These little beauties have taken us a little longer than we'd planned but we're delighted to show off the new Praetorian Guard plastic sprues!
We expect to be releasing the boxed set next week and you'll then be able to add the elite Emperor's bodyguard to your forces. You can pre-order yours here!
There are two sprues types in the set. The first is the command sprue which, by happy coincidence, contains all the command elements of the unit – Centurion, Standard Bearer and Musician. The Centurion, with cloak across his arm has two arm variants – one with gladius at the ready and another with the iconic Roman salute. This boxed set gives you two options for standards – the Praetorian signum and also a vexillum which will give you even more flexibility in how you build your Roman army.
The Second sprue contains the bulk of the troops. With innovative plug-in helmet crest and trademark oval shield these soldiers will stand out nicely on the battlefield, instilling iron into the veins of your force and ice into the veins of the enemy. As with any Warlord Games plastic set you'll find several optional extras such as empty helms, spare pila, etc.
The boxed set contains 20 multi-part, hard plastic Praetorian Guard and also a sheet of highly-detailed, full-colour shield transfers to bring your miniatures alive.
Keep your eyes peeled over the next few days for even more great release news and, if you've not already, sign up for the weekly Warlord Games newsletter on our homepage!

Like Homecoming, this was another comedy episode. But, annoyingly, it didn't have the emotional resonance or logical sense that made Homecoming such a classic. I know that Band Candy is popular with so many folks out there, but I never really got the love for it. It's amusing, sure, but it's one of the few Buffy stories that's essentially a one-joke hour. And once you get over the initial humor of all the adults acting like teenagers, it becomes kind of flat. It's nowhere near a bad episode, of course, but I'm not exactly a fan. And can we please stop the 'Willow and Xander secret love affair' subplot, show. It's seriously grossing me out.
The theme here is responsibility. Joyce is still having problems with essentially sharing her parenting of Buffy with Giles, and is pretty insistant in maintaining her rule when it comes to ordinary teenage hoodoo, like Buffy wanting a car. Buffy, too, whines that both Joyce and Giles micro-manage her life and has proved her maturity enough to warrant a little freedom. Of course, the big switcheroo that occurs midway through the episode results in Buffy becoming the responsible parent in this relationship, having to take control of a wild Giles and Joyce as they make out and have sex on top of police cars.
Anthony Stewart Head and Kristine Sutherland are clearly having a ball here, especially the former, who makes teen Giles a snarky Spike-esque Cockney bad boy. It's pretty wonderful. But after the fun wears off, we're stuck with at least twenty minutes of not a whole lot. I never understood the logic in turning all the Sunnydale adults into teenagers so a couple of vampires could steal some babies, while Ethan Rayne's presence feels entirely shoe-horned in.
There's obviously a lot of fun watching Giles and Joyce be sixteen again, but it feels like the rest of the episode was formed after that central idea had taken shape, resulting in a kind of choppy and scattered script. Some great gags and memorable performances, but that's pretty much it. B-
Guest stars Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers); K. Todd Freeman (Mr. Trick); Robin Sachs (Ethan Rayne); Harry Groener (Mayor Richard Wilkins III); Armin Shimerman (Principal Snyder)

I LOVE this ep. But as I agree with everything you said, I've always wondered WHY I love this ep so much. I guess it's 'cause of the fun. But the plot certainly does have some pretty big gaps. I never got why not a single 16 year old (and really? Were they all 16 at the same time? I think not) cared about the babies. Well, OK, Joyce got upset, but that just proves my point. Surely there were more people like her? But for me, there was enough fun to totally outweigh any of the holes. And if everything good that you mentioned wasn't enough, there was also Snyder!

Info About Physical Therapy Salary
The job of a physical therapist can be a very prestigious job in the society and the physical therapy assistant salary is quite good as well. Information regarding the salaries of physical therapists can be found by doing a diligent search on the internet. If you see the salary figures of the physical therapists, you will know why the profession has grown in popularity.
The salaries of the doctors of physical therapists vary from therapist to therapist. Therapists fresh from college or university would not be paid as much as the experienced physical therapists.There are variations in the trend of the salary but the pay package of the physical therapists is good overall.
The range of the physical therapy salary at a statistical study of the year of 2011 has been seventy five thousand dollars to as much as ninety five thousand dollars. The annual salary of the physical therapists on an average would be around eighty five thousand dollars.
Therefore, the minimum salary that a physical therapist could earn in a month would be around six thousand dollars which quite a handsome amount. The amount is quite enough to live a comfortable life anywhere in the United States of America. Therefore, a physical therapist makes quite a decent living.
It has been proven that the physical therapy salary is more than the average salary of most of the jobs in the United States of America by as much as 29 percent. The salary of the physical therapists in the United States of America is rising even more.
There has been a growing demand of the physical therapists doctors in the medical institutions all over the United States, which has given this rise to the salary of the physical therapists.
Another important thing is that the recessions of the economy do not affect the salary of the physical therapists and it is expected that the salary of the physical therapists are likely to rise by 20 percent more.
The salaries of the physical therapists depend on the educational qualifications of the therapists and also on the experience. The highest bracket of salary status includes a mere 15 percent of the physical therapists and the minimum salary status includes 20 percent of the professionals.
Only an average salary is earned by 70 percent of the physical therapists in the United States of America. However, it cannot be denied, even the lowest figure of the physical therapy salary is quite attractive and an average American family could be well off with those figures.

I shan't ever be a writer I think. I keep loosing my words, they scatter on my wooden floors, like the pearls of a broken necklace, and no matter how many I pick up again, there always seem to be some missing. And every time it happens I loose some more, until one day I will be left with prepositions and articles and empty stories that don't tell anything and nobody wants to read, while my words continue to live happily without me between the cracks in the floor and the dark, dusty corners of my bedroom.

Exactly how eighteen month old Wien Jock managed to climb into the space between the elevator and the elevator shaft in a two storey building in Dandenong, a Melbourne suburb in south-eastern Australia, remains unclear.
What is clear, however, is that the toddler surviving unharmed was a miracle. And only occurred because his father was able to cling onto him until he was rescued by the Country Fire Authority.
Something else is also clear: the design of the elevator was such that it was possible for a toddler to squeeze into the gap between the lift and the wall.
This latest incident comes on top of the tragic death last month of a 41 year old woman in a twenty-five storey office building in New York, who was crushed after stepping on board an open elevator as the lift shot up. In that case, the cause of the malfunction which caused the lift to rise before the door closed was unclear.
These types of incidents prompt questions about the safety or otherwise of modern elevators in office and apartment buildings. In the US, around 30 deaths and 17,000 injuries are caused by accidents in and around elevators each year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says. In England, according to a BBC report in 2010, Health and Safety Executive figures indicated four deaths and 266 injuries in 'elevator accidents' between 2002 and the time of the article publication, with a further 182 injuries occurring in shafts, service ducts and cellar hatches.
Put into perspective, however, these figures are not that bad. In Britain, the Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA) estimates that there are around 250,000 lifts and elevators operating throughout the country, with most of these making multiple trips each day. This means that the numbers of reported injuries referred to above are tiny in the context of overall lift journeys. Furthermore, LEIA says that the vast majority of lift accidents are minor, involving trips, bumps and pinched fingers. Elevator travel, it seems, remains a very safe way to move people and goods within buildings.
Of the more serious accidents, a large number occur from people getting themselves or their clothing (e.g. scarves) caught between the doors or between the door and the shaft. Indeed, a significant number occur not from passengers being hurt, but rather from cleaning or maintenance workers falling into shafts. Some of the most serious incidents result directly or indirectly from electrical and mechanical failures. The case of the incident in New York was one such example.
No Bruce Willis
Contrary to the perception sometimes crafted in Hollywood, the type of mass accident resulting from elevators crashing to the floor is extremely rare.
In the past, there were significant dangers associated with early hydraulic elevators which had only single bottom hydraulic cylinders, whereby a cylinder breach could cause uncontrolled falls. Over time however, safety standards were improved though devices such as ruptures and 'life jackets' (a device which, in the event of excessive speed, clamps onto the cylinder and stops the car).
Moreover, modern cable-borne elevators enjoy an excellent safety record. According to Wikipedia (though the online encyclopedia does not quote any sources for this), cable-borne elevators have an 'anomaly rate' of just one anomaly for every 12 million rides. Even then, many of these anomalies are minor issues such as doors failing to open.
In addition to being supported by six to eight cables, each of which on their own is capable of supporting the entire elevator load plus twenty five percent, modern elevators are equipped with a range of other safety features. These include 'governors' which detect elevator speeds and causes the elevator to stop (not so abruptly as to cause injury) when the elevator descends faster than maximum design speeds, and hydraulic buffers at the bottom of the shaft to cushion the impact of any fall.
"You've been watching too many Bruce Willis films" says Terry Potter, safety and training manager for LEIA. "Lifts don't plummet down as you see in films. It would have to be a massive failure" .

Bloomberg calculations show Greece with a 58% participation rate for its PSI so far. Key levels to breach: 66% in order for any sort of debt swap (and subsequent bailout) to go through, 75% is the government's goal, 95% the level at which CACs may not have to be activated.

This is our conclusion from our February newsletter-IWM topped that day at 83.31 and hit a low of 78.43 yesterday. The newsletter was saying to short rallies.-click on the link below to have the full report sent to your in-box. There Is still some timely information inside the report.
02/17/12: Many money managers are telling as many as they can to get 100% invested in the stock market right here and now. They may be right in the long term, but our intermediate term indicators are saying that you may want to move to cash or at the least lighten up your portfolio if long. If you are aggressive, you can look to short this market, but understand tops are a process.
Some large traders are making big bets on some type of volatility shock to hit the markets through the vix call options for March/April expiration. With the vix in a bullish wolfewave as well as a bullish rising wedge, they may very well be correct. If we see a volatility shock hit, it will have the indexes heading lower. IWM is trading within a very large bearish wolfewave, which also supports lower levels ahead.
The commercial traders are as net short as we have seen in over 10 years. With the large institutions net short and looking for a volatility shock to hit, if you are just a long side trader, I think you will get a much better entry in the coming months. If you are a short or bearish trader, we should see a very nasty nail biting drop hit in the coming weeks. Good luck

The debt swap that is currently the focus of attention this week relate to Greek sovereign debt that is governed by Greek domestic law and held privately. There is, of course, further outstanding Greek sovereign debt held privately that was sold under internationally-accepted English law and which therefore is outside the jurisdiction of the Greek Parliament. The following article discusses that further debt and the implications posed by this distinctive feature of such debt, whether issued by Greece or another EU State to private interests, will have in coming months.

I see it differently.
Either they do not manage the 75% hurdle ( their offer specifically states, that they will not make the swap if less than 75% participate), then they don't get the bailout money -> bad news, though they are apparently liquid for some months yet,
...or they force a CAC and trigger a CDS -> bad news, should make plenty of banks nervous. CDS market lacks transparency. -> bad news
...or they somehow claim the haircut voluntary with a CAC, without CDS trigger, thereby killing the CDS as a viable financial instrument. Why hold default insurance, if their trigger is prevented by very dubious means. -> bad news.
That small sell-off hardly constitutes pricing in the possible outcomes. At least not for Europe anyway. -
schatzi -
Why would "killing the CDS as a viable financial instrument" be a bad thing given the present form of that instrument? By encouraging massive amounts of speculation through allowing individuals and institutions to take out 'insurance' on the value of assets they don't in fact own, this mechanism encourages the worst aspects of casino capitalism to displace proper asset and risk allocation in the markets and makes these markets inherently unstable. -
I agree that naked CDS are bad news because they destabilise the markets (and are prohibited in the €-zone btw). But the original purpose of a CDS is to provide security for riskier bonds. Without the CDS instrument, how many peripheral bonds will be bought by private investors? I see the €-peripheral bond market jeopardised - or at the very least their rates make a significant jump should there be no form of protection available, especially after the behaviour of the ECB subordinating debt. I won't be buying Spanish bonds, will you?
Very interesting. The guy at Armstrong Investment Management LLC saying "No" to debt swap has a firm that manages only $350 MILLION total. Even if he was 100% in Greece debt, his money is less than 1% of the $271 BILLION debt oustanding.
Does he even realize, the press is gonna use him as a model for Hedge Fund greed? I'm really sick of hearing about Greece. -
He should say no, so should everyone else owed money by Greece.
Send them a message, you borrow, you pay.
You don't pay................people come knocking on doors.
This is the kick in the ass that the EU needs to wake up and force legislation upon it's member states, OR...... fold and throw the EU Model in the bin.
* EU Model should FORCE the members to give up "any and all sovereignty", and adopt ONLY EU LAW. This will eliminate any lower state courts from "intrusive and unqualified interpretation of higher EU Law", (as we see weekly in Germany.)
It would work MUCH better, especially when you consider the likes of rogue States, like Germany, who insist the rules are for EVERYONE ELSE, EXCEPT THEM.
It doesn't look good here right now, the mood is surreal.
It was reported in today's WSJ, that "European authorities may simply decide to pay them (holdouts) to be rid of the nuisance".
Please tell me there is a leaked document with this policy mentioned!

Christmas Candy
Thank you all for the special wishes and I wish I could eat some of those cakes!! But, its better this way as there are no calories just looking at these, LOL.
It was a lovely day with my DM and youngest DD and her family coming over for brunch.
We had a couple of inches of snow Christmas Eve and the 4 yr old DGS came in wearing his snow boots. He was trying to remove them so my husband told him to just sit down and take those babies off. The 4 yr old looked at him and with all seriousness replied "Papa, they aren't babies, they're boots!"
We spent some relaxing time with them before they left to go visit my DSIL's family, DH,DM and I then drove to my oldest DD's home and visited with them and saw what all the DGK's there got for Christmas and then came home and watched a Hallmark movie on TV.
It was a very nice day.
Hope everyone here also had a lovely day,

Barry Morse Movies
The son of a London shopkeeper,
Barry Morse
enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts at age 15. Upon graduation, Morse spent four years in provincial repertory, playing (by his own count) some 300 roles. In 1942 he made his first film appearance in
Will Hays
's The Goose Steps Out. Firmly established in London theatrical circles by 1951, he starred in an early BBC telecast of Hamlet--then left for Canada, where he would spend the next decade. Dubbed "the Laurence Olivier of Canada" by more than one admirer, Morse appeared with regularity on the CBC, occasionally producing and directing as well. He began dividing his time between Toronto and Hollywood in 1959, showing up in such American TV anthologies as
Playhouse 90
and The Twilight Zone. In 1963, he was hired by producer
Quinn Martin
to play the diligent Lieutenant Girard in the popular weekly series The Fugitive. Morse's post-Fugitive television work includes two weekly series, The Adventurer (1974) and
Space: 1999
(1975-77), and any number of specials and miniseries. Barry Morse's best performances of the past two decades include his interpretation of Menachem Begin in the American miniseries
(1980) and his hilarious turn as a numbskull American president (who happens to be a former movie actor!) in the London Weekend Television black comedy
Whoops Apocalypse
(1982). Morse died in February 2008 at age 89. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Writer and director Anna Biller takes a swingin' look back at sexploitation cinema of the '70s in this candy-colored comedy drama. Barbi (Anna Biller) is a beautiful but blasé suburban housewife whose handsome mate, Rick (Chad England), is more interested in his career than in quenching his wife's sensual thirsts. When up-and-coming actor Mark (Jared Sanford) and his open-minded wife, Sheila (Bridget Brno), move in next door, Barbi discovers they're more than willing to help her find the thrills she's been missing. Before long, Mark and Sheila part company, and when Rick finds out about Barbi's extramarital dalliances, he walks out on her. Free to do as she pleases, Barbi changes her name to Viva and teams up with Sheila to join the front lines of the sexual revolution, enjoying assignations with a dizzying variety of partners, including hipster artist Clyde (Marcus DeAnda), psychedelic naturalist Elmer (Paolo Davanza), experimental theater advocate Arthur (John Klemantaski), glamorous lesbian model Agnes (Robbin Ryan), and sexually ambiguous hair stylist Sherman (Barry Morse). But will Viva's appetite for the ecstatic lead her into dangerous and unexpected places? Viva received the "Best of Fest" award at the 2007 Boston Underground Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In this two-part cable miniseries based on a novel by Frederick Forsyth (hence the proprietary title), a post-Communist Russia is mired in chaos and confusion. Emerging from the crowd to lead his fellow Russians out of the darkness and into the light is the fabulously popular presidential candidate Igor Komarov (Patrick Bergin). What virtually no one suspects is that Komarov is a ruthlessly dedicated "old liner," who intends to return his homeland to a repressive military dictatorship, using brutal former KGB officer Anotoly Grishin (Annika Peterson) as his "hatchet woman." The only person savvy to what Komarov is up to is former CIA operative Jason Monk (Patrick Swayze), who takes it upon himself to save the new Russia from a horrendous fate -- and, incidentally, to settle a personal score with the beautiful but deadly Grishin. Produced for the Hallmark channel, Frederick Forsyth's Icon debuted on May 30, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Megan Follows, who literally grew up before the viewers' eyes as star of the Canadian TV series Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea, returns to the role of Lucy Maud Montgomery's plucky Canadian lass Anne Shirley in this four-hour TV miniseries. In the second decade of the 20th century, all grown up and a professional schoolteacher, Anne returns to Prince Edward Island after the death of her mentor, Marilla Cutherbert (played by the late Coleen Dewhurst in stock-footage flashbacks). Soon thereafter, Anne heads to New York City, intending to marry her physician fiancé, Gilbert Blythe (Jonathan Crombie), and, hopefully, to find success as an author. Alas, Anne's first manuscript is stolen by charming scoundral, Jack Garrison Jr. (Cameron Daddo), while Gilbert is defeated by the internal politicking and red tape of a big-city hospital. The couple is about to relocate to their native Canada when WWI breaks out, whereupon Gilbert dutifully signs up for military service. When word arrives that Gilbert is missing in action, Anne courageously heads off to wartorn France in hopes of finding her husband -- only to become mixed up in an espionage plot that also involves the redoubtable Jack Garrison. Originally telecast in Canada beginning March 5, 2000, Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story was seen in the United States courtesy of PBS on July 23 and 30, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A quaint small town that hasn't paid taxes since World War II draws the attention of an ambitious tax inspector in this comedy starring Billy Zane and Patrick Bergin. Putterton possesses all the charm of your typical small town without any of the irritations of modern city living: The crime rate is low, the cost of living is minimal, and everyone knows their neighbors by name. Everyone in Putterton is proud that their little corner of the world has retained its old world ambiance, but when beautiful tax inspector Caroline Deville comes to town the atmosphere quickly turns tense. No one in Putterton has paid a penny in taxes since 1945, and despite his best efforts there's nothing that George Putter (Zane) can do to bury this dirty little secret. Just as Deville begins auditing at will and the town teeters on the verge of bankruptcy, however, help arrives in the form of Consumer City President Vernon Fry (Bergion). Consumer City is a giant discount chain with stores all across the country, and Fry is willing to rescue Putterton from financial ruin if the residents will just allow him to open a store in their quiet little burg. The only problem with this solution is that the presence of a garish Consumer City store in town would most certainly detract from the old fashioned atmosphere that that has come to define Putterton. While George and Caroline may have their fair share of differences, the one thing they can both agree on is that Putterton shouldn't bow to Fry and his corporate Goliath. Perhaps if they could just find a way to work together, these two unlikely allies can ensure that Putterton doesn't become yet another indistinctive stretch of strip malls and fast food joints. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Their father (Barry Morse) is a wealthy, world-renowned painter, and he brought the three siblings (two sons and a daughter) up in lavish style. The three children have had a falling out over the years, as much due to their differing lifestyles as anything else. Gregorio (Carlo Verdone) is a radio disk jockey, freewheeling and not very conventional. Vanni (Sergio Rubini) is a very stiff-necked concert pianist, the soul of propriety. Finally, Livia (Francesca Neri) is used to being the center of attention and the toast of all men's eyes - which she hardly is for her brothers. In this domestic comedy, when these three individualist's father goes missing, they unite to find him and begin to work out their differences in a more amicable way than before. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Glory! Glory!
Glory! Glory! is a "roman a clef" of the Evangelism industry, with all the names fictionalized but with all characters easily recognizable to anyone who's ever watched a religious UHF channel. Barry Morse portrays a radio preacher whose operation is controlled by his honest but colorless son Richard Thomas. When Morse is promoted into a media superstar by savvy huckster James Whitmore, the son is left behind. All this changes when Thomas wanders into a bar and witnesses the performance of rock singer Ellen Greene. Greene's song
Sister Ruth
may be just what Thomas needs to rise to the top of his calling. Originally telecast in two parts over the HBO Pay-Cable service, Glory! Glory! closes out Part One with Ms. Greene becoming a powerful evangelist in her own right...a status quo subject to change when certain truths are made public. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Fight for Life
In his TV-movie debut, Jerry Lewis plays Dr. Abrams, an Ohio optometrist, whose beloved 6-year-old daughter (Jaclyn Bernstein) falls victim to a rare form of epilepsy. The traditional means to keep the girl's seizures under control fail to work, putting a strain on the Abram's (Lewis and Patty Duke Astin) marriage. The couple then learns of a little-known drug called sodium valporate, which has had salutary effects upon epileptics in Britain. Unfortunately, the drug has not been approved for use in the United States; thus, by utilizing the drug to save their child from agony, the Abrams are in effect breaking the law. The cause celebre that follows forms the nucleus of Scott Nisor and Tom Nesi's fact-based screenplay. Essaying a rare dramatic role, Jerry Lewis is excellent: in fact, he's much more credible than Barry Morse as the doctor who develops the miracle drug. Fight for Live was first telecast March 23, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Whoops Apocalypse
Tipping the scales on the Monty Python-esque side of broad comedy, this outrageous and classically British farce is a series of episodes involving the U.S., a small Caribbean nation, the British government, and the military. The American president is a former clown who dies after asking someone to punch him in the stomach to prove how strong he is. The vice-president (Loretta Swit) takes over and heads for trouble right away. A British island has been invaded by a Caribbean dictatorship and the gay British admiral sent to command naval operations takes a warm-hearted, 1940s-style leave of his "spouse." A Princess working as a nurse overdoes it when asked to shave a sailor for an operation. The British Prime Minister decides that if the unemployment situation could be easily solves if the employed would only jump off a cliff. And so it goes on and on, with some of the skits delving into more violent and sacrilegious themes. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Reunion at Fairborough
Filmed in England, Reunion at Fairborough served as the fourth movie pairing of Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr. Mitchum plays a disgruntled American, who arrives in England for a reunion with his old wartime bombing squadron. Ms. Kerr plays the local woman whom Mitchum had seduced and left behind forty years earlier. She greets her ex-love with the daunting news that he's a father -- and grandfather. Too verbose for its own good, Reunion at Fairborough fails to ignite the same sparks as the earlier Mitchum/Kerr teamings (Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison (1957), The Sundowners (1960), The Grass is Greener (1961)), but at least it's attractively photographed. Originally telecast as an "HBO Premiere" on May 12, 1985, Reunion at Fairborough was briefly released theatrically overseas. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Innocents Abroad
Filmed on location in France, Italy, Greece, and Egypt, Innocents Abroad was adapted by Dan Wakefield from the 1869 book by Mark Twain. The Twain original was an amusing, semi-satiric account of the author's Grand Tour of Europe and the Holy Land in 1867. Most of the humor derived from the contrast between the iconoclastic Twain and the tacked-on "reverence" of his fellow tourists. The cast includes Craig Wasson as Twain, David Ogden Stiers as a ship's doctor, Barry Morse as Captain Duncan, and-best of all--Luigi Proiette as the glib, effusive tour guide. Innocents Abroad premiered May 9, 1983 on PBS' Great Performances series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Master of the Game to top of Queue
Another of the many Sidney Sheldon novels given the TV-miniseries treatment in the 1970s and '80s, Master of the Game yielded a three-part, nine-hour extravaganza, with enough corporate and romantic intrigue to fill an entire television season. Covering nearly 100 years, the story (which remained astonishingly faithful to the book) begins in the late 19th century, when ruthless young Scottish entrepreneur Jamie McGregor (Ian Charleson) emigrates to South Africa, in hopes of accumulating enough wealth and power to get even with his longtime enemy, Dutch merchant Van der Merwe (Donald Pleasence). Thanks to an extremely prolific diamond mine, the money comes quickly -- as does vengeance, when McGregor deflowers Van der Merwe's convent-educated daughter, Margaret (Cherie Lunghi). The result of this indiscretion is a daughter named Kate (Dyan Cannon), who turns out to be the "Master" of the title. Upon attaining adulthood, Kate assumes control of her father's vast financial empire, ruling her inherited international conglomerate, and her husband, David Blackwell (David Birney), with an iron fist. The story continues into the next several generations, with Kate's lily-livered son, Tony (Harry Hamlin), giving birth to twin daughters, Eve and Alexandra (both played by Liane Langland). One is good, the other evil; the evil twin threatens threaten to destroy everything that Kate has so painstakingly built up. Eventually, they both become the victims of a sneering, malevolent gigolo (Fernando Allende) with a penchant for beating young women senseless. Told in flashback, the narrative comes to a head during Kate's 90th birthday celebration, an event tainted by the efforts of a mysterious killer to wipe the domineering matriarch and her family from the face of the earth. Largely filmed on location, Master of the Game was telecast by CBS from February 19 to 22, 1984. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Louis Gossett Jr. was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat in this two-part made-for-TV biopic. With 4 hours at its disposal, Sadat is able to trace its protagonist from his formative years fighting against the British occupiers of his country. The second part of the film is devoted in great part to Sadat's peacemaking efforts, culminating with his tradition-breaking truce with Israel's Menachem Begin (Barry Morse) in 1978. Lionel Chetwynd's script tends to deal in sweeping generalizations and stock characters at times, but the performances of Gossett, Morse and John Rhys-Davies as Gamel Abdel Nassar fully flesh out the film's occasional superficialities. Syndicated as an Operation Prime Time special on October 31, 1983, Sadat was an unqualified hit--everywhere but Egypt, where the film was banned because of its actual and alleged distortions. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Winds of War, Part 3: Cataclysm
In the third episode of the seven-part, eighteen-hour miniseries The Winds of War, President Roosevelt has dispatched Naval Commander "Pug" Henry (Robert Mitchum) to Germany, there to try to reason with the power-mad Adolf Hitler (Gunter Meisner), whose army has just invaded Poland. Henry also confers with Hitler's ally Benito Mussolini (Enzo Castellari), who proves to be as stubborn as Hitler is obsessed. Also figuring in Henry's foredoomed negotiations is anti-semitic German banker Wolf Stoller (Barry Morse), the proverbial "smiler with the knife", at whose sumptuous dinner party Henry's wife Rhoda (Polly Bergen) almost forsakes her common sense. The Winds of War was adapted by Herman Wouk from his own novel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Whoops! Apocalypse [TV Series]
Imagine Monty Python's Flying Circus crossed with Dr. Strangelove, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what went on in the uproarious "black" British sitcom Whoops! Apocalypse. Three of the world's superpowers collide head-on in their efforts to replace the recently deposed Shah of Iran: U.S. President (and former silent movie star) Johnny Cyclops (Barry Morse), half-loony British Prime Minister Kevin Pork (Peter Jones), and senile Soviet premier Dubienkin (Richard Griffiths). The fly in the ointment is flamboyant international terrorist Lacrobat (John Cleese), who is determined to get his mitts on the all-powerful Quark bomb. If it is possible to invoke laughter from the prospect of wholesale nuclear annihilation, then this series succeeded beyond all expectations. Originally telecast in six half-hour episodes from March 14 to April 18, 1982, Whoops! Apocalypse was later pared down and released as a single "feature film" on home video, and was ultimately adapted as a genuine theatrical feature film in 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Cries in the Night
A low-key, atmospheric Canadian production, Funeral Home (aka Cries in the Night) makes effective use of the title setting, which has been converted into a bed & breakfast by Maude Chalmers (Kay Hawtrey) after the demise of her less-than-popular husband -- known throughout the town as "Chalmers the Embalmer." Maude's pretty granddaughter Heather (Lesleh Donaldson) arrives for a summer visit, and soon begins to hear weird, guttural moans and sobs from the padlocked cellar; before long, assorted obnoxious guests at the inn find their welcome revoked -- violently. Despite a nerdy deputy's obvious crush on her, Heather is unable to convince him that evil forces are lurking beneath the Chalmers house, and she decides to investigate on her own (instead of just hitting the road like any sane individual). What she finds there will come as no surprise to anyone paying attention, since this quaint little inn is clearly modeled after a certain well-known Hitchcockian motel... Despite this obvious twist, this is not a bad little suspenser, with effective camerawork and good performances, especially from Hawtrey and Donaldson (who resembles a buxom Ally Sheedy). ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Add The Changeling to top of Queue
Peter Medak's The Changeling is among a handful of films, including The Haunting (1963), Ghost Story (1981), and Lady in White (1988), that have successfully recreated the intimate, drawing-room atmosphere of supernatural horror fiction. After his wife and daughter are killed in a snowbound car accident, classical composer John Russell (George C. Scott) relocates from New York to Seattle to teach at his alma mater. Looking for a quiet place to rest and continue writing music, he is referred Claire Norman (Trish Van Devere) at the Seattle Historical Preservation Society. Claire shows John a large, sparsely furnished estate in the outlying countryside. He takes the house, appreciating its remoteness and the solitude it might afford, and diverts himself by renovating and settling in. He even starts to compose, putting aside his older work in favor of a new, sentimental piece for the piano. It is not long, however, before he begins having nightmares about the accident that killed his wife and daughter. Possibly because of this trauma, he is open to communications from the house's ghostly occupants. Pursuing a loud, repetitive pounding noise in an upper room, he stumbles on the apparition of a young boy drowning in a tub. Working together with Claire, John discovers frightening parallels between this vision and buried events from the house's past. Horror writer M.R. James once said that his goal as a writer was to make the reader feel "pleasantly uncomfortable." Those looking for a similar experience in movies will appreciate The Changeling as a gem in the horror genre. ~ Anthony Reed, Rovi

Chris Sarandon does the "far, far, better thing" when he tackles the dual role of Syndey Carton and Charles Darnay in this Anglo-American TV adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. The ubiquitous producer/screenwriter combination of Norman Rosemont and John Gay was responsible for this lavish, faithful cinemazation of Dickens' multiplotted account of the French Revolution. Featured in the huge cast are Peter Cushing as Dr. Manette, Alice Krige as Lucie Manette, Billie Whitelaw as the vengeful, eternally knitting Madame DeFarge and Barry Morse as the odious aristocrat St. Evremonde. Poignantly, the film also offers the late Kenneth More, making one of his last appearances as Jarvis Lorry, and the magnificent Flora Robson, taking her final bow in the role of Miss Pross. An Emmy nomination went to Olga Lehmann's costume design. A Tale of Two Cities debuted December 2, 1980. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Who catches in the Bronx?
By Jason Catania
New York Yankees
decided against signing a veteran catcher after
Russell Martin
signed with the Pirates, so spring training has been a matter of solidifying an in-house replacement.
With prospect
Austin Romine
optioned to Triple-A
Monday, as reported by MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, that means the duo of
Chris Stewart
Francisco Cervelli
are expected to break camp with the team at spring's end.
Manager Joe Girardi has maintained all along that Romine, who missed a good chunk of 2012 with a back injury, should be in line for a big role in the very near future, especially since he is considered the best option on offense. The Yanks need to determine if he can handle catching on a regular basis in the majors.
Cervelli is a career .271 hitter but has never had more than 266 at-bats over parts of five major league seasons, while Stewart is a better fit as a backup who provides quality defense. The pair will most likely split duties early in the season, until one of them takes control or Romine is ready to be called up.

Hey Guys,
In 9 Hours, I should be purchasing the Samsung LN52A850. A great TV (1080p, 120hz, 50,000:1 Contrast Ratio).
I've been reading up on the Blu-Ray players and seeing which one is the best. I keep running into the Playstation 3. Does anyone own one of these things? How does it work with 5.1 Surround Sound, upscaling standard dvd's, and how is the blu-ray player itself!?
Also, I have a Yamaha HTR-5890. http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/p...l?CNTID=200016.
Is there any certain requirements I need to meet for the true experience of Blu-Ray + TV? I know this receiver doesn't have any HDMI inputs (which is :(), but does that mean anything to me? So basically my question is Samsung LN52A850 + HTR 5890 + Playstation 3 = a great home theater system? Do I need to buy anything extra or UPGRADE? (I do have the RTI 10's, CSi 5, and in the near future FxiA6).
Please, any quick responses would be greatly appreciated!

Whip Tide climbs up the central inside corner of the cliff. However, this corner is guarded by a bouldery overhang at the bottom and a giant roof at the top. The pump crux, topping out, has given many a climber trouble, but grabbing the chains is a definite faux pas. Climb up the ladder to the ledge. Whip Tide is the farthest left route starting off the ledge. Stems and the sneaky use of an undercling allow establishment in the corner. From here, relatively moderate, but spicy stemming leads to the roof. Fear not, as the roof holds are some of the biggest in Rumney. Traverse right across the roof and top out. Originally graded 5.12c, the crux of the route involved a very powerful cross through from a gaston in order to enter the corner. The newer undercling beta may have taken the sting out of the grade.
13 bolts
It was a long time ago, but I think we originally graded it .12b
The most recent guidebook has it at 12c, but I would agree with 12b. Technosurfing is at least as hard as Whip Tide, if not harder, and Techno's 12b.
The victory whip from the top is not to be missed.... I found the whipper to be at least as fun as the climb itself.... To take the whip: 1. don't clip the chains... 2. have your belayer pay out a bit of extra slack... 3. walk the plank... You will hit the wall but not too hard at all...have fun....
new project for mike?....i think so!.... take the whiper eh!
good proj for you mike... work out the boulder problem start then crush it...
oh it will be crushed
Try as I might, I couldn't seem to make that lower crux getting into the corner feel any easier than a legit V5 (12c)... guess I needed someone to show me the sneaky undercling beta. I found this route way harder than Technosurfing.
perhaps ill get some video some day.... till then watch people do it and steal beta... it really does get easier the more you figure it out...
Watched a guy free solo this today...made it look like 5.6. Impressive as hell.
Timmy Deroehn? Man, I wish he would stop doing that. It is impressive how he has those routes wired, but I would hate to see or hear that he splattered. The odds aren't good if you keep doing that, no matter how good you are. Frankly, it always seems a little odd when people solo with others around.
I don't think that was his last name...I could be wrong. It was only my partner and I there....so it wasn't crowded...and it was clear that he had no intention of trying to impress anyone. In fact, when his friends showed up, he put on his harness.
I think another factor in how this climb feels different for different people is that I think the crux favors people with shorter legs - you just fit into the dihedral better (I know, I'm waiting to hear the dissenting voices). I'd never climbed v4 outside when I sent this climb (still haven't sent any v4s as a matter of fact), and although it took a lot of effort to send it, i was able to figure out a good sequence in the end. I think it's far more important in the crux to look at your feet as well, the undercling is key but it won't do any good if you don't put your feet right. before i sent the climb i had it exactly figured out where to put my feet with numerous different foot switches in the short 20 foot crux. you just have to figure out a way to use the opposition forces in the dihedral to your advantage. kayte knower had the best beta for the climb, it really helped me out so if you see her maybe ask her?

After his brother's fiancée is caught cheating, Amir (Dariush Arjmand) kills the woman so he can restore honor to his family. In prison, Amir is a hero. But 12 years later, when he gets out, Iranian society has changed — and no longer looks charitably upon his crime. Director Massoud Kimiayi, one of the few working filmmakers remaining from Iran's pre-revolutionary period, keeps his ambitious drama brimming with social and political commentary.
Masoud Kimiai (Persian: مسعود کیمیایی) is an Iranian director, screenwriter and producer. He was born in 1941 in Tehran, Iran.
Kimiai started his career as an assistant director and made his debut, Come Stranger, in 1968. With his second film, Kaiser (1969), he caused a historical change in Iranian film industry. The film became a great success at the box office and opened the way for many young, talented filmmakers who never had a chance in the industry before. His films deal with people in the margin of the society with his anti-hero characters that die at the end. Many directors of commercial films imitated his Kaiser/ Qeysar for about 6 years, but in the last decade he focuses on young antagonists. He usually writes his screenplays, using slang dialogs based on ordinary traditional people's dialect. In 1991 he was awarded a prize in 41st Berlin International Film Festival for his Snake Fang (Dandan-e-mar).This was his sole international prize, but he has received many prizes… read more

Hi Maangchi!!
I love your website. It is my go-to for Korean cooking and your recipes are wonderful.
I recently visited New York City and ate dinner in Korea town. My fiance and I had some spicy galbi jjim. We both loved it and are wanting to try our hand at it at home.
I can make galbi jjim and I know how to make dduk poki - do I just combine the two dishes when they're done? That kind of how it looked and tasted but I have no idea. There are no recipes online to give me details.
Any suggestions?

Lake Havasu City, Arizona
Lake Havasu / London Bridge KOA (Closed)
[ 3/10 ]
This was not as nice as most parks we visit. The office was closed, but it was only about 4:30 or so in the PM. A gentleman came in a cart and showed us to a site. I had to pay him cash without a receipt and change was not available, so lucky I had exact change. It was a pretty dirty and old looking campground. We only stayed one night. We went into town and got hamburgers for dinner which made me happy as we generally have a BBQ outdoors, but I just didn't feel comfortable in the site at this campground. A strange man sat in the RV next door to us just gazing out the window watching every move (kind of creepy). The grand kids did use the pool. We were the only ones here. They had a wonderful time swimming. I would definitely find a different place to stay next time through Lake Havasu.
Santee, California
Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve
[ 10/10 ]
WOW!!! Loved it!! Could not wish for a more perfect place to spend a few days with the kids and my husband. We spent 3 nights and were not ready to leave. Gorgeous place to walk. Seven lakes for fishing. One lake has paddle boats and the kids loved that. There are ducks and birds everywhere, which are fun to watch and feed. The walking trails are paved and picnic tables and benches are around different areas of the lakes and campground. We stayed in site #14 which I picked on the internet. We loved it because it was right on the water of lake #6 and we only had neighbors on one side. Our campsite was large and under a couple of big trees for shade. They do have a pool, it was a bit chilly for us to swim. We did use the laundry and it was very clean and updated equipment. Nice helpful staff. You pay each day to fish, but the rates were not bad, six dollars for the kids and nine dollars for adults. We visited Sea World one day and it was a 20 minute drive and easy to get to and back to the campground. Will definitely try to get back to this campground and stay more than 3 days next time. We didn't have bikes, but would be a great place for bike riding.
Flagstaff, Arizona
Flagstaff KOA
[ 8/10 ]
We often travel through Flagstaff and have stayed at this campground 3 different times for just an evening each when passing through. It is a beautiful campground in a mountain setting. They have helpful staff and for an evening to have a BBQ, relax and hit the road again, you cannot ask for a better place. We will definitely stay here many more times when traveling through the area. It is easy to find.
Zion National Park, Utah
Watchman Campground (NPS Campground)
[ 10/10 ]
We only had one night at this campground, but I wish we had stayed here a few more nights. We had the greatest site right on the river and the views were spectacular. You walk just a little way from the campground to get on a bus and tour Zion National Park. What a gorgeous place. There were kids playing in the river and the whole atmosphere was joyful, relaxing and family oriented. Very clean and very nice place to camp. We will definitely try to get back to this campground and stay a few days next time.
Moab, Utah
Moab Valley RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
This campground is nice and clean, the people were helpful and pleasant. We stayed here just for one night to see two national parks. We drove through the Arches National Park the day we arrived and the next day when we checked out we drove through the Canyonlands National Park. It was so convenient to both parks and the parks are really nice, so would definitely recommend if passing this way you take the time to view the parks and this RV spot is a great place for a night or two.

UAEU Opens Neuroscience of Language Laboratory
The Department of Linguistics at The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) today held an opening ceremony of their new state of the art Neuroscience of Language Laboratory in Al Ain.
This new laboratory's mission is to deepen understanding of how the human brain acquires and processes language. The laboratory houses a combination of behavioral and neuroscientific research equipment, included an electro-encephalography system which records electrical activity of the brain and allows researchers to track brain processes as they occur over time.
In announcing the laboratory opening at the ceremony in the university's new Research Building on the UAEU campus in Al Ain, Dr Steve Bird, Chair of Linguistics at UAEU and Co-Director of the research laboratory, explained: "UAEU now has the team and the facilities to conduct world class research into the neuroscience of human language."
The UAEU's laboratory opening coincides this week with the opening of a partner laboratory on the New York University Abu Dhabi Campus. The two laboratories have reached a collaboration agreement that will allow the sharing of facilities and researchers. UAEU lead researcher Dr Sami Boudelaa has been appointed a Co-Director of the NYU laboratory, and he will oversee cooperation and research in both facilities, and his UAEU colleague Dr Ali Idrissi has already established several collaborative projects with members of the NYU team.
Professor Sehamuddin Galadari, Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies, said: "I welcome the collaboration between UAEU and NYU Abu Dhabi as this enables better research in the UAE and Abu Dhabi, and it contributes to an enhancement in the learning environment for students at UAEU and NYU Abu Dhabi."
Professor Mohamed Al Baili, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences commented: "This is an outstanding historical event for the University that we have long awaited. This laboratory will have a great impact on research and student development in the university."
The development of these two research laboratories began three years ago. Dr Bird explained that "setting up laboratories of this calibre requires the involvement of many different people: scientists, engineers, and senior administration who believe that this research will be of great importance to the UAE and the wider world. It involves a strong and persistent funding commitment, and we have been very fortunate to have that commitment at UAEU."
The laboratory is not only being used for research but also for teaching. Dr Bird emphasized that "students in our university will now benefit enormously from having hands-on laboratory experience to equip them with the skills needed to carry on research in the field. There is no better way for our students to learn that through participation in this laboratory's day-to-day operations."

Old electrical wiring is being blamed for a fire on Saturday evening that destroyed the attic of a small central Greeley home. Battalion Chief Dave Einspahr said the family living in the small home was in the process of moving to the main house on the property, and no one was living in the space at the time. There were no injuries. Einspahr said investigators determined that the electrical system, which was the original, likely overheated while the family was using space heaters. He said the wiring ignited the insulation, which could have been smoldering for days before catching fire. …

Full description for The Music of the Sumerians
This book was originally published in 1937. Its author, Francis Galpin, has produced a thorough and carefully researched account of the music of the Sumerians and their immediate predecessors, the Babylonians and Assyrians. On its publication, this book was one of the few studies to concentrate on the music of the ancient civilisations of modern-day Iraq. Today, it still holds great value for all interested in the study of the ancient production and use of music and musical instruments. The work's chapters focus in turn on percussion, wind and stringed instruments, before exploring the musical scales of these societies and the roles that music and performance have played in their history and culture. Numerous photographic plates also provide fascinating examples of Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian instruments, as well as documenting the ways in which the performance of music was represented on the tombs and tablets of these ancient societies.

I allowed my then 9 year old daughter name her sister, when she decided on "Gabriella" I knew that was the name. My "Gella" is loving, Whimsical, Intelligent and beautiful with gorgeous eyes and hair.
One of my best friends is named Gabriella and I absolutely love her name. It fits her perfectly. It is elegent, goddess-like, beautiful and sophisticated. However, a lot of people automatically call her Gabby, which we both really hate. I think Gabby takes out all of the beauty and grace out of such a lovely name.
My name is Gabriella. I also have met 4 other Gabriell a/e's in my lifetime.
Hi! My name is Gabriella. My Mom picked it after discovering it in a book. It means "God is my strength" which is true for me. I absolutely love my name, and wouldn't even think about changing it! I love the High School Musical movies, and find that "Gabriella" was the perfect name for the character because Gabriellas are usually smart, friendly, kind, and sweet people with shy sides. I agree with a person who wrote above, people who have just met me call me Gabby, which I don't like, so I tell them and they usually stop. Ella is my preferred nickname, but most people just call me "Gabriella." Anyway, if you're thinking about this name, or just discovered it, definitely consider it!

CALIFORNIA (CTNS) - California has finally broken the cycle of constantly shuffling money between state accounts to ensure there was enough cash to pay bills on time.
The State Controller's office has announced that April was the first month since around the time the recession started that officials did not need internal borrowing to pay the bills.
But Controller John Chiang warns that the state still has significant debt to pay off.
The Governor's office estimates that, as of June, the state will owe roughly $28 billion to cover external borrowing and repay money owed to local governments, schools and other programs.

The foul smell of vapor intrusion is wafting through the environmental insurance world. Federal regulators say the problem affects 439,000 sites nationwide. By Matthew Brodsky
The words "vapor intrusion" evoke images of creeping green clouds and vile smells of sulfur and rot, mildew and decay. Yet vapor intrusion, or VI, is an environmental, business and insurance issue far more insidious. There is no green cloud, just pollutants from old industrial sites, volatile solvents, pooling and dispersing in the groundwater. Their often odorless and colorless toxic vapor seeps up through the soil and into the air inside the schools, temples and homes of distant neighborhoods.
Such was the case with the Redfield Site, an old manufacturing property in Denver being redeveloped by a real-estate company. Leftover solvent spills at the site released vapor that intruded into more than 395 nearby homes. The new owner of Redfield in 2004 had to provide those properties with air testing and remediation, while facing a million-dollar class action.
These two high-profile cases of VI were not the "threshold" events that woke up environmental circles to the issues, says Henry Gold, technical service manager with AIG Consultants Inc. In fact, according to a new book on VI coming out from Capitol Press, the EPA claims more than 439,000 sites are affected by these surreptitious emissions.
But the Endicott and Redfield discoveries definitely reveal just how widespread the VI problem is now known to be, and why. First, they revealed that vapors have legs.
"The structure that's being impacted doesn't have to be very close to the source material," says Gold. "You get a release, and the material flows with the groundwater, and then as the groundwater is flowing along, it releases contaminants into the soil as a vapor, and the vapors migrate themselves."
Second, these VI cases reveal that what was once thought to be cleaned up might not be.
"We used to think that you needed a lot of material dissolved in the groundwater for it to migrate from the groundwater into the soil then ultimately into a building. And now, what we're seeing from empirical observation is that that's not the case," says Gold. "The toxicity of certain substances is now thought to be greater than it used to be, and if it's a volatile substance, well now--holy smokes--we have to think about this at a lower threshold than we did previously."
When he says toxic, he means toxic.
"A lot of the material," says Patrick Mount, assistant vice president of the Dedicated Engineering Program at AIG Consultants, "has the potential to be a carcinogen. So we do have known and suspected carcinogens."
TCE, a solvent used to clean metal machinery and the source of most of the Endicott vapor, can cause headaches, lung irritation and difficulty concentrating if breathed in small amounts, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Breathing it for long periods can cause nerve, kidney and liver damage.
What's worse, solvents like TCE have widespread use in industry, Mount and Gold say. Seeping solvents can be left over from factories that make paint and electrical components, or do metal work or commercial dry cleaning.
"It really is kind of across the board," says Mount.
They are often used, and perhaps not handled with as much care as necessary. Kate McGinn, vice president of underwriting and industry relations at XL Environmental, says that smaller industrial operations especially could mishandle cleaning chemicals and other solvents, risking the spill that could cause a plume that could emit vapor.
"A lot of these smaller firms don't have the knowledge or perhaps limited financial resources, less manpower and maybe less regulatory scrutiny on their operations as opposed to larger companies," she says.
But if this problem is major, and environmental experts have known about it for the past decade, how can this risk of solvent spills and the resulting vapor intrusion still be overlooked? Decision-makers in the real-estate and business worlds have not really gotten a good whiff of the problem.
"The knowledge or education of people that are purchasing properties--they just don't have the background to decipher that," says Mount. That is, if they have even heard of VI.
"The other thing is, the state regulatory agencies are in different places along the knowledge curve themselves," adds Gold. "If you're coming from a state like New York and New Jersey, both of which have been fairly active in this area, you get smart quick."
"Fairly active" could be considered an understatement if you are one of the companies tapped by the New York DEC to "knock on your neighbors' doors," as Gold puts it, and tell them you have to test their air quality, similar to what happened at the Redfield Site and in Endicott.
Or similar to what happened with IBM, the DEC could take it one step further and reopen your property as a Superfund site, as it is considering doing at more than 400 properties.
"New York is the shining example of potential reopeners," says Gold. "New York's not alone in this, but it seems to be at the forefront of this movement."
The actual costs of VI remediation or prevention can be relatively inexpensive, says Gold and Mount. But what businesses can lose if their site is reopened are the years and millions of dollars of effort that they poured into a project to reach a fully remediated state--to get the coveted "no further action" thumbs-up from state regulators.
"In our world, the NFA--no further action--is a huge accomplishment for a company to attain. They think they're done with the problem," says Mount. "And even the levels might be low in the soil and groundwater, but these vapors can build up and get inside a building and potentially still trigger a problem," he says.
