Moisture surges in with gusto tonight! Moderate to heavy rain will be possible for the Upstate, but I expect the torrential downpours to stay south of us. Temps at the surface could get cold enough in the mountains to bring a few hours of freezing rain. This would cause a glaze of ice in some areas. Travel in western NC could be hazardous during the early morning hours.
The morning hours (6am-Noon) in the Upstate could be a bit hazardous on the roads as well, but not for wintry weather reasons. We'll get some of our heaviest rain then, which could cause ponding of water on roads and minor flooding in general.
Tuesday afternoon should bring some clearing for the Upstate, while the mountains will keep the clouds and eventually get some light rain and snow showers mid to late week.
Late week and the weekend look REALLY interesting. Cold air will be in place by late week as a strong front moves through. Some light amounts of moisture will push in, that could bring some light snow for the mountains for Thu, Fri and Sat. Some flurries and light snow will be possible in the Upstate as well. If a low is able to develop off the coast, that could bring a BIG change to the forecast. For now, it looks like COLD and CLOUDY will be the main story for late week/weekend, with some light snow possible.

2013: Schmidt after an injury-marred 2012 campaign bounced back in full force, putting together a season worthy of his first MLL All-Star nod. The defenseman in 14 regular-season games recorded 40 groundballs, two goals (including a 2-pointer) and one assist. Schmidt collected another five groundballs in the postseason.
2012: The Hounds acquired Schmidt in Nov. 2011, through a trade with the Denver Outlaws. Unfortunately, the defenseman missed the first half of the franchise's inaugural season after tearing his pectoral muscle in the offseason. He was able to play in five games at the end of the year, recording one goal, one assist and nine groundballs.
2011: Schmidt was drafted by the Denver Outlaws in the third round (15th overall) of the 2011 Collegiate Draft. He played in seven games for the Outlaws, scooping up 14 groundballs.
Collegiate: In four years at Maryland, Schmidt played in 63 games, collecting 127 groundballs to go with 79 forced turnovers. The defenseman served as team captain in his senior season, and also was honored that year as All-ACC and USILA Second Team All-American. As a junior in 2010, Schmidt was named All-ACC and USILA Third Team All-American, while also earning the Decker-Silber award as the Terps' top defenseman.
Personal: After majoring in wealth management and private banking, Brett enrolled in a Leadership Development Program with BB&T Bank for which he is currently working and living in Charlotte. During his spare time, Brett enjoys golfing, fishing, mountain biking, Crossfit and cooking. He has two older brothers, one younger sister, and both his parents are chiropractors.

Palo Alto's Ron Unz Leads Effort to Raise Minimum Wage in California
Original post made by Fred on Nov 25, 2013
Ron Unz, a Silicon Valley millionaire, rose to fame by promoting a ballot initiative that essentially eliminated bilingual education in California. But after decades in the conservative movement, Mr. Unz is pursuing a goal that has stymied liberals: raising the minimum wage.
Web Link

Makes cents; thanks for posting this.

This is a bad idea. Far too much money is sent out of the US as remittances, to countries mostly in Central and South America
Web Link
In 2011, remittances totaled $53.1 billion, more than eight times the amount of official aid, the report says.
More than half of those immigrating from Spanish-speaking countries -- 54% -- send part of their U.S. earnings home, and 17% of U.S.-born Latinos also maintain financial lifelines to relatives abroad, the Pew research shows.
Raising the salaries of illegals will only result in larger flows of money outside the county. Higher salaries will not result in the use of this money buying healthcare, or better housing. Higher wages will result in higher prices, and ultimately, more illegal immigration.
on Nov 29, 2013 at 9:16 am
Keep paying slave wages because minimum wage workers send TOO MUCH MONEY back to Mexico?
That's absurd. Besides, of all the people I know who make less than $15 an hour, none of them would remit - they either cannot afford to, or do not have family outside the US.
Raise the wage, let the rising tide lift all boats, and let's fix this economy. And ad indexing to it, as well.

When Glencoe Public Library's website first launched the library billed itself as being open 24 hours a day. Now the library hopes to be open wherever patrons are with a new application for smartphones.
"One of the things the [app] is designed for is so that you don't have to be at the library," said Mike Gershbein, virtual services librarian, at Glencoe Public Library.
Launched in late October the app allows people to search the library's catalog, renew and hold books, follow library news and events, as well as check out electronic books and audio.
A Bookworm's Dream
One of Gershbein's favorite features of the new app is BookLook, which allows people to scan the ISBN code of books they find elsewhere with the phone's camera and see if it's available at Glencoe Public Library.
"It'll even let you put a hold on the book," Gershbein said.
Part of the reason the library decided to offer a mobile feature is because about 20 percent of the library's website users already access the site using mobile devices, Gershbein said.
"What we wanted to do is to come up with a way to offer the most useful parts of the website so that it would be maximized for mobile use," he said.
Friends of Glencoe Public Library funded the cost of developing the app, which has been downloaded about 200 times since it was launched a little over two weeks ago, Gershbein said.
Technology Tuesday
On Tuesday, Nov. 27, the library will be offering two hour-long sessions at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. to help patrons learn how to use the new mobile app. For more information, visit: www.GlencoePublicLibrary.org.
The library hopes the app will offer people more access to library information and in turn, drive circulation of physical materials.
"Everything we try to do with technology in the library is an enhancement to service," Gershbein said. "We are never taking services away as we add technology features."

Royal Marine denies impersonating superior officer at wedding
2:17pm Tuesday 8th January 2013 in News
A Royal Marine corporal has pleaded not guilty to impersonating a superior officer by wearing a uniform and medals he was not entitled to at a wedding.
The court martial hearing at Portsmouth Naval Base heard that Corporal Robert Barnett, of 40 Commando Royal Marines, is accused of wearing the sergeant's dress uniform at the event on June 2 last year.
It's claimed the 32-year-old was reported to his superiors after he posted pictures of himself wearing the uniform on Facebook.
Barnett, who is based near Taunton, Somerset, denied the offence of conduct that is prejudicial to good order and service discipline by wearing a uniform that he was not entitled to.
Judge Advocate Alistair McGrigor said: ''The allegation is this defendant wore a dress uniform, presumably belonging to a colleague and had a number of medals he hadn't actually acquired in the proper way, at a wedding.''
The case was adjourned for a trial to take place on April 9.

Men's Soccer Earns Six Votes in NSCAA Top 25 Poll
FORT MYERS, Fla. – After knocking off a pair of A-Sun foes over the weekend, the FGCU men's soccer team picked up six votes in the NSCAA/HendrickCars.com National Top 25 Rankings, announced by the outlet on Tuesday afternoon.
Receiving two votes in last week's top 25 poll (Sept. 28), the Eagles grabbed more attention from the voting panel this week, bringing their total to six votes for the week of Oct. 5. Starting the year off 2-0 earned the Blue and Green 23 votes in the first regular season release of the top 25 poll (Sept. 7).
FGCU swept the opening weekend of A-Sun conference play for the first time in the brief four-year history of the program with a 2-1 overtime win over Lipscomb on Friday and a 2-0 shutout of Belmont on Sunday, both in Nashville, Tenn.
Despite sweeping the A-Sun opening weekend for the first time, FGCU slipped to the seventh spot in the NSCAA South Region rankings on Monday. The Eagles have now appeared in the South Region poll for three consecutive weeks and four times this season.
Sitting at 6-2-2, the Eagles turn their attention to a pair of Atlantic Sun conference contests at the FGCU Soccer Complex, hosting USC Upstate on Friday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. and regionally-ranked ETSU on Sunday, Oct. 10 at 6 p.m. The Blue and Green are currently riding a seven-game home unbeaten streak (6-0-1) dating back to last season, and are 5-0-1 in their last six A-Sun home contests.
Live stats, box scores and recaps for every FGCU contest are available at www.FGCUAthletics.com. Live updates of FGCU's games can also be followed on www.twitter.com/FGCUEagles.
Tickets for all home events can be purchased through the FGCU Ticket Office in Alico Arena either in person or by phone at (239) 590-7145. Tickets are also available at www.FGCUathletics.com/tickets.

NHS Trust merger will mean £43m cuts (From Harrow Times)
Get involved: send your pictures, video & news by texting Harrow Times to 80360, or upload here
Effects of merger of Ealing Hospital Trust and North West London Hospital Trust 'not yet known'
Updated 1:38pm Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News By Jaber Mohamed
Fears have been raised over how £43 million in cuts called for in a planned NHS merger will affect Harrow hospitals.
Ealing Hospital Trust and the North West London Hospital Trust, which already share senior managers and IT and estates departments, are expected to merge formally in April 2014.
A full business case is due to be submitted in July but Cllr Krishna James, the chair of Harrow Borough Council's health and social care scrutiny sub-committee, warned the effect of cuts in the borough is not yet known.
Cllr James said: "I'm very worried about what's going to happen to the health services in Harrow, especially because there is already a strain on resources at Northwick Park Hospital.
"At the moment I still don't know where the cuts are going to be made."
In a report to councillors, Simon Crawford, senior responsible officer with the Ealing and North West London Organisational Futures Programme said savings targets of £30 million had been called for by the end of the 2012/2013 financial year.
A total of £16 million of this was to come from the North West London Hospital Trust (NWLH), with the trust on course to make £13.4 million in savings this year.
This includes £1 million cut from nursing and medical staffing costs, which the report says emphasised cutting bank and agency staff, vacancy rates and staff turnover.
Some £500,000 has been spent on reducing time patients stay and closing beds, and cuts of £8.6 million have been made on premises and procurement and £1.2 million in 'corporate functions'.
A further £43.3 million will be cut in the following financial year.
The report outlines that boards of both trusts are "committed" to the merger and further 'back office' functions may be shared.
It adds that 'on-call expertise' may be shared before the merger, although proposals that could affect patients would be discussed with councillors.
If the merger goes ahead, each trust will remain an individual statutory body responsible for meeting financial responsibilities and saving targets but will have joint programmes and share processes.
A spokesman for NWLH said a full business case outlining the details of the cuts would be published in July.
The health and social care scrutiny sub-committee will meet on Monday to discuss the plans.

Maybe it's just a formality, but after pitching effectively against the Dodgers Monday afternoon, White Sox left-hander John Danks has officially been named the club's Opening-Day starter by rookie manager Robin Ventura.
With Mark Buehrle departing for the free-agent dollars in Miami, Danks might be the White Sox' best starting pitcher. While he went just 8-12 last season and missed a few weeks with a strained oblique muscle, Danks also posted the best strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.93) of his career.
Granted, Gavin Floyd's got a claim on the top spot, too. In fact, Floyd and Danks have essentially been pitching twins over the last four seasons, performance-wise, with Floyd actually holding a slight edge. But for whatever reason, Danks seems to get more love as a potential ace, even though he's never really pitched like an ace for a whole season.
Of course, it really doesn't matter who starts the first game and who starts the second. Both Floyd and Danks would be solid No. 2 or 3 starters on mid-level contending teams, and there's been some talk about one or both getting traded at some point in 2012.

AP Sports Writer
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) - Arkansas running back Alex Collins has proved to be more than worth the wait.
The freshman, who had to wait an extra day to sign his national letter of intent in February after his mother wouldn't sign, leads the Southeastern Conference in rushing with an average of 151.5 yards through two weeks.
Collins' 172-yard effort in a win over Samford last week marked the first time in school history that a freshman has opened his career with back-to-back games of more than 100 yards on the ground.
Collins has had plenty of help in the backfield from sophomore Jonathan Williams, who is third in the SEC with an average of 138.5 yards rushing.
The Razorbacks (2-0) host Southern Mississippi (0-2) on Saturday.

vacation rental description
This historic residence, The Foghorn Station, was a semi-industrial structure built in 1904 by the Department of Marine and Fisheries Canada and operated as a warning signal for marine vessels. It remains as one of the very few original structures of its kind still standing in the country.
It is a shingle or Colonial style of architecture, popular at the turn of the century, housing heavy machinery including air pumps and fog alarm until decommissioned in 1978. The building was then converted to residential use by the station keeper who also operated the two dock area lighthouse. The property was acquired by the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1982 and is an excellent example of adaptive re-use of an industrial building for residential purposes.
After extensive renovations, the Niagara Foundation, stewards of Niagara-on-the-Lake's heritage for almost 50 years, is proud to offer the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience in this true heritage gem.

The council passed a resolution in August stating that the city would pay $140,000, the first of three annual installments, once the county incurred construction costs on the projects.
Attorney Russ Robertson reminded council members that county officials selected ATRIP, which required match money, over another program that did not require a match so the city could receive funding for projects as well.
As a result, the city agreed to share some of the extra expenses.
Walker County received more than $5 million in the final round of ATRIP funding.
Approximately $2.9 million will be used by the city to widen and resurface Viking Drive.
In all, Jasper received more than $11.4 million from ATRIP to use for improvements on Viking Drive, Airport Road, Walston Bridge Road, Ninth Avenue and Old Birmingham Highway.
The county's projects include the restoration of Brown's Bridge and Smith Chapel Bridge.
Robertson said although the county has not yet incurred construction costs, officials are requesting payment to offset other costs not covered by the resolution such as engineering services.
"It's a timing question, not an 'Are we going to pay it?'" question. If we can do this, then we'll be able to get them that first payment and they can proceed with their projects," Robertson said.
Additional installments will be due this November and in November 2015.
Mayor Sonny Posey said the discussions that have occurred between city and county officials over the ATRIP funding, construction of an animal shelter and other issues are signs of a new era in cooperation.
"I think what we've seen evidence of over the past several months are these two entities really beginning to come together and work together, and I think that bodes well for the future," Posey said.

Certainly in the spirit of Halloween, but more appropriate for the long-debated Mayan Apocalypse, the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts this week launched a new website that aims to prepare everyone for dealing with the potential rise of zombies, according to a report in the Metro this week.
The website, SavingZombies.com, provides readers with a count-down to the alleged "apocalypse" that some have suggested on the internet is predicted for Dec. 21 by the ancient Mayans (several resources have debunked the myth on the Internet, such as NASA.com; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meanwhile, has released tongue-in-cheek "zombie warnings," but has also denied the existence of Zombies, according to The Huffington Post).
Moreover, the SavingZombies site provides tips on how to survive potential natural disasters like hurricanes, floods and/or earthquakes. But the added punch is the website also provides tips on how people can survive in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies.
The site also encourages readers to enter a contest by sharing how they would remain among the living:
"The Mayan Calendar end of ages is upon us. Ancient lore predicts 12-21-2012 may mark the beginning of an apocalypse. Will you be prepared? Show us your survival skills by making an American Red Cross Go Bag – a video automatically enters you to win a Red Cross prize."
So, while zombies will undoubtedly be out in full force this Halloween, will you be ready if the real zombies emerge in December? Let us know how you'd prepare for a zombie apocalypse in the comments section below!

Talk about getting off to a great start at a new job. John Silvanus Wilson Jr. was three weeks into his gig as Morehouse College president when he got a call from the White House: President Obama was interested in delivering the 2013 commencement address. Wilson, as one would imagine, was interested in return. (And perhaps not completely surprised; before taking the Morehouse job, he headed a White House initiative on historically black colleges and universities.)
The prospect of having such a big man on campus has fueled excitement about graduation. "We have 10,000 people at our commencement, and this year every one of those 10,000 seats will have to have a ticket," says Elise Durham, Morehouse spokesperson. Obama's Morehouse appearance will mark the first time a sitting U.S. president has delivered a commencement speech in Georgia since FDR's 1938 talk at the University of Georgia's summer ceremony. (In 2011 First Lady Michelle Obama addressed Morehouse's all-female counterpart, Spelman.)
At press time, schools were still finalizing plans, but it will be hard to top Morehouse for star power. Up the road in Athens, UGA grads will hear from the other side of the partisan divide, as Senator Saxby Chambliss (class of 1966) does the honors. At Tech, the tone will be business, not politics, thanks to Southern Company CEO Tom Fanning, who earned bachelor's and master's degrees at the school on North Avenue. A more curious booking is Rita Dove, who will address Emory's class of 2013. Dove is a Pulitzer Prize–winning former U.S. poet laureate. Impressive, but Emory's faculty includes current poet laureate Natasha Trethewey, who has a Pulitzer of her own.

How To Make Pickled Red Onions
Jul 25, 2011 12:31 pm
A quick pickling recipe for the ultimate condiment
There's something really indulgent about homemade condiments. They certainly impress others and with a shelf life longer than leftovers, condiments are a homemade treat that can be enjoyed over time. Even if you've never pickled or preserved a fruit or vegetable in your life, you won't have any problem making these onions. They taste great in salads and are the perfect topping for burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, tacos and even steak fresh off the grill.
Servings: 2 cups
1 large red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon pickling spice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan and add onion slices. Boil for 1 minute and drain. Transfer to a small glass or ceramic bowl.
- Using the same saucepan, bring the apple cider vinegar and spices* just to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately pour over onions, covering them completely.
- Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set aside to cool for about 3 hours. Onions will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator if stored in an airtight container.
*Note: If you can't find pickling spice at your market substitute 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, 4 allspice berries, 1/2 teaspoon dill seed and 4 cloves.

Levelling up
by, 09-27-2009 at 12:57 PM (770 Views)
For those of you who are 100% better than the others (level 2 vs 1):
I have a thing for realism (in case you haven't noticed), which means I like classes, levels, ranks, and alignment to stay out-of-game. The way this translates to levelling up is that to get all the improvements of your new level, you must spend some time training in-game. The guideline is two weeks, but as an example, if you're a divine sage (cloistered cleric), you could reduce that to a week if you studied non-stop in the Great Library in the Temple of Searing Light (Heironeous).
The main thing that training time accomplishes is a gap between one game performance and another - during which any observer could fail to notice incremental improvement (which is generally how people gather skill). The result is a distinct difference in a character's abilities.
Without training time, witnessing a level 1 character one day and a level 2 character the next, it might seem like two different people. The first has heard of the spell Flame of Doom (fireball), the second can cast it, and make it seem like it came from the opposite direction! How'd that happen overnight (along with the other class improvements)?
So here's how to level up without training time: determine the full benefits of levelling up. For each bonus to a roll or score, take 1 per in-game day. E.g. max hit points 8 on Monday, max hit points 9 on Tuesday, 10 on Thursday, etc. For Trained-only skills, you must wait unless you already have ranks in it. Casters can get one new spell of the higher level, as if they've been running gedanken experiments, or their god has granted a wee bit for favor. Feats and class abilities are less clear cut, so run them by me.
I'd like to comfort you by saying your enemies won't improve overnight either, but you're still just as likely to encounter enemies of a higher (or lower) encounter level than you are, regardless of your current level. Sorry! Be careful out there!

Genital - Female Development
The male and female reproductive systems develop initially "indifferently", it is the product of the Y chromosome SRY gene that initially makes the "difference". The paramesonephric (Müllerian Duct) contribute the majority of female internal genital tract, while the mesonephric duct degenerates.
The mesonephric/paramesonephric duct changes are one of the first male/female differences that occur in development, while external genitaila remain indeterminate in appearance for quite a while.
There are many different issues to consider in the development of the genital system. Importantly its sex chromosome dependence, late embryonic/fetal differential development, complex morphogenic changes, long time-course, hormonal sensitivity and hormonal influences make it a system prone to many different abnormalities.

Here's an early look at the final regular-season week's worth of action, with plenty of meaningful games still left to play:
1. We start with game No. 256 of the regular season. It's down to one for the NFC East, Cowboys at Giants, win and in, simple as that. As PFW columnist Mike Beacom points out, Week 17 isn't always great, but there are a number of occasions where it really has mattered. This will be one of them. The Giants are 4-7 in the conference, suffered a four-game losing streak that lingered into December and have been outscored by 23 points this season. But they also have a clutch quarterback in Eli Manning (14 fourth-down TD passes, best in the NFL), a dominant, scheme-wrecking defender (Jason Pierre-Paul) and a head coach (Tom Coughlin) and staff that prepare for big games as well as anyone in the NFL. They might have to find ways to do it without WR Mario Manningham, TE Jake Ballard and DE Osi Umenyiora. But it has been the Giants' method of success in Coughlin's finest seasons: making do with what they have and defying the odds. We'll see if that pattern continues Sunday night on NBC at Met Life Stadium.
2. By all indications, Tony Romo's hand should be fine. He hit it on the top of an Eagles defender's helmet, but X-rays were negative, and every sign points towards Romo playing Sunday night. For the Cowboys, that is great news. Romo was spectacular against the Giants in Week 14, completing passes to eight different receivers, hitting four for TD passes and averaging more than 10 yards per attempt. But what about the rest of the team? It fell flat in the home loss Saturday against the Eagles with a division title for the taking, and there was a strange scene after Romo got hurt. Owner Jerry Jones (who was "scared" of the Eagles coming in) rushed down to have a conversation with head coach Jason Garrett, telling him the way to handle Romo. He was not let back in, and Stephen McGee struggled in the loss. (A quick aside: Could you ever picture John Mara telling Coughlin how to play his cards? OK, end aside.) Felix Jones also was pulled in the game to save his balky hamstring, and his status is up in the air for this contest. The Cowboys come in shaky, banged up (OLG Montrae Holland is out for the season) and — as some have suggested — in need of a win to ensure the safe returns of Romo and Garrett next season. Nothing like a little pressure, eh?
3. Is there concern with the Ravens' offense? Again? The temporary loss of Anquan Boldin has rendered them rather mute in the passing game, as the Ravens failed to reach 300 yards of offense for the game and stalled several times in the second half against the Browns. Lee Evans started in Boldin's place and had zero catches on four passes thrown his way. Now they get the plucky Bengals in a game that matters to both. The Ravens need the win to seal up the AFC North title, and with it would come a first-round bye. The Bengals are in with a win, although some combination of losses or ties from the Jets/Raiders/Broncos also can achieve that end. The good news for the Ravens is that the Bengals are especially adept at allowing teams to throw the ball, and Torrey Smith had 165 receiving yards in the first contest, a 31-24 Ravens win. It was Smith's TD catch in that game in Baltimore that made it a 31-14 Ravens game early in the fourth quarter. Another rookie receiver, Bengals WR A.J. Green, looked hobbled last week and likely will remain gimpy with a shoulder injury. All signs point to less offense in this game than the first meeting.
4. Marvin Lewis has the Bengals' attention. He has coached this team beautifully and has focused his young team's attention to the tasks at hand. Many thought they were dead after losses to the Steelers and Ravens, but this Bengals team has kept in the race and has an excellent chance to get in the playoffs. "We're playing for something special now," Lewis said. "It's all out in front of us." The question now: Are the people in Cincinnati paying attention? Paid attendance Saturday: 41,273. There will be more in the stands on Sunday, sure, as team officials are putting on the full-court press to sell tickets with a buy-one, get-one-free offer. But can the Bengals really count on a home-field advantage? The Ravens are vulnerable away from Baltimore (where they are 8-0), by going 3-4 away from home with losses to four teams that are likely to miss the playoffs. This game was flexed to 4:15 p.m. ET because it has big implications for both teams. You'd hope the atmosphere matches the importance of the game.
5. The Broncos have to be nervous with the way the past two weeks have gone, being outscored 81-37, and invoking memories of the late-season collapses in Denver of 2006, '08 and '09. Teams are sacking Tim Tebow more now and, at least in Buffalo, forcing him into bad throws. Turnovers have been the killer, and the special teams have broken down. And now they have to face their old quarterback, Kyle Orton, with revenge on his mind. When the Chiefs and Broncos faced in Week 10 (the infamous 2-for-8, 69-yard passing game from Tebow), Orton was the Broncos' backup. Now he returns to Denver to show his old team they made a mistake in releasing him and allowing him to go to a division opponent. "I think that it's a little bit more for you than for us," Tebow said of the matchup, meaning the story line means more to the media than the Broncos, apparently.
6. Orton is not just playing to beat the Broncos. He's trying to prove to the Chiefs that he should be a part of their future. It's a fascinating scenario, and you know the Chiefs will come out hard in this game. Romeo Crennel might be just as desperate as Orton. He's trying to prove the same thing; there's nothing meaningless about this game for the Chiefs, and that has to make the Broncos very concerned. "I said all along that at the end of the season a decision was going to be made, and I was going to do the best I could for the three games," Crennel said. "So the first game was a really good game, this game (the loss to the Raiders) wasn't as good, and now I have one more game." Crennel said the best players will play and that this game will not be an audition for young guys with starters resting. This one should be fun.
7. The Chargers might be toast now, but the Raiders remarkably have life. They need help from the Chiefs (see above), but the AFC West remains within Oakland's grasp. Hue Jackson has earned criticism for his team's penchant for penalties, which has led to a wild season. But you have to respect the guy's heart. Following the death of Al Davis, it was a shaky-voiced Jackson who delivered a postgame celebration speech and a eulogy to his team wrapped up in one. And Jackson made sure to invoke the ghost of Davis after his team's emotional overtime win over the Chiefs. "The man told me, 'Hue, we will win it in the end,'" Jackson said. "And I believe that. I don't know how it's going to happen, but I know this much: I truly believe in the guy who was my leader, who told me that before he passed. That's what he told me. He said, 'Hue, we will win in the end.' I've shared that with the football team, and they played like that (Saturday)." And wouldn't it just be like Davis, even in death, to spoil the AFC West party and have his fingerprints all over a Raiders division title? As for the Chargers, based on the stories that are circulating, you have a feeling that this will be the week (and game) before all heck breaks loose. The changes, they are a-comin'.
8. Has Rex Ryan talked this team into the ground? Is Mark Sanchez part of this team's future? Will Brian Schottenheimer be back? And, oh yeah, will the Jets make the playoffs? They play early, which is a good thing. That way, there won't be a lot of scoreboard watching, with only the Titans-Texans game coming early among the games that matter to the Jets' postseason hopes. Ryan admitted after Saturday's loss to the Giants that the plan coming in was not to throw the ball 59 times, but you wonder if the Jets can help themselves in this game. The Dolphins rank third in run defense but 26th versus the pass. There has been a clear disconnect in the holy trinity of Ryan, Sanchez and Schottenheimer, and the plan often goes out the window at some point during games it appears. The Dolphins would love nothing more than to end the Jets' season. It's the beauty of the Week 17 divisional matchups: Rivals get to make each other miserable in the final week of the season. There's also this story line to follow for down the line: Can't you just see both the Jets and Dolphins inquiring about Peyton Manning in the offseason? The Jets have a gutsy GM in Mike Tannenbaum and the Dolphins are bent on winning now. That's the kind of move you could envision each team wanting to explore.
9. The Steelers are playing for one thing: to win the division and the home game that comes with that honor. Ben Roethlisberger could return vs. the Browns after sitting out against the Rams, allowing him to have some action prior to the playoffs whether or not the team has a first-round bye. This game will be happening at the same time as the Ravens-Bengals matchup, so there will be a lot of scoreboard watching and computer refreshing happening around the country, namely in the mid-Atlantic states. The Browns are playing for ... pride? They battled hard against the Ravens and almost pulled it out. Peyton Hillis finished well and appears to be giving himself a little momentum heading into free agency. This is likely his final game as a Brown. But the biggest question is on Colt McCoy. Does he start this game? McCoy's concussion at the hands of Steelers LB James Harrison (one sack in his return to the lineup on Saturday) leaves the QB's status in doubt. And if you read Nolan Nawrocki's "Scouts Eye" column this week, there is scuttlebutt around the NFL that the Browns, armed with a bevy of draft picks, are at least kicking around the idea of trading up to get in position to draft Andrew Luck. McCoy needs all the big games he can put together to convince the team that would be a bad move.
10. The Texans have nothing to play for; they are locked into the three seed. The Titans need about four things to happen to get in. Head coach Mike Munchak is reminding his troops about hope this time of year. He mentioned to his Titans team that the Packers last season needed two wins just to get into the tournament and that as a six seed, Green Bay won it all. "I think that guys like to hear that people have been through similar circumstances and have come out of the other end in a positive way. It still comes down to how you handle the situation," Munchak said. "We talked last week about Green Bay and how they needed to win their last two games last year, plus they needed help. They didn't control their own destiny, and they went on to win about 20 games in a row or so." With a hot Jared Cook and a rising Derrick Morgan, they are receiving a little unexpected help on both sides of the ball. As for the Texans, they appear to be regressing, or at least plateauing. How much can they really gain from this one, short of better execution? Well, the return of Wade Phillips to the office has lifted the team, but you have to think they are saving Andre Johnson for the playoff game in Houston. Smart.
11. Mike McCarthy would like to remind you that there are only 46 active game-day players and that he still plans to play this impactless game against the Lions like it's a normal contest. We'll see. Does Aaron Rodgers need more than three series? Probably not. Against a Lions team that likes to, ahem, play through the whistle (must we bring up Thanksgiving again?), it makes little sense to have No. 12 out there too long, even with the bye-week rest coming up. The Lions, however, actually have a lot to play for in this one, even with the postseason bid clinched. First, they want to earn the No. 5 seed and a win does that; it would ensure a game against the NFC East champs, and that means avoiding a hot Saints team (that beat them down a few weeks back) in Round One. Also, the Lions have not won in Green Bay since 1991. Not that Jim Schwartz needs help in the local polls, but that would be a nice feather in his cap in a season in which the team's 11-year postseason drought has ended. Plus, the Lions are playing their best football the past few weeks and they'll want to keep that up. Plus plus: Schwartz secretly wants to see how his team matches up with the best prior to the playoffs, and until further notice we know who the best is by the records.
12. Knowing Bill Belichick, you can expect him to let Tom Brady let it rip about 75 times in this game, right? Drew Brees might have broken Dan Marino's single-season passing-yardage record Sunday night, but Brady isn't far behind: 190 yards back right now. Plus, Brady and Belichick have a history of sticking it late in the season to the Bills, who have not won in Foxborough since 2000. Remember '03? The Bills shocked the Patriots 31-0 in the Lawyer Milloy Bowl, and the Pats returned the favor in Week 17 with a harmonious 31-0 blanking (that included a goal-line stand in the final seconds with the starters in) of their own. Brady's revenge would come in wanting to make up for the Bills' shocking comeback in Buffalo in Week Three in which he threw four interceptions. The Bills ended their seven-game losing streak Sunday in bashing the Broncos in Buffalo, but this matchup looks foreboding, even with all of the Patriots' offensive line injuries.
13. Knowing Brees can't sit, there's a good chance Sean Payton plays his starting QB for most of this game against the Panthers in what could be a terrific offensive display. You figure Brees needs about 250 yards passsing to feel entirely comfortable about maintaining his record. Cam Newton has defied his doubters on the other sideline and looks to cap off a rookie season for the ages. Steve Smith has a history of torching the Saints, too, and he could end up with one of his finest seasons to date against a secondary that has allowed its fair share of busted coverages. The Panthers come in hot, winners of four of five games, and they will not back down from the steamrolling Saints, not even in New Orleans.
14. The Falcons are left to pick up the pieces of their Monday-night loss to the Saints, likely knowing they could face them again in one week. But first: a matchup with the faded Buccaneers in what could be Raheem Morris' final game as head coach. He says he should not go, but the powers that be might disagree. They have fallen hard, having been dissected by the Cowboys and Panthers the past two weeks and have little to build on in this one. The team appears to have thrown in the towel in a terribly disappointing season. "No question. Bingo. You got me. I can't even talk my way around this one," Morris said. "That is the most frustrating thing for me at this point, but it happens because people go outside the box and try to make plays that are just not there in order to get their football team or basketball team or hockey team to win. You've got to go play within the system and make the plays that technique and opportunity allow you to make. Once you do those things, it's just like the year before." The Falcons likely will hone their no-huddle offense and also get back to power running the ball, especially at a Bucs defense that is thin as heck at defensive tackle. This one smells like a blowout. The Falcons could use some defensive confidence.
15. The 49ers need to win to ensure they get the No. 2 seed, but that seems to be only a matter of showing up against the Rams. The bigger story in this game could come with draft position. Until recently, it appeared the Colts were locks for the No. 1 pick. Now, following wins over the Titans and Texans, the Colts might actually lose the No. 1 pick with a victory over the Jaguars, which would be their third straight. It would mean the Colts pick second if the Rams lose, and it would set up a fascinating story line with Luck, Robert Griffin III and the future of Manning in Indy.

The U.S. Department of Labor National Emergency grant fund will give the state an additional $242,000 to assist with the clean-up of area affected by Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said Tuesday afternoon.
"I'm grateful for the continued support we have received from the Department of Labor," Tomblin said. "This supplemental funding will assist us in continuing to rebuild and restore our hometown while helping to put West Virginians back to work."
The grant will help the affected areas from the superstorm that occurred between Oct. 29 and Nov. 8, 2012.
Last fall, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared 18 West Virginia counties eligible for FEMA's Public Assistance Program following damage caused by heavy snowfall associated with Sandy. In December 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor granted a $300,000 grant to WorkForce West Virginia to create temporary jobs for eligible dislocated workers to assist with the clean-up and recovery efforts as a result.
This additional grant funding serves Barbour, Preston, Tucker, Upshur and Webster counties and will provide for the continuation of employment for eligible dislocated workers as they continue to assist with the repair, renovation and reconstruction of damaged public facilities and lands within the affected communities.
For more information, contact WorkForce West Virginia at 1-800-252-5627.

Mistakes on the lake
By Bill Adair
Published on Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 6:36 p.m.
Sen. Hillary Clinton had challenged Sen. Barack Obama to duke it out in Cleveland ("Meet me in Ohio!"), and the result was a lively debate, particularly if you're interested in the details of trade policy and universal (or not universal) health care.
The candidates spent the first 20 minutes arguing about Obama's fliers, which had attacked Clinton on health care and the North American Free Trade Agreement. That was followed by a spirited back-and-forth on Iraq, energy, terrorism and whether Obama had denounced and rejected Louis Farrakhan's support. (He had only denounced, but at Clinton's request, he also rejected it).
We previously addressed the argument over NAFTA. We found Obama was wrong to say that Clinton called NAFTA a "boon" to the economy but was correct that Clinton had changed her tune on the trade agreement.
Here are some claims that we checked from the debate:
• Clinton was right that Obama hasn't held substantive hearings as chairman of the European Affairs Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, so we gave her a True.
• Obama, defending one of his campaign fliers, said Clinton's health plan "forces" people to buy health insurance. We find that's misleading and rate it Half True.
• Clinton took a line from Sen. John McCain and President Bush with her claim that Obama "basically threatened to bomb Pakistan," which is nearly identical to recent comments by McCain and Bush. She is distorting Obama's remarks just as they did and we give her a Pants on Fire.
• We found Clinton took Obama's comments out of context when she contended that he said in 2004 "that he basically agreed with the way George Bush was conducting the war." We rated that Half True.
• Finally, Clinton was right that she has most often been asked the first questions in recent debates. We rated that True, although we're not sure that it's the disadvantage she makes it out to be.
And a final note: Much of the debate involved the question of just how similar, or different, the Clinton and Obama Senate voting records are. We've done a Fact Sheet comparing their records, and find they are nearly identical. Read the Fact Sheet here.

A river is a system comprising both the main course and all the tributaries that feed into it; the area that the river system drains is known as the catchment. The main characteristic of rivers is their continuous one-way flow in response to gravity.
Due to variations in physical conditions, such as slope and bedrock geology, rivers are dynamic and may change form several times throughout their course. For example, a fast-flowing mountain stream may develop into a wide, deep and slow-flowing lowland river.
When assessing river characteristics and water quality, it is important to bear in mind that a river comprises not only a main course but also a vast number of tributaries. For example, the main course of Europe's largest river, the Volga, is 3 500 km long. In addition, it receives water from ten tributaries of over 500 km in length and more than 151 000 tributaries of over 10 km in length.

20 Independent Filmmaking Pointers from SXSW
If you're like me, you probably weren't at this year's SXSW festival — but through the magic of the internets we can still reap some of the knowledge shared there. Filmmaker Magazine's blog covered two filmmaking related panels, "The Great Cinematography Shootout" and "Making it Happen: Financing an Independent Film", and boiled each down to 10 ponderable tips. The first panel looks at how cinematographers handle low budget constraints while the second provides insight into what independent producers face while putting films together:
Many of the cinematography tips apply regardless of the budget, but I found this one particularly pertinent:
4. Location, location, location. "If you don't have a budget for lighting, the most important thing is to make sure you don't wind up in a location you can't make look good," advised Lipes. Raval, who shot Sunset Stories with a lighting kit consisting of three lights and two gels, said he looked for colorful locations with ambient light. "The Canon 5D allows for a lot of available lighting," he said.
Finding a location that is inherently cinematic and naturally lit in an interesting way is half the battle for most no-budget filmmakers. It's like visual casting — if you can find the right place to shoot, half of your worries are taken care of. In fact, the right location will inspire its own story, its own characters and mood — I always find myself looking at buildings, and other random spaces and wondering: what kind of story might take place here?
For the second panel, a lot of the financing/producing tips are for folks in the "more than a few hundred thousand dollars budget" range, but I did find this tip pretty interesting:
2. Think about the ticket-buyer. "[Make] smart genre, what I call 'elevated popcorn,'" said Dion. "That's what I tell independent filmmakers. I like relationship dramas and small road-trip movies too, but try to make movies people will pay to go and see. Think of [your movie] as a campfire story where [the audience] always asks, 'What's going to happen next?' and with a vision that elevates it above the rest."
I think this tip only tells half the story — I have had people tell me some fascinating stories that involved nothing more than a strange encounter at a cash register, or moving out of their girlfriend's place. If you're a good storyteller you can keep a campfire audience mesmerized with a relationship story. But I think what the producer is really saying is that it's a lot easier to get people to come out of their tents and gather around the campfire if you promise a story full of danger, laughs or scares or any of the other genre tropes that immediately sell us on wanting to check a story out. Let's be honest, it's easier to cold sell your friends on hearing a scary story than one about your relationship with your dad — even if the latter may be richer and far more rewarding in the end. The trick is to mix the "come out of your tent" excitement with the richness of a heartfelt story. Next time you're thinking about how to describe the story you're working on, think about what kind of pitch would get a stranger to come out into the night and sit for half an hour listening to you.
For the full tips, follow the links below. Do any of the other tips strike you? What kind of story would get you to come out of the tent and sit around a campfire?
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Giora on 03.16.12 @ 6:52PM
Hey Koo are you still here on Nofilmschool, not tying to be rude but you seemed to dissappear after we founden manchild… :(
Andy Smith on 03.16.12 @ 8:15PM
I imagine he's concentrating on making Manchild
maghoxfr on 03.17.12 @ 12:11PM
I guess that you wrote your answer yourself. Why would doners give away their money? For Koo to keep posting or Koo to shot his film?
Philip on 03.16.12 @ 7:49PM
Great pointers. 2 especially. Film is a way of expressing ideas but at the same time, in my opinion, one can't take that notion too seriously. If we go back in history, it started as a way of providing entertainment. Film has always been about fun, magical moments, and great memories. Love Hitchcock's view towards film. He said, "For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake."
We all miss koo but these two are growing on me and loved this post. Keep it up.
carlos on 03.16.12 @ 10:06PM
+1, I thought bringing new writers was going to kill this site for me, but now we still have Koo posting but also much more content the new writers are doing a great job ! keep up the good work
I'm here. :)
I took 10 days off to focus on writing the next draft of Man-child:
… it's time to get this movie made!
But I will always be around as an editor, even if the byline isn't mine.
Joe and E.M. are doing a great job!
Chris on 03.17.12 @ 4:22PM
glad you are still around! ;)
wish you all the best with your next draft, Koo!
sammy on 03.17.12 @ 5:20PM
Yeah…the articles are good..actually have gotten better if anything.
But the 10 FINANCING/PRODUCING TIPS link does NOT work. Thank you.
E.M. Taboada on 03.17.12 @ 5:57PM
Whoops! Fixed, thanks for pointing that out.
sammy on 03.17.12 @ 6:00PM
Thanks…now we can all get some $$$…
A screenplay is never done, it changes as you do.
The best way to see what you want is to shoot it quickly on something cheap like a DV tape, find a heartbeat in the material and figure out what is you're lacking or what it is that your characters want. If the content is strong it doesn't matter what you shoot on and vice versa. The camera never lies it's true. If you've spent a solid two years on a script it's time for you to see what it looks like in the can, even if it's a really cheap can. You'll learn stuff about your characters and you'll learn stuff about yourself that you never could have noticed while you were sitting behind a laptop. You're afraid that it's not perfect, that's okay, nothing is.
This isn't just to Koo because I've no idea how much time he's spent on the script or if he's shot any of it yet. Knowing him, he probably does have a 5D/7D version in the can already.
I'm glad to share what I've found out over the years to NoFilmSchool and look forward to seeing Man Child whether it debuts on the web or in theaters, hopefully both.

The difference, however, may not be evident right away. Graduates could see their compensation grow exponentially as the years pass. While the immediate benefit of a college degree seems nonexistent, the big payoff is typically seen over the course of a long career, the company says.
"TheLadders' study proves that an undergraduate degree is beneficial and promotes growth over time during any career," said Amanda Augustine, job search expert for TheLadders. "If you're wondering whether to go back and finish your four-year degree, this new information encourages you to take the plunge."
Paying for college
First, however, you should figure out how you are going to pay for it. In early 2013 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) estimated the outstanding student loan total in the U.S. exceeded $1 trillion. In a more recent report, the CFPB said over seven million borrowers were in default on federal or private student loans.
The lesson here is to not get over-extended. Know what your costs are going to be, where the money will come from, and if you have to pay it back, how you'll do it.
Finally, there should be a compelling reason to go to college, whether you are going right out of high school or returning after a few years in the military or work force. What are you going to study and how is that going to help you advance in a career?
Without good answers to those questions, experts say you may in fact be wasting money. The job market has changed and doesn't have a rewarding job waiting for everyone who gets a college degree.
