Durban - Furious commuters are ditching Durban's unreliable bus service, which was disrupted again on Thursday by fuel supply issues.
There were also unconfirmed reports of a go-slow by drivers, apparently over salaries.
The latest upheaval is another blow to the beleaguered operator, Tansnat Durban Transport, which had to park off some of its fleet again this week because of a payment issue that cut its supply of diesel.
More than 50 uMlazi-bound commuters, who were left stranded at city ranks on Thursday night, marched to the company's depot in Cross Street demanding a refund of the value of their Muvo cards so they could take minibus taxis home.
But the offices were closed and only security guards were on duty. The irate commuters called for the Muvo system to be scrapped.
They said they were better off using taxis even though they were more expensive.
The Muvo card system was launched in July 2012. It is a single smartcard that can be used on Durban Transport, Mynah and People Mover buses by loading cash electronically on to the card.
One commuter said he spent R136 a week topping up his Muvo card, but people were not getting the service they paid for. "Since this Muvo system was introduced the bus service has been in shambles. There are buses in the morning but none in the afternoon. Sometimes we don't get a bus after (waiting) an hour," said Enoch Hadebe from uMlazi. "How can you not buy diesel and pay staff when the people have already bought cards?" he said.
Last week, the spokesman for the eThekwini Municipality, Thabo Mofokeng, said Tansnat had told the city it was having problems on July 31. "Tansnat management (said) bus drivers have threatened not to honour the afternoon shift, which could result in the disruption of the service."
A bus driver, who is not allowed to speak to the media, this morning insisted drivers were not on a go-slow and the problem was caused by the diesel shortages. He said drivers reported to work every day as required, but could do nothing if there was no fuel.
Mofokeng said the issue was resolved last Friday, but by on Thursday night commuters were stranded - because of both the go-slow and fuel shortage.
A commuter who asked for anonymity said it irked her to see a People Mover bus operating on Thursday night. "It is strange that the buses operating in the city centre have fuel and work all night but buses going to the township have stopped."
School children were left stranded at bus stops on Thursday, with irate parents forced to make other arrangements or drop them off at school.
"The municipality squeezes every last ounce of blood from us. If we don't pay for electricity, it gets cut off… but this is something we are paying for," said one Glenwood parent.
His son attends George Campbell Technical High School. "I've been going into work late every day. Productivity is down and the worst part is that nobody can tell us when the services will be back."
Tansnat's general manager John Wilkinson said the company had not received its fuel delivery on Thursday so had to operate on a "skeleton service".
"Diesel is still available but it is in short supply. We are expecting a delivery this afternoon (Thursday) and hope to resume full services (Friday)."
Wilkinson said the problem had to do with "a payment issue" and nothing to do with the shortages being experienced elsewhere in Durban. "We will get our deliveries and then things will normalise."

Blue Ox to become 'Depot on 1st'
BEMIDJI — A season of business changes will continue in early June when the building now occupied by the Blue Ox Bar & Grill becomes the Depot on 1st.
The building's Brainerd-based owner, Denis Villella, confirmed the news Tuesday. He hopes to open the new restaurant June 6, with a grand opening event later in the summer.
While the aesthetics inside of the building, located at 128 First St. W, won't change much initially, Villella said he hopes to "do some more family stuff." Like the Blue Ox, it will feature live music.
"We should get some good entertainment up there," Villella said.
The Blue Ox, owned by Michelle Soltis, has leased the building for the past three years. Villella and his partner, Dennis Coverston, will own the business as well as the building, Villella said.
Soltis announced earlier this year she was not renewing her lease that ends Friday, citing health and personal reasons. She had planned a final concert for this weekend before it was canceled due to the quick turnaround.
The bar's last day of business was Saturday night, Soltis said.
"I haven't even really had time to process the whole thing," Soltis said. "I like this place, but it's just a tremendous amount of work.
"I'm kind of just focused on what we have to do in the next couple weeks to get this transition over with, and get the next stage of my life all situated."
The Bemidji City Council approved transferring the liquor license over to the Depot on 1st Inc. during the May 20 council meeting.
The building was occupied for nearly three decades by the Union Station restaurant until it closed in 2005. Villella's Bada Bing!, which was operated by Denis Villella's relative, opened in 2008 before the Blue Ox took over.
Villella hopes the new business will be there long-term.
"It's a whole different environment today than it was 10, 15 years ago, as far as the economy," Villella said.
The switch will mean another change in the Union Square area in the southern part of downtown.
The Design Center down the street will undergo changes this summer as well, as North Dakota-based St. Michel Furniture and Sears plan to move into the building.

As you can imagine, Celebration VI is a bit of Star Wars cosplay overload. There were more Mara Jades and Stormtroopers than I could count, and several cosplayers put together mash-ups. I didn't see as many steampunk costumes as I thought I would, but Jen from Epbot's Lady Vadore costume more than made up for it. If you remember, we shared her tutorial on making the mask and the lightsaber a couple of weeks ago. Yes, she is crafty.
I love the way the beautiful ensemble came together, and she took care of every last detail, too. She carried around a matching card case with Victorian style name cards, and she presented them with flair. She might wear this costume again at Dragon*Con; keep your eyes open.

* C$ at C$1.0304 vs US$, or 97.04 U.S. cents * US$ stronger on data expectations * Bond prices mixed By Solarina Ho TORONTO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was marginally softer on Monday against a rallying U.S. dollar, which strengthened on expectations of positive U.S. data this week that could prompt the Federal Reserve to make a decision on its monetary policy. With little market-moving Canadian data until manufacturing sales on Friday, the Canadian dollar is expected to take its cues from U.S. dollar moves. "This is just a day of more universal U.S. dollar strength," said David Tulk, chief Canada macro strategist at TD Securities. Tulk said U.S. retail sales and inflation data this week will be key indicators for a market that is trying to gauge the strength of the U.S. consumer heading into the second half of the year. "We have the impression that the fiscal drag would be most prominent in the first half. So we're trying to see, once we get beyond that, what underlying momentum exists in the economy," said Tulk. The Canadian dollar, which was mostly outperforming other key currencies, was trading steadily around C$1.0304 versus the greenback, or 97.04 U.S. cents at 9:21 a.m. (1321 GMT). This was marginally weaker than Friday's North American close at C$1.0294, or 97.14 U.S. cents. TD Securities expects the currency to trade within the highs and lows of today's session, between C$1.0280 and C$1.0317. U.S. retail sales data is expected on Tuesday while CPI data is due on Thursday. Prices for Canadian government debt were mixed. The two-year bond lost half a Canadian cent to yield 1.136 percent, and the benchmark 10-year bond rose 2 Canadian cents to yield 2.478 percent.

Kim Kardashian Showing Her Stomach in LA
Just Like Us, Kim Is Still Getting Used to Her New Brown Hair
Just when we were getting used to Kim Kardashian's blond hair, she goes ahead and dyes it back to brown. The newly brunette Kim filmed scenes for her reality show with her mother, Kris Jenner, and sister Khloé Kardashian in LA on Tuesday. Over the weekend, Kim dyed her locks dark but later revealed that she instantly regretted the decision. She said on Twitter on Monday, "I'm so annoyed I dyed my hair dark! I wanted to switch it up since I feel everyone went light, and we started filming a new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, so wanted a fresh look. BUT now I am missing my light hair! HELP!!!"
While Kim may still be adjusting to her new 'do, her regretful tweet did put an end to rumors that she had dyed her hair dark to take part in a Vogue photo shoot in LA over the weekend. Kim's fiancé, Kanye West, has been very vocal about how he wants the reality star to cover the magazine, despite Anna Wintour's complicated relationship with Kim. While sources confirmed that Kim would not be appearing in Vogue any time soon, time will tell if Anna will relax her ban on Kanye's favorite lady.

Mega Man 6
Review by shigman
"One of the best Megaman games out there....."
Megaman 6, sadly, is the last Megaman game for the NES. It came out in 1993, 1 year after the SNES came out to the market. This is one of the best Megaman games ever, but it also is the easiest, for the NES that is. 2 of the bosses (Plant Man and Knight Man) where put on the game because those where the bosses won from a boss-making contest. Atleast that is what I hear. Mr. X is the villian in this game, but Im pretty sure you know who he is..... Well, onto the review!
Graphics - 10
This game might actually have the best graphics for the NES. Well atleast its very close. Even though it has the same sprites as in Megaman 2 and 3, you can tell how Megaman has evolved over the years. The backgrounds look very cool, but some of the bosses are pretty bland. I mean, many of the bosses have been done before. For instance, Plant Man is just a replica of Star Man in Megaman VI. Also theres Flame Man, which is just like Heat Man and Fire Man. But the game still looks good, very good.
Sound/Music - 8
Not much worth noting here. Just your typical Megaman sound and music. The intro music is quite catchy though....
Gameplay - 9
There ALOT of secrets in this game. Probably even more than in Megaman X3 and X5. But when I mean secrets I mean secret areas in the game. Each of the beggining 8 levels has atleast 3 secret places, on average. Each level has 2 bosses, and there both the same. If you get to the fake boss, which is the boss that requires no special skills to get to, when you beat him all you get is his skill/weapon. But if you get to the real boss (you get to him by using something special to get to him, such as a weapon or one of Rush's Adaptors) and you beat him (hes identical to the other boss) you get his skill/weapon, and either one of rushs adaptors or a letter that spells b e a t. If you get all of them you get to use beat. In Megaman 5 you had to spell out M E G A M A N V to get beat. Rush serves a very different purpose in the game now. Instead you jumping on him for him to transform to something, he instead serves as armor for you. He serves as many things as you, as a jet pack and one more thing, I'll leave that up to you to figure it out. Like I said before, this is definantly the easiest Megaman game, for the NES, even easier than Megaman 2. Megaman 6 can easily be beaten in one sitting, and it'll take 2 hours at most. Theres 16 stages, 8 regular levels and 4 levels to Mr. X and then another 4 levels to Mr. X again.
Replay Value - 8
This game has alot of replay value. You'll probably beat it once or twice, then never touch it again for a pretty long time. And then start playing it again. Well atleast thats what I do....
Overall - 8
One of the best Megaman games ever made. Surely beats most of the games that comes out these days....

JOHN PHILLIPS was one of the VWH point-to-point's most staunch supporters until his untimely death in June last year. His wife Scilla and sons George and Nick are continuing the family's involvement with the sport and were rewarded with a double at Siddington on Saturday afternoon.
The sunny weather brought out a massive crowd and, after efforts earlier in the week to provide better ground, there was card full of competitive racing.
George Phillips was the first on the scoreboard after Phantomsmask's all-the-way victory in the Member's and the Bibury family's red and white colours were back in the winners' enclosure later in the afternoon when brother Nick guided Forget Bob to an easy success in the Restricted.
Two riders scored initial successes at this meeting. Annabel Roberts, 33, who works in Peter and Jennifer Mason's yard at Ablington, got an immaculate display of jumping out of James Pine to see off his rivals in the Pegasus Club Member's.
Ryan Potter, 22, showed nerves of steel when his mount Road To Recovery prevailed in the Maiden.
July Johnson held the call over Shy John, Sueski and the improving Road To Recovery at the 16th fence, but then Potter made what proved to be a race-winning move.
Road To Recovery quickened past his rivals to gain the lead and extended his margin of victory on the run-in.
"I look after two horses at Brockhampton, near Winchcombe," said Potter.
Eleven horses lined up for the Confined but from the turn into the home straight the race developed into a battle between the favourite Ice Bucket and Knowhere.
The latter held a four-length advantage at the second from home, but Rolly Bowen-Jones and his mount had parted company on a couple of occasions earlier in the season so Ice Bucket's supporters had not given up hope.
Bowen-Jones did nothing wrong as he steadied his mount into the fence, but unfortunately Knowhere clipped the top, overbalanced and the partnership was severed, which left Fossebridge-based Ali Sterling to steer her mount home for a facile win. The Mixed Open resulted in a popular success for Chorizo, ridden by former Wilts & Glos Standard point-to-point correspondent Ollie Garner.
Chorizo made a couple of sloppy errors down the back straight but left his rivals trailing in his wake as soon as they straightened up for the judge.
With his wife, Chorizo's trainer Seanin McPherson, occupied looking after the couple's three young children, husband Graeme reported: "We bought him out of Rae Guest's yard at Doncaster Sales in August 2011 specifically to point-to-point from our Stow-on-the-Wold stables. We ran him in a Wincanton hunter chase last week.
"He likes good ground and his jumping has improved. His owner James Chamberlain is one of the Masters of The Cotswold, so he will probably go to Andoversford next and then perhaps have a tilt at one of the hunter chases at Cheltenham's evening meeting in May."

Lead qualification is all about separating the wheat from the chaff, but what are the most important factors lead qualifiers should use to assess leads?
For John Barrows, Co-owner and Managing Partner of Kensei Partners, it comes down to two questions: Is the lead a good fit within your company's target market? And if so, is it someone above or below the power line?
"There's a power line for every organization," Barrows says. "Beneath the power line are people who don't make decisions. They say no all day long, but they can never say yes. People above the power line, those are the people who make decisions, and they're also the ones we can have better conversations with." Above the power line your discussions can center around vision and value. Below the power line you're going to be stuck talking about bits and bites, speeds and feeds.

What is the One Exercise that Really Seems to Help Weight Loss?
Running! People who run often have slender figures and can maintain those great figures with their running. I have seen this time and again. Kent Altena is one of those people. Sugarless4life is another (she is on lowcarbfriends.com). I cannot be a runner. I am too top heavy for that and my knees would not take it either. I used to do a lot of ballet and unfortunately my knees can be a bit iffy sometimes, so I'm careful with certain exercises.
My eldest son is another example of a runner. He says he probably burns around 800 calories with his running in a day and would be hard pressed to eat that much extra over and above his allotted calorie allowance which is high to begin with as he is 6 foot tall. Anyway truth is Daniel is skinny and running helps him stay that way he says.
So there you have it. Significant running does certainly help many people lose weight and keep it off.

I have started power walking training, and now do 1/2 marathons.
This has been great for my weight , and my friend/walking buddy has had huge weight loss success for the first time in years.

Power walking is probably better than running - less wear and tear on the hips, joints and feet, etc.

Lashing out at Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy for "spitting venom" on the CWC decision to carve out Telangana State, Peddapally MP G. Vivek has alleged the Chief Minister was willfully making provocative statements to cause unrest among the people of the two regions.
Alleging that Kiran Kumar Reddy and DGP Dinesh Reddy was a two-man gang of robbers, Vivek alleged that Kiran Kumar Reddy's life was full of failures right from school days and was defeated by him in tennis competition several times. Alleging that Kiran has mean character, Vivek blasted the Chief Minister for opposing the Centre's decision on Telangana. He also alleged that Kiran Kumar Reddy has no knowledge of anything, but acts as if he knows everything.
The Peddapally MP also lambasted Kiran Kumar Reddy for speaking like chief minister of Seemandhra region only. Pointing out that the Congress high command had taken a decision to divide the State only after eliciting views of all political parties, he faulted the Seemandhra leaders for changing tune and blaming the Congress for its verdict.

893 F.2d 1334
Loyal A. BURKHART, Plaintiff-Appellant,
SECRETARY, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 89-1237.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Jan. 22, 1990.
Unpublished Disposition
NOTICE: Sixth Circuit Rule 24(c) states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Sixth Circuit.

it IS known that the Ally will NOT support adobe flash. You can call vzw cust service to confirm. That leaked doc didn't have all the details. Just in case you were hoping....

I just received the update the other day - and still don't have Adobe Flash. I love the phone and the shape, but with the lacking adobe flash I doubt I would recommend it. There's a lot you miss without that. I'm not sure the upgrade to 2.2 is worth all the hype without the Flash. Maybe they'll add it or someone will know how to add it. Waiting for some posts on that.

Just received the update yesterday. I loved my Ally 'til this last update ... home key doesn't work at all, I have to backspace through everything to get to the home screen ... deleted all my bookmarks & locked saved messages ... surfin the web isn't any different ... extra apps I don't use & will never use, therefore taking up space on the phone ... all keys wake the phone up, all I had to do was touch the power key or open the slider, I don't like that any key wakes the phone up, phone wakes up in my purse or coat pocket now... no Flash which sucks, I miss a lot not having Flash ... out of all the updates I had received since getting the Ally 10/2010, this one was the worst, totally screwed up my phone. My son has an Ally & it crashed twice since he got his. The only things I'm thankful for at the moment are the fact that my contacts weren't deleted & my SD card wasn't erased.
7. NERO (unregistered)
All my contacts were deleted! All i have left is my fb contacts! Add to that that some of my apps arent working properly and that makes for one horrible update. This had better beresolved soon...

The main character's wife was such a bossy you-know-what that it made me wonder what he saw in her in the first place. Great ending.
This one was sort of boring to me. I was hoping it would have ended differently.
A middle-class joe witnesses the murder of a friend. His description leads to an arrest. When he wavers on the stand and the killer goes free, his old starts to visit him. I takes drastic measures to make the visits stop.
Pat Tull-Boggs
A man is sent out to pick up some milk by his wife. He is told not to go to a particular store because he always ends up spending too much time there. Of course, he goes where he shouldn't and visits with the grocer and is there when an armed robber comes in and guns down the proprietor. He is left alive and is able to provide a clear and vivid description of the perpetrator to the police, much to his wife's annoyance feeling that now he may be a target for fingering the criminal. She is right, and the mother of the killer approaches the man in her role as both mob leader and mother of the accused.
Albert Bob
I have to say that the woman's voice of the wife was so annoying that I found it hard to listen to. This episode was not one of my favorites. Don't listen to me! I think that the reviews should be avoided because the whole fun of waiting for the episodes to air was wondering what tale would the CBSRMT would tackle next.
Well, at least Oliver won\'t have to put up with contentious Cassie. It was a release in more ways than one. Ugh. What a dreadful woman. She got worse once she got greedy.
Vicky Hernandez
This episode really gave me the willies. A good natured guy who just wants to help his friend gets in WAY over his head. As the wretched Ellsworth woman said, "You may be sadder, but you are much wiser." What an awful burden to carry.
This guy must have had a photographic memory - I couldn't describe someone as circumspectly as he did, even for people I know. Another tale of someone trying to do the right thing, even if they don't do it correctly the first time. I thought it was a fairly good story, even if he had a shrewish wife.

Terri's Jack Lord Connection
Your Only Son Is Drowned
Jack Lord's teenage marriage ended in heartbreak.
After a 13-year silence, he got a letter…
From Walter Rainbird in Hollywood
Detective Steve McGarrett has his celluloid enemies in the Hawaii Five-0 television series. But Jack Lord, the man who plays him, has enemies for real.
While McGarrett is an open book to views the world over, Lord - Honolulu's resident star - is accused of being aloof and "not on view" to anyone. Least of all to nosey mainlanders.
Lord, say his non-friends, has a compulsion to control everyone and everything. He regards himself as the only star in London Weekend's Hawaii Five-0.
Lord can rub people up the wrong way. Why he does it is a mystery to most.
Beneath all the ego-trips and carefully constructed facades is a man buried so deep that a few people ever get a look at him.
The dark corners of his life are blocked out. He never talks about them. Never mentions the names of those involved.
He believes: "The real victory is to survive." We are only supposed to know about Hawaii Five-0, its success and the 83-hour week he puts into it.
Yet I have one clue to Lord's real identity. The bitter ending of a teenage marriage left him feeling too vulnerable, to0 hurt, far too soon in life.
Lord was born John Joseph Patrick Ryan, in Brooklyn, the son of a master-mariner. Like his father, Ryan turn to the sea.
Just shy of 19, he signed on as fourth officer on a Mediterranean cruise ship. On board was a lovely 18-year-old girl, on her way to a Swiss boarding school. She was the daughter of an Argentinean diplomat and Ryan fell in love with her.
It was one of those fair-tale romances. By the time the cruise ship docked on the Riviera, they were Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan - married by the ship's captain.
While the girl traveled on to Switzerland, Ryan's tour of duty required him to sail back to New York.
But he was to see her only once more before the marriage broke up.
Back in New York, he received a note from his new bride saying she was pregnant and going to join her parents in Spain.
She added that they might regard Ryan's presence as an "intrusion." They were furious about her pregnancy, because they had wanted her to finish college.
Would he mind waiting until the baby was born before coming to Europe? The letter left him hurt and puzzled.
He had rented his idea of a dream house at Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. Did she mean she would never join him there? The baby was a boy. Ryan saw him only once. On that same day his young wife explained to him that she didn't want to continue the marriage.
She asked him for a divorce, saying her parents would care for the child until she completed her education.
Reluctantly, Ryan agreed.
Any letter he sent to her afterwards was returned unopened. She had blotted him out of her life.
Thirteen years later, Ryan received a slender envelope. It contained no letter, not so much as a brief note. The only enclosure was his son's death certificate - the boy had drowned.
His tragic first marriage over and done with at 20, left John Ryan hell-bent on "survival." One more experience was to heighten his resolve.
It was 1944 and Ryan already an experienced seaman, joined the war-time merchant marine.
The Liberty ship to which Ryan had been assigned put into an East African port to pick up manganese ore. With its cargo, the ship was running briskly along the coast, when a thunderous explosion filled the sky with fragments of the stern.
The torpedoed ship, helpless as a riddled duck, began to sink. The attack was so sudden that the crew wasn't able to get off an SOS.
The captain gave the abandon-ship signal and three lifeboats were launched. The ship went down fast. It was gone in seven minutes, leaving a mass of debris on the oily surface.
Drifting in a lifeboat for 16 hours, Ryan thought death was staring him down, while his youth called out for life.
If he survived, he resolved, he would pack the years ahead with purposeful and conscientious living. He would make a fresh start, with a new ambition, perhaps a new wife and a new name.
This was the beginning of Jack Lord, "the pragmatist," as he describes himself, "the tough professional."
All that mattered now was to succeed.
Along the route, a private miracle happened. He married an American-born girl of French parentage, called Marie de Narde. While Lord put everything into his career, Marie devoted herself to their home.
Their marriage has lasted almost 22 years and has never been in danger of breaking up. Lord needed that successful marriage. His dreams of success as a Hollywood star never materialized. He wanted the star treatment, but never got it.
Hawaii Five-0 gave him the chance to be top dog. Because he lives and works in Hawaii, Lord is the man of the hour, the star. After all, there are not many TV shows filmed in Hawaii.
Lord claims the show is his labor of love, an extension of himself.
He says: "I work hard on it. I give it my best. I allow nothing less than the best from those around me. That's the way it has to be if you expect to stay at the top."
He is so proud of Hawaii Five-0 that he threatens to leave for good if anybody tries to tamper with it.
A director who has worked with Lord said: "You have to treat him like Paul Schofield. Otherwise, he just won't react to your direction. Jack is undirectable. Since I am a director, I find that unbearable."
Yet against all the barbing and bitching that goes on behind his back, Lord sets his jaw and metes out huge helpings of praise for his own efforts. He said: "Five-0 is a fine show. And it has a great deal of influence.
"Tourism has been very favorably affected in Hawaii as a result of our show. Yes, it has real impact, you know.
"It's our jungle and we're fighting for our lives. Like kamikaze pilots on an impossible assignment.
"Look at me - I'm a god-damned monk. And my poor wife has been putting up with it for years."
What's the reaction from the men who work with him - his co-stars?
James MacArthur, how plays Danny Williams, declines to talk about Lord. Kam Fong, one-time Honolulu cop turned actor, who plays Chin Ho, says his lips are similarly sealed.
As for Zulu, (he plays Kono) a co-worker says: "Jack won't let him do anything. Consequently Zulu exists as a dumb Hawaiian as far as the mainlanders are concerned. And that bugs him."
People who know Lord are mocking him in war-chant fashion: "Jack Lord, superstar, are you as great as your great PR?" But they can say what they like. And Lord remains impregnable in the ivory tower he has built around himself - his lavish apartment at Kahala, over-looking palm trees and the Pacific.
Lord says: "It is furnish with the things we love - our books, our art collection. We have not children, no relatives and are totally dedicated to each other and to our marriage. Marie is all I care about in this world."
As for Marie? She says: "I don't think anyone else on earth knows all of Jack, because there are so many facets.
"But I do, and that makes me one of God's most fortunate women. Jack is the kind who never whimpers. He just squares off his jaw and starts all over again."
With that kind of dedication from his wife, maybe Lord feels he doesn't need to win friends or influence people. He said: "I learned long ago to have my own way. Once you begin to give here, you give there and once you've prostituted your ideas, your goals, you artistic concepts, then you are a hack who will sell themselves to a carnival if need be."
By remaining a closed book, this enigma of the islands reckons he is safe. But safe from what?
Perhaps Jack Lord is still struggling to bury John Joseph Patrick Ryan, the young man who didn't quite succeed with all his ideals.
So, as long as he continues to do so, Lord will seem aloof and all the things his critics say of him.

By Brett Auten | Twitter
A fight that could steal the spotlight just barely made it to the televised prelims.
With a disappointing shakeup in its co-main event and little more than mum from the sport's biggest star ever in the main, Saturday's UFC 170 in Las Vegas is no doubt lacking in social media clicks.
But a disgruntled eye can look no further than the first fight of the prelims when two budding flyweights could dazzle in front of several yet-filled seats.
No. 10 ranked Zach Makovsky will face Josh Sampo in a showdown that easily could propel the victor within shouting distance of a title fight.
"This is a fight we both wanted," Makovsky said. "Skill set-wise, he is as similar to me as anyone I have ever fought. Because of that it could go anywhere, anyhow. It's going to be a difficult battle wherever it goes. But I think I can be a little shaper, and a little faster, and a little stronger."
On one week's notice, Sampo made his UFC debut in December when he tapped out Ryan Benoit at the TUF 18 finale which garnered Fight of the Night honors.
"This is going to be a very cerebral fight," Sampo said. "He's a southpaw stance, which is something we have not faced yet. He's a very game opponent and a very likeable guy but I'm still looking forward to punching him in the face."
A 30-year-old Pennsylvania native, Makovsky (17-4) has won 11 of his last 13 and is rightfully lauded for his wrestling ability. "Fun Size's" last lost came in December of 2012 in a split decision with Anthony Leone.
Makovsky, a former Bellator bantamweight champion and RFA flyweight champ, entered the UFC with fanfare after his December win over veteran Scott Jorgensen by unanimous decision. The Jorgensen victory came less than a month after Makovsky beat Matt Manzanares for the RFA title in his organizational debut. That run helped put the former Drexel University wrestler front and center when it came to naming top prospects in the burgeoning 125-pound division.
"Having success in the other organizations was a huge part of my career," Makovsky said. "But anyone who competes in MMA wants to fight for the UFC. I just keep resetting my goals and upping my standards. Now it's about making a run at a title and seeing how far I can take this."
Sampo (11-2) has won five straight and eight of his last nine. "The Gremlin's" last loss came at the hands of Will Campuzano in May of 2012 when Campuzano caught Sampo with a knee for a KO in the third round of a fight Sampo was clearly leading on the scorecards.
Makovsky took note of Sampo's two-fight stint at CFA where he won the flyweight title over Alexis Villa and then successfully defended it against a game Sam Thao.
"I saw him fight Alexis Villa in the CFA and (Villa) is a great athlete and wrestler," Makovsky said. "We knew then that Sampo was someone to look at."
It's hard to deny the similarities between the two, even outside the cage. Both earned degrees with an emphasis in biology and both coach high school wrestling.
"He matches well with me in all aspects of MMA, Sampo said. "He has very disciplined striking with very good wrestling and I think a purple belt in jiu-jitsu if not higher than that now.
"The (Jorgensen) win helped push him up the ladder quite fast and the fact that I get to fight him next is an extreme blessing. We were looking to fight him before we were both in the UFC so this is a fight that we've been looking for."

text: It's showtime for the financial markets this month, as every speck of speculation that has pushed floundering public companies to the top of year-to-date winners lists will be proved right or wrong on their earnings release dates. It's not the numbers and words on paper that traders will be scrambling to ingest starting this week, as executives disgorge reports on their achievements over the past three months. No, it will be voices on the conference calls, declaring whether sales and earnings for the entire second half of the year look strong or weak. With many hundreds of iffy stocks bid to one-year highs since the autumn lows, you can bet that companies that merely declare that their business has "stabilized" will no longer be greeted with 10% pops in the next day's trading, as they were in April and May. Investors have already wagered on stability, at minimum. At this point, only firm declarations of sunny skies and a return to 5% to 10% growth or better in the calendar third and fourth quarters will do. If recent government reports on industrial decline and rising unemployment are accurate, the public's breathless recent move to bet on black in Wall Street's roulette wheel could be premature. But the Bush administration has so many ways to fix the wheel in its favor that bulls simply cannot be counted out. "It's a classic battle of wind vs. tide," said one investment (and boating) veteran in an interview last week, suggesting that bears counting on ebbing economic growth are tussling with bulls attempting to sail forward on powerful gusts of government fiscal and monetary policy. Mr. P, the hedge fund manager who comments for this column anonymously from time to time, said in mid-June that he had switched from crazed bull to cautious bear. Now he's ready to go further, projecting the possibility, though by no means the certainty, of new lows for the market in the summer. An S&P 500 index at 670, he says, cannot be counted out. He is particularly concerned about the potential for labor strikes over the summer in the automobile and telecommunications industries to put a crimp in business output and consumer confidence.

it's amazing how intelligent people fall for that investment-fund shell game
Did You Know?
The shell game, a swindling trick in which a small ball or pea is quickly shifted from under one to another of three walnut shells or cups to fool the spectator guessing its location, is a version of one of the oldest and most widespread forms of sleight of hand. Conjurers have performed this trick, which is also called the cups and balls trick and thimblerig, throughout the world for centuries. The version that became popular in the United States in the late 19th century used walnut shells and peas. Shell game thus became the popular term for the trick, and the trick itself became so well known that the term is now used figuratively to describe dishonest actions that are done to deceive people.

Speaking to the media here on Thursday, he said Dr. B R Ambedkar, architect of India's constitution, has long back proposed that Hyderabad should be the second capital of India. He has alleged that the Seemandhra leaders had neglected Visakhapatnam, because of their attachment to Hyderabad.
Undavalli claimed that the three small states created earlier were as per the vision of Dr. Ambedkar. Conceding that division becomes inevitable if people want it, Undavalli said the people who want to part should have majority in the Assembly. He has appealed to the leaders of both Telangana and Seemandhra to accept any decision taken in the best interests of the nation.
Claiming that there would be no harm even if the state were to be divided, Undavalli said the UPA government was striving to develop all the backward regions. He argued that a resolution of the Assembly was necessary for state bifurcation.

Georgia Town Passes Law That Says Each House MUST Have Firearm
With the gun debate that is raging, the pro-gun group will be spreading this story like wildfire.
Nelson, Georgia's city council approved the law, called the "Family Protection Ordinance", by a landslide vote: 5 – 0. According to ABC News,
The new law requires every head of household "to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition."
Sounds like a good idea to me, granted that the head of household isn't a felon and is of sound mind. For those who protest? There is no penalty. Not owning a gun is against the ordinance, but the city won't prosecute.
Seems that this ordinance would make criminals think twice about getting too cozy with the residents. How do you feel about the ordinance?

I wanted to start an official thread on this instead of cluttering up a thread about actual architecture with off-topic posts.
If you have not been following this, here are some ways to catch up.
What set it off: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/08/11/Witnesses-in-Say-Shooting-by-Ferguson-Cop-Unjustified
Aftermath (tried to get diverse news sources to represent a x-section of political leanings, hence the Brietbart news):
Looking for a related post on BLDGBLOG about the militarization of public space in America, will update when I find it.
I think it would behoove people to look into the St. Louis local news outlets as well. You are more likely to get a down to earth perspective that national news can't get.
The aftermath of the shooting has become something different all together. The mob mentality up against a militarized police force, only one of which is something new. The police forces in the US are become more and more reminiscent of the nazi brown shirts of the past, using brute force and intimidation to suppress descent. Is that telling of a larger societal swing going on? Maybe, but it is becoming very worrisome to see the police adopting the shoot first mentality (that even the military was barred from using in Iraq towards the end) add a total lack of accountability, and we will see rebellion. Lots of theories out there regarding the state of affairs with the police, but the outcome of the recent trend is beginning to become clear...
Matthew, would love to see any good local links or stories you have found on this. Are you local to STL?
I'm not up on it all but that line-up brings back my memories of Kent State only the shirts were army green. This isn't new; they brought out tanks in Detroit in the 60's. It's simply the mentality of law enforcement. Have you ever met or talked to any of these guys? I chased work during the jail/prison building boom and met many, took a number of groups out to party to get the work. A lot of these guys are Neanderthals. In my community these guys will chase down a traffic violator and kill the guy, or innocent bystanders in car accident cross-fires. They have had the good sense to throw two of the fuckers in prison, but it still continues.
Have an architectural story that says it all. Chased a regional jail and we had an inside track with a friend of mine that was going to be its director. Spent a lot of time & money chasing, touring, entertaining and got short-listed with only 3 firms. Did the interview and got the crushing news that night that we came in second. I obviously asked my friend why and he said the winning firm passed out key-chains made in the form of handcuffs before their interview and he said "they liked that". He was fucking serious and couldn't think of another reason. I thought my forehead was going to split open! Never chased another jail, couldn't afford the key-chains.
Best just to stay away from the entire justice system. Once stopped in one of those DUI dragnet blockades and I went off on the State Patrol Officer, I remember words like "Gestapo", "Dragnet" & "Police State" leaking out and he leaned over into my open window and smiled and said "Its going to get worse".
that looting deserves a militarized response, yo!
I'm afraid I'm not local, just a military vet who's disappointed with what's happening in police departments across the country.
Closer to home link here. http://demilit.tumblr.com
Sometimes I think the 2nd amendment guys are just kooks, but then something like this happens.
Here are three teens 18 and under who have been killed in Chicago since the shooting in Ferguson occurred.
Both situations are TRAGIC.
However one tragedy elicits riots, protests, looting, national media attention, comments from the president. death threats, cyberattacks, the creation of this thread, etc.
The other is business as usual.
Unfortunately, the more that comes to light about this case the less and less it looks like a "teen" being shot by the man and more like a misguided young man who's life ended according to brutally accurate statistics.
Stll - why spray paint shops of folks who had nothing to do with it. - Ever since The Oscar Grant shooting. - the Chronicle shows an Oakland PD cop beating the sh**t out of a protester
More violence overnight. The police tear gassed the protesters before the curfew started, supposedly because the protesters were throwing molotov cocktails. Sounds like looting is spreading to neighboring dellwood. the governor called in the national guard.
The difference between your three stories and this one is that it was a cop who shot the kid, right?
Reports this am that the kid was shot six times.
My guess is the cop ran out of ammo.
yep, you guys should really support and "pity" those poor folks who feel that justice can only be served with looting their innocent neighbors...oh wait, that innocent kid, probably did not try to use his size and aggression to attack a cop..i mean what would make this kid think he could just bully his way around? Someone should tell these cops that they have somehow surrendered the right to protect themselves...wait a second. (notice that the kid was not shot once in the back)
Yeah, it would conclude that the cop lost his temper and his mind. Two bulltets to the dome, and then the video of him left uncovered on the street for over an hour. Very bad policemanship on behalf of the Ferguson PD.
apparently the police at the scene threatened to shoot a reporter for taping what they were doing as well.
I think people don't understand just how racist the St. Louis area is. Cops like to harass dark-skinned people there - sure it happens in other cities, but it's much worse there.
Go to St. Charles and you'll still hear white people say "colored."
I think you'll hear them say worse things than that. I live in Kansas City, and the same is here. Kansas City lost all its funding and state grants back in the oughts, and all the school building have been for sale for years, that is right... NO PUBLIC SCHOOLING in Kansas City proper.
A complete shame on the public officials that didn't and still don't care about education here in Missouri. I don't know how it is in STL, but I imagine it can't be much more different.
This situation is about what you would expect if you were to pull the plug on public education, an then spend a decade militarizing the police with tax dollars. For Missouri to be located so far west and not too far from the most progressive state of the union, it is amazing just how far behind it is in its juridical thought process. Almost feels deep south.
i live in kansas city too! fairly close to troost.
hale cook elementary just opened as a new public school in the kansas city district. the future isn't all doom and gloom for us.
I agree with Xenakis and one other, what is supposed to be done to protect the innocent there? Ever since the death of Martin Luther King this seems to be the universal response to injustice. They don't realize that this kind of thing is only making things worse, not better.
In their defense though, what are we to expect from the disenfranchised? All our society has done is widen the gap and paint the disenfranchised into-a-corner. It has been 46 years of pacification. Look at drugs and gangs, they could control this in many ways but don't, they let it proliferate so long as they keep it inside their neighborhoods. Zaluchi said in The Godfather - I don't want it near schools -- I don't want it sold to children! That's an infamia. In my city, we would keep the traffic in the dark people -- the colored. They're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls... I swear they think this way.
from that source, it sounds like the media is becoming a bigger problem than the protestors
i don't want to minimize the real problem, because it still is a real problem with race and unequal application of "justice," but if this scene is just becoming attention whoring, and the media wants to see violence while the police want to play gi joe and be violent, the residents can go home.
Every aspect of media has been compromised. This is a terrific video about how photojournalists manage and stage scenes looking to get a photo that will sell.
The media devalues these kinds of situations very fast especially with fast internet media where the attention span of its readers is 160 characters or whatever a tweet is. I watched a conference in a church on this and when it switched to the newscasters they only wanted to talk about the intensity of the emotions and nothing about the situation really. Now they are talking a lot about agitators......then you have the convenient detachment of the internet where you can say things without consequences.........I lived in a small town in Missouri and one evening while having dinner with the family we heard 8 pops. We thought it was our neighbor doing construction. When we saw our neighbor run across our yard we went outside to see what had happen. I am writing this from memory, happened almost 20 years ago. The very short version - a white man killed a black man. It took a few days before the white man was in custody. Small rallies were held downtown once or twice and gangs or relatives (depending who you asked) sat downtown at night for a week or so - coming from st. Louis or KC. At the time, after leaving my girlfriends house I would drive late nights through the small downtown square to see a handful of people hanging out - not much happening. There was about 2 minutes a night a week of press coverage. Generally I do not remember talking about it much in school, the conversations were typically behind closed doors. Everything was very tense including football practice. Our headcoach asked some young white coach, probably 23 at the time, to say something - unfair to the young coach to say the least. He at best said he had went to school with black kids that were bused in - he didn't even live in the town. That is what the media sounds like a lot. On one hand the media is trying to relay the situation properly and pretend to have empathy, but I think at their current rate - with their professional lust for the spectacle they are really devalueing the entire moment in history.
