The Grand Theft Auto World is a fictional world consisting of fictional places such as, Liberty City, Vice City, Carcer City, San Andreas and other fictional areas. We have to assume that the rest of the real world exists, but only matters if it is mentioned.
All the locations in the GTA III Era games (LC, VC, SA) exist in the same fictional universe, since characters crossed between them, and there are no contradictions. Liberty City from GTA III is replicated almost identically in GTA Liberty City Stories, but set at a different time to GTA III to account for the differences. Likewise with GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. GTA San Andreas also overlaps with Liberty City, as outlined below.
There is no information regarding their placement with regards to each other, except with the three cities in the state of San Andreas: Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas, and their surrounding countryside. However, in one mission in GTA San Andreas, the player could fly a plane eastwards overseas and arrive (by cutscene) in Liberty City. This relationship is similar to the real-world geographical placing of the states of California and Nevada (which San Andreas is based on) to New York (which Liberty City is based on).
However, outside of the GTA III era, the recurring locations are represented very differently. Liberty City appeared in GTA1 and GTA III with almost no similarities other than the city they were both based on - New York. GTA Liberty City Stories replicated the city again, but with the same style as GTA III. GTA IV is again based in Liberty City, and again has been created from scratch again.
These different versions of the locations have to be taken in good faith to be the same place (in the case of the GTA III era) or as a totally new place (with the other games). The overlaps that will occur between the Liberty City of the GTA III era and that of GTA IV are common to the series, not the location.
Liberty City
Liberty City, based on New York City, is a location that has appeared in GTA 1, GTA III, GTA Advance, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA IV. It is generally depicted as a large City with a sizeable population (4 million in GTA III), featuring a complete transportation infrastructure of roads and railways, and is located on a geographical configuration of shorelines and islands, similar to that of New York City. The city has been described as one suffering from crime and corruption, with the presence of organized crime, feuding street gangs, petty criminals, and rampant misconduct among city officials and law enforcement. The city has been voted the Worst Place in America.
Vice City
Vice City, based on Miami, Florida, is a city that appeared in GTA 1, GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. In the GTA III era games, it consists of two major islands and six smaller islands; both main islands separated by a large body of water similar to that of Biscayne bay (which separates Miami Beach With mainland Miami). Each major island is divided into several districts. The Population of Vice City is given at around 1.8 million. Unlike Liberty City and the state of San Andreas, however, Vice City has no railway or rapid transit systems, and all islands are connected by road and pedestrian bridges. While the city contains local taxicabs like other GTA cites, Vice City was the first city in the Series to offer functional taxicab services that sends the player directly to a single location at a fee, available in a specific mission (to a club) or when the player failed a mission as a result of being killed of arrested (to the last mission trigger, excluding phone missions). This "Later that day..." taxi function has been used in subsequent GTA games, including GTA San Andreas and GTA Liberty City Stories.
- See: Vice City or Vice City in GTA Vice City
San Andreas
San Andreas is fictional state in the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series or video games. To date There have been two incarnations of San Andreas:
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, San Andreas is a fictionalized American state based on the real states of California and Nevada. San Andreas appears as a series of large islands surrounded by water, but connected by a series of bridges. San Andreas is subdivided into three cites (Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas) and five counties (Red county, Flint county, Whetstone, Tierra Robada and Bone county). Details of this incarnation are below/
- In the original Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas is a level based on the city of San Francisco, California.
The cities of San Andreas in GTA San Andreas:
Los Santos
Los Santos is the largest city in San Andreas. It is based on real life Los Angeles County, Including areas based on Los Angeles, Long Beach, Inglewood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica Pier - among many others. It borders Red County to the south and Flint County to the east. It is hometown of Carl Johnson, Who returns from living in Liberty City for five years, after his brother informs his mother's death. After a deadly shootout under the Mulholland Intersection in Los Santos, Carl Johnson is dragged by Officers Tenpenny and Pulaski to the little town of Angel Pine. Los Santos also includes several fictional boroughs that resemble Cites in L.A. County such as Ganton (Compton), Idlewood (Inglewood) and Vinewood (Hollywood).
San Fierro
San Fierro is the smallest city in San Andreas. It is a fictional city based on the real city of San Francisco, California, With additional references of two Firth of Forth bridges in Edinburgh, Scotland (where the game was created) - The Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge.
San Fierro is located in the western part of San Andreas. South of the city lies the massive Mount Chiliad and the little town of Angel Pine in Whetstone County. North of the city lies the County of Tierra Robada. San Fierro is a moderately sized city with a bay to the north and the Panopticon to the east.
The city bears visible scars of an earthquake, a likely reference to the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, three years before the game takes place. However, news on the radio reported the aftermath of an earthquake early in the game, suggesting that a major earthquake that hit the State and the city had only occurred recently. One example of damage next to the Forth Road Bridge-look alike. Another example is underwater near the Gant Bridge where a crack in the Ocean surface is located (Many believe this is the San Andreas Fault, Which runs through real-Life San Francisco).
Las Venturas
Las Venturas is the second largest city, Based on Las Vegas, Nevada. Like its real life Counterpart, Las Venturas is a gambling city located in the desert region, with casinos such As The Camel's Toe and Caligula's Palace.
The city is also notable for its freeway system. The Julius Thru-Way is a freeway that Circles the whole city. Freeways from both Los Santos and San Fierro intersect with it. Another freeway is the Harry Gold Parkway, Which runs through the middle of the city and intersects twice with The Julius Thru-Way and then leads to Los Santos (Though its not called Harry Gold Parkway once it leaves the city).
At one point in the game, the game's protagonist, Carl Johnson, pulls off an Oceans Eleven-esque heist in the Caligula's Casino, subsequently fomenting relationships between Carl Johnson and Salvatore Leone.
Anywhere City
Anywhere City is the setting of Grand Theft Auto 2. It is presumably called this, as it is set in the near future, and doesn't bear any resemblance to any real life city in particular. It is divided into 3 separated parts - Commercial, Residential and Industrial.
Carcer City
Carcer City is a location featured in Rockstar's Manhunt. It is mused that Carcer City would exist in the same fictional world as the GTA games, because of overlaps and references within them. Apparently, through the 'Miles Traveled' system on the statistical screen on GTA IV, Carcer City is around 30 to 50 miles away from Liberty City.
London, England, was the city used in both the mission packs available for the original Grand Theft Auto - London 1969 and London 1961. To date, London is the only real-life city to be used in a GTA game, as all others have been fictional cities, most based on real American cities.
New Guernsey/Alderney
Used in the original Grand Theft Auto, (based on New Jersey) consisting of: Guernsey City (Jersey City), Fort Law (Fort Lee), Schlechberg (Gutenberg), Hackenslash (Hackensack) and Eaglewood (Englewood).
Also in Grand Theft Auto IV there is an area called Alderney, which is based on New Jersey.
Bohan this is based of Brooklyn
Dukes this is based of Queens
Mentioned Locations
These places are not featured in the games, but they are mentioned by characters, on billboards or on radio stations:
- Tokyo, China - Mentioned on the radio in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, based on Tokyo, Japan.
- Mars, Alabama - Fictional location mentioned, perhaps in jest, by Pastor Richards on Vice City Public Radio (VCPR) in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Dialogue is: "And I should know - I'm from Mars" "No you're not" "Uh... Mars, Alabama."
- Grand Canaria, Cayman Islands - Mentioned on the website of the Epsilon Program, said to be where the Founder Cris Formage resides. However, in real life, Grand Canaria is in the Canary Islands, not the Cayman Islands.
- Russia - Mentioned in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas by Toreno.
- Reddick, Florida - Mentioned in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on the radio station V-Rock. Lazlow states that the radio station is based in Reddick.
- Palermo, Sicily - Mentioned on Liberty Tree website.
- San Diego - Mentioned on the radio in GTA IV.
- Dominican Republic - Mentioned by Victor Vance, Vice City Stories as where his and Lance's father came from, early in the game Vic says, "D.R." when asked about his father.
- Bullworth - The fictional setting of the game Bully. Mentioned on television in GTA IV. The games protagonist Jimmy Hopkins also appears in GTA IV.

Ever since seeing the designs of the SCRAMBLE gear I have been truly excited by what is a new and refreshing BJJ/MMA brand - I have to agree with their design 'ethos' (?), in that MMA gear is full of skulls, flames, stupid words and generally is a bit naff. Almost becoming a stereotype of itself!!! (Google 'Piece of shit clothing' and you'll know what I mean!)
After pestering SCRAMBLE on their facebook group for weeks to find out when it would be in stock, my amazing GF bought it for me for Valentines day. It arrived this morning, so, I thought I'd treat you lucky people to a review!
I am not a professional writer, or any sort of writer for that matter, but here goes!!
Lets start off with the positives....
The design. Wow. Love it. FINALLY something unique, something that is almost too good to wear on the mat!
The colours are extremely vibrant, the print is clear and crisp and the 'white' colour is clean and fresh. Ignore my crappy pic colour, blame the iPhone camera, but it gives you an idea!
It feels like a limited edition piece of clothing and I think this is the case with most of their garments. The detailing and badging is sublime. In short, I love it!
Now the negatives....
Whilst I love the design, the colours and everything above, I am disappointed by the quality of the garment. The stitching on the rash guard feels very flimsy and the material itself is very very thin.
I have a Caged Steel rashguard (which cost me £10 in their sale) which is thicker and more solid, also a Vitamins and Minerals rashguard from Brazil which I bought in 2005 and is still as good as new. Its basically bullet proof and is probably twice as thick as the SCRAMBLE.
Whilst I'm not saying the thickness of the rashguard is the be all and end all, I doubt this one would have much of a life span; for £35 I would like to be reassured!
Secondly, the sizing. I am a curvaceous 5ft 9", 96kg, and the rash guard is XL (their biggest size). I am not shredded, but equally I am not a fat git .....Unfortunately, this rash guard makes me resemble a baby elephant that has been catapulted into a condom. Seems like Far Eastern sizing to me? Either way, not what I would call fit for purpose.
In conclusion, I still love it, but I'm still slightly disappointed with something I was genuinely looking forward to getting, and something which was actually different to the MMA crap out their, however I feel short changed.
I still love this brand, and will be buying more kit from them, but in a world full of MMA gear at similar pricing these smaller brands have to work hard to stand out from the crowd whilst still delivering on the core product purpose - that being a grappling rash guard!
However, the proof of the pudding (of which i have clearly eaten too many!) is in the eating so lets see how it holds up after a few weeks/months of rolling. 6/10.

Medtronic: Class 1 Recall – Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation Lead Kit and Activa Dystonia HDE Kit
AUDIENCE: Neurology, Nursing, Risk Manager, Surgery
ISSUE: Medtronic sent an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter to all affected customers notifying them of the potential for damage due to the use of the lead cap provided in DBS and Dystonia kits. Medtronic has received reports of DBS leads being damaged at the connector end of the lead when the lead cap is used. The connector end of the lead is the end of the lead connected to the lead extension. Tightening or loosening of the setscrew may twist the setscrew connector block and may damage the proximal connector end of the lead. If this happens, the damage would most likely occur at lead contact #3 which could affect electrode contact #3.Depending on the extent of lead damage and the need to use electrode #3, lead replacement may be required or optimal therapy may not be provided.
This recall covers 1,598 devices distributed in the United States between 04/2006 and 02/28/2013. Refer to the Recall Notice for a list of affected models.
BACKGROUND: The deep brain stimulation (DBS) system delivers electrical stimulation to selected targets in the brain. DBS leads are indicated for Dystonia, Essential Tremor, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy. Dystonia Therapy Kit is indicated for unilateral or bilateral stimulation of the internal globus pallidus or the subthalamic nucleus to aid in the management of chronic, intractable (drug refractory) primary dystonia including generalized and/or segmental dystonia, hemidystonia and cervical dystonia (torticollis).
RECOMMENDATION: If the lead cap is used during the implant procedure, customers should follow modified instructions (refer to the Urgent Medical Device Correction letter for details). For questions call Medtronic Neuromodulation Technical Services 1-800-707-0933. The firm is providing additional instructions for capping the lead and removing the lead cap and is not removing the product from market. There is no action required for existing patients in the absence of concern over potential lead damage.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
- Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm
- Download form or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178

Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh shares shock, sorrow over bandmate's death
Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh says he's "shocked and saddened" by the sudden death of Bob Casale, and adds that the guitarist will be "greatly" missed.
Mothersbaugh and Casale were founding members of Devo, which they formed with Bob's brother Gerald in the early '70s. Mark says in a statement that with Bob's passing he's not only lost a bandmate, but also a "great friend" and collaborator. He credits Casale as an "integral" part of Devo's sound, and a valuable contributor to Mutato Muzika, Mothersbaugh's music production company.
Mark says over the past two decades he and Bob teamed up to write music for "60 or 70 films and television shows, not to mention countless commercials and many video games" through Mutato. He adds that Bob was "instrumental in creating the sound of projects as varied as 'Rugrats' and Wes Anderson's films."
Bob passed away suddenly on Monday. His brother Gerald told TMZ Bob suffered from "health complications that led to heart failure." Bob was 61.
The Casale brothers were founding members of Devo along with Mothersbaugh. The post-punk new wave band is best known for the 1980 hit "Whip It." The band's last album, Something for Everyone was released in 2010.

Researchers randomly assigned 163 postmenopausal white women to receive a placebo (no active ingredients) or 400; 800; 1,600; 2,400; 3,200; 4,000; or 4,800 IU of vitamin D daily for one year. The women also were given calcium supplements, so that food and supplements together provided a total daily calcium intake between 1,200 and 1,400 mg.
All of the women were classified as vitamin D insufficient at the start of the study, meaning levels are too low for optimal health but not low enough to signal deficiency. Some important findings came out of this study:
The study suggests many women need no more than a daily 800 IU vitamin D supplement to bring levels into the normal, healthy range. The high blood and urine calcium seen in some of the participants may indicate too much vitamin D. These high levels occurred independent of the vitamin D dose, so it's impossible to know if D supplements, calcium supplements, or both caused these problems. Still, the fact that some of the women showed signs of getting too much D suggests supplements may not be safe for everyone.
The race/ethnicity of the participants is important to note as well. Although all humans can make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight of sufficient strength, people with more darkly pigmented skin make it more slowly. This means the study findings may not apply to Asian, Hispanic, African American, or other non-white women with darker skin. These people may need more vitamin D to ensure normal blood levels. As this study indicates, this may be true for obese women as well.
If you have concerns about whether you are getting enough vitamin D, consider an 800 IU daily D supplement, remembering that you may be getting more D than you realize from fortified foods such as dairy and cereals. Do not supplement with doses above 800 IU per day unless a doctor has had your levels tested.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act, with the following table of contents, may be cited as the "Social Security Amendments of 1967".
(a) Title IV of the Social Security Act is amended by inserting after part B (hereinafter added to such title by section 240 of this Act) the following material:
Page 1117
"SEC. 430. The purpose of this part is to require the establishment of a program utilizing all available manpower services, including those authorized under other provisions of law, under which individuals receiving aid to families with dependent children will be furnished incentives, opportunities, and necessary services in order for (1) the employment of such individuals in the regular economy, (2) the training of such individuals for work in the regular economy, and (3) the participation of such individuals in special work projects, thus restoring the families of such individuals to independence and useful roles in their communities. It is expected that the individuals participating in the program established under this part will acquire a sense of dignity, self-worth, and confidence which will flow from being recognized as a wage-earning member of society and that the example of a working adult in these families will have beneficial effects on the children of such families.
"SEC. 431. There is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare for each fiscal year a sum sufficient to carry out the purposes of this part. The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare shall transfer to the Secretary of Labor from time to time sufficient amounts, out of the moneys appropriated pursuant to this section, to enable him to carry out such purposes.
"SEC. 432. (a) The Secretary of Labor (hereinafter in this part referred to as the Secretary) shall, in accordance with the provisions of this part, establish work incentive programs (as provided for in subsection (b)) in each State and in each political subdivision of a State in which he determines there is a significant number of individuals who have attained age 16 and are receiving aid to families with dependent children. In other political subdivisions, he shall use his best efforts to provide such programs either within such subdivisions or through the provision of transportation for such persons to political subdivisions of the State in which such programs are established.
"(b) Such programs shall include, but shall not be limited to, (1) a program placing as many individuals as is possible in employment, and utilizing on-the-job training positions for others, (2) a program of institutional and work experience training for those individuals for whom such training is likely to lead to regular employment, and (3) a program of special work projects for individuals for whom a job in the regular economy cannot be found.
"(c) In carrying out the purposes of this part the Secretary may make grants to, or enter into agreements with, public or private agencies or organizations (including Indian tribes with respect to Indians on a reservation), except that no such grant or agreement shall be made to or with a private employer for profit or with a private nonprofit employer not organized for a public purpose for purposes of the work experience program established by clause (2) of subsection (b).
"(d) Using funds appropriated under this part, the Secretary, in order to carry out the purposes of this part, shall utilize his authority under the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962, the Act of June 6, 1933, as amended (48 Stat. 113), and other Acts, to the extent such authority is not inconsistent with this Act.
Page 1118
"(e) The Secretary shall take appropriate steps to assure that the present level of manpower services available under the authority of other statutes to recipients of aid to families with dependent children is not reduced as a result of programs under this part.
"SEC. 433. (a) The Secretary shall provide a program of testing and counseling for all persons referred to him by a State, pursuant to section 402, and shall select those persons whom he finds suitable for the programs established by clauses (1) and (2) of section 432(b). Those not so selected shall be deemed suitable for the program established by clause (3) of such section 432(b) unless the Secretary finds that there is good cause for an individual not to participate in such program.
"(b) The Secretary shall develop an employability plan for each suitable person referred to him under section 402 which shall describe the education, training, work experience, and orientation which it is determined that each such person needs to complete in order to enable him to become self-supporting.
"(c) The Secretary shall make maximum use of services available from other Federal and State agencies and, to the extent not otherwise available on a nonreimbursable basis, he may reimburse such agencies for services rendered to persons under this part.
"(d) To the extent practicable and where necessary, work incentive programs established by this part shall include, in addition to the regular counseling, testing, and referral available through the Federal-State Employment Service System, program orientation, basic education, training in communications and employability skills, work experience, institutional training, on-the-job training, job development, and special job placement and followup services, required to assist participants in securing and retaining employment and securing possibilities for advancement.
"(e) (1) In order to develop special work projects under the program established by section 432(b)(3), the Secretary shall enter into agreements with (A) public agencies, (B) private nonprofit organizations established to serve a public purpose, and (c) Indian tribes with respect to Indians on a reservation, under which individuals deemed suitable for participation in such a program will be provided work which serves a useful public purpose and which would not otherwise be performed by regular employees.
"(2) Such agreements shall provide—
"(A) for the payment by the Secretary to each employer a portion of the wages to be paid by the employer to the individuals for the work performed;
"(B) the hourly wage rate and the number of hours per week individuals will be scheduled to work on special work projects of such employer;
"(C) that the Secretary will have such access to the premises of the employer as he finds necessary to determine whether such employer is carrying out his obligations under the agreement and this part; and
"(D) that the Secretary may terminate any agreement under this subsection at any time.
"(3) The Secretary shall establish one or more accounts in each State with respect to the special work projects established and maintained pursuant to this subsection and place into such accounts the amounts paid to him by the State agency pursuant to section 402(a)(19)(E). The amounts in such accounts shall be available for the payments specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2). At the end of each fiscal year and for such period of time as he may establish, the
Page 1119
Secretary shall determine how much of the amounts paid to him by the State agency pursuant to section 402(a)(19)(E) were not expended as provided by the preceding sentence of this paragraph and shall return such unexpended amounts to the State, which amounts shall be regarded as overpayments for purposes of section 403(b)(2).
"(4) No wage rates provided under any agreement entered into under this subsection shall be lower than the applicable minimum wage for the particular work concerned.
"(f) Before entering into a project under any of the programs established by this part, the Secretary shall have reasonable assurances that—
"(1) appropriate standards for the health, safety, and other conditions applicable to the performance of work and training on such project are established and will be maintained,
"(2) such project will not result in the displacement of employed workers,
"(3) with respect to such project the conditions of work, training, education, and employment are reasonable in the light of such factors as the type of work, geographical region, and proficiency of the participant,
"(4) appropriate workmen's compensation protection is provided to all participants.
"(g) Where an individual, referred to the Secretary of Labor pursuant to section 402(a)(19)(A) (i) and (ii) refuses without good cause to accept employment or participate in a project under a program established by this part, the Secretary of Labor shall (after providing opportunity for fair hearing) notify the State agency which referred such individual and submit such other information as he may have with respect to such refusal.
"(h) With respect to individuals who are participants in special work projects under the program established by section 432(b)(3), the Secretary shall periodically (but at least once every six months) review the employment record of each such individual while on such special work project and on the basis of such record and such other information as he may acquire determine whether it would be feasible to place such individual in regular employment or on any of the projects under the programs established by section 432(b) (1) and (2).
Approved, January 2, 1968.

Executive MBA Ranked #1 in Poland
On June 16, 41 proud students graduated as the 14th class of the Warsaw-Illinois Executive MBA program, the # 1 ranked program in Poland.
For the past five consecutive years, the Executive MBA program has been ranked #1 by an influential Polish weekly business magazine. As its name implies, the Executive MBA program is designed to meet the needs of managers who pursue an MBA while continuing to work full time. The program content is nearly identical to the College of Business Executive MBA program offered in Chicago (and also taught in English), and both world-class programs offer challenging content, placing high demands on participants and faculty.
Warsaw Executive MBA Graduates receive an MBA from the University of Illinois and a Certificate of Postgraduate Studies in Management and Marketing from the University of Warsaw in Poland. Half of the coursework is taught by Warsaw faculty and half by faculty from the College who travel to Warsaw, typically about six professors per cohort.
Susan Cohen, director of the Warsaw EMBA for the University of Illinois, and an associate professor of business administration, has taught statistics in the program for three of the 13 years it has been in existence, but has had contact with the program and its faculty and administrators since the 1990s. "It is a privilege to work in a program with people who have such a sense of ownership and loyalty to making it successful," Cohen said. "The students can sense this," she added.
Since the program started in 1994, Cohen said she is amazed at how much things have changed in Warsaw. "Not many of our early students were working for multi-national companies," she said. "But now this is certainly the norm and the class is very-well traveled."
Last year's June 2007 class was the biggest class, with 41 graduates, and a class of equal size is expected this year. Based on the applicants to date, Cohen said next year's class should again be top-notch.

Tactical Success for Multiplatform Endpoint Security
The new edge of the organizational network is now often found in mobile devices – handsets, tablets, and notebook PCs – that are increasingly owned by end-users themselves. This BYOD paradigm has many quantifiable benefits, to be sure, but also introduces new challenges in securing the network and sensitive data, as well as in maintaining the integrity of the network and other IT elements and supporting what could be a (very) large and complex array of devices.
This Security School lesson will break down those challenges and help you develop an overarching security strategy that cuts across the myriad threats and multiplicity of platforms now facing your organization.

The arrival in Europe of Adnan Oktar's great Atlas of Creation has led to serious panic among materialists and Darwinists across the continent. They say that the Atlas of Creation, which they say bears no resemblance to any other work opposed to evolution they have previously seen, is far more of a threat from the point of view of their own intellectual systems than all other anti-Darwinist works to date; so much so, in fact, that they have even tried to ban the book.
There is no doubt that this panic is the most significant proof of the truth and importance of the information in the Atlas. The scientific findings in the book, which demolish evolution, has led many Europeans to realize that for years they have been deceived. For example, one recent poll by the French Science Actualités has revealed that 92% of people do not believe that man came into being by way of evolution, while only 5% believe in evolution.
Europeans, who have begun to realize that evolution is a myth resulting from the primitive conditions of the 19th century, have now seen, with considerable supporting evidence, that Creation has been proved. This intellectual enlightenment beginning in Europe has created serious unease among materialist, atheist and Darwinist circles. One of the latest indications of this unease is the report drawn up by the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly's Committee on Culture, Science and Education. This document, "The Dangers of Creationism in Education," was drawn up by the French socialist Guy Lengagne. Their despair in the face of the evidence that evolution is unscientific is plain to see in just about every line of this report.
(Direct extracts from this report are cited below. Certainly God and believers are free from any of the statements therein that are unobservant of due respect and reverence.)
1- The committee set out how belief in evolution has declined and more people have accepted the fact of Creation in Europe in recent years:
Article 2
… Today creationist theories are tending to find their way into Europe and their spread is affecting quite a few Council of Europe member states.
2- The reason for the attempts to keep Darwinism alive is the supposed scientific support it provides for materialism. The collapse of Darwinism means the loss of one of the main foundations of materialism and atheism. Indeed, the report describes how the teaching of Creation has undermines a world view "patiently built up" over many years, in other words materialism:
Article 5
We are witnessing a growth of modes of thought which, the better to impose religious dogma, are attacking the very core of the knowledge that we have patiently built up on nature, evolution, our origins and our place in the universe.
3- There is evident concern in the report that young people are beginning to see the truth. What is referred to as "mental confusion" is in fact mental alertness. Minds that have been paralyzed by materialist propaganda, deceived by evolutionist lies, and taught to think in only one way, are now beginning to think without prejudice and to see that evolution is not supported by science:
Article 6
There is a real risk of A SERIOUS CONFUSION being introduced into our children's minds… [emphasis added]
4- The way that people are beginning to harbor doubts about the theory of evolution, which has been depicted as incontrovertible fact for the last 150 years, is one of the most important indications of the collapse of evolution. When those who feel such justified suspicions begin to research and investigate the subject a little more deeply they will realize how they have for years been deceived by the myth of evolution. That is the reason for Darwinists' alarm:
Article 9
… By these means creationists … sow doubt and confusion in their minds.
5- The report states that this is the first time that Europe's materialist culture has faced such a serious threat. This, is turn, is proof the accuracy and force of the information contained in the Atlas of Creation. The information in the book has led to materialists taking wide-ranging precautionary measures for the very first time:
Article 17
Investigation of the creationists' growing influence shows that the arguments between creationism and evolution go well beyond intellectual debate. If we are not careful, the values that are the very essence of the Council of Europe will be under direct threat from creationist fundamentalists. It is part of the role of the Council's parliamentarians to react before it is too late.
6- The low number of believers in Darwinism in English-speaking countries such as the United States and Australia is a fact that makes Darwinists very uneasy:
Article 37
Nevertheless, creationism (or neocreationism) is still well-developed in the English-speaking countries, especially the United States and Australia. … In July 2005, the Pew Research Center conducted a poll that showed that 64% of Americans favoured the teaching of intelligent design alongside the theory of evolution and that 38% would support the total abandonment of the teaching of evolution in publicly owned schools. ... At the moment, 20 of the 50 American states are facing potential adjustments of their school curricula in favour of intelligent design.
7- However, the real cause for panic among materialists is the fact that Europe's Darwinism-based materialist culture is about to disappear. In the eyes of materialists, works revealing the invalidity of materialism represent the most serious "threat" on the European agenda.
Article 38
Many people think that this phenomenon only affects the United States and that, even if it is not possible to be indifferent to what is happening on the other side of the Atlantic, it is not the Council of Europe's role to deal with this issue. That, however, is not the case. On the contrary, it would seem crucial for us to take the appropriate precautions in our 47 member states.
8- One of the subjects that Darwinists are particularly concentrating on is the intellectual activity carried out by Muslims since the 1980s that intellectually demolishes Darwinism.
Article 39
Alongside Christian creationism there is now Muslim creationism: the creationist arguments of Christian origin became popular among the Muslims with the rise of the Islamist movements at the beginning of the 1980s.
9- Adnan Oktar's Atlas of Creation is regarded as particularly dangerous for Darwinism. This book has reached many European countries and has led to serious panic among Darwinists:
Article 40
… As a result, we have seen several initiatives from these various movements on the Eurasian continent in the last few years, with schools apparently the main target. The beginning of 2007 saw an offensive by the Turkish creationist Harun Yahya, who sent his last and very lavish work, entitled "The Atlas of Creation", which claims to denounce the deception of the theory of evolution, to a large number of French, Belgian, Spanish and Swiss schools.…
10- The effects in Europe of the Atlas of Creation and in Turkey of Adnan Oktar's other works undermining Darwinism are set out in other paragraphs of the report:
Article 54
The Turkish Islamist preacher Harun Yahya, whose real name is Adnan Oktar, is one of the most symbolic figures of this movement. He is around fifty years old and has been publishing works on creation or religion for about twenty years. He also has his own publishing house, Global, the head office of which is in Istanbul. In 1991, Oktar set up the science and research foundation Bilim Arastirma Vakfi (BAV). Since its establishment, BAV has been very active in trying to have any reference to evolution removed from Turkish education. It also organises many conferences on creationism in the principal Turkish towns and cities. …
Article 55
The latest work by Harun Yahya appeared in December 2006 and is entitled "The Atlas of Creation". It is a large book and is the first volume of a series of seven. It attempts to refute Darwinism and the theory of evolution in 772 richly illustrated pages. Its conclusion is clear: "creation is a fact" and "evolution is a deception". Moreover, the author sharply condemns "the secret links between Darwinism and the ideologies with blood on their hands, such as fascism and communism". At the beginning of 2007 Yahya launched an offensive aimed at the mass distribution of his work in Europe and throughout the world.
In France:
The Harun Yahya offensive: In early 2007, the Turkish creationist Harun Yahya sent his work entitled "The Atlas of Creation" to a very large number of French schools and resource centres. …
11- Devoid of any scientific response to the contents of the Atlas of Creation, Darwinists are employing a Medieval mentality and trying to ban the book. The fact is, however, that ideas cannot be stopped by banning them. In fact, it is because they have seen that the collapse of evolution cannot be prevented that is causing such panic among European materialists.
Article 57
… In response, the Minister of Education, Gilles de Robien, called on chief education officers to ensure that this book "which does not correspond to the content of the curricula drawn up by the Ministry, is not available at school resource centres". Hervé LeGuyader, Professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Paris VI, was tasked by the General National Education Inspectorate with producing a detailed analysis of this atlas. …
12- It is because this is the first time that they have encountered a book so effectively demolishing evolution with full supporting evidence that has so shocked Darwinists. The fact that the information contained in the book is irrefutable has stunned Darwinists, who admit as much themselves:
Article 57
… He [Hervé LeGuyader] considers the book to be "MUCH MORE DANGEROUS than the previous creationist initiatives, which were often of Anglo-Saxon origin". He believes that … the method employed by the author could "PROVE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE in the case of an uninformed public. … [emphasis added]
13- The position is the same in many other European countries. The Atlas of creation has arrived in many countries. Faced by the concrete evidence in the Atlas of Creation and unable to provide and scientific response, Darwinists are trying to have the book banned.
Article 59
The activities of Harun Yahya in French-speaking Switzerland: In March 2007, a very large number of schools in French-speaking Switzerland also received Harun Yahya's work "The Atlas of Creation". …
Article 63
Creationist attempt at infiltration into Belgian schools: After France, and parallel to the offensive conducted in Switzerland, Harun Yahya launched the distribution of his Atlas of Creation in Belgium in March 2007. In a circular letter dated 22 March 2007, Marie Arena, the Minister in charge of compulsory education and social development, warned "all education staff against the values promoted by this document" and went on to say that she was "counting on everyone being VIGILANT [...] to ensure that it (could) in no way constitute an educational tool for the pupils' use" [emphasis added]
Article 74
One month after France, Mr Yahya's Atlas of Creation was received by some professors in the biology faculty of the University of Barcelona and by the university library.
14- The end of the report again emphasizes how materialist European culture is under severe threat. The way that Darwinism is supported out of ideological concerns is evident. What the report is referring to in the words "react before it is too late" is concern over the complete demolition of Darwinism, and thus the complete eradication of materialism.
Article 104
A detailed study of the GROWING INFLUENCE OF THE CREATIONISTS shows that the discussions between creationism and evolutionism go well beyond intellectual disputes. If we are not careful, the values that are the very essence of the Council of Europe will be in danger of being directly threatened by the creationist fundamentalists. It is part of the role of the Council's parliamentarians to react before it is too late. [emphasis added]

Rochester Amerks cope with roster, coaching changes (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle)

Tuesday's Rochester Coverage
Rochester Amerks cope with roster, coaching changes (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle)
Grigorenko works to get up to speed with Sabres
'"Right now, it's more his pace," Rolston said. "The pace I think is what he struggles with at times, when it picks up and the tempo picks up. He's got the ability. You see his hands, his vision. But when the tempo gets jumped up a little bit is where he's going to have to make improvements."'
Grigorenko needs ice time to develop
'The kid is the future; he might as well learn in games. It's not as if the veterans are setting the league on fire (captain Jason Pominville rose to the crisis by scoring one point in nine games). Rolston could move Tyler Ennis back to wing and put Grigorenko at center on the second line.'
Ruff will have plenty of options at his disposal
'The old guard still runs the NHL, and Ruff's an old-school guy, having spent all but two of the last 34 years in the big leagues as a player, an assistant coach and a head coach. He knows everyone in the game and everyone knows him.'
Sabres have pathetic repeat
'Only 1,000 or so in the sellout crowd of 19,070 stuck around until the end, and based on the noise they did so only to jeer.'
Miller turns into slugger at game's end
'"He just said 'hi,' " Miller said. "Pretty sure he didn't want to share that shutout."'
'Rolie the Goalie' reinvented himself
'Roloson harbors no ill feelings toward the Sabres, by the way, for mistreating him. He said they did him a favor. They forced him to find strength and competitiveness that he didn't know existed. He also became an example for young athletes, starting with his two sons, because he kept battling to the end.'
Sabres blink first again versus Isles, drop to last in Eastern Conference
'When things go bad, the emotion starts leaving the Sabres and they can't recover.'
Grigorenko plays little in return; Leino feeling better, wants Sabres to have 'higher demands'
'"It's disappointing," Leino said. "It's not the coach always. A lot of times it's players and everything else, too. … We're trying to make it better. We're doing moves to make things better. … We want to win. We're doing everything we can. It's pro hockey, and we got to demand more out of coaches, players – out of everybody."'

We haven't seen the last of Lindy Ruff
'Much of his M.O. though is because of that longevity. Now, with 571 regular-season victories with one franchise, Ruff becomes the NHL's most coveted free agent. The seat holding every coach guiding a struggling team has gotten a little hotter. If Ruff is the man you may eventually want running your bench, can you really afford to wait and let another team grab him first?'
Nabokov stops 35 in Islanders' 4-0 win over Sabres
'Fans started booing late in the second period, when the Sabres fell behind 2-0. By the third, they turned their angry attention to general manager Darcy Regier, by chanting: "Goodbye, Darcy!"'
NY Islanders 4, Buffalo 0
'"You're not going to win games not scoring," Rolston admitted. "Still stretches playing some decent hockey and mistakes that are costly."'
Sabres Listless in 4-0 Loss to Islanders
'Buffalo was booed off the ice for the second time in as many home games.'
Sabres just looking to find something to make them better
'When you watch this team, they are who they are, and I'm not sure what Ron Rolston or any other coach can do about it. It's a soft, mentally weak group and always has been. If Rolston can get that trait out of them, he should win the Jack Adams Trophy.'

Old enough to be used
Young enough to be broken
Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn't let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped.
But that was only the beginning for Sassinak. Now she's a Fleet Captain with a pirate-chasing ship of her own, and only one regret in her life: not enough pirates.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Really bad narration"
A different narrator who can pronounce words correctly. I spent 2/3's of my time trying to figure out what he was saying, and I've read the book in print!
The story is great. I have read it in print several times.
Anybody else. Susan Ericksen, Sally Darling, Gregory St. John, Nick Podehl.
I don't think I'd cut any of them. They all play a purpose.
Gah. The narrator totally ruined this one for me.
"Naration needs help"
The narration was so poor it was hard to follow the story
If he read in complete sentences it would help. Pauses after a couple words each time instead of with the sentences.
"This is not book 1"
This is actually Book 2. The correct order of this series is
Death of Sleep #1
Sassinak #2
Generation Warrior #3
"I hoped for better; I didn't get it."
Once again I am disappointed by the newly published audiobook of an old favorite sf/f book. Maybe Audible Frontiers needs a bit more in their budget for narrators.
Ax Norman did a passable job of reading the book. He did not feature any differing voices for the different characters. Toward the end of the book he began to waver in how he pronounced names - maybe he was getting tired. And Mr Norman's rhythm varied a lot, sometimes fast when it should have been slow and vice-versa.
It was perhaps only my many re-readings of this book that made me hope for better, and that I differed with how Mr Norman chose to pronounce names. The title character in particular, I've always thought of as SASS-ih-nak, not Sah-SIN-ik. Sadly, we can't ask Ms McCaffrey.
I won't be buying any sequels as audiobooks, and definitely not any of Mr Norman's other recordings. In 2013, I've come to expect multiple voices, consistent pronunciations, and timing that suits the story.
"Good Sci-Fi"
Read this a long time ago, enjoyed it then and enjoyed listening to it. Good story telling.
"Good writing, interesting character"
I like the writing styles of both Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon. I knew of McCaffrey first from her Pern books. Sassinak was one of my introductions to Elizabeth Moon who quickly became one of my favourites. The Audible version of Sassinak is actually my third copy of the book with the other two much loved in years of re-reading long ago. I bought the Audible to "re-read" and enjoy again.
The narrator has a nice vocal tone but doesn't do any voicing for the various characters. The reading tone of all character's speaking is the same as the narration. This can make it difficult to follow a conversation between characters if there is no 'he said', 'she said' narration. I would not choose another book based solely on him being the reader. I likely would not get a new-to-me book if he's the narrator since the lack of characterization could be confusing if I didn't already know some of the overall story.
There are moments of humor in the story, but it's not a comedy. There are some emotional parts to the story, especially in the early part of the book in Sassinak's youth.
"Great book"
I know that Elizabeth Moon's later books are technically better but this is a book that when I read it in Jr high really spoke to me and I am thrilled to be able to get it as an audio book. It is amazing how forward thinking it is having been written in I think the late 1970s or early 1980s.
"Avoid this version at all costs!"
I approached this audiobook with anticipation as it was a frequent re-read when I could still see. In reference to the above stars, the Performance only received one star because I could not give it a zero. I hold both the producer and the reader to blame. The poor Sassinak (Sas-IN-ik) could not pronounce Sassinak (SAS-in-AK). This completely disrupts my ability to enjoy the story. To be fair, I jumped the early part of the book to where Sass went to school as a freed slave, seeking my favorite part of the book. I could not stomach it for any length of time.
I find the treatment of this entire series in audio format to be distressing. Dinosaur Planet and Dinosaur Planet Survivors do not seem to be available. Sassinak is poorly produced and Generation Warriors, which concludes the series, is a disasterous abridged version which leaves out almost 3/4 of the story. I truely lament this situation, as Dinosaur Planet was the first Anne McCaffery book I read back in my teen years.
"Mostly a good performance"
Yes -- I've enjoyed the story a number of times over the years.
The most glaring problem is that the narrator doesn't know that the word "pinnace" means "a small boat, with sails or oars, forming part of the equipment of a warship or other large vessel" while "pinnacle" means "a high, pointed piece of rock". If the narrator doesn't know the difference in meaning between these two words he should, perhaps, seek further education or, alternatively, stay away from military scifi.
great story that was easy to get in to, fantastic characters! 4th time reading this trilogy!

David Crosby undergoes heart surgery
Listen to David Crosby on iHeartRadio
David Crosby underwent a cardiac catheterization on Friday following a routine cardiac stress test.
His left anterior coronary artery was found to be 90 percent blocked, and two stents were placed to improve blood flow to his heart. It is a routine procedure, and he is expected to make a full recovery.
Crosby's spokesman says he did not have a heart attack, though it is certain that he was at risk for one had he not followed his doctor's advice.
Crosby, who was on tour in support of his new album, Croz, says, "I am very glad that I listened to my doctors and my family. It seems I am once again a very lucky man. I'm sorry to have to move the dates, but I promise the music will be good when we do play them."
He was scheduled to play this Thursday and Friday at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Those dates have now been rescheduled for April 20th and 21st. The five sold-out shows at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California scheduled for February 23rd through the 28th will also be rescheduled in April. The Crosby, Stills and Nash tour in March will go on as planned.

"He told me Andrew had tried to bilk $50 million out of Mrs. Mellon," said Toben.
Michelle gives a tip of the hat to the Kennedy-era gardening of famed heiress Rachel "Bunny" Mellon.
"He would just sit in front of us, staring at us and kind of doing this really slow pant in our face," Mellon says.
I was told to cash the [Mellon] checks and that's what I did.
"The original idea was for Jimmy to design the collection, and I would run the operations of the business," Mellon said.
Chief Pasteur walked over to where Mellon lay and took his stethoscope out of his little black bag.
He may even have suggested it to Mellon after Mellon had taken a dose of the drugged wine.
The voice is the voice of Mellon but the hand is the hand of Gilbert.
Mrs. Mellon was on the platform clasping a fan in her gloved hands.
Captain Mellon, who had entered the military service of the United States in 1812, fell early in the action.

FOX's Wilson miscast DeLay aides' prosecutor as a partisan Democrat
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
FOX News Channel correspondent Brian Wilson echoed allegations by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) that the September 21 indictments of three top aides to DeLay by Ronnie Earle, district attorney in Travis County, Texas, were politically motivated. But evidence shows otherwise.
"This has been a dragged out, 500-day investigation and you do the political math," DeLay said, according to a September 21 Associated Press report. On the September 21 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume, Wilson reported that "some say" Earle is "the most partisan Democrat in the state of Texas" and that "a good DA [district attorney] can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich":
WILSON: Now, Ronnie Earle, the DA [district attorney] who conducted this probe, is one of the most powerful, some say the most partisan Democrat in the state of Texas. As district attorney of Travis County [Texas], he can investigate anything that pertains to the state capital. It is often said in Texas that a good DA can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. And Earle is a pretty good DA who works before a largely Democratic grand jury. Earle once brought charges against Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Republican, only to have the case thrown out later by a judge.
But a March 17* editorial in the Houston Chronicle noted: "During his long tenure, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle has prosecuted many more Democratic officials than Republicans. The record does not support allegations that Earle is prone to partisan witch hunts."
This assertion supports Earle's own claim about his record. From a March 6 article in the El Paso Times: "Earle says local prosecution is fundamental and points out that 11 of the 15 politicians he has prosecuted over the years were Democrats."
On June 17, the Associated Press reported: "A county prosecutor [Earle] already investigating House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's fund-raising committee for alleged campaign finance violations is looking into similar allegations involving Democratic Rep. Martin Frost."
A January 30, 1994, New York Times article reported that Earle was investigating a Democrat, then-Texas assistant attorney general Gary Bledsoe, on charges similar to those he brought against Hutchison.
In a February 6, 1994, article about Hutchison's case, The Washington Post reported that in 1983, Earle had indicted then-Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox on felony bribery charges. Mattox was Hutchison's challenger in her 1994 Senate reelection bid.

|What can I expect?
It's not unusual to feel unsure about going to your first Al‑Anon meeting. Many long-time Al‑Anon members still remember how reluctant they were to go to that meeting. They felt vulnerable, at a difficult time in their lives. But they found understanding and support there, and were glad they went.
An Al-Anon member recalls what her first meeting was like.
Listen to some Al-Anon members discuss several of the questions that newcomers have about attending meetings.
What do you wish you knew about Al-Anon?
Here are a few things to keep in mind at your first meeting
Al‑Anon is a mutual support group. Everyone at the meeting shares as an equal. No one is in a position to give advice or direction to anyone else. Everyone at the meeting has experienced a problem with someone else's drinking.
You are free to ask questions or to talk about your situation at your first meeting. If you'd rather just listen, you can say "I pass," or explain that you'd just like to listen.
Every meeting is different. Each meeting has the autonomy to be run as its members choose, within guidelines designed to promote Al‑Anon unity. Al‑Anon recommends that you try at least six different meetings before you decide if Al‑Anon will be helpful to you.
Al‑Anon is not a religious program. Even when the meeting is held in a religious center, the local Al‑Anon group pays rent to that center and is not affiliated in any way with any religious group. Your religious beliefs—or lack of them—are not a subject for discussion at Al‑Anon meetings, which focus solely on coping with the effects of someone's drinking. Here's how one Al‑Anon member found the "Higher Power" of his own understanding.
It will take some time to fully understand the significance of anonymity to the Al‑Anon program. But at its simplest level, anonymity means that the people in the room will respect the confidentiality of what you say and won't approach you outside the room in a way that compromises your privacy or the privacy of anyone who attended an Al‑Anon meeting.
The meeting will likely begin with a reading of the Twelve Steps of Al‑Anon. It will take some time to fully understand how the Twelve Steps can be a helpful tool in recovering from the effects of someone's drinking. But Al‑Anon gives you the opportunity to grow at your own pace.
Members tell how Al-Anon worked for them
|What do members say?
How did I feel at my first Al-Anon meeting?

This is the gift collection of gourmet sweets from the Prestat Chocolate Company, a 35-year holder of the Royal Warrant to Her Majesty the Queen. Because the royal family bestows the Royal Warrant of Appointment only on suppliers whose goods it uses personally, epicureans consider it a mark of the highest quality. Prestat, founded by a French chocolatier in 1902, famously popularized the truffle, represented here in this gift collection by a box of sea salt caramels encased in 70% cocoa chocolate. The box also includes a 37% milk chocolate bar, a 71% dark chocolate bar, a dark chocolate raspberry bar, a signature "Jewel Box" of nine beautifully handcrafted truffles, and a box of white chocolate thins infused with Japanese green matcha tea and a splash of Earl Grey. 4" H x 12" W x 10" D.

A Valentine Hit!
By Her Knight In Shining Armour
from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Best Uses
A box of chocolate on Valentine's Day is traditional but THIS box made the day a smash hit! She was absolutely gleeful as she sorted through the box's contents and it took her a long time to decide what to eat first. It is so rich she says she can only eat a few bites at a time, but never fails to comment on the nigh-decadent taste and quality. I hope H. S. keeps this around for next year!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A gift a la Marie Antoinette
By Honneke
from Alberta, Canada
What is so great about this gift is that it is one of those once-a-year type gifts, so Christmas is a perfect occasion, especially to give to some who seem to have nearly everything already. In my case one is for a lady doctor, the other for an accountant. I know they both love very fine chocolates so I am anticipating compliments
Best chocolate!
By MeraD
from Bloomington, IN
Amazing chocolate collection in a beautiful gift box. Truly royal!

I am looking to get a bigger vehicle sometime in 2013. I'd like it to have an optional third row and definitely needs to have 4wd. I've been checking out the Honda Pilot and am not sure what else is out there? The Pilot seems like a pretty good option price and options wise, but I'd like more input.
Does anyone have one or know someone who has a larger vehicle like this? Is the third row worth it for hauling around extra people, especially friends with kids and carseats? Is it hard to get into the third row?
I'm really not wanting a minivan, especially since I don't think many of them have 4wd.

Ten things my students chose to write about for their position papers:
1. Puppy mills. This student went ahead with this despite my recommendations that she choose another topic. The standard for a topic was that reasonable people could disagree about the issue, and she admitted that reasonable people could not defend the heinous practices of puppy mills and yet, there it was, a paper arguing against the heinous practices of puppy mills. Sigh.
2. Electric Vehicles. This one wasn't so bad, though it was boring to read.
3. Abortion. Natch. This paper was horrendous; it was all I could do to figure out what the student was trying to say.
4. Electroshock therapy. While this student started off strong, the paper fell apart about a quarter of the way in; he focused more on the history of the practice than on arguing that the way it's currently being applied should be reconsidered.
5. Animal testing. This paper was completely incomprehensible. Observe, a cut-and-pasted paragraph from the essay:
Martasian (student's beliefs about animal research) found that students have more negative attitudes towards animals testing than undergraduates involved in animal research. The study also shows pervious work by examining feeling towards two nations. Some previous studies of this kind were characterized by a single nation. The same study that involves the two nations, those nations were among the British and Americans. Newkirk (wrote the book Free the animals: the story of the Animal Liberation Front) found animal welfare is more highly developed in North American than in Britain. Two groups were recruited from Britain and the United States.
Really; I have no idea what to do with that.
6. Gay rights. This one appeared in a couple of my classes. One student did okay with it; the other tried to argue that gay marriage should be banned because it does not provide a good environment for children. Needless to say, I eviscerated that paper, pointed the kid in another direction (reasonable people can argue for the separation of civil and religious marriage, so I encouraged him to take that angle) and sent the paper back for revision.
7. Obamacare. I told the students that they were welcomed to write about what they thought was an important issue and that, even if I staunchly disagreed with their position, they'd get the grade if they did good work with it. This kid got all of his information from well known right-wing propaganda machines and forwarded claims that I could debunk on Google. I sent the paper back and told him to try again.
8. Whaling. This was another paper that started out with a good premise but fell apart before we got to page two.
9. NASA funding. I haven't read this paper yet, but the kid who wrote it wrote a surprisingly effective (and entertaining) analysis about calcium, so I have high hopes.
10. Funding for the arts in schools. This paper is another I haven't read yet and, to be honest, I'm kind of dreading it; the student who's writing it hasn't produced anything of any kind of quality all semester (AND he admitted that he started the paper the night before it was due, despite my trying to get them to run through a drafting and revision process for weeks). Oy.

Surprisingly, another star of TV's "Bonanza" is also
buried here, "Ben Cartwright" himself, Lorne Greene
He is the one of the few stars at Hillside who is buried outside, in an actual grave (rather than above-ground, in a crypt or tomb).
To find Lorne's grave, when you're facing Michael Landon's room, just walk to your right (south) and follow the sidewalk along the back side of the mausoleum. You will find a grassy strip of lawn & graves behind the mausoleum (to your left). Lorne Greene's headstone is located near the center of this green lawn, it reads:
A 1994 addition to Hillside was singer/actress Dinah Shore (1916-1994). Dinah was best known as a charming personality on her long-running TV talk show, but she also starred opposite Danny Kaye in his first movie, 1944's "Up in Arms."
can find her crypt (V-147) in the Court of Books (Isaiah),
just a few steps away from Lorne Greene's grave. When facing Lorne's grave,
simply turn around and walk towards the wall of crypts; Dinah's tomb is
located one row up from the bottom, two spaces to the right of the stained-glass
doors leading into a courtyard.
[Click here
to see a map of the mausoleum
Also on the same wall, just above eye-level, is the crypt of Hall of Famer Hammerin' Hank Greenberg (1911-1986), one of baseball's all-time greats. A lifelong Detroit Tiger, Greenberg led the majors in home runs for three years, led the league in RBI for three years, and was twice named the AL's Most Valuable Player (MVP).
He appeared in four World Series, slugged 58 home
runs in 1938 (just short of Babe Ruth's record), and scored 144 runs that
same year. He hit .348 and drove in 183 RBI in 1937. In the middle of a
pennant race, he refused to play on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement -
but his team went on to win the pennant, and Hank hit a home run in that
year's World Series.
Nearby is producer/actor Sheldon
Leonard (1907-1997), in lawn grave
6-1000-B, who started out as a coin-flipping tough guy in the movies. You
may remember him as 'Nick the Bartender' in the Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life,"
or as a gambling mobster in "Guys & Dolls")
But he found his real success as a TV producer, giving us memorable shows such as "I Spy," "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "The Andy Griffith Show," and "Gomer Pyle, USMC."
You'll find Sheldon Leonard's grave on the grass
here, just four spaces to the right of Lorne Greene.
But you may not immediately
recognize it. It reads "Bershad" across the top, not "Leonard.."
Sheldon's name is located on the marker, but is in small letters down in
the lower left corner. (See the photo)
On the wall, opposite Sheldon Leonard, is none other than Eydie Gormé (1928-2013).
Most people will remember Eydie as part of the singing duo Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme (also known as 'Steve and Eydie').
The husband & wife team met on "The Tonight Show" in 1953,
and the duo were frequent guests on that talk show and others.
They also hosted their own TV show in the late '50s, called "The Steve Lawrence-Eydie Gorme Show".
(You can watch them as the hosts of "The Hollywood Palace", here.)
Eydie had a gold record solo hit in 1963 with "Blame It On the Bossa Nova", and in 1960 (before the Beatles arrived and changed American pop forever), the duo won the Grammy Award for best group album.
Her crypt is two spaces up from the bottom, and three to the left of some stained glass windows.
minor star buried nearby is Selma Diamond (1920-1985),
whom you may remember as the gravelly-voiced 'Selma Hacker' in the popular
sitcom "Night Court." She was also a major comedy writer
in her time.
You'll find her in the Courts of the Book, Jacob-I-4004.
To the left of Dinah Shore's crypt, you'll notice
a doorway leading into an interior courtyard. Walk through this doorway,
go past an interior hallway, and turn left at the first outside corner.
On the wall of crypts there to your left, you'll find Selma's crypt five
spaces to the right of the corner and four spaces up from the bottom. (You'll
be facing the same direction as when you are looking at Lorne Greene's
"This has been a Mark Goodson / Bill Todman Production..."
For three decades, TV viewers heard that line at the end of many of their favorite game shows.
Out near the road, just outside the main front doors
of the mausoleum, is the large brown marble sarcophagus of producer Mark Goodson
of the famous Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Productions, who gave us
a long list of popular TV game shows such as "The
Price Is Right," "The Match Game," "Family
Feud," "Concentration," "Beat the Clock,"
"To Tell The Truth," "What's My Line,"
and "I've Got A Secret."
Also in the mausoleum (but a bit more difficult to find) is famed television producer Aaron Spelling (1923-2006) He ruled the airwaves during the 1970's and 80's and beyond, giving us such classic shows as "Dynasty," "Charlie's Angels," "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," "Hart to Hart", "Hotel", "Starsky & Hutch", and more recently "Beverly Hills 90210" (which starred his daughter, Tori Spelling, as 'Donna'), "Melrose Place," "Twin Peaks," "Charmed" and "7th Heaven".
He holds the Guinness Book World Record for being the "Most Prolific TV Drama Producer", with over 3,842 hours of television production.
Given this TV empire, it's not surprising that In 1991, Aaron Spelling built a mansion on Mapleton Drive in Beverly Hills that exceeded anything you might see on Dynasty. The home spread out over 56,000 square-feet, boasting 123 rooms. It cost $47 million to build, and was listed in 2006 for $150 million.
Like Jack Benny and Mark Goodson, he is
buried in a large, marble sarcophagus (but this one is gray, not brown).
From inside the main entrance, turn left (the opposite direction from Jack
Benny), walk to the end of the hall, turn right and walk to the end of
the hall, turn left again and you'll find his crypt right next to doors
leading to the outside.
