Silent Boarding, MoviePass, Looper
by Orson Scott Card
October 04, 2012
Last week, taking a flight on Alaska Airlines from Los Angeles to Seattle, I found myself taking part in an experiment in "silent boarding." Agents entered into a laptop the cellphone numbers of ticketholders on that flight. You could then watch for announcements on prominently placed electronic signs, or you could wait for a notice to be sent to your phone as a text message.
The problem was that there were no audible announcements of pre-boarding, which is usually the signal to put away your laptop or book and get ready to board when your section is called.
Thus I had to keep checking my watch to see how much time I had left, keeping me from fully concentrating on writing last week's column for this paper. I couldn't really see what was happening at the gate, so when the official boarding time neared, I packed up and moved near the gate.
This early clotting near the gate is one of the problems silent boarding is supposed to alleviate. Instead, it was as bad as ever.
When I saw the overhead announcement for my group to board, six people lined up ahead of me. That was fine the plane leaves at the same time for everyone. The problem was that I had not yet received the promised text message. What if I had been relying on that as my only notice? Only when the agent was actually scanning my ticket did I finally get the text message.
If all the gates had been practicing silent boarding, it would have been lovely to enjoy the quiet; only the Seattle flight out of LAX was involved in the experiment, however, and so we did not really have that much less background chat.
Meanwhile, I had no reason for confidence in timely notices, and my lack of confidence was justified in the event. Had I waited for the text message, I would not have been able to pack up my computer and reach the gate before the group after mine began to board. Since the seats had unusually small spaces under them, and I had to stow my laptop bag overhead, the delay might have resulted in real inconvenience in having no overhead space by the time I got on, since I was counting on being able to use my computer in flight.
Add to that the fact that it is often easy to miss the arrival of a text, unless you have your phone set to a loud alert, and we might have ended up with an amazing number of cellphone alarms going off at the same time. Would that be better than the regular loudspeaker announcements? Or would it merely be a change from one noise to another, along with an increase in uncertainty, anxiety and inconvenience in the boarding process?
At the moment, then, I must cast a vote against silent boarding.
Speaking of experiments, there's a new company called MoviePass, which offers what amounts to a monthly fee for unlimited theatrical movie attendance.
You pay a flat monthly fee, ranging from $24.99 to $39.99 per month (based on local area ticket prices; the national average is $29.99). You're given a special movie card, which you use to buy a regular, full price ticket at the box office or kiosk.
You also have to have your cellphone with you, because the card is linked to an app. If your cellphone isn't within a hundred feet of the theater when you try to use the card, the card won't work.
This is how they prevent people from using a single MoviePass to pay for a dozen different people. They're assuming correctly that cellphones are so personal and indispensable that most people won't lend their phone along with their MoviePass card.
The theaters are getting the full ticket price, so the fact that you're paying MoviePass a flat monthly fee has nothing to do with them. They get their money.
So how does MoviePass make money?
The same way gyms profit from memberships. Most people don't actually use their gym memberships very much. They pay for a year, show up a few times, and that's it.
Those of us who do use our gym memberships (or I did, anyway, before Gold's bought out my local gym and closed it down That's why I will never go to Gold's, not just because their location is too far for me to run or bike to, but also because I think this is an evil business practice) are getting a great bargain, because we are subsidized by all the people who pay but don't come.
MoviePass is charging you for the convenience having prepaid, you can always afford to go to the movies. Some months there might be six movies you want to see, and you save money. Other months, there'll be nothing, or maybe just one; for that month, you lose money.
It spreads your movie-attendance costs over a whole year, and MoviePass is betting that most people won't use the full number of tickets they pay for.
So is it a rip-off? Absolutely not. You know what they charge; you decide whether to go to the movies; it's entirely up to you whether they profit from you or you profit from them.
It's like movie insurance. You're betting there'll be a lot of movies you want to see; they're betting that the movies will suck and you won't go. Given how movies get scripted and green-lighted, they'll probably win. But you always have the convenience of knowing your movie tickets are prepaid.
It's like paying for HBO and other premium cable channels. How much do you actually watch their offerings? Do you get your money's worth? I do because I pay every month in case there's something I want to watch.
The trouble is, you can't just buy it. You have to be invited to sign up.
This is smart, because otherwise they'd be flooded with sales to people who will use the MoviePass seven times a month, and they'll go broke right away.
Instead, it has to spread socially. They have a hundred thousand members or so. Each of them can invite "ten more movie lovers." During the Christmas season, MoviePass is going to "do a big push to encourage people to make MoviePass a gift for friends and neighbors, pre-loaded for a month, 90 days or a year for all-you-can-watch theater attendance, with a limit of one movie a day" (Hollywood Reporter, Oct. 3, 2012, page 2).
It's a gift I'd love to give to other people I have a list of 10 in mind already. But I'm not a member, so I can't. So if anybody from MoviePass reads this column, do yourselves a favor and let me buy my own pass now, without waiting for somebody else to invite me. I'll have half my Christmas shopping done in a few minutes.
So maybe that invitation-only policy isn't such a great idea after all. National Geographic used to do that, too I would have subscribed for years, but nobody invited me.
(And to any friends of mine who are MoviePass subscribers, don't give me a gift card. Just give me an invitation. I'll buy my own!)
Looper is a brilliant sci-fi movie. One of the best ever. I'm glad I saw it.
But I'm not sure I ever want to see it again.
It's so powerful and raw and brutally real, and I cared so much about the characters, and the moral situations were so complicated and fascinating and painful that the experience can be devastating.
The ending is perfect. It took my wife and me completely by surprise, and yet it was the only viable choice.
...continued on
page 2
...continued from
page 1
And it's almost impossible to talk about the movie, mostly because sci-fi plots always sound so stupid when you don't have two hours to set everything up and make it feel completely plausible.
Also, I can hardly tell you anything about the story without giving things away.
What I can tell you without spoiling anything is that this is one of Bruce Willis' best performances ever.
Because Willis does such a good job of portraying wise-cracking, too-cool-to-live characters, he often isn't taken seriously as an actor. But he has the full range, and he always has.
This isn't a too-cool part. Willis plays the part of an aging hit man who has killed and killed and killed. But in the last five years of his life, he found love and a kind of redemption, and then suddenly an old debt came due and he loses everything.
It's not that he wants it back. He knows he can't actually get it back. He just wants to undo a terrible harm that was done to a good, innocent person in the process of the debt collection.
Which brings us to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is one of the best young actors working. Gordon-Levitt plays the same character as Willis only 30 years younger. Old Joe and Young Joe.
Gordon-Levitt is generous enough as an actor that he is willing to hide his face he wears several prosthetics to make him believable as a younger version of Bruce Willis. Doesn't matter it does not interfere with his brilliant performance.
Never have two actors played the same character with such perfect equality. Both of them face terrible moral choices; both of them get to explore a wide range of emotions and responses; we completely understand both of them and yet dread the terrible things we know they're going to do.
There are also wonderful performances by Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Piper Perabo, and above all Jeff Daniels as a world-weary old criminal boss.
It is impossible not to mention the best performance by an actor under the age of 10, perhaps ever. Pierce Gagnon doesn't enter the movie until quite late, but the entire emotional truth of the movie rests on his performance. He is up to the task.
Writer-director Rian Johnson did everything right. It's his vision from beginning to end. Not only is the script exceptionally clear and powerful, but also Johnson works with actors and draws superb performances from them.
When you can work with a child actor and get the results Johnson got from Gagnon, you really are the kind of actor's director that Woody Allen and Martin Scorcese are only purported to be.
Time travel stories are usually full of contradictions and paradoxes. The rule set chosen for this one has a couple of logical weak spots, but nothing as laughable as the "fading photograph" from Back to the Future.
My wife and I talked it through afterward, and no, there are no internal contradictions. They live by the rules they chose.
If there's a flaw, it's a small one: Looper suffers from Delaware Syndrome. That is, there's an entire future world with all the variety of the state of Delaware. We have to buy the premise that the only people using time travel are criminals, and they only use it for one purpose, and everybody who matters lives in one city within an easy car ride of everyone else.
But it's OK movies are short stories, and they take place in compressed universes. We don't miss the wider world because it's not relevant to the tale being told.
Also, there's some pointless nudity and completely unnecessary F-words. But they don't last long. The movie would have had an R rating anyway, because of the casual brutality and really savage things that happen. This movie is not light-hearted. I can't even say it's "fun." It's just powerful and brilliant.
That's all I can tell you without committing a semi-spoiler. But there is a seeming contradiction that may be confusing, and I want to clear it up for you now, so you don't wonder about what's real and not-real when you watch the movie.
If you hate it when people give away anything vital about a plot, stop reading this column now. But if you like it when people warn you about confusing bits so you can sail right through them, then keep reading. I won't give away any actual surprises.
There are a couple of times in the movie when we're shown the consequences of a choice Joe is about to make. That is, we flash forward to what he believes will happen, so we can understand why he makes the choice he makes.
One such flash-forward happens very near the end. It's quite clear that this is what would happen, but hasn't yet, so we absolutely understand what he does next.
But early on in the movie, there's a time when we seem to see the same event twice. In this one case, however, it really happened twice.
It's not a flash-forward, it's just that because of time travel, we come to the same moment twice, only the second time, one character behaves differently, which changes everything.
Specifically: Young Joe works as a hit man a looper. When a victim is sent back in time by future criminals, for a looper to murder him and dispose of the body, a load of silver bars is attached to the victim. The looper keeps the silver and spends it (or saves it, or gives it away).
But when a looper "closes his loop," they send back his own future self. This time, when he kills the person himself as an old coot the young looper is paid off in gold bars.
Then he's done. That was his last job.
He then has 30 years or so to live on that gold, until his time runs out and he is forced to go back in time and be murdered by his younger self.
The first time around, Young Joe kills his future self, closes his loop, and then lives for 30 years. He did it without hesitation but it also makes him miserably unhappy, as you might imagine.
So when, as Old Joe (Bruce Willis), he is sent back, he changes his behavior and doesn't get killed. Thus he diverges from the timeline that created the version of himself that made this choice.
Under one set of time travel rules, this would simply not be possible. Any change you make changes everything; Old Joe, by changing what Young Joe does, makes it so Old Joe could never exist as the person that he is.
But Looper is working under the rule set in which causality has inertia.
If your older self kills your younger self, then of course, you're dead, so you couldn't exist and you couldn't kill yourself so it didn't happen the rule against that paradox is preserved.
Any injury your young body sustains does show up as a scar or maiming of your old body.
Other, lesser changes, though, don't change everything. Causality "wants" to flow in the old channel, so your memories of events aren't immediately erased as long as there remains a chance that they might still happen.
Your memories start to get foggy as things change, but you can still hold on.
As a movie-goer, though, all that matters is that both versions of that scene are real within the movie. They both happened. The first one, where Young Joe kills his old self, results in Young Joe getting all that gold and then leading a life of continuing crime and addiction, turning Young Joe into Old Joe.
...continued on
page 3
...continued from
page 2
The second time through the scene, though, Old Joe has a new agenda. He saves his own life and then sets out to prevent a terrible thing that happens to the world in the future that he comes from.
Young Joe has to close the loop he has to kill Old Joe or they'll hunt Young Joe down and use him to force Old Joe to come back. (We're given a cruel demonstration of how that works.)
The whole movie depends on our understanding that everything has already happened once; this is the second time through (for Old Joe) and this time it's different, and he means to make it even more different.
All I have done here is clarify: I haven't even begun to tell you the cool stuff and absolutely-right discoveries we make along the way.
But you can't turn off your brain for a second. Everything matters. Things we learn transform the meaning of all the scenes we've already seen.
If you're looking for mindless adventure sci-fi, this isn't the movie. If you're looking for morally deep, challenging storytelling, though, you've hit the jackpot.

One has to wonder, though, how long it will take the theaters to add MoviePass to the "No Free Passes" list, so that you have to wait a month or two to see the movie you want.
October 14, 2012 | 09:06 PM
I finally found an opportunity to watch the movie Looper with my mother this past weekend and we disagreed (as we usually do) on the morality of choices made by characters in movies.
We both agreed that Old Joe and Young Joe were different characters formed by different experiences. However, my mother thinks they were redeemed by the end, while I think only young Je was redeemed.
Let me take each viewpoint at a time (though you must take into account my initial bias and add points to my mother's opinion since, were she to explain it, it would be clearer). She says both Young and Old Joe were redeemed in the end. She claimed that Old Joe was willing to kill two innocent children in order to kill the one who would turn to be a "monster" later. Old Joe was therefore sacrificing his own peace of mind in order to save many lives in the future. It was obvious how Young Joe was redeemed but she said it was only possible because Old Joe was there (another reason why Old Joe was ulimately good).
I disagreed with both points. Old Joe was willing to kill two children and yes, he did show regret and pain with his choice. Except, he chose - not to wait and observe over time - but to kill immediately. And if his reasoning was mostly because he wanted to save his wife and not give her up at the same time...well, he should have given her up and not have to make that terrible choice. I think Young Joe was redeemed only because Old Joe was there - but that doesn't make Old Joe good. Going through terrible ordeals might change you for the better, but it doesn't imply that the ordeal was a "good thing." Old Joe damned himself and perhaps he sacrificed his morality to save the future, knowing he was sacrificing himself. So maybe that does make him a good person. I think there is a line you cross between right and wrong and that there are varying degrees on both sides. So perhaps, Old Joe is less wrong on the "murder wrongness" because he also was right in the "sacrifing himself for others rightness" but he's still wrong.
In the end, my mother and I were both very frustrated with each other. Since we couldn't convince the other, we had a good laugh and talked about how glad we were to have seen this movie.
And since you wrote such a terrific review of looper, we went with high expectations to see it - instead of Hotel Transylvania.

Edward, a nomad killer vampire, alone for more than three centuries, comes upon his next prey in the form of talk back radio psychologist and dabbler in the dark side of human nature, Bella Swan. Darkward, kinky Bella. Rated NC-17 for violence, lemons and BDSM themes.
Thank you to Christag Banners for my wonderful story banner!
Bella is new to Forks High and has been paired up with the school's smarty-pants jock (hey, it happens occasionally). The All-State Wrestler isn't going to know what hit him once he gets his head out of his butt and realizes that his geek-girl lab partner is pretty freaking awesome. The Wrestlerward Cometh! Mostly BPOV's fluffy, silly romance interspersed with witty banter. The NC17 rating is due to some underage drinking and some lewd teenage behavior. NO LEMONS due to my lack of ability in writing them. I repeat, NO LEMONS. It's those darn teens doing illegal stuff!
Thank you to payday00 for the banner!!!
If he could go back in time & change the one decision that shattered Bella's faith, trust, & love, Edward would do it in a heartbeat. All he can do now, though, is live with the decisions he's made & try to earn back what he blindly threw away. A story about the lives we change with the choices we make. AH, OOC, E/BPOV, rated R for language & mild violence.
Gorgeous banner was created by don'tcallmeLeeLee from Printing Paws. Thank you!

Lord Jacob Black, Earl of Wolf's Bridge must find a wife before the month's end or his father, William, Duke of La Push will disinherit him. They have been long estranged and in hopes of making Jacob become more serious his father has made this ultimatum.
Renesmee is a girl raised in a completely different world. She resides in the most exclusive brothel in all of London. She has finally gotten to the age where she can earn her keep and her virginity is about to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Her fate as a "dove" seems sealed. But Renesmee caught the attention of Jacob from the time she was six years old. He was charmed by the imp who fell from a tree and into his life.
Jacob has seen to it that Ness was educated and looked after. Until he went off to war. Two years later he returns to a father who is ill and demanding his marriage. He also discovers his "little bird" is about to become what he tried to prevent. When he goes to rescue his friend from becoming a harlot he discovers she is no longer a child.
Could Ness be the answer to Jacob's prayers? Could she be the woman who will share his life and his bed without the complication and trap of love?
Or will Ness demand that Jacob face his demons and fully accept not only her body, but her heart as well?
Major Jasper Whitlock was an officer and a soldier. He served valiantly in the American Civil War, until his disappearance. This is the story of one memory he lost during his transition from mortal to vampire. Fanon, history.
The chances of a vampire finding the one human in the world whose blood sings to them so strongly as to challenge their very being are so small that most vampires never find theirs. When Edward Cullen was over a century old, he found his, and against all odds, he fell in love with her. Fifteen years after his mate Bella was changed into a vampire, she found hers. And it nearly drove her crazy. Edward worried it would one day become her undoing. Either way, it was seven against one when Bella tried to claim the infant's blood for her own. Not even her brother-in-law Jasper would stand aside to give her what she wanted.
Bella finds her singer, but it's not someone anyone expects. And no one expects it to nearly tear her and Edward apart. But the Volturi find out, and danger ensues.
Not too many warnings with this one, but it's Post-Breaking Dawn and as close to canon as I can make it with a few exceptions. It's rated Mature for implied adult situations, but nothing explicit.
We'll also be switching POV's, but there will be consistency eventually.
Banner made by me using several resources. Thanks for reading!
Bella gets the chance to do things over. Should she trust the family that abandoned her? Should she date the guy that broke her heart? How much can she change without changing who she is?
I hadn't liked 17-year-old boys even when I was 17. So what is it about Edward Cullen that's so compelling? Whatever it is, I can't afford to find out.
After a terrible shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea, Isabella Swan, marquise de Courville, her two best friends, and her loyal servants are rescued, but only to become slaves and serve the Volturi brothers, three men with very dark desires. Will Edward let Bella suffer in their hands or will he try to save her? On what side does he stand ? All Human. Domward. Canon pairings.
Thanks to the amazing maimu[velvetkitten] for this awesome banner.
Can two broken people help each other mend? Maybe with the help of friends and family they can be just what the other needs. The horrific back stories of Mara and Emmett have left them hurt and afraid to open up to others, Will the instant attraction lead to happiness again?

Italy, 1516. Jane and Alec are unjustly accused and burned at the stake. For some miracle, they survive and Aro turns them into vampires. This story thells the relationship between the twins, specifically Jane, and their Master. They're not the monsters the world claims them to be.
THIS STORY IS OFFICIALLY BACK FROM HIATUS! KelseyJane AND I FINISHED OUR COLLABORATION AND NOW I AM GOING TO KEEP MY PROMISE! AT LONG LAST MY DEARS, ENJOY! :)
The Almost is a tale of what could have been. However, many people forget who these characters really are, and what it feels like to be seventeen. So accompany me on this multiple point of view adventure, as we are taught about life and lessons from the almost-loves.

Bella is a good girl, raised to know her place in the church and society. She's always waited for her soul mate, pledging her virginity for that one man. But when Pastor Cullen comes into her life, he changes everything she's ever known. Is it possible to find a soul mate in such a sinful way, or will she have to take up her cross and press on?

"There's always a bigger fish."

Bella left Edward and everything she knew in Forks ten years ago. She knew he would never leave the MC, but circumstances drew her far away to accomplish her dreams. When Bella returns under somewhat mysterious circumstances, Forks will never be the same. AH. Tattward/Bikerward. Think Twilight meets Sons of Anarchy.
Thanks to the awesome maimu[velvet kitten] for the amazing banner
During the summer of 1966, best friends, Emily Russo and Camille Caravelli, find love at first sight with two boys , Emmett McCarty and James Hightower, at the beach. They are all 'Trust Fund' babies.
A lot of history happens ie: Viet Nam, Peace Rallies, the British invasion, and these 'good girls' are tempted. Will they succumb to their virgin hormones? This was the beginning of The Age of Aquarius...Free love and flower power.
When first love goes from wonderful to tragic, embodying every other emotion in between, it becomes nearly impossible to get over. Bella discovers just how difficult a love eternal can be.

Time Won't Let Me Go
Featuring: Bella & Jacob, along with Seth, Leah, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Alice, Rosalie & the entire cast of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga characters. No copyright infringement is intended.
Jacob Black, an Olympic boxing hopeful, dreams to be great. Bella Swan, a lifetime romantic, dreams to be his. After an unexpected tragedy occurs, everyone close to them is left pondering the outcome. Starts at the awkward ages of preteens & follows through to young adulthood.
Rated NC-17 for some strong language and minor adult themes.
Timing is everything. What if Bella arrived in Forks during the summer before Senior year instead of the middle of Junior year? What if Bella had spent the summer with Jake before starting school? How would things have changed if there had been no Biology class with Edward? No incident with James? No papercut on her 18th birthday? What if Edward had never left?
What If?
Now a contributor to the Bella and Jacob Chronicles! Thank you so much to Diamondheart for including this story in her amazing series!
I just wanted to get home from my latest business trip. But with layovers and flight delays, it was taking much longer than I had planned.
What could I do to occupy my time? A quick trip to the airport shop and a conversation with a stranger and my whole outlook on things took a turn for the better.
Divorced Bella meets widowed Edward one afternoon in a Laundromat, and an instant attraction results. When you meet your soulmate after your spouse dies, do you allow yourself fall in love again?
When Edward Cullen's sister Alice dies of cancer, she leaves two things to him: a letter and a list. In her letter, she tells Edward that she knows his soul mate is out there somewhere, and all he needs is a little guidance to find her. Always having had a gift for being insightful, Alice writes a list of qualifications that his true soul-mate will possess. Respecting his sister's wishes, Edward sets out to find his true love—a young woman named Bella Swan.

This cup needs to come with the sleeves that protect the users hands, it gets really hot. It is a very sturdy cup though.
Good for coffee or drinks already heated
By Amanda Soto
from Commerce, CA
The overall product is good for coffee use.However found these cups arent good for heating.Tried to make hot cocoa and the bottom of the cup burns. If your drinks are already heated this is a good product. If your looking to heat up your liquid then this isnt the product for you.

Forums >Health and Nutrition>Why is diet Coke addicting?
Another problem with artificial sweeteners is a reflex that occurs when the brain reacts to sweet taste. The jargon used is "cephalic phase response". When sweet taste stimulates the tongue, the brain programs the liver to prepare for acceptance of new energy--sugar--from outside. If it is indeed sugar that stimulates the response, the effect on the liver will be the proper regulation of that sugar which has entered the body. However, if sweet taste is not followed by real nutrient availability, an urge to eat will be the outcome. It is the liver that produces the signals and the urge to eat. The more sweet taste that stimulates the taste buds without the accompanying calories, the more there is an urge to eat--overeat. The effect of cephalic phase response to sweet taste has been clearly shown in animal models with the use of saccharin. Using aspartame, several scientists have shown a similar urge to overeat in humans. Blundel and Hill have shown that non-nutritive sweeteners (aspartame in solution) will enhance appetite and increase short-term food intake. They report: "After ingestion of aspartame, the volunteers were left with a residual hunger compared with what they reported after glucose. This residual hunger is functional, it leads to increased food consumption." Another group of researchers, Tardoff and Friedman, have shown that this urge to eat more food after artificial sweeteners can last up to 90 minutes. They showed that even when blood levels for insulin achieved normal levels (a high reading of insulin is believed to be the cause of hunger), test animals consumed more food than the control batch. What this means is that the "brain" retains for a long time the urge to eat when the taste buds for sugar are stimulated without sugar having entered the system.
My brother insists that SJP and Dee Snyder (he of "Twisted Sister" fame) are the same person.

Marine cuisine: The last several months have been eventful, to say the least, for the folks at Alexander's Steakhouse. The Michelin-starred steakhouse took over the old Trader Vic's space in Palo Alto this summer -- then endured a major staff shake-up last month that sent Alexander's original visionary chef Jeffrey Stout out the door. They've plowed ahead, nonetheless, and last weekend marked the big opening of The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse, with a haute seafood-centric menu crafted by executive chef Yu Min Lin.
The venue has gotten a dramatic face-lift with a cool palette of light blues and grays, private dining rooms and a pricey menu that blends Japanese influences with California ingredients. Lin, a Japanese-trained chef, hails from Los Angeles' two-starred Providence restaurant. Here, his opening menu includes appetizers ($10-$18) such as hamachi shots with truffled ponzu and Togarashi tuna tataki, and entrees ($31-$65) such as wild Alaskan poached halibut with fresh peas, Meyer lemon and shimeji mushrooms, and Maple Leaf Farms Muscovy duck with bacon and cabbage.
The restaurant is open from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and 5 to 9 p.m. on Sundays at 4269 El Camino Real; theseausa.com.

NEWBURGH, N.Y. -- A short circuit in underground wiring is being blamed for several manhole explosions Sunday in Newburgh. That's according to a spokesperson for Central Hudson.
The explosions forced many residents and businesses to evacuate the area. It happened Sunday afternoon along Broadway and some of the adjacent streets.
Nine buildings lost power as part of the explosion, and windows in one building were shattered. Central Hudson and local fire departments both responded to the scene. The mayor says the evacuations were taken as a precaution to keep residents safe.
"We're now evacuated this entire area. We are trying to keep people out. Nobody's hurt. We have had a couple of explosions. It isn't necessarily gas explosions, it's vapors that have been down in the trenches," said Mayor Judy Kennedy.
Residents were allowed back into their homes Sunday afternoon and power was fully restored.

Standard benefits include health and dental insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), and oftentimes retirement plans.
The profile for employee benefit plan includes information that is pertinent to an employees' benefits including (date of birth/age, smoker/non-smoker, marital status, dependants, salary, etc.) When/if any one of these details changes, it may affect the current benefits that the employee receives (e.g., life insurance amount).
Benefits are generally handled by a third-party insurance firm (e.g., Cobra). The benefits administration functionality provides administrators the ability to manage employee benefits through the use of a third-parties' software or system. Benefits administration includes accessing and imputing new employee records, changing an existing employees' record, as well as cancelling a terminated employees' benefit profile.

Kingston middle schoolers bring anti-bullying message to younger counterparts
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Three students from J. Watson Bailey Middle School told three fourth-grade classes at Harry L. Edson Elementary School on Wednesday that, as the pupils get older, they will be confronted with bullying in school more frequently.
The Bailey students were representing Project Peace, a group that strives to reduce bullying at the middle school.
Member Angelica Naccarato, an eighth-grader, said she thinks Project Peace has made a difference at Bailey but that bullying continues to be pervasive in middle school.
Naccarato, Trinity Luther and Victoria Marsh spoke to fourth-graders at Edson — which is across the street from Bailey — because, under a plan recently approved by the Kingston school board, fifth grade will part of the district's two middle schools starting in 2013-14. Currently, J. Watson Bailey and M. Clifford middle schools house grades six through eight.
Naccarato said she hoped to convince incoming middle schoolers to think about bullying differently and to know what to do if they encounter the behavior, either directly or as a bystander.
Asked by the Bailey students about their impressions of bullying, Edson students offered that the behavior is selfish. One pupil said it is "bad for the environment," and another said students can be targeted because of skin color.
Bullying can come in many forms, the Project Peace students told the Edson pupils, ranging from overt, physical intimidation to excluding peers from social circles. Also, the group said, bullies come in all shapes and sizes.
Naccarato told the fourth-graders that telling someone his or her shirt is ugly is rude, but picking on a peer about her clothing every day is bullying.
Luther, a seventh-grader, cited national statistics in telling the fourth-graders that one in four youths will be bullied and that 160,000 students miss school each year out of fear of being victimized by bullies.
Marsh, an eighth-grader, said victims of bullying can see their grades slip, experience depression or attempt to hurt themselves as they struggle to cope. To explain depression to the elementary school students, Marsh cited the "Winnie the Pooh" character Eeyore. Continued...
When students see others being bullied, ways to help include befriending someone who is being targeted and telling an adult, the Bailey students said. They told the younger students that "reporting" is intended to help someone else, whereas "tattling" is intended to get someone in trouble.
The Bailey students also spoke about cyberbullying, and they were somewhat troubled to learn that about half of the roughly 65 fourth-graders at Edson already have Facebook accounts.
The Bailey students told their younger counterparts that bullies often are insecure themselves. Often, the group said, bullies are having trouble at home or are targets of other bullies.
When someone copes with being bullied by targeting another, Naccarato said, it perpetuates a cycle.
The result, she said: "We're all miserable."

Can anyone tell me why the endomorphism ring of a finite-length module is artinian? Bonus points if you can do it without using the radical, semisimplicity, Fitting's lemma or anything fancy. If you have to or it makes the proof easier, that's OK too, but I have reason to believe that there's a simple proof (namely Dennis and Farb give this as an exercise in Chapter 0 of their book Noncommutative Algebra).
Remember to vote up questions/answers you find interesting or helpful (requires 15 reputation points)
Never mind. I was more successful with Google this time. It turns out that the statement is simply false. In the comment above I gave an example showing that the endomorphism ring need not be left Artinian. The following paper contains a (much less trivial) example showing that the endomorphism ring also need not be right Artinian: "Ring of Endomorphisms of a Finite Length Module" R. N. Gupta and Surjeet Singh Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 94, No. 2 (Jun., 1985), pp. 198-200. Incidentally, the module in that example appears to be a nontrivial self-extension of a simple module. |

What is true is that the endomorphism ring of any finite length module is semiprimary. |

New map from Butler Motorcycle Maps highlights the most dramatic and scenic roads in Northern California.
Vail, CO (PRWEB) January 03, 2013
If you ride a motorcycle the best way to home and back may not be the shortest distance or quickest time. If roads with sweeping corners, dramatic vistas, elevation change and an obvious lack of holiday ramblers are more your style, Butler Motorcycle Maps has you covered.
Butler Maps latest title, "The Great Rides of Northern California" covers the roads from Monterey, California to the Oregon border and clearly defines the best segments from a rider's perspective. " It took us years of riding and development to make this map. We don't take anyone's word for it, we ride each and every road and only recommend the ones with the highest potential to produce a smile under your helmet" says Justin Bradshaw, co-owner of Butler Maps.
Roads like the world famous Highway 1 are just one example of Butler Maps top picks. " Our highest ranked roads get a gold color on our maps. Northern California has over 80 of these roads. To put that in perspective, Colorado, which many consider to be a mecca of motorcycle riding has fewer than 30 gold sections. California is truly a special place to ride a motorcycle" says Bradshaw.
In addition to highlighting the best roads, QR codes link riders to weather conditions, food and lodging recommendations, motorcycle events and more.
Butler Motorcycle Maps produce waterproof road maps that help motorcycle riders find the best scenic motorcycle routes. Color coded information about the drama, safety and overall riding experience of a given road, provides riders an alternative to using the shortest distance or fastest time calculated by most GPS devices. " The Great Rides of Northern California" is the 12th title from Butler Maps. All maps retail for $14.95 and can be found online at at http://www.butlermaps.com and at retailers nationwide. For more information please call Justin Bradshaw at (970) 390-6621

why ads?Bridging the performance gap between the Panamera S and Turbo trims, Porsche adds a GTS trim to the roster for 2013. In addition, a new Platinum Edition is available for base Panamera and all-wheel-drive Panamera 4 models, bringing with it distinctive aesthetic elements and enhanced features while making a strong value-added statement.
In addition to the inclusion of the Turbo S and S Hybrid into the model line, the 2012 Porsche Panamera has only minor changes, mostly options, like Lane Change Assistant and some Porsche Exclusive options, including bi-xenon headlight surrounds in black, Sports Exhaust Tailpipes and new leather packages.
The 2012 Porsche Panamera line includes seven variations, from the "base" model with rear-drive and a 300-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, to the Turbo S with a 550-horsepower twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8 and not so much a performance envelope as a performance shipping crate. Prices range from around $75K to well over twice that. In a way, there is no direct, clear market competition, as the 4-door Panamera defines the perhaps-paradoxical notion of a 4-door sports car and doesn't really fit the description of "sports sedan." Price, performance and image-wise there are the usual suspects from Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, but the truth is, the Porsche Panamera is very much in a class by itself.

Ya Konan, also dropped to the bench after starting against Togo, sidefooted home the third goal in the 90th minute.
Togo helped the Ivorians to go through to the knockout phase ahead of the final round of group games by beating Tunisia's north African rivals Algeria.
Captain Emmanuel Adebayor scored the opening goal in the 32nd minute to give his team hope of reaching the last eight for the first time, needing only a draw in Wednesday's match against Tunisia.
The match was held up late in the second half when a goal post was knocked over after Algeria's Adlene Guedioura collided with the netting, meaning 13 minutes of added time were played.
Two minutes into that, Dove Wome struck on the counterattack to end Algeria's hopes of going through.
Adebayor has returned to international action after settling a dispute with national team officials.
Togo did not reach the finals of the 2012 tournament, having been reinstated in the qualifiers after initially being banned.
The squad broke rules by withdrawing before the 2010 event in Angola following a gun attack on the team's bus that left three people dead.

The real answer is because you need a high friendship with them to evolve so thats why the evolved form (Marill) looks very happy.
Gamefreak just wanted it that way. It is not expalined in pokedex entries, but as it evolves it expresion goes from sad-happy-joyful. Besides you can't see it from behind and it just makes your opponetnts go easy on you XD

xbox gold get drops BEFORE ps3 elite for overwatch and black box,,,,,,insane rip off
Like (2)
i cant believe that xbox non/elite members will be able to purchace all 6 drops on the 20 of march when psn ELITE FOUNDERS are still waiting for 3,4,5,6 that is completely a breach of contract from elite. we were supposed to get everything first being elite......................bullshit theif ass holes
Activision have a contract with Microsoft so that all DLC drops are released on Xbox 360 first, to all of their customers, so they cannot release it to PS3 Elite members until after all Xbox 360 customers have access to it. You'll do still get all the content before non-Elite subscribers on PS3 which is what all PS3 Elite Founders are paying for.
I'm with the OP on this one, and I know they have a contract with Microsoft to release on their console first. ELITE was supposed to be for early access. nonELITE members should not be able to get access before ELITE members no matter what the console. Its a breach of my contract with ELITE. They could have released it after all ELITE members had access. Nothing else works like its supposed to, they could atleast keep to the promise of early access.
You're dilusional WKMMS. The only contract Microsoft and Activision have is that Xbox users are able to purchase dlc 1 month ahead of all other platforms. The fact that you are ok with all non-xbox elite members not getting their elite content as promised means you either have an xbox or don't have elite. I knew when elite came out it'd be a load of crap given Activision and CoD's track record but I do feel sorry for those that got lured into buying it and then ripped off.

I'm not quite sure how you figure I'm delusional when you basicially re-affirm my point in your next sentence there. MS paid Activision so that ALL Xbox users get access to DLC before any other platform. Since the OP is a PS3 user, which is another platform, then logically he has to wait until a month after every Xbox customer has the opportunity to buy the DLC, even though he has Elite.
xneowolfx wrote:

I said nothing about being okay with non-Xbox Elite members not getting their content as promised. I made a comment to the OP based on my understanding of the DLC arrangements between MS and Activision and how it relates to his being an Elite PS3 customer, nothing else.
The OP deserves to get the same amount of DLC as an Xbox user who signed up to Elite at the same time as he did, even if his subscription were to run out before some of that content were released to PS3. If that turns out not to be the case, then he should be royally p*ssed because that would be a rip-off.
You get it first but only on your platform.
Don´t know why that´s a problem of course you want the dlcs like any other but where´s the problem when non premium can buy it too?
I have my premium so to me it doesen´t matter but I would appreciate it just for the fact that more friends can play with me.
And that "ripped of" things you write...
There are many games where sony or ms holds a contract with the devs so that the other platform is in clear disadvantage, this is (sadly) business as usual.
Bringing out soft facts (like this "get it first on elite") always brings confusion so don´t waste your time on hating, you won´t get a result (maybe a heart attack).
Well you PS3 Gamers get Battlefied 3 content early!!!!!!

In Va., Romney decries military cuts and Obama talks jobs
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – President Barack Obama pledged to create many more jobs and "make the middle class secure again" in a campaign-closing appeal on Thursday – more than five weeks before Election Day – to voters already casting ballots in large numbers.
Republican Mitt Romney, focusing on threats beyond American shores, accused the commander in chief of backing dangerous cuts in defense spending.
"The idea of cutting our military is unthinkable and devastating. And when I become president we will not," declared the challenger, struggling to reverse a slide in opinion polls.

Bitter Medicine: Pills, Profit and the Public Health… Peter Jennings ABC Interview
Unfortunately, far too many doctors have only a superficial knowledge of the many medications they prescribe daily, both when it comes to diabetes prescriptions, or drugs for other health problems.
All too often, drugs are prescribed in potentially dangerous combinations, where apparent oversight seems to be obvious.
Now, with the assistance of the late news anchor Peter Jennings, we will evaluate the opinions of some medical experts that appear to have a conscience.
These are medical doctors who are totally aware of the corruption in the very powerful and profitable (legal) drug industry, and are not afraid to express their opinion. The following excerpts were taken from the ABC News Special Report – Bitter Medicine: Pills, Profit and the Public Health. This report by Peter Jennings aired on Wednesday, May 29, 2004 on ABC.
Peter Jennings – …Dr. Drummond Rennie is an editor at The Journal of the American Medical Association. He says researchers who are critical get attacked all the time. Do you actually believe, Dr. Rennie, that drug companies are intent on keeping the consumer on drugs, which are not as good as older drugs, for the simple requirement of profit?
Dr. Drummond Rennie – Yes. Yes, very much so. Absolutely. …They've got to be prevented.
Peter Jennings – … The top 10 drug companies combined made profits of more than $37 billion in the year 2001. And you, the taxpayer, are subsidizing research that benefits the drug industry.
Peter Jennings – The majority of the drugs approved by the FDA are simply modifications of old drugs…Consumers spend $90 billion more on prescription drugs last year than was spent just six years ago. And are we $90 billion healthier? …But what critics call this 'gaming of the system' may have a much more damaging result.
Dr. Sharon Levine, Kaiser Permanente Medical Group – If I'm a manufacturer, and I can change one molecule and get another 20 years of patent life and convince physicians to prescribe and consumers to demand … then why would I be spending money on a lot less certain endeavor, which is looking for brand new drugs?
Peter Jennings – The pharmaceutical industry has more registered lobbyists than the number of senators and congressmen combined.
Dr. Jerry Avorn, Brigham and Women's Hospital – I think there's a sense that, for example, when the FDA approves a drug, everything that needs to be known about it is known. I think patients believe that. I think doctors sometimes believe that. And that is not true.
Dr. Matt Handley, Group Health Cooperative – I would personally wait years for long-term safety from the FDA's monitoring program before I'd consider taking them. If they were free, I would do that same thing.
Peter Jennings – What does this say about the social responsibility of the pharmaceutical industry? Or is the pharmaceutical industry supposed to have a social responsibility?
Dr. Sharon Levine – That's a very good question that the American people need to answer, do we want to entrust critical elements of the public health to an industry whose purpose, whose mission is to earn return for shareholders?
Peter Jennings – Congress has never required the FDA to routinely compare new drugs with older drugs. This is costing consumers billions of dollars that we do not need to spend. And in some cases, it could be costing lives. …There is no law that says new drugs have to be proven 100 percent safe. … The government says they must be relatively safe, which means that every drug comes with risks. And the result of that is that sometimes new drugs turn out to be more dangerous than old drugs.
Dr. Jerry Avorn, Harvard Medical School – If patients were aware of the limitations that all of us physicians have in terms of what we know and what we wish we knew and what we don't know, they would be more scared than they are at present. …The saying that a lot of doctors use sometimes in jest is, 'Always wait a year before prescribing a new drug. And if it's for a family member, wait five years.' And that's an awful thing to say, but it reveals a perception that we really don't know as much as we would like to know about a drug until it's been around. INSERT: In other words, tested on the public.
Peter Jennings – The fact is, drugs can be used for years before we really know how safe they are. …Dr. Drummond Rennie is an editor at The Journal of the American Medical Association. He says researchers who are critical get attacked all the time. Why do you think the industry is able to get away with what you have in the past called 'bullying tactics'?
Dr. Drummond Rennie, Journal of the American Medical Association – Money. Because if the shareholders are happy, whom else do they have to answer for? These are multinationals. They have no masters.
Peter Jennings – Can we trust studies funded by companies that have a vested interest in the results? …Will the pharmaceutical industry do whatever it takes to get the results it wants from research?
Dr. Drummond Rennie – The temptation to spin those results is always there, and it's frequently used. Frequently.
Peter Jennings – For nearly every drug on the market, doctors must wrestle with conflicting and sometimes inaccurate information.
Dr. Drummond Rennie – If only the good news about a drug is published, and never the bad news, then a false impression is given of the quality, effectiveness of that drug. It may be entirely false.
Peter Jennings – Does the drug industry, on occasion or regularly, suppress data?
Dr. Drummond Rennie – Oh, we suspect, and rather know, that this happens all the time.
Peter Jennings – Does a drug company ever not publish the results of a trial because it doesn't like the results?
Dr. Drummond Rennie – Yes.
Peter Jennings – Do you actually believe, Dr. Rennie, that drug companies are intent on keeping the consumer on drugs, which are not as good as older drugs, for the simple requirement of profit?
Dr. Drummond Rennie – Yes. Yes, very much so. Absolutely. …They've got to be prevented.
Peter Jennings – There is one last thing this evening which we believe is important for all of us. The questions about what we are getting for our money cannot and must not be answered only by the drug companies. Virtually everyone we talked to for this broadcast agrees on that. The rules by which this hugely profitable industry operates do not always serve consumers adequately. And nothing is going to happen, no matter how angry consumers get, unless the Congress and the president decide that the time is come. The country can do better. I'm Peter Jennings. Thank you for joining us. Good night.
I can't help but respect Peter Jennings for conducting the interview to help us better understand the corruption in medicine that I am fully aware of, although many in the nation are not. All too often we see announcements in the national news promoting the use of drugs in deceptive ways, and at times for unapproved uses.
A prime example is the woman who was interviewed on the national news, claiming that after stopping Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), she discovered that Paxil™ seemed to help reduce her hot flashes. That announcement was aired shortly after it was announced that HRT had many potential associated problems, so many women stopped their HRT drugs. Although there are natural supplements proven to resolve the hot flashes, taking Paxil™ is much more of a serious threat than HRT.
Paxil™ is a very serious antidepressant never approved for hot flashes, or anything other than depression. Paxil™ is the same basic class of antidepressants as Prozac™, but an even more potent version.
One woman was actually prescribed Paxil™ to help her stop biting her fingernails! She soon discovered that biting her nails was minor compared to the major problem she experienced from the use of Paxil™. For over a year she could no longer control her movements, and as a result was unable to work.
I would guess that after the interview on the national news indicating that Paxil™ might possibly help prevent hot flashes, many women likely asked their doctor if they could try Paxil™. Unfortunately, many doctors would likely accommodate them, and write a prescription for Paxil™, just like the doctor did for the lady who was biting her fingernails. Hot flashes are basically a walk in the park compared to the many potential side effects associated with this serious class of antidepressants (diabetes being just one of many).
