This isn't the first time i hear that famitsu's scores are shit. Why is that ?? Bias or simply being dumb ?
Publishing benefits. Plain marketing.
Also it seems that farce of reality show called Cross Assault just finished with the oh surprise victory of team Street Fighter. I mean, how do you expect team Tekken to win if the fucking game it's SF4 all the way?
Team TK did nothing and SF team used TK chars to win, so yeah
But in all honesty, the team Tekken it's formed mostly with Tekken players, how they would stand a chance with seasoned SFIV players who might NOT know the new Tekken charas but know the engine enough? I mean, there's nothing in common with Tekken 3D gameplay and the new 2D SFIV-esque scramblefest SFxT is.For me, that Cross Assault thing was a farce.

The Gettysburg man accused of severely injuring another man by kicking him in the head was sentenced Thursday in Adams County court to one to two years in state prison.
Sedrick C. Legaspi, 30, was found guilty of one count of simple assault, and not guilty of one count of aggravated assault, and a second count of simple assault at his trial in April.
But the time he will serve for the assault will be tacked onto a sentence Legaspi is currently serving in Maryland for a Baltimore armed robbery.
Additionally, Judge Thomas R. Campbell revoked Legaspi's probation on a set of 2009 charges, and resentenced him to three and a half to seven years in state prison on one count of fleeing or attempting to elude officers, and one to seven years on one count of criminal conspiracy.
He now faces a total of five and a half to 16 years in state prison in Pennsylvania after completing his time in Maryland, where he has a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, his attorney, Chief Public Defender Kristin Rice, told the court.
Legaspi has 238 days of credit toward his Pennsylvania sentence.
According to court documents, in July 2010, Gettysburg Police responded to a fight on Chambersburg Street, and found Troy Luckenbaugh lying on the ground, bleeding, and being helped by several other people.
Charging documents indicate earlier that night, Legaspi had been talking to Luckenbaugh's girlfriend, Brandi Bolger. Luckenbaugh told Legaspi he should not hug his girlfriend, and Bolger told police shortly afterwards, she heard a "thud" sound, turned around, and saw Legaspi kicking Luckenbaugh in the head.
Luckenbaugh was flown to York Hospital, and suffered a fracture behind his left ear, a laceration to his mouth, a bruised face, and damage to his inner left ear which caused hearing loss and a speech impediment.
Luckenbaugh also suffered from short-term memory loss, court documents state.
In issuing the sentence, the judge pointed out Legaspi has a history of violent criminal activity, and said that the armed robbery in Baltimore was committed just days after his original sentence for the 2009 fleeing charges.
In that case, court documents state Gettysburg Police stopped Legaspi in November 2008 for an expired registration, and when Legaspi couldn't provide a driver's license, he fled on foot through several backyards, then ran back to his vehicle.
Police pursued him, and Legaspi met up with his wife, Tamy Legaspi, 46, whom he had called to pick him up. Police saw him get into her black Cadillac, and she drove him toward Maryland on Route 15, court documents state.
The chase exceed 100 mph at one point, Assistant District Attorney Robert Bain told the judge.
Tamy Legaspi was sentenced to 36 months of probation in 2009, court documents indicate.

I thought those of you who were following the thread on movies might enjoy this--My daughter teaches a speech class at University of Virginia and one of the things she always does is take the students to the outdoor amphitheater to practice projection. They are instructed to recite their favorite poem, passage, etc. This year several of the ROTC guys chose to SING their favorite song from Les Miz! She was thrilled. The guys were all proud of themselves until a young woman majoring in voice took her turn and sang an aria. They admitted she won the day! So apparently Les Miz is a big hit with men. We should have realized that already since one of her boyfriends from 20 years ago was a huge fan of the Broadway production and played the soundtrack everyday. | |||
Oh how FUN! Nice story to share! Thanks! | ||||
Even if it's a musical, DH will love the battle scenes. Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||
UPDATE on the "update"--My daughter reports that the guys continue to rave about Les Miz and intend to quote passages in the speech class. One guy is reading the book as a result of seeing the movie. Another says that he loves the play so much that he is afraid to see the movie for fear it will ruin the play for him. I can understand that (apart from my having hated the movie) because I thought I disliked West Sides Story until I saw a stage production in Boston. Turns out that it is the movie that I disliked. I think that seeing a live production makes it easier to suspend disbelief???? Anyway, I have now seen a version of WSS that matches the wonderful music to the story. I don't know that I will ever have a chance to see a good stage version of Les Miz, but based on my experience with WSS, I would give it a chance. | ||||
What a surprising story! We do not have many stage productions available, so we indulge in the movies and never know the difference for lack of comparison. We will see Les Miz this weekend, and we have seen WSS at least 20 times. WSS was showing in a local specialty theater with George Chakiris as a guest speaker.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
OTEC Country Notes
Marshall Islands
In the early 1990s the Republic of the Marshall Islands invited proposals from US companies to undertake a detailed feasibility study for the design, construction, installation and operation of a 5-10 MW (net) OTEC power plant to be located at Majuro. The contracted study was carried out by Marine Development Associates of California between April 1993 and April 1994 but no project resulted.
At a forum convened prior to the World Water Forum (Kyoto, March 2003) by Japan's Saga University and the Government of Palau (a group of Pacific Islands to the east of the Marshall Islands), interest was renewed in the possibility for OTEC installations. The success of the planned project in Palau could well prove to be the impetus required for development in the Marshall Islands and other Pacific Islands.

Sept. 3, 2013 — It's been a long, winding and at times bitter and contentious road leading up to the Sept. 10 recall election in Lassen County's Supervisorial District 5 — but now the moment of that decision has nearly arrived.
More than 2,000 (2,373 to be a little more precise) voters reside in district 5, and slightly more than half of those folks (1,211) are eligible to cast either vote-by-mail or absentee ballots. The remainder may cast their votes in polling places next Tuesday.
Lassen County Clerk Julie Bustamante advises voters not to mail their ballots to the election office after Tuesday, Sept. 3 because the ballots must be received by the clerk's office by 8 p.m. Election Day. Postmarks do not count.
Sept. 3, 2013 — During my favorite interview with Rolling Stone's guitarist Keith Richard, a journalist asked him why he didn't join the entourage that included the Beatles, the rest of the Stones, the Beach Boys, Donovan and all the other entertainment royalty who skipped off to study transcendental meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his ashram at the foot of the Himalayas in 1968.
I know it's hard to believe, but somehow, somewhere behind those glazed eyes and nicotine-stained eyebrows a coherent response quickly formed, and Richard simply said with a wrinkled grin, "Hey, I draw the line at maharishis."
I know how he feels. Over the years I've explored many varieties of soothsaying and encountered a number of kooky and not-so-kooky sooths. As a rule I don't put much faith in future trippers' predictions.
Sept. 3, 2013 — One of the most meaningful photographs in my life was taken Sept. 4, 1981 at Los Angeles International Airport. My parents boast grins almost stretching off their faces and me, at 8-months old, appear nothing but content to be sandwiched between their big hug.
I'm not sure at what point the picture was framed, high school maybe, but I took that photograph with me to college where it graced several dorm rooms and then it had a spot in several Southern California apartments. It served as a conversation starter with numerous roommates because of the significance that day held for my parents and me.
Aug. 27, 2013 — Every year the first Monday of September we celebrate Labor Day — the last big three-day weekend of the summer.
While the holiday may have started more than 100 years ago as a creation of the labor movement and unions to honor the contributions of American workers to the America, it has become the last long weekend for family fun before many schools start, the days get shorter and we all settle in for another fall and the arrival of winter.
We no longer celebrate Labor Day with local parades and speeches by local politicians and dignitaries, preferring to spend the weekend with family and friends out in nature.

We've seen many file-deleting utilities. Most are freeware offering "secure" file deletion by overwriting files on your disk multiple times until the data is unrecoverable.

Aastha Kunj Guest House
Aastha Kunj Guest House is situated at ranikhet. According to popular belief, Ranikhet got its name from Rani Padmini, queen of Raja Sukherdev, the local ruler. The queen when visited the place, was enthralled by its beauty and decided to stay here. The place, hence, came to be known as Ranikhet or the Queens Field. The region around Ranikhet was ruled by local Kumaoni rulers and later came under British rule. The British developed Ranikhet as a hill station for their troops and established a cantonment in 1869.

On another note, regarding the amount of injuries, sometimes it occurs not because of the training methods, but rather because the trainees themselves fail to take safety precautions. For example, if players are made to run down hill and they do it rushing down without maintaining a good posture, then obviously they are going to ruin their knee.
And why can't Gopi have ex-professional players as his assistant coaches? There might be an issue of flexibility. Some old coaches may be stern and are unhappy about Gopi being their head coach. Some coach may not even know the game as well as the ex-professional players. So what about it? How about me? I'm a coach here in Singapore, I don't have a coach's certificate, but I sure as hell can coach much better than many coaches here in Singapore. Heck one kid that I've been coaching for one and a half years is now wanted by Singapore's ex-national head coach, and that kid is only 7 years old mind you and he's already wanted to compete against 10 year old boys. My point is, qualifications don't always matter.
Why can't Gopi manage two teams? Hey, his club may have junior champions in the making, who knows? What if one of them turns out to be a man who can win the 2016 Olympics Gold Medal? Are you going to be responsible if that boy can't win the Olympics Gold Medal for India because Gopi didn't take care of his club simply to satisfy your desire to pay full attention to the national players? The point is, as long as he is giving his best effort to the national team, it should be alright. It isn't as if he's the head coach and he's allowing the players to slack around a bit while he manages his own private club right?
And I never said that its not important for the Indian players to qualify for the Olympics, I simply said that if they train hard for like three months to improve on their calibre as a player, then they can do better in international tournaments and make up for the lost points. And I think that this is what Gopi is trying to achieve. Which would you prefer, qualify for the Olympics and be able to play a better game, or qualify for the Olympics and play a bad game? Sure, the first option takes greater risk. But then greatern risk invites greater returns as well.
Here is how I see it, to be able to perform well in the Olympics, your fitness must be of a certain level. However, to be able to play at that level of fitness, you need to spend a certain period of time adjusting to it. One of the simplest example is that when you strengthen up your wrist excessively for two weeks without playing badminton during that time, then when you get back you're going to start hitting lots of outs because you can't control your power. And controlling your strength to your benefit is only one part of it. How about developing your game play to make best use of your new gained physical standard? It is not easy to change a person's game play. One of the hardest to incorporate is playing high quality netshots at rapid speed to the quality of how Chen Hong and Taufik are doing it. One thing is for sure, if you can't keep up with the top players when they play a netshot, most probably they're going to force you into a defensive play. And that is very unbeneficial with the current 21 point system and especially so against the Chinese.Last edited by Iwan; 04-12-2007 at 09:53 PM.

why he is not taking any other qualified coach, as you have asked...if he plays only politics not the game then which coach will be his assistant? he has a coach now..that coach 's chracter is quationable..he cant speak a word out in front of gopi for gopi knows all his "activties"
yes ,players must train but not train under some coach who has no calibre to train the higher ranked players..do u agree?
and these players have attended all camps in their career , why not gopi's?
players do fall by making mistake of themselves..if all players are injured in a camp..do u mean all players have not taken care? or wrong caoching results?

Having said that, there have been players who turned coach immediately after their career without going through coaching training. This is because they've gone through the training themselves, felt it themselves, and know what needs to be done better than the coaches themselves if they have enough brains to think about how each training they went through developed them. I myself never went through any training to be a coach. I just developed my training programmes based on personal experience and kept on developing it as I coach and see the results and kept on learning from other coaches and further developing on their program. There has also been stories I have been hearing of how Rexy pulled up Tony to become the player he is today, back when they were still in the PBSI training together. At that time, Rexy wasn't even a coach. There is also Hendrawan, who became the ladies singles head coach for the Indonesian team shortly after he retired as a player due to his injuries.Last edited by Iwan; 04-13-2007 at 01:17 PM.

Michigan Anti-Choicers Seek to Ban Private Insurance Plans From Covering Abortion
With all the various attacks on access to abortion going on in the country, relatively little attention has been paid to one of the more diabolical attempts to deny this access to women, especially low-income women. Twenty-three states have banned women from using their own private insurance plans to pay for abortion. Now Michigan may join that list, as lawmakers in that state are considering whether to keep pushing for a bill that Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed last year, either by overriding his veto or allowing the measure to be put on on a statewide ballot. Proponents of the law suggest women simply buy an entirely separate insurance plan just for abortion, knowing full well that roughly zero women will do that and zero companies will offer it, because buying insurance in case you need only one procedure is not how insurance works.
How can anti-choicers justify banning women from creating a private contract with a company that allows for abortion coverage, particularly as Republicans tend to hold themselves out as lovers of the "free market"? Well, we are talking about people who feel entitled to micromanage your uterus, but the nominal excuse is that since everyone pays into a risk pool for insurance, the fundamentalist Christians in it should get to veto your abortion. Unsurprisingly, anti-choicers are unwilling to take that argument to its logical conclusion, by say, banning Viagra for aging anti-choicers because feminists who pay into the same risk pool object for ideological and aesthetic reasons. Only women's health care coverage is subject to preapproval by a bunch of strangers.
As with most attacks on abortion rights, the primary result of this one would be to hurt low-income women. While not having insurance coverage of abortion is an irritant for better-off women, it's women who can't scrape together $500 or $600 who will really be harmed by this law.
Opponents of the bill are framing the issue as one of forcing women to buy "rape insurance," because if you want insurance coverage for an abortion in the event of rape, you still have to buy a rider that likely won't exist anyway. It's smart framing, as it gives you reason to oppose the bill even if you like to pretend you (or someone you love) would never need an abortion unless you were raped (because you aren't one of those women). However, it also feels like a missed opportunity, since pro-choicers aren't focusing on how anti-choicers have decided that you can't purchase an individually held insurance plan because some religious nut feels your uterus is public property. Being told that our private transactions need to be examined by fundamentalist Christians before they can be completed seems like the sort of thing that many Americans would object to, even some Republicans. But the phrase "rape insurance" is pretty provocative, too, and so Democrats are sticking with it.
Women Hate Sexually Explicit Ads, Unless They're Selling Something Expensive
Being an advertiser is hard. On one hand, sex sells (and sells and sells). On the other hand, women sometimes take offense at lubricious ads, and then won't buy your product, or let their boyfriends buy it, and before you know it there's a Twitter campaign against your company and oh lord. Yet a new study in the journal Psychological Science shines a light on when it's OK to objectify the female body in the name of Mammon. According to researchers led by the University of Minnesota's Kathleen Vohs, women find erotically charged ads less distasteful when they promote very expensive items. We like our objectification classed up, thank you.
In one experiment, Vohs and her colleagues showed 87 male and female undergraduates 20-second commercials for women's watches. Half the students were presented with ads featuring "majestic snowcapped mountains," while the other half saw ads drenched in "explicit sexual imagery." The prices of the watches varied randomly: either $1250 (luxury condition) or $10 (bargain condition). When the researchers took participants' emotional temperature after viewing the sexy clips, they found that women in the bargain condition felt "more upset emotionally" than women in the luxury condition. Women who saw sexual images paired with cheap watches also reported disliking the ads, while those who got mountains or sex-plus-extravagance reacted more neutrally. (In all conditions, the men were as the mountains: unfazed.)
Katie Couric Hands Her Show Over to Anti-Vaccination Alarmists
"The HPV vaccine is considered a life-saving cancer preventer, but is it a potentially deadly dose for girls?" This was the promo for Wednesday's episode of Katie, Katie Couric's daytime talk show on ABC. Couric, whose husband passed away from colon cancer, is known for being a relatively responsible journalist when it comes to health care issues, so despite this needlessly alarmist advertising, I held out hope that her show would demonstrate that no matter how adamant a very small group of people are that their health problems are caused by the HPV vaccine, there is no evidence that the HPV vaccine is dangerous. Sadly, my hopes were dashed as Couric spent a half hour of her show drumming up fears that the vaccine will make you very ill, or even kill you.
A History of Sexist Video Game Marketing
Why don't women play more video games? Perhaps it's because they're not being sold to us. In Polygon, Tracie Lien has a fascinating history of the gendered marketing of gaming, from the couples-friendly breakthrough arcade video game Pong through the hyper-masculine framing of first-person shooters, and into the more gender equitable branding for modern social gaming.
When video games were first popularized in the 1970s, the industry's central marketing challenge was to sell the same game to both adults and kids. Pong was a two-player arcade game marketed to couples in bars, then to families on Atari home consoles. Tapper was initially marketed as Budweiser Tapper in bars (players took the role of bartender and told customers "This Bud's For You"), then as Root Beer Tapper in family-friendly arcades (players manned a non-alcoholic soda jerk with the modified catchphrase "This One's For You"). Then the industry experienced a massive recession, and financial pressures forced video game companies to take a different approach. "Knowing that you have limited funding, you can't just market shotgun. You can't just go after anybody," marketer Rodger Roeser told Lien. "You need to have a very clearly differentiated and specific brand because that's going to play into where you're running your ads and what kind of ads you run. That niche-ing, that targeting makes it easier for marketers to have a very succinct conversation with their target without overspending and trying to reach everybody." So the industry put all of its efforts on catering to boys.
Chirlane McCray Is Deeply Involved in Her Husband's Political Career. Why Is That a Story?
A piece in today's New York Times describes Chirlane McCray's "outsize" role in her husband, New York mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's, political career. McCray and de Blasio have an extremely close intellectual relationship, and McCray weighs in on his appointments and policy decisions. After reviewing previously undisclosed emails and talking to many former aides, reporters Michael Barbaro and Michael M. Grynbaum posit that "there is little precedent in New York for the intense day-to-day political partnership that the mayor-elect and his wife intend to bring to City Hall on Jan. 1."
But maybe that's just because the last time a New York City mayor was happily married was David Dinkins in 1994, and Dinkins probably didn't have email.
Researchers Say Women Should Be More Active to Set a Good Example for Kids. Men Can Just Keep Sitting.
"Modern Moms Aren't as Busy as 1960s Moms Were" reads the headline for Olga Khazan's piece for the Atlantic. But the piece itself is less about busy vs. not busy and more about time spent moving your body vs. time spent sitting on your butt, and a concern that, by spending more time sitting around than doing activities, mothers are setting a bad example for their kids.
The piece is based on a report published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, in which researchers looked at all the time mothers with children at home spent not at a paid job. Unsurprisingly, now that women work outside of the home more, they spend a lot less time at home doing stuff on their feet. Mothers in the 1960s spent 14.2 more hours moving their bodies at home per week than mothers now, but that doesn't mean mothers now spend 14.2 hours more a week sitting on the couch. One reason women's physical activity time at home has declined so much is simply that women, on average, aren't home as much. Indeed, as Khazan notes, women who don't work spend more time on physical activity than women who work, though they also spend more time sitting down than women did in the '60s.
Will Smartphones Kill Femininity?
Ian Bogost's piece in the Atlantic about hyperemployment—a tech-fueled "commitment to our usual jobs and to many other jobs as well"—has hyperemployed a lot of brain cells and Internet pixels. Over at Cyborgology, a blog from the sociology department at the University of Minnesota, philosophy professor Robin James wrote a thought-provoking response in which she examines the traditional relationship between femininity and technology, as well as how that relationship might change as our devices burrow deeper into our work and personal lives.
Let's take her argument—a complicated, suggestive thought-maneuver—piece by piece. Piece one: We are all of us (the middle class, managerial "us") hyperemployed. We work incessantly, thanks to technology. Maintaining our office email accounts, our online calendars, is a job in itself. Off the clock, we're inundated in personal online business—emails from the PTA, Diapers.com orders—and lured onto sites like Facebook, which make money from the data we generate but fail to compensate us in wages. Bogost writes in the Atlantic that "pay is almost beside the point, because the real cost of hyperemployment is time." But the bottom line is that our tech-enabled extra obligations and commitments amount to second, third and fourth shifts on our existing jobs—all of them unpaid.
Most Female Journalists Have Been Threatened, Assaulted, or Harassed at Work. Here's Why We Don't Talk About It.
This week, the International Women's Media Foundation and the International News Safety Institute released the results of an online survey asking female journalists around the world to detail the abuse they've experienced on the job. Sixty-four percent of the 875 respondents said they had experienced "intimidation, threats, or abuse" in the office or in the field. Most of the abuse was perpetrated by the journalists' bosses, superiors, and co-workers. Forty-six percent of female journalists said they had experienced sexual harassment at work, including "unwanted comments on dress and appearance." That harassment was also overwhelmingly perpetrated by colleagues. Twenty-one percent said they had experienced physical violence—including being pushed, pinned down, or threatened and assaulted with weapons—in the course of their work. Thirteen percent had been sexually assaulted on the job—again, mostly at the hands of co-workers.
If you're a female journalist, these numbers are unsurprising. Pervasive sexual harassment and violence against female reporters, editors, and writers is rarely aired publicly, but it is an open secret in the field. The majority of incidents of sexual harassment and physical assault detailed in the IMWF survey were not reported to employers; 76 percent of women who met physical violence on the job did not report the assault to police. That's partly because bosses and cops are the ones responsible for threatening and assaulting us. A small portion of abuse and intimidation reported in the study came from government officials (7 percent of reported incidents) and police officers (3 percent); 23 percent of women who said they had experienced physical violence on the job were assaulted by cops. The majority of these cases involved men we work with. When we do hear about harassment and assault against female journalists, it's generally in the context of incidents perpetrated by people outside of the business (see: Lara Logan and Erin Andrews).
That doesn't mean that female journalists are not forthcoming about the issue. We talk among ourselves, naming names in private email threads, drinks outings, and anonymous blogs. This is our "sad coping mechanism," as Ann Friedman put it this year. Female journalists keep these discussions at a whisper because we know the men responsible are "too professionally powerful, too entrenched to really be held accountable for their behavior." This year, the IMWF found that men make up nearly three-quarters of journalism's top managers and nearly two-thirds of its reporters. The percentages are roughly the same in American journalism. Some sectors, like sports writing, are almost exclusively dominated by men. In 2012, 90 percent of American sports editors were men. If we ever hope to join their ranks, it seems safer not to challenge our superiors or our prized male colleagues. Sometimes, we are harassed while applying for these jobs.
Female journalists don't want to be abused in the course of our employment—the majority of abused journalists said the incidents had a "psychological impact" on them—but we'd also like to remain employed. Calling out these men publicly (and submitting ourselves to a "he said, she said" situation with a more powerful colleague) means that reporting the abuse could become a "defining aspect of the accuser's professional life, very likely wrecking it," Friedman says. The stories we tell each other may help us stay on the lookout for repeat offenders, and to be more wary of working with them—but of course, that calculation also affects our career opportunities. When most female journalists are abused, threatened, harassed, or assaulted at work, there are few outlets we can run to where we will not be forced to work with these men, or their friends and supporters. Some of the journalists who responded to the survey were assaulted by journalists with whom they did not directly work, but the news business is an erratic one. We could be working with them soon. And then we could be working beneath them.
So we keep whispering. The survey is still live; female journalists can report their experiences anonymously here.
Hooray for This New Study That Says Women Shouldn't Be the Only Ones Responsible for Making Healthy Babies
"Men and women contribute equally to reproduction." That's a statement in a new paper in the journal Gender and Society about how men's role in making babies has been culturally diminished. It is a painfully obvious sentence, and yet, it bears repeating because we're so fixated on women's prenatal and preconception behavior and health. For example, the most emailed article on the New York Times website as I type is about how women's eating habits affect their babies in the womb. But we barely ever mention how male behavior can affect sperm quality.
The paper, called "More and Less than Equal: How Men Factor in the Reproductive Equation," notes that since 2004, the CDC has recommended that people of both genders who are looking to have a baby monitor their health more closely—but in practice, this recommendation is generally directed towards women, who are now advised to treat their pregnancies as 12 months long. This means curtailing alcohol consumption and taking prenatal vitamins before they've even conceived.
Yet recent research has shown that men's preconception behavior also matters. According to the CDC, tobacco and heavy drinking can both damage sperm DNA, and we're just starting to understand how older men's sperm may affect their offspring adversely. The only venue where male preconception health gets much attention, the authors point out, is at the sperm bank, where men's sperm is scrutinized in a way it's not elsewhere.
ACLU Sues Catholic Bishops for Refusing Treatment to Miscarrying Woman
As anti-abortion sentiment grows more extreme, it's inevitable that it will start to interfere with the ability of women to get medical care even when they're losing wanted pregnancies. In El Salvador, the eagerness to arrest women caught illegally aborting has led to the government charging women who have miscarried wanted pregnancies with murder. In Ireland, Savita Halappanavar lost her life when doctors refused to clear out a miscarrying pregnancy, even though it was clearly turning septic. These doctors decided, under Ireland's strict abortion ban, that giving Halappanavar's fetus an opportunity to experience a few days more of a heartbeat was more important than saving Halappanavar's life.
While the United States has much more liberal abortion laws than Ireland and El Salvador, this extremism is affecting women's medical care here, too. Catholic hospitals, which constitute over 12 percent of hospitals in the U.S., usually require doctors to refuse to help a woman who is miscarrying until the fetal heartbeat stops on its own, which is the same rule that led to Halappanavar's death. The ACLU is now suing the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on behalf of Tamesha Means, who went to the only hospital in her area—Mercy Health Partners in Muskegon, Michigan—for help with a clearly miscarrying pregnancy. Twice, the misleadingly named Mercy hospital sent Means home, despite her suffering. From the ACLU's press release:

More fat than meat on that steak. Texas steak experience ruined not even the giant onion ring could save it. Good play not askin' how the food was.
Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Service was mediocre. The food came out in a timely manner...server was not very attentive. Drinks were good too.
Satisfactory experiences with everything we tried on two separate visits. The cold peel-your-own shrimp were tasty (would have appreciated better and more abundant cocktail sauce). My dining partner who is into chicken-fried steak liked their version. No reservations accepted, so pick less busy times or take your chances.
Had dinner here. Burgers were fresh made not frozen patties. Margueritas were the best we'be had. Service was friendly and efficient with a pleasant attitude.

Wow all you can eat catfish on Thursday night was great. One of my favorite places to eat at when I visit to South Padre Island.
Someone suggested we eat here if we wanted a good burger. My friend loved her huge burger. I had the grilled chicken sandwich which was divine. My other friend had the fried seafood platter. It was huge! The appetizers are huge. This was the cheapest meal we had on South Padre Island.

Last December's agreement in Bali to launch a two-year negotiation on climate change was good news, a rare example of international cooperation in a world seemingly stuck in a spiral of conflict. Cynics might note that the only accomplishment was an agreement to talk some more, and their cynicism may yet be confirmed. Nevertheless, the growing understanding that serious climate-control measures are feasible at modest cost is welcome.
The arithmetic is becoming clearer. If the rich nations continue to grow in wealth and the poor ones systematically narrow the income gap with successful development, by 2050 the global economy might increase sixfold and global energy use roughly fourfold. Today's anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are around 36 billion tons annually, of which 29 billion are the result of fossil-fuel combustion and industrial processes, and another seven billion or so are to the result of tropical deforestation. Roughly speaking, every 30 billion tons of emissions raises CO2 levels by around two parts per million (ppm). The current atmospheric concentration of CO2 is around 380 ppm, up from 280 ppm at the start of the industrial era in 1800. Thus, to arrive at 430 to 450 ppm by 2050—a plausibly achievable "safe" level in terms of its likely climate change consequences, but only 50 to 70 ppm more than the current one—cumulative emissions should be kept to roughly 750 to 1,050 billion tons, or roughly 20 billion tons a year. This goal can be achieved by ending deforestation (on a net basis) and cutting by one third our current fossil-fuel-based emissions.
So here is the challenge. Can the world economy use four times more primary energy while lowering emissions by one third?
The key, arithmetically, is to cut CO2 emissions per unit of primary energy to roughly one-sixth of their current level. That may sound like a daunting task, but it is actually within reach. Let's remember that 80 percent or so of total energy use will come from a small number of types of sources: electricity production (40 percent), vehicles (25 percent), heavy industries including cement, petrochemicals, refining, and steel (10 percent), and heating of buildings (10 percent).
A promising core strategy seems to be the following. Electricity needs to be made virtually emission-free, through the mass mobilization of solar and nuclear power and the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide from coal-burning power plants. With a clean power grid, most of the other emissions can also be controlled. In less than a decade, plug-in hybrid automobiles recharged on grid will probably get 100 miles per gallon. Clean electricity could produce hydrogen for fuel-cell-powered vehicles and replace on-site boilers and furnaces for residential heating. The major industrial emitters at refineries, cement plants, and steel mills could be required (or induced through taxation) to capture their CO2 emissions or to convert part of their processes to run on power cells and clean electricity.
The economics are also favorable. Carbon capture and sequestration at coal-fired power plants might raise costs for electricity as little as one to three cents per kilowatt-hour, according to a special report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The mass conversion of the U.S. to solar power might involve an incremental cost of roughly four cents per kilowatt-hour, with overall electricity costs on the order of eight to nine cents per kilowatt-hour. These incremental costs imply far less than 1 percent of the world's annual income to convert to a clean power grid. The costs in the other sectors will also be small. The fuel savings of low-emissions cars could easily pay for the added costs of batteries or fuel cells. Residential heating by electricity (or co-generated heat) rather than by home boilers will generally yield a net saving, especially when combined with improved insulation.

Learn the Ins and Outs of Home Remodeling
Property owners will have the opportunity to learn from industry professionals the ins and outs of home remodeling and new home construction in a one-day, noncredit course, Renovating and Improving Your Home. Designed to save you time, stress and money before you begin, the workshop will include representatives from the fields of architecture, permits, engineering, contracting and interior design, who will provide tips on everything from what to look for in an architect and contractor, to the requirements involved in securing proper permits, and more.
"People who take this class will get an overall idea of what to expect," said instructor Michael Taylor, owner of Taylor Homes & Associates in Rancho Santa Fe. "This will give the homeowner a foundation of understanding what they are about to get into."
Other topics covered in will include the pros and cons of hiring an interior designer, and costs and services associated with structural and civil engineers.
The class is scheduled for Saturday, March 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in Room 201 at the MiraCosta College San Elijo Campus, 3333 Manchester Avenue, Cardiff. The fee for the class is $50.
Taylor noted that with the economy slowly improving and with the housing market remaining tight, more people are starting to again look at remodeling instead of moving. "We're going to make sure you are prepared before you renovate your home," he said.
Taylor is a designer and general contractor who has been in the home-building business for more than 30 years. His late father, Romie Taylor, also built homes in San Diego County for more than three decades.
"I'll often hear people who have remodeled their homes say, `I wish I would have taken a course like that before I got started,'" Taylor said.
Further information can be obtained by calling the MiraCosta College's Community Services Office at 760.795.6820.

Product is great. Only wish the engines were included in this kit. Ordered online a few days before Christmas and got the product 2 days later right before Christmas

from Ft. Lauderdale, FL
There are 2 rockets assembled. NOTE: You need to go to a hobby store & purchase the engines, wadding, etc. Could cost an additional $25-$30. They go far so you will have to watch launching on a windy day. We lost one on a roof. All in all, it was exciting and great fun! The kids are 3 & 4. When they are old enough they will make their own rockets.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
My son received this as a gift for his 8th birthday. We spent about 30 minutes or so preparing what was to be an amazing experience for he and I alike. The rocket went off with no hitches, rocketted to heights unimaginable for a toy rocket, and recovery of the rocket was simple enough. Just a word of caution, be prepared to launch with the wind pattern. His rocket landed over 1500 feet downwind. We have used it multiple times and each time still amazes us.

Law & Order: Sweeps
In this fourth-season opener of Law & Order, Robert Klein guest stars as controversial, confrontational TV talk show host Rick Mason. During one of Mason's broadcasts, a guest is murdered on the air (and this show was telecast long before the Jenny Jones affair). The DA's office endeavors to prove that Mason provoked the tragedy -- and that, in so doing, he is himself an accessory to murder. Jill Hennessy and S. Epatha Merkerson join the regular cast as, respectively, Assistant DA Claire Kincaid and police lieutenant Anita Van Buren. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Contract on Cherry Street
Contract on Cherry Street represented Frank Sinatra's TV movie debut--an event deemed worthy of a TV Guide cover story. Sinatra plays NYPD veteran Deputy Inspector Frank Hovannes, in charge of a special unit set up to battle organized crime. The murder of Hovannes' partner, coupled with departmental restrictions and legalities, leads the Inspector to organize a semi-vigilante group with three other like-minded officers. They murder an underworld honcho, in hopes of triggering a mob war that will result in the decimation of every gangster in the Big Apple. Edward Anhalt's script for Contract on Cherry Street can't make up its mind whether to emulate The Godfather or Kojak. Sinatra's own Artanis Productions was responsible for this film, so any praise or blame must ultimately fall upon Ol' Blue Eyes' shoulders. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

They are accompanied by a trick chicken, and a midget. Just as he finally finds his friend, the girl states that she is pregnant and the honorable fellow offers to marry her, but she will not. Then her old fiancé appears and a fight ensues. She ends up going with him. When the singer finally gets his big chance, he sees the girl watching him and realizes they are in love. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The Two Little Bears
In this standard children's story -- with a few teen songs added -- the head of Burberry Elementary School, Harry Davis (Eddie Albert) is the proud father of two boys, Timmy and Billy (Donnie Carter and Butch Patrick) who wish they were bears. If Dad was bothered before by this wish, things only get worse for him because the boys meet a gypsy who gives them a spell they can say that will grant their wish. Along with a bit of their sister's freckle cream (a necessary ingredient), the boys accomplish their transformation. Now Dad has a lot more to worry about. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Platinum High School
This is a low-budget, standard drama by Charles Haas (his last film) in which a father investigates the mysterious death of his son in a military school. Steven Conway (Mickey Rooney) never knew his son who was raised by the ex-Mrs. Conway after their divorce. The son had been enrolled in a hard-as-nails military school, a place of last resort for delinquents of wealthy families unable to straighten out in any other way. Once he learns of his son's death, Conway goes to the school and comes up against a stone wall when he tries to find out how he died. As his investigation raises dangerous confrontations with school authorities it becomes more than apparent that his son was murdered. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

High Time
Bing Crosby plays a widowed millionaire who decides that it's "high time" he got himself a college education. Enrolling as a freshman, Crosby is forced to endure the anachronistic initiation stunts dreamed up by his fraternity buddies, and at one point is required to dress up as Scarlett O'Hara (that's the level of humor here). Unlike the other students, Bing displays no interest in romantically pursuing the lovely coeds. Instead, he woos a teacher (Nicole Maurey) who is -- relatively speaking -- closer to his own age. Bing rounds out his first year in college as the most popular man on campus (he's certainly the best singer, since his only competition is the redoubtable Fabian). Though about 15 years out of date, High Time is brightly directed by Blake Edwards and includes at least one memorable song, ""The Second Time Around."" ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Inherit the Wind
Add Inherit the Wind to Queue
Add Inherit the Wind to top of Queue
The Evolution vs. Creationism argument is at the center of the Jerome Lawrence-Robert E. Lee Broadway play Inherit the Wind. Lawrence and Lee's inspiration was the 1925 "Monkey Trial," in which Tennessee schoolteacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in violation of state law. Scopes deliberately courted arrest to challenge what he and his supporters saw as an unjust law, and the trial became a national cause when The Baltimore Sun, represented by the famed (and atheistic) journalist H. L. Mencken, hired attorney Clarence Darrow to defend Scopes. The prosecuting attorney was crusading politician William Jennings Bryan, once a serious contender for the Presidency, now a relic of a past era. While Bryan won the case as expected, he and his fundamentalist backers were held up to public ridicule by the cagey Darrow. In both the play and film versions of Inherit the Wind, the names and places are changed, but the basic chronology was retained, along with most of the original court transcripts. John Scopes becomes Bertram Cates (Dick York); Clarence Darrow is Henry Drummond (Spencer Tracy); William Jennings Bryan is Matthew Harrison Brady (Fredric March); and H. L. Mencken is E. K. Hornbeck (Gene Kelly). Dayton, Tennessee is transformed into Hillsboro -- or, as the relentlessly cynical Hornbeck characterizes it, "Heavenly Hillsboro." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The U.S. Steel Hour: Tom Sawyer
Frank Luther wrote the music, lyrics, and book for this hour-long musical TV version of Mark Twain's immortal The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Divided into three acts, the play manages to incorporate most of the highlights of the original novel: the whitewashed fence; the burgeoning romance between Tom (John Sharpe) and Becky Thatcher (Bennye Gatteys); the "pirate excurison" undertaken by Tom, Huck Finn (played by pop singer Jimmy Boyd), and Joe Harper (Kevin Coughlin); the kids attending their own funeral; the murder in the graveyard; and the chilling climactic encounter with Injun Joe (portrayed by prominent Broadway dancer Matt Mattox) in the cave. The songs include "You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks"," "Why Would You Want to Kiss Me?," "That's the Life Fer Me," "Storm Come a-Risin'," "Lost in the Cave." The most impressive aspect of this U.S. Steel Hour presentation is the fact that the scenic designs and backgrounds were the handiwork of distinguished American artist Thomas Hart Benton. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Second Greatest Sex
This musical is a contemporary version of Aristophanes' ancient play Lysistrata. Instead of Greece, this play is centered in the town of Osawkie, Kansas and centers on the feuds between the men there and those of nearby towns. They are fighting over the possession of a safe filled with important county records. The women, sick of all the fighting, band together, lock themselves in a fortress and refuse to make any form of love with the brutes until they stop. They do, and prairie love blossoms. Songs include: "Lysistrata," "Send Us a Miracle," "My Love Is Yours," "Travellin' Man," "What Good Is a Woman Without a Man?" "There's Gonna Be a Wedding," "The Second Greatest Sex," "How Lonely Can I Get?" ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This cult favorite from director/producer Sig Shore featured the music of Earth, Wind and Fire and had a #1 soundtrack album, but went belly-up at the box-office. That's a shame, because what other film offers viewers Harvey Keitel as a record producer who skates at an all-black disco rink, Bert Parks as a child molester, and squeaky-clean singer Jimmy Boyd ("I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus") as a hardcase junkie? Other treats on hand include the manager of a Christian pop band threatening to stick an ice pick in Keitel's ear and appearances by noted disc jockeys Murray the K and Frankie Crocker. Amidst all of this insanity, Cynthia Bostick's female-lead turn as a Joplin-like junkie singer named Velour is lost. The film ends with a number of Earth, Wind and Fire songs, but by that point most viewers will be in bad-movie shellshock. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
