REDMOND, Wash. – Microsoft has named Satya Nadella, an executive in charge of the company's small, but growing business of delivering software and services over the Internet, as its new CEO. Company founder Bill Gates is leaving the chairman role for a new role as technology adviser.

The software company announced Tuesday that Nadella will replace Steve Ballmer, who said in August that he would leave the company within 12 months. Nadella will become only the third leader in the software giant's 38-year history, after Gates and Ballmer. Board member John Thompson will serve as Microsoft's new chairman.
Nadella, who is 46 and has worked at Microsoft for 22 years, has been an executive in some of the company's fastest-growing and most profitable businesses, including its Office and server and tools business.
For the past seven months, he was the executive vice president who led Microsoft's cloud computing offerings. That's a new area for Microsoft, which has traditionally focused on software installed on personal computers rather than on remote servers connected to the Internet. Nadella's group has been growing strongly, although it remains a small part of Microsoft's current business.
"Satya is a proven leader with hard-core engineering skills, business vision and the ability to bring people together," Gates said in a statement. "His vision for how technology will be used and experienced around the world is exactly what Microsoft needs as the company enters its next chapter of expanded product innovation and growth."
The company said that Gates, in his new role as founder and technology adviser, "will devote more time to the company, supporting Nadella in shaping technology and product direction."
Gates will also remain a member of Microsoft's board.
Analysts hope that Nadella can maintain the company's momentum in the rapidly expanding field of cloud computing while minimizing the negative impact from Microsoft's unprofitable forays into consumer hardware. Major rivals in cloud computing include Google Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Salesforce.com Inc. and IBM Corp.
Microsoft shares rose 32 cents to $36.80 in morning trading.
Nadella's appointment comes at a time of turmoil for Microsoft.
Founded in April 1975 by Gates and Paul Allen, the company has always made software that powered computers made by others — first with its MS-DOS system, then with Windows and its Office productivity suite starting in the late 1980s. Microsoft's coffers swelled as more individuals and businesses bought personal computers.
But Microsoft has been late adapting to developments in the technology industry. It allowed Google to dominate in online search and advertising, and it watched as iPhones, iPads and Android devices grew to siphon sales from the company's strengths in personal computers. Its attempt to manufacture its own devices has been littered with problems, from its quickly aborted Kin line of phones to its still-unprofitable line of Surface tablets.
Analysts see hope in some of the businesses Nadella had a key role in creating.
Microsoft's cloud computing offering, Azure, and its push to have consumers buy Office software as a $100-a-year Office 365 subscription are seen as the biggest drivers of Microsoft's growth in the next couple of years. Both businesses saw the number of customers more than double in the last three months of the year, compared with a year earlier.
Those businesses, along with other back-end offerings aimed at corporate customers, are the main reason why investment fund ValueAct Capital invested $1.6 billion in Microsoft shares last year.
Last April, the fund urged investors to ignore the declining PC market — which hurts Microsoft's Windows business — and to focus on the so-called "plumbing" that Microsoft provides to help companies analyze massive amounts of data and run applications essential to their businesses on Microsoft's servers or their own.

Comments about REI Riverstone Full-Zip Hoodie - Men's:
I bought this on clearance at my local REI store just a week or so ago. I can't give it 5 stars because I have no idea of the longevity of this product. It has the wool on your body and the sleeves are a normal insulated lining with a nylon like fabric on the inside to make it easier to get your arms in and out with long sleeves on. I wore it during a winter day here in WI with temperatures in the low 30s with 20 MPH winds and couldn't feel the wind at all! Stayed warm walking to class and had to unzip as soon as I got in to the building because I started getting hot. Greta for cold weather when you don't want the bulkiness of a coat.

Comfortable and warm
By ajs464
from Philadelphia, PA
I bought this because I needed a heavier, hooded inner layer for one of my jackets. It works great by itself as well though. The fleece lining does not extend to the arms which made it even better to layer on top of (usually my issue with layering jackets is that the arms of the under layer are too thick to go into the outer jacket easily), but it does probably mean that this isn't the best solo jacket for the winter. I normally wear mediums, and this was true to its size. Hood fits pretty well too. I have the blue one and it's more of a dark blue than what's in the picture. I like the dark blue better though.

Predators 3, Sharks 2: David Legwand had a goal and an assist as Nashville extended San Jose's road woes in the opener of a five-game homestand.Defensemen Mattias Ekholm and Roman Josi scored just over four minutes apart in the second period and rookie Marek Mazanec turned aside 26 shots as the Predators snapped a three-game skid (0-2-1). Captain Shea Weber celebrated his selection to the Canadian Olympic team with a pair of assists to help Nashville beat the Sharks for the fourth straight time at home.Joe Pavelski scored on the power play and Patrick Marleau added a late goal for San Jose, which fell to 3-8-0 in its last 11 games. Defenseman Jason Demers collected a pair of assists and Antti Niemi made 25 saves in absorbing his second loss to the Predators in 3 1/2 weeks.Legwand opened the scoring and ended an 11-game goalless drought 3 1/2 minutes into the second period, corralling a loose puck in the right circle before turning and wristing a shot past Niemi. Pavelski knotted it on the power play just over three minutes later, redirecting defenseman Dan Boyle's blast from the right point.Ekholm answered 27 seconds later with his first career goal, coming from behind the net and throwing a backhand shot that got past a screened Niemi. Josi doubled the lead on a controversial tally with 8:30 left in the period, circling the net before converting from the high slot as Nashville's Colin Wilson crashed into Niemi with a shove from Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic.San Jose was outshot 23-17 in the first two periods but picked up the pace and controlled play in the final 20 minutes, putting 11 shots on Mazanec. The pressure finally paid off when - with Niemi on the bench for an extra skater - Marleau scored his 20th goal with 1:22 remaining. GAME NOTEBOOK: Sharks C Logan Couture will undergo surgery on his hand Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks. ... Marleau, who reached 20 goals for the 12th time, and Vlasic were named to Team Canada's roster for the Winter Olympics but Sharks captain Joe Thornton, who leads the league in assists, was left off the squad. Niemi was named to Finland's team while Pavelski was selected for Team USA last week. ... Weber was among 11 players - including Marleau - who were repeat selections from Canada's 2010 gold medal-winning squad while Josi was tabbed to play for Switzerland.

Lately, I've been tired and my life feels a lot different from how it felt back in August. My sleeping routine is completely messed up. I either go to sleep at 3-4 am and wake up around 2-3pm or try to go to sleep at 9 or 10pm and end up waking up at 3 am and realize I can't get back to sleep.
I've been taking care of butterflies for the past month, first that one Cheryl, then this new one who I may want to call Ian or Troy. And because of enjoying having a little pet, I want to get a pet bird.
I've been meaning to get to my harddrive, to sort out the mess that consists of all my backups. I have at 7 duplicates of 75% of my files and it is anNOYING trying to delete them and merge the ones that dont have duplicates. I've love some tips if anyone has any.
Lately, I've been spurting with creativity but I don't have the energy to get involved with drawing entire new pictures so if you want to know why my deviantart hasn't been updated, it's because I'm focusing on my stories now rather than my art.
I also want to change my avatar again but I'm too lazy to.

Advantages: Good all rounder; excellent buy
Disadvantages: Quite expensive; doesn't come with memory stick
When my new Sony Cyber-shot arrived, i was sceptical - i had never been good with cameras. However, the uservinterface of this camera is exceptional. It has a very handy viewfinder, somewhat an irregularity for most digital cameras, who rely on a screen alone.
This was invaluable for when I went on holiday and couldn't see the screen due to the sun and reflections from the sandy beaches. It alows a perfectly framed shot in an environment where the weather makes taking a picture a complete mission.
The slim camera is eaily slipped into a bag or pocket and the massive, crystal-clear screen is fabulous. The fact that it is 12.1 mpx setting allows a beautiful, un-pixelated A3 image for those extra special photos. However, i recomend that you use the 5 mpx setting for general snaps as the camera doesnt come with a memory stick and you would be surprised just how fast you use up photos as photography become very addictive with this camera
This said, though, the memory of the camera is quite large especially with a memory stick and you dont have to worry about using up space through the video function as you can still take hundreds of photos on top of tens of videos.
With high memory such as above you dont have to worry about using the video part of the camera, you can shoot hundreds of photos too and just delete any poor ones.
The features of the camera for example the macro setting are very high-tec. Taking photos of flowers and nature with this setting is highly enjoyable and you get a brilliant end-product. On top of these settings is a brilliant slide show/ movie setting where you can create a brilliant Tv adaptable show for loved ones complete with music. With the software provided you can edit on your computer or burn to CD/DVD etc. You can even playback your photos on the camera screen immediately and show your family/friends using the aptly named Playback function.
The many different modes eg landscape, night, snow etc easily accesed. The rapid funtion allows a very paparazzi style of photography and can result in fun images of your lad playing football or your daughter in her dance competition.
All things considered, would I recommend this camera to a friend despite the fact it is not the cheapest out there? Of course I would. Go for it now! You will love it. Guaranteed.
Summary: Very good quality camera, not the cheapest but definitely worth going for.

I was interested in trying this wax product over a gel. I like the application, but find I have to smear a lot on. I use clear, and it does keep your brows in place. But if anything brushes your brows, the wax just makes the hair stand funky until you notice it and fix it. Plus, I don't believe you can use this for the Back to MAC program. :( Boo! I will probably finish the tube, but then go back to a gel finisher.
I have this in clear and I find this to do what it says. I generally put powder on my brows and use this to set the powder and keep the brows in place.

This is a fantastic go-to product. I have it in 'Wheat', which is perfect for my dark brown brows. I normally use it with a pencil, but on days I just want a quick fix I can use this on its own and it provides enough colour and contouring.
To apply, the MUA told me to work it into the brows against the growth, and then to brush it through to distribute and shape.
It would be really convenient if MAC provided a brush at the other end of the stick - in fact, it seems like an oversight that they don't already. I remember being told that you can purchase refills, but my local counter doesn't offer this option. Worth checking at yours.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've always disliked the idea of brow gels since I've never achieved a finish I wanted, the "wet" look didn't seem attractive to me at all, so when I've noticed brow wax in a stick - I immediately bought it. I use the clear version, and I love using it as a primer to my brow pencil. I have blackish brown brows, which definitely need a black pencil - but it doesn't look always as natural. I comb my brows, swipe lightly over with this to get the desired shape, fill in with a pencil, and then blend it in with the brow finisher again - it makes the black pencil appear more natural and close to my brow color. My brows don't look "waxy" or dirty after using this, rather very groomed and conditioned. It's not a heavy wax type which sticks to your skin and makes you feel uncomfortable - it's very lightweight and you never feel like you have something on. I'm looking forward to try out their colored versions, maybe they'll make my brows look even fuller. It's easy to take off with an eye m/u remover and it just melts with a cleansing oil. However there are certain minuses with this product. While the packaging is very compact and easy to use, the wax stick itself is very fragile. It broke off twice as I was using it - maybe it's partly my own mistake, as I have a heavy hand, but it still leaves something to be desired for. It's hard to tame my brows - and while it seems to keep their shape at the beginning, by the end of the day my brows don't look the same as in the beginning. It doesn't really change my opinion about this product since I still love the lightness of the formula - therefore it can be as good with keeping all the hairs in place as a heavier product would be. The price is a little steep considering it lasts me about 2 months with everyday use. Lastly, I discovered a lot of brow hairs when the product reached it's end - gross, I know, but also telling me something - maybe this product isn't as good for the health of my brows as it is for the appearance of them? All in all, I'm having mixed feelings with this one. I guess I'll continue to buy it as long as I won't find anything better (and there aren't many companies who do brow waxes, sadly).
Great product for my brows! Holds them in place all day, and gives my brows more definition. I use it almost everyday, and the tube has lasted me close to a year. I will definitely repurchase.
This is much better for me than brow set. I like this because it makes my brow powder last longer. I have the clear one and I prime my brows with this and shape them correctly before applying the Coquette eye shadow as a brow powder. I am surprised that more reviewers dont use this as a primer for the brow powder becuase if I apply brow powder on clean brows it wont last or stick that well. I love this an it will always be in my arsenal. I am sorry that I did not buy more than one tube when I was in Berlin because I am near a MAC counter about once a year only!
I am on my 3rd tube of this and I usually don't rebuy product because Im always trying new stuff. I LOVE this stuff! It has been a great fix when my eyebrows are in desperate need of grooming. The wax pencil has a twist tube which is the only part I've found I don't care for that much because my product is wearing unevenly and I have to keep shaving some off the top to even it out again. BUT, the texture of this pencil is fabulous and even in brown it has just a hint of color that you literally can not see even in the sunlight. You just swipe over your brows and it makes them lie nice and uniform. I just use a little brow pencil to fill in a couple spots and Oila! glamorous brows!
I didn't have to used any brushes or a second product to hold my brows. I have never been a big fan of brow gels, and I have always liked the idea of a wax but never found one that works with such ease!!
I will go back to buy again!!!
It does make my brows stay in place. It is discreet and looks natural. It makes my brows look conditioned and smooth. However, I also seem to lose more brow hairs than before. And I'm not sure if the product actually makes my brows healthier or if it just makes it appear healthier. I like the effect the product produces, but I'm not sure if it's actually healthy or good for my brow hairs in the long run. I like my brows full and thick, so I don't want to use this if it's actually causing brow loss.

PGI develops DNA sequence-based predictive algorithms, or Genome Apps, to guide livestock breeding and to assess human reproductive health. The company was created in 1999 based on a unique Mouse Model System to identify genes controlling fertility and reproductive longevity in mammals. Previous R&D showed that genes identified with the Model could predict productive lifetime (herd life) of Holstein dairy cows with 30% accuracy. The proof-of-concept, achieved with now-outdated genomics technologies, was leveraged by the Company to form a strategic collaboration with a major player in the livestock genomics market. PGI is currently closing financing of $250K from venture capital and $150K from grant sources to refine the analysis of the Model using the latest DNA Sequence technologies and work with the Industry Partner to validate applications of the Fertility Genes for livestock breeding. The business model is based on: 1) licensing out of livestock breeding and animal health applications to the Industry Partner in return for milestones and royalties; and 2) pursue longer-term partnering, financing and R&D for human applications and consumer genomics markets. The PGI Management includes a genomics serial entrepreneur, a leading genetic scientist from the livestock breeding industry and a retired banker from Truro Nova Scotia. Major research partners / collaborators include Genome Quebec / McGill University Innovation Centre (Montreal QC) and Dalhousie University Faculty of Computer Science researcher Dr. Rob Beiko (Halifax Nova Scotia).

Physics phenomena in the Negev
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
For 3rd year in a row, high school students at BGU's Ilan Ramon Center and Amit Beer Sheba take first place in international First Step to Nobel Prize competition.

"Once you're lucky, twice you're good, but when it happen three years running, there's got to be a pretty good reason," said Prof. Victor Melamed, the director of Physics at the Ilan Ramon Youth Physics Center at Ben- Gurion University of the Negev, explaining the success of Amit Beersheba high school students at the annual First Step to Nobel Prize competition held in Warsaw last month.
This year Eli Godinsky, Evelyn Genis and Danny Niemark, members of the physics program at the Ramon Center, took first, second and fourth place, respectively, in the prestigious competition.
The event brings together teams from the US, China and Europe. High school students submit projects that are then judged by professors of physics for originality and academic excellence.
Eli Godinsky, who won first place for his project on the theoretical study of the generation of large-scale turbulence with homogeneous wind shear, will begin the IDF Academic Reserve Program at BGU next fall, studying physics and computer science.
"This win came as a total surprise and I feel very honored," said Godinsky. "It was a lot of work but it was worth it. My studies at the center helped me decide to study physics at a university level – it opened a whole new world for me, showing me things I never would have been exposed to."
Evelyn Genis won second place for her project on phase transitions and incommensurate phase in the layered ferroelectric- semiconductor TlInS2 by means of nuclear magnetic resonance.
Daniel Niemark, whose research study of magnetic properties for nanocrystalline materials won fourth place, says that the center gives him a chance to see how research is conducted in the field.
"The lecturers treat us like regular university students," Niemark said. "They're always willing to explain, and make us really want to broaden our horizons."
Dr. Amnon Eldar, Amit CEO, announced that the students will be awarded for their achievements by Amit. "These students are a symbol of excellence and an example to young people."
Established in 2007 by the Moshav Ben Shemen-based Rashi Foundation of Israel, the Ilan Ramon Youth Physics Center – in collaboration with the university's Department of Physics – advances hands-on learning activities for high school students from Kiryat Gat to Eilat. The center, named in honor of Israel's first astronaut, who grew up in Beersheba, is located in the Sacta- Rashi Building for Physics and includes sophisticated laboratories, a planetarium and a rooftop observatory.
Winning once is impressive.
Winning twice is great, but three times in a row? "The fact that students from the Negev, Israel's most s o c i a l - e c o n o m i c a l l y depressed region, would achieve such fantastic success three years running," continues Prof. Melamed, "is more than just a fluke – it's phenomenal!" "In 2008 and 2009, the Tzabag sisters – first Mor and then Hadas – of Netivot, pupils at the center, won first place in the competition, causing much discussion about their 'fabulous physics genes,' but succeeding three years running shows that we are onto a system that works."
Malamud attributes much of the success to the Rashi Foundation, with support from the Ministry of Education and the Beersheba Municipality.
"Rashi sets a target and then will do anything to reach it. I am in awe of them, because they are actively realizing the Zionist vision. They really believe in the younger generation and are willing to invest whatever it takes to help our kids reach their full potential. In the present economic reality, this is not something that should be taken for granted," he exclaims.
Malamud, who made aliya in 1990 after he was fired from his job in the Soviet Union for being Jewish, describes himself as "determined – like a tank!" and says that in Rashi, "I found a true partner. Eli Elalouf, the CEO of the foundation, is an exceptional person. He is determined to succeed and tells me to 'keep bringing more pupils and doing what you doing, because no price is too high to pay for the results you're getting. Just do it!'" The Ramon Center's unique teaching methods also play a part: "Our dedicated team of instructors are crazy about teaching, and know how important it is to develop creative thinking. Israeli pupils are creative by definition, and you've got to cultivate that and get them to believe in themselves," says Malamud, who previously taught at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
The center implements PBL – Project Based Learning, a system created by Intel Israel.
"We don't just teach formulas and say, 'Go learn this by heart.' "It's important to give the students a full picture of how the world is built and only then to delve into the mathematical descriptions. Students need to get passionate about physics, to be interested in how this field can be applied to any area of science and especially to hi-tech industries, which is our chance to make a place for ourselves in the future," Malamud says.
"I try to get pupils interested by appealing to their Israeli-born competitiveness; they think, if my friends can do this, then maybe I can too."
And the center's connection to BGU makes the formula complete: "The university president Prof. Rivka Carmi gives us fantastic support. She never says no, and provides us with all the services we need to run the program. She realizes that these pupils are the future of BGU, and will eventually become the top students in engineering and in all sciences," Malamud says.
So what does it take to be fabulous in physics? Malamud believes every child has potential, "but someone who will go far in physics needs to be ambitious, willing to work hard, interested in science, and have to have good English."
Although you don't necessarily need a scientific background, you do need a supportive family that will cheer you on, "because studying at the center, in addition to your high school studies, demands high motivation: You have to be willing to cut down on computer games and soccer.
"Last years winner, Hadas Tzabag, would travel from her home town of Netivot to the center at six in the evening, after going to school all day, and do her research at the center till 10 almost every night."
In physics, as in life, Malamud says, "You've got to want it."

Hi ladies!! I haven't posted on any BZ boards in almost 3 years ( I was in the Feb 08 DDC for 2 years) and I have dearly missed them. I am rather new to this again since I see many things have changed. My little man will be 4 on Saturday! He is still nursing at will though! I really loved nursing him and my daughter both but I am feeling like 4 is the time to stop as he will be starting school in August. Does anyone have any tips on how to get him to wean off in a decent amount of time, or how to end it without really hurting his feelings or confusing him? I have tried to explain to him that when he turns 4 he cannot nurse anymore and when I ask him what happens when he turns 4 he says a birthday party and no more nursing. However, he still begs for it and when I tell him not now you have to wait he screams and cries. This is really the only time he throws fits like that except for a rare occassion. My husband really dislikes the fact I nursed him past 1 so that does not help either! I really would love to wean him off soon I just am unsure how to go about it. Should I just tell him the day after or on his birthday that no more and then stick to it or should I wean him off.
I will add that it is not constantly though the day. He wants it before bed usually until he falls asleep which I am not loving these days. He wants it when hes hurt or sad which I understand so I do not want to make him feel insecure or scared when he is sad or hurt.

3rd and Long: Patriots vs. Jets
I've spent nine weeks plotting and scheming ways to make fun of Rex Ryan for this weekend's matchup. Little did I know that he'd do all the work for me. Without further ado, Foxboro Blog provides an exclusive sneek peek into the Jets team meeting this past week. This is footage that you simply won't find anywhere else...
First Down: What a sissy...
Rex Ryan is clearly not a conventional coach. When he first took the Jets job, he decided that it would be a good idea ruffle the feathers of the league's best and most-deadly coach, a coach who happened to lead the team that had dominated the Jets' division for the past decade, a coach he would have to face twice a year. Sure, you can argue that the statement that Ryan didn't come to New York to "kiss Belichick's rings" wasn't actually derogatory, but it was unnecessary. Why bring up Belichick at all? Why start throwing fuel on a media fire? Belichick's beef with the Jets could have been over with the dismissal of Mangini. Parcells was gone, as were most of his former players, and the dirty rat who betrayed him had been flushed down the sewer. With the Jets rebuilding and Miami taking the division in 2008, it was the perfect time for the Jets to make nice and fly under the Patriots radar.
Instead, Rex Ryan decides to run his mouth and set the wrong example for his young team. When the Jets started chirping prior to their Week 2 matchup with New England, I believe that they were pouring a world of hurt on themselves. Luckily for them, the schedule makers happened to put the game very early in to Tom Brady's rehab and a week where the Pats were without Wes Welker. The Jets were surprisingly able to back up they're talk. Unfortunately, the world of hurt was not prevented, just delayed. It's now Week 11, and the once "up and coming" Jets have looked nothing more than pitiful in recent weeks. Turns out all that over-confidence and trash talk that I predicted would lead to their doom has done them in more quickly that I expected.
Talk is cheap. It's what you do on the field that counts. It's a tough lesson for a young team to learn, and perhaps one that's even harder on a new head coach. You see, the Jets' recent performance supposedly drove Rex Ryan to tears in a team meeting. The fat and bastardly one tried to play it off as a joke later in the week, but the damage has been done. I don't see Bill Belichick breaking out the water works any time soon, but even if he did, he's a three-time Super Bowl Champion head coach. He's got a reputation that commands respect. Rex Ryan, is a rooke coach. He runs his mouth. His fingers are constanly moist with the grease of fried chicken. He has questionable hygiene from an inabillity to properly wash all his body areas and clean underneath his rolls. And now he's breaking down crying after a loss to the Jaguars.
This cannot end well for New York.
2nd Down: No Man's an Island
Jet's cornerback Darrelle Revis had a good game against Randy Moss in Week 2. There's just no denying it. Revis, however, seems to want all the credit for Moss's lack of production. When Randy suggested that Revis may have had some help from his safties in covering Moss, Revis vehemently insisted that he was one-on-one vs. Moss the entire day. The message was clear: Revis did it all by himself.
The fact of the matter is, whether Revis had assistance from a saftey or not, he didn't do it all by himself. He played Moss well, perhaps better than anyone has since Randy became a Patriot, but he had help. The Jets' blitz had by far the biggest impact on the Patriots passing game in Week 2. Brady was pressured constantly in the game's second half, leading to a shut-out in quarters three and four. The Jets blanked the Patriots as a team. Moss was held to a lackluster day by that team. It wasn't all about Revis.
That's exactly the type of sentiment that you'd never hear out of the Patriots' locker room. When Brady has a big day, it's because of his line and his receivers. It's never about one person.
3rd Down: The Bounce Back
I haven't heard much talk of people wondering how the Patriots will "bounc back" from such a devastating loss in Indianapolis. Perhaps the media has finally learned their lesson. Perhaps the Patriots squelched all that talk themselves by the clear focus on the Jets during their interviews this week. That being said, this game isn't a fore-gone conclusion. The Jets will be bringing everything they've got. They're blitz was devastating in Week 2. If the Patriots fail to get a running game established, it could be a long afternoon. I'm not worried about Belichick, or Brady, or our defense bouncing back. I'm worried about Maroney. Our running game has been the achilles heel of this team all season. All the points in the world won't matter if the Patriots can't enforce their will and hold onto their leads as the game rolls on and the defense begins to tire. The ground game is gonig to be key both tomorrow and the rest of the '09 season.
And Long...
Patriots 24, Jets 3

In a new study, scientists theorize that giant, vegetation-munching sauropods emitted nearly as much methane each year into the warm atmosphere as do all natural and industrial sources today.
Worried about about global warming and the methane that cattle burp into the air? Be glad Brontosaurus is extinct.
Sauropods – giant, long-necked, prehistoric vegans that roamed the planet for more than 100 million years through the end of the age of dinosaurs – released nearly as much methane into the atmosphere each year as do all natural and industrial sources today, according to an estimate from scientists in Britain.
The team, led by Liverpool John Moores University biologist David Wilkinson, suggests that methane emissions from sauropods could have played a key role in sustaining a climate already warmed by carbon-dioxide concentrations some 2 to 6 times higher than today.
IN PICTURES: Fearsome dinosaurs
It was a world in which the poles were ice-free and crocodile-like creatures thrived in the Arctic. Scientists have pinned the high levels of carbon dioxide on widespread volcanic activity as plate tectonics rearranged continents.
CO2 and methane are both greenhouse-gases, with CO2 staying in the atmosphere far longer than methane. But while a newly minted methane molecule will remain airborne for only about 10 years, molecule for molecule, it is a far more potent greenhouse gas.
Back in the day, the warm wet climate and an atmosphere rich in CO2 would have turned much of the available land area into enormous smorgasbords, brimming with a wide variety of leafy treetops and fulsome shrubs – all within reach of the animals' long necks.

IV.From the outbreak of the Civil War to the execution of the King.
The effect of the Civil War is to be seen by comparing with the Nineteen Propositions (No. 53, p. 249), the Propositions presented to the King at Oxford on February 1, 1643 (No. 57, p. 262). So far as the constitutional proposals are concerned, the tendency of the latter document is to substitute indirect for direct action on the Crown. The following demands made in the Nineteen Propositions entirely disappear from the Oxford Propositions: namely, those for an oath to be taken by all Privy Councillors and Judges to maintain the Petition of Right and certain statutes to be named by Parliament (§ 11), for the dismissal of all Privy Councillors and Ministers of State except such as were approved by Parliament (§ 1); for the permanent rule that no Privy Councillor was to be appointed without the approbation of Parliament, and that no public act in which the Privy Council was to be consulted was to be recognised as proceeding from the King unless it was signed by the majority of the Council1 (§ 2); for the restriction of appointments of the chief officers of State to those whose nominations were approved by Parliament (§ 3); for the placing of the education of the King's children (§ 4) and their marriage (§ 5) under the control of Parliament; as well as to the restriction of the right of Peers hereafter created to sit and vote in Parliament to those who were admitted with the consent of both Houses (§ 19). In lieu of all this, in the Oxford Propositions, Parliament defined more clearly the exemptions which it demanded should be added to the general pardon to be issued, especially declaring that Newcastle and Digby were to be excluded (§ 13), and that Bristol and Herbert of Raglan were to be incapacitated from office (§ 6), whilst they contented themselves with asking for the restoration of such Parliamentary Justices of the Peace as had been put out of office since April 1, 1642, and for the deprivation of office of such as were excepted against by Parliament (§ 9), as well as for the restitution to office of such members of either House as had been deprived since the beginning of the Long Parliament (§ 14). To some extent, no doubt, these great concessions may be regarded as proceeding from a desire to conciliate Charles, and to make possible the peace which seemed more desirable after a brief experience of war than it had seemed before the commencement of hostilities. That there was no intention of conceding the substance of the dispute, appears from the fact that the claim put forward in the Nineteen Propositions to the command of the militia and forts (§§ 9, 15), is fully maintained in the Oxford Propositions (§ 7). The alterations made on the subject of the judges however require some consideration. In the Nineteen Propositions permanent provision was made for the submission of the nominations of the two Chief Justices and of the Chief Baron to the approbation of Parliament (§ 3), whilst the appointment of puisne judges was left as before in the hands of the King. In the Oxford Propositions the names of twelve persons were recommended for judgeships, and of one person for the Mastership of the Rolls (§ 8), whilst no provision was made for the choice of their successors. Taking these differences together, we seem to have arrived at a fresh stage in the constitutional ideas of the Long Parliament. In August, 1641, it seemed enough to wrest from the King the special powers acquired by the Crown since the accession of the Tudors, trusting to the power of stopping supplies to give everything else that might be needed. In June, 1642, it seemed necessary that Parliament should directly and permanently grasp the control over the military, administrative, and judicial powers of the Crown. In February, 1643, it appears to have been thought that financial and military control would be sufficient, without assigning to Parliament any permanent direct influence over the judicial and administrative appointments. Is it possible that this change was owing to an increasing perception of the truth that with Charles's successor it might be easier to come to terms, and that the only important difficulty was to tide over the years whilst Charles I, bred up as he had been under the old system, was still upon the throne? That Charles I should have consented, even to these modified constitutional proposals, was not to be expected; and it was the less likely that there should be any expression of feeling amongst his supporters in favour of their acceptance, as whilst the constitutional demands of Parliament had become less strict, its ecclesiastical demands had become more strict than in the preceding June. The Nineteen Propositions had asked the King to consent to such a reformation of the Church government and liturgy as Parliament might advise (§ 8). The Oxford Propositions demanded in addition the immediate abolition of Episcopacy. The removal from the House of all the Episcopalian members, who were now fighting on the King's side, had probably combined with the desire of Parliament to gain the military assistance of the Scots to bring about this change. When the negotiations at Oxford failed, and the prospects of success in the field grew more doubtful, the need for Scottish help grew more imperative. The terms of agreement between the two Parliaments were set forth in the Solemn League and Covenant (No. 58, p. 267). However helpful they may have been in bringing about the preponderance of the Parliamentary armies, they raised a fresh obstacle in the way of an understanding between the two English parties. Everything therefore boded a continuance of the war, and the union of the armies of the Parliaments of England and Scotland rendered it necessary to establish some authority which would control the united armies. This was done by the two Ordinances of February 16 (No. 59, p. 271) and May 22, 1644 (No. 60, p. 273) appointing a Committee of both Kingdoms. Though this Committee was only to manage the war, it may be regarded as the first attempt to give practical shape to the idea of a government residing in a body of men acting under the control of Parliament. The progress of the war in 1643 and 1644 resulted in sharpening the proposals presented to the King in November, 1644, and discussed at Uxbridge in the first months of 1645 (No. 61, p. 275). Not only did the demands for the exclusion from seats in the House of Lords of Peers afterwards created unless with the consent of Parliament, for the permanent submission of appointments of officers and judges to the approbation of Parliament, and for the education and marriage of the King's children being placed under Parliamentary control, which had been omitted from the Oxford Propositions, re-appear (§§ 19, 20, 21), but the necessity for Parliamentary approbation was to reach to all the judges instead of being confined to three as in the Nineteen Propositions, and there was added a new proposition asking that the right of declaring peace and war might only be exercised with the assent of Parliament (§ 23), and setting up a permanent body of Commissioners to act in combination with a similar body of Scottish Commissioners to control all military forces in both kingdoms with the most extensive powers (§ 17). Besides this, long lists were drawn up of the names of those Royalists who were to be subjected to divers penalties, and whole categories of unnamed persons were added, the expenses of the war being laid upon these Royalist delinquents (§ 14). As to religion in England, not only was it to be brought to the nearest possible uniformity with that of Scotland (§ 5), but the King himself was to swear and sign the Solemn League and Covenant (§ 2). Such demands can only have been made with the object of trampling upon the King's feelings as well as upon his political authority, and it would have been far more reasonable to ask his consent to an act of abdication than to such articles as these. Charles's counter-demands of January 21, 1645 (No. 62, p. 286), are conceived in a far more reasonable spirit. They appeal to the King's legal rights, asking, in short, that the Constitution should be accepted as it had stood at the end of August, 1641, and as it was to stand at the Restoration in 1660, and that the Common Prayer Book should be preserved from 'scorn and violence,' and that a Bill should 'be framed for the ease of tender consciences.' If constitutional settlements could be judged as they stand upon paper without reference to the character of those who would have to work them, there could be no doubt that the King's offer afforded at least an admirable basis for negotiation. To return to a legal position, and to allow the Houses to trust to their exclusive control over the supplies to win piecemeal reforms would be to anticipate the political situation of the Restoration Government. It was the general distrust of the character of Charles which made this impossible, and which made his abdication or dethronement the only possible temporary solution. It was the instinctive feeling that this was the case, combined with a strong disinclination to acknowledge that it was so, which led the party then predominant in Parliament to fling at the King the insulting Propositions of Uxbridge: and this party was that—not of wild fantics or dreamers—but of the steady Parliamentarians, whose voices were always raised in favour of peace. If the negotiations at Uxbridge failed, as fail they must, there was nothing for it but to prepare for war. The army was remodelled, and the new model army better paid and disciplined than former armies had been must be put under commanders who would think first of military success only, without being hampered by political considerations. To effect this, the Self-denying Ordinance was passed on April 3, 1645 (No. 63, p. 287), and in order to weaken the King's power the Houses drew up a Negative Oath (No. 64, p. 289) to be taken by Royalists who wished to forsake the King and to live peaceably under the protection of Parliament. The year 1645, the year of Naseby, was too fully occupied with military events to leave much time for constitutional reforms or proposals. On February 24, 1646, however, Wardship and all burdens connected with feudal tenures were abolished by order of the Houses (No. 65, p. 290), an immense boon to the gentry and nobility who formed the bulk of the members sitting in either House. On April 5, Parliament, hoping to win over some at least of the King's adherents, passed an Ordinance, authorising them to come under the protection of Parliament, on swearing what was known as the Negative Oath (No. 64, p. 289), engaging themselves to give no support to the King in future. On July 4, 1646, when the war was practically at an end, and the King was in the hands of the Scots at Newcastle, Parliament, in combination with the Scottish Commissioners residing at Newcastle, despatched fresh propositions to Charles (No. 66, p. 290). The Propositions of Newcastle were framed on those of Uxbridge, and were to a great extent identical with them. The demands for a Presbyterian settlement, for the King's taking the Covenant, for the appointment of judges and officers, for the sweeping penalties on delinquents, remained pretty much as they had been. The power of the Commissioners was however considerably modified, and the requests for subjecting peace and war as well as the education of the King's children to the control of Parliament disappeared entirely. The militia was to be placed under Parliamentary control for twenty years, a period which would probably embrace the whole of Charles's remaining lifetime. To these propositions Charles, on August 1, gave an evasive answer (No. 67, p. 306); and on December 20 he gave a second answer in a similar strain (No. 68, p. 308). When in February, 1647, the King was removed from the custody of the Scots at Newcastle to the custody of the English Parliament at Holmby House, it seemed as if there was no third course open to Parliament between the deposition of Charles and the acceptance of his terms. Charles had however been busy during the last months of his sojourn at Newcastle in holding out hopes of concession on his part, and especially of his granting Presbyterianism for three years, in the expectation that he would, during that period, be able to regain sufficient influence to obtain the restoration of Episcopacy and the Prayer Book when it came to an end. Parliament had now for some time been again split up into two parties. On the one side were the Presbyterians, who were attempting to organise an Erastian Presbyterianism in England, and whose principle was to substitute the predominance of Parliament in Church and State for that of the King. On the other side were the Independents, who wished to introduce a large, if not a complete toleration, and thus to liberate individual consciences from the control both of Parliament and King. As the Independents had a great hold upon the army, the Presbyterians, who in the beginning of 1647 commanded a majority in both Houses, had strong reasons for falling back on the King. The result was a consultation between their leaders, who were joined by one or two of the weaker Independents, such as the Earl of Northumberland, with the French ambassador Bellièvre, and the production on January 29 of a proposed answer which was to be sent through the Queen's hands to the King in order that, if he approved of it, he might return it to those who had drawn it up, on which they were ready to support the King's wish to come to London to enter into a personal negotiation with Parliament (No. 69, p. 309). On May 12, Charles sent to the Houses what was in form a third answer to the Propositions of Newcastle (No. 70, p. 311), but which was in reality intended to be a reply to the secret proposals of the Presbyterians, and which, in fact, accepted them with some not very important modifications. The historical importance of these two documents can hardly be overrated. In them the alliance was struck between the King and the Presbyterian party which led to the Second Civil War in 1648 and ultimately to the Restoration in 1660. The Presbyterians, with a majority in Parliament at their disposal, gave up the attempt to coerce Charles which they had made in the Nineteen Propositions, and in the Propositions of Oxford, of Uxbridge, and Newcastle, and fell back on the principle of re-establishing his authority as it was in August, 1641, in return for the concession, scarcely more than nominal, of a three years' Presbyterianism. The first step to the realisation of this scheme was an attempt on the part of the Presbyterians to get rid of the army, and when, chiefly through their mismanagement, the attempt failed, the army allied itself entirely with the Independents, carried off the King from Holmby House, and obtained the impeachment and suspension of the eleven leading Presbyterians in the House of Commons. On August 1, the army came forward with its own plan for the settlement of the kingdom, the Heads of the Proposals which were drawn up by Ireton and amended by the Council of the Army after they had been informally submitted to the King (No. 71, p. 316). The Heads of the Proposals were the most comprehensive attempt at a permanent settlement which had yet been devised. They did not, like the various propositions laid before Charles on former occasions, seek to establish a Parliamentary despotism upon the ruins of the despotism of the King. They proposed indeed to make the King's power subservient to that of the Parliament, but to lessen the power of Parliament by making it more amenable to the constituencies, and by restricting the powers of the State over the liberty of individuals. The first object was mainly to be gained by providing for biennial Parliaments and for a redistribution of seats, which, by suppressing what in later times were known as rotten boroughs, would have made Parliament more representative (§ I, 1-5). The second object was to be gained by the establishment of religious liberty, by depriving the Bishops of coercive jurisdiction, and by repealing all Acts imposing penalties upon attending or not attending on any special form of worship, or upon refusing to take the Covenant (§§ XI-XIII). With the power of Parliament thus attenuated, it remained to be considered what were to be its relations with the Crown. Here the necessity of distinguishing between restrictions needed whilst the excitement of the Civil War was calming down, and restrictions permanently necessary, was not left out of sight. The militia was to be placed for ten years under the Parliament. After that it was to be commanded by the King, but not without the advice and control of Parliament (§ II, 1, 2). For seven years there was to be a Council of State, the members of which were to be at once agreed on, and this Council of State was to superintend the militia and to conduct foreign negotiations, the final decision in peace or war being reserved to Parliament (§ III, 4, 5, 6). No attempt was made to interfere with the King's choice of his officers, except that Royalists who had borne arms against the Parliament were to be excluded from office for five years, and from sitting in Parliament till after the end of the second biennial Parliament (§ II, 4). No Peers created after May 21, 1642, were to sit in Parliament without the consent of the Houses (§ V). Acts under the King's Great Seal since it had been carried off from Parliament were to be declared invalid, and those under the Parliament's Great Seal to be valid (§ VII). Such were the principal proposals made in this noteworthy document. It is unnecessary to call attention to its vast superiority, from a constitutional point of view, to the Presbyterian plan of waiting upon events. Yet it was this very superiority which rendered it impossible to put it in execution. It contained too much that was new, too much in advance of the general intelligence of the times, to obtain that popular support without which the best Constitutions are but castles in the air; and even if this could have been got over, there was the fatal objection that it proceeded from an army. The Presbyterian plan was more suited to the slow and cautious progressiveness of human nature. It too, however, had for the present its root of failure in it, in that it was based on the calculation that Charles, if he were restored to power, would be amenable to Presbyterian pressure. He was already giving them hopes that he would be so. Before the end of July he had intimated to the Scots his readiness to make such concessions to them as would induce them to send an invading army to support the Presbyterians in England. The army, on its part, on August 6, took military possession of Westminster. Yet, even so, it found its hold upon Parliament uncertain, and instead of taking up the Heads of the Proposals, the Houses sent to the King a revised edition of the Propositions of Newcastle, differing only in a few unimportant particulars from the paper originally presented to Charles in 1646 by the Presbyterian Parliament and the Scots. In reply, the King, on September 9, despatched a letter expressing his preference for the army proposals (No. 72, p. 326). On November 11, he fled from Hampton Court, where he had been under the custody of the army, to the Isle of Wight, where he was placed in virtual imprisonment in Carisbrooke Castle. On November 16 he wrote a letter to the Speaker of the House of Lords (No. 73, p. 328), offering to abandon the militia during his own life, but refusing to abolish Episcopacy, and proposing three years' Presbyterianism, to be followed by a system to be approved of by the King and the Houses, with full liberty to all those who should differ on conscientious grounds from that settlement, and consenting to consider the proposals of the army concerning elections and the succession of Parliaments. Parliament replied on December 14, by sending the Four Bills (No. 75, p. 335), which, together with the accompanying demands, were tantamount to a reiterated request for the acceptance of the Propositions of Newcastle. On paper, at least, Charles had the advantage; but on December 26, he concluded a secret engagement with the Scottish Commissioners (No. 76, p. 347), on the basis of the three years' Presbytery, but substituting for the full liberty for those who differed from the final settlement of the Church a clause providing that an effectual course was to be taken 'for suppressing the opinions and practices of Anti-Trinitarians, Anabaptists, Antinomians, Arminians,' &c. On this ground the Parliament of Scotland was to require the disbandment of all armies, and if that was denied, to assert 'the right which belongs to the Crown in the power of the militia, the Great Seal, bestowing of honours and offices of trust, choice of Privy Councillors, the right of the King's negative voice in Parliament,' &c. (p. 349). If this were denied, a Scottish army was to invade England with these objects, and also to endeavour that there might be 'a free and full Parliament in England, and that a speedy period be set to this present Parliament.' By additional articles (No. 77, p. 353), Charles engaged to certain personal conditions in favour of Scotsmen. The discrepancy between the terms offered to the Scots and those which he offered to the English Parliament offers a good illustration of the difficulty of coming to terms with Charles. The simple addition of the words 'the right of the King's negative voice in Parliament,' made the rest worthless. He would start with the understanding that Episcopacy was established by the law of the land, and would therefore hold its legal position as soon as the three Presbyterian years were over, except so far as it was modified by mutual agreement between Charles and the Houses. As, however, he was, according to the rules of the old Constitution and his present claim, entitled to reject any compromise which he disliked, he would find himself, when the three years were over, master of the situation. Two days after the signature of the Engagement, Charles refused his consent to the Four Bills in a paper (No. 78, p. 353), to which the Houses replied on January 17, 1648, by the vote of No Addresses (No. 79, p. 356), breaking off all further negotiations with the King. The secret engagement with the Scots produced the Second Civil War. The army returned exasperated, and after an attempt of the Parliament to come again to terms with the King in the Treaty of Newport, carried out Pride's Purge, and on January 8, 1649, obtained from the members who still remained sitting an Ordinance for the erection of a High Court of Justice for the trial of the King (No. 80, p. 357). On January 15, 1649, whilst the King's fate was still in suspense, the Council of the Army set forth a document known as the Agreement of the People (No. 81, p. 359), a very much modified edition of the Agreement of the People offered by the Levellers in October, 1647 (No. 74, p. 333). It was a sketch of a written Constitution for a Republican Government based on the Heads of the Proposals, omitting everything that had reference to the King. The Heads of the Proposals had contemplated the retention of the Royal authority in some shape or another, and had been content to look for security to Acts of Parliament, because, though every Act was capable of being repealed, it could not be repealed without the consent both of the King and the Houses, and the Houses might be trusted to refuse their consent to the repeal of any Act which checked the despotism of the King; whilst the King could be trusted to refuse his consent to the repeal of any Act which checked the despotism of the Houses. With the disappearance of Royalty the situation was altered. The despotism of Parliament was the chief danger to be feared, and there was no possibility of averting this by Acts of the Parliament itself. Naturally, therefore, arose the idea of a written Constitution, which the Parliament itself would be incompetent to violate. According to the proposed scheme, the existing Parliament was to be dissolved on April 30, 1649. After this there was to be a biennial Parliament without a House of Lords, a redistribution of seats, and a rating franchise. For seven years all who had adhered to the King were to be deprived of their votes, and during the first and second Parliaments only those who had by contributions or by personal service assisted the Parliament, or who had refrained from abetting certain combinations against Parliament, were to be capable of being elected, whilst those who had actually supported the King in the war were to be excluded for fourteen years. Further, no official was to be elected. There was to be a Council for 'managing public affairs.' Further, six particulars were set down with which Parliament could not meddle, all laws made on those subjects having no binding force. As to religion, there was to be a public profession of the Christian religion 'reformed to the greatest purity of doctrine,' and the clergy were to be maintained 'out of a public treasury,' but 'not by tithes.' This public religion was not to be 'Popery or Prelacy.' No one was to be compelled to conformity, but all religions which did not create disturbances were to be tolerated. It was not, however, to be understood 'that this liberty shall necessarily extend to Popery or Prelacy,' a clause the meaning of which is not clear, but which was probably intended to leave the question open to Parliament to decide. The Article on Religion was, like the six reserved particulars, to be out of the power of Parliament to modify or repeal. The idea of reserving certain points from Parliamentary action was one which was subsequently adopted in the American Constitution, with this important difference, that the American Constitution left a way open by which any possible change could be effected by consulting the nation; whilst the Agreement of the People provided no way in which any change in the reserved powers could be made at all. In short, the founders of the American Constitution understood that it was useless to attempt to bind a nation in perpetuity, whilst the English Council of the Army either did not understand it, or distrusted the nation too far to make provision for what they knew must come in time. It was this distrust of the nation—perfectly justified as far as themselves and their projects were concerned—which made it hopeless for the Council of the Army to build up the edifice which they designed. It is well to note that the document which to every sober student of Constitutional History seems evidence that the scheme of the army was a hopeless one, was published before the execution of the King. That that execution made the difficulties in the way of the establishment of a Republic greater than they had been, it is impossible to deny; but the main difficulties would have existed even if the King had been deposed instead of executed. There are two foundations upon which government must rest if it is to be secure, traditional continuity derived from the force of habit, and national support derived from the force of will. The Agreement of the People swept the first aside, and only trusted the latter to a very limited extent. The King's execution was not long in following. On January 20 the charge against him was brought before the High Court of Justice (No. 82, p. 371). On the 21st, Charles delivered his reasons for declining the jurisdiction of the Court (No. 83, p. 374). Sentence of death was pronounced on the 27th (No. 84, p. 377). The death-warrant was signed on the 29th (No. 85, p. 380), and on the 30th Charles I was beheaded. [1 ] Thus anticipating the well-known clause in the Act of Settlement. |

Sometimes they're a style-over-substance gimmick or a feature squeezed into 15 or 20 minutes (don't even get us started on short films with A-List actors in them). "Style-over-substance gimmick" could probably be hurled at Doron Max Hagay's "Erica Wexler Is Online" (featured on the great website "Short Of The Week") with one sight of the logline, but the humorous, melancholic faux-documentary is actually quite a moving experience and has plenty to say about the current generation's placid relationship with social networking websites.
After being taken from this world at too young an age, the fictional Erica Wexler continues to operate her Facebook page from the grave, offering advice and telling the future for those lucky enough to be on her friends list. "What stuck with me about the concept was the twist it offered on the classic ghost story. Asking a metaphysical question, what if the dead spoke to us, but not in person? It's not as if the ghost is coming and touching your shoulder and whispering in your ear, you just get a message on your wall or in your inbox. The dead are de-fanged," explained Hagay.
It's something extraordinary, and a thing everyone has an opinion on: former classmates ("The Hunger Games" fans: check out a naturalistic, comfortable performance by Brooke Bundy, who plays Octavia in the hit YA films), boyfriends, neighbors, and even mere acquaintances are interviewed about this phenomenon, though few have any idea as to why or how this is happening (one or two offer up their suspicions that end up holding little water). It does lead to some hilarious, deadpan wall exchanges which are reproduced on the screen one comment at a time, from Erica telling a friend she got into Ramapo College to warning ex-boyfriend Ian that his latest main squeeze has herpes. It's not all fun and games, though, and an exchange between Erica and her mother is downright heartbreaking -- the pacing of the comments and the weighty, simplistic writings contain more heart, for our money, than any short we've ever seen.
Though it works well as a stand alone, concise oddity, "Erica Wexler Is Online" was adapted from a short-story and originally envisioned as something longer. "It was conceived as a feature length screenplay. When I wrote it I was probably two years out of college and I had a strong feeling that this was the one to make. So to be able to do that feasibly, I broke the feature script into six parts and produced the first part, which is the movie online right now," stated Hagay. "I recently saw a few episodes of 'The Beauty Inside' directed by Drake Doremus (also featured on "Short Of The Week"), and it employs a now classic short form episodic structure that I think would work really nicely for Erica Wexler." Plans are being made to expand the world of 'Wexler,' and though they might be somewhat far off, it's something the film's new fans can look forward to.
It's a quick and powerful watch, and you can check it out right here. For those that can't get enough, Hagay has plenty of other smart films under his belt, including short "Acting" and feature "Perfect Thoughts," both part of his experiments with mini DV and both fantastic. Hungry for more Erica Wexler? You can add her on Facebook, but FYI... she's dead.
