Film Review: Aberration (2013)
SYNOPSIS: Christy seems like your somewhat average high school student with the exception of the fact that she has the ability to see ghosts. When someone starts killing off her classmates she tries to figure out who is responsible for the murders with the help of the spirit of a mysterious little boy who is somehow connected to the deaths.
Film Review: Sleepless (2001)
SYNOPSIS: After a seventeen year break a serial killer picks up where he left off, prompting the son of one of his earlier victims and a retired police detective to team up to stop him once and for all.

Film Review: Profile of a Killer (2012)
SYNOPSIS: While looking into a series of grisly murders a retired FBI profiler is kidnapped by the killer and forced to profile him. REVIEW: I didn't really care for Profile of a Killer, but then again I am not exactly what you would call its target audience. As most of you know I am more into slasher flicks and hard core horror movies that are full of blood, guts, and awesome death scenes. This movie … Continue reading
Film Review: Deathrow Gameshow (1987)
SYNOPSIS: The host of a controversial TV game show that features the deaths of its death row inmate contestants deals with hate mail, protestors, and an angry mob family who have put a hit out on him for killing one of their own on national television.

Film Review: The Clown Murders (1976)
SYNOPSIS: A group of annoying friends play a prank on one of their equally unlikable pals by all dressing up like clowns and kidnapping his wife on Halloween. The joke's soon on them though as old wounds within the group resurface and the harmless prank spirals out of control. To make matters worse a stranger in a clown costume eventually starts stalking the group, and it's obvious that he isn't playing around. Will any of … Continue reading
Film Review: Boardinghouse (1982)
SYNOPSIS: A group of young women rent a boarding house from an oddball named Jim who has telekinetic powers. It turns out that a number of brutal slayings took place in the house over the years, and it isn't long before its current occupants start turning up dead as well. Is the house haunted by an evil spirit or is there something more sinister responsible for the murders? REVIEW: I saw the trailer for Boardinghouse … Continue reading
Film Review: RatMan (1988)
SYNOPSIS: For some unknown reason a mad scientist creates a nasty little creature that is part rat and part monkey. One night the little fellow escapes from his cage and goes on a vicious killing spree. REVIEW: It's a well-known fact that I'm completely and utterly terrified of monkeys, and to be honest I'm not too fond of rats either (I think it was because I saw films like Willard, Of Unknown Origin, and Deadly … Continue reading
Film Review: A Night to Dismember (1983)
SYNOPSIS: After being released from a mental hospital where she was committed for killing a couple of people Vicki returns to home to her family. It isn't long after her return that the bodies start piling up, but is Vicki responsible for the murders or is someone else behind them?

Of course he sets his sights on her as soon as he is released and makes it his mission to finish what he started decades earlier by killing her as well. REVIEW: Every once in a while I like to take a break from the hardcore horror films that I love … Continue reading
Film Review: Don't Open Till Christmas (1984)
SYNOPSIS: A deranged killer is stalking the streets of London around Christmas killing off anyone dressed up like Santa Claus. Will the police be able to find out who is behind the murders and stop the person before every Saint Nick in town is brutally murdered? REVIEW: There definitely isn't a shortage of Christmas-themed horror flicks for viewers (like me) who don't prefer more traditional fare such as Miracle on 34th Street and the sickening … Continue reading
Film Review: Fatal Exposure (1989)
SYNOPSIS: A seemingly friendly photographer in a small town is actually Jack the Ripper's great grandson. When he isn't busy killing his victims (and drinking their blood because he believes it keeps him virile) and snapping pictures of them in the process he is on the lookout for his soul mate so she can produce an offspring for him to carry on the family tradition. REVIEW: Fatal Exposure is without a doubt an odd little … Continue reading
Film Review: The Carpenter (1988)
SYNOPSIS: A charming (and slightly psychotic) carpenter working on a house starts killing off anyone who messes with the unhappily married woman (who is recovering from a nervous breakdown) who lives there that he has become smitten with. REVIEW: At first sight this movie would appear to be a slasher flick about a crazy carpenter dispatching his victims in a number of brutal ways with all of the tools of his trade at his disposal. … Continue reading
Film Review: Psycho Cop 2 (1993)
SYNOPSIS: A demented, Satan-worshipping cop crashes a bachelor party that is taking place in a high-rise office building after hours and goes about killing anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path. REVIEW: I'll admit it, I was wrong about Psycho Cop 2 (aka Psycho Cop Returns). I used to see it at the video store all the time when I was younger but never checked it out because I was certain that it was just … Continue reading

Top Ten Movies that Should Have Scared Me…But Didn't – A Todd Martin List
Let's face it, not everybody is afraid of the same things. What scares some people may not faze others, and this is particularly true when it comes to horror films.

Senator, the same people who voted for me, voted for you, and I am so excited to report that a vast majority of them now support LGBT equality. So too do a majority of your Democratic colleagues.

Sex discrimination and gender bias are deeply embedded in the legal framework of institutions designed to protect us all from harm. But we cannot allow ourselves to become complacent -- not now; not ever.

Laurie Barr is a hunter. Each year, around November, when the trees in Pennsylvania lose their foliage and the shrubs are nothing but bare sticks, offering no hiding place or cover, the hunting season begins.

Toaster Project (11 Edition)by Thomas Thwaites
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Where do our things really come from? China is the most common answer, but Thomas Thwaites decided he wanted to know more. In The Toaster Project, Thwaites asks what lies behind the smooth buttons on a mobile phone or the cushioned soles of running sneakers. What is involved in extracting and processing materials? To answer these questions, Thwaites set out to construct, from scratch, one of the most commonplace appliances in our kitchens today: a toaster. The Toaster Project takes the reader on Thwaites's journey from dismantling the cheapest toaster he can find in London to researching how to smelt metal in a fifteenth-century treatise. His incisive restrictions all parts of the toaster must be made from scratch and Thwaites had to make the toaster himself made his task difficult, but not impossible. It took nine months and cost 250 times more than the toaster he bought at the store. In the end, Thwaites reveals the true ingredients in the products we use every day. Most interesting is not the final creation but the lesson learned. The Toaster Project helps us reflect on the costs and perils of our cheap consumer culture and the ridiculousness of churning out millions of toasters and other products at the expense of the environment. If products were designed more efficiently, with fewer parts that are easier to recycle, we would end up with objects that last longer and we would generate less waste altogether. Foreword by David Crowley, head of critical writing at the Royal College of Art and curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

IRONMAN Ky Hurst might have been one of the drawcards for the annual Copeton Freshwater Swim but it was another local that turned heads.
New England MP Barnaby Joyce donned the swimmers – but thankfully not the Speedos like Tony Abbott – to join the thrones rushing into the water on Saturday.
There were close to 150 competitors for the freshwater swim over the three race legs of 600m, 2km and 5km.
"It's an increase of 40 per cent on last year," organiser Janelle McCosker said.
All eyes were on the water but it was outside the race that Ky Hurst earned even more fans.
"He was fantastic on the day and did a talk to all the competitors on open water swimming and gave them tips," Ms McCosker said.
"He swam and encouraged the kids along the way, you know 'come on Noah, keep going'.
"The kids loved it."
Armidale's Jay Kennedy took out the 2km event, while Tamworth's Ellie Camilleri took out the girls' title.
It was the first time the 5km swim had been held, with Ballina's Julian Aenishaenslin reigning supreme in the mens, and Madelaine Nilon from Caniaba in the girls.
The same pair also took line honours in the 600m swim.
Sources say Mr Joyce finished in the middle of the pack in a time of about 47 minutes – all but a little short of breath.

Ross Posts First-Rate Second Quarter
Friday August 23rd, 2013 - 11:59AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
For the 13-week second quarter ended August 3, Ross Stores, Inc. posted net earnings of $213.1 million versus $182 million in the prior year, with earnings per of 98 cents as compared to 81 cents for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Comparable store sales for the second quarter rose 4% versus the year earlier period, the company announced.
Earnings before taxes were $346.5 million versus $297 million in the year prior.
In a conference call, Michael Balmuth, Ross vice chairman and CEO, said that juniors and accessories were the strongest performing product segments in the quarter.
In announcing financial results, he commented, "We are pleased with our better-than-expected results for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, which were mainly driven by above-plan sales and merchandise gross margin. Our performance for both the quarter and year-to-date periods continues to benefit from the solid execution of our core off-price strategy of delivering compelling name brand bargains to today's value-focused consumers. Operating margin for the second quarter grew to a record 13.6%, up from 12.8% in the prior year. This increased level of profitability was driven by a 70 basis point improvement in cost of goods sold, mainly due to higher merchandise gross margin, and a 10 basis point decline in selling, general and administrative expenses."

The best place to begin a discussion about "Impact Merchants" is not with the largest retailers but with the smallest. They have adapted, and adapted again, to retain their unique advantages in a marketplace that sometimes feels overcome by commoditized merchandising.

By Pavel Polityuk and Polina Devitt KIEV/MOSCOW (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko accused Russia on Monday of "direct and open aggression" which he said had radically changed the battlefield balance as Kiev's forces suffered a further reverse in the war with pro-Moscow separatists. Ukraine's military said its troops had been ordered to pull back from a vital airport in the east of the country, near the city of Luhansk, where they had been battling a Russian tank battalion. Poroshenko said in a speech there would be high-level personnel changes in the Ukrainian armed forces, whose troops fled a new rebel advance in the south which Kiev's Western allies say has been backed up by Russian armored columns. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who called on Sunday for immediate negotiations on the "statehood" of southern and eastern Ukraine, blamed Kiev's leadership for refusing to enter into direct political talks with the separatists.
MOSCOW (AP) — Diplomats at a new round of talks on easing the crisis in Ukraine must push for an immediate, unconditional cease-fire between Ukrainian government troops and pro-Russian separatists, Russia's foreign minister said Monday.
LONDON (AP) — Radamel Falcao is set to join Manchester United on loan after the Premier League club agreed to a loan deal with Monaco, a person with knowledge of the deal said Monday.

Americans better be waking up! You are losing your freedoms and liberty at an alarming rate, especially since the second coronation of King Obama, and too many, either, do not realize it or much care. Even I, as non-supporter of his, would never have imagined the lawlessness of this administration.
As I mentioned in my initial column, there have been many highs and lows in America's history in my lifetime, and before, that almost destroyed our union. Starting with the Civil War — a little before my time — when President Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery. It divided America between North and South, and in some quarters of our nation to this day, the scars have not completely healed.
Then there was the Great Depression, which I consider both a high and low. It was a time of suffering and suicides for those who had lost everything, but also a time of people caring and trying to help one another.
On Dec. 7, 1941, following the infamous attack at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was decisive in immediately declaring war. With his own words, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself," he rallied the people and resulted in victory against Hitler and the Japanese Emperor Hirohito. The pride and patriotism this brought to Americans was almost beyond comprehension.
However, too soon after that the United States became embroiled in two conflicts, in which our gallant troops were not allowed to prevail, Korea and Vietnam. At that time, I was in an apathetic stage. I wasn't, nor am I now, aware of the justification for those wars. I only feel, as a combat veteran, that many lives were lost and much blood spilled in vain. The returning troops, especially Vietnam veterans, were treated abominably for their nation's call to arms.
Never should the American military be asked to participate in a conflict in which they will not be allowed to be victorious. I fear that is exactly what Obama's objective is. He has already withdrawn troops from Iraq, leaving it ripe for Iran's influence, and will soon leave Afghanistan to return to Taliban control. I have no stomach for war, but neither can I justify the senseless loss of our military. He has shown complete incompetence in the field of national affairs and hasn't the slightest clue how to react to the Libya or Syria problems, among others.
I have witnessed the switch of some European and other countries to Socialism, which has led to strikes, riots and unrest and, in many cases, leading to the overthrow of the government. Also, the usurping of power led to the likes of Adolph Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy and Franco in Spain. In my naivete, I thought that could not ever happen here. But Obama's ruthless power grabs are unsettling.
However, with the disregard King Obama has shown to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, can one be certain? Five years ago I would not have entertained such a notion, but times have changed. Twice he has taken the Oath of Office, swearing to uphold the Constitution and to faithfully execute all laws duly passed by Congress. How many times has he unilaterally changed his own Obama Care Law, in addition to deciding which parts of other laws, such as immigration and others, he feels like enforcing?
In his first two years of administration, he controlled both houses of Congress and passed virtually any piece of legislation he desired. Then he lost control of one house and things became a little more difficult. He repeatedly criticized the opposing party for not initiating any ideas to offset his failing policies. In truth, any bills passed by the opposition that stood a chance of adoption by the Senate were never brought up for an up-or-down vote by Senate Majority Leader Reid. With puppets, such as him, and by virtue of the rubber-stamp Senate, I fear for America's future.
With politicians of Obama's ilk and a complacent and hoodwinked populous, it could happen here!

Spring Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:
Buy it now
One Minute Bottom Line
This wonderful book, Spring Recipes, covers in a very decent way Spring 2.5 from basic to advanced and in many cases some compatible configurations for 1.x, scalable. It is a way to learn each chapter throught the book, 19 well-organized chapters that cover the most important topics in the J2EE world with Spring, and of course, Spring core itself
My personal analysis and appreciation belowPart 1: Core 1
- Chapter 1 Inversion of Control and Containers
- Chapter 2 Introduction to Spring
- Chapter 3 Bean Configuration in Spring
- Chapter 4 Advanced Spring IoC Container
- Chapter 5 Dynamic Proxy and Classic Spring AOP
- Chapter 6 Spring 2.x AOP and AspectJ Support
The best book in handle in how to teach you these topics with a very decent material specially for AOP. This Part is almost dedicated for beginners and already Spring developers that want to learn the new features used by Spring.Part 2: Fundamentals
- Chapter 7 Spring JDBC Support
- Chapter 8 Transaction Management in Spring
- Chapter 9 Spring ORM Support
- Chapter 10 Spring MVC Framework
- Chapter 11 Integrating Spring with Other Web Frameworks
- Chapter 12 Spring Testing Support
For "Spring JDBC Support", it has an excellent explanation and reason of the things. It offers a concrete way to learn sure jdbc with/without Spring support and to see the important differences about code/configuration/features
For "Transaction Management in Spring", it has good theory and clear concrete examples teaching different ways in how handle many options for this important topic (furthermore with AOP for Spring 1.x/2.x). The most important feature that I have seen in this chapter and really I like it, is that, this is the unique book written (among the books I have already read) that offers examples for almost all the options available about configurations for "Propagation Behaviors"(the two most important) and for "Isolation Levels"(for example, all of them, except Serializable), so it gives you really a better idea about the problems related with transactions and its solutions for each approach. Furthermore, it really teaches you the differences between the configurations and its respective behavior for each one. Instead, other books only show a table with the theory of each point, and then a simple example and nothing more.
For "Spring ORM Support ", it teaches you how to make a successful integration with Hibernate/JPA and how to manage a transaction with them and Spring.
For "Spring MVC Framework", it teaches you in a very good way the most important things in this important framework of Spring (I consider this better than Struts) in many ways and showing how to use interfaces and super classes of controller offered by Spring MVC with simple and concrete examples
For "Integrating Spring with Other Web Frameworks", if you are a veteran using Struts 1.x, it shows you in a fast and concrete way how to get a successful integration (not for Struts 2.x), same style for JSF. Something important and very necessary currently in a web application is ajax. The most important solution is DWR and this book teaches you how to get a successful integration (the classic way)
For "Spring Testing Support", important in any phase of development, the chapter is nice, showing how use JUnit(4.4 and 3.8) with Spring, and even with MVC controllers. Furthermore EasyMock is included in this chapter too; a nice approach is that it teaches you how to use JUnit with "Managing Transactions" and "Accessing Databases"Part 3: Advanced
- Chapter 13 Spring Security
- Chapter 14 Spring Portlet MVC Framework
- Chapter 15 Spring Web Flow
- Chapter 16 Spring Remoting and Web Services
- Chapter 17 Spring Support for EJB and JMS
- Chapter 18 Spring Support for JMX, E-mail, and Scheduling
- Chapter 19 Scripting in Spring
For "Spring Security" this is clearly a critical area in any application in real live. This book teaches you in a easy and concrete way the classic "Url Access" and "Method Invocations" even with Pointcuts among other features
For "Spring Portlet MVC Framework", I don't know anything about Portlet but this chapter is clearly well structured like the other chapters
For "Spring Web Flow" explains in a decent way SWF for 2.0 version. I think that SWF should be explained in a dedicated book
For "Spring Remoting and Web Services" offers a very clear and concrete use of many options related with this topic like RMI, Hessian, Burlap, Web Services; easy material to learn important things in this topic.
For "Spring Support for EJB and JMS", again I don't know anything about EJB but this chapter is clearly well structured like the other chapters and teaches you how to work with EJB 2.x/3.0 with Spring. It covers in a good way JMS with concrete and detailed examples.
For "Spring Support for JMX, E-mail, and Scheduling", it covers well these three topics. The chapter is decent, and has concrete theory and codes.
For "Scripting in Spring" is the shortest one. I don't know why, but it's really very concrete in the way it is taught.

[quote=mortsahl]I've been trying to learn Spring and have read everything I can get my hands on about it. Not enough good into is out there, specifically dealing with Spring 2.5x. This book has been my savior. Extremely well written, easy to understand examples, and a very concise "here's how you do it" approach.[/quote]
i would be agree,
some documentation out there lack in some way the most important element in how teach some topic,
the reason of the things,
for that reason that I always prefer a book, and this is the best written
enjoy the book

Chancellor attacked over public sector workers
– TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady
The Chancellor is either oblivious to the tough time that millions of public sector workers and their families are having or he is deliberately setting out to punish them.
Public sector workers have seen their pay frozen as the cost of living soars and thousands now find themselves earning less than the living wage.
Family budgets are at breaking point and millions of nurses, teachers, fire-fighters, council workers and civil servants will have been hoping the Chancellor might ease their pain today, not add significantly to it.

Associated Press
National survey results show one in 50 children have autism, the U.S. Center for Disease Control announced on Wednesday.
"Based on parent reports, the prevalence of diagnosed ASD in 2011–2012 was estimated to be 2 percent for children aged 6–17," according to the CDC report which was co-authored by the Health Resources and Services Administration.
The new estimate from the CDC would mean at least 1 million children have autism, according to an Associated Press story.
This number is up from the 1.16 percent prevalence reported in 2007; that's about one in 86 children. The CDC found the results by conducting independent national phone surveys of more than 95,000 parents in 2011 and 2012.
The survey also found that boys are about four times more likely to have autism than girls. Some 3.23 percent of boys had autism, compared to 0.7 percent of girls.
Last year, in another study, the CDC found that out of the 14 states studied, Utah had the highest number of autism cases with one in 47 children. Alabama had the lowest number, with one in 210. That same study found the national average of autism prevalence to be one in 88 children.
According to the AP, some consider last year's report to be more accurate because it depended on actual medical data, not just parent surveys.
"One thing the data tells us with certainty — there are more children and families that need help," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, CDC director, after last year's report. "We must continue to track autism spectrum disorders because this is the information communities need to guide improvements in services to help children."
Some also think the increase in autistic kids could be a result of a recently broadened definition of autism.
"For decades, autism meant kids with severe language, intellectual and social impairments and unusual, repetitious behaviors. But the definition has gradually expanded and now includes milder, related conditions," according to the AP story.
Despite some doubts, CDC officials still think the survey provides a valid snapshot of how many families are affected by autism, said Stephen Blumberg, the CDC report's lead author.

Immigration activists urge Obama to act boldlyBy ERICA WERNER
the associated press | April 16,2014ap file photo
Women link their arms and sit in a circle to block the intersection of Independence Avenue SE and New Jersey Avenue SE outside the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill in Washington, to protest Congress inaction on comprehensive and inclusive immigration reform. They were all arrested soon after this photo was taken.WASHINGTON Latinos and immigration activists are warning of political peril for President Barack Obama and Democrats in the fall election unless the president acts boldly and soon to curb deportations and allow more immigrants to remain legally in the U.S.
Many activists say Obama has been slow to grasp the emotions building within the Latino community as deportations near the 2 million mark for his administration and hopes for immigration legislation fade. With House Republicans unlikely to act on an overhaul, executive action by Obama is increasingly the activists only hope.
There is tremendous anger among core constituencies of the president and the Latino and Asian communities in particular, said Deepak Bhargava, executive director of the Center for Community Change, which champions immigration change. He has a momentous choice to make.
Activists credit their sit-ins and hunger strikes for Obama directing new Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to review the administrations deportations policy and suggest ways to make it more humane. Now theyre focused on ensuring they get the outcome they want an expansion of Obamas two-year-old policy allowing work permits for immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children who have been in school or the military.
The program has helped more than 600,000 people. Activists want it expanded to include more immigrants, such as those who have been in the U.S. for at least five years or who since their arrival have had children. Depending on how its defined, that could help many millions more.
Obama has said he doesnt have the authority to take such a step without Congress. At a White House meeting with religious leaders Tuesday he emphasized he wouldnt act on his own while there still was a window for congressional action, participants said.
Republicans have warned that a unilateral move by Obama would end any possibility for cooperation on immigration legislation. A bill to improve border security and offer a path to citizenship for many of the 11.5 million immigrants here illegally remains stalled in the GOP-led House 10 months after passing the Senate.
But many activists say theyve all but given up on Republicans and argue that Obama has the responsibility and authority to take expansive steps to legalize large segments of the population. They worry that Johnsons review will produce only small measures aimed at slowing deportations and improving procedures.
At this point anything short of an affirmative administrative relief program for parents of U.S. citizens and Dreamers is not enough, said Lorella Praeli, director of advocacy at United We Dream, which represents immigrants brought here illegally as kids, known by their supporters as Dreamers. The clock on Obama has run out.
Administration officials havent tipped their hand on the timing or outcome of Johnsons review, though activists anticipate initial steps fairly soon. Peter Boogaard, spokesman for the Homeland Security Department, said the review will be completed expeditiously and the aim is to see if there are areas where we can further align our enforcement policies with our goal of sound law enforcement practice.
Despite the complaints from activists, Republicans accuse the Obama administration of inflating its record on deportations by counting people removed as theyre attempting to cross the border or shortly thereafter.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON Conservatives should stop the fight over Common Core and instead consider the...

Tahoe Donner Association commemorated the official commencement of construction for a new Cross Country Ski Center on Friday, June 13, with a groundbreaking ceremony. Staff and supporters gathered to celebrate the new Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Center designed to improve operational and energy efficiencies, while implementing necessary protections to natural resources.
Representatives from Tahoe Donner including Robb Etnyre, general manager, Tom Johns, president of the board, and Forrest Huisman, director of capital projects, attended the groundbreaking along with project supporters. Truckee dignitaries including Truckee Mayor Patrick Flora were present as well.
"At long last, with years of research, collaboration and planning we are excited to be able to move forward with construction of our new Cross Country Ski Center," said Johns. "We sincerely appreciate the efforts of those who attended the planning commission hearings, wrote letters of support and helped make this project become a reality."
The new Tahoe Cross Country Ski Center is designed to meet the growing needs of the community and will include energy efficient and environmentally conscious design, an enhanced rental facility and new public locker room, protection of adjacent wetlands, improved food service, and an architectural vision that contributes to the mountain community.
"Today is a celebration of the valuable collaboration, community relationships, and project coordination that has taken place during the last three years of planning . The success of this project is a result of everyone's continued vision and support," said Huisman. "Collectively, we are making history by dreaming big, developing our shared vision, and following through for the collective benefit of the Truckee community."
The Soldier Hollow Legacy Foundation (SHLF) has announced the hiring of Richard Hodges as its new Executive Director effective July 1, 2014. Hodges will oversee the execution of the foundation's strategy to build upon its current financial stability and continue building to regain its place as the premier cross-country ski and biathlon venue in North America and become a year-round tourism and event magnet for the Heber Valley.
"Richard brings to this position a contagious passion for Nordic sports," said Brian Olsen, newly-elected Chairman of the Board and 2006 Olympian. "He brings a compelling vision for re-invigorating the venue's facilities, its programming, and its ties with the Heber Valley community."
A past member of the foundation's Board of Directors, Hodges has 10 years of experience as the volunteer President of The Utah Nordic Alliance (TUNA), the largest cross-country ski organization in Utah. In that position, he grew the organization's membership, event participation, and revenues, and assisted smaller ski clubs with becoming financially stable.
Hodges has stated that his immediate priorities are to listen to the ideas and feedback of the foundation's many stakeholders, from employees to long-time Soldier Hollow users. "I very much look forward to working with local business and community leaders in Midway and Heber Valley to help expand Soldier Hollow's presence and profile," said Hodges.
With sport central to the foundation's mission, Hodges looks to build deeper and even stronger ties with regional and national sports organizations, such as the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association and the U.S. Biathlon Association. The goal is to ensure that the venue is contributing to the athlete development pipelines of these sports by recruiting and developing new talent and providing a world-class training and competition venue for elite athletes.
Outside of the ski world, Hodges has been in the transportation sector as an accomplished project manager, economist, and, most recently, private consultant. He has worked for and in support of government entities such as the Utah Transit Authority, which will serve him well leading a foundation holding the concession contract with the State of Utah to operate the Soldier Hollow venue: "Our long-term partnership with Utah State Parks ensures that together we provide great opportunities for the community," he said.
Having worked as an event volunteer and advisor to the Salt Lake Organizing Committee since the early days of what would later become Soldier Hollow, Hodges experience with the venue runs deep. The foundation's first and current Executive Director, Howard Peterson, will remain as a consultant through September providing Hodges with continuity and expert advice after having served in the position for more than a decade. "I am honored and privileged to have the opportunity to work with Soldier Hollow's world-class staff to carry forward the Olympic and sport legacy that Howard has built," concluded Hodges.
Italy's Marcialonga organizing committee gave Nordic sports lovers and fans a chance to collect a bib to the 42nd running of the popular cross country race scheduled for January 25, 2015. Registration the official website sold out the thousands of tickets available in just ten minutes. The 7,500 athletes entry limit was reached in a record time and thousands of so-called 'bisons' from around the world will ski the next Marcialonga in the Italian Dolomites, with two confirmed courses – a 70k classic technique from Moena to Cavalese and 45k classic from Moena to Predazzo. The race is part of the Worldloppet series and FIS Marathon Cup and Ski Classics series. For more information visit www.marcialonga.it.
