Apfel Donates Fashion Trove to Peabody Essex Museumby Jan Sjostrom
Palm Beach fashion icon Iris Apfel is dressing up the fashion and textiles collection at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. Apfel is donating more than 600 pieces of clothing and accessories by prominent designers to the museum. Included is clothing by Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Dior and Alexander McQueen. All were featured in Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel, which was organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The show visited the Norton Museum in 2007.
In addition, Apfel and her husband, Carl, have bequeathed an undisclosed sum that will support the Peabody Essex's fashion and textiles exhibitions program. A fashion and textiles gallery in the museum's new wing, scheduled to open in 2017, will be named in her honor.
Apfel and the Peabody Essex struck up a relationship when Rare Bird of Fashion traveled there in 2009. She has been donating 80 to 90 pieces of clothing and jewels from her collection annually to the institution since 2010. Her latest gift brings the total destined for the museum to nearly 900 pieces.

Physical Characteristics of New England
- The Ice Age created a soil that was poor. Further, glacial drift resulted in rocky areas peppered with large boulders.
- Rivers were fairly short, unlike in other areas of America, and did not allow for the rise of huge agricultural plots along their banks.
- The major resources were lumber and fisheries.
The People of New England
- The New England region was an area of mostly homogeneous culture. The English settled in large groups.
- The settlers in the New England colonies settled in towns, typically surrounded by 40 square miles of land that was farmed by the individuals who lived in the towns.
Major Occupations in New England
- Agriculture - While not fertile, towns were surrounded by farms owned by the workers. They had a high degree of mechanical ingenuity and self-sufficiency.
- Fishing - In 1633, Boston first exported fish. In 1639, Massachusetts was exempted from paying taxes on fishing boats. The fishing industry was huge by 1700. Over and above normal fishing, whaling was also a major occupation of the region.
- Commerce - Individuals from the New England area were heavily involved in commerce. The trade with England allowed ship holders to flourish. Further, they traded with the West Indies and the French colonies to the north.
New England Religion
- Calvinism and the Social Contract Theory - Many individuals who lived in the New England area were Calvinists or heavily influenced by John Calvin's works and thought. While many look at John Locke as one of the founders of the idea of the social contract, that the state is an agreement or contract between the individuals to join together into a society, Calvinist doctrine was one of the first to espouse the idea in England. The fact that many New England settlers followed the religious doctrines of John Calvin meant that this theory was part of their religious heritage. Further, this belief in the importance of contracts transferred to economic contracts as well.
- A Belief in Predestination - One of the tenets of Calvinism is the idea of predestination. This was the belief that God had already predetermined everything, including who was going to heaven and who to hell.
- Congregationalism - The church itself was governed by its own members. The congregation chose its own minister.
- Intolerance - While the puritans might have escaped England due to religious persecution, they did not come to America to establish religious freedom for all. They wanted to be free to worship the way they wished. Non-conformists such as Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams were thrown out of the church.
The Spread of the New England Population
- Towns were fairly small, surrounded by farms owned by the workers within the town. This resulted in a rapid spread of many small towns as population pressures arose. Therefore, instead of having a few large metropolises, the area of dotted with many smaller towns as the population moved and founded new settlements.
In essence, New England was an area that had been founded by a fairly homogeneous population, most of whom shared common religious beliefs. Due to the lack of huge tracts of fertile land, the area turned to commerce and fishing as their main occupations, though individuals within towns still worked small plots of land in the surrounding area. This turn to commerce would have a major impact many years later after the founding of the United States when questions of states rights and slavery were being discussed.

Design panel to step into fray over affordable housing in Portola Valley

do people want to live in san mateo county? is there affordable housing in portola valley? this has been going on for too long around the bay area. get people's heads out of the clouds and be realistic about places to live that people can afford

Let's not forget that the real reason the 8 units were not put in at Blue Oaks was because the residents there did not want BMR's in their neighborhood. It may have something to do with complex topography and cost but those lots are not that steep nor complex that 4 duplexes could not easily be built there. PV's real mistake in all this was not requiring the BMR's to be built BEFORE any private homes, then we'd be done and have met our BMR obligation.
Let's also remember that the Windmill school proposal was a brilliant plan for the 900 Portola Road site, so it's not just suitable for small home development.

Police could close entertainment spots in Mandeville
Mandeville, Manchester — Police chief in Manchester, Superintendent Lascelles Taylor, says approximately twelve clubs and bar operators at Caledonia Courts Plaza on Caledonia Road may have to close their doors if proper security arrangements are not implemented.
Taylor's comment comes against the background of reports of anti-social behaviour and violence, which has led to three deaths on the plaza in less than a week.
Last Saturday Dwayne Anthony Reid, who was wanted for two murders in St Elizabeth and gun related crimes in Manchester was shot and killed by the police.
And Wednesday night, two men, Alexander Elliot and Steven Collier, were shot and killed in a sports bar allegedly after an altercation with other men.
"Based on intensive investigation carried out the police in Manchester, under my leadership, we have come to the conclusion that there is a serious problem as it relates to Caledonia Courts," Taylor told the Observer following a meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce late Thursday.
"During our investigations we have found that there are a number of security breaches. We have also found out that the Plaza is operating loose … in which you find a number of undesirables — street people, gangsters, drug addicts, that's their meeting place," said Taylor.
He added that a meeting had been scheduled for Friday afternoon (November 2) between the police and "operators of spirit licence premises and clubs and until we are satisfied that they put in place the necessary security arrangements then they are not going to be allowed to operate."
Taylor had earlier told the business community that the police were working on a plan to be sent to Commissioner of Police Owen Ellington by the end of the year to explain how crime will be controlled in the parish.
He said that the input of varying stakeholders including the service clubs, citizens associations, taxi associations, school principals, security firms, Manchester Parish Council and the Social Development Commission was considered necessary to make the anti-crime plan more effective.
At the same time Taylor insisted that business operators would have to look beyond profit margin in order to effectively assist with the process.
"Some of the times as business people, it is greed (why crimes are not reported). In Manchester you have a certain set of persons; they are going to remain nameless. Those persons are very disruptive but they have the money spending. They have the money because they come by the money easily," he declared.
"What you find is that a number of entertainment centres including the clubs or the spirit licence premises encourage them to come there. Even if they are being disruptive nobody will call in the police because of fear that they will not come there and they won't spend any money there. Even when they take out their guns and they commit crimes in the presence of these business people everybody blind like blind Bartimaeus," Taylor said.
"Don't be selfish and watch the money. If you realise that a man is undesirable, no matter how much money him a spend a yuh business place don't accommodate him, don't encourage him," he emphasised.

Might free agent Kevin Millwood return to the Orioles, for whom he toiled in 2010? According to MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli, management has kicked around the idea:
The Orioles are, at least, considering the possibility of bringing back veteran Kevin Millwood, although it remains to be seen if the right-hander -- who opted out of his contract with the Yankees on Sunday -- would accept a Minor League deal.
Millwood was 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA in 31 starts with Baltimore in 2010, and given the team's lack of starting-rotation depth, the O's have kicked around the idea.
Showalter bristled when a media member asked if the sentiment around Millwood in the Orioles organization was "been there, done that."
"I think that's a little cold for a guy like Kevin," he said. "If you are looking at it purely statistically, you can say whatever you want to say. But I kind of feel a little bit more as Kevin is a human being than some slab of meat that pitches. He's a good man. He's professional and a lot of times last year, that 'been there, done that' was pretty good for the Orioles, OK?"
Spoken like a real Baseball Man.
Millwood's last year was ... um, interesting. He made 31 starts and pitched 191, which was no doubt valuable on a team stocked mostly with young, tender-armed pitchers.
He won four of those 31 starts, thus becoming only the fourth pitcher since World War II to start at least 30 games and win fewer than five of them. Millwood did deserve a better fate -- anyone would -- but his 5.10 ERA wasn't exactly sparkling and at this point in his career he just gives up too many home runs.
In his rehab outings with the Yankees last month, he gave up three home runs in nine triple-A innings.
All of which is neither here nor there, really. Kevin Millwood is a replacement-level pitcher, at best, but there's obviously a place in the game, and sometimes even the majors, for replacement-level pitchers.
I just don't figure how there's a place for him on the Orioles.
The Orioles have four young starters in their rotation. One of them, Brad Bergesen, maybe shouldn't be. They've also got a veteran, Jeremy Guthrie, who's plenty reliable. And as Ghiroli notes, (young) Brian Matusz and (veteran) Justin Duchscherer might both return to action before June. Which could give the Orioles seven starting pitchers, at least five of whom could pitch for most major-league teams.
Unless the Orioles need a mentor for the guys in triple-A Norfolk, I just don't see a fit here. More like a misfit.

The Swedish Government announced today that it will provide funds to the work of the International Commission on Missing Persons through the year 2010. The contribution of 15 Million Swedish Kronor (2.3 MUS$) from the Government of Sweden to ICMP will help them to provide assistance in locating, recovering and identifying missing persons for the next few years.
Accompanied by ICMP's Director General Kathryne Bomberger, H.E. Ambassador Lars-Erik Wingren, the Swedish Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, visited ICMP's main laboratory in Sarajevo where ICMP conducts DNA extraction and genetic profiling from samples of mortal remains and of blood samples from surviving relatives. Following the tour, Ambassador Wingren and Ms. Bomberger signed a donation agreement.

Sweden Commits funds to ICMP through 2010Monday, February 18th, 2008
The Swedish Government announced today that it will provide funds to the work of the International Commission on Missing Persons through the year 2010. The contribution of 15 Million Swedish Kronor (2.3 MUS$) from the Government of Sweden to ICMP will help them to provide assistance in locating, recovering and identifying missing persons for the next few years.
US Ambassador visits ICMP in TuzlaWednesday, February 13th, 2008
During his first visit to the facilities of the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) in Tuzla today, the US Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, H.E. Charles L. English said that the work of ICMP is critical to the process of justice and reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as other parts of the region affected by the conflicts of the 1990's.
Accompanied by ICMP Director-General, Kathryne Bomberger, the ambassador visited ICMP's center where all blood reference samples are collected by ICMP from relatives of the missing and all bone samples received from government authorities are processed. After being bar coded they are sent to ICMP laboratories in Sarajevo and Banja Luka for DNA analysis. Once extracted, the DNA profiles are entered into ICMP's database and matched. The ambassador also visited the Podrinje Identification Project (PIP), which was specifically created to assist in the identification of persons missing from the 1995 fall of Srebrenica.
"It is my somber privilege to be here to see first hand the important work being done by the International Commission on Missing Persons. I use the term somber, because such a Commission should never have to exist. But the horrors of the 1992-1995 war here have necessitated its existence. I commend the Commission on their outstanding efforts to provide closure to the families of all the victims," English said following his visit to ICMP's Identification Coordination Division (ICD) in Tuzla. "For families, the value of finally knowing the fate of their relatives, no matter how painful, is immensely important".
"Without the initiative and foresight of the US Government, there would be no ICMP today. ICMP is an international commission that was created at the behest of the US Government in 1996 and we are grateful to the United States for the immense financial and political support it has provided to ICMP since the beginning of its work. Without their continued support, as well as the support of other ICMP donor countries, our work would be impossible", Bomberger said.
ICMP assists governments in the process of locating, recovering and identifying missing persons through the use of forensic archaeology, anthropology and DNA science. ICMP made its first DNA match on November 16, 2001 and till today over 13,000 different individuals were identified, of which over 10,000 are from Bosnia and Herzegovina and over 5,000 from the 1995 fall of Srebrenica. ICMP provides policy assistance to governments in the establishment of appropriate laws and mechanisms to address the missing persons issue and it strengthens the ability of civil society groups and family members of victims to engage in this important humanitarian and human rights issue.
The work of ICMP is supported by the Governments of Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Switzerland, Greece, Germany, the Holy See, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. The C.S. Mott Foundation provides funding to ICMP for the "Paths to Reconciliation" project.
First Official Visit of MPI Representatives to ICMP facilitiesTuesday, February 12th, 2008
Representatives of the Missing Persons Institute for Bosnia and Herzegovina (MPI), including the chair of the Steering Board, Ms. Jasminka Dzumhur and Steering Board members Ivo Jurcevic, Dusan Sehovac and Jadranka Durakovic; MPI Advisory Board members, Munira Subašić, Ahmet Grahić and Zvonimir Kubinek along with Sesenam Cosic, Head of the War Crimes Unit of the Tuzla Cantonal Prosecutors Office, visited the facilities of the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) in Tuzla on Monday.
The objective of their visit was to have a better understanding of the complicated process of identifying persons missing from the armed conflicts in BiH in 1992-1995.
Accompanied by ICMP's Government Relations Coordinator, Klaudia Kuljuh, they visited ICMP's Podrinje Identification Project (PIP), where mortal remains from the 1995 fall of Srebrenica are stored and identified, ICMP's Identification Coordination Division (ICD), where all blood samples collected by ICMP from relatives of the missing and all bone samples received from government authorities are archived and sent to ICMP labs for testing, and the Lukavac Re-association Center (LKRC) where ICMP's experts combine DNA technology and anthropological analysis to re-associate skeletal remains exhumed from secondary mass graves associated with the fall of Srebrenica.
"We are grateful to ICMP for the incredible work it has accomplished in providing assistance to BiH. Their work will contribute to the work of the MPI in its first important task, which is to establish a single, central record that would include a list of those who went missing during the conflicts. This database will include the records of the Federation Commission on Missing Persons, the Republika Srpska Office on Missing Persons, as well as relevant materials and documents from ICMP and ICRC. The central list will be subjected to a rigorous verification process that will ensure its accuracy," stressed Chairwoman of the MPI Steering Board, Jasminka Dzumhur.
"The creation of a unified list of missing persons from the conflicts will not only ensure that governments provide accurate information regarding numbers of missing, but it will also guarantee that all families of missing persons have an equal right to know the fate of their relatives regardless of their ethnic or religious background," said Ms. Kuljuh.
The commencement of work of the MPI brings the Law on Missing Persons, which was adopted in November 2004, one step closer to implementation. The Law safeguards the right of families to know the fate of a missing loved one and to assert their rights for effective domestic remedies. The Law also stipulates the establishment of the Fund for Support for Missing Persons Families. The Fund will secure financial means for realization of the rights of the relatives of missing persons, including support to their associations, and marking of exhumations and burial sites.
The MPI was inaugurated as a State-level body on 30 August 2005 and has taken over the responsibilities, staff and budgets of the entity bodies formerly charged with these responsibilities. ICMP is the co-founder of the Missing Persons Institute, which has been working in full capacity since 1 January.

Learning Commons seeks input from Queen's community
The Queen's Learning Commons (QLC) offers an inviting, collaborative learning space where students can pursue and share ideas in an enriched learning environment. As the Learning Commons celebrates its 5th anniversary, the QLC partners are asking members of the Queen's community to provide feedback about what the Learning Commons has already accomplished, and what its priorities should be moving forward.
"The Commons really is a place for active learning, and it brings together students who have a chance to work in a multidisciplinary way," says Sharon Murphy, Head of the Library Academic Services Division. "It's time to take a look and see what we're doing, if we're doing what we intended to do. The more responses we get the better idea we'll have of what Queen's wants us to be doing next."
Located on the ground floor of Stauffer Library, the Learning Commons' academic support services and resources are provided by five partners: the Library; IT Services; Learning Strategies Development; Library Services for Students with Disabilities; and the Writing Centre. Thousands of students use the QLC each year participating in workshops, individual consultations, peer mentoring, collaboration and the annual Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Research Conference.
Queen's community members are being asked to complete a short survey; it's available in two forms – one for undergraduate and graduate students, and another for faculty, staff, and administration.
Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey before Monday, April 11 and help guide the future direction of the Queens's Learning Commons. For more information on the QLC, visit the website.

Thursday, Vermont Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn illustrated the difference between 1 ounce and 2 ounces of marijuana for the House Judiciary Committee. The legislators are taking testimony on replacing criminal penalties for relatively small amounts of marijuana with a civil fine of $100.
Flynn says any drug reform must include education, rehab, and allow law enforcement to focus on bigger priorities.
"This enables us to accomplish those tasks," Flynn said.
As currently written, House Bill 200 would decriminalize up to 2 ounces of pot, two mature plants and seven immature plants. Tickets would not land on a user's criminal record.
Flynn says he supports decriminalization, but the cutoff should be 1 ounce. He thinks plants could get gardeners into sticky situations.
"If they happen to mature at the same time, we're essentially walking people into a felony conviction and I don't believe that's the purpose behind it," Flynn said.
The bill's primary sponsor, Rep. Chris Pearson, says the bill's purpose is to ensure a minor marijuana charge doesn't derail the lives of offenders or consume significant police resources. He says in practice, prosecutors and law enforcement have already implemented a degree of decriminalization.
"But this bill makes sure that the law would be applied equally and evenly across the state," said Pearson, P-Burlington.
Every year about 1,100 people receive misdemeanor marijuana possession charges. The Joint Fiscal Office estimates that streamlining the legal process as proposed could save the state $750,000, as officers and prosecutors spend less time on pot cases. Supporters of the measure say it could also save the futures of young offenders.
Under the proposed law, those under 21 caught with marijuana would face the same process as those caught underage drinking. The law would not alter prohibitions on drugged driving.

3.89/5 rDev -1.5%
This has been my go-to place for craft/imported beers since moving out to the craft beer desert that is Granbury, TX.
Still, the selection is absolutely excellent considering the location. Plenty of fridges stocked with good variety without paying too much homage/shelf space to BMC. They keep a variety of Texas craft in stock as well as some of my favorites (Rogue, St. Bernardus, Unibroue, and Rahr).
The staff is not overly friendly, but cordial. Beer knowledge seems to be lacking and they seem to have a general apathy toward craft beers. When they don't seem to have what you're looking for, recommendations for alternatives range from ok to downright silly. But that isn't a big deal since this store is all about convenience for me. It's located right on the main highway (377), and I can pop in, find something of quality, and get out. Unfortunately, the majestic website search hasn't worked well for weeks, so there's no way to know ahead of time what's in stock.

This place is great. In the middle of the small town of granbury tx i did not expect to find a selection of craft ike this. there is about 16 fridges with craft brew inside.from the local stuff to brooklyn brwery to soo many imports like westmalle and la chouffe. this place is great.
The staff is friendly, but im not sure they know to much beer. I dont mind it since the selection is top notch.
they will order anything that they have available to them. I have ordered a few cases of things i normally cant get.

When Garrett Hedlund was cast as Dean Moriarty in ōOn The Roadö back in 2006, he had no idea that heÆd have to wait four more years for the film to go into production.
In the meantime, he managed to work on other films like ōGeorgia Rule,ö ōCountry Strongö and ōTron: Legacy.ö But if there was a hint of a conflict, Hedlund, much to his agentsÆ chagrin, pledged his loyalty to the indie film which Brazilian director Walter Salles adapted from Jack KerouacÆs Beat Generation bible.
ōIt was a fact that for two or three years, I was saying no to everything that came across the table, and (my agents) were, like, ōAll right, you go off and do that film. I hope Mr. Salles is happy. (Soon people will be saying), æWhere have you been for the last three years?Æ, ō recalls Hedlund. ōAgents and managers despise passion projects sometimes.ö
Published in 1957, ōOn The Roadö has been a passion project for many creative folks through the years. Back in the Æ60s, there was talk of Marlon Brando starring in a movie version opposite Kerouac. And in the Æ70s, Francis Ford Coppola (whoÆs credited as executive producer on this version) acquired the rights but was unable to get an adaptation off the ground.
ItÆs easy to see why the book enticed Hollywood. ItÆs the largely autobiographical story of Kerouac alter ego Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer who is bewitched by the free-spirited Dean Moriarty (Hedlund) Ś a stand-in for Kerouac pal Neal Cassady Ś and his gal pal Marylou (Kristen Stewart).
Together, the trio hits the road for a series of adventures that fly in the face of the conservatism of the times. Looking to push the limits, Paradise and his pals experiment with drugs and sex, while refusing to get jobs or allowing themselves to be defined by conventional family set-ups.
Along the way, the free-spirits cross paths with a number of eccentric individuals played by Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams, Kirsten Dunst, Elisabeth Moss, Alice Braga and Tom Sturridge as Allen Ginsberg.
It wasnÆt just Hedlund who stayed committed to ōOn The Roadö for four years. Stewart was cast back in 2006 after turning in a particularly strong performance in Sean PennÆs ōInto the Wild.ö Even after shooting five ōTwilightö movies, she never wavered in her desire to play Marylou.
As the years ticked away, Hedlund became worried that the film would take so long to get made that heÆd age out of the part.
ōEverybody grew a bit too old,ö he admits. ōThat was one of my fears with it because ģ in the book, Dean is 21. We started filming it when I was 25. I turned 26 on it. Now, IÆm 28.ö
In retrospect, as irritating as the long wait was for Hedlund, heÆs glad he had four years to prepare for what he considers the role of a lifetime.
ōNow, looking back on those four years, (I think I gained) life experience and life seasoning as well as much more knowledge and wisdom about the ways things work. I think I learned more about people and how (they) get what they want, and also I feel like I know America a little bit more. ō
Ironically, ōOn The Roadö is just one of a trio of new movies covering the history of the Beats. Also upcoming is ōKill Your Darlingsö which casts Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg and ōBig Sur,ö an adaptation of KerouacÆs autobiographical novel starring Josh Lucas and Jean-Marc Barr.
Before ōOn The Roadö went into production, Hedlund and Salles hit the road together for a cross country trip. Salles brought along a camera in case he saw something he wanted to incorporate into the film.
ōWalter and I got to take a 1949 Hudson from New York all the way to Los Angeles,ö says Hedlund. ōThe greatest thing about that was that we didnÆt have a time when we had to get home.
ōWe knew that any footage we got out of the wonderful landscapes across America was only going to help us with the film or help us as people.ö
The road trip was not without its speedbumps.
ōWe broke down over nine times across the country, in different locations, and met some of the most wonderful mechanics across the United States,ö he said.
Hedlund thinks every generation falls in love with ōOn The Roadö because, at its heart, it is a story of an almost unbearably intense friendship.
ōAll of these people had such an eagerness to express everything, from the deepest parts of their souls, to each other,ö he says. ōThatÆs what I was really attracted to within this.ö
Hedlund admits heÆs also a sucker for the look and feel of the era that gave birth to the Beats.
ōIt was such a wonderful time Ś the late Æ40s and Æ50s Ś and I have always romanticized it,ö says the actor. ōPeter OÆToole said once that his idea of heaven was walking from one smoke-filled room to another, and thatÆs what this time period always seems like to me.
ōThere are all these black and white photos of people sweating their asses off, in these incredible outfits. All the men wore suits and hats, and all the women wore these fantastic dresses, and they were dancing without a care in the world, or so it seemed.ö
Not unlike some of the characters in the book, Hedlund is a small-town boy who dreamed big. He was born in Roseau, Minn., and raised on a cattle farm near Wannaska, Minn.
After graduating from high school in 2003, Hedlund moved to Los Angeles and less than a month later, he nabbed the juicy role of Patroclus in ōTroy,ö which starred Brad Pitt and OÆToole. Afterwards, he appeared in ōFriday Night Lightsö and ōFour Brothers.ö
As a teenager in Minnesota, Hedlund felt a sense of wanderlust that his ōOn The Roadö alter ego experience.
ōThese guys were trying to explore all aspects in life, when few others were,ö says Hedlund. ōThey just had this yearning for adventure.
ōFor me, growing up in such a small town in the middle of nowhere, the desire to away was incredible. I wanted to see new lands, meet new people from the cityģI had a yearning to live and be on my own, and to journey and get away.ö
In the movie, as the book, Moriarty is totally un-self-conscious about his body. When heÆs first introduced, heÆs not only completely naked but heÆs more than willing to give all of his new friends a big hug.
Hedlund says Salles made the set such a comfortable place that he quickly got over his nervousness about disrobing. But sitting next to his mom and sister while they watched the movie for the first time was a nerve-wracking experience.
ōThere were a lot of laughter,ö he reports. ōI donÆt know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I donÆt know if the laughs were out of nervousness or because the (movie) was really that humorous.ö
In the end, his mom approved of his performance Ś nude scenes and all. ōMy mom said it was a lot harder to watch (me do) a dying scene (than a nude scene). IÆve died in three films, and so now my mom begs me, ōJust tell me you donÆt die at the end.ö

Tiger Woods, whose ball-drops, from Abu Dhabi to Ponte Vedra Beach, have come under intense scrutiny several times this season, could benefit from a quick brush-up on golf's golden rules, says Dottie Pepper.
"I think I'd go to rules school or pay somebody to come in," Pepper, a 17-time winner on the LPGA Tour and former NBC/Golf Channel analyst, told SBNation on Thursday, more than a month after Woods hit that flagstick in the second round at Augusta, took an illegal drop, and incurred a two-stroke penalty but no disqualification for signing an incorrect scorecard. "You don't have to be an expert in the rules, but you need to know what mistakes not to make."
In Pepper's opinion, the world No. 1 just took his eye off the ball.
Woods got parts of Rule 26-1 "completely turned inside out," Pepper said about either playing a ball as close as possible to the spot of the original shot or dropping it as far back from the hazard while keeping the point at which the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard directly between the hole and the drop spot.
"I think he knows the rules well enough," said Pepper, a regulations buff with two stints at rules academy. "I think he got completely flustered at the Masters and then it was one mistake compounded after another."
The ball-drop brouhaha during the final round of The Players Championship was another story, and one that Woods executed to the letter of the law, according to Pepper, who will return to broadcasting with ESPN next month.
Had Pepper, an eight-year broadcast veteran before stepping away at the end of 2012, been in the booth during Sunday's finale at TPC Sawgrass, she might have handled the situation differently from her former NBC colleague, Johnny Miller.
"That Tiger drop was really, really borderline," Miller said after Woods hit his shot off the 14th tee into the water left of the fairway and took a drop, after conferring with playing partner Casey Wittenberg. "I can't live with myself without saying that."
Pepper viewed the situation from the perspective of an on-site reporter.
"I think it's very difficult to question a drop from the 18th tower," she said. "That's when you really have to lean on people that are on the ground and every camera angle that you possibly have.
"Ultimately," Pepper said, "it came down to Casey Wittenberg and that was how it was determined and that's the way the rule is written and that's the way they executed it."
Pepper took the headset off to spend more time at home and focus on her work as a board member of the PGA of America. She will return to the course with ESPN at the U.S. Open.
"It was the perfect fit of the events and when they do them," said Pepper, whose two-year contract will obligate her to cover the U.S. Open, the U.S. Women's Open, and the U.S. Senior Open. She'll also be on-course for the British Open, Senior British Open, Women's British Open, next year's Masters, and the network's Friday telecast of the Ryder Cup.
"Oh my gosh, if you could draw up a dream schedule, that's what it would be," said Pepper, who never herself used the word, "retirement," when she stepped away from her NBC gig. "I'm a really lucky girl."

Mitchell approves money for Communication Center upgrade
Mitchell is the latest community to provide financial support to help the county pay for $350,000 budgeted this year for the communication center upgrade. The Mitchell council approved $8,000 for the project Tuesday evening. Mayor Brian Taylor told KNEB News the council felt it was something they needed to do even if residents pay for the system through their county taxes.
The $8,000 is half of what the county requested, but Taylor says the fact the county's letter arrived in August when budget discussions were basically finished made it difficult to find available money. Taylor says Mitchell will likely contribute more when it considers the 2013-2014 budget.
Scottsbluff with $70,000 and Gering with $40,000 also contributed half of what was requested for the same reason as Mitchell. Henry approved $510 and Morrill provided $8,270 based on the county's population formula. Banner County sent a check for $1,200 and Lyman and Minatare are expected to also provide help.

City establishes Neighborhood Graffiti Abatement Program
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Gateway Crimes Task Force announced today during a press conference the creation of the Neighborhood Graffiti Abatement Program. This program will provide neighborhoods with free graffiti abatement resources, equipment and strategies to help reduce the incidence of graffiti.
"Neighborhoods that ignore graffiti send a message of intimidation. We want to help reverse this and provide neighborhoods with the tools and equipment needed to remove graffiti, along with skills to discourage future graffiti," said First District at Large Councilman Scott Wagner, who chairs the Gateway Crimes Task Force. "We hope to help empower neighborhoods to take a collective stand against graffiti in their community."
The Neighborhood Graffiti Abatement Program announced free resources and equipment neighborhoods may use to remove graffiti in their community. These include:
• The City's Swap Shop provides free paint to residents and five gallon buckets of paint in white, brown and grey to neighborhood associations with a letter from the neighborhood president. The Swap Shop is located at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility, 4707 Deramus Ave., and is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Other graffiti removal equipment and chemicals are available to recognized neighborhood groups through the City's Public Works Department by calling 816-513-9841.
• The City's Police and Public Works departments are coordinating training opportunities on removing graffiti for neighborhoods and residents. Information and a schedule of these training opportunities will be available at www.kcmo.org/CKCMO/Depts/PublicWorks/StreetandTrafficDivision.
• Informational brochures on graffiti are available through the Neighborhoods and Housing Services Department. More information on graffiti is accessible online at www.kcmo.org/gateway.
• The City's Neighborhoods and Housing Services Department is contracting with a number of organizations to facilitate graffiti removal in various public and private situations. As contracts are put in place, a list of organizations will be online at www.kcmo.org/gateway.
• The City's Municipal Art Commission is developing a mural-based program to offer constructive engagement with graffiti artists, allowing them to channel creative energy toward community betterment.
The City's Gateway Crimes Task Force aims to stabilize and improve Kansas City's neighborhoods by addressing activities that are considered gateways to greater criminal involvement, such as graffiti. The Task Force comprises representatives from law enforcement agencies, the court system, school districts, neighborhood leaders, social service agencies, City Council members and City staff.
Media inquiries and other requests for more information about the Gateway Crimes Task Force or the Neighborhood Graffiti Abatement Program should be directed to Councilman Scott Wagner at 816-513-6503.

No. 9 Ohio State Slips by FGCU
Columbus, Ohio - The FGCU men's soccer team opened up the 2008 campaign by dropping a heart-breaking 2-1 decision to No. 9 Ohio State Satuday afternoon.
"We moved the ball well, created some great chances and outplayed them for most of the game," said head coach Bob Butehorn. "Our inexperience cost us a couple of goals, and we couldn't find a way to tie it, but we showed very clearly today that this team has the character and talent to achieve our goals. While I'm unhappy with the result, I'm very proud of how we competed."
The Buckeyes (1-0-0) got on the board first in the fifth minute of the game when Tim Gabel scored a goal off a corner kick. FGCU (0-1-0) would answer OSU's goal less than 13 minutes later and tie the score at 1-1, when Francesco DiStefano (Kissimmee, Fla.) scored on a 17 yard strike from the top of the box off a pass from Scott Harrison (Cocoa, Fla.).
In the 27th minute, Ohio State's Danny Irizarryy would give the Buckeyes their second lead of the game by scoring on a penalty kick. The first period ended with Ohio State taking a 2-1 lead going into halftime. FGCU was outshot 10-7 and lost the corner kick battle 3-1 in the first period.
The second period was played a lot tighter as neither team was able to score and combined for only five shots. FGCU has three shots on goal in the period in an attempt to tie the match, but Drew Czekanski stopped them all.
FGCU goalkeeper Adam Glick (Leola, Pa.) and OSU goalkeeper Drew Czekanski tallied six saves apiece. Josey Portillo led the Eagles with three shots.
The Eagles will be back in action Sunday, Aug. 31 when they face Penn State in their second game in the Bert and Iris Wolstein Classic at Jesse Owens Stadium in Columbus. The game is slated to begin at 12 p.m.

Some things we just take for granted: clean water, supermarkets that never run out of food, and mail delivery. However, in the midst of a population boom, the reality can fall short of our expectations. While getting your mail on time doesn't seem like the biggest issue in North Dakota, those in the western half of the state say the reliability of the postal service is a major concern."If you listen to the stories, you realize that the one thing that has always been stable in rural America, we've always been proud of the rural delivery," says Senator Heidi Heitkamp. "We're losing that, and it's not just in the oil patch, it's all across rural America."Senator Heitkamp visited with community leaders, postal workers and customers in Dickinson Friday to talk about some of the issues with the postal service. Some brought up the fact that when a postal worker has the day off, there's no one to take his or her place. Thus, residents just don't get their mail."It is a critical part of our infrastructure, and these are things that I need to know in order to best represent North Dakota on postal issues," Heitkamp explains.Postal workers talked about the problem of retaining employees because of long hours, pay cuts, and no benefits. The regional manager was on hand, however, to hear those concerns and try to make some changes. "I'm glad that we are in a forum where people who are in a position to fix those problems are listening," Heitkamp says.Heitkamp now has a new website where North Dakotans can share their experiences with the post office. She says she will bring those concerns to the US Postal Service and the Government Accountability Office to compare with their information.To share your story with Senator Heitkamp, visit www.heitkamp.senate.gov.
