Wayne's World: Gunman Shoots Bus Driver in Ala., Takes Child as Hostage
A gunman shot and killed a school bus driver in Midland City, Ala., Tuesday afternoon and escaped the scene with a 6-year-old passenger, which has prompted a hostage situation that is still going on this morning.
The suspected gunman is identified as Jimmy Lee Dykes, a 60-something military veteran, a police source told ABC News. Dykes and the child are in an underground bunker behind his home.

4. Didn't he take a particular kid?
I'm going to have to go back and try to find it but I thought I read that the reason he shot the bus driver was because he wouldn't give him the kid. If so, maybe he knows the kid and at least won't harm him?
This is just so bizarre.
On edit, it does not read that he wanted a particular kid, just a hostage, two preferred but only one little guy didn't get away.
This is maddening.

5. the child was autistic
and needs medication, the negotiaters had to give it to him through a PVC pipe in the bunker.
I don't know why this is not a bigger story.
The bus driver was a true hero, he died protecting his children from a crazed paranoid prepper.

Thanks for the update. I would guess this is not a bigger story because it doesn't help the gun rights cause.

3. Holy crap...
... I just watched enough of that to be freakin' terrified ... that there are people in this country who will send this guy money, buy guns and ammo, MREs, fuel and whatever other snake oil he's selling, and then bunker themselves down to survive the inevitable government zombie apocalypse and stay out of the FEMA mass graves.
I think he actually said "...if a band of marauders invaded your home and mercilessly slaughtered you and your family, would you be able to live with the knowledge that you could have done something about it?" Um, no. Not under those facts.

6. "thinks the governments out to get him. Hes not right in the head"
The kidnapper has been identified as Jimmy Lee Dykes, a 65-year-old military veteran who lives on a rural Private Road 1539 off of U.S. Highway 231. On Tuesday at 3:30 PM, Dykes assaulted a school bus and demanded hostages to hold off the law coming for him. He then fatally shot the driver multiple times after he attempted to prevent Dykes from escaping with a child.
The county coroner, Woodrow Hilboldt, said that Dykes had his hostage held in what has been described to me as an underground bunker. Someplace to get out of the way of a tornado.
Neighbors described Dykes' behavior as erratic. It's the craziest thing. He will be outside in his yard digging dirt at 2:30 AM in the morning, James Davis Jr. said.
Hes the type that thinks the governments out to get him. Hes not right in the head, adds neighbor Michael Creel.
Creel said he had attempted to stop Dykes.
Hes 67 years old, so I figured I could catch him, he said. Apparently he didnt go through the field like I thought. Hes got a four-foot-wide, about six-foot-long, eight-foot-deep homemade bomb shelter. Its got about three to four feet of sand on top of it. If you didnt know it was there, you wouldnt [notice it].

Lambeau: a field of dreams for 2014 Packers
Published Dec. 8, 2014
The Green Bay Packers enter tonight's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a perfect 6-0 mark at home, and they have already scored the fourth most amount of points at Lambeau Field in history. And they have two games left. So what is it about playing at home in 2014 that makes it special?

Without ruling on the merits of the case, a federal judge late Monday threw out a lawsuit by legal services and community organizations to block the Los Angeles Superior Court from drastically reducing the number of local courtrooms hearing eviction cases.
The plaintiffs, however, intend to continue fighting the so-called court consolidation plan, which took effect Monday and they are deciding between appealing the decision or bringing the case to a state court instead.
In his order, US District Judge Terry Hatter said the federal court "abstains from considering plaintiffs' claims" but did not elaborate.
Neal Dudovitz, executive director of Neighborhood Legal Services, one of the organizations that filed the lawsuit, explained the federal judge abstained in the belief that a state court should hear the case instead.
"This is not a ruling on the merits of our claim at all," Dudovitz said. "(Hatter) just said we have to go somewhere else with it, and that's what we're going to do. "
"We cannot allow this (consolidation) policy to close the doors of justice in our client's faces," he added.
Larry Gross, executive director of the Coalition for Economic Survival, one of the plaintiffs in the case, vowed, "There will, most certainly, be a next step!"
"The courts cannot be allowed to move forward with this court closure and consolidation policy," he added. "The impact would be devastating to poor people and people living with disabilities.
Because the plaintiffs were not able to secure a temporary restraining order through the federal lawsuit, the Superior Court has begun scaling back its operations to close an $85-million dollar budget deficit by June 30, including reducing the number of courtrooms hearing eviction cases.
Last year alone, the Superior Court heard about 70,000 eviction cases in 26 courtrooms. Once consolidation is in place, only five courtrooms will hear eviction cases, forcing many tenants facing eviction to commute as far as 60 miles in the early morning hours to try to save their homes.
The Superior Court has also begun the first phase of closing eight courthouses and removing most court work from two other locations. Consolidation also means small claims cases will be heard in only six courthouses instead of current 26.
"The first phase of the court's consolidation plan began on March 18," Mary Hearn, spokeswoman for the Superior Court, said. "As of that date, new unlawful detainer cases, as well as new small claims, general civil personal injury, and limited civil cases must be filed at the courthouse locations described in the notices and the plan."
"Pending cases will continue to be heard at the courthouses where they originated until the parties receive notice that their cases have been transferred," she added.
Those who want to file new eviction cases in the San Fernando Valley can no longer do so in either the Van Nuys or Chatsworth courthouses. They have to go to either Santa Monica or Pasadena instead.

The 7 Series Tier 3 by Landini stands for innovation. Designed with uncompromising comfort, performance and productivity in mind, this tractor range is tailored to meet the needs of the most demanding customers, allowing operators to handle the toughest jobs with ease, whether in the field or on the road. The three models in the range are powered by the new "F.P.T. NEF 6 CYL CR TAA" 24-valve, six-cylinder turbo engines with ELECTRONIC HIGH PRESSURE COMMON RAIL Featuring the "Dual Power" system to provide additional power for road and PTO applications, these engines deliver plenty of torque making for high flexibility and pulling power. They are located within a rugged chassis which helps reduce noise and vibration levels within the cab. The "Roboshift" transmission with 24 speeds in six ranges offers a fourspeed on-the-go powershift and incorporates electro-hydraulic range shifting and a left-hand steering-column power shuttle. The transmission is controlled electronically via pushbuttons located on the multi-function armrest and features an "Autoshift" function, ensuring easier operation in the field or during transport operations. A creep speed unit is available as standard for those tasks requiring slow speeds such as harvesting or specialist seed bed preparation. The electro-hydraulically engaged rear PTO features an exchangeable shaft providing 6 or 21 splines and offers four speeds 540/540E/1000/1000E rpm. The electronic control of the PTO always ensures smooth and modulated implement start-up, thereby enhancing operator comfort and reducing maintenance needs. The closed-centre hydraulic system incorporates advanced features to deliver high efficiency and maximum reliability. The system is equipped with a variabledisplacement pump that provides a flow rate of 123 l/min to operate all hydraulic functions and up to six electro-hydraulic remote valves. The electronically-controlled rear hitch with draft sensing on the lower links provides a maximum lift capacity of 9300 Kg and allows a precise control of the implement. A radar sensor is also available for operations where true ground speed is required, this can also be used in difficult ground conditions to improve tractive performance and reduce wheel slip. True versatility can be obtained with a front hitch capable of lifting up to 3500 Kg and a front PTO. The front axle, either rigid-mounted or with electronically-controlled independent suspensions, offers a 55° steering angle, providing excellent manoeuvrability in confined spaces. The "Lounge Cab" is a true high-tech lounge designed to offer the operator a functional and ergonomic environment with logically-arranged controls for maximum comfort and ease of operation. The interior features a high-quality, automotive-grade fit and finish that further enhances the operator comfort.
The new F.P.T.-Nef 6-cylinder turbocharged engines fitted on the 7 Series tractors feature 24 valves and a cylinder displacement of 6728 cm3. All models are equipped with an electronic high-pressure Common Rail fuel injection system and deliver 145 to 225 hp, providing powerful and reliable performance in any working conditions. Advanced electronic control systems ensure optimum clean combustion and compliance with the Tier 3 emission standards, while maintaining excellent fuel economy and delivering 40% torque rise. In addition to this, the Dual Power system, combined with the engine electronics, allows for automatic increase of both power and torque for PTO and transport operations, when needed. A cast-iron chassis mounted on rubber shock absorbers supports the engine to eliminate any load and torsional stress on the front axle, resulting in reduced noise and vibration levels for improved engine reliability and durability.
Generous with power, the 7 Series does not skimp when it comes to transmission either. Landini engineers have designed and engineered the Autopowershift transmission to allow this powerful and versatile tractor range to perform a variety of tasks and suit any working conditions. With 32 speeds over four ranges, the Autopowershift transmission provides eight Powershift speeds onthe- go in each range and is available with a choice of mechanical (Techno version) or electronic (Full Tronic version) range shifting. The transmission integrates an electrohydraulic reverse power shuttle which provides a total of 32 forward and 24 reverse speeds. Optionally (for the Techno version), the 7 series tractors can be fitted with a creep speed option, operated by a push button, thus extending flexibility to 48 forward and 40 reverse speeds. Depending on the country's legal limit, the transmission is available in a 40 or 50 km/h version.
The "Lounge Cab" is a true technology lounge that allows the operator to work the tractor with maximum ease and comfort. Designed to offer a safe, stress-free working environment for long hours in the field, this four-post cab with flat-deck platform and rear-hinged doors offers easy access to the driving position and unequalled all-round visibility. The air suspension seat features a multi-function armrest that houses the main tractor controls and the telescopic tilt-adjustable steering column is designed to tilt with the instrument panel. The cab is pressurized to keep a clean, dust-free environment and the highly-efficient automatic climate control maintains the desired cab temperature whatever the outdoor weather conditions. To further increase operator comfort, an electronically-controlled hydraulic cab suspension system is available as an option. The driving position is ergonomically designed and equipped with easyto- use, logically-arranged controls. The cab interior features an automotive-style fit and finish and comes standard with radio with USB port, Bluetooth, MP3 player and four loudspeakers for the maximum comfort of operation. The cab is further equipped with modern and stylish interior and exterior LED lights.
The closed-centre hydraulic system with variable-displacement pump provides a flow rate of 123 l/min to the hitch and remote valves, allowing for simultaneous operation of all hydraulic functions. With the raise/ lower control conveniently located on the multi-function joystick controller and the main settings integrated into the right-hand console, the rear hitch guarantees precise implement operation. Offering a maximum lift capacity of 9300 kg, the three-point hitch is Category III and is equipped with lower link draft sensing for accurate implement control.

Chancellor Dorothy Leland of the University of California, Merced, announced today the hiring of Kyle D. Hoffman as vice chancellor for Development and Alumni Relations. The appointment is effective May 21, 2012.
Hoffman has spent the past 14 years as assistant vice chancellor for Alumni and Constituent Relations at UC Riverside, and he spent 14 years prior to that in various positions at UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara. He will replace interim Vice Chancellor David Hosley, who has also been serving part-time as executive director of UC Merced's Sierra Nevada Research Institute. Hosley's position at the institute will transition to full-time when Hoffman assumes his new duties.
"Kyle Hoffman is an effective and seasoned leader in development and alumni relations, with extensive leadership experience in fundraising and institutional knowledge of the University of California system," Leland said. "I have no doubt he will be a significant asset as our campus continues to navigate a challenging economic landscape that requires us to focus more on private donations in lieu of state funding."
As vice chancellor, Hoffman will oversee all of UC Merced's fundraising efforts while also managing the development of the campus' young but growing alumni base. He will also serve as vice president of the UC Merced Foundation.
Hoffman received his bachelor's and master's degrees from UC Santa Barbara, where he worked for five years in the 1980s as director of Student Relations and director of the Alumni Vacation Center. In 1989, he became the executive director of the UC Riverside Alumni Association, and later was named assistant vice chancellor of Alumni and Constituent Relations. He also worked as the assistant personnel manager of the UC Santa Barbara Olympic Village during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
A first-generation college graduate himself, Hoffman said he was drawn to UC Merced in part because of its critical role in improving college-going rates and the regional economy of the traditionally underserved San Joaquin Valley, and by the chance to continue a professional career that has been dedicated to advancing the UC system.
"This is an exciting and challenging time for UC Merced," Hoffman said. "Working with our dynamic new chancellor, I plan to bring stability and vision to our development and alumni relations efforts and to vigorously pursue critical new resources that will allow UC Merced to advance to even greater heights."
Hoffman's compensation package will include an annual salary of $218,700 along with the following additional items:
- per UC policy, standard health, pension and senior management benefits and standard sick and vacation accrual;
- per UC policy, a temporary housing allowance of up to $11,070 for a period of 90 days to offset limited housing-related expenses;
- per UC policy, a relocation allowance of $10,000 to assist with relocating to Merced, plus two house-hunting trips;
- per UC policy, a five percent monthly contribution to the Senior Management Supplement Benefit Program; and
- per UC policy, eligibility to participate in the UC Home Loan Program, in accordance with all applicable policies.
He will also be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses for business-related visits to campus during a four-week transition period from April 25 to May 21.

A WICKED RIDE (The Wicked #1)
A thief on the hunt...a former mob enforcer out for revenge
Sasha Forde has hung up her thieving stillettos, but a visit from a mobster sends her back to her old life. In order to save her family--and herself--from jail, she must steal evidence hidden in a lawyer's office. She sets out to do what she considers a simple B and E, but someone else has arrived first. And he holds her life in his tattooed hands. Not for long.
Niko Davaris is all about revenge on the man who tried to kill him. The evidence he stole is the first step in that direction. He's not thrilled to wake up with a gun to his head. The woman on the other end is cocky, smug and too damn hot for her own good. He wants her, she wants the evidence. When she takes it and disappears, he gives chase. Battle lines are blurred as they give in to temptation, but on a ride like this, someone has to come out on top. Who will it be?

If comparably equipped the difference is more like $4500 not $7K. As you menioned, the F30 gets power seats, but also iDrive, heated rear seats, rear HVAC vents, and ambient lighting standard. Also the quality of the interior parts is noticeably lower in the X1. Note that the seat desigs are different as well. Why the paddles are only offered with the Sport Line and M Sport is beyond me. It's likely a way to encourage them into a package. The F30 has more interior passenger space and maybe they can command more for that.
Remember that they didn't introduce the X1 to US until this year because they couldn't make as good of a profit on them as the ROW, but now they have the capacity and can accept the lower profit. If you can sell a car for a lower profit without impacting the sales of other models, why not?
As others have said, it comes down to what the market will pay, and they will ask what they can get. All models have acceptable profit, but why not a fatter profit, if people are willing to pay.

Calcuttas record-breaking heatwave ended on Sunday with the maximum temperature dropping below 40 degrees Celsius for the first time in six days, only for humidity to head uncomfortably north.
The Celsius fell 2.1 degrees since Saturday but the days maximum reading of 39 degrees still stood four notches above normal. The increase in minimum relative humidity up from 17 to 29 per cent overnight ensured that Calcuttans didnt feel even a negligible difference.
A heatwave is declared when the maximum temperature rises five degrees above normal and hits 40 degrees Celsius or above.
The forecast is for the weather to stay sultry for at least another day, after which there is a sliver of a chance for that much-missed thunderstorm to hit town. A cyclonic circulation over the state caused moisture incursion on Sunday. We expect the moisture incursion to continue on Monday and there is a chance of a thunderstorm, said Devendra Pradhan, deputy director-general (meteorology) at IMD, Calcutta.
The cyclonic circulation caused clouding on Sunday, resulting in the maximum temperature dropping a little.
Weather scientists blame the Norwester no-show this season for April being at its cruellest. The city generally records at least five thunderstorms by this time, but theres been none since the one on March 25.
During the summer months there is generally a high pressure belt near the Bengal-Odisha coast that pushes moisture inland, making conditions favourable for thunderstorms. But this year, the pressure belt is positioned south of its normal position and is not being able to feed moisture to land, said Gokul Chandra Debnath, director of IMD, Calcutta.
For a tall thundercloud to form, heat and humidity both need to be high at the same time. While there has been no let-up in terms of heat, the level of moisture saturation has been inadequate for thunderclouds to build up.
According to L.S. Rathore, director-general of IMD Delhi, the high-pressure belt has been pushed south by low-pressure zones developing in northern and western India. Western Disturbances, which are storms generated in the Mediterranean region, have adopted a more southern trajectory this year. Instead of going into the Himalayas, they have come into the plains. The low-pressure zones are a residual effect of this, he said.
So while Calcutta and most of the east have been robbed of rain, the intense low-pressure zones have caused unseasonal rain in Delhi.
Under normal circumstances, a high-pressure belt on the Bay is positioned near the Bengal-Odisha coast. Since the atmospheric pressure in a high-pressure belt is greater than that of its surroundings, there is a southerly flow of air into Calcutta and beyond till the Chhotanagpur Plateau, where it mingles with the dry winds from the west. The confluence of winds creates a disturbance in meteorological terms, leading to the formation of thunderclouds that soon erupt, a Met official explained.
Such storms travel eastwards and often reach Calcutta, typically in the afternoon or evening, to drag down the temperature and humidity almost immediately. Since March 25 this year, Calcutta has been searching in vain for the rainy lining behind every dark cloud on the horizon.

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions said its president and chief executive Chip Cleary has decided to return to a private job in the theme park industry in early 2013. IAAPA board member Paul Noland, a former Disney executive, will replace Cleary in IAAPA's top post on Jan. 1.
From 1995 to 2011, Noland was an executive with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. He also led Walt Disney World's financial team in various positions, and worked for Marriott earlier.
IAAPA chairman Roland Mack praised Cleary for restructuring the association's global sales team, upgrading its technology and critical operating systems, launching a program to defend members' intellectual property and overhauling its budget and expense management processes.

Japanese scientists have found a mysterious marine microbe, half of which cells eat algae like animals while the rest perform photosynthesis like plants.
Professor Isao Inoue, a member of the University of Tsukuba research team, told the Mainichi Daily News he believes the microbe demonstrates part of the process of single-cell marine microbes evolving into plants.
The research team discovered the single-cell microbe, a kind of flagellate, on a beach in Wakayama Prefecture, and called it "hatena" or "mystery."
The microbe is originally green and is made up of algae. When it divides into two cells, one takes over the algae from its parent and remains green and the other turns colorless, Mainichi reported.
The animal-type colorless cell develops an organ like a mouth and uses it to eat algae, while the plant-type green one uses algae it has in its body to perform photosynthesis and produce energy, according to the team.
The researchers believe that as the marine microbes evolve into plants, only the chloroplasts in algae they had taken in their cells developed, while the other organs degenerated.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a highly heterogeneous disorder. SLE-associated autoantibodies and high serum interferon alpha (IFN-a) are important heritable phenotypes in SLE which are correlated with each other, and play a role in disease pathogenesis. We set out to detect genetic factors associated with autoantibody profiles and serum IFN-a in SLE.
SLE patients were stratified by extremes of phenotype in serology and serum IFN-a for a case-case genome-wide association study. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven loci were selected for follow up in a large independent cohort of 450 SLE patients and 522 controls using a multi-step screening approach based on novel metrics and expert database review. The seven loci were: LRRC20, PPM1H, LPAR1, ANKS1A, PTPRM, EFNA5, and VSIG2.
SNPs in the LRRC20, PPM1H, LPAR1, ANKS1A, and VSIG2 loci each demonstrated strong association with a particular serologic profile (all OR>2.2 and p<8×10-4). Each of these serologic profiles was associated with increased serum IFN-a. SNPs in PTPRM and LRRC20 were associated with increased serum IFN-a independent of serologic profile (p=3.2 × 10-6 and p= 5.0 × 10-3 respectively). None of the SNPs were strongly associated with SLE in case-control analysis, suggesting that the major impact of these variants will be upon subphenotypes in SLE.
This study demonstrates the power of using serologic and cytokine subphenotypes to elucidate genetic factors involved in complex autoimmune disease. The distinct associations observed emphasize the heterogeneity of molecular pathogenesis in SLE, and the need for stratification by subphenotypes in genetic studies.

This article is part of Next, The Globe's five-day series examining the people, places, things and ideas that will shape 2013.
Steering his SUV down a remote, two-rut path, Bryan Templeton glances over to snow-covered fields with a smile. "You wouldn't even know we'll have a thriving oil facility here some day," he says. "But you will shortly."
Mr. Templeton is the site manager near tiny Hardisty, Alta., for TransCanada Pipelines, the company behind the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. And they are already building.
Three massive oil tanks are under construction, rising up from a valley at the end of the snowy road. When commissioned in the summer – one of a series of projects on tap around Hardisty in 2013 – this tank trio will hold over a million barrels of oil.
It will also be the start of Keystone XL, if it is approved.
"Everything starts here," says Mr. Templeton, whose company is waiting for the U.S. State Department to give the project the green light – but has started building the tanks anyhow. "As tank farms grow, and these facilities grow, the batches [of oil] tend to get bigger, so you need bigger tanks."
The new tanks join three existing ones serving TransCanada's original Keystone pipeline. These six are clustered with 80 more that are already built, are in construction or being planned by several companies in this so-called tank farm east of Hardisty, an unassuming energy hub of pipelines and storage here in east-central Alberta, 600 kilometres south of the oil sands in Fort McMurray.
But while Hardisty and the tank farm are minutes apart, they seem like different worlds. Hardisty, with about 700 residents, is like so many small towns across Canada – simply holding on while its young people move away and the economy stagnates.
Many buildings are empty along the main drag; some businesses that have survived are for sale. And people are growing weary of promise after promise that oil wealth will breathe life into town. They support the pipeline, but don't see it as a silver bullet, because they've never seen the windfall.
"Everybody's anticipating, but I've yet to see it," says Bonnie Whidden, 60, who owns the Country Inspirations antique store along Hardisty's main street. It is for sale. She is skeptical about what impact the looming building boom will have on Hardisty. "It could grow, it might not. Who knows – 2013 is the year that it's supposed to explode."
Ms. Whidden suspects that, instead, the face of her small town will continue to transform to serve the transient work force; most of the jobs created at the tank farm are during construction, and are not permanent. The tank farm itself is almost entirely across a municipal boundary, yielding little tax revenue to Hardisty and its district. Ms. Whidden has turned to coupons and extended store hours to woo tank farm workers, but most, she says, shop in their hometowns and just work near Hardisty.
"These are rural communities, and they're all going down the tube," Ms. Whidden laments. "You know what it's going to be? Restaurants, liquor stores, bars and hotels. That's all."
Hardisty is a boom-and-bust town that popped up a century ago during the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The tank farm began in 1949 and has grown slowly since then. The tanks serve the spider's web of pipelines that start here or pass through – if a pipeline shuts down, tanks are needed to store oil until a restart. But the growth hasn't helped the town.
"I remember Peter Lougheed sitting in our school gym in 1974, saying we were going to be the next Fort McMurray.… We've heard our share of 'this is going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread,'" says Brian Harrison, 51, whose family opened Hardisty's local hardware store in 1967. It is also for sale.
"When you travel around, people say, 'Oh, Hardisty, that's really going to take off.' Well, maybe in my lifetime, but I'm not holding my breath."
Oil development is the lifeblood of the economy in eastern Alberta, which has some of the province's lowest unemployment rates. Oil, gas and pipelines account for 96 per cent of all capital projects planned in the surrounding Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor. But its impact is more a construction boom than an oil boom.
"Hardisty, in the past, has certainly experienced those high-highs during construction, then it tails off," says Bud James, chair of the area's Battle River Alliance for Economic Development. He expects Keystone XL to be approved, but says there are other projects scheduled to drive the economy. "It's not like it's the end of the world if it's not approved."
Mr. James's group hopes to lure families to live and work around Hardisty and surrounding towns, but there is a shortage of large homes in the region. "I think that's where the opportunity is for us – to promote quality of life," he said. "There's a real understanding that what's a benefit to Hardisty is a benefit to east-central Alberta."
But in Hardisty, the direct benefits are few. Even if Keystone XL goes forward, there's little hope of long-term gain here – just a short flurry of worker activity in 2013.
"They come in, they pay rent, they eat, they buy stuff and then they leave," says Sheila Baumgartner, 26, a manager at Hardisty's sports bar, The Leaf. She was born and raised in town and, like so many here, supports the pipeline. But she doubts what impact it will have, long-term. "We're so used to having people come and go. Some stay. And some go."Report Typo/Error

She told us that she was much alone, that even yet the good people of Mariel treated her with suspicion.
Mariel might have been talking nonsense, or he might have been reading the Gospel.
They accordingly crossed the Bay of Mariel in a small boat and thus reached the eastern side of the trocha.
Mariel fit into one side of the puzzle, interlocking with Dartmouth.
Four of the vessels had been left between Havana and Mariel.
Shandor scowled, looking first at Ingersoll, then at Mariel's impassive face.
Get a big enough dose, and you're dead, Mariel—but I guess you know that, don't you?

More are taking antidepressants, but not for long enough
Page Tools
Australia's antidepressant bill is growing dramatically but much of the money is being wasted, according to research that shows most patients stop using the drugs long before they should.
Australian therapeutic guidelines say antidepressants are most beneficial when taken for six to eight months, while international research says extending the treatment period to 12 to 18 months halves a patient's risk of falling into another depression.
However, a survey of more than 10,000 Australians prescribed antidepressants in 2002, found only 40 per cent were still using them six to eight months later. Published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, the survey found half the patients stopped using the drugs in the first two to four months.
Australian GPs prescribed $263 million worth of antidepressants last year - an increase of more than 60 per cent on five years earlier.
Andrea Mant, one of the study's authors, said the dropout rate was "dramatic" and "unexpected". An associate professor at the University of NSW School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Dr Mant said the findings meant doctors needed to be more active in ensuring patients continued to use prescribed drugs.
"The most crucial thing a doctor can do is ask their patient to come back and see them and conduct a review," she said. "Preferably, they would do this within the two- to four-month window, which is where most people seem to drop out. Many doctors do this, but clearly many do not."
The survey results came as no surprise to Harvey Whiteford, who said it was "human nature" to resist medication once a person began to feel better. Professor Whiteford, from the School of Psychiatry at the University of Queensland, said side effects such as weight gain, high blood pressure and problems with sexual function and sleep influenced a patient's decision about persevering with antidepressants.
"Most patients are notorious for not taking medication for the full length of time it is prescribed, irrespective of their illness," he said. "If people can't complete a 10-day course of antibiotics, how are people expected to complete 18 months on antidepressants?"

"Charles Dickens," by Michael Slater (Yale University Press, $35) is due out on Nov. 30. It's a long-awaited full-sized literary biography of the amazing writer who gave us "David Copperfield," "Great Expectations," and many more memorable Victorian novels. My first brush with Dickens was purely accidental. Back when I was a kid a company in Racine, Banta, published thick little volumes called "Big Little Books." I traded three of my Batman comic books for one old and worn "Big Little Book," a condensation of "David Copperfield" studded with pictures from David O.
What is "Alternate History"? It's not reinterpretation of historical facts as we have come to understand them. That's been around for a long time. Critics who say that the world would have been better off without Churchill, that Franklin D. Roosevelt goofed in his support of Chiang Kai-Shek. There's plenty of that stuff around and has been for years. Alternate History, however, is something relatively new. I well recall the first alternate history I ever read. It was a novel. Fiction. And it opened with the appearance of U.S. President Kennedy.
If you happened to catch the recent PBS series about World War II, or even better if you missed it, you'll probably want to run out and purchase "World War II Behind Closed Doors," Laurence Rees (Pantheon, $35). Reese, winner of the British Book Award for History Book of the Year, was the producer of the PBS offering and now he's out with a companion book full of detail that didn't make it to the screen.

After graduating from Harvard, Sara Houghteling studied for her master's degree in fine arts at the University of Michigan, where she received a Fulbright Scholarship to Paris and one of Michigan's highest honors, the Avery Hopwood Award for novels. This bodes well for the young woman. Older readers may recall that Arthur Miller received a Hopwood Award when he attended Michigan several eons ago. Houghteling's novel, "Pictures at an Exposition" (Knopf, $24.95) takes as its subject the Nazi looting of art from Paris during World War II.

A Red Wing church is out $94,000 after Internet thieves apparently hacked church computers. The Church of St. Joseph, 426 West Eight St., reported to Red Wing police on March 20 that a large sum of money was taken from the church's bank account without consent. "What's more shocking than the amount is that we've been attacked by an Internet crime," said church priest Thomas Kommers. In a letter written to church members, Kommers said on March 19 the thieves used a sophisticated Internet virus to gain confidential information that was used to execute electronic money transfers.
HENDRUM, Minn. - The Red River caught this community 30 miles north of Moorhead by nasty surprise Sunday. With ice jams impeding its advance downstream, the river swelled rapidly, from the base of the 5-foot dike surrounding Hen-drum to just a few inches shy of its top. The rise - three days be-fore a projected crest of just over 40 feet - yielded a desperate call for volun-teers and a scramble to build a half mile of sandbag reinforcements.

A lonely factory worker decides to change his life, training to become a bouncer and plunging himself into the violent world of '80s clubland.
Nightclub doorman Geoff Thompson wrote his memoirs in the toilet while working at a factory. The result was the best-seller Watch My Back, and this is the semi-fictionalised film version. In early '80s England, down-on-his-luck Danny (Mel Raido) gains new confidence from martial-arts classes with Louis (an excellent Colin Salmon). Bouncer work follows, and Danny's soon immersed in a world of dangerous dealers and daily scraps. But this isn't an exercise in macho posturing: Danny's a concerned father whose narration betrays the fear behind his bravado. Performances are varied, but it overcomes its low budget with a suspenseful story, sympathetic leads and cracking '80s soundtrack.

Perpetual group executive
Brandweiner, who was group executive of income and multi-sector, joined Perpetual in 2001 and was a protégé of former chief investment officer, Emilio Gonzalez.
He was acting group executive of investments from June 2012 until January when Mr Gordon joined from BNP Paribas Investment Partners in London.
Perpetual chief executive
Mr Lloyd handpicked Mr Gordon to drive growth in the investments business, which manages $24.3 billion, including $4.7 billion in cash and fixed income.
At the group's half-year results in February, Mr Lloyd said Mr Gordon's appointment was in line with his "Transformation 2015" agenda. "A single group executive is now responsible for Perpetual Investment's end-to-end business," he said.
Previously Mr Brandweiner and former group executive of equities, Cathy Doyle, reported to the chief executive.
Few outsiders understand the Perpetual business as well as Mr Gordon, who oversaw a 10-year sub-advisory relationship with Perpetual during his time as the Australian managing director and chief investment officer of global giant, Fidelity.
From 1994 to 2004, Perpetual had the exclusive rights to distribute Fidelity's global equity funds in Australia but the end of that relationship led Perpetual to establish PI Investment Management, its own spectacularly unsuccessful global equities boutique based in Dublin, Ireland.
It closed the loss-making business in 2011 and outsourced the management of its global shares fund to Wellington Management. Traditionally, Perpetual has focused on Australian equities although in the last two years, its multi-sector and income products have been an increasing focus due to the changing demographics and changing income needs of investors.
Perpetual declined to comment.

It's a rare occasion when the chief executive of a multinational advertising network says his Australian business was so bad most clients wanted to leave.
But Ashley Farr, the new CEO of McCann, the agency which created renowned ads like "It's Time" for the Australian Labor Party in the 1970s, has done just that.
Farr was part of the management team at the independent agency Smart, which was acquired by New York-based McCann last year, and was handed the remit to resurrect the troubled international network's local operation.
He admits the company was on the nose with big-name clients and in big trouble.
It's a long way from the agency which once churned out ad campaigns such as Mortein's "Louie the Fly", Nestlé's "Milky Bar Kid" and big-hitting campaigns for Coca-Cola, but the company's new CEO admits a frightening future lay ahead unless drastic action was taken a year ago.
"There were a number of clients – in fact the vast majority of clients – that were leaving through the back door," he says. "If they couldn't, then they were making life tough. One told me verbatim if they could fire us, they would."
McCann Australia's safety net, like many multinational advertising networks, was the international contracts that headquarters had signed, locking in global brands to local market agency deals.
Although the talk from the top at a global level might be alluring to corporate clients, many multinational offices around the world have underperforming country operations.
Farr and his boss, McCann Worldgroup CEO and Smart co-founder Ben Lilley, faced a double hit. So poor was the perception of McCann Australia that big clients like Coca-Cola, which ironically was a decades-long international client of McCann before breaking from the group some years ago, were concerned that the "sleepy" culture would drown out the more entrepreneurial team from Smart.
"They were nervous that we would become that corporatised, slow-moving agency and that we'd be dwarfed by the McCann culture," Farr says. "That hasn't been the case."
The agency has started winning new business such as Lion, Google, Hitachi and Vitasoy, and winning awards – historically critical for the advertising industry.
McCann's current client list includes Holden, Microsoft Xbox, Cathay, L'Oreal and Uncle Toby's – all names which the agency was in trouble with.
"In essence, McCann had become very, very comfortable," Farr says. "It had drunk the hubris of its previous success and was navel-gazing."
But the next 12 months will determine whether the fired-up new team from Smart will keep the agency out of the ditch. They have already replaced a large number of the inherited McCann team, blown up the old culture, and are rolling out a broader suite of services.
"It's about moving McCann from being a sleeper to neutral, and now being on people's radars," Farr says.
"Ultimately this is about McCann being feared and desired. The sleepy old McCann made life easy for other agencies, but I want people to say 'f--k' when we're on a pitch list.
"We truly have a licence to excite, which the old McCanns never did. It's a great time to be in advertising. In fact, this could be the second golden age of advertising.
"At a time when people can shop anywhere at any time, brands need to become stronger than ever. In the end, the emotional connect to the brand is what people choose."

Notes from the occupied territories: Black America and the police
When the full story is finally told and, though not likely freely admitted by many, deep within the spiritual thinking of numerous African Americans, an emotional candle will be lit in memory of Lovelle Mixon, the man who, in a horrific shootout in which he was finally killed, shot five Oakland police officers, four of whom have died. They will then say to themselves, "But for the grace of God I could have been he."
Mixon, whom family and friends say was not a monster - "He didn't walk up and down the street killing people" - was by many accounts a marginally normal person in African American neighborhoods. But the truth of the matter is, Lovelle Mixon, who, police say, is suspected of an earlier killing and rape, represented the man to whom society had given almost nothing, the man of whom society expected nothing. Lovelle Mixon was America's worst nightmare: the Black man with nothing to lose.
The line between those of us who have something to lose and those of us who don't is tenuous at best. In many cases the line of separation is almost invisible. Virtually every African American has a family member or knows someone who has been to jail or prison, or remains there today. There are no economic boundaries to this truth. Is there one African American oriented church located in the Black communities that doesn't have a ministry that outreaches to the incarcerated? Likely no.
The day before the East Oakland shootout, this writer was on the phone talking to a long time friend whose husband had been released last year from Angola prison after serving 25 years. Louisiana paroled him to California where he landed a job with a CalTrans program for parolees.
Too bad Mixon, who had been trying to get a job, wasn't guided toward that program. But chances are it wouldn't have done any good.

January 07, 2013
On a cold and drizzly evening in London recently, students in the Executive MBA Program noticed something different as they filed into the campus' main lecture auditorium.
The screens at the front of the hall that usually display a professor's lecture materials showed a live shot of Kevin Murphy, George J. Stigler Distinguished Service Professor of Economics, who sat thousands of miles away in a Harper Center studio, ready to deliver his lecture, "The People Based Economy."
The hour-long lecture on the importance of human capital to economic growth inaugurated Booth's telepresence technology, essentially the latest generation of videoconferencing with superior sight and sound fidelity. The two-way hookup between Chicago and London enabled Murphy to speak to the students with the experience of nearly being face-to face.
As no Booth lecture would be complete without questions and debate, students used desk-mounted microphones to engage with Murphy. The professor listened to the questions while controlling three cameras stationed in the London auditorium to focus on the questioner and the other students in the classroom.
The lecture was a result of an investment aimed at a "new global connectivity," according to Robert Gertner, Joel F. Gemunder Professor of Strategy and Finance and deputy dean for the Part-Time Program.
The technology will enable all faculty members to extend their reach, thereby pulling Booth's global campuses closer together.
"I think it accomplished the goal," Gertner said after the lecture. "It was a way more interactive experience than listening to a web version of a presentation. The live nature makes it easier to absorb the material, and the ability to ask questions makes it closer to being live than watching a webcast. It will only get better as people get better at using it."
The next steps will include carrying out remote review sessions ahead of an exam and broadcasting sessions with other faculty and guest speakers from the Harper studio.
"This was the first use of a technology that is designed not to be a substitute for faculty being here, but as a complement and a way for us to bring more of the faculty to the students who are not in Chicago," Gertner said.
Ataf Nabli, a London-based student, said the technology recreated the classroom environment. "We were able to engage with the professor and ask questions," he said. "We knew it was at a distance, but it was a good experience."
Thomas Bridge, a Singapore-based student in London for the week, said the technology "has the excellent benefit of bringing professors for a one-hour session, which otherwise we wouldn't see, but it can't substitute for a having a professor on the campus."
Gertner said his goal was to experiment. "These types of technologies are going to continue to improve and become more and more important and useful," he said. "It will make the students here feel a closer part of the community and closer to Chicago where more, but not all of the action is."—Phil Thornton

You can say whatever you want, but the fact Bowman wanted and won by putting Lidstrom out as much as he could against Lindros. Any other story just isn't very accurate. Konstantinov did do plenty of hitting in that series and was important. I don't forget how good he was back then many people thought he was going be better than Lidstrom and was better back then. Now I never agreed but I remember it quite well. Sadly we will never know and I cannot even put him over say Chris Osgood because his career is short and that is a factor. Also if we are going to play the what if game Jiri Fischer is another interesting name that was also destine for very big things in my opinion. He didn't accomplish as much as Konstantinov but I have no doubt in my mind that Fischer was also on his way to doing some great things.
You have backed your point up with numerous references to what opinion columnists had to say at the time. Fair enough and non inflamatory, well stated.
I, however don't agree. Bowman at the time was worshiped by the media. His words were gold by Farber and co. It wasn't until the nepotism crap in Chicago that the media was allowed to question this hockey god. Farber's article is almost disturbing in the fact that Lewis and Bowman get all the credit for a 4 game sweep over the Flyers. Fedorov, Vernon and co..won a 20 game war, winning 16 to hoist the cup. ST.Louis and Colorado were not pushovers to say the least.
You do link an article that states Lidstrom was up against Lindros 60% of the time at even strength. Who was out the other 40% or most of it?
How about PK time? The Flyers had 19 pp's. Just because Lidstrom had 62 shifts vs. Lindros does not mean him and Vlad were never on the same shift. Because they were believe it or not.
I'm not going to search it out, but if you want to look up the pk ice times in the finals of Lidstrom, Murphy and Konstantinov I would be all ears.

David And Bathsheba (Part 4) - Poem by Royston Allen
Great was the passion in David the king
that drove him to do this dastardly thing.
Uriah the Hittite had now been slain
so that David his new conquest could gain.
The King of Israel was free to do
Those things that he had always wanted too
So Bathsheba became his new wife
and he was enjoying his kingly life
Time passed by and David had forgotten
his deeds so shameful and so rotten
But God remembered and saw everything
And sent Nathan the prophet to see the king
Nathan stood before king David now
and began to explain to David how
a rich man, poor man and little ewe lamb
became entangled in a dangerous game.
The rich man took everything and killed the ewe
And there was nothing the poor man could do.
David the shepherd king ranted and raved
He thought that the rich man was so depraved.
Saying "As sure as the Lord lives he should die, "
"Tell me who he is." Was the king's reply
"YOU ARE THE MAN, " Nathan the prophet said
Filling the king with foreboding and dread.
to be continued

|Joseph Tippman
|Ft. Wayne (Ind.) Bishop Dwenger
|6-6, 255
|Big, long frame. Flashed a lot of tools and we will be watching him closely over the next few years.

|Damon Payne
|Belleville (Mich.)
|6-4, 250
|To be as young as he is and perform the way he did was impressive. Is he a TE? OL? DE? DT? Could be any of them, but a special young talent.

Rider 9, Hofstra 7
College Baseball
Rider University 9, Hofstra University 7
HEMPSTEAD, NY Sophomore Matt McCollum (Tabernacle, N.J./Shawnee) had three hits, including the game-winning home run, to lead Rider to victory at Hofstra Tuesday. "If you score nine runs you should win the game," said Rider head coach Barry Davis. "We played solid defense and pitched well late in the game."
Junior Sean Olson (Vineland, N.J./St. Augustine Prep) hit two home runs, including one in the ninth inning for the final score. "Sean had some big hits," Davis said. "The first one gave us a 6-4 lead, and the second one ended up being big because Hofstra got two runners on in the ninth."
Rider (6-2) took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a two-run double by freshman Mason Heyne (Shrewsbury, Pa./Susquehannock). "Mason had a big double for us," Davis said, "giving us an early lead, and he made some nice plays at third base."
The Broncs scored three more in the second inning when sophomore Nick Wojnowski (Baldwin, Md./Calvert Hall) doubled and scored on a double by senior Jon Leise (Woodbury, N.J./West Deptford), and freshman Steve Galella (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./G.A.R. Memorial) hit a two-run single. "That was a good start," Davis said.
Heyne, Wojnowski, Leise and Galella each had two hits in the game.
Hofstra (4-7) took a 7-6 lead before Rider tied the score in the sixth inning when McCollum doubled and scored on a double by freshman John Ralston (Annandale, Va./Paul VI).
McCollum's eighth inning home run gave Rider an 8-7 lead, and Olson's second home run of the game gave Rider a 9-7 lead in the ninth.
Sophomore Kris Brown (Vineland, N.J./Vineland) pitched one and one-third innings of relief for the victory, and junior James Hayes (Sunrise, Fla./Piper) moved from right field to the mound to pitch the ninth for his second save of the season and the 17th of his career.
Rider travels to Birmingham, Alabama to play Samford in a three-game series, beginning Friday evening. "We're going on Spring Break with the best record we've had since I've been here," Davis said. "We'll travel down there with some confidence and hopefully it will carry over Friday night. Samford is pretty good, so we're looking forward to a good weekend against a good club."

Right, the point is, that is does not, if said srf-function is written in say, C. However, this is somewhat similar to the WITH LATERAL clause previously discussed in connection with UNNEST and multisets, so perhaps it's not such a bad idea after all? > > For that matter, is this behavior also intentional? > > > neilc=# select a, foo_abc2() FROM abc; > > ERROR: set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set > > CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "foo_abc2" line 1 at return next > > It's an implementation restriction in plpgsql: we didn't make it support > the old-style SRF API.
