Dreier is a good guy, though I'd vote for a dead skunk scraped off the middle of the road before I'd vote for any Democrat after their attempts to run the country bankrupt during the last two years.
#2 Oct 15, 2010
Dr. Randy as he is called by his very large circle of friends is one of the smartest and sharpest people I have ever heard speak.
#3 Oct 15, 2010
He is the one i want to win.
#4 Oct 16, 2010
Dreier has been very good for the SGV. His voting record is good and he supports the Gold Line, Alameda Corridor,Strong Borders,low taxes, and other conservative issues. He will be Chair of the House Rules Committee - which is good for us. Vote DREIER!
United States
#5 Oct 16, 2010
Yes yes

Time to return to constitional values. David Dreier is a traitor to the republic!
#8 Oct 22, 2010
Republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden stunned his party Thursday, saying he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.
Is this what republicans are all about?
#9 Oct 25, 2010
He's my friend

Dreier closet gay

David Drier needs to go. He does nothing for us here in Claremont. He acts like an absentee landowner, removed from the common folk. Come back to earth and work with us.

So is Jerry Brown .

Jerry Hooked up with Anne,
David's Sexual orientation
In the fall of 2004, journalist Doug Ireland claimed to "out" Dreier in print in L.A. Weekly, in its issue of September 24September 30, 2004.[22][23] The L.A. Weekly printed that Dreier had had a romantic relationship with his longtime chief of staff, Brad W. Smith, who at the time collected a $156,600 government salary. Smith earned the highest possible salary allowed by law for a committee staff member[24] and was reportedly the highest-paid chief of staff working for any House of Representatives committee chair.("By comparison," wrote Ireland, "the chief of staff to the chair of the House Judiciary Committee makes $126,000, while the chief of staff to the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee makes just $100,696.")[22][25][26]
The alleged "outing" was a result of Dreier coming under increasing scrutiny from gay rights groups because of his voting record, which includes support of the Defense of Marriage Act, as well as votes against gay adoption,[citation needed] and against inclusion of homosexuals as a protected class in hate crime. However, he did vote for employment discrimination legislation to protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation in 2007.[27]
Dreier's 1998 and 2000 Democratic opponent, Janice Nelson, alleged that his relationship with Smith had been an open secret for many years. His 2004 opponent, Cynthia Matthews, came out of the closet and demanded that Dreier do the same. Dreier did not publicly respond to these charges, which were discussed on local radio programs in his district. At the time, the mainstream U.S. print media did not cover the story (although the controversy was later, in June 2005, addressed in the British press[28] after it was announced that British prime minister Tony Blair's son Euan would work as an unpaid intern for Dreier's committee during the summer of 2005).
Amid the controversy, Dreier voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment on September 30, 2004. He explained his opposition to the amendment by stating that he felt the Constitution was not the appropriate tool for restricting rights.[citation needed]
Dreier also opposed hate crimes protections for gay people in his vote against the Matthew Shepard Act, and voted against the repeal of the U.S. military's "Don't Ask. Don't Tell" policy.
On September 6, 2007, blogger Mike Rogers outed Dreier on Talk of the Nation on NPR. The topic of the program was, "The Ethics of Outing."[29]
Dreier's alleged closeted sexuality is one of the features of the 2009 documentary film Outrage. The film depicted photos of various exotic vacation locales around the world that were visited by Dreier, noting that each time, Dreier's chief of staff Brad W. Smith would arrive at the same getaway spot a day later.

Summary of Season 1 (1980) - 3 discs
Acclaimed Israeli director Amos Gitai's often controversial films include documentaries and fictional works that examine the endless cycle of violence in the Middle East. This collection of films highlights Gitai's acute sense of social conscience as he explores the fragile coexistence of a group of Arabs and Israelis; the history of a single house as a microcosm for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest
Review by Falion
"Five years later and it's still the best!"
'The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time' was released to universal acclaim from players and critics alike for the Nintendo 64 back in 1998. The game even debuted at the #1 spot in Japan- quite a feat considering the lack of support that the N64 received in the country. ''OoT'' successfully translated the series from 2D to 3D, and integrated an incredibly innovative ''lock-on'' combat system. Now, the game has been re-released for the Nintendo Gamecube, along with the 'Ocarina of Time Master Quest,' which is a more difficult ''remix'' of OoT. This review, however, will cover only the unaltered version.
Story: 9/10
OoT has a darker, more complex story than any previous Zelda game, while still keeping the whimsy and light-heartedness that the series is known for. The main character is Link, a child from Kokiri village who is destined to bring peace to the world. Keep in mind that this is yet another character named Link, who is to be kept separate from the other Zelda games. Throughout his journey, Link will encounter many friends- most importantly, Princess Zelda. The princess gives Link a magical ocarina that enables him to control time, to an extent. Link's nemesis is Ganondorf, or ''The King of Thieves,'' who will stop at nothing to capture the powerful Triforce.
Nintendo intentionally made it so that Link never talks. this was done in order to make the game more immersing, so the player will feel that he or she is actually Link's voice, rather than just observing pre-scripted emotion. I can understand the reasoning behind this, but the game's story is very epic in scope, and a ''mute'' main character just seems slightly out of place.
Graphics: 10/10
The graphics in OoT were very good for their time, and five years later, they still work. Not only that, but the graphics were cleaned up as much as possible, giving the game a much clearer look than its more blurry N64 counterpart. The graphical style is very impressive, and the enormous, intimidating bosses are just as awe-inspiring as they were the first time I played this game on the N64.
Sound: 8/10
This is a rather tough category. OoT's music was limited due to the lack of space in the original cartridge(which, of course, is the reason why the N64 failed). So while the composition is excellent and the tunes are very memorable, the quality just isn't there. Remember the incredible orchestral remix of the Zelda theme in Smash Bros. Melee? Well, we'll all have to keep waiting to hear something of that quality in an actual Zelda game...
On the flip side, the sound effects are absolutely perfect! In fact, Link's new ''voice'' has been recycled possibly even more times than ''It's-a-me!'' Mario's. The clanking, swooshing, and enemy cries are all just perfect.
Gameplay: 10/10
Hands down the best gameplay you can get in ANY game! I certainly cannot rave enough about how good of a job Nintendo did in bringing the Zelda series to the third dimension. The biggest concern before the game was released was combat. How can you take a series known for its relatively simple approach to combat and all of a sudden make the battles ''epic,'' while still keeping the controls simple? Well, the ever-imitated ''lock-on'' system did the trick. By simply facing an enemy and pressing the lock-on button, Link will lock onto and constantly face the enemy. This gives Link the ability to perform many impressive attacks and evasions, using only two buttons!
After getting the combat out of the way, OoT had to show its chops as an actual Zelda game. The series is possibly best known for its complicated, puzzle-filled dungeons and OoT definitely does not disappoint. The game has many dungeons, each filled with very tough puzzles. You'll push/pull blocks, light candles, and grapple up to ledges to your heart's content. The puzzles can get frustrating, but never to the point of making you want to give up.
Overall: 10/10
Back in 1998 when OoT was originally released, many felt that it was easily the greatest game of all time. Fortunately, after five long and eventful years, the game is every bit as incredible as it ever was. Truly a classic, and I'm sure it will be released again five years from now to the same unanimous praise.

The elderly consume the lion's share of social benefits and account for a disproportionate amount of the health care costs. They have become an immense drain and liability on all Western Countries, and are due to consume an enormous and crippling percentage of the GDP of many nations in the coming years. This is not the fault of the elderly, but the fault in the manner in which we care for them. There are less developed countries (Nepal is a good example) who take a community, collective responsibility approach. Our current model of hospitals, care facilities, and bloated unsustainable pension plans and benefits are poised to bankrupt many nations as these things did to Detroit. It does not have to be this way, nor did the elderly have to become the parasites that the western world made them into. Also of consideration is the fact that the elderly elected officials that would promise them gold plated pension plans and benefits at the expense of the young, who will never see such benefits; the elderly deserve to be held accountable to their mistakes, just as they raised their children to believe they needed to be accountable for theirs...
On one hand, it is a disgrace to our parent's and grandparent's generations to say that when they are too old to be productive (theoretically) they should be wiped out. Then also disabled kids and mentally ill people should not be cared for. IT is our duty to care for each human as he was created in God's image.
Yet on the other hand, as cludwg stated, they do drain our society of its resources, yet as he suggested we should take to making a better way to take care of the elderly, and also the handicapped and mentally ill people who are not productive, and not kill them God forbid. Yet saying that old people drain our society is likening them to parasites. We must respect our elders as they gave us our life and the world we live in today, and we cannot cuty the branch we're sitting on.
I believe that the elderly are not a drain on society. They can provide help or information when you are stumped. Also, they can comfort you when you are feeling down or upset. They are there for you when you need them. So no, elderly are not a drain on society.

I'm 73, a military retiree and university graduate who lived 16 years outside America and been in 30 countries. I've also been voting for 55 years, so have seen and experienced the shift in the last 30 or so years toward intense partisanship started by Republican Newt Gingrich.
Today, the net result is a war between politicians — not about important national issues — but about reelection. Behind the scenes and fueling the political wars are the two most powerful men in America, Grover Norquist and Karl Rove. Norquist's pledge that almost all Republicans must sign and Rove's money machine totally controls who gets elected and reelected. All that money comes from a very few people who have very selfish interests.
The Democrats do not have two powerful puppet masters pulling the strings nor concentrated money aimed at destroying opponents so have been slowly losing the political wars.
If anyone reading this believes that Republicans have the average person's best interests at heart you need to look at the facts. They are in office because of the money behind them, and they do what the money tells them to do.
If you already have lots of money, vote Republican. If you think the increasing disparity of wealth and continual political wars should be stopped, vote Democratic.

Bouncing Back
Today I spoke to the study coordinator in Palo Alto, who emphasized that many people are helped significantly by valvuloplasty -- although for varying amounts of time -- and that there's minimal recovery time; also, she said to tell Dad that if this buys him enough time, he could get the new valve after it's approved.
So he's scheduled for the procedure next Friday. We'll be driving down Thursday, and, with luck, driving back home sometime over the weekend. I don't start teaching until the following Wednesday, so there's a little wiggle room, although weather could throw a real wrench into the works. But we'll have to deal with that as it comes.
I felt more cheerful about the whole thing today, and so did Dad, who was delighted to learn that there's some chance -- however slim -- of getting the valve at some point.
My friend Sharon and I visited five assisted-living places today. (Sharon's been one of my rocks through all this: thank you, Sharon!) Three of them were quite grim, all dark with small yappy dogs. I don't know why these creatures correlate with lack of light, but there certainly seems to be a connection. One, in addition, stank of urine. Yuck.
However, two of the places were very nice. One's a private home with a maximum of eight residents and one current opening, where Dad could have his own room with a door leading out to a lovely patio. I was impressed by the questions the administrator there asked about his medical care and needs. The place was clean, bright, cheerful, and had no animals at all.
Upsides to this place: a homey, intimate environment, lots of personal attention, and they take Medicaid waivers (which I still have to research). Downsides: Dad would have to pay down his limited assets to become Medicaid eligible, and he'd have to get rid of almost all his own furniture. His room would be cheerful, but small.
The second place is one of those huge, fancy assisted-living facilities that look like swanky hotels, and where each resident has his or her own apartment (a studio, in Dad's case). There's transportation, an activities calendar, gorgeous grounds and amenities, a LifeLine included with the price, etc. This is the kind of place that I would have considered unaffordable, and that would be if we were paying the full price. Luckily, they have a low-income program.
Upsides: Dad could keep his own furniture and would have a lot of privacy, including his own bathroom and kitchenette (with a small microwave and fridge), although three meals a day, with a restaurant-style menu, are included in the price. Also, he could keep his assets.
Downsides: Somewhat less personal attention and extra fees with mounting medical needs. And they don't take Medicaid.
The price for both facilities would be $2,000/month. (Yeah, that's a lot, but at the swanky place, non-low-income folks pay a $4,000 registration fee, and their rent starts at $3,750/month.) For the first, Dad would pay out of his assets until Medicaid kicked in, however much it would kick in (again, I have to research this). For the second, he'd pay $1,500/month -- almost his entire Social Security check, although he does have some savings) -- and my sister and I would each kick in $250/month.
When Sharon and I went over to discuss the options with him, he was surprisingly open to the idea: willing to consider it, anyway, although he'd prefer to stay in his own place. It sounds like he's leaning towards Door #2, where he'd be able to keep a lot more of his own stuff. I told him that I'd be happy to live there, and I meant it. He's feeling guilty about the fact that Liz and I might have to help, but I told him -- and meant it again -- that it's easily worth $250/month to me to know that he's safe and well cared for. And my sister's fine with this plan.
So he and I are going to go look at both places sometime early next week. Sharon pointed out, gently, that choosing one of them now would be easier than having to go to one of them if something happened later.
Gary's balking at all this. Last night, when the only place I'd seen was one of the dark houses with a yappy dog, I'd decided that I'd support Dad's efforts to stay in the apartment as long as humanly possible: falling in a place where he was at least somewhat happy would be better than being protected in a place where he felt suffocated. But tonight, when I've seen nice assisted-living places, I have to confess that I'm leaning towards that option, partly because of the peace of mind it would bring me. Gary wants Dad to be able to stay in the apartment, though, if only so he won't be subjected to another move.
Ultimately, it's up to Dad.
We'll have to see what happens; the valvuloplasty could make a big difference. But in the meantime, I can breathe a little easier knowing that there are acceptable options out there!

My husband's grandparents were in the apartment-type asst. living. They moved there at 83 and lived to see 96, both of them. There were get-togethers, cards, and dances with their era of music. They were driven to the grocery and various other places. My Aunt currently lives in one and is very happy with her friends. If you choose the smaller place, check and see if they support any social activities.ReplyDelete
From your posts, you're dealing with things very well. Good Job!
Susan, My parents live in one of the type 2 places, although theirs is owned by the residents and the buy in is much higher. The dining room is nice, there is help for house cleaning weekly, a library, chapel for services, lots of different activity clubs like computers, quilting and other interests. The staff really cares about the residents and my parents are very happy there. Mom has needed more help for living twice so she made temporary moves to the main building and was bussed to her physical therapy appointments. Currently their best friends are planning to move in so the companionship of the community keeps growing. It's a lovely way to retire. I hope your Dad likes it. Maybe if you took Gary by he'd feel better about it too.ReplyDelete
Prayers ascending for success of the valvuloplasty and the future chance for the valve replacement. "Dad keep doing that physical therapy!"
Looking at the time frames, I'm with Gary for the moment.ReplyDelete
He's going to Palo Alto on Friday, which means he could either (1) spend the next four days packing and moving or (2) spend the next four days gathering strength.
He's coming back, theoretically, some time Monday or Tuesday--or later, since it doesn't sound as if it's the type of procedure where you are likely to bounce up the next day. He can come back to either (1) the place he knows now or (2) the place he just moved into.
Both cases have fairly clear answers on top of the other issues.
So I wouldn't do anything until after he came back from Stanford Med, especially since it doesn't seem as if there is a constraint on available studios at Place #2.
Take the 7-10 days; worst case would be that he would have to go into Place #2, which seems to be your preferred option anyway.
Thanks, everybody.ReplyDelete
Ken, nothing's happening until the end of January at the earliest!
Just want to second the comment that a lot of the AL staff really do care a lot about their residents. Many times, in both personal experience, research interviews, and the literature, you see the phrase "I think of him as like a grandfather." I know that independent living is often important, but as you say, it's the balance between autonomy and safety. Never easy to judge where the trade-offs should be, but I think if that middle line can be walked in a context that allows for maximum dignity for you dad, it's doable.ReplyDelete
More thoughts and prayers for you and yours.

The Zombie is an enemy from Final Fantasy IV, encountered in the Underground Waterway.
As Cecil is still a Dark Knight at this point in the game, he always deals 1 HP damage to Zombies, except for critical hits, or unless the party is over-leveled. Tellah's Fire and Cura magic works well against them, as they are undead. Rydia does not have Fire at this point, but she does have the Cure spell, which damages the undead, although it is much weaker than Fire.
In the 3D versions, Cecil can deal more than 1 HP of damage to them while in Dark Knight form by using the Deathbringer sword, which is not imbued with the element of Darkness.

Chris Hemsworth is reportedly close to a lead role in racing drama Rush.
The Thor actor is in talks to portray the British Formula 1 driver James Hunt in the forthcoming biopic, Deadline reports.
Penned by The Queen scribe Peter Morgan, Rush centers on the rivalry between Hunt and Niki Lauda for Formula 1 circuit dominance in the 1970s.
Hunt won the world drivers' title in 1976 and was more widely known for his eccentricity and playboy lifestyle on and off the track.
He worked for the BBC as a motorsports commentator before his death, aged 45, in 1993.
Hunt's rival Lauda won three world drivers' championships during the 1970s and 1980s.
The film will likely be the next directing project for Ron Howard.
Hemsworth has committed to a number of films in recent weeks, including the crime thriller Shadow Runner and Snow White and the Huntsman.
Hemsworth, who is currently shooting The Avengers, will also star in the sequel to Thor, which is slated for a 2013 release.
Rush is scheduled to begin filming in March of next year.
Watch Chris Hemsworth in a trailer for Thor below:

By ANNA KISSELGOFF
Published: July 5, 1987
THE VERSION OF ''CINDEREL-la'' that Rudolf Nureyev has choreographed for the Paris Opera Ballet to Prokofiev's well-known ballet score, and that recently played to packed houses at the Metropolitan Opera House, is set in the Hollywood of the past. With a Cinderella who dreams of becoming a film star, who captures the heart of a leading man and who is under the tutelage of a producer - standing in as her fairy godmother - Mr. Nureyev's updated transposition has many original ideas.
Nonetheless, this ''Cinderella'' might be better understood as part of a general formula already made familiar by Mr. Nureyev's revisionist stagings of 19th-century classics. In ''Cinderella,'' as in his ''Nutcracker,'' originally created for Britain's Royal Ballet, and in his ''Swan Lake'' for the Paris Opera Ballet, the fantasy characters are the real people the protagonist encounters in everyday life. * * *
Hence the habit Mr. Nureyev has of deliberately double-casting within the same ballet. In ''Cinderella,'' the leading man searches for the heroine in Los Angeles nightclubs, the equivalent of the prince's journey around the world in the Prokofiev score; the Spanish cabaret performer is portrayed by the same dancer who plays the dominant stepsister. The other sister and the stepmother double up respectively as a Chinese dancer and a Russian dancer.
In Mr. Nureyev's ''Nutcracker,'' Drosselmeier, the toymaker, surprisingly turns into the prince. The ballerina portrays both the little girl at the Christmas party and the adult vision of herself, formerly the Sugar Plum Fairy. Moreover, the unfriendly mice are the same dancers who were the adult guests at the party. In his controversial ''Swan Lake,'' enclosed in a room that changes into a lakeside image as a projection of Prince Siegfried's mind, Rothbart is identified with the prince's tutor. The same dancer portrays both.
For Mr. Nureyev then, there is no abstract ideal, there is only reality. It is a highly disillusioned viewpoint, one that implies that man can only envision the ideal in a dream. This is very different from the hope held out by most 19th-century Romantic writers, who defined an ideal as a philosophical concept - seemingly unattainable but worth striving for.
Since the 19th-century ballet classics are based on Romantic stories, Mr. Nureyev's modifications in the scenarios are significant. In these recensions, he suggests that we dream of what we know. Seeking the ideal, the protagonist in his ballets encounters the negative characters he knows in real life -the stepsisters are identified with the entertainers who interfere with the hero's search for Cinderella, for example. * * *
A point of similarity in all these revised ballets is that Mr. Nureyev emphasizes, beyond the original scenario, a fate figure who makes things happen. That figure is usually double cast, as with the tutor-Rothbart. Drosselmeier, in the heroine's eyes, is a menacing personage who turns into her vision prince only when her fears of growing up are dispelled. The producer in ''Cinderella'' is the fairy godmother figure (the characters even momentarily freeze under his spell in Act I). His ancestors are the Lilac Fairy in Mr. Nureyev's production of ''The Sleeping Beauty'' and even the Don Quixote who is emphasized as a matchmaker in Mr. Nureyev's well-known version of the 19th-century ballet of the same name.
The Prokofiev ''Cinderella,'' produced in 1945 at the Bolshoi Ballet, is not a 19th-century classic; as such, a reinterpretation of its highly programmatic score is arguably fair game. The interesting paradox is that Mr. Nureyev has both offered the most radical interpretation and kept the score virtually intact, more faithful to it than the many others who have rechoreographed the ballet (Rostislav Zakharov did the Bolshoi original).
It is, if truth be told, a highly undanceable score, and Mr. Nureyev has tackled the huge empty spaces of the second act ingeniously. He has taken Prokofiev's dance forms in the set pieces - the passepied, mazurka, promenade, waltz - and obliterated them by substituting comic silent-screen vignettes.
The price he pays here is high. The love interest between Cinderella and the prince, Prokofiev's focus, takes second place to the choreographer's love affair with the Hollywood myth. This ''Cinderella,'' with its huge Betty Grable cutouts, is about Hollywood, about a specific kind of entertainment. And this is why for all its flaws - uneven choreography and loose dramatic ends - the production proved so popular with the audience. It entertains on its own ground.
And so the mind retains clever touches: There is the moment when the movie-lot extras point to their watches and insist on a break (an in-joke about union time), or the one, during the usual banquet music, when hip-swaying commissary waitresses appear unexpectedly, rolling in serving carts with refreshments, including Prokofiev's famous three oranges. * * *
The short takes, satirizing silent movies, are good. When a group of American Indians attempt to sacrifice a Tahitian maiden to a choosy huge King Kong of a marionette, this ''Rite of Spring'' takes the form of the maidens playing eenie-meenie-minie-moe to see who will be ''it.'' The composites and allusions almost always work - Cinderella is dressed like Charlie Chaplin and dances like Fred Astaire. She imitates Judy Garland's paparazzi-surrounded entrance in the film ''The Ziegfeld Follies'' for her star entrance and later mimics Cyd Charisse. She sits in a chair that again recalls Judy Garland, this time in ''A Star Is Born.''
There is nothing here that a ''ballet doctor'' couldn't cure. Why does the aspiring star, in this scenario, suddenly run off at midnight and change into her rags? The producer had shown her a Mae West figure turning into a hag to warn her that Hollywood was not forever; yet, that detail is barely visible onstage. To some, this is a cynical ''Cinderella'' - the heroine triumphs through her looks, not her goodness. Mr. Nureyev's viewpoint is less harsh; it is in line with the disenchantment of his protagonists. This ''Cinderella'' shows us dreams that are only too real.

Aoife has few possessions. She wears a modest, practical, white dress with sleeves, cut to her knees and elbows. She has a minituare, living, ivy representation of an oak tree hanging around her kneck, which is typically tucked away.
She also wears a belt that she picked up in Karse, with a wand tucked in it that spits rather unpleasant acidic stuff at people who try to hurt her.

More than 28 million people are under a blizzard warning in the Northeast, the Weather Channel estimates, awaiting a storm that the National Weather Service in Boston is calling "crippling and potentially historic."
If you'd like to take a look at who's supposed to get what, the folks at ESRI (makers of ArcGIS) came up with this map combining data from the National Weather Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and AccuWeather:
Click the arrows to see 6-hour increments. You can see the full map, including color-coded legend, here.
And for a look at what's happening in social media surrounding the storm, this map tracks mentions on Twitter, Flickr and YouTube.
The social media map was created with a standard ArcGIS Online Web app template, according to Robby Deming at Esri. "Once you're done creating a Web map, you simply publish the map to the Public Information web app template and it automatically handles the social media side of things," he explained in an email.

Five members of one family were found dead today in an apparent murder-suicide near the City College of San Francisco, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, quoting police.
KTVU-TV reports that police are trying to confirm how the victims died but say some had been shot.
Police Chief Greg Suhr calls the house "a complicated crime scene" and says the killings were confined to the home and police are not looking for a gunman, The San Francisco Examiner reports.
A family member found three of the bodies upon arriving home and police found the other two, the newspaper says.
The victims were found in the foyer by the door, in the garage and in the back of the two-story house, the newspaper reports.
The names of the victims have not been released.

ARKANSAS: A 16-year old black boy is being charged as an adult in a battery case after prosecutors became aware of a YouTube video showing him striking a 12-year old white boy with brass knuckles.
Kane Millsaps, 16, pleaded not guilty June 3 to first-degree battery, a felony, and possessing an instrument of crime, a misdemeanor. Police say Millsaps hit a 12-year-old boy while wearing brass knuckles.
The attack occurred May 31 at a walking trail in Conway, according to a probable cause affidavit. Millsaps hit the victim for "running his mouth saying he was an MMA [Mixed Martial Arts] Fighter and he could beat him up," the affidavit reads. The victim told authorities he did not know Millsaps.
Officers learned of the incident when a witness's family member brought the video to the Conway Police Department on June 1. When officers spoke with the victim, they noted his right eye was bruised, there was a cut on his neck and he had broken teeth. The victim said he lost consciousness after being hit and "when he woke up he thought he had gravel in his mouth but it was pieces of his teeth," the affidavit stated.
A witness who recorded the incident on Millsaps's phone said Millsaps told her the victim had provoked him, a claim she disputed. The witness told investigators that the victim "did not even see Millsaps coming and did not know he was going to be hit," the affidavit stated.
A girl seen pushing Millsaps off the victim at the end of the video said the victim "had a hole in his cheek which may need stitches," the affidavit states. Millsaps was arrested June 2 at the Faulkner County Sheriff's Office Juvenile Services division after meeting with his probation officer.

Cinnamon Lodge Habarana is a tranquil, superior property set in 27 acres of natural foliage and lush vegetation, complete with animal inhabitants – expect to see monkeys, squirrels and mongoose from your breakfast table!
Located in Habarana, this property is an ideal base from which to explore some of Sri Lanka's highlights: Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Polonnaruwa and Minneriya National Park are all within an hours drive of the property; Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage approximately 2 ½ hours drive. The 140 rooms and suites are set in chalets, dotted amidst the vegetation so it's advisable to keep balcony and terrace doors closed from prying monkeys! We would recommend upgrading from the Superior to the larger Deluxe Rooms which have been recently refurbished. Facilities at Cinnamon Lodge Habarana include a large swimming pool with shallow area for children, choice of restaurants, bar and small spa.
Well we asked for diversity in our holiday and that's what we got!! We started off by visiting the Sigirya Rock Fortress and then the temples at Polonnaruwa to get into the history and culture of Sri Lanka along with the Rangiri Dambulla Cave Temple whilst on route to Kandy. Kandy is home to the temple that holds the ToothRelic and is not to be missed along with a visit to the cultural show and The Royal Botanical Gardens. Then off to the mountains to visit the tea plantations for freshly picked tea, fabulous views and a delicious lunch overlooking a stunning waterfall. We stayed at the Heritance Tea Factory Hotel here which is very quirky. A meal on the train behind the hotel was so much fun, the Guard being the star of the show! Next we travelled to Udawalawe National Park which was fantastic, we saw so many elephants, water buffalo, jackal and birds but sadly no leopards.
Yala was our next destination for another safari, this one was much busier with jeeps everywhere and very little wildlife to be seen for obvious reasons, although a deer did stop by the hotel swimming pool for a drink and crocodiles slept on the banks of the lake!Our last stop on Sri Lanka was at Galle which was wonderful, lots of intriguing little lanes to explore down and history to soak up. All our hotels were fabulous, the food and the service excellent, our favourite being Fort Printers in Galle followed closely by Cinnamom Lodge in Habrana. We had a guide for all our time here who was good company, informative, and took us to all the best restaurants for lunch!! The Maldives were heavenly, a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes as we left for home means I hope one day I will be lucky enough to return to this wonderful place!

Mr Witchell's interest in the loch - he wrote a book about the monster in 1970 - led to Project Urquhart, in which he was joined by bodies such as the Natural History Museum and the Freshwater Biological Association. Loch Ness is, after all, not just Britain's largest lake, it is also virtually undisturbed by commercial fisheries or pollution.
"This is worthwhile, serious research," says Mr Witchell. "It is not what has happened in Loch Ness before."
The story that is emerging has taken many scientists by surprise. It also offers a sounder scientific basis for the speculations about Nessie.
At the bottom of the food chain in lakes are microscopic algae called phytoplankton. The quantity of these can usually be predicted by measuring the amounts of nutrients, particularly phosphorus, in the lake. However, Tony Bailey-Watts of the Institute of Freshwater Ecology (IFE) and Roger Jones of the University of Lancaster found large amounts of phosphorus relative to the phytoplankton in Loch Ness. Dr Bailey-Watts says: "The loch is very deep and the water is very peaty, so only a tiny percentage of the water column receives any light at all." Wind funnelled along the Great Glen creates strong internal currents, which cause phytoplankton cells to spend a lot of time in darkness, far below the surface. Photosynthetic organisms cannot capitalise on the nutrients in the loch. Even at the height of summer, Loch Ness is about as favourable an environment for phytoplankton as Windermere is in winter.
As phytoplankton is the grass from which all aquatic flesh is made, this does not bode well for leviathans.
Dr Ian Winfield, a biologist who works with Dr Bailey-Watts at the Institute of Freshwater Ecology, has co-ordinated a study of the fish in the loch using advanced sonar equipment that records fish as acoustic "blips", which can be counted and measured. "There were very few fish in the open water, although there were signs of concentrations around river mouths. Those found were nearly all Arctic charr," says Dr Winfield.
The relationship between the amount of nutrients in a lake and the crop of phytoplankton extends further up the food chain, to the numbers of microscopic animals - zooplankton - and fish. "It is not very precise, but it usually puts you in the right ball park," says Dr Winfield. "Unfortunately, it did not work for us in Loch Ness. The model predicted more fish than were actually found." The quantities were, in fact, extremely low: about a quarter of a kilogram (half a pound or so) per hectare. In the bald language of science are a thousand dreams shattered: "the density of charr in open water is incapable of supporting a population of predators," write Dr Winfield and his IFE colleague Glen George.
They reached this conclusion from some simple ecological calculations, starting with the figure of a quarter of a kilogram of fish per hectare. By examining the size distribution of fish, Dr Winfield worked out how much of this biomass is produced in a year and how much is carried over from previous years. This gave a figure for annual production of slightly less than the standing stock: 230g per hectare of lake surface per year. Then he applied two ecological rules. The first states that a predator can remove only about 10 per cent of its prey each year before it starts eating into "capital" rather than "interest". If this happens, the breeding stock for the following year might not produce enough food to support it. This cuts the biomass of fish that can be sustainably consumed to about 23g - equivalent to about a tablespoon of sugar - per hectare. Multiply this by the area of open water in Loch Ness and you have a total available food supply of 93kg per year.
However, there is one more ecological rule: these charr need to be caught. Which means swimming. Fast. And that requires energy. Add to this the energy required to keep basic body processes going and the total fuel bill for a cold-blooded aquatic predator is three times its body weight a year. Which means that Nessie, individually or collectively, is at best 31kg (about 68lb) in weight. Not very monstrous.
However, the story does not end there. Military sonar experts working on Project Urquhart recorded some strong contacts that could not be readily explained. "These people," Mr Witchell says, "were extremely experienced and generally extremely sceptical. The last thing they wanted to come away with was unexplained results of this nature." But legends never die easily, and Nessie, all 31kg of him, her, it or them, remains as enigmatic as ever.Reuse content

Seeing as how they have divided up the 4 spheres that most mmo's share (that being melee, magic, gathering and crafting) into their own unique class sets, it is my hope that they actually do crafting justice. Here is what i would love to see:
I mean, look at games like bejeweled, which are extraordinarily simple, yet have hundreds of thousands (if not millions) addicted to them. Or how addictive the card game was in ffIX; why not implement something like that to crafting? Some type of mini game based on skill or strategy, which at the end effects the quality of your work.
By engaging, i mean something along the lines of what vanguard attempted to do, but actually succeed. I would personally love it if it took 5 minutes to make basic things, and up to 2 hours for more complex armors/weapons/potions/etc. Sorta like a dungeon for crafting, which takes both time and effort to complete.
I am just truly tired of the half-assed crafting systems that many mmo's today just tack on to their game, just to say they have it. Having the items in your inventory, they pressing 2 buttons and *POOF!*, like magic you have the item.
Well, here's to hoping anyway. What are your hopes for the Hand?

The Abyss was created due to earthquakes, and was a yawning, impassible gorge between Loamhedge Abbey and the rest of the Southern Plateau. It is unknown how deep it is, but is assumed to go to the bottom of the earth's crust. At one point in time, some creatures managed to construct a bridge that was hung low into the abyss. During the time of Mattimeo, Slagar and the woodlanders crossed the abyss to get to Malkariss, Slagar then burned the bridge so that Matthias and his companions could not follow him. During this time, the last bridge was lost, leaving it impassible for all those without wings. With the help of Sir Harry the Muse, the woodlanders recovered the remains of the bridge, then used their belts as a zip line to get across. The woodlanders' return was not specifically mentioned but likely involved the makeshift zip line constructed with the remains of the bridge.
When Malkariss' kingdom collapsed, its inhabitants were thought to have been crushed in the cataclysmic event. In Loamhedge however, it appeared that some of the deeper tunnels remained and were ruled by descendants of the Wearet. These tunnels opened out into the gorge where the Lord of Mossflower had fallen and was used as a new bridge. This was called 'The Abyss' by the Wearet's followers. These vermin were vanquished in the Battle in the Abyss.

The OTT was when he nearly runs over Lena at the start and he's all like "You're HER". I was like "Unsubtle, much?" But I think that may just be me liking more reserved characters.
Annnd, I've put down Beautiful Creatures again. To read Raw Blue by Kristy Eager, which I've heard great things about. So far, it's AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING.
ETA: I didn't enjoy Hush, Hush very much. I can see why other people did -- it has voice, the characterisation is fairly good. But I never, ever believed the relationship between Patch and Nora so the book just fell apart for me. Also, yeah, it did have a creepy-stalker vibe about it. So if you don't like those types of books, you probably won't like it.
And HOW GOOD IS RAW BLUE?
I couldnt put it down - it was mesmerising and nail-biting and beautiful and gave me little pools of anxiety in my gut.
And - so PUMPED your loving it as I dont know anyone else who has read it! Doesnt help that it;s hard to track down even though it was only released last year...
I JUST (well, like half an hour ago) finished it. I literally just sat down and inhaled the book -- it is so, so, so good. Gah, the characters -- I loved all of them so, so much. And the prose! The prose! Wow, she has a way with words. My newest book love, definitely. You're totally right about it being mesmerising.
And YES about it being hard to track down. I've been trying to find it for months, having a look in bookstores whenever I go and what-not, and it's NEVER there. But yesterday I was at this bargain place, and they had it. It was pretty awesome
LOL, I mean, I don't know what OTT means. And I still can't figure it out.
My main problem with BC (though I liked it) was that it was basically a repetition of 5 plot (or narrative) points with slight variations on them. Also, one of them, is the reason why I couldn't pick up the novel as a novel, but could get through it as an audiobook. I got really tired when I was previewing the novel of hearing about how Southern the town was. And Ethan told us A LOT. At some point it's like, Okay, we get it. You can SHOW us without telling us from now on and we will understand that it's the way the town is (and always has been and always will be).

I'm reading 'Beautiful Creatures' right now, but I'm not sure if I'll finish it. It's a little boring and... something else. I'm not quite sure what it is yet. I'm going to try and see if it gets any better. If not then I'll move on to the next book I have in line.
I read five more pages of Beautiful Creatures and then put it down again to re-read CHOKE by Chuck Palahniuk (which is obviously not YA, but you know).
Next on my list is Octavian Nothing -- yes, I still haven't read it. I've decided to read Beautiful Creatures when I'm on a plane, so my attention can't wander haha.
We went to the snow for the weekend just recently, it was only a three night stay but i ended up packing five books in the hope that something would catch my interest...
I picked each one up and shortly after put it back down again.
I'm after any suggestions on a good book with good recommendations as right now i seem to be in a reading rut!

Carlyle Brera Hotel
Corso Garibaldi 84, Milan, Lombardy
0.4 mi from
Excellent breakfast....clean....metro right outside hotel for intercity travel....good rate in comparison to other alike facilities
Excellent location for walking to the Brera, Duomo, and Quadrilatero d'Oro. Very close to Moscova Metro stop so convenient to get to further reaches as well. Very helpful and friendly staff. Received a great rate too. Will definitely stay here on my next trip to Milano.
room, cleanliness, breakfast quality none
Modern, comfortable, excellent location. All good.
Excellent location with direct access to the Metro, shopping, restaurants and sites in central Milan. Rooms were average, though if decent size. Beds were not particularly comfortable.
Nice area with lot of nearby restaurants and bars (Corso Como), walking distance to city centre (Duomo 15min). Rooms clean. Room was very hot. Air con did not work (due to Government Regulations according to the staff!!) and the window can open only 15 centimeters. Sun is shining all day at the front of the dark coloured hotel, so ask for a room at the back. This will reduce street noise as well. Some staff members excellent, some terribly unconcerned. Get up early to get hold of the free rental bikes because there are only two (no reservation possible)
It's position midway between main station and Duomo/city centre and on an interesting city street Corso Garibaldi. It was quiet too. no comment
Excellent location, in the heart of Brera. Room was rather 3 stars than 4. Garage too expensive (35 Euro per night)
Good location. Renovated in 2009. Clean.Very good breakfast. The staff was exellent
Very good breakfast , convenient for shops and restaurants. Bedroom and bathroom on the small size.
The closeness to the Metro Very expensive
All was good Staff room Location,the price is maybe a little high,,,,
Location, staff extremely helpful, breakfast, room accomondations. The only item was that they wanted to charge me for ice bucket and glasses when I picked them up at the bar as instructed. When I complained the front desk discussed with management and took the charge off the bill.
no hassels, everything was nice and clean
gut beds Hotel garage to expensive 35,- € 1 night
housekeeping twice a day, very nice and clean room and bathroom one of the stuff members was not so welcoming..
Perfect location incentral area.Modern,quality decor and fittings,efficient and friendly staff.
The relationship with the hotel staff was excellent, they were very helpful whenever needed. The price range of the hotel is a little bit expensive in my opinions.
kindness of staff the rooms are old, the furniture and carpets are old. It needs renovation.
staff very polite and helpful
The hotel had a garage for my car. The "non-smoking" room had a lingering smoke smell. The complimentary breakfast was not that good - particularly the watered down juices.
Breakfast and gym All was good
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Mold in room, blood stain on bathroom floor, broken shower, dirty furniture, noisy room and ridiculous staff.
Great location, very nice neighborhood. Sometimes staff was especially nice and helpful (e.g. loaning me a personal charger, comping some internet charges). Room was not huge but comfortable and clean. Room rate was very reasonable for the location and hotel. Overall I would stay here again. Some odd policies. If someone from the hotel is reading this I would say - please stop trying to "nickel and dime" your customers. The internet was 10 euros/day - but you had to get new codes every day (super annoying) and they charged you by device. I am traveling for business and had 4 devices I needed codes for (phone, personal iPad, work iPad, work laptop). Paying by each is outrageous, especially when its standard for internet to work for at least 3 devices. This is not 2002 guys. Also had a strange incident trying to borrow a fork and knife. I had gone to the grocery to get some fruit because I was feeling a little gross due to overload of pasta and meat the last week. They tried to charge me to borrow a fork and knife. I couldn't believe it. I have done this dozens of times at other hotels.
The hotel needs updating and modernising it's like a 70s sitcom. Poor facilities all round compaired to some other hotels for the same budget. All of it.
i liked the spacious room, and the clean bathroom. the location is near to the metro station, nice neighborhood surrounded by good restaurants and nice shops. breakfast was also good.
Perfect 3* no paking near the hotel
Location. Near metro service and few minutes walk from city centre.
It's not far from metro, in the milan's centre, good staff and breakfast. there wasn't music chanel on the TV
Confort & location no
I like the location and the size of the bathroom There were neither carpet nor slipper at the room. Also when I reserved the room through booking.com, it was indicated that internet was free, but I was charged for internet connection. and the connection was poor
It's excellent location and the very friendly staff. The room was nice a spacious but could do with some upgrading as it was all a bit tired.
The location was excellent and the bathroom was nice. Breakfast was adequate but not great. Paying $25.00 for parking, decor was bad.
Comfort No free and convient internet access in room.
the location was very good, the staff was helpful The breakfast was very poor, the food minimal and almost finished 30 min. before closure; the breakfast bag was a joke! it would have been more honest of them to tell they can't provide breakfastbag:only bread/biscuits and jam-how about people with diabetes or on a diet?!
very good price and hotel location is very attractive
nothing dirty, old, small room, only italian tv channels....
Clean, free wi-fi in the rooms, helpful staff overpriced (90 euro per night), located far from the center and from the subway station. It was very cold during the night (mid October in Milan) - central heating was off and the ac split system was disabled
I think the furniture and rooms requires some upgrading but on the whole hotel was clean and staff were very friendly and helpful

Melanoma has gone from being Australia's national shame to the poster child of cancer treatment in less than half a decade, as new ways of attacking cancer have been developed.
Four years ago, patients who were diagnosed with stage four melanoma - where the cancer had spread to other parts of the body - were given only six to nine months to live.
The prognosis for such patients had been stagnant for 40 years while survival rates in almost every other type of cancer improved.
But now more than half the patients trialling a combination of two targeted drugs are still alive two years after beginning the medication, and 12 per cent have moved into complete remission.
Melanoma Institute's Associate Professor Georgina Long, who developed the drugs and recently presented the results to the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago, said only 10 to 15 per cent of melanoma patients could not be cured with surgery, but for those people the cancer was deadly.
Melanoma was fertile ground for research because survival rates were previously so dismal.
"When I wrote my first grant for my first job, melanoma was the most unsexy cancer you could treat because there was no treatments for it".
"It was so bad, we had to solve it," said Professor Long, who now advises a number of pharmaceutical companies developing melanoma drugs.
"We had to find a breakthrough, and we did".
The majority of melanoma patients are able to have the cancer treated before it moves to their lymph nodes, but about 1500 die from melanoma in Australia every year.
Chemotherapy, which was previously the only treatment option for melanoma patients, was notoriously ineffective. It operated by blasting all the cells, healthy or otherwise.
The new treatments target the specific genetic flaws that cause the cancer to grow.
Professor Long, who sees about 150 patients a month, said it used to be a good result if they were still alive at the end of the year.
"Now we're hitting three, four years," she said.
"That's more than tripling your life expectancy. But I want to go further than that.
"I get a lot of mums and dads with young kids, I have a lot of 26 year olds. This is Australia's issue."
Lydia Kassouaa, 46, would have been dead months ago if she had not been placed on the trial.
Diagnosed with melanoma six years ago, it was originally cut out at the expense of her toe, but it returned a year later.
She had further surgery on her foot, but it returned again, this time in clusters, moving up her ankle towards her groin.
Two years ago, she had five tumours between her groin and her neck.
She also had two children, then aged 12 and 10.
Professor Long put her on the drug trial and the cancer has disappeared.
"I was shocked, scared, frightened," said Ms Kassouaa, who was previously opposed to any kind of drugs including Panadol.
"We've come a long way."
A second trial involves immunotherapies, where instead of targeting the cancer cells the drug targets the person's T-cells and stimulates them to fight the cancer.
One such drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the US on Thursday - the first country to have done so.
"This is like a penicillin moment," Professor Long said.
Professor Long won the Wildfire Award at the NSW Premier's Awards for Outstanding Cancer Research last month.

The latest development in mobile device alerts could be vibrating tattoos, if a recent patent by Nokia is anything to go by. According to a filing to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the technology would involve the application of a 'ferromagnetic' material onto the user either by tattooing, spraying or stamping.
Once applied, the material would then be paired with a device which could transmit haptic feedback via the magnetic field. In theory, this could be similar to the slight vibration felt when interacting with some HTC or Samsung handsets currently utilising haptic feedback touch-screens.
The lead inventor of the technology is credited as Cambridge-based Zoran Radivojevic and the filing goes on to suggest that the innovation may also be utilised as a security measure or identity check. Each marking could be specially designed to create a unique magnetic fingerprint therefore only allowing specific access to a verified user.
Of course, this is only a patent application and Nokia hasn't said whether or not it will be pursuing the idea.
