LANL and a consortium of major subcontractors, including EnergySolutions and Frank's Supply Company, teamed to help Santa Clara Pueblo this week as families there struggle with the effects of flooding caused by the Las Conchas Fire.
Two front-end loaders from EnergySolutions will help the Pueblo remove debris and mud from retention ponds and drainages. Without properly functioning flood controls, storm water simply flushes down canyon—taking trees, boulders, trash, and anything in its way.
Last weekend was the most successful weekend District 2-4A's football teams have had all season, making the start of the district season all the more interesting.
After all five 2-4A teams got off to an unimpressive start to the season, three teams picked up victories in the final week before district play starts. Santa Fe, Bernalillo and Los Alamos are all going into the 2-4A season off of victories.
Los Alamos' victory may have been the most impressive, however, as it knocked off the Albuquerque Academy Chargers, No. 4 in Class 3A heading into last week's game at Sullivan Field. Los Alamos gave up just 164 yards total offense and didn't allow an Academy offensive score as it won 36-20.
The Transportation Board voiced a number of misgivings about the NM 502 Corridor Study Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) when Acting Assistant County Administrator Anne Laurent presented her report on changes to the committee.
The county's contract with MIG specified that it must seek input from a technical advisory committee for its corridor study. The committee was comprised of staff from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), the Transportation Department, other county departments such as Community Development and representatives from stakeholders, including the fire department, Los Alamos National Laboratory, local businesses and citizens.
NEW YORK (AP) — Now the Detroit Tigers can believe anything is possible.
They beat the New York Yankees in Game 5. At Yankee Stadium. Escaping jam after jam.
Now it's on to Texas, and the AL championship series starting Saturday night.
"It's a tremendous feeling," Doug Fister said after getting the 3-2 win Thursday. "You got to take this thing one step at a time and try to just soak it all in as we go."
Fister, not even with the Tigers until July 30, gutted through five mostly tricky innings to form an unlikely trio of stars.
Inez Ross was the big winner in the final Pace Race of the 2011 season Tuesday.
The Atomic City Roadrunners concluded their season with the Cooper's Run at the Canyon Rim Trail. The Cooper's Run, a 1.5-mile race, is designed to compare fitness improvement from the start to the end of training — the first Pace Race in April was also the Cooper's Run.
Ross finished just one second off of her predicted time at Tuesday night's race. Jamie Jablin and Duane Marr both finished with prediction errors of 15 seconds.
Jablin was also the fastest finisher on the course with his time of 9 minutes flat. Christie Kelly had the top women's finish with her time of 13:54.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team was thumped by the St. Pius X Sartans Thursday afternoon in Albuquerque.
After taking a 2-0 edge after one half, the Sartans scored three times — twice in a seven-minute span — in the second half to top the Hilltoppers 5-0 at Sartan Field.
Thursday's contest was a nondistrict affair between the former district rivals. St. Pius left 2-4A after the 2006 season, never having lost a district game since joining the district in 2000.
St. Pius got off 15 shots-on-goal to Los Alamos' three, all of which were scooped up by St. Pius' Timothy Lang.
Los Alamos, the defending Class 4A champion, defeated St. Pius in the semifinals of its 2010 state title run.
As Jerome Block Jr. joins the roster of bad boys and girls forced to leave the state's Public Regulation Commission, let's look back and see how we got here.
In 1996 voters passed a constitutional amendment to combine the State Corporation Commission, whose three members were elected on a statewide basis, and the Public Utility Commission, whose three members were appointed.
It would be replaced by the Public Regulation Commission, whose five members would be elected by district.
This super-agency would regulate utilities, phone companies, water and sewer systems, insurance, pipelines, and tow-truck operators.
They say death is the great equalizer. We all feel pretty much the same after we die.
And when a loved one dies, the living all suffer the same pain of loss. And so it was for my friend when Bill died.
My friend was inconsolable and there was little anyone could do to ease the torment in his heart. Bill had died of AIDS and Mark was his friend, his life mate, his lover. But not his husband.
As Tina Turner sang, what's love got to do with it?
Mark and Bill had lived together in a loving relationship for more than 20 years (far longer than most heterosexual marriages I know.)
The disease that took Bill's life had been contracted by an infected blood supply, not by infidelity or promiscuity.
TISKILWA, Ill. (AP) — A freight train loaded with ethanol crashed and exploded Friday, sending up bright orange flames and plumes of smoke that could be seen miles away and forcing the evacuation of a small town in northern Illinois.
Capt. Steve Haywood of the Ottawa Fire Department said the train's tanker cars were shipping ethanol for Decatur-based corn processor Archer Daniels Midland, and possibly other materials and chemicals, when it crashed and derailed. At least six tanker cars were burning, he said.
There was no immediate about any injuries. Authorities said evacuees from Tiskilwa, a village of about 800 people about 100 miles west of Chicago, are being taken to a nearby high school.

Main characters
John Rambo
Played by: Sylvester Stallone
- Accidental Murder: Accidentally kills police sergeant Art Galt in self defense when the latter tried to purposely kill him in cold blood in the first film. In the book, he disembowels Galt in the police station for reaching for his gun after Rambo overpowered Teasle and stole the razor.
- Action Hero: The 80's emblem, and the 2000's resurgence of 80's action type as well.
- Adaptational Heroism: Perhaps more like "adaptational sympathy", but Rambo was a much darker character in the First Blood book. The novel puts more emphasis on the fact that the whole situation mostly happens because of Rambo's own pride, and Teasle actually gives him several chances to leave the town peacefully, as opposed to the movie where he takes him in after coming back once. Rambo's actions also seem more like vengeance, whereas in the movie they seem more like self-defense.
- Archer Archetype: Is fond of using a bow for its stealthy qualities, but he's not above using explosive warheads when shit needs to get blow'd up. He will use whatever weapon is available that is most appropriate to the situation.
- Ax-Crazy: Particularly in the first movie where Rambo mistakes a kid out hunting game for one of the officers pursuing him and Rambo has to force himself to let the kid go. Col. Trautman himself lampshades this during the climax where he accuses Rambo of having wanted to initiate a fight from the beginning.
- Badass Bandolier: Has worn bandoliers of ammo for his machine gun.
- Badasses Wear Bandanas: He's probably one of the most iconic examples.
- Bag of Spilling: Rambo actually did came well armed and with the equipment he needed (the camera he needed). He just happened to lose it on the way down.
- Berserk Button: Murdoch really should not have decided to abandon Rambo, and by extension, the POWs he wasn't supposed to rescue.
- Big Bad: He's this and Villain Protagonist in the novel. Despite his sympathetic backstory, his actions by the end of the novel make any sympathy you have for him fade away when he kills the innocent townspeople.
- Big Damn Heroes: Especially in the fourth movie, as the Burmese Army found out firsthand.
- Blood Knight: Subverted. Despite the violence associated with him, Rambo actually doesn't enjoy killing and is perfectly content to be left alone. But when push comes to shove he doesn't hesitate to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
- But Not Too White: In the novels, Rambo was mentioned as being half-Native American.
- While the character in the film is played by Sylvester Stallone, who is a combination of Italian, French, and Jewish Ukranian, the second film notes Rambo as being of Indian/German descent.
- Cop Killer: Killed sadistic policeman Art Galt in self-defense in the first film. Galt's death was accidental, falling from the helicopter after Rambo throws a rock at the windshield because he was leaning out the door with his seat harness unbuckled. Rambo at that point was unarmed, desperate, and looking for any way to return fire, and is visibly surprised when Galt falls to his death.
- Deadpan Snarker: In the third film, Rambo actually manages to crack a few jokes (unlike the other films in the series, where he's dead serious most of the time).*Trautman and Rambo stand alone against an entire Soviet battalion.*Trautman: Any ideas?Rambo: Well, surrounding them is out.Trautman: Hell of a time for humor, John.
- Determinator: Anything that gets in Rambo's way will be obliterated.
- The Dreaded: In the first film. Most of the police and national guardsmen who are hunting Rambo are scared shitless of him.
- Good Is Not Nice: In the fourth film. Very evident when he briefly argues with the missionaries over him saving their lives by killing the pirates.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: His torso is crisscrossed with scars from where he was cut by knives while a prisoner of war. In the third and fourth movies he also has a burn mark on his cheek from when a Russian interrogator touched him with a red-hot knife in the second film.
- Heartbroken Badass: After Co-Bao's death in the second movie.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: In the first film, when he was shunned by society, submitted to humiliation by anti-war "maggots" upon returning home, arrested for no good reason and finds himself a fugitive from justice before turning himself in that leads to life in prison until the sequel where he is pardoned.
- Heroic B.S.O.D.: Has a major one at the end of First Blood.
- Honor Before Reason: "Live for nothing, or die for something!"
- Hurting Hero: A result of the trauma he endured in Vietnam as well as the dismissive attitude he received from the public upon coming home.
- I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Co's death in the second movie sparks his Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the villains.
- Iron Butt Monkey: He's a badass, but let's face it, nothing goes right for Rambo in any of the films.
- Kick the Dog: A literal example in the first movie, when Rambo kills the three dogs the police were trying to use to track him. Still in self-defense, though.
- Knife Nut: Rambo always carries a knife for "hunting." And what can he hunt with a knife?Name it.
- Large Ham:
- "They would have RAPED her 50 times, and cut all your FUCKIN' HEADS OFF! WHO ARE YOU?! WHOUHANNYOYOU!?"
- Madden Into Misanthropy: By the fourth movie he has abandoned civilization and humanity almost entirely.
- Manly Tears: At the end of First Blood as he cries about all the horrors that he has witnessed in Vietnam.
- He also does this in First Blood Part II when Co dies.
- Older and Wiser: In the fourth movie, who is more world-weary and much more hardened battle veteran then he was in the previous movies.
- One-Man Army: Yeah, he's pretty much the Trope Codifier as far as 1980s action heroes go.
- Taken to absurd levels in the third movie, toned down to a much more believable extent in the fourth.
- Person of Mass Destruction: Let's just say that Rambo IS the bomb, minus the nuclear, plus all the lead.
- Retired Badass: Former Green Beret, having previously served in Vietnam. He always has time to fight.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Rambo goes on one in every film in the franchise.
"Murdoch..." *clinches microphone* "I'm coming for you."
- Especially this memorable quote from Rambo: First Blood Part II, after being abandoned under Murdoch's orders.
- Schrödinger's Cast: Rambo's characterization is completely different in the book then the films' one we all know and loved.
- Screaming Warrior: His trademark as of Rambo: First Blood Part II.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: Of the classic "has 'Nam flashbacks" variety.
- Sociopathic Hero: Especially in the first movie.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Is killed via shotgun blast to the head by Trautman at the end of the First Blood novel. An alternate ending where Trautman kills him was filmed before they went for the ending that was put on screen, and it appears quickly on a dream sequence/flashback on the fourth movie (and is available on the DVD collection).
- Sole Survivor: In 1971 Rambo's SOG unit, Baker Team, was ambushed by the North Vietnamese Army while on a long-range reconnaissance mission near the Chinese-Vietnamese border. The survivors were imprisoned in a POW camp and repeatedly tortured. In 1972 Rambo and his only surviving teammate, Delmore, managed to escape from captivity. First Blood opens with Rambo visiting Delmore's home, only to learn that Delmore has since died from cancer, leaving Rambo as the sole surviving member of Baker Team.
- Took a Level in Badass: Rambo does this in between every film (at least if the number of kills he manages to rack up is any indication).
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In the fourth movie - although he is still one of "the good guys" - he is portrayed as more rude and cynical than in the first three movies. Considering everything he's been through up 'til then, it's perfectly understandable that he'd be a left a little bitter.
- Tragic Keepsake: Rambo takes Co's necklace after her death in the second film and is still seen wearing it at the start of the third film.
- Villain Protagonist: In the first film, in a way, as he was a fugitive from justice and the antagonists are actually law enforcement trying to track him down. However, he plays the role straight in the novel unlike the Adaptational Heroism of the character in the films.
- Warrior Poet: In the fourth movie."When you're pushed, killing is as easy as breathing.""Live for nothing, or die for something."
- Weapon of Choice: Rambo: First Blood Part II has made the character quite fond of using a bow, usually with an explosive tip.
- In the second and third films, he is more known for using an M60 and Large Bowie Knife. The fourth film gives him a machete that he made himself.
- Western Terrorists: All of his actions he committed during the events of First Blood could be considered acts of terrorism.
Col. Sam Trautman
Played by: Richard Crenna (1982-88)
- Adaptational Heroism: Trautman is more of A Father to His Men type in the movie than in the book.
- Badass Grandpa: He was able to talk Rambo out of going through with his massacre while he's been pushed, and not only lived, but even convinced him to surrender!
- Big Damn Heroes: Subverted in Rambo: First Blood Part II. Despite having the helicopter close to the ground, he is forced by Murdoch, and his mercenaries (by gunpoint) to abandon Rambo. He knew Murdoch would regret that decision.
- Colonel Badass: But really, what did you expect from the man who trained Rambo?
- Ignored Expert: Teasle intentionally ignores Trautman's advice on how to handle Rambo, despite the track record so far.
- Kicked Upstairs: Explains to Rambo that he was shuffled off to a do-nothing desk job at the Pentagon some time after the war ended:Rambo: "I tried to get in touch with you, but the guys at Bragg never knew where to find you."Trautman: "Well, I haven't been spending much time there lately. They've got me down in D.C., I'm shining a seat with my ass."
- The Mentor: He's the man who recruited Rambo into Special Forces and trained him to be a One-Man Army.
- Morality Chain: Usually the only one who can talk Rambo out of his more screwed up moments.
- The Pardon: He offers Rambo this in the beginning of the second movie; conduct a top secret assignment (take photographic evidence of existence of POWs in Vietnam), and get pardoned for the crimes he committed in the first movie.
- Parental Substitute: Lampshaded with his first words on screen.
- Schrödinger's Cast: His relationship between Rambo and him is completely differently in the novel then in the films, also Trautman is a Captain in the book.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: In the fourth film, Trautman only appears briefly in a flashback scene. It's never mentioned what happened to the character following Rambo III. This was probably done out of respect for actor Richard Crenna, who passed away in 2003.
Appeared in First Blood
Sheriff Will Teasle
Played by: Brian Dennehy
- Adaptational Villainy: While Teasle was still a bit of a jerk in the novel, he was also a far more complex character and somewhat of a Jerkass Woobie and a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. The novel goes into great detail on his motives, his relationships with his family and other members of the town, and acknowledges several similarities between him and John. He arguably comes off as more sympathetic than Rambo and even drives Rambo to a diner to have something to eat before taking him to town limits. The film makes him into a one-dimensional asshole who the audience has no trouble rooting against, even though he has his Jerkass Woobie and Pet the Dog moments, which were minimum in comparison to the amount he had in the novel.
- Alas, Poor Villain: In a way, as everything he tried to do was to prove what Korean War vets are made of after being shunned for so long and to uphold the law in his duty as a policeman, yet now he's wounded in a pathetic state and is about to take more flak then he's ever before imagined.
- Anti-Villain: Type III with aspects of Type II (but the latter is greatly emphasized in the novel). Teasle may have been a Jerkass and something of a Dirty Cop, but everything he's done was to keep his town safe and to uphold the law as well as to put forgotten Korean War vets back in the light again.
- Big Bad: Of the first film and the novel. Subverted in the novel, he's the true hero in the novel]].
- Benevolent Boss: He genuinely cares for his deputy, heck, Galt's death is one of the main reasons why he chases after John. However, he is also considered to count as a Bad Boss, due to neglecting to notice Galt's abuse of Rambo, ignoring Deputy Mitch Rogers' advise and even grabbing him by his hair to show him Galt's corpse and vowing vengeance before finally failing to properly organize his deputies to capture Rambo that leads them to be easily overpowered. It does show he still cares as when he and his men were outmaneuvered, Teasle helped a deputy named Balford who was injured by a booby trap built by Rambo.
- Berserk Button: He's always glad to drive drifters to the edge of town closest to their destination, but God help the drifter who dares come back.
- Break the Haughty: After Rambo overpowers his posse during the manhunt initially with just Teasle and his deputies, Rambo pins the sheriff to a tree with a knife on a his throat and was able to paralyze the arrogant sheriff with fear upon warning him what Rambo's capable of and telling him to leave him alone while he still has the chance. After departing, Teasle just sinks down sobbing upon experiencing an amount of fear, humiliation and broken pride.
- Broken Ace: See Fallen Hero and Retired Badass below.
- Bullying a Dragon: His (but mostly Galt's) mistreatment of Shell-Shocked Veteran Rambo is what led Rambo to go on a rampage.
- Corrupt Hick: He is a redneck Dirty Cop.
- Cruel Mercy: Was spared from Rambo's wrath, but did not get his own victory and revenge and is left badly wounded and most likely a cripple. Also, it's implied things will go dark for him once the reason why Rambo go on a rampage through town in the first place goes out in the open.
- Defiant to the End: Eggs Rambo to Get It Over With and Finish Him! after being wounded in battle, knowing that his death at Rambo's hands would be something of a posthumous victory for Teasle as killing Teasle would damn Rambo into crossing the Moral Event Horizon as well as to border on If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him, which can be considered to be A Fate Worse Than Death for a character like Rambo.
- Dirty Cop: Of the abusive convict treatment and Knight Templar kind.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: It is implied (and the director's commentary mentions) that part of the reason Teasle is so hateful about Rambo is because of the Korean War (where he served) being pretty much forgotten by the American people while Rambo (a Vietnam War vet) is a symbol of the new, controversial thing. Explicit in the novel.
- Expy: The movie's depiction of Teasle has more in common with the Batman comic book character Harvey Bullock then the novel's version of the character. As both Teasle and Bullock are a Fat Bastard Jerkass Dirty Cop who are willing to antagonize and arrest The Hero due to their backgrounds they loathed (Rambo is a Vietnam vet and a drifter which are both things Teasle despised, while Batman is a costumed vigilante that Bullock views as a freak).
- Even Evil Has Standards: When Rambo first escapes from the station, Galt was about to open fire until Teasle stops him as Galt would have harmed an Innocent Bystander while shooting at Rambo. Then during the initial manhunt, when Teasle hears the gunshots from Galt's attempt to personally execute Rambo out of spite, he tries to radio Galt to remind him that Rambo is to be taken in alive as part of police protocol. Even after Galt was killed and Teasle vows to get his revenge, he still wanted Rambo to be taken in alive, only this time is the case of The Only One Allowed to Defeat You as he wants to be the one to deliver the final blow against him. Also see Pet the Dog below for more information.
- Face Death with Dignity: Is willing to kill Rambo or die trying, as when Trautman attempts to warn Teasle about his final confrontation with Rambo, Teasle scoffs, "Everybody dies," justified as Teasle is a Korean War vet who must have experienced risks like this and was willing go along with this (although, it might have something to do with feeling personally humiliated from his last confrontation with Rambo where he was frozen up with fear upon facing him, so Teasle this time does not want to show vulnerability and have his pride broken the next time he's given the opportunity to face Rambo). This is proven true as after Teasle was wounded by Rambo, Teasle just eggs Rambo to Finish Him!
- Fallen Hero: A decorated Korean War veteran who is reduced to an overzealous Knight Templar Dirty Cop.
- Fantastic Racism: Against Vietnam veterans, see Dude, Where's My Respect? above. Also against World War Two vets in the novel which was his ultimate jealous anger towards.
- Fat Bastard: While not exactly fat and more big boned, he has an imposing physique and described by Rambo to be "king shit."
- Faux Affably Evil: When he and Rambo first met, Teasle at first seemed to be courteous to a man on a cold December morning and offered him a ride. Teasle's true colors then show when he politely tells Rambo that because he is a scruffy and long-haired drifter, he is not wanted in the town of Hope. According to a deleted scene with Kern and Teasle, this trope is probably what Teasle meant when he said he initially and very briefly treated him as "one of (his) neighbor's kids."
- Former Regime Personnel: He's a Korean War veteran-turned sheriff.
- Get It Over With: After being shot and severely wounded, he urges Rambo, "Go on, you crazy son of a bitch, finish it!" before Trautman intervenes.
- Green-Eyed Monster: See Fantastic Racism and Dude, Where's My Respect? above.
- He Who Fights Monsters: Serves as a Hero Antagonist to capture fugitive from justice Rambo, but internally just to prove that Korean War vets (which Teasle is one of them) are more badass then Vietnam War vets (which Rambo is one of them) and to avenge the death of Art Galt, who's a despicable character to begin with, accidentally caused by Rambo. In general, despite doing his hardest to uphold the law and bring in his brand of justice, it turned him into a viciously prejudiced Dirty Cop and Rabid Cop in order to do so in his view.
- Hero Antagonist: He is performing his duty defending the well being of his town, after all, and still genuinely believes so as he goes about at the expense of Rambo. Subverted since he's also The Bully and something of a Dirty Cop to a certain extent, as the reason Rambo goes on his rampage in the first place is because of how he and his deputies mistreated him for no good reason. Played straight only in that after Rambo goes nuts, he needs to be taken down, especially in a deleted scene when Teasle argued with Kern on how much devastation Rambo caused such as Art Galt's widow grieving over Galt's death:Teasle: Why don't you go out there and take a look at what's left of my men? You'll see how motivated I am, Dave, and if that doesn't do it for you why don't you go have a talk with Art Galt's widow?
- Teasle plays this role completely straight in the novel to a point he is revealed to be the true hero.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: See Pet the Dog below.
- Honor Before Reason: While his man hunt for Rambo and his refusal to back down is driven by his desire to avenge Galt's death, it's also driven by Teasle's dislike of Vietnam vets and to prove that that Korean War vets are much as efficient as any other soldier who fought in combat and is willing to Face Death with Dignity rather than retreat, grovel or cry like some Dirty Coward if Rambo ever does get the upper hand.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Wants Rambo's head to avenge the death of fellow colleague Art Galt, who is a despicable piece of work to begin with, making the audience wonder what Teasle sees in Galt, aside from their shared hatred of Rambo.
- Hypocrite: He is prejudiced against Vietnam veterans, yet throughout the film the assault rifles (an M16 and a HK93) he armed himself are kinds used during the Vietnam War.
- I Did What I Had to Do: In a deleted scene, he argued to state police officer Kern that he did his duty as a police officer to book Rambo for vagrancy and resisting arrest:Teasle: I did my job, Dave, I booked him for vagrancy and resisting arrest.
- Inspector Javert: He stubbornly views himself as the police officer who holds the responsibility to stop criminals no matter the cost and views Rambo as the criminal needed to be caught.
- It's All About Me: See Dude, Where's My Respect? above.
- Irony: See Hypocrite above.
- Jerkass: Even though he believes he's doing his duty, he does seem to enjoy throwing his weight around. However, in the novel, Teasle is more of a Jerkass Woobie (although the movie's version still count him as this).
- Jerkass Has a Point: While the manhunt is driven by Teasle's dislike of Vietnam vets and Rambo's Accidental Murder of Galt, as a policeman and he doesn't care if Rambo's rampage is a result of PTSD, he is valid that Rambo should not be let off that easy after committing, what Teasle thought it was, first degree murder and for being a Cop Killer. This could be subverted however, as Teasle was clearly thinking with his black heart and not his head and he knew about Galt's nature and disposition and knew that Rambo likely killed Galt in self-defense, which is what happened, coupled with Galt's own foolish actions. Although Rambo would be charged for destruction of property, he would likely not be charged with Galt's death.Teasle: Now don't give me any of that crap Trautman. Do you think Rambo was the only guy who had a tough time in Vietnam? He killed a police officer for Christ's sake!
- Furthermore, when he first arrested Rambo, he was correct that Rambo should not be carrying a dangerous combat knife in the public which makes it at least one (possibly the only) good reason to prosecute him for and to make matters worse, Rambo was probably carrying it without a license as he could not afford one due to being shunned by the public to support him. It also does not help that Rambo was not giving out a straight clear answer when Teasle first questions him over it. However, the penalty Rambo was given for it was harsher than the felony itself, thanks to the other charges for vagrancy and resisting arrest.
- Also subverted as Teasle, being the Rabid Cop he is, only found the knife when he searched Rambo's bag without Probable Cause, a violation of the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution's Bill of Rights (unlawful search and seizure) that would have resulted in any Judge in America throwing the case out of court for police misconduct.
- However, there is one fact that can mostly be agreed with Teasle, though in his case he is Right for the Wrong Reasons, that Rambo is a dangerous individual who is a threat to public safety.
- This trope is played completely straight with Teasle in the novel.
- Furthermore, when he first arrested Rambo, he was correct that Rambo should not be carrying a dangerous combat knife in the public which makes it at least one (possibly the only) good reason to prosecute him for and to make matters worse, Rambo was probably carrying it without a license as he could not afford one due to being shunned by the public to support him. It also does not help that Rambo was not giving out a straight clear answer when Teasle first questions him over it. However, the penalty Rambo was given for it was harsher than the felony itself, thanks to the other charges for vagrancy and resisting arrest.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: See Pet the Dog below.
- Killer Cop: Vows to kill Rambo to avenge Galt's death.
- Knight Templar: Feels he has his town's best interest at heart when he uses heavy-handed protocol against vagrants.
- Large and in Charge: See Fat Bastard above.
- Miles Gloriosus: See Break the Haughty above.
- Necessarily Evil: Teasle is a Knight Templar Dirty Cop driven by mostly Fantastic Racism against drifters and Vietnam veterans, but believes his methods is the way to bring in justice.
- The Neidermeyer: He's a Korean War vet and a Jerkass.
- Never My Fault: Does not care that his and his department's mistreatment of Rambo is what caused him to go bonkers in the first place.
*After being told by Trautman that he picked the wrong man to push.*Teasle: No, Trautman. He picked the wrong man!
- In a deleted scene from Teasle's and Trautman's initial encounter, Trautman tells Teasle that he (Teasle) picked the wrong man (Rambo) to push (referring to the mistreatment he and his deputies gave to Rambo), but Teasle argues he (Rambo) picked the wrong man (Teasle) (likely referring to Rambo trying to deliberately walk into town to Teasle's opposition that led to Rambo's arrest):
- However, Teasle's side of the story is more justified in the novel, as he actually gave Rambo several chances to leave the town peacefully, as opposed to the movie where he takes him in after coming back once.
- Noble Bigot with a Badge: He is extremely prejudiced against Vietnam War vets, but however, he is more respectful towards Colonel Trautman, likely due to Trautman being not only a Vietnam War vet, but also (according to All There in the Manual for Trautman) a Korean War vet like Teasle, which is only thing that prevents Teasle from being totally hostile towards him unlike to Rambo.
- Not So Different: Both Rambo and Teasle are military veterans in Cold War conflicts who are also each a Broken Ace and a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds due to the way the public has been mistreating them despite their services:
- Rambo has been living life on the road, nearly friendless with Trautman as an exception, jobless and hated by anti-war civilians to a point he's been called a "baby killer," while Teasle's Korean War service has been forgotten and living in the shadow of the Vietnam War hot topic.
- More explicit in the novel.
- The Paranoiac: He initially drove Rambo out of town and then arrested him when returning due to him being a drifter who Teasle believes would disrupt harmony in Hope.
- Pet the Dog: He is a police officer after all. In a deleted scene, he shows remorse towards Galt's widow, who's grieving over Galt's corpse, and attempts to apologize to a deputy's wife for her husband's injuries Rambo caused. He then justified his man hunt by listing out the devastation Rambo caused ranging from his deputies' incapacitation to Galt's widow's grief. In the bar scene, he has a civil talk with Trautman (even started his talk with him by apologizing for being "out of line") after thinking Rambo was killed by the National Guard, confessing his desire to kill Rambo himself to him. In a deleted part of this scene, at the beginning of the scene, he returned the gesture of being congratulated for Rambo's "death," while at the end of the scene, he then offered Trautman a ride to the airport. During the man hunt, when Orval was wounded, he tends to Orval's wounds and then when Deputy Balford was wounded by a booby trap, he freed Balford. Also, just before his final showdown with Rambo, he alerts the townspeople to get off the streets and hide in their homes to be away from danger when Rambo arrives.
Teasle: I tried to do him a favor, I treated him like he was one of my neighbor's kids.
- According to the DVD's Survival Mode easter egg trivia, Teasle's resume in his profile included being a little league coach.
- It should be noted he's the only Big Bad in the Rambo films who have any Pet the Dog moments.
- This is subverted however, in a deleted scene involving an argument with Kern where Teasle tries to justify his treatment of Rambo, claiming that he "tried to do him a favor" and treated him like "one of (his) neighbor's kids" (likely referring to Teasle's initial civil and jovial welcome to Rambo while trying to escort him out of town and trying to hold back his Irrational Hatred of Rambo being a 'Nam vet while being civil with him, before Rambo pushed his Berserk Button by purposely returning to town that prompts him to arrest and mistreat him out of Fantastic Racism):
- However, the novel's depiction of the character has more Pet the Dog moments then the movie's depiction and was more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold in a way.
- Rabid Cop: A Jerkass cop who uses heavy-handed protocol against vagrants and gets other Jerkass officers to do the rest of his dirty work for him at the station.
- Redemption Rejection: After thinking Rambo is dead, Teasle mellows down and meets with Trautman to apologized for being a Jerkass Rabid Cop about the ordeal and confessing his desire to kill Rambo to him, making it seem he is preparing to walk away from his personal manhunt to Took a Level in Kindness, but when he hears Rambo is still alive and Trautman still tries to reason Teasle, Teasle aggressively rebuffs Trautman's attempts to take on the chance to achieve his own ends by killing Rambo.
- Retired Badass: Teasle is the only cop that seems to give thought to tactics and is unimpressed with Rambo's military background. In his office a Silver Star, Purple Heart and ADSC are on display, revealing that Teasle was not only a soldier but a soldier awarded for extreme valor, presumably in the Korean War.note
- Revenge Before Reason: See Roaring Rampage of Revenge below.
- Revenge Myopia: See Roaring Rampage of Revenge below and Horrible Judge of Character above.
- Right for the Wrong Reasons: See Jerkass Has a Point above.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Becomes more eager to join the man hunt to find Rambo to avenge the death of friend Art Galt.
- Schrödinger's Cast: His depiction in terms of characterization and physical appearance (Teasle in the film is an imposing man in contrast to the smaller sized version in the book) in the film adaptation is completely different from the novel's version of Teasle.
- Shadow Archetype: See Not So Different above.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Dies at the very end of the First Blood novel (and his death is the very last thing written on it). Severely wounded but alive on the movie.
- Supporting Protagonist: Overlaps with Big Bad in the novel, due to equal amounts of focus and backstory. By the end of the novel, it is clear that Teasle has become The Hero against Rambo, who is a Villain Protagonist in the novel.
- Tautological Templar: See He Who Fights Monsters and Hero Antagonist above.
- Tragic Bigot: Mostly in the novel, as while he bares Fantastic Racism against Rambo for being a Vietnam War veteran who overshadowed the existence of Korean War veterans, he is more of a Jerkass Woobie due to losing a father in a hunting trip, being divorced from his wife and overall portrayed more sympathetically. Downplayed in the film adaptation.
- Tragic Villain: Hinted to be one in the film. See also Tragic Bigot, Alas, Poor Villain, Pet the Dog, Noble Bigot with a Badge and Anti-Villain above for more information related to this trope. Played straight with Teasle in the novel.
- Vigilante Man: Downplayed. While he leads the man hunt of Rambo because he's an escaped fugitive, Teasle's persistence is fueled by wanting to avenge Art Galt's death.
- Villain Has a Point: See Jerkass Has a Point above.
- Villain with Good Publicity: In the eyes of the town of Hope, he is their sheriff hunting for an escaped fugitive and a Hero Antagonist after all.
- Villainous B.S.O.D.: Has one after Rambo pins him to a tree and threatens him to leave him alone.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: See Knight Templar above.
Art Galt
Played by: Jack Starrett
- All There in the Manual: According to the DVD's Survival Mode easter egg trivia, Galt served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1953 to 1957 as a motorpool sergeant at Camp Lejeune and then served in the reserves from 1958 to 1973. This might as well explain why Galt was trigger-happy and prolific as a Cold Sniper in the film. Also, given that Teasle is a Korean War veteran and both him and Galt have been friends for a long time when Deputy Mitch Rogers was still a little kid, these facts hint how long they might have been friends. Also, given Teasle's prejudice against Rambo for being a Vietnam vet and Galt's cruelty against Rambo, it could also imply Galt's bullying of Rambo stems from both officers sharing the same dislike of Vietnam veterans as both Galt and Teasle served in the military at a decade that has been forgotten by the public at the time of this film. In addition, despite being a cop, Galt also has criminal record, which shows Galt is a Hypocrite due to his occupation and also explains what kind of character he is based on his behavior in the film.
- Asshole Victim: A right sadistic bastard who was going out of his way to kill Rambo when he dies.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Teasle is the Big Bad, but Galt is more of a villain then he is and loved to express how much a vile Dirty Cop he is.
- Bullying a Dragon: His mistreatment of Rambo is what led to Rambo to snap and flee and his attempt to summarily execute him personally is what led to his death.
- Cold Sniper: Galt calmly promises to kill the pilot if he doesn't keep the chopper steady so he can draw a bead on Rambo.
- Corrupt Hick: He is a redneck Dirty Cop, probably worse then Teasle.
- Death By Fantastic Racism: An example that involves more in the that of Fantastic Racism rather than usual racism, based on the DVD"s easter egg, Galt's mistreatment of Rambo is implied to be caused by his hatred of Vietnam vets due to Vietnam vets given more public attention then Korean War vets or soldiers from The '50s (when Galt served in the military) and for that, Galt falls to his death.
- Dirty Cop: He's considered to be the most corrupt member of the sheriff's department who's willing to abuse then kill Rambo against the orders of the sheriff, who is his own best friend.
- Disney Villain Death: He's killed when the helicopter he's in makes a hard bank and pitches him over the side to smash face-first onto a rock.
- The Dragon: For Will Teasle.
- Dragon with an Agenda: Unaware to Teasle, who initially wanted to re-arrest Rambo after he escapes police custody, Galt planned to just kill Rambo upon finding him, which results in his death.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In a deleted scene, he had a wife who grieves for him over his dead carcass, but makes us wonder what she sees in him after the film exhibits his sadism towards Rambo.
- Evil Is Petty: The reason he wanted to kill Rambo was for his Fantastic Racism of Vietnam veterans and to retaliate for being physically assaulted back in the station when Rambo first escaped from custody which was prompted by his mistreatment.
- Fallen Hero: See All There in the Manual.
- Fantastic Racism: Seemingly against Vietnam veterans.
- Faux Affably Evil: He has a carefree attitude to the horrible acts he regularly commits.
- Green-Eyed Monster: See All There in the Manual.
- Gutted Like a Fish: In the book, when Teasle tries to shave Rambo, Rambo overpowers him and swipes the razor, then disembowels Galt when he reaches for his pistol.
- Hate Sink: Galt is easily one of the most despicable characters in the series. What with his sheer sadism and poor treatment of Rambo.
- Jerkass: By far the nastiest specimen out of the group hunting Rambo down, and thoroughly enjoys abusing prisoners under his watch at the county jail.
- Killer Cop: Tries to gun down Rambo in cold blood.
- The Neidermeyer: He was in the United States Marine Corps Infantry, but never saw combat and was stationed at Camp Lejune. It's very likely like his Korean War vet buddy Teasle who envies Rambo for putting him and other fellow Korean War vets in his shadow, he takes his sadism out on Vietnam vets like Rambo for being a vet who actually saw combat unlike Galt.
- Never My Fault: His mistreatment of Rambo was what caused him to snap and escape, assaulting Galt in the process. However, Galt never owe up to his mistake and tries to kill Rambo to retaliate for assaulting him.
- Police Brutality: His pointless cruelty is what caused Rambo to freak out and make a run for it in the first place.
- Psycho for Hire: He's sadistic and brutal when it comes to treating Rambo in incarceration and reckless when it comes to hunting him.
- Rabid Cop: He is downright sadistic and brutal when he mistreats Rambo and reckless during the manhunt for him when he doesn't give second thought to a Innocent Bystander in the way when trying to kill Rambo or Teasle's orders to capture Rambo alive.
- Schrödinger's Cast: He is a completely different character in the novel, more along the lines of in terms of physical appearance and personality of Deputy Mitch Rogers from the film version.
- Token Evil Teammate: While Teasle is the Big Bad and his deputies are his Mooks and they're Jerkasses too like Galt, they are actually Hero Antagonists due to their roles as police officers out to capture a fugitive from justice, however, Galt, due to his brutality against Rambo and his intent to hunt down and kill him, makes him the most corrupt and vile member of the sheriff's department.
Appeared in Rambo: First Blood Part II
Played by: Julia Nickson
- Action Girl: She later proves to be just as effect in a gunfight as Rambo is, and even just as cunning too.
- Big Damn Heroes: Co goes out of her way to single handedly save Rambo from his captors.
- Death by Sex: Rambo and Co was about to shared a moment. Not long after, she gets shot in the back.
- Designated Love Interest: The relationship between her and Rambo developed over the past hour in the film.
- The Mole: Co infiltrates the Vietcong camps as one of the service girls, and was the one who provided intel for John Rambo.
- Spared by the Adaptation: It's possible for Co to survive in the NES Rambo game, and if she does the ending will imply that Rambo returned to America and took Co with him.
- Stuffed into the Fridge: Co's death is what sparks Rambo's Roaring Rampage of Revenge at the end of the second film.
Lt. Col. Podovsky
Played by: Steven Berkoff
- Bigger Bad: Is the actual main villain of the second film.
- Dirty Communists: Served as a Lieutenant of the Soviet Army.
- Faux Affably Evil: He is rather calm and even delightful for a cruel, relentless Soviet Lieutenant.
- Large Ham: His fake Russian accent is definitely over the top.
- The Neidermeyer: He is a Dirty Communist officer.
- Soft-Spoken Sadist: Whether it is drowning you in mud, or launching dozens of missiles on a helicopter, he never raises his voice.
- Villain Ball: He tortures Rambo into deciding to give a demoralizing speech to his unit. Rambo instead calls out Murdoch and uses the mic to fight his way out.
Sgt. Yushin
Played by: Voyo Goric
- The Brute: Muscle bound, and loyal to Podovsky
- Dirty Communists: Served as a Sergeant of the Soviet Army.
- Disney Villain Death: Ends up getting knocked out of the helicopter Rambo attempted to hijack.
- The Dragon: Always beside his superior, and undyingly loyal.
- The Neidermeyer: He is a Dirty Communist NCO.
Appeared in Rambo III
Col. Alexei Zaysen
Played by: Marc de Jonge
- Big Bad: The villain behind the invasion of Afghanistan
- Colonel Badass: Does not even think twice before driving a combat helicopter against a tank!
- Dirty Communists: Like the Big Bad before him, he is also a superior within the Soviet Army.
- Lack of Empathy: He has no qualms with committing mass murder or Cold-Blooded Torture to get what he wants.
- The Neidermeyer: He is a Dirty Communist Sociopathic Soldier.
- Villainous Breakdown: He grows increasingly unhinged after constantly failing to kill Rambo.
Played by: Randy Ranney
- Beard of Evil: A full beard, and being all too eager to kill anyone who gets in his way.
- The Brute: Similar to Yushin, except he's all fat instead of muscle, but just as deadly!
- Dirty Communists: Like The Dragon before him, he is serving under his superior within the Soviet Army.
- The Dragon: Like Yushin, he is undyingly loyal to Zaysen.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: He walks around with a bandolier of grenades on him. That ends up being his own undoing.
- The Neidermeyer: He is a Dirty Communist soldier.
- Stuff Blowing Up: Rambo kills him by setting off his grenades and kicking him into a cave.
Appeared in (John) Rambo
Played by: Matthew Marsden
- Awesome, but Impractical: Schoolboy's .50-caliber sniper rifle, while cool, is very impractical for jungle warfare.
- Deadpan Snarker: "Try the decaf, mate."
- Friendly Sniper: He's quite cheerful and amiable when he'd not using his Barrett to pop SPDC troopers' heads like ripe melons.
- Nice Guy: The most decent and friendly member of the mercenaries.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Schoolboy's weapon of choice is a Barrett .50 calibur anti-material rifle, which was designed for disabling lightly-armored vehicles. Natrually, the effect such a large round has on a human body is rather horrific.
- Token Good Team Mate: The only unambigously kind-hearted and unselfish person in the band of mercenaries rescuing the missionaries.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: Averted; actually, he's the only idealistic character in the movie that still kicks ass.
Major Pa Tee Tint
Played by: Maung Maung Khin
- Actor Allusion: Inverted, as Maung Maung Khin is actually a member of the Karen rebellion. His character is based on SPDC officers he fought against, and unfortunately, none of Pa Tee Tint's nastiness is exaggerated.
- Beard of Evil: If one looks closely, he has a goatee.
- Big Bad: Of the fourth film.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Early in the fourth film, he tells parents of boys he kidnapped to recruit for his army to fear him along with hearing and believing him.
- Dirty Coward: Hides when the fighting starts (leaving his men to be slaughtered). When the battle's over, he runs for his life. The only time he ever even fires his weapon, is to shoot an unarmed missionary in the back.
- Depraved Homosexual: Is a pedophile with his only known victim being a young boy.
- Establishing Character Moment: In his first appearance, he forces civilians to run across a minefield before having his men kill them all. He gets even worse from there.
- Expy: Of Zaysen.
- Kick the Dog: He never stops.
- Kick the Son of a Bitch: watching Rambo gut him like a fish is the high point of the movie.
- Knight of Cerebus: He's more brutal, sadistic, psychotic and noticeably disturbing then the previous Big Bads or previous kinds of villains all together. He's the complete 180 degree contrast to the first film's Big Bad Hero Antagonist Teasle if comparing Tint's large amount of Kick the Dog acts to Teasle's large amount of Pet the Dog acts.
- The Neidermeyer: The most chilling and sadistic kind.
- Non-Action Big Bad: Unlike the other villains, he is shown running for his life and hides from the major battle going on at the end of the movie. The only time he adopts a combat pose is to shoot a fleeing, unarmed missionary in the back.
- Soft-Spoken Sadist: Always remains The Stoic, while committing war crimes.
- Sociopathic Soldier
- Unknown Rival: Somewhat subverted, he knew about the mercenaries and tortured them regardless, but he had no idea who Rambo was, or ever met him in person, until the latter gutted him. Upon seeing Rambo, the expression on his face was more confused than terrified of him.
- Villain Opening Scene: The movie starts with Tint and his army playing a sick betting game by forcing civilians to run through a marsh filled with landmines. When they make it safely across, his army guns down the civilians as Tint looks on. In the Director's Cut, however, this was moved to a much later time.
- Would Hurt a Child: Allows his men to massacre both adults and children and he himself even rapes them for his own sick kicks. Another complete contrast to the first film's Big Bad Teasle, who's resume in the DVD special features states him to have been a little league coach.
Played by: Julie Benz
- Attempted Rape: A soldier comes into her cell to rape her, but he's killed by Rambo.
- Break the Cutie: Still feel like helping people now?
- It's All My Fault: In a deleted scene, she admits to Rambo that she feels that everything that has happened is her fault as she convinced Rambo to take them into Burma.
- Morality Pet: For Rambo. She successfully guilts him into taking she and her colleagues upriver into Burma. She's the only one nice to him, and he's only "nice" to her.
- Only Sane Man: For the missionaries. She seems to be the only one to fully recognize the dangers they're facing, and understand the ugly necessity of Rambo's actions.

Former MeeGo VP Heads to Palm
All Things D says so.
John Paczkowski of All Things D reports that former Vice President, MeeGo Devices Ari Jaaksi has taken a job at Palm. Jaaksi left Nokia earlier this month citing personal reasons. According to Paczkowski Jaaksi was hired as senior vice president of webOS and will begin work in November.
At this time Jaaksi could not be reach for comment. Equally important, Paczkowski's story featured unnamed sources close to the company, so bear in mind. That said, All Things D has a solid track record with these things and the story makes sense. When we get confirmation from HP, Palm, or Jaaksi, himself, we'll update the story.

Works great 05/20/2014
This review is from: SuperNight® 44 key Button Wireless Controller IR Remote 12 V 20 Color RGB LED Light Strip Lamp
Many options, tons of colors.
One of the remotes I received (I ordered 2) had colors mixed up. Blue was really red, and visa versa on the remote.
Other Thoughts:
The reason I ordered this remote, was because the one that came with my standard LED was faulty. It went out after a day of use. The new ones I received work great, and have been doing so for well over a month now.
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Well that was ugly. Notre Dame's vaunted defense was no match for the onslaught that is the Crimson Tide as Alabama steamrolled the Fighting Irish 42-14 to capture its third BCS title in four years. Alabama drove right down the field on its opening drive and never looked back. It was 14-0 after one quarter and 28-0 at half. Notre Dame trailed 35-0 before finally getting on the board and ending Alabama's incredible 108 minute-long BCS title game shutout streak.

In addition to a traditional facelift, Dr. Gilbert Lee has perfected his Changes Rapid Lift which is a mid face and neck lift performed under local anesthetic for a fraction of the price of a regular facelift.
Frown Lines? No worries. Botox or Dysport will get you smiling!

Vamos a la playa! – Holiday at Spain's coasts
Spain | From the northern border with France down to the border with Portugal the areas of the Spanish Mediterranean coast string together: Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are just the most famous ones. Why don't you take a look at the atraveo offers along the Costa Dorada, Costa del Azahar, Costa Calida or Costa Tropical. The chances of finding the perfect holiday house are as good as it is on one of the two famous Spanish island groups, the Canary and Balearic Islands.
Spain offers everything you need for a great vacation at the seaside. Long beaches, kid's playing at the beach under gloriously blue skies whilst the parents enjoy the time out from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the tranquillity. A dip in the sea for cooling-off, an ice cream at the near-by kiosk or bathing in the sun on a comfy sun lounger.
Also the multi-faceted cultural life in Spain provides for entertainment. This does not only include the many interesting exhibitions and museums, such as the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao or the great museums in Valencia and Barcelona – but also party animals and night owls will get their money's worth.
Beside the Canary and Balearic Islands atraveo customers favour especially the Costa Blanca and Costa Brava as well as the region of Andalusia in the south and the area around Valencia.

Altynbekova was then lambasted by her coach for being too distracting to compete. Her coach Nurlan Sadikov told Tengrin News: "It's impossible to work like this. The crowd behaves like there is only one player at the championship."
As a result of the overwhelming amount of fake Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts set up dedicated to her, she had to issue a comment on her Instagram clarifying what accounts were the real ones for her fans to follow.
What does that last one even mean?

Speak to your charter broker
Each island is unique in character and charm offering many reasons to explore these stunning islands and islets. Mallorca, the largest of the islands has retained its original unspoiled charm, with wrought iron balconied buildings and attractive squares boasting a seductive appeal. The capital city, Palma de Mallorca is an unmissable stop. Often likened to a little Barcelona, Palma is blessed with excellent superyacht facilities, as well as some wonderful restaurants and bars. You only have to travel in a few miles inland to escape the hustle and bustle of the city life and discover a tranquil island of fruit trees, vineyards, and olive groves.
With more beaches than Mallorca and Ibiza combined, slow-paced Menorca offers many stunning opportunities to soak up the sun, with secluded coves and pellucid waters waiting to greet its visitors. With the greatest concentration of prehistoric monuments in the world, plus cobbled streets and fine architecture, Menorca is rich in enigmatic culture and full of historic beauty. The laid back atmosphere and fine cuisine allows for sumptuous relaxation with opportunities to meander around fig and olive trees which should not be missed.
Although often deemed as a party island, there is an alter ego to the island of Ibiza which appeals to many travellers, where towering cliffs beg to be jumped from into the rippling crystal clear waters. With some of the finest seafood restaurants and a serene atmosphere, explore the sandy beaches and stunning coastline of Ibiza before taking to the old town for a taste of the highlife.
Last but certainly not least is Formentera, the smallest of the four main islands which lies to the south of Ibiza. With beaches as far as the eye can see, Formentera is the Balearic Islands best kept secret. With more visitors arriving by private yacht the tranquil nature of this island is ideal for that 'get away from it all' feel.
The Balearic Islands are the ultimate charter sanctuary and the perfect place to experience the calm serenity the Mediterranean has to offer. Sustained by a tranquil climate, this awe-inspiring archipelago offers much more than just sun, sea and sand; the Balearic Islands are the ultimate Spanish island destination.
