The Dallas Stars were hoping to make the most of their current three-game homestand, but they are off to a rocky start. They lost their second straight at American Airlines Center this week, falling 4-3 to the Vancouver Canucks at American Airlines Center.
"I thought that our work ethic was strong tonight and we improved certainly some of the things we've had for a couple of days in practice but it's a result-based business and we didn't get the result," said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan.
The loss was the third in the last four games for the Stars, who dropped to 8-8-1 on the season. Over the last four games the Stars have allowed 18 goals (4.5 per game). All those goals (excluding one empty net tally) allowed by Dallas goaltenders other than Kari Lehtonen, who remains out with a groin injury. Not that everything is on the goaltending, but Lehtonen is 7-2-1 this season and Richard Bachman and Christopher Nilstorp are a combined 1-6-0.
On Thursday, Nilstorp got his third start of the season and his first since January 26. He allowed four goals on 22 shots.
"I thought he made some good saves," said Gulutzan. "I think there was maybe one there that he would have played a little differently. But he gave us a chance and I thought he was OK."
The Stars' power play was less than OK in this game. It went 0-5 and is now 0-12 over the last three games.
"All successful power plays are getting the pucks to the point, getting shots to the net," said Stars captain Brenden Morrow. "We're just standing around looking for plays instead of shooting pucks at the net and creating things off of rebounds in my opinion."
The two teams traded goals over the first two periods. Jamie Benn opened the scoring 35 seconds into the game, skating from the blue line to the front of the Vancouver net, gathering up the rebound after his initial shot was blocked and then roofing a shot from a sharp angle. The Canucks answered at the 8:29 mark of the first when Alex Burrows tipped home an Alex Edler shot with Vancouver on the game's first power play.
The Stars took the lead early in the second when Michael Ryder scored off a nifty backhand shot from the left circle. The Canucks answered less than five minutes later with the two teams playing four-on-four. Dan Hamhuis set Kevin Bieksa, who split the Dallas defense and got off a one-handed backhand shot that beat Nilstorp between the legs.
"It was a bad goal, that second one. Everyone could see that," said Nilstorp. "But you have to move on and focus on the next shot. You always try to do your best and give your team a chance to win. Today we lost, so it kind of sucks."
The Canucks scored two quick goals early in the third period to build a 4-2 lead. Jason Garrison scored from the left point at the 2:32 mark and just 1:46 later Henrik Sedin finished off a two-on-one rush to make it a 4-2 game. The Stars made it 4-3 on a Morrow goal with 13:53 remaining, but could never get the equalizer.The took a late penalty, which gave the Canucks the opportunity to run the clock out on the power play.
"We take a penalty in there and shoot ourselves in the foot," said Benn
The victory ended a three-game winless streak for the Canucks, who improved to 9-3-4 on the season.
"It was huge," said Canucks center Ryan Kesler. "Especially with the tough losses we've had giving up a lead, and against these guys last time."
Injury update: Lehtonen doing better
Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen, who missed his second straight game with a groin injury, is still listed as day-to-day. But Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said Lehtonen is showing improvement.
"He was a lot better today, but I don't have a timeframe with him," said Gulutzan. "He's still day-to-day but a lot better than yesterday and that's what we can hope for."
Defenseman Trevor Daley, who missed Thursday's game with a neck injury, is also day-to-day. Gulutzan said Daley is "50-50" for Saturday.
*The Stars have scored three goals or more in eight straight games and nine of their last ten.
*The Stars outshot the Canucks 25-22. The Stars have outshot their opposition in five of the last six games.
*Matt Fraser was a healthy scratch for Dallas.
*Attendance for Thursday's game was 17,393

With the east coast 3 hours ahead of Arizona, the peak is Sunday morning along the Atlantic coastline.
The constellation Lyra rises in the northwest sky at around 10 PM on Sunday night.
Lyra is where most meteors appear to originate from giving the shower its name, Lyrid.

Princess lines did an excellent job with boarding and disembarking. Very well organised and no waiting time. With only 700 boarding in Melbourne waiting time should not be a problem anyway. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I was impressed how they assisted the elderly passengers on board of which there were many. The 'demographic' on this cruise would be the oldest I have experienced with lots of people needing assistance with mobility.
Our particular dining and stateroom attendants were very professional as was the Customer Service desk the two times I went there. The visiting entertainment was very average. Princess singers and dancers were excellent as was some of the regular entertainment on board. eg New Deal in the Wheelhouse and Alan and Alana in the Atrium. The ship was very nice and I love the Promenade Deck where you can walk all the way around. I did miss not having a lounge up front on a high deck where you can sit and look out at the sea. The food was great and even though the buffet was often busy you could always find a seat especially if you were willing to share.
We went on this ship to sample the Dawn Princess and an inside cabin. The cabins were the smallest we have even cruised in so be warned. I had to climb from the bottom of the bed at there was no room to walk around. I know some like smaller ships but I would not want to do a long cruise on Dawn Princess (that is more than 12-14 days) I would certainly not cruise in an inside cabin ever again on any ship.

I purchased this at Ktg day '10 and entered it since it is obviously not the same as the dunkelweizen and has 'Winter Hefeweizen' clearly marked on the handwritten labels.
A - A medium apricot color w/ 2 fingers of sudsy cream w/ pillowy look. The lace clings well and clarity is lightly hazed and the beer has good head retention.
S- The smell has lots of ripe banana and mild cola notes w/ subtle sweet biscuit and gentle peppery aroma
M - The mild tang of yeast in the feel is moderate as is carbonation w/ mild sweetness and med light body w/ gentle spiciness and subtle alcohol in the background
T - The flavor has a toasted wheat cereal flavor w/ mild tropical notes from the yeast and slight caramel. There is mild dried fruit sweetness in the flavor w/ a light pepper taste. A gentle kiss of alcohol lets you know this isn't the standard hefeweizen as it finishes w/ mild element of apple
D - This is a tasty brew, a good hefeweizen but still lacks some of the smooth wheat character of a traditional example. I consider this better than average for the most part.

So I go to Kate day and since I'm a hefe head and love all related beers I had to get a growler of this.
A cloudy burnt orange with a white head. Decent retention and touches of lace. Not much bubbling going on until you sip, then a fog like carbonation wells up from the middle of the glass.
Smell is your first clue that you have struck gold. Large amounts of banana followed by a healthy amount of clove and an undercurrent of bubblegum. Nice. A deep dark wheat grained malt with a peppery spiciness and maybe a hint of alcohol. Just maybe. Some caramel like notes. A light hefe like yeasty funk with faint lemon adds the finishing touch.
Taste is just perfect. If a 5 means can't improve then that is what I'm saying. All the attributes of the nose with a bigger lemon presence. There are so many flavors in this glass. All of the nose flavors with so much more. Banana rides in first and sits on the horse. Followed by cloves and juicy sour green apples. A subtle lemon background. There is a roasted wheat malt breadiness for a backbone and faint cinnamon. So delicious. Sweet caramel and more banana. There is a dry tartness that expresses the peppery spiciness. Finish is long and filled with banana bread, caramel, and dry tart apples with a melon juiciness and cloves. Alcohol just barely peeks out but if you are not paying attention on a hyper level you will miss it. Feel is crisp and light with a perfect microfine effervescence. A quenching brew that while satisfying does not have any heaviness.
Drinks like a low abv beer. You want to quaff this one and kick back but it's so well made you have to sip and savor. At least for the first glass. After that all bets are off. Then you have to watch out for the sneaky abv. Now that I've had it I'm going to have to contact my new friends in the area to procure some more of this stuff. If I could get this all the time the only thing that would stop me from drinking it would be a hefe of the same caliber. Then I could switch beer from warm months to cold. Best dunkel I've had

On-tap 3/1/2010 at the brewpub, served in a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep golden brown color, with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is a pleasant blend of bananas, wheat, spices, caramelized malts and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of bananas and spices that are quickly followed by a strong wheat breadiness. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and the hops presence is mild but complementary, creating a good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
D: Very tasty, goes down quite easily, not too filling, good kick, very good representation of style, this is a really nice beer to session with for a long time.

22oz. bottle purchased on KTG eve. Served in a weizen glass at 50 degrees. Poured a dull burnt orange with hazy clarity and a three inch creamy, off-white head. Head eventually settles into a frothy, quarter inch cap. Some web-like swaths of lacing revealed during the tasting. Smells great - banana and bubblegum dominate the front with some clove character coming out behind. Taste is somewhat muted in comparison to the boldness of the nose. Also, a bit of citric acid comes out in the middle, as well as a subtle wheat quality in the mix. Finish reminds me of banana peel strings. Mouthfeel is light-medium, with a pleasant background carbonation. I love this style and I really dig this beer.

Soooo... I received a completely unexpected box today from rpstevens... Contained within was a Portsmouth Wheatwine!! While it may be a while before I get to the WW... It did remind me that I still have a Winter Weizen received as an incredibly cool extra from our first (and hopefully not our last) trade... Huge Thanks to Ryan for both beers. Poured into my small weizen glass.
Huge head towers more than an inch out of the glass.. very rocky and amazing retention.. very cloudy lite copper colored brew... surprisingly.. not a whole lot of lacing.
Nose is more banana than clove... a little bit more than expected "pink bubblegum" aroma that is appreciated... a nice toasty bready element ties all the esters and phenols together.. very balanced.
Flavor mirrors the nose with a little caramel riding with the maltiness.. very balanced banana with a little lesser clove and still an inviting bubblegum essence.. grainy pale malts emerge a little bit more as it warms up.. medium body with a creamy mouthfeel and small bubble carbonation that is still pretty effervescent..
This brew could easily have been brewed in Germany.. nearly perfect.. I honestly can't find any flaws.. finish is long and reminds me of banana bread..
Thanks again Ryan... A superb trade from a fantastic trader... I'll do it again any time.

A: 22 oz bottle w/ classic Portsmouth Brewery label w/ "Winter Weizen" hand-written in sharpie on the front. No freshness or bottling date. This beer pours with a towering creamy head, standing tall for awhile, then settling into a rocky yet igneous surface of at least 1/2 inch throughout. Beautiful cloudy golden color. Looks great.
S: Smells of freshly baked bread, ripe bananas, clove, and cinnamon. Like a loaf of banana bread.
T: First sip is bananas and spice, giving way to a strong wheat taste, finishes both buttery and cinnamon-fresh. The slightest tang. Tastes crisp with mild bittering hops paving the way for an oh-so smooth sweetness, but not cloying. This is like the best dessert ever.
M: Like drinking cumulonimbus clouds. A great body containing a light, delicate fizz with a slickness that keeps it sliding down the trap, begging you for another quaff. So luxurious and refreshing.
D: A perfect five for drinkability. You couldn't find a more drinkable beer. I could drink a gallon of this.
Notes: This is absolutely the best Weizen/Weizebock/Dunkelweizen I have ever had. Better than all the big name german ones, even. Kudos to Todd and Tyler for putting Portsmouth on the map, again. I wish this was a year-round brew.

Bomber shared by glid02.
Pours a cloudy golden orange with a sizable white head that showed good retention and left only a trace of lacing.
The aroma has the typical Belgian yeast aroma of bubble gum and bananas with some cloves as well. Faint hints of hops and a light fruity sweetness.
The taste amps up the sweetness with the same bananas and light fruit as the aroma. There is hop kick up front with some apples and pears in the middle before some spices finish it off with a dry finish.
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with lots of sticky sweetness.
I really enjoyed this one and it's very, very drinkable. Thanks to Gregg for sharing.

Tried this courtesy of Norica - thanks again!
Pours a hazy orange-copper color with a thin white head that dissipates into a wispy layer on top leaving some lacing.
Smells of light fruits - mostly bananas but with some hints of pears - with some light spices. The fruits smell fresher than most other weizens, i.e. they don't have as much underlying sweetness - I like this.
Tastes similar to how it smells. The spices are a bit more pronounced, but the fruits still run the show. Like the smell the fruit flavors don't have as much of an underlying sweetness as the average weizen. Again, I'm a fan.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a good thickness with soft carbonation that makes this beer go down smoothly.
Drinkability is very good. I could have more than a few of these at any time of year.
Overall this was a very tasty beer. The flavors are crisper than I've come to except from this family of beers, and needless to say I was impressed. Worth a shot, and thanks again for Norica for sending this one along!

Poured into a weizen glass, appearance and lacing doesn't get any better. Aroma and finish of slight cloves, faint banana in the nose but predominantly bubblegum. This beer blows away any import dunkelweizen that you can find stateside, a true joy to drink. 7% and loaded with yumminess, a beer to drink all day/night long that doesn't B$#@*slap your palate and forget where you parked your car. If only other US brewers would pay more attention to similiar styles and doing them as well as this. I hope there is more left the next time I'm in Portsmouth. Cheers to great beers <7%!!!

A summery winter wheat, or a wintry summer wheat? Both. And as such, something very drinkable throughout the year. Recommended by staff at the brewpub itself, this Weizen poured out a bit flat with no head, yet upon sampling had 'hidden' carbonation that opened up a nicely complex flavor. On on hand there was a slightly Christmas quality with apple ginger hints and a medium body. On the other hand, there was a lightness that displayed lemon-cloves that reminded one of summer. Not too sweet, nice wheat hops and definitely an easy beer to enjoy.

Poured into a weizen glass. Color was a golden amber, beer was very cloudy with small amounts of bubbles rising from the bottom. A very small thin foamy head disappeared quickly leaving a ring around the top. Aroma was strongly banana bread, and was slightly sweet with a dash of vanilla. Taste was slightly of banana bread, more bread than banana with a bit of sweet cloves. Also a bit of citrus hiding in there. Felt good in the mouth. Coated nicely, a bit of carbonation. Vey easy to drink. Worked pretty well for a style I usually associate with summer not winter.

Got the last bottle in the shop at The Portsmouth Brewery!!
Pours a hazed copper color, darker around the edges. Creamy white head diminishes, but stays with the beer for the duration. Smells like banana bread, and I'm loving that! There's clove in there, too. Crazy lingering banana flavor, spicy too. Nice creamy mouthfeel....this is just excellent!

On tap poured in my Imperial pint glass with a cloudy yellowish orange body. There was a large quickly dissipating white head that falls away to almost no lace
Aromas of Belgian yeast is strong along with the typical bananas and clove
Medium body and smooth on the tongue
I have been drinking a few of these this weekend getting ready for summer. The experience has been quite pleasurable
I say this brew is a must try for any fans of the style

On-tap at the Portsmouth Brewery for dinner.
Pours a hazy yellow/orange color with some decent lacing.
Smell is very yeasty with a hint of orange zest, some clove.
Taste is very spicy, bit malty but the spiciness really controls this beer, strong orange taste with a yeastiness, very sweet, slight lemonish taste, good carbonation if only slightly high.

A cloudy orange color with a medium head and nice lacing. The beer had a sweet, malty aroma. A fruity, banana taste with a little hoppiness at the end, althought the hops presence died out as I drank the pint. Decent mouthfeel, and very drinkable. I will have this again.

This beer was still on tap when we last visited the brewpub. Pour when served was the color of burnished copper, and was slightly cloudy. The 1/2 inch white head died quickly. I was still able to pick up on the banana/cloves/yeastiness in the aroma. Medium in mouthfeel, tastewise the bananas and yeastiness is what stood out for me.

I was wonderfully surprised to see this beer on tap today when I drove to Portsmouth for lunch. It poured a hazy dark gold color with little head or lace. The nose has the clove, banana, and vanilla character you expect from a hefe weizen, but there is a little caramel not from the malt. All of the same is found in the flavor along with just a hint of orange peel, and a little roast malt character. Nice rich, smooth mouth feel. This is a highly drinkable beer that is really growing on me. I'm not sure about this being a dunkel. Great beer though.

Enjoyed a couple of pints of this with "Bro" Artied2 yesterday at the Brewpub.
It poured a dull, sort of flat, tawny brown color, and was quite cloudy throughout. The hue was somewhat between a typical Hefe and a Dunkelweizen. Head was thin and light tan, and did not last much at all, though lacing was quite attractive. It has an absolutely lovely aroma, with plenty of clove and banana. This brew was medium bodied, and rather smooth on the palate for a Hefe.
Flavor is also replete with banana and clove, with a sweetness similar to honey. All these flavors linger long and hard in the mouth. Add in a saison-like bit of spiciness, and you have a superb, Bavarian-influenced rendition of the style. Quite flavorful!
overall: 4.25
appearance: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | mouthfeel: 4 | drinkability: 4.5

Walked in a winter wonderland with this one on 12/28/2004. 16-oz. pint in a shaker glass at the source.
Fluff of half-inch head that stuck and laced straight down; very pleasing. Hazy, golden honey to an almost amber hue with little discernible action going on. Kind of a soapy fining note on nose with orange peel and maybe some annise; on the whole, a sedate bouquet that is difficult to pull out. Cloves, allspice, nutmeg, clover honey, husky wheat throatiness to taste that dissipates quickly. Quite busy at the start, it finishes quickly and leaves little residue.

---- — UTICA — It was yet another tough loss for the Clinton Community College men's soccer team on Saturday when Darius Gueh's goal with 2:20 remaining in regulation gave Mohawk Valley Community College a 2-1 victory.
The hosts held a 1-0 lead at the half on Jacob Pohl's goal midway through.
Nate Noelting tied it for the Cougars at the 29:26 mark of the second half, only to have Gueh win it for Mohawk Valley in the late going.
Chris Hanifin made three saves in the Mohawk Valley nets, while Adam Goldfarb had six stops for the Cougars, who were outshot by a 13-10 margin.
"It was a great game," Clinton coach Gene Bushey said. "They scored with just two minutes left in the second half and it was an unfortunate loss for us.
"We played hard and played well. It was a tough loss to take on the road."
Clinton (0-6-2) will next play Jefferson Community College on Saturday.
Mohawk Valley 2, Clinton 1
Clinton 0 1 — 1
Mohawk Valley 1 1 — 2
First half- 1, MVCC, Pohl, 22:46.
Second half- 2, CCC, Noelting, 29:26. 3, MVCC, Gueh, 42:40.

"I'm probably the only armed baker in town."
– Bruce Reesman, who owns Smart Security and Investigations, Not Just A Cop Shop and Twizted Confections, a bakery that opened this week in Normandie Center
"I'm probably the only armed baker in town."
– Bruce Reesman, who owns Smart Security and Investigations, Not Just A Cop Shop and Twizted Confections, a bakery that opened this week in Normandie Center
WICHITA — It perhaps makes sense that Tina and Bruce Reesman own both Smart Security and Investigations and Not Just A Cop Shop. Their newest business, though, is going to be a deviation from the security world.
The Reesmans are opening Twizted Confections, a bakery, in Normandie Center at Central and Woodlawn next month.
"My husband actually has been baking for many years, and this is a passion of his," Tina Reesman says.
The bakery will open in the approximately 3,500 square feet where Subway used to be.
Normandie also is where Sweetly Scrumptious is, but Reesman says she and her husband's business will be slightly different.
They plan to sell pastries such as cookies, baklava, cannoli and what she calls "authentic East Coast" cheesecake and pies.
"I hate to say this, but you can taste the calories when you eat it," Reesman says. "We don't cut back on the butter. We don't cut back on the sugar. What you're eating is rich and decadent and melts in your mouth."
Twizted Confections won't have cupcakes or cakes.
"My husband is so incredibly talented … that when he makes cakes it's a huge process," Reesman says.
They'll offer some sugar-free and gluten-free items along with some savory food, such as quiches for lunch and mini quiches for appetizers.
The bakery will have a soft opening on Election Day Nov. 6 with some donkey and elephant cookies. Anyone who shows an "I voted" sticker can have a free cookie.
UPDATED — Smart Security and Investigations and Not Just A Cop Shop are moving this weekend from 626 N. Broadway to 2819 E. Central, which is between Hillside and Grove.
The retail shop is "really the inspiration to move," says Tina Sidelnik-Reesman, who owns the businesses with her husband, Bruce Reesman.
"It wasn't a very good storefront," Sidelnik-Reesman says of the Broadway space. "It just made it really tough for us to be able to sell things. It just wasn't very consumer friendly."
Smart Security and Investigations opened a decade ago. It's a full service security company that offers security guards, private investigation and process serving.
A storefront wasn't as important for that business as it is for Not Just A Cop Shop.
That's a retail store that sells products such as Tasers, Mace, GPS tracking devices, alarm systems and Android pads.
It used to be called SSI Equipment and Supply.
"Nobody knew what that meant," Sidelnik-Reesman says.

ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) - They play the undead.
But that doesn't mean people in a Jersey shore town aren't competitive.
Some 9,592 people in Asbury Park broke the Guinness World Records for the largest gathering of zombies in the city's sixth annual Zombie Walk Saturday. The event had held the world record until it was broken by 8,027 zombies in Minneapolis last year.
Guinness adjudicator Michael Empric tells the Asbury Park Press the costumes were amazing and most people went above and beyond.

By MONICA JOSEPH
The Nov. 3 Goshen Crimson Marching Band's second-place finish at state brought back 25-year-old memories of "The Band from Nowhere," as The Goshen News lovingly dubbed us in print.
We had suffered a huge disappointment in 1986 when I was a sophomore. I think we all felt we had performed more than well enough at regionals to make state for the first time. But in marching band, there is no ball through a hoop to determine who wins or loses. There are human beings with their own peeves and preferences watching from a booth who determine your fate.
WE BOUNCED BACK from the disappointment and had a great early season in 1987. We were sweeping caption awards and the color guard, which I was part of, was scoring well. Things were just clicking that year. Yes, there was extra practice, hard work, great choreography and music. But with marching bands it is more than that. It really is a click. It is hard to explain, but you know it when you feel it.
And then, at regional competition, history was made. The band scored high enough to qualify for state competition for the first time. Not only scored high enough, we found out later — we were in first place.
We were headed to the Hoosier Dome.
THERE WAS NO semi-state competition back then. Bands went from regionals to state the next week. I don't remember much about the week in between. I'm sure we had extra practices. But I do remember being told we were going to be the first band in our class to compete. "Yikes" does not begin to describe that news.
The actual performance is a blur. But I do remember our directors, Dave Plank and Max Mault, telling us that no matter what the outcome was, we were to comport ourselves with dignity. We were to stand at attention and save our emotion — good or bad — for after the awards.
And then the announcer started naming bands. And naming them, and naming them.
It started to feel like a giant shiver was going through the entire band, but we stayed in formation. Finally it was down to three bands: Northview, Goshen and Greenwood, the reigning champ and a perpetual powerhouse. We tied for second with Northview on our first trip to state.
WE HELD IT TOGEHER until we left the stadium and then all "dignity" was lost. We screamed and yelled and cheered ourselves hoarse. I'm surprised the bus driver didn't flee in terror at the thought of transporting that teeming mass of sweaty, crazed teen-agedness three hours home.
It seemed like the Crimson Marching Band had finally hit its stride. We made it to state again the next year, where we placed fourth — much to our dismay, if you can believe it. I was part of group of seniors sobbing because we "only" placed fourth. And then Max Mault came upon the tragic scene and gave us a verbal smackdown.
It was basically the Tom Hanks "There's no crying in baseball" speech. Along with "There are hundreds of bands out there who would love to be in your shoes." And, essentially, "How did you get to be such spoiled brats on your second-only trip to state?"
Perspective received. And appreciated.
I'M WONDERING if making it to state is now taken for granted for the Crimson Marching Band and our other great local bands. Because it really is a great accomplishment, whether you go every year or for the first time. You are the elite. The top 10. Stop for a moment and savor that.

In his seminal book "Making Movies," Sidney Lumet wrote, "I've done two movies because I needed the money. I've done three because I love to work and couldn't wait anymore. Because I'm a professional, I worked as hard on those movies as on any I've done. Two of them turned out to be good and were hits." As with any freelance job, few filmmakers are in full control of their destiny -- they're at the behest of what they're offered, what they can actually get made, and, even once a film is in production, any number of factors that can make the difference between a creatively successful or creatively lacking film.
But even so, it's hard to look at the choices of some directors and feel that they're not squandering their talent somewhat with the wrong projects, the wrong picks, the wrong direction. After taking a look a few weeks ago at ten actors who need a little adjustment in their career trajectories, we've picked out five directors who've all done good work in the past, but could do with a little revaluation of where they go from here. There's plenty more where this lot came from, so if there's a filmmaker you'd like to see make some better choices in future, let us know who they are in the comments section below.
This is arguably a relative one so read before you fly off the handle, please. Few would have thought back in 1995 that the neurotically charming lead of indie hit "Swingers" -- who also wrote the movie's script -- would have turned out to be a major tentpole filmmaker down the line. By the time of the release of megahit "Iron Man" in 2008, few would have suspected that Jon Favreau, by then established better as a director than an actor, would be having the kind of difficulties he faces these days. Favreau made his directorial debut with the solid "Swingers" spiritual sequel "Made" in 2001, but soon found himself with a huge surprise hit after directing Will Ferrell smash "Elf" just two years later. The film had a ridiculous premise, but Favreau walked the line carefully, keeping it smart, charming and sweet, with inspired directorial touches like Rankin/Bass-style stop-motion animation for the visual effects elements. Fewer people saw it, but follow-up "Zathura" was almost as good, a spacebound family adventure that captures the spirit of classic Amblin family fare. And by the time that "Iron Man" was busting blocks at the box office, Favreau was firmly ensconced on the A-list. And yet things haven't been so happy since. "Iron Man 2" was allegedly beset by creative differences between Marvel and Favreau, and the results on screen sadly speak for themselves. And maybe Favreau shouldn't take the fall for that one, but the same can't be said for follow-up "Cowboys & Aliens," a silly concept done in an overly serious manner with a too-many-cooks script and a generic orange-and-teal look. Worse, the film was also a big money loser. As a result, Favreau's had problems getting other projects off the ground. Disney's "Magic Kingdom" doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast, and musical "Jersey Boys" just got put into turnaround by WB. We're not saying that Favreau isn't talented. He is and he's proven it. But as someone who shot up to the A-list so fast and so unexpectedly, he seems to be stumbling at the moment. There was a spot of brightness with J.J. Abrams-produced TV pilot "Revolution," which Favreau directed. It was not great to be frank, but it was at least a huge hit. But we can't be alone in thinking that maybe Favreau needs to take a tentpole break and go back to his "Swingers" roots for something that could reinvigorate him creatively. Failing that, maybe a big-screen collaboration with Abrams would be the answer?
Actor-directors don't always have the easiest time of it, but like Jon Favreau, Peter Berg has been creeping towards the A-list over the years. The one-time "Chicago Hope" actor made his directorial debut with 1998's enjoyably mean-spirited dark comedy "Very Bad Things" (coincidentally starring Favreau), and proved to be a consistently impressive filmmaker over his next few pictures. First, with underrated Dwayne Johnson actioner "The Rundown," and more importantly with "Friday Night Lights," the 2004 football movie that numbers among one of the best sports movies ever made. The film spawned a beloved TV series which was just as good, with Berg directing the pilot, and while it was never high-rated, it's become something of a pop culture touchstone, to the extent that Mitt Romney tried to steal the "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" slogan of the show for his presidential campaign (Berg objected strongly). 2007's "The Kingdom" wasn't quite as strong overall, but was, nevertheless, a decent thriller with some cracking action sequences and some interesting political texture to it. But like with Favreau, the lure of the tentpole seems to have been Berg's undoing. First up was 2008's "Hancock," a ludicrously uneven, tonally bonkers superhero vehicle for Will Smith. It was undoubtedly a creative failure, but we suppose kind of an interesting one, and it was at least a giant hit. The same can't be said of this year's "Battleship," easily one of the worst films of the year; a laughable, noisy, dull blockbuster actioner that's most notable for an absolute trainwreck of a script, and for Berg abandoning his own visceral action aesthetic to become a third-rate Michael Bay knock-off. Furthermore, the film lost a whole bunch of money for Universal. Berg, after the fact, admitted that the film didn't work out, saying earlier this year, "It was a movie that I tried as hard as I could to get inside of. But the concept is so big and powerful, and the money is so big and so powerful, that the movie is going to run away with itself." And follow-up "Lone Survivor," currently filming with a good cast including Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster, Eric Bana and Emile Hirsch, will hopefully pick things up. It's a bona-fide passion project for the director, which Universal financed in exchange for him making "Battleship." But maybe it's time for Berg to leave the gung-ho militarism alone for a while and tackle something else? Disability drama "Fathers' Day" and the mooted "Friday Night Lights" TV series-derived movie both sound like they could be the antidote.

It isn't "Hollywood" and it isn't the agents. Roger Donaldson, a man always forgotten when good directors are mentioned could turn coal in to a diamond. We are our own saviors. Stop talking about the motion picture business as if it were anything else than another field of battle where personal responsibility is the rule. If these men failed, they â¦.ed up. BTW, in the reverse, would someone mind telling me why the Iraq bomb defuser movie won anything? Also, the comments on Spielberg are true for the most part, except that Lincoln is rather good. Pompously yours, MJS
ali | November 10, 2012 11:22 AM
I agree about M. Night Shyamalan. He needs a serious career change.
Spielberg should stop directing and just produce.
Mitchell | November 9, 2012 1:45 PM
Stephen Frears, M. Night Shyamalan, Rob Reiner, Lawrence Kasdan, Alex Proyas, Andrew Niccol and I think most would disagree but I wasn't a fan of "The Grey", so Joe Carnahan.
james | November 9, 2012 8:43 AM
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck... should fire his Hollywood agent. As should Gela Babluani, and all the other European directors who get sucked into the machine, and end up making a f*cking pudding that sinks their careers.
Aksel | November 9, 2012 6:44 AM
Spielberg.. Definetely Spielberg.. I'm still waiting to see an interesting movie from him.. His last good effort was Schindler's List.. Just because your name is Spielberg doesn't mean you can get a free pass for all the A.I's - War Horse's (ok, maybe "Catch me if you can" can be the exception)
Angela | November 9, 2012 1:39 AM
I agree with Spike Lee. I'd also add Jane Campion; personally, I thought The Piano was excellent, though it's definitely a movie that demands a particular taste, but since then, she really hasn't done a whole lont.

Shaft 2000 remake may be a linear action thriller. It sure gave us one of many great Jeffrey Wright performances. Also had Sam Jackson foul mouth mode. I wouldn't minded a sequel
Marko | November 8, 2012 4:18 PM
Just watch. One of these guys is going to wind up directing the new Star Wars film.
DJ | November 8, 2012 3:47 PM
Only reason Spike Lee isn't on here is because he continues to be prolific with his output; but that's his Catch-22: in his obsession to be 'culturally' relevant, his works have become tone deaf, uneven and in some cases, like Red Hook Summer, dreadful. But he still seems to tweet a lot to retain a good chunk of loyalty from fans, so maybe he's onto something.
And don't forget to add Kevin Smith, Hal Hartley, Jim Jarmusch (pick your decades old indie filmmaker) to the list.
Pedro | November 8, 2012 2:45 PM
This list ends up having really two certified talents, namely Mike Newell and Fernando Meirelles. Though "Blindness" had it's issues, it was a film that featured strong performances from Julianne Moore and Mark Rufallo (and it succeeded in building a very bleak portrait of humanity). Mike Newell's films though not achieving brilliance, have always been good showcases for the performers, even if sometimes they feel standard and uninspired ("Prince of Persia" being the more immediate case).
Rizzo | November 8, 2012 2:43 PM
I would go with Jim Sheridan who went from directing great tales like My Left Foot, The Boxer and In America, to making that 50 Cent biopic and Dream House. That should get anyone fired.

The University of Alabama has confirmed that four Crimson Tide football players have been arrested. Head football coach Nick Saban issued a statement saying the athletes are "indefinitely suspended".
"The University and football program have strict guidelines regarding issues of this magnitude," Saban said in a statement. "This behavior is unacceptable for any student-athlete at the University of Alabama and not representative of our football program."
On Monday the University of Alabama Police Department received reports of two robberies, the first occurring at approximately 12:35 a.m. in the 800 block of Campus Drive and the second at approximately 1:20 a.m. in the 200 block of 7th Avenue.
Both victims reported that they were assaulted and their belongings were taken. Court documents show the victims were knocked unconscious.
Here are the four student-athletes and their charges:
UAPD's investigation led to the identification of the four student-athletes, suspects in both incidents. Each was arrested and booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail. They have all since bonded out.
Calloway has admitted to using a stolen debit card and Williams and Hayes have confessed to the robberies.
"This is a very serious matter and we are very disappointed in the actions that have resulted in the charges against these student-athletes," said UA Director of Athletics Mal Moore. "In this type of situation, the Athletics Department works in conjunction with the University. We will have more to say at the appropriate time."
Williams, a 5-star freshman recruit, could be in the most trouble. This is the second arrest for Williams in a matter of days. Tuscaloosa police arrested him around 2:45 a.m. on February 10 following a disturbance call. Officers arrested Williams for carrying a pistol without a permit.
The incident occurred at a BP gas station on University Blvd. where a clerk called police to say someone had come into the store acting erratic and threatening that he had something in the trunk of his vehicle after a dispute about paying for gas. The clerk told police they'd called after the suspect and other occupants of their car left the store and started messing with something in the trunk of the vehicle.
Tuscaloosa police initiated a traffic stop a short time later on a red 2007 Honda Accord, of which Williams was a passenger. He was arrested after a pat down lead to the discovery of a pistol in his pants pocket that he did not have a permit to carry. He was held on a $500 bond.
It's likely that none of the four will ever play another game for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Paul Grayson warns Essex not to under-estimate Surrey
11:48am Saturday 19th April 2014 in Local Sport
ESSEX will be unchanged as they seek to make it back-to-back wins at the start of their County Championship campaign by beating Surrey at the Oval.
Paul Grayson's men beat Derbyshire by 53 runs last week while Surrey – relegated from division one last season – lost to Glamorgan.
The Essex coach admits a strong start to their four-day campaign is vital if they want to achieve their ambition of promotion into the country's top division.
But he has wanted his players not to under-estimate a Surrey side who will include England bowler Chris Tremlett in their side and who beat Essex in a friendly just three weeks ago.
Grayson said: "We've said so many times that we feel it is important to get off to a good start if we want to be promotion contenders.
"Surrey are a good side, I know they lost their first game against Glamorgan but they've got some good players and that's the reality of Division Two cricket. If anyone underestimates players or teams, you'll get caught out. So we'll be focusing on what we do well.
"We will be taking a lot of confidence into that game after our performance against Derbyshire but it's only one win and we'll not be getting carried away with that. There are still a few areas that we can improve upon but it's nice to get the season off to a good start."
Essex will again have England skipper Alastair Cook available to them, fresh off his big knock of 181 in the second innings against Derbyshire.
And Grayson wants Essex's other batsmen to follow Cook's lead and start putting big scores on the board.
"Cooky got our first century of the season; we've been talking about getting hundreds this year so hopefully that's the first of many from our players this year," said Grayson. "We showed against Derbyshire that we have plenty of variations in our attack which helps a lot. So there are good positive signs and were in good heart ahead of what will be a difficult game I'm sure."
The match against Surrey starts at 11am on Sunday.

The New U.S. Embassy in Berlin
The new U.S. Embassy in Berlin, seen from the northwest. Photo by Werner Huthmacher.
On July 4, 2008, among fireworks and several thousand invited celebrants, the new American Embassy in Berlin was officially opened. The day was misty, the rhetoric congratulatory, and the music by the U.S. Air Force jazz band lively. How can a country properly announce completion of a building that represents its presence in another land (and which, indeed, has special legal status as part of its own territorial domain)? And how does a host country properly acknowledge such a presence within its borders?
On this day, proclamations by former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and U.S. Ambassador William Temkin emphasized the historic importance of the embassy site. They noted its adjacency to the Brandenburg Gate and events that had taken place there, commented on the dedication to freedom the Gate symbolized, and stressed the nature of the cooperation the embassy's presence there signaled. Giant video screens displayed John F. Kennedy proclaiming "Ich bin ein Berliner"; veterans of the Berlin Airlift were honored; and the video screens showed Ronald Reagan uttering his famous challenge: "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate; Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."
When Reagan issued that challenge, some twenty years earlier from a stage in front of the Brandenburg Gate, the gate's base was obscured by the Berlin Wall. This most famous entry to the city, completed in 1791, had been isolated in 1961 by construction of the wall, and captured within a vacant "death zone" created by East Germany to prevent its citizens from escaping to the West. The choice of location for the new embassy seemed intended to emphasize the U.S. role in dispelling this era of disunity, discord, and oppression.
What may be less well known about the embassy site is that it was home to a previous American Embassy — though briefly. In 1932 the U.S. purchased a grandiloquent nineteenth-century palace there to house it. It was entered from the corner of Pariser Platz, a strictly formed and ceremonially important plaza just inside the gate, to the east, but its flank faced west across Ebertstrasse, bordering the great, wooded Tiergarten park. The building burned shortly afterwards, however, and following rebuilding, was open for only two years before being closed again by the gathering storm of World War II. During that conflict, the embassy, like most neighboring structures, was destroyed by Allied bombing.
Following the end of the Cold War, as the reunified Federal Republic of Germany moved its capital back to Berlin, the United States purchased back the property, which had remained empty.[1] At the same time, the German government set about building a new government center nearby, which now incorporates the long-abandoned, but historically important Reichstag building — transformed through the addition of a transparent dome.[2] Because the Brandenburg Gate is a celebrated emblem of reunification, the reconstruction of adjoining Pariser Platz became a priority for Berlin planners.

Fitted to Place
The embassy's architects, Moore Ruble Yudell, with Gruen Associates, have designed the new building to suit the significance of the site, skillfully fitting key program elements into forms that would become part of the place. The building has two important roles in this regard: join with neighboring buildings to restore a strict geometry for Pariser Platz; and create a suitable urban boundary to the west and south for the Tiergarten and for the recently completed Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe.[3]
Becoming an active and enlivening participant in achieving these larger urban goals was taken by the architects and the U.S. government to be of greater consequence than manifesting an independent formal identity.[4] In this spirit, the U.S. can be seen as continuing a stance first established under the postwar Marshall Plan: to foster revival and reconstruction of Germany's economy and urban structure.
Such goals were implicit within the program for a 1995 competition to select the building's architect. [5] They were also evident in the winning team's response, which proposed to make "careful connections to the proportions and geometries of surrounding landmarks and urban fabric while establishing new landmark elements which are harmonious parts of a new urban focus." Within the boundaries of the site, the architects have set out to create distinct spaces that clarify and give identity to various aspects of the place: ceremonial entry, formal diplomatic meeting space, a large internal garden, and an inviting informal entry for employees and consular functions.
Achieving these goals, however, proved more complicated than first imagined. The interpretation of planning guidelines for Pariser Platz was contentious, pitching noted German architects and planners into heated debate. There also was little precedent for a building whose entry would be enveloped within a formal civic space but visually isolated from its more prominent public sides. As both representation of a country and a secured, enjoyable place of work, an embassy's design is in any case demanding, and its funding subject to political pressures. Most daunting of all, however, was the imposition during design of new and more stringent security requirements following the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya (reinforced by the attacks of 9/11). The new security requirements at first threatened the whole project with relocation to a suburban site. Then, when U.S. officials attempted to negotiate a realignment of Ebertstrasse into the Tiergarten to increase its distance from the building, they strained rela- tions with local authorities.
In light of these newly increased security demands, the final project remains a remarkably intact embodiment of proposal that originally won the 1995 competition, especially with respect to its ability to elegantly complete an interior corner within Pariser Platz. Where it differs most may be along the Tiergarten promenade, where its face no longer aligns with its neighbors, but is set back behind a securely fenced garden.

Entering from the Square
Along Pariser Platz the embassy completes an urban figure formed by other buildings built earlier. It provides a stately (yes, stately) contribution to this whole, closing the southwest corner with a limestone wall textured with striations and subtle color change. The regular pace of window openings is interrupted just once, by a canopy that emerges from a full-height recess. The canopy is arced, with a spirited twist at its end — a form that suggests both conventional shelter and something special behind. Indeed, beyond the facade is a cylinder carved from the building and open to the sky, which lights a rotunda, covered by the glass panes of the canopy as they extend into the building. The cylinder also molds the sunlight as it passes through the break in wall to create a shifting shaft of light in the dominant shade along the south edge of Pariser Platz.
Visitors entering the glass doors below the canopy pass through an airlock under a vigorous, three-dimensional eagle ensconced in the national seal. Made of segments of stainless steel and assembled with brio, this emblem seems nearly playful (though, associations being variable, some might call it "bristling"). Visitors then move easily into a side foyer, where bags are checked and security screening takes place, before entering the rotunda. This brightly lit and powerfully shaped space is faced with the same limestone
as the Pariser Platz facade, but turned inward to form a ceremonial entry handsomely inscribed with the preamble to the constitution.
Referring to the focal rotundas of government buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the architects imagined this space as continuing the important Enlightenment traditions of clear shape and classical reference. These ideals, they argue, informed both the U.S. Founding Fathers and the Kingdom of Prussia, to which the U.S. sent John Quincy Adams as its first ambassador.[6] Whether or not visitors engage that full load of significance, this ample foyer does a great job of diverting attention from security-screening apparatus, which so frequently disfigures the entry to state buildings.
Urban Borders
If the embassy's design is clearly successful as it faces and completes the Pariser Platz, its effect along the Ebertstrasse, facing the Tiergarten, is harder to evaluate, because it will be supplemented by a canopy of trees along the public promenade and a parterre garden behind the bordering fence, neither of which has matured. Its lower floors here feature uneventfully spaced windows, and a line of frequently spaced high light fixtures adjoining the fence recalls, subtly, the originally intended building line.
The security fence here is presently dominant. It rises much higher than head height and bears the full weight of State Department anxiety. Made of thick metal stakes, rendered with patina and subtly twisted in a quietly varying pattern, it forms an undemanding green veil when seen from a distance. But seen in parallel, along the promenade, it is visually obtrusive and opaque, not unfairly seen as hostile, even though there are many fenced compounds elsewhere in the city.
Functionally, the embassy's south facade, along the Behrenstrasse, must provide a service entrance and sally port, as well as a secondary entrance for consular services and employees. On this side it fronts the Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a large, predominantly bleak, but intellectually provocative composition of dark slabs, which it faces impassively.
These extended public facades were conditioned by stringent rules regarding areas of glass. According to the architects, German daylighting requirements called for a minimum of 30 percent of walls to be glazed, while State Department security guidelines allowed a maximum of 30 percent and specified the largest allowable panes. The pattern eventually arrived at is an asymmetrical arrangement of panes within larger openings: the openings strike a beat of regularity while the panes provide a more detailed syncopation. Where they face south and west the windows are shaded by metal trellises, creating which create shifting stripes of shadow during the day.

Right: Mural by Sol LeWitt in the embassy's consular lobby. Photos by Werner Huthmacher.
Organizing Landmarks
At its upper levels, the west facade is more distinctive, notched to give greater play to the building's most prominent feature, a cylinder clad in grey-blue zinc that houses the embassy's principal conference room. This form, rising from a roof garden, is nearly the inverse of the hollow rotunda marking the entry. Similarly, it is meant to serve an iconic and ceremonial purpose. Within the more loosely arranged bureaucratic spaces of the building this conference room creates a landmark, and from outside on the west it registers this status well. Rising above the building's roofline, it quietly echoes the color of the great Quadriga sculpture that caps the Brandenburg Gate at a similar level.
Creation of this grand room was motivated by the wish to have an especially fine place for diplomatic lunches and negotiations, and it presents an aura of certainty. To the northwest, tall horizontally banded windows offer a broad view toward the Brandenberg Gate and the transparent dome of the Reichstag. The room is also capped by a circular lantern with rings of small lights, centered on an elegantly designed round table bearing an inscribed compass. It is given a sense of ease and comfort by the rich, planar cherry-wood walls that complete the chamber. Officially labeled the State Room, it has become known informally as the Quadriga Room for its stunning eye-level view of the sculpture atop the Brandenberg Gate. There is no doubt where you are.
The building carries on the fenestration pattern of its west facade here, set back from the bounding street, but with a few major openings. At the Southwest corner of the site at street level, the tall, glass-walled consular lobby is vigorously enlivened by two Sol LeWitt murals — striking optical star patterns that fill the back walls, prominently visible from across the street. This high, clear room, third in the series of figurative spaces within the building, is outside the most stringent security boundary and sometimes used for public receptions.
The fourth focal point of the building's composition is a large internal courtyard, with landscaping designed, like the roof garden and side garden parterres, by Olin Partnership. In many ways most important to the organization and daily life of the complex, this element provides outlook and light for most of its public passages and many of its offices. It is distinguished by two large Colorado stone wall masses, loci for seating and barbeques, while the space between is covered by a soaring steel trellis awaiting the growth of vines.
The center of the courtyard is a simple lawn, edged with seating areas. Clusters of trees planted next to the tall blank party wall of the adjoining bank building are species that can be found in the U.S., part of a general strategy for making this courtyard reminiscent of domestic American landscapes. It might seem a rather noble Midwestern back yard, but for two elements that mark its place and purpose: a graffiti-encrusted segment of the Berlin Wall tucked to one side and a central shimmering steel stele by the artist Ellsworth Kelly. The latter, like the LeWitt murals in the consular lobby, was commissioned by FAPE, the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies, the group also responsible for the many fine prints, drawings, and paintings displayed in the building.
Scope, Scale, and Site
Responding, as it does, to differing aspects of its site and vesting meaning in important internal points of interaction, this embassy offers neither universals, nor pyrotechnics. Rather, it posits an architecture that sets human measure to place.
The design parses the ways its differing parts may accommodate those who encounter them: a general public in some areas, visitors with focused purpose in others, regular inhabitants and visitors of state in others. Its walls form a respectful and spirited corner for Pariser Platz; they provide a quiet, measured edge where the city meets the green of the Tiergarten; and they offer a consistent background where the Monument to the Murdered
Jews of Europe tenders its message of painful remembrance.
There have been controversies surrounding this embassy project since its inception. Many were enthusiastic about the competition scheme, but some were not happy that it would take such a prominent position; others were concerned about the role it might play in Pariser Platz. Others have been ready to pounce on characteristics that might be forged into a critique of the U.S. itself.
There have also been those who would enter it into an arbitrary line-up of buildings by star architects — finding it wanting as a "strong statement." Certainly, the architect's role is to bring to the city a special form of imagining, furnishing its streets with works of interest. But it doesn't follow that those works should vie with each other, devoid of concern for how they take their place. In an urban setting like that of the Berlin embassy, there should always be concern for what a building contributes to its immediate context and how it aligns with traditions, plans and agreements that have been drawn up, teased out, or sometimes imposed by public officials.
Strength of will is a necessary attribute in getting a large building constructed with any integrity of thought. But this strength should be measured not only in eccentricity, bravado, or disavowal of responsibility for all but also architectural authority. Restraint can also be a measure of will, especially when informed, as here, by respect and imaginative support for the embodied thoughts and plans already in place.
Moore Ruble Yudell's design for the Berlin Embassy is a vigorous statement of engagement with a place, the complexities of its development, and a heritage of investment in the public realm. The building presents the U.S. as a spirited good neighbor, caring for its own interests, yet supporting the civic intentions of its host country.
1. Berlin had been the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia, Imperial Germany, the Weimar Republic, and the Third Reich.
2. This new symbol of open government, designed by Norman Foster, reveals visitors spiraling up to an outlook directly over the national Chamber of Deputies.
3. Designed by Peter Eisenman.
4. The official client for the building is the Office of Foreign Building Operations of the U.S. Department of State.
5. The embassy was also to offer "a statement to passers-by and visitors on the spirit of the United States."
6. Adams reportedly also took up residence in Pariser Platz.

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. – Students at both Shenendehowa High School and
Shaker High School will be remembering two students who were killed in a car
accident in December 2012.
Shaker students wore green, and Shenendehowa students wore blue on
Tuesday on the Day of Remembrance for the anniversary of the crash.
Some of the shirts read "Shaker-Shen United," remembering how
Shaker High School and Shenendehowa High School were both affected by the
Shenendehowa students Chris Stewart and Deanna Rivers, both 17,
were killed in an accident on the Northway on December 1, 2012. Matt Hardy and
Shaker High School student Bailey Wind were severely injured in the crash.
Police said the four students were leaving a sports game last December when a Volvo hit Stewart's car. Dennis Drue, 24, was held responsible for the accident, and he is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday morning.
Shaker High School Principal Richard Murphy said Tuesday "was
something that came from our kids through social media."
"As December 1st approached, we wanted to do something to honor
not only the families and students affected by this crash but also bring back
the sense of community," Shaker senior Audrey Jelstron explained.
Hall Principal and Anti-Bullying Coordinator at Shaker, Jan
Zadoorian believes the students are setting an example.
"It's a great teachable moment for kid and for us to work
through a process of how to organize and get support for these types of
community issues," said Zadoorian.
members of Shaker graduate Bailey Wind and the late Shenendehowa student Chris
Stewart joined other students for lunch Tuesday afternoon.
Students wore green and blue colors in 2012, a
few days following the crash and they are hoping to keep it a

Along the rivers edge workers and community members are making every effort to keep the water at bay.
Peoria's riverfront is quickly being submerged by the water and becoming quite the sight for area residents.
As onlookers admired the rising river, city workers continued to prepare for what's to come.
City of Peoria Street Manager, David Haste says although the wall will hold most of the water back, there will be some seepage through the sandbags, but they are ready for it.
Haste said, "Right now we're setting up pumps we have a larger pump and some smaller pumps getting set up and we'll pump the water out as it comes in. And don't think that there will be a lot of water coming in or anything that we can't maintain but we're being prepared for anything that might happen."
The sandbags line Water Street from Liberty to Harrison.
Restaurants like Hooters and Kelleher's are not flooded and open for business.
Owner of Kelleher's Pat Sullivan says his restaurant is nearly 8 feet higher than the River station but he's still doing what he can to help out the community.
Sullivan said, "We're helping our neighbors trying to keep them open and the city has been unbelievably proactive."
Even feeding the city workers while they were building up the sandbag wall.
Sullivan said, "We got some hot sandwiches and water for them. Everyone comes together during something like this."
Though there are fewer businesses across the river in East Peoria, about 40 volunteers got to work at the police department, making sandbags.
East Peoria's Building and Public Property director, Robert Cole said, "Just for the community if we need sandbags for the businesses or city properties. Incase residents may need assistance."
And as water keeps rising, efforts to keep communities safe will increase too.

The United Way of Cass and Clay Counties kicked off their 16th annual school supply drive just about three weeks ago. In that short time they've collected more than 4,000 backpacks and thousands of other supplies.
500 volunteers will fill those backpacks with the supplies, giving students a brand new backpack and set tools for the new year. Kristina Hien, with the United Way, says this has a huge impact students.
"We are so fortunate to live in a community that is generous and understands, that if we prepare a child for kindergarten for school they will be more successful in their life," said Hien.
Last year the school supply drive put a backpack full of supplies in the hands of 4,599 students. This year the United Way hopes to once again meet or exceed that number.
Any student, K-12, is eligible to receive a backpack and supplies. The United Way asks you to bring a form of ID and come to one of the distribution days at the Fargodome.

The Bodwell Center for Service and Volunteerism has added a new partner to our website. In an effort to serve the entire University of Maine community, the Bodwell Center is promoting the opportunity provided to retirees and seniors through the Foster Grandparent Program.
Maria Staples, Project Coordinator, for the Foster Grandparent Program provides this information:
The Foster Grandparent Program (FGP), which began in 1965, provides tutors and mentors to children and youth who are disadvantaged or have disabilities. Working one- on- one or in groups and serving between 15 and 40 hours a week, Foster Grandparents provide support in schools, Head Start centers, child care centers and other public and non-profit locations. . Foster Grandparents volunteer with children who are a few months old up to age twenty-one! Serving at one of thousands of local organizations Foster Grandparents help children learn to read, review school work, reinforce values, provide one- on- one tutoring and guide children at a critical time in their lives. Foster Grandparents share their love, time and experience; they are a role model, a mentor and a friend. Put simply, they give the kind of comfort and love that sets a child on the path toward a successful future.
Volunteers must be 55 years of age or older and meet income guidelines. Foster Grandparents receive a tax-free stipend, mileage reimbursement to and from the volunteer site, pre-service orientation, training and supplemental accident and liability insurance while on duty. The Penquis Foster Grandparent Program has approximately 80 Foster Grandparents serving at 63 different sites throughout its fourteen county service area.
Volunteering leads to new discoveries and new friends. Studies show that volunteering helps you live longer and promotes a positive outlook on life. This inter-generational program utilizes our only increasing natural resource—seniors—who are assisting our future resource–our children. For more information on the Penquis Foster Grandparent Program or to receive an application please call Maria Staples at 973-3611 or Cindy Whitney at 973-3684 or 1-800-215-4942.
