Jim Tressel has been in the news as of late in connection with the Akron Zips' head coaching position, but the current gameday consultant for the Indianapolis Colts apparently isn't interested in moving back to his alma mater. The former Ohio St. Buckeyes head coach talked about the rumors during an an interview on Tuesday.
"There's no validity to that," Tressel said on 610 WTVN while being interviewed by Bob Conners. "It's a wonderful place and I had four wonderful years there and they've done an extrodinary job with their campus and their athletic facilities, but there's no validity to that."
The main reason for the interview, though, was to get Tressel's thoughts on Urban Meyer being named as his successor to the head coaching position of the Buckeyes.
"When you go through some suffering like (Ohio State) went through this year and you have the right kind of players in the program, you're probably going to have some good things happen," Tressel said to Conners. "So (Meyer) will come in and do a good job. He knows how to coach the game."
Tressel also said he wasn't sure if he'd be returning to the Colts next season during the interview.

Celebrating the Arch Grounds Competition
Aired September 29, 2010
St. Louis excels at the grand gesture. Art Hill, the Gateway Mall and the Arch are inspiring, but the smaller experiences of walking through the park, or the visitors experience at the Arch have been neglected and often leave a more lasting, and all-too-often, negative impression.
What the Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates winning design does is improve the visitor experience at every point. In their words, they build literal and figurative bridges from the City to the Arch to the River.
A New Vision for the Arch - Less, Not More
Aired June 15, 2010
Great boulevards epitomize the energy and vibrancy of a city. Cities are most alive where different modes of activity intersect. A grand boulevard says in no uncertain terms that you stand at the threshold of a great city. St. Louis deserves a great boulevard.
We have one of our nation's great icons at our doorstep in Eero Saarinen's incomparable modernist masterpiece. And yet, in a city that loves outdoor patios and sidewalk dining, it's absurd that we cannot sit at a café across from the National Park and take in the majesty of our Arch and river.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego region is better equipped to fight a major wildfire today than it was 10 years ago, when the Cedar Fire broke out and rampaged across the county, government and fire officials said Friday.
The blaze killed 15 people, scorched more than 273,000 acres and destroyed more than 2,200 homes before it was extinguished weeks later -- becoming the most destructive in state history.
"What you've seen over the last 10 years is that the city and the county have made substantial investments to make sure that we do have the equipment, that we have the air fighting capabilities and other needs ready ... to go," Interim San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria told CBS News 8.
Gloria took part in a news conference in Scripps Ranch, where some neighborhoods were devastated by flames. Area fire agencies showed off their firefighting helicopters at the event.
The blaze started on a blistering hot fall day between Ramona and Julian when a lost hunter started a signal fire. The hunter was airlifted to safety, but the flames spread in hard-to-access terrain.
The fire consumed about 10 acres by sundown and remained relatively small well into the night. But strong Santa Ana winds sprung up after midnight, sweeping flames into Wildcat Canyon -- between Lakeside and Ramona.
Most of the deaths occurred in and around the canyon area, many as the victims attempted to escape. Survivors later told of waking up to flames already on their properties.
Another finger of the fire raced into Scripps Ranch, where flames fed by combustible eucalyptus trees ravaged several neighborhoods. The westward march of flames went about halfway down the length of the runway at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar before they were stopped.
When the Santa Ana winds died down -- replaced by a sea breeze -- the flames roared east, devastating small mountain communities near Julian and Lake Cuyamaca and killing firefighter Steven Rucker, of the Novato Fire Department north of San Francisco. Rucker was one of hundreds of fire personnel from throughout the state dispatched to battle the Cedar Fire.
The East County mountains bear scars from the fire to this day, from denuded hillsides to huge stands of gray, broken trees standing on slopes near Lake Cuyamaca.
As bad as the Cedar Fire was, firefighters also had to deal with destructive blazes around the same time in Valley Center, east of Chula Vista and Camp Pendleton.
Another Santa Ana-driven firestorm broke out four years later when an electrical line fell. The blaze, now known as the Witch Creek Fire, then barreled into Rancho Bernardo, where hundreds of homes were destroyed. Several other wildfires broke in the area that fall.
For the Cedar Fire anniversary, no Santa Ana winds are predicted by the National Weather Service despite warmer temperatures expected heading into the weekend.

On tap at duckfat
The beer pours a deep dark brown with a foamy tan head. This is the darkest farmhouse I've seen since I tried existent. There is no sediment and the head laces thickly. The beer's nose is a big yeast fruitiness accompanied by some sweetness. It doesn't appear to be particularly hoppy or aromatic. Tasting the beer is quite the same, but its balance made it exceptionally great for paring with my pork belly panini.
This beer was very drinkable, but a little over priced. I'm not sure I would run out to grab bombers of this brew, but would get it on tap again if I saw it back home.

Poured into a chalice. This one pours a reddish mahogany with just a small layer of white foam.
The aroma has a faint plumb aroma with some barnyard yeasy notes.
Fruity flavors with figs and plumbs and a little bit of pepper and butter flavors. This finishes with a bit of a floral hop edge.
The body is light and a bit buttery. Unique offering here. Really enjoyable offering. This seems to be inspired by some Belgian quads using saison yeast.

Was reviewing the USAC guidelines for upgrades. It dawned on me that the least experienced class (5) has the least stringent guidelines. 5-4: Experience in 10 mass start races.
Local Associations may also establish policies where upgrade credit is given for taking a sanctioned rider education clinic.
The most experienced classes have higher requirements for upgrade. 2-1: 30 points in any 12-month period
50 points in 12 months is an automatic upgrade
I don't understand why we would want the least experienced riders to be allowed to upgrade the fastest.
Is there a possibility for NCNCA to add to USAC's guidline for the 5-4 to be more along the lines of 4-3? (4-3: 20 points in any 12-month period; or experience in 25 races with a minimum of 10 top ten finishes with fields of 30 riders or more, or 20 pack finishes with fields over 50. 30 points in 12 months is an automatic upgrade.) NCNCA change 5-4 to 20 points in any 12 month period, but increase the race minimum to 30-35 races with a minimum of 12 top ten finishes and eliminate pack finishes.
This gives mentors more time to work with 5's if the promoters eliminate 4/5 fields. Once upgraded the rider will have greatly improved bike handling skills+safer+smarter+more confidence so combining 3/4 will be safer in the long run.

EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK Provides Guidance on Mastering Technology-Driven Marketing Solutions
The 17th annual EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK had a new blended focus this year when the pre-show trends conference took place yesterday on the eve of GRAPH EXPO 2012. The program was enhanced to provide a more combined analysis of key marketing trends with new technology enhancements. With the theme, "Using Marketing and Technology to Innovate and Thrive," this year's EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK delivered a dynamic conference that provided attendees with indispensable information on how to use technology to propel their marketing initiatives to gain a competitive advantage in today's economy.
"With market trends changing so quickly, leaders must gain an understanding of the latest communication strategies to secure a competitive edge. Savvy printers recognize that effective customer outreach is an ongoing dialogue that requires a 'multi-media' approach. This year's EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK provided insights from the experts about the very latest technologies and tools that can enable your company to enhance this conversation," said Ralph Nappi, President of GASC.
EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK 2012 kicked off with a keynote address from Jeff Hayzlett, best-selling author and President of the Hayzlett Group, who shared the essential business lessons to lead, drive change, and grow profits.
Following the keynote were a series of well-timed sessions which addressed the unique marketing issues faced by graphic communications professionals today.
Dr. Samir Husni, Director of the Magazine Innovation Center, the University of Mississippi, revealed the secrets for thriving in a 'transcended media age'. Gina Testa, Vice President, Graphic Communications Industry Business, Xerox, moderated a lively panel discussion with "Messages from Top Marketeers" who shared how you can be part of their team. Jeff White, General Manager-Monarch, EFI, examined "Trends in Workflow and Production Management Software."
EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK also offered a series of brief-but-detailed "vignettes" that shed light on which technologies graphic communications professionals should be looking to invest in at GRAPH EXPO 2012, with updates on:
• Printed Electronics, with Dr. Kate Stone, Founder, Novalia
• Traditional Press Technology, with Ray Prince, Vice President and Senior Consultant, Operations Management, NAPL
• Update on Variable Data, with Mark Lewiecki, Senior Product Manager, Adobe PDF Print Engine
• Advances in Toner Technology, with Frank Kanonik, Managing Directory, Intellective Solutions, and
• Update on Inkjet Presses and Imprinting, with Jim Hamilton, Group Director, Infotrends.
John Foley, CEO, Grow Socially also presented a special session on "Integrating Social Media into your Marketing Mix" which helped attendees to assimilate all of the marketing and technology updates of the day.
As the program drew to a close, participants were among the first to hear the announcements of the new "Best of Category" 2012 MUST SEE 'EMS exhibits and products, and also recognize the inaugural "Legacy Award" winner. A highlight of the EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK Conference, the MUST SEE 'EMS are the technologies and products chosen by a panel of industry experts as being the most compelling at the show. These designations provide a roadmap to the exhibits and technologies that attendees should make a point of seeking out at GRAPH EXPO.
EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK concluded with the announcement of the Positively Print program awarded to PrintCity. The program, launched in 2010, recognizes graphic communications companies that most successfully promote in their communications the power of print in today's media mix.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Stayed at the TraveLodge on Galveston. The rate was competitive, the room clean, and very comfortable for the short stay. We missed our cruise critic friends at Fish Tales restaurant by one hour Saturday night, but did find them at the Meet and Greet on board.
SUNDAY: We ran our usual approach before the cruise: 1. Drop off luggage at the pier at 10:00 am; 2. Park the car at the nearby EZ Cruise parking; and 3. Walk the 2 blocks to the Cruise ship terminal. The line to get into the terminal took a few minutes. Having hit the Platinum level saved us a few minutes in line. We waited for our friends from Illinois, who were only 3-4 minutes behind, in the usual line. So Platinum saved some time, and is certainly another nice benefit of cruising with Carnival. Once on board we had our ID card punched at the customer service desk, so we could attach our lanyard to the them, thus freeing our hands. Then it's off to the Northern Lights dining room for 1:30 pm check-in, and confirming our table location (the matre'd slightly moved our table to a better location in the Southern Lights -- thank you!). The Matre'd in our Southern Lights Dining Room, Ken Byrne, was quite the singer and story teller, and a major attraction for our dinners.
CABIN: Our deck nine cabin (and also that of our friends) was an aft balcony stateroom, in the back center of the ship. Compared with the same stateroom on the Conquest, this balcony has a longer overhead roof line. So we are protected from the sun and elements, which is another nice advantage of Magic.
ALCOHOL: We did see some alcohol taken from a cabin, which alcohol was hidden in containers. Another problem had apparently provoked security to enter the cabin. Overall, we feel the room steward and security handled this sensitive situation well. All we can say is that no other cruise line except Carnival offers you the chance to bring on 2 bottles of wine, and to order a wide variety of hard liquor. Avoid confrontation or embarrassment, and order from the Bon Voyage department, if you want to enjoy such beverages on your cruise. You'll have one less thing to worry about. And the water and soft drinks we brought on board (24 total) were hardly even looked at as we cleared security.
FACILITIES: The Red Frog Pub was perhaps the nicest addition to the ship. The food was good, the drinks and atmosphere were party-like, and the music each night put you in a great mood. Do plan on Pub Grub and beverages.
The Ocean Plaza is next door, also on Deck 5, and the stage and central gathering place for the games, karaoke, and evening entertainment. It is such a comfortable space, I hope CCL makes this area even bigger on its newer ships. There certainly was demand for seating for all of the activities there.
Showtime Theater: It seems about the same size or a little larger than Conquest. But with 4300 passengers on our cruise, compared with a thousand fewer on Conquest, the seats did fill up faster for the shows. We did arrive 30 minutes before each show, and found OK to good seats on the main floor each time.
Spotlight Lounge: This is the rear smaller theater at the rear on deck 5, the Spotlight Lounge. The setting was OK, but the decorations were only plain. I enjoyed the Conquest's rear lounge more. It was probably larger.
STEAKHOUSE: Was worth every penny. The service and food were very good. Our group thought that other steakhouses (Conquest, Legend, Miracle) were probably better. Why? The food on the other ships had a certain WOW factor, we were unfortunately waiting for on Magic.
SOUTHERN LIGHTS DINING ROOM: Our waiter and assistant could not be beat. Dajon and Martel made us feel welcome, whether we were on time or not. The steaks were the major departure from the normal CCL dining experience. Our steaks did not have that char broiled, melt in your mouth taste. They were chewier. Perhaps CCL is trying to optimize the overall food budget. The steaks on Conquest, et al, were more memorable and good.
KARAOKE: I love to sing in church, and I love to sing on the ships. We had Superstar Karaoke (with the band) 3X on the Miracle, compared with 1X on Magic. And that was at the end of our Nassau port call on the pool deck. Who planned that? Was CCL trying to not overwork the now-down-to-5 musicians in the band? So having Superstar karaoke one time was less than we were expecting.
The traditional karaoke had a mix of interested entertainment crew members as KJS (and less than interested KJS). Thank you, Lindsey, for caring about your guests. At least you appeared to welcome and listen to each performer.
GAMES: And Stephanie and Sam also get high marks during the variety of games, for listening to the guests, and creating the good time for them. The cruise had the usual number of games, competitions, and funny responses from contestants.
POOL/SERENITY: The kids enjoyed the pool, while the adults enjoyed the hot tubs. The ropes course looked fun, but the wind discouraged us from trying it, this time. Serenity truly is a fun place to read, soak up the son, and enjoy something to drink. The squealing of the kids next door at the water park next to the pool does detract from it, but it is still a comfortable place to relax.
THE LEGENDS SHOW: The revamped Legends show (and now back to Saturday night) includes 3 cruisers doing dances, and some additional songs/stars to sing to (hello Cher, Gloria Gaynor, and goodbye Ricky Martin). We felt the new show was a hit because of the new music and the dancing.
MEET AND GREET: Thank you, Host Mach, and co-hosts Peddler and Tass (Jim and Nancy) for arranging the Cruise Critic Party. We were grateful to have people come and share their stories how they planned for this cruise. Do come and always watch the Carnival Fun Times for the time and place (ours was 2 pm Monday in the Deck 4 conference room). Of course, we had meet Jim and Nancy on our earlier Conquest cruise.
KEY WEST: The purpose of this Key West visit was to explore hotels for an air/hotel vacation package sometime in the future. So we downloaded the Key West bus schedule, caught and rode the Blue Line bus around the island for $2.00. We scoped out less expensive and more expensive hotels, for which we will make better accommodation decisions. And of course, the beverages and shopping on Duval and at the Marina were fun. Lunch was a return trip to the Conch Republic, where our group last toasted our good fortune on a cruise in 2003. The temperature: in the lower 70s, with a little wind, was comfortable with T-shirts and shorts.
FREEPORT, BAHAMAS: We enjoyed the Wyndam Resort all inclusive (for a second time) and while the water was cool, a day at the beach beats the beast day at work. The food, the beverages, the service were all very good.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS: The order of the day was to shop in the downtown, and go finally to the Pirate Museum. We thoroughly enjoyed this treasure in downtown Nassau, for the history, the stories, and the less enjoyable/non-Johnny Depp side of being an eighteenth century pirate. Also a must see: the
CROWDS: Many of our reviewers talked about crowds on Magic. Yes, we had lots of cruisers on this 12-11-11 cruise, but it was on par with our Voyager and Freedom Class ships, and a little more than the Conquest class ships. So be prepared for some lines, but nothing outrageous.
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Better steaks in the dining room (we live in TX, you know, as do most other Galveston cruisers). A little more karaoke, especially the highly valued Superstar karaoke. Please ask the Magic Entertainment Staff to pay closer attention to the customers -- some staff members are already doing that. Or they are not playing with a deck of cards when the singers come up for traditional karaoke.
OVERALL: There was some magic missing on this Magic, and we felt it. We in TX are grateful for CCL's investment in our Gulf of Mexico cruise port. But then CCL must compete and deliver. I suspect that the vacation business will only get tougher in the years ahead. The reason we are Platinum only with CCL is because they have figured it out so well on our 11 previous Carnival cruises. Please Miami and Magic crew, continue the good work, and continue to improve with these basic deliverables: better and memorable food, paying attention to your customers, and creating a cruise experience that brings us back (and we will be back on the Carnival Magic in 12 months).
We understand how others had a lesser cruise experience, and still others, a better one than ours. We do look forward to further CCL cruises, and we'll see how the next Magic cruise goes in December, 2012.
We wish you the best on all of your cruises, and hope you find magic on the Carnival Magic in Galveston!
Bob and Donna from Dallas/Ft. Worth

Walking the show floor yesterday, day one of LDI... Apollo always seems to have those ideas that you just smack your forehead. Apollo's PrintScenic Printed Gobos are designed for LED or low heat profile instruments. The innovation is the print method and the material they print on. Apollo can print these gobos on plastic or glass, the latter giving the gobo the rigidity it really needs to continue to have a great projection for hundreds of hours. The big take away is they can fill in blacks to make solid fields, getting rid of the "gray" background seen in many printed gobo solutions.
The legendary Baxter Controls Par-B-Que is back. Texas-style beef cooked under PARs with Salt Lick dry rub and sauce imported from Driftwood, Texas. Head to booth #1142 in the afternoon to get some great beef and see the Pocket Console, a device every lighting tech would find useful.
Robert Juliat has two new LED profiles that caught my eye. The Zep replaces the company's previous LED profile. The Tibo is almost like a little brother to the Zep. The RJ optics are always excellent, but my favorite feature is that they both use the new PowerCon connector. It's a black connector instead of the blue one we've all gotten used to. There are several technical reasons why the new connector makes more sense for a theatrical fixture too. I plan to stop by the Neutrik booth to find out more. Also of note at the RJ booth is a "concept" light they put together for the show. Using the Zep backend with a Cricket yoke and front assembly, RJ has created an LED-based followspot. Again this isn't even really a prototype, but the potential for smaller venues, clubs, schools, and corporate events is easy to see. Check it out in booth #501.
A few months ago Rosco released a web application called MyColor. It features a searchable index of all current Rosco filters. Users can organize their shows and particular palettes, exporting them to PDFs. The PDFs show a small swatch and notes the designer might make about the color. ;The whole host of technical information on a filter is also easy to get to. Here at LDI, Rosco is showing the beta iPad version of myColor. It's set to release in December. Should be another useful tool for anyone involved with lighting to keep on their iPad.
Searching for a good Gigabit switch? Thursday night I had a conversation with an electrician friend who needed to find a good Gigabit ethernet switch with Ethercon connectors. There's not a lot thats flashy and fun about a switch, but it's a core piece of equipment that your whole show relies on. The idea that a cheap plastic connector can take down your rig is just unacceptable. Luminex, Pathway Connectivity, and TMB are offering robust switches that seem like they would fit the bill for my friend. All are worth a serious look if you use a network in your lighting rig.

Brighton pub sorry over Frape poster
1:10pm Friday 14th December 2012 in News By Peter Truman
A pub has apologised after a "misguided" advertising campaign that seemed to condone rape.
The Hobgoblin pub in London Road had put up posters in the pub and online advertising its "Festive Frape" promotion.
Customers were invited to use the pub's name in the status section of their Facebook pages and encourage friends to "like" the comment in exchange for a free shot.
The promotion was based on the colloquial phrase Frape, which means to post on someone's Facebook wall without their permission.
But several people contacted the pub complaining the poster, which could be easily misread as festive rape, was offensive and normalised the term rape.
Others took to Facebook and Twitter to condemn it.
Nicole Healing was one of the first to spot the poster and complain to the pub.
'Affront to victims'
She said: "I remain astonished that any person would deem this suitable for marketing purposes and seemingly not realise the offence it could cause.
"This is not simply tongue-in-cheek frivolity, but an affront to all victims of sexual abuse and sexual crime."
Some people contacted the charity Survivors' Network, which supports female survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
A spokeswoman said: "The majority of people who saw the poster and Facebook page would know someone who has been raped at some point in their life and would find the use of the terms unacceptable, offensive and distasteful.
"We are encouraged by the public outrage about this campaign and the pub's swift response to apologise and to remove all connected publicity material. Our message for the festive season is simple, rape is wrong – don't joke about it, don't condone it, don't do it."
'Deep regret'
John Purchese, the manager at the pub, admitted the campaign was "misguided" and made clear there was never any intention to legitimise rape.
The pub released a statement which said: "We deeply regret any offence our recent advertising may have caused and would like to apologise to anyone who may have misinterpreted the advert in question.
"We will no longer be using this advert and understand that a minority of people found it to be offensive. It was never our intention to cause such offence and our unreserved apology is sincere.
"On reflection it was naive to use an urban phrase that could be misinterpreted in this way."
The pub has pledged to donate £250 to a local rape victim's charity.

Go to court and see the devastating effect on people, including children, who have been raped.
It's a silly campaign and could have been avoided with little thought and creativity. Lazy really and the creator didn't think that many of the audience may have been raped. Just naive and lazy.

Bearing in mind, if you're not familiar with the term 'frape' you might not make the above connection; off the back of which it's no wonder that some I'd the local population found the poster offensive!
Question: had the poster more clearly read 'festive frape', would people still have been offended by it?

In the end, no one will be able to say anything at all about anything, for fear of someone else being offended. Surely there are far more important issues to worry about than the printing of a rather silly poster. And will its banning really put a stop to rape? I don't thinks so somehow.
Some people go round looking for things to complain about.

Huge over reaction, im sure 99% of people under the age of 40 would find absolutely nothing wrong with the word 'frape' and know exactly what it means. And by using the facebook logo and no sexual imagery on the poster , i fail to see how anyone found it to be remotely offensive.

Harmony Korine's College Bacchanalia 'Spring Breakers' Turns Into a Disturbing Fever Dream
Maybe hell isn't all pitchforks and brimstone and gnashing of teeth; maybe it's more akin to the taffy-colored meltdown that serves as a backdrop for Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers. In the opening frames, it all looks fun and sexy enough—everyone's smiling and having a good time as the sun shines and the booze flows. Look a little closer, though, and that lovely gloss rubs off like cheap suntan oil. Young men pretend to urinate on one another as middle fingers are raised to the camera and smiles turn to smarmy, confrontational smirks. The youth are revolting, Korine seems to be saying.
Yep, they sure are.
Korine hasn't abandoned the themes that have been showing up in his work since he wrote the screenplay for Larry Clark's Kids back in 1995, when he was 19, but he's finally managed to make them palatable. More than palatable, actually—Spring Breakers is an exhilarating, wildly entertaining work. It's still a nihilistic (though frequently hilarious) film about young people who suffer from a dangerous disconnect between their actions and the consequences they might have, but this is an altogether more accomplished and more accessible work than anything Korine has attempted so far.
Anyway, back to that sun-kissed Armageddon. Tampa's infamous Spring Break bacchanalia is the dream destination for a quartet of college girls stuck at school while everyone else has headed home or to the beach. Faith (Selena Gomez) is the only character who's ever really fleshed out, but even she is rendered in broad strokes: a naive churchgoer who may be "crazy for Jesus" but still knows a good party when she sees it. Along with Cotty (Rachel Korine, the director's wife) and interchangeable mean girls Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Brit (Ashley Benson), Faith wants nothing more than to find her way to Tampa to make some memories, bare some flesh, and destroy some brain cells. They have no money, but Faith's friends are all about solutions: they rob a restaurant with water pistols and mallets, and soon the girls are off to debauch themselves with thousands of other chemically impaired and mostly naked co-eds.
Things are fine at first, but there's never any doubt that it will all go horribly wrong. Korine's finger is never far from the rewind and fast-forward buttons; we occasionally get random glimpses into the girls' futures—a bloody hand, the unmistakable sound of rounds being chambered—that are ominous even when divorced from any kind of narrative context. When the girls are arrested and subsequently bailed out of jail by a corn-rowed, delusional rapper/drug pusher named Alien (a scene-stealing James Franco), it's no longer a matter of if, but rather when, the consequences of their hedonistic pursuits will catch up to them.
In ways, I suppose, Spring Breakers is kind of a mess. Korine transcends his stunt casting of former teen princesses by eliciting great performances from Gomez, Hudgens, and Benson, but the only character who could be considered a protagonist of any sort hightails it back home before the film careens into its hilariously weird third act, leaving us to navigate the rest of the journey with four characters who are morally and intellectually bankrupt. But this isn't so much a traditional narrative as a crazed fever dream. Brilliantly shot by Enter the Void cinematographer Benoît Debie and scored by dubstep star Skrillex and frequent Soderbergh collaborator Cliff Martinez, Spring Breakers is a visual and aural rush even when there's little else going on. Korine is rarely content to rest on his film's technical laurels, though. He skillfully and artfully manipulates the narrative, looping bits of dialogue and frequently doubling back to show us the same images and sometimes entire scenes from different perspectives. When the girls rob the restaurant early in the film, we see it only from outside, where it looks harmless enough. It takes on disturbing new facets as we learn more about what took place inside the diner, first when the girls reenact it for Faith's benefit and later when a flashback takes us inside for a firsthand look at the damage they caused.
It's never less than entertaining and it rarely takes itself so seriously that it stops being fun, but Spring Breakers is no sun-dappled fantasy; it's a darkly comic, DayGlo freak show that disturbs even as it entices.

LOS ANGELES (FOX 11 / AP / CNS) - (UPDATE) Some Los Angeles area customers of Time Warner Cable experienced a service interruption that kept them from viewing part of the the Super Bowl today.
Shortly after 5 p.m., Time Warner Cable reported via Twitter that it was working to fix an issue with its KTTV feed that was keeping some of its Los Angeles-area customers from viewing the game.
The event was viewable on the cable carrier's high-definition Fox channel, TWC reported.
Customers from Los Angeles to Ventura County to Riverside County were reporting that the non-HD channel froze during a Volkswagen commercial.
The interruption, which also affected the KCAL and KTLA standard definition signals, appeared to end around 5:50 p.m., some viewers reported.
"We have resolved a technical issue with the SD signal and apologize for the inconvenience to our customers. There were no issues with the HD signal," TWC spokesman Dennis Johnson said via email when queried about the interruption.
Time Warner Cable says its investigating a blackout on its standard-definition Fox channel in Southern California that cut off the Super Bowl telecast for its customers.
The company said in a Twitter message that it's working to resolve the problem, which is not affecting the Fox high-definition channel.
Hundreds of football fans are taking to Twitter to complain about the blackout, which occurred shortly before the halftime show. Two other Time Warner cable channels - KCAL-TV and KTLA-TV - were also blacked out.
It wasn't immediately clear how many customers were affected by the blackout.
Calls and email messages to Time Warner Cable spokesmen were not immediately returned.
The Seattle Seahawks were leading 29-0 over the Denver Broncos at the top of the third quarter.

Economic Freedom fighters members burn a T-shirt of the South African ruling party African National Congress (ANC), outside the Gauteng Legislature building on July 22, 2014 in Johannesburg. South African police threw stun grenades and fired rubber bullets when radical lawmakers stormed the provincial legislature in the country's economic powerhouse Johannesburg on July 212. Led by Julius Malema, who styles himself "Commander in Chief" of the Economic Freedom Fighters, some 2,000 EFF members protested the eviction of their representatives for wearing what they call "workers clothes" to legislative sessions. A photo of South African President Jacob Zuma is seen onto the T-shirt. AFP PHOTO / MUJAHID SAFODIENMUJAHID SAFODIEN/AFP/Getty Images

Martha sat in her attorney's office describing her plans for the distribution of her estate.
"Well, let's see now. I want to leave the crystal to my sister Harriet. I should do something for my brother Charles, although he's so successful he really doesn't need an inheritance from me. I'll just leave him a token of my affection - perhaps the grandfather clock from my husband's estate. I want to provide generously for my son, Tim, and my daughter, Julie," Martha continued, "but I'm not sure it's necessary, or even a good idea, to leave them all of my estate. We taught them to work hard and be self-reliant and nothing should change that."
"Now there are three others I need to tell you about . . . and they are very unusual," she added slyly. On hearing those words her attorney leaned closer and Martha went on: "Oh, yes. These people tell me they never have to pay income taxes. Not only that, I never have to pay gift taxes or estate taxes on anything I give to them. But here's what is even more interesting: Whenever I make gifts to them, I get to write it off on my income taxes!"
Martha smiled at her attorney's puzzled expression and finally confided that these "people" actually were several worthwhile not-for-profit organizations (including us). Increasingly, people like Martha are telling their advisers: "My children are grown, educated and on their own. I have given them a good start in life. I want to provide for them after my death but I don't feel I need to leave my children everything. I would do them no favors by giving them an instant fortune. I've worked hard; I've been successful; life's been good to me. Now I want to give something back. I want to do something for humanity. It's a matter of my personal philosophy."
For these individuals, their charitable beneficiaries - school, house of worship, health institution, social service organization, cultural foundation or others - may be every bit as important as the "natural" objects of their bounty. And if that's the case, then some remarkable estate planning ideas are possible. Our staff would be pleased to help explore ways by which you can add immense personal satisfaction to your plans - plans that make the statement:
"I was here; my life was important . . . I made a difference."

A Brown County Grand Jury has returned a 'no bill' against a Georgetown father who was accused of shooting and killing his son.
Investigators say Leroy Louderback, 71, shot and killed his son, John Louderback, 41, on Dec. 16. Leroy Louderback was charged with voluntary manslaughter and was released from jail after posting bond.
Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little says a no bill means the grand jury did not find enough evidence to return an indictment. The grand jury was given the law regarding an individual's right to defend himself while in his own residence.
"We believe that the grand jury relied upon that legal theory to find that the shooting was justified," said Little.

A word from Luca D'Italia
Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic Italian Eatery. Brightly painted walls and contemporary art create an upscale, urban feel at Luca d'Italia, where knowledgeable servers quickly meet your needs and engage easily in conversation about a menu that changes monthly. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses that are cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno's son (and the restaurant's namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca d'Italia is colorful, lively, and tasty; the menu is designed for gluttonous abandon. It's not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it's the real (and tasty) deal.Continued

- Birthday dinner!mangiaVIPDined on 7/29/2014We had a very lovely birthday dinner with family and enjoyed the entire evening. A little pricey for a casual Saturday night but for a special occasion it was perfect.Special Features:
- Absolutely Wonderful!MichiganiansDined on 7/26/2014My husband and I LOVED our dinner at Luca D'Italia -- fantastic service by a lead waiter and the team, fresh and delicious food and wonderful ambiance. We're from out of state, and discovered the restaurant through a list of top 25 Denver restaurants. It delivered more than we could have imagined!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelygmfurDined on 7/25/2014Lovely spot for wine and dinner. The food is excellent and the service is equally wonderful. It is one of those places that have long term patrons that all the staff knows. That says something about a place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wine assistamceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/25/2014Best sommelier in the business. Always very helpful and accurate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/24/2014I was disappointed I must say. Place was practically empty on a Thursday evening.. Food was good,not great Service was great. You can get many better meals elsewhere in town at lower costs.
- Nice Celebratory DinnerFischyDined on 7/23/2014My work colleagues and I met up at Luca D'Italia to celebrate. Luckily they do have complementary valet otherwise parking would be difficult. We were promptly seated and given many recommendations on items on the menu. Wait staff was informative and friendly, food was delicious, but we did not have room for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top NotchWestminsterJoshDined on 7/19/2014This restaurant was incredible. Our waiter was friendly, timely and very knowledgeable about the food. Speaking of the food, it was amazing! There were four of us and we all did the 4-course tasting. We ended up getting to sample nearly the entire menu and there wasn't a single dish that didn't taste incredible. The food presentation is quite impressive as well. The wine pairing was skillfully customized just for us rather than a standard pairing for each dish. The restaurant is certainly on the expensive side, but I think it was well worth the food, wine and service. Hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to in Denver!Special Features:
- LuvfoodDined on 7/18/2014If was easy to get a reservation, the staff were friendly and attentive. The menu was explained in great detail, and the service prompt. I left my credit card there and they called me within 10 mi utes so I was able to go right back and get itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverpricedDavidSDined on 7/18/2014Food is fine but this place is way, way overpriced
- DJT16Dined on 7/16/2014We had an early reservation midweek and since we were there last they have opened up the front windows on the side we were seated. The traffic noise especially until rush hour was over was not pleasant and put us off. We can't figure out why they would open it up like that. One of the reasons we go to Luca is for the quiet ambience. We may have to make it a winter favorite.Special Features:
- Luca reviewTinman3012Dined on 7/12/2014Food was high quality but my gosh there was a lot of salt in it. The next morning my wife and I had a Miralax moment from all the sodium in the food. Service seemed to be just about right.Special Features:
- Amazing!andrewawDined on 7/11/2014Fantastic all the around. Celebrated our anniversary and couldn't have been better. Highly recommend 4 course meal with wine pairings.Special Features:
- Delicious, yet very quiet.OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/10/2014I really enjoyed my recent birthday dinner at Luca... fabulous food, though a bit on the pricey side. The quality couldn't be much better. Fresh breads with rosemary lardo spread, an amuse bouche, the freshest of pasta, perfectly-prepared fish, and a sweet bite at the end of the meal. Very classy all around. But even though we had an early dinner (gotta get home to put the kids to bed), I couldn't help but worry about the future of this restaurant. There were 2 of us diners, and at least a staff of 8-10 serving us. By the time we left (an hour and a half later) there were only 3 additional patrons. Perhaps the expense and buttoned-down decor/setting is off-putting to most people. I love the food, but it might be time for a Luca refresh.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/9/2014We had the 4 course selection with wine pairings, and the experience was one not to be forgotten. Every one of the wines went so well with the food, and the flavors of the food and wine seemed to improve when enjoyed together. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Luscious LucaTechfoodieDined on 7/9/2014The restaurant is worth every one of the high points it receives on Zagat. Extraordinary quality coupled with superb presentation and service. Who could ask for more? We'll be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You can do betterOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/1/2014A nice place to be with good food. Don't be thirsty for wine or a cocktail because it might take forever to get one. Or more. If your server ever shows up, try to get all your business done in one fell swoop because he may never return, or if he does it is a "drive by" as if he's on roller skates. And it seems that he doesn't have a name, or it would take too long to tell you. It did seem that the rest of the people at Luca would have been quite helpful, but we just had bad luck that day.
- pastaviandieVIPDined on 7/1/2014the fusilli with mushrooms is an outstanding dish. they know how to cook pasta.good Italian winesI would recommend this to a friend.
- DenvertouristDined on 6/25/2014Excellent food and service. Attractive dining room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceklc2615Dined on 6/24/2014We did the Chef's 6 course tasting menu (they choose all courses for you), and we enjoyed each one. The wine selection seemed to be trying too hard; unless you're a wine fanatic, save the extra money and order what you want. Overall, a great dining experience. We'll be back for special occasions.
- PerfectYummersDined on 6/21/2014We chose the 6 course tasting and couldn't have been happier. The food was delicious! There wasn't any dish that I didn't enjoy, but the pasta course was my favorite. Everyone who worked at the restaurant was helpful, friendly and knowledgable. It was a great experience from start to finish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Okay...GourmandVIPDined on 6/6/2014Food is always fine here...I don't know, I just think there needs to be a bit more umph? Everything tasted fine...I expect a more magical explosion of flavors from Frank...everything was so so...a bit too pricey for what this place has become...I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service; savory food terrificspaceplutoDined on 5/31/2014Dined here Saturday, May 31. Our server was outstanding and very patient (knowledgeable about the food and wine, good-natured about a very discerning diner in our group, not begrudging our party the chance to linger over coffee/dessert though it was just about closing time, etc.). For the most part, the food was delicious, though the dessert (tiramisu, a should-be slam dunk for an Italian joint) was sadly mediocre. The entrees were all delicious. There were limited options for the vegetarian in our party, but the restaurant was kind about it (bringing a meat-free amuse bouche and offering to consult the chef if any of the menu offerings weren't appealing)- much appreciated! I'd certainly recommend for a nice [adult] meal. Mille grazie!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SpencerrcspencerrcDined on 5/31/2014I love good food and this was excellent, we had reservations and we were seated promptly; however it took an hour and forty minutes to get our meal. Needless to say that spoiled the evening. Sorry guys you need to work on service.Special Features:
- Always Consistent!Tboy5280VIPDined on 5/30/2014Great food, wine, atmosphere and service. Luca always is spot on all on all accounts. Kudos !Special Features:

Miami Springs High graduate Ralph Rodriguez has been helping students express their individuality for years.
This year is no different. The 21-year-old designs custom backpacks using acrylic paint.
Even as years have passed, kids still want me to design their book bags, Rodriguez said. Kids never stop wanting to have the coolest items to show off to their friends.
While Rodriguez provides a less traditional alternative to customized looks, stores are still selling plenty of backpacks and putting their own touches on them.
Gretell Perez, assistant manager of the Claires accessories store in Westland Mall in Hialeah, says that students this season are looking for any backpack or purse that will show off their individuality.
Jansport-type book bags seem to be old news with adolescents, Perez said. Girls shopping at our store want to go to school with purses of all shapes, sizes and textures. She also notes that many teens are purchasing key chain monograms as well as One Direction and Justin Bieber buttons to personalize their backpacks.
Everyone is different in what they use to express themselves, said Nick Gurruchaga, a junior at MAST Academy in Key Biscayne. For any student with or without uniforms, backpacks can be pretty versatile.
With Miami Dade County Public Schools enforcing uniform policies in most schools, students have limited choices on how to stand out.
Although my school has uniforms, girls show off their style with expensive Michael Kors bags or simple side shoulder bags, said Stephanie Trueba, a junior at Miami Killian Senior High in Kendall.

And some schools still offer options on what students can wear. Gulliver Preparatory School in Kendall requires uniforms, but provides students with a wide array of colored polos.
Boys typically wear shades of blue, while girls go for the hot pink and more feminine colors, said Nati Zunjic, a freshman at Gulliver. We may have uniforms, but we also have a variety of choices.
Boys and girls alike will be doing what it takes to stand out this school year.
Rodriguez recalls creating a design for a student whowas a fan of the video game Gears of War. After showing off the design for a few days, he became known for his backpack.
Kids want people to notice them and remember who they are, Rodriguez said.
Another trend this season entails designs based on social media.
Some companies that specialize in customized products are seeing social media names such as Twitter handles replace initials or birth names as IDs. Others are using a wink-wink emoticon or social-media acronyms that not all parents can decipher. Hashtags are notably the of-the-moment, pop-culture rallying point.
As we see customization become more ubiquitous, we see this trend growing, says Marc Cowlin, director of marketing at CafePress, an online retailer that lets consumers put their own stamp on apparel, accessories and more. Teenagers love having something in their hands that no one else has, or that only the right people have.
CafePress has grown simultaneously with social media, and Cowlin says personalization is its fastest-growing category. It seems each day theres a new shop specializing in a hashtag; it could be a saying from a movie, or a plug for a school team or club. (Something like #GoTigers.)
Twitter handles
Cowlin also expects to see upward sales of water bottles and T-shirts labeled with Twitter handles this season, and Twitter chatter indicates similar interest in personalized laptop and cellphone cases.
Daniella Yacobovsky, who co-founded an online jewelry business, Bauble Bar, 18 months ago, sees the same strong interest in personalized products but still was taken by surprise by the success of the companys Twitter handle necklace.
Social media are both a democratizing force in fashion and one that plays to aspirations to be an insider, says Suchit Majmudar, vice president of brand development and strategy for mall retailer Charming Charlie, which sells emoticon necklaces.
Teenagers have for many generations used style both to make a statement and to fit in, he notes, but in 2012, its all quite literally at their fingertips. They understand and feel comfortable using the technology to make the products, adds Cowlin of CafePress.
They grew up with it, they know how to do it. Theyll jump in front of a computer screen and play with design tools until they get it all just the way they want it, he says. Theres a big difference watching my 14 year-old-daughter customize something versus myself or my wife.
