CrossFit Lakewood owner Orion Tulchin is another Globo Gym refugee who at one point worked his way up to area fitness manager of a big-box chain. That path hit a dead end when he took a Level 1 Cert in January 2009, and now he's running a brand new box in Denver, Colo.
In this profile courtesy of Paula and Jordan Gravatt, Tulchin explains how he got hooked on CrossFit, how he's increasing his membership at his fledgling affiliate and what he would have done differently. Joking, Tulchin says he might have stolen more clients from Globo Gym, but given his passion for training, they'll find their way to CrossFit Lakewood soon enough.

this, his last serious work in the genre -- again produced under the auspices of William Alland -- finds him working with somewhat lesser-than-usual means for Paramount. Though his fans tend not to be very kind to it, Arnold felt THE SPACE CHILDREN was his best attempt at science fiction and, in retrospect, it stands out as perhaps the most forward-looking and politically-conscious of his films. In a story co-written by Tom Filer (who scripted the thematically similar BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES) and Bernard Schoenfeld (Robert Siodmak's noir classic PHANTOM LADY), six children from a coastline trailer park catering to the families of rocket engineers and scientists discover an alien life form on the beach that compels them to sabotage the top-secret mission code-named "the Eagle Point Project" -- the imminent launching of a six-stage defensive missile known as The Thunderer.
The pacifist premise is related in some ways to Robert Wise's THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, but everything else about the film looks ahead -- to the John Wyndham-based VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED and its sequel, and to Hammer's unrelated THESE ARE THE DAMNED, but also in a strange way to Barry Shear's WILD IN THE STREETS and, in the film's use of beachfront moonscapes and a pending sense of doom beyond the comprehension of the young, to Joe Dante's MATINEE, as well. Arnold's direction is perfectly assured and marries well to Nathan Van Cleave's eerie score, and the children include such familiar kid faces of the day as the Ida Lupino-eyed Michel Ray (THE BRAVE ONE), Johnny Crawford (THE RIFLEMAN) and Sandy Descher (the little girl who screamed "THEM!"), while the oldest and least experienced of these young actors, Johnny Washbrook, looks like the go-to fellow if you wanted to cast Marshall Thompson as a 14 year old. The adult cast, appropriately deemphasized for the most part, includes Adam Williams, Peggy Webber, Jackie Coogan, Raymond Bailey, Ty Hardin, Peter Baldwin, James Douglas and a stand-out role for Arnold favorite Russell Johnson, who in relatively little screen time etches a memorable character: an out-of-work trailer dad who has turned to alcohol and domestic tyranny to assert his faltering manhood.

Alma Awards: A Touch of Music, Politics and Olympic Gold
The NCLR Alma Awards were filled with humor, fashion and many hip-shaking moves.
Comedian George Lopez displayed his comedic edge Sunday night as he co-hosted the show with Eva Longoria.
The show, which honors Latinos in TV, film, music and sports, was taped at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday and will air on Friday, September on NBC.
Lopez poked fun at Olympic Gold medalist Ryan Lochte, who was honored along with five other 2012 Latino Olympians.
"Your mom is Cuban? Now the swimming makes sense," Lopez joked. He also poked fun at actor Cheech Marin who received an Outstanding Career Achievement Award, claiming the actor was going to turn his award into a bong.
The Alma Awards has been organized by the National Council of La Raza since 1995, and strives to promote the positive portrayals of Latinos in the entertainment industry.
During the show, rap sensation Flo Rida got the audience dancing with his hit song "Whistle."
The Miami native also performed a duet with actress Roselyn Sánchez, who showed off her toned legs in a short silver dress. Other musical performances included a duet with Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi and country singer Martina McBride.
Longoria, who is also a producer of the show, kept the audience on their toes as she dazzled in multiple outfit changes throughout the ceremony.
During the frenzy on the red carpet, Longoria told Fox News Latino she enjoyed juggling multiple duties.
"As a producer it's a lot of work," Longoria said. "It's not only being the host, but booking the show [and] producing the show," she said adding that at the end of the day she "loves it."
Christina Aguilera proudly showed off her curves in a tight black dress, as she was honored with a Special Achievement Award for her career and philanthropic work.
"It means so much to be here, in this situation like this today, where I'm being honored for my humanitarian efforts, and using my voice in that way for good," said the singer.
Glee Alum Naya Rivera took home two awards, one for favorite TV actress-comedy and a second for favorite female music artist.
The young performer recently signed with Elton John's music management company and told the press backstage that she is currently working on a new album.
Mexican actor Diego Boneta won the ALMA Award for favorite movie actor for his work in "Rock of Ages."
"I want to thank all the Latinos who come to this country to seek dreams, this is for you guys, you're my inspiration," Boneta told reporters after the ceremony.
After five nominations, Constance Marie received her first ALMA Award in the favorite TV actress in a supporting role category for her work in "Switched at Birth."
"I was becoming the Susan Lucci of the Almas!" Marie quipped.
Other winners included Rico Rodríguez, who won favorite TV actor in a supporting role for his role in "Modern Family," and Cierra Ramírez, who took home an award for best supporting actress for her role in "Girl in Progress."
Being that it's an election year, the ALMA Awards also took on a political tone.
Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney had special taped messages congratulating the nominees. Another segment during the show also highlighted the importance of the Latino vote.
Zoe Saldana, who won the favorite actress drama/adventure award for her work in "Colombiana," got emotional on stage, tearing up as she thanked her family for their continued support and Director Luc Besson for "creating roles actors can sink their teeth into."
The tone went from the political to the emotional. There was a heartfelt tribute to the late legendary actress Lupe Ontiveros, who died of liver cancer. Ontiveros played Eva Longoria's suspicious mother-in-law in the ABC series "Desperate Housewives" but also had memorable roles in movies such as "Selena" and "As Good as it Gets."

Here at IGN, we get lots of email from readers, and we work hard to delete it all. But due to the recent installation of advanced mail deletion countermeasures by our corporate overlords, some of your correspondence has actually managed to creep into our inboxes. Huzzah!
Rather than insult you by answering them all individually, we decided to revive an age-old IGN tradition: the Mailbag. Each week, our editors will cherry-pick the most scintillating questions from the past few days and answer them in this space. Then, they will take the rest of the day off, content in the afterglow of a job well done.
If you have a question or comment for the IGN editors, just click the appropriate channel name in the image below and fill out the email form. And remember to check out our gaming news show, The Daily Fix, for up-to-date info about the fabulous world of jumping around and shooting things.

Sound Advice
Last weekend I wrote a Left4Dead 2 review as a way to test the waters of Game Review. I love playing games and among my friends I am bit of a source of knowledge on PC games. Then I found your review and realized how much more practice I need. I was just wondering you have any advice for a high school senior interested in becoming a game critic. Thanks for your time, - Shawn
Thanks for your time,
- Shawn
Hey Shawn,
There are plenty of approaches to game reviewing, but there are a few principles to get you started.
Would this man lie to you?
1. Be conversational. Don't write over the heads of your readers and don't use a big word or fancy phrase just to show off how well you write. Have a specific reader in mind -- a good friend, a family member, etc. -- and write to them just like you would speak to them.
2. Get focused. Pick the three things you like the most about the game and the three things you like least about the game. Make your review about those things.
3. Support your opinion with examples. The main point of the review should be to get your opinion across but it needs to be supported with specific examples of why you feel that way. On that same topic, avoid summary and get your opinion out there right away. Readers should know whether you like a game within the first few paragraphs.
4. Write, write, write. Like you said, nothing takes the place of practice. Also, let other people give feedback on your writing.
If you're serious about becoming a game reviewer, realize that playing games is only about 25% of the job. The rest is developing your opinions, being a good communicator, and having the social skills required to cooperate with other folks in the industry. If you plan on going to college, see if you can focus on classes that emphasize critical thinking and lots of writing.

Here Be Dragons!
I really enjoyed your discourse on the game balancing in LFD2. I was wondering if you had addressed a similar issue I found in Dragon Age? I heard that other people had to lower the difficulty in order to play through the game. With an RPG, should it be possible to play through just the main quest and finish the game on one difficulty, or do you believe that getting your character to a particular level, through running side-quests, should be required? If so, doesn't this mean that the extra side-quests should be intergrated into the main quest? Dragon Age is a particular problem since the final boss stage is really long (about an hour?), then you have to fight it. Its just not easy to discover the most ideal group and tactics settings for a particular battle. Maybe an XP check prior to going into battle would be better? - Jim

- Jim
Tis an age of dragons!Jim, I've played through Dragon Age a number of times and spoken to a lot of other players that have since beaten the game multiple times as well. Neither I nor they had to lower the difficulty at all to complete the game (particularly the PC version, which is a tougher game than the console versions). While you're not required to play through side-quests (the definition of a side quest provides you with the flexibility to pursue it or abandon it at your discretion), completing them will only make your characters stronger and more capable of fending off the hordes of Darkspawn, groups of ogres and other monsters that you'll face.
You also mentioned that it's not easy to determine an ideal group or tactics for particular battles, but I disagree, because you wind up going through this exact situation throughout the game, deciding which characters and their skills appeal to you or your style of play. Once you get to the end of the game, you should know exactly which characters you want to engage in that final battle, what their skills are, and what tactics you want to use. Plus, the final "boss stage" isn't nearly that complicated – you can run through the last areas, focusing only on defeating enemies in front of you and get right to the Archdemon in easily half that time (if not faster) and depending on what kind of character you use, your time fighting the beast will vary. My mage, for example, crushed the Archdemon in half the time that my warrior did. Just work on your RPG skills and you'll be fine.

Troubleshooting 101: If [Xbox 360] Then [Broken]
My son has a Xbox 360, and when he puts a disc in the drive a few seconds later it displays open tray. Is there something I can check myself or show we send it in? Need to know because warranty expires next week. - Garland
- Garland
Well Garland, my advice would be to call up the Xbox 360 help line (1 (800) 4MY-XBOX) and see if you can get that taken care of. Personally I have not run into that issue with any Xbox consoles I've used. However, before you do call, you might want to check that the disc tray is able to fully close. If there's something in the way (a bit of string, gum, a peppered tenderloin steak) or if the tray is just wobbly, then you might be able to find a way to get it to stay shut. Chances are that it's broken, unfortunately, since the Xbox 360 disc tray is about as stable as a dandelion.
What's more troubling to me is that even a Final Fantasy endboss can't figure out how to troubleshoot his Xbox 360. I assume you're looking forward to the North American release of XIII? Or are you just going to import from Japan? And since I'm sure you keep up on everything Square Enix, we can agree The Last Remnant was kind of crappy, yes?

Have You Tried Sticking the Thermometer Anywhere?
Who ever made this guide did a bad job. I was trying to follow the inter findings and it totally suck ass. Wow good explanation. Said to go near the fench [sic] to the left near a corpse. Come on the corpse were made like every time a jetski crashed. And said the laptop can be found where the thermometer was pointing. Stupid cause the thermometer constantly changes when you move. I'm really angry at this stupid editor's explanation and I think he should be fired. [Editor's note: This email was originally written in all caps. You're welcome.] - F.U.
I'm sorry the guide didn't help you out. I have to say, though, that part of your problem is that you're attempting to use a thermometer to find your way around. Thermometers tell you what the temperature is. You may have more luck with a compass.

We Also Tie Onions to Our Belts
I'm so happy that there are people besides my brother and I who appreciate the truly great games. We found [IGN'sTop 25 PC Games of All Time] by debating whether X-com or Tie Fighter would be the top rated game. I won. Notice the vast majority of these games are dated. Gone are the days of making a great game and splurging a bit on the budget. Bring back some live action like in some of the Mech Warriors! Bring back Red Baron 3d (which probably could have made the list)! Now, write an article about it! - Kris

- Kris
Glad you and your brother liked the list. Of course, we get just as many angry emails about the obvious omissions. (For the record, yes, Tribes should be on the list, along with about thirty other equally worthy games.)
Ye olde PC gayme.
To your point about the date of these games, the PC has such a long history that it's inevitable that we'd want to reach back to some of the classics. There are, of course, plenty of great recent games on the list, but it's harder sometimes to make a case for games that haven't yet had a few years to really settle into your memory.
I think our list definitely proves that you used to be able to make a great game with a small team and a modest budget but those days are gone. The problem is that good games create an appetitive for even better games, which require larger teams and more expensive technology, which require larger budgets, which naturally lead to greater corporate oversight and accountability. Throw in the appeal of cross-platform profits, DLC, subscriptions and then add in the fact that you have dozens of big companies all competing for retail space and market visibility, and you begin to realize that game design has been moved a bit further down the list of priorities.

Keeping the Modern in Modern Warfare
I was reading your Top 25 Xbox 360 Games List and couldn't help to notice that Call of Duty 4 is much higher in the list than MW2. I couldn't help myself to read my review and wonder, how in the hell do you say that MW2's campaign was not up to the "Call of Duty Standard," and there were no "wow" moments. Missions like "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday", "Second Sun" and "The Gulag" provided many extremely wow moments. I'll admit that though the campaign is short it is the best of the series and one of the best campaigns in the genre. If anything was wrong with the game it was the lack of fun and original missions in Special Ops. Now I'm not one to say you are bad at reviewing games, but how did IGN give Grand Theft Auto IV when it had so many obvious graphical glitches, the story was amazing, but graphics you managed to give a 10 out of 10 as well. How the hell do things like that work out? - Ryan

How the hell do things like that work out?
- Ryan
Hi there Ryan. I'm not sure which article you're referring to (the Top 25 text blurbs, Mark Bozon's review, or the "my review" you reference) but I will say I agree with you in that there are plenty of "wow" moments in the game. In fact, the single-player campaign is basically "wow" moments the whole way through. From what I've heard around the office, many people weren't put off by the lack of explosive set-pieces, but rather by the fractured and erratic storytelling method that often left players, myself included, questioning what exactly was going on with the plot and characters.
Wow moment? Not really.Personally, I felt the Modern Warfare 2 campaign fell short of Call of Duty 4 simply because it lacked the kind of visceral surprise and vulnerability in scenes like the helicopter crash scene, the sniper mission, and CoD 4's ending. Instead of introducing new kinds of moments like this in Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward just piled more in there to the point of total absurdity. It lost all semblance of authenticity in that respect, which based on the other events in the game (the snowmobile chase, the boat section, and the airport massacre) I don't think Infinity Ward was really too concerned about maintaining. As a ludicrous, over-the-top action thriller Modern Warfare 2 succeeded, but it lost some of the heart and grit of its immediate predecessor.
What's stands out about your email is that you make fun of the Special Ops mode, which is the first time I've heard anyone do so. Most who've played it claim it's the best part of the game by far, though I'd argue the multiplayer is still the best component. As for differences between reviews, all I can say is that different people think different things. As much as we'd all like the review process to be some sort of purely objective exercise in judgment, it's not and never will be. Like with reviews from any other industries, it's all subjective. Truly there is no actual way to remain objective when you go to say something, since your word choice, emphasis, and phrasing all contribute to a perspective that is yours and yours alone. Unless, that is, all you're writing is 2 + 2 = 4, but then you're just stating the obvious, and that's boring.

Specialized Bikes 2018
Turbo Vado 2018
S Works Diverge
While the fun may begin where the road ends, you still need a bike that'll get you there—one bike that shreds singletrack and crushes through road miles with equal expertise. Sure, some have tried to make their 'cross bikes more "road-capable" (whatever that means), and others have made their road bikes more "adventure-ready," but we created one bike that makes no compromises between the two. The S-Works Diverge redefines the possibilities for adventure on a drop-bar-bike.
Check out the full specification here;
Diverge Comp carbon
The Diverge Comp has been designed from the bottom-up to be a fully-fledged exploration machine. But now, it's also equally adept at crushing dirt climbs as it is to cruising to the coffee shop or hopping into a local group ride. And while it might sound cliché in a landscape of bike claims chocked full with hyperbole, the Diverge Comp truly is one bike that does it all.

Last proper seminar of the first year on Friday morning; then Dad arrived and I loaded up far too much computer hardware and not nearly enough clothing into the new car (same basic model as the one we totalled in Wales), and he dropped me and my laptop and pyjamas off in Oxford on his way home for a weekend of orchestral things. It had been far too long since I'd seen Eli, and about the right amount of time since I'd seen Oxford. It's a wonderful place to have a wander, even with tiny pavements and far too many people about.
Tom arrived on Saturday and we had milkshakes that were basically cakes you should drink through a straw, then the literary festival! We got directed by an extremely drunk-seeming Christchurch porter through an absolute maze of white marquee passages, and eventually (a bit too late to sit in the front row; likely a good thing as they'd have probably found my grin deeply unnerving) came across the correct lecture theatre. The Talented Mr Reeve and The Talented Geraldine McCaughrean (whose books I haven't read but really must, though there's an intimidating number of them!) then read extracts from The Death-Defying Pepper Roux and A Web of Air, and interesting stuff happened.
There was as usual (he says, with the exaggerated weariness of someone who's seen, what, half a dozen of these things at most?) an interviewer/prompter chap with a checklist of topics to raise and a worryingly keen smile. I find these people quite annoying, but I guess not everyone can be as amazingly self-possessed as Eoin Colfer (who was apparently a stand up comedian in a previous life); brilliant authors seem to tend to be modest types who aren't really ones to stand up and just talk about themselves. The fellow admittedly wasn't bad; a bit overenthusiastic, but he is a children's librarian and his job is to get the youth of today excited about books. His patter is, while hardly persuasive for jaded and mercurial students like me, likely rather better for folks in their early teens (though as I recall I was a right cynical little bastard at that sort of age and wouldn't have been swayed by it then either). But he drew out lots of interesting points and funny anecdotes, and Reeve and McCaughrean played off each other very well (apparently being a longstanding Double Feature in the world of classy children's literature), and it was all very "good talk a++ would oxford again". Bought copies (at full absurd high street price for a hardback – yipes, internet has spoiled me – but worth it) of A Web of Air for people and generally basked in authorial wit and cleverness. Carnegie winners (in my limited experience; met 3 so far) are really rather amazing people. Wondering if in emergencies they can pull out their Carnegie medals and combine their power to form a giant robot powered by words.
Tom, Eli and I loitered after the book signing, and on the way out, with the CILIP Rangers and some of Geraldine's own groupies, we all got slightly lost in the maze of Christchurch and nattered:
Philip: Well, I grew up reading [Geraldine's] books, I thought she was wonderful long before I was published…
Geraldine: Oh, get away with you, embarrassment, etc.
Me: Well, I grew up reading his books, so if you want the same embarrassment visited upon him…
Geraldine: Hm, so I'm sort of your literary grandmother?
Then we went to a coffee shop and had tea and small pastry things that Philip bought us, and Tom and I showed off sketches of rifles/Stalker armour/land ironclads and wondered about making a Green Storm propaganda film as a summer project; then Tom and Eli disappeared to buy ingredients for the Lasagne of Eternity.
The Talented Mr Reeve and I wandered round Oxford looking for a food place and found an Italian restaurant (my first restauranty meal in… er… I don't even remember) and talked about books and films and his soon-to-be-published stories and my never-going-to-be-finished stories and the internet and Early Modern Europe and the future of TV and the disenfranchised youth of today. I think I managed to avoid being too enthusiastically groupie-weird (though describing 4chan and having my phone shout "MAGGOTS!" may not have helped…). I won't flatter myself (this time) by saying he's how I see myself in twentysomething years, (well, if family genes have anything to do with it, I'm guaranteed to be rather tubbier and much balder at least…) but he's absolutely what I hope to be like. Though I should really start coming up with an actual plan for Life sometime soon.
Then I stomped back to Chez Eli and we spent the rest of the weekend eating The Lasagne of Eternity, watching Moon, Babel, The Pacific and Generation Kill, reading 4chan and fighter-pilot anecdotes and godawful purple prose off the internet, and on Sunday afternoon Tom and I paid our respects, hopped aboard coach and train respectively, and rolled home.

Malawian High Commissioner Kena Mphonda was in Broomhill yesterday to celebrate Malawi's Kilombero rice being stocked at Co-op stores.
The Co-op is the first Scotland-wide retailer to stock the rice which is ethically sourced by Paisley based Just Trading Scotland (JTS) and benefits the lives of smallholders in Malawi.
The High Commissioner was welcomed by the Co-op's Managing Director for the North, John McNeill.
Children from Our Lady of the Mission primary school in Giffnock also came along.
Alasdair Fowle, Divisional Marketing Manager for the North, said: "We are delighted to be listing the Kilombero rice in 79 of our stores across Scotland and hope to extend this to additional stores in Scotland and the remainder of the UK later in the year.
"Our customers enjoy the high quality products we offer, safe in the knowledge that we are committed to ethical sourcing and this product is another demonstration of how important it is to our brand."
John Riches, chairman at Just Trading Scotland, said: "This is an exciting day for JTS – we are delighted to be working with the Co-op.
"Kilombero offers consumers a whole new way of buying and eating rice and we are confident Co-op shoppers will be pleased."

Back to square one for LSU, and in this case that's not a bad thing at all. In fact, for a Tigers team that seemed down and out after the first few weeks of the SEC season, back even is an awfully nice place to be.
Hot shooting - especially from Charles Carmouche - and the most balanced offensive performance of the season gave LSU a perfect platform Saturday in an 80-68 romp past Mississippi State at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
The victory lifts the Tigers (15-8 overall) to 6-6 in the SEC standings after an 0-4 beginning they left them languishing in the conference cellar after two weeks of play.
That's a distant memory now, as LSU has won six of its last eight games, with the two losses by eight points total on the road at Kentucky and Alabama.
"We had a chance if we wanted to, starting out 0-4, to hit a panic button, but we never did that," Tigers Coach Johnny Jones said. "What was important to us was our next practice and our next game in terms of improving. I think the guys have done both, improved in practice and been able to transfer their practices into the games."
Carmouche paced LSU with a season-high 21 points, 15 in the second half when he pumped in the first five 3-point attempts he fired up. Johnny O'Bryant notched another double-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds - his SEC-best 11th of the season - but his most impressive statistic of the day typified what kind of performance it was for the Tigers.
With the Bulldogs (7-17, 2-11) intent on sagging inside on O'Bryant after he produced eight points in the first 9:44 of the game, he didn't hesitate to kick the ball back out to guards on the perimeter. Taking only two floor shots after halftime, O'Bryant finished with a career-best eight assists, mostly feeding guards for open looks from 3-point range.
That was part of LSU's 24 assists on 30 made buckets, with Anthony Hickey adding six and Malik Morgan five.
The other side of the equation was a deadly shooting performance by the Tigers. They knocked down 54.5 percent overall (30 of 55) and from 3-point range (12 of 22). LSU's four primary guards combined to drain 17-of-33 shots with Carmouche (8-of-11) leading the way. Center Andrew Del Piero was 5-of-6 on his way to a career-best 13 points.
"I think they're making good decisions," Jones said of the Tigers' team work. "When you look at just Johnny's stat line, he had 10 (points) and 11 (rebounds). I think we get excited because was saw him get 30 (points) the other night at South Carolina, but this is a great stat line for him when he's got 10 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists and only two turnovers. That means he made great decisions. I thought (Mississippi State) did a great job later in trying to send two people at him. He didn't force the action. He wound up going 5-of-7 from the field. That's a tremendous percentage for him.
"When you look at the balance of our other guys, meaning when they made extra passes guys did an excellent job of executing in terms of making those baskets when the opportunity presented itself."
Those opportunities were abundant all day long, as LSU jumped in front quickly and never let the Bulldogs get the lead.State continued to play hard, though, and didn't fold quickly. The Bulldogs tied the score once at 23-23 on Gavin Ware's inside hoop, but he missed a free throw that could've put them in front. They hung around and trailed only 29-26 when Craig Sword hit a foul shot with 4:31 to go in the first half, 2 of his game-high 25 points.
Before things got any tighter, the Tigers unleashed a 12-2 blitz to end the opening period, sparked by Malik Morgan's two assists, a steal and defensive rebound.
Morgan finished with five points, five assists and seven rebounds and his flurry was a snapshot of the day for LSU. If it wasn't Morgan, it was Shavon Coleman with five points in a row later, or Del Piero getting free in the lane for back-to-back hoops, etc.
As has been the case during the Tigers' resurgence, it's not about one player always carrying the team, but the sum of the parts.
"I think it's just a part of the growth," Jones said. "I thought we played some really tight games early on and played extremely hard. We weren't able to finish in some of them. The guys have done a tremendous job of continuing to grow as a team and as individuals as well. It's just a part of connecting and the chemistry with the team that has allowed us to go on a little run like this."
It also helps explain why LSU has learned to withstand whatever response the opponent comes up with.
That was the case when the Bulldogs came out hot to start the second half and scored seven points on their first three possessions to slice the deficit under double digits, but only briefly. Del Piero converted back-to-back from the paint to settle the Tigers down, and after that they started bombing way from outside the arc.
Hickey and Carmouche connected back-to-back on assists from O'Bryant to bump the lead to 53-37 at the 15:56 juncture and force a State timeout.
Carmouche found a home in the right corner and jacked in another trey after the break to cap a 15-5 eruption that put the game on the verge of a blowout, 56-38.
The Tigers' defense also played a role, holding the Bulldogs without a field goal for 6:56, a span that included eight straight misses after the quick start out of halftime.
State finally ended the drought on Colin Borchert's driving bank shot, that started a Bulldogs lunge that shrunk the deficit to 62-49 with 81/2 minutes left.
As he did most of the second half, Carmouche redirected momentum when by cranking in consecutive 3s, again from the right corner, for a 68-49 cushion.
"Our offense is designed for me to be (in the corner)," Carmouche said. "When (Mississippi State) went into their 1-3-1 half court zone trap, they trap high, and we get the ball in the middle when Anthony or Andre (Stringer) attacks and they find me in the corner. I just let it go."
Strangely, Carmouche said he didn't feel great during pre-game work, saying he was stiff. He also noted that his first shot after he entered the game was a 3-point airball. His final was also a clunker, caroming off the side of the backboard.
In between those misses, though, Carmouche shot the ball as well as he has all season, and he knew exactly where the credit was due.
"My big guy was finding us and we were able to knock down shots," he said with a nod toward O'Bryant. "Johnny draws a lot of attention (from the) defense, and when they doubled in on him, he was able to find us."
Sword paced Mississippi State with 25 points, and the Bulldogs actually executed reasonably well - especially in the second half when the shot 53.8 percent (14 of 26).
State lost only nine turnovers and had seven blocked shots, but lost the battle on the glass, 36-24, and had no answer for the pass-happy Tigers in a 10th straight SEC loss - the Bulldogs' longest skid since 1987.
"We have some situations with loose balls and rebounds and things like that that were tipped and (LSU) always ended up getting the loose balls," beleaguered State Coach Rick Ray said. "I just didn't think we fought enough for those loose balls and rebounds and giving ourselves more possessions."
The final leg of the Tigers' three games in six days arrives Tuesday when they play Tennessee at 6 p.m. at Thompson-Boling Arena (ESPNU). The Volunteers (14-10) also climbed to even in the SEC on Saturday by steamrolling Kentucky 88-58, Tennessee's largest margin of victory ever against the Wildcats.

About Shi Yong
Much of Shi Yong's practice centers on the composite image of an idealized Shanghai resident he conjured with the help of internet users who voted on the perfect look. The resulting image has featured in several photography-based and mixed-media works, exploring notions of consumerism and commoditization and their acceleration in modern China. For his well-known piece Made in China - Welcome to China (1999), Shi painted the image of the ideal Shanghaier on to plaster models of a businessman donning a Mao suit and waving, briefcase in hand. "In Shanghai, the addiction to changing the city's superficial image at the supersonic speed is beyond imagination for non-local people," Shi explains.

I have been using the phone for two years+ and I love it. Some functions are not as good as other phones but the design is really great. Not for people with big fingers or bad eyes though. It doesn't have much memory, just to let you know. For a very average user like me, I could only store up to like 30 songs.
I bought this phone 3 day b4 Christmas 2006 abd within 8 months the buttons don't work and the camera will not work. My buttons only work if the slide is down so i cannot use the camera or video. If you're gonna buy make sure you have warranty!!!!!
ii have this phOne && it`s awesOmee,,
but the Only thing wrOng with it is that the screen is TINYYY as!
Other than that..
sa`ll gOod [=
if Only they sold pink Ones of this phOne.

Well I have had no trouble with mine for a full 6 months, so go for it! :D
hi, i read that the camera just stops working???? Is this a good fone...I'm thinking of buying it...thanks!!
does this fone need a disc driver to connect it with the computer..when u guys bought it did it cum with a disk? and did u need it?
ok, people, plz plz plz read the previous posts, they will help you find the answer to the most common questions
and plz plz learn to type, it isnt helpful to other people if you are making really bad typo errors
ok, now on to the details (recapped)
-mp3's can be set as ringtones but not as message alert tones
-do not use the programs that are installed from the disk to transfer music to the phone, connect the phone to the computer with the usb cord given, then just goto "my computer" and open up the phone's folder, then open up the music folder, then drag and drop the mp3 file from your desktop into the phone's music folder (this can also be done for other files and vice versa meaning, you can drag and drop or just copy images/videos taken with phone to your computer)
-the screen size is roughly 2cm x 2.5cm, but trust me, if you have good vision, u will be able to see everything displayed on the phone very well
-to set a contact's picture, the pictures have to be taken with the phone's camera in the 48x48 pixel mode
-to get to the options of the camera, first be in camera usage mode, and then push the left select button
-for those of you asking if this is a girl or boy phone, ask this first, is the Motorola RAZR a girl or boy phone? just buy it in the color you want and stop being so paranoid about it
-you can charge the phone while it is on, you do not have to turn it off first, and it should charge in about 2 hours time
i think that is all for now, i cant seem to remember any other issues
note* i have had this phone for about a month or two, i also have a problem with the mic on the phone but i think it gets better just over time, the slider works well, it is smooth yet firm, battery life will drain out really quick if you use the mp3 player option alot
overall i am very satisfied with this phone as it is cheap for all the options that come with it
can zoom in on photos if its in the top resolution setting: the lower the resolution the more zoom you get..
Never droppes this phone and the camera and screen has gone. Do not buy this phone!!!
Hey Ppl..

Girl dies after E.coli infection
An eight-year-old girl has died after contracting an E.coli infection.
NHS Ayrshire and Arran said the child was from East Ayrshire but was being treated in the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow after contracting the E.coli O157 strain.
The health board said it has not identified the source of the infection but it does not believe the case is part of an outbreak.
Dr Jane Cooper, consultant in public health medicine, said: "Our thoughts are with the family during this very difficult time. Sometimes it is possible to identify a particular source of E.coli O157 infection. An outbreak may occur if a number of people are exposed to the same source.
"NHS Ayrshire & Arran is satisfied that this case is not part of an outbreak, and has not identified a particular source which might represent a risk to others.
"E.coli O157 infection is very easily picked up and sometimes investigations cannot identify either a particular source, or any way in which the risk of infection could have been avoided."
Symptoms normally develop after ingesting contaminated foods or liquids or having been in contact with infected animals. Infected cases often develop a fever leading to sickness and diarrhoea.
The health board has issued precautions which can be taken to reduce the risk of infection, including washing hands after contact with possible sources such as raw food and milk and animal faeces.

The ROCK 'N RAIL Snowboard battle went down at ISPO on Sunday, January 29th with some of the world's talented jibbers throwing down on the outdoor setup.
IOU Snow created a big ol' staiset between ISPO's halls where 40 international riders like Frank April, Kalle Ohlson, Daniel Rajcsanyi, Michi Schatz, Jesse de Augustinus and many more threw down their best tricks to try to bag the cash.
With hotdogs keeping the crowd warm in the frigid conditions, the guys put on a proper good display of the current state of jibbing, and when all was said and done it was Austrian rookie Clemens Schattschneider who came out on top of the pile, followed by Dominik Wagner and Moritz Neuhäusler. Here's the official word.

On a "riders judge riders" formate the qualification runs started at 12am as jamsessions of 6 riders each, going down all day long, until the last 12 riders to hit the final and battle each other for fame, honour and the prize money were determined.

International Research & Partnerships
In recent years, GSSW faculty members have forged international research and academic partnerships in Australia, Bosnia, Botswana, Canada, China, Ghana, Ireland, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Senegal, Switzerland,Taiwan and Thailand. Find additional information about their work on their individual faculty pages and in GSSW Magazine.
In 2008, GSSW entered into a research partnership with the United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD), based in Nagoya, Japan, with a regional office in Nairobi, Kenya. Subsequent endeavors have included a collaborative research and training project on conflict, human security and sustainable livelihoods in Northern Kenya. The University of Nairobi provided field research for the project, and GSSW Dean James Herbert Williams served as Principal Investigator.
Their research findings are the subject of Conflict and Human Security in Africa: Kenya in Perspective , a book published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2011.
A second collaborative research project is currently underway in Botswana, again with Dean Williams as the P.I. The international research team also includes the University of Botswana and co-P.I. Dr. Asfaw Kumssa, Coordinator of the UNCRD Africa Office.
In 2012, GSSW established a collaborative agreement with the Global Risk Forum in Davos, Switzerland (GRF Davos). The partnership is aimed at strengthening sustainable development, as well as social and ecological resilience, thereby enhancing health and health security for humans, animals and ecosystems.
The University of Denver's Office of Internationalization provides grant funding to enhance faculty members' international experience and knowledge so they can implement international components into courses, forge research connections with scholars and professionals from other countries and facilitate internationalization of DU's curriculum or campus.
In recent years, GSSW faculty members have used internationalization grants for projects that include the following:
- developing curriculum content for the new MSW concentration, "Sustainable Development and Global Practice"
- developing a model for ethical decision-making for faculty engaged in international experiences with students
- comparing and contrasting the Four Corners MSW program's Native Peoples program and curriculum with that of Australian Catholic University Centre for Indigenous Education and Research in Brisbane , Australia
- developing international social work content for Four Corners MSW students

Life's like a road that you travel on
There's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
~ Tom Cochrane
I love to watch animated films with my nine-year old; feels refreshing… The other day, I was watching Disney Pixar movie "Cars" in which I was fascinated by a scene, where Sally and Lightning McQueen are overlooking Route 66 and Interstate 40. Here's what they say:
Sally: Forty years ago, that interstate down there didn't exist.
Lightning McQueen: Really?
Sally: Yeah. Back then, cars came across the country a whole different way.
Lightning McQueen: How do you mean?
Sally: Well, the road didn't cut through the land like that interstate. It moved with the land, it rose, it fell, it curved. Cars didn't drive on it to make great time. They drove on it to have a great time.
Their dialogues pretty much sum up our frenetic and fast paced lives and the world where we live in. We are the cars. Our lives are the roads. We can choose to take the interstate and set our lives on cruise control.
So, we are all on the highway of life – traveling at what seems like the speed of light – moving at hyper-speed and checking off our to-do list as if that is the ultimate goal in life. Although it is cliché, we fail to stop and smell the air or say a genuine 'hello' to the passer byes.
However, we are at the risk of missing so much that pass by us by because we travel so fast with our blinders on. We are more concerned with where we are going instead of appreciating and enjoying where we are.
There is but an alternative. We can choose to meander and explore. We can choose to take the winding and curving road and truly experience life. It may not take us directly to our destination, but perhaps we shouldn't be as concerned with crossing the finish line so quickly. Isn't it really the happenings along our route that make reaching our goal so much more gratifying?
I suggest we take our individual journey down a unique path – Some of us on highways while others on the back-country roads. Sometimes our paths run parallel to one another and sometimes our path intersects with that of others. We are in control of the accelerator pedal beneath our feet. We can choose to fly through life and pass by others on the interstate. Or, we can choose to take the scenic route, slow down to the speed of life, and share our road with others. We can choose to take the occasional pit stop and learn about all the other roads available to us on the map of life.
Let's not fail to understand, life is a journey, not a destination. Slow down, check your road map, and get off the next exit. There is a winding road ahead that is ready to greet you with new experiences. Make your journey as memorable as possible.

The United Nations summit meeting has ended. On the whole, the outcome of the deliberations of nearly 170 world leaders was disappointing. Secretary General Kofi Annan commented, "Obviously, we didn't get everything we wanted." In particular, he called the absence of any commitments on nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament issues a disgrace. In his own March report laying out the summit agenda, Mr. Annan had written, The progress in both disarmament and nonproliferation is essential.
After the failure of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review in May, the lack of commitment of the nuclear weapon states, and particularly the United States, to reduce their arsenals was a further, perhaps lethal, blow to the nonproliferation effort. The N.P.T., as Robert F. Drinan, S.J., pointed out in these pages (9/12), is a grand bargain in which non-nuclear states agreed not to develop nuclear weapons in return for gradual disarmament by the nuclear powers. How can non-nuclear states, like Iran, be expected to refrain from developing nuclear weapons when the nuclear weapons states renege on their commitments to disarm? This is especially the case when the Pentagon is floating a new plan to employ nuclear weapons to deter and pre-emptively destroy non-nuclear threats.
The summit's failure to reach an agreement on curbing the small arms trade is equally deplorable. It is beyond comprehension how the United States could conspire with third world thugs to sustain a business that results in thousands of deaths in poor countries every year, many times the number killed in terrorist attacks. There was agreement, however, on a definition of terrorism, though exclusively of non-state terror, on the duty to protect innocents from genocide and mass violations of human rights, and on peacekeeping in post-conflict situations. All are important objectives, but the mechanisms for achieving them are still to be worked out.
From the beginning, based on the understanding that lowering the risk of armed conflict and terrorism involves combating poverty as a breeding ground of violence, the summit hoped to achieve a symmetry between issues of concern to the North, like terrorism, and those, like development assistance, of concern to the South. The millennium development goals call for halving world poverty by 2015. At a meeting of world leaders in Monterrey, Mexico, three years ago, Britain, France and Germany pledged themselves to allocate .07 percent of their gross national product to official development assistance by 2015. The United States also signed the so-called Monterrey consensus, but as of now this country allocates a far smaller amount, only .018 percent to foreign aid. Just as, in the past, U.S. leadership had a multiplier effect in stimulating development assistance from other countries, the weakness of its current commitment threatens to undercut the millennial antipoverty campaign. Traditionally generous donors, like the Scandinavians, are reported already to be expressing doubts about living up to their commitments.
Attaining the related millennial goals of halving global hunger and child mortality is also threatened. Hunger tragically contributes to child and maternal mortality, which together take the lives of hundreds of thousands every year. Mass starvation haunts sub-Saharan Africa, most notably Niger. Malaria takes a particularly deadly toll of small children across the region, and yet inexpensive bed nets and subsidies for new medications could save many young lives.
President Bush's re-insertion of the term millennium development goals into his Sept. 14 speech to the General Assembly and his stated commitment to working toward those eight targets were positive developments, especially after Ambassador John Bolton tried to strike reference to the M.D.G.'s from the summit document. Of greater practical importance was the president's affirmation that the United States is ready to eliminate all tariffs, subsidies and other barriers to free flow of goodsa key to overcoming poverty through self-sustaining trade. On the development front, the president has from time to time shown imagination and political courage (e.g., with respect to the Millennial Challenge Account and the African AIDS initiative), but the results to date have been meager. The test is whether he can persuade Congress to accept his commitments and the bureaucracy to implement them. As conflicted as the world is about U.S. foreign policy, it is painfully clear that very little progress can be made without U.S. leadership.
During the week preceding the summit, almost 2,000 representatives of nongovernmental organizations also met at the United Nations. They were given white wristbands with the words Voices Against Poverty. No Excuse: 2015. May the excuses finally be silenced and the global antipoverty actions begin in earnest.

Ex-Transportation Secretary: It's time to defend US airlines and workers
When I served as President Reagan's Secretary of Transportation, we recognized the economic importance of global air travel and the need for a free and fair market in the international aviation industry.
That's why our administration – and subsequent administrations since – set to work on removing government restrictions and shaping an industry that works for both passengers and businesses.
Today, millions of jobs around the world rely on this thriving aviation sector. Travelers can fly to most countries in the world without restrictions – an everyday occurrence that wouldn't have been possible when I was in government.
Beginning in 1992, the U.S. Department of Transportation and State Department began negotiating bilateral trade agreements with countries around the world, known as Open Skies agreements.
The purpose of these agreements was to liberalize a burgeoning aviation marketplace. Airlines could fly between countries free of limitations and constraints. According to the text of the Open Skies agreements, the bilateral treaties ensure "that competition is fair and the playing field is level by eliminating marketplace distortions, such as government subsidies…"
Simply put, as the aviation marketplace became more open, airlines would be expected to compete for travelers' business on the merits of their products, without governments distorting the market.
By and large, the Open Skies agreements have been a fruitful endeavor. The United States currently has 121 Open Skies agreements with countries around the world. These agreements have provided great benefits to the U.S. airlines, their workers and, most importantly, the American traveling public. The agreements have been enforced and followed without controversy – except for two, with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
Since 2004, the UAE and Qatar have propped up their state-owned airlines – Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways – with over $50 billion in government subsidies. This strikes at the heart of what Open Skies agreements are meant to protect against: market-distorting government interference. In order to truly understand the profound effect this subsidization has had on the industry, one needs to look just below the surface.
Recently, Qatar Airways released its Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Report, in which it reported significant growth and profits, purportedly as a result of an aggressive expansion strategy. A team of forensic accountants analyzed this report and found evidence of nearly $500 million in new subsidies from the government of Qatar to the airline. The latest cash infusion came as Qatar Airways suffered a $703 million operating loss. During the 2016 fiscal year, the airline lost $358 million, demonstrating a pattern of losses.
Governments and airlines around the world have witnessed the havoc the Gulf carrier subsidies can inflict on their aviation industries. Canada and the European Union have taken steps to ensure a level playing field for their domestic carriers, and the German Federal Minister of Transport and the French Secretary of State have each spoken out against the Gulf subsidies.
It's long past time for the U.S. government to stand up for U.S. airlines and workers and stop the subsidies. The good news is that the Open Skies agreements that the U.S. entered into with the governments of Qatar and the UAE include provisions that give either party the right to request consultations for any reason.
Enforcing our Open Skies agreements with the UAE and Qatar would establish a level playing field for all airlines to compete fairly, without reliance on massive subsidies. It would help promote vigorous competition among airlines around the globe and give travelers a wide range of competitively priced options to choose from.
What's more, proper enforcement would help sustain the long-term future of the international aviation marketplace and meet the original intentions of the Open Skies agreements.

Motorcycle Glove Liners use the layering principle. In cold weather, adding glove liners under your regular glove creates a thin warming layer of air around the skin, providing added warmth to your hands.
Glove liners can be worn alone (although not while riding -- you would be at serious risk for road rash, not advisable), or under your gloves, depending on conditions.
Even though the weather can be tough to predict, preparing for it can be simple. Just add a pair of glove liners to your gear bag!

An investigative journalist who has reported on the federal government's alleged sale of hundreds of wild horses to a known kill-buyer has released a video of a face-off in which Interior Secretary Ken Salazar threatens to punch him during an impromptu interview.
Dave Philipps, now a reporter for the Colorado Springs Gazette, conducted a two-minute interview with the cowboy-hat-wearing Salazar, a Democrat, at an event taking place at an Obama campaign office in Fountain, Colo., on Election Day.
In September, Philipps' article for the online ProPublica investigative group claimed the Bureau of Land Management, which manages hundreds of millions of acres of public land in 11 states, was knowingly selling wild horses to a middleman who is thought to have taken them to Mexico for eventual slaughter.
The ProPublica piece centered on Coloradan Tom Davis, who has purchased 1,700 wild horses from the federal government but can't produce documentation on what happened to them. Davis is a proponent of horse slaughter, which is illegal on wild horses roaming public lands. For two years, he has sought investors for a slaughterhouse, the story said. The piece also pointed out that Davis and Salazar are neighbors in Colorado.

One of the complaints about Doom Resurrection for the iPhone was that it was a short, single-player game. At QuakeCon in Texas today, id Software's chief technical officer John Carmack said that plans are underway to add mutliplayer when, as he put it, "3.0 adoption is universal." It is currently estimated that fewer than 25-percent of iPod Touch owners have upgraded to 3.0 since the update costs $9.99 as opposed to free for iPhone owners.
In other Doom iPhone news, Carmack also said that he expected to see the actual first-person shooter Doom III on the iPhone one day in the not-so-distant future. "Eventually we'll be able to move Doom III on the 3G S hardware," said Carmack. That's the sure sound of platform fragmentation, something that the iPhone has not had to worry about until the release of the notably faster 3G S hardware this summer.
The power of the 3G S has led Carmack to discuss whether or not to release dual versions of upcoming games, such as the rage-themed racer. "Do we have the special mega-textured version?" he asked during his talk.

His Story – Jesus is Alive
We had a great Easter with a total of 1270 people attending at our three campuses. I appreciate all the volunteers that facilitated the increase. Thank you for going the extra mile. My thanks to those who shared, by video, how the empty tomb had changed their lives. That was a great testimony of God's faithfulness.
I love talking about the resurrection of Jesus. You might think that after hearing the story all my life and teaching it for 25 plus years that it could be a little routine. I suppose there is always that danger for us church-lifers. But for me, it seems like every year I learn something new about what that empty tomb means.
If Jesus could accurately predict his death and resurrection. And then actually pull it off…! Then it's really no problem for me to believe him when he calls himself the Son of God. Or tells me that he is the only way to God. Because of the empty tomb, it's no problem for me to believe that what he says about life is true. While it may seem counter-intuitive to seek generosity over receiving, serving as the way to greatness, forgiving people who have offended me, etc. None of those are any more incredible to believe than a resurrection. And so Jesus becomes the only one qualified to talk about life after death, because he experienced it and conquered death. When Jesus tells us that he is the resurrection and the life and that if we believe in him we'll live forever, because of the empty tomb that promise is authenticated and guaranteed.
The resurrection is personal. It was the resurrection that sent those early followers into the streets. What set them apart was they believed that Jesus had risen from the death. And they had seen him and touched him and eaten with him. And within a couple hundred years the very empire that had executed Jesus and persecuted the early followers found that Christianity had become their primary belief system. Amazing! The question remaining? What does the empty tomb mean to you?
If you missed the Easter Sunday message, Jesus is Alive, you can view it here:

Women's Knowledge of Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Level of Self-Nurturance and Participation in Heart-Healthy Behaviors: A Dissertation

The number one killer of women in the United States is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) include advancing age, cigarette smoking, diabetes, dyslipidemia, family history, hypertension, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and high intake of saturated fats and low dietary fiber. A women's risk for development of CVD dramatically increases after menopause and with the number of CVRFs. CVD is often preventable. Evidence supports addressing CVRFs reduction early (in the pre-menopausal years) through heart-healthy behaviors such as increasing physical activity, promoting healthy eating, moderate alcohol consumption and not smoking. Therefore, understanding premenopausal women's CVRFs knowledge is an important area of inquiry. In addition, the Nemcek Wellness Model suggests that self-nurturance, as well as knowledge, may be an important factor for explaining women's wellness behaviors. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge of CVRFs, level of self-nurturance and the performance of heart-healthy behaviors in women ages 35 to 55 years.
This study used a cross sectional survey design and venue sampling. The survey included demographic questions, the Self Nurturance Survey, the Heart Disease Facts Questionnaire, the Physical Activity Questionnaire, Prime Screen, and questions about financial strain, cigarette smoking, and alcohol use. The sample included 136 women (survey response rate = 57%), the majority of whom were white (94.9%), married (80.1%), did not smoke (80.1%) and rarely drank alcohol (57.4%).
Results indicated that study participants were very knowledgeable about CVRFs. (Mean knowledge score = 19.53, possible range = 0 to 25 with higher scores indicating greater knowledge). Knowledge did not predict physical activity (p = .07), diet (p = .08) or smoking status (p = .11) in this sample. Self-nurturance was moderately correlated (r = .33) with consuming a heart-healthy diet. Hypotheses derived from the Nemcek Wellness Model were not supported in this study. More research is needed to identify factors that will help women translate knowledge into heart-healthy behaviors.

Mr. Justice Cardozo and the Law of Contracts, 48 Yale Law Journal 426 (1939)
A REVIEW of the consecutive opinions of any court is likely to be a sad undertaking, sad for the reviewer and sad for the reader of his review. A series of opinions by a group of judges, taken consecutively and according to the " run of the mine," will not be found to be filled with many nuggets of gold. At least, they will not seem so to any single reader. His interest is restricted
within fairly definite boundaries, determined by his own past experience
and study. What single reviewer will stay awake as he thumbs the pages of cases listed under " Errors and Appeals," or under "Patents" in the Federal Supplement, or under the conglomerate of titles such as Negligence, Workmen's Compensation, Indians, Automobiles and Criminal Law? The fact that each and every case had intense interest for the two litigants, for the attorneys who represented them, and for the judges as well, is not enough
to keep the reviewer awake; much less is his review likely to keep others awake.
