Tower History
The Travelers Tower, completed in July of 1919, is 527 feet
above the sidewalk and was the seventh tallest building in America,
at that time.
The surface is pink granite from a quarry in Westerly, Rhode
Created by Donn Barber, one of the foremost architects of his
time, the building topped by the Tower is actually the extension
of two other buildings erected and joined through the years.
The base of the tower begins at the tenth floor, where the structure
rises 24 more stories making the total 34 for the entire building.
At the 27th floor is a loggia, serving as an open observation
area, the four corners of its roof being supported by Doric
The roof of the loggia, or cupola, is pyramidal in shape, sloping
toward a finial surmounted by a cluster of gold-colored metal
globes varying from four to 20 inches in diameter. The finial
was damaged in a 1996 wind storm, and no longer sits atop the
Above the cupola, at the 36th floor level, is a beacon which
emits a bluish light, visible for many miles, serving as a guide
for night-flying aircraft.

Brighton and Hove's growing army of Twitterati can now follow what's trending in the city on the social networking site.
The city has joined the likes of Rome, Melbourne, London and Istanbul as featuring on Twitter's elite list of places where trends are monitoring.
Social media experts said it will boost Brighton and Hove's growing digital industry.
Jo Morley, digital marketing manager for agency Site Visibility, based in the Lanes, Brighton, said: "This is fantastic news and reflects what a hub Brighton is for the UK.
"This is something that will really help and support Brighton's digital-based businesses like ourselves by drawing attention to the amount of digital businesses in the area."
Before Twitter expanded its city trends, users were limited to searching either for UK-wide hot topics or on trends in London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester.
Trend setters
Now 100 more locations have been added globally, including Brighton, Yokohama in Japan and Ottawa in Canada.
Nationally, Belfast, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Portsmouth and Sheffield have also been added.
Twitter says the new function will give the people of Brighton and Hove "a great flavour of what's happening" in the city.
A Twitter spokesman said: "Trends are automatically generated by an algorithm that identifies topics that are being talked about more right now than they were previously, so you can see the 'most breaking' breaking news rather than just what's most popular.
"Trends feature all sorts of topics from TV shows, gigs, football matches, elections, and conversation starters like #nowplaying, where users share their music choices with other Twitter users."
Yesterday Operation Yewtree – the Metropolitan Police probe into sex abuse – and Christmas were trending.
In 2011, The Argus revealed that Crowborough man Iain Dodsworth had sold his company TweetDeck to Twitter for £25m. TweetDeck helps users manage multiple Twitter accounts and organise messages into multiple columns.
See the latest news headlines from The Argus:
- Man pulled machete during fight between group of men in London Road, Brighton
- Four people arrested after man stabbed to death
- Yacht runs aground on Hove beach
- Four arrested after raids on brothels in Hove and Worthing

With two races to go before the Chase for the Sprint Cup begins, the most important figure in the fight for the Chase's two Wild Card spots could be Tony Stewart, the defending series champion. Yes, that's the same Tony Stewart who has been a virtual lock for the Chase since he left Daytona with his third win of the season and in sixth place in the points standings.
While Stewart is still in the top 10, he's 10th, 16 points ahead of Kasey Kahne in 11th thanks to finishes of 18th, 32nd and 27th over his last three races. Late in the running of Saturday night's race at Bristol — after Stewart had been taken out of contention thanks to his run-in with Matt Kenseth — the driver that stood the most to gain was winless Carl Edwards, who could have closed to within 15 points of Stewart for the final automatic Chase berth.
However, Edwards, who was trying to stretch his fuel to the end, ran out of gas with five laps to go and finished 22nd.
10. Tony Stewart, +16 from 11th (3 wins): Stewart is still in the Chase, either via the top 10 or thanks to those three wins even if he hasn't officially clinched yet. However, if Stewart gets in via the Wild Card, he starts the Chase tied for last without the virtue of his bonus points for those three wins. If he stays in the top 10, he could start first.
[Related: Tony Stewart flings helmet at Matt Kenseth]
11. Kasey Kahne, -16 from 10th (2 wins): All Kahne has to do right now is hold serve. If he can get around Stewart and into the top 10, he could start the Chase three points off the lead. The disastrous scenario for him is if Edwards sneaks into the top 10 while Stewart falls out and a driver with one win wins the next two races. Not likely.
12. Carl Edwards, -34 (0 wins): You have to admire the gumption of Edwards in going for the win while trying to stretch it on fuel mileage as it looked like Edwards' best shot to get into Chase contention. His bed already made, pitting from the race lead with less than 60 laps to go to ensure that the car would make it to the end wasn't the right move at the time, but it may have saved 10 points — hindsight being 20/20 and all that. Wins at Atlanta and Richmond likely get Edwards in. Can he do it?
13. Kyle Busch, -39 (1 win): Busch is still in the Chase right now, but he's living on a dangerous edge. Simply outpointing Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Marcos Ambrose and Joey Logano seems simple enough, but if one of those four drivers wins and Busch doesn't, he's toast. Busch's stats at Richmond are insane, however. In 15 career races he's got four wins and 12 top fives. He still may be the best bet of the one win drivers to make it in.
14. Jeff Gordon, -55 (1 win): Gordon's third place finish Saturday night pushed him ahead of Ryan Newman and within striking distance of Busch. Plus, Gordon won last year's race at Atlanta. Repeating Sunday night puts the pressure squarely on Busch at Richmond.
15. Ryan Newman, -58 (1 win): Newman's chances took a huge hit when he made contact with nemesis Juan Pablo Montoya and slammed into the inside wall. His record at Atlanta and and Richmond is lesser than that of Busch and Gordon, and instead of being ahead of both of them with two races to go, he's now behind them.
[Related: Denny Hamlin wins at Bristol, his third victory this season]
16. Marcos Ambrose, -67 (1 win): If there were a few more races before the Chase, Ambrose could surpass all three of the one-win drivers ahead of him as he's recorded back-to-back fifth place finishes since winning at Watkins Glen. He showed some speed earlier in the season at Texas, the most similar track to Atlanta. If you believe in momentum, Ambrose is your guy. But it may be too little, too late.
18. Joey Logano, -108 (1 win): It's strictly win or go home time for Logano who bounced back with an eighth-place finish at Bristol after three finishes outside the top 30 in the past four races. In 12 combined Richmond and Atlanta starts, he's got just one top 10. But hey, his only top 10 at Pocono was his win there earlier this season. Never say never, but Logano's on a one-way street right now.

Raleigh, N.C. — Gov. Pat McCrory's administration and Raleigh officials have reached a deal to sell the 308-acre Dorothea Dix property to the city, which hopes it will become a "destination park" for the region.
"It's a very fair deal. We're both very happy with the way it came out," Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane said. "We probably wish we'd paid less, (and) they would be happy if they were getting more, which probably means it's the right number."
The city will pay $52 million for the site and has until Dec. 31 to identify a way to finance the purchase. In the past, city officials have said they may ask voters to approve a bond.
McCrory said the proceeds from the sale would be used to improve mental health treatment statewide. The Dorothea Dix site housed North Carolina's first psychiatric hospital.
The Raleigh City Council unanimously agreed to the framework of the deal Monday morning. It still must be approved by the Council of State, a group of 10 statewide elected officials that includes McCrory.
"This is a good proposal for both the city of Raleigh and also the state," McCrory said. "It's a much better proposal than the previous one."
Timeline: Decisions about Dix property Dorothea Dix documents
The sale agreement replaces a lease that then-Gov. Bev Perdue and McFarlane agreed to in December 2012, just before Perdue left office. That deal came under immediate fire from the Republican-controlled legislature, which said the state was not getting enough in exchange for the property.
While lawmakers threatened in 2013 to scuttle the deal, Raleigh and McCrory administration officials instead put it on hold as they sought a new arrangement.
Negotiations began in earnest last March and were sometimes contentious, with city and state leaders initially divided on price, the cost of environmental cleanup and whether the state would retain any of the property.
"If you've ever purchased a house, you know how complicated and how many details there are going into it. Multiply that by 1,200," McFarlane said. "There's a lot of property, a lot of pieces to it and a lot of buildings. It just took a very long time."
"I'm very proud of the process that we went through to get this agreement," McCrory said.
Lawmakers on hand Monday said the new deal was much better than the lease agreement, which they feared could end up costing the state money in the long run.
"The last one was a midnight deal that didn't even follow the correct process," said Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam, R-Wake. "They've got the price to where it's realistic."
Both Stam and Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake, said they believe lawmakers would not interfere with the deal. It does not need legislative approval, but the General Assembly could step in if it's unhappy with the terms.
Deal covers DHHS offices, environmental issues
An offer sheet summarizing the deal states that Raleigh will purchase the full 308-acre tract. At various points during the negotiations, the state had sought to retain a large chunk of the property to use as its permanent headquarters for the Department of Health and Human Services.
DHHS currently occupies dozens of aging buildings scattered across the property.
"One of our biggest issues, frankly, with that piece of property is the cost of maintaining those buildings," McCrory said, noting moving DHHS to new offices could cut the agency's operating costs.
The term sheet allows the state to lease back a 90-acre tract for up to 10 years at $1 per year. The state also will be able to lease two other tracts totaling 27.5 acres for up to 25 years.
Those lease-back arrangements will give the department time to find a new home for DHHS.
"We're going to do this the right way because I've got a very, very important employee base on that piece of property," McCrory said. "Before we move any of them, we've got to make sure we've got a smooth transition in place."
It's unclear where DHHS may end up.
"There's plenty of state-owned land in Wake County that we could use," Stam said.
Other officials say the state has looked in Research Triangle Park, although they deny any specific property is the current front runner. When asked about possible locations, both Stam and McCrory point out that the lease-back arrangements give the state time to find a new home for DHHS.
Another key feature of the deal settles the environmental liability for the property, which had a sticking point in negotiations. The city will assume liability for most of the property, but only after the state certifies it has been cleaned to acceptable standards for recreational use.
The one exception is the city will not take on liability related to the now-closed Raleigh Landfill site. Also, the city and the state have agreed to work together to clean up the site of a former power plant, which has been one of the most troublesome parts of the property.
The state also has agreed to give the city a 7.3-acre easement across the campus of the Gov. Morehead School for the Blind on Western Boulevard. That greenway will connect the new Dix park and the city's existing Pullen Park.
McFarlane said the development of the new park "will be a community endeavor," noting the Dix Visionaries group that has pushed for the deal for years has already secured $3 million to help in the design and planning phases.
"It's really all about the next generation," the mayor said, pointing to her granddaughter in the audience.
Gregory Poole Jr., a Raleigh businessman who has headed the Dix Visionaries effort, said he's glad the effort supporters have put in for several years has finally paid off.
"It's going to be our Central Park," Poole said. "We're ready, they're ready and the state is ready."
Dix part of larger redevelopment
McCrory said his administration also is working on plans to revamp other state property in downtown Raleigh "to make it a showcase" that will attract tourists.
"This is just the first of many steps," he said. "As the health of the city of Raleigh is exhibited, it shows the health of the rest of the state."
The governor said he hopes to extend the Main Street-style feel along Fayetteville Street north through the government complex to attract more people to that area of downtown on afternoons and evenings.
Lawmakers have already approved plans to gut and redesign the Albemarle Building on Salisbury Street, which McCrory called "an embarrassment to taxpayers." He said his administration also is targeting other state buildings that are underutilized, too costly and badly designed.
"I don't want it to be a dead end at the Legislative Building," he said, noting improvements would benefit both Raleigh and state taxpayers.
McFarlane said Raleigh's downtown has several distinct areas, from the warehouse district on the west side to Moore Square to the east, and adding Dix Park and the development that will likely follow nearby only adds another segment to downtown.
"The goal is to really have all of the areas connected, to make it feel like it's all one incredibly vibrant city," she said.

Education and Unemployment in Israel, 1976-1994: Reducing the Anomaly
In industrialized economies, unemployment rates are inversely related to education levels. Data from 1963 to 1994 show that Israel is an anomaly exhibiting an inverted U-shaped relationship. Workers with 9-12 years of schooling experienced the highest level of unemployment, in contrast to the 0-8 and 13 years of schooling groups that consistently had lower rates. Multivariate regression analysis of data for Israel, from 1976-1994, indicates that the inverted U-shaped relationship is moderating. The national unemployment rate and a time trend variable had positive and significant effects tending to strengthen the inverted U-shape relationship. However, an increase in the unemployment rate within the 0-8-education group relative to the 9-12 group and a decline in the labour force participation rate of the 0-8 group, overrode these factors, producing a move toward flattening the inverse relationship. The major factor responsible for the anomaly in the education-unemployment relationship in Israel appears to be the result of government policies intended to protect low-educated immigrants with large families. In recent years there has been a reduction in government support. This development seems to have reduced the extent of the inverted U-shaped relation, by gradually increasing the exposure of the least educated to labour market forces.

WASHINGTON – Congressional Democrats called anew Wednesday for an independent investigation of the White House to find out how an undercover CIA officer's identity was revealed.
Democratic leaders condemned the disclosure of the name of the CIA officer, who is the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV (search), a prominent critic of Bush's Iraq policy. They also want the Justice Department to appoint someone from outside its hierarchy to investigate the leaks.
Letting Attorney General John Ashcroft (search) investigate the White House that appointed him is like having a fox guard a henhouse, said Rep. James McDermott, D-Wash. "How could Congress sit here with a straight face and allow that to be the way this issue is resolved?" he said.
The White House on Wednesday ordered its staff to preserve any document that could be relevant, but Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said that should have been done earlier.
"Every good prosecutor knows that any delay could give a culprit time to destroy the evidence," Schumer said. "Issues like this one, which sow seeds of doubt about the fairness and honesty of Justice's investigation, will come up every day until a special counsel is appointed."
Ambassador Wilson originally planned to meet with House Democrats Wednesday morning but the meeting was canceled, officials said. Having Wilson at a partisan Democratic meeting would have given extra credence to Republican claims that the controversy is political, Democrats said.
Wilson has blamed the White House political operation and presidential adviser Karl Rove (search) for his wife's name being made public. While he doesn't think Rove himself leaked the name, "I thought that it came from the White House, and Karl Rove was the personification of the White House political operation," Wilson said Monday.
Some Republicans said the Democrats were just playing politics.
"Surprise, surprise, they are calling for a special counsel. My goodness," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas. "It must be in their political handbook, their campaign handbook."
The Justice Department is trying to find out who leaked the name of the CIA operative, possibly in an attempt to punish Wilson, who had accused the administration of manipulating intelligence to exaggerate the threat from Iraq.
Democrats want Attorney General John Ashcroft to recuse himself and appoint a special prosecutor, saying Ashcroft is too close to the White House to be objective.
Republicans expressed confidence in the Justice Department's investigation.
"The FBI will be doing the legwork and as a result I think we will find out what happened here and, clearly, if the allegations are correct, the crime has occurred, then it should be prosecuted," said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H.
Ashcroft has not ruled out appointing a special counsel, a senior law enforcement official said.
DeLay said a special counsel makes no sense.
"You have special counsels if you think the administration is trying to cover up or obstruct justice or is not interested in this issue," DeLay said. "It is quite obvious to me that the White House and the administration are very upset about this issue."
Democrats said the GOP would be acting differently if there was a Democrat like former President Clinton in the White House.
"Republicans would asserting that the Clinton administration had no concern for the security of our nation and the safety of our security personnel," said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Instead, "there are no hearings scheduled, no subpoenas on the street, no Republicans asserting that this is a serious issue."

Two hundred and eight four runners certainly had to brave the elements last Sunday with a very strong wind blowing off the Atlantic making the tough Trevornick 10 mile race even harder. This multi terrain race, sponsored by Trevornick Holiday Par, Personal Best Running and the National Trust, which doubled as round five of the Cornwall Grand Prix Series supported by Cornwall Glass and Glazing, provided the platform for a superb comeback victory in the Men's competition for Tony Brewer (Mile High) and an equally determined win in the Ladies race for Zelah Morrall (Cornwall AC).
Race tactics over the steep climbs, fast downhill stretches and constant undulations over Cubert Common and the North Cornwall coastal path, cried out for a cautious first half of the race, which were the tactics Brewer used to his advantage. Justin Thomas (Cornwall AC) moved into the lead after a couple of miles, with most of the top ten occupied by the yellow and green Cornwall AC vests and the blue and white vests of Mile High. A team race to savour was certainly in the making.
Brewer caught and soon passed Thomas before the halfway point, with Ceri Whitmore (Cornwall AC) and Cornwall AC's debutant, Paul Smith, running alongside Paul Whear (Carn Runners) and the Mile High pair Andrew Martin and Mitch Weegman in the chasing group.
As the miles ticked by Brewer, who, due to injury,has not raced since the Cornwall Cross Country Championships last November, continued to increase his lead with Thomas now settled into second place, also moving ahead of their pursuers. Brewer eventually crossed the line well over one minute ahead of Thomas, becoming the sixth different winner of the Men's race in the six years since the inaugural race in 2009.
The real interest lay in the battle for team honours, with Whitmore finishing strongly for his first Grand Prix podium placing, ahead of the rapidly improving Whear (4th), with Martin (5th) and Weegman (6th) being chased down by Smith (7th) and another Cornwall AC man, Steve Wherry (8th), who looked in great form moving through sensibly after a steady start. Cornwall AC team captain, Dave Buzza, making his 2014 Grand Prix debut crossed the line in eleventh place, followed by a trio of Mile High Runners, Richard Pascoe (12th), Nick Martin (13th) and Aaran Benney (15th), before a great run from Cornwall AC's Jason Webb (16th), secured victory for the defending Grand Prix champions by a very narrow five point margin. Newquay Road Runners finished third, some way behind the top two.
The Ladies race was equally exciting, led out by the An Res Hellys winner Eleanor Davis (Newquay Road Runners), closely followed by Emma Schuck (Hayle Runners) with Cornwall AC's Zelah Morrall in third. The race was only ever going to be settled between these three leading Ladies and on a downhill stretch approaching the eight mile mark, they were running side by side. Morrall who said afterwards: "I have always been able to relax and stride out going down the hills and this is where I decided to make a move, hoping to open a gap before the final climb at nine miles." The tactic certainly worked as the Cornwall AC runner crested the top of the final climb, with daylight between her and Schuck, as Davis faded a little in the closing stages. Morrall came home seventeen seconds ahead of the Hayle athlete, with Davis thirty two seconds later. In overall terms, only four race places covered the top three, with Alan Williams (Tamar Trotters) spoiling the party and infiltrating their space.
Cornwall AC's Ladies won their fourth Grand Prix team race of the year, enjoying a more comfortable victory than the club's Men's team, with Hayle Runners collecting the runner's up prizes and Newquay's Ladies, equalling the success of their Men, finishing third.

Google's deal to preinstall its software on Dell computers has us confused. Didn't Google complain to antitrust regulators when Microsoft did something similar in promoting its own search tools with its upcoming operating system?
Granted, the Vista operating system will be on far more computers, a dominance that Google said provides unfair leverage for Microsoft's embedded search box (The Justice Department disagreed). But the Google deal reportedly includes a co-branded home page on Dell PCs, which sure sounds like leverage to us, even though Dell says customers "will have the option of choosing Microsoft as their default if they prefer."
Details aside, the whole issue seems a bit outdated: The Microsoft "bundling" practices that got it into trouble years ago they once did. Back then, less-savvy consumers relied far more on desktop icons and other preloaded pointers; today, even people who don't use computers are familiar with Google and could likely to find it no matter what defaults appear on their screens. So while Google's arrangement with Dell certainly can't hurt, it might not be as important as the search company thinks--especially if it's paying up to $1 billion over three years for the privilege, as some sources speculated to the Wall Street Journal earlier this year.
Blog community response:
"So now Google is following same path which MS introduced a decade back by shipping IE with each version of Windows? I am zealous about Google products but now they have no right to raise finger on Microsoft when they continue their old dirty plan."
--Adnan Siddiqi
"Despite the fact that this deal will likely whip the anti-Microsoft hordes into a frenzy--DIE, REDMOND, DIE!--it bears noting that the terms are strikingly different than those of Microsoft's software distribution deals: Namely, the money's going the other way. Given enough capital, anyone could pay Dell to put anything on new PCs. It doesn't speak well of Google's dominance and market leverage, therefore, that it might have to pay Dell $333 million a year to install software that it is already giving away for free."
--Internet Outsider
"This is shaping up to be the start of a computer interface experience that's distinctly Google-branded (rather than only incidentally through minor inroads like Toolbar and Desktop Search). The battle for the desktop has begun."

Everything parents need to know about raising happy, healthy little ones. more
A fever is one of the body's ways of signalling that something might be wrong. It's also one of the things that mums worry most about because it's not always easy to understand what a high temperature means.
Most children have an average at-rest body temperature of between 36° and 37°C. A child at play might have a slightly higher body temperature, and a child that is sleeping might have a slightly lower body temperature. But, in general, 'normal' body temperature is right around 36/37°C.
A child is said to have a fever whenever their body temperature goes over 37.5°C. A fever that is between 37.5°C and 38.2°C is called a low-grade fever. A fever that is over 38.2°C is called a high-grade fever.
Because young children have less control over their body temperature, rapid rises in temperature when they are unwell is not uncommon. While temperatures of 40° are very high and extremely unusual in adults, they are not uncommon in sick children.
Fevers happen when the body turns its thermostat up to fight infection. Almost like we use heat to kill germs, some scientists believe that the body turns up the heat to kill germs that get into the body. A fever is not an illness, but is a symptom that something in the body isn't quite right. In addition to infections, fevers can result when your child is overheated and after your child receives an immunisation.
Most fevers are not serious and will go away in a day or two. Knowing when a fever might be serious means understanding why your child has a fever and assessing his or her other symptoms. But, regardless of what causes the fever, high fevers, especially in very young children, are serious and should be treated immediately.
Some fevers are preventable. If your child has a fever because he or she is overheated, preventing the fever can be as simple as dressing for the weather or activity. Staying out of the sun or wearing a hat can help prevent fever caused by sunburn or heatstroke. However, since a fever is often the result of an infection, the key to preventing fevers is to prevent the illnesses that cause them.
Because fevers actually serve a biological purpose, they don't really need to be treated unless they are very high. Most of the time, we treat low-grade fevers because they can make kids uncomfortable and cranky. If your child has a low-grade fever but he is still playing, eating and drinking as usual, there's really no need to do anything other than monitor your child's temperature every few hours.
Some kids always experience a high temperature after receiving immunisations. If this is the case, your doctor will probably advise a giving paracetamol or ibuprofen before vaccination to control the fever and ease the discomfort of the injection.
Higher fevers may require some treatment, if only to make your child more comfortable. Make sure your child gets plenty of fluids and lots of rest. Try to encourage your child to drink a glass of water an hour. If his fever continues to rise, you might want to give paracetamol or ibuprofen, but consult your doctor if it's the first time you've given your child medications.
Use sound judgment in regard to room temperature and blankets. A child with a fever does not need to 'sweat it out.' If your child is too hot, remove a blanket or use light blankets. If your child is shivering, put on another blanket only until the shivering stops, then take the additional blanket off. Shivering is the body's way of cooling down when it is too hot. Keep the room temperature comfortable, but not too hot or too cold.
Sometimes a lukewarm bath or sponge bath will help cool your child down and make them more comfortable. Don't use cold water or put ice in the bath, since that can cause shivering and actually raise the body temperature.
Never give your child aspirin to treat a fever. Aspirin has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a serious and life-threatening illness.
Young children with high temperatures can experience febrile convulsions as a result of a sudden spike in their body temperature. Febrile convulsions are fits that occur during a brief moment of unconsciousness. Febrile convulsion is due to the rapid change in body temperature rather than the actual temperature itself.
Most fevers can be easily handled at home. However, if your newborn has a fever, or your child has a persistent fever that can't be controlled, call the doctor right away.
If your child experiences febrile convulsions, consult your doctor.
Call the doctor immediately if your child's fever is accompanied by any of the following symptoms:

In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, long before the beginning of recorded time, there stood the world of Azeroth. Every kind of magical being strode the countryside among the tribes of man, and all was at peace -- until the arrival of the demons and horrors of the Burning Legion and their baneful Lord Sargeras, dark god of chaotic magic. Now Dragons, Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Humans, and Orcs all vie for supremacy across the scattered kingdoms -- part of a grand, malevolent scheme that will determine the fate of the world of
The Guardians of Tirisfal: a line of champions imbued with godlike powers, each one through the ages charged with fighting a lonely secret war against the Burning Legion. Medivh was fated from birth to become the greatest and most powerful of this noble order. But from the beginning a darkness tainted his soul, corrupting his innocence and turning to evil the powers that should have fought for good. Torn by two destinies, Medivh's struggle against the malice within him became one with the fate of Azeroth itself...and changed the world forever.

Prologue: The Lonely Tower
The larger of the two moons had risen first this evening, and now hung pregnant and silver-white against a clear, star-dappled sky. Beneath the lambent moon the peaks of the Redridge Mountains strained for the sky. In the daylight the sun picked out hues of magenta and rust among the great granite peaks, but in the moonlight they were reduced to tall, proud ghosts. To the west lay the Forest of Elwynn, its heavy canopy of greatoaks and satinwoods running from the foothills to the sea. To the east, the bleak swamp of the Black Morass spread out, a land of marshes and low hills, bayous and backwaters, failed settlements and lurking danger. A shadow passed briefly across the moon, a raven-sized shadow, bearing for a hole in the heart of the mountain.
Here a chunk had been pulled from the fastness of the Redridge Range, leaving behind a circular vale. Once it might have been the site of some primeval celestial impact or the memory of an earth-shaking explosion, but the aeons had worn the bowl-shaped crater into a series of steep-edged, rounded hillocks which were now cradled by the steeped mountains surrounding them. None of the ancient trees of Elwynn could reach its altitude, and the interior of the ringed hills was barren save for weeds and tangled vines.
At the center of the ringed hills lay a bare tor, as bald as the pate of a Kul Tiras merchant lord. Indeed the very way the hillock rose steeply, than gentled to a near-level slope at its apex, was similar in shape to a human skull. Many had noted it over the years, though only a few had been sufficiently brave, or powerful, or tactless to mention it to the property's owner.
At the flattened peak of the tor rose an ancient tower, a thick, massive protrusion of white stone and dark mortar, a man-made eruption that shot effortlessly into the sky, scaling higher than the surrounding hills, lit like a beacon by the moonlight. There was a low wall at the base of the tower surrounding a bailey, and within those walls the tumbledown remains of a stable and a smithy, but the tower itself dominated all within the ringed hills.
Once this place was called Karazhan. Once it was home of the last of the mysterious and secretive Guardians of Tirisfal. Once it was a living place. Now it was simply abandoned and timelost.
There was silence upon the tower but not a stillness. In the night's embrace quiet shapes flitted from window to window, and phantoms danced along the balconies and parapets. Less than ghosts, but more than memories, these were nothing less than pieces of the past that had become unstuck from the flow of time. These shadows of the past had been pried loose by the madness of the tower's owner, and were now condemned to play out their histories again and again, in the silence of the abandoned tower. Condemned to play but denied of any audience to appreciate them.
Then in the silence, there was the soft scrape of a booted foot against stone, then another. A flash of movement beneath the lambent moon, a shadow against the white stone, a flutter of a tattered, red-hued cloak in the cool night air. A figure walked along the topmost parapet, on the crenellated uppermost spire that years before had served as an observatory.
The parapet door into the observatory screeched open on ancient hinges, then stopped, frozen by rust and the passage of time. The cloaked figure paused a moment, then placed a finger on the hinge, and muttered a few choice words. The door swung open silently, the hinges made as if new. The trespasser allowed himself a smile.
The observatory was empty now, what tools that remained smashed and abandoned. The trespassing figure, almost as silent as a ghost himself, picked up a crushed astrolabe, its scale twisted in some now-forgotten rage. Now it is merely a heavy piece of gold, inert and useless in his hands.
There was other movement in the observatory, and the trespasser looked up. Now a ghostly figure stood nearby, near one of the many windows. The ghost/non-ghost was an broad-shouldered man, hair and beard once dark but now going to a premature gray at the edges. The figure was one of the shards of the past, unglued and now repeating its task, regardless of whether it had observers or not. For the moment, the dark-haired man held the astrolabe, the unbroken twin to the one in the trespasser's hands, and fiddled with a small knob along one side. A moment, a check, and a twitch of the knob. His dark brows furrowed over ghostly green eyes. A second moment, another check, and another twitch. Finally, the tall, imposing figure sighed deeply and placed the astrolabe on a table that was no longer there, and vanished.
The trespasser nodded. Such hauntings were common even in the days when Karazhan was inhabited, though now, stripped of the control (and the madness) of their master, they had become more brazen. Yet these shards of the past belonged here, while he did not. He was the interloper, not they.
The trespasser crossed the room to its staircase leading down, while behind him the older man flickered back into the view and repeated his action, sighting his astrolabe on a planet that had long since moved to other parts of the sky.
The trespasser moved down through the tower, crossing levels to reach other stairs and other hallways. No door was shut to him, even those locked and bolted, or sealed by rust and age. A few words, a touch, a gesture and the fetters flew loose, the rust dissolved into ruddy piles, the hinges restored. In one or two places ancient wards still glowed, potent despite their age. He paused before them for a moment, considering, reflecting, searching his memory for the correct counter-sign. He spoke the correct word, made the correct motion with his hands, shattered the weak magic that remained, and passed on.
As he moved through the tower, the phantoms of the past grew more agitated and more active. Now with a potential audience, it seemed that these pieces of the past wished to play themselves out, if only to be made free of this place. Any sound they once possessed had long-since eroded away, leaving only their images moving through the halls.
The interloper passed an ancient butler in dark livery, the frail old man shuffling slowly down the empty hallway, carrying a silver tray and wearing a set of horse-blinders. The interloper passed through the library, where a green-fleshed young woman stood with her back to him, pouring over an ancient tome. He passed through a banquet hall, at one end a group of musicians playing soundlessly, dancers twirling in a gavotte. At the other end a great city burned, its flames beating ineffectively against the stone walls and rotting tapestries. The trespasser moved through the silent flames, but his face grew drawn and tense as he witnessed once more the mighty city of Stormwind burn around him.
In one room three young men sat around a table and told now-unknown lies. Metal mugs were scattered on the table's surface as well as beneath it. The trespasser stood watching this image for a long time, until a phantom taverness brought another round. Then he shook his head and pressed on.
He reached nearly the ground level, and stepped out on a low balcony that hung precariously to the wall, like a wasps' nest over the main entrance. There, in the wide space before the tower, between the main entrance and a now-collapsed stables across the bailey, stood a single ghostly image, lonely and separated. It did not move like the others, but rather stood there, waiting, tentative. A piece of the past that had not been released. A piece that was waiting for him.
The immobile image was of a young man with a skunk stripe of white running through his dark, untidy head of hair. The straggling fragments of a beard, newly grown, clung to his face. A battered rucksack lay at the youth's feet, and he held a red-sealed letter with a deathlike grip.
This was well and truly no ghost, the trespasser knew, though the owner of this image may yet be dead, fallen in combat beneath a foreign sun. This was a memory, a shard of the past, trapped like an insect in amber, waiting for its release. Waiting for his arrival.
The trespasser sat on the stonework ledge of the balcony and looked out, beyond the bailey, beyond the hillock, and beyond the ringed hills. There was silence in the moonlight, as the mountains themselves seemed to be holding their breath, waiting for him.
The trespasser lifted a hand and intoned a series of chanted words. Softly came the rhymes and rhythms the first time, then louder, and finally louder still, shattering the calm. In the distance wolves picked up his chant and cast it back in howling counterpoint.
And the image of the ghostly youth, its feet seemingly trapped in mud, took a deep breath, hoisted his rucksack of secrets to his shoulder, and slogged his way toward the main entrance of Medivh's Tower.

Texas didn't wait long to assert its dominance over Michigan on the boards, missing a putback on its first possession. Michigan's Nik Stauskas didn't hesitate to make his mark early, notching a three from the top off a screen to give the Wolverines a 3-0 lead on the way to a 79-65 win.
Texas rallied to grab a 6-3 lead, but Stauskas answered again with a triple in transition to tie it at 15:15. The pace was slower early, in part because neither team shot extremely well. U-M got it going, though, with a LeVert triple from the top followed by a Walton jumper in transition.
The Wolverines were running, and Texas didn't seem interested in trying to keep pace on defense. Robinson III hit yet another Michigan triple at the 12:30 mark to make it 16-8.
The first TV timeout didn't occur until the 11:25 mark of the first half. The Longhorns had struggled to that point, making only five of 16 shots. They did corral three offensive rebounds, but U-M was decent on the glass. The Wolverines matched Texas with nine rebounds overall and were 4-for-8 from three-point range, led by Stauskas' pair.
Stauskas hit yet another triple coming out of the timeout to make it 19-10 when the Longhorns left him alone, and LeVert sent it to the second timeout at 21-10 with a free throw to come (which he'd make) after a finish and foul 10:35.
The Wolverines had outrebounded the bigger Longhorns 10-9 at that point.
Texas went to a zone after scoring inside, but freshman Zak Irvin busted it with a long three from the top. When LeVert drove and scored nearly uncontested on the next possession, Michigan was up 27-12 and still had no fouls. U-M still maintained a 12-10 advantage on the glass, and Stauskas and LeVert had combined for 17 of Michigan's 27 points.
Irvin scored his fourth through sixth coming out of the timeout to make it 30-12. The band played "Deep In The Heart of Texas" at that point, and TheWolverine.com Senior Editor John Borton boldly predicted that's where the Longhorns would be for the rest of the tournament.
Texas started crashing the glass at that point, but the Longhorns had to earn everything they got. Morgan gave U-M its biggest lead, 32-14, when he drove and was fouled, making two free throws. He made two more on the next trip to match a Texas drive and finish.
Robinson III came out of the next timeout on fire. He finished an alley-oop from Stauskas and hit a jumper on the next possession, but Texas heated up. The Longhorns cut it to 12, 38-26, on a pair of triples and an offensive rebound. U-M answered with a pick and roll slam from Stauskas, and LeVert added a three the next time down to push it back to 43-26 at 1:17, a solid answer to the mini-run. The half ended 43-30, though, on four straight Texas points.
LeVert led U-M with 11 points at the break, Stauskas had nine and Robinson III seven. Morgan added eight points and four rebounds. Texas had six offensive rebounds at the break, but Michigan's 53.6 percent three-point shooting (8-for-15 triples) kept them well ahead, and they only had two turnovers against 10 assists in the half.
Michgian started the second half the same way it started the first - with a triple. Walton Jr. scored after a LeVert miss to push the lead to 16 against Texas' 2-3 zone. Morgan then answered with a dunk following Holmes finish at the other end.
A second Walton triple followed a Javan Felix three and the lead remained 16 at 17:30. It would have been more, but the Wolverines couldn't convert six-footers after getting it inside Texas' zone.
Two Stauskas free throws made it 53-35 at 15:35. LeVert missed a chance to expand it, though, when he bricked two free throws.
Texas stayed in its zone, and the Wolverines went cold. The Longhorns made a run and cut it to 53-41 at 12:30 on a cut and finish by guard Isaiah Taylor. Morgan missed an easy one inside and Taylor cut it to 10 with a floater on the other end.
Stauskas went four straight possessions without a touch, and U-M called timeout. They went to him against Texas' 1-3-1 on the next possession and he tripled.
U-M couldn't keep the Longhorns off the offensive glass, however. Texas got second chance after second chance and cut it to nine with two Taylor free throws at 10:38. Taylor had 18 at that point and the Longhorns were at 16 offensive rebounds, 10 in the second half.
Stauskas drove but missed a dunk, and Texas was within eight on a Holmes free throw at 9:55. Robinson pushed it back to a 10-point edge with two free throws at 9:30. Stauskas missed a triple badly, and Texas pulled back within eight on a pair of free throws following yet another offensive rebound. Irvin turned it over on the inbound, and the Longhorns were within six when Taylor's floater connected seconds later.
Robinson, though, took over on offense. He answered with a huge drive and tough finish at 7:20 to make it an eight-point edge, and he tripled the next time down to expand it back to 11. It was 12 when freshman Spike Albrecht tripled from the corner at 6:10.
Texas, though, continued to make their free throws and hammer the boards. They had 13 offensive rebounds in the half at 5:34 and were 15-for-16 from the line - not bad for a 66 percent free throw shooting team.
Michigan missed a number of chances to put it away, and Texas pulled within eight again. But LeVert's huge triple at 2:40 pushed it back to 11. Taylor missed, Albrecht rebounded and Morgan was intentionally fouled at the other end, making both free throws. Albrecht followed with two more and it was 75-60 and all but over at 2:10.
U-M ended it at the free throw line to make the Sweet 16 for the second straight year.
Morgan finished with 15 points and nine rebounds in an outstanding showing. Stauskas led Michigan scorers with 16 points and added eight assists, Robinson and LeVert added 14 each and Walton scored eight.

Cap and ball? Oh boy- we had a big discussion on that a while back. I was in the minority as far as carrying those loaded with 6 chambers but there was such an uproar that I decided even on a percussion only load 5 and have the hammer on an empty cylinder.
BUT, just to be a (&*%^&* I'll say that a few percussion revolvers have good pins or deep cuts that OUGHT TO make carrying six okay except if you catch the spur of the hammer on something, etc. In any event, I'll go along with the crowd and say load just five.
They say the average gun fight is at 7 yards, I've had two home invasions and both times there were multiple guys- 2 once and 5 on the second. I'm not sure if a 6th round would make all the difference if the shooting started. Dive for cover.

It's busy on both sides of the camera.
With William Petersen (Gil Grissom) leaving CSI: Crime Scene Investigation this week, Laurence Fishburne's Dr Raymond Langston will be coming into the lab full time. However, even the ones behind the scenes aren't sure where things are heading for the new guy. "We don't know what the character is going to be," Fishburne told TV Guide. "The wonderful thing about this whole television thing is that we're all discovering it, we're trying to create it from episode to episode to episode."
When it was first revealed that CSI would be getting a new major character, spoilers indicated that he would have a genetic predisposition to violence. Executive producer Naren Shankar said that facet of the character is no longer on the table because the information was out of date. "Very early research on the character had indicated that there was a syndrome that was sort of more prevalent in serial killers," Shankar said. "That turned out not to be the case."
Petersen is expected to be back behind the scenes when William Friedkin ("Cockroaches") returns to direct CSI's 200th episode. The episode will be filmed in Las Vegas, which hasn't happened in a long time. While Petersen will be around for episode 200, he probably won't appear on screen. However, executive producer Carol Mendelsohn promised that he would be back eventually. "Grissom will come back in an organic way, to visit or be on a case with the people that are his family," she shared. Fishburne jokingly added, "Billy said he would be back to make sure I didn't burn the joint down."
Country star Taylor Swift will visit CSI to guest star in an upcoming episode. In her acting debut, Swift will portray Haley Jones, the troubled teenage daughter of seedy motel owners. Changes that occurred to the character over the past year have produced tragic results. Shankar explained that the episode will start in the present before revisiting the past, season by season. Swift, he said, would have a lot of dramatic moments in the episode.
The original information is from TV Guide. Additional information about Swift's role on CSI is from NBC Philadelphia.

ROCHFORD Council fears overdevelopment in Wickford could lead to it merging with Rawreth.
Major development is in store for Wickford over the next 17 years, which campaigners claim could change the face of the town forever.
About 2,800 homes are planned by 2031 as part of Basildon Council's local plan, with 760 homes to the south, 620 to the north-west, 220 on the western edge and 150 to the north-east.
Rochford Council shares residents' concerns claiming the influx of new homes – particularly plans for 150 properties north east of Wickford – will lead to the town becoming indistinguishable from neighbouring Rawreth.
In a report by Keith Hudson, Rochford councillor for planning, it said: "Rochford Council has concerns regarding proposed development within this location, particularly in relation to potential impact on infrastructure in the neighbouring towns and villages in Rayleigh and Rawreth."
The report criticises Basildon Council for choosing to build 800 homes a year up until 2031 when a housing market assessment, published in December, recommends it builds 600 homes a year.
Mr Hudson also raises concerns Basildon Council has not done enough to take on housing demand from other boroughs, such as Castle Point, which is struggling to meet housing targets.
The report states: "The strategic housing market assessment calculated a need of 600 dwellings per annum specifically for Basildon. However, Basildon Council has produced a paper which mentions 800 dwellings per annum.
"We are concerned Basildon Council appears to have taken such an approach in isolation and without consideration as to the wider housing market area.
"It is unclear if the council has considered whether it could accommodate the needs of other local authorities where it has been demonstrated there is likely to be an under-supply.
"Neighbouring Castle Point Council, for example, has advised in its recent new local plan consultation that it may only be able to accommodate half its housing needs up to 2031."


text: The 42" BFG Tires were awesome. We had to call it quits at180 miles but for those miles we were ruling the desert. The Drive train package with the 42" Tires is the Ticket! My co-driver, RJ just keeps saying WOW! Clearance the truck for the massive 42" tire was easy. We just had to trim some fiberglass. Beefing up the drive train and developing a wheel with TrailReady Wheels in such a short time frame, from when we saw the opportunity to run the new Development Tire, took a lot of work. TrailReady made the wheels custom for my truck, they held up great with no issues. We ran hard and heavy with 2 spares and 75 gallons of fuel. With the help from Geiser Bros. and Nate at Blitz Creed, we upgraded our lug pattern to 6 on 6 1/2 and a new TubeWorks housing. We now utilized overdrive on our 4L80 built by Zero Gravity Transmissions at speeds over 100-110 miles per hour. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear are so close that the motor never stops pulling strong. Jason at TubeWorks developed a new output shaft for the 4L80 that allowed the transmission to connect to his under drive. The transmission and under drive package is the key to running the 42" BFG tires. Because of all the upgrades and the amount of time we had to work with, we were not able to test the drive train and tire package before qualifying. Our first test session was going to be qualifying, but during the practice lap a cap on the third member broke due to previous fatigue. After not being able to qualify we had to start in 39th position. During the first lap at the Mint 400 the Truck felt dominating. 1 Cars and UTs just kept coming to us as we passed them. We passed several formidable Unlimited Truck competitors in the BIG stuff. I am told that we picked up more than 30 positions in the first lap. Frankenstein was charging through the dust and holding pace with the leaders. The approach angle of the 42" tire on the terrain keeps the tire from flailing around. It just rolls over the rock instead of bouncing over the rock. The clearance down the middle allows you to center the obstacle instead of having to drive around it. When you hit the soft silty stuff, they just go right through it. Half way through the second lap the bolts holding the converter to the flex plate sheered and we lost an ear off the converter. We made the mistake of going for a quick fix. We put back in the 2 bolts and welded the converter to the flex plate in place of the third bolt. Having not compensating for the lost weight of the converter ear, the motor vibrated. We took a guess at how much weight was lost and welded a piece of steel to the flex plate. The weight was close but the vibration was still there. After we went back to racing the vibration caused the harmonic balance to loosen and on its way off, it destroyed the key way on the crankshaft. After several attempts to fix it we reluctantly had to pull the plug on the race! I want to thank the sponsors who made the most incredible 100 mile lap of my life possible! Geiser Bros., Rick and Jeff for everything they do for me; BFGoodrich for the privilege and honor to be the first to race on 42" tires; TrailReady Wheels, Larry for developing the 20' wheel in such a short time that made this possible; TubeWorks, Jason the under drive; Zero Gravity Transmissions, a transmission that has held up to my abuse going on five years; King Shocks, for helping customizing the shocks to control the 42" tire and giving me 2" more bump in the rear; and my family for all the time I was not able to spend with them, because I had to dedicate so much of my time to put this package together. WOW, what a ride!!! The Desert Just Got SMALLER!!! Our next event will be displaying Frankenstein at the Lucas Oil Race at Speedworld in Surprise, AZ. This year we will be racing for Fuel the Cure, which is a foundation to raise awareness and money for Type 1 Diabetes. We were brought into the world of Type 1 Diabetes 6 months ago when our 7 year old Wyatt, who is my inspiration to me when it comes to toughen things out. If anyone would like to help by displaying Fuel for the Cure stickers on your race vehicle or be a part of this foundation please contact me (602) 463-0936, or Kristin (602) 677-4084.

MADISON, Wis. - Walk-on guard Zak Showalter expected the 2012-13 season to be the one he called his redshirt year - one used on working on skills he felt needed improvement.
But one Josh Gasser torn ACL later and Showalter was ushered on to the team's everyday roster. He wound up playing in 22 games and averaging 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds per game.
With "Showy" - the nickname Showalter's coaches and teammates call him by - playing a full season, it appeared that redshirting was no longer in the cards. Yet this season, the former in-state standout from Germantown found himself in the midst of a crowded, talented and experienced Badger backcourt. After considering his options, the 6-foot-2, 192-pound guard ultimately decided upon the idea of redshirting his second year.
"First, just looking at playing time now and how it would be compared to the future," Showalter said of his reasoning behind the decision. "I just thought that the future would look brighter than what the situation looked like now."
With Gasser, a redshirt junior, Traevon Jackson, a junior, Ben Brust, a senior, and true freshman Bronson Koenig expected to get the bulk of the playing time, the opportunity to see minutes in the backcourt was a long shot. That isn't even including redshirt sophomore guard George Marshall, who was on the Wisconsin roster at the beginning of the season but after playing time became an issue, elected to transfer.
The thought of removing his redshirt once the news of Marshall's transfer broke never once crossed Showalter's mind.
"I don't think it's worth it now after already sitting out 11 games," he said. "I don't think it would be worth it for me to come back now."
The purpose of a redshirt year is to give a player time to hone in on refining certain areas of his skill-set to make his overall game better. Showalter believes that working on strong ball handling and developing a consistent shot - "I want to make 40 percent of my threes next year," he said - are the main areas of focus for him between now and next season.
Although he has yet to be on the active roster at the same time as Showalter, Gasser still recognizes the talent and ability he brings to the table.
"He's obviously a really talented player and he works extremely hard," Gasser said of Showalter. "He's one of those tough kids who will take charges, dive on the floor, get loose balls, so it's just about developing the other stuff in his game.
"You know what you're going to get from him every night," Gasser continued, "but if he can make his threes a bit more consistently, get better in the post and with his ball-handling, then he'll be an even better player."
While the year is dedicated to working on individual skills, another aspect of being a redshirt is playing a vital role on the scout team. Every day, every practice, Showalter - and the team's three other redshirts in Riley Dearring, Aaron Moesch, and Jordan Smith - takes on a personality of a different player. One day he's a sharp-shooter, the next he's a stout defender; one day he's a guard who plays solely in the post, the next he's heavily involved in pick-and-rolls.
At first glance, having to adapt to different styles of play could get in the way of a player's training to achieve their own personal goals, but it usually turns out just the opposite.
"I think it can make you a better player because you're doing some things that maybe you wouldn't be doing if you weren't in the top eight and playing regularly," assistant coach Gary Close said of the struggle for Showalter between imitating opposing players and refining his own game."
What's more is that Showalter can play different positions and defend different players without there being too much pressure on him to perform.
"He's also doing things that the scout coach is telling him to do like, 'I want you to shoot this three, I want you to come off that screen and fire it and I don't care if it's stuff that you may not be able to do.' Hopefully it adds some things to his game," Close added. "If he screws up, he screws up. It's not that big of a deal."
For Showalter's part, it isn't about a lack of confidence. It's simply about the realities of this season. "[Last year] I was trying to get on to that first team but now there's no chance of that," Showalter said. "I definitely am a fan and I try to pump up my teammates and help us do whatever it is we have to get the win. I'm not used to it at all, but I'm trying to do as much as I can to be a presence on this team. I'm hanging in there."
Having such a long-term perspective and following such a well-developed strategy is rare for a 19-year-old who Close describes as a player who, "works so hard that it's impossible for him not to improve."
What's clear is that Showalter has no regrets.
"Oh of course [it was tough]," Showalter said of his decision to redshirt. "Last year playing and now this year sitting is not fun, but it will pay off in the end."

His wife...let me guess, she busted him cheating on her?
What sick, twisted person would stab a Dolphin?
BSO arrests Miami Dolphins Brandon Marshalls wife after he was stabbed
Just think, the Texans could have had this guy instead of Connor Barwin and Ben Tate!
We still can grab him on the cheap, if the Dolphins decide not to take up his option this year.
It's amazing how much trouble follows this young man.
But mannn is he talented! I'd love to have him as a second or third option...
Wow I had no idea he caused so much trouble. There is no way Uncle Bob would let Smith sign that guy.
If he read this news, he would faint.
"Ooo whee! I do declare! (fanning himself as he sits on his front porch) I have got the vapors!"
They just gave up 2 2nd rounders and $24m to this guy. Hell, Phillip Merling got arrested for domestics and the Dolphins kept him. And that guy sucks!
What I want to know is how the hell does a guy who's job relies a lot on balance and body control. . . slip and fall down so much?
Kareem Jackson would know.
So I guess it's open season on NFL players now? I hope he is ok. Not much more to say at this point.
As if these incidents are even slightly related... lol
The Broncos seem to have quite a team of law abiding citizens lately.
Is someone outsourcing O.J. to shank these fools.
Remeber how crazy Dennis Quaid's wife was in Any Given Sunday? That's what I'm picturing as I read these. Except she's holding a knife..
This guy is a loser. Add to that his numbers were so bad last year I thought he had retired **** him.
So, this off-season we're up to 10 players arrested, and one wife?
Glad to see the ladies represented in the statistics, u go girls!

Jean Dujardin
In 2008, French actress Marion Cotillard took home the Oscar for Best Actress, and with it, a one-way ticket to super-stardom. This year, her compatriot Jean Dujardin is looking to do the same. His brilliant (and wordless) performance in the black-and-white silent film The Artist won him an Oscar for Best Actor in 2012.
AppealWe can't be certain, but we're pretty sure Jean Dujardin was genetically engineered in a lab on the outskirts of Paris by a group of scientists intent on creating the perfect movie star. He's tall, dark, handsome, charming, sophisticated, self-deprecating, and looks really good with a cigar in his mouth. Congratulations, Jacques, Pierrot and Jean-Luc -- you did it!
SuccessIn The Artist, Jean Dujardin plays an actor whose career is in a rut. In real life, that couldn't be further from the truth. Already the highest-paid actor in his native France, thanks to the success of the OSS 117 spy spoofs in which he starred, Dujardin is experiencing new heights of success ever since his charming performance in The Artist earned him top acting honors at Cannes. He's since added more awards to his ever-expanding trophy case, and after his recent Golden Globe nod, Dujardin is officially the one to beat come Oscar night.
Jean Dujardin BiographyJean Dujardin was born just outside of Paris, and first achieved notoriety in his native France after appearing in the French talent-search show Graines de star in 1996 as one-third of the comedy trio Nous C Nous, which was an assemblage of members of the Carre Blanc Theater. That led to a recurring role in the hit series Un gars, une fille, and it was only a matter of time before Dujardin made the leap to the big screen.
Jean Dujardin Becomes The Highest-Paid Actor in FranceIn 2005, Jean Dujardin landed his first major movie role as a clueless surfer in the comedy Brice de Nice, a huge hit in France that drew 4.5 million people to the theater. After that, director Michel Hazanavicius cast him as the bumbling Gaullist-era double agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath in the spy spoof OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. The film was one of France's most popular that year, and earned Dujardin his first Cesar Award nomination for Best Actor. The sequel, OSS 117: Lost in Rio, was equally successful, and after a string of dramatic roles in films like Counter-Investigation and The Clink of Ice, in which he played a vengeful cop and a desperate alcoholic respectively, Dujardin became the most popular and highest-paid actor in France.
Jean Dujardin Wins a Golden Globe for The Artist2011 has seen many virtuoso performances from Hollywood's leading men, but with awards season in full swing, it's Jean Dujardin, the unknown Frenchman, who's been getting the most buzz. Since winning the top acting award at this year's Cannes film festival for his performance in The Artist, Dujardin has been charming audiences with his beguiling turn as a silent-era movie star who must face his impending irrelevance with the rise of the talkies. The fact that Dujardin's performance is completely silent only makes it all the more impressive.
Jean Dujardin wins an Oscar for best actorJean Dujardin's performance in The Artist was given the ultimate seal of critical approval at the 2012 Academy Awards: He won the trophy for Best Actor.

A literal encyclopedia of recipes (culled from the magazine), this revision to Cook's Illustrated 's popular The Best Recipe is almost double in size and includes more than 1,000 recipes. Cook's Illustrated is known for careful (some would say compulsive) testing of recipes with a focus on foolproof technique; detailed line drawings that take readers step-by-step through recipes; and opinionated guides that assert that their way is the best way. This methodology appeals particularly to a specific kind of cook, one with a primarily scientific rather than artistic or intuitive approach to cooking. Though there are a few photographs, readers who buy cookbooks for full-color photographs and personal anecdotes aren't likely to be drawn to this work. Twenty-two chapters cover appetizers to desserts. Even the simplest tasks, such as blanching vegetables or peeling an egg, are explained and illustrated in detail. More involved techniques include brining poultry and roasting a turkey. Pad Thai gets a full-page description with photographs to help home cooks learn how to properly soak the noodles. Well organized and extremely clear, the book has only one drawback: its heft may make it tough to hoist onto kitchen counters. (Oct.)
Forecast: A 10-city author tour, national publicity campaign and regional holiday catalogue ads will target Cook's Illustrated fans and could make this a strong holiday seller.
Release date: 10/01/2004
