I met Koa this weekend and she's a really great dog! In fact, I was getting some pressure to consider her but Franny doesn't like girls she hasn't raised herself.
She's about 1 year old and spayed, recently UTD with vaccines and goes to the vet regularly.
According to her person:
She is GREAT with other dogs and children (we have four daughters, including a baby!) We are hoping she can find a home that can engage her active mind and body! She loves everyone she meets, and is such a sweet girl. She is also LIGHTNING fast, and loves to play with her ball and any rope toys you give her! She is an extremely fast learner, and LOVES to please you! We feel she would be an excellent canine athletic prospect.
When I took some time with Koa, she was very focused on her ball and hunted/searched for it for about 3 minutes (until she found it). A friend was able to do a ball retrieve/tug exchange and she tugged like a champ. Was not sparky with any of the dogs on leash at the training sessions and was not so over the top that she couldn't focus within site of the racing lanes (with running, tugging dogs and lots of loud voices). Very sweet with all people that approched her and gave plenty of kisses.
Everyone agreed that she is not pure APBT/AmStaff/bully breed and many of the border collie people saw BC in her.
Structure is nice with good rear angulation. She's probably about 45-50 pounds and could stand to lose a little chub and gain some muscle.
Her current family is very overwhlemed with Koa. They have 4 daughters that looked all under the age of 7 and two were a toddler and a baby. Local flyball people have given her some training and games to teach and it's helped but Koa is really looking for an active home that has time for her. She heard that there was a bully family coming to the training weekend and while she's not right for our home, I told her I'd put her out there.
If you are interested, please PM me. I have both phone and email information for Koa's family. I believe that the family is not asking for a fee but will be screening carefully.

You can pick your friends…
Headshots are a Canucks Army feature where we link to the day's freshest news, and other assorted Canucks web-goodies. If you've written a blogpost, produced a tribute video or birthed a clever .gif into existence – please e-mail me at email@example.com.
Yesterday I wrote about the Canucks recent struggles, today Cam Charron fleshed the topic out more thoroughly over at Nucksmisconduct.
Daniel Wagner at Pass it to Bulis laments that the Kesler-Vigneault blood-feud never actually raised itself to the heated levels of a "spat."
Gordon Macintyre praises the newfound effectiveness of the second power-play unit. On a vaguely related note: one of my pet peeves is when teams use lumbering defenseman in net presence roles with the man-advantage. John Scott isn't going to become the next Luc Robitallie just because he's gigantic. It seems to me that using Burrows on the point is, to some extent, the inverse of that common tactical error. Burrows is one of the best net-presence players in the league, and I have to think that his talents are largely wasted on the point. Alain Vigneault knows what he's doing, but I can't help but think that if you're going to convert one Canucks forward to play the right side point on the power-play, doesn't the guy with the massive, accurate, right-handed slap-shot make more sense in that role than Burrows does?
Loved this Puck Daddy infographic of players who played more than one-thousand games for the same team. Trevor Linden is the only Canuck who makes the list for now, though both Sedin twins will join him at some point in the 2013-14 season (barring injury). Hopefully by the time they do, they'll have little red Stanley Cups beside their photos!
Roberto Luongo cuts a new public service announcement for Canuck Place. Please give if you're in a position to do so!
Finally, Harrison Mooney douses the dreams of the legions of Canucks fans who desperately hope that Shea Weber ends up in a Canucks jersey in the near future. Oh well, there's always Jason Garrison!

How To Beat Runner's Knee
Table of Contents
The proper balance of quality and quantity is key when developing a cross-training program.
Getting injured while injured sounds a bit paradoxical, doesn't it? However, taking on an over-zealous approach to cross-training can wind up leaving you hurting in other ways and even end up hampering your return back to running. Quite the opposite of what any of us wants to achieve, but combine the Type-A runner personality with the channeled anger of a running injury and falling into this trap is easier than you may think.

There's a move afoot in the Florida Legislature to expand access to the state's virtual schooling options, similar to efforts that were tried and failed in several past years.
The House Education Choice and Innovation Subcommittee is proposing a bill on digital education that would, among other things, require the state to fund the virtual courses taken by any home schooled students who are registered in their districts as home schoolers. It sounds innocuous enough. But the change would open the door to thousands of students who have never enrolled in a public school, something the Legislature has balked against before.
Lawmakers' concerns have not been about expanding virtual schooling. Many of them fervently promote the concept and continue to talk about growing it. The issue, at least in past iterations of the Legislature, has centered on the unknowable amount of money that would be spent on this group of students that previously has not been in the system.
Some past years' estimates put the projected cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, a cost that lawmakers were unwilling to accept — particularly since districts and the state would struggle to accurately predict how and where the money would arrive and where it would go.
The idea comes in a larger bill that also would require online education providers to improve their lines of communication with parents and students, answering to a perpetual complaint, and even bigger, permitting school districts to create "innovation schools" based on a combination of classroom and technology instruction. Those schools would be freed from most of the state's education statutes, similar to charter schools, including that if an innovation school were to earn an F grade from the state two consecutive years, it would be closed.
It's a provocative concept, especially as state leaders continue to question whether schools have adequate technology to meet testing and instructional demands already in place. Department of Education officials said Monday that some districts are getting closer, but that most have hardware and bandwidth needs remaining

"No One Ever Needs to Carry A Gun": Disciples of OprahSunday, July 14, 2013
This is a statement that is often said to me to try and bait me into argument. I hear this from friends and acquaintances. Admittedly, it comes mostly from women (surprise, surprise). At gatherings, women just seem to want to bait me into arguing this topic, even when I haven't even hinted at a discussion of the topic. My perception is that they are jealous of my self-sufficiency and radical independence, in addition to being bugged by the fact that I own guns and advocate for gun ownership and the right of self-defense via my writing. This is in addition to their Oprahized belief of the world that there really isn't a lot of hate or crime, and when there is, odds are that it just won't ever happen to them. That's a nice, fluffy dream, ain't it?
In the end, I walk away from these arguments because (1) we won't change one another's mind (2) we will strain our friendship or acquaintance, and (3) they are far less knowledgeable, learned, and researched on the topic as compared to me. So I turn and walk away from these philistine entrapment scenarios.
Other friends who do not agree with me on this topic just leave it alone – just as it should be. I have no desire to consistently defend my personal beliefs of the rights to self-defense in the company of friends. Luckily, not one person in my family is so stupid to ever utter such a thing to me because we all have the same philosophy about the right to life and freedom from aggression.
This story is a sick case of the loss of a loved human being due to a gang of animals with the two characteristics that make these people so dangerous: (1) they have nothing to lose, and (2) they are bored, and thus have way too much time on their hands to seek and engage conflict.
When he was walking out of the store, witnesses told police four teens jumped on him and began beating and kicking him and within two minutes he was shoved backwards onto the five lane road, pushed to the ground and knocked unconscious.
A passing car hit him.
When one has connections to the local news, as I do, you see the oodles of violent crime within your little suburban enclave that most people never, ever hear about: bank robberies; rapes and armed robberies in parking lots of major retail stores; small store robberies; carjackings; home invasions; and attacks on people walking or driving alone. A recent local crime occurred in a Kohl's parking lot at 2pm, where a woman was raped, and folks just walked by without taking any action whatsoever.
But according to the disciples of Oprah, nothing ever happens to them. So accordingly, nothing will ever happen to you, so … why do you need to carry a gun? As a self-defense instructor put it to me – you carry a gun and know how to use it because you want to make it home tonight.
Joshua didn't make it home. But the dedicated Oprah Philosophers will remind you that it never happens to you. Only those people in the news who are far removed from your reality. Happy dreams, people.

LONDON – The late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile is a suspect in 199 crimes recorded so far, including dozens of cases of rape, British police said Wednesday. They described the level of sexual abuse allegations against Savile as "unprecedented in the U.K."
The accusations against Savile, who died last year at age 84, grew after five women said during a TV program broadcast in October that they had been sexually abused by the presenter. The claims triggered a scandal that rocked the BBC, which has been accused of failing to report allegations against Savile while making shows praising him.
Police said they are putting together a report on Savile's activities based on the alleged victims' evidence, expected to be published early next year. On Wednesday, police published an update on the probe with the following details:
--199 crimes have been recorded in 17 police force jurisdictions in which Savile is a suspect.
--31 rape allegations have been recorded against the disgraced children's television presenter.
--450 people have come forward with information relating to Savile, mainly alleging sexual abuse.
--Some 140 other people also have reported information relating to Savile acting with others, or others acting alone.
Most of those people who came forward were women who alleged sexual abuse when they were young, police said.
A broader police investigation into sex abuse spurred by the claims against Savile has so far detained seven suspects for questioning. They included former pop star Gary Glitter, 68, whose real name is Paul Gadd, and well-known publicist Max Clifford.
No criminal charges have been filed.
The BBC has also announced several investigations into the abuse claims and the network's polices during Savile's career.

Robin Williams was a longtime champion of San Diego's Challenged Athletes Foundation, and Sunday, his children took over for their late father to present grants at the foundation's annual triathlon.
It was the first time Zelda and Zak Williams attended since their father died in August 2014.
"It's so good to see them around each other and hang out and, I think, not feel alone," Zelda Williams said of the racers.
Robin Williams was a dedicated philanthropist and served as an ambassador for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, which supports people with phyiscal challenges, like amputees, lead physically active lives and compete in athletics.
One of the athletes whose lives was impacted by the beloved comedian is grant recipient Patrick Ivison.
"That he took the time out of his insane schedule to come help people like me —there are no words," Ivison told NBC 7 San Diego.
On Sunday, Ivison received his very own rugby wheelchair from the Williams family so he can play professionally. It was one of three grants Williams' kids presented to challenged athletes.
"It was an absolute special moment," Zak Williams said.
Ivison said he couldn't be more grateful to Williams' kids.
"I'm so in love with the fact that they love us so much. Just forever grateful," Ivison said.

Warrenville comedian makes a career in TV commercials
Comedian Jon Huck is cast in a lot of TV commercials, so he didn't think much about being hired to make a "Guitar Baby" ad for the learn-to-play guitar company Rocksmith.
"I just showed up in my own pajamas. They said, 'Don't comb your hair,' and I said, 'Got it. Not a problem,'" said Huck, a Warrenville native who describes his trademark messy mane as "chronic doll hair."
Jon Huck's charactersComedian and actor Jon Huck, of Warrenville, has played a wide variety of roles in commercials. Among them:
• A knight.
• A chainsaw-weilding murderer (twice).
• A janitor.
• "Average guy" or "average dad."
• A carnival employee.
• An island survivor.
• A drunken bum.
• An undercover cop.
But then the ad went viral. "Guitar Baby" got 3 million views during its first week on YouTube. Today, it has more than 4.7 million views.
The commercial looks like a homemade video of an infant playing rock guitar, with his dad (Huck) jamming along. It was made by digitally superimposing a baby head on a little person who plays guitar.
While Huck hasn't read all of the 3,800 comments on the video, the ones he did see cracked him up.
"People were, like, 'Oh my God! You taught a baby to play a guitar!'" Huck said. "And some of the comments were angry. 'This is fake!' Yeah, good for you, buddy. You figured it out."
Huck's look makes him a natural for commercials, but his personality suits his main job as a stand-up comedian and actor.
Huck, 38, tours regularly, performed on a few Comedy Central specials including "Live at Gotham," and recently headlined at the Hollywood Improv.
It led to a few character roles on MTV's hidden camera show "Punk'd" and a co-starring role in the 2013 movie "Garbage" (which also starred actress Daryl Hannah, a former Long Grove resident).
He had a role in the movie "Dumbbells," released in January, and just finished filming a mockumentary in Dallas about an adult hide-and-go-seek competition, "Hidden in the Heart of Texas." He plays the returning champion.
"I do act, and it's become more than just something I do on the side. It's something I'm trying to do more of," he said.
"Then again, the characters are not so far away from who I am. I'm not playing a supermodel, or a deep sea diver, or a Marine."
For fun, since Huck is a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, he and his friend, Texas-born comedian Shawn Halpin, do a sports podcast called "The Full Count." It always involves a discussion of Chicago sports teams, but the show is promoted as "all things related to sports, comedy, life, beer, and whatever else these two idiots can think of."
The Cubs, and comedy, have always been part of Huck's life. His good-humored parents raised him and his brother on Laurel & Hardy movies, Three Stooges episodes, and stand-up comedy by everyone from George Carlin to Bill Cosby.
After graduating from Wheaton Warrenville South High School, Huck earned a degree in English literature from Northland College in Wisconsin.
He moved out to Los Angeles in 1999 because a friend, who had recently moved there, enticed him with the idea that he "could probably find work in TV production."
After six months in L.A., all he had were temp jobs with insurance companies. That's when Huck's mom, Nancy, planted an idea in his head.
"My mom said, 'You should go onstage and tell jokes. You'd be funny. It might be something you could excel at.'
"And I said, 'You just don't go onstage and tell jokes. That's ridiculous!'" he recalled.
Soon after that phone call, though, Huck found an open mic night at the Ha Ha Cafe in North Hollywood and took the bus there to perform.
"For four minutes onstage ... I talked about going to the bathroom at work and read the bus schedule, because I didn't know what else to do. And I got laughs. So I thought, OK, maybe I'm good at this," he said.
The open mic nights led to a regular stand-up gig. Things were going well until he was curiously added to the lineup for a Latino comedy all-stars show and epically bombed.
"It was horrible. I was up there ... and it was just silent. Someone in the audience yelled, 'You're white!' And I said, 'Mom?'" he said.
"Afterward, my friend said, 'Well, think of it this way. You'll never bomb that bad again.'"
That turned out to be true. Huck's comedy career quickly rebounded and he started getting commercial work from big companies like Capital One, Boost Mobile, Armor All, Milwaukee's Best Light, AT&T, Burger King, Starbucks, ESPN and others.
"They'd be looking for a lazy dad, or someone who's homeless but not superhomeless, or overweight but not obese, or disheveled but not superdestroyed," he said.
"Commercials aren't about skill. They're about a look. My look is a number of things."
As he continues to pursue acting, Huck also is working on a follow-up to his 2010 comedy album, "Fantasticular Hilaritation."
"The long term plan is to keep doing what I'm doing and hope it entertains people. I love stand-up, and I can't imagine not doing it," he said.

The Obama administration was on the defensive about the U.S. relationship with Rwanda and its U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice at the Dec. 11, 2012, U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Two days after the hearing, Rice withdrew her name from consideration to become secretary of state. In President Obama's statement on Susan Rice, issued the same day, he praised her work but did not mention Rwanda, Uganda or Congo.

Whenever I read an article about how to eat organically on a budget, there is always a mention of buying from the bulk bins. The bulk bins have organic whole grains, dried fruits, candies, nuts, and other items that can be scooped in bulk.
While they usually are a good value, they can be intimidating. Rows of organic oats: steel cut, slow cooking, quick cooking. If you grew up ripping open a packet of maple and brown sugar oatmeal like I did, those oats in the bulk bin can cause confusion. And the rice - brown, white, basmati, jasmine, long grain, short grain... AHHHHH! Where's the Minute Rice?
Don't go running to the packaged food isle. It's time to tackle the whole grains in the bulk bins, one bin at a time.
You know you're supposed to be eating more whole grains. Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel which includes the bran, the germ and the endosperm. They are high in fiber. They are good for you. Very good for you.
About a year ago, I decided to tackle the bulk bins myself. I started by scooping out a cup of whatever caught my eye, then coming home and finding a way to use it.
If you want to start tackling the bulk bins, I suggest you start with basmati brown rice. Brown basmati is very high in fiber and has a strong flavor. It's very easy to cook, but it takes about 50 minutes so you need to give yourself enough time. This isn't Uncle Ben's.
Here is the basic method for cooking one cup of organic brown basmati rice (it will yield about 3 cups of cooked rice)
- Put two cups of water or organic broth (chicken or vegetable works well) in pot that has a tight fitting lid. Add rice.
- Bring to a boil. Stir and place on tight lid (I prefer to use a glass lid so I can see the rice's progress).
- Reduce to a light simmer and cook with lid on until all liquid has been absorbed - start checking at 40 minutes. It should take about 50 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve.
If cooked with broth, the rice will have plenty of flavor. I cook it with organic chicken broth and serve it as is. My husband and I like to add a little salt. My six year old son loves it plain. He'll eat the leftovers for breakfast.
Start with one item at a time if the bulk bins intimidate you. Try one a week or one every other week.

Covert Will Stay Open
COVERT, Mich. – Covert Public Schools will stay open for the 2013-14 school year, despite fears that misdirected tax revenue and the district's financial missteps would lead to its closure, according to MLive.
MLive reports that the district had budgeted receiving $3.8 million from a single business property, far above what was owed. The district will stay open, according to MLive, with help from the taxpayer and from redirected tax revenues from nearby local governments.
According to MLive, the district is also planning to reduce staff and close unused facilities to improve its financial footing.

ACLU Sues AAPS Over Class Fees
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The American Civil Liberties Union is suing Ann Arbor Public Schools over the district's decision to charge fees for seventh hour classes, Michigan Radio reports.
According to Michigan Radio, the ACLU says that AAPS is the first Michigan district to implement a "tuition-based" program, and that it is unconstitutional. AAPS officials added the fees, according to Michigan Radio, to balance the district's budget.
Seventh hour classes are primarily used at AAPS, according to Michigan Radio, by students who need the flexibility to take extracurricular classes, such as music.

DPS Undertakes School Marketing Campaign to Boost Enrollment
DETROIT – Detroit Public Schools is undertaking a marketing campaign that advertises specific schools to parents instead of marketing the district as a whole, according to The Detroit News. District officials hope to attract 5,000 new students, The News reports.
DPS spokesperson Steve Wasko told The News that specific program additions, such as preschool, classes in arts and music and improved customer service, will help attract families.
"With all the competition, just being a 'good' school isn't enough for some people," Principal Linda Whitaker told The News.

One Out of Eight Student Loan Borrowers in Default
LANSING, Mich. – More than 6 million federal student loan borrowers — or about one in eight — are in default, according to MLive. Their outstanding debt totals approximately $89 billion, MLive reports.
Student loans typically cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, according to MLive. About half of the outstanding loans were made under the government's Direct Loans Program, and borrowers in default under that program have an average outstanding debt of $14,500.

I wish I had this book.
I actually kinda know about Cicero Pig because I had a giant coloring and activity book starring Porky and Petunia. Unfortunately I of course used it exactly like a little kid is suppose to-tearing out pages,coloring it in. I loved that thing.
Anyhow-this is great.I actually had record books as a child.(A child of the 90's mind you) Unfortunately I never had any Looney Tunes ones. This is fantastic and enjoyable.

Mother Nature was kinder to soft red winter wheat growers last fall. USDA says improved planting conditions allowed producers of soft red winter wheat, the type grown in the Southeastern states, to increase their plantings by 19 percent.
Acres of hard red winter and white winter wheat, the types grown in the Northern Plains, declined by about 1 percent, on the other hand. On balance, total U.S. winter wheat seeding is expected to have increased by 2 percent.
"Except for the weather-related rebound in soft red winter wheat, wheat area continues the long-term stagnant-to-declining trend," says Ed Allen, international grains analyst with USDA's Economic Research Service. Allen gave the Grains and Oilseed Outlook at USDA's annual Agricultural Outlook Forum in Arlington, Va.
Allen told participants in the Grains and Oilseed session at the Forum that while total wheat area is expected to rise 2 percent to 58 million acres, wheat harvested acreage could decline by 1.4 million in 2006.
"This reflects a return to normal abandonment rates for most states and additional modest downward adjustment for Texas and Oklahoma to account for ongoing drought," he said. "At 48.7 million acres, U.S. wheat harvested area would be the lowest since 2002, when drought devastated the Southern Plains."
Allen said poor crop conditions continue to plague farmers in Texas and Oklahoma where the lack of moisture threatens to reduce yield prospects for spring-planted crops as well.
"The Texas crop conditions were lower than reported at any time since the current system was instituted in 1986," he said. "Without timely rains, these states will have significantly higher-than-average abandonment and below-trend yields."
USDA is forecasting total wheat production in 2006 to be down slightly from the previous year, but still around 2.1 billion bushels. A modest decline in harvested area is expected to be partly offset by a small increase in yield, returning to trend levels for all states but Texas and Oklahoma.
"Although current crop conditions are exceptionally poor in Texas and Oklahoma, there is only a weak correlation between early crop conditions and yields, as rains in late winter and spring are crucial," says Allen. "The national average wheat yield in 2005 was slightly below-trend, so a return to trend for most states increases the national average."
Beginning stocks of wheat for the 2006-07 marketing year are nearly unchanged from 2005-06, the USDA analyst said. But imports are expected to increase with no anti-dumping duties on spring wheat from Canada. Increased imports are expected to partly offset reduced production, leaving U.S. supplies down less than 1 percent in 2006-07.
Domestic wheat use is expected to increase slowly to 1.19 billion bushels in 2006-07. Flour production and use are forecast to increase slightly, but at a growth rate less than the population, so per capita flour use could decline, according to the analyst. Feed and residual use is also expected to remain unchanged, leaving total domestic use up slightly.
Grain companies are expected to ship less U.S. wheat as exports decline 2.5 percent to 975 million bushels in the face of intense competition.
"Improved quality in Canada is expected after two years of large, but poor-quality crops," said Allen. "U.S. good-quality hard wheats are expected to face much stiffer competition in 2006-07. Increased competition from Australia is expected, especially in Iraq."
He said soft wheats will continue to face tough selling by the European Union and Australia, but wheat area in Russia and the Ukraine is reportedly down, so soft red winter wheat may move into export channels with a smaller discount in 2006-07.
Developing countries are also expected to provide a growing demand base for world wheat trade.
The USDA analyst said the U.S. wheat industry is expected to end the 2006-07 marketing year (July-June) with stocks basically unchanged from 2005-06's 543 million bushels. The projected stocks-to-use ratio of 25 percent is similar to the 24.8 percent forecast for 2005-06.
"With the relatively stable stocks-to-use ratio, the season average farm price is projected unchanged at $3.40 per bushel for 2006-07," says Allen.

On The Richter Scale
Some games are best played with a jug of moonshine. Not because they're bad, but because if they don't live up to their potential, you need to deaden yourself to the disappointment. Quake Wars – made in the style of Battlefield 2142 and based upon the generally inexplicable Quake setting – is one such game. Many of its grand ideas strain to burst from the fallaciously shiny plating bolted over the game, but in the end, it's heavy and unwieldy. Just like me, after half a bottle of Johnny Walker.
[image1]Quake Wars is mostly an excuse for online team-based gameplay. A lot of background elements – the modeling of the environments and the characters, and the "story" hinted in the opening cutscene – were spot-welded in without much effort. Levels are large and pretty but mostly empty and unoriginal, while ugly soldiers bump around shooting their guns at one another. Envision a pack of homely teenagers running around playing laser tag in Yosemite valley – and they all have either acne and poor fashion sense (the red team), or square jaws, grim mouths, and unibrows (the blue team). That's what Quake Wars looks like, though the draw distances are impressive and the Strogg are a bit prettier than those teenagers.
The sound, however, is truly a thing of wonder. The bad kind. The Strogg sound predictably lame and ultra-aggressive, but the real stumbling block is the humans. Their default voice is just awful, and there's no alternate option, Clearly, in the dystopian future of Quake Wars, every human soldier has a chip implanted in their brain that makes proper etiquette trigger an enthusiastic orgasm: "I'm a medic!", "HEEEEEEELP!", "THAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU!" "Oh, YOU'RE WELCOME!" Insert some squishing noises, and a YouTube parody video is born. Please, YouTubers, don't take that as a dare.
Fortunately, playing the game turns things from being laughably bad to curiously decent. If you've played Battlefield 2, or Battlefield 2141, or Star Wars: Battlefront, or… you can fill in the blank, it's basically that, except with Quake plastered over it. The one difference is that Quake Wars includes a neat new option: campaign mode. Here, you select a side of the war and run through three missions. This might sound boring, but each mission has a set of objectives for each side that isn't just "steal his flag or territory, and protect yours". You'll destroy barricades and key enemy equipment, build bridges and guard towers, hack devices, and gather intelligence to a capture point. Though this might all feel familiar, each set of missions brings different objectives together in a fresh, connected metaphor of play that isn't seen often in this fairly stagnant genre.
On the issue of balance, the Strogg and the GDF (Global Defense Force – another stereotypical three letter acronym, I know) accomplish very similar things but in different ways. Many GDF weapons use clips – fire the gun so many times and you have to spend three seconds reloading. Of course, you could take a momentary lull in combat to reload, like any other shooter. The Strogg, on the other hand, use guns that don't have clips but can overheat instead, which forces you to wait for about three seconds for the gun to cool down. But if you slow down and pace your firing, you can make these guns last long. Beyond this is a rather simple distinction, it's the little flairs that distinguish both sides in a more tangible way than most team-based online games manage. With interesting variations in vehicles, turrets, and weapon options for classes, each side is ultimately equal, but still have their strengths and weaknesses. I leaned towards the Strogg for playing assault or vehicle-oriented segments, while the trusty GDF shotgun became my favorite in close-quarters combat and sneakier work. I am, by the way, the Shotgun Ninja – stealthiest buckshot this side of Kentucky.
[image2]Being the Shotgun Ninja, by the way, is a total blast. Quake Wars handles extremely well, with solid moment to moment gameplay. Controls are tight and responsive even on less auspicious servers. Weapons all have a secure feel to them and none of them are crap, and gameplay is too fast-paced to worry about much more than getting to the objective and scoring. Who cares about the smacktards of the inertubes? You have bombs to plant and tanks to drive and people to shoot!
Like many in online battlefield titles, teams are split into different classes. Quake Wars offers five major classes: assault, support, engineer, medic, and special ops. Given the variety of weapon choices, each major class can actually fill several different roles, though each class has a primary function they perform regardless, and just about every mission will require a balanced team. Following in the footsteps of the Battlefield series, characters gain experience as the battle wears on and kick more and more ass with promotions and rewards. Rewards run the gamut of extra health, faster sprinting speeds, better handling with vehicles, and extra weapon choices. For the most part, these benefits don't disrupt the balance of the game, and since they don't persist between battles, you'll rarely see anyone graduate up to the 'Bruce Lee With Guns' level.
While the level design of Quake Wars offers a great deal of variety, minor issues on certain missions prevent the game from feeling entirely fair. For example, in one mission within the European theatre of war, the GDF attempt to defend a downed Strogg ship from a Strogg recovery force and must fall back to a base surrounded by cliffs right. Unfortunately, the Strogg have access to vehicles that can get units on top those cliffs with relative ease, so an enemy Stroog team just has to line up on the cliffs and snipe GDF players as they spawn. There's nothing like being a sitting duck that will shred your resolve to keep playing.
[image3]In other areas, the level design suffers from being too balanced. While there's always a defender on every map – and therefore a default winner if time runs down – there are several maps that degenerate into a stalemate. Just like making love for the thousandth time with the same person in the same way, running face first into the same impossible firefight for the umpteenth time gets stale. Unlike Team Fortress 2, Quake Wars doesn't have the moment-to-moment polish and variety to make a stalemate interesting. But hey, perhaps the defenders aren't too disappointed with the assaulters' lack of stamina.
All said, though, the variety of objectives, combined with classic solid Quake action makes for fine gameplay. You feel like you're a part of a battlefield, and you won't have any time for navel-grazing, dwelling on how fun it all is, until it's all over. As such, most of the game's weakest aspects fade into the background of frantic firefights and heavy artillery. Quake Wars is that odd girl you find at the bar at eleven o'clock on a Saturday night. She may look like a repressed librarian, but when you've drunk enough to stop caring about how she looks, she'll take you along for the ride of your life.

Skip to comments.Mel tongue-ties studios;'Apocalypto' to be filmed in obscure Mayan dialect (MEL GIBSON ALERT)
Posted on 07/25/2005 5:20:32 PM PDT by Liz
When production chiefs from selected studios trooped to Icon Prods. headquarters after an invite to read the film Mel Gibson planned for summer 2006, they were surprised at the very first page of the script. "The dialogue you are about to read will not be spoken in English."
Gibson, who last made the most successful Aramaic-language film ever, is at it again.
"Apocalypto" hardly fits the traditional definition of a summer film. Set 500 years ago, pic will be filmed in an obscure Mayan dialect, presumably with the same kind of subtitles Gibson reluctantly added to "The Passion of the Christ." It will star a neophyte cast indigenous to the region of Mexico where Gibson will shoot in October. And it likely will carry an R rating, unless Gibson tempers the onscreen depiction of violent scenes he wrote in his script.
Since Gibson's bankrolling his pic and will sell foreign himself, studios were offered only a rent-a-system deal, such as George Lucas had with 20th Century Fox for his last three "Star Wars" films. And because "Apocalypto" is not a religious pic, there's no guarantee of an encore turnout of the church groups and hardcore Catholics who made "The Passion of the Christ" a nearly $1 billion box office/DVD bonanza.
'Passion' prediction
At least three studios passed on the project before Disney bought it. Nevertheless, the fact that more than one studio bid for the project shows Gibson's viability and makes laughable last year's prediction by the New York Times that Gibson would be blackballed by Jewish executives after the "Passion" controversy.
That charge never really had much traction, said sources within Gibson's agency, ICM. There was a post-"Passion" pile of scripts with $20 million-plus offers for Gibson's acting services. While that paper piled up on ICM co-prexy Ed Limato's desk, Gibson was accumulating pages of his own, scribbling "Apocalypto" in his office and becoming so passionate about it that he changed his plans to star in the Icon-produced drama "Under and Alone" for Warner Bros.
Even though studios including Paramount and Universal walked away from "Apocalypto" either for creative reasons or because Gibson's asking price of a high P&A commitment was too high, Disney's agreement to step up shows how much things have changed for Gibson since he struggled to get backing for "Braveheart." Gibson felt he was too old to play William Wallace, preferring to cast Jason Patric, but he was hard-pressed to raise coin even when he agreed to star.
Paramount wouldn't make "Braveheart" without a partner, and before Fox (which passed on "Passion") stepped up, Gibson had a demoralizing meeting with his longtime haunt Warner Bros., which wanted another "Lethal Weapon" as a condition of the deal. Gibson made "Braveheart" on a shoestring, won picture and director Oscars and made money for both Paramount and Fox.
Happy with Disney
Now content to bankroll his vision and armed with his own overseas distribution and sales company, Gibson no longer goes hat in hand. Sources said at least two studios wanted the pic, but Gibson liked Disney, where he has a good relationship with Dick Cook, chairman of the Walt Disney Studios. For its part, Disney agreed to Gibson's tough deal terms.
Already, there is talk that Disney will program "Apocalypto" against the Warner Bros. film "Lady in the Water," which just happens to be the first M. Night Shyamalan-directed film Disney hasn't financed since the filmmaker's breakthrough, "The Sixth Sense."
For his part, Cook said he was confident "Apocalypto" fits the summer bill.
"We couldn't be more excited about working again with Mel and his team," said Cook. "This is one of the most original and unique scripts we've had the opportunity to read recently, and we plan for this to be an anchor of our summer schedule."
2012 baby
Filming in dead languages worked for "The Passion" because there was a built-in audience already interested in the subject, and willing to tolerate anything that would give the presentation of Jesus more authenticity.
That special kind of audience won't be there for this film. If actually made in Mayan I suspect this film will turn out to be a major bomb.
Already been done. Here at FR its known as the Clinton Administration
Oh! Oh! Heathcliffe! :o)
good one!
"2012 baby"
Oh, Brother. When did my husband start posting here? LOL! He gives me constant updates on his "End of the World" scenario, based on the Mayan Calendar...and he's a Swede!
I sure hope he's wrong; if not, I've made my peace. ;)
Yeah, just like that "Dances with Wolves" movie, where they spoke Lakota.
What is rent-a-system and P&A? Does anyone know?
This could be very interesting.
A cast "native to the region" in a "Mayan dialect" with "onscreen depiction of violent scenes." Could this be the answer both to the critics of the violence in Passion of the Christ and to the Azatlan fanatics pushing bizarre fantasies about who "owns" the northern parts of Mexico and the western parts of the United States? (FYI, Aztec and Mayan cultures never spread farther north than about 50 miles north of what is now Mexico City and did not spread coast to coast in Mexico, therefore the fantasy of Azatlan being some sort of Mexican "homeland" is offensive, particularly to nations that do have a heritage based claim to those lands, like the Hopi, Navajo, Pueblo,Western Apache,and Zuni - they killed Mayans and Aztecs for fun...)
Show the "peace loving nature loving native culture" of the Mayans and Aztecs for the bloodthirsty, brutal and grotesque thugs that they were, particularly if you can convey just how tiny their actual holdings were, and you might just reshape the landscape of multiculturism in the southwestern US.
Add to that the knee jerk reaction of most PC critics to defend or even celebrate violence committed by "indegenous peoples" as culturally protected, imune from moral judgement, and Gibson may just put his critics into an unbearable position.
And "Apocalypto" is a Greek term meaning "an unveiling" or "new beginning."
I think Mel may have been misunderestimated.
Is Mel still thinking about making a film about the Maccabean revolt? Why can't he do that instead of this obscure-sounding subject?
Nope, that was JIVE. Completely different.
Attendant: Can I get you something?
Jiveman #2: S'mo fo butter layin' to the bone. Jackin' me up. Tightly.
Attendant: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Jiveman #1: Cutty say he can't hang.
Barbara Billingsley: Oh, stewardess, I speak jive.
Attendant: Ohhhh, good.
Barbara Billingsley: He said that he's in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him.
Attendant: Would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine.
Barbara Billingsley: Jus' hang loose blooood. She goonna catch up on the`rebound a de medcide.
Jiveman #2: What it is big mamma, my mamma didn't raise no dummy, I dug her rap.
Barbara Billingsley: Cut me some slack, jack! Chump don wan no help, chump don git no help. Jive ass dude don't got no brains anyhow.
Smart move , Disney.
IMHO the only M. Night film even close to being watchable was Signs. And that one was so-so.
The rest...yawn.
Why doesn't Gibson do a 9/11 movie, for God's sake?
What a rip.
You might think that those who fell for it the last time... nahhh.
funny.. heh!
Those who love him simply call him ~eccentric~
I have to respond: "Why not?"
I think it reaches a point where the artist is not considering his audience.

I taste Malbec every week. EVERY WEEK. While some people may view this to be cool or fun, are maybe even a bit envious, let me assure you that this is not my idea of a good time. It is not one of my favorite responsibilities of the J-O.
Argentina boasts abundant sunshine and cheap land - even planted acreage is comparably cheap. As a result, foreigners spend lots of time here. They may hail from Napa, Bordeaux, Tuscany or elsewhere, but ultimately what these wine industry and entrepreneurial types are invariably looking for is a piece of the growing Argentine wine export market. To do this, they all suggest similar means to reach the same result: overly fruity, extracted wine that tastes more like a room of new French barriques. While one may argue that these types of wines have infiltrated all over, from their epicenter in Napa and Bordeaux, to Tuscany, Piedmont, Rioja, even Greece, Argentina remains so disappointingly steadfast in its dependence on a single varietal, cultivated, harvested and vinified in similar ways. Please feel free to correct me if you believe I'm wrong here. However, tasting Argentine wine every week, this is my opinion. To prove me wrong, you will need to point me towards individual wines that are more than merely well made, fruit forward, intensely flavored wine from old vine fruit aged in Allier barrels.
One notable exception to my difficulty with Argentine wine would be Bodegas Weinert. These are unique wines. They are not aged in new barrique. Their wood foudres range in size from 600 to 2500 liters. Not a single new barrel is used; in fact, barrels are conditioned for 4 years with tannat prior to being used for their wines. Prior to their elevage in wood, these wines are fermented in concrete. There is acidity in these wines. Sometimes, a tiny portion of this acidity is volatile. Some brettanomyces makes the occasional appearance. All of this is fine by me, as these characteristics make Weinert wines some of the most unique and characterful in Argentina. You might call Weinert the Lopez de Heredia of Mendoza.
The same week which I tasted the Luigi Bosca wines (see my earlier pt. 1 post) I had the opportunity to taste through some Weinert wines.
2008 Bodega Weinert Carrascal Blanco
Composed of 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% chenin blanc. Sweet citrus and starfruit aromas lead to a fresh, zippy palate, with good texture as well. An original wine.
2005 Bodega Weinert Carrascal Red
A blend of malbec, merlot and cabernet sauvignon, aged two years in cask and another year in bottle. Savory dark cherry fruit shows a sunny, warmer climate generosity and richness, but does not veer towards sweetness or oaky wine flavored beverage status.
2004 Bodega Weinert Malbec
This is like a more intensely flavored, richer version of the wine above. A darker fruit profile and a shade oakier, but still nothing approaching Bordelaise consultant levels of oak here. Enjoyable enough, but as often is my experience with a producer's range of reds, I enjoy the cheaper one.

NC vet awarded medal 45 years after injury
NC vet awarded medal 45 years after injury
A North Carolina veteran has been awarded a Purple Heart 45 years after he was wounded in Vietnam.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-North Carolina, presented Dockie Brendle his third Purple Heart during a special afternoon ceremony at the Charles George VA Medical Center.
As a U.S. Army Specialist Fourth Class fighting in Vietnam on June 5, 1968, Brendle had been making his way to a .50-caliber machine gun he was hit by the blast from a rocket-propelled grenade. He returned home fully disabled from wounds to his head and chest, as well as two previous injuries.
The now 68-year-old Bryson City resident was supposed to have received his third Purple Heart award shortly thereafter, but the Army misplaced his paperwork.

Insomnia is a common sleep problem for adults. The National Institutes of Health estimates that roughly 30 percent of the general population complains of sleep disruption, and approximately 10 percent have associated symptoms of daytime functional impairment consistent with the diagnosis of insomnia.
What causes RLS? In July of 2007, researchers discovered a gene variant for RLS, which helps explain why it may be traced through generations in families. Researchers believe this gene increases one's risk for a type of hereditary RLS, known as primary or familial RLS. Is there a cure for RLS? There is currently no cure for RLS. However, in most cases RLS symptoms can be controlled through lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, and medical treatments as appropriate.
RLS is a serious condition that has affected people for many years, but it has not always been taken seriously, and is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Approximately 10 percent of American adults1 suffer from this neurological sensorimotor disorder, which causes uncomfortable and sometimes painful tingling, and tugging sensations in the legs. People with RLS often feel as though they have to move their legs, by walking or stretching, in order to make the uncomfortable feelings go away.
Tooth grinding at night is occasionally linked with daytime stress. To ease symptoms, try to relax in the hours before bedtime to reduce stress levels and to maintain a regular soothing bedtime routine. It is also important to create a sleep environment that is cool comfortable, dark, and quiet and to keep work-related items such as computers out of the bedroom. Tooth grinding during sleep may also be linked with back sleeping. Try side or stomach sleeping to ease symptoms.
Often, minimizing stress can alleviate symptoms of sleep bruxism among adults and symptoms often disappear on their own in children. For severe and persistent bruxism, a dentist may prescribe an oral appliance made of soft plastic to protect the teeth. Self-directed therapies, such as jaw-aligning exercises, may also help.
Reviewed by David G. Davila, MD (December 2009).
Symptoms of sleep bruxism include:
The severity of these symptoms can vary. Some may experience interrupted sleep during the night. High stress levels and anxiety are linked to bruxism.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A judge is allowing former Penn State President Graham Spanier (SPAN'-yur) to travel outside state lines but won't permit any foreign trips.
Spanier lawyer Ed Spreha says he was notified of the order Monday. It requires Spanier to provide five days' notice of any travel outside Pennsylvania.
Spanier is facing charges that include obstruction and perjury for allegedly covering up complaints in the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Spanier was also ordered not to have any contact with current or past members of the Penn State Board of Trustees, or with any witnesses in the case against him.
Spanier wanted permission to travel to Europe for work and family matters.

GREENVILLE, Ill. – 2010 proved to be a solid year for the Panthers, headlined by the 2010 SLIAC Championship. However GC will look to run past a number of obstacles in 2011 in their attempt at a repeat, including with a highly competitive conference and holes in the depth chart.
Aside from the 2010 conference crown, Greenville also notched five individual All SLIAC performers, the overall SLIAC champion, the SLIAC sportsmanship award, and coach of the year honors.
The GC men return the bulk of the runners that combined for much of their success in 2010. Even though the Panthers lose the leadership and experience of a number of seniors and SLIAC champion Alan Hollingsworth, several men are fit to fill the spots at the front of the pack.
Greenville will once again be led by senior Coree Woltering, who has been at or near the top of the performing list for the last three seasons. Joining Woltering near the front will be juniors Ross Baker and Josh Dees. Sophomore Bryant Simpson will also look to compete for a top spot on the squad in 2011.
Adding depth to the Panthers will be a number of capable seniors. Xavier Ortiz, Leo Pathy, Trevor Thompson, Alex Wolfe, and Nathan Young will all battle for spots and push the team throughout the season.
At the helm will be 18th year head coach and 22 time recipient of the coach of the year award Brian Patton.
"We have some great runners and depth this year," said Patton. "If we can stay injury free and take care of business we should have an exciting year."
The Panther squad will look to hit the ground running at the Washington University St. Louis Early Bird on Saturday, September 3 at 8:00 am.

VIDEO: Ben Askren 'Inside MMA' Interview Ends Abruptly After UFC Criticism Upsets Kenny Rice
(Looks like Kenny has the 2014 "Shill of the Year" award locked up. / Video via AXS TV Fights)
Friday's edition of Inside MMA on AXS TV featured a tense interview segment with ONE FC welterweight champion Ben Askren, and has generated controversy not because of Askren's words, but for host Kenny Rice's reaction to them.
The clip above begins with co-host Bas Rutten asking Askren about Dana White's recent statement that the UFC might consider signing Askren if he keeps winning. Unsurprisingly, Askren wasn't there to show gratitude to the Baldfather:
"Dana, he's a chameleon. He changes his tune depending on whatever fits the situation. I am definitely not fond of this guy at all. I want the chance to prove I'm the best welterweight in the world, but I don't know if I'm willing to stoop to his level."
You'd think that Askren's unvarnished honesty would please the Inside MMA hosts; after all, this is exactly the kind of thing that would generate publicity for their show. Instead, Kenny Rice begins to chastise Askren for his comments:
"Well you're saying a lot about a $500 million operation, there, Ben. I mean, I gotta be honest, you know it's always nice to fight windmills sometimes, but to take on verbally with the UFC, this is a battle you can't win."
Askren explains that if he plays out the rest of his career in ONE FC and retires happy, he would consider that a win. He then continues attacking the "iffy decisions" recently made by Dana White, which have led to a backlash by the fans. But before he can really get cookin', Rice interrupts him:Read More DIGG THIS

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressmen Barney Frank, James McGovern and William Delahunt, and Senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry announced today that the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth National Textile Center (NTC) program will receive a funding increase of over $300,000 in 2006 as part of the annual appropriations bill for the Department of Commerce.
The legislation, which was approved in the House yesterday and is expected to pass the Senate today, includes, at the request of the 5 Members of Congress, a sum of $13 million for the NTC. Under a formula that governs how the monies are distributed to the 8 NTC member institutions, UMass Dartmouth will receive approximately $1.2 million of that total, up from $858,000 in 2005. In the previous two years, the overall NTC budget was $10 million, and the 2006 funding levels are the highest ever, both for the overall program, and for the UMass Dartmouth center.
"I am pleased that my colleagues and I were able to work together to help secure this increase in funding," Congressman Frank said. "While the local textile industry continues to face serious challenges because of unfair foreign competition, promoting the development of cutting edge textile and apparel technologies is a key strategy for meeting those challenges. The NTC program at UMass does a great job of bringing together talented researchers and area companies to further that goal. Because federal trade policies have a pronounced effect on the region's textile industry, I think it is entirely appropriate to continue pushing for the kind of federal financial support provided through the NTC, in particular given UMass Dartmouth's fine stewardship of the program."
"In a very difficult budget year, it's all the more gratifying that our colleagues have recognized the importance of the work being done at UMass Dartmouth and the other National Textile Center partners, and approved our request for record funding," Senator Kennedy said. "We're proud of the innovative approaches UMass Dartmouth and its industry partners have pursued locally, and we're committed to supporting their efforts for years to come."
"Textiles are part of our history, our economy and our future," Senator Kerry said. "The creation of jobs and new textile business opportunities depends upon access to cutting edge technology. Providing this funding for UMass Dartmouth will help Massachusetts textile firms to compete in the world marketplace."
"The textile industry is not only a part of Southeastern Massachusetts' past - it can and should be a part of our future," Rep. McGovern said. "I'm very pleased that by working together we were able to increase funding for the National Textile Center. UMass Dartmouth does a tremendous job with this program."
"This investment will yield significant educational and economic development dividends for the community," Congressman Delahunt said.
UMass Dartmouth Chancellor Jean F. MacCormack expressed her appreciation for the funds, noting "this investment in the National Textile Center is an investment in the economy of Southeastern Massachusetts. By supporting the cutting-edge research of our faculty, the center accelerates the development of new ideas leading to new industries and creating real jobs. UMass Dartmouth, the region and the Commonwealth are fortunate to have a Congressional delegation that is willing to fight for investment in this kind of innovation.''
The National Textile Center program has been responsible for over $300 million in economic development since its establishment 13 years ago, with over 150 projects completed, and more than 1,500 students having participated in its programs. In addition to assisting U.S. companies in work involving niche textile products and markets, and helping to promote new inventory approaches and innovative business models, the NTC member schools are also working on developing expertise in homeland security areas such as clothing offering protection against chemical and biological hazards. At UMass Dartmouth, examples of NTC sponsored initiatives include research on nanoparticles to be used as less toxic fire retardants; bio-active bandages that maintain sterility; and knitted stents for repair of damaged arteries.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Casino mogul and GOP super-donor Sheldon Adelson spent a rare afternoon in the public eye Thursday defending his decision to turn his back on a Hong Kong businessman who says he is owed $328 million.
The 79 year-old multibillionaire testified as the lead witness in a breach of contract case playing out for the second time in a Las Vegas court.
Adelson blazed a trail of casino riches in Asia after doing the same thing in Sin City as CEO of Las Vegas Sands.
In recent years, a series of former business associates have sued Sands for a portion of the geyser of profits from the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau.
One such businessman, Richard Suen, claims he made it possible for the casino company to win a license in Macau by arranging meetings between executives and Beijing officials in 2001.
On Thursday, Adelson said those meetings didn't help the company and noted that licenses are distributed by officials in Macau, not on the mainland.
Less than an hour after he took the stand, Adelson pulled out a handful of pamphlets put together by his convention business in the 1980s to illustrate his qualifications to enter the gambling enclave.
That prompted a call from Suen's attorneys for a mistrial.
"We have a witness who is attempting to take over this courtroom," Suen attorney James Pisanelli said.
He said Adelson had stacked the multicolored brochures in a "dramatic fashion" that made an unforgettable impression on the jury.
Judge Rob Bare said the while the evidence was improperly introduced, none of the lawyers appeared to be at fault, and he would not declare a mistrial.
Adelson arrived at the Las Vegas courthouse wearing a suit and white shirt with his initials SGA embroidered on the cuff. The longtime supporter of Israel and the Republican Party made headlines last year when he became made the biggest political donation ever — nearly $100 million with his wife to help GOP candidates.
His wife, Miriam, led him into the courtroom but he approached the witness stand using a marble-handled cane. Suen's legal team had argued allowing a family member to take him to the stand would sow undue sympathy among the jury.
Sands' lawyers sought to limit media access to the mogul's testimony. They argued unsuccessfully to bar video and still photography from the proceedings, and later complained about the clicking noise made by a camera shutter.
Adelson's testimony was expected to last at least two days.
It's the second time Suen and Sands have faced off in court over the contract issue. In 2008, a jury awarded $58.6 million to Suen, but the Nevada Supreme Court overturned the verdict in 2010.
That court said the district judge shouldn't have allowed hearsay statements during the trial, and should have told the jury to assume Chinese officials were following local laws.
Buoyed in large part by his successes in Macau, Adelson has become the ninth-richest person in America, worth an estimated $26.5 billion, according to Forbes.
Asked on Thursday how many casinos he owns, Adelson paused and counted eight on his fingers. He later amended that to nine. When he met Suen, he owned just one casino — The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip.
Suen, a former business partner of Adelson's brother, now seeks more than three times the amount he demanded in 2008.
He said he and his company were promised a $5 million success fee and 2 percent of net casino profits in exchange for helping Sands open its first casino in Macau, now the world's biggest gambling market.
On Thursday, Adelson agreed that those were the terms but said Suen never fulfilled his part of the deal: to deliver a gambling license.
The case hinges on the role that personal relationships, or "guanxi," play in Chinese culture.
Suen's team argues that Sands needed to cultivate influence. But the casino countered that Suen is demanding a success fee for setting up a single 40-minute meeting with the mayor of Beijing.
On the stand, Adelson frequently pleaded memory loss when asked about executive decisions, business strategy and meetings.
"I'm not very good at Chinese names. I'm not always so good at English names," he said.
He also offered that he plans to come back in his next life as a Chinese person because "the Chinese always look 20 years younger than they are."
The trial judge twice asked Adelson to focus his answers.
Among other things, Suen claims that Adelson used his influence over Republican members of Congress to reassure Beijing's mayor that a nonbinding resolution denouncing Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympics would be killed. Suen says he set up that meeting.
Adelson — who joked about his short stature, confessed to being a "hotdog fiend" and described himself as a "kid from the slums" — said he was too humble of a man to have pulled off such a stunt.
"How does one little guy from a poor family in Boston have some influence to affect the Chinese government's lobbying with other governments for the International Olympic committee?" he said.

NM: Mescalero water rights bill introduced
U.S. Representative Steve Pearce again introduced a bill to allow the Mescalero Tribe of southern New Mexico to lease unused, excess water. The new bill H.R. 1377.
"I reintroduced this legislation that passed the House last Congress," said Pearce. "This bill gives the Mescalero Apache Tribe an opportunity for economic growth, and regional communities will be able to access desperately needed water."
Mescalero Apache President Frederick Chino Sr. thanked Pearce for his work. "We thank Rep. Pearce for his leadership in reintroducing this bill and for his friendship and commitment to the Mescalero people," said Chino. "The Mescalero Apache Tribe is working hard to ensure that the needs of the Mescalero people and surrounding communities are met, and that the region continues to grow and prosper. Water is one of our most important resources, and the Mescalero Apache Tribe Leasing Authorization Act will allow our Tribe to better manage our water, and allow us to work with our neighboring communities on water usage…The Mescalero Tribe also appreciates and acknowledges the City of Ruidoso, our neighbor and partner on this legislation."
Ruidoso Mayor Ray Alborn emphasized the importance of the bill for the local community. "I appreciate the persistence of Congressman Pearce and the cooperation of the Mescalero Apache Tribe in working on this bill. Water is critical for all of us, and this bill is a huge step forward for the community. I am thankful for the hard work of Rep. Pearce, his staff, President Chino, and the Mescalero Tribe. The cooperation among all those involved has been excellent, and will benefit Ruidoso, the Mescalero Tribe, and the surrounding area."
The legislation would permit the lease or transfer of water rights for a term of up to 99 years provided the lease or transfer complies with the laws of New Mexico. The bill both promotes economic growth and emphasizes self-determination rights for Native American communities. Revenue gained from leasing this water would enable the Tribe to invest in vital services for their reservation, such as infrastructure improvements, elder care, and scholarship programs.
Pearce introduced the bill in the 112th Congress, where it saw strong bipartisan support, successfully passing the House of Representatives.

Boy, Beyonce sure looked rusty on stage at the Super Bowl, huh?
Um, no, she didn't. The pop/R&B; icon strutted and belted like the superstar she is Sunday, and soon Chicagoans can see the elaborate show of big singing, stuttering dancing and proudly displayed legs up close. Today promoter Live Nation announced that Beyonce's "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" includes a stop Wednesday, July 17 at United Center. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 11 and will run you from $45-$250.
The tour kicks off April 15 in Belgrade, Serbia and ends Aug. 3 in Brooklyn. Beyonce will need just a bit of energy to conquer the planet for three-and-a-half months (with a month-long break between May 29 in Stockholm, Sweden and June 28 in L.A.), but something tells me she's up for it.

Kings coach Sutter not panicking
Los Angeles Kings head coach Darryl Sutter was not considering jumping off a freeway overpass after Saturday's loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
Despite not being able to take advantage of a 2-0 series lead heading back home to Staple Center, Sutter still feels good about his team's chances in the series with Game 5 taking place Monday in Anaheim.
"Yeah, I'm not rattled," Sutter joked on Sunday. "I'm just thankful I'm alive. I'm fortunate to pull through after a devastating loss (Saturday) night."
The Kings did a lot of good things in the 2-0 loss to the Ducks in Game 4, including limiting Anaheim to just three shots over the final two periods. Those shots were conceded on an extended penalty kill in the third period, having outshot the Ducks 12-0 in the second.
"It's not very often you hold a team to zero shots in a period, or three in a third period," Sutter said. "Quite honestly, if you look at the two periods, or two games that have been played other than the overtime game, and you take out the real low-scoring chance one, which was Game 3, the team that scored first had an abundance of shots. They basically outshot the other team by a lot, but the result was opposite.
"The high-shooting team didn't win. Take the overtime game out because you get an extra period so there are a lot more shots and attempts, but if you look at Game 1 and Game 2, Anaheim really outshot us and we won. And in Game 4, we really outshot them and lost. That's the way it goes."
Having seen his team out-play an opponent and lose on a number of occasions during the regular season, Sutter's outlook wasn't all doom and gloom at practice Sunday.
He did, however, try to play along with the theme of the day, touting out a M.A.S.H reference.
"They had to get me up off the (bed)," Sutter smiled. "Radar and Hawkeye had to get me up to come here today."
