The scene opens and Bob is at the airport with his fake bride Lindsay, when a man called Greg is able to spot him. Greg is livid because Bob has robbed him of $25,000. Scared, Bob starts running. Greg pushes him down on the floor, when Bob says get off Greg. The cops try to restrain Greg, and Bob puts out his ID. However, Greg knows him as Frank, and the cops believe in Bob's fake ID. Lindsay cannot believe it, but Bob easily cajoles her towards their journey. They are visiting Lindsay's parents after marrying. They are upset about not being invited by their own daughter. Lindsay is embarrassed, but they cannot get over it that she did not care to remember her own parents, no matter how hastily or how far they might have had the ceremony.
Later in the night, Bob and Lindsay are talking on the bed. She describes how her new life feels.
Bob says that sounds like describing drowning. She gets mushy with him when he describes his love for perfection in their newly married life. He wants to set it up all over again, whatever he did with Cat Thatcher. After some time, it becomes clear to him that Lindsay is not ready to suspect him. Later Bob is with his dad, and wants him to like his theft of a million dollars from Thatcher. He insists he has invested that money without Clint's knowledge, but refuses to accept that he has stolen it. Bob tries to coax his dad into a deal concerning wind farms. However, John is reluctant to accept this no-exit approach as opposed to a quick fix.
Bob keeps trying, and manages to get his dad's approval after some sentimental talking. Clint wants Bob in his office the next day at work. Clint is unable to understand how Bob could take Clint's money, and invest it without knowing anyone. He is furious, but is speaking with a low tone. Bob insists that he is someone who moves fast, and may be does not belong in the company if his style does not match. Bob manages to temporarily convince Trammell, who also knows Bob has the unapproved million dollars, that he is trustworthy. Later, John sits with clients, and hoaxes them real estate deals. After they leave him with an attractive amount of money, John gets back on his business with the Thatcher file presentation. He finds it foolproof, and calls Bob for the things he will need if he is going to make this work. Bob says everything is already rolling.
Later in the night, before sleeping with Bob, Cat thinks he might be having problems with her dad, Clint. However, Bob assures her that she need suspect nothing of kind. A while later, the phone rings. Bob has been reported to the police station, and he is sitting on a bench with Drew – Clint's younger son. He is nonchalant, but Bob wants to know if he is with him on this. Drew who is unaware of Bob's con man reality is optimistic about release. His sister, Cat, who is also Bob's real wife, is talking it out with the station chief. She reveals her father's friendship with top cops, and manages to make the department overlook allegations against Bob. She is livid when Bob wants her company for a drink, and is pissed for trading her self-respect for him.
At Lindsay's home, her mother finds it strange that none of Robert's (Bob) acquaintances can be listed. After all, he has hidden most of his life from Lindsay. Lindsay's mom exclaims that they appear to know less about the man she was marrying, than she knows about her cousin living in Iowa. However, her mother's words do ring a bell, and Lindsay goes through Bob's school book. He claims to have been in Greenfield High, where Lindsay calls to inquire when she cannot find 'Robert Allen' in the index.
Drew is enthusiastic about meeting Bob for the wind farm deal. However, Trammell thinks it is the wrong move. Drew thinks his elder brother is reining him away from a major success, and walks off to see Bob. Clint arrives with Trammell at the wind farm. John is waiting outside while Drew and Bob are inside a cottage about to cut a deal. Clint outsmarts John, who is posing as Technical Advisor Gardener, and later, they find Bob and Drew coming out. He rebukes Bob for taking things too far, but Bob tells him about the way Clint might be influencing against better growth. Clint asks if John, posing as the technical advisor, can describe the figures of the wind farm. It turns out one hell of a productive investment opportunity. Trammell interrupts as Clint is about to approve, but after saying that he will expect results, gives a sort of green light.
A while later, the real owner of the wind farm is driving down. Pretending upbeat about the investor, John decides something clever. He manages to keep enough distance from Bob and the rest, and tells the real owner they were there to just have a look at one of these wonderful places.
Next day, Bob introduces John to a new place at the Thatcher office. John sinks a little when he notices that most of the arrangements he had asked in order to look real, are just not there. However, Bob promises to make things up very shortly. Clint wants to catch a meeting with Bob, but he has a flight to catch. Clint offers him a lift, and if they still get late, he can take his personal aircraft. Bob is leaving for Lindsay's place, where he manages to get on time, but ends up finding Lindsay's sister Grechen in the shower. She is vivacious and does not shy although both see each other naked. Lindsay learns about what happened, but is later upset with Grechen – says she might spoil things. Back at Thatcher office, John is having a tough time leaving his counterfeit face up.
He can barely use the desk telephone, and finds his desk stuff very mediocre. Meanwhile, Bob is out on a date with Grechen, and tells her she should be careful about Lindsay's fear of her stealing Bob. That seems to drive a wedge between the sisters. Grechen sheds a few tears, visibly disheartened about complains Lindsay usually makes against her. John gets brashly treated at office for not being able to pick up any of the calls Trammell made for John's signatures. Trammell lays into him a few words enough to make him hate what Bob has given him. When Bob is back, he finds one of his two cell phones missing. Meanwhile, John and Clint meet in the elevator, where Clint talks about Bob being a dynamic young kid. He is afraid about his moves, only because he lacks a role model. Red faced, John cannot but ask why, wasn't Bob's father. Clint tells him what knows – Trash – abandoned him and his mother when he was very little. Bob gets into the office thinking he has lost his cell phone in the flight. He finds no Mr Gardener to be seen. Meanwhile Lindsay wants Grechen to be her maid of honor. Grechen cannot believe it, but has to when Lindsay really means it. Later Bob goes home to meet John, where John lays into him for talking ill about his dad. He cannot stand it, but after a hot argument, Bob fails to understand why it matters to him.
Back at Lindsay's place, Grechen steps out of the door to smoke. When she gets to the car dashboard, she finds a cell phone. She can make out that Robert must have left it behind. She decides to call back on the last dialed number, John's out of curiosity. The answer comes back 'What do you want, son?' Grechen puts two and two together to at least get a feeling that Bob has been lying. His parents are not both dead. When later he gets to Lindsay's place, he finds a voice message from Greenfield High, but smartly deletes it. Grechen scares him when coming in. She wants to know who John Gardener is, and Bob lies saying he is a business partner. A Texan – everyone calls someone 'Son'. Grechen does not want to believe it, but tells Bob she does. Later Bob smartly tells Lindsay about the message. She is a little embarrassed because she had called probingly. Bob explains his name has no record because he studied in that school only for a couple of years or more. Lindsay's suspicions fail to exist. Back at Bob's home, John is planning to head in a direction on his own. The episode ends.

Call our certified SCUBA Instructors
Mon - Sat - 8AM - 6PM PST
Im always cold underwater and my feet are no exception. These 7mm zipperless boots were just what I needed to keep my toes toasty on my recent dive trip. Easy on/off.

For anyone who has trouble staying warm under water, this is an excellent addition to your scuba wardrobe. It goes on and off easily and keeps your core warm. Also, the air vent in the hood works well to prevent air from getting trapped. Highly recommended.

RD's face says it all. Another McLaren **** up, this time in thinking that Hamilton would just take the pay cut. How can you let go one of the best racers out there? And do you really think that LH isn't focused on winning, for whatever team he's driving for?
You have a silly rule about keeping driver trophies and MW & JB wanted JB as number one, so they eased LH out.

Nicole Kidman brought the glam to the 2014 Cannes Film Festival this afternoon at the press conference for the aptly glamorous opening night film, "Grace of Monaco," looking every bit the star that she is, and that she portrays onscreen as Grace Kelly. But like the drama, directed by Olivier Dahan ("La Vie en Rose") and written by Arash Amel, she revealed a darker side to being in the limelight.
The film, which begins shortly after Kelly had married Prince Rainier III (played by Tim Roth) to become Princess of Monaco, traces the reasons Kelly gave up her Hollywood career to play the role of mother, wife and Princess. While Kidman's career as an actress is still going strong, the Oscar-winner did say that she "wouldn't even think twice" about giving it all up for love, as Kelly did.
READ MORE: Indiewire Reviews 'Grace of Monaco'
"...I think love is the core emotion," she said. "Without that, and I've certainly existed without that, it's a very empty life. When I won the Oscar [for 'The Hours'], I went home and I didn't have that in my life. That was the most intensely lonely moment in my life."
"[During] my professional highs," she added, "I've often had personal lows. It's always aggravated me that it's gone that way."
Kidman seems to have found a healthy balance at this point in her life. She glowed when she mentioned her husband, Australian country music singer Keith Urban ("I am married to a prince, a country prince!"), and spoke excitedly of the opportunity to embody Kelly ("My whole career I'm looking for things that put me on a high wire, this was one of those roles").
The actress said she had five months to prep for the project, allowing her the ability to "very gently enter into her skin." She spoke of watching all of Kelly's films made with Alfred Hitchcock ("Rear Window" is Kidman's favorite), and of studying press footage of the actress to inspire her performance.
Dahan shared that Kidman used a lot of her own past to inform her portrayal of Kelly. "I was able to connect Grace and Nicole," Dahan said," not just from a physical stance, but also from a spiritual stance."
"It was important that I didn't feel trapped to mimic her," Kidman added. "It was about finding her essence. It was a beautiful experience to live her life for six months."

WE are going to be very happy with GMAC what a teacher!!!
A little Tim Floyd in him I love it!!
Yes, you can really tell the players are buying in to what Coach is trying to do. If we defend, rebound and then defend some more, we have a chance. Of course Taylor going "Lafester" doesn't hurt either.
I didn't get a chance to see Sportscenter last night. Does anyone know if my new avitar made the top 10 plays? I couldn't imagine 10 plays that were better!

Reading Roundup: This Week's Top Literary Events
Each week, we offer a roundup of the best literary events in the city. All events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Want to submit an upcoming event for consideration? Go here.
Jaron Lanier (Who Owns the Future?)
Mary McDonald Signing at Gumps
On May 4, San Francisco met celebrity interior designer Mary McDonald (Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators) at Gump's on Maiden Lane as she presented her new lighting collection and signed copies of her new book Mary McDonald: Interiors, The Allure of Style. McDonald's style combines old-fashioned elegance with a modern sensibility that results in a fearless, joyful exuberance. Her ability to combine bold patterns, Chinoiserie, and Indian influences with contemporary lines and an impeccable sense of color has established her style as one of a kind.
Learn The Art of Homebrewing in Small Spaces With 'Beer Craft'
SF-based designer Jessi Rymill and writer William Bostwick, authors of the Beer Craft (out today!) have brewed over 150 batches of beer in the last two years. Their method is a little different from what you might learn from the Grizz at SF Brewcraft's introductory classes. Instead of focusing on large batches (that weigh a ton and take up half your closet space), they've zeroed in on the perfect batch size for small-spaced, urban living: one gallon.
Travel Etiquette Tips from a Local Writer
When San Francisco etiquette coach Lisa Grotts travels, she abides by the John Steinbeck quote "A journey is like a marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you can control it." While on a radio media tour a few years back, Grotts spent so much time in major airports, she began to notice a plethora of travel faux pas, "luggage carts crashing into the shins of others; angry, unhappy passengers; passengers in coach placing their luggage in first, etc. I wrote my first chapter [of the guide] that week!" she says. In November, her compilation of all her travel knowledge, "A Traveler's Passport to Etiquette" hit the shelves.
The New Yorker's Jane Mayer Gets Critical at the Commonwealth Club Tonight
New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer kept a close watch on the Bush Administration, specifically in regard to policies around terrorism and torture. Her most recent book, The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals, explores the dissonance (to put it nicely) between the Constitution and the methods employed by Bush & Company in their war on terrorism. Mayer will talk about the practices and consequences of the Bush Administration this evening at the Commonwealth Club (6pm).

The fantasy baseball playoffs are closer then people think, making every free agent period more important then the last. Below are my week 16 waiver wire pickups for 10-14 man leagues:
Large League: 10-14 Man Leagues:
C Martin Maldonado, MIL – The 25-year old has earned his at bats this season and has made each one count. He has crushed 5 homers in only 39 games.
1B Chris Carter, OAK – Carter has been on fire since being called up from Triple A-Sacramento. He has only played in nine games this season, but the first basemen has crushed a phenomenal five homers and driven in 9 runs.
2B Jemile Weeks, OAK – Weeks has ten hits in his last seven games and is finally showing signs of life on Oakland.
3B Todd Frazier, CIN – Frazier continues to produce at a major league level. He has 10 homers in his 62 games this season and adds some extra pop behind Joey Votto and Jay Bruce.
SS Pedro Ciriaco, BOS – In six major league games this year, Ciriaco has 10 hits, 4 runs, and 6 RBI. He will not continue to hit .417, but he could serve as a decent bench player in deeper leagues.
OF Justin Ruggiano, MIA – Ruggiano has filled in exceptionally for the injured Giancarlo Stanton, and seems to hit everything that crosses the plate.
OF Lorenzo Cain, KC – Cain was just activated from the 60-day Disabled List and could be an amazing free agent pickup for the second half of the season. He has amazing speed and could be a root-league All-Star down the road.
SP Miguel Gonzalez, BAL – Gonzalez has only allowed four earned runs in his first two starts in the O's rotation and is making a case to remain there. The 28-year old has an identical release with all his pitches and can rack up strikeouts.
SP Carlos Villanueva, TOR – Villanueva has put together back-to-back solid performances since being added to the Toronto rotation. He has struck out 21 batters in 17 innings and has amazingly only allowed 3 earned runs.
RP Dale Thayer, SD – Thayer proved to be a great closer when Houston Street was on the DL earlier in the year after straining his right shoulder. There have been trade rumors surrounding Street for months, so if he finally gets dealt somewhere, it would open up the job for Thayer. Keep an eye on this situation, especially as it gets closer to the trade dealing later this month.

Some Say Change is inevitable.
At the Burn Institute, we certainly hope so – because, we're all about change. Change is good.
Everyday, we are changing the way people look at their homes, educating them about everyday fire and burn hazards, smoke detectors and the importance of creating and practicing a home fire escape plan. We are changing routines, too. By demonstrating how cooking on back burners, turning pot handles back, and lowering the temperature on water heaters can prevent the number one cause of burn injury… scalds. We're making a change for the better. And, we are changing risk-taking behaviors. By teaching children that matches and lighters are not toys, and instructing parents that these instruments of destruction should be locked up, we're helping put an end to the fastest growing fire threat in the United States.
And nothing is more powerful than the Burn Institute's work with young burn survivors. There is a lot of change going on there, as well. Not only are we changing children's perceptions about themselves, but also of the world around them. Camp Beyond the Scars is the Burn Institute's most notable burn survivor support program, which helps improve self-esteem, builds coping skills and changes attitudes. All these things help transform burn victims into burn survivors.
As you continue browsing through our website you will find valuable information on fire and burn prevention, burn survivor support programs, upcoming events that support the important work of the Burn Institute and how you can help us make our community a better place for all.

Costa Cruises Offers $14 Thousand to Uninjured Survivors: Is It Enough? (VIDEO)Danielle Smith
Nineteen people are still missing and yet I was reading on ABC today that Costa Cruises is ready to offer money to the uninjured survivors of the recent Costa Concordia cruise ship tragedy.
The offer is apparently being forged on behalf of more than 32-hundred of the passengers and negotiated by an Italian consumer group: $14,406 or the eqivalent of 11,000 euros to be given to each of the uninjured passengers to compensate them for the loss of their luggage and any mental anguish suffered. This, in addition to medical expenses and remibursement for travel expenses and the cost of the cruise itself.
Not all of the passengers have signed on. Some are uninterested in any legal action at all while others are pursuring something much greater.
$14-thousand dollars as a trade off for the experience of this tragedy. I'm not sure what a 'fair' dollar amount would be…. but it seems to me that the parent company, Carnival, would be getting off fairly easy if this many passengers agree to this…. This feels like a modern day Titanic… while there were certainly fewer lives lost and there was the benefit of current techonology, it is horrifying to imagine being in this situation – not to mention…. being abandoned by your Captain?

Hi all, I have owned this lens for over a year now. My lens is the one without image stabilization. My advice to you all, who are thinking of getting this lens, is save yourself a load of money, and buy the one without image stabilization. I use this lens on my Canon 7D and my Canon 5D Mk II. I never get out of focus shots or blurred shots at any focal length and I am talking hand held here. Overall a superb lens for just under £400 second hand. Martin

Change is afoot at the North Branch of the Amarillo Public Library. Renovation of the library is a combined project with the Women, Infants and Children nutritional program. The agencies share a building at 1504 N.E. 24th Ave. and most of the changes will take place on the WIC side of the building.
Enrollment in WIC has increased to approximately 90,000 clients who receive services through Amarillo's WIC program in Potter, Randall, Oldham, Carson and Armstrong counties. The enrollment has increased to the point that the city is funding a $634,000 expansion of the North Branch clinic, Globe-News file information states.
The two entities currently share restroom facilities and a meeting room. The construction will enable WIC to have a meeting room of its own and the library will upgrade its restrooms.
"WIC will have their own meeting room but we'll both use both," said Donna Littlejohn, director of Library Services. "We'll have two available so there are more options for scheduling."
The building has experienced an increase in traffic, she said. "The need for health care for women and children has increased and demand for our services has increased."
The library building was completed in 1974 and, though it was adequate for its time, the needs of library patrons has changed, Littlejohn said.
"The library's being used more," she said. "We've already put in new furnishings, got five more computers, to increase it to 10 for public access. We're adding additional data ports in the meeting room and freshening paint."
The construction is part of ongoing improvements funded from the 1999 bond election that built the Northwest and Southwest branches of the Amarillo Public Library.
"Construction is to be finished by mid-summer and then they'll get right into East Branch renovations," Littlejohn said.
The renovation will expand the three-room, 1,000-square-foot clinic to a nine-room, 5,000-square-foot facility. The clinic was serving 2,700 clients monthly until it closed, WIC Director Margaret Payton said. After the renovation, the clinic's clientele is projected to grow to about 5,400 a month.
The construction cost is being funded 60 percent through the federal Community Development Block Grant program and 40 percent through WIC funding. The city is using another $226,000 in funds left over from the 1999 library bond issue.

The district administration awaits clarity from the state government on the direct benefit transfer (DBT) of LPG subsidy, which is scheduled to be rolled out in the city from November 1. Even as the Supreme Court ruled that Aadhaar cards were not mandatory for essential services and the government stated that the card was not mandatory for LPG subsidy until the apex court approved of it, Pune district authorities and gas distributors await instructions on the schemes implementation. Pune District Collector Vikas Deshmukh said he hadnt received any instructions regarding it.
Those who do not get their Aadhaar cards will not get the subsidy, said an official at the Mantralaya.
The response to the scheme has been poor in the city, so far, with just about 1.26 lakh LPG customers having linked their bank accounts with their Aadhaar cards to avail the subsidy benefit. Deshmukh said, The administration is expecting to receive further instructions before November 1. There are 18.4 lakh LPG customers in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad area, of which about 1.26 lakh customers have submitted details of their bank accounts and Aadhaar numbers to their respective distributors of gas companies. the collector added.
An LPG distributor from Pune Camp said, We are expecting some clarity on how the scheme is going to be rolled out. We are yet to get directions from the oil companies.
An official from the district food grain distribution office said a meeting of officials of fuel companies and LPG distributors were expected be to held soon to discuss issues pertaining to direct benefit transfer of LPG subsidy and submission of bank accounts details by customers with distributors.
The subsidy amount of a cylinder will be transferred to the bank account of the customer once a cylinder is booked. The customer has to purchase a cylinder from the distributor at market rate and will be given a receipt. Customers are expected to submit details of bank accounts and Aadhaar card numbers in the prescribed forms available with LPG distributors to avail the benefit. Even as the Direct Bank Transfer scheme is an option as is done for other government schemes, there is no clarity on the same, added another official.


text: Coming from a running background, I was a little nervous about the swim and bike, but tried not to be anxious for the race. The evening before the race we (my wife, two children and mother-in-law) stayed in Ocean City. My wife and I were going to go to the race and everyone else was to stay at the hotel... plans changed in the morning and everyone ended up going. This turned out to be really nice - especially seeing them during the race and at the end.I was anticipating a rainy morning, but it turned out to be a great race day - overcast and comfortable. I took everything to the transition area to set up and had some help from some really nice people. I think it was obvious that it was my first tri - it was either the vibe I was sending out, or maybe the mountain bike I was using. (Thanks Matt Olsen for the road bike, but it didn't work out - pedals, no practice ride, etc.) I eventually got the bike racked and set up the area. During pre-race announcements they said that the steps to the dock had floated away the night before the race so we would have to use the steps on the opposite side of the pier. Thought that was kinda funny.Swim: (17:40) I had done three OWS (thanks Linda for doing the Sandy Point Swim) prior to the race. Two of them didn't go so well with the breathing, the third was great. I was in the second wave of swimmers - thankfully I had 3 minutes to check out how the swim was going for the first group. I stayed to the back of my wave, but ended up somewhere in the middle of the back as we rounded the first buoy. About halfway to the second buoy, I got my breathing under control and actually felt like I was swimming instead of just staying afloat. I was also doing much better at going in a straight line, unlike practice where I tend to go from one side to the other and have to constantly correct my path. At some point near the second buoy, I noticed that I swam over the lower half of another swimmer. It wasn't till I passed over him that I realized he was swimming perpendicular to the swimming route. I'm glad I was heading in the right direction, but still felt bad. The rest of the swim was uneventful and I managed to only get passed by one person from the third wave and stayed somewhere in the mid to back of my wave. I ran to the transition area and began trying to shed my wetsuit. Thanks to the girl with the balloon on the rack across from mine it was easy to find my spot. I had no real problems getting shoes, shirt, shorts and helmet in place. The bike came off the rack and away I went... T1 2:26 - not so bad, I guess.Bike: (56:07, 16.1 MPH) My plan was to get a nice pace and just stick with it. The course was nice and flat. Only a couple of areas where the wind was in my face. I was passed by a lot of people and didn't pass anyone. Oh there was that one guy, but he passed me again about 2 minutes later. I just tried to keep in mind that my favorite part of the race was still to come - the run. Several people had well wishes on the way by "keep it up", "good job", etc - maybe from the looks of my poor mountain bike and fat tires. It was motivational. I was shooting for under and hour, so I was good with how it went. As I rounded the final turns, I tried to prepare for transition, knowing that I wanted some gu. I racked my bike downed the gu, some water and ran towards the exit... oh crap, I forgot to take my helmet off. A quick u-turn to drop off the helmet and I was out of there. T2 0:54.Run: (23:02, 7:26/mi) It was nice to run out of the transition and be on the last part of the race. My feet had some pins and needles for the first few yards but overall I felt OK... no calf pain or cramps, yeah! I passed some people and congratulated a bride - she was wearing her veil. I think her husband was out there too, but I never saw a tux anywhere. My family was there to cheer me in to the finish. That was great.This was a really great race to do as a first triathlon. It was low pressure, people were very helpful and it was very organized. Hopefully it fits in with our race schedule next year so that I can do it again. As a side note, the people that I have met in the club have been great. The first time I met Matt, he offered his road bike for me to use. Thanks again Matt and congrats Ironman! Hopefully I will be able to attend more club functions in the future. I have signed up for the Eagleman and the HalfFull. I look forward to meeting with everyone in the upcoming year.

HandyDART service will be expanded by 15 per cent in the spring, meaning better access to seniors and people with mobility issues.
Nanaimo Regional Transit convinced B.C. Transit to add 3,750 hours of additional service in the next fiscal year.
HandyDART is meant to get those who can't practically use regular bus service to medical appointments, shopping and social events on short notice.
The service has not kept pace with rapid population growth in Nanaimo in recent years, and users are unable to get same-day service.
The additional hours were funded by B.C. Transit, which shares costs with participating transit systems.
"We have 3,750 hours have been approved by the board," said Dennis Trudeau, general manager, transportation services with Nanaimo Regional Transit operations manager.
Trudeau said it's been about a decade since HandyDART service was expanded last. The funding will allow additional vehicles as well as staff hours.
HandyDART users currently have access to 25,000 hours of service annually.
When it works as intended, users can call for service the same day they need it. In the RDN, riders are encouraged to book several days ahead.
"You've just got to think about it and plan ahead and write it on your calendar," said Nanaimo senior Pat Portsmouth. "You can't book further than two weeks, but they advise three days. If I'm out of milk, bread, cat food or potatoes - if you need groceries right away, you can't do that with HandyDART." She recently contacted Coun. Diane Brennan, about the problem. Brennan, who sits on the RDN board acknowledged the service needs improvement.
"It is true that you have to book ahead, which makes it impossible to just decide to go anywhere like the rest of us can do," Brennan said by email. "It is a much-used, much-needed service and we are usually a little behind the eight-ball in funding the service."
Portsmouth looks forward to higher service levels.
"It's great," Portsmouth said. "I'm really pleased they're looking at it again and putting more funding into it."
The change affects the whole region, from Cedar to Bowser, in March.

Outrageous Ivy League Professor: GOP Supports Abortion Ban to Regain 'White Supremacy'
Megyn Kelly, Kirsten Powers, and Monica Crowley expressed disbelief over the attempt to link pro-life supporters with racists.
On Tuesday, the Republican-controlled House voted to impose a nationwide ban on abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy. The measure, however, will not be considered by the Democrat-led Senate, and President Obama has said he would veto it. Democrats criticized Republicans for what they see as a new attack on abortion rights. In a recent MSNBC panel discussion on the bill, University of Pennsylvania professor Salamisha Tillet suggested that this is a racial issue.
She expressed the possibility that Republicans support abortion bans so that white women will keep having babies, thereby "reproducing whiteness, white supremacy, white privilege."
Megyn Kelly, Kirsten Powers and Monica Crowley were all seemingly stunned by that remark, with Megyn asking, "How stupid is that statement!? There is nothing true or accurate about it."
Powers pointed out that if someone were a white supremacist, they would support abortion because the CDC's figures show "disproportionately" more African-American women having abortions, compared to white women.
"It's like if you don't want black babies aborted, you're a racist and if you're pro-life, you're racist. Why can't they just accept there are actually some people who think you shouldn't be aborting a baby after 22 weeks?" Powers asked. She recalled a few years ago when a pro-life group was harshly criticized by the left for putting up a billboard in Times Square "basically saying abortion was wiping out black babies."
Crowley said Tillet is so "blinded by her left-wing ideology that she can't see the facts."
The White House called the late-term abortion ban an "assault on a woman's right to choose," which Powers called the "same talking points" from the left on this issue. She said most Americans are against abortions after 22 weeks, and left-wing groups simply want to attack instead of trying to argue the merits of a very important issue.

DAVIDSON – The Rusty Knox Band takes the stage at 6 p.m. July 21 as part of the town's Concerts on the Green series.
A native of Davidson, Rusty writes music about life, love, loss, and rebirth.
"I have traveled across the southeast most of my life and have a very large family, both of which have given me insight and experiences that fill up my songwriter's journal with poems, ballads, prayers and random confusion... it makes for some great songs!" said Rusty Knox.
Rusty was nominated for the 2012 Songwriter of the Year by The Charlotte Music Awards and The Rusty Knox Band has been nominated for the 2012 Americana/Bluegrass Band of the Year by both The Charlotte Music Awards and The Carolina Music Awards. He has produced two albums, "Reason Why" and "Judgement."
"Rusty is a hometown favorite, so we're happy to have him perform for the community," said Community and Economic Development Manager Kim Fleming.

(Washington, D.C.) The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) today submitted an amicus brief to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Conestoga Wood Specialties Corporation v. Sebelius. At the heart of the case is whether a for-profit company must comply with an important benefit in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that ensures women access to insurance coverage for birth control without any out-of-pocket costs.
Conestoga Wood Specialties Corporation, a company that makes and sells wood cabinets based in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and its owners have petitioned the court for an exemption from the ACA's contraceptive coverage benefit. The plaintiffschallenge regulations implemented by the Department of Health & Human Services on several grounds, including an alleged violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
NWLC's brief underscores the compelling and vitally important interests the government has in including the contraceptive coverage benefit – namely, promoting public health and gender equality.
The following statement is from NWLC Vice President for Health and Reproductive Rights Judy Waxman:
"This challenge must fail. There is no violation of religious freedom here because the regulations requiring contraceptive coverage do not substantially burden the company owners' exercise of religion. They are free to exercise their religion as they see fit, but cannot impose their beliefs on their employees. The Center's brief focuses on the compelling governmental interests promoted by these regulations, including the need for contraceptive coverage to help women plan their pregnancies and protect their health and that of their children and for promoting gender equality by giving women the ability to participate in society. The contraceptive coverage regulation is not only appropriate but also makes good sense because it ensures that birth control is available to more women with fewer obstacles."
The National Women's Law Center is joined on these briefs by a wide range of national, state and regional organizations dedicated to ensuring women's access to this critically important benefit.

Home Hospice Care
Most patients and families seek hospice care in their homes. Care is delivered to these patients by a primary caregiver (usually a family member or friend) with the assistance of our hospice team.
Individuals living in extended care facilities, such as nursing homes or an assisted living apartment, may also receive hospice home care services.
Members of our staff visit the home or extended care facility regularly to assess, teach and counsel, as well as to implement and direct the hospice plan of care. During our initial visit, we will assess the patient's needs and provide the necessary supplies and equipment needed for Hospice care. These supplies may include a hospital bed, wheelchair and oxygen.
The Aurora at Home Hospice Program also provides medications needed for comfort and symptom management related to the patient's diagnosis. When a patient is not able to remain at home, Aurora at Home works with the patient and family to find appropriate accommodations in a local extended care facility or hospice inpatient facility where available.
If a patient at home has increased medical needs for acute symptom management, continuous care may be available for a limited period. In addition, respite stays for five days or less are available when the caregiver is in need of relief from 24-hour caregiving responsibilities.

Thanks Luann
Composing music is a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle in that one has to find the edges first !
Johann Sebastian Bach composed a cantata lasting twenty minutes or so every week, for soprano, alto, tenor, bass, three trumpets, two oboes, two flutes, violins, viola, cello, contrabass, timpani and continuo. Without doubt he was a supreme musical genius.
For the rest of us it is sheer hard work ! Finding fresh harmonies may entail evaluating hundreds of prospective chords sometimes over several weeks so it is necessary to be working on several things at once. Then the hand of God rests on your shoulder, and you suddenly have the answer.

Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez Fires Parents as Her Managers — Over Justin Bieber? (VIDEO)
Despite all the cute and cuddly photos Selena Gomez has snapped of herself with baby sister Gracie, things don't sound all that peachy-keen at home. The 21-year-old has reportedly fired her mom and dad! Well, fired them from her management team.
TMZ reports Selena "permanently reliev[ed]" her mother Mandy and her stepfather Brian Teefey of "all duties related to the management of her career." They've filled those spots since Selena made it big with Disney back in the day.
Why the change? Excuse us if only one word jumped to mind upon hearing the news: Bieber. Selena's been spotted looking awfully chummy with her former flame in recent weeks. There was that steamy dance session they booked (and filmed), then the reported makeout sesh. Just this week, the two are said to have had a late-night rendezvous at the studio where Justin says he's dropping some mad beatz.
Selena's parents reportedly aren't aboard the good ship Biebs, so could star-crossed love (or, you know, something like it) be behind Selena's split from Mom and Pops? She's not saying, though sources tell TMZ "family friction" wasn't the reason for the parting of ways. Selena simply "believes she's now old enough" to get a professional manager to lead her team.
What do you think? Is Justin to blame or is this just part of Selena's growing career? Hit the comments! Recommendations for agents also welcome.

Carving a unique niche in the ever and quite fast evolving auto industry in India is becoming more difficult. Under-four meter segment is witnessing a gamut of new launches every now and then and is creating challenge for luxury sedans and SUVs alike. But there are many people who love everything from power to performance and rich features which can be found in mid-range luxury sedans. In addition to this, they come with awesome pricing to suite the professional class. Renault Fluence and Skoda Octavia, two top D segment luxury cars, are among such cars having a large fan club in the Indian market. Here's a comparison.
Also check:Compare Renault Fluence and Skoda Octavia
Renault Fluence was launched in May 2011 and was the first product from the company after parting ways from Mahindra & Mahindra. Renault Fluence got a couple of updates during its Indian tenure and last month it got its second major update. This new facelift was showcased to the world two years back in late 2012 at Istanbul Auto Show. And this time Renault seems to be banking high on Fluence with extra touching to the exteriors and interiors to show the powerful brand identity. Starting with the exteriors, the front profile of the sedan is smiling and has now newly designed grille, headlamp cluster, LED daytime running lights on the front bumpers and more noticeable companys logo. Rear profile remains the same as of previous one.
On the other hand, Skoda Octavia was launched in the Indian market in October last year and superseded the second-generation nameplate Laura. Octavia is a renowned nameplate in the overseas market participating in motorsports as well. The all new Skoda Octavia received a lot of changes on the exterior front and is more refined this time around. It now boasts of new badge of the company that will be placed on all future models. New Skoda now sports LED daytime running lights, the first car from the company to have this feature. The rendered grille section is accompanied by the radiant headlights boasting of style statement. The side profile is enhanced with pair of 5-spoke glittering alloy wheels claiming authority on roads. The rear profile is equally fabulous that contains Lauras tail lamp cluster and twin exhaust outlet.

I have been lurking on this forum for a while wanting a f/s bike for some local trails and knock around. I notice all sorts of names mentioned but not much buzz on the trek fuel or Cannondale Prophet. I looked at both of these bikes brands and some of the giant as well, and liked the Trek fuel ex7. Around here these are the brands the lbs carry. It seems that you have to spend in this price range $1500 or so to get a decent f/s bike.
Am I on the right track or should I continue the search.

MySpace is finally ready to launch its OpenSocial-based development platform. According to Mashable, developers can now submit applications for review and the first set of approved applications will be available to users on March 13! In January, I talked about MySpace and OpenSocial in one of my previous post Facebook Platform vs. OpenSocial. Although it was announced last November, Google's OpenSocial partners are only starting to launch their platform initiatives with 3 large sites (MySpace, Google's Orkut and Hi5) launching over the next month! MySpace's Jim Benedetto did a great job at the O'Reilly Graphing Social Patterns conference outlining MySpace's upcoming platform's strategy.
When Facebook launched its f8 application platform it experienced a 37% increase in growth and the number of available application quickly grew to over 10,000 by the end of year. It is going to be interesting to watch MySpace's OpenSocial platform roll out as far as the number of applications being developed and if they do indeed bring users back to the site.

Metablocks recently designed and develop a Flash-based widget for the HR folks at Lockheed Martin that sheds light on some of the social media best-practices employed by departments in corporate America.

Users love feedback and the love real-time activity! At Metablocks, we always been big fans of user interface elements and widgets that convey real-time feedback! Digg Lab's Stack represents a great example (and a nifty visualization) of the potential power of providing real-time activity information. We recently built a similar visualization (naturally, inspired by the Stack) for a client in the music space to show real-time activity information on music tracks being played!
Simple Complexity's Chad Burt takes a slightly different view:
These are beautiful for visualizing the information they present, but there's one big caveat. This is all real-time information. Maybe it would be useful for Digg's own sysadmins to have this sort of information available, but for an end user it is just a pretty proof of concept.
I would like to differ, here is why:

MODERATES UNITE....Friedman's column is good today. It's been a while since I've said that....Posted by Kevin Drum at November 15, 2003 06:25 PM | TrackBack
I thought it was good as well. And an interesting contrast to Brooks'. Friedman extolls moderates to find their voice. Brooks condemns us as shrill partisans for finding it. I'll go with Friedman on this one.Posted by: libertas at November 15, 2003 06:38 PM | PERMALINK
Did you know that there is a way to link to NY Times articles so that those links won't break three days later when Times puts them in the archives? It involves linking to the item in the Times' RSS feed, and is endorsed by the Times, though they are not trumpeting it from the rooftops. For those of you who are interested I have some details on how to do it here: http://www.cadence90.com/blogs/2003_11_01_nixon_archives.html#106782745889066815Posted by: Lisa Williams at November 15, 2003 06:58 PM | PERMALINK

Agreement here, too. It'll be interesting to watch the effects of their proposal -- I want to be optimistic, but history warns against it.
Lisa: Thanks for the information!Posted by: logicalrealist at November 15, 2003 07:33 PM | PERMALINK
I've argued for years that Friedman is the best well-known American pundit on Israel and the Palestinians. This column is another confirmation.Posted by: Andrew Lazarus at November 15, 2003 07:47 PM | PERMALINK
Yeah, he's very good when he writes about Israel. He's just awful on globalization and Iraq. But still, it's not like there are many fanatical moderates writing about Israel. So he has some value.Posted by: sym at November 15, 2003 07:52 PM | PERMALINK
Yes moderates of the world unite and especially here in the USA. By the way Kevin, I believe that you are a role model for moderation. Keep up the good work.Posted by: Cliff at November 15, 2003 08:02 PM | PERMALINK
Based on the headline, I thought the column was about Dean, who really is a "fanatical moderate." Oh, the Bushies, with the SCLM, will try to paint him as a fanatical lefty, but he isn't. He's Ross Perot running for a major party. He's McCain with an excellent chance for the nomination. Though I still think Clark has a better chance to win. The Dean phenom is fascinating.Posted by: Upper West at November 15, 2003 08:17 PM | PERMALINK
Dean/McCain! That almost amounts to a revolution.

What Friedman is saying we all know:
Sharon worries more about missing his next meal than he worries about peace.Posted by: -pea- at November 15, 2003 09:59 PM | PERMALINK
There's one thing about the plan that makes me suspect that it is in trouble from the begining.
Friedman points out that the plan will only succeed with support from the US. But he also points out that the plan is based on the "peace initiative first outlined by President Clinton."
Bush will never support it.Posted by: Rick B at November 15, 2003 10:11 PM | PERMALINK
Oddly, Bush pays lip service to reasonable ideas on Israel. Wolfowitz, of all people, is something of a dove by neocon standards (pro-road map).
Unfortunately, Bush was distracted by more important things, like how you get into a flight suit.Posted by: Andrew Lazarus at November 15, 2003 10:37 PM | PERMALINK
Bush is putting some pressure on Israel behind the scenes, or at least behind the American scenes. He deducted some crap from Israel's loan guarantees as a penalty for illegal settlements, and I just read in Haaretz where Rice, whom he has watching that situation, is threatening more. This is the same manner in which Bush I helped push Shamir out of office.Posted by: Brian Ulrich at November 15, 2003 10:49 PM | PERMALINK
Friedman could learn more - from homeworksterPosted by: homeworkster at November 16, 2003 12:03 AM | PERMALINK
Friedman's sane columns are mostly about what a wonderful, open-minded guy Friedman is for coming up with sententious shit. His heart is only in the nutjob metaphor stuff where people drive around after throwing away the steering wheel (no problem, as long as they remember they threw it away). You can't stop reading until you find out what happens to the tender shoots growing into the spider web of the dice game in the rented car from the heart of darkness.Posted by: Roger Bigod at November 16, 2003 04:13 AM | PERMALINK
I do agree with Friedman's praise of 'fanatical moderates', and it's that which many Arab countries are actually trying to encourage.
I was lucky enough to be sitting next to a minister in the new Jordanian cabinet when flying to New York last month (she was on her way to receive an award from the UN) and we got talking about the difficulties of creating a political discourse in a country where the loudest voices are extremist. So while the Jordanian government doesn't have quite the democratic credentials that others might like, its members are committed to a process of creating a climate in which political disputes can be between moderates. And it's that problem -- of bringing a politics of moderation to a country -- which should make critics of the Arab world's lack of democracy pause. And, you could say that it's a worthwhile lesson for an increasingly polarised American polity.Posted by: nick sweeney at November 16, 2003 05:38 AM | PERMALINK
Bush is putting some pressure on Israel behind the scenes, or at least behind the American scenes. He deducted some crap from Israel's loan guarantees as a penalty for illegal settlements, and I just read in Haaretz where Rice, whom he has watching that situation, is threatening more. This is the same manner in which Bush I helped push Shamir out of office.
Maybe, sort of, not really. I always thought Bush I's role in the 1992 Israeli election was very overstated. It's true that he had butted heads with Shamir over large amounts of loans--Israel wanted it to deal with the huge new influx of immigrants from the collapsing USSR, Bush said they would have to agree not to use the money for the settlements, and Shamir refused--but as I understand it, that wasn't such a major issue in the '92 Israeli election. A lot of it had to do with the Likud having been in power for 13 out of the previous 15 years, 7 out of the previous 9 under Shamir, so a lot of people felt that there was too much stagnation in the government.Posted by: Haggai at November 16, 2003 09:01 AM | PERMALINK
There is nothing more enraging than someone exposing your faults — and being right.
I wonder if this is a veiled reference to a slow awakening on Friedman's part.Posted by: Brautigan at November 16, 2003 09:05 AM | PERMALINK
Today's Friedman column was halfway decent, though if you want to know what his hero Yossi Beilin thought about the original Camp David offer, you'll find it in the current November/December issue of Tikkun. Beilin didn't blame the Palestinians for rejecting it. He does say that it should have led to further negotiations, not violence.
I mention that because the usual line in the American press is that the Camp David offer in August was something the Palestinians should have accepted humbly and gratefully.Posted by: Donald Johnson at November 16, 2003 10:04 AM | PERMALINK
It was a good article. Thanks for linking to it.Posted by: ScottM at November 17, 2003 09:59 AM | PERMALINK
Friedman's first paragraph is just weird.
