Our mission is to defend & advance the rights & opportunities of low-income immigrants and their family members.
NILC has received many questions about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Many of them are about your rights in the workplace, both when you are applying for deferred action and after your application has been approved. This FAQ is intended to answer your questions about DACA and your workplace rights and to provide information that may be helpful when you apply for and after you've been granted deferred action under the DACA program.
If you've already been granted deferred action, received your employment authorization document (EAD), and have urgent questions about your current job, see "Maintaining your current job."
Like all of NILC's resources, this FAQ does not replace the advice of a qualified lawyer. You should contact a lawyer if you have questions about your particular situation. NILC staff are also available to give you more information on the topics discussed below, but are not available to give you legal advice or represent you in court.
Background: The DACA programEmployment records and applying for DACASocial Security number and the EADThe hiring process and beginning employmentMaintaining your current jobAbbreviations used in this FAQ
On June 15, 2012, President Barack Obama announced that, under a policy that's now called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would no longer deport certain young undocumented people. DACA has two important parts:
As of now, each part of DACA — the grant of deferred action and the EAD — will be good for two years. At the end of the two-year period, DACA recipients can apply to renew deferred action and their EADs.
Do you want to see if you may be eligible for DACA? Check out NILC's Frequently Asked Questions or Preguntas Frecuentes for basic information about whether you may be eligible. You may also use the online "Requesting Deferred Action" tool that's available on the Own the Dream / Únete al Sueño website to see if you might qualify.
It depends. You are not required to supply any employment records (such as pay stubs) as part of your DACA application. And for most applicants, there is no reason to include them. Generally, if you can prove that you have been in the U.S. without using pay stubs, you should.
However, that may be difficult in some cases. As part of your application, you must prove that you have been in the U.S. continuously for the past five years and that any departures from the U.S. during this period were brief, casual, and for innocent reasons. Some workers may have difficulty proving that they have lived in the U.S. continuously for the past five years. For example, farm workers or other workers who live in temporary or employer-provided housing may not have many other records to show that they have lived in the U.S. continuously for that time period.
There are many kinds of documents you can use to prove that you have lived continuously in the U.S. for the past five years. You can use utility bills, phone bills, school records, doctor's records, hospital bills, or even receipts of remittances (remesas or envíos) sent to relatives or friends in your home country through the years. If you have saved copies of your work schedules through the years, you might be able to use them. You do not need to have documents for every month of this period, but lengthy gaps of time for which you have no documents may be a problem.
You can also use two or more affidavits, or declarations, to prove that you were in the U.S. for any lengthy period of time for which you don't have any other evidence. An affidavit is a written statement, signed under penalty of perjury, from someone who has personal knowledge of your presence in the U.S. If, for any part of the required five years of continuous presence, you do not have good evidence to show that you were in the U.S., you can submit at least two affidavits from people who can verify that you were in the U.S. during that time. You may also use affidavits to prove that a departure from the U.S. was brief, casual, and innocent.
However, some people only have employment records to prove that they have been living in the U.S. continuously. If that is true for you, you may want to use proof from your work to show that you have been in the U.S. continuously. If your pay stubs or other work documents contain a Social Security number or name that is not yours, talk to an attorney before submitting these documents as part of your application.
Your immigration status is personal, private information, and generally you should not share this with anyone other than your attorney. You especially should not tell your employer or anyone at your job that you are applying for DACA. If you do, you may risk being fired.
You are not required to tell your employer that you are applying for DACA.
You are not required to tell anyone at your job — including line supervisors, managers, human resources staff, or crew leaders — that you are applying for DACA.
Your boss or supervisor should not ask you if you are applying for deferred action. If they do, you should tell them you are not comfortable answering that question. Your employer should not try to force you to answer. NILC is happy to strategize with you about how to protect your rights in such situations.
Under immigration law, employers have a responsibility to make sure that they do not employ unauthorized workers. If an employer learns that you are ineligible to work in the U.S., the employer has an obligation to fire you. If you tell your employer that you are applying for DACA, the employer will probably think that you are not eligible to work legally in the U.S. Even though you will be eligible to work legally once you receive deferred action and an EAD, you would be telling the employer that you are currently ineligible. Because of this, the employer might feel the need to fire you in order to avoid violating immigration law.
This can be a hard situation, especially if you have a friendly relationship with your boss. If you and your employer are good friends, you might feel tempted to tell him or her that you are applying for DACA. However, if you share this information, you risk losing your job.
Generally, if you can prove that you have been in the U.S. without using employment documents, you should. If you are going to ask your employer for a letter confirming your employment, you have to be very careful about how you ask. You need to ask in a way that does not alert your employer to your immigration status. If you tell your employer that you are applying for DACA or otherwise give the employer information about your immigration status, you may be fired.
If you must get information from your employer:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has said that you should only list an SSN that was properly issued to you by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Do not list an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) — or any other SSNs that you may have used — on your DACA or employment authorization application forms.
Soon after your DACA request is approved, you will receive your EAD in the mail.
An EAD is an employment authorization document (also known as a work permit or I 766) that tells your employer you are authorized to work in the U.S. It can also be used as an ID.
As part of applying for DACA, you will apply for an EAD using Forms I 765 and I 765WS. After the government approves your application, you will be issued an EAD card that looks similar to this:
An EAD is not the same thing as a passport or a Social Security card. This document proves only that you may work legally in the U.S.
If you receive deferred action and an EAD from the government, you can apply for a Social Security number from the Social Security Administration. You must visit an SSA office in person to apply for an SSN, bring your EAD, and also prove your age and identity. There are offices across the country. For more information, see SSA's publication "Social Security Number—Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals."
If you have been issued an EAD, you may work legally even if you don't apply for an SSN. The EAD alone proves that you can work legally. However, it is usually a good idea to apply for an SSN. An SSN:
Yes. After you are hired by an employer, but within the first three days of work, the employer should ask you to complete an I-9 employment eligibility verification form and to present documents that prove you are eligible to work legally in the U.S. At that time, you can present your EAD. Your employer might make a copy of your EAD.
No. You do not need to tell your employer that you received an EAD through the DACA program, and the employer should not ask.
Under U.S. law, employers have an obligation to hire only individuals with valid work authorization. Employers use the I-9 form to document that an employee is authorized to work in the U.S.
Therefore, after you are hired, your employer must verify your identity and authorization to work legally in the U.S. To prove your identity and employment authorization, you must present either one document that shows both your identity and employment authorization (also called a "List A" document), or you must present a combination of documents, one that proves your identity (that you are who you say you are; also called a "List B" document) and another that proves you are work-authorized (eligible to work legally in the U.S.; also called a "List C" document). The lists of acceptable documents — Lists A, B, and C — are available on USCIS's website.
Your employer must check your identity and employment authorization documents and complete an I-9 form. Your employer will then ask you to fill out and sign the I-9 form. Employers keep all I-9 forms in their files. Your employer must show the completed forms to enforcement officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security if asked for them.
Since the EAD is a "List A" document, it proves both your identity and work authorization. Therefore, when you fill out the I-9 form, if you show your employer your EAD, you don't have to show the employer any other documents. In a special Guidance for Employers about DACA, USCIS says that, when an employer gives an employee the I-9 form to fill out and the employee presents his or her EAD, the employer should not ask for any additional proof that the employee is authorized to work.
Sometimes employers don't do what they're supposed to under the law — they don't ask workers to complete an I-9 form or show identity and employment authorization documents. It is the employer's responsibility to make sure that the I-9 process is completed. If your employer does not ask you to complete an I-9 form and show your document(s), you have no responsibility to do either.
Do you have questions about completing the I-9 form? See NILC's Proving Work Authorization & Reverification and the resources available from our "I-9 Antidiscrimination Protections" webpage for more information. Sometimes employers use an online system called E-Verify instead of a paper I-9 form. For information about your rights when an employer uses E-Verify, see the resources available from our E-Verify > Materials for Workers webpage.
The W-4 form is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) document that an employer must have you complete shortly after you are hired. The W-4 is important for two reasons: First, it allows the government to determine the correct amount of taxes that should be withheld from your paycheck. Second, it helps the government know how long you have been working and how much you have contributed to the Social Security Trust Fund (SSTF). When the government withholds money from your paycheck, part of it is put into the SSTF. In the future, if you become a lawful permanent resident or citizen of the U.S., you may be able to get credit for the amount of money you contributed to the SSTF. This can help you when you retire or become disabled.
After you complete a W-4, your employer keeps it on file. Your employer will use the information from the W-4 to create a W-2 form for you. You use the W-2 form to complete your income tax return, if you are required to file one. Your employer should send you a W-2 form before January 31st of each year. The employer will also send some of the information from the W-2 for to the SSA and the IRS. The W-4 and W-2 forms are not immigration documents.
Authorized and unauthorized workers can join a union or become members of a workers' center. Across the country, workers are standing up together to demand their rights in the workplace. If you are interested in joining a union, supporting a campaign for working people, or finding a local workers' center (www.ndlon.org/en/our-members; www.iwj.org/network/workers-centers), you can do so whether or not your DACA application is approved.
Yes. Once you have your EAD, your employer can keep you on the job without violating immigration law. In fact, if your employer fires you, that could be a violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) (more information about this is provided below).
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will not alert your employer that you have received an EAD. So if you do not tell your employer that you have received an EAD, it is unlikely that the employer will know you have one. Once you receive your EAD, you do not have an obligation to show this document to your employer.
If you do show your EAD to your employer and the name and birth date on the EAD are different from the name and birth date on the I 9 form your employer has on file for you, the employer is required to have you fill out a new I 9 form. Your employer is also required to have you complete a new I 9 form if your old I-9 form contains a Social Security number that is different from your new Social Security number. And your employer is required to have you complete a new I 9 form if, in the "attestation" portion of Section 1 of your old form, you check-marked an immigration or citizenship status or provided an "alien number" that doesn't match the status or alien number that's indicated on your EAD. (For example, if your old I 9 form has a checkmark next to "A citizen of the United States.") (See USCIS's Guidance for Employers, p. 2.)
For more information about issues related to presenting your new EAD to your employer, see "I told my employer that I now have an EAD or a new Social Security number. The employer fired me. What are my rights?"
Typically, once you are hired and have completed the I-9 or E-Verify process, your employer should not ask to see your EAD or any other identity or employment eligibility verification document again until the time a document you provided expires. When an employer asks to see a document again, this is called reverification. Your employer may reverify your employment eligibility only under certain circumstances. Your employer may reverify your employment eligibility — and ask to see your document again — if the document is about to expire or already has expired. But if your employer singles you or a certain group of workers out for reverification without having some legitimate reason — such as the expiration of your document — the employer may be engaging in illegal reverification.
If your employer asks to see some workers' documents but not others', the employer may be discriminating on the basis of their citizenship or immigration status or their national origin. Under immigration law, such discrimination is illegal. If employers reverify workers, they must treat the workers the same regardless of their citizenship or immigration status or of their national origin. If the employer treats workers differently, such as by reverifying some of them but not others, the employer's action could be illegal.
If this occurs in your workplace, you can contact the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (1-800-255-7688 or www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc/). Also feel free to contact NILC for more information about these issues.
The law with respect to what employers may or may not do when reverifying employees' identity and work authorization is complex. For example, your employer might violate labor law — the National Labor Relations Act — if the employer reverifies everyone in the workforce during a labor dispute (a labor dispute is a disagreement between an employer and workers about work-related issues). Or your employer might violate another antidiscrimination law — Title VII — if the employer reverifies workers based on their race or ethnicity. If you want to learn more about workplace reverification, see NILC's Reverification of Employment Eligibility: Frequently Asked Questions.
It is important that all the information on your W-4 form be correct. It helps the government know how long you have been working and ensures that your contributions to the Social Security Trust Fund are recorded. This can help you when you retire or become disabled. If you would like information about how to correct your Social Security earnings record or want to discuss whether you should correct the information on your W-4, please contact NILC.
It depends. Your rights may be different depending on several things, including whether or not you gave your employer false documents or false information when you were first hired.
If you did not complete an I-9 form and did not provide false information when you were first hired, your employer may not fire you just because you now present an EAD. Nor may your employer fire you because of where you were born, where you come from, or your native language or accent. If you show your employer an EAD, your employer may not discriminate against you on the basis of your not being a U.S. citizen. Employers who do so may be violating the antidiscrimination provisions of immigration law or Title VII. Depending on the facts of your case and the laws broken by your employer, you may have the right to reinstatement (the right to return to the job) and to damages (money to compensate for harm you have suffered).
But the situation will be different if you completed an I-9 form when you were first hired. For example, if your employer discovers that you lied and presented false documents at the time you were hired, the employer may be able to legally fire you. If the employer's policy is to fire anybody who is dishonest in the workplace and the employer has enforced the rule consistently for all workers, the employer may be able to legally fire you. Therefore, you should think carefully about whether to disclose the fact that you now have an EAD or a new SSN to your employer. If you have questions, feel free to contact NILC or the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (1-800-255-7688 or www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc/).
In addition, if you belong to a labor union, you will likely have additional rights.
Yes. If you belong to a union, your union representative should be able to help you navigate some of the issues discussed above, including any rights you have under your collective bargaining agreement. You should contact your union representative with any questions that you have.

Used it on my recent project. The saw is great, and the miter box can be be adjusted to fit the saw or any other saw, which is great!
I have been using Japanese saws for about six years and am now a convert. Been using the older type Stew Mac fret saw for several years now. This new Japanese one has changed my life, it cuts clean and fast and I think the kerf is slightly wide as the frets go in much easier. Thanks again StewMac
I have used Japanese saws for 30 or so years now & when I saw one from Stew-Mac it was a no-brainer. To get away from the noise of power tools, I work by hand as much as possible. I built my own mitre box, because that was the easy part. I use a paper, CAD developed fret pattern in full size, spray glue it to the fret blank and cut away. The first time it took me only 40 minutes or so. The saw is very good quality, fast & very accurate. Thanks again Stew-Mac, I haven't been disappointed yet. "Doc" DiLorenzo / guitars & basses
I have used Japanese saws for 30 years or so, so when Stew-Mac offered one for fret work it was a no-brainer. I like to work by hand as much as possible to get away from the noise of power tools. It is fast, precise & cuts a perfect slot. I built my own hardwood mitre box because that part is quite simple. I use a full size CAD developed, fret pattern spray glued to the fret blank as a cutting guide. The accuracy is perfect. Thanks again Stew-Mac. "Doc" DiLorenzo guitars & basses
The first time I slotted a fretboard it was a rosewood board and I found the job extremely difficult both to obtain required accuracy and the sawing job it self. It took hours and I was totally exhausted after the job. After this experience I decided to buy slotted fretboards in the future. But the guitar I'm working on now has a scale length of 624 mm and I haven't found slotted fretboards for this scale. I was therefore forced to purchase something for the job. I bought the Japanese fret saw system Stewmac offers and I do not regret it. The issue with the accuracy is solved and the saw is something unbelievable. The saw is not a small toy it is a real saw. First I thought have they sent me something to cut down a tree instead of a fret saw. The job took just a fraction of the time it took me previously to slot a fretboard thanks to the saw, and the result is excellent. Now I will always slot fretboards myself.
Used with the miter box & fret scale template, it's an easy matter to get consistent fret slots. Better than that, tho, is that the saw has the right heft & stiffness to go back into the slot freehand and finish off ends to the proper depth after radiusing the fingerboard. A very nice tool.
So impressed with it, I just had to have one along with other Stewmac products for great results.
While this is an excellent system when combined with the fret scale template, every time i do an ebony board i am faced with problem of trying to get the fret in easily. My saw leave's behind a slot .019" wide (measured with feeler gauges) this forces the neck into extreme back bow which can just about be corrected with a double action truss rod. I sent an email to stewmac about this and they suggested i should mash the tang down a little. That to me doesn't seem the ideal solution as this saw is meant to match stewmac's own wire, which i am currently using.
Very sharp with smooth action. A must for neat accurate fret slots.
I ordered this Miter box with the Japanese Saw, together with a Fret Scale template for Classical Guitar. Ordered on Tuesday and everything arrived perfectly in order on Thursday with DHL. Keep in mind that I live in Europe !! Miter box and saw work very accurate and making a fretboard was never so easy. Thanks, good job Stewmac.

When you invest in bond funds, it is more likely that this rate, or yield, will vary from day to day due to the price fluctuations of the bonds in the portfolio. This income, or yield, can help manage your portfolio's volatility and make a significant contribution to your investment returns.
Bond mutual funds do not have a set maturity date, due to the fact that there are generally several different issues within a portfolio, and there can be constant turnover in a fund. Instead, bond funds report an average maturity in order to give investors an idea of how much risk might be associated with the fund.
Ratings can range from AAA (highest quality) to D (default). Bonds with ratings of BBB or higher are considered investment grade issues, and bonds with ratings of BB or lower are non-investment grade issues. Bonds in the non-investment grade category are more speculative and often referred to as "high-yield". This is due to the fact that lower rated bonds generally carry a higher interest rate to compensate the buyer for taking on additional risk.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, changes in interest rates, and general market and economic conditions.

I have loved the nn Remi since we were thinking of names for our first daughter. Still struggling to feel like we have "the one" I keep getting drawn back to Remi but I would DEFINITELY want a more formal first name.
What are your thoughts on Ramona Lee nn Remi (or Remy?)
Other options welcome!!
Rosemary Lee? Struggling with any other ideas!
Thank you!!Proud mama to Lucia Marie (3) and Halle Regina born July 12th!

I think Remi is formal enough. It serves grown French men and Japanese women everyday.
Rosemary is a great choice, even if the nickname is a stretch - but Ramona I find one of the ugliest names ever (sorry!). What about Remigia, Rema, or Remielle?

Tiger Woods Foundation, Charity of the Day
Filed under: Charity, Charity of the Day
Tiger Woods is a rich man, and it's always nice to see rich people giving back (even when they name the charities after themselves...). The Tiger Woods Foundation is based on Woods' family motto of "caring and sharing," and not only having dreams but setting goals and making real plans so those dreams actually come true. Through scholarships, character development programs, grants, junior golf teams (of course), and the Tiger Woods Learning Center the foundation is helping empower youth across the country to realize their dreams. So far 10 million+ kids have benefited, and counting.

EDMONTON - As former Alberta premier Ed Stelmach's longtime confidante and loyal chief of staff, Ron Glen saw how political agendas often get derailed by special interests.
"Sometimes the solutions to issues may seem easy," he says, over a cup of java at a busy downtown Edmonton food court.
"But they get complicated by process, legalities, politics and everything else, to the point where problems became unsolvable. In today's political climate it has become dangerous to propose new ideas at the political level."
Tom Olsen, a former Journal and Calgary Herald newspaper reporter who served as Stelmach's media relations director until 2010, came to similar conclusions after his stint in the political trenches.
So after Stelmach stepped down in 2011, the two former insiders talked about teaming up, and finding ways to draw on their years inside government to help address pressing issues from the outside, where they'd have more freedom to operate.
Glen, who has an MBA, saw the public-private partnership (P3) model as a helpful way to fast-track needed infrastructure. So roughly a year ago, he and Olson began looking at ways to apply the P3 concept to redevelop dead or dying school sites in older city neighbourhoods.
Of some 430 schools in Calgary and Edmonton, they figured, more than 50 are targets for closure, due to low occupancy levels and hefty repair costs. Each sits on four to five acres of valuable property.
Surely, they thought, such sites could potentially be redeveloped, wherever there is local community support for it, by using the P3 model to meet a variety of needs — educational, residential, social, and even some light commercial.
The potential cost? About $20 million to $30 million per site, they estimated, or as much as $1.5 billion.
With that in mind, Glen and Olsen launched a consulting firm called Village Plaza Concepts in July. Its mandate? To work with community groups, developers and other private players to identify sites for two such P3 pilot projects, one in Calgary and the other in Edmonton.
"We've had a very good response so far, everybody we've talked to says it's a fantastic idea," says Glen.
"We've talked to seniors groups and had conversations with politicians in various levels of government. Everyone says it's a good idea, but no one is willing to lead with their chin on this," he notes.
"So we thought, 'let's build a business plan and push the idea.' But we're trying to make this as low pressure as possible. It will only progress as fast as a community is willing to work through the issues."
Glen has no delusions about what's ahead. Since older communities are often hostile to change, even if they are struggling as young families increasingly opt for life in the suburbs, he expects plenty of skepticism.
"This is brand new and there's going to be lots of objections, understandably. There will be a tsunami of negativity and naysayers, and that's fine. We'll just let that wash over, and then we'll see what people really think," he says.
Glen sees many options for redeveloping such sites. They could incorporate small elementary schools up to Grade 4 that offer related child care services; seniors' housing and related social services; medical or dental offices; and even some retail outlets.
"With the municipal election Monday we're all talking about the trials and tribulations of a city that's in flux. Urban sprawl is an issue but infill is an issue too. So how do you create infill development? Well, it's hard to create infill in communities that are shutting down their schools," he says.
Glen also sees such sites as a natural fit for seniors' housing. There is already a need to build about 1,000 new assisted living units each year in Alberta, he says, and many of those units are being built in the suburbs, where land is cheaper.
But by forcing seniors to leave their old neighbourhoods to live apart from their families and familiar surroundings, that fractures the community bonds that bind us together, he argues.
"The tsunami of the aging baby boom generation is coming. That will be provincewide," he says.
"My own father-in-law recently moved into a great facility, and we're thankful for that. But he got placed in the first available spot and it happens to be in Morinville. Well, he and his wife lived in a condo downtown. So now my mother-in-law has to drive 80 kilometres return to see him. So we are solving these problems, but we're doing it in silos, and we're breaking apart our communities."

Cardinals top Pirates 7-2, tie for NL Central lead
Sunday, 01 September 2013 22:40 Published in Sports
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Joe Kelly began the season in the St. Louis Cardinals' bullpen with an electric fastball and an identity crisis.
Consider the crisis solved.
At the moment, Kelly has become The Stopper.
The right-hander allowed four hits over six solid innings to win his fourth straight start and the Cardinals moved back into a tie for first place in the NL Central with a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Kelly (7-3) walked two and struck out five while remaining unbeaten since being moved to the starting rotation full-time in July.
"He's kind of figured himself out," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "Early in the season, he was confused. He thought he should be a strikeout guy at 97 (mph), but with the movement on his fastball he'd be crazy not to use that movement to try to command the bottom of the zone and get ground balls, too."
Kelly received plenty of help from an offense that snapped out of a three-game funk by tagging Pittsburgh spot starter Kris Johnson (0-2).
Matt Holliday and David Freese drove in two runs apiece while Matt Carpenter, Allen Craig, Yadier Molina and Shane Robinson added two hits each for St. Louis.
The Cardinals managed all of one run over the first 18 innings of the series, losses that came at the hands of proven veterans Francisco Liriano and A.J. Burnett. On Sunday they faced a 28-year-old making his first major league start who was nearly out of baseball two years ago.
"For us to come back out in a day game after scoring one run the first two nights was really big," Freese said. "It finally gave us a little momentum."
Pittsburgh's push for an NL Central title could go down to the wire. The Pirates reclaimed first place with a 7-1 victory Saturday night but St. Louis responded by knocking around Johnson, who took the hill after Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle decided to give struggling All-Star Jeff Locke a much-needed breather.
Locke is 1-2 with a 6.88 ERA in the second half, and Hurdle thought a few days off would allow the left-hander to work on his mechanics and get some rest.
Locke won't pitch again until next weekend at the earliest. If Pittsburgh decides he needs even more time off, it will likely have to look elsewhere for help after the Cardinals took it to Johnson.
Carpenter doubled to open the game and Robinson followed with a walk. Craig and Molina provided consecutive RBI singles, and Jon Jay added a sacrifice fly to stake Kelly to a 3-0 lead before he threw his first pitch.
The advantage grew in the third when Freese doubled to score Craig and Molina and end Johnson's day. Two weeks after limiting Arizona to one run in six innings of relief in his first major league appearance, Johnson gave up five runs on seven hits in two-plus innings.
"These are the kind of situations you want to be put in, I just didn't take advantage of them when I had the chance," Johnson said. "I worked all my life to get here and to fall short today, just going to have to get back on the field, get back on the throwing program and get back to where we were before."
Justin Morneau went 1 for 3 in his debut with the Pirates a day after Pittsburgh acquired the first baseman from Minnesota to bolster the franchise's bid for its first playoff appearance in 21 years.
Kelly has been a pleasant surprise since moving into the rotation. He never let the Pirates in the game, allowing only an RBI single by Marlon Byrd in the sixth.
By then the Cardinals had things well in hand as baseball's tightest division race once again drew even.
"My velocity was a lot better than in my last start, my sinker was really working and I was able to pitch to both sides of the plate," Kelly said.
The Pirates, whose 79 wins are tied for the franchise's high-water mark since 1992, made two bold moves last week in hopes of drawing ahead. They brought in Byrd and catcher John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday, then made an even bigger splash Saturday when they convinced Morneau to leave Minnesota after 11 seasons.
Morneau arrived at PNC Park midway through Saturday night's blowout and watched the remainder of the game from the dugout. He got a better view on Sunday, playing first base and batting sixth.
The 2006 AL MVP grounded out in his first plate appearance, walked in his second and then lined a single to right field his third time up. He ended his first game for Pittsburgh with a deep fly to the warning track in the ninth.
NOTES: Pittsburgh LHP Wandy Rodriguez is dealing with arthritis in his pitching arm. Rodriguez, who has been on the disabled list since July with forearm tightness, is expected to resume his throwing program this week after a visit with Dr. James Andrews revealed no structural damage to the arm. Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said the team remains hopeful Rodriguez can return in some capacity down the stretch. ... The Cardinals activated C Tony Cruz from the 15-day disabled list even though Cruz hasn't been cleared to swing a bat as he recovers from a broken forearm. Cruz would be used only in an emergency. ... The Pirates begin a three-game series in Milwaukee on Monday. Charlie Morton (6-3, 2.14 ERA) faces Tyler Thornburg (1-0, 1.94). ... St. Louis travels to Cincinnati on Monday to begin a four-game set with the Reds. Adam Wainwright (15-8, 2.96) starts for the Cardinals against Mat Latos (13-5, 3.03). ... The Cardinals sent reliever Michael Blazek to Milwaukee to complete the trade they made Friday for RHP John Axford.
Missouri surges past Murray State 58-14 in opener
Saturday, 31 August 2013 23:20 Published in SportsCOLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — James Franklin threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns before coming out early in the third quarter, helping Missouri take command after early struggles and whip Murray State 58-14 Saturday night in an opener that began in 98-degree heat.
Henry Josey had 113 yards on 13 carries with a 68-yard score in his first game back from a left knee injury that required two surgeries and sidelined him all last season. Russell Hansbrough had 104 yards on eight attempts with a pair of scores for Missouri, coming off a disappointing 5-7 record in its first SEC season.
Maikhail Miller threw three interceptions, two by E.J. Gaines, against a defense that stiffened after allowing two early touchdowns. Murray State faded quickly against its first SEC opponent since 2005.
Miller, who transferred from Mississippi last month, threw a touchdown pass and caught one on a flea-flicker for a 14-13 lead with 3:58 to go in the first.
Missouri scored the last 17 points of the first half, recovering from a rough start on both sides of the ball against a school picked to finish tied for sixth in the FCS-level Ohio Valley Conference. Franklin was done for the evening after throwing two touchdown passes the first 5:09 after the break, a 37-yarder to Darius White and 4-yarder to L'Damian Washington to make it 44-14.
It's the third career 300-yard game for Franklin, who was 26 for 38 and ended up 7 yards shy of his career best against Baylor in 2011. Missouri lost Franklin's other two 300-yard efforts.
Josey outran a pair of defenders who had the angle on his burst down the sideline in the third quarter. He received a prolonged ovation during pre-game introductions and again after a 20-yard gain on his first carry.
Hansbrough had 101 yards on seven carries and two scores in the rocky first quarter. A turnover ended the opening drive when Bud Sasser fumbled after a catch and kicker Andrew Baggett had an extra-point kick blocked and missed a 30-yard field-goal attempt.
Murray State had 196 total yards and 11 first downs in the first quarter, needing 1:15 to go 59 yards on its opening drive capped by Miller's 17-yard pass to Walter Powell. Miller spun away from Kony Ealy and strutted into the end zone on a 5-yard flea-flicker pass from wide receiver Jeremy Harness, a play that opened with a lateral pass, for a 14-13 lead late in the first quarter.
Missouri is 10-0 against FCS teams under coach Gary Pinkel, entering with an average score of 50-7, and beat Murray State 47-7 in 2006 in the only other game between the schools. Kansas City Chiefs backup quarterback Chase Daniel made his Missouri debut in that game with five touchdown passes, and attended Saturday night's game.
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Lance Lynn can't get anybody out. St. Louis can't score any runs. And with a month to go in an increasingly unpredictable season, the Cardinals find themselves trailing the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Central.
Pittsburgh ace A.J. Burnett held the punchless Cardinals to four hits over seven innings and the Pirates rolled to a 7-1 victory Saturday night to move back in front of the tightest division race in baseball.
Lynn (13-9) gave up seven runs and 10 hits in four erratic innings to lose his fourth straight decision.
"I've got to do better than I did tonight," he said. "It was unacceptable. I didn't get the job done. I've got to make better pitches in big situations and not let the big innings happen. I've just got to get better and I will."
Lynn received little help from the typically potent St. Louis offense. The Cardinals have scored just one run during their three-game losing streak.
"We've had a few balls hit hard, but not a lot," manager Mike Matheny said. "I like what our offense has done over the majority of the season. You don't want to take a couple of games and start making conclusions. We're just going to keep going about it."
The Cardinals still lead the National League in batting average and runs but are 5-10 against the Pirates this season. Pittsburgh received another jolt early Saturday afternoon when first baseman Justin Morneau was acquired from the Minnesota Twins.
Matheny and Lynn both believe the current slide is nothing more than a hiccup.
"I'm not happy with way I'm throwing the ball, but I'm going to fix it and I'm looking forward to the next month because it's going to be better," Lynn said.
It can't get much worse for Lynn after the Pirates jumped on him early.
Pittsburgh went in front 2-0 in the second inning on RBI singles by Burnett and Jose Tabata. Marlon Byrd drove in Pedro Alvarez to spark the third, and Russell Martin followed with a three-run homer to give Burnett all the support he needed.
"You could really feel the momentum shift there," Matheny said. "You don't want that to happen. You want your team to keep grinding, but you could feel things shift. Our guys kept fighting and our bullpen did a great job of holding them, but we never got much going."
Burnett's command had something to do with it. Mixing in a newly mastered changeup, Burnett (7-9) struck out six and walked one as the Pirates improved to 79-56 and moved within three victories of their first winning season since 1992.
"It's a great feat," Burnett said. "It's been a long time, but our goals have been higher than that."
That's certainly evident after the Pirates put together their second big trade in five days. Pittsburgh brought in Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday.
Byrd homered in his Pirates debut on Wednesday. Morneau won't get a chance until Sunday at the earliest. Manager Clint Hurdle hoped Morneau would be available on Saturday night if needed. Instead, the Pirates were already up by six runs when Morneau popped into the dugout. He spent the next hour joking around with his new teammates.
"You try to get here as quick as you can because you want to be a part of this," Morneau said.
Important baseball as the calendar flips to September is an annual rite of summer in St. Louis, but the pitching staff has begun to fray after five months of dominance.
Lynn appeared on his way to a career year after winning his 13th game of the season in a romp over Cincinnati four weeks ago. His ERA over his last four starts is 7.66.
Pittsburgh ranks 10th in the NL in runs scored, one of the main reasons general manager Neal Huntington aggressively pursued Morneau. But the Pirates are averaging 5.2 runs per game during their current six-game homestand, and Morneau's addition gives Pittsburgh another proven bat to join MVP contender Andrew McCutchen and slugging third baseman Pedro Alvarez.
NOTES: Reliever John Axford, acquired on Friday from Milwaukee, pitched a perfect seventh in his Cardinals debut. ... The Pirates have outhomered St. Louis 18-3 in 15 meetings this season. ... St. Louis SS Pete Kozma grounded out while pinch-hitting for Lynn and is hitless in his last 29 at-bats. ... The series concludes Sunday. Joe Kelly (6-3, 2.91 ERA) starts for St. Louis against Kris Johnson (0-1, 3.00). ... The Cardinals have not settled on a starter for Tuesday in Cincinnati. Michael Wacha, Carlos Martinez and Tyler Lyons are all under consideration.

Starman remembered as an inspiration

I work at Peace Lutheran Church, and have a been a member of the Danville community for six years and regrettably never met "Starman", but through helping prepare for the service and listening yesterday, I came away with not only a clear sense of the specialness of Phil, but a sense of loss in not getting to know him while he was alive. The celebration of his life was an honor to be part of, and seeing the church filled to overflowing not only with people, but with love yesterday was both amazing and inspiring--the meaning of his life characterized by so many "stars" who were there for him. Pastor Harms' animated and eloquent comments illustrated for us the greatness of a man so simple, yet a man who knew what life was all about--giving and accepting what is.

Thanks to Stephen for his major role in organizing this very special event and to Rev. Steve for his eulogy to memorialize this wonderful person and kindred spirit that touched the lives of so many. And thanks to Starman. There's a song by John Prine that makes me think of Phil. The chorus goes "Somebody said they saw 'him' swinging the world by the tail, bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues".
on Jul 3, 2009 at 6:41 pm
My biggest regret is of course a selfish one; and that is that I didn't know Phil long enough. But in that short time he touched me deeply, and I will always remember him as the glue and magnet that brought me and many other musicians to the gallery on Thursday nights for wonderful jam sessions and comraderie.
May his spirit and inspiration live on among the stars he loved.

Campaign ads for people who should listen to them (but won't)
Obama super PAC launches Bain offensive – "Whether the companies they came in and worked with made money or not, was irrelevant. Bain Capital always made money," Wells says in the ad. "If we lost, they made money. If we survived, they made money. It's as simple as that." Wells warns: "He promised us the same things he's promising the United States. And he'll give you the same thing he gave us: nothing. He'll take it all." […] The key message point in the Priorities ad is the argument that Romney and Bain were making money through a rigged game, in which they'd be sure to turn a profit regardless of how their acquisitions fared.
And here's a video reminder on what kind of people would never be swayed by such "information" or "reality" when it comes to voting for anyone but the Republican (even Romney) on any presidential ticket:
INTERVIEWER: So, something's not working here.TOOTHLESS GUY ON FOOD STAMPS: That's right.INTV: Voting Republican hasn't worked for you.TGOFS: But it could.INTV: But it hasn't.TGOFS: It hasn't but it could.
Take that Obama! Let the eagle soar!

Cheap hotels in 1st: Châtelet / Palais Royale / Louvre, Paris
Neighborhood Description
Main attractions: The central 1st arrondissement on the Right Bank includes Châtelet, Palais Royale, Place Vendôme, the Louvre and adjacent Tuileries Gardens.
Neighborhood atmosphere: The area around Châtelet is mostly known for the towering Gothic 16th-century Tour St. Jacques; the busy contemporary theater/opera house Théâtre du Châtelet; and the Métro-RER station Châtelet-Les Halles, a sprawling commuter hub. The area around the stately Palais Royale, the tony Place Vendôme (where Coco Chanel lived for many years at the Ritz) and the Louvre is busy during the day, but fairly quiet in the evenings.
Affordability: While the area is home to a number of budget-friendly hotels, its tourist magnet location means eating out and shopping can be pricey (though American chef Daniel Rose's Spring restaurant is worth a splurge if you can get a table). The Tuileries Gardens are a haven where you can spend hours strolling and Parisian-watching, free of charge.
Stay Here If: You want a convenient, tourist-friendly location in the heart of the city close to the Louvre and other attractions including Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie.
Stay Elsewhere If: You prefer a more intimate neighborhood feel, and a less frenetic and touristy atmosphere.

THE HUNDRED OF SWANBOROUGH Footnotes
containing the parishes of Iford; Kingston near Lewes
AT the time of the Domesday Survey, the Hundred of Swanborough comprised the vills of Iford, Ashcombe, and Winterbourne; Ditchling was also assigned to this hundred, but probably in error. (fn. 1) By 1296 Ditchling was definitely in Streat Hundred, and Swanborough then comprised Iford, Kingston, and Westout. (fn. 2) This arrangement continued in the 14th century, (fn. 3) but by 1624 the hundred was divided as at present, into Iford and Kingston, St. Mary Westout being then included in the borough of Lewes. (fn. 4)
The hundred was granted to William de Warenne after the Conquest, and descended with the Rape. Originally the constable was chosen by turn out of each borough, but by the 17th century there was none left in Westout sufficient for the task, and so the election fell between the other two boroughs. (fn. 5) The office was abolished in 1860. (fn. 6) The hundred alderman, at least in modern times, held his office for several years together. The hundred leet court formerly met twice yearly at Kingston, (fn. 7) but this had ceased to be the custom in the 19th century.

For Montclair's Brendan Gill, the gun buy-back is 'personal'
After Montclair Mayor Robert Jackson and 1st Ward Township Councilman Bill Hurlock announced in December they wanted to start a gun buy-back program, bad memories stirred Brendan Gill.
"It's an issue that hits close to home," Gill said.
When Gill, 38, an Essex County freeholder and township resident, was a teen growing up in Montclair, his father, Daniel, a social studies teacher in Glenfield Middle School, witnessed the fatal shooting of a secretary in the parking lot of the school, a victim of domestic violence.
Three years later in 1995, just at the time Gill was getting involved in public service, a man fatally shot four men at the U.S. Postal Service branch in Watchung Plaza. Since then, three more people have been fatally shot in Montclair - one in 2008 and two last year.
"I think gun safety and gun violence is an issue that has affected Montclair in a very serious way," said Gill. "It created a lot of awareness in me about the issue."
So last Saturday, as Gill and his freeholder colleagues met for an all-day budget hearing in Newark, he asked Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray about Montclair's gun buy-back program. Murray said that she was working with Montclair officials on the program, to be run by Murray's office together with the state Attorney General's Office, on Feb. 15 and 16, Gill said.
It will involve five municipalities, including Montclair, which will have a site at Union Baptist Church, 12 Midland Ave., from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The other sites are: St. Paul AME Church in East Orange, Christian Love Baptist Church in Irvington, The Church of Epiphany in Orange, the Calvary Gospel Church in Newark, and the Paradise Baptist Church in Newark.
"There's no questions asked. That is why the police are looking for a neutral site, so people can feel comfortable," said Rev. Reverend Campbell Singleton III, Union Baptist's pastor. "There is a promise that nothing will be reported. The goal is to get them off the streets."
Payment will range from about $150 to $300 per gun, said Singleton, noting this will be his first participation in a buy-back program.
"I've been inspired by pastor friends of mine [who have done gun buy-backs]," Singleton said. "We might not get the guns out of the hands of the drug dealers or gang-bangers, but some people who bought guns 20 years ago may be uncomfortable now having guns. People could be injured."
This countywide program began as a Montclair-only idea, after two residents approached Hurlock and Jackson with an anonymous pledge of $10,000 to buy back guns in the wake of the massacre in Newtown, Conn. Montclair Police Chief David Sabagh met with the Essex County Prosecutor's Office to launch the buy-back, and it was then that the county decided to get involved.
"Montclair is at the forefront of this buy-back effort," Jackson said. "Hopefully we can make a dent in the number of guns on the street."
At the time of the donation, Jackson said that for every gun bought, a donation for the same amount would be made to a fund connected to the victims and families of Newtown.
But now, with unlimited funding for the program from the attorney General's Office - revenues from confiscated drug money - the $10,000 may be used for gun education with the Montclair Police Department as well as to a Newtown fund, Hurlock and Jackson said.
"A larger initiative is more worthwhile," Sabagh said. "We don't solely deal with Montclair residents. Anytime you have a time to limit the number of guns out there it's helpful."
Gill has also been working on gun control in his job as state director for U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). Lautenberg is sponsoring legislation that includes a ban on assault weapons and closes the so-called terror gap, which Gill described as a loophole in the law that enables someone who could be on the government's no-fly list to still buy a gun.
"I think anybody who believes in gun control knows that this is the time," Gill said. "The time is now."

This is probably the most successful team I've had to date. I've tried sandstorm teams before to great success, but I found I tended to litter them with ground types (as awesome as life orb encourage nidoking is...) and sand abusers, and once tyranitar died and the opponent's weather starter was still alive, I'd lost the match. With this team, I made it with pokemon in mind that could survive on their own without sandstorm active, but benefitted from it greatly. Also doryuzu's not fun to play with because he wins so easily. Without further ado, here's the team! Lead (Sort of): Denchura @Choice Specs Compoundeyes Timid (+spe, -atk) 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Thunder - Energy Ball - Bug Buzz - HP Ice One of the things I've learnt in wifi now is that you should NEVER lead with your weather setter if your opponent has one, too. Denchura is simply wonderful against the now ever-present Politoed, nailing that 100% accurate STAB Thunder, and even after I get up a sandstorm, while being less reliable Thunder is still accurate due to Compoundeyes. Energy Ball is incredibly useful also, wrecking Swampert, Quagsire, Gastrodon and Gamageroge which plague my team with their brilliant typing that grants them only one 4x super effective weakness, and their immunity to sandstorm while retaining SE STAB on most of my team. I run HP Ice over Volt Change because I found myself never using it, and with the sheer amount of dragons running around in this metagame, it's much better, I find. Tyranitar @Expert Belt Sand Stream Quiet (+SpA, -Spe) 200 HP/ 56 Atk / 252 SpA - Ice Beam - Fire Blast - Superpower - Pursuit My god, Mixtar this gen is absolute lulz. People never see the Ice Beam coming, and it's this element of surprise that lands me at least one or two kills a match. After pursuiting the odd Ghost or Psychic, people expect the physical set and switch in, say, Nattorei expecting a nice, free turn of set up. SUP FIRE BLAST. I tend to use Tyranitar very sparingly, keeping him back unless it's absolutely necessary I switch him in, waiting for the opponent's weather abuser to die so I can set up Sandstorm freely. Also, I used to run 200 Spe and a Rash nature, but I found myself in the mindset of "seriously, what is Tyranitar going to outspeed?" Then it hit me; when a weather setter switches in, the slower one's weather is set. So with that in mind, I put the 200 EVs into HP for bulk and gave him a -Spe nature. Roobushin @Leftovers Guts Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD - Bulk Up - Drain Punch - Mach Punch - Payback This thing is almost TOO beastly. It's the reason I don't have a spinner on my team, so those beautiful, beautiful Toxic Spikes give me a nice, free Guts boost. The only thing that could make it better is if it had Curse, so that Payback would be more effective against Rankurusu... Ah well, no matter! It gains almost perfect coverage with just three moves, and after a Bulk Up, Doryuzus hoping to take advantage of my Sandstorming just get pwnt by Mach Punch. The EVs are pretty simple, maximising HP for bulk on both sides, with a little SpD invested. Also, when I have Sandstorm up, Leftovers nullifies the Sandstorm damage and I can regain health with Drain Punch. Very simple strategy. Burungeru @Leftovers Water Absorb Calm (+SpD, -Atk) 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD - Recover - Will-o-Wisp - Surf - Shadow Ball This thing is my team's GLUE, man. Its typing is amazing, and its synergy with the rest of my team is literally incredible. God, if this thing got Calm Mind... The set is pretty obvious, with Surf over Boil Over seeing as I already have Will-o-Wisp. Thinking about replacing it with Toxic for beating the occasional sun team, but without it I can't do jack to Nattorei, who usually sets up expecting me to switch out, getting burned in the process. I feel like there's a lot of lost potential here, though. I really do wish it had a boosting move... Garchomp @Choice Scarf Sand Veil Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe - Outrage - Earthquake - Brick Break - Double Chop The first of my sand abusers. Once again this gen, Garchomp shows us he's still a hideous threat to watch out for. With three moves he gains perfect coverage (I originally ran Fire Fang over Brick Break, but it just wasn't working as well and Tyranitar had Fire Blast for the Steels anyway), and the last slot was up for grabs. Now, you may question why I have Double Chop of all things in there; Basically, it's a brilliant alternative to Dragon Claw, as even with STAB they effectively have the same BP, except Double Chop has that sub-breaking possibility. Also, it beats those stupid annoying FEAR pokemon that everyone hates. With a scarf and his trollish base 102 speed, he outspeeds a great portion of the metagame and KOs, and Sand Veil's accuracy reducing powers give some useful hax at points. Randorosu @Life Orb Sand Power Jolly (+Spe, -SpA) 4 HP/ 252 Atk / 252 Spe - Swords Dance - Earthquake - Stone Edge - Brick Break The second of my sand abusers, who's a bit more of an abuser than Garchomp. After a Swords Dance, this thing hits an incredible 698 Atk, and with a Sand Power boosted Stone Edge or a similarly boosted STAB Earthquake, not to mention that almost as trollish as Garchomp base 101 Spe, it becomes a very real threat. Also, even with stealth rock damage, Randorosu can come in on an unboosted Doryuzu, survive his Rock Slide and OHKO back with Brick Break. That's pretty something. --------------------------------------- So that's the jist of it! I'm finding my team's a bit too physically orientated, however, but most of my team is nigh-on irreplacable. I would very much like another mixed sweeper that still can abuse sandstorm... in any case, suggestions please!
This is a nice team, and there's not much to suggest here except running Superpower over Earthquake on Tyranitar. This will generally hit what you need to hit with Earthquake harder, including other Tyranitar. Also I'd suggest Fire Blast over Brick Break, which serves no purpose. (STAB SE Earthquake does the exact same damage as a 4xSE base 75 move). It allows you to hit Skarmory harder (2HKO on physical Skarmory, which is the only viable set in this meta), which really helps your team. You don't even need to switch from a Jolly nature.
One thing that i personally would change, is to swap the Rando and Garchomp sets. Imo Chomp makes a better SD poke, and Rando makes a better scarfer. Give Rando U-turn, HP-Ice, EQ, and Stone Edge. (oh and change nature to Naive).
phoenix, I think it's more useful to have the scarf 102 because scarf dragons run amok in the metagame. I really don't think there's too much bad to say.
Thanks for the suggestions! Superpower on Tyranitar is a great idea, seeing as it switches out so much... I'll add that to the OP. And Fire Blast on Randorosu... I think I'll skip that, as mainly Brick Break is there for Balloon Doryuzu, which is an OHKO after an unboosted Rock Slide.
I'm glad you like my suggestion of Superpower, but I'd just like to note that I was suggesting Fire Blast over Brick Break for Garchomp, not Landlos (who doesn't learn it).
Randorosu should really be using HP Ice with a Naive nature over Brick Break. Brick Break honestly doesn't let you beat a whole lot and is usually just used to break Balloons. HP Ice allows you to smash right through Gliscor, Randorosu's most used counter, and it seems to trouble your team quite a bit, so it would work quite well. A even better choice though iss to change Randorosu to a Rock Polish varient. In the current metagame, Swords Dance Randorosu won't really work that well against a majority of the teams (stupid Rain teams >_>), being outsped and KOed, but Rock Polish lets Randorosu turn the tables on those Pokes and KO them with a rediclously powerful Earthquake (he 2HKOes lots of bulky things without any setup), Stone Edge to handle flyers that would take HP Ice, and HP Ice allows you to smash Gliscor and have a 100% accuracy attack against Skymin. Another change is to run Stone Edge over Payback on Roobushin. Stone Edge makes sure that Flyers can't come in and get free attacks on you, and the Ghosts and Psychics you hit with Payback can be handled with Stone Edge with enough Bulk Ups. You really need Stealth Rock on this team. it stops lots of threats from just switching in and out and weraking havoc on your team. But considering I don't want to replace any Pokes on your team, you should place them on Tyranitar over Superpower. I know this may seem rediclous, but you really need that residuel damage badly. You could also chnge his nature to Lonely, put 8 Speed EVs, and change Pursuit to Crunch, but thats not as important as getting Steath Rock on the field.

Great movie and it keeps you guessing right up to the last minute. Good to see more than once.
I think Russell Crowe was magnifiicent in this. I wish a man loved me that much!!
Loved it.
Okay, this is tough for me because Russell Crowe is my favorite actor. It was just....OK. There, I said it. Crowe did the best he could, but, the story was lame. The protagonist, a cop that shows up half way into the movie seems to have ESP in trailing Crowe's character, always a step behind. Rent it, don't
i kept thinking it was about to get good, ************* boring almost the whole way through.
