It is sometimes a better idea to rent a single car with excessive space instead of renting 2 separate vehicles to fit a big group of people. If space is one of your top priorities while choosing a rental car, the oversize rental class will be an excellent decision for you.

The deadline for submitting designs is Monday, November 15. Thirty applicants will be chosen to create birdhouses for an auction at Nature's Market on April 16, 2011. Proceeds will support the Nature Center's scholarship programs and animal care.
"It's been fun seeing what people are proposing," says Nancy Furman, Nature Center Coordinator. "But at the same time, we're still looking for more applications with that unique 'wow' factor. I hope those still planning on sending in a design will let their imaginations run wild and have a lot of fun with it."
Furman said she hopes more students will be encouraged to submit an application before the deadline. She said interested applicants may get some ideas by seeing some of the birdhouses submitted for a benefit in Southampton, New York, which inspired the Lincoln event. The website is http://southforkbreastbirdhouseauction.wordpress.com/.
The birdhouses can be built of any material, but environmental concepts are encouraged, and the total area can be no larger than four square feet. Photos of all 30 birdhouses will be displayed at lincoln.ne.gov and in all Nature's Market promotion. The birdhouses also will be displayed throughout the community March 5 through 31 and then brought together April 1 at the Grand Manse as part of the First Friday Art Walk. After the auction, the top three sellers will be featured in a Lincoln Journal Star advertisement. Birdhouses become the property of the Pioneers Park Nature Center.

What is a Makerspace/Hackerspace?
One way to explain a makerspace is to say it is a collaborate work environment. However, makerspaces are also extremely varied spaces in terms of organization, mission, culture, scope, and size. There are small workshops where a few good friends get together to drink homebrew beer and hack on custom-designed 3D printers. There are sprawling spaces hundreds-strong, a small village barter economy - with ideas and imagination as currency.
Some say makerspaces will replace libraries. As books (and knowledge) ever march digital, what function and role does a library play in society? The library, as the institution we know today, is sure to vanish - our generation will witness its death throes. The Makerspace is the sole heir to its the social responsibility and function, to the ongoing development of skills, and as a curator and index of knowledge.
It's a place for tinkerers and hobbyists to talk shop and compare notes. It's an unbounded blank canvas for creation, where ideas can be put to the test, things set on fire, and the stuff of legends cast in the forge of blood, sweat, and tears. Or just tablespace to work on your soldering skills. It's really up to you, as a participant, to create and define what the space ultimately becomes.
Will it be a mere reflection of yourself? A composite, stained-glass mural of its member ids and egos? Or does it emerge into its own strange and magnificent creature?
These sites give a great introduction to makerspaces and the growing maker movement:
- Wikipedia's Hackerspace Article
- Hackerspaces.org Site
- Hackerspaces Subreddit
- Earth is the Hackerspaces Planet
- Hackerspaces Soup
- Make Magazine
- Maker Faire
Makerspace members both create and contribute to community projects. Project may involve as few as a couple of participants at a local makerspace, to many thousands of contributors across the internet. Some examples of projects that inspire makerspaces include:

Among the army of burger flippers at work across America in the 1960s was a French chef putting his training to use at Howard Johnson's on Queens Boulevard in New York City. I worked for HoJo's from the summer of 1960 to the spring of 1970, doing my American apprenticeship, learning about mass production and marketing. The company had been started in 1925 in Massachusetts by Howard Deering Johnson, and by the mid-1960s its sales exceeded that of Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonald's combined. There would be more than 1,000 Howard Johnson restaurants and 500 motor lodges. Yet after Johnson's death in 1972, the company lost its raison d'etre. The restaurants became obsolete; the food quality deteriorated. You underestimate the clientele at your peril. The late restaurateur Joe Baum used to say, "There is no victory over a customer."
As the Howard Johnson Co. went to pieces, Ray Kroc's obsession with Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value--the unwavering mission of McDonald's--was gathering momentum. Kroc was adroit and perceptive in identifying popular trends. He sensed that America was a nation of people who ate out, as opposed to the Old World tradition of eating at home. Yet he also knew that people here wanted something different. Instead of a structured, ritualistic restaurant with codes and routine, he gave them a simple, casual and identifiable restaurant with friendly service, low prices, no waiting and no reservations. The system eulogized the sandwich--no tableware to wash. One goes to McDonald's to eat, not to dine.
Kroc gave people what they wanted or, maybe, what he wanted. As he said, "The definition of salesmanship is the gentle art of letting the customer have it your way." He would remain the ultimate salesman, serving as a chairman of McDonald's Corp., the largest restaurant company in the world, from 1968 until his death in 1984.
In 1917, Ray Kroc was a brash 15-year-old who lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver. Sent to Connecticut for training, he never left for Europe because the war ended. So the teen had to find work, which he did, first as a piano player and then, in 1922, as a salesman for the Lily Tulip Cup Co.
Although he sold paper cups by day and played the piano for a radio station at night, Kroc's ears were better tuned to the rhythms of commerce. In the course of selling paper cups he encountered Earl Prince, who had invented a five-spindle multimixer and was buying Lily cups by the truckload. Fascinated by the speed and efficiency of the machine, Kroc obtained exclusive marketing rights from Prince. Indefatigable, for the next 17 years he crisscrossed the country peddling the mixer.
On his travels he picked up the beat of a remarkable restaurant in San Bernardino, Calif., owned by two brothers, Dick and Mac McDonald, who had ordered eight mixers and had them churning away all day. Kroc saw the restaurant in 1954 and was entranced by the effectiveness of the operation. It was a hamburger restaurant, though not of the drive-in variety popular at the time. People had to get out of their cars to be served. The brothers had produced a very limited menu, concentrating on just a few items: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, soft drinks and milk shakes, all at the lowest possible prices.

Once when I was a little boy I received as a gift a toy cement mixer. It was made of wood except for its wheels—axles—which, as I remember, were thin metal rods. I'm ninety per cent sure it was a Christmas gift. I liked it the same way a boy that age likes toy dump trucks, ambulances, tractor-trailers, and whatnot. There are little boys who like trains and little boys who like vehicles—I liked the latter.
It was ("it" meaning the cement mixer) the same overlarge miniature as many other toy vehicles—about the size of a breadbox. It weighed three or four pounds. It was a simple toy—no batteries. It had a colored rope, with a yellow handle, and you held the handle and walked pulling the cement mixer behind you—rather like a wagon, although it was nowhere near the size of a wagon. For Christmas, I'm positive it was. It was when I was the age where you can, as they say, "hear voices" without worrying that something is wrong with you. I "heard voices" all the time as a small child. I was either five or six, I believe. (I'm not very good with numbers.)
I liked the cement mixer and played with it as much as or more than I played with the other toy vehicles I owned. At some point, several weeks or months after Christmas, however, my biological parents led me to believe that it was a magic and/or highly unusual cement mixer. Probably my mother told me this in a moment of adult boredom or whimsy, and then my father came home from work and joined in, also in a whimsical way. The magic—which my mother likely reported to me from her vantage on our living room's sofa, while watching me pull the cement mixer around the room by its rope, idly asking me if I was aware that it had magical properties, no doubt making sport of me in the bored half-cruel way that adults sometimes do with small children, playfully telling them things that they pass off to themselves as "tall tales" or "childlike inventions," unaware of the impact those tales may have (since magic is a serious reality for small children), though, conversely, if my parents believed that the cement mixer's magic was real, I do not understand why they waited weeks or months before telling me of it. They were a delightful but often impenetrable puzzle to me; I no more knew their minds and motives than a pencil knows what it is being used for. Now I have lost the thread. The "magic" was that, unbeknown to me, as I happily pulled the cement mixer behind me, the mixer's main cylinder or drum—the thing that, in a real cement mixer, mixes the cement; I do not know the actual word for it—rotated, went around and around on its horizontal axis, just as the drum on a real cement mixer does. It did this, my mother said, only when the mixer was being pulled by me and only, she stressed, when I wasn't looking. She insisted on this part, and my father later backed her up: the magic was not just that the drum of a solid wood object without batteries rotated but that it did so only when unobserved, stopping whenever observed. If, while pulling, I turned to look, my parents sombrely maintained, the drum magically ceased its rotation. How was this? I never, even for a moment, doubted what they'd told me. This is why it is that adults and even parents can, unwittingly, be cruel: they cannot imagine doubt's complete absence. They have forgotten.
The point was that months were henceforward spent by me trying to devise ways to catch the drum rotating. Evidence bore out what they had told me: turning my head obviously and unsubtly around always stopped the rotation of the drum. I also tried sudden whirls. I tried having someone else pull the cement mixer. I tried incremental turns of the head while pulling ("incremental" meaning turning my head at roughly the rate of a clock's minute hand). I tried peering through a keyhole as someone else pulled the cement mixer. Even turning my head at the rate of the hour hand. I never doubted—it didn't occur to me. The magic was that the mixer seemed always to know. I tried mirrors—first pulling the cement mixer straight toward a mirror, then through rooms that had mirrors at the periphery of my vision, then past mirrors hidden such that there was little chance that the cement mixer could even "know" that there was a mirror in the room. My strategies became very involved. I was in kindergarten and home half the day. The seriousness with which I tried must have caused my parents no little anguish of conscience. My father had not yet even received tenure; we were barely middle class, and lived in a rented house whose carpets were old and thin—the mixer made a noise as I pulled it. I begged my mother to take photographs as I pulled the mixer, staring with fraudulent intensity straight ahead. I placed a piece of masking tape on the drum and reasoned that if the tape appeared in one photo and not in the other this would provide proof of the drum's rotation. (Video cameras had not yet been invented.)
During Talk Time, before bed, my father sometimes told me stories of his own childhood adventures. He, an intellectual, had been, according to his stories, the sort of child who set traps for the Tooth Fairy (pyramids of tin cans at the door and windows of his room, string tied from his finger to the tooth below his pillow so that he would wake when the Fairy tried to take the tooth) and other "mythical" figures of childhood, such as Santa Claus. (Talk Time meant fifteen minutes of direct conversation—not stories or songs—with a parent as I lay tucked into bed. Four nights per week Talk Time was with my mother and three nights with my father. They were very organized about it.) I was, at this age, unfamiliar with Matthew 4:7, and my father, a devout atheist, was in no way alluding to Matthew 4:7 or using the tales of his fruitless childhood traps as parables or advice against my trying to "test" or "defeat" the magic of the cement mixer. In retrospect, I believe that my father was charmed by my attempts to "trap" the mixer's drum rotating because he saw them as evidence that I was a chip off the block of ad-hoc intellectual mania for empirical verification. In fact, nothing could have been farther from the truth. As an adult, I realize that the reason I spent so much time trying to "catch" the drum rotating was that I wanted to verify that I could not. If I had ever been successful in outsmarting the magic, I would have been crushed. I know this now. My father's tales of snares for the Easter Bunny or strings for the Tooth Fairy often made me feel sad, and when I cried over them sometimes my parents guiltily believed that I was crying over my frustration at not being able to catch sight of the rotating drum. I'm positive that this caused them anguish. In fact, I was crying with sadness, imagining how devastated my father would have felt as a child had he been successful in trapping the Tooth Fairy. I was not, at the time, aware that this was why the Talk Time stories made me sad. What I remember feeling was an incredible temptation to ask my father a question as he delightedly described these traps, and at the same time a huge and consuming but amorphous and nameless fear that prevented my asking the question. The conflict between the temptation and my inability to ask the question (owing to a fear of ever seeing pain on my father's pink, cheerful, placid face) caused me to weep with an intensity that must have caused my parents—who saw me as an eccentric and delicate child—no little guilt over their "cruel" invention of the cement mixer's magic. Under various pretexts, they bought me an exceptional number of toys and games in the months following that Christmas, trying to distract me from what they saw as a traumatic obsession with the toy cement mixer and its "magic."
The toy cement mixer is the origin of the religious feeling that has informed most of my adult life. The question, which I (sadly) never did ask, was what my father proposed to do with the Tooth Fairy if he were ever successful in catching it. Possibly, though, another cause for the sadness was that I realized, on some level, that my parents, when they watched me trying to devise schemes for observing the drum's rotation, were wholly wrong about what they were seeing—that the world they saw and suffered over was wholly different from the childhood world in which I existed. I wept for them far more than any of the three of us knew at the time.
I, of course, never "caught" the drum of the cement mixer rotating. (The chassis and cab of the cement mixer were painted the intense orange of real public-works vehicles; the drum was painted in alternating stripes of the orange and a deep green, and I often envisioned the hypnotic swirl of the stripes as the drum rotated unobserved by me. I should have included this fact earlier, I realize.) I pulled the cement mixer around so much that my mother, after giving up on trying guiltily to distract me with other toys, banished me to the basement with the cement mixer so that its wheels would not wear further grooves in the living-room carpet. I never found a way to observe the drum's rotation without stopping that rotation. It never once occurred to me that my parents might have been putting me on. Nor did it ever bother me that the striped drum itself was glued or nailed to the orange chassis of the cement mixer and could not be rotated (or even budged) by hand. Such is the power of the word "magic." The same power accounts for why the "voices" I heard as a child never worried me or caused me to fear that something was wrong with me. And, in fact, the free rotation of an unpowered and securely fastened drum was not the "magic" that drove me. The magic was the way it knew to stop the instant I tried to see it. The magic was how it could not, not ever, be trapped or outsmarted. Though my obsession with the toy cement mixer had ended by the next Christmas, I have never forgotten it, or the feeling in my chest and midsection whenever yet another, even more involved attempt to trap the toy's magic met with failure—a mix of crushing disappointment and ecstatic reverence. This was the year, at five or six, that I learned the meaning of "reverence," which, as I understand it, is the natural attitude to take toward magical, unverifiable phenomena, the same way that "respect" and "obedience" describe the attitude one takes toward observable physical phenomena, such as gravity or money.
Among the qualities that made my parents see me as eccentric and mysterious was religion, for, without any prompting or even understanding, I was a religious child—meaning I was interested in religion and filled with feelings and concerns that we use the word "religious" to describe. (I'm not putting any of this well. I am not and never have been an intellectual. I am not articulate, and the subjects that I am trying to describe and discuss are beyond my abilities. I am trying, however, the best I can, and will go back over this as carefully as possible when I am finished, and will make changes and corrections whenever I can see a way to make what I'm discussing clearer or more interesting without fabricating anything.) My parents were intellectuals and devout atheists, but they were tolerant and largehearted, and when I began to ask "religious" questions and to express interest in "religious" themes they freely allowed me to seek out religiously oriented people with whom I could discuss these themes, and even to attend church services and Mass with the families of other children from school and our neighborhood who were religious. If you consider the usual meaning of "atheism," which, as I understand it, is a kind of anti-religious religion, which worships reason, skepticism, intellect, empirical proof, human autonomy, and self-determination, my parents' open tolerance of my religious interests and my regular attendance of services with the family next door (by this time my father had tenure, and we had our own home in a middle-class neighborhood with a highly rated school system) was exceptional—the sort of nonjudgmental, respectful attitude that religion itself (as I see it) tries to promulgate in its followers.
None of this occurred to me at the time; nor did the connection between my feelings for the "magic" toy cement mixer and, later, my interest in and reverence for the "magic" of religion become apparent to me until years later, when I was in the second year of seminary, during my first adult crisis of faith. The fact that the most powerful and significant connections in our lives are (at the time) invisible to us seems to me a compelling argument for religious reverence rather than skeptical empiricism as a response to life's meaning. It is difficult to stay on what feels like the "track" of this discussion in an orderly, logical way. Some of the adults my parents allowed me to approach with religious questions and issues included teachers, a religion professor whom my father knew and respected from an interdepartmental university committee they had served on together, and the father and mother of the family next door, who were both deacons (a type of élite lay minister) in the church two blocks from our home. I will forgo a description of the issues, questions, and themes that my parents allowed me to discuss with these religious adults; they were entirely unexceptional and universal and average, the sorts of questions that everyone eventually confronts in his own time and his own individual way.
My surfeit of religious interest also had to do with the frequency and tenor of the "voices" I regularly heard as a child (meaning up until roughly age thirteen, as I recall it). The major reason that I was never frightened about the voices or worried about what "hearing voices" indicated about my possible mental health involved the fact that the childhood "voices" (there were two of them, each distinct in timbre and personality) never spoke of anything that wasn't good, happy, and reassuring. I will mention these voices only in passing, because they are both not directly vital to this and also very hard to describe or convey adequately to anyone else. I should emphasize that, although "make-believe" and "invisible friends" are customary parts of childhood, these voices were—or appeared to me as—entirely real and autonomous phenomena, unlike the voices of any "real" adults in my experience, and with manners of speech and accent that nothing in my childhood experience had exposed me to or prepared me in any way to "make up" or combine from outside sources. (I realized just now that another reason that I do not propose to discuss these childhood "voices" at length is that I tend to fall into attempts to argue that the voices were "real," when in fact it is a matter of indifference to me whether they were truly "real" or not or whether any other person can be forced to admit that they were not "hallucinations" or "fantasies." Indeed, one of the voices' favorite topics consisted in their assuring me that it was of no importance whether I believed they were "real" or simply parts of myself, since—as one of the voices in particular liked to stress—there was nothing in the whole world as "real" as I was. I should concede that in some ways I regarded—or "counted on"—the voices as another set of parents (meaning, I think, that I loved them and trusted them and yet respected or "revered" them: in short, I was not their equal), and yet also as fellow-children: meaning that I had no doubt that they and I lived in the very same world and that they "understood" me in a way that biological adults were incapable of.) (Probably one reason that I fall automatically into the urge to "argue for" the voices' "reality" is that my "real" parents, though they were wholly tolerant of my believing in the voices, obviously viewed them as the same sort of "invisible friend" fantasies I mentioned above.)
At any rate, the best analogy for the experience of hearing these childhood "voices" of mine is that it was like going around with your own private masseur, who spent all his time giving you back—and shoulder—rubs (which my biological mother also used to do whenever I was sick in bed, using rubbing alcohol and baby powder and also changing the pillowcases, so that they were clean and cool; the experience of the voices was analogous to the feeling of turning a pillow over to the cool side). Sometimes the experience of the voices was ecstatic, sometimes so much so that it was almost too intense for me—as when you first bite into an apple or a confection that tastes so delicious and causes such a flood of oral juices that there is a moment of intense pain in your mouth and glands—particularly in the late afternoons of spring and summer, when the sunlight on sunny days achieved moments of immanence and became the color of beaten gold and was itself (the light, as if it were taste) so delicious that it was almost too much to stand, and I would lie on the pile of large pillows in our living room and roll back and forth in an agony of delight and tell my mother, who always read on the couch, that I felt so good and full and ecstatic that I could hardly bear it, and I remember her pursing her lips, trying not to laugh, and saying in the driest possible voice that she found it hard to feel too much sympathy or concern for this problem and was confident that I could survive this level of ecstasy, and that I probably didn't need to be rushed to the emergency room, and at such moments my love and affection for my mother's dry humor and love became, stacked atop the original ecstasy, so intense that I almost had to stifle a scream of pleasure as I rolled ecstatically between the pillows and the books on the floor. I do not have any real idea what my mother—an exceptional, truly lovable woman—made of having a child who sometimes suffered actual fits of ecstasy; and I do not know whether she herself had them. Nevertheless, the experience of the real but unobservable and unexplainable "voices" and the ecstatic feelings they often aroused doubtless contributed to my reverence for magic and my faith that magic not only permeated the everyday world but did so in a way that was thoroughly benign and altruistic and wished me well. I was never the sort of child who believed in "monsters under the bed" or vampires, or who needed a night-light in his bedroom; on the contrary, my father (who clearly "enjoyed" me and my eccentricities) once laughingly told my mother that he thought I might suffer from a type of benign psychosis called "antiparanoia," in which I seemed to believe that I was the object of an intricate universal conspiracy to make me so happy I could hardly stand it.
The specific instance traceable as the origin of my religious impulse after my interest in the cement mixer passed (to my parents' great relief) involved a nineteen-fifties war movie that my father and I watched together on television one Sunday afternoon with the curtains drawn to prevent the sunlight from making it hard to see the screen of our black-and-white television. Watching television together was one of my father's and my favorite and most frequent activities (my mother disliked television), and usually took place on the couch, with my father, who read during the commercials, sitting at one end and me lying down, with my head on a pillow on my father's knees. (One of my strongest sensory memories of childhood is the feel of my father's knees against my head and the joking way he sometimes rested his book on my head when the commercial interruption occurred.) The movie in question's subject was the First World War and it starred an actor who was much lauded for his roles in war movies. At this point my memory diverges sharply from my father's, as evidenced by a disturbing conversation we had during my second year at seminary. My father apparently remembers that the film's hero, a beloved lieutenant, dies when he throws himself on an enemy grenade that has been lobbed into his platoon's trench ("platoon" meaning a small military grouping of infantrymen with close ties from being constant comrades in arms). According to my father, a platoon is usually commanded by a lieutenant. Whereas I remember clearly that the hero, played by an actor who was noted for his portrayal of conflict and trauma, suffers private anguish over the moral question of killing in combat and the whole religious conundrum of a "just war" and "justified killing," and finally undergoes a total psychological breakdown when his own comrade successfully lobs a grenade into a crowded enemy trench and leaps screaming (the hero does, fairly early in the film) into the enemy's trench and falls on the grenade and dies saving the enemy platoon, and that much of the rest of the film (albeit constantly interrupted by commercials when I saw it) depicts the hero's platoon struggling to interpret the action of their formerly beloved lieutenant, with many of them bitterly denouncing him as a traitor, many others holding that battle fatigue and a traumatic letter from "Stateside" received earlier in the film exculpated his act as a kind of temporary insanity, and only one shy, idealistic recruit (played by an actor I have never seen in another movie of that era) secretly believing that the lieutenant's act of dying for the enemy was actually heroic and deserved to be recorded and dramatized for posterity (the shy, anonymous recruit is the narrator, in "voice-overs" at the film's beginning and end), and I never forgot the movie (whose title both my father and I missed because we didn't turn on the television until after the movie had begun, which is not the same as "forgetting" the title, which my father jokingly claims is what we both did) or the impact of the lieutenant's act, which I, too (like the shy, idealistic narrator), regarded as not only "heroic" but also beautiful in a way that was almost too intense to bear, especially as I lay across my father's knees. ♦

Reactions on Friday around the world to developments in Egypt following clashes in which hundreds of people were killed and thousands injured:
European leaders spoke Friday about the need for a coordinated EU response to the violence in Egypt and agreed there should be a meeting of the European Union's foreign ministers next week. French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for an end to violence and a resumption of dialogue in Egypt. The German government statement said Merkel told Hollande that Germany, one of Egypt's biggest trading partners, would "re-evaluate" its relations with Cairo in light of this week's bloodshed. Hollande also discussed the violence with Italian Premier Enrico Letta and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on French television that no options would be off the table at the foreign ministers' meeting, including a possible suspension of aid. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called the deaths in Egypt "shocking."
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah voiced support for Egypt's military-backed interim government, saying the kingdom stands by the country in its fight against "terrorism and strife" — an apparent reference to deposed Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement. In a televised statement, Abdullah called for honest people and intellectuals "to stand firmly against all those who try to shake the stability of a country that has always led the Arab and Islamic worlds."
Turkish officials kept up their criticism of the military government's crackdown, with President Abdullah Gul saying that "all that happened in Egypt is a shame for Islam and the Arab world." Turkey and Egypt recalled their ambassadors for consultations late Thursday as their relationship worsened.
About 1,500 people flooded the main avenue in central Tunis, many of them pouring out of the capital's most important mosque. They gathered in a large square in front of the municipal theater, shouting support for the Egyptian people, especially supporters of Morsi, and condemning the Egyptian military and the U.S. The hour-long protest was peaceful.
Kuwait said it supported Egyptian government measures to secure the nation as about 100 protesters angry over Egypt breaking up protest camps demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy.
A Foreign Minister official, quoted Friday by the state-run Kuwait News Agency, called on parties to reconcile and stop the country from being dragged into "complete chaos." The official said the government must start a serious dialogue with protesters, while also expressing his condolences for those killed.
The Foreign Ministry urged its citizens to refrain from traveling to Egypt, extending a previous warning to include Red Sea beach resorts around Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheik. Germans who are already in beach resorts were advised to be vigilant and stay in close touch with hotel management and travel agents. The German Travel Association said most Germany travel companies have cancelled all bookings to Egypt until Sept. 15.
The German government also announced it was suspending 25 million euros in aid to Egypt for climate and environmental protection projects. Funding for new development projects will not be approved for the time being, Development Minister Dirk Niebel said.
Fabius, the foreign minister, said he raised its alert level for Egypt on Friday, "formally discouraging" French people from traveling to the country. He said that meant, for example, that tour operators would no longer bring tourists to the country. He also encouraged French people already in Egypt to avoid big cities. He said the country wasn't far off from civil war: "It's in chaos."
Italy's Foreign Ministry expanded its travel advisory to discourage citizens from traveling to all of Egypt, including the Red Sea and northern sea resorts. Foreign Minister Emma Bonino said the "brutal and unacceptable" use of force by Egypt's interim authorities presents a "worrying picture of violation of human rights." Bonino also said the Muslim Brotherhood must act firmly to stop "the extremist and sectarian drifts and to calm down the use of violence."
The Foreign Ministry warned against all travel to Egypt, saying there was a risk that the violent clashes between government forces and protesters "will spread throughout the country." The ministry advised Swiss citizens already in Egypt to keep informed, obey curfews and stay away from crowds or "events of all kinds."
Spain's Foreign Ministry said it summoned the Egyptian Embassy's charge d'affaires, because the ambassador was absent, to urge Egypt to revoke the state of emergency and rein in its security forces. The priorities of the transitional government in Cairo should be to avoid more bloodshed and respect human rights, the ministry said in a statement. It said all sides should be included in "a broad national and inclusive dialogue" to restore institutional normality.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide condemned the disproportionate violence against demonstrators in a telephone conversation with Egypt's interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi. "My message was that everything must be done to prevent a bloodbath, that the security forces must comply with international human rights obligations, and that all parties must show restraint," the online Norway Post quoted Eide as saying.
The Nordic countries changed their advice to citizens, warning against all non-essential travel to Egypt. Several tour operators canceled trips to Egypt and began returning tourists early from holiday resorts.
The Foreign Ministry is advising Poles against traveling to Egypt. However, the ministry said on its website that it considers Red Sea resorts safe. It also says Polish citizens in Egypt should avoid big cities, bazaars, shopping malls and museums.
Polish tourists returning from the beach resort of Hurghada told TVN24 in Warsaw that all tours were canceled, except visits to the town of Hurghada, and that armed guards were stationed at the town's airport.
About 500 demonstrators, most of them Egyptian, gathered in Vienna's downtown on St. Stephens Square, chanting the name of the deposed Egyptian president. Organizer Ali Ibrahim of the Egyptian Community in Austria said the protest was not in support of Morsi but "for democracy and the protection of freedom."
Thousands of protesters took to the streets after Friday prayers, in several cities across Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, calling for the bloodshed in Egypt to end. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in his annual state-of-the-nation address that the excessive force used to disperse demonstrations in Egypt was against democratic values and humanity. He called on all parties to "build compromise and seek a win-win solution."
Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro on Friday condemned the violence in Egypt and announced that he has decided to recall his country's ambassador to Cairo and leave the commercial attache in charge of the embassy.
He said that despite the political differences the Venezuelan government has had with the Muslim Brotherhood "we alerted very early on that the coup against president Morsi was unconstitutional and illegal."
Venezuela's leftist president added that "president Morsi is kidnapped and is the constitutional president of Egypt. ... The imperialist hands that are reaching into Egypt are responsible for the bloodbath."
The Taliban condemned the violence and called for the restoration of Morsi as president. In a statement signed by The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the name under which the Taliban ruled Afghanistan until ousted by a U.S. invasion, they also called on international organizations to take practical steps to stop the violence and "not be satisfied with only condemning this barbaric incident."

In the single-process mode, the server receives requests from web clients to a single process. Inside the single server process, acceptor threads are running that are waiting for new requests to arrive. When a request arrives, an acceptor thread accepts the connection and puts the request into the connection queue. A request processing thread picks up the request from the connection queue and handles the request.
Because the server is multi-threaded, all NSAPI extensions written to the server must be thread-safe. This means that if the NSAPI extension uses a global resource, like a shared reference to a file or global variable, then the use of that resource must be synchronized so that only one thread accesses it at a time. All plug-ins provided with the Web Server are thread-safe and thread-aware, providing good scalability and concurrency. However, your legacy applications might be single-threaded. When the server runs the application, it can only execute one at a time. This leads to server performance problems when put under load. Unfortunately, in the single-process design, there is no real workaround.

Hunter: Khan ready for world's elite
Amir Khan is ready to step back into the ring with the light-welterweight elite, according to his trainer Virgil Hunter.
Khan makes his return to UK boxing when he faces Julio Diaz in Sheffield on April 27 and Hunter believes that, once he comes through the bout, there is no reason why the fighter will not be equipped to face the likes of IBF champion Lamont Peterson and WBA/WBC champion Danny Garcia.
"I would believe it would be the next fight after this one [against Diaz]," Hunter told Buncey's Boxing Podcast, when asked when his next title fight might come. "I believe he's ready for that.
"I don't see any reason to hold him back from these guys any more after this fight. I don't see any reason to it at all."
Khan followed consecutive defeats to Peterson and Garcia with victory over Carlos Molina in December 2012. And while the Bolton-born fighter has admitted his losses have made him stronger, Hunter firmly believes that the 26-year-old has improved his tactical approach.
"It was just a matter of just not changing him in terms of his zest and his willingness and bravely encouraging fighting but learning to rein where to fight," Hunter said. "Don't fight in certain areas, don't fight here, when to fight, when to turn it up, when to turn it down.
"So it was a matter of adjusting his pace, so not killing his spirit and I think that's what we're accomplishing so far.
"He is intelligent, he didn't come to me not having a brain and an IQ, he just had a spirit for fighting and I didn't want to kill that spirit.
"That would've been foolish to kill that fighting spirit I just wanted to show him another way to go about it and it's just a matter of knowing when and when not to, where and where not to.
"I think he's embracing some of the things that he needs to embrace to continue and further his career and he's making good sound decisions so that's what you need and that's what we're asking for and he's responding. So I think we'll see that next week."

Now that Leon and Ashley are reunited, you can backtrack a bit to collect a free weapon. From the start of the chapter, head west through the hall that goes by the merchant. Continue west through the next room to return to the room with the dropped cage. The area is refilled with not-zombies, but you can easily run by them to go through the doorway to the south, exiting back to the series of halls just south of the hedge maze.
As soon as you enter this area, do not move. There are two insects clinging to the ceiling, and you can take them out with a single rifle blow if you spot them before they spot you. One of them just south of the doorway, and the second insect is to the west, around the small corner to the north. With these two dead, continue out to the main hall. If you check your map, you'll see a locked door to the north. Run there with Ashley and she can piggyback up and over the wall, unlocking the door for you. Inside this room you'll find a number of free items, including the Broken Butterfly.
When you've got the gear, return to the start of the chapter. To the north is an unlocked door that leads to the next area.
There's nothing to worry about in this area, though there are a couple of items to pick up on either side of the room. When you've got them, step onto the platform to the north and ride it across to the next area (leaving Ashley behind).
This fiery walkway is home another ornament piece. As you start heading down the path, a large dragon statue will slowly move towards you. Quickly take aim at the operater of the dragon from the top of the stairs—one pistol shot will knock him off. If you miss your shot, quickly run past the dragon to avoid the fire breath attack. Lure the dragon north a bit, and then quickly double back to run up the stairs again. This is the best point to get clear shot at the enemy, so make use of it until you've eliminated the threat. When you do kill the operator, a chest full of gold will appear nearby.
Further north is a platform with a fence spinning around it. Wait for an opening in the fencing to jump across and reach the walkway to the north. When you get there, you'll see two not-zombies just north of you as another giant dragon statue starts to move towards you. Very quickly, run past the not-zombies and turn right to take cover in the corner of a large clearing. As you do, a third dragon will activate to the north.
The not-zombies may or may not follow you to your post. If they don't follow you, leave them be! If they do follow you, cripple them, but don't worry too much about killing them (they'll be replaced as they die). While holding off these enemies, equip your rifle and turn to the north. The large dragon is being suspended from the ceiling by large chains, and if you look hard you can spot one of the chain links that's gold. Target this link with your rifle and shoot it. It takes about five shots from the rifle before the chain will break, dropping the dragon into lava and raising a new stretch of walkway.
When the coast is clear, run up the path to the north. At the top of the stairs is a chest with the Lion Ornament that you can grab before quickly turning around to take aim at the dragon statue to the west. Again, the top of this stairway is the best place to target the enemy, so lure him back and forth until you've got a good shot. With this dragon down, another chest will appear to the south that has a treasure.
With the Lion Ornament in hand, run back towards the area's exit (south). If you run into any enemies, just cripple them to get by them (no need to waste ammo) and return to Ashley.
When you reunite with Ashley, have her follow you into the room to the west. Get in the cart with her and ride it back to the south end of the castle. From the end of the cart ride, unlock the door to the east to enter the main hall of the castle, where you can now use the three ornament pieces to unlock the northern path. You can continue on to the next area, or head up the stairs to the right to collect a few items (check behind the painting) before continuing the mission.
There's another cart to ride in this room, and still no enemies to worry about. Ride the car to the north end of the castle and be sure to grab the items from the nearby vases before you continue to the next area to the north.
Again, there are no enemies to worry about, but there are a few items you can grab and a merchant you can deal with. Also, there's a second shooting gallery here with all-new bottlecaps to earn. When you're done messing around here, continue down the eastern hallway to enter a new area.
Leave Ashley behind for the time being and head down the hall that's lined with knights. As you do, you'll have to time button presses to dodge the axes, and just as before the buttons are either two action buttons or two shoulder buttons. When you make it down to the end of the hall, head into the next room by yourself and grab the King's Grail from the center pedestal.
Once the grail is lifted, four knights will slowly enter the room. Equip your shotgun and blast them in the gut to send them to their knees. After a shot or two, a parasite will poke out of each knight's head. Take them out, and four more knights will storm in the room. Give this four the same hospitality you showed the first, and when they're dead the door will open, letting you return to the hall with the merchant.
When you're back in the hall with the merchant, go through the door to the west to enter another area. There are four floor switches in this room, and two large statues you can push over two of them. With the two statues on two of the floor switches, split up with Ashley so that you press down the remaining two switches. When all four switches are pressed, a doorway to the north will open.
As you enter the room, the ceiling starts the come down at you. To stop the ceiling from falling, target the four red lights that are scattered throughout the spikes. A single pistol shot is enough to knock 'em out, and when all four lights are shot the ceiling will stop falling. Continue through the door to the north and head down the next hall with Ashley. As Ashley approaches the next doorway behind you, a gate will shut in front of her as two not-zombies roll down the hall in a strange mechanical death-mobile. Use either your pistol or the rifle to shoot down the two drivers of the death-mobile (one pistol shot is enough to kill each) and the gate will open up, letting Ashley follow you into the room. There are a number of items to grab in this room, including the Queen's Grail. Grab it, and return to the hall with the merchant.
Head through the north hall and you'll enter a large room with a group of not-zombies at the end. Make sure Ashley is safe behind you, and take on the gang with your shotgun or grenades. With them dead, go into the small area behind them and use both the King's Grail and the Queen's Grail to open up the door that leads to the next area.
There's nothing to concern yourself with in this first hall. Just head through the door at the other end to enter a large room.
As you enter the room, you'll notice a large organic mess hanging from the ceiling. Start crossing the room and you'll soon find yourself confronted by a number of flying insects swarming around you. Use your shotgun to knock them out of the sky and clear a path to the other side of the room. There's a large lever to pull that'll drop open a draw bridge. Target the remaining chain that's holding the draw bridge up (pistol fire is fine) to drop the bridge all the way and continue to the next area.
The next hallway is clear of threats, and there's even a merchant you can deal with. Head north down the hall when you're done, and you'll exit to an outdoor area with a clock tower on the far end. Equip your rifle and you'll be able to target two not-zombies that are hanging out on the balcony at the top of the tower. If you don't get them now, they'll spot you later and call on an attack from some nearby catapults.
With the first two dead, cross the bridge to the tower and get to the balcony from the west. At the top of the stairs are two more not-zombies to deal with before you reach the clock tower entrance on the east side of the building.
At the bottom floor of the tower is a door that's barred by a metal lattice. To move the lattice, you'll have to free the tower gears of debris (there are three blocks of wood stuck in the gears) and then pull the lever on the top floor. Move around the floors to find the three blocks of wood and destroy them with a pistol shot—once all three are gone, pull the lever to open a door, letting in a bunch of enemies.
The floors below are now home to a number of not-zombies, including a few with crossbows. As you make your way down the ladder, don't stand still for too long and you'll be able to avoid the crossbow shots. Quickly take out the enemies as you make your way down the ladders. When you reach the bottom floor, another group of not-zombies will pour in through the doorway. Quickly climb back up the ladder and turn right at the top to avoid the not-zombie throwing dynamite. You can pick off the enemies as they climb up the ladder, or hope that the dynamite thrower gets them with an explosion. Once the tower is clear, jump down and exit through the opened door to the east.
Once you step outside, you'll see a trio of enemies slowly marching towards you from across the bridge. Take 'em out to clear the path, and make your way across the bridge. As you do, enemies start to come at you from both sides of the bridge. Turn around quickly to take out the smaller group of enemies behind you (shotgun works wonders) before taking aim at the not-zombies to the east. When all are dead, just go through the doorway to enter the next area.
You'll spot four enemies just up ahead, but they won't spot you yet. Two of them are regular not-zombies, and the other two are the powerful masked enemies with claws! Equip your rifle and take out at least one of the regular not-zombies (if you've got the semi-auto rifle, you can shoot both). You'll grab the attention of the other enemies who'll rush towards you.
If you've got the Broken Butterfly, now's a good time to use it. As with your encounters with these guys before, lure them around the room until they dig their claws into a wall, exposing the parasite in their backs. The best place to run around is in the very first area—run circles around the two pillars and the powerful enemies will eventually give you an opening to pop 'em in the back.
As you explore the room further, more not-zombies will come through the door from the west. Be ready for them to take 'em out, and continue down the hall to the east. There are a number of items to collect along the way, and after reaching the destination you'll be left off in a new area.
There's another merchant in the area, and he's got a nice new weapon to purchase if you want to make the upgrade (it's recommended). There are also a number of items in this dark sewer area, and even more down the path that's at the top of the ladder. You won't have to worry about any enemies for the time being, so just continue through to the next area.
Start heading down the long sewer hall and you'll get a glipse of something that's hunting you. As you explore the rooms down here, be ready to time some button presses in order to dodge attacks that this lurking creature sharply launches at you. When you've collected the items you want, head to the room to the very north...and equip your very best weapon.
At the back of the room is a switch that'll power up the elevator in the room to the southeast. However, it'll take four minutes for the elevator to be fully operational, a timespan during which you'll be plenty occupied. At the flip of the switch, the door to exit the room closes up. Quickly run to it and try to open it, though you'll be alerted that the door won't open for a little while. No problem, right? Wrong. As you turn around, you'll see the sewer creature face-to-face, and you've got to survive in these cramped quarters long enough to let the door open.
Quickly run past the creature to reach the north end of the room. You can run circles around the generator in the center of the room, timing button presses to dodge the creature's attacks. It's at this point that you should make a decision: will you choose to face off against this creature and kill it to attain the valuable treasure it drops, or will you simply buy your time, dodging its attacks until the elevator comes to your rescue? Since we're hombres, we're going to assume that you want to kill the sucker.
As you're running around the center generator, you'll notice a large canister of nitrous oxide (there are three more identical canisters in these sewers). Press the action button near the canister and Leon will toss in on the ground, temporarily freezing the sewer creature. It's during this time (and this time only) that you can deal damage to the beast. Your best choice of weapons is between the broken butterfly and the rocket launcher—if you've got a rocket launcher, one blast while the creature is frozen will do the trick to silence him forever. However, if your best weapon is the broken butterfly, you'll have to do some more running before he falls.
After blasting the enemy a few times, he'll break free of the ice, so don't waste your shots. Resume your run around the center generator until the door opens up, and then make a mad dash for the hall to the south. While in this hall, you'll have to continue dodging attacks, and if the creature attacks you from the ceiling you'll have to dodge three times consecutively. There's a second nitrous canister in this hall, so push it over as soon as you reach it to freeze the creature again. Even if the creature isn't very close to you, it'll get frozen by the nitrous—just be quick to find him and give him a few shots before continuing your run down the hall.
The first doorway you reach (on your right) leads to a small room with another nitrous canister. By now you know the drill, but this time it's best to wait for the creature to get neary you (dodge an attack) before kicking over the nitrous. When he's broken free from this frozen state, exit back to the main hall and enter the second room (this time on your left). Repeat the process, and the creature should go down about this time. If he doesn't die now, you're pretty much out of luck; there are no more nitrous canisters to push over, and no more chances to fire at the creature. Just wait for the elevator to come up and take it down to complete the level.

GC-B Middle School will go to West Bend-Mallard
Gilmore City-Bradgate students in grades 7-8 next year will be attending school at West Bend-Mallard after action last week (Dec. 18) in GC-B's monthly meeting. The board voted to add the two grades to its present whole grade sharing agreement with WB-M. The two schools are currently in the second year of a three-year agreement in which GC-B sends its students in grades 9-12 to West Bend. "In a nutshell, academically we have no concerns. We're very happy with the education the students are receiving," GC-B Superintendent Ron Bollmeyer said. "Our main concern is that the low numbers generates concerns for our students socially." "For example, recently we had a girl who said she didn't want to go out for basketball because she would be the only girl from Gilmore City out for basketball," Bollmeyer said. "We had a lengthy discussion about all of those things at our meeting last month," Bollmeyer said. "That is our main reason for the change." With both district boards approving the action, they will be able to approve the change at their joint meeting in January, in which they will amend the sharing contract. If present enrollment numbers hold to form, there would be 10 GC-B sixth and seventh grade students this year, enrolled in middle school next year.

John Farrell gets mixed reactions in return to Toronto
TORONTO -- Even a dream job comes with its potential nightmare moments.
John Farrell made sure to tip his cap to booing Toronto fans after exchanging lineup cards before his first game back in Toronto as manager of the Boston Red Sox but that didn't stop booing at every opportunity from the near-capacity Rogers Centre crowd of 45,328.
BOX SCORE:Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 4
"That took it to another level," Farrell said of what he called the most intense negative reaction he's even gotten on a baseball field. "Given the circumstances, the fans had fun with it."
So did the Red Sox, who won 6-4 for their third victory in four games this season.
"A hostile environment, you get those little goosebumps," said Boston DH Jonny Gomes. "It's good. They've been asleep here for 10 years."
Former Blue Jays manager Farrell and his successor, John Gibbons, shared a laugh during the pre-game home plate meeting, the first opportunity for the fans to let loose.
Farrell was booed again when he went onto the field in the second inning, to check on shortstop Jose Iglesias after he was hit with a pitch, and when he made a pitching change in the sixth. Several times, they broke into sing-song "Far-rell" chants.
And a significant number even booed a visit to the mound – though it was actually pitching coach Juan Nieves and not Farrell.
Many Toronto fans still resent that Farrell wanted to leave with a year remaining on his contract because he felt managing the Red Sox was, as he called it, his dream job. The Blue Jays and Red Sox worked out a trade that allowed Farrell to make the move.
"I can fully understand the sentiment, the questions and what might transpire here tonight," Farrell said before the game
He was asked by Mike Wilner, a member of the Blue Jays broadcast crew, what he thought might happen.
"Mike, all the things you've reported and encouraged, I'm sure there will be some boos tonight," Farrell said.
Wilner told Farrell he thought the implication was unfair that fans were being encouraged to react.
Despite the fans' venom, the underlying sentiment on both sides of the field is that both teams are better off the way events occurred.
"We respect John and his decision to pursue his dream job, if that's what he called it," said Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista, who sat out the game with a sore ankle. "We have a manager who wants to be here. We want people who want to be here. The opportunity came and he wanted to go there. I don't blame him. That's what he wanted. We wouldn't want him to be here and wish he was there."
Toronto players say they hold no resentment and saw the pre-game hype as more of a fan and media event.
"If you polled 100 people and said they could have their dream job, they'd take it," said catcher J.P. Arencibia. "So, that's his dream job, that's where his heart was. That's what he did. I understand.
It's not the Blue Jays against Farrell."
Farrell said he was hardly surprised by the attention.
"That, to me, shows there's a lot of passion," he said. "I certainly respect all the changes that have gone on this offseason with the Blue Jays. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. It's good to be back."
And, as Adam Lind of the Blue Jays said, "Everybody's happier now. Everybody's where they should be."

Iowa Court Says Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional
The Iowa Supreme Court announced its ruling in a landmark same-sex marriage case Friday morning.
Read Court's Complete Ruling(pdf) | Read Court's Summary(pdf)
The justices ruled unanimously in favor of six same-sex couples who sought to get marriage licenses, but were denied.
The 69 page ruling means same-sex couples in Iowa can now get married under state law. The ruling said that the Iowa statute limiting civil marriage to a union between a man and a woman violates the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution.
"The legislature has excluded a historically disfavored class of persons from a supremely important civil institution without a constitutionally sufficient justification," wrote the justices.
The decision strikes the language from Iowa Code section 595.2 limiting civil marriage to a man and a woman. It further directs that the remaining statutory language be interpreted and applied in a manner allowing gay and lesbian people full access to the institution of civil marriage.
Same-sex couples will be allowed to get married under Iowa law in 21 days.
The court was reviewing a lower court's ruling that overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriages.
The court's written ruling was to be issued on the Iowa Supreme Court's Web site, but traffic to the site crashed the server and took down the Web site.
Polk County Attorney John Sarcone told the Associated Press that his office won't ask for a rehearing, meaning the court's decision should take effect after that three-week period.
"Our Supreme Court has decided it, and they make the decision as to what the law is and we follow Supreme Court decisions," Sarcone said. "This is not a personal thing, we have an obligation to the law to defend the recorder, and that's what we do."
Advocates against same-sex marriage have said they would likely not appeal a ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. They plan to ask lawmakers to pass a constitutional amendment and put the issue to voters.
Same-sex couples who filed the lawsuit were in Des Moines and spoke at the Hotel Fort Des Moines following the ruling.
"Today's victory is a testament to the strength of love, hope and courage. Our clients have shown an abundance of all three for many years and now at long last they will be able to marry. This will go down as another proud day in Iowa's long history of protecting individual rights," said Camilla Taylor, senior staff attorney at Lambda Legal and lead architect behind the lawsuit.
"We have all of you courageous plaintiffs to thank: Go get married, live happily ever after, live the American dream," said Des Moines attorney Dennis Johnson, who argued on behalf of the gay and lesbian couples.
All of the couples involved in the lawsuit that KCCI talked to on Friday said they plan to apply for their marriage licenses as soon as possible.
One Iowa, a group supporting same-sex marriage is also planning four rallies across Iowa on Friday at 5:30 p.m. in Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Iowa City and Davenport. In Des Moines, the rally will be held at Gateway Park at Grand Avenue and 13th Street.
A group opposed to same-sex marriage gathered outside the court building Friday morning to pray as the ruling was announced. Chuck Hurley said he would "analyze the reading accurately and respond accordingly."
National Impact (View Interactive Map)
The Iowa case has attracted attention from all across the United States and could have an impact on how other states handle the controversial issue, said advocates on both sides of the issue.
Laws banning same-sex marriage have already been struck down by state courts in Massachusetts, Connecticut and California.
Lawmakers in Vermont passed a same-sex marriage bill on Thursday with enough votes to override a veto by the governor. The bill has already passed both houses of the legislature.
The case, Varnum v. Brien, is centered on whether the states 10-year-old law defining a "valid" marriage as only between a male and female violates the Iowa Constitutions guarantees of equal treatment and due process.
Six same-sex couples tried to apply for marriage licenses in Polk County and were denied. They argued that Iowa's marriage law goes against the state's Constitution and sued Polk County Recorder and Registrar Timothy Brien in 2005.
Polk County Judge Robert Hanson ruled last year that the law was unconstitutional and then ordered the license be issued. The next day, the judge suspended his ruling. One gay couple did get married.
The case was appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, which heard arguments in the case in December. The justices did not indicate how long it would take to make their written ruling, though the court generally takes at least several months to issue rulings.

Quitting While You're Behind Lyrics
I see you're playing the blame game, forgetting your own name
Take back all you said
How can a simple distraction be an overreaction?
And cause all of this to end
Our friendship was real for me
To leave seems so easy for you
Forgive and forget, I'll never let you let go of me
Take back the last laugh and just let it go
Your situation's just so personal
With everything you said, instead of just saying you're sorry
I'll forgive and forget, and never let you let go
Who am I to say that you can't have your dreams?
Your situation is exactly as it seems
You point your finger. You left us for dead
It was your fault, but you left us instead.
I never said I'd let this go. It was a long time coming
We were so close
What made you think to send a text like that?
I didn't see it coming, but apparently you're running on

Jacksons planning Las Vegas tribute to Michael
Michael Jackson's siblings reportedly wanna be startin' somethin' that would be to Las Vegas what Graceland is to Memphis.
Michael Jackson's siblings reportedly wanna be startin' somethin' that would be to Las Vegas what Graceland is to Memphis.
The pitch involves a replica of Neverland, including an auditorium for occasional performances, and a gift shop.
"They've been shopping the idea to the biggest hotels on the Strip for two years," a source said. "They want to emulate Graceland."
The concept bears a close resemblance to the pop singer's vision described in this space by the late dealmaker Jack Wishna before Jackson's death in June 2009.
Jackson brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon currently have a foothold on the Strip with their 40-show "Rocktellz and Cocktails" deal at Planet Hollywood. They're looking for a venue that offers high- volume foot traffic for the Neverland project.
Jackson owned Neverland, named after the fantasy island home of Peter Pan, from 1988 to 2005. Jackson's parents reportedly own the property, which has remained closed since Jackson's death.
Graceland Mansion, the home of Elvis Presley, became one of the most-visited private home attractions after Presley died Aug. 16, 1977.
Kim Wagner, half of the "Wakeup with the Wagners," hosting duo at KSNV-TV, Channel 3, returned to Reno, her hometown, to cover the celebration for David Wise's Olympic gold medal in the freeskiing halfpipe.
Because of KSNV's NBC affiliation, Wagner had interviewed Wise three weeks ago in Park City, Utah, home of the U.S. ski team.
She joined Wise's family members at a sports bar for NBC's primetime airing of the Olympic highlights. She had live shots during the 11:30 p.m. newscast and during "Wake Up with the Wagners," which she co-hosts with husband Dana.
It's not every day a reporter gets to return to one's hometown to cover a same-day Olympic gold medal triumph.
She was born in Reno and attended grade school there before the family moved to Los Angeles, Chicago and Florida. Her late father, Don Capozzo, was a star linebacker at the University of Nevada in the late 1960s, when quarterback Chris Ault was finishing his playing days at the school.
Favorite memory from her interview with Wise?
"When I was there, he was so chill, so laid back. He had just shot a Pampers commercial."
"He's going to be an endorsement darling," she said.
