Remy wandered into the mansion's kitchen, yawning and rubbing sleep out of his eyes. Moving on autopilot he lurched toward the coffee.
"Nightmares still bothering you?" Jean asked, glancing up from the paper she was reading, looking disgustingly wide-awake.
"None of your business spook," Remy snapped.
"I didn't read your mind brat," Jean responded. "Scott was worried about you."
"What's new?" Remy muttered. "Why ain't Logan here?"
"He and Peter are still on their op with the police. We're expecting them back any day now," Jean answered. "You better hurry up and get dressed unless you want to go to the airport in your pj's."
"Why am I going to de airport dis time?" Remy asked.
****** ****** ******
Remy waited impatiently with Jean at the airport. "Why I have to come?" he complained for what Jean estimated was the hundredth time.
"They're your family," Jean replied, feeling like a broken record.
"Mais meeting' dem here, it's like saying' I want dem," Remy argued. "I don' care 'bout dem. I don' want dem in m' life. I want rien to do wid dem."
"Yeah but you can recognize them and I'd feel stupid holding one of those silly cardboard signs," Jean replied.
A tall man with long, reddish brown hair, pulled back into a ponytail and the face of a good-natured pirate emerged from the plane. He paused, quickly scanning the room then walked directly toward Jean and Remy.
Remy noticed the man and started looking around for Josette, but the man appeared to be alone.
The man stopped in front of Remy and stared at him intently. "So you be callin' yo'self Remy Lebeau now," he said and it wasn't a question.
"Who de hell are yo'?" Remy demanded feeling like he was being judged.
"Jean-Luc Lebeau."
"I got a right to de name too," Remy said angrily. "Josette's man say she mus' of laid wid de devil to get a chile like me, and he don' have no family name s'far as I know, mais Josette can't say I ain't hers. No mattah how much she wants to."
"I t'ink it suits yo' petite," Jean-Luc said mildly.
Remy stood there, speechless, as his hostility toward the man faltered.
"Where's Remy's mom?" Jean asked suspiciously. "I thought she was coming too."
"So did I chere," Jean-Luc said with a sigh. "Mais we both be wrong, it jus' be me."
Jean reached out to scan the man and was surprised to find his thoughts as untouchable as Remy's.
****** ****** ******
Xavier waited for Jean-Luc to settle himself it one of the office's chairs then said. "Mr. Lebeau, I must be honest with you, I'm not comfortable simply turning Remy over to a long lost relative he doesn't even recognize. Also I am quite aware that you are a man with secrets."
"Den we have something in common, neh?" Jean-Luc replied. "Did some checkin' into dis school's financers an' I didn' get too many answers, but dose dat I did get… I t'ink it best if we both jus' respect dat de other's secrets ain't gonna harm de chilen, d'accord?"
"Why didn't Remy's mother come with you?" Xavier asked changing tactics.
Jean-Luc's lips thinned. "Yo' should understand dat Josette be m' baby soeur an' I'll a'ways love her, but jus' now I ain't too proud of her," he said.
"She refused to acknowledge a mutant child," Xavier extrapolated.
"Yo' could say dat, but yo'd be ignoring de real problems," Jean-Luc said. "Truth is if Remy hadn' of been a mutant, t would have been somet'ing else. Josette was only 16; she married Armand on de sly when our pa'ent tol' her dey didn' want her seein' him no more. She kept it quiet till an annulment be out of de question, de family's traditional 'bout t'ings like dat, so dey let her try, even dought Armand be too ole' for her and jus' no damn good. Kept an eye on dat husband of hers as much as I could, but when Remy be four dey moved up to Baton Rouge."
Xavier caught a few flashes from Jean-Luc's mind that told him that this was far from the whole story; something about hiding both the marriage and child from a benefactress, but Jean-Luc's shields, so like Remy's, prevented him from casual prying.
"We lost touch, didn' know what be happenin' till dat connard beat Josette half to death. De police contacted de family. Remy be gone for more dan a year by de time we know anyt'ing 'bout it. I managed to trace him to N'Orleans, but dere he disappeared. After all dat Josette's still de same spoilt little girl. She blames Remy for her marriage goin' bad even dough her whole family try to tell her dat her husband be trouble."
"I hardly think it will benefit Remy to force the boy back into that situation," Xavier said.
"Josette be living wid me an' mon fils," Jean-Luc said. "An' Armand not be an issue any more. When Josette turn stubborn 'bout makin' dis trip I told her to either do her duty by her fils or to give responsibility for de boy to me. Yo' can see which she chose; I'm legally Remy's guardian an' I ain't totally opposed to him attendin' your school here, but de boy should know he's got a family to call his own, non?"
"What are you getting at?" Xavier said.
"Be takin' Remy home wid me. Want him to spend some time wid us. Give everyone de chance to get to know one another. Den, if I t'ink it be a good t'ing I send him back here, but dis be a school, not a replacement for a family."
Jean-Luc was surprised to see Xavier bristle at his comment. "I don't believe Remy would be comfortable being drug off to live with a group of strangers, even if they are related to him," Xavier said.
"I chose to meet Remy here 'stead of simply havin' him sent home for jus' dat reason," Jean-Luc replied. "Lets de boy meet me wid his friends 'round."
"And if he isn't willing to leave with you?" Xavier challenged.
"I nevah believe in borrowin' trouble," Jean-Luc said. "No reason to worry 'bout somet'ing dat probably won' happen, neh?"
"If that's how you feel about it," Xavier said with a small, secretive smile.
****** ****** ******
Jean-Luc and Remy wandered the mansion's grounds as they talked.
"... I t'ought for sure we'd los' yo' when I found out 'bout yo' meetin' up wid Richard Lambert," Jean-Luc said. "De man t'ink he was some sort of modern day witch hunter, I didn' t'ink yo' had a chance 'gainst him."
"Yo' really looked for me?" Remy asked wonderingly.
"I nevah quit," Jean-Luc said quietly. "Los' hope, but I didn' give yo' up."
"Why?" Remy asked.
Jean-Luc smiled sadly. "Yo're m' family an' I know yo' don' 'member me, but I was more dan a bit fond of yo' when yo' were a little t'ing."
"Den why yo' let Josette take me 'way from N'Orleans?" Remy asked. "Don' 'member much back den, but I a'ways knew I was happy 'fore we moved. Dat be why I headed back dere when I ran 'way."
"I wish I'd known, but dere was a time when N'Orleans wasn' safe for yo' petite," Jean-Luc said. "Armand found a job he liked an' movin' jus' seemed like de smart t'ing to do. Jus' 'bout de same time yo' Grandpere was in an accident. I ended up takin' on a lot of new 'sponsibilities an' when Josette tell me everyt'ing be fine it didn' occur to me to doubt her."
"Josette a'ways be sayin' dat," Remy said accusingly. " 'Everyt'ing be fine.' 'Oui, Remy broke his arm, but rien be wrong.' ' Oui, dat be a bruise, yo' all know how clumsy I be.' Everyt'ing a'ways fine, rien evah wrong. Leas' not in public, when we 'lone, everyt'ing be wrong an' it all be m' fault."
"Je desole Remy," Jean-Luc sighed. "I know it ain't a good 'nough 'xscuse, but I didn' know what was happenin'. I would have done somet'ing much sooner if I had."
"Mais, yo' didn't an' yo' can't change t'ings now," Remy said.
****** ****** ******
Flames licked at the edges of Remy's dreams, something ancient and terrifying straining at it's bonds. Despondency pressed down on him, born of isolation and insecurity, it torn at the foundations of self-esteem and bred desperation. The external pressure set ghosts both old and new free to tear at his mind.
Vines wrapped themselves around Remy's legs, binding him in place. "You let me die," Kevin accused.
"Rien I could do. Scott said so," Remy protested.
"You couldn't help me either," a tall dark haired girl said. "Of course I didn't need help near as badly before I met you."
"Maren, je desole, 'm so sorry. If I'd known, I nevah would of sent yo' to him. I only wanted to help," Remy apologized.
"You really aren't much good at helping," Mia said, scowling at him. "You promised to bring my mommy back, you lied."
"Little One, I couldn', I jus' couldn'," Remy pled. "I did what I could."
"And it's never enough," a tall blond man with broken wings dragging behind him said. "Too little, too late and all that's left is ashes."
****** ****** ******
Restlessly Remy wandered the darkened mansion. Morning was hours away, but he didn't even want to look at his bed.
He didn't know why his nightmares had chosen now to return with such a vengeance. Kevin's was hardly the first rotting corpse he'd seen. He felt awful for Rachael and Mark, that could explain maybe one night's guilty dreams, but rationally he knew that the boy's death was in no way his fault. His subconscious just didn't seem to care about what was rational.
Remy noticed light seeping out from under the door to Hank's room. He was torn between wanting company to drive away the lingering shadows in his mind and having yet another person know that he was bothered by something as childish as bad dreams.
"Henri got so many problems of his own, he won' have time to fuss 'bout yours," Remy decided, quietly opening the door and slipping in.
Hank was so absorbed in his computer he didn't even notice that he had company.
"Companionship widout any costs," Remy thought happily settling himself in.
Fifteen minutes later Remy slipped back out again, a disgruntled frown on his face. "Sometimes being an empat' jus' sucked," he thought.
Remy paused for a moment outside of Logan's empty room. If the older mutant had been home he probably would have been on one of his nightly prowls of the grounds. Remy suspected that the Canadian's mutation included a leaning toward being nocturnal, either that or his friend had an even harder time getting a solid night's sleep than he did.
With a small sigh Remy moved on, leaving the empty room behind. Passing a window he caught a glimpse of a dark form moving through the shadows. "What de hell he be up to?" Remy said to himself, running silently downstairs.
Even with his unnaturally keen night vision, it took Remy a few moments to pick-out Jean-Luc's form again, the older man had a knack for blending with the shadows.
Without a second though Remy followed him.
Scaling the outer wall Remy just caught a glimpse of Jean-Luc as he grabbed a ride on the back of a semi-truck.
A few seconds later Remy was balancing precariously on the ledge of his own truck, hands scrabbling for purchase, cursing under his breath and wondering exactly what it was that his oncle did for a living.
Jean-Luc ditched his ride once they reached town, where he had a dark, non-descript car waiting for him.
Remy thanked his lucky stars that the car had been left in the parking lot outside a bar. It only took him a few seconds to hotwire a motorcycle and continue the chase. From Westchester into New York, they flew down the road.
Jean-Luc left the car in a parking garage near an upper class section of the city. A few minutes later Remy swore as the older man looked directly at the shadow he was hiding in then grinned, inviting Remy to keep up, if he could.
A mad scramble followed. Up a fire escape, across rooftops, through a skylight, through the elevator shaft, out an apartment balcony, across to the next building's fire escape and then Jean-Luc just disappeared.
After fifteen frustrating minutes of backtracking and scouting around Remy gave up in disgust and headed back to the parking garage.
Twenty minutes later Jean-Luc returned to find Remy leaning back against the hood of his car, arm crossed over his chest, scowling. "Yo' care to 'xplain t'night," he said.
Jean-Luc tossed him a folded square of paper. Remy scanned the contents. "It be a lis' of names, so what?"
"It be a lis' of likely backers for your Professor's school," Jean-Luc elaborated. "I did a little snoopin' back at de school, found a few of de puzzle pieces I be missin' lookin' from de outside. De picture dey form lead me here or rather to a trey posh nightclub several blocks from here. Dat be a lis' of de club's members. Havin' someone do de background check'll take sometime, but ain't yo' curious as to who wants to fund an elite, mutant vigilante group? 'Specially seein' as how yo're wid dat group?"
"Oui," Remy said taking a second, more appreciative look at the list in his hand.
"Yo' want to return your bike or ride wid me?" Jean-Luc asked.
" 'M sure de police will 'ventually figure out where it belongs," Remy said opening the passenger door. "How yo' vanish like dat?"
****** ****** ******
Jean peeked through the doors as she walked past the den for the third time since discovering Jean-Luc and Remy talking there. She frowned noticing that sometime in the past few days Remy had lost the determinedly sullen body language that had characterized the drive home from the airport and was now listening to Jean-Luc with open curiosity.
"How's the family reunion going," Hank asked as she joined him in the kitchen.
"I can't believe that Remy, of all people is falling for this guy's act!" Jean exclaimed. "The idiot's gonna get hurt again."
"There is a certain moth to the fire attraction occurring," Hank said. "But I can see where Remy's coming from. To have you're family suddenly show us and say it's all a mistake, that they want you after all. I've got nearly five years on Remy and I'd be tempted to buy what Jean-Luc is selling."
"That charm thing of Remy's probably runs in the family too, like the shields," Jean said. "I just don't trust the guy."
"Jean, you don't even like Remy," Hank pointed out.
"Yeah, but I'm not letting someone waltz in off the street and entice him into who knows what kind of trouble."
****** ****** ******
A terrified wail broke the stillness of the night, bringing the mansion's inhabitants running.
They found Remy, eyes wide and unfocused, striking out at phantom enemies, his room lit by the flickering glow of his powers. Hank noticed that instead of flowing over his entire body as they had during other times they'd seen Remy panicked the glow stuck to his hands, fading out about half way up his arms.
"Remy wake-up!" Jean yelled both verbally and with her mind. Remy responded by throwing a charged pillow at her. Jean telekinetically contained the resultant explosion.
Jean-Luc pushed past the others, speaking softly to Remy in a mis-mash of French, Creole and English.
After a few minutes the glow of Remy's powers died and he threw himself into Jean-Luc's arms. "Oncle Luc," Remy cried in a voice that sounded much younger than the boy's sixteen years.
Jean-Luc smoothed Remy's hair gently. "Shh, it's a'right now petite. I got yo', I got yo'."
Gradually Remy returned to fully to the here and now. Blushing he pulled away from Jean-Luc.
"You can't just keep ignoring those nightmare," Jean said gesturing to the remains of the pillow, once she was sure Remy was listening. "With you're powers this is dangerous. You should let the Professor help you."
"Dat be your own fault, girl," Remy argued. "How many times I tell yo' to stay out of m' head?"
Seeing Xavier arriving, Hank decided that the excitement was over and retreated back to his room.
"Jean has a point," Xavier said. "It would be a simple thing for me to deal with."
"Non!" Remy yelled sparks dancing around his fingers.
"We will discuss this again in the morning, when you've calmed down," Xavier said frowning.
Jean-Luc watched the other two leave then waited until Remy appeared somewhat collected. "Mebbe yo' 'member me a bit," he said.
Remy's blush renewed itself as he thought back to his reaction to Jean-Luc's voice cutting through his nightmares. "I couldn't say J's," he said slowly. "Yo' told me jus' to call yo' Luc."
Jean-Luc nodded grinning warmly. "Mattie used to watch yo' while Josette took her classes, yo' a'ways liked playin' in m' office best."
"Yo' had green carpet," Remy said, his expression distant and thoughtful. "An' yo' kept lemon drops in de bottom draw of your desk."
"Used to be licorice when Henri was younger," Jean-Luc said. "But yo' didn' like de licorice. Yo' nevah had much of a sweet-tooth, I had to do some lookin' to fin' somet'ing yo' t'ought was wort' de trouble of snatchin'."
****** ****** ******
Xavier was surprised when Remy appeared in his office the next morning without prompting. "So you've decided to allow me to help with your nightmares?" he asked.
"Non," Remy said. "Jus' t'ought yo' should know 'm gonna visit wid m' family for a few months. Jean-Luc got a call las' night an' we're leavin' dis afternoon."
"What about Sinister?" Xavier asked. "You won't be protected."
Remy shrugged, unconcerned. "Took him a'most two years to fin' me las' time. Probably would have been longer if I hadn' gotten in de fight wid Silvermane's people. I'll be dere an' back 'fore Essex knows what be up."
"I can't approve of this," Xavier said. "You will be placing everyone near you in danger."
"An' I wasn' when I stayed wid de Denaras?" Remy asked sarcastically. " 'Sides, I didn' ask your permission, jus' told yo' what 'm doin'. Told Jean-Luc 'bout Essex, he t'ink I be worth de risk an' mebbe he more capable of dealin' wid t'ings like dat den yo' givin' him credit for."

More Talk, Fewer Languages: Communicating in a Connected World: Will the "Language of the Future" Be Chinese or English or Both? an International Studies Researcher Looks at How Modernization and Globalization Challenge Linguistic Diversity
Copper, John F., The Futurist
There are around 7,000 languages in the world. Some experts say the number is larger; others, lower. All languages are being challenged by modernization and globalization such that their futures are very different from their pasts--and very different from one another. To make sense of this looking forward, the world's languages may be put into one of three categories.
One category is the disappearing languages. According to National Geographic magazine, one language disappears every 14 days. Most experts anticipate that half of the languages in existence today will be gone by the end of the century. Earthday projects 90%.
This process has been going on for some time. Of the more than 500 languages spoken in North America before the Europeans arrived, more than half are now extinct. More than 300 languages in gi India have disappeared in the last 60 years. In 2003, the U.K. newspaper The Independent reported that 90% of the languages on the planet have fewer than 100,000 speakers, and more than 350 languages have fewer than 50 speakers. British ecologist William Sutherland has shown that languages are becoming extinct faster than animal species.
The languages that are currently disappearing are mainly languages that are not written, are spoken by only a small number (usually declining) of people, or their demise is not being noticed. They are being affected more immediately than other languages by the rapid changes going on in the world.
* Those who record their endangered spoken languages are saving some from extinction. Writing dictionaries and grammar books also preserves them. This, however, depends on someone taking an interest and having the time and money to do it.
PracticalIg Speaking
A second category of languages are those that are declining in use in business and science. These languages are also waning rapidly in importance overall, and there is little or no chance that they will ever become an international or universal language.
Included in this group are the languages spoken in countries with small populations. Some are modern and well-to-do countries, such as Denmark, Sweden, Hungary, and most other European countries. In these countries, educated citizens and especially those employed in commerce or science and technology cannot rely on their own languages to pursue their professions. They must gain fluency in a more important language. Speakers of these languages also find there are few books, movies, and other cultural enjoyments in their languages.
This category also includes some larger countries, and even countries where the language has been recognized as one of the official languages by the United Nations, such as French. French is not used widely anymore in business or science. Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, and German all fit into this group, as well, though their fading utility and importance is not so apparent.
Some of these languages even boast a growing number of speakers or retain a special importance in some ways. Arabic, for example, is important to those in the oil business, and its speakers are sought by various national intelligence agencies. Spanish and Portuguese are essential to do business in Latin America.
Some of the languages in category two will fade from usage much faster than others. But all lack the potential to grow to become what some call a commanding language.
The Languages of Tomorrow
The third category of languages includes those growing in use in business and in science and technology. There are only two: Chinese and English. For this reason, Chinese and English may be called essential or vital languages. They will be the critical or universal languages of the future.
One unfortunate--but hardly surprising--effect of the global spread of information technology is that humanity is communicating far more, but seemingly with much less linguistic diversity than we were just a few decades ago. …

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
No. Light has been flashing about an hour
Warm but not particularly hot.
How can I tell if the fan is running? (unless that is the humming noise)
Well, the good news is that the light stopped flashing. Nevertheless, I went ahead with checking the inside and found the back to be slightly frosty but not icy.
Then about a minute later, the red light started flashing again, and still is.
The machine was bought nearly 3 years ago and it has been full of food since then so I would not know what is involved in removal of the rear internal panel.

Fitness boot camps offer an opportunity to build your strength and endurance. But make sure you know what to expect before marching into boot camp.
Just as the armed forces are experimenting with changes to boot camp, such as adding exercises similar to those performed in yoga or Pilates, fitness buffs are signing up for boot camp workouts modeled on old-school military training. What's the appeal of a boot camp workout? Building strength, endurance and agility to conquer your daily routine. But are you up to the challenge?
Boot camp workouts can vary but generally include a fairly intense mix of strength training and aerobic elements. One boot camp workout might stress calisthenics while another stresses military-style drills.
In most cases, you can expect to do calisthenics, such as pullups, pushups, lunges and crunches, as well as drills and sprints. In essence, a boot camp workout is a type of interval training — bursts of intense activity alternated with intervals of lighter activity.
The goal of a fitness boot camp is to provide a whole-body workout that builds strength and endurance. Boot camp workouts also attract many people because they:

NASCAR Tells Jr., Jimmie & Pals To Cool It: Use Technology To Go S-L-O-W-E-RFebruary 15, 2011
SATIRE—How fast is too fast? NASCAR officials believe the 206-mile-per-hour-plus speeds achieved Saturday in the Budweiser Shootout were over the top, so they've mandated cooling system restrictions to the cars, designed to decrease the amount of time competitors could pair up for speed-increasing drafting.
As a result, competing crews had just two days to apply all their high-tech tools and test gear to make their cars go slower.
The move prompted many observers to point out that it wasn't too long ago that the idea behind racing was to use advanced technology to make the cars go faster.
"That's old-school thinking," said Jake Hillebrand, NASCAR's Director of Deceleration. "We need to slow these cars down to make things a little less exciting. Many of our fans have heart conditions, you know."
Why Slower Is Better
The official indicated that NASCAR has a bottom line in mind when it comes to speed.
"We figure with the technology that's currently available, we can have these cars racing at 55 mph within a season or two," Hillebrand said. "That's a speed the average fan can relate to."
Hillebrand pointed to other advantages to making the cars go slower.
"Fans will be getting more for their money because at that speed 500 mile events will take at least 10 hours to complete," he said. "And at 55, we will be burning a lot less Sunoco racing fuel. That's good for the environment."
Until NASCAR achieves the ultimate in racing sluggishness, it is considering some temporary measures to slow down the action.
"Instead of a flagman, we can have a school crossing guard at the start/finish line," Hildebrand said.
"Another idea is to install those speed cameras at the end of every straightaway," the NASCAR official added. "And we can have a Highway Patrol car pulling over drivers at random, just like they do in real life."
Happy Hookups
Finally, Hillebrand revealed NASCAR's ultimate solution to the problem of one-on-one drafting.
"Starting next season we are going to hook a 34-foot Airstream travel trailer to the back bumper of every car," he said. "Not only will that slow them down. We can sell the inside of each trailer as an On Track VIP Suite.
"That's an idea that follows the 3Rs of NASCAR: Rules, Revenue and Regression."

LONDON (AP) — The FA Cup produced goals rather than shocks, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Wigan scoring four times each Sunday to knock out lower-league opponents.
Held to a 2-2 tie by third-tier Brentford three weeks ago, Chelsea got second-half goals from Juan Mata, Oscar, Frank Lampard and John Terry to win its fourth-round replay 4-0. Lampard's goal was his 199th for the Blues, three behind the club record set by Bobby Tambling from 1959-70.
Chelsea will play at Middlesbrough on Feb. 27 to decide who plays the winner of Monday's match between Manchester United and Reading.
Manchester City defeated second-tier Leeds 4-0 and advanced to a quarterfinal against Barnsley. After Yaya Toure scored five minutes in, Sergio Aguero converted a penalty kick, then helped set up Carlos Tevez's second-half goal and scored the finale.
Wigan beat second-tier Huddersfield 4-1 as Arouna Kone scored twice and Callum McManaman and James McArthur had one goal each, and it will play Everton or Oldham. Millwall meets Blackburn, guaranteeing there will be a second-tier club in the semifinals at Wembley Stadium in April.
In the weekend's only Premier League game, Liverpool routed Swansea 5-0. Philippe Coutinho, Jose Enrique and Luis Suarez scored between successful penalty kicks by Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge.
Liverpool (10-8-9) moved into seventh place, two points ahead of the Swans (9-8-10).
MILAN (AP) — Napoli missed the chance to cut Juventus' Serie A lead to two points when it was held to a 0-0 tie by visiting Sampdoria.
Juventus (17-4-4) lost 1-0 at Roma on Saturday and has 55 points, four more than Napoli (15-4-6).
Fiorentina hosted fifth-place Inter Milan in the late game.
BERLIN (AP) — Nuremberg substitute Sebastian Polter scored off a cross from American defender Timmy Chandler in the second minute of second-half injury time for a 2-2 draw against Hannover in the Bundesliga.
Stuttgart ended its five-game losing streak with a 1-0 win at Hoffenheim.

Carolina Panthers
Carolina's offensive didn't live up to expectations in 2005, but it's ripe with promise in 2006. Former Titans C Justin Hartwig is an upgrade over four-year starter Jeff Mitchell in a move that should help to shore up the line's uninspiring run blocking. Pro Bowl LG Mike Wahle hasn't missed a game in seven years and keeps getting better. Tackle Jordan Gross – the team's No. 1 pick three seasons ago – played well after moving back to the right side from the left side. 16-game starter Travelle Wharton returns at left tackle, and Evan Mathis is expected to win the right guard spot that opened when Tutan Reyes' departed for Buffalo. Third-round pick T Rashad Butler (Miami) will help, but it will be a couple of years before he cracks the starting unit.
Cincinnati Bengals
All five starters return along an line that was among the league's best in 2005. The Bengals didn't stand pat, however, and grabbed T Andrew Whitworth (LSU) with their second-round pick. Whitworth won't unseat Pro Bowl RT Willie Anderson this year, but he's the team's future should the club opt to not re-sign Anderson after the season. The rest of the line includes up-and-coming tackle Levi Jones and guard Eric Steinbach, along with stalwarts G Bobbie Williams and 36-year-old C Rich Braham. Among the bunch, only Williams is looking over his shoulder as Scott Kooistra impressed coaches in limited duty last season.
Denver Broncos
Per the norm, the Broncos have few question marks along their line heading into the season. Denver returns all five starting linemen, including RT George Foster, RG Cooper Carlisle, C Tom Nalen, LG Ben Hamilton and LT Matt Lepsis – all of whom started in every game in 2005 and comprised one of the most successful units in the league. The Broncos did add rookie G Chris Kuper (North Dakota) and C Greg Eslinger (Minnesota) with their fifth- and sixth-round picks, respectively. On paper, both rookies fit the mold of a Denver offensive lineman, but neither is likely to see a great deal of action in 2006.
Indianapolis Colts
Thanks in part to the restructuring of the contracts of LT Tarik Glenn and Pro Bowl C Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis will return five offensive linemen who combined to start 78 of 80 games in 2005. Glenn's re-signing came as a minor surprise as many people expected the Colts to shore up their run blocking via free agency, and Glenn was a primary culprit in the team's struggles a year ago. They will be joined by RT Ryan Diem, RG Jake Scott and LG Ryan Lilja as starters for a new-look offense preparing to experience life without Edgerrin James.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs much-heralded OL is finally getting long in the tooth. Aging LT Willie Roaf is far from a lock to play in all 16 games anymore, so the team signed well-traveled G Ian Allen to boost its depth at guard and tackle. Allen's signing may allow fourth-year T Jordan Black to switch to guard, a move that will minimize his greatest weakness (speed) while maximizing his skills as a pass protector. RG Will Shields enters his 14th season having started in every game 12 seasons in a row, and John Welbourn, who has averaged only 11 games played the past four seasons, returns at right tackle. Other returning starters include Casey Wiegmann at center and Brian Waters at left guard, both of whom started all 16 games in 2005. If this unit can stay young enough and healthy enough for one more year, it should once again be among the best in the NFL.
New England Patriots
The Patriots' re-signed their best run blocker, G Stephen Neal, to lock up most of the offensive line long-term. Neal and Logan Mankins should be one of the best guard tandems in the NFL. Starting LT Matt Light (broken right leg) and C Dan Koppen (shoulder) are healthy again, and Nick Kaczur is favored to supplant Brandon Gorin at right guard. Kaczur's performance as a rookie in 2005 eased the loss of former starter Tom Ashworth to Seattle. New England enhanced its depth by landing a tremendous value pick with G Ryan O'Callaghan (California) in the fifth round. You know Tom Brady will be steady, but an uncertain running game will be too much to overcome if the 2006 version of the line suffers a rash of injuries similar to a year ago.
New York Giants
The Giants' impressive line returns intact with a good chance to be even better in 2006. The starting five of RT Kareem McKenzie, RG Chris Snee, C Shaun O'Hara, LG David Diehl and LT Luke Petitgout combined to start 77 of 80 games a year ago and comprised an upper-level unit in both the running and passing game. Promising G Rich Seubert returns from a potential career-ending leg injury in 2003 and could press either Snee or Diehl for a starting job at either guard position.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers' quiet offseason may make for a boring story, but it's the best-case scenario for the defending champs. The greatest unknown heading into the offseason was whether or not the team would be able to keep both All-Pro C Jeff Hartings and backup C Chukky Okobi. Thanks in part to Hartings' willingness to have his contract restructured, both players return to the Steel City in 2006. The rest of the OL consists of RT Max Starks, RG Kendall Simmons, LG Alan Faneca and LT Marvel Smith. Fourth-round draft pick T Willie Colon will boost the depth of a unit that should continue to have few peers.
San Diego Chargers
Philip Rivers is in as the new starting QB, and he'll play behind an experienced OL that for all intents and purposes returns intact. In their biggest OL-related offseason move, the Chargers re-signed their prize young guard, Kris Dielman. Left tackle and 11-year veteran Roman Oben (foot) should be back to full-strength by the season opener, and until then second-round pick Marcus McNeil and Leander Jordan will compete for the starting job at what could be the line's weakest area. Right tackle may be up for grabs, too, as Corey Lekkerkerker spent more time with the first team in the spring than did incumbent starter Shane Olivea. Olivea followed up a strong rookie season in 2004 by showing marginal improvement in 2005.
Seattle Seahawks
It's hard to believe that the Seahawks lost one of the best guards in the league, yet they're poised to not miss a beat in 2006. Steve Hutchinson bolted to the Vikings, but coaches are confident that Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack can step into Hutchinson's role at guard and not miss a beat. If Womack falters, fourth-round pick Rob Sims (Ohio State) may be ready to challenge him for the starting spot. The Seahawks' best move may have been to sign former Patriots guard Tom Ashworth, a sturdy blue collar-type who continues to improve and who could end up starting at guard or tackle if others don't cut it. Not to be forgotten is steady veteran G Walter Jones, who has missed only three of the team's games over the past eight years.
Arizona Cardinals
New offensive line coach Steve Loney will attempt to do what hasn't been done in recent memory: build a respectable OL in Arizona. In 2005, the Cardinals held the dubious distinctions of gaining fewer yards per carry (3.01) than all of their peers and by surrendering more sacks (45) than all but eight teams in the NFL. Second-round draft picks G Taitusi Lutui (USC) and recently-signed Milford Brown (ex-Texans) should start at right and left guard, respectively. Brown was considered something of a bust with the Texans, but Cardinals coaches seem to believe they can fix his bad habits. Versatile Reggie Wells will move to center, and the rest of the line looks solid on paper with Leonard Davis and Oliver Ross handling tackle duties. Ross is healthy after missing much of last season.
Chicago Bears
Injuries hampered what was an otherwise respectable performance by the offensive line in 2005. All five starters return healthy in 2006, including RT Fred Miller, RG Terrence Metcalf, C Olin Kreutz, LG Ruben Brown and LT John Tait. G/C Roberto Garza, who earned the most injury-related playing time at the guard positions in 2005, will push Metcalf for the starting right guard spot. Tait and Miller are locked into the starting tackle positions, but depth will be an issue if either goes down for an extended period of time.
Cleveland Browns
The Browns took two very needed steps in the right direction by signing former Saint and two-time Pro Bowl C LeCharles Bentley and former Falcon LT Kevin Shaffer. Bentley provides an upgrade over former center Jeff Faine, who departed for New Orleans. RT Ryan Tucker, RG Cosey Coleman and LG Joe Andruzzi all return to round out the starting five. The Browns could have helped themselves by finding a quality right tackle in the draft, but all-in-all this unit looks much better on paper than it did a year ago.
Houston Texans
It's a minor miracle that QB David Carr can take the field without the help of a walker given the beating he's taken in his first four years in the league. The Texans upgraded immensely by selecting T/G Charles Spencer (Pittsburgh) and T Eric Winston (Miami) in the third round. Both Spencer and Winston could start immediately at left guard and right tackle, respectively. The Texans also signed former Packers Pro Bowl C Mike Flanagan, which will facilitate the move of former center Steve McKinney to guard. Meanwhile, fourth-year T Seth Wand, who was in the doghouse with the former coaching staff, has been given new life and is being projected as a starter on the left side.
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings overhauled their offensive line with the key acquisition being former Seahawk all-world G Steve Hutchinson. Hutchinson's presence on the left side will be a boon to the development of LT Bryant McKinnie. On the right side, second-year tackle Marcus Johnson appears ready to build on a promising rookie campaign now that he will be locked into RT instead of moving around from RT to RG to RT like he did in his rookie season. Former Eagle Artis Hicks has an edge over incumbent Adam Goldberg for the starting spot at right guard. Very good line play is a must to prevent the Vikings from going from a fantasy goldmine to a fantasy wasteland in two short seasons.
New York Jets
Prior to the draft, the Jets' offensive line looked suspect, at best. However, the Jets looked over more glamorous picks and selected T D'Brickashaw Ferguson (Virginia) with the No. 4 overall selection and C Nick Mangold (Ohio State) with the 29th overall pick. Ferguson should play immediately on the left side, while T Adrian Jones will move to the right side. Meanwhile, Mangold will compete with free agent signee Trey Teague for the starting center spot. C/G Pete Kendall will move to his more natural position of guard and Brandon Moore is currently slated to start at right guard. On paper, it's a huge and much-needed upgrade for an offense with an aging feature back in Curtis Martin and oft-injured (Chad Pennington) and uninspiring (Patrick Ramsey) QBs.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have positioned themselves to field one of the league's most improved lines thanks to the signing of 10-time Pro Bowl guard Larry Allen (cut by Dallas) and the anticipated returns of LT Jonas Jennings and two-time Pro Bowl C Jeremy Newberry. It would be hard for the team to not improve on a disastrous 2005 season in which they ranked at or near the bottom of the league in most offensive categories. Allen will help to keep second-year QB Alex Smith on his feet, and Jennings – the team's big free agent acquisition in 2005 – joins Allen on the left side after missing 13 of 16 games last year with a shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Newberry had knee surgery in the winter and is expected to be 100 percent when the regular season arrives. Depth remains a concern, but this line can be adequate or better if it can stay healthy.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Carnell Williams owners must love the changes on the OL in 2006. The Buccaneers' youth movement continued with the selections of G Davin Joseph (Oklahoma) in the first round and OT Jeremy Trueblood (Boston College) with a great value pick in the second round. Joseph was widely considered to be the best guard in the draft and is projected to start at right guard. Meanwhile, Sean Mahan may move to center, where he'll compete with incumbent John Wade. The team also signed G Toniu Fonoti, a former second-round pick who weighed about 400 pounds last season while on the IR and who should compete for a starting role. T Anthony Davis, a bright spot on the line at left tackle last season, reported to camp 25 pounds lighter and may move to guard. LT Kenyatta Walker's starting days may be over as the youngsters will be given every chance to win the starting job.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons filled a major need with their draft day trade for 35-year-old T Wayne Gandy (ex-New Orleans). C Todd McClure, who remains a steady presence in the middle, will be backed ably by Austin King. Starting RT Todd Weiner is healthy following a difficult 2005 season in which he dealt with numerous injuries. The jury is still out on backups T Frank Omiyale, G Ben Claxton and G Chris McGee, and they'll need to step up their play to prevent depth from being a big issue in 2006.
Baltimore Ravens
Veteran T Orlando Brown was released, and a youth movement is underway led by second-round pick C/G Chris Chester (Oklahoma), who will provide an immediate boost at either guard or center. Promising T Tony Pashos is the projected starter on the right side, but he'll be pushed by equally-promising Adam Terry. RG Keydrick Vincent returns healthy, and C Mike Flynn and LT Jonathan Ogden – both 16-game starters in 2005 – round out the starting five. Don't expect drastic improvement, but this line has exciting potential.
Miami Dolphins
Heralded offensive line coach Hudson Houck squeezed a lot out of an offensive line that had more questions that answers heading into the 2005 season. The Dolphins' biggest addition on the line was the signing of free agent tackle L.J. Shelton (Cleveland), who revived his career with the Browns last year following a disappointing tenure with the Cardinals. Shelton and Damion McIntosh should compete for the left tackle position. Miami also resigned C Seth McKinney, which will prevent starting G Rex Hadnot from switching to center. Gs Vernon Carey and Jeno James should round out the starting five. A marginally better performance can be expected from an OL that was barely among the top half of the league in 2005.
Oakland Raiders
This may be the year that the Raiders' OL finally looks as good on the field as it does on paper. A domino effect is in place as the coaching staff has moved stud T Robert Gallery to the left side, which will allow T/G Barry Sims to line up at left guard. Meanwhile, former LG Brad Badger should inherit the right guard spot vacated upon the team's release of Ron Stone, and a healthy Langston Walker will replace Gallery at right tackle. The only position that keeps its starter is center, where Jake Grove will remain the man in the middle.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles will return only two offensive linemen who started in more than eight games in 2005. As has become their custom, the team used the draft to make significant upgrades along their OL. The selection of T Winston Justice (USC) in the second round was considered something of a steal, and the team also chose G Max Jean-Gilles (Georgia) in the fourth round to bolster the interior. Though Justice could start immediately for many teams, he'll provided much-needed depth for starting tackles Jon Runyan and Tra Thomas.
Washington Redskins
Like the rest of the team, the Redskins' OL was the picture of mediocrity for much of the 2005 season before gelling down the stretch. Four of five offensive linemen started in all 16 games last season, and four starters return following the retirement of 20-year veteran RG Ray Brown. Back in the fold are RT Jon Jansen, C Casey Rabach, LG Derrick Dockery and LT Chris Samuels, and it remains unclear who will replace Brown at right guard. Rabach was a disappointment in 2005, but he did play with a torn labrum.
Buffalo Bills
Suffice it to say the Bills' biggest acquisition on the line may not be their best. Buffalo signed 6'7", 370-pound Aaron Gibson, who is hoping to revive his career minus about 30 pounds (he used to play at more than 400). The 1999 first-round draft pick has played in only four games the past two seasons, including zero in 2005. Gibson will back up the Bills' best offensive lineman in RT Jason Peters. Left tackle appears to be set with Mike Gandy, and Buffalo's other free agent acquisition was former Panther G Tutan Reyes. Reyes will compete with veteran Bennie Anderson and second-year player Duke Preston for the starting left guard spot. Surprisingly, the Bills did little to bolster their line via the draft while selecting three offensive linemen on the second day that are projects. At a glance, it appears that Buffalo's RBs, QBs and WRs will have similarly trying seasons in 2006.
Detroit Lions
The Lions didn't have injuries as an excuse in 2005 – they were simply ineffective. As a result, they were one of the most active teams in the free agent market. The team signed G Rex Tucker, G Barry Stokes, T Courtney VanBuren and T Ross Verba. Verba is slated to become the new left guard though he could challenge Kelly Butler for the right tackle spot. Meanwhile, Tucker, a former Bear who returned from two years of injuries to play eight games for the Rams in 2005, has an outside chance to supplant DeMulling at LG. Stokes and VanBuren should provide much-needed depth. The remainder of the OL includes the unit's most consistent performers: RG Damien Woody, C Dominic Raiola and LT Jeff Backus.
Tennessee Titans
The Titans signed Pro Bowl C Kevin Mawae, which should ease the team's loss of departed C Justin Hartwig to the Panthers. What the rest of the line lacks in star power, it may make up for in consistency. RT Michael Roos, RG Benji Olson and LG Zach Piller each started 16 games last season, and with LT Brad Hopkins' retirement looming Roos will move to the left side. Meanwhile, third-year G Jacob Bell has the advantage over second-year players David Stewart and Daniel Loper to take over Roos' vacated spot at right tackle. The Titans appear to be heading in the right direction, but don't expect great strides in bettering the unit's lackluster performance from a year ago.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys fielded one of the worst lines in the NFL last season, and the team took a number of steps to upgrade the unit that protects immobile QB Drew Bledsoe. Dallas signed former Jet T Jason Fabini and former Lion T Kyle Kosier to compete with Rob Petitti for the starting right tackle spot. Though Petitti shows promise, he allowed a league-high 13 sacks in 2005 and struggled after LT Flozell Adams got hurt. Fortunately, both Adams and aging RG Marco Rivera (neck) return to full health in 2006.
Green Bay Packers
One gets the feeling things could get worse for Brett Favre and the Packers before they get better. The offense couldn't overcome the loss of starting guards Mike Wahle and Marco Rivera prior to the 2005 season, and now the team must deal with the defection of free agent C Mike Flanagan to the Texans. Help is on the way, but it may not arrive by the time Favre retires. Second-round pick T/G Daryn Colledge (Boise State), who will have every chance to win the job at left guard over fellow draft pick Jason Spitz (Louisville) and returning players Adrian Klemm and Will Whitticker. Meanwhile, second-year G Junius Coston turned heads at minicamps and may line up opposite Colledge at the other guard spot. Whitticker and Klemm, who struggled as starters last season, may end up with backup roles. G/C Scott Wells is the logical choice to fill the void left by Flanagan at center, but it remains to be seen if he can handle the job. Tackle Chad Clifton is slated to start at left tackle, but following knee and ankle surgery in the offseason his return to full health is still in question. The youngsters will have to learn fast to prevent a repeat of the unit's disappointing performance in 2005.
Jacksonville Jaguars
How the Jaguars may improve a sub-par offensive line by doing virtually nothing via free agency or the draft is a true mystery. Perhaps the biggest addition to the OL is new assistant head coach Mike Tice, who coached five different offensive linemen to 10 Pro Bowl appearances during his tenure with the Vikings. Tice's biggest project may be former No. 4 overall pick Mike Williams, who the Jaguars signed in March. Williams was plagued by injuries and his weight during his disappointing four-year tenure in Buffalo, and he'll back up Maurice Williams and Khalif Barnes at the tackle positions. Promising G Vince Manuwai was re-signed to a one-year deal, and C Dennis Norman, RG Chris Naeole and LG Vince Manuwai should round out the first unit.
New Orleans Saints
New Orleans took a bit hit with the departure of LeCharles Bentley in free agency to the Browns and with the team's draft day trade of LT Wayne Gandy to the Falcons. The Saints tried to recover by drafting OT Jahri Evans (Bloomsburg, PA) in the fourth round and by making a draft day trade with Cleveland for C Jeff Faine. 2005 first-round pick Jammal Brown will spell Gandy on the left side, where coaches believe he'll be at his best. Jon Stinchcomb is listed as the Saints' No. 1 right tackle despite playing in only 10 games in his first three seasons and none in 2005 with a knee injury.
St. Louis Rams
It's hard to field an offensive line with bookends the quality of Orlando Pace and Alex Barron and produce sub-par results, but the Rams did just that in 2005. Pace and Barron return in 2006, but the problem is, so does the rest of the 2005 version of the line that struggled to produce a running game and allowed 46 takedowns of various Rams QBs. LG Claude Terrell, who was a pleasant surprise in 2005, gained a lot of weight following offseason wrist surgery and may be pushed for the starting spot by 13-year veteran T Todd Steussie. Steussie, who represents the team's most exciting acquisition, was originally signed to back up any of the four tackle or guard positions. Meanwhile, G Adam Timmerman (knee) and C Andy McCollum (shoulder, knee) are both expected back at full health once the season begins. New offensive line coach Paul Boudreau has his hands full with a near-copy of last year's disappointing unit, and a banged-up one at that.

Different personalities/interests?
How do you ladies reconcile the issues when you have vastly different interests than your children, and they really despise your activities?
I ask because ds wants to go to Disneyland this year, which is fine, and to save money/get experience, we'll be driving and camping along the way. Ds is 5, and really isn't into camping. He's a hotel kinda guy, and has been balking at the idea of being outside for 10 nights as we travel. We've talked about the fact that if we stay in hotels, we can't afford to even make the trip, and he's alright with that, but he doesn't want to walk around and explore the area while we're there. I can't leave him alone to go explore by myself, and there are no other adults that are willing to come with us (I'm single, his dad has no interest in him other than his every two weeks).
I could just say okay, and stay in our tent the whole time, but I've never been that far from home, and I doubt I will get to go back, and I'm frustrated.
How do you handle these things?
No one in our home was ever allowed to monopolize the activities with their personal preferences.
I would save up until I could afford the kind of trip that is suitable to everyone: alternate camping nights with hotel nights ... or camping there and hotelling back. Or fly down and back and save the camping for a different trip (the difference in gas cost may actually make it so the stay in the hotel isn't the dealbreaker...)
Strangely, the idea of asking kids how they wanted to travel was never on our mental agenda: we told them when we were going camping, and when we were doing to Disneyland --not the other way 'round. Of course, they got to Disney once, but we camped pretty much every year... much, much closer to home.

"I'm just going to take this off," said Floyd Blake scraping the glue off a doll's head. "It's going to take a minute."
For 27 years, Blake has been known as the "Parkland Doll Doctor". He calls his dolls patients. His garage is the hospital. His workshop is the operating room.
"I repair the heads on them, the arms, the legs, and the body," said Blake. "I've done thousands of dolls in my lifetime, and I know what I'm doing."
Some of his surgeries can be tricky.
"I put eyes on dolls," said Blake. "You have to go inside the head, cut all the way around it, remove the eyes completely and put the new ones right in."
Blake has some health issues. He's recovering from hip replacement surgery and a broken heart.
"A few years ago, my girlfriend passed away," said Blake. "We were together for 15 years, and I had to, you know, handle the estate. And I went over and I brought 350 boxes here and I opened up this doll museum and everything you see here, this is kind of like a 're-memory' of her."
Blake's museum is wall to wall dolls.
"No, the dolls do not talk to me," said Blake. They look at you. Some occasions when mom comes in with their little child, the child will cry."

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser in Phoenix
With the news that Alex Rodriguez is out until May with a hip injury, I called a Yankees beat writer and asked if he thought New York might have interest in the very available Bobby Crosby and he said he thought Crosby would probably at least be on their list of possibilities. He might not take much to get, and the Yankees are one of the few teams who could absorb Crosby's $5.25 million salary (or most of it) without blinking.
The A's players, by the way, think if Crosby gets traded, his new team could be getting a good deal. Everyone in the clubhouse thinks that Crosby is primed for a good year after revamping his swing with Mark McGwire. He's got a lot to prove, too, and he's obviously pretty ticked.
It was sort of a strange scene in the clubhouse this morning, with Crosby's replacement, Orlando Cabrera, wandering in just before the A's went out on the field, Crosby watching as Cabrera headed to the training room for his physical. Mark Ellis said he thought it might be an awkward situation, and it did feel awkward. Crosby is a popular guy in the clubhouse, and whatever the circumstances, I think everyone feels for him.
**UPDATE** Crosby's made two errors in the first three innings today and he hit into an inning-ending double play. Is he rattled by Cabrera's arrival? Is his focus off because of his demotion to the bench? Or is it just a bad day?
**UPDATE TWO: Crosby just drove in Oakland's second run with a single to center in the third inning.
**FINAL UPDATE** I just spoke to Crosby and he said it was a simple matter of sitting back on two balls and then having to rush and airmailing the throws. Nothing to do with his personal situation, he said his head was totally in the game.
Some other quick notes: Daric Barton thinks he'll miss four or five days with a tight quadriceps, something he did coming out of the box on a check-swing yesterday, and Eric Chavez told me he thinks he'll play in the field on Monday.
South Africa is here playing the A's split-squad team and the very young WBC squad was all excited to see Jason Giambi. But Giambi's not here, he's at Scottsdale with the Giants. Two of them looked pretty crushed when they heard that.
Apparently at Tempe against the Angels yesterday, the South African players clapped as they watched Vlad Guerrero take batting practice. That's a breach of protocol, sure, but it's also kind of refreshing. It's a wide-eyed bunch, very enthusiastic. Their manager, A's minor-league manager Rick Magnante, said this year's squad is much better than the 2006 bunch, with 11 players who are playing in the minors or scheduled to do so this year.
They led the Angels 6-5 in the fifth yesterday, by the way, before losing 13-6.

US Open Rooster Guy Andrew James Dudley is off the hook. Much to the chagrin of Bob Costas and NBC, Dudley will not face any charges because all he did was "make a bird noise," according to police.
Dudley was not arrested for disturbing the interview but was held in a police station drunk tank after officers determined he was inebriated, said Albie Esparza, a police spokesman. Dudley was released when he sobered up.
Police did not arrest Dudley, concluding he did nothing illegal, Esparza said.
"There is no trespassing, since he had a ticket to be there," Esparza said. "All he did was go on the green of the 18th hole and make a bird noise."
What animal noise will we hear at the PGA Championship in August? I'm already giddy at the thought of Jim Nantz's reaction to some guy mooing like a cow after
Tiger Woods some random wins the title. [SF Gate via Andrew]

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan to reduce recidivism by giving taxpayer-funded college educations to convicts is an awful idea but, there is a taxpayer-friendly way to achieve the same goal.
With scarce resources and a crushing level of taxation, it is impossible to justify higher education for felons as a priority that warrants state funding. New Yorkers who have stayed on the right side of the law save, borrow and work side jobs to pay for college. New Yorkers should not be forced to put those who have committed crimes in a better position than those who haven't.
That said, cutting recidivism by educating prisoners is a worthy goal. There is strong evidence doing so saves taxpayers money over the long run. Presently, higher education in prison is achieving these aims on a limited scale through not-for-profits. In fact, Cuomo said his plan for taxpayer funded college education was inspired by the not-for-profit program run by Bard College. Unfortunately, Cuomo jumped right to involuntary taxation to expand the programs, rather than voluntary private contributions.
Expansion of the not-for-profit model should be the objective. Hudson Link, for example, is a not-for-profit started in 1998 when federal and state funding for prison education ceased. The organization has expanded to other prisons in the Hudson Valley. Hudson Link enjoys the support of Steve Forbes, Warren Buffet, actor Tim Robbins and other wealthy individuals.
Rather than asking New York taxpayers to fund this program on top of their own bills, the governor should have used his bully pulpit and his Rolodex to seek private funds to expand prison education programs. If the conversation had been about driving private donations to a program that will save taxpayers money by reducing recidivism, we'd be significantly closer to that goal than we are now.
Moreover, Cuomo is a great fundraiser. At a single event last month, he raised $600,000 from Hollywood big shots for a re-election campaign that's already at more than $33 million. Cuomo should ask his progressive political base to put some of their money where their mouths are and help rehabilitate inmates and reduce state spending.
Corrections savings are there, if policymakers have the will to look for them.
If we can reduce prison spending by 10 percent, I support closing any gap in funding not covered by philanthropic contributions by offering student loans to prisoners. Because felons are not good credit risks, we'd have to garnish a percentage of their wages to pay taxpayers back.
The loan is important. It teaches prisoners responsibility. It says they're not just entitled to this, they have to work for it. That will do more to cut recidivism than any handout.
Sixty percent of college students finance their education through loans. Why should a felon avoid education debt?
Any plan, whether funded by nonprofits or loans, should exclude murders, rapists and those who commit crimes against children. Herman Bell is a notorious 1970s-era cop killer who has admitted to killing NYPD officers execution-style. Over the years, taxpayers paid for him to get a bachelor's and master's degrees despite his heinous crime and life sentence.Read Full Article
Currently up for parole, Bell is using his taxpayer-funded education to persuade the parole board to set him free. This scenario is revolting and should never be repeated, regardless of how the program gets funded.
Our state's economy is a mess, in large part because for decades politicians found it easier to put the taxpayer on the hook rather than look for alternatives. New Yorkers are struggling with crushing taxes and rising higher education costs.
The worthy goal of reducing recidivism can be accomplished without further burdening taxpayers or giving felonious graduates an advantage over those who have obeyed the law.
Kieran Michael Lalor is a state assemblyman, representing Dutchess County.

Indifferent lawyers are costing firms and the environment millions a year by showing a lack of interest in green practices in the office, according to research from Banner Business Services, one of the UK's largest stationery suppliers.
Banner surveyed 1,000 lawyers about their environmentally friendly habits at work. The results showed there is still work to do in convincing them to make green choices in the workplace.
The survey has revealed:
· 29.1 per cent of PAs still fail to print on both sides of A4 paper
· 17.6 per cent do not recycle at work even if they have the facilities
· 60 per cent print over 20 sheets a day, most of which are binned
Richard Costin, managing director of Banner Business Services, said:
"It's encouraging to see 89 per cent of lawyers have recycling facilities but there's still a low uptake of staff using them. 62 per cent of lawyers want a greener work place but they need to practice what they preach. One way to do this is to elect a recycling champion – 65 per cent of workplaces don't have one."
"Partners need to lead by example in order to convince staff of the environmental and cost saving benefits of printing on both sides of paper, recycling all paper goods and limiting printing. "
Ruth Shearn, managing director of RMS PR, said:
"We have lots of recycling bins dotted around the office, a policy to print on both sides of sheets of paper, switching off lights if not essential and a recycling champion. However it's still tough to get everyone to be green all the time. It needs to become second nature to employees and this involves a mind change."
Banner Business Services is committed to producing green solutions for business and has developed the award winning Closed Loop process – the fully audited recycling service that sees waste paper shredded and recycled before being returned to its original 'owner'.

Cinnamon my foot! This clearly smells like some cheap alternative of cinnamon. People who say this is Cinnamon oil have never bought pure cinnamon essential oil clearly. It stinks and has this smokey smell. I wanted to use it to plump my lips and God damn it, the smell lingered on for a few hours. Never suggest buying this. Save a little more, buy nykaa's own cinnamon oil or soulflower's or Kama Ayurveda's. Not this please.

I have very thin and I read that cinnamon essential oil helps plumps lips. So I decided to give it a try. I added a few drops to my lip balm and mixed it well. It does sting when you apply it, but it does plump your lips!! I was pretty happy with the results. Regular use helps to increase the lip size in the long run is what I've read l.

Its very potent smell gives the whole room a refreshing and relaxing feel to it. You can add a few drops to your bath water as well to help you relax.
I purchased the product because I love the smell of cinnamon, however, this smells more of a spiced container being opened. The smell of cinnamon was absent. All I could smell was clove, which, according to me does not have a pleasant whiff.

Currently in closed alpha, it lets TV watchers note what they're watching and share with others, Foursquare style. No word on what being "mayor" of Chuck gets you (if it's not a discount at Subway we'll be disappointed) but the idea is to be able to keep an eye on what's trending amongst the larger pool of viewers or just your friends (who, presumably, have similar tastes. Of course there's Facebook and Twitter integration, and an iPhone app will be available when the beta launches in the next few weeks.

For the second time in two months, a suspicious fire has burned the Mendenhall Valley home of Dusty and Cheriess Weich.
Firefighters received a call about 12:15 p.m. Monday that the trailer in Kodzoff Acres Mobile Home Park was burning. They arrived a few minutes later and quickly contained the blaze, which started in the kitchen.
At the scene Monday, Max Mielke, volunteer chief for Glacier Fire District, estimated about $10,000 damage. The trailer had about $25,000 damage in an earlier fire, on Feb. 5.
The February fire has been under investigation. Mielke said Monday's fire was also of suspicious origin.
``It appears to have started on the kitchen stove. They had some sealed laundry stacked on top of the stove,'' he said. ``They're not really living here yet, so it doesn't appear they were using the stove.''
Next-door neighbor Tim DeHart said the couple had been working steadily for the past seven weeks to repair the damages so they could move back in. ``I think the whole community around here has been helping out.''
DeHart's wife, Kathy Budke, was home a few minutes past noon Monday. She said someone frantically knocked on her door and asked to use the phone.
``He said, `The trailer next door is on fire again,''' she said. ``I said, `Call 911.' He dialed and then handed me the phone. He couldn't even talk. He was too shook up.''
Budke said she could see smoke coming off the roof. ``You could see flames in the kitchen, and then you heard windows busting out.''
Mielke said firefighters were able to contain the blaze within five minutes of their arrival.
Dusty Weich arrived as firefighters were extinguishing the fire, and Cheriess pulled in a few minutes later. She screamed, ``Not again,'' and collapsed.
The young couple moved into
the trailer a year and a half ago, and Dusty Weich, a Superior Builders employee, spent his spare time renovating the fixerupper. He had nearly finished remodeling the trailer when the February fire occurred.
The couple did not have homeowner's insurance at the time of the first fire. Dusty Weich told the Juneau Empire Feb. 12 that local businesses donated clothing and building materials, and a score of friends, church and family members pitched in to help clean and repair their home.
They had nearly finished repairing the damage from the February fire when Monday's blaze happened.
Juneau Crime Line has offered $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest or indictment of the person or people responsible for the February fire. The Crime Line number is 586-4243. Callers are guaranteed anonymity and given a number to use when claiming a reward of up to $1,000.

Related article: Date: Mon, 8 preteen little lolas top May 2006 15:56:14 -0700 (PDT)
From: Dan B
Subject: Fag for Dad 1This story is a work of fiction between a Dad and his son. If you're not
old enough to read adult material, please leave now!Fag for Dad part 1I woke up from a nap one lazy summer afternoon to see my Dad hanging
clothes out on the line in the back yard.I was feeling frisky, so I went out there to talk to him."How are you, boy?" he asked. I was so entranced with staring at his
manly body, I didn't respond at first. I had just discovered that grown
up men had hair, but was too shy to ask about it."Ummm I'm ok, Dad. Hey, Dad?""Son?""How come you have so much hair under your arms?""Well that's to keep me cooled off when I'm warm," he said, blushing
at least 2 shades of red."Really?" I asked, feeling my pants getting tighter. "Will I get hair
like yours when I'm older?""You sure will, boy. Tell you what, you go sit on the couch in the
living room, I'll finish up here, and we'll have a little chat, ok?"
he flashed me one of his patient smiles and off I went to the living
room. I turned on the TV and went channel hopping until I found pro
wrestling. My little boydick got hard again and I was so busy staring at
the men, I didn't notice Dad come in."Boy, you have some questions about men?" he smiled at me again and my
poor little dick got painfully hard."Well, yeah, Dad. What's going to happen?""Son, as you get older you'll hit puberty and you'll go through some
changes. It's just a part of growing up. You're growing up so fast,"
he said sitting on the couch next to me. "You'll have hair on your
chest and arms and legs,""And armpits?" I asked, my hand trying to cover my stiff little dick
through my jeans.He laughed a little and said, "Yes, even your armpits. You want to see
where your Dad has hair? It's ok, boys are curious," he said peeling
off his shirt so I could see his hairy chest and those sweaty pits.
"Come on, son, come sit on Daddy's lap and look."I did preteens lolitas nymphets models as I was told. I'm a good boy and I was really curious. I nuzzled
right into his chest and he let out a long sigh. "Oh, son. Such a good
boy. I see your peepee getting hard there. That's ok, too. It's
natural. Feel Dad's hairy chest. Yeah good boy"I was in heaven. I loved my Dad so much. I felt his pelt (as he called
his hairy chest sometimes) up and down. His hair was soft, and he was
smelling really good. He raised up his big right hand to behind his head."See this hairy lola e preteens pink
pit, boy? Sniff it. I don't smell bad and I think I
know you're going to grow up to be a faggot."I pulled back, tears in my eyes. I didn't exactly know what a faggot
was, just that you weren't supposed to be one. That's what they called
me in school sometimes."Daddy, I...""Shhh... be quiet, son. I don't care you're a faggot. I see pussyboys
like you all the time when I'm on a long haul," Dad is a trucker. When
he goes on a long cross-country trips my Aunt Anne comes to stay with me.
She's a nice lady, but I miss my Dad terribly. "You're my only son and
I love you. Now get your face back in my pit and start licking," he said
gently pushing the back of my head. He was cradling me now, with all
those hairs in my mouth and the masculine musky aroma, I was dizzy with
lust."Now boy, lick on my nipple here. Yeah, good boy. I'm going to hold you
so close and keep you safe. My little fagboy. You my fagboy? Are you son?
Kiss me, Daddy`s beard is tickly, isn`t it?"He didn't really let me answer and pushed my head down to his nipple. It
was comforting, like I was being nursed like a little baby I had seen
once on TV. He gently rocked me back and forth, running his fingers
through my hair, caressing my cheek, calling me all these names that I
knew were dirty, even if I didn't know what they meant."Come on, faggot. Daddy's got some more things to show you. Come into
Daddy's bedroom," and picked me up, still nursing on his nipple.
"A faggot's true purpose in life," he said, undressing me slowly,
while I was still in his arms, "is to make real men happy. I'm going to
make sure you worship your Father's cock. I'm the one that created you
and I'll be here for you while I turn you into my little pussyboy. I can
see by your little dick you're liking this. You're my fagboy now. That
means I'm going to have to teach you all about the things you're going
to have to learn to please me. Are you ready, faggot? Is my son ready to
be my fag for Dad? Inhale," he ordered, indicating a small brown bottle
he took from the headboard."Yeah, Dad," I moaned, completely out of my skull. I felt dizzy, I felt
dirty and I preteen lolita big tits knew for a fact that Dad not only loved me, he was going to
turn me into something other than just a little boy...More later? This is my first submission, so please be nice.Feel free to email me: Dan.Plumeyahoo.com

When the A16 Spalding to Peterborough bypass was opened, I was one of the first to raise my concerns on the layout of the road, the old Radar Corner etc and how many lives would be lost.
I was told by The Highways Department in reply to one of my letters in your papers, that they had carried out a survey on the road.
If my memory serves me correctly this was carried out before the road was even opened. I'm willing to be corrected.
I do understand whatever safety measures that are put in place, careless drivers will still find ways of abusing it and putting other innocent lives at risk.
What is the main problem, apart from the drivers, a procession of lorries, cars, white vans etc. This continues on all the routes from Spalding to Peterborough or visa versa. That's when the idiots, sorry drivers, start weaving in and out of the traffic. Guess what? You catch them up at the next junction. Today's drivers don't know what the words patience, indicators etc mean.
Money should not have come into question when lives are put at risk. It should have been a dual carriageway or at the least, passing places after each junction.
Can the person who designed this race track stand up and now be counted.
I was a regular user of the road, but I'm glad to say, I use it less frequently now, but I still arrive home shaking at some of the stunts the drivers pull on this road.
Again I'm asking, is something going to soon be done about this road, before it claims even more lives?
