Another new addition to the game is the trick system, which allows you to detach your feet from your bike and pull off some crazy stunts mid-air. Unfortunately, tricks are mapped to the right analog stick and this makes executing them rather difficult and unwieldy. Not to mention, the tricks themselves look like a ragdoll physics engine went off the deep end.
You can also play as an ATV instead of a dirt bike, which is kind of cool, but unfortunately the two don't feel different enough. The ATV is a bit heavier than the bike and it bounces around a lot less… and that's about it. I found that I could complete levels with the ATV with the same strategies that I used with the bike with little adjustment.
There are a lot of other small additions too, along with their own flaws. . There are a couple mini-games that make you use your bike's controls in weird ways, like playing tennis, though these too feel shallow at best. You can make your own tracks just like you could in Trials Evolution, but the track editor comes with little instruction and can get overwhelming very quickly. You can play in local offline races but there is no online mode to speak of.
The whole game just feels like it's incomplete. The sci-fi setting is not fully fleshed out. The story is a nice touch by falls flat. The tracks can be innovative but become generic. The mini-games are interesting but shallow. Everything in Trials Fusion is just an inch away from being awesome but, much like a botched motorcycle jump, ends up falling into a pit instead… a pit called mediocrity. Trials Fusion is fun enough, if only because it gives you a chance to return to the Trials gameplay you know and love, but it's easily the weakest of all three Trials titles. Maybe this will change when Ubisoft updates the game for team and tournament modes, which were not working at time of writing, but for now, the game falls just short of greatness.

Yale freshman Daniel Gelernter announces a new blog to unite college conservatives:
The renaissance of American culture will be the work of conservative students now on college campuses. We have seen religion in America grow weak and we want to make it strong again. We have seen Americans forget the meaning of good and evil, and of man and woman; we want to remind them. We have seen teachers politicize literature, art, and history; we want to restore art for art's sake, and for the sake of truth and beauty – not for politics or "social justice." We want history professors to teach us the truth – not feminism, multiculturalism, or the latest revisionist fads.
There are some of us on every campus, but on most we are outnumbered. No single college has the critical mass of conservative student intellectuals we need in order to resuscitate this country and prepare its next Great Awakening.
The Critical Mass blog will unite conservatives on campuses across the country. It is a stream of information flowing through American colleges, growing with each new contributor and contribution, turning gradually into a river of conservative thought. The Critical Mass blog carries the ideas of today's young conservatives.
Critical Mass ran its first piece three months ago, starting with a staff of three writers from two colleges. We now have pieces from nine different students at five different colleges, and we are ready to announce ourselves to the rest of the blogging world.
Please take a look at our blog, and send us a note if you'd like to contribute.
Incidentally, it was Daniel — and not his father, David Gelernter — who commented at Phi Beta Cons regarding student opinion on Taliban Man at Yale:
The intelligentsia haven't told Yalies what to think yet because even they haven't made up their minds. Students aren't sure how far their liberal open-mindedness is supposed to go.
Hashemi was a member of an evil and macabre terrorist group. Worse yet, he became their official spokesman and apologist to the world for their crimes — the Afghani Goebbels. The Taliban were not, as some suggest, a group of benevolent Afghani governors, but a gang of terrorists….The fact that Hashemi didn't do the actual killing does not absolve him; Goebbels didn't shoot anyone either. Equally, the fact that he is now retired means nothing — he isn't "redeemed" by his retirement any more than a mafia gangster would be. I do not care to have this fellow in my dining hall, my college, or my country.
Based on the mistaken attribution at Phi Beta Cons, I wrongly cited Professor Gelernter as the author of the quote. Today at Phi Beta Cons Daniel comments on the results of a poll of 1,902 undergraduates on Taliban Man at Yale.

I discovered a video that is probably about to be deleted. The video features a 2-star general stumping for Centurion's Watch – a traveling bible-based marriage retreat aimed at military members.
"Centurions Watch is a wonderful way that you can help. Any donation or resource that you can give this organization – it's faith-based. It's wanting to keep families together with the stresses and strains of being apart, being in harm's way, risking their lives for this country. I can't think of a better organization that you can support. So if you want to give back, if you want to have some way you can help, I would highly encourage that you support this organization." – Maj. Gen R. Martin Umbarger
Maj. Gen. Umbarger is the Adjutant General of Indiana. He leads all of the state's Army and Air National Guard and Guard Reserve units. Commanders have to be careful not to give the appearance of selective treatment. I'm surprised that this wasn't vetted and then squashed. Centurions Watchhas a disturbing mission:
Centurion's Watch is a faith-based nonprofit organization that uses practical, thought provoking biblically based education and support to transform America's Reserve and Guard families into strong, healthy and ready military families.
They want to transform existing marriages into "Pray together, Stay together" styled families. Arrogant, and disgusting.
Conflict of interest on Facebook, YouTube
Indiana's 181st Intelligence Wing's official Facebook page advertised a $70/person marriage retreat event sponsored by Centurion's Watch. Atheist service members began contacting me. I'm sure my readers will start commenting there. Please do so, but be respectful. It's entirely possible that both the Facebook post – and the youtube video for that matter- will be deleted soon, so act fast.
Don't non-Christians deserve an equal opportunity? Yes, of course. The divorce rate in the military is very high. Roughly one in every 27 married soldiers got divorced in 2011. The best way to avoid the appearance of providing a selective benefit is to offer a universal secular marriage counseling program. (And don't get me started on the 'Strong Bonds' program.)
Why would the government endorse a such a blatantly sectarian approach? They aren't supposed to. The regulations are quite clear.
(Click to embiggen) After I discovered that video, I pretty much immediately realized that I couldn't fight this battle. That's a rare statement coming from me. Situations like this are exactly why the Military Religious Freedom Foundation exists.
Take it away, MRFF!
Mikey Weinstein, Founder and President of MRFF, makes a devastating case against Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger.
General Craig R. McKinley Chief, National Guard Bureau
Dear General McKinley, I am Mikey Weinstein, Founder and President of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), a nonprofit civil rights advocacy organization currently representing over 29,000 active duty United States soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, service academy/ROTC cadets and midshipmen, reservists, national guard personnel and veterans. For the record, approximately 96% of our clients happen to be either practicing Protestants or Roman Catholics. In the matter referenced below, MRFF presently represents 31 members of the Indiana Army and Air National Guard, 27 of whom are practicing Christians. All 31 of our MRFF clients fear that they will suffer significant reprisal and/or retribution for bringing this travesty up through their chains of command, or to the other "usual suspects" (JAG, EEO, IG, Chaplains) for redress. Thus, they have come to MRFF for us to speak on their behalf.
I write you today about a most disturbing and disgusting matter. As one picture is worth a thousand words, please watch this video to see an astonishingly brazen, bold and blatant violation of DoD regulations, instructions, and directives by the current Adjutant General of the State of Indiana, Major General R. Martin Umbarger.
In this video, Maj. General Umbarger is incontrovertibly endorsing, as the most senior Commander of the Indiana Army National Guard and the Indiana Air National Guard, a private sector entity which is clearly a comprehensively sectarian, proselytizing, fundamentalist, evangelical Christian parachurch organization by the name of "Centurion's Watch". This pernicious and craven video speaks for itself. In it, Maj. General Umbarger apparently violates DoD Instruction 5410.19 (re: "selective benefit"), DoD Directive 1334.1 (re: "endorsing a non-Federal entity") and Joint Ethics Regulation 2635.702(b) ("use of Government position, title or authority to imply Government sanction or endorsement").
In case you need any reminders about the formidable magnitude of Maj. General Umbarger's official malfeasance and/or misfeasance in this present matter, I will take the liberty of refreshing your memory by directing you to review the so-called "Christian Embassy" scandal, which MRFF brought forth into the national media in December of 2006. The DoD IG, several months later in the summer of 2007, specifically faulted a number of senior military officials, including flag officers, for doing essentially the exact same thing in a fundamentalist Christian, parachurch, promotional video that Maj. General Umbarger is doing in this instant matter by officially endorsing "Centurion's Watch" IN UNIFORM.
An additional matter of grave concern here focuses on Army Chaplain (Major) Doug Hedrick, the apparent founder and director of "Centurion's Watch." I am sure you can appreciate the galaxy of nontrivial, potential DoD conflict of interest issues that surround his promotion and operation of his own private sector, evangelizing ministry while, seemingly, concomitantly still in the U.S. Army (Active duty? Active reserve? Active national guard?) in whatever capacity if any, he might currently hold as an Army chaplain. In fact, the mind boggles as to what is actually, as a matter of law and practicality, going on here with BOTH Chaplain (Major) Doug Hedrick and Major General Umbarger vis-à-vis "Centurion's Watch"?
General McKinley, on behalf of our 31 Indiana Army and Air National Guard clients, MRFF hereby demands that you immediately order Maj. General Umbarger and Chaplain (Major) Hedrick to cease and desist from any further violations of DoD and/or UCMJ mandates regarding their overt endorsement of and participation in the parachurch proselytizing organization "Centurion's Watch". MRFF also demands that you immediately and aggressively investigate both Maj. General Umbarger's and Chaplain (Major) Hedrick's comprehensive actions in the development, promotion and operation of "Centurion's Watch". Lastly, in the likely event that you find DoD and/or UCMJ regulatory violations committed pursuant to your investigations, MRFF demands that Maj. General Umbarger, Chaplain (Major) Hedrick and any and all other complicit individuals be severely punished.
Sincerely, Michael L. "Mikey" Weinstein, Esq. Founder and President, Military Religious Freedom Foundation

It seems that no matter what Warren Buffett happens to say or do, it will always find its way into the news. Last week, the billionaire investor was photographed sitting behind the wheel of a brand-new Subaru Outback. When this happened, a blogger at Auto Evolution decided to turn this into a story. The story went viral and mentioned how the Outback fit in directly with the frugal lifestyle of the Oracle of Omaha. CNBC then took to Twitter and shared the news with 1.5 million followers. Subaru then jumped on the bandwagon, posting the story and a grainy photo on their Facebook page.
Warren Buffett – who is now well-known for his modest tastes – was quite flabbergasted by all of the attention that he was receiving. He was even more shocked because the information was wrong. "I've never driven a Subaru in my life," he mentioned in an interview. The day the photo was taken – July 8 – Warren Buffett happened to be sitting in an Outback in the passenger seat. The vehicle was provided as a courtesy by the organizers of the Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, Idaho last week. This happened while his daughter walked inside to pick up their credentials and room keys. "I stayed in the car and somebody snapped that picture," he said.
Everyone knows that Buffett prefers to drive American automobiles anyway. "Once, in the 1960s, when the (Volkswagen) Beetle came out, I had one for a year or so," said the billionaire. During high school, he was the half owner of a Rolls-Royce. For the most part, Buffett prefers cars made by Ford or General Motors. "The truth is, I only drive about 3500 miles a year so I will buy a new car very infrequently."
As a matter of fact, the 2006 Cadillac DTS that Buffett drove only had 19,000 miles on it when he finally decided that it was time for a replacement. In fact, it was barely broken in.
To no one's surprise, Chief Executive Mary Barra of General Motors was responsible for the sales pitch to Buffett. She had flown out to meet one of the largest General Motors shareholders in mid-May in Omaha amidst a serious safety crisis that threatened to stall the comeback of the automaker. This happened around the time that Berkshire Hathaway announced that they had cut their stake in General Motors by about 25% during the first quarter to 30 million shares.
After driving through Omaha in Buffett's eight year old DTS, Buffett asked her what made the new generations of Cadillacs a better vehicle. "She really let me have it," said Buffett. "She told me about 50 things that were better" than the set of wheels that he was currently driving. "By the time we got to lunch – and it's only five or six minutes – she sold me."
However, Buffett was worried – even though he's worth $65.8 billion and the third richest man in the world – that he was not going to get a good price on his purchase. He decided to send his daughter Susie to Huber Cadillac in Omaha on his behalf in order to make the purchase. She then met with a young saleswoman named Madison Willers, who Buffett tells us "couldn't have been more helpful."
Barra made the recommendation that Buffett purchase the ever popular and widely acclaimed Cadillac CTS sport sedan. Willers, on the other hand, convinced Susie that her low-key father might prefer a different option. Later, in a letter to Barra, Buffett says: "My daughter said that her dad's 'car guy friend' (that's you) said he should buy a CTS, but Madison said the XTS would be more appropriate. I think this reflects an evaluation on her part that from Susie's description I must be hopelessly over the hill (a unanimous view among my family)." Buffett then praised Brett Huber, owner of the dealership, and described him as "extremely accommodating."
Barra then wrote a handwritten response: "Dear Warren, thank you very much for buying a GM vehicle. The XTS is a great choice! If you ever have a question or concern, please let me know. It was great to hear that Madison and Brett demonstrated our company value – the customer is our compass. I will look forward to riding in your XTS the next time I visit. Thanks again, Mary Barra."
Did Buffett get a great trade-in price on his previously owned DTS? Not at all. Instead, he chose to donate the vehicle to Girls Inc., a charity for girls.
What about General Motors and Barra? Buffett thinks she's "terrific" and mentioned that he even offered her some advice, based on his own experience, when steering Salomon Brothers through the difficult bond trading scandal during the early 1990s. "When you have a problem, get it right, get it fast, get it out and get it over. That's what I told her."
Buffett knows that the current crisis that General Motors faces will pass. "In the end, it will be what they do over the next 10 years that counts. They've got to deal with the past. It's not easy, but she's the person to do it."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Barnes & Noble ( HPQ) was a big gainer in premarket trading on Monday, as investors welcomed the potential sale of the company's retail business. The firm's largest stockholder, Leonard Riggio, is planning to purchase all of Barnes & Noble's retail assets, according to a statement released before market open. Riggio is also Barnes & Noble's founder and chairman. Barnes & Noble shares spiked 15.47% to $15.60 before market open. Social gamer Zynga ( ZNGA) was another winner, climbing 10.34% to $3.52, continuing its recent run. Shares of the San Francisco-based firm closed up 7.77% during the previous trading session, boosted by Nevada's decision to legalize online gambling. Zynga was also one of the most active premarket Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 2,180,972. Shares of HP ( HPQ), which announced its Slate7 tablet on Sunday, crept up 0.42% to $19.28 early on Monday.

TORONTO--Paul Haggis divided viewers with his new film "Third Person" when the romantic mystery premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week.
And that, he said, was the intention.
"When I was making the movie what I said was that, like 'Crash' was praised and vilified, this movie will be praised and damned in the same breath," the director said in an interview before the screening, alluding to his polarizing best picture winner that premiered at Toronto in 2004. "That's my kind of film."
PHOTOS: Toronto International Film Festival | The scene
And then even more boldly: "If you see this movie once, you'll leave frustrated. It's a puzzle. You have to go back."
Starring Mila Kunis, James Franco and Olivia Wilde, among others, the film examines couples in Rome, Paris and New York, teasing out in elliptical fashion details of their relationships as well as the couples' relationships to one another, offering plenty of surprises along the way.
Critics were all over the map after the film screened. Variety gave it a strong review, describing it as a "'Crash' course in complex modern relationships" and calling it "hearty fare by arthouse standards." The Guardian was less kind. "Third Person is a work of staggering trash; an ensemble drama with the aesthetic of an in-flight magazine, but less classy writing," the paper said.
VIDEO: Toronto International Film Festival trailers
Haggis, a decorated screenwriter on movies such as "Million Dollar Baby" and "Letter from Iwo Jima," is best known for directing "Crash." He's helmed just one movie since 2007, 2010's jailbreak thriller "The Next Three Days" as he spent years writing and putting together the financing for this movie. (Ultimately the film was funded by private investors in Belgium and is seeking U.S. distribution in Toronto.)
Haggis' casting process was a colorful one. Kunis had wanted to play a different role than the one she was eventually cast in. Wilde was nervous about her part until Haggis calmed her down, the director said.
Franco, of course, said he'd play anyone. "I said, 'How about the artist character?' And he said, 'Sure, man,'" Haggis recalled.
Haggis is coming off a tough commercial outing in 2010 with "Three Days," which was made and distributed by Lionsgate. He said the movie's box office left him a little disheartened but the studio's decision to release it opposite a new "Harry Potter" film took an inevitable toll.
INTERACTIVE: From Toronto to the Oscars? Well...
Still, he said the experience helped nudge him toward going independent this time around. "You have a better chance of coming from a place of passion when you're working with one-tenth or one-twentieth the resources. I really believe that."
If the Toronto hoopla seemed a little muted for a director who less than a decade ago launched a Best Picture winner here, it's for good reason: Haggis said he decided to keep a purposefully low profile heading in. "We didn't want to throw a lot of flash powder on to Toronto. You didn't see a trailer. You didn't see anything," he said. "We wanted people to discover this."
He continued: "This film hopefully surprises you and unsettles you as you watch it. It's not a film that comes out and announces itself loudly, it doesn't satisfy you quickly and it hopefully doesn't allow you to forget it," he said. "I wanted to do a film for smart people, which really aren't made anymore. We're pretending it's a love story when it's actually a mystery. It's a film you discover as you watch it. I think people will walk out and try to figure with their friends what the hell the film was about."

Call me biased, but librarians are awesome – whether it's a public library or university. I ran into my friend Mr. Ross Martin at a show in Deleon Springs last week. He works as a librarian at Seminole State College. Apparently he was jumping the gun on some spring cleaning, and low and behold he had a giant plastic tub of zines to donation to our collection. It was amazing.
His donation has a lot of older punk zines in it that will really help fill out our collection. A lot of them are specific to Florida as well. Thanks so much again Ross!

UPDATED: Elderly couple dead in murder-suicide
A Port Arthur elderly couple is dead after what police are calling an apparent murder-suicide.
The couple has been identified by Port Arthur Police as John and Patricia Knight, both 76 years of age, and residents of Port Arthur.
The couple's son discovered his parents' bodies Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 24, around 4:15 p.m. in their residence, located in the 7600 block of Golfhill Drive in Port Arthur, Sgt. Scott Gaspard of PAPD said.
"It's my understanding that he tried to make contact with them. He couldn't make contact with them and went over to check on them and that's when he discovered them," Gaspard said.
Port Arthur police responded to the scene and found that both the husband and wife had suffered gun shot wounds, and it appeared one of the subjects had shot the other before turning the gun on him/herself, Gaspard said, adding that there were no signs of a burglar or outside assailant.
"There were no signs of forced entry," Gaspard said. "We examined the entire house. There were no signs of a burglar ... nothing was disturbed. All of their items of value were in place — the purses, the wallets, the checkbooks, the credit cards were all there."
The positioning of the bodies and murder weapon made it unclear as to whether the husband shot the wife or vice versa, Gaspard said.
"There was no conclusive evidence to say who (shot whom)," he said.
Gaspard also said that neither family members nor neighbors noticed the Knights exhibiting any unusual behavior or arguing leading up to the murder-suicide and there were no signs of a struggle at the murder scene.
Gaspard said he couldn't specifically release the exact illnesses the Knights were suffering from, but did say confirm that the husband and wife had medical issues.
"They both had normal health problems for 76-year-old people," Gaspard said. "When we see elderly individuals take their own lives ... a lot of times, there are underlying health issues that we believe may had contributed and that's the same in this case."
Justice of the Peace Mark DeRouen ordered an autopsy and the couple's bodies were taken to the Jefferson County morgue, where Gaspard said the coroner would look for manner and means of death, types of injuries, common and uncommon gunshot wound patterns like stippling and tattooing and contact wounds to try and better determine what exactly happened in the killings.
He also added that although there were no signs that drugs or alcohol as a factor in the murder-suicide, a toxicology report would be ordered as part of standard procedure.
"There was nothing at the scene that led us to believe that (drugs or alcohol) was a factor," he said.
Investigators are awaiting results from the autopsy.
"Right now it's not being investigated as anything other than a murder-suicide," he said. "We don't think there was a third party involved."

Cue The X Files theme song: Apparently Eisenhower really was "in" with the extraterrestrial crowd. So says a surprisingly credible source. Seriously!
Former government consultant and noted academic Timothy Good says that in 1954, "President Eisenhower had three encounters, set up meetings with aliens, which took place at certain Air Force bases including Holloman Air Force base in New Mexico."
Hang on, Scully -- there's more.
In 2010, retired New Hampshire state representative Henry McElroy, Jr. came forward to talk about his own accidental viewing of a top-secret brief meant for Eisenhower's eyes. And do you know what the document claimed?
McElroy says the document contained information about the existence of aliens in America and the possibility of Eisenhower meeting with the creatures.
Whoa. It doesn't take much to connect the cosmic dots here. Particularly if you're a conspiracy theorist.
Look, I'll be honest: I've always been more into vampires/zombies/ghosts than aliens ... but after clicking my way through a bunch of those conspiracy theorist-ish websites?
Just call me Mulder.
More from The Stir: Latest UFO Sightings Prove Aliens Don't Want to Meet Us (VIDEO)
I know, I know -- there's no proof, blah blah blah. (A conspiracy theorist would say that's because the government covered it up!) But let's just pretend the following theories are true:
Eisenhower's first meeting was with a blond, human-like type of alien known as the Nordics. They warned the president about aliens (not Nordics) orbiting the equator who were hostile beings from Orion. They also asked us to dismantle and destroy our nuclear weapons, stop killing each other, and stop polluting the earth. President Eisenhower refused. (Clearly!)
Eisenhower's next meeting was with the Alien Greys -- a.k.a. the "hostile aliens" the Nordics warned us about. Having completed their orbit of the equator, they came to ask the government for help: Their planet was dying, they said, and they "needed quarters on earth to conduct genetic experiments that might allow their race to survive." In return, the Alien Greys offered us their "advanced technology." Trade you all the humans you can abduct for unlimited tech support!
Guess what? Eisenhower signed the treaty.
Yikes! Okay, I'm freaking myself out now. Gotta stop conspiracy theory-ing or I'll never get any sleep. But seriously ... it all kind of makes sense, doesn't it??
Do you think there's any truth to the stories about Eisenhower meeting with aliens?

Specialists from various Earth system science disciplines recently gathered to address a major question: what will our environment look like in the future?
Of course, possible answers to this question raise even more questions. For instance, if changing climatic conditions were to alter local vegetation, how would this new landscape react to future climatic trends? Answering these questions with certainty would allow us to manage better our natural resources by defining appropriate planning and mitigation actions.
To be able to identify and analyse long-term climatic trends and changes, it is important to have access to near-continuous data of our planet over long periods of time, which is made possible by Earth-observation (EO) satellites.
These data are being increasingly incorporated in various disciplines as tools to evaluate the current situation and to observe changes that have occurred over the last 30 years, since the mainstreaming of EO data. However, in order to provide better model simulations of our climate and the consequences of human behaviour for climate, the various communities in this field – modellers, ecologists, Earth-observation specialists and researchers – need to collaborate and merge their research and findings.
The Terrestrial Biosphere in the Earth System (TERRABITES) research network was created to provide a context that facilitates this interdisciplinary cooperation. TERRABITES is funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) programme, financed by the EC and supported by ESA.
Dr Christian Reick, chair of TERRABITES, described the activity as "a cross-disciplinary assessment of our current understanding of the terrestrial biosphere from an Earth system perspective to improve the reliability of future Earth system projections in coupled climate-biosphere simulations."
The first TERRABITES symposium was held last month at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, where more than 160 participants from different disciplines met to discuss the current research on the land biosphere and to identify knowledge gaps and perspectives for future research.
The TERRABITES activity is very timely as a greater understanding of the Earth system and the effect of climate change will strongly depend on achieving mutual understanding between these communities. Data providers, for instance, need to understand better the requirements of the modelling community, and the modelling community needs to understand better the information content provided by remote-sensing systems.
Today, more remote sensing data is being acquired, developed and delivered to the global modelling community than at any other time in our history. As a consequence, more and more data are being incorporated into climate models. ESA's Climate Change Initiative, for example, is generating, preserving and providing access to long-term EO data sets of 'Essential Climate Variables' and making them freely available to climate research and modelling communities worldwide.
Moreover, archived ESA satellite data will be combined with data from new missions to produce information on a wide range of climate variables. The initiative will provide the international scientific community with a powerful tool to monitor and understand better the state of the climate system and help to predict the effects a changing climate may bring.
ESA is also developing five dedicated satellites, called the Sentinels, to avoid gaps in EO data by providing continuity with current satellite missions. This fleet of satellites, being developed within the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) initiative of the EU, offers improved observational capabilities and a long-term operational commitment. Furthermore, the Sentinels offer a range of synergies with ESA's Earth Explorer missions, selected and developed in close cooperation with the scientific community, to produce new scientific products to challenge and improve Earth system models.
The TERRABITES network will continue to organise symposia and workshops for the next four years to provide a platform for diverse, international communities to come together easily.

I am about to setup a Linux box for learning purposes. I will start with Mandrake 8.2 and in due time move into RedHat.
Well i have some questions:
- Does Linux Mandrake 8.2 or any Linux support USB?
- If so, What about Wireless network card with USB connection?
I've been googling for info but nothing that i have read so far is too clear, mostly it is related to "Yes you can have USB devices, but....."
Any feedback is welcome, Thank you all in advance.


text: Genuinely shocking or tasteless, campy fun? It was sometimes hard to tell which way the Misfits wanted to be taken, and the immense cult following that has grown up in the years after their actual existence (1977-1983) seems divided in its own assessment. Glen Danzig who certainly posseses one of the most recognisable voices in hardcore punk had a penchant for catchy, anthemic melodies, often delivered at warp speed, and his lyrical obsession with grade-B horror films and splatter imagery helped the Misfits build a rabid posthumous following. Glen left the band in late 1983 and went on to form Samhain with bandmate Eerie Von in an attempt to pursue a more frightening musical direction to support his lyrics; Samhain eventually metamorphosed into the much more successful Danzig. The Misfits are still around today in some form or another with just about anyone who is anyone in the world of punk pitching in to lend a hand.

Kids' Inquiry of Diverse Species
Mollusks are a large group of invertebrate animals. Mollusks have soft bodies, and their bodies are not divided into rings like the segmented worms called T Print shirt Stone Neck Banana Republic Bateu 6waqW4S0F . Mollusks don't have legs, though some have flexible tentacles for sensing their environment or grabbing things. Most mollusk species grow a hard shell for protection, but their shell grows in only one or two pieces. It doesn't have joints like the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans .
Esprit Discount Discount Shorts Particular Particular Esprit Salmon There are almost 100,000 species of mollusks around the world, and many tens of thousands more undiscovered. Most mollusk species only live in the ocean, but some live in freshwater or on land. In Michigan there are about 300 species of mollusks known, with more to be found.
There are three main groups of mollusks. Snails ( Gastropoda ) are the most diverse group, there are tens of thousands of species. Nearly all snails grow a spiral shell that is all one piece. A few snail groups have stopped growing shells; they're called slugs . The next largest group is Bivalvia , the Lion Fleece Fire Bogner Blue Ice Jacket EqFxAw . These are mollusks with two shells that they can close up tight for protection. Finally there is Cephalopoda , the squids and octopuses. They only live in salt water, so we won't say much about them here. They have no shells, but are larger, smarter, and faster than their relatives in the other groups. Squids and octopuses are all predators; they eat fish, crustaceans, and other mollusks.

SANTA FE, N.M. — One entrepreneur ran a gambling den beneath the camp barracks. Another published a newspaper called the Santa Fe Times. Some men brewed sake. Others grew their own vegetables to trade for meat with the hospital and the state penitentiary.
During World War II, the U.S. government detained more than 100,000 people of Japanese descent in internment camps spread throughout the West. From 1942 to 1946, the Santa Fe camp held 4,500 of those men behind barbed wire at a site two miles from the Plaza in what is now the Casa Solana neighborhood. The Department of Justice and the FBI labeled them "the worst of the worst." Educated and successful leaders, they were powerful men whom officials deemed the most likely able to assist the enemy if they chose to, Simon said.
Neil Simon's DVD "Prisoners and Patriots: The Untold Story ofJapanese Internment in Santa Fe" is the first documentary to fill the void of silence surrounding the World War II incarceration of Buddhist ministers, businessmen, teachers and journalists from the West Coast, Hawaii and Latin America in New Mexico. A journalist who worked for KOB-TV in Albuquerque as well as in stints in El Paso and in Washington, D.C., Simon has based the film on 20 hours of exclusive interviews with Santa Fe survivors and their families, previously classified government documents and private photographs.
It's a story many fathers never told their own children. Some of the prisoners recalled the cruel irony of being locked up at the camp while their sons donned U.S. Army uniforms. Simon will screen the movie at the Museum of International Folk Art on Sept. 9. In the meantime, the DVD is available at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.
Now working for the 56-country Organization for Security and Cooperation, Simon learned about the New Mexico camp while he was working as a journalist in Albuquerque but could find no information about it. Awarded a congressional fellowship in 2002, he assumed he could research the subject at the National Archives and the Library of Congress.
"When I did that, I realized there was nothing," he said in a telephone interview from Kazakhstan, where he was overseeing parliamentary elections.
Simon started scouring the Internet for camp artifacts and reunion yearbooks on eBay. He discovered a photographer had posted photographs online on Flickr, then traced her to a California Japanese calligraphy class. Two women in the class were the children of survivors.
That connection led to Bill Nishimura, who was interned in Santa Fe for being a member of the pro-Japanese group Hoshi Dan in Tule Lake, Calif., and for declining to answer the government's loyalty questionnaire. Nishimura was the only surviving Santa Fe internee to speak at the site during the 2002 dedication of the historic monument at the camp.
Simon estimates that about 20 camp veterans are still alive. He talked to five of them and their families, including the son of the camp doctor.
He fully expected to encounter bitterness and resentment when he talked to the survivors. He discovered the opposite.
"They had a good time," he said. "They played baseball. They brewed sake; they grew vegetables. They did wood carving and stone polishing. They did acting."
Although some have traced their post-camp silence to shame, Simon credits it to a traditional Japanese term called "shouganai."
"It means letting it roll off the body," he said. "It's, 'Let's move on; let's not hold a grudge.' "
"I think he must have said 10 times, 'Take it as it comes,' " Simon said. "He never was an ambitious man after his camp experience. His daughter was very sad about his whole life. But you got from him this sense of honor and a lack of bitterness."
The men didn't want to burden themselves or their families, he added.
Nishimura spoke of "playing baseball and ogling women when they rode their horses past the camp," Simon said. "One started a gambling ring under his cabin. He had a whole gambling thing going on. There was a poetry club. And they did some hiking."
At just 19, Norman Hirose was likely the youngest man in the camp. He was incarcerated with his family first at Tanforan (San Francisco) then at Topaz, Utah, after asserting "no, no" on the loyalty questionnaire asking whether he would foreswear allegiance to Japan and serve in the U.S. armed forces. The government shipped him to Santa Fe in 1946, telling him he would go back to Japan soon.
"You really got the sense that he was excited and proud," Simon said. "He looked forward to the internment experience, because it was something new."
Aside from being stripped of their civil rights and separated from their families, most of the men said they had been treated well, although Simon documented "two or three" instances of negative treatment from the camp guards.
"Some would curse at them," he said.
Some detainees retained their loyalty to Japan by wearing the Rising Sun symbol on their clothing. Members of the Hoshi Dan, a pro-Japanese movement that grew out of California, were considered troublemakers and shipped to Santa Fe.
"They did military-style exercises," Simon said. "Everyone knew if you were moved to Santa Fe — that was about as low as you could go."
A small riot erupted after a guard tossed tear gas at a prisoner and billy clubs appeared. Officials gloated about keeping the incident out of the press, he added. "A few people went to the hospital."
Camp members were allowed to send and receive mail, but much of it was censored. "There are a lot of letters," Simon said. "A lot of folks said a whole letter would be cut out. This was very routine."
Seichi "Sam" Yamakawa, who died in 2011, was shipped to Santa Fefor stating in hearings that he would not serve in the U.S. Army and planned to repatriate to Japan to care for his mother. After the war, he returned to California only to find people from Oklahoma had moved West and taken over his family farmland.
"I think he must have said 10 times, 'Take it as it comes,' " Simon said. "He never was an ambitious man after his camp experience. His daughter was very sad about his whole life. But you got from him this sense of honor and a lack of bitterness."
"I went into this project thinking every interview would be the same — denigrating the U.S. government and parallels to 9/11," he added. "And to a man, it was the opposite."

STAGE TUBE: On This Day 12/30 - KISS ME KATE
Welcome to BWW's ON THIS DAY Series celebrating theatrical birthdays, openings and special events that took place on this day in theatre history!
Today in 1948, Kiss Me Kate opened at the Shubert Theatre. Kiss Me, Kate is a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. It is structured as a play within a play, where the interior play is a musical version of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The original production starred AlfrEd Drake, Patricia Morison, Lisa Kirk and Harold Lang. Kiss Me, Kate was a response to Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and other integrated musicals, and it proved to be his biggest hit and the only one of Porter's shows to run for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway. It won the first Tony Award presented for Best Musical, in 1949.
In celebration of this day, we bring you the performance from the 1999 revival at the Tony Awards. Click below to check it out!

12.29.12: The No. 11 ranked (NJCAA DII poll) CCRI Lady Knights basketball team traveled to Palm Beach state College in Lake Worth, FL over the weekend to play two road games versus Division I opponents. In their first game they faced the Trappers of northwest College of Powell, WY. The Lady Knights defeated the Trappers 73-66. With the victory the Lady Knights' record improves to a program best 13-1 overall, their best-ever start in program history. Even the 2004-05 Lady Knights' squad, who went 29-4, never had as good a record and was 12-2 at this point.
The Lady Knights played an excellent first half and led by12 points 41-29. However, the division I Trappers played very tough defense in the second half to bring the game close, with the Knights holding on to a two-point lead late in the game. The Lady Knights were able to stay poised, and got a key 3-pointer from Co-Captain Jess Randall (Warwick, RI) to make the score 68-66 with less than two minutes left to play CCRI scored three more points to pull out the seven point victory 73-66 over a tough division I opponent.
CCRI was led by Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) scoring a game-high 22 points with eight rebounds, and a game-high seven steals and Co-Captain Jahira Smith (Norwich, CT) contributed 18 points, four rebounds, and three steals. Also helping the Lady Knights was Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, CT) who charted her eighth double-double in 14 games with 12 points and 16 rebounds, Co-Captain Jessica Randall added 12 points including a big 3-pointer late in the game with four rebounds and three steals, and Treedy Ward (Boynton Beach, FL) added seven points and three steals.
Head Coach Kate Lynch commented after the big win: "We got off to a slow start in the beginning, but we rallied back. We were up most of the game. Northwest made a nice comeback at the end, but we stayed poised and made stops and shots when we needed it the most."
The Lady Knights will face another tough Division I opponent Sunday when they play the Bengals of Louisiana State University-Eunice at 2pm at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, FL.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes.

Ratings for Dr. Brian J. Supple
I've been to Dr. Supple twice, first to remove my gallbladder and most recently, to repair a hernia and check my small intestines due to some severe digestive issues that have lasted past 5 months. He is by far the very best surgeon anyone can go to. He's extremely friendly and immediately puts you at ease. He's a very knowledgeable surgeon and spends a great deal of time with you to go over everything in detail. He discusses your options, and takes the time to answer all questions. He's such a great person, you'd want to have him as a personal friend. Most importantly, he's the only person I trust to perform surgery on me. He has a wonderful bedside manner and follows up with you whether in the hospital or recovering at home. I trust him implicitly. Furthermore, the scars from his surgical procedures are minimal to virtually none. He's absolutely the best surgeon you can go to in Ventura County, and I'd recommend him to my family and friends. He's the best!
Great surgeon! Thorough - made me reschedule me surgery because I (foolishly) drank a small amount of milk the morning of the surgery. He explained why and was firm but nice about it. He spent a lot of time with me, and did a great job. Virtually no post-op pain.
I had a previous surgon . I have to say this is by far my favorite surgeon I would recommen him to every one.
Best experience I have ever had of the 5 operations in my lifetime. His demeanor gave me the assurances I needed to make me as comfortable as I have ever been before the operation. He overstated the possible discomfort I might have after the double hernia operation and there virtually no discomfort. If I ever need another operation I would go directly to Brian Supple.
Brian is one of the best doctors I've had. He is extremely personable, and his bedside manner is fabulous both in the hospital and during follow-up appointments in his office. He spent as much time with me as I needed to explain and help me understand the procedure, and helped calm my nerves. His office staff is extremely friendly and very accommodting. I highly recommend Brian, and although I hope to never need surgery again, if I do, he is the only doctor I will go to.
Dr. Supple is a very caring, thorough, honest surgeon. I had surgery with him last year, and he phoned me the next day to check on me and made sure I was okay in a couple of follow-up visits. Truly excellent and highly recommended.

Hillary Clinton should take FULL BLAME for the murder of J. Christopher Stevens -- the slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya -- and should resign from her position as U.S. Secretary of State ASAP ... this according to Ben Stein.
Stein -- who went to law school with Clinton at Yale and was a member of President Nixon's staff -- was at LAX yesterday ... when he told us, "It was her fault ... and he didn't have adequate security."
52-year-old Stevens died on Sept. 11 during an attack on a U.S. compound in Libya. Clinton now says the U.S. believes the attack was perpetrated by Al Qaeda.
Stein added, "She's in charge ... if she screws up, she should resign."

Is locked-down rehab the answer for Lindsay Lohan?
On Monday, Judge James Dabney ordered the embattled actress, 26, to 90 days at a sober facility, along with psychotherapy and community service. Late to her hearing by 48 minutes, Lohan pled no contest to reckless driving and lying to cops back in June, when she crashed her Porsche.
The rehab sentencing is not a first for the former Mean Girls star, who was ordered to the Betty Ford Center at the end of 2010. The stint at the clinic – her fifth stint in rehab overall – was troublesome, leading to a police investigation over assault of an employee and being accused of sneaking out to buy alcohol.
In June 2011, Lohan was confined to house arrest for a theft conviction, then sparked controversy when she was photographed with cigarettes and a smile during a rooftop barbecue with pals at her Venice, Calif., home.
She even managed to ruffle the feathers of inmates at Lynwood, Calif.'s Century Regional Detention Facility when she stayed there in 2010.
Lohan first checked into rehab in 2007, while filming I Know Who Killed Me. Shortly after her release, she received two DUIs practically back-to-back.

Make sure your company is capable of attracting and securing venture capital prior to approaching venture capitalists. Too many CEOs approach venture capitalists too early in the process and then receive a rejection from the venture capital firm. The company must be able to demonstrate it is pursuing a large (preferably >$1 Billion) and rapidly growing (preferably >15%) market, the product or service will meet a need, and the company will be able to ultimately generate significant positive cash flows, i.e. the cost of goods will be low enough to enable a sufficient gross margin to cover all operating expenses and have a significant operating profit left over.

Users need a way to aggregate and filter all of the information they are receiving on their various social media feeds. Slim is simplified, no-nonsense content - we like to call it "fat-free social media" - so our users never miss out, saving time and avoiding dissatisfaction. Slim is the perfect tool for active social media users who need a "safety net" to ensure they don't miss an important update from one of their networks, to the infrequent user who just wants the highlights from social media.

When leading a virtual firm, first and foremost, you have to hire the right staff, people who understand and embrace the business model you've envisioned and are self-motivated and comfortable working on their own. You'll often be hiring these people over the phone, sight unseen, so it's up to you to develop a well thought-out list of interview questions and a superior set of listening skills. Whenever possible, even if it costs you a bit more, hire senior level adults. While young freelancers may cost less and may be enthusiastic about the prospect of working from home in their pajamas, they most probably have not yet developed the skills that allow them to focus on work and prioritize without face-to-face interaction and supervision.

On the IT side of the business. I see lots of talk about DCIM being facilities side, but the reality is the facilities side of the business is well served by management systems they have been using for years (for example most facilities managers can tell you power to their facility and information about the generator and cooling systems). What has been missing is a management system for the various groups working in, or having equipment in, the DC. These folks use spreadsheets today and need a better solution. In addition the facilities side has little visibility of what the business is planning in terms of equipment deployments and is therefore unable to offer advice or take action. Continue Reading»
Many IT security professionals are still wary of moving to the cloud, according to our recent cloud security survey. This survey measured the attitudes of nearly 300 IT security professionals and it revealed that almost half of them are deterred from keeping sensitive data in the cloud because of fear of possible government and legal interference. There are several reasons why IT experts might be apprehensive about storing corporate data in the cloud. The key issues are data security, government surveillance and cloud legislation.

As businesses continue to morph to meet emerging market demands at a faster and faster rate, the millions of dynamic system interactions that support global business are becoming too complex to manage using statistical methods of predictive analytics. Statistical analytics take a point-in-time view of business and use past behavior patterns to infer what might happen in the future. These methods can be useful for low stake decisions or when outcomes continuously follow previously encountered patterns whereby only the parameters—like volumes and product mixes—change.

Most often, small and medium sized companies do not have copious staff resources and wear many hats as a result. Being spread too thin is not conducive to promotion and marketing strategy as it requires daily management and creativity. General marketing staff cannot keep up with all the various mediums, frequent editorial beat changes, short deadlines, and stories that pop up randomly. An external agency provides media relationships, strategic counsel, candid feedback, prior expertise with similar client issues, and most importantly focus to maximize opportunities and garner available exposure. This is where an external agency can really shine and pay exponential dividends for the thriving small to medium entity. Continue Reading»
Dialogue Marketing uses predictive analytics to anticipate the profile of a consumer which allows us to intelligently route a phone call to the agent that is mostly likely to convert based on life style attribute matching. Another important thing that predictive analytics can accomplish is its ability to identify trends or anomalies and automatically trigger events to capitalize or improve on the real time event. An entirely different predictive result can be found by using data from social media where we can predict if consumer perception is creating a trend that is either negative or positive and if it requires immediate action.

As the industry continues to shift to online distribution of regulated products and services, high risk, data-driven background checks are being used to increase acquisition and onboard customers more efficiently. The result is increasing fraud rates caused by identity theft due to personal information being widely available through data bureaus, public records and social networks. With trust online at the heart of business, we need to change the way personal information is used for consumer verification and to enable greater protection and security for our online identities.

As regulatory bodies continue to dictate security initiatives within heavily-regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare, least privilege management will play a key role in ensuring companies are in line with internal and external compliance. Several compliance mandates, including the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS TRM) now place much greater emphasis on desktop and server security, particularly with regard to access privileges. In fact, MAS TRM has one section dedicated entirely to least privilege, encouraging tight restriction of privileged accounts and only granting them on a 'need-to-have' basis. Continue Reading»
When it comes to the cloud, security is a high priority and concern for businesses—as it should be for all internal and external IT infrastructure. Really, securing cloud infrastructure is very similar to securing internal infrastructure. For instance, operating systems still need to be patched, logs still need to monitored, and passwords still need to be secure. This is not new for any IT manager. What can make securing the cloud tricky is the ease of deploying cloud resources. Sometimes organizations are unaware of deployments and don't have a chance to apply their security controls and framework. Continue Reading»
Before BI solutions there were spreadsheets, and before spreadsheets there were paper. This evolution has first of all helped automate tasks in departments like accounting and finance, but with newer visualization technologies it has become much easier for managers to spot trends in their data and to quickly zoom in on exceptions and variances in their metrics. With web, mobile devices and cloud-based solutions it has also become much easier for any information worker to get the answers they need anywhere, any time. Continue Reading»
PR and social media are still among some of the most cost effective marketing dollars a small to mid-size client can spend. It's about building and capturing mindshare, coming across as a credible resource and a good interview. Stories that run can put a client on the map. We're fortunate to work with clients who are fearless when it comes to giving interviews. The more interesting the answers, the more likely reporters and editors include them in the story. I have one client in particular who has been given a nickname by certain reporters who call when they want a strong opinion on an issue. Small and midsize clients benefit most from agencies that specialize in those clients. The larger agencies put their best talent on the larger accounts. Wouldn't you rather have the best talent an agency can offer? Continue Reading»
The idea behind the Scrambled Secrets is not only locking the door of your safe by using a simple "True-False-authentication-mechanisms" but rather protecting your "values" themselves by encrypting. Your values or secrets could be money or important business data, technical spoken that are files, like textual information, images, videos or other software. The idea to scramble your secrets means to encrypt each value separately. That means not only encrypting the whole hard disk rather encrypting each file or each banknote in your "safe".

British ... in some sense of self ... of nationhood and and and optimism ... are coming out of just a horrible year for reclaim she she she practically resurrected it's um is it is it possible to understand ... how much she did for the British economy without understanding in just the dire state it was a nineteen cent don't think you have to start there was really ... a iam Britain had really been prosperous all that prosper since ... the end of World War two ... Andy got critique Lee worse in the seventies you had the strikes ... everywhere trade union dominance about the kind of gentle more gently than Ian forward these were ... the first Stalinist union sevens and in some cases take ... that literally tried loophole industries ... on they came out of a real socialist ... reduced to the snus mentality you have inflation that was a double digit you have to tax rates in the eighty percent ... you had slow growth ... high prices ... government owned a huge swaths of industry ... and have it all overall lead to a sense of ... falling opportunity Slow Growth ... death accumulating debt ... and that she revitalized on ... it so hard she revitalize that what with the steps that she took in the labor market or non monetary sphere while she ended up putting using a series of steps to break the back of of the the unions rather than one giant hill she did it incrementally industry by industry making the case ... she privatized huge swaths of ... British industry which became frankly a lesson for ... the just United States but so much of the rest of the world Paul Johnson says something like fifty countries imitated her privatization ... schemes where the top British Airways and British Steel ... Republicans ... put it into private hands where could face the forces of competition she cut tax rates across the board she tried to ... revitalize the welfare state like revitalized she had to reduce its rate by IA by making respond more goods and is probably less successful on the up and some other things but she did she succeed in awe so my posture is also responsible really for the revitalization of the City of London ... for the financial ... industry ... under some criticism ... this morning in some of the accounts for doing that ... Ukraine ... one less familiar with her role on that story Frank and I am and some others so I don't know whether what role she actually played in that ... but I think that if you're on the left and you're looking to ... somehow diminish factors influence I suppose you attractive than the blame ... for things that happened twenty years and ... I'll ... he also ferried to impact the United States a close friendship with Ron Reagan's while new issues shows a believer I as most British Prime ministers are but not all ... the special relationship so caught between the United States and and and ... and debris ... and she maintained that ... and I live and therefore has Shiva think ... in part because she had an innate ... appreciation for what's best United States or sense of enterprise ... making the years making better ... on top of oneself an opportunity and she understood that coming out of ... their own middle class background in Britain it's very much the American mentality she was not up ... a prisoner of the British upper classes ... which so many ... British leaders talked and lots of lessons this pose from her experiences success and that ... economic revival ... to our country ... well yes I mean she is she I think you have to understand the Reagan ... and Thatcher in intellectually ... faced ... different ... countries different political cultures ... but they approach the problems from the same intellectual framework ... and that is fundamentally with an overall sense of of of freedom act as the ... driving force ... that creates opportunity ... to create wealth ... and other countries had strayed from that in putting too much authority and power and government meetings every week claimed that the ... rebirth of freedom if you well I think both Thatcher and Reagan did that in their respective countries and to reclaim the rebirth of freedom ... a great lesson ... for a pigeon or Polish ago ... my son ... for being with us

Art works of Farah Negahdar
Odegaard Undergraduate Library and Learning Commons
MS. Farah Negahdar, a mother of three grownup children was born in Iran in 1943. She graduated from National University of Tehran with a master degree in teaching English as a second language. In 1984 during the Iran-Iraq war she left Iran with her immediate family and moved to Austria pursuing better life and later in 1989 she immigrated to the United State. In 1994 her husband paralyzed because of spinal injury after a bad accident and that affected her life severely. Facing all the new challenges with a lot of struggle for taking care of her disabled spouse created stress with negative thoughts and many sleepless nights. In order to free herself from all the negative emotions she started to create greeting cards with dry flowers that helped her to shift her mood to a much happier state and discovering her hidden talent brought more hope and positivity to her life.
Farah Negahdar combined her natural talent and love of flowers to create these exquisite and unique art works, which are hand made from dry flowers that reflect genuine colors and beauty of nature.
Farah Negahdar lives in Bellevue, Washington.

I LOVE that the website has an area for me to choose the size card I want as well as number of photos wanted on each card. The best part to me was the option to choose my card by color. Really a Christmas card with yellow and blue? What was I thinking?

I guess it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that a couple who work as a circus tight rope act decided to get married on a tight rope. But high above the air in front of a crowd of people in Toulouse, France? I can't decide if this is the most romantic, unique, or terrifying wedding I've ever seen in my life.
You know, I could be mistaken, but it certainly seems like the pressure of getting married is enough to deal with as it is — or at least, that's what multiple viewings of Bridezillas has taught me — without adding a tightrope into the mix? I'm glad that priest administering the ceremony got to stand on the ladder of a fire truck, but what about the rest of the wedding party? I can only assume they're on the ground, balancing atop of ornate horses and elephants and hanging out with the clowns. Bet the reception was wild!

Update #2 (8/24/2013):
On Saturday, The Star updated reporting on this unfolding situation, with a separate story that can be found on the home page of this Web site.
Jason Lee, 37, of New York City, a financial services manager for Goldman Sachs since 1998, was arrested Tuesday by East Hampton Town police on a charge of first-degree rape.
Brought into court in handcuffs later that day, he stood before Town Justice Catherine Cahill as Dan Cronin, a Suffolk County assistant district attorney, asked that bail be set at $25,000. Mr. Lee's wife was in the courtroom, along with many members of his family.
"He adamantly denies these allegations," Edward Burke Jr., his attorney, told Justice Cahill. Mr. Burke did not identify the defendant's employer, saying only that he worked "at 200 West Street" in Manhattan. That address is better known as the Goldman Sachs Tower.
A receptionist at Goldman confirmed that a Jason Lee does work there, noting that "there are at least two" men named Jason Lee employed by the firm. Mr. Cronin said the case would be presented to a grand jury quickly. Town police have not commented on it officially. No press statement has been issued. (Please see update below.)
"The matter is still under investigation. It is a fluid situation," Detective Lt. Chris Anderson said yesterday. However, a police source who asked not to be identified said that the alleged crime happened at a Monday night or early Tuesday pool party, which apparently involved nudity, at a rented house on Clover Leaf Lane in East Hampton.
The court set bail at $20,000. Mr. Burke told Justice Cahill that it would be posted immediately. The family went into a side courtroom and sat down together. The court clerks were handed a manila envelope shortly after. Emily Grunewald, a clerk of the court, pulled a stack of cash from the envelope and patiently counted out $20,000 while Mr. Lee waited in the courthouse holding cell. Nicole Shipman, another clerk, counted it a second time.
With the bail money counted out, the clerks signed off on a document and the accused man was set loose. He was with his family afterward when they met for half an hour with Mr. Burke.
Justice Cahill set a nominal return date of Sept. 19 in East Hampton Justice Court, but if an indictment is obtained, Mr. Lee's next appearance will be in criminal court in Riverhead.
Update #1:
In a press statement released Thursday afternoon, East Hampton Town police said that the alleged victim was a 20-year-old woman and that she had been sexually assaulted inside the house, identified as Mr. Lee's, "where several people had gathered." According to the statement, police had been called there after a report of a disturbance that came in to dispatchers at 6:37 a.m. Tuesday.
They said that their investigation was ongoing and that anyone with information about the matter should phone them at 631-537-7575.

Perhaps the most powerful is when you can love someone for their flaws, if you know what I mean.Of course, the cynical answer is that love is just a few chemicals whooshing around our brains.
