text: Dwane Casey is a good man and i like him. But at being a coach is totally not the same kind of love. Prime example of why he isn't fit for the job. When we was beating the Warriors by 27 i think, we ended up losing the game. He does't make defensive ajustments in tight spots. I dont think he knows what to do on defense. Our backcourt is choppy and we dont cause much turnovers. In tight games I dont trust our defence to stick through the final 2 minutes. Now our offence isnt bad and isnt great. We turn teh ball way to much. Even playing bad teams we turn it over. i LOVE Demar Derozen, and he's a scoring machine but the fact is stop taking jump shots and hard lay-ups and give it to teh posts. Amir scored 32 points the other day, we have scorign posts but they don't get the ball. Th emain thing that bugged me Is That let's say that Jonas Valanciunas gets on a role in teh first quater. Dwane takes him out the whole half. I know he gets tired but he's a dominant force. He just dont get the time. Dwane Casey makes too many mistakes for us wanting to be a championship team. One coach i think we could get is Jeff Van Gundy. He is great coach who knows what he's doing. Dwane Isn't the right guy.

NASCAR driver Danica Patrick says she still follows the Indianapolis 500, but she's not sure she'll ever race in the event again.
Patrick, who first earned her popularity in open-wheel racing, says her focus is on the Sprint Cup series and the chances of her running at the Indy 500 become "less and less likely with each passing year."
Patrick has run the Indy 500 seven times. She qualified fourth in 2005, eventually led 29 laps during her open-wheel career and finished third in 2009.
Patrick says she contemplated pulling "double duty" this year, racing in the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Coca 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day, but decided against it.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a meeting with Catherine Ashton, the top diplomat for the European Union and Michelle Bachelet, executive director of UN Women and the former president of Chile, signed a document in support of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). "We call upon all States to ratify and fulfill their obligations under the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and to implement fully Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) on Women and Peace and Security and other relevant UN resolutions," the women leaders wrote in their joint statement.
Melanne Verveer, ambassador-at-large for global women's issues at the State Department, told the Huffington Post, "I've testified that around the world, the number one question I'm asked is why hasn't the U.S. ratified CEDAW. We would be much stronger if we could be in the right place, but it's up to the Senate."
CEDAW was first signed by Jimmy Carter in 1980 and has been approved by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations twice, but the United States has never ratified the treaty. The treaty has been ratified by 186 of the 193 member nations of the United Nations. The other six nations that have not signed the treaty are Iran, the Republic of the Sudan, and Syria, as well as the three small Pacific Island nations of Palau, Tonga and Nauru.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fletcher the fighter battles hard
Damaged rod left his head with no structural support
OTTAWA -- Manitoba junior cabinet minister Steven Fletcher sat in his 29th-floor office in downtown Ottawa last week and gazed at the stunning views of the Ottawa Valley that stretched out below.
He is a little thinner than before, his black suit hanging loosely on his body. But he is no less feisty and he has a clear message for anyone who thinks his health problems will keep him from staying in politics.
He's back and he's not going anywhere.
That Fletcher is this confident in his current health is nothing short of a medical marvel.
Just two months ago, Fletcher was meeting with his lawyers to make sure his will was up to date. The new year had barely begun when Fletcher, 39, was told by his orthopedic surgeon in Winnipeg that something was very wrong.
"The rod in my neck had become dislodged," he said. "The bottom two screws started to project into my throat."
After Fletcher underwent more testing in Ottawa and Toronto, the news kept getting worse. The damage to the rod was so bad the C5-C6 vertebrae had broken again.
"There was nothing structural holding my head to my body. Just muscle and ligaments."
The screws from the rod had also created holes in his throat and esophagus.
"It was quite a shock to hear. The doctor used words like 'grave.' "
In January 1996, Fletcher became a quadriplegic after his car collided with a moose while he was driving to a job as a geological engineer in Bissett. Doctors didn't expect him to survive then, but he did, despite the odds.
Fletcher went on to earn his MBA and then became the first quadriplegic elected to the House of Commons in 2004. He was promoted to cabinet in 2008.
Last fall, he fell twice in a short period of time. Once, it was at an event with spinal cord research advocate Rick Hansen. The second time was in the shower.
Likely one or both of those falls caused the titanium rod screwed to the front of his throat to move, but nobody knew it for several weeks.
"I had a bit of a sore throat so I was taking Halls, which sounds kind of ridiculous now," Fletcher said with a grimace.
The problem was discovered in a routine MRI shortly after Christmas and the results relayed to Fletcher on Jan. 6.
His first question was what his odds were of surviving it.
Fletcher's doctors couldn't say because it's a very rare occurrence. So rare, in fact, that the physicians in Winnipeg had never seen it. So he turned to doctors in Ottawa and then Toronto for help.
Fletcher ultimately ended up at Toronto Western Hospital.
On Jan. 19, he underwent a 12-hour surgery. The doctors removed the old titanium rod and replaced it with a much longer rod, this time secured to the back of his neck, not the front. It stretches from the middle of Fletcher's head to the middle of his back.
"If our civilization lasts 1,000 years, my neck will last 1,000 years. It feels better than I can remember," Fletcher said.
He spent several days in the ICU and about 2 1/2 weeks in hospital before returning to Winnipeg.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was one of the first people who Fletcher told of his health crisis. But at that point, Fletcher's doctors were predicting a recovery time of three months to a year. Fletcher publicly reported he was stepping aside from cabinet temporarily on Jan. 16. He did not say when he might return, because he didn't know.
"I recovered much faster than everyone predicted," he said.
One of the reasons Fletcher is going so public with what happened is to push back against some in his own party who seem intent on rousting Fletcher from the Charleswood-St.James-Assiniboia seat to run there themselves.
For months prior to the diagnosis, false rumours persisted in Manitoba that Fletcher was in poor health and was going to step down. That Fletcher says he was unaware of the rumours tells you exactly how close to the truth they really were.
"I want to squash any rumours out there," Fletcher said. "I'm actually better than I was before.
"I couldn't have hoped for a better result."

MORRISVILLE — It was a mismatch on paper in terms of respective roster sizes and school sizes.
But that disparity, Lansdale Catholic coach Tom Kirk knows, can be a trap door to the bigger school if it doesn't come out focused and ready to play four quarters.
Suffice to say the Class AAA Crusaders, on the road at Morrisville, were ready for the Class A Bulldogs. Before you knew it, LC had a 35-point lead and was in mercy rule territory by the first minute of the second quarter.
The Crusaders' strong running game rolled for 259 yards in the first half, and their defense barely let the Bulldogs breathe in that span as LC went on to a 42-6 victory Friday night.
"You have to be careful when you (play against) maybe a team that you're better than on paper, and becoming complacent," Kirk said. "You don't want to become complacent.
"We had to come out here right from the get-go and do what we do well right now, which is running the football, and we did.
"These kids have played together now for two years in a row, and they're used to what they're doing. I like these guys. I'm going to push them, but I like their work ethic."
LC improved to 3-0. It got 142 rushing yards from senior Michael Isabella on just three carries, and he scored touchdowns of 27 and 89 yards.
"Our line had a great game," Isabella said. "You've just got to hit the holes and go."
Morrisville, with only 24 players dressing — less than half of LC's roster size — fell to 1-2 but had some bright spots among its skill-position players, some of them underclassmen that coach Bill Quill will be glad to have around as he continues to rebuild the program.
Morrisville sophomore Tahmeir Scott blasted off a 68-yard run in the early going, as LC's Michael Iacono saved a touchdown with the Crusaders leading 13-0.
Senior Uriel Savage, who transferred back to Morrisville this year from Conwell-Egan, had 57 yards receiving on two catches, including a lunging grab, and banged for a 6.0-yard rushing average. Morrisville's Justin Young-Hayward, a junior transfer from Pennsbury, showed some good power between the tackles.
Morrisville senior quarterback Joe Sesar kept firing against a fierce defense and made some nice throws, going 7-for-17 for 92 yards, including a 25-yard TD to sophomore Donovan O'Brien, who made a juggling catch in the end zone.
LC was just too big and strong up front, and its backs found holes and reeled off big chunks of real estate. Isabella's 27-yard TD came just 58 seconds into the game.
Zach Talley's blocked punt set up his own 2-yard TD reception from Joe Pinzka.
"We came out and played hard every snap," Talley said.
After LC denied the Bulldogs' red-zone threat following Scott's 68-yard run, Isabella took a pitch and scooted 89 yards to make it 21-0.
"I saw great blocks by my co-backs and the linemen, and just busted it outside," Isabella said.
Joe Jefferson scored twice on runs, his second making it 35-0 with 11:55 left in the second quarter.
"Our strength has been our offensive line and our backs playing together," Kirk said. "We just need to get better every day, and hopefully we'll continue to do that as an offensive unit."

Indianapolis Colts running back Donald Brown is active and listed as the starter for Thursday night's game against the Jaguars. Brown has been dealing with a knee injury and hasn't carried the ball since Week 7 against the Titans when he finished with 80 yards on 14 rushes.
How much he will actually play has yet to be determined.
Fantasy Take: Brown has been decent in limited action this season and is facing a Jacksonville defense ranked 27th against the run and 31st in rushing touchdowns allowed. That makes him a great start when healthy, but it's possible he could be limited in carries and that Vick Ballard will get his fair share.
It's a risky play, but could pay big dividends. Especially if the Colts build an early lead.

John K. Samson Premieres New Video For "Longitudinal Centre"
Samson has also released an intensely evocative cinematic clip for the song "Longitudinal Centre" from Provincial. The footage provides a perfect visual companion to the poignant up-tempo track. To watch the video please go to IFC.com.
Provincial contains newly recorded versions of songs from Samson's previous two EPs, City Route 85 and Provincial Road 222, alongside a collection of beautifully evocative new tracks. The songs traverse four routes woven into the prairie landscape of Manitoba, the Canadian province where Samson lives. They are hymns for the departed and rockers for the living, songs about dying villages, Icelandic longing, snowplows, broken glass, satellites, hockey skates, and staff room romances.
The Weakerthans were born out of the Winnipeg-punk-scene. The group's breakthrough album Reconstruction Site and its celebrated follow up Reunion Tour deftly merged a melodic punk with Bob Dylan-Ray Davies lyrical insights, earning a wider fan base and establishing Samson as a songwriter of immense talent. Paste Magazine wrote of Reunion Tour, "If such a prize existed, it would be the leading candidate for this year's Punk Pulitzer."

New biosensor benefits from melding of carbon nanotubes, DNA
November 15, 2011
Purdue University scientists have developed a method for stacking synthetic DNA and carbon nanotubes onto a biosensor electrode, a development that may lead to more accurate measurements for research related to diabetes and other diseases.
Standard sensors employ metal electrodes coated with enzymes that react with compounds and produce an electrical signal that can be measured. But the inefficiency of those sensors leads to imperfect measurements.
Carbon nanotubes, cylindrically shaped carbon molecules known to have excellent thermal and electrical properties, have been seen as a possibility for improving sensor performance. The problem is that the materials are not fully compatible with water, which limits their application in biological fluids.
Marshall Porterfield, a professor of agricultural and biological engineering and biomedical engineering, and Jong Hyun Choi, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, have found a solution. Their findings, reported in the journal The Analyst, describe a sensor that essentially builds itself.
"In the future, we will be able to create a DNA sequence that is complementary to the carbon nanotubes and is compatible with specific biosensor enzymes for the many different compounds we want to measure," Porterfield said. "It will be a self-assembling platform for biosensors at the biomolecular level."
Choi developed a synthetic DNA that will attach to the surface of the carbon nanotubes and make them more water-soluble.
"Once the carbon nanotubes are in a solution, you only have to place the electrode into the solution and charge it. The carbon nanotubes will then coat the surface," Choi said.
The electrode coated with carbon nanotubes will attract the enzymes to finish the sensor's assembly.
The sensor described in the findings was designed for glucose. But Porterfield said it could be easily adapted for various compounds.
"You could mass produce these sensors for diabetes, for example, for insulin management for diabetic patients," Porterfield said.
Porterfield said it may one day be possible to develop other sensors using this technology that could lead to more personalized medicines that could test in real time the effectiveness of drugs on their targets as with cancer patients.
Porterfield said he would continue to develop biosensors to detect different compounds.
The National Institutes of Health and the Office of Naval Research funded the research.

Fine, but overrated Pacino vehicle directed by Lumet.
Hannah Jackson
If anything, it's underrated. None of my friends have heard of it even though I think it's an utterly brilliant film.

Agreed with the previous comment. Overrated would be something like Scarface, an okay movie whose presence as a pop culture institution is rather annoying, but not a movie that most people seem to have forgotten about.

The only reason why i watched this film was because by sheer chance the dvd happened to be in a bookshelf an ex house mate left over. Noone told me to watch it and i definitely hadnt heard of the movie until then. Upon watching it i felt confused and dazed because the movie was so incredible and al pacino was so brilliiant but noone had ever told me about it. Surely if it was overrated then i wouldve at least heard of it.

Forget Air Jordan, keep an eye for Hair Oduro as Toronto FC player changes coifs
TORONTO - Dominic Oduro's hair care regimen is more complicated than most. But the carefully coiffed Toronto FC winger-forward says he has it down to an art.
"It takes five minutes, let's put it that way," the Ghana native said Wednesday. "I've got to look a little bit pretty."
The 28-year-old's current hairdo is a mohawk tinged with red.
But Oduro, who joined Toronto earlier this month in a trade from Columbus, promises variety.
"I just want to entertain people," he said. "This sport is all about entertainment and why not entertain with my hair. That's how I see it so I just want to do something crazy to my hair almost every home game — if my hair will let me."
Past hairstyles included a pink mohawk with a pink ribbon logo etched on the side for breast cancer awareness month. He has also had his hair styled in Ghana's colours and those of Columbus.
A pizza-lover, he has also worn a slice of pizza design in his hair.
With 46 goals in 229 career MLS regular season games, Oduro can also entertain in other ways on the field.

Up To £30 Free Matched Bet
Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath has confirmed that he is happy to let midfielder Petr Jiracek join Bundesliga rivals Hamburg.
Jiracek only joined Wolfsburg from Viktoria Plzen on a four-and-a-half year contract last December, but appears to have failed to impress Magath.
Hamburg have shown an interest and Magath expects the 26-year-old to finalise his departure before the transfer window closes.
"The issue will be cleared up this weekend," said Magath. "Hamburg want him and we are in a situation where we can do without him.
"And now the player wants to go to Hamburg too."
Jiracek was part of the Czech Republic squad at Euro 2012 and scored twice in four appearances as his side reached the quarter-finals.

2014 Alumni Gatherings
The 2014 Annual Reunion starts August 29th this year with the annual "Leading the Legacy" Golf Tournament at Comanche Trails golf course. Click here for a link to sign up for yourself and your team.
Saturday morning starts with both the fishing derby at the Ranch and the Old Timer's Breakfast at Furrs on Soncy. Following the Rodeo that afternoon CFBRAA will have its annual meeting in the Grand Plaza Room of the Cal Farley's Civic Center in Amarillo.
This year we will recognize Lamont and Frances Waldrip as distinguished staff and Rodney Ruthart as distinguished alumni. Other recognitions will include those who have reached Legacy Partner levels, scholarship recipients, class reunions, and a tribute to those we have lost in the past year.
An essential part of the Annual Meeting is the Silent Auction where we will be raising funds for helping alumni families in times of crisis. Click here for information about how you can partifcipate in the auction. You can already bid on items which have been submitted for the auction. Click here to see items and make your bids.
Sunday morning the Board of Directors will be having a lengthy retreat to outline plans for making the next year the best in Association history.
Following the Sunday Rodeo performance we will have the annual picnic t the Dipple Center on the Ranch.
All alumni will want to come by the Dipple Center on Saturday and/or Sunday to pick up Rodeo tickets.
Click here for a link to a schedule of events for the weekend.
The host hotel this year will be the Holiday Inn Full Service Hotel on Amarillo Blvd between Coulter and Soncy (8231 West Amarillo Blvd. (Take the Coulter exit and head west on the frontage road. Entrance is on the West side of the Kabuki restaurant.) Make your reservations under the Boys Ranch Alumni Assn.group and the cost is $89/night for an Executive Kingsize bed. We have 30 rooms so make your reservations soon. You must call the Hotel to get the group rate: 806-322-4777. They will release unbooked rooms on August 8th.
Alumni Veterans Memorial T-Shirts
Click this link to order your T-Shirt. The more ordered, the greater percentage goes to fund the memorial at BR.
$1,636 raised so far!
Board Approves New
2014-15 Operating Budget
The Association Board of Directors received and approved a new operating budget for the coming fiscal year, 2014-15. The Finance Committee proposed the balanced budget, which is 31% higher than the previous year. The two increases are Scholarships and an external audit. The policies of the Association require an external audit every five years, and that will happen this summer. The DFW Golf Tournament generated an additional $10,000 for scholarships which is included in next year's budget. See the approved budget here.
We will use this column to keep you informed about news, as we get it in Bobby's office (email@example.com), on what's going on with the alumni of Boys Ranch and Girlstown as well as happenings at Cal Farley's If you have news to share, send it in.
8231 West Amarillo Blvd
Contact the Holiday Inn by August 8th an make your reservation. Ask for the Cal Farley's Alumni Group Rate of $89. This Holiday Inn is located behind Kabuki restaurant between Coulter and Soncy.
The Silent Auction will have some different features this year. There will be opportunities to bid on some items...generally those valued over $100. Then there will be opportunities to purchase tickets and put them in jars at each item. At the end of the auction, a ticket will be pulled from the jar and the winner will claim the prize. Tickets will cost either $5 or $1 (5 $5 tickets for $20; 7 $1 tickets for $5). Hence you could win the item for the cost of one ticket. Again, all proceeds will go to the Crisis Support fund to help alumni families.

In a story on "60 Minutes," author Michael Lewis claims that Wall Street has transformed into a conduit where people who do the actual trading of stocks, bonds, etc., on the market are making fractions of a penny at millions of trades per second. This claim also stipulates that offers for tickets, for example, on StubHub, will display $20/ticket. You choose that, but in a matter of seconds, by the time you're ready to checkout, the price goes out without your knowledge.

Lawyer jokes
Watch it. They can end up getting you arrested.
Heard this on the way in to work this morning, and was very surprised - though I probably shouldn't be. Obviously this story could be a little funny based on the various sources / persons involved making differing statements, but it kind of smacks of not being able to do anything, anymore. Next thing'll be that people will get sued for having their eyes closed while listening to their iPods on the subway.
Q:How can you tell the difference between road kill and a lawyer?
A: Road kill will have skid marks in front of it.
Oh, wait a moment--there's a knock at my door. I'll be back in just a min......
Arrested? I know some jokes that would get me the chair.

A 145-acre Prescribed Fire Burned in the West Fork Thursday
The West Fork Ranger District set off a 145-acre prescribed blaze Thursday, May 1.
The West Fork Ranger District set off a 145-acre prescribed blaze Thursday, May 1.
Work to minimize erosion on the Bass Creek Trail will be ongoing through the month of May, according to the Bitterroot National Forest.
The Bitterroot National Forest is issuing 2014 personal firewood permits starting April 1, but that doesn't mean you can get to the cutting areas.
The Bitterroot National Forest has suggested reauthorizing grazing on areas of the Sleeping Child and Two Bear Creeks.
Starting February 24, Road #10001 on the Sula Ranger District will close until April.
Ice fishing, skating or walking on the frozen Lake Como northwest of Darby is not advised. In fact, driving to the lake is hazardous.
At the Ravalli County Museum Thursday evening at 6 p.m. another presentation on "Field and Forest" will be free to the public as part of the Natural History exhibit.
Bitterroot National Forest officials are taking the National Weather Office wind warning seriously.
Skiers, snowmobilers, and other winter recreationists can now get important forest information right at their fingertips, thanks to new digital visitor maps available for their mobile devices.
The Bitterroot National Forest is inviting the public to review and make comments on a watershed improvement and travel management project on the Darby Ranger District.

Movie News
Walterego tells us all about.... THEM!!!
Harry here on a quick secret daylight raid of coolness, figured I'd get a few SXSW reviews up. I'm DYING TO SEE THIS MOVIE! Here it is...
Review of THEM follows: The SXSW film festival began Friday night in Austin, TX, and one of the first movies screened at the Alamo Drafthouse South was the French suspense-horror film THEM (originally titled ILS for its 2006 release in France). For those AICN readers who don't already know about the Alamo Drafthouse theatres, one of its great features is that food and beers are served to you in your seat during the movie. The best way to describe how suspenseful and unnerving THEM was would be to say that my Royale With Cheese burger was delivered to me 15 minutes into the movie and when THEM ended about an hour later, I hadn't taken a single bite (THEM clocks at a brisk 77 min). As the credits rolled and the ushers came in to tidy up I finally ate my by then cold burger. Normally when you watch a horror film at 9:30 on a Friday night you hear a fair amount of audience chatter and noise like little shrieks or giggles. This audience sounded like 70 people trying not to breathe. I knew next to nada about the film because the synopsis offered by the SXSW website simply said it depicted a young married French couple living near Bucharest, Romania who are menaced in their isolated house by intruders. The two French guys who co-wrote/directed it, David Moreau and Xavier Palud, haven't made any other films which would have provided me with an idea as to their style of horror. I did read they are currently filming the remake of the Hong Kong ghost movie THE EYE, so I thought before the movie that the intruders might be supernatural in nature. Not so. This French pair are apparently devotees of the notion that low budget horror just needs to keep it ultra-simple. This movie is the polar opposite of HAUTE TENSION, which had too many bizarre plot twists for its own good. THEM clocks in at a brisk 77 min. Moreau/Palud realize that one of the most effective ways to grab and hold an audience's attention is to have the protagonists simply listen carefully while they try to figure out who is threatening them, where they are, and how many of them are there. Lucas (Michael Cohen) and Clementine (Olivia Bonamy, a dead ringer for Angie Harmon from Law & Order) are awoken at 3 am by a noise downstairs. What else can the couple do but check it out? The "they" in THEM are not mutants or cultists possessed by Satan, they are simply nameless, faceless characters wearing hooded jackets/sweatshirts who are out to play a game of cat and mouse before killing their targets. They never speak until the end, and we don't see the edged weapons they carry, instead we hear them scrape and tap them against pipes, doors, and walls. The most effective device used by THEM is a click-clack noise device like you'd spin on New Year's Eve. The movie opens with a woman and her teenage daughter in a minivan driving along a dark street flanked on either side by tall hedgerows. She swerves to avoid something darting across the road and hits a streetlight pole. The mother checks under the hood while the daughter, who looks like a Romanian Elisha Cuthbert, cranks the engine. Her perspective is completely blocked by the hood, so she can't see her mother anymore. The mother stops answering, and when Kim Bauer-ski gets out to holler in Romanian: "mom?" There is no one there to reply. When she keeps yelling into the shadowy hedges, that click clack noise comes out of them, and then a male voice whispers back "mom" in a taunting tone. She rushes back into the minivan and but locking the doors doesn't work well because "They" have the mom's door-unlock remote key now. Bad times ensue. It is a cliched setup, but it works because its delivered convincingly and without irony. I've seen that scenario I don't know how many times but I was still in suspense as soon as the hood blocked the view of what was happening outside the minivan. These directors aren't trying to reinvent the wheel, they are just trying to deliver solid tension from tried and true predicaments and acting that seems authentic to how reasonable people would behave. There is absolutely no gore and much of the violence is implied without being shown. When we are introduced to Clementine the following day, she drives from her job as a French teacher at a Bucharest school and passes by the minivan being towed away by Romanian police. I've never seen modern Bucharest in a movie, and it seems beautiful and gothic like Prague, but more medieval. I noticed a horse drawn cart puttering down the street in the periphery of one wide shot. Just after passing the minivan, Clementine turns down a long driveway to her house and we realize she lives very close to the scene of the previous night's crime. When she answers the phone just before she goes to bed and hears only disquieting sounds and that click-clack noise maker, we know that "They" have started their game again but Clementine doesn't know what to make of it and goes to bed. She and her husband are renting one of those European manor homes with 20 foot high ceilings and doorways tall enough for Herman Munster. The house is apparently about a century old but not dilapidated, like it was built to last in the pre-communist era. The door to Lucas and Clementine's bedchamber has a heavy bolt that is so sturdy it seems built to lock out Dracula himself. You'd think it was the gate to Minas Tirith. But earlier in the evening, while Clem and Lucas chat with each other about the novel he's writing , we notice how vulnerable and open the rest of the house is, ringed with huge windows that the couple aren't particular about latching, and surrounded by high forest which sound echoes through, making it impossible to pinpoint its source. The house has the creepiest attic since BLACK CHRISTMAS. By the time Clem and Lucas awaken after 3 am to a noise (and we aren't sure if it is downstairs or outside), it feels as though the entire house could have been penetrated in the hours that the couple were asleep. Horror fans know the weapons villains use (Jason's machete, Leatherface's chainsaw, Freddy's glove, etc) but seldom concern ourselves with the weapons that protagonists use other than Ash's boomstick/chainsaw combo. Mainly the hero characters are totally inept at using guns. When they try to use a gun, they miss, run out of ammo, jam, forget the safety, and they drop guns so much you'd think they were made of wax greased with butter. So what are the effective protagonist weapons? One would be the handy dandy kitchen knife. A well stocked kitchen is a potential arsenal of things that stab, clobber, or burn, and horror directors appreciate that they can't be used until the villain is at point blank range. But the French couple don't get to their kitchen (Zut alors! Jacques Pepin would have a cleaver and carving fork in each hand at the first sign of trouble), instead they opt for that other stalwart sidearm of home defense: the fireplace poker. So few homes have a working fireplace and yet in horror films those pokers are everywhere. It makes sense in THEM because of the archaic look of the house. The house's TV is even a black & white model for some reason. Now here I come to the only faults that people are likely to find with this movie, other than the lack of gore or nudity. The movie takes pains to do two things, first, to emphasize that the movie is based on actual events. It tells us the exact date, October the 6th and 7th in 2002, that the events occurred near Bucharest. Secondly, it avoids showing who "They" are until the very end. However, since THEM was released in France in 2006, there are plenty of film discussion forums which contain spoilers about how the "actual events" aren't exactly as portrayed in the film, since the filmmakers originally heard of the incident from some cabdriver in the Czech Republic. Also , who "They" are might strike some as a trifle implausible. However, if you watch the film without reading those spoilers, you will find that such issues are trivial. I knew that WOLF CREEK took a great many liberties with the incidents it was "based" on, and that didn't stop me from being very depressed by the sadistic suffering the characters endured. If you make the mistake of reading the spoilers, however, it will make it impossible to view certain scenes as credible. Which would be a shame, because the film's abilities to scare the crap out of you is dependent on the way that its scenes seem so very authentic, like it could happen anywhere, most especially in an isolated suburb in rustic Romania. -Walterego.

The movie is indeed pretty scary
by Marsellus
I saw it last year, when it was released. It really is creepy, very minimalist, like a Blair Witch Project-like movie but not shot by mongolians. The only thing that disturbed me about Ils (or Them, if you prefer), is the reason why the directors made it. I read in an interview that they decided to make a low budget horror flick just because that's the kind of movie thanks to what you can get noticed by the industry. You see, if I were to direct a low budget horror flick one day (and I hope it'll happen), I wouldn't do it just to break into the movie industry and be hired to direct another fucking remake of an Asian horror film. I would direct it because I just love the genre, without giving a damn about "what good effect it could have on my career". But apart from that, the movie is pretty well done, and definetly worth seeing.

by Danny_H
Why is it that every mofo on this site spends far too much time speaking about either themselves and / or a scene by scene description of the film - the whole 'geek' gonzo thing has gone too far. Give us a proper 'review' with some informed comment and the good grace to leave the finer points of the plot up to ourselves to work out. I don't need some geek preaching to me about how the director was their childhood hero to make up my mind whether or not I will go and see a film. Sort it out!

Yup, that is the great "twist ending" above. (Spoiler)
by JackPumpkinhead
The spoiler above is the true ending of this pretty mediocre film (mediocre but definitely better than that plagiarized crap Haute Tension - but what isn't?) I can even post the last lines of this film - so, SPOILER, SPOILER, STAY AWAY, SPOILER, SPOILER FOLLOWS! ---> OK, here goes: [[["After the investigation, the murderers were arrested in the Snagov region. They were between the age of 10 and 15. During the first interrogation the youngest amongst them declared: THEY wouldn't play with us."]]] <--- SPOILER ENDED, SPOILER OVER.

The minor "twist" at the end..(spoiler)
by Walterego
(Spoiler) The intruders are not really 10 year olds, they are teenagers. Just before the credits roll, some subtitles announce that police apprehended the remaining members of this gang and said that the were all aged between 10-15. So the movie is claiming that at least one was 10 and the rest were about 15. This is simply ridiculous because these would have to be the biggest 15 year olds I've ever seen. They are just as tall as Clementine, the french woman, as you can see in the trailer. They are big enough to drag a full grown man and singlehandedly pin an adult woman to the ground. In the opening scene they obviously drag off an adult woman in seconds and hold a 18 year old to her carseat. This problem with the movie could easily be fixed by just changing the subtitles to read that the intruders were aged more like 16-18. Or they could just get rid of the "twist" completely, since the whole notion that this movie is based on actual events is (SPOILER no.2) probably total BS. I've looked it up, and people in France and Bucharest don't recall anything like this happening in 2002. When I watched the end I assumed that some of the intruders (the ones offscreen) were adults and only the ones we had seen so far were teens. And those young ones looked at least 16 to me, so the end subtitles annouced their ages, I thought, "Oh, creepy..huh...waitaminute, seriously? WTF?" The point is that this movie is still extremely suspenseful and not lame at all, so long as when they start rolling those final epilogue subtitles, I advise that you just ignore what they say. I don't know why there has to be a "twist" at all in suspense films these days, this one didn't need it at all, it was perfect literally up to the last 15 seconds when those subtitles popped up. Otherwise when I was this again I'll be thinking that the couple should just get a couple knives and barricade themselves in some room. The reason they don't is because the intruders keep themselves hidden so much of the time, which is what works so well in your imagination while watching THEM, and the few glimpses they have the intruders are clearly of adult height and weight. Like at one point we see the boots of one of "them" stalking Clementine in the attic, and the sound of his feet on the floorboards sounds like Hulf Hogan is walking towards her. So it's like the movie wanted to have it both ways: large threatening antagonists, but also a tacked-on twist that makes them seem not so large or threatening.

Just for the sake of comparison
by IJUSTLIKEMOVIES
Is this flick worse than its bad Euro horror brother, Calvaire? (and no offense to fans of the recent string of Euro horror films, I have yet to be impressed.)
March 11, 2007, 6:37 p.m. CST
re: no offense

Who wants this crap? GIVE ME GIANT ANTS INSTEAD!
by Triumph poops!
SPECTRE Agent and RobinP, I'm with you. I want a remake of the one and only movie worthy of being called THEM!, which is without question one of the top 5 monster movies of all time. Supposedly Warner Bros. greenlit a big budget remake and Joe Johnston, given his effects background, was set to direct. He was supposed to go straight into THEM! after JURASSIC PARK 3. I don't know what happened, but I'm guessing JP3's lackluster performance killed that deal, sending the remake back into development hell.
But hopefully now that Universal is going ahead with a big budget Americanized remake of THE HOST -- and given how Hollywood loves to copy what the other guy is doing, to hedge their bets -- maybe as Warners sees that going into production they'll think to themselves "Hey, maybe people WOULD like to see a good old-style big ass monster movie", at which point they'll revive the remake. But I totally agree that with today's SFX technology, an all-out Army vs. giant mutated ants movie would kick serious ass and get my butt into the theater during the summer. Several times, in fact!

Ant Sounds
by JohnIan
Growing up I lived next to the train tracks. I wouldn't find out until later that the sound effect for the ants was train wheels. I remember the first time; walked home from school and heard the sound. That creeped me out. Anyhow; why a remake. How about a sequel? In the movie during Dr. Patricia Medford (Joan Weldon) briefing in Washington she speaks of a map, the locations of sighting as well as dead male ants. One of them is of particular importance, Dr. Medford: "The most recent finding was about four days ago, hear near Mt. Wilson in California. It was badly decomposed and we figured it've been there for perhaps a month to five weeks." There are two possibilities. One - that ant was merely a scout, it became lost and died on that mountain. Two - there is an undiscovered colony in Northern California. Hmmm? Have it set shortly after the L.A. incident. Could be cool.

It's really not that great. It's two dull characters creeping around in the dark followed by a shakycam. Seen it a million times. Just because it's French doesn't make it great cinema. Cool ending though.

How is this movie not lame with that onscreen text?

So, we have a cool suspenseful mysterious film with some out-of-your-ass ending that doesn't support the weight of the film that came before it?
How can people criticize "The Village" and yet drool all over this Frenchy-twisty film?

Sauvage Love-------
Adrien Sauvage is an unusual multi-talent—a former basketball player turned London's coolest new suitmaker. Never mind that the photo essay/ad campaign he shot for the line, starring Mark Ronson (above), Coco Sumner (top), Bill Nighy, Terry Gilliam, and an 82-year-old former Harlem Globetrotter is called "This Is Not A Suit." And there's another talent still, for photography—"This Is Not A Suit" attracted enough attention from the British media that he's now fending off offers as a lensman. "For now, I will stick to the design thing," Sauvage said last night at the line's debut at Matches. "It's going so well."
Sumner was on hand for the event, as were Lily Allen and rocker-sartorialists like Louis Simonon (son of Clash guitarist Paul Simonon, and occasional Prada model) and These New Puritans' George Barnett, the rock drummer who's a favorite of Hedi Slimane (and has done turns on the Dior Homme runway). And so, of course, were plenty of sharp A.Sauvage suits as well. There are dashes of public schoolboy style—Prince of Wales check and fine cashmere, but also purple and orange trousers and sizing for the full-grown gent (a nod, perhaps, to Sauvage's own basketball-player's proportions). Coco, for her part, was holding out for a custom piece. She didn't get to keep the suit she modeled, but, she said, "I think he's making a waistcoat for me. At least I hope."
Meet The Art Rocker Moonlighting On The Men's Runways-------
George Barnett's first modelling job was Hedi Slimane's last show for Dior Homme in 2007. Since then, his wraith-pale, angular features have made him one of the most recognisable faces in men's fashion. He's got the saintly sinner look that appeals to designers like Alber Elbaz and Miuccia Prada. But modeling is moonlighting for him. His heart belongs to These New Puritans, the band he formed with his twin brother Jack, bassist Thomas Hein and keyboard player Sophie Sleigh-Johnson. Though Jack does the writing and singing, it's George's drumming that anchors the band's new album Hidden. It manages to sound complex (George says his hero is that crown prince of the paradiddle, Bill Bruford, once drummer for Yes and King Crimson), tribal and even a little medieval, all at the same time, which is actually a pretty reasonable description for the odd but alluring art rock of the Puritans. Give "Three Thousand," "Attack Music," or "Drum Courts – Where Corals Lie" a whirl while you think about George Barnett, living proof that it's handy to have Something Else to fall back on.

In 2005, Jason Williams and Ken Faught assembled a team of experienced racers and designers to create the driving experience at Pole Position Raceway. Williams, a motocross racer since 1984, and Faught, a three-time land-speed record holder at the Bonneville Salt Flats, recruited professional drivers Kurt Busch and Jeremy McGrath to help their engineers. They reimagined every detail of the track from the ground up, creating indoor courses that balance the grip of asphalt with the swervy fun of polished, concrete slick tracks. Pole Position?s Formula EK20 Pro Karts rumble over the track powered by 18-horsepower motors (nearly triple that of average gas karts), which reach speeds up to 45 miles per hour without filling the temperature-controlled arenas with fumes.
After the first Pole Position Raceway opened in Corona, California, it soon spawned 14 locations stretching to the Atlantic. Technicians maintain the fleet via handheld computers, and top drivers are regularly sent out to evaluate karts? handling and reading comprehension. During races, up to 12 guests compete in contests that last about 10 minutes.

After visiting with the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks (in that order), New York Knicks' free agent forward Carmelo Anthony flew to Los Angeles to visit with the Lakers.
While meeting with the Lakers, Anthony was very impressed and the Lakers did everything in their power to try to recruit Anthony's wife, La La. Whether or not they were able to do that is still in question, but former Laker great James Worth believes Anthony is still considering the Lakers.
Marc Berman of The New York Post has the scoop.
"I told Carmelo, I said, 'I wish your wife were here because she's more popular than you in Los Angeles.' We're trying to recruit her, because if you can get La La, Carmelo has no say-so. So, we're trying to get her to Hollywood.
"Hollywood is right here. She can do whatever she wants."
Thursday is the couple's wedding anniversary, and Vazquez tweeted to her husband: "You're stuck with me like glue.''
Worthy still believes Anthony is considering LA.
"Carmelo has an open mind,'' Worthy told Slam. "He knows this is a critical decision at this point in his career. He's 30 years old, so he can't be shopping around if he wants to win. I think it'll be New York or LA, and I think LA still has a shot. He lives there in the offseason anyway."
The Chicago Bulls have also recently back into the picture, mostly because of the efforts of Bulls' head coach Tom Thibodeau.
Anthony put up 27.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game and shot 45.2% from the field, 40.2% from beyond the arc and 84.8% from the free throw line last season.
