Events Overview
AFT plans its semiannual conferences according to a time-proven formula for success.
The conferences are held in the Spring and Fall, almost exactly six months apart, in order to keep members informed of the very latest technology trends and techniques, key regulatory issues and other time sensitive topics.
The meetings are two days in duration, again following a proven pattern, which allows attendees to arrive on Sunday evening and depart on Tuesday afternoon/evening or Wednesday morning.Our meetings are cost-effective and packed with information, interaction and networking.
The programs are a blend of industry experts addressing topics of vital current interest, lively interactive sessions in which participants set the agenda, panel discussions featuring bankers, regulators and consultants, tracks focusing on sales/marketing, operations/customer service and human resources topics. Frequently, members present some of our best sessions.
We plan a just-right social agenda including receptions and a popular, special evening event taking advantage of area attractions and providing the perfect setting for more networking opportunities. We also offer a special Spouse/Guest Program that is popular with many members.
Finally, we meet in a variety of nice destinations throughout the USA and occasionally in Canada, which adds to the attraction of the meeting and affords opportunities for recreation and local sightseeing before and after the conferences.
Why Two Meetings Annually?
AFT leadership realized early on that meeting once a year was not frequent enough to keep members abreast of rapidly evolving technology and ever-changing regulatory requirements. Their bank, thrift and credit union customers demand the latest and best products to stay ahead of the competition and they need to comply with state and Federal regulations in the process. It is up to our member companies and their vendor partners to satisfy these needs.
AFT meets in March and September, to present programs of vital, current interest to its members. Both meetings are 2 days in duration, and are rotated throughout the country with an occasional conference in Canada.
The Spring Conference features general sessions as well as concurrent tracks designed specifically for sales/marketing, operations/customer service and human resources managers.The Fall Conference held in the September, consists primarily of top financial industry speakers addressing the latest trends and techniques. This conference also serves as the organization's annual business meeting and election. Many member company CEO's choose to attend this meeting and participate in a unique CEO Forum.
Both conferences include lively interactive sessions where the topics are selected by the attendees and discussed in depth. Most conference attendees rate these sessions as the most valuable and productive of the entire conference, and consider the information exchanged as worth many times the cost of attending. It is also these sessions that spawned the AFT-coined word "coop-etition" combining cooperation and competition.
Both conferences include receptions, luncheons, special evening events and spouse/guest programs, which take advantage of area attractions.

The Celtics have had well-documented success since the season-ending injury to Rajon Rondo, with the C's going on an 8-1 run into the All-Star break. The Celtics were seemingly under-performing up until Rondo's injury, and despite their recent surge, they aren't out of the woods by any means. First and foremost, they will have to continue to readjust to life without their 10 assists per game (apg) point guard, especially since they just lost another point guard to injury in Leonardo Barbosa.
The phenomenon of the team stepping up has been a treat to watch. It has been duly noted that the ball has been moving better without Rondo, and that has been showing up in the team assists. The team has actually increased the number of assists without Rondo's with an increase from 21.5 to 23.4 per game (48 min basis). The ball distribution load has mainly been taken up by Paul Pierce who has had two triple-doubles (he's been rebounding too) during Rondo's absence. However, the chart below indicates how uniform the uptick in everyone's assist totals have been in the 9 games before and after the Jan 25th Atlanta game when Rondo's knee put him on the sidelines.
Pierce's 7.2 apg makes him a point forward on the level with LeBron. But the fact the other seven players in the rotation uniformly increased their assists by 1 to 2 per game is special. It also points to how potentially damaging the loss of Barbosa may be to the second unit. Barbosa was chipping in 2.8 apg in only 20 minutes per game (mpg) and had solidified a late game role within the Celtics rotation.
Unfortunately, Avery Bradley and Courtney Lee haven't shown the propensity for dishing the ball, and that's why rumors abound regarding the potential for the Celtics to pick up old friend Delonte West has recently been discussed. But the fact that he shunned the NBDL, hasn't played competitive ball since Heck was a pup and fell out of favor with a Mavs roster that could have used him, does not bode well for Redz. There's talk of potential trades for folks like Luke Ridnour in the PG factory known as the T-Wolves. Will Bynum in Detroit, who is now 3rd on the depth chart with the arrival of Jose Calderon, could probably be had. Then there are some interesting options in the NBDL (see Jessica Camerato's tweet on Shelvin Mack of the Maine Red Claws), but would a non-veteran really be able to get the job done on this Celtics team?
Shelvin Mack ready if the #Celtics call bit.ly/YbxcSc— Jessica Camerato (@JCameratoNBA) February 13, 2013
Anyway, it doesn't look like the PJ Brown version of a PG is going to be walking through the proverbial door.
Rondo's Ball Domination
As everyone loves what Rondo "the Houdini" can and does with the ball, the fact that the ball has been moving better without Rondo on the floor is a bit of a head scratcher. It is worth repeating the quote Ian Thomsen of SI.com obtained from an "unnamed scout" on why things are at least temporarily better without Rondo:
"When Rondo had a chance to make the first pass to help get the ball to the other side of the court, he was not going to make that pass because he wanted to get the assist. Rondo would pound the ball until he could get a guy open for the shot so that he could get the assist. That's why the ball wasn't moving as much when they had Rondo, and it's why the ball is moving so much better now that he's out. The reason they're running more is because he didn't kick the ball ahead. He wanted to hold on to it. "
The enigma of a pass-first point guard literally holding on to the ball, to pad his assist totals no less, just doesn't seem to hold water. It is true that Rondo's record of 37 consecutive games with 10+ assists appeared to take a life of its own at times . . . fortunately that ended in November. Character issues about Rondo have certainly been raised in the past - look no further than some of Ray Allen's comments about being a bit annoyed by Rondo's dominance of the ball. In the end, it is more likely that Rondo's team mates simply became too reliant on Rondo, as was suggested by Danny Ainge (see Mark Murphy's article in the Herald).
Certainly, the court savvy Rondo has observed what has made this team click in the short time he has been absent, and is making notes with regard to how he can make the team better by becoming even more selfless and perhaps humble. The great ones always seem to step back and take measures that put the team in the best position to succeed.
Alternatively, he may see this team resort to the same funk it was in while he was routinely triple-doubling. It would be as simple as elder statesmen Garnett, Pierce and Terry simply showing their age.
Note: For more on Rondo, there's a nice introduction to Bill Simmon's treatment of Rondo's absence, his so-called Ewing Theory, within a Fan Post by stephenmarshall.

Dread Central's Best & Worst of 2009
Let's face it – 2009 was a tough year to be a horror fan. Personally speaking, it was a colossal disappointment to see two of the greatest slasher icons resurrected with less than stellar results. Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers have been down rocky roads before, but their most recent misdeeds are among the worst in either canon. Pot farms and underground tunnels are hardly synonymous with the name Friday the 13th, and you should never, ever think white horses and hobos when talking about Halloween. When Tom Petty sang the good old days might not return, he must've been looking at 2009.
But it wasn't all bad. Sam Raimi made his long-awaited return to the horror genre though, for some reason, horror fans by and large decided to pass on the affair due to its PG-13 rating. The result was a surprisingly low box office take for such an anticipated event. Weak box office also affected Lionsgate and its sixth Saw movie – a shame since it was actually the best in the series since James Wan's original.
And we can't mention 2009 without discussing the real snake in the grass - Paranormal Activity. Love it or hate it, the runaway success reminded everyone the world over that horror is far from dead. Maybe we'll even get a few more scary haunted house flicks before Hollywood can finish milking the soon-to-be trend of ghost/demon flicks. I know a lot of people have been baffled by PA's success, but I've been afraid of my creaky, noisy house ever since watching. Mission accomplished from where I stand, Oren.
And there were other gems, too – most of which will be included in my list of five favorite genre-related films. Before launching into the list, however, I'd like to take this opportunity to make some honorable mentions of films I feel deserve a little pat on the back – even if they don't quite make the list:
Nah, it's not amazing, but as a huge fan of George Milhaka's 1981 slasher, I had a good time with the updated version. Todd Farmer's script takes the same premise and turns it on its ear, offering plenty of surprises for audiences both familiar and unfamiliar with the original story. Director Patrick Lussier keeps things light and fun – channeling the spirit of the 1980s in several moments. He's also not afraid to give his characters a few sequences to develop outside of the 3D splatter – a welcome decision. Jaime King proves to be a very good final girl, and Kerr Smith is by turn smarmy and sympathetic as the modern day Axel Palmer. Only Jensen Ackles falls flat as the tormented Tom Hanniger.
As an added bonus, MBV 3D gave horror fans a chance to see Tom "The Man" Atkins back on the big screen once again. Not perfect, but a great example of how to respect the source material while doing your own thing. I still prefer the town of Valentine Bluffs as the location of Hanniger Mines, but Harmony is a fun place to visit, too. Just not as often.
The Last House on the Left
Was there any reason to remake Wes Craven's Last House? Absolutely not. The 1972 classic is an angry product of its time, an example of the disillusionment growing here during the last years of the Vietnam War. Is it a coincidence then that Craven returned to his most controversial film during another needless and unpopular war? The new version, directed by Dennis Iliadis, doesn't obliterate the peace and love generation the way in which the original did – which robs this remake of much subtext and purpose. However, it strengthens the narrative in lots of ways, producing stronger central characters and (wisely) jettisoning the lame comic relief that throws the original off-kilter.
The biggest problem here, though, lies in the villains. They never reach the uncomfortable depths so effortlessly obtained by David Hess and Fred Lincoln in the original. They're totally serviceable, but forgettable. This is balanced out by significantly better roles and performances from the parents – played here by Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter. Their decision to take bloody vengeance upon their daughter's attackers unfolds more believably and the actors convey great discomfort with their actions – grounding the film is uncomfortable reality. It's a shame films of this ilk are always overlooked at awards time, as Tony Goldwyn's performance makes this well worth a look.
The Five Best Horror Films of 2009
5. Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!
It's true that this was made and released overseas in 2008, but we didn't have the chance to see it in theaters until Magnet released it this past July. As a documentary, it accomplishes its two most important goals: managing to be absolutely hilarious and entertaining while being informative.
Divided into three parts - sexploitation, horror, and action - this is a thorough examination of Australia's history in exploitation, complete with interviews with dozens upon dozens of filmmakers and actors (even the late, great Richard Franklin is on hand), making this the perfect place to start if you're unfamiliar with the subgenre. For those already well versed in Ozploitation, you can never, ever know too much about it.
Clips are well-utilized, and the participants are almost always entertainingly honest about the films in question. The section on horror is certainly the most interesting of the segments, but the whole thing is a delight: You'll see George Lazenby burned in a stunt gone wrong, some of the most batshit insane stuntwork ever performed, and of course, some love for Howling III: The Marsupials, which makes it a winner in my book.
Horror fans have been begging Sam Raimi to return to the horror genre for years, and for a while it didn't look like it was going to happen. It did, however, and while nobody would disagree that May was a bad time to release this one, its disappointing box office take left me absolutely baffled.
If the horror community isn't going to turn out in droves for the triumphant return of Raimi, what will put them in theaters? Sure this is PG-13, but it doesn't feel like it. It's one of the greatest funhouse rides ever committed to film, and while watching Drag Me to Hell, you can only wonder where in the hell the film is going to go next. Cats are sacrificed, eyeballs protrude from dessert cakes, and goats have never been more sinister.
This is the Sam Raimi well all know and love. Drag Me to Hell is probably his most entertaining work since Evil Dead II and the kind of kinetic horror film we never thought we'd see again. Least of all from the director of Spider-Man. Thanks for proving us wrong, Sam.
3. The House of the Devil
This is a brilliant artistic achievement for writer/director Ti West for two reasons: First, he's delivered a legitimately creepy Satanic horror film – the kind which hasn't been glimpsed for a very long time. Second, and more impressive, is that he accomplished what so many directors have tried (and failed) to do when using the word "throwback" to describe their films.
This is a bona fide relic from the 70s/early 80s. From the clothing styles, the settings (where did they find that pizza parlor?), and the meticulous art direction in every frame – it's an authentically bygone horror film. It takes its cues from a dozen different films from that era without using any of them as a template. And that's what really impressed me. The House of the Devil succeeds because West understands what makes older films work.
There's the possibility that this would've been even higher on my list had I been able to see it more than once. It's not going to be for everyone, but what film is? This fucker nails everything it sets out to do, and even now I look at it with total admiration.
2. Orphan
A great film from Dark Castle? Who would've thought it possible? In some ways Orphan is a bit of a throwback film itself. Invoking the style and spirit of so many slow-burn 70s films, it spends a great deal of time establishing itself before the bad shit starts happening to people we care about.
Vera Farmiga (in her second evil kid movie) is fantastic here, as is Aryana Engineer as her hearing-impaired daughter, Max. The fact that the film devotes some genuinely sweet moments to these two is a credit to director Jaume Collet-Serra, who understands that it takes good characters to lay the foundation for any great film.
Of course, the real star here is Isabelle Fuhrman. Esther is a twisted, evil little bitch, and Fuhrman captures every nuance of the character brilliantly. The film's twist ending, which could've easily been a huge mistake, gives the film another disturbing dimension – thanks in large part to Fuhrman's acting talent. If you haven't seen this yet, rectify that soon. Orphan is just awesome.
1. Trick 'r Treat
This is more or less a tie with Orphan for my favorite horror film of the year.
I've written so much about T'rT over the past few months that I can hardly find another word. I'll just reiterate what I wrote in my Blu-ray review a few months back: "Somehow, Trick 'r Treat manages to live up to the staggering hype surrounding its release – which gets my peers off the hook (they'll be so relieved). It's as fun and enjoyable as you might've heard, and now that I've seen it, I'm plenty pissed at Warner Brothers for deciding that the best place to experience it is in the confines of our own home. Not only does it restore my wavering faith in a genre that's become too "dark and gritty" for its own good (thanks, Rob Zombie), but it's also a reminder that you don't have to reinvent the wheel to make a great film."
And now, THE WORST
Dishonorable Mention: Friday the 13th
Goddammit, Platinum Dunes, how did you fuck this one up? Unlike Ti West, you clearly don't understand what makes older films work – despite your claims.
F13 isn't awful but it's bad. The filmmakers subscribed to the idea that you're supposed to root for the bad guy, which doesn't exactly make him scary. Characters are unlikable, annoying, and dumber than they ever were during the Paramount era. Beyond that, the decision to shoot the film in Texas robs it of the simple ambiance of the earlier Fridays. Instead of making a bona fide Jason movie, they tried to replicate the success of their earlier Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake by utilizing the same director and DP, which revealed a disappointing lack of vision from the creative team.
Derek Mears gives his all as a ferocious Jason, but I'd like to see a little less of John Rambo Jason next time around. Seeing him operate floodlights was a bit of a bummer, and don't even get me started on those fucking caves. At least they got the New Jersey license plates right. Oh, and Julianna Guill does indeed have perfect nipple placement. That's the best I can say for this mess.
This sequel deserves credit for taking everything that worked so well about the first film and throwing it out the window. Suspense? Nope. Sympathetic characters? Hell no. This one can't even be bothered to keep its characters in one location – having them trot off to any number of nearby locations as they try to elude the fledgling snuff filmmakers. It's also boring and directed without a trace of the flair that made the first movie so good. I know that nobody was expecting anything from this needless prequel, but did it have to be this stupid?
4. Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead
I'm going to spend as much time commenting on this as Fox put into producing it. An idiotic script, awful make-up effects, and an endless stream of (bad) CGI kills sink this disaster and kill the franchise right where it stands. Refusing to bring Joe Lynch back for another go 'round was a big mistake, but if Fox couldn't be bothered to make a good Wrong Turn 3, it probably wasn't going to make a difference.
3. Children of the Corn
This is every bit as bad as you've been led to believe – and then some. It should've been relatively easy to improve upon Fritz Kiersch's 1984 adaptation of the Stephen King short, but these guys blew it. Big time. Let's start with a protagonist whom the viewer doesn't want to spend two seconds with, let alone an entire film. Then there's the amazing Vietnam flashbacks brought on by shuffling through corn rows – at least these bits provoke unintentional laughter. There's nothing else to hold your interest, let alone warrant a viewing. Until someone gets King's story right, stick with the original film. It's not perfect, but it's a masterpiece when compared to this.
2. The Box
Richard Kelly continues his steady descent into cinematic banality with this pathetic and cynical attempt to recapture Donnie Darko's lightening in a bottle. Blowing up Richard Matheson's short story Button, Button into a 90-minute feature was never a good idea, but that didn't stop Kelly from trying. To expand on the ideas set forth by Matheson, Kelly takes us to outer space, citing aliens as the culprits behind the mysterious box.
And this script is just one of the problems. It's incompetently directed and features two of the most uncharismatic leads (James Marsden and Cameron Diaz) in recent memory.
1. Halloween II
Once again: I'm a fan of Rob Zombie's music and his 'original' films. But I just can't find a goddamn thing to like about either Halloween movie. This sequel is perhaps a smidge better than the first one, but it's such an ugly, repugnant, and boring disaster that I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
While there are some very good actors on display here (Brad Dourif and Danielle Harris, especially), the abysmal script fails them on every occasion. Ditto the premise of the film: Traumatized survivors of a maniac's killing spree trying to move on with their lives is a good idea. Maybe Zombie could've made it work had he allowed someone else to write it. Here, Michael Myers is a gritty serial killer that somehow survived a gunshot to the head. He spends half the movie suffering from white horse hallucinations while trekking through fields en route back to Haddonfield, murdering any degenerate that gets in his way. It's very boring stuff with the character being robbed of any mystique he might have once had.
Zombie tried, but he also failed. Miserably.

Stunning house, Beautiful location!
We loved this house! We have rented homes in Mal Pais for 3 yrs in a row and absolutely love it. We have always rented from Jeremy and have never been disappointed...in fact we are always blown away and this house was no exception! Close enough to town to be convenient but away enough to be extremely private and absolutely beautiful. Tucked in the hills with floor to ceiling glass and a view of the ocean and jungle is quite a way to wake up every day! This would be a great house to entertain in (we loved the open 3rd floor with the pool table, bar, and soaking tub). We highly recommend the house and Jeremy!
What a beautiful place!!!
We really enjoyed this home and the country of Costa Rica. We did not even leave the house for 2 days after arriving. We were able to totally relax and enjoy the home and it's wonderful pool. Lucia the homes caretaker took care of our every need. From scheduling mesages on the deck of the pool to setting a zip line tour through the jungle. She was great. The house was beautiful and the view was unbelievable. We got up early to watch the howler monkeys play in the trees close to the house. We will be back. Thank you for sharing your home and your country with us.

The publicity train for all sides of the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax is making a stop with Dr. Phil this week, with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo revealing more details to host Dr. Phil McGraw.
"Here we have a young man that fell deeply, romantically in love," McGraw told NBC's Mike Taibbi. "I asked him straight up, 'Was this a romantic relationship with you?' And he says yes. I said, 'Are you then therefore gay?' And he said, 'When you put it that way, yes.' And then he caught himself and said, 'I am confused.'"
The two-part interview will air Thursday and Friday on McGraw's nationally syndicated show, Dr. Phil. NBC reports that in the interview, Tuiasosopo claims that Te'o was the innocent victim of his elaborate hoax, as the mastermind used the relationship to satisfy his own emotional needs. Tuiasosopo specifically said the Notre Dame linebacker was "absolutely, unequivocally" not involved in the execution of the hoax in any way.
"I wanted to end it because, after everything I had gone through, I finally realized that I just had to move on with my life," Tuiasosopo told McGraw. "I had to start just living and let this go. There were many times where Manti and Lennay had broken up, but something would bring them back together whether it was something going on in his life or in Lennay's life, or in this case, my life."
Te'o told Katie Couric that he was told about the hoax on Dec. 6 but chose to wait to discuss it until after the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7 out of embarrassment. The Heisman Trophy runner-up finally addressed the hoax after Deadspin reported the story on Jan. 16.

Fall in love with this simple tunic dress from Urban Outfitters. Rock it with tights and sneakers for a trendy look this fall.
I previewed one of the most exquisite Chanel collections I have ever laid eyes on at the Fall 09 trunk show yesterday. It was an elaborate celebration of culture, art and fashion-- one that only the Kaiser (and the Mademoiselle herself) could have executed so perfectly. The Paris-Moscow collection is a collector's dream-- many pieces are by custom order only (three month delivery) which make them even more collectable. Glittering jewels, exaggerated pearl/beaded belts, embellished leather motorcycle jackets, embroidered cashmere coats, ornate dresses, handpainted and laser cut leather bags, matryoshka doll minaudieres-- everything was fit for a Tsarina! The Paris-Moscow collection will be one remembered as the moment Chanel brought luxury back!

The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled Friday, that despite an appeal from the state, same sex marriages can be performed starting Monday.
A local gay couple says they have waited years for this moment, and are preparing to exchange marriage vows at their home Monday afternoon.
David Calvert said, "I'm just happy I can be married to the person I love, regardless of our gender."
David Calvert and David Collins have known each other for 22 long years, and by 6 o'clock on Monday evening, the two men will officially be recognized as a married couple in the state of New Jersey.
Collins told NBC40, "It is going to be a historical day in the state of New Jersey. I'm sure there are going to be a lot more couples tying the knot tomorrow."
On Friday, New Jersey's Supreme Court unanimously ruled that same sex marriages may commence on Monday.
New Jersey thus becomes the first state to usher in gay marriage since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, which banned federal recognition of state sanctioned marriages. Calvert said, "With the overturning of DOMA and everything, the dominoes have fallen into place very quickly."
Back on July 19th, the two men were married in Provincetown Massachusetts because they said they couldn't wait any longer for New Jersey. Both men say they doubted whether or not they would ever be allowed to marry in their home state.
Calvert told NBC40, "I never thought it would happen anywhere, quite frankly."
And because most of their friends and family were not able to be at their first wedding in Massachusetts, the two men say their second opportunity to tie the knot will be extra special because they will be able to share the moment with their closest friends and family.
Calvert said, "Being married around home, around family and friend is what is meaningful to me." Collins explained, "Marriage is marriage. It doesn't matter who it is between. Like I said before, you can't help who you fall in love with."
Because the two men are getting re-married, they will not have a 72-hour waiting period like other gay couples applying for a marriage license.
David and David say around 3 o'clock on Monday they will head to the Lower Township Municipal Hall to buy their marriage license before their ceremony.
The state had appealed the lower court ruling allowing for same sex marriages.
The New Jersey Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in the case in January, but decided that in the meantime the marriages must be recognized.
Governor Chris Christie's administration says that although the governor disagrees with the ruling, he is instructing municipalities to comply with the court's decision.

The Cowboys have undergone some significant player personnel changes since Garrett took over as head coach. The question is, when will it pay off?
Looks like Matt Pettinger is the newest doghouse victim. He was on the ice for both Kings PP goals against, and was benched after Modin scored the 2nd Kings PP goal. Michael Grabner was practicing on a line with Rypien and Bernier today, so it looks like he will draw in for game 2. Despite all the backlash against Andrew Alberts over taking the 2 penalties last night, both costing the Canucks goals, consider this: -He was the only Canucks player to give LA PP opportunities last night. Where's the PK? The Canucks will take more penalties than that in the coming games. -Alain Vigneault said this about Alberts: "Alberts has done exactly what we expected when we got him. He's a depth defenceman who is physical and can move the puck." There you have it. AA has AV's vote. I didn't think Alberts was all that bad last night. I think he continually improves in a Canucks sweater. More on Alberts and a possible Aaron Rome return here.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State men's basketball team's first-half lead was cut to 28-26 when Potsdam scored six points in a row.
But when Mike Mitchell nailed a 3-pointer and Jordan Moody followed with a thunderous dunk along the baseline, the Cardinals were on their way to a 92-69 victory in SUNY Athletic Conference play at Memorial Hall Tuesday night.
With the win, Plattsburgh (16-7, 12-4) moved closer to clinching the second seed in the conference tournament, with conference-leading Cortland and Oswego coming to town this weekend to close out the regular season.
The victory, however, may have been costly for Plattsburgh. John Perez, who scored 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field in the first half, left early on in the second half with an injury and was taken to the hospital.
The Cardinals hit 35-of-68 shots from the field, good for 51.5 percent, and were 14-of-17 from the foul line.
"We played well tonight — and shot the ball well," Plattsburgh coach Tom Curle said.
Perez and Shamoy McIntosh led the Cardinals with 14 points each, while Moody finished with 13, and both Chris Manning and Shavar Fields 10 apiece.
Reggie Williams added nine points, a team-high 12 rebounds and three blocked shots, and Manning, who leads all of Division III in steals, ended up with seven steals and seven assists.
"Reggie Williams continues to play good basketball for us, especially on the boards," Curle said.
Mark Lake Jr. paced the Bears (9-14, 5-11) with 14 points, while Curtis Pierce and former Peru Central standout Rob Duquette chipped in with 12 apiece. Duquette also had four rebounds.
The Cardinals, however, limited Pierce, who came in averaging 18 points a game, to only 3-of-11 from the field.
It was an emotional game between the two North Country rivals.
"It was emotional from start to finish," Curle said. "We were able to increase our intensity and focus, except for two or three times when we lost our composure — myself included.

|Megan Swaine
I love this idea!
One question though: why the term "incubator"? I was really confused when I read the headline. I think the basic term "workshop" is clear enough.
|Cody Scott
why not just open it up to anybody interested in game development instead of singling people out....that would have been a good idea.
|Rebecca Phoa
I personally attended the information session for the Difference Engine Initiative. While people might think the idea would 'single out' people; if you were a man, you were still encouraged to attend to learn more about about the initiative in general and see if you could help out.
There were about 6 men in room along with the 12 or so women who attended the session. I would not say the initiative was meant to scare men off. Plus, not all the women there were 'gamers,' they were just interested in what was being offered.
And what is wrong about being more welcoming to others? Think of the game industry like any other possible work environment. I think we should be more grateful that people are taking games seriously.
|Mare Sheppard
This initiative is not going to be the perfect solution to the issue of gender disparity in the game development world, but fortunately we haven't set out under that impression. Basically, if we sit around thinking and talking all our lives, waiting for that perfect moment where the ideal conditions exist to magically get more diversity in this industry (both in terms of input and output), then we're going to miss out on chances like this, where we can start making some positive changes and learn from what went right, or wrong, so we have a more robust idea of how to do it even better in the future. We're also hoping to generate some data regarding why there aren't more women making games, and to continue investigating what we can do to encourage underrepresented groups to get involved. Because everyone belongs here, and it would benefit all of us to see what games they come up with.
There are a ton of studies relating to how diversity helps organizations to be more successful. It's pretty hard to deny the insular and homogeneous nature of the current game development industry -- one has only to spend a few minutes at virtually any game-dev related gathering ever or even take a look at the many salary reports GDMag publish, to see the disparity along many measurable lines including gender. That's frustrating, especially since there's no biological basis for that disparity. It's all cultural. We know we won't be changing the entire fabric of society in one go, but Jim and I feel this is a great start, and getting people talking and thinking and acting is imperative to any change taking root.
We want to encourage women to make games because we know there are lots of people with vibrant, innovative ideas just waiting for the invitation to make their voices heard and see their ideas take shape. This is hopefully just one of many such opportunities, and perfect or not, it's an excellent jumping off point.
|Arinn Dembo
Been in this industry for a long time. I'm happy to help anyone make a game, male or female. I have no idea how six people putting in three hours a week for a mere six weeks are going to make anything but a mess in the break room, but good luck with that.
|ron carmel
i'm shocked at the small mindedness exhibited here. jeffrey, cody, arinn, if you want to do it differently, then please do, but sitting on sidelines and bitching about how someone else is doing wrong? i'm embarrassed for you.

355ml bottle. 100% malt, is all I get from the Spanish-only label. Sounds good to me.
This beer pours a clear, medium golden amber colour, with two fingers of frisky, foamy ecru head, which leaves a span of Tim Burton lace around the glass as it evenly settles.
It smells of lightly roasted caramel malt, some dark tangy fruit, and earthy, musty hops. The taste is tempered caramel malt, some bready toffee character pulling things away from any sugary sweetness overload, with some decent leafy, forest ester hops balancing things out for the most part.
The carbonation is a tad prickly at the outset, but swiftly delves into a steady, underlying soft hiss, the body somewhat short of medium weight, but not egregiously so, and makes up for that picky shortcoming with its straightforward smoothness. It finishes fairly off-dry, the bready malt still quite strong, the hops showing little staying power.
Well, Mexico is notable of late as a producer of this almost lost style, and this example doesn't disappoint, nor does it enthrall, but I don't think that's the point - simple drinking pleasures are the focus here, and for that, credit is due.

3.1/5 rDev -9.1%
A: Pours a nice amber color, a small head formed and lasted a few minutes. Some lacing down the side of the glass.
S: Some roasted malt, a little bit of hops, and some caramel.
T: The roasted malts come through on the taste, there is a slight hop presence, with a sweet finish.
M/D: Medium bodied. Not a bad offering from Minerva here. Not the best, but better than a lot of the beer from Mexico.

A: Amber red, small foamy head and disappears quickly;
S: Roasted malt;
T: Too syrupy, roasted malt and toffee;
M: Bitter sweet, light body, and sometimes has malt syrup consistency;
D: Another beer from Minerva that dont suit with me, too sweet, like a beer made from candy.

A beer that is like the XX amber, but with the advantge that is made from a microbrewery.
Good color, very german taste, round and little hoppy;
basic for the mexican cuisine, like cabrito or panzate.
Serve in a pilsner glass, and look its marvelous color and carbonation.
75% recommended.

Dark brown, chestnut, clear, with a tanned and bubbly head. Standard obscura appearance. Nose and flavor are slightly maltier, with a dark fruit note emerging that sets it apart from the rest. Body is full and less carbonated, with a strong note of peppery malt. Slightly herbal finish with a touch of carbonated metals. This is much better than your typical Mexican brown, with complexity and attenuation that show attention to detail without completely breaking the mold. Your abuelo would drink this without batting an eye, and I enjoyed it too.

341ml bottle poured into pint glass 4/5/12
A clear bronze whit lots of bubbles feeding a thumbs width of well retained off white foam that leaves a couple partial tings of lace
S some earthy hops and tea bag with a handful of pennies, there's some honey and some fruity notes
T the pennies are gone and more of a herbal aspect, decent beer but not mind blowing
M medium bodied with good carbonation faint aftertaste of earthy hops lingers faintly
O respectable stuff and probably the best beer I've had from Mexico
I could drink a few of these under a hot sun, nothing amazing but considering how bad all the Mexican beers are that I've had so far this is a nice change of pace

Minerva is one of the very few craft breweries I've found in Mexico and they deserve full accolades for going up against the omnipresent "big guys".
This "Viena" has a lot more flavour that its macro counterparts. It is exceptionally malty, with a nice dry finish. And stunningly, I can not taste corn : a non-adjunct Mexican lager!
Clear dark amber with an aesthetically pleasing off-white head. The aroma is much sweeter than the taste, which is bitterer than expected.
All in all, a delightful change from other lagers. Not at the same "level of excellence" as Minerva's stout, but still definitely worth trying!

A very nice Oktoberfest inspired beer.
It is a brown reddish beer with almost no head that vanishes quickly.
Smell is malty, and roasty.
It tastes good, with a nice touch of spices and bitterness.
A nice beer that reminds me from Victoria, only that this one is made from better malts.

It certainly was a pleasant surprise to find this one in a new super deli in town.
It's made from a micro in Guadalajara from which I had good references but not the chance to try it's brews.
Pours a dark reddish amber, with a small and short living white head. Some lacing.
Smell is of malts, picked a trace of hops, though.
Taste is refreshing, malty, some roasted too.
Mouthfeel has some bitterness and is light, as most Mexican beers since our weather isn't really suited for big thick --especially in our humid Summers.
Drinkability is high since this one can easily become a favorite of mine for any Sunday BBQ.

An arrest warrant has been issued for the former manager of Rattlesnake Ridge Water District.
A Carter County grand jury indicted Christopher Stamper, 40, of Grayson, on Sept. 27 on one count of theft by unlawful taking over $10,000, a Class C felony punishable by a prison term of 5-10 years.
He allegedly took 29 checks totaling $29,239.93 from the water district, according to the indictment.
The Journal-Times learned in August that Stamper had been fired from the water district in the wake of financial irregularities.
He had been with the utility for 18 years when he was "discharged" on June 14.
Bill Gilbert, chair of the district's Board of Directors, later said Stamper was terminated for "misappropriation of funds."
Board members gave assurances that the matter had caused no interruption of services.
Rattlesnake Ridge Water District is the largest drinking water provider in Carter County. It purifies water from Grayson Lake for nearly 4,100 customers in Carter, Elliott, Morgan and Lawrence counties.
The agency completed a $6 million expansion project earlier this year to raise its production capacity from 1.6 million gallons to 2.4 million gallons per day.
Organized in 1985, the water district has more than 700 miles of water lines, 10 pump stations and 11 storage tanks.

CATEGORIES Horror, Casting, Universal, Remakes and Sequels, CinematicalIt would be nice if Brad Dourif's legacy could be his Oscar-nominated performance as Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but it's far more likely that people will most remember him as the voice of Chucky, the killer doll from the Child's Play movies. So far, Dourif has lent his voice to the doll in five installments, and he's heading for a sixth. According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, who got it straight from the mouth of Child's Play creator Don Mancini, the remake/reboot of the 1988 original (which Scott first told us about a year ago) will feature a slightly redesigned Chucky, but the character will still have the voice of Dourif. The actor will also return in person to re-play serial killer Charles Lee Ray (aka "the Lake Shore Strangler"), who transfers his soul into the plastic body of a "Good Guys" doll.
Mancini also confessed again to Bloody-Disgusting that his reason to restart the franchise is to make Child's Play scary again; he claims the fans pretty much asked for this after seeing the series go too far in absurdly camp directions with the last installment, Seed of Chucky. Well, they didn't necessarily ask for a remake, but Mancini claims the only way to scare the fans again is to begin anew. Or, he could have asked us to forget the horror-comedy sequels and simply title it Child's Play 4. But anyway. The new film will be written and directed by Mancini, who singularly wrote all five of the previous Chucky movies and made his directorial debut with Seed.

More than dozen Douglas County High football players are back on the field after being diagnosed with a contagious skin infection earlier week.Principal Tim Scott credits the school's health teacher and an office secretary with discovering the outbreak among members of the football squad on Monday."We had a young man come to the office and he had a little spot," said Scott.After 22 players were to their physicians to be checked out, doctors diagnosed about a dozen with mild case of the bacterial infection impetigo. "It's a fungus. Anywhere there's heat and moisture it can be transmitted," Scott said.Doctors have cleared the players to return to school and the football field. Scott has reassured parents that school administrators have the situation under control."Our custodial staff, as well as our central office custodial staff, makes sure we have the hospital-grade disinfectants and fungicides to make sure we take care of the issue and we do a good job cleaning," Scott said. "We wanted to really make sure, so we contacted the health department and had them work with us and follow all the guidelines and they certainly agreed that we were doing exactly what we needed to do to take care of our young people."Scott stressed that this affected less than one percent of the student body and only impacted members of the football team.

Lyn Jones: Dragons must match Northampton's power
Updated 9:03am Saturday 25th January 2014 in Sport
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons boss Lyn Jones has called on his charges to stand firm in the face of Northampton's power game this afternoon, writes Chris Kirwan.
The Saints head to Rodney Parade with a second-string side in the LV= Cup (kick-off 2.30pm) but will use the same blueprint that has them eyeing the Aviva Premiership title.
It served them well in Newport last season when they turned a 10-6 half-time deficit into a 30-20 win by going back to basics with their strong set piece while they dismantled the Dragons' scrum in a crushing 28-3 triumph at Franklin's Gardens in 2010.
Northampton can secure a place in the semi-finals of the cross-border development tournament if they win and the Dragons know from experience that English sides boast formidable strength in depth.
Bath made 12 changes and rested the majority of their big guns when they headed over the Severn Bridge in the Amlin Challenge Cup earlier this month yet they still cruised to victory, notching a bonus point in just over half an hour.
Director of rugby Jones has demanded an improvement from his side in a clash that will be played out to a wider audience on Sky Sports.
"We were given a lesson by Bath in the Amlin," said Jones. "They played very well and showed that they are one of the top four power teams in the Aviva Premiership.
"This weekend we face a Northampton side who also belong in that bracket and we need to play at a higher intensity.
"It's going to be a big challenge but one we are looking forward to; Northampton spend a hell of a lot of money on wages for players and staff, so they need to have some silverware to show for that."
Jones makes 10 changes to the side that was made to work hard for a 24-12 European success in Mogliano last week. Like that Amlin Challenge Cup encounter, it's a chance to impress ahead of the RaboDirect Pro12 run-in.
"This month is trial time for players and I am trying to give everybody a run out to see who is who and what is what for February onwards," said Jones.
"Some people have already impressed and some others will be given an opportunity against Newcastle next week."

activities and attractions in Saugatuck Michigan
A number of scenic city parks - two of them adorned by Victorian style gazebos - dot the riverside. They are unhurried spots where you can spend the day picnicking, reading or watching the sailboats slip by.
An old-fashioned sternwheeler shuttles passengers on tours of the river and along the Lake Michigan shoreline. These water-bound excursions are punctuated by cottages, extravagant homes, forests, wetlands, a panorama of dunes and the Ghost Town of Singapore.
Visitors can enjoy an even more leisurely boat ride by hopping aboard North America's only hand-cranked chain ferry for a trip across the river or board a WWII "Duck" that provides ferry service between Saugatuck and Douglas. Strolling along a winding boardwalk offers another impression of the river - homeport to some 900 yachts and sailboats. Anglers can charter boats to go after salmon, trout, pike and perch. Those who want to make their own waves can rent boats, kayaks, jetskis, pontoons or charter sailboats or yachts.
Back on dry land, the adventuresome can climb 282 steps to the top of the Mt. Baldhead sand dune. For their heart-pounding effort climbers are rewarded with a stunning bird's-eye view of the harbor and lake below. Another aerial view is in store for visitors who take a freewheeling ride on a converted pick-up truck, known as a "dune schooner", across some of the towering sand hills. Back on level ground, the area has one private taxi service plus the Interurban bus. Both offer visitors hassle-free, door-to-door transportation. Golfers can hit the links at three 18-hole championship golf courses, one designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer.
For arts enthusiasts the area boasts more than 35 art galleries, a chamber music festival and is host to the Waterfront Film Festival each June - ranked 3rd after Sundance and Cannes by Screen Actors Guild Magazine. Mason Street Warehouse professional theatre company presents Broadway-quality "uptown theatre in downtown Saugatuck" at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts throughout the season. The SCA, itself, also sponsors year 'round professional productions, as well as The Children's Film Festival in November and a Farmers Market on Fridays. The Red Barn Playhouse highlights local talent, community theatre and a film study series. Both arts venues provide numerous opportunities for hands-on creativity, lectures, concerts and other artistic programs.

Silver Is Being Manipulated, Platinum Is Not
NEW YORK (Bullion Bulls Canada) -- Observant precious metals investors would have recently noticed a rare -- almost unheard of -- occurrence: A bullion market where prices actually respond to supply/demand fundamentals. No, obviously I'm not referring to either the gold or silver market, but rather the platinum market.
Analysis was provided by a mining Web site. Unlike the pseudo-analytic drivel spewed by the mainstream media concerning commodity markets, this featured long-term, hard data and cogent reasoning -- vs. the short-term trivia, empty rhetoric and fear-mongering we generally get from the corporate media.
Specifically, the article noted that recycling in the platinum market had quadrupled over the last decade. Compounding that bearish supply factor, industrial demand has softened considerably, and even jewelry demand has been shown to be more price-sensitive than previously thought.
The combination of these factors has meant that platinum inventories are abundant, and with weak supply/demand fundamentals and abundant inventories, prices have floundered. The price of platinum is now trading below the price of gold (a very unusual situation).With a concrete example illustrating both supply/demand fundamentals and how markets are supposed to respond to those fundamental, the extreme/serial manipulation of the silver market appears even more blatant in comparison. Now let's look at the "fundamentals" in the silver market. We can begin by looking at the absurdly low, current price of silver. This artificial/suppressed/manipulated price can be illustrated in several different ways. Relative to the price of gold, silver is priced at less than 1/3 of its historic average. During the nearly 5,000 years in which humanity has been mining/refining gold and silver, the gold/silver price ratio has averaged roughly 15:1. Yet currently (and through all the recent decades of silver manipulation) this ratio has been depressed to 50:1 (or lower). We know that this is a case of silver being underpriced rather than gold being overpriced, through simply examining the supply side of the gold and silver markets: The miners. Gold and silver miners are experiencing their second "depression" in five years, as the radical underpricing of silver and gold has made it difficult for established miners to raise capital, and nearly impossible for the junior exploration companies, who are the life-blood of the mining industry, to do so.
