Melania Trump, left in 2016 and current First Lady Michelle Obama, right in 2008.
A Truth Journal: Election 2016 GOP Convention Disasters: Plagiarized Melania Speech, Rejecting Rule of Law. Trump Truly Not Ready To Be President?: From Denny: Two major disasters for the Republican Party just on day one of their much touted Trump style showbiz convention. First up? The political party that lays claim to - and totally brain washes their followers into believing with such conviction - is that they are the party of "the rule of law." Well, until that "rule of law" no longer serves their immediate political purposes and grab for power so they blow on past that "rule of law" like a winter north wind on a subzero cold day....
How the GOP Foiled the Never Trump Movement
What happened that day is very telling about what kind of a disappointment Trump would be if he was elected President: A Truth Journal: Election 2016 GOP Convention Disasters: Plagiarized Melania Speech, Rejecting Rule of Law. Trump Truly Not Ready To Be President?
So much goes on beneath the ocean waves, another universe of interesting Life!

For the past few weeks, I noticed that ppl left links for trailers, NG clips, and music videos on the posts. Since they are older posts and might not get viewed, I wanted you guys to have a place to link them. This space is for all of us to shares news or if you have questions about current dramas, you can ask here.
For those of you asking about live streaming sites – each drama thread on soompi always has some kind soul who tells them where and how to watch live streaming. I just never paid attention cuz I always just watch it on tv or from my cell phone if I am outside and running late to do a recap. Sorry – the only thing I can recommend is to do what I do every night- download torrent and download a hard copy. You can always delete it if you don't want it to take up space on your computer.
Special thanks:
Kcomments- I am so glad we got to "meet" during SKKS. Thank you for continuing to provide all the trailers, ratings, MVs, and insights. Having you around makes me feel like our old skks days where we would trade off giving highlights of the drama. What I forget to mention, you fill in and vice versa. With your contributions, we get to see what other dramas are up to. Hope we can continue to team up for more great dramas in the future. 🙂
Iviih – yay you found us ever since I saw you post videos – I wanted to find a place to showcase them Iviih. you have no idea how many back posts of CYHMH I had to go thru to find your videos to rewatch them. I see some of them are here now -YAYYYYYYYYY-thank you so much.
Thanks wickedinutopia
You got all my fav scenes in one video and that's the song S was listening to on the park bench on 49 days – lyrics really fit the love story between D and W. This week is unbearable cuz I am dying to find out what happened after the hand kiss on CYHMH. Let's hope there are more great scenes every weekend for you to make videos and share with us:)
Thank you Jomo for sharing all your wonderful insights, videos, and hanging in there after what MBC did to you – they don't deserve you, but we sure are glad you are with us here and at TP. Everything you do to enrich our viewing experience is greatly appreciated. 🙂
For some odd reason, new comments are not going to the bottom and keep going to the middle and then making the middle thinner so videos become vertical. Had to watch my D video with his face the size of my thumb so something had to be done.
To alleviate the problem somewhat, please do not reply to video comments – just press reply on a non video comment on the bottom of the page so that the videos in the middle do not start to shrink in size again – I had to delete 4 comments and put them elsewhere to get the videos to go back to their normal size- hoping this doesnt happen again with the next page. 🙂
A new page will be open to post more videos, mini-recaps, and just talk about the current dramas.

NEW YORK – "The Boston Marathon," my 8-year-old daughter Danya wrote in an essay the day of the race, "is the world's oldest annual marathon. More than 20,000 people run in the race," she went on, "and more than 500,000 people watch it live."
Those 20,000 runners, as well as the 500,000 spectators and the hundreds of millions who watched remotely, suffered a grievous blow on Monday.
Some of those runners ran the last race of their lives after losing their legs to ball bearings and nails planted by the dastardly perpetrators. One 8-year-old boy, a huge sports and running enthusiast, will never again have the chance to compete. One student visiting from China won't be returning home.
But the nature of running, and the American spirit, is that we run on, despite the odds, and without fear.
Exactly 15 years ago, I finished the same Boston Marathon now marred by terror, hobbled down Boylston Street cheered by the same raucous crowds, crossed the same finish line disfigured by cowardice, and cooled down in the same Copley Square mauled by the blasts.
The unique cocktail of exhaustion and exhilaration that accompanies the completion of a marathon is drunk only by a few, but the buzz is shared by those urging the entrants not to despair. It's the very ordinariness of the competitors in a sporting event like a 26.2-mile race that inspires spectators to give it a go themselves. Folks one year holding motivational signs (one of my favorites from this year's Carlsbad Half-Marathon read, "That's not sweat – it's your fat crying!") will in turn be motivated by similar signs the next year.
And in tragedy, too, spectators and runners were inextricably bound together. Scenes of heroism abounded in Boston, with runners who'd just finished the race applying tourniquets to the legs of those in the stands, and vice versa. The bombings themselves seemed to further the unity felt by participants and observers alike.
Interestingly, many communities choose to observe and remember tragedies like 9/11 through charity runs or walks, like the ones in New York, Washington D.C., and even Sacramento. Back home in North County, after Chelsea King was abducted and slain while taking her usual run, her parents and community supporters organized "Finish Chelsea's Run," now an annual tradition.
The anxiety and sadness that linger even years after a trauma give way, however temporarily, to a physical and emotional catharsis generated by the visceral, foot-to-the-pavement act of running. "The more restricted our society and work become," Sir Roger Bannister, the first man to run a sub-four-minute mile, once said of running, "the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable."
Indeed it is, and so it will be with Boston, too. When news first broke here in New York, I was too shaken up to pull on my sneakers. As I walked through Central Park that evening, it seemed eerily quiet, devoid of the hundreds of runners who every day course through its trails and roads.
But by the next day, a certain defiance had taken hold. Runners, myself included, returned to the park, and many proudly wore their distinctive blue-and-yellow Boston Athletic Association gear in solidarity with those who ran, but didn't finish, Monday's race.
In fact, in the Big Apple, a kinship with Boston unseen since the Revolutionary War has suffused the hearts of even the most ardent Yankee fan. "We stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends in Boston, as all Americans do," said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Yankee officials hung a sign outside the House that Ruth Built bearing a Yankee and Red Sox logo and the words, "United We Stand." And during the third inning of Tuesday's game, Yankee fans belted out Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline," the unofficial anthem of the Red Sox much as Bostonians humbly crooned Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
So let us continue to find an outlet for our craving for freedom and for the unity of the human spirit. "The Boston Marathon," my daughter concluded, "is known as one of the best marathons in the world." It sure is, Danya, and long may it continue to bring us together.

Last week, I wrote about the decision owners of previous versions of the iPad face over whether to shell out at least $500 for the new model that will go on sale at 8 a.m. Friday. (That blog post also ran as a print column in the Chronicle on Wednesday.)
For iPad 1 owners, the upgrade will be dramatic. But it's not so easy for iPad 2 owners, who may lust after the 2,048-by-1,536-pixel screen, LTE connectivity and an improved camera but balk at paying big bucks for a tablet after doing so less than a year ago.
You could always sell that iPad 2 to raise some cash on eBay or Craigslist or even directly to someone you know, but that can be a hassle.
The simplest thing, of course, would be to trade in your old iPad for a substantial discount on the new one. Well, guess what: Simple is here.
Apple has opened its Reuse and Recycling program to include the iPad 2, offering as much as $320 off the device when you sell it back to the company, The Next Web reports. That's the credit Apple will give you — in the form of an Apple Store gift card — for a 64-gigabyte iPad 2 with Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity in near-perfect condition.
Of course, the amount you receive depends on the model and condition of your older iPad. The Next Web rounds up what's being offered for excellent condition iPad 2s:
- Apple iPad 2 16GB WiFi $205
- Apple iPad 2 16GB WiFi + 3G $250
- Apple iPad 2 32 GB WiFi $245
- Apple iPad 2 32GB WiFi + 3G $280
- Apple iPad 2 64GB WiFi $275
- Apple iPad 2 64GB WiFi + 3G $320
Apple also will buy back original iPads, though the amount you can get for those is substantially less. My original iPad is the 16-GB, Wi-Fi-only version, but it's in perfect condition. While it will be passed on to my lovely wife when my new iPad arrives Friday, I plugged it into Apple's estimator and it came back with this:
Of course, there are several other companies that will buy your used iPad, including Amazon.com, Gazelle and even Radio Shack, which lets you drop off your iPad at participating stores. (My family has bought three iPhone 4s from Radio Shack, trading in their older iPhone 3G models for substantial savings.) The Cult of Mac has a nice guide to selling your iPad to raise cash for a new one.
If you take advantage of Apple's program, it may take a while to get your gift card. Apple will supply the packaging and pay shipping, but you'll have to send in your device and have it evaluated before the card is issued. PowerOn has been hired to put a price on the trade-ins, and if the condition is not as peachy as you claimed in the estimator, your gift card could be less than originally indicated.
So, don't expect to have it in time for Friday's launch of the new iPad if you take Apple's route. If you order online once you get your gift card, you may have to wait even longer: iPads ordered now won't ship for two to three weeks because of demand.
By the way: If you're planning on queuing up to buy a new iPad at an Apple Store (other retailers will be selling them, too) and you're in Houston and a Twitter user, please tweet about your experience using the #houpad hashtag. I'll be gathering updates and compiling them into a TechBlog post, as I have in the past. Your updates and photos could become a part of the coverage.

"The Golden Masks"
was originally published in the September 1, 1936 issue of The Shadow Magazine.
A secret society composed of robed and hooded members who wore thin gold masks
over their faces. Their membership names were assigned from the Greek alphabet:
Alpha, Omega, Epsilon, Mu... Together, they were comprised of some of the
highest and wealthiest men in society. Yet they conspired to wring millions from
the pockets of innocent men.
First was James Lengerton, president of the Oceanic Steamship Co. He was
threatened with blackmail if he didn't hand over a cool half-million in cash. He
refused and was promptly whisked away secretly by the hooded men. The Shadow was
close on the trail.
Can The Shadow now stop the future schemes of this evil menace? Can he avoid the
mysterious gas that robs men of all strength? Can he escape from the prison cell
deep below ground in a hidden headquarters? Can he unmask the leaders of the
strange clan known as the Golden Masks? Yes, he can! And reading how he does
these things makes for exciting reading that you won't want to miss.
This story brings in nearly all of The Shadow's agents. Here we find Harry
Vincent, Hawkeye, Cliff Marsland, Moe Shrevnitz, Burbank, Jericho Druke and
Tapper. Yes, the gang's all here!
It's nice to see Jericho Druke, one of The Shadow's lesser agents, in a featured
role in this story. Druke is one of the few Shadow agents that has a "real" job.
He runs an employment agency in Harlem. But occasionally, he is called upon by
The Shadow to render aid in various situations.
Of course he wasn't the only agent to have a real job. Clyde Burke was a
reporter for the New York Classic. And Rutledge Mann was an investment broker.
But both used their occupations to assist The Shadow. Burke used information
gathered as a reporter in helping The Shadow. Mann used information gathered in
the investment game to also help. Druke, on the other hand, never seemed to use
his occupation to assist The Shadow. He just closed the firm for a few days when
called upon by The Shadow.
One final note is about The Shadow's girasol ring. We are often given a detailed
description of the stone, but rarely the setting. According to this story, the
stone is set in a simple gold band. That's all. Nothing ornate to match the rest
of the ring. Just a simple gold band. At least, that's the description given in
this story.
"The Unseen Killer" was originally published in the December 1, 1934 issue of The Shadow Magazine.
Just what makes this story so special? Ask yourself this: "If The Shadow took on
the Invisible Man, who would win?" Well, if Walter Gibson was writing it, The
Shadow would most surely win. And Gibson did write it. And this is the story!
It all starts in the strange laboratory of Professor Melrose Lessep. Lessep, a
tall, wild-eyed inventor with a huge shock of unkept white hair, certainly
appears deserving of the title "eccentric." Business men have come to Professor
Lessep to invest in his latest invention. He has created a machine which
devisualizes solids. That's right, it turns them invisible.
Findlay Warlock, president of the Centralized Power Corporation, is desperate.
He has run the corporation nearly into bankruptcy with his poor business
investments. Not that it's his fault. He was a victim of fraud. But that's
neither here nor there. He needs money, and Professor Lessep's new invention
promises to be a badly needed windfall.
Warlock stands in Professor Lessep's laboratory with the newly appointed
executive secretary Marray Darring. They watch as Professor Lessep's assistant
steps into a glass cabinet. The glass frosts up, impairing the view of the
assistant. Then the doors open; the assistant has vanished from sight! The
professor has truly found the secret of devisualization. The unseen assistant
runs from the glass cabinet, unbolts the laboratory door, and makes his escape
into the night, completely invisible.
And then the murders start. Murders committed by the Unseen Killer. First,
there's Professor Lessep, himself. The crime is preceded by a warning note from
the Unseen Killer which the professor disregards. Shortly thereafter, the
professor is killed in a mysterious manner which only an invisible man could
accomplish. Along with the professor goes the secret of invisibility. His
machinery won't work, and there are no plans in writing. They were all in the
professor's head.
But this isn't the only murder. There are more. Many more. And each is
accomplished under circumstances that point to a madman who can't be seen. The
forces of law and order, personified by Commissioner Wainwright Barth and
Detective Joe Cardona, are stumped. There seems no way to stop the Unseen
Killer, even though he boasts of his crimes in advance. Only one man can stop
him. Only one man can capture the Unseen Killer and stop his reign of terror.
And that man is... The Shadow!
It's a great story from The Shadow's early years. This one features The Shadow's
oft-used disguise of Lamont Cranston. Agents of The Shadow also appearing in the
story are newspaper reporter Clyde Burke, trusted agent Harry Vincent,
underworld link Cliff Marsland, and crafty tracker Hawkeye. Also seen in minor
roles are two early appearances by lesser agents: pushcart vendor Pietro and the
big African named Jericho Druke.
Since this was early in the series of Shadow novels, Hawkeye wasn't a full agent
of The Shadow yet. In this story, he's still working for Slade Farrow, and only
takes orders from The Shadow indirectly. And Moe Shrevnitz, the erstwhile cab
driver, is only a part-time "emergency" aide.
The next three paragraphs contain a "spoiler" so read on at your own risk!
This is the story that introduces a new agent for The Shadow, one who appeared
in the magazine stories with great regularity right up until the end of the
series in 1949. Miles Crofton, who is The Shadow's pilot, appears here for the
first time. Crofton, a war hero, soldier of fortune and stunt flier, appears
here as Professor Lessep's assistant. Yes, it's Crofton who is suspected of
being the Unseen Killer.
One of the drawbacks of reading these stories out of chronological order is that
we occasionally know things that we aren't intended to know. It's like knowing
the future. We know, having read later Shadow stories, that Crofton goes on to
become a valuable aide of The Shadow. So we know that he can't be the Unseen
Killer. And that spoils the story.
Walter Gibson has carefully crafted the story to make it appear that Crofton is
actually the guilty party. Only at the story's end are supposed to discover that
Crofton is innocent and has been framed. Had we read these stories in
chronological order, we would have fallen for the trick. But since we already
know that Crofton is one of the "good guys," we see through the trick from the
very beginning. It lessens the impact of the story and dampens the enjoyment of
the surprise ending.
A couple of notes of interest regarding this story. In the early Shadow stories,
Commissioner Weston and later Commissioner Barth both considered The Shadow to
be a myth rather than a real crimefighter. That's the case in this story. It's
interesting to note how Barth's false belief is carefully preserved, in that
whenever The Shadow appears, Barth doesn't see him. Even when both are in the
same room...
It's also interesting to note that never once in the entire story does Walter
Gibson use the term "invisible man." Makes you wonder why. The hit Universal
movie starring Claude Raines had just been released the previous year and was
foremost in the public's mind. Perhaps the omission was intentional, for legal
reasons. The original 1897 story was still under copyright. H.G. Wells, the
author, was still living. Perhaps that had something to do with the avoidance of
the "invisible man" term.
A final note of interest is that The Shadow's hidden sanctum is always bathed in
the glow of a bluish light. It's been that way in every Shadow story I've ever
read, regardless of whether it came before or after this particular one. But in
one scene in this story, The Shadow removes the blue incandescent and screws in
a normal white frosted bulb. And for that one moment, The Shadow's mysterious
sanctum is revealed in a white glow. Never before, and perhaps never again,
would that happen. A most singular event!
Olsen was first introduced to The Shadow in the early 1960's, tuning in to
rebroadcasts of his adventures on KEX radio in Portland, Oregon. Several years
later, John was drawn to a hardback book entitled "The Weird Adventures of The
Shadow," containing three Shadow novels reprinted from the old pulp magazines.
The pulp Shadow was a far different character from the beloved radio version, but
the stories drew him in and opened his eyes to a richer version of the hero.
Today, John is retired in Sherwood, Oregon. He has read all 325 of
the old Shadow pulp mysteries and enjoys them so much that, as of this writing,
he is well over half way through reading them all again for a second time.

John Oliver Steps Into 'Adult Clown Shoes' On 'The Daily Show'
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
And my guest in this part of the program has brought oracular authority to a three-month fill-in stint on Comedy Central this summer. With Jon Stewart off directing a film, the anchor chair at "The Daily Show" has been occupied by the show's senior British correspondent, John Oliver, whose own stand-up show on Comedy Central starts its fourth season tonight. And John Oliver joins us from New York. Welcome to the program.
JOHN OLIVER: Thank you very much for having me on the program.
SIEGEL: Thank you for slumming with us. How do you like being an anchorman so far?
OLIVER: It's a pretty weird experience sitting behind that desk. Yeah. I knew that I was going to have some almost comically oversized shoes to step into. But, yeah, I definitely feel like a child wearing a full adult clown pair of shoes.
SIEGEL: You've had a very good run of material. The world has obliged you. Edward Snowden trapped in the transit lounge of the Moscow Airport.
OLIVER: Right.
SIEGEL: Anthony Weiner returns to...
OLIVER: Anthony Weiner is the gift that cannot stop giving.
OLIVER: He gives and he gives and he gives.
SIEGEL: You did have the - on the more serious side - the George Zimmerman trial, the Detroit bankruptcy.
OLIVER: That's right. And you can throw some Supreme Court rulings in there as well, the Voting Rights Act and gay marriage. So, yeah, it has been - summer is usually a slower time. I was definitely prepared for it to be slower, and it has not worked out that way in any shape or form. So, yeah, I'm grateful as a comedian and slightly demoralized, occasionally, as a human being.
OLIVER: And those two things are always very different.
SIEGEL: Well, let's take a listen now to the story of all stories. Lucky you, the British - the senior British correspondent, were anchoring the program to tell America about a royal birth. Here is some of your reportage and analysis of that story.
OLIVER: It was a boy. And finally, we have a member of the royal family with an actual excuse for being a toothless, petulant, useless human being.
That one could get me into trouble back home.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: It's now being chained into the famous golden easel in front of Buckingham Palace.
OLIVER: Ooh, the golden easel.
OLIVER: Don't look directly at it. You'll make it dirty with your peasant eyes.
OLIVER: Incidentally, when there is not a royal birth announcement, that easel is traditionally used to hold the nude portrait of the queen.
OLIVER: I think legally I can still be killed for that.
SIEGEL: John, you obviously felt the special burden to represent the United Kingdom in your stay...
OLIVER: I sure did. I anticipate that my knighthood will be in the mail. I think I just wait, right? I think it just makes its way over here after that. You know, I definitely felt that it was important to voice, you know, a true emotion at the greatest baby being born in the history of human civilization.
SIEGEL: (Laughing) All of the British interviews with you that I've read note that your Birmingham - your Midlands accent, is it a Brummie accent that you have...
OLIVER: Yeah.
SIEGEL: ...plays over here - who cares? You sound just like the queen to American ears.
OLIVER: Yeah. You're basically - you're sonically racist, Americans. You think we all sound the same. Yeah, whereas in fact, I have a - I have definitely a mongrel accent. My family are from Liverpool, so I have some twang there. I have a Midlands accent, and I was raised about an hour north of London. So my voice is a mess, although, yeah, to American ears it sounds like the crisp language of a queen's butler.
SIEGEL: (Laughing) Is it true that you were recommended to Jon Stewart for a job by Ricky Gervais?
OLIVER: I think it was. I've never looked too closely into that for fear that, you know, we always have an impostor syndrome whenever you are given your dream job. So, yeah, I've never looked too closely into it in case it turns out that they got the wrong person.
SIEGEL: And when you came over here to work on "The Daily Show," this was the beginning of your experience of America?
OLIVER: These were - I'd never been to America before. So, yeah, I mean, it was the beginning of my physical experience of America. But, you know, as someone who lives on Earth, I've had multiple experiences of America culturally and politically over my lifetime. Your influence spreads wide.
SIEGEL: We're unavoidable, you're saying.
OLIVER: You are unavoidable, again, in a physical and in an emotional sense.
SIEGEL: So what's actually surprised you? Living here, marrying an American woman, now being very much a part of American media, what is it that still makes you feel this place isn't quite real when you live here?
OLIVER: Well, I definitely believe that this place is real. I don't think the realness of America is in question. You know, you only need to see a car drive past with an American flag and an eagle on the back of it to realize that you are dealing with a high level of reality when it comes to America. No, I love it here. I deeply love it here. And, you know, I guess the tone of jokes is often, you know, at best irreverent, but it always comes from a place of deep love. I do not want to leave here. That is, I cannot make that clear enough to immigration authorities that...
OLIVER: ...may be listening to this interview: I don't want to leave. So, please don't make me.
SIEGEL: And you have a green card now. So...
OLIVER: I have a green card, yeah. But they can take that away. That's - they can take that away at any moment. So, please don't. Please let me keep it.
SIEGEL: Your stand-up show resumes tonight. Is it different? I mean, now that you're so identified with being the anchorman of "The Daily Show," does it change the way you think an audience receives you when you stand up?
OLIVER: I don't think so. I don't think it changes the way they respond to me. And people, I guess, generally come to see me do stand-up with a working knowledge of my broad sense of humor on "The Daily Show." So, no. I think it's pretty much the same. And, yeah, I don't think anyone would mistake me as an actual anchor. I think I'm just a summer fling that people will soon forget.
SIEGEL: The stand-up show is, I guess, on Friday, at the same time, at 11 p.m. Eastern, as "The Daily Show."
OLIVER: Yeah, this is - yeah, exactly.
SIEGEL: That's because...
OLIVER: I, we've just taken that slot on a Friday now.
SIEGEL: "The Daily Show" - on "The Daily Show," you're on guard for news, 24/4. I mean, you're...
OLIVER: Twenty four-four indeed, or 30-minute four.
SIEGEL: Thirty...
OLIVER: It's slightly less catchy.
SIEGEL: Has anyone thought about expanding "The Daily Show" beyond four nights a week?
OLIVER: I don't know. I don't know. I guess that is a business decision. And like with any business decision, if they thought it would be profitable, they would do it without thinking about it.
SIEGEL: I see.
OLIVER: So, yeah, I have no idea if they are thinking about going for the 24/5. Can it be done? I'm not sure.
SIEGEL: OK. Well, John Oliver, how much longer do you have on "The Daily Show"?
OLIVER: Well, hopefully, a long time.
SIEGEL: No, I mean as the...
OLIVER: I'm hoping not to get fired, Robert, if that is what you're alluding to.
SIEGEL: No, I mean, as the anchor... (Laughing)
OLIVER: As anchor, I have another three weeks of the show, then we have two weeks off, and then Jon is back at the start of September. So I have three weeks. And then I'm hoping, upon Jon's return, I'm not going to be fired. I'm hoping that. And hearing you, especially your voice saying that, has given so much more weight to that anxiety in my mind.
SIEGEL: I'm... (Laughing) I didn't - I didn't mean to imply any such thing and...
OLIVER: I trust your voice. That is the problem. That there's a gravitas to your voice and hearing you say, how much longer do you think it will be that you're working there? It shan't be long, for sure.
SIEGEL: In that case, John Oliver, a man with obviously a very long career ahead of him...
SIEGEL: ...at Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," has been talking us. His own stand-up show resumes tonight. Thank you very much for talking with us.
OLIVER: It's a pleasure. Thank you very much.

After One Year...
By eldubya on Saturday, October 06, 2007of ownership, my wife and I still love the CR-V. No major problems. There was a service bulletin on the rear diff, but the dealer took care of it free of charge. Fuel mileage (90% City) averages about 23-24MPG. Highway driving at 55MPH has been about 29-30MPG. Highway driving at 75MPH gets about 23MPG. My only qualm would be power. The 4 cylinder is peppy, but I'd prefer a little more power. The ride quality is good, but there is a lot of road noise (esp. in the back seat) when driving over rough roads. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning. Overall, the CR-V has been everything that we expected it to be.

Nice car
By Bre on Tuesday, March 17, 2009I traded my 05 Chev. Tahoe in on the 07 4X4 CR-V. The transition was hard at first. Due to the Tahoe having many extra features. But, when said and done the CR-V has been the best for me. I only drive 5 miles a day to work. I average about 20 mpg which is great for me in town compared to 12 mpg in the Tahoe. (Since gas was 4.00 a gallon!) I am only 5 feet tall I feel very comfortable driving,parking the CR-V. My only MAJOR complaints are the seats need more padding and I wish they had Auto on/off lights. Where you open the doors the paint scratches easily from your fingernails. I tried to get some handle covers but they don't make them yet. Other than that I really like my CR-V. I like driving it. I can park it anyplace I want to. It doesn't really have any blind spots when backing up. It's just a really nice little car. I put a few extras on it when I purchased it like the rain guards,sun visor, and a back window spoiler. Looks really sharp. Have not seen any like mine yet! Maybe by the time I go to trade again they will have improved my complaints!

Way more than I expected
By Mike D on Wednesday, August 25, 2010I have leased 2 Lexus, a BMW and a Cadillac (junk mobile). Because of my miles, I could no longer lease. I needed a car that costs less than $30,000. After months of research I decided on a Crosstour. That ended up being too expensive. My fall back position was the CRV EX leather with nav. I made my best deal and got my color (urban titanium). I can't believe how nice this vehicle is! It does everything well. Handles nice, plenty of power, awesome gas mileage (31 highway). Very nice interior, super sound system, perfect fit and finish. Small enough to fit everywhere and big enough to fit cargo and passengers. I enjoy driving it as much as all the $50,000 cars of the past. So many features make sense that I can't list them all. It has the best nav system I have ever had. If it holds up it will be the best car I have ever owned. Considering honda's reputaion, I have no reason to believe it will be a problem. Now I know why they sell so many of these. I am not a guy that cares much about performance so the 4cyl is just fine. The ride is soft but not mushy and firm but not stiff. The seats are very comfortable and the drivers seat adjusts well. It is not flashy but it is very pracical. I never ever thought I could find a car for $27,800 that was this nice. I love it!

The Decriminalization Movement
The past three decades have witnessed a stormy and controversial debate about the possible merits to society that might be brought about by decriminalizing or legalizing marijuana. Beginning in 1973 with Oregon, 12 states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Oregon) have in some manner altered their existing laws to reduce the penalties for marijuana possession.1 A number of local cities have also modified their local ordinances and criminal justice practices to decriminalize pot (Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco, California; Breckenridge, Colorado; Amherst, Massachusetts; Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Urbana and Carbondale, Illinois; and Colombia, Missouri; among others).
There are three central arguments supportive of the decriminalization movement which have been advanced in these and other jurisdictions. Perhaps the most powerful and appealing argument for marijuana decriminalization (and/or decriminalizing other drugs) is that it would save a huge amount of government money now being spent on the enforcement of such laws. The basic tenets of the cost saving argument can be summarized as follows:
1. The criminal justice system, ranging from police to corrections, now allocates a significant portion of its budgets arresting, prosecuting, sentencing and incarcerating marijuana users, dealers and others involved in the illegal drug infrastructure (e.g., transporters, manufacturers of drug paraphernalia, etc.).
2. If these behaviors would no longer be labeled as criminal, criminal justice agencies would reduce the enforcement and processing tasks now associated with such crimes.
3. There is a direct relationship between the proportion of arrests or cases processed for marijuana crimes by the criminal justice system and the amount of money expended by these same agencies.
4. By reducing or eliminating these marijuana related events, there would be a proportionate decrease in the agency expenses.
This perspective has led to some fairly substantial claims regarding the amount of money to be saved by taxpayers if marijuana were decriminalized. For example, a recent study by Scott Bates (2004) claimed that Alaska was spending $25-30 million per year enforcing marijuana prohibition laws. Further, since there is no link between marijuana use and criminal behavior, there would be no impact on crime. And, if the purchase of marijuana were to be taxed as a legal commodity, tax revenues would increase by about $10-20 million per year. So, voters were promised that a net swing of $35 - $50 million per year would appear in the state's coffers if marijuana were decriminalized.2
Jeffrey A. Miron from MIT made a similar claim in his assessment of drug laws in Massachusetts.3 Applying the same assumptions used by Bates, he estimated that the state would reduce its criminal justice expenditures by $120.6 million per year. The largest savings would be in the courts ($68.5 million), followed by police ($40.3 million) and corrections ($13.6 million). And, Michael Aldrich, Tod Mikuriya, and Gordon Bronwell have claimed that California's pioneering decriminalization law (SB 95) was generating over $30 million per year in reduced police costs.4
On a national level, a recent report by Jon Gettman estimated that national criminal justice expenditures for enforcing marijuana laws is $7.6 billion per year with $3.7 billion being allocated to police, $853 million to the courts, and $3.1 billion to corrections.5 To his credit he noted that his estimates were "maximum" costs recognizing that actual costs and savings may be significantly lower. Similarly, the 2005 report by the Sentencing Project states that $2.1 billion is being spent by police on enforcing marijuana laws.6
All of these studies use a proportionate cost model. This approach was adopted by the Office of Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) on the Economic Costs of Drug Abuse.7 This report totaled all of the criminal justice costs as well the major activities, events and/or people processed by the criminal justice system. Next, the proportionate numbers of activities or persons that could be related to marijuana crimes (possession and sales) were totaled. The costs associated with these events or persons were based on their proportionate size to the total criminal justice events or persons. This report did not separately analyze marijuana related costs but did claim that the nation was spending $12.1 billion in police and court costs and another $16.9 billion in corrections costs.
In making such estimates for marijuana crime, the methodology would work as follows. If the number of arrests for marijuana in a given jurisdiction reflects 10% of the total arrests, it is argued that the legalization or decriminalization of marijuana would produce a 10% drop or savings in the total law enforcement costs. The primary problem with these estimates is that while they accurately reflect the proportionate level of costs they are not useful in estimating the savings to be realized if marijuana sales and possession were no longer criminalized. In fact, this somewhat simplistic and static cost benefit model generates highly misleading and exaggerated cost savings claims because it fails to recognize that government agency budgets are relatively fixed and operate independent of the level of activities or events (arrests, prosecutions, and sentencing) reported by the agency.
Indeed, it will be argued in this paper that decriminalization will have only a marginal impact on criminal justice costs. This is not to say that decriminalization would have a trivial effect on costs or that it should not be aggressively pursued by state and federal policy makers. The major benefit of decriminalization, in addition to eliminating the needless arrest, prosecution, and court disposition of over 700,000 people each year, would be the ability of the criminal justice system to focus on more important public safety activities.
Finally, the author would like to acknowledge that there are may other "prohibition costs" that are not covered by this report. These are "costs" incurred by marijuana users such as civil forfeiture, driver license suspensions, drug tax stamp violations, loss of access to federal student loans, removal or suspension from public housing, loss of welfare payments, denial of employment opportunities with government and private agencies, loss of professional licenses and the costs of mandatory drug treatment.
Impact of Decriminalization on Marijuana Use
One concern is that decriminalization will result in greater use of the drug. If true, there could be associated increases in the non-criminal justice costs associated with medical, mental health and even losses in worker productivity as access to and use of the drug rises. One would be hard pressed to suggest that decriminalization would result in a decrease in use, but what is the evidence that decriminalization would result in a significant increase in use?
First it must be emphasized that marijuana, despite its criminalization, is widely used by a large proportion of the US population. The most recent national survey conducted by the US Government reported that 25.8 million people or nearly one out of ten US residents use marijuana at least once a year and over 6% of the population uses the drug on a monthly basis. The lifetime use estimate of marijuana is a hefty 95 million, meaning that 47% of all adults have tried marijuana at least once.8
Unlike alcohol and tobacco use which follows more of a daily pattern, marijuana smoking follows more of an occasional use pattern (once a week or once a month). The demographics of the user population show that it matches the US population with respect to race but that users are disproportionately younger males which also suggests the use of the drug reflects more of youthful experimentation pattern rather than an enduring or long-term life pattern of steady use. The point is that since marijuana is at best a low risk to addiction and that most "users" wean themselves off the drug, its unlikely that making it more available would have a significant increase on these well-established use patterns.
If one looks at selected studies of jurisdictions that have decriminalized the drug, the evidence is either no increase or a slight increase among those segments most likely to use the drug. A study by Rosalie Pacula, Jamie Chriqui, and Janna King9 examined several states where marijuana had been decriminalized by reducing the penalties for simple possession. They found that living in a decriminalized state increases use among high school students but by only 2%. Other studies have found either no increases among juveniles or as much as 4% increase.
Impact of Decriminalization on Crime
Another area of concern is that decriminalization will lead to an increase in crime and thus increase the need for criminal justice resources to combat growing crime rates. This view is based on what some have referred to as correctional analysis. It begins with the well known fact that a high proportion of the 7 million plus persons under the control of the adult correctional system (jail, probation, parole and prison) have recently used an illegal drug. The logic of the "drug use causes crime" argument is that since so many "offenders" have used illegal drugs than it must be the cause of criminal behavior. One could also argue that the consumption of milk is a cause of crime since all criminals have consumed milk – some just before they committed the crime.
The problem with this premise is that there are many other factors associated with criminal behavior that are also associated with drug use. These other demographic factors (e.g., age, gender, etc) and socio-economic factors are more powerful causal factors of criminality. As such drug use, either because it predates criminal behavior or is more associated with the lifestyle of lower socio-economic male life-styles, may simply represent a spurious relationship with crime.
On the narrower question of marijuana, there is little evidence of a direct link between marijuana use and criminal behavior. Marijuana is neither a gateway drug (smoking marijuana necessarily leads to the use of more serious drugs like cocaine and heroin) nor one that necessarily propels one to criminal activity with the obvious exceptions of either possession or distribution of the drug. As noted earlier, over 25 million people consume marijuana each year with nearly 15 million using the drug in the past month. By way of comparison, very small percentages of Americans (under 4 % in total) have used cocaine, crack, heroin or other inhalants in the past 30 days.10 So somewhere along the line, the vast majority of the marijuana drug users do not graduate to the more dangerous drugs.
David Boyum and Mark Kleiman in their review of drug control policies note that of three major illicit drugs (marijuana, cocaine, and heroin), marijuana is the least likely to generate criminal activities. This is due to the method of dealing (discreet), amount of drug required to get high (small), the fact that high itself is highly unlikely to trigger violence, and because social circles surrounding marijuana are largely white and from the middle and upper socio economic classes. They conclude that:
" Making marijuana legally available to adults on more or less the same terms as alcohol would tend to reduce crime…"11
Finally, a proponent of the marijuana use equals crime premise would have to explain why although marijuana use has been increasing at a modest but steady rate since the early 1990s, the crime rate has plummeted. If there was a marijuana-crime link, one would have expected crime rates to increase and not decline.
Marijuana's Impact on Arrests and Court Processing
Despite the large swell of legislative activity at both the state and local level, the number of persons arrested for marijuana possession and sale has grown significantly. In 1970 there was an estimated 188,682 arrests for the drug – by 2003 the number had increased to 755,000. So it's clear that despite the decriminalization effort, the chances of a marijuana user being arrested have significantly increased.
Although a large and increasing number of persons are arrested each year for marijuana violations, as a proportion of total number of criminal justice arrest and felony court convictions, marijuana cases are relatively low percentages of police and court's workload. For example, In 2003 there were 13.6 million arrests made by police agencies meaning that marijuana arrests represent about 5-6% of the total arrests (see Table 1). This also means that based on the large number of marijuana users (nearly 26 million) the probability of a marijuana user actually being arrested is even lower. Gettman calculates the overall arrest rate per 100,000 population at 250 which is twice the rate it was in the early 1970s, but remains relatively low compared to the overall arrest rate for all crimes (in 2001 it was 4,800 per 100,000 population).
These data show that marijuana and marijuana possession is a relatively small piece of the arrest pie (about 4 %). Eliminating the marijuana arrest pool would have only a marginal effect on the universe of arrests and the workload of the police.
The same can be said about the impact on the courts. There are an estimated one million felony convictions by state and federal courts. Of this number only 69,500 convictions were for marijuana violations of which 44,200 are possession convictions. These data do not include the work of the lower or municipal courts where most of police arrests are handled. Obviously the remaining 600,000 plus marijuana arrests must be handled by some court agency. For example, in California of the 1.2 million adult arrests, over half (801,506) are misdemeanor level crimes of which 100,000 are drug violations -- all of which are processed through the Municipal Courts. Unfortunately, there are no national estimates of municipal or lower criminal court activity. But one can assume that marijuana cases do not constitute a major portion of the lower court's dockets.

Famed Adventurer/Survivalist to Take Zac Efron, Ben Stiller, Channing Tatum, Deion Sanders, Tom Arnold and Tamron Hall on Life-Changing Journeys
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — June 19, 2014 — NBC has ordered six episodes of the hourlong alternative series "Running Wild with Bear Grylls," where the famed adventurer and survivalist will take celebrities into the most remote and wild locations in the U.S. and around the world for a 48-hour journey of a lifetime.
The series will premiere Monday, July 28 (8-9 p.m. ET/PT).

Each of the celebrities endure the harsh wilderness in high-octane, action-based and empowering journeys spread over six remote locations. From skydiving into the Catskill Mountains, to repelling down the cliffs of Utah and battling torrential wind and rain in Scotland, Grylls and each celebrity will have to push both their minds and bodies to the limit to successfully complete their journey.
The show was created by Grylls, who recently starred on the NBC series "Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls."
"'Running Wild' allows viewers to see inside the hearts and minds of these guests in a very open, honest and vulnerable way, pushing them out of their comfort zones and seeing what they are like in real life when stripped of all the benefits of celebrity," said Grylls. "Ultimately, this show is about taking these stars on the adventure of a lifetime and being alongside them when they discover something new and empowering about themselves and their world. For me, that is always a privilege."
"Bear's incredible spirit is absolutely contagious, not only with his celebrity partners but with the viewing audience as well," said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment. "We can't wait to see how these epic adventures will profoundly change those who take the challenge."
"Running Wild with Bear Brylls" is produced by Electus and Bear Grylls Ventures. Grylls will serve as executive producers along with Ben Silverman, Chris Grant, Corie Henson, Laura Caraccioli, Doug McCallie and Viki Cacciatore.
Bear Grylls Ventures (BGV), led by CEO Delbert Shoopman & CJ Cardenas, is a management and production company based out of Los Angeles. BGV manages all television, film, books, licensing and endorsement deals for Bear Grylls. The goal of the company is to develop and endorse projects that embrace adventure and inspire people to realize their dreams. Several product partners include Gerber Knives, Craghoppers, Bushnell, JIVO, F84 Games, Bear River and Kyocera.

Shawki Ibrahim Abdel-Karim is elected by secret ballot; previously, top Islamic jurist was named by president
CAIRO (AP) — Muslim clerics from Al-Azhar, Egypt's premier religious institution, chose the country's top Islamic jurist in a direct and secret ballot on Monday that was the first such vote in six decades.
An official statement by the 24-member Senior Scholars Authority says that it elected Shawki Ibrahim Abdel-Karim, a professor in Islamic jurisprudence, to the post of Grand Mufti. The selection is now expected to be ratified by President Mohammed Morsi, which will make it final.
Previously, the Grand Mufti was appointed by the president. But after the ouster of longtime president Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's interim military rulers amended Al-Azhar's bylaws.
The election of Abdel-Karim from among three candidates came against a backdrop of heightened political tensions and protests over Morsi's rule. Many expected his powerful backers — the Muslim Brotherhood — to field their own candidate for the job.
"There are sleeping cells inside Al-Azhar and they are waking up," said political analyst Ammar Ali Hassan, referring to Brotherhood-aligned clerics associated with the institution. The selection of new members of the Senior Scholars Authority could provide a chance for the group to gain influence there, he added.
Egypt's newly adopted constitution, drafted by an Islamist-led panel and passed in a public referendum in December, empowered Al-Azhar to review draft laws to see if they violate Shariah, or Islamic law. Liberals and some secular Muslims saw the new powers as moving toward the establishment of a religious state.
The Brotherhood, whose voters put Morsi into power as the country's first democratically elected president, has been charged by the liberal opposition and a broad group of Egyptians of trying to monopolize power. Abdel-Rahman el-Bar, considered the group's top jurist, was among those believed to have contested the election. El-Bar however denied this.
"Egypt is full of highly qualified and knowledgeable men who fit the post," he told The Associated Press.
The Grand Mufti has a variety of tasks in Egypt. He reviews and ratifies death sentences issued by courts. He also is responsible for announcing the dates of the months based on a lunar calendar, which in turn determines when the important Muslim fasting month begins. In response to citizens' requests, he issues religious edicts, known as fatwas, and he gives opinions over government policies.
Abdel-Karim will be the country's 19th Grand Mufti since 1895. He succeeds the moderate Ali Gomaa, who served for eight years.

Gone in a Flash
Girls - you need to stop flashing people. Put away your breasts. We don't want to see them. It's enough. Stop it.
I'm going to take a lot of heat for writing a column encouraging girls not to flash. Guys will be upset with me. So will lesbians. I even thought of kicking my own butt for a minute there.
I grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, when breasts were not readily available. Even butts were seldom seen, as I distinctly recall my excitement at the episode of NYPD Blue where they showed a naked hooker from behind. Take that, Cop Rock.
Breasts were special. They were new and different and exciting. Now they're everywhere and they're starting to lose their luster. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and I'm able to see them without the help of television, but I think it's because flashing has just become more popular. By the way, my mother reads this column. Thanksgiving is going to be awkward.
Don't get me wrong - I like a good breast glimpse as much as the next guy or lesbian. I often waste a large portion of my day trying to see some cleavage, and am rendered disoriented when there's the slightest hint of cold weather. But things have gone too far. Breasts are just too easy to see.
I'm not talking about the internet, despite spending the better part of the day on it researching this topic. And yes, it was the much better part of the day. I'm talking about public flashers. Public flashing has gotten so ubiquitous that when Janet Jackson showed a breast on the most watched broadcast of the year, many people I knew thought it was "kind of cool." Kind of cool? If that happened while I was growing up, we'd have gone absolutely nuts. Partly because Janet was 15 and playing Charlene on Different Strokes, but we'd have still gone nuts.
My point is that the nation saw Janet Jackson's breast and uttered a collective "seen it before." How depressing is that?
I don't know many women who haven't flashed at some point. I even know a few who have done it on camera. I know women who have flashed for beads at Mardi Gras or at the cajoling of some guys or out of sheer boredom. Twice, I have seen comedy shows destroyed because an audience member flashed. Okay, that's not the whole story - one of the shows was actually ruined when TWO audience members flashed.
It was the first five minutes of the show, and the MC made a comment on how plastic and made up one of the audience members looked. The comedian jokingly asked, "how much did those cost you?" and the woman answered "$6,000" before showing off the finished product. To the crowd's delight and comedian's astonishment, another woman decided to compare her own to see if she got her money's worth. That makes sense - if I got a shiny new car, I'd be showing everyone.
Less than five minutes into the show and there had already been more naked women than comedians. Yes, it was cool. But how do you follow that?
"Wow, those were some breasts, huh? So what's the deal with breast milk?"
And my issue is not with the kind of women who should not be flashing at all (you know who you are). It's with the women who should be flashing but not this often. Sure, seeing a few breasts each morning would make my day. But only at first; the excitement would wear off after a while. Desert is only a treat when it doesn't automatically happen after every meal. If you only have ice cream occasionally, you look forward to it more and you end up healthier.
If you're the type to eat ice cream after every meal, maybe you'll disagree with me. If you're the type to eat ice cream after every meal off of a pair of breasts, you'll really disagree with me.
But, hot women of the world, I'm not asking you to wear turtlenecks. I'm not asking you to wear sports bras. I'm not even asking you to wear bras at all. What I'm asking is for you to keep your shirts on just a bit more often than you do. Then when you finally flash someone, it will be that much more special.
And, if you don't mind, could you please pass the ice cream?

Young men who have served in the British military are about three times more likely than civilians to have committed a violent offense, researchers reported Friday in a study that explores the roots of such behavior.
The research found that merely being sent to Iraq or Afghanistan made no difference in rates of violent crime later on. Instead, a key predictor was violent behavior before enlisting. Combat duty also raised the risk, as did witnessing traumatic events during deployment or misusing alcohol afterward.
Still, the vast majority - 94 percent - of British military staff who return home after serving in a combat zone don't commit any crimes, researchers told reporters at a briefing.
The study found little difference in the lifetime rates of violent offenses between military personnel and civilian populations at age 46 - 11 percent versus almost 9 percent. Among younger men, however, being in the military seemed to make a difference: Nearly 21 percent of the military group under age 30 had a conviction for a violent offense in their lifetime compared to fewer than 7 percent of similarly aged men in the general population, according to British crime statistics.
"The problem is that some of the qualities you want in a soldier are the same ones that get people arrested for violent behavior," said Walter Busuttil, director of medical services for Combat Stress, a British veterans' charity that was not part of the study. Busuttil said many of those recruited into the army are from disadvantaged backgrounds where violence is more common.
The research was published online Friday in the medical journal Lancet. Researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London looked at data from more than 13,800 U.K. military personnel and veterans and compared that to records of violent crimes ranging from verbal threats to assaults and homicides. Some people were followed for up to seven years. Nearly 1,500 women were included, though they were mostly in noncombat roles.
Deirdre MacManus, the study's lead author, said combat experience seemed to matter when they compared violent crime rates among military personnel. "Being deployed in itself wasn't a risk factor for violent offenses but being exposed to multiple traumas, like seeing someone get shot, increased the risk by 70 to 80 percent," she said, compared to someone who hadn't witnessed such a harrowing ordeal.
Researchers said other studies have made similar findings.
Britain currently has some 5,000 soldiers in the NATO-led mission fighting in Afghanistan and it is the second-largest foreign contingent after the U.S. It withdrew its soldiers from Iraq in 2009 after six years. The U.K. Ministry of Defense has been under pressure to develop more mental health programs for veterans after reports of returning servicemen committing crimes, like the 2012 case of an ex-soldier in Leeds jailed for shooting his landlady after fighting in Afghanistan. He had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder but had not been monitored or treated.
In the U.S., there have been numerous cases of veterans committing violent crimes, including a Marine charged with killing six people in California last year. Soldiers from a single Army unit in Colorado killed 11 people over a few years after their return home. An Army report in 2009 placed part of the blame on the psychological trauma of fierce combat in Iraq. And this week, a U.S. Senate panel heard women in the military describe sexual assaults by fellow soldiers.
American researchers said it is possible the same links the British study found between fighting in a war and violent crime exist in the U.S. but that there isn't enough data yet.
"For some soldiers, it's hard to stop being a warrior," said Brett Litz, a psychology professor at Boston University who studies veterans' issues. "What happens during a war may be a prescription for a small percentage of men to get into trouble," he said. "They may find it very difficult to switch out of a wartime mindset."
But given the differences between Britain and the U.S., Litz said it was impossible to predict what effects would be seen in the United States. "Maybe the economy is better here, maybe the (department of defense) does a better job with transition, maybe (the) culture is different especially with respect to alcohol," Litz said.
"There will be a lot of returning soldiers who have to be reintegrated and unfortunately there is no quick fix," he said.

Legend of the Celtic Cross
Most common in Ireland, Wales and Scotland, the Celtic cross is a symbol of both faith and ethnic heritage. The circle symbolizes eternity and God's endless love for man. Legend says that while preaching to the lost, St. Patrick was shown a sacred stone marked with a circle that was symbolic of the moon goddess. He drew a Latin cross within the circle and blessed the stone, making the first Celtic cross.

Equipment upgrades, safety inspections, and plant improvements are ahead for Braidwood Generating Station's Unit 1 during its latest refueling and maintenance outage.
Braceville, IIl. - Equipment upgrades, safety inspections, and plant improvements are ahead for Braidwood Generating Station's Unit 1 during its latest refueling and maintenance outage.
More than 1,500 supplemental workers will join Braidwood employees to perform more than 13,000 tasks related to the outage. The unit's 16th shutdown follows a run of 526 days.
One of the major projects is replacement of the Unit 1 "plant process computer" with a state-of-the-art system that will add a layer of safety and redundancy and provide operators with improved visuals and plant monitoring capability. The plant process computer provides critical data to operators in the station's control room as they assess plant conditions.
"Safely running our units from refueling outage to refueling outage is what we strive for," said Braidwood Site Vice President Dan Enright. "The extended run is a testament to the hard work of our employees and to the reliability of our equipment. We continually invest in our equipment to run more safely and reliably."
The 1,500 temporary workers on hand for the effort will provide a boost to the local economy.
"The additional workers means more dollars spent locally on goods and services," said John Greuling, Will County Center for Economic Development President and CEO. "This maintenance project should be a real shot in the arm for the local economy."
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts at full power - enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes.

ITHACA, NY — For the fourth straight Olympics, students from Ithaca College will be serving an essential behind-the-scenes role at the world's biggest athletic event. NBC Sports has selected 35 interns from the college to support the network's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics, being held in London July 27–August 12.
Ithaca is one of only a handful of colleges and universities nationwide with which NBC partners to recruit interns for its Olympics coverage. Thirty-three of the interns are from the Roy H. Park School of Communications, with one each coming from the School of Music and School of Health Sciences and Human Performance.
"Our students are consistently recognized by internship sites for their ability to immediately enter into professional environments and begin making significant contributions," said Diane Gayeski, dean of the Park School. "The opportunity for nearly three dozen of them to intern at the Olympics this year is yet again a wonderful affirmation of our students' level of preparation and engagement. Working side-by-side with professionals on a major international event will be the latest of many achievements that these students can add to their portfolio of experiences."
Half of the students will be traveling to London for their intern assignments, with the rest based at NBC's 30 Rock headquarters in New York City. Some have been assigned to specific events, including basketball, gymnastics, swimming and track and field. Others will handle tasks such as reviewing video for what's known as the Highlights Factory, which the network developed to package and distribute coverage through multiple media platforms.
Senior journalism major Collin Schuck is slated to work at the Central Tape facility in London, where he will help producers find material they need among the hundreds of hours of videotape generated for possible broadcast. He believes his experiences both inside and outside the classroom have prepared him well for the responsibilities.
"I've worked with WICB, VIC Radio and ICTV for the past three years doing not only on-air work but also a lot of behind-the-scenes work, like editing audio and video," said Schuck. "I'm sure it's going to be a bit different from what I've done in terms of equipment, but the basic concepts are the same."
Senior television-radio major David Gofman's favorite Olympic sport is men's volleyball — he's on the club team at the college — and he'll have the opportunity to see a lot of it while working the event at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre.
"I am definitely most excited about being a part of the Olympics production process as a whole," said Gofman. "I have never been to an Olympics before, but I watch it religiously when it comes around. To be a part of an event this special is an experience I will remember for the rest of my life."
Ithaca College students have previously interned at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy; 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China; and 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. To read more about the history of the IC-NBC Olympics partnership, visit www.ithaca.edu/olympics2010.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Oh, Nashville. You have me obsessed. Last night's (Oct. 24) episode on ABC had everything I look for in a television drama: noncommittal men, drug-addict mothers, wealthy and judgmental fathers, serious money problems and side boobs.
Yes, side boobs.
When Rayna Jaymes' daughter Maddie is complaining that she has nothing to wear for her talent show, she says it's because "7th graders show belly and side boob."
Maddie and her sister Daphne are actually sisters in real life, Lennon and Maisy Stella, and they're pretty fabulous performers, too. So this school talent show was no act for the girls. In fact, their rendition of sassy starlet Juliette Barnes' single "Telescope" was, I think, the countriest song on the show. Especially thanks to Daphne's percussive boot stomps and hand claps.
You can see Barnes' new video for "Telescope" here. (Barnes is the character played by Hayden Panettiere, who actually sings on the track.) You might hear the song on country radio. And you can buy the single, too. But if you want to hear the little girls do it, you can watch the episode.

"Smaller" plant will cost $1 million more
Letters to the Editor
Last updated 6/5/2013 at 10:19am
The Star published a story on May 29th, 2013 with the headline "Town votes for smaller sewer plant project." Nothing could be further from the truth… in fact the town council, with one "no" (Bob Poch), knowingly voted for a project that will cost more, considerably more, than the already expensive "repair" to the old plant.
Do not be duped… the town council voted for the first "phase" of a project estimated to cost well over $6 million. The town's engineer (Gray & Osborne) clearly defined the two "phases" and the requirements for the full project in the facility plan. That plan was adopted by the town and approved by the state. By taking this action, Coulee Dam will lock itself into the second phase, an aging plant, aging technology, and a very, very high (and growing) operational cost.
The town council (with one exception) just made a decision to spend over a million dollars more than they were recently considering – and for what? To patch up and repair an already old (40 years old) and inefficient facility that will last about 20 more years. The town already spends over twice the expected amount to maintain and operate the existing plant and the proposed "phased" project will add even more to those costs.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that a new plant can be built for virtually the same amount (even the town's engineer agrees with that claim) and will cost less than half to operate … and it will last over 40 years! The town's hell-bent approach will only add even more to our monthly sewer charges. On the other hand, a new regional facility shared with Elmer City will reduce our monthly rates — not increase them!
Thank you and be well…

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Danny Green scored 27 points, Gary Neal added 24 and the San Antonio Spurs set an NBA Finals record with 16 3-pointers in a 113-77 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night that gave them a 2-1 series lead.
Green hit seven of nine 3s, Neal was six for 10 from deep and Tim Duncan chipped in 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Spurs, who responded to a 19-point drubbing in Game 2 with a blowout of their own.
The Spurs flummoxed four-time MVP LeBron James for a third straight game, holding him to 15 points on 7-of-21 shooting. James also had 11 rebounds and five assists, but he missed 11 of his first 14 shots and never looked comfortable against San Antonio's swarming defense.
Game 4 in the best-of-seven series is on Thursday night in San Antonio.

At the start of the school year, did you spend some time in your class talking about how the class would work?
If you did, I guess that you talked about some really great values like honesty, sharing and helping, responsibility, collaborating (or working together), organisation, and respect.
When you think about it, respect is probably the most important.
Respect has several meanings.
Home is the place where you first learn about respect.
When you go to school you will have to learn some different ways to respect others and yourself.
If people are behaving badly towards you and hurting you or your feelings, then you cannot, and must not, respect their unkind behaviour.
Bullying and harassment should never be tolerated.
And of course you will not behave in an unkind way towards others, including spreading nasty rumours or gossip.
See our topic Dealing with bullies for some ideas on how to deal with this behaviour.
Earning respect from yourself is probably harder than earning respect from others.
Remember those values again?
Respect familyEquity for everyoneSay sorry, please and thank youPeople deserve respectEnsure that everyone's rights are respectedCarry respect into all of your lifeTake time to respect yourself- Joel
"Make respect part of your life.
As you grow older and move out more into the world you will meet lots of different people. We live in a very diverse society and if you have learned to respect others then you will be able to fit in well with that society."
Check out the Related topics list under the Feedback button to find out more about why Respect should always be a way of life.
We've provided this information to help you to understand important things about staying healthy and happy. However, if you feel sick or unhappy, it is important to tell your mum or dad, a teacher or another grown-up.

Heaven-sent Surprise
"God has many emissaries and many ways to take care of us."
This is the conclusion reached by a reader of Ohrnet magazine from a personal experience she shared with us in a letter she wrote to us. It was in regard to an article in our Parshat Pekudei "Whats the Right Thing to Do?" column about cab drivers who were advised that they could offer to take a passenger with a strongly unpleasant body odor on the condition that he compensate them for the income they would lose while waiting for the smell to fade and be able to take other passengers.
After taking issue with this advice and reminding cab drivers that livelihood is determined from Above, she writes this about her own experience:
"In the first years after we got married, my husband and I went through some hard times. For a while neither of us could find a job. The job my husband finally found was as a salesman. He traveled around the country and called on businesses and other institutions. He was paid on commission.
At a certain point, my husband had to decide whether he was going to work during Chol Hamoed. On the one hand, we were barely on our feet financially. On the other hand, we really could not say that there was halachic justification for his working. He decided that he would take Chol Hamoed off, and we would somehow manage without the weeks earnings. When my husband came back to work after the end of the holiday, he was amazed to discover that, while he was away, one of his customers (a business owned, in fact, by a religious Jew who was justified in working during Chol Hamoed because his business produced basic foodstuffs) had phoned in an order an order so large that it made up for the week of not working."

Online Pharmacy Services are here. Use them!
Savvy innovations keep drug stores ahead of the game
www.Medtipster.com Source: Drug Store News, 8.6.10 – by Michael Johnsen
Consumers are working more, playing more, shopping more and learning more online than ever before. So the click-and-consult services proffered by Walgreens and Rite Aid not only represent today's cutting edge technology, but also provide a peek into how consumers may interact with their healthcare team tomorrow.
Other national pharmacy operations can't be too far behind. Because making pharmacists accessible to patients on their terms, in their time, allows pharmacy retailers the chance to "shake their moneymaker," as the saying goes.
Pharmacists are drug stores' most valued assets, and making them available to consumers 24/7 through their own computer screens is an important extension of the brand that doesn't necessarily incur greater labor costs. Especially as these cyber-pharmacists are able to consult patients from coast-to-coast out of one central location. And if more patients get it in their heads that consulting pharmacists at their convenience on their laptops, smart phones or iPads is the new time-efficient way to get the best answers to their health questions, that can only improve efficiencies at the store level.
Providing a more comprehensive pharmacy service by incorporating an interactive online component also may boost patient retention. During an exclusive interview with The Drug Store News Group last fall, banking veteran and now Walgreens' SVP e-commerce Sona Chawla explained that those forward-thinking bank institutions that had implemented online banking services in the beginning found that those account-holders who took advantage of those services were less likely to migrate to another bank and just as likely to visit an actual brick-and-mortar branch.
And now Walgreens and Rite Aid will find out if the same will hold true for pharmacy patients — making a more loyal patient who not only increases his or her actual interaction with the pharmacy online but also continues to make as many visits to the actual stores.
