''Reds'' is a 1981 American epic film that was co-written, produced, directed by and starred Creator/WarrenBeatty. It centers on the life and career of John Reed, the revolutionary communist, journalist, and writer who chronicled the [[RedOctober Russian Revolution]] in his book ''Ten Days that Shook the World''. Beatty stars in the lead role alongside Diane Keaton, who plays Reed's wife Louise Bryant, and JackNicholson as Eugene O'Neill. Creator/StephenSondheim composed music for the film.
The first half of the film chronicles the early life of Reed and Bryant, their often troubling relationship, and their experiences reporting on the Communist revolution in Russia. The second part of the film takes place shortly after the publication of ''Ten Days''. Inspired by the idealism of the Revolution, Reed attempts to bring the spirit of Communism to the United States, because he is disillusioned with the policies imposed upon Communist Russia by Grigory Zinoviev and the Bolsheviks.
The most significant aspect of the film is a documentary enhancement interviews with a number of venerable "witnesses", who may have known Reed, whose recollections of the period help to set the scene, bridge transitions and preserve a touching human perspective of these times. To gain perspective on the lives of Reed and Bryant, Beatty began filming the "witnesses" as early as 1971. Some of them are very well known, others less so. It is also noted, on a side note that this movie was released as as a sympathetic portrait of a well-known American communist (though it does point out Reed's flaws instead of bordering on HistoricalHeroUpgrade) in the very same year that Republican RonaldReagan became president.
The film was released on December 4, 1981 to critical acclaim. Despite its political subject matter and limited promotion (mostly by Beatty himself), the film became the tenth highest grossing picture of 1981, taking in $50,000,000 in the United States.
Beatty won the AcademyAward for Best Director for the film. ''Reds'' was also nominated for Best Picture, but lost to ''Film/ChariotsOfFire''. Beatty and Diane Keaton were nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, but lost to Creator/HenryFonda and Creator/KatharineHepburn in ''On Golden Pond''.
In June 2008, the American Film Institute revealed its "Ten Top Ten" the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Reds was acknowledged as the ninth best film in the [[EpicMovie epic]] genre.
* BadBadActing: An example of this with Louise's terrible acting in one of Eugene O'Neill's plays. In general, Diane Keaton, who plays Louise, is the master of this trope.
* EthicalSlut: Louise Bryant becomes one after Reed turns her on to his free love philosophy. For a time, she becomes kind of fundamentalist about it, and Eugene O'Neill makes fun of her about it during their affair. Both she and Jack have trouble remaining true to their slut-ethics over the course of the film, with their jealousy periodically causing one or the other to break off their relationship.
* ForeignCorrespondent: John Reed, radical left-wing journalist, who goes to Russia to cover RedOctober and the Russian Civil War.
* {{Intermission}}: Once considered necessary for films that topped three hours.
* LoveTriangle: A messy one between Reed, Bryant, and O'Neill.
* RedOctober

Madden Still Not Practicing
09/21/06 at 08:38 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the NY Poat,
It may defer some of their salary cap trouble, but it won't help Claude Julien's start as Devils coach. John Madden might not be ready for the season opener, revealing yesterday that he underwent hernia surgery seven weeks ago. "I noticed it during the playoffs and I thought it was a sore groin. I took some time off, and when I started training again, it didn't get better," said Madden, who has been skating lightly apart from his teammates, and not encouraged by the results. "Unfortunately, I waited a little too long. Now we've started training camp and I'm not playing exhibition games," Madden said.continued (reg. req.)

from William Houston of the Globe and Mail:
Al Strachan's career in sportswriting is almost over. Strachan has been told that his contract at the Toronto Sun will not be renewed. He will be finished on Dec. 31 and says he's planning to retire. Strachan has been a sportswriter, mostly in hockey, for 33 years. He started at the Montreal Gazette in 1973, joined The Globe and Mail in 1980 and moved to the Sun in 1994. He was also the host of a radio show in Montreal in the 1970s and was a regular on the Hockey Night in Canada Satellite Hot Stove panel until last season, when he was replaced with Pierre LeBrun of The Canadian Press. Quebecor has cut deeply into the Toronto Sun sports department. Columnist Mike Ulmer was let go.

Chara Blocks Shot - Appears To Be OK

from the Boston Bruins,
A minor scare went through Bruins nation, as Chara did not return to action in the second, after blocking a shot in the first period. Following the game, however, Bruins Head Coach Dave Lewis indicated that Chara had asked to play the second period, but the training staff thought it best to ice the area immediately. Lewis let Boston fans breath a little easier when he said that Chara will have a precautionary x-ray tomorrow, but was walking fine after the game.

Malkin Hurt
09/20/06 at 09:00 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the CP via TSN,
Evgeni Malkin was injured during his NHL debut Wednesday night after colliding with Pittsburgh Penguins teammate John LeClair early in the second period. Malkin had just finished making a dazzling pass to LeClair when the veteran winger, after missing a great scoring chance, crashed into the boards behind the net and took out Malkin in the process. The Russian rookie catapulted over LeClair and landed hard on the ice. A hush came over the crowd at Moncton Coliseum as Malkin, the second overall pick behind Alexander Ovechkin in the 2004 NHL entry draft, lay sprawled on the ice for 3-4 minutes. He got up and skated off the ice but was favouring his left arm. He headed straight to the dressing room. There was no immediate word on his condition.I am sure Pens fans will kep us posted with any updated news. added 8:52pm, How it happened... added 9:11pm, Make sure to check the comments. Pens fans will keep us posted and now are mentioning that Malkin is back in the arena after visiting the hospital. Also, check the TSN link, they will update in that link throughout the evening.

Posible Player Movement In The West

Western conference players that could be moved during the upcoming season... from Spector at Fox Sports,
Keith Tkachuk — He rejected any notion of a trade last season, but if the Blues have another lousy campaign he might change his mind this time around, especially if the club decides not to re-sign him following this season. His tenure in St. Louis could well depend on the club's on-ice fortunes.read on

NHLPA Delivers Good News
09/20/06 at 06:56 PM ET | Comments (0)
The subject of the NHLPA getting money back from last season was touched on at KK a few weeks ago. More information is now available. from the CP via TSN,
Players will be getting a nice little bonus early in the NHL season. The NHL Players' Association informed its membership Wednesday that the league's 700-plus players will receive all of their escrowed payments plus interest as well as additional "shortfall" payments of between 3.5 to 4.5 per cent. Once the final accounting was done on the 2005-06 season it was determined players didn't take up their full share of the 54 per cent of league revenues coming their way under the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement.contiued

More Injuries Coming
09/20/06 at 05:23 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Michael Fargber of Sports Illustrated,
The first thing that fans might notice is that some of the players with bigger curves have problems handling or passing the puck -- the reasons why a handful of general managers were originally reluctant to make a change. Of course, the perception of the bigger curves might change when a rising shot clips a visor-less defenseman's eye and changes that player's perception permanently. For the moment, the Board of Governors' anticipated move is one more reminder that the PA is the only union in the world that does not make safety in the workplace its leading priority. Not to dump all this on the association. Too often, the PA is in tune with its rank and file, which prefers the freedom to choose on the visor issue, picks its helmets based on how they look in the mirror, and tolerates the current icing rule. Actually, the more-liberal curve suits an important part of the PA's constituency: skilled European players who grew up playing under International Ice Hockey Federation rules, which permitted a larger curve.read on

Everybody Into The Pool
09/20/06 at 03:43 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The temptation, when selecting your hockey-pool team for the upcoming 2006-07 season, is ponder last year's scoring totals, discover that two players — the San Jose Sharks' Joe Thornton and the New York Rangers' Jaromir Jagr — were head-and-shoulders above the rest of the competition; and rank them 1-2 again. Theoretically, the problem with this strategy is it flies against the face of recent history. Over the past couple of years, the National Hockey League's scoring champion one seaon, had a difficult time cracking the top 30 the next.continued...plus their top 200 players for your pool...

Listen Closely
09/20/06 at 03:13 PM ET | Comments (0)
The New York Rangers did a recent interview with Brendan Shanahan and I would hope more athletes would read these words carefully...
"There's a certain degree of professionalism that has to do with how you carry yourself on and off the ice. Preparation and things like that," he said. "I was fortunate to play with some great veterans, and now and in recent years, I've been kind of thrust in the position where I'm a veteran player and other young players you notice are kind of looking at you. Some don't want information, but others can't get enough of it."Brendan also had this to say about the original six teams, and it does make me wonder why many of the Detroit fans were happy to see him leave...
"Just the traditions and the histories of the Original Six are something pretty special," said Shanahan. "When you've got alumni who date way back. In Detroit we had Ted Lindsay or Gordie Howe coming down to our dressing room, and things like that. It makes it really special and it adds to the importance of what we're doing. The other clubs are all developing their own traditions and histories, but the Original Six teams obviously have an edge."more

Senate Democrats, GOP To Stage Votes On Rival Cuts
Democrats are sure to vote the GOP measure down. Both the House and the Senate are set to send their members home Thursday afternoon, even as the deadline to avoid the cuts looms the next day. Though bound to fail, the rival votes will allow both sides to claim they tried to address the cuts even as they leave them in place and exit Washington for a long weekend.
Obama on Wednesday summoned top congressional leaders for a White House meeting on Friday. Given longstanding, intractable differences over Obama's insistence that new tax revenues help replace the cuts, the meeting was not expected to produce a breakthrough.
Another topic for Friday's discussion is how to avoid Washington's next crisis, which threatens a government shutdown after March 27, when a six-month spending bill enacted last year expires.
Republicans are planning for a vote next week on a bill to fund the day-to-day operations of the government through the Sept. 30 end of the 2013 fiscal year, while keeping in place the $85 billion in automatic cuts.
The need to keep the government's doors open and lights on â¿¿ or else suffer the first government shutdown since 1996 â¿¿ requires the GOP-dominated House and the Democratic-controlled Senate to agree. Right now they hardly see eye to eye. The House GOP plan, unveiled to the rank and file Wednesday, would award the Pentagon and the Veterans Affairs Department with their line-by-line budgets, for a more-targeted rather than indiscriminate batch of military cuts. But it would deny domestic agencies the same treatment, which has whipped up opposition from veteran Democratic senators on the Appropriations Committee. Domestic agencies would see their budgets frozen, which would mean no money for new initiatives such as cybersecurity or for routine increases for programs such as low-income housing. "We're not going to do that," said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. "Of course not."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hey there, I'm Gonzalo, been living in Montevideo for 3 years now and just recently bought this property where I live with my partner Maria Laura (she goes by Lali) and our baby daughter Amelia. I'm pretty much laid back and always look forward to the good things in life.
Five things I can't live without?
- People (Family and Friends).
- Water (and all goodies that contain liquid substances).
- Food (Love cooking and eating pretty much everything, cooking shows are the best).
- Technology (Music, Movies, Software, Games and Consoles).
- My guitars (probably my biggest hobby although its hard to find the time these days. I do get together with some music aficionados on a weekly basis and we record a couple of songs just to indulge ourselves.... we suck though LOL).
I love to travel, my whole life I've been bumping around pretty much everywhere, I was born in Switzerland and have lived and traveled throughout Asia, Europe, North America and Latina America. Africa will definitely be the next destination. I settled down here a little over 3 years ago from Ottawa, Canada where I graduated from College and worked in the Hospitality Industry for a couple of years. Today I work at a Multinational Company that provides Financial and Technology Solutions at a B2C and B2B level.

The board's unique symmetrical design features flared wheel wells that give the rider more wheel clearance than ever thought possible. The front and rear flares also provide perfect pockets (in front of and directly over the bolts) for locking in and great leverage points for both heelside and toeside slides. This board features 1" of continuous rocker and .69" of continuous concave. With your foot bumped up against the flares your feet will stick to this board like peanut butter on toast. Although the kicktails appear flat, the 1" rocker gives them additional leverage while maintaining a close relationship to the ground for "ollieability" with reverse kingpin trucks. Did we mention this board is flush mounted so your trucks will ride with their true geometry? What could be better? OH YEAH it's made by DB in the USA.

AUSTIN, TX—JW Marriott Austin has appointed Scott Blalock as general manager of the new hotel slated to open in March 2015. Construction is well underway on the 34-story JW Marriott Austin, which currently stands five stories above ground. The hotel is a highly anticipated addition to Austin's hospitality industry and has already booked more than 170,000 room nights. A 25-year hospitality industry veteran, Blalock brings operational, sales and administrative experience to the JW Marriott Austin. He has worked for the hotel's developer, White Lodging, since 2006 after more than 18 years of service with Marriott International. Blalock also has a background in managing convention hotels. He was a member of the opening team of the Marriott San Antonio Rivercenter Convention Hotel, general manager of the Marriott Indianapolis Downtown Convention Hotel, and opened the JW Marriott Indianapolis as VP and general manager. Blalock stated, "The JW Marriott Austin will have an enormous economic benefit to the entire local community including the creation of 700 jobs within the next 18 months. This is a great opportunity to put Austin on the map as a destination for large national conventions and meetings and bring JW Marriott's distinctive luxury product to a new city."

A Bit of over Kill maybe??
OK getting ready to do a garage slab the HO did the prep work all I and my crew is going to do is pour scree float and finish the slab cut expansion joints in you know the back breaking work. went out to the job site he has down 6 mil poly layered to about 18 mil thick he used the whole roll of 20'x100' for a 620 sqf garage. Normally I just put down one single sheet over lap the seams by a few feet tape the seams call it good. this guy I think did over kill but I don't think any harm was done. unless Some one knows better then me. I just think he won't have a problem. So was it a waste of poly or did he do good?
I think it is going to be slick as the dickens walking on, with more than one layer.
1 thing that probably WON'T happen is tearing the 6mil :no: usually it gets punctured just from walking on it & pushing/shoving aggregate,,, for garage floors, we lay 1 & that's it,,, commercial & residential interior floors get stego,,, taping seams is fine for both
trust a h/o to always err on the side of o'kill :yes: especially when they're tried to learn off the i-net - good luck - he MAY want to supervise :furious: |

PASADENA >> A fire scorched a Pasadena home Thursday, causing an estimated $300,000 worth of damage, officials said.
Three residents, including an elderly woman, were at home when the fire broke out about 1:30 p.m. at the split-level house in the 1700 block of Kaweah Drive, Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said. But they got out of the home uninjured before firefighters arrived.
About 40 firefighters from the Pasadena, South Pasadena and Glendale fire departments extinguished the stubborn fire in about 45 minutes, she said. The fire had worked it's way well into the walls of the home.
It sparked on the bottom floor of the split-level home, Derderian said. The cause was determined to be a malfunctioning forced-air heating unit.
No other structures were damaged.
Officials estimated the blaze caused about $200,000 worth of damage to the home, and another $100,000 worth of damage to its contents, Derderian said.
Red Cross officials responded to the scene to help the displaced residents find temporary housing.

CHP: Alhambra fire engine at fault in collision with Monterey Park fire engine last year
MONTEREY PARK >> A California Highway Patrol investigation into a crash between Alhambra and Monterey Park fire trucks last year that sent one of the engines careening into a dim sum restaurant, resulting in 15 injuries, has determined the Alhambra Fire Department truck was at fault for the collision.
The crash occurred shortly after 3 p.m. on April 16 at Garfield and Emerson avenues. Both trucks were responding to a report of a house fire in Monterey Park with emergency lights and sirens activated, officials said. The agencies often cooperate with each other in responding to emergencies.
The large truck's collided in the intersection, sending the Monterey Park engine hurtling into the Lu Dumpling House. Four pedestrians who were walking in front of the restaurant were injured, one of them critically, authorities said. Six people inside the restaurant were also hurt, along with six firefighters.
A summary of the investigative findings released by the CHP Thursday states that the Alhambra fire engine's driver drove unsafely just prior to the collision.
The Alhambra engine was southbound on Garfield Avenue at about 15 mph when it entered the intersection through a red light about the same time as the Monterey Park engine entered the intersection through a green light while heading east on Emerson Avenue at about 25 mph, according the CHP statement.
"The Alhambra fire engine failed to ensure the intersection was safe to enter against the red signal light," according to the statement. " Due to Alhambra fire engine's unsafe operation, the front of Alhambra's fire engine collided into the front of Monterey Park's fire engine."
No charges were to be filed in connection with the crash, CHP officials said.
The Alhambra engine was driven by 46-year-old Alhambra Fire Department Firefighter Bryan Butler. Monterey Park Fire Department Firefighter Nicholas Lima, 31, was at the wheel of the Monterey Park fire engine, according to the CHP.
Alhambra City Attorney Joseph Montes said 22 civil claims have been filed in connection with the crash. He declined to comment on the CHP findings.
"We've received the report. We're in the process of analyzing and reviewing it," Montes said. "We have pending litigation and in light of all that we are not in a position to make any further comment at this time."

Fire scorches two Rosemead homes
ROSEMEAD — A fire damaged two Rosemead homes early Sunday, displacing two families, authorities said.
Officials first received reports of the fire in the 2600 block of Gladys Avenue at 9:57 a.m., Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Melanie Flores said.
Firefighters encountered heavy smoke on arrival and found the fire was burning its way through two homes sitting next door to each other.
Officials declared the fire extinguished at 10:33 a.m., Flores said.
No injuries were reported, however both families occupying the scorched homes were displaces, she said.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear.
Altadena garage, home scorched by fire
ALTADENA >> A fire caused major damage to an Altadena garage and home Friday afternoon, authorities said.
No one was hurt in the fire, which was first reported about 2:30 p.m. in the 2600 block of Lincoln Avenue, Sgt. T. Crosswhite of the sheriff's Altadena Station said.
The fire started in the garage and spread to the house, officials said.
"It was severe damage," Crosswhite said. A dollar-value estimate of the damage was not available.
Neighbor Cheryl Branum said she spotted the fire and called 9-1-1.
"I came home for lunch time and smelled smoke in my backyard. It didn't smell like a chimney smoke or cigarette smoke, and within seconds, a big, huge, black ball of smoke and high flames were shooting over my yard," Branum said.
"I frantically ran outside and I yelled at the neighbors. And the next think I know, I started hearing popping, exploding, and I called 9-1-1.
"Before you know it, the whole back part of their house was completely engulfed in flames."
Sheriff's deputies who arrived on-scene before firefighters grabbed hoses and started trying to put water on the burning home, she said. "My stupid nozzle wouldn't turn on"."
A family living in the home managed to get out safely before firefighters arrived, Crosswhite said. They were expected to be displaced from their home for at least one night.
After extinguishing the flames, firefighters teamed with the Sheriff's Arson-Explosives Detail to investigate the cause of the fire, Crosswhite said. The investigation was ongoing late Friday.
Officials also worked to clean the scene and check for any possible hazardous chemicals, as officials recieved intiial reports that there were containers of some type of chemicals stored in the garage, officials said. Further details were not available.
Branum said she was glad no one was injured in the fire.

Brush fire ignites near Rose Hills in Whittier
WHITTIER >> A brush fire broke out on a hillside neighboring Rose Hills Memorial Park and Cemetery Saturday, officials said.
The fire was first reported about 5 p.m. just to the east of the memorial park at 3888 Workman Mill Road, Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Bernard Peters said.
Firefighters on the ground were joined by three helicopters as they poured water onto the flames, Peters said.
The fire grew to 1-and-a-half acres before fighters declared it extinguished just over an hour after it began, officials said.
No injuries were reported.
South Pasadena home destroyed by fire
SOUTH PASADENA >> Firefighters responded about 4 a.m. to the fire at the single-story house in the 800 block of Kendall Avenue, South Pasadena Fire Department Capt. Chris Szenczi said.
The fire caused an estimated $600,000 worth of damage to the house and it's contents, however no injuries were reported, the captain said.
Los Angeles firefighters who happened to be nearby arrived first at the scene, and were soon joined by their counterparts in the South Pasadena Fire Department, as well as other nearby fire departments, Scenczi said.
Firefighters extinguished the fire in slightly less than an hour.
The home was vacant following the recent death of resident, Scenczi said. The items inside had been boxed up in preparation to remove them from the home.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation, however officials were looking into the possibility the fire was ignited by boxes left on top of a gas floor heater, Szenczi said.

UPDATED: Tanker truck bursts into flames in Boyle Heights; creates "river of fire"
BOYLE HEIGHTS >> A tanker truck overturned and burst into flames in Boyle Heights Friday, releasing a river of flaming gasoline that significantly damaged one home and destroyed an SUV before firefighters got the upper hand, officials said.
The tanker fire was first reported about 3:30 p.m. in the 2600 block of 8th Street, just east of Soto Street, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
The driver of the tandem tanker truck driver was entering the 5 Freeway from the 8th Street offramp when the rear trailer overturned and caught fire, Humphrey said. A second fuel tanker being hauled by the truck remained on its wheels.
The driver escaped unscathed from the burning big rig, officials said. The intense fire sent a thick black plume into the air that was visible for miles around.
The "bulk of visible fire" was controlled about an hour after it began, officials said.
Humphrey said the tanker, which had a capacity of 4,800 gallons, was believed to be carrying unknown type of fuel, however further details were not available.
The truck driver was attempting to enter the 5 Freeway from the 8th Street onramp when the mishap occurred, officials said.
The local street and 8th Avenue onramp were expected to remain closed through the afternoon to allow for clean-up, investigation and utility repairs, Humphrey said.
Fuel leaking from the burning tanker produced a "river of fire" that headed downhill, Humphrey said. The fire destroyed an SUV that was parked along the curb.
"There were three homes in the path of the fire," he said.
The two homes nearest to the fire sustained only cosmetic damage such as singed eves.
But the flow of burning gasoline made its way around the corner and set fire to triplex and some nearby brush, Humphrey said. At least one unit in the subdivided building sustained significant damage, and the residents would be temporarily displaced.
The two tanker trailers being hailed by the truck had a combined capacity of about 9,000 gallons of gasoline, Humphrey said. The rear trailer, which overturned and caught fire, contained about 4,800 gallons of fuel.
Nearly 3,000 gallons of gas leaked from the truck, Humphrey said. The second tanker did not rupture.
Firefighters worked to carefully drill a hole in the overturned tanker and use a vaccuum truck to drain it of an estimated 2,000 gallons of remaining fuel, Humphrey said.
The 8th Street onramp tot he 5 Freeway, as well as a small portion of 8th Street, were expected to remain closed at least through the end of Friday.
The bulk of "visible flames" was extinguished within about 20 minutes, Humphrey said. The fire was declared fully extinguished about 80 minutes after it ignited.
Fire scorches garage attached to El Monte apartment building
EL MONTE >> A fire damaged a garage attached to an apartment building Thursday, but resulted in no injuries, officials said.
Firefighters first responded to a report of smoke emanating from the 4000 block of La Madera Avenue about 12:30 p.m., Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Randall Wright said.
The first engine to arrive found smoke pouring from the garage, which was attacked to a single-story apartment building, Wright said. Firefighters extinguished the blaze in just over 20 minutes.
No civilians or firefighters were hurt, and no apartment residents were displaced, he said.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation. A dollar-value estimate of the damage was not available.
Fire destroys home, commercial building in San Gabriel
SAN GABRIEL >> A large fire in San Gabriel destroyed a vacant home and a commercial building and sent one person to a hospital with smoke inhalation Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
Firefighters first responded about 1:40 p.m. to a report of a fire in the 500 block of West Norwood Place, San Gabriel Fire Department Division Chief Bryan Frieders said.
"When the first arriving companies got there, the house was fully involved with flames and smoke," the chief said. The house was vacant.
The fire had also spread into an attached 2,500-square-foot commercial building, which was also believed to be vacant, Frieders said.
Firefighters declared a "second alarm," bringing about 55 personnel to the scene.
An elderly neighbor was taken to a hospital in good condition after apparently becoming overwhelmed by smoke emanating from the fire, Frieders said.
Officials extinguished the flames in 37 minutes, he said. A portion of the roof of the burning commercial building collapsed during the fire, as well as a wall inside the house.
The house and commercial building were destroyed by the fire, Frieders said, and the value of the damage was estimated to be $600,000.
But firefighters managed to keep the fire from spreading to a second home situated only a few feet away from the first, as well as to a backyard aviary containing more than a dozen birds.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation, however investigators noted the structures have had reported issues with squatters in the past.
As firefighters worked to extinguish the Norwood Place fire, a second fire sparked at a nearby liquor store in the 1700 block of New Avenue, Frieders said.
The fire ignited inside the businesses electrical box, and ultimately caused about $30,000 to the store and its contents. It would have been much worse had firefighters not been so close when it started, Frieders said.
The cause of the liquor store fire also remained under investigation Thursday, though officials were looking into the possibility the electrical fire was caused by damage from the first fire, Frieders said. Both businesses are wired to the same electrical pole.
UPDATED: Explosive 4-alarm fire tears through three Santa Fe Springs businesses
SANTA FE SPRINGS >> A massive fire fueled by exploding drums of flammable chemicals destroyed three businesses, comprised of five buildings, in Santa Fe Springs Saturday.
A paint company, an epoxy coating company and a machine shop were involved in the four-alarm fire, which broke out about 4:10 p.m. in the 12800 block of Sunshine Avenue, Santa Fe Springs Fire Department Chief Mike Crook said.
Heavy black smoke and flames poured from the building when firefighters arrived, the chief said. Soon after firefighters began pouring water on the flames, 55-gallon drums full of flammable chemicals began exploding, Crook said.
"They started with a pretty aggressive attack," he said. "Drums were exploding, they were taking off into the air. They pulled back, had to go defensive."
The drums were both inside and outside several of the burning buildings.
Firefighters from the Los Angeles County, Downey, Compton and Vernon fire departments helped Santa Fe Springs firefighters douse the blaze for more than four hours before it was declared knocked down. Firefighters expected to remain at the scene handling smoldering hot spots into the early morning hours Sunday.
Hazardous materials crews were on-hand to monitor potential hazards, Crook said. No chemicals were detected at dangerous levels in either the air surrounding the perimeter of the fire or the water flowing away from it.
The fire was believed to have originated inside epoxy coating company B.D. Classic Enterprises, Crook said. It was first reported by a custodian working in the business park.
Crook said the fire then spread to the neighboring Life Paint Co. and Robert's Honing and Gundrilling Inc.
Police shut down nearby streets as firefighters handled the massive fire, Whittier police Lt. Bryan Ellis said.
All three involved businesses were closed at the time the fire broke out, Crook said.
The neighboring businesses were all largely empty, and No evacuations were ordered during the fire, according to Downey Fire Department dispatchers. No injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters.
Though the building were largely destroyed, firefighters worked hard to protect the businesses' important documents, Crook said. "The guys did a great job of protecting the offices and the records."
The investigation into the cause of the fire remained in its early stages. A dollar-value estimate of the damage was not available late Saturday.

Friday Update 20/02/15
Supported Charities 2015
If you have the chance to watch there will be a film about the Freddie Farmer physiotherapy centre on the community channel on freeview 109, sky 539, virgin 233 I hope you will find it of interest.Mon 23rd Feb at 7pm London 360 This is one of our supported charities for 2015 and it should be a good chance to see how you can help make a difference.
Freddie who has cerebral palsy was invited to a reception at 11 Downing Street after he and his supporters raised funds to set up a physiotherapy centre in south-east London.
Freddie Farmer was joined by friends and family for the meeting with Chancellor George Osborne.
His family set up the Freddie Farmer Foundation in 2011 to raise funds for a physiotherapy centre in south-east London for children and young people with cerebral palsy and serious mobility problems.
The charity has purchased a property in Bromley Common which is now undergoing renovation and is due to open later this year.
Freddie's mum Deanne Farmer said: "Freddie is 10 yet he has the ability to captivate a room of over 100 people, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer!
"Freddie had a wonderful chat with the Chancellor and there was an unexpected visit from the Prime Minster David Cameron, who popped in for a chat and a photo with Freddie.
"It was an amazing experience and we will remember and cherish the memory of it for the rest of our lives."
Generally speaking the 34 members of "obese2extraordinary" have been at it for about 7 extraordinary weeks now.
We are entering a really difficult and critical time right now. The Heavies success will be, make or break, over the next 4/8 weeks. Weight loss will slow or stop and we ALL need to try new tactics such as increasing exercising, and continually tweaking what we are eating.
As a team we have shed c370lbs. 370lbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing efforts. That's over 26 stone. That's pretty well 2 normal sized blokes. Extraordinary. And it represents c 32% of the massive weight loss pledged of 1136 lbs.
So we are well ahead as a team of our target. We are about 7 weeks in to a 36 week programme - so as a team we are about 10% ahead of target. BUT some are further ahead than others.
So - if you know, socialise, are a kid of or live with one of the Heavies - get behind them. We will ALL really need all the help, nagging, and ridiculing that you can muster.
Come on down the Heavies - you are doing stonking good work - BUT you must keep at it and up the anti.
Timbo - The Fat Controller.
Have a Super Weekend

Heads up: Top comment and controversy
US reaction: Obama vs Romney presidential debate
04 October 2012 08:36 AM
Reaction to last night's presidential debate has swung in favour of Republican challenger Mitt Romney, who appeared feisty and combative in contrast to a more measured (some would say weedy) Obama.
A New York Times editorial, however, focuses on the general uselessness of the contest as a guide to either man's intentions for power. "With few sparks and little clarity on the immense gulf that truly separates the two men and their policies, Wednesday's encounter provided little guidance for voters still trying to understand the choice in next month's election."
Much of the centre-left US media gloomily laments Romney's ability to score points at the cost of accuracy. "Virtually every time Mr. Romney spoke", says the NYT, "he misrepresented the platform on which he and Paul Ryan are actually running." The central point to draw ire was Romney's stance on tax - the former head of Bain Capital denying "against considerable evidence" that he would cut taxes on the rich.
Salon's editor at large Joan Walsh harrumphs: "Romney shook his Etch-a-Sketch and lied his way through the entire debate with no challenge from moderator Jim Lehrer."
But Washington Post columnist Matt Miller points out that, this morning, Republicans won't give a hoot about Romney's fact-checkability. He's "not trying to win a prize from pundits for coherence or consistency." What he did on stage was "win big" - and that's all that matters.
The more conservative Wall Street Journal is fulsome in its praise for Mitt: he appeared Presidential, "showed a superior command of fact and argument than the incumbent, and made a confident, optimistic case for change." The paper anoints his performance as the best by a Republican since Reagan in 1980, and adds "Where has this Romney guy been hiding?"

CICA Gives Federal Budget A B Plus Rating
TORONTO, March 21, 2013 /CNW/ - The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA)* gives the federal government a B Plus rating for a budget that focuses on balancing the books while providing targeted funding to spark economic activity.
The government is committed to returning to balanced budgets by 2015-16.
"With lingering economic uncertainty, the government's focus remains a multi-year incremental approach to balancing its books that allows for the funding of initiatives aimed at creating jobs and economic growth," explains Gabe Hayos, vice-president, taxation, with the CICA. "However, it is essential that the government stays on course and gets its finances in order if Canada is to achieve a sustainable recovery."
The budget outlines a fiscal framework that features a skills training initiative, infrastructure funding and new investments to support manufacturing and innovation in Canada.
There are no significant personal or corporate tax increases but the government is taking action to preserve its tax base. The budget looks to close tax loopholes, address aggressive tax planning, clarify tax rules, reduce international tax avoidance and tax evasion and improve tax fairness. It also provides the Canada Revenue Agency with new tools to enforce the tax rules. "We support efforts to maintain the integrity of the tax base, but the CICA will work closely with Finance and the CRA to ensure that casting such a broad net of actions does not result in unintended consequences," says Hayos. The CICA would have preferred to see more action to reduce the complexity of Canada's tax system, making the country more attractive for investment. The Institute welcomes greater disclosure requirements for scientific research and experimental development claims without further restricting contingency fee arrangements relating to the tax incentive program. "This is something we recommended," stresses Hayos. "The ability to engage third-party preparers on a contingency fee basis often allows companies to increase innovation spending."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Reinventing Russia: Russian Nationalism and the Soviet State, 1953-1991
Brudny argues that the rise of the Russian nationalist movement was a combined result of the reinvention of Russian national identity by a group of intellectuals, and the Communist Party's active support of this reinvention in order to gain greater political legitimacy. The author meticulously reconstructs the development of the Russian nationalist thought from Khrushchev to Yeltsin, as well as the nature of the Communist Party response to Russian nationalist ideas. Through analysis of major Russian literary, political, and historicalwritings, the recently-published memoirs of the Russian nationalist intellectuals and Communist Party officials, and documents discovered in the Communist Party archives, Brudny sheds new light on social, intellectual, and political origins of Russian nationalism, and emphasizes the importance of ideas in explaining the fate of the Russian nationalist movement during late communist and early post-communist periods.

Abstract: Partly as a result of the rapid growth in Chinese higher education, graduate placement has become a critical issue facing colleges and universties. In response, one of the policy initiatives adopted by the Chinese government is for higher education institutions to put an emphasis on entrepreneurship education. In 2002, the Ministry of Education launched a pilot program on carrying out entrepreneurship education in nine prestigious higher education institutions in China. Since then, many colleges and universities have adopted this innovation in education. This study attempts to examine entrepreneurship education as an innovative solution to the challenges facing higher education in China. It first introduces the background for promoting entrepreneurship education in China, analyzes the entrepreneurship education programs and activities in three selected universities, assesses the state of entrepreneurship education both from a student perspective and also through a comparison with developments in the United States, and concludes with recommendations for further developments in entrepreneurship education in China's colleges and universities.

The New England Healthcare Compliance Roundtable
- Boston Marriott Newton, Newton MA
On December 10th join us for a look at
The future of chronic diseases
Chronic diseases and conditions are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States, accounting for 70% of all deaths in the U.S., according to the CDC.
The prevalence of conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders have tremendous societal costs that necesitate a new standard of care. Health care providers now must look past treating the disease state and towards managing the disease.
Medical device companies too must adjust by understanding how their devices will fit in this new paradigm of care.
With this opportunity comes new challenges for the medical device industry in terms of patient engagement, compliance and dealing with changes in reimbursement structure, which will change the business model of the industry forever.
On December 10th, MassDevice, once again, takes you inside the corner office for a front row seat on how decisions are made at the highest level of the medical device industry. Join us for this unique look at how some of California's most cutting edge med tech companies are looking towards the future.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will personally apologize to veterans who received erroneous letters saying they had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease , agency spokeswoman Katie Roberts said Tuesday.

What Adam Levine did when he met this young fan will warm your heart
The veterans also will receive an explanation about how "this unfortunate and regrettable error" occurred and reassurances that the letters do not confirm diagnoses of the fatal neurological disease, she said. Roberts did not say whether the agency has determined how the error occurred.
VA employees were still thumbing through case files, trying to determine exactly how many veterans mistakenly received letters intended to inform sufferers of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, of benefits available to them or surviving spouses and children.
"We understand we made a mistake," Roberts said. "We had every good intention."
Roberts said the VA mailed more than 1,800 letters last week and has been notified by less than 10 veterans who received the letters in error. However, a Gulf War veterans group that provides information, support and referrals about illnesses to military members estimates at least 1,200 veterans received the letters by mistake.
Denise Nichols, vice president of the National Gulf War Resource Center, said panicked veterans in at least a dozen states have contacted her group.
ALS is a rapidly progressive disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles and typically kills people within five years.
Veterans like former Air Force reservist Gale Reid in Montgomery, Ala., and former Army Sgt. Samuel Hargrove in Henderson, N.C., were initially suspicious of the letters, but went through the pain of not knowing whether they had ALS.
Reid said she incurred about $3,000 worth of medical expenses securing a second opinion from a civilian doctor. Reid hopes the VA will pay for the tests, but Roberts said she had to check on any reimbursements.
Jim Bunker, president of the veterans group, said someone at the VA told him the mistake was caused by a coding error in which veterans with undiagnosed neurological disorders were inadvertently assigned the code for ALS. The VA uses more than 8,000 codes for various diseases and illnesses, he said.
Nichols said her group was satisfied with the VA's response.
"All we wanted was to get the word out," Nichols said. "I think we've accomplished what we set out to do."
