An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
Much progress has been made in representing African-American life onscreen, but there's a long way to go.
An updated list of the theatrical venues and VOD platforms currently screening "Life Itself."
The first objective in the morning is to treat the hangover with a little judicious maintenance drinking. "Smashed" shows that it knows that in its opening minutes. Alcoholism doesn't require the kind of flamboyant craziness we see in movies like "The Hangover," but it does seem to require an introverted monitoring of whether you feel as good (or well) as you think you should.
Why do alcoholics begin down the same hazardous road day after day? They are in search of that elusive window of well-being that opens when you drink your way out of a hangover and aren't yet drunk all over again. The alcoholic's day consists of trying to keep that window open. Kate Hannah, the heroine of "Smashed," finishes yesterday's beer while she's brushing her teeth. In the parking lot at her job, she commences the new day's self-medication with a swig from a flask.
Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) teaches the third grade, and we see her doing a pretty good job of it, until she is overtaken with a sudden spasm of vomiting. One thing seasoned drinkers learn is that your "recovery drinking" involves making peace with your stomach. She tried to rush things.
What do you say after you hurl in front of a classroom of children? They think they understand: "Mrs. Hannah, are you pregnant?" Yes! Yes! That's it! Kate Hannah agrees almost thankfully. Inevitably, that leads to more problems at school, and then the assistant principal, Dave Davies (Nick Offerman), asks her to come into his office. He is a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, saw her drinking in her car and can add two plus two.
James Ponsoldt's "Smashed" knows a lot about alcoholism, and it also knows about the good times that can go along with it. This is a serious movie about drinking but not a depressing one. You notice that in the way it handles Charlie (Aaron Paul), Kate's husband. He is also her drinking buddy. When two alcoholics are married, they value each other's company because they know they can expect forgiveness and understanding, while a civilian might not choose to share their typical days.
Kate gives AA a try. Dave takes her to a meeting, and she quickly acquires a sponsor, Jenny (Octavia Spencer, from "The Help"). Charlie continues to drink, and he misses his wife, but he isn't angry, he's more puzzled. He wants her to return to the party. They say the most dangerous words a drunk can hear are, "A little drink won't hurt you."
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is sort of wonderful in this movie, worn and warm. She doesn't play a victim. She has that courage an alcoholic requires to persist in the punishment of getting drunk day after day. Life is a toboggan run into uncertain darkness. One night, she passes out and sleeps all night in the open air. She accepts this as part of the game. Many a puzzling dawn has the practicing alcoholic experienced.
The success of "Smashed" comes in the way it embraces Kate's life force. It's filled with strong supporting characters, including Principal Barnes (Megan Mullally), who doesn't understand the disease very well, and Dave Davies, who gets her to a meeting and then wants to hurry her through the 12 Steps so they can arrive at the 13th, if you know what I mean. Mary Kay Place plays Kate's mother, who has no idea she's an alcoholic herself. Spencer is a firm and sturdy sponsor who has been there, done that and can't be fooled.
The movies have a way of presenting alcoholism and drug addiction as titanic struggles. So indeed they can be. But for Kate, who no doubt classified herself as a "functioning alcoholic," sobering up can be easy and even kinda fun. That's until she figures out that "being dry" and "being sober" are not the same thing.

Gonzalez replaced starter Albert Pujols in left field in the fifth inning of the National League's 7-6 loss. He singled to right field in the seventh inning against Oakland's Mark Mulder in his only plate appearance, but was immediately erased when Rondell White grounded into a 6-3 double play.
Thus began and ended Gonzalez's fourth trip to the Midsummer Classic, including his third straight. Gonzalez now has six All-Star at-bats, and base hits in three of them. A .500 average isn't too bad, especially against pitchers like these.
"It was good," he said afterward. "It's always nice and exciting to be here for the All-Star Game. Unfortunately we came up on the short end, but it was still a lot of fun."
It was a strange year for the D-Backs at the All-Star Game, considering that their only representative was a batter. Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson have been sidelined due to injuries, marking it the first time that either of the co-aces has missed the All-Star Game as a member of the Diamondbacks. That meant it was up to Gonzalez to carry the flag at U.S. Cellular Field, and he did it admirably.
Still, the man sometimes referred to as the "nicest guy in baseball" wasn't all smiles in the clubhouse on Tuesday night. Sure, he had fun. Sure, he got a base hit. But to Gonzalez, winning is the main thing. And his team didn't win the game.
"It's always exciting when you're able to come in and get a hit in an All-Star Game," he said. "But I'd rather trade it in for the win right now."
That's partly from pure competitiveness -- the guy doesn't like to lose. But there's also the fact that Gonzalez's Diamondbacks have a shot to go back to the postseason once again. And if they get there, they can certainly make some noise. But unlike in 2001, Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series wouldn't be at Bank One Ballpark this time around.
That year, Gonzalez saw -- and played in -- one of the better World Series in memory. This year, he was a part of one of the more exciting All-Star Games in quite some time. The contest featured a couple of lead changes, a dramatic eighth-inning homer and an all-around high level of play.
And Gonzo knew it.
"It was a lot of fun," he said. "It was see-saw both ways. A lot of excitement, some home runs, clutch hitting. It started out like it was gonna be a 1-0 game, and then (Todd) Helton got the homer. So it was back and forth. The fans saw a good, entertaining game tonight."
Now he goes back to his regular teammates as they take aim at the Giants in the National League West. And if there's any consolation, it's this: Schilling just returned from his stint on the DL and Johnson will soon be returning to action.
That means that this nice guy will probably be smiling quite a bit more in the second half.

|Raiders claim GMC title
|Monday, February 18, 2013 11:17 PM
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER • Sportswriter
HAVILAND – The 'Palace' was home to a pair of special nights for the Wayne Trace boys basketball team last weekend as the Raiders won the Green Meadows Conference championship on Friday and the Raiders' Corbin Linder entered the record books Saturday night.
Edgerton visited Paulding County to battle for the league crown Friday night and the two squads hooked up in a battle.
The contest was back and forth throughout before the Raiders' Colby Speice came up with the defensive play of the game to give Wayne Trace a 56-50 win and the GMC championship.

I've never liked Corona. I always thought it was overpriced when I was in High School because all my friends drank it. I never understood why. I guess it was the cool thing. Whenever someone handed me one, the only way I could drink it without giving a shot face (yea, a shot face after drinking beer) was to put a lime wedge in it. For this I got so much crap from my friends. "REAL men don't put fruit in their beers!" "Pussy!" Etc, etc. Maybe it was the forgettable beer, or the "fond" memories, but I doubt I'll ever have this again.

1.6/5 rDev -30.7%
Appearance Very light yellow body with a small head.
Smell Grain or corn on the olfactory bulb. Not much else.
Taste This beer didnt have to get warm to let loose the skunk. The grain and corn flavors were left without support or balance as well, so overall a poor experience.
Mouthfeel Flat and watery on the tongue.
Drinkability A single lime wedge wont save this one. In fact, I would have preferred to drink 12 ounces of lime juice with a splash of Corona.
Comments Not much positive to write about on this one. Sorry, but it just wasnt very good. I saw that some Karma Midgets fived it, but only three mugged BAs gave it a three or higher. This one is not on my Christmas list.

Before I knew about hefe-weizen, I drank a lot of Coronas in the summer. I drink far fewer now but I still enjoy the taste of the beer as long as theres a lot of lime in it.
Appearance: Cororna looks as bad as a beer can possibly look. It looks like piss.
Smell: Corona smells like skunk piss.
Taste: (with a lime) Corona tastes like being on a boat. It tastes like the beach. It tastes like having a hot young woman by your side in a bikini.
Seriously, pardon the juvenile figurative language but thats what Corona tastes like to me and it always will.
I believe that there is something to be said about beers that evoke powerful memories. Corona does this for me and so for better or worse I like the taste of the skunky urine juice.
Without a lime, however, Corona tastes like you took a jar of water, dropped some rotten corn husks in it, left it in the sun for a couple days, froze it, and then put it back in the sun before filtering and bottling. Its crap without lime.
I'm not some anal purist who thinks that lime is cheating. Adding an orange ot a Blue Moon to make it suck less is fine, adding a lemon to certain wheats to improve on them is fine, and adding a lime to a Cororna is manditory.
Mouthfeel: What mouthfeel? It feels like tap water.
Drinkability: At parties in the summer where my options are Miller Lite from the keg or Corona from the fridge, I can happily drink a half dozen of these perros or more without feeling much of anything. Gotta have about 5 limes wedged in to the last one if youre gonna drink that many though.

I don't think I've ever poured this into a glass. You can see right through it, anyway, thanks to the clear bottle. It's the color of a well-hydrated man's piss, and I would imagine any kind of "head" that forms disappears within seconds. The smell is.... well, the smell is kind of absent, to say the least. Corn, graininess, and a metallic tone. What I usually do is squeeze and drop a lime wedge into this one. Then it just smells like lime. The one lime wedge over-powers every other aroma. Taste is basically the same, crispy and dry from intense carbonation; corns, grains, the palest of all malt flavors. Musky hops, but not enough to really matter or make it bitter. More steel flavors. I've had many skunky bottles, but I've also had plenty that were fine. But again, if you drop the lime it, it pretty much takes over the entire flavor profile, which probably isn't a bad thing. Thin body, crispy as fuck.
Corona was my "go-to" beer before I got into craft. Now that I realize what's out there, it's kind of funny that I ever found this stuff "tasty". But even to this day, I'd still take it over a Bud Light. As long as I can drop a lime in and sprinkle the neck with salt.

A guy came into my craft beer store and asked if I had Corona. I gave him some snitty reply like: "We don't sell bad beer here." Afterwards I felt like a snob and I hate that so I decided to try this beer one more time with a unbiased mindset. Got the classic clear bottle from a bodega in Brooklyn.
A: Looks exactly like a good pee. Not too dark or light. Just a perfect pee colour. I mean you could feed this through a tube and use it to make special effects pee in a movie. Very little carbonation that fades instantly.
S: Smells very lightly of corn and rotting veggies. Is this really beer or some sort of corn wine? No hops or malt present in the aroma at all.
T: I can't believe I guzzled this down in college. Either my pallet has grown or I was just too drunk to notice but this is one bad tasting beer. The only consolation is it doesn't have much taste at all. But what it does have is rotten asparagus and old canned corn. Faintly, in the back.
M: Mouthfeel like canada dry seltzer. I guess this is why people like to drink it in the summer cause I like a nice seltzer on a hot day but the effect for me is ruined by subtle under taste of rust, can corn and rotten garbage.
D: Went down very easy but I did not enjoy it as it went down. As this is basically badly flavored seltzer water I got close to my college chugging record of 2 seconds with this beer. Made me flashback to vomiting in a trashcan as I finished it. Maybe I am the wrong kind of person to drink this beer as I have been exposed to good tasting beer. I have decided I will never taste it again. Praise Jah in all his glory. Never again.
So it seems I am not a snob after all. This beer is a marketing fraud perpetrated on the people of the earth. Not at all beer, it is my opinion that it is a badly made mixed drink that someone allowed some salad to fall into. Should this beer even be on the site? Is there a minimum amount of malt and hops you need to have in the beverage in ratio to other ingredients in order to be called beer? The only reason for a person to buy or drink this beer is because in your subconscious one has been programed to think that this beer is really refreshing on a hot day. It is not even that refreshing when you consider the other options available. Even PBR would be a better BBQ beer because it has that same refreshing effect without the garbage and corn flavor. Wow. Nobody should drink this so they go out of business. I feel for all the working class hispanics in my neighborhood who can only afford this beer to drink. Modelo is lying and stealing from customers and using the mass media to brainwash them into thinking it is a drinkable beer. It is not at all. My Final Verdict: Bad
P.S. Anyone who says this beer tastes of citrus or it tastes "limey" should think about the fact that they might have put a lime in the beer and that might be where the taste came from. If so that is not good reviewing because we are not here to review the lime juice that is added. I did not use a lime and I am here to tell you that this beer has ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, no lime or citrus flavor at all. Not even a little bit. Nope you are totally wrong if you think there is. Try again with out the lime in it, it really has no lime flavor. None whatsoever. Really, Seriously. No lime. Not even a hint of citrus. None. Nada...

This is a beer that if offered free, I would drink but if I have to pay, now way! It pours straw yellow with a slight head that fades very quickly. The nose is of grain and a little malt. The flavor is quite unobtrusive with a slight malt background and a crisp bite, but nothing exciting whatsoever. A drinkable beer that could definantly use a lime to help out with the flavor.

Here goes my inevitable Corona review. I'm drinking this at work as one of the accountants we share our office with bought this sixer. I have the Coronita Extra...in 7 oz. bottles....weird. What's the point?? I dunno. Golden piss yellow appeareance with not too much carbonation and a small bubbly head. Aromas of sweet corn, mexican brickweed skunkiness, and faint hints of lime (no..i didn't put a lime in it). Not appealing to say the least.
Sweet corn flavor upfront with tiny hints of citrus and possibly some grassy hop. A weird offputting funky flavor throughout. Extremely watery and basically boring. I can see why most people add the lime....
Mouthfeel is paper thin with small bubbly carbonation but no backbone at all. This is not a brew I would choose to drink...as there are many better. However, if I can drink it at work...and it's free...why not.

I feel that this is one of the most overhyped beer's on the market. I'd heard great things before I actually tried it. It was very disappointing. If I'm going to drink a mexican beer, I'd prefer Modelo Negro. Even though similar, I think it's a good alternative.

12onz clear bottle with "la cerveza mas fina"(the most fine beer) on front, i think it all depends who drink it,cause is not the fine one for me.
The appearance is very pale golden color with some white bubbles on the top,it looks really cool it the bartender open it champagne style.
The smell is like veggies a lot, maybe soemthing with the hops.
The taste is nothing to be impress about it some veggies again and some carbonation too.Does'nt feel bad on the mouth nothing to be impress neither.I would not drink this on regular basis.
I have heard lots of things about the lime in this beer some people says it change the taste of the beer (of course,it would taste like lime), but a friend was in a trip to Mexico some years ago, when this beer was not that popular in US and he tell that the tour guide tell him to rub a lime on bottle mouth to repell flys and insect. Is this true don't know but don't put anything in my beer anyway.

curry is a very good shooter but the greatest of alltime he is not. considering he has only been in the nba for 4yrs, curry has not made enough shots yet. especially big shots that change games and playoff games, and I have not mention the nba finals.

Two weeks ago, Stephen Curry capped off an amazing season by hitting his 272nd 3-pointer of the year, breaking Ray Allen's seven-year-old NBA record. His performance, combined with our hyperbolic here and now journalistic tendencies nearly caused a riot on the Internet. Since it was not merely good enough to proclaim that Curry is a great shooter – or maybe even the best shooter in the NBA right now – many journalists, bloggers, and fans began announcing that he was one of, if not the greatest shooter in basketball history. Bailey Deeter from Hoops Habit initially asked the question, "Is Stephen Curry the Greatest 3-Point Shooter of All Time?" In the article, he plainly points out that Curry's shooting percentages from long distance are far better than anyone else in the conversation. That, combined with this year's historic feat, clearly declares that Curry is, in fact, the best ever. There are more than a few flaws in his piece though, chief among them the mistake that he failed ...

Noosa River anchorage, Queensland
Anchored in the Noosa River is an ideal place for the shallow draft cruising catamaran. Protected waters of the river, services, 100+ coffee shops, restaurants, nearby surf beach and all manner of facilities. As it is shallow and relatively narrow there is an absence of large power boats and their disturbing power waves - and that could be the best feature of all.
The waterway is otherwise hole to a range of bird life and fish as the important eco system extends to Lake Cootharaba and beyond, lined with mangrove and native bush.
On any given day there is also fisherman, stand up paddlers, pontoon boats and other rental craft that hardly disturb.

Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.
This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself!

Many college graduates are finding themselves in a decidedly retro phenomenon, where economic independence starts from the security of their parents' homes.
"What seems to be changing is not that kids are returning home for a while after college, but how long they are living at home before they can leave," said Lawrence Levy, executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Long Island's Hofstra University. That could have widespread implications for local communities.
Changing economic dynamics and cultural shifts are among the reasons experts cite for the re-emergence of nuclear, multi-generational family homes not unlike family units of post-WWII America.
More Kids at Home, Less Stigma
study by the Pew Research Center of U.S. Census data determined that 39 percent of adults (ages 18-34) live with a parent or moved back home at some point during recent years. Among those who have just graduated high school or college (ages 18-24) 53 percent lived at home or moved back temporarily.
Those figures represent the highest percent of Americans living in multi-generational homes since the 1950's, the Pew study said.
In many affluent suburbs, insecurity about economic prospects often predeominate: An extensive survey by the Stony Brook University Center for Survey Research from the fall of 2011 was a snapshot of life in post-recession suburbia: nearly 70 percent of the Long Island households surveyed with family incomes between $35,000-$100,000 annually reported some difficulty in meeting their monthly mortgage or rental payments.
An Associated Press report in April that said opportunities for college graduates vary widely. The report indicated that those with degrees in the arts and humanities may have a long wait ahead of them.
Levy's take: "These are not your mother's and father's suburbs."
In the Pew study, nearly half of these so-called "boomerang" children report paying rent to their parents and almost 90 percent have helped with household expenses.
The social stigma of living at home may also be disappearing, many experts report. The Pew study said about 75 percent of returning young people reported the living arrangements were either good (24 percent) or about the same as before they left (48 percent).
Many reported having college friends in the same circumstances and, unlike previous generations, the explosion of social media keeps them in touch with college friends who are far away.
Sharply Divided Generations
Levy is a Baby Boomer, and after college, he traveled a bit and moved back home briefly, but picking a career and moving out went together naturally. He spent 30 years as a journalist, eventually becoming chief political columnist at Newsday.
"It is clear that this (new) generation now faces much bigger debt, car loans and school loans, credit card costs," Levy said. Looking at his friends and neighbors, he sees suburban newcomers who are more comfortable with a multi-generational family arrangement than the previous generations that turned Long Island's farms into bedroom communities of shopping plazas and armies of commuters to Manhattan.
He might as well be talking about Laura Conte. "I'm still at home because I enjoy it," said the 24 year old a public relations specialist. "I do not make enough money to live on my own and save the way that I want to. My monthly bills are fairly low and I think it is more beneficial to save my money at this point."
Even the secure are staying home. For the last year, financial advisor 29, is a practical, accomplished professional who understands the importance of saving for the future. Since graduating SUNY Binghamton, Trugman, who teaches others how to be responsible with money, first lived at home or with his dad and later shared a place with a brother. Now he has had his own place, an apartment in Plainview, a Long Island suburb about 30 miles east of Manhattan. But that is a recent development.
"It's financially challenging to enjoy a certain lifestyle while building a practice, and finding the time to pursue professional designations," he said.
In many ways Trugman is the norm among educated suburbanites who didn't want to leave their home communities and were willing to re-adjust to living with relatives. His approach can be strikingly pragmatic to people who think of the their 20s as a time to head out adventurously into the world and start a career.
For Conte, a 1950s-style scenario sounds just fine: "I would like to stay at home until I get married or save enough money to put a down payment on a house," the LIU Post graduate said. "Whichever happens first."

Spark Plug Diagnosis
I changed the plugs on my Cub this weekend. Been wanting to do this since I bought it in Nov. 2005. Not sure how long these have been in it, but I thought some of you Doctors of Cubology would be able to make some assessments of my Cub based on how they look.
I do get some blue smoke as those who saw it at CubFest DeGraff and CubFest N.E. 2006 can attest.
The plugs that I replaced (pictured) are Autolite #386.
The new plugs are Champion D21 (502).
I did set the gap to .023.
From the color of the plugs it looks like #2 is burning just right. The other 3 appear to be running a touch lean. All in all they look good. Just my opinion.
I have a DM degree (Doctor of Motors). I usually charge, cash only, for professional advice. In this case I will make an exception and take two laying hens.
Normal or normal worn. Kinda hard to tell from the photo angle and with out a closer look at the electrode and insulator. #3 could be too hot of a plug as well as #1 and #4. Other possibilities on #s 1,3 & 4 are lean fuel mixture and ignition timing. And the last possibility is that this engine does not have a lot of running time on this set of plugs.
So, when can I expect delivery of the hens?
I have an excuse. CRS.
Are the differences caused by build up of crud on the intake valves?
Eugene, funny you should mention laying hens. We just so happen to have 15 with plans on adding 6 this spring. Two years ago we had 25.
I have no idea when these plugs were put in, but I would guess that I've put around 50 hours on the Cub since I bought it.
(Actually I personally have put maybe 10 hours on, Erik (my oldest) about 10, Aron, about 20, and Emily about 10.)
I just noticed your list of tractors & I was wondering, is there something wrong with you that might be contageous or is it a mental condition? You see, I saw my first Cub in late December and I already have two. I still find myself looking at the "for sale" section, looking for another great deal and it makes me wonder. Is it just me or are people like you implanting some sort of internet based cyber mind scrambling code that is messing up the nurons in my brain......BUY ANOTHER CUB, BUY ANOTHER CUB, BUY ANOTHER CUB...........
You have quite an impressive list!!
Eugene: You jest about taking two hens instead of cash but I can remember when that was a commom medium of payment. I don't remember much of the late 1930's and early 40's but one thing I do recall is peddlers traveling from house to house making repairs on cookware or selling items. My parents bought a new woodburning cook stove and they traded live chickens as part of their payment. It had a reservoir for water mounted on one end of the stove so warm water was available whenever the stove was in use. A big improvement over the burned out unit which they had been using. Dan

I believe it's a disease. I "cut my teeth " on a cub, then was without one for probably 30 years. Scotty saw one at school and decided he liked them. He got a Needs work cub for Christmas 2 years ago. We restored that one and somehow are upto 5 cubs and 2 cadettes between us. Hope they don't find a cure. Ed

Something up setting the air fuel mixture could be causing the white insulators. Could be manifold gasket, valve tappet gap, lean air fuel mixture, etc.. #1 cause is wrong heat range.
Suggest doing a complete tune up including valve tappets. I'd check the plugs again at the next tune up.

Spark Plug Analysis
Seems like 3 is running a bit hot, but no visible harm. Bet you get good mileage! Run 'em.
If you are planning on replacing them I would drop to a little cooler plug. I guess those all look lean to me. I like to see them light tan. I spose on a low RPM 4-stroke engine a having them that light probably isnt a problem. If I saw those on my snowmobile engine I would be worried. My guess is either the gasket between the carb and manifold or the manifold gasket could be leaking. I run D21s in my cub becuase it burns some oil.

Does anyone else use an anti-seize on their plugs? I do, out of habit from working with aluminum heads, but is it desireable with cast iron heads?
"Remember, I'm pulling for you - we're all in this together!"
Quoted from Red Green of Possum Lodge
When you get older, lack of pep is often mistaken for patience.
(1956 and 1948 Cubs)
It's desireable enough for me. It allows loosening the plugs with one tug on a 7/8" box end wrench and spinning them the rest of the way out with fingers.

I'm not sure that you would call it "anti-seize" but my dad taught my brother and I to put a couple of drops of oil on the threads before installing the plugs. Still do and have not had a problem removing a plug yet.
I do the same thing on the wheel lug nuts when I rotate tires and put the snows on and take them off. Never had one I could not get off.
Thanks for all the feed back on the condition of the plugs and what it means.

FAA issues NOTAM restricting U.S. operations from flying over Syria
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a new Notice To Airmen restricting U.S. operators from flying in the Damascus Flight Information Region, which includes all of Syria. The FAA said, "This replaces the current NOTAM in place that strongly advises U.S. operators against flying in that airspace and requires them to contact the FAA before they operate in that airspace. Based on an updated assessment of the risk associated with such operations and the lack of any requests from operators wishing to fly in this airspace, we believe it prudent to prohibit U.S. operators from flying into, out of, and over Syria. The ongoing armed conflict and volatile security environment in Syria poses a serious potential threat to civil aviation. Armed extremist groups in Syria are known to be equipped with a variety of anti-aircraft weapons which have the capability to threaten civilian aircraft. Opposition groups have successfully shot down Syrian military aircraft using these anti-aircraft weapon systems during the course of the conflict. Opposition elements have previously warned civilian air carriers against providing service to Syria. Due to the presence of anti-aircraft weapons among the extremist groups and ongoing fighting in various locations throughout Syria, there is a continuing significant potential threat to civil aviation operating in Syrian airspace." Publicly traded companies in the airline industry include American Airlines (AAL), Delta Air Lines (DAL), JetBlue (JBLU), Southwest (LUV) and United Continental (UAL).

SELINSGROVE, Pa. — Tears streamed down 11-year-old Samantha Carlson's cheeks after the Selinsgrove, Pa. Zoning Hearing Board denied a variance request on Thursday night that would have allowed her father to keep the tree house he was building for his daughter's birthday.
The five-member zoning board ruled unanimously that the tree house violated a borough ordinance and that it had to be razed.
Upon hearing the vote, Samantha's father, a visibly upset John "J.C." Carlson, said: "After serving 22 years in the military and thinking I've seen everything, tonight proved me absolutely wrong. I've never in my life seen anyone deny a child a tree house."
For more than an hour, the Carlsons, represented by attorney Joel Wiest, and about 14 friends and neighbors, attempted to persuade the board that the family should be granted a variance, and allowed to continue to build an 8-foot by 6-foot wooden structure on a tree stump in the front yard of the Carlsons' home.
Wiest opened the hearing by conceding that the tree house could be classified as an "accessory structure" on Carlson's property.
"What we are asking for this evening is a variance from that portion of your borough code, which states that the setback for a structure in this zoned area is 35 feet. We are asking for a variance from that requirement."
One by one, neighbors stood up and testified under oath that having the tree house in the neighborhood would not detract from the essence of the neighborhood.
Neighbor George Pence said he collected a petition signed by 20 neighbors saying "Let them build the tree house."
Another neighbor, Carol Scartelli, said: "I am thrilled at the project. It is something Mark Twain would do."
Terry Sprenkle attested to the family's character.
"They are good people, a good Christian family and it is how they are raising their daughter," she said. "This shouldn't be a big deal. It's only a temporary tree house. Let's just let them have it."
Carlson has lived in his house for about four years with his wife, Fay, and Samantha. On her birthday in May, she asked her father if he could build a tree house.
The only tree on the property was the stump in the front yard.
"It's the only place he could build a tree house," Wiest said. "It's a stump, that's true, but it's a tree stump."
Carlson began to build the tree house, but when code officer Janet Powers saw it while driving by, she noted that it violated the zoning ordinance because it was located on his front lawn on a lot that doesn't accommodate its large size.
After receiving notice of the violation, Carlson stopped building the tree house and asked for a zoning board hearing to make the case for a variance.
But several board members noted that a playhouse could be build elsewhere on the property that would adhere to the code. It just wouldn't be a tree house.
After the Carlsons and their supporters presented their case, the board went into a brief executive session prior to voting.
"This is just ridiculous," Carlson said during the break. "I never thought it would come to this. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd have to testify just so that I could fulfill my daughter's wishes."
After the vote, zoning board chairman Runkle looked out at the media members covering the meeting and said: "I guess we're really being made to look like the bad guys. But there is the alternative we suggested that a playhouse could be built elsewhere on the property. And rather than using an unstable tree stump, Mr. Carlson could use a lumber block and build what amounts to a tree house that would be safer ... and still meet code requirements.
"It might not meet the young lady's definition of a tree house, but in the board's opinion it would be a sufficient substitute.
"Good luck," Runkle added, "with the tree house in the backyard."
Added board solicitor Robert Slivinski: "It's a good thing she didn't ask for a castle with a moat for her birthday. Look, we are bound by the municipality's planning code, which is state law, which is mirrored in the borough's ordinance. The law is very specific about when we can grant a variance. It's very strict. Every board member would have loved for that little girl to have a tree house, but the law just didn't allow it. If there is a change, the change has to be with the Borough Council."
