Across The Universe
By SAI81 (360 reviews) from Tonbridge , 06 Oct 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
In the late 1960s young Liverpudlian Jude (Sturgess) travels to the USA to find the father hes never met. He finds his Dad; a janitor at Princeton University and soon falls in with Max (Anderson), a college dropout. Jude and Max move to New York, where Maxs sister Lucy (Wood) soon joins them and she and Jude fall in love. Meanwhile Max is drafted, Lucy becomes active in the stop the war movement and Jude tries to become an artist. All while singing Beatles songs.
Julie Taymors directorial debut Titus is one of the strangest Shakespeare movies ever made. Resetting the play in Roman times, yet using modern touchstones like cars and arcade games it throws you into a completely imagined world and while, at times, it feels scattershot; it is proof of a blazingly original vision at work. So too is Across The Universe. The difference being that Titus works, while Across The Universe is one of the more complete failures to be released to cinemas in 2007.
The first big problem with Across The Universe is evident as soon as you see the list of character names. The utter thudding obviousness of using the names Jude and Lucy for the protagonists (and Max[well], Jojo and Prudence for other characters, to mention mercifully few) smacks of extreme laziness from screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais. This laziness abounds as they introduce new characters every few minutes, new storylines just as often and develop precisely none of them. These arent people were watching, they are mouthpieces, designed to spout unbelievably banal dialogue (Music is the only thing that makes sense anymore... play it loud enough and it keeps the demons at bay) for a couple of minutes then launch into the next awkwardly crowbarred in Beatles song.
The songs themselves are great. Okay so not all of them are exactly from the first rank of Beatles greats (For The Benefit of Mr Kite) and there are few of the fun rock n rollers that marked the bands early career but time has not dimmed the brilliance of songs like I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Let It Be or Strawberry Fields. Sadly the singing and staging of the songs is, at best, mixed.
On the plus side T.V Carpios rendering of I Wanna Hold Your Hand as a ballad about longing is incredibly well done, affectingly sung, and made me look at what I used to think was a happy song in a new way. Eddie Izzard does well with a spoken Mr Kite, to which he adds bits of improv (Come and see the show, weve got stuff), which were a delight for this longtime fan of his stand up. Evan Rachel Wood (continuing her admirable resistance to easy choices) reveals that shes got a pretty singing voice, and Dana Fuchs forceful vocals are particularly enjoyable on Helter Skelter.
Sadly for every well sung tune there are several that made me want to hack my ears off. Particularly bad is our lead Jim Sturgess, whose thin voice does nothing for these songs. Also notably bad are tunes like Let It Be, rendered as gospel, a terrible Revolution and the title track; which fails to meet not just the original but Fiona Apples wonderful cover.
Its not merely the way the songs are sung though. Its the way they are slotted into the story. Prudence develops a crush on Sadie (Fuchs), guess what the gang sing to coax her (literally) out of the closet. Jude looks at some strawberries, Ill give you a clue, the next song isnt Get Back. The staging too is often bungled. With A Little Help From My Friends has Max and Jude getting high with, yes, a little help from their friends. I Want You (Shes So Heavy) has Max being addressed by the Uncle Sam I Want You poster and a group of soldiers carrying the Statue of Liberty on their backs (what could Taymor be getting at?)
And yet, when Taymor gets it right Across The Universe shows flashes of her visual genius. The barking Mr Kite sequence and a solarised trip scene work well, as does a bowling alley song and dance to Ive Just Seen A Face, while a hospital set Happiness Is A Warm Gun makes a nice change from the usual literal interpretation of the songs, and provides a slinky bonus in the shape of five (count em) Salma Hayeks.
Viewed as a complete film Across The Universe is simply baffling. Watching it I kept wondering not just what drugs the people who made it were on but what possessed anyone to finance this in the first place and then to release this misbegotten pile of celluloid to cinemas around the world. Make no mistake Across The Universe is dreadful, but its so dreadful that theres a perverse fascination about it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Across the Universe
By ElGuiri (3 reviews) , 03 Mar 2012I have read the negative reviews. I understand why the guy/gal at The Independent didn't like the psychedelic bits. They are a bit odd. However, I am a Beatles fan. I was moved by a beautiful, well choreographed film and I'm not ashamed to say it. I usually agreee with the professional critics as I work in the film industry. But this time NO! If they can big up that pile of ..... with ABBA songs as its main narrative drive, what the hell is wrong with this? A lovely story and the music of a Liverpool group who didn't write for Eurovision! BTW, Go Humberdink!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

if it was a stage musical it would be fantastic
By aidskywalker (22 reviews) , 27 Feb 2012I was dubious about watching this as I read some other reviews, but I'm a Beatles fan and I decided to find out for myself. The film is not without it's faults but it is an enjoyable, romantic musical. You need to suspend belief and just go with it to enjoy the film. I thought the singing was pretty good and the re-arrangement of Beatles songs was a real eye opener, a simple tune like 'I want to hold your hand' became a song of gentle yearning from a shy admirer. All the characters have names from Beatles songs which one reviewer thought lazy, I disagree, names like the main character Jude, Max(well's Silver Hammer), Lucy(in the sky with diamonds), (Sexy)Sadie etc. Visually it is quite stunning and inventive. Now the bad points: It's too long, the simple storyline just can't stretch that long and after an hour and half you kind of want it wrapping up. The songs are sometimes just crammed in, i know the songs are there to move the story along but sometimes there was just no need (less is more was not on the film makers agenda). Characters are introduced from nowhere and not developed and/or forgotten about, mainly the character of Prudence, you realise she was there just to get the song 'Dear Prudence' in, once this is accomplished, she is forgotten about. The film also skips from one scene to the next and the viewer is wondering what just happened, one minute Jude is in Liverpool, the next he's at Princeton University. The most puzzling part, and I think the part where it starts to disengage you, was the trippy Mr Kite scene, which again, was put in the film purely to sing the song and add surreal Beatlesesque imagery. So, to conclude, it's good if you want a light hearted, inventive film but the novelty wears thin after an hour. This would make a great stage musical if it was edited down and re worked a little.- Was this review helpful to you?

A wonderful way to spend the long weekend is a drive up the Icefields Parkway and a weekend spent in Jasper. We did this in September 2011 and loved every minute. We managed to turn a five-hour drive up the Parkway into an eleven-hour jaunt through the sheer joy of stopping at every lookout, the Columbia Glacier and beautiful Sunwapta Falls. To find out about the places that we saw and loved, visit my blog from last year.
Peyto Lake
Things to do differently? One of the things we somehow missed was the hike into the Peyto Lake Lookout. Also, we unfortunately had only planned to stay in Jasper for one night, which wasn't nearly enough. We ran out of time to visit Maligne Canyon, which has a self-guided interpretive trail with bridges over the canyon and spectacular waterfalls. So obviously we'll have to make a return visit soon, only this time we'll plan a two-night stay.

New Principal Mike Potter
An Oxford University physics graduate and former Royal Navy Commodore who was made a CBE for services to training has been appointed Principal of the Guildford College Group.
Mike Potter, who in his naval career was Aide-de-Camp to HM the Queen and Commodore responsible for all of the Royal Navy's shore based training needs, aims to make Guildford "the College of first choice in Surrey". After leaving the Royal Navy Mr Potter was Principal and CEO of Wirral Metropolitan College (WMC), which under his leadership boosted its Ofsted rating, improved results and took a lead role in raising educational standards in the Northwest.
Mike Potter, who starts at the College in August, grew up in Staffordshire and graduated from St Peter's College at Oxford University. He then spent 31 years in the Royal Navy, including time as a submarine engineer during both the Cold War and the Falklands Conflict. He became Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Operations of the Naval Recruiting and Training Agency and his final naval post was Commodore Shore Training, responsible for all of the Royal Navy's shore based training needs. Mr Potter was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for services to training and education in January 2006 and from 2002 to 2006 also served as an Aide-de-Camp to HM The Queen. A Chartered Engineer and Physicist, Mr Potter has an MA in Physics, an MSc in Radiation and Environmental Protection, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Nuclear Reactor Technology. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology, a Fellow of the Nuclear Institute and a Member of the Institute of Physics.
At Wirral Metropolitan College, his exceptional achievements have included moving the College from an Ofsted rating of 'satisfactory' to 'good with some outstanding features'. The College is now in the 90th percentile for 16-18 performance and results overall, and one percent short of the ninetieth percentile for students aged 19 and above. In line with the Government's agenda for improving educational standards in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, WMC has been the lead for the Northwest and has won a number of awards under Mr Potter's leadership. The College is also the fastest growing provider of Apprenticeships in Wirral and the best performing Further Education College for 16-18 year olds in the Liverpool City Region. Another key focus for Mr Potter has been the formation of strong strategic partnerships in Wirral and the Liverpool City Region, reducing NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) numbers and working closely with the NHS and local authority to provide high quality, efficient and effective training. Mr Potter also chairs a number of leading strategic groups nationally.
On his appointment Mr Potter said: "Guildford is a great place to come to, it is a large College with huge potential. Some areas are already rated as very good and outstanding, but others need a bit of work. The re-investment over the next few years of £20m of savings will make the College's facilities first class. The staff that I have met are very committed to moving forward, which gives me great confidence. For me, the Guildford College Group, which is already the largest in Surrey, should aspire to being the best and I see an Ofsted grading of 'outstanding' as the first step on the road to much greater things. I am keen for the Colleges to build strong and positive relationships with the local community, up-skilling the workforce and helping people into meaningful and enduring employment opportunities. My ultimate aim is to be the College of first choice for Surrey."
Under the interim Principalship of Dr David Collins the College has already been making great strides towards being rated as outstanding. At an Ofsted inspection of Merrist Wood College's residential provision in February the College was rated as "outstanding" in all five areas. Ofsted described the College as "a thriving and purposeful environment. It is a very enabling and nurturing place where students' emotional well-being, past experiences of study and anxieties around learning are all supported. The extent of individualised and group support enables students to thrive and do well."
Stephen Caswell, Chair of Corporation for the Guildford College Group, commented: "Outstanding colleges need outstanding leaders. We were very lucky to find one in Dr David Collins CBE, our interim Principal since October 2011, who has done great things in his time with us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank David for his commitment and enthusiasm to date and also going forward as he hands over to our next outstanding leader in Mike."

The leadership of the Sierra Club, the landmark environmental organization, is enmeshed in a bitter struggle over whether to advocate tough immigration restrictions as a way to control environmental damage that has been associated with rapid population growth.
The debate is unusual in its intensity, even for an organization whose fractious disputes are legendary. It focuses on efforts by several outsiders and grass-roots members of the club to win seats on the board of directors. The dissident group is led by Richard D. Lamm, the former Democratic governor of Colorado, who has argued for 20 years that national policies leave the country open to unsustainable immigration.
At stake is the leadership of an organization of 750,000 members that has a 112-year history of pushing conservation and pollution issues into the national consciousness and federal law.
For weeks, both camps have issued charges and countercharges and the dissidents have filed two lawsuits, neither of which is active.
For starters, the executive director of the club, Carl Pope, said that Mr. Lamm's supporters were ''in bed with racists.'' An internal group supporting the mainstream candidates further contends that Mr. Lamm and his fellow candidates are unwitting blocking backs for a stealthy network of nativist groups that wants to take control of the organization, which was founded by a Scottish immigrant, John Muir.

BEVERLY – The Wild West is about to get wilder. Sharp-shootin' Annie Oakley will go head to head with the "swollen-headed stiff" Frank Butler in shootin' matches and even a singing contest in Endicott College's upcoming production of Annie Get Your Gun, the Irving Berlin classic. Updated in 1999, the show celebrates the cast of the Buffalo Bill Cody Wild West show and its main stars, Frank and Annie, along with manager Charlie Davenport, Sioux Chief Sitting Bull, and the "knife-throwin,' heart-stoppin' team of Tommy Keeler and Winnie Tate." Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 4, 5, and 6 at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, April 6 at 2:00 p.m. in the Rose Performance Hall in the Center for the Arts, Endicott College, 376 Hale Street, Beverly. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 for seniors and students of other institutions, and free for Endicott ID holders. This faculty-directed, Mainstage Production, will be the third collaboration between Chair of Performing Arts, Becca Kenneally, Theater Professor Penny Hansen, and Dance Coordinator/Choreographer Nicole Sao Pedro-Welch. "We thought it was time to do a classic 'feel-good' musical," Kenneally said, of Annie Get Your Gun. "After Pippin with its message of finding your true self, and Cabaret with it's dark look at humanity, we knew the community needed a little old-fashioned Broadway fun." Kenneally is the musical director and producer, with Hansen as staging director, and Sao Pedro-Welch as choreographer.
"We're a great team," said Sao Pedro-Welch, who always creates 100% original choreography for her shows. "Hopefully students and audiences will see the education shine through in all three areas."
Students, faculty and community members from the North Shore in the show include: Andrew Hankinson and Thomas Smoker of Essex, MA; Frank Corbin and Ashley Whippen (Dolly) of Ipswich, MA; Ila Bumagin (Nellie) and Becca Kenneally of Marblehead, MA; Joel Caron and Nicole Sao Pedro-Welch of Salem, MA; Penny Hansen of Everett, MA; Nikki Athas of Lynn, MA; Michael Saracco (Little Jake) of Melrose, MA; and Molly Geaney (Jessie) of Lynnfield, MA.
"I've been hitting the shooting range in my hometown to get into the role," said Katie Clarke (Annie Oakley), of Edgartown, MA. "A rifle has a real kick! It changes how I feel about playing Annie as a character."
"This is my first time on stage in any way," said Keanu Burke of Northhampton, MA, who makes his debut as Frank Butler. Burke does DJ at Spotlight Tavern on Rantoul St. in Beverly, MA, but it's not the same, he said. "I am really enjoying singing and learning my character."
The show is very family friendly, with 3 children playing the parts of Annie Oakley's younger siblings. Ila Bumagin (Daughter of director Kenneally) is just 6 years old!

-- President Obama has been repeating time and time again that Iraq meet -- ticket will mean the end of Medicare.
Their plan ends Medicare as we know what governor -- And congressman Ryan.
-- to give seniors about to buy insurance on their own their plan replaces guaranteed Medicare benefits.
With a voucher that -- keep up call.
But a leading physicians says the president's health care plan.
Is the one that will hurt seniors than most so here to break it all down for us from New Orleans is the former American Medical Association president.
And the author of this book the little red book on leadership lessons.
Doctor Donald Paul -- thank you so much doctor -- on -- for being with us.
-- any -- he really you're welcome let's break this down you say that Medicare will go bank -- if we continue with Obama care explained that's.
Yes in fact he can get that information from the latest report the Congressional Budget Office the nonpartisan.
For congress and by 20/20 two Medicare will go bankrupt it actually may go bankrupt before that because of the new health care law that the president.
Is advocating.
And what will happen we have 48 million people on Medicare now by 20/20 two.
We will have.
Then 066.
Million you can get those numbers out of the Congressional Budget Office.
And the cost of Medicare at that point will go up sixty.
I'm sorry to go up nine.
-- about 90%.
And so what you have then is a system that will fail so the president says -- does present system well.
The system's not going to work what we need.
What the Romney Ryan plan as saying hey we have to be fiscally responsible and -- got to come up with a plan basically who has this plan already all the people in congress like the federal employees health benefit program and yes he lost to -- loss of access to care absolutely you'll lose access -- care because.
The physicians up price fixed with a formula called that it's advantage dog in the sustainable growth rate formula based on the gross domestic product.
And so in the first quarter of next year -- physicians are going to be cut 27%.
-- small business folks watching this program right now if you would tell all your overheads gonna stay the same but now you have to sell you product 27%.
Less and so doctors aren't getting out of the practice of medicine multiple surveys show that they're contemplating that all our.
There restricting the patients they take that not taking new Medicare patients that's not the patience that it.
Take a little not longer to get in with your doctor and then -- -- point you made was no incentive to have real competition explain -- Yes in other words what that Romney Ryan plan does the same thing that they have for the folks in congress.
You have an array of choices perhaps a hundred choices so you get the pick and choose as opposed to a centralized plant run by bureaucrats far away and we also have this independent payment advisory board that's part of the new.
Health care law that President Obama has advocated fifteen bureaucrats are gonna decide how much money the cut out of Medicare and it's gonna come out of physicians' payments and sell what you end up as loss of access to -- There's been so much this information the president 2000 and not said that surgeons get thirty to 50000 dollars for an amputation that's why there's no incentive to save delay that is nonsense and of the president on -- -- the folks to but giving that information about oncologists surgeons put that up on their website I was like a doctor wouldn't do that -- actually they get 740.
211 fought -- that includes ninety.
Days oppose operative case go to the American college of surgeons website they said it's misleading and dangerous in law doctor with a conscience would do that -- -- absolutely thanks so much.
That well on us on Thanksgiving with that thing this morning and your -- if you wanna buys the little red book on leadership lessons happened that day thank you --

JEDD F. SAWYER was one tough hombre when he served as Upland's marshal and later police chief, from the city's incorporation in 1906 until his death in 1935. He had to be strong-willed because he had only one arm, the result of an industrial accident in his youth.
One day in 1912, Sawyer arrested Wong Ching, alias Yee Hop, who mistakenly believed he was dealing with an ordinary cop.
The "Clever Celestial" (a newspaper headline term for Chinese in those most politically incorrect times) had been arrested with more than $100 in opium, the newspaper wrote on Nov. 22.
Hop offered Sawyer a $100 bribe, no small sum in those days.
"Sawyer laughed at him," reported the newspaper. "Hop started a regular auction bidder's line, running the price up to $310. When Sawyer refused to fall, Hop gave up in disgust."
Before he was sent to federal authorities in Los Angeles, Hop gave the Upland lawman a real compliment: "Sawyer, him no make good New York policeman."
MEMORY IS A tough thing to lose, especially when you forget the name of your wife - and you're in court accused of bigamy.
Consider the case of Claude Monckton, arrested in 1920 when his wife - Violet Olson of Chino (actually his third wife) - discovered a letter from wife No. 1, according to the newspaper account,
When he came to trial in May 1921, Monckton told Judge Rex B. Goodcell in San Bernardino that he was a victim of amnesia. He had married a woman in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1912, and two years later went to war in Europe.
Apparently forgetting about his Canadian bride, he married wife No. 2 in Los Angeles in 1919, but, he told the judge, he didn't remember much about her except her first name was Madge or something.
After these two apparently less-than-memorable nuptials, he wed Violet, 19, in June 1920.
It wasn't until several months later that his memory miraculously returned. Three doctors who had examined him told the judge it was possible that Monckton did have amnesia considering the savage battles he fought in during World War I.
The judge ordered Monckton to undergo medical observation at the county hospital for 60 days. He had that long to convince doctors he really couldn't remember his first two brides, otherwise he was off to San Quentin.
For No. 3, Violet, there was no doubt about Monckton's future.
"He ought to be put where he couldn't fool any more girls," she told the judge.
BEFORE CELLPHONES, power windows and hair dryers, people just had a lot simpler ways of solving problems.
Ontario's Marshal W.O. Hardy claimed in late summer 1924 that he never felt hot no matter how warm it got.
"Marshal Hardy discovered (a) way of keeping cool several years ago when a friend of his looked at a thermometer ... and began perspiring fiercely the next minute."
He told the newspaper his solution to staying cool: Don't look at the thermometer.
JUST BEFORE Thanksgiving 1912, an article indicated the elimination of girls' basketball in the Citrus Belt League as Pomona was the only high school willing to field a team for the coming season.
The reason was not a shortage of funds or players but rather the fact that in those pre-women's liberation times a young lady was judged far more on decorum and grace than being able to sink a 20-footer.
"Chino (High) decided that basketball was too unladylike as a regular game and dropped it," said the newspaper. "Now Chaffey won't play it because the keen competition makes the game too strenuous."
And it might take them away from home economics studies, perhaps?
ON APRIL 13, 1921, a Superior Court jury in San Bernardino made a somewhat suspicious decision in an auto-theft case.
Ontario's Jack Pettus had come out of the movies in San Bernardino a few days earlier and found his car missing. It was later found near Riverside with Manuel Grana behind the wheel.
Grana proclaimed his innocence, claiming a stranger gave him $3 to drive the car from San Bernardino to March Field.
The jury ultimately accepted the accused's explanation, though with tongue in cheek.
"The jury believed Grana's story and returned a verdict of `We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty,"' wrote the newspaper the next day. But the foreman then turned to Grana and said, "But don't do it again."

Stuart, FL- The Martin County Elections Center today launched a free Martin Votes App, which allows citizens to access their voter information, request a Vote By Mail ballot, track their ballot, and contact the Elections Center.
"With technology continuing to emerge and the 2014 gubernatorial elections approaching, my staff and I are working hard to provide additional tools to keep our voters informed with current elections information," said Vicki Davis, Martin County Supervisor of Elections. "The Martin Votes App puts election information in the palm of voters' hands, to provide them easy access to update and verify their information."
The free app is designed for iPhones and iPads. Features include:
· Ability to update your address
· Locate your Martin County polling precinct
· Access 2014 election dates & early voting information
· View a sample ballot
· Complete a Poll Worker application
The Martin Votes App can be found in the Apple App Store by searching for Martin Votes.
The Martin Votes App was created in-house by Lester Bird, Deputy of Voter Services.
"I encourage all smartphone users to take advantage of this new App," said Davis.
For more information on the Martin Votes App, call the Elections Center

Test Procedure
Performing a CardioChek test couldn't be easier.
Collect 4µl blood sample
Insert sample collector into the Quo-Test cartridge
Insert cartridge into the analyser. Results available within 4 minutes. Simple!
How long does it take to perform a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test?
Once a blood sample has been obtained results are reported within 4 minutes.
How much blood is required?
Just 4μL is required from a finger prick, capillary or venous sample.
What technology is being used?
Quo-Test uses a patented Boronate Fluorescence Quenching Technology (BFQT) associated with simple yet powerful multiple optical measurements.
What is the benefit of BFQT?
Based on well documented boronate affinity for glycated hemoglobin, the BFQT has similar performances as the boronate affinity chromatography systems used in reference laboratories. However, as it does not require physical separation it assures a simple, fast and accurate measurement.
The Quo-Test system using the BFQT has the advantage of not being affected by hemoglobin variants, labile glycated hemoglobin or hematocrit levels.
How are results reported?
Results are displayed on the digital display and reported in IFCC and DCCT values. Mono-S or JDS aligned values are also available.
Does it store patient results?
Yes, the Quo-Test can store up to 7,000 results which can be downloaded to a PC via a USB cable.
Does the instrument have a NGSP certification?
Yes, the Quo-Test analyser has been certified to the NGSP standard.
What is NGSP certification?
In an effort to standardise glycated hemoglobin testing the AACC and the IFCC have set up NGSP to calibrate and certify laboratories and manufacturers to the same standards and therefore reduce differences in results from lab to lab and instrument to instrument.
Although systems today give much more standardised results, differences can still be observed among technologies as well as between individual systems either because of the underlying different technologies (ion exchange versus boronate affinity for example) due to calibration drifts or other historical reasons.
This may result in differences in reported values. BHR Diagnostics follows the recommendations of the IFCC and NGSP to ensure that our instruments and reagents are accurately aligned and calibrated according to their reference methods.
Can the Quo-Test be used in laboratories?
Yes, although the Quo-Test has been developed to be used in a point of care setting it is a professional product providing laboratory level accuracy.
Is there a warranty period?
Yes, all Quo-Test analysers carry a 12 month worldwide warranty.
What languages are featured on the device?
Quo-Test can be set up in English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian and Spanish. A modified version of the device has Chinese. Ask your BHR representative for details.
Where is the BHR Quo-Test HbA1c analyser produced?
It is assembled in Surrey, UK.

STOCKHOLM - Americans James Rothman and Randy Schekman and German-born researcher Thomas Suedhof won the 2013 Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday for discoveries on how hormones, enzymes and other key substances are transported within cells.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up amid hundreds of worshippers at a historic church in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday, killing 78 people in the deadliest-ever attack against the country's Christian minority.
NAIROBI, Kenya - Four thunderous explosions rattled Nairobi's upscale mall Monday, part of a battle between Kenyan troops and al-Qaida-linked terrorists. Top Kenyan officials said two hostage takers, part of "a multinational collection from all over the world," had been killed.
WASHINGTON - The presidents of America and Iran may meet briefly next week for the first time, marking a symbolic but significant step toward easing their countries' tense relationship. An exchange of letters between the leaders already has raised expectations for a thaw in relations, and any progress in dismantling Syria's chemical weapons stockpile could signal whether their elusive diplomacy will last longer than a handshake.
LONDON - The little prince was in need of a name, and now, by George, he's got one. Make that three: George Alexander Louis. The announcement Wednesday that Prince William and his wife, Kate, had selected a moniker steeped in British history came as royal officials said the new parents were seeking quiet family time away from the flashbulbs and frenzy that accompanied the birth of their first child. While the news put to rest ...
LONDON - A beaming Prince William and his wife, Kate, emerged from a London hospital on Tuesday with their newborn baby boy, presenting the world with a first glimpse of the prince who is third in line to the British throne.
LONDON - It's a boy! Prince William's wife, Kate, has given birth to a prince who is now third in line to the British throne. The child was born Monday afternoon, after many Britons woke up to the news that Kate, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, had gone into labor with the couple's first child. The royal birth announcement said the boy was born at 4:24 p.m. weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. William ...
ZAATARI, Jordan - Angry Syrian refugees confronted U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday with demands for the United States and the international community to do more to help opponents of President Bashar Assad's regime, venting frustration at perceived inaction on their behalf.
HAVANA - Cuba's explanation that it buried antiquated weapons systems under thousands of tons of sugar and sent them back to North Korea for repair is potentially credible but leaves troubling questions unresolved, international arms experts said Wednesday.
KABUL, Afghanistan - President George W. Bush wrapped up a whirlwind trip to two war zones Monday that in many ways was a victory lap without a clear victory. A signature event occurred when an Iraqi reporter hurled two shoes at Bush, an incident the president called "a bizarre moment."
TAL KAEEF, Iraq - Young Christian women in tight jeans mingle easily with Arab matrons draped in black, head-to-toe robes. Both church spires and mosque minarets rise above the low-slung houses. Violence is rare.
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Somali pirates have taken their greatest prize - a Saudi-flagged supertanker with $100 million of crude oil - farther offshore in what appears to be a rare defensive move following threats by Islamic insurgents.
BANGKOK, Thailand - Anti-government demonstrators swarmed Bangkok's international airport late Tuesday, halting departing flights, as opponents and supporters of Thailand's government fought in the streets of the city.
KIBATI, Congo - A cholera outbreak in a sprawling refugee camp has spread to eastern Congo's provincial capital of Goma, increasing fears of an epidemic amid a tense standoff between troops and rebels.
PETIONVILLE, Haiti - U.S., French and Haitian firefighters used sonar, cameras and dogs Monday in the search for victims at a collapsed Haitian school, but hopes dimmed for finding any more survivors, and the stench of death grew from beneath the rubble.

A friend of mine saw fun. with Panic At The Disco last summer, and she said fun. put on an amazing show that was totally diluted by the amount of thirteen year old scene queens drinking, smoking, and generally being embarassing to be around.
Guess fun. figured they have a, ahem, "expanded" audience now.
Afraid nobody 'round here
understands my potato
They think I'm only a spud boy
looking for a real tomato

Despite all my rage, I'm still just Nicolas Cage

Q: What the hell is slub?--Pete A: Slub is a thick, irregular place in yarn or fabric, and definitely adheres to the MB principles of artful dishevelment and none-too-neat. Unfortunately everyone has jumped on the slub bandwagon -- we've even seen it on MLB attire -- so it's headed post-peak and suspect savvy designers will completely abandon it for 2011. If you own it, wear it now while you still can.

Moody's Cuts Ratings Of 15 Banks Including BNP Paribas SA, Morgan Stanley Down Two Notches-Reuters
Reuters reported that Ratings agency Moody's downgraded 15 banks on Thursday, lowering credit ratings by one to three notches to reflect the risk of losses they face from volatile capital markets activities, but banks criticized the move as backward looking. Morgan Stanley had its long-term debt rating lowered by just two notches, one level less than had been expected. The downgrade left Morgan Stanley more highly rated than Bank of America Corp and Citigroup Inc., but a step below Goldman Sachs Group. Other banks downgraded by two notches were: Barclays PLC, BNP Paribas SA, Royal Bank of Canada, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs Group Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Credit Agricole SA, and Deutsche Bank AG. Along with HSBC Holdings plc, ratings for Bank of America, Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and Societe Generale SA were also cut by one notch. Nomura Holdings, Inc. and Macquarie Group Limited were included in an original list of global banks under review, but have already been downgraded. The long-term debt ratings cuts could increase funding costs for Morgan Stanley and other banks, and trading partners may ask for more collateral. But the impact could be muted since the changes were in-line with indications given by Moody's on how much the ratings were likely to be cut.

Sources: Mayor Menino won't back Stephen Lynch - 0 Comments
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino and at least one major union are rebuffing pleas by U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch to get involved in the Democratic Senate battle, dealing a potentially lethal blow to Lynch's campaign, the Truth Squad has learned.
"They're staying out of it," said one influential union leader who has spoken with Menino and his advisers.
Other sources also told the Truth Squad that Menino is not planning to throw his support behind Lynch, which would be a major victory for his rival, U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Malden).

On October 29, 1998, a hearing was held pursuant to AS 21.06.180-21.06.230 to receive testimony regarding insurance coverage that insureds are generally unable to secure from admitted insurers for consideration by the director for inclusion on the surplus lines placement list. Written testimony was also received in accordance with the hearing notice.
Producing brokers are reminded that, under AS 21.34.020(3) and 3 AAC 25.030, they must use due diligence to determine whether the insurance is available from an admitted insurer. Due diligence will be presumed if the producing broker affirms that the coverage is unavailable and the unavailability is documented by the affirmation that the coverage is on this list. Nothing herein precludes the producing broker from applying for an exception under AS 21.34.020(4) when coverage is available in the admitted market.
This order replaces Order R98-01, issued January 12, 1998, and subsequent amendments.
Under 3 AAC 25.040, the following is the December 23, 1999, surplus lines placement list:
This order is effective December 23, 1998.
Dated this 23rd day of December 1998, at Anchorage, Alaska.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The 2013 season of the Colorado Springs Farmers Market is underway. Dozens of tents were set up at the Broadmoor Farmers Market on Monday.
"We've got buffalo, arts and crafts, health products and supplements, naturally fresh produce," said vendor Mike Hrdlichka . "You name it you'll find it at this market."
Beth Cichon of Colorado Springs says she enjoys supporting local business by purchasing good from the market. But she also enjoys the level of personal, customer service.
"I can always ask them what's the ripest fruit I can go to and they'll show me how to work with the cantaloupe," said Cichon. "They'll give us samples to show you're getting real stuff that's gonna be tasty an not just mass produced."
And for the vendors like Becky Anderson of Earth Cures, it's a chance to get face to face with with new clientele.
"Because of my company being an e-commerce company, which means I'm a website-based company, it's a good way for me to get out to the people since I don't have a storefront," she said. "And it also gives them a place they can find me every week."
So for six days a week, through the middle of October, you can sample and buy all the local products you can think of. Click (here) for the full list.

Interactive Rendering of Complex Landscape Scenes
This project is part of a larger cooperative research project which aims at a system for interactive 3D landscape visualization either in map view or out of a stroller's view. One team at ZIB and the University of Konstanz is developing a 3D player for interactive rendering of complex landscape scenes. In order to attain the demanded real time visualization algorithms have to be developed that
- synthesize realistic vegetation complexes from GIS- and planning data,
- reduce and properly depict highly complex geometry data,
- interactively render the landscape scene in varying levels of detail and graphical styles.
Further information is available in the detailed project description.

1986 Mercedes 300SL
This is an extremely nice 300SL in very good original order that has covered only 40,000 miles from new with a full history. The car is finished in Pajett Red metallic, a rare colour that really does suit this model. Other options include cruise control, rear seat, headlamp wash/wipe and a modern Becker stereo system that includes CD, Bluetooth and navigation.
A substantial history file shows how diligently the car has been looked after, the original stamped service book and many invoices indicate that any work required was always completed by Mercedes Benz dealers or respected specialists. The file includes nearly all previous and current MOT certificates, spare keys and the original handbook pack.
A good 107 like this represents excellent value, still very usable on a daily basis with supreme engineering and build quality, yet with wonderful balanced classic lines, these cars eliminate the compromises one normally expects from classic car ownership.

Kerr spoke to the full chapel of mourners, not only friends, family and fellow agents but also government leaders including Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.
In fact, the service was transmitted to several other Mormon churches across Arizona so others could also participate.
"Wherever Nick was his two daughters were always close by. When I say always I mean always close by. Nick loves his two precious daughters," said Kerr.
As his neighbor and friend spoke, he also mentioned Nick's love for his wife Christine and a poem Nick wrote while at the border patrol academy.
"There once was a girl who caught my eye, there was something about her that made me feel like i could fly. I walked through the door and there she was. Pretty as an angel there was no doubt a creation of god. she must have been," Kerr recited the lengthy poem that ended in a sweet proclamation to his wife. "I love you sweetheart."
Nicolas James Ivie died on the Arizona, Mexico border. He was 30 years old and had been with the Border Patrol for 4 years.
