Background: Font color:
In dreams you don�t need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don�t exist. So in dreams there are hardly ever collisions. Even if there are, they don�t hurt. Reality is different. Reality bites. Reality, reality. � Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart
Reality means you live until you die. The real truth is nobody wants reality. � Chuck Palahnuik
�Are you seeing someone new or something?� Ron asks him one day at work.
Harry is staring at his coffee cup distractedly, thinking that it never tastes as good as when Draco makes it for him in the mornings in the other world. �Hum?�
�It�s just that you seem really� happy these days. But you�re kind of distant too. It�s like you�re not really here.�
�Is it?� Harry looks deep into the coffee cup and wonders what Draco does when Harry drifts off, goes to sleep and ends up here, wonders what he�s doing right now. �It�s probably just because I�m tired. I haven�t been sleeping very well lately.�
He stands up, avoiding Ron�s disbelieving eyes, and decides that for some reason in this reality, the lights don�t seem as bright. In fact, everything here is less clear, misty and blurred like a dream. �This coffee�s rubbish. I�m going to make some more.�
Maybe Draco is in their kitchen making coffee too, just waiting for him to wake up.
Harry isn�t quite sure how Draco manages to talk him into going for a drive, but soon enough, they are headed down the road on what Draco has deemed an �adventure� in the old BMW Harry keeps around for emergencies. Draco is pouting because Harry won�t let him drive without a Muggle license (as if he would ever trust Draco with a Muggle car even if he had one) and has taken to rolling the passenger-side window up and down in retaliation.
�Don�t make me child-lock you,� Harry says threateningly as the glass goes sliding down again and a burst of chilly wind rushes into the car again, making his hair stand on end. Well, even more than it did normally anyway.
Draco narrows his eyes, hand on the button. �You wouldn�t dare.�
It turns out that Harry does, in fact, dare and he refuses to let Draco open the windows again, even when the air in the car becomes stifling from the heat of the sunset as it filters through the windshield.
Draco sulks and fiddles with the Muggle car radio, fighting Harry off so he can listen to the oldies station. Eventually, Harry relents and tries to memorize the obnoxious way Draco hums to all the songs even when he doesn�t know the tune, so he can remember it when he has to wake up tomorrow alone in the other world.
�You know, I don�t love a lot of people,� Draco says abruptly during a commercial break, as the sun sinks fully into the horizon, �but I love you. Even if you�re a stupid, controlling git.�
Draco hasn�t said it very much since Harry came here, to this world, but it�s been enough to make him realize that they probably had the �I love you� conversation a while ago. Even so, there is something about this �I love you�, this moment in the car, this look on Draco�s face, that makes Harry feel like it is really being said to him.
This Harry. The one he is right now, at this moment.
He thinks: this one.
�I love you too,� he says, and Draco�s face breaks into a blinding smile, like the sun coming out from behind some clouds, and the smile fills him up somehow, warm sunlight soaking into his body. �Even when you try to cook.�
Draco smacks his chest. �Don�t lie. You love my unique creations.�
�No, seriously. Out of concern for your health, please don�t try to cook with the Muggle oven anymore. It doesn�t work the way you think it does.�
�Is that why you haven�t been eating lately? Is my cooking really that bad?� He reaches across and catches Harry�s wrist as he tries to wave the questions away, because honestly, Harry can�t remember the last time he actually tasted food and Draco�s eyes would go wide and worried if he knew that and he would probably make him pull the car over and attempt to force-feed him lard. Or something. �God, you have skinny wrists. If someone wanted to, they could snap you like a twig. How are you an Auror again?�
Harry shrugs. �Animal magnetism?�
Draco makes a show of examining his arm, circling his fingers right above Harry�s hand and tisking when they loop around too easily, with space to spare, before taking the hand into his lap so he can trace the lines of Harry�s palm (is that his lifeline, his loveline �? Harry has forgotten all of his Divination training by now).
�You�re about as magnetic as a tarantula,� Draco snorts, weaving the fingers of their hands together like a little hand basket, but Harry can see him smiling out of the corner of his eye. �Get off at the next exit so we can get something to eat. I�m so hungry I could eat a horse � wait, no. That sounds disgustingly plebeian. I�m so hungry I could eat my body weight in pastries.�
�What a surprise,� Harry mutters, knowing he�ll be ignored.
Draco seems to contemplate the idea for a moment, staring out the windshield into the gathering clouds and threading their fingers together even more tightly, before turning to him decidedly.
�Harry,� he commands, �I require pastries. Buy me some.�
Harry laughs, loud and full, agreeing to pull off at the next place that looks promising, and he can almost feel Draco�s smugness from across the car as he sits back in his seat again to draw strange (probably demonic) shapes into the back of Harry�s wrist.
And it isn�t Harry�s fault that it begins to rain, the precipitation turning the street dark and slick so that it mirrors the headlights of the passing cars, just as it isn�t his fault that a truck heading the opposite direction takes a corner too fast, tires trying to grip the asphalt and failing.
Draco is singing along loudly to an awful song on the Muggle radio now, making up lyrics that smack of impropriety, and still has one hand intertwined with Harry�s, their fingers a tangled knot of pale, English skin. Harry laughs again at a particularly lewd line, taking his eyes away from the road for a moment to stare in wonder at their joined hands, when there is a horrible screeching sound, like tearing metal, and the truck smashes Harry�s small car into the barrier on the side of the road.
�Harry?� Someone is calling his name, it sounds like it might be Hermione or one of the women that works in the Aurors with him, and Harry thinks with relief that maybe he finally, at long last, has woken up for the last time. That there will be no more dreaming after this. �Harry? Are you awake?�
He tries to open his eyes and the world is a blur of too-bright light, tilting endlessly on its axis. The spinning makes his stomach roll, and suddenly, he realizes: this is the wrong world. He doesn�t want this. He wants �
His eyelids slam shut again and suddenly, the smell of gasoline and wet asphalt assaults his nose.
�Harry,� a voice croaks to his left over the background noise of the hissing engine and the shards of glass still falling to the ground, shattering. �Where are you? Harry?�
It�s Draco.
Pain tears through him as he tries to suck in a breath, his eyes filling with tears, and before he can reply, Draco is gone and the other voices are back, saying, � � just fainted clean away in the corridor.�
�Ron says he�s hardly seen him in weeks but I never�� Hermione�s voice is thin and breathless, panicked. �He looks so thin. Do you think he�s been il � oh, the Mediwizard! Thank god!�
There�s a strong hand gripping his wrist, touching his throat, and his skin feels clammy all over. Everything is too warm and he can�t breathe. �His pulse is too fast. We need to � �
Harry doesn�t blink so much as he wills his eyes closed and the gasoline smell is back, but so is the pain and he�s never felt agony like this, as if his pelvis has been ground into powder and his legs have been twisted out of their shape, into every wrong direction possible.
There is a tormented moan from next to him and Harry rips his eyes open, desperately trying to focus on anything that might be Draco�s face. The car is on its side, gravity pulling his head towards the ground and his eyes are having a hard time adjusting to the angle.
The silver of Draco�s hair stands out against the twisted, wrecked interior of the car now, but Harry can see blearily that there is a big gash that cuts across his scalp and down over his forehead, scarlet trails of blood running cross-wise down his face like stripes, and there are dark bruises blooming on his cheekbone and eye socket.
�Harry,� he chokes out when he finally catches his eyes, and there are tears sliding down his face that run crooked because of the angle of the car.
Harry tries to speak, attempting to clear his throat, but all that comes up is metallic-tasting liquid that causes him to hack a cough and suddenly the interior of the car is gone and he is staring up into the intense eyes of a Mediwizard. His lungs are gasping for air and his skin feels too small for his body, too hot and itchy and drenched with sweat. He can hear his heartbeat thrumming away in his ears like he�s just sprinted a mile.
�He�s going into cardiac arrest, I � � The man stops when he sees Harry open his eyes and he moves to grasp his hand tightly. �Come on, Harry. Don�t let go! Stay with me! Stay with � �
Another blink and he�s back in the car, looking up at Draco as he reaches his hand out. One of his arms is pinned by a crumpled part of the car and so he is twisting, reaching towards Harry across his own body.
Harry chokes on the tears as they mix with the blood in his throat and holds his hand out to meet him half-way, but the seat-belt is digging into his chest. He stretches, pushes against it, to the point of blinding pain and finally feels Draco�s fingers wrap around his.
He coughs again, red flecks landing on the bent shape of the steering wheel in front of him and Harry swears he hears Draco let out a quiet sob.
�Don�t let go, Harry. Stay with me.�
There is a ringing noise in his ears, crescendoing as his eyes begin to blur again and over the ringing, he can hear two sets of people calling his name desperately.
He closes his eyes again to block out the sickening whirl of the world, a deep drowsiness spiraling into his consciousness, and Harry can�t remember the last time he actually slept. His body feels heavy, filled with lead, and everything is sinking, as if he�s being pulled down to join the asphalt, the earth, and the only thing keeping him from falling is the hand gripping his. �
Then, his eyelashes flutter, the loud ringing finally blocking out the voices so that he is alone in the blissful darkness at last. Finally, some relief. And Harry allows himself drift down, off into sleep.
A/N: So this is the end, the end of all things. I'm really interested in what theories anyone may have about this whole thing, the dreams and the fluid ideas about reality. What was real and what was a dream? I have an idea of my own, but I'm happier leaving you all to think and come up with things on your own.
This fic was a total accident, and 18,000 words I never intended (the great story accordion), but I love it so much. Thank you all for being willing to go down this road with me, even though it was a bit out of the norm. It's been a bit hard to let it go, but since it is only my second completed story, I think it's okay that I'm a bit attached haha.
First of all, Oliphant-sized thank you's to Melissa (witnesstoitall), who encouraged me to start this story and listened to me talk about it nonstop for two months (or was it three?) -- this story would not exist without you. Second, thank you to my awesome beta Janechel (TenthWeasley), who loves me in spite of the fact that i cannot spell myself out of a locked box. Thirdly, to all my wonderful friends, you know who you are: thank you for laughing with me, crying with me, and loving this story more than I could ever have thought possible. You're the washboard abs to my kpop idol boyband and I don't know what I would do without any of you. Lastly, this fic was inspired by several alternate reality fics, which are very popular in other fandoms but somehow not in this one, so a big thank you to all the writers out there dedicated to writing quality fanfiction. Thank you for inspiring me and for helping me fill hours of my life that i should be spending doing useful things. No one can procrastinate by themselves and I appreciate it more than I can say haha.
And now that this A/N is nearly longer than the chapter, Drarry says goodbye to you all!

Want to know how green the average Nokia phone is? For this week's You ask, they answer, the Finnish mobile phone giant joins us to discuss its environmental track record and efforts, so start posting your questions below.
From humble beginnings as a wood pulp mill back in 1865, Nokia is now the world's number one mobile phone company, with 37% of the global market share. Yet despite its size, the firm enjoys a good record with Greenpeace, holding the top-spot in the Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics. However, Nokia lost points this year for failing to do "proactive lobbying" for the revised RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electronics) directive.
Nokia has also highlighted the potential for mobile phones to collect real-time information about pollution and other local environmental data. Henry Tirri, head of Nokia's research centre, has cited pollution as an area for which "killer" eco-apps might be created. "The things people don't usually think about with location-based systems are aggregate things like traffic information, and collective information about air pollution and other environmental data," he said.
Nokia is online from Monday to Friday this week to answer your environment questions – please post yours below.

5. Intel Corporation ( INTC, Earnings, Analysts, Financials): shares are at a 52-week low. Investors were caught off guard with the announcement that its CEO will retire next year. Intel shares pay a yield of 4.6%. Although revenues rely on computer sales, which were weak last quarter, Windows 8 should still gain traction over time. If last quarter turned out to be a consumers holding back on upgrading, Windows 8 should help Intel shares.Written by Chris Lau .

According to the American Hospital Association 2008 annual survey, there are 5,815 registered hospitals and 5,010 community hospitals in the United States, and over 37 million people admitted every year. Although the majority of hospitals are classified as general medical and surgical, some hospitals have specialized programs, divisions, or centers to treat specific diseases or disorders.
There are many advantages to selecting a hospital that is focused on the care and treatment of a specific disease or disorder:
The following list of hospitals by specialty was compiled by information derived from US News & World Report America's Best Hospital 2009-2010 report, each hospital's website and media center and various other research sources.
University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
Website: www.mdanderson.org
According to a study published in the July 2009 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the incidence of new cancer cases will increase by 45 percent by the year 2030, making it even more imperative to reduce your risk factors for developing the disease as well as know the hospitals that specialize in treating cancer.
The mission of the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center is "to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation, and the world through outstanding programs that integrate patient care, research and prevention, and through education for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees and the public." In addition, the state run hospital is striving to be "the premier cancer center in the world, based on the excellence of our people, our research-driven patient care and our science."
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston has 507 beds to accommodate its in-house programs, including end of life services and its various out-patient programs. The MD Anderson Cancer Center was established in 1941 as part of the University of Texas health system. This modern facility is state of the art and is ranked first in the number of awarded research grants received by the National Cancer Institute. The hospital treats both common and rare forms of cancers.

A variable gain amplifier (VGA) is proposed as part of a sensor interface for portable biomedical applications in which ultra-low-power analog processing is required. The particular characteristic of this VGA is that its gain can be controlled by a clock signal duty-cycle. Auto-zero technique is also employed for reducing the low-frequency noise and offset. The circuit was designed in standard 0.18 ?m CMOS process and has been sent for fabrication. Post-layout simulation results predicts the expected response of the VGA.

Developing an intimate understanding of the world's greatest musical accomplishments is an important part of a music education. Every musician should have the joy of playing the music of Mozart, and the G-minor Symphony (Number 40) is one of Mozart's signature works, and one of the greatest musical achievements of all time. Stephen Bulla has carefully and effectively brought the themes of the G-minor Symphony finale to the concert band stage with this delightful transcription/arrangement. Your band won't be playing a "band arragement" - they'll be playing Mozart! Don't forget the opportunity for a music history lesson built into this piece.

The Royals are Daddy Rich from Car Wash or Max Scherzer owed Verlander a favor. "Hey, Scherzer, do me a solid and do a solid on the mound so my Monday start doesn't look so bad. You feel me? If you do, I got a Ms. Upton to feel you." Little did Scherzer know that Verlander wasn't talking about Kate Upton, but about Justin and B.J.'s sister, Misshapen. "Misshapen, your legs are so curvaceous they remind me of the coastline of Africa." Or maybe Verlander is just spreading something around the clubhouse. Anibal, you better not touch him or I will know it! Scherzer only lost once all of last year at home, which is slightly misleading like I'm saying he is that much better at home. He only lost twice on the road last year and his ERA on the road was almost a run and half lower. Yesterday, it all went to pot — Lincecum, "That's where I want to go!" — as Scherzer gave up 10 runs in four innings. Leyland was right. Pitchers are like barbecuing pork. You need a lot of indirect smoke to tender up their shoulder and get 'em right. If this allows a buying opportunity on Scherzer, unlike Verlander, I do think this was a hiccup rather than a long, extended burp. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Uneven Election Success for Black Politicians
Five Decades After Washington March, Candidates Rack Up House Seats, but Few in Statewide Races for Senate and Governor
When he finished his second term as mayor of New Orleans a decade ago, Marc Morial reached the hard conclusion that his career in elective politics in Louisiana likely had peaked.
He was tempted to take the next step, he says, but believed Louisiana voters weren't prepared to elevate a black candidate to the governorship or a Senate seat. Mr. Morial set aside his political ambitions and forged a different career as head of the National Urban League, a civil-rights group.
Fifty years after Martin Luther King delivered his landmark "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial, which will be celebrated at a public ceremony Wednesday in Washington, African-American progress in the political arena has been spotty.
Barack Obama, who will speak at the event, broke the ultimate racial barrier when he won the presidency in 2008, picking up a higher percentage of the white vote than had 2004 Democratic nominee, John Kerry. Blacks run major cities and are winning an ever greater share of U.S. House races. But few blacks have been elected to the Senate and gubernatorial offices that are natural springboards to the presidency and vice presidency.
Winning statewide office is "much more elusive for African-Americans," Mr. Morial said. "There continues to be a glass ceiling in so many states." He noted that a number of white mayors in recent years made the leap to governor, among them John Hickenlooper in Colorado, Ed Rendell in Pennsylvania and Martin O'Malley in Maryland.
Over the last four decades, black elected officials in the U.S. jumped from fewer than 1,500 to as many as 11,000, according to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a research organization. But in the nation's history, only three African-Americans have won Senate elections by popular vote: Mr. Obama, Democrat Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois and Republican Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. Democrat Cory Booker of New Jersey would be the fourth, should he defeat Republican Steve Lonegan in a special election next month.
One illustration of the challenge black politicians face is that no black member of the House, and no black mayor, has ever run successfully since Reconstruction for the Senate or for governor. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, a civil-rights lawyer and former Justice Department senior official, currently is the nation's lone black governor.
Scholars and lawmakers say one reason is that most black House members represent districts that are heavily Democratic and heavily minority, meaning they often don't need to appeal to a diverse set of voters.
"Representing a primarily black constituency sets you on a political path that makes it hard to recalibrate for a statewide race," said Artur Davis, a former Alabama congressman who lost a bid for governor in 2010, and has since left the Democratic Party.
Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, a Democrat now in his fourth term, cites money as an impediment. "As long as minority congressional members represent districts that tend to be lower income, then your funding base is going to be smaller, which will put you at a dollar disadvantage when you want to run for statewide office," he said.
The success of black politicians nationally has been closely tied to the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which protected minority voting rights and led to the creation of dozens of majority-minority House districts, particularly after the 1990 Census. Black House members rose from 24 to 39 in the two elections after the 1991 redistricting.
In the decade when Dr. King gave his speech, blacks won 1.7% of House races, according to Eric Ostermeier, a research associate at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs. By 2012, that figure had jumped to about 10%, but still less than their 13% portion of the nation's total population.
At the same time, concentrating black voters in a few dozen districts has benefited the GOP; if African-Americans, a reliable Democratic constituency, were spread over more districts, they could have made that party's candidates competitive in additional districts. Blacks made their biggest gains ever in the House in 1994—the same year the GOP gained 54 seats and took control of the body for the first time in decades. Last year, Mr. Obama won the national vote by five million votes but won just 209 of the 435 House districts.
Geographically, black political progress has been uneven. After winning passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, then-president Lyndon Johnson feared that Democrats would lose their grip on the South. That proved largely true, as Republicans have gained control of Southern statehouses.
Today, all but three of the 320 African-American state legislators serving in the 11 states that formed the Confederacy are in the minority party, according to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.
In these states, "in terms of political power, African-Americans are on the outs," said David Bositis, acting vice president at the center.

Wahlberg is the fix to flaws in 'Broken City'
Published 2:02 pm, Thursday, January 17, 2013
In "Broken City," Mark Wahlberg plays a former cop turned detective in search of answers. New York City is a labyrinth of corruption and confusion, with shifting alliances and fathomless motives, and he just wants to know what's going on. So do we. "Broken City" isn't always easy to follow, but it's easy enough to stay focused on the main character and see what happens.
In the end, Wahlberg knows what he needs to know and takes sober satisfaction in a job well done. And the audience knows everything, too, but is less satisfied. With "Broken City" the spell breaks about 20 minutes before the finish. Though it's not a long movie, it feels a little long, as though things were being tacked on, or the screenwriter were making it up on the fly. It's never boring, but it lacks a cumulative impact.
The real pleasures of "Broken City" can be found in the tangential elements: The detective (Wahlberg) goes to a movie premiere with his girlfriend (Natalie Martinez) to see the independent film she has starred in - and discovers that the artistic, mildly suggestive sex scene she described to him turns out to be nude, lewd and lowdown. Wahlberg is good at rage and mortification, and this movie gives him the chance to show it.
Then there's Russell Crowe as the mayor, who goes into a televised debate with his opponent and shows all the world how to win an election in New York City. He may look like the smilingest crook on Earth, but he plays up the neighborhood-guy attitude and accent, and rolls over the other candidate like a tank. For years, Crowe has been playing brooding parts, but his role here, as the mayor - magnetic, dangerous, multisided - recalls the exuberance of his early, star-making roles in Australia. And (cue the rimshot) he doesn't have to sing in this, so that's another plus.
Catherine Zeta-Jones plays the mayor's wife, not a large role, but a significant one, and every time she is on screen, there is nothing else to look at. Zeta-Jones is stunning. Part of being stunning is simply a matter of looking a certain way, but it's also a matter of authority: You might look at a face, but that face is also looking back at you, and in the case of Zeta-Jones's face, all kinds of powerful things are going on. At 43, she's at least as beautiful as she was at 28, but with a maturity, a directness and a rueful wisdom that's new. Back then, she was like a glass of champagne. Now she's like a 15-year-old Scotch.
Latest Entertainment Videos
So with all that going on - with Wahlberg exuding sexual humiliation, with Crowe carrying on and with Zeta-Jones' close-ups being something to savor - who needs a story that amounts to anything? And the answer is nobody, at first. In addition to these name attractions, "Broken City" features newcomer Alona Tal in a winning showcase as the detective's secretary. Her secret feelings for her boss are nicely suggested, detailed and inhabited.
But just as some movies are more than the sum of their parts, this one is less. By the end, "Broken City" shakes down as both intermittently colorful and reasonably amusing, but as an empty exercise.

HELENA — Montana has joined 45 other states and the District of Columbia in adopting education standards that proponents say are more specific and prepare students to graduate from high school ready for college or a career.
The state Board of Public Education adopted the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and math on Friday, Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau said.
"These new standards have the potential to fundamentally transform learning in the classroom," Juneau said. "They give every student, no matter where they live, the opportunity to receive an education that will prepare them for college or to enter the workforce."
The new standards list specific skills students are supposed to learn in each grade, while the previous standards listed, in general, what students should know by fourth and eighth grades and at graduation, she said.
They also require literacy in history, science, social studies and technical subjects.
"Literacy has to be a part of their duties as well — reading across the curriculum," Juneau said, including such things as vocabulary words in science and being able to solve story problems.
The standards were developed through an initiative sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governor's Association. The process involved teachers, principals, parents and other experts using the best education practices of the United States and other countries.
"This is a national movement, driven by the states" rather than the federal government, Juneau said.
Schools will now begin aligning their curriculum to the new standards and some have already begun that work, Juneau said.
Schools are expected to implement the new standards starting with the 2013-14 school year, but may begin earlier. The first tests that will be able to compare Montana students with students across the country being taught under the same standards will take place during the 2014-15 school year.
Montana's new standards also include Indian Education for All, as required by the state constitution.

Erik Johnson Vs. Jonathan Toews: Would The Blues Switch Their #1 Pick?August 23, 2010
Each circumstance requires a "what if" aspect.
What if the Portland Trailblazers drafted Michael Jordan instead?
What if the St. Louis Blues would have drafted Jonathan Toews first over Erik Johnson?
Johnson has yet to play a complete season, but has shown he can produce respectable numbers.
He has been known to be a mid-scoring defender by recently scoring 39 points in the regular season.
He even brought home a silver medal from the past Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Sure he sounds great, but someone is more superior from the 2006 draft.
Yes, Mr. Jonathan Toews is that special someone.
Toews does have one more season under his belt, but even his first season with only 64 games is better than Johnson's finest year.
His rookie season was very victorious, though losing the Calder Memorial Trophy to fellow teammate, Patrick Kane.
After Toews first season, he was announced captain of the Chicago Blackhawks.
He also finished the 2008–09 season with 69 points in 82 games, helping the Blackhawks to their first postseason appearance since 2002. Toews added 13 points in 17 playoff games as the Blackhawks advanced to the Western Conference Finals, where they were eliminated by the Detroit Red Wings in five games.
Toews won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in six games versus the Philadelphia Flyers, becoming the second-youngest captain in the history of the NHL to hoist the cup. He scored seven goals and 29 points in the playoffs, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.
He is also the youngest player (22-years-old) to become a member of the Triple Gold Club (Olympic Gold, Stanley Cup, World Championship).
So would the St. Louis Blues take back their draft pick if they knew what they know now?
Would Toews have been a better fit for the Blues, or is Johnson just what the they needed?
Various situations can be asked in the aspect of "what if", but not all can change an entire team.

Great - thanks for the help, both.
I am not using an XML writer, which is probably the root of the problem...I am using print.
I have the line print "$key_attrbs=\"$attrbs{$key_attrbs}\""; in a loop of the node to print out all its attributes.
I have now added above it: encode_entities $attrbs{$key_attrbs};, which seems to have done the trick.(with use HTML::Entities at the beginning)
I suspect this is not ideal, but it's working for me at the moment

2011 NBA: Warriors' Keith Smart Needs to Take a Lesson From Giants' Bruce BochyJanuary 29, 2011
Bruce Bochy and his San Francisco Giants shocked most of the baseball world by needing all 162 games of the regular season to earn a postseason berth and then using that berth to reach the pinnacle of the sport for the first time since the team moved West.
There's not really a trade (save for a Pau Gasol-type robbery perhaps) that will bring Riley and Smart the same result. However, Bochy was able to make one critical decision that the Warriors' front office needs to adapt...yesterday.
It's certainly no secret that the Warriors most pressing need nearing the trade deadline is for a dominant big man to patrol the paint. That big man's presence would boost (or in some cases, establish) the team's shot blocking abilities in the paint, overall rebounding prowess and the club's ability to get points out of the post.
That player was supposed to be Andris Biedrins. At least, that's what the team thought when they threw $63 million for six years his way in the summer of 2008.
Now, that same contract is forcing Biedrins into action, seemingly regardless of how he performs.
As Warriors' beat writer Marcus Thompson pointed out recently, "The politics of NBA does play a role. More minutes for Udoh likely means less for the $9 million-a-season-starter in Biedrins, or Lou Amundson, signed as a free agent to be the Warriors' big man off the bench."
If the politics of the basketball world crept into the major leagues, perhaps Giants fans would have never heard of Andres Torres and would have been forced to wait for next season for Madison Bumgarner to get a chance to pitch in the big leagues.
But Bochy refused to abide by the politics, benching his two highest paid players (Barry Zito and Aaron Rowand) with the organization effectively eating those contracts and playing better, less expensive players. The results of that move? Well, let's just say that the World Series trophy is still making the rounds in Northern California.
It's time for Riley and Smart to follow suit. It's going to be next to impossible to move Biedrins and his three years and $36 million left on that deal. It's going to be impossible to move that deal without parting with Ellis or Curry, something that ownership is open to doing, but is unlikely to get anything near their value in return.
The solution can come from two sources: players already with the club, or trade options that won't require Ellis/Curry in the deal.
With the Warriors logjam of big men on the bench, Smart could try out different combinations involving more minutes for Ekpe Udoh and Amundson and some minutes for Brandan Wright.
If the Warriors look at trade options, players like Washington's Andray Blatche, Dallas' Brendan Haywood or Milwaukee's Drew Gooden could be cheap options that might not require much more than expiring contracts. If the Warriors are willing to part with more assets, they might try to make a run at the Clippers' Chris Kaman, the Wizards' JaVale McGee or the Grizzlies' Zach Randolph.
No matter the route that the Warriors brass choose, the important thing is that they choose a route. As much as it hurts to sit a guy making that much money, it hurts even worse to trot out an underperforming player while better options waste away on the bench.

Accounting Makeover for Global Companies Seen Within U.S.: Taxes
Multinational companies expect the U.S. Congress to revamp the international tax codes, and they already are preparing for it.
Sixty-eight percent of U.S. multinationals say comprehensive international reform is coming, according to a survey by Ernst & Young LLP. Fifty-one percent said lawmakers could accomplish the job in 2014, while 31 percent said reform is likely by 2015.
More than half said the prospect of big international reform already has affected their tax planning. Leaders in both parties have spent much of the 112th Congress gearing up for tax reform, which they expect to at least start next year.
"Tax directors are analyzing the impact of a new regime on their companies and evaluating the cost of different planning scenarios under the current system through any transition, as well as the impact of operating under the new system," Jeff Michalak, head of Ernst & Young International Tax Services, said in a statement.
The survey found that 80 percent of multinationals would prefer a territorial regime. Currently, the system taxes the offshore profits of U.S.-based multinational companies -- a so- called worldwide system that means companies pay tax on business they do in other countries as well as domestically. Republican lawmakers have proposed shifting to a territorial tax system, where most of the income those companies generate abroad would be exempt from U.S. taxes.
House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, a Republican from Michigan, in 2011 unveiled a blueprint for corporate tax reform that would significantly lower the corporate tax rate and move the overall system to a territorial tax system similar to those used by Japan and the U.K. Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, a Democrat from Montana, hasn't offered a formal blueprint, though he laid out principles in a June speech. His approach includes focusing on jobs and competitiveness.
President Obama also has called for overhauling the Internal Revenue Code. His corporate tax plan focuses on lowering the rate and retaining the worldwide system while making it more difficult for companies to defer income.
Business Should Push Harder for IRS Fast-Track Audits
Businesses being audited by the Internal Revenue Service should push harder to get into the fast-track settlement program, a top agency official said.
The fast-track project aims to cut the time and cost of resolving tax disputes with the IRS. Businesses can settle tax disputes in as little as 90 days, according to Paul DeNard, a deputy commissioner at the IRS said this week.
"If you have not been offered fast-track, ask," DeNard said. "If the exam team says no, they should tell you why. If you're not happy with the answer, go to a manager. I would encourage all taxpayers to at least ask."
IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman in September said the fast-track program was part of an larger agency initiative to transform its relationship with taxpayers.
However, he said the program will only succeed only if both parties come to the table with a goal of reaching a solution. If one side is convinced that the other side is wrong, the settlement option will not work, DeNard told a conference co- sponsored by the LB&I Financial Services Industry and the New York Chapter of the Tax Executives Institute.
Attorneys Offer Medical Device Firms Advice for Excise Tax
Medical device makers will have to master a complex set of rule to comply with the new excise tax on devices that takes effect at the start of the new year, a panel of tax attorneys tell the Advanced Medical Technology Association Oct. 3.
IRS has built a tax plan around the Food and Drug Administration's regulatory regime for medical devices, says Rita Cavanagh, a partner with Latham & Watkins. It will be a challenge for device companies to determine the right amount to pay and to prove it to the IRS, she says. IRS excise tax rules, in effect for more than 30 years, aren't well adapted to this industry, she adds.
Devices that are listed with the FDA are subject to the tax. If a firm uses FDA labeling, it must list the device, says Benneville Haas, also a partner with Latham & Watkins. If during an inspection FDA determines that a product should have been listed, the tax will apply, he says.
Property Rules Will Help Increase Market Liquidity
Final tax rules on publicly traded property for purposes of determining the issue price are a good thing because they are likely to help increase the liquidity of the markets, an IRS official says.
Unveiled in September, the rules reflect changes to the easing of the debt markets in recent years. Mark Perwien of IRS's Office of Chief Counsel says the rules are "a good thing from a policy perspective. The bigger a debt issue is, the more liquid it is."
French Court Upholds Seizure of Google Tax Data
An appeals court in Paris rules that French tax law allows auditors to seize documents and other data from the foreign- based servers of a multinational corporation.
The court rejects arguments from Google France and Google Ireland that the seizure of documents from foreign-based servers violates French and European Union law. The court says data accessible through a computer on the local audited premises is considered as stored in that computer.
"It matters little that the seized data were on servers located abroad," the court says.

An important letter from CU President Brown forwarded to friends of the CU Foundation
July 24, 2007
Dear University of Colorado Donor,
The Board of Regents today voted to accept my recommendation to dismiss Professor Ward Churchill from the faculty of the Boulder campus. I made the recommendation for the good of the University of Colorado.
CU's success depends on its reputation for academic integrity. A public research university such as ours requires public faith that our faculty's professional activities and search for truth are conducted according to the high standards of the profession and the university. Maintaining our academic reputation is a key facet of the university's accountability.
We are accountable to those who have a stake in the university: the people of Colorado who provide us $200 million annually in tax dollars, the federal entities that provide some $640 million annually in research funding, the donors who gave us more than $130 million this year to enhance academic quality, the faculty members who expect their colleagues to act with integrity, and the students who trust that faculty who teach them meet high university and professional standards.
We are also accountable to the donors who invest their philanthropic dollars in CU. We have the obligation to you to ensure that the University of Colorado continues to be a place where your donation enhances our academic strengths and burnishes our reputation. Donors to CU gave a record $130 million this past fiscal year, and it is incumbent upon us to work to continue to be a place worthy of your investment.
To help ensure that accountability, we cannot abide academic misconduct. More than 20 faculty members (from CU and other universities) on three separate panels conducted a thorough review of Professor Churchill's work and unanimously agreed that the evidence showed he engaged in research misconduct, which required serious sanction. The record of the case his faculty peers developed shows a pattern of serious, repeated and deliberate research misconduct that fell below the minimum standard of professional integrity, including fabrication, falsification, improper citation and plagiarism.
Some on the Boulder campus and beyond claim Professor Churchill was singled out because of public condemnation of his writing about September 11, 2001. They see his case as a referendum on academic freedom. The university determined early in the process that his speech was not at issue, but that his research was. The prohibition against research misconduct extends to all faculty members, regardless of their political views. It would be a mistake to exempt faculty members from being accountable for the integrity of their research because their views are controversial.
CU is committed to academic freedom, which protects the exploration and teaching of unpopular, even controversial ideas. But that pursuit must be accompanied by the high standards of the academic profession.
CU's most important asset is its academic reputation. Professor Churchill's actions reflect poorly on the University of Colorado, but we will not let the research misconduct of one individual tarnish our reputation. Our faculty members take pride in their work and demonstrate a high level of professionalism. It is the work they do daily in classrooms and research laboratories that is the foundation for the strong reputation CU has built over 131 years. And it is the work they will continue to do that will allow our donors to be confident they have made wise investments in an exceptional university.

Testimonials for our Mayfair Gym
Read what our clients think of Pete Fraser Fitness, a discreet, personal and private gym in the heart of Central London's Mayfair district.
The team will become your friends as well as your motivation and support…
I first made contact with Pete about 3 years ago. I was looking for a gym in the Mayfair area and the personal approach advocated by Pete's website coupled with the great facilities in a friendly non- intimidating environment appeared a good fit for what I needed. On speaking to Pete for the first time I was struck by his passion for training and how he quickly understood my requirements and the best way to encourage me to commit to a programme and I was sold.
Pete is clearly passionate about training, both himself and his clients, and this rubs off in that you feel you are on a journey together. I have been impressed by the variety of the sessions that have been planned for me and that has meant that whilst challenging, training doesn't get repetitive or boring. I have been surprised by what can be achieved if directed and encouraged properly and I take great pride in now being able to run and lift better than I ever expected, and for that I credit Pete and the team who have pushed but never intimidated me.
What I didn't realise when I first came to Pete was how much of a family the team are and how friendly and encouraging they are no matter which of the trainers you work with. I have had sessions with 4 different trainers and each has their own style but the consistency of the Pete Fraser Fitness approach clearly underpins all sessions. I value this very highly as with my schedule I cannot always have the same trainer but I can always be sure that the trainer knows my needs and I will therefore have a good and worthwhile session.
I always expected to feel fitter, stronger and healthier, what is more important is that my mind-set has changed and I now feel more motivated and encouraged to work hard and want to continue to improve. I should also say that I am fitter, stronger, healthier and trimmer than for a very long time.
It is clear to me that working with a motivated and inspiring trainer is the best way of training properly. I used to go to the gym but never really pushed myself and didn't do the correct programme. Pete and the team explain why I am undertaking any specific exercise and I have seen the results of training to a programme designed specifically for my needs. I highly recommend working with a trainer as the motivation to exercise is only enhanced by seeing results every week be it running further and faster or lifting more. I would add that the trainer is all important and in Pete Fraser Fitness you have a team of likeminded individuals who work with you so that you can get better and this will enable you to meet your goals and then go on to exceed them. I have been working with the team for 3 years and I am more motivated than ever to meet new goals, and it is a journey I feel I am on with Pete and the team and that is a great support and I am sure it will help me achieve more than I expected. Pete and the team will become your friends as well as your motivation and support and I cannot praise or recommend them highly enough.
Ajay Sharma, Senior Vice President, Heitman Investment Management, London 23rd July 2015
I usually hate going to the gym…
It's personal – and one to one – sometimes there is one other person but it feels very personal and almost private with no one looking at you while you train.
I usually hate going to the gym and don't normally last longer than about 4 weeks, I have nearly done a year and now don't feel myself if I have not worked out – Peter has certainly changed something in me – he had a very `softly softly` approach that didn't make me run away
My body shape has changed, I have a reduced amount of body fat and I feel alive again
If you have always hated going to the gym then this will totally change your opinion –speaking to Peter whilst on the treadmill is somehow a strange form of therapy.
Luke Hersheson Co-founder & Creative Director, Hershesons, International 24th July 2015
It is the friendly feel…
I was first attracted to PFF by its convenience – located round the corner from my offices – and its privacy – in a discreet little Mayfair mews building. It's a far cry from most gyms you see today which tend to be noisy and hectic.
PFF offer a highly personal service. It is a tailored approach to each individual which works for me
I have been coming to PFF for 7 years now. Before this I had been a member of various gyms which I would be enthusiastic about for a while and then my enthusiasm would wane. Pete's targeted and goal oriented approach to fitness has kept me motivated and the convenience has meant that I am able to incorporate training into my working week which I believe is the only way of ensuring long term results. I certainly feel fitter and healthier for it.
I actually look forward to seeing Pete and Huw which must be fairly unique for a gym albeit when I am in the middle of gruelling session I must admit sometimes I wonder why! It is the friendly feel of the place, the personal touch and the targeted approach which really works for me.
David Silverman Director of Investments, Derwent London 24th July 2015
Highly professional yet relaxed approach…
I was recommended to Pete Fraser Fitness by a peer I respect in business. During the introductory session I appreciated the highly professional yet relaxed approach to personal training.
The entire experience is very bespoke. The studio is located in a central yet quiet mews. Everything is unhurried and low key. Peter and his team are very experienced personal trainers and that is instantly clear. In my experience, prior trainers have gone for too much too soon. Those sessions were too challenging to be enjoyable and became chore like. Peter and his team have a gradual, steady approach which brings cumulative and sustainable results.
I attend for a weekly session and then do the 'homework' Peter gives me. The result is that I feel fit and I want to stay fit.
Pete Fraser Fitness offers professional, customized personal training for busy people. The service is highly individualized, the trainers are personable and the experience enjoyable. I recommend highly.
Bill Benjamin Senior Partner, Area Management, London 24th July 2015
I was not pushing myself enough…
I first came to Pete Fraser Fitness because I needed to get more from my fitness regime. I was not pushing myself enough and hence the results were not forthcoming. Having used personal trainers at larger gyms before, I was attracted by the idea of a small gym with a personal level of service.
I found Pete to be highly professional and knowledgeable. Having sustained a back injury, he was able to adapt my training in line with my physiotherapy. I was able to continue exercising, something I probably would not have had the confidence to do on my own.
There is no doubt that my level of fitness has greatly improved and I am delighted by the muscle definition I have gained – the triceps dips have paid off! I am also much more confident using free weights which means I can keep up with my regime even whilst travelling.
Pete Fraser Fitness stands out for its professional and friendly service. Pete's total expertise in fitness and rehabilitation is in my opinion second to none.
Geri Asset Manager, Mayfair, London 24th July 2015
Helped in my recovery…
Pete is a highly skilled fitness professional who provides a great work-out environment at Coach & Horses Yard.
Most recently he has helped in my recovery from knee replacement surgery with a carefully structured rehabilitation regime. I lead a hectic life but it's vital to find time for exercise – and Pete's flexible approach makes it possible. So it's top marks for a top team – and a great dog!

Earlier this morning I was scrolling through Instagram, looking for potential topics to write about. I don't really have a specific system or definitive thing that I'm looking for, but I've developed the ability to know good content when I see it. As I kept scrolling, I suddenly landed on a goldmine and exclaimed; "JACKPOT!"
A friend of mine is staying at my place, so he heard me from the other room. He asked what was up, and I explained "Kourtney Kardashian wore a bikini and posted it on Instagram. This sort of stuff is very good for my job."
Today is a good day. Kourtney Kardashian wore a bikini and posted not one, but TWO close-up pics of her butt.
And here it is, from a different perspective:

Places Discussed
(Critical Guide to Settings and Places in Literature)
*Westminster Palace
*Westminster Palace. London residence of the rulers of England from the eleventh through sixteenth centuries (later used for the Houses of Parliament), alongside the River Thames, near Westminster Abbey. Built by William the Conqueror, the palace was long the central locus of both the home of the royal family and the royal court. In this play its dynamics are volatile, given the presence of the Yorkist king Edward IV and his kin, victorious but internally divided, and the widows of the defeated Lancastrian king Henry VI and his Prince of Wales. The palace as crucible of Richard's power is compared metaphorically to his mother's womb, which she herself calls "The bed of death" for nurturing her "damned son," and to the womb of the Princess Elizabeth, where Richard expects to legitimize his reign.
*Tower of London
*Tower of London. Ancient, fearful edifice where King Henry VI, the last Lancastrian king, was imprisoned and killed. The prison threatens everyone who may stand in the way of Richard's kingship. It sees the confinement and murder of Richard's brother Clarence, the queen's relatives and supporters (killed at Pomfret Castle), King Edward's sons and heirs, and Lord Chamberlain Hastings, who calls the tower a "slaughterhouse."
*Tewkesbury (TEWKS-behr-ee). Town on the Severn River in west-central England, north-northeast of Gloucester, near which the Lancastrian army was defeated by Yorkist forces in 1471. The battlefield is continually referred to in the play, as the characters relive scenes of the murders of the Lancastrian prince of Wales and Richard's father and youngest brother. The battle is a monument to the families' hatred.
*Bosworth Field
*Bosworth Field. Place in central England near Leicester that was the site of the most famous battle of the War of the Roses, in 1485, that is the setting for the last battle in William Shakespeare's play. Here Richard is defeated and killed, ending his evil rule afoot and alone, speaking his most famous words, "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" The victor is the earl of Richmond, who is crowned King Henry VII. He became the first Tudor king and was grandfather to Queen Elizabeth I, during whose reign this play was written.

Chicago Fire Defender Arne Friedrich Announces Retirement
June 23, 2013 - Major League Soccer (MLS) - Chicago Fire News Release
CHICAGO, Ill. (June 23, 2013) - The Chicago Fire Soccer Club announced Sunday that defender Arne Friedrich has retired from professional soccer. The two-time German World Cup veteran brings an end to a 14-year professional career that saw him compete at the top levels in Germany before joining the Fire.
"This was a very difficult decision," said Friedrich. "After discussing it with the medical staff and my family, I've decided that it is the right time for me to retire from professional soccer. I was very excited to re-sign with the Fire following the 2012 season but unfortunately my injuries prevent me from returning to the game that I love. I have been truly blessed to represent my country at the highest level and play for world-class clubs. I would like to thank all of my teammates, coaches, the fans and my family for supporting me throughout my career."
Friedrich joined the Fire March 7, 2012 and was instrumental in the Fire's return to the playoffs. Friedrich made 23 appearances for the Men in Red, tallying one goal across 1,832 minutes. The two-time German World Cup veteran patrolled the Fire backline that held opponents to 41 goals in the 2012 regular season, tied for second best in the Eastern Conference. In recognition of his efforts, Friedrich was selected as the club's 2012 Defender of the Year. The Men in Red went 14-5-4 in matches where Friedrich commanded the Fire's central defense.
"We want to thank Arne for his contributions as a member of the Fire," said Chicago Fire President of Soccer Operations Javier Leon. "The experience and leadership that he brought to our team was invaluable. He was an integral part of or squad as we returned to the playoffs in 2012 and we wish him the best with his future endeavors."
Hailing from Bad Oeynhausen, Germany, Friedrich represented the German national team 82 times since his first appearance in 2002. During that time, the 6-1 defender compiled an impressive international resume, playing 13 of a possible 14 games while helping Die Mannschaft to matching third place finishes at the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups. It was in the latter tournament that he scored, tallying in the 74th minute of Germany's 4-0 quarterfinal victory over Argentina July 3, 2010 in Cape Town, South Africa.
The renowned defender also represented Germany at the 2004 and 2008 UEFA European championships. In 2008, Friedrich appeared in four matches, helping his country to a runner-up finish. Capable of playing centrally or on the right side of the backline, Friedrich helped his national side to a third-place finish at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup in Germany.
Friedrich began his professional career with German Regionalliga side SC Verl, where he appeared in 31 matches from 1999-2000 before transferring to 2. Bundesliga side Arminia Bielefield the following season. Friedrich helped Die Blauen's promotion push to the Bundesliga during the first part of the 2001-02 season before transferring to Hertha Berlin that January.
It was in the German capital where Friedrich made his biggest mark, going on to tally 231 league appearances and 14 goals from 2002-10. Prior to the 2002-03 Bundesliga campaign, Friedrich helped the club to the preseason DFB Ligapokal. During the 2004-05 campaign, he was named club captain, a role he held throughout the remainder of his tenure with Die Alte Dame.
Following Hertha's relegation after the 2009-10 season, Friedrich transferred to VfL Wolfsburg where he appeared in 15 matches from 2010-11.
In his time with the Fire, Friedrich served as a mentor to his centerback partner Austin Berry. Under the German's tutelage, Berry made 28 consecutive MLS Regular Season starts en route to 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year honors.
Depending on his treatment, Friedrich is expected to return to Chicago later this summer and will be honored at an upcoming Fire home game.

Noam Shalit wants his son back, and he'll do whatever it takes.
The father of the captured Israel Defence Forces soldier, Gilad Shalit, is applying pressure on the Israeli government to release nearly one thousand Palestinian prisoners in exchange for his son's freedom.
When we interviewed him, he was sitting where he always sits nowadays – in a large white tent set up around the corner from the Israeli Prime Minister's residence. He sits there, greets well-wishers there, sleeps there. He moved from his home in the north of Israel, near the border with Lebanon eight months ago, ever since the fourth anniversary of Shalit's capture by Hamas in a cross-border raid in 2006.
His face is one of a man reserved to sitting there – exposed to the wind and the rain and the sun – for years more if necessary, all in the hopes of seeing his son again one day. There's a sort of steady stoicism to his posture, a man now hardened to the anxieties that must have plagued him terribly in the first weeks and months of his son's capture.
The interview is interrupted by well-wishers pulling up in a limousine. On their wedding day, a couple has stopped at Shalit's tent to wish him well. This father appreciates the gesture, even if he bluntly notes its pointlessness. "It won't make any difference. But it's warming, it's encouraging. Kind of," he said.
Shalit ambles slowly back to the tent, and sits down again. It won't be the last time we're interrupted by well-wishers, some of whom make a point to visit the tent several times a week.
He says he has been pushing the government to release 450 Hamas prisoners, which would be followed, after his son's return, with another 550 prisoners set free.
President Obama and his administration has been no help, he says:
He's not any help in this crisis. When he was a Senator… he showed some interest… But when he became President I think he is more concerned about… the PA [Palestinian Authority] stability than one Israeli soldier… After so many years, I don't have any expectations [for] Obama. The Congress has passed a resolution last year calling for the release of Gilad. But unfortunately this resolution [did not] even call for the administration to do anything.
He notes, with a whiff of condescension, that Americans just don't understand the feeling Israelis get when one of their own is captured.
"They cannot understand in the United States what it means when an Israeli soldier is in captivity. In the States, they have I believe several soldiers kidnapped or missing in action. But nobody is concerned about them, or [making] deals regarding their release," said Shalit. "In Israel, it's totally different. The military service is compulsory, and you're not going to the army for a career or a job… it's difficult for the people to accept that the government is not capable of winning back a soldier they sent for a mission — back to his family and his country."
The Netanyahu government hasn't made a decision on the prisoner exchange, but Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Prime Minister, said Israel had an obligation to pay some price in order to get their soldier home.
"It still needs a decision, but we have an obligation as a society. We've got compulsory national service. We've got an obligation to – and the Army feels this way too – every young serviceman and servicewoman, if they are out on a mission we have an obligation to bring them back," said Regev.
In this sense, Regev and Shalit are on the same page – but the details need to be worked out, and Hamas has to agree to the terms.
"The Prime Minister… said he agreed to release terrorists… but only if they don't go back to the West Bank. Because these are the people who, terrorism is their chosen profession," said Regev. "It's not as if we like releasing these people. It's a price we're willing to pay to get our serviceman back. He's [Gilad Shalit] been four years in jail. [The Prime Minister] is willing to pay a price, but not any price."
Noam Shalit has no time for the notion that a prisoner exchange would promote kidnapping of IDF soldiers. "They are [already] trying all day long – just on Friday there was a terror action against Israel [in Itamar]. They are not waiting… if they have another opportunity to attack they do, there is no delay," he said.
But there is an element of convenient thinking here, one that doesn't recognize the potential price in life that would be paid if the released prisoners were to resume engaging in acts of terrorism. He refers to the number as 'several' – not the close to one thousand prisoners that would need to be released – and said that Israel would be able to handle the threat.
"We believe that Israel will be able to deal with the several terrorists that would be freed, and if they are willing to go back to terror or carry out terror actions against Israel, we'll know – Israeli security forces will know how to deal with them," said Shalit.
In practice, Israel wants not to expose itself to risk by releasing its prisoners into the West Bank, and security forces would undoubtedly be challenged by an influx of freed prisoners. But who would challenge this man, who, tortured by the pain of his child, has devoted his every waking moment to securing a release? He goes on – only because he feels he has to.
"What choice do we have? What is the alternative? We need to carry on – otherwise we won't see him alive again," said Shalit.

In these pennypinching times, it's good to know Hawaii offers many cultural activities and entertainment for free, as well as some of the lowest-priced air-lodging vacation packages in years.
Just take a look at Moku O Keawe, a/k/a the Big Island. Currently Pleasant Holidays has deals from San Francisco and Los Angeles that start at $499 per person for nonstop flights with three nights' lodging, double occupancy. Or book your own flight and take advantage of multinight discounts and incentives at virtually every level of accommodation, from B&Bs and modest Hilo hotels to luxurious Kohala Coast resorts.

Those who stay in or near the Waikoloa Resort can fill up their itinerary for free, or for just a small materials fee, courtesy of the Queens' MarketPlace and Kings' Shops programs. Learn more about the intriguing petroglyphs (rock carvings) near the Kings' Shops on a free guided tour with expert Kalei'ula Makekau, who leads the one-hour walk at 10:30 a.m. Thursday-Sunday. On Mondays, you can make a petroglyph rubbing — from replicas, not the fragile carvings found nearby — at a morning class at the Queens' MarketPlace.
More arts and crafts classes at the Queens' MarketPlace, at least one offered daily, include learning to play ukulele or dance hula; creating and playing pala'ie, a solo game of catch using a ball and loop, which players traditionally made from tapa and braided coconut leaflets, respectively; fashioning gourds into decorated drums (ipu heke and bowls ('umeke); and weaving coconut fronds and lauhala (pandanus leaves).
Jeanne Cooper
The MarketPlace also stays busy in the late afternoon and early evening — a good time to just sit and watch something after a morning swimming, snorkeling or hiking. Local hālau Kukui Malamalama O Kona and Halau O Po'ohala offer free hula performances from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, respectively, at the Coronation Pavilion in the Queens' MarketPlace; Na Lehua E Liko No Kawailani performs there from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, while Aulani's Hula Halau takes the stage from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday. The first, third and fourth Thursdays of the month, a rotation of hālau share folklore and hula from 6 to 8 p.m. The big new Waikoloa Bowl amphitheater in the nearby Queens' Gardens will host a free Celebration of Hula, including chant and song, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. June 6, showcasing Hālau Nā Pua O Uluhaimālama and other troupes.
Free concerts are also part of the mix. Respected island musicians entertain from 6 to 7 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays at the Queens' MarketPlace, and 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Kings' Shops center stage. The Merriman's Market Cafe in the Kings' Shops features live music Friday-Monday nights.
Friday nights also bring free family movies, starting at dusk (approximately 6:15 p.m.) in the Coronation Pavilion; May's theme is musicals (screening next: "The Wizard of Oz"), while June brings baseball month ("A League of Their Own," "Little Big League," etc.) Films are rated G, PG or occasionally PG-13.
Click here for the weekly schedule of classes and free entertainment, as well as nearby activities (luaus, glass-bottomed boat rides, etc.) offered for heftier fees.
And speaking of queens: The May 10 Sunday Quiz in Hawaii Insider was a doozy when it comes to defining one's terms. For Lā Makuahine, i.e. Mother's Day, it asked the question: Who was the last queen of Hawaii to have been a mother?
Insightful readers immediately responded with a variety of answers, based on whether they thought hānai (adoptive or foster) relationships counted (in which case Queen Lili'uokalani, who had three hānai children, is correct), or only birth mothers (making it Queen Emma, whose only child, Prince Albert, died at age 4); or if the queen had to be 100 percent native Hawaiian (Queen Kapi'olani for a hānai mother, or for a birth mother, Princess Kīna'u, also known as Queen Ka'ahumanu II, who was a queen regent and dowager queen as well as kuhina nui).
To all that I have to say: Yikes! Good thing I said I'd choose the winners at random, because it looks like everyone's a winner when you don't define your terms. Congratulations to Jan Figari of Concord, who wins the nifty cutting board courtesy of the new Honua Kai resort on Maui, and Michael McCrystal of San Francisco, Reed Casteel of Saratoga and Ward Ryan of Reno, who'll receive smaller mahalo gifts for reading.
