" From Newcastle to Carlisle. "
I'm not a big history buff, but whilst on a mini break in Northumberland, it would have been a terrible shame if we had not visited the very famous remnants of Hadrian's wall, the best preserved parts of which remain in the county of Northumberland, although the wall, in its day, stretching 73 miles went as far as the eastern shores of Cumbria.
Even those, like me, who don't count history as one of their favourite topics, would be impressed by this feat of engineering that is still standing (in some parts) 2000 years after it was built by the Romans. This wall devised by Hadrian was to act as as frontier, keeping the Scottish 'Barbarians' out of the England.
Prior to visiting Hadrian's wall, we had picked up a very good tourist map in a local tourist office, and we were glad we had, as there really is quite a lot ot get your head around, and if you were to do everything on offer, you would really need to set aside a lot of money, or rob a bank! It certainly isn't a cheap day out, but you can still see the best bits within a budget.
Hadrian's wall is signposted very well on the road from Newcastle Uopn Tyne to Hexham, and there are many different turn offs. We had been advised to get onto the old 'military road' that, for the most part, is in parallel with the wall. This old military or Roman road, is a bumpy affair, so don't be expecting a long straight open road. Those who are cycling or walking will find themselves climbing and descending rather frequently. To get onto this road, we decided to take one of the turn off's before Hexham, near Heddon on the Wall. This military road runs through beautiful countryside, which when the sun is shining, is quite spectacular. This is a dangerous road too however, and we were told that there had been many accidents on it, due to the many hidden dips.
We decided that once we had got onto the military road, we would head for the Northumberland National Park Centre at Once Brewed, which is at the further end of the main points of interest along the road. Sites are very well signposted along the road, so there is absolutely no trouble in finding it. We arrived at the relatively small car park of the Once Brewed Visitor Centre, where we noticed that although it was free admission, there was a car park charge of £3. We didn't mind so much however once we found out that this car park ticket was transferrable to the other car parks at the sites along Hadrian's wall. Inside the visitor centre, was a lovely helpful lady who was very knowledgeable about the area, and answered many of our questions, pointing out the highlights to us, one of which was Sycamore Gap, which was used in the filming of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves in the 90's. We wouldn't even have been aware of this apart from the lady, and certainly wouldn't have been able to locate it ourselves, as even the tourist map, doesn't have it marked.
I am only going to review the two areas of Hadrian's wall that we visited. Each of the sites along the wall are individually priced, and most of which are around £5 per adult, with some concessions available. So, if you were to see all the sites along the wall, and pay that at each point, you can see why it is a costly affair, with car parking on top of that. We chose to visit Steel Rigg, which although signposted along the road, is not marked on the tourist map and information, as well as Housesteads, which we were recommended to visit.
The road to Steel Rigg, is practically opposite to the road that leads to Once Brewed. After travelling up a steep windy hill, you come to a limited car park at the top, although there is an overflow car park in the neighbouring field, and your transferrable car parking ticket applies.
Since the weather was so nice that day, albeit it got a lot cloudier as the day went on, there were crowds of people at every destination, many of whom were walkers. The lady at the visitor centre had given us a more detailed map that showed us the location of the Sycamore Gap which was aimed at walkers. We parked the car, and headed for Sycamore Gap. Now, if you are unfit or have breathing difficulties, walking to Sycamore Gap really is not advisable, as the main way to get to this area is over at least three rather steep hills, that although are stepped, are steep in places and not for the faint hearted. I was five months pregnant though still in reasonable fitness and I managed it without too many problems, although good footwear is a must. Once you reach Milecastle, you can breathe a sigh of relief, as you are practically at the gap. You may wonder why people like us want to visit this place, apart from it being in a film, but it is also a rather pretty place to walk to, as there is a rather large Sycamore tree perched right beside a well preserved stretch of Hadrian;s wall, and I suppose it just is a rather strange place to have a tree, but yet it a lovely little gap between the hills and the tree is positioned perfectly in the middle. Now, there are many hardy walkers who would hardly stop at this gap and continue on their walk, but we found that this venture was enough for us, and we turned and took a flatter way back to the car (albeit with the last little bit on the steep road to the car park), that the lady in the visitor centre had told us about. It was a much easier walk, and I suppose it could be used to go to Sycamore Gap both ways, for those not wanting to climb up and down or don't have good footwear. Obviously as you walk along you are getting to see Hadrian's wall at its best, as the wall is extremely well preserved at this point, and you really appreciate the thickness of the wall, in comparison to other stone walls you see in the surrounding countryside.
As it was getting to lunchtime, we returned to the visitor centre, where there was a handful of picnic tables, and enjoyed a picnic lunch in the sunshine.
After this, we headed for Housesteads Roman Fort, which is back along the road. At this venue, is a much larger car park, with a kiosk, shop, toilet and further picnic tables. Admission to Housesteads is over £5 per adult, and you pay at the entrance to the Roman Fort rather than at the car park area. To get to Housesteads, it is short walk (although it is uphill) to the admission office from the car park, where there is also a very interesting little exhibtion about the wall. Housesteads is actually the best preserved fort on the wall. When we paid our admission, we were shown a guide that we could buy, but you really don't need this, unless you love history, as everything around the ruins is labelled telling you what it is. As you approach the first of the ruins, your admission ticket is checked and then you can stroll around the very well kept ruins, where remmants of a Roman hospital, gate entrances and even latrines are easliy viewed. I have to admit, that I have visited Roman ruins before, and these are one of the best example of a ROman fort that I have seen. If you are member of the National Trust of Englsh Heritage then your admission to all these places is free.
All in all, it would be very very easy to spend a whole day or even two at Hadrian's wall, particularly is you are willing to walk along part of the wall. To really appreciate the wall itself, going on even a short walk, really allows you to get up close to it, and see its depth and the sheer labour that went into building it. I would recommend Steel Rigg and Housesteads if you time is limited and your budget restricted. If you have neither issue, then there is plenty to stop off at along the way, that will keep you thoroughly busy!
Apparently Hadrian was a rather decent sort of chap. When he came to power he did indeed have all the leading Roman military leaders murdered so as to start off with a new broom, but apart from this rather drastic (and typically roman) act he set about making things relatively peaceful and sought to consolidate the empire rather than let its expansion run away and get out of control (perhaps he should have been in Banking).
And so Hadrian's Wall was built more to say - this is the limit of our empire, this is far enough rather than just to keep the marauding scots out.
His wife apparently refused to have a child with him claiming the thing would be a monster. She seems a touchy sort - but he did have a young male companion who drowned and left him inconsolable. So maybe she felt left out.
The wall runs from the coast by Newcastle to the opposite coast beyond Carlisle and on to the Solway Firth.
The wall itself is only a few feet high nowadays but is accompanied by what seems like countless remains of roman occupation along the wall, close by it and a short way from it. There are numorous excavated sites and museums to visit along the route and this could be treated as a tour of the wall in itself.
But we'd come to walk a section of wall to see if we'd like to try the whole thing from coast to coast at a later date.
We arrived in Northumbria with no hotel booked and decided to book on arrival. We had Hayden Bridge in mind as somewhere to head for - it looked pretty on the internet with the river running throught the centre but in reality it seemed a bit tired and run down.
So on to Haltwhistle and what a lovely place, more about that in another review I think.
Without realising it we had arrived at possibly the best part of the wall and set out from Haltwhistle bright and early. A two mile bus ride (a roller-coaster ride in itself) and we arrived at Housesteads Roman Fort.
We didn't sightsee here as we were champing at the bit to get up on the wall. And get up is right - it's a fair little trot just to get up on the wall.
I had imagined that the walk would be a rather mundane affair but nice and long with a few things to visit on the way. Not a bit of it.
To my surprise much of the wall is set on the top of what are really cliff-faces and is quite dramatic. There are woods to walk through, lakes to see over and the wall drops and rises quite severly in places and is not for the unfit. We came to a part of the wall where you all but have to climb down a steep drop and at this point the wind came up and made it quite hairy - the other half clinging to the ground for dear life - how we laughed.
I found the views looking north glorious and the brooding colours of Northumbria really give a feeling of portent and help you feel just as those roman legionairies must have felt nearly two millenia ago.
We came off the wall at a waterfilled quarry and followed a trail back to Haltwhistle. This led to an exceptionally beautiful ravine that felt as if we were walking through Lord of the Rings country.
All in all about seven miles and absolutely marvellous every step of the way.
Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site is unique; it is one of the wonders of the world and among the most important archaeological monuments of the last two thousand years. The Roman Emperor Hadrian, who came to Britain in AD122 ordered the building of a wall to mark the boundary of the Roman Empires greatest outpost and to keep the barbarians out, over a period of six years the Roman army built a stone wall eighty Roman miles long, which converts to approximately one hundred and seventeen kilometres or seventy three modern miles, it was five metres (over sixteen feet) high and stretched across England from the Tyne to the Solway, the two extremities now being Wallsend in the east and Bowness in the west. It was one of the Roman Empire's greatest feats of engineering, at each Roman mile along the wall there was a milecastle guarded by eight soldiers and between the milecastles, at one third and two thirds of a Roman mile interval there were sentry turrets therefore the whole length of the wall was constantly manned and every soldier was within sight of another; the whole of the countryside around the wall was under constant observation by the Romans. A deep, wide ditch (called a Vallum) flanked by mounds of earth was dug about ten metres north and south of the wall, these Vallums offered extra protection and made it more difficult for barbarians to penetrate the wall by slowing down anyone trying to attack. Once the wall was completed the Romans strengthened their position by building garrison forts at intervals across the country within easy reach of the wall and the local Celtic people built small towns around the forts to serve the needs of the soldiers and government officials. By AD410 the Roman Empire had declined and Britain was abandoned. The wall became derelict and stones were removed and re-used in local buildings and field walls. Today the best remaining sections of the wall are only one metre high but they a
re still very impressive and there are still many forts, milecastles, temples and turrets to visit along the line of the wall, as well as museums, reconstructions and visitor centres, which all help to bring the whole frontier to life. Hadrian's Wall is not just the surviving Roman remains, but the landscape surrounding the wall, the field walls, barns, great castles and churches that have all been built using stone stolen from the wall. There is so much to see and do along the route of Hadrian's Wall it would be impossible to write in detail about every attraction but some of the must see sights are the Museums and Forts along the route of the Wall. Wallsend Tyne and Wear Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum (Tel. 0191 295 5757) Here you find a military settlement marking the eastern end of the Wall on the banks of the River Tyne. Attractions at Segedunum include a section of the Wall, a reconstructed Roman bathhouse, a visitor centre showing what life was like in a Roman Fort, a thirty-five metre tower providing a bird's eye view of the layout of the excavated fort and an archaeologists dig. Corbridge Roman Site and Museum, Northumberland (Tel. 01434 632349) Known to the Romans as Corstopitum, Corbridge developed into a prosperous garrison town and a supply base for Hadrian's Wall. This is a lovely little town next to the River Tyne and the Museum contains some fascinating archaeological finds and remarkable sculptures. Chesters Roman Fort and Museum, Northumberland (Tel. 01434 681379) Chesters is an extensively excavated cavalry Fort, built next to the wall to accommodate five hundred soldiers. There are impressive remains of a Roman bathhouse along with a Museum containing Roman sculptures and inscriptions. Housesteads Roman Fort and Museum, Northumberland (Tel. 01434 344363) Know to the Romans as Vercovicium, meaning 'place of the effective fight
ers', this is an extensively excavated fort on a dramatic size and contains the only visible example of a Roman hospital in Britain, there are also superbly preserved Roman latrines with a flush system as well as the remains of granaries and barracks. Vindolanda Fort and Museum, Northumberland (01434 344277) Extensive remains of the fort and civilian settlement can be seen at Vindolanda, meaning 'white fields', together with rare Roman writing tablets including an invitation to a party held almost two thousand years ago, leather items, textiles, pottery and wooden objects in the Museum. In the grounds you will find ongoing excavations and reconstructions of Hadrian's Wall in turf and stone, a Roman Temple and Roman house. The above are just a few of the attractions along Hadrian's Wall, archaeologist digs are constantly ongoing and there is a wealth of opportunities for walks alongside the wall, the local transport system offers special Hadrian's Wall rover tickets and there is a year round "Hadrian's Wall Bus" connecting all the major sites to the main town of Hexham. Hadrian's Wall is a very fragile monument; stones removed or damaged can never be replaced. Every single human and animal footstep causes a tiny bit of wear and tear that over time adds up to irreparable harm. To ensure this special part of our heritage is handed on to future generations a footpath runs alongside the wall and you are asked never to walk on the actual wall. An estimated one and a quarter million people visit Hadrian's Wall each year so it is very important we care for, and preserve it. To find the wall head for the River Tyne and follow the signs, most of the wall can be reached from the A69 Newcastle to Carlisle road. Hadrian's Wall is often mistakenly thought of as separating England from Scotland, in fact almost ninety per cent of Northumberland lies north of the wall
and nowhere along its entire length does Scotland come within miles of the remains.

In AD 122, the Imperial Roman army were kicking arses in Northern Africa, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Greece, not to mention humbling the mighty German army on the Rhine and the formidable Boadicea in England. They were unstoppable with their well-drilled army and modern methods of warfare. Unstoppable that is until they reached the river Tyne, a little known river in northern England. Thinking they had little to do to subdue these black and white painted heathens, they sent out legion after legion to capture local chiefs and bring them under the heel of Rome. Imagine their surprise when legion after legion either disappeared entirely or returned in such disarray that it was clear that all was not going to plan. These 'heathens' were in fact Geordies, and no one had told them that Romans were to be obeyed without question. I suppose they just could not take anyone seriously that wore that ridiculous short frock in the bitterly cold North East of England. The head honcho at this time was a certain Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus. Known to the Geordies as Gussie but to everyone else as the Emperor Hadrian. On hearing of this impudent race, Hadrian immediately set sail and arrived on the banks of the Tyne to see for himself the problem in hand. His reception by the Geordies or toon army as they were now called, must have miffed him to say the least as he coined the immortal words 'Sod this for a game of soldiers' and immediately returned to Rome, leaving instructions that a wall be built to 'keep the buggers out'. OK so I have possibly taken liberties with history, but who is to say that my version is not as plausible as any other that you may come across. The main thing is that Hadrian did in fact order a wall to be built across the entire country from coast to coast and it says much for the Roman craftsmen of the days that the 80 miles long wall was completed in 6 years. It ran from Wallsend-on-Tyne in the east to Bowne
ss-on-Solway in the west. Much of the wall has long since disappeared, but parts of the central portion which runs alongside the B6318 is in relatively good condition, and it is here that the forts and museums are situated. The height of the wall was some 15 ft and topped with a parapet. It was an extremely sophisticated piece of engineering. For every mile there was a milecastle guarded by at eight men. Between these milecastles were two turrets for sentries who kept watch over the surrounding countryside. Thus the Romans could keep a close watch on the movement of any goods or people crossing their frontier. To the north of the Wall a deep ditch was excavated called the Vallum, and to the south another ditch flanked by mounds of earth. The Vallum was the Roman equivalent of barbed wire, slowing down an attacking force before it reached the wall itself. As building progressed, Roman control was strengthened by the construction of huge forts along the Wall. It is interesting to note at this point that there were no recorded attempts at breaching the wall, indeed the Northumbrians and the Scots were content to wait until the Romans had tired of playing Bob the Builder and once the legions had bogged off back to Italy, proceeded to dismantle much of the wall and turn the ready made blocks of stone into cowsheds and houses. Now we bring the story up to date. Not the entire wall was destroyed; in fact most of the route is still visible to this day with parts of the wall in remarkably good condition. The Hadrian's Wall and forts we see today are the last remains of this incredible Roman structure. An estimated 1.25 million people visit Hadrian's Wall each year and visit the ten forts and museums, which are open to the public. As only 5% of the Roman remains been examined so far, it is fair to say that new discoveries will be made for many years to come. The forts and museums are: VINDOLANDA HOUSESTEADS CHESTERS <
br>BIRDOSWALD CORBRIDGE ARBEIA SENHOUSE TULLIE HOUSE ROMAN ARMY MUSEUM MUSEUM of ANTIQUITIES It is absolutely impossible to tell you everything that can be seen on a visit to the wall, but I will pick out two of my favourite sites to give you a taste of what you can expect. HOUSESTEADS FORT The Roman name for Housesteads Fort was Vercovicium, this translates as the "place of the effective fighters". I think they were referring to us don't you? The fort had massive barracks that accommodated a regiment of some 800 men and the excavations, which can be inspected by the public, include Barracks, Granaries, Hospital, The Commandant's House and the headquarters of the garrison. Excavations are ongoing but everything is explained down to the smallest detail. Take your time browsing around the ruins. With a little imagination it is possible to reconstruct in your mind the hustle and bustle of the Roman way of life. Sit on the carved stone toilets (they were communal toilets in those days) as thousands of soldiers before you and give thanks to the great God Andrex. Sanitation was uppermost in those days and central heating and bathhouses were taken for granted. VINDOLANDA Vindolanda means white lawns or white fields and lies just a few miles south of Hadrian's Wall. It must have been the jewel in the Roman crown in the area. A huge timber courtyard that has been excavated outside the fort is thought to have been Hadrian's residence during his stay in Britain. Much is known about Vindolanda as valuable wooden tablets were found during the excavations. These tablets provide a rare source of a material, which seldom survived, giving details about private life in the fort. Here you can see a reconstruction of part of the wall including a gatehouse. This gives you some idea of the immense undertaking that the Romans completed. Charges for
admission to the forts and museums vary considerably and details of these and further information of all these sites can be found at www.hadrians-wall.org To find the wall, leave the M6 at Carlisle and travel east along the A69 to Greenhead. Here take the B6318 and you will find yourself in Hadrian's Wall countryside. In any case the wall is signposted for miles around and impossible to miss.

F1 photographer Mark Sutton picks his six favourite photos from the season finale in Brazil
Seb on Friday
This was the team shot on the Friday night and it was just a great opportunity for me to get portraits. I decided to go to the side to shoot Seb on my long lens - the 500mm - and at one point he looked round, which was great. It's a nice, clean background against the sky. It's a lovely blue sky but you can't see it; he's in the shade so that's why it's a bit washed out. Vettel was quite tense at this point, I must admit. At one point he noticed somebody that didn't look right and decided to talk to Mark and said "I think he works for another team". But this guy was with his girlfriend and taking pictures on his iPhone! So he went up to him and looked at his pass and was like "Oh yeah, typical Ferrari" - I think he's a bit paranoid sometimes. In this case he was paranoid, he was more worried about the guy on his iPhone but all the photographers around got way more shots of the car. It seemed to create a little bit of tension but he was adamant this guy was from another team; he was quite tense over the whole weekend to be honest. The shot on the right is just before the shoot and is lovely light. The low sun actually made them delay the shoot because everyone would have been squinting, but it made for a nice shot here. Seb had to wait around a lot until the sun went down and he was playing around with the front jack in the garage; he just seemed to be very fidgety and tense knowing the weather forecast and what lay ahead.
Hamilton's parting shot
McLaren did a team shot as well, and afterwards they said let's do a team shot for Lewis. At first we were going to do it with the car that was in the pit lane but it was Button's car, so Lewis was like "Let's do it on mine" and went and jumped on his car. The team allowed us up to the garage pit lane marker and we were able to shoot really close, which was nice. It was a nice little memento for him I suppose, especially as he didn't come back with the goods. He also ran this Thank You McLaren logo on his helmet for the team, and pointed to it in parc ferme when he had taken pole position and new cameras would be on him. It was just that sort of weekend for Lewis with the focus being on his final race more than anything else.
Schumacher flies the flag
This was quite a funny story, because I was doing all the grid pictures and had started from the back and moved to the front. Then I saw on the big screen that Michael was driving round with this flag and I thought "I need to get a picture of that" because Keith was on the grid and doing turn two so would have missed it, turn one would have missed it because he's already out of the pit lane, and the other guy on the back straight was on the wrong side! So I had to run down to the back of the grid again, so I was running down the middle of the pit lane and everyone was looking at me saying "Where are you going?" but I didn't have time to explain so just ran to the beginning of the pit lane, went past the FIA guys and managed to get in position. I just wanted a shot of the flag itself flapping in the air, but this was at the end of the lap so he had slowed down a little bit and it's not as clear as I wanted it to be. But at least it's a shot with the flag, unless you were on the track you wouldn't have got it. Carrying a flag in the cockpit is supposed to be banned - I think to stop them slowing down and getting things at the end of the race - but because it was Michael it didn't really matter.
Vettel's horror moment
I came off the grid and couldn't decide whether to do turn 10 or elsewhere. I usually do the wide shot of turn 10 as it's like a hairpin but as it was raining I thought I'd get a bit closer and went to turn 8 so I could shoot across to turns 4 and 5. From here I can shoot across with the long lens and do the rest on the zoom lens or the wide lens, but I got in position and I couldn't really see beyond some trees to turns 4 and 5. I knew something would happen down there - it usually does every year - so moved further down a bank and got a good shot. I got my 500 ready and panned them down the straight so that I was literally ready for anything to happen. I saw this unfolding and just kept my finger on the button, followed it down and got 30 or 40 frames of it. These four are probably the best, I've blown it up a little bit but it's pretty much as you see it.
Romain wrecks his Lotus
I didn't really see the crash but I heard it on the Fanvision and it alerted me. A lot of people just got on the kerb and lost it - I think di Resta was the same and Maldonado too - but he hit the tyres at 9.5G I heard. It was a huge impact because it's a quick corner and it's banked so if you do lose it you're heading off at high speed. That's what the tyres are there for and they did save him I suppose, but the smoke coming out of the car creates quite a nice image and you can see it's totally wrecked. I'm sure Lotus got another hefty bill for repairs! I shot this from the same spot as Vettel's crash; I've just spun around. It was on the 500 from a mega distance, but with the quality of the cameras these days we are able to blow them up and turn them in to usable, relatively close in shots.
Vettel's victory moment
I can't pick a favourite out of these. With Schumacher beside him is a good moment, it's like the changing of the guard I suppose. They were side-by-side in parc ferme and it was a carnage moment as all the photographers were waiting and as soon as he came in we all ran to the car, it was a bit crazy. I got a reasonable position - you're never happy with what you've got - but I did a decent job with everyone else behind me. Then he went and sat on the car which was quite a nice shot as he pretended to be a bullfighter sat on the bull. Next he ran over to the team and the team picture was also carnage as we were all running through parc ferme after him, at any other race we probably would have been banned! Then I went across to the gate to go towards the TV pen and all of a sudden Seb and Christian Horner came over, so it was just me, two photographers and a TV camera. I was just shooting away and capturing really nice emotions as Christian was shouting at him "You've done it, you've done it, your third title" but I don't think Seb could take it all in. Christian had hold of his head and was shaking it with pure emotions and it seemed Seb couldn't believe it. These are the photos that show the real emotions; I didn't shoot the race podium or Red Bull's podium set-up because although they were great they're part of the script, not the immediate reaction or emotion which we really want.

The two rail companies said the DM&E west end encompasses approximately 660 miles of CP's current operations between Tracy, Minn., and Rapid City, S.D., north of Rapid City to Colony, Wyo, south of Rapid City to Dakota Jct., Neb., and connecting branch lines, as well as trackage from Dakota Junction to Crawford, Neb., currently leased to the Nebraska Northwestern Railroad (NNW).
Under the terms of the definitive transaction agreements, the purchase price is approximately US$210 million, subject to certain adjustments including the purchase of inventory, equipment and vehicles.
Customers on the line ship approximately 52,000 carloads annually of grain, bentonite clay, ethanol, fertilizer, and other products. The new rail operation will have the ability to interchange with Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, BNSF, and the NNW, the two railroads said.
The asset sale is expected to close by mid-2014, subject to approval of the U.S. Surface Transportation Board and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Upon closing, the new railroad will be named the Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern Railroad.
Darien, Conn.-based Genesee & Wyoming expects to hire approximately 180 employees to staff the new company and anticipates these employees will come primarily from those currently working on the rail line.
CP said the agreement concludes the comprehensive strategic review process that Calgary, Alberta-based CP launched more than a year ago on Dec. 4, 2012. CP has operated the rail line in this area since it assumed operational control of the DM&E railroad in 2008, and will continue to own and operate approximately 1,900 miles of former DM&E track following the sale of the west end.
For CP, it is anticipated the sale will result in a net after-tax write down of approximately USD $240 million, subject to closing adjustments, which will be recorded in CP's fourth quarter 2013 financial statements. The transaction is cash positive for CP and the sale will not have a material effect on anticipated future earnings. For G&W, it is expected the transaction will generate annual revenues of approximately US$65 million and be immediately accretive to book and cash earnings per share in 2014.
"There is a strong long-term franchise here and we are pleased to have found a partner in Genesee & Wyoming, which will maintain a high standard of customer service," said CP Chief Executive Officer E.

Future Hall of Famer Craig Biggio talks about closing in 3,000 hits in the latest Players Talk show.
Biggio has been a steady defensive player throughout his career, spending significant time at catcher, center field, and second base, the position at which he has won four Gold Glove Awards.
It's Biggio's offense, however, that has made him a sure bet to be enshrined in Cooperstown. Over the course of his 20 Major League seasons, Biggio has slugged nearly 300 home runs and has stolen over 400 bases, while posting a .282 lifetime batting average.
Biggio credits his consistency to an understanding of his changing physical capabilities and to perpetual fine-tuning at the plate.
"As time changes, as pitchers change, and as you change physically, you have to be willing to make adjustments," Biggio tells host Marty Lurie. "It hasn't always been smooth and easy, but I've taken some chances and things have worked out."

Quilting My Rainbow
I'm very content not to have any snow or ice...always brings dangerous problems. I would very much like to get out and visit library and possibly Home Depot for some of the directional covers for floor furnace.
Well we're getting more s**w. Winter weather warning in effect until Friday. It's coming down really hard and fast here. Our guy just left after plowing the driveway and I'm sure he'll be back a few more times today if it continues like this. Because we are close to the coast there's a chance for this to mix with rain so it will keep our totals down. The "interior" should get six to ten inches.
My thoughts and prayers to all of you in the storm. This is a bad one. Stay warm, and off the roads. Thea, that means YOU. Cancel your trip unless things get better fast!
We got at least 8 " of snow here by last night, according to the news. I think we really got more than that but my GS and GGS came over and shoveled the whole driveway, walkway and patio area of snow last night just as it was letting up so I can't measure it now.
My daughter is with me from Oregon right now and is leaving to go back to Oregon early tomorrow AM. She is going by train, takes 41 hours fro here. We are going out for supper soon, going to a favorite restaurant of mine where they make their own corned beef and the sandwiches are awesome. They also have awesome homemade soups. Hmmm, I think I am starting to drool. See you all later. Ginny
Well we didn't get the change over so we're getting the full dose up to 2 feet they're saying. THis was the scene just before leaving for work:
This one was taken on the drive to work:
and here's the scene outside the ED:
It's still coming down. The ride home should be interesting.
OH Kris, yuck. You be careful
[Ava, Missouri
Kris, hope and pray you get home safe or have a nice warm place to sleep at work.
THAT's A LOT OF SNOW !!!!!!!
from TN
Oh, Kris, be very careful. Though I am sure you know how to dirve in that stuff. Still, be careful.
I guess you will have a major busy night at work also, HUH?
LaJuan Sukochi Lee:I guess you will have a major busy night at work also, HUH?
Not at all. I've only seen one patient since I got here at 2:30. Pat Ann and I have been surfing the net and catching up here, laughing a lot too. She's actually working now and I'm at the front desk alone.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts. I live three miles from work, I just drive close to the middle of the road and take it slow.
Made it home safely.
your snow is beautious, kris

Apple Slims iPad With Power-Efficient 64-Bit A7
26 comments
SAN FRANCISCO -- Amid the usual cacophony of news media noise, speculation, and up-to-the-nanosecond tweeting, Apple announced at an event today that its latest slimmed-down iPads will have a Retina screen and the company's A7 64-bit processor. It also said its new Mavericks operating system will be free, along with iWorks and iLife software products.
The new iPad Air has a 9.7-inch Retina screen and earns its name by shedding 28 percent of its predecessor's weight and 20 percent of its thickness, Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said at the event. The company said in its product announcement that the device weighs one pound and has a smaller battery thanks to the A7's power efficiency. It also said the iPad Air offers up to 10 hours in battery life and performs 2x faster than the previous generation.
Apple's M7 motion coprocessor is on board, too, and is adding to the power efficiency. The company said the motion coprocessor "gathers data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass to offload work from the A7 for improved power efficiency."
The iPad Mini has a Retina screen with the same 2,048-by-1,536 resolution as the iPad Air in a slightly smaller space: a 7.9-inch Multi-Touch display. Both the iPad Air and the Mini have two antennas and "for the first time have MIMO," Schiller said. Both also have a HD camera that plays at 1,080p, along with an iSight camera with 5MP sensor and advanced optics, and they support OpenGL ES version 3.0.
"Image signal processing of A7, further improves still image and video capture on iPad bringing faster auto-focus, up to three times video zoom, five times still zoom, better dynamic range and automatic image and video stabilization," the company said in its press release.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said at the event that the company sold its 170 millionth iPad in October. "Now everyone seems to be making a tablet, even the doubters."
The company also announced new flavors of its MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, with Retina screens, longer battery life, and (depending on the model) quad- or dual-core Intel Core i5/i7 processors and Intel Iris Pro for graphics.
In his keynote, Cook poked some fun at his competitors, saying they are confused and trying to make PCs into tablets and tablets into PCs. "We still believe deeply in this category." By "this," he must have meant both categories: PCs and tablets.
Beyond improved battery life, green design and US jobs were themes at the event. Without Steve Jobs, Apple may be becoming aware of its green and social image. Throughout the presentation, the company displayed each hardware product's green cred and pointed out those designed and assembled in America.

For the last concert of Jay-Z's eight-night run at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, not only did the rapper allow the show to be live-streamed (via his new Life and Times YouTube channel), but he brought out the wife, Beyonce Knowles.
"I'm so proud to be here," said Beyonce as part of her "Diva"-"Crazy In Love" medley — with hubby Jay joining the singer for the latter number, as he did on the 2003 track.
Some PDA came with the mid-set number, like when Jay playfully slapped his girl on the bootie and an adorable embrace at the son's end.
Beyonce made a return appearance for the night's closing number, "Young Forever," singing the hook lifted from the 1984 "Alphaville" hit and obliging her husband's request: "BB, bring the chorus in."
Jay-Z is a minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets, who will play in the 19,000-seat arena, which was officially opened on Sept. 28.

Gonzalez's walk-off homer completes cycle
Outfielder blasts first pitch of Rockies' ninth into upper deck
By Joey Nowak / MLB.com
Anointed as such by his teammates last season, Carlos Gonzalez has a pink horse figurine in his clubhouse locker next to a photo of him posing next to a pony in his Rockies uniform.
But to the Rockies, the outfielder has become the horse they're hoping to ride all the way back to the playoffs.
Gonzalez, a vital piece of the puzzle the Rockies stood pat on through a bevy of trade rumors this week, capped a historic Saturday night by hitting a walk-off solo homer into the upper deck at Coors Field to put an exclamation point on the game in which Gonzalez hit for the cycle and the Rockies beat the Cubs, 6-5.
"Little theater involved in that one," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said afterward with a wry smile.
Masterpiece theater.
Such moments are saved for screenplays and fantasies. Gonzalez -- along with a sellout crowd of 48,065 -- will be pinching himself about that moment for some time.
"It was just magic," said Gonzalez, who suddenly finds himself amid a race for the National League batting title with a .321 average. "I never thought I'd finish the game with a home run and finish with the cycle."
Gonzalez had already established himself as a Cub-killer, going 19-for-34 against Chicago in his career. He had already singled, tripled and doubled in his first three at-bats. "I think we've seen enough of Mr. Gonzalez," said Cubs acting manager Alan Trammell, sitting in as Lou Piniella mourns a death in his family.
All he needed was a homer. And a fastball.
He got both.
"It's safe to say he was looking for something firm early in the count," Tracy said. "It showed up, it was elevated and it was over the middle of the plate."
The left fielder, left off the NL All-Star roster this season, leads the league with a .383 home batting average and the Rockies in nearly all offensive categories.
But the lefty was very nearly robbed of his opportunity. Starting pitcher Jason Hammel was excellent for 7 1/3 innings before giving way with one out and two on in the eighth. Rafael Betancourt took the hill and recorded a strikeout before surrendering a three-run blast to Derrek Lee, which tied the game at 5.
Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth to set up the ending. Cubs reliever Sean Marshall allowed five earned runs in Friday's 17-2 drubbing, but Trammell said he went with the lefty because of the matchups.
"He's the guy in the lineup we didn't want to beat us, and I went in and challenged him and he beat us," Marshall said.
The first-pitch fastball stayed over the heart of the plate, and Gonzalez hammered the no-doubter 462 feet into the third deck of the Coors Field seats.
"Big-time players show up in big-time moments," Street said. "To hit a walk-off home run and seal the deal on your cycle -- cycles don't happen. They don't happen in baseball. ... He's just that good, and he's an exciting player."
The cycle was the sixth in Rockies history and first since shortstop Troy Tulowitzki did it on Aug. 10, 2009. It was the first time a Major Leaguer clinched a cycle with a walk-off homer since Dwight Evans did it for the Red Sox on June 28, 1984.
Colorado, a team known historically to catch fire and go on streaks of epic proportions at the drop of a hat, has quickly won three straight. After failing to score more than four runs during an eight-game losing streak that ended earlier this week, the Rockies have compiled 32 runs in their past three games.
It's further proof that Colorado, neither selling nor buying at the non-waiver Trade Deadline, knows how to piece its current parts together for a winning model. How the Rockies win, however, has become a different story.
"Storybook," Hammel said. "It's huge for our momentum. ... It's that funny game of baseball showing up where, sometimes, things don't click. Right now, they are."

HE Bolt
Edit Page Last Edit:
The HE Bolt (Short for high explosive bolt) is a special bolt for the Crossbow. It's unlocked by completing the A good demo man Assignment. This bolt is a short range bolt laden with C4, exploding on impact. While not packing as much punch as an RPG shot or C4 charge, it still gives Assault players (who normally only have grenades in way of explosives) a chance to destroy vehicles or blow holes in the terrain to make tactical use of the destruction in Battlefield 3.

A heart murmur is a blowing, whooshing, or rasping sound heard during a heartbeat. The sound is caused by rough blood flow through the heart valves or near the heart.
Chest sounds - murmurs; Heart sounds - abnormal; Murmur - innocent; Innocent murmur; Systolic heart murmur; Diastolic heart murmur
The heart has four chambers:
The heart has valves that close with each heartbeat, causing blood to flow in only one direction. The valves are located between the chambers.
Murmurs can happen for many reasons, such as:
There are several ways in which your doctor may describe a murmur:
When a murmur is more prominent, the doctor may be able to feel it with the palm of the hand over the heart.
The doctor will take the following into consideration when examining you:
Many heart murmurs are harmless. These types of murmur are called innocent murmurs. They will not cause any symptoms or problems. Innocent murmurs do not need treatment.
Significant murmurs can be caused by:
Significant murmurs in children are more likely to be caused by:
Children often have murmurs as a normal part of development. These murmurs do not require treatment, and may include:
A doctor or nurse can listen to your heart sounds using a tool called a stethoscope, which is placed over your chest. You will be asked questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
The doctor may ask you to squat, stand, or hold your breath while bearing down or gripping something with your hands to listen to your heart.

Brought to you by Axon
Hands-on versus nonlethal weapons
This month's article was inspired by an excellent newspaper article by journalist Mike Saccone in The Daily Sentinel, in Grand Junction (CO), published June 17, 2006. (Read the article)
The article was quite well done (better than most on the subject), documenting several points of view about policy and training issues. It points out the varying use of force statistics from one agency to another around Colorado. The variances seem attributable to varying use of force policies.
But I am troubled by some of the quotes in the article.
One respected research expert wondered if officers, "instead of doing what they should do - wrestle with someone, put their hands on them - are using a Taser."
I question if "hands-on" and "wrestling" are what an officer should do in many situations, because these tactics frequently result in major injuries, even death.
Surely officers should be trained to be proficient in defensive tactics, and goodness knows officers are attacked enough to have to use "hands-on" and "wrestling" tactics. But when there is distance between the officer and suspect, and time to deploy them, nonlethal weapons should be preferred in many cases to going "hands-on" with a resisting suspect.
Although the numbers have improved in recent years, the fact is that nearly one out of ten officers who are murdered in this country are still murdered with their own handguns, taken away from them during the "hands-on" and "wrestling" endeavors.
To say nothing of the major injuries to suspects and to officers that result from playing patty-cake instead of getting the nasty job done from 10-20 feet away with a nonlethal weapon.
As the police profession has evolved, changes in standards have resulted in hiring smaller, kinder, gentler cops who-while more effective at tactical communications than their predecessors--are less apt to be successful with "hands-on" and "wrestling" approaches.
Tactics instructors and physical training instructors all over the country bemoan this reality. It is a reality that we must adapt to, and nonlethal weapons are a big part of the answer.
The courts have been very supportive of officers resorting to nonlethal weapons instead of going to war, rolling around in the dirt with a suspect. Looks neat on TV, but not fun (or safe) in real life.
The 11th Circuit Court in the Draper v. Reynolds case (2004) supported the use of a Taser by an officer, acting alone, when she confronted a traffic violator who was hostile, belligerent, and uncooperative:
- "A verbal arrest command accompanied by attempted physical handcuffing, in these particular factual circumstances, may well have, or would likely have, escalated a tense and difficult situation into a serious physical struggle in which either Draper or Reynolds would be seriously hurt."
Devices like the Taser, pepper spray, and other nonlethal weapons that keep time and distance on the officer's side are the Great Equalizers in an environment where drugged-out, oversized nuts are more drugged out and oversized and nuttier than ever before.
More restrictive shooting policies and greater public scrutiny of use of force than in the past require the "brawn gap" to be filled by better, safer tools and tactics than those of our predecessors.
The restrictions on neck restraints in many agencies are another example of policy eliminating the best "hands-on" tactic available. So it should be no surprise that nonlethal weapons are bigger players in our use of force picture.
Officers have come a long way in their ability to use verbalization to defuse many critical incidents, making the arrest without using force. In fact, statistically it is the overwhelming norm to "talk people to jail,' as concluded by studies that show force is used in about one percent of all arrests.
But as I wrote in a previous article, officers continue to "talk people to death" in some incidents that would have a better resolution if appropriate force were used early.
Verbalizing, verbalizing, verbalizing, afraid to use force because of fear of the administrative and legal aftermath, only to end up shooting the suspect to death as the incident goes further and further down the toilet because we FAILED to do our duty to take decisive action to subdue the resisting suspect before the situation degenerated to the fatal moment.
This FAILURE plays out in what I've long estimated to be 1/4 to 1/3 of officer-involved shootings that might have been resolved by early use of nonlethal weapons, aggressively deployed.
A handful of the usual suspects continue to die in custody, regardless of what police tool or tactic was used.
- "Man Dies After Being Pepper Sprayed"
"Man Dies After Being Tasered"
"Man Dies After Police Use Chokehold"
"Man Dies After Being Hog-Tied"
The custody death question continues to get sexy media play, but respected medical researchers continue to point to "excited delirium," that is, being flipped out, hyperactive, hyperthermic, and ultra-violent.
Nobody has yet documented any increase in the trend line over many years for sudden in-custody deaths, nor that any particular police tool or tactic is overrepresented in such cases.
Because Tasers have rapidly come into much wider use, they are now associated in 25-30 percent of sudden in-custody deaths, which is to say that they are NOT associated in 65-70 percent of sudden in-custody deaths.
The cause-of-death answer generally continues to be found in excited delirium that occurs in a small percentage of people using cocaine, PCP, or meth, and schizophrenics off their meds. This has been the case for decades.
The headlines change, but doctors say the medical causes of these deaths remain the same.
Everywhere nonlethal weapons are implemented, injuries drop, officer-involved shootings drop, many would-be uses of force are averted by the mere display of the weapon, and the world is a happier place.
Agencies that upon implementation had poor policy, training, and review processes that resulted in inappropriate uses of their nonlethal weapons seem to be moving toward the center, as is the history adapting to new stuff. There needs to be continued vigilance to ensure that the devices are used appropriately to reduce deaths and injuries, to officers and suspects.
Agencies need to diligently apply the principles of the Graham v. Connor case from the United States Supreme Court, which ruled that police use of force must be "objectively reasonable" in light of the facts and circumstances confronting them, taking into account such factors as "the severity of the crime at issue, whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and whether he is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight."
So I am baffled when respected experts continue to advocate "conventional tactics," "talking down," "hands-on," and "wrestling" in today's environment. All of these have proven to be more injurious and more deadly than using nonlethal weapons.
I still owe you a deeper discussion of "policy" issues. Maybe next month!
Until then, stay safe . . .

Hamilton will not get No. 1 status over Rosberg - Brawn
- Drivers:
- Ross Brawn

- Lewis Hamilton

- Nico Rosberg
Lewis Hamilton will race on equal terms with Nico Rosberg at Mercedes next year and did not ask for any preferential treatment during his contract negotiations, according to team principal Ross Brawn.
Hamilton and Mercedes announced the new deal last week with the British driver saying he is looking for a "fresh challenge" after five seasons racing for McLaren. The news broke after long-drawn-out contract negotiations, but Brawn said Hamilton had not asked for special treatment at any point.
"Lewis never asked for any priority at all, he just asked for equality," Brawn told Autosport. "He was pleasant in that he had no desires to have any special treatment or any unique facilities. Lewis just expects to have an equal opportunity in the team, as we would like to do as well.
"The conversation was relatively short in that area and I was impressed that he was positive enough to take that view and not attempt to protect some sort of position which would have been quite difficult for the team to accept. We never got into a discussion because Lewis didn't raise it. And if he had raised it, we probably wouldn't have wanted to do it."
Brawn added that he is confident Hamilton will be a good fit at Mercedes and the team will get the best out of him.
"I'm sure he's had a great deal of support at McLaren but you never know until you start working with anyone really," he said. "We have our views on how we should approach things and it seems to align with Lewis's views of how he'd like to approach things and I'm optimistic that it's going to be a strong team, not just with me but the rest of the company."

Mike Garnett: Becoming an English Teacher in Syria
August 9, 2010
I feel like I left part of me in Syria. If I could, I would buy my friends plane tickets and show them the U.S.
By chance I was hired as an English teacher at the National School of Aleppo. Living in Colorado in 2005, I was looking for an opportunity to learn Arabic. My friend Jon had graduated from the University of Colorado and was offered a job as an English teacher in Syria. I asked for an interview with the recruiter, and he hired me on the spot with no prior teaching experience. All of our expenses such as flights, housing, and health insurance were covered. After some suspicion and digging around - I'm a cynical person - we both jumped at the opportunity and lived in Syria for four years.
It was stressful at first. The school fostered a competitive environment between administrators and foreign and local staff. Life is difficult in Syria - people work around the clock. They get paid very little even after earning a college degree. It's almost an unspoken caste system. My last two years I taught science and English to middle and high school students and started an athletic league at ICARDA, a United Nations-run school. I loved my students and became part of a community.
After four years of realizing day after day that I loved teaching language, it was time to move on. I searched for graduate programs, and my love for surf culture brought me to California. I even wrote my senior thesis on surf culture from the 1930s until present.
Before beginning the TESOL program, Syria was a messy experience. I knew that English teachers should follow certain DOs and DON'Ts, but I wasn't sure what they were. And I didn't journal or reflect about my classroom experiences.
My coursework at the Monterey Institute has provided the structure to explore my role as a teacher. And after meeting students from other programs, I have a greater understanding of how language learning impacts our efforts to understand other cultures and bring peace.
Teaching is a process. You will not be perfect, but can focus on your self-awareness and professional development.
Check out Mike's blog to learn more about his adventures in Syria.

Every once in a while I receive an email from an unhappy customer complaining that the ad they placed in Vending Times isn't yielding satisfactory results. Often, that comment is followed by a request for more exposure in the magazine -- which, freely translated, means "what else can you do for me?" Other times I'm not so fortunate; the business is cancelled with no door left open for discussion.
When given the opportunity to assist the client, I will usually recommend trying a new approach, offer alternatives for testing the market and try to help them reach the buyer more effectively. Of course, there are times when the complaint has no basis in reality. The customer has already made the decision to go elsewhere, or is merely alleging dissatisfaction as a negotiating tool for a cheaper price! I'm certain this scenario is familiar to all of us who have a product or service to sell, whether that business is vending, coin-operated amusements or magazine publishing.
Unfortunately, the complex truth about advertising is that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. If people, for whatever reason, are not disposed to buy your products, then advertising will not compel them to do so.
There are two general approaches to dealing with this. One involves taking a look at the things people aren't buying, and seeing what you can do to make them more salable. What attributes of your goods or services are perhaps not fully understood by prospective purchasers, but can help operators keep their revenues up during these trying times? What are you seeing other operators or suppliers doing that appear to be working?
The other approach, not incompatible with the first, is to recognize that there are times when people won't buy much of anything, and to adopt a posture that maximizes the likelihood that when they are able to start buying again, they will buy from you. This is an important role that advertising can play, but only a few astute companies recognize it. It is also known as branding. A purveyor who recognizes that the present situation is bad, but that we are all in it together and, collectively, can hang together and advance toward higher ground, will build goodwill and, ultimately, sales -- if his stuff is appealing to potential customers.
Editorial surely has a role to play in reinforcing either or both of these approaches. For example, if a company has an operator-oriented series of line enhancements, that would certainly warrant getting the word out to the industry. And I would recommend continuing and updating that communication as each new enhancement is introduced. Or, if a company were to emphasize its commitment to the long-term health, and recovery, of the industry, this would be worth writing about. But puffery, or treating editorial as a free alternative to advertising, will do no good at all.
The late Bert Betti Jr. told Billboard magazine in 1967, "operators must take pride in services they provide." I think all of us should, and we should communicate that pride in our marketing communications, whether advertising or public relations. You advertise and promote in order to sell things, of course, but you also advertise as an act of industry citizenship or solidarity, which in turn helps build customer confidence.
If people are not buying your product, it is not likely that the big problem is your advertising -- unless you aren't doing any, which is a real problem. It is important to recognize that the audiences for different types of product or service have different needs and desires, even if the same person appears in several of those audiences. The decision to try a new $1 candy bar is made on grounds very unlike those that guide a decision to buy a vending machine or, for that matter, a new cellular telephone.
Effective advertising is effective because it calls attention to something that people really want, but may not know about (or may not know enough about to understand why they want it). Advertisers cannot create demand; all they can do is show people how to satisfy that demand. If they will recognize the solution when they see it, then your advertisement can show it to them, and it will work. A prime example is Apple's consumer electronics gadgets. If simply spending a ton of money on really cool advertising actually changed peoples' minds, then the Ford Edsel would have been one of the best-selling automobiles of all time.
It also is important to keep in mind that some things are bought when they're needed: your old computer won't run new software that you really want to use, or you get a new location by offering to install a new machine. When such a need arises, many of us will remember having seen an attractive, informative ad for something that will meet that need. The manufacturer who runs those ads regularly, so we can find one in a recent publication, is the one who is most likely to make the sale.

That's because it comes in the shape of an old-school boombox, which, these days, is about quaint as a telegraph machine or a crankable record player. You can admire the exterior all you want (or not): what's actually in the box is the complete discography and then some, of one of the greatest and most influential rock groups of all time.

Jakob Dylan Gets His Clash On With "Reboot"Dylan has often referenced Joe Strummer and The Clash as a huge influence, and he wears it proudly on his sleeve on the new Wallflowers single, "Reboot The Mission." With a piano driven rocksteady beat, the song wouldn't sound out of place on Combat Rock. But The Clash references go far beyond just the sound of the song.

The link is a facet of FEC's announced plan to establish "All Aboard Florida" intrastate passenger rail service between Miami and Orlando, and eventually Jacksonville, using active FEC right-of-way for much of the route but expanding service to the Orlando area by adding roughly 40 miles of new right-of-way.
Some observers on Friday suggested that FEC is also eyeing potentially large lucrative intermodal freight opportunities that the Class II railroad could tap, as well as scoring public relations points for expanding passenger intermodal options. FEC is considered by many to be particularly adept at handling intermodal freight, a mainstay of the railroad.
But "I don't think they're getting an intermodal freight connection to Orlando, but an intermodal passenger connection," one local source told Railway Age. "They're using the same terminology in Miami for their connection between the Metrorail, commuter rail, and the airport's people mover."
"We view the potential opportunity as positive news because it follows our master and strategic plans," Orlando International Airport Executive Director Phil Brown in a statement Wednesday. "The addition of rail, which has always been viewed as significant, will make Orlando International Airport truly an intermodal gateway."
The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which operates Orlando International, says it already has invested in "infrastructure for a station that could accommodate up to four rail systems," including SunRail regional (commuter) rail service serving the Orlando metropolitan area.
Coral Gables, Fla. based Florida East Coast Industries is owned by New York-based Fortress Investment Group LLC.

INTERPOL training course focuses on implementation of sanctions against Al-Qaida and the Taliban
ROME, Italy – Law enforcement officials from across Europe attended a training course designed to raise awareness of the important work INTERPOL is carrying out in support of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committees, with a focus on the INTERPOL-UNSC Special Notices.
The five-day training course (5-9 March) on Implementing the UNSC sanctions against Al-Qaida and the Taliban held in Rome brought together more than 20 officers from 12 countries to learn the details of the system of the INTERPOL-UNSC Special Notices designed to alert law enforcement to individuals and entities that are subject to the UNSC sanctions measures regimes against Al-Qaida and the Taliban, namely an assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.
Participants gained a sound knowledge of the UN and INTERPOL tools available to aid in the fight against terrorism, as well as the various forms of cooperation between the two organizations.
The seminar targeted experts from counter-terrorism and financial investigation units, border control and immigration authorities and INTERPOL National Central Bureaus. Topics covered included how to effectively use INTERPOL-UNSC Special Notices; the role of the UN, particularly the Security Council sanctions committees, in fighting terrorism; and the interaction between
INTERPOL and the Security Council sanctions committees. The training also enabled the participants to identify the actors and processes of the implementation of the sanctions regimes at their own national and regional levels.
Countries that participated in the seminar were Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Italy, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Vatican City State.

"I've been reading the Urban Tantra," Wesley Stromberg says when asked what he does to make Emblem3's tour bus feel like home. "It's kind of like the Karma Sutra, but a modern version told from the perspective of this girl that lives in New York. I'm also reading a book about Neil Young. Everything that he went through is so inspiring."
That's the kind of dichotomy that defines a conversation with the members of Emblem3. On the one hand, they're the So-Cal version of a boy band, with all the dashing good looks and skater-boy charm that implies. On the other hand, their biggest idols are Blink-182: for the music, the shock factor and the boyish sense of humor.
As for what else is happening on the back of Emblem3's bus, Keaton Stromberg is mastering the new Grand Theft Auto game on his XBox 360 and Drew Chadwick is binge-watching Breaking Bad. They call it their lair and they've tricked it out with a mobile studio. The idea is that the former X Factor finalists, who are signed to Simon Cowell's Syco Music imprint, can write and record songs while on the road as Selena Gomez's opening act, never quite slowing down their pace. Their latest focus is a new video for their current single, "3000 Miles," a real tear-jerker of a power ballad.

"Would you say, even, buzz ballad? Like, 'I'm falling even more in love with you,'" Chadwick asks, breaking into Lifehouse's 2001 hit "Hanging By a Moment." He segued smoothly from that into Eve 6's "Here's To The Night," Bush's "Glycerine" and Third Eye Blind's "Jumper," completing some sort of '90s rock power ballad circle of life.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Jetfire, Jan 13, 2012.
Rickards kind of has a 70s starlet thing going on there. I love it!
Okay, why could Digg's recording capture Momma Queen's voice intact, but turned Captain Jack into Darth Merlyn?
Nice to see David Anders being the bad guy again. Mr. Sark lives!
Yeah, he was fun. I really enjoyed this episode, I liked the stuff with Digg, and all the Hood/Det. Lance/Laurel developments we got. The island story was good too.
So is the guy we've seen in the Deathstroke mask so far not Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, or was he full of crap?
EDIT: They've released a new trailer that has a quick clip of Roy Harper, and seems to confirm AgentRichard07's implied spoiler.
The reporter on that article didn't watch the trailer very closely did she?
You think he's a good guy on Once Upon a Time?
Yeah, his character is rather grey (LOL, pun not intended) in OUAT.
Moira Queen! You have failed this city!
ETA: Looks like we get plenty of Felicity next week.
I wondered this too.
Teacher, teacher, I know this one, ask me!
Ronald Reagan, as the Gipper, in Knute Rockne, All-American!
Was that photoshopped?
^ Looks like a real still to me.
It's real, there was a brief glimpse of it in the "Next week on Arrow" trailer at the end of the last episode.
I must be going blind, then. The missing head was bad enough, but it seemed barely possible the bow and her hand covered every bit of it. But try as I can I cannot figure out where they've put the legs, not to mention the unmentionable parts.
Um, What??? Oh, you mean on the table behind her. Blurry background + lots of stuff in the way = not seeing what you think you see.
ETA: if you zoom in, you can see he still has the green leather pants on. His legs go off to the right. Her arms/hands block the view of his head.
Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity) is gonna be a regular on the show in season 2.
Great news!
Glad to hear it, I like her.
That is cool, I like her.
This raises a question I been wondering about for awhile now. Will any of the current cast, regular or recurring not return. Some of these characters have very specific storylines, which I wonder how they will be able to sustain.
When a show does surprisingly good so quickly like Arrow has, is it possible that the network throws more money at them as a reward for being awesome?
^Quite the contrary if it's AMC.

fifth amendment: an overview
The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
The clauses incorporated within the Fifth Amendment outline basic constitutional limits on police procedure. The Framers derived the Grand Juries Clause and the Due Process Clause from the Magna Carta, dating back to 1215. Scholars consider the Fifth Amendment as capable of breaking down into the following five distinct constitutional rights: grand juries for capital crimes, a prohibition on double jeopardy, a prohibition against required self-incrimination, a guarantee that all criminal defendants will have a fair trial, and a promise that the government will not seize private property without paying market value. While the Fifth Amendment originally only applied to federal courts, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Fifth Amendment's provisions as now applying to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Grand Juries
Grand juries are a holdover from hundreds of years ago, originating during Britain's early history. Deeply-rooted in the Anglo-American tradition, the grand jury originally served to protect the accused from overly-zealous prosecutions by the English monarchy.
Congressional statutes outline the means by which a grand jury shall be impaneled. Ordinarily, the grand jurors are selected from the pool of prospective jurors who potentially could serve on a given day in any juror capacity. At common-law, a grand jury consists of between 12 and 23 members. Because the Grand jury was derived from the common-law, courts use the common-law as a means of interpreting the Grand Jury Clause. While state legislatures may set the statutory number of grand jurors anywhere within the common-law requirement of 12 to 23, statutes setting the number outside of this range violate the Fifth Amendment. Federal law has set the federal grand jury number as falling between 16 and 23.
A person being charged with a crime that warrants a grand jury has the right to challenge members of the grand juror for partiality or bias, but these challenges differ from peremptory challenges, which a defendant has when choosing a trial jury. When a defendant makes a peremptory challenge, the judge must remove the juror without making any proof, but in the case of a grand juror challenge, the challenger must establish the cause of the challenge by meeting the same burden of proof as the establishment of any other fact would require. Grand juries possess broad authority to investigate suspected crimes. They may not, however, conduct "fishing expeditions" or hire individuals not already employed by the government to locate testimony or documents. Ultimately, grand juries may make a presentment. During a presentment the grand jury informs the court that they have a reasonable suspicion that the suspect committed a crime.
Double Jeopardy
The Double Jeopardy Clause aims to protect against the harassment of an individual through successive prosecutions of the same alleged act, to ensure the significance of an acquittal, and to prevent the state from putting the defendant through the emotional, psychological, physical, and financial troubles that would accompany multiple trials for the same alleged offense. Courts have interpreted the Double Jeopardy Clause as accomplishing these goals by providing the following three distinct rights: a guarantee that a defendant will not face a second prosecution after an acquittal, a guarantee that a defendant will not face a second prosecution after a conviction, and a guarantee that a defendant will not receive multiple punishments for the same offense. Courts, however, have not interpreted the Double Jeopardy Clause as either prohibiting the state from seeking review of a sentence or restricting a sentence's length on rehearing after a defendant's successful appeal.
Jeopardy refers to the danger of conviction. Thus, jeopardy does not attach unless a risk of the determination of guilt exists. If some event or circumstance prompts the trial court to declare a mistrial, jeopardy has not attached if the mistrial only results in minimal delay and the government does not receive added opportunity to strengthen its case.
The Fifth Amendment protects criminal defendants from having to testify if they may incriminate themselves through the testimony. A witness may "plead the Fifth" and not answer if the witness believes answering the question may be self-incriminatory.
In the landmark Miranda v. Arizona ruling, the United States Supreme Court extended the Fifth Amendment protections to encompass any situation outside of the courtroom that involves the curtailment of personal freedom. 384 U.S. 436 (1966). Therefore, any time that law enforcement takes a suspect into custody, law enforcement must make the suspect aware of all rights. Known as Miranda rights, these rights include the right to remain silent, the right to have an attorney present during questioning, and the right to have a government-appointed attorney if the suspect cannot afford one.
If law enforcement fails to honor these safeguards, courts will often suppress any statements by the suspect as violative of the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination, provided that the suspect has not actually waived the rights. An actual waiver occurs when a suspect has made the waiver knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. To determine if a knowing, intelligent and voluntary waiver has occurred, a court will examine the totality of the circumstances, which considers all pertinent circumstances and events. If a suspect makes a spontaneous statement while in custody prior to being made aware of the Miranda rights, law enforcement can use the statement against the suspect, provided that police interrogation did not prompt the statement.
After Congress passed the Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, some felt that the statute by implication overruled the requirements of Miranda. Some scholars also felt that Congress constitutionally exercised its power in passing this law because they felt that Miranda represented a matter of judicial policy rather than an actual manifestation of Fifth Amendment protections. In Dickerson v. United States the U.S. Supreme Court rejected this arguments and held that the Warren Court had directly derived Miranda from the Fifth Amendment.
Due Process Clause
The guarantee of due process for all citizens requires the government to respect all rights, guarantees, and protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution and all applicable statutes before the government can deprive a person of life, liberty, or property. Due process essentially guarantees that a party will receive a fundamentally fair, orderly, and just judicial proceeding. While the Fifth Amendment only applies to the federal government, the identical text in the Fourteenth Amendment explicitly applies this due process requirement to the states as well.
Courts have come to recognize that two aspects of due process exist: procedural due process and substantive due process. Procedural due process aims to ensure fundamental fairness by guaranteeing a party the right to be heard, ensuring that the parties receive proper notification throughout the litigation, and ensures that the adjudicating court has the appropriate jurisdiction to render a judgment. Meanwhile, substantive due process has developed during the 20th century as protecting those right so fundamental as to be "implicit in the concept of ordered liberty."
Just Compensation Clause
While the federal government has a constitutional right to "take" private property for public use, the Fifth Amendment's Just Compensation Clause requires the government to pay just compensation, interpreted as market value, to the owner of the property. The U.S. Supreme Court has defined fair market value as the most probable price that a willing but unpressured buyer, fully knowledgeable of both the property's good and bad attributes, would pay. The government does not have to pay a property owner's attorney's fees, however, unless a statute so provides.
In Kelo v. City of New London, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a controversial opinion in which they held that a city could constitutionally seize private property for private commercial development. 545 U.S. 469 (2005).
