Local 4-H students race solar cars with Lake Land College's Technology Division
Students of the Coles, Cumberland, Moultrie/Douglas and Shelby County 4-H recently visited Lake Land College to test out their engineering and green technology knowledge. Nearly 30 students came to campus to race model solar cars each team crafted for the big day. The event was in coordination with the University of Illinois Extension 4-H Youth Development Program.
"The weather outside was a little brutal," said Mark Dyer, LLC program coordinator. "Since it wasn't very sunny, we improvised and set up a race track in one of the West Building labs. After a little trial and error, we constructed the race track on lab benches and mounted strong lights to power the solar cars."
For the race, each county trialed all of their solar cars and decided which was fastest. Then, the fastest car from each group raced for time in the championship round. Each county had one practice run, then two complete trials for time. The two trials for each county were averaged to give each county a race time.
The champion this year was Shelby County, and according to Dyer, that team's run time was noticeably faster than the others.
"Shelby County's entry 'Jackie' was modified to make it lighter," said Dyer. "By drilling away some of the unnecessary plastic parts and installing racing ball bearing bushings onto the car, Shelby County sped the fastest across the finish line."
Dyer said it was nice to see the thought and initiative that went into the winning entry and he hopes it inspired others teams to think outside the box. Members from the winning Shelby County team received a gift card to the movies for their exceptional effort.
In addition to the solar car race, 4-Hers toured the renewable energy technologies at Lake Land, which included visiting the community garden, the electric vehicle charging station, the photo voltaic roof installations, the educational wind turbines, and the LLC Lightning Bug, an electric vehicle built by Lake Land faculty and staff. The poor weather didn't deter the group from seeing the inside of the 100 kW turbines on campus. For this, Dyer connected a live video feed from the south turbine nacelle, which gave the students a tour of what the nacelle looks like from the inside.
The solar car race was one part of the Sustainable Communities SPIN Clubs. 4-Hers from Coles, Cumberland, Moultrie/Douglas and Shelby counties have been participating in the Sustainable Communities SPIN Clubs since September 2012. These clubs are a partnership between University of Illinois Extension, 4-H Youth Development and Lake Land College Technology Division. Each month students meet, discuss an issue related to sustainability and then engage in hands-on activities pertaining to the issue.
Additionally, throughout the months, the members have been designing, planning and building their own "sustainable community." The culminating event for these SPIN Clubs will be on March 2. As part of the Coles County Farm Bureau Mall Days, each club will present their "sustainable community" to a panel of judges. The presentations will be from 10 a.m. to noon at the Cross County Mall.
For more information on 4-H Youth Development Programs contact your local University of Illinois Extension office. To learn more about the Technology Division at Lake Land College, visit: www.lakeland.cc.il.us/as/tec/index.cfm.

Izzo calls this 'my most important Big Ten tournament'

TEAMS: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Miami Heat
Is Calvin Johnson the NFL's LeBron James? Bears corner back Charles Tillman compared the two today (Credit: AP Photo)
The Chicago Bears have been doing a lot of talking before this weekend's match up with the Detroit Lions. Yesterday, defensive tackle Henry Melton said he expects dirty play from the Lions. Today, safety Major Wright criticized quarterback Matthew Stafford for folding under pressure. Despite the negative comments over the last two days, corner back Charles Tillman had something nice to say about the Detroit Lions.
After considering who he was going to match up against, Tillman compared wide receiver Calvin Johnson to LeBron James.
"He can do everything," Tillman told the Chicago Tribune. "He's the LeBron James of football. If you could create a player — that's Calvin Johnson. Size, speed, hands, agility, quickness, strength."
After holding Johnson to 34 yards on 3 catches during their week seven meeting, Tillman says he is not sure if the team will be able to shut down Johnson again this week.
"It would be cool if we did, but I don't know how."
I thought Tillman was going to compare Johnson to LeBron for the lack of winning games. Just as LeBron used to be the best player in the NBA without a championship, Calvin Johnson is one of the best in the NFL without a championship.
The Chicago Bears will be playing for a spot in the playoffs this Sunday as they take on the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.

Google, just tell us honest people what to do. If you're going to kill us off permanently, just tell us so we can look for other jobs. If you're going to bring us back in a month, tell us that so we'll be able to hold on. If you want us to change something, tell us and we'll do it.
Google is taking years off my life with this. My site had been steadily growing for over a year. All white hat (public service even). Last October I lost 80% of my traffic overnight. From October to Jan 31st, no change. Then on January 31st it came back to about 50% of its original level, just enough for me to pay my rent. Then Feb 9th it was completely switched off again.

You Bought in Bulk...Now What?Stocking up on large quantities of food is a smart way to save money. Here's how to make sure none of it goes to waste.
By Lynn Andriani
Photo: Thinkstock
FlourKept at room temperature in an airtight container or in the original packaging placed inside a zip-top bag, most flours will last 6 to 12 months. The exception is whole grain flours: The bran and germ portions of the grain contain oils that cause these flours to go rancid more quickly. Keep whole wheat flour in your fridge or freezer, sealed the same as you would for the pantry, and it will last up to a year. Other whole grain flours such as buckwheat, oat and rice flours will last only two to three months in the freezer. Don't let them go bad: Try them in one of these delicious recipes from Good to the Grain author Kim Boyce.

Oh it gets worse after LO arrives. I HAAAATE the phone now. My mom calls me every single day now (was 1-2x a week before)... a friend of mine calls a lot now, but she's one of those people who aren't really talkative on the phone so I feel like I have to carry the convo (exhausting!). I'm even getting really bad on email now... MIL keeps emailing. I feel like I say the same things over and over again too, which might be why I hate talking to people right now.
I'm also feeling antisocial in the "screw you" kind of way... IL's live 3-4 hours away and want to spend several days here in two weeks, and there is no way in he11 I'm dealing with that. A few hours during the day, sure, but a.) not every day that week and b.) DEFINITELY not overnight! What makes this completely antisocial is that we've spent two nights at my parents' house with DD, and I still didn't really want to leave even though they only live 45 minutes away!
I'm not so much anti-social as I just am kind of tired of social settings where people ALWAYS comment on the baby or want to rub my belly. Yes, I'm pregnant and enjoy it, but I also want people to remember that I am more than just a vessel for gestation. I'm still ME and I am tiring of the "when are you due? how are you feeling?" comments although on the flip side, I'd probably also be upset if nobody asked...I'm hard to please right now. I want to talk about things not related to my pregnancy or this baby with my friends and pretend there's still some normalcy to my life (my changing body and all the other changes pregnancy brings has been a lot to handle emotionally these past few months) - my mother goes on about babies and pregnancy ad nauseum when she calls, which I realize is part of her excitement over impending grandmotherhood but it makes me sad to feel like I've already said goodbye to part of me as I was before becoming a mother-to-be, too.

I'm feeling very introspective. I don't want ppl around besides DH, not interested in going out unless its for food :)
I have baby brain, since I'm just waiting for labour. I find its hard to care what others are doing next weekend or planning for the next while. I'm quite happy nesting at home really, not grumpy.
fdbm:I totally know how you feel. I am trying not to make people feel like I don't want to be social but man alive all I really want to do it stay at home. My friends and my MIL know that I want to just chill at home so they keep trying to invite themselves over to "help out" with anything that needs to get done before LO gets here. I am really trying to be appreciative of all the help offers but I really just want to hibernate and enjoy the peace and quiet...
THIS. I feel the same exact way.
I told my hubby the other morning, that I could just lay in bed like those obese people and just have him bring me food and whatever- until the baby decides to get here. LOL!!! I have no desire to get up, be social, put on makeup, or do ANYTHING for that matter.
Please baby! Come soon!!!
melgrady:I went to a bar to celebrate my friend's birthday a few weeks ago and all I wanted to do was go home. Maybe the fact I couldn't drink had me down. I think being tired all the time is making me very anti-social as well. All I want to do is relax when I am not working.
And this too.
I dread going out at night. All I want is a margarita and my tiny body back!
Yes. I actually get annoyed when my phone rings now. I am so tired most of the time, I don't want to have to think about carrying my end of the conversation! And, generally, I'm a talker...
I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and had a terrible time. It's not that I couldn't drink, it was HOW DRUNK everyone else was. It was just annoying, and I felt very self-conscious for the 1 or 2 songs I actually spent on the dance floor. I love weddings and I had never been so bored in my entire life!

This. Me too.
I'm glad this is not just me! I am having to force myself to hang out with friends because I haven't seen them in like a month and a half. I just want to hang out with my hubby and watch tv and eat. What's more is that I am a COUNSELOR for God's sake so all I do all day is listen to people's problems. Usually ok because it is what I have a passion for, but I wish I could just stay at home most days...
I'm just tired of being fat, sore and stressed and ready to take some time off to take care of my little boy.
Yes, I don't want to go anywhere or see/talk to anyone except for my DH. I feel like people only try and set up coffee/lunch with me in the hopes that I'll go into labor and they can be there to see. I know it's irrational but I feel like everybody is just being nosy. I think it's partially because I'm overdue and cranky in general. Oh well, can't be much longer now.

Kappes cleared Federation blames failed drug test on food supplement
BERLIN (Reuters) -- The disciplinary committee of the German Cycling Federation (BRD) on Monday cleared German rider Andreas Kappes of doping charges. Kappes, 34, tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone at the German track championships last July in Hamburg. Tests performed in a Cologne laboratory later found nandrolone in a food supplement he had taken. "Unless the executive committee of the BRD has any objection to this decision, the case is over," BRD acting general secretary Karsten Schuetze said after Monday's meeting.

Recovery, Visualization, and Analysis of Actin and Tubulin Polymer Flow in Live Cells: A Fluorescent Speckle Microscopy Study
Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 2, 1 August 2003, Pages 1289-1306
P. Vallotton, A. Ponti, C.M. Waterman-Storer, E.D. Salmon and G. Danuser
AbstractFluorescent speckle microscopy (FSM) is becoming the technique of choice for analyzing in vivo the dynamics of polymer assemblies, such as the cytoskeleton. The massive amount of data produced by this method calls for computational approaches to recover the quantities of interest; namely, the polymerization and depolymerization activities and the motions undergone by the cytoskeleton over time. Attempts toward this goal have been hampered by the limited signal-to-noise ratio of typical FSM data, by the constant appearance and disappearance of speckles due to polymer turnover, and by the presence of flow singularities characteristic of many cytoskeletal polymer assemblies. To deal with these problems, we present a particle-based method for tracking fluorescent speckles in time-lapse FSM image series, based on ideas from operational research and graph theory. Our software delivers the displacements of thousands of speckles between consecutive frames, taking into account that speckles may appear and disappear. In this article we exploit this information to recover the speckle flow field. First, the software is tested on synthetic data to validate our methods. We then apply it to mapping filamentous actin retrograde flow at the front edge of migrating newt lung epithelial cells. Our results confirm findings from previously published kymograph analyses and manual tracking of such FSM data and illustrate the power of automated tracking for generating complete and quantitative flow measurements. Third, we analyze microtubule poleward flux in mitotic metaphase spindles assembled in Xenopus egg extracts, bringing new insight into the dynamics of microtubule assemblies in this system.

Converging Populations of F-Actin Promote Breakage of Associated Microtubules to Spatially Regulate Microtubule Turnover in Migrating Cells
Current Biology, Volume 12, Issue 22, 19 November 2002, Pages 1891-1899
Stephanie L. Gupton, Wendy C. Salmon and Clare M. Waterman-Storer
SummaryBackground: In migrating cells, the retrograde flow of filamentous actin (f-actin) from the leading edge toward the cell body is accompanied by the synchronous motion of microtubules (MTs, [[1]]), whose plus ends undergo net growth. Thus, MTs must depolymerize elsewhere in the cell to maintain polymer mass over time. The source and location of depolymerized MTs is unknown. Here, we test the hypothesis that MT polymer loss occurs in central cell regions and is induced by the convergence of actin retrograde and anterograde flow, which buckles and breaks associated MTs and promotes minus-end depolymerization.Results: We characterized the effects of calyculin A and ML-7 on the movement of f-actin and MTs by multi-spectral fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and fluorescent speckle microscopy (FSM). Our studies show that these drugs affect the rate of f-actin and MT convergence and MT buckling in a central cell region we call the "convergence zone." Increases in f-actin convergence are associated with faster MT turnover and an increase in both MT breakage and minus-end depolymerization, but they have no effect on MT plus end dynamic instability.Conclusions: We propose that f-actin movement into the convergence zone plays a major role in spatially modulating MT turnover during cell migration by regulating MT breakage, and thus minus-end dynamics, in central cell regions.

Clare M Waterman-Storer and Gaudenz Danuser
SummaryFluorescent Speckle Microscopy (FSM) is a technology for analyzing cytoskeleton dynamics, giving novel insight into their roles in living cells. New applications of FSM, together with the development of computer-based FSM image analysis, will make FSM the first microscopy-based method to deliver quantitative kinetic readouts at high spatial and temporal resolution for a wide variety of macromolecular systems. Here, we review the most recent applications and developments and give a glimpse of future directions and potentials of FSM.

Cannes 2013 Review: 'Shield of Straw' is One Of Miike's Most Accessible Films Yet
Cannes Film Festival By Shaun Munro on May 21, 2013 | Comments (1)Takashi Miike is a director fast becoming a regular fixture at the Cannes Film Festival, despite his notorious work-rate of often several films a year and the frequently inconsistent level of quality that this doubtless invites. Miike stands as one of very few directors who would be able to land a populist – at least for the standards of the festival – action thriller In Competition. As such, Shield of Straw is a refreshing palate-cleanser amid the more stereotypical festival fare, and on its own standing, coheres as a sharp thriller even as it weathers its fair share of flaws. Following his murder of a 7-year-old girl, serial killer Kunihide Kyomaru (Tatsuya Fujiwara) has a billion-Yen bounty placed upon his head by the child's grandfather, Ninagawa (Tsutomu Yamazaki), with the peculiar condition that the murder be state-authorised (a rather oblique term never properly explained). As the tension rises, Kyomaru hands himself in to the police, yet with even the authorities aiming their sights at the man, it comes down to five outnumbered, outgunned cops, led by Lieutenant Kazuki Mekari (Takao Osawa), to protect a man they ostensibly cannot stand. Few of Miike's films are ever quite the same, and here in both style and tone he seems to be moving towards the very much in-vogue Christopher Nolan style of filmmaking; high budget, boasting an accomplished look, portentous musical score, and sweeping themes that avidly echo Greek tragedy (but unlike Nolan, it's bloody).
Sion Sono to Focus on the Japan Earthquake, Radiation and Fukushima for 'Land of Hope'
In Development By Scott Beggs on January 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentSion Sono is the genius who made two hours seem like weeks in Suicide Club but managed to make four hours fly by in Love Exposure. A couple of years ago, Noriko's Dinner Table probably stood as his finest work, but Cold Fish far surpassed it with its testicular exploration of violence, family and loss of humanity. Plus, his latest work, Himizu – which focuses on two teenagers who take to fighting crime in a world post-tsunami – is getting high acclaim as well thanks to the Venice Film Festival. According to The Hollywood Reporter, his next move is to make a movie born out of the tragic Japanese earthquake of 2011 and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear fallout that came after, although the events will be fictionalized. Land of Hope will focus on a pregnant couple (Jun Murakami and Megumi Kagurazaka) who have to escape their farm because of an earthquake and nuclear plant accident. A few months after the earthquake in 2011, Japanese filmmaking icon Takashi Miike stated that, "I'm sure we will see, for example the kids that have grown up in this situation, the sort of wounds they have from the situation, we'll definitely have to see it to some effect in our movies." Sion Sono may not be a kid, but he's a stellar force for telling this kind of story. In fact,there are few directors as tuned into stories that alter and challenge interpersonal relationships. Any news of a new film from him is celebratory […]
Are You Ready for a Hollywood Remake of Takashi Miike's 'Ninja Kids!!!'?
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 1, 2011 | Be the First To CommentQuirky, controversial director Takashi Miike's latest film Ninja Kids!!! has been released in his home country of Japan for about two months now, so you know what that means…it's time to start talking about the English-language remake! THR is reporting that a prominent studio is currently in talks to bring the property overseas and put it in a nice, neat Hollywood package that we can all consume without having to read nasty subtitles or hurt our heads trying to understand cultural specific conceits. Personally I have not seen Ninja Kids!!!, and seeing as it is so new, probably a lot of other people haven't either. So before we decide if we're excited for this remake or not, let's take a look at what exactly the movie is.
Culture Warrior: A Magnolia By Any Other Name
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 12, 2011 | Comments (2)Last week, as I watched Quentin Dupieux's Rubber, I noticed that the trailers on the rental Blu-Ray were all of titles sharing space at the top of my queue: titles like Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins, Kim Ji-woon's I Saw the Devil, and Jason Eisener's Hobo with a Shotgun. All, I quickly realized, had been released by the same studio, Magnet Releasing, whose label I recalled first noticing in front of Nicolas Winding Refn's Bronson. After some quick Internet searching, I quickly realized what I should have known initially, that Magnet was a subsidiary of indie distributor Magnolia Pictures. The practices of "indie" subsidiaries of studios has become commonplace. That majors like Universal and 20th Century Fox carry specialty labels Focus Features and Fox Searchlight which market to discerning audiences irrespective of whether or not the individual titles released are independently financed or studio-produced has become a defining practice for limited release titles and has, perhaps more than any other factor, obscured the meaning of the term "independent film" (Sony Pictures Classics, which only distributes existing films, is perhaps the only subsidiary arm of a major studio whose releases are actually independent of the system itself). This fact is simply one that has been accepted for quite some time in the narrative of small-scale American (or imported) filmmaking. Especially in the case of Fox Searchlight, whose opening banner distinguishes itself from the major in variation on name only, subsidiaries of the majors can hardly even be argued as "tricking" audiences into […]
News After Dark: Leslie Nielsen's Eternal Humor, Blake Lively, Richard Ayoade and Miike's Ninja Kids
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 2, 2011 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly thing about movie stuff. Tonight's edition features mini-ninjas, talk about naked pictures of Blake Lively, Sly Stallone set to music, an explanation of who Jane Lynch is, a joke about Michael Bay, an even less funny joke about Blake Lively and a profile of Richard Ayoade. That and more, we assure you. Above you will see something I never thought we'd lead with in a Movie News After Dark entry: someone's grave stone. But there it is, the resting place of actor Leslie Nielsen. Modest, simple and complete with one last fart joke for the road. Nielsen may not have lasted forever, but his penchant for the fart joke will forever stay in our hearts.
Cannes 2011 Review: Takashi Miike's 'Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai 3D'
Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentTakashi Miike has been accused of many things, but the pervading opinion that his name inspires is that he is one of the most creatively insane directors currently working in any cinematic market, and that "unrestrained" approach to filmmaking usually also means that his films are anything but typical (even in comparison with their fellows). So the opportunity to see another Samurai story, swiftly on the tails of the excellent 13 Assassins, and one remade from an absolute classic in the form of Masaki Kobayashi's 1962 classic was one mixed with excitement and trepidation. The film focuses on the story of Hanshiro (Ebizo Ichikawa), an out of work samurai who visits the House of Ii in order to request to be allowed to commit Seppuku in their courtyard (the higher the prestige of a House, the more honor the shamed warrior can regain). Convinced he is bluffing in order to take advantage of the House's good will, Kageyu (Lord Ii's second in command) relates the harrowing story of a fellow shamed Samurai – Motome (Eita) – who had attempted a suicide bluff to gain financially, and who was made to go through with his Seppuku as an example against bluffing. Undeterred, Hanshiro affirms his intention, and requests that the House's top samurai assist him, though they are coincidentally absent, and it quickly becomes clear that Hanshiro has more of a connection to the young Samurai than he originally confessed… It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to imagine a pre-Kill Bill Tarantino eying […]
The Week That Was: From Ayn Rand to Wes Craven, And Back Again

Nothing much, just a recap of all that was great and wonderful here on Film School Rejects over the course of the last week. And in a week such as this, when we reviewed controversial and conversation-worthy films from the minds of Ayn Rand, Wes Craven and Robert Redford, it's important to take a look back at the best of what was written. That, and we interviewed Takashi Miike, so we've got that going for us. Also, I have access to the traffic stats. I know that all of you did not read every one of our best articles.

Features By Scott Beggs on April 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we talk with a master Japanese filmmaker, a rising non-Japanese directing talent, discuss the legacy of Scream, and ask why there isn't a modern-day Roger Corman. Takashi Miike is an incredible filmmaker, and as it turns out, a fascinating interview. Hopefully you speak Japanese, but if you don't, the entire interview is in English. Now a staple of SXSW, Sebastian Gutierrez makes funny, sexy films that (gasp) focus on dialogue, character and cleavage. He joins me to talk about his new movie Girl Walks Into a Bar, and why making it the first film specifically made for internet distribution was the correct, crazy choice. Even though we keep hearing about a filmmaking revolution in the hands of the people, it doesn't seem to have happened yet. Eric Vespe from Aint It Cool and Aaron Morgan from Austin join me to ask why a new workhorse/creative force hasn't emerged with all the inexpensive cameras just lying around for the taking. Plus, Eric Vespe continues our streak of guests named Eric (and our one-show streak of guests named Eric Vespe) by going blade to blade against Movie News Pop Quiz Champion and FSR associate editor Rob Hunter. Who will come out alive? Will it be Wes Craven's career? Loosen up your tie and stay a while. Listen Here: Download This Episode
Exclusive: This '13 Assassins' Poster Will Slice You In Half
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 2, 2011 | Comments (2)Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins isn't just one great movie. It's two. The first is a reverent, calm look at the brewing battle that delivers a lot of tense moments and a bit of comedy. The second is a blood bath. Literally. There are people actually bathing in blood from thousands of sliced up foes. Those pieces come together to make one incredible movie that absolutely feels like Miike channeling Kurosawa after maxing out his credit card buying karo syrup and red dye. The characters are all compelling, and they're even more fun to watch while they're cutting down an army like so much wheat. The action is intense enough to make the audience need to wipe sweat off its collective brow, and the movie is coming to SXSW. To celebrate that, they've released a brand new, stylish poster that you can only see here at FSR (until you can see it everywhere else):
The promise of 13 Assassins is a final act that showcases some of the best, most innovative, most brutal fighting that the screen has seen. Everything leads up to it – from the introduction of the 13, to the steel-headed conversations between former allies turned enemies, to the preparation of a small town that the assassin's leader vows to turn into a killing field. Everything leads up to it, and it delivers. It delivers with such intensity that it's hard to breath, that it's difficult not to stand up and cheer, that a little bad CGI doesn't ruin the ridiculous flaming weapon that the CGI is meant to create. Fortunately, the build up to the final act is beautiful in its own right. The whole experience is brilliant and deadly. In the waning days of the samurai, an evil lord rapes young women, kills on a whim, and plans on delivering war back to the peaceful nation. Since he's the Shogun's younger brother, he's above the law. However, he's not above being killed by a band of assassins hired by a senior government official to take out the lord and leave his head somewhere in the dirt of the Japanese countryside.
Takashi Miike Meets 3D for 'Harakiri' Remake
In Development By Scott Beggs on September 16, 2010 | Comments (1)Before the deep inhale of air and rage that comes with the announcement of a remake – especially something as untouchable and classic as Harakiri (Seppuku if you're nasty) – it's important to point out that Takashi Miike is at the helm, and Miike is responsible for bringing Ichi the Killer, Gozu, and Audition into the world. The man is a living legend, and it might just be fascinating to see him tackle Kobayashi's immortal tale of revenge in feudal Japan that saw a father avenging the forced harakiri suicide of his son. It actually sounds right up Miike's dark alley. Plus, it'll be in 3D, so audiences can have the suicide right up in their face. According to Variety, filming begins this October, and the movie should be out next year. Even if it's a remake, Miike making another film is always good news.
Takashi Miike Goes Hollywood With 'Thirteen Assassins' Trailer
Movie News By Rob Hunter on June 1, 2010 | Comments (3)The trailer for Miike's latest film has hit the web, and I have to admit it looks pretty damn good. The prolific director has a habit of working fast and cheap (and many of his flicks suffer for it), but Thirteen Assassins looks like a larger scale production than he's used to.
Fantastic Fest Review: Yatterman
Fantastic Fest By Brian Salisbury on October 7, 2009 | Comments (3)If there is any kind of common thread in the work of Takashi Miike, it would have to be that they are all either just a little or, in some cases, immensely loony. Enter Yatterman, a superhero's tale…

Head to Head: Asian Western Trailer Shootout
Foreign Objects By Rob Hunter on August 1, 2008 | Comments (12)Westerns are a uniquely American type of film, are they not? So why, with that in mind, would two Asian filmmakers both go into the western shoot-em-up business at the exact same time? We explore the facts.

The Red Sox have acquired some outfield help in the form of Scott Podsednik. Podsednik has been acquired by the Red Sox from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash, according to the team. While it's unclear whether Podsednik will join the Red Sox or remain in the minor leagues, the speedster will help shore up an outfield looking for help while Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford continue to work their way back from injuries. Podsednik signed a minor league deal with the Phillies last year, but injuries limited him to only 14 games in 2011. In 22 games this...

Political violence and instability in the Middle East is arguably the world's most important political issue. The region is certainly the globe's leading area for turmoil, war, and violence; and its conflicts have continuously involved Western countries both directly and indirectly.
This book surveys the main conflicts and insurgencies in recent Middle East history, focusing mainly on the period since the 1980s. Taking a historical-analytical approach, it covers challenges from revolutionary groups, civil wars, and the main conventional wars in the region. In addition to providing detailed narratives, the contributors also analyse the lessons for political and military affairs stemming from these conflicts.
Conflict and Insurgency in the Contemporary Middle East assembles for the first time detailed studies of the Iran-Iraq, Israel-Hizballah, and the two Coalition-Iraq wars, along with analyses of a number of insurgencies. Assessing successes and failures, strategy and tactics, and changes in military technologies, the book will be of great interest to students of Middle Eastern politics, insurgencies, security studies and International Relations in general, as well as policymakers and military professionals.

The New York Jets are going into minicamp with a lot of new faces and positions to fill. The 2012 draft was a gamble for the Jets, but that has been a reoccurring theme for the organization.
Drafting Quinton Coples with their first pick and Stephen Hill with their second pick were what many would consider to be risky selections. Both players are considered to be extremely raw talents with the potential to be star players.
Hill, who is 6'5" and 205 pounds, ran a sub 4.4 forty yard dash, but has never caught more than 38 passes in a season during his college career.
The rookie out of Georgia Tech is confident in his abilities and said, "I'm not nervous at all. I'm just making sure I got everything correct and just going hard, as much as I can…I want to take whatever I did in college and put way more emphasis on it now."
The Jets also drafted Jordan White, from Western Michigan University, who was one of the best wide receivers in the sub division. He has great hands, caught 140 passes his senior season, and runs routes like a veteran, but he does not have the breakaway speed that many GMs are looking for. The Jets could really use a solid number two receiver after losing Plaxico Burress to free agency and hope one of these two receivers can be that guy.
Along with Coples, the Jets drafted outside linebacker Demario Davis, from Arkansas State University, to help with the pass rush. Davis is a talented pass rusher who does not have the best instincts, but is a gifted athlete with a high motor. According to Davis the strongest part of his game is his "speed and ability to run".
Davis also stated, "The system the Jets run is pretty similar if not the exact same defense we ran in college, so that's extremely beneficial."
Rex Ryan will be moving Davis to the inside linebacker position, so understanding the defense gives Davis a great advantage. Davis was projected to go late in the second round, so he was a steal in the third round.
Running back was a big need for the Jets going into the draft and they hope they addressed it with their sixth round pick, Terrance Ganaway, out of Baylor University. Ganaway started for the first time as a senior and ran the ball 250 times for a total of 1547 yards. He also ran for 21 touchdowns and is a physical runner with his 6'1", 240lb build. The Jets want to return to their "ground and pound game" and Ganaway looks to fit that role.
"I think Rex [Ryan] or Mike [Tannenbaum] used the term 'A-back' in one of their press conferences, and that's really what we wanted to find," said offensive coordinator Tony Sparano.
Ganaway has expressed great joy in playing for the Jets and hopes to help the team's run game return to one of the best in the league.
Another issue for the Jets going into the draft was the safety position. Even with the signing of LaRon Landry they still needed to find another safety. The team took Josh Bush, from Wake Forest University, and Antonio Allen, from the University of South Carolina in the sixth and seventh round. Neither is expected to be a superstar at the next level, but Allen has the potential to take the starting job. He was a great player for South Carolina and was a crucial reason they had one of the best defenses in the country last season. He is considered slow and does not have great recovery speed, but he has superb instincts and is a hard hitter.
With their last sixth round pick the Jets select Robert Griffen from Baylor University…unfortunately he is the guard and not the quarterback. Although this Robert Griffen did not receive all the hype as his former teammate, he is expected to give Wayne Hunter competition for the starting job.
Notable rookie free agents brought into camp:
1) G.J Kinne- QB out of Tulsa 2) Dexter Jackson- WR out of App. State 3) Hayden Smith- TE former London Rugby star

If anyone thinks I am wrong please explain. 1) An attacker cracks a DNS server (most likely your ISP's) and send you to a copy they operate of the bank's non-secure site. This is why SSL provides both encryption AND authenticates the cert. If all we needed was encryption we could all just use self signed certs.

How One Credit Card Fee Actually Helps Consumers
Written by Curtis Arnold
Posted On: July 20, 2009
Credit card merchant fees (also called interchange fees) are the latest target of politicians, consumer groups and some retailers. I for one, though, don't really mind these ��under the radar�� fees for several reasons. Lawmakers have decided to take their campaign against the credit card industry beyond the��sweeping new provisions of the new credit card law known as the Credit CARD Act of 2009. Congress has also started investigating restrictions involving credit card merchant fees. These fees are paid by merchants every time you swipe your card and many merchants are crying foul. However, I feel like Washington should exercise caution when it comes to targeting interchange fees, for a few reasons:
Credit card interchange fees cover the costs of maintaining the invisible network that connects the swipe pad at your favorite stores to the database at your bank. Think of an interchange platform as a series of interstate highways that gets the money from your credit card or checking account into your merchant's cash register. Those credit card merchant fees amount to about 2-3%, depending on the relationship your vendor has with credit card issuers. If you've written a check at a retail store in the last few years, you'll appreciate the time saving value of a reliable, secure payment platform.
2. For rebate cardholders, credit card interchange fees boomerang back.
If you enjoy cash back rebate credit��cards, frequent flyer mile cards, or other��credit card rewards like I do, you're really just getting back a chunk of the interchange fees that you already pay for goods and services when you use plastic at the checkout counter. Personally, I don't mind if other consumers cover the costs of some of the bigger rewards in the industry, like the��5% rebates I get��on gasoline using my rebate credit card! Should I feel bad if consumers��that pay��by cash or check��help subsidize my rewards?��I think not. Credit card merchant fees also help to��cover the costs of various free credit card benefits,��such��as extended warranty and insurance programs.
3. Clamping down on interchange fees won't reduce prices.
Payment processing costs have been absorbed by retailers' markups for years and I doubt if prices for goods and services will be lowered much, if any, if another law passes. On a related note, many retailers spend far more money on their cash handling systems than they do on merchant fees.
I know a manager of a major retail store who drops thousands of dollars into her safe each night, while processing four times as much revenue through her merchant credit card account. Yet, the amount she pays in interchange fees wouldn't cover the cost of her daily armored car service or the salary of the cashier that spends two hours each day making change.
Smaller stores that prefer not to accept credit cards may feel like they're improving their bottom line, but studies indicate that consumers buy more on credit cards than they ever do with cash or checks.
4. Our time and attention should be focused on more important things
Instead of worrying about credit card interchange fees that merchants pay for valuable services, let's encourage our lawmakers to revisit the watchdog spirit that brought us the CARD Act in the first place. Payday loans, shady debt collectors, and fraudulent credit repair operators damage the financial lives of Americans every day. Rather than squeeze��money from legitimate businesses, Washington should clamp down on companies that prey on fear, mistrust, and financial desperation. On a related note,��more emphasis should be put on financial education.
Lawmakers struck a chord with consumers when they limited some of the credit card industry's worst practices. Now it's time for them to help our economic recovery by supporting the growth of our electronic payments network. I'm all for merchants��being able to negotiate fees��and a level playing field (which is what proponents of legislation curtailing credit card merchant fees claim they want). And, I think if fees are��indeed not negotiable as proponents claim, then the government should step in.
But, at the end of the day, if a merchant is upset about paying fees, then why don't they just stop taking plastic all together? Call me crazy, but I'm��going to go "out on a limb" here and speculate that it��just might be��because it would��hurt their business quite a bit more than help. I would certainly welcome your thoughts!

A debt management plan is one option for breaking free of unsecured debts. You would work with a third party who would get in touch with your creditors and work out a plan for you to pay back the money you owed over a period of time, usually with reduced payments. Once you have gone into the deal creditors will not be on your back for payments and if you stick with the plan you will have become debt free once the term of the plan has been reached.

I agree some fees are needed (12-28% interest on cards) but from the consumer point of view why aren't the transactions between both parties encrypted to prevent the high cost of fraud that the credit company just write off ?

Interesting points. I never really thought of the money counting and armored car fees. I use my rewards card literally everywhere that will let me and I love it. As a small business owner though, I know the fees and I feel the retailers pain. But we are not a store so the cost of getting cash versus credit really means little to us. Good stuff.

The Chants
The Chants
The Chants were unusual, even among the legions of Liverpool bands making music in the early '60s, on two counts. First, they were a vocal harmony quartet in a city that was mostly known for its hard-rocking electric bands. Second, they were black, in a city that didn't have a lot of musicians among its minority population. The Chants' sound was a mix of R&B harmony and a solid British beat tempo, and they excelled at all of it. Eddie Amoo, later of the successful disco outfit Real Thing (signed to Pye in the '70s), was the lead singer, and the other members were brothers Eddie and Joe Ankrah (who may or may not have been related to future Demon vocalist Leslie Ankrah), and Alan Fielding, with producer Tony Hatch writing their arrangements, which included some of the best work of his career in that capacity. The Chants were often backed up on-stage by some of the biggest future stars from the city's stable of bands, including the Beatles on several occasions, according to Amoo. Popular locally, they never managed to chart a single, but they left behind some superb records, including impeccably sung but rocking versions of Rodgers & Hart's "I Could Write a Book" (from Pal Joey), the Del-Vikings' '50s hit "Come Go with Me," and their magnum opus, the bracing "She's Mine." They broke up in the mid-'60s and Amoo went on to success as a musician during the '70s disco boom and as a songwriter in the '80s. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
