Built on almost 400 years of history, Boston holds tightly onto its past as it parades into the future. That's a great package deal for visitors, who will find well-preserved dashes of the Colonial, Federal, and Victorian eras alongside a modern, walkable city infused with green spaces and waterfront. New England's oldest and largest city was founded in 1630 and earned its place in history in the days preceding the Revolutionary War. It's still possible to rock the cradle of democracy in Boston by following the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail through the city, exploring 16 museums, churches, meeting houses, and other historically significant sites along the way. Walking is a great way to explore Boston's present as well as its past. Now that the freeway has been moved underground, Boston has 15 brand new acres of parkland. The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway wends through the city, connecting the North End, Wharf District, Dewey Square, and Chinatown. The Greenway is the newest addition to Boston's already impressive list of urban open spaces, which includes the Boston Common, Public Garden, and Emerald Necklace. A stroll in the park is just one of many free things to do in Boston. Other favorite things to do in Boston include cheering (or jeering, depending on your affiliations) at sports events. With three Super Bowl victories, two World Series wins, and an NBA championship this decade, Boston has earned a name as a city of champions. Service from low-cost carriers and large airlines alike means that flights to Boston and nearby cities are competitively priced.
When To Go
As a major city, Boston sees a stream of visitors all year round. Crowds and prices don't fluctuate much by season, except a little during peak autumn months, when school is back in session and the leaves are bursting with vibrant colors. Spring also sees heightened activity, particularly during school-commencement season and the Boston Marathon. Summer brings outdoor activities and the most tourists, while winter peaks with cultural events. Any time can be a good time to visit the city, depending on what you're looking to do. Fall is generally the best time to go, though spring and summer are pleasant as well. These times bring in healthy-sized crowds due to favorable weather and special events. Prices can be a little a higher, and it might be difficult to find availability. While winter has the worst weather, it's also when locals and visitors flock to indoor activities such as the theater, museum exhibits, fine dining, wine and food festivals, and holiday celebrations.
high season: April to June, September to October
high season: April to June, September to October
low season: January to March
shoulder season: July to August, November to December
Weather InformationSummer is the hottest time of year, with an average high of 80 degrees and frequent high humidity. December, January, and February are the coldest months, with average lows in the 20s. These months also have the most snowfall. Spring and fall tend to have the most moderate, pleasant weather. Despite what historical averages say, weather can be unpredictable, fluctuating from warm and sunny to chilly and cloudy, with temperatures varying 20 degrees or more over the course of a day. Temperatures also tend to be cooler by the ocean than on city streets. It's often best to dress in layers, and bring a warm coat in the winter.
Crowd InformationThere can be large crowds during the fall, particularly around the weekend of the Head of the Charles regatta in October. Fall foliage is a huge draw throughout the season. Spring gets busy too, mostly during the Boston Marathon in April and commencement season in May and June. Summer around the Fourth of July also sees sizeable crowds. Winter has the fewest crowds. If you want to avoid crowds, head to the part of the city that's not hosting peak events, or explore those areas at different times of the year.
Closure InformationA small number of outdoor attractions such as cruises and tours close from December through March.
When to SaveThe best times to find bargains are January through March, and August. The most expensive times are May and the fall months. To encourage visitation, some hotels and other travel providers offer extra perks and discounted rates during off-peak holidays such as Memorial Day, when locals flee the city for destinations such as Cape Cod.
When to BookPrices for travel services don't vary much throughout the year, but it's best to book well in advance for travel during May, June, September, and October. Note that some hotels near universities fill up a year or more in advance for commencement. Dinner reservations near colleges can be hard to get during graduations and parents' weekends as well, so plan in advance.

History in the palm of your hand
The Great Fire and Blitz did their damage, but it can be argued that nothing changed the topography of London quite as much as the railways. From 1836 these industrial interlopers began to arrive in London, the first in Bermondsey and Deptford, causing houses to be demolished and huge tracts of London to become divided by high-rise red-brick arches carrying trains above the streets.
North of the river, the stations were kept out of the centre by Parliament and developers and were slung instead in a great line from Paddington to Liverpool Street, like the new gates to an old metropolis. But in the south, they encroached right up to the river, often taking root in land that had only recently been inhabited. Here you can trace the arrival of the station at Waterloo, on land that in 1746 was almost completely unoccupied.
Here is the same land in 1830, now more densely occupied thanks to the explosion of bridge-building that allowed traffic to cross the river more easily than ever before.
By our next map of 1862, the station has arrived, plonked messily in the middle of the map with railway lines shooting off it.
It's these lines that would have so much impact on South London, which to this day can resemble a face that has been slashed and scarred by raised arches, embankments and bridges. The area between Waterloo and London Bridge around Southwark Street is particularly bad. See the map of 1862, with just a single east-west line, and compare it with the spider-web of lines on a modern map.
This vast network of interlocking and overlapping lines goes a long way towards explaining why some people find South London so confusing and alienating. The railway line create dead ends where none should be and force the roads to take confusing shapes to find their way through bridges and arches. Felix Barker and Peter Jackson wrote in 'A History Of London In Maps' that 'with the excitement of children laying out nursery tracks, prodigally financed companies spread networks so liberally that by the end of the (19th) century maps resembled cats' cradles.
But there are some benefits to this South London railway land. The huge number of railway arches can easily be transformed into cheap commercial space, granting parts of south London around Vauxhall, London Bridge and Waterloo a night-time economy that people are happy to cross the river to take part in.

Bandsaw Tensioning Crank Heavy Duty
The Heavy Duty Bandsaw Tensioning Crank replaces the tension adjusting rod and knob on most 14" bandsaws with a 5" cast iron, chrome plated hand wheel crank.
The large diameter handwheel, coupled with the 3/8" acme threaded rod makes quick work of lowering and raising the wheel on your bandsaw when changing blades.
The massive bronze replacement nut helps eliminate play in the threaded rod.
Please note that we do not have a list of the bandsaw models that the Heavy Duty Crank will fit. Compare the dimensions below against your current tensioner
to decide if the Heavy Duty Crank will fit your bandsaw. This crank was designed for band saws without quick-release levers, though it may fit some with Q/R
levers. Compare the particulars below with the rod and nut currently on your saw.
Our customers inform us this crank fits fine on their Jet JWBS-12 12" bandsaws.

Lefty reminds us he's not immune
Phil Mickelson followed up his win at last month's Open Championship with a dreadful showing at the PGA Championship, firing a 12-over-par 292, the lowlight of which was a 78 in Saturday's third round.
Lefty's ill-starred weekend made Tiger Woods' sputtering 4-over effort look like championship-level golf, and it would seem to be at odds with the public perception of Mickelson's game — especially now that he has five major championships under his belt.
But historically, Phil hasn't exactly been immune from the occasional stinker, and this year's final major is the latest flop in recent memory for the world's No. 2 golfer. Here's a look back at Mickelson's worst finishes since 2002 in tournaments in which he made the cut and played all four rounds:
2013 MASTERS: Mickelson played extremely well at the Open Championship and the U.S. Open, but the bread around that sandwich has been pretty stale. Phil opened the major schedule this year with a 9-over 297 at the Masters. Mickelson called his third-round 77 "beyond terrible" and was over par in three rounds for just the second time in his Masters career.
2012 U.S. OPEN: After a tie for third at the Masters, expectations were high for Mickelson. But he lost control of his game at the U.S. Open in June 2012. Phil played alongside Woods and Bubba Watson the first two days at Olympic Club, and barely made the cut at 7-over. After a third-round 71, Mickelson closed with a Sunday 78 to finish at 296 — 16-over par — for the tournament. The following month, Mickelson missed the cut at the Open Championship after shooting 11-over in his first two rounds.
2011 CADILLAC CHAMPIONSHIP: Mickelson's 292 wasn't quite as egregious as this week's PGA, since the monster at Doral checks in at a par 72. But at 4-over, Mickelson finished 20 strokes behind winner Nick Watney's pace, and only eight players of the 66 finishers in the limited field posted a worse four-round total. Phil played his first three rounds alongside his old buddy Woods, but it was his final round 76 that really defined Mickelson's weekend.
2009 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: 300 is a great score if you're going bowling — not so much if you're trying to play winning golf. The week before the 2009 PGA, Mickelson struggled at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, posting a 7-over 287, and then he followed it up with a 300 at Hazeltine National, the worst four-round score since his 28-over 308 at the 1998 British Open (a tournament that included a third-round 85). Earlier in 2009, however, Phil's wife, Amy, had been diagnosed with breast cancer, so I tend to want to give him a pass for being more focused on things other than his golf game.
2008 BRITISH OPEN: To watch Mickelson's first round at the 2008 Open Championship, it's hard to believe he even made it to Sunday. After a 9-over-par 79 in the opening round, Mickelson responded with a second-round 68 at Royal Birkdale to make the cut. But the weekend started with a 76 in Round 3, and by the time all was said and done, Phil checked in with a 14-over 294 for the week. If there was any consolation, it was that even the winner, Padraig Harrington, finished a 3-over-par.
2008 PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP: Three months before slogging through the British, Mickelson played poorly at the Players Championship, shooting a 4-over 292. Mickelson entered the tournament as the defending champion, having shot 11-under at TPC Sawgrass the year before. But he would have no such luck in 2008, with a final-round 78 dropping him from a tie for fourth at 2-under to a tie for 21st, nowhere near the top of the leaderboard.
2007 BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL: Mickelson won three tournaments in 2007, but his season will probably be better remembered for his absolute disasters at some of the season's biggest tournaments. One of them came in August at the Bridgestone, where Mickelson followed up missed cuts at the U.S. Open, AT&T National and British Open by playing all four rounds over par. He finished at 13-over 293, miles behind the runaway winner, Woods, who was the only player under par at 8-under.
2007 MASTERS: As we noted above, the majors weren't kind to Phil in 2007 — and that also applied when he made the cut. One week after stumbling at the Bridgestone, Mickelson played the PGA at 6-over, but that was an improvement over the Masters, when Lefty logged a 11-over 299, with two 73s sandwiched in between an opening-round 76 and a Sunday 77. No one finished under par in that year's Masters, but Phil was never even in contention. Not surprisingly, Mickelson dropped swing coach Rick Smith in favor of Butch Harmon just a couple weeks later.
2005 U.S. OPEN: The U.S. Open has always been a special challenge for Phil, with six second-place finishes at the tournament over the years. But Pinehurst No. 2 made it so that Mickelson was never in contention in 2005, as he shot a 12-over 292 to finish in a tie for 33rd. The week started off well enough, with Mickelson firing a 1-under 69 on Thursday to enter the clubhouse in a tie for sixth, but things fell apart on Friday, when he shot a 77 to drop from contention. The weekend didn't provide much relief either, as Phil's unraveling continued with a 72 and a 74. Soon enough, that was all forgotten, however, as he won that year's PGA Championship for his second career major
2003 BRITISH OPEN: Sure, majors are supposed to be tough, but Phil made Royal St. George's tougher than it needed to be in 2003, turning in a 13-over 297 for the tournament. He was over par in all four rounds, and, at 14 shots behind winner Ben Curtis, the then-33-year-old Phil only added to his reputation at the time as the best golfer to never win a major. His true redemption wouldn't come for another decade, when he finally won the claret jug this July.
2002 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: Mickelson's 12 top-10 finishes in 2002 meant little at the PGA, where even a final-round 68 couldn't save Phil from a disastrous first three rounds. Mickelson shot a 4-over 76 in the first round at Hazeltine, the site of that 2009 PGA disaster, but it was a 78 on Saturday that really did Lefty in. It was hard to believe this was the same Phil who shot 8-under at the Masters earlier that year, and I'm sure he considered himself lucky that someone paid him $26,000 for that poor finish.

What ever happened to, 'The Life and Death of Sam Crow'?
What ever happened to the great manuscript, 'The Life and Death of Sam Crow', authored by John Teller himself? The document played a crucial role in Sons of Anarchy, as it was one of the main things that set Jax on his hero-cycle-esque journey to save his club.
Series creator, Kurt Sutter, has assured us all that we will get to see the full manuscript at some point. In fact it was initially supposed to be released immediately following the series finale of SOA. Problem is, somewhere along the line Sutter decided he wants to do a prequel miniseries, showing how the club got to where we picked up in season one.
Sutter logically feels like releasing the document now would keep him bound far too much while writing the miniseries. By holding off the release, he will be free to create whatever plot he wants, and then match up 'The Life and Death of Sam Crow' accordingly.
Sutter is currently working on a new series, 'The Bastard Executioner', so we likely won't see the prequel, or the manuscript, for quite some time.

Tidy Towns is making progress
Noel McCarthy chairman of Fermoy Tidy towns Committee was happy to record yet another year of progress in the working of his group towards helping to make Fermoy litter-free and beautiful as he addressed the AGM of that body recently.
One source of satisfaction to the Group is the fact that Fermoy is still ranked as Litter Free to European standards as well as increasing its marks in the National Tidy town by a whopping six marks.
Noel was happy that the recent spring clean in the town was a success and said that the Group were prepared to meet up with any residential group who still wish to do a clean-up by making plastic bags etc available to them.
Speaking on the Image enhancement of the town and its approaches, he praised the work which John Feeney and his FAS workers are carrying out on Kevin Barry Hill at the moment.
This will certainly do wonders for that part of the town, he also praised the work at the roundabout at the Dublin side of the town and he thanked Dave Ryan and the Amber Station Services for their help in this respect.
Noel hopes that a similar project can be arranged at the roundabouts on the Cork side of town this year.
He signalled a welcome return to the contractor who is responsible for the public grass cutting in Fermoy during the growing season.
Dog fouling in public places is another project that the Group have initiated during the past year but it still remains to be seen if it will be taken up?
The outgoing members were again re-elected as follows Chairman noel McCarthy, Vice chairman John Murphy, Hon Sec/Treasurer Christy Roche, Administrator /Sec Marie O'Brien, PRO Tad O'Donovan.

Creativity Isn't Something Gamers Should Have To Ask For
Hideo Kojima thinks original ideas are thin on the ground right now. He's probably right, too. Speaking to OPM, Metal Gear Solid's creator said these words:
"I think it's more consumer demand – right now, consumers are happy with what they have. First-person shooters sell like crazy, so there's not really a strong demand for anything else, and that's why [original ideas] stop being made.
"People are satisfied with making minor upgrades and tweaking things here and there – as long as that's the landscape, it will keep on happening. I don't see a problem necessarily, but at the same time it is nice to see new things come."
I can see his point. I know where he's coming from. I even agree in some ways. But there's a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of a creative on show here, at least as far as I'm concerned.
It shouldn't be the job of creatives to merely provide what the masses want. As Henry Ford, creator of the first mass-produced, affordable automobiles said: "if I had asked people what they want, they would have said 'faster horses'."
Generally speaking, people will want more of the same – more of what they know they like – just done better. I'm guilty of this – we all are. It's natural, and why wouldn't it be? You play a game that you enjoy, why wouldn't you want to play something similar, just done a bit better?
You enjoyed Batman: Arkham Asylum, why wouldn't you want it to be the same again on a bigger scale in Arkham City? GTA III was excellent, but wouldn't it be better if it was the same again but with elements like motorbikes? Vice City answered that cry for a faster horse.
But then familiarity sets in and disappointment follows. When our brains say we want more of the same – when our gut says 'more; done better' – it isn't always right. And we don't always realise this until we play the More; Done Better game. We don't always realise that Uncharted 3, great as it is, feels a bit too familiar to the last game. We don't always know that Modern Warfare will become quite tiresome, even if it does retain its maddeningly addictive traits. We're just not sure that these yearly, incremental updates to FIFA will end up causing more harm than good, though it remains the best footy game on PS3.
In short – we don't always know what we want, even if we're sure we do. It's up to those making the games to show us what it is we really want to play; those who have the power should wield it smartly, and for our benefit.
This is fantasist territory, it has to be said. Money makes the industry tick over, and money flows liberally from the creative voids that are first-person shooters, endless licensed tie-ins and whatever other flavour-of-the-month, 'fast food of gaming' crap we're happy to shovel down our throats.
Publishers might not be serving consumers in the most creatively fulfilling or intellectually stimulating manner possible, but they are doing it in a way that bags them what they want it to bag them: moolah. Dosh. Cashola. Wonga.
But it's not all doom and gloom, as anyone who casts even a cursory glance at the games industry beyond the AAA hits will know. The indie scene is thriving – possibly stronger than it's ever been – and between the four hundred billion rip-offs of Bird Flinger 2000 and Man Dodger 900 there are plenty of interesting, exciting and genuinely creative games. Some even coming from actual, real life bedroom coders.
In the part of the industry Sony is apparently trying to cultivate – to help grow through its Pub Fund in order to put games on PSN – there are games we've always wanted to play. We just didn't know we wanted to play them. We just wanted faster horses.

Fur-Ever Wild 'agricultural farm' stinks, Eureka neighbors say
Springtime in one Dakota County neighborhood is not bringing the smell of flowers, but rather, the smell of wolf food. And there's howling.
Fur-Ever Wild is a self-described "working agricultural farm" in Eureka Township just south of Lakeville owned by Terri Petter. The farm advertises to visitors that it has wolves, and according to court documents, the farm also has "cougars, bobcats, otters, beavers, lynx, fishers, martens, and badgers" that they use for fur.
Neighbors sued their Eureka Township board, arguing that most of these animals were exotic and therefore prohibited by a 2005 ordinance. When the case first went to court, the judge ruled that Petter could have exotic animals if they were used for fur farming, which the township allows. The Court of Appeals disagreed, holding that under the ordinance, exotic animals are exotic animals, and it doesn't matter what they're used for.
The Eureka Township lawyer said the ruling means the case heads back to court to determine which animals stay and which have to go. The neighbors involved in the suit say they hope that day comes soon.
The owner of the farm declined to comment for the story. Because the ordinance banning exotic animals was passed in 2005, the number of exotic animals on the farm at that time is grandfathered in, so they can keep that same number. The township does have the option to try to appeal.

The second album from Georgia's Ernest Greene (aka Washed Out) is an often-stunning set of dreamy, psych-tinged electro-pop. Featuring lusher production and a much greater variety of instrumentation than his 2011 debut album Within and Without, Paracosm's songs sport richly detailed arrangements combining warm, atmospheric synths with a variety of instrumentation ranging from vintage keyboards like the Mellotron and Optigan to sitar, marimba and steel guitar for a wistful, melody-rich sound that's ideal for Greene's hazy vocals to lazily float above. 7/26/2013 - Don Yates

I much prefer Melanie Blythe; it's softer and daintier and more feminine. Blake is quite masculine to me (although there's Blake Lively). Are you looking for more suggestions?
BTW I love that you're choosing Melanie! Melanie from Gone With the Wind is such an amazing character. I also like the Twelfth Night connection with Olivia.~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3

Make Your Own: Theater Geek Chic
Sometimes you just gotta let geek flag fly, right you guys? Admit it: We all love musicals, deep down. Even if you hate musicals, ask yourself: Is this because I genuinely loathe narratives that are interupted by dance numbers, or because there was a point of your life when you seriously loved Rent and now those embarrassing memories of singing all of "Seasons of Love" (both original and refrain) for your 8th grade school pageant make you cringe at even the phrase "rockopera."
Good news though! With the entire country catching Glee fever, it's suddenly okay to be into musicals again, even if you hide it behind a veil of ironic nostalgia. While that can mean everything from going to see Spring Awakening (you know, just because you heard Hunter Parish was in it), to humming the refrain of Jay-Z's Hard Knock Life ("Oh, that's from a musical? Did not know!).
Me? I chose to show my love for musicals in this week's Make Your Own. It's super easy: Those shirts you bought when your parents took you to see Phantom of the Opera or Les Miserables are still sitting in their basement. Next time you're home, go rifle through your old belongings…I found my Cats shirt in a bag that also contained Les Mis, Rent, and inexplicably a KISS tee. And you know what? Time had softened up the cheap theater fabric so they had the feel of one of those $26 ultra-light tri-blend shirts from American Apparel. Combine with a short skirt, sunglasses, and a sense of not taking yourself too seriously: Voila! Instant theater chic! (Extra ironic points for holding a dog while wearing a Cats shirt!)
Who knows…wear it to your next hipster-related event and you might find that people will actually approach you to talk about how they saw Neil Patrick Harris when he played the MC in Cabaret.


text: Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center has settled a case of alleged billing fraud to various federal health programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Affairs. DHMC, which denied any liability in the matter, agreed to pay $2,227,075. The federal government recovers $1.5 million, Vermont $80,396, and New Hampshire $61,541, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Vermont announced Tuesday. The investigation began in 2007 following a complaint filed by Dr. Thomas J. Prendergast, who was a physician in the DHMC pulmonary department in Lebanon. The complaint alleged the hospital improperly billed federal health care programs for services performed by resident staff without sufficient supervision by physicians. Regulations allow physicians to bill for certain services by resident staff, but only if the services are performed in the presence of a physician.

The premiere of "Loin des Yeux" (Far from Eyes), the short film of Belgian-Moroccan director and scenario writer Ismail Saidi, recently took place in Brussels. Albayane reported on September 13 that prominent figures such as Fadila Laanan, Minister of Culture of the French community in Belgium, and Mustapha Salahdine, ambassador of Morocco, were present in the movie premiere. Saidi's movie is about a tragic love story of young Moroccan Karim (Rachid El Ouali), who goes to Brussels to meet his lover but finds his lover quite changed in the nightlife of the big city.

JUPITER, Fla. -- Mark McGwire and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed Thursday to a two-year extension worth $30 million. McGwire negotiated the extension himself, opting not to go through his agent.
''If somebody's going to complain about making $15 million, there's something wrong with him,'' McGwire said.
''I was telling my son the other day that I was going to sign this deal ... basically averaging $15 million a year and people are going to talk about how I'm going to be underpaid. That's pretty ridiculous.''
The last time McGwire signed a contract with the Cardinals, he got a standing ovation at Busch Stadium following the announcement, then homered.
Thursday was far less dramatic o. Playing in an intrasquad game with coaches pitching, McGwire went 0-for-2. He hit into a double play and hit a fly ball that was dropped for an error in the outfield.
The new contract is nowhere near what Big Mac would have received as a free agent. But it is the first step to guaranteeing that he will end his career in St. Louis -- possibly as the home run king.
The deal runs through 2003, the season McGwire could be approaching Hank Aaron's home-run record of 755.
''I am so happy where I'm at. You can't document it any better than that,'' McGwire said. ''I've heard people say, 'Well, he'll probably go to the American League and DH.' No, I'm not. I'm going to stay here. I'm going to be with the Cardinals as far as I can go as a baseball player, period. You can't find a better organization and better fans in baseball.''
McGwire, 37, missed most of the second half of last season with a knee injury. He had surgery during the offseason and has been healthy this spring.
He set the single-season record with 70 homers in 1998, then hit 65 the following year. He hit 32 last season in just 236 at-bats.
''We're really excited that beyond this year the most dangerous run producer in baseball is going to be on our team,'' manager Tony La Russa said.
Big Mac is seventh on the career home-run list with 554, just 201 behind Aaron, and would have to average 67 homers in the next three seasons to tie the mark.

In the interview, Nasrallah stressed that Lebanon must preserve the achievements obtained by his group, and warned his local rivals of "blackening the face of victory."
"The responsibility of Lebanon and the Lebanese, who think of themselves as parties to this triumph, to act in order to maintain this victory and not allow it to be lost. Maintaining the triumph is always more difficult than gaining it, and in Lebanon this is even harder," he stated.
According to Nasrallah, the Israel Defense Forces, which used to be a legend, "has turned into an example of failure and embarrassment in this war. The army used everything it had, except for nuclear weapons, but failed to achieve the goals on which it declared: Annihilating Hizbullah and the group's rocket infrastructure, and releasing the two captive soldiers. Olmert's greatest achievement in this long and extensive war was that he brought civilians to the shelters."
When asked what were the chances that Israel launch a new war in the region, Nasrallah replied: "If Israel wants to open a new war, it will have to make a thousand calculations, especially if we reach a reasonable state of affairs in Lebanon, after the Lebanese army and UNIFIL deploy, and in a way that does not jeopardize Hizbullah's weapons, which defeated Israel."
Nasrallah added that Israel will have to make the same calculations regarding Syria.
Hizbullah's chief also called for renewal of the "national dialogue" on the state's defense strategy, and said that the experience gained in the recent war should be taken into consideration. He said that the resistance served as an alternative for the vacuum left by the state, but added that if the country is strong enough to defend the people, this may serve as a solution and an outlet for his group's weapons.
During the war, Nasrallah has on several occasions lashed out at the Arab leaders for failing to support him, and for even standing in his way in his war against Israel. Now, the group head said that he was willing to rehabilitate the relations with the Arab states, Saudi Arabia in particular, and that Hizbullah was holding contacts with several countries through "mutual friends."

NLCS homer not affecting Heilman
NLCS homer not affecting Heilman
Home run pitchers are what they are: unintentional co-authors of compelling baseball stories that stick with us; pitchers whose resumes have been stained by an October swing; players who are linked forever to an adversary because of one moment of competition.
Branca's profile was raised by the home run by Bobby Thomson that was said to resound globally, his image enhanced by the dignity he has demonstrated in the 55 subsequent summers. Terry proved himself in 1962, two years after the fact, opting to pitch Willie McCovey with everything at stake and retiring him to end the World Series in a more acceptable way.
Eckersley brushed aside Kirk Gibson's moment of 1988 gallantry and moved on. Moore was haunted by Dave Henderson's in '86. And 28 years later, Mike Torrez makes appearances with Bucky Dent, never using the present-participle nickname New England created for a Yankees hero.
The list now includes Aaron Heilman. He threw the most telling pitch of the Mets' 2006 season, the one that added Yadier Molina to a different list and removed the favored team from the National League Championship Series in the decisive game. Heilman pleads guilty, but he hardly is held to the fire for the pitch Molina hit beyond Endy Chavez and the Mets' ability to retaliate.
Heilman says the home run has been the topic of most every reporter's first question this spring. But he also acknowledges the questions haven't led to any calls for his head.
"It hasn't been ... bad," he said.
The newspapers haven't been unkind. The drive-time alarmists have been more consumed by A-Rod's relationships, Carl Pavano's aches and Jimmy Rollins' pronouncements.
"That's OK with me," Heilman said.
He sees no benefit in reviewing or reliving the moment.
But Heilman was a tad intrigued when asked to explain how he had escaped the wrath of the masses and why Mets uniform No. 48 seemingly has been treated with Teflon. A man given to analysis, Heilman considered the possibilities on Sunday, but he came up almost as empty as the Mets had in October.
"It was a pretty quirky game," he said, finally. "Lots of things happened."
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Heilman wasn't denying responsibility, but merely saying Molina's two-run home run in the ninth just got lost in all of what happened that night. It wasn't rationalization at all, but rather realization that other aspects of the 3-1 loss obscured his role.
"I think [Carlos] Beltran took him off the hook," general manager Omar Minaya said.
A season-ending called third strike with three runners on base and a two-run deficit does draw some attention. And as much as the New York market likes to embrace a hometown hero, it hardly is averse to pointing its finger at a hometown villain. And if it's an already established star, so much the better.
Beltran's star is significantly brighter than Heilman's. And the final out did make an impression. Adam Wainwright threw the final pitch of the World Series as well, the Cardinals' first successful World Series in 24 years. But the Cardinals closer has acknowledged his strikeout of Beltran looms larger than the final out of the World Series with most folks.
"If it was me and [Albert] Pujols," said closer Billy Wagner, "it would have been bigger. Or if we had been ahead and then lost it, you would have heard more. I'm just as glad for Aaron. He's dealing with it pretty good, just putting it behind him like you have to do.
"So much happened in that game -- we had so many chances -- one man can't be blamed. You can't put [it] on him. He was asked to do more [after Duaner Sanchez went down], and he pitched so well. It was just a ridiculous series for us -- a pretty ugly NLCS. We didn't play our best, but we didn't play that poor. We just didn't get it done.
"Once Endy Chavez made that catch [in the sixth inning], we all knew we were going to win. And when we didn't score [with the bases loaded and one out] in the next [half] inning, it knocked us down. Even when it was over, we were just sitting there waiting for someone to get the hit we needed. We'd been getting them all year.
"Why not that night?"
No fingers are pointed in the Mets' clubhouse this spring. Even with 62 players in camp, there may not be enough fingers. Guillermo Mota's pitch to Scott Spiezio is mentioned more often than Molina's home run. Wagner brought up the home run he allowed to So Taguchi that put the Cardinals ahead. Willie Randolph also recalls how the team didn't score in the sixth -- with the bases loaded and on out -- after Chavez's catch.
No one blames Chavez for making the third out in the sixth, on the first pitch. But a number of teammates have what-iffed that moment. "What if Endy gets a hit there?" Heilman wondered.
That catch and a hit to put the Mets ahead would have put him with Al Weis, Ron Swoboda and Lenny Dykstra in Mets postseason lore. And they might have kept Heilman off the list.
"I probably would have been on in the ninth if we had the lead," Wagner said. "What if I give it up to Albert? He's an all-time hero, I'm a bum.
"That's why you don't point fingers. They can point back at you in a hurry."

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Michael Young's triple touched off a streak of six straight Texas base runners in a six-run second Friday, launching the Rangers to a 9-1 win over Oakland.
The big inning gave Texas its sixth win in eight games and allowed the Rangers to protect their two-game lead over the second-place Los Angeles Angels in the American League West.
C.J. Wilson (11-5) benefited from the offense to pick up the victory, throwing five shutout innings and allowing one run on four hits in six frames. He struck out seven.
Oakland starter Brandon McCarthy (5-6) remained in the game throughout the second inning, but left in the fourth after being struck by a line drive off the bat of Endy Chavez. McCarthy took the shot on his right knee, but was able to limp off the field under his own power.
After Young tripled to start the second, Nelson Cruz singled him home. Mike Napoli was then safe on a fielding error by shortstop Cliff Pennington, after which Mitch Moreland singled in Cruz, Yorvit Torrealba singled home Napoli and Chavez delivered Moreland with a double.
Ian Kinsler recorded the first out of the inning with a popup, but Elvis Andrus singled in Torrealba with the sixth run of the inning.

a few couples (in our early 30s) are planning a week-long beach trip. by chance we've decided to try belize or honduras.
we're just beginning our research and would love any input.
we are all pretty well-traveled and are looking for a mellow, not-too-touristy spot to visit, with beautiful beaches (scuba would be nice-but not imperative), friendly locals, some nightlife, culture would be cool, etc. we are really looking to chill out but will need some beach activity, maybe a little town. we would plan to rent a house and i guess you could say we'd like to be a bit off the beaten path.
i hear that belize's beaches arent great and everyone speaks english - though the reef would be a draw.
re: honduras ive only ever heard about roatan and have heard amazing things.
please let us know if you have any favorites.
looking forward to your replies. cheers!

We love Belize, but we like Ambergris and if you want off the beaten path, it's probably not for you. You might check Caye Caulker or some of the other less touristed cayes. We've snorkeled all over the world and Belize is some of the best we've ever done - lots of beautiful fish, eels, lobsters, turtles, big rays, nurse sharks, etc. Always hear good things about Roatan as well.

thx, all. this is great. much-appreciated!

We've been to both. I really liked Roatan better than Belize. If you like to snorkel or dive, its much easier in Roatan. Shore dives and snorkeling from West End Beach were amazing. Same from Belize required a lengthy boat trip, although the sights were amazing once we arrived. We rented the 3-bedroom house (St. Mac's villa) in West Bay Village on Roatan. Loved it.
Report Abuse
The reef is the same from coz through belize and on to roatan. the reef is right onshore on roaten and only a short kayak paddle from AC or CC in belize. belize has the atolls and blue hole which roatan lacks. overall belize is a better dive destination. the lengthy boat trip is not true as you can easily see on gmaps.
Report Abuse
Katzgar; Its been awhile since we were on AC, but I wouldn't say that a person could take a "short kayak paddle" to get to a reef for diving or even snorkeling from shore. As I recall the boat ride out through "the cut" was really hairy even for the pros. Can't speak to CC, as we didn't stay there, but we visited for a day and at that time it was not much more than a local village. As for Blue Hole, that is absolutely a long boat ride from AC and is only for very experienced divers. I did some snorkeling around the rim while hubby did the dive. He wasn't very impressed -- although he still wears his "Blue Hole - Been There, Done That" tee shirt. Its just a very quick decent to 160' and then up again. I got the impression that the OP was looking for a little more party atmosphere with diving secondary.
Report Abuse
Agreed, the Blue Hole is a sort of bucket list thing that some later regret as not too interesting. I would refer the OP to youtube for a picture is worth a thousand words kinda thing. Kayak tie ups are provided on the reef every so often and way north of san pedro the reef can easily be swam out to. The reef can easily be seen on gmaps which I refer to as a sort of atbitrator.
Report Abuse
How close the reef is just depends on where you stay. There are definitely spots you can kayak from. From our hotel, I think it was about a ten minute boat ride.
Report Abuse
according to gmaps the reef appears to be about 2,000feet off shore at san pedro.
Report Abuse
O.K. we stayed at a condo near Victoria House on AC. From there one couldn't access the reef by swimming or paddling. Sounds like its much different in other locations. Still....I liked Roatan better. However, our favorite is Cozumel. We return there every winter for a month and have for 20 years. Love it.
Report Abuse
I prefer Belize because the people are friendlier and its less touristy. Coz in certainly ok but too touristy for my taste. Roatan is also ok, the hills make things more scenic.
Report Abuse
When you kayak out to the reef from Ambergris, you shouldn't even consider heading outside the reef. There are buoys inside the reef to tie up at.
I live a mile south of town, and many people kayak out to the reef from there to snorkel. Not me, I'm one of the most un-athletic people I know.
Victoria House is a another mile south of me.
Report Abuse
I visited Belize for the first time last year, after exploring many parts of the Caribbean and have never fallen in love with a place so quickly.
I went in December, end of May may be different, but it was great. The people were so friendly, like you all say and there is plenty of marine life to keep you occupied for days. Visited Victoria House, but didn't stay there unfortunately. It's beautiful and definitely luxurious.
Report Abuse
If you're consider the Bay Islands, skip Roatan and head to Guanaja to stay off the beaten path. I just wrapped up a 7 night stay at G&G's Clearwater Paradise Resort on the north shore. I was there with my 14 year old son for a dive trip, but it's a fantastic set up for couples. Your group would probably book up the entire place, so you'd have it all to yourself. It's a beautiful setting with lots of dives and snorkeling nearby. Seculded beaches, great hospitality and incredible food. George and Ginger do not skimp. It's the small details, like 600 thread count sheets, thick toilet paper (vs. the sandpaper all the other places use!), and local/homegrown ingredients that make the difference. Their dining/bar area overlooks the bay and is the perfect place to bring on the evening.
I planned my trip just a few weeks ahead of time and was debating Belize or Honduras as well. I can't speak for Belize, but I'm glad I chose Guanaja in Hn. G&G's 7 night dive package was superior to many of the arrangements offered by places in Belize, and flights from California were notably cheaper. Have fun!
Report Abuse
English spoken on Bay Islands as well as all over Belize and Ambergris does have lodges way off the beaten path, north of town, some close enough to the reef to swim to.
Report Abuse
I would say Placencia for your visit we also have great nightlife, great restaurant, nice beaches, and great resort.
Report Abuse
If you have 1 week I'd vote for Roatan. If you have 8-10 days I'd probably chnge to Belize and suggest you split your trip between Cayo district and Ambergris Caye. Regardless, you'll enjoy either

We are almost there and ready for action!
The outside is looking amazing, our fundi's have worked really hard this week making the place look more like a hotel than a toilet block!
Kai is busy tiling the floors and walls for each toilet cubicle, the grinder is so noisy in such an enclosed space that it's good we are just taking photos and not video!
We still have some work to do on the inspection chambers and septic tank but are hoping to finish soon.

PHOENIX — A's co-owner Lew Wolff made his first appearance at spring training Wednesday and didn't hold back his hopes and expectations for his team.
Wolff believes the A's have a better roster this year than they did in 2006, when Oakland won its last American League West championship.
"I think it's a better team," he said. "This one, I think, is much more balanced. We have a combination of youth — especially with the pitching — and maturity. And we've got some veterans who are athletic veterans, and not on the last legs of their career. I just think we have some balance."
Wolff referred to the rebuilding plan that general manager Billy Beane started before the 2008 season, when the A's began a youth movement by trading away several marquee veterans for prospects who improved the minor league system.
He thinks the team is in position to start reaping the benefits of those trades behind a young pitching foundation that's highlighted by Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez and Brett Anderson.
"We either do it or not, that's the way I see it," Wolff said of 2011.
Wolff, who typically makes one or two trips to spring camp from his home in Southern California, had yet to meet some of the team's new players, including designated hitter Hideki Matsui. That's a main reason he showed up Wednesday.
He was asked whether he expected Matsui, who has mass international appeal due to his long career in Japan, to have a positive impact off the field with ticket sales and sponsorship opportunities.
"I think (his addition) is terrific," Wolff said. "But the game is on the field. I hear he's such a terrific guy. That's a plus." Wolff said he didn't have any new information on when he would hear back from the Major League Baseball-appointed committee that's studying where the A's should build their new ballpark.
He did say team officials have had talks with Phoenix city officials about renovating Phoenix Municipal Stadium, the A's spring training home which is looking quite outdated compared to the newer Cactus League ballparks sprouting up.
Wolff said he believes roughly $30 million of renovations are needed between Phoenix Muni and Papago Park, where the A's hold workouts and their minor league operations are based.

Today we're pleased to welcome author Amanda Hocking here to talk about her wishes for the fourth season of Downton Abbey. The third book in Amanda's Watersong series, Tidal, releases this week, and also might include some unlikely pairings, similar the one she's suggesting below. Thanks for being here, Amanda!
I am a huge Downton Abbey fan. I'm British (by way of my grandparents on both sides of my family, not by birthplace), so I think that I finally understand the way some Italian Americans feel about The Sopranos.
Not only is the show brilliantly written, exquisitely designed and costumed, but it has Maggie Smith. Really, everything else could be terrible, and Dowager Countess of Grantham's wit could still carry the whole thing. Fortunately, though, the show is amazing and insanely addictive. Who knew the goings on of the household staff in a turn-of-the-century manor could be so exciting?
But onto the heart of the matter—I am totally shipping Mary Crawley and Tom Branson for the next season of Downton Abbey.
Before Season 3 of Downton started, I was looking up a few things about the show, and I accidentally made a grisly discovery. Namely that two beloved characters weren't going to survive onto the next season (though, no SPOILERS can actually prepare you for the abrupt devastation of either of their deaths, or the onslaught of tears).

PropThink: TH-302 Development: In the Shadow of the Competition
by The Associated Press
By Jake King
After declines in the first half of the week, shares of Threshold Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:THLD) rebounded on Thursday morning following an update on the company's ongoing Phase 2 trial of TH-302 (403 Trial) in soft tissue sarcoma. The drug in combination with doxorubicin demonstrated a median progression free survival (PFS) of 6.7 months, a median overall survival (OS) of 21.5 months, and an acceptable safety profile. In a single-arm component of the study (roughly half of the total patient population) patients continued treatment with TH-302 as a single agent following the doxorubicin combination treatment; median PFS was 3.7 months, and median OS was 18.0 months in the maintenance extension. The Phase 2 supports the ongoing Phase 3 '406 Trial', in which TH-302 plus doxorubicin is being compared to doxorubicin alone as a first-line soft tissue sarcoma treatment; interim data is expected in 1H13. That trial is being carried out under a Special Protocol Assessment with the FDA.
Threshold, however, bears the brunt of upcoming trial results from multiple competitors. Continue reading here.

Good Day to All,
My wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer clear cell and staged 1c .Her ca 125 was 119 went down to 64 on her 3rd chemo
She had a complete hysterectomy and the doctors took out also her appendix and ommentum and both ovaries
We were hoping that maybe somebody could advice why her ca 125 on her fourth chemo it was 58.08 and on the fifth went up slightly to 58.38. now going into her last chemo we did another ca test and was surprised it is now 61.98.
We are trembling at the notion that her chemo is not taking effect and that the cancer cells are multiplying again.
Does anybody here have any kind of info that can share with us. We are very nervous and hope that this is just a missed test or faulty test or something.
Appreciate any info anybody could share.
thanks and more power to the group
Jun 10, 2008 - 1:08 pm
Welcome to this discussion group Max. Basically, the CA 125 is a good marker for some (me) and not so good for others. That is the way I understand it. What chemo is your wife on? Taxol plus carboplatin? I am Stage IV papilliary carcinoma and have been on chemo since the end of March,2007. The CA stands for cancer antibodies and the reading may have something to do with how one's body produces this specific antibodies. That is why they say it is not a definitive test. At stage 1c, I wouldn't worry too much about it until I had to. (Hugs) Saundra
Jun 11, 2008 - 3:55 am
Dear Saundra,
Jun 10, 2008 - 7:30 pm
Welcome to this site Max. You will find great sources of information hear and everyone will be thinking of you and your wife and sending good thoughts your way.
I was diagnosed last July with Stage IIIC. My starting CA 125 was 1660 and after surgery and 1 dose of chemo 25 - lowest was 6, then a bump to 9. According to almost everything you read it is a great marker - but so many things can make it go up and down. Stress, an infection, etc, etc. Once I knew what the numbers meant though I remember praying every single time that it would be good news. I go in next week for my 2nd follow up appointment since being off chemo (Dec 29)and I have myself freaked out already. Just stay focused, have faith in your doctor and remember this is your wife's life we are talking about. Do not be afraid to ask every question you have and make decisions after hearing the answers. This thing called Ovarian is just plain scary. Hang in there and keep posting - I'll be thinking of you.
Jun 11, 2008 - 3:58 am
Thanks Kris,i am happy to hear that your ca nos. went down to single digit .very wonderful and pray that it stays that way.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I think this is more or less an ideal victory tune. It's simple and catchy, yet complex enough that it keeps building on the feeling of victory, changing and building up right to the end.
I wish I could be more helpful in this review, but I don't really feel there's anything to add to this. It's pretty complete, so lets look at what works.
It's simple enough to be catchy, yet no part of it really repeats so it never gets old or stale at any point in the melody; the ear is drawn in right to the end. Pretty crucial for a victory theme; the player is going to want to linger and not race through the end of battle screens.
It's punchy and engaging. The constantly shifting beats and crashes (which I personally think works extremely well here) pull the listener in.
Finally, the song builds constantly and steadily, before ending on a gentle note leaving the listener with a sense of completeness (and any player coming out from a tough battle with a definite sense of accomplishment).
Certainly this song wouldn't work in all games or situations, but no song is perfect for all situations and themes. This song seems like it could work very well in a game with a cyberpunk or modern theme, or possibly any era set in the industrial era; the theme has a definite note of class to it yet the synthetic beats give it a modern, punchy flavour. I can't really put my finger on more than that without rambling, but it seems to me that this theme would match a game with a pretty upbeat tone, probably with teenage or young adult protagonists, with a modern, futuristic or steampunk setting. That's what it makes me think of when I analyse it anyway. I hope that is helpful; I'm no musician so I can only go with my untrained ears.
Your review was actually very helpful. You thoroughly explained what worked and now I can apply it in future songs. It's ironic how you say you aren't a musician, yet you know so much about music.
Thanks for the very comprehensive review!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I love the melodies and instruments. The snare that comes in at :13 is really quirky and cool, too. It's very smooth-flowing and catchy. I thought you overused the crashes a bit after around 30 seconds in, though. Otherwise, it's very melodic, cute, and funky! I love it! ;D
I know, I have a habit of overusing crashes, I just get these urges to put them in. Thanks a lot
for the positive review!

Few sports stars shine as brightly as Cristiano Ronaldo, and looking through this collection of Cristiano Ronaldo ads, it's plainly evident why.
These Cristiano Ronaldo ads range from the expected (Sport-Specific Energy Drinks) to the slightly surprising (Chic Soccer Collections), each displaying the 27-year-old Portugese star in his element: in front of a camera, extolling the virtues of a new and inviting product.
Despite earning $16 million from his contract with Real Madrid, the marketing collected here in the Cristiano Ronaldo ads reveals where his bread is really buttered. Ronaldo's net worth is estimated at $160 million, much of that earned in endorsements for heavyweight brands like Nike and EA Sports.
Is he worth it? Take a look at the effortless charisma he emanates in the Momentous Soccer Moments ad. That specific combination of skill, look and ambition only coalesces in the most bankable of stars.

Took this saw on a BWCA trip after it was recommended by friends. Absolutely awesome! Never had it so easy getting firewood. This thing just rips right through deadfall. I was able to cut >6in rounds in minutes.
I also used it to clear lanes for deer hunting. Made short work of everything.
Highly recommended.

It was an invitation she couldn't pass up, and she oh-so-happily accepted.
This summer, Amanda Vistalli spent two weeks in Costa Rica to "learn about the culture and be a positive representative of our country by giving back (via) service projects."
The Antioch High junior helped with projects such as cleaning, painting a huge mural at a school and planting trees and plants.
Before going to Central America, Vistalli had to a complete a lengthy application process, which included recommendation letters from teachers and close friends, and an interview conducted by the People to People organization.
She said despite the large amount of community service work, she was thrilled to be there.
"We were able to help so many people there … It was such an amazing experience. We had tons of fun and did a lot of activities, such as white water rafting, surfing and zip lining through a rainforest and over a river."
Naturally, there were plenty of good memories.
"I hope to become a teacher, so my favorite part of the trip was being able visit the schools and orphanage, interact with the kids in a positive way, and donate the supplies we brought.
"They were so excited we were coming," she said, adding that although she spent just a few hours with the children, "I made wonderful connections."
In addition, she (along with the 34 other high school students) played "muddy" soccer at every school they visited and "that was a blast." And, on her 16th birthday, she learned to surf.
Vistalli also enjoyed staying with a local family for a couple days. "They treated us just like family, and we made several local food dishes."
The high school delegation hailed from various states. "It was such a great experience to make so many new friends from all over."
Moved by her experience, she said the 14-day trip made an impact on her.
"I traveled to some of the poorest parts of Costa Rica and it broke my heart seeing the way some of these people live; it had me in tears. It made me more grateful for everything I am able to have and everything my parents provide for me. Being able to have an impact on the people we saw and the children we visited made me happy."
After she graduates from AHS in 2016, Vistalli plans to attend a four-year college and pursue a teaching career.
THE CURTAIN RISES: Rising Stars Boosters wants sponsors to "ensure the future of student enrichment in theater arts at Heritage High School for years to come."
As the Brentwood school's theater department marks its 10-year anniversary, the group hopes to continue to "enhance the progress" of this award-winning program. A news release states the mission of Rising Stars is to provide funding, support, help with opportunities and activities for the students, and "foster goodwill and communication between school and community."
For more information on how to become a sponsor, visit http://libertyunion.schoolwires.net/site/Default.aspx?PageID=2625, or email email@example.com. Membership is open to all, and volunteers are always welcome. For more info, call 925-634-0037 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bernie Ecclestone Backs Putin On Gays, Is Asshole, Surprises No One
Oh, Bernie Eccelstone. That zombie-Warhol-looking bastard. What'd the F1 Supremo do now? Oh, he said he "completely agrees" with Russian President Vladimir Putin's brutal anti-gay rights stance. As Putin's policies on his own gay population has led to widespread oppression and violence, this makes Bernie an asshole.

Jakarta: First Indonesian police were angry about a young cop's YouTube lip-synching antics. Then they championed him for softening the image of an unloved force. Now, after he put stardom aspirations over his job, he's been fired.
National police spokesman Saud Usman Nasution says Norman Kamaru was dishonorably discharged Tuesday after failing to show up at work for two months.
A video of Kamaru trying to lift the spirits of a heartbroken colleague by shimmying and lip-synching to the Bollywood hit "Chaiyya Chaiyya" went viral in April. (Video Courtesy: StudentiaLatini)
Initially, the top brass was furious. But their tune changed after the public rallied to Kamaru's support.
With a $100,000 record deal in his pocket, he recently told his bosses he wanted out. They said no. And Kamaru stopped coming to work.

Cases for Spring & More
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 11, 2005 - 11:52 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Sooner or later we will all be using BTX cases, but the change is coming slow. Currently we have several of the innovations being touted for BTX being incorporated into our current ATX form factor, though we are still waiting to see if the "You got chocolate in my peanut butter" idea will work as good for tech as it did for snacks. In this Enermax case that PureOverclock reviews, a wind tunnel to isolate the CPU fan is the biggest innovation brought from BTX, although maybe not for DFI users. Read on to see what I mean.
'To fully appreciate Enermax's design with this case, you need to understand the current state of form factors. There is currently a transitional period taking place. The ATX form factor (Advanced Technology eXtended) will eventually be replaced with BTX (Balanced Technology eXtended), Intel's new internal PC design standard for combating the ever increasing power demands of components, such as processors and graphics cards. Despite all these increases in heat and power output, the demand for quieter working environments from the consumer is ever increasing. BTX will attempt to address these crucial issues. The CS-718 is not BTX, though, but during this transitional period, BTX has inspired case designers to implement BTX style designs using the ATX form factor. Enermax is one such company.'

text: First, I realize this question isn't specifically related to a DB, but I know that many of you on the forum have years' of experience playing on stage, in bands, and working with sound systems. So I thought I'd ask here: I play two nights per week with a guitarist, and run my vocal mike through his PA. My DB goes through my own AI Coda. My mike stand transmits any time I touch it. Flick it with my finger and we hear it through his system. I'm using a Hiel vocal mike, but it does it with a Shure as well. I can "play" my cup holder that hangs on the stand like a washboard. Kind of reminds me of how "microphonic" the cable was when I tried the EAP pickup. Is it likely a ground issue somewhere in his system? Anyone have any suggestions?

No stinkin' human tells us what to do. One of my better trainees abducted a political leader and we replaced him with an alien in disguise.

GENSHAGEN, Germany (AP) -- The leaders of Germany and France pledged Monday to avoid political interference in a proposed merger of two French drug makers that would create a new global giant, even while seeking to protect jobs involved in both countries.
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and French President Jacques Chirac -- allies in opposing the Iraq war -- also stood firm in demanding bigger voting rights for their countries in negotiations on a future European Union constitution and tougher limits on EU spending.
Stepping up the push for a constitution, Schroeder and British Prime Minister Tony Blair will meet Thursday in Berlin to prepare for a summit of the three European leaders in Berlin next week, the German government said.
After talks with Schroeder on Monday, Chirac sought to smooth concerns expressed by some German officials that the hostile takeover bid by drug maker Sanofi-Synthelabo SA for larger rival Aventis SA could cost jobs in Germany.
Yet Chirac stressed he would not interfere. His administration has indicated backing for the merger as creating a major French industry player.
"These are private, market-listed businesses," Chirac told a news conference after an informal meeting with Schroeder at a chateau outside Berlin.
"Their decision does not depend on governments. However, the chancellor and I have made clear our very great vigilance as far as jobs and research centers are concerned."
About 9,000 of Aventis' 70,000 workers are in Germany, most at a plant in Hoechst near Frankfurt.
Aventis, formed from the 2000 merger of France's Rhone-Poulenc Rorer and Germany's Hoechst, is resisting Sanofi's $60.2 billion bid. A merger would create the world's No. 3 drug company by sales, behind Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline PLC.
Schroeder said he welcomed firms joining forces to increase their strength in global markets, but added that "these forms of cooperation should be organized in a friendly way."
"I agree with the president that politicians can have no influence," Schroeder said. "That means our main focus must be in securing jobs, both in research and production -- that is the aim we have and I hope that has become clear."
Schroeder has stepped in to save German jobs in the past, championing a 2002 rescue for German cell phone company Mobilcom and the 1999 bailout of construction giant Philipp Holzmann AG, which later filed for bankruptcy. But the government has played down its options in the proposed drug merger.
Schroeder and Chirac stressed their unity on Iraq, where both view with skepticism a U.S. proposal to involve NATO in peacekeeping.
