Latin American Folktales: Stories from Hispanic and Indian Traditions, edited by John Bierhorst
The wisdom and artistry of Latin America's storytellers preserve one of
the world's richest folktale traditions—combining the lore of medieval
Europe, the ancient Near East, and pre-Columbian America. Among the
essential characters are the quiet man's wife who knew the Devil's
secrets, the three daughters who robbed their father's grave, and the
wife in disguise who married her own husband—not to mention the Bear's
son, the tricksters Fox and Monkey, the two compadres, and the classic
rogue Pedro de Urdemalas. Gathered from twenty countries,
including the United States, the stories are brought together here in a
core collection of one hundred tales arranged in the form of a velorio,
or wake, the most frequent occasion for public storytelling. The tales
are preceded by a selection of early Colonial legends foreshadowing the
themes of Latino folklore and are followed by a carefully chosen group
of modern Indian myths that replay the basic stories in a contrasting
Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present by Max Boot
According to Publisher's Weekly this new book by Max Boot's is "A sweeping, well-written, and
comprehensively documented history of guerrilla war.... A compelling
narrative and perceptive analysis: a must read in today's world."
Beginning with the first insurgencies in the ancient world—when
Alexander the Great discovered that fleet nomads were harder to defeat
than massive conventional armies—Max Boot, best-selling author and
military adviser in Iraq and Afghanistan, masterfully guides us from the
Jewish rebellion against the Roman Empire up through the horrors of the
French-Indochina War and the shadowy, post-9/11 battlefields of today.
Tangled Roots: The Appalachian Trail and American Environmental Politics by Sarah Mittlefehldt
The Appalachian Trail, a thin ribbon of wilderness running through the
densely populated eastern United States, offers a refuge from modern
society and a place apart from human ideas and institutions. But as
environmental historian and thru-hiker Sarah Mittlefehldt argues, the
trail is also a conduit for community engagement and a model for
public-private cooperation and environmental stewardship.In
Tangled Roots, Mittlefehldt tells the story of the trail's creation. The
project was one of the first in which the National Park Service
attempted to create public wilderness space within heavily populated,
privately owned lands. Originally a regional grassroots endeavor, under
federal leadership the trail project retained unprecedented levels of
community involvement. As citizen volunteers came together and entered
into conversation with the National Parks Service, boundaries between
"local" and "nonlocal," "public" and "private," "amateur" and "expert"
frequently broke down. Today, as Mittlefehldt tells us, the Appalachian
Trail remains an unusual hybrid of public and private efforts and an
inspiring success story of environmental protection. Sarah Mittlefehldt is assistant professor of environmental studies at Green Mountain College.

Fungal Disease in Britain and the United States, 1850-2000: Mycoses and Modernity by Aya Homei and Michael Worboys
The grand narrative of twentieth-century medicine is the conquering of
acute infectious diseases and the rise in chronic, degenerative
diseases. The history of fungal infections does not fit this picture;
indeed, it runs against it - this book charts the path of fungal
infections from the mid nineteenth century to the dawn of the
twenty-first century, both in Britain and the United States. It examines
how fungal infections became more prevalent and serious over the
century, a rise that was linked to the increased incidence of chronic
diseases and to social, technological and medical 'progress'. In 1900,
conditions such as ringworm, athlete's foot and thrush were minor,
external and mostly chronic conditions – irritating, but mostly
self-limiting. In the subsequent decades, these infections remained very
common, but were better controlled by antifungal drugs.

Rooted in places like Watauga County, Goshen Creek, and Dismal Mountain, the poems in Ron Rash's fourth collection, Waking,
electrify dry counties and tobacco fields until they sparkle with the
rituals and traditions of Southerners in the stir of their lives.In
his first book of poetry in nearly a decade, Rash leads his readers on a
Southern odyssey, full of a terse wit and a sense of the narrative so
authentic it will dazzle you. As we wake inside these poems, we see
rivers wild with trout, lightning storms, and homemade churches, nailed
and leaning against the side of a Tennessee mountain.

a common thing at night. Most of the Appalachia are genuine old folks:
if they like you, they like you, and if they do not like you, it is
better to keep going on down the road. Once you get to know the
Appalachian folks, they would carry on until you have had a little of
their moonshine, showing off their handcrafted liquor still and telling
you it is a dying art. These folks are not your everyday bootleggers;
they just want to make them a little shine to keep on hand. It is the
responsibility of the buyer of this book to keep out of trouble if using
this information to build a moonshine still. (From the Publisher)

Corsham man molested two young girls
5:00pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in Corsham
A man, aged 57, from Corsham, who sexually assaulted two young girls more than a decade apart, has been jailed for three years and three months.
Antonio Ditoro molested one girl in Devizes in the mid-2000s. When her complaint came to light another told what had happened to her in the 1990s.
The father-of-five had denied all the charges, but a jury at Swindon Crown Court found him guilty. Robin Shellard, defending, said the offending was not the worst kind and came to an end well before police were called. Ditoro, of Yockney Close, must register as a sex offender for an indefinite period.
The first girl was about nine when abused. The second had been aged between seven and 11 when assaulted.

New Caston volleyball coach Taylor McFarland has a rebuilding project underway in Fulton.
The young coach has the great fortune of having an all-around standout in Haley Hoover to help lead the way in Year 1.
Hoover, a 5-foot-8 senior, does it all for the Comets as an outside hitter and defensive specialist.
The Comets are off to a 3-7 start to the season. They'll take a 1-0 Midwest Conference record into Saturday's home match against South Newton and will try to avenge a loss in Tri-County Invitational play to the Rebels.
"We started off kind of rough, but we're getting there, we're getting better," Hoover said. "We're working on teamwork, but I think we'll get there. It might take us awhile."
Hoover said she's enjoyed playing for her new coach.
"I like her a lot. She's pushed us a lot," she said. "I've learned a lot from her. I'm happy that she's came and coached at Caston."
Hoover added the future of the program is bright as long as the younger players work hard.
"I think the program will get better. It'll take some time and people have to work really hard. It'll take time to build it back up but we'll get there."
The following is a question-and-answer session with Hoover.
Q. Of the sports you play, which is your favorite? Why?
A. Volleyball obviously because it is a challenge for me. You have to be smart, quick and strong to play the game well and it's something you constantly have to work at. I also love that it is a team sport. You become so close to people on your team and share the same love for the game and I think that's awesome.

Coming off a rather monstrous year, it should come as little surprise that the Seattle Seahawks are in serious talks with running back Marshawn Lynch in an attempt to bring him back for a third season. They are so intent on bringing him back that General Manager John Schneider is apparently even considering placing the Franchise Tag on the 25-year-old.
#Seahawks GM John Schneider also said Lynch is a candidate to receive franchise tag should a deal not be reached.— Danny O'Neil (@dannyoneil) February 23, 2012
It's been quite a journey for Lynch, who was basically considered washed up at the ripe-old-age of 24 when he joined the Seahawks during last season after a trade from the Buffalo Bills. He scored six touchdowns in 12 regular-season games and then had a breakout performance against the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs.
This year, he took it to another level and even eclipsed his previous career-highs in rushing yards (1,204) and touchdowns (13). That was more rushing yards and touchdowns than he'd had in the previous two seasons combined.
For more on Lynch's contract situation, be sure to check out Seahawks blog Field Gulls.

David Flores has ridden many top Thoroughbreds in a career spanning more than a quarter century. Whether Turbulent Descent will be one of the ones remains to be seen, but the facts are these: She is unbeaten in three starts, all over Hollywood Park's synthetic Cushion Track, has been favored in each one, and is the 4-5 morning line choice when she makes her 3-year-old debut in the Grade I, $250,000 Las Virgenes Stakes at one mile on Saturday.
"She's just push-button," said Flores, who celebrates his 43rd birthday tomorrow. "She relaxes, she doesn't rush, she jumps good out of the gate and I can pretty much place her anywhere I want. Whatever you want her to do, she does it very easily."
Turbulent Descent, a Florida-bred daughter of Congrats trained by Mike Puype, has been working sharply for the Las Virgenes since winning the Grade I Hollywood Starlet in her last start, on Dec. 11.
"I've worked her every time," Flores said, including a bullet :59 1/5, breezing, at Hollywood on Jan. 30. "So far, she's shown enough talent to win in easy fashion each time. I hope she keeps showing that, and I think she will with more experience. It should be just a matter of time."
Added Puype: "She's coming along good. Everything's ready to go, so we'll see what we can do. It looks like a good spot, on paper at least. There's a lot of speed, and she's a good filly. The only thing we don't know about is the dirt. She hasn't run on the dirt, but we'll find out tomorrow."
Bob Baffert, meanwhile, is committed to May Day Rose being on the lead. "It's a tough spot because she's one dimensional," the trainer said of the front-running winner of the Grade III Santa Ysabel Stakes. "She's got to just go. She's going to get the lead at all costs."
The field for the Las Virgenes, Saturday's fourth race: Plum Pretty, Martin Garcia, 8-1; Tiz the Route, Brice Blanc, 20-1; California Nectar, Patrick Valenzuela, 4-1; May Day Rose, Rafael Bejarano, 9-2; Turbulent Descent, David Flores, 4-5; and Zazu, Joel Rosario, 9-2. Bluegrass Chatter was scratched.
Alexis Barba is inclined to draw a line through Make Music for Me's last race. That would be the Grade II San Fernando Stakes on Jan. 15, when the son of Bernstein finished seventh of eight on a speed-favoring track. The 58-year-old trainer is hoping for a surface more to the Kentucky-bred's liking when he runs in Saturday's Grade II Strub Stakes for 4-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles.
"He had no shot (in the San Fernando)," Barba said. "That's how I see it. How can you go (a half-mile) in :47 and make up any ground? He only got beat six lengths and he was wide the whole way. (The actual half-mile split was 46.80).
"It seems like there's more speed in the Strub, at least that's what we're looking at. There's a little more speed and the track's been a little bit more fair (to closers) lately."
Chantal Sutherland rides Make Music for Me for the first time in a race Saturday. "She worked him the other day and they went very well," Barba said.
The field for the Strub, which goes as the ninth of 10 races Saturday: Honour the Deputy, Garrett Gomez, 8-1; Indian Firewater, Mike Smith, 6-1; Twirling Candy, Joel Rosario, 1-1; Tweebster, Rafael Bejarano, 5-1; Paris Vegas, Brice Blanc, 20-1; Make Music for Me, Chantal Sutherland, 10-1; Do It All, Patrick Valenzuela, 8-1; and Oilisblackgold, Victor Espinoza, 8-1. Each is assigned 118 pounds except Indian Firewater and Twirling Candy, who have 123 each.
Saturday's hunch play: Victor Espinoza on Victor's Cry. The two already teamed up for a victory in the Grade II Citation Handicap at Hollywood Park last Nov. 27, when they rallied from next-to-last in a field of 10 to capture the mile and one-sixteenth turf race by nearly two lengths at odds of 11-1 for trainer Eoin Harty.
Saturday's objective is the Grade III Thunder Road Handicap at one mile on turf.
"He ran big that day," Espinoza said of the Citation. "I had never ridden him before. That was my first time. Eoin just told me to be patient and make one run and that's just what happened. I hear he's been training well and coming up to this race in good shape. I haven't worked him. I just ride him. I save my energy for the race."
The field for the Thunder Road: Blue Chagall, Garrett Gomez, 8-1; Fluke, Joe Talamo, 7-2; Dakota Phone, Joel Rosario, 8-1; Proudinsky, Patrick Valenzuela, 7-2; Meteore, Alonso Quinonez, 10-1; Jazzman's Dance, Kayla Stra, 50-1; Skyrush, Martin Pedroza, 20-1; Colgan's Chip, Brice Blanc, 7-2; and Victor's Cry, Espinoza, 3-1.
Streaking Aggie Engineer goes after his fourth straight win in Sunday's Grade II, $150,000 San Antonio Stakes, a major steppingstone to the Grade I, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 5.
"He seems good," trainer Paddy Gallagher said of the gelded son of E Dubai, who won the Grade II San Pasqual Stakes impressively last out on Jan. 8.
"He worked good since the San Pasqual," Gallagher continued. "If he's doing as well as he was before the San Pasqual, that would be nice. I don't know how the pace scenario will set up, but the horse is doing fine."
The field for the San Antonio, the sixth race on an eight-race Super Bowl Sunday card that starts at 11 a.m.: Gladding, Rafael Bejarano; Big Shot Syd, Alonso Quinonez; Dakota Phone, Corey Nakatani; Quindici Man, Patrick Valenzuela; Pode Ir, David Flores; Spurrier, Joel Rosario; and Aggie Engineer, Joe Talamo.
First post time for Super Bowl Sunday's eight-race program is 11 a.m. Gates open at 9:30 a.m. There will be no Early Bird wagering on "Big Game" Sunday. The main track will close at 8:30 a.m. Sunday and there will be no schooling in the paddock.
Rafael Bejarano has regained the mount on 2010 three-year-old filly champion Blind Luck for the Grade II La Caňada Stakes on Feb. 13, and beyond, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said Friday morning after Santa Anita's leading jockey worked the Eclipse Award winner five furlongs in :59.80. "Down the line, we don't want to get into a switch with Switch," Hollendorfer said, pun intended, referring to La Brea and Santa Monica Stakes winner Switch, whose regular rider is Joel Rosario.
Rosario had ridden Blind Luck in her last five starts, the most recent being a second-place finish in the Grade II El Encino Stakes on Jan. 16. Blind luck was beaten 3 ½ lengths as the 3-5 favorite. Bejarano rode Blind Luck in six straight races, winning four, before Rosario took over in the Delaware Oaks last July 10, a race she won by a nose as the 1-5 favorite.
In all, Rosario had two wins and three seconds aboard the chestnut daughter of Pollard's Vision.
Santa Anita's popular Champions! Gift Shop will be busier than usual on Saturday. For those who can't get enough of Vox Populi (Secretariat/Zenyatta), here's what's happening tomorrow:
From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Penny Chenery, Jerry Moss, John Shirreffs and Mike Smith will autograph a special poster, Racing's Royalty, featuring a portrait of both Secretariat and Zenyatta. Each poster sells for $40, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Secretariat Fund.
The autograph session is expected to last about one hour, so fans are advised to line up early and asked not to bring any outside memorabilia. It will take place in the event tent across from Champions! The print can be purchased at the event.
From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Kate Tweedy (Penny Chenery's daughter) will autograph her book, "Secretariat's Meadow." Books are available at Champions!
All day Saturday, jewelry designer Jane Heart will present her Secretariat jewelry at Champions! A portion of her sales also goes to support the Secretariat Fund.
FINISH LINES: Bob Baffert reports that Triple Crown hopeful The Factor is back on the track after missing three days with a foot bruise. "He had a little setback," Santa Anita's leading trainer said of the 3-year-old who set a track record of 1:06.98 for six furlongs on Dec. 26. Baffert said the San Vicente Stakes at seven furlongs on Feb. 20 was still a possibility for the son of War Front . . . Brice Blanc took off his scheduled two mounts Friday after escaping serious injury in a mishap turning for home in Thursday's second race aboard 3-2 favorite All Star Heart, who slipped on the grass while making what could have been a winning move. "He was a little stiff, and we didn't want to risk it today," said Blanc's agent, Mike Ciani . . . Corey Nakatani will be at Gulfstream Park Saturday to ride Square Eddie for Doug O'Neill in the Donn Handicap. . . John Shirreffs said Robert J. Frankel Stakes runner-up Harmonious is scheduled to work Sunday, after which a decision will be made on whether she changes surfaces and runs in the Feb. 13 La Caňada Stakes on dirt . . . 2009 Malibu Stakes winner M One Rifle worked six furlongs Friday in a bullet 1:11 for Bruce Headley. "He'll probably run in the Potrero Grande," the trainer said. "I'd be going for my seventh win in that race." The Grade II handicap for older horses at 6 ½ furlongs on the main track will be run April 3 . . .Trainer Bill Spawr reports that Amazombie, 11-1 winner of the Sunshine Millions Sprint on dirt, will be nominated to the $100,000 Sensational Star Handicap for Cal-breds at about 6 ½ furlongs on turf Feb. 27…Spawr scored in Thursday's seventh race with Sammartino, a half-brother to Spawr's multiple stakes winning sprinter, Bordonaro. . . .Jim Cassidy is pointing Sunshine Millions Turf runner-up The Usual Q.T. to the Grade I Kilroe Mile on turf March 5, "but we've also been invited to Dubai," the trainer added, referring to the $2 million Duty Free at 1 1/8 miles on grass March 27 . . .

Tyler Sondelski is a three-sport athlete. From soccer in the fall to pole vaulting in the spring and basketball in between.
Our Athlete of the Week isn't as tall as his coach says he is. But in some ways, his performance reaches new heights.
"I know we have him listed on the program as 5' 8"," Mosinee's head coach Andy Bruess said. "He gets mad at me because he says 'Coach, I'm only 5'-5" and I tell him, 'no one is smaller than 5' 8" in our program.'"
Tyler Sondelski may not be the tallest guy on the Mosinee basketball team. But what he lacks in height, he makes up in power.
"I like to go in and just get the job done I guess," Sondelski said.
The Indians' senior also pole vaults and plays soccer. Both sports have molded him into a unique athlete.
"You can see a ton of his soccer in his basketball," Bruess said. "His feet are great. He's an explosive player even though he's 5-5, he plays like he's 6-2 because he gets off the ground so fast and gets his hands up."
"I can jump a lot, that helps for pole vaulting too," Sondelski said. "A lot of people think being short, I'm probably not a good basketball player. I like to try and be my best and do what I can."
His best landed him on this week's Top Five plays on Newsline 9.
"My grandma called and told me to watch," Sondelski said. "I didn't even know there was top five plays then I kinda watched, I was looking online, couldn't find it. I watched the news and there it was. That's pretty awesome."
Tyler Sondelski, from Top Plays to Newsline 9's Athlete of the Week.

2003 Vol. 47, Number 2
Decisions you make when you buy something—whether you are a student
with a small allowance or the latest winner of a big lottery—are a major
force in creating new jobs.
What do you want to do this weekend? Go to the movies or go out to dinner? Buy a new book or a new computer? Or are your funds running low? If so, will you watch TV or surf the 'Net?
More depends on how you answer these questions than you might think. For you, the answers might mean no more than a way to spend a couple of hours with your friends. But for the U.S. economy, no questions are more important. The way you spend your money—consumer
spending—determines what goods are produced, what services are performed, and, ultimately, what kinds of jobs people do.

Where The Jobs Are Added
Saturday, May 4, 2013 - 8:03 AM
Employers added 165,000 jobs in April, but they were all from service providers, not goods producers. Many of the jobs added in April come in low-wage sectors, where some people hold two or more jobs.

Dear 51hh,
Indeed ... And for those 165k of
our fellow Americans
who got these jobs, I guess the factor of low-wage or high-wage would be a secondary consideration (if at all). Primary consideration for them I believe will be between
. This not only looks good on paper, but also for those 165k Americans it will look good in their accounts, when they encash their first pay-check! :-)
Congratulations to those got these jobs, and thanks to our FOMC for helping those Americans who are in grave need. Hoping that FOMC will keep doing what they are doing to bring the unemployment down, exactly as they are mandated to do by law.
Yours Truly,

Re: 51hh@ 1. Saturday, May 4, 2013 - 9:14 AM
Agreed. More fodder for politicians. Nothing to look at since neither the Fed, the Administration nor Congress has done anything meaningful to facilitate more meaningful hiring at middle-class wages. The service industry is hiring because their workforce is highly temporary and age dependent. One can't lift cases of beer in the convenience store after a certain age. Job creation has been localized in nature. The two areas that are hiring people at good pay are Silicon Valley in California and the oil shale fracking regions of North Dakota and Texas. Of course, those jobs are highly specialized or very labor intensive.

Battle for Benfleet green belt set to get underway
7:10am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in News By Jacqueline McMillan
BATTLE lines are set to be drawn over green belt in Benfleet as Castle Point Council gets ready to defend the land on appeal.
Controversial plans to build 165 homes on fields between Sadlers Farm roundabout and Glebelands were thrown out in April.
Now, developer Fox Land and Property will be going head to head with the council to try and convince the Government's Planning Inspectorate to allow the site to be built on.
Planning Inspectorate John Felgate, who will be hearing the proceedings, has currently set aside seven days to hear all the evidence for the appeal which will begin next week.
It is the first time a planning application for the site has been bought to appeal for around 30 years.
Steve Rogers, head of regeneration and chief planning officer at the council, said: "The appeal is scheduled to last seven days at the moment. However these things are, by their nature, evolutionary and it could be concluded more quickly if the Inspector has heard all the evidence.
"The council will go first and say why the planning permission was refused, and our evidence will be tested by the appellant. They will go next and say why the plans should be allowed and we will then test their evidence. After that the inspector will then ask if anyone else would like to voice their opinions. This is just my guess, but I would expect a decision could be made by around Easter.
"Appeals are quite a common part of the planning system, but for this particular site we have not seen an appeal for some ten years."
This comes after the Echo revealed Fox Land and Property is looking to exploit a legal loophole in which they claim the council has failed to officially define green belt land in its planning blueprint, sparking fears over a building free-for-all on the borough's green spaces.
Steve Guest, co-founder of the Glebelands and Sadlers Green Belt campaign group, who will be speaking at the inquiry, said: "We're quietly confident this will not go ahead. It is worrying the decision is now in Government hands, but while they encourage development, the Government has been consistent with its rules not to allow building on green belt.
"Building at Glebelands would leave no border between Basildon and Castle Point, you wouldn't be able to tell one from the other. It's an inappropriate place to develop, right near a busy six-lane carriageway and this land should be protected.
"But if the company are trying to find loopholes then that suggests to us they are on the back foot."
The appeal proceedings will begin at 10am on December 11 and will take place at the council offices in Kiln Road, Thundersley.

I used to live in Sadlers and the road at the end of Glebelands just ended and it was obvious even then it was left open for future developments.
My house used to back on to that field and I have to say that was as close as I would like to be to the A130, and that was when it was quieter.
Glad we moved :)

Norwich - Two men were arrested Friday after police said they found several animals living in an apartment in deplorable conditions.
Timothy Park, 23, of 66 Baltic St., 2nd floor, was charged with three counts of cruelty to animals and three counts of failure to vaccinate.
John S. Uzialko Jr. , 21, also of 66 Baltic St., 2nd floor, was charged with one count of cruelty to animals.
Lt. Albert Costa said the Animal Control Office on Friday received an anonymous complaint of animals being kept in deplorable conditions at the Baltic Street apartment.
Animal Control Officer Michele Kellough investigated and found the residence to be filthy and in disarray, Costa said. A dog was found locked in a bedroom and was covered with feces and three cats were found locked in a bathroom in similar condition. Officials from Uncas Health were notified and responded.
The animals were seized and are being held in protective custody at the Norwich Police Department dog pound.
Both men are scheduled to be arraigned in Norwich Superior Court on May 23.

West Bromwich Albion got a late goal from Matej Vydra to level the match with Hull City and the Baggies would hang on to grab a point in a 1-1 final.
Given the overall disaster that was Manchester United's opening match, it's hard to get a strong sense of how good Herrera can be in reality or in fantasy this season.
Despite a rotten showing from his team, Phil Jones managed to score well for fantasy managers without the benefit of a clean sheet, goal or assist.
Jack Wilshere rose above his history as a mediocre fantasy player to score well in the Yahoo format in Arsenal's season debut.
Alexis Sanchez's competitive debut for Arsenal was a mixed bag depending on whether you are looking at it in the short term or long term.
Hull City left back Andrew Robertson continued his rocket ride up from the Scottish third division with a great fantasy debut in Week 1.
We didn't get much of a chance to judge Tom Ince in his brief Premier League cameo last season but this season started off very strong for the Son-of-Paul.
Steve Bruce has confirmed that new signing Robert Snodgrass is set to miss at least six months after a scan revealed the midfielder dislocated his knee and damaged ligaments during the win over QPR.
La Gazetta dello Sport is reporting that Arsenal have beaten Juventus and Roma to the signing of Greek international center back Kostas Manolas.
After a protracted transfer saga Argentine international defender Marcos Rojo has joined Manchester United with Nani going the other way to join Sporting Lisbon.
Marouane Fellaini joins Manchester United's ever growing list of injured players as the Belgium midfielder is spotted leaving Bridgewater Hospital in the North West of England on crutches with his foot in a protective cast.
Aston Villa's Charles N'Zogbia was fairly average in his first match of the season but his fantasy upside remains high.

CATEGORIES MoviesEarlier this week, film critic Marshall Fine did something very common for a man of his profession: he wrote a negative review. Unfortunately, Fine wrote a negative review about "The Dark Knight Rises," easily the most anticipated movie of the summer -- and then the storm came.
The Hollywood and Fine helmer posted the first -- and for a number of days, only -- negative review about Christopher Nolan's finale on Rotten Tomatoes. The piece struck a nerve with fans and, in just six hours, received a whopping 460 comments on the movie site, some of which even called for the critic's death.
Many Batman supporters quoted "TDKR" to get their sentiment across, saying that his "punishment must be more severe" or that they haven't given him "permission to die" yet. Other remarks could not be found in the script and were far more serious. One user expressed his desire for Fine to "die in a fire." Another ruminated on beating the critic "with a thick rubber hose into a coma."
So what did Fine include in the review? According to him, "There is very little about 'The Dark Knight Rises' that will make you tense, hold you in suspense or cause your adrenaline to squirt. At times, the action is so massive and thunderously clunky that I might as well have been watching one of the "Transformers" movies."
After the numerous threats that popped up on the site, Rotten Tomatoes tweeted a response to its followers, warning that users who post inappropriate comments will result in being banned from their site.
Re Dark Knight Rises - Comments that violate our TOS (i.e. threats) will get you banned from the site.- Rotten Tomatoes (@RottenTomatoes) July 16, 2012
UPDATE: Rotten Tomatoes has banned commenting on "Dark Knight Rises" reviews. As RT editor Matt Atchity explained in a letter on the site, "Marshall has the right to not like the movie, and people have the right to express their disagreement with him (although if you haven't seen the movie, your arguments may be on shaky ground). And we have the right to pull your comment down and ban you if we think you're acting inappropriately."
UPDATE 2: At the film's London premiere, director Christopher Nolan defended the heated fan response, stating "I think the fans are very passionate about these characters the way a lot of people are very passionate. Batman's been around for over 70 years and there's a reason for that. He has a huge appeal, so I think you know people certainly respond to the character."

Rollins College on Friday held a mini marathon, in honor of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
The race spanned 2.6 miles around the campus. All the money raised from the event will help pay medical bills for family members of the dean of the Rollins College Chapel, Pat Powers. His sister, brother-in-law, and nephew were all injured in Monday's blast at the finish line.
"My brother-in-law, Bill, suffered the most. He had to have part of his right leg amputated," Powers told the crowd. "My family Bill, Mary Jo and Kevin are running with you. The legs of all those hurt in Boston are also running on your legs."
Powers said his brother-in-law is one of many Boston Marathon victims visited by President Barack Obama earlier this week at Massachusetts General Hospital.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Illinois Supreme Court decided on Thursday to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995.
The law requires doctors to inform the parents or guardians 48 hours before an abortion was performed on a minor except in cases of a medical emergency, sexual abuse, neglect or physical abuse.
The decision clears the way for the state to enforce the law following a lengthy legal battle.
Illinois lawmakers passed the law in 1995, but it never took effect.
Planned Parenthood officials expressed their disappointment in the decision in a statement released Thursday.
"Planned Parenthood agrees that in an ideal world, parents would be involved in their teens' health care and engaged in healthy dialogue around responsible decision making...but in some cases, safe and open communication is not possible," said Carole Brite, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Illinois."In those cases, research shows mandatory parental notice laws do not enhance parent-teen communication. Rather, they can be harmful to teens' health and well-being."

Results were released this week on New York State math and reading tests for grades 3 to 8.
Fewer than 30 percent of public school children passed the exams last year.
The drop is significant. It follows the implementation of higher standards known as the Common Core which most states now use.
60 percent of students in those grades passed the math exam in 2011 and 47 percent passed in reading.
"The Common Core is a set of standards developed by a group of outstanding educators based in Washington with a lot of direction from all 50 states," said NYS Board of Regents Chancellor Merry Tisch.
Student growth on the tests is also now a universal factor in teacher and principal evaluations that New York requires from each of its 700 districts.
The results are angering some parents concerned about their child's chances of being accepted to the high schools and colleges of their choice.
"The issue is it's a process. In the next 4-5 years, you'll see an enormous focus on preparing teachers to teach to the higher standadrs. To back away from the truth, to allow our students to not be able to compete in a 21st century economy is the wrong thing to do," said Tisch.
"In NYC, we started the process three years ago. For this coming year, we've added another $100M on professional development. Our teachers have done an enormous job in incorporating the new teaching style. It's not teaching to the test it's having the students understand the concepts," said NYC Schools Cancellor Dennis Walcott.

add_sortable_classes not having any effect
27 February 2010 at 3:52pm
Hi Guys
I'm upgrading one of my client sites from 2.3.2 to 2.3.6 and while I have sortable classes declared in my _config.php, the ManyManyDataObjectManagers that I have in the CMS no longer display "Allow drag & drop reordering" checkbox in the bottom left, rather just a "Show related records" checkbox instead.
I can see in the template a check for <% if Sortable %> but it appears to not eval to true - hence my missing checkbox.
This was one of the issues I was also having with implementing DOM in a 2.4b site, which until now I had written off to 2.4 incompatibility. For this site though it has been a straight upgrade from 2.3.2 to 2.3.6, I've not changed a line of any of my code.
I've given the forums a good once/twice over but couldn't find threads dealing with a similar issue. Please help!
FYI the snippet from _config.php looks like this:
Re: add_sortable_classes not having any effect
27 February 2010 at 5:21pm
Ah. Bugger. I just realised I did upgrade DOM too. The download of DOM I'm having this issue with is the current download on the modules page, r374.
Re: add_sortable_classes not having any effect
27 February 2010 at 5:59pm
The demo site http://dataobjectmanager.carlinowebdesign.com is always running the latest DOM on the latest version of SS. I'm not seeing the issue there.
Re: add_sortable_classes not having any effect
27 February 2010 at 6:13pm
Should the 'New MMFDOMTest', 'Random' or 'Glossary' pages ManyManyDOMs have sorting? If so, they're not showing, for me at least, I can attach sshots.. If not, would you mind adding one of them to the sortable classes? I can see it working on the Image Gallery though.
Re: add_sortable_classes not having any effect
28 February 2010 at 3:03am
Oh, I hadn't noticed you were using an MMDOM. The many_many sorting will not be available until 2.4. It worked in 2.3.3, but then changes to Object.php broke it. See ticket here:
Re: add_sortable_classes not having any effect
1 March 2010 at 4:57pm
Ah - righteo then. Thanks for getting back to me UC. Looks like I'm really looking forward to / hanging out for 2.4 and it's associated DOM update!!

Any news about the fix for this bug?
I think I'm experiencing the same problem with ss2.4rc1 and the trunk version of DOM.
With the older ss (2.3.5) and DOM, I was able to use simple add_sortable_class in order to allow a user to drag&drop with ManyManyDataObjectManager. Now as I see, there's a new feature add_sortable_many_many_relation which works fine, but it's not what I need. With add_sortable_class I was able to make one sorting order for my DataObject items, referenced in all Pages allowing to select from those items (sorry for the lack of terminology but I'm still not used to SS names).
Sorting with drag&drop was quite useful feature, now my users have to manually set up SortOrder for each item...
Re: add_sortable_classes not having any effect
15 April 2010 at 12:51pm
I'm not aware of this bug. You're saying standard (non-many_many) sortable objects are not sorting? Does the drag and drop appear and does it work? Or is it just not updating the record in the database?

Subject Tutors
During the fall and spring semesters, The Learning Center is a popular meeting place for the tutors of various science and foreign language courses. If you would like to inquire about the availability of such tutors, ask your course instructor or come into The Learning Center to browse the current subject tutor schedules.
Getting the Most Out of a Tutor Session
If you are struggling with your coursework or simply want to have a better grasp on the material, we encourage you to use our tutoring services, and while we will never turn you away, there are a few things you can do to get the most out of a tutoring session.
Have Specific Questions:
Tutoring is not the same as teaching. A good tutoring session, which generally takes 5-20 minutes, will be focused entirely on one concept. Asking specific questions allows your tutor to identify what you are struggling with and tailor an explanation to help you understand it.
Attempt the Assignment Before You Ask For Help:
If you are overwhelmed by an assignment, don't hesitate to ask for help. However, you will get more out of a tutoring session if you have attempted the work ahead of time.
Practice is the only way to master any concept or skill. A combination of practice, self study, and tutoring should allow you to master any subject you are struggling with.
Be a Tutor:
Once you think you understand a concept, see if you can help some of your classmates or friends with their work. Tutoring someone will show you what you do and do not understand about a subject, and participating in study groups or helping your friends with their homework is one of the best ways to learn.
The Writing Center
The Writing Center is the part of the Learning Center that oversees our English tutors. It operates out of Egan Room 105, just down the hall from the main Learning Center Room.
Who we are
We are upper-division writing students and faculty who have been specially trained to work with you on your writing and to help you become a better writer. We are genuinely interested in what you have to say, and we are known to be attentive, supportive, and helpful.
What we do
We discuss your writing with you. After all, we think that's what writers need most--readers who are interested in their writing and who want to respond to it. Thus, we hope you will visit us often--with anything from your biology paper to the poem you wrote last night. While we do not claim that we will always be able to respond to the content of a discipline-specific paper, we can certainly be of help with other aspects of it. Give us a try! You are also welcome to come see us if you're working on a scholarship application letter, a BLA portfolio, or a story of your own. Bring us your questions, concerns, or a request for feedback.
What We Don't Do
- We do not write, revise, or "fix" papers. We do not proofread (instead, we work with you on editing your papers if you so wish).
- We do not spend unlimited time with one student.
- We do not work on every aspect of a paper in one sitting.
- We do not estimate grades.
Signing Up for a Writing Tutor is Easy
- If you are in the neighborhood (Room 105 Egan Library), drop in and sign up. The sign up notebook will be on a table as you enter. Simply write your name in the most convenient time slot and be sure to be there in time for your tutoring session.
- We generally start tutoring at 2:00pm and have tutors available until 7:00pm or later. It is advisable to schedule a writing tutor in advance.
- If you can't drop in and sign up, call (796-6187).
- Hopefully your scheduled writing appointment will work nicely. Remember, though, if you are ten minutes late, your appointment may be given to another student. When things don't go as expected, be sure to call to cancel the appointment (796-6187).
What to Bring
- Bring the latest draft of the paper you want to discuss.
- Bring earlier drafts if you'd like us to look at the changes you've made.
- Bring the assignment handout from your instructor to help us understand the requirements for your assignment better.
- Bring questions you have for us, or be ready to let us know what kind of feedback you are hoping to get.
And most of all, remember: There isn't much we can do for you if your paper is due in an hour! To get the most out of your appointment, please make it well ahead of your deadline. Hope to see you soon!
Distance Tutoring
We also offer distance writing tutoring for students who are ill, not in Juneau, or have childcare problems.
- Call the Writing Center (796-6187) and set up an appointment.
- E-mail us a copy of your essay and as much information about the assignment as possible, including instructions, problems, and concerns. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Call the Writing Center at your scheduled time and be sure you have a copy of the essay in front of you.
- The writing tutor will conference with you as if you are at a typical appointment.
- We do not go over essays and send them back to students. The student must be present either physically or by phone to be tutored.
Who are the Math Tutors?
We are primarily students like yourself with a little more experience in math. Some of us started with Math 054 or 055 and slowly made our way to calculus, so we know what you are going through. If you prefer working with an "expert," we have Educational Technicians who have already acquired their degrees in math or sciences.
Math tutoring is available during all of our regular operating hours. Student math tutors wear orange vests so you can identify them, and our professional staff have offices in the Learning Center. Just raise your hand or ask us directly for assistance. We are all happy to help.
Why go to the LC for math help?
If you are having trouble understanding what is going on in your math class or cannot finish your homework, you can come for help. Helping students in distress is indeed one of our main functions, yet it would be wrong to think that having "trouble" is the only reason to come see us. Students come for everything from a little moral support to sharing insights to discussing the nature of mathematics.
What are the Tutors likely to do for you?
We will try to make the math you are doing more comprehensible. This might include working on problems with you, explaining a concept, or simply letting you know you are on the right track. A simple statement of our philosophy might be that we help you help yourself. Yes, we know how trite that sounds, but it does underscore the idea that we are a resource to aid in your understanding, not a substitute for understanding.
Will I pass my math class if I come to the Learning Center?
Coming to the Learning Center will almost certainly increase your understanding of math, which is directly related to passing the course. But that alone will not get you through--attending lectures, doing your homework, and passing exams are important too. The more you do to try and better understand the mathematics you are learning, the better you will do in your math courses.
Math Review Tips
- Buy the textbook. Too many people think that they can just borrow their book from other students, use the one in the Learning Center, or just do the class without it. There is no review tool which equals the textbook.
- Ask specific questions. While doing homework, identify specific areas in which you're having difficulties. This can be crucial when trying to figure out what to study. It also can be extremely helpful when getting help from a tutor or professor.
- Utilize the Learning Center. The Learning Center can be a great way to review or get help on the problems that you're having. With tutors and staff that are available to help you, you have many people that are willing to help you accomplish your goal.
- Attend all classes. If you're not spending time in classes, you're most likely not learning very much. Math textbooks are hard to just sit down and study from scratch, and class periods can give you a great feel for the material as well as answer questions you have.
- Read the appropriate section before class. With a bit of preparation, class time can make much more sense with a bit of background in the topic before the professor talks about it.
Online Tutoring
Part of our commitment to helping students succeed at UAS is providing students with resources they can access while away from school. Struggling with a problem but don't have the time or ability to visit campus? Visit tutor.com via the Statewide Library Electronic Doorwayon the web. A grant from the Alaska State Library provides Alaskan students with free access to live one-on-one online help with assignments, papers and exam preparation in math, science, social studies and writing every day from 1 pm until 12 am.

Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city
Production: DJ Dahi, Hit-Boy, Just Blaze, Like, Pharrell Williams, Scoop Deville, Skhye Hutch, Sounwave, T-Minus, Tabu, Terrace Martin, Tha Bizness
Lead Single: The Recipe
Avg Rating: 4.8 ( 77 total votes )
After the heralded successes of Overly Dedicated and #Section 80, TDE representer and Dr. Dre protégé Kendrick Lamar will make his Interscope/Aftermath major label debut with the release of good kid, m.A.A.d city. Previously-releases singles "The Recipe," "Swimming Pools (Drank)" and "Compton" will all appear on the LP. Guest features on the 12-track album will include Anna Wise, Dr. Dre, Drake, Jay Rock, Mary J. Blige and MC Eiht.
The album is currently slated to drop on October 22. Until then, keep it locked to The DJBooth for updates and more new music from the album.

DJBooth Album Review
Kendrick Lamar has risen from some Compton kid named K-Dot to Dr. Dre's protégé and hip-hop's most acclaimed voice because his music transcends any label. He's not just a voice of the people, he's the voice the people wish they could speak in. On his last two independent albums, Overly Dedicated and #Section80, he showed an ability to dive into abstraction without ever losing his grip on reality, to shift his flow and styles in ways that showcased a complete disregard for sounding "cool." So there was some justified anxiety around his major label release; it wasn't a question of if Interscope would influence the album, it was a matter of how much. Frankly, I had nightmares involving a Chris Brown hook and a Stargate beat.
Thankfully, the answer appears to be very little. Instead, the only noticeable label influences on GKMC seem to be a higher production budget and the ability to clear a Janet Jackson sample. Speaking of which, Poetic Justice has to be considered the album's most "radio friendly" offering, if only because of Drake's presence and the aforementioned smoother-than-smooth sample. It's a fine track, and certainly doesn't feel forced, but it's also one of the album's weakest because Kendrick sounds the most confined. By contrast, Swimming Pools (Drank) finds Kendrick playing with the genre, taking the binge drinking-friendly environment that's currently dominating the charts and twisting the formula almost beyond recognition, a method he uses again on Backseat Freestyle. While nearly every rapper alive would have bent over backwards to make that Hit-Boy beat the 2012 version of A Milli, Kendrick takes lyrics that aren't particularly far from the swaggering norm and delivers them in a voice that flips from verse to verse nearly schizophrenically. Along with the epically-minded Compton, those are GKMC's solid offerings...
…but I'm only so interested in solid. Really, I'm looking for "oh sh*t!" moments, and semi-title track m.A.A.d. city is an "oh sh*t" moment if I ever heard one. But while the first two minutes of m.A.A.D. city alone would make it eligible for banger of the year, half-way through the song the track completely switches to an equally loud but more laid-back riding tone. Who folds two songs into one track like that? The same guy who folds another two songs into a 12-minute journey like Sing About Me / Dying of Thirst. I've heard deeply personal and lyrically complex joints like Sing About Me before, often from Kendrick, but I've never heard anyone cut off a verse with gunshots like that before, never heard anyone so openly adopt a female voice like he does on the second verse, never heard anyone then simply allow the vocals on that verse to fade away while rapping about never fading away. And that's only the first half of the track. It's original touches like those, along with re-occurring, documentary style local voices that pervade the album, that ultimately make GKMC one of the most powerful representations of inner city life, a life where the wrong answer to "where you from?" can end everything in a moment, you'll ever hear. The Art of Peer Pressure? Oh sh*t that's some nice storytelling. Sherane? Oh sh*t that's a hell of a way to start an album. Sometimes, when the music really does hit you, all you can say it oh sh*t.
There are only three guarantees in life: death, taxes, and people who will say, "good kid, m.A.A.d city is dope, but it isn't as good as #Section80", or if they're feeling particularly ambitious, "…isn't as good as Overly Dedicated." (There's got to be at least the one dude saying "this isn't as good the Kendrick Lamar EP.) Of course, those same people will say Kendrick's next project isn't as good as GKMC, and there are two reasons why they're unable to recognize present greatness in favor of the past. First, they expected Kendrick to deliver the album of the year, so even if he does deliver the album of the year, he'll have only barely met their expectations; who's impressed by someone who barely meets their expectations? Second, they've built up a bank of memories that are triggered by Kendrick's previous projects: the nights spent riding around with their boys banging Michael Jordan, the hours they spent trying to rap along to Rigamortis. But when they listen to GKMC and search for some memory, they come up empty. That's not Kendrick's problem, it's your problem, it's our problem. He's given us all he could possibly give us; an album worthy of being called a classic. Now it's up to you to make it a classic. It's up to you to keep listening next week, next month and next year. It's up to you to play Sing About Me until you understand it's every nuance. It's up to you to build new memories, classic memories, tied to good kid, m.A.A.d city – all I can do is help by ending this review now and urging to you listen, and keep listening.
