Aussie Cook bids Olympic farewell
Natalie Cook's decorated Olympic career is over after she and partner Tamsin Hinchley bowed out of the beach volleyball in a three-set loss to the Czech Republic.
Smarting from defeats to the United States and Austria, Cook and Hinchley fought gamely in a must-win clash before succumbing 21-16, 18-21, 15-11 to Marketa Slukova and Kristyna Kolocova in front of 15,000 fans at Horse Guards Parade.
The defeat drew the curtain on a magnificent career for fan favourite Cook, who competed at five Olympics, winning a memorable gold in Sydney and bronze in Atlanta Kerri Pottharst.
"I don't want to leave, this atmosphere is amazing. It's the greatest thing on earth," Cook said, cracking as the tears welled up.
"I have been privileged to be part of it and I could not be prouder.
"If I inspired just one Aussie kid who will say to his mother 'Mum, I want to play beach volleyball', I am happy.
"I am proud to be an Olympian and an Australian."
Cook was philosophical about letting a chance at another medal slip.
"Sports is not fair," she said.
"There are 10,000 athletes in the world every four years (at the Olympics) and I've done that five times. I couldn't be prouder of that.
"You just want to play more matches out there because it's so much fun, except when you don't win and then you're stuck between devastation and excitement because of where you are and what it means."
Cook said she now plans to take a holiday.
"I committed 20 years to beach volleyball," she said.
"It's emotionally and physically straining. There's no break."
Hinchley said she enjoyed every minute of playing with Cook.
"I am really proud to play for my country and really, really proud to play with Nat," she said.
"She is an amazing beach volleyball player, an amazing business woman and an amazing friend."
US champs prevail
Reigning champions Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh of the US rallied to beat Austrian sisters Doris and Stefanie Schwaiger pair, emerging undefeated from the same pool in their quest for an unprecedented third gold medal.
May-Treanor and Walsh had not dropped a set in their previous two matches but were uncharacteristically error-prone as they lost the first set 21-17.
"We came out a little bit flat and you can never ever come out flat in Olympic competition," Walsh said.
The Americans kept their cool and recovered to take the last two sets 21-8, 15-10.
"Now the fun begins. We're going to see where the draw puts us. We have four more matches to win to become gold medallists, that's our goal," Walsh said.
"We're going to come out on fire. No more coming out flat."
Brazilian pair Juliana Felisberta and Larissa Franca beat Czech duo Hana Klapalova and Lenka Hajeckova 21-12, 21-18 to finish on top of Group A without dropping a set.
In the men's competition, US pair Sean Rosenthal and Jake Gibb produced an aggressive display of unstoppable spikes to beat a strong Latvian pair, jumping to the top of their group and regaining confidence after losing to Poland.
Gibb and Rosenthal, who came fifth in Beijing in 2008 and built up to the London Games with a string of trophies, were out to make a point against Latvia's Aleksandr Samoilovs and Ruslans Sorokins, who had won their first two matches.
"We wanted to prove it to ourselves, that we still know how to play this game," Gibb told reporters after the Americans won 21-10, 21-16 on the hottest and sunniest day of the tournament so far.
Home fans were disappointed to see British men's pair Steve Grotowski and John Garcia-Thompson exit after losing for the third time.
The host nation's hopes now rest with women's pair Shauna Mullin and Zara Dampney, who play their last pool match on Friday (AEST).

Of the 15 houses for sale at this year's Lubbock Parade of Homes, 12 sold during the opening weekend, which began Saturday.
Trey Strong, 2012 president of the West Texas Home Builders Association, said the Lubbock Parade of Homes is an event organized by the group to enable local builders and suppliers to showcase their products.
The parade's opening weekend had a successful turnout, despite the hot and windy weather, Strong said.
He estimated slightly more than 1,000 visitors during the first two days. Each year the parade sees between 10,000 and 13,000 visitors on average.
"It's for builders to be able to show off their stuff, for vendors and suppliers to be able to market their stuff (and) overall show off new trends and technology in the home builders' industry," Strong said. "We have it to raise awareness to the public of this is what we can do, (and) the markets are good."
This year's parade features houses in the Bacon Crest, Fountain Hills Estates and The Canyons at Cooper Ridge subdivisions.
The 2012 Parade of Homes chairperson, Brenda Hawkins, said there are fewer homes in the parade this year.
More realistic and attainable homes are featured, Hawkins said, compared to the million-dollar homes sometimes showcased in the past. It's indicative of the economy, she said.
"Lubbock is a conservative area, so the Home Builders Association is conservative in turn, but it doesn't mean it is less enjoyable, it means we have fewer homes," she explained.
"We had 24 last year. This year there are 16 homes (including the Homes for Heroes home)."
Although official numbers were unavailable Monday, Hawkins said opening weekend attendance was slightly lower than past years, but the percentage of houses purchased was higher than usual.
"That's an excellent indication that consumer confidence is returning," Hawkins said. "Interest rates are at an all-time low. It's a great time to buy. Banks are loaning money again. ... People once again are able to buy a home at a great interest rate."
For the second year, the association chose for a portion of the proceeds to benefit Lubbock Homes for Heroes. Strong said the parade is the organization's biggest fundraiser of the year. The parade is sponsored by Lubbock Homes for Heroes, Atmos Energy, PrimeWest Mortgage, First Bank & Trust and The Avalanche-Journal.
Larry Driskill of Driskill Homes was the lead builder of the Homes for Heroes house, which was presented to the Louis Flores family June 5. Driskill also has a house in the parade.
Driskill has been either a chairperson for the event or had a house in the parade for the last eight years.
He said participating in the parade is much more work than building a normal house. Homes in the parade have a full landscaping package and are decorated and furnished.
Experimenting is possible for builders who participate in the event, too, he said. Suppliers and traders often will give them a discount to feature their refrigerator, brick or front doors in the home because they know 10,000 people will see it, Driskill said.
"You spend 16 days being a salesman," he explained. "Most of us are brick and mortar people more than people who stand around waiting for a question. ... I've grown to like that part of it. I'm a small builder, and I like that I usually come up with a customer or two, or three, or four from having people come through it. It doesn't happen immediately, but a customer builder gets a lot more exposure being in the Parade of Homes than any type of commercial we have here, in my opinion."

We teased him forever, says Keith Robinson. We beat him out of himself. But Patrice gave as good as he got, then gave some more. When Patrice was around, you had to raise your game, says Rich Vos. Bill Burr prepared for even casual encounters with his old friend: I'd come up with a dozen insults, do two or three, and he'd swat you to the ground.
The conversation became the genesis for Quinn's show, Tough Crowd. Patrice was one of the regulars from the start. Quinn would introduce topicsrace, religion, sex, politicsand the other comics would bat them around. The stand-up Laurie Kilmartin, who wrote for the show, admired O'Neal's swaggerto get a word in you just had to wait for him to run out of breath, she saysbut she admired his range even more. He had the ability to go other places other comics couldn't go because he didn't show a lot of bitterness, he showed a lot of curiosity, she says. He would keep the ball in the air.
After two seasons, Comedy Central canceled the show. For O'Neal, its ideal conditions would prove hard to replicate: work that felt like play, raised his visibility, and paid him to be himself. By this time, however, O'Neal had assembled a respectable résumé: the festivals (Aspen, Montreal); guest spots on television (Chappelle's Show, Arrested Development, and more); and movies (25th Hour, Head of State). The half-hour specials came easily: Showtime, Comedy Central, HBO. The development deals didn't pan out, but that wasn't unusual. Meanwhile, the archive of Patrice stories grewthe lucrative offers shunned, the budgets stretched by his time-sucking monologues, the verbal pummeling of executives.
He was also making enemies among his peers. The less frequent guests on Tough Crowd had found him bullying. At the Cellar, he derided Lisa Lampanelli so viciously that she avoided the table altogether. I wasted more tears on this guy than an ex-boyfriend, she told me. It takes a coward to be a fucking asshole in real life, she said, before repeating a remark made recently by a New York club owner: Now Im going to have to say I liked him because he's dead?
But likability didn't rank high on Patrice's list of values. In 2006, he was invited to host VH1's Web Junk 20, a video-countdown show. I don't do Hurry up,' he said on the first day of production, and proceeded to abuse everyone on the set. During the shoots for subsequent episodes, the allotted four hours frequently turned to eight. The crew sometimes laughed so hard that they felt physically sick.
One career strategy in stand-up is that TV brings you popularity, which brings you freedom to do your real work. But Web Junk fans who came to his live performances found an angry Socrates holding forth on race and sex, driving people from the room on a regular basis. What happened to the funny black guy wisecracking about masturbating-cat videos? In 2007, he declined to renew for a third seasoneven when VH1 offered to quadruple his salary.
Patrice wasn't primarily after money; he hoped to inspire some kind of personal reckoning. And so? was a favorite retort. Fix yourself, he'd say. You'll feel better, you'll see. He didn't make it easy. Dante Nero, who sometimes opened for him, recalled one college gig when a young woman yelled, Say something funny! during one of Patrice's philosophical disquisitions. You didn't hear anyone else laughing? O'Neal began. Is it because you weren't laughing? You the type of person who wants everyone to be miserable if you're miserable? Then he turned to her friends: Why do you hang out with her? The girl stood up to leave, demanding her boyfriend join her, but he sat there, frozen, and O'Neal zeroed in on himas an ally. If you stay, it'll be over, O'Neal said encouragingly. Ride it out. The audience started to weigh in. The girl began to cry.
Patrice kept going and going, twisting the knife, said Nero. I give them a piece of candy to get it down. But Patrice thought, It got to be Buckley's' the cough syrup a nasty lesson should taste nasty, and you don't get a piece of candy afterward.' The mixed metaphors here are telling; whether O'Neal was a healer or an assassin could be difficult to say. Between 2006 and 2008, he ministered to the lovelorn on The Black Philip Showoriginally subtitled Bitch Managementwhich he co-hosted with Nero on SiriusXM. On this send-up of Dr. Phil, his advice is by turns poetic and appalling. One moment Patrice is patiently explaining to a heartbroken 20-year-old that he needs to sort through his pain because sorrow carries over to the next relationship, and the next he's berating a female caller for what he considers her inflated sense of self: Tell me why I shouldn't call you a bitch, bitch? Throughout, his conviction that men must fight to figure out how to meet their needs is blisteringly clear.

In case you're counting, this adds up to three different versions of the Death Note saga altogether. The original comic strip is not quite like the animated TV series, and neither are quite like this live-action version either.
There's nothing wrong with that, of course, providing they all get it right in their own way, and though it might surprise some of the pessimists in the audience, the live-action Death Note gets it right. In fact, it actually features a few distinct improvements when you line it up against its cartoon cousins. For hardcore fans, it's neat to see how the movie does things differently, and for ordinary people this is probably the most accessible version of the Death Note story out there.
"The person whose name is written in this notebook will die." If you've missed the Death Note phenomenon over the last couple of years, that sums it up. As it turns out, the gods of death don't harvest souls with anything quite so picturesque as a scythe – instead they simply write down names in their handy little notebooks, and the deaths of their unfortunate mortal victims unreel as planned.
This isn't such a big deal, so long as those notebooks stay where they're supposed to. One day, though, a bored god named Ryuk lets a mortal boy play with his toys for a while. Unfortunately for most of the rest of the world, he winds up getting far more entertainment than he bargained for. His notebook lands in the hands of Light Yagami, who has very clear and very disturbing ideas of what he'd like to do with the power of life and death.
Or he does after a while, that is. The movie plows its own route in some interesting ways, most noticeably when it comes to how it develops its main character. In the manga, it doesn't take long before Light is a full-tilt amoral sociopath with no qualms about murdering anyone who gets in his way. Here, it isn't quite as easy as that. Tatsuya Fujiwara has some of his better scenes in the early stretches of the movie, where initially he shows some genuine fear and uncertainty about what he can do with the power he's stumbled upon.
Soon enough, though, he's over his misgivings, and the movie settles down to the cat-and-mouse chase that made the manga a hit in the first place. It's hard to place precise markers without spoiling too much (and with a plot that's essentially a continuous string of shocking revelations, it's crucial to keep from spoiling anything), but the movie covers roughly a quarter of the original storyline. Misa Amane makes only a very brief appearance, although she does have a cameo or two in background advertisements. Kenichi Matsuyama plays Light's nemesis, the halfway-autistic ace detective L, and he does a neat job of capturing the character's distant, otherworldly personality.
Although a lot of live-action adaptations of anime and manga wind up looking a little cheap by comparison, the production values here are more than high enough. Tokyo by night almost always looks good on camera, and this is no exception -- all the bright lights and dark alleys make a perfect backdrop. The 3D artists who created a computer-graphics version of Ryuk had their work cut out for them, and sometimes his animation is too stiff to fit in smoothly, but he's still mainly included for exposition and comic relief. Light versus L is the focus of the story, and there's no need for special effects there.
Towards the end is where the plot starts to veer away from the original story's version of events (the sequel that follows is substantially different), and the movie does a surprisingly good job of crafting a satisfying conclusion for this stretch of the series. It takes advantage of a couple of characters who played a very small role in the original story, finding a much more satisfying way to tie off their particular threads.
In general, this is a much more satisfying story than you might expect it to be. The writers of this movie version wisely picked the right parts of the original story to condense or cut out, and their ending provides a resolution for this arc while neatly setting the table for the next one. Perhaps they had a kind of advantage there – after all, the authors of the original serial had to keep the chapters coming on a deadline. With more time and more feedback to work with, the creators of this movie came up with a very effective new Death Note.

Identify some commonalities between the characters in the play Trifles by Susan Glaspell and those in A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen.
- print Print
- list Cite
The characters that seem most similar to me in comparing Trifles by Susan Glaspell and A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen are Mr. Hale and the County Attorney, and Torvald Helmer.
A theme common to both plays is the total lack of appreciation, respect and concern shown by the men for the women of the society in which each story is set. The County Attorney is a man who has no knowledge the hard life of a woman. He is quick to believe he knows all there is about the accused, Minnie Wright: in his mind, under no circumstances would she have a right to harm her husband. It never occurs to him that Mr. Wright may have been physically abusing his wife (as the dead bird infers). He makes light of the hard work women do, and dismisses them all in a patronizing way. Mr. Hale is little better.
When Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters express concern that Mrs. Wright's preserves have been ruined, Mr. Hale makes a thoughtless remark from which the play gets its title:
Well, women are used to worrying over trifles.
The County Attorney responds:
I guess before we're through she may have something more serious than preserves to worry about.
And then...
And yet, for all their worries, what would we do without the ladies? (…He goes to the sink…washes his hands. Starts to wipe them on the roller-towel, turns it for a cleaner place) Dirty towels...Not much of a housekeeper…
Through the stage direction, we witness a quiet resentment forming between the women for the men as they search for incriminating evidence; it is clear that Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters can sympathize with Mrs. Wright because their own lives are filled with hours of unappreciated work. Even Mrs. Peters has suffered loss and heartache that allow her to empathize with Minnie Wright's pain.
Torvald Helmer is similar in his belief that he completely understands Nora, and that nothing she does is important. In fact, she is not important. This is evidence by his treatment of her as if she were a child, his expectation that Nora will be a dutiful wife, and his inability to see that his wife has sacrificed a great deal to save his life. Torvald can only see that her actions might compromise his position in society.
When Nora notes that she saves all the money she can (and she really does so she can pay off the loan she took to move him to a healthier climate when he was near death), he belittles her:
...I do really save all I can.
[laughing]. That's very true—all you can. But you can't save anything!
Torvald never tells her he loves her, but treating her like a small child, calling her by animal names:
Come, come, my little skylark must not droop her wings. What is this! Is my little squirrel out of temper?
When the news comes out that she borrowed money to save Torvald, he has little time for the details. He does not even acknowledge her sacrifice or her fears, but berates her:
...I have loved you above everything else in the world.
Oh, don't let us have any silly excuses...Miserable creature: what have you done?
Torvald only relents when he realizes that his reputation is saved, but he has no worries about Nora: only himself. While Nora finally realizes that her husband does not really love her, and has little regard for her as a person, Torvald would be happy to continue as if nothing happened.
The men in both plays show no regard for the women in the play, but belittle and criticize them.

What's behind the Aldi sales surge - and how long will it last?
Cheap German pickleTightened financial belts, a growing appreciation of alternatives to the mainstream supermarket rivals, and value for money.
"With continued high levels of advertising," says Nielsen's UK head of retailer and business insight, Mike Watkins, "Aldi is one of the few retailers consistently able to attract significantly more new shoppers."
Kantar Worldpanel's figures don't contradict Nielsen's findings. Kantar found Aldi took an all-time record 3.5% share of the grocery market for the 12 weeks up to mid May. Lidl has also seen strong sales growth (though weaker than Aldi).
More middle classBoth retailers are attracting more middle-class customers into their aisles - no mean feat when you consider the indifferent success of smaller supermarket players like Netto and Kwik Save.
Brand name avoidanceEspecially if cash is tight and UK wages remain under pressure. Aldi and Lidl have similar business models. Both sell some brand names. But keeping prices down via their own-label staples helps them avoid paying higher prices from major household names.
There's also a focus on weekly deals on the basics and simple advertising (this approach is hardly rocket science). Both German discounters have won awards for the quality of their products; last year Which? awarded Aldi the title 'Supermarket of the Year'.
Graduate trainees for Aldi earn a decent wage - £40,000 - though Aldi insists on a 2:1. Some stores feel fairly back-to-basics, especially when compared with the sheen of a Waitrose. And there's still too much emphasis on German meats and canned fish. But both Aldi and Lidl are improving.
How important, then, are brand names to you?

Having problems with your Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700 Digital Camera ?
My computer doesn't recognise my camera.
\015 When I try to download the photos .... I plug the usb cable but my computer doesn't recognise my camera, so I can't download my pictures .. to the computer. Do I need a driver to download the pictures?..... thanks very much\015
Answers :
Hi There, If you are using Windows xp or vista, you probably don't need special drivers, the computer should recognize what you are trying to do. Just in case, check your owners manual for computer/download info. Also check your usb input or try another usb input to make sure they are working. You could also try a friends computer to eliminate trouble with your own. If all else fails, you could purchase a usb multi- card reader to down load your pics, around $20.00.

|Oasis - Standing on the Shoulder of Giants
|Music Disc Reviews Audio CD
|Written by Brian Kahn
|Wednesday, 23 February 2000
Epic Records
| Performance 7 | Sound 6 |
Giants' marks the fourth studio release from Oasis, once hailed as the next Beatles. One has to be amazed that this band has made it this far by overcoming the very public infighting between the brothers Gallagher. Followers of the band will also note the absence of bassist and rhythm guitarist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan and Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs . Liam and Noel somehow managed to pull things together and have recorded their boldest rock and roll album to date.
The lyrics manage, for the most part, to be uninspiring but are saved by the masterful arrangements of the songs. Oasis has made an art of saying nothing but sounding damn good while doing it. With choruses such as "She go let it out, she go let it in / she go let it out, she go let it in" on the track "Go let it out" and "Put yer money where your mouth is / Yer mamma sez that you was real / Put yer money where your money where yer mouth is / Yer pappa sez that you was real" on the track "Put yer money where yer mouth is" are just two examples of lame-ass lyrics that sound great within the context of the song itself. The band's general lack of meaningful lyrical content might be for the best, as "Where Did It All Go Wrong?" comes across as emotional overkill and tends to be annoying. Noel's songwriting thankfully does not remain this melodramatic throughout the album and in fact gets fairly spirited with "Fuckin' In The Bushes" and "I Can See A Liar".
Giants marks Liam's debut as a songwriter with "Little James." This piece is a tribute to his wife, Patsy Kensit and his son James who he considers his greatest accomplishment. Noel, who wrote the remaining songs, takes a stab at singing and does well. If the brothers do split up it would be safe to say Noel's talent will get him much farther than Liam. Giants does not bring anything dramatically new to the world of Oasis but it does show signs of the bands growth. Fans of Oasis will be sure to love it and those who found the prior Oasis release to be a bit too soft and whinny should also be pleased with Giants harder and bolder edge.

CALIFORNIA / Judge visits San Quentin prison's death chamber / Head of execution team testifies about injection procedures
Published 4:00 am, Friday, March 31, 2006
A federal judge visited San Quentin State Prison's death chamber Thursday and heard testimony from the head of the prison's execution team on the mechanics of lethal injection, in preparation for a constitutional challenge to California's newly revised execution procedures.
U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel spent more than 3 1/2 hours at the prison, accompanied by lawyers for the state and for Michael Morales, the condemned murderer from Stockton whose execution was halted by Fogel last month because of questions about the state's lethal-injection methods.
Also present were pool reporters from the Sacramento Bee and the San Jose Mercury News, who were admitted over the state's objections and briefed other journalists afterward.

The judge asked numerous questions about how the drugs were administered but gave no indication of his views or any areas of concern.
At one point, Fogel entered the small execution chamber, where prisoners were killed by gas before the state switched to lethal injections in 1996. The judge also examined the small, dimly lit room where the deadly chemicals are put into syringes, then injected into tubes that lead into the chamber, where medical technicians have inserted them into veins in inmates' arms.
Fogel has scheduled a hearing for May 2 to 3 in his San Jose court to determine whether the execution procedures pose a significant risk of leaving the prisoner conscious and in severe pain before his death. Until the issue is resolved, all executions in the state are on hold.
Morales, 46, of Stockton was convicted of raping and fatally beating and stabbing 17-year-old Terri Winchell near Lodi (San Joaquin County) in January 1981. His appeals and petition for clemency have been rejected, and the only remaining legal dispute is over how he will be executed.
His scheduled Feb. 21 execution was postponed when prison officials were unable to comply with conditions set by Fogel. The judge wanted a doctor to be stationed in the execution chamber to make sure the prisoner was unconscious from a sedative before paralyzing and heart-stopping drugs were injected. Alternatively, he said, the state could eliminate the last two drugs and have a medically trained person inject a lethal dose of the sedative, sodium pentothal.
Under revised procedures that the state proposed this month, sodium pentothal would be injected into the prisoner continuously to keep him unconscious while the other two drugs were injected.
Some medical experts have said the procedures would work only if a doctor or other medically trained person supervised the continuous flow of the sedative. That could pose difficulties because medical associations consider their members' participation in executions to be unethical.
The state has not included any such proposal in its new plan, and the topic was not discussed in Thursday's testimony.
The sole witness at the unusual hearing was described as the head of the execution team and a veteran of nine previous executions. By agreement with the judge, the witness' gender, physical description and other identifying details were kept confidential by the press pool.
Questioned by lawyers and the judge, the witness said everyone on the execution team was a volunteer who must be approved unanimously by other team members.
Members undergo training sessions of as long as eight hours a day for two weeks before the execution, the witness said. Medical technicians supervise the team member who steadily presses the syringe from outside the chamber to inject the sequence of chemicals, the witness said.
Fogel largely rejected attempts by Morales' lawyers, John Grele and David Senior, to ask about the background and qualifications of the execution team. Afterward, the lawyers told reporters they had learned a lot that could help their case but declined to elaborate.

Stu Ungar: Brilliant but Tragic
There are so many brilliant people on this Earth that could have achieved greater heights had they not died young. Most of them could have attained even greater things had they not stumbled into the world of drugs and alcohol. Stu Ungar, the greatest poker player of all time, was one of these brilliant people.
Born Stuart Errol Ungar on September 8, 1953, to Jewish parents in New York City, Stu Ungar grew up in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Unfortunately for his father, Isadore, but fortunately for the poker world, Stu Ungar was exposed to the gambling world at an early age. He became a champion gin rummy player at the age of 10. At 14, Stu Ungar was one of the youngest, if not the best, gin rummy player in all of New York. He was to become a fixture in the New York gambling scene until he was 18, during which time he left for Miami, Florida, to escape his gambling debts. In fact, he was losing more money than he was earning because of his very generous ways, his inveterate need for high-stakes gambling, and his emerging addictions.
Stu Ungar later moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, when his gin action dried up in Miami. This was primarily brought about by his incomparable skills in gin rummy, his assassin-like style of playing, his supreme self-confidence and sadistic enjoyment in seeing his opponents totally crushed, and his prodigious memory for a deck of cards. He was also exceptionally bad-tempered and foul-mouthed even in a time when dealer abuse and loser violence were common. These traits did not endear him to other gin rummy players, as well they should. Indeed, it would seem that with Stu Ungar, genius and modesty are like oil and water—absolutely unmixable.
When he also demolished the gin rummy competition in Las Vegas, he decided to try his marvelous hands at blackjack. Here too Stu Ungar displayed his outstandingly brilliant skills and photographic memory. He could remember and recite every card in a six-deck blackjack shoe! Stu Ungar was proving himself a card genius, something which seemed totally unacceptable to casinos and gamblers. His phenomenal card-counting abilities would later lead to accusations of cheating, enormous sums of money spent on litigation, and an eventual lifetime ban from all blackjack tables in Las Vegas casinos and just about any gambling establishment. Indeed, the gambling world is a small place, and reputations often precede the player himself. Two good things did come from Las Vegas: Stu Ungar developed a lasting friendship with Bob Stupak, who would later bail him out of yet another financial trouble; and he met his wife, Madeleine, in that gambling city.
A poker aficionado will most definitely agree that Stu Ungar is the greatest poker player of all time, regardless of his tumultuous personal life. When he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2001, Stu Ungar won five World Series of Poker gold bracelets. He won in the WSOP $10,000 No Limit Hold'em World Championship in 1980 and 1981 taking home $365,000 and $375,000 respectively, the WSOP $10,000 Deuce to Seven Draw in 1981 for $95,000, the WSOP $5,000 Seven Card Stud in 1983 with total winnings of $110,000, and the 1997 WSOP $10,000 No Limit Hold'em World Championship for which Stu Ungar came away with $1 million dollars.
In addition to his wins at the WSOP, Stu Ungar also won three main event titles at the then-second largest poker tournament, the Amarillo Slim Super Bowl of Poker. He is the only poker player to have won both the WSOP and the Super Bowl main event titles three times, a feat that a poker player of today with less-than-stellar poker strategies would be very hard pressed to accomplish.
I daresay that not even Phil Hellmuth could do what Stu Ungar accomplished in his short time in the poker table and on Earth. But the professional poker career of Stu Ungar was punctuated and interrupted with periods of poker oblivion, drug addiction, derelict poverty, and a stormy personal life. Imagine the even greater things he could accomplish as a poker player with killer poker strategies had he behaved otherwise. Then again, genius always exacted a price, a price that can lead to an early death.
The poker strategies of Stu Ungar were partly based on his brilliant card-reading abilities. One time, he was up against Mansour Matloubi who tried to bluff him all-in for $32,000. Stu Ungar was undeterred; he told Maltoubi what hand Maltoubi possessed and called him on it. Stu won the pot and beat Maltoubi, but what is amazing is that Maltoubi was holding exactly what Stu Ungar told him he was holding. Of course, it would be grossly untrue if I am to say that Stu Ungar was nothing but an outstanding card reader. That would reduce him to the ranks of the tarot card readers, resorting to guesswork about the future. The genius of Stu Ungar lies in his killer instincts, the ruthless desire to never become a good loser. His poker strategies were almost flawless, his play possessed a no-mercy, no-nonsense attitude, and he combined poker artistry with intense focus and the lust for poker blood.
There are many stories about Stu Ungar and his abilities as a poker player. Unfortunately, these have been overshadowed by the aforementioned attitude and behavioral problems. He abused others much as he abused himself. With his cocaine and drug addiction, plus his high-stakes gambling, he would suffer through alternating periods of wealth and poverty, divorce and his adopted son's suicide. He finally died almost penniless in a hotel room from a heart attack caused by his lifestyle and by the accidental mix of cocaine and painkillers. Sadly, the story of the greatest poker player ends tragically.

Fed's Stein Resigns to Return to Teaching at Harvard
Jeremy Stein, a Federal Reserve governor who has expressed concerns about the risks that the central-bank's easy money policies could spark financial instability, is resigning effective May 28.
Mr. Stein, 53, an economics professor on leave from Harvard University, will return to Cambridge, Mass. to teach again, he said in his resignation letter to President Barack Obama. Although he didn't elaborate on his reasons for leaving, under university rules, the Fed official risked losing his Harvard tenure if he remained at the central bank beyond May.

Reuters journalist freed in Iraq after 12 days
By Alastair Macdonald
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi journalist working for Reuters
was released from U.S. military custody at Abu Ghraib prison in
Baghdad on Thursday after 12 days in detention.
home town of Ramadi on May 20 when he went to a U.S. base to
retrieve Reuters telephones taken from him earlier that week.
He spent five months in U.S. custody last year before being
released without charge in January.
Though again no specific allegation or charge was leveled
against him, U.S. officials said last week he was held as a
security threat. Marines interrogated him intensively about his
work as a journalist in the restive Sunni province of Anbar.
The Marines did not contact Reuters at any stage and
neither his employer, his family or lawyer had any access to
Senior U.S. commanders in Baghdad were, however, in contact
with Reuters and once he was transferred to their direct
control two days ago, Mashhadani was released under a
fast-track procedure for reviewing the detention of
That system was put in place by the military after it held
Mashhadani and two other Reuters journalists last year.
Reuters' Managing Editor David Schlesinger said the
London-based news agency welcomed the cooperation of military
officials in Baghdad but was concerned at the journalist's
initial arrest and lengthy interrogation in Ramadi:
"We are hoping for an explanation from the Marines of why
our journalist was again subjected to this treatment for over a
week when his integrity and professionalism had already been
amply demonstrated to them during his previous internment."
Under U.S. rules, local commanders can hold people for 14
days before releasing them or sending them to Abu Ghraib.
"We appreciate the critical role objective journalists play
in covering events in Iraq and recognize that the execution of
their responsibilities may put them at various locations on the
battlefield. We clearly do not want to generate the perception
that we are discouraging their presence," said Lieutenant
Colonel Keir-Kevin Curry, spokesman for detainee operations.
"In cases where the individual was performing a legitimate
function and not determined to be an imperative security threat
an expedited release would be appropriate."
As many as seven journalists for international media groups
were held by the U.S. military in Iraq at one stage last year.
One such journalist, from Ramadi, is currently being held.
Mashhadani, who reports and provides video and pictures, is
one of a small number of journalists providing news from Anbar
province, where U.S. Marines and Sunni Arab insurgents,
including al Qaeda militants, are locked in a fierce conflict.
Killings of journalists by all sides in Iraq have made it
the deadliest war for the profession and reporters in Anbar,
like Mashhadani, work under permanent threat from militant
groups hostile to the international media.
Among Mashhadani's recent stories was reporting from the
town of Haditha in March. Following Time magazine's revelation
of accusations that U.S. Marines shot dead 24 civilians there
in November, he filmed fresh interviews with local officials
and residents that were widely used by international media.
A U.S. military investigation is nearing a conclusion and
U.S. officials say charges, including murder, may result.

Pounds Off at midway point
Published 7:00 am, Sunday, April 24, 2011
Sometimes it's not about losing a lot of weight. Sometimes it's more about supporting others in their quest to diet and exercise and become healthier.
That's the story behind The Rib Bone and Ham Hocks team in the Pounds Off Plainview competition, which this week lost the greatest percentage of weight as the weight-loss competition reached its midway point.
Team captain Ana Lisa Garcia explained that her cousin, Ricky Garcia, is considered the Rib Bone of the team.
"Ricky is the thinnest one," Ana said. "We didn't think he had any weight to lose."
Still, Ricky wanted to be a part of the team so he could support the other members, including his wife, Eva, and his brother, Roland.
"He's mostly doing it so he can give them some motivation," Ana said. "He's keeping everybody motivated."
The fifth member of the team is Lupe Hernandez, a friend from Lockney. They all receive prizes from one of the following food establishments: Sonic, Chili's, Furr's, Casseroles To Go, Vista Grande Dairy, Burger King, Cotton Patch and Panhandle Popcorn.
Ana said team usually meets twice a day to exercise at the YMCA, which is one of the sponsors of the fourth annual contest along with Covenant Hospital Plainview, the Plainview Chamber of Commerce and the Herald.
"We hit the gym at 5:30 in the morning when they open and work out for about an or so, then after work we all get together again and get after it," Ana said, adding that they rotate between exercising on the treadmill and lifting weights. "We also watch what we eat," making sure to control their portions.
"We're trying to keep each other motivated so we can get to our goals together," Garcia said.
The five members of The Rib Bone and Ham Hocks lost 12.8 pounds last week, representing 1.36 percent of their total body weight. Of the 36 teams in the competition, they were the only one to lose more than one percent, although a couple of others got close.
All Business (Carolyn Baker, Joe Barrera, Rick Garcia, Norma Torres, Becky Villanueva and Roy Villanueva) was second, having lost 11.4 pounds, or 0.98 percent. Coming in third were the Jail-e-Rolls (Jennifer Ward, TyShawn Calicutt, Virginia Saucedo, Cathy Sanchez, Stormy Hayes and Frankie Watson), who dropped 10.4 pounds, or 0.96 percent.
Through four weeks, last year's champion Fired Up is looking good on its bid to repeat, having lost the greatest percentage of weight to date at 8.36 percent. Fired Up (Robert Espinosa, Jaclyn Espinosa, Tony Flores, Tony Martinez and Abby Morales) was not eligible for weekly prizes this time because not all team members weighed in a week ago, but as of this week they've lost 94.8 pounds.
All Business is running second at 6.68 percent (82.2 pounds) while the Jail-e-Rolls are third at 5.26 percent (59.2 pounds.) (See results for all teams on Page 3B.)
Team members are reminded that every member of a team must weigh in at least two weeks in a row to be eligible to win weekly prizes. Weigh-in times are 7-9 a.m. and 5-7 p.m. Thursdays and 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Fridays at the YMCA. Participants can weigh in as a team or individually.
The competition ends May 20, and the team that loses the greatest percentage of weight from start to finish wins the grand prize being furnished by United Supermarkets.
