text: High School Books That Are Movies Movie Cliffs Notes: School Books That Have Been Adapted For the Big Screen by Shannon Vestal 9/14/13 2 Reactions 54 Shares Print 26 10 16 2 0 It's always fun to read books that are going to be made into movies, but I think we're all guilty of watching a movie instead of reading a book at some time . . . and that time was probably when you were in school. Since it's back-to-school time right now, let's reflect on the required reading books from your high school days that were adapted into film, whether you used them to ace a pop quiz or to get a broader vision of a beloved novel. Anna Karenina What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Leo Tolstoy's epic materpiece, Anna Karenina has been regaled by a few of the greatest writers of the modern age, including William Faulkner and Vladimir Nabokov. Keira Knightely starred in the British rendition of the film in 2012. Source: Universal Pictures 1 / 42 The Crucible What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Arthur Miller's play The Crucible is taught for its historical significance (the Salem witch trials at the center echo the Communist witch hunt of Miller's era), and it was brought to life in a 1996 film with Winona Ryder and Daniel Day-Lewis in the leads. Source: 20th Century Fox 2 / 42 The Great Gatsby What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The English class staple about the glittering 1920s has been translated into movies on the big and small screens, with the most recent being the glitzy Baz Luhrmann interpretation, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The film was highly modernized with visual effects and contemporary music artists. Extra credit: Another very well-known version of the movie was Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 version with Robert Redford in the title role and Mia Farrow as Daisy. Source: Paramount Pictures 3 / 42 Emma What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jane Austen's works have been adapted for film quite a bit, and in 1996, the adaptation of Emma gave Gwyneth Paltrow her breakthrough role as she portrays a young woman who's great at meddling and matchmaking. Extra credit: Just one year before Emma came out, the classic '90s comedy Clueless, a modernized version of Emma set in Beverly Hills, was released. Source: Miramax 4 / 42 Of Mice and Men What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 John Steinbeck's tale of two friends trying to get by during the Great Depression was made into a film in 1992 with John Malkovich and Gary Sinise in the two lead roles. Extra credit: A 1939 film was also made and nominated for several Oscars. Source: MGM 6 / 42 The Importance of Being Earnest What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oscar Wilde's play is read (and often performed) in school, but it got the big-screen treatment in 2002. The loyal adaptation stars Colin Firth and Rupert Everett as men pretending they're named Ernest, with Reese Witherspoon as love interest Cecily Cardew. Source: Miramax 6 / 42 Hamlet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Shakespeare's plays have been film fodder for decades, particularly Hamlet, about a Danish prince caught in a web of murder and deceit. Mel Gibson tackled the famous role in 1990, while Glenn Close played his mother. Extra credit: Two major Hamlet films have come out since Gibson's version — one, in 1996, starring Kenneth Branagh, and another in 2000, set in modern day, starring Ethan Hawke. Source: Warner Bros. 7 / 42 Lord of the Flies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 William Golding's classic novel about a group of boys stranded on an island is required reading in many schools, and in 1990, Balthazar Getty played Ralph in the adaptation, which is just as devastating as it is on the page. Extra credit: The first adaptation of Lord of the Flies was released in 1963. Source: Sony Pictures 8 / 42 The Joy Luck Club What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Amy Tan's 1989 novel is a modern classic about two generations of Chinese American women, and the film adaptation landed in 1993, with Tan herself cowriting the screenplay. Source: Disney 9 / 42 Ethan Frome What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Edith Wharton's 1911 novel is an English class staple, but it wasn't until 1993 that Liam Neeson took on the title role of a man whose life is affected by a fateful sled ride with his wife's cousin (Patricia Arquette). Source: Miramax 11 / 42 Jane Eyre What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Many former students are familiar with the story of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, published in 1847. Though the novel, about a woman who falls for a brusque man, has been adapted countless times for both TV and film, only the 2011 version boasts Michael Fassbender as Mr. Rochester. Extra credit: Anna Paquin and Charlotte Gainsbourg also play Jane Eyre at different ages in the same 1996 version. Source: 20th Century Fox 11 / 42 Wuthering Heights What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Emily Bronte's only published novel is read by many high schoolers, and the story, about two stubborn lovers on the English moors, was made into a movie in 1992 starring Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes. Extra credit: There are several other adaptations of Wuthering Heights, including a TV miniseries starring Tom Hardy, a 1939 classic with Laurence Olivier, and a modernized 2003 MTV version with Erika Christensen and Katherine Heigl. Source: Paramount Pictures 12 / 42 East of Eden What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 John Steinbeck's great American novel is a thick, decades-spanning book, but that didn't stop filmmakers from trying to adapt it in 1955, with the story significantly cut down. James Dean took on the role of Cal in this drama, which earned him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. Source: Warner Bros. 13 / 42 The Outsiders What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 adaptation of The Outsiders may be as admired as its original source material, which was written by S.E. Hinton when she was just a teenager. The film stars Thomas C. Howell as Ponyboy Curtis, a kid involved in violence between rival gangs, and it brought together many future Hollywood stars, including Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, and Rob Lowe. Source: Warner Bros. 14 / 42 To Kill a Mockingbird What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This beloved book also yielded a beloved film: the 1962 movie that stars Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, a father teaching his children about life and justice. Source: Universal Pictures 15 / 42 Romeo and Juliet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Most students still have stanzas memorized from Shakespeare's most famous play, and the familiar tale about star-crossed lovers has been translated for the screen plenty of times. Baz Luhrmann freshened it up in 1996 with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes as the leads, using rock music, erratic cinematography, and a tweaked setting. Extra credit: There are too many adaptations to name, but other famous versions include Franco Zeffirelli's traditional 1968 film and the play and 1961 film West Side Story, a modernized musical. There's also a new rendition hitting theaters this Fall, starring Hailee Steinfeld. Source: 20th Century Fox 16 / 42 Beowulf What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This Old English epic about a hero and a beast named Grendel has troubled many a high school English class, but an ambitious 2007 movie tried to make it more accessible as an action-packed movie with computer-generated graphics (and a sexy, digitized Angelina Jolie). Source: Paramount Pictures 17 / 42 Pride and Prejudice What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jane Austen's story about headstrong Elizabeth Bennet and the business of marriage in 19th century England was adapted recently in 2005, with Keira Knightley as Elizabeth. Extra credit: The 1995 BBC miniseries starring Colin Firth is also a beloved adaptation, but don't look to next year's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to help you ace any pop quizzes on the book, for obvious reasons. Source: Focus Features 18 / 42 Frankenstein What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mary Shelley's horror tale is a pop culture staple, but the original novel is a gothic thriller that the 1994 adaptation tried to re-create more faithfully (sans a green-faced, grunting monster with bolts on his neck). Kenneth Branagh plays the doctor in this version, with Robert De Niro as his production. Extra credit: Boris Karloff is responsible for the image most of us have for the monster in the 1931 movie, which was spoofed in Mel Brooks's 1974 flick Young Frankenstein. A new adaptation, starring Daniel Radcliffe, is in the very early stages of production. Source: Sony Pictures 19 / 42 The Taming of the Shrew What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Those looking for a more relatable version of Shakespeare's play might want to turn to another kind of classic: 10 Things I Hate About You. The 1999 high school comedy starring Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt revamps the story, which centers on a family with two very different daughters. Extra credit: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton headlined a more traditional telling in the Oscar-winning 1963 movie. Source: Disney 20 / 42 Little Women What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, a favorite among adolescent readers, details the deep relationship of the March sisters. The post-Civil War-era story was adapted most famously in 1994, and Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst, and Christian Bale all star. Extra credit: There is also a 1933 version with Katharine Hepburn and a 1949 version starring Elizabeth Taylor. Source: Sony Pictures 21 / 42 Gone With the Wind What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Most people are far more likely to be acquainted with the iconic 1939 best picture Oscar winner Gone With the Wind than the giant 960-page novel of the same name, but the book remains part of some schools' curriculum. The Civil War-era movie stars Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara, the stubborn daughter of a plantation owner, and Clark Gable as Rhett Butler, the man who stole her heart. Source: Warner Bros. 22 / 42 Dracula What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The original vampire book was written in 1897 by Bram Stoker, and the novel inspired countless versions of the creepy vampire himself, and in 1992, Gary Oldman portrayed the count on screen — in both his Victorian and creepy fanged looks. Extra credit: Lots of actors have taken on the role of Dracula in other versions, including Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, and Gerard Butler. Source: Sony Pictures 23 / 42 A Midsummer Night's Dream What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Shakespeare's play about fairies, forests, and love triangles is popular on stage but isn't as easy to adapt for the screen as much as the author's other works (it might be all the sprites and characters getting donkey heads). In the 1999 movie, Michelle Pfeiffer plays Titania, while Calista Flockhart and Christian Bale are two of the four lovers wrapped up in her scheme. Extra credit: In 2001, A Midsummer Night's Dream was modernized into teen comedy Get Over It starring Kirsten Dunst. In the Summer of 2013, a highly-stylized take hit the screen, directed by Joss Whedon. Source: 20th Century Fox 24 / 42 The Grapes of Wrath What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 John Steinbeck's epic 464-page novel is required reading in schools across the country. The 1940 movie, which took home two of the seven Oscars it was nominated for, features Henry Fonda as the patriarch of the Joads, a family heading west to survive during the Great Depression. Source: 20th Century Fox 25 / 42 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A very young Elijah Wood plays the title character in the film version of this Southern classic by Mark Twain. Released in 1993, it bears the slightly modified title of The Adventures of Huck Finn. Extra credit: Mickey Rooney also plays the trouble-making literary character in a 1939 film. Source: Disney 26 / 42 The Three Musketeers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alexandre Dumas's 1844 novel got quite a modern update with the effects-heavy 2011 version of this tale, which stars Logan Lerman as D'Artagnan. Despite its 3D production, the film still retains the 17th century setting. Extra credit: The Three Musketeers has been adapted several times for the big screen, including the 1948 version starring Gene Kelly and the 1993 version with Charlie Sheen and Chris O'Donnell. Source: Summit Entertainment 27 / 42 Doctor Zhivago What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This 1957 novel by Boris Pasternak recounts a love affair in the era between the Russian Revolution and World War II, and in 1965, Julie Christie and Omar Sharif starred in the adaptation, which won five Oscars. Source: MGM 28 / 42 Cyrano de Bergerac What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Steve Martin stars in Roxanne, the 1987 comedy that's a very loose adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, the classic play by Edmond Rostand. Though the movie is set in present day and the play was written in 1897, the plot, about a man whose large nose prevents him from wooing the woman he loves, remains the same. Source: Columbia Pictures 29 / 42 The Iliad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Homer's Greek epic tells the story of the Trojan War, and though the literature is some of the world's oldest, it makes for thrilling subject matter in swords-and-sandals flick Troy in 2004, with Brad Pitt as Achilles. Source: Warner Bros. 30 / 42 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ken Kesey's disturbing novel about a man terrorized in a mental institution was adapted into a film in 1975. Jack Nicholson picked up an Oscar for his portrayal of R.P. McMurphy, as did Louise Fletcher for her role as wretched Nurse Ratched — still the gold standard for scary nurse characters everywhere. Source: United Artists 31 / 42 The End of the Affair What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Another Oscar-winning adaptation, 1999's The End of the Affair took Graham Greene's tale to the big screen. Ralph Fiennes plays Maurice Bendrix, a man struggling with his decision to end his relationship with his mistress, Sarah Miles (Julianne Moore). Extra credit: Deborah Kerr stars in a 1955 movie of the same name. Source: Sony Pictures 32 / 42 Great Expectations What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alfonso Cuarón put Charles Dickens's tale of Pip and his childhood sweetheart Estella in modern-day New York City in 1998. Ethan Hawke stars as the Pip character (renamed Finn), and Gwyneth Paltrow plays Estella. Extra Credit: A more loyal version of Great Expectations is set to be released this year with Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham. Source: 20th Century Fox 33 / 42 Nicholas Nickleby What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One of Charles Dickens's many stories adapted for the big screen, Nicholas Nickleby is about a young Englishman fighting for his family's survival after his father passes away. The title character is portrayed by Charlie Hunnam in the 2002 version. Source: United Artists 34 / 42 The Odyssey What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For students who would rather not trudge through Homer's epic The Odyssey, there's always O Brother, Where Art Thou?. Instead of ancient times, the 2000 retelling of the journey story stars George Clooney and is set in the Deep South in the 1930s. Extra credit: Those who want to ace their tests would probably be better off with the 1997 version produced by Francis Ford Coppola. Source: Disney 35 / 42 Othello What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Not only is Othello one of Shakespeare's most popular plays to read, but it's also one of his most adapted works. The bitter story between friends/rivals Othello and Iago was made into a film in 1995 starring Laurence Fishburne and Kenneth Branagh. Extra credit: Mekhi Phifer and Josh Hartnett portrayed the dueling duo in the 2001 adaptation, O, set in high school. There have also been multiple big-screen and made-for-TV renditions throughout the years, including Orson Welles's 1952 movie. Source: Sony Pictures 36 / 42 Pygmalion What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It may go by a different name, but eight-time Oscar winner My Fair Lady is based on George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play. The 1964 movie has Audrey Hepburn in one of her most famous roles, Eliza Doolittle, a common Londoner who is taught manners by the strict Professor Higgins (Rex Harrison). Extra credit: Though they aren't quite traditional takes, 1990's Pretty Woman and 1997's She's All That are loosely based on Shaw's play. Source: Warner Bros. 37 / 42 The Scarlet Letter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nathaniel Hawthorne penned this American classic about Hester Prynne, a woman who has an affair with a pastor and when she has their child, she's forced to wear a red "A" on her clothing. Tenth-grade boys everywhere are pleased to find the even more scandalous 1995 movie starring Demi Moore. Extra credit: In 2010, Emma Stone and Penn Badgley starred in a modernized version, which where Emma fell victim to the high school rumor mill. Source: Disney 38 / 42 Sense and Sensibility What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 1995, Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson costarred in Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen's famous novel about two sisters left in the lurch when their father passes away, leaving them without an inheritance. The book is lovely . . . but the movie has Hugh Grant. Source: Sony Pictures 39 / 42 Vanity Fair What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Reese Witherspoon plays Becky Sharp, a woman intent on becoming a part of London's upper class after growing up poor, in 2004's adaptation of the book, which was written in 1847 by William Makepeace Thackeray. Source: Focus Features 40 / 42 Gulliver's Travels What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jonathan Swift's adventure novel dates all the way back to the early 1700s, but it was just recently in 2010 that the story was updated for a younger audience. Jack Black took a crack at playing Lemuel Gulliver (whose character became a travel writer instead of an explorer), the man who discovers a strange island, then is captured by its tiny inhabitants. Extra credit: Ted Danson also plays the role in a more by-the-book 1996 TV movie, and there's also a 1939 animated film. Source: Disney 41 / 42 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One of Mark Twain's quintessential works, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, is read in classrooms around the country. In the 1995 movie Tom and Huck, a young (and adorable) Jonathan Taylor Thomas portrays the crafty kid who makes painting fences look fun. Extra credit: For a little added fun, you can check out the 1973 Oscar-nominated musical, Tom Sawyer.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday condemned the ongoing massacre of Syrian civilians by President Bashar Assad, blaming the violence on the Axis of Evil: Iran, Syria and Hezbollah.
"This axis is rearing its ugly head," Netanyahu told his cabinet, "and the world must understand that this is the region we live in."
We see the horrible pictures of the children and elderly
This is a massacre that is being carried outnot only at the hands of the government of Syria
Those assisting the Syrian government areIran and the Hezbollah
And the world needs to see todaythe focused axis of evil
Iran, Syria, Hezbollah
And the face of this axis of evilis revealed in its full ugliness
Everyone should understandwhat environment we are living in
At least 35 people were killed in Syrian army bombardment over the last 24 hours in a clashes taking place in the rural province of Homs, the epicentre of the revolt against Assad, opposition activists said on Sunday.
The prime minister's condemnation joins a growing chorus of anti-Syria rhetoric from the political establishment, with Vice Premier Shaul Mofaz, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and President Shimon Peres all attacking Assad on Sunday for his crimes against civilians.
At the start of the weekly meeting, Netanyahu said that Syrian forces are killing innocents, including women and children.
The prime minister tied the massacres to Iran and Hezbollah, who he claimed are providing the Syrian president with assistance.
Israel had until recently been slow to call for Assad's fall, wary of worsening the turmoil in Syria. But with hourly media reports in Israel of Syrian civilian deaths, public anger has been growing and Israeli officials have been stepping up their criticism.
Earlier Sunday, Mofaz accused Assad of committing genocide during his crackdown on a 15-month uprising. "A crime against humanity, genocide, is being conducted in Syria today. And the silence of the world powers is contrary to all human logic," said Mofaz during an interview on Army Radio.
Foreign powers were "making do with flaccid condemnation" rather than intervening to overthrow Assad, he added.
"Worse than that is the Russian conduct, which weakly condemns the slaughter while continuing to arm Assad's murderous regime. Best-case scenario, this is irresponsible, and worst-case, it is a partnership in the slaughter," Mofaz said.
Also Sunday, President Shimon Peres said that the world is not doing enough to stop the bloodshed in Syria, and that he hopes the Syrian rebels defeat Assad. Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon also attacked Assad, adding that Israel is offering humanitarian assistance to the citizens of Syria through the International Committee of the Red Cross.
On Saturday, opposition leader Shelly Yechimovich called on the international community to impose a full economic embargo on Syria.

After spending a 66 years living it and 3 years wirting it, I give most of the credit to my Alabama maternal grandmother, Alta Vines, who with great purpose taught me about cat-head biscuits, collard greens and blackberry clobber, and my loving creative parents, Clarice and Barron who guided my sister and me through the adventures of exotic foods and fine dining. Today my family and friends reap the many benefits of my wild culinary successes and failures with joy and laughter.
Over 40 years in the fashion and photography business has given me a great appreciation of all things beautiful and consumable. For example, my favorite pastime is perusing the aisle of boutique grocery stores. I have always said, if you can't wear it, live in it, or ride in it, "you must eat and drink it."

text: I can't even believe there was only one review on this album, before I wrote mine. This album from start to finish is amazing, leaving you begging on the floor asking for more. The lead singer Timmy shreds on vocals, and he is only 19 years old! He is someone I look up to. This is one of those albums that you need to get, to get shredding. I've had this album since it came out back in January, but I don't know what took me so long to write a review. You should see this band live. I can't complain about how many breakdowns there are on this album, because I like them. If you like deathcore, and don't have this album you are really missing out on a masterpiece.

If you have seen my recent threads about my deadlift form and the videos I posted, I think it's clear I have a flexibility/mobility problem.
Adam has been a great help to me and recommended glutes bridges among other movements, so I thought I'd add to my flexibility/mobility warm-up/program with your guys added suggestions.
I did a search for both "flexibility" and "mobility" and didn't find any threads which would already answer my questions, but if any of you guys know of any, please direct me to them.
So, what do you guys do for flexibility/mobility work?
My monkey arms will not stop me from benching 500#!
i do tons of foam rolling, before training, after training, before bed, when im sore, and a lot of LAX work too. then just standard stretching pre and post training. there are some awesome mobility articles over on elitefts.com
I've used these three stretches for a while and my hips have never felt better.
I also do a good amount of calf stretching since my calves get real tight.

I dont do all that much but: deficit pulls sumo and ultra wides help my hips, deficit SLDL help my lowerback etc.
I kinda use weights in a long ROM to stay flexible and it seems to work fairly well.

Foam, lacross balls and stretching. Nothing too fancy but a little goes a long way. Using a lacross ball on my upper back while laying down has really helped my shoulder mobility lately.

When I'm not running experiments I'm stuck at a computer all day. Sitting in desk chairs is horrible for the hips and glutes. I like static stretching before bed while watching some TV and dynamic stuff before workouts. Full ROM BW stuff is good too. For upper body, due to all the pressing we do, I think PLers need alot of retraction work, like band face pulls, shoulder rectractions, band pull aparts etc. Like Scott said, Lax ball, foam roller, pvc etc. too goes a long way to working out those knots. Dead hangs are good to decompress the back after workouts. Also if you sit all day, look at how you're positioned when you sleep. Finding a better position goes along way to getting better sleep and not waking up and moving like crap.
Think Wendler said it, where there are some days he could do a few leg swings and go squat and some days it takes half an hour of moving around to get loose. Thats about right.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WDRB) -- I haven't heard Lee Corso's reaction to Indiana's 73-35 victory against Indiana State Thursday night.
Corso works at ESPN, but I know what Corso would have done if Indiana won a game like this when he was the Hoosiers' coach in the mid-Seventies -- take a picture of the scoreboard and talk about it endlessly.
After one night of the 2013 college football season, Indiana is the highest-scoring team in the nation. After the Hoosiers led 42-7 four minutes into the second quarter, Indiana was on a pace to score nearly 133 points.
(Corso famously once asked a photographer to snap a picture of him with the scoreboard in the background when the Hoosiers led Ohio State, 7-0.)
"We got some stats that look cool," IU coach Kevin Wilson said. "But I'm sure when we watch the tape we're going to see (some things to correct)."
Nobody's perfect. The Hoosiers settled for 73 after Wilson used three quarterbacks and six true freshmen -- in the first half. In fact, Indiana lost its momentum by fumbling away a kickoff for an Indiana State touchdown late in the first half and throwing an interception for another Sycamores' touchdown to start the second half.
But the outcome was never in question. IU set Memorial Stadium records for points, touchdowns (eight), yards (632, 313 rushing and 319 passing) and mentions by Keith Olbermann, who gave the Hoosiers more than a minute of love on his new show, "Olbermann," on ESPN2. That's more than Olbermann talked about Indiana football during his 5-year run on SportsCenter.
The Hoosiers could have scored 80 but Wilson chose to take a knee with his fourth-team quarterback on IU's final four snaps, starting at the ISU 5-yardline. The Hoosiers even held their poise after Shane Wynn took a vicious, unprotected hit to the head in a third-quarter play that resulted in the ejection of an Indiana State player.
Don't look for the Hoosiers to draw any Top 25 votes next week. It's one game – against a team from the FCS level. But Indiana struggled to put Indiana State away last season before winning, 24-17.
Indiana is faster, stronger, deeper and better.
FAST START – The Hoosiers were ready to play – at least on offense. Mitch Ewald drilled the kickoff to the back of the end zone. IU stopped the Sycamores on three plays. On the Hoosiers' third play Tre Roberson found tight end Ted Bolser on a crossing route across the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown to put IU ahead 7-0 after less than 2 ½ minutes.
They continued to score on five of their first six possessions – in less than 50 seconds per possession.
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION – Wilson emphasized defense in his third recruiting class and he did not wait to work the first-year guys into the rotation. Four true freshmen were on the field during Indiana State's second drive – tackle Darius Latham, linebackers Clyde Newton and T.J. Simmons and safety Antonio Allen. Latham, a mammoth defensive lineman from Indianapolis, contributed a sack and two other tackles. Simmons led IU with nine tackles.
MR. EXCITEMENT – Wynn needs a nickname for the way he returns kicks and catches passes. Somebody can come up with something better than this. But until that happens, Mr. Excitement works because the first three times Wynn touched the football he scored – a 43-yard pass, a 58-yard punt return and a three-yard pass.
The fourth time Wynn touched the ball he was flattened after he was blind-sided while signaling for a fair catch on the punt return. It was the cheapest of cheap shots. Teammate Flo Hardin said that Wynn was joking in the locker room after the game but that team doctors planned to test him for a concussion.
"Of course it upset us," IU cornerback Michael Hunter said. "But it's a football game. You have to control your emotions."
GAMBLING MAN – How much confidence does Wilson have in his high-octane offense?
This much: The Hoosiers went for it on fourth down twice in the first quarter. The first time they were stopped. The second time they needed three yards and halfback Tevin Coleman bounced around the left end and delivered a 34-yard touchdown. Coleman had a superb night, too, finishing with 146 yards on 12 carries. Stephon Houston has led IU in rushing the last two seasons, but Coleman is positioned to take his job and run away with it.
QUARTERBACK ROTATION – Wilson named Roberson the starter about two hours before kickoff. He said that he wanted to start another quarterback but was outvoted by his assistants. Hmmm.
Roberson played the first three series and was followed by Nate Sudfeld. Sudfeld led Indiana to a pair of touchdowns and was followed by Cam Coffman.
Bottom line: None of the three quarterbacks will be redshirted this season. Wilson said he asked Sudfeld and Coffman earlier this week if they wanted to save a year of eligibility. Neither player was interested.
The Hoosiers completed 17 of 30 passes for 319 yards and six touchdowns, even though they did throw two interceptions.
"That's what we expected," Bolser said. "They're three great quarterbacks."
HEALTHY AGAIN -- Roberson won the job in 2012 but suffered a broken left leg in Indiana's second game. He looked fine, throwing several nice passes, eluding the pass rush and bouncing up quickly after a nasty hit.
Roberson did not play after the first quarter. He completed three of six passes for 71 yards and two scores.
Roberson did not return after the first quarter because he suffered a bruise near his rib cage. Wilson said he believes he will be able to play next week, but was not certain which guy would start.
Hardin made a big play in the first quarter, jarring loose a fumble that led to Indiana's third touchdown.
"Every tackle, I'm going for a strip," Hardin said. "We're always looking for the ball. We're not looking for three and outs. We're looking for one and outs."
LOUISVILLE CONNECTION, PART II – Indiana State also has one player from Louisville – former St. Xavier linebacker George Stone. Although Stone missed the game with an ankle injury he is expected to become a major contributor when he returns next week.
The Sycamores are coached by Mike Sanford, who was Charlie Strong's offensive coordinator until he was fired early in the 2011 season.
NEXT WEEK – Indiana plays the second of five consecutive home games against Navy at 6 p.m. Sept. 7. It will be the season opener for Navy, which defeated the Hoosiers, 31-30, in Annapolis, Md., last season.

I was very pleasantly surprised with these curtain panels! (I purchased the Chocolate color) Some reviewers said they weren't pleased with the fabric, and it attracted pet hair... which was a concern of mine with my very furry pup! Please know that the fabric is thick, doesn't look cheap, and does NOT attract pet hair. I think they hang nicely, and REALLY keep the cold out, and the heat in... it was a very obvious improvement while sleeping next to a drafty window! I can't recommend these enough. They arrived super-quick, and the price is wonderful for high-quality drapery panels... and yes they do make the bedroom nice and dark! :)
I just received my black out curtain that I ordered in Chocolate. They arrived a bright medium brown, not the color that I was expecting. They are very shiny and attract all duct and pet hair. They do a great job of blocking out the light are are wide enough to only use one panel per window.
I was pleasantly suprised when I recieved my package. I had orderd 2 colors, chocolate brown for the livingrm & blue for my bedroom. Wow, I'm so happy with both. The gromet tops make it so much easier to position & they hang beautifully. The material is so soft & silky. The backs are the same color & I really like this. I couldn't have asked for a better quality of curtain. I will be ordering more for the sliders in the bedroom & livingrm. This definately was a value compared to 'big box stores' that charge 'per panel' & the material doesn't come close to matching these!
Great curtain for that late afternoon sun. We could tell a difference in the room temperature within an hour of hanging them! They also make a perfect, dark room for that afternoon nap!!
I bought these because of the positive reviews, but I am not impressed. The fabric looks cheap--it has a shiny polyester sheen and feels gross to the touch. I am going to return them.
This is the second set of these that I bought. I got these in burguny a while back and now that I have redone the room in navy I got another pair in navy. The material is very nice. they pull closed completely, and they offer great sun block. The room is nice an dark for a long nights sleep and they look nice open as well
I purchased the sage green color and was incredibly pleased with the results. They look more expensive than they were, the color is lovely, and best/most important of all--they really are blackout. Great value, really works!
I bought these curtains to compliment another set of Eclipse solar curtains that I had purchased (and accidentally forgotten to buy 4 panels instead of 2.) I thought these were Eclipse when I bought them, because that was the search term I used, but they are not. Overall, they are nice curtains, they fit perfectly in my huge apartment windows, the color is milk-chocolate and both front and back of the panel is the color color. The grommets are great because I have the curtains on an 82" spring rod, so it's easy to slide them shut when I need to block the sun from the west, and I have found the curtains to be entirely effective. My only drawback was the price. As I also own the chocolate Eclipse curtains (which are a little darker in color), I know they are just as effective and cost about half as much, but they also appear out-of-stock just about everywhere, which was why I was willing to pay this much.
I work from midnight to 8am and I need good blackout curtains. These curtains do the job. Only complaint is that the holes where the curtain rod goes through are a little large, so it does let in some light from the top if you have a thinner curtain rod.
Wow! These curtains completely block the outside light from my son's bedroom. I bought them so he would have an easier time going to sleep during summer months when it's still so bright way past his bedtime. But they've also helped him sleep later in the morning! I always just assumed that he was an early riser, but obviously the sun was helping to wake him up. We love these curtains! He picked out the color, and it's a gorgeous cobalt (the website doesn't do it justice). We bought a curtain rod (at Target) with copper accents to match the curtain's copper grommets. It's really beautiful. It changes/improves the look of his entire room. Very very very pleased! Highest possible recommendation!

K-12 Education Coordinator
Anneliese "Lili" Pugh, 207-563-8135
The Darling Marine Center K-12 Education Program strives to provide a connection between local school children and scientific efforts of the DMC scientists and the environment of the Damariscotta River Estuary. It is a goal of the program to foster marine science literacy through which students of all backgrounds may be better informed citizens, able to engage in scientific discussions no matter their future occupation. Inquiry, exploration and discovery are the basis of all programs. All programs are meant to enhance individual classroom curriculum and help students achieve Maine State Learning Results and the upcoming Next Generation Science Standards.
Visits to the DMC can be as short as 1-½ hours or as long as the school day, depending on the interests of the group and planned activities. Below are some preset programs available for classroom field trips with suggested program length in parentheses. Also note that Maine State Learning Result standards areas are indicated after the description. These are possible areas that will be touched on during particular programs, but do not represent complete units. Data collected at the DMC can be taken back to the classroom for further investigation.
Most programs work well with groups of 15 or fewer. If there are 20 or more in your group please contact us at least 3 weeks in advance so we can secure staffing. Programs that include boat or shore time will be dependent on tides and weather. We can arrange rain dates when booking programs. Field trips can be customized to suit your needs, but may need additional lead time.
The cost of a field trip ranges from $125 to $325 (includes boat trip) for a group of about 15 students. Thanks to a generous donation from the Edward A. Myers Marine Conservation Fund, field trip costs for schools within the Damariscotta River watershed can be defrayed.
- Rocky Coast Investigations (Program length: 1.5 hours)
Explore the rocky shore along the Damariscotta Estuary. Figure out what animals live in this special zone. Survey the shore to see what is crawling on rocks or hiding under algae. Spend time with some live critters in the classroom. Students will interview a chosen animal and determine what makes it suited to the environment and discuss with others what they have found. May or may not involve use of microscopes. (Maine State Learning Results areas: A1, A3, B1, E2)
- Food webs of the Damariscotta Estuary (program length: 1.5-3 hours)
Compare the food webs of two of the habitats found along the Damariscotta River Estuary, the salt marsh and the rocky intertidal. How are they different? How are they the same? Spend time at either both or one of these habitats and then participate in food web related activities. Younger students will learn about the interconnectedness of organisms. Older students will investigate energy transfer from trophic level to trophic level. (Maine State Learning Results areas: A1, A2, A3, B1, E2)
- Shellfish Aquaculture (program length: 1.5-3 hours)
Our region of Maine is known for its fishermen, especially lobstermen. But did you know that the area is also a leader in aquaculture? Damariscotta River oysters are a prized delicacy. Learn about what aquaculture is and what it takes to be an aquaculturist. While at the DMC students will visit the aquaculture lab, learn about some current research, and participate in some hands-on activities. Activities may include learning about plankton's role in aquaculture, collecting water quality data, and/or a boat trip. (Maine State Learning Results areas: A1, C2, C3, E3)
- Technology of Marine Science (program length: 3 hours)
Marine scientists of all sorts use technology to conduct their research. Whether it is finding out more about lobsters or conducting ocean sensing. Learn about some of the tools of the trade. What is a CTD and how does it collect data? What can we learn from the data it produces? How is an ROV used to see the bottom? Students will use simple tools to learn about ocean sampling and participate in a short research cruise. Appropriate for middle school and high school classes. (Maine State Learning Results areas: B2, C1, C2, C3, C4)
- Essential Plankton (program length: 1.5 hours)
Plankton are the base of the marine food chain. They are important in providing half of the oxygen we breathe. Many are larvae of animals we see on the shore. Learn about these organisms through playing games, collecting samples and observing critters under the microscope. A research cruise or visit to the phytoplankton laboratory (pending availability) can be added on to this program. (Maine State Learning Results areas: A1, A2, C3, E1, E2, E3)
- Marine Taxonomy (program length: 1.5 hours)
Classifying organisms into groups helps scientists better understand relationships, similarities and differences between organisms, and appreciate the diversity of life on earth. Students will learn about classifying marine animals by shape and function through exploration with live creatures. Older students may learn about current techniques used in taxonomy. (Maine State Learning Results areas: E1, E2)
The following can be added on to any of the above programs:
- Research cruise (length: 1.5 hours)
Cruise on the RV Ira C. to collect a muddy benthic sample, look for eagles and seals, and collect a plankton sample. Cruises are subject to boat availability and activities will depend on the tide.
- Student water quality data (.5 hour)
Visiting school groups have been collecting basic water parameter data using simple scientific tools. Join in to add to the database.
- Tour of the DMC waterfront campus (.5 hour)
Have a tour of our facilities to learn a little about the research going on at the DMC. Students will get to see some of the tools and tanks used for research.
- Nature walk (.5-1 hour)
The DMC has many trails that can be explored. Wind your way along Lowe's Cove to look for wading shore birds looking for a meal on the mudflat or salt marsh. Hike along the rocky shore to a rocky beach where you may find fossils.
- Pre-trip classroom visits
Public and private schools in the Damariscotta River watershed may request a visit from the center. This visit would include an introduction to the DMC and some background information about the field trip topic.
Below are some projects organized by the DMC and other organizations that may be of interest to your students. We are happy to be of assistance in getting started with any of these projects.
- Project DEEP
The DMC K-12 education program, in conjunction with the Damariscotta River Association, is piloting a multi-part educational experience for 4th-8th graders. Participants will engage in an exploration of the Damariscotta River Estuary through preparatory classroom visits, a day-long field trip, and concludes with a presentation of student projects. Through inquiry-based processes and hand-on experiences, the goal is to create an opportunity that teaches science through student-driven learning experiences and offer the students the necessary tools, technology and community support to gather data and make use of this information. Cost of this program is $350. Please contact us if cost is an issue. We may be able to assist you. This program is currently full for the Spring 2013 season. Please contact us if you are interested for the future.
- Vital Signs
Students are encouraged to help monitor invasive species across the state through the Vital Signs program, created and coordinated by Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) in Portland, ME. Students choose a mission, look for species, and collect data to help document the spread of invasive species. Data collection can happen anywhere. The DMC can be your local source for advice if you need help along the way.
- Signs of the Seasons
Signs of the Seasons is a phenology study coordinated by UMaine Cooperative Extension and Maine Sea Grant, in partnership with the USA National Phenology Network and others. Plants and animals are good indicators of change and rockweed (Ascophyllum sp.) is one of the species the project is tracking. By monitoring the natural history of rockweed it may be possible to link the shifting of its reproductive cycle to changes in climate. Help is needed to collect enough data to find out exactly what is happening and students are encouraged to get involved. Groups can come to the DMC to learn about Ascophyllum. They can monitor rockweed at the DMC or at their preferred site.

The lion, the witch and the wardrobe we'd like to own, please
And so into the woods with Osman.
When the designer told us backstage that the starting point for this stark, colourless collection was a trip into Narnia, suddenly, it all made sense: the forbidding, high, shawl-like collars and shimmering beaded dresses were pure Snow Queen. And the curled wool clutches definitely had a whiff of the Tumnus about them.
This was an accomplished collection, infinitely wearable and beautifully cut, which saw lavish flounce hems trimming the bottom of asymmetrically cut wool dresses and power sleeves brought to the fore in leg 'o mutton styles or slit through the front to give the appearance of a cape.
There was regality in gold embroideries and rich brocades, which came worked as midi-length day dresses and wide-legged trousers paired with zip-through, waist-length jackets. Gauzy, see-though separates, meanwhile, added a note of the organic, stretching out like untouched spiderwebs across the body.
So, is Osman a bookworm? Is CS Lewis a particular favourite of his? 'Well...' he laughed, diplomatically. 'Let's just say it felt right for winter.'
He's not wrong there.

Drafting simplified
LD Studio from Design & Drafting is an intuitive cross-platform set of sophisticated software tools designed to work with the venerable VectorWorks (MiniCAD) drafting program. Rufus Warren has designed the program for maximum versatility and speed.
After using the CAD program to input the dimensions of the stage and/or facility profile, LD Studio provides many time-saving features in the Lighting Design (Plots), Rigging, and Paperwork sections (some of these are patent-pending). LD Studio lets a designer quickly locate a lighting instrument from the large and up-to-date fixture library (as many as 30 parameters for many instruments) and adding it to a truss. After the height is added, the software automatically calculates the resulting "cone of light" and illustrates it graphically. Changing the angle either graphically or via numerical values in a worksheet automatically updates the other fields.
Paperwork fields in LD Studio are simultaneously updated and the program allows for data to be worksheet-driven. All data can be imported/exported to Lightwright and any database-type program, such as MS Excel. LD Studio and the images drawn in VectorWorks are able to be read as a block within AutoCAD; in addition, LD Studio can import AutoCAD architectural specifications of a facility and allow for the immediate placement of lighting instruments and truss.
Designers, electricians, and technical directors can be more productive and precise with LD Studio. For instance, after adding fixtures, cables can be added to the truss, and the program will automatically calculate the weight and cable lengths, as well as updating the drawing. The capacity of the truss and hoist motors can now be accurately compiled and a materials (bid) list can also be printed. For FOH, the drawing, calculation, and spacing of chairs/tables can also be done simply and effectively; they can also be manipulated to account for changes in aisles, table counts, and in the stage dimensions.
LD Studio offers a convenient method of exporting design data directly to the control console for easier building of cues, patch lists, and complete show information. Currently this feature is fully operational with the Leprecon LP 3000 console, and consoles from other manufacturers will be added in the near future.
Brian Hire, events presentation consultant for Steelcase, adds, "The rendering feature is outstanding. Previously we would sit in production meetings and no one had a clue as to what I was talking about. Now, they see the views, and they expect to see them. People are really wowed by seeing the complete stage--including screens and truss, the colors, templates, and even the sections lit by a special." Warren says this particular stage design [top] took about three hours to draw, and only three minutes to render.
Through the use of QuickTime and Adobe Acrobat, both on the CD-ROM software demonstration and the website, all of the software tools are fully shown for using this program. The website URL is www.design-drafting.com. DESIGN & DRAFTING SERVICES Oak Lawn, IL
Leviton lockout The Leviton Smart Lock GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) is designed to prevent a GFCI from being reset after it has been damaged and can no longer provide ground fault protection. Steve Campolo, vice president of Leviton Engineering, says, "We invented Smart Lock to prevent a user from incorrectly assuming that a GFCI that has been reset is still providing ground fault protection when it actually may not. Once ground fault protection is compromised, its lockout-action feature mechanically prevents the reset button on the device from re-engaging. This ensures that power to the GFCI and downstream devices connected to it remain off." The GFCI device is compatible with the Decora designer-style devices and is available in different colors, and in 15A and 20A versions. Leviton Manufacturing Little Neck, NY
Measure for measure The Minolta T-10 Illuminance System features an expandable modular design using compact and interchangeable components. The measurement output is selectable for analog or digital, and the system features a standard RS232C interface, enabling connection to a computer. User-selectable measurement operations include illuminance, illuminance difference, integrated illuminance, setting of reference, and color compensation values. As many as 30 receptor heads can be connected to a single meter unit for fast multipoint measurements. Special receptors for small area measurement and underwater applications are available. Optional data management software is also available, providing for visual data display such as graphics--grids, trend graph, and sensor position outputs. Software-controlled automatic measurement also can be performed at user-selected intervals. Minolta Ramsey, NJ
Lighting that lasts Endurance linear fluorescents provide adjustable, high-output, energy-efficient lighting indoors and outdoors where a corrosion-resistant, vandal-proof, water-resistant luminaire is needed. The low-profile contemporary housing design with curved edges is double-insulated for electrical safety. All hardware is stainless steel and self-contained for corrosion and vandal resistance. The housings snap securely into stainless-steel brackets mounted on ceilings or walls for secure positioning. Designers can specify the precision-sealed and gasketed housing with self-contained components. The luminaires are supplied with extruded, UV-stabilized, fiberglass-reinforced plastic housings. Standard housing color is white; other colors are available upon request. Morlite Erie, PA
Sparky's new tools Jensen Tools is offering a versatile set of tools, specifically for electricians, that even includes a Cordura-type holster with a contained belt-loop for easy storage and portability.

The kit can be purchased individually or in combination with other types of kits and/or tools. Jensen Tools Phoenix, AZ
Foggy notion The Tiny-Compact F90C is a continuous-duty fogger that can add another dimension to events due to its portability. The Tiny-Compact (manufactured in Germany, by Look-Solutions), provides virtually instantaneous effects, due to a less-than-one-second warm-up cycle. The 12V battery supplies energy only when necessary (under a microprocessor control) so the fog time is greatly improved as compared to other battery-powered machines. It can be operated at any angle, and with one hand. Features no reheat cycle, simple controls, and an on-board 1.5oz fluid tank for 20 minutes of continuous fog. The Tiny-Compact is supplied with a battery, charger, and fluid (fully charged, the battery has enough power for 10 minutes of continuous fog). An optional wireless remote, DMX interface, and digital timer are available. The dimensions are almost 3"x4"x8", and the weight including the battery is 50oz, with a power consumption of 70W. Theatre Effects Hagerstown, MD

Fiber talk The ITT Cannon Fiber Optic Multi Channel (FOMC) series connector is a single-mode fiber-optic connector that is field serviceable and for use in rugged (outdoor/wet) environments. The special connector is designed to hold a supply of extra fiber bundled inside the connector housing, allowing the user to change a single contact without the need to re-terminate the entire connector, as other conventionally used models necessitate. In addition, terminating (attaching) the FOMC series connector is easier, since the pin and socket comes pre-assembled and does not require special tooling. According to Cannon, the FOMC connector has an optical loss range of 0.22dB typical and 1.0dB maximum, equal to or better than the performance of any single-mode fiber-optic product currently being used. ITT Cannon Santa Ana, CA

Blackfuse Bombling
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Players can also win this pet by using a bonus roll (Warforged Seal) after defeating Siegecrafter Blackfuse.
Here is a video of the pet, includes the idle animation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh0410sXYdE
After reading the PetCharge blog, I started doing many of the Beasts of the Fable dailies using an explode team of HH Blackfuse Bombling, HH Netherspace Abyssal, and Enchanted Lantern for Illuminate. Three turns to death every time!
Also, I love the Bombling's death. His body flipping off of his legs cracks me up.
Because of the nature of Explode, I was torn as to whether to collect and keep the H/P or trade for a P/P. The H/H and H/P breeds are between 1627 and 18xx so 40% of that is nuts. I have other P/P mechanicals with imho better abilities, however, Armageddon is pretty intense in and of itself and is based on Power so I decided to go with a P/P build. The tradeoff for a strong Explode just wasn't good enough. I don't pet PvP so I shouldn't even care (but I'm a dpser so I like big dps!).
This pet looks so awesome.
These pets are horribly slow, so beware. Signature move Flame Jet hits really hard especially when it ignites the ground, this is a nice combination for a Conflagrate pet. Nice choice of elemental(for killing mechs) or mechanical(for killing beasts) attacks. Last slot I feel Armageddon is superior, but needs to be used on 3 pets be of most use. Self destruct moves are also a bit of a risk when you are as slow as this pet. Can really put the hurt on certain pets, has trouble with faster ones.
I was pleasantly surprised to receive the H/H breed of this pet as bonus loot from Siegecrafter Blackfuse during our guild's latest SoO flex run. It was my first SoO pet I actually won, so I was pretty proud of the little guy. I really liked him, and ran around with him for a couple days, before deciding that I would give him to my brother as a Christmas gift, as it's actually his favorite SoO pet (mine is Kovok). He also wanted the H/H breed, where-as I prefer the P/P. He was pretty happy. :)

You might be surprised once you see one of the best players on the Leopold Boys 5th grade basketball team.
Kyla Beel loves to play basketball, but her school doesn't have a team for elementary girls. So, she steps onto the court with the boys.
"I'm point guard on the team and I like being able to handle the ball," said 10-year old Beel.
Beel is known as a great basketball player in Leopold.
"I practice a lot at home, and I come to open gym here at the school," said Beel.
But Beel's not just one of the best girl basketball players, she's one of the best players on the boys team. Leopold doesn't have a girl's elementary team, so Beel stepped up to the line with the boys.
"They're bigger, and I know they're stronger than me, but it's actually kind of easy," said Beel.
"I think it's great, it's a great experience for Kyla but it's also a great experience for our boys to play with Kyla," said Andy Beck, Leopold's Athletic Director.
"I'm taller than most of the boys I've played, so it's kind of been easy to rebound, and shoot," said Beel.
"She's very aggressive, I'd say Kyla's probably the most aggressive kid we have in elementary not only is she aggressive she's probably one of the best all around players we have," said Beck.
Beck said the boys know it too.
"The boys want to give her the ball ... no I don't think anybody tries to give her a hard time, she's just as much of a competitor as anyone else out there and she really competes hard, and she really gives it everything she's got," said
Beel traveled to Jefferson City to put her free throw shots to the test, and she won first place.
"I was happy, really happy," said Beel.
"That was a huge deal, I thought that was pretty exciting," said Beck.
"I got first place, I made 21 out of 25," said Beel.
For Beel, it's that kind of win that comes from a strong game plan off the court.
"Go for what you want in life, and don't listen to what anybody else says," said Beel. "That's what my dad always told me, never to give up."
Beel also plays volleyball and softball.

Can strict government regulation of medical costs successfully slash the price of healthcare?
An experiment announced Friday that will be tested in Maryland could be used as a national model if it's successful, reports The Washington Post.
Maryland is the only state to operate an all-payer hospital rate-setting system under which all patients pay the same for services at the state's hospitals, says Gov. Martin O'Malley's office.
In most states, hospitals negotiate with insurance companies on prices, leading to variations within states and nationally, the Post says. In Maryland, all health-care customers pay the same price, saving money for consumers.
The governor's office says the new model will allow Maryland to reward systems of care that provide improved outcomes at lower cost. Support for this new model has come from a coalition of hospitals, insurance companies and the state, and it has been officially accepted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
O'Malley and Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown joined Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Sen. Ben Cardin and senior officials from the CMS to announce the new system.
"We need to shift away from our near exclusive focus on treating illness and move to a balanced approach that encourages prevention and wellness," O'Malley said in a statement.
"Such a shift will reduce costs for families and small businesses and will simultaneously keep many Americans from dying of preventable causes."
The model will limit the growth in hospital spending per capita, including inpatient and outpatient care, to growth in the state's economy, the govenor's office says.
It will also limit annual Medicare per capita hospital cost growth to a rate lower than the national annual per capita growth rate, the governor's office says. The model is expected to save the federal government at least $330 million in Medicare spending over the next five years.

Salem — Arthur J. Kavanagh, Jr., MD, age 84, loving husband for 62 years of Theresa (Murphy) Kavanagh, a longtime resident of Salem, died at home on Saturday, December 8, 2012, surrounded by his family. He was an Obstetrician and Gynecologic Surgeon, born in Peabody, MA, on October 19, 1928, the son of the late Arthur and Margaret (Gallagher) Kavanagh Sr. He grew up in Salem and following his graduation from St. John's Prep, Class of 1945, he received his Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Boston College in 1949. Dr. Kavanagh received his Masters in Science in Bacteriology at the University of Massachusetts followed by a Masters of Public Health in Health Education from the Harvard School of Public Health. He then went to the Boston University Medical School, graduating in 1957.
He joined the United States Navy, interned at Chelsea Naval Hospital and served two years at the Public Health Service in Norfolk, VA. He completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Kavanagh had practiced as an OB/GYN physician at Salem Hospital, J.B Thomas Hospital (Peabody), Lynn Hospital and the Mary A. Alley Hospital in Marblehead. Dr. Kavanagh was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and was a clinical instructor at Tufts University School of Medicine.
Dr. Kavanagh had a lifelong curiosity about general health, constantly researching cause and effect. His publications included, "A Scuba Syndrome," in 1963 which examined respiratory illness among members of the United States Navy swimming and dive team. It was determined the illness was caused by inhalation of the pseudomonas species of bacteria from contaminated air hoses. The study led to the prevention of the illness and changes in USN regulations on the care of scuba gear. Another article addressed the presence of talc in operating room gloves, co-authored with Keith Griffin, head of the Tenovus Cancer Institute, Cardiff, Wales and William J. Henderson, Senior Electron Microscopist at the same institute. A detailed report was made to the FDA which ultimately led to the prevention of the use of talc, a contaminant, in surgical gloves in 1972.
Along with his career, he was equally devoted to his wife and their family and encouraging their best. He took great pride in their accomplishments. An avid golfer and member of Salem Country Club for many years, he had enjoyed extensive travel to pursue golf. He was also a member of the Pelican Sound Golf and River Club in Estero, FL.
In addition to his wife, Dr. Kavanagh is survived by five children, Ellen and her husband Douglas Mitten of Norwalk, CT, Timothy Kavanagh, Esq. of Salem, Anne Kavanagh and her partner Yvette Milavec of New York City, NY, Matthew Kavanagh, Esq. and his wife Kari of Beverly and Daniel Kavanagh of Salem; nine grandchildren, Emilie Mitten of Boston, Andrew Mitten, of Boston, Tadhg Kavanagh, Brigit Kavanagh, Rory Kavanagh and Nora Kavanagh, of Georgetown, Kristen Kavanagh, Alison Kavanagh and Chloe Kavanagh of Beverly. He was predeceased by a brother Edmund Kavanagh and a sister Dorothy Kavanagh.
