Foundation Source / Get Started / Introduction
Some folks start a private foundation because they want to help out the people, institutions, and communities they care about. For others, the motivation may start with tax planning after a conversation with a trusted advisor. Whatever the impetus, new donors often are unaware of the full capabilities of this powerful and flexible philanthropic vehicle.
Private foundations differ significantly from giving as an individual. Here are a few of the unique benefits:
To get the details on these and other benefits of having a private foundation, download a free copy of 10 Advantages of Having a Private Foundation.
Public Charities normally receive at least a third of their annual support as donations from the general public. This means they rely on ongoing fundraising to support their exempt activities.
Private Foundations are typically funded by a single individual, family, or business. While private foundations are allowed to conduct very limited fundraising activities, most do not because it is difficult for foundations to raise money from anyone outside the immediate family or business.
So if you are providing the funding, consider a private foundation. We can help you with that. If a significant portion of the funding will be coming from fundraising activities, then consider a public charity. Foundation Source does not provide services for public charities.
We can create a new private foundation, ready for funding, in less than a week. We then provide a full range of services to keep the foundation running efficiently and compliantly.
Our services streamline foundation operations, improve collaboration among foundation members, and provide guidance at key transition points.
Foundation Source helps companies realize all the benefits of a corporate foundation without diverting resources from their for-profit business.
We help wealth advisors serve their philanthropic clients by providing a time-tested solution for setting up and running foundations. You manage the assets; we take care of the rest.
We work with attorneys across the county to provide a time-tested, third-party solution for setting up and managing private foundations on behalf of their clients.

When polled recently about , Patch readers had a lot of different opinions. Now, Severna Park parents can participate in a larger discussion about what kids eat at school.
Maryland PTA President-Elect Ray Leone will be one of several people attending a special event Thursday night with White House Chef Sam Kass to discuss the future of school lunches.
The special meeting Thursday night only has limited space, but Leone said parents can "virtually" attend the event with a special live stream broadcast.
Starting at 7 p.m. Thursday, parents and educators are encouraged to tune in live at pta.org/healthierschoolday and participate in the discussion. The online broadcast allows for an interactive question-and-answer format, where people can direct questions to speakers like Kass and other national school officials.
In short, the whole meeting will cater to parent opinions on how to improve school meals.
Over the past four years, Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) has revamped its school lunch menu to include special dishes such as teriyaki chicken and spiced apples. During the first week of school, many officials, including Superintendent Kevin Maxwell, ate school lunches nearly every day of the week, sampling many of the new dishes to hit school menus.
With an emphasis on getting students to eat more fruits and vegetables, AACPS lunch menus offer several new and unique items this year—such as baked pineapples, baked bananas, steamed Brussels sprouts and baked acorn squash.
Parents can submit a question for Thursday's event, or simply watch online at pta.org/healthierschoolday.

Now the problem starts.When i am trying to open the securechipconnection (to set the securechipconnection mode to internal)when the NFC contactlessconnection is already open ,the application is throwing an securechipevent whose status is 'Status_Not_connected'.
This implies that the phone does not support two open connections of 'securechipconnection' and 'contactlessconnection' simultaneously.But in the Nokia 3220 NFC phone specifiaction it is mentioned that this phone supports two connections of different classes namely 'securechipconnection' and 'contactlessconnection'.
Please anybody got any idea of where i am going wrong or any solution to this problem help me.

After allowing five base runners to the San Francisco Giants on Monday, the baseball world wondered if San Diego Padres' left-hander Clayton Richard was totally healthy. He was removed after five scoreless innings with shoulder discomfort, which was later diagnosed as a strain. From Tim Sullivan of the San Diego Union-Tribune:
Padres put Clayton Richard on disabled list with a strained left shoulder. Reliever Luke Gregerson returns to the active roster.
Richard was having a mediocre year, his 3.88 as much the product of his home ballpark as anything else. His strikeout rate had dropped precipitously this season, so a shoulder issue is less than surprising.
There's no word on whom the Padres will go with in the rotation during Richard's absence, though Wade LeBlanc is on the 40-man roster, made 25 starts for the Padres last year, and has been making starts for Tucson in Triple-A.
Gregerson has a 2.63 ERA for the Padres in 27-1/3 innings this year, which gives him the 12th-best ERA in the Padres' bullpen.

server displaying url cannot be resolved error
Hi frns
I need some very urgent help. Our client server is giving us a very peculiar error we have never got before. And my team is not able to identify if it is a server error or a coding error.
We are using redirection(not sure if that is the issue).
The message that it gives is: Error: Requested Content "http://www.example.com" (for eg.) cannot be resolved.
Please if anybody knows what is the issue or has faced it earlier, let me know.

- see if http://www.example.com resolves in a browser, if so.
- use your debugger and trace the events that lead up to the redirection and the redirection its' self.
- Or, if you don't have/don't know how to use a debugger then use echo, var_dump($variable_property_or_object) and find out if http error codes are being suppressed or written to a log instead of the screen. within the redirectorl. If this checksout then...
- Check you apache or IIS logs. Rather than do an exhaustive search of these, Run your application so to trigger an error and then check the logs close to the same time where this is done. You will see server errors their.

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
South Georgia law enforcement and emergency management officials today discussed their preparedness in case a bombing happened in our community.
They say since 911 some complacency may have crept back into America, and the deadly Boston event should remind everyone to be vigilant.
The big question on everyone's mind as representatives from 23 South Georgia counties Emergency Management met today, are we ready if it happens in our town?
Georgia Emergency Management Agency Area Two Field Coordinator Gary Rice said "I think we are as ready as we can be. You always prepare. We train, we exercise, we get together and share information."
At today's Stop the Violence meeting Albany and Dougherty County law enforcement heads say after learning about the Boston bombings, they had to think about what if it happened here?
Dougherty County Sheriff Kevin Sproul said "Are there any areas where we are weak at? Are we as fully prepared as a community? "
Albany Police Chief John Proctor said "It's an incident or an action that could happen anywhere."
Both law enforcement heads say some of the urgency after 9-11 has relaxed....but Chief Proctor says this deadly event shows some safeguards have to be strict.
Proctor said "We were accepting of more restrictions. Since we moved a little bit away from that, that has changed a bit. We have to be able to get back to give up a few restrictions so we can keep you safe."
All the public safety officials said the main thing was not to let fear end loved events in South Georgia.
Sproul said "As the Sheriff, I hope people don't let this fear overcome and win the battle, so to speak."
Rice said "Our message is, see something, say something. Remain vigilant and just not fearful. Be aware of your surroundings."
As we wait for more answers about what happened in Boston, law enforcement and emergency management officials prepare and stand guard in case something like this fatal incident happens here.
GEMA and South Georgia law enforcement say the best safeguard is people keeping watch in their community. They urge you to report it if you see something out of the ordinary. It's their job to check it out.
All 23 South Georgia counties work together under a Homeland Security agreement and share emergency equipment in case of any attack.

When the Mets dismissed Omar Minaya, their search for a new general manager led them to a lot of different people. Rick Hahn. Allard Baird. Josh Byrnes. Logan White. Dana Brown. However, from the beginning, Sandy Alderson was considered to be the odds-on favorite, and Tuesday night, via Jon Heyman, we learn that Alderson will indeed be the organization's selection.
#mets are hiring with alderson as gm, sources say.
Alderson and Byrnes were the two finalists, but Alderson seemingly always had the lead, and has now sealed the deal. There hasn't yet been any official announcement, but that will come shortly. Either after the World Series, or perhaps this Friday, a travel day during which the Rangers and Giants will fly to Texas.
The 62 year old Alderson has been in baseball for a long time, serving as Oakland A's president, A's general counsel, A's general manager, Major League Baseball executive vice president, and San Diego Padres CEO. He's considered to have been a mentor to Billy Beane, and his A's won the World Series in 1989. He's respected in all corners of the game, and his hiring will be met with widespread approval.
His first task with the Mets will be finding a new manager to replace Jerry Manuel. They'll want to get that done in short order so that the front office can turn its attention to roster matters.

Ian Van Dahl Radio
The female Belgian trio Ian Van Dahl became one of the most successful projects by DJs/producers Christophe Chantzis and Erick Vanspawen. Their debut single, "Castles in the Sky," based on the breakup of a relationship, climbed to the Top Ten in Germany, the U.K., and Canada soon after its release. Originally recorded by singer Marsha (born Martine Theeuwen), the 2001 dancefloor anthem was later re-recorded by AnneMie (born Annemie Coenen) and promoted with live performances along with professional dancers Diana Dander and Jeanine Tiemissen. Ian Van Dahl's debut album, titled A.C.E., delivered the hit singles "Will I" and "Reason." ~ Drago BonacichPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Mike Miller is going back to a former home, agreeing to a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Miller confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on Wednesday, about a week after the Miami Heat designated him as their amnesty player after three seasons with the team. Miller will still collect more than $12 million in salary from the Heat over the next two seasons, but will not count against their salary cap or luxury tax.
The Grizzlies have not yet formally announced the deal.
Miller spent parts of 6 seasons with the Grizzlies from 2003 through 2008. He helped the Heat win the past two NBA titles, and has averaged 12.3 points while shooting 41% from 3-point range in his 13 NBA seasons.

Email Text:Hi Sam and Nina,
Well, it seems we're finally getting a taste of what it's like to live in a
war zone, right here in New York. Thank God we are all safe, and so far, we
don't know of any close relatives or friends who were touched by the World
Trade Center/Pentagon disaster.
How has the news coverage been where you are? It's pretty shocking over
here. I can stand at a bridge near my job and look over the water, and see
the smoking skyline where the World Trade Center used to stand. Billows of
smoke fill the sky as if a sniper simply blew out those two buildings. I
guess that's really what happened.
In some ways, I think it's good for us Americans to be reminded of what many
parts of the rest of the world deal with almost every day. This is an
important wake-up call for us, to remind us to be aware of the rest of the
world, because we are all connected. Perhaps this will make Americans more
conscious of global politics. I wonder if this event will breed a whole new
generation of political science students.
We still don't know who's responsible for this, but I hope that we Americans
don't become hateful toward whatever ethnic group the terrorists belonged
to; after all, they were terrorists, not necessarily representative of the
views of their fellow countrymen. I suppose only time will tell.
It's a little slow and quiet here at the office; it was hard to get to work,
and a lot of roads are closed. Whenever we hear planes, we tend to get
scared because there are no commercial jets flying right now, so we know
that the jets we hear must be military. We only hope that they are friendly
planes, not foreign.
I was supposed to fly to Chicago on Friday, but now, my mom wants me to
cancel. I don't think it'll be unsafe, but if nothing else, there will be a
very long wait at the airport. I suppose she's right: don't fly immediately
after a national air disaster.
On my way to work, there was a lot of debris on the highway. I think it was
ash and detritus carried back by police and rescue vehicles that had been at
the scene of the disaster; it must have fallen off the cars.
How are you?

ARLINGTON -- Right-hander Tyson Ross was on the move again Friday, this time back to Triple-A Sacramento following a brief third stint with the A's.Ross was optioned less than 24 hours after he was handed the loss in Thursday's 7-6 defeat to the Rangers, who tagged the pitcher for five runs on eight hits in four-plus innings. The A's called up first baseman Chris Carter to take his roster spot, allowing manager Bob Melvin to keep a taxed eight-man bullpen on hand for the remaining three games in Texas. In 12 starts with the A's, Ross is 2-8 with a 6.35 ERA and nearly as many walks allowed (30) as strikeouts garnered (35) in 62 1/3 innings. Left-handers were batting .354 off him, and his .277 opponents' average against right-handers wasn't encouraging, either. "He needs to get deeper in games," Melvin said. "He needs to find a secondary pitch that's a bit slower, we believe. His fastball velocity, if it's 92-93, and his slider is 87-88, that's probably not a big enough gap for a starter. But I think his slider was better in the times we saw him here recently. Sometimes his rhythm can be a little bit off, and therefore teams will run on him a little too much." With Ross back in Sacramento, the A's will need a starter for Tuesday's home contest against Boston, and the answer may already be in the clubhouse, as Melvin said Bartolo Colon could be an option for the start. It marks the day Colon is eligible to be reinstated from the disabled list, and the team is likely to decide on his availability for the outing after his bullpen Saturday. Right-hander Graham Godfrey, currently stationed in Sacramento, has posted numbers similar to Ross in five appearances (four starts) for the A's this season, going 0-4 with a 6.43 ERA. But he could potentially be back Tuesday, should Oakland keep him from making his scheduled start with the River Cats on Saturday.
A's call up former top prospect Carter
ARLINGTON -- Each of Chris Carter's four stays with Oakland has been a disappointment, but the A's youngster is hoping the fifth time proves to be the charm.Carter, once considered the club's top prospect, was called up on Friday to make his season debut with the A's, following two stints in each of the last two seasons. He started at first base against Rangers lefty Matt Harrison, batting seventh, and will platoon with Brandon Moss -- hitting just .125 over his past seven games -- at the position going forward. It would seemingly serve the A's well to give Carter a lengthy look at the plate in order to decide where he fits into the organization's future. The 25-year-old has played in parts of eight Minor League seasons, collecting a combined .283 average, .378 on-base percentage and .913 OPS, yet he's hit just .136 with three home runs and a .174 OBP in the big leagues. "I think, like anybody, you make your own opportunities at the big league level," manager Bob Melvin said. "If you come in, you knock the door down and force us to put you into the lineup. I think that's what everyone aspires to do in the big leagues. It just hasn't happened for him yet up to this point." "That's always the thought process," Carter said. "I know what to expect now. I don't have any excuses." Most recently, Carter was batting .279 with 12 home runs and 53 RBIs in 72 games with Triple-A Sacramento. He appeared in 47 games at first base and, more recently, made several starts at designated hitter while splitting time in the field with former big league regular Daric Barton, who's hitting .253 for the River Cats. "I've been coming along a lot better now," Carter said. "I went through some struggles a few weeks ago but came out of it and have been feeling good lately. Before, I was swinging at everything again, which I know I can't do. "It's always nice to be back. I've been waiting for this moment all season, and I'm ready for it." Melvin noted Carter has made small adjustments at the plate since he was last in Oakland, making better use of the lower half of his body rather than just relying on the power from his hands. Yet, Melvin also noted the bigger change for Carter in the big leagues will likely have to be a mental one. "I think the physical attributes are all there," Melvin said. "You watch him take batting practice and you see how far he hits the ball. In spring, we've seen him do some good things, too. Just maybe you create a little doubt in your mind at the big league level that you haven't been able to break through and stay."
Worth noting
Josh Reddick received a scheduled day off on Friday, with the right-handed-hitting Jonny Gomes starting in right field against Harrison. Elsewhere in the lineup, Derek Norris received his first big league start at designated hitter, one night after hitting his second home run in five games with the A's.

Now in the year 2014, approximately 30% of all NBA players have D-League experience.
It's undeniable that some of the more notable players in The Association today (see the likes of Jeremy Lin, Danny Green, and Chris Andersen) have risen up through the ranks of the minor league in recent years. Thus, it's becoming more and more important for fans and big league personnel alike to pay special attention to the talent in the D-League after all.
The NBADL's most promising of prospects strut their stuff each and every night in hopes of getting noticed, catching the eye of an NBA executive, and perhaps earning that oh so coveted big league call-up soon after.
Of course, whereas such D-League athletes hope to catch on with NBA teams for the longterm, there's no doubt any one of them would relish an opportunity to prove themselves regardless, should an NBA team be hit with an injury bug and need someone to fill in instead.
Needless to say, this is one of the more crucial periods for NBA teams to start thinking ahead. Ten-day contracts can now be signed, allowing teams to take a chance and perhaps have a peek at those most intriguing young guns who may be able to step in and help a squad, as many head towards postseason runs.
Taking all of this (and more) into consideration, the RidiculousUpside.com staff (featuring Keith Schlosser, Scott Rafferty, and Dakota Schmidt) is to proud to introduce our Prospect Pyramid, where we rank the minor league's top players at each position.
Without further adieu, here are the power forwards.
1) Chris Wright, Maine Red Claws: Wright is a young gun who's continuing to make strides towards becoming a complete player. Able to score the ball, crash the boards, muscle up on defense, and hit a mid-range jumper, there's not much more teams could ask for from such an up and coming player.
2013-14 Stats: 21.3 points (47% from the field, 29% from deep), 1.6 assists, 7.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.4 blocks
2) Ike Diogu, Bakersfield Jam: Diogu has a well-known NBA name, but hasn't amassed all too much fame in The Association over the years just yet. Still, a strong showing at the D-League Showcase did wonders towards proving he has still has what it takes to garner consideration for a spot on any number of big league benches.
2013-14 Stats: 14.8 points (53% from the field, 43% from deep), 1.0 assists, 7.6 rebounds, 0.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks
3) Kevin Jones, Canton Charge: As a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers last year, Jones was a bit of a raw prospect. This season, he's beginning smooth out all facets of his game as a nightly double-double candidate in the D-League.
2013-14 Stats: 16.4 points (51% from the field, 25% from deep), 7.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.4 blocks
4) Damion James, Bakersfield Jam: James is a much more physical player than most would expect from a young gun of his size and stature. Currently a member of the Jam, this NBA veteran plays a role quite similar to that of the one he'd play with any team in The Association.
2013-14 Stats: 12.2 points (44% from the field, 25% from deep), 1.6 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 1.1 blocks
5) Willie Reed, Springfield Armor: Reed is still young and raw, but this prospect is definitely worth keeping an eye on, as worthwhile physical big men are often difficult to come by in The Association.
2013-14 Stats: 12.8 points (60% from the field, 0% from deep), 0.8 assists, 8.8 rebounds, 0.4 steals, and 1.8 blocks
6) Richard Howell, Idaho Stampede: Another bright spot in Idaho next to Jackson and Bost, Howell has been one of the more refreshing surprises in the D-League this season. He's any intrigued NBA executive's dream for a young up and coming big man.
2013-14 Stats: 18.3 points (57% from the field, 0% from deep), 2.7 assists, 10.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals, and 0.7 blocks
7) Grant Jerrett, Tulsa 66ers (Currently Injured): Jerrett's an intriguing player, there's no doubt about that. But the first overall pick of the 2013 NBADL Draft has a ways to go before being able to muscle up next to those forwards ahead of him on this list. Still, the fact that the Thunder own his draft rights and are impressed thus far certainly says something about his prowess.
2013-14 Stats: 16.4 points (44% from the field, 41% from deep), 0.8 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.7 blocks

UCSF researchers are reporting the first success in very rapidly purifying one type of embryonic stem cell from a mix of many different types of embryonic stem cells in the culture dish. The technique, which avoids the need to genetically alter the cells to distinguish them, is a key advance, the researchers say, for obtaining the appropriate cells for repairing specific damaged tissues.

A new study by UCSF cardiologists and researchers found that high concentrations of cocoa flavanols decrease blood pressure, improve the health of blood vessels and increase the number of circulating angiogenic cells in patients with heart disease. The findings indicate that foods rich in flavanols – such as cocoa products, tea, wine, and various fruits and vegetables – have a cardio-protective benefit for heart disease patients.

The Final Four is nearly upon us. While the Kentucky-Louisville rematch has garnered plenty of press, Saturday's late matchup between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Kansas Jayhawks could be just as intriguing. Thankfully, SB Nation's Bill Connelly is here to fill you in on everything you need to know about both teams heading into what should be a very tight NCAA Tournament semifinal:
Jared Sullinger was on the sideline for the Buckeyes' 11-point loss to the Jayhawks in Lawrence last December. The fact that he is back and playing some of his best basketball of the season in the tournament could turn the tide in favor of the Buckeyes. Still, Kansas has somehow managed to win consistently throughout the year despite poor free throw and 3-point shooting, and high turnover rates.
Connelly is taking the Buckeyes to win close, 73-72, on Saturday. For even more in-depth analysis, his breakdown of both Final Four games is a must-read. Also be sure to check out college basketball editor Mike Rutherford's full recap of the previous meeting between the two teams, and what it can tell us about the game ahead.

Eka Pada Sirsasana (Foot-behind-the-Head Pose)
Joel Kramer, a well-known yoga teacher from Bolinas, California, once described in Yoga Journal an aspect of his approach to yoga he called "playing the edge." Kramer's ideas have influenced my practice ever since. "Playing the edge," as I understand it, means taking yourself to your limit and, through subtle awareness and refined adjustments, continuing to practice without stepping back from or going over that edge.
To illustrate this concept, let's consider the first stage of Supta Padangusthasana. In this pose, you lie on your back with your legs stretched straight out on the floor. Then you raise your right leg and catch your right foot by either grasping your big toe with your right hand or by holding a strap around your foot. Keeping your right leg straight, you pull your foot back toward your head. As you move your leg, you are going to feel the stretch in the back of your leg intensify. At some point, the increasingly intense sensation of stretch will begin to turn into pain. Lilias Folan used to refer to the point just before pain as a place of "sweet discomfort." The art of playing the edge is to find and work at that exact point of transition, without losing either the sweetness or the discomfort.
A challenging aspect of practicing this way is that these edges are not at all static. They are in constant flux. Thus, playing the edge skillfully requires unwavering concentration and calm awareness. It transforms your practice into a meditation, and to my mind, is one of the primary differences between practicing yoga asanas and "exercising."
One possible result of playing your edge is that you might find yourself practicing increasingly difficult poses. For example, you may have become flexible in your forward bends to the point where you can rest your torso on your straight legs with ease in Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend). In terms of flexibility, Paschimottanasana no longer
brings you to your edge. To find your flexibility edge, you might need to practice Kurmasana (Tortoise Pose).
Seen in this light, the practice of more advanced poses is not some ego-gratifying game of one-upmanship or a spiritually materialistic approach to acquiring more and more difficult asanas. (Bumper stickers notwithstanding, I suspect that when we die, the person with the most poses doesn't win anything in particular.) Instead, if you're committed to playing the edge in your practice, doing advanced poses may simply be a natural and appropriate progression.
When you say "advanced yoga pose," one of the poses that may come to mind for many folks is Eka Pada Sirsasana (Foot-behind-the-Head Pose�not to be confused with the Headstand variation that has the same Sanskrit name). It is difficult for almost everyone and is a real eye-catcher of a pose. I recall that the first time I thumbed through a book of yoga postures, the ones that jumped off the page were Eka Pada Sirsasana and
its more advanced cousin, Yoganidrasana (Yogic Sleep Pose). My reaction was not unlike that of a couple who, some years later, happened to observe me practicing Eka Pada Sirsasana on a remote beach. I was unaware of their attention until I heard the woman exclaim incredulously to her partner, "Oh, m'God, Harry! Look at that!"

Controlled detonation in Dover
Naval explosives experts have blown up a large Second World War German bomb which was picked up by a dredger.
The 500lb device was brought to the surface on Sunday by the David Church which was operating near the entrance of Dover Harbour in Kent, a Royal Navy spokesman said.
The 1m long bomb was taken three miles out to sea off deal and detonated on the seabed by a team from Portsmouth on Sunday. A one-mile cordon was put in place to protect shipping.
– Lieutenant Dan Herridge, Royal Navy
We don't come across this size of bomb that often. This one was in poor condition and we could not tell if the fuses were intact or not, so the safest option was to take it out away from the busy shipping lanes and dispose of it as soon as we could."

CATEGORIES Interviews, Toronto Film Festival, Moviefone CanadaA veteran of film, TV and theater, Oliver Platt is one of the key pieces in the ensemble puzzle of 'The Oranges,' playing opposite his former 'West Wing' co-star Allison Janney as Terry Ostroff. When Terry's daughter (Leighton Meester) starts dating his best friend (Hugh Laurie), it throws all of their lives into disarray. But credit Platt and director Julian Farino's unconventional suburban comedy for not taking the obvious route and instead finding off-beat humor in an otherwise tricky situation. And while Terry may be the most subdued of the bunch, he's also the glue that holds the two families (and the movie) together.
On the heels of the movie's Toronto Film Festival premiere, Moviefone talked to Platt about the subversive comedy and why 'The Oranges' just might be the next great Christmas movie.
How'd you enjoy the reaction last night? People seemed to love the movie.
I have to say, I loved it. I was very surprised. You know, this is not just blowing smoke, but the Toronto Film Festival has, amongst the festival community, really has the best reputation [as] the premiere festival audience. They're enthusiastic, film literate. Rooting for movies. Sort of all of the good clichés of a cinematically-disposed population and none of the bad ones. No waiting for people to fail, no sitting back on their heels, you know, show me, show me, show me. It's really nice. It's one of the reasons people love to come here.
This script came with a lot of buzz attached. What did you think when you first read it?
Julian [Farino] sent it to me, and we spent about an hour just talking about it, me walking around my garden in New York and him walking around his garden in Los Angeles. Terry's one of those characters that I perceive and describe as beautifully underwritten. What was very clear to me was the arc of the storyline, thematically and narratively, that was very, very clear in Terry. So it was a great opportunity to hopefully strip [everything] away and show that. The good thing about movies is that it's a visual medium, so the fun thing is to show, instead of tell. It's easy to tell.
Is that something you look for when you chose your roles?
The seven or eight people who pay attention to what I do on a consistent basis will laugh, but I always enjoy opportunities to be more understated and to try to tell stories in more of a subtle way. And I think Terry is a muted character. He's a muted character who sort of sublimates his passion for life. I think his relationship is somewhat dormant and he rediscovers it. The effect that this event has is that it actually wakes him up too, which is the strange and beautiful thing about the movie.
Despite the heavy subject matter -- an affair, a marriage breaking up -- the movie actually has a surprisingly positive attitude.
And that's what is so subversive about the film! I don't think the movie is trying to tell you this is good. The movie is just telling you things are not always what they seem and that morality isn't meant to be simplistic. Which is why I think it's an interesting movie.
Do you think the movie could be a tough sell because of that subversive approach?
I think that that's a really interesting question. I think that it's a trickier sell. But I also think if you can navigate that and get the movie in front of a lot of people, then a lot more people will see it. Because I think that it's actually also a deceptively commercial movie. It's very entertaining.
And a deceptively good holiday movie too. Do you see this as a holiday movie, or is that setting almost incidental?
Well, you know what the funny thing is? The thing about the holidays is there's so much pressure to have a good time, and often we're all so relieved when the holidays are over, not to have to have this smile plastered on my face, tell everybody how much I love them. Of course, that's the best part when you finally get to do that, but celebrating and being joyous automatically, on command for a month -- which is basically in the States what the holiday season is -- it's exhausting!
But in a weird way, I was going to say I think that this is actually a great Christmas movie. And at first I was going to say counterprogramming, but then I go, 'Is this really counterprogramming anymore?' Because this type of dark Christmas movie has actually become a mainstream thing. Because the truth is, this is not 'Bad Santa.' And actually the movie ends up being very uplifting. If you really follow the story and you can get past the conventional morality, I think it's a very uplifting movie. Especially because the movie's not telling you what to say. It's certainly not approving anybody's behavior or disproving anybody's behavior. It's just telling you to keep your eyes open.

TORONTO – For Randy Carlyle, it was a potential injury that could have been avoided.
Joffrey Lupul was forced to depart Maple Leafs practice on Thursday afternoon after taking a shot in the foot. He was sent for x-rays and later diagnosed with a bruised foot. The 30-year-old joined teammates on the team's trip to Columbus.
Frustrating Carlyle was the simple fact that Lupul was not wearing the required protective shot-blockers.
"It's hard to defend the position of them not putting them on for practice," Carlyle said following practice. "So there is a little extra frustration to get possibly an injury through practice where the protective equipment that's made available to the player, they don't want to wear."
Nik Kulemin, who has missed the past eight games, also did not wear the protective equipment when he broke a small bone in his right ankle earlier in the month. Carlyle said the shot-blockers, plastic shields which cover the skate, are mandatory.
"We've addressed it once and everybody's been fitted for the molds, but there's a couple players that refuse to wear it," he said.
"I tried wearing them after I came back from a broken foot a couple years ago," said James van Riemsdyk. "I had to wear them to play in the playoffs that year and I could never get used to them so I scrapped them."
Lupul has been bitten with injuries throughout his career and more recently in the past two seasons. He missed the final 16 games of the 2011-12 season because of a separated shoulder, suiting up in only 16 games last season due to a broken right forearm and concussion.
The Leafs will have the previously suspended David Clarkson in their lineup for the first time on Friday, but have been dealing with injuries to Kulemin, Mark Fraser (knee), Frazer McLaren (finger), and James van Riemsdyk, who missed two games with back spasms but returned to the lineup on Tuesday. McLaren, who has been out all season, has been cleared to return from a broken right pinky finger. Assigned to the Marlies on Wednesday, Josh Leivo has been recalled by the club as a likely precaution for Lupul and will make the trip to Columbus.

Owl Painting
See more activities in: Second Grade, Fall
Make an owl painting with your child to get ready for Halloween! Create an adorable autumn landscape by creating a watercolor background, then adding a layer of tempera paint. Handprint owls add a personal touch. This owl painting is a wonderful way to introduce your child to the technique of layering images, and will help him begin to understand the interesting visual effects layering produces.
What You Need:
- Watercolor paper
- Watercolors
- Water
- Paintbrushes
- Tempera paint
- Pencil
What You Do:
- Ask your child to paint water all over the watercolor paper using a brush. It should be wet, but not puddling with water.
- While the paper is wet, ask her to paint the background using watercolors to create the autumn sky. Let dry completely.
- Have her use the pencil to draw a moon and the branches of her tree.
- Have her paint in the moon using watered-down, white tempera paint. If she wants a stronger-looking moon, she can just use pure, undiluted tempera.
- Ask her to paint two branches using tempera paint. Let dry.
- Help your child paint one of her hands with brown tempera paint and press it down on the paper. Turn the landscape upside down so that the top portion is facing your child. This will make positioning the handprints much easier. Ideally, her fingers should be positioned so the palm of her hand is right above a branch.
- Repeat step 6 with the opposite hand on a different branch. Allow the owl bodies to dry.
- Have her paint in her owl's eyes, and its beak.
- Hang up the owl picture landscape in celebration of the arrival of autumn!

Of all the fish that swim off the mid-Atlantic, yellowfin tuna can be the most fun to catch. These fish feed in packs, and encounters usually result in chaotic action with multiple hookups. Rigger clips pop, lines come tight, rods bend over, drags smoke — there's nothing like a tuna whammy.
Last spring, big schools of small yellowfin appeared off Virginia Beach, Virginia, and then through the summer, the bite spread up the coast to South Jersey. But it was all a preamble to the real show last fall, when yellowfin tuna converged off Oregon Inlet, North Carolina.
Tuna-Fish Sandwich
Last October, schools of yellowfin tuna hit the waters off Oregon Inlet like an invading horde. Almost overnight, boats went from fishing for white marlin to filling the box with yellowfin.
"The tuna bite is on," Capt. Jeff Ross told me over the phone. "Come on down."
The next day, I was standing beside Ross on the flybridge of Obsession, his 55-foot Sheldon Midgett, as we watched almost a dozen Sea Witch lures skitter along the surface behind the boat.
Just after the water temperature gauge on the console hit 75 degrees, there was an explosion on one of the flat lines. Then another blew up behind the right long-rigger bait. Ross and mate Walt Ogden started jigging. "They're here!" Ross announced to the crew, laughing. "Let's not screw this up!" With four lines going in four different directions, there was potential for a major mess.
Ross choreographed Ogden's moves as he danced around the cockpit uncrossing lines. When they couldn't figure out how the lines were twisted, Ogden would instruct the anglers to hold their rod tips together so he could get a better angle on the lines.
"I got color," one of the anglers said as his fish came to the surface. Ogden put the anglers in a holding pattern while he gaffed and landed one tuna after another. After all fish were in the boat, Ogden went back to work resetting the baits and Ross put the boat in a circle to make another pass over the same spot.
We were fishing a small finger of slightly warmer water that seemed to be holding the bait and the fish. With no color change or current edge to guide his search, Ross constantly kept an eye on the water temperature. He also worked in conjunction with other boats to make a mental map of the temperature breaks, noting where the warmer water was and what direction it was moving.
Ross explained that the key to catching yellowfin is finding the right temperature over the structure. Yellowfin will congregate wherever 68- to 76-degree water crosses the continental shelf. But sometimes the fish will favor 75.4-degree water over 74.5-degree — the slightest variance can make all the difference. Once he finds the right water, he looks for drops, ridges and plateaus to hold fish.
Then he trolls at 6 to 7 knots, running as many lines as possible, pulling Ilanders on one flat line and one short rigger, and Sea Witches everywhere else.
When the fish are holding deep, he replaces one flat line with a heavy rod spooled with braided line pulling a No. 12 planer and a Sea Witch. Ross doesn't slow the boat until he's fooled several fish. After one line's down, everyone springs into action, jigging lines to encourage more bites.
Which is exactly what we did. While the bite was off slightly, after a few more singles and whammies, we had a nice catch in the box. "We got a mess of fish, and you guys had a great time," Ross said at the end of the day. "What more could you ask for?"
What more could any angler ask for?
Kite Fliers
The first signs of yellowfin in early spring came when boats returned to Virginia Beach Fishing Center with holds full of tuna. As soon as water temperatures hit the upper 60s, the tuna bite was on. Leading the charge was Capt. Steve Richardson on Backlash, a 53-foot custom Jim Smith hull that is as remarkable as its skipper.
Richardson looks for the fish in any finger or eddy of warm water surrounded by significantly cooler temperatures. "That concentrates the fish and the bait," he explains, "making them easy to find."
Just like Ross and the rest of the tuna fleet, Richardson relies on Sea Witch lures and Ilanders to catch yellowfin. But when the bite gets tough, he switches it up.
"I love to fly a kite," he says. "The tuna really come to it." Late in the season, when the water is hot and clear and the tuna are focused on flying fish, Richardson uses a kite to dangle two rubber flying fish. "With no leader in the water, I get more bites," he says.
He'll fly his baits along a temperature break or over structure, and especially around breaking fish.
The conditions have to be right for a kite bite. "The bait should spend only 30 percent of the time in the water," Richardson says. The rest of the time, the rubber flying fish is in the air. Richardson tells stories of yellowfin rocketing out of the water to attack the rubber flier. "That's about as much excitement as you can take!" he says.
Of all the fish that swim off the mid-Atlantic, yellowfin tuna can be the most fun to catch. These fish feed in packs, and encounters usually result in chaotic action with multiple hookups. Rigger clips pop, lines come tight, rods bend over, drags smoke — there's nothing like a tuna whammy.

"The card was amazing! It was timely delivered and looked great! I had my family cards sent out directly which was a huge help. However, it appears they were folded backwards. I am bet happy with the results"
"I love the fact that you could modify the colour effect of the picture. It makes such a difference & looks amazing. I was very impressed with the paper quality and printing. Everyone found the birth announcement very original and I got many compliments."
"I love how this card turned out! It is great for really featuring the photo with few distractions. I added rounded corners which looked great. By the way, I used this card for a child's birthday party inviation instead of an announcement."
"This is a really lovely design and the print quality was excellent. To personalise the announcement, I added the name of the hospital as well as a message of thanks on the back to family and friends. I will definitely be ordering from Tiny Prints again based on this product."
"I love that Tiny Prints gives us twin parents many options for birth announcements! The quality was superb and came right on time to get the word out of their arrival. I will definitely use Tiny Prints for our future stationary needs."

Ken Helling Golf Tournament a great success

Hits: 122
The Kimball-Eden Valley-Watkins boys' and girls' golf teams hosted the Ken Helling Golf Tournament last Saturday, Sept. 15, at Kimball Golf Course, and you could not ask for a better day. Ten teams were competing for the top honors in this four-person scramble tournament. Team Kuechle and Team Tschumperlin came in with scores of-9. Tschumperlin won the tie breaker hole with a birdie and took home four casino packages for Grand Casino Mille Lacs. The Kuechle team each received gift certificates to area restaurants for second-place honors. There were six contests out on the course. Longest drive for men was won by Cris Risberg, while the longest drive for women winner was Kimball varsity golfer, Nicole Vossen. Longest putt winners were Scott Dice and Wayne Tschumperlin. Closest to the pin winners were Jeff Swanson and Mutt Mayer.
This tournament was made possible by awesome business support, golf team volunteers, and the hard work of the staff at Kimball Golf Club. The Kimball-Eden Valley-Watkins coaches and players would like to thank the following businesses for sponsoring holes in the Ken Helling Golf Tournament: Official Sponsors: Kuechle Underground, Arnolds of Kimball, RIE Coatings Inc, State Bank of Kimball, Fire Trak, and Farmers Bank of Watkins. Hole Sponsors: Powder Ridge, Kimball Garage, Kim-Built Propane, Knaus Sausage House, Triple R Grill and Bar, Hendricks Sand and Gravel, Hendricks Bus Company, State Bank of Eden Valley, Eden Valley Lumber and Ugly Tom's. We would also like to thank the businesses that donated the many door prizes and silent auction items for our event.

- Did unpaid, newbie prosecutor imperil case by thanking juror Tom Hanks? Contact leads to plea deal
Did unpaid, newbie prosecutor imperil case by thanking juror Tom Hanks? Contact leads to plea deal
Posted Sep 13, 2013 7:02 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A domestic violence prosecution began to unravel after a lawyer in the Los Angeles City Attorney's office approached a juror in the stairwell to thank him for his service.
The juror was actor Tom Hanks, report CNN, TMZ and the New York Daily News. The contact by the lawyer—who wasn't the prosecuting attorney in the case—led the defense lawyer to seek a mistrial. The case ended on Wednesday with a deal in which the defendant pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and agreed to pay a $150 fine.
In a separate story, TMZ says the lawyer who approached Hanks graduated from a Los Angeles law school last year and is part of a volunteer program in the City Attorney's office. The volunteer lawyers work for free for up to a year to get experience trying cases.
A spokesperson said the City Attorney has been apprised of the situation and is reviewing the incident.

Cheers of exhilaration rang out as teams of runners and walkers finished the physical fight to cross the finish line for the 14th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Various teams and individuals sporting fun outfits like pink tutu's fought through the fatigue of the race to honor the many who've lost their fight to breast cancer and others currently battling the disease.
"Linda is my aunt and like my second mother and she was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago," explained "Race for the Cure" participant Sandy Havard.
Havard's aunt, Linda Mason was diagnosed with breast cancer in January. Saturday morning Mason watched on the sidelines as "Team Linda" and so many others hit the pavement to encourage her and let her know she's not alone.
"Oh it's just unbelievable how people have been so supportive not only in this, but when anyone finds out you have it your family and friends and people you don't even know show concern for you," Mason told WLBT News.
Governor Phil Bryant raced for the cure too. The Governor's mother-in-law has been diagnosed with breast cancer twice.
"She's a survivor, she's 90 years-old now and she's just a remarkable person very close to our heart," said Governor Bryant.
Speaking of survivors, Dr. Wilma Klopton, the president of the Central Mississippi affiliate of Susan G. Komen has been a survivor since 1998. She's helped with the race for several years; in part to encourage others.
"We're trying to make sure we have a survivor rate that increases and that is no longer something we are dreading," Dr. Klopton explained.
Several breast cancer survivors crossed the finish line. The youngest is a 34 year-old and the oldest is 71.
The majority of proceeds from the "Race for the Cure" will benefit Mississippians. The money helps provide breast health research, diagnostic screenings, treatment services and education for women without insurance.

Saturday's "crop drop" in the parking lot at Jasper's First Baptist Church drew food banks and agencies from across central Alabama to collect hundreds of pounds of fresh apples that will go to help feed hungry families across the state.
In all, volunteers bagged almost 40,000 pounds in a little more than 90 minutes.
Jasper's First Baptist Church and First United Methodist Church helped sponsor the event.
Mary Linn Botts, Alabama's program coordinator for Society of St. Andrew, which sponsors "crop drops" across the nation each year, said Saturday's large group of volunteers helps make the events go smoothly.
"This is amazing. I'm thrilled," Botts said. "It's the grace of God that brings them. I put the word out about these events, and I have to trust that He's going to provide the volunteers. And He did. They are here, all ages, all walks of life."
Society of St. Andrew is a grassroots, faith-based, hunger relief nonprofit working with all denominations to bridge the hunger gap between 96 billion pounds of food wasted every year in the U.S. and the nearly 40 million Americans who live in poverty.
"What we do is partner with more than 220 agencies across 12 counties, and we distribute almost 9 million pounds of food each year," said Amanda Storey, the assistant director of the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. Storey was helping register agencies that came from as far away as Alabaster and Winfield for Saturday's event.
"Agencies across these 12 counties rely on us to get food, so what is great about events like this is that we get more regional fresh products to the people who need it — the hungry families," Storey said. "This is a great partnership with the Society of St. Andrew, because they are able to locate where those regional and local farmers are who are willing to donate their products."
Saturday's crop of apples came from Scott's Orchards in Hazel Green.
Will Scott, whose family donated the apples for Saturday's event, said he and his family are happy to help those in need.
"We had a great crop this year, absolutely tremendous," Scott said. "And this is a great place for the apples to go. The food banks are doing a great job, along with the Society of St. Andrew, and it's great to see all this working out so well."
Botts said farmers across the state who donate their products for the food banks are invaluable to what her organization is trying to do.
"We couldn't do this without our farmers," Botts said. "My organization reaches out to the farmers and makes connections and tries to build relationships. What we tell them is that we don't want what is sellable. We only want what's going to go to waste."
Botts said approximately 30 agencies from across central Alabama, including more than a dozen from Walker County, benefitted from Saturday's event. "Some received as little as six bags, some as many as 30 bags," Botts said. "Other groups were able to take hundreds of pounds of apples."
Among those benefitting locally were the Salvation Army food bank, Backyard Blessings, Mission of Hope and the food bank at Sumiton Church of God.
"This just shows there's a great need for this," Botts said.

LSU freshman shortstop Alex Bregman has been invited to join the Team USA baseball squad for its 2013 summer tour.
Bregman, a product of Albuquerque, N.M., is batting .439 this season with 10 doubles, six triples, three homers, 34 RBI, 39 runs and nine stolen bases. He leads the SEC in hits (61), triples and runs scored, and he is No. 2 in the league in batting average, trailing only LSU teammate Mason Katz (.442).
"USA Baseball could not have selected a better person to represent our country than Alex Bregman," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "He is a great player, but he also is a young man of impeccable character who exemplifies the values of dedication and a strong work ethic."
Bregman is scheduled to join Team USA in late June for the 33-game summer tour. The tour includes stops in Japan and games against the Cuban national team.
Bregman is the third LSU player coached by Mainieri to be invited to play for Team USA, joining catcher Micah Gibbs (2009) and outfielder Mikie Mahtook (2010).

Attorney agrees to give up law practice, make restitution to IRS
Original post made on May 3, 2013

I have personally known Bill Hirst, as his client and a friend for over 40 years. He's a good man and a good friend. This is not a case of who was right or who was wrong; it was a case of who could hold out the longest. After spending almost $500,000, Bill knew he was on the winning side of this; however was forced to throw in the towel or jeopardize his savings and pension. The family involved in this matter never filed any charges; the IRS never lost any money and Bill never profited from this in any way. This is a classic example of the Government (IRS) being able to grind a person down until he runs out of money, forcing him to plea bargain and then claiming to win the case. Very sad indeed.
Please don't judge Bill Hirst by this one unfortunate incident, judge him by his years of good work in the city of Pleasanton, starting out as city attorney and his years of his good legal work in private practice. Bill was a long time member of Rotary and did a lot of charitable work for our community. He was always there to help a friend. Bill currently serves as the chairman of the Pioneer Cemetery committee. Our committee is trying to make improvements on our Cemetery and turn it in to the nicest park in town.
Bill Hirst is a good man and a dear friend and I'm standing behind him!

FC, you are WRONG about this -- "This is not a case of who was right or who was wrong". It most certainly is.
What he did violated the law and put him in the crosshairs of the IRS. It is not a question of whether he profited or whether one red cent went unpaid to the IRS. It is the law and he broke it. Any attorney knows better than that. He made a mistake and then he lied about it. He got off lucky considering what the IRS could have done to him.

MISSOULA, Mont. - Missoula County's attorney says the only way a suspended University of Montana football player will avoid trial on a rape charge is to plead guilty.
The Missoulian reports Fred Van Valkenburg made his comment Wednesday, a day after the defense attorney for 22-year-old Beau Donaldson told a judge he has had "multiple conferences" with the prosecutor's office and believed a potential resolution short of a trial was likely.
Donaldson is charged with sexual intercourse without consent. Court records say he acknowledged during a monitored telephone conversation in December that he assaulted a woman who was sleeping at his house in September 2010.
District Judge Karen Townsend set a trial date for Sept. 24.

Also, they are taking donations of all sizes. So if you have items in good condition you were looking to get rid of, the Dorks will take them! For more information, email email@example.com.
Dorks in Dungeons is inspired by a well-known rule-intensive role-playing dice game where players create imaginary characters in a fantasy world and set off on quests - all controlled by the Dungeon Master.
The show can be seen once a month at the Players' Ring in Portsmouth. The next performances will be on Thurs., May 16 and Thurs., June 13 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $12.00 General, $10.00 for Students, Seniors, Members. The Players' Ring is located at 105 Marcy Street.
