Like a lot of stories of scandal, ruin, and the opportunity for redemption, it started with a pretty face. In the spring of 1964, 17-year old Marianne Faithfull walked into a swinging, star-studded London party and landed a record deal without singing a note; Andrew Loog Oldham, the Rolling Stones manager and world-class sleazeball, famously summed up the matter with his usual showbiz aplomb: "I saw an angel with big tits and signed her." Within the year, the bookish baroness' daughter was climbing the charts and making the rounds at concert halls and the BBC, thrust into a pop career she didn't much want in the first place. ("For one brief, blissful moment I thought I saw a way out of my pop nightmare," she wrote three decades later in her autobiography, Faithfull, which is every bit as insightful, vivid, and deliciously bonkers as Keith Richards' Life.) Faithfull was a passable vocalist with a folksy, melancholy, relatively generic lilt, but there was a certain vacancy and listlessness about her that suggested she'd not yet become comfortable in her skin. If you watch some of her earliest performances on YouTube, she has a way of making Lana Del Rey look present.
Faithfull started dating Mick Jagger in 1966, and her 60s output is generally only discussed in terms of how it relates to that of the Stones: "As Tears Go By" is more famous for being the first song Mick and Keith wrote together than for being Faithfull's debut single. On the personal front, though, the opposite was true: Notoriety had a way of sliding off the boys and sticking to Faithfull. After the infamous Redlands drug bust, the press dubbed her "Miss X" and, a bit more personably, "The Girl in the Fur Rug." ("SCANTILY CLAD WOMAN AT DRUG PARTY" screamed one representative headline.) To those closer to the Stones' circle, she was The Muse-- though by her account, her relationship with Jagger was a pretty mutual exchange of ideas, old records, and hallucinogens. Ever the avid reader, a little while prior to the Beggar's Banquet sessions, Faithfull handed him The Master and Margarita and suggested that this Lucifer guy might make for a good character in a song. She wrote the lyrics to "Sister Morphine", and cut a shudderingly melancholy version that makes the Stones' take almost seem like a romp. This was maybe the first big, public hint that Miss X knew more about pain and suffering than a lot of people wanted to assume. When she slipped into the coma that almost killed her-- the result of taking 150 Tuinals in a hotel room in Australia-- she had a vision that Brian Jones, just six days in the ground, was beckoning her over a cliff. He leapt; at the last minute she decided to stay. When she opened her eyes in a hospital room six days later, Mick said, "Marianne, we thought we'd lost you." In that milky voice that was already starting to curdle, the first thing she said to him was, "Wild horses couldn't drag me away."
That's the thing about pretty faces. We'd much prefer to watch them wilt. We don't expect them to belong to the fighters-- the junkies and monks and cockroaches who'll survive every atomic bomb and suicide attempt and outlive us all. And we definitely don't expect them to make songs as gnarled and candid as the ones on Faithfull's finest record, Broken English, but there you go: the best records are all, in some way or another, the ones that blow a mouthful of smoke in the face of expectation. The world that thought it had tsk-tsked Miss X into submission was probably not ready for Broken English in 1979, and even today as it's released in a deluxe edition, it's still raw enough to make you squirm-- the cracked, undead voice of a woman back from exile to make a record about the simple audacity of staying alive.
If you know one thing about Broken English, you probably know that Faithfull was living on the streets right before she made it. And unlike the Mars Bar myth (now thoroughly debunked by Faithfull, Keith Richards, and an honest-to-goodness policeman), this checks out. Broke, heroin-dependent, and (it seemed) professionally washed up, Faithfull spent the better part of two years living in a roofless pile of rubble in Soho, a bombed-out ruin of the Blitz. She was squatting with her then-husband Ben Brierley (of British punks the Vibrators) and riding the unexpected success of her forlorn ballad, "Dreamin' My Dreams" (a dud at home but a surprise hit in politically tumultuous Ireland, where, in 1976, "forlorn" was the mood of the hour) when somebody at her label rather improbably gave her the money to cut another record.
The resulting album feels so intimate and personal that it's easy to overstate its singularity. But Broken English is more than just a portrait of the addict as a middle-aged woman; it captures an entire generation's disillusioned comedown. "The days of mind-opening drugs were over," Faithfull writes in her autobiography, reflecting on the spiritual climate of the mid-70s. "The world had tilted. A major change in key had taken place. It was a Mahler symphony whirling madly out of control." And that's the key in which these songs were written and recorded. Much in the way the Stones did in the late 60s, Broken English taps into a collective consciousness. The new-wave-tinged title track evokes the anxious, prickling paranoia of the Cold War, a chillingly grim cover of "Working Class Hero" longs for the counterculture's idealistic faith in individuality, and the excellent "Brain Drain" ("Got so much to offer/ But I can't pay the rent/ I can't buy you roses 'cause the money's all spent") captures the hopelessness of the junkie's lifestyle. A rapidly deteriorating Tim Hardin co-wrote the lyrics on that last one with Faithfull and Brierley on a debauched trip to Antigua. Both implicitly and explicitly, it's a ballad of wasted genius. It's one of the last songs to bear Hardin's name-- he was dead of an overdose a little over a year after the record came out.
After dabbling in baroque pop and country, Faithfull drew fresh inspiration from the Sex Pistols and Brierley's clan in the late 70s, but Broken English is a punk record more in spirit than in sound. (It doesn't sound much like any of her subsequent records either; afterwards, she moved towards the Weill-meets-Tom-Waits-in-a-dank-cabaret sound of the excellent Strange Weather.) Stylistically, Broken English is a fusion of new wave, blues, reggae, and pop, created by a backing band talented enough to genre-hop deftly. Guitarist Barry Reynolds adds a particularly distinct flair to the record; on the incendiary "Why D'ya Do It", his barbed, sneering riff is the perfect match for Faithfull's legendary performance. Easily one of the best songs in her repertoire, "Why D'ya Do It" is also probably the most controversial-- a Heathcote Williams-penned, unfiltered torrent of lovers' rage scattered liberally but purposefully with a few words that still have the power to shock.
Broken English's most affecting moment is Faithfull's spellbinding rendition of Shel Silverstein's "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan", a song about a bored housewife dreaming of the exhilarating life and "thousand lovers" she never had, slowly going mad. Obviously, it's far from autobiography, but when you know Faithfull's history (a veritable primer on the pitfalls of an exhilarating life), the subtext becomes almost unbearably poignant. "Lucy Jordan is me if my life had take a different turn," she has said. "It's a song of identification with women who are trapped in that life and the true private horror of the 'good life.'" But the pain in her fractured voice tells a more complicated story, pointing towards the classic catch-22 that still plagues famous and unfamous women alike: The world will size you up and make you choose one of two roles, Miss X or Lucy Jordan. And the worst of it, Faithfull is saying in this evocative performance, is that the dreamy conjectures about what your life would have been had you chosen differently will not only prove incessant, they might actually drive you crazy.
The bonus material on this deluxe edition of Broken English doesn't add too much to the experience. With only one exception ("Sister Morphine"), the extra disc is all alternate mixes and extended cuts of the songs that made the record. If anything, the remixes' noodly accoutrements will make you appreciate the record's purposeful minimalism anew. In almost every case, wisely, producer Mark Miller Mundy and engineer Bob Potter let the unvarnished power of Faithfull's voice carry these songs. The deluxe edition also includes the great experimental filmmaker Derek Jarman's early music videos for "Broken English", "Witches Song", and "Lucy Jordan", but if you can make peace with the low quality you could have watched these on YouTube years ago. This particular re-release of Broken English isn't notable because of any new insight it brings to the listening experience, but for the simple fact that it might bring some new fans to an enduringly great record.
Faithfull has been clean for a while now, but she still speaks freely and unapologetically about the experiences that lead her to making this record. Last week I was listening to an interview with her that I assumed was current, done in promotion of the deluxe edition. I didn't realize it was a few years old until she started talking about Amy Winehouse hopefully and in the present tense. "She's young, she's rich, she feels absolutely immortal," Faithfull said, with obvious empathy. "They judge her [harshly]... but she's going to get through it all, I know it." Feeling a little haunted after hearing this, I put on Broken English immediately, and its sheer power and purpose had never felt more obvious. This record documents a particular shade of darkness not everybody lives to describe. Like Faithfull identifying with her opposite in Lucy Jordan, Broken English is an almost otherworldly communion with the other side; it's a record for the Joneses and the Hardins and the Winehouses and all the other voices that the wild horses dragged away before they could say anything this honest about their pain. Aching and defiantly alive, it still bleeds like it was cut yesterday.

The choices people make about their yards, their pets and disposal of liquid and solid wastes have an impact on the ocean and on the streams and rivers that flow into the ocean.
Here are a few things that you can do…
Properly dispose of pet waste. Bring bags to collect pet waste and throw it away in a trashcan. This helps decrease the amount of waste that is washed into streams, rivers and beaches when it rains.
Dispose of trash properly. Place all waste in a trashcan, not on the beach or in the water.
Use natural products in your yard. Whenever possible, minimize or eliminate the use of chemical herbicides and pesticides because they pollute the water.
For more information, contact the Beach program at 971.673.0400.

The 2014 Transit Connect will feature Torque Vectoring Control. This dynamic technology is usually found only on premium vehicles. It uses the vehicle's braking system to imitate the effect of a torque vectoring differential, constantly balancing the distribution of engine torque between the two front wheels to suit driving conditions and road surface. In particular, when accelerating through corners, the system applies braking to the front inside wheel so more of the engine torque goes to the outside wheel, which provides enhanced traction and handling. The system is designed to provide drivers with confidence and control.

The social network for students and teachers of "A Course in Miracles"
How has your life changed since you began to study and practice ACIM? What was it like before you studied ACIM? What led you to it? How has your life changed since you began studying and practicing it's principles?
I studied ACIM back in the late 1990s and then set it aside. Now I'm gong through a spiritual crisis that has led me back to it. I'm wondering if we could share stories with each other.
Rick, if you haven't already done so, I highly recommend checking out The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard. It explains A Course in Miracles like nothing else does. You can read excerpts of it on Gary's website and see if it's for you: http://www.garyrenard.com/Preview.htm
Giddy up!
Thanks for the heads up Mike. I'll check it out!
I am interested in hearing stories from members of the community though. Sorta like testifying...
Well, I share my insights and experiences in my book, Dude, Where's My Jesus Fish? And Gary was kind enough to write the Foreword for it. Giddy up!
So to hear you share your story of how ACIM has changed you, I will have to pay $15.00?
Hi Rick -
I started ACIM in 1997 when I broke down with debilitating anxiety and panic attacks - I haven't put the book down since. It has been the one thing that has helped me recover - and I honestly don't know where I'd be without it!
There is a group on MiracleShare also where we were sharing our stories - check out this group too!
Mike is a busy guy and I'm sure he'd write more if he could - but you can also listen to his interview with Danielle which is posted on this group if you'd like (his interview is in thediscussion).
Many blessings!
Thank you Corinne for your share. I will check out the links you offered. My apologies to Mike for the judgmental response.
No worries Rick. We're all practicing the process of forgiving here :) I'm always taking things to the Holy Spirit (most of my life at this point, lol!). Definitely check the links - and I'm so glad you started the discussion here too! :)
No problem Rick. And thanks Corinne : )
Hi Rick!
I started the Course almost 2 years ago and I am so grateful I did. It has brought me peace and helped me begin to realize that I know NOTHING. Lol
This past year has been incredibly painful and if it wasn't for ACIM, I would be a mess...an angry, resentful victim. Instead I am humbled. Sad and still little angry at times, but ultimately grateful for the lessons.
Welcome to Miracle Share. We're so happy you're here ♥
Love Danielle
thanks Danielle. That's how i'm feeling right now. raw. I just lost a relationship with someone I care for very much. We were engaged to be married. This morning I recieved the following guidance during my morning meditation:
"take each moment one breath at a time. when thoughts of past regrets and future anxieties come, come back to the breath. past and future are illusion. truth can only be found in the present moment. you do not understand the meaning of any gift i have given you or taken away. each gift is a lesson to be learned, and each vacancy is a place for me to enter."
Easier said than done.
i want to be free of this pain. I've studied the Course before - many years ago. It's calling me back. I'm on Lesson 25 of the WB ad reading alittle form the Text and Teachers Manual a little every day. Just looking for like minded folks and some spiritual support.
That guidance is beautiful and so spot-on, I think.
It helps me to remember that all pain is the same. At our root, we are grieving a separation from God...a separation that never occurred. But we think it did...and we feel compelled to relive it. We think we need to have pain...God can't catch us feeling good after what we did to Him! We think we're so guilty, so bad. We're not though. We're perfect.
But for now, there's nothing to do but go through it and to take it all to the Holy Spirit. It sucks, but at the same time it's serving to help us remember the Truth.
You are not alone, Rick.
Love Danielle

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to renew my visa and I am from the Philippines. It's really hard to do in Guangdong for some reason. Can anyone please help or give me any suggestions to try?
Thank you all in advance.
Renewing in GD, I'm not sure about that, but have you contacted visa agencies in HK?
Perhaps you miss this little news that China and Philippines are in a territorial distribute. This is form is bless not to have this blind nationalist discussion but I added to this topic because this is directly related why you can not get a visa in China.
Hi Filipina, go to this website and have a look.http://www.zhga.gov.cn/list.aspx?id=075432694813. Hope it will help you .
@nevermore: distribute sounds nice, I am afraid you mean dispute.

Orcs Must Die is a lot of fun - WELL worth £3...
Some levels can be a bit frustrating (unlike most TD games, the hard part is at the start of each level where you're easily overrun - once you've done a few waves the rest tends to be carnage - but FUN carnage).
Took me a good 10 hours to clear the core campaign on the middle difficulty - there's a harder mode and there's a score challenge for each level too - and some DLC if you're still hungry after that...
Portal 2 is $0.19 over my Steam purchase threshold, if I didn't know better I'd think they were playing with me. :) Eh, it'll wait.
Men of War: Vietnam is tempting at that price, especially with a new version of the Dynamic Campaign generator available which is Vietnam-compatible, but I wouldn't play it right away so I think I'll stick to my "no buying stuff just because it's cheap" guns. I've cut my game spending in half on that basis and still have more stuff to play than I remotely have time for, anyway.
My name is Vinraith, and I'm a game hoarder. I've been clean for 2 months...

Remember guys, try not to buy games until the final day because you don't know what will go on a daily sale.
Hmm -- interested in both Risen and EYE. On the other hand, I must save some ideas for Christmas...
I chose it for a reason. :)
If it makes you feel any better, I just ran over to Matrix and dropped $20 on the new Distant Worlds expansion, which for me really is a much better buy. I'll get worlds more gameplay out of that than I would any four $5 games I might buy in a Steam sale just because they're cheap.

I'd be up for a Renegade Ops 4-pack if someone from the US is hosting.
Not worth it. AFAIK DCG still doesn't do anything for AI and Vietnam is on the old engine. Use Assault Squad DCG instead.
(Setting is sadly irrelevant; Vietnam is a couple of shoddy reskins such that it's basically impossible to differentiate from the WW2 games)
I understand OMD is more physics based and lets you freely chain traps together, but is there any other reason at all to get this if you have Dungeon Defenders?

As founder and executive vice president, David Hitz is responsible for the future strategy and direction of Network Appliance. David Hitz and James Lau founded Network Appliance in 1992 with a desire to simplify storage the way Cisco simplified networking. Mr. Hitz and Mr. Lau believed that general-purpose computing systems were too complex, so they built dedicated devices called appliances. These appliances were designed to do one thing well: storage. Thus, the word appliance was inserted into the company name.
Prior to this, Mr. Hitz worked as a senior engineer at Auspex Corporation, an enterprise storage solutions provider, where he was responsible for file systems and microkernel design. He also held engineering positions at MIPS Computer, focusing on file system and I/O subsystem design for the System V kernel development effort.

People at First Fort Smith (1817-1824)
The first Fort Smith was established by Major William Bradford and a company of the U.S. Rifle Regiment in December 1817 to maintain peace between local Osage Indians and emigrating Cherokees. The 1822 Treaty of Fort Smith, negotiated by Col. Mathew Arbuckle, then the fort's commanding officer, and Indian Commissioner James Miller, reconciled most of the difficulties between the Osage and the Cherokee. |

In partnership with the South African Department of Cooperation and International Relations and the Embassy of France the next Consultative Workshop of the Public Sector Foreign Languages Forum will start on September 1st, 2011.
This Forum will host representatives from Governmental and Para-governmental agencies in order to achieve a specific foreign language training programme.
Actually last year new participants such as the Department of Trade and Industry, the Home affairs or the SARS expressed their needs for more than twenty different languages. Most requested were French, Swahili, Portuguese, English, Chichewa/Nyanja and Igbo. About 8000 employees were identified to participate to the foreign language training programme.
The results of the need analysis were clear, foreign languages are requested in South Africa to develop Bilateral and multilateral relations with international organizations as AU, IBSA or SADC and also for trade and development opportunities. Those languages are essentials as well, for missions such as peace-keeping in Africa or scientific and cultural exchanges.
This year the Public Sector Foreign Languages Forum will host Mr Frank Heyworth Special Advisor from the European Association of Quality Language Services who will bring his expertise and will facilitate the Forum.

– Bernd Debusmann is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own. –
YUCCA MOUNTAIN, Nevada (Reuters) – Will this barren mountain rising up to 4,950 feet from the Mojave desert look roughly the same in the year 1,002,008? That's a million years into the future.
The question may sound bizarre but its answer is key to the future of a decades-old, controversial project to store America's nuclear waste in the belly of Yucca Mountain, on the edge of a nuclear test site and 95 miles from Las Vegas. The narrow road from there winds through a desolate landscape of sparse vegetation — creosote scrub, cactus and gnarled Joshua trees.
"This is probably the world's most intensely studied mountain," says Michael Voegele, one of the senior engineers on the project, standing beside the "Yucca Mucker", a 720-ton cylinder-shaped machine that has drilled a five-mile tunnel into the mountain. "And yet, there will be even more study."
Indeed. In September, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised its original safety standards for what would be the world's first deep underground nuclear mausoleum. Those standards were meant to protect the health of people living near Yucca Mountain for 10,000 years from the time the mountain is filled with 70,000 tons of radioactive nuclear waste.

SCENE 1 FADE IN: EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE-D (OPTICAL) Scene is of deep space interrupted only by a distant nebula or other touch of color, not the same area of space as the TEASER, but very similar. Suddenly the Enterprise, designated NCC-1701- D, enters the scene. Camera closes on the ship as it passes. We hear the voice of JEAN-LUC PICARD, Captain of the Enterprise- D as the OPTICAL continues. PICARD (V.O.) Captain's Log, Stardate 44635.3. We are exploring a section of space never before open to Federation vessels. This sector was first claimed by the Klingon Empire and they are just now admitting that they do not have the time, resources or inclination to explore it. The Enterprise has therefore been given permission to explore here. INT. READY ROOM Twenty three years later, aboard the Enterprise-D, PICARD sits in his ready room pondering some abstract mathematical problem in a rare moment of ease. Suddenly the voice of his First Officer, Commander RIKER sounds over the room speakers. RIKER (O.S.) Captain, we are receiving a signal from a point five light years ahead along our present course. PICARD replies keeping his eyes on his terminal while he speaks. PICARD What is the nature of the signal, Number One? RIKER (O.S.) It seems to be a Federation code, Sir, from a starship. (a beat) Some sort of automated beacon. RIKER has PICARD'S complete attention now. PICARD But, that's impossible, Number One, we are the first Federation starship to travel into this sector. RIKER (O.S.) I know, Sir, but that's what our instruments say it is. PICARD What vessel registration is it signaling? RIKER (O.S.) NCC-1701-C, USS Enterprise. PICARD is startled out of his seat, he STANDS, tugs at his uniform and WALKS around his desk toward the door to the Ready Room. PICARD On my way, Number One. PICARD CROSSES the room as the camera follows, the DOORS OPEN and he steps out onto the bridge of the ship. INT. MAIN BRIDGE REVERSE ANGLE on PICARD as he steps out of his ready room. RIKER is STANDING at center bridge in front of the command chair, he follows Picard with his eyes as he approaches. WORF is at TACTICAL and DATA is at OPS. SUPERNUMERARIES as needed. PICARD WALKS over to his command chair and sits as he delivers his line. PICARD Exactly what type of signal are we receiving, Number One? RIKER takes up a position to Picard's right and NODS to WORF. RIKER Mr. Worf. WORF The signal is of the old style sub-space run length encoding. It is simply signaling position. (a beat) It could be a recorder marker. Coding is consistent with the era of the Enterprise- C. PICARD I see, thank you, Mr. Worf. (a beat) Mr. Data, what do you know about the Enterprise-C? RIKER smiles and sits in his chair next to Picard. He knows the answer and knows Data will give more detail than anyone is willing to listen to, but he remains silent. DATA The USS Enterprise, Navel Construction Contract 1701-C, commissioned on stardate 20134.5, first and only commander Captain Rachel Garrett. (a beat) Reported missing near Klingon space twenty three years, six months and five days ago. It is believed that the ship came to the aid of a Klingon outpost at Norendra III that lies 10 parsecs distant in the furthermost reaches of the Klingon Exploration Zone. (a beat) The Klingon outpost was attacked by Romulans and saved at the last minute by an unknown vessel. Two thirds of the population of the outpost were killed, including the Governor General. The Enterprise was last known to be in the area, so it is likely that she was the mystery vessel. However, because of the destruction on the outpost and the subsequent withdrawal from the planet by the Klingon's, records are not complete. Witnesses from the General's staff have testified that a Federation vessel did in fact come to their aid and drew the Romulans away, but they could not positively identify it as the Enterprise. (a beat) Star Fleet considers her missing in action, and presumed destroyed. The incident is widely considered to have been pivotal in the . . . Half way through Data's speech Picard begins to rub his head in dismay. Riker's smile widens. Riker decides to take pity on Picard and jumps in with some specific questions. RIKER Thank you, Data, a most thorough report. (a beat) What is our ETA to the beacon at our current speed? DATA ETA to beacon location is 12.75 minutes, at current velocity. PICARD Where is the beacon located, Mr. Data? DATA Beacon is emanating from within Star System KEZ591, directly ahead along our present heading, Sir. (a beat) Long range sensors now indicating that the source of the beacon transmissions is in orbit around the third planet of that system. RIKER In orbit! PICARD Are you thinking what I am, Number One? RIKER Could there actually be survivors on that planet? To have survived all these years would have taken an enormous amount of discipline and perseverance. PICARD Not only that, but if they survived the battle well enough to make it out here, why didn't they try to make it back to the Federation? Riker nods, he had not thought of that twist! PICARD (CONT.) Data, any additional readings on the source of the beacon, can we tell if it is a vessel or a recorder marker? DATA We are not close enough for that determination, Captain. But, sensors do show that the source of the beacon is in a stable orbit approximately two-thirds of the planetary diameter in apogee. Riker and Picard exchange a knowing look. RIKER Standard orbit? DATA It is within nominal parameters of a standard orbit, Sir. (a beat) Readings on KEZ591 III coming in now, Captain. Sensors indicate it is a Class M planet. DATA (CONT.) (a beat) Entering short range sensor range now, Captain. PICARD Can you get me a picture, Data? DATA Yes, Sir. RIKER On screen, Data, extreme magnification. DATA works his console. CAMERA SHIFTS to a shot from upstage toward the MAIN VIEWER. The view screen shows a shot of DEEP SPACE and then waivers to show a PLANETARY SCENE. The PLANET is BROWNISH in color with WHITE CLOUDS and some LARGE BODIES OF WATER but no oceans. A BRIGHT SPOT can be seen traversing the planet. The VIEW SHIFTS again to a CLOSE UP of the PLANET and the Enterprise-C. The ship looks badly damaged with a great deal of black scoring and patches on it's exterior. PICARD and then RIKER STAND and APPROACH the forward control stations for a closer look. RIKER My God, they actually made it! Camera shifts to reverse angle close-up on Picard. PICARD Not by much from the look of her. It seems that Star Fleet was hasty in their assessment. (a beat) Worf, are there any life signs on the ship? Camera SHOT WIDENS to encompass PICARD, RIKER and WORF at his station. WORF No life signs are registering, Sir. However . . . (a beat) There are life signs registering on the planet itself. No indication of how many or of what type, but definite life signs nonetheless. DATA Approaching KEZ591 III, Sir. Riker and Picard move back to there seats and sit. RIKER Take up a standard orbit, Mr. Data. Bring us in parallel to the orbit of the Enterprise-C. DATA Aye, Sir, standard orbit. EXT. SPACE - THE TWO ENTERPRISES (OPTICAL) Camera shows the Enterprise-C in orbit around the planet. The Enterprise-D approaches along a parallel course and slows to match speed with the Enterprise-C. INT. MAIN BRIDGE As we just saw them. Shot on DATA then widen to a MEDIUM SHOT of the bridge crew after Data's speech. DATA Standard orbit established. We are in a parking orbit, 500 meters from the Enterprise-C. RIKER Worf, pinpoint those life signs and give us a detailed reading. WORF Aye, Sir. Scanning now. (a beat) Reading a small village with a few tens of life signs. Definitely humanoid readings, Sir. A few refined metals, otherwise it looks fairly primitive. Minimal power generation. PICARD Picard to Doctor Crusher, have a medical team standing by for a possible medical emergency. CRUSHER (O.S.) Crusher here. Aye, Captain. PICARD Hail the surface, Mr. Worf, perhaps they still have working communications. WORF Hailing frequencies open, Sir. PICARD This is the . . . a Federation starship, Captain Jean-Luc Picard commanding. Do you read us? WORF Reply coming in, Sir. (a beat) It's audio only. A female with a hauntingly familiar voice can now be heard replying to the hail. There is a considerable amount of static. YAR We read you, Captain Picard. Picard and Riker exchange a glance, they recognize the voice but cannot quite place it. Data suspects who it is, but his logical mind does not permit him to speculate since he is not certain. PICARD Who am I speaking too? YAR That's not important right now, Captain, and I'm afraid it would take a little bit of explanation. PICARD We are standing by to transport a relief party to your location, are you in need of assistance? YAR Negative, Enterprise. Request that you beam us up so that we can explain our situation. Two to beam up from these coordinates. WORF Coordinates confirmed, Sir, we have a lock. PICARD Very well, we will beam you up shortly. Picard out. RIKER She said Enterprise, Sir. A slip of the tongue? PICARD I don't know, Number One, but I think we will find out. (a beat) Worf, Number One, with me. Mr. Data, you have the bridge. PICARD, RIKER and WORF DEPART for the transporter room to greet their guests. Camera follows them until they ENTER the TURBO LIFT stage right. INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM (OPTICAL) O'BRIEN works at the console as PICARD and party ENTER the room. They take up positions in front of the console, Picard up stage from Riker and Worf. Worf is closest to the forward pad of the transporter platform. PICARD Energize! O'BRIEN WORKS the CONSOLE to energize and TWO FIGURES begin to TAKE SHAPE on the platform. TASHA YAR appears on the platform, a middle aged Yar. Besides her is RICHARD CASTILLE, apparently in his early fifties. Yar sees Worf and her eyes go wild. She LUNGES at Worf. YAR Captain, look out, a KLINGON! Although she is now middle aged, she is still in great shape. She manages to take a stunned Worf down to the floor and pin him. Riker moves in and tries to pull her off Worf. He is still not aware it is Tasha Yar. RIKER No, that's Worf, he's part of our crew! Worf is stunned, he can't believe this woman has attacked him. He couldn't even bring himself to defend himself, since he could not make himself hit a middle aged woman. WORF Cease! Do not make me injure you! Castille and Riker finally manage to pull Tasha off Worf, she is helped to her feet by Riker, and Worf gets himself up. YAR You know him, Commander? RIKER Of course I do, he's our security chief. Of course she does not know Worf, since she is a war timeline Tasha, and not the Tasha they knew. She is irate that a Klingon is on the ship that she loved, that she gave up to help Castille and the Enterprise-C. Riker finally gets a good look at the woman and is stunned by what he sees. YAR How could a filthy Klingon become our Security Chief? Worf growls at Yar, he still has not made the connection. RIKER You bear a striking resemblance to a woman who once served on this ship! Worf finally notices the resemblance and is shocked into silence. Picard is still stunned by the whole incident, moves in closer to Yar and finally manages to speak. PICARD Tasha, can it really be you? YAR Yes, Captain, but I may not be the same Tasha Yar you remember. (a beat) You see, I've been living in my past for over twenty three years! Camera closes on Picard's face as dramatic music plays in the background. FADE TO BLACK. END OF SCENE 1.

Jack Sovelove earns honorable mention for his artwork in the 2010 statewide Voters' Pamphlet
May 24, 2011 · Updated 9:02 AM
By Cali Bagby
Principal Linda Martin stood in front of students at Lopez Elementary School and told them, "This is something that you'll grow up and you'll tell people about."
The students were waiting for Secretary of State, Sam Reed to present fifth grader Jack Sovelove with a certificate of award and honorable mention for his art featured in the 3.5 million copies of the 2010 statewide Voters' Pamphlet.
In honor of 100 years of women's suffrage in Washington state, the contest theme was "Women's Votes. Women's Voices."
The drawing, displayed on the Kids can vote page inside the pamphlet, depicts a women with the image of American flags in the reflection of her sunglasses.
Sovelove says that back in September, he was surprised to learn his photo was in the pamphlet.
He didn't even know his teacher had submitted his art. Then in November he received phone calls from grandparents and cousins off island who have seen the pamphlet.
If he realizes how widely distributed his work is, he doesn't show it.
"I was just trying to get the assignment done," Sovelove said with a shrug.
Sovelove likes to draw cartoons and animation and is a fan of Matt Groening of "The Simpsons" and Gary Larson of the "Far Side."
Soveleve's father Steve Sovelove said his son gets his artistic talent from a little bit of both sides of the family.
"I'm very proud of him," said his mother Alisa Ball.
When Reed arrived at the school he told the students how amazed he was by the drawings submitted for the contest.
About 300 students took part of last year's contest.
"We've been doing this few years," said Reed. "We like to get involved with young people."
Students and faculty clapped as Reed presented Sovelove the official certificate of award.
"I'm proud to present this certificate," said Reed shaking Sovelove's hand.
"I would frame it," suggested one student as several fifth graders crowded around Sovelove to admire the document and run their fingers over the golden seal.

White House Releases FY2013 Budget Proposal
On Monday, February 13, 2012, President Obama sent his budget proposal for FY 2013 to Congress. Notably, the $3.8 trillion spending plan would use savings from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to nearly double federal spending on transportation projects. The Obama administration proposes to spend $476 billion over six years on surface transportation projects, including $50 billion this year. According to this analysis from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the proposal would provide $305 billion for road and bridge projects (a 34 percent increase over the previous authorization) and $108 billion for transit projects (a 105 percent increase). Additionally, the budget would provide $47 billion for high-speed rail projects, including $2.5 billion in the first year, and $30 billion for safety programs. To bridge the gap between revenues from transportation user fees and expenditures, the proposal would transfer $38.5 billion per year from general revenues to the Highway Trust Fund.
CMAP supports increased funding for transportation, and the six-year White House proposal of $476 billion compares favorably to the U.S. Senate proposal's $109 billion over two years or the U.S. House of Representative proposal's $262 billion over five years. However, the President's budget would not raise traditional user fees, nor would it establish new sustainable revenue sources. Instead it relies on general revenues, which would be contrary to decades of transportation financing practices and would require transportation projects to compete for funding with other federal programs.
The President's budget proposal comes after the White House issued a statement on February 9, 2012, in support of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), the Senate's transportation reauthorization bill. Federal Fiscal Year 2013 begins October 1, 2012.

Missouri Basketball continues its road swing on Saturday afternoon as the Tigers lock-up with Arkansas for the 39th time in series history and the first time as league counterparts .
How even is this series?
Both clubs own a 10-8 series lead on their home courts and Arkansas earned an 81-73 win in Anchorage, Alaska, on Nov. 28, 1980.
Of course Mike Anderson spent five seasons at Missouri and helped the Tigers to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments, with a Big 12 Tournament title in 2009 .
Anderson was 111-56 in his five years in Columbia, but since Frank Haith's arrival the Tigers are 48-11 and Haith is two wins shy of becoming the fastest Mizzou Head Coach to 50 wins in program history.
For more information go to www.mutigers.com
> Missouri is the lone high major team in college hoops with six players averaging double figures in scoring ... The Tigers have been one of college basketball's more balanced scoring teams since 2010-11 having five players in double figures in 2010-11 and 2011-12 before having six in double figures this season.

Nor'easter hits areas struck by super storm Sandy
Wet snow and heavy winds thrashed New York City and much of the Northeast, forcing evacuations in areas flooded by Sandy last week and knocking out power to some areas where it had just been restored. Read more
Image 1 of 8
Staten Island, N.Y.
In the neighborhood of New Dorp in Staten Island, N.Y., 3 to 4 inches of snow blanketed the area, making the cleanup effort from super storm Sandy that much more difficult. Most residents have left because of lack of electricity and services.

Journal of Language Modelling is a free (for readers and authors alike) open-access peer-reviewed journal aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical linguistics and natural language processing. Although typical articles are concerned with linguistic generalisations – either with their application in natural language processing, or with their discovery in language corpora – possible topics range from linguistic analyses which are sufficiently precise to be implementable to mathematical models of aspects of language, and further to computational systems making non-trivial use of linguistic insights.
Papers are reviewed within less than three months of their receipt, and they appear as soon as they have been accepted – there are no delays typical of traditional paper journals. Accepted articles are then collected in half-yearly numbers and yearly volumes, with continuous page numbering, and are made available as hard copies via print on demand, at a nominal fee. On the other hand, Journal of Language Modelling has a fully traditional view of quality: all papers are carefully refereed by at least three reviewers (including at least one member of the Editorial Board) and they are only accepted if they adhere to the highest scientific, typographic and stylistic standards.
Apart from full-length articles, the journal also accepts squibs and polemics with other papers, as well as book reviews. All journal content appears on a Creative Commons licence (by default: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0).
In order to submit an article, you have to be registered. Further submission instructions for Authors are available here.

Ask the Plastic Surgeon: Basic rules to follow before surgery
by Hass Plastic Surgery & MedispaQuestion: How should I prepare for cosmetic surgery?
Answer: The first important step is to gather information and then follow up with a consultation with a physician. In our office we review procedures, recovery and costs. For specific details, or to start your research you may want to look at doctors' web sites as well as sites for the American Society of Plastic Surgery (plasticsurgery.org) and the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (aspors.org)
Once you've decided on your doctor and procedures, the next important step is to plan ahead. Recovery times and post-operative limitations vary according to surgery and are an import part of planning. Often the most difficult part may be finding a period oftime that you can devote to adequate recovery. More importantly, a low stress recovery period is key to having an easy experience both physically and mentally!
Another important factor can be quitting smoking. This is not necessary for all surgeries, however in our office it is important for those patients doing their lower face and neck, breast lifts or reduction and tummy tuck. Give yourself enough time to quit and allow the nicotine to clear your system. Have your blood pressure checked and treated especially if it is higher than 130/85. Last, but not least, stop all aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, vitamins and supplements for at least two weeks prior to surgery to minimize bruising and bleeding.
-Brian Hass, M.D.

COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Despite times when the weather looked like it might spoil a patriotic afternoon, Mother Nature cooperated, and the Stars and Stripes flew.
Hundreds filled Finlay Park Saturday for the Celebrate Freedom Festival. The event included helicopter and military vehicle displays, live music, and kids even got to take part in their own mini basic training.
"You'd be walking through the park , and somebody would come up to me and say 'Thank you.', explains Vietnam veteran James Filiatreault. "When I got back from Vietnam in '69, that wasn't that way. So, it means a lot."
The event was organized by the Celebrate Freedom Foundation - a non-profit corporation dedicated to "promoting lasting patriotism and honoring our military".
WACH Fox was a sponsor of the event.

Powerful, sensitive and with flashes of broad humour, The Browning Version is set in an English public school on the eve of retirement of failed classics master, Andrew Crocker-Harris. As he confronts the wreckage of his marriage and career, his flat is invaded by a succession of visitors, revelations and betrayals.
Our Review:
15 September 2011
The final stage of Chichester's Rattigan celebration couples his one-act play of thwarted ambition and loveless marriage with a new play from David Hare looking at life in a public school about 15 years later, at the start of 60s.
Hare's opener has as its main theme that of Blakemore, a friendless boy at a public school (his outsider status rather heavy-handedly emphasised by his perpetual reading of L'Etranger), his struggles to come to terms with the pointlessness of the school rules, the dislike of his fellow pupils and his struggles with the Anglicanism that lies at the heart of the school's ethos. Jeremy Herrin's production captures the claustrophobic atmosphere of a venerable institution trying to come to terms with the onset of a modern age.
Alex Lawther perfectly captures the awkwardness of Blakemore well and there's good support too from Anna Chancellor as the sympathetic mother of a fellow pupil, Nicholas Farrell as his sympathetic but...

Gareth James - 12 October 2011:
This is the sixth, and probably last, of my Rattigan centenary productions. His short one-acter, The Browning Version, set in a public school in the 40��s is usually paired with another one-acter called Harlequinade. Here it��s paired with a new play from David Hare set in a similar school 20 years later. Rattigan��s play is a deeply moving tale of a school master with an unfaithful wife and unfair employer, but at its heart is an act of kindness by a pupil. A set of superb performances make Angus Jackson��s production shine like a gem. Nicholas Farrell as the master is initially pompous and irritating, but then almost breaks your heart. Anna Chancellor is icy cold as his unfaithful wife and Mark Umbers diffident but ultimately sympathetic as her lover. Liam Morton gives a very nuanced performance as the boy, a most auspicious professional debut. It��s a subtle and sensitive staging which benefits greatly from the intimacy of the Minerva space. Hare��s ��curtain raiser�� shows 60��s boys more questioning and challenging, but little else has changed in public schools with bullying a fact of daily school life. Older pupil Jeremy takes young John under his wing introducing him to his mother, Anna Chancellor now in a much more sympathetic role. Again, an act of kindness is at the heart of the play, but this time we see things from the perspective of the pupil. The younger boys �C Alex Lawther��s John, Jack Elliott��s Gunter (two more outstanding professional debuts) and Bradley Hall��s Jenkins are terrific and again the staging, this time by Jeremy Herrin, is subtle and sensitive. Though they are very different plays, they sit very comfortably together and provide a deeply rewarding and very human evening, linked by these acts of kindness 20 years apart and 50-70 years ago, yet timeless. ...

Crash on West Tapps sends one to trauma center | East Pierce Fire & Rescue
May 16, 2012 · 7:52 AM
East Pierce Fire and Rescue firefighters responded to numerous reports of a collision on the 4100 block of West Tapps at 9:22 p.m. Tuesday, May 15. Witnesses said that a pickup truck traveling at a high rate of speed, hit a sedan pulling out of a drive way. The impact of the crash was so violent that it ejected the driver of the sedan approximately 120 feet from the vehicle onto the roadway.
The truck also hit a third vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.
The driver of the sedan was transported to an area trauma center with life threatening injuries.
Two occupants of the third vehicle were uninjured. The driver of the truck refused treatment and was taken into custody.
The road was closed in both directions for several hours as Pierce County Sheriff's deputies
conducted their investigation.

Apple pushing Mini DisplayPort through no-fee licenses
Apple is offering no-fee Mini DisplayPort licenses to anyone interested in designing products around the new specification, a move the company hopes will take the fledgling display connector mainstream.The Mini DisplayPort is a small form factor connector invented by Apple to fully support the VESA DisplayPort protocol. Unlike the Mini-DVI and Micro-DVI connectors common on previous generation Apple products, the port is capable of driving resolutions up to 2560x1600, which is commonly used on 30-inch displays.
In an update to its software licensing page spotted by ArsTechnica, Apple announced that it's not charging for Mini DisplayPort licenses, which can be obtained by filling out a Mini DisplayPort Implementation Agreement [PDF].
The Cupertino-based company notes that Mini DisplayPort is "particularly useful on systems where space is at a premium, such as portable computers or to support multiple connectors on reduced height add-in cards."
Mini DisplayPort can already be found on the latest family of MacBooks, MacBook Pros, and MacBook Airs, in addition to the new 24-inch LED Cinema Display. Apple has also said it plans to implement the connector on all of its future Mac designs.
By offering no-fee licenses, the Mac maker hopes other PC vendors will adopt MiniDisplay port and help build a market for compatible devices. The move also presents the possibility that third parties will develop some well sought-after solutions, like a Mini DispayPort to HDMI adapter for hooking MacBooks up to HDTVs and a connector that will allow older Macs to connect to the new 24-inch LED Apple Cinema Display.
