The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
China pulls 'Django Unchained' from theatres on opening day, citing 'technical problem'
BEIJING, China - "Django Unchained" became "Django Unscreened" as Quentin Tarantino's violent slave-revenge saga was pulled from Chinese theatres on its opening day, with the importer blaming an unspecified technical problem.
The rare suspension order by China Film Group Corp. was confirmed by theatre employees throughout China, and has led to speculation that the Hollywood film could have run afoul of Chinese censors despite weeks of promotion in the country.
Calls to the importer and to China's regulatory agency, the State Administration of Radio Film and Television, were unanswered. A spokesman for Sony Pictures, Steve Elzer, said the studio regrets the film's removal from theatres and is trying to see if it can be rescheduled.
"Django Unchained" reportedly cut some violent scenes and had already been cleared by China's rigorous censors, who generally remove violence, sex and politically edgy content. With such an exacting system, suspension on a film's premiere date is unusual.
Tian Zaixing, general manager of the Beichen Fortune Center movie theatre in the southern city of Kunming, said he could not recall any other imported film being halted on the opening day. The order from China Film Group came in a phone call around 10 a.m. Thursday, he said.
"We were excited about the film," he said. "We had had high expectations for this film's box office."
Tian said he had hoped the movie would bring about one-tenth of the monthly box office, or about 150,000 yuan ($24,000), to his six-screen theatre in April. Now, he must scramble to fill newly opened slots for screening.
"This means we might not be able to meet our box-office goal for the year," Tian said.
He dismissed speculation that a nude scene was the offending culprit.
"The censors have sharper eyes than we do," Tian said. "Shouldn't they have already spotted it?" He added the scene was not lewd at all but powerful in making the audience sympathetic toward one character.
The film stars actors well known to the Chinese audience: Leonardo DiCaprio as a plantation owner and Jamie Foxx as a freed slave who trains to become a bounty hunter and demands his wife's freedom before the U.S. Civil War.
It made more than $160 million at the North American box office and has proved successful overseas as well. China has risen to the second-biggest movie market with sales of $2.7 billion last year, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.
A man who is on the official promotional team for the film but refused to give his name because of the perceived sensibility of the issue said there had been no prior warning about the suspension and that the film's midnight premiere was unaffected.
Photographer Xue Yutao said he was about one minute into the movie at a Beijing theatre Thursday morning when a couple of theatre employees walked in and told the audience that the screening would be postponed. The announcer did not give a reason or say when the movie would be re-shown, Xue said.
"It was so sudden. I was very shocked," Xue said. "How could this be possible? Something like this has never happened before."
Xue said he resorted to a pirated copy of the film and did not see anything that would have offended Chinese censors.
"I'm not a noble man," the photographer said of his viewing of pirated movies. "I would still prefer to see it in the theatre."

And just to show you that things don't always go to plan, here's a few of the sillier bits from our first video shoot here in Fiji.
I'm in Fiji with Joshua Drew from Columbia University and his team of research students. We're soon heading out to our field site to start ths science!

:: Home > Blog > Madoff's Missing Millions and The Story No One Wants to Run
13. 09. 13. - 19:00
13. 09. 13. - 19:00
Not the usual location for a blog but this has been copied with permission from an article in today's United Kingdom Press Gazette entitled: "My five-month investigation into Bernie Madoff's missing billions, an international conspiracy and a story no newsdesk wants to run."
Corrupt Austrian bankers used a network of dodgy shell companies to help ponzi fraudster Bernie Madoff hide around $12bn which has yet to be tracked down.
This is the claim made by freelance journalist Michael Leidig in a book - Pyramid Games - which he has published himself today. Based on hundreds of highly confidential documents it claims that, far from acting alone as he alleges, Madoff had a network of international co-conspirators.
Here Leidig writes exclusively about his five-month investigation for the first time and reveals how he has insulated himself from libel risk by getting the book tabled as a question and call to action in the Austrian Parliament today (thus attracting privilege). He also details how no newsdesk could be persuaded to run with the story
"POLIZEI...You must come to the station IMMEDIATELY." The sort of thing no one wants to hear, especially not at midnight, shouted down the phone in German. I struggled to get my own German reply together, and to find my phone at the same time, it's dark outside, what the hell was the time anyway? As I started to form a reply in German in my head, and to shout back: "Do you know what time it is? What have I done?" The line went dead.
My name is Michael Leidig. And I am a journalist.
It means I live strange hours, deal with strange people and get my hands dirty with strange stories that I just can't seem to leave alone.
I am not tied to any newspaper, I run a NAPA accredited news wire agency and that makes me a glorified freelance, but a freelance nonetheless.
When six months ago I was handed hundreds of highly confidential documents that showed the inner workings of a major European bank and widespread evidence of corruption, I knew it was a big story. And I also knew it was one that I couldn't touch. My clients - whether it's the now defunct News of the World, the BBC or the Sunday Times Insight team - know me as a crime writer. Nothing fancy, just the standard mobsters and fraudsters.
The foreign desks know me, and keep the money coming for me to carry on.
Sometimes I might deal with the home desk, or features, maybe even the magazine sections. Business desks though have always been a maverick part of the newsroom, they don't seem to follow the same rules as the other desks. Maybe that's because the business desk is where the money is, a lot is spent on trying to get a mention in the pages they control, so the desks usually only work with people they know. They need to filter out the PRs.
This story was a classic business story, there was a conspiracy of bankers behind Bernie Madoff, the Wall Street trader who pulled off a $65 billion pyramid scheme, and then claimed he had acted alone. It was always going to be a long haul, every one of the documents was in specialist financial German, and I failed my 'O' level maths twice. I declined to take it, and went back to working on another project dealing in corruption: a botched kidnapping investigation which had allegedly been covered-up by the Austrian Justice Ministry because an election was coming up.
And bizarrely, that led back to the bank informant, and a mountain of evidence that it is now routine in Austria for any politically sensitive case to be buried, and concreted over, especially when an election is due. I agreed to take the case, and that meant finding a newspaper to run it, and pay the bills, and that meant in particular the legal bills. I was sure it would run, and I agreed to work with the respected investigations unit of a UK national. Two weeks into it they pulled out because it was "too American".
But by that time I had got my teeth into the story, it was just too big. I decided to carry on.
As the Bernie Madoff story unravelled itself in the paperwork it was clear I needed to find a financial expert, I signed a contract with a German journalist, Herman. When he saw a fraction of the files, he said: "I don't think you realise how big this is?" He was probably right. Three days later we had a meeting with our informant, or rather we were supposed to. He didn't show. Herman was terrified, expecting the whistleblower had been arrested and security services were on their way. The next day Herman didn't turn up, and I never saw him again.
But I did have a lot of other contacts. I managed to get some of those I trusted from previous stories together to form a panel to evaluate what we had: legal and financial experts. I travelled round Vienna interviewing people, checking the value of the material. Some of it was known, the big victory was getting access to official files through a back door, documents that in some cases matched what I had.
The investigators though didn't have the full documents, not in every case, but I did. The pages the investigators had were filed by the bank, but why had they not filed the whole document? If you had the full version the answer was obvious. And the pages they had filed and others I had collected showed the files had been gathered by a bank insider to present to the board, a man code-named the Last Mohican, were 100 per cent genuine.
But Vienna is like a village, everyone knows what everyone else is up to, and it is also the spying capital of the world. I've had a few run ins with the spooks before, like when I was looking into the Gadhafi family and their Austrian connections a few years back, but mostly the sort of tabloid non-Austrian stories we covered meant we were largely left alone.
I don't have any proof that this story was any different, I can only point out that this is the first time in living here since 1993 that I've ever had a problem with late-night phone calls. Or the fact that I had my office burgled on the one day when, after a 14-hour shift, exhausted, I had left my personal laptop and my regular business machine, and also my offline machine with all my confidential notes in the office overnight. They were not the newest machines, but they were the only three stolen of the dozen laptops that had been lying around.
But I had spent a fortune encrypting and password protecting them all, and they missed my off-site back-up files, so the investigation carried on. I am not a conspiracy theorist, I don't believe the threatening phone calls, office break-ins and so on were related, but they were a worry and a distraction.
That people were aware what I was doing was clear. I had an offer to fly business class to America to meet with certain people and discuss my book, or rather the paperwork for the book. It was not the trustee, and no concrete figure was mentioned, but the suggestion was that it would mean there would not need to be a reason to work too hard in the future. In America, there is a law that allows those that expose fraud to get a percentage of anything recovered. With the $65 billion Madoff fraud, even if that was only the paper value and the real value of the hard cash without fake profits was nearer $20 billion, it was still a lot of money.
However, the paperwork was not provided to make me rich, it was also not provided so it could destroy the financial institutes that had been manipulated by those named in the paperwork, or even really to help those who lost out get their money back. The informant told me he wanted justice, and I simply wanted to be the one to tell the story.
With more and more people waking up to what I was doing, I needed to get the case finished, and published. But then came the problem. This was not a one-line story, and if you are on a desk it was one where you needed to spend time making a decision. I spent 10 days chasing one UK national in between writing, only to be told "not one for us" by a newsdesk person I'd never heard of who it was clear had spent only minutes looking at it. The Americans were logical, but they told me they did not use freelances, the business there is different, they said.
It seemed that the only way to get this story out was through self-publishing. It was always going to be hard to tell as a feature because of the volume of material, but as a book it could work. There were an estimated three million people affected by the Madoff fraud, a lot of people that might want to know what I had and who would be prepared to pay for it. .
I feared that the many contacts I had worked with were not going to see a result. They had also put themselves at risk, some were senior officials, they did it because they wanted to make a stand.
I could never afford the legal costs to publish this alone. But then I met an Austrian MP, Hans-Joerg Jenewein, and he agreed to table a parliamentary question about my research, and immunise it through Parliamentary privilege.
Today that is exactly what happened. In many ways this is a new type of journalism and publishing, jublishing if you like. There was no professional sub-editor, just Michael Leidig. In fact the interviewer, researcher, reporter and translator were all Michael Leidig. It should not normally be possible to turn a complete project like this round in five months. I would not advise it.
The fact it has a State guarantee for the allegations for all media, criminal and civil legal actions does not mean I believe this should become the new way to publish and avoid the legal risks.
There are courts to make decisions on guilt, and prosecutors to prepare the evidence, and it is only because that system has broken down now that this last, final resort emerged. Austrians, and the world, have a right to know the facts, and to judge.
Obviously using a political party to do that will raise the suggestion that this is a political plot, even if it should be clear to anyone that reads it that it is an unbiased work.
The other side has a lot of money, the best lawyers, the best PR teams, and anything else money can buy. I published my book without the backing of a media group, I do not even have legal insurance. Anyone who says I was paid by bank rivals, victims or politicians can judge for themselves how much the information inside would have been be worth without the need to put myself or my family at risk.
During the instigation I saw concrete proof of one legal firm paying 25,000 Euros for one document. And I know how well my former investigative journalist friends are doing working now for private firms preparing reports read by a handful of directors.
I could have handed it over to the same lawyers, or travelled to America for a deal, or without risk seen that it was put on WikiLeaks. But Wikileaks is irresponsible, it does not care about the impact of what it releases, the vast amounts of paperwork we had gathered touched on many different matters but it was and is not the aim to destroy the bank. The other scandals it dealt with involved the same people, spreading it further would serve no purpose. Those named now by Parliamentary privilege will be cleared or convicted on their Bernie Madoff connections, and bringing other allegations will not change that.
Now that the project has been finished, all the paperwork has been shredded anyway, all the digital files erased and hard disks formatted to protect my sources. I can have them back, but only if I need to defend myself against a possible legal action, something that my lawyer Philip Jakober may have overlooked? Maybe nothing will happen, maybe nobody will read this? If that is the case I will no longer have the time or the money to ever do its like again.
If it was not for the fact I have a family, there would be no hesitation and no regrets. But I do and I am worried. What do I want? The purpose of writing this is not to get people to buy the book. But I don't want it to be ignored. I want people to share the story, to discuss it, and for a verdict to be delivered not behind closed doors, but in the court of public opinion. Only if that happens is anything going to change.
And I want it shared, because if there is one thing I do know from my journalism, it's that making something like this public is the best way to level the playing field.
And finally, if having a family is a reason not to do this, it's also a reason to do it. I have spoken to my son, aged eight, the message is that it's not just a question of having values, it's a question of living them as well. Austria is now my home, which means our home, and I don't want to be just another person that doesn't speak out. I want to give a voice to those who share my views, and to drag the dirty, rotten secrets of those with something to hide out into the sunlight.

How to Tie the Disco Midge
The ever-popular Disco Midge is the subject of Tim Flagler's weekly fly tying video. "It's a showy and very effective little pattern," says Flagler, "but it's still relatively easy to tie, even in the smallest of sizes."

The Life of a Poet
Poetry is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls, said Voltaire. But, what is the life of a poet? Buddha said – Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart give yourself to it. So that's one answer. But, there are as many answers to this question as there are poets in the world. And every story is potent in its way. In this panel discussion, Festival headliner poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil, festival featured poets Susan Rich and Regie Gibson, along with poet/publisher/Renaissance-man Doug Holder will share intimate details about how they came to this often difficult vocation, what sustains them, and how they negotiate their writing life with their non-writing life.
Panelist presentations will be followed by a Q & A facilitated by poet Jennifer Jean.

Sir Roger Norrington will conduct the Zurich Chamber Orchestra and SA National Youth Orchestra with clarinetist Robert Pickup as soloist on tour in January 2013.
Sir Roger Norrington, a leading light on the classical music scene for almost 50 years, will conduct the Zurich Chamber Orchestra with celebrated South African clarinetist Robert Pickup as soloist in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Stellenbosch and Cape Town in January 2013. In a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity selected members of the South African National Youth Orchestra will join them on their tour.
Sir Roger will conduct the opening concert of the Johannesburg International Mozart festival on Mozart's birthday, 27 January, giving regular concertgoers an opportunity of seeing this world renowned conductor with his highly acclaimed orchestra with members of our very own National Youth Orchestra.
They then give a concert the next night in Pretoria at the Unisa ZK Mathews Hall as part of the Unisa Music Foundation Concert Series. From there Sir Roger and the orchestra will celebrate the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra's 30th anniversary with a concert on Monday 29 January at the City Hall, Durban.
He will then fly to the Mother City to conduct a concert at the Endler Hall, Stellenbosch as part of the Endler Concert Series on Wednesday 31 January. His final appearance in the country will be at the New Apostolic Church in Silvertown, Athlone in Cape Town on Monday 1 February. Tickets will be available from Computicket.
Concert dates:
Zurich Chamber Orchestra
South African National Youth Orchestra
Sir Roger Norrington, Conductor
Robert Pickup, Clarinet
The programme for each concert will consist of the following:
For nearly 50 years Roger Norrington has been at the forefront of the movement for historically informed orchestral playing and is arguably one of the world's greatest conductors. Knighted in 1997, he sang and played the violin from a young age, and began to conduct at Cambridge. He studied at the Royal College of Music under Sir Adrian Boult and at the same time founded the first of several groups for the performance of early music, the Heinrich Schütz Choir. This was followed ten years later by the London Classical Players, which achieved worldwide fame with their dramatic recordings of the 9 Beethoven Symphonies. Works by Haydn, Mozart, Berlioz, Brahms, Bruckner, and many others followed, and established Norrington as a key exponent of historical style.
The Zurich Chamber Orchestra (ZKO) was established in immediately after the Second World war and is one of the leading ensembles of its kind. Regular invitations to international festivals, performances in the major musical centres of Europe, extended concert tours through various European countries as well as the United States and China bear witness to the Zurich Chamber Orchestra's worldwide reputation. Numerous critically acclaimed CDs document the ensemble's artistic work.
More than 50 members of the South African National Youth Orchestra (NYO) from all over the country will be performing under the baton of Sir Roger with the ZKO.
Supported by Pro Helvetia, Protea Hotel Parktonian and the Rupert Foundation.

Big Bear Lake, CA, February 12, 2014 – Today KBHR is airing the final installment of our retrospect on the case of Christopher Dorner. The three-minute segment airs at the top of every other hour on 93.3 FM, and features brief interviews with three Big Bear residents. They tell us what it was like to lead a school during a crisis, to be a concerned parent, and to get caught in the middle of a high speed car chase.
On Monday, February 10, the San Bernardino County District Attorney's office released a 59-page memo concluding that the deadly and non-deadly force used by law enforcement personnel in Angelus Oaks a year ago today was legally justified. The report reads, in part:
All of the actions of law enforcement were legally justified based on the choices made by Christopher Dorner….It should also be pointed out that Dorner was not killed by law enforcement or by the fire in the cabin. Dorner had the opportunity to surrender or escape throughout this incident, up to and including the point at which the fire started. He had windows and doors that were available to him even several minutes after the fire started at the cabin. He chose to kill himself rather than surrender to law enforcement and face trial for his crimes. His death is not the result of the actions of the law enforcement personnel at the scene, but the result of his own actions and choice.

We often hear that "reality has a well-known liberal bias." Public opinion, on the other hand, has a well-known bias in favor of ignorance and jingoism. The truth is usually evident, but will not be accepted until much later. This is especially true when the truth turns out to be unpleasant or (even worse) expensive.

Slowly but surely, the NWSL is taking shape. Now that the league and all of its teams now have names, some of the finer details are coming to light. The latest formal announcement was that the college draft will be held on Jan. 18 and consist of four rounds, with the order being determined by random draw.
Of potentially higher interest, though, is the report from Equalizer Soccer that gives some rough details of how the national team players from the United States, Canada and Mexico will be allocated. Each of the eight teams will draw up a list of which players they'd prefer to have and the roughly 52 players will draw up a list of which teams they'd prefer to play for. A third-party -- neither U.S. Soccer nor the teams -- will then play matchmaker and allocate the players. This will reportedly happen sometime before the start of the NSCAA convention on Jan. 16. The process is similar to the one that WPS used to allocate its players.
The remaining players will apparently have to fit into a $200,000 salary cap, with each player drawing some kind of salary. With rosters expected to be between 18-20 players, 6-7 of which will be subsidized, that leaves anywhere from 11-14 players needed to be paid out of that pot. That would put average salaries somewhere in the $14,000-$18,000 range.

This is popular crag with mostly short, consistently overhanging sport routes. Most of the routes are in the 5.11 to 5.12 range. The belay/starting ledge is quite exposed, so make sure to stay tied in out there to avoid a tragedy. Enjoy!
Getting There
Approach is the same as for High Wire crag. From High Wire continue to the left or south side of the rock and follow a small trail over the ridge. Go down maybe 50 feet until you see this extremely overhung formation. The belay ledge below the climbs is a forth class ledge which has some fixed ropes and belay bolts to clip in to. A fall from the ledge will send you 100 feet down some jagged rocks to the creek so be careful and check the fixed lines before trusting them implicitly.

Egypt pro-democracy bloc calls for fresh week of protests
By Hussein Qabani, Thursday, April 10, 2014
CAIRO – The pro-democracy National Alliance for the Defense of Legitimacy has called for a fresh week of demonstrations against last summer's ouster of elected president Mohamed Morsi by the army.
In a Thursday statement, the alliance called on followers to stage demonstrations countrywide to voice their rejection of "all measure that aim to spark chaos and destruction".
It went on to call on supporters to prepare for what it described as a "revolutionary leap."
Egypt has been dogged by instability since the army unseated Morsi, the country's first freely elected president, last July following massive protests against his administration.
Pro-democracy protesters have been staging almost daily rallies ever since.

Insulating a cathedral ceiling
I am building a timber frame barn in zone 6 (Vermont), part of which is insulated. We hope to use recycled or seconds of polyisocyanurate in 4x8 sheets. The roof from the inside has 6x6 rafters, 7/8" T&G pine boards, moisture barrier, 2 layers of 3" polyiso, taped and foamed in cracks, 2x4 strapping screwed through the insulation into the rafters, another moisture or rain barrier, plywood underlayment nailed to the 2x4s, creating a 1.5" vent space, finally metal standing-seam roof. My questions are:
1. Is this a good way to go?
2. Do I need a vent space created by the 2x4s. Recently I read that vent spaces are not needed, but I also read that T&G ceilings are very permiable.
3. Is the compressive strength of the polyiso enough to withstand the installation (people walking on it) and the compression of the screwed down strapping.
4. We could also add a final layer of 1" or 2" "blue board" for additional srength. Is that necessary?

Edited Thu, 03/13/2014 - 13:53
You'll end up with about R-36. That's less than the minimum code requirements (R-49 in climate zone 6, according to the 2009 IRC).
I suggest that you include a layer of roofing underlayment under the metal roofing. Asphalt felt is fine.
You have to have a tight air barrier. The best place to locate that air barrier is near the bottom of your roof assembly. You need to know which layer is your air barrier. I don't know what you mean by a "moisture barrier" above your T&G ceiling; but if you make that either Ice & Water Shield, or a taped European air barrier membrane, that would work.
The vent space if fine; there are several reasons why it is a good idea. But if you are short of money, it makes more sense to add a third layer of 3-inch polyiso than it does to build a vent channel.
The polyiso has enough compressive strength of this application.

Transition in Tripoli
Libyan outcome promising for liberal alliance
TRIPOLI -- Libya's first nationwide elections in nearly five decades brought hints of an Arab Spring precedent: Western-leaning parties making strides over Islamist rivals hoping to follow the same paths to power as neighbouring Egypt and Tunisia.
While final results from Saturday's parliamentary election could still be days away, unofficial and partial counts from Libya's biggest cities suggested liberal factions were leading the Muslim Brotherhood in a possible setback to their political surge following last year's uprisings.
If the Libyan trend holds, it would challenge the narrative of rising Islamist power since the fall of Western-allied regimes from Tunis to Cairo. It could also display the different political dynamics in Libya, where tribal loyalties run deep and groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood at times co-operated with the rule of Moammar Gadhafi.
"Anyone with past ties with the old regime is hated, even despised," said Fathi al-Fadhali, a pro-Islamist Libyan political analyst who lived in exile for 30 years. "Any political names associated with the regime are immediately politically burnt by that association."
Ultimately, the 200-seat parliament will face the task of forming a government -- which could become tests of strength for Islamists and secular forces over questions such as women's rights, the extent of traditional Islamic law and relations with the U.S. and other Western nations that helped bring down Gadhafi.
U.S. President Barack Obama congratulated Libyans on the vote, calling it "another milestone on their extraordinary transition to democracy." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon praised the people of Libya and the candidates who "contested the election in a peaceful, democratic spirit," according to his spokesman.
Now, the ballots have to be portioned out according to two categories: Eighty seats are set aside for party lists, and the remaining 120 are decided by the results from the head-to-head races among thousands of candidates.
In the first group, a liberal alliance led by the former rebel prime minister Mahmoud Jibril appeared to hold more than half the seats in the capital Tripoli and the revolution stronghold of Benghazi, according to several party representatives.
In western Libya, where Jibril's tribe, the Warfalla, is prominent, his party also was on the top in early counts, the political officials said. In Libya's third-largest city, Misrata -- which was besieged by Gadhafi forces for weeks -- an upstart faction of local politicians appeared to hold the lead in another possible blow to Islamists.
Faisal Krekshi, secretary general of Jibril's Alliance of National Forces, said results were based on reports by party representatives at ballot-counting centres across the vast desert nation of six million people. Even officials from rival Islamist parties -- the Muslim Brotherhood's Justice and Construction Party and the Islamist Al-Watan -- described Jibril's alliance as the biggest winner in the race for the 80 party seats.
Shortly before the voting, Libya's grand mufti issued a religious edict prohibiting Libyans from voting for secularists. Meanwhile, independent candidates are seen as possible wildcards and could punish both the Muslim Brotherhood and Jibril's factions for having former ties to the Gadhafi regime.
Speaking to reporters, Jibril vowed to "commit ourselves to what the commission will announce officially" and urged for all political factions to work toward "national consensus."
Fathi Bin Essa, a prominent political analyst, described the elections as only a "rehearsal" to show "who has the real power in the street."
The run-up to the voting, too, showed the political complexities of trying to accommodate all sides.
Jibril's liberal alliance of about 40 groups emphasized the need for a "civil democratic" state, but said that Islamic Sharia law should guide legislation.

Not this time. A team from the west beat a team in the east at 1 ET. It was a close game throughoout the whole contest having 3 lead changes in the game. Denver came back in the 2nd half down by 6 points and put up 17. The defense only gave up one score in the 2nd half to help. The Broncos got the win in the Georgia Dome with a score of 24-20.
Now lets look at what I saw in the game.
Things I Was Happy With:
Jay Cutler: Once again, Jay Cutler puts together another game winning drive on the road to get the job done. Jay made good decisions and made the plays he had to make. The bomb to Brandon Marshall was a perfectly placed ball. Deep and only where Brandon could catch it. Cutler also threw great touch passes as well, like the one to Nate Jackson. Jay is showing great poise in tough environments and is getting the job done. It was also nice to see him blocking on some of the plays, too.
Spenser Larson: Wow! Another rookie steps up and makes play for this team. Starting on both sides of the ball and special teams. This guy wants to do everything he can to help this team win. I say let this guy play the rest of the year at MLB. Racking up 7 tackles and 6 of them were solo. He has a nose for the ball and I think he can develope into a force on defense.
Peyton Hillis: Once again, Hillis had his third staight beast of a game. He averaged 4.4 yards a carry and caught 3 passes with some great gains after the catch. He was running over the whole falcons defense and bulldozered over every single Falcon player out there, it seemed. Good job Peyton!
Eddie Royal: This kid is just electric on kick returns. He gave the Broncos great field position on a few of the drives and took some pressure of the offense He only caught 4 passes, but some of those are hard catches for WR to make. Eddie also ran a few reverses and showed how versitile he is. Royal and Marshall could develope into one of the best WR combos in history!
Wesly Woodyard: Another rookie stepping up and making plays. "Ball-hawk" is the only way to describe this kid. 9 total tackles, second on the team, and showing he he should have been drafted. A+ W.W.
Run Defense: Going against one of the best rushing footabll teams in the league, the Broncos did a pretty good job of stopping the run. Yes, they did give up 114 yards, but it seemed that the Falcons could not get the run game going. I was quite happy with the defense in that area of the game.
Not So Happy With:
No Sacks, Once Again: The defensive line has been doing a better job lately, but it still can not come up with ONE sack! But this line is young, so i think I need to give it some more time.
Playcalling: I have been happy with most of the calls Mr. Bates has been calling so far, but some just make no sense to me. The reverse/end-around on 3rd and one seemed dumb because I think Peyton Hillis can get that yard and more. Also, on another 3rd down, the Broncos run a dive play with Tatum Bell and he is stopped short. Again, Hillis could have made the 1st down. Other than that, the playcalling has been pretty good. The trick plays are o.k. every once in a while, but the Broncos are calling them way too much for my taste.
Penalties: I don't know if 6 penalties for 36 yards is bad too you, but I think it is unacceptable. Maybe it is because I have high expectations for this team, but 6 penalties just seems too much.
I thought the Broncos played one of their better games defensively this year, and the offense got the job done by not turning the ball over. It is looking like the team has really learned from the mistakes they made early on this season. The Broncos are now up 2 games in the AFC West and, I think, can keep it that way for the rest of the year if they keep playing good football. That's all I got. GO BRONCOS!

As usual Bill was hilarious, biting, on point and went straight for the juggular. I still can't understand why for the life of me people would get up and leave half way into the show. Did they not know what they were coming to hear? Bill deserves more respect than that. He was fabulous and I look forward to seeing him again on HBO and live wherever he plays! BTW the venue was beautiful, if you have the chance walk the grounds and check out the art and architecture while you're there and the free shuttle buses were aplenty and in large quantities. A+

Bill was irreverent, insulting and funny as all get out. Definitely not the showman to see if you are delicate and easily offended.

He was as irreverant as ever. The only problem I had is that I am totally out of touch with current events, so some of the jokes went over my head.

Bill Maher does what he does and does it fairly well. He chides people in power and has strong views about religion, with a presentation much like what we see on TV. Interesting to learn about the magic underwear of the Mormons.
