CATEGORIES MoviesAnd you thought you were busy! In addition to directing "The Hobbit" films, and apparently preparing another "Tintin" adventure, Jackson has a new documentary set to debut at Sundance on the now-freed West Memphis Three.
Fittingly titled "West of Memphis," Jackson co-produced the doc with partner Fran Walsh; it will debut on Jan. 20 at Sundance. Amy Berg ("Deliver Us From Evil") directed the film, which follows the three teens whose conviction for a brutal triple child murder in 1993 became a cause celebre among those who felt the teens had been railroaded. In the trailer, celebrity supporters Henry Rollins and Eddie Vedder, as well as some provocative statements from those involved in the case.
Damien Echols, the best-known of the West Memphis Three, also co-produced the film, which goes to Sundance with hopes of acquiring a theatrical distributor.
This is the second West Memphis Three film to unspool this year; Thursday night on HBO, "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory" premiered to rave reviews. Head over to Huffington Post TV to read more about that film and the case from West Memphis Three member Jason Baldwin.

What The Cluck?
Something happened at the local bazaar the other day. While doing my daily produce shopping I found myself in perhaps the most helpless and intriguing situation I've been in thus far here in Ukraine. It began with a bump and ended with a thud. Someone had elbowed me in my backside. A mistake, more than likely. People squeeze into the narrow paths of the markets on their way to and from the many kiosks like wriggly little fish would if you were to put them all in the same bowl.
The jab to my spine didn't hurt, but it startled me enough to take a look. I turned. No one was there. Well, no one in particular. I would have stayed facing that way, possibly moving on across the way to another kiosk had it not been for my wrist being grabbed.
"Help, please," a man said to me. Before I could respond he'd pulled me over to a table a few feet away. With his other hand he handed me a chicken and instructed me what to do with it. "Hold it like this," he said, placing my hands around its upper abdominal area and around the wings.
Thoughts of what would happen next were zipping through my mind, little fleeting notions about my role in this mysterious favor. When I looked up the man turned back around, facing me, with a cleaver in his hand. Before I could utter even a word he brought the clever down on the neck of the chicken. I didn't make a sound, but stood there holding the body until it stopped moving.

CATEGORIES Paramount, Universal, Home Entertainment, Remakes and Sequels, Features, CinematicalNow that Paramount has hired Louis Feola to head its direct-to-video (DTV) division, the studio is hoping for a lucrative business of cheap sequels. Paramount made a small attempt last year with Save the Last Dance 2, but it wasn't nearly as successful as the small-screen hits that Universal has been dumping out. Feola used to work for Universal Home Entertainment, where he oversaw DTV sequels to American Pie, Darkman and Tremors.
According to Variety, Feola will be mining through Paramount's back catalog, including the films of Paramount Classics, Paramount Vantage, MTV and Nickelodeon, to produce 4-6 sequels, each budgeted at less than $10 million. The first, which has yet to be determined, will be released in late 2008. Variety mentions sequels to Airplane! and The Naked Gun, but the trade is probably just speculating with these titles.
Although I hate the idea of DTV sequels, I have some ideas of Paramount films that could be exploited without upsetting too many fans. The following could be easily and cheaply made and could also provide guilty pleasures to the same kind of people who enjoy the American Pie spinoffs: Teen Wolf, Hiding Out, Summer School and Ladybugs -- of course, each of these would have to be made more R-rated than the originals. Maybe they can even restart the Meatballs franchise?

Back to Document
Your Achilles tendon is a fibrous band of tissue that links the muscles in your calf to your heel. Its strength and flexibility are important for jumping, running, and walking. Your Achilles tendon withstands a lot of stress and pressure during everyday activities, as well as during athletic and recreational play.
Occasionally, your health care provider will misdiagnose your tendon injury as a sprained ankle. It is important to get the right diagnosis so you can get the right treatment. Several common injuries can make your Achilles tendon painful or prevent it from working well.
Your Achilles tendon can become inflamed — swollen and irritated. This may happen because of overuse or damage to the area. Tendinitis can cause pain down the back of your leg and around your heel. You might notice that parts of your tendon are getting thicker, and hardening, because of tendinitis. This is a degenerative condition, which means it will get worse if you don't treat it.
Noninsertional Achilles tendinitis. Small tears in the middle fibers of your tendon start to break it down. This causes pain and swelling. This type of tendinitis usually affects active, younger adults
Insertional Achilles tendinitis. This occurs in the spot where your tendon meets your heel bone, if the fibers in your tendon tear. Bone spurs also can grow out of the heel bone tissue, causing pain
It is possible for the tears in your tendon fibers to break your tendon completely or partially. You might hear a "pop" that seems to come from the back of your heel or calf. A rupture needs immediate medical attention.
Symptoms of tendon injuries include:
Thickening of your tendon
Pain down the back of your leg or near your heel
Pain that gets worse when you're active
A stiff, sore Achilles tendon when you first get up
Pain in the tendon the day after a workout
Swelling with pain that gets worse as you're active during the day
Bone spurs on the heel bone
Difficulty flexing the affected foot
A "pop" sound accompanied by sudden sharp pain, which suggests a ruptured tendon
Anyone can develop tendinitis. The most common risk factors are:
Increased activity or a new sport
Tight calves, which can place more stress on your tendon
Bone spurs on your heel, which can aggravate your tendon
The wrong shoes or on uneven surface when you exercise
Treatment with fluoroquinolone, an antibiotic medication
To diagnose your condition, your physician will consider:
Your overall health and medical history
A description of your symptoms
A physical examination of your Achilles tendon. This checks for bone spurs, pain, and swelling
A test of your ankle's range of motion
Imaging tests, such as X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Your doctor will use MRI most often to determine the extent of your tendon damage.
Treatment depends on how badly injured your tendon is. It may include:
Low-impact exercise alternatives, such as swimming
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief
Specific exercises to strengthen your calf muscles
Physical therapy
Eccentric strength training. This is a system of exercises that help strengthen your calf muscles to take pressure off your tendon
Cortisone injections
Heel lifts in shoes
A walking boot
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy. This is a controversial treatment your doctor may recommend to see whether you can improve without surgery
Surgery to lengthen your calf muscles
Debridement surgery to remove damaged tendon tissue or bone spurs
Surgery to remove your damaged tendon tissue. The type of surgery depends on the amount of damage to your tissue and other factors, such as the severity of the tendinitis.
Complications of an Achilles tendon injury may include:
Pain, which can be severe
Difficulty walking or being active
Deformation of your tendon area or heel bone
Need for surgery
Tendon rupture from the injury. Occasionally, cortisone injections also can cause your tendon to tear.
You can prevent injury to your Achilles tendon by:
Increasing activity gradually, rather than all at once
Wearing the correct shoes for your activities
Not exercising on uneven surfaces
Being aware of the risks of fluoroquinolone and exercising with caution if you're taking this drug
Call your doctor immediately if you experience a "pop" sound and acute pain from the back of your leg or heel. Otherwise, schedule an appointment if pain or difficulty moving interferes with your regular daily activities.
Follow your doctor's recommendations to get rest and manage pain and swelling. Choose alternative ways to be active. Try low-impact activities that do not place a lot of stress on your tendon, such as swimming or bicycling, rather than a high-impact exercise like running. Always let your doctor know if these strategies don't help reduce pain, swelling, and loss of function.

Hi all - I am in desperate need of help and guidance for dealing with acne. I am 24 years old, 5'10" 135-140lb female. I have been paleo for nearly a year. 3 months ago I made the decision to go off of birth control (which i began at age 17) due to the irregularity that it was causing my cycle. Since then my acne has erupted, and is characterized by painful cystic acne on the chin and between the eyebrows. I also tend to have some acne on my cheeks, but not nearly as bad as I do in the other areas. I have tried the oil cleansing method (25% castor oil and 75% sunflower seed oil at night and only water in the morning) and stuck with it for nearly a month, though it has not made much of an improvement with my acne. I have also added an apple cider vinegar & water toner into my routine and moisturize with jojoba or coconut oil.
I take fermented Cod liver/butter oil blend and vitamin D as supplements daily and am considering adding magnesium citrate. It is also important to know that prior to paleo I had IBS and autoimmune issues. I am happy to report that those issues have been resolved with paleo, and my digestion is back on track. I have been eating really clean (I generally always do) as of late, avoiding dairy (except ghee), nuts&seeds, nightshades, and eggs. I also avoid coffee and drink bone broth.

I have a very similar story. After months of researching potential causes and solutions, and many scars later, I finally concluded that my outbreaks were reactions to food allergies. I have leaky gut syndrome and developed allergies to many foods I used to eat before going Paleo, and then some even after. Foods like citrus, squash, black pepper, garlic, etc. Even though your digestion is good now, you may have a compromised intestinal mucosal lining from when you were battling IBS. It takes a looong time to heal. Some of my worst reactions have been when exposed to yeast. I would try cutting out the brewers yeast first and see what happens. If you have or had issues with Candida prior to changing your diet then you may have developed an allergy to yeast. Also read this article on the connection between acne and the gut.
You will want to make sure you are getting plent of probiotics. I see you eat kraut, but you might want to consider supplementing with more. My doctor put me on this probiotic:
it's for people with Chron's or IBS, but you can buy it over the counter at some pharmacies.
You need to figure out what is causing the internal inflammation. Food allergy testing is helpful, as are elimination diets.
Topically you can use 35,000 IU Vitamin E oil to help with scarring (I buy Jason's)
Also tea tree oil in a jojoba oil carrier is a good cleanser.
Nutrient-dense foods are not always good foods. That being said, you're overlooking 2 big factors in acne : PUFA and amino acid balance. Your muscle meat intake is high. You could win money and get better skin at the same time by making bone broth daily and drinking it. If you don't always have bones, buy some gelatin online (it's not expensive). The most important supplements are fat-soluble vitamins (including k2) and magnesium, though calcium is extremely important too. You can get calcium from bone broths and egg shells.
Eating chicken etc. is nice, but it's not the best choice when you have bad skin. It'd be better to substitute it for bone broth (it can be chicken broth for example).
Hopefully this helps a bit. Don't supplement immediately, just eat root veggies, liver and bone broth most of the time and you should already see improvement.
I know this question is older, but I see that there's still time (since you posted this 3 months ago and said you're getting married in 5 months). I hope you've had success with the suggestions... but just in case:
You say you take cod liver oil and butter oil, and I've noticed that consuming any more than small amounts of fish oil (anything more than 2 grams every few days, or a serving of fish every other day) absolutely breaks me out (I've read posts all over the internet about people who have the same problem, especially going primal/paleo who start taking fish oil supplements), and I have strong suspicious that (like literally thousands of other people online) I react to dairy also, though I know this should be a smaller issue with butter oil, which is pretty refined and supposedly free of lactose and casein - the usual suspects.
So my suggestions:
--Cut the butter oil just to see
--Cut all dairy - even 'safer' things like butter, ghee, butter oil
--Cut fish oil and just eat salmon twice a week or so (at least temporarily)
--Get a chocolate bar that does not have lactose in it. Lindt's dark bars are the only widely available ones I know of that don't have milk fat, butter fat, and/or lactose in them. I see you eat lots of it so this could be an issue.
--Take zinc daily (try to find just the 25 mg dose to take with meals, 50 causes nausea and risks copper deficiency). For the longest time I took it and didn't realize it was helping a little and causing things to heal faster and pores to look smaller. And it's one of the most tried and true supplements, has been shown in a study to be as effective as antibiotics in treating acne, and is often prescribed in France for just that purpose. It gets great reviews online and few people actually break out on it in the beginning like b5, fish oil, etc.
Sorry for any typos or confusing sentences since I'm in a hurry... but I reeeally hope things get better for you!!
I've had fairly good success using two things: zinc gluconate (50mg/day) and glycolic acid toner on my face (go for at least 10%). Make sure you take your zinc with food.
I hate to give you a succinct answer after such a detailed post, but the same thing happened to me years ago when I went off BC, and I was on a 100% SAD diet (if that makes any sense), and my acne eventually went away with no changes to my diet. It did take a lot of time, though, so if altering your diet hasn't helped, it might just be one of those sucky things you need to wait out :(
I had terrible acne growing up. Went on Accutane twice and my acne returned both times.
Here's my quick suggestion: try taking activated charcoal for a few days and see if your acne improves. If it does, you may have some gut issues to resolve. I'll explain below:
My acne improved slightly when I decided to go off medicated washes and creams (too difficult to obtain in Japan) and then again slightly when I stopped washing with anything other than water and occasionally baking soda.
However, the biggest thing that improved my acne was dietary. I found that if I avoid fruits, nuts, and cocoa not only does my skin not break out, it's also much, much less oily. All those years I spent washing with expensive washes to get oil out of pours, and it seems my diet was just causing me to pump that oil right back into them.
Now, I don't intend to stay off fruits, nuts, and cocoa indefinitely!
Paul Jaminet suggested that I try taking activated charcoal and seeing if it alleviated my symptoms, which it did. This suggested that the charcoal was absorbing something that was not supposed to be passing through my gut barrier, which suggested a leaky gut and dysbiosis. I'm currently in the process of trying to resolve the dysbiosis with a combination of interfase, GSE, and charcoal taken at intervals on an empty stomach. I just asked a question about it actually if you want more details.
However, all of this said, I'm a guy, so the acne cause might be entirely different...
I too tried the cod liver/butter oil and oil cleansing method with minimal results. You need some medication to get the situation under control, as it sounds hormonal in nature. Go the the dermatologist. Get an oral antibiotic & a topical antibiotic as well as a differin/retin-a type cream. I went through the same thing as you, and this is what worked for me. Once your skin calms down, you can ease off of the medications and just continue to eat well. I didn't believe it would work, but I saw a noticeable difference after only a few weeks.
A few things:
1) The only 'product' that worked for me (and it worked very well) was Chandrika Ayurvedic Soap. You want the square bar in the old-fashioned looking packaging. It will seem harsh the first few times but your skin will adjust. It also has a very strong 'hippie'/masculine smell that you may or may not like - I tend to like it.
2) If you find that your skin is reacting to this soap by increasing its oil production, then you should definitely cut all dairy and oil supplements from your diet and see what happens. Don't stop the soap.
3) I have used this soap before and after going paleo; since i'm on paleo now, my skin seems to tolerate this soap really well and doesn't respond w/excess oil production. My skin is much more dry in general after going strict paleo (no dairy, and I stopped fish oil supplements).
Do you think you could have some food intolerences, sensitivities or true allergies? Those may be causing the break outs....if you can, have an IgG ELISA blood test done. I found out that I'm allergic to cauliflower, pork, cranberry, yeast along with gluten and dairy as well as a few more items. It's only been a week for me that I've been avoiding, except for gluten and dairy, so we will see what happens.....good luck! I have acne rosacea and I was diagnosed a year before my wedding. I understand the annoyance of having something so visible and trying everything under the sun. Eventually, I had to resort to getting laser treatments done. I still flushed at the wedding, but at least I could use makeup to tone down the redness. Before the laser, I couldn't put anything on my skin. It was far too sensitive!
Hi Hannah, unfortunately I don't have any advice for you...your diet looks awesome. I'm just here to commiserate as I am dealing with acne as well. My heart totally goes out to you and I know how frustrating it is. Stay strong! <3 I have been on strict paleo for about 3 weeks I think and while my forehead is almost completely clear I continue to breakout on the lower part of my face. My last resort is a naturopath if I can't get this cleared up by myself!
Im in the same boat as you. The advice given i've tried, including probiotics, which give me a terrible reaction and cannot stomach food for a week after consuming even a small capsule.
I've tried vegan, fruititarian, strict paleo, low-carb, and ray peat style....
What I am going to try now is an ancestral diet. My heritage is Anglo-Saxon, and foods that would not have been available to Anglo-Saxons, such as tropical fruits have been included in all my previous failed diets, except for low-carb. And if you go back to the time when my ancestors were eating bananas and tropical fruits, it would have been so long ago that we'd be talking about a vastly different fruit.
Going back to the low-carb diet, I do not remember if it helped my acne because I started to develop severe cardiovascular symptoms and ceased. So the one diet that would have fallen within the guidelines of my ancestral diet, I had to abandon early.
Just food for thought. I don't know your ethnicity, maybe you originated near the equator then you could snack on bananas, and unlimited fruit which would be nice =]

FAQ - How to give
After a disaster, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance receives numerous calls from congregations and individuals expressing concern and a desire to help. Following are some of the most frequently asked questions. The responses are general in nature, but are applicable for most disaster situations. Please give us a call or e-mail us to obtain answers to specific questions.
- How do I make a donation?
- What is the administrative cost of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance?
- Can I make a gift in honor of someone?
- Will I get a receipt for tax purposes?
- I am often overwhelmed by the number of disasters. How can I choose wisely which one to respond to?
- How does PDA decide which disasters and emergencies they will respond to?
- My company does match grant for gifts. Is PDA tax exempt so my gift will qualify for this program?
How do I make a donation?
Individuals may place your tax-deductible gifts in the offering plate of your local congregation or for immediate processing of funds, your check can be sent directly to the PC(USA) bank lockbox. Should you choose the latter, your check should be payable to Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and mailed to:
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
P.O. Box 643700
Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700
The designated giving account should also be included on your check. This will help to ensure the funds are applied and sent to help in the disaster you have specified.
Congregations should send gifts through your usual receiving site, usually your presbytery or synod.
Gifts by Visa or Mastercard can be made calling PresbyTel at (800) 872-3283 or can be made online.
What is the administrative cost of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance?
The total for salaries, benefits, administration, information and interpretation represents approximately 6% of the PDA budget.
Can I make a gift in honor of someone?
Yes, we have special cards that can be sent indicating a gift has been given in someone's honor. Email PDA to make this connection.
Will I get a receipt for tax purposes?
Yes, a letter of thanks with an official record of your gift will be mailed to you. Any questions you may have about the processing of your donation should be directed to Theresa Goodlin, (800) 728-7228 x5181.
I am often overwhelmed by the number of disasters. How can I choose wisely which one to respond to?
If you do not have a strong interest in the situation of a particular country the best way to direct your gift is to DR000148. These designated funds for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance supplement the core administrative support for the work of PDA, and will allow the use of your gift where it is most needed, either in a national or international response.
How does PDA decide which disasters and emergencies they will respond to?
The critical element in decision making is the basic definition of an emergency as "an extraordinary event that causes destruction to people, property and structures to such an extent as to exceed the capacity of the affected community to cope with the situation relying solely on its own resources". In the United States for national response we follow the lead and ministry of our presbyteries. Internationally, we have a general decision tree which is not a hard fast formula but forms the basis for decision making. These decisions are made in consultation with the area offices of the World Mission program area. We look at seven variables and rank them low, medium, or high.
The seven variables include:
- Relational Value defined as the number of Presbyterian mission workers serving in the affected country, the extent of presbytery partnerships, and our history relative to the country in question.
- News Value looks at how much news coverage both print and broadcast is focused on the crisis thus raising awareness and interest in response.
- The level of Human Suffering.
- The Viability of a Response is defined as whether we have organized a broad ecumenical response that will get support from many churches and/or previous disaster experience in the area.
- Partner Response Capacity is always considered.
- Availability of Funds in the One Great Hour of Sharing, the Rapid Response account and designated giving.
- Impact of Funds. We seek to give where the amount we have available makes a significant difference.
My company does match grant for gifts. Is PDA tax exempt so my gift will qualify for this program?
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is not a separate 501(c)(3) organization recognized by the internal Revenue Code, but falls under the umbrella of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), A Corporation, which is a federally recognized, tax exempt organization pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its tax ID number is 13-3462549. Receipts will be issued for charitable contributions made to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), A Corporation, for disaster-related or other mission work.

4.43/5 rDev -0.9%
Prefacing this with the fact that I had Stickee Monkee just six days ago. Opened the bottle last night and full notes taken at the time.
A- Split several ways for a tasting and pours with a dark brown body. The head forms to about two fingers with a very light tan hue. Head retention is pretty good as it falls to a foamy ring. Just a few spots of lacing.
S- The Stickee Monkey portion comes out huge with deep brown sugar and some Quad sweetness. Mellowed oak Bourbon barrels come in fairly big as well. Belgian yeast spice, caramel, slight roast, red fruits and vanilla.
T- Complexity is big as it has been with almost all of the FW Anni. brews I had (XIV had a TON of Parabola). Brown sugar, vanilla oak sweetness, bourbon, Belgian yeast spice, spiced raisin red fruits and a slight hop feel. Hints of roast, toasted nuts, figs, slight alcohol and peppery whiskey.
MF- Thick but not RIS thick body with a moderately high carbonation. Pretty much feels like the other Anni. brews completely. Texture is creamy and frothy with a heavy alcohol warming in the end.
Feels like a Quad mixed with a great Brown ale with a decent dose of Bourbon and vanilla oak. The complexity of these brews are astounding. I could probably list a ton more flavors but those are the main ones.

1774th Review on BA
Bottle to Firestone Walker Snifter
App- When out of the bottle, this had all the indicators that it was a stout. Color was missing and it was a dark brown, black mix of color. A little red sprinkled in for good measure as well. The light tan foam cap was only about 1/2" and faded quickly. A nice bit of stick to it.
Smell- You can always tell a FW BA beer IMO. The character of all the beers comes wafting up at you and you get hit in the nose and you tend to stick around a bit and try to decipher all the aromas coming up. This had hints of oak, bourbon, vanilla, spice and a booze. A bit stringy vs smooth for me.
Taste- I had heard the rumblings that this wasnt as good as the other vintages because of the new blends and the direction FW took this one. I say pish posh. This was a tasty beer. Sadly I wish that price point was a bit lower to get a few more. The opening was a bit more brown ale than I was expecting even after reading the blend list. It was smooth and flavorful. Melded well with all the ingredients.
Mouth- A solid medium body BA ale that even for me bordered on being a stout. A big feel behind it with a solid carbonation level. Smooth and velvety. The residual flavors were a blend of the beer and left you wanting another sip.
Drink- I will say that it was good. It was a solid beer and that FW always does a good job. It wasnt the best of the Anny series I have had, but thats only because I like stouts better than strong ale blends. Wonder how this one will age.

Nose: delicious. Not your typical bourbon barrel aged stout, it has enough different notes to stand out. Marzipan, currants, and vanilla
Taste and mouthfeel: enough carbo to feel like a beer and not a sipping whiskey. Just the right amount of booziness. Coats the mouth, has long delicious finish.
Overall: worth seeking out. Coming from a hophead, this is a great beer

Pours into an oversized wine glass a deep chesnut brown with a thinner lighter beige head atop.Aromas are on the lighter side wich was surprise but still pleasant,cocoa and some "meatiness" along with some alcohol sweetness,and dark fruit.Wow the complexity on the palate is just awesome,cocoa powder and buttery rum make for a rich taste and the feel goes hand in hand,it's sticky in a very good way,there is a noticable toasted pecan-like flavor as it warms as well.I admit at first I was dissapointed but once the first sip hit me I was hooked,just a great beer.

Served in a tulip glass from a 22oz bottle.
A - Pour a dark brown with little to no head. Not much lacing on the glass.
S - The smell is amazing. It hits you before you get near the glass, lots of vanilla and whiskey. I get whiffs of the alcohol also.
T - The aromas are backed up by the taste, oak and vanilla, reminds me of a great bourbon.
M - A light bodied beer, maybe a bit too thinner than I thought it would be.
A really well balanced blend of flavors. I love the influence the whiskey barrels have on this beer.

I was walking into the house and I felt something sudden and wet on my foot. I looked down in time to see a moth of some sort flying away from the scene of the crime.
The "substance" was kind of wet yellow-ish. Could this be moth poop? I asked google, and apparently this guy got pooped on by a moth, and it looks suspiciously similar.
I guess if something goes in, it must come out …somewhere. Foot wash – check.

Hansen to Join FGCU Women's Basketball Program
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Sarah Hansen, a 5'9 wing from General McLane High School in Edinboro, Pa., has signed on as the newest member of the FGCU women's basketball program, head coach Karl Smesko announced.
"Sarah Hansen is a kid who got overlooked and really fits in well with what we do," said Smesko. "She has versatility, she has perimeter skills, she has toughness and strength and can play inside a little bit. She's a good rebounder; she makes a lot of plays. She has a good assist-turnover ratio, gets a lot of steals and played on a good team. She can drive and shoot and can guard two positions."
A three-year varsity starter, Hansen finished her high school career with 1,299 points and a school record 984 career rebounds. She also broke General McLane's single season rebounding record by grabbing 307 rebounds during her senior year.
The Erie, Pa. native was a Times-News All-District 10 team selection, an All-Region first team selection, and a second-team All-State selection as a senior. She averaged 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.5 steals while shooting 42 percent from the field for the General McLane Lancers, who went 26-2 and won their second straight district title last season.
Hansen joins Chrissy Rivette, who signed in the fall, as newcomers. Rivette, of Benton, Mich., made over 200 3-pointers while shooting 47 percent behind the arc. She averaged 19 points and nine rebounds last season. Smesko said both are expected to play big roles next season.
Smesko and the Eagles had great success this season with an A-Sun Regular Season Championship and a 26-5 record. FGCU advanced to the second round of the WNIT for the second consecutive year before losing in overtime to eventual champion USF.

Zhena's Gypsy Tea Presents Biodynamic Beyond Organic Green Tea. Biodynamic Green Tea is made with the finest quality green tea leaves and other great tasting flavors.
Regarded by some as the first modern ecological farming and gardening system, biodynamic agriculture is modern science integrated with ancient wisdom that preserves the land by upgrading and nourishing soil and plant life through special processes and emphasis that exclude the use of chemicals in the soil. Biodynamic is the oldest non-chemical agricultural movement in the West, predating the organic farming movement by 20 years.

With his mildly psychedelic, eccentric pop music, R. Stevie Moore could have been part of the same royal line as Van Dyke Parks, Frank Zappa and Kevin Ayers.
Instead he has chosen to record his more than 400 highly varied releases at home and earned a minor (read: way too small) name as the spiritual ancestor of modern DIY artists such as Guided By Voices and Ariel Pink.
Having spent a lifetime as the secret idol of various alternative rock bands, this silver-grey underground legend is finally ready for some spotlight.
R. Stevie Moore is "the godfather of home recording" – an independent, overlooked original whom the zeitgeist is slowly catching up on.

About the AuthorSilvaCinema
silvacinema Davis, CA
When approaching a special occasion, we have two major goals. Our personal challenges are, first, to capture the individual beauty of the people & to show the subjects in the manner in which they see themselves. This requires sensitivity to the subjects' desires, and the ability to impart permanence to a moment in time, a subtlety that will speak to those who view the photographs long after the wedding day has passed. Our second challenge is to put on paper the composition of matter and light that we envision. The final photographs are the embodied balance of these two goals.

- Does NOT live up to the hypeUSAgymnastDined on 8/16/2014Reservation for 8pm for 3. We arrived at 7:55 but not seated until 8:15. Our waiter took our drink & appetizers order fairly quickly. But did not return for our main order for far longer than he should have. Our apps arrived from a diff server & were fine. Bread also arrived at this time, which was far too late. Bread should have arrived before our apps. Finally, our waiter took our main course order. Food was great. Service was not. We noticed other tables being cleaned while ours was not. We did not see our waiter again, not even for the bill. We had to ask another waiter to bring our bill. When asked for coffee/dessert, our experience was so bad, that we did not want anything further from this restaurant. We will NOT be returning!

- A bit below par30somethingDined on 6/14/2014Capital Grille is consistantly excellent, which is why we keep returning. Unfortunately, Saturday night was not up to that standard. The food was just "good," though the atmosphere was wonderful as always. However, we were shocked that the service was so lacking. It was our anniversary dinner and we were so grateful that they made it special with flowers and a great dessert... But we almost felt ignored by how long time lapsed between our waitress making appearances. When she did come by, it felt very rushed. This is not like them so I am sure they must have been short staffed or the like.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The wine list is broad but I started with an $82 bottle that was recommended up to a $99 bottle and waiter came back saying manager suggested the $115 bottle.... It was yummy but.... All evening suggestions were made for additions. Not that most restaurants don't do this just this one seemed extensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Capital Grille Palm Beach GardensDrJackDined on 5/17/2014Good food, excellent service, acknowledged a special occasion. However steak was not cooked to order and had to be sent back.

- Real NoisyLuvCharlestonDined on 5/10/2014Where we were sitting it was very noisy. At times I couldn't hear people on the other side of the table. I have near perfect hearing, by the way. I was also surprised that the Capital Grille did nothing to celebrate Mothers Day. When I booked the reservation through Open Table, I noted that we were celebrating Mothers Day and there were to be two mothers at the table that night. Nothing was done. Sad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- dissapointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/3/2014first time going to capital Grille for my wife and I. My wife's chicken was very dry and my steak was just ok. I expected more from the food. When we arrived at the restaurant, they said our table was ready, but twice we were told we would have to wait, it wasn't quite ready. Don't think we will be back. Our waitress was good.

- Our first time therenewbiesDined on 4/29/2014We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the staff made this occasion so special. Our waitress Michelle couldn't have been better! The wine list is about the longest I've ever seen. The steak ordered was grilled to perfection and the Bass dinner was fantastic. The cheesecake dessert topped with what seemed to be creme brulee was to die for. Atmosphere was great because we went for early dinner and almost had the place to ourselves. Yes, we do plan on returning!Special Features:

Witnesses testified on the effects of the "fiscal cliff" on the U.S. economy and the middle class, with a focus on sustaining long-term economic growth, reducing U.S. debt, and protecting the middle class. They agreed that the issue need to be resolved immediately to avoid another recession, but disagreed on how to raise revenue to achieve fiscal sustainability.
"Fiscal cliff" referred to the impending tax increases and sequestration budget cuts at the end of 2012 if Congress failed to reach a new budget agreement. "Sequestration," a legal procedure in which automatic budget cuts are triggered, was agreed to in the Budget Control Act of 2011. close

The Brazilian real is now considered by some to be the world's most overvalued currency, meaning that daily life in the country has become incredibly expensive, according to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal.
Price tags on everything from cans of Coca Cola to apartments are suddenly higher in Brazil than they are in New York.
This is a major problem for Brazilian manufacturers, who fear the skyrocketing costs will prevent them from doing business with other countries.
It's also a problem for citizens who have seen prices increase even as their paychecks have remained stagnant.
We've rounded up some of the most outrageous living costs that are now commonplace in Brazil.

USDA June 2010 Planting Report
6/30/10 Area planted to sunflower in 2010 totals 2.09 million acres, up 3 percent from 2009. Harvested area is expected to increase 57,800 acres from last year to 2.01 million acres. Planted area of oil type varieties, at 1.65 million acres, is down 3 percent from 2009; however the non-oil varieties, estimated at 441,000 acres, are up 33 percent from last year. Acreage decreases in Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas were more than offset by increases in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Compared with last year, growers in South Dakota increased planted area by 60,000 acres and growers in Colorado increased planted area by 24,000 acres.

Editor's notebook: Changing our world
From the desk of the Review's editor . . .
One of the things I enjoy most about my work as editor of the Alumni Review is the endless parade of fascinating people I encounter or hear about each and every day.
Queen's truly is a remarkable university. It's home to some of Canada's brightest and most innovative teachers, and among the students these men and women educate are many young people who, when they graduate, go on to change the world. Some do so in small, incremental ways, flying below the radar. Others are game changers who dream big, soar high, and make headlines. I'm reminded of that whenever we begin choosing stories to feature in the Review – and believe me, there's never a shortage of good ones. The magazine you hold in your hands is yet another example of that.
Our cover stories this issue ("Young Entrepreneurs: Getting down to business", pp. 22-24) report on how a growing number of enterprising students and young grads personify the "spirit of initiative" by creating their own career opportunities.
Elsewhere on this homepage you'll find profiles of two alumni who are among the "game changers" I alluded to above: Kathleen Wynne, Artsci'77, a former star sprinter on the varsity track team, the new Premier of Ontario, and Political Studies grad Luke Skipper, Artsci'04, a key organizer and strategist for the Scottish National Party in its campaign for a "Yes" vote in next year's historic referendum on Scottish independence.
These grads aren't the only ones flying high of late. In the days just before this issue of the Review went to press, several other members of the Queen's family made headlines for various reasons, all of them good. That being so, we congratulate:
The members of the Tragically Hip – Gord Downie, Arts'87; Gord Sinclair, Arts'86; Rob Baker, BFA'86; and their bandmates Paul Langlois and Johnny Fay. One of the best reasons to go to Alfie's pub on a Saturday night back in the mid-1980s, was the chance to hear and see "The Hip" perform. They were campus favourites. Almost 30 years later, the band is still going strong, with more than a dozen albums, 14 Junos, and numerous other accolades to their credit. In July, Canada Post will further immortalize The Hip by issuing a stamp that's part of a special issue of stamps saluting Canadian musicians. Now how cool is that?
Jeffrey Simpson, Arts'71, LLD'05, whose book Chronic Condition: Why Canada's Health Care System Needs to be Dragged into the 21st Century, has won the 2012-13 Donner Prize. The honour, which includes a cheque for $50,000, is given annually to the "best public policy book" written by a Canadian author. As you may recall, Jeff's longtime Globe and Mail colleague Hugh Winsor, Arts'61, interviewed Jeff about his book in Issue #3-2012 of the Review;
CONGRATULATIONS are also in order for the Review's sister publication, The Queen's Quarterly, which this year is celebrating its 120th anniversary. Always a delight to read and beautiful to look at, under the guiding hand of inspired editor Dr. Boris Castel, The Queen's Quarterly has won numerous National Magazine Awards and has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of North America's foremost learned journals, all the while serving as a welcome reminder that reports of the death of print are not only, they're downright wrong.
GET WELL SOON. Longtime Queen's Archives staffer George Henderson, Arts'59, MA'64, now retired, has been having a rough go of it lately. After a couple of bad falls, George is recuperating in the Helen Henderson Care Centre, 343 Amherst Drive, Amherstview, ON, K7N 1X3. George says he'd love to hear from classmates and other friends. While he doesn't have email yet, he can be reached by snail mail or telephone at 613-384-1246. – K.C.
