Any time a book strikes a chord with a vast number of people, as Kathryn Stockett's The Help did, there is a mixture of anticipation and trepidation about its transition to the screen. Overall, I think writer-director Tate Taylor has done a good job bringing the book and its characters to life, in concert with an exceptional cast. And, crucially, he has managed to recreate the look and feel of a Southern town in the 1960s, with its separate but unequal citizenry: the well-to-do white folks and their black servants.
If you lived through that time, it is incredible to contemplate how much has changed (and how much hasn't) over the years, not only in race relations but in attitudes toward women. That's part of the fascination of watching The Help, which captures so many telling details of—
—everyday life back then.
Some of the white characters (the social queen bee played by Bryce Dallas Howard, the plain-spoken outcast played Jessica Chastain, and Howard's aged but outspoken mother, Sissy Spacek), while rooted in reality, flirt with caricature at times. I don't question that there were, or are, people just like them—or that this is meant to be entertainment, and not a documentary—but when the housemaids played by Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer seem so rich and palpably genuine, without a single false moment, it casts the broader characters in a different light. Of the white characters, only Emma Stone's portrayal of Skeeter, a college graduate who chafes at the restrictions placed upon her as a young woman in polite society, rings completely true.
I also found it difficult to care as much about the problems facing Skeeter and the other white women when their black counterparts are dealing with much more serious issues, often at the risk of their lives.
But if The Help is less than perfect, it's still a good movie that covers a lot of ground with an observant eye, and provides great parts for two exceptional actresses, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. It isn't too soon to be talking about Oscar where these women are concerned; their humanity shines through every scene.

I haven't seen the movie yet... but I did read the book and my opinion is that it was a very accurate portrayal of the South. I grew up in Alabama and sadly knew people exactly like Hilly. My Mom was always seemed busy with her Garden Club and other meetings and our maid Lomax was always there to "help out." I didn't appreciate at the time all she did for us but, I sure do now.
Troy | December 6, 2011 2:59 PM
I enjoyed the film. Actually, I saw it twice for reinforcement. Many of my fellow black friends panned the movie before (and after they saw it). One of my friends became enraged in the theater, but what I said to him is what I'll say to each person who's commented here:
If all you got from this film was a new reason to point fingers (whether you're white or black) you missed the point of the film. The movie is not about trying to remind white folks how bad their parents and grandparents treated blacks; it's about showing how an oppressed people overcame racial injustice, and how with each generation we have stripped away layers of hatred and discrimination.
The people in this comment thread have made all sorts of incendiary statements about each other, which as baseless. This is where we are today.

I lived in Mississippi all my life (50 years). Is there racisim...yes. More so between the older whites and yes older blacks. However, there's racisim in every state (even the North...you know we do get "the news" down here from time to time.) If the South were as dreaded as the rest of the US tries to make us, I believe we would be an all white south???!!!
Steve | September 4, 2011 4:38 AM
Has it ever occurred to anyone in the literary or movie business that the blacks were not the only "servants" in America. What about the Chinese out west when the railroads were being built?
Shoshana | September 2, 2011 1:52 AM
I read the book and saw the movie. The movie's lush scenery and portrayal of 1960's Jackson, Mississippi helped me to visualize the setting, and was beautiful. Of course, the white characters' problems, personal and otherwise, were very important to them, just as our problems, be they personal and perhaps petty, are important to us. It's a matter of scale. I would have made other choices for some of the casting, and I wouldn't have made the movie half-comedy, but I believe that millions of people who saw the movie, especially those who read the book as well, were deeply affected by it, and it certainly gave us much food for thought.
Colin Bowers | September 2, 2011 1:24 AM
David and JayG,
Were you in Jackson in the 1950's?? No, I didn't think so. "The whites, with one or two exceptions" WERE "brutal, uncaring racists". There were only the one or two exceptions, so I'd say the movie was pretty darn convincing. Like Maltin says, the movie shows how far we've come... and how far we have yet to come. But for goodness sake, let's not keeping making the same mistake of papering over history with false niceties and touchy-feely BS.
Yes, the story was fictional. As such, we're not expected to believe that everything happened the way it was portrayed ...but as far as "it could have happened" that way, that's the effect the movie should have, and there's absolutely no reason why it couldn't have. I've studied a great deal about that period in American history, and I found the movie really well-written. (Except for the "woo-hoo" and some of the other comments by the editor of the newspaper....as funny as he was, his dialogue was straight out of 2011).
Carole | August 24, 2011 11:44 AM
I read the book and saw the movie and am confused about the "Rachel" controversy/scene. Why would Constantine be fired on the spot when in the book it was for a completely different reason? I don't want to be a spoiler: read the book.
Karen | August 24, 2011 1:21 AM
to David, I haven't seen the film yet, but for your information, the Tea Party has nothing to do with racism. The president, on the other hand, is very good at using racism to "portray" whatever happens to be his flavor of the month.
William Casey | August 23, 2011 5:23 AM
Having grown up during this era in an Atlanta suburb, what resonated with me was this movie's portrayal of how "institutionalized" and "well, that's the way things are" racism was in day-to-day life. I grew up in a fairly non-racist household but one in which the status quo was just generally accepted. It was all just so "matter of fact... separate restrooms, separate schools, back-of-the-bus, job & housing discrimination, etc. Otherwise good people simply accepted injustice. There weren't too many "Hillys" around but there were legions who tolerated them and a whole lot worse. I believe that this movie was designed to attract the millions of us (and our children) who simply "stood by" back then and to motivate us to think. It succeeded. No liberal "white guilt" here, just some reflection.
Jeffrey | August 15, 2011 6:01 AM
Let's see here. "Win Win", "The Beaver", "Super 8", "Terri" and now this. Mr. Maltin has been nothing if not perplexing in choosing to like a select handful of films this year. Everything else he trashes with contempt.
JayG | August 14, 2011 5:30 AM
Time to round up the next generation of nuanced filmmakers in the Tea Party; I'm certain they'll be able to portray sympathetic, profound portraits of Whites in America. Clearly, the history books, institutions, entertainment, political spin and others have failed to give due to Whites. My goodness, what has this nation come to?
David | August 13, 2011 7:26 AM
I found this movie to be incredibly superficial. The black characters were all good people suppressed by white society. The whites (with only one or two exceptions) were brutal, uncaring racists.The fact that this is a novel, and not necessarily based on actual events, was completely ignored. As with many movies about this period, the media ignores any contrasting point of view. Any disagreement with Hollywood's viewpoint is merely dismissed as 'racist', with any further discussion unnecessary. Contrary views can be found in the dusty shelves of old bookstores. It's a shame our society has become so one-sided.
Norm | August 13, 2011 4:47 AM
Another film about "whites"only as racists, how original. It is amazing how one-dimensional and unoriginal screenwriting has become. If only there were other races that were racist.
Maybe if we were invaded by "white"only aliens...How did America ever survive...
rick | August 13, 2011 4:18 AM
nice to hear a privileged white man's perspective on this incredibly mainstream movie
Mrs. V. | August 13, 2011 2:47 AM
I'm glad you liked the movie, because I respect your comments on films. I am baffled how other critics gave it a rotten review. There was so much to be learned from this movie. Let us never forget, as some may rise in this world, that we are from the same slice of life--humanity. I know some small parts were corny, but this allowed some of the heavy hitting points to come through. I laughed, was involved, hated, loved and understood things that I personally don't feel in my heart. I laughed @ many scenes, but inside their was a heaviness in my soul. As the movie was drawing to a close, this heaviness opened up andI silently, yet visibly, I cried with emotions which were brought to the top by the greatness of this movie.
thank you,
Geri | August 13, 2011 2:14 AM
I disagree with your comment that you found it difficult to care as much about the white housewives problems. I thought the screen play was written so well, the actresses carried the lines, and played it to the hilt, and I thought there was tenderness to be felt for white & black. Throughout time no one that I know of can measure pain of hunger, pain of beatings, pain of miscarriage, pain of social meaness, and discrimination. Meaness can't be cured, but love helps and the movie abounded in love. Hurrah Stockett !
Brooklyn Eddie | August 12, 2011 9:48 AM
I disagree in your remark about finding it difficult to care about the white housewifes problems such as Skeetzers love life , her trying tonwrite and publish the book , the miscarriages , Hilys villainous personalities .... I found it easier than you to care because of well written screen play and acting convincing me to care......I care about all of the character in some way or another....

A bridal shower, Paama style
The oldest of the Avock family is my sister Lenneth age 24 who lives on another island with her daughter and husband to be. It's not uncommon for couples to bear children before the official marriage ceremony. There are several parts to custom marriages that lead up to the actual religious union. Similar to our engagement parties and bridal/groom showers, one of them is when Aunties of the bride who had given the bride a name when she was born*, dress the bride. (*Most Ni-Vanuatu have several names…my little sister Lisa is also a Joyce and Kenny given to her by aunties.)
So the "dress the bride" shower for my sister, Lenneth is the reason for the 2 cows being killed. Large bags of rice, yam, manioc and other root crops are brought by family and friends as gifts. They also bring mats, calico, bed sheets and blankets. During the dressing of the bride, all the aunties start to dress my sister with island dresses…removing one and putting on another. Baby powder is doused over her or properly called here "swim long powda". Her sisters, Mar, Lisa and myself and mama Eva are also dressed in new island dresses.
I wasn't prepared for this and didn't wear a bra (love that I don't have to wear them here!). An Auntie strips my dress off and I practically flash all the Mamas! Then got drenched with baby powder as well. More dresses and calico peeled off and on, whiffs of snowy powder float all around us…
After the powder shower (a new name, I'm giving it), we returned back to the nakamal where papas are eating the freshly butchered, organic beef with rice and island cabbage. Kids are running around the rows of "party favors" that are set out for each family…yam and beef. We then gather around for the presenting of all the gifts. First mats, then blankets, sheets, calico, more island dresses and a bucket, some dishes and money.
Music plays while I bounce around and storian with family and friends who are visiting. It was an amazing day, surreal and beautiful.

What You Need to Know About Breeding
The Discus is a genus that belongs to the Symphysodon species. There are three types: Green, Common, and Heckel. The differences are based on their variations in color. Green speaks for itself, common is blue or brown, and heckel, which is yellow to brown in color with some blue stripes. They have laterally compressed bodies similar to the shape of discs, thus leading to their name.
Their species normally inhabit the lakes and rivers in the Amazon Basin. Nowadays, there are many people who have made it a hobby to take care of them as their pets. Some even make a business out of it.
Many are enticed by them because they can be trained and have the ability to know their owners. Unlike other species, discus are well aware of their surroundings and what is happening outside of their tank. Breeding them can be an exciting hobby, whether for fun, profit, or both.
Why Breeding Is A Good Source of Income?
Breeding them can be a great hobby, and can also be an excellent source of income. Pet shops earn a lot from breeding them because many fish lovers choose them over any other type of fish. Discus are sociable fish- they're not just pretty to look at. And because of this fact, most people are inclined to choose them over other breeds.
How to Breed
There are many factors to consider in breeding them. That's why only a handful of people have mastered the techniques necessary for breeding. The challenge in breeding them successfully is due to the fact that they are highly sensitive creatures to any disturbance in their environment. Therefore, you must have a great deal of patience and determination to grow a school of them.
Here are some things you should remember in breeding discus:
- Consider the size, water temperature, and acidity of the aquarium. The fish tank should be 48 x 18 x 18 inches. With that size, one can keep 4 to 6 small discus. When breeding them, the pH level should be close enough to a 6.5 pH (balanced, essentially), while the temperature should be kept at or near 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Obtain the right pair for breeding. In order for your fish to be comfortable with each other, you must buy young discus and let them grow together. Eventually, two of them will pair up and mate.
- What should you feed them? There are many types of food available. You can feed them pellets, brine shrimp, blood worms and beef heart. These foods must be planned out ahead of time and given to them in a well-balanced diet. Ideally, you should first conduct an experiment to find out which type of food they prefer before buying any kind in bulk. Be sure to remove any excess food, as bacteria will set in and potentially harm your fish if you don't.
Should there be a Resting Period When Breeding?
Once a couple has started to spawn, you can expect them to lay eggs every week or every second week for up to 15 weeks at a time. If the couple that you're breeding is healthy, they can go through 2 cycles per year. Their eggs will hatch within 48 hours and you'll see their fry swimming freely after 72 hours.

Next Game
Weeknight #MACtion returns tonight in Oxford, Ohio as the Miami RedHawks host the Bowling Green Falcons in a Mid-American Conference Eastern Division contest. This will be the 70th edition of this rivalry, which dates back to 1941. Since 1950, there have been only two years in which these two teams haven't faced each other -- 2002 and 2004. Miami leads the all-time series by nearly a 2:1 margin with a record of 42-22-5. However, the Falcons have won 12 of the last 21 meeting, including three of the four during head coach Dave Clawson's tenure. This will be the first time that Interim head coach Mike Bath will face BGSU in that role.
BGSU won last year's game in Bowling Green, 37-12. The last meeting in Oxford was also won by Bowling Green, with a final of 37-23. Miami's last win in the series was a 24-21 victory played in dense fog in Bowling Green during the 2010 season.
By The Numbers:
Bowling Green travels to Oxford with an overall record of 5-3 and a 3-1 record in MAC games. The Falcons are tied with Ohio for second place in the MAC's Eastern Division, and both teams are one game behind Buffalo in the standings. While Ohio and Buffalo also play tonight, Bowling Green will face both teams over the final three weeks of the season.
Miami is winless for the season with an 0-8 record and an 0-4 mark in the MAC. The RedHawks have come close, with two seven-point losses in their last three games. After tonight, Miami closes with games at Kent State, versus Buffalo at home, and at Ball State.
The Falcons are among the nation's leaders in several statistical categories. They lead the nation in red zone defense (.583 conversion rate) and are sixth in time of possession (33:53). They are also seventh in punt return average (16.7). Further, Bowling Green is in the top 20 nationally in scoring defense (18.5; 13th) and passing defense (183.6; 11th). BGSU leads the MAC in all of these categories, as well as total defense, opponent first downs, and opponent fourth-down percentage.
With an 0-8 record, Miami's statistics and their place among the national rankings are as you may expect, but there are a couple of bright spots. Miami has just ten turnovers in eight games and has a total turnover margin of +5. That ranks fifth in the MAC. Punter Zac Murphy leads the nation with a 48.1 yard gross punting average. Out of his 54 punts in 2013, 19 have traveled at least 50 years, and 13 have been downed inside the opponent's 20 yard line. Also, two weeks ago, kicker Kaleb Patterson kicked a 52-yard field goal against Akron. That is tied for the fourth-longest field goal in Miami history.
Four Names To Know:
Austin Gearing: Gearing, a redshirt freshman, is Miami's leading rusher with 270 yards on 64 carries. He was also, until this week, Miami's backup quarterback. He and redshirt sophomore Drew Kummer will now inherit the starting role from fifth-year senior Austin Boucher, who was lost for the season after injuring his knee in Miami's most recent game at Ohio. Gearing and Kummer have combined for 16 career pass attempts at Miami. Gearing is 4-for-10 with just 23 yards, while Kummer is 2-for-6 with 29 yards. Clearly, if Miami is to have any chance of victory, Gearing will have to play a smart, efficient game.
Dayonne Nunley: Nunley is Miami's leader in the secondary. He is fourth on the team with 54 tackles and has one of Miami's eight interceptions. He also has ten pass break-ups; no one else on the team has more than three. In his four-year career as a RedHawk, Nunley has 13 interceptions and 35 pass break-ups, as well as 21 tackles for loss. He'll be one of the biggest keys to stopping the Bowling Green offense
Travis Greene: Greene ranks 12th nationally (and third in the MAC) in rushing with an average of 113.3 yards per game. He is also effective as a receiver out of the backfield and has 11 catches for 116 yards so far. He ranks sixth on the team in catches. Greene's presence is, in large part, what drives the Bowling Green offense. He has six total touchdowns, but more importantly, when he is able to run effectively, quarterback Matt Johnson is then able to execute play-action fakes that help drive the passing game. Greene is averaging 19 carries per game, so expect him to get another heavy dose of action this week.
Jerry "Boo Boo" Gates: Linebacker Gabe Martin was lost for the season after Bowling Green's loss to Toledo due to a knee injury. While Gates' role in the secondary was already important, his overall role in being a defensive leader is now even larger. It remains to be seen whether he will stay exclusively in the defensive backfield or if he will assume a role closer to a roving safety/linebacker combination, but in any event, his responsibility will increase. If BGSU is to continue its high level of play on defense, Gates must make plays.
How To Watch
Television: The game will be televised nationally by ESPNU. The broadcast will begin at 8:00 p.m. ET. Mark Neely (play-by-play) and David Diaz Infante (analyst) will call the game.

The ship was under code red for the first 12 days, which I didn't mind since it was for the health and safety of the passengers.
The crew were exceptional - providing wonderful opportunities for enjoyment and entertainment. DJ Maek with his line dancing lessons, name that tune, and bingo; Lifesttylisr Jay with his endless choices of exercise: aqua aerobics, sit and be fit, deck walk, and tai chi; Jillian with her party planner activities: crafts, cooking demos, food trivia and stage competitions; Librarian David provided excellent quizzes in the AM and book club; Techspert Krista was an awesome teacher. The captain was informative and had a nice sense of humor.
Entertainers were really good: Glen the gituarist was the best we have ever had on HA.
As always the room Stewart's and dining staff were friendly and efficient.
Excursions were excellent. Panama Canal commentary very much appreciated. Didn't appreciate the over abundance of street vendors in Cartagena, Columbia.

In a week which saw the spotlight turn toward Alexander Radulov and his remarkable return, it's Nashville's leading goal-scorer who has perhaps had the hottest hand of late.
Martin Erat's finally shaking off the "overpaid" label this season, as he stands ready to set career best offensive numbers for the Nashville Predators.
With the addition of Andrei Kostitsyn to the lineup, there's added pressure on the goal-scoring wingers to both produce, and Patric Hornqvist is getting it done.
In a week where eight different Nashville Predators scored one goal apiece, the guy who made the biggest difference in the team's fortunes didn't even put on skates.
If Wilson can combine workmanlike effort with the skills and hockey savvy he has already demonstrated, he will continue to develop into the power forward Nashville fans have been waiting for.
The Human Rocket Ship blasted back from a benching in grand fashion last week, as Ryan Ellis got back in the lineup and delivered the winning goal against Chicago on Tuesday night.
In a week without a win, the bright spot for the Nashville Predators is that the offense chipped in twice to overcome deficits, force overtime, and at least earn the team points in the standings.
In the course of a 3-game week, he didn't just led the way with 3 goals scored, but he tallied both game-winners, including the final two scores in that insane, absurd, ridiculous comeback at...
This last week, it was Mike Fisher's turn to shine, as he led the Predators to a 2-0 record with 3 goals.
A shutdown defenseman's work is usually a thankless job - much like referees, the old saying applies that the less seen of them, the better. But this week, the hockey gods smiled on Kleiner.

Get ready for some fun on the Flint. An educational canoe trip down the river is on for this weekend to support the Flint Riverquarium.
The Riverquarium had to cancel several canoe trips over the summer due to high water levels.
RiverQuarium officials say this weekend is looking good, and they encourage families to sign up. Education Manager Melissa Martin said, "All of our canoe trips are open to the public, but yes we've had some high water levels that unfortunately, we had to cancel several of our canoe trips, but the rain has subsided some, and the river's looking good."
The trip begins at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and will last six to eight hours. Another trip that length is set for November 9 with an all-day paddle scheduled for October 12.

— Heck urges students to stand for beliefs
First off, I would like to say that I am a proud 2005 Eastern High School graduate. I had the honor of having Mr. Peter Heck as a teacher for not one, but two classes. I am a strong-headed Democrat in a very red state. I have one degree and am working on my second now. I am a female.
It angers me to see all the slander that is going on right now towards this man. What did he do wrong? Saying that the greatest job a woman can have is being a mother? Is he wrong? He also addressed the males, as well, but no one cares about that.
Mr. Heck did not ever once say I should not go on to be a college graduate, nor did he ever mention it in class. On the contrary, he told me to go on and to think about law school.
He wants everyone to be the best they can be. This is what he was getting across at the ceremony for this year's graduating class. People are taking everything he said out of context and attacking him. At this point, I cannot sit by and let a wonderful man and teacher be attacked so.
To address those people saying they will rip they children out of Eastern, I ask you, why? You are taking them out of a wonderful school system, with a wonderful group of teachers who love their jobs and will pass their passion for learning on to your children. Do you really want to hurt your children that much?
I have no children of my own yet. When I do, I would want them to go to Eastern and to be taught by the best. I want them to learn lessons not only about the subjects they are required to learn, but about life itself. I want them, children of all ages, to be able to have teachers who care.
Mr. Heck is one of those teachers. He cares! And we as a community are slandering him because of what he said? What is more important in this life than having children and raising them with values and equipping them to face the world without you?
Just because he said "to the women," that does not mean he is singling them out and telling them they should be home bodies only. He is letting them know that no matter how high they reach, the greatest job God has given them is to raise their own children (either by birth, marriage or adoption).
There needs to be no further "action" that is required here. Mr. Heck did nothing wrong. I will stand by him and support him. He taught me to stand up for things I believe in and never back down.
Mr. Heck, I'm applying that lesson right now.

comes in herb form and capsule
thank you :)
I know left you months ago but let you meet my friends mary jane meet caption mor, captain mor meet Vic Watson
so im not a bad writer , but if only i had a pretty voice to sing so i could sing my songs and just be heard by others and not judged
her life is no book
not fiction or real
no princes or knights
no riches nor golds
but her life was hell
the lives you read about or see movies on
a life that you couldn't imagine
the drugs she used made her real
they rushed in her veins to make her feel
the smoke in her lungs helped her brethe
she had no one
but him and him
one was a loner the other a stoner
but they fought for this strange girl
both in love but she couldnt care
because in her eyes thier was no life
just a prison your in till death
either on purpose or accident
she stood clear,
why must the pain in ones eyes be blinded by others inconsiderate selves
do you see her pain
the abuse the reasons of her actions
NO you just quickly judge her for being an addict, a cutter and run away
stop and look deep in her eyes
do you see the pain?
the abandonment , the desire to feel love and love someone else
the passion for knowledge
would you help?
no you just watch her keep using and getting a quick fix of happiness
this poor girl could be someone you know very dear
but why judge her like a cover of this book
old and ugly, is all you see
not the brown hair hazel green eyed girl
with her scars tells stoires just like the keys i type on
yes tradgic ones but why not ask?
why not just try and care, give her the time
because after all were all human beings under control by this world
not our parents but the government the one who control our every action and final choice in this shitty life
so when you see her all strung out make small talk
she might then ask for help
jsut because you cared a little
I don't know what's going on anymore :(

Former Tyler Lee Red Raider Brett Pirtle is enjoying his moment on the national stage at the College World Series. It wasn't an easy road to Omaha. One year ago he was playing at Panola Junior College. Now Pirtle is the starting second baseman for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
"It's been a journey to get where I am starting in high school to going to JUCO, to wanting to go division one and wanting to go to the SEC," said Pirtle. "Going here I knew we had a chance to do something special and that's why I picked Mississippi State."
Just three wins away from a national championship, Pirtle is receiving plenty of love from East Texas.
"I'm getting a lot of texts," he said. "It's awesome that they're all watching. That's where I grew up. I love Tyler, Texas."
Pirtle and the Bulldogs are 2 and 0 in World Series pool play. They play again Friday afternoon at two.

Naples Community Hospital announced Thursday that it joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network. It opens up new opportunities for doctors and for patients.
Eva Sugden and her family helped Naples Community Hospital grow to what it is today.
"My family was very supportive of the community here in Naples," said Sugden.
That's why Sugden jumped on board when she heard about the hospital's big announcement.
"Today we announce a clinically significant collaboration between NCH and the most respected and recognized healthcare system in the world - the Mayo Clinic," said Allen Weiss, NCH CEO.
"I think the Mayo connection means so much not only for me but for all of the people in the community," said Sugden.
The collaboration is the first of its kind in Florida and the only one in the southeast.
It's a collaboration expected to help people like Sugden.
"I actually did have a health issue this year and it just so happens my doctor wanted me to go to Mayo Clinic because they collaborate and they have so much info," said Sugden.
The collaboration will allow NCH's doctors to get vital information through the use of the Mayo Clinic system - much like getting a second opinion.
"If a patient needs to go to Mayo, we'll make it easier, but hopefully many of those patients can be treated through these electronic consultants and other means to keep them close to home so they don't have to travel," said Dr. William Rupp, CEO Mayo Clinic FL.
For those who do have to travel for healthcare, Naples Mayor John Sorey hopes the Mayo Clinic will bring them to Naples.
"We're excited and obviously medical tourism has some auxiliary benefits to people coming and staying in our hotels, eating in our restaurants. So that's a good thing," said Sorey.
A good thing that's expected to turn families who visit loved ones in the hospital-into possible new home buyers and contributors to the economy.

Earlier we told you about the woman arrested in the San Fernando Valley in connection with a child porn case...Andre Birotte, the United States Attorney for the Central District of California, was here to talk more about that.
The 'wanted poster' can be seen on www.ice.gov, and at the Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System Website.
(CNS story below)
Federal authorities in Los Angeles asked the public's help today in identifying a man and woman charged with producing child pornography in the San Fernando Valley.
A criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court against the unidentified defendants -- whose pictures were made public -- involves a widely circulated series of child porn images believed to have been taken about 11 years ago in Encino and elsewhere in the region.
While a girl being sexually abused in the images is now likely an adult, authorities continue to pursue the case for several reasons, including bringing the defendants to justice and preventing the abuse of additional victims, prosecutors said.
"We have come to the point where we have exhausted all our investigative techniques and now we are coming to the public," U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said at a press conference in downtown Los Angeles. "We have to do everything we can to identify them."
The pictures in the case show a male and female adult sexually molesting a girl who appears to be about 13. Although the male's face has been purposely obscured, the female's face can be seen in a number of the images.
The male in the photos appears to be between 40 and 50, while the female looks to be between 35 and 45. Both are white.
The defendants would now be about 11 years older. The female has several tattoos, including a black tattoo on her right hip resembling a butterfly, a tattoo on her right shoulder blade depicting the outline of a curled up cat, a tattoo with words across the top of her left wrist and a tattoo on the upper portion of her left breast.
"The images in this series have been identified in connection with more than 275 child pornography investigations across the country," said Claude Arnold, special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles.
"The reality is, every time a photo or a video of an innocent child being sexually exploited is viewed, that victim is violated again," he said. "That is why we owe it to all of the juvenile victims in these kinds of cases to work tirelessly to seek answers and, ultimately, justice. Those who produce and trade child pornography over the Internet believe they're protected by the anonymity of cyberspace. With the public's help, we're determined to prove them wrong."
Based upon forensic analysis conducted by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, investigators believe the images were produced in the San Fernando Valley. So far, ICE agents in Los Angeles have interviewed dozens of individuals in seeking further leads in the case, but have yet to identify either the adults or the victim in the photographs.
The child pornography images in this case were first discovered by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations agents in Chicago in 2007. The material was submitted to the Child Victim Identification Program, which determined the victim had not yet been identified and was not linked with other known child pornography images.
The announcement of the case against "John and Jane Doe" was made in relation to HSI's Operation Sunflower, a recently concluded enforcement action aimed at rescuing victims and targeting individuals who own, trade and produce child pornography, officials said.
In the Los Angeles area, HSI identified several children who had been subjected to ongoing sexual abuse, and those allegedly responsible are now being prosecuted by the Orange County District Attorney's Office, federal prosecutors said.
"Child pornographers are collectors, and they share these images with others," Arnold said. "It's not profit-motivated. This is just to feed their sick obsession."

EDITORS NOTE: KLTV was asked by the wife of Staff Sergeant Nelson Trent to not publicize time, date or location of the processional, funeral or burial services. The request was made by the family with the ongoing presence of protestors showing up at military funerals.
TYLER (KLTV) - East Texans are remembering a soldier killed in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense confirmed earlier this week that Army Staff Sergeant Nelson Trent died Thursday, December 13, in Kandahar after an Improvised Explosive Device ignited. Staff Sergeant Trent was a 1993 graduate of Whitehouse High School.He and friend James Wansley met while they were students there."Our favorite thing was to throw on some camo and then run out in the woods and play bb gun tag out in the woods. So it was kind of like being friends with Huck Finn who was, you know, always looking for the next adventure and always looking for the next world to explore," said Wansley.They lost touch over the years, but Wansley says he reconnected with Trent online a few years ago and stayed in touch there."He was a father, a husband, a friend to me, a hero. He was in the military for 12 years active-duty," Wansley said.Staff Sergeant Trent served two tours in Iraq, in 2003 and 2005 and also served as a patrol agent for the Texas Border Security Mission. This past May, he accepted a position with the 56th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, which sent him to Afghanistan."It always made me feel comfortable and safe that he was over there taking care of things because I knew he would do it well," Wansley said.Wansley says Trent always made sure everyone around him had a good time."Whenever we would get together with people he was the center of attention. If he was there, you knew he was there, and he liked to have fun," he said.And in this time of need, an online fund has been established to help Trent's wife, April, with funeral expenses, and to start college funds for his 9 year-old son David and 4 year-old daughter Camryn."Every year around this time, the family's going to feel the burden of this tragedy more so than they do throughout the year. And we're hoping that the community can reach out to them so they can feel the love," said Wansley.If you'd like to donate to the Trent family, please visit their online memorial.

Hello Residents,
Thursday, March 26th, 2015 is the date for the Recycleathon - brought to you by your Facilities Management Recycling Department and Housing Residential Life.
During this time, Residential properties divided as shown in the table below, under the guidance of their (RA's) will compete in a one day weigh-in to see how much recyclables they have collected. The recyclable material must be collected and placed in the metal wired containers located next to each dumpster.
Accepted materials include paper products like catalogs, junk mail, magazines, cardboard, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, glass, and electronics. The contest does not accept food waste.
Please note that the contest winner will be determined by taking total weight of recycled materials divided by the number of students residing in that residential area. This will help even the playing field because of the different sizes of the residence halls. The Recycling Department will dispatch trucks to gather all materials collected from the residential areas, weigh it and determine the winning area.
The RA'S of the each residence hall will collect all the students names to be entered into a raffle, to decide student winners for a prize.
Remember, all you'll have to do is to simply collect all the recyclable materials from your room and residence building and have it ready for collection during the Recycleathon.

Building Power
by Matt Stoller, Mon May 07, 2007 at 08:17:29 AM EDT
I'm going to follow on Chris's posts on diversity by explaining why I blog. I have a certain set of values, and I want to see the political system adopt those values, including transparency, honesty, and civic democracy. My hypothesis is that these values are shared by a wide group, and that organizing through the blogs is one route to pressuring for social change. In other words, blogging is just a means to power for a progressive movement that I want to see succeed.
And surprisingly, it's not actually easy to have an impact on the political system. As weird as it sounds , a link from Atrios or Firedoglake, or a mention in the New York Times, does not change the political system. It is in fact a lot of work to get a change to happen. For instance, I've written between 125-175 posts on net neutrality, each of which required a combination of one or more of the following: original research, coordination through conference calls, meetings on the hill, extensive reading of alternative points of view. Each one required a new angle and a new way of explaining policy and politics. And even with all this work, I was only one small part of a large coalition, and we haven't yet won. This is not counting the large number of issues I've blogged on that have had little to no impact, all of which can be seen as loss-leading investment where we are prodding for vulnerabilities in the business coalitions of the right.
All of this is to say that change is not easy, and you have to go looking for it if you want it. You have to do a lot of work to make it happen. Much of the handwringing about the progressive political blogosphere seems to come from an unwillingness to either do the work to make change happen or an ignorance that change and building power is really really hard.
Now, there are many ways to have an impact using the medium of blogging. Here are some strategies that by themselves don't work.
1) Getting a link from big bloggers: This is neat, since there's lots of traffic and the validation is cool. But magically, change doesn't just happen with a link.
2) Whining about linking: Since getting a link doesn't actually create change, whining about getting a link doesn't create change.
3) Complaining about how nobody cares about your pet issue: This is often a subset of whining about linking. Here's the real truth. It's not that nobody cares about your pet issue, it's that it's not a priority for most people. That's why it's your pet issue. You have to explain why your pet issue is worth prioritizing and how by doing so others can have an impact. Until you do, it remains your problem. Don't take it personally if people don't share your priorities. Instead, convince and lead the way.
4) Erecting mythical barriers to entry: I hear a lot of complaining about large blogs keeping out other voices. That's a self-destructive attitude. If you really think there's an underserved niche, that's an opportunity and not a barrier. In 2002, the blogosphere was dominated by Instapundit and a 'civil' crew of bipartisan bloggers all of whom were 'serious' and pro-war. Rather than whining, Atrios saw a niche and created a compelling blog.
The big difference between the blogs and the media is that you don't have to go through a cable booker to get onto the internet. To get a big blog, you have to create compelling content and market it. No one is stopping you but you. And if you are reading this then arguments about class and access to the internet are not applicable to you. If you are part of an underserved niche, great, that means there's a market opportunity. Seize it.
So those are some tactics that don't work. Here are some tactics that can help build power.
1) Raise money for candidates: You don't have to raise a lot to be meaningful. Even a few thousand dollars from a few hundred people matters if it's early enough. Saveinternetradio can clearly raise that, but there isn't, which means there's an opportunity to build power. Actblue is open to all, there's no physical gatekeeping anymore. And if you can't raise any money at all, my guess is that you're just not trying. Asking for money isn't easy, but again, neither is creating change or building power. If you don't want to do it, then don't whine about people who are willing to do it using the power they create for stuff they care about.
2) Originate compelling information: News shapes pubic opinion. If you can originate compelling information or analyze news in an interesting and unique way, you can shape public opinion.
3) Bother/persuade the right people: There's a small group of people who make policy in politics. If you can annoy them by reaching them with effective arguments, you can shape their thinking. This is true for corporate policy as well, or any policy world; small networks that are penetrable by blogs exist.
4) Create useful policy ideas: If you create interesting policy ideas and push them repeatedly and consistently, you will succeed. This is a lot of work, since it means you have to take in a lot of feedback and aggressive push your ideas, maybe for years. But America is big, and so small changes in policy have huges consequences. That means it's a lot of work to make these changes, but the payoff can be large.
5) Watchdog an institution: A blog that focuses on an institution, like the CBC, the Human Rights Campaign, a caucus, a candidate, or a journalism, can be very influential if you are making good arguments. You can only be ignored for so long if your case is good.
These tactics should probably be used interchangeably for maximum success. And in a lot of ways, though it's harder to create a new blog brand these days, it's actually easier to have an impact on the political system. Politicians read Dailykos these days, they read the diaries, which means you have an audience of influential people built-in if you can say something compelling. A few years ago, influential people did not read blogs or user-generated content, but those obstacles have been cleared. Now politicians are online, doing video, reading and writing on blogs, and just generally interacting with citizens. They are trying to figure this stuff out. Of course, though there is leverage on the internets, this isn't the only place there is leverage so by no means is blogging the only way to create power.
There are big opportunities here. Seize them. No one is stopping you but you.

The title The Ides of March gives away the fact this isn't going to be a celebration of politics, as we all know what happened to Julius Caesar on that fateful day. And while there isn't an assassination involved in this Ides of March, there are plenty of betrayals, backstabbing and plots to kill political ambitions going on. In fact, there's so much ugliness involved in this fictional peek behind the curtain into the nastiness that occurs during political campaigning that it could turn you completely off politics - if reality hasn't done so for you already.
Co-writer/actor/director George Clooney says The Ides of March could have had the politics stripped out and been set on Wall Street to the same effect. And although I understand where he's going with that line of reasoning, I don't agree with the Oscar-winner. The Ides of March works as well as it does because of how it examines a world we all assume is corrupt and validates our opinions.
The Story
Based on the play Farragut North by Beau Willimon, The Ides of March follows Governor Mike Morris (Clooney) and his dedicated campaign workers as they try and drum up support for his run for presidency on the Democratic ticket. Key members of his staff include his jaded but capable campaign manager Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and his campaign spokesman, the idealistic Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) who truly believes his friend, Governor Morris, is in fact the best solution to righting the sinking ship in Washington D.C. Stephen actually thinks his candidate is a man of principle, someone who can be trusted to do the right thing for the good of the country and who won't sell out in order to win over voters. Governor Morris is a real straight shooter who relates to the youth of America (the youth of voting age, that is) and in the first half of the film, this is a man who might well win the right to run for President on the Democratic ticket right now.
Other pivotal players in this increasingly dirty and cutthroat political race are Paul Zara's counterpart on Governor Morris' opponent's campaign, Tom Duffy (Paul Giamatti), and a hard-nosed, ruthless New York Times reporter (Marisa Tomei) whose threats of going public with the campaign's dirty laundry send Stephen's career as spokesman spiraling off course. Stephen's life is further complicated by his attraction to a young intern named Molly Stearns (Evan Rachel Wood) who's connected to an important political figure and who has been biding her time for the right opportunity to get Stephen into bed.
Of course, the first half of the movie is only setting the audience - and Stephen - up for a fall. We see Governor Morris say and do all the right things publicly, but it's not until The Ides of March hits its half-way point that we come to understand just how slick and sleazy he is and how well he's been able to hide it behind his winning smile and unflappable public persona. And as Stephen is forced to come to terms with the reality of the situation he's in, and is forced to open his eyes to the fact his mentor isn't who he says he is, The Ides of March changes from a political drama to a cat-and-mouse thriller with an election and the occupation of the White House hanging in the balance.
The Acting and the Bottom Line:
George Clooney the director is almost too kind to his actors, preferring close-up shots when they're not necessary and allowing scenes to extend out when cutting away would better serve his audience. However, he has a fine grasp on how to slowly build up the tension and when to just let the story run wild as it heads toward its ending. And as an actor, Clooney doesn't disappoint his director, delivering another fine performance albeit one that feels a little too familiar.
In supporting roles, Giamatti and Hoffman are equally as impressive as the old-school, 'seen it all and survived to tell/cover up the story' campaign veterans who mask their ruthlessness behind good ol' boy exteriors. Likewise, Tomei plays the NYT reporter just as tough as the politicians she covers, stubborn, on task, and unyielding in her determination to score an exclusive and break a big story. And as Molly, the pretty intern who winds up in bed with Stephen and turns out to be the most pivotal supporting player of them all, Wood is absolutely perfect. The 24 year old plays a 20 year old who tries to pass herself off as sophisticated but is actually way out of her league, and Wood brings just the right mix of bravado and vulnerability to the role.
But this is really Ryan Gosling's film, and as he did with the recently released action thriller Drive and in the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, Gosling nails his performance. Transitioning from idealistic campaign spokesperson to someone who must adjust his take on his choice of careers and on the world of politics in general, Gosling turns in an awards-worthy performance.
Even filled as it is with terrific performances, The Ides of March has a few minor hiccups that keep it from living up to its potential. The loop we're thrown for in the third act doesn't feel genuine compared to the story leading up to it, and a few of the pieces of the pie are too neatly tidied up. Still, The Ides of March is a solid, entertaining film that could be in the running comes awards time. And for those worried about the politics involved, don't be. The film does focus on the Democratic party, but this is definitely not a tale of politicians as heroes and everyone involved comes out looking varying degrees of sleazy.
The Ides of March was directed by George Clooney and is rated R for pervasive language.

Now we're in the swing of things.
Back in the swing is actually more accurate. This is, after all, the 26th year for an event that's a boon not only for the "City with a Heart," but for the Michiana region as a whole.
Today is the second in a three-day run for the Elkhart Jazz Festival. The event officially kicked off late Friday afternoon, though Davina and the Vagabonds offered a preview Thursday night during a sponsor reception along the river.
This year's showcase boasts more than 80 artists playing more than 100 hours of music at six downtown Elkhart venues. The musicians are known to jazz aficionados, with one name in particular having broader recognition. That's Wynton Marsalis, booked to play tonight at The Lerner Theatre.
The festival is remarkable for its artist roster. Perhaps even more noteworthy is its longevity. Event co-chairman David Smith points out that at 26 years, Elkhart's musical showcase has lasted 22 years longer than the standard jazz festival.
That's not due to luck or happenstance. The Elkhart Jazz Festival owes its continued success to local sponsors who appreciate the value of the arts in their community. It's lasted thanks to organizers and volunteers whose efforts are vital, though largely unheralded.
Consider, too, that the festival might have folded years ago were it not for an audience with fine musical taste and discerning ears. That's us, Michiana.
What makes a successful community? Certainly business retention and recruitment are key, as well as a healthy tax base and solid infrastructure.
Arts, entertainment and cultural offerings tend to be viewed as less essential. We think that's short-sighted. These elements add spirit and vibrancy to a community — they complete the picture. Ask anyone within earshot of any of the masterful performers in downtown Elkhart today.
Happy 26th anniversary, Jazz Festival. You're music to our ears.

The euro comedy that keeps on giving
For the last time, I never used the word "template". Thus said Jeroen Dijsselbloem, President of the Eurogroup, at his IMF press conference on Saturday. This is about whether the troika's disastrous mishandling of the Cypriot bailout should be used as a model for future banking insolvencies in the eurozone. The row shows no sign of abating. OK, so Mr Dijsselbloem never did use the word "template" in originally welcoming the Cypriot defenestration, but that's what he meant, forcing him quickly to backtrack when it was pointed out to him that his remarks might prompt a run on banks elsewhere in the eurozone.
But hold on a moment. Wolfgang Schauble, the German finance minister, said on Friday that Cyprus did provide a model in terms of bailing in depositors, so who's right? Well it is sort of a model, Mr Dijsselbloem said at his IMF press conference, in the sense that common principles would in future be applied to banking resolution, but each case would no doubt be different and have its own defining characteristics. All clear now?
During the course of his press conference, Mr Dijsselbloem, who is also the Dutch finance minister, disclosed that slow growth would force the Netherlands to ask for a year's extension in meeting the 3 per cent deficit target stipulated by the fiscal compact. I assumed this must have been well known in Holland, but according to the attending Dutch press corrs, it's genuinely new.
One by one, all the eurozone's high deficit countries are requesting, and being given, extensions – France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and so on. The fiscal compact is crumbling before our eyes as weaker nations push back against austerity.
What gave Mr Dijsselbloem's admission that he needs more time its comic turn was that since he cannot presumably make the request of himself as president of the Eurogroup, he must make it of Olli Rehn, Europe's economic affairs commissioner. As it happens, Mr Rehn was meant to be co-hosting the press conference, so were it not for the fact that he had failed to turn up, the request could have been made and granted there and then. And so the tragicomedy continues, with no end in sight.

Man shot at Dallas pub
DALLAS -- The 19-year-old charged in the shooting death of a Good Samaritan who broke up a robbery outside a North Dallas bar said from jail Thursday that he deserves to be executed for his crime.
"What I did was wrong, I killed that man. I think I should get nothing less than the death penalty," said Justin Jones from prison.
Jones, 19, admitted to killing Donald Morrow outside Sherlock's Baker St. Pub and Grill last week. Tierra Winters, 17, confessed to being the getaway driver. Dallas police cleared the way Thursday for the media to publish photos of the two after charges were filed.
Both are in custody at the Lew Sterett Justice Center, which is where Jones admitted to News 8 that he killed Morrow and that he's ready to face the death penalty.
"I'm in here for capital murder," Jones said. "They know I did it. Everybody knows I did it. I did it."
"Yeah, so why would I still sit here and lie?" Jones said when asked if he was admitting the killing.
Jones said he recalls little of that night of robberies while high on PCP last week, which ended when police say he tried to rob a man in the bar's parking lot and Morrow intervened.
"I don't even remember his face, what happened to him," he said. "I don't ever remember walking up to him, waving a gun at him -- all I remember is just a gunshot."
Memories are all that Morrow's mother and his family have of him now. Morrow's mother, Margie, said in response to Jones' jailhouse comments that she believes an-eye-for-an-eye.
"I do believe there comes a time and a place when what you do -- you suffer the literal consequences for it," she told the Dallas Morning News, "And in my heart right now, unless God changes it, that's how I feel."
Jones told News 8 he understands the pain he's caused.
"And I went out and did what I did, and I'm sorry for that, but I'm not asking to accept my apology. You know what I'm saying?" Jones said. "But all I can do is pray for him, pray for his family and just hope the best for the situation."
The worst for Jones would be if the district attorney pursues the death penalty. Jones indicated he's ready for that possibility.
"Yes, I am okay with that, sir, because what I did was wrong, sir," Jones said.
The teen doesn't have an attorney yet, but certainly will get one who'll have a an uphill fight in court. Jones and Winters are both held on $1 million bail and charged with capital murder.
Winters declined an interview request.
