NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Protests against rampant street violence and government seizure of private land plagued the government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in late August. One farmer, whose repeated hunger strikes drew attention to government arrogance, died in a military hospital where he had been held against his will for nine months.
The death of Franklin Brito, 49, was announced Aug. 30 by his family, who said Brito's "fundamental human rights were violated," the Associated Press reported. "They held him in the military hospital against his will for nearly nine months," Brito's daughter Angela told reporters. "They didn't give access to doctors he trusted, even though he requested it."
Venezuelan officials say they took Brito to the hospital trying to safeguard his life and never proposed taking Brito's land, but instead tried to help him, the AP reported. They acknowledge, however, that Chavez's government over the past eight years has seized more than 5 million acres of farmland, claiming they targeted fallow or underused property with the goal of boosting food production and helping landless families.
Critics say the seizures have included working farms and are hurting food output while benefiting Chavez supporters. Brito protested the 2004 invasion of his property by other farmers who had been given permits to work adjacent land -- eventually cutting off Brito's access to his own farm.
Chavez critics accused the government of moving Brito to the military hospital in December to make his protests outside the offices of the Organization of American States less visible, the AP reported. His eight hunger strikes, which began in November 2004, included publicity stunts like sewing his mouth shut and cutting off a finger in front of television cameras.
Two days before Brito's death was announced, an estimated 1,500 people marched through Caracas to protest dramatic increases in street violence, the AP reported.
Venezuela has one of Latin America's highest murder rates, with the government acknowledging more than 12,000 homicides nationwide in the first 11 months of 2009, the AP reported. The Venezuelan Violence Observatory, a public interest group that researches crime, estimated the country saw more than 16,000 homicides that year -- up from fewer than 6,000 when Chavez took office in 1999. That would give Venezuela a homicide rate of 56 per 100,000 people -- far higher than drug-violent Mexico's 14 per 100,000, but lower than El Salvador's 71 homicides per 100,000 people, the AP said.
In a televised speech, Chavez dismissed criticism that he has failed to take significant action on crime. "They want to attribute the violence to me," Chavez said, according to the AP. "Violence is one of the visible and terrible effects of social injustice, of capitalism, of the model the bourgeoisie imposed on us."
BAPTISTS IN ISRAEL CELEBRATE 100 YEARS -- Baptists in Israel will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Baptist work in the Holy Land with a May 12-14, 2011, event in Nazareth, the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel announced Aug. 25.
"We would like to invite you to come and celebrate with us the momentous 100th anniversary of Baptist beginnings in the Holy Land," the announcement said. "While we will be reviewing our historical beginnings at this event, we will also seek to discern God's calling for the future."
The program will include both local and international speakers and worship singers, as well as "a unique opportunity to learn more about what God is doing within the Baptist and evangelical churches in Israel today," the announcement said. The celebration is being sponsored by the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel, the Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary and Nazareth Baptist School.
Baptist work in Israel dates to the spring of 1911, when Baptist churches in southern Illinois sent a Palestinian, Shukri Musa, "back to his people in Safed," according to a 50-year history of the work written by Dwight L. Baker. One young man, Louis Hanna, accepted Christ and was baptized May 10, 1911, "in the stream that flows through Wadi el Lemun (Valley of the Lemon), near Safed."
The main event will be held May 12-14, 2011, at the Golden Crown Hotel in Nazareth. A related tour package also is being offered. For more information, e-mail email@example.com or visit www.baptist.org.il.
MOZAMBIQUE RIOTS SIGN OF GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS -- Food riots in Mozambique symbolize the frustration of poor people in many countries -- from Asia to Europe -- with a recent spike in world food prices, a United Nations office said Sept. 1.
According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, international food prices increased 5 percent in July and August to their highest levels in two years, the Associated Press reported. The agency also forecast the 2010 wheat crop would be down 5 percent over 2009 because of a drought in Russia.
The price of a loaf of bread in Mozambique rose 25 percent over the past year, and fuel and water costs also have risen, the AP said. Police in Mozambique's capital, Maputo, opened fire Sept. 1 when protesters began throwing stones, burning tires and looting shops. The government urged calm, saying the high prices were caused by a drop in the global value of the country's currency.
The AP article also cited examples of other turmoil over sharp increases in food prices:
-- Egypt: Recent protests over rising food prices left at least one person dead in a country where half the population depends on subsidized bread.
-- Pakistan: Recent devastating floods destroyed a fifth of the country's crops and agricultural infrastructure, sending the price of many food items up 15 percent or more.
-- Serbia: Trade unions warn of demonstrations if a planned 30 percent increase in the price of cooking oil is implemented.
The U.N. agency said food supplies are sufficient in the United States, Canada and other countries and warned against panicked policy decisions, like banning exports, the AP reported. Higher food prices set by Mozambique's government were based on monetary exchange issues, not concerns about world supplies, the agency said.
Marc Van Ameringen, executive director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, noted malnutrition causes stunted growth in 44 percent of Mozambican children and nearly 20 percent of those under 5 are underweight, the AP reported. More than 1 billion people around the world are chronically malnourished, and another 1 billion don't get proper nutrition.
IRAN'S LEADERS FACE GROWING OPPOSITION -- Iran's leaders are unable to manage the country's many problems and have lost legitimacy in the people's eyes, with the result that they now face a growing opposition and are openly fighting with one another, an experienced observer of the country said Aug. 24 in a Wall Street Journal column.
"The Iranian regime loves to boast of its military strength, international clout and hold on domestic power," wrote Michael Ledeen of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. "Much of this is accepted by outside experts, but in fact the regime is in trouble."
Ledeen cited the recent resignations of officers in the military's elite Revolutionary Guard because of their support for the opposition "Green Movement," as well as the defection of several journalists from the Guards' FARS news agency. He also pointed to a series of attacks against Iran's petroleum industry, supposedly by the opposition with "inside" assistance.
According to Ledeen, the opposition is fed by social and economic problems: unemployment as high as 45 percent in some regions, unsafe drinking water in Tehran, widespread electrical failures, long lines at gas stations and a shortage of compressed natural gas.
In response to the mounting pressure, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reaffirmed his authority with a "fatwa" declaring his opinions had a status equal to those of the prophet Muhammad, Ledeen wrote. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also tried to buttress his support by apparently fabricating a story of an assassination attempt on his motorcade.
Meanwhile, opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi boldly launch verbal attacks on the regime, Ledeen noted. When the head of the powerful Guardian Council recently accused Green Movement leaders of receiving money from the Saudis and the Americans, Karroubi retorted: "If I am a conspirator because I object [to the rigged presidential election], then you are a partner of those who stole this nation's vote and are disloyal to the nation."
"Challenges to the regime now come even from prisoners," Ledeen concluded. "When Mr. Ahmadinejad challenged Barack Obama to a debate this month, a Green Movement website reported with grim admiration that five journalists in Tehran's infamous Evin Prison had invited Mr. Ahmadinejad to come to jail and debate them.
"Very little of this news reaches a mass Western audience, and one wonders to what extent Western governments understand what's going on," Ledeen added. "If they do, their failure to support the democratic revolutionaries is all the more lamentable."

Village design statements 'a credit' to villagers
2:25pm Friday 15th February 2013 in News
VILLAGE design statements for Durrington, Winterslow and Swallowcliffe have been approved by Wiltshire Council, meaning they will be taken into consideration when planning applications are put forward within those communities.
The council's southern area planning committee accepted the documents at a meeting held on Thursday, with members and planning officers praising the efforts of villagers in forming the plans.
Cllr Chris Devine said: "All three of these are a credit to the people who put them together."
The statements are prepared by local communities as a way of offering a framework for engaging local people in debate about defining the character of the area they live in and ensuring that any new development is in keeping with that character.

Queen's, city partner on spring move-out initiatives
Students have been on the move throughout April and the annual spring move-out is expected to wind up this weekend as students return home or move to new locations in the city. Again this year, the university has partnered with the city, local businesses and St. Lawrence College to provide information to assist students with their move.
"We have worked closely with the city and other partners to provide practical information that students need," says Roxy Denniston-Stewart, Associate Dean of Student Affairs. "There are many details to be attended to during what is already a very, very busy time as they finish final assignments and exams. We want the moving period to be as seamless as possible for both the students and the community."
A Moving Marketplace will be held in the JDUC April 28-30. The marketplace will include the collection of food for the AMS foodbank, as well as the collection of clothes, hazardous waste, electronic waste, bicycles and bicycle parts, books and personal hygiene items.
The city's waste transfer station will remain open for extended hours on Saturday, April 28. The City of Kingston Giveaway Day, held on April 21, allowed students and others to get rid of larger items such as furniture, small appliances, electronics and kitchen items that they no longer needed and did not want to throw out.
Other coordinated services offered for students include:
• Door to door food collection and distribution of informational doorknob hangers in the near campus neighbourhood.
• Selling moving materials (boxes, tape, etc.) in the JDUC in the weeks leading up to the end of April.
• Charity clothing and food donation pick-up in residence lounges.
For more information about spring move-out, visit the special page on the City of Kingston's website.

An East Texas man has bonded out of jail after police said he fired a pistol several times from the roof of a downtown Tyler building.
According to the Tyler Police Department, 22-year-old Joseph Scott Mendoza was released from jail Friday morning on a $1,000 bond.
The incident happened around 11:40 Thursday night at the Fair Foundation building located at 121 S. Broadway Avenue. City of Tyler officials confirm they own the building.
Fortunately, police were in the area and heard the shots.
"We made contact with some construction workers that were working on the parking garage there at Broadway and Elm and they advised us that they had observed some subjects on top of the Fair building," said Officer Don Martin with the Tyler Police Department.
Martin said using the description the workers had given them, police were able to locate Mendoza within minutes. Martin said police pulled Mendoza over and searched his vehicle.
"We did locate a gun and realized he was the one that actually went up there and discharged the firearm. We didn't see any damage to anything. We had no one who actually saw them shooting at anyone, so the only charge we had at the time was discharging a firearm within the city limits, which is a class C misdemeanor and then at the time he was stopped he was driving down the wrong side of the street so he was charged with a traffic violation as well," Martin explained.
Martin said Mendoza and three other men used the building's fire escape to get to the roof.
Martin said Mendoza could face an additional charge of criminal trespassing, and while the other men do not face any charges at this time, they too could eventually be charged with criminal trespassing.
Tyler Police said they are working to secure the fire escape to make sure nothing like this happens again.

Cobb County's Support Services Agency is getting an overhaul to increase operational flexibility and to keep the agency up to date with current technological standards.
A presentation was delivered by Support Services Agency Director Virgil Moon during the meeting on Tuesday morning outlining the proposed changes.
According to the presentation, the Support Services Agency worked hand in hand with the Finance Department and the County Manager to ensure that the reshuffling was budget neutral; in fact, the plan will bring some savings to the county.
Under the proposed changes, agency information services will take on the additional responsibilities of records management and mail services. Moon said that because records and correspondence are becoming increasingly digital that these functions should be transferred to information services' purview.
Fleet services, which is responsible for over 1,700 county vehicles and a budget of over $3 million, will see its division manager upgraded to a department director and have an according rise in grade. Currently, fleet services are under the auspices of the purchasing department.
The purchasing department should take a more important role in the bidding process, Moon said. According to Moon, there are 158 projects expected in the next four to five years, with a total budget of around $18 million. The purchasing department will lose responsibility of fleet services and the director position will lose some grades, but its importance to the county in the bidding process will be enhanced by a move to the Cobb Government Building in Marietta Square.
The property management department will undergo a major shakeup under the new proposal. The senior project manager position will cease to exist and be replaced by a new property division manager, a currently vacant post. The senior facility project manager and the operations maintenance manager positions will be replaced by property division manager positions.
It is estimated that these changes will save the county $2,034 in FY2012 and $1,579 in FY2013.

Were you aware that there are 88,0321 residents here and, as one of them, your Roswell home has a 1 in 2054 chance of being burglarized? There are many things that affect the odds of this happening to you, but there is one choice that puts the odds in your favor. Based on academic research, your home is 3 times less likely3 to be targeted by burglars when it has a home security system, such as those professionally monitored by ADT.
You shouldn't hold off on getting an ADT monitored security system because of the expense. A burglary usually is a greater expense than a year of home security monitoring from ADT. Roswell loses an average of $943,800 every year because of home invasions. And you stand to lose $2,200 if your home is robbed, which is equal to about 5 years of basic monitoring. It's time to seriously consider installing a home security system with ADT monitoring.

Here's a matchup to watch in the Week 15 game between the Patriots and Packers:
Patriots' passing game vs. Packers' secondary
New England's offense has been dynamic and unstoppable during its current five-game winning streak. Tom Brady is holding a 132.5 passer rating while throwing 15 touchdowns and zero interceptions in the last five games. WRs Wes Welker and Deion Branch have excelled as well, each seeing their numbers skyrocket during the recent surge.
The Patriots have passed every test that has come their way, racking up points against top defenses, beating the likes of the Bears, Jets, Steelers, Chargers and Ravens.
This Sunday they get another stiff test from the Packers' secondary and their third-ranked passing defense. Most of the time, Green Bay comes out in a nickel defense, and it will need all the secondary help it can get against Brady, who has no problem stretching the field with Brandon Tate or going up the seam to one of his rookie tight ends.
Charles Woodson has had his share of lapses, most recently getting beat by Calvin Johnson, but he's still a great cover corner and a threat for a pick-six. Tramon Williams has been great and did a superb job covering Johnson last week. He has five interceptions this season. Sam Shields, the team's third corner, has also been reliable this season.
At safety, Nick Collins is a solid, speedy veteran, and Charlie Peprah is a physical player but not great against the pass. They will be counted on to help cover the tight ends, as well as Welker, who gets moved around the field to set up advantageous matchups.
With Matt Flynn at the helm for the Pack, it will need to bring its best defensive game, like what it brought in a 9-0 win over the Jets, to make this a game in Foxborough. The best way to do that is for the secondary to slow down Brady and the Pats' passing game and force them into three-and-outs. Brady almost threw three interceptions against the Bears, so it's certainly possible for him to toss an errant ball. If that happens, the Packers need to be ready for it.

The staff made us feel special. Any time we were in need of a staff member, they were there in a NY minute. Having breakfast served every morning on the veranda by our butler, Dominick, was a fantasy come true. We always had a bowl of fresh fruit and fresh flowers in our room. Every day at 4:30 Dominick would deliver hor doerves, sandwiches, desserts to our room. This was wonderful as we chose the late dinner.
The food was excellent. The regular dining was special. I cannot think of one meal or item that was disappointing. It was all great. We also dined at 2 specialty restaurants Murano's and Tuscan Grill. Those dinners were special and the service was spectacular.
The only thing I did not care for was the entertainment. When I first heard the performers who played the lounges and around the pool, I thought they were wonderful...but after Day 5, I was bored with the same acts over and over again. Also, I am not a Cirque de Soleil fan, and many of the shows featured that type of entertainment. The best performer on the ship was Mario (I cannot remember his last name, sorry Mario). Mario plays a mean guitar and has a wonderfully entertaining way with the audience. I could have watched him every night without getting bored. He performed at 2 of the shows.
I loved all the ports except Naples. This was my second time there and the second time I was robbed. Be aware. I was texting and my phone was ripped out of my hands by a thief who was sitting on the back of a scooter. He was able to make a quick get-away.
To sum it up, the next time I book a cruise, it will be on Celebrity. I am their #1 Fan.

A Vanceboro woman employed as a tax clerk with the City of New Bern has been charged with embezzlement.
28-year-old Susan Rae Sutton is charged with two felony counts of Embezzlement by a Public Officer or Trustee. One charge is for March through November, 2011; the other for January through May, 2012.
Sutton turned herself in April 9 and was released on her written promise to appear. She made a first appearance Wednesday in Craven County District Court.
Embezzlement by a Public Officer or Trustee is a Class F felony. It carries a maximum punishment of 16-20 months imprisonment per count.
District Attorney Scott Thomas said, "The City of New Bern contacted my office in mid-2012 to report suspected embezzlement at the tax office. I contacted the State Bureau of Investigation to have them conduct the investigation. They have completed their investigation and developed probable cause to charge Ms. Sutton with two felony counts of embezzlement by a public officer or trustee. The warrants alleged that she embezzled $ 5,766.22 in 2011, and $ 3,270.05 in 2012."
Sutton is due back in court on June 5.

In 1987, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust faithfully restored the historic Stanley Theatre, a movie house once billed as "Pittsburgh's Palace of Amusement," as part of an ongoing transformation of the city's downtown into a thriving Cultural District. The Trust opened this stunning state-of-the-art playhouse as the Benedum Center, which today stands as the home of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, and Pittsburgh Opera, among other national touring productions, and is prestigiously listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Benedum Center, which seats 2,890, and hosts over a half-million visitors each year, is one of the busiest venues in the country. After two decades of operation, and based upon usage and volume of visitors, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust responded to the needs for modernizing the theater's assistive listening system and began seeking funding for the new system. After receiving a generous grant from the FISA Foundation, a Pittsburgh foundation that works to improve the lives of women, girls, and people with disabilities in southwestern Pennsylvania, the Trust began work on the new system.
So it was natural for Chris Evans, the Benedum's sound engineer, to contact the supplier of the original system, Sennheiser, for an upgrade. Using their new generation of IR gear, Evans replaced the existing fourteen SZI 1019 emitters with an equal number of the newer SZI 1029 and SZI 1029-10 IR emitters and paired them with an SI 1015 IR modulator. The SI 1015 uses a higher sub-carrier frequency, 2.3MHz and 2.8MHz instead of the 95kHz and 250kHz with the older system, this allows for greater bandwidth while keeping the production friendly aspects of infrared.
"It was a conscious decision to continue to use infrared based assistive listening system over the RF based systems," Evans says. "In the theater world, infrared assistive listening systems are benign from a production standpoint." Hampered by an inability to relocate emitter suspension points used in the older system due to the center's architectural restrictions, Evans had to use the existing infrastructure to make the new system work. Evans contacted California-based IR expert, Jim Brown of Audio Systems Group, to lay out the system.
In the new system, four suspension points on the theatre's ceiling hold arrays of two SZI 1029 emitters. The additional six emitters are each suspended individually. "We had to figure out a way to array the emitters from the existing ceiling suspension points," Evans says. "So we doubled up on eight of the emitters from a series of specially designed brackets made to hold the 20-pound arrays securely over the seating areas. Typically, you hang one panel, but by arraying them we were able to expand the system's coverage pattern and eliminate the need for another suspension point."
The new Sennheiser emitters, modulator and receivers give Evans the ability to operate a two-channel, wide band system. One channel delivers program audio to traditional stethoscope-style receivers worn by individuals with hearing impairments. Another separate channel delivers audio description for those with visual impairments. The system uses HDI 302 and RI 250-J receivers from Sennheiser, the latter being one that allows either a headphone or an inductive loop to be plugged into it.
"We've tried to make the new system as flexible as possible in as much as it could accommodate people with a variety of disabilities. Those with hearing aids with telecoils use the inductive loop attachments, or if someone has their own headphones or ear buds they can use those. And of course the traditional stethoset is also available," Evans adds.
With the new system in place, Evans notes that the Benedum is well positioned to continue offering all Pittsburghers the opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of the historic theatre. "Sennheiser makes a great product; out of all the IR systems on the market they make the best," he says. "One of the traditional problems with all systems of this type is that manufacturers keep coming up with better mousetraps that don't work. But this new Sennheiser system works, and we made the right decision in sticking with them."

Well, we finally got a real snowstorm here at Regal-Hill that amounted to six or seven inches. Except for the winds afterward it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed watching it snow, from inside of course. I was glad to get some snow so that when it gets cold again, the ground will have a nice ground cover to protect it and keep it from freezing so hard. Hopefully we won't lose any flowers or bushes that are in the ground.
Having just celebrated Presidents' Day Monday it is time once again to see how well we know our American history with a quiz about our past presidents and their wives. You will probably know all the answers but I hope it will be fun.
I. Match the First Lady with the statement.
_____1. Was first married to a wealthy tobacco heir who
was 20 years her senior.
Our dog Buster, a Beagle mix, has finally decided to come in the house. He came here about eight years ago. He actually picked us by showing up here at the farm and wouldn't go away once George saw him and fed him.
It has been an interesting day weatherwise here. The road was bare and the sun even tried to shine on and off. I started for town and by the time I got down to the county line the road was white and the snow squall was so bad that I couldn't see far at all ahead of me, so I put the lights on bright. Within probably 10 minutes the snow stopped, but all the way to the state road there was quite a blanket of snow on the road.
About the first of January I took two different amaryllis out of storage and started watering them again in the hopes of them growing leaves and also blossoming. So far I have only real tall green leaves and no sight of even the beginnings of any blossoms. I have faithfully watered them, had them in bright sunlight and turned them every few days to encourage symmetrical growth.
For a number of years we have not had a pet in the house. In fact we haven't had a dog in the house since we had to have our dog, Ebony, put to sleep. He loved the farm and especially George. I didn't realize how nice a dog he was until he was gone, even though I had to clean up cow manure and dirt off the couch or chairs after he had been in the house.
by Gail Hillriegel
Well, we just finished the last birthday before Christmas here at Regal-Hill. Yes, George just had his birthday. Allegra made his cake, an orange-raisin kind that his mother used to make. Then I just made an ordinary uncooked white frosting for it.
Well, it's time to begin planning your Christmas dinner unless you have been invited to someone else's home. Here at Regal-Hill we will either be here or across the road. If it is icy we will be here since I don't go outside when it's slippery. Either way we all share the work of preparing Christmas dinner. This makes it much easier for all the cooks who include Allegra, her mother and myself.
We continue to get ready for Christmas here at Regal-Hill. Some Christmas breads and cookies have been made and hopefully more of both will be made before Christmas. It just came to me that I hadn't made plans to make pineapple-filled cookies that I have made every year in the past, and everyone here loves.
Now that the decorating is done here at Regal-Hill, it is time to write out the Christmas cards. In the past it has been a big job as I sent 60 plus cards. According to the 2009 Christmas Shopper, the start of sending Christmas cards began in 1843 by Sir Henry Cole. It seems he was inspired by examples of Valentine's Day cards that had been popular in England.

The Missouri Tigers kept pace with the Kansas Jayhawks in the race for the Big 12 regular season title. Wednesday's 83-65 victory over the Oklahoma St. Cowboys has the Tigers in a first-place tie with Kansas at 11-2.
Scoring came in almost equal parts for the Tigers. Senior guard Marcus Denmon led Missouri with 17 points while Ricardo Ratliffe added 15 points and had a game-high 12 rebounds. Guards Kim English and Phil Pressey each put in 13 points, but the latter pulled down seven rebounds and dished the ball out for seven assists. Some of the night's best shooting came from Michael Dixon who scored 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting.
Keiton Page did his best for the Cowboys by scoring 23 points, but he distanced himself in that category by the time the buzzer ended the game. Michael Cobbins and Le'Bryan Nash put in 12 and 11 points, respectively, to round out Oklahoma St.'s double-digit scorers.
Missouri visits the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, a team they beat earlier in the season, 70-51.

[Editor's note: The following is a collection of essays on the critical overestimation of No Country for Old Men, by Lincoln Flynn, Stacia Kissick Jones, and Alan Pyke.]
No Country for Old Men? Overrated!!!
When the Coen brothers' eponymous film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel No Country for Old Men was released in 2007, it received near-universal critical acclaim; after the subpar efforts Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers, it indicated an artistic comeback for its directors.
In general, the honed and virtuosic filmmaking skills of the Coens, combined with their postmodern storytelling sensibilities, give their detractors reason to call them talented but glib. Yet with No Country, the Coens-as-adaptors had ostensibly harnessed their usual instincts in the service of McCarthy's source material, while using their talents as directors to make it a dynamic and multifaceted movie that had proved their salt as genuine auteurs.
Though many consider No Country to be an untouchable classic in the Coens' oeuvre, it remains tonally flawed. Consequently—and at the risk of putting "my soul at hazard" by receiving invective from die-hard fans of the Coens and No Country—I consider it to be overrated and feel that A Serious Man and the Coens' True Grit adaptation are more artistically successful later career films.
Effectively, No Country's plot can be divided into two parts. The first part tells of the flight and pursuit of Llewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin) by Texas Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) and psychotic hit-man Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) after Moss takes money from the scene of a drug-deal-related massacre. The second part resolves the three-tiered chase and further develops Bell's melancholic nature.
Well within the Coens' wheelhouse, the first part is basically a thriller that incorporates aspects of film noir and the western and is filmed or stylized in an artful and "resplendently austere" manner. The violence is gruesome, the editing is efficient, and the action and humor are darkly entertaining. The second part, on the other hand, is more restrained and less gruesome and humorous, in order to amplify the tragic and bleak resolution of the story.
This dichotomization of No Country is my main issue with the film: if Sheriff Bell's resigned fear of entropy is where the basic theme of No Country lies, and if that fear is exemplified by the mayhem that is instigated by Llewellyn and Anton in the first half of the movie, then why did the Coens decide to represent that violence as slick and thrilling Grand Guignol? This is an inconsistency that makes the two parts of No Country incongruous and its resolution less devastating and resonant than it should be.
As I understand the character of Sheriff Bell, he doesn't see anything fun or exciting in any of the chaos that he observes as a person and lawman. To him it is soul crushing and proof of the absence of God or any greater, noble meaning. Therefore, the film's violence shouldn't be kinetic or vivid. Likewise, if Bell's saturnine worldview is thematically important in the end, then why is his apathy used as a source of much of the film's gallows humor? This aspect feels appropriate to the Coens' style but inappropriate to the story's point.
When talking to a friend about the most recent James Bond film, she joked that "another name for Skyfall could've been No Country for Old Women." Both No Country for Old Men and Skyfall feature Javier Bardem playing relentless villains who wear odd coiffures; also, both films were shot by cinematographer Roger Deakins. Moreover, both films have older authoritarian characters, played by Tommy Lee Jones and Judi Dench,, who respectively underscore the similar theses of each movie. Yet, as Skyfall is a franchise movie that had the added bonus of being dramatic and exquisitely made, for me No Country for Old Men is a well crafted yet thematically compromised art house version of a Terminator movie.--Lincoln Flynn

This film has diminished every time I've viewed it. So, yeah, it's kinda one of those.
Chris | March 27, 2013 6:28 PM
Do you even know what the word "eponymous" means?
Elijah Davidson | March 27, 2013 4:45 PM
All three negative critiques seem to hinge on one point - NCFOM's cinematic style and/or narrative structure undercut any meaning. However, that's entirely the point of the film. There is no meaning, just as there is no meaning in life. Any meaning in life that could be is foiled by the events of life.
The best treatment of this film that I have read was written by a New Testament professor, J.R. Daniel Kirk. You can read his interpretation of the film at Reel Spirituality. Search for "No Country for Old Qoheleth."

"As I understand the character of Sheriff Bell, he doesnât see anything fun or exciting in any of the chaos that he observes as a person and lawman. To him it is soul crushing and proof of the absence of God or any greater, noble meaning. Therefore, the filmâs violence shouldnât be kinetic or vivid."
I'm not getting the A-to-B logic here. The violence in NCFOM is indeed captivating, but that does not equate to being *fun*. Chigurh's actions aren't endorsed. It's simply that their being alluring illustrates that chaos can be...kind of sexy. Dangerously so, to the point where giving in to temptation will result in your destruction. To run with your ideas about God: maybe characters like Chigurh existing doesn't just represent the absence of God, but the presence of the Devil. Everyone wants to give in and party alongside the devil sometimes, though they know it's the morally incorrect choice.
What I'm getting at overall, I guess, is that while I think a modern director like Fincher has huge problems with representing the supposedly "Bad" actions in his films as far too much fun, resulting in thematic contradiction, the Coen's articulation of violence in NCFOM doesn't have those problems.
Changing gears: I'm cool with the idea of critical reevaluation and all that on the surface but this seems like a humongous waste of an opportunity for Coen Bros. week. They have so many great films and instead a fifth of this series is put towards (admittedly well-written) takedowns. Why not just make the day about Blood Simple. and why that film is so great instead of evaluating it ONLY in relation to No Country? The worst violation in all of this: using the word "overrated." Really? I thought it was such common knowledge among film critic circles now that reducing assessment down to that word and acting as if there's some officially ruled-upon critical consensus is all but detestable. I expect more careful word choice from Press Play.
Steven Awalt | March 27, 2013 2:38 PM
Interesting takes on the film, and it's good to read Jones's appreciation of "Blood Simple," a nearly neglected film in the Coen's work more often than not. This one thought struck me as a polar opposite of my reaction to "No Country," though:
"Ambiguity in No Country, such as not showing a key death or ending a scene abruptly, is not meant to lead the audience to fill in points of the narrative themselves, but rather to allow the filmmakers to limit the emotions available to the audience. It's artifice designed specifically to deny catharsis, grief or resolution, all part of the Coens' rigorous cinematic control, but at great expense to realism."
Spot on, right until the last part of that last sentence, the "...at great expense to realism."
For me, I thought that the narrative-neutering artifice was completely confounding to the cinematic experience, or maybe the "cinematic realism" in that the lack of resolution for audience's expectations and even our emotions felt more of disjointed "real life" than cinematic life. In most movies, we expect more narrative resolution than life would ever bother to offer us, and the Coens methodically, cruelly and with sure intention deny us any form of resolution. They leave us instead with the unanswerable moral quandaries Tommy Lee Jones, Barry Corbin and Rodger Boyce discuss at various points in the film, and little else.
On first viewing, my expectations lead me to feel truly miffed at the Coen's bald audacity; on further reflection and viewings, I revel in it. I don't know if that in itself is reason enough to praise the film to the rafters, especially since they did spend so long setting up what seemed to be a traditionally-told narrative, only to cut audiences off at the knees, but damn if it isn't richer than wrapping the whole film up in a neat package would have likely been.

This might be the strangest argument I've ever heard: "As I understand the character of Sheriff Bell, he doesnât see anything fun or exciting in any of the chaos that he observes as a person and lawman. To him it is soul crushing and proof of the absence of God or any greater, noble meaning. Therefore, the filmâs violence shouldnât be kinetic or vivid."
Really hoping this post is to be followed with some reaffirmations of the brilliance of NCFOM... (Jeffrey Overstreet, are you there?)

DUNLAP, Ill -- Nearly five months after the death of one of their own, Dunlap High School is taking drug awareness to another level.
"The top three threats in the Peoria and surrounding areas are going to be synthetic drugs, prescription drugs, and the heroin," said Rene Sandoval, the Director of the Multi-County Narcotics Enforcement Group (MEG).
Sandoval said he has seen first hand how parent education can stop drug use in its tracks.
"There was a mother of a 16-year-old boy that became educated," said Sandoval. "(She) didn't know what the name of all the K2 or spice or all the other names were, but her son happened to get a package from FEDEX, opens up the package and this is what was in it. She ended up calling law enforcement, we came over and actually took possession of this."
Sandoval said what some parents don't realize is that hard core drugs can be very accessible to teens in rural areas.
It was just five months ago that 16-year-old Josh Olt got his hands on heroin and died in his Dunlap home of an overdose. Since then his mother, Dr. Tamara Olt, has been educating herself about the problem.
"Still miss him of course, but its helped I've been busy trying to make a difference," said Dr. Olt.
After Josh's death in April, she started the JOLT foundation in honor of her son. The foundation will be, in part, a nalaxone distribution program--a drug that could save the life of someone who overdoses.
Dr. Olt said, "Naloxone is the opioid antidote, so it reverses opioid and heroin overdoses."
She says she would like to see the drug in the hands of family members of anyone who is using or has a history of using. Dr. Olt hopes through education and prevention tools no other mother will have to tell a similar story.
"Its here, look. Parents, teens--its here, we need to do something," she said.
MEG Director Renee Sandoval, along with several other community representatives from law enforcement to intervention, will be on hand Thursday night at Dunlap High School to teach parents, students, teachers, and community members the dangers of drug use
The "Parent Awareness on Drugs and Alcohol" Program will be from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Anyone wanting information can call the high school at 243- 7751.

Volunteers began cooking 175 turkeys at 7 p.m. Monday night in preparation for the Durham Rescue Mission's Annual Christmas Community Dinner.
The Christmas dinner is the rescue's second-largest event of the year next to their Thanksgiving dinner.
Over 500 volunteers set up and served Christmas dinner to the area's homeless and less fortunate on Tuesday. Doors opened to the needy at 12 p.m.
Other events took place before, during and after the dinner. The Moravian Brass Band performed and Miss North Carolina, Johna Edmonds, helped with the toy giveaway.
Volunteers handed out toys, groceries, food and clothing to thousands of children and families.
Nine-year-old Lauren Sullivan was among those handing out toys. She collected 514 toys for the event.
"I wanted to help out," Lauren said. "I wanted to help kids because a lot of homeless kids, they don't have a lot of presents on Christmas."
Lauren's mother, Kristin Sullivan, said instead of presents and a party for her birthday -- which falls on Dec. 12 -- Lauren wanted to help out.
"She actually told me she wanted to feed the homeless and get a set of bongos," Sullivan said. "So mom and dad handled the bongos, and she handled the 500 toys for the Durham Rescue Mission."
The Rescue Mission had a shortage of toys for boys and girls ages 10-12, but thanks to last minute donations, it is in good shape.
During Tuesday's event, over 12,000 toys were given away to at-risk children and more than 8,000 articles of clothing and 1,500 bags of groceries were also handed out.
For more information, visit the Durham Rescue Mission's website.

That's unfortunate. We've only ever been there for dinner and had no service issues. Their food is really good. The person in the back might have been the chef busy cooking. He does come out sometimes. More than a few of the downtown restaurants suffer from less-than-desirable service.

'The commuters have Twitter so they know more than me about delays' - a train driver speaks (From Borehamwood Times)
Get involved: send your pictures, video & news by texting BOREHAMWOOD to 80360, or upload here
'I hate being stuck as much as the next guy' - confessions of a First Capital Connect driver
Updated 4:34pm Thursday 14th February 2013 in News
Every year, over three million people travel through Elstree and Borehamwood station to get to work in central London. Commuters constantly complain about the delays to the train service - so Borehamwood Times reporter Anna Slater spent the afternoon in a train cab with a driver and met First Capital Connect staff to find out more about the delays.
In the early 1900s, the gentle chug of the steam train as it rolled into the station was a gateway to another universe.
For those who had never travelled further than their village shop, it was the sound of promise, the sound of excitement, the sound of a world filled with endless possibilities.
But time has made us weary, and the breezy chatter that once filled the platform has now been replaced with an electronic voice, which is 'sorry to announce the 12.43 from Hendon is delayed by nine minutes'.
After countless calls to First Capital Connect, to find out more about the signal failure at Blackfriars or when the train at Borehmwood is likely to be on the move, the poor press officers must have got tired of hearing my voice.
Over the last few months, angry commuters have e-mailed me with details about another late service or to vent their anger about another packed train - and I was keen to find out why.
I might be 24-years-old but I still think of trains as being called Annie and Clarabel - so with a nostalgic wave to my Thomas the Tank Engine days, I climbed into the train cab with driver, Dave Newman, at Harpenden.
Last week, over 95 per cent of trains ran on time on the Luton to Sutton line, which runs also runs through Elstree & Borehamwood and Radlett stations.
Dave has been driving the train on this route every day for the last 12 years and loves his job, but when something go wrong he bears the brunt.
"I hate being stuck as much as the next guy," he said, as the train looped through the track to get to St Albans.
"The commuters have Twitter on their phones so know more than me during delays, I never know what is going on - which is ironic because I am the one taking the blame."
If a train breaks down or a signal fails, it can takes engineers up to half an hour to get on site and longer than that to fix the problem.
After a quick stop at Elstree and Borehamwood, the train gurgled into life again and we were off - zooming through the tracks at a speed of 90 miles an hour.
The thought of revving up to a solid 70 down the M1 is enough to make me weak at the knees - and Dave must have noticed the colour drain from my face because he said: "This is nothing - the fast trains get up to 120 miles an hour."
The soft choo-choo of the horn filled the cab as we glided through the tracks and into the tunnel, before reaching West Hampstead.
Here, I met FCC worker Derrick Kingdom - "the only manager in the world who loves it when his staff sit around twiddling their thumbs".
He led me to an impressive control room near the station. The computerised board spanning the entire wall, with multicolored dots showing where the trains are, has a very James Bond feel to it.
The guys who work here are the ones who tirelessly try to regulate the service after a track fire, signal failure or broken down train - so you lot can get home in time to catch the 7.30pm showing of EastEnders.
Trains struggle in the cold. Luckily, here in bright old Britain it rarely gets colder than 27C so the only train problems we have is when some clumsy commuter drops their suncream on the track. Oh, wait...
During last month's snow, people were left stranded in Borehamwood for up to an hour, watching train after train whizz pass them on en route to Mill Hill.
Despite the chaos outside, train controller Steve kept his cool (quite literally, it was minus ten out there) and hatched a clever plan to make sure nobody was left out in the cold.
Making the trains skip stations is actually a clever way to make the service catch up with itself. It is a complicated job and while Steve is explained it to me I was struck with how difficult running a train network actually is.
So next time you got up on the wrong side of the bed, spare a thought for the poor rail workers who are doing the best they can to make sure you get to work not a minute later than 9.01am. After all, they are only human.

Finally, please remind me next time I am standing in the cold and telling the office that I will be late yet again, as countless trains whoosh by, that I should be grateful the clever way of making trains catch up on themselves. Yes, it's called by leaving passengers waiting at the stations.
Utter tosh, and this article is both an insult to exorbitant fare-paying victims of FCC and what used to be the noble of journalism, reduced to comic-book scribbling by Anna Slater. Shame on you.

Alfred Waz says...
The commentor above, Habcaz, is quite right in what he says that, actually, more commuters are displaced, or left stranded in the cold, by FCC 'whooshing' trains that by what this process is trying to acheive. It has nothing whatsoever to do with trying to get the service back on time for the passengers benefit, and ALL to do with getting the service back on time to avoid penalty charges levied on FCC for timetable failures.
The number one priority at times of trouble should be for FCC to concentrate on getting late passengers home, NOT leaving them stranded any longer than necessary. But FCC care very little about their travelling public... This can be seen on a daily basis by their slapdash approach to a timetable, their filthy grafitti splattered tin-can trains, their random heating arrangements, the eye-watering prices... and some members of staff for whom a course in customer service wouldn't go amiss.
FCC treat the Thameslink as a cashcow, leeching every penny they can from the long suffering commuter and giving little in return. Its all about the shareholders baby.
Oh, and I'm surprised that your 'journalist' found a driver who had the ability to talk. Most of the ones that drive the trains I get on remain firmly mute, leaving passengers to suffer in silence when things go awry.
According to the FCC Twitter feed the reason drivers don't give out info at times of trouble is because they are busy driving the train. Not when its stopped in the middle of nowhere they aren't. And how hard can it be to drive and talk at the same time, its not like they have to steer.
