War Without Frontiers
We're promised a new kind of war, but the first blows struck at Afghanistan last week had a decidedly familiar ring. The spectacle was wholly reminiscent of the Gulf War in its air strikes, levied without American casualties and accompanied by carefully chosen Pentagon films purporting to document the deadly efficiency of the cruise missiles and smart bombs in the American arsenal. Thanks to the example of Operation Desert Storm, "war" now seems a remote and bloodless game in the minds of most Americans. Just how distant and abstract was underscored by Saturday's news that a bomb meant for a Taliban helicopter had instead blown up a civilian site a mile away-owing to a one-digit error in the programming of its satellite-guided payload. On Tuesday U.S. bombs decimated a Red Cross relief center. So what? It's all collateral damage, and after all, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Small wonder that such an overwhelming number of Americans support whatever Bush elects to do. Framed by the memory of the Gulf War and the horrific events of September 11, their sentiments involve no conception of any downside in lining up with Bush's war on terrorism. And thus the administration is afforded a war mandate not quite like any other in American history, a license to name enemies and delineate targets with a profligacy that appears constrained only by its own appetites. At the moment the U.S.'s prerogatives are breathtaking. The enemies, and the consequent military commitments, are wherever Bush et al. choose to say they are, whenever they choose to designate them as such.
Granted, the field of possibilities is not really as open as the foregoing implies. American options for carrying the war to other fronts are hampered by the fragile state of U.S. alliances; precariously pro-U.S. Arab nations are not the only ones who wish to see a quick end to military action. On Sunday the array of dissenting voices included many from America's staunchest ally, Tony Blair's U.K, whose secretary of state for international development, Clare Short, called for a fast, "elegant" end to the bombing. The most important tactical question is how willing the Americans are to go it alone. If they want allies outside of Israel, they will confine themselves to Afghanistan; if they conclude international opinion is a secondary matter, the sky's the limit.
Meantime, though, strikes against Iraq in the not too distant future seem almost inevitable. Day by day U.S. officials have taken care to gird the American public for an eventual offensive against Saddam's hordes. In the past week the press has been seeded with reports of alleged meetings a year ago between suicide bomber Mohammed Atta and an Iraqi diplomat, Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir Al-Ani. These tete-a-tetes may or not have been related to the September 11 attacks, and Al-Ani may or may not have been acting as an emissary of the Iraqi government. As regards any Iraqi connection to al-Qaida, bear in mind that Osama bin Laden hates Saddam and his regime for what he views as their heretical secularism. They are the unlikeliest of allies.
No matter. Press accounts likewise finger Saddam and Iraq for the anthrax attacks more recently visited on the U.S., but this is a dubious equation. There's really no percentage in it for Saddam: Unlike the terror units that have attacked the U.S., which are diffuse and difficult to locate and would like nothing better than to draw the Americans into broad-scale war, the Iraqi state has everything to lose by provoking the U.S. into making war against it. More to the point, to suppose that Saddam must be the source of the anthrax currently being mailed round the U.S. is to ignore how easy the anthrax bacterium is to acquire. It is in ready supply in a number of American laboratories that have had almost no security up to now. Until a scant few years ago, you or I could have ordered a sample of it from a commercial laboratory in Maryland that is assumed to be the source of Iraq's anthrax cache.
Iraq may be the likeliest of presumptive secondary targets, but it is hardly the only one. Southeast Asia remains an untapped goldmine of potential battlefields. The Americans have already indicated they will send military advisers to the Philippines to combat the Abu Sayyaf group implicated in a failed attempt to blow up numerous U.S. airliners in 1995. Indonesia, too, is a point of concern; with the world's largest concentration of Muslims and a population in excess of 240 million, it has been the site of some of the most virulent post-September 11 anti-U.S. demonstrations. And Malaysia is on record as the source of a letter containing anthrax bacteria that was mailed to a Microsoft office in Reno, Nevada.
Closer to the main action, Israel is pushing hard for the inclusion of a number of additional targets in the Middle East. Beyond Iraq, they include Syria as well as Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, strongholds of the pro-Palestinian forces of Hamas and Hizbollah. By Bush's definitions they certainly qualify as sponsors of terrorism, the views of dissenting allies be damned.
The administration approaches a decision point in Afghanistan. With winter coming on and little to show for its flashy hits upon Taliban and al-Qaida sites throughout the countryside, does it hunker down and prepare for ground war in the Afghan mountains, waged either by U.S. special forces or their surrogates in the Northern Alliance, or does it take its show on the road and begin targeting other antagonists in ostensibly easier settings?

Three paragraphs into its definition of the German pork sausage, Wikipedia has this to say:

While many Mills County residents were ringing in the new year in the comfort and warmth of their own homes, a Glenwood man was roughing it in a tent outside Grace United Methodist Church (GUMC).

Source: Scarlett 'Devastated' by Ryan and Sandra's Budding Romance
By now, everyone has heard about the rumored romance between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. That includes the actor's soon-to-be ex-wife, Scarlett Johansson, who, I'm told by friends, isn't too happy.
"Scarlett is a deeply private person, who during her entire marriage was only ever seen and photographed with her husband a handful of times," a friend of the actress tells me. "Now, less than a month after they split that fool has gone and got himself photographed with [Bullock] on New Year's Eve of all days. Of course she is devastated."
Images showed up just over a week ago of Sandra and Ryan celebrating New Year's together at Bess Bistro, which Sandra owns in Texas, depicting the actress dressed as a flapper. A source at the time told me that the two were leaning on each other for support.
Bullock's rep has insisted they are "nothing more than friends." But sources told RadarOnline.com on Monday that the pair are "very much dating" and that they've even made a trip or two to her Jackson Hole, Wyo., getaway.
No one is suggesting that Sandra, who has clearly moved on from her split with Jesse James, had anything to do with Ryan and Scarlett's downfall, but that hasn't made this any less painful for the 'Lost in Translation' starlet.
"Even if they are not a couple yet, this is very awkward for Scarlett. She too thinks of Sandy as a friend and hates the thought that Sandy is on team Ryan after the breakup, that is if she isn't already his girlfriend," an insider tells me.

I just do not like Sandra Bullock. At least her public persona, and her acting skills. RR is gorgeous and a fun and funny actor. I do think he may be "addicted to love," as they say. He seems needy and dependent, as though he has to have a girlfriend to exist. I do not like these two as a couple. But, to me, RR and SJ did not make a couple either. Nor did RR and AM, in my opinion. I also find it odd that folks can begin dating so soon after a break up. There must be an underlying reason as to why or how a person can do that. I also would not want to be a parent to someone else's child, especially one that was adopted or one of another race.

No Aniston did not throw Pitt away, but she did refuse to have children. As soon as he leaves her what does she do? Talks about having kids whether married or not. While I do not agree with adultery I do honestly believe she is every bit as crazy as Angelina.

Pakistan earthquake creates island off coast, emits flammable gas
2013 09 26

Pakistan quake island off Gwadar emits flammable gas
Barely half an hour after they were jolted by a major earthquake on Tuesday, people of the Pakistani coastal town of Gwadar had another shock when they saw a new island emerge in the sea, just over a kilometre from the shore.
A local journalist, Bahram Baloch, received the news via a text message from a friend.
"It said a hill has appeared outside my house," Mr Baloch said.
"I stepped out, and was flabbergasted. I could see this grey, dome-shaped body in the distance, like a giant whale swimming near the surface. Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in disbelief."
Mr Baloch and some friends landed on the island on Wednesday morning to check it out and to take pictures.
"Its an oval shaped island which is about 250ft to 300ft (76-91m) in length, and about 60 to 70ft above the water," he said
It has a rough surface, much of which is muddy and some parts are mostly made up of fine- to coarse-grained sand. One part of it is solid rock, and that is where Mr Baloch and his friends landed.
"There were dead fish on the surface. And on one side we could hear the hissing sound of the escaping gas," Mr Baloch said.
Although they couldnt smell gas, they did put a match to the fissures from where it was oozing, and set it on fire.
"We put the fire out in the end, but it was quite a hassle. Not even the water could kill it, unless one poured buckets over it."
The story now doing the rounds in Gwadar is that a similar hill had jutted out of the sea 60 or 70 years ago, and that the elders had then named it the Zalzala Koh, or the quake hill.
They say Tuesdays earthquake has brought it back.

Always Time to Dieby Elizabeth Lowell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An eccentric Quintrell aunt has invited genealogist Carolina "Carly" May to their Taos compound to compile a record of the illustrious family. But digging into the past is raising troubling questions about a would-be president's private life . . . and the grisly street crime that left his drug-addicted sister dead. As a dark world of twisted passions and depravity slowly opens up before Carly, there is no one whom she dares trust — perhaps least of all Dan Duran, a dangerous, haunted enigma who's tied to the Quintrells' history. But she will need an ally to survive the terrible mysteries a father carried to the grave — because following the bloodlines of the powerful can be a bloody business. And some dead secrets can kill.
The powerful Quintrell family of New Mexico has spent decades in the public eye. Now the recent death of the clan's patriarch, a former U.S. senator, has placed his son, Governor Josh Quintrell, squarely in the spotlight as he prepares his run for the highest political office in the land. It is not a good time to be rattling skeletons in the family's closets.
Researching personal histories isn't just Carolina "Carly" May's profession, it's her passion. But digging into the past is raising troubling questions about the would-be president's private life, his late father and catatonic mother, and the grisly street crime that left his notorious drug-addicted sister dead. And it soon becomes frighteningly apparent that the motivation of the dotty old woman who hired Carly might be something more akin to revenge — and that someone is determined to remove the inquisitive genealogist from the picture by any means necessary.

I'm using a 6.5 x 14 Ludwig Supraphonic on my kit, and lately it's been feeling a bit flat. I can't get it to resonate the way I want it to. I can get a good 'crack' out of it. However, I don't get any of those whirling high's that I love.
After experimenting with tuning the batter snare drum head WAY up, I had almost given up. I blamed it on old heads. However, it turns out that all I needed to do was tune the resonant head higher. It was like magic!
Have you ever wondered what your cymbals would look like if you actually took the time to clean them? How much of that gunk is going to come off? Are those layers of dust I hammered in permanently stuck in the cymbal grooves?
If you're like me, then you are fascinated by complex drum orchestrations, lengthy solos, tough ostinatos, and HUGE drum sets. If you're like me, you'll love Terry Bozzio: Musical Solo Drumming.
Are you a drummer who is interested in double bass, but not really interested in heavy metal? If so, look no further - you have found your book for double bass drumming.
Check out the video below of Marco Sfogli (guitar), Alex Argento (keys), Andrea Casali (bass), and Salvio Maiello (drums). Full track credits at the end of the video.
Do you think the electronic drums sound good in this song? Do you think that acoustic drums would sound better? Leave a comment and let us know what you think.

In addition to the basic 5 piece drum set, drummers need toys. Lots of toys.
Here are some of my favorite drum accessories. Follow the links to find them conveniently on Amazon.
1. Meinl Percussion PM-1 Percussion Pedal Mount for Bass Drum Pedals
This is used to mount instruments like blocks, cowbells, and jingles in place to be played with a foot pedal. The feet have spikes that can be adjusted in and out of the rubber pads. The height of the mount can also be adjusted, plus the feet can be elevated to tilt the instrument forward. I own two and am very happy with them.
2. Evans 2-Sided Practice Pad, 12 Inch
Here, I present my 'top 10' choices in drum books. With such an abundance of incredible material for drummers today, choices on how we spend our practice time are very hard. These are the choices I've made top priority since I started playing in 2006. Follow the links to purchase on Amazon.
Top 10 Drum Books
Thomas Lang - Creative Coordination & Advanced Foot Technique: Book/DVD/CD Pack
Ryan Alexander Bloom has published a follow up to his first book on double bass drumming. While the first book explored double bass techniques from a conceptual level, this second book is a library of exercises to master the techniques explained in part 1.
You can get a copy of both books at http://bloomdrums.com/ebook.html
In the past, I've struggled with coming up with drum fill ideas off the top of my head. Oftentimes, it's hard to just work with three toms to create something that sounds interesting and not too 'drum-tastic'. In many cases, simply applying rudiments and moving your hands around the drum set sounds flat-out terrible. In addition, you can end up with awkward motions which result in slamming your sticks together or hitting rims at EXACTLY the wrong moment.
So, where do you come up with ideas?
Have you ever wanted a fast and effective way to get your body loose before you start playing? I know that my playing feels much better when my body is nimble and ready to respond.
You might not know, but my *other* hobby is Olympic-style weightlifting. That means my body HURTS all the time. It's a constant battle to keep it relaxed. In my sport, if you're not getting looser, you're getting tighter.

Horror flicks: The best scares of all time
As Halloween approaches Geoff Pevere looks at the best examples of celluloid scares.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The best scares in last year's Paranormal Activity — which involve a door silently swinging open and a bed sheet rippling in the middle of the night — defy explanation apart from a complete recap of the plot.
So they should. When it comes to creating maximum movie creepiness, nothing chills like minimal disturbance. A good horror movie engages our imagination in an act of collaboration. The screen suggests, and our brains run with it. For the hills.
We will see if director Tod Williams sticks to the formula with Paranormal Activity 2, opening Oct. 22.
When Psycho was released 50 years ago, it was most often described as "a shocker." Blame the notorious shower scene for this, but we demean a great director's artistry if we let the inspired savagery of that scene stand for the whole movie. That was a shock that served a higher purpose. By alerting us to the possibility that anything could happen from that moment forward — director Alfred Hitchcock had, after all, killed off his star (Janet Leigh) in a manner and a setting that cancelled all bets — he also put us on notice for the rest of the film. The shower informed us that there was no safe place in Psycho, and from then on we were scared. Very scared.
Paranormal Activity was no Psycho, of course, and we'll likely be saying the same of its sequel. But there are pertinent parallels to be drawn: the presence of the sinister in the mundane; the perversely random nature of evil; and the darkly inspiring influence of a low budget.
Hitchcock made Psycho for what amounted to peanuts in its day and it wasn't just because working that way insured his undiluted influence over the whole project. It meant he had to get under our skins through suggestion. It compelled him to work on the largely subliminal level where horror thrives. A great horror movie need do practically nothing to keep us unnerved. Indeed, the less it does, the better it's doing its job.
A dozen or so years before Psycho, producer Val Lewton collaborated with director Jacques Tourneur on another movie that operated on the less-you-see principle. It was called Cat People and it remains a marvel of suggestive creepiness.
Lewton had no money, so his movie was forced into an economy of expression that rendered the most unlikely sounds and spaces as sites of potential horror. There's a sequence in the movie involving an indoor swimming pool at night, some harshly-cast shadows and offscreen footsteps that beat Jaws to the don't-go-in-the-water punch by a decade.
Steven Spielberg's Jaws also drew power from limitation. Although the production's budget was generous for its day, there was no getting around the fact that creating a convincing mechanical shark was pretty much a pre-CGI impossibility. Actually, there was a way of getting around it and therein lay the movie's depth charge.
When you couldn't see the shark, when the mere possibility of its presence lurked in all that blue horizon and the vastness underneath, it was terrifying. By comparison, the beast's actual appearance was a letdown.
We might want to consider the toll taken by digital imaging on horror movies. Even some of the most effective and successful movies of the pre-digital era — and here I'd offer The Exorcist, Alien and The Thing as test cases — are exercises in slow reveals.
It isn't so much the demon in the bedroom who terrifies us in The Exorcist as the rush upstairs to that room and the fear of what fresh horror awaits us now. And Ridley Scott's Alien, like John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing, works so ruthlessly as a monster movie because the monster's true form isn't known until the end. Up to that point, it's precisely the abstract nature of the intruder — the fact it could be anything — that spooks you witless.
In 1999, The Blair Witch Project exploited the raw first-person potential of the video cam as a way of generating unease — all that offscreen space and noise — a trick neatly revived by Paranormal Activity 10 years later.
These movies function on a time-tested principle of movie horror, and principle born of limitation and fuelled by necessary ingenuity. Ain't nothing more frightening than what we can imagine for ourselves.
Opening Today: Paranormal Activity 2
The manufactured creepiness of Paranormal Activity reboots with a sequel, opening today. But it wasn't screened for review purposes, so we can't tell you if it stands a ghost of a chance with moviegoers. Perhaps the studio feared the spectral presence of critics going bump in the night.

SECAUCUS, New Jersey – David Kahn, the general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves, holds a prominent position for a team in the world's premier basketball league. He also once said Darko's passing ability compared favorably with Vlade's (Chris Webber: "Vlade Divac?!").
So, depending on your opinion of Bill Laimbeer, you can rate Kahn's basketball knowledge how you please. But for what it's worth:
"There's no question in my mind, Bill Laimbeer's capable of being an NBA head coach," Kahn said.
Kahn interviewed Laimbeer for Minnesota's vacant head-coaching job, which ultimately went to Kurt Rambis, but as a Timberwolves assistant, Laimbeer is still learning the trade.
"I thought Bill did a fine job," Kahn said. "And I think that Bill, over the last couple years, is starting to learn what it's like to be an assistant in our league and acquires probably a lot of knowledge that he probably, otherwise, wouldn't have had."
"I think that there's an appreciation that all assistants who are new at it probably acquire, about just how much work it is to prepare an NBA team on a nightly or a daily basis," Kahn said.
Of course, the Pistons still have John Kuester. But I'm not sure you could find anyone who doesn't believe his firing is inevitable.
So, is Kahn right? And more relevantly, will Joe Dumars agree?

When a new person comes into your life and turns it upside down it can be the best feeling in the world. Your heart skips a beat every time that person smiles at you, and you can just see yourself by that person's side forever.
The concept of forever, however, changes in time and all things that were like second nature become an every day struggle. The love isn't gone but life has finally caught up to the two of you, and it might have been the very same life that you initially ran from.
I don't know how to begin to heal. I'm scared that I won't come back from this like I have before. At first it felt like the right choice, but now - now I think of what I could have done different; like how I should have been there for her, how I should have cared more and showed her how much she meant to me.
But it's too late, there is nothing more to do, no more ways to try to make sense of the situation. She told me not to blame myself, but I do; every day I wish that I had done things differently.
At the ned of the day, when everything has been analyzed with a mad man's mind, I finally confess to myself that I'm far from alright. I don't feel well, and I can't stop going trough it all in my head. My dreams aren't kind to me anymore; they curse me and my choices and they make me not want to sleep.
I wanted to try to do things differently. But by the time I came around, your bearing had shifted. I guess it's just bad timing.
You moved out, suddenly you're not here anymore. You left me in our old place, with the ghosts of our relationship terrorizing me to the point that I think I'm going insane.
I have to get of this rock and follow my dreams, now that your dreams have been torn away from mine it's impossible for me to see clearly on this island. I'm not happy. I know I could be happy with you, but I can't make you want me again. That is something you'll have to realize for yourself, and I'm scared out of my mind of the thought of that never happening.
And yeah, I might have had trouble saying what I feel to you. But i truly love you, with all of my broken heart.
The only comfort I have now, is knowing that time heals everything - even a broken heart.
This year is going to suck.
Is anyone there that can hear me?
Are you finally starting to see things with new eyes?
-No, I'm pretty much here by myself, but don't worry, I'm happy when I look inwards.
-But when I look at this world in flames it sure burns. But I'll be ok. I assure you that I'll be ok!
The fat lady's vibrato just dimmed away. This place is empty, containing nothing, but ready to be refueled. A blank page with everything erased as if it was never there. It's a big world, it's so easy to get lost on the way, and people loose each other all the time.
Loosing a friend and gaining experience will in the the end hopefully even itself out - becoming equally valuable. But the scars left in people will always show, always.
That's what baggage means; drawing from previous situations to cope with what's at hand.
But it is ok to be angry and to blame the world around us for what has happened. And if it helps, then great! I've cursed the world so many times throughout my life and I have found a better approach for me; I've let myself realize that people want and need different things. It has done me good, and I feel that I've begun my long journey to a place where I will be ok. So, good for me!
My camera.
All the rusted signs we've ignored throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead."
"I smile, but who am I kidding?"— Eddie Vedder
With the way ahead of me paved with choices to make I take my leave. Running the first distance but soon overtaken with reason I stop and start to think about my own reasons; do they make sense or are they fabricated to save myself from the wolves that are chasing me? I can hear them howl and I can feel their hunger breathing down my neck.
I doesn't matter if I scream from the top of my lungs, they won't rest. And neither can I.

From a Muddy Foxhole of the "Bridge Too Far"
In the times of total confusion which lie ahead let us not forget how clearly our own behavior has foreshadowed the horrible commotion of the earth and the elements. I speak in the prophetic vein, because the signs of an impending readjustment in the face of the whole earth are fairly clear. Continue reading

In his lab at Harvard University, Andrew Murray asks how organisms evolve under selective pressure and control the transmission of genetic information from generation to generation. Outside the lab, he is working to offer undergraduate students a more integrated, engaging, and accessible science education.
His lab's studies of chromosome behavior in yeast focus on mechanisms that ensure that genetic material is properly allocated during cell division. He co-discovered the spindle checkpoint, a control circuit that cells use to make sure their chromosomes are lined up properly before chromosome segregation begins. He has identified the signals that activate the checkpoint, as well as six of its components, the target that it inhibits, and the biochemical basis of that inhibition. He developed an in vitro system to study chromosome segregation in mitosis and showed that proteins other than the best-known drivers of the cell cycle, cyclins, must be destroyed to allow pairs of chromatids to separate and migrate toward opposite ends of the dividing cell.
Murray is also interested in experimental approaches to understanding evolution: that is, when a selective pressure is imposed on an organism, how does that induce the evolution of new traits? With Michael Desai and Daniel Fisher (now at Stanford University), he produced and validated a theoretical model for the factors that limit the speed of evolution in asexual populations. He has also demonstrated that when yeast cells come together to form undifferentiated multicellular organisms, they are better able to harvest some nutrients. He showed that this advantage drives the experimental evolution of multicellularity and identified the genetic mutations that give rise to the trait.
Another of Murray's goals is breaking interdisciplinary barriers in education without sacrificing discipline. He served for three years on Harvard's General Education committee, which is charged with reshaping the classes that undergraduates take to attain a liberal arts education. His efforts focused on creating science classes that would be exciting and accessible to non-majors without sacrificing rigor. He is also leading an effort to create an integrated science curriculum that will introduce a group of motivated and prepared freshmen to the breadth of modern science as a single discipline.
He has taught a number of courses that bring together students and faculty from different departments and challenge students to look at problems in new ways. With four other Harvard professors, he conceived, designed, and taught a gateway class for the life sciences that provides an integrated introduction to chemistry and cell and molecular biology, framed around the themes of AIDS and chronic myelogenous leukemia. This class is now the cornerstone of the life science curriculum at Harvard. He has also directed the Bauer Fellows program at Harvard, where he has overseen the participation of 190 undergraduates, including 60 underrepresented minority students, in research in an interdisciplinary environment.
Murray also taught Harvard's first systems biology course, for students from both the physical and biological sciences, in which students considered whether a few central biological concepts could be explained in ways that satisfy both biologists and physicists. With Harvard Professor of Philosophy Ned Hall, he designed and taught a general education class on statistics and probability that gives students a rigorous grounding in probability and connects the concepts to issues such as opinion polls, clinical trials, and heritability of human traits.

Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice Presents Annual Awards
LACONIA — In front of a crowd of over 100 supporters, CEO Margaret Franckhauser announced the three recipients of Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice's Annual Agency Awards.
The Leavitt/Knight Volunteer of the Year Award, named in honor of long time employees Charlotte Leavitt and Doreen Knight. Both Charlotte and Doreen spent time during their careers working with the volunteers of the agency and this award honors their commitment to volunteer service and the agency mission. The award was given to Ginny Caple for her many years of volunteering in the Hospice program, in particular for her work with the bereavement program. Spiritual Care Coordinator John Davies commended Ginny for her unique ability to listen when listening was one of the most important gifts one could give.
The Milham Leadership Award, named in honor of Alida Milham and her continued leadership throughout NH's Lakes Region was awarded to David Booth. David is a longtime Trustee of Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice and has volunteered endless hours to help raise funds for the agency, to working on the finance committee and during a merger three years ago served as a key member of the merger and integration committee. Margaret Franckhauser praised "David's ability to always ask the hard questions. David is stepping off the Board of Directors this year and it is only fitting that he is recognized as a true leader."
The Shirley Bentley Outstanding Clinician Award, named in honor of Shirley Bentley for her years of dedication to the agency and the nursing profession. Shirley, a retired VNA administrator and RN had served as a trustee and has been very involved with the agency for over 30 years, recently retiring from the Board of Trustees. The award was presented to Nelda Tobin, an employee of the agency for 19 years, who embodies the ideals and values that Shirley Bentley herself displays ... empathy, compassion, and high standards of care. Bette Coffey, Wolfeboro Branch Director describes Nelda as "unassuming and modest but very deserving of this recognition."

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room we had was on the top floor and had sloped, garret style ceilings. It was charming. The bathroom was a good size and very clean. The location is wonderful. Overall, it seems to be a reasonably priced hotel comparatively to the rest of the Paris market. It was also very quiet even though it is in a busy, nightlife area. - Anonymous

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - August 2, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Ford spurns advice to 'shut up' on Nixon Editorial Page F'.dov. August 2. 1971 Mayne's flowed defense UNLESS Time. Newsweek or some ambitious news digest tells the story, there may he no ruast-to-c'oast reading on how as- pirants for certain niiifjressional seats have reacted to their op- ponents' judiciary committee ora- tions. Such a pity, because linvans doubtless would appreciate know- in" whether Democratic can- didate Berkley Bedell's verbal potshot at Republican U.S. Wiley Mayne was an exceptional blast or political pyrotechnics as usual. Certainly there are compelling reasons for silence, even though the impeachment debates have given incumbents TV exposure beyond their most delicious dreams. For one thing, the gravity of presidential impeachment tends to place deliberations above the plane of ordinary fac- tionalism. As the supreme court's 8-0 ruling against the President's evidence holdout suggested, prin- cipals in the impeachment drama are guided more by lofty desires to serve country and conscience than by the more mundane urge to satisfy philosophical predilec- tions. Then, too, the knowledge gap between judiciary committee members and those bidding to unseat them next November is an abyss that barbs from the sidelines can only accentuate. Nevertheless, there was can- didate Bedell in Spirit Lake the other day, tossing the gauntlet to Rep. Mayne. By all odds, the challenge was not in good form. Yet a look at Mayne's argument shows how mightily his opponent was tempted. Referring to what he considers "the strongest case" in the obstruction-of-justice charge the question of presidential in- Too little hurts, foo FOR THE MILLIONS of Americans fed up to here with month after month of information on a subject they would rather see die Watergate, of course it might be comforting to know that they would not be burdened with this problem if they lived in Rus- sia. It was only last month, just after the U.S. supreme court ruled that President Nixon would have to surrender contested tape record- ings, that Soviet readers got their first word that President Nixon might be impeached. Reporting on the court's decision, Pravda quoted Vice- president Ford as saying the President's plan to comply would bolster his public support in the face of congressional movement to oust him from office. That reflected the official Soviet view on impeachment as a limited U.S. conspiracy to sabotage detente: "Certain circles of the military- industrial complex" are seeking to undermine President Nixon because of the work he has done to make friends with Moscow. Fully informed Soviet experts know the truth and can draw valid conclusions, according to a New York Times dispatch from Mos- cow. But once a party line has spun out in the tightly controlled Russian press (a line which has depicted Mr. Nixon as a world peace nothing can abruptly change that without a suitable ad- justment period. Thus between the freedom- voided way of communism and America's wide-open way the contrast glares: Russian people underinformed and misled, U.S. citizens overinformed to a point of wanting (voluntarily) to tune it all out. Those tired of it here might also bear in mind that if they lived in Russia there would likewise be no way to rid themselves of any high official of the government even if they knew enough to want to.

In his contempt for the evidence in that "strongest Mayne implied that in the absence of'ad- ditional information, there is in- sufficient cause for commending the impeachment proposal to the house as a whole. As an attorney, Hep. Mayne knows that a raft ill circumstantial evidence pointing to presidential wrongdoing indeed falls within the house's province. One needn't be an attorney to notice the Swiss-cheese composi- tion of another of Mayne's major assertions: that though President Lyndon B. Johnson enriched him- self while serving in congress. Democratic control of congress shielded him from the t.ype of scrutiny now inflicted upon Mr. Nixon. Bringing LB.J or any other former Chief Executive into im- peachment deliberations concern- ing President Nixon is, as they say in legal circles, "irrelevant, in- competenl and immaterial." Mayne's cliched recollections of President Johnson thus gave his opponent a springboard he could not ignore. "One of the most par- tisan speeches of the (judiciary) committee." Bedell claimed. In notable contrast to the carp- ing from the northwest is the silence of Republican Jim Leach, who is challenging Democrat Ed Mezvinsky for the First district seat.

'TUIE CHRISTIAN community, through J- ils several branches and denominations, is reaching a flash point on tlie present and future role of women. In the last years, the Protestant expression has permitted, and at times encouraged. Ihe ordination of women to Ihe .gospel ministry. The more liturgical communions, particularly the Episcopal Church, have resisted pressures to allow the ordination of women tu priestly office and parish leadership. In other denominations, women have gained or- dination and certification as pastor, only to be blocked in gaining meaningful employment. Right now Ihe Episcopal Church is in Ihe trenches over the ordination of women to pastoral office. Three bishops look i! finally upon themselves to or- dain 11 women in a so-called "rebel" service since their parent body has stalled so long in making the necessary policy changes in the church constitu- tion. This move has alarmed those who favor the ordination of women but argue il must be done in compliance with church procedures. Others are more an- gered than alarmed. They have warned Ihe three bishops (Robert L. Dewitt. Daniel Corrigan and Edward R. Welles) that they face defrocking at the upcom- ing national meeting in October when Ihe House of Bishops next convenes. As noted, for more than a century Ihe mood of the Christian church in North America has been for the ordination of women but nol in a convincing manner where it really has taken hold.

Presently, there are at least women preparing for ordination at Yale. Union and Princeton.

Weird screens when clicking RCI-buildings
When I click on any residential, commercial or industrial building in-game, I get these weird white screens with scrambled texts, a satisfaction/density bar that has green and red arrows at the same time and other texts below which don't make any sense. This glitch occurred since the last update when a few new regions were added (update 8.1) and EA does not understand my problem (stupid game advisors). Can anyone help me with this problem?
