Feds: Ex-Baylor hoops player tried to extort Redskins QB Griffin
DALLAS (AP) -- A former Baylor basketball player is facing a federal extortion charge for allegedly threatening to release "derogatory information" about Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III unless he was paid.
Richard Khamir Hurd, 25, was arraigned Monday in federal court in Waco. His bond was set at $25,000.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Griffin, the Baylor quarterback who was the No. 2 overall draft choice of the Washington Redskins, was the target of the alleged extortion attempt. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because authorities had not disclosed the fact.
Griffin, participating in a youth clinic as part of the league's rookie symposium this week, would not comment directly on the arrest. Griffin says the arrest is a good lesson for himself and other NFL rookies and his situation reinforces the stories they are hearing from former players during their four-day orientation program on problems they may face as professionals. Griffin said "there's vultures out there, people looking to climb on top of all your money."
Court documents say that last week, Hurd contacted a representative from a St. Louis agency, threatening to publicize derogatory information about a client unless he was paid a "substantial sum" of money. The representative is identified in documents only by the initials B.D.
Griffin's agent is St. Louis-based Ben Dogra, who didn't respond to messages Monday. The documents don't name Griffin.
According to court documents, Hurd met at a Waco business Friday with someone who agreed to handle the transaction. After signing a non-disclosure agreement, handing over the information and receiving a check, Hurd was arrested by an undercover FBI agent, documents said.
Hurd's attorney did not return calls seeking comment.
Hurd's mother, Marlene Hurd, told The AP on Monday she'd heard that her son was in jail but wasn't aware of the details.
"Whatever it is, I pray by the grace of God that he's innocent," she said.
Griffin's Heisman Trophy, the first in the history of the world's largest Baptist university, came after he led the Bears to only their second 10-win season in 112 years. In his three-year career, Griffin set or tied 54 school records.
Washington traded three first-round picks and a second-rounder to the St. Louis Rams to move into the No. 2 slot to draft Griffin.
The past year also saw Baylor win the NCAA women's basketball championship with a 40-0 record and reach the round of 16 for the second time in three years in the men's tournament.
However, less than a week after the Lady Bears won the title, the NCAA put the Waco school on three years' probation after an investigation turned up hundreds of impermissible telephone calls and text messages sent to prep recruits by coaches and assistants on the two basketball teams.
Hurd played basketball at Baylor as a walk-on, from the 2004-05 season through the 2007-08 season, after a high school career at Heritage Christian Academy in Cleveland north of Houston, according to Baylor sports information. His brother, Lamar Hurd, also played at Heritage Christian and later at Oregon State.
The brothers helped Heritage Christian become one of the top private school programs in Texas, and the school's former coach, Jerome Tang, is now a Baylor assistant.

Austin >Shopping > Highland Mall
6001 Airport Blvd # 1199, Austin, TX | Directions 7875230.325648 -97.713837
Mon. - Sat. 10am - 9pm;Sun. 12am - 6pm
Neighborhoods: Highland, Brentwood - Highland
Oh, Highland Mall. Whatever shall we do with you? Until you ascend to that retail shopping center in the sky, you'll be forever remembered for Slacker, where misfits shoot the breeze at your forlorn bus stop.
Never go to this Mall – This mall is awful! There is no other way to describe it. I needed a new swimsuit for my camping trip down on the guadalupe river that the Highland is the closest mall to my house. It is a decentley sized mall, but the directory is inacurate and is misleading. After attemping to find stores listed on the directory, I finally came upon customer service to ask where a few things were. Apparently those stores that I had been looking for had been closed down a long time ago. Good to know! I'll never go back there again. The bus stop IS creepy, just dozens of people hanging out in the street and around the area. The people who work inside of this craptastic mall aren't any better. Customer serive was terrible, the directory is no "directory" at all, and for some reason this mall attracts the trashy people with bad attitudes. I've never ran into so many pushy, rude, inconciderate people in one place in my life...and I used to live in Dallas!
Standard Stores, Lotta Potential Inside, Landscaping/Bird Waste Nightmare Outside – This mall is OK. It's a bit bigger than it looks, but still small. If you want to find your "standard" mall stores (the staples we are all used to)- this is the place: Hot Topic (providing you with non-conformist gear everywhere!), Cinnabon, New York & Company, Lerner, Victoria's Secret, Nine West, Aldo, Banana Republic, Dillards, Aeropostale, Yadda-yadda, (you've seen one, you've seen them all). Kiosk lurkers waiting to harass you and ask you if you want to buy what they've got. There are some other stores there that look like they are selling horrible Pic N Save wanna be ugh ugly clothes. I hope they leave and get replaced with some good indies and not your standard cookie cutter stuff.
For any of you that are from San Diego - think of Plaza Bonita, only, less gangsta (definetely more tolerable), but still very "highs school/teeny bopper-ish". Their food court is kind of blah, it's got the standard Cinnabon, no Panda Express, A sushi place with horrible sushi. I had my hair & eyebrows done at a place called Regis, it was blah, I could've gone to supercuts for the same thing.
On the PLUS side: It has a lot of potential. I've seen, some inexpensive indie clothing stores with REALLY cute clothes have started popping up. One of them is called "Imagine" (stop by there if you get a chance), and a few others who's names I can't remember. There is one place called "Gaylord's Hamburgers" (or something, but how can you forget a name like that, eh?"), it was SO GOOD. The burger was a bit pricey but dang, it was worth it.
Cookie cutter isn't bad, when you need your staples. They need to fix the outside to coax people in. Put in some landscaping, add some green. In the parking lot there are TONS of birds that take huge craps all over everything. The building looks like it could use a fresh coat of paint.There's a major bus stop there so you get the riff raff, they should screen it or hide it somehow.
I'll go again, in hopes that more cute new stores come in.
A North Austin mall with all the retail favorites. – In Short
Anchored by Macy's and a men's and women's Dillard's, Highland Mall serves the needs of almost any shopper. For the fashion plate: Forever 21, Guess, Jessica McClintock, Johnston & Murphy, J. Crew, and The Avenue. For the kids, there's the Disney Store, Limited Too and KB Toys. The fitness-minded will appreciate Champs Sports and General Nutrition Center. Godiva will satisfy sweet tooths, and the food court on the second level will serve the belly.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — "Argo" is in big with the Golden Globes, but not so much with the Academy Awards. "Lincoln" is sitting pretty with the Oscars but was mostly left out in the cold at the Globes.

Previously announced: Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award: Jodie Foster.
– The Associated Press
Sunday's Globes left the Feb. 24 Academy Awards picture still muddled, with the Iran hostage thriller "Argo" winning for best drama and director for Ben Affleck, a prize he already knows he can't win at the Oscars, where he wasn't even nominated.
The night featured former President Clinton getting a standing ovation after introducing "Lincoln" and Jodie Foster coming out without really coming out as this year's winner of the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.
Foster joked that celebrities are now expected to reveal they're gay "with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show." She declined: "My reality show is so boring."
One thing not so boring this year were hosts –î Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, who were given credit for being charming, irreverent and hilarious.
Besides the three wins for "Les Miserables" and two for "Argo," the show was a mixed bag, with awards spread around a number of films.
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" came in leading the Globes with seven nominations but won only one award, best actor for Daniel Day-Lewis. "Lincoln" also leads the Oscars with 12 nominations, with Spielberg, Day-Lewis and co-star Sally Field all in the running for possible third Oscars.
"If I had this on a timeshare basis with my wonderful gifted colleagues, I might just hope to keep it for one day of the year, and I'd be happy with that," Day-Lewis said.
"Les Miserables" was named best musical or comedy and won acting honors for Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway.
"Zero Dark Thirty" star Jessica Chastain won the Globe for dramatic actress as a CIA agent obsessively pursuing Bin Laden.
Other acting prizes went to Jennifer Lawrence as best musical or comedy actress for the oddball romance "Silver Linings Playbook" and Christoph Waltz as supporting actor for the slave-revenge tale "Django Unchained."
"Les Miserables," the musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, earned Jackman the Globe for musical or comedy actor as tragic hero Jean Valjean. Hathaway won supporting actress as a single mother forced into prostitution.
"Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt," Hathaway said, cradling her trophy.
Jackman was a bit hoarse from the flu, but his Globe win seemed to be the right antidote.
"I was kicking myself for not getting the flu shot, but it appears that you don't need one. I feel great," Jackman said.
But when it comes to Hollywood's highest honors, "Les Miserables" has the same obstacle as "Argo," also failing to earn a best-director slot for filmmaker Tom Hooper at the Oscars.
Last Thursday's Oscar nominations held other shockers, including the omission of fellow Globe directing nominee Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty."
Clinton upstaged Hollywood's elite with a surprise appearance to introduce Spielberg's "Lincoln," which was up for best drama. The film chronicles Abraham Lincoln's final months as he tries to end the war and find common ground in a divided Congress to pass the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery.
Lincoln's effort was "forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise," Clinton said. "This brilliant film shows us how he did it and gives us hope that we can do it again."
Poehler gushed afterward, "Wow, what an exciting special guest! That was Hillary Clinton's husband!"
Lawrence won as best actress in a musical or comedy for her role as a troubled widow in a shaky new relationship. The Globe winners in musical or comedy categories often aren't factors at the Oscars, which tend to favor heavier dramatic roles.

Free Early Music Festival at the Clark November 13
For Immediate Release
November 03, 2004
Five different ensembles will perform at the Early Music Festival at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Saturday, November 13, beginning at 1 p.m. Performances will be offered continuously from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and again from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Scheduled to perform are the Frye and Lightning Consort, Exultemus, the New England Waites, Concordia, and the Brewster Village Consort. The program is offered in connection with the current exhibition Medieval Mystery: Who Is the Master of the Embroidered Foliage? Admission is free.
The Frye and Lighting Consort will begin the festival at 1 p.m. The five musicians perform Medieval and Renaissance music, particularly that of the Sephardic Jews and the British Isles. Ensemble members are Dennis Murphy (bassoon, string bass, viola da gamba, flute, whistle, recorder, percussion and vocals), Steven Light (string bass, lute, viola da gamba, recorder, shawm, cornetto, krummhorn, percussion, and vocals), Kathy Munson Light (harp, recorder, krummhorn, and vocals), Ellie Hayes (vielle, recorder, whistle, and vocals), and Bruce Chalmer (vielle, recorder, percussion, and vocals).
At 2:30 p.m., Exultemus will perform a vocal program of early German music. The eight singers in the Boston-based group span the Medieval, Renaissance, and early Baroque periods. They are modeled after small estate and chapel choirs, performing without a conductor and relying on each other for musical cues and phrasing. Exultemus is committed to historically accurate intonation and pronunciation.
The New England Waites will take the stage at 4 p.m. The quartet is an early brass ensemble. Members are: Michael Collver, cornetto; John Faieta, alto sackbut; Mack Ramsey, tenor sackbut; and Brian Kay, bass sackbut.
Following a break, the program will resume at 8 p.m. with a performance by Concordia. The countertenor and recorder ensemble will perform a program of German music before the time of Bach. Based in Boston, Concordia has performed at historic King's Chapel, the Concord Museum, Middlesex Community College, and other venues. Members are Audrey Benevento, Mark Malden, George Mastellone, Mary Lou Repucci, Brian Warnock, and Sheila Beardslee.
The final performer will be the Brewster Village Consort at 9 p.m. The quartet is a viola da gamba consort. Ensemble members are: Sarah Mead, treble and tenor viols; Janet Haas, treble and bass viols; Mai-Lan Broekman, tenor viol; and Rosalind Brooks Stowe, bass viol.
Medieval Mystery is on view through January 2. The 15th-century Netherlandish painter known only as The Master of the Embroidered Foliage is best recognized for his panel paintings of the Virgin and Child. The virtually identical compositions depict Mary in voluminous robes, seated on a throne while the Christ child in her arms leafs through an illustrated manuscript. The backgrounds of these detailed panels vary greatly from landscape to city streets. All are rich in palette and pattern and are finely painted with great detail. Medieval Mystery brings together for the first time four of these works from public and private collections in the United States, Belgium, and France, including the painting from the Clark's collection. An innovative presentation encourages visitors to participate in solving the mysteries of this artist.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Gallery admission is free through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

AUSTIN -- Austin firefighters and police are investigating a fire at Lone Star Self Storage off Ben White Boulevard in South Austin.
Firefighters responded to a 911 call of smoke around 3 a.m. Monday. Crews arrived to find three storage units at the complex on fire. Once they knocked out the flames, firefighters discovered the units, along with 22 others, had been burglarized.
Owner, Jerry Boswell, is pleading for answers.
"Why would they set one on fire? That's just vicious," said Boswell.
Boswell bought the storage complex in 1993. He says he installed fencing with barbed wire, a secured, gated entrance and surveillance cameras around the complex.
Detectives don't yet know how the burglars got inside.
"It's a lot of taking photographs, a lot of looking for fingerprints and things like that," explained Austin Fire Department Capt. Andy Reardon. "[We're] driving through the area to see if there are any [other] cameras."
Boswell says one of the cameras at the front gate recently went out. He was looking at upgrading the entire system last week.
"I feel for those families," said Boswell.
Detectives are blocking access to the storage complex while the investigation continues.
"We are keeping it closed down for right now until we can verify who's coming in, who's going out and make sure we get all the evidence collected, then we'll turn it back over to the owners," said Capt. Reardon. "The main thing right now is making sure we collect all the pieces of evidence that we need to when we process it properly. From there we go ahead and we start looking around the area for surveillance footage and things like that to see what we can come up with."
There are 365 units at Lone Star Self Storage. Police are asking anyone who may have information about the burglaries or the fire to call Crime Stoppers at (512) 472-TIPS.

Lourdes: 90 over 70.
Start an I.V., okay,
go get the propofol
we found in Fitchburg.
I can't stop the bleeding
until I find out where
the bullet is, okay?
I have to go in, Tom.
Lourdes: Guys, I know how much
you want to be here, but…
She's right. Come on.
Let's give them some room.
Let's give them
some room.
[ Groaning ]
Come on, Ben.
It's all right.
Let's give them
some room.
Thanks for that.
I go in blind like this,
I could make things worse.
[ Breathing sharply ]
I trust you.
[ Whirring ]
[ Grunting ]
I've been here for days!
I want to know about my son!
[ Screaming ]
[ Electricity crackling ]

Karen: Don't.
[ Grunts ]
Sorry for this, Tom.
I hope you're not afraid.
Whatever you think
they've done to me,
I'm still Karen.
This way.
You said what they were doing
to Ben was a process.
Whatever it is,
can it be stopped?
– That's up to you.
– Me?
it's time to face facts.
They've won.
There's no use prolonging
hostilities for either side.
Meaning what? They're asking
for a cease-fire?
No, they're allowing
the resistance
to surrender.
"Allowing the resistance
to surrender"?
Sounds like we've been more
trouble than they expected.
Don't overestimate
a few small victories.
The resistance
is an inconvenience.
They are offering you
a gift, Tom –
a chance to have a life,
a real life,
with Hal and Matt
and Ben.
After everything
they've done,
you expect me
to take that on faith?
Not on faith.
Once you hear
what they have to offer,
I'm sure you'll understand…
[ Indistinct conversations ]
So, they finally
got the bullet out,
but Anne says he's looking
pretty weak.
Your father's a fighter, Hal.
I know that firsthand.
Yeah, but you saw
the way he looked.
There's no telling what else
he's been through.
How's Ben handling it?
He's been keeping
to himself.
You know, he's got to feel
like hell.
You notice anything else
about him?
Look, Ben's fine,
all right?
If the Skitters are still
pulling his strings,
I think they'd make him miss
every now and then.
I still want you
to keep an eye on him.
Now, I know
that you're worried
about your father, Hal,
but we got a situation here.
Yeah, like how this
eight-minute escape window
just turned into two.
Those munitions we lucked into
allowed us to inflict
some serious pain,
but these ambushes were
supposed to be a holding action
till we got new orders.
You're not thinking about
backing down, are you?
We haven't heard word one
from any of the other units
since that attack
on Boston.
For all I know, we're the only
ones still left in the fight.
And I'm for killing these
bastards every chance we get,
but we get boxed in,
we may not come out.
So we don't get boxed in.
All right?
We're finally drawing blood.
That was the point,
Got to hurt them
as much as they hurt us.
I'm gonna go get some air.
If anything changes,
just come outside.
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ]
The girl told us you were
a historian before we came.
It's not her anymore, is it?
I'm talking to you?
She is allowing me
to speak through her.
She has no choice.
You took her like you took…
Ben and everything else.
There was
no other way.
We've studied you
in great detail, Professor.
We've drawn from that
to make a proposal
that would end hostilities
between us.
In exchange
for sanctuary,
we will set aside
a protected area
where human survivors
will be relocated.
Some kind
of prison camp.
A place where you would be
allowed to live in peace.
You must be familiar
with the concept.
It's taken directly
from your own history.
The worst of it.
You can't hand-pick
from our darkest moments
like Cambodia
or Nazi Germany.
Or Nanking, My Lai,
the trail of tears.
Professor Mason.
We can think of dozens
of more examples.
Be honest.
Oppression is in your nature.
And that is your justification
for the murder of billions?
If those atrocities
are the worst of us…
what does that make you?
The ones who will decide
if your world lives or dies.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Ben, I've been looking
for you.
I wanted to be by myself
for a while.
You heard
what happened, right?
Yeah. I know you didn't mean
to hurt dad.
You're going out again.
Got no choice.
[ Gun cocks ]
Pope and Anthony sent another
alien patrol our direction.
We don't ambush them
on our terms,
they could roll
right over us.
It's not fair!
I-I should be going
with you.
[ Sighs ]
you're nowhere near ready.
Because everyone keeps
treating me like a little kid.
I'm old enough to fight.
Old enough to know how,
at least.
How about this?
When I get back,
I'll see what I can do.
Sure you're up for this?
Skitters are coming,
whether we like it or not.
Hey, thanks, buddy.
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead. You first.
Wow. You sure know how
to impress a girl.
What's next –
his and her grenade launchers?
Who knows? I might do something
crazy like open a door for you.
Hey, Ben!
Hey, wait up!
Hey, I know what happened
with Dad was an accident,
but the next time
I give an order,
I need to know
you're gonna listen.
Whatever you say.
Hey. Hold up. Hey.
What's up, man?
I don't get you.
I mean, as much as he got
into it with Weaver,
Dad always understood
chain of command.
I'll follow your orders,
but you're not Dad, okay?
[ Engines rev ]
Pretty sweet spot
for wasting Skitters.
Put a shooter up on the roof
with a Barrett.
Yeah, a .50-Cal will put a hole
through anything.
Maybe get
a cross fire going
with that dry cleaner
right there.
While you kids
get that started,
me and the brain trust, we'll
get the cooties' attention.
We'll come back
to the north side.
[ Whirring ]
Hal: Get out of the truck!
Take cover!
Maggie: Get out of the truck!
Do it now!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Get down!
Not the Harley!
[ Whooshing ]
Pope! Stop! Stop!
[ Gun clicking ]
[ Explosion ]
[ Clicking continues ]
Come on, man.
Let it go, bro.
Let it go!
Come on!
[ Indistinct conversations ]
What the hell
went wrong?
Damned if I know.
Never even got off a shot.
They're onto us.
There's something else.
The way they kept laying fire
into the truck
after we bugged out –
it's like that was the target.
We know
they can pick up heat.
Could be the engine
is what got their attention.
First time
they've targeted vehicles.
First time for everything.
With these beamers
on constant patrol –
We're screwed and blued,
and you can kiss
this ambush plan goodbye.
If we can't run our trucks,
we're not mobile.
The Skitters got to know
we're close.
Won't be long before
they catch our scent.
you wanted to see me?
Dai tells me
that you're doing a fair job
of taking over for Scott.
He did?
I can only hope
he's right.
We think that the aliens have
recalibrated their beamers
to pick up the heat
coming off our vehicles.
Probably using
some infrared sensor.
As long as we stay put,
engines off, they can't see us.
Only that's not
an option.
Our patrols
just saw three alien units
all walking around out there,
all within five miles.
It's only a matter of time
before they nail us.
If we can't move our vehicles,
we lose our mobility,
and we lose most
of our supplies.
We need to find
a way to mask the heat
coming off those engines
long enough to put some distance
between us and those patrols.
Well, how far?
At least 20 miles.
20 miles?
That would mean keeping the engines
cooled out for at least an hour.
All right. I'll try.
You don't get points
for effort.
We don't find a way
to move those vehicles,
people are going to die.
No pressure.
I don't care
what you wanted from us.
There must have been a way
to get it peacefully.
You didn't even try to talk
to us before the attack.
This was never
a negotiation.
That's why we'll never stop
fighting you.
We have no patience
for empty bravado.
So those
are our alternatives –
live as prisoners or die?
Why would you expect
better from us
than you do
from yourselves?
Because I look
around this ship,
at the technology that
brought you from another world,
and I want to believe
that only an advanced species
could have
achieved so much.
But I would be wrong.
You will lead your people
to the neutral zone.
Then the choice
has been made.
I would be careful about drawing
too many lessons from the past.
Why is that?
Because our history
has yet to be written.
[ Electricity crackles ]
[ Screeching ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]
Tom Mason, 2nd Mass.
I didn't know
they had anybody else.
Neither did I.
Bonnie Garcia,
Vermont militia.
Bastards wanted me
to lead them to my guys,
talk them into buying
this sanctuary bull.
That's why they took us –
to finish what they started.
This isn't right.
[ Whirring ]
Oh, my God.
[ Whirring ]
[ Chitters ]
Everybody run!
Don't give it a target!
Woman: Run!
[ All screaming ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Weapon cocks ]
[ Chitters ]
[ Whirring ]
[ Thudding ]
Find your stance.
Lean forward a bit.
Hal: Hey, Ben!
What's Matt doing
with a gun?
Ben's teaching me
how to shoot.
Figured it was time.
He needs to learn
how to defend himself.
So you just gave him a rifle
without asking me?
I might have to follow
your orders on missions,
but not here.
Hal, wait!
Go back to camp, Matt.
Go back to camp.
You know, maybe he's ready,
maybe he's not,
but we both know
Dad didn't want that for him.
Three months ago. How do you
know what he'd say now?
I don't know
what he'd say right now,
and neither do you,
So how about we wait
and let Dad make that decision?
Only way we win this war
is by killing
every Skitter we see.
If Matt's old enough
to load a gun,
he's old enough
to shoot it.
After what happened
with Dad,
you think you're the best one
to be giving lessons?
I just don't want him
to be taken away
the way they took me.
Or your girlfriend,
[ Grunting ]
I'm not the math geek
you used to push around.
Deal with it.
[ Grunts ]
It's like I don't
even know him anymore.
[ Sighs ] Michigan.
[ Wind whistling ]
[ Crow caws ]
Teresa: Stop!
Jared: Quit struggling!
Stop! Get off of me!
I swear, if you don't let go of that bag,
I will shoot you!
Leave me alone! It's all we have left!
I will shoot you!
Do you understand?!
Every store within 20 miles
has been picked clean!
Please! Please!
[ Gun cocks ]
If I see you again,
I'll use this!
My name's Tom.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I just wanted
to see your bike.
No! It's mine!
Hey! Hey!
Stop it!
I'm not letting you
steal it!
Come on. Come on.
I'm sorry.
I should have asked.
[ Sobbing ]
Look, I know
that you're scared.
But I'm not
gonna hurt you.
If he comes back,
we don't want to be here.
We had a few cans of soup.
That's all.
Go ahead!
Take it and leave me alone!
You hang on to it.
I'm on my way
into Boston.
I left some people there –
friends and family.
They can help us.
Bike's yours, but I sure
would love to borrow it.
You can come with me.
That's hundreds of miles.
Oh, I know it.
I've been on foot
for weeks already.
So…what do you say?
Just remember
it's a loan.
And only
as long as I say.
And only if we don't
leave her like that.
[ Sniffles ]
Fair enough.
Anne: Captain.
I'll have the med bus packed
and ready to go in a half-hour.
How's Tom?
I need to know what happened
to him on that ship.
Ben and Lourdes are with him.
He's weak.
But if we have to move,
I think it's all right.
Dr. Glass!
Do you know anything
about scotch?
Some's good,
some's better.
I found this…
couple of stops back.
It's a Glenfiddich.
30 years old.
has good tastes.
If we have to run,
it's just dead weight.
Seemed like it'd be a shame
to waste it.
Maybe it's a sign –
Tom coming back.
How do you mean?
I mean that if I hadn't let him
get on that ship…
…if he'd been here,
he would have warned me
that we were
pushing our luck.
He would have warned me.
But he wasn't here.
Second-guessing doesn't change
where we are.
I think you're wrong.
I remember something
he told me once,
about making the price
of the occupation so high,
the aliens have to leave.
That was the idea.
He would have said your strategy
is risky but worth it.
And when he wakes up,
he's gonna be proud
we're still fighting.
Hell, he might even have
a historical anecdote
to put it all
in perspective.
Jamil: Captain.
What the hell is this?
It's light,
it's an insulator,
and these warehouses
are full of it.
We wrap our engines
with it,
we'll get a good hour
before it heats through.
I want people going
through every house,
every warehouse
on the block.
We're moving out A.S.A.P.
Ben: Dr. Glass?!
It's my Dad.
Something's wrong.
Let's go.
[ Sleepily ]
We're close now.
We got to keep going.
I don't know what happened.
He just started bleeding again.
I must have missed
a fragment.
He feels feverish,
We still have a few bottles
of I.V. antibiotic.
I'm sorry, Ben.
The school's only a few miles
that way.
But they'd be long gone
by now.
I've been seeing
a lot of airships
heading southwest
to Connecticut.
Could be
they went that way.
The woman we buried.
That was my mom.
I'm sorry.
You never told me why you
helped me out with that guy.
That's what people
are supposed to do.
Not anymore.
I don't believe that.
And I'd hope that someone
would do the same for my kids.
We were going
into the mountains,
trying to find
a place to hide.
I don't think that we can hide
from them anymore.
[ Bag zips ]
My middle son, Ben –
you'd like him.
He's about your age.
He's dead.
They're all dead.
That's what happens now.
The aliens find you,
and they kill you.
we kill them first.
Come on.
We got to keep going.
This engine-blanket thing
better work,
or we'll be wearing
this truck for a hat.
That's another thing.
When the hell did I become
a damn baggage handler?
[ Laughs ] I was gonna say
it kind of suits you.
Yeah, well, I'll tell you,
if I had any brains,
I'd steal one
of these rice rockets
and kiss Weaver's glorious
revolution goodbye.
Yeah, you try that,
and your brains
will be scattered
across two states, Pope!
You really are a true believer,
aren't you?
In killing Skitters,
Yeah, well, that's pretty,
but, uh, you know,
there's no law that says
you got to do it with me.
My merry ex-band of outlaws
wasted your buddy,
and yet here you are,
Tonto to my lone ranger.
Well, first, I think you got
that "Lone Ranger" thing
a bit backward.
And don't think
that I forgot about Click…
or when you patched me up
after we went in
on that alien structure.
I can't make sense
of either.
We all make mistakes.
Hal: Captain!
[ Laughs ]
Hal: Captain!
Hey, Cap! Incoming!
Anthony, where's Cap?
Right there.
Captain, we got a Mech convoy
about a mile away.
They're straight east.
They're coming this way.
We move that med bus now,
Tom's not gonna make it.
Convoy goes!
Medical stays with Dr. Glass
until she can stabilize Tom.
I need four volunteers
to stay with the bus
in case
the Skitters show.
You know I'm in.
Sounds good.
Make that three.
Gather all the ammo
you can carry.
Dai's got the map.
We wait for you 20 miles out.
Stay safe.
We're moving out, people!
Five minutes!
[ Whirring ]
All right, guys,
we got incoming.
we're gonna go dark.
There's something there.
I just
can't get ahold of it.
All right, guys,
we're gonna lay low
and hope the Mechs
pass us by.
Nobody shoot
unless I give the order, okay?
[ Thudding approaches ]
[ Whirring ]
Hal: Get down!
Not yet.
[ Groaning ]
we have to hold him steady.
[ Thudding ]
[ Whirring ]
I think I've got it.
[ Exhales sharply ]
Not much to it.
It was enough.
We can close now.
[ Thudding continues ]
[ Thudding departs ]
I think they're gone.
[ Sighs ] Oh, God.
[ Chuckles ]
I think that was
our lucky day, right?
[ Laughs ]
Come on. Let's go.
Hey, good job, man.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Brakes hiss ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Tires screech ]
[ Gunfire, explosions ]
This is bad.
We need to keep riding.
It's close.
I don't want to
be here anymore!
[ Weapons firing ]
That's Mech fire.
[ Gunshots ]
That's a shotgun.
That means
there's people.
You said when we started
it was just a loan.
Got to see
who's out there.
I'll come back
when I know it's safe.
My mom wanted to show me
the mountains.
I'm going there.
For her.
[ Gunfire, explosions continue ]
I hope you find
your family.
[ Engine revs ]
Weaver: Cease fire!
Save your ammo!
[ Gunfire stops ]
We got eight minutes, tops,
before those beamers respond!
So let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
[ Skitter growls ]
[ Screeches ]
[ Screams ]
[ Screeching ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
You're still here.
I never left, Tom.
You gave us
quite a scare.
You feeling all right?
My boys?
They're fine.
I should have
had faith…
that you'd come back
for them.
Not just for them.
[ Sniffles ]
It's okay.
Dad, I, uh…
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I know.
It was an accident.
Come here.
It doesn't matter.
All that matters now
is that we're together.
Oh. Ben, don't –
Look at what the cat
dragged in.
I missed you, old man.
I missed you, too.
I missed
all of you.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
– How you feeling?
– Like it's good to be home.
we should talk.
Plenty of time for that.
You just get better first.
A lot of people
will be glad to see you.
Welcome back, Tom.
Thanks, Dai.
Pope: Professor
happen to mention
how he, uh, busted out
of Skitter Central?
He did not.
[ chuckles ]
Man strolls

only to just come waltzing back

The library was recently awarded a $500 Books for Children grant from the Libri Foundation, a nationwide nonprofit that donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries in the United States through its Books for Children program.
To receive its $500 grant, the Ouray Public Library committed to raise an additional $250 in matching funds, for a total grant value of $750 to go toward the Libri Foundation's selection of children's books.
The fundraiser at O'Brien's Pub and Grill was a huge success, according to assistant librarian Maureen O'Driscoll.
"Between tips and donations, we easily met our $250 goal," she said. "The library raised an additional $543.35 above the needed amount for a total of $793.35 raised."
Now, Library Director Chris Reece is anxious to put the money to use.
"We're thrilled to receive this Libri Foundation grant," she said. "The grant comes at an essential time as we're working with fewer dollars in 2012 while trying to maintain our children's collection and offer the same level of children's reading programs."
Since October 1990, the Libri Foundation has donated more than $5 million worth of new children's books to more than 3,000 libraries in all 50 states.

Ohmic Losses and Temperature Distribution in a Passive PEM Fuel Cell
Model ID: 8553
In small PEM fuel cell systems (in the sub-100 W range) no active devices for cooling or air transport are normally used. This is due to the desire to minimize parasitic power losses from pumps and fans, and to reduce the system complexity, size, and cost. The reactants at the cathode are therefore transported by passive convection/diffusion. Also the heat dissipation occurs by passive transport mechanisms to the surrounding environment.
When designing the air side of a passive fuel cell the goal is to ensure an even current density and heat profile over the cell for various surrounding temperatures and current loads.
The holes in the cathode cover plate should typically be large in order to provide good reactant transport to the electrode, but the hole-to-solid material ratio may not be too large since the structural rigidity and electron conductivity of the plate also have to be maintained. Large air holes will also cause high local ohmic losses in the GDL. This example models the current density and heat profile over a passive PEM fuel cell.
This model was built using the following:Batteries & Fuel Cells Module

I am specifically looking for supplements that DO NOT contain aspertame or sucralose. I am *** feeding and I do not want to risk these getting into my milk supply. I know there is no research to prove it, but I am not going to wait for science to tell my years later that it does affect the infant. I'd rather play on the side of caution, but I still need to loose weight. Does anyone have any suggestions for meal replacements that do not have chemically altered sugar substitutes?
It is best to call EAS directly and they can assist you with your nutritional needs while *** feeding.1-800-297-9776, 8:30am-5:00pm Monday through Friday
As Lori suggested I would call EAS directly, but in my experience there are not many supps out their that don't contain some chemical or another.
Whole foods are best. I am a mom of 4 kids and at the time I "got serious" (I have worked out for 20 years but the heavy lifting and eating clean came after my 3rd), I only ate real food. No supplements at all. And when my third was born...my oldest was not even 4 yrs old and I did not have a live in nanny at the time. So it can be done! Just pre-planning and loads of organization...
Here are some suggested meals that are both real food, and VERY portable (trust me ;) )
-Oats or cream of wheat and egg whites
-fat free cottage cheese and a fruit
-fat free greek yogurt and some berries
-fat free plain yogurt mixed with cottage cheese and some berries with a touch of vanilla mixed in
-chicken/turkey *** or fish, veggies and brown rice or quinoa or sweet potato
-1 can tuna on EZ bread with veggies
-scrambled egg whites and a whole egg with veggies and seasoning in a whole wheat (Ezekiel) wrap
-chicken chili with kidney beans, canned diced tomatoes, zucchini, onions, peppers, mushrooms
-tuna/oat/egg patties
-yam cakes (sweet potato and egg whites with some cinnamon and fry it up)
-oat/egg pancake
I prepare a bunch of chicken b r e a s t s, or turkey, sweet potatoes, quinoa, salmon, tilapia etc and cook and portion out and freeze. Then in the am of that day I will take out all the pre-portioned containers/baggies/foil wrapped items I need for that day and put in fridge to defrost.
The chili is easy, saute the ground chicken and onions in bottom of pot, drain diced tomatoes and kidney beans, cut up the other veggies, throw them in the pot, cover and simmer...when done can portion out and freeze as well. The chili is a perfect protein (gr. chicken), carb (kidney beans), and veggie(all the veggies mentioned) meal!
This can totally be done sans supplements. They are good for convenience purposes yet if you feel strongly about the artificial stuff in them I suggest you go whole foods with diligent pre-planning. Write it down. Then make it happen. I know you can do this!
Good luck!
I'm sure EAS will be helpful, but this is a question best addressed to your doctor or your baby's pediatrician.
If it were me (and it was, three times) I would forgo the supplements and focus on lean protein, whole grains and lots of fresh veggies. Remember the extra calcium you need too. And don't cut back on calories too much -- between the demands of BFL and a nursing infant, you will be burning through them. Make each calorie count for both you and the baby.
Best wishes,
Want it. Plan it. Do it.

Electric Water Heater
w/ Heat Exchanger
Stainless Steel Jacket
Volt: 220v
Gallons: 6
Atwood's engineering, manufacturing and application expertise have been honed by time and the experience of supplying millions of water heaters to the recreation vehicle market for more than 30 years. Almost 20 years ago, Atwood applied this specialized knowledge to meet the needs of the marine industry. In doing so, we designed the water heaters that have become the standard in the boating industry.
Atwood water heaters have been designed not only to heat water quickly and efficiently, but to also deliver every ounce of usable hot water possible from the tank. Atwood water heaters perform reliably, assuring customer satisfaction and full use of hot water benefits designed in your pleasure boats.
Safe and efficient heat exchangers
To quickly heat water when under power, Atwood has developed efficient heat exchangers. Each heat exchanger is specifically designed for the water heater's capacity resulting in heat up times superior to competitive models. These heat exchangers ensure safety by using a unique double tube construction which prevents any possibility of engine coolant contaminating the fresh water system
Corrosion resistant construction
The casing of every Atwood electric water heater is constructed from corrosion resistant materials and the non stainless steel models are carefully painted to stand up against the most corrosive marine environments. Special attention to detail on edges and corners helps assure greater handling safety. The Atwood tank is constructed of high strength aluminum core with a bonded corrosion fighting cladding material on the interior surface to assure a long life. This eliminates the need for an anode and it's annual replacement.
Designed for installation flexibility
The cubic shape and lightweight aluminum-alloy tank offers greater flexibility for water heater location in floor plans.
All 220/vac models carry the CE mark and comply with ISO 8846 "Ignition Protection." A unit for installation in a 75 P.S.I. system is available, but the water volume will be slightly less than 150 P.S.I. models.
Atwood marine water heaters offer substantial weight savings
Through the years, Atwood has advanced the technology and the application of highly specialized aluminum alloys used in forming the tanks of our water heaters. This technology delivers superior tank life, while allowing us to maintain substantial weight savings over all competitive models and greater design flexibility in location of the water heater for boat manufacturers.

WORST PIZZA! Number 1 rated... Obviously they haven't had a rating in 7 years... Maybe in 05 it was good.. I had it in 2012.. Disgusting reheated cracker pizza. Sauce was bland, ingredients did not taste like anything. Wife and I ate 3 slices together. Hawaiian, Supreme and a slice of Pepperoni. They all had same boring flavor. Service was poor and got an attitude to get a refill on my drink.
Employee Reponse to Review Below – Hello everyone, I'm the employee "Matthew" mentioned in this review. I actually vividly remember this incident. Let me explain what happened.
It was a Thursday morning lunch shift, and someone called in. It was a cook doing pizza and then myself doing everything else. On a regular Thursday, our lunch rush was usually quite large, and being shortstaffed obviously doesn't help. Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant can relate I'm sure!
When the man placed the order, he ordered three specials. Each special was a slice of pizza, a half sub, an entree, etc etc and then usually a side salad and drink. Because the website was actually run and operated when we were owned by a previous owner, the menu was out of date. It was restaurant policy that when someone ordered specials over the phone, we repeat what the specials are, so the are aware that the specials online are no longer the specials in the store. The man failed to mention this in the review. Everything he ordered I ran past him again, to avoid error. If he was not paying attention, then I cannot be blamed.
Yes, when he came in and we had a different order than what he believed to have called in, I did inform him that we were busy. What he again failed to mention was that I told him that's why it would take extra time for us to make what he had originally thought to have ordered. We aimed to satisfy our customers when we were in business. But if we are short on staff and in the middle of a rush, we need to have priorities. I explained this to him.
The drink situation I don't remember as much, but more than likely I was busy and did fill up his drinks less than full. I apologize for that. What should be mentioned however was that only two of the specials technically came with drinks. The other one I threw in as a way of (in theory) making him less upset about the order taking extra time. I told him that I would fill up the other cup after I made rounds to the tables (of which I should mention all eleven tables were filled). I never told him I was too busy to do it.
Yes, mistakes were made. But for this man to not understand that only two people were working in a packed restaurant is absurd. Unfortunately, it happens. For him to be upset about this forever is going a bit too far, I think.
I worked at D'Amore's for quite awhile and was the last one to leave on our last day. Read the other reviews. Most seem to have thought quite highly of our service, and we did pride ourselves on being much friendlier and personal then the bigger chains. This was simply a bad day. regardless of this man being unhappy, almost everyone who came in loved our food and service. That's how every other reviewer seems to remember us, at least.
Thank you. Rest in peace D'Amore's.
Avoid the nasty hair in my salad and the rudest employees in the world – I went to the website and ordered of the online menu. Called it in and when I got there, they said that it is an old website. I said I understand and paid for the overpriced food. I got the wrong order and on one of the 3 orders I placed, When asked if they can fix it, The employee Mathew says they are very busy. I said I didnt care but wanted to enjoy what I ordered.
The cook had an attitude and probably put the hair in the salad on purpose. Mathew then filled our soda up about 70% percent of the way on all 3 drinks. Asked him to fill them up, he rolled his eyes and filled up 2. Then he said he was too busy to fill up the 3rd. He finally did after I was about to make a huge scene.
I can't believe they allow people like this to work at restaurants. Now nobody at my job will ever go there again. I'm going to be upset forever about this.
Always Exceptional – We love their pizza and Chopped Salad. Most of the time we have our food delivered, but when we have eaten at the restaurant, the service has been terrific, and the staff is always so cordial and friendly. D'Amore's has never been a bad experience. Highly recommended!
Best in Vegas – We recently moved to Las Vegas and are always looking for great places to eat. This one fits perfect. Their pizza is absolutley wonderful. After finding them we don't get pizza anywhere else. Try it and we bet you won't be disappointed.
Best Pizza in America – The BEST pizza I have ever had. Period. I ordered one slice of the supreme pizza, and after the first bite I almost started to cry it tasted so good. I didn't know it was possible to feel so much emotion over a slice of pizza but it's true. Everything about the pizza is great, but what makes it extraordinary is the crust--simply amazing. I've never had anything like it--so thin, crispy, and flaky at the same time.
Great, Great, Great!!! (gutty stinks) – Best pizza anywhere? Maybe. Best pizza in Vegas? Definitely! Absolutely worth the drive from the Strip.
Wonderful – Great food! Good atmosphere... The pizza crust was definately the best we've ever had. The service was wonderful. Highly recommended.
Best pizza I have ever had. – This was the best pizza I have ever tasted. The crust was crisp, not soggy. The toppings were fresh and delicious. The service was excellent and the people were friendly. This is the first time I have ever written a review for a restaurant, but the food was so good I wanted to tell everyone about my experience.
Healthy AND Delicious? – I love love LOVE D'Amore's! From the plain cheese to the Pizza Bianca, everything is delish! I can't wait to order from them tonight!

If you were invisible, you'd attend premieres on Clooney's arm (unbeknownst to him), carry your dog (so onlookers think he's flying), and lounge in rich people's apartments.
At Fair Folks & a Goat, you can do the latter — no superpowers required.
The appointment-only boutique/tea salon/art gallery is in a beautiful, address-undisclosed UES apartment next to the park — and every single thing in it is for sale, from one-of-a-kind antique furnishings to clothes from Archive Vintage.
Cofounder/curator Aurora Stokowski, featured in today's video, hopes it will become a place for friends to congregate, shop, learn new things, and meet cool people.
All you have to do is e-mail her to get the shop's address.
And show up in the flesh.

Shiny forehead, freak grimace, bulging eyes — you've got an uncanny ability to ruin a photo. And thanks to Facebook tagging, the entire world can witness your awkward mugging until the end of time.
You could avoid cameras altogether. Or you could just watch today's video, with its simple tips for looking great in pictures.
Our expert, Sardi Klein, longtime NYC photographer and professor at The School of Visual Arts and Pratt, has seen it all, from mothers of the bride who peer skyward to avoid double chins to businessmen whose phony smiles turn head shots into mug shots.
Follow her advice, and the next time someone tags you in a photo, you might just share instead of hide.

Ring in 2011 with at least a little dignity by avoiding the drunken late-night ponytail. You can stay classy all night long with the perfect messy bun, courtesy of NYC's Fox & Boy salon (and one of our favorite how-to videos of the year).
Because even if you want to be a hot mess, your hair doesn't have to be.
Not feeling the messy bun? Try out the around-the-head French braid, modern beehive, or pinned-up curls (for shorter hair).
At your last mealtime gathering, you did everything right: big, pricey steaks; fancy-schmancy china; stimulating conversation cards (what's your animal soul mate?!).
No wonder the whole thing was so awkward.
Next time, take a cue from Tamara Reynolds and Zora O'Neill, the hilarious Astoria-based hostesses with the mostest behind Forking Fantastic: Put the Party Back in Dinner Party.
