I can only "hope" that you changed the oil filter as well. It will also be covered and plugged by the same sludge...thus no oil pressure. Best of luck .

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Northern Virginia Community College.
There are a variety of approaches to project management. Critical chain management (CCPM) puts more emphasis on the resources required to execute tasks, while event chain methodology focuses on managing events that will affect scheduling. Regardless of the method you choose, the Small Business Administration advises listing out specific project objectives, create a working timeline of both materials and personnel, and monitor all required costs as the project proceeds. Project control means keeping on-track, on-time, and under budget.
A project manager, therefore, is responsible for determining project requirements, and managing all elements of the task. Project management software is available that will help to organize both yourself and your team. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it may include estimating and cost control, decision-making trees, and a workflow analysis. Over the course of any project, the requirements may change mid-stream, without prior notice. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, altered site conditions, material availability or lack thereof. Finally, a formal, compliance-based audit may be conducted by upper management after completion. Beyond degree requirements such as Northern Virginia Community College history degree programs, you may consider Wayne State College course numbers for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Retirees, Your Health Plans Look A Bit PeakedDon Dunn
Along with a gold watch, many companies traditionally bid adieu to retiring employees with a promise to pay their health insurance costs, at least until age 65 when medicare kicks in. But these days, more and more retirees are experiencing the realities of the workplace. And a new accounting rule, effective in January, may cause you to dig deeper into your pocket to provide sound medical coverage for yourself and family. By recognizing the inevitable early, though, you have an opportunity to plan ways to juggle your medical budget to assure solid protection.
The new rule requires companies to show the liability for retirees' health benefits on their regular financial statements. The drag on earnings, which could weaken share prices, should put greater pressure on employers to trim medical costs. An easy way is to require retirees to pay a heftier hunk of the insurance premium--or even all of it. And if you don't think that's a fair way for your company to reward loyal longtime workers, consider this: Some companies have eliminated health benefits for retirees altogether, and others, including Unisys and McDonnell Douglas, have cuts on their drawing boards.
READ THE RULES. Before you get word that your ex-employer is pulling the rug out from under you, a first step is to become familiar with your plan's cobra provisions. The term stands for the government's Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, but it might well be called Continuation of Benefits for Retiring Actives. Its rules govern how long an employee who retires (or whose job is terminated) can continue coverage under the company's group health plan.
The period may be specific--18 months, typically--or however long it takes until you are eligible for medicare. Varying by company, there are different arrangements on how much of the health premium gets paid by the employer, how much by you.
Once you are armed with the data, you're prepared to decide whether you need to buy additional health coverage for yourself and your family. The size of your company can affect the decision. If you work where there are 20 or more employees, and keep working past 65, your employer must let you stay in the regular health plan. Then medicare supplements the company benefits.
KEEP WORKING. If you are still at work, but are close to retirement age and feel fairly certain you'll face sizable medical bills once you say goodbye, you might want to consider delaying the retirement date. If the company plan calls for active employees to pay only a small portion of the health premium, while retirees must pay the full amount and perhaps get fewer benefits besides, it could make economic sense to stay on the job a while longer.
Don't bank on medicare to relieve all of your health worries once you hit 65. Its coverage often leaves much to be desired. For instance, a longtime stay in a hospital can be financially disastrous: You pay $163 daily after the first 60 days, $326 daily after 150 days, and all costs beyond that. And medicare pays nothing after the first 100 days when a patient is in a skilled-care nursing home. There's no benefit, either, for custodial care--the kind needed by many nursing home residents--or prescription drugs once you are out of the hospital. So if your ex-employer's own group plan is costly or excludes retired workers, you will need to investigate the cost of medicare supplement policies, sometimes called medigap or medsupp coverage. There are 10 different health plans. Each offers a basic package of benefits, but individual policies include coverage for such things as skilled-nursing, outpatient drugs, and preventive medical care. A free booklet, Consumer's Guide to Medicare Supplement Insurance, has helpful information. It's available from the Health Insurance Association of America, Box 41455, Washington, D.C. 20018.
Ron Berman, a partner in the tax department of Grant Thornton's office in Madison, Wis., says some companies have reduced their costs by setting up separate insurance pools for retired employees. Older than the general work force, retirees have more health claims and consequently are usually insured at higher rates. Rather than cut them off completely, the companies agree to subsidize the health premiums for a specific length of time--5 or 10 years, say. After that, notes Berman, the retirees must pay the full premium.
In such instances, it's a good idea to check whether you can join with others in a group that can ask an insurer to provide coverage at lower-than-individual rates. Churches, fraternal organizations, and professional associations often make such deals. "You pay 100% of the premium, but it's less than you'd pay by yourself," Berman says.
WARNING SIGNALS. Another idea some companies are using to lower their own costs while helping loyal workers and retirees stay insured: a veba. That's a voluntary employee benefits association. It's similar to a 401(k) plan that lets you sock away pretax dollars in an investment account, with the money specifically earmarked for health costs or medical insurance premiums. Because vebas have strict limits on the amount of assets that can be put aside, they're not widely available. But more companies, particularly ones where employees are unionized, are considering setting them up.
If there is an upside to the new accounting rule, it's that it forces companies to get the numbers out into the open, so analysts and workers will have a chance to spot early-warning signals of an employer's inability to fund health-care liabilities. "Previously, employers promised benefits to retirees without calculating what they might cost," says Melissa Krause, an audit partner at Deloitte & Touche. "Everything was pay-as-you-go. So you could work 25 years and then discover your company didn't have enough money to keep its promises."
In the mid-1980s, that happened at such companies as Colt Industries, Bethlehem Steel, and Bessemer Cement. Now, with the average retired worker's annual health costs running about $2,500 vs. $2,275 in 1990, more companies are planning to take steps to trim expenses in the near future. The propensity to minimize costs or slash benefits shows up clearly in a Foster Higgins survey of 1,380 employers (table).
Despite President-elect Clinton's optimism that government action can bring about improved health care for everyone, Grant Thornton's Berman says the individual shouldn't depend on Washington. And you certainly shouldn't rely on any verbal pledges that are made by your employer.
"Right now, you need to understand exactly what your company has promised you--in writing," says Berman. "And no matter how good it sounds, double-check whether there's a line that says the company has the right to amend or terminate the plan." If the words are there, the courts have upheld the companies' rights to make any changes they want--even if the result is that you're left with expensive medical costs, or no insurance at all. It's a case, perhaps, where reading the fine print can make you feel in desperate need of a doctor.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared past its record closing high on Tuesday, smashing through levels last seen in 2007 as it closed at 14,253.77. The prior closing high, set on October 9, 2007, was 14,164. The S&P 500 also hit 5 and 1/2-year highs; the index now sits 26 points below its all-time closing high of 1,565, set on the same day.
J.C. Penney (JCP), however, was not feeling the rally love as it hemorrhaged even more of its market value. Shares opened sharply lower and closed the trading day down more than 10%. At this point it appears even the people behind the store's planned turnaround are running for the exits. Board member and activist investor Steve Roth is unloading 10 million Penney shares owned by his firm Vornado Realty Trust (VNO). Roth paid between $25 and $30 for the shares. The stock also lost 5% Monday on the news that Roth was decreasing his investment in the company.
Meanwhile, Sears Holdings (SHLD) emerged as one of today's biggest gainers. Shares were closed up more than 5% for the day. The rise follows word that CEO Edward Lampert has purchased 1.24 million of the retailer's shares from an investment fund he controls. That's a transaction of about $55 million.
Google (GOOG) stock hit a new all-time high of $840.15 intraday Tuesday, along with the Dow. Shares have been advancing as the company's Android software further dominates the mobile phone market. In addition, Google is maintaining its lead in mobile advertising. The stock is now trading about $280 above its 52-week low, which was hit back in June.
Apple (AAPL) shares bobbed back a least a little bit today. Shares rose again after hitting a new 52-week low Monday; they had tumbled another 2% on the news that a judge was changing a jury award that Apple won in a patent case against rival Samsung. Apple was originally supposed to receive $1 billion but will now be paid less than half of that. AAPL ended up around 2% for the day on Tuesday.
Marriott (MAR) just might seem to have a screw loose. The company is announcing a new partnership Tuesday with Ikea; the two companies are teaming-up to create a new low-cost hotel chain in Europe. The hotels won't have Ikea furniture, but in the Ikea mindset, many rooms will be pre-fabricated. Shares of Marriott have been see-sawing over the past year but are currently within striking distance of their 52-week high of $41.84. Shares ended up close to 1% for the day.
Meanwhile, Gun-maker Smith and Wesson (SWHC) reported its quarterly earnings after the closing bell, with a 39% jump in sales that was helped by higher demand for its rifles and pistols. Smith & Wesson's shares fell more than 18% after the Newtown shooting in December but they bounced back amid a sales surge. While shares were up initially after hours following the results, investors then seemed to book gains on the company, sending the stock down around 2%.

Hi everybody,
I usually draw to an offscreen image to solve this problem. But AffineTransform doesn't work with offscreen images so I have to find an alternative way to get rid of stupid flashing. Any ideas would be appreciated.
It doesn't? This would surprise me if true.Quote:
AffineTransform doesn't work with offscreen images
let me clarify WHY it doesn't.
There are two ways (I know of) to use affine transform to modify objects.
The first is to set the transform such as this:
and then set the transform:Code:
AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
after which reseting it to the standard transform.Code:
This works fine for Graphics2D. but on offscreen images the method .setTransform does not exist thus nullifying this method of use.
The second way is to set a transform such as the above... and then create an object with it such as:
Once again this method would work, but has two flaws. The first... I'm trying to rotate an image. I can't create convert Image to a Shape so for one the above code can't help me rotate my image. The second problem is offscreen images can't draw "Shape" types. They can draw Rectangle's, Ellipse's, ect... but the type "Shape" is undefined.Code:
Shape shape1 = at.createTransformedShape(Ellipse1)
So as you can see... from what I know about affineTransform's and offscreen images. I need to find another way.... My other way was to remove the offscreen image altogether, and transform in a Graphics object which works perfectly. My new problem is that without the offscreen image I have the uncontrollable flickering and flashing to deal with now.
// double buffering
put this in bigining part
Image dbImage;
Graphics dbg;
and then put his at the end
public void update (Graphics g)
if (dbImage == null)
dbImage = createImage (this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
dbg = dbImage.getGraphics ();
dbg.setColor (getBackground ());
dbg.fillRect (0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
dbg.setColor (getForeground());
paint (dbg);
g.drawImage (dbImage, 0, 0, this);
Well lets bufferG the paint function
(1)Add these to your declarations
Image buffer;
Graphics bufferG;
(2)Next Add this to your init
buffer=createImage(this.getWidth(),this.getHeight( ));
(3)Now in your paint rename the g.whatever to bufferG.whatever
(4) at the end of paint add this line
(5)Add this to the end of your code before the last bracket
public void update(Graphics g)
This code will take away all of that annoying flashing

What does cahokia mounds mean?
Definitions for cahokia moundskəˈhoʊ ki ə
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word cahokia mounds.
Cahokia Mounds
Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site is located on the site of an ancient Native American city situated directly across the Mississippi River from modern St. Louis, Missouri. This historic park lies in southern Illinois between East St. Louis and Collinsville. The park covers 2,200 acres, or about 3.5 square miles, and contains about 80 mounds, but the ancient city was actually much larger. In its heyday, Cahokia covered about 6 square miles and included about 120 man-made earthen mounds in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and functions. Cahokia was the largest and most influential urban settlement in the Mississippian culture which developed advanced societies across much of what is now the Southeastern United States, beginning more than 500 years before European contact. Cahokia's population at its peak in the 1200s was among the largest cities in the world, and its ancient population would not be surpassed by any city in the United States until the late 18th century. Today, Cahokia Mounds is considered the largest and most complex archaeological site north of the great Pre-Columbian cities in Mexico. Cahokia Mounds is a National Historic Landmark and designated site for state protection. In addition, it is one of only 21 World Heritage Sites within the United States. It is the largest prehistoric earthen construction in the Americas north of Mexico. The site is open to the public and administered by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, and is supported by the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society.

Did Billie Jo's mother die in Out of the Dust?
- print Print
- list Cite
Billy Jo's mother did indeed die. In the section entitled "Devoured," dated August 1934, Billy Jo wrote,
"Ma died that day
giving birth to my brother."
Ma had been burned in a terrible accident, which is described in a previous section written in July 1934. Daddy had put a pail of kerosene near the stove, and Ma, thinking it was water, reached for it, pouring the contents into a pot on the stove where she was making coffee. The kerosene ignited, making "a rope of fire," and as Ma ran outside, the entire pail burst into flames. Thinking to help, Billy Jo grabbed the pail and threw its fiery contents out the door, not realizing that Ma was returning to the house just at that moment. Ma was doused with the flaming kerosene, and Billy Jo tried desperately to put out the flames with her hands.
There was no sophisticated care for burn victims in those days. Daddy and Doc Rice could do no more than lay Ma in bed with a sheet made into a tent over her so that it would not touch her scorched skin. Due to deliver her baby at any time, Ma lay in agony for days, and her family could do little for her other than try to squeeze a little water between her parched lips to ease her thirst. Unable to handle the situation, Daddy took the little money they had saved and went out and got drunk, leaving Billie Jo to tend to her mother as best she could. When the baby came, Doc Rice was there to deliver him, but Ma died in childbirth, and the baby died soon after.
Yes she did indeed die. When Billie jo poured kerosene on accident she got burned badly. Unknowingly, Ma is pregnant to born a new baby brother. Arrival comes... YAY! But... not yay for Billie. Billie Jo's mom then dies while giving birth.After few days unknowingly, the brother dies. You see, Billie Jo names his brother Franklin while they buried them.

I can hear the U1450's diesel engine making noise, but our forward progress is imperceptible. Again, we're moving at 4 feet per minute. I should explain that this particular Unimog has been outfitted with a set of ultra-low gears, bringing its total up to 32 speeds — eight forward, eight low, eight ultra-low, and eight reverse. Why eight reverse? "Well, let's say you have to back up a train," Karlheinz Guttman explains with a straight face. "You might want to start slow and then speed things up." It's true, you might.The real answer to the question "Why?" is that since it was developed in 1946, the Unimog (short for Universal Motor Geraet, or Universal Motorized Machine) has always been about maximum functionality. Intended to be a replacement for a conventional tractor, Unimogs never really set the agricultural world on fire. Farmers, it seems, are just fine with their tractors. Militaries the world over, however, absolutely love them some Unimog because of its ability to do damn near everything. Like towing trains, moving at speeds as slow as 4 feet per minute or — most important — being able to get to the same places as a tank.Guttman and Burow are curators of the Unimog Museum in Gaggenau, Germany, halfway between Stuttgart and Strasbourg, France, home to the original Unimog factory. While small, the museum does house a great collection of Unimogs, including Prototype #6, the earliest surviving Unimog there is. (Fun fact: The original track was 127 cm wide because that's the same as two rows of potatoes.) The collection also contains several early 400 series 'Mogs, including a bafflingly cute Swiss fire truck with a 40cm wheelbase extension, because a Swiss law mandated that all fire vehicles must be able to seat eight people. I ran up a 40-percent incline, then jammed down the backside of the hill into 2 feet of frozen waterWhat's so incredible about the prototype is that all the key aspects that define Unimogs to this day are present in the original. First are the portal axles. Instead of the ends of the axles entering the center of the wheel, the shafts enter the top of the wheels and are then geared down. This effectively doubles the truck's ground clearance. The next key trait is the hyper-articulating suspension. Each solid axle is able to rotate up to 30 degrees in either direction. (The torque tubes fit into the transmission via a ball joint.) Moreover, the engine and transmission are attached to the frame only in three places, on rubberized mounts. When called for, this setup provides extra twisting ability.The final piece of the Unimog puzzle are the unique transmissions. Even the earliest versions provided for several forward speeds (six in 1946!) and multiple reverse gears. Prototype #6 had two, whereas modern 'Mogs have up to eight. Reverse on a Unimog works similarly to low gears (transfer case) on traditional 4x4s. There's a second lever (on manual trucks) for selecting forward or reverse. All you need do is clutch in and throw the lever, and suddenly you've gone from fifth gear to fifth in reverse. They also have the from-the-factory ability to accept geared power takeoff units to run more than 3500 implements, from snow blowers to seed spreaders to grass trimmers.Behind the museum is a small yet severe Unimog parcourse with an idling 2012 U4000 doka, or double cab. Burow was in the driver's seat and eager to give me a run around the course. Guttman gave me a copy of "Faszination Unimog Museum," a book about the museum's history that happens to contain a photo of Burow building the parcourse. Who better to take me around?Two-dimensional images don't do justice to the severity of the course and its obstacles. From my perspective, the U4000 scaled a wall, climbed a staircase, drove on its door, and rode over boulders. Then, Burow ran the entire thing backwards. The mighty 'Mog didn't even sweat, let alone even kind of get stuck. I was having so much fun, I invited the photo and video crew inside to have a couple laps. As far as I know, they're still smiling. After the museum, we went to an abandoned rock quarry near Rastatt that's been converted into a Unimog playground. "Wonderland" is more apt. There were 45-percent grades, 4-foot-deep water obstacles, rocks, mud pits, tortuous trails, and specially designed piles of concrete to show off the fact the driver-side front wheel can be 1 meter off the ground. At the same time, the passenger-side rear wheel can also be 1 meter up. All too often, trucks and SUVs are described as having the ability to "go anywhere." But I can't think of another production vehicle I've ever been in that could do one-quarter of what the U4000 did.Finally it was my time to drive. The biggest difference between driving a Unimog and a normal truck is the transmission. While there is a full automatic mode, for severe obstacles you naturally want the ability to select your own gears. (You don't really need first through third gears for normal driving. The U4000 can happily take off from a stop in fourth gear.) If you do decide to slip the clutch, there's a vestigial clutch pedal that can be released. The U4000 I drove had eight forward gears, six reverse, plus an additional eight in each direction when you're in low. You press forward on the gear lever to go up, pull back to go down, and there's another button below it to engage forward or reverse. You literally just flick it. I'd say it's about 2 minutes of learning and then you're good to go, well, anywhere.I set off and headed for a steep, muddy incline. The Unimog bounded up the slope like it wasn't there. Then I realized that I was still in RWD. The thing about Unimogs is — and this goes all the way back to the prototypes — once you engage AWD, the center differential is locked. (Technically, there is no center diff, but once the front driveshaft is engaged, the ratio is locked and torque is split 50/50.) Like all Unimogs, the front and rear differentials can be locked. On modern 'Mogs you can choose which axle to lock via pneumatics. And you can engage the low gears in RWD. I never did anything severe enough to warrant using the lockers, but I found a few places in the quarry where AWD was required.The highlight for me was running up a rutted, muddy 40-percent incline and then immediately jamming down the backside of the hill into 2 feet of frozen water. I crashed through a sheet of ice, and it's something I'll never forget. While I was behind the wheel of the Unimog for only half an hour, I laughed the entire time. Supercars are far less fun. Color me massively and completely impressed.

Coming Attractions
"Regis Philbin Will Launch Titanic in Tennessee": That headline topped a press release about the new $25 million permanent Titanic Museum attraction opening in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, in April. In other words, the star of Regis & Kelly is going to christen John Jacob Astor's seagoing death car.
Junior Achiever
Harold Ford Jr.'s New York Senate campaign isn't getting off to the smoothest start. Several sources have noted that contrary to the Ford campaign's previous claims, the former Memphis congressman has paid all the New York state income tax he owes. Or, as Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo put it, "Ford is presenting New Yorkers with a choice of voting against him as a tax cheat or as the guy with the worst press operation in human history."
Thumbs Up
Anybody who's ever worked in the news industry knows it's not always easy to find an appropriate illustration for fast-breaking news. But really, WREG, this was the best you could do?
Why stop there? I'm sure you could have found an approving clown to go with this one:

Mortal Kombat II (1993)
A year after Mortal Kombat shocked parents and rocked arcades, its sequel brought a ton of improvements to the franchise – and to its resident ninjas, as well. No longer a pair of baggy-costumed sadsacks, they were sleeker, more muscular and sported identical facemasks that we're pretty sure started life as part of a paintball mask.
Above: Yep
Sure, the two were still functionally identical, but nobody at the time really cared. Especially not when they saw how much prettier the new game's graphics and gore looked, or how much cooler the ninjas' signature moves were.
Their new incarnations also brought a few fresh special moves with them, with Sub-Zero now able to create slick patches of ice to render attackers helpless.
Above: Not to mention hilarious
Meanwhile, Scorpion had, uh… a new leg-grab.
Above: That's pretty exciting, I guess
On the plus side, however, he could also now execute his teleport punch in midair, which was kind of funny if you did it while the other guy wasn't jumping or far enough away.
Above: Ha ha, whoops
Snazzier uniforms and new attacks weren't the only changes Scorpion and Sub-Zero underwent in the sequel, however. Finishing the game with Sub-Zero, for example, revealed that he wasn't the warrior fans remembered from the first game. Instead Sub-Zero had been killed by Scorpion, leaving his younger brother (played in the ending by designer/programmer Joshua Y. Tsui) to enter the new tournament in his stead. (The older brother was later revealed to have become shadowy secret character Noob Saibot.)
Not seen: This guy as Sub-Zero, ever again
Interestingly, this fact was not lost on Scorpion, who had a remarkable change of heart regarding cold-powered ninjas.
Regardless of any newfound motivations, the pair had no trouble killing each other, this time with an expanded roster of Fatalities that – in Sub-Zero's case, anyway – drew a little inspiration from the censored Nintendo version.
Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate MK3/Mortal Kombat Trilogy (1995/1996)
While Sub-Zero and Scorpion had been largely identical palette-swaps of each other up to this point, the third Mortal Kombat shocked fans by actually making them distinct from each other. Not only that, but it unmasked the previously Chinese Sub-Zero as beefy white actor John Turk, slapping a scar over his eye (which supposedly came from Kung Lao's hat) for good measure. More puzzling still was the decision to make him shirtless apart from the blue straps of his uniform, which made it look like his spandex dance pants were held up by giant novelty suspenders.
Whatever you thought of his new appearance, though, it was hard to argue with his skills onscreen. Now outfitted with paralyzing dial-a-combos and the heretofore undheard-of ability to run, Sub-Zero lost one of his old special moves – the frozen-puddle "attack" – but replaced it with the slightly more useful ice clone maneuver.
MK3 also added the ice shower, apparently meant to confuse opponents by dumping unpredictable blasts of freon on them from above.
Not everyone liked Sub-Zero's maskless face and moveset, so to pacify those fans, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 introduced Classic Sub-Zero, an apparent reincarnation of the O.G. Chinese ninja warrior. Essentially just another palette-swapped ninja in a game full of them, Classic borrowed his versus-screen portrait from Reptile…
... and his onscreen stance from Scorpion…
... but otherwise he played a lot like the MKII incarnation of Sub-Zero, complete with the old ice-puddle ability.
Above: Still funny
He also brought his old, spine-ripping Fatality back into the action – or at least, he brought the suggestion of it, since the screen would always black out right after he grabbed his opponent's head.
Above: LAAAAAAAAAME
CSZ might have appeared to be the Second Coming of the current Sub-Zero's older brother, although again, MK canon now tells us that was Noob Saibot. So who was this guy, really? According to his ending, he unmasked himself as a warrior who's "long been absent from Mortal Kombat," and who would "return in the fourth tournament." Going by that description and what we know about MK4, our guess is he was really the fighter known as "total bullshit."
Meanwhile, what amazing new skills did Scorpion bring to counter all these changes in his old rival and new protege? Well, see, he had an axe.
It came out during his combos.
What, you were expecting more?
All right, to be fair, Scorpion did eventually get one new special move: a forward-flying version of his teleporting punch. However, that didn't happen until the console-only Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Not that he really needed it, though – why bother weighing him down with new attacks when his harpoon is still one of the best special moves in the game?
Above: Still got it
Interestingly, while MK3 preserved the "Scorpion now protects Sub-Zero" business from MKII, it also made Scorpion a bad guy. His ending revealed that he'd eagerly joined forces with villain Shao Kahn for a ticket out of the hell-like Netherrealm, and rebelled only after it became clear that carrying out his orders would mean hurting Sub-Zero.
Of course, there was plenty of newness in the two ninjas' finishing moves. And given that MK3 sported more than any other game in the series, there were plenty of bizarre new ways to humiliate and dispatch your opponents.
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (1997)
This wasn't such a bad idea on paper. Giving one of the most popular characters in a popular fighting franchise his own side-scroller actually made pretty good sense, especially considering that it promised to give the fans who cared about MK's story a glimpse into the origin of Sub-Zero and Scorpion's feud. It would also fill in some of the backstory for Mortal Kombat 4, hopefully giving fans a deeper interest in the terrible new characters Quan Chi and Shinnok.
Unfortunately, MKM: Sub-Zero ended up a terrible mess of ugly sprites, cheap deaths and a button you had to hit just to change the direction you were facing, and the less that's said about it, the better. True, it did seemingly retcon a few things about Sub-Zero and Scorpion's shared past, establishing that Scorpion had always been a yellow-clad ninja, and that his family and the Shirai Ryu clan – previously implied to be alive in MKII – were dead as well, which is interesting. However, you can learn pretty much everything you need to know about Mythologies, and Sub-Zero and Scorpion's roles within it, just by watching this video:

By Team Titleist On March 8, 2010
Titleist Brand Ambassador Brett Wetterich returns to action this week at the Honda Classic, 21 months since he last teed it up on Tour at the 2008 Memorial Tournament. Since that event, Brett has been sidelined by numerous injuries to his shoulder, wrist, and knee. Playing this season on a major medical exemption, the 2006 EDS Byron Nelson Championship winner has 17 events to earn enough money to keep his exempt status. For more on Brett's return to the PGA Tour, be sure to check out Craig Dolch's article on PGATour.com.The Titleist equipment in Brett's bag reflects the fact that he has not had the opportunity to test much of the new gear released during his absence. With the new groove regulations in effect as a condition of competition on Tour this season, though, Brett has moved into the new CB irons and Vokey Design Spin Milled C-C wedges. Vokey Tour Representative Aaron Dill worked with Brett earlier this week and noted that "Brett was having some trouble with spin and launch and with his 60 degree digging too much. We went to more bounce and tried the SM1 56-14 and SM2 60-10." After working with the wedges during his practice rounds, Brett noticed dramatic improvement over his previous wedges.Titleist Equipment in Brett Wetterich's bag:Ball: Pro V1xDriver: 905R - 8.5, Graphite Design YS-6+Fairway: 906F2 - 15, Graphite Design YS-6+Fairway: 906F2 - 18, Graphite Design YS-6+Irons: CB - 3-P, Precision Rifle SteelWedge: Vokey Design Spin Milled C-C - 56.14, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour IssueWedge: Vokey Design Spin Milled C-C - 60.10, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour IssuePutter: Scotty Cameron Tour Newport Stainless

Brandon - When you say you had the irons bent, was it for loft or lie angle? Clubs that are too upright in terms of lie angle have a tendency to impact the turf toward the heel with a resulting miss to the left of the target (for a right-handed golfer). We always recommend working with an authorized Titleist fitter to help you determine the appropriate specifications for your Titleist equipment.
March 8, 2010 at 2:10pm
this really has nothing to do with Brett , but i have a question about my clubs or at least some tips. I'm about 5'6'' and i have Titleist 704.CB irons thats ive been playin with for a year and i shot good over that year ,but as soon as i got them bent i developed a hook terribly. what do you think caused this? I had my swing video taped and my swing plane was fine, but it just turns into a snap hook. Possibly the shaft flex? anything would help. Thanks

If you have insurance that is comparable to the U-M International Student/Scholar Health Insurance (IHI), you can request a waiver of the health insurance requirement. If you plan to purchase insurance, please make sure your policy will meet these standards before you purchase it as many policies do not meet these requirements. Also, please remember that the IHI plan changes from time to time and so do the requirements for the approval of insurance waivers. Therefore, insurance that was acceptable in prior years may not be acceptable this year.
Applying for an Insurance Waiver
If you have another health insurance plan and you want to apply for a waiver, please make sure that your health insurance plan meets the standards below. Remember that coverage for all requirements must be available in the U.S.
U-M Health Insurance Standards
- The following kinds of insurance plans are not considered to be comparable to the U-M International Student/Scholar Insurance (IHI) and therefore are NOT acceptable:
- Travel insurance is not acceptable. Travel insurance is in effect for a short period of time (60-90 days, for example) and is designed for short trips. Insurance that you plan to substitute for the IHI Plan should be in effect at least through August 31 of the current academic year unless you plan to leave the University permanently before then.
- Insurance that covers emergencies only is not acceptable.
- Insurance that pays for a patient's condition to be "stabilized" but then requires the patient to be returned to the home country for treatment is not acceptable.
- Coverage under MediShare (or other forms of cost-sharing arrangements that are not true medical insurance) is not acceptable.
- Insurance that does not cover or limits coverage for pre-existing conditions is not acceptable.
- Medicaid is not acceptable as a substitute for the International Student/Scholar Health Insurance Plan, since F-1 and J-1 students or scholars are not eligible for Medicaid. Even if a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services staff member mistakenly enrolls an international student or scholar in Medicaid, an insurance waiver based on Medicaid enrollment will not be approved.
- Preventive care must be covered at 100% of usual and customary charges in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. The IHI plan will include this coverage effective September 1, 2012, in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act. Insurance plans will not be considered comparable to the IHI plan unless they are also in compliance with the Affordable Care Act.
- Pregnancy must be treated as any other medical condition. Coverage for maternity/pregnancy must be provided regardless of your age or gender, or the age or gender of your dependents (this is to be in compliance with federal antidiscrimination laws, specifically Title IX of Education Amendments of 1972, as amended by the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987). Insurance plans that exclude pregnancy coverage or severely limit it will not be accepted.
- Oral contraceptives must be covered at 100% of usual and customary charges in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. The IHI plan will include this coverage effective September 1, 2012, in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act. Insurance plans will not be considered comparable to the IHI plan unless they are also in compliance with the Affordable Care Act.
- The insurance plan must provide medical benefits of $500,000 or more PER accident or illness. This amount must be available for each accident or illness. For example, a plan paying up to $250,000 for accident and $250,000 for illness would not be acceptable, or a plan that has a maximum benefit of $500,000 per policy year as opposed to per issue would not be acceptable either.
- The insurance plan must cover at least 80% of usual and customary charges in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area for hospital room, board, miscellaneous hospital expenses, physician expenses in and out of the hospital, ambulance service, outpatient labs, x-rays, and diagnostic tests. The plan may not contain specific limitations for the treatment of medical conditions relative to standard hospital or outpatient care. For example, an insurance plan that has limited coverage of hospital room and board to $500 or limited coverage of ambulance costs to $350 would not be acceptable.
- The insurance plan must cover at least 90% of usual and customary charges for prescription drugs.
- The insurance plan must have a deductible of no more than $100 per accident or illness, or $150 per policy year.
- The insurance plan must cover both inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment and must cover treatment for substance abuse (both alcohol and drug abuse.) This coverage must be comparable to the coverage provided by the IHI Plan. The IHI plan covers 100% of in-network charges for inpatient mental health treatment after a $150 co-pay per admission, and covers outpatient mental health treatment with a co-pay of $20 per visit (in network) or 80% of the recognized charge (not in network).
- The insurance plan must not contain major differences in coverage between the primary insured and dependents.
- The insurance plan must cover treatment related to suicide or attempted suicide.
- There must be a U.S. phone number for the insurance claims agent.
- The plan must have a "medical evacuation to home country" benefit of at least $50,000 and a "repatriation of remains" benefit of at least $25,000.
- NOTE: If your plan meets all other requirements, you may purchase medical evacuation/repatriation coverage from the University of Michigan for $7.00 per person per policy year (September 1 through August 31). The Supplemental Repatriation and Medical Evacuation Insurance Enrollment Form can be filled out online.
If your insurance meets the requirements above and you can provide proof of this (such as your insurance plan's brochure), you can complete and submit a Health Insurance Waiver Request Form. If you are in Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT), use the OPT Waiver Form. You can submit forms with supporting documents in person at the U-M International Center Health Insurance Office or email them to email@example.com. Please remember the insurance waiver requests cannot have a start date earlier than 30 days before the date you submit the form.
Special Note for Canadian Students: Health coverage provided by your Canadian province (OHIP, etc.) is not acceptable as a substitute for the U-M International Student/Scholar Health Insurance Plan because it does not pay for the actual U.S. costs of health care. Please refer to Health Insurance Information for Canadian Students and Scholars for more details.

As Bronson Burgoon sized up his second shot on the 18th hole at Inverness Club, he was smiling.
The fact the Texas A&M senior had lost his last four holes to Arkansas opponent Andrew Landry - that was no joke. But he couldn't help but laugh at the words of assistant coach Jonathan Dismuke, who was trying to loosen him up as he prepared to hit out of the rough.
"[He said], 'You're an idiot for bogeying your last four holes, so let's do something special right here,'•" Burgoon said. "In a nice way."
Burgoon took the words seriously. He hit a gap wedge 125 yards to within three inches of the hole, all but assuring the Aggies their first national championship. When Landry missed a 35-foot putt, it was official. Texas A&M beat the Razorbacks three matches to two.
"Bronson talked to me about it earlier this week that he wanted to be on 18 with a chance to win the national championship coming up the last fairway," Texas A&M coach J.T. Higgins said. "That's all I said to him on 18. I wouldn't rather have anybody else playing this hole than you right now, even after losing four straight. I knew he was a clutch performer."
The final day at Inverness had about 500 fans in attendance. They got to see the NCAA's new championship format play out to perfection.
When the day began, it appeared at first that A&M, ranked 14th in the Golfweek rankings, would run away with the championship match. Aggies Andrea Pavan, John Hurley, and Matt Van Zandt were all up at least two strokes after four holes. Pavan won his match 7 and 6, and Hurley won 6 and 4.
But the Razorbacks hung tough, with the fourth and fifth players Jason
Cuthbertson and Jamie Marshall winning for the third time in match play. With six holes remaining, it was evident Burgoon and Landry's match would be the deciding one.
Burgoon took a four-shot lead on the 13th when Landry bogeyed. That was when things began unraveling for Burgoon - and when Landry got into a zone.
Burgoon, a native of The Woodlands, Texas, and the 13th-ranked player in the country, bogeyed hole No. 14, and Landry made par. Landry birdied 15, hitting fairway after fairway and greens in regulation.
"I just knew I had to dig down a little bit to come back," Landry said. "I felt I could get this whole match back to square, and I did."
Burgoon seemed to be self-destructing, bogeying holes 16 and 17 to slip back to all square with Landry. Said Higgins: "He was pressing a little bit. He was trying to close it out early. The next thing you know, the momentum had shifted."
Off the 18th tee, Landry hit yet another fairway, and Burgoon was off to the right in the rough. Landry's second shot landed short on the edge of the green.
"After the tee shot on 18 when we were in the fairway and he was in the rough, I really thought we were going to win," Arkansas coach Brad McMakin said.
Burgoon was finally able to calm his emotions down, thanks to his coach's joking. He hit the ball in the middle of the green, and it rolled right next to the hole.
"I kept figuring that by the last one, Bronson was going to win one of them," Higgins said. "He saved the best for last. What can you say, that was fantastic."
A&M finished tied for seventh in stroke play and defeated Arizona State and Michigan earlier in match play. After the awards ceremony, Van Zandt ran behind the scoreboard, captured the A&M flag, and planted it in the 18th cup.
"Bronson has wanted this situation, and I'm so proud that he got to live it out and prove to himself that he has what it takes," Van Zandt said. "It's storybook. It feels great."

text: Both Titans head coach Mike Munchak and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains singled out the team's wide receiver corps for praise as the OTA sessions drew to a close. On Tuesday, Loggains praised the precision of the group. "As far as mental busts, the one thing I was really impressed with was this year, the receiver group has probably had fewer mental mistakes than probably the rest of the group outside the quarterbacks, and that's the first time that's happened here since I've been here in eight years," Loggains said. "I think it's a standard we set. I think it's a standard (new receivers coach Shawn Jefferson) set. These guys are like our fans. They're tired of losing. They want to win. They want to go to the playoffs." On Wednesday, Munchak took things even further. "The receiving group has been fun to watch, the way they're working in the run game and the pass game," Munchak said. "We've drafted guys at that position the last few years and there's great competition and camaraderie there. "I think it was fun seeing Kenny (Britt) healthy and not having questions every day about his health, and seeing (Kendall Wright) lose 15 pounds and running out here like a guy who's going to break a lot of runs next year. Nate Washington has had the best camp he's had since he's been here. He's been a leader. He's been everything you could ask for. "You've got some guys who could make plays. So we're excited. It's fun to watch them. They compete against each other and they push each other. I just think it's going to be a fun group to watch." Share on Facebook Posted In: Team News Source: Titans Insider

First-generation American scholars recognized by Senator O'Brien
ALBANY, N.Y. – Today, Senator Ted O'Brien honored three Rochester School of the Arts students that are both first-generation Americans and members of the first generation of their families to receive a higher education. They are Mawia Elawad, whose family is Sudanese and will attend Alfred University this fall, Junwan Ge, whose family is Chinese and will be attending the University at Buffalo and Yuliya Otchych, whose family is Ukrainian and will be attending SUNY Oswego.
Senator O'Brien brought the students to Albany, introduced them on the floor of the Senate and presented each of them with a resolution honoring their accomplishment.
"America was built by those who came to our shores in search of new opportunities and a brighter future for their families," Senator O'Brien said. "These impressive young people, by making the most of their educationand striving to become contributing members of our society, truly embody what the American Dream is all about."
All three are naturalized American citizens and residents of the Keeler Park Apartments in the Group 14621 neighborhood of Rochester, N.Y., who came to Senator O'Brien's attention following a residents' association meeting he attended there earlier this year.
"I wish Mawia, Junwan and Yuliya the best of luck at school this fall," Senator O'Brien said. "I know that they will make our community proud and continue to represent the Rochester area with distinction."
Sen. O'Brien represents the 55th district in the Senate, which is made up of the eastern half of Monroe County and the western half of Ontario County, including much of the city of Rochester.

New landmark in Indian golf
April 07, 2005 20:33 IST
On yet another day dominated by under par scores at the DDA Open Golf Championship 2005, Kolkata's Rafique Ali led the field with a total of 15 under 125 after 36 holes.
The event, which forms the 18th leg of the Amby Valley PGAI Tour is being played at the par-70, Qutab Golf Course, the first and the only public golf course in the country.
The day was witness to a new landmark being created in Indian golf as an under-par cut was applied for the first time ever on the Indian Tour.
Trailing Rafique by a stroke was city-mate Yusuf Ali and Bangalore pro C. Muniyappa who submitted identical cards of six under 64 to tally 14 under 126 at the end of the second day's play. Current money list leader on the Amby Valley PGAI Tour 2004-05 Mukesh Kumar, along with Ashok Kumar and amateur Vikrant Chopra, was tied for third spot with a score of 12 under 128.
Rafique Ali, who claimed the Patna Open title earlier this season, is all set to take home his second winner's cheque as it is evident with the form he is currently playing in. Today he submitted a card of six under 64 after firing a 61 in the first round.
He made birdies on the third, seventh, eighth, 11th, 15th, and 18th holes along with a bogey on the 14th.
"I putted really badly today. I missed an eagle on the 11th hole and a two-foot putt on the 16th hole, which affected my score for the day," said the Kolkata pro.
"The course is playing well but the wind is causing a little difficulty," added the 36-year old.
A total of 60 golfers including three amateurs have qualified for the third round as the cut was applied at two under 138. Among the big names to miss the cut were Chandigarh-based pros Ranjit Singh and Randhir Singh Gothra along with Rohtas Singh and Bangalore-based pro Rahul Ganapathy.
Asian Tour regular Gaurav Ghei withdrew from the tournament due to personal reasons. Meanwhile Vikrant Chopra maintained his lead amongst amateurs as he finished his 36 holes with a score of 12 under 128.
Top Scores (After 36 Holes): 125_RafickAli (61,64);126_C. Muniyappa (62,64), Yusuf Ali (62,64); 128_Mukesh Kumar (64,64), Vikrant Chopra(A) (64,64), Ashok Kumar (63,65); 129_PS Guleria (66,63), Vishal Singh (65,64); 130_SSPChaurasia (65,65); 131_Naman Dawar (67,64), Rajiv Niranjan (66,65).

Keisha Scarville
Since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated by the image of the bride. I would wrap myself in white cloth and drape it from my head, pretending I was getting married. I no more understood marriage, than I did my own body. Though the idea of marriage was an anomaly to me, I was beguiled and aspired to become a bride myself one day.
The bride is an iconic figure often appearing in various myths, fairy tales, religious texts, and popular culture. Everyday we are inundated with publications, magazines articles, and television programs devoted not only to achieving the perfect wedding, but more importantly, how a woman can become the ideal bride. Marriage is viewed by many societies as a significant rite of passage, marking one of life's major stages. It is through the marriage ceremony that a bride performs her identity, affirming her role as keeper of cultural customs, as well as constructing a new vision of who she is. She embodies the values of a culture, but also becomes a representation of female transformation. It is this very conversion I seek to examine in my photographs. This series is my exploration of the female body in respect to marital ceremonies and rituals. The women I photograph take on the role of a "bride". I attempt to re-create those transformative moments through open-ended narratives using the bride as a metaphor.

Professional – and sometimes recreational – sports are rough. In hockey specifically, concussions happen far too often. In order to address the issue, Reebok-CCM Hockey and startup MC10 have teamed up to develop a new skullcap that can be worn under any helmet.
The skullcap uses sensors to detect the severity of any given blow. While it can't protect athletes from receiving a head injury, it can measure the impact and let a player know if it's safe to resume playing or whether medical treatment is necessary.
The cap has been designed for all athletes regardless of skill level or age and will be available next year.

Lady of Guiana
by Antonis Silva (written many many years ago and dedicated to Cde. Janet Jagan)
Lady of Guiana
You nursed us like a child
and guarded our growth
From a speck of light
To a living Flame.
In the darkest days of our struggle
Your people stood side by side
To forge a mighty Guiana
Out of our city of slaves.
Now a serpent has found a place
In the hearts of our people
Licking his tongue of treachery
Silent and unknown.
In the midst of our lambs
The Sheperd of corruption
Streaches their hands
For thirty pieces of Silver.
Now our people become strange in many ways
Not like the flesh of our flesh
But like a plague of sorrow
That thrives only for a while.
Forgive this spark of ingratitude
For they that worship Cowards
Will some day wake out of their slumber of deceit
Like an angry tide of regret
Flowing with the mighty current of Freedom.

Blue -Eyed Bhowgie
by Peter Jailall (From "This Healing Place and other Poems")
The real Bhowgie
Is the blue-eyed Bhowgie
Who came from America
To join the struggle
With the comrades
At Freedom House
The real Bhowgie
Is the blue-eyed Bhowgie
Who walks down canal dam
Hand-in hand with the people
Asking them
"A wa a yu a du gal?
The real Bhowgie
Is the blue-eyed Bhowgie
Who taught women
About exploitation
And sexism
Long before women's lib
The real Bhowgie
Is now the First Lady.

Comrade Janet
by unknown author - Member of WPO (Women's Progressive Organisation)
Dear Comrade Janet!
Daughter of all America,
Mother and Sister of its citizens,
Bouquets bloom for you
in the hearts of the liberated and oppressed.
Dear Comrade Janet!
'Tis twenty-five years;
Yet you gallantly fetch the torch of struggle.
Your virtues glitter across the Caribbean
inspiring and enthusing our dark off-springs.
Dear Comrade Janet!
Cowardice is alien in your existence:
Your presence radiates confidence in us.
You're the ideal woman:
You're the pride of International Women's Year.
Dear Comrade Janet!
The W.P.O. salutes you -
indefatigable, immortal leader and fighter.
The cries of Hurah! Hurah!
echo from Roraima to Corentyne,
filled with affection and admiration
for the most outstanding Guyanese woman.
For Janet - A True Heroine of Guyana
by Krishna Rampersaud
For over fifty long years you stood hand in hand
When you both made a patriotic vow to defend our motherland.
We did not know then, how prophetic those words will be
When you swore to all of us that youre now a Guyanese.
For over fifty glorious years you stood behind the man
Who made a promise to the people to take back our native land
From the colonial masters who with greed and might..
Trampled on our dignity and did not expect us to fight.
And like the flame you lit inside his heart with love
Proceed to show your mettle and your own true worth.
Youve come a long way since those eventful days
When you stood up for love of freedom in many ways.
The trials and tribulations you faced, did not daunt your grace
As you steadfastly stood beside the one in whom you put your faith.
Marches, processions and peaceful demonstrations all lead you to jail
But somehow through it all with his support, your will and strength prevail.
You never gave up although they tried to bend you to their will
Instead suffered for all of us and for that we love you still.
The faith and love of family can take one through hell and back
And with yours behind you, you never looked back.
Through all the hard times and grief and the turmoil in our land
You never turned your back on us but continued the struggle in your stand..
For Peace, Progress and Prosperity
That Cheddi and Janet brought to our dear and native land.
Now that your partner in life is no more there with you,
There is a sense of satisfaction that his imprint on our history is linked with you.
For it was with you beside him that made all our dreams so real
As you continue to champion our cause with charm, dedication and zeal.
© Krishna Rampersaud
Long Live our Comrade Janet
by Navin Chandarpal
JJ came and graced our motherland
Helping Cheddi form the People's Band
To free Guyana she gave her all
Fighting firm and standing tall
She opened up some brand new worlds
For our Women and our Girls
She showed Education as a power tool
And encouraged sending Girls to school
She battled strong to give Women
Their rightful place beside the Men
She sided with the Poor and Weak
Equality for All she would always seek
She worked each day our Party to build
She was forceful and strong willed
She scolded when you did things wrong
She wanted the Party to be very strong
She showed great courage in the fight
To counter evil and do what's right
Across the world she's honoured well
As a Leading Female Rebel
Private Citizen ? – not at all
Public Duty was her call
Her heroic deeds we can't forget
Long live our Comrade Janet

Janet Jagan - A Woman of Substance
by Sandra Ann Baptiste
An American from Chicago was born
it was Guyana that she devoted her life to reform
The backbone, stalwart and matriarch of the PPP
she devoted her life to Cheddi and bringing Guyana prosperity
Her political journey was laced with hardships, the worse being in a cell
perseverance, grit and fortitude saw her through this trying spell
A champion for educating girls and pressing for women's rights
the poor like domestics and cane cutters, Janet rescued from their plights
In the struggle for independence and end to dictatorship she was at the forefront an indelible mark she left as one of those who bore the brunt
Janet fought for democracy and spreading the country's wealth
she's still regarded by many as Guyana's best ever Minister of Health
Steadfast in her beliefs, calling a spade a spade was her trait
she minced no words when it came to a debate
Janet dwelled not on church and religion
but morals, integrity and justice were hallmarks of her dominion
A veteran journalist, J.J. used her pen to expose oppression
fearless and like a battle axe, she was a tough cookie in opposition
Her ascension to the Presidency was the first the Caribbean had seen
but opposing forces vulgarly tried to crush her dream
A humble person from her early beginnings
even as Her Excellency, she shunned the trimmings
A kind and loving mother and grandmother, Janet treated her kin like gold
she also made time to listen to everyone's woes - both young and old
She helped lure me back to set up Go-Invest
her continued support aided me to give of my best
An inspiration to Guyanese from all walks of life, she was never a quitter
the woman with the common touch had no time to be bitter
A political icon, Guyana and its people have undoubtedly lost
never forget the value this woman of substance brought and at what cost

Your heart was pierced
by the arrow of compassion
bidding your time
in your northern clime
young and green as you were
Brows knitted in a sight
of reckless torture
decapitation and innocent death…….
bludgeoned by the blades of history
…….craze and mania for Empires
tangling the web in your feet
sleep tossed by broken bodies
stench of blood…
draining your own blood
And your breath of compassion
was stamped with a noble vision
as you flung your country aside
and with Cheddi in your stride
flew to this mutilated captive land
lure for plunder and auction
lascivious bidders weaving a tapestry
of evening lechery
cries of slaves and immigrants
sugared the wine of their surfeit
incest and greed
clouding their offspring' feet….
With Cheddi in your stride
Enmore '48 was the auspicious tide
that powered your raft
the shaft of light……
drawing in your fold
disenfranchised faces
ruptured laces deflowered
by ruthless carnivores
on beds of sugarcanes ….
You kneaded moulded, planting
a hope of bridges….
bridges of creeks and rivers
stepping with your disenfranchised
the dispossessed
into a realm of filled bellies
land cropped at its brim
in which rightful dignity
social equality
are euphoric metaphors
lulled in their dreams
Sturdy in fortitude.
swift as a panther
with your padres alongside
banners draped high in red
you kept marching
squatting knocking,
knocking by the gates of freedom:
'equality for one and all….'
acts of brutality
bullets and bars
brewed in the pit of your stomach
Governor's rod atop your head
but relentlessly you persisted in your vision
pounding shaking, shattering
the stubborn gate:
gait of our own prison
And it had to open
(this gate of freedom)
but ingloriously
and not in sympathy
with your burning ideals
So with your marks imprinted here
(with Cheddi stallion in your fair)
which text in its deliberation
could dare say your steeps
are not ennobled
calligraphed in stones:
stanchion that shapes
the conscience
of this Nation

Lady Janet
by Stephanie Bowry
We first met
Lady Janet and me
Face to face
On a night of poetry.
I read.
She listened
And said to me
"I really like your poetry."
She thought I was wonderful.
I thought she was kind.
I left Hotel Tower
With nice thoughts in my mind.
And between nights of poetry
Our thoughts
Mine and the Lady's
Communicated silently.
And on every night of poetry
My verse celebrated her company.
For she was a Jewel as in J
Definitely Admirable as in A
Altogether Noble as in N
Positively Enriching as in E and
Sweetly Thoughtful as inT.
But she had labored sufficiently
Had done her tasks efficiently
And God rewarded her Eternity.
Now she sits with the stars of the Galaxy
While Angels read their poetry.

You too
have suckled your young
exuding warmth of tenderness
a changing of diapers ….
the kisses the lullabies
your soft morning shadow casting
a glow of affection –
beggars stalking the streets for crumbs
You have steered your kitchen deftly
swept floors and cupboards
fingers entwined in medley
of dishes, tea brewing on the stove
blinds and bedsheets
tucked by your soft touch
pillow of hope showered
with abiding love:
the tower of dreams ……
And like your restless disempowered sister
you too have squelched in mud
grime and soot
ate with your hands
fingers licked in relish,
patiently counting the pennies
stretched into an artifice
of filled bellies
a change of garments –
that leak in the roof
you too have nursed your husband
magnified his dreams –
a roost on which to ease
his tired limbs
shuffling with the children's lessons
their change of gears
the evening homework ….
Indeed you have tightened
your belly
quelled sensual needs
ploughing scrace dollars
in kiths and kins
whose professions are stained
with the angle of your presence
You have graced ceremonies:
temples mosques chapels…
a conspicuous sight
in social gatherings
arms outstretched in its bid
for counseling, consolation
'to the poor and needy:
breathing foul air,
the germ of logies and tenements
spanning wards and cemetries
graying head thrown black
in your armchair by the library
fingers twiddling with pen
and paper plotting another story,
have you ever regretted
the course…..
the twists and painful turns
your life had taken
wishing it were full of simplicities:
a domesticated mother
proud of her daily chores
future of her children ……

'…………..You must carry on ….'
through shocking and quite unprepared
for the Herculean task ahead
body weakened by the trials
for Democracy
crushing grief for a loved one
you retrieved your ailing spirit
surveyed the domain
and in your hours of deliberation
(the words sizzling
hastening propelling)
you summoned your padres
seeking counsel
'yes' you must carry on ….'
they urged wisely round the table,
your charisma and noble sacrifices ….
the light shown to them,
were scissors of leadership
guiding the finality in their choice
But in the stable of your mind
the rigorous task was contemplated
though groomed you were
for such demanding roles;
the toll of hours
round of engagements
the burden of a country
But the goodwill of your people,
pricking the mainspring
in your conscience,
drove you to the challenge
Yes 'you must carry on…'
for how could you scoff
from your thrusted duty
mandated by an electorate
who trusted implicity in
your ability
(to carry on…)
govern the Nation
But roaches, sired in vanities
their selfish ambitions at stake,
flouted the rules of electoral legitimacy
and in their bent to make you ungovernable
sowed seeds of strife and disorder
parading the streets as good shepherds,
their flocks led into bursts
of rampage and loot…
terror struck in the hearts
of the innocent……
Only you and your pardres knew
the agony, nightly agues
(painful reminder of a loved one )
thwarting your sincere thrust
for Peace by other realms
who knew you were
the duly elected head:
strength and hope of your people
and you have persevere
as Roaches, curled in pits of disdain
sunting in dens and alleyways,
hatched acts of mischief
the beast of cunning in their claws…..
and in your quest for growth
national cohesion
you had to sign accords
displaying your true humanity
You didn't have to but
you relinquished
citing health and the need for young blood, one with
youth and enduring vitality
so the nation could be steered
on a level course
No one could say
your dispensation
was not the continuation
of democracy
your name carved in the annals
of our texts and elsewhere…
But in the confines
of your mind
only you know the ordeals
the mammoth sacrifice……

The download site [1] still mentions 0.10.1 and the maven repo [2] also seems to only hold 0.10.1. However I read on the mail list that 0.11.3 was released and releasing maven artifacts were also planned [3]. So are the maven artifacts for 0.11.x in a different maven repo or are they not available? Thanks.
