UCLA (5-3, 4-1 Pac-10) @ Arizona (3-6, 2-4 Pac-10)
Kickoff: 12:30 PM Television: ABC Regional Coverage Stadium: Arizona Stadium (5,002)
Who can forget the 2005 game between these two schools when a young Willie Tuitama broke onto the national scene by throwing two early touchdown passes against then No. 7 UCLA en route to a 52-14 upset victory? At the time, Arizona fans thought the team was finally onto something, but then the Wildcats turned around and lost to a winless Washington team 38-14 the very next weekend. Again, Arizona is faced with the same situation except that this time they're trying to rally off the momentum of a comeback win over Washington by upending the Bruins this weekend amidst Homecoming festivities. UCLA QB Cowan is expected to play and if he does, despite the Bruins being down after last weekend's loss to lowly WSU, this game looks to be a fight to the end. Arizona has two conference wins and is looking for back-to-back victories for the first time since winning three in a row last November. Amazingly, the Bruins, suffering three embarrassing losses (Utah, Notre Dame, and WSU) are still in the hunt for a conference title. Arizona can put an end to the Bruins' hopes by avenging last year's 27-7 loss. Arizona was in sync against the Huskies, amassing 535 yards of total offense. 510 of those came in the air, though, so a balanced attack is still an issue. The Wildcats rank No. 113 in rushing and will need to do better on the ground if they expect to beat UCLA who has a very strong secondary. If the Bruins drop eight into coverage, Tuitama will have to show poise in the pocket, make his reads, and throw to the open man. Tuitama has been accused of locking onto receivers at times this season and that has gotten Arizona into trouble. Last weekend, he made his progressions very well. In fact, on the game-winning touchdown pass to Mike Thomas, the speedy wideout from Texas was Tuitama's fifth option. The key to this of course will be Arizona's ability to protect Tuitama in the pocket. For UCLA, the Bruins are stout in the running game (171 ypg) thanks in part to a big and agile offensive line. Arizona will need to find a way to clog the middle while still maintaining containment on the ends. If Arizona can stop the run and force Cowan to make throws, Arizona will gain a significant advantage. If the Bruins are able to run the ball down Arizona's throat, then UCLA can control the clock and keep Arizona's potent offense off the field. Turnovers will also help decide who wins but perhaps the biggest factor is which team wins the kicking game. Both teams have had great success in the return game, oftentimes running back kick offs well beyond the 40-yard line. To this end, the team that plays with the shortest field all day will win. There's a collective hope in Bruinland that a loss such as one to Arizona will be enough to show head coach Dorrell the door. Something tells me that they'll get their wish this weekend.
Washington (2-6, 0-5 Pac-10) @ Stanford (3-5, 2-4 Pac-10)
Kickoff: 3:30 PM Television: FSN – Direct TV Channels 649, 651, 653 Stadium: Stanford Stadium (50,000)
Who would've thought that after early-season blowout losses to UCLA, Arizona State and Oregon the Stanford Cardinal would be in position to go to a bowl game? As crazy as this may have once sounded, it's entirely possible that the Cardinal can not only go to a bowl game, but perhaps finish in the top tier of the conference. Three of their final four games are at home and of those four, only one team (Cal) has a winning record. The Cardinal get UW this weekend before traveling to Pullman to face the WSU Cougars. They then get Notre Dame in Palo Alto before hosting the Big Game against the boys from Berkeley. The emergence of their head coach Harbaugh as a true leader to rally behind has Stanford playing inspired football and although they continue to lose some games (OSU last weekend) they're playing much better. In fact, had they not been beaten by the injury bug so badly this season, this is a team that could easily have finished the season 8-4. For Washington, it's the exact opposite as they seem destined for yet another last place finish in the conference for the third time since 2004. The Huskies have a ton of talent but it has not yet gelled, or materialized into wins yet. Why is anyone's guess? QB Locker is one of the conference's best, but only when he's able to get outside of the pocket and make plays. He was able to break containment in a loss to Arizona, rushing for 157 yards and throwing for 336. The problem though is that he was a one man show and in the Pac-10 no one player is going to single-handily beat a conference foe – at least not this season. This is a winnable game for both teams and the fact that it's played at Stanford gives the Cardinal the edge. The Huskies are just 4-9 on the road under Willingham. The good news is that the Cardinal are just 1-4 at home this season. Stanford's DE's will do a better job than Arizona in containing Locker and in doing so I don't think the results will be any different. If it's a close game, Stanford will find a way to win under Harbaugh. If I had to guess at a final score, I'd say the Cardinal pull one out late 28-27.
Arizona State (8-0, 5-0 Pac-10) @ Oregon (7-1, 4-1 Pac-10)
Kickoff: 3:40 PM Television: ESPN Stadium: Autzen Stadium (54,000)
This is a huge game for both teams. Never has so much been on the line for two teams in the Pac-10 since perhaps the 2004 season when No. 1 USC hosted No. 7 Cal at the Coliseum. The Ducks are a last second fumble into the end zone against Cal from being perhaps the No. 1 team in the BCS rankings while ASU has made one of the biggest climbs the BCS rankings has ever seen. Oregon QB Dixon is a special player who deserves Heisman recognition and he'll finally get a second chance to showcase his skills to the entire country after the early season beat down of Michigan way back on Sep. 8. His counterpart, ASU QB Carpenter, is also having a strong season, but may be hampered by a nagging wrist injury. The Sun Devils have been silent about Carpenter's injury but knowing head coach Erickson, Carpenter is probably just fine. Assuming he doesn't snag his throwing hand on a blitzing opponent's helmet, expect him to throw the ball with no trouble. ASU is without RB Torain for the rest of the season and this could be significant. Torain is speedy, but he's also powerful and his toughness against the Ducks will be sorely missed. With all the national hype leading into this game, Erickson and Bellotti will have their kids raring to go. The team that can channel their emotions the best in the first quarter may find themselves up early. If it's ASU, then forget about it, the Sun Devils will win as they, like all great teams, are a tremendous second half team. If it's the Ducks, then watch out as ASU has shown a propensity to rally back and win every game they've trailed in this season. ASU's secondary is very good but how they account for the duel-threat Dixon is in doubt. If they shadow Dixon, expect the Ducks to throw screen passes to RB Stewart in space. If they back off, expect Dixon to take to the ground and most likely turn what would be a 5-yard gain for most QB's into a 20-yard jaunt down the field. This game will be fast and explosive ala what you would see from a typical LSU/Florida game. Both teams will represent the conference well but only one will go home happy. The statistics say the winner will be Oregon, but I have a gut feeling (and it utterly disgusts me to write this) Erickson finds a way to get it done. ASU 38, Oregon 35.
Oregon State (5-3, 3-2 Pac-10) @ USC (6-2, 3-2 Pac-10)
Kickoff: 5:00 PM Television: ABC Regional Coverage Stadium: Los Angeles Coliseum (92,000)
Something tells me that the loss to Oregon last weekend will pave the way for USC QB Booty to find himself back in the starting lineup. The last time these two teams played, OSU jumped out to a 23-point lead before the Trojans came storming back. The game was eventually decided on a late 2-point conversion that failed when Booty's pass to the end zone was batted down at the line of scrimmage. Most will say the beginning of the end of USC's reign as the supreme team in the conference ended that day and they'd be right. Since then, the Trojans have lost three more games to conference foes. While this doesn't sound like much, the conference will now have been responsible for keeping USC out of the BCS Championship Game for two straight seasons. USC is getting healthier and healthier by the day and, if Booty does start, should have no trouble in beating the Beavers for the 22nd consecutive time in the Coliseum. If Sanchez gets the start, all bets are off as the blitz-happy Beavers will try and exploit a banged up Trojans OL and the inexperienced QB. When the Beavers get more than five sacks in a game, they're tough to beat. USC will try and reestablish their running game to neutralize the OSU defensive onslaught. If they can, that should open receiving lanes down the field for Booty or Sanchez to throw into. TE Davis continues to be one of the nation's best at his position. The problem is that having a TE as your leading receiver is not what USC is used to. For OSU, their QB remains a liability. He has only 8 TD's against 13 INT's for the season. The good news is he hasn't throw any INT's in the past two games. The bad news is he has only thrown 1 TD in his last four and has three games this season where he hasn't thrown a TD at all. Both teams boast strong ground attacks with average passing attacks. This would suggest a low scoring game with limited possessions. Give the slight edge to USC on defense and an even slighter edge on offense thanks to the fact that the Trojans' receivers finally demonstrated an ability to catch the ball against Oregon. Still, this is a USC team in transition that is searching for an identity behind center. I like USC in this game, but not by much. Trojans 27, OSU 17.
Washington State (3-5, 1-4 Pac-10) @ California (5-3, 2-3 Pac-10)
Kickoff: 7:00 PM Television: FSP and FSNW – Direct TV Channels 653 and 651 Stadium: California Memorial Stadium (72,516)
Cal has lost three straight games and is in dire need to post a victory soon in hopes of salvaging the season. Who better to get one against then Wazzu at home? The problem is that WSU is coming off a win over UCLA last weekend, a Bruins team that beat Cal two weeks ago 30-21. The big question I have is Cal the type of highly ranked team that when they finally lose and all their end-of-season goals are dashed, simply falls apart, or are they capable of rallying the troops and finding their way into a decent bowl game? It's hard to say. Based on the evidence, Cal seems to be heading in the direction of the Emerald Bowl as opposed to the Sun Bowl. Still, a loss to the Cougars this weekend would be incredibly shocking. WR Jackson should be able to exploit a shoddy WSU secondary while RB Forsett should be able to compile at least 100 yards on the ground. ASU and UCLA were both able to hold Forsett to 78 and 76 yards rushing, respectively. Wazzu though does not have as good a defense so expect Forsett to carry the load and have a breakout game. This game is a late start and fortunately for the Pac-10 only those on the west coast will see it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cougars score early and make things difficult for the Bears as they too have struggled against the pass. However, the Bears should rally and begin to get pressure on WSU QB Brink in the second half where you'll see the tide turn. Any lead the Cougars have will be short-lived and the Bears should win going away in the fourth quarter. Cal 41, WSU 28.

WASHINGTON – The European Union's bid to keep genetically modified foods at bay risks causing economic ruin by forcing the bloc to depend on the outside world for food, scientists said Thursday.
In a review paper published in the journal Trends in Plant Science, scientists in Britain and Spain said that well-intentioned EU policies have backfired, thwarting innovation and stifling the small farmers they aimed to protect.
"What has emerged is a fragmented, contradictory, and unworkable legislative framework that threatens economic disaster," said the article.
Europe has endorsed a strategy that calls for separation of conventional and genetically engineered crops so as to offer consumers and farmers a choice.
But coupled with "haphazard implementation of these measures without coordination or a rational scientific basis," it amounts to a de facto moratorium on the cultivation of genetically engineered crops such as corn, cotton and soybeans, the scientists said. As a result, European nations are forced to import those products.
A similar dilemma was pointed out with pesticides. "The EU has banned many pesticides, but approves the import of food products treated with banned chemicals," said the article.
Efforts to suppress genetically engineered agriculture are "ideological rather than scientific," and are leading to the increasing isolation of the European Union on the global scale, it said.

Faulkner, Jackson, Poe and Moore…
In honor of Arlington Reads 2014, we asked Arlington readers to tell us their all-time favorite short stories. Should we be worried that so many are horror?
"The Dead" from The Dubliners
by James Joyce
An annual family party results in a man's dawning self-awareness of his insecurities and failings, and the question of whether it is better to die young, and the desire to be remembered.
Mehvish says, "It was hard to forget Gabriel, with all his flaws and insecurities; who hasn't felt insecure and who doesn't want to be remembered long after they're gone?"
"You're Ugly, Too" from The Granta Book of the American Short Story, Vol. 1
by Lorrie Moore
A brief encounter between Earl and Zoe highlights both of their failings in looking for a relationship.
Beth says, "Incredibly poignant, dark humor with a perfect twist at the end. Moore is a master of the short story"
"The Lottery" from The Lottery and Other Stories
by Shirley Jackson
One of the most terrifying stories written in this century, The Lottery created a sensation when it was first published in The New Yorker in 1948.
Jennifer says, "It belongs in any primer on narrative style, and still stands as a concise (and devastating) assessment of social behavior. The plot continues to influence all sorts of fiction (see "The Hunger Games"); and unfortunately Jackson's keen insight comes to mind all to often when reading the news of the day."
"Snow" from The American Story: Short Stories from the Rea Award
by Ann Beattie
An unnamed female narrator who recounts the story of the time she spent in the country with her former lover.
Jeff says, "I fell in love with this during my first fiction class. It's only 1.5 pages long, yet still dynamic and very intimate. Written in the 2nd person."
"The Necklace" from The Necklace and Other Tales
by Guy de Maupassant
After devoting their energy and income for ten years to replacing a borrowed diamond necklace that they lost, a woman and her husband learn the irony of their efforts.
Anthony says, "Crafted as if a fable, Maupassant weaves the story of a woman addicted to lifestyle of status and the resulting downfall that comes with her hubris and greed. I read the story so many years ago but it has stuck with me ever since."
"Reports of Certain Events in London" from Looking for Jake
by China Miéville
This short story, in the form of a collection of fictional documents supposedly "received" by the author, presents the idea that there exist certain autonomous streets which phase in and out of existence, living complex and mysterious lives of their own, and even having romances and violent feuds amongst their alley selves. The street that is the focus of the story (Varmin Way) is also mentioned in Un Lun Dun briefly.
Alex says, "The idea that the streets have their own agenda is both fascinating and addictive."
"The Pit and the Pendulum" from Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe
by Edgar Allan Poe
The story of a man's attempt to survive in a torture chamber during the Spanish Inquisition, one of the most deadly inquisitions in history.
Henry says, "It's a classic of built-up fears and you can't beat the opening line: "I was sick-sick unto death with that long agony…" Has anyone really improved on horror writing since Mr. Poe? Good luck trying."
"The Awakening" from The Awakening and Other Stories
by Kate Chopin
When a Louisiana woman meets a young resort owner while on vacation, she begins to fall in love with him despite her own marriage.
Kimberley says, "I first read it when I in high school, and thought it really captured the feeling of disconnectedness. It resonated with me at the time, and it is one of the few works that I still keep in hard copy."
"The Monkey's Paw" from The 13 Best Horror Stories of All Time
by W.W. Jacobs
The paw of a dead monkey is a talisman that grants its possessor three wishes, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate…
Christina says, "My heart still pounds whenever I read it. It is true mastery to present a complete story in just a few words."
"Barn Burning" from Collected Stories of William Faulkner
by William Faulkner
The prequel to Faulkner's Snopes trilogy, "Barn Burning" deals with class conflicts, the influence of fathers, and vengeance as viewed through the third-person perspective of a young, impressionable child.
Ellen says, "One of the most heart-wrenching stories I've ever read. The weight of having to choose between loyalty to family and what's right is depicted with force and intelligence.
"We Have a Pope!" from The Best American Nonrequired Reading, 2004
by Christopher Buckley
Originally published in The Atlantic Monthly, a comic tale of campaigning for the first American Pope.
Joanne says, "The funniest short story I have ever read. I laughed all the way through! I read this in Borders during a quick break for studying for the bar and that moment of fun was much needed."
"Tenth of December" from Tenth of December: Stories
by George Saunders
In which a suicidal cancer patient save the life of a young misfit.
Lisa says, "I love this man's work. He always has a compelling story to tell. After reading this story (it is the last one in the collection), I read three of his other collections too!"

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- President Obama said today that Mitt Romney's suggestion that 47% of Americans see themselves as victims suggests that his GOP rival hasn't "gotten around a lot."
Obama's fresh tweak of Romney, who has been grappling with the fallout of the release of a secretly recorded video in which he lamented that nearly half of Americans were dependent on government and would not support him, came at a forum at the University of Miami sponsored by the Spanish-language network Univision. The comments marked the president's most extensive comments on Romney's gaffe.
Obama's comments came after Romney told an Univision forum Wednesday that his "campaign is about the 100% of America." Obama was asked by reporter Jorge Ramos which Romney Americans should believe.
Obama laughed -- and declined to answer whom he thought is the real Mitt Romney -- but the president didn't let the opportunity to take a shot at Romney go to waste.
"When you express an attitude that half the country considers itself victims, that somehow they want to be dependent on government, my thinking is that maybe you haven't gotten around a lot," Obama said.
Obama said Americans' "problem is not that they are not working hard enough or they don't want to work or they are being taxed too little or they just want to loaf around and gather government checks."
"We have gone through a challenging time," Obama said. "People want a hand up not a handout. Are there people who abuse the system? Yes, both at the bottom and the top. Because there are a whole bunch of millionaires who aren't paying taxes at all either."

Nature Vs Nurture Define The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest issues in psychology. The debate centers on the relative contributions of genetic inheritance and environmental factors to human development. Some philosophers such as Plato and Descartes suggested that certain things are inborn, or that they simply occur naturally regardless of environmental influences. Other well-known thinkers such as John Locke believed in what is known as tabula rasa, which suggests that the mind begins as a blank slate. According to this notion, everything that we are and all of our knowledge is determined by our experience.
For example, when a person achieves tremendous academic success, did they do so because they are genetically predisposed to be successful or is it a result of an enriched environment? Today, the majority of experts believe that behavior and development are influenced by both nature and nurture. However, the issue still rages on in many areas such as in the debate on the origins of homosexuality and influences on intelligence.
What is Nature Vs. Nurture?

text: NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On Oct 18, Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks Studios will premier its movie, The Fifth Estate, based on the real events surrounding the controversial website, Wikileaks. The website, which gave whistleblowers the opportunity to anonymously leak confidential government and corporate information, was built using wiki technology--but not all wikis are the same. A wiki is a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in collaboration with others. Wiki technology is used as a platform to enable crowdsourcing, the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people. Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written collaboratively by the people who use it, is often mistakenly associated with Wikileaks, but the two are not affiliated. "There is no connection between these organizations," states Alex Konanykhin, CEO of WikiExperts, a Wikipedia visibility and monitoring service. "Both use wiki technology, but neither owns it. While WikiLeaks once used the technology to allow whistleblowers to expose government and corporate secrets, Wikipedia is a much more benign site where the world can contribute to and reference a common encyclopedia, and notable corporations and individuals can establish a global presence." With nearly 400 million unique visitors each month and 3,000 consultations per second, Wikipedia is the primary global source for consumer and business information. A study recently released by WikiExperts, revealed that 97% of Fortune 500 companies have Wikipedia profiles, and that these profiles typically show up within the first 10 Google search results for the brand. With 93% of online searches beginning with a search engine, and Google owning an estimated 70% of the search engine market share, the visibility and referencing of these profiles will only continue to increase. When asked for his opinion regarding WikiLeaks, Konanykhin responded, "According to the Nuremberg principles, people have not just the right, but the duty to expose illegal government activities, so I find whistleblowing of unlawful activity justified. At the same time, I believe that disclosures must be limited to unlawful activities only, and that legitimate secrets, whether governmental, corporate or private, should be respected."

Her paintings are like a time machine, taking us back to the Golden State's golden years. In a new exhibit at the Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles, New York artist Amy Park transforms the late architectural photographer Julius Shulman's black-and-white photos of Modernist California homes and buildings into cheery tributes to an era long gone.
The show, "California Experimental Architecture," captures architecture designed during an idyllic time in the state's history, which Artinfo's Kelly Chan writes is a sentiment that is "unattainable, now more than ever." It was a period, she says, full of optimism that inspired and enabled.
Shulman's iconic images of buildings by Charles Eames, Richard Neutra, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Pierre Koenig empowered an entire local design movement. His compositions awakened the masses to the ideas, hopes, and visions behind the façades of his subjects. It was Shulman who pioneered architectural photography as its own distinctive art form.
Tributes to the photographer, best remembered for his photos of L.A., already exist on film and in print.

i don't know i guess enough to hurt the thing
Well his strength comes from his Kree half. How strong is an average Kree or should we be looking at how strong Mar-Vell was?
he could lift 10tons so hulking lift 10 tons what about his skrull side.
Skrull's aren't Super Strong. He only has super strength from his kree side.
O okay so since hes part huan kree and skrull would it effect how much he lifts in the least bit or would it stay the same.
He is Half Kree and Half strull. From Kree he gets his strength and from skrull he gets shape shifting. Thats it.
Hes also demonstrated more power though rigth i always forget wha they are liek growing wings talons flying bulking up and some other things i think telepathy.
The wings, talons, bulking up is all from shapeshifting. And no he doesn't have any other powers.
Dang your right. that is all hes got.

He shape shifted himself some muscles. Just like when he shape shifts wings and they actually let him fly, when he gives himself more muscles, they actually make him stronger.

If he only got his strength from his kree side then as an average Kree can lift approx 1000 lbs, it's not much in the way of superstrength. However, maybe his twin race nature provides him with some mutant characteristics?
Anyway, it does seem clear that his shapeshifting is not just cosmetic but does confer additional powers - this is not a new idea, other Marvel characters have displayed the same range of powers (for example the skrull girl that appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy). As to how strong Hulkling can get when he 'bulks' up - he has had an entry (I think) in some of the new Handbooks with the power scales - so this might give us a hint.

Questions You Shouldn't Be Afraid to Ask Your Auto Repair Tech
Often, drivers are mystified by how their cars actually work. It's to be expected. Even an older car is a complex machine with many sub-assemblies that all work together to move it down the road.
As a result, drivers tend to be a little intimidated by auto repair and often tend to not inform themselves by asking the necessary questions of a tech or a garage. Too often, that ends up being a big mistake. Here are some examples of the kinds of things you really should know before any auto repair work starts:
- Does your shop work on any kind of vehicle? Of course, most shops can service a product from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and the other leading makes. Some makes, however, require a lot more training and experience, o ...[more]

Six Hot Tips on Cool Air Conditioning
Summer is here, and it's time to start thinking about your car's AC system! Nobody likes driving around in a hot, stuffy car, and a car with an AC system which only works marginally is somehow almost even worse than one which doesn't work at all. Let's go through a few tips which can help you keep your ride a little more comfortable this summer…
Remember a cars AC system is really a heat exchanger which moves hot air out of your vehicle, then replaces it with cold air. One thing you can do to help improve its efficiency is to leave your windows down an inch or two (if possible) when you park the car, helping to prevent excess heat buildup. When you start the car and begin to drive off, lower all the windows for the first minute or two to help move hot air out of the car more quickly, giving the AC system a chanc ...[more]

Keep Your Cool This Summer
Before the blazing sun of summer leaves you sweating and feverishly rolling down the windows, consult a mechanic to inspect your air conditioning system for leaks, cracks or other malfunctions. There is no greater summertime discomfort than peeling yourself out of a scorching vehicle. Beat the heat with air conditioning repair. Like most auto repair an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of good. Never allow a tiny problem turn into a disaster; as a minor air conditioning repair is often relatively quick and inexpensive, while a larger fix may not be.
As the air conditioning system in a vehicle ages, constant check-ups and addressing small problems will save both time and money in the future. If the air conditioning system in a vehicle is not offering the cooling power it once did, there are several preventative measures whi ...[more]

Cadillac Reviews Discussion, 2008 Cadillac CTS in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; ...
2008 Cadillac CTS
The Cadillac CTS is the perfect car for the entry-level luxury segment, and the almost perfect car for the midsize luxury segment. Its stunning shape, impressive power train, and well-built interior arent the only things that make this a great car. However, I still have reservations about this little Cadillac, and many of them are things I couldnt overcome had I owned this car.
My particular car is a 2008 CTS with the 1SA package. This car is absolutely stripped; no nav, no heated seats, no wood grain trim, not even leather. Instead, I get a leatherette type seating (read: vinyl) that is actually quite impressive, an elegant looking faux carbon fiber trim that surrounds the dash panel and doors, and a decently comfortable 8 way power driver seat, lacking only lumbar support. I think there is something to a base model car however; in about 5 years time, all that extra electronic crap is going to start to wear out and need replacement. So if you think about it like that, the base car might have more going for it in the end. So, lets start with the actual review of the car.
Im a sucker for the CTS exterior. Its absolutely stunning in the best possible way. Its razor sharp edges and elegant sloping front grille is the 2.0 version of the 03-07 model, which looked awkward from a few angles. This car doesnt suffer from that, as the design as a whole is more cohesive and better put together. One of my favorite touches is the side vent, which gives a more uptown feeling and helps the CTS stand out more as a Cadillac. The only negative from testing the base car is the standard wheel: a boring looking 17 6 spoke design that does not look fitting for a car in this price range. The sport packages available with the CTS offer a stunning 18 wheel design that looks both more stunning and aggressive to match the CTS looks.
The power train options are equally as impressive. All base model CTS have the 3.6 liter DOHC V6 standard making 263 horsepower and 252 pound feet of torque. Mated to a standard 6 speed manual transmission or optional 6 speed automatic with manumatic shift control, this car has plenty of get up and go, yet is well suited to make your trip to the mall or Wal-Mart without any fuss. Power delivery is smooth, only hampered by the sometimes clunky transmission, an attribute that plagued my particular car. An available Direct Injection 3.6 makes 303 horsepower and 272 pound feet of torque. Having driven this model, I feel the added power is worth the extra $2000, though the base model provided more than enough power. My only negative on this particular engine is the lack of a sexy sounding exhaust note. It lacks the deepness and roar of Cadillacs own Northstar V8.
Handling is one of the CTSs best attributes. Miles ahead of anything Cadillac was building 10 years ago, this car doesnt need all the fancy computer controlled geometry of past Cadillacs to be a handler. This car has good ol rear wheel drive, and a poised feel that is matched by few cars in the class. While the car lacks the overall polish of say, a BMW 3-series, we have to remember this is a much larger car. The handling is on par with the 5-seires though, offering precise steering feel and an overall lack of body roll. The ride is controlled and surprisingly supple, and the steering is near perfect. It knows when youre going along the highway, yet perfectly adjusts when you become a little sporty. All of this on the base FE1 suspension; Cadillac offers three levels of suspension. FE1 is the softest, mainly focusing on a comfortable ride instead of high-end handling; FE2 is best compromise between sport and luxury, offering a good ride and more controlled handling. FE3 is stiff. Very stiff, but offers up one of the best handling cars Ive ever driven. Its excellent steering and flat cornering rival the BMW 3, yet with a roomier cabin and more conclusive set of features.
Speaking of interior, this is where the car looses some of its luster for me. Its beautifully assembled, and offers a great design that is confusing at first, but becomes extremely user friendly. However, Cadillac overlooked a few details that make it hard for me to love the interior as much as the exterior. Starting with the seats, which are uninviting and hard. They offer little in the way of support, and for long trips I would have a feeling that the squirming game would start. Maybe it has something to do with the leatherette, but Ive been in several high end CTSs and the same problems persist: the whole seat is too small. For an average sized guy like me, who has a little bit more luggage to tow around, this something that would deter me from considering this car. The worst part is the driving position. Its nearly impossible for me to get it just right. The steering wheel either sticks out too much or is up too high, and I feel like Im sitting in a bathtub. The center console sits down just a tad too low for resting my arm. The design of the door panel is awkward, and my legs feel like they are dangling there; I usually rest my left leg on the door panel. Im also unimpressed with the Bose stereo. It sounds muddy, has very little bass, and the controls are confusing to adjust. If youre reading this Cadillac: give me the 425 watt Bose stereo from the 98-04 Seville. Please.
But getting on to the good, the car does have a beautiful center stack design that shows where Cadillac was listening. The previous car had a very cheap looking interior, filled with hard plastics and a design that didnt belong in a Toyota Camry, let alone a $30k+ luxury car. The buttons, which look confusing at first, are really simple to get a grasp on and spending 10 minutes inside the car shows an intuitive design Other pluses for the interior is the quite roomy backseat, and a decent set of cupholders. The standard features are impressive, including a neat looking set of gauges, dual zone climate control, a Bose CD stereo that offers up eight speakers, a CD player, MP3 player hookup, and XM satellite radio. But the most impressive thing about the interior is the build quality. Only one rattle hinders an otherwise perfect interior; I can count 3 on my car. The dash panel gaps are only millimeters big, and the gap between dash and doors isnt large enough to where you can stick your hand through it. Go for the wood grain trim though; it brightens up the interior and adds a touch of class to the car.
Overall, I like the CTS. The design is stunning, the power train is impressive, and the handling is match by few cars in the class. It doesnt get my full approval mainly for the uncomfortable seats and awkward seating position. As the owner of a 2000 Cadillac Seville STS, I find that the CTS has superior build quality and overall design, but lacks the refinement of the Northstar V8, interior comfort, and pampering feel the Seville gives. The CTS feels like an entry-level car. The Seville feels like a true luxury vehicle, whether you consider it one or not.

Courtney Stodden has always looked somewhat, uh, enhanced. So much so that she once took lie detector tests to prove she'd never gone under the knife before. But finally, Courtney Stodden has opted for breast augmentation -- just as Nostradamus predicted she would.
It seemed some of that Chris Brown aggression may have rubbed off on Rihanna on Sunday, June 16, when she whacked a fan with her mic mid-song during a concert.
Justin Bieber can't seem to break away from car trouble. The pop star was investigated last night for allegedly hitting a photog and driving away -- but has now been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Now that Farrah Abraham has a bestselling sex tape, it's high time she looked the part (well, looked the part even more). So last month, she had herself retrofitted with a new pair of boobs to replace the old-new boobs she bought a while back. But since these are way better, maybe she won't be so ignored at porn conventions.
Today (June 7) celebrities lost pets, sought pastries, met other celebrities, learned to tweet and got their Vine on.
Professional hot mess Amanda Bynes was denied access to a private jet over the weekend after trying to use a Google vanity search in lieu of government-issued ID.
A group of children who helped out in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy got a special surprise during an advanced 'Iron Man 3' screening on Monday, April 29, when star Robert Downey Jr. showed up to thank them for their hard work.
Country music star Billy Currington was indicted in Chatham County, Ga. this afternoon (April 24) on charges of making terroristic threats and "abuse of an elderly person," which is pretty much the worst kind of abuse ever.
The last time we joined Amanda Bynes, she was threatening to sue everyone on Earth for using unflattering photos of her. She was also calling Perez Hilton a fatty, because maturity.
Now, she's posted a video of herself getting herself ready for a long night of twerking. And it's just as terrifying as you'd imagine.
Things got a little weird last night (April 14) at the MTV Movie Awards, when 'Parks and Recreation' star Aubrey Plaza channeled her inner Kanye West on Will Ferrell.
It's been an eventful couple of weeks for Amanda Bynes. Her privates were nearly murdered and she might be getting pudgy, so it only makes sense that she's under a little stress.
Now she's threatening to sue gossip bloggers on, uh, some legal ground she hasn't thought of yet.
When Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, hosts of the boozy fourth hour of 'Today,' covered a story on female grooming etiquette Friday morning, it all seemed innocent enough. But the wine-fueled conversation lead Kotb to make a rather revealing confession: She has a "landing strip."

Patti Hart on Stepping Down From Yahoo's Board
I was in Vienna on vacation with my son and husband. In the middle of the night, my phone started ringing, and my e-mail started flooding. Dan Loeb, a Yahoo investor, had accused [CEO] Scott Thompson of lying about his degree and challenged my academic credentials, too. I am one of the most vetted CEOs in the country. When I got a degree in business administration in 1978, my areas of focus were marketing and economics. Back then you only had broad-based degrees with areas of emphasis. At some point along the way, as press releases were being written, people highlighted the focus by saying I had a degree in marketing and economics. Scott had been portrayed as having a computer science and accounting degree. [It was in accounting.] It was a little ridiculous. Would we have hired Thompson if it did not say he had a degree in computer science? Yes.
The first call I made was to my chairman [Philip Satre]. I said, "I'm happy to take you through my credentials." And he said, "That's not necessary. Enjoy your vacation and take care of whatever you have to do." I spoke to Scott a couple of times. He needed to hear: "Whatever your situation is around your credentials, I have great respect for you as a human being. A lot of people do a lot of wonderful things and have a few warts along the way in life, and that's OK."
Yahoo shareholders didn't need a fight. I decided I would not stand for re-election. When I informed the board, they said, "We understand but can't imagine this board without you. You've been the backbone." There was never any pressure. I wasn't going to let my PR department fight a battle that had nothing to do with IGT. The board, in its negotiations with the activist [Loeb], asked for those who weren't standing for reelection to resign. I had no interest in serving in a boardroom with an activist shareholder this nasty to me. I was not a person to him. I was just an obstacle. The most disappointing thing was that we acted as a committee, and when I turned around, my committee wasn't there. The decision to hire Scott was unanimous. When the public and the media began to paint this as a CEO liar who was hired by a liar, they didn't come to my defense. Things don't always go perfect. You have to act as a team. — As told to Diane Brady

UPDATE: Suspect injures police officers, citizen after West Seattle traffic stop
Update for 8:17 p.m., Nov. 13
Seattle Police Det. Jeff Kappel sent out an update the traffic stop that led to two injured officers and an injured citizen who subdued the suspect:
An adult male suspect assaulted an officer and a sergeant this afternoon while they attempted to prevent the suspect from fleeing the scene of a traffic stop. At approximately 4:45 p.m. a uniformed female officer on patrol observed a male suspect who was driving a black Kia run a red light on California Avenue SW at SW Charlestown Street. After running the red light the suspect almost struck the officer's patrol car. The officer conducted a traffic stop on the suspect at 42nd Avenue SW and SW Charlestown Street. A patrol sergeant responded to the scene to back up the officer.
Upon further investigation it was discovered that the suspect had no driver's license and no identification on his person, and provided a false identity to the officer. At one point during the stop the suspect attempted to drive away from the scene at which point the officer physically intervened to stop him. A struggle ensued between the officer and the suspect at which point the sergeant intervened.
An adult male citizen who observed the altercation jumped in to assist the officers. The suspect was eventually taken into custody.
The officer, the sergeant and the citizen were all injured in the struggle. The citizen was examined by fire department medics and released from the scene with non-life-threatening injuries. The female officer and male sergeant were also examined by medics at the scene and subsequently transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of their non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect was not injured.
After a further records check on the suspect officers verified that the suspect was wanted on an outstanding King County Sheriff's Office felony burglary warrant. The suspect was also found to be in possession of narcotics.
The 28-year-old male suspect was transported to the Southwest Precinct for processing and will be booked into the King County Jail on the following charges: Felony Assault on an Officer (x2), Felony Assault on a citizen, Felony Possession of Narcotics, and on the Felony Burglary warrant.
Original post at 5:30 p.m., Nov. 13
A man has been arrested for attempting to flee from police after he was pulled over near the intersection of 42nd Ave S.W. and S.W. Charlestown St. around 5 p.m. on Nov. 13, according to police at the scene.
Early details are that an SPD officer pulled the man over for not coming to a complete stop and he decided to flee the vehicle. He had no ID according to police.
A female officer in pursuit was "slightly" injured in the pursuit, and other responding officers were able to catch the suspect. UPDATE: A male sergeant and male citizen were also slightly injured by the suspect.
The officer and sergeant were taken to Harborview for treatment of their injuries and the citizen who intervened was treated at the scene and released. The male suspect was uninjured.

how to install head?
my new boat (''73 Newport 27s) that I just got supposedly has a 12 gallon holding tank (which I cant seem to find lol) and a porta potty in an enclosed head area... I noticed alot of people install heads to these... my question is, what is involved to install a hand pump marine toilet? is it ALOT of work? I guess I would need to run a water hose from the water tank to the toilet by drilling my way through (eek, sounds scary) and then where would I install the holding tank? and how do I dump out the holding tank? I believe there are ''pump out stations'' that I go to... how does that work? they have a big long hose that they plug into ur holding tank and it sucks it dry or something? what about all the stuff that is ''more dry'' (ya know what I mean lol) how do they take that out? is it some system that keeps a flow of water running while pumping out the stuff or something? I have also heard people dumping out the holding tank in the ocean offshore.... how do they do this?
sorry for the tons of questions, but I want to replace that nasty porta potty with a normal head! thanks!
how to install head?
oh and if I wanted to get one installed instead of doing the work myself, how much would it run me? any idea?
how to install head?
The Holding Tank is often installed under the V-Berth.
Ive posted a crude Marine Head Plumbing Diagram, on the CruisersForum & Photo Album, at:
how to install head?
I''ll check under the v-berth a little closer next time, but I''m sure i havent seen it there... i wonder if its possible that its under where the portapotty is?
does the holding tank smell? considering the vberth is where I sleep if i choose to stay on the boat
how to install head?
lookin at ur diagram, this would mean the head would have to be installed while the boat is out of the water...
that looks like alot more work then I thought...
how to install head?
Yep, pretty difficult to install underwater thru-hulls while afloat.
how to install head?
you say pretty hard
so its possible? how is that?
how to install head?
Sorry, I was being facetious about the difficulty in drilling holes through your hull when afloat - its just NOT practicable.
I neglected to indicate Holding Tank Vent lines on my CruisersForum plumbing diagram.
Holding Tank Vents:
The Sewage Holding Tank requires Venting, to allow for proper ventilation (eliminates odours) and to avoid creating a vacuum when pumping out. I recommend TWO Vent lines, promoting cross-ventilation.
Vent lines should connect to the top (not sides) of the Holding Tank, and continuously slope slightly upwards to the Vent Caps, which are installed as high as practicable on opposite sides of the hull. The Vent hoses should be at least 3/4" diameter (larger is better), and as short (direct path) as possible.
how to install head?
Hello razorseal
I have a friend (we will call him Bill, because that is his name) who owns a Newport 27 that he still owns after buying it new around the time you mention as the build year of your boat. Yes the tank is under the V-Birth. I think he had to replace the tank about two years ago. I am sure he can help you with all of the details of the installation, we no doubt could even take some pictures and send them to you via e-mail.
As I read your paragraph of questions, I have to believe that your boat was built with the Porta Potty option. For one thing if the factory did install the tank there would be a pump out fitting in the deck, which I am sure you would see, as well as the vent, which I think is just under the rub rail.
Bill lives about 5 blocks from me and I see him all the time. I will talk to him tomorrow, that will be Monday Jan. 23. To get this started you can drop me an e-mail -- email@example.com --.

how to install head?
Installing a complete head system is a lot of work, but one an owner can do. Fitting a tank can be a problem as is running hoses in confined spaces. A good source for tanks is: http://www.raritaneng.com/products/holding_tanks/custom_tanks.html.
You need to examine the place you plan to put your tank and try to assess how difficult it will be to work in that area. You want the bottom of the tank completely supported so if the v berth under does not have a flat bottom, you will have to build one. You will probably have to glass in pieces of marine ply to support a tank.
Be sure to buy the very best hose you can find.

The place: London.
The threat of terrorism, imported and home-grown, hangs in the air.
A recession bites.
Fresh crimes of violence are reported daily, with Londoners torn between fascination and fear, and the police struggling to retain the confidence of the public.
The year: 1896.
In the well-heeled suburb of Muswell Hill, Henry Smith, a retired engineer, is found tied-up and beaten to death in his own home.
Scotland Yard detectives are on the scene within the hour, but their investigations are hampered by judges and politicians, who refuse to recognise the latest breakthrough in forensic science, fingerprints.
"The British policeman," says a high court judge," must depend on his customary tenacity and ingenuity."
As the detectives identify suspects, and launch a nationwide manhunt, news of the crimes goes global, with reports in newspapers as far apart as the USA and New Zealand.
Tetherdown (the name of the road where the murder took place) is a fast-moving play by Scott Cherry and Gregory Evans which views these tragic events of over a century ago through the prism of 2010.
Every character is based on a real person connected to the case.
Nicholas Woodeson (Great Expectations; Conspiracy; Red Riding) stars as Detective Constable Burrell.
DC Burrell - Nicholas Woodeson
Inspector Marshall - Sean Baker
Nutkins - Ben Crowe
Emily - Alison Pettitt
Milsom - Tony Bell
Fowler - Jude Akuwudike
Judge - Ian Masters
Director: Marion Nancarrow.
Scott Cherry and Gregory Evans' play revisits a scandalous Victorian crime.

(editor's note - this is an update to a story we featured at http://www.microbeworld.org/index.php?option=com_jlibrary&view=article&id=2038)
A research team at Johnson Space Centre in Houston has been re-examining a meteorite that hit Antarctica 13,000 years ago, and found the most compelling evidence yet that the planet once harboured bacterial life.
The team says that microscopic crystals found in the rock are almost certainly fossilised bacteria that have many characteristics in common with bacteria found on Earth.
"The evidence supporting the possibility of past life on Mars has been slowly building up during the past decade," said David McKay, Nasa chief scientist for exploration and astrobiology.
"This evidence includes signs of past surface water including remains of rivers, lakes and possibly oceans and signs of current water near or at the surface."

Phuket Gazette - 2014-01-22 05:05 PM
It is Tri-Fest time again in Phuket with thousands of international athletes from around the world descending on the island for the 21st edition of the Laguna Phuket Triathlon on November 23, followed by the 2nd Challenge Laguna Phuket a week later on November 30.
The recent Junior Challenge triathlon at Thanyapura Sports & Leisure Complex saw hundreds of youngsters take part in the fast swim, bike and run and introduced us to some of the rising stars of the sport, including Caleb Sadler - who, at 18, was saying farewell to the junior field, having taken 8th place in the previous weekend's Laguna Phuket Triathlon.
Dawn broke across Bangtao Bay last Sunday greeting more than 600 athletes ready to take on the 2015 Challenge Laguna Phuket triathlon. Swiss Olympian Ruedi Wild powered into first place with a new personal best of 3:54:45 - a minute ahead of Belgian Bart Aernouts and a full eight minutes faster than his previous year's victory. Finishing out the men's field was another Phuket triathlon favourite, Italy's Alberto Casadei, who came in third at 3:58:22. In the women's field, Swiss pro Simone Braen
As the sun rose over Bangtao Beach this past Sunday, the sand was awash with athletes gearing up to take part in 22nd annual Laguna Phuket Triathlon. More than 1,300 pros, eager amateurs, relayists and age-group athletes from 44 nations gathered to take part in the LPT.

The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod began work in Vietnam in 1995 with humanitarian assistance and educational services. The Vietnamese government recognizes the LCMS as a nongovernmental organization (NGO). The LCMS' work in Vietnam began with a strategic partnership with the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), a government organization. The LCMS and the NIN worked together to address issues of malnutrition and poverty in rural areas of Vietnam for more than 15 years. Today, human care projects continue and include multiple governmental and non-governmental partners, working to reduce poverty and malnutrition, as well as addressing social issues.
Building on this new emphasis of children's social, physical and intellectual development, the LCMS has partnered with a social enterprise in the capitol city of Hanoi called Play! café — a hybrid café and children's play area — to encourage healthy interactions between parents and children. It is building a reputation as a caring, clean and encouraging place for parents to bring their kids. Moreover, the LCMS coordinates community education courses through Play! café to address issues like childhood development, nutrition, basic infant care and parenting.
From early in its history in Vietnam, the LCMS has also partnered with various universities in and around Hanoi to provide GEO teachers of English. These GEOs not only teach English but also build relationships with students and organize clubs and study groups.
In 2011, the LCMS started Concordia International School Hanoi to provide a top-tier, Lutheran education for local and international students in Hanoi. The school regularly supports the humanitarian work of the LCMS.
Currently, a team of LCMS career and GEO personnel and educators reside in Hanoi, a busy city of 7 million.
As Vietnam develops into a middle-income country and many NGOs pull out, the LCMS makes a strong witness by staying and finding ways to bless the people of Vietnam even as the country develops. What a blessing for the LCMS to show mercy in such a significant way. Please pray for the work of the LCMS in Vietnam and for its team, that they would be a blessing and witness to the people of this country.

Shortly after the March 6 announcement that a federal jury had found former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby guilty on charges of perjury, obstruction of justice, and lying to federal investigators, both Fox News Washington managing editor Brit Hume and syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak peddled various falsehoods regarding the CIA leak case. On Fox News' Live Desk, Hume claimed that special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald's investigation "was exploded right from the beginning" when Fitzgerald learned that then-deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the original source for Novak's July 16, 2003, column revealing Valerie Plame's CIA employment. Hume repeated his previous claim that Armitage's disclosure was "the only leak that made any difference" and went on to say that Fitzgerald nonetheless "found it necessary to press on and ... he's now convicted somebody of a crime that did not occur until the course of his investigation."
In fact, as Media Matters for America has noted, while Armitage was Novak's primary source for Plame's identity, the information Armitage divulged was confirmed by White House senior adviser Karl Rove. Further, Hume overlooked the fact that, while Libby did not leak Plame's identity to Novak, he was reportedly the original source of the information for at least two other reporters during the summer of 2003. As The Nation Washington editor David Corn noted in an August 27, 2006, post on his Nation weblog, regardless of the fact that Armitage was Novak's primary source, "the public record is without question: senior White House aides wanted to use Valerie Wilson's CIA employment against her husband."
Earlier in the broadcast of The Live Desk, Novak asserted that Fitzgerald "did not feel" that the 1982 Intelligence Identities Protection Act "was violated" in Plame's outing, although Fitzgerald "has not said so." Novak added that Fitzgerald "did not believe there was a violation of the law, which was, I believe, the primary purpose of his being called in as a special prosecutor." But as Media Matters has noted repeatedly, Fitzgerald has stated that he was unable to determine whether any laws were violated in the leaking of Plame's identity because his investigation was impeded by Libby, who was convicted on four of the five charges brought against him.
In an October 28, 2005, press release summarizing Libby's indictment, Fitzgerald indicated that he had not been able to reach a conclusion about whether a crime had been committed in the leaking of Plame's identity, saying that Libby impeded the grand jury's investigation:
Without the truth, our criminal justice system cannot serve our nation or its citizens. The requirement to tell the truth applies equally to all citizens, including persons who hold high positions in government. In an investigation concerning the compromise of a CIA officer's identity, it is especially important that grand jurors learn what really happened. The indictment returned today alleges that the efforts of the grand jury to investigate such a leak were obstructed when Mr. Libby lied about how and when he learned and subsequently disclosed classified information about Valerie Wilson [Plame].
And in a press conference that same day, a reporter specifically asked Fitzgerald whether the investigation was over and whether the probe would fail to "lead to a charge of leaking." In response to the first question, the special counsel said that the investigation had not concluded. In response to the second question, Fitzgerald compared himself to an umpire who, while attempting to determine whether a pitcher intentionally hit a batter, had sand thrown in his eyes.
Media Matters posted an item shortly after the verdict was announced in anticipation of such misinformation.
From the March 6 edition of Fox News' The Live Desk:
MARTHA MacCALLUM (host): Now, when Richard Armitage shared that information with you, what was your understanding of what he was trying to tell you?
NOVAK: I had asked Mr. Armitage in the course of a background interview, why it was that Joe Wilson, who had been in the Clinton White House and was a critic of Bush policy, who had no experience in nuclear policy, who had not been to the African country he was sent to in many, many years since he was a junior officer, why in the world was he sent? And Mr. Armitage smiled and said because his wife suggested it -- she is -- works in the counter-proliferation division of the CIA. He was in answering a question to me, and I put that in the middle of a very long column. I didn't think it was the scoop of the century.
MacCALLUM: But when he said that to you, he said it in the context that you were talking politics with him really. You were saying, "So, Joe Wilson goes to Niger. He comes back and finds that what the administration is saying is not the case, according to his findings, and comes back and reports that," and you were saying to Mr. Armitage, "Why would they send Joe Wilson of all people," right?
NOVAK: That's right, and he said -- and he gave the answer that his wife worked at the CIA, and she suggested it. That was not the lead of my column. It was not the main point of the column, but it was a fact inside the column.
MacCALLUM: And when Armitage was questioned by Patrick Fitzgerald, he let him go, and it's my understanding that the reason that he didn't press charges against him was because he didn't believe that Mr. Armitage had disclosed anything that was illegal to disclose.
NOVAK: That is right. The whole question is -- although Mr. Fitzgerald has not said so and doesn't have to say so -- he did not feel that the secret agents identity act was violated. He did not believe there was a violation of the law which was, I believe, the primary purpose of his being called in as a special prosecutor.
Now, obviously, if this had -- not obviously -- but if this had not been -- if the Bush administration had shown any guts and had kept this case in the Justice Department, not given it to a special prosecutor, they could have said no law was broken, end of case, case dismissed.
Instead, a special prosecutor -- I think Mr. Fitzgerald is an honorable man who wanted to do the best job he could, but he has no supervision. He is a completely free agent, and that's why Congress did not renew the Independent Counsel Act. Now, we have a special counsel being named in this case because the then-Attorney General Mr. Ashcroft said that he was not willing to take the heat of keeping the case with inside the Justice Department.
HUME: Remember what we were originally about here. This was an investigation -- at least supposed to be an investigation in the outset -- about whether something really quite serious had happened: whether the cover of an active covert CIA operative had been blown for, essentially, political reasons -- that is to discredit a critic of the administration's Iraq policy. That is the -- and that is, of course, a crime to deliberately out someone in that position. That's what this special prosecutor was named to investigate.
Well, it quickly turned out -- and he knew it, did the prosecutor -- that the person who actually carried out the only leak that made any difference, that is to say the only leak that ever got published, which is the one to Robert Novak that got into his column, which he just described to you a few minutes ago -- that that was done by someone not connected to the White House and someone who was in fact himself a war critic. So, that whole theory of the case was exploded right from the beginning, but Fitzgerald found it necessary to press on and, eventually, he's now convicted somebody of a crime that did not occur until the course of his investigation.
Now obviously, you can't take lightly a perjury or obstruction of justice conviction. On the other hand, we are very far afield from where this case originally began, and I think that it's probably a good thing for the reputation of Patrick Fitzgerald that he got this conviction because had he not, he would have ended up looking very foolish indeed to have gone this far afield to bring forth what, in the larger context, can certainly be seen as a minor charge.

Averages for Sardinia in October
October is Sardinia's wettest month of the calendar year, with an average of 41mm across the month, affecting around 11 days. Despite this fact, you should still find plenty to keep you occupied during the final summer season month, and you will certainly find cheaper deals and lesser crowds now the end of season has arrived.

Averages for Sardinia in October
October is Sardinia's wettest month of the calendar year, with an average of 41mm across the month, affecting around 11 days. Despite this fact, you should still find plenty to keep you occupied during the final summer season month, and you will certainly find cheaper deals and lesser crowds now the end of season has arrived.
October sees an average temperature of 18°C, which some may find welcome following the high temperatures of the previous months, with a high of 22°C, and a low of around 13°C, leading to much better sleeping conditions of an evening.
Despite the rainy feel to October, the sun still shines for an average of 6 hours per day, and the sea temperature is still a very pleasant 21°C, which means you can still enjoy beach days when the weather is clear, as it often is towards the coastal regions, as opposed to the more northern and inland regions of the island.
Small street in Cagliari
Where to stay
As October means a little more in the way of rain, many visitors choose to head to the capital, Cagliari, for a break, giving a choice of nearby beaches and city life during one holiday. There are plentiful choices for accommodation in Cagliari, however Ulivi E Palme Hotel offers a comfortable base, and if you do get some good weather and feel like getting active, the outdoor tennis courts and gym will serve you well.
Alternatively, if you are in beautiful Porto Rotondo, Sardegna Smeralda Suite offers a home away from home base, giving you the chance to do your own cooking and feel like you are living in the heart of paradise.
Stella Maris Churs, Porto Cervo
What to do
Cagliari was built on seven hills, a little known fact, and this being the capital, it should be explored to the max. October brings cooler temperatures, and the chance of rain, so that makes exploring a city a better bet than sunbathing. The top of Bastione San Remy gives you amazing views, and you can visit the beautiful Cathedral of Cagliari from here too.
If you want to go a little off the beaten track then exploring Sardinia's former mining history is a must. UNESCO have recently declared the small village of Ingurtosu a World Heritage Site, to preserve the history and old mining workings which are still there. Many of these have been renovated and restored, and there is also a hotel there now too, so you can explore and stay in comfort.
If all that exploring has left you exhausting, head back to nature and enjoy some water-based fun before winter takes hold. Just north of Palau, in the north of the island, you will find Isola dei Gabbiani. Despite the fact this is a beautiful area in its own right, this is also a favourite place for wind-based sports, including kite surfing. If you want to give it a go for yourself, there is a surf school and plenty of instructors to help you take your first flying steps!
The coast of La Maddalena Island
Hit the beach
The official final month of summer sees a little more in the way of unpredictable weather, but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy beach days when the weather is clear. San Teodoro is a great place to head to out of season, or towards the end of summer, when there are less crowds, meaning you can roam much more freely as a result.
La Cinta is an ever-popular spot, with plenty of white sand space, water-sports whilst the season is still open, and the chance to kick back and relax.
Where to eat and drink
Everyone love a glass of wine, and locally grown wine is even better! In Cagliari, head to INU Sardinian Wine Bar and taste some locally cultivated vino, to help wash down your tapas-type meal, which is all made of locally grown produce, such as cheese and bread – totally authentic!
We've mentioned pizza a fair amount, but it has to be done! Pizzeria Federico Nansen, again in Cagliari, has a huge range of different toppings on offer, and these are what you could call 'proper' pizzas, with a special quirk or two to make them stand out – a must try.
If you're in Porto Rotondo, enjoying the last days of summer, head to Asaggia and enjoy a drink or two with a light meal, in totally laid-back surroundings.

Regional Report: Repeal Of Same-Sex Marriage Fails
03/23/12 7:50AM By Mitch Wertlieb, Melody Bodette
| Download MP3
It's been a busy and contentious week in the New Hampshire Legislature.
A group of lawmakers tried and failed to repeal the state's same-sex marriage law. If they had been successful, NH would have become the first state in the nation to repeal same sex marriage by an act of the legislature.
We're going to examine this issue now in our weekly Regional Report, a conversation with local editors and reporters about what's making news in their communities.
Valley News political editor John Gregg has been tracking this story as events unfolded in Concord. The vote wasn't even a close one, the repeal failed 211 to 116. VPR's Mitch Wertlieb asks John Gregg if that was a surprising result.
