On the morning of Saturday, Dec. 2, 1995, Chicago Police Officer Robert Hanrahan was dispatched by radio at about 7:50 a.m. to the alley behind 1830 W. Newport Ave., on the North Side of the city. He arrived at 7:53, and there he found the body of a man bleeding profusely from the head. It was a cold day, and the man's head was "steaming" where he had sweated.
Officer Hanrahan took the man's wallet from his right, rear pocket and learned that the victim was 58-year-old Ervin Shorter, a laborer for the Department of Streets and Sanitation who worked from 10 in the evening to six in the morning. The name was broadcast over the air to other officers in the area. He had been killed by two gunshots to the head -- one to the right temple and one that entered the corner of his right eye.

"For the funeral," Linda Shorter said, "they put a veil over the casket. He had been shot here" -- she put one finger to her face below her right eye, next to her nose -- "but that just looked like a mole or something. It was the other damage they didn't want people to see.
"He had three nice suits, one for going to church, one for going to funerals and one for going out. I put him in the funeral suit. He liked earth tones, and this one was a tan color. I would shop for his clothes, and he would always like what I picked out. The only thing he wouldn't let me get for him was his Stacy Adams shoes. He always got high tops, and always black, always black."

On the morning of Dec. 2, 1995, at about 7:40 a.m., Ms. Judith Dean was in her car, driving west on Roscoe toward the intersection of Roscoe and Ashland. She stopped at a red light at that intersection. She was in the right hand lane. Ahead of her, in the left lane, there was a "grayish, dirty car," and directly in front of her, a "light green shiny car." There were two people in [the green] car, both young African-American males. The passenger wore a bulky coat and a knit hat. The driver also had a bulky coat on and wore a very short hair cut.
As she sat waiting for the light to turn, she saw four fingers coming out from under the lid of the trunk of the car ahead of her. The lid of the trunk was closed, but she could see the fingers "just above the knuckle sticking out at an angle, kind of wiggling back and forth." The skin color was black, and it appeared to be the hand of a male.

"It was kind of romantic, the way we met," Mrs. Shorter recalled. "It was in the early '60s at a dance hall at 74th and Cottage [Grove], and we caught each other's eye across the room. I sent my girlfriend to ask his name. He came over and asked me to dance, and we danced the night away. At the end of the evening, we exchanged numbers. We dated a good six months and got more and more serious. We got married at City Hall, no big thing.
"First, we were in a three-room apartment. Then we moved to Parkway Gardens at 63rd and King. Some years later, we moved into our home in the Marquette Park/Englewood neighborhood. It's coming up on 30 years in that house.
"We bought it 'as is' and had to fix it up. The decor was not to our liking. There was red, flocked wallpaper in the living room and dining room, and there were red velvet drapes. It took forever to get that wallpaper off, but then we made it nice. I don't want to make it sound like more than it was. It was just home."

Ms. Dean looked at the driver of the car next to hers and made the motion of using a telephone with her hands, asking if he had a phone. He shrugged his shoulders. Looking to the car ahead of her again, she saw the driver looking in his rearview mirror. ... When the light turned green, the green car continued west on Roscoe. Ms. Dean turned onto Ashland. She stopped at a gas station at Addison and Ashland and dialed 911.
On the TV news that night, she saw the story of the murder of Mr. Shorter, and she again called police. She was asked to come to the station at Belmont and Western and was taken to the garage. She identified the car she had seen with the hand sticking out of the trunk. The car she identified was a green, 1995 Chevy Impala SS that belonged to Mr. Ervin Shorter.

(Linda Shorter's reflections)
"We had a '76 Cutlass Oldsmobile we bought new. It took us where we wanted to go, but it finally broke down in 1988. We went for two years without a car. I hated asking people for rides to the store, so we got a Ford Escort. That made it to 1995 even though it was a lemon. It seemed it was in the shop every other month.
"There was this car at the Haggerty dealership at 67th and Western that Ervin kept looking at. He liked that it was heavy, like older cars he had had. It was a special model of Impala made in only a few years. This was a '95 and had a Corvette engine. He was thinking about retiring in the next few years, and I think he wanted to get something nice for himself, something that would be paid off when he retired.
"He said, 'Woman, I'm buying that car.' He'd call me 'Woman' sometimes. When he'd get uppity, I'd call him 'Mister.'
"I never liked the Impala. It was too powerful. It would go from zero to 60 in, I don't know, but BOOM and it was GONE! I couldn't drive it. I tried and put it up on the curb. He bought it in February, and he was like a kid with a new toy.
"He said he'd remodel our kitchen. The kitchen had metal cabinets that must have been there from when the house was built in 1926. But I made it work. I could cook in that kitchen. I made the things he liked, beans and oxtails and short ribs. The day it was finished, he surprised me. Not that I didn't know about it, but I hadn't seen it all done. When I got home from work, he said, 'This is your kitchen. That's my car.'
"It was too much of an attention getter. We'd stop for gas, and young punks would come look it over. That made me nervous. He'd say, 'I worked hard for this car.' He'd say, 'I saved for this car.' He wasn't going to not drive it."

(From police and court records)
In his statement, defendant [Richard Morris] indicated that he was 22 years old and was married to Lyda Antia, 23. They lived in Kenosha, Wis. On Dec. 2, 1995, defendant, Antia and defendant's friends, Tywon Knight and "Taz" [Bryan Hoover], drove from Kenosha to Chicago in Knight's gray Buick Park Avenue. As they were driving, defendant, Hoover and Knight discussed robbing a bank.
They got off [the Dan Ryan] Expressway onto Garfield [Boulevard] and saw Ervin Shorter's car at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. [It was] suggested that the car's owner could be a highly paid drug dealer and would be easier to rob than a bank. Hoover got out of the car and pointed his gun in the driver's side window of Shorter's car. Shorter moved over, so Hoover went over to the passenger's side and got in while Knight got into the driver's side. Hoover asked Shorter to give him the "dope" and the money. Shorter replied that he did not have any money or dope.
They drove in two cars into an alley where they forced the owner of the Impala into the trunk of his car. They drove back onto the [Dan Ryan] Expressway and headed west on [Interstate Highway] 290 until they got off on Ashland Avenue. Defendant told the others that he was looking for a "place to do" the owner of the Impala, meaning a place to kill him. They pulled into an alley and stopped. Defendant determined that this is where they would shoot the victim. Defendant got the victim out of the trunk. Defendant had the .357 pistol out. Knight stood next to him.
Richard Morris states that he orders the owner of the car to his knees. Richard Morris states the owner of the car starts begging for his life. Richard Morris states that he had the gun pointed at the owner, and the owner had his arms shielding his face. Richard Morris states that the owner of the car landed on the ground trying to shield his head. Richard Morris states he aimed at the owner while he laid on the ground begging for his life and shot him twice.

(Linda Shorter's reflections)
"I believe that Ervin must have tried to reason with those boys. I'd get to running my mouth about some of the boys on our block, and he would always say I was too critical about them. He said I should try to find some good in them. They looked up to him, called him 'Pops.' It's ironic that young black boys would be the ones to take his life.
"In the trial, they asked Morris why he had shot him, and he said it was because Ervin had seen his face. That was no reason. Ervin might have just let the car go and not even identified those boys. He was like that. Morris said that my husband cooperated and didn't struggle with him. They asked him if they still thought he was a drug dealer when they saw him, and Morris said he saw he was just 'an old grandpa.'"

At about 7:45 [a.m.], Officer Stephen Lotts and his partner, Officer Michael Lopresti, were driving south on Paulina, headed toward Belmont Avenue. They were just finishing their 12-to-8 a.m. shift. They were in uniform. Directly in front of them was a 1995 Chevy Impala SS. It was very clean and shiny. It appeared "brand new." This car stopped at 3250 N. Paulina. Two men got out of the car. At [the first] trial, Officer Lotts identified defendant Richard Morris as the driver and co-defendant Tywon Knight as the passenger. The two walked across the street, crossing in front of the police car "so close they could have almost touched it."
They made eye contact with the officers and, in the words of Officer Lotts, "They gave us a look that I have never seen before -- one of surprise and shock and fear." They reached the curb at the mouth of an alley, and there they began to run eastbound into the alley. Officer Lotts yelled at them to stop then ran back to the police car, where Officer Lopresti had gone. Officer Lotts radioed a report of the chase.

"I wasn't feeling well [the day before the murder], so we stopped at a Long John Silver's at Archer and Western and got food to take home. We ate at the kitchen table, and he asked me, 'You all right?'
"Later that night, when it was time for him to get ready for work, he put his work clothes on. He dressed real warm because he'd be outside. He'd put on two or three pair of socks, some long johns, a long-sleeve undershirt, corduroy pants, a plaid shirt, steel-toed boots. He had a zip-up orange suit he'd put on over that plus a skull cap and earmuffs.
"With all that on, he'd be almost too stiff to bend over and kiss me goodbye. I'd usually walk him to the door, but I wasn't well, so I stayed where I was. Later, my neighbor said she saw him sit in the car a long time before he drove off. Was he thinking about not going because I was sick? I just don't know.
"The phone woke me up around nine the next morning. I was the only one at home. It was his supervisor at work. 'Is Shorter there?' he asked. That's what they called him, 'Shorter.' I said no. Sometimes, instead of getting home around seven or so, he would have breakfast with his cousin, so I didn't think much about it.
"Then I got another call. 'This is Detective Ryan from homicide,' he said, and then he said something about a carjacking. I thought, 'Oh no, he's stranded somewhere without the car.' And then I thought, 'Homicide?' Did Ervin kill somebody over that car?' The detective put my son [who was an adult then] on the phone, and he kept being evasive. 'Hi, Ma,' he said, and I said, 'Where's Ervin?' and he said, 'Hi, Ma.' He put Ryan back on. He said, 'Mrs. Shorter, we were going to send an officer to your house to tell you this, but since your son is here, I'll tell you now. Your husband is deceased.'
"I was so worried when I turned 48. Everybody in the family seemed to die at 48. My brother was 48 when he died. My sister was 48 when she passed. When I was 48, I didn't die. My husband died."

As Officers Lotts and Lopresti drove west on Henderson Street, they saw a white male individual, Mr. Charles Leroux, pointing south, and they saw defendant Knight running into the gangway between two buildings. They chased him into the gangway and, when he fell, they tackled him. They saw defendant Morris run out from behind some garbage cans. They eventually found defendant [Morris] in a garage, hiding under some debris. Along the chase route, they found a chrome-plated, fully loaded revolver, a set of keys for Mr. Shorter's car and a .357 magnum revolver.
Other officers arrived and took defendants to the 19th District Station at Belmont and Western. Officer Lots then returned to the car [the defendants] had parked on Paulina. He ran the license plate number and was told it was registered to Mr. Ervin Shorter. When the officers opened the trunk of the car they found a number of tools -- screwdrivers and wrenches and the like -- and found also that the inside metal and rubber of the trunk had been damaged.

(Linda Shorter's reflections)
"He kept so much junk in his car, boots and rain gear -- well, he needed those because he worked outdoors -- and tools and things. I think that was why he couldn't get the trunk lid open after they put him in there, because he didn't have room to move. I can close my eyes and see him curled up in a fetus position. I have a '95 Cavalier. I keep that trunk empty.
"I got rid of the Impala, didn't want to see it again. After he died, the family each grieved in our own way. Ervin had a daughter from a previous marriage. She was older. My daughter had her husband and their daughter for support. I sort of went into my own world. Later, a woman from the state's victim and witness program counseled me.
"My son took it real hard. He was the one who went to the alley and saw the blood. He was the one who had to go to the morgue to identify the body. He had never seen his father naked, and he was surprised that Ervin was so muscular. Well, he lifted those heavy cans all day. The medical report called him a 'healthy, well-nourished, black male.' When I heard that, I thought of the pressure cooker we got from Sears so he could make himself some food before I got home. He'd make pinto beans, and I'd do corn bread the night before. Sure, he was well-nourished."

Testimony from the 1998 trial.
Q: Mrs. Shorter, you are the wife of the deceased in this case, Mr. Ervin Shorter?
A: Yes, I am. Well, I was.
Q: And, Mrs. Shorter, did you have any children with Mr. Shorter?
A: Yes, I have two.
Q: Do you have any grandchildren?
A: One. [Mrs. Shorter's daughter had another child after the first trial in 1998. Ervin Shorter's daughter from a previous marriage had three children.]
Q: Mrs. Shorter, I am going to show you what I have marked as People's Exhibit No. 140 for identification, which is a two-page document. I ask you to take a look at that document, ma'am, and tell me if you recognize it?
A: Yes, I do.
Q: What do you recognize that to be?
A: My impact statement.
Q: Now, Mrs. Shorter, at this time I would ask you to read People's Exhibit No. 140 to the ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
A: Dear Judge Toomin. There is an emptiness in my heart as a part of me is missing. Some days, I go into deep depression when I think of the vicious way in which my husband Ervin Shorter's life was taken. But then I start to remember the man I loved and married almost 30 years ago. A man who loved his family and home. A man who worked hard each and every day of his life, an honest man who believed that you gave a day's work for a day's pay. A man who I could always depend on.
We shared everything. I am a stronger woman today because I had a strong man in my life. We sort of lived up to our wedding vows to love, honor, cherish and respect each other through sickness and health, for better or worse and until death do us part.
With the help of God, family and friends I am trying to move on. But my life will never be the same. My only hope now is that justice will be done concerning the people responsible for the death of my husband.
I am sorry. I'm nervous. Could I repeat that please?
THE COURT: Sure.
My only hope now is that justice will be done concerning the people responsible for my husband's murder.

(Linda Shorter's reflections)
"After the trial, Tywon Knight walked over to me and said, 'I'm sorry. I didn't pull the trigger, but I was there, and I'm sorry.' His family was in court, his grandmother, his mother and three sisters. The grandmother said to me, 'Forgive our boy. We spoiled him. Pray for us.' I didn't know what to say. Richard Morris didn't say anything. He did a pimp walk out of the room.
"I keep asking myself how I can forgive him. Well, I'm working on it.
"I gave Ervin's clothes to charity though I still have some pants and sweaters that I mean to donate. I just don't ever seem to get to it though. I'm so blessed that I was able to stay in our home. He had made provisions for that. He's supporting me even in death. Our little block has mostly the same people with some of a new generation. Neighbors send kids to mow my lawn. It's a well kept, quiet block. At night I'll look out and it's so peaceful. I got a serious sickness in 2002. I was so wrapped up in grief and depression I wasn't taking care of myself. After that, I took off my wedding ring. I had to let him go.
"He never put me behind him, and I never tried to go in front. We walked side by side."

After the chase, a widow's grief
-- By Charles Leroux, Tribune senior writer
Last September, I was subpoenaed to appear in Cook County Circuit Court to testify in the retrial of a murder suspect. My role was anything but dramatic. In December of 1995, I had pointed out to police officers in a passing patrol car the direction the suspect and an accomplice had gone as they darted between my house and the one next door.
This had put police back on the suspects' trail at a time when the officers had momentarily lost them. During the trial, I often was introduced to others involved in the case as "The Pointing Guy."
In the course of the second trial, I got a chance to speak with Linda Shorter, the wife of the murder victim, 58-year-old Ervin Shorter, and was taken by the affecting way she talked about their life together and how the smooth fabric of routine suddenly could be torn to shreds. I also was struck by the fact that, although she hated having to relive the nightmare each time, she showed up at every hearing, no matter how minor, during the last decade.
"I had to see it through," she told me.
The Shorters were working people. In his job with the Department of Streets and Sanitation, Ervin lifted cans of garbage. After his murder, Linda's job became watching the slow grind of justice to be sure the system did not neglect her husband.
Ervin Shorter's murder was one of 824 in Chicago in 1995. In the play "Death of a Salesman," Linda Loman notes the despair and financial ruin weighing upon her husband. "Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper," she says. "But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person."
Linda Shorter might well have made such a speech.

Justice meted out for killers, accomplice
-- By Charles Leroux, Tribune senior writer
(From police and court records)
Richard Morris was sentenced to death at the end of his first trial. He also was sentenced to consecutive terms for vehicular hijacking and aggravated kidnapping. In 2003, his death sentence was commuted to life without the possibility of parole when then-Gov. George Ryan granted blanket commutations to all of the state's Death Row inmates just before leaving office.
Morris' second trial, which was prompted by an appeal filed before the commutation, ended in a sentence of 105 years: 60 years for murder, 30 years for aggravated hijacking with a weapon and 15 years for aggravated kidnapping with the infliction of harm. He is serving his sentence at the Stateville Correctional Center. At the moment, the Department of Corrections calculates that he could be eligible for parole in 2048. He'd be 75.
In a separate trial, Tywon Knight was sentenced to 145 years: 100 years for murder plus the same 30- and 15-year terms as Morris for the other two charges. He is serving his time at the Tamms Correctional Center. He would be eligible for parole in 2046. He'd be 72.
According to court testimony, Morris explained that he needed to rob a bank for money for hiding out because of a "problem in Kenosha": his role in the murder of a fellow drug dealer, Fred Jones, in Morris' apartment the night before Ervin Shorter was killed. Morris was upset that Jones had sold him some bad cocaine. He held Jones in a bear hug while an acquaintance, Bryan Hoover, beat Jones with a four-iron golf club. Morris then strangled Jones with a towel. Morris and Hoover tied the body up with television cable and put it in the trunk of a car they borrowed from Tywon Knight. Morris, his wife and Hoover drove the car to Chicago, stopping to buy lighter fluid along the way with money taken from Jones' pocket. They dumped the body in an alley at 1331 S. Kedvale Ave. in the early morning hours of Dec. 1, 1995, doused it with lighter fluid and set it on fire. The three then got back into the car, drove back to Kenosha, picked up Knight and returned to Chicago, where they kidnapped Shorter.
In Kenosha County Court, Hoover was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree intentional homicide in Jones' murder and for conspiring to hide a corpse. He is serving the sentence at the Dodge Correctional Institution in Wisconsin.
Lyda Antia, Morris' wife and a native of Colombia, was sentenced in Kenosha County Court to 6 years for mutilating the corpse of Fred Jones. She was sentenced to 15 years in Cook County Court for aggravated vehicular hijacking. In 2006, she was deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

No, they were never released. The early salesman samples popped up on eBay and a few Asian stores took pre-orders only to have them cancelled a few months later.

Entrepreneur Jeb Griffith is plotting a course for growth after taking the helm of SkipperLiner, a custom houseboat and commercial passenger boat maker in La Crosse, Wis.
Griffith was a loyal SkipperLiner customer before he acquired the company in November 2010, having owned at least seven of its houseboats and one of its commercial passenger ships over the preceding two decades.
But the acquisition initially had little to do with building premium boats. Instead, Griffith was more interested in the company's 6 acres of Mississippi riverfront property.
Plans changed, however, after Griffith and his son, Pete Griffith, got a closer look at SkipperLiner's boat-building operation, which had shut down in April 2010 amid financial difficulties. That came as remaining employees worked with a buyer to complete a boat left halfway done when production stopped.
"The longer we were around, the more we fell in love with the business," Pete Griffith said. "We're all boaters and we really enjoy the boating lifestyle, so that helped as well."
Jeb Griffith, 73, grew up boating on the Mississippi and claims to have "swamp water" in his blood. He also has quite an entrepreneurial touch, having launched and sold companies that make library automation software and composite softball bats. He also owns Locknet Inc., a network security services company now headquartered in the SkipperLiner building.
The boat company was facing a bank sale, Jeb Griffith said, when he negotiated a deal to acquire its assets. The previous owner had filed for voluntary debt amortization, a bankruptcy alternative unique to Wisconsin.
The decision to restart SkipperLiner's production has meant continuing work for 16 manufacturing and four front-office employees, including designers and engineers, some with a decade or more of experience. SkipperLiner was profitable last year on sales between $5 million and $10 million, according to the Griffiths.
SkipperLiner builds custom houseboats and yachts up to 120 feet long and U.S. Coast Guard-certified passenger vessels up to 200 feet long. The company has built more than 1,000 boats since its 1971 founding.
SkipperLiners have a reputation for durability, with owners keeping them 20 years or longer in some cases, the Griffiths said. Steel hulls add to the boats' longevity and enable year-round use, making them popular with "live-aboards."
In hopes of boosting business, SkipperLiner is working to reconnect with past customers and doing research to identify leisure and commercial prospects, the Griffiths said. That research offers an optimistic view of the market, finding that 45 percent of leisure boat owners recently considering buying a bigger boat. Separate research points to a turnaround in the slower commercial market, with resorts, cruise lines and other tourist-related industries expecting stronger business.
Seeking to build international sales, the company is pursuing a business plan to reach potential customers in Asia and other parts of the world.
One challenge is helping potential commercial customers get financing in the face of tighter credit and higher down payments, which Jeb Griffith said can come to 30 percent on a $3 million or $4 million passenger cruise vessel. SkipperLiner offers consulting to help commercial buyers design flexible layouts aimed generating revenue beyond ticket sales.Read more at http://www.startribune.com/business/141187603.html

All I could find was sushi rice, suchi vinegar and nori. I have no clue what or even how to get ahold of dashi...and the box of nori says I need wasabi? really? ick. Not a wasabi fan. Toooooooo spicey.
But I had this yummy sushi with crab meat and some fish type paste and wanted to attempt something similar. Not sure what to do from here though.
Just the new girl around here looking for some lunch ideas.
No you don't need wasabi if you don't like it. It's like tomato ketchup on a hamburger - traditional but not necessary.
Maki has instructions for cooking sushi rice at http://www.justhungry.com/2003/11/japanese_basics_1.html
There are lots of different sorts of sushi, but assuming you want to make rolls there are instructions for doing so without a sushi rolling mat at http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/sushi-roll-bento-m..., and if you HAVE a mat you just use the mat instead of the tea towel. The easiest sushi to make is a bowl (or bento box) packed with sushi rice and topped with whatever you like. Like http://justbento.com/bento-no-20-shrimp-chirashizushi-easy-sushi-bento
My blog is Food and Shoes
I saw the recipe but it calls for dashi. Not sure what that even is lol.
If you click on the phrase "dashi stock" in the sushi rice recipe it goes to this page that explains dashi stock in a lot of detail. Dashi is Japanese soup stock, and is a fundamental building block of Japanese cooking. You can use instant dashi stock granules if you'd rather not bother making it from scratch. You can find dashi granules at Japanese or Korean grocery stores, or nowadays even at Whole Foods. A popular brand name is Hondashi - here it is on Amazon.
If you want to make sushi rice in a hurry though (you must start with properly cooked rice though - overcooked rice will end up a pasty mess, undercooked rice won't stick together properly) you can get something called "Sushinoko", which is a powder that you can just mix into freshly cooked hot rice to turn it into sushi rice. It tends to be rather salty though and has MSG, but as I said, it's a shortcut. Sushi no ko is sold at any Japanese or Korean grocery store or online from Amazon.com.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Also, if you don't mind using MSG, you can use a little bit of that or even Accent seasoning (which is basically MSG) instead of the dashi - just put a pinch into the cooking water, or mix a pinch into the hot rice.

While reading Linux Journal Issue 181 today, I stumbled upon a section explaining about running Ruby on Rails on Apache using an Apache module called Phusion Passenger, also known as mod_rails.
To install Passenger, I followed the instruction provided in the magazine:
sudo gem install passenger

"I'm definitely a standup comic. That's what I'll always be. And that's the work I do that really is what defines me," she says. "Everything else is wonderful and part of it, but I identify as a standup comedian. That's where I come from and where my livelihood comes from most of the time, but it's also where my joy comes from. All the writing I do or the journalism I do or the music I do is still comedy to me. To me, it's really the same. I don't feel like I want to cross over. That would be weird. I love being a comic. The whole point is to not be taken seriously!" Read more here.

Bisexuality does *not* say anything about believing that there are only two genders. The "bi" part refers to two sexes, not two genders. You, of all people, know that sex and gender are not the same thing. As a bisexual person, I'm really fucking sick of hearing about how I can't identify as what I am because it reinforces the gender binary. It does no such thing.

When Susan Mary Alsop died in August 2004 at the age of 86, her death marked the end of a legendary era in Washington social and political life. The wife of columnist Joseph Alsop, she had a front-row seat in the theater of 20th century power players, was a friend to presidents, moguls, artists, movie stars, intellectuals and European leaders, and bore intimate witness to the history of her day, recording it in sprightly, intelligent letters to her husbands, children and friends.
Less well known is that she had a secret life, which included, among other things, an illegitimate child, a homosexual husband, near-anorexia and alcoholism. And while she herself was an impeccably pedigreed descendant of founding father John Jay, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court, and her family moved in rarefied circles — her father, a career diplomat, was the frequent escort of Queen Marie of Romania, and her mother attended the marriage of Czar Nicholas II to Alexandra in St. Petersburg — she also had more than her share of sorrows and disappointments: an only sister who died early; an invalid husband she no longer loved who exhausted her during a protracted, agonizing decline; and lovers who never quite returned her passion.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Now, a new biography offers some feminine insights into the life of this fascinating woman. "American Lady: The Life of Susan Mary Alsop" is written by a former French diplomat, Sophie-Caroline de Margerie, a member of the Conseil d'Etat, France's highest administrative court. Moving in similar social circles as her subject (de Margerie's parents-in-law, French Ambassador Emmanuel de Margerie and his wife, Hélène, were personal friends of Alsop's), de Margerie was given access to 500 of Susan Mary's previously unseen letters as well as to the unabridged diaries of Duff Cooper, former British ambassador to France and the father of Susan Mary's illegitimate son.
The result is a sensitive and respectful appraisal of her subject, but one that doesn't quite clinch the essential, if elusive, Susan Mary. Instead of giving us several sentences at a time of Susan Mary's writing — which her son does quite effectively in his 2008 book "My Three Fathers: And the Elegant Deceptions of My Mother, Susan Mary Alsop" — de Margerie mostly just weaves in phrases here and there and into her third person narrative. In addition, de Margerie glosses over the toll her affair with Cooper took on both her and her first husband, remarking only that she retained her "cheerfulness" in the most difficult situations and that husband Bill Patten accepted her infidelity with grace. The end result is that despite the richness of de Margerie's source material, her account never entirely conveys the charm and nuance of Susan Mary's expression, her often-marvelous observations and the clever wit that made her irresistible to so many men — and it understates the damage to her family caused by her relentless pursuit of power.
Born in Rome, where her father was a diplomat, Susan Mary spent her childhood in Italy and Argentina and returned to America in time to attend Foxcroft School, where she excelled. Although brainy enough to take classes at Barnard College, she never received a bachelor's degree. Instead, Susan Mary, vivacious, socially adept and strikingly attractive, had the dream of doing something more interesting with her life. At 21, she wangled a job at Vogue as a receptionist, writer and model. One memorable fashion shot shows her with Babe Paley, the stunningly beautiful wife of CBS founder William Paley, dressed in evening clothes and hanging from parachutes at the 1939 World's Fair. Before long, however, Susan Mary married Bill Patten, a charming junior diplomat who was posted to the American Embassy in post-war Paris.
Today, as de Margerie makes clear, Susan Mary likely wouldn't have settled for that. She would have been a journalist, diplomat or political activist like her lifelong friend Marietta Tree, another blue-blooded socialite and Democratic activist who became the United States representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Instead, in 1940s Paris, she embraced the most natural role for her gender and social class, becoming a noted salonnière. Following in the mold of the famous French aristocrat Madame de Staël, Susan Mary put together glittering evenings featuring witty, glamorous and important people from both sides of the Atlantic: Winston Churchill, the duke and duchess of Windsor, Duff and Diana Cooper, the Rothschilds, Cy and Marina Sulzberger, Evelyn Waugh, Louise de Vilmorin and Jean Cocteau, to name just a few.
If she wasn't giving a party, she was attending one, always well briefed on current affairs. Intensely interested in politics and history, Susan Mary was caricatured in Nancy Mitford's novels as the earnest Mildred Jungfleisch, who "puts aside certain hours every day for historical study." But despite her friend's wicked takedown, she seemed to bear the teasing with typical good nature, even giving copies of Mitford's books to some of her friends.
Like many in her social set, Susan Mary didn't let her marriage prevent her from having a few discreet affairs with men far more prominent than her first husband. The first affair was with Duff Cooper, who became British ambassador to Paris in 1944 and her lover in 1947. Cooper was the great passion of her life, according to her friends. Even though he was an inveterate philanderer, well into his 50s and already in declining health when they met, Susan Mary, just 29, fell under his spell. After Cooper died in 1954, Susan Mary went on to have an affair with Gladwyn Jebb, one of Cooper's successors as the British ambassador to France, who held the post when the two began their affair.
Susan Mary's first husband finally died of complications from emphysema in 1960. Even though she had long since stopped loving him, Bill's death left Susan Mary alone and grieving. Within a year, however, she moved to Washington to marry Joseph Alsop, one of Patten's oldest and closest childhood friends and a Groton and Harvard classmate.
It was a brilliant marriage of convenience. Joe Alsop was a confirmed homosexual, a fact he confided to Susan Mary before they married. But he was also the capital's most influential journalist at the time and had an especially close and cordial relationship with President John F. Kennedy. As a result the Alsop home became the place for power players to congregate. It was there, as Nancy Mitford once put it, that Susan Mary could watch "history on the boil." And boil it did: President Kennedy held up dinner one night for a serious tête à tête with the French ambassador in the Alsops' garden. What became known as the Cuban missile crisis burst into the news the next day.
Despite their social successes together, however, Joe's and Susan Mary's marriage fell apart in 1973. Alone once again after the divorce, Susan Mary at last was free to pursue a career as a writer, penning several critically successful books whose subject matter clearly betrays her own interest in power and backroom diplomacy. In 1974, she published "To Marietta from Paris 1945-1960," an edition of letters she had written to Marietta Tree; in 1977, a biography of Vita Sackville-West's mother; in 1982, "Yankees at the Court: The First Americans in Paris"; and in 1984, "The Congress Dances," about the 1814-15 Congress of Vienna. She also wrote numerous articles in Architectural Digest about the homes of her famous friends.
As she grew older, Susan Mary began to drink heavily. After several blackouts, concerned friends and family members forced her to spend some time drying out in a clinic. During the intervention, she dropped a bombshell: In the course of her affair with Cooper, she revealed, he had fathered her son, Bill, a secret that Susan Mary kept from the latter until he was 47, with understandably devastating emotional repercussions. To outsiders, Susan Mary's life had always seemed perfectly orchestrated, but the effort required to maintain that airy illusion inexorably took its toll.

A motorcyclist accused of smashing a window and starting a bloody encounter between a group of bikers and an SUV driver was arraigned Sunday on gang assault and other major charges, which his lawyer said were overblown.
Reginald Chance, 37, allegedly used his helmet to smash through the SUV's front window before the driver was pulled from the vehicle and assaulted.
There is no evidence Chance hit the driver, but Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Samantha Turino said he set in motion the events that led to the beating. Prosecutors say Chance broke the motorist's window, allowing the other riders to drag him into the street.
Chance's lawyer said the gang assault charge is excessive because his client did not actually assault the driver.
"My client obviously overreacted in smashing the window, but beyond that he was not a participant in any assault on the victim," his lawyer, Gregory Watts, said. A judge set Chance's bail at $100,000.
The confrontation, which was caught on video, occurred after several bikers stopped a Range Rover SUV on a highway, attacked the vehicle, then chased the driver and pulled him from the car after he plowed over a motorcyclist while trying to escape. The driver, Alexian Lien, needed stitches after being pummeled by the bikers.
At a press conference Sunday, a man who intervened in the beating of the driver said he "felt intense danger" as he protected Lien.
Sergio Consuegra said he had been on his way to church on Sept. 29 when he saw an SUV stop on 178th Street in Manhattan and a group of motorcyclists approach.
Consuegra said the riders started hitting the car, and that one of them tried to grab Lien's wife, who was in the car along with their child.
"She was kind of making some sounds," he said. "I saw a baby inside; she had the baby in her arms, I guess she was protecting the baby from all the glass that was flying inside and outside."
Lien was on the ground when Consuegra stepped in between him and the bikers.
"There was more coming, and they feel like they wanted to keep hurting the man -- and I felt intense danger at that moment, at that time, and I say to myself, 'Let me not show these people that I'm here to engage in any kind of confrontation but that I'm here to protect the man and the family, so I'm going to keep it cool.' That's what I was thinking," Consuegra said.
Lien will not face charges, law enforcement officials said. He has been cooperating with investigators and is expected to testify before a grand jury in the coming week. Lien's wife, who was in the car with their daughter at the time of the attack, said in a statement last week they feared for their lives as they drove off.
The motorcyclist who was crushed by the SUV, Edwin Mieses Jr., of Lawrence, Mass., suffered a broken spine and two broken legs and may never walk again, his family said.
Mieses' family held a news conference Friday with their lawyer in which they said that he wasn't doing anything wrong when he was struck by Lien's SUV. They acknowledged that Mieses had stopped his bike in front of the family's vehicle but said he was trying to get the other riders to leave the family alone when he was hit.
Robert Sims, 35, of Brooklyn, was arraigned Saturday in Manhattan on charges of first-degree gang assault, first-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Bail was set at $100,000. A criminal complaint notes video shows Sims was among five to six motorcyclists who attacked Lien after he was dragged out of the car, and says Sims stomped Lien in the head and body.
An attorney for the 35-year-old Sims did not immediately return a call for comment. He is the third person to face formal charges in connection with the attack, though the case against one of those motorcyclists was subsequently dismissed when prosecutors said they needed more time to investigate.
On Sunday night investigators released a photo, shown below, of a new person of interest interest in the case. Anyone with information about the man is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

Obama/Boehner Two-StepWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Philosophy: Fascism
by Stephen Lendman
Previous articles explained fiscal cliff duplicity in detail. At issue is destroying America's social contract. Both parties agreed early in Obama's first term. They plan killing it incrementally by a 1,000 cuts.
Class war rages. Private wealth and power are pitted against essential public needs. Property rights, individualism, and free-market mumbo jumbo hammer ordinary people mercilessly. Neoliberal harshness reflects it.
Warren Buffet once said, "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's winning."
Obama, Boehner and complicit congressional leaders agree. Plans are to give corporations and America's privileged class more. Unprecedented wealth extremes will widen.
Public needs will grow. Shared sacrifice is one-way. Both parties concur. Obama and Boehner publicly dance around what both leaders agreed on months or years ago. Media scoundrels pretend otherwise.
On September 19, 2011, economist Richard Wolff headlined his Guardian op-ed "The truth about 'class war' in America," saying:
"Republicans claim (Obama's) millionaire tax is 'class war.' The reality is that the super-rich won the war" long ago.
Tax hike fear-mongering claims:
(1) raising them "amount(s) to un-American 'class warfare,' pitting" ordinary Americans against corporations and super-rich elites; and
(2) tax hikes negatively affect productive investment and job creation.
Evidence proves otherwise. Post-WW II, every personal income dollar raised was matched by $1.50 on business profits. Now it's 25 cents.
Ordinary households bear today's burden. Social justice are four-letter words. Corporations pay increasingly less. Nominally from 1989 - 2007, they paid 24.7% of profits. Since 2010, they averaged 12.4%. In reality, many pay much less.
Obama/Boehner's grand bargain assures new cuts. Obama's on record favoring lower corporate taxes. Expect nominal reductions from today top 35% rate to 28%. What's paid, of course, is much less.
Sometime next year, major tax code revisions will be quietly announced. Discussions about them are concealed. Otherwise, major social benefit cuts would look like double-dealing duplicity to fund corporate largese. More on what's coming below.
Wolff said US taxes over the last half century saw "a massive double (burden) shift from the richest individuals to everyone else."
Corporations and super-rich elites won America's class war. Everyone else lost out.
On December 13, Wolff revisited the topic. His Guardian op-ed headlined "Class war redux: how the American right embraced Marxist struggle," saying:
Republicans and conservatives used to say little about "classes and class warfare." America is a "classless" society, they claimed.
Most Americans are "wondrously comfortable and secure consumers," they say. Harsher views now prevail. Unguarded moments reveal them.
Prime targets are called "moochers." Romney called them "the 47%" always voting Democrat.
"Moochers" depend on government handouts, they claim. They include contractual federal obligations. They're for qualified eligible recipients.
Social Security and Medicare aren't entitlements. They're not welfare. They're insurance policies. They're funded by worker/employer payroll tax deductions.
Social Security provides retirement, disability, survivorship, and death benefits. It's America's most effective poverty reduction program.
It's worked remarkably well since inception. It once provided secure inflation-adjusted retirement or disability income. Manipulated CPI numbers erode annual amounts received.
It protects personal savings. It avoids risky private investments.
It's not going broke. When properly administered, it's sound and secure. Over time, it needs only modest adjustments. Doing so properly keeps it viable in perpetuity.
Medicare is America's largest health insurance program. Tens of millions are covered. Everyone over 65 and some younger disabled people qualify. So do others of all ages with end-stage renal disease.
Obama/Boehner/complicit congressional leaders/and corporate America want both programs privatized and eroded en route to ending them in their present form. They want Medicaid and public pensions treated the same way.
Death by a 1,000 cuts is policy. Expect it to play out over the next decade.
Both parties support class warfare. They want people most in need denied help. They want government reduced to militarism, national defense, homeland security, and defending corporate and super-rich privileges.
They want everyone else spurned, on their own, sink or swim. At issue is destroying America's social contract by neoliberal austerity.
Democrats feign resistance. It's cover for what they agreed on years ago. Obama's fully on board. He's corporate America's point man.
His people-friendly persona masks his diabolical dark side. No pun intended. He's contemptuous of popular needs. He heads the fight to destroy them.
Battle lines are drawn. Ordinary people are in the crosshairs. Political theater conceals what's coming.
Both sides agreed on $4 trillion in largely domestic cuts over the next decade. It's for starters. Quietly they're on board for much more.
Deficit cutting urgency is a ruse. Whatever amounts are cut, annual deficits will rise exponentially. Cutting them depends on sound policies both parties spurn.
They include ending permanent US wars, cutting defense spending sharply, shutting down overseas bases, reinstating progressive taxes, and making corporations and large investors pay their fair share.
Most important is putting money power back in public hands where it belongs. Doing so ensures long-term, inflation-free prosperity. It's possible with minimal taxes on ordinary people.
Good policy isn't rocket science. It's time-tested effective. What worked in other countries and colonial America can be replicated now. Both parties reject it. They have other fish to fry.
Their plans involve thirdworldizing America. Political theater will unveil it step by step. Obama agreed to $1.2 trillion in largely domestic yearend cuts.
Boehner raised his initial $800 billion to $1 trillion. Expect agreement on around $1.1 trillion. Simpson-Bowles recommended it two years ago for starters. All parties have much more in mind.
Boehner's on board for modest tax increases on incomes of $1 million or more. Obama suggests $400 million. Expect compromise around $600 million. On average it's what America's 1% earns.
Word awaits on expected tax revenues raised v. bracket manipulation and specific spending cuts. Expect Medicare and Medicaid to be hit hard.
Final deal terms may mandate around $500 million cut from Medicare alone. Expect it mostly in higher Part B and Part D deductibles and copays.
Defense increases, not cuts, are planned. War profiteers rest easy. Reductions will come from weapons systems Pentagon officials don't want, overseas troop drawdowns, and veterans benefits most of all.
Retirees will pay higher healthcare premiums and co-pays. Overall benefits will be cut. Promises made were broken. Neoliberal harshness targets them like other Americans. Even wounded and disabled vets increasingly are on their own.
"Broadening the tax base" is code language for major code revisions coming. Ordinary people will be hit hardest.
Expect mortgage deduction caps, state and local tax deduction limits, less allowed for charitable and medical insurance deductions, lower education credits, raising the Social Security retirement age to 67 or higher, and other ways to squeeze America's middle class and least advantaged.
Obama and Boehner feign negotiations. They're on board in principle. Public two-stepping is deceptive. Deal parameters and terms were agreed on long ago.
Corporate bosses are on board. Obama's been meeting with them multiple times weekly. Tax relief, greater handouts, and other incentives bought their support. What they back becomes policy.
Key bosses matter most. They're lobbying Congress for Obama. Heavy lifting is done. Final details await announcement. Most planned cuts are backloaded. They'll begin in 2014 or 2015. Others will kick in later.
December 31/January 1 are fictitious deadlines. Cuts can come any time. They can be made retroactive to yearend.
March 27, 2013 is a real deadline. America runs out of money when its debt ceiling is reached. US law requires Congress authorize borrowing limits to fund federal programs.
Doing it means raising the ceiling by late March or sooner. Expect agreement in principle by yearend. Details come later. Two-stepping continues.
Media scoundrels provide background music. Corporate approval sealed a done deal. Neither side of the isle dares disagree.
Campaign contributions depend on going along. Money talks. In Washington it buys influence. It demands consigning America's social contract to history's trash bin.
Middle class and disadvantaged households are increasingly on their own. Harder than ever hard times await them.
A Final Comment
In 2009, the Nobel Committee continued its long/inglorious tradition. Another war criminal got its peace prize.
Obama followed Henry Kissinger, Shimon Peres, Yitkak Rabin, Menachem Begin, Al Gore, Kofi Annan, three other US warrior presidents, and other candidates deserving harsh condemnation.
On December 19, Time magazine added another award. Obama became its person of the year for the second time. It called him "both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America."
It omitted saying he helped make it unsafe and unfit to live in.
It ignored his war on humanity, his police state governance, his kill list, his self-appointment as judge, jury and executioner, and his self-designating himself power to have any US citizen arrested and imprisoned uncharged indefinitely for life.
It forgot about numerous other violations of international, US statute and constitutional laws. So many exist, it's hard remembering them all. Instead of denouncing his rogue governance, it praised what causes so much harm to so many.
It shouldn't surprise. In 1938, Time named Hitler person of the year. In 1939, Stalin followed. Future Nazi collaborator Pierre Laval won in 1931. So did Nazi sympathizer Charles Lindbergh in 1927.
In 1937, facist Chinese leader Chaing Kai-shek was Time's choice. Kissinger, Nixon, GHW Bush, Bill Clinton twice, Newt Gingrich, GW Bush twice, and Bernanke were future inglorious choices among others.
Perhaps Netanyahu will win next year. Qualifying depends on colonizing all valued parts of Palestine he doesn't yet control. Perhaps he's pushing overtime to meet Time's deadline.

Peace Corps A Top Choice for L&C Grads
May 26, 2011
Lewis & Clark is a top provider of Peace Corps volunteers. This year, the college tied for third in the Peace Corps' annual ranking, jumping nine spots from 2010.
Currently, 23 Lewis & Clark alumni are serving as Peace Corps volunteers. Since the organization's founding in 1961, 352 Lewis & Clark graduates have served.
"The combination of hunger for knowledge about the world and a commitment to community are what make Lewis & Clark students and alumni a good fit for the Peace Corps," says Jane Hunter, interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "Students come to campus hoping to make the world better, and they leave with the skills and determination to begin to make it happen."

Blackhoof was in the Bone Wastes the other day. Slowly, and methodically, working off quests given to him by the folks at the stranded caravan. One quest involved entering the Shadow Tomb and recovering some artifacts. I worked my way down into the tomb and discovered a Dwarf Hunter, named Bluntte, and his bear, Oscar. He was going into the same side room as I was. It quickly became clear that we were working on the same quest, and that fired off the partnership. He'd pick one of a pair, I'd get the other, and we'd help the other finish theirs off. Left and right sides taken care of and we moved to the end room. We cleared this using the same tactic and were at least at the big four armed lady there. He pointed at her, and pointed at me. Ah, he's letting me have her and her loot. Thanks. So we kill her, no loot of note, and grab our artifacts.
Now this room also contained a Broken prisoner, Akuna. And he needed rescuing. So I pointed at him, then at Bluntte. And we were off.
Well, Akuna (I hope I've got his name right) is one annoyed Broken. Rather than quietly, and quickly, coming with us to his freedom, he walks till he spots one of his Orc captors, and runs to attack them. Much hilarity ensued, however, we did manage to get him out into the night air. And out onto the sands and heading to the caravan. Except for the group of two that materialize around him, joined by two more that were already there, and the two skirmishers that just rode up.
Akuna the Maroona, was dead. Bluntte cried, I sighed, and he turned and pointed back to the tomb. I nodded. If at first you don't succeed...
So we head back down, and Akuna is there again, none the worse for the wear. Bluntte points at me, then Akuna. My turn. We head back out, trying to keep him safe. As we clear the tomb Bluntte goes ahead and clears the path. Excellent. And Akuna instead runs to the right, behind some tents, and finds two more we didn't even consider threats. Good grief. What an angry Broken.
But, lo and behold, the pre-clearing worked and Bluntte and I got Akuna to safety. Now I pointed back to the tomb, and we both returned.
And once again Akuna was recovered and delivered to safety.
Bluntte and Oscar, of the Rangers of Kirin Tor

I love houseplants and boy, do I have some beauties! The truth is I don't have a green thumb, I just know a few secret tricks and tips that I will gladly share with you.
KNOW YOUR VARIETIES. Only consider plants in what I call the "thrivuus neglectus" family, which comes from the Latin root meaning "really cheap and thrives even under the harshest conditions of poor light and neglect."
Aspidistra is also known as the "cast iron plant" and for good reason. This baby can survive any condition, including low light and a dry environment. And it is not ugly.
Pathos comes in many varieties that tolerate poor light and actually enjoy being left alone.
Ficus Elastica or "rubber plant" likes a cool, dimly lit space. But, if you should happen to set it in a sunny area, watch out. It will grow like crazy and you'll be searching on the Internet for how to prune the darned thing.
Spider plant, also known as chlorophytum comosum, is tough and does well in low light. It sends out these really cool trailing vines.
Dracaena or "corn plant" is a great choice for hot, dry apartments.
Philodendron likes a medium to low light source and even moisture. Will survive even under the most severe conditions of neglect.
KNOW WHERE TO BUY. I'm a huge fan of the Walmart and Target garden departments. Home improvement centers like Home Depot and Lowe's are excellent sources as well. Just look for the bargain table, and you'll run right into the plants on my list above.
KNOW WHEN TO WATER. Unlike silk and plastic, live houseplants do require water, and weekly is good. Pick a day, any day — then water your plants on the same day every week. Don't overdo it.
KNOW YOUR FERTILIZER. Houseplants need to eat from time to time, but don't think you have to buy them food. I feed mine selected garbage. Caution: While a little garbage is good, more is not better. Go easy.
—Coffee grounds. Just work used coffee grounds into the soil.
—Egg shells. Crush, and then work into the soil.
—Water from boiling potatoes and pasta. Plants love that starch.
—Milk solution. No, I'm not kidding, but it has to be very, very, very weak. Rinse the empty milk container with water and feed that to your plants. That's how weak it should be.
—Banana peels. Chop them very finely and mix a small amount into the soil.
KNOW YOUR MAINTENANCE. Keep the leaves of your plants clean. Dust plugs the pores and prevents plants from taking in the carbon dioxide from the air. A damp cloth once every few weeks will do the trick.
Live plants are an inexpensive way to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in any living space. As a bonus, they improve the indoor air quality. And when you select plants that require little or no care, you save yourself time and money.

|Fallout: New Vegas
|Obsidian Entertainment
|Bethesda Softworks
|Release Date
|Action RPG
Fallout: New Vegas will be the next installment in the Fallout series. The game will be developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks. Obsidian Entertainment has some of the staff who worked on Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, however, New Vegas is not a direct sequel to any of the previous Fallout games. It will use the same engine and gameplay design as Fallout 3 and will take place in post apocalyptic Las Vegas.
Fallout: New Vegas is scheduled for release in the Fall of 2010. It will be available on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Fallout: New Vegas will take place a post apocalyptic Las Vegas. On October 23rd 2077, the Great War between China and America reached it's peak when both countries launched nuclear missiles, plunging the entire planet into chaos and destruction. Unlike other major U.S cities such as Washington DC, New Vegas avoided being directly hit by the bombs. However, the people and creatures in the city still suffer from the high levels of radiation and mutation.
Many of the regular Fallout creatures can be found in New Vegas, such as Super Mutants, Ghouls, Geckos and Deathclaws. We will also be introduced to new creatures such as the Big Horner.
The New California Republic will also make an appearance, along with Caesar's Legion.
Fallout: New Vegas is not a direct sequel to any previous Fallout games, however parts of the story will relate to Fallout 1 and 2. There has been no mention of anything related to Fallout 3. It takes place in 2280, three years after the events of Fallout 3.
The story follows and character known only as the Courier, who was carrying a parcel across the Mojave desert. He was left for dead in a shallow grave when he was discovered and rescued by a friendly TV Robot called Victor, and healed by Doctor Mitchell.
These features may change before the release of the game.
- Bethesda have revealed that New Vegas & Fallout 3 have no ties.
- New Vegas isn't as affected by radiation and nukes than Washington D.C, so there will be more intact buildings, as well as vegetation.
- A new 'Hardcore' mode will be introduced, where the Courier will have to drink water to avoid dehydration, ammunition has weight and healing isn't instant, it happens over time.
- Special moves for V.A.T.S are introduced, such as golf clubs having "Fore!"
- A reputation system has been introduced.
- There will be more varieties of Super Mutants, such as intelligent and different coloured super mutants. For example, in one screenshot a super mutant can be seen with love-heart shaped glasses and a blonde wig.
The first teaser trailer for Fallout: New vegas was released on February 4, 2010.

Iraq/ 2010
They support him, they cheered him up, they beautified his cruelty and crimes and they simply put him in power to be a godfather of Iraq for good, but his execution order took place a few years ago. Saddam is here. Iraqi society can not forget him even after his death because some of us still love him and the rest are still afraid of him. People who love him say, because he was handsome, powerful and aggressive. Saddam in the meantime was generous and cruel, he was a good father and he was a criminal. He made Iraqi people to kill and to be killed in the same time. His shadow is still following Iraqi society everywhere.

Welterweights Erick Silva (14-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and John Hathaway (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) will collide at UFC on FUEL TV 10, which also serves as the finale for the second season of "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil."
The recently announced event is expected to take place June 8 at Ginasio Paulo Sarasate in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The event's main card airs on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook.
UFC officials announced the bout following an initial report from Brazilian website Globo.
"TUF: Brazil 2" features coaches Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fabricio Werdum, who lead opposing squads in the series, which is expected to debut March 17 on Globo.
Silva, who recently was forced to pull out of a UFC 156 bout with Jay Hieron due to an injury, returns to the cage following a loss to Jon Fitch that most observers consider his first true defeat inside the octagon. Fitch outpointed the Brazilian at UFC 153 this past October, which slowed the hype Silva had built with a first-round TKO win over Charlie Brenneman four months earlier.
Following a UFC-debut win over Luis Ramos, Silva was disqualified for illegal punches in a bout against Carlo Prater at UFC 142. However, referee Mario Yamasaki later admitted to erring in his stoppage.
Hathaway, meanwhile, is on the upswing with three straight wins. At UFC Fight Night 24, he outpointed Kris McCray and followed it up with decision wins over Pascal Krauss and John Maguire at UFC on FOX 3 and UFC on FUEL TV 5, respectively.
The 25-year-old Hathaway was widely thought to be one of the welterweight division's best up-and-comers before a decision loss to Mike Pyle at UFC 120 halted his momentum.
For the latest on UFC on FUEL TV 10, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

By Carlo Garganese
From the moment Giampaolo Pazzini sustained a muscular injury in the pre-match warm-up, one could just sense that the night was set up for Mario Balotelli to steal the show.
The San Siro ripped out a huge roar as it was announced that AC Milan's new darling had been promoted from the bench for an immediate starting debut against Udinese. The atmosphere in the Stadio Meazza was already electric - despite the empty seats - and the same fans who mobbed their hero when he arrived in the fashion capital on Wednesday, now pushed up the energy levels even higher.
Despite being well below match fitness, having barely featured for Manchester City over the past couple of months, it took less than 30 seconds for Balotelli to demonstrate just what a massive impact he is likely to have on the Rossoneri. With his first touch, the 22-year-old skipped past two opponents and fired inches wide.
Milan's young forward trident, with Balotelli in the middle and Stephan El Shaarawy (20) and M'Baye Niang (18) to his left and right respectively, has already been tipped for great things. A mixture of devastating pace, power, flair and fantasy, the trio will frighten defences all over the land.
Some would argue they already form the best attack in Serie A - even if Totti, Osvaldo and Lamela at Roma may disagree - and they took little time to conjure up an understanding. Balotelli's brilliant, blind, flick around the corner sent Niang through on goal, only for goalkeeper Daniele Padelli to come to Udinese's rescue.
It was Balotelli who inevitably broke the deadlock. El Shaarawy's cross from the left located Balotelli, who fired the ball past Padelli and even afforded himself a rare goal celebration and a smile. Just another sign that he has found his real home in Lombardy.
Goal.com's best transfer of the January window was dropping deep, allowing the lightning-quick El Shaarawy and Niang to exploit the space in behind him, while the triad's flexibility in switching positions was also a nightmare for the Udinese defence. While this was only one game, El-Ba-Ni really do look the part.
Balotelli almost doubled his and Milan's tally before half-time with a beautiful curling effort from 25 yards, and he later helped set up Niang, who crashed against the bar.
Giampiero Pinzi's deflected equaliser against the run of play temporarily rained on Balotelli's parade, but 'Super Mario' was not to be denied. Deep into injury time, Milan were gifted a penalty to win the game following a shocking refereeing call. Paolo Valeri deemed Thomas Heurtaux's clean tackle on El Shaarawy to have been a foul.
Balotelli doesn't miss penalties - he hasn't missed one in his entire professional career. According to former team-mate Joe Hart, he only ever failed once in training during two-and-a-half years at Manchester City.
It was the perfect ending to a perfect debut. With Milan's forward trio having the potential to be together for the next decade, there are sure to be some exciting episodes ahead for the Balotelli show.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — For a team that didn't pile up many wins last season, the Golden State Warriors certainly racked up their share of highlight plays.
When you start with the dynamite backcourt tandem of Monta Ellis and Steph Curry, that should be expected.
But much has changed for this team since we saw them last.
New owners, new uniforms, plenty of new faces and maybe some renewed vigor for a team that has never had to worry about the passion of its immense fan base.
With training camp just days away, we're still trying to figure out how coach Don Nelson is going to integrate eight new faces — All-Star forward David Lee, Dorrell Wright, Louis Amundson, Rodney Carney, Charlie Bell, Dan Gadzuric and rookies Ekpe Udoh and Jeremy Lin — into the Warriors' mix.
But Nelson is the league's resident mad scientist, so if anyone is capable of cooking up something, it should be him. And he'll be coaching (for as long as the new ownership group will have him) the sort of motley crew that should be easy to show some California love for all those Warriors diehards in the Bay Area.
Whether or not this team will inspire any reaction beyond their home base, however, remains to be seen.

The 37 is the epitome of the large, powerful motor sailer. Over one hundred and forty have been built since her introduction in 1973. Over this period the interior layout and rig have evolved into what many owners today would say is the best motor sailer of its type.
Under sail, or powered by her massive 100 h.p. engine, this boat will take you safely and in comfort to any destination around the world.
Fisher 37's have sailed more miles then any other in the range and her distinctive profile will be found in any of the oceans around the world, from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
The sail plan has been well refined over the years and today the cutter ketch rig is standard with bowsprit, giving powerful performance yet still being easy to manage.
With the Fisher 37 you can be confident that every design detail has been thought through carefully to create a yacht that can virtually be all things to all people – a pleasure to sail, powerful under motor, a long distance cruiser, or a comfortable live aboard 'permanent' home.
