Strike could disrupt London Midland services from tonight
Updated 3:47pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Ian Craig
LONDON Midland train services could be disrupted as supervisors go on strike from 10pm this evening.
Duty train crew managers at Worcester, Birmingham, Bletchley and Crewe will down tools for 48 hours until 10pm on Saturday evening in a row over a proposed shorter working week.
Assistant general secretary with transport workers union TSSA said: "We would like to apologise in advance to passengers who may well find their services delayed and even cancelled but we have been forced to take this action to get management to listen to us seriously."
He warned a second 48-hour strike would be staged next Thursday if the dispute had not been settled by then.
A spokesman from London Midland said: "We are disappointed that a small number of staff have chosen to take industrial action.
"Our focus is to keep services running for our passengers and we have good contingency plans in place to do this.
"We remain open to talks with TSSA to resolve this issue".
London Midland runs services between London Euston and Liverpool.

School registration process
Original post made by Lillian Kvitko on Feb 23, 2007
on Feb 23, 2007 at 8:39 pm
I have heard: The school registration places currently enrolled PAUSD students and then they place new students registering into PAUSD. We registered for 6th grade last year and did not hear until middle of June for final placement. The school office staff are very helpful, but the central attendance office staff were a bit scary. I am sure the central attendance office is very busy, but they show no concern for the parents anxiety about knowing what school the children will attend. For me our work scheduled depended on where my kids would be located, also for peace of mind its nice to know.
You might want to contact the school you are zoned for. They should have some idea of enrollment and space available from the prior year. It would give you some idea of your chances of being over flowed and where you are likely to be sent, if overflowed. You can always visit a few schools based on the results. Good luck.

If the kinder registration deadline was 2/2 - technically your application was late. Aside from that - the secretary of the elementary school which is you neighborhood school should know if there is a waiting list for next year, it depends on if the current 4th grade is full (someone would need to leave), if there are already kids on the waiting list, etc. If the 4th grade is full, the secretaries seem to have a good idea of what schools are not full in a particular grade, though they may not feel comfortable sharing this info. Good luck and remember your child will enjoy any of the elementary schools in Palo Alto!
on Feb 24, 2007 at 12:26 pm
When you got your school placement in June for 6th grade was it for your assigned school or were you over flowed to another middle school? I was not aware of over flowing for middle and high schools. The central attendance people did tell me that we should be able to get into one of the near by schools: Palo Verde, El Carmelo, Fairmeadow, or Hoover. We are very worried that we would have to go across town to Barron Park or Escondido. I am going to Palo Verde on Monday to try to research the situation a bit further.

Weather: Cold, calm and cloudy
High pressure is very much in control of our weather at the moment.
It is keeping things settled but dragging in cold air and cloud from the east.
We are keeping this set up well into next week so keep your winter woollens at hand!

Our congregations are trying different approaches: drop-in coffee centers,
parenting groups, or other parent-centered programs that increase the chances
that they will remain involved in temple life as their children grow older. To
learn from the experiences of the Reform synagogues that have successfully met
this challenge, visit the Union's Membership website, www.urj.org/membership.
An even larger group of Jews doesn't even drive by the synagogue. Once they
were temple "regulars" for their children's sake; now they come only for Rosh
Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or yahrzeits. The richness that Judaism offers is
not on their radar screen, except for the compelling message of the High Holy
Day season. At the holidays' end they drift off again, not to be seen for a
year—unless they have a lifecycle event or other reason to step across the
temple threshold.
In many of our Reform congregations, the majority of members are
empty-nesters and seniors. According to the Pew Forum survey, 72 percent of all
Jewish households have no children at home—and more than half of us are over the
age of 50.
Why, then, the emphasis on what Rabbi Larry Hoffman, professor at Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, calls "pediatric Judaism"? "We have
planned for our children only," he wrote in 1996. "In our understandable anxiety
to pass on Judaism as their heritage, we have neglected its spiritual resources
for adults, leaving ourselves with no adequate notion of how we too might draw
sustenance from our faith as we grow up and grow older."
That same year, in his inaugural sermon, Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, president of
the Union for Reform Judaism, declared that today's Jews are in "need of
transcendent meaning" and "searching for the poetry of faith." And so he
launched what has become one of the hallmarks of his presidency—a focus on adult
Jewish literacy. Since then, I am pleased to report, thousands of adults have
risen to the challenge of learning to chant Hebrew, and synagogues throughout
the Union report dramatic growth in their Torah study groups. We have also
witnessed a transformation in worship reflected in the creation of our
Movement's new prayerbook, Mishkan T'filah.
During the upcoming High Holy Days our sanctuaries will be filled to
overflowing. We will take time to reflect on who we are, our joys and
disappointments, our successes and failures. We will pause from the pressures of
our everyday lives and think about our hopes and dreams for the coming year both
as individuals and as Jews.
My wish for you this year is that you heed Judaism's eternal pull. Let
yourself respond to the shofar's call. And, most of all, don't be a stranger.
Our community needs you—and, more importantly, you need the community.
Joan joins me in wishing you and your loved ones L'shanah tovah.
Peter J. Weidhorn, Chairman Union for Reform Judaism Board of

Beginning the journey in Auckland, we travelled down the North Island making our way to Wellington.
A short and windy trip though the Marlborough Sounds led us to Picton where we resumed the trip through some of the South Island's most picturesque landscapes.

From wineries to mountainous landscapes, we finished our journey in Christchurch just two weeks before an earthquake would change the city forever.

Lamenting the Bolts loss of the Stanley Cup, the Tampa Tribune thrust itself into one of the humorous quirks that are sometimes forgotten in pro sports history.
Our series on the numbers worn by Tampa Bay Lightning players continues with #5, as worn by defenseman Jassen Cullimore
It has been a decade since the Lightning played in the month of June, but in many ways this year's Stanley Cup Finals is the closest resemblance to that era.
The Sweater Series #2: Eric Brewer: The pylon jokes were worth it for his play in the 2011 playoff run.
The world moves on and while we cling to warm memories for comfort, we cannot be lost in them, or our expectations on the present diminishes.
May 22nd, 2004's epic finale between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Philadelphia Flyers will be rebroadcast tonight at 8 PM on Sun Sports.
Playoff games from 2003 and 2004 will be featured on Thursdays in November on Sun Sports.
It's been eight years, but it remains a day and a feat that fans won't soon forget.
In April, Steve Yzerman made a request that Lightning players wear visors next season. Why? And who will answer the call?

Health Care Reform and its Local Impact
11/12/2013 (Updated 11:03:26 PM)Much has been made of the problems the federal health care website has endured since it's rollout, but it's a different story for New York State's health exchange.
That's the word from the head of Mothers and Babies Perinatal Network Sharon Chesna, an agency which has facilitators to help people sign up at the state exchange.
Chesna says the state site is running well, and once people have all the information they need to sign up, registering on the state exchange should be a smooth process.
"They could probably complete the entire process in one encounter with one of our navigators. If they have a number of individuals in the family and they have to understand and know what the health issues are with any of their family members, that might help drive what plan they want to select," said Chesna.
Chesna stressed that what people are signing up for now is insurance that will take effect on January 1st.

My photobook about Art Fairs came out at the end of 2009 (publisher d'jonge Hond,/ISBN 987-90-89101-48-8 / NUR 653). I photographed at important Art Fairs such as Frieze Art Fair, Paris Photo, Art Basel, etc. I tried to show in this photo project the 'condition humaine'.
In my new photo project Before and After the Art Fair the 'condition humaine' is not a matter of prime importance to me anymore.
I am now especially interested in the visual arts displayed and in the peculiar phenomenon that sometimes appears during work done at art fairs, when spontaneous 'installations' occur with their own beauty and significance.
There is more emphasis on images without people. If people are shown they should be seen as 'stills' from a performance.
For this BLURB photobook I took pictures at five Dutch Art Fairs: Art Amsterdam 2010, PAN Amsterdam 2010, Arti The Hague 2010, Realisme Fair 2011 and Art Rotterdam 2011.
This Blurb book is primarily intended to sort out which choices will have to be made for the next period of this photo project. And it will also be a way to show others my portfolio on the subject after one year of taking pictures.

JU women fall to UF
Related Links
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Missed opportunities bit JU more than the Gators did Wednesday as the Dolphins lost their season opener to Florida, 14-5.
The Dolphins (0-1) fell behind 5-0 at the half and 7-0 in the second half before finding themselves on three consecutive goals.
Sophomore Jen Cosgrove picked up where she left off in the team's preseason exhibition against England and scored the Dolphins' first goal of the season with 24:24 to play.
Classmate Ali Hoffman then followed with back-to-back goals in about a two-minute span. The first was an unassisted effort with 21:11 to play and the second came with 19:23 to go on a pass from freshman Holly Ventimiglia to pull JU to a 7-3 deficit.
The Gators (1-1) ran off seven consecutive goals and JU ended it scoring with goal by Kaitlin Stewart and Cosgrove's second of the game.
"It's disappointing,'' JU coach Mindy McCord said. "We had an equal number of shots (20) and we've got to be able to execute. We were 1-for-11 for free positions and 1-for-6 on man up opportunities, we're getting the opportunities, we've got to convert them.''
The Dolphins slowed the ball down in the first half in an effort to thwart the fourth-ranked Gators' offense and, of course, began challenging more in the second half as time wore off the clock.
The JU defense put the clamps on UF star Kitty Cullen who wound up with but a single goal. Two of her teammates, Gabi Wiegand and Nora Barry picked up the slack and scored five goals each.
"I'm sure they weren't happy about that,'' McCord said. "Certainly being able to hold her in scoring helps us to be more competitive. She's obviously a great player.''
Still, the game's lament for McCord came down to the missed opportunities.
"It was about working our possession and getting a good look off it,'' she said. "We're putting the ball in our hands and we've got to put the ball in the net. We put ourselves in position to get the looks we got but we weren't able to put them on cage tonight.''
McCord acknowledged the Florida defense did its job.
"I thought their defense did a really nice job of putting pressure on us,'' she said. "They're fast and they jammed up a lot of our shooters and that's something we've got to work harder on in practice is putting more pressure on our shooters so they get used to that.''
JU's next game is Feb. 26, the home opener against Siena.

- Lamb was a flopOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/28/2014On the 28th dinner I ordered a la carte lamb. Mint was missing, added fatty patty and grassy weed like herb new for me did not go with lamb, spit out. This concoction by the chef was a bust.Desert and coffee ok.Special Features:
- Superb in every way...JDofDCDined on 8/27/2014Café Boulud is the personification of what is so right about the New York restaurant experience has to offer. The service is impeccable and easy. Each dish is as intricate and interesting as the last. The sommelier was brilliant in his suggestions that worked perfectly with the meal. But in the end it was the duo of veal that was as enjoyable as the restaurant scene in When Harry Met Sally..."YES!"...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Daniel's GemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014This long time restaurant of famed chef Daniel Boulard never dissappoints. I am only in this resturant two or three times a year and I still get recognized. The very best service, food, and wine. Never dissappointsSpecial Features:
- samanthaVIPDined on 8/25/2014outstanding dinner. wonderful evening. looking forward to returning.Special Features:
- Auto 20% service charge?!?!dkdkDined on 8/23/2014Nothing special at all to trip to the restaurant for breakfast even though you live a block away. I was very upset that my bill was charged automatically 20% for service even though I told my waiter that I was not staying at the hotel(the restaurant is at the Surrey Hotel) when he asked me before I received my bill. Manager said if I stay at the hotel, the system charges 20% for service, but on my bill, there was no blank line asking for room #. I have been to this restaurant many times and it never happened me before or I have never noticed auto 20% service charge on my previous bills…? Why the waiter thought that he could decide how much I should spend for his service? It was my decision and it was my money!!!Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/21/2014The service was good and the food was delicious at our lunch for 2 on a Thursday afternoon. The atmosphere is quiet and sedate. The menu offered a two-course lunch for $37.00, choosing any 2 courses from a menu listing appetizers, main courses and desserts. I ordered a salad appetizer (delicious) and a pasta main course (spaghettini puttanesca with an anchovy flavor- delicious). My dining partner ordered a chicken dish. Her portion wasn't large, but was entirely adequate. My portion of spaghetti was minuscule. It was served in a soup bowl with a huge rim and tiny center. We thought at first I had mistakenly ordered an appetizer portion, but checking the menu verified that it was a main course. A stingy portion.
- Sophisticated and SparklingBestFFDined on 8/19/2014Here is an elite restaurant--fantastic French cuisine, fun crowd, electric atmosphere--that will actually honor a diner's request for a spot for easy conversation. While enjoying the lively scene, a pair of friends too-long apart could catch up on each other's news over an elegant, yet leisurely meal, launched with perfect martinis and accompanied by an eloquent wine. The staff seemed to anticipate our needs, yet never were intrusive. Cafe Boulud provided a thoroughly delightful dining experience.Special Features:

- Uppity waiters on the Upper EastLuvfoodDined on 8/16/2014We had a delicious meal spoiled by the arrogance and rudeness of two waiters. We ordered glasses if wine instead of the expected bottle. To be honest we had an early start next morning and didn't want any more alcohol and as far as i kniw the customer can order what they like! This request was received with a snort from the waiter. We asked to wait awhile between main course amd dessert. After 10 minutes the waiter returned to ask if he could start preparing it. He returned with it 10 seconds later!!!!! They received a derisory tip and an explanation on the bill as to why. W were in and out of the restaurant in an hour and 15 mins. Rushed through by very uppity staff.Special Features:
- FabulousBusinessLunchVIPDined on 8/16/2014Cafe Boulud continues to be an amazing combination of a destination restaurant that is equally comfortable being a neighborhood spot. Bravo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent meal and great servicefamilyof4Dined on 8/16/2014My husband and I enjoyed a nice dinner here. The menu had many good choices and you could even do substitutions on the Prix Fixe menu. The staff was very well trained and the setting was nice but had no view (couldn't people/street watch from our back of the room table). Staff has extensive knowledge about the menu and can answer all questions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful, but rolls were staleETKAVIPDined on 8/16/2014first rate, on all levels. Even the wines--by the glass-were lovely. Steak was best I've had in years. So in a restaurant of this quality, why serve stale rolls?Special Features:
- A bit of a disappointmentRosaVIPDined on 8/15/2014Most of the meal was up to its usual standards, but not all. Some in our party ordered the prix fixe dinner, others a la carte - all felt the same way. Some dishes (or parts of some dishes) were sublime, other just ok. Service was pleasant, but sometimes distracted. We ordered sparkling water, but it was flat. We brought this to the server's attention and he left to replace it - 15 minutes later we asked again - it was finally replaced - with the same flat water, which we left untouched. We were told it was carbonated on the premises. We were charged $12 - at this price, the restaurant should change it's CO2 cartridge or open a bottle of Perrier. Overall, while still an excellent meal, it did not live up to its reputation or prices.Special Features:

- Cup of coffeeRPFPVIPDined on 8/15/2014Restaurant week lunch is $25 - to charge $7 for a cup of coffee is way out of line. If the price is lowered for the appetizer, entree and dessert why does the price of coffee remain the same as usual? It is not at all reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We were a party of three and experienced all of the options offered on the New York Restaurant week menu. We were trully amazed by the "magic touch" provided by the talented kitchen staff and chef. Certainly, this place will become one of our favorite places for dining in NYC and we certainly will try to eat there on all of our future visits to this city. We also have to reccomend this place for the very nice ambience that it offers and the impeccable service provided by the staff.Special Features:

This a a happy place for what I call conservative foodies who mourn the demise of the best French restaurants of years gone by and are thrilled that Daniel Boulud's combination of exquisite food and civilized settings are here to reassure us. Thanks DB!Special Features:

Let's Talk iPhone
We all know what was rumored for several weeks, that the star of yesterday's iPhone unveiling would not be the hardware. And it wasn't. Sure it was upgraded: A5 versus A4, eight megapixels versus five etc. But the physical update ranked up there with Intel's introduction of the 486 for emotional pull. For many loyal Apple customers, including myself, the news was disappointing on first impression.
Still, first impressions are not always the most accurate. The true star of yesterday's event was the integration of the iPhone to the Cloud. From iCloud through Find My Friends, iTunes Match, Photo Stream, Backup and of course the Siri personal assistant, Apple has tethered its phone to a series of concentric Clouds that span the personal, familial and public.
Now, one can argue that every app on the iPhone has, in one way or another, always been a portal, in miniature, to some shared Web-like Cloud service. What makes yesterday's series of Cloud announcements different is how intertwined these Cloud services have become with the core propositions of the iPhone. Apple has tried to tie Cloud to most of the primary functions of the iPhone: communication, music, photos, search, social networking, calendaring etc.
Clearly, Apple benefits from anchoring our devices to a Cloud of its own invention. Defecting to another phone platform will become more complicated and cumbersome because of the iPhone's many Clouds. Despite this, there is no denying the benefit that accrues to me and every consumer of Apple products from the cocooning effect of the Cloud. Apple's Cloud services simplify a range of tasks and make possible some like Siri, which would have been impossible otherwise.
Like all good innovators, Apple did not invent the idea of integrating the Cloud to a mobile device. Google has been experimenting with this for years. Even Amazon, with its new Kindle Fire, is leveraging its AWS Cloud to accelerate Web browsing. However, Apple has the mass market reach to truly make Cloud integration with mobile devices mainstream.
For enterprise software vendors like Oracle, IBM WebSphere and Layer 7 Technologies, which are marrying software with hardware to deliver integrated appliances, the lesson is obvious: software plus hardware may be incomplete. Perhaps a better mnemonic is: "Software. Hardware. Cloud. Complete." This may explain why Larry Ellison chose to replace Mark Benioff's Cloud keynote today at Oracle OpenWorld 2011 with his own.

The Shofar is presented annually at the University of Mobile's graduation ceremony by the School of Christian Ministries, University of Mobile, to an Alabama Baptist State Convention minister each year for faithful service that might otherwise go unrecognized.
Boyd was honored for his work with the soup kitchen sponsored by Maranatha Baptist and Jasper First Baptist, as well as all his other community outreach programs that benefit the community as a whole.
"I was just really surprised," Boyd said about receiving the call that he was chosen as the honoree for this year. "But I can't take the credit for all the good work the church and community has done, I have always been surrounded by other pastors and friends who are good, loving people."
Boyd was presented with a shofar, or ram's horn, to recognize his service. According to the program from the event, the shofar was used to signify momentous events from the beginnings of biblical history.
"In times of war its blasts called soldiers to arms; alerted towns of the approach of enemies; and directed troop movements. In times of peace it announced the beginning of a new month; directed worshippers to observe the Sabbath; and heralded the Year of Jubilee. The shofar warned of danger; announced the death of a community leader; and introduced the new king to Israel. At solemn assemblies the shofar called the people away from distractions to direct their attention to God," it read.
This is the reason for the presentation of the shofar, as well as for opening the ceremonies with the blowing of the shofar and a prayer led by Boyd.
The program also said that Boyd was honored with the shofar because: "Throughout the Walker Baptist Association, he is known as truly humble servant leader with a Christ-like spirit who loves the people he serves unconditionally ... Much of the funding for the church's various ministries has come directly from his pocket.
He works tirelessly for his congregation and community, not only feeding people spiritually, but also feeding and clothing the needy. By his faithful example, he has inspired many other congregations in the county to join him in ministering to those who need it most."
Boyd began Maranatha Baptist in 1976, after being ordained as a Baptist minister in 1974.

NASA and the U.S. military launched a Minotaur I rocket from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia Tuesday night.
Places along the eastern United States, including the New York metropolitan region, got a decent look at the rocket launch. NASA said that the launch would be visible in places with clear weather from southern Canada to northern Florida and as far west as Indiana.
The launch window opened at 7:30 p.m., and the rocket lifted off at about 8:15 p.m.
The rocket's primary payload was an Air Force satellite, but it also carried 28 other satellites, including one built by high school students, NASA said.
If you saw the rocket, Tweet your photos to @myfoxny with the hashtag #rocketfox5.

Thursday, the morning I flew out of town, I thought it was over. There was the one night of rage, but en route to the airport, it seemed things had quieted down.
So, I was off for the world premiere of a friend's play in Toronto. Once there, I caught a cab at the airport, checked into the hotel—and, literally as I set foot in my room, the phone rang, and I heard the horrifying news. And even as the bellhop was still carting in my luggage and attempting to fulfill his bellhoppian duty of pointing out light switches, air-conditioning controls, and the private minibar, I began my long TV vigil.
Let me tell you—while never in my wildest dreams will I be able to fully comprehend what you were going through here, just imagine the bizarre sensation of being some 2,000 miles away watching your hometown explode on a 26-inch screen.
Certainly, you'd expect shock, horror, and sadness. But there was also and odd feeling of helplessness, of overwhelming isolation. You find yourself calling everyone you know.. You surf from CNN to Brokaw to Koppel, hoping for something new, but they just keep replaying the same tapes. You watch anyway.
Then things quiet down, and it's not TVNEWS anymore, and even CNN turns to the usual suspects. So, while you have your vivid memories of watching the air around you fill with flame and smoke and despair, I have something more like a bizarre Greatest Hits videotape.
Roll the tape, Sandy.
Back in L.A. on Sunday, it was hard to believe all this had happened in such a short time. Except there was somehow too little traffic, and a waiter at the California Pizza Kitchen complained jokingly about another night of curfew. Cabin fever, he said, had set in.
I drove to India's Oven. I'd heard all four corners at Pico and Fairfax had been burned, and I wanted to see. Probably because I had so girded myself for the sight, it ended up being less than I expected. Across the street, at the boarded up Vons, something shook me more: my first National Guardsmen. And nearby, a yellow BLACK OWNED signed on a store I knew was not
Earlier, while I was still airborne, my wife, back home, had loaded up the brand-new Range Rover with groceries and clothes, then together we drove to the First AME. We had debated going into South Central—in that car, especially—and considered just doing a drop-off at the Salvation Army in Santa Monica. But having been isolated for so long, I felt compelled to get the goodies there right now. I also felt compelled to visit in person the institution that loomed largest on my video.
I hope you went, too, because, boy, it was some sight. The few blocks from the freeway took nearly an hour and a half, thanks to the long line of cars that poured in from all over the city to help. It was the same image I had been left with, watching TV on my last day in Toronto.
I had watched on Wednesday as they city erupted, on Thursday exploded, on Friday calmed. On Saturday—four days and, at that time, 45 deaths, 2,116 injuries and 7,495 arrests later—I watched as people of all colors joined together to reclaim their city. A week before, such a sight would not have seemed remotely possible.
The views of that reclamation played all over the country, all over the world. And there was something in it even stronger than the previous views of beating, looting, and burning.
For a few days at least, a phoenix rose from the ashes. It wasn't a miracle. But maybe, just maybe, it was a good start.

Newly installed as the head of Warner Bros., Jeff Robinov has wasted no time in getting the studio's priorities straight for the next few years and they plan on diving head first into the comic properties they have, and no wonder. With Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" marking the end of a chapter (though he will produce the eventual reboot), WB already has "Green Lantern" hitting this summer, with "The Flash" and "Wonder Woman" films in development. But perhaps the biggest news to emerge in the last few days is that a "Justice League" movie is in the works to hit screens in 2013 -- just a year after Zack Snyder and Nolan bow their Superman and Batman films. It's an ambitious move with a lot of questions still to be answered. But Snyder has cleared up the biggest query around the film so far: it will be separate from the worlds he and Nolan will have created.
Speaking with HeyUGuys on the red carpet for "Sucker Punch" in the UK he said, "Like what Chris Nolan is doing and what I'm doing with Superman, what they'll do with Justice League will be its own thing with its own Batman and own Superman. We'll be over here with our movie and they'll kinda get to do it twice which is kinda cool."
Pretty savvy move on WB's part, respecting the visions of their helmers while still finding a way to get more adventures of Superman, Batman and the rest of the Justice League team on screen. We suppose this now means there will be casting rumors for the next little while until this thing gets locked down (cue up everyone who ever tried out for both films) and if we had any worry, it might be an over-saturation of the crime fighters. At the very least, audiences will have very high standards for what follows both Nolan and Snyder's films.
As everyone knows by now, one of the great, almost-happened-but-didn't franchise movies was George Miller's "Justice League" which had among its cast Armie Hammer (as Batman), Adam Brody as The Flash, D.J. Cotrona as Superman, rapper Common as John Stewart/Green Lantern, and Australian supermodel Megan Gale as Wonder Woman. But just before it was set to begin filming the writer's strike arrived killing the planned polishes on the script and eventually wound up shuttering the film for good.
This is WB's second stab at the apple and comic fans will be scrutinizing every move. Christopher Nolan can't godfather everything at the studio, but hopefully they'll learn from his approach (smart, character driven scripts that also deliver the blockbuster bang people want). "Justice League" is planned to hit theaters sometime in 2013.

Agreed. Cavill has to step it up and be a huge presence not only in the film but while promoting it. I didn't read that EW issue but he has to make the best of his time at the spotlight. Do Kimmel and Fallon and be game to do sketches and the such.
I'm wishing him the best but he's got an uphill battle.
He's probably going to have a lot of fun filming Supes though. All the girls in Sucker Punch seemed to love working with Snyder.
g.louise | March 31, 2011 4:19 AM
Before "Man of Steel" opens, we will know who the JLA Superman is and filming will be well underway. Before Cavill's movie even comes out, the hype will have begun to promote JLA's Superman. Interviews, magazine spreads, set visits, endless website articles by the new JLA Superman, all happening BEFORE Cavill's movie even opens. Can you even imagine? Cavill just had a bomb drop on his head.
g.louise | March 31, 2011 4:04 AM
Pretty sure no one is interested in employing Routh as anything in any movie. The guy is a Ken doll, not an actor.
Armie Hammer would make a decent Superman, but he won't touch that role. All the JLA actors and the Reboot actors will be constantly compared to each other. No actor with brains or any heat puts himself in that position. It'll be a thankless, low-paying gig to anyone who ends up in either the Reboots or JLA. Poor Henry Cavill has just been blindsided.
rodie | March 31, 2011 3:56 AM
I think they could get Routh for "hella cheap" at this point, don't you? He's not exactly busy. If Hammer's interested, I think you top-line it with him, give him the biggest cut, then Routh, then go far cheaper on the rest of the cast.
Kevin Jagernauth | March 31, 2011 3:39 AM
Guys, the new JLA is going to be all no-names or dudes they can get hella cheap just like they did the first time around with George Miller's film.
rodie | March 31, 2011 3:34 AM
Okay, can we start the Brandon Routh for Superman in JLA talk now? Why not bring him back for this?
Hammer as Batman and Routh as Superman would be a really solid start to a JLA movie.
Alex | March 31, 2011 3:03 AM
Hmm...animated films?
Didn't Armie Hammer say they previz-ed the entire Miller film? Why not turn that into one of those direct-to-video DC cartoons?
Reno | March 31, 2011 2:47 AM
I just wish there was more consistency across the board. It will be a bit weird to have different actors playing the same roles while others continue in their roles, it's disjointed I feel. I guess the fact that a JL film is coming should be good enough. I figured we wouldn't see one for another 6 or so years. However I do prefer the more seamless Marvel more.
wtffff | March 30, 2011 11:24 AM
Calming down now. Maybe the way forward is to look back.
So we get Bale in TDKR.
Then New Reboot Batman
and Michael Keaton in JLA.
Cavill as New Reboot Superman
and Tom Welling in JLA.
Reynolds as new Green Lantern (Hal Jordan version)
and African-American actor in JLA (John Stewart version)
That would cut down on confusion imo. JLA-world is then billed as "What if Burton's Batman world got smashed up with Smallville's Superman world?!!!" Snyder would actually be a better director for this world than the "realistic" Superman reboot world.
Frederick | March 30, 2011 11:06 AM
Maybe there's still a chance that Brandon Routh could wear the suit again! *crosses fingers*
wtffff | March 30, 2011 10:57 AM
wtf? That's going to be 4 or 5 Superman actors in about the same number of years. New Superman and 2 new Batmen (reboot and JLA)? That will kill all of their movies. Part of what killed the previous Batman franchise was turning over a new actor in every other film. Rapid churn makes it harder for audiences to invest in the characters. 3 picture deals or X-number of pictures per 10 years, seems to be the sweet spot. I guarantee that both the Batman and Superman Reboots and JLA will bomb if they carry through with this insanity. Warner GREED will kill the golden goose. They could pace themselves and rake in billions of dollars. Instead they'll flood audiences with multiple Batmen and Supermen (and Green Lantern! ) actors and turn audiences off all of their DC movies. Insanity.
QU347 | March 30, 2011 10:49 AM
they should just do animated films for the Justice League films and leave Nolan' Batman and Snyder's Superman the hell alone. The Avengers is doin live action so WB shouldn't attempt to copy their idea and just find ways to work around JL's film.

i love the way these little engines can lug. i typically push snow at 1/2 throttle or sometimes even less. the governor keeps the RPM right where you set it at. even at 1/2 throttle it has no problem pushing a good sized pile. i have realized that is the HUGE difference between these 4 cylinder engines and smaller single cylinder engines. while a kohler k301 might be rated at 12 hp it cannot lug like a C60, nowhere near it; and today's stuff is over-rated much worse then a K301. if you would use the same methods used today i think the C60 would be more like 30-35 hp. these engines lug like a bigger tractor can lug, nice isnt it? i dont see how i will have a problem with the 60" belly mower if the grass is dry, the blades are sharp, and the mower is adjusted properly.
not to mention these tractors when ran at 1/2 throttle and allowing the governor to do its job, then they are very fuel efficient. seems to burn less gas then a good sized snowblower. cubs are fuel efficient. seems like all of this so called superior technology is just a bunch of crap. here we have a 60 year old flathead 4 cylinder and it gets great fuel economy.

PEORIA, IL -- In light of the events in Boston, we wanted to know how safe you feel in a large crowd?
From the head of emergency services in Peoria to parents watching their children perform at the county courthouse the answers varied:
"Where else to create fear than to hit hometown America. Cause if you're not safe in Peoria, Illinois or your smaller hometowns, where are you safe. We planned for that long before 9/11 ever happened,"Dwain Deppolder, City of Peoria Emergency Manager.
"I really didn't even give it a second thought to be honest with you. Maybe I feel safer here that it's a smaller town. Peoria versus a Boston, but again I think that I have the perspective that I hate to have something like that deter me from attending an event like this. I didn't even think about it as I pulled in here, I was trying to make sure I made it out here on time to be honest," Seth Davis, Peoria resident.
"I wake up almost everyday thinking you never know what's next. If it's something out in a crowd or a car accident. There is just a brevity of life that is always on mind anyway. So it's just kind of that's life. Those things happen,"Tina Backstrom, Washington resident.
