So Red Bull are sticking with the strategy of partnering their high-maintenance Number One with a laid back Australian in the number two car. Last night — when the whole F1 world was at the Rush premiere — they formally announced what we already knew, that in 2014 Daniel Ricciardo will get behind the wheel of what will probably again be the best car on the grid. Well done Daniel, you seem like a thoroughly decent fella.
It's taken a while — and a whole bunch of driver fails — for Red Bull's Driver Academy to throw up a successor to Sebastian Vettel. That might suggest there was possibly some internal pressure to promote Ricciardo. After success in F3 and Formula Renault he was astonishing at his first Young Driver test but in the Toro Rosso he's been, erm… okay? Some fine qualifying runs but no red letter races and his points finishing has been less impressive than team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne. I've always maintained racing's real superstars let you know very early on just what they've got and I am not sure Ricciardo has. Not in F1 anyhow. Then again maybe that's another downside of the current state of F1. Messrs Horner and Newey do seem to know what they're doing after all.
Vettel is said to be very happy that Ricciardo has the drive, which would tend to suggest he was less happy at the prospect of Raikkonen, who was even less likely to kowtow than Webber. So where does Kimi go now? It's either Ferrari or stay at Lotus. Lotus are of course telling anyone who will listen than Kimi just needs to be reassured that next year's Lotus will deliver wins. But there's more to it than that. I'm pretty certain even Kimi has been surprised how competitive his comeback has been, considering he was decidedly average in his last seasons at Ferrari before the gap year shenanigans. If indeed negotiations are ongoing with Ferrari, I suspect it has more to do with establishing guaranteed parity with Alonso.
Either way, it's impossible to imagine Felipe Massa in a single-seater Ferrari next year, even if he was to be heroic at Monza this weekend. So if Kimi stays at Lotus, who will race alongside Alonso? Nico Hulkenberg has to be in the frame. Indeed many suggest he absolutely is, hence the slightly odd switch to Sauber from Force India on a one year contract. Hulkenberg has of course shown us the right stuff in both his rookie year at Williams and his one and only year in the Force India.
Finally, there is of course a seat at Toro Rosso. And though the team has said Jean Eric Vergne will stay, knowing how ruthlessly it's treated its drivers there may be two seats. After all, if Vergne is not good enough to make the A-Team, then why should he be allowed to block the seat from someone who might make the grade? Red Bull player Antonio Felix da Costa is the obvious choice, but Felipe Nasr and Carlos Sainz Jnr will all be on the phone this morning.

Abstracted Visions
- Artist: Bella Lune
- Genre: Electronic
- Release Date: 5/8/2008
'Imagine if Cranes and The Cure met in a dark alley... Abstracted Visions will appeal to fans of both bands as well as Cocteau Twins and Curve. -- Auralgasms.com' 'On their debut album, Bella Lune draws influences from many of darkwave and coldwave's luminaries delivering a record that will appeal to fans of Collide, and Switchblade Symphony. The final product 'Abstracted Visions' is a fusion of modern trip-hop electro and post-shoegaze sensibility, interlacing slinky vocals and catchy synth lines, resulting in an engrossing listen that simulates the feeling of flowing through water. -- Musicfolio.com' Fuchsia began playing instruments and writing poetry at a very early age. She started her musical career as the vocalist in the band Annadyne, in 2002. After Annadyne broke up in 2005, she began writing guitar-based songs on her own. She met Kal3id in October of 2005, and formed the concept for Bella Lune shortly thereafter. Kal3id provided additional arrangement and instrumentation for the first album, and helped Fuchsia to mix, produce, and master the songs. Bella Lune released the album 'Abstracted Visions' as a digital download on October 31, 2007. The CD became available in print on March 31, 2008. Since the initial release of the CD, Bella Lune recruited Hurley to play synth bass for the live show. They played their first official live gig, opening for The Strand, on April 13th 2008... Right now, Bella Lune is focused on recording the second studio album, and have plans for the release in 2009... More live shows to come...

This was an interesting concept. John really should learn not to sit in any more chairs though!!! I liked the fact that John was able to make Kellan realise that it would be wrong to force him to leave Atlantis. The ending was nice too- it showed the bond between the team without getting too sappy. Laura.

very interesting idea. I liked it. At first I wasn't so sure, but in the end I thought it was a very clever idea. Good job. Keep it up.
That was sweet. :-)

Detroit Shooting, Gunfire broke out Wednesday evening at a Detroit barbershop known for gambling activity, leaving at least two men dead, police say.
The shootings happened about 6 p.m. at Al's Barber Shop, said police spokeswoman Kelly Miner. She said nine men were shot and two of them were confirmed dead.
Details were sketchy because police were still investigating what happened, and it wasn't yet clear how many people opened fire.
Police Chief James Craig told reporters at the scene that "suspects engaged a couple of victims" before "several shots were fired." He said it's not known if any of the victims fired back.
Miner said two cars pulled up outside the barbershop and people in the vehicles exchanged gunfire with each other.
"Somehow someone shot into the building, and that's when people rushed out of the building and were running into other area businesses for cover," she said.
Both of the dead men were inside the barbershop, she said.
Lorne Carter told the Detroit Free Press that he was smoking a cigarette against the wall of a nearby business when he heard what sounded like 30 to 40 shots.
"It sounded rapid," Carter said.
Police used yellow crime tape to cordon off several blocks around the shooting scene. A frantic Elaine Williams waited behind the tape to learn the fate of her 29-year-old son, who had gone to the barbershop for a haircut, The Detroit News reported.
"Help me find my son," she cried.
The barbershop is in a strip mall along a major road on the city's east side. Nearby businesses include a Chinese restaurant, auto repair shops and a convenience store.
Craig said Al's is a known illegal gambling spot.

Yes, very much so
Yes I am very much so. And it seems you are too. To know God is wonderful.
Yes. But it still sucks sometimes.
Every day I wake up knowing God has blessed me with one more day.
yes<br />
within me anytime everytime
How do you know it's god and not just you?
Phuleeeaze! open the door...and EXIT
Thank you for sharing that blessedenough! It's very true!
Well, I could, it's easy to mistake joy with the belief in some cosmic benevolence, but then I see people going through excruciating pain, I'm not so self-conceited and naive as to think I deserve a god's favour.
good girl.
NO! I actually Feel a lot of UN-Cooperation lately. If this is God, then I don't like (IT)
no, i don't have any reason to believe there is such an entity, but in a way i kind of envy those who do
Absolutely. Though he punishes me in ways that I know it is him, when I mess up, I have also experienced great protection.
Not even slightly
Sorry, not a bit interested in the talking snake/magic apple superstition.
Actually, it's not okay. Million of humans have suffered unspeakable horrors in the name of religion. It's a diseased death cult based upon the musings of idiots and mad men who heard voices.
Yes..and ALLAH help me pls...
Yes, you ever have that feeling that someone is stepping on you and it's crushing you!
Yes, i understand, but what if, what happen to you is tearing into the very essence of your faith because it was so entangled with what happen to you?
I know it's hard to understand what I'm talking about..but thanks
thanks.God blesses everyone and we have to feel this.
not when i needed him
I'm no theist if that's what you're asking. I do feel energies though, I'm just not going to pin a god to anything regarding that.
Every second

ALBANY – The University at Albany women's basketball team will be traveling far for their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division I Tournament.
The Danes found out Monday that they would be playing defending national champion Texas A&M in the Raleigh Region. UAlbany (23-9) is the 14th seed; Texas A&M (22-10) is the third seed. Last year, the Aggies won the NCAA title. The Texas A&M-UAlbany game is scheduled be played Saturday night at 6:30 (EST) at Reed Arena, in College Station, Texas A&M's homecourt.
Texas A&M is coming off a 73-50 loss to undefeated Baylor in the Big 12 championship game.
The Danes met as a team in the Hall of Fame room at SEFCU Arena to watch the hour-long selection show on ESPN. When the announcement came, the UAlbany players leaped from their chairs in front of the big screen TV and had a group hug while yelling and screaming.
UAlbany coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson stood off to the side, and took it all in. She had a smile on her face as she watched the celebration.
"This is cool, it's crazy," said junior guard Lindsey Lowrie. "We thought we were going to be playing in Maryland. We're glad we're going to Texas. We're all very excited."
Abrahamson-Henderson thought the Danes could get seeded this low. The best ever seed for an America East team came in 1993 when Vermont was a No. 8 seed. In 2010, Hartford and Vermont both made the NCAA Tournament and both were No. 10 seeds.
Since 1992, the America East has won three tournament games, all of them upsets. No. 10 Maine beat No. 7 Stanford 60-58; No. 11 Hartford beat No. 6 Temple 64-58in 2006; No. 11 Hartford upset No. 7 Syracuse 59-55 in 2008 and No. 10 Vermont beat No. 7 Wisconsin 64-55 in 2010.

6.8.1 Flags
Large Flags
Senators and Members have an entitlement, within the limit of their office budget, to distribute certain large flags as described below to the following eligible recipients:
- schools, local councils, churches and other non-profit or benevolent community organisations, associations and groups which have occasion to display the flag from flag poles on their premises, or which display the flag on special public occasions, or in halls or meeting rooms
- community organisations, Australian exchange students and humanitarian aid workers undertaking official visits or duties overseas
- a family member, or an ex-service organisation representative, for use at the funeral of an Australian war veteran.
Flags may not be made available under this program to businesses or commercial enterprises.
There is no limit, other than the extent of the office budget, on the number of Australian National Flags, Aboriginal Flags and Torres Strait Islander Flags that can be purchased for presentation to the eligible recipients listed above.
The entitlement to large flags is not a separate or additional budget to the office budget. Accounts will only be paid to the limit of the office budget. Senators and Members should note that while there is no limit on the purchase of large flags, other than the limit of the office budget, a maximum of 50 large flags per financial year (no larger than 1,370 mm x 685 mm) may be presented to private individuals.1
Large Flag Types and Sizes
The National Flag, the Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag are available for presentation, to eligible recipients in the following sizes:
- 1,370 mm x 685 mm
- 1,830 mm x 915 mm
- 2,400 mm x 1,200 mm
- 3,660 mm x 1,830 mm.
The Red Ensign (1,370 mm x 685 mm and 1,830 mm x 915 mm) is also available for presentation to service-related groups.
The Royal Australian Air Force Ensign and the Australian White Ensign are not included in this entitlement. The Australian Government has no obligations in respect of payment for orders by Senators and Members for the Royal Australian Air Force Ensign or the Australian White Ensign.
Where a special case exists for a flag of non-standard size or of more durable material to be ordered, a Senator or Member should consult their Entitlements Manager.
Desktop and Hand-waver Flags for Presentation to Constituents
In addition to the above entitlement to distribute large flags, Senators and Members have an entitlement, within the limit of their office budget, to distribute desktop and hand-waver flags to schools, local councils, churches and other non-profit or benevolent community organisations, associations and groups which have occasion to display the flag, and to private individuals.2
Orders for Flags
Orders for flags must be made using the OrderMax online tool. Senators and Members may choose to maintain a reasonable stock of large flags in their electorate office.
It is expected that there will be an element of formality in the act and/or ceremony attached to the manner in which large flags are presented and that the presentation is made directly by the Senator or Member to the recipient. Large flags should not be distributed more generally. For example, large flags should not be included in general information packages to constituents.
Flag Expenditure
Senators and Members are encouraged to check the accuracy of any flag-related expenditure in their monthly management report, each month as it is received, to ensure that the entitlement has been used appropriately and that no more than 50 large flags per annum have been presented to private individuals (excluding flags provided for use at the funeral of an Australian war veteran).
6.8.2 The Chamber Flag Program
Members are also able to obtain a flag, which has been hung in the Chamber on a sitting day, with an accompanying certificate. One flag may be obtained by each Member each calendar year on application to the Serjeant-At-Arms. Additional Chamber flags may be obtained subject to availability and at the discretion of the Serjeant-at-Arms.
This facility is part of the CRP and presentation of these flags is subject to the same requirements and limitations as the presentation of other flags under the CRP including the cap on presentation to private individuals.3
6.8.3 Display of Flags at Electorate and Ministerial Offices
Please see section 3.1.12 for information regarding the display of flags both inside and outside electorate and Ministerial offices.
- View Part Three: Accommodation and Office Facilities - 3.1.12 Flagpoles and Australian National Flags

Season 2011-12
The Mail Bag
What does Moyes think?
So, the window closes and our squad is changed. Our fastest striker, and that isn't saying much, and our most creative player have gone. Is this part of the coach's plan? What does he know about the two new lads? Has he watched them and thought, "Yeah, they are exactly what I need to take us forward"?
It seems to me that Moyes is irrelevant as far as any future planning goes. He has been hung out to dry once more and if he wasn't over-paid and over-rated I'd feel sorry for him.
I look forward to seeing the new players, I hope they are inspired signings, I find it hard to believe that Moyes played any part in our transfer dealings. What I find harder to believe is his acceptance of his treatment. Sorry, I forgot about his salary.

The players brought in did seem to smack of getting bodies in, certainly no links to them beforehand, and myself had not heard of either of them.
No matter what the circumstances of their arrival, we now seem to have a team better suited to 4-5-1. Pace on both flanks, giant striker up top and two holding midfielders, with Barkley or Cahill supporting the lone striker.
Really hope things turn out okay...

Sounds a lot like what was written after the Fellaini signing.

5 Posted 03/09/2011 at 08:55:43
Having been at the club for so long he will know all about our great history and our passionate supporters and as a result he will feel Everton is the only place to be.
I really hope the new guys work out, Drenthe has been playing in the best league in the world-but did he cut the mustard? I don't think so! I watch a lot of Spanish football and quite frankly Drenthe was dreadful! Hopefully against the lumbering defenders in England he will realise the great potential he had before he went to Spain.
As for Denis we don't know. I love Argentinian footballers and anyone who scores three against Boca Juniors can't be that bad, so he should prove to be a good signing.
Sad to see Arteta go, he was the epitome of the Everton I grew up with in the '60's top class!
Everton always!
6 Posted 03/09/2011 at 10:12:59
I want Moyes to say he sanctioned the arteta sale and he will sort us out in his absence. He is the one paid 65k a week to lead, so start showing us some bloody leadership and stop sulking like my 5 year old.
Why not use the opportunity to create a siege mentality around the place. It's us (paupers) against the rest (millionaires) and we will not be moved.
This is the biggest test for you Mr Moyes and I want to see what you are made of.
7 Posted 03/09/2011 at 10:13:09
I would also like to wish Mikel the best of luck at Arsenal. A great player and a true professional. I think we were lucky to have him for 6 years, and we definately have his loyalty to thank for that. I hope he goes out and shows he has the talent to produce in the Champions League.

9 Posted 03/09/2011 at 11:52:24
He is part of the problem...during his reign....Middlesborough and Fulham have reached the UEFA Final which Moyes has never got anywhere near....Fulham doing it from a far harder group than ANY we have been involved in.
Stoke, Millwall and Cardiff have reached the FA CUP Final and Birmingham and Portsmouth have actually won trophies...Portsmouth beating Man Utd at OLD TRAFFORD...something that Moyes has NEVER done.
In nearly 10 years Moyes has reached a semi-final and final and 'bottled them both' as he did in the !st leg at Fiorentina....In his whole Managerial career including his time at Preston he has won pecisely NOTHING...Please can someone explain how this makes him a good manager....PLEASE !!
10 Posted 03/09/2011 at 12:12:28
You cant go out and look to contain and not concede and look to defend what you've got from the off and not show enough ambition to win the game, you just cant!.
But what he as done for us is a very good job to have us challenging for European spots more often than not but that doesnt mean im 100% happy about the way he goes about games and his stubborness to stick to 4-5-1 and the way we play the game cos im not, i'd like to see some variation and an openess and freedom to our play sometimes.
And back to topic, i dont for one second believe Moyesy didnt know about the transfer dealings on deadline day. Moyes only said a couple of weeks ago that someone could possibly be sold to appease the banks and that none of the money could quite possibly not be re-invested in the squad, it could all go to the banks. And Kenwright said in that interview with the blue union that Howard, Baines, Jags and Felli would definitely NOT be sold, so everyone else had a price and it was Arteta to go, and after Arteta made it clear he wanted to go to be able to play champions league footy, Moyesy had no choice.
And with regards to the new boys, we have been linked to Drenthe in the past and Stracqualursi is an unknown but apparently we had him watched eariler on in the year and Moyes did say at the beginning of pre-season not to believe the tabloids cos the players we'd be linked to would possibly not be the players we'd be after and you could say that the new boys prove his point.
Drenthe was a promising talent that lost his way at Real and went on loan to Herecules and did well and i think he's a good signing and if we can get him back to the form he showed previous to joining Real Madrid then we'll have a player on our hands. Evertonians were pinening for N'Zogbia this summer and this lad can turn out to be better IMO if he finds his feet and hits the ground running.
As for Stracqualursi, I dont know much about him and have only seen clips of him on youtube and he looks handy, a big strong lad thats good in the air and will suit our 1 uptop formation Moyesy favours. And im pretty sure that after Hernandez's success at Utd, alot of clubs went scouting over in South America and weve come across this lad and watched him and no doubt Moyesy as seen plenty of video's aswell and thought that Stracqualursi could be an asset to us.
I hope now that the squad and Moyesy put this summer, the transfer window and the loss of Arteta behind em and re-group and show that we are still a good side and that we can compete again in this league and i think we'll be ok this season.
11 Posted 03/09/2011 at 12:10:07
Arteta wanted out so why keep him? £10m for a player who has been very poor for last 2 years is fantastic business, regardless of the club's current situation. Those who can't agree have got the blinkers on, because he's not performed when given a place in the team.
Yes, he is a good player, and possibly with better players around him at Arsenal, will pick some form up. If he does, don't kid yourselves that he could be doing the same for us, as we don't have enough skillful players to compliment him. Exactly like Rooney, who has excelled at Utd for the same reason.
New signings: Moyes never declares interest until a signing has been done. End of. I'm sure these players have been watched for months. That's Moyes's way.
I'm not a fan of Moyes. Just wish a lot of fans take a step back and stop being negative about everything. We are where we are. Yes, it's not brilliant but let's move on and hope for better things and continue to back our team.

Having sold attackers AJ and McFadden then surely needing to 'get bodies in' we would have loaned/bought 3 or 4 players, rather than using all the money to buy a holding midfielder in Fellaini.

This is 95% likely to happen. Following the loan, 3 year contract.

Yes I know they are not the best and Beattie is certainly getting on a bit but for free and I am sure a lowish wage they could be useful back up.

Sully's Court: Big weekend for big games, starting with UMass-VCU
Games Id like to see this weekend (theres way too many good ones)
Friday (Strangely, theres some good games)
Mercer at Florida Gulf Coast: The two best teams in the Atlantic Sun, one of them likely to be in tournament. Have to see if Gulf Coast is still as entertaining as last season. Somehow I doubt it.
VCU at UMass: Great matchup of pressing, uptempo teams. Chaz Williams will win this game for the Minutemen. VCU lacks offense. If the havoc press doesnt work, theyre going to struggle.
Iona at Rider: I havent checked in on the high-flying Gaels in a while; they should win easy here and probably crack 100.
Louisville at Cincinnati: This could be the end of Rick Pitinos beard. Maybe not (he says he wont shave until his team loses again) Despite the home court I feel Louisville will assert itself in what should be a physical game (isnt it always when Cincys involved).
Wisconsin at Iowa: Third place in the Big 10 is a stake but more than that, these are two teams that will most likely play a close game. Iowa still isnt dominant at home so the Badgers have a chance.
BC at Miami: Can the good feelings continue? For Steve Donahues sake, I hope so.
Florida at Mississippi: The No.1 ranking is at stake for the Gators but this wont be easy. I imagine that Ole Miss Marshall Henderson, the unhinged one, will launch about 20 three-pointers. Whether they go in or not will decide game.
St. Johns at Villanova: The Redmen have really improved but this will be their reality check.
Texas Tech at Oklahoma State: Marcus Smart returns and the Cowboys end their losing streak.
Notre Dame at Virginia: Sullys Court favorite, the Cavaliers, will win easily at home. I just like to watch their unselfish play.
Kansas State at Oklahoma: The usual tough Big 12 matchup, minimum of one OT.
LaSalle at Richmond: The Spiders will try to get back on the bubble against a challenging opponent.
LSU at Kentucky: LSU is inconsistent; needs a great road victory. The Lexington, Ky. AAU Playaz might be rounding into a team. If they are, theyll win this easily.
UCLA at Stanford: I find the Bruins really entertaining; close to Virginia as a Sullys Court favorite. A victory here would complete a Bay Area double.
Minnesota at Ohio State: The Gophers are sinking toward the NIT; a road victory here would revive bubble talk. Its not impossible.
UTEP at Southern Mississippi: Two of the top teams in Conference USA. Slumping Southern Miss needs this to get stay in the race for first place. Plus the Eagles are home.
Ohio at Akron: A good, old-fashioned MAC matchup. Both are quality teams.
Syracuse at Duke: The Orange inexplicably lost to BC but then again theyve been asking to be upset. Duke lost at Carolina Thursday night. I cant imagine the Dookies losing this one in Cameron.
Texas at Kansas: If the Jayhawks win this home game, theyll have a three-game lead in the Big 12. Impressive especially considering how young they are. Texas has overachieved all season; love their overlooked freshman point guard Isaiah Taylor. Hes a handful off the dribble; if he could only shoot.
Drake at Wichita State: Countdown to perfection. If Ole Miss could upset Florida, the Shockers might be No. 1 next week.
George Washington at Saint Louis: A high-level A10 game but Billkens will be tough to beat at home.
San Diego State at New Mexico: Heres an upset thats bound to happen. Lobos will win in the Pit.
Bucknell at BU: The Terriers close in on Patriot League title
Michigan State at Michigan: Big 10 title up for grabs.
SMU at UConn: The Mustangs are good but theyve yet to prove themselves outside of Dallas. I dont expect them to start now.
Providence at Butler: A road win the Friars must have.
Florida State at Pitt: Pitts at home, theyll win.

Well, that didn't take long. It's no secret that the C7 Corvette is awesome in more ways than one, however, some customers seem to not be happy with the two-tone rear bumper (unless they opted for a black C7, of course). RPI Designs is now selling a painted lower rear bumper cover for the C7 for $799.95, but if you send in your original one in perfect condition, they'll send you $400 back in return.
Personal preference is ultimately what it comes down to, and it seems that there are quite a few C7 owners that think the lower rear bumper cover should be matched to the body's color. We find it pretty interesting that there are so many mixed feelings about the C7's fanny, because it was the same way with the C5 Corvette, except vice-versa. The C5 had a rear bumper that was fully matched to the rest of the body's paint. C5 owners found that they wanted a bit of contrast on the rear of their cars, so they would either paint or apply black vinyl to the lower section of the bumper.
This became very popular and was even carried over to the C6's factory rear bumper design, but a lot of C6 Corvette owners transitioned back to a full color matched rear bumper by painting the factory rear valence, replacing it, or replacing the rear bumper as a whole. Like we said before, it's all about the owner's personal preference.
We look forward to seeing some more C7's with color matched lower rear bumper covers. The Crystal Red Metallic C7 that RPI Designs used looks good, but we want to see how other colors look as well, because depending on the color, it could possibly make the rear end of the car look huge.

text: Those who refuse to learn from rock history are doomed to watch its repetition in kicky fad form, its intentions misunderstood and its inheritors mutated beyond recognition. So little wonder that D.C.'s hardcore muse and former minuteman Ian MacKaye bears the punk-rock torch with sometimes missionary zeal. The Argument, Fugazi's eighth album, is a bracing corrective to the misconceptions of punk's original intent. Point one: Punk "anarchy," since dismissed as chaotic nihilism, is a reasonable and relevant response to greed-driven municipal destruction ("Cashout," "Strangelight") and malign neglect of citizenry ("Argument," "Oh"). Point two: the do-it-yourself ethos that fetishizes instrumental cacophony and vocal intensity is not a function of anger or a form of anti-music but an aural manifestation of direct, humanistic expression ("Full Disclosure," "Epic Problem"). Point three: Melodicism isn't counter-revolutionary, pop triviality is ("Life and Limb"). And in every skewed guitar note and crackling drum beat, every cello stroke and modulation of MacKaye's malleable voice, there's a passion for rigor — intellectual, political and musical. That's point four: Control isn't weakness if it's in service of the message. Melancholy and scabrous, this is an argument made through music, subtly rewriting punk's rewritten history.

So many actors have played John Connor, savior of humanity in the war against the machines, that this time-traveling fifth chapter in the Terminator series could be a head-scratcher. My advice? Stick with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the "one true Terminator." Yes, he's back, busy here jumping time zones — 1984, 2017, 2029, pick a year — to protect Sarah Connor. Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke — that's right, the khaleesi — takes the role created by Linda Hamilton, and she's a dynamo. Sarah is the future mother of John, but when we meet her she's just met Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney), the destined hero's baby daddy. So what to think when the grown-up John (Jason Clarke) pulls a Back to the Future and shows up to confront Mom with nasty secrets she shouldn't hear?
Still with me? Hope so. Terminator Genisys fires on all action cylinders when director Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) follows the model James Cameron set in the first two films, still the glory of the series. "Genisys," with the odd spelling, refers to a new OS that has consumers lining up to become slaves to digital masters. Some things never change.
Most of all Schwarzenegger: At 67, he can still kick girlie-man ass with the best of them (eat your heart out, Ant-Man). "I'm old, not obsolete," says the guardian Terminator, barely annoyed with the aging flesh attached to his metal ecosystem. He's back. And he's the Man. What are you waiting for?

SENATE President Bukola Saraki yesterday rolled out quick and long-term measures for the federal government to get the nation out of recession, insisting that Nigerians were no more interested in blame passing but solutions. Saraki, who spoke extensively while presenting his welcome back speech to the Senate in session, called on the senators to hit the ground running as the situation of the country is worse than it was before they went on recess. According to him, "We will submit to the executive; this we will do along with passing the necessary legislation we have identified. "I must hasten to add in my own opinion that the executive must begin to take the following needful steps to show Nigerians, the international community and investors, both local and international, that we are ready to reform and do business," he said. "The executive," he noted, "must immediately put in place leadership-level engagement platform with the private sector. This must be one that is pro-business and shows unequivocally that government is ready to partner with the private sector towards economic revival. "This is a critical signpost towards market confidence which is a key ingredient to help us revamp the economy out of recession. And they must raise capital from asset sales and other sources to shore up foreign reserves." He added that "this will calm investors, discourage currency speculation and stabilise the economy. The measures should include part sale of NLNG Holdings; reduction of government shares in upstream oil joint venture operations; sale of government stakes in financial institutions, e.g. Africa Finance Corporation; and the privatisation and concession of major/ regional airports and refineries." The Senate president further averred that the government must consider "tweaking" the pension funds policy within international best practice safeguards to accommodate investment in infrastructure and mortgages. "The executive and CBN must agree on a policy of monetary easing to stimulate the economy and harmonise monetary and fiscal policy until economic recovery is attained. We must ensure local government borrowing does not crowd out credit for the private sector, and also re-tool its export promotion policy scheme with export incentives such as the resumption of the Export Expansion Grant, EEG, and introduce export-financing initiatives." He urged the executive to engage in meaningful dialogue with those aggrieved in the Niger Delta and avoid escalation of the conflict in the region. "The National Assembly is very ready to play any role in the process and offer ideas on approaches that will deliver quick win-win in order to move the region and the economy forward. "The executive must as a deliberate response consider immediate release of funds to ensure the implementation of the budget for the near short term to inject money into the economy. "Similarly, the agricultural sector and the agro- allied businesses should be directly supported to boost value addition and job creation. "While government works on the medium to long-term plans, immediate strategies must be devised that would ease the suffering of the ordinary people across our country. In this case, particular attention should be given to our citizens in IDP camps. The images emerging from this zone of deprivation and hunger is no longer acceptable. Government should accelerate interim measures to provide social safety nets to our people and assuage current high level of misery in the land. Such intervention should seek to fully execute the social spending framework already provided in the 2016 budget," Saraki urged. He also urged every senator to turn attention towards a number of legislative priorities such as the Petroleum Industry Bill, saying "we must ensure the passage of the PIB as soon as possible to stimulate new investment and boost oil revenue. As we all know, this bill is long in waiting and is very crucial for vital investment in the oil and gas sector. The impasse of not passing the bill is doing great harm to the industry and the Nigerian economy as a whole." Mortgages, he said, remain key for them in the National Assembly and that they would immediately begin the process of accelerating bills aimed at reforming the sub-sector for growth and accessibility in a manner that deepens the people's access to housing, jobs and economic activities that could inject fresh funds into this sector. "There is the National Development Bank of Nigeria (est. etc) Bill 2015, which will provide long term, cheaper source of funds to the private sector. "There are also the Nigerian Ports and Harbours Authority Act (Amendment) Bill 2016; National Road Fund (Establishment, etc); National Transport Commission Act 2001; Warehouse Receipts Act Bill 2016; Review of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, CAMA, Investment and Securities Act (ISA) and Customs and Excise Management Act; Federal Competition Bill 2016; and the National Road Authority. In my view, these bills and some of the other economic reform bills we will be considering in the coming days will be critical in the creation of a basic framework to free up capital and provide the opportunities to get us out of this recession. "We must also explore the possibility of backing certain key government policies with legislations that have time limitations. This will help give confidence to investors to go into certain areas of the economy and invest without the fear that such policies will suffer reversals and their investments lost. This is especially important in boosting investment in agriculture and minerals, which are critical segments of the new diversified Nigerian economy. "This chamber is ready to receive and consider expeditiously additional proposals from the executive to create a new Nigerian economy and get us out of this recession as quickly as possible "Distinguished colleagues, I must at the point like to re-emphasis the fact that we need togetherness to tackle this problem and it will be naïve to consider the problem we face today as the problem of the administration alone, or that those who brought us to this situation should see us out. That would be doing a disservice to our people who elected us to help them out when they are in need. This problem is our collective problem; it doesn't matter if we are APC, PDP, or whatever affiliation we may have politically or socially. As leaders, we must respond positively to the challenge and thinking out of the box. Hence, we cannot allow our personal interest or comfort to becloud our perception. I do not think anybody in this chamber has gone through more political persecution than myself since the inception of this government, but I will be the last to fold my arms and say that the current economic problem is not my problem," the Senate president posited. Reps pass vote of confidence on Dogara Despite the budget-padding allegation levelled against the leadership of the House of Representatives, 85 percent of the lawmakers have passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of the House. Nigerian Pilot recalls that while on recess, former Chairman of Appropriation Committee, Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin had accused Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Deputy Speaker Yussuff Lasun, chief whip, Hon. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, and the House minority leader, Hon. Leo Ogor, of padding the budget discreetly and dishonestly to the tune of N40billion. Jibrin also accused Dogara of abusing his office by soliciting for inappropriate favours from agencies and multinational companies. He accused Dogara and Deputy Speaker Lasun of diverting millions of naira in the name of paying for guest houses and official residence. Jibrin also alleged that Dogara had refused members access to the financial dealings and internal budget of the House, adding that the speaker ran the financial management of the House like a cult. He had even appeared before the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption led by Prof. Itse Sagay, as well as the Special Investigative Panel, SIP, led by a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Amodu Ali, to prove his allegations. Reacting to allegations that the speaker appeared before the North-West caucus meeting and begged the lawmakers over his action and even attempted to bribe them with vehicles and office items, the chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon Abdulrazak Namdas yesterday said despite the frivolous and baseless allegations by Jibrin, majority of the lawmakers were solidly behind the House leadership. Namdas hinted that as part of his pre- resumption activities, the speaker usually visits the various caucuses of the House as a way of identifying with them. He said at the meeting held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotels, the caucus members never passed a vote of no confidence on the chief whip of the House, Hon Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, as alleged by Jibrin. The House spokesman maintained that the speaker never begged or attempted to bribe the lawmakers with vehicles and office items, adding that the issue of vehicle had been on the front burner even before the House went on recess. Namdas insisted that they would follow the tradition of investigating the allegation internally, stressing that nobody was above the House rules, including the speaker. Earlier, Jibrin had claimed that in the caucus meeting, the speaker made a surprise appearance where he begged for the role he played in the budget padding and also attempted to bribe them with official vehicles and office items. The former appropriation chairman hinted that at the meeting, the caucus decided that Ado-Doguwa should step down because they did not have confidence in him. Jibrin said in the spirit of justice and fairness, Dogara should resign for a speaker pro-tempore to emerge so as to allow for thorough investigation. He noted that the speaker could still go back to his position if not found guilty of the allegations. According to him, "This matter should be investigated internally, and of course if this matter must be investigated internally, there is a laid down tradition. "There was a statement the speaker made at the North West caucus of the House; he talked heavily on the tradition of the parliament when grievous allegations of corruption has been made against him. "Nobody is saying that the speaker should be removed instantly, but in the spirit of fairness and justice, he should step aside for a speaker pro-tempore to emerge. "The speaker pro-tempore will set up a committee to investigate or direct the Committee on Ethics and Privileges to carry out the investigation and give them time line to investigate the matter and return back to the House. "If the committee brings back its report and did not indict the speaker, then he goes back to his office as the speaker. "If the committee indicts them, they lose their position and face prosecution. So, it is against this background that we went for the meeting and I must say that we are lured into that meeting, because we are not expecting to see the speaker at the meeting, it was just going to be a zonal meeting and most of the decision we took was that we no longer have confidence in the leadership of Alhassan Ado-Doguwa and all members agreed that he should step down as whip. "The speaker started by begging that we should forgive him for the offences he has committed and other members of the body of principal officers that has been accused of budget padding and he said that whatever offence that they have committed; we should forgive them. He went ahead to talk about the purchase of vehicles and he was assuring members that very soon it is going to be sorted out, he went again to talk about items in the office, if you remember it is part of the allegation I raised, that a lot of items were procured to members offices and contract awarded in such offices that already have such items. "So I will advise members not to receive such items by my own thinking, probably they were awarded and they were not even supplied; they were only trying to cover up. "On the allegation of N40 billion, he tried to explain that it is a tradition, immediately he said it is a tradition, Hon. Aliyu Madaki interjected and said that "Mr Speaker if you said this is a tradition, does it make it right that you take without the approval of the House? What sort of tradition is that you take N40 billion of N100 billion that is meant for members and you call it a tradition?" Meanwhile, the House yesterday abruptly adjourned plenary to today in honour of a deceased colleague, Hon. Elijah Oluwatayo (APC-Lagos). While reading a letter from the bereaved family, the speaker said Oluwatayo died on July 20, 2016, at the age of 66. Dogara also announced the death of three other former members of the House – Muhammed Useni, Alex Eze and Etim Atakpa. Useni represented Makrafi Federal Constituency of Kaduna from 1999 to 2003 while Eze represented Nsukka/Igboeze Federal Constituency of Enugu within the same period. Atakpa represented Essien Federal Constituency of Akwa Ibom from 1992 to 1993 on the platform of the defunct National Republican Convention.

How to Choose Your Wedding's Entertainment
Sure, you want the ceremony to be meaningful and the dinner to be memorable, but what really makes a wedding a party – be it refined or rollicking – is the entertainment. And to get this party started, the most important element, of course, is this music.
According to The Knot's annual Real Weddings Study, in 2014 couples nationwide on average spent $3,587 for a band and $1,124 for a DJ, both increases over 2013. That said, prices vary widely depending on experience, notoriety and location.
To find great, reliable performers, first ask your friends who've recently gotten married what they thought of their band/DJ, advises Anne Chertoff, a New York-based wedding editor. You also can search the vendor listings in city-specific bridal magazines or on wedding-related websites. If someone strikes your fancy, try to see them in action at a wedding, bridal event or individual show; but if a live viewing is impossible, Chertoff recommends requesting a DVD or video so that you can get a good idea of their professionalism and stage presence as well as their sound and musical range.
If you find that a particular band or DJ's vibe is music to your ears, the next step is to set up an interview. "Explain what you're thinking in terms of musical selections and see if they get excited," says Anja Winikka, site director for The Knot. You'll also want to ask about their experience with weddings (hopefully lots!), what kind of sound system they use, what requirements are included in their contract, if you can create a do-not-play list and if they're willing to learn/acquire songs that aren't already included in their repertoire.
Have ample funds? In addition to the band or DJ that can offer something for everyone, personalize your event with a ukulele, harpist or trio for the ceremony (consider classical renditions of rock songs for your walk down the aisle!), and a line dance, swing or salsa band that could play during the cocktail hour and/or part of the reception.
But if you're on a tighter budget, you'll likely be better off opting for a DJ (who also can emcee and play many genres of music) or springing for a single band that's capable of playing ceremony, cocktail hour and both dinner and dancing, says Chertoff. Filling up an iPod or laptop with your favorite tunes is another way to save money, but take note: You'll still need an emcee, you should be prepared for technical glitches, and it's key that you assign a point-person to start and stop the device for special dances and toasts, or to skip to the next song if the current one just emptied the dance floor.

If I don't have enough projects that I'm working on, I've begun learning a new (new to me) technique.
For some reason, I've always been extremely apprehensive about Illusion/Shadow knitting.
'don't ask why...please, I couldn't tell you why, since I do love doing lovely Fair Isle stuff and the sort, with so many MORE colours, rather than just two...so, it's not that I would have anything against knitting with two colours (or more)
...I didn't realise it's actually as easy as it is -- maybe it's because I don't care to purl that much, that I've just passed on the whole technique.
So, here I go, learning something new to me. Wish me luck, and I'll send off snapshots after I have something worth showing.
Shadow Knitting is great.
Shadow Knitting is great. I recently went on a three day "camp" (own room with ensuite style camping) with members of a knitters guild that I belong to (yes, 47 women and me). One of the workshops was on shadow knitting. It is very effective and easy. You do have to concentrate a bit - but not to the point where it'll bring on a migrain! I bought a great book 'Shadow Knitting' by Vivian Hoxbro which has some great ideas in it. Good luck with it.

Two friends conclude an amateur basketball game at the YMCA. They chat happily as they leave the gym. One, David Lempert, asks if the other wants a pizza, but hw says no -- his wife will be worried, since the game ran very late. He stops to call his wife on a pay phone. He eyes another woman as he makes the call, then talks with someone on the phone, who says she wants to go out for pizza. As he talks, shots are fired outside, but he doesn't notice. He agrees, says he'll take a cab over, then hangs up. When he leaves the building, he sees Lempert dead in the street.
The other player tells Logan that he didn't see anything, and gives him Lempert's name. He says that Lempert was an accountant working for the Parks Department, and can't believe that he's dead. Logan tells the man to call him if he remembers anything else. He leaves, and Logan finds Briscoe by the body. Briscoe says that Lempert was shot three times in the chest, and Logan remarks that the killer wasn't taking any chances. Another cop shows up saying that one of the local prostitutes, Deidre Martin, says she saw something. Deidre says that she saw a black car double-parked across the street.

She says that she saw someone jump into the backseat just after the shots were fired. She remembers about half the license plate too. Briscoe thanks her and jokes that she might get a call from the mayor.
->"Yeah, well he's payin' like everyone else."\\
--Deidre Martin
Briscoe has another cop buy her a coffee, and she leaves.
Van Buren jokes that the crime rate is unbelievably high.
->"I don't know why anyone still lives here."\\
"Hey, where else can you get mugged by a guy in a $40,000 car?"\\
--Anita Van Buren and Lennie Briscoe
Logan notes that three shots was overkill for a mugging. Van Buren thinks the killer was just nervous, but the cops think that someone was waiting to kill Lempert for a while. Profaci comes in and says that they found the car; it's registered to a Dr. Harry Fine.
At Fine's apartment, the cops only find his widow -- Fine has been dead for some months. Briscoe wonders why Fine still has a car registered to him, and his widow, Maddy Fine, blames the DMV. Briscoe tells her that her car was a getaway vehicle in a crime, but she says that the car hasn't moved from the garage since Fine died. She uses public transportation (or cabs) to get around town, so she never drives, and no one else has access to it.
A garage worker confirms that Maddy never uses the car, and that it hasn't moved at all since Harry died.
->"The Harry Fine memorial town car."\\
--Lennie Briscoe
Logan finds that the plates are missing. The garage worker says that the plate was there the previous day, when he washed the car. Briscoe says that he'll call CSU. Logan, meanwhile, asks for receipts for the people who don't have permanent spots in the garage. The garage worker says he'll get the tickets.
The lab tech at CSU is upset about the delay.
->"What'd you do, simonize[[note]]this word means 'wax'[[/note]] the Lincoln before you called us down here?"\\
--Lab tech
The tech says they got nothing from the exterior of the car. However, some of the tickets at the garage had criminal records. John Joseph Furini, one of the people parking there, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, two counts of resisting arrest, and voluntary manslaughter at various times, but was never convicted. Furini is a soldier in Vincent Dosso's mafia gang.
At his dad's ice company, Furini complains about the cops suspecting him. He has a black Lincoln, but says he bought it for himself when his company became successful.
->"A Caddy was a couple of bucks less. But you can't beat the towncar for sophistication."\\
"You're a regular David Niven."\\
--John Furini and Vincent Dosso
The cops ask about Lempert, but Furini denies all knowledge. He says there's a lot of black towncars in the city. Logan asks what Furini was doing at the parking garage, and he says that his company was serving ice at a bar mitzvah in the area. He gives them the client's number to call her. The cops ask where the car is now, and he points it out on the street.
Logan notes that the car has plates, but Briscoe says that Furini would have remembered to put his old plates back on. Logan peaks inside the car, and Briscoe warns him that they need a warrant. Logan says he just wants to see if it's worth their time to apply for one. Briscoe wonders why Furini attacked Lempert; the two wouldn't have been likely to interact.
At the Parks Office, Lempert's supervisor details Lempert's job -- financial projections and budgets. He adds that Lempert was competent at what he did, and that Lempert never mentioned Furini. The manager wonders what secrets Lempert had, and Logan says that's what they want to know. The manager doesn't know of any particular vices Lempert had. Briscoe finds a picture of a young woman, and the manager says that it's Emily Lempert, David's daughter. She's away at a fancy college. Logan says that they didn't know Lempert was married, and the manager says that Lempert was divorced a few years ago.
Priscilla Lempert says that whoever mugged her ex-husband must have been disappointed; David never carried much cash on him, or even had much money at all. Briscoe jokes that city jobs would never make anyone rich. Priscilla admits that money was tight.
->"Look, we were married for 21 years. It was great for one, good for two... C+ for the rest."\\
--Priscilla Lempert
Logan asks if there were fights, and Priscilla becomes offended that they suspect her. She says they never fought; David Lempert never showed any passion at all. The only things he cared about were his basketball games and Emily; that's why he paid for her private college. Logan asks if he had any other sources of income, but Priscilla says that every penny went to pay for Emily's schooling.
->"If he had anything else, she wouldn't be driving an '83 Buick. All her classmates drive [=BMWs=]."\\
--Priscilla Lempert
Briscoe refers to Dave as her husband, and she corrects him that Dave is her "ex" husband. She doesn't recall him mentioning a John Furini, and says they hadn't spoken in more than a year.
Outside, Logan wonders if Briscoe would buy his daughters a BMW. Briscoe says that it's fine to want good things for one's daughter, so Logan jokes about a pair of fancy sneakers that he bought his elder daughter Julia. Logan says that he won't buy his kids a fancy car. After a chuckle, Briscoe wonders if Furini loaned Dave Lempert some money. They decide to see how he lived.
In Lempert's apartment, Logan looks at some bank statements and says that Lempert had very little money, so he probably hadn't ripped off the mob. Briscoe sighs about the poverty that city employees live in. He then opens up Lempert's closet.
->"Woah! Three gray suits. A wild and crazy guy."\\
--Lennie Briscoe
Logan finds a bunch of complimentary shampoo bottles from a downtown hotel. Briscoe jokes about a bathrobe he took from another hotel, but Logan points out that someone so cheap as to steal hotel shampoo wouldn't rent a hotel room that was only a subway ride away from his apartment.
At the Arcady Hotel, a cashier says that Lempert stayed with them for three months. Briscoe wonders why, since the hotel's not in a vacation area. The cashier says that it was jury duty. He smiles and says that the hotel made a lot of money, putting up twelve people for three months and providing all their meals. The press also helped. Briscoe asks what the case was, and the cashier says that Vincent Dosso was on trial for the murder of a labor representative, O'Malley.
Logan tells Van Buren that it can't be a coincidence that Dosso was on trial and then Furini was near the location of the murder of one of the jurors. Van Buren says that the jury hung and there was no trial, so there'd be no reason to kill Lempert. Logan thinks Lempert hung the jury. Briscoe points out that city accountants aren't often killed by the mob. Van Buren wants a motive. Briscoe wonders if Lempert was bought off and wanted more money, and Logan thinks that Dosso wanted to cover his tracks by killing someone who could lead back to him. He wants to talk to the other jurors.
->"What are you going to do, look up 'Anonymous Juror' in the Yellow Page?"\\
--Anita Van Buren
Briscoe says that someone had to know their names.
In Judge Berman's office, a clerk, Arthur Gibbons, says that if he gave out that information, he'd be fired. Logan says that no one would be hurt since the trial's been over for six months.
->"Judge Berman's got rules."\\
"So does my Lieutenant. That doesn't stop me from taking a three hour lunch break every now and again."\\
--Arthur Gibbons and Lennie Briscoe
Gibbons finally gives them a name.
Sharon Esserman says that it was terrible being stuck in that hotel. There was no TV, books, or magazines, they couldn't go outside their rooms even for ice, and couldn't talk on the phone without a court officer present. When Briscoe asks about Lempert, she says that Lempert was the one who hung the jury. Everyone else thought that Dosso was guilty in a weak, but Lempert just kept saying he didn't believe it. Logan asks if he was bought off, but the juror doesn't see how -- the court officers never left them alone. She thinks that Lempert was just a jerk.
Officer Joe Williams says that they were on high alert for juror tampering or assassinations, and that they brought in everyone they could. His security measures, he says, were airtight. He insists that he's never lost a juror. Logan points out that he might not know about any losses. Briscoe asks about Lempert's contacts; he made weekly outgoing calls to Emily, and received three from Priscilla. Williams leaves to take a call, and Logan notes to Briscoe that Priscilla had said that she hadn't talked to Lempert in a year. Briscoe wonders if Priscilla got mixed up. Logan asks when Briscoe last spoke to one of his ex's.
->"July 17th, 1994, 2:35 PM."\\
--Lennie Briscoe
In her apartment, Logan says he doesn't like being lied to. Priscilla denies calling Lempert, and maintains this even when they threaten to arrest her for obstruction of justice. Briscoe says that she'll be at risk every time she goes outside. She says that the police can't protect her. Logan says the mob won't stop; they'll come after her since Lempert might have talked to her. Briscoe says they'll go for Emily too. Priscilla says that, after the divorce, money became tight, and Lempert couldn't keep up with Emily's tuition payments. A man approached Priscilla, knowing everything about them, and offered her money in order to call Lempert at the hotel, then leave while they spoke. After the trial, Lempert paid off Emily's tuition bills. She identifies Furini as the man who spoke to her.
In her office, Van Buren points out that all they on Furini is jury tampering in the 2nd degree, which isn't even a felony. Briscoe grumbles that bribing a juror has such a light penalty, but Van Buren just says that legislators are idiots. Briscoe says he feels bad for Lempert, who got killed for trying to keep Emily in college. Van Buren says that Lempert took money from the mob and he's a bad guy. Briscoe still feels bad for Lempert, and Van Buren tells them to arrest Furini. Logan is surprised that they're getting him on a misdeamonr, and Van Buren sarcastically asks if they have better things to do. Logan says that they might be able to get a wiretap with Priscilla's statement; ideally, they could get evidence implicating Furini in Lempert's murder. Van Buren tells them to talk to the Organized Crime Control Bureau.
At the Bureau, the detectives listen to wiretaps.
->"You got the shirt?"\\
"Yeah, I got the shirt."\\
"You sure you got the shirt?"\\
"Yeah, I got the shirt."\\
"You got the bullets for the shirt?"\\
--Two mobsters
Logan comments that the mobsters are idiots. Briscoe asks if Furini is on any of the tapes. The officer shows them a video of Furini and Dosso shaking hands; the two have been very close since the trial. Briscoe asks if Lempert was mentioned in the tapes. She gives them a large box of transcribed tapes (labeled by caller and who else was present), and another box of ones that have not been transcribed.
Logan listens to a recording of Dosso calling Furini a moron, and remarks that he's reminded of his own family. Van Buren says that they're wasting their time; the mobsters know that the Bureau is listening in and talk in code. Logan is optimistic that the mobsters might have screwed up somewhere. Briscoe reads a transcript between Furini and Dosso, taken just after Lempert died. In it, Furini confirms that a "Mr. Parks" was "taken care of."
->"Badda-bing, badda-bang, badda-boom."\\
--John Furini
Dosso then congratulated Furini. Van Buren authorizes the arrest of both Furini and Dosso. The detectives do so, arresting them both at a fancy restaurant. Briscoe Mirandizes them; when he says that they have a right to an attorney, Dosso smirks.
In [=McCoy's=] office, Dosso's attorney, Mark Paul Kopell, remarks that they'd be more comfortable in his office. He's an old school rival and friend of [=McCoy's=]. They joke about [=McCoy's=] meager city salary and what fun it would be to go to Aruba. Mark jokes to Furini's lawyer, Mr. Murphy, that [=McCoy=] graduated with a higher class rank than him.
->"But like they say, the A students end up working for the C students, or in this case, being humiliated by them."\\
--Mark Paul Kopell
Kincaid brings up the tape, and Mark asks if she was also an A student. [=McCoy=] points out that you don't need to be brilliant to understand the tape, and then he plays it.
->"I think the meaning is obvious."\\
"Sure it is. They were watching Miss America reruns."\\
--Jack [=McCoy=] and Mark Paul Kopell
He says [=McCoy's=] case is doomed and that he's moving to suppress the tape, as is Murphy. The defense counsel leaves, and Mark says that his wife Anna sends her love. Once they're gone, Kincaid is surprised that [=McCoy=] is friends with Mark. He says that Mark was a brilliant point guard on the law school basketball team.
->"Did he pay off the ref?"\\
"He's the defense counsel, Claire. Not the defendant."\\
--Claire Kincaid and Jack [=McCoy=]
In Judge Andrew Barsky's chambers, Barsky reviews the motions to dismiss. Mark opens by clarifying that they're in America and the Constitution still applies, and argues that the tape violated the 4th amendment. [=McCoy=] says the warrant for the tape was valid. Mark says that the warrant was for a tap on Furini's phone, and the intent was to implicate Furini. Barsky says that the tape has in fact done that. Mark says that Murphy will address that, but in the meantime, he contends that Dosso's name should have been on the warrant if the conversation was to be offered into evidence against him. Dosso's name was not on the warrant, so, Mark argues, the tape can't be used against him. [=McCoy=] says that it's absurd, and argues that, if the police enter a house with a search warrant for drugs and find a visitor dealing drugs right there, Mark's argument would imply that they can't arrest the visitor, since his name wouldn't be on the warrant for the house. Mark says that this is false because the visitor wouldn't have an expectation of privacy; Dosso did. [=McCoy=] says that Dosso didn't have an expectation of privacy in Furini's telephone, but Mark says that Dosso did have such an expectation in his own phone. [=McCoy=] argues that there was a separate warrant for Dosso's phone, but Mark says that was just his office phone. This call took place from a pay phone in Miami Beach. Mark finishes by saying that accepting the tape into evidence would destroy the 4th amendment. Barsky, amused, accepts his argument. He cuts off [=McCoy's=] objection.
->"I wear the robes, Mr. [=McCoy=]. I can do anything I like."\\
--Andrew Barsky
Murphy then argues that the warrant was for O'Malley's murder, not Lempert's. [=McCoy=] easily cites a precedent allowing the tape, and Barsky agrees.
->"Mr. Murphy, I may be open-minded, but I'm not vacant."\\
--Andrew Barsky
Outside, Mark and [=McCoy=] banter. [=McCoy=] still think he has a chance, but Mark doubts this. They leave, smiling.
Schiff grumbles about the ruling, saying that Mark earned his hourly $600 fee. [=McCoy=] says that Mark made a good argument and found the right judge. Kincaid remarks that Mark was still a C student, but [=McCoy=] says that Mark only got C's because he was spending so much time in court. He spent a lot of time helping disadvantaged groups in court. Kincaid maintains that Mark is a bad person, saying that he blindsided a senile judge on behalf of a vicious mobster. [=McCoy=] says it's part of the game.
->"Excuse me? Last I heard, it was about justice."\\
"Merely a byproduct."\\
--Claire Kincaid and Jack [=McCoy=]
He says all they should think about is winning; justice itself is secondary. Kincaid says that she doesn't work ridiculously hard just to show off, and [=McCoy=] tells her she'll go crazy if she doesn't start. To Schiff, [=McCoy=] says that they have a good case against Furini -- the wiretap, his fingerprints at the garage, and Priscilla's statement. He wants to try making Furini testify against Dosso; Schiff okays it, saying they can offer a lenient manslaughter sentence.
At Rikers, Furini says the lawyers are wasting their time.
->"You're not being loyal. You're being stupid."\\
--Jack [=McCoy=]
They tell him that Dosso isn't going to reward his loyalty; Dosso had a brilliant lawyer like Mark, while Furini is stuck with the hapless Murphy.
->"...you had Oliver Wendell Blockhead here."\\
--Jack [=McCoy=]
Murphy objects, but can't do much else. Kincaid plays the tape of Dosso insulting Furini. Furini says that he won't testify against Dosso, but Kincaid says that he can help them in other ways. Murphy says that this is a bad idea, but Furini doesn't care. He knows that both he and Murphy will be killed if anyone finds out about him helping the state's case, but he goes ahead anyway. He tells them about a hideout of Dosso's. Kincaid says they can get a warrant with Furini's statement. Murphy insists that Furini's name remain hidden, and [=McCoy=] says that Furini has become an anonymous informant.
Kincaid hurries into a room with the detectives, but they tell her she didn't miss much. Then another cop, in charge of the recording equipment, says they need to listen to the current conversation. Dosso is praising Mark's legal prowess, and adding that Mark paid the hideout's actual owner to leave town for a while so that Dosso could use it. When someone asks if they should kill Priscilla, he says no; she knows what will happen to her if she talks against the mob.
->"Send her some flowers or something. And somebody cancel his subscription to Sporting News."\\
--Vincent Dosso
Someone tells Dosso to leave so that he can make an appointment. Logan wants to arrest him right away, and Kincaid okays it. Dosso is arrested for Lempert's murder.
In court, Judge Randall Welch is handling the arrangement. Dosso pleads not guilty, and Kincaid wants him remanded without bail. Mark insists that Dosso is just the owner of a small plumbing company. Welch complains about a plumber that overcharged him for a minor job, then sets bail at half a million dollars. Dosso is taken away, and Mark approaches Kincaid.
->"Second bite at a bad apple's just as sour as the first."\\
--Mark Paul Kopell
Kincaid says there are no Constitutional problems this time, but Mark says that he's going to be moving to exclude the new tape on the grounds of attorney-client privilege.
In [=McCoy's=] office, Mark plays some of the tapes and says that his voice is on them. He has a signed affidavit from an expert in electronic voice analysis verifying this. Kincaid says that privilege is broken if a third party is on the conversation and points out that there's another voice on the tape that isn't Mark's or Dosso's. Mark says he's that person's lawyer too, producing more documentation. [=McCoy=] says that the discussion of a criminal enterprise is not privileged, but Judge Maria Gance says this is only true if the enterprise is still ongoing or is a future scheme. Since the crime was in the past, the tape is excluded from evidence. Mark moves for a dismissal since there is no admissible evidence against Dosso.
->"I object, Your Honor."\\
"So do I. But I have no choice."\\
--Jack [=McCoy=] and Maria Gance
Later, Kincaid jokes that Mark plays the 'game' by different rules, but [=McCoy=] says that it's not a game anymore. Kincaid smirks, asking if [=McCoy's=] ego is bruised. [=McCoy=] asks her what the keystone of the adversarial process is, and after some grumbling, Kincaid says that it's two independent counsel arguing before an impartial judge and jury. [=McCoy=] says that Mark isn't independent anymore from Dosso, and he's crossed a line. Kincaid says that listening to Dosso brag is not illegal. Nor is paying off the owner of Dosso's hideout. [=McCoy=] says that Mark has facilitated the operation of Dosso's criminal enterprise, and Kincaid says that he does that simply by being Dosso's lawyer. [=McCoy=] gets the tape transcript and asks how Dosso knew that Lempert was subscribed to Sporting News. Dosso couldn't have gotten anywhere near Lempert without inviting suspicion, so Mark had to be the conduit of information. [=McCoy=] muses that, if the juror Dosso wanted to bribe had suddenly had a bout of honesty, Dosso would have been in trouble. Dosso had to be sure Lempert would crumble, and [=McCoy=] and Kincaid conclude that Mark used the juror questionnaires to identify the juror that was most in need of money. Kincaid says that the questionnaires were anonymous, but [=McCoy=] says that the county clerks would know the juror's real names.
Mark Thomas, another of Judge Berman's clerks, is brought in for questioning. He says they're on the same side and demands to know why they're going after him.
->"You wanna know why? Because I bust my butt to bring down scum like Dosso, then some whore in a uniform sandbags me for a couple of bucks."\\
--Jack [=McCoy=]
After the lawyers say they'll charge him with a felony, he quickly admits that he took $5,000 from one of Dosso's people.
[=McCoy=] reminisces to Schiff about Mark helping him study late into the night back in law school. Schiff asks what they'll do now, and [=McCoy=] wants to go after Mark. He says they can charge him with murder; his choosing Lempert's name for Dosso led, eventually, to Lempert being killed to cover up the scheme. Kincaid asks if he really thinks Mark knew what would happen, but [=McCoy=] doesn't care -- he wants Dosso, and Mark can provide him if pressured enough. Later, the detectives arrive at Mark and Anna Kopell's home, and arrest Mark in the middle of a party.
In [=McCoy's=] office, Mark and Anna Kopell enter. Anna is furious, and Mark says that [=McCoy=] could have just called him. [=McCoy=] says he wants Mark scared, and Mark says it isn't working, although he did scare Anna and his kids. He asks if this makes [=McCoy=] happy, but [=McCoy=] just says that he's upset that Mark is a felon. Mark says that, even if Dosso bribed the clerk, he's innocent. The two argue, and then Anna accuses [=McCoy=] of just being interested in one-upping Mark. [=McCoy=] says that Anna might want to leave, but she says that he knows the Kopell family and shouldnt be doing this. [=McCoy=] says that Mark can end this by surrendering Dosso, but Anna says this would lead to Mark's death. Mark snaps at Anna to be quiet, then rejects the deal.
->"Look, Jack. You can't even carry my briefcase, and you never could."\\
--Mark Paul Kopell
He says he'll move for dismissal, then hit [=McCoy=] with a massive civil suit.
In court, Mark says that there's no evidence linking him to the murder, even if the jury questionnaire part is true. [=McCoy=] says that, in a conspiracy, one person doesn't have to know what another is doing to be liable. They had a common purpose in rigging the trial, then killing the person who could link them to it. Mark says that Dosso isn't linked to those things either, so the two couldn't have been in a conspiracy. [=McCoy=] brings up the tape, but Mark says that it was suppressed. [=McCoy=] says that the state's position is that Mark wasn't just an attorney, he was totally immersed in Dosso's crimes and thus privilege should no longer apply. Bonelli seems to like this, so Mark says that privilege belongs to a client -- Dosso believed he was conversing with an attorney, and that's all that matters. [=McCoy=] says that this means that the tape can't be used against Dosso, but Mark had to know that he wasn't just acting as an attorney, so the tape can be used against him. Bonelli says she'll hear evidence concerning Mark's true relationship with Dosso.
Outside, Kincaid asks what to do now. She doubts that Mark listed 'working with the mob' for his billable hours. [=McCoy=] says he doesn't want sarcasm. Kincaid insists that the case is getting out of hand, but [=McCoy=] says this is the only way to get to Dosso.
Back in jail, Furini again refuses to testify against Dosso. [=McCoy=] says that he can testify against Mark instead. Furini is surprised. Kincaid asks about Murphy, who isn't there, but Furini says he's tired of lawyers. He wants a deal, and insists on a five year sentence. He also makes clear that he won't testify against Dosso, and he wants immunity on any and all crimes he might confess to on the stand.
In court, Furini testifies that Mark was always there when Dosso was discussing business. After confirming that the deal is good, Furini says that he often talked to Dosso about killing people, and Mark was there. [=McCoy=] asks him to be more specific, so Furini says Mark was there when he (Furini) told Dosso he'd kill O'Malley, the labor representative. [=McCoy=] is intrigued, and Furini says that he was also there when the murders of two others were planned. [=McCoy=] tries to get back on track and brings up the murder of Lempert, and Furini confirms that Mark was in the room, eating, while this was planned. [=McCoy=] asks who else was there, but Furini won't say.
->"Nice try, counselor. I don't recall."\\
--John Furini
Mark says that Furini has no credibility.
->"It's your own credibility I'd start worrying about, Mr. Kopell."\\
--Carol Bonelli
The tape is admitted into evidence, and the trial can continue.
Later, Schiff is angry. Furini will only do five years, and has immunity to the three other murders he confessed to on the stand. [=McCoy=] says he had no idea Furini would trick him like that, and Schiff accuses him of letting his ego get in the way of his case. Schiff says that it's been three months and the case against Dosso has gone nowhere. [=McCoy=] is confident that Mark will cut a deal. Kincaid asks what will happen if he doesn't. [=McCoy=] can't answer.
At lunch, [=McCoy=] and Anna talk, and Anna says that Mark will go through with the trial.
->"...he refuses to be intimidated by anyone."\\
--Anna Kopell
They argue about the probability of success for [=McCoy=], and Anna sighs that she's watched the two of them compete for twenty-five years. She demands to know if [=McCoy=] would be going through all this if Mark wasn't a long-standing rival of [=McCoy's=].
->"Alright. Maybe Paul wanted to win too much. But don't you see? You're doing the same damn thing. Win at all costs. And you know what? We're all gonna lose."\\
--Anna Kopell
In a conference room, Mark says he won't roll on Dosso. He says that Dosso is his client, and he (Mark) will be completely loyal to him. He says that he has to become Dosso and think like he thinks in order to represent him well.
->"A criminal defense lawyer who says to his client, 'I'll meet you, but only during office hours; I'll talk with you but I won't have Christmas dinner at your house; I'll -- I'll defend you, but I won't go to your grandson's Christening,' he's not doing his job, he's giving the prosecution an edge."\\
--Mark Paul Kopell
He adds that he loves his job; working for Dosso elevates him.
->"I climbed macho mountain, Jack, and it feels damn good."\\
--Mark Paul Kopell
He still doesn't think the state will win the trial. [=McCoy=] says he's offering a way out. Anna urges him to take it, but Mark thinks that [=McCoy=] only called the meeting due to the weakness of his case. [=McCoy=] says this isn't a game of chicken, but Mark says that it is, and [=McCoy=] blinked. He won't take a deal.
In court, at opening statements, Mark says that the system is weighted against defendants.
->"The People of the State of New York against Paul Kopell. Twenty million people versus one man."\\
--Mark Paul Kopell
He says that his only crime is defending his client. He says that it's common to hate defense lawyers and to joke about vicious attorneys getting their evil clients off on technicalities, but that's what makes the system work. Without those technicalities, the chances of an innocent person being convicted would be too great, he argues. He says that the system is adversarial for a reason, and that he shouldn't be punished for fulfilling his role.
[=McCoy=] agrees that defense attorneys lie, cheat, and abuse the law in order to get their clients acquitted. He says they should be commended for it, and it is what helps the system to work. His argument is that Kopell went beyond the usual attorney techniques when he picked Lempert to be bribed, and he should go to jail for it. Later, Mark is convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. Mark is led out, and Anna just stares at [=McCoy=] in horror. [=McCoy=] leaves.
At the elevators, the prosecutors talk.
->"That sounded like it was more than a game."\\
"You'd better take the next elevator. I wouldn't be very good company."\\
--Claire Kincaid and Jack [=McCoy=]
