Ram Balram, what can I say, a hilarious movie when it wasn't supposed to be hilarious. I love this movie because I guess its a goodbye song to the lost and found genre of the masala 70's, as each actor here looks a bit past their masala days. Please attack me if I'm dissing Amitabh and Dharamendra but in this movie what caught my eyes were the oldness of these 2 men, their slowly approaching wrinkles, and saggy chins! Alas it was made by Vijay Anand who throws every masala plot in here, which is very silly but lots of frothy fun.
We start off in Bollywoodland with 2 brothers who are called Silly, Stupid, and Ajit as I couldn't find their names in the credits or imdb.
Silly and Stupid are great friends as well as brothers, Silly has a son called Ram(Master Lucky, in a good role) and Stupid is a widower with a son called Balram(Master Sandeep, who has funny rushed dialogue delivery) and they also have a loafer brother Chief Jagatpal (Ajit) who obviously doesn't do his police work properly and visits the brothel everyday to see Tarabai(Helen).
A few family fights and arguements later, Jagatpal has pitted Silly against Stupid, and I named those names suitably because Silly gets angry because Stupid is shirking his duties to visit the courtesans and Stupid is stupid because he lets Jagatpal introduce him to the bad courtesan and sharaab!
Silly's wife who I'll call Ma(Urmila Bhatt) leaves Jaggu her paisa of course! But he wants more than her money he wants the maa also, she is a good maa and refuses with this strange insult. He then throws her overboard in some water and shoots her.
Then Jaggu takes the two kids Ramu and Balu away, and he is obviously a complete nut job and sadist too as he has lost one leg and under his crutches features a nail which he uses to punish the kids if they do something bad, this was probably a sad part as the screechy .
Ramu is Jaggu's slave now as they send Balu to school, but Ramu's bad deeds for his baap as they call him is fishing in the sea, stealing gold, and many other terrible deeds, a few years later Balu grows up as Amitabh Bachan who stills looks long,lanky, but his signs of aging all occur on his face with a saggy double chin and other wrinkles, while Ramu grows to be Dharamendra who ages okay but has got a bit of a beer belly.
Balu is a good inspector while Ramu is a bad kid working as a mechanic still doing bad things for his baap. Ajit's sadistic streak has traumatized Balu obviously as when a beggar with crutches comes along he jumps up, and is still scared of "the stick from HELL!
Rekha only hugging happens on a bed!
The climax point is a lot of fun as Jaggu kidnaps all the ladies Rekha,Zeenat, Helen, and UTPAL DUTT, who must be a woman, coz Jaggu shouts "I have all the women in here, come take them away!" pooor Utpal. It features these glorious subtitles that are worth the watch!
His hands holds the bharat!
Ah, crutch trauma. A sadly growing malady among the nation's youth. Thank goodness this movie sheds some light on the problem.
lol your review was very concise and i managed to point out the most silly points in the movie! i should zone out more! it was toooooo much filler that was unecessary!

The dumbbell chest press on a Swiss ball is an upper body strength exercise that specifically targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Performing the exercise with a Swiss ball, an unstable surface, will actively engage the core throughout the range of motion.
Grab a pair of dumbbells, sit on a Swiss ball, and then walk your feet out until your upper back is supported by the ball. Hold the dumbbells over your chest with your arms extended and your feet planted firmly on the floor.
Lower the dumbbells until they are just above the chest, keeping your elbows tight to your sides. Pause, then press them back to the starting position.
1. Plant your feet firmly so that your body is stable throughout the movement.
2. Keep the tension on your chest as you press the weight up.
3. Do not let your elbows flare during the press. Keep them tight to the body.

Nzimande on Soudien Report
17 July 2009 | Story by Chris McEvoy
Pressing forward: Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande, discussed the Soudien Report at the Third Annual Anti-Racism Colloquium.
The Soudien Report on discrimination "lifted the lid on a shameful feature of higher education institutions in South Africa".
So said the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande, in his address on the report, which was headed by UCT Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Crain Soudien, at the Third Annual Anti-Racism Colloquium at the Graduate School of Business on 16 July.
Hosted by UCT's Institute for Intercultural and Diversity Studies of Southern Africa, The colloquium was organised by representatives from UCT, the University of the Witwatersrand, the University of the Western Cape, and Stellenbosch University. All four universities sponsored the event.
Nzimande noted that key findings of the report included continuing inequalities in participation rates, throughput and success rates, as well as access to postgraduate programmes. The committee also found that progress in student equity - "limited as it may be" - has not been matched by progress in staff equity, said Nzimande.
"In my view, our democracy is threatened by the very things we seek to overcome - racism, sexism and class inequalities. These three issues, while deeply integrated, are not the same things. They are each distinctive forms of discrimination and cannot be reduced into one another. And they each cannot be fully understood outside of the others."
Nzimande argued that the notion that racism is "merely a hand-over from the past" is false.
"Racism is continuously reproduced by the continued existence and perpetuation of class and gender inequalities as well as patriarchy," he said.
He also noted that covert discrimination presented the greatest challenge, arguing that acts of explicit bigotry, such as the videotaped incident at the University of the Free State, which gave rise to the Soudien report, are met with public outrage. Meanwhile, covert forms of racism remain prevalent.
"The one distinct example of this is around language and arguments for the continuation of single medium-schools and Afrikaans only universities," said Nzimande. "The proponents of these campaigns use constitutional rights guaranteeing the existence of all official languages to perpetuate the exclusion of, and racism against, black students. Discrimination comes in many guises and pretexts which therefore requires us to continuously unmask and expose it."
Nzimande also put the media under the spotlight.
"It is no secret that the media in South Africa does not reflect the voices nor serve the interests of the majority of the citizens. In fact, it does not even aspire to do so and panders unashamedly to class and financial interests."
In response to the report's findings, Nzimande proposed the establishment of institution-based as well as national ministerial monitoring.
A higher education stakeholder summit is planned for 2010 to discuss the recommendations of various institutions on the Soudien report.
"It is my intention that the summit will result in the establishment of a national stakeholder forum for higher education where all these issues can be discussed and debated on a continuous basis.

Q: Angular Material=> Mat-chip- Autocomplete(input) on selecting dropdown through space key How to populate mat-chip onkeypress(spacebar) when we select mat-option by going on option through arrow key and pressing space key(32).
However, it is working fine when we select dropdownmenu by going to option through arrowkey and then pressing enter key(keycode- 13) but not working on similarly on space key(keycode -32).
Here, is stackblitz link:-
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ytk8qk-feaqaw?file=app/chips-autocomplete-example.html
1) How to add select dropdown option by going through
  arrowkey(not mouse) and populating selected option using spacebar(keycode- 32).

2)How to remove option from dropdown that is already populated or used.

3)Show dropdown only when user enters some charcter in input text else show
  class="info"` text only in dropdown, when no input text is there and no
 option in dropdown matches enter charcters in input.

Note:- The user can create chips by typing in input and then press ENTER or SPACE key (separator key) for creating chips.

chip.component.ts
export class ChipsAutocompleteExample {
  visible = true;
  selectable = true;
  removable = true;
  addOnBlur = true;
  separatorKeysCodes: number[] = [ENTER,SPACE, COMMA];
  fruitCtrl = new FormControl();
  filteredFruits: Observable<string[]>;
  fruits: string[] = ['Lemon'];
  allFruits: string[] = ['Apple', 'Lemon', 'Lime', 'Orange', 'Strawberry'];

  @ViewChild('fruitInput') fruitInput: ElementRef<HTMLInputElement>;
  @ViewChild('auto') matAutocomplete: MatAutocomplete;

  constructor() {
    this.filteredFruits = this.fruitCtrl.valueChanges.pipe(
        startWith(null),
        map((fruit: string | null) => fruit ? this._filter(fruit) : this.allFruits.slice()));
  }

  add(event: MatChipInputEvent): void {
    // Add fruit only when MatAutocomplete is not open
    // To make sure this does not conflict with OptionSelected Event
    if (!this.matAutocomplete.isOpen) {
      const input = event.input;
      const value = event.value;

      // Add our fruit
      if ((value || '').trim()) {
        this.fruits.push(value.trim());
      }

      // Reset the input value
      if (input) {
        input.value = '';
      }

      this.fruitCtrl.setValue(null);
    }
  }

  remove(fruit: string): void {
    const index = this.fruits.indexOf(fruit);

    if (index >= 0) {
      this.fruits.splice(index, 1);
    }
  }

  selected(event: MatAutocompleteSelectedEvent): void {
    this.fruits.push(event.option.viewValue);
    this.fruitInput.nativeElement.value = '';
    this.fruitCtrl.setValue(null);
  }

  private _filter(value: string): string[] {
    const filterValue = value.toLowerCase();

    return this.allFruits.filter(fruit => fruit.toLowerCase().indexOf(filterValue) === 0);
  }
}

A:
1) How to add select dropdown option by going through
    arrowkey(not mouse) and populating selected option using spacebar(keycode- 32).

*

*Add properties to hold the selected fruit and the currently displayed fruits (filtered ones):
selectedFruit = -1;
 displayedFruits = [];

*After view init, subscribe to changes on keyManager to get the selected option and to changes on filtered fruits to get the filtered list and store it on displayedFruits :
ngAfterViewInit() {
  this.matAutocomplete._keyManager.change.subscribe((index) => {
    if (index >= 0) {
      this.selectedFruit = index;
    }
  })
  this.filteredFruits.subscribe((filteredFruits) => {
    this.displayedFruits = filteredFruits;
  });
}

*On add method, include an else clause to include the fruit and reset selectedFruit to -1:

add(event: MatChipInputEvent): void {
   // Add fruit only when MatAutocomplete is not open
   // To make sure this does not conflict with OptionSelected Event
   if (!this.matAutocomplete.isOpen) {
     // ...
   } else {
     if (this.selectedFruit >= 0) {
       this.fruits.push(this.displayedFruits[this.selectedFruit])
       this.fruitInput.nativeElement.value = '';
       this.fruitCtrl.setValue(null);
     } else if (this.fruitInput.nativeElement.value !== '' && this.displayedFruits.length === 0) {
       this.fruits.push(this.fruitInput.nativeElement.value)
       this.fruitInput.nativeElement.value = '';
       this.fruitCtrl.setValue(null);
     }
   }
   this.selectedFruit = -1;
}

2)How to remove option from dropdown that is already populated or used.

Enhance the filter to also check for already used fruit:
private _filter(value: string): string[] {
   const filterValue = value.toLowerCase();
   return this.allFruits.filter(fruit => fruit.toLowerCase().indexOf(filterValue) === 0 && !this.fruits.find( existingFruit => existingFruit === fruit ));
}

3)Show dropdown only when user enters some charcter in input text else show
    class="info"` text only in dropdown, when no input text is there and no
   option in dropdown matches enter charcters in input.

If I got it right, you may do this:

*

*Bind to input focus event to show autocomplete when input is focused

<input
placeholder="New fruit..."
#fruitInput
(focus)="matAutocomplete.showPanel = true"
[formControl]="fruitCtrl"
[matAutocomplete]="auto"
[matChipInputFor]="chipList"
[matChipInputSeparatorKeyCodes]="separatorKeysCodes"
[matChipInputAddOnBlur]="addOnBlur"
(matChipInputTokenEnd)="add($event)">

*Modify your autocomplete template to show an extra class="info" option when no text is entered or no value matches:

<mat-autocomplete #auto="matAutocomplete" (optionSelected)="selected($event)">
  <mat-option class="info" *ngIf="displayedFruits.length === 0 || fruitInput.value === ''" disabled>Test</mat-option>
  <ng-container *ngIf="fruitInput.value !== ''">
    <mat-option *ngFor="let fruit of displayedFruits" [value]="fruit">
      {{fruit}}
    </mat-option>
  </ng-container>
</mat-autocomplete>

"What Candidates See As Our Infrastructure Priorities": Time To Press The Presidential Candidates On Flint's Water Crisis
In every presidential campaign, there are issues everyone knows beforehand will be discussed — what should we do about immigration, how can we improve the economy, where should we go on health care — and events that become campaign issues when they burst into the news. So it is with the public health crisis in Flint, Michigan, where a public health catastrophe has played out over the last two years, and more and more politicians are being asked to comment on it.
To get you up to speed, in 2014, in an effort to save money, the city stopped getting its water from Detroit and began getting it from the contaminated Flint River. It turned out that all manner of nasty chemicals were contained in the water, most alarmingly, lead. It's important to understand that at the time, Flint's own elected officials were all but powerless, because the city was being run by a "emergency manager" appointed by Michigan governor Rick Snyder; it was the emergency manager who made the final call to switch their water supply (you can read more about that here). Emails released yesterday by Snyder's administration show that as Flint residents were complaining about the water's color and taste, and reporting ill health effects, state officials were not particularly eager to do anything about it. Snyder's chief of staff wrote in one email that other state officials felt that "some in Flint are taking the very sensitive issue of children's exposure to lead and trying to turn it into a political football."
Well it's a political football now — as well it should be. I've long been an advocate of "politicizing" just about everything (see here or here), not because candidates should take any excuse to blame each other for anything going wrong anywhere in the country, but because elected officials need to make choices, and campaigns provide an opportunity to get them on record saying how they'd address critical issues. Right after a hurricane is the best time to talk about what government should do to prepare for disasters, just as the aftermath of a high-profile police shooting is the best time to talk about police practices. It's when our attention gets focused on a problem and there's a real opportunity to make progress.
So what we're seeing now is that Democrats, particularly President Obama and those running for his party's presidential nomination, are eager to talk about Flint. Obama met with Flint's mayor, declared a state of emergency that will allow federal funds to flow there, and called the crisis "inexplicable and inexcusable." Hillary Clinton raised it in Sunday's debate when asked what issue she wish had been brought up but hadn't, saying, "We've had a city in the United States of America where the population which is poor in many ways and majority African American has been drinking and bathing in lead contaminated water. And the governor of that state acted as though he didn't really care. He had requests for help that he basically stonewalled. I'll tell you what, if the kids in a rich suburb of Detroit had been drinking contaminated water and being bathed in it, there would've been action." For his part, Bernie Sanders called for Snyder to resign.
And the Republicans? It won't be surprising if they aren't interested in discussing the race and class issues the crisis raises, and thus far, they don't seem to want to talk seriously about it at all. Ben Carson was the first to give any substantive comment, placing the blame on Flint's elected officials and the federal government, neatly excusing Governor Snyder's administration of any involvement. Marco Rubio was asked about it on Monday and said he couldn't say much, since "That's not an issue that right now we've been focused on"; from what I can tell he hasn't said anything about it since. Donald Trump was also reluctant to discuss it, responding to a reporter's question on Tuesday by saying, "A thing like that shouldn't happen, but, again, I don't want to comment on that." John Kasich said, "I think the governor has moved the National Guard in and, you know, I'm sure he will manage this appropriately." I haven't been able to find any comments from Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, or Rick Santorum.
But there is one Republican candidate who made detailed remarks about the issue: Ted Cruz. "It is a failure at every level of government, a failure of the city officials, a failure of the county officials, and the men and women of Michigan have been betrayed," Cruz said. "Every American is entitled to have access to clean water. And to all the children who have been poisoned by government officials, by their negligence, by their ineptitude, it's heart-breaking." In addition, Cruz's Michigan state director wrote on her Facebook page that the campaign was bringing bottled water to "crisis pregnancy centers" in the city, which try to convince women not to have abortions.
Cruz did his best to fit the issue in with his broader critique of government, but it isn't surprising that the rest of his Republican colleagues didn't really want to talk about it. If Snyder were a Democrat, you can be sure they'd be blaming him, but he isn't. They aren't going to say that this disaster demonstrates that the problems that affect poor and black people are given less attention by government at all levels than the problems that affect rich and white people, because most of them don't think that's actually true. They aren't going to say that this shows that we need a major investment in infrastructure spending in America, because they don't really believe that, either.
But those are the broader issues that the catastrophe in Flint raises, and that's what the candidates ought to be pressed on. They don't even have to agree on who bears the lion's share of the blame to agree that we have a national problem that requires attention. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives the country's drinking water system a grade of "D" and says that in the next couple of decades we will need to invest hundreds of billions of dollars, perhaps even into the trillions, in order to bring the system up to where it should be.
So now that we're focusing on the question of drinking water, the candidates should say what they see as our infrastructure priorities, how we should address them, how much we ought to spend, and how that fits in with the other things they'd like to spend money on.

"A Stinking Open Sewer": Unhappy Anniversary: How Anthony Kennedy Flooded Democracy With 'Sewer Money'
On today's anniversary of the Citizens United decision, which exposed American democracy to increasing domination by the country's very richest and most reactionary figures – the modern heirs to those "malefactors of great wealth" condemned by the great Republican Theodore Roosevelt – it is worth recalling the false promise made by the justice who wrote the majority opinion in that case.
Justice Anthony Kennedy masterminded the Supreme Court's January 21, 2010 decision to undo a century of public-interest regulation of campaign expenditures in the name of "free speech." He had every reason to know how damaging to democratic values and public integrity that decision would prove to be.
Once billed as a "moderate conservative," Kennedy is a libertarian former corporate lobbyist from Sacramento, who toiled in his father's scandal-ridden lobbying law firm, "influencing" California legislators, before he ascended to the bench with the help of his friend Ronald Reagan.
While guiding Citizens United through the court on behalf of the Republican Party's billionaire overseers, it was Kennedy who came up with a decorative fig leaf of justification:
With the advent of the Internet, prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions. This transparency enables the electorate to make informed decisions and give proper weight to different speakers and messages.
As Jane Mayer's superb new book Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right reveals in excruciating but fascinating detail, Kennedy's assertion about the Internet insuring disclosure and accountability was nothing but a little heap of happy horse-shit. "Independent" expenditures from super-rich right-wing donors have overwhelmed the opponents of their chosen candidates, promoting a durable Republican takeover of Congress — often through the deployment of false advertising and false-flag organizations.
Late last year, Kennedy confessed that his vaunted "transparency" is "not working the way it should," a feeble excuse since he had every reason to know from the beginning that his professed expectation of "prompt disclosure" of all political donations was absurdly unrealistic.
The Citizens United debacle led directly to the Republican takeover of the Senate as well as the House. Last week, the Brennan Center for Justice released a new study showing that "dark money" – that is, donations whose origin remains secret from news organizations and voters – has more than doubled in Senate races during the past six years, from $105 million to $226 million in 2014.
During the past three election cycles, outside groups spent about $1 billion total on Senate races, of which $485 million came from undisclosed sources. In the 11 most competitive Senate races in 2014, almost 60 percent of the spending by "independent" groups came from those murky places, and the winners of those races benefited from $171 million of such spending.
In elections gone by, when anonymous smear leaflets would appear in local races — funded by nobody knew whom — political operatives would shake their heads and mutter about "sewer money."
Today we can thank Anthony Kennedy, who was either poorly informed or willfully ignorant, for turning American democracy into a stinking open sewer.
What a legacy.

"Clerk Kim Davis Will Be A Lonely Footnote in History": Relishing In Her Little Patch Of Our Amber Waves Of Grain
Tricky business, this righteous outrage. You have to be so careful not to sound like a hypocrite while you're deriding hypocrisy. Messes with your sleep.
In the past few days, America's news media — from the largest organizations to the smallest blogs — have made a star of a 49-year-old woman in Appalachia named Kim Davis.
Davis is the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk who is refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses. She is declaring a religious exemption for herself in her little patch of our amber waves of grain. And she's an elected official, so no firing her.
I'm angry as all get-out over what Davis is doing, but I can't blame her for relishing the national attention. She's an American woman who, at her age, is supposed to be invisible. But there she is, popping up in everybody's newsfeed on her way to becoming a lonely footnote in history.
After the U.S. Supreme Court essentially told her to knock it off, Davis released an online statement through her new best friends, the far-right Liberty Counsel. An excerpt:
I owe my life to Jesus Christ who loves me and gave His life for me. Following the death of my godly mother-in-law over four years ago, I went to church to fulfill her dying wish. There I heard a message of grace and forgiveness and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I am not perfect. No one is. But I am forgiven and I love my Lord and must be obedient to Him and to the Word of God.
I never imagined a day like this would come, where I would be asked to violate a central teaching of Scripture and of Jesus Himself regarding marriage.
A brief interruption here to note what Jesus said about homosexuality.
Back to Davis:
To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God's definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience. It is not a light issue for me. It is a Heaven or Hell decision. For me it is a decision of obedience. I have no animosity toward anyone and harbor no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God's Word.
As that excerpt illustrates, Davis is unreachable regarding her version of Christianity. Ridiculing her faith, her appearance, and her multiple marriages, as so many have, only further convinces her of her rightness. She thinks God wants her to be a martyr. To her and those using her, our ridicule — our persecution — is proof that she is right.
We've been here before in this country, and as we have before, we will soon uproot this obstacle on the road to justice.
NPR's Robert Siegel asked Columbia University law professor Katherine Franke whether Davis' refusal to marry same-sex couples mirrors white officials' refusal to accept racial equality in the 1950s and '60s.
"It's exactly the same situation," Franke said. "I think that certain people in certain places are changing their view on homosexuality … but not everyone is there yet. And some people base their opposition to equality for same-sex couples — or for lesbians and gay men — in religion, but they can't use those values as a justification for not performing public functions.
"So what we're seeing now really in a way mirrors quite clearly what we saw in the 1950s, where many communities were more than happy to close all of their pools and playgrounds and public schools rather than having black children and white children play together. And we saw that resistance pass in a short period of time."
We don't need to mock Davis for justice to prevail. If we are to live our message, that all marriages are equal, then I'd rather treat her with the respect she has denied others. She can believe whatever she wants. Same-sex marriage is the law of the land, including in Rowan County.
Davis is a flawed human, and in that, she has a lot in common with the rest of us. As various news organizations have reported, Davis has been married four times, twice to the same man, and pregnant with twins by a man who was not her husband at the time. Eventually, she turned to God, hoping to find a way out of her mess of a life.
We can point to her circuitous route to redemption and her current state of religious certainty and declare her a fool and a hypocrite. Or we can see her as a woman who has joined that long list of humans looking for a chance to be something other than their biggest mistakes. I'm not going to get into the reasons my name is on the list. How about you?
I am not excusing Kim Davis' bigotry. I just don't want to let it harden my own heart.
I do, however, want to know why it is that the meanest of my fellow Christians claim they get their marching orders from God while the decent ones just keep acting like Jesus, loving everyone as best they can.
I'm going to be thinking about that all evening. I expect it will be a long night.

"Politicians Should Be Held To A Higher Standard": For Gun Victims, The Prayers Of Conservative Politicians Are Not Enough
After the latest mass shooting by an anti-tax, anti-government, anti-feminist arch-conservative in Lafayette, LA, the reactions from Republican politicians were as predictable as they were empty and stale. Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal had the usual reaction:
Gov. @BobbyJindal: The most important thing people can do now is to pray. Watch CNNgo: http://t.co/HAhU3MmiMf.
— CNN Breaking News (@cnnbrk) July 24, 2015
Frankly, that reaction is getting more than a little tiresome no matter what one's religious beliefs might be. When terrorists used airplanes as missiles against the United States in 2001, we didn't just pray for the victims: we changed our entire airline security system, spent billions on a new homeland security bureaucracy, and invaded not one but two countries at gigantic cost to life and treasure. When the ebola virus threatened to break out in the United States we didn't pray for deliverance from the plague; we went into a collective public policy and media frenzy to stop it from spreading further. When earthquakes prove our building standards are inadequate to save lives, we don't beg the gods to avert catastrophe and pray for the victims; we spend inordinate amounts of money to retrofit so it doesn't happen again.
On every major piece of public policy in which lives are taken needlessly, we don't limit ourselves to empty prayers for the victims. We actually do something to stop it from happening again.
But not when it comes to gun proliferation. On that issue we are told that nothing can be done, and that all we can do is mourn and pray for the murdered and wounded, even as we watch the news every day for our next opportunity to grieve and mourn and pray again–all while sitting back and watching helplessly.
For most of us, prayer and good vibes are all we can provide. It's not in our power to prevent the next deranged killer from gaining access to a deadly weapon of mass violence. But politicians should be held to a higher standard. They do have the power to act. For them, prayers are empty and basically meaningless compared to the power they refuse to wield to actually solve the problem.
No longer should we accept the facade of devotional compassion Bobby Jindal and his friends use to mask their indifferent obedience to the NRA and its rabid voters. If they refuse to act, their prayers don't mean a thing.

"The Vain And The Desperate": The Caress Of The Spotlight Redeems The Indignities Of The Process
In case you missed it, our nation's officeholders, current and former, have been working overtime to make us proud.
Ted Cruz threw a histrionic hissy fit in front of Arab Christians. Sarah Palin went to a birthday party where her family reportedly got into a brawl. Mark Sanford emitted a self-pitying aria of romantic angst. Debbie Wasserman Schultz compared some Republicans to wife beaters.
Somewhere in there, I sank into a newly deep funk about the kinds of people drawn to politics these days.
Then I burrowed into Matt Bai's new book and I hit rock bottom.
It's called "All the Truth Is Out," it will be published later this month and it's about Gary Hart. Remember him: the presidential contender who rode a boat named Monkey Business into a media whirlpool? You should, as the book, which is excerpted in The Times Magazine this weekend, makes clear.
And the reason isn't so much the scandal that swallowed him or his particular exit from the political arena. It's the warning that his story sounded — about a new brutality on the campaign trail, about uncharted frontiers of media invasiveness and about the way both would wind up culling the herd, not in favor of the strongest candidates but in favor of those so driven or vacuous that the caress of the spotlight redeems the indignities of the process.
Has running for public office become less attractive than ever? Does it frighten off potential leaders who might benefit us and clear a path for aspirants with less to offer?
Bai's book suggests as much, and he points a finger at political journalism, which, he writes, is "now concerned almost entirely with exposing lies and unearthing character flaws, sexual or not."
"Hart's downfall," Bai continues, "was the thing that tipped the scales completely, the catalyst that made it O.K. — even necessary — for all aspiring political reporters to cast themselves as amateur P.I.s and psychotherapists. If post-Hart political journalism had a motto, it would have been: We know you're a fraud somehow. Our job is to prove it."
"All the Truth Is Out" has fascinating tidbits, in particular about friendships that bloomed between Hart and Mikhail Gorbachev and Hart and Bill Clinton, his descendant in the annals of sexual scandal.
It also has a few belly laughs — painful ones. Bai writes that when the media was consumed by Hart's sex life, Johnny Carson joked that "the nomination would fall into Hart's lap — if there was any room left there. On the highly rated sitcom 'Golden Girls,' one of the little old ladies commented of another character, 'She's Gary Hart's campaign manager. It doesn't pay much, but you don't have to get out of bed to do it.' "
Those jokes serve a point: Hart was reduced to a single trait, and everything else he had to say was muffled by it. And the same questionable fate befell many politicians after him, as privacy perished and the media's insistence on a certain sort of juicy narrative intensified.
"It's just getting worse," Stuart Stevens, the veteran Republican strategist who spearheaded Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, told me. "It's the most grueling process imaginable."
As CNN's Peter Hamby noted in a study he wrote during a fellowship at Harvard last year, the accelerated news cycle of the social-media age demands meaningless scoops, trumpets dubious gaffes and turns the reporters trailing a candidate into "one giant, tweeting blob."
That blob suffocates its quarry, often at the prodding of his or her rivals, who supply opposition research (or "oppo") that strays from serious byways down silly cul-de-sacs. This was captured in a story about the Senate elections that was splashed across the top of the Politico website Friday afternoon.
The headline blared, "GOTCHA! How oppo took over the midterms." And the story began, "Why would anyone want to talk about immigration, terrorism, gun control or the national debt, when there's Alison Lundergan Grimes' bus, John Walsh's thesis, Bruce Braley's chickens and Pat Roberts' recliner? Gotcha stories — ranging from those tangentially related to issues of the day to the completely ephemeral and even absurd — have been front and center in an abnormally large number of top races this year."
Everything's a teapot, primed for a tempest. Although Joe Biden has a famously spastic tongue and there's no reason to believe he is anti-Semitic, he makes an indecorous reference to "Shylocks" and the outrage machinery cranks into gear. The content-ravenous blogosphere lights up.
But the hysteria of the present media climate isn't the only problem or turnoff. There's the extended duration of a political race. There's the ceaseless fund-raising, the burden of which was spelled out in an internal memo that leaked from Michelle Nunn's Senate campaign in Georgia. It decreed that drumming up money should consume 80 percent of her time in the first quarter of 2014, declining to 70 percent in the third.
The memo identified Jews as a "tremendous financial opportunity," so long as Nunn struck the right position on Israel, still to be finessed. Ah, the heartfelt conviction that animates today's candidate!
Writing about the memo in The Times Magazine, Mark Leibovich said that his main takeaway was "that a political campaign today is a soul-killing pursuit." He presumes a soul to take.
Seriously, who's attracted to this ordeal? Some people with only the best intentions and motivations, yes. But also plenty like Sanford, whose 2,346-word Facebook post about his postmarital woes signaled a Newt-caliber neediness. Or like Wasserman Schultz, an intemperate warrior who, if Politico's profile of her last week got it right, is consumed by self-centered ambition. Or like Cruz, with his lust for attention, even if it's negative.
Or like Palin. She's clearly on Bai's mind when he writes that the "post-Hart climate" of estrangement between politicians and the press — and of shallow campaign pageantry — made it easier for candidates with little policy expertise or insight into governance, because no one expected any candidate to say anything too detailed or deep.
"A politician could duck any real intellectual scrutiny simply by deriding the evident triviality of the media," Bai writes.
It's odd and funny that the conservative writer Charles Krauthammer sought to vilify President Obama last week by calling him, of all things, a narcissist. When this came up on "The View" and narcissism was explained to Rosie O'Donnell as "a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of self and their own importance and a deep need for admiration," she replied, "That's every celebrity I know, including me."
It's a lot of politicians, too. The process guarantees it.

This is a perfect example of maternal instinct in full force. A female honey badger launched a surprise attack on a leopard that had one of her offspring in its clutches at the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve within the Greater Kruger Park.
Not only did the startled leopard let go of the young honey badger, but it bolted through the thicket with the mother badger hot on its heels in what appears to be a deadly rage.
The event was captured on film by Sahara Wulfsohn, a 28-year-old guide at Kirkmans Kamp in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. In an interview with Latest Sightings she explains what happened.
'When we arrived at the scene, Joel pointed out the leopard, which was moving slowly through a tamboti thicket towards us. At this point, I was very excited and grateful at having been given this excellent opportunity to show my guests a real-life leopard.
'I didn't notice initially, but there was a young honey badger a few meters away from us, and about 10 meters away from the leopard. When I realized what was about to happen I could hardly believe my eyes!
After the attack, the mother dragged the large cub to shelter and safety in a hole in a nearby termite mound, and according to Latest Sightings, 'the young badger had probably broken its front right leg, but will almost certainly survive thanks to the strength and protection of its mother'.

Turkey praises 'two heroes' who helped victims in Vienna attack
The men's actions draw praise from Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu for saving the lives of two women and a police officer.

Two Austrian men of Turkish descent said they helped save a police officer and two women during a deadly gun attack in Vienna, actions the Turkish government described as heroic.
The men's actions drew praise from Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, whose country's relations with Austria have been strained in recent years.
Cavusoglu also offered condolences to Austria on Tuesday after the gun attack on Monday night in which five people died, including the attacker.
Recep Tayyip Gultekin told Turkish state-owned Anadolu news agency that he and Mikail Ozen had been in Vienna city centre when they heard gunshots, headed in the direction of the noise, and saw a gunman shooting a passer-by.
"Last night there were two heroes in Vienna. Recep Tayyip and Mikail did what a true Turk and Muslim is expected to do! Thank you young men. We are proud of you!" Cavusoglu wrote on Twitter.
Dün gece Viyana'da iki kahraman vardı. Bir Türk ve Müslümanın yapması gereken neyse onu yaptı.
Recep Tayyip ve Mikail!
Teşekkürler çocuklar.
Sizlerle GURUR DUYUYORUZ !🇹🇷 https://t.co/R0n4WqWTgo
— Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu (@MevlutCavusoglu) November 3, 2020
Gultekin said he carried the wounded woman to a nearby restaurant, and "the terrorist pointed his gun at me", adding he threw himself to the ground and slightly hurt his leg.
"We got into my friend's car and went to the nearest police station to report the incident," he said.
Gultekin said they also helped an elderly woman move to a safe location.
Ozen, a personal trainer and mixed martial arts fighter, described to journalists how he and Gultekin also assisted a policeman during the attack.
He said two policemen, who threw themselves onto the wounded officer to protect him, urged the pair to stay back for their safety.
But he said they walked over and carried the injured policeman to an ambulance.
"They were shocked and we were shocked … The paramedics were standing over there … We looked at each other and we just walked over. We did what was necessary," he said.
"I, as a Muslim of Turkish descent, want to say I live in Austria, I was born in Austria, I went to school in Austria and learned my profession here in Austria," Ozen said. "If the same thing were to happen again today, I would do the exact same thing without a second thought. Because we live in Austria, we stand with Austria."
Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer at a news conference said: "It's important for me to mention that the injured police officer was brought to safety by two Austrians with an immigration background."
'Need to combat terrorism'
In a Twitter post, Nikolaus Meyer-Landrut, the European Union ambassador to Turkey, also thanked the two men for their help.
Quoting Cavusoglu's tweet on Gultekin and Ozer, the ambassador said: "Mr Minister, we thank Turkish citizens Recep Tayyip Gultekin and Mikal Ozer for helping those injured in the attacks in Vienna and congratulate them."
Cavusoglu phoned Austria's foreign minister to express his solidarity.
"As a country that has suffered a lot from terrorism and terror attacks, we are against all types of terror. We believe that there is a need to combat all forms of terrorism without making any distinction," he told reporters on Tuesday.

Away We Go
Each Sam Mendes film deals with the theme of isolation. The longing to escape, to flee, to become someone else. His latest, Away We Go, is no different. So it is with great pleasure to announce that Away We Go is unlike anything Sam Mendes has ever done.
What if Scorsese made a musical? What if Wes Anderson helmed a Holocaust drama? Their essence would be there, their tone and feel, but the subject matter and style would be completely different. That's Away We Go. Instead of Thomas Newman's smooth, cunning score, we get a slew of folksy (yet appropriate) songs from Alex Murdoch. Instead of Conrad L. Hall's (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) and Roger Deakins' (Jarhead, Revolutionary Road) shadowy, intense cinematography, we get Ellen Kuras' open, bright lens.
The beauty of this film starts with Mendes' bold choice in actors. Leads John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are known for television comedy (The Office and Saturday Night Live, respectively) but here, they both show remarkable depth and genuine heartfelt emotion.
"Are we fuckups?," Verona asks Burt one cold evening. At first, you'll think yes, but the truth is, they are anything but. The couple is excited about having the child Verona is six months pregnant with, but they long for something more. When they find out Burt's hilariously bewildered parents are moving to Antwerp, the couple decides to trek across the country, in search of a new place to call home.
Their ventures take them to Phoenix, Madison, Miami and even Canada. We get the zany co-worker (Allison Janney, remember her as the emotionally dead mother in American Beauty?), the way-too-out-there friend (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and other family and friends that take Burt and Verona in for a brief stint of time. But the transcendental highlight of the film is when our sturdy couple goes to Montreal to visit some old college friends (Chris Messina, Melanie Lynskey). There, we discover an impossibly happy, albeit mixed, family who all help take care of each other. But things aren't exactly what they appear. In this chapter, Messina delivers a monologue inside a faux strip club that will leave you speechless. It's poignant, perceptive and amazingly real. Messina (who you've seen as Rebecca Hall's smart, conservative, and clueless boyfriend in Vicky Christina Barcelona) should get a Supporting Actor nomination based solely on the delivery of that one speech. Classic stuff.
Thank writers Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida for giving Mendes such a great blueprint. In all honesty, I can't say enough about this picture. It kept me laughing, longing, and guessing until its last frame.
Away We Go is bound to be compared as the "Little Miss Sunshine of the year", "the Juno of 2009", "the little indie wonder that could". Problem is, it's better than those films; in fact, Away We Go is the most emotionally satisfying movie-going experience I've had so far this year. Let it take you. A

OSCAR! OSCAR!
Yes, I am aware that it is entirely too early to start talking about the race. But this is news that must be announced.
The Academy recently said that they will nominate 10 films for Best Picture this year. This goes back to an old Oscar tradition of the '30s and '40s when nominating 10 films for the top prize was standard.
I imagine this change comes after last year's Best Picture race, which was heavily criticized for not accepting films from different genres, (The Dark Knight, Wall-E, etc).
How do you feel about this? Is 10 too much? Will it split votes? What surprises will we see that we wouldn't see if there were five? I know one for sure: expect Up to make the cut.
Is it possible for a person to win Best Actor, even though they are playing themselves, in a documentary? Watching Mike Tyson tell his story in his own unflinching words is no less exhilarating than watching one of his own fights. When Tyson recounts that he learned to fight out of necessity, talking slowly as he fights back tears, stating: "After that, I knew no one was ever going to fuck with me again," I dare you to not be moved.
James Toback's Tyson is a film of remarkable candor and depth. You may be suspicious that Tyson would favor himself and leave out details that would incriminate his character. Think again. After just a few short minutes into the film, it's clear that Tyson's biggest critic is Tyson himself.
With remarkably honest detail, Tyson remembers his troubled youth in Brooklyn, where he got picked on and beat up regularly. But after that first street fight (the circumstances of which involve a horrifying story about a pigeon), he knew he was out for blood. In and out of jail dozens of times before he was 13, Tyson was given a shot by Cus D'Amato, an old white guy who took Tyson in and treated him like a son. D'Amato taught young Tyson the ropes; the mechanics of fighting, the attitude, the hunger, everything to shape a brilliant fighter.
So as I'm watching the film, which uses swift split-screen and voice-over editing, my one thought was: when do things go wrong? If there is a moment that Tyson started to decline, it was with the passing of D'Amato. In the years following D'Amato's death, Tyson became the youngest champ ever, slept with hundreds and girls, contracted STDs, blew millions of dollars, and became the vulgar, unstoppable Mike Tyson that many of us recognize today.
But prepare to have your judgments overturned. Tyson admits taking advantage of women, but denies the rape of Desiree Washington, which landed him a three year prison bit. He admits having anger issues, but still found it inappropriate when wife Robin Givens called him out on Barbara Walters. Hell, Tyson even makes you understand why he chomped on Evander Holyfield's ear (well, sort of).
The point is, this is an honest account of a deeply misunderstood and conflicted man. And believe me, you don't have to be a boxing fan to enjoy the picture. In fact, there were several older, white women in the audience with me, and our tears fell just the same. A-

How is it that the most adult films over the past few summers have been Pixar animated? This isn't going to be a normal review. I'm not going to describe the plot or the awesomeness of the visuals (especially in 3-D). Instead I'm going to focus my attention on one particular scene. Because, quite frankly, that's all you need to know.
Up is unlike any animated movie I've seen. Wall-E got damn close, but Up actually made me care. I actually got emotional. I was stunned. Here's how.
About ten minutes into the film there is a wordless montage that displays a man's life. The scene, set to Michael Giacchino's sure-to-be-Oscar-nominated score, is poignant, perceptive, genuine, heartfelt, sad, funny, and effortlessly beautiful. I saw the film six days ago and since then I have been trying very hard to think of a better, more accomplished montage sequence from any film. Ever. And guess what. I've come up short (the quiet, controlled boxing montage in Million Dollar Baby is close, though). The Up scene lasts for around ten minutes and deals with issues that young children won't understand, and that I wouldn't dare spoil here. It's worth the price of admission alone. If this scene was in any live action drama, that movie would be nominated for Best Picture, without a doubt. In short, this is the best sequence I've seen so far in any movie this year. Behold a thing of wonder. A-
Todd Phillips, who made the frat-pack famous with Old School, returns with a similar, if not a slightly funnier version of thirtysomethings gone wild.
The plot for The Hangover couldn't be more packed with clichés. Four buddies head to Vegas for a night of bachelor party debauchery. They wake up, remembering nothing, only to discover that the groom-to-be is MIA. Boring. But the fun of the film is when it deviates from your expectations.
The first hint that this romp may deliver beyond your prospects is that it starts with the end. Then conveniently retraces most of its steps. Another hint is the fact that not a single frame of this film is dedicated to watching the guys get wasted. Think of it as the Reservoir Dogs of drunken hysterics. By not showing us what actually went down, the film plays like a genuine hangover, as the audience tries to put the pieces together right along with the characters.
So, yes, there are a few things that stand out here, but the laughs, for the most part, are pretty plain. Bradley Cooper (the dick boyfriend from Wedding Crashers) cements himself as the next-big-thing, shooting to the A-list with his black suit and slicked-backed hair. Ed Helms (The Office) steals some laughs with a missing tooth, but it's Zack Galifianakis as the dim-witted brother-in-law that takes the cake. Almost every line he has is delivered with precise comic timing. You'll be rolling in your seats when Galifianakis questions the authenticity of Caesar's Palace, or tries to justify his wearing a fanny pack.
If for no other reason, I'll recommend the film for its closing credits montage. Those ending shots have been stealing most of the film's buzz, and for good reason. They are easily the funniest moments I've seen on screen so far this year. Don't leave early. B
Tony Scott first started his now patented, zip-zoom, head-inducing style of filming with Man on Fire, a film I like very much. But he wore that style out with Domino and especially with Déjà Vu. Now Scott is back, toning down his blazing, repetitive cinematography, with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, a completely decent action thriller.
The film, a re-vamp of the 1974 cult classic, casts a sturdy Denzel Washington as a train dispatcher, who finds himself quickly, and violently, in the center of a hostage situation. You see, a badass John Travolta has hijacked a train, parked it in an underground tunnel and demanded $10 mil in an hour, or else people start to die. Basic plot, nothing new.
What propels this film above your standard summer flare, are the performances. Washington is great here, putting on a few pounds to really understand the desk worm. James Gandolfini, as the post-Giuliani, post-9/11 mayor of NYC is cunning and smart, leaving Tony Soprano way behind. The rest of the supporting crew is good as well, but it's Travolta that steals the show. With his shaved head, prison-tattooed neck and manic energy, we totally believe him every step of the way. He's a villain that talks the talk (as they all do) but he walks the walk as well (which many never do).
The camera may zip around a bit too much, and the music can be annoying (I mean really, how many different remixes of Jay-Z's "99 Problems" can you put into a two hour film). But I'd say that the Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is the best action fare out there right now. B
Welcome to real summer fun. Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell is the best horror film in years. It's got more thrills and genuine laughs than any movie I've seen so far this year. In a genre so etched-out that we always know what's coming, Drag Me to Hell is one hell of a fresh slice of shock cinema.
Let's face it, PG-13 horror movies almost always suck (The Grudge, The Haunting of Molly Hartley), and the R-rated ones usually rely too heavily on blood and guts (Saw, Hostel) instead of a good story. But Drag Me to Hell's rating is almost a blessing. Sure, it's PG-13, but you wouldn't know it. No, Raimi does a brilliant job of going back to his Evil Dead days, delivering his violence in a tasteful, albeit gross, manner. Instead of blood, we get bugs. Instead of torture, we get great lines of dialogue ("Here kitty, kitty.")
Did I mention how the wonderfully timed thrills are matched perfectly with humor? A lot of horror films are unintentionally funny. A cheesy line of dialogue or a completely bullshit method of murder can ruin a film-going experience. Not here. Raimi wants you to laugh. He mocks the film's outrageous themes and actually makes them funny. Great stuff.
Christine (Alison Lohman) is a loan officer in desperate want of a promotion. She's told that she needs to be tougher on clients. So when little old Mrs. Ganush asks for a third extension on her home loan, Christine turns her down. Big mistake. Ganush is out of blood, putting a curse on Christine which, if not stopped, will ultimately, you guessed, drag her to hell. But not before some seriously creepy shit goes down. Even her trusty boyfriend (Justin Long, doing good work), can't stop the madness.
Sure this film has its typical horror-film faults. But roll with it. This is a movie that would benefit greatly from a viewing in a dark, crowded theatre, with hundreds of screaming spectators. I imagine some of its allure will be lost in bright living rooms via DVD. Regardless, Drag Me to Hell is the most fun I've had at the movies so far this year. You're in for one hell of a ride. A-

A new study, released by Maine Equal Justice Partners, has determined that one of Gov. Paul LePage's assertions — that childless adults covered by MaineCare tend to be young and healthy — is simply untrue.
Although LePage's spokeswoman, Adrienne Bennett, insisted the average age of a childless MaineCare recipient was 40 years old, the data seem to contradict that assertion.
Members of this group tend not only to be older, but chronically ill as well. Sixty percent of the members are age 35 or older; 43 percent are age 45 or older.
Disease, including cancer and mental health conditions, account for most of the services used by this group. Forty-seven percent of members getting services fall into a major diagnostic grouping of disease or cancer (e.g., a disease of the nervous system, the circulatory system, digestive system); 24 percent had a diagnosis categorized as a mental disorder; 11 percent were treated for an injury or poisoning.
"People with chronic illness who lack access to care forgo needed health care, often with severe consequences. Uninsured adults with common chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, arthritis-related conditions, high cholesterol, asthma and heart disease) suffer serious, identifiable gaps in needed medical care. Almost half of these adults do not access needed medical care or prescription drugs due to cost and, as a result, are at higher risk of mortality," the report asserted.
The report also made the point that Maine is by no means alone in offering Medicaid to these groups. Twenty states offer health-insurance assistance to poor, childless adults, especially to cover catastrophic health issues and chronic disease. Beginning in 2014, all states will be required to provide this care anyway, under the Affordable Care Act, so removing it for a year and a half, with the health issues likely to be caused during that period, is counterproductive.
Dr. Laurel Coleman, who worked on the report, said that the impact on those who will lose health coverage for that short period could be devastating. "For several of the people we interviewed [the loss of coverage] will result in deteriorating health; early, preventable disability; and significant increases in high-cost emergency-room services. In some cases, deteriorating health likely will bring on misery, in others an unnecessarily shortened life."
The report also made the point that for the majority of MaineCare recipients, MaineCare is a temporary step — less than two years — until they become healthy enough to return to work. Cutting them off could cause them to remain unemployed and unproductive. More than half of all MaineCare members ever enrolled in this program were enrolled for less than one year; three-quarters were enrolled for less than two years. However, 10 percent of members using services accounted for 60 percent of the program's cost. These individuals have serious conditions that require longer-term care.
The federal government matches MaineCare to a high degree. If Maine eliminates coverage for low-income adults, the state will forgo $37 million in federal funding, while shifting that cost to the private sector. "People who are chronically ill and uninsured eventually will access the health care system — they just won't be able to pay for their care. Although doctors and hospitals will absorb some of these costs, they will be forced to increase their fees as a cost of doing business, and these higher fees will drive health insurance premiums up. Fewer employers will be able to afford to offer coverage. More people will become uninsured. And so the cycle goes," the report read.
The report went on to make the case that a healthier population results in a healthier economy, giving Maine a competitive edge against other states. During the period of time when Maine offered MaineCare to childless adults, the uninsured rate fell from 40 percent to 29 percent for that demographic.

The Ionic Cleanse was designed and developed to restore the body's energy and balance while facilitating and aiding in its natural detoxification process. This device has been proven in clinical trials to balance and restore the body's Ph and electromagnetic energy.
Basically it uses the same technology that is used in electroplating metals of various types . Essentially, a electrical current is run through a solution and that current polls one type of metal to coat another. As an example, if something is gold plated or silver plated, we have the patient place their feet in the solution and run the electrical current between a copper and zinc anode that causes toxins to be pulled out of the patient's body. These toxins are of various types, but ones that we focus on the most with this particular type of treatment or metals and other toxins can be found in the human body, but should not there. Toxins that should not be in your body are toxins like aluminum arsenic barium and other things things can be hard on your health.

The Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge, otherwise known as the Edison Bridge, carries Ohio State Routes 2 and 269 over Sandusky Bay. The bridge, which is  in length, was completed in 1965. It was named for inventor and nearby Milan native Thomas Edison.

Predecessor

The Edison Bridge replaced the Bay Bridge, a lift bridge which was dedicated on February 2, 1929. The Bay Bridge was initially a private bridge maintained by the Sandusky Bay Bridge Company, which charged a 50-cent toll; the Ohio Department of Highways bought it for $1,795,000, at first lowering the toll to 25 cents then abolishing it on August 30, 1946. The Ohio Department of Transportation closed the lift span on April 19, 1985 after an inspection which predicted a collapse due to its own weight; it formally abandoned the span in April 1986 and subsequently removed it in May 1989, converting its approaches to fishing piers.
