WATERVILLE, Maine --- Dom Morrill (South Thomaston, Maine) pitched seven strong innings to earn the win in his final collegiate game and reliever Abhi Chandel (Columbus, N.J.) did not allow a hit in the final two innings to pick up the save as the Colby College baseball team ended the season with a 5-4 victory over playoff-bound Bowdoin College on Friday at Coombs Field.
The Mules end the season at 14-20 overall and 1-11 in the NESCAC East, while Bowdoin falls to 20-12 overall and 8-4 in league play. The Polar Bears will play in the NESCAC playoffs next Friday to Sunday (May 13-15) at American International College (Amherst College hosting).
After Bowdoin took a 4-3 lead with a pair of runs in the top of the seventh inning, Colby went up against three pitchers in the bottom of the frame. Polar Bear starter Oliver Van Zant (Westport, Conn.) hit Nikolas Atsalis (West Hyannis Port, Mass.) to lead off the seventh and was relieved by Evan Farley (Hampden, Maine). Nate Ellis (Milton, Mass.) greeted him with a single and then Brendan Gallagher (Dublin, N.H.) sacrificed the runners over to second and third. Atsalis scored on an RBI groundout by Robb Arndt (Yarmouth, Maine) and Ellis came in with the eventual game-winning run on a wild pitch. Jay Loughlin entered the game for Bowdoin and was able to retire the next batter.
The Polar Bears scored the first run of the game after Matt Ruane (Belmont, Mass.) singled to start the second inning and then stole second base. After an out, Joe Comizio (Vienna, Va.) smacked an RBI double.
The Mules went up 3-1 with three runs in the third. Taro Gold (Belmont, Mass.) singled to lead off the inning and moved to second on a walk to Brandon NIeuw (Port Chester, N.Y.). Both runners moved up on a groundout and that brought up Ellis, who had a two-run double to give Colby the lead. Gallagher followed with an RBI single to bring in Ellis.
Bowdoin cut the lead to one run with a lone score in the fourth inning. Brett Gorman (Bedford, N.Y.) led off with a double and later scored on a Colby error.
The Polar Bears took the lead in the seventh inning when Adam Marquit (New York, N.Y.) was hit by a pitch with one out. The Mules were able to get the second out of the inning on a fly to right field, but John Lefeber (Branford, Conn.) ripped a two-run homer run for a 4-3 Polar Bear lead.
Morrill had his best outing of the season, striking out seven and walking none. Chandel allowed just one walk to start the eighth inning, but quickly got the runner out on a fielder's choice.
Van Zant had six strikeouts in six-plus innings of work for the Polar Bears.
Ellis had the big two-run double, a single, a walk, and scored twice for the Mules. Schroeder added a pair of hits, while Gallagher had one hit, a walk, and a sacrifice.
Colby 5, Bowdoin 4
Bowdoin 010#100#200—4#7#0

A local school remembers the student taken by a sudden and short illness">
August 1, 2014
Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
September 19 - A local school and community are mourning a team tragedy. 14 year old Emily Rocha passed away last weekend after a sudden and short illness. Now her friends from Mulvane High School are remembering the girl who helped them along the way. Emily died on Sunday, just 2 weeks after learning she had Leukemia. She managed the football team at Mulvane High where she was a freshman.
Loved ones remember Emily's dedication to school. She was on the honor roll, Student Council President and sang in the choir. Family and friends were just as important to her. Emily's parents and 3 sisters say she had an easy going attitude and was somebody who always saw the good in others. This Friday's football game at Mulvane will be especially difficult for Emily's friends. Players will wear heart shaped stickers on their helmets as the game is dedicated to Emily's memory. Emily's funeral was held Wednesday morning at the First Baptist Church in Mulvane. Her friends on the high school football team served as her pall bearers.

The Giants were happy that defensive coordinator Perry Fewell was receiving what they believed to be well-deserved head-coaching interviews, but they are far more happy that he'll be back coaching the defense in 2011. Although some criticized Fewell's stop unit down the stretch when the Giants allowed 38 and 45 points, respectively, to the Eagles and Packers, it was clear that offensive turnovers also played a big role in the two losses. There's a lot to like about this defense's potential next season and it's easy to forget how far the group, which had much of the same personnel in 2009, had fallen before Fewell arrived. He was aggressive with his calls and got the most out of every level of the defense, except perhaps linebacker, which will be a position the team will look to upgrade this offseason.

"candy you ate as a kid"

Until I was 10 we lived in a big city, I had lots of friends, and every summer we shopped from the JC Penney and Sears catalog for our new school clothes. In 1972 my parents bought a farm and we moved to the country.. in a very small community. We moved in May, so I had very little time to make new friends before summer vacation, and living 10 miles from town, an even smaller chance of making them during summer vacation. No more shopping from catalogs, most of our clothes now came from second-hand stores. My parents were doing everything they could to make the farm successful.
My income came from babysitting, and it was pretty small. I have always had a sweet-tooth, so every Friday when Mom went shopping, I would tag along with just a few dollars in hand. I could always afford the Lemonheads, and thank goodness because I loved them.
I would come home from the store, get my chores done and sneak off to my sanctuary, the barn, with my treats. I would lay up in the hay and watch all the pigeons, and listen to the barn swallows. Usually a few of the 20 or so cats we had would join me. I would read the afternoon away. It was so peaceful, and what I thought was going to be a very rough and lonely summer actually passed by pretty quickly. I adapted just fine the next school year, made lots of friends. But every summer I still spent my time in the barn, reading, enjoying the solitude, and always with Lemonheads in hand.
Today I always have a bag of them in my nightstand. They still represent a peaceful memory for me. ~ Sally from Iowa

Morning breakfast: cereal and milk grains and dairy produced by Washington farmers. Lunch: split pea soup, salad and apple slices dry peas, lettuce greens and apples grown in Washington. Dinner hamburger or lentil burger, baked potato, carrots and blueberry cobbler beef, lentils, potatoes, carrots, blueberries and wheat all raised by Washington farmers and ranchers.
Tuesday is National Ag Day, a day to reflect on where our food comes from and to honor those who work hard to ensure we have plenty to eat. Generations nourishing generations is the theme for this year's Ag Day.
Our nations farmers and ranchers work hard to provide food and clothing for our country and the world. Their dedication is an inspiration to us and to the next generation of farmers and ranchers. Without them, we would not have the abundant food supply, the fiber and the fuel we depend on daily.
Lets thank Washingtons farmers and ranchers for a job well done. Agriculture is Americas No. 1 export, and critical to sustaining a healthy economy. In our state alone, it employs 160,000 people and contributes $46 billion, or 13 percent, to the state economy. The state ranks first in the U.S. for production of eleven commodities, including apples, sweet cherries, pears, red raspberries and hops.
Washington has 39,500 farms dedicated to agricultural production. Raising about 300 commodities, the states agriculture is the second most diverse in the nation. Some of our major agricultural products are milk, wheat, potatoes and hay.
According to recent USDA studies, the agricultural sector right now remains a bright spot in terms of economic stability and growth, and there is a strong demand for U.S. agricultural products.
Agricultural producers in Washington are getting up early every day to keep this sector of the economy healthy, providing jobs and income for rural and urban families and communities.
In 1960, each U.S. farmer provided food for about 25 people. Today, each U.S. farmer feeds more than 144 people, an increase of more than 500 percent. Research and new technologies have boosted production, but someone still has to go outdoors and make things grow.
Without regard for the wind, rain, snow, freeze, fire and drought, the farmer and the rancher can be found tending the crops, flock or herd, and doing it well.
Even with natures uncertainty, American farmers and ranchers still have prevailed to get the food and fuel to market.
Its easy to take agriculture for granted in America. Our food is readily accessible and safe. For this, were unbelievably fortunate, but that doesn't mean we don't have an obligation to recognize who makes it possible.
This National Ag Day is a good time to reflect and be grateful for American agriculture!
To find more Ag Day information and events, visit the sponsoring Agricultural Council of American at www.agday.org. Judy Olson is state executive director for the USDA Farm Service Agency.

Yet, rather than expanding the Army, the QDR actually calls for reducing it to its pre-2001 level of 480,000 people.The Pentagon's civilian leadership tries to disguise this reduction by noting that it will be increasing the number of special forces by 15 percent, or 7,800 people; the number of troops assigned to psychological warfare and civil affairs units by one-third, or 3,700 people; and the number of combat brigades from 33 to 42. While all the steps are necessary, they are not sufficient.
If the number of soldiers is reduced, the troops will not get to spend sufficient time at home before being sent back to the combat zone, and the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve will continue to be overused. To put it bluntly, in this long war there's no substitute for boots on the ground. And in a counterinsurgency campaign, numbers are as important as capabilities. Our efforts in Iraq continue to suffer from the failure to put enough troops on the ground following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
But the real reason the Pentagon resists adding troops is that it would cost money, and in this budget-constrained environment, adding troops to the Army would force the Pentagon to cancel cherished programs such as the F/A 22 or the DD(X) destroyer, which deal with threats from a bygone era, and slow down the deployment of the untested National Missile Defense system and reduce the number of unnecessary strategic nuclear weapons significantly.But the QDR did not cancel a single weapons system or reduce the number of strategic weapons. In the fiscal 2007 defense budget, funding for these new weapons increased by more than $6 billion, and spending on nuclear forces will be close to $20 billion.
[W]e probably don't need as much of the technology as we presently have. For instance, we probably need fewer fighter wings, fewer bomber wings and a smaller navy than we presently have … less of the big ticket items which are so costly to build and maintain.
Since every 10,000 troops added to the Army would cost about $1.5 billion, the QDR proposal for increasing the size of the special forces and psychological warfare and civil affairs units, and keeping the Army end strength at its current level of 490,000 troops, would add some $3 billion to the Army budget. But even these increases are not enough.
First, of course, we're going to need a bigger Special Operations Force. That includes all services, but primarily Army. It's where the bulk of the SOF forces now lay and it is also where the bulk of the unconventional experience is as well. We're looking at perhaps double the size of the force we now have.
The special operations and psychological warfare and civil affairs forces should be doubled, and two peacekeeping and stabilization divisions should be added, bringing the Army end strength to 575,000. This size Army would come at an annual additional cost of $11 billion, money that can easily be found in the procurement account.
The Pentagon is right that this will be a long war. But if the Army, which does the vast majority of the actual fighting in this war, breaks, we cannot win. Our technological superiority is not enough to guarantee that our forces will prevail in battle and in securing the peace.
The problem with the sustainability of the troop levels in Iraq is the number of combat brigades.
the number of combat brigades from 33 to 42. While all the steps are necessary, they are not sufficient.
I think that where they are wrong is that we cannot do two occupations at once: we can do an occupation and fight a theater war to win at the same time (as long as we have a couple of rebuilding years afterwards), but we can't occupy Iraq and Iran or Iraq and Syria at the same time.
Korb is of a like mind:The special operations and psychological warfare and civil affairs forces should be doubled, and two peacekeeping and stabilization divisions should be added, bringing the Army end strength to 575,000. This size Army would come at an annual additional cost of $11 billion, money that can easily be found in the procurement account.

This size Army would come at an annual additional cost of $11 billion, money that can easily be found in the procurement account
What we can NOT do is increase the number of Rangers, Special Forces and the dreaded Special Operations Detachment Delta AND increase the Psychological Warfare troops. It takes YEARS to develope an "operator", years of selection and training and then a number of years as an entry level troop to become a fully-trained and combat-ready operator. Plus, there are only a LIMITED number of folks who CAN be operators, and of them only a few really want to be operators.
And since special operators don't grow on trees, we better begin looking now and training our best. We'd also better be prepared to pay them what they're worth to the civilian world since it is among our special operators that security firms like those we see operating in Iraq and other parts of the world are going to recruit.
It's like talking of "doubling" the size of the US Olympic Team. You can do it, but at a cost to standards or by book-keeping measures that APPEAR to increse the end-strength, but the number of Olympic-level athletes or folks who wish to be Rangers, Green Berets (Sorry, but to me they will ALWAYS be Green Berets-thank Robin Moore for that)or Delta-Force is rather small and one is not likely to "double" their numbers any time soon.
I think that the SASO units will end up being committed to Combat Operations and suffer disproportionate losses OR the US Army will discover that its force structure is TOO SMALL to complete combat operations, because the US Army has only 8 COMBAT divisions. Sorry the US Army is not likely to increase to 12 divisions, any time soon.
Lastly, DD(X) or F-22 may not be the what the ARMY wants, but that doesn't mean the US doesn't need them.
McQ I realize you served and I haven't, but I still stand by the analogy of the Olympic Team, for one thing. There are only so many folks who WILL BE in the operating end of SOCom. To double the size of SOCom's combat forces means doubling the size of the force or the US population. Operational Detachments Alpha are understrength NOW. We are having troubling keeping the CURRENT force-level, much less increasing it
the pay and bonuses are SIGNIFICANTLY increased, i.e., the US Army starts offering massive bonuses and pay as compared tot eh other services.
To achieve your goal of end-strength is going to cost more than a FEW DD(X)'s or F-22's, it will kill the programs.
There's nothing magic about SOF. They are elite mostly because of their mentality, their will and their desire.
That's not the case with our SOF in an insurgency. It's a style of warfare we're talking about, not the level of competition.
Exactly, and there are only a limted number of folks mentality and desire will carry them onto SOF.
And Ranger School is NOT SOF, from many accounts.
RIP of the 75th is tough and the requirement for entry, Ranger School comes later.
I guess we'll just have to disagree about the number of folks available for Rangers and on up...
And I do NOT see where you're going to get the extra 95,000 troops you posit.
Meaning, our Spec-Ops are the best of those who tried, not of the entire military. They stand out because of training, not because of initial, untrained ability.
So if we can draw down by 50k troops within 18 months, we'd ease the stress on the Army (and Air Force!) more quickly than if we tried to expand the Army by 50k, right?
We would actually be in good shape if it weren't for vastly increased military spending since 9/11. Now here you are calling for even greater military spending, which would make our fiscal situation far, far worse.
The Army's position, as I have read it is, that by the time the extra troops would be ready, assuming that they could be found in the first place, the NEED for them in Iraq will be evaporating, along with the excess funding for the War in Iraq. Leaving the Army with several thousand terribly expensive soldiers, with a reduced mission and far less funds than the Army feels necessary to sustain them.
The War on Terror and the Post-9/11 World have been made what they are by the Total FOrce committment of the 1970's. I see benefits to both sides from it.
So I'm not sure changing the nature of the force structure is a good iea, for the US, for the Active Forces or the reserves.
While that may all sound wonderful when one talks of politics, as with most ivory tower nonsense, it doesn't necessarly translate well on the ground where it has to work or people die.
You structure your reserves to pick up the slack on major and extended depolyments ... a war of more than a few months. What's happened for years is everytime we've deployed AC units we've been forced to deploy reserve units to support them. The erosion in the reserve forces started long before Iraq.
Well all I can say is that this was created by THE CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE ARMY, the late Creighton Abrams, after his tour of command in Vietnam. Apparently HE felt it worthwhile to bind the Army together in this manner to prevent the Army from having to fight in faraway places. This wasn't Moskos or Larry Sabato coming up with the idea, but a decorated combat veteran.
And the RC isn't just for "major wars." Not any more... and if that's what the RC thinks its for it needs a new think. That was its mission from 1919 until 1989, sure, the Force in Being for the Next Big One, but right now there isn't a NEXT BIG ONE in the offing. There are a number of Large Big Ones, mayhap, but no WWIII's looming. Its mission is to provide the support services to the AC not within the active force structure, a force structure created to LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE AC to fight in an expeditionary manner, a la Vietnam.
I would further add that when the RC thinks it's there for the Next Big One it doesn't take itself very seriously, and neither does the AC
And actually what I expect to happen is that the AC will create the CS and CSS units within it's manpower limits and go without the RC. Leading tot he problems that the RC and the Force had in the 1960's, an ability to deploy faraway and a reduced, almost pointless RC, incapable of supporting the Force and drawing resources away from the Force.
Not if its a short deployment. And if its not THEN you callup the reserves, train them up and plug them in. That's what they're for.
Nonsense. The name "reserve" connotes the mission. It is not a force to be deployed everytime an AC unit heads OCONUS. What part of "the fact it is that way now is a MISTAKE" don't you understand? It is a FORCE STRUCTURE problem.
But that's not what is going to happen, McQ. if the AC is going to create the CS and CSS units, it will use them and ignore the RC portions!
I see the the Total Force and the division of units as A PART OF THE FORCE STRUCTURE.
Can't the Army field QM units apart from the RC units?
Under the proposed system, the brigade takes on a fixed, or relatively fixed organization, of two maneuver battalions and a cavalry squadron (technically the the Reconnaissane, Surveillance and Target Acquisition Squadron), plus artillery, engineers, and support units. The divison will be a mix of BRIGADES, with little organic support.
As far as cancelling the expensive items like the F-22 and ships, since it takes years to build a ship, and months to build an airplane, doesn't it make some sense to build the time consuming items whien we have time?
Now I have more questions. How does the commander form a reserve? I have heard this was fairly important. With the hoary old system of a triad of maneuver elements, it was simple to have two forward and one in reserve. How do they manage it with only two maneuver battallions?
If all the artillery, etc. is divided among the brigades, how does a commander efficiently concentrate support where it is needed?
How do the batallions rest & refit?
As best I can recollect, under the Reorganization of Army Division(ROAD) concept, brigades were already basically an ad hoc collection of batallions that could be tailored for specific missions; sort of a battlegroup concept.
And the bottom line is that there are fewer grunts to do the actual work.
the Brigade BECOMES a primary maneuver unit.
Divisions have, I think, 9 maneuver battalions now, and 3 bd hqs. Will a division now have 4 bd hqs with 8 battalions?
As I read the article, 600,000 is a wish and highly unlikely since the QDR calls for 480,000.
One of the four truths of SOF is that they can't be mass-produced.
I am a bit negative about all this intellectual masturbation over the wars of the future.
But to me, and I speak only of USASOC- the idea of adding another squadron, or SFG, or Ranger Battalion- which is what I believe would be the conclusion of what everyone is saying, would require a little more fundamental change than just Congress changing numbers. And without that change, it would result in a lowering of standards which would, by definition, make our SOF not so special.
If we want to solve manning problems and want a way to increase the fighting power of SOF- what about a force of Foreign Auxiliaries? Hackworth, for all the hack he was, wrote an excellent idea of the framework for such an 'American Foreign Legion'. With modification, this would be a cost-efficient manner of doing things abroad we could not otherwise do. Why is this not an option to be discussed?

Lance Armstrong is more than a living legend of the Tour de France. He is a symbol of hope. His LIVESTRONG Foundation is making a difference in the lives of millions of people living with cancer, and Oakley is honored to help support its efforts. With each sale of this special edition sunglass, $20 will be provided to the foundation. This is your opportunity to help support a noble cause and wear a symbol of inspiration and empowerment.
Oakley SCALPEL® is a rare breed that goes from sport to street with style to spare, and we rendered this special edition with the colors of the LIVESTRONG Foundation. These sunglasses come with all the performance and clarity you need, along with superior impact protection and dawn-to-dusk comfort. We laser engraved "LIVESTRONG" on one of the Black IRIDIUM® lenses, and the lens tint will help you maintain color recognition on bright, sunny days. Choose Scalpel for a slice of style that's a cut above the best, and choose this edition to show your support for a noble cause.
Oakley SCALPEL® combines the best of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) with a look that goes from street to sport, and it offers a level of performance as aggressive as its styling.
This is sculpture mixed with science, and there's a reason behind every curve. The side-to-side contour of a lens can make or break peripheral vision. SCALPEL has a full 8.75 base curvature to open your range of view. That much of a contour leads to optical distortion in ordinary sunglasses but SCALPEL is engineered with XYZ OPTICS® to maintain critical clarity along the entire lens curve. You'll have added protection against sun, wind and side impact. As a matter of fact, this design meets ANSI Z87.1 basic impact standards, and the pure PLUTONITE® lenses filter out 100% of all UV. The optics also meet every ANSI Z87.1 standard for visual performance. So if you hit the links or just crash a beach volleyball game, SCALPEL will give you all the razor-sharp clarity you need.
The smooth sculptural contours are made of durable, lightweight O MATTER® frame material, and we gave the stem sleeves special attention. Note how they wrap the ends and continue along the underside. They're made of UNOBTAINIUM®, a material that increases grip with sweat, and they're part of a Three-Point Fit that maintains comfort all day while holding the lenses in precise optical alignment.
The only thing left to think about is what options you want. Oakley HDPolarized lenses block the blinding rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces. Our polarization technology eliminates the haze and optical distortion that plagues ordinary polarized lenses. You can also get SCALPEL with IRIDIUM® lens coating that further reduces glare while precisely balancing light transmission. And if you weren't born with perfect eyes, you can get Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.00 to -4.00 combined power).

The federal government has released more than $11 million in emergency funds to help Iowa provide important social services related to flood and tornado recovery.
Sen. Chuck Grassley had pressed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to distribute the money that Congress approved last October for this purpose.
"These federal dollars will help Iowa pay for child welfare services, mental health services and services for the elderly, all related to the recovery efforts that are still going on after the natural disasters that hit our state last year," Grassley said. "Release of these funds was overdue. It was time to get this money out the door and to the people who need it."

Things I liked:Very accurate indeed! Pistol surpassed my expectations in leaps and bounds. Very quiet for indoor shooting as well. I have not yet found the favorite pellet for my 2300S as I have been hindered by bad weather and getting home from work late in the day, however, I'm able to shoot indoors to 30 feet and on a rest have been getting one hole groups with H&N Finale Match Pistol 7.56 gr. and RWS R10 MATCH 7.0 gr. pellets. I will update this when possible.
Things I would have changed:I'm fine with this pistol being single shot, but a mag. version would be awesome.
What others should know:Just a great shooting pistol to keep your skills honed. Someone that has better skills than me could win tournaments with this.
Things I liked:Great accuracy as fixed barrel CO2 pistols should have. Surprisingly low noise level. The CO2 Power plant is very scope friendly compared to any springer pistols. You will be happy if you do not expect the same level of fine craftsmanship from RWS Diana LP8.
Things I would have changed:With the current price, it should come with a wood grip panels. The mechanical mechanism of the bolt should be fitted better, not as loose as it is now.
What others should know:No flat head ward cut pallet for this gun, because the pallet feeding mechanism.
How is the trigger? I have 2 Crosman pneumatic pistols the 1322 and 1377. They could be great but they are let down by their hard to pull trigger. I read somewhere here that this 2300S has the same trigger. Is this true? I would love a Crosman CO2 pistol and this one could be it.
Things I liked:FINE SILHOUETTE TARGET PISTOL PISIOL. IT DOES NOT REPLACE MY CROSMAN SSP 250,JUST UPDATES IT.
Things I would have changed:WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING,BUT DO MISS THE FOREMARM
What others should know:IF YOU KNOW THE SSP 250,IT IS GREAT TO SEE THE TRADITION CARRIED ON--FOR THOSE OF US THAT CAN'T AFFORD $1,000.00 PCP'S

RALEIGH — A man from Wilson was charged with hitting a police dog and four felonies in connection with an assault and his being chased after a traffic stop Tuesday, Wake County sheriff's deputies said.
Derick Montique Harper, 40, of 1706 Dartmore Drive in Wilson was a suspect in an assault on a woman when Deputy Greg T. Wall, a K-9 officer, stopped his car on New Bern Avenue shortly after 1 a.m., according to an arrest report.
Harper ran away, authorities said, and Wall sent his partner, Rico, after him.
Harper was accused of "punching him in the head several times" after Rico caught him, according to an arrest warrant.
Neither Harper nor Rico were injured, Capt. James Stevens said.
Harper was charged with assault by strangulation, assault on a female, possession of a firearm by a felon, carry a concealed gun, second-degree kidnapping, felonious restraint, resisting an officer and under a section of state law that makes it a misdemeanor to assault a law enforcement or rescue animal.
He was being held Tuesday in lieu of $125,000 bail pending a court appearance.

I know it doesn't make sense for Eponine to be there, but 3 voices in harmony (Valjean, Fantine, Eponine) are so beautiful! I never thought that Eponine hated Cosette. I knew she loved Marius, but realized he never saw her in that way.Btw, one change that I reaaaaaaaaly liked was the omission of Eponine from the reprise of "Come to Me" and the addition of the Bishop. I've ALWAYS said that it made no sense at all for Eponine to suddenly show up to guide Valjean to heaven; they spoke only once in the play and not at all in the film. Substituting her with the Bishop, who actually WAS a very important figure in Valjean's life, was much more fitting and a change that I heartily applaud. It's a shame that it's only taken them this long to do it!
I've seen it on B'way twice. I've watched the 10th and 25th Anniversary performances XXXXX times. Have the DVD and CD of the 10th. Listen to it constantly. I want to see it, but I'm worried. I got annoyed when they changed the order of some things in Billy Elliot (vice versa though, movie first).
For those that have seen it...is that now after Lovely Ladies in the film? In the stage show, she sings I Dreamed a Dream right after she is canned by the Forman but from the previews of the movie, it looks like she is singing it as a Lady of The Night!
Fantine does sing it after Lady of the Night.
The switched order makes sense in context. In the stage show, it's a little easer to have a character just pause and reflect at nearly any point, via a big solo number; in the movie, the switched order helps to keep the action going.

Actually, I think it's much better known and beloved than the stage version of The Sound of Music was before that film came out. The definition of success for a musical is so different these days. Les Miserables has played all over the world for 25 years, and many people have seen it multiple times. The Sound of Music had a four-year Broadway run, an even shorter London run, and U.S. and Australian tours, all of which were finished long before the movie came out. So a lot more people are going into the Les Mis film having some idea of what to expect, than with the Sound of Music film.

I very rarely get upset when movies deviate from the original source (see Hunger Games or Harry Potter or Jane Austen), but wrt to Les Mis, I don't see how these changes can amount to the movie being compared as TOTALLY! UTTERLY! different from the musical (which was based on a book--I'm pretty sure the producers made changes from the book).
I also doubt that people not familiar with the musical will like the movie more than those familiar with the musical. I've heard enough "Ya mean they all sing throughout the *entire* movie?!?!?" complaints to hold this belief so firmly.
What was changed in "The Sound of Music"? I've never seen the musical.

^ In the stage production of TSOM, there were three songs that were not in the movie. "I Have Confidence in Me" was not in the original Broadway cast recording (with Mary Martin). "Something Good" replaced "An Ordinary Couple." "How Can Love Survive" (a very witty song) was only done instrumentally in the movie during the ballroom dancing scene. "No Way to Stop It," a political debate song about the Captain's not giving in to the Nazis (with Max & the Baroness suggesting compromise), not was not in the movie, unfortunately (and I love the show, movie, Julie Andrews to pieces!). We saw the Broadway revival of TSOM in 1998 (with the wonderful Rebecca Luker as Maria, and this song was, thankfully, restored). In the show, it's a song with the Captain, Max, & the Baroness, and it's just before the Captain & Baroness call off their engagement. The Lonely Goatherd was used as the song to calm down the children during the thunderstorm in the show. My Favorite Things was sung with Maria & the Mother Superior when they were discussing the idea that Maria leave the Abbey for a while to be the new governess for the von Trapp family.

I went to see the movie yesterday and was completely blown away by it. Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, and Samantha Barks were phenomenal. I've never seen Les Mis before in any form though so I have nothing to compare it to. Some of the close ups were a little much but overall I was very impressed. Many tears flowed, and even my mom who rarely likes any movie really enjoyed it.
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." -The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I don't mean to disagree that she might be purposefully playing up the hardships of the Les Mis role in an effort to get critical award nominations, but it is possible that there might be other reasons to talking about one role and not the other. How do you think it looks to the public to have an already thin actress go on and on about how much weight she had to lose in order to fit into a sexy spandex suit? At least for Fantine, she's SUPPOSED to be ill and starving. For that, it's just her craft. For Catwoman, it's the ultimate proof of a society that has placed too many expectations on women on how their body is supposed to look. It's horrible PR.
But anyway, I'm sure both reasons are correct.
I saw this on Christmas Day and I LOVED it!!! I'm a huge fan of the musical, seen it twice, own both the 10th and the 25th on DVD and know pretty much every single note. I was very nervous about the movie not living up to my expectations, so I tried to go in with an open mind. None of the changes really bothered me, and some I actually loved, including adding the bishop (Colm!!) to Valjean's death and how Eponine dies (saving Marius like the book).
I expected Anne Hathaway and Samantha Barks to be great, and they both absolutely were, but the big standout to me was Eddie Redmayne as Marius! Great singing and acting, and I think his version of "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" may become my new favorite (sorry Michael Ball, I still love you!) Javert is one of my favorite characters, but I had very low expectations for Russell Crowe and I really didn't end up hating his performance at all. I had higher expectations for Hugh Jackman and while I thought he did a great job overall, he did seem to struggle with some of the higher register singing. Loved Carter and Cohen as the Thenardiers and also thought Amanda Seyfried was a lovely Cosette.
Overall I loved the film way more than I expected, I laughed, cried, and sang, and can't wait to see it again! My biggest gripe is that they cut so much Bamatabois, since his opener ("here's something new, I think I'll give it a try...") is one of my favorite parts of the show!
I just purchased the soundtrack for $5 on Amazon.
Thanks, Wyliefan and pastaskatefan!

I was looking at the movie sound track album. It doesn't have all of the songs on it. Is "Fantine's Death" in the movie? I actually like that better than "I Dreamed a Dream".
Just got back from "Les Mis" -- my first time seeing it. I thought it was incredibly well done!
However, after all the hype, I thought Anne Hathaway was just "ok."
The two standouts for me were Hugh Jackman and Eddie Redmayne. I thought Eddie was perfect as Marius and, IMO, he definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor!
Samantha Barks was a fabulous Eponine. "A Little Fall of Rain" got me, big time. :
Overall, a great film!
I have never seen Les Miz on Broadway or in any other way except the high school production my daughter was in -- a very good one, but still high school. I was really looking forward to the movie.
On one hand, it made me cry five different times. I needed more Kleenex. However, I cry at movies really easily (and not in real life) and even when I was crying I knew I was being emotionally exploited by the story and the songs.
The acting was quite good and Hathaway and the girl who played Eponine were the best.
The directing was just abysmal. All closeups or huge, panoramic shots, no camera movement during songs and some really awkward angles. What was he thinking? And where was Baz Luhrman or Rob Marshall when we needed them? And Russell Crowe, call your agent and tell him he's fired.
So a mixed bag and my eyes really hurt.

---- — HAVERHILL — The License Commission is reviewing the latest in a series of complaints against a used-car dealership, and is considering punishing the business.
Joseph Edwards, chairman of the commission which regulates used-car dealers in the city, said the commission is aware of a recent customer complaint against the dealership, which has had several names under the same owner. It is now known as Route 495 Auto and Truck of Haverhill.
The commission is looking into the matter and intends to invite dealership owner Robert Kalil to its May meeting "to hear his side of the story," Edwards said.
"We'll listen to what he has to say, look at any police reports and anything else that's available and decide at that meeting if we're going to bring Mr. Kalil back for a show-cause (discipline) hearing," Edwards said.
In June 2011, Edwards and other commission members told Kalil they would revoke his license if they received one more complaint against him during the next year. At that meeting, Haverhill police said they have responded to Kalil's dealership numerous times to investigate disputes between Kalil and his customers.
Police said problems have included failure to return deposits, issues with sale contracts and possible violations of the Lemon Law.
A message left for Kalil with a receptionist at his dealership seeking comment for this story was not returned.
Kalil's dealership at 1175 Main St. is operating under the name Route 495 Auto and Truck of Haverhill. It was formerly known as Fenway Auto Park.
In 2009, the car dealership was cited by the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation for violating the Lemon Law.
In that case, a customer said when he purchased his truck at the dealership on upper Main Street in Haverhill, a salesman from the store made him drive across the New Hampshire line to a Plaistow dealership to sign papers for the sale. When that customer later tried to return his truck under the Massachusetts Lemon Law, Kalil told him the law didn't apply because the vehicle was purchased in New Hampshire, according to the office of consumer affairs. New Hampshire has no lemon laws covering used cars.
The latest complaint against the dealership comes from Stefan DiGregorio of Wakefield. DiGregorio said he has filed a police report and also has contacted the Haverhill License Commission, the Attorney General's Office, and the state Office of Consumer Affairs & Business Regulation to seek help.
DiGregorio said he bought a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon from Kalil in late January and that within 30 days he began having multiple problems with the vehicle. The most serious included a faulty transmission that would not stay in reverse and an exhaust system that was leaking fumes into the cabin of the sedan, DiGregorio said.
DiGregorio said that after Kalil refused several requests to repair the vehicle under the terms of his 30-day Massachusetts dealer warranty, DiGregorio filed a formal claim for a refund of the purchase price under the Massachusetts Lemon Law. DiGregorio said he followed up his written claim with a phone call to Kalil to give Kalil one last chance to repair the vehicle.
That's when "things got nasty," DiGregorio said.
"I was told by Bob (Kalil) that he would repair the vehicle completely if first I wrote a letter stating that all my claims were false," DiGregorio said. "Then, only after the letter was issued, would he make the repairs."
When DiGregorio declined that arrangement, he said Kalil threatened to have him fired from his job at a local ambulance company.
"During the phone call and after I said that I would only retract my claims after the car was repaired, Bob became flustered and began to raise his voice," DiGregorio said. "He stated, 'I'll call up your ambulance company and claim that you are a bad EMT and an unsafe driver. I know the people over there.'
"I was shocked by this statement and remained silent," DiGregorio said. "He followed up and told me 'I know people in Haverhill. ' ... I felt uncomfortable and ended the conversation."
After that phone call, DiGregorio said he contacted Haverhill police and has since filed a complaint with Wakefield police against Kalil for allegedly threatening him. DiGregorio said he was advised by Haverhill police to file his complaint with his hometown department because that's where he was during the phone call in which he was allegedly threatened by Kalil.
Kalil's dealership was placed on probation for one year at the conclusion of the 2011 License Commission meeting. One member, Gerlad Sewell, wanted to revoke Kalil's license that night, but he was overruled by Edwards and then-commission member Thomas Sullivan.
"We gave you a license to sell cars in Haverhill, and we can just as easily take it away," Edwards said to Kalil at the 2011 meeting. "You've had many consumer complaints, and they can't all be wrong and you're right."
At that time, Kalil said he recently made many policy and personnel changes at his dealership, including firing the store's manager and hiring a second mechanic, to eliminate problems.
In light of Kalil's history, DiGregorio said he is "shocked and disappointed" that Haverhill continues to allow Kalil to sell cars.
"I will admit I have damaged credit from when I was younger and was joyed to have someone approve my loan," DiGregorio said, referring to the loan that Kaili approved that allowed DiGregorio to buy the car he is now trying to return. "But sadly, I quickly realized that it was a predatory car sales dealership and I was trapped in a lemon.''

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
The razzle-dazzle art'otel berlin city center west shines a spotlight on the Pop Art master Andy Warhol. Oodles of art—more than 250 copies by (or of) the man who made soup labels iconic—give this vibrant four-star establishment a glint of disco-era glam.
Set in a glassy building on the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf border, the westernmost outpost of the art'otel mini-chain is within walking distance to the area's department stores, restaurants and boutiques. Solid four-star amenities make it a cushy home base for sightseers. Rates are not the cheapest in town, but they are low enough to make all these "extras" feel like solid gold.
Quick read
Pros: Snazzy artistic aesthetic. Covetable location.
Cons: A bit pricey (but worth the splurge). Can pick up traffic noise.
You'll forever have an image of Warhol (and his spiky tresses) seared onto your brain after a stay in this gallery-cum-hotel. The art'otel city center west's 152 spacious guest rooms feature a mixture of the artist's works (usually portraits of Marilyn Monroe) and black-and-white images of the man himself (some nearly life-size cut-outs).
Some rooms sport a green-and-purple color scheme, while others are of the red-black-white persuasion. Either way, the feel is sleek and, in true Warhol style, edgy—think slick lighting (including some panels infused with ghost-like Andy images) and sassy, strategically placed decals. Our favorite detail? The low-slung, '70s-style chairs in bold shades of purple or red.
All rooms offer air conditioning, a tea kettle, minibar, phone, safe and flat-screen TV. Twenty-seven "art'room xls" offer a bit more space (for a higher rate). Those sensitive to traffic noise should request a room facing the courtyard.
The white-tiled private bathrooms are spacious and clean. Some are a bit boring compared to the splashy rooms, while others feature funky touches like Warhol's signature scrawled up the shower glass or Marilyn's silhouette (and bright red pucker!) on the mirror. Bathrooms are outfitted with a hair dryer and toiletries.
The Warhol party continues in the hotel's open-plan lobby-restaurant, which is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows sporting life-size Andy portraits. And the bar/breakfast room, appropriately named "Factory," does its best to evoke Studio 54, with "spotlights" over the bar and shimmering Warhols on the walls. (The only thing that's missing is the New York attitude.) And the art'otel city center west also offers a luxurious sauna with an adjacent fitness center.
Wi-Fi is free throughout, and breakfast is sometimes included in the room rate (check when booking).
The art'otel berlin city center west prices a bit higher than most of our Berlin picks, but it's one the handful of "Classy Cheapos" we include in the city: those slick spots that are worth a bit more for the extras they provide. And given the hotel's cool style, superb location and high standards of amenities and services, the rates are an excellent value.
That said, should you want a similar experience for less, we recommend checking out the city center west's sister hotel, the art'otel berlin mitte, another EuroCheapo pick that is equally splashy but tends to be a bit cheaper.

About the art'otel berlin city center west neighborhood
Wilmersdorf is south of Charlottenburg. Though quite central, it's not exactly a booming hood. Pockets of a lively café culture can be found in Wilmersdorf, but for the most part this is a quiet area. Wilmersdorf is a great neighborhood for those who seek a central location and wish not to run the risk of stumbling across noisy nighttime revelers.

The old cliche is that momentum is the next day's starting pitcher. But that has to be amended, at least for a day. After what we saw late into Wednesday night and into early Thursday morning I submit that momentum is what we saw yesterday.
Yeesh. We get another quadruple-header today!
The Reds brought a 2-0 lead home but the Giants have won two straight and they play Game Five today at 1. It's up to Mat Latos to give somebody a homefield advantage.
The Cardinals are wiping the floor with the Nationals, who need to win Game Four today at 4 to stay alive. But as Washington Post columnist Thomas Boswell insists, the absent Stephen Strasburg isn't the problem. He's wrong, by the way. Boswell, one of the game's famous pens, has supported the Nats' foolishness all year. They're getting theirs now, and this USA Today blog says plenty of rivals are happy.
Then there's the American League. Where do you begin?
The Orioles were 77-0 this season when leading after seven innings. They had a 2-1 lead with one out in the ninth when Joe Girardi pinch-hits for Alex Rodriguez (a great move, but a wow one) and Raul Ibanez takes 51-save closer Jim Johnson deep to tie the game (above). A-Rod's spot in the lineup is no longer automatic, writes Joel Sherman in the New York Post.
Then Ibanez goes deep again in the 12th to give the Yankees a 3-2 win and make Ibanez the first player in postseason history to tie a game with an HR in the 9th and win it with another in extra innings. Seriously. Game Four tonight at 7:37. Said Mike Vaccaro in the Post: "Girardi hit the greatest jackpot of his managerial career, cashed the biggest Lotto ticket of his life."
Said Mike Lupica in the Daily News on the results of A-Rod taking a seat: "Ibanez gave you a new spin on the old story of Mr. October, three swings for Reggie and three home runs in '77, when Ibanez swung the bat twice and hit two home runs, and saved the Yankees from having to play for their season Thursday night."
How do the Orioles bounce back? Baltimore Sun columnist Peter Schmuck says more offense is the key. Playing the one-run road won't always work and it finally failed the O's in Game Three.
Take a look at Ibanez's heroics here, including the crazy radio calls of Yankees voice John Sterling:
I flip the channel and the Tigers have a 3-1 lead in Oakland. Then it goes to the ninth and they're three outs away. Then Jose Valverde implodes and Coco Crisp's single caps a three-run ninth and the A's win 4-3 and we have Game Five tonight at 9:30. Crazy. Walkoffs R Us, writes San Francisco Chronicle columnist Ann Killion.
Here's the MLB.com video wrapup of the bottom of the ninth. (No embed code, sorry)
All that talk of a Baltimore-Washington World Series is slipping. All the Bay Bridge talk appeared dead but San Francisco-Oakland is back on the table again.
If the Yankees wrap it up tonight, they get to use CC Sabathia in Game One of the ALCS while the Tigers will have already blown through Justin Verlander tonight in Game Five. And doesn't Verlander have to stay in the game as long as possible with the way the Tigers' bullpen is blowing up?
Another long day ahead. Can it possibly come close to yesterday?
