After reportedly "leaning towards" staying at Southern Cal for another season to be able to take the Trojans to a bowl game, left tackle Matt Kalil has decided to turn pro, according to a report by ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
USC T Matt Kalil has decided to turn pro, per sources. Projected as top-5 pick; premier LT prospect. No word on Barkley. #NFL32 #ESPN #USC— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) December 16, 2011
Kalil has been widely projected as a Top 10 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Some expect Kalil to go as high as second overall in the draft. There was some belief that Kalil and USC quarterback Matt Barkley were a "package deal", but there have been no reports on Barkley's status. With Kalil leaving USC, it will leave a big hole to be filled at the left tackle position.

Reviews for Sweet & Spicy Nuts
Sort By :
Very easy to make and tasty!
I made this according to directions. I'm using it to add crunch to a large salad. Turned out perfect. I will make this again.
I had prepared this recipe and I think it's great! that is how I rated this recipe when I prepared it-I had made changes in the recipe: I omitted the chipotle powder and substituted smoky seasoning. I used 6 cups of shelled walnuts, 1-1/2 cups pecan halves OR almonds & substituted 1/4 cup maple syrup for the brown sugar!
I baked the nuts at 250o F. for 25 to 30 minutes in a large roasting pan. This recipe, when adjusted, made almost 3 quarts! This is a wonderful recipe to use as an appetizer and knowing me, I'll turn back to using this recipe! Dawn E. Lowenstein
The flavor is good, but not great. The butter and sugar make it more of a nutty caramel.
These were delicious and super easy. I used a mix of nuts (almonds, walnuts, and pecans). The second time I made them I added a bit of cardamom, chili powder, and extra cayenne b/c we like things spicy. Excellent as-is, even better with the extra kick.

Bank holiday weekend weather
7:34am Thursday 5th April 2012 in Weather News By Paul Jones
As south London and Surrey wake up to a cold and showery Thursday - what does the Easter Bank Holiday have in store?
Morning showers today are set to clear in the early afternoon to leave a mostly dry day with bright or sunny spells.
Temperatures are set to hit 12C.
A Met Office forecaster said: "Tonight, still some cloud at first during the evening.
"Dry and cold overnight with long clear spells and a widespread frost developing. Minimum Temperature -5C."
Tomorrow, as thousands begin a long weekend off, things are set to be a bit gloomy.
"A cold and frosty start," warned the forecaster.
"Becoming cloudy with some light and patchy rain in the north later in the day. Maximum Temperature 13C."
And the pattern looked set to continue throughout the remaining days of the holiday, with clouds and patchy rain hitting the region on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

A Queen Of The Runway Channels -------
The Queen Of The Nile
"Erin has an incredible body and face, and she understands better than anyone the idea behind her designs. The clothes were not necessary!" So says photographer Paola Kudacki of her collaboration with Erin Wasson on the new lookbook for Wasson's Low Luv jewelry line.
For her Spring/Holiday collection, exclusively seen here first, Wasson drew on symbolism from various cultures, from Native American (in a thunderbird pendant and necklace) to Middle Eastern (Evil Eye stacked rings and bangles, which, according to Erin, "mean many different things according to how and which culture you look at"). "I usually design what I find interesting and powerful," she said simply. "I want pieces that look intense and have meaning." Music played a part in her process, too, especially the late Egyptian-born singer Oum Kalthoum, the so-called Star of the East. "Once the music references start popping up, I wanted to portrait her like a goddess, like Nefertiti," Kudacki added. Wasson's hammered rings, chandelier earrings, and crosses studded with rough crystals and black agates are flashy enough for the ruler of an empire—or, paired with Wasson's usual outfit of cutoffs and vintage tees, for a catwalker off duty.

(FOX 11/AP) A California Highway Patrol officer was shot in the leg Thursday during a high-speed chase that ended with a murder suspect dead and another injured, authorities said. The incident began in Yucca Valley, where officers responding to reports of shots fired found a body in a parked car in a shopping mall parking lot, according to published reports. Police and CHP officers pursued two suspects in a high-speed freeway chase that ended in San Bernardino, where one of the suspects opened fire, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported. The officer was injured in the gun battle, one suspect was killed and the other was injured, the paper reported. The officer was expected to survive. A stray bullet from the shootout grazed the mirror of a passenger bus that was picking up people nearby, according to the newspaper. No one on the bus was injured. Authorities say the pursuit continued for about 30 minutes before the suspects and officers engaged in a shootout.

"I'm not the devil. I'm just the guy who taught him everything he knows." Such was my snide retort recently to a control system technician who was taunting me about my rapid console input and how it was taxing the data flow in this massive multi-protocol monstrosity of a network we were working on. I had come in a few hours early that day to tediously sort through a multitude of cue lists and unblock unnecessary DMX information.
The task was normal enough, it just happened to be particularly daunting given the scale of the system, and I wanted to get as much accomplished in the relatively short amount of time I had available. This particular project had about 4,000 lighting fixtures, several video projectors, lighting media servers, professional video media servers, motion control systems, atmospherics, and water pumping stations with a couple of multi-million dollar robots thrown in the mix just to add a modicum of excitement to the show. The control system was running 44 DMX universes over at least three different control protocols. The transmission of it all varied between standard CAT-5 cables, 802.11g wireless, fiber channels, you name it. Triggering was being handled by SMPTE time code, MIDI note, and MIDI show control. If lighting and video could be controlled via Doppler radar, I'm quite certain that it would have been implemented into this system.
This project is, by all accounts, one of the most elaborate control networks on the face of the planet. So when a gremlin gets bored and decides to start creating mischief, you had better have your act together because there are about a million and three things that could go awry. Needless to say, detailed documentation is the key to its success. There are countless numbers of Excel spreadsheets that are constantly updated to keep track of the most menial of changes in the system; those sheets are arguably the most important troubleshooting tools available.
Ah, the details. By all accounts, they're what can make things look their best; when they're not given due attention, lackluster results are sure to follow. Tiny details can be particularly fascinating. When you look closely at things that possess great detail you can see just how much of a person's heart and soul went into creating it. Having said that, I must admit that I have a love/hate relationship with details. For while I truly appreciate the little things and actively seek them out, I find that taking care of them all is usually a tedious and frustrating part of the job.
Which brings me to the old 80/20 rule: When paying such close attention to detail it takes 80 percent of your time to complete the final 20 percent of your work. On this particular project, the 80/20 rule came into play just about every step of the way. This enormous system was pieced together in what could be considered a relatively quick fashion, but getting all the little bits to speak to each other nicely was truly a painstaking process for the system technicians. They worked incredibly long hours each day to see all of these little bits and bytes come together and, in the end, triumphed over what many originally thought couldn't be done.
It was in that last 20 percent of the process where thorough attention to detail was needed most, and it all paid off because it was very much like writing computer code: if one thing went wrong then it could have a domino effect on the system that would send you chasing your tail for hours on end in search of a problem that was happening somewhere completely different.
The 80/20 rule certainly wasn't limited to the control system, either. It reared its ugly head regularly in the cueing sessions as well. We could listen to a piece of music and just about cue it in real time. The lighting department had its act together when it came to rapid access and cue storing. But when it was time to finalize each of the numbers we were creating, there were so many factors that needed to be considered we would be adding point cues for days to carefully mark fixtures and manipulate this massive system so that it would provide absolutely perfect playback. In the end, the shows look quite simple and beautiful, as it should, and the audience will have no idea just how many painstaking hours it took to get that perfect final result.
To which many of you are saying "duh," or words to that effect. Couldn't agree more. This is basic stuff; most projects have the same long and drawn out process in getting to the end result. It is simply the nature of the beast. So why is it that I've recently been involved in more and more shows that have lacked such attention to detail?
One show in particular stood out in my mind. An industry friend and I attended the performance of a permanent theatrical installation that had ungodly amounts of money thrown at it. Over the course of two hours, we saw just about every trick in the book in terms of technological effects, and it was really quite stunning. However, it didn't make up for what seemed to be a lack of attention to detail paid by the lighting department. There were enough sloppy cue transitions to prompt a comment from my counterpart, who normally would not take notice of such things. There also seemed to be a very lax consideration toward physical fixture placement given the fact that a few random fixtures were left out in the open, giving it all away, when others were perfectly hidden.
Am I being persnickety about it? Perhaps. As the theatrical saying goes, "Plays are never finished, they're abandoned," so it's always difficult to know what went on behind the scenes during the creation process that led them to this result. But it felt as though they did all this very hard work until they got close to the end and then let the finer points slide. Worse, it's disheartening to actually notice it.
So what's the bottom line to all of this? Never give up! It's always that last 20 percent that's the hardest to get through, especially mentally. You have to keep pushing yourself to be motivated even when you feel like you've had enough and after working hard toward a goal you owe it to yourself to pay attention to the finer points and make what you have the best that it can possibly be. It is often said that the devil is in the details. Gee, maybe I'm the devil after all.

In this issue of Educational Media we look at web tools that will make your life easier. One, called RSS, will scan many of your favorite websites to see what's new, and deliver it all to one place for you to view. See "What's an RSS Feed?" page 2.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a major corporation send you free magazines, newspaper articles, websites, and blog postings on your favorite topics? You can have that! See "Let Google Be Your Clipping Service" on page 3.
We also take a look at Google features designed specifically for the educator. See "The Teacher's Own Google", page 2. Google tools are a major focus in this issue, because Google works hard to create user friendly interfaces, and because they are almost always web-based.
(I have mostly limited this list to web-based tools. You will not have to download anything onto your computer to use them. At most, you may have to make sure that you have updated Java applets.)
Google also wants to help students and researchers find journal articles, conference papers, and more. See "Google Research" on page 3.
Google gets most of the attention when it comes to web searching—after all, it does billions of searches a year. But there are some other web searching engines that offer much smaller, but higher quality, results. See "Research Beyond Google" on page 4.
More classrooms today are creating Wikis, encyclopedias of useful subject knowledge written and updated by the students. For more information (and a library sample) see "Collaborate on a Classroom Wiki", below.
Did you know you can edit photographs online? Take a look at some free, web-based tools in "Edit Pictures Online" on page 2.
Finally, in "Something Extra", page 4, we take a look at a site that offers free tools for the teacher, teAchnology.com.
A wiki is a website that allows users to edit it. Wikipedia—the collaborative web encyclopedia—is probably the best known example.
You can build a wiki too, and have your students create a dictionary of professional terms, compile procedures for important tasks, share study and test notes, or upload abstracts of their papers or class projects. You can add a variety of resources to a wiki , including exceptional papers, pictures, charts and diagrams. This is one way to save that excellent paper your student did last year, and share it with this years class.
There are several free wiki providers. Wikispaces.com is one web-based wiki site.
You can choose a free, protected space, which will allow you to publish a wiki and—this is the meaning of "protected"—limit who is allowed to edit those pages. Anyone will be able to view the site, but only the people you designate will be able to contribute. In this free version, a discreet strip of ads will appear along the left side of the page.
Wikispaces.com offers excellent tutorials on using the site, and an editing interface strongly based on Word. It took me less than an hour to sign up, create a three page site, and invite two people to edit it.
To see the site that I created, please take a look at the RTC Library Wiki. You will find it at http://rtc-library.wikispaces.com/
Wikispaces.com offers some very useful tools to the wiki manager. You can immediately find out which pages have been edited recently, and by whom. You can even have this information sent to you as an RSS feed.
One piece of advice for new wiki managers: Keep a text copy of important pages. The editing interface is easy for those familiar with Word, but not all of your students may have that training.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Can I make final edits before orders print?
Updated: 05/14/2014
This is for New SmugMug. Click here for help on Legacy SmugMug.
Proof delay lets you adjust the images your customers order before the orders process or ship. You can quickly add "proof" images to SmugMug and then edit only those that are ordered.
Speed up your workflow and still deliver the perfect prints your customers expect.
Alright, I'm hooked. Show me how.
We make it easy. Just go to gallery settings for any gallery. Find the Proof days field and enter a number between 1 and 7. All orders placed for images in that gallery will wait that number of business days to begin processing.
When your customer places an order, we'll let them know that you have requested a few additional days to perfect the order before it is printed.
FYI: Logged-in orders aren't considered pro sales, so they won't be held by Proof Delay. They'll go straight to the print lab.
We've got your back
As soon as an order is placed, we'll fire off an email to you with "PROOF" in the subject. You'll get a link to all the details of the order, including which images have been ordered.
After that, it's up to you. Click Manage in the Sales History section of your Selling tab and click on any order to make changes.
Replacing Images
You can use the Replace Photo button next to an image or the Replace tool in the Tools Menu on the gallery page to replace a single photo. Do not simply add the replacement photo to the same gallery. Only Replace will allow us to update the order properly.
To replace a whole batch of images at once, click the Replace Multiple Photos at the top right of the order summary page. You may need to click "allow" so that the uploader will load properly. Make sure the replacement images have identical filenames as the images that were ordered. Then, just drag and drop or click "Select Files & Folders" and fill up the uploader with as many images as you'd like to replace.
We'll automatically match them up with images on the order by filename. Finally, click "Upload!" and let us do the rest of the work.
FYI: Replacing an image replaces it for all items ordered with that image.
When you're initially uploading photos to a gallery that you intend to replace before printing, remember that our minimum print resolution requirements still apply. Keep the resolution (number of pixels) high enough to sell the prints you want, but shrink the file size by uploading images compressed to jpeg quality 7 and replacing them with jpeg 10 images as they're ordered. This workflow will allow for both speedy uploads and high quality prints.
Crop and Color Correction
You can view and modify the customer's crop for each image, and you'll definitely want to double-check the crop after replacing an image.
If you use EZPrints as your lab, you can also toggle the color correction done at the print lab. Their color correction is optimized for color photos, so some people prefer to turn it off for black and white or sepia images.
Sending to the lab for printing
Finish with time to spare? When you view the order page in your Sales History, click on the Send to lab! button.
As soon as you click the Send to Lab button, the order goes immediately to printing. Replacing images after that point will not change the order.
Each order will process and ship after the specified number of days has passed, whether or not you've replaced any images in that order.
On orders that involve more than one pro who has proof-delay in effect, each pro can Send to Lab when they're ready. The order will be sent after the last pro is finished.
Digital downloads are sold as-is, with no proof-delay before the customer can save the image.

The Bills have signed veteran LB Kirk Morrison to add depth and versatility to their defense. The news was first reported by Jay Glazer of FOX Sports.
Morrison, who played last season with the Jaguars after five years in Oakland, can play both inside and outside linebacker. He also is incredibly durable, having never missed a game during his career, and is considered a high-character locker-room presence.
The unrestricted free agent recorded 89 tackles last season, the lowest total of his career. He was considered expendable by the Jaguars, who signed former Bill Paul Posluszny to a big-money deal in free agency.

The Office of Personnel Management released it annual "Labor-Management Relations: Reports On Official Time" report Monday. The term "official time" refers to " time spent by Federal employees performing representational work for a bargaining unit in lieu of their regularly assigned work." In other words, the time those employees spent doing union activities instead of their job but still getting paid.
This is entirely legal. It is essentially viewed as a trade-off for certain limitations put on federal unions, such as prohibitions on striking.
So how much time was spent doing this? The report found:
During FY 2011, unions represented 1,202,733 non-Postal Federal civil service bargaining unit employees, an increase of 17,048 bargaining unit employees compared to FY 2010. Agencies reported that bargaining unit employees spent a total of 3,395,187 hours performing representational duties on official time, an increase of 9.66 percent compared to FY 2010. Government-wide, the number of official time hours used per bargaining unit employee on representational matters increased from 2.61 hours in FY 2010 to 2.82 hours during FY 2011.
The report also noted: "Official time costs represented one tenth of one percent of the total cost of salary and benefits for Federal employees in FY 2011."
For comparison's sake, the FY 2010 report found that that bargaining unit employees spent a total of 3,096,019 million hours performing union duties on official time. That puts the increase at nearly 300,000 hours in a single year.
It is a significant boost from FY 2008, the last full year of the previous administration, when the number was 2,893,922 hours. In FY 2002 it was as high as 4,765,484 hours. The number steadily decreased during most of the Bush administration, hitting a low of 2,718,142 in FY 2007, before it started rising again.

WIGAN, England (AP) -- Wigan gave its receding hopes of Premier League survival a boost by hanging on to draw 1-1 against West Bromwich Albion at the DW Stadium on Saturday.
Roberto Martinez's side has endured a run of just one win from 14 games but started brightly and dominated a scoreless first half.
Although West Brom managed to come back into the game in the second period, it was Wigan that opened the scoring through James McArthur in the 54th minute.
But the lead turned out to be shortlived as Wigan's poor home form of just one victory this season was again exposed when Paul Scharner equalized in the 65th.
The result moves the Latics to equal points with fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers and Wolves but they remain bottom on goal difference. West Brom move up to 12th.

000 WTPZ44 KNHC 051453 TCDEP4 HURRICANE ISELLE DISCUSSION NUMBER 21 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP092014 800 AM PDT TUE AUG 05 2014 Iselle has changed little in organization during the past six hours. The eye remains well defined, with cloud tops to -70C occurring in the eyewall. Analyses from the SHIPS model and from CIMSS at the University of Wisconsin indicate 15-20 kt of southwesterly vertical wind shear over the system. However, this has not yet disrupted the inner core. The initial intensity remains 110 kt based on a combination of subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate Iselle near 06/0600Z, which will provide ground truth for the intensity. The initial motion estimate is 270/8 kt. The subtropical ridge to the north of Iselle should strengthen during the next several days, which should steer the cyclone generally west-northwestward with an increase in forward speed. The track model guidance remains tightly clustered and forecasts Iselle to pass near or over the Hawaiian Islands in 72-84 hours. Based on this, the new forecast track is again just an update of the previous track, and it lies in the center of the track guidance envelope. The analyzed and 24-hour forecast shear have both increased since the previous advisory, and it is likely that Iselle will lose its annular structure later today or tonight. This should result in weakening along the lines of the previous forecast since a significant part of the circulation is over sea surface temperatures of less than 26C. The intensity forecast becomes more uncertain after 36 hours. The cyclone will be moving over increasing sea surface temperatures west of 152W. The dynamical models are in poor agreement on how much shear the Iselle will experience, with the UKMET forecasting strong shear while the GFS/ECMWF forecast less shear. One last factor is that the cyclone is likely to encounter a very dry air mass as it approaches Hawaii. The intensity guidance responds to these factors by diverging. The SHIPS and Florida State Superensemble forecast an intensity near 40 kt when Iselle gets near Hawaii, while the GFDL and HWRF forecast it to be a hurricane. The intensity forecast from 48-120 hours has been nudged upward in agreement with the LGEM model and the intensity consensus, and it calls for Iselle to be just below hurricane strength near Hawaii. Interests in the Hawaiian Islands should closely monitor the progress of Iselle. However, it is important not to focus too closely on the exact track and intensity forecasts because the average track error 72 hours out is about 100 miles, the average intensity error is about 15 kt. In addition, the hazards of a tropical cyclone can extend over a broad area well away from the center. This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on Iselle. Future Public Advisories will be issued by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center under AWIPS header HFOTCPCP3 and WMO header WTPA33 PHFO, while Forecast/Advisories will be issued under AWIPS header HFOTCMCP3 and WMO header WTPA23 PHFO.

End Ecocide!
19 Jan 14
Slow Food and the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity have joined an important initiative, 'End Ecocide in Europe', which is calling for cases of serious environmental destruction to be recognized as a crime.
'End Ecocide in Europe' is a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), a democratic tool that enables EU citizens to propose amendments to European law and participate directly in the development of EU policies. Unlike other petitions, an ECI legal authority to influence politics. According to the initiative, if at least one million EU citizens from seven different countries support a petition, the proposal must be discussed at European level.
The petition is calling for the introduction of direct criminal liability for individuals and companies responsible for ecocide, defined as "extensive damage to, destruction or loss of ecosystems of a given territory."
The proposed directive will be applied in cases of ecocide within the EU, but also in other countries if caused by European companies or citizens. Ecocide caused by the import of goods or services in Europe, or funded by European banks or financial institutions will also be included.
Today we live in a world where "widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment" is only recognized as a war crime (Article 8.2 of the Rome Statute), meaning that during times of peace, companies and individuals are free to destroy the planet without any legal consequence. We believe it is time to put an end to this absurdity.
Vote to protect our natural habitat: www.endecocide.eu
To verify your identity, it is necessary to provide your address and date of birth when signing. In some countries, such as Italy, it is also compulsory to provide an ID number.

Amarillo, Texas - If there's a call you can't miss when you're behind the wheel, there are legal and affordable ways to answer.
There are also bluetooth sets at several local stores for as low as 20 dollars.
But these days, a bluetooth isn't you're only option.
Manuel Garza of Clear Talk Wireless demonstrates, "Skyvi send text to Laura Black. Laura, come have lunch with me today."
Skyvi is a free app on android phones allowing you to text by talking.
iPhone has a similar app called iris.
"Laura come have lunch with me today. To Laura Black, sending message."
And if you have a couple hundred dollars to spare, a local auto accessories store can install a device in your car allowing talking on your phone to be similar and as simple as adjusting your car radio.
Stacy Robertson of Tunes & Tint says, if someone calls, you're able to answer the phone while you're driving. And then it will mute the speakers in your car or the radio. You'll hear them talking over the speakers in your car. And then as you talk to them, they'll hear you. When the conversation's done, it will turn the radio back on to where you had it before."
Installing this device may not be as time consuming as some would think.
It only takes 2 to 3 hours.
Robertson tells us they've sold nearly two hundred of these parrots and after market radio devices in less than two months.
She says, "the display will mount on the dash. It will still load your contacts. It has a microphone. And it most vehicles it will still mute the radio."
There are also speakers to put in your car that can be attached to your phone.
As well as headphones with small voice speakers on the chord, allowing you to remain completely hands free.

CATEGORIES Box Office Predictions, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeNo, I'm not just recycling lists here. Since there were no new releases last week, this week's top five is the same as last week's, so that sense of deja vu you're experiencing is nothing to worry about.
1. Marley and Me: $24.2 million
2. Bedtime Stories: $20.5 million
3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: $18.6 million
4. Valkyrie: $14 million
5. Yes Man: $13.9 million
We've got three new releases and two films going into wider release starting with:
Bride Wars
What's It All About: Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson star in this comedy about best friends who become bitter rivals when their weddings are scheduled for the same day.
Why It Might Do Well: We've got two highly charismatic leads and a cute premise that should appeal to women.
Why It Might Not Do Well: Men will run screaming from this one.
Number of Theaters: 3,000
Prediction: $21 million
Not Easily Broken
What's It All About: Based on a novel by T.D. Jakes, Not Easily Broken is the story of a married couple facing various crises involving money, children and faith.
Why It Might Do Well: To be honest, I'm at a loss.
Why It Might Not Do Well: A story that seems less than extraordinary and a small release will keep this out of the top five.
Number of Theaters: 600
Prediction: $3 million
The Unborn
What's It All About: Odette Yustman, of Cloverfield stars with Gary Oldman in this supernatural thriller that has a young woman fighting off possession by an evil entity eager to be born into our world.
Why It Might Do Well: If you like the scary stuff (and I do) the premise seems pretty cool, and the fact that it's written and directed by one of the writer's of The Dark Knight can't hurt.
Why It Might Not Do Well: There are a lot of strong films out there right now, and competition may be too stiff.
Number of Theaters: 2,200
Prediction: $11 million
And expanding into wider release are:
Gran Torino
What's It All About: Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this story of a Korean War veteran coming to terms with his own prejudices in his increasingly multi-ethnic neighborhood.
Why It Might Do Well: Um, I believe I already said "Clint Eastwood." The film also scored 73% Fresh on Rottentomatoes.com.
Why It Might Not Do Well: Don't see that happening.
Number of Theaters: 2,600
Prediction: $15 million
The Reader
What's It All About: A man recalls his romantic liason with a woman in Germany in the years following World War II and her subsequent trial for war crimes.
Why It Might Do Well: Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes play the leads and the film scores 61% Fresh at Rottentomatoes.com.
Why It Might Not Do Well: It will probably satisfy those looking for some arthouse drama.
Number of Theaters: Not available.
Prediction: Impossible to say without number of theaters.
Next week is a tricky call but here's how I think it will go:
1. Bride Wars
2. Gran Torino
3. Marley and Me
4. Bedtime Stories
5. The Unborn
I'm assuming last week's unusually light turnout for the competition was because of the New Years holiday and the lack of new releases. Either that or it's my breath. Anyway, here's how we all did:
1. Matt 16
1. Ray: 16
2. Gregory Rubinstein: 12
2. Vera: 12
3. Zack: 11
Post your predictions for the top five movies in the comments section below before 5:00PM Eastern Time on Friday. One point for every top five movie correctly named, two points for every correct placement, and one extra point for the top movie.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by sparkydog Super lightweight & cool shorts I purchased these for my husband because he likes to stand out in the crowd and these definitely did not disappoint! I purchased the blue, green and orange. The pattern and shimmer on the shorts looks great, the material is super lightweight and will be nice and cool when it starts getting really hot out. He says that they are very comfortable and the fit is good. He's not a basketball player, more of a spectator so these will see more action on the couch than on the court! ;) To give him credit, he does wear these to the gym to work out on the elliptical. I wish they made shorts with this material in a women's style because I would like them also! May 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mitashi Intimidation I bought two pairs of these shorts because of their lizard-like appearance in hopes of them making me more cold-blooded on the court. They didn't disappoint. May 9, 2014

MACON, Ga. (AP) - A central Georgia judge gave the woman a choice: Wear a sign proclaiming that she was a fool or spend four weekends in jail.
The woman, 38-year-old Natasha Latrice Freeman, chose the sign. It says "I made a fool out of myself on a Bibb County Public Schools bus."
The Macon woman pleaded guilty to battery and making terroristic threats during a Monday hearing in Bibb County Superior Court.
Prosecutor Sandra Matson said she went onto a school bus April 4 and repeatedly struck her 11-year-old cousin and pulled the girl's hair. Freeman apologized during Monday's court hearing.
The Telegraph reports (http://bit.ly/TGuMJi) that Judge Howard Simms sentenced her to wear the sandwich-board-style sign at the bus stop from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. for one week starting Dec. 10.

Rupert Grint Interview with "Alloy"Grint Interviews
There is a new interview with actor Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) in "Alloy" where he discusses both the Harry Potter films, and his new movie Driving Lessons. Rupert discusses why he took on this new role, and how it was different making this film than the Potter films. Some excerpts:
Why did you decide to do a different type of movie now?
RG: The Harry Potter movies are so long, and as good as they are, it's nice to do something different. This came up, and I figured it would be a nice change. It's a much more grown up film -- there's a bit of swearing in it. Also, I was looking forward to the driving bit.
You had your first onscreen kiss in this flick. How was it?
RG: That was a bit different. It wasn't as bad as I thought.
In the Harry Potter movies, you did a lot of acting with a blue screen, where special effects were added in later. How did it feel to just do straight acting in a natural setting?
RG: It was different. [With] every Harry Potter, [there's] been blue screens -- we've had to act with nothing. It was much easier not having to do that this time. There are no special effects with this one; it's more straightforward, which made it more appealing to do because of the contrast.
To read the entire interview, click here. Driving Lessons will screen at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sun. April 30th at 8:30pm . Thanks to HPFZ!

We were called around 1430 hours, greeted at the lift and taken to our suite, a rear facing Horizon suite with a spacious balcony. The suite itself was bigger than on the sister ship, Mariner, with a larger marble bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. An excellent walk in closet, which served if you wished as a small dressing room, large bed and a sofa, two armchairs, a table, in-room refrigerator large, screen TV and wall desk completed the furniture. Fresh fruit, flowers and a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket completed an impressive display. We were asked which spirits we required to stock the cold box with for the cruise ( a bottle each person) and told soft drinks would bw replenished each day or twice a day if necessary as was ice also.
We had chosen the Western Med itinerary because of the ports, Livorno, the port for Florence, Portofino, St. Tropez, Marseilles, Sete, Monte Carlo and finally Nice. We chose not to join excursions which involved a lot of walking so at Livorno we went on a coach through the Tuscan countryside ending up at a small wine tasting auberge. In Portofino we joined a boat trip along the coast, in St. Tropez we toured the old town (we noticed Voyager's Chef buying fish and veg in the town). Marseilles we did on our own using the shuttle bus as our docking was quite a long way from the city. Sete was the only wet day and Regent laid on some extra activities on board though we did venture out between the showers. Monte Carlo was beautiful and a visit to the Royal Palace was a must. Finally we sailed in the evening the short (just over an hour) distance to Nice and were given the opportunity to go ashore but as we were disembarking next morning we chose to have a relaxing dinner on board.
Evening entertainment was provided by a troupe of singers and dancers but after the first night one of the leading singers hurt his shoulder and he was flown home. Their place on stage was taken by a concert pianist and a Lionel Richie type entertainer. There were several parties, a welcome, a Captain's Hello to regulars, a crew do and a farewell and free drink flowed at them all.
I would not wish to close without mentioning the staff. As Regent are a no-tipping line, their smiles and concern for guests welfare struck us as really genuine. They made a big fuss and we felt we had made some really good friends.
We look forward to the next time we can sail with Regent.

School is out, summer is here, and for many families, that brings big concerns about how they'll feed their kids.
During the school year, students are given free breakfast and lunch. In Hillsborough County, 60 percent of students qualify for free lunches.
"Those same kids need to eat during the summer," explains Mary Kate Harrison, GM of Student Nutrition Services for Hillsborough County.
So for the 20th year, Hillsborough County is offering its summer food program. This summer, they expect to prepare 12,000 lunches, 3,000 breakfasts, and 15,000 afternoon snacks.
Kids don't even have to be a part of the summer school program.
"Any child can come to us, go to any site, take advantage of the summer program. They do not have to be enrolled in the program," Harrison said.
It is completely free, paid for by the federal government. Any child under the age of 18 can go to one of the school sites, or one of the 84 city or county Parks and Recreation sites.
The Hillsborough County School District is even bringing the food to the kids. The Food Bus is driving out to the county's migrant community.
"This is the first time this year that we're doing it with the school buses and doing it organized with the box breakfast and the box lunches, " says Teri Krage, with Student Nutrition Services.
They set up at four different sites in Dover, Wimauma, Ruskin and Plant City.
"It's very important that these children get fed everyday, because a lot of them, with as much moving around that they do, their parents do with their jobs, they don't always necessarily get a good balanced breakfast or lunch or any kind of food at all," Krage said.
On Monday, the first day of the food bus, they had 150 prepared breakfast boxes. But the response was so overwhelming, they needed 50 more.
"We're ready to get them out there and get fed wake up their brains, if they get their brains woken up, they learn better and function better," Krage said.
The Summer Food Service program will run Monday through Thursday,
from June 11 to August 10. Parents or guardians should call individual sites to
verify if they are providing lunch and breakfast and verify meal times.

An Albany man files a multi-million dollar federal lawsuit against an Albany Police officer, saying he was jailed for 16 months even though the officer knew he was innocent.
This is Richard Hayes mug shot, when he was arrested in September 2009 and charged with aggravated assault and gang participation when he was 17-years old.
In his suit against Albany Police Officer Charles Flowers, Hayes says he was unjustly held in the Dougherty County jail for the next year and four months. In March 2011 the charges against Hayes were dropped.
"When you talk about taking away somebody's freedom for a couple of hours it's one thing," said Hayes' attorney James Finkelstein. But for a year and four months when they were 17 years old. To spend those months in jail locked up for a crime he didn't commit, that's a terrible injustice."
In his lawsuit, Hayes asks for a jury trial. He's seeking more than two million dollars in general and punitive damages. Albany City Attorney Nathan Davis said they will vigorously defend against the lawsuit, and said the suit was without merit.

Members of the First Baptist Church in Lufkin are spending
their weekends, hammers and nails in hand, constructing a home for a family in
"This was an
important mission for our church," said Mark Morris, Church Member.
The congregation is building a 940 square foot home for a family
in the Rio Grande Valley.
The family of five is currently living in a travel trailer,
making living conditions a challenge for
relatives with specific medical needs.
"The father, Mr.
Torres is disabled he had polio as a youth has lost the use of his legs," said
David Sander, church member.
Volunteer Mark Morris says he and a few others traveled to
the Valley and helped another church build a home, now their entire
congregation has the chance to give back.
Here, in the church's parking lot, they will construct the
floor, sub-flooring and parts of the wall and finish the home during spring
"We've kind of
designed it to its to be where its in modules and we'll be able to take those
modules a part ship it down to the valley and put it back together," said
Volunteers hope their work will lay the foundation for a
brighter future for a family in need.
"Well our mission as Christians is to serve and we feel like
this is a good way to serve," said Sanders.
A church member has donated two ton trucks to transport the
home, they will spend 10 days in the valley completing the project.

The San Diego Padres traded away their best remaining trade chip for a pitcher who has been both a starter and a reliever; the Chicago Cubs acquired a hitter who filled a position of need, but who might not be ready for the majors just yet. How would they be used?
Good question. First from Scott Miller:
Cubs GM Hoyer: Plan is Rizzo open at AAA Iowa and LaHair start season at 1B.
...and again:
Padres GM Byrnes says views Cashner as reliever in 2012. Set-up role makes sense, but GM says not going to "anoint" him now as 8th ing man
There you have it. Bryan LaHair, a 28-year-old who has ridden more buses than any man should ever have to, will not get his first chance at a major-league job yoinked away from him with one cruel transaction. He'll still be the ostensible starter.
And considering how the Padres have found relievers in the past -- in free boxes around the league, through minor deals, and by building them with slider dust and Tinkertoys -- it's more than a little curious that they gave up their best trade chip for a young pitcher they intend to put in the bullpen, but Cashner does have an impressive arm, and it's not crazy for a GM like Josh Byrnes to covet someone like that.
