President Bush's decision yesterday to commute the 30-month prison sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, before Libby served a day behind bars created an immediate and understandable firestorm. Although the president left intact Libby's felony convictions and $250,000 fine, critics immediately accused him of grossly misusing his powers to protect a former ally from the consequences of his criminal behavior.
The dramatic increase in trade with China is producing a frightening downside – the poor quality and lack of standards and regulation of many Chinese-made products. It affects the health and safety of everyone, particularly children, and Americans are right to be alarmed.

Opinion: 10 Ways To Improve The PlayStation Network

[In this opinion piece, digital console game website
' editor Ryan Langley examines Sony's PlayStation Network for PS3 and PSP, suggesting notable feature and usability improvements that might help the digital network boost its success.]
With the release of the PSP Go, the industry is intently watching how Sony will use the PlayStation Store to support the first digital-only console. Unfortunately, at least in my opinion, there are still a lot of problems with the PlayStation Store - both on PS3 and PSP.
There are issues that hinder the buying experience which by now, three years after the PlayStation Store's launch, should have been fixed. Many of them are relatively small, but when grouped together, showcase a somewhat significant problem with the Store.
Here, we take a look at what I think are the 10 main problems with the PlayStation Store, and what Sony and game publishers can do to make the experience better for consumers and help boost digital console gaming:
The Problem: The Separation Of Games And Territories
One thing Microsoft has been good at is worldwide releases. Besids a few exceptions, all games come out in most Xbox Live regions, and all on the same day. This is because Microsoft has a single submission process for XBLA games you only have to submit the game to the Microsoft office, and they will test it for all the regions in which the publisher wants to release it.
Sony, on the other hand has gone for 3 major submissions North America, Europe and Japan. A game might get through the submission process in America, but will get stuck (or be submitted later) in Europe. Therefore the European process has to start all over again, which can mean a month or more of waiting for the game to come out.
With a single worldwide Xbox Live Arcade release, publishers can concentrate on a single campaign. They can build hype, have competitions and release trailers or screenshots in a timely manner. If a game has a staggered release, the hype dissipates, and causes potentially disgruntled would-be customers to care less and less about a game.
for example. The game came out in Europe two weeks ago, after two months of being out on the PC. The game will finally hit the U.S at the end of October. But by the time is comes out, people will be already be over the peak of interest, publisher Nobilis may have exhausted all of their press budget, and any sort of post-release buzz from other territories will be gone. Thats a terrible way to run a business.
The Solution:
It sounds like it would be impossible to make a single system now, since Sony is quite adamant that they want to keep SCEE, SCEJ and SCEA separate. What needs to happen is for the three territories to start talking to each other and organize dates, so that we can get consistent releases.
The Problem: No Background PlayStation Store Downloading On PSP
With the launch of the PSP Go, weve seen a ton of games pop up onto the PlayStation Store some of them with very large file sizes. For example,
is over a gigabyte in size, and the recently released
Gran Turismo
PSP is quite large too.
Unfortunately for you, if youre not using your PlayStation 3 or the Media Go download manager on your PC, you have to wait that whole download period before you can start doing anything else. If you accidentally lose your connection at some point, you have to start your download all over again.
The Solution:
I don't know whether the PSP has enough memory for background downloading. But I would at least like the luxury of bring able to pause a download or start from where it left off -- or even allow the PSP to be used in a more limited mode with browser and MP3 playback still available.
The Problem: There Are No Screenshots Or Videos Of The Games Available
The PlayStation Network has a feature called preview. This allows players to have a look at screenshots or trailers of the game they're looking at. The problem is that -- for whatever reason -- hardly any of the games on PSN use it.
Right now, titles that have screenshots on the PlayStation Store are few and far between. People dont even know its there most of the time its tucked away at the payment screen, just after the buy button. Few people would venture into the payment screen, since the description is already in the shop menu.
Some games do use it, and it appears that some PSP Minis developers have started to take advantage of it. Bt even then, there are inconsistencies. Some games have screenshots on the American store, while the same game does not have any on the European front. PSP Mini
goes one step further a video in the U.S, screenshots only in Europe.
But then were only talking about the PlayStation 3 store. If youve got a PSP, youve got no preview options whatsoever. If you have a PSP Go you'll have a hard time figuring out what you want. Japan, on the other hand, does have screenshots for nearly everything. They do it by circumventing the preview button entirely, throwing the screenshots in the same space as the description. On the PS3 the screenshots are quite small and difficult to see, but are fine on the PSP store.
The Solution:
In the digital age, screenshots need to be mandatory across the store landscape to keep the consumer informed, and give them a much better chance of buying the product.
The Problem: Game Icons Are Unsuited To The PSP Store
When looking through the PlayStation Store on the PS3, you can see each games' icon quite clearly. As there are no screenshots, you have to use them to get an idea of what the game might look like. On the PSP, however, you cant see a thing -- as if someone used the "pixel resize" option in Photoshop instead of any smoother options.
One thing iPhone developers will remind you is that your icon is very important. The icon is the first thing they will see on the store front, and should be enticing enough for the consumer to continue reading about your game. If the PSP icons look so relatively unattractive, how are developers supposed to get gamers interested?
The Solution:
There are two ways about this - either find a way for the current icons to be re-sized in a smoother fashion, or have developers create PSP-specific icons alongside the PS3 counterparts, so that they're made for the right resolution in the first place.
The Problem: If Youre Not A Mini, And Youre Not A Retail Game, What Are You?
When the PSP Minis were announced we, felt this was the branding that PSP finally needed for download only PlayStation Store games like
Super Stardust Portable
Echocrome Micro
. But now that the system is out, we now realize they don't fit the criteria, because they offer too much.
The new game
Thexder Neo
just came out, which has all of the qualities of a Mini. It's small in file size (33MB), it retails for a relatively inexpensive $9.99, and it seems like a perfect example. But the game includes online multiplayer, which the Minis program does not allow right now, and therefore gets thrown in with the other hundred or so PSP retail titles. The same thing will happen with
Loco Roco Midnight Carnival
- a $14.99, download-only
Loco Roco
In North America these games do get a little bit of recognition theyre considered PlayStation Network exclusives. But there is no such place in the European store, so they have nowhere to call home. It also seems quite inaccurate -
does not appear as a 'PlayStation Network exclusive', while
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
does, when that game did get released in stores.
The Solution:
The Minis initiative is meant to give developers a shorter time in the certification process, which is why online play is not permitted at this time. I believe that the Minis certification process should be an option, and if a developer or publisher wishes to go that extra mile for their Minis title they should be allowed to go through the more expensive process, while still being able to use the Minis name.
The Problem: Price Inconsistencies
Some people may say that the Microsoft Points scheme is a little confusing, but it is consistent. If a game is 800MSP in the U.S, its 800MSP everywhere else. What a MSP is worth is up to the store, but for the most part they're close.
The PlayStation Store on the other hand can be all over the place. While most games in North America keep to the same price point such as $9.99 or $14.99, converting that over to Europe is another thing entirely.
For example,
came out earlier this year for $9.99USD. In Australia a $10USD game gets converted to $12.95AUD. Or does it?
Bomberman Ultra
just came out, and it's $15.95AUD.
Heavy Weapon
gets released for $12.95AUD while Capcoms previous efforts, like
Commando 3
, convert to $15.95. The same thing also happens for more expensive titles. Both
Battlefield 1943
Fat Princess
were released for $14.99 in the U.S, but in Australia theyre priced at $19.95AUD and $23.95 respectively.
The Solution:
As a consumer, this variation in pricing is very frustrating. It's unknown who's making the conversion prices - Sony or the publisher -- but it needs clearing up. Keep things consistent - almost every other digital store does.
The Problem: European PSP Mini Icons Hurt The Eyes
The PlayStation Store has kept itself pretty consistent across Europe and North America a clear cut, simple icon with a graphical border surrounding it. In North America theyve continued the tradition with the PSP minis, but in Europe and Asia, theyve decided to use a bright purple border which doesnt mesh with anything else in the store. It sticks out like a sore thumb, almost to say stay away from me.
The Solution:
The icons in North America work far better. Just use those.
The Problem: There Is No Demo Section On The European Store
So youve just bought your PlayStation 3 or PSP and want to start out by checking out a few demos. If youre in Europe, good luck with that. While the United States have a section at the top of the store for demos, Europe does not. Unless it is in the latest downloads, or you specifically know which game youre after, youll have no idea where to go.
The Solution:
What's taking the place of the Demos section is the splitting of "PS3 Games" and "PSP Games" into separate sections, while the U.S store simply has "Games" with separate PS3 and PSP sections within it. While it's an extra step away, it's still better than no demo section at all.
The Problem: PlayStation.com Is A Mess
While Xbox.com is basically the same across all regions, with some additional pages for specific territories, each region of PlayStation.com has a wildly different idea on how to deal with a website -
have completely different designs and features.
Looking for more about a game? Japan and Asia's websites have a pretty comprehensive database of PSP, PS2 and PS3 games. The North American website attempts to do the same, but appears quite difficult to navigate, and is missing a large portion of new releases, even if they're on the PSN store. There's nothing on the U.S. store which hints at
Bomberman Ultra
being available on PSN, but they'll
gladly tell you
Bomberman Fantasy Race
came out on the PSOne.
On the other hand, the European PlayStation.com does not claim whether a game is on the PlayStation Network or not. There are very limited search options - you can't check by alphabet, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how "browse games" is sorted at all. New releases like
Motorstorm Arctic Edge
SoulCalibur Broken Destiny
are hidden away in the third page of the "browse" section.
The Solution:
The stores might be seperate, but there's no reason why Sony can't use the same technology across multiple websites, or at least get the game database in some sort of shape.
The Problem: When is that game coming out?
It seems like everyone is a little clueless about when their game is coming out on the PlayStation Network.
came out a
few weeks ago
in North America, and it was released with no fanfare whatsoever. It was a quality game on the Xbox Live Arcade. But to suddenly spring the game on an unknowing populace is just poor, and publishers should know better.
While this is more the publishers fault than the PlayStation Store (in this case, it was Sony Online Entertainment that forgot it was releasing a game), Microsoft at least has a system set up for some advance knowledge. It announces games on Monday, and releases them on Wednesday, and for the most part it gets it right.
This allows the press to alert everyone that the game is coming out ahead of time, and allows consumers to decide whether or not they will buy something that week. This almost never happens with the PlayStation Blog -- but they are getting a little better with allowing the developers to guest blog on the week of release.
The Solution:
It appears that Sony will continue with the Thursday updates, despite the release of the PSP Go, where the UMD versions will come out at all times of the week. The PlayStation Blog should-- at the very least list -- off the PSP and PSN games that will be available that week ahead of time. This allows for reviews to be written, and for websites to spread the message. Videos and DLC might be up in the air, but surely they have an idea of what will be released in four days time?

My doctor sent me home to the shower after removing a 6-day dressing w/o using antiseptic. There was a definite odour at the time. Now three days later the drainage sites still hurt more than the scar. Is that normal, or could I have an infection?
Should I Have More Pain at the Drainage Sites After Drainage Have Been Removed Than the Scar Itself?
Doctor Answers 4
Dear Consultingothers,
Thank you for your post. It is normal that the drain sites hurt more and burn. this has been a technically 'open' wound this whole time. However, if there is expanding redness, warmth, and pain, then this is cause for concern. Continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon and follow their directions.
Best wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Although it is possible to have more pain at the recently manipulated drain site, this in itself is not a sign of infection. This question will only be answered after a discussion and possible office visit with your surgeon. All the best.
It is possible to have more pain at the sites where drain tubes once were. In fact, most patients complain about the and knowing events and pain associated with drainage tubes compared with a surgical incision. Please follow the directions of your plastic surgeon very closely and relay your concerns.

US 2476293 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) July 19, 1949. ' J. W. HALL ETAL ARTIFICIAL FIBER Filed Oct. 3, 1944 INVENTORJ Patented July 19, 1949 UNITED STATE NT OFFICE ARTIFICIAL FBER Delaware Application October 3, 1944, Serial No. 557,004 This invention relatesv to novel hollow filaments of regenerated cellulose, products formed therefrom, and to processes for producing the same. It has been proposed, heretofore, to produce hollow filaments by methods involving the emulsification of air in viscose prior to extrusion thereof, or the incorporation in the viscose of substances, commonly alkali carbonates, capable of reacting with acid to develop a gas, and extrusion of the mixture into an acid spinning bath. All of the hollow regenerated cellulose fllaments of the prior. art, however, produced, have had a'common characteristic in that they have been tubular in cross-section, comprising either a hollow continuous canal, or a plurality of individual voids or lumens each taking up the entire cross-section area of the filament and spaced end to end along the length of the filament by transverse partitions. The hollow filaments oi the prior art have numerous disadvantages. Most importantly, such filaments have extremely low tensile strength and extensibility and, further, readily undergo considerable permanent collapse during manufacture, such as when they are passed over guides, about the godets, and under their own pressure as they are being collected on bobbins or in spinning buckets. Even after drying, should there be any appreciable residual inflation in the filaments having the tubular voids or lumens, additional permanent deflation occurs Whenever articles formed therefrom such as cushions, mattresses, wearing apparel, etc., are subjected to compression, with a noticeable loss -of buoyancy and increase in weight of the articles. It is the purpose of our. invention to provide new hollow filaments. of. regenerated cellulose which do not exhibit the disadvantages associated with the hollow filaments heretofore known. It is a further object of our invention to provide hollow filaments which undergo substantially no loss in inflation when they are manipulated during production thereof. A still further object is to provide articles formed from our new hollow filaments which articles are not susceptible to deterioration in use due to loss of inflation in the filaments when they are compressed. Further objects and advantages will appear hereinafter. In accordance with our invention, hollow filaments of regenerated: cellulose are obtained which in cross section, have a unique structure 2 Claims. (CI. 2882) by virtue of whichthey are sharply distinguishable from hollow filaments of the prior. art. In the accompanying drawing illustrative oi the invention, g Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view. of the file. ments of our invention; Figure 2 is a view taken along the. length of the filaments of our invention; and. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of a typical hollow filament of the ,prior art. Referring to Figure 1, it will be seen that our new filaments have, in cross-section, a, cellular. type structure, the cross-section area being occupied by a web-like network comprising a plurality of partitions 2 which separate. and define a plurality of voids or.lumens.3.' The partitions 2 radiate irregularly from the solidportion at one or more points 4 within thefilament, andconnect the solid portion 4 with what may be defined as the inner peripheral wall of. the fiber. The partitions lay more or less at random and may have a regular or irregular contour, and the voids or lumens, which may vary in size from extremely small to much larger voids, are of varying shape, some being more elongated than others, for example, as determined by the con tours of the dividing partitions. The solid portion 4 extends longitudinally of the fiber length along at least a substantial portion thereof. The voids 3 overlap one another and lie irregularly spaced along the fiber axis as shown in Figure 2. The separating partitions 2 present, as viewed in Figure 1, an essentially Web-like network or configuration. All of the partitions radiate from a point within the filament but not necessarily all from the same point and the partitions may have a more or less complex shape constituted by a branched structure, one or more partitions branching off from one or more others which radiate from a common point, as shown in Figure 1. The external walls of the hollow filaments are thus provided with an internal web-like support which enhances the rigidity of thefilaments so that while they are flexible enough to enable their being easily manipulated and adaptable to various textile working processes, they do not tend to collapse even under the influence of very high compressional forces. Under such conditions, the filaments give, but do not permanently collapse and upon removal or the compressing forces the inflated condition is immedi ately recovered. We have discovered that filaments having the novel structure, in cross-section, described above and shown in Figure 1 can. be produced from viecose containing sodium carbonate only by a proper, selective control and correlation of the spinning conditions. Generally, the viscose should analyze from about 1.9 to about 2.5% total sulfur, from about 6 to 9% sodium hydroxide (based on percent weight in viscose), from about 6 to 9% by weight cellulose, and should contain a large proportion of sodium carbonate, that is, from about to (based on the cellulose present). The viscose preferably should have a common salt (NaCl) point of from 5 to 6. The viscose is extruded into an acid bath having a regenerating capacity equivalent to not less than 11% sulfuric acid, mixed with a large proportion, not less than 5%, of a zinc salt, and a large proportion of sodium sulfate, that is not less than 21%. Preferably, the bath contains from about 11.3 to 12.5% sulfuric acid; from about 5 to 6% zinc sulfate; and from about 21 to 25% sodium sulfate. The viscose may contain special modifying agents, if desired, such as dyes, pigments, etc., or any mixture of such materials. The spinning bath should have a temperature between 40 to 60 C. The immersion depends, to some extent, upon the denier of the filaments, longer immersion periods being productive of better results in the case of filaments of larger total denier and denier per filament. If desired, the filaments may be given a stretch up to about 40 to of their length, by passing them between godets or rollers operating at different speeds, or by means of any other equivalent stretching procedure, and preferably the filaments are stretched soon after leaving the coagulating medium. When necessary, the stretching may be facilitated by passing the filaments through a plasticizing bath, such as hot water, hot acids, and the like. Generally, the various factors involved in producing the fibers are correlated as indicated, and the various ingredients of the viscose and the spinning bath are used in proportions within the ranges stated, but when the sodium carbonate is present in the viscose in the higher amounts, the sulfuric acid, zinc sulfate, and sodium sulfate contents of the spinning bath are not quite as critical as when the smaller quantities of sodium carbonate are employed. For illustrative purposes, the following specific examples are given. Example I A viscose aged to a common salt point of 5.5 and having 8.4% by weight sodium hydroxide, 7.3% cellulose, 2.3% total sulfur and to which had been added 25% by Weight of sodium carbonate (based on cellulose) was extruded through a spinneret to produce a 120-filament thread having a total denier of 300, into a spinning bath maintained at 50 C. and containing 12.3% sulfuric acid, 22% sodium sulfate and 5.3% zinc sulfate. The immersion was 24". After leaving the bath the filaments were passed over two godets in succession having a differential in speed which effected a 40% stretch of the filaments. Filaments which along their entire length showed, in cross-section, a cellular type structure were obtained. Example If A viscose aged to a sodium chloride salt point of 5.3, and having 8.1% by weight sodium hydroxide, 7.4% by weight cellulose, 2.3% by Weight total sulfur and to which had been added 20% of sodium carbonate (based on cellulose present) was extruded through a spinneret to produce a 200 filament thread having a total denier of 300, into a spinning bath maintained at about 45 C., and containing 12% sulfuric acid; 22.5% sodium sulfate, and 5.3% zinc sulfate. The immersion was 14 inches. The filaments were stretched 40% between godets. Filaments which along of the fiber axis showed, in cross-section, a cellulartype structure, were obtained. Example III A viscose aged to a sodium chloride salt point of 5, and having 9% by weight sodium hydroxide, 7.6% by weight cellulose, 2.3% by weight total sulfur and to which had been added 25% of sodium carbonate (based on the cellulose) was extruded through a spinneret to produce a 490- filament thread of 1200 total denier, into a spinning bath maintained at 50 C., and containing 11.4% sulfuric acid, 23% sodium sulfate, and 5.5% zinc sulfate. The immersion was 14", The filaments were stretched 40% between godets. Filaments were obtained which, along 95% of their length showed, in cross-section, a cellulartype structure. Example IV A aged to a SOdlllIIl chloride salt point 5.5, and having 8.5% by weight sodium hydroxide, 7.2 cellulose, 2.3% total sulfur and to which had been added 25% sodium carbonate ased on the cellulose present) was extruded through a spinneret to produce a 24 filament structure of 300 total denier, into a spinning bath containing 12% sulfuric acid, 22.5% sodium sulfate, and 6% zinc sulfate. The immersion was 64". The filaments leaving the bath were given a stretch of 40%. The filaments thus obtained showed, in cross-section, at all points along the filament length, a cellular type structure. The filaments obtained as described have dry tensile strengths of approximately 2 or more grams per denier, and wet extensibilities of about 30%. The individual filaments produced in accordance with this invention have in cross-section a cellular type structure at points along at least a substantial portion of the filament length which comprises a plurality of voids or gas pockets which are separated by partitions forming an internal support for the filaments. The hollow continuous filaments initially obtained may be cut to staple length, as well as continuous or broken filament yarns. For example, the filament bundles proceeding from several spinnerets over stretching godets may be combined into tows of 1200 up to 400,000 or so denier. The tows while still Wet are cut to staple fiber, which is allowed to fall into a liquid bath which may serve merely to effect opening of the fiber clumps, or may also serve the purpose of an additional liquid treatment, such as washing or desulfurizing. The opened staple fibers are wettreated, and finally dried in any appropriate manner. The filaments have a delustered appearance, give full, deep dyeings in dull shades, and are characterized by a soft hand and feel, excellent water retentivity, light weigh-t, and enhanced covering power. Those filaments that are made without much stretching are generally substantially cylindrical or long and oval in cross-section, depending upon the type of spinneret utilized, while those which have been given a greater amount of stretching exhibit numerous points of necking down along their length, and due to this irregularity of configuration possessed by some of the filaments they exhibit fulling and felting properties resembling natural wool. The new hollow fibers, either as continuous filaments or as staple fibers may be used in the production of textile yarns and knitted or woven fabrics which are especially useful in the manufacture of wearing apparel or bed clothing where lightness in weight, buoyancy, and protection from cold or heat are important factors. Carded mats of the material may be used as fillers for the production of comforts, wearing apparel, cushions, life preservers, vibration damping, sound insulating or generally as a heat insulating material for filling spaces between the walls of buildings or other structures to be insulated, such as ice boxes, cold rooms, ships, railway cars, automobiles, airplanes, and the like, and for any of these uses, Where desired or necessary, the mats may be provided with a water-proof wrapping or the filaments may be impregnated with a resin, such as phenol-aldehyde and phenol-ketone resins, for example, phenol-formaldehyde resins, phenol-diphenylol propane-formaldehyde or ketone resins, phenol-furfural resins, aromatic sul-= fonamide-aldehyde resins, benzophenone aldehyde resins, and the polymerized vinyl resins. The novel hollow filaments of the present invention, may be incorporated in filamentary bundles of the type described in the copending application of Robert J. Taylor, Serial No. 530,682, filed April 12, 1944, now Patent No. 2,461,094, Feb-- ruary 8, 1949. The filaments either per se or in the form of a yarn-like bundle, or in the form of a mat, carded or otherwise, may be crimped by efiecting shrinkage, which increases the bulk of the products. Further the filaments may be rendered potentially self-crimpable by stretching them while in a plasticized condition, removing the plasticizer while the stretched condition is maintained, fabricating the stretched filaments or fibers and permitting the development of crimp therein in situ in the fabricated structure by activating the filaments, as during a fulling or felting operation, and permitting the crimped filaments or fibers to dry while relaxed. Since many variations and modifications may be made in practicing the present invention, it is to be understood that we are not to be limited except b the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Kate Winslet nearly missed out on her Oscar-nominated turn in THE READER - as movie bosses feared she was too busy filming REVOLUTIONARY ROAD to accept the role.
Film mogul Harvey Weinstein, whose company was behind the critically acclaimed picture, has revealed producers spoke to three other actresses before turning to Winslet.
Nicole Kidman was originally signed to the movie, but was forced to quit after she fell pregnant with her daughter, Sunday Rose, who was born last year (08).
Producers then turned to Marion Cotillard and Naomi Watts, before director Stephen Daldry suggested Winslet for the lead.
Weinstein says, "Before Kate came onboard, Anthony Minghella, myself and (producer) Scott Rudin had a conversation.
"I said 'Scott, shes got Revolutionary Road. I think we should have insurance.'
"I had Marion Cotillard, the French actress, go to Germany and shoot a screen test. She was great. Then we contacted Naomi Watts. Shes available. Then we redid the conversation and said these people are available.
"(But) Stephen Daldry wanted to work with Kate."
Winslet has already won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award for her performance as a concentration camp guard in The Reader and will compete for the Best Actress honour at the upcoming Academy Awards on Sunday (22Feb09).

Dear Readers,
Spring is in the air here in beautiful Mesquite. As I watch the news about the weather else where I can't help but feel grateful that I live in the southwest.
We have just completed many amazing activities and events in our beautiful city and many more are on the horizon for March & April.
I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful response to Lucy, my dog that I adopted from the Mesquite Animal Shelter. You have all been so kind and concerned about her, that is just another reason I love Mesquite.
I am sorry to say that Lucy is no longer with us. She was doing really well with her weight gain and also began dog training with Loyalty Dog Training. She had become an active and happy dog, a big difference from the 44 pound Golden Retriever that we adopted in November. Just before Valentines Day she had complications from what we believe was a brain tumor and as quickly as she came into our lives, she was gone.
Lucy brought a lot of love and life to everyone she met. She is a reminder that we shouldn't give up on special needs dogs who need a loving home and a chance at life, no matter how long that may be.
I wish everyone a bright and beautiful spring. Please get out and enjoy our beautiful golf courses, parks, soccer fields, great weather and spectacular sunsets.
As always, please visit our website at www.ViewOnMesquite.com and like us on Facebook to see additional current events that we could not include in this issue. Sincerely, ~Kathy Lee

The experienced striker formed part of a side that stunned Hibernian at Easter Road on Sunday to edge an epic play-off encounter 4-3 on penalties.
Scotland helped to see Hamilton 'over the line' after joining the club as a free agent in January.
He is now 35 years of age, but the former Swansea City and Ipswich Town frontman feels he is still capable of competing at the highest level.
It is now up to Hamilton to decide if he will be offered a shot at the top flight next season, with Scotland waiting on future discussions.
He told the Daily Record: "I talked to the gaffer and said I wanted to see how the season went. I wanted to see if I could get over the line and get to the Premiership.
"I've done that but I'm 35 now and in the last 20 minutes (against Hibs) I couldn't move I was so stiff.
"So I don't know how I'll feel in the next month. I'll just relax, enjoy my holidays and see what happens after that.
"We play some good stuff but the gaffer will know he has to bring some experienced players in.
"But Hamilton have a policy of keeping young players and giving them a chance. I think we'll need some fresh faces but the gaffer has that decision.
"It will be tough. It was a one-off game here today but the players and fans were buzzing. In the Premiership next season, we can recall games like this and you never know.
"Hopefully we can enjoy it as much as possible, but we will take care of it when it comes."

Anyone feel like going out on a limb on where we finish in the playoffs? I don't mean the emotional "We are going all the way baby!!" kind unless you really believe that in your heart. It's the MLS playoffs, ANYTHING can happen (and has, in the past) we have a team of great talent with a few injury issues, a LOT of cohesion issues, a leaky defense, a great offense, and a pretty much hard to predict playoff future. Anyone? I'll post mine when I've had an hour to think about it a little.
OK, OK, I'll get the ball rolling. My gut feeling is that we roll Vancouver relatively easily (although not without some nerves: one-off games are always nervy) and then have an epic series with San Jose, that we win in a squeaker. a 2-1 win at home, then a 1-1 draw to finish it off. Injuries ensue however, and the team is a bit beat up headed into the match-up with RSL, who somehow put away Seattle yet again...and we lose to them in a gritty match-up that features a Galaxy red card, pouring more fuel into that rivalry fire. Do I hope we do better than that? Oh yes! Do I think we could? Heck yes! Is there danger that we lose to SJ? Uhhh....unfortunately yes. Could we lose to Vancouver? It's a possibility, but it'd be a huge shocker. Which is to say, yes it could happen. But the above is what I honestly think will happen this year.
I love the fact that we play the first (or only) game of each round at home. If we take advantage of that and go to their field with a lead, they can't just bunker and hack their way to a standoff; they need to play us and we have the talent and depth that every team in this league should be afraid to play us. I will be rooting for RSL in their first round so we won't have to worry about playing on that embarrassment of a "pitch" in Seattle. I really like our odds. San Jose could only muster a tie against us in their house; that isn't going to be good enough. We have guys coming back just in time for the playoffs. If they really are healthy and ready to play, and if rust isn't an issue, the time off might turn in to a nice advantage playing a lot of games in a short time. Trying to be as unbiased as I can be, I think we are the favorites to get through.
I think we get past VAN pretty easily, 2-1 or 3-1. Then beat SJ. I can't get the World Series out of my mind...look at the SF Giants sweeping the "well-rested" Tigers. Maybe SJ gets a little rusty...it's only a week though. But I think we get past SJ 2-1 at home then 2-2 on the road. Seattle and RSL is a matchup that I really don't know about. It could go either way. I think RSL wins it though. But unfortunately, whoever we play in the Conference Finals...I feel like we're gonna lose. No particular reason...just a feeling that sorta was apparent last night (lots of opportunities but couldn't really convert them). EDIT: I just remembered that EJ picked up a knock last night. Therefore, I think RSL will beat the Sounders.
I'm with this. I want us to win the whole kit and kabdoodle of course, but this. And I'm not looking past Vancouver. Anything can happen.
I think we knock off Vancouver, then also knock off San Jose (their defense is frail like ours, and I think they've used about a decades worth of good luck up this year to come back from so many deficiets/score late timely goals) in a drop dead fight. I think we'll be tired from our 3 games in 8 days, then lose to RSL in the Conference final after they knock off Seattle (this is majorly dependent on Eddie Johnson's health).
Like others, I feel like we match up well with VanCaps and SJ... so I think there's a good chance we get past both teams. I think RSL and Seattle are a different kettle of fish. I think we can beat either team, but it's gonna be a tough series, and it's likely we don't make it through. If we do make it through, I think we can beat any team in the east, but KC has the best chance against us. They play a very physical style (like SJ), and if we have to play them in KC, they're going to be aloud to beat the crap out of our guys, and I think that gives them an edge. If we play any other team from the east, I think we have the edge.
We are LA Galaxy a championship is the only acceptable outcome to a season, I know we can't win all the time but our mentality has to be that, We win titles failure is not an option simple as that. Ride or Die LA all the way baby!
If we beat sj, we will go on and win the West and probably the cup if we can overcome home field advantage.
I would love for this to happen. I think LA will sneak into the conference final but probably lose there.
Ok, I'll wreck the consistency. Anyone who doesn't think San Jose is the most likely team to knock us out is nuts. They are easily the strongest opponent left in the series. Seattle is weak mentally, don't play as hard, and players like Montero are much easier to shut down than SJ's strikers. RSL doesn't have near the scoring threat. SKC is the toughest opponent from the East - they have athletes all over the field which should help then shine in the playoffs. They would be the 2nd most likely team to knock us out. The Red Bulls can score but are very vulnerable defensively. DC might be the cinderella team out West. If they have the fighting spirit Olsen had in his playing days they could be a challenge. Chicago, Houston, meh... If I am being objective, SJ is not only the most likely team to knock us out, they are a favorite to do so. They have it all. Multiple scoring weapons, a fantastic midfield, and a very solid defense and goalkeeper. They constantly pressure the ball and just plain work hard for 90 minutes, and as obnoxious as it is to hear about, they truly never give up. We are 0-2-1 against them and we had to fight our ass off to get the tie (as did they). Wondo only needs a sliver of an opportunity to strike and The Douche is a handful as well. And we know Gordon loves to punish us for whatever reason. Marvin Chavez is one of the top midfielders in MLS and isn't getting the credit he deserves. Bernardez is hard to beat. And they have the best bench in MLS, or maybe they and Seattle do. SJ didn't get a +29 goal differential by accident. They are clearly our toughest out. That being said we obviously have the tools to beat them and I hope we do. We just won't be a favorite to do so, unlike any other opponent we will face.
San Jose's defense has been anything but solid, it's leaked a ton of goals lately (and at home), and has been saved by their late game offensive heroics. San Jose has the 3rd worst defense (behind US and and New York), so they're basically the worst defense team we could face before the cup game.
You are 100% correct - I didn't realize they had leaked so many lately, giving up 2,1,3,1,2,1 goals in their last 6 games respectively for a total of 10 goals or 1.67 g/gm which is pretty bad for a playoff team. They compensated a bit by scoring a whopping 14 goals in that stretch or 2.33 g/gm. I believe the rest of my points stand though and I still think they are the best team we will have to face in the playoffs.
I think San Jose also has a massive home field advantage playing in that shoebox they call a stadium.
And yet we work/play our asses off against them. I actually fear RSL more because for whatever reason we don't stand up to them as much. When we play SJ all hell breaks loose. Each game we played with them this year that was the case. They were tight contested affairs with super passionate players. I didn't/don't see them as the favorite in any of those games which could have teetered either way. I am not going to say "I like our chances" versus SJ - they are a very good team for all the points you raise. I also agree that they are the best team we will face. But we tend to stand up to them and play toe to toe. So between the two what scares me more based on the order we have the teams? RSL. (Expecting them to go through if EJ is out). And to be fair, I don't expect us to win or lose the games against SJ, think it will be a crapshoot - just think we will play our asses off, which is the only thing I can ask for.
Assuming we get there, this is a very fair point. It especially negates Becks and LD's benefits. Means we really need to win at home before we get over there.
I might add that I think we'll see a red card or two in the SJ series. One for Lenhart and one for one of our guys (my gut tells me maybe Omar or Juni). Also, I EXPECT to see a yellow for Becks...
I assume you mean for the width? The more width SJE has had, generally the better they have played (SJE attacks from the wings, usually) HDC = 75 yds. x 120 yds. Buckshaw = 74 yds. x 115 yds.

Eh, Super Milk-chan? By popular I mean fansub popular. I don't remember a bunch of crazed Scryed fan dying for the DVD release either. FLCL was an otaku anime and it became pretty successful with the "mainstream" anime viewers. Haruhi has at least the same type of appeal. But of course it may fail and AS forums will be filled with ignoramuses flaming each other about Haruhi... Perhaps that's what I wouldn't like to see. The idea of the unwashed "mainstream" bitching about Our Lord Haurhi makes me want to go Jihad on the non-believers. ^^)

Yeah man Haruhi is going to be phenomonally successful in North America. I'll go to work and the guys will all be like "Hey, Graham you know anime and stuff right, I saw this show called Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu and it was awesome". Then I'll be like "Really, how the hell did you see that show." Then as I'm leaving for the day there will be posters for the show everywhere and as I run down the street a Haruhi parade balloon will come by in Chibi form and as I'm crouching down in utter panic and disbelief it turns out it was all just a really strange dream. It could happen to you!

Of course, the anime haters in their audience (and there are a number of them, all incessantly vocal on the forums) wouldn't like it even if they had a Jessica Alba striptease at each commercial break, but you can't please everybody. (and some don't deserve pleasing, but that's neither here nor there...) Still don't see the show getting on Adult Swim, though, or succeeding there if it does, no matter how good the dub or the original material is. It's too unique a combination of humorous and cerebral for their audience, if you ask me. Now on the other hand, the second best anime of 2006, Black Lagoon...that show was absolutely made for Adult Swim. They cast the dub right, and it'll be the next Bebop.

I mean you really think Bandai Entertainment is unrelated to Bandai Japan? The life-size Gundam statues lining their HQ should offer us a clue. Gundam IS Bandai. Plus the logo is exactly the same. EDIT: my google skills require update. Goto this page which listed Namco Bandai Holding Tokyo Inc. group of companies in English, you see that on the bottom left box called "Visual & Music Content SBU", you'll find Bandai Entertainment Inc. listed. They're one big happy Keiretsu I tell ya. Last edited by aegismode; 2007-02-04 at 12:09. |

Yup. I totally agree. Kyon order is the only way watching the anime serially. People can jump to Haruhi order later, but if they watch in Kyon order first it's just that much better. I thought the Kyon order ending is PERFECT. If they do show on TV they know if would initially attract fans like us anyway, and many of us, I suspect, would complaint if they did not show in Kyon order.

Holy Haruhi Bandai owns both Sunrise AND Lantis as well. Lantis already create and distribute the Haruhi Radio Shows and all the Music CDs... so there has already been existing relationship. The R2 DVD is distrubuted by Klockworx, not a Bandai company... but Bandai Visual is really not that big on non-Sunrise anime before.. I mean Eureka 7 probably the only one recently that's not a major movie. Also interesting that Klockworx is also the R2 distributor for FMP! Second Raid. Oh well, who knows how these companies really deal with each other anyway. I'm just surprised how much anime $$ Bandai is already getting in Japan.. I mean Lantis IS the anime music company. |

There is a new American subsidiary called Bandai Visual. Bandai Ent is something rather separate as far as I know. The US branch of Bandai Visual has published fancy re-releases of the first two Patlabor movies and are about to release Gunbuster & Diebuster. They have nothing to do with the US release of Haruhi. Despite that, they have far closer ties to the JP Bandai (being that they're just an offshoot of that company) than Bandai Ent.

The US branch of Kadokawa (JP company) are the ones with the Haruhi 'license.' They're just using Bandai Entertainment for assistance & distribution purposes for Haruhi, in the same way that they used FUNimation to release FMP: TSR. Bandai Ent is not a subsidiary of Bandai JP--they may have some professional ties, but they have to pay Bandai JP money to get a license (Haruhi is a totally different matter; presumably Kadokawa is paying them for their help, but Kadokawa US rather than Bandai holds the right to release the show and stuff). Bandai Visual US doesn't have to pay anyone money to release an anime in the US.
Kadokawa released Haruhi in Japan, IIRC, so I assume that's why their US branch is able to release Haruhi (in conjunction with Bandai Ent). Actually Bandai Visual JP didn't have anything to do with the JP Haruhi, as far as I know. Kadokawa didn't have to choose Bandai Ent to assist them with Haruhi--they could've picked Funi again, for instance. It just so happened that they ended up with Bandai Ent. Bandai Visual US is analagous to Kadokawa US--a direct offshoot of a JP company. Bandai Ent is its own operation w/ a confusing name. At least that's the way I understand it. |

Let me explain how the Japanese electronics industry works in Europe. The same model probably applies to other industries and international commerce generally. The European distributors are wholly owned by the Japanese manufacturer. They decide what price the market will bear for the product, and the parent company then charges them a wholesale price as near as possible to that price. The distributor never makes a profit, indeed it may not even cover its costs. This way all the profits are made in by the parent in Japan, and the distributor pays no taxes to the foreign country it is based in. If the distributor were to make a profit, this would be taxed in the foreign country, and then what was left would be repatriated to the parent company in Japan where if forms part of their own profits and gets taxed again. So to avoid being taxed in the foreign country they get their profits back by onerous charges for the product which bleed the subsidiary's coffers dry. As a result unofficial (grey) imports of products are often cheaper than official ones since the official distributor is actually being charged higher prices than independent ones who may shop around for the keenest price e.g. via third parties in other countries. Unless the US has some kind of regulations to prevent this sort of thing, I would be surprised if any of the anime subsidiaries such as Bandai or Kadokawa US are getting their anime licences for free from their parent companies, on the contrary they will be paying top dollar for them. |

I'm just about starting to lose faith. Maybe Haruhi-ism isn't for me. Gosh I cursed the day I bought this book - how I wished to remain blissfully ignorant. To the Happy KadoUSA/Bandai Marketing Team: DID YOU READ IT YET? Was that YOUR response in myspace or Tanigawa's? If you have NOT read it, please someone READ IT AND TELL TANIGAWA WHAT YOU THINK OF IT. I guess nothing will change his mind about his love for the book, but my gosh people, put some perspective on it and do it more marketing sake. You do not want this book to offend anymore fans. Japanese manga-ka still draw black people in Sambo-like ways with huge lips, but they don't do it because it was racist - it's because they do not know how racist Sambo faces are to blacks. Please help educate Tanigawa-san and our sensibilities. I'm beginning to think I'm the only person aside from Tanigawa who's read the damned book. Last edited by aegismode; 2007-02-06 at 17:23. |

I'm failing to see the difference in the way this book uses 'Chink' and the way books like Uncle Tom's Cabin use 'the n-werd.'
But maybe I'm just showing my ignorance. If I may inject a bit of logic into this fiasco, think about this: if this book's message is truley 'all people but white people r teh suck,' then why would an asian fellow enjoy it? The problem here is that you are just not going to accept anyone's views but your own (ironic?) on this book. You're not even willing to agree to disagree - if people do not see this book as condoning the extermination of all things non-white, then they're simply wrong, and you must rant and rave until they see the light. I don't usually get involved in things like this, but I'm getting sick of it popping up in here and people trying to start flamewars over it. You wanna complain about how the Japanese draw black people? Take a look at how they charicature white people, as well. Before you say it isn't the same, remember that, to them, it is.

Displaying town's Titanic links
Last updated at 21:12, Thursday, 29 March 2012
An exhibtion to mark Maryport's links to the Titanic was officially opened at the town's Wave Centre last Friday by Workington MP Tony Cunningham.
He said the exhibition, called Maryport to the Titanic, was one of the best in the North.
It chronicles the town's maritime history and its links, through the White Star shipping line to the ill-fated Titanic.
Created by volunteers from Maryport Maritime Museum, the exhibition runs until May 13.
Hundreds of people have already been to see it, and by the end of its run more than 2,000 pupils from across Cumbria will have attended.
Mr Cunningham paid tribute to the volunteers, who he said had done a fantastic job in creating the exhibition, and added that he hoped visitors to the Lake District this spring would take the time to go to Maryport.
The exhibition includes dresses from the blockbuster movie Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, and visitors can view a replica of a first-class restaurant, a third-class cabin and the ship's radio room.

Home » Boys' Basketball NewsJV Boys v. SturgeonNovember 27, 2012 Hallsville High SchoolLast night the Hallsville Indians played to host to the Bulldogs of Sturgeon. It was the first game of the JV season and the Indians came out strong. The first half saw the Indians stifle the Bulldogs with their half court pressure defense and barrage of outside scoring. The Indians were able to go into halftime with a commanding 25-14 lead. The second half was a much different story. The Indians couldn't seem to put the ball in the bucket quite as easily as they did in the first half and some costly turnovers and missed rebounds came back to haunt the Indians in the end as they ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard in a 37-33 loss. This was a pretty good game for the Indians to start the season with and improvements will be made throughout the season with a great bunch of young players. Our scoring last night was pretty well distributed among the whole team which is a great sign for the rest of the year. We were led in scoring by Evann Sells with 9 points followed by Taylor Vincent with 7. Don't forget the Varsity Indians are in action tonight at home against the Wildcats of New Bloomfield with the girls set to tip at 6 p.m.. As for the JV our next action will be on Saturday as we travel to New Bloomfield to play an early game with the girls set to tip at 10 a.m.. Thanks for the support and Go Indians! Jordan Carmack

Ohio Same-Sex Marriage Amendment (2013)
Not on Ballot |
This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot |
Text of measure
The following is the submitted title of the initiative:[3]
- The Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment
The following is the official summary of the initiative filed with the Ohio Secretary of State:
- This amendment would repeal and replace Section 11, Article XV of the Constitution to:
1. Allow two consenting adults freedom to enter into a marriage regardless of gender;
2. Give religious institutions freedom to determine whom to marry;
3. Give religious institutions protection to refuse to perform a marriage.
The following is information obtained from the supporting side of the measure:
- Tim Hagan, co-chairman of the campaign to place the measure on the ballot stated: "I don't know how one human being can look at another human being and say, 'You don't have the same rights.' I have a sister who's gay. I have close friends who are gay. But this is not just a gay issue. This is an issue for all of us who believe strongly in human rights."[4]
- The president of the Cleveland chapter of the NAACP, George Forbes, said in a statement about the measure: "Not since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has there been a more important step to achieving equality for all Americans."[5]
- According to Mary Jo Kilroy, "We're seeing a seismic shift in voters' attitudes all over the country. It's wrong to treat so many Ohioans as second-class citizens...to deny loving couples the right to marry and enter into committed relationships and raise a family. People should not have to face this kind of discrimination every day."[2]
The following is information that was obtained from the opposing side of the proposal:
- Citizens for Community Values
- Ohio Campaign to Protect Marriage
Tactics and strategies
- The Ohio Campaign to Protect Marriage filed a lawsuit with the Ohio Supreme Court, challenging the same-sex marriage amendment's summary language.
- See also: Polls, 2013 ballot measures
- A poll of Ohio adults conducted by Saperstein Associates from March 5 to 10, and commissioned by the Columbus Dispatch, reported that 54% were in favor of the amendment, 40% opposed it, and 5% remained undecided. The study surveyed 1,003 randomly selected Ohio adults and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1%.[6]
Date of Poll | Pollster | In favor | Opposed | Undecided | Number polled |

State ex rel. Ohio Campaign to Protect Marriage v. DeWine
On April 10, the Ohio Campaign to Protect Marriage filed a lawsuit with the Ohio Supreme Court, challenging the same-sex marriage amendment's summary language. The group argued (1) that the summary is too long to qualify as a summary and (2) that the summary misrepresents the amendment. On April 27, defendent and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit.[7]
During the week of May 2, 2012, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine requested that the Ohio Supreme Court dismiss the lawsuit, stating that the court has no jurisdiction over the pre-certification process for a proposed constitutional amendment.[8]
On May 25, 2012, the Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit. According to reports, court justices voted 5-2 to dismiss the case. Justices Terrence O'Donnell and Robert Cupp were the two justices who voted to not dismiss the lawsuit.[9]
- Documents for the case can be found here.
Path to the ballot
Supporters of the proposal had until July 3, 2013, to turn in the required 385,247 signatures in order to place the measure on the ballot. Before circulation began, the Ohio Attorney General first had to approve the measure's language as well as verify at least 1,000 required preliminary signatures gathered by proposal proponents.
On March 9, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine rejected the petition by Freedom to Marry Ohio. Attorney General DeWine said he could not approve the ballot language because the summary was too long and misrepresented the amendment in question.[1]
Then on March 26, 2012, supporters re-submitted the language, as well as more than 1,000 preliminary signatures to the attorney general's office.[10]
On April 5, the Ohio Ballot Board approved the revised ballot language.[11]
According to DeWine: "Without passing on the advisability of the approval or rejection of the measure to be referred...I hereby certify that the summary is a fair and truthful statement of the proposed constitutional amendment"[12]
A call to the Secretary of State's office on July 8, 2013, confirmed that supporters of the measure did not turn in signatures by the required deadline of July 3, 2013.
