The sad part, is how despite not being the reason for winning, farm killers are being rewarded more often, with better rewards. That's why people have no incentive to play objectively. In Domination for example, you can either:
A. Capture and Defend the most flags, but have a lower KDR and almost no rewards
B. Avoid objectives, and rack in a higher KDR and a lot more rewards.
Most people go for "B", because they feel empowered by the fact of going 112-3 in an objective game. Realistically you'd look like an ass with a high KDR and little objective pursuits. Too bad only mature people can see the truth.
I also blame the lack of objective stats on the scoreboard, the refusal to remove KDR from the scoreboard in objective games, and WHY in god's name did they add a MOAB? It's like a magnet that attracts farm killers.
And last thing--i KNOW people will defend farm killing, by telling us that they're suppressing the enemy, or making it hard for the enemy to travel to the objective. Was that really your intent? How often did you seriously think about your team when you were farm killing? When people gloat about KDR in objective games, I see no "teamwork" in their eyes. Just self preservation.
Re: Objective base k/d whoringKTPhoenix Feb 17, 2012 4:47 AM (in response to thebiindsniper)
you are absolutely right. and the thing is, in the video that IW released saying what they were taking out, the nuke was one of them (along with other things that are still in the game). then they came out and said the MOAB was a hidden killstreak. that doesnt matter, the fact that it is still in the game, makes or breaks what goes on in objective matches like DOM. i know that k/d whores wont stop what they are doing if IW takes the MOAB out, but at least taking out the MOAB makes it more fair to the ones playing.
i dont want to hear any of this "its fair cuz anyone can get it". i dont care. the fact is that some people such as myself cant get a MOAB to save our life and the other fact is that a lot of people like me dont go for MOABs in objective based matches. how fair is it for you to be going by the objective and wanting a high score and getting a lot of points (like you are supposed to be doing) then all of a sudden you and your whole team dies by a bomb and the whole opposite team gets double XP for the remainder of the match? and they owe it to 1 player that was basically camping the whole time, nowhere near any objective.
i honestly dont know why they left it in. EVERYONE wanted the nuke gone and IW said they took it out but guess what? they lied about that like they lied about other stuff in this game.
Re: Objective base k/d whoringdeadestllama Feb 17, 2012 7:47 AM (in response to KTPhoenix)
Did they lie about the nuke being gone? At least it doesnt end the game right?
I wish for you to receive the MOAB you would have to select it as a KS. That way at least they would have to give up something right?
Anywho, when Im playing solo Dom and I know my team isnt going to play the objective/isnt very good I try to build up air support first, and then start trying to win the game. Doesnt always work, but it helps if the other team has to fool around with an attack chopper. Usually gives me enough time to at least steal B from under their noses.
Re: Objective base k/d whoringShadow_Alq Feb 17, 2012 4:33 AM (in response to zingaa)
Well, me and guys play for win so its really sad knowing we went all like 15-10 or 20-17 to win the Domination Game, while other team captured 0 Flags over all game but they had one or two guys making 35-15!!.. Guess they think they're the best (even losing)...
Re: Objective base k/d whoringJetEye Feb 17, 2012 4:42 AM (in response to zingaa)
I agree. The sad part is, they think they are the best even though, in my experience, they constantly lose.
If they are on the other team I'll say to them after the game, "Thanks for helping us win. Thanks for k/d whoring instead of focusing on the objective."
they come back with
"Shut up kid (even though I'm 29), you're talking sh*t and you went negative?"
I say back.
"How dumb can you be? When I know my team is going to win I'll mess with the other team, and cause my self many preventable deaths. It's more fun than camping it out like you were doing even though you lost your asses off. But dying doesn't matter to me in objective based games if we win. It's ALL about the win. That's the only thing that matters to me and should matter."
They leave the lobby with their tails tucked between their legs.

So do you only complain if your on the losing end of the kill whoring because they can be helpful too the team some don't just sit and camp i love having someone other then myself getting 30+kills i only play groundwars so kill whoring playing DOM is always fun

Case in point!
Some players will justify it say "I was defending", oh yeah? Then why did we keep losing all our flags? Exactly
Re: Objective base k/d whoringKTPhoenix Feb 17, 2012 5:28 AM (in response to zingaa)
there is a sense of pride when you beat someone who is actually trying. there is no point in playing against people who dont try and all they want ot do is camp and get kills. i honestly like playing against people who fight back for the objectiv instead of sitting in corners because it is just a better feeling knowing that you completed the task to the best of your ability against a team that was doing the same.
its about pride and accomplishment, NOT about getting mad cuz they decide to go fora MOAB.
Re: Objective base k/d whoringpl4n3tm3nt4l Feb 17, 2012 5:42 AM (in response to zingaa)
I'm the type of player that will do anything and everything to get the win. But after we have 2 dom points and are winning I kill whore.

Hey guys, you want to see what Spawn Killing is...here you go...This is not SCORE WHORING, this is a spawn problem. The video makes a lot of good points.
Re: Objective base k/d whoringRednecksniper39 Feb 17, 2012 5:59 AM (in response to HORSESIXZERO)
videos like this apart of the problem. these so called "pro" players that do commentaries about their gameplay. idk if the were trying the show the spawn system or purposely running right by the objective to go kill someone.

i play domantion alot well its the only game mode i'll play really , i hate when people dont cap or ******* defend the flag even when there's 4 team mates around the dam flag , i cap about 5-6 a match thatss if im not defending to flags at ponces which ******* hard and i still get a hight K/D ratio , i wish there were more poeple who would play the game and cap **** the campers and loads kills .

Play in a party. My GT: is PL4N3T M3NT4L hit me up we'll play together.
Re: Objective base k/d whoringHORSESIXZERO Feb 17, 2012 6:31 AM (in response to bigjon00)
Guys, this guy and his team had those points on lock. They spawn camped. This is why I say, domination is a trash game mode. When I played 3d Person Team Tactical in 2, we'd spawn trap em on Rust and the game would be over before it began.
If you look on the forums for the game mode I thought up, I think you'd all like it.
It could use some tweaking and such, but it's just a draft idea how to make that mode kinda cool.
Look up the "New Game Mode Idea" thread.

Very dark almost black beer. If I hold it up to the light, I can see a slight brownish red tint. No head, just some momentary fizz.
Strong clove in the aroma. Some sweetness. I'm not picking up much else in the aroma.
Way too heavy on the spice flavors. Tastes like I'm drinking a spice rack. A mouth full of cloves. Nasty.
Medium bodied with a dry bitter finish.
Really not impressed with this beer. I'm glad I didn't cellar it for a long time and finally drink a bottle of cloves after years. Though, maybe the spice character would have faded after a while.... I'll never know.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Bottled on 12/6/12, poured into stone snifter
A- pours a dark brown, nearly black color with a small creamy khaki colored head that has good retention long after the pour, leaving some lace behind
S- big dose of clove and nutmeg, with hints of cinnamon, allspice, gingerbread, floral sweetness, fruitcake, burnt dark sugar and fig. Spices are still pronounced.
T- first impression is that the spices are still pronounced, big flavors of clove, cinnamon, gingerbread cookie, nutmeg, allspice, tastes like Christmas in a glass. The finish lingers charred malt, candied orange and sweet figs, awesome
M- medium body with low carbonation leads to a slightly foamy mouthfeel and a smooth finish, just a touch of abv warmth
O- this was a home run for me. One of the best "Christmas" spiced beers that I've ever had and the spices are still alive and kicking. Very good start to a 7 year vertical

I saw this in a local tobacco and beer place called "Habits" in Salem OR and thought I would take a chance since it was in the fridge. Cost? $3.99 Pours a dark dark brown almost blackcurrant look..nice thick tan head. Nice moderate spicy coriander aspects along with small "barnyard and blackberries in the aroma..very pleasing to the nose. Taste is all of the above with a touch of bitters and very smooth and well melded. Some dark roasted coffee in the end but in balance with the whole. Mouth feel on this is spectacular, smooth oh so silky smooth yet kicks in with some refreshing surprises. Excellent drink..the age seems to have been good for this beer. There is one left..i plan to get it tomorrow.

Pours silken black with little to no cream colored head.
Aromas of mocha, fruit, almond, sweet booze
Taste follows nose..twangy banana like sweetness with a coffee mocha rounding out. Flavor is deep and complex..flavors open as temp warms.
Mouthfeel is slippery and full.. Not heavy but well developed.
Overall a complex and different beer..have not had any of the other vertical epics but I would gather that they were probably quite something from the tastes of this.

Color- near black with dark mocha head.
Aroma- nutmeg, cinnamon, raisin and other spices.
Taste- (initial tasting on 12/30/2012) Starts with a spiced intro including clove, cinnamon, and pine needles, then mellows out with roasted malt notes, finishing with a balanced hoppiness.
Aged test 10/20/2013- on retest this is ambrosia. This is like eating a homemade pumpkin pie while drinking an aged Scotch with the faint aroma of pipe smoke in the background. Silky and beautiful! A true epic.
Each time poured from 650 ml bomber into a Liefmans Goudenband glass (my preferred all purpose beer tasting glass).

China Mobile (Over 700 Million Subscribers) Welcomes Nokia Lumia 920T – the most innovative smartphone
NokConv has published news that the Nokia Lumia 920T is making its way to China Mobile – the world's largest mobile network with over 700 Million subcribers.
Stephen Elop said:
"We are delighted to partner with China Mobile, the largest operator in the world, to introduce our first Lumia on Windows Phone 8 device in this key market for Nokia. We are excited for Chinese consumers to experience the most innovative smartphone with the best photography and navigation capabilities."
Some exclusive localised apps for China:
- The best Internet experience, thanks to cooperation with leading local providers Sina, Sohu, Tencent, Baidu and Renren
- 50,000 apps in the Chinese Marketplace, covering all the top local services
- Great deals from popular location-based service Jiepang, by simply tapping the device using NFC in multiple outlets across Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou
- Nokia and Air China announce a strategic partnership which lets passengers enjoy wireless chargers in Beijing Airport VIP lounges
- Access to Mobile Market, China Mobile's app store, offering a large range of applications and services tailored for Chinese people, and an easy shopping experience.
Available colours. Black, white, red, yellow.

50k apps? What?
In the Chinese Marketplace. I guess many developers have not published their app there or they are banned there.
Probably 50,000 apps localized in Mandarin.
awesome! I hope the 920T is a huge hit and massive seller!
Smile, China, smile!
Ah, the "T" version with the secret service API on board.
Great news!
is anybody watchin this
yeah. six twenty? 620?
What about the release date?
"available for order by the end of the year" it says in the Conversations story.
out of topic but,hey jay,nokia launched lumia 620!
maybe this is why NOK jumped 5.5% yesterday, those bastard traders usually know the news before it happens,
"Nokia and Air China announce a strategic partnership which lets passengers enjoy wireless chargers in Beijing Airport VIP lounges"
oh how i wish i could see the look of jealousy on the faces of the isheep when they see lumia owners charging their phones.
who's VIP now biatch !!!
Another fail as Apple will launch their phone on Dec 14. Not saying this will measure the success of the Lumia but it will put a dent in it. I am sure people in China understand what and innovative phone is as compared to the U.S. Lol
The iPhone will not be available on China Mobile, the largest carrier
Oh what a shame, you rained on Mike's hate parade!
Dry your eyes, Mike!
I am not a hater. I am a Nokia fan as I have a Lumia 900 and N8… awaiting my 920… FYI
In Mark's world, anyone that's not as rabid as him is a "hater".
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Well done to Nokia and Elop, CMMC is a huge carrier with plenty of potential. I guess it uses CMMC's TD-SCDMA network for data or even its new LTE network. It will be a big win for Nokia because Lumia is seen as a premium brand and a big entry into the China market after years of cheap S60v5 and S40 devices. Couple that with plenty of local apps and the 920T will be the next shiny status symbol.
The iPhone 5 only works fully on China Unicom on GSM and HSPA. I don't think it works on China Telecom's CDMA/EVDO network. So the iSheep are at a disadvantage

text: In the '60s, Triumphs contended for wins in nearly every kind of motorcycle competition. The long-running 500 and 650cc vertical-twins were joined by an audacious three-cylinder 750 called the T150 Trident in '68, and that model became the basis for additional racing successes from the Isle of Man to Daytona. If only spiritually, the four-speed T150 and later five-speed T160 provided the template for modern-day Triumph's brilliant Speed Triple nameplate, with a Ferrari-esque ripping exhaust note as a central feature. Restorer Bob Rymer brought along his clean '75 T160, thoughtfully modified with freer-breathing reverse-mega silencers, an earlier airbox and a triple-carb setup. Flood the two outside Amals, thumb the electric starter and the vintage triple growls to life, copious valve clatter almost overpowering the exhaust note. Though the exhaust sounds silky enough, as the revs build so does vibration, and before long the entire machine is dancing like a 53-bhp vibrator. Footpegs, seat and handlebars are alive as we accelerate through the stiff gearbox action. Yet the engine does prove nicely perky, stretching into a high-rpm power peak with satisfying urgency, while the ripping exhaust note merges with an intriguing airbox for an enjoyable overall sound. It was good enough for the T150 to dish out a 12.7-second E.T. at 106 mph back in the day. Lovely T160 three-cylinder engine made pretty good horsepower and an even prettier song during its time. This was the final evolution of the Triumph brand before its rebirth in '91. Lovely T160 three-cylinder engine made pretty good horsepower and an even prettier song du Fitted with lower-than-stock bars, the riding position is properly sporting too, and the T160's long, flat saddle lets you pick your position. Vibration is not the only constant: While the steering is light and neutral at lower speeds, power the Trident through a high-speed sweeper and the chassis immediately begins a hip-shaking two-step. Superbike racer Steve McLaughlin campaigned a Trident in West Coast AFM events early in his big-bike career. "That Triumph was like an animal," he recalls. "There was just a feel about it, and you felt much more connected to it than to a Japanese bike of the period. The best thing about it was its basic stability, and the whole package worked well together. Its challenge was basic reliability; the fundamental parts were all right but sh*t was always falling off!" Norton Villiers Triumph gauges mark the T160 as the last of its breed. Finding no redline on the tach, riders would simply go by feel. Cautious owner added an oil-pressure gauge. Norton Villiers Triumph gauges mark the T160 as the last of its breed. Finding no redline The new Speed Triple is the nearest descendent of the T160. Its three-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine shares literally nothing with the original Trident save its cylinder configuration, but the snarling exhaust note still differentiates it from everything else on the street. The Speed Triple barks to life with a low, guttural note and, like the rest of the modern bikes in this review, it's a snappy revver that's immediately ready to go. Quicker chassis geometry makes it steer lightly and sweetly at low speeds, and it remains confidently neutral when you start pushing the pace. Most everything is right on this motorcycle, from the seating position to the power characteristics, which offer big low-end torque, a fat midrange and an energetic top-end rush. It's like two or three motors in one, with the first perfect for city traffic and commuting, the second for energetic sport riding and the third for all-out track duty. Emitting a glorious siren's call, it also requires less shifting and provides an easier riding experience than any other bike in this group. The Speed Triple is likewise infinitely more enjoyable to ride than its predecessor. The controls all work more lightly and smoothly; the engine, gearbox and brakes are significantly more effective; and your overall sense of control and capability are all vitally increased. But what's not necessarily increased is good looks, because as a package the ancient T160 is far more graceful than the Speed Triple. With its awkward humpback tank and orb-like Mr. Krabs headlights, the Idiot's Guide to Dating might even call the newer bike a double bagger. Fortunately the ergonomics are perfect, balancing between the upright seating position of a standard bike and the wrist-cramping crouch of a sportbike. As such, the Speed Triple is ready for the daily commute, a wheelie session, canyon or track work at any time. Add some saddlebags and it'll take you to Sedona and back just as adequately. Beauty or beast? It matters not when you're on an asphalt ribbon winding into the sky. Here the Speed Triple works brilliantly, compromised only by a sagging fork under heavy braking Beauty or beast? It matters not when you're on an asphalt ribbon winding into the sky. Her The fork needs some help, however, as throwing out the anchors results in significant nosedive, upsetting the ride experience whenever vigorous braking is required. But that's the Speed Triple's only real flaw, and if you can shelve your gag reflex over the hooligan headlights and a few other styling issues, this is an absolute winner. Fix the few fairly modest issues and the Speed Triple becomes this group's most enjoyable interpretation of its 1970s superbike ancestry. Verdict: Get one triple to ride, and another to restore.

RALEIGH — Cassandra Deck-Brown was chosen Raleighs police chief only three weeks ago, but people are starting to recognize her, even when shes not in uniform.
On a rainy Saturday last week, Deck-Brown says she was at the grocery store in a pair of blue jeans, a sweatshirt and a rain hat with the bill flipped up when she heard a woman call out, Hey, Chief! The woman explained that her husband thought she was the new chief, but she wasnt sure and decided to ask.
Yes, Deck-Brown answered. I am that lady.
That lady was sworn in during a ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Friday in the Fletcher Opera Theater at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Raleigh. Deck-Brown is the first African-American woman to serve as police chief of North Carolinas Capital City.
Deck-Brown stands a shade over 5 feet tall and is known as a soft-spoken woman. Her predecessor, the gregarious Harry Patrick Dolan, who retired in October, stands about 6-foot-9.
Physically, I am as different from Chief Harry Dolan as one can be in ethnicity, gender and height, she said. We are nearly polar opposites.
Still, she described Dolan as a strong mentor whose vision for the police department was very similar to her own.
Deck-Brown served as a major and deputy chief during Dolans tenure and was part of a team that helped craft the departments five-year plan, including a community policing initiative widely credited with reducing violent crime in the city, particularly Southeast Raleigh.
Deck-Brown said she wants to continue the departments community policing efforts. We have a bridge that has a significant relationship with the community, she said. The question now is, how do we enhance that relationship?
One example is a planned youth development center in the Mini City area for kids without access to educational and recreational activities kids who might otherwise get in trouble. The police and other city partners are working on the design of the 2,000-square-foot center, which Deck-Brown said could eventually host after-school and enrichment programs in tandem with parks and recreation. She also sees the center housing English as a Second Language classes and mentoring programs.
I think the opportunities are vast, Deck-Brown said. It affords us the opportunity to be creative and think outside the box.
Deck-Brown credited much of the police departments success in recent years to the Community Oriented Government initiative that began in early 2009 in the College Park and South Park neighborhoods, where deadly youth violence was prevalent.
Deck-Brown said a number of city departments, including the parks and recreation, solid waste and public utilities, are COG partners who work with community leaders to solve neighborhood problems and prevent crime from taking root.
Two years ago, city officials decided to expand the COG initiative throughout the city.
The new chief said shes very concerned by the spike in deadly violence in recent months that has resulted in children not old enough to drive being charged with murder.
It should be a concern for the community as well, she said. But its only a small percentage of our youths. That should be known as well.
Deck-Brown has been with the Raleigh Police Department since entering the citys academy in 1987. She is the first chief chosen from within the department since 1994 when Mitchell Brown, her brother in-law, was promoted to chief.
She said while working as a very young detective with the departments assault and sexual assault squad, she learned an important lesson. She was working a sexual assault case and decided early on that she had identified the person who committed the crime.
A seasoned detective advised me to take a look at everything before me, she said. Some things were not obvious. It turned out not to be the person I believed was the suspect. I had to allow the case to evolve and follow all the leads.
The front end in some things is often not how things will end. You need to know that as an officer, and in life, too.

Walks Help Sox Slam Twins
by, 03-04-2012 at 03:58 PM (966 Views)
When the Twins opened up Target Field in April of 2010, they played host to the Boston Red Sox. This afternoon, the Twins sent a split-squad team across Ft. Myers to play against the Red Sox in the first game in the new jetBlue Park at Fenway South. The near-Fenway clone is a beautiful park, and Twins fans should be excited about it because the Twins also are getting money for renovations and improvements to Hammond Stadium.
The Twins won their inaugural Target Field game 5-2. The Red Sox won their inaugural jetBlue game by a score of 8-2.
It was actually a really good game much of the way. The Twins scored a run in the top of the 7th to tie the game at two apiece.
Minor League Free Agent Jason Bulger came into the game for the Twins in the bottom of the 7th and it didnt go so well. He recorded just one out. He walked four batters, and then he threw a strike to Lars Anderson who drilled a long, grand slam to right field. Daryl Thompson came in and got the final two outs of the 7th frame. He gave up one run in the 8th as well.
Francisco Liriano started, and although he walked the first batter he faced, he threw two scoreless innings. Jared Burton, another minor league free agent with a chance to make the roster, pitched a 1-2-3 third inning. Phil Dumatrait gave up two runs (just one earned) on two hits and a walk in his inning. Esmerling Vasquez gave up two hits, but no runs, in his inning. Kyle Waldrop pitched a scoreless inning as well.
Ben Revere went 2-4 with a walk and a stolen base for the Twins. Ray Chang was 1-1 with two walks. He had a great diving play on a ground ball up the middle. The scary part of the game came when he was hit in the head on a slide into second base and immediately left the game. Later it was reported that he is now day-to-day.
On the other side, Tsuyoshi Nishioka went 0-5. It is the Twins first loss of the Grapefruit League.
(Note This game will air on MLB Network at 7:00 central time tonight. Monday nights game against the Red Sox game will air on Fox Sports North at 6:00.

Students flocking to city's university
7:20am Monday 7th January 2013 in News By Sarah Davies
STUDENTS are flocking to study in the Faithful City as the University of Worcester bucks the national trend for applications.
Nationally, interim figures from UCAS have revealed that the number of people applying to study at university has fallen for the second year running, amid a continuing backlash over fees of up to £9,000-a-year.
However, more than 8,000 people have applied to study at the University of Worcester in 2013/14 – a seven per cent rise on this time last year.
The numbers also represent a 10 per cent increase in applications on the equivalent date two years ago, which was a record year nationally and for the university.
Professor David Green, University of Worcester vice chancellor, encouraged young people in the two counties to consider a university education after a fall in applications from local students.
He said: "We are delighted that more people than ever before are applying to study at the University of Worcester. We offer very high quality higher education, and our graduates have an excellent record in securing employment.
"We do have concerns that last year the number of applications by people living in Herefordshire and Worcestershire to study at all universities fell by more than 2,500. We do not wish to see a repeat of that this year.
"Going to university is a very good investment for able and motivated people, and all the evidence shows that university graduates not only earn more, but also live happier and healthier lives.
"It is very much in the interests of society as a whole to have a more well-educated population, after all, graduates make up much of the backbone of the country's social and economic development."
According to UCAS, demand for higher education is down by 6.3 per cent or about 18,000 applications.
About 265,000 British students had applied for university places by mid-December, representing the lowest number since the data was first collated in 2008/9.
In total, numbers are down by more than 41,000 -13 per cent -compared with two years ago before the introduction of the new student finance regime.

After beating Phoenix on Sunday, it's looking like the Mavs will make the playoffs. Probably as the 7 seed. Likely opponents include San Antonio, LA Lakers, Houston, or New Orleans. Who would you rather the Mavs play if you had the choice? Feel free to rank them in order you think the Mavs best matchup with them. Here's mine:
1. Houston - I think this is a Mavs win in 6
2. New Orleans - little playoff experience, but would have to stop CP3
3. San Antonio - Mavs believe they can beat SA. They've done it.
4. LA Lakers - Kobe owns this Mavs team

GLASGOW — Both adults transported to T.J. Samson Community Hospital on Monday after an accident that occurred on Veterans Outer Loop at Walmart were treated and released.
Information was unavailable on the condition of the two juveniles because the Glasgow Police Department does not release the names of juveniles involved in accidents, so the names are not available for requesting information from the hospital.
Andrew B. Tabor, 30, of Summer Shade was driving north on the loop in a 2008 Ford F350 pickup, which was pulling a livestock trailer, and told police the traffic light was green in his favor as he continued through the intersection on the loop at the Walmart driveway and South Beaver Trail, according to the GPD report.
Danielle Martin, 39, of Glasgow told police she was traveling south on the loop in a 2009 Dodge Journey and had a green light as she was turning left into the Walmart drive, according to the report.
The first point of impact was when the pickup and the Journey collided in the intersection, , according to the report, and that hit knocked the engine out of the Journey and into the roadway. After the initial impact, the trailer struck the front end of the third vehicle involved, a 1996 GMC Jimmy, driven by April Isaacs, 29, of Munfordville, who was waiting to turn northbound onto the loop, according to the report.
At the scene, the Journey stopped in a position at the median pointed toward the southbound lanes from which it had just come. The truck and trailer stopped in a jack-knife position just north of the intersection. The Jimmy was still at the edge of the drive.
Tabor and Martin and Martin's juvenile passengers – a male and a female – were transported to T.J. Samson hospital. Isaacs reported no injuries, according the report, which also indicates that all five people involved were wearing seat belts. The two front airbags of the Journey had deployed as well.
A witness stated to police that he had been behind the pickup truck but then as the truck was continuing through the intersection, the witness had gotten into a different lane and was turning right into the Walmart drive; the light was green at the time the two vehicles were in the intersection, the witness said.
In addition GPD and Barren-Metcalfe EMS, Glasgow Fire Department assisted at the accident site.

What would you do if a terrorist attacked or a category five hurricane hit the East Coast? Today, over 100 UVa Medical School students answered that question as they finished Uva's Clinical Connection Disaster Training Course.
Although the situation may have looked real, it was not. Over 100 third year UVa Medical School Students were actually completing a disaster scenario class. The Clinical Connections course gives students the knowledge and skills to help emergency response teams in the event of a mass-casualty disaster.
"The best way to handle situations like that is to be prepared and hope things will go smooth because when something happens it's going to be chaos," said Joseph Baltz, a UVa Med. School Student.
Even though disasters seem to be chaotic, there is a structured way to respond to them. It's called 'The National Incident Response System.'
"We're trying to teach that so [the students] don't just show up at the scene and say, 'I'm here to help,' but they understand the system that they can work in and so they're effective," said Dr. Mark Kirk, a UVa Toxicologist.
Students learned how to wear protective equipment, handle mass immunizations and infectious diseases, and how to transport patients.
However, in a traumatic situation all the equipment in the world can only get you so far. That's why this training course touches on mental health, as well. They said building trust calms fears.
"More people are going to be affected mentally by a disaster than physically," said Baltz.
"Clearly, it's not all just fixing broken bones and cuts, a lot of it deals with the fear, the anxiety, how to communicate with people, how to reassure them [that] things are going to be okay," said Dr. Kirk.
Students say they're now well prepared to help fellow citizens during their time of need. And professors give them an A+.
This is the first year UVa offered this course. Officials said the class was added to the curriculum because after the events of September 11th, medical schools realized they had to prepare the doctors of tomorrow, in case of a worst-case scenario.

A Tahlequah man was in federal court Wednesday to be charged with being a felon in possession of an explosive, according to a media release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The criminal complaint against Jeremy Ramirez, 27, states that on or about April 19, in Cherokee County, Ramirez knowingly possessed an explosive after former conviction of a felony.
Ramirez is alleged to have been injured in an explosion at a Tahlequah residence when he attempted to wire his cellular telephone to a blasting cap. Ramirez is alleged to have possessed the blasting caps after being convicted of a felony.
Ramirez was remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service.

Home Protect University Data Sensitive University Data Sensitive Data Classification
Sensitive Data Classification
Data are some of the most valuable assets of U-M, and they need to be protected accordingly to prevent theft, compromise, or inappropriate use. The level of protection is mostly driven by legal, academic, financial, and operational requirements, and is based on the criticality and risk levels of the data. Protecting data assets while supporting U-M's academic, administrative, research, and clinical missions that require collaboration and open sharing of knowledge—often across the world—can be a difficult balancing act. The University of Michigan takes seriously its commitment to protect the privacy of its students, faculty, and staff as well as to protect the security of information critical to U-M's core missions.
One of the most important steps in protecting data appropriately is to determine and assign classification levels to U-M's most important data classes. Data classification provides a framework for managing university-owned or institutional data assets based on value and associated risks. Several U-M IT policies deal specifically with defining sensitive institutional data and the requirements for handling such data.
U-M Data Classifications
Not all data are the same. Some data require higher level of management and protection. The three university data classifications as defined in SPG 601.12 – Institutional Data Resource Management Policy are:
Sensitive data is assigned a high level of protection. Therefore, any information assets (information systems, computers) that store or process sensitive data are also assigned a high level of protection. Certain categories of sensitive data may require additional considerations due to regulatory or other requirements.
Examples of public data include: U-M designated directory information, information available on U-M websites if accessible without UMID, and campus maps.
Note: This Quick Reference Sheet is designed as a handout for staff who handle student, employee, customer, and patient information. It provides a summary of best practices for handling different categories of sensitive data as well as information regarding where to seek additional assistance.
See also Data Stewardship at U-M for information about how ownership of different data types is structured and organized, and for a list of campus stewards and managers who are ultimately responsible for data classification determinations.
Staff who handle sensitive university data should use the Sensitive Data Guide to make informed decisions about where to safely store and share sensitive data using IT services available on the UM-Ann Arbor campus. The Guide deals specifically with sensitive regulated data, that is, information that is subject to federal or state regulatory compliance.
The table below has one column for the different roles of individuals at U-M and another for types of sensitive data. The Role at U-M column links to sensitive data types or elements typically associated with specific roles or populations on campus as well as guidance about responsibility for protecting such data.The Sensitive Data Types column contains links which identify and define the category and list common data elements typically associated with each type.

Global Perspectives
The teacher and other school personnel can foster learning in technology-rich environments that encourage learner participation in the worldwide web of information proliferation to nurture a global perspective and a sense of connectedness with the international community.
- Teacher candidates are expected to know and exhibit dispositions which demonstrate recognition that global perspective is an understanding of the interdependency of nations and peoples and the political, economic, ecological, and social concepts and values that affect lives within and across national boundaries. It allows for the exploration of multiple perspectives on events and issues.
- Teacher candidates know and understand that global perspective can be greatly enhanced via technology-rich curricula.
- Teacher candidates understand that the Internet is truly a global phenomenon and utilizing appropriate technologies that reflect best practices in education, the Unit prepares teacher candidates and teachers to function in a future characterized by the demands of a technology-driven evolution of global knowledge.
- Teacher candidates understand that there is one-world, a world that is linked instantly through telecommunication.
- Preservice/inservice teachers can create products that link conceptual frameworks, data, graphic organizers, lesson plans, text, and video, and this emphasis is consistent with the nation's realization of the emerging global village in which we live.
- Candidates are able to conceptualize three categories of global mindedness that K-12 students should know: Global Challenges, Culture and World Areas, and Global Connections.
- Candidates understand that the difference global educators make in the lives of students include the development of open mindedness, anticipation of complexity, resistance to stereotyping, as well as acquire skills in cross- cultural communication that enables an understanding of global inequities.
- Candidates appreciate that a global perspective contributes to world peace and democracy through enhanced personal understanding, partnerships, and friendships.
- Candidates appreciate that a global perspective contributes to economic development by establishing contacts with business and industry, government and other organizations around the world as potential revenue-producing partners.

Don't Code for Linux
The days of developing applications for a single platform are history. Why? Because every platform offers at least one key benefit that cannot be attained on any other; Windows, Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X, embedded Linux and others each offer unique advantages. But given changing market conditions, it's impossible to predict which platform will give you the competitive edge you need.
Our anwser is: why pick? We feel that developers can and should leverage all the best qualities of each platform by embracing multiplatform development. This is true not only on the desktop, but also on the server, the network, mobile devices and every other tool that connects us. Our increasingly mobile working style demands portable data and portable applications to match today's distributed networks and global organizations.
Organizations that want to compete and survive must recognize a fragmented OS environment as a given, and they must respond by developing applications that run quickly, cleanly and natively on the greatest number of platforms possible. Applications written in this way take advantage of the best features each platform has to offer, without having to be written and rewritten for every instance. This process limits your company and represents a colossal waste of time. Forward-looking companies already recognize that single-platform development is destined to fail, and they have embraced a better way. Here's why we think this report on the death of single-platform development is not exaggerated.
If you wish to develop for more than one platform, thus expanding your target market, your costs rise dramatically. You need a full team to develop for each platform. Perhaps more importantly, you need a full team to maintain and support each platform. This represents a linear increase in cost for each platform—an extremely inefficient way to do business.
Developing applications for one platform increases your risk because you have to choose among markets before their potential is clear. Who's to say you'll be right? Software companies have been made or broken by this choice. In the recent past, people said Windows (with its momentum and market dominance) was the obvious choice—but wait! Linux has proven itself as a serious competitor in the server space and is picking up serious momentum on the desktop and in the embedded space. World-class consumer and enterprise companies are embracing its power, flexibility, security and low cost. So, what used to be an obvious platform decision isn't so obvious anymore. Do you know when (or where) this kind of rapid transformation will happen again? I don't.
Perhaps most importantly, if you limit development to a single desktop or server platform, you immediately restrict your access to the fastest-growing software market in the world: mobile systems. If, for example, you write an application for Microsoft Windows NT/2000, you automatically eliminate any cost-effective way to run your application on a mobile device, because you have to rewrite the source. Given that it's nearly essential to make applications mobile, developing applications on a single desktop/server platform can be a death sentence for that application even before it's finished.
The software industry has struggled for some time to develop commercially viable strategies for multiplatform development, and its history is littered with companies that have tried to do this, and failed. Why?
One difficulty has been a lack of complete functionality. Many toolkits deliver only subsets of functionality on multiple platforms, not the whole set. Another problem has been reliance on emulation or virtual machines. Both of these impose a significant and usually unacceptable performance penalty, especially for mobile devices that need high performance the most.
It's a well-recognized fact that differences between virtual machines lead to implementation workarounds and tweaks, as well as increased maintenance. This is another expense, and it makes the developers who have to do this work miserable.
Today, though, proven ways exist to write an application once, compile and run it anywhere. Companies who do multiplatform development create an environment in which development innovation will once again be the order of the day—not the exception.
Haavard Nord, cofounder and CEO of Trolltech, started his programming career trying to find acceptable multiplatform toolkits for database development. He now drives Trolltech's efforts in single-source, multiplatform software development. The company's products encourage innovation by letting developers write single-source applications that run natively on Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X and embedded Linux.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Restaurants that refuse to provide customers with individual checks are rendering a disservice, if you believe the results of an informal survey.
I witnessed a recent exchange in a restaurant — four people trying to figure out what they owed on a single bill — that nearly turned ugly. It's hardly a customer-friendly way to do business.
"That's just the way it is," the owner of a once-popular Pine Avenue explained the first time I went there for a business lunch with three other persons.
That policy, many people agree, is a recipe for an unpleasant dining experience.
For starters, there's sometimes the guy ordering margaritas and appetizers while the others are content with coffee and soft drinks. He also selects the higher-priced menu items instead of just a sandwich or salad like his luncheon companions. And, of course, when the bill comes, he issues an edict: "The best way to handle this, folks, is just split it even, all the way around."
Question: Why should the others at the table subsidize the last of the big spenders?
Then there's the sneaky one — amidst all the chirping over who owes what — whipping out a pocket calculator that only adds to confusion and doubt. He could be cheating, of course, because no one else at the table is going to call for a review, like a football coach on the sidelines. (It should be noted that women also are often involved in such a brouhaha.)
Some other reaction from people who for obvious reasons prefer anonymity:
• "It just irks me because I don't drink and I don't eat a lot, so why should I end up paying for someone else?"
• "I find myself always getting stuck when the bill is split evenly since I usually have just one drink and some of my friends can easily put away three of four."
• "Separate checks unless it's something like pizza that we're all going to share. Then we split the bill equally."
• "You didn't drink their booze. Why should you pay for it?"
• "My husband and I have seen too many times where people splitting a bill fail to leave a sufficient tip. It's embarrassing and unfair to the waitress."
COMMUNITY-MINDED: Minot H. Ortolani, 83, who died Friday in Williamsville, was involved with numerous civic endeavors including his service with the Niagara Falls-based regional state park commission. Ortolani was a respected voice on the seven-member board, eager to suggest ways to help improve the nation's oldest state park for the millions of annual visitors.
Ortolani also spent 16 years as the executive director of the Buffalo Zoo. During his administration, the 22-acre Delaware Park attraction underwent some $10 million in improvements.Those projects included a gorilla habitat, the outdoor lion and tiger exhibits, and building the Parkside gate entrance to the facility.
He earned a master's degree in finance from Rutger's Graduate School of Banking and was employed by the M&T Bank from 1957 to 1979. He retired as a lieutenant commander from the Navy Reserve in 1989 after 38 years of service.
••• 'LOCATION, LOCATION': A caller to a radio talk show the other day asked why those "Deer Crossing" signs are along the Robert Moses Parkway, especially close to populated areas. "You would think they'd encourage the deer to cross out in the country and in those rural places," the caller added. Perhaps the deer just can't read.
ON THE ROAD: A friend driving on 1-35 in Texas spotted this sign reportedly placed there by a private donor: "Thanks, TEAM USA, from a grateful nation!" Turns out it was a reference to the Navy Seals who took out Osama bin Laden at his hideout in Pakistan.
ON SAME PAGE: Overheard at Gadawski's Restaurant, Falls Street: "I went to that 7-Eleven store and asked for a two-by-four and a box of three-by-fives and the clerk said, 'Ten-Four' ."Contact reporter Don Glynn at 282-2311, ext. 2246

The defense team maintains that Kennedy, a member of the famous family, took a prescribed sleeping pill accidentally, mistaking it for her thyroid medication before she left her Bedford home and headed to the gym on the morning of July 13, 2012. No one was injured in the crash.
"During opening statements, Assistant District Attorney Stefanie DeNise said that even if Kennedy, 54, had taken the sleep aid unintentionally, she had a responsibility to pull her Lexus SUV off the road safely when she began to feel its effects," Allie Molloy and Lena Jakobsson write in this CNN story. "[Defense attorney Gerald] Lefcourt disputed that argument, saying Kennedy had no time to react. 'The zolpidem kicks in, it shuts her down, she's in a state of 'sleep driving,'' he said."
As the case continues in White Plains, folks across the area are weighing in. Patch asked Facebook users about the "sleep-driving defense." Here are a few of the responses:
- "What a waste of time and money in this case .. Thankfully nobody got hurt," - Maureen Walsh Carlucci on the Nyack-Piermont Patch Facebook page
- "Typical Kennedy sense of entitlement arrogance," - Jay Morgenthal on the Southeast-Brewster Patch Facebook Page
- "I guess it's better than afluenza," - Neil Denaut on the Southeast-Brewster Patch Facebook Page
- "She can say anything she wants. I blame it on the time that she was married to Andy Cuomo," - Wendy Mierbeth on the New City Patch Facebook page)
- "Not buying it," - Esther Hillner Wagner (on the Pleasantville-Briarcliff Page Facebook page)
- "Well, since her 'seizure' excuse didn't work (because she didn't have a seizure), she's trying something new. I think it's deplorable that Kennedy feels it's OK for her to operate an automobile under the influence of a drug because she did it accidentally and she was too doped up to know how doped up she was. How many drunks could use the same excuse that they were too drunk to know how drunk they were? Kennedy needs to accept responsibility for what she did (driving for miles impaired after sideswiping a truck) and accept the license suspension. No more special treatment!" - Lola LaValle on the Rye Patch Facebook page

Five Places to Pick Up Some Munchies
By Sara Ventiera
Some food items elicit intense reactions. New Yorkers trash any pizza from anywhere outside of their dear city limits. Chicagoans won't eat hot dogs without their traditional toppings. Kansas City residents scoff at any other barbecue.
But good burgers can be found pretty much anywhere. Even though the basics are all the same — bun, meat, and a couple of toppings — the subject of the best burger tends to bring up an intense debate. After all, May is National Burger Month. To celebrate, we've come up with a list of the ten best burgers in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
1. Shake Shack — No, the novelty hasn't worn off. Straight out of Danny Meyer's empire, South Florida's newest fast burger chain is still kind of a big deal. Just like the other locations, the new Boca Raton outpost (1400 Glades Road, Boca Raton) is developing its own cult following. Buttery buns encase juicy patties of Angus beef, bright-green lettuce, and tomatoes. And starting at just $3.85, it's a pretty awesome steal.
2. d.b.a./cafe — They say variety is the spice of life. If that's the case, d.b.a. (2364 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale) is bringing the heat to the burger department. Just like the rest of the menu, burgers are revamped at the start of every month. In April, they were topped with cheddar, maple chipotle sauce, cornmeal-fried jalapeños, and spinach. Past incarnations have included Gorgonzola, crispy shallots, and blackberry aioli. Point being, there's something wrong if you're getting bored.
3. Cafe Boulud — If Daniel Boulud allows anything to be served under his name, you'd better believe it's as close to perfect as it gets. At 301 Australian Ave. in Palm Beach, executive chef Jim Leiken creates a custom blend using specific cuts from the chuck and round combined with short rib. It's the same blend that's used in Leiken's old haunt, DBGB Kitchen and Bar in New York. The ten-ounce burger is then grilled until it gets just the right amount of char. It's served between a locally sourced brioche bun and topped with aged white cheddar, house-made burger sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion, with a pickle spear on the side. The hand-cut fries are cooked Belgian-style — blanched at a low temperature, followed by high-temp frying — tossed in a garlic- and herb-infused butter, and served with either house-made ketchup or a mayo-based "fit saus." Who knew burgers could be so decadent? And so French?
4. Tap 42 — Sometimes when you're drinking a beer, you just need a burger to go along with it. And here, both are specialties. In addition to the awesome selection of craft beers, Tap 42 (1411 S. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale) offers some tasty burger options. Vegetarian? No problem. No red meat? Got you covered. Want some lamb in the mix? Get the Drunken Goat with lamb, beer, tomato jam, bourbon red onions, goat cheese, and Dijon on a brioche bun. And you most certainly cannot go wrong with the house Prohibition burger topped with cheddar, applewood bacon, special sauce, dijon, and LTO. Better yet? Monday evenings, it's only five bucks.
5. Charm City Burgers — If burger places were mobsters, Charm City (1136 E. Hillsboro Blvd., Deerfield Beach) would be the godfather. The place frequently racks up awards for its perfect, inventive, and superinexpensive burgers. The Good Ole Burger, with or without cheese, starts at just $5.25. Volcano Style with pepper jack cheese, volcano sauce, and jalapeño rings in at just $6.50. Want to go all-out? The Emperor with Kobe beef patty, sautéed mushrooms, aged Gruyère, and truffled aioli comes out to a mere $10.95. But you can add some foie gras for another 12 bucks. Overall, the place is ridiculous.
6. Chimney House — Burgers wouldn't necessarily be the first thought to pop into your head when you're thinking Latin food. But maybe you should. On top of its well-priced, home-cooked Latin food, Chimney House (701 W. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale) makes a pretty amazing burger to boot. Certified Angus beef is topped with white cheese, caramelized onions, and a fried egg. Fries and Huancaína sauce on the side keep in line with the spot's signature Latin flair. You can't beat a protein-filled burger like this for a mere ten bucks.
7. 3rd & 3rd — Situated just off Pineapple Grove, 3rd & 3rd (301 NE Third Ave., Delray Beach) serves some pretty amazing food in a laid-back environment. The spot feels like you're visiting your fun-loving, stuck-in-college, beer-drinking friend's house — and he just happens to be an amazing chef. And your friend's burger is to die for: seared beef patty on a brioche with your choice of cheese and a side of balsamic red onion jam. The atmosphere is so chill, you're not going to mind when that burger juice trickles down your chin.
8. Tarpon Bend — Another local institution, Tarpon Bend (200 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale) has been taking care of downtown office crowds and frat boys for nearly 15 years now. That's probably a record for the always-changing environment of Himmarshee Street. And, well, there's a reason. In addition to its numerous drink specials, Tarpon churns out a delicious burger. And those skinny fries most certainly help. Check it out on a Monday: The spot offers $5 cheeseburgers with purchase of a beverage.
Surprised not seeing Jack's in the top five
Ok, so someone who has proven to know nothing about anything is ranking hamburgers with equal incompetence. Heaven help us.
Shake shack isn't even in the conversation.
There's nothing that brings out the food idiots more than a thread about Burgers or Subs.
OMG Love Shake Shack!!!!
I don't care how good the quaility of the meat is at Shake Shack if they won't make it medium rare I'm not interested. I tried to order it that way yesterday and they told me that they don't do that. I have no reason to go back. I will just keep driving dowwn to Charm City and eat a juicy burger every time.
Can't forget Jack's Old Fashioned on Federal Highway in Oakland Park and off of Cypress/18th in Pompano. They make some delicious, old-fashioned, greasy burgers there. Always a treat!

- Studio: Weinstein Company, The
- Release Date: Dec 18, 2009
- Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz
- Summary: Nine is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife, his mistress, his film star muse, his confidant and costume designer, a young American fashion journalist, the whore from his youth and his mother.

Score distribution:
Positive: 10 out of 33
Mixed: 17 out of 33
Negative: 6 out of 33
Though slightly marred by a clunky structure and a lack of truly catchy tunes, Nine's wall-to-wall first-rate performances from its stellar cast (especially Cotillard) add a touch of class.
Despite following its stage inspiration and bringing structure to Fellini's "8 1/2" (the ultimate source material), Nine still suffers at times from a lack of narrative drive and it doesn't have the surreal, dreamlike quality of "8 1/2" to fall back upon.
It seems perverse to say a musical is at its best when nobody is singing, but Nine is a perverse kind of musical.
We'd all like to live in an Italian movie. So says a character in Nine, and it's probably the best line in this musical misfire.
Eventually, the inconsistency wears, and the film provokes mostly indifference and restlessness.
It's a film within a film about a film within a film, and seems to lose layers of authenticity with each iteration, finally becoming a profoundly alienating experience.

Jan 24, 2013Academy Award nominated for Best Supporting Actress I resent the fact that this movie would have negative reviews from fans.
Feb 3, 2013Daniel Day-Lewis is most definitely not in his best form; but Marion Cotillard,who steals the show, and help from the other women in this cast make this musical a triumph. Although not a single song is really entertaining enough to keep you engaged the whole time. I give this film 76%.… Expand
Sep 28, 2010A film's stylistic vision is perhaps the aspect of film that I most personally adore. But although a film may employ all of the chic characteristics possible, it is completely futile if it possesses a lack of plot. Unfortunately, this is ultimately the importune description of Rob Marshall's(Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha) Nine.
Nine is a story of a director, Guido Contini (Daniel Day Lewis), that finds himself in a creative rut and endless romantic quandaries. So in facile terminology, the film is a story solely about writer's block. Though I was doubtful of the mundane premise, I was positive that the music and art direction of the film would compensate for it. While I was somewhat satisfied with the musical numbers- particularly Marion Cotillard's Take It All- it did not possess enough meaning to have any sort of relative significance when watching the film.
Before exemplifying the logic of my criticism, I must compliment the brilliance of the art direction within Nine. The choreography of the film is just mesmerizing as Fergie and her company effortlessly implement images of sand combined with dance. Also, the transition between gray scale and color in Kate Hudson's number was just simply creative in the way it depicted modernness versus antiquity. Penelope Cruz does execute an adequate performance, but having only a small portion on screen, I find myself confused of her Best Actress nomination. The true star of the film is Marion Cotillard, the subtle but complex manner of her performances is perhaps the highlight of the film. If you enjoyed her performance in french biopic La Vie En Rose, you will undoubtedly find satisfaction in this portion of the film.
Here is the characteristic of the film that makes all of the above compliments ineffective: the numbers are stringed in immensely vague manner. Many of the performances occur abruptly, with hardly no lead-in or relevance to the plot. What it comes down to is that Nine resembles MTV prior to the 2000s decade. It is just a series of music videos that only slightly are relevant towards each other. The plot is so weak, that it cannot support the brilliance of the art direction. It is hard to enjoy the sequences if they hardly have any sense. This leads me to question, who wants to watch a film about writer's block? Additionally, it does not help if the lyrics are so meaningless and simple (one of the chorus lines is "my husband makes movies").
If you are solely watching Nine for the musical performances, then it will fulfill that desire. But overall, Nine is not as a whole a good film. There is no memorable plot, which ultimately makes the music hollow and meaningless. Nine is an impressive sequence of music numbers, not an overall splendid film.… Expand
Aug 22, 2010I thought "Chicago" was brilliant and enjoyable, but with a story so thin that it evaporated from one's mind before one got home from the theater. By contrast, "Nine" has some brilliant and enjoyable song-and-dance performances, but virtually no story at all! To me, it's a waste of a lot of excellent actors, but people who are deeply appreciative of song-and-dance efforts might find it worthwhile.… Expand

On August 8-9 Hudson Valley Hospital Center will be participating in Woman Fest, a two-day festival in celebration of women organized by HG Fairfield Arts Center for the Environment. It is not a coincidence that the Hospital has decided to be a part of this day because when you think about healthcare, you can't help but connect it to women. Women tend to be caregivers and nurturers and thus gravitate to the healing professions. We have so many amazing women here at Hudson Valley Hospital Center that we could have a Woman Fest of our own celebrating all that they do for their colleagues and their patients.
Here are in my mind just a few that should be celebrated:
OB-GYN Dr. Meedlen Charles spent five years in Afghanistan. In July 2005 Dr. Charles joined the Army and served as active duty military physician at Ft Riley, KS. In 2007 she was deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. After returning from Afghanistan in 2008 she was appointed Chief of the OB/GYN department at Irwin Army Community Hospital in Ft Riley, KS. Dr. Charles still serves in the reserves. She will be at Woman Fest on Friday, August 9 to talk about her experiences and all the meaningful work she does treating women in her practice.
Dr. Charles' colleague Joanne Mazzio, CNM, NP, MS, is another amazing woman who has dedicated her life to caring for women. After serving her home community of the Bronx as a public health nurse, she went on to work at Westchester Medical Center's high risk maternity unit to gain the experience and skills that would serve as a foundation for her career as a midwife For the past 16 years she has served this community, following a personalized and holistic model of care. She has worked with women, their mothers, daughters and friends; touching the lives of many in the Hudson Valley. She will be at Woman Fest Thursday and Friday, talking to women about their health concerns.
Also attending Woman Fest on Friday, is a newcomer to Hudson Valley Hospital Center, Dr. Maddalena Duarte. Dr. Duarte comes to us from Yale New Haven Hospital where she did her fellowship on breast and body imaging. Dr .Duarte conducted research on the latest screening techniques including tomosynthesis or 3-D mammography, which is now available at HVHC and has given radiologists like Dr. Duarte additional tools to detect breast cancer earlier.
I hope everyone will attend this special two day festival, dedicated to the lives and concerns of women and meet some of the amazing women on staff at HVHC. Look for us at the Women's Health tent.

Troops deployed to the Middle East often face hot temperatures of 130 degrees and higher, but Kimberly Stewart's Family and Consumer Science class is doing their best to help keep the soldiers cool.
Stewart's class, at Greenville High School and supported by the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), is doing this by creating cool scarves, which the soldiers wear like a tie around their necks, giving them the feeling of a cool, wet cloth on the back of their necks.
A cool scarf is a strip of cotton woven fabric filled with nontoxic polyacrylamide granules (crystals) concealed in the casing of the scarf.
When soaked in water for 15 to 30 minutes the granules absorb the water, up to 400 times its weight, expand and turn into a crystalline gel.
The cotton fabric absorbs water from the gel and then the water evaporates for a cooling effect.
The scarves stay cool and moist for hours due to the polyacrylamide's water-retaining properties and when they're allowed to dry, the gel returns to crystal form.
The class has already shipped of the scarves, along with handwritten notes of thanks and other goodies, to the soldiers in an effort for them to receive them by Valentine's Day.
Abby Martens, who was in Family and Consumer Science class last year, brought the pattern to Stewart.
"My aunt found the pattern for my grandmother," said Martens. "She's home by herself a lot and my aunt thought this was something she might enjoy doing. She thought I could help her because it's a really simple pattern."
While the scarves help the students further their skills, it's more of a community service/pay it forward project.
"I know it's an unconventional Valentine's Day gift," said Stewart. "But if it works, and we know it will, then it will be a 'cool' gift, indeed."
