Introductory Overviews of Chinese History:
Keay, John, China A History, London: Harper Press, 2008.
In comparison to most other general historians Keay spends a reasonable amount of time looking at the earlier periods of Chinese history. The section that covers the Yellow Turban campaign through to the end of the Three Kingdoms era is about 22 pages long. However only 11 of these are focused on political history and if you are looking for anything more than a basic introduction to that then this isn't the book for you. The other thing that Keay offers is an 11 page introduction to the religious history of the period.
Roberts, J. A. G., The Complete History of China, Stroud: Sutton Publishing, 2007.
For a book entitled 'The Complete History…' Robert spends a disproportionate time (well over half the text) on the most recent 115 years. This author therefore gives only the most basic introduction to the Three Kingdom era (about five and a half pages) and at least part of this is an attempt to compare the fall of the Han Dynasty to that of Rome. I would recommend this book only to someone who has a passing interest in the 3K era and is instead primarily interested in modern history.
Ebrey, Patricia B., (ed.) The Cambridge Illustrated History of China, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999.
Early Sources:
Chen Shou, Records of the Three Kingdoms.
The 'Records of the Three Kingdoms' or 'Sanguozhi' (SGZ as its better known on SoSZ) is the earliest source still available to scholars interested in the 3K era. Chen Shou compiled it during the 3rd century. It is important to note the author's bias towards the ruling dynasty of Jin and their predecessor Wei and to a lesser extent that of Shu the country of his early life. It is written in a biographical style with most major officials and officers having an entry. There is no official translation of the entirety of this work (some biographies have been put in books-see below) however many of our own scholars have worked hard over the years translating individual entries. The above link leads to a list of many translations. In more recent times xuesanguo has committed to translating the source in its entirety and that project can be found here.
Chen Shou, Empresses and Consorts: Selections from Chen Shou's Records of the Three States, trans. R Cutter & W. Crowell, Hawai'i: University of Hawai'i Press, 1999.
The translators collect the female biographies in 'The 'Records of the Three Kingdoms' (see above) and put them in to this book. It also comes with an exploration of life of women at court. This is obviously well worth a read for anyone interested in women during the period. It also includes biographies for some male officers who are linked to women in the period (eg. Xu Kun, Liu Xuan). Most of the text is available on google books and you can find it in the thread linked to in the above entry.
Chen Shou, Doctors, Diviners and Magicians of Ancient China, trans. K. Dewoskin, Columbia: Columbia University Press, 1983.
In this book you can find translations of the SGZ biographies (see above) of seven significant doctors that existed during the Three Kingdom period. By far the most recognisable is Hua Tuo. It contains information on other people in the field from earlier and later periods as well as an exploration on the topic as a whole. This book is a must read for those interested in medicine during early China.
Sima Guang, To Establish Peace, trans. R. De Crispigny, Hawai'i: University of Hawai'i Press, 1997.
Sima Guang was commissioned to write a history of China and in 1084AD he finished. This book contains translations of the section about the time period 189-220AD. Whilst I've posted up a link to it on amazon for those wanting a hard copy alternatively you can access it for free in pdf form (Volume 1 and Volume 2). Unlike the SGZ it's written in chronological order (opposed to biographical) which makes it very useful for knowing what happened year to year. Whilst many point to the advantage of Guang being unbiased unlike Chen Shou sadly he only had Chen Shou and Pei Songzhi's biographies to work off of which means he indirectly inherits their bias' .
Sima Guang, Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, trans. A. Fang, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 2013.
Sima Guang was commissioned to write a history of China and in 1084AD he finished. This book contains translations of the section about the time period 220-265AD. Whilst I've posted up a link to volume 1 on amazon for those wanting a hard copy alternatively you can access it for free on the forum. Unlike the SGZ it's written in chronological order (opposed to biographical) which makes it very useful for knowing what happened year to year. Whilst many point to the advantage of Guang being unbiased unlike Chen Shou sadly he only had Chen Shou and Pei Songzhi's biographies to work off of which means he indirectly inherits their bias'.
Sima Guang, Zizhi Tongjian Biographies, trans. capnnerefir, 2014.
In the thread linked to above you can find a list of biographies that our very own Capnnerefir complied based upon Sima Guang's ZZTJ (you can find direct translations under early sources). If you are interested in specific people rather than an overall picture of the Three Kingdoms then you should find these biographies very useful. He has often picked some lesser known figures that you might not find information about elsewhere.
General Political History:
Twitchett, Denis (ed.) and Loewe, Michael (ed.), The Cambridge History of China: Volume 1, The Ch'in and Han Empires, 221 BC-AD 220 v. 1, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1986.
This is the first entry in the widely respected 'The Cambridge History of China'. It covers a wide range of topics such as political history, foreign relations, government organisation and ancient Chinese law. Officially the period the book covers starts with the Qin dynasty and ends with the abdication of Emperor Xian in 220AD. However history doesn't tie up that neatly and by necessity parts of the Three Kingdom period proper is also covered. The highlights of the book for a Three Kingdom historian are Beck's articles on the Fall of the Han providing an alternative historians view on that topic and Ying-Shih's about foreign relations providing a fascinating insight in to Dong Zhuo's motivations. This is the best book to give an in-depth over view of the history of the Han dynasty. My one frustration with the book is the use of Wide-Giles names throughout.
De Crispigny, Rafe, Fire Over Luoyang, A History of the Later Han (23-220AD), Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers, 2016.
De Crispigny, Rafe, A Biographical of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23-220AD), Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers, 2006.
In this book Dr De Crispigny attempts to provide basic information on every named figure of the era (from Lady's with one line to Cao Cao). It contains maps, a short history on the Later Han dynasty, explanation of administrative structure, some genealogical tables and a list of notable woman. Anything someone does after 220 is summed up as quickly as possible. It is a valuable resource for both expert (containing information on some lesser known figures) as well as the beginner. This thread contains some biographies from this book that some of our members have posted on site.
Xiong, Victor Cunrui, The A to Z of Medieval Chinese History, Maryland: Scarecrow Press, 2010.
This book is similar in structure to De Crespigny's Biographical Dictionary of the Three Kingdoms. Unfortunately when it comes to information about the Three Kingdoms it tends to be vague and non-descriptive. While it is not a stellar guide to the Three Kingdoms period individually, it is a good guide overall for the period from approximately 189AD to the end of the 10th century. Notably the book also contains a highly useful chronology section to help readers understand China's complicated political history during the period of division.
Lewis, Mark E., The Early Chinese Empires: Qin and Han , Massachusetts: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2010.
Lewis, Mark E., China Between Empires: The Northern and Southern Empires, Massachusetts: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009.
In this book Lewis looks at how China changed between the Han and Tang Empires. His detailed analysis covers the importance of southern migration, social changes amongst the gentry, development in troop welfare (with some useful pictures) as well as in city structure. Lewis doesn't focus exclusively on the Three Kingdom era and his work on the period is spread throughout the book so it takes time to locate everything relevant. I do think this is a work worth owning for the serious scholar.
Michaud, Paul, The Rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, PHD Thesis, The University of Chicago, 1957.
This thesis focuses on the Yellow Turban rebellion, the traditional starting point of the Three Kingdom era. The author focuses on three main topics: (1) the cause of the rebellion, (2) what the Yellow Turban's believed and (3) the extent of the rebellion. Some of what is written is now considered out of date by more recent scholars but it is a worthwhile introduction to the rebellion. Like all older sources the writer has used Wade-Giles naming system.
Wei Political History:
De Crispigny, Rafe, Imperial Warlord: A Biography of Cao Cao 154-220AD, Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers, 2010.
De Crispigny, Rafe, Man from the Margin: Cao Cao and the Three Kingdoms, Australia: Australian National University, 1990.
Leban, Carl, Ts'ao Ts'ao and the Rise of Wei: the Early Years, PHD Thesis, Columbia University, 1971.
In this outstanding thesis Carl Leban covers Cao Cao's early life, up until the battle of Guandu. It opens with a source analysis and an investigation into Cao Cao's family background before moving to document the events of the Yellow Turbans onwards. Whilst Leban focuses on Cao Cao he puts his life in to the wider context of Yuan Shao and the other warlords. A cheaper alternative to De Crispigny's more recent book on Cao Cao and has largely stood the test of time. The one area that modern scholarship has overtaken the thesis is in relation to Cao Cao's family origins. I highly recommend this thesis. It is worth noting that as the title suggests Wade-Giles is used throughout the book.
Goodman, Howard L., Ts'ao P'i Transcendent: Political Culture and Dynasty-Founding in China at the End of the Han: The Political Culture of Dynasty-founding in China at the End of the Han, Oxford: Routledge, 1998.
In this book Goodman details how Cao Pi attempted to legitimise his regime after the last Han Emperor abdicated. He adopts a critical stance towards Cao Pi and explains some of his successes as well as failures in trying to legitimise the Wei dynasty. He also spends some time talking about the Sima family. Goodman also attempts to provide information about several of Cao Pi's supporters including a rather lengthy chapter on Zhang Lu. Just a warning: this text is older and so uses the Wade-Giles (Ts'ao P'i) names system rather than the newer system that many of you will be more use to (Cao Pi).
Shu Political History
Killigrew, John, 'Zhuge Liang and the Northern Campaign of 228-234', Early Medieval China, vol.1999, no. 1, 1999, pp. 55-91.
In Killigrew's essay on Zhuge Liang, drawing mainly on 'Records of the Three Kingdoms' offers insight in to the success and failures of Liang's Northern Campaigns. Liang is a heavily romanticised character and so Killigrew's historical investigation is very useful, especially to the beginner. The book focuses on the Longzhong dui, a description of each campaign and an evaluation of Zhuge Liang himself. This is a great book for someone looking for a fair treatment of the historical Zhuge Liang.
Farmer, J. Michael, Talent of Shu: Qiao Zhou and the Intellectual World of Early Medieval Sichuan, New York: State University of New York Press, 2008.
Farmer's aim in writing this book seems to have been trying to disprove negative assessments of scholarly activity in South-western China before and during the Three Kingdoms era. He traces a lineage of scholars who were active in the region, discusses their intellectual accomplishments and then spends the rest of the book discussing Qiao Zhou. This analysis is multifaceted because it delves in to both his scholarly accomplishments and being an official in Shu's government. Farmer reveals a lot about the inner workings of the court. This is one of the best books in English to research Shu-Han's later years.
Herman, John, 'The Kingdoms of Nanzhong China's Southwest Border Region Prior to the Eight Century', T'oung Pao, vol.95, no. 4, 2009, pp. 241-286.
Whilst this article only spends a few pages looking at the Three Kingdom period the information it does contain is worth reading. In particular it focuses on the Cong clan who appear in both Shu-Han and Jin history. It also spends some time looking at Yong Kai and gives some historical information on the much romanticised (almost beyond recognition) Southern Campaigns of Zhuge Liang.
Wu Political History:
De Crispigny, Rafe, Generals of the South: the Foundation and Early History of the Three Kingdoms State of Wu, Australia: Australian National University, 1990.
For most members of the Scholars this is our go to source. It's available for free on his university page as the book is now out of print. De Crispigny follows the fortunes of the Sun Clan from Sun Jian's first recorded actions to the eventual fall of the kingdom. Chapter 1 looks at the southern China during the Later Han and the author provides a fascinating insight in to the political history of the period in chapter 2 with Sun Jian's rise through the bureaucracy. A must read for anyone who is interested in the period, De Crispigny's writings is accessible to all levels of audience.
Jin Political History
Goodman, Howard L., Xun Xu and the Politics of Precision in Third-Century AD China, Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers, 2010.
A deep-reaching, highly-technical biographical treatment of Xun Xu. Sheds a great deal of light not only on the life of one highly-technical, opinionated and obstinately perfectionist Confucian man-of-letters, but also on the entire aesthetic-political-historiographical landscape of the turbulent Three Kingdoms (Cao Wei specifically) and early Jin periods of early-mediaeval China. Stresses both the factional, court-intrigue driven divisions within the Wei and Jin courts; and the purely-intellectual ones that arose from multiple sources - the ferment of the xuanxue and qingtan circles of late Wei, the need to legitimate a new dynasty in Jin, the discovery of the Jizhong texts.

This book is a collection of essays, by various prominent authors, regarding the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and its implications about Chinese culture then and now. Some of the topics covered include how the novel demonstrates Confucian teachings, why the Peach Tree pact was made and how it later leads to difficult decisions for those involved, why Zhuge Liang's story is so greatly exaggerated and fictionalized in the novel and elsewhere, and more. There's also a few essays regarding art based on the book from the past and present, including a comparison to the Three Kingdoms television show. Overall, this book acts as a great companion piece to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, though it may not tread any new ground for those who are particularly well-studied in the novel and/or Confucian culture.

Smith's book contains several poems written by Cao Cao, Pi and Zhi. It also offers explanations of when and why the poems were written and contains some bibliographical information about the Cao family. It also has some writings by one of Lu Xun's descendants who served Western Jin. All three Cao's are noted poets and well respected in the history of Chinese literature. This is the go to place for finding their poem's translated in to English.

First Patient Treated in Geron Stem Cell Trial
WASHINGTON – U.S. doctors have begun treating the first patient to receive human embryonic stem cells, but details of the landmark clinical trial are being kept confidential, Geron Corp said on Monday.
Geron has the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration license to use the controversial cells to treat people, in this case patients with new spinal cord injuries. It is the first publicly known use of human embryonic stem cells in people.
"The patient was enrolled at Shepherd Center, a 132-bed spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation hospital and clinical research center in Atlanta, Georgia," Geron said in a statement.
"Shepherd Center is one of seven potential sites in the United States that may enroll patients in the clinical trial."
Northwestern University in Chicago is also ready to enroll patients.
Geron's stem cells come from human embryos left over from fertility treatments. They have been manipulated so that they have become precursors to certain types of nerve cells.
The hope is that they will travel to the site of a recent spinal cord injury and release compounds that will help the damaged nerves in the cord regenerate.
The Phase I trial will not be aiming to cure patients but to establish that the cells are safe to use. Under the guidelines of the trial, the patients must have very recent injuries.
Geron said the Shepherd Center would keep details of the patient confidential.
"When we started working with human embryonic stem cells in 1999, many predicted that it would be a number of decades before a cell therapy would be approved for human clinical trials," Geron President and CEO Dr. Thomas Okarma said in a statement.
Geron is not subject to limitations on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research, as it has done all its work with its own funding.
The government is embroiled in a legal battle over the cells. Just weeks after he took office in 2009, President Barack Obama issued an executive order that eased limitations on federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research.
Opponents of their use say it is wrong to use a human embryo to make the cells, and two researchers have sued the National Institutes of Health. A federal appeals court has allowed continued federal funding of the work until the case is heard.
Stem cells are the master cells of the body, giving rise to blood cells and tissue. Those taken from days-old embryos are the most powerful of all, giving rise to every tissue and cell type.
While scientists have hoped that stem cells could transform medicine, providing cures for diseases such as Parkinson's and juvenile diabetes, the reality has been that they are difficult to work with and do not easily grow into new tissues.Besides Geron, only one other company -- Massachusetts-based Advanced Cell Technology -- has a human embryonic stem cell treatment close to FDA approval.
ACT's product is a human embryonic stem cell trained to become a retinal cell. The company has asked the FDA for permission to use it in patients with Stargardt's macular dystrophy, a genetic eye disease that progresses to blindness.
Geron shares were up 4.1 percent to $5.55 in premarket trade.

The Rhode Island Attorney General and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) announced today the return of the rock known as the Quidnessett Rock, or Narragansett Rune Stone (rock), to state custody.
The investigation that led to the discovery and return of the rock was initiated by the Attorney General's Environmental Unit and DEM's Criminal Investigation Unit who had been notified by the Coastal Resources Management Council that the rock had been removed from the tidal waters off of Pojac Point in North Kingstown between July and August of 2012.
The Attorney General's Office, in conjunction RIDEM, has requested the University of Rhode Island to assist with further examination and analysis of the rock in order to determine the origin of the inscriptions on it. The rock is a Rhode Island formation meta-sandstone that is 7 ft. long, 5 ft. high and 2 ½ ft. high and is inscribed with two rows of symbols, which some have indicated resemble ancient Runic characters.
The Quidnessett Rock also known as the Narragansett Rune Stone was returned to the State on April 16, 2013.
The Quidnessett Rock/Narragansett Rune Stone was first reported to the Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission (HPHC) in the 1980s. The New England Antiquities Research Association published several articles in the mid 1980s/early 1990s about the rock. According to the HPHC, there are a number of marked or inscribed rocks along the shores of the Narragansett Bay Region, the most famous being Dighton Rock, which have been the object of study and speculation since colonial times.
The HPHC has been unable to find any mention of the Quidnessett Rock in any previous inventories of the Narragansett Bay but this may be due to the fact that as early as 1939 the rock was located upland and may have been buried. More recently, due to the dramatic erosion of the shoreline at Pojac Point, the rock's last location prior to its removal was 20 feet from the extreme low tide line making the inscriptions only visible for a short period of time between the shifting tides. Although the rock's significance as a cultural resource has yet to be resolved, the HPHC recognizes the importance of protecting the rock.
Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin and DEM Director Janet Coit thanked the many individuals who assisted in the return of the rock to the State, including Detective Captain Jack McIlmail and Detective Sheila Paquette, DEM Criminal Investigative Unit; Special Assistant Attorney General Christian F. Capizzo, Attorney General's Environmental Unit; Professor Dennis Nixon, Associate Dean and the staff at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography; Janet Freedman, Coastal Geologist and Dave Beutel, Aquaculture Coordinator, the Coastal Resources Management Council, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation; and Fine Arts Express, a private professional rigging company.

James Jackson Runs Amuck
COCHRAN, GA. - July 14, 1915 - No one alive knows why James Jackson ran amuck and killed a deputy, an overseer, and a young farmer. Those who did know what happened, could not or would not tell the whole story of James Jackson and why he killed three men and then was shot at and later blown up by a staggering posse.
The sun was scorching the fields of W.O. Peacock in Bleckley County, some three statute miles from the county seat of Cochran. James Jackson got on the very bad side of his field boss, Mr. Lem W. Sanders. Boss Sanders reprimanded Jackson and sent him back to his quarters in not too good of a mood. Hearsay repeaters swore that Sanders told Jackson that he would have to start working or quit his job on the farm. The rumor mongers consistently maintained that Sanders slapped Jackson, who stomped off in a huff. Some say he went back to get a gun, but the pervasive account is somewhat different.
It was nearly pitch dark when Sanders went to the Negro quarters to deliver some medicine to one of his sick workers. Sanders just happened to pass by Jackson's shack. After a long hard day in the hot fields, Sanders took a seat on the side of Jackson's front porch. Sitting with his back toward Jackson, Sanders' pistol was visible in his back hip pocket in the dim porch light.
Suddenly, and with no warning, Jackson sprang from his seat, grabbed his boss's gun, and pointed it point blank at his antagonist. Sanders, according to Hollis Blackshear, an occupant of the house, begged Jackson not to shoot him. Jackson grabbed Sanders by the arm and held him with one hand. And, with two shots into his heart, killed Lem Sanders dead with the other. Noticing that Blackshear had witnessed the murder, Jackson turned toward the trembling Blackshear and pulled his pistol trigger three times, all misfires. Jackson then fled to the home of one Peter Fambrough.
Fambrough took Jackson to the home of Jackson's brother, who lived near about three crow fly miles from Hawkinsville. When word got out that overseer Sanders had been shot, a small, but highly incensed, posse was organized by night marshal, W. Sumpter "Sump" Hogg. Oscar Lawson, a young farmer, went along with Sump Hogg up to the house to convince Jackson to give himself up.
Marshal Hogg approached a window of the shack and demanded the fleeing felon give himself up. Oscar Lawson went around to the back of the house. Jackson fired an instantly mortal rifle shot straight into the marshal's chest. Jackson walked across the interior of the house and fired a second mortal shot into an eye of Oscar Lawson, who never knew what killed him. Another member of the posse returned fire and temporarily disabled Jackson.
It was about that time when Bleckley County Sheriffs J.A. Floyd and Pulaski County Sheriff J. R. Rogers arrived with a very large posse of law enforcement officers and ordinary citizens. One of the officers grabbed Peter Fambrough and through the most persuasive acts of coercion, forced the terrified accomplice to go to the house and remove the corpses of Jackson's victims. All the while, Jackson kept up his fire from the inside of the embattled abode.
After dragging the dead men out of the line of fire, Fambrough was compelled to crawl under the house with a bundle of dynamite, which had been rushed in from a Hawkinsville store. When it appeared that Jackson was never going to give himself up voluntarily, the dynamite was ignited and Jackson's fortress was blown into various sized smithereens. The posse swarmed the shattered shanty, firing as thy approached. The point men found Jackson dead. Despite reports to the contrary, the Cochran Journal reported that James Jackson's death came at the hands of legally authorized law enforcement authors and not a lynch mob. Some reports suggested that Jackson was dragged from the splintered ruins of the flattened fortress and strung up in a tree by a vengeful mob of as many as six hundred men.
In the passion of the moment, Peter Fambrough and Jackson's brother were also killed when they resisted arrest. One published report maintained that the men had a shot gun, a pistol, and plenty of ammunition.
Lem Sanders, W.O. Peacock's 42-year-old trusted overseer, was buried with honors by the Woodmen of the World the next afternoon. Young Lawson was laid to rest in the cemetery at Antioch Church the next morning. Sump Hogg was known as one of the best officers of Bleckley County, whose sole fault was that he was too careless with his own safety. Mrs. Ludie Hogg and her three children sobbed as her husband was buried in the Weeping Pine Cemetery that afternoon.
Reports of the tragic events were often contradictory. Names of the principals were often misspelled or interchanged. One thing was for certain. Six men were dead. And, many Bleckley Countians were grieving as they closed their business houses for the three funerals.
Although there appeared to be no connection to the killings, the Bleckley County Sheriff announced his resignation within days after Marshal Hogg was killed. Sheriff Floyd stated that he could no longer perform his duties because he was unable to stand the financial strain. "During my first term, I wore out a good horse and buggy and a good automobile in the service of the county, and so far as I could determine, without any adequate financial return," the sheriff wrote.
Floyd maintained that his fees were based on sixty year old costs of operating the jail. He enjoyed his term as sheriff but urged the county to develop a more equitable form of salaries for sheriffs.
The exploding of a desperado by Bleckley County lawmen wasn't confined to James Jackson. Just four days before Christmas, some two and one half years later, Frank Hall was killed by Pomp Wiley. Hall reportedly attempted to break up a fight between Wiley and another man. Enraged at Hall's interference with his business, Wiley fired three true pistol shots into Hall's heart, killing him instantly.
Sheriff Jones and a band of fifty citizens located the accused felon, who had barricaded himself in the home of his brother-in-law. As soon as the posse came into the range of his weapon, Wiley opened fire, striking and wounding Vicar Meadows and Dewitt Morris.
While the main force kept a steady fire in Wiley's direction, a small group of men snuck around to the rear of the house. Sheriff Jones directed the men to place a charge of dynamite under the house just as his predecessor had done to keep James Jackson from killing any more people. And, not surprisingly, the plan worked with similar results - Pomp Wiley was blown up and would never, ever kill again.

New Stem-Cell Procedure May Put End to Root Canals

Many different legends have formed around these magical stones. People have thought that they had demons or angels of light living in them. And because they turned dark at night, they were thought to go to sleep, just like people. People have worn them for protection from evil spirits or attackers, they carried them in medicine and healing pouches, they are powerful spirits in the shamanistic world.
People use them for saying and seeing the future or for objects of meditation. They are said to speak for, or are the voices of the mineral world spirits. Most are hundreds of millions of years old. The stars in all stones are believed to increase the gemstones magical powers, because it's the all seeing eye of the spirit contained in the stone. They speak only when in the light and their voice is one of movement and shadow light shades. They are the symbol of the heavens.
My personal favorite about the legend of the star sapphire involve the three crossed rays seen in them, they are said to represent Faith, Hope, and Destiny.
An fascinating fact about star sapphire and star ruby For every 100 faceted ruby and sapphire mined, approximately three stars are discovered. One will have good color and a bad star. One will have a good star and bad color. Only one out of a hundred will have a good star and good color.

BOSTON – Maybe this was the reverse Willis Reed.
Once upon a time, the New York center magically emerged from the Madison Square Garden tunnel to a rousing ovation and sparked the Knicks to victory.
Tonight, Zdeno Chara, unfortunately, was forced to do the opposite for the Bruins.
Boston's captain, who was hospitalized last night due to dehydration, dressed and took the warm-up with his teammates prior to Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with Montreal. When the lineup sheet was released, however, he was listed as a scratch and did not play in Boston's 3-1 loss.
Montreal now leads the series, 2-0, with Game 3 and 4 set for next week in Montreal.
"Hopefully it's going to be better," said head coach Claude Julien about Chara's condition. "He deserves so much credit for what he did tonight, coming to the rink and going out there for warm-up. He came off the ice and he was sweaty, he was dizzy, and there was no way in the world that we could've used him tonight and played him. Absolutely no way. The doctors told us the same thing. I talked to him. Even attempting to come was courageous on his part. But there was absolutely no way that he could've played tonight. It's unfortunate, we missed him, but certainly he did the best he could to even try. To be honest with you, it wasn't even close."
When asked about Chara's treatment over the next couple days before Monday's Game 3, Julien said it'll be mostly rest and fluids. But he also was asked if all Chara was suffering from was dehydration.
"Obviously that's one of the situations and we're not going to comment any further than that," said Julien, alluding to a bigger reason for Chara's condition.
The coach then went on a rant that makes you wonder if he's checking his Twitter feed between periods. If he is, I hope he's not following me.
"But still, I know that he's been beat up on a little bit with you some of you media that think you know better than anybody else," said Julien while channeling Richard Nixon. "But there was no way he could play. So anything else, it's disappointing to see people making comments. You're going to say 'well, we don't know the whole thing.' Well I think if he could've played, he would've played tonight. And he tried his best and he couldn't play. So it's disappointing that people would even question this guy for what he is and what he's done."
Let's just say that if there were any legitimate media members at this game tonight questioning Chara's will or intentions, I didn't meet them. It would be interesting if what's ailing Chara now had something to do with what forced him to leave the bench area numerous times during the Bruins' game March 31 at the Garden. The next day Chara didn't practice, but Julien and the Bruins reported the captain had "no issues."
Media conspiracies or not, the Bruins now have a 2-0 hole to dig out of with or without Chara.
"It should get us even more motivated. I mean to step up and fill a void he's leaving, I mean he is a great [role-model] type of guy. Our captain," said defenseman Dennis Seidenberg. " [He] doesn't suit up, it's tough. But that gives a chance for other guys to step up and play bigger roles."
Instead of winning one for Chara, the Bruins fell apart to complete the "reverse Willis Reed." Maybe he'll be able to come back and save them up in Montreal.

Uses of Scientology
Which way Man goes from this point is actually not the question. We do have the means by which Man could improve himself and his societies. We have them in Scientology in its application to education, because we can educate people today, perhaps for the first time. —L. Ron Hubbard
Throughout history, one subject actually did improve individuals. And that was education. But without the knowledge about the mind, spirit and life discovered in Scientology, education has not only lacked elements essential to success, its defects have crippled civilizations. And today, across the whole educational landscape, teachers contend daily with problems that, when addressed with Scientology technology, readily surrender.
Thus L. Ron Hubbard provides a comprehensive and very specific account of how to transform a failing educational zone into a scene of sparkling success, simply by applying Scientology basics. As he details example after example, what emerges is not only that Scientology can enormously advance education, but that education begins with Scientology. These applications extend far beyond the school and university, reaching wherever educators, professionals and governments teach and train.
Anchored by a technology of life itself, education can finally realize its full potential, providing individuals and cultures with an unshakable foundation for success and prosperity.

Re: Fake ID
They aren't fake ID cards persay, they've created a fake template for an ID Card, put some flowers on it, they're not drivers licesnces or anything like that, that's how they get away with it... It's not a fake ID, as it's not pretending to be an official ID or licence.

the increase of power in the federal ( iovernment during the hist twenty years the creation of a vast office holding class with its numerous depen dents and the growth of the means of corrupt

the parts as signed to them and to relieve them from the timidity which god litis implanted in the human bosom as a limit to criminal audacity detachments of tlie army were sent to afford them shelter

cession of government in this country will come to be determined by fraud or force as it litis been in almost every other conn try t and the experience will be reproduc ed here which litis led to the general adop tion ofthe hereditary system iu order to avoid confusion and civil war the magnitude of a political crime must in measured by its natural and necessary consequences our great republic bas been the only example in the world of a regular and orderly transfer of govern mental succession by the elective system to destroy the habit of traditionary respect for the will of the people tis declared through tlie electoral form and to exhib it our institutions as a failure is the great est possible wrong to our country it is also a heavy blow tothe hopes of patriots struggling to

London: The former Valencia tactician has confirmed the Blues captain remains sidelined with the knock he picked up during his comeback match against Liverpool on November 11
Interim Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez has confirmed John Terry remains sidelined with a knee injury and is unsure about a return date for the club captain.
Terry suffered the injury on his comeback from suspension in the Blues` Premier League clash with Liverpool on November 11, but had been predicted to return within three weeks.
However, Benitez has conceded the former England international is struggling to get fully fit, telling reporters: "The knee is quite complicated. Sometimes it`s really good, it`s going really well and the day after we have to wait a little bit and we start again.
"I think obviously it will be closer every day but you ask me the question will it be closer [and] I cannot say how close."
When asked if there is a date set for Terry's return, he responded: "No. We can say that it is getting better and this morning I was talking with him and he told me this, that he was fine and then the day after he was feeling a little bit worse, and then two days after he was fine, so we`ve got to see."
There was better news for the west London club, however, with Benitez revealing Daniel Sturridge is available for selection.
He added: "The players are okay, we have suspensions but in terms of fitness they are fine and available, apart from what we knew before. Daniel Sturridge was training with us, he is fine."
The 52-year-old takes his side to face Leeds United in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup on Wednesday and is hoping a lack of preparation will not impact on their performance.
He added: "We played seven - with this one it will be eight - games in 24 days, so it`s not easy especially when you have a new manager. You don`t have time to prepare games and you have to play and go to Japan and come back so it`s quite difficult.
"But that`s the situation and we have to manage the situation. We played against Corinthians in Japan and they were waiting for us for 15 days and we were just playing a game, going there and we have to play quickly another game.
"When you are in a top side you are in different competitions. That is the way."
