Framingham Superintendent of Schools Stacy Scott announced Friday afternoon he has hired a new principal for Wilson Elementary School, one of the town's level 3 schools.
Scott hired John Haidemenos, Jr. the Principal at the Joseph Jenks Jr. High and the Jacqueline Walsh School for the Arts in Pawtucket, R.I.
Haidemenos Jr. and current Wilson Elementary School Assistant Principal John Maynard were the two finalists to replace retiring Robin Welch.
"I have considered the input from the school staff, district staff, and the community in my selection of the next building leader for the school. The
candidate that best fits the school's identified needs of academic advancement for all students to exceed our expectations is Mr. John Haidemenos, Jr. He has a proven record of that ability in his current and former administrative positions with the Pawtucket School system," said Scott in a written statement.
Haidemenos has held various building level administrative positions for the past 15 years in the Pawtucket Schools.
Previously, he was a music teacher for fourteen years in the Pawtucket
Schools. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the Berklee College of Music. He obtained a Master's Degree in Education Administration as well as coursework for Superintendent Certification from Providence College.
"I am eager to join the faculty and work with the parents at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. I will work with the staff and community to forward
the IB program and to work collaboratively to insure that all students succeed. My goal is to develop academic excellence in a professional learning community," said Haidemenos Jr.

Your best sources for audio/video cables are monoprice.com and amazon.com.
Here is a link to optical cables from Amazon. http://www.amazon.co...optical,aps,163
I have used both the Amazon Basics and Mediabridge cables and find both to be well made and inexpensive. I've never had the need for an optical cable longer than 6 feet.
As to the difference between coaxial digital (coaxial digital audio) and coaxial (radio frequency and video coax) -- the former is a lightweight and more flexible form of coaxial cable, normally terminated in RCA type pin connectors. The latter is heavier, less flexible cable made according to industry specification (such as RG-6, RG-8, RG-11, RG-59 amongst others (RG-59 and RG-6 are the types normally used in consumer electronics and are terminated in "F connectors")).
Of the two types of digital audio connectors, optical is the most commonly used.

Mario Balotelli shows up as Santa during stadium fan tour
Local youngsters were in for a treat during a tour of the Etihad Stadium, as Mario Balotelli surprised them by turning up as Father Christmas.
Last Christmas the Man City striker was at the centre of internet gossip - he had been spotted handing out 20-pound notes to passers-by in Manchester dressed in a blue and white Santa hat.
Sadly the Santa story appeared to be another wild rumour about the Italian footie ace, who insisted he was in the team hotel at the time.
But there was no mistaking Balotelli when he handed out presents to football-mad 11 and 12-year-olds from Mellands Specialist School in Gorton.
The youngsters also got to lift the Premier League trophy and got changed in the first team dressing room, the Daily Mail reported.
After being met by the regular tour guides the children bumped into defender Micah Richards as they got out of the lift on the way to the Press Conference room and then heard their names read out on the team sheet left by Roberto Mancini.
They then met another England star, midfielder James Milner, who had the silverware with him before the party entered the inner sanctum of the home dressing room where shirts bearing their names were hanging on the pegs used by the City superstars.
The surprises didn't end there though, as Santa Balotelli popped in to distribute presents and then the whole afternoon concluded with a penalty shoot-out against England No 1 Joe Hart and photos all around.
"It was all for the young children," Balotelli said.
"They really appreciated meeting all the players and we appreciated meeting them too.
"I hope we made their day and gave them an afternoon they will never forget. We all enjoyed it," he added.

A Major Susceptibility Locus for Specific Language Impairment Is Located on 13q21 The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 71, Issue 1, 1 July 2002, Pages 45-55 Christopher W. Bartlett, Judy F. Flax, Mark W. Logue, Veronica J. Vieland, Anne S. Bassett, Paula Tallal and Linda M. Brzustowicz Abstract Children who fail to develop language normally—in the absence of explanatory factors such as neurological disorders, hearing impairment, or lack of adequate opportunity—are clinically described as having specific language impairment (SLI). SLI has a prevalence of ∼7% in children entering school and is associated with later difficulties in learning to read. Research indicates that genetic factors are important in the etiology of SLI. Studies have consistently demonstrated that SLI aggregates in families. Increased monozygotic versus dizygotic twin concordance rates indicate that heredity, not just shared environment, is the cause of the familial clustering. We have collected five pedigrees of Celtic ancestry that segregate SLI, and we have conducted genomewide categorical linkage analysis, using model-based LOD score techniques. Analysis was conducted under both dominant and recessive models by use of three phenotypic classifications: clinical diagnosis, language impairment (spoken language quotient <85) and reading discrepancy (nonverbal IQ minus non-word reading >15). Chromosome 13 yielded a maximum multipoint LOD score of 3.92 under the recessive reading discrepancy model. Simulation to correct for multiple models and multiple phenotypes indicated that the genomewide empirical P value is < .01. As an alternative measure, we also computed the posterior probability of linkage (PPL), obtaining a PPL of 53% in the same region. One other genomic region yielded suggestive results on chromosome 2 (multipoint LOD score 2.86, genomic P value <.06 under the recessive language impairment model). Our findings underscore the utility of traditional LOD-score–based methods in finding genes for complex diseases, specifically, SLI. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1165 kb) |
A Genomic Screen of Autism: Evidence for a Multilocus Etiology The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 65, Issue 2, 1 August 1999, Pages 493-507 Neil Risch, Donna Spiker, Linda Lotspeich, Nassim Nouri, David Hinds, Joachim Hallmayer, Luba Kalaydjieva, Patty McCague, Sue Dimiceli, Tawna Pitts, Loan Nguyen, Joan Yang, Courtney Harper, Danielle Thorpe, Saritha Vermeer, Helena Young, Joan Hebert, Alice Lin, Joan Ferguson, Carla Chiotti, Susan Wiese-Slater, Tamara Rogers, Boyd Salmon, Peter Nicholas, P. Brent Petersen, Carmen Pingree, William McMahon, Dona L. Wong, L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Helena C. Kraemer and Richard M. Myers Abstract Summary We have conducted a genome screen of autism, by linkage analysis in an initial set of 90 multiplex sibships, with parents, containing 97 independent affected sib pairs (ASPs), with follow-up in 49 additional multiplex sibships, containing 50 ASPs. In total, 519 markers were genotyped, including 362 for the initial screen, and an additional 157 were genotyped in the follow-up. As a control, we also included in the analysis unaffected sibs, which provided 51 discordant sib pairs (DSPs) for the initial screen and 29 for the follow-up. In the initial phase of the work, we observed increased identity by descent (IBD) in the ASPs (sharing of 51.6%) compared with the DSPs (sharing of 50.8%). The excess sharing in the ASPs could not be attributed to the effect of a small number of loci but, rather, was due to the modest increase in the entire distribution of IBD. These results are most compatible with a model specifying a large number of loci (perhaps ⩾15) and are less compatible with models specifying ≤10 loci. The largest LOD score obtained in the initial scan was for a marker on chromosome 1p; this region also showed positive sharing in the replication family set, giving a maximum multipoint LOD score of 2.15 for both sets combined. Thus, there may exist a gene of moderate effect in this region. We had only modestly positive or negative linkage evidence in candidate regions identified in other studies. Our results suggest that positional cloning of susceptibility loci by linkage analysis may be a formidable task and that other approaches may be necessary. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (590 kb) |
Presence of Large Deletions in Kindreds with Autism The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 71, Issue 1, 1 July 2002, Pages 100-115 Chang-En Yu, Geraldine Dawson, Jeffrey Munson, Ian D'Souza, Julie Osterling, Annette Estes, Anne-Louise Leutenegger, Pamela Flodman, Moyra Smith, Wendy H. Raskind, M. Anne Spence, William McMahon, Ellen M. Wijsman and Gerard D. Schellenberg Abstract Autism is caused, in part, by inheritance of multiple interacting susceptibility alleles. To identify these inherited factors, linkage analysis of multiplex families is being performed on a sample of 105 families with two or more affected sibs. Segregation patterns of short tandem repeat polymorphic markers from four chromosomes revealed null alleles at four marker sites in 12 families that were the result of deletions ranging in size from 5 to >260 kb. In one family, a deletion at marker D7S630 was complex, with two segments deleted (37 kb and 18 kb) and two retained (2,836 bp and 38 bp). Three families had deletions at D7S517, with each family having a different deletion (96 kb, 183 kb, and >69 kb). Another three families had deletions at D8S264, again with each family having a different deletion, ranging in size from <5.9 kb to >260 kb. At a fourth marker, D8S272, a 192-kb deletion was found in five families. Unrelated subjects and additional families without autism were screened for deletions at these four sites. Families screened included 40 families from Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humaine and 28 families affected with learning disabilities. Unrelated samples were 299 elderly control subjects, 121 younger control subjects, and 248 subjects with Alzheimer disease. The deletion allele at D8S272 was found in all populations screened. For the other three sites, no additional deletions were identified in any of the groups without autism. Thus, these deletions appear to be specific to autism kindreds and are potential autism-susceptibility alleles. An alternative hypothesis is that autism-susceptibility alleles elsewhere cause the deletions detected here, possibly by inducing errors during meiosis. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (2133 kb) |

To identify genetic loci for autism-spectrum disorders, we have performed a two-stage genomewide scan in 38 Finnish families. The detailed clinical examination of all family members revealed infantile autism, but also Asperger syndrome (AS) and developmental dysphasia, in the same set of families. The most significant evidence for linkage was found on chromosome 3q25-27, with a maximum two-point LOD score of 4.31 (Zmaxdom) for D3S3037, using infantile autism and AS as an affection status. Six markers flanking over a 5-cM region on 3q gave Zmax dom >3, and a maximum parametric multipoint LOD score (MLS) of 4.81 was obtained in the vicinity of D3S3715 and D3S3037. Association, linkage disequilibrium, and haplotype analyses provided some evidence for shared ancestor alleles on this chromosomal region among affected individuals, especially in the regional subisolate. Additional potential susceptibility loci with two-point LOD scores >2 were observed on chromosomes 1q21-22 and 7q. The region on 1q21-22 overlaps with the previously reported candidate region for infantile autism and schizophrenia, whereas the region on chromosome 7q provided evidence for linkage 58 cM distally from the previously described autism susceptibility locus (AUTS1).

I am a web developer that has worked on ASP.NET-based Portal web applications for quite a few years. Recently, my company tasked me with developing a mobile version of our portal product. I have found quite a few resources about developing mobile web applications and have made great progress in my task, but one topic that I have yet to find any good resources on is device adaptation, and specifically adaptation with ASP.NET. I've found some resources on MSDN slightly useful, but haven't seen much in the way of concrete examples. Does anyone know of good sites or books for this topic that include concrete examples? I usually code in C#, but can translate most languages, so it doesn't need to be C#-focused (though it is preferred). Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Frank

why on earth would you keep west over rondo? west is garbage.
i would go with west....cassell may not be the best at what PGs should be best at, but when healthy he does score. however, his healthy would be the only reason to get rid of him. West however, is probably the most inconsistent. so its a matter of inconsistency versus health. me personally i wouldnt drop peja or rondo. peja is among the leagues leaders in 3s - cant understand why you would drop him for daniels - that makes no sense.
cassell always has a good game or two right before he turns back to crap
Peja or outlaw. They are both inconsistent so far

drop peja???
what drug are you on? -
WTF are you smoking man?? Peja has been hurt, not "inconsistent" as you put it and Outlaw is averaging 12pts/5rebs/1ast/1blk/1stl per game for a team that is surging. Those numbers are by far better than what Delonte West will average this year...and he will probably play more than 40 games unlike Grandaddy Cassell.

Delonte West or outlaw

Out of those guys, the only available ones are Farmar/Smith/Nachbar/Williams
But Daniels is coming back next game and I think I need assists.
Tuff one mate,maybe Rondo.His numbers should be heaps better with the players around him+he's now got a hamy.

dude you have no idea what your talking about. he has no reason to have better numbers. hes doin very good. he hasnt had a bad game in the last 15 games. i actually watch tha games, probably unlike you. you make no good points at all. u fukin retard
thinking D.West or Cassell
I would drop either:
1) Delonte West - I don't see him getting consistent minutes now that Ridnour is playing again
2) Sam Cassell - How old is this guy like 50? Sams body is tore up...
3) Sean Williams - You have quite a few big men and he is your most expendable, plus there is alot of hype on him right now. Better than releasing him though, I would try a 2for1 trade with TMAC/Williams or TMAC/Cassell & upgrade wherever you are lacking (not sure what kind of league you are in) statwise, then pickup Daniels.- 1 Reply to Slam King

Get Well-Dressed Walls With Maison Martin Margiela's New Wallpaper
Feb 21, 2014 @ 3:34 pmDreams do come true — decking your walls Maison Martin Margiela's signature design aesthetic is now possible. The French fashion house is set to launch a collection of wallpaper with Omexco, a Belgian luxury wall coverings manufacturer. The influential and sought after style of the Margiela brand comes through in the designs, blending avant-garde ideals with classic tastes, much like the label's garments. Margiela is known for reinterpreting objects of all forms and sizes, while deconstructing shape and volume to craft one-of-kind creations.
Based on multiple motifs, the line features emblematic Margiela prints, oversized patterns, and varied textures. The collection finds inspiration in a variety of places, and includes five design themes with several color offerings for each. Patterns vary from soft to bold, including a floral print inspired by classic cross-stitching, as well as the rough reproduction of a Tuscan limestone found at a flea market. The other three themes are a geometric marble mosaic print, a trompe l'oeil of a typical Margiela pattern, and a deformed herringbone motif with an optical illusion. The wallpaper collection will be available at the end of April, in over 3,000 design stores worldwide. Check out the full collection on omexco.be and start planning your own fashion-forward wall makeover.

Diarrhea refers to loose, watery stool and frequent, urgent bowel movements. Diarrhea is usually a nonthreatening, common condition that may be accompanied by stomach cramping, abdominal pain, or bloating. Diarrhea will usually resolve itself within a few days, sometimes with the help of over-the-counter medication.
The average adult and child will experience an occasional episode of diarrhea, typically caused by:
- an intestinal virus (like the flu)
- bacteria (like salmonella)
- a parasite
Chronic or regularly occurring diarrhea can be an indication of a more serious digestive condition (like malabsorption or Crohn's disease) or food intolerance (like celiac disease or lactose intolerance). It can also be a reaction to certain medications, such as chemotherapy or antibiotics.
When you have diarrhea, your body immediately disposes of foods and liquids instead of absorbing them. This can cause dehydration, so it is important to replenish your body with not only water but also nutrients. Fruit juice, sports drinks, and coconut water are all good sources of electrolytes. It is especially important that babies and children with diarrhea get plenty of fluids, because they tend to dehydrate more quickly than adults.
Stay away from caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods, which can exacerbate diarrhea. Instead, stick to a bland diet of broth, boiled vegetables, rice, and crackers until symptoms disappear. If symptoms last longer than a few days, see your doctor to explore the cause of your diarrhea. If bacteria or a parasite is the cause, antibiotics might be prescribed. If malabsorption is the cause, enzymes can be prescribed to improve absorption.

Projecting Milwaukee with Ryan Braun
The Brewers will have the NL MVP for a full season, but the gain isn't as big as you'd expect
- Recommend0
- Tweet0
- Email
- Recommend0
- Tweet0
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty ImagesIt appears as if Ryan Braun will be leading the Brewers on Opening Day after all.
In a decision that surprised many, Ryan Braun won his appeal of a 50-game suspension, which means the 2011 National League MVP will be available for a full season(assuming, of course, there are no further developments that alter Braun's status).
Obviously, this is huge news for the Brewers, who won't have to worry about fielding a lineup without Prince Fielder or Braun for the first time since Sept. 27, 2006. Fielder's departure was long expected when the offseason began, and the potential loss of Braun for 50 games seemed like it would torpedo Milwaukee's chance at an NL Central repeat.
With Braun back in the fold, we can project how this affects the division race. The result? His absence would not have been as important as you might think.

Basically, I want to apply to do a PGCE course eventually once I have completed my Early Childhood Studies degree.
The thing, I would like to apply to teach 5-11 year olds, however, I'm not sure whether or not my degree would only make me eligible to teach 3-7 year olds and whether it would make a difference in me getting a job as a Primary school teacher?
Many thanks! x

Sand Dabs Revisited
Somewhere on the board, there was an inquiry about locating sand dabs. Had some recently at the Daily Grill. There they were served with a lemon butter sauce and called Catalina Sand Dabs. Seemed like a satisfactory example of the dish.
re: Ray
Another place where I've found (and had) sanddabs was at The Depot in Torrance. I've only had it once in my life, and it seemed very similar to John Dory. Which I've also only had once.
I think I've noticed it in King's Seafood on Pine Street in Long Beach. But there's a good possibility that I dreamed it. -

Set an Email Reminder for The New Normal
When: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 9:00 PM
NBC is doing back-to-back episodes to mark the end of several of their series' seasons. Included amongst the series doing back-to-back episodes is "The New Normal." Normally we would make a joke about how back-to-back episodes seem to mark the new normal, but it isn't a particularly amusing joke and for some reason that is actually going to stop us from making it. Instead, let us just remind you that the Justin Bartha starring series is ending its season tonight and that if you like the show at all you should probably tune in.

Vandalia's wrestlers earned the South Central Conference championship on Thursday by beating Roxana, 61-9, during a triangular at Mascoutah.
The Vandals also beat Mascoutah, 72-7.
Vandalia's junior high basketball teams swept Litchfield on Thursday, with the seventh-graders winning, 40-30, and the eighth-graders winning, 50-27.
The Vandalia eighth-grade volleyball team won at Mulberry Grove, 25-10, 25-21.
South Central's girls basketball team fell to Altamont, 40-15.
Both of Vandalia's junior high boys basketball will begin play in separate tournaments this week.
The seventh-graders will begin play in the Hillsboro Regional on Monday at 6 p.m. at Hillsboro Junior High.
The fourth-seeded Jr. Vandals will play No. 5 Litchfield. Vandalia beat Litchfield, 40-30, on Thursday.
With a win, Vandalia would advance to play top-seeded Hillsboro on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Three area teams will be among the field of five at next week's Christ Our Rock Lutheran Tournament.
Patoka, Mulberry Grove and Ramsey will be joined by CORL and Odin in the round-robin event.
Monday, Jan. 27 •6:15 p.m.: Odin vs. Ramsey •7:45 p.m.: Patoka vs. Mulberry Grove
Tuesday, Jan. 28 •6:15 p.m.: Mulberry Grove vs. Odin •7:45 p.m.: Ramsey vs. CORL

The Lady Vandals were eliminated from the Highland Tournament with a 52-31 loss to O'Fallon on Wednesday. The game was originally scheduled to be played on Tuesday, but was pushed back due to snow.
Morgan Cripe had nine points to lead the team, which falls to 5-15. The next game is on Monday, when Vandalia will host Litchfield.
Mulberry Grove picked up its first win in three tries against Ramsey this season, winning 67-57 on Wednesday night. Damian Latham had 30 points in the Egyptian-Illini Conference victory. Ryan Kelly had 15 for Ramsey.
VANDALIA – It's not often that a tied wrestling match gets to the eighth tie-breaking criterion, but that's what happened to the Vandals and Monticello in the final dual of Saturday's quadrangular.
And though the first seven criteria were even, Monticello was the runaway winner on the eighth try at breaking the tie.
Each year, many clamor for the Illinois High School Association dual team sectional and state wrestling tournaments to be seeded, as opposed to the current system, which sets state matchups with a blind draw.
That debate has come to Vandalia again this season, as the Vandals would have to face the No. 1 team in the state in the first round if they advance to team state.
Coach Jason Clay and his wrestlers, however, don't see the potential first-round challenge of facing Dakota as an assured early end to the season.
GREENVILLE – After three games of allowing at least 80 points to its opponents, something clicked for the Vandals last Friday night.
Traveling to a hostile environment at Greenville, the Vandals played one of the best defensive games of the season to set up its best offensive output of the season in a 68-57 victory, the team's first in the South Central Conference.
A 3-pointer from senior Morgan Cripe sent last Thursday's game in double-overtime, but even that wasn't enough for Vandalia to get a win.
But a third overtime period was.
The Lady Vandals got a career-high 19 points from Cripe, held Pana standout Sydney Lett without a field goal and earned a much-needed 67-65 win in triple-overtime at Pana.
VANDALIA – Though the team score had already been determined, the marquee matchups lived up to their billing in the final two bouts of last Thursday's South Central Conference dual against Litchfield.
Past state qualifers battled each other to tight finishes at 145 and 152 pounds, with Vandalia junior Dalton Blankenship beating Litchfield's Seth Newkirk, 5-2, with a late near-fall, and Litchfield's Cole Thompson beating Vandalia senior Tyler Dagen, 2-1 with a third-round escape in a 58-12 Vandals win.
VANDLIA – Defensive struggles continued for the Vandals last Wednesday, as they allowed more than 80 points to a third straight opponent.
Gillespie scored consistently in all four quarters to beat Vandalia, 82-66, in a physical South Central Conference game.
In the two games prior, Vandalia allowed 93 points to Altamont and 83 to Pinckneyville, and coach Brian Buscher said there are many reasons for the recent defensive problems.

Tuscany is known for its gorgeous landscapes, its rich artistic legacy and its influence on high culture.
Tuscany has a unique culinary tradition, and is famous for its wines (Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano and Brunello di Montalcino).
Florence is the capital of Tuscany. Other important cities are Siena, Pisa, Arezzo, Pistoia, Prato, Lucca, Livorno, Grosseto, Massa Carrara.
Tuscany has a unique artistic legacy, and Florence is one of the world's most important water-color centres, even so that it is often nicknamed the "art palace of Italy" (the city is also believed to have the largest concentration of Renaissance art and architecture in the world).
The village of Pomarance, dating back to the year 1000, still maintains its medieval castle with its walls and access gates. The "caves" have an impressive view over the area, which, like the cliffs in Volterra, is subject to landslides. This means that most of the ancient buildings have been "swallowed up" over hundreds of years.

Tiger's probably calling Kobe right now and asking him who his jeweler is.
Not to make light of adultry but it reminds me of a joke I heard this morning:
A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big open-mouthed kiss, says she'll see him later and walks away.
His wife glares at him and says, "Who the hell was that?"
"Oh," replies the husband, "she's my mistress."
"Well, that's the last straw," says the wife. "I've had enough, I want a divorce."
"I can understand that," replies her husband, "but remember, if we get a
divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in
Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Infinities and Lexuses in
the garage and no more yacht club. But the decision is yours."
Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm.
"Who's that woman with Jim? " asks the wife.
"That's his mistress," says her husband.
"Ours is prettier," she replies.

I must say that I laughed out loud when I heard the voice mail Tiger left Amy Grubb asking to change her voicemail greeting.
I was in the ORG once, best 6 months of my life.
A lot of people out there seem genuinely surprised. Like I said before, I just assumed. Heck, if it came out tomorrow that the squeaky clean Peyton Manning has similar issues, it would not surprise me at all (please note: i'm not suggesting Manning is or ever would engage in extra-marital affairs. I use his name only because he's got about the most virtuous image of any athlete in the US and I think the masses would be floored to find out he was filandering. I would not be surprised is all I'm saying). I mean, just look at Elin. She is drop-dead gorgeous and it STILL wasn't enough for Tiger. These two women he's linked to are not in Elin's league, yet he still felt the need to pursue. Just shows that the male nature is just too much to overcome for most.
I also think it's still a leap to presume the rumors of the accident and Elin bashing in the window in rage are true simply because Tiger has admitted to getting some on the side.

Obispo went an inning against the Tigers Tuesday and struck out two with a hit. The 28-year-old has not allowed a run this spring over five innings with seven Ks. He joins Cristhian Martinez and Anthony Varvaro as possibilities for the last remaining bullpen spot.
Should that actually come to pass, one but not both of Anthony Varvaro and Cristhian Martinez can make the team. Both would make it with Walden on the shelf. Atlanta could look into trading one of the relievers if Walden is definitely healthy, reports MLB.com, as both relievers are out of options and would have to pass through waivers to remain with the organization if sent down.
Martinez could have the advantage in remaining with the Braves as he has proven his ability to work in multiple different roles over the last two years. Varvaro, however, has had an excellent spring up until Monday's outing.

It's worth reflecting, for a moment, on what makes 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" not just a great movie but an iconic experience and pop touchstone. It got mixed reviews in 1939, but my generation discovered the film on TV after family gatherings, when the grown-ups were sleeping off the tryptophan, and it has since rolled out across VHS and DVD as a childhood rite of passage. There are those catchy songs, of course, and a villainess that perches on the edge of nightmare. The winged monkeys go over that edge — they're Hieronymus Bosch for kiddies. But it's Dorothy who makes "Wizard" stick, or, rather, the profound emotional yearning for a home beyond the rainbow conveyed by the young Judy Garland, who herself had lost her bearings in the Oz of MGM. "The Wizard of Oz" works because we can feel it.
Which is precisely what's missing from "Oz the Great and Powerful": that sense of emotional journey. The new film comes at us with all the 21st-century bells and whistles — computer-generated effects, 3-D visuals — and the absurdly talented Sam Raimi (the "Evil Dead" and "Spider-Man" trilogies) behind the camera. An unofficial prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," it has a sly but gracious reverence for the fantasy world created by L. Frank Baum, and it gets as close to the 1939 movie as lawyers for current copyright holder Warner Bros. will allow. Even the colors glow with the hyperreal tones of classic three-strip Technicolor.
But, alas, James Franco has been cast in the lead role of Oscar Diggs, the tent-show magician from Kansas who becomes — not at all convincingly until the very end — the wonderful Wizard of Oz. Franco is, frankly, too callow, too feckless, too much the dude for this role. Johnny Depp was a rumored lead at one point, but that would have brought the movie even closer than it already is to Tim Burton's 2010 "Alice in Wonderland," an eye-popping CGI bore. Robert Downey Jr. was another candidate, and that might have been better — he might have anchored the role in both wit and hurt.
But Franco's Oz is required to be a jerk for most of the film's 130 minutes, and it wears you out. There are still some wonderful things in "Oz the Great and Powerful," and one of them is the opening section, set in 1905 Kansas — a classic, black-and-white, 4:3-aspect-ratio Kansas much like the beginning of the 1939 movie. Once the tornado whisks the hero by balloon to Oz, the colors bleed in and the screen magically widens, but the landscapes have the craggy, familiar "awesomeness" of every other computer-generated fantasy film these days. We've been here before, and too recently.
Another problem: Mila Kunis is all wrong as Theodora, initially the most naive of the three witches of Oz. The actress is terrific in modern-dress roles but there's nothing mythic or otherworldly about her, a fact that becomes plain as soon as Rachel Weisz turns up as her scheming sister Evanora. Imperious, larger-than-life — now this is a witch. (For those keeping score, the new movie has nothing to do with the "Wicked" franchise of book and stage.)
The movie's third witch, the super-nice one, is named Glinda (but you knew that already) and is played by Michelle Williams with a dreamy sweetness that doesn't convey the depths of which this actress is capable. The story line's a little confusing — Oscar is welcomed as the prophesied Wizard who will rescue the kingdom from evil but first he has to figure out which witch is which, and his many interactions with Glinda, Theodora, Evanora et al., are surprisingly charmless and flat. Raimi has trouble finding the right rhythm or the proper energy, and he isn't helped by a script by Mitchell Kapner and the gifted playwright David Lindsay-Abaire ("Rabbit Hole") that hovers around the "Shrek 2" level of invention.
There are a few moments, though, when you see what might have been — how "Oz the Great and Powerful" could have resonated with the storybook strangeness of "The Wizard of Oz." The scene in which the hero meets China Girl, a living porcelain doll voiced by actress Joey King, is tender and sad and altogether marvelous; the movie subsequently hops to life whenever she's onscreen. Oscar gets a comic sidekick in Finley, an amusingly servile winged monkey in a bellhop uniform, and Zach Braff, briefly seen in the Kansas opening, gives the character's lines welcome topspin.
Elsewhere, you sense Raimi's own wings have been clipped. The Munchkins look like what they are — extras at a costume party. Evadora's henchmen are no monkeys this time out but vicious flying baboons, fearsome creatures we barely get a look at, so intent is Disney on keeping the film safely in PG territory. The director doubtless appreciates how close the 1939 film gets to the dark, and he's a good person to take us there, but the corporate hands that have fashioned "Oz the Great and Powerful" are too nervous to let him.Continued...

Regulation of C. elegans Longevity by Specific Gustatory and Olfactory Neurons
Regulation of C. elegans Longevity by Specific Gustatory and Olfactory Neurons

The life span of C. elegans is extended by mutations that inhibit the function of sensory neurons. In this study, we show that specific subsets of sensory neurons influence longevity. We find that certain gustatory neurons inhibit longevity, whereas others promote longevity, most likely by influencing insulin/IGF-1 signaling. Olfactory neurons also influence life span, and they act in a distinct pathway that involves the reproductive system. In addition, we find that a putative chemosensory G protein-coupled receptor that is expressed in some of these sensory neurons inhibits longevity. Together our findings imply that the life span of C. elegans is regulated by environmental cues and that these cues are perceived and integrated in a complex and sophisticated fashion by specific chemosensory neurons.

Japa: It has to be Carrick. He has been brilliant all through the season, despite having to cope with varying formations and personnel alongside, behind and in front of him.
Dazzmondo: Carrick's passing accuracy has been phenomenal and he dictates how we play each game. Some of his long passes, such as the one for Hernandez against Chelsea in the FA Cup, are out of this world. He's truly one of the best midfielders in the world now.
Robin van Persie
Emmanuel111: I think RvP deserves not just to be United's Player of the Year but also the PFA Player of the Season. Despite all the hype, pressure and hefty price tag, he has stood his ground and made his mark.
thereddevilreynolds: You can't deny the impact he had for the first 20-25 games was phenomenal. In my eyes, an impact like that in his first season makes him the front runner.
pp37: Robin van Persie. He has clinched many games for us from the jaws of defeat.
Devil26_forlife: It really has to be RvP. His goals really helped us pull away from the other teams, and because we now have a big lead, the players are playing with great confidence. RvP scored some very, very important goals in the first half of the season like those against Southampton away, Man City away, Liverpool away and West Ham in the Cup. Hopefully he'll get back to top form soon and make his mark again towards the end of the season.
