The space devoted to food & beverages at Waterstone's flagship premises has expanded over the years. Now, the entire top floor is one big all-day grazing opportunity. The actual 'view' may be nothing to write home about, but the bar's cocktails are: try Champagne gaiety girl, Moulin Rouge or Dusty Springfield – a 'sultry, fruity, sour & tortured' tribute to Britain's late, great soul singer made with her beloved vodka. The food served at a grand zinc bar reprises Anglo-Med classics & seafood, backed by a decent range of wines & beers including Black Sheep Ale & Estrella Damm. Given the downloading excesses of 'generation Kindle', can we ultimately expect the whole building to end up as a food court, with only Richard & Judy's recommendations on the lone remaining bookshelf?

If you thought it was cold at your house Wednesday morning, just be glad you weren't at the top of Mount Washington.
The Observatory posted a photo just after 7 a.m. Wednesday, showing air temperatures of negative 35 degrees outside. They said it was the coldest temperature one of their observers had ever seen, though not a record. The record is 47 below, set back in 1934.
But Wednesday, wind gusts around 60 mph made it feel like 83 degrees below zero.

Our victim was minding his own business, waiting for his next customer at the Dallas Road Kangaroo convenience store when the two crooks burst in, armed, and looking for trouble. "Gimme all the money, right now! Open the register, right now," one can be heard yelling on surveillance video. "Get all the money, bro. Get all the money, bro!"
It was a terrifying scene at the North Chattanooga store... just south of Normal Park Upper School in North Chattanooga. The bad guys were seen and heard on camera. They appear to be two black males, 18 to 25 years old, small in stature, 5'6' to 6' tall. One pointed a gun and continued to bark their demands. "Open the other register," he said. "Open it! Hurry up. Right now, bro, or I'll shoot!"
It was a quick operation taking less than a minute. All the clerk could do was comply, then lock up and call police. "Definitely, these two have done something like this before," said Chattanooga Police Sergeant Daniel Jones. "We need to catch these guys as soon as possible, just because they're probably gonna do another one."
Even with the audio, video, and still pictures, this week, these two did not make it easy. "Both of these guys actually had T-shirts wrapped around their heads," explained Jones. "So, it wasn't something where someone could actually see exactly who these guys were."
This time we will have to use other clues. And remember, up to a thousand dollars reward cash is waiting for the right piece of information that leads police to this duo and you can leave your tip anonymously. "So, if anybody has, recognizes these two guys," Sgt. Jones explained, "even the clothes they're wearing, the way they're standing, the way they run in, the way they run out, any one of these things, they need to call Crime Stoppers and call us as soon as possible so we can go ahead and get these guys into custody."
Now we need your help. Do you know anything about this crime or these criminals? Help get them off the street before they decide to fire their gun. Call Crime Stoppers: 698-3333
Remember, an officer may answer the phone, but he will never ask your identity.

A pink haze is settling in as October gets underway. Long known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it's 30 days to really hammer home the message of cancer prevention.
Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. Twelve percent of U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. That's 1 in 8 women.
Don't just gloss over that statistic. Stop and think about. Make a list of eight women in your life: your mother, your sister, your aunt, your daughter, your best friend, the woman you share a cubicle with, your best shopping partner, you. One of those women is likely to develop breast cancer.
In 2013, the American Cancer Society estimates about 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
And that's not counting the non-invasive. Throw in carcinoma in situ, known as CIS and is the earliest form of breast cancer, and you have another 64,640 new cases.
And the really sad news, about 39,620 women will die from breast cancer this year.
But, there is good news. After increasing for more than 2 decades, female breast cancer rates began dropping in 2000. From 2002 to 2003, rates dropped by about 7 percent.
That dip was due in part to a decline in the use of hormone therapy after menopause. This is where the research has paid off. A Women's Health Initiative study, published in 2002, linked hormone therapy with an increased risk of breast cancer and heart diseases.
There's more good news.
Death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1989. The largest decrease was in women younger than 50, thanks to early detection from screening, improved treatment, and increased awareness.
Clearly, this is a disease that can be beaten. There are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. And throughout the month of October, every Tuesday, we'll share the story of a survivor who you call a neighbor.
We want you read their stories and know there's hope for tomorrow. Hope that we truly are winning the battle against breast cancer.
THE ISSUE Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins today. OUR VIEW

His physique is intimidating and Hulk-like. His play on the field even more so.
But has Colts safety LaRon Landry built himself on being a physical monster?
Now that the Indianapolis Colts rookie camp has wrapped up, second-year head coach Chuck Pagano is now setting his sights on the team's organized team activities practices which are set to begin in two weeks.
With the possible exception of adding a few lesser priced players coming on board, the Indianapolis Colts' big-time foray into the veteran free agent marketplace is pretty much done.
After adding five veteran free agent players to the Indianapolis Colts roster on Tuesday, general manager Ryan Grigson plucked two more plums late Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon.
A week ago, Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano said that it was a priority that the team retain the services of punter Pat McAfee.
Back and ready to go.
It didn't take the Indianapolis Colts much time to find a replacement for former vice-president of football operations Tom Telesco, who was named as the San Diego Chargers' new general manager last week.
Colts officials announced Monday that former Chargers director of player personnel Jimmy Raye had accepted an offer to take over Telesco's old position with the team.
Moving on. That's the immediate plans for the Indianapolis Colts as they head into the off season.
Indianapolis saw the 2012 season come to an end with a 24-9 AFC wild-card playoff loss to Baltimore Sunday.
In the minutes after last Sunday's win over AFC South champion Houston, Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano marveled at how the 2012 season has progessed for his team.
A relatively new coaching staff and a re-tooled roster, a team that has been forced to rely on it's rookie draft class for most of the year to carry most of the weight, and yet here are the Colts heading into the AFC playoffs with an 11-5 record.
The game -- Indianapolis Colts (11-5, 342 AFC South) at Baltimore Ravens (10-6, 4-2 AFC North), 1 p.m. (ET), M&T Bank Stadium (FieldTurf), Baltimore, MD, AFC Wild-Card Game.
Coverage -- CBS Sports (Jim Nantz, Phil Sims); Colts Radio Network (Bob Lamey, Will Wolford, Kevin Lee); Sirius NFL Radio (Channel 88, Dial Global Radio; Channel 92, Colts; Channel 86, Ravens); XM NFL Radio (Channel 88, Dial Global Radio; Channel 225, Colts; Channel 226, Ravens); Dial Global Radio (Ian Eagles, Trent Green, Laura Okmin).

Springfield – Hockey fans got to take pictures with the Stanley Cup Monday morning in Springfield.
This is the second time the cup has been to the Capitol City in four seasons. 2013 NHL Blackhawks Chairman, Rocky Wirtz says it's a treat to see all the fans. "Fans have been terrific. When you realize you have fans south of I-80 it's nice to come down to the state capital. Last time we went over to the governor's mansion so this is great. It's a great treat.
The cup flew into Springfield's Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, and then went to a couple private events.

Federal Official Praises Range of Expertise in Climate Initiative
Kathryn Sullivan and President John Broderick
Kathryn Sullivan, an assistant secretary of commerce and deputy administrator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), told an Old Dominion forum audience on June 7 that she is "tremendously impressed by the fusion of expertise" brought together by the university's Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative (CCSLRI).
The multidisciplinary initiative, which was launched 18 months ago, has recruited researchers from all six of the university's academic colleges to explore means to help coastal metropolises build consensus and take action to mitigate economic and social damage expected from sea level rise. Because southeastern Virginia is being hit by the double whammy of rising waters and sinking land, the Norfolk area has been identified by the federal government as especially vulnerable to serious flooding during the century.
In introductory remarks, ODU President John Broderick said he started the initiative because of concerns about the effect sea level rise is predicted to have on the local region, and, notably, on the ODU campus, which sits between two rivers.
Sullivan said she was aware that ODU had begun the initiative by promoting research projects in areas such as theater arts, STEM education, social sciences and human factors psychology. This has been in addition to more conventional contributions from oceanographers and engineers. "To bring all of this together at the beginning, this has tremendous promise to bring fresh insight. I am impressed by your array of talents," she said.
Well known as a former astronaut, Sullivan was appointed a year ago by President Obama as assistant secretary of commerce for environmental observation and prediction and deputy administrator for NOAA. An oceanographer, she also serves as NOAA's acting chief scientist.
As assistant secretary, Sullivan plays a central role in directing work in the areas of weather and water services, climate science and services, integrated mapping services and Earth-observing capabilities. She provides agency-wide direction with regard to satellites, space weather, water and ocean observations, and forecasts to best serve American communities and businesses.
Her appearance at the ODU forum was in conjunction with a public lecture the evening of June 7 at a Blue Planet Forum at Nauticus in downtown Norfolk (www.cbf.org/blueplanet).
The morning forum and a luncheon on the ODU campus were designed to allow discussions amongst Sullivan and ODU faculty members and students who are conducting research pertaining to the CCSLRI.
Larry Atkinson, the ODU Slover Professor of Oceanography who leads the CCSLRI, directed the forum discussion, in which Sullivan was an active participant. She took notes during the presentations of ODU researchers and had questions, insights and suggestions for each presenter. She said the federal agencies responsible for reacting to climate change and sea level rise are interested in a multidisciplinary approach to the challenge similar to the one chosen by ODU.
Sullivan's visit to Norfolk also included an afternoon tour of sites prone to flooding, led by Skip Stiles, executive director of the environmental organization Wetlands Watch.
ODU presentations at the campus forum were:
• "Human Dimensions in Public Engagement and Support for Environmental Resiliency Policies" by Poornima Madhavan (psychology), Maura Hametz (history), Leona Tam (marketing) and Cynthia Tomovic (STEM education)
• "Scientific Awareness Through Theatre: Inspiring Young People to Value Scientific Practice as We Adapt to Sea Level Rise and Climate Change" by Jenifer Alonzo (communication and theatre arts), Victoria Hill and Fred Dobbs (ocean, earth and atmospheric sciences) and Amy Adcock (STEM education)
• "College of Engineering Outreach" by David Pezza (civil and environmental engineering)
• "Quantifying Risk and Resilience to Prioritize Flooding Mitigation Projects in Urban Coastal Environments" by David Basco (coastal engineering).

If you have any unique, hand-made furniture, you know how beautiful woodwork can be. When you'd like to tackle such a project for yourself, you need to have the right knowledge in place to be able to find success. This article provides you with some tried and tested tricks for your next project.
You can make your own reusable sanding blocks. Make a list of each sandpaper grit that you typically use, and then cut a full six blocks for each from scrap plywood, 3/4″ thick. Be certain they measure 2.5 inches across by 4.75 inches long. Apply spray adhesive to each of the tile squares and the blocks themselves. Stick a single block onto the cork and make sure you're cutting the cork in a flush way using your utility knife. Put adhesive on the sandpaper sheet and then apply it to the cork blocks face down. Now cut the sandpaper flush with the cork, and label each block.
The reason why many power tools have guards on them is to keep you safe. Never remove the guards off of any of your tools. You may not understand why they are there, but they are there for a reason. They are there to protect you from sharp blades, moving parts and other things that could potentially hurt you. Continue reading

Men charged with shop robbery
Three men are due before Chippenham magistrates, charged in connection with a raid on a jeweller's shop in Marlborough in Wiltshire.
It happened at Deacon & Sons in the High Street on Tuesday morning. Men smashed display cabinets and grabbed jewellery.
20-year-old Lynton Summerfield and Marcus Cohen and Paul Gallimore, both 33, who are all from the Coventry area have been charged with robbery.

Since that Saturday, Dickson – who sprained his right shoulder while catching a 9-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Joe Flacco in the second quarter of an eventual 31-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 9 – and Pitta – who broke a bone in his right hand during practice July 30 – have increasingly raised their level of participation in practice.
"I think being able to get out there and run around and actually catch the ball a little bit certainly helps my confidence and helps me understand that I'll be back playing soon enough," he said. "But we're going to be smart with it and just take it one day at a time."
Although Dickson, who ranked second on the team in touchdown catches (five) and third in receptions (54) last year, and Pitta, who ranked fifth in both catches (40) and receiving yards (405), did not play in Thursday night's preseason finale against the St. Louis Rams, the duo is getting closer to being available for the season opener.
Asked if he was becoming confident of the progress that Dickson and Pitta are making, coach John Harbaugh said, "Yeah, and we'll know a lot more on Monday, Wednesday and even especially Thursday when we pad it up a little bit. But they seem to be ahead of schedule, both those guys."

World of Tanks and the Free-to-Play Console War

How PC successes like World of Tanks are teaching Microsoft how to grow their console business
This is a great story about a company that has already seen a massive amount of success on the PC trying to "teach" Microsoft how to replicate that success on a console. Microsoft has a history of policies that can be hard on developers, but then bending those policies for the giant games, such as Minecraft.
Minecraft, by the way, was a massive success on the Xbox 360. Sometimes bending the rules, if not outright breaking them, is a very good thing.
So if it takes games as big as World of Tanks to convince Microsoft that frequent updates, new content, and even free-to-play are good things for the console market... that's a good thing for everyone. If these games continue to do well, even if the developers of them have to pull Microsoft kicking and screaming into the future, hopefully that tolerance for bent rules and a more open atmosphere will extend to smaller developers.
These are basic concepts in the PC market, but they're brand new to consoles. It's fascinating to see how much success a game has to see before Microsoft is willing to begin to experiment while bringing that game to their platform.

Criminal Justice
Wrongfully convicted inmate's quest for compensation is derailed by Detroit bankruptcy
Posted Dec 13, 2013 3:01 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A Michigan man seeking $5 million for spending 10 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit is encountering more bad luck as a result of Detroit's bankruptcy.
Dwayne Provience's case "was inches from being settled for $5 million," says his lawyer, Wolfgang Mueller, but now he will have the same rights as other unsecured creditors, likely to obtain just pennies on the dollar. Slate has an article about his plight, written by Imran Syed, a clinical fellow at the Michigan Innocence project who helped free Provience from prison.
Provience was convicted of murdering a drug dealer based on the testimony of a homeless man who was facing possible prison time as a repeat offender after an arrest for breaking and entering, the story says. The homeless man pinned the blame on Provience and had his own charges dismissed.
Though the homeless "witness" described a different car for the shooter than identified by other witnesses, Provience was convicted. His lawyer didn't call any of the other witnesses; the lawyer later had his license revoked, the story says. The homeless man recanted when Syed's students tracked him down.
Records in the case file also showed that police had suspected two drug bosses in the murder—a theory also advanced by prosecutors in a separate trial for the later murder of one of the drug dealer's friends. Prosecutors claimed the drug bosses had solicited the later murder to prevent the friend from naming the drug bosses as the real killers in the murder for which Provience was tried and convicted.

When Meg River's young children called for a sweet treat she was reluctant to give them commercial bakes made with artificial flavours, preservatives and colours. So she started to bake her own wholesome cakes, traybakes and cookies using good-quality ingredients. Word spread about just how good these treats were and her friends started to place orders. When she got her first order for a cake to ship to Africa she decided to turn her hobby into a mail-order business and Meg Rivers Artisan Bakery was born.
Try this recipe for gorgeous Meg Rivers meringues
Crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, meringues are so versatile. Their sweet simplicity of flavour combines particularly well with fresh fruit. Make them into nests and top with whipped cream and berries for a delicious dessert, or sandwich shells together for a tasty teatime treat.
3 egg whites
1⁄2 teaspoon white vinegar
1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
180g/1 cup caster/
superfine sugar
to serve
600 ml/21⁄2 cups whipping cream
30 g/3 tablespoons caster/superfine sugar
fresh fruit of choice
2 baking sheets lined with non-stick baking parchment
Makes about 20
Preheat oven to 110˚C (225˚F) Gas 1⁄4.
Put the egg whites, vinegar and vanilla into a large, clean, grease-free bowl and whisk on high speed with an electric hand whisk until it has doubled in volume and stiff peaks are formed. Add about a third of the sugar and beat on high speed for 5 minutes until all the sugar is dissolved. Repeat this process, adding the sugar a third at a time and beating for 5 minutes between each addition. The mixture should become stiff.
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets to form mounds of the desired size. Make a dip in each one with the spoon to form a nest shape. Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for about 60–80 minutes or until they sound crispy and hollow when tapped underneath. Turn off the oven and leave them to cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To serve, whip the cream and sugar with an electric hand whisk until soft peaks are formed. Serve the meringue nests topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit of your choice.
The meringues will keep for 14 days in an airtight container, or can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Dodge had a problem. They were a day late and a dollar short. Late, because Chevy was already out of the gate with the dressy, upscale Cameo Carrier pickup (and Ford was soon to follow, with their half car/half truck Ranchero). Short, because there wasn't enough money on hand for anything more than a modest makeover.
Wrapping something old in something new is a time-honored practice for marketing. That's certainly true for automakers, where the economics of manufacturing simply don't allow for all new products, every year. True now, true then, and the lineup that Chrysler rolled out fifty years ago was a case in point. The chiseled, conservative styling for 1963 was new, courtesy of designer Elwood Engel. Beneath the skin, though, the cars were largely unchanged from 1962. However, Chrysler showed uncommon confidence in the carry-over. At a time when extended warranties were largely unheard of, the company announced a five year/50,000 mile plan for their 1963 models, and in the process, caught the competition napping.Read More
I'm happy to announce that my Classic Car blog on Timesunion.com won the Best of Internet award at the International Automotive Media Awards this year.
No car was later to the pony car party than Dodge's Challenger. As a result, none had a shorter time to shine before the lights were turned out.
The Impala name is so synonymous with Chevy in the 60's that you'd assume that the marque had been in the lineup for decades. Not so.
The Continental was the brainchild of Edsel Ford. Edsel, the only son of Henry Ford, succeeded his famous father as company president – a position that he had held from 1919-1943. Where Ford the elder left his imprint on almost everything in the company that bore his name, Ford the younger made his mark mainly in areas of style.

Farah ready for toughest challenge
8:21am Saturday 1st February 2014 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Mo Farah believes this year's London Marathon will prove tougher than the Olympics.
The 30-year-old, who claimed double gold in 5,000 and 10,000m in the 2012 Games, is preparing for his first ever marathon at the famous event in April.
Farah has been training in the Rift Valley in Kenya and has increased his already intense schedule from the routine he used in the run-up to the Olympics.
He told the Guardian: "It's hard but I have to do it. It's London. I could easily sit back and say I'm going to stay at home and train but I need to come out here to give it 110 per cent because I've never seen a stronger marathon field, from the world record holder to guys who are running two hours five, two hours four consistently.
"It's going to be a lot harder than my Olympics or world championship races."

The average American spends about 8 hours sitting at their desks, but three University of Chicago graduates are trying find an answer to the sitting epidemic by getting you fit while you sit.
The device is called 'Cubii.' it's an under the desk elliptical trainer that helps you burn calories and get your blood flowing while you work.
"We realize that there's nothing designed for the office. I've used it while I was wearing dresses and I'm wearing heels right now," said Shivani Jain, CMO of Fitness Cubed.
It's the brainchild of three friends who were students at the University of Chicago.
Arnav Dalmia, the CEO of Fitness Cubed, said that he came up with the idea because he couldn't afford a treadmill desk and his company wouldn't let him change the furniture in his office.
"The purpose of this is to keep you active while you're in the office. In no way is it trying to replace your gym time or your exercise time. Even if you go to the gym for 30 minutes a day, but if you're sitting inactive for long periods of time, it's still unhealthy to you so that's what we're trying to change," Dalmia said.
Jennifer Ventrelle is a certified personal trainer at the Rush University Prevention Center. She said that there's no harm in using the product, but she prefers for people to get up from their chairs and get moving.
"People said things like I don't have time to leave my desk, I'm way too busy, but you also have to think about you're clarity and level of productivity when you're sitting there typing all day strapped to your desk," said Ventrelle.
The company said that you can burn up to 120 calories an hour depending on your speed and resistance, but on top of that, it could help your mind be more productive as well.
"It helps you work better. It's an outlet that helps you focus when you're working," Dalmia said.
In just 3 weeks, Fitness Cubed has raised $60,000 from pre-orders world-wide. They said anyone can benefit.
"Something we noticed was not just young people. Different age groups, a lot of older people who felt like their movement was restricted, because of knee problems also expressed interest," Jain added.Cubii costs about $350.For more information, visit the website for Cubii.

A team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) is scheduled to examine all aspects of the Carroll County policy and procedures, management, operations and support services, according to the Sheriff's Office website.
The assessors will work to verify that the Carroll County Sheriff's Office meets the Commission's standards. This is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation.
As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session on Monday, April 16 at 7 p.m. The session will be conducted in the public hearing room at the Carroll County government office building, 225 N. Center Street.
Those who would like to comment but cannot attend the meeting can call the CALEA assessment team directly at 410-386-2600 on Monday, April 16 between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session will be limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency's ability to comply with CALEA standards. A copy of the standards is available at the Sheriff's office or by contacting Corporal Jon Light at 410-386-2732.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office received accreditation from CALEA in July 2006. Law Enforcement Accreditation Status is granted for three years, during which accredited agencies must submit annual reports proving continued compliance with the standards under which it was accredited.
The assessors are Chief Deputy Patricia Garrison from Charleston County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina and Commander Greg Jones from the Lexington Division of Police in Kentucky. Once the review of the sheriff's office is complete, a report will be sent to the full commission, who will then determine if the Carroll County Sheriff's Office is to be granted accredited status.
This information was taken from a news release, posted on the Carroll County Sheriff website.

Happy 4th of July! What a great stretch of weather we've had and the forecasters say we're in for several more days of sunny, hot conditions. Well have no fear the Inn On Golden Pond offers air conditioning in all our guest rooms so you can expect to have a cool time during your visit with us.
This weekend featured several fireworks displays in central NH. On Saturday both Sandwich and Ashland set them off and on the 4th itself Center Harbor and Meredith held their displays. We've always enjoyed the fireworks in Center Harbor, sitting on the lawn by the town library and viewing the spectacular show as they burst out over the bay on Lake Winnipesaukee. Of course, there's a concert at the town gazebo preceding the fireworks and the local scouts are selling food and drink. Kind of takes you back in time.
Squam Lake has been very active this weekend as boaters officially kicked off the summer season. This is truly a great time to be in the lakes region of New Hampshire. Although it's not all about the lakes. Several of our guests decided to take a journey north yesterday driving up to the top of Mt. Washington - two of them on motorcycles. The peak of the mountain is certainly one place to beat the summer heat, in fact last Thursday they had snow at the top!
So make your plans now to visit our Squam Lake bed and breakfast. A few days of relaxation and an opportunity to enjoy Squam Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee or the White Mountains sure is an attractive combination.

Battling Voldemort, 101Education
In the past, we've told you about the rise in popularity of collegiate level course on the Harry Potter Series. Tonight, MTV has a new piece online, focusing on the classes being taught at Swarthmore College. In particular, one class "Battling Against Voldemort" is proving so popular, the article note that "a lottery determines who gets one of the 12 seats." Students who enroll in the classes have read the series at least once, and the course is hoping to teach the students to read the books with a different perspective.
MTV reports that "They analyze each book, looking at themes and metaphors, reading up on scholarly perspectives, going over Jungian archetypes. For a discussion of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," they were guided by a critical essay by Veronica Schanoes, called "Cruel Heroes and Treacherous Texts," to explore the ambiguities in the constructions of good and evil and the unreliable narratives of Harry's world. It made students understand that even Harry himself can be an unreliable narrator. "
There are also deeper and mature discussions, such as the Professor's explanation on what fate awaited Umbridge after she was carried away by the Centaurs at the end of Order of the Phoenix, as well as the moral and ethical issues in using an Unforgivable curse as highlighted in the following exchange:
"Haven't we been led to believe that the difference between Death Eaters and those who are not is the use of the Unforgivable Curses?" Finberg asked the class when the discussion turned to Harry's usage of the torturing Cruciatus curse."He uses it on Bellatrix; he uses it on Carrow," Hannah Edelman observed. "He also uses the [controlling] Imperius curse." "He is just really upset when he uses that curse on Bellatrix," Matlock said. "I don't think that means he's a bad person. It just means he's more human.""Do you think J.K. Rowling is playing with us?" Matt Bowers asked. "Do you think she's telling us, 'Look, you thought Harry was a good guy, but what if this were from the point of view of Draco?' "But Harry would never use [the killing curse] Avada Kedavra," Soares argued. "This is really dorky, but a hero, like Superman would never kill Lex Luther." The class laughed."
You can see the video report of this at this link, as well as view it on MTV2, and MTVu at the following times tomorrow:MTV2 Fri 9/26- 7:30am Fri 9/26- 12:45am, 2:45am, 4:45am, 6:45am, 8:45am, 10:45am, 12:45pm, 2:45pm, 4:45pm, 6:45pm

Join the live webcast! "Birth to Grandmotherhood: Childrearing in Human Evolution"
This symposium will take a broad view of the importance of child-rearing in human evolution. From the moment of birth, human infants require an inordinate amount of care and, unlike our nearest living relatives, remain dependent on a variety of caretakers during an unusually long maturation period followed by extraordinary adult longevity. How did such a distinctive pattern of development evolve and what other human features are linked to it? This conference will take a comparative perspective and consider neuroendocrine factors, energetics, life-history trade-offs and consequences for culture.

A Network Structure of ROSCAs (Rotating Savings and Credit Associations) : ERGMs (Exponential Random Graph Models) Applied to a Leaders' Network in Rural Uzbekistan
AbstractThis paper empirically analyzes a network structure created by the ROSCAs (Rotating Savings and Credit Associations) related to a leaders' network in rural Uzbekistan. The estimation methodology is based on the recent development of ERGMs (Exponential Random Graph Models) whose approximate maximum likelihood estimators are produced by MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) algorithms. The paper reveals the tendencies of the transitive triad structure of the network that can facilitate the tracking of defecting members.

– PC Vince Maltby, North Yorkshire Police

CATEGORIES Documentary, Distribution, HBO Films, Cinematical Indie, War, Movies, CinematicalI was just re-watching Eugene Jarecki's terrific documentary Why We Fight the other day and wondering, "man, how did this not win an Oscar?" Both its ineligibility and the strength of the 2006 feature documentary category aside, it's a really great visual essay on the problems of the U.S. military -- particularly the allowance for the military industrial complex to grow so large -- since the mid-20th century. If you've never seen it, you should. It'll bring you up to speed right up to the Iraq War (and feel free to make it an informative double feature by following it up with Charles Ferguson's No End in Sight).
For his next feature, Jarecki is sticking to the subject of war, though he's going back and focusing on Vietnam, specifically the evacuation of U.S. troops from Saigon in 1975 (maybe it can parallel an exit from Iraq? huh? maybe?). He and screenwriter Jesse Wigutow (It Runs in the Family) are basing the doc, titled Irreparable Harm, on former CIA agent Frank Snepp's book "Irreparable Harm: A Firsthand Account of How One Agent Took on the CIA in an Epic Battle Over Free Speech," which details the author's struggle with the federal government after he published his Saigon evacuation document, "Decent Interval."
Jarecki's film, which is being produced for HBO Films, will be more about Snepp than on the history, and hopefully that won't get him in trouble with the feds too. Also, here's hoping that Irreparable Harm at least makes Jarecki eligible to be nominated for the Oscar he deserves.
