Superb gameplay & control
Solid visuals
Unlikable story and central cast of characters
Piss poor audio
Once upon a time, the Prince of Persia series saw
its majestic protagonist through fairy tale inspired adventures.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
broke new ground last year as the Prince left his 2D roots
in a silky smooth transition to 3D. Despite the critical acclaim
the title garnered, fanfare remained modest. The prince has
returned in Ubisofts latest attempt to capture the public
eye, and this time
hes mad.
While there is something inexplicably alluring about a good-
guy-gone-bad theme, the prince's recently depleted serotonin
levels leave me more worried than anything. In short, the
stories darkened theme comes off a little over the top. The
good news is, that underneath its superficial exterior, this
title offers an extended quest and a deep new fighting system
worthy of a wrathful prince. Warrior Within remains
the dark cloud amidst its colorful successors, but it still
proves to be a worthy addition to the ongoing saga.
The change in attitude of the central character is attributed
to a story that places him in dire straits. After unleashing
the sands of time in his last adventure, the prince finds
himself tormented by a vengeful beast called Dahaka. With
Dahaka fast on his heals, the prince's impending demise is
as inevitable as the word the beast embodies, fate. This
prompts the frenetic hero to go back in time to stop the cursed
sands from being created in an attempt to undo what fate
has in store for him.
Ironically, the sands that remain the source of the prince's
anguish, also aid him in his quest to be rid of them. The
sands are collected throughout the game and allow the prince
the uncanny ability to manipulate time in his favor. This
is a continuation of last years thought-provoking concept
that proved useful in helping the player avoid an untimely
death of one sort or another. Platforming segments of the
game are not as common this time out, but still make up a
hefty chunk of the action.
With the new focus on combat, it comes as a surprise that
Warrior Within moves at a slower pace than last years
entry. The Sands of Time featured linear levels that made
for a run-and-gun style of gameplay. The latest edition features
a more open ended approach to its level design, giving it
a slightly more explorative feel. Unfortunately, the map screen
is vague and wont be much help if you happen to get lost
amidst the games large environments. The levels remain well
designed and highly interactive, allowing for the same pole-jaunting,
wall-climbing antics that made last years adventure so entertaining.
This game is clearly more battle focused than its predecessors,
and its also more difficult. You have a wide array weaponry
at your disposal. Weapons enforce a multitude of different
fighting styles that will have you stringing together combos
meant to bring terrible harm to your opposition. You will
also have the ability to either single handedly or dual wield
weapons. Single handed wielding offers less in the way of
swordsmanship, but allows for a free arm to perform various
throws or grapples. One complaint about last years attempt
was the shallow combat scenarios that became monotonous as
the game wore on. The new free-form fighting system will allow
you to construct your own combos, and unique new fighting
styles of your own creation. At some points in the game, you
may find it easier to rely on basic combat tactics. This undermines
the complexity of the games fighting engine somewhat, but
overall, youll be glad that your offensive abilities have
been upgraded. You will need to take any means necessary to
survive, because enemies come in droves, and blood baths are
sure to ensue
In terms of visuals, Warrior Within is a dramatic
departure from its lush forbear. The graphics remain on par
with last years valiant effort, but they inspire a much darker
feel. The artistically driven environments are beautifully
rendered and highly detailed. The meticulously crafted architecture
constructed within the games vast landscapes conveys a distinctly
gothic appeal. The use of dust particles and dynamic lighting
add a striking sense of atmosphere to the overall presentation.
Problems with camera still arise from time to time, and the
view point can become awkward as a result of it, but this
is just nitpicking. The frame rate is consistently impressive,
and the animation remains liquid fluid throughout the action.
Character models are now sharper, and seemingly less blocky.
Enemies are nearly as sinister in appearance as the brooding
prince himself. Right down to his cruel snarl , he has been
rid entirely of the whimsical warmth he once conveyed. In
terms of visuals, the PS2 version of the game lags slightly
behind its console competitors due to a frame rate thats
less than brisk.
It is uncommon for one aspect of a game to fall so woefully
short of the mark that it actually tarnishes an otherwise
enjoyable experience. Let the god awful noise featured in
Warrior Within be the exception. To its credit, the
game features well orchestrated ethnic tracks and ambient
melodies, but they are unfortunately brief between the shrill
segments of poorly amplified guitars. After all, nothing sets
the mood for the ancient middle east like modern day thrash-metal-sensation
Godsmack (insert: biting sarcasm). The sound effects are continually
grating, no thanks to enemies that scream out in pain like
tormented hyenas. During the cut scene segments of the game,
the voice acting is often out of sync with the cinematography,
this is most common in the Xbox version of the game. While
the dialogue is both well acted and scripted during cut scenes,
it becomes a problem during combat. The unlikable prince taunts
his opposition in battle with all of the cunning of a grade-three
bully. Listening to him spit out the same ridiculous rhetoric
over-and-over again is a head splitting experience that is
sure to unleash the Warrior Within you. For instance,
I felt like putting my fist through my television. Your best
bet is to turn down the volume...low.
Thanks to the games easy to learn controls, you will be
performing feats of death defying agility with-all-the-skill
of an acrobat in no time. Firing off explosive combinations
during the games hack & slash segments is also accomplished
with relative ease. The button sequencing that you will use
to accomplish these attacks is provided in a tutorial brought
up by your start menu. Everything is well laid out, and highly
responsive. The games user friendly controls are ingenious
in design, and allow for easy access to a deep gameplay experience.
Warrior Within is more difficult than last years
entry, and provides a lengthier quest that lasts nearly twenty
hours in duration with the added incentive of unlockables.
The open ended landscapes will offer more in the way of exploration
should you decide to revisit them. Recent additions to the
gameplay are sure to have you coming back to master each of
the deadly arts the game features. Xbox users will be privy
to the option of XBL support, but you will not be competing
with or against actual people in battle. The addition is simply
a competition to see who can amass the highest- score-posted
through various runs in a single player effort.
Warrior Within succeeds in improving on a brilliant
gameplay formula, and remains a worthy purchase for that reason.
However, it was the lovable story that truly set last years
Sands of Time apart. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within builds
on the weaknesses of its predecessor, but at the same time
falls short of its strengths. All in all, this is a great
title that offers something entirely new to a series that
didnt really need it.

Route 24 can't handle RV park traffic
The following letter was sent to the members of Sussex County Council with a copy submitted to the Cape Gazette for publication.
With the approval of the new elementary school off Route 24, the decision about voting on the nearby Love Creek RV Park should be clearer than ever. There will now be an additional 720 students travelling on a congested and already inadequate local road system twice a day. This also does not include the increase in planned additional capacity that will be added to the existing middle school. This situation means that either they will need to double the number of buses picking up and discharging students or double the time necessary to transport students using the same buses.
Since the buses will be on the road perhaps up to an hour or more each way with continual stops, that could mean that many of the buses will be in use for at least two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. If the RV park was to be approved, you could have both buses and large vehicles travelling at the same time on the same overcrowded roads which will increase the safety risks since the RV Park and the schools are located within two-and-a-half miles apart. To further clarify that, you'll have a five-month period when both the schools and RV Park operate simultaneously.
As Route 24 is only one of a few major interconnecting roads going east and west, there are very few alternative routes for people to reach the shore area and the potential for major backups is quite feasible. One only has to consider what happens when an incident on that roadway occurs, such as a recent fire or a fatal traffic accident, to see how long and how far traffic gets backed up and paralyzes the entire area.
Since the council has been deliberating on this proposal for almost a year, you must know the issues quite well. This project was not appropriate even before the new school vote, let alone now. Thus, your denying vote is crucial in determining the successful and tranquil future of this area and Sussex County. Since you voted down a similar type project in Bethany, why would anyone consider this location with all of its' negative consequences? We recognize that some of you are "pro-business oriented, but you must also be smart-business focused.
Future visitors will not tolerate gridlock and long traffic delays, but that is what will happen if you allow large numbers of oversized vehicles onto a congested road infrastructure. Additionally, the taxpaying citizens of Sussex County will be affected by suffering the daily inconveniences and consequences of an unsuitable project that will only benefit a few. The developer can always go back to the drawing board and develop the land in a more appropriate manner than inserting this campground in a non-compatible location. If the RV park was rezoned and allowed in a residential area, what would be next; a zoo or a theme park?
Finally, please listen to the majority of those that will be affected most by your decision. With all of the anticipated growth expected for this area, please work to insure that it is evaluated and conducted intelligently. Long range planning should be done well in advance and not done as an afterthought to correct costly conditions that were easily avoidable and a result of poor planning and decision making. Thank you in advance for making the right decision by voting no.

I doubt you can remove it. It will be on for 7 years then drop off, if at that time it does not then you contact the credit reporting agency. The creditors do this as they want to know if you have a history of late payments.

The official title of the home of the Danville Braves is "American Legion Post 325 Field at Dan Daniel Memorial Park". That's quite a mouthful, reminiscent of "Oriole Park at Camden Yards". But the situation here at Dan Daniel is quite different from Camden Yards, which is essentially just a baseball stadium (albeit a fantastic one in it's own right, that will likely be getting a feature in this series). The rookie league Braves affiliate's field is literally….in the middle of a park.
The park is tiny, seating only 2,588. This is actually the second highest capacity in the entire Appalachian League. I came here last August on my way to Atlanta. I wanted to stop for a night to check out some of the newly-drafted young Braves, and figured it would be worth a stop. I didn't know what I was getting into. The park feels more like a little league environment than a professional sports event, and I don't mean that in a bad way. The clientele at the game I was at (between the Braves and the Elizabethton Twins) wasn't like anything I'd ever seen before.
It seemed like all of the attendees at the game new each other, like they were all regulars. In the section I was sitting in (underneath the roof, three rows up, between home plate and the Braves dugout), all of the fans bantered with each other and talked about their families, local events, and most importantly, the game being played and the team. I sat down, not really knowing what to expect. An older woman and her friends sat next to me, and we got to talking. I got a chuckle when her first words to me were, "boy, you're a yankee, aren't you?" It felt like I was really in the south. But even despite me not being a local, the fans weren't hostile towards me. When I explained where I was from, why I was there, and what I did, the fans listened intently, and asked questions. It wasn't like anything I'd ever seen at a park before.
Now, the stadium itself. Legion Field is a tiny place. The stands only go about halfway down the lines, with no seating in the outfield. There really isn't much of an opportunity for seats in the outfield either, with various foliage dispersed throughout the outfield and a giant…hill type thing in center field. My seat, which cost a whopping $7, was ridiculously close to the action. I barely needed to use my camera's zoom to get good shots of the players in action.
Something I had only seen in luxury seats was also in effect at Danville's park: waitresses. There were a couple of team employees assigned to each section that were essentially in charge of serving the fans. They would take food and drink orders for a few people at a time, collect the money, and disappear for a few minutes to the concession stands before returning with each fan's order. It was pretty unique for a minor league stadium.
One tradition I noticed at Danville was that during the seventh inning stretch, the PA system played "Sweet Caroline", a song that has taken root in Fenway Park with the Boston Red Sox. Well here in Danville, the *entire* stadium sang along with the song. The crowd singing the song's chorus was probably the loudest they got all night. It was quite a moment.
After the game, which the Braves lost 4-0, the fans said their goodbyes to each other and me, and all went home. Danville is a very small, sleepy town, but they love their team. This was my first rookie league game, but I don't think it will be the last. There wasn't a lot to do in Danville aside from the Braves, but I'd stop in the town again for a night, just to watch the team at this old-school park again.

Boise State senior starting quarterback Joe Southwick practiced Monday and ran plays, coach Chris Petersen said.
Junior Grant Hedrick still is expected to start Saturday at San Diego State, Petersen said. Southwick will play in some role when he is healthy enough to do so, Petersen said.
"There's no doubt," Petersen said. "He'll be in the mix (when he's ready)."
Southwick broke his right ankle Oct. 19 against Nevada and had surgery Oct. 21. Petersen said at the time that Southwick would return in around five weeks. Saturday's game is the five-week mark.
Southwick had some rust Monday.
"Like he has been out for a while," Petersen said of how Southwick looked. "He's throwing the ball fine."
Here is Boise State's depth chart for this week. Not much new, but redshirt freshman tailback Devan Demas was added.
True freshman wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck will be out "for a little bit" with a badly sprained ankle, Petersen said. That was the only long-term injury in the game.
The Boise State football team's regular-season finale against New Mexico at Bronco Stadium will kick off at 8:15 p.m. Nov. 30 and air on ESPN2.
That's a big decision for Boise State. The school will receive a $500,000 TV bonus from the Mountain West. ESPN could have put the game on ESPNU, ESPNEWS or ESPN3 and the Broncos would not have received a bonus.
Because the bonus — and New Mexico's bonus — comes out of the Mountain West's TV revenue, the Broncos will receive $409,091 more in TV money that they would have if the game had not been selected for a bonus-eligible network.
Boise State negotiated the conference-wide bonus structure as part of its return to the Mountain West and will reap the most reward. Here are the total bonuses (the Mountain West championship game has a separate financial setup):
Boise State: $1.6 million
Fresno State: $1.3 million
Wyoming: $1 million
San Diego State: $800,000
San Jose State: $600,000
New Mexico: $500,000
Air Force: $300,000
Utah State: $300,000
Nevada: $300,000
Colorado State: $0
Hawaii: $0 (Hawaii does not receive any TV money from the Mountain West)
Total bonus money: $6.7 million. (Note: Teams earn $500,000 for Saturdays, $300,000 for weekdays. Only Mountain West-controlled games are eligible).
If that money had been distributed 11 ways (all but Hawaii) instead of by bonuses, each school would have received $609,090. So Boise State's benefit from the new system is $990,910.
Part of the deal was that ESPN got the rights to Boise State's home games. The network used those rights to put two games on ESPN (one was a road game at Fresno State, which it acquired in a trade for the home game vs. Nevada), two on ESPN2, one on ESPNU and one on ESPN3. ESPN was required to put three games on ESPN/ESPN2/ABC (it went one beyond) and could put two on ESPN3 (it went one under). Boise State also appeared on ESPN when it played at BYU, a game ESPN owned through its deal with BYU.
The Broncos play at 8:30 p.m. MT Saturday at San Diego State (CBS Sports Network.)
The New Mexico game will be the third straight kickoff after 8:15 p.m. If the Broncos make the Mountain West championship game, it's at 8 p.m. MT on Dec. 7.
Boise State is offering a $29 ticket deal for Thanksgiving week. The package includes tickets to the football game vs. New Mexico, the basketball doubleheader featuring the men vs. Portland State and the women vs. Idaho State (Friday, Nov. 29, at 3:30 and 6 p.m.) and the volleyball game vs. Nevada (Friday, Nov. 29, 8 p.m.). You can purchase tickets here.
The football tickets are in section 120, the upper deck at the north end of the student section.

EDMONTON - Rick Wamsley had to do a double-take.
First, the Senators goalie coach looked at Cory Clouston, then at the drawing of GUBA (the Great University Bear of Alberta) on the dressing room wall.
Wamsley wondered aloud about the resemblance, and whether the mascot was purposely designed in the image of a forward who scored 33 goals and 66 assists in 115 games for the Golden Bears, circa 1989-93.
Turns out the answer is no, and that Clare Drake Arena isnt really the House That Cory Clouston built.
No matter. That the Senators held practice there Friday did give Clouston a smile which he hasnt had much opportunity to do recently and a chance to reminisce. And a break from only answering questions about why his current club is so bad.
We had good teams, Clouston said of his playing days in the CWUAA (Canada West Universities Athletic Association), the highest level he played. And a really good bunch of guys. I keep in touch with a bunch of them still. This is where I started, in my mind, my foundation in coaching.
Coach Bill Moores was really influential. We didnt always see eye to eye, actually. We butted heads quite frequently. He taught me a lot about the things that are important in hockey. Not always about talent, its the work ethic, the commitment.
He was just a good man. A hard-working individual. Commanded and demanded respect. We gave him respect because of how intelligent he was and how he handled himself around the rink.
Teaching is what Clouston sees as a large part of his role, especially with the Senators out of playoff contention.
Ive got to make sure that our guys keep developing, he said. Give them as much experience as they can. We still try to win some hockey games. Our last two practices, the intensity was as good as it has been all season. I thought (Friday) was another great practice.
Right now, the young guys are key part of our focus. Saying that, we still have to focus on everybody else.
Cloustons Bears won many games and most they played at Clare Drake Arena.
We won a Canada West championship here against Regina, he said, warming to and welcoming the subject. Back then, I think its still the same, we only played best-of-threes and we didnt travel. So all three games were here and we had to do it in Game 3. Packed house, lots of fun.
We played good games against Calgary. They were our rival. They use to have a cheer-for-beer promotion. The loudest section would get a keg of beer, then the football team would show up with a lot of fluids in them. Have some fun, sit behind the bench.
Cloustons best day came on the a big stage.
We went to the nationals a couple of times, my best game was at the nationals, he said. The year we won the nationals, against Trois-Rivieres (in 1992), I somehow found a way to score a hat trick.
We just a really good group of guys, Clouston added. The players we had played the game because they loved the game. You are not making money here, obviously. You do get scholarships, you do get financial support.
We did have a couple of guys who ended up making the NHL Cory Cross and Ian Herbers were on defence that year most of the guys understand that their NHL dreams arent still alive. (Those times) taught you work ethic, commitment, time management.
The group of guys you are around every day have the same goals, morale and ethics you have.

That rarest commodity, a saboteur with a sense of humor, wrote the Arizona media in the second week of November 1987.
A letter claiming credit for vandalizing ski lifts at Flagstaff's Snow Bowl arrived on editors' desks from a group calling itself the Evan Mecham Eco Terrorist International Conspiracy, EMETIC (the Greek-based word that identifies an agent used to induce vomiting).
The letter writer immediately suggested reconciliation between the developers and the environmentalists.
The EMETIC representative acknowledged that there was an honest difference of opinion. The owners of the resort, the Fairfield Corporation, wished to expand and build condominiums over the objections of local Native American tribes. EMETIC wished to "chain the Fairfield CEO to a tree at the 10,000-foot level and feed him shrubs and roots until he understands the suicidal folly of treating the planet primarily as a tool for making money."
More to the letter writer's point, winter was approaching.
"It is colder than a Bruce Babbitt speech crawling around that mountain at night," wrote the correspondent, "and all of us would prefer to return to our usual nocturnal diversion of pursuing meaningless relationships in sleazy, but warm, bars."
The representative of EMETIC proposed detente. Fairfield should stop its plans for growth and "consult with appropriate spiritual authorities on the Navajo and Hopi reservations and agree not to operate at all on the days of greatest religious significance . . . if our compromise is accepted Fairfield should place a small ad in the classified personals [saying] `Uncle!' Otherwise, better hire more security."
The owners of the Snow Bowl, after consulting with the appropriate spiritual authorities at a major corporate law firm, offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those in EMETIC.
From this seemingly isolated incident in northern Arizona sprang an FBI investigation that rocked America's most notorious environmental organization, Earth First!.
In the courthouse that overlooks Prescott's historic town square, the federal government of the United States is determined to crush what it characterizes as a nationwide conspiracy of violent environmentalists.
Indicted are the co-founder of Earth First!, Tucson's Dave Foreman, and four Prescott residents: Mark Davis, Margaret (Peg) Millett, Ilse Asplund, and Marc Andre Baker.
The government charges that these five are terrorists who plotted to sabotage the largest nuclear power plant in America, Arizona Public Service Company's Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, just west of Phoenix. It is also alleged that Diablo Canyon, a nuke plant in California, as well as the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons facility in Colorado were on the Earth First! hit list. Prosecution by the U.S. Attorney commences June 10.
The indictment and thousands of pages of government records reveal the sensational components of the upcoming trial: sabotage, an FBI agent's pose as the damaged, yet sensitive, offspring of a dysfunctional family, LSD, snitches, thermite grenades, the long-lens photography of surreptitious meetings, marijuana, surveillance, love triangles, wiretaps, spiritual guides, body bugs, Joseph Wambaugh theories, cutting torches, Evan Mecham, dynamite, massage and ghosts.
Even this unwieldy list must be expanded to include the subversive element of laughter.
The indictment, you see, neglects to mention that Earth First! was most dangerous when it insisted that acts of environmental civil disobedience be salted with outlandish humor and sarcasm.
Earth First! ridiculed big business, satirized the polluters of Mother Earth, and hooted at the government.
The government's funny bone, however, proved to be more sensitive than ticklish. The feds reached a point where they'd had all the mockery from Dave Foreman and his ilk that they were going to take. It got to the point that every time you turned around, Foreman and his gang were razzing the pants off somebody.
When the government and the University of Arizona involved private companies and the Vatican in the construction of giant telescopes atop Mount Graham in southeastern Arizona, Earth First! organizers showed up at public hearings dressed as six-foot-tall creatures of the forest to argue the case for an endangered red squirrel who lived in the path of big-buck astronomy.
While mainstream environmentalists lobbied Congress, members of Earth First! suspended themselves in giant fir trees hundreds of feet in the air, squatting atop homemade platforms that looked like something God might jury-rig had God wanted to window-wash the clouds. Earth First! banners from these spectacular perches raised hell over the clear-cutting practices of timber barons.
When more responsible environmentalists spoke out on behalf of the Pacific Northwest's nearly extinct spotted owl, followers of Earth First! took more direct action. They dug post holes in the wilderness roads, poured quick-drying cement in the pits, and then jumped into the jelling muck up to their knees. As the cement dried, the activists became human fence posts blocking the roads while the television cameras rolled. Newsreel tapes showed overweight deputies and brawny lumberjacks confronting a pack of what appeared to be refugees from a Grateful Dead concert, all of whom seemed, at first glance, to have their goddamned legs cut off--or, were they imbedded in the road? Total pandemonium erupted.
Anyone tuning in the evening news and seeing these images had to ask themselves, "What the hell are these hippies up to now?"
Such sneering bravado from Earth First! appealed to streetwise people who didn't care for the globally warming world they lived in but who had no use for the Birkenstock-wearing and Volvo-driving members of the Sierra Club either. The smart-alecky defiance of Earth First! appealed to the guy on the stool at the end of the bar, the out-of-work carpenter whose tee shirt shows a hawk diving steeply with its deadly talons outstretched, about to snatch a mouse, a mouse who, even in this extreme situation, has raised its rodent fist and extended the middle finger in final and fatal salute.
What made Earth First! ominous was that landfill operators, ranchers on public lands, bureaucrats, toxic-waste generators and big-business CEOs were now confronted by an entirely different breed of environmentalist, green-power freaks who had no respect for lawsuits or silk suits. Some of these activists were thoughtful and some just flat wanted to destroy something.
Earth First!'s puissant refusal to knuckle under to progress, its willingness to punch back and smirk, was also seductive to serious environmentalists who dreamed of a simpler, cleaner countryside and who lusted for a good belly laugh to boot.
Of course, all humor, even environmental humor, has its dark side.
With Earth First!, the moodier aspect of its jibes took the form of vandalism, or as it is known in greener circles, monkey-wrenching.
Earth First! has never been shy about its belief in selective property damage. Dave Foreman even published a field manual that outlined a number of creative ways to decommission a bulldozer or to delay development by uprooting surveyors' stakes.
Not that any of these costly and destructive acts could actually stop a major project. But the very idea of being able to read all of Foreman's hyperventilated suggestions--my God, it was an outraged environmentalist's equivalent of reading Playboy magazine. You couldn't help but fantasize.
Some people's pornographic fantasies, of course, are wilder than others'. Mark Davis, for instance, had a dream as audacious as it was singular.
Although Mark Davis was indicted for the costly EMETIC prank in Flagstaff as well as some monkey- wrenching of a uranium mine at the Grand Canyon, nuclear power is his Moby Dick.
He wanted to humiliate the nuclear-energy industry by cutting down its power lines.
That was the big-picture fantasy.
The small-picture reality was that Mark Davis was too untethered to Planet Earth, too poor and probably too guileless to sabotage a nuke plant.
The FBI's agents had to put the deal together for Mark Davis, and because their real target was Dave Foreman, the feds had to link these two.
An FBI agent who had infiltrated Davis' circle encouraged the use of the co-founder of Earth First! as a possible source of cash. The same agent then drove Mark Davis to the Tucson residence of Dave Foreman to get the money. Davis returned to the FBI truck with approximately $500 in cash in an envelope. Not exactly a war chest but certainly more than spare change.
Upon their return to Prescott, Davis spaced out the envelope, leaving it in FBI agent Mike Fain's glove compartment.
When Davis finally remembered to retrieve this envelope, he promptly turned the cash over to a second FBI operative, giving him the entire $500. This FBI plant, Ron Frazier, had nurtured Davis' fantasy of toppling nuclear-power transmission lines. Frazier fed the dream by claiming that he could actually supply Davis with the forbidden fruit, thermite grenades. Frazier, who had access to nothing more incendiary than his imagination, took the $500 and then took a powder.
With no operating funds and no cash evidence tied directly to Dave Foreman, FBI agent Fain dashed back to Tucson, where he conferred with Earth First!'s co-founder again, went to the group's yard sale and finally picked up $100 more from a colleague of Foreman's.
Rushing back to Mark Davis in Prescott, the FBI agent gave him the cash.
Still, problems persisted if the FBI's terrorists were actually going to attack a nuclear-plant transmission line.
Mark Davis had no car.
The FBI agent agreed to use his vehicle. He also volunteered to be the driver who took the group to the target.
Mark Davis had no gas.
The FBI agent agreed to supply the fuel.
With the sort of diligent effort one likes to see in a federal official, the FBI agent was finally able to help Mark Davis realize one of his fantasies.
On May 30, 1988, Special Agent Michael Fain, posing as environmental provocateur Mike Tait, ferried three Prescott Earth First! supporters out to a remote power line in western Arizona. As Davis fired up his cutting torch, law enforcement officials swept in.
As it turned out, the power line was not connected to a nuclear plant.
Davis had wanted to practice on Central Arizona Project transmission lines used in the state's water-transfer system before tackling the white whale of nuclear power.
FBI agent Fain was so alarmed by this plan to hit anything other than a nuke plant that on his last trip to Tucson he tried to get Foreman to pressure Davis into forgetting about the CAP and to go after the big enchilada, the Palo Verde generating station.
The FBI apparently wanted to tie Davis and Foreman to each other and to a violent act directed at America's nuclear power industry. Obviously the headlines from sabotage linked in the reader's mind to nuclear meltdowns would be much more convincing than publicity regarding monkey-wrenching of something as mundane as water canals. The public-relations bonanza of radioactive terrorism was incalculable to the FBI's goal of eliminating Dave Foreman and Earth First!.
And that was, and is, the government's goal, if you can believe Special Agent Mike Tait.
On his final visit to Foreman, FBI agent Tait accidentally tape-recorded a conversation between himself and another agent. After picking up the $100 at the Earth First! yard sale, the two federal officers talked:
Tait: "In actuality we really ought to give [Earth First!] their money back when it's over because they don't really say what it's for. They are low-budget. I don't really really look for them to be doing a lot of hurting people, it's just that they get a few guys like this that'll . . . like Davis . . . "
Second agent: "Who freelance."
Tait: "Yeah. That's what it is, see, and . . . 'cause this [Foreman] really isn't the guy we need to pop, I mean, in terms of actual perpetrator. But this [Foreman] is the guy we need to pop to send the message and that's all we're really doin' and if we don't nail this guy [Foreman] and we don't get Davis, we're not sending any message. In the Rendezvous [the annual gathering of Earth First! followers] last year, he [Foreman] said somebody ought to be prepared to give his life this year and somebody ought to be prepared to do hard time."
Second agent: "Oh, really?"
Tait: "Yeah."
Second agent: "[Inaudible]."
Tait: "These people are dedicated. They just don't have any money. That is why the yard sale to help put together their legal defense. Unless it's done for nothing . . . it's the old Sixties stuff."
Second agent: "Do they have a beef right now that they need a defense fund . . . ?"
Tait: "They are always doing civil disobedience, getting arrested, so they need that and they have what they call their direct-action fund where . . . they are always giving money to this and their direct-action fund is for illegal activities."
Then Tait considers what he's shared with the other agent and adds, "We don't need that on the tape . . . oh boy."
But it is on tape. You bust Foreman, you bust Davis, you send a message. What is the message?
It will take several months in court to dope out the final answer, but in the meantime one signal is abundantly clear: If you think the twentieth anniversary of Earth Day called for something more meaningful than musical tie-ins on MTV, if you are alarmed over the increasing levels of radioactive waste, you'd better confine your anger to letter-writing campaigns.

A PIECE of Wearside's shipbuilding past is to be auctioned.
The lot, made up of a bronze engine plaque from the Wear Hopper No 1 and an enamel "Code of Shaft Signals" sign, is expected to go for between £200 and £300 next month.
Anderson and Garland auctioneers' valuer Fred Wyrley-Birch said it was an unusual item.
He added: "With a rich history of maritime shipbuilding in the area, we get quite a lot of these.
"But a plaque like this, being in such good condition, we only come across every 10 years or so. It's quite nice to get something with so much information on it."
For the last 10 years the plaque has been in the hands of Judith Sunter, 62, of Stanley, County Durham.
Mrs Sunter bought the items for her late husband James, who died six years ago.
She said: "My husband had an interest in all things local.
"I can't remember how much I paid for it, but it won't have been much – it was an impulse thing.
"For the past few years I had it in the porch and it was a bit of a talking point for people who saw it."
Mrs Sunter is now selling the historical piece as part of a house clearout.
"It's something I haven't got a connection to, but it may be if interest to someone else," she added. The 402-tonne Wear Hopper No 1 was built in 1924 by Thompson and Sons, of Sunderland.
The lot will go under the hammer at Anderson and Garland's Fine Arts & Antiques Sale on Tuesday, in Westerhope, Newcastle.

Occupational Safety Training of Catawba Valley Community College
It is extremely important to use personal protective equipment and work practice controls to protect yourself from bloodborne pathogens.
"Universal Precautions" is the name used to describe a prevention strategy in which all blood and potentially infectious materials are treated as if they are, in fact, infectious, regardless of the perceived status of the source individual. In other words, whether or not you think the blood/body fluid is infected with bloodborne pathogens, you treat it as if it is. This approach is used in all situations where exposure to blood or potentially infectious materials is possible. This also means that certain engineering and work practice controls shall always be utilized in situations where exposure may occur.
Universal precautions are intended to supplement rather than replace recommendations for routine infection control. Routine infection control includes practices such as frequent thorough hand washing. Because specifying the types of barriers needed for every possible clinical or housekeeping situation is impractical, common sense and shall be exercised by all employees when accomplishing their daily tasks.
Probably the first thing to do in any situation where you may be exposed to bloodborne pathogens is to ensure you are wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). For example, you may have noticed that emergency medical personnel, doctors, nurses, dentists, dental assistants, and other health care professionals always wear latex or protective gloves. This is a simple precaution they take in order to prevent blood or potentially infectious body fluids from coming in contact with their skin. To protect yourself, it is essential to have a barrier between you and the potentially infectious material.
Catawba Valley Community College shall provide appropriate PPE for use by Category I and Category II employees (exposure risks). PPE and Body Fluid Spill Kits shall be located in all Janitorial Closets and in most departments.
Rules to follow:
If you work in an area with routine exposure to blood or potentially infectious materials, the necessary PPE should be readily accessible. Contaminated gloves, clothing, PPE, or other materials should be placed in appropriately labeled bags or containers until it is disposed of, decontaminated, or laundered. It is important to find out where these bags or containers are located in your area before beginning your work.

Poland syndrome facts
- Poland syndrome is a congenital malformation affecting the chest muscle and hand on one side of the body.
- The cause of Poland syndrome is not yet certain.
- The main chest muscle (the pectoralis major) is absent.
- The fingers are webbed on the same side of the body.
- In girls, the breast on that side may be absent.
- Treatment includes reconstructive surgery and possibly implantation of bioengineered tissue.
What is Poland syndrome?
First described by the 19th-century British anatomist Sir Alfred Poland, Poland syndrome is a unique pattern of one-sided malformations that are present at birth (congenital malformations). Poland syndrome is noted for the underdevelopment or absence of the chest (pectoralis) muscles on one side of the body as well as webbing of the fingers (cutaneous syndactyly) on the hand of the same side (ipsilateral side) of the body.
Can Poland syndrome affect either side of the body?
Yes. For reasons not understood, Poland syndrome is twice as likely to involve the right side of the body.
How frequent is Poland syndrome?
The severity of Poland syndrome is variable, and it is possible for mild cases not to be evident until puberty when breast tissue and chest muscle mass development become more obvious. It is felt, therefore, that cases may be misdiagnosed and underreported. Experts currently are reporting an incidence of one in 10,000 to one in 100,000 live births. For reasons unknown, boys are more likely than girls to have Poland syndrome.
What causes Poland syndrome?
The cause of Poland syndrome is not known. The disorder is currently considered "a nonspecific developmental field defect" occurring at about the sixth week of fetal development. Diminished blood flow through the subclavian artery that supplies blood to the arm has been blamed, but final proof for this idea is lacking. Speculation has involved two hypotheses. One proposes that the underlying ribs on the affected side grow too quickly in a forward growth plane and thus reduce the flow of blood in the arteries leading to the overlying pectoralis muscle and arm on the affected side. Another proposal is that a malformation of the embryonic blood vessel serving the pectoralis muscle and arm/hand on that side of the body limits blood flow to these structures. To date no animal research has provided conclusive support for these proposals.

I mostly cover municipal fire departments in this column, but I occasionally seek out a different kind of apparatus user. There are many fire training academies that aren't run by fire departments. Some are run by counties, or in the case of this month's column, state universities.
The Louisiana State University (LSU) Fire and Emergency Training Institute (originally the LSU Firemen Training Program) was created in 1963 by Louisiana Legislative Act 84 to equip, operate and maintain an in-service firefighter training program. Act 32, passed in 1970, gave the training program one-fourth of 1% of all fire insurance monies paid in the state to be used for training and facilities. In 1979, Act 528 stated that LSU was officially designated as the state agency to conduct training on a statewide basis.
A Long-Term Partnership
In 1972, the training institute moved to its own facility 6 miles south of the main university campus in Baton Rouge. It operates on 80 acres of land at this location, as well as at a second campus opened in 2007 in Minden, La.
Those locations have been a strong factor in apparatus purchasing decisions. "We've been with Ferrara for a number of years, even before they opened their large factory in Holden, La.," says Christopher Browning, assistant director of the institute. "Purchasing from Ferrara is really convenient for us. Their factory is just 40 miles away, which enables us to visit and see our vehicles being constructed. It also makes maintenance easy."
The institute doesn't have to go out for competitive bidding for any of its vehicles. "Ferrara is listed on a State Manufactured Product list, so we can purchase that way, as well as pick certain options that are listed," Browning says. "For our Ferrara purchases, we deal directly with the factory. They have been receptive to our designs and are customer-oriented; they work with you. We have not had any major issues with any of the four Ferrara vehicles we own, and that's another major reason for our repeat purchases."
Getting Noticed
All of the institute's vehicles are required to be available for and respond to any major disaster throughout Louisiana. "We were the first outside agency to respond into New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and operated for 3 days in the city," Browning says.
In addition, the institute needs apparatus to operate at various on-site training scenarios. "Our budget enables us to have an apparatus replacement program," Browning says. "We try to keep our pumpers 5 years and ladder trucks 10 years. But the recent economic situation will require us to keep the apparatus for a longer period."
For its latest purchase, a rescue pumper, the institute came up with the idea of painting the vehicle in the LSU Tiger football team colors and stripes, as a marketing tool for the university. "The apparatus is used in funerals and various parades around the state," Browning says. "The rigs get a great reception from the local community, students and other people all over the state. We even have an external CD audio system with outdoor speakers that play the LSU Tiger fight song."
But the improvements go deeper than the surface. "Since our last Ferrara purchase in 2004, we made some changes to the pumper specs," Browning says. "The newer engine is used for our rookie academy at the institute, so we wanted it to have all of the new technology available, and carry more equipment. On this vehicle we have larger compartments, 12-V brow lights instead of a light tower—even though it has a generator on it—and a GiMax 1.7 foam system. The interior has a sprayed-on liner for better durability."
During the latest build, members of the institute visited the factory several times. "We made some changes during construction so the engine would be more productive for us," Browning says. "Ferrara was receptive to all of the changes we made and has helped us along the way to make sure that we were satisfied after we took delivery of the unit."
Points to Note
Not every fire department has the luxury of having a fire apparatus manufacturer nearby. If you don't, make sure there's a local dealer with a shop for in-warranty repairs. If you're satisfied with their apparatus, standardizing with one manufacturer can save money and time on training, parts and familiarity.
Also, look into whether your state has a direct purchasing program. You can save time by purchasing direct if the manufacturer is already on the state list. The LSU Fire and Emergency Training Institute benefited by this means of purchasing.
Finally, do your homework before you spec out a vehicle. Check out all of the manufacturers and what they have to offer, and check out some of the factories if time and budget permit. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run.
Even though the institute's vehicles don't respond on a daily basis to emergencies, they have the potential for being used at major disasters around Louisiana. This dual purpose means the state and the institute are getting the most out of their vehicles.

Great Tips for Increasing Student Motivation and Attentiveness!
I believe that all successful businesses, and school systems, are always looking for ways to be creative and improve their business or organization. Great ideas grow into systematic change when the leadership at each site is willing to listen to; research data, philosophical concepts, emotions, the latest in technological approaches, and every once in awhile a "dream" that has no data attached to it! When hiring for leadership positions it is important to have individuals who have; strong work ethic, great communication skills, depth in educational knowledge, and a caring approach to everyone that they come into contact with. It is also extremely important to have leadership that is flexible and willing to try ideas that go against the norm and require some patience and understanding.

Over the past several years we have had some of our staff transition to Standing Desks or Workstations, use walking paths during the school work day, and on-site yoga and Pilates classes starting at 3:20 p.m. There can be a negative public perception centering around walking paths and workout classes on-site. Leaders have to be able to withstand that negative public perception and accept the fact that more staff will physically work out if the workouts are of convenience and they are with a positive group of peers. If employees want to go for a 30 minute brisk walk during the middle of the day, either around a break time or lunch time, that should be encouraged and the public will soon recognize the increased enthusiasm and job performance of those employees. We encourage our community to use our indoor walking path at Hastings High School, why would we not do the same for our employees?
A few years ago some of our teachers incorporated Stability Ball Chairs" into their classrooms. I was very skeptical when this decision was made. As a former elementary teacher, I could only imagine the number of times that students would be bumping into other students, falling off of their stability balls, or knocking their work off of their desktops. The stability balls have proven to be beneficial for not only students who had some excess energy to burn off, but they have also been beneficial as motivating some students to stay focused on their work. Students love their stability ball chair and do not want to lose the privilege of using it during the school day.
Over the past four years, several schools in our area have incorporated what I will label as, "Physically Active Learning Centers." Teachers can take their students into these rooms during reading or math time and the students are engaged in specific activities that require both mental and physical activities at the same time. Some of these activities could also be accomplished in the regular classroom setting, but it is safer in the Active Learning Center. There is research that indicates some students who have reading weaknesses, will improve in their reading skills when combining physical activity with academic repetition.
The main point of this blog is to emphasize that any of the above mentioned changes can only take place with flexibility from the leadership position. All staff will dream and incorporate positive physical activities into the school day if they know that their site leadership is open to new ideas and are flexible.

Simple Tips for Getting Your Superintendent On Board!
Need to get your Superintendent on board?
Superintendent, Tim Collins, shares his tips and suggestions for gaining support below!
There are several key factors that will force a Superintendent to consider funding or helping to fund a program or initiative. There are many small factors that help influence and foster the potential for financial support or adjustments and flexibility to make sure that the program has the potential for growth:
- Data driven research.
- Matching funds from a booster program.
- Donated community labor.
- A commitment to work ethic that goes above and beyond normal.
- Assistance from Special Ed Programming.
- The ability to sustain the program long term.
There is no single factor that weighs more heavily than the other. The need and growth of programs is dependent upon a variety of variables, so it is impossible to state that one of the above factors is more important than the other.
If a program needs financial support, for personnel or capital needs, then there is no question that matching funds, or a financial contribution from an outside source, is a major factor in helping to influence a Superintendent. A Superintendent understands the political ramifications of saying, "No thank you" to a business, booster club, or individual who wants to contribute financially to a school program. In our personal lives, we would all work hard to find a hundred dollars, if we knew that our Mom or Dad was going to give us a hundred dollar match. This reality is true for a Superintendent as well.
There are many small business owners, in every community, that have the potential to donate in-kind labor to a variety of school district programs and projects.
- Can a superintendent say no, if the Basketball Boosters volunteer to do the cement work, and erect basketball hoops, on every elementary playground in the district? The district's obligation is to pay for the hoops and the cement.
- Can a superintendent say no if the Softball Association will level all infields and build dugouts on every field in the district? The district's obligation is to purchase the materials.
- Can a superintendent say no if the Tennis Boosters are willing to pay for two extra tennis courts at the time the district is reinvesting in their tennis courts? In return the district has to allow the association to have practice and summer tournaments on the district's courts.
There is no question that the school district needs to make sure that the donated labor is skilled labor and has certified insurance. The district needs to protect for current and future liability. This level of donated labor, on these specific projects, allows the district to then spend their fund balance on other projects district wide.
The power of receiving cash contributions or in-kind labor is contagious and repetitive. When other businesses see the power of their colleagues' contributions, they ask what they can do. Typically, individuals who donate their time or money once, will typically do it again down the road.
If you need support from your Superintendent, make sure you are able to have one or more of the key factors outlined in this writing.

Community Relations to Improve Physical Activity
Are you looking for new ways to improve physical activity in your school? Check out a few tips from Hastings School District Superintendent, Tim Collins here!
The ability to get community involvement, in any of your school programs, centers around clear and concise communication with a variety of stakeholders in the community. There has to be a feeling from the community that the school district wants, encourages, and welcomes the opportunity for organizations to get involved and have a voice on some of the activities that students, staff and families can participate in. This level of direct communication fosters and builds energy from many resources in the community; athletic boosters, foundations, county and medical resources, and businesses within the community.
These photos show some of the activities that took place during the months of June and July in the Hastings School District. This level of activity takes place in many schools throughout the State of Minnesota. We have outstanding participation due to the good fortune of having many of our teachers, coaches, and counselors directly involved with the youth of our communities during the summer months. When our parents and students have a positive experience within our facilities, and with many of our staff members, the community then wants to support even more physically active programs in our schools. The Booster Clubs, specifically, reach out and want to make financial contributions to strengthen our workout center and cardiovascular initiatives. The Athletic Boosters understand that we want to host youth; basketball, volleyball, hockey, soccer and wrestling tournaments. As a school district we attempt to keep the costs as low as possible for these organizations because we understand that for every dollar they raise, those dollars go right back into our athletic programs and workout equipment!
That same sense of welcoming outside organizations into our schools goes beyond athletics. Both Dakota County Health and Human Services and the Local Y have been instrumental in administering health related services to all of our employees. This collaborative is through health screening initiatives or flu shots, available right on site, to free trial memberships with our local Y partner. A wellness program for our employees is always stronger and more effective when we can bring the services right to our employees on school grounds.
The Hastings Public Schools Foundation is an example of having the ability to bring foundation board members, on site, to help deliver grants to our teaching staff. When those board members saw our zero hour physical education classes taking place at 7:00 a.m. they recognized the importance of awarding educational grants to our Health and PE classes as well. Since that time, our PE classes have benefited by receiving heart rate monitors and iPads to increase personal health and fitness. In future years, the Foundation will be a strong supporter of other initiatives related to health and fitness at all of our educational sites.
Our buildings are open from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. almost every day of the year. We want organizations and community members coming into our buildings. If individuals, and organizations, feel that we have gone out of our way to welcome them, then they will financially support our programs for years to come.

Zero Hour Physical Education
Five years ago, the coaches, physical education teachers and administration, pulled together to discuss what improvements could be made for our students at Hastings High School. An anonymous survey was conducted and it was very obvious that the students wanted a challenging, and comprehensive workout, which challenged them physically, mentally and emotionally. It was at that point that SPARQ was created and students have to be ready to go by 7:00 AM. Think back to the time when you were seventeen years old – would you want to leave home by 6:15 AM in order to get to the high school to work out by 7:00 AM?
The SPARQ course uses diverse training components to improve a student's speed, power, agility, reaction and quickness. The course is directed towards students who want to take fitness to the next level. Students can work out for more than 45 minutes as the class has a start time of 7:00 AM. The student is then able to shower and have a quick breakfast prior to the start of their second hour class. The class is offered three mornings a week which then allows the student to sleep in, or have extra study time, the other two days out of the week.
Our student athletes gravitate towards this course because it allows them to have an intense workout and they can work on specific skills during their athletic team practice at the end of the day. The rest of our student body is drawn to the class because of the engaging teaching staff, the motivation, and bonding that occurs at the very start of the day. One of our students has lost over 100 pounds during the four semesters of participation. There are many students now gravitating towards SPARQ because they hear other students talking about it. When you participate in SPARQ you become part of the SPARQ team. There is no question, that just like other teams, there is a bond that occurs when you sweat, fail, succeed, push yourself and others around you to reach new goals. The program helps to improve your mind set, inner strength and motivation as you begin each and every day.
The number of students signing up for SPARQ continues to increase annually. We now have an all-female SPARQ class and they are reaching an intensity level that we could not have seen before. All students in the program are challenged, at a high level of intensity, by our instructors. There are many times that a student will be told what they need to hear rather than being told what they want to hear. There is no question that the students are responding to the challenge.
A program, like SPARQ, is successful because of the high energy and positive staff engaging the students! It also takes high school administration, and coaches, who support the concept and are willing to encourage students to participate. When you have the above ingredients, it makes a prefect recipe for success.
Our SPARQ students come out of the program, on a daily basis, with high energy and a positive approach to start the day. Their self-esteem is improved and they understand the concept that you will never have any regrets if you challenge yourself and put in a lot of hard work. All of the students fully understand that pushing yourself mentally, and physically, is something that they need to do for the rest of their lives.
Simply put, this program should be replicated in every high school across America.

How long did it take your baby to go from crawling to walking?
- 9 Replies
About 3 weeks. We had all tile floor and he didn't like how it felt to crawl on it so he started holding on to the walls and furniture to get around the living room. He stopped doing that after about a month and he just started walking on his own. At his 9 month apt the dr asked what he could do we said he could walk. She argued up and down that he was not walking, that he was only taking steps if we were holding his hands, or using walls to support himself. We put him on the floor and he walked all around the room. She looked up at us her eyes were huge, she practically screamed "Hes walking!" DH and I just said we know that is what we were trying to tell you
My daughter army crawled at 7 months, hands and knees crawled at 9 months. First independent steps at 11 months, full on walking (no more crawling at all) at 14 months.
My son NEVER crawled. He only scooted on his butt at 13 months. He took independent steps at 13 months and full on walked (again, no more other modes of mobility) also at 14 months.
Quoting Anonymous:
I had a normal baby not a hybrid :-) My baby got on hands and knees and rocked at 7 months exactly, crawled at 8 months exactly. Didn't walk til about 14 months. We were happy with all of that.
5 days for youngest son.
several months for my eldest daughter.
Quoting Anonymous:
DS crawled @ 5 1/2 months. He'll be 1 in two weeks & takes a few steps here & there. But I'm in no rush for him to full blown walk lol I'm enjoying every second he's crawling.
Enjoy it while you can.

After tonight, the only thing we're willing to bet on as awards season progresses is more accolades for The Artist.
That is inevitable.
But as predictable as the Emmys were in September (Mad Men and Modern Family, again?!), that's how oddball some of the choices made at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards seemed. We'd give you more of an intro, but we have to coax our eyebrows out of their über-critical arches before the weekday grind starts again.
So, here are five moments that knocked us for a loop:
1. How You Doin'?!: Did you think you were going to see the day when Matt LeBlanc got by without a little help from his Friends? Seemingly doomed-to-Joey-purgatory, LeBlanc rose above his rep and won for Best Actor in a Series, Comedy or Musical, for playing a premium-cable version of himself (i.e., neurotic, crass, practically intolerable, bitingly funny) on Episodes. Interestingly, Lisa Kudrow is also doing her best work in ages on Showtime, in Web Therapy. Snubbed for The Comeback, perhaps the erstwhile Phoebe Buffet will be the one hoisting a Globe next year.
Paul Drinkwater/NBC
2. He's the Boss: And you thought Mad Men was one of the least-watched award winners around! If ever you needed a reminder that the Hollywood Foreign Press is not one of us, Kelsey Grammer, a two-time Golden Globe winner and five-time Emmy winner for pure comedy, won his first Best Actor in a Series, Drama, trophy for playing a real son-of-a-bitch on Boss. Having already renewed the gloomy political drama for a second season, this could be a real feather in Starz's cap, which is slowly joining the kinda-worth-subscribing-to club with series like the late, great Party Down and Spartacus: Vengeance. Or, Starz could net as many new viewers as Reelz Channel did when The Kennedys won all those Emmys. (Oh, and is Enlightened, the dark HBO comedy that Laura Dern won Best Actress in a Series, Comedy or Musical for, even good? We don't know anyone who watches that, either.)
3. Not-So-Tricky-Ricky: Ricky Gervais was funny, no doubt about it, but... Compared to the Molotov comedy cocktail he threw at the unsuspecting crowd at last year's ceremony, the talented-but-reined-in Brit proved that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Surely the onetime Globe winner had his marching orders (incite but don't incinerate), and subsequently all shock value went out the window. Fashion Police cohost Kelly Osbourne agreed, tweeting, "Shocked at how well behaved ricky gervais was tonight i know its bad but i really wanted him to be more like last year it was brilliant!"
4. Iron Lady, Brass Balls: Meryl Streep got as many bleeps as Ricky Gervais, who noted at one point that he didn't understand "a f--king thing" that presenters Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas said. At first we just thought our satellite was crapping out, but awards season's reigning Earth Mother said the S-word while accepting Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, for The Iron Lady. Funny, we didn't see Melissa Leo pass some sort of profanity-bomb baton to Streep last year...

5. Brangelina Denied! The HFP didn't play Moneyball or give Honey any sugar. True, the Golden Globes doesn't differentiate between adapted and original screenplays, so Woody Allen's win for Midnight in Paris doesn't mean curtains for Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian's Moneyball at the WGA Awards and ahem, Academy Awards. But the HFP got Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie invested in tonight's proceedings—and didn't reward either one of them for their efforts! Though we (and Ricky Gervais) know how the HFP loves its A-listers, the buck apparently stopped this year at a Best Foreign Language Film nomination for Jolie's In the Land of Blood and Honey, which guaranteed a super-serious, somewhat dour showing on the red carpet. Hey, they had to make sure she came, right?! And we also thought it might finally be Pitt's year in the lead-actor category, but the Globe went to his real other half, George Clooney. Then again, producers got Jolie to present Best Director, Pitt to introduce Clooney's film and Clooney (toting a cane, no less) to introduce Pitt's, so it was a win-win for us, at least.

Post-Election Reflections. I
The Inharmonious Quartet.
A similar phenomenon appears to happen in the social/cultural lives of some Americans who live in certain regions of the country. On admittedly thin personal experience, there appears to exist a link between bigotry, fierce nationalism, guns and religion. We all remember Obama's now infamous remark about people "clinging to guns and religion", a remark that first Hilary Clinton, then Sarah Palin attempted unsuccessfully to use to political advantage. In the heat of the political campaign it was impossible to discuss this issue rationally.
I have three questions:
1) Is there really a linkage between bigotry (racism), fierce nationalism, love of guns and religion in America or is this a misrepresentation pushed by the media?
2) If a linkage truly exists, what, from the historical standpoint, is the basis of this linkage?
3) Finally, why is this linkage supposedly concentrated in certain regions of the country?
The most disquieting component of this inharmonious quartet, for me, is religion. How did religion or, for that matter, Christianity come to keep company with such sorry bedfellows?
Are we quickly--because of the poor testimony of a vocal fringe--in danger of becoming salt devoid of saltiness? If so, are we--the larger body--about to be discarded with the rest? We, who know what the Scriptures declare, of necessity and of alarm, need to avoid such a fate for the larger Christian body by boldly speaking about these issues and by challenging the standard but misguided orthodoxy of the "religious right". It has been pointed out that Jesus reserved his harshest words for Pharisees. Perhaps, it is because we need to be most vigilant about those misguided doctrines that are closest to the truth. These, unlike those that are patently false (e.g., the teachings of the Sadducees), have the power to do the greatest amount of harm to the truth of the Gospel. - Gaius Dissentus.

Train your intuition to make it better!
We learn to walk, talk, read, sing, dance, and everything else no matter how talented we are.
But what about our intuition - is it a gift from the sky or can we learn to use it through simple steps like we did with all our abilities?
Every part of our body including our brain reacts positively on practice and learning. If we are talking about decision making there is no other part of our existence that is more important than our intuition. Sooner or later every person has to make the decision out of nothing so maybe guessing colors can be important to find out the inner feeling and build the feeling up.
This game can help you to discover your own feeling and unique perception which you can sense as the answer to the right or wrong answer.
Learning your feelings before and after every decision in the game, you are in position to receive your inner perception and learn the way how to bring it to your conscious level whenever you need it.

Assistant Attorney General Frank W. Hunger of the Civil Division and U.S. Attorney William A. Keefer of Miami, Florida, said the agreement settled claims that LabCorp--through Florida facilities formerly owned by its subsidiary, National Health Laboratories--defrauded Medicare by overstating the mileage of the phlebotomists. In Florida, Medicare reimbursed laboratories for such mileage on a per-mile basis. The government alleged that from 1989 through 1996 LabCorp's phlebotomists overstated the miles they had driven to collect the specimens. As a result, Medicare reimbursed LabCorp for expenses to which it was not entitled. The agreement settles a dispute originally brought as a qui tam case in U.S. District Court in Ft. Lauderdale in U.S. ex rel. Holden and Bunora v. Laboratory Corporation of America, et al., No. 96-6272-CIV-ZLOCH. As part of the settlement, Chris Holden and Maryjane Bunora, who filed the suit on behalf of the U.S., will receive $112,000. The case was conducted jointly by the Civil Division of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's office in Ft. Lauderdale with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. ##### 97-248
