Reunited for the movie "Closer," Portman and Nichols were comfortable around one another and completely trusted in each other's artistic decisions. Trust, and the ability to speak bluntly with one another, helped make Portman's job easier as her character, Alice, is a stripper who joins Clive Owen's character in a very sensual, very intimate encounter in a strip club. Though much has been made of Portman's nude scene, which was filmed but not included in the movie, both actress and director feel the right decision was made to not include the very brief shot in the final cut. And while her brief nude scene isn't included in the finished film, it has certainly helped spark interest in Natalie's emergence as a more mature, more sexually evolved actress.
Portman fans who take in "Closer" may be quite surprised the innocent-looking beauty has left the path of what's tried and true and ventured into deeper waters. But as director Nichols says, "People don't quite realize how remarkable an actress she is, because she looks so amazing, but she is." Joining her "Closer" co-stars Jude Law and Clive Owen to talk about her role as the conflicted, honest, tough-yet-vulnerable Alice, Portman refuted claims "Closer" marks her transitional role into more adult fare:
INTERVIEW WITH NATALIE PORTMAN ('Alice'):
This is a pretty serious drama but director Mike Nichols said you were laughing a lot on the set.
Well, because Mike was there.
So it was a fun shoot?
Not always.
When wasnt it?
Well, I mean some of the things are really hard to do to each other, especially because all of them - I think I can say this for all of [the cast], we got along well and liked each other a lot. To be really awful to each other was very difficult at times.
Is this role a conscious effort to change your lovable girl image?
No. It wasnt conscious, but I try and keep it interesting, try and do different things every time. And I havent done a role like this before so it was a good challenge.
Does Closer mark your arrival as an adult actress?
I disagree. I don't know. I dont really feel like an adult yet myself, so I dont really think I can play adults. I think its always a proportion, adult to child within you, and even when youre 85 youre still going to have that proportion. It changes with mood and with time. Its an arbitrary distinction between adult and child.
Whats the difference between working with Mike Nichols on stage and in films?
Its [a] different comparison because they were different pieces so its not a direct comparison. But Mikes technique was a little bit different. With the play, he gave us more [freedom]. He let us find everything a little bit more ourselves, I think, because we had a much longer time. And also the theater is like every time you do it, you find new things and it sort of builds up and builds up. Whereas on film, you do it and thats it. Thats it for eternity. So I think he directed us when we were sitting together in our rehearsal period, he sort of laid out very clearly the structural theme of the film. We were all sort of aware of the shape of it as opposed to when we worked on the play, it sort of came together.
Did you learn how to do pole dancing?
Yes. [Clive Owen jokes they all learned how to.] Theyre very good. Theyre very good, these boys.
Did it hurt to do the splits?
No, Im extraordinarily flexible.
How did you feel about the decision to remove the nudity?
Well, back to the trust issue, when you trust someone, youre willing to do everything and make mistakes and really expose yourself inside out. So we made sort of a pact that before While we would shoot, we would just do everything and then he cut it the way he cut, showed it to me [to] see if I agreed, and thats what happened. We both kept our parts of the deal.
Why did you decide not to show the nudity?
I didnt think it was crucial to the scene. I thought it was distracting, if anything, to have it at the head of the scene.
Why are women more willing to forgive than men?
I don't know. First of all, I don't think that four characters necessarily extends to their entire gender. I think theres variations within humanity that arent - these arent epitomes or types that represent their entire sex. And second of all, if thats the conclusion you come to, you can think about it. I dont need to teach you or tell you, you know. Thats the beauty of a piece thats full of the inspiration of questions like this that makes you go home and think about that. I could talk for hours about why, but

The park space issue first came up in council chambers a few weeks ago, when members heard from a number of community developers on how this measure would impact profits and real estate markets. After some days of tweaking and a flurry of amendments, Houston Mayor Bill White called the item up for a vote.
"All in favor signify by saying 'aye' opposed 'no' this item carries. That's pretty historic."
White says this is historic for two reasons, first because it ensures a permanent funding stream for park space in addition to what the city sets aside.
"Second, it's one of the most bold steps that Houston has taken to require that people developing substantial projects within Houston recognize the impact of that development on the adjacent community."
The ordinance in its final form, after the addition and rejection of several amendments, requires developers to set aside 10 acres for every 1000 residents, based on a formula of 1.8 residents per unit. They can also opt out of the land set-aside by paying a $700 fee per unit. Although the amendments slightly ease the requirements on developers, Houston Parks and Recreation Department Director Joe Turner says he's happy with the result.
"I'm extremely excited with what we just passed today. It's a crucial step for us as a city and a parks department for sure. You know, parks bring us many things - allow us recreation opportunities, it allows a health piece to it and the big piece it allows to us is just to be out and enjoy nature. So yes, I'm extremely happy with what was passed."
The park space ordinance goes into effect on November 1st. At that point, any developers planning new projects within city limits will have to include plans for boosting the city's parks and greenspace. Laurie Johnson, Houston Public Radio News.

35 cos vie for `ultra mega' plants
Our Bureau
MEGA RESPONSE: The Union Power Minister, Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde, and the Secretary, Mr.R.V. Shahi, at a roundtable conference in New Delhi on Thursday. S. Subramanium
New Delhi , May 4
The Government has received expressions of interest (EoIs) from around 35 domestic and international companies to build four of the proposed "ultra mega" thermal power projects, each with an output capacity of 4,000 MW, at various locations across the country.
"We have got expressions of interest from big companies," Mr Shyam Wadhera, Director (Projects), Power Finance Corporation, which is co-ordinating the bidding process for the projects, said here on Thursday. Both domestic and international companies have shown interest, he said at the sidelines of a roundtable conference on investments in the "ultra mega power" projects.
Impressive line-up
Domestic companies that have submitted EoIs for the four projects include state-run National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Tata Power Company, Reliance Energy, GMR Industries, GVK Power and Infrastructure, Essar Group, Torrent Power, Jindal Steel and Power and Jai Prakash Industries, Mr Wadhera said. Foreign companies such as AES Corporation (AES), China Light and Power, Korea Electric Power Corporation, Mitsui and Company, Suez Energy and Sumitomo Corporation have also submitted their bids, he added.
The first four plants will be located in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka, while the Government is soon expected to call for bids to build two more mega projects in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. The Centre has already firmed up plans to award five of the six proposed projects over the next 12 months through a process of tariff-based bidding.
Power Finance Corporation has set up special purpose vehicles to conduct preliminary studies and obtain Government approval for the planned projects. These subsidiaries will be taken over by the companies that eventually win the bid to construct and operate the projects. The Government plans to extend tax breaks and ensure adequate supplies of coal for all the projects.
Luring investors
Last month, the Government had sent four teams to China/Korea, Australia/New Zealand, Europe and the US to promote the projects to foreign investors.
Talking about the response among investors abroad, the Power Minister, Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde, said that foreign investors are expected to bid in large number for these projects. "We had sent four teams. There has been very good response to our roadshows and many foreign companies have evinced interest in these power projects," he said at the sidelines.
The Power Secretary, Mr R.V. Shahi, said the Government had assured a three-tier payment security mechanism to bidders, comprising Letter of Credit, an escrow account and the option of selling power directly to high-tension consumers, in case of default.

489 Minutes of Straight 'Arrested Development': Surviving the Season 4 Bluth Binge
Bang the drums and sound the shofar: Arrested Development is back after 7 long years. All 15 new episodes were released on Netflix and like many of you — I binged. Oh — I binged hard. After watching the entire 4th season, all 15 episodes, every one of the 489 minutes in one sitting (as it was created to be experienced), I must admit that it wasn't easy. It wasn't fatigue or a fast depleting attention span that made it difficult either, but a new and very intriguing storytelling method employed by the AD team. So, as a survivor, I came up with a few things to consider if you're planning on taking on the 8+hour Bluth Binge.
This story of a wealthy family who lost everything spent a lot of time being developed as a brand by using unorthodox methods of marketing that catered to both fans and new viewers. Stunts like a touring banana stand were used to bring in new viewers, while insider gags like blue handprints on Netflix's website and teaser posters highlighting popular props (Tobias' never-nude jean cutoffs, a juice box impaled on Buster's hook hand) were aimed at core viewers. A jaunty trailer was also used to reintroduce us to the Bluth family, while also cleverly proposing a challenge to viewers by divulging this: "All the episodes. All streaming. All at once." Check it out below:
It's no secret that Netflix intended for the show to be "binge-viewed." Netflix CEO Reed Hastings employed the same strategy for House of Cards by releasing all 13 episodes at once. Hastings says that this decision worked by, "reinforcing our brand attribute of giving consumers complete control over how and when they enjoy their entertainment."
Many are calling this move a game-changer, and believe that binge-viewing will alter the way we watch TV. Not only that, but it carries heavy implications financially for broadcasters as well. An article in The Wall Street Journal reported:
Bingeing breaks habits that have long supported the TV business, built on advertising and syndicated reruns. TV executives are torn by the development: gratified that people are gorging on their product, frustrated because it's a TV party that all-important advertisers aren't invited to.
The traditional method of programing for these original series was foregone by Netflix in order to allow viewers to experience the shows as they pleased, which — let's be honest — isn't usually done by watching one episode a week. We binge. We gorge. I know I personally am notorious for watching entire seasons in one sitting (ahem – Bob's Burgers) and season 4 of Arrested Development was no different.
And — in my humble opinion, I think that might've been the best way to watch AD. I'm not saying you have to stay up until 6AM like I did watching every single episode back to back, but — maybe Netflix made the choice to make every episode available, because they know that we like to binge, and they want to give us what we want.
What does that mean for TV? To narrow it down a bit, what does that mean for TV writing? If there is no time between the end of one episode and the start of another, does the manner in which the story is told change? Well, I think it does, because the new season of AD uses a whole new storytelling paradigm.
Without giving too much away for all of you non-bingers, I'll lay it out. First of all, one single Bluth family member is highlighted and followed in each episode. That's where the simplicity ends, I'm afraid. Time is not always linear, which makes it difficult to orient yourself in not just the episodes, but the whole season. Furthermore, each episode doesn't really provide you with a nicely packaged resolution at the end — they all kind of end revealing another piece of the overarching puzzle of the central plot.
Since the season as a whole is constructed in an extremely complex assemblage of disjointed scenes, with small, seemingly inconsequential conversations and actions being slowly revealed through multiple episodes as being more significant than previously thought, it might be best to watch them all at once. Otherwise, you might forget a tiny detail or comment — and there are a lot of them — that slowly develops into something huge in the story later.
So, is this really an ideal method of watching your favorite shows? If a show is built to be binge-viewed, not everybody has the time, energy, or focus to sit down and watch something for hours. And how well can you enjoy a show if you watch it so quickly anyway? Are you losing some of the magic and subtle nuances when you experience too much of a good thing by ingesting it all at once?
I don't know all the answers, but I do have a thought: In the end, comparing AD seasons 1-3 to season 4 is like comparing apples to cornballs. They're not really the same thing. The way the episodes coalesce to form the overarching plot of each season is different and therefore may require a little adapting to a new way of experiencing the narrative. Take Memento for example. I know, it's not a TV show, but stay with me. The complexity of that narrative requires a significant amount of finesse to track, so pausing it or coming back to it later is probably going to throw you. Season 4 is just as intricately formed as Memento, and delayed expositions and reveals require great attention to detail.
Surviving your binge-view session is pretty easy as long as you have snacks and some pjs. However, surviving the density and complexity of season 4 of Arrested Development – all the way through without breaks — well, I think that deserves a bumper sticker that reads: I Survived the Bluth Binge.
What do you think about binge-viewing and the purported ramifications of it? Did you survive your Bluth Binge?
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

I got late onto the House brigade (yes probably lived under a rock) and saw season 1-7 in 2 weeks.. just in time for Season 8. I miss House.
Mitchell on 05.28.13 @ 11:20AM
I just want to point out that Mitch Hurwit recommended not binge-watching them:
V Renée on 05.28.13 @ 12:34PM
I read about that in a different article somewhere. I agree, though — if you can't focus or get bored with seeing the same thing for a long time, maybe binging isn't the best way to watch AD…because "You'll get tired." But, for those who have incredible stamina and are obsessive, maybe give it a try. (Word of warning: I had the strangest day after this whole Bluth Binge…got very existential. Maybe no more 8 hour watchfests for me for a while…)
Raphael on 05.28.13 @ 11:29AM
I'm used to watching Shows in this manor. Or at least partly like it. It is also a Long-time doing of mine, watching Shows as a season Event or sometimes the whole series in one go (by one go I refering to just watching it alot faster than I would be able if I were watching it weekly on tv). A few examples: I've watched season 1-5 of Scrubs in two days. Season 1 of DS9 in one go, season 1 of 24 in one go, whole Babylon 5 (incl. Movies) in 2 and a half weeks, whole Star Trek (everything) in about 3 months.and so on. I have to say that I like it alot, being able to enjoy Shows and their plots without getting distracted by other Shows. Sometimes it takes a while to get into the characters. Ontop of my head one series comes to mind immediatly Farscape. It took me a whole season to start to like the cast, but after that, it was a wunderful experience.
I can only encourage People to try it out.
Jacob Daniels on 06.3.13 @ 3:46PM
Well most of us are used to watching shows in our plain little houses or apartments. I mean having a manor must be great and all, but this is a heck of a place to go bragging about it.
I think binge viewing is good for viewers, but bad for shows. With weekly shows we generate anticipation: "Did you see last night/week's Game of Thrones/Mad Men etc? With binging it's turning into: "Did you watch the whole season?" I feel binging eliminates the need and desire to talk about/up a show. We'll discuss AD for a week or so, after that, if you're behind, you're not just out of the conversation you're you're way out of relevance. But weekly syndication allows new or behind viewers to catch up, to join the conversation. We build anticipation and excitement. It becomes communal. But by in essence shortening a shows conversation it negatively effects the probability of bringing in new viewers.
House of Cards, for example, is a show I want to see, but haven't yet and I feel less and less need to start it right away because no one is talking about it. And by the time I do see it there won't be anyone who wants to talk about it. I'm sure I'll eventually see it but the lack of excitement and hype diminishes the shows cultural relevance (though House of Cards will be remembered as the first episodic venture from Netflix and that's important and historic).
I like binging as much as the next person, but I'm weary of how it will effect the shows themselves.
Marcus on 05.28.13 @ 12:02PM
You made some good points, however I'm a believer that TV has to respond to its audience and not impose. I'm sure they will figure a way to keep the heat on for longer. Probably different marketing strategies.
What AMC did with Breaking Bad , releasing half of the season in one year and having another year break for the other half was ridiculous, I hope it never happens again.
Why does them releasing all the episodes at once mean they 'intend' for them all to be watched at once? That's a bit of a leap. That's like saying because there are 9 seasons of The X-Files that Netflix 'intends' for you to watch them all at once.
They released them all at once because that's what Netflix is. It wouldn't make sense for them to release them weekly. That doesn't mean the creators intended you to sit on your couch for 8 hours. I'm sure the creators would far prefer you to savour the series.
V Renée on 05.28.13 @ 12:40PM
"Netflix's brand for TV shows is really about binge viewing. Imagine if books were always released one chapter per week, and were only briefly available to read at 8pm on Thursday. And then someone flipped a switch, suddenly allowing people to enjoy an entire book, all at their own pace. That is the change we are bringing about. That is the future of television." – Reed Hastings (Netflix CEO)
By that logic it follows that the author of a book wants you to read it all in one sitting. The point of Netflix is on-demand, that is very different to 'binge' viewing which isn't healthy for appreciation of content nor for content creators as it lowers the perceived value of the content.
V Renée on 05.28.13 @ 4:50PM
I see your point, but creators of art need to understand that their audience is made up of individuals that experience things differently. Not everybody appreciates art or media less if they consume it for extended periods of time. For example, I haven't watched traditional television for probably 5 or 6 years, because I absolutely can't stand waiting so long to watch episodes. Personally, I find being in the story space longer allows me to experience it more fully, rather than being in it for only half an hour (or however long one episode is.) But, everyone's different.
V Renée on 05.28.13 @ 12:52PM
But, I see what you're saying — even if the distributor wants it to be binge-viewed, that doesn't mean the creators want it to be.
Binge viewing is fun. It poses some problems for content creators though because the fans are finished with you after a very short time period. There was a post here about JJ Abrams' mystery box and how suspense and the unknown is what brings and audience back over and over again. When a series is finished that urgency to view, discuss and obsess over it is alleviated.
I am torn because I prefer to binge, but feel empty very soon after like a junkie looking for another high. My fan fanaticism immediately goes into hibernation. Story is ADDICTIVE. Users will go find it somewhere else if you have nothing more for them. How the story is dealt to fan/addicts can become as powerful as the story itself. I often will not watch a TV series as it is airing because the suspense and desire to know what happens next will consume my life as I scour the internet for answers and theories. I know if I consume even a little bit of good story I will not be able to control myself seeking more. It is that strong.
Viewers want it all RIGHT NOW. We are story addicts. But if you want money from us, if you want viewers to be loyal, then you have to tease and feed our addiction carefully. Once a fan always an addict. Netflix knows people binge but giving into addicts every whim may not be the magic bullet it looks like on the surface.
As a contrast to binge viewing you will find Japanese comics. I am convinced that the manga revolution in America (go ahead and look at the comic section at Barnes and Noble to see what I mean) is tied very closely with how they create and release their content which nurtures a die hard fan community like nothing else I have ever seen. Many Japanese comics are released once a week or once every two weeks and will stay in syndication for years if not decades. I can catch up on an old series in a few days but then have to wait as it is dealt week by week. That is how you feed an addiction. That is how you make a rabid fan junkie.
Natt on 05.28.13 @ 3:19PM
Towards the end it blue'd itself, unfortunately. Or maeby I was just tired.
V Renée on 05.28.13 @ 5:54PM
I love everything about this comment.
I've worked at a local mom and pop video store for about seven years. (I have a feeling I'm not the only frequenter of this site that's spent some time behind the dvd/vhs counter.) This job has offered me a unique glimpse at people's viewing habits. It's interesting to track a show like "The Sopranos", or "Lost", shows that were hot while on but who's finale's reception has dampened people's appetite's for them big time.
Then there's shows like "The Wire" and "BattleStar Galactica" who's popularity post original airing only seems to grow as their cultural presence slowly but steadily grows. Those shows really lend themselves to binge viewing.
FWIW, the Netflix stock took a major hit today, down ~ 6.5% (~$14.5) all due to the negative reaction to the AD. (of course, if the 2nd Q subscriber totals jump, that trend will reverse itself).
As to the "binge TV", the Prospect Park's online/Hulu revival of "One Life to Live" and "All My Children", canceled by ABC about a year and a half ago, reacted to it by cutting the number of produced episodes from 4 down to 2. They also have a week's highlight/interview show.
And, yes, I will watch OLTL now and again. Any show that can shoot 100-145 pages per day is worth following, at worst, for the technical reasons.
Logan on 05.29.13 @ 3:28AM
Binge Viewing? That sounds a lot like reading a book. You've got several hours of entertainment right there in front of you with chapter ends that give you the option to put it down and go to bed or sit up and keep going.
The Hollywood Reporter is quoting Procera Networks, a broadband monitoring firm, that the the Netflix AD traffic tripled visavis its previous high (House of Cards).

The main problem is the show is shite – really bad writing. It used to be so good, but the interim period was obviously NOT spent writing or hiring new writers … it is a cheap and cheesy money-spinner and Hurwitz should be ashamed of himself.
paulherrin on 05.31.13 @ 2:19AM
i think of it just like a book with chapters. i don't see a problem coming back to it, but personally i don't like to get into more than one fiction at a time.

After starting the season 4-0, Logansport's boys basketball team hit its first bump in the road last weekend in back-to-back double-digit losses at Frankfort and Lafayette Jeff.
The Berries will try to bounce back tonight, and a win couldn't come at a better time as they open up their North Central Conference slate against visiting Anderson.
"We've had a good week of practice," Logan coach Mark Victor said. "We watched film on Monday and have been tuned in the last couple nights. We'll be ready to go this weekend."
The Berries (4-2) are facing a veteran Anderson squad (2-2). The Indians are led by 6-foot-4 big man Trey Boyd, who hit the game-winning shot at the buzzer last year against the Berries.
"The last three or four go-rounds with Anderson have been pretty amazing really," Victor said. "Antonio [Penny's] freshman year was the last time we played down at the Wigwam. We were down big at half and rallied to win. The last time Anderson was here we won in 2-OT. Last year down there they hit the shot at the buzzer on a turnaround 17-footer as time expired. It's really been a battle the last three or four years, and [tonight] it'll be about the same, I think."
Victor thought his team played better defensively against Jeff than it did against Frankfort.
"We need to play with that same kind of intensity," he said. "We have to get back into an offensive flow and have more continuity in our offense.
"We're going to start a different lineup and see how that goes. We still have to execute and play defense and rebound. It'll be a good test."
The Berries travel to McCutcheon (4-1) on Saturday night. The Mavericks have won four in a row, which includes winning the Lafayette J & C Hoops Classic title.
"They're playing really well. They're beating people handily," Victor said. "They manhandled Frankfort.
"It's a tough weekend, maybe our toughest one of the year. We're going up against contrasting styles. Anderson goes up and down the floor with a quick pace. And then McCutcheon is big and strong and pounds the ball inside. They're very patient offensively with three, four or five passes. And they mix their defenses, while Anderson plays straight man-to-man."
Taylor (0-5, 0-1 MIC) at Cass (2-3, 0-1 MIC)
Cass coach Jon Kitchel is looking for better play from his squad after back-to-back losses to Hamilton Heights and Carroll last weekend.
"We need to get our big guys more involved in our offense. We need better shot selection, better looks," he said. "I felt like we played pretty good at Hamilton Heights for three quarters. The free throws came back to bite us. We had to foul at the end and they hit 15 of 16 from the line to put us away. Against Carroll I didn't feel like we had a good effort in that game."
Taylor is winless on the season but did play a 4-1 Northwestern squad to within two points.
"Taylor is a better team than their record shows," Kitchel said. "They've got some athletes and some scorers. They've played some pretty good teams here early. We'll have to bring our A game."
The Kings travel to Rochester (0-4) on Saturday night. The Zebras return three starters from last year's team but are still winless to start the year.
"They've got a new coach [Rex Reinholt] and it always takes a little bit of time to get things going and get things worked out," Kitchel said. "The coach is learning the players and the players are learning the coach."
Culver Academy (0-4) at Pioneer (3-2)
The Panthers recorded back-to-back blowout wins last weekend against South Newton and North Miami.
They're stepping back up in competition level tonight when the Eagles come to town.
"It looks like we have a tall task. They look good on tape," Pioneer coach Pat Skaggs said. "I know they haven't won a game yet, but on the two game tapes I've seen it looks like they may be the best defensive team we've played yet.
"They're athletic. They're quick up front and have a 6-11 kid inside who's not a great offensive player, but he's not just a skinny, lanky kid. He's got a big body, a thick kid who is very capable of causing serious problems in a high school game. We'll have our hands full will them.
"They've played some quality people. Elkhart Memorial has a probable Indiana All-Star. West Lafayette is very good, and they were up 1 against them at the half."
Skaggs said senior forward Mitchell Williams is questionable with a sprained ankle for tonight's game.
The Panthers host Argos (1-4) Saturday night.
"Last year it was a dogfight up there," Skaggs said. "They beat Winamac early in the year. They have a good junior class. I'm sure it'll be a challenge for us."
Frontier (3-3, 1-0 MWC) at Caston (2-3, 0-0 MWC), Sat.
The Comets host the Falcons for their Midwest Conference opener Saturday.
"They're a complicated team to prepare for," Caston coach Ben Snyder said. "They run a lot of different sets. They change up their defenses and run five or six defenses."
Frontier is 1-0 in MWC play after a win at Winamac last week. The Falcons host West Central tonight.
Caston is coming off back-to-back big wins over Carroll and Taylor last weekend after an 0-3 start to the season. Jake Howdeshell caught fire from the field and scored 61 points and made 15 3-pointers in the two games.
"It was a good weekend for us," Snyder said. "We played really well against Carroll defensively and offensively. We had nine turnovers against Carroll and 10 against Taylor, and that's the name of the game. Plus we got hip-ins and didn't allow second shots. We held Taylor to 10 points in the second half. Those were the two big keys we took care of and it showed in the results."
Winamac (1-3) at Rossville (2-3), Sat.
The Warriors have lost two straight to Frontier and Culver after their 13-point win over Rochester.
"I'm still very excited about this team," Winamac coach Kyle Johnson said. "Our goal is to be playing our best basketball at the end of the season. We have a rough schedule at the beginning of the year and we're going to keep getting better."
Rossville is coming off back-to-back losses to Delphi and Western. The loss to Western was in overtime.
"Rossville has a great environment for basketball," Johnson said. "They have no football at Rossville, so they take their basketball pretty seriously. They've got a good group of shooters and a lot of varsity experience. We're going down there trying to get back on track and fix the things we're not doing. We have to be aware of where the shooters are and not get caught up in the atmosphere and the loudness. We have to do what we do well and rebound better, do all the things that got us to where we are now."

We are quickly losing our right to choose. That's right.. becasue if you choose one thing..then you have to discriminate( choose against) something else. A Christian group doesn't want an atheist leading them. What moron could see a problem with that choice. Spelled c-h-o-i-c-e. The only reason an atheist would want the job would be to diminish the faith. What moron can't figure that one out? Evidently, Vanderbilt university can't figure it out. That student Christian group has left the campus. looks like the atheists can discriminate all they want to... Every Christian student should leave Vanderbilt and go to a University where thinking & freedom are still allowed.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) -- Five historic homes in Jeffersonville that had to be moved to make way for the Ohio River Bridges Project are now looking for new owners to help restore old neighborhoods.
It was just this past summer that the homes which overlooked the Ohio River had to be moved to make way for the downtown bridge.
The homes were built between the 1890's and the 1920's.
"With the equipment they have today with hydraulic jacks, they are very careful and they can usually move these buildings with minimal damage," says Greg Sekula of Indiana Landmarks.
The five houses are now for sale at five separate locations, one of them a well restored arts and crafts bungalow. The brick on its front porch has been restored and it sits on a new foundation.
"The house was too good to be demolished," says Sekula, "so we were grateful that we were able to work with INDOT(Indiana Department of Transportation) to achieve this."
INDOT spent more than $600,000 to move the houses. An online auction is underway to sell the homes. People who buy the homes need to live in them -- landlords are not welcome.
"These cannot be purchased for rent", explains INDOT spokesman Mike Bosc, "the owner has to live there for five years and if the owner sells before the five years, the next person will be required to stay there until the five years of the initial sale is completed."
The hope is that the historic homes in their new locations will be a catalyst to help restore older neighborhoods adjacent to downtown Jeffersonville.
Says Sekula, "We are really hoping that we are not only saving the houses, but we are also hoping to boost the neighborhoods in terms of owner occupancy for the further revitalization efforts in the community."
The money used for the sale will be used to offset the expense of moving the houses.
"These buildings really have the features that make urban living attractive," adds Sekula, "especially to young people who want to live downtown. We are a half block from the ramp to the Big Four Bridge."
Anyone interested in bidding on the houses should go to the Indiana Department of Administration surplus real estate website: www.in.gov/idoa/2702.htm.
The site includes pictures and detailed information on each of the five properties. The online bidding will end October 24 at 3PM.
Colliers International is performing the auction. No low bid has been officially set, but the state can refuse offers.
Preservation easements will be placed on each home. Those would be enforced by Indiana Landmarks.
A transferable five-year occupancy covenant is also required for any purchaser.

GradShare 360 - Wisdom Teeth
I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth removed; luckily for me it wasn't as excruciating of an experience as others had described. It got me thinking about why these third molars are called "wisdom teeth." Once I found the reason for that name, it made me feel more unimaginative than wise, which serves as a reminder that a little bit of logic and thought can often yield an obvious answer. Seeing as how the teeth appear between age 15-25, they gained the name "teeth of wisdom" because this is when a an adolescent mentally matures. The name dates back to the seventeenth century, and recent studies have shown accurate correlations between when these teeth appear and the time period when the brain fully develops. Let's check out some grad school news:
- It can be said that wisdom comes with experience, but what is more valuable: education or experience? The answer could factor into your decision to attend grad school or forgo academia for richer endeavors.
- Potential grad students need not always choose between an education or a career; The Council of Graduate Schools is helping to form a new group that will help ease the transition for grad students entering the workforce.
- For those of you that have decided to embark on your graduate school journey, take a look at these tips about the interview process and some advice for the new graduate student.
- One benefit of graduate school is the opportunity to meet new people and network, and with the increase of Chinese students attending American grad schools, you may just pick up a little Mandarin in the process.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Victoria's Secret Wifey Dumps Terrence J, R.I.P. "Different World" Star, Lil Wayne Rapped About Banging Bosh's Wife?
Thursday, Feb 21, 2013 10:03AM
Trapped Thursday. There's no place to run or hide to today and what better way to get it started than Terrence J getting the pink slip from his Victoria's Secret girlfriend? Or was it the other way around? Speaking of things coming to an end, rest in peace goes out to an unforgettable actor from "Different World." Some things will be missed in life, especially hints Lil Wayne may have provided about banging Chris Bosh's wife on records. All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. All Good Things
Remember when all the rumors were out about Terrence J and Rocsi Diaz possibly having something going on? Well, all that got shut down pretty fast when we started seeing Rocsi messing with Eddie Murphy and Terrence hooking up with Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks. Unfortunately, much like their roles on "106 & Park," things appear to have come to an end. Necole Bitchie has more:
It looks as though it's lights out for Terrence J and Selita Ebanks. The couple, who has been dating for two years, recently decided to part ways shortly after Terrence snagged a position at the E! News anchor desk. According to sources, his new job and acting gigs paired with Selita Ebanks current projects have caused scheduling conflicts and a rift in their relationship. Now, that she's moved on from Terrence and Victoria's Secret Angels, Selita is currently filming a TV pilot and working on a single that is set to drop sometime soon. She also just spent two days celebrating her 30th birthday with a camera crew in tow, which followed her around at two separate swanky parties. (Necole Bitchie)
We've seen plenty of couples look like they would never get back together and then end up being attached to one another at the hip for years, just look at Chris Brown and Rihanna. Could this be the same fate for Terrence and Selita? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. A Different World Without You
Rest in peace goes out to the late Lou Myers. He was a great actor on "A Different World" and most known for killing it as Mr. Vernon Gaines on the show Bill Cosby made famous a few decades ago. A lot of modern day actors/actresses got their starts on there, but Lou Myers had a certain chemistry and on-screen presence that begged for attention. TMZ has info on his unexpected passing:
"A Different World" Star Lou Myers -- famous for playing Mr. Vernon Gaines on the 80s show -- has died, TMZ has learned. The President of Lou's non-profit tells TMZ, Lou passed away last night in West Virginia at the Charleston Medical Center following a heart-related emergency. Lou was hospitalized in December for pneumonia but released after New Year's. He collapsed at home a few weeks later and was hospitalized again. Lou's heart stopped yesterday. Doctors were able to revive him, but he fell into a coma and passed just hours later. He was 77. And yes, his Wikipedia and IMDb pages are incorrect. We're told he lied about his age. According to official records, Lou's birthday was September 26, 1935. As one source put it, "You know how actors are." An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the official cause of death. We're told Lou -- who served in the Army -- will receive a military burial in West Virginia. He is survived by his son and his 95-year-old mother. (TMZ)
It's sad that even his mother, who is 95 years-old, outlived Lou. 77 is really young in the main scheme of things. All the best for the Myers family. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. The Hoax
Did Lil Wayne really let us know about his relationship with Adrienne Bosh a while back? Rappers are pretty notorious for name-dropping in their songs, but even more notorious for dishing out tales of mischief. Turns out Weezy may have let the cat out of the bag about his fling with Adrienne. Alleged fling, at least. All Hip Hop Rumors has more:
They say Lil Wayne would never lie about his sexual past and, I guess, he ain't. In a song, he seemingly once rapped about sex with Chris Bosh's wiz. Here are the lines, even though there are no names named. "Since she was this ball player's girl - I ain't go say names / I only saw her when that n***a had away games / Then we got closer - while he was miles away / You know what it is - white wine Issaac Hayes Since Wayne has lived in Miami for the longest, he's likely talking about somebody from the Heat. Damn, Bosh! (All Hip Hop Rumors)
It's hard to really say yes or no to this. For one, we've heard the greats like Notorious B.I.G. talk about bagging local NBA star's wives/girlfriends, but does that mean it really happened? If this is, in some way, true, then Wayne really does rap about that life. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
That about wraps it up for today. This is SOHH On The Spot giving you the morning scoop from your favorite gossip sites.

It's Back to the Future for Next Stark Vehicle
Stark Investments is teeing up a hedge fund that would use credit-default swaps to short subprime mortgage-backed securities.
The vehicle is noteworthy for a couple of reasons, starting with the fact that it represents Stark's first launch since the financial crisis. The strategy, too, is a throwback, similar to the play John Paulson, Steve Eisman and a few other prescient portfolio managers made just before the implosion of the subprime-mortgage market in 2007.
But Stark is making it clear that its planned RMBS CDS Opportunity fund doesn't represent a bet against the housing market or subprime mortgages per se. The St. Francis, Wis., fund operator sees a narrow window of only a few months to short the subordinate tranches of particular MBS issues suffering from severe loss rates.
Since marketing began in February, Stark has lined up $150 million of verbal commitments for the vehicle. No launch date has been set. But given the fund's strategy, Stark is expected to begin investing any day now.
Stark designed the strategy to capitalize on two trends. First is the apparent weakness of mortgage-backed securities issued just before the credit crisis. As an example, the fund's marketing documents cite a 2006 deal where 51% of the loans backing the bonds are delinquent and another 31% are in some stage of foreclosure. The fund will buy credit protection against the subordinate tranches of deals like this, where we think the level of delinquencies and severities will completely wipe out any value of underlying cash positions, according to the marketing documents.
The other trend has to do with the supply of attractively priced swaps contracts. Specifically, the Bank for International Settlements' pending Basel 3 rules are prompting banks to reduce their CDS exposure to avoid increased risk-based-capital requirements. As the banks dump their swaps contracts, Stark expects the cost of purchasing credit protection to drop.
Stark, founded in 1992 by Brian Stark and Mike Roth, has fallen from about $13 billion under management before the financial crisis to around $3 billion today. The firm manages assets in two main multi-strategy vehicles, Stark Investment and an offshore companion, Shepherd Investment, as well as a series of special-purpose vehicles set up to hold illiquid assets during the 2008 market crash. The Shepherd fund was up 6.9% in the first quarter.

(KYTX/CNN) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is suffering from new complications following his cancer surgery in Cuba.
Last night, Venezuala's Vice President Nicolas Maduro said the new problems were linked to a respiratory infection diagnosed during the treatment for cancer. Chavez first announced he was battling cancer in June of 2011 and has been undergoing treatment in Havana.
The 58 year old hasn't said what type of cancer he has and the government hasn't released much information about his illness.

Neither side is willing to accept blame for the partial government shutdown that went into effect today. House Republican leader Eric Cantor says it's the fault of stubborn Democratic senators who refuse to consider the House's proposals for delaying the new health care law. But President Obama says Republicans are putting the economic recovery at risk as part of an "ideological crusade" against the health care overhaul.
Speaking in the Rose Garden, the president said Republicans should not be able to hold the entire economy "hostage." He urged them to reopen the government quickly and allow furloughed federal employees to go back to work. The government shut down because Congress did not pass a funding bill ahead of Monday's midnight deadline for the end of the 2013 fiscal year.
Earlier, in a letter emailed to federal employees, Obama said the shutdown was "completely preventable." And he called on the House of Representatives to pass a law reopening the government and giving workers back pay. The president also lamented that government employees have become "punching bags" in Washington's partisan fiscal fights. About 800,000 federal workers are being forced off the job because Congress did not pass a bill to keep the government funded ahead of Monday's midnight deadline for the end of the 2013 fiscal year. Meanwhile, a Senate vote this morning has left Democrats and Republicans no closer to resolving the deadlock that has brought a partial shutdown of the federal government. The Senate today rejected the House's call to form a negotiating committee to resolve the deadlock. Republicans who control the House are still insisting on changes to President Barack Obama's health care law as a condition for providing funding to keep the government operating. Senate Democrats and the White House are rejecting that idea. The White House says it's open to making changes in the health care law, but not while federal spending is being held hostage. Moments after today's Senate vote, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put the blame on House Republicans. He said, "The government is closed because of the irrationality of what's going on on the other side of the Capitol." But Republicans say the shutdown is caused by the refusal of the White House to negotiate on the health care law. (AP)
U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) issued this statement after Congress failed to avoid a government shutdown: "It is extremely unfortunate that Congress was unable to make the tough decisions necessary to avert a government shutdown. This sort of governing by crisis is irresponsible, and Washington cannot continue down this reckless path. "The only reason we are in this situation is due to Washington's inability to produce a long-term budget and pass all appropriations bills, which is why I introduced 'No Budget, No Pay.' No question, failed leadership and a crippling inability to come to an agreement are shared failures by both parties," said Senator Dean Heller.
Governor Brian Sandoval this morning issued the following statement regarding the federal government shutdown:
"While the full impact of a federal government shutdown is not entirely known, the State of Nevada is well positioned to handle a short-term shutdown. With current available resources, Nevadans who receive SNAP benefits, unemployment benefits, or Medicaid should not see a disruption in services. Public safety will also not be affected.
"My Administration has been working with state agencies gathering information on potential impacts, and will continue to do so as more information becomes available. It is my hope that Congress can find a way forward to fund the federal government. However, if that does not occur the State of Nevada is prepared."

Red Hat Third Quarter Exceeds Expectations
Linux undertaking Red Hat has recorded a 24.3 million dollar profit in the third quarter of 2008, bettering last year's numbers.
Red Hat sales rose 22% to 165 million dollars compared to the third quarter of 2007. Software subscriptions for the U.S. company increased over the same period by 17% to 135.5 million dollars. The results exceeded analysts' expectations, despite economic times, the company's acquisition of Qumranet and undesirable foreign exchange rates.
Jim Whitehurst, president and CEO as of a few months ago, was pleased with the results and was hopeful about the future. He said that IT purchasing decisions will undergo some extreme rethinking considering the financial crisis and that open source companies such as his have a better chance at weathering the storm with their "low cost, high value" software. Linux Magazine Online had the opportunity to interview the Red Hat chief early December in Munich.

It can be difficult to choose which cruise line to go with when planning such an exciting vacation. Travelers who are looking for the best in on-board amusement should look towards Norwegian, whose Epic vessel was recently named in an online poll as the best for entertainment.
USA Today recently polled nearly 10,000 readers of its Cruise Log to determine the winner of the Cruise Ship Entertainment Smackdown. Norwegian Cruise Line's Epic ship emerged victorious with about half of the votes favoring the massive watercraft.
With a capacity for more than 4,000 passengers, everyone has the chance to enjoy all of the exciting offerings of the company's largest ship. Some of the best highlights include the Blue Man Group, who are icons on the Las Vegas Strip, and the Cirque Dreams & Dinner spectacular. The latter show is a circus-themed event where guests can see aerialists, acrobats, contortionists and more move around to impressive choreography while they enjoy a delicious dinner.
Other cruise ships in the running included the Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas, as well as the Disney Cruise Line's new vessel, Dream.

Proper Preparation For Church Service
( Originally Published 1902 )
NUMA, the great law-giver, who was one of the most religious men of antiquity, by his precepts and example turned the attention of the Roman kingdom to religion. He determined that the services should result in the greatest good to all the worshipers, and insisted that special preparation of mind and heart, by meditation and prayer, should be made for them. In all public ceremonies and processions of the priests a herald went before, who gave notice to the people of the holiday.
" For, as they tell us, the Pythagoreans would not suffer their disciples to pay homage or worship to the gods in a cursory manner, but required them to come prepared for it by meditation at home ; so Numa was of opinion that his citizens should neither hear nor see any religious service in a light or careless way, but, disengaged from other affairs, bring with them that attention which an object of such importance required. The streets and ways on such occasions were cleaned of clamor, and all manner of noise which attends manual labor, that the solemnities might not be disturbed.
There are many church members today who might read the instructions of the old king to great advantage. One reason why so much gospel-seed goes to waste is, because so many come into the sanctuary with the soil of the heart so poorly prepared for its reception. It is possible that some dear old saint, whom Satan has almost ceased to tempt, and some singularly spiritual soul will take the time or trouble to think about or pray over, on Sunday morning, the church services they expect to attend, but a large majority go to the house of God thoughtlessly, carelessly, prayerlessly. Some have had a great struggle with themselves to get out of bed and dress in time for service; others lay down with great reluctance the Sunday newspaper, with its gaudy pictures and almost countless columns ; still others are fretting over some bad luck they have had during the past week, or are planning for some good luck in their business, and thus they come, with a spirit which makes it almost impossible for any minister to preach a good sermon for them. They are better than the people who have so little interest that they will not attend the church at all, but only a shade better. Numa's plan of meditation and prayer as a preparation for public service, might be adopted with profit by the church people of to-day.

Do they make additional income through other venues related to football like advertisement & camps?I undestand the love of the game, but I'm assuming many coaches have families and children and not having the coaches bug in my blood looking from the outside it seems like quite a sacrifice for the $4,000 they get. I just assumed it was much more than that.

Because what coaches get for the time they put it, can be classified as sweat shop wages, yet those coaches never complain one bit. And for the numerous assistant coaches out there, the financial compensation is exponentially less than that of a head coach and they are there as much as the head coach. There is no way a head or assistant coach in AZ can make a living coaching football (maybe a private school can hire a coach without him being a teacher and make a living, but I doubt it.) And then you factor in all the drama a coach has to deal with. Administration, parents, the struggles of high schoolers and their fragile egos, inept athletic associations (AIA), etc., what person in their right mind would want to add all of to their regular life??? A very special person, that cares about his team, players and the game. These men are dedicated to teaching the great game that football is, because it parallels life. It's not a financially gratifying position, but the emotional and self gratification one gets is immeasurable.

Certain private schools pay their coaches (who do not teach any academic classes other than ones related to their sport) more money (for 9 months of work) than a master's degree/30+ year coach/teacher at a public school. Correct, that's private school and that's what makes them special. Hope all those state championships are making those "superior" schools worth the tuition and sheltered care. Would hate to wonder how all that works after $500,000.00 of coaching salaries and benefits spent with no State Championship at the end.
Posted: 12/18/2012 11:29 AM
what said was considering the head coach, 8 assistant coaches (not teachers) for the programs with benefits. If you still can't figure it out, don't worry about it. I will say at least these schools, with how small they actually are in student body size, compete with big dogs. There are several private schools with similar size in student body that compete 2-3 divisions down and just enjoy being superior with their monopoly of success playing public schools of the SAME attendance. But that's ok because like you were poking at, they don't make the Much more than their public school counterparts.

The world of education has helped to create a society that looks for short cuts and excuses. On the gridiron, there is no place for "accomodations", short cuts, 504 plans, etc. There is adversity, pressure, challenge, and teamwork. Many of these attributes have been lessened, diminished, or frowned upon these days. The sport of football provides the opportunity to learn to work within such things. In order for that to occur, a program must be facilitated by a COACH. For me, I relish the opportunity to be a part of such an experience. Its not always easy. Thats the point. The sport of football serves as a way to impart discipline, work ethic, and dedication. The 'reward' for one's hard work and dedication is not immediately experienced. Too many kids today seek instant gratification. Football helps teach that rewards are earned, and not right away. Again, such things are facilitated by a program and a COACH (and staff). In addition, such attributes as football knowledge, building relationsips occur as well. Understand, within any group there are those that understand the charge and flourish (not based on 'wins') and those that dont "get it". Every entity has a few 'bad apples'. But for the most part, those that coach football understand that it is a vocation just as much as a profession. Finally, there is also that aspect of the job that is pretty cool ... Friday nights. I have friends that make a very good living ($$$), but I would wager that they would love to be on the sidelines on Friday nights....

Lee County -- Organizers are busy setting the stage for a night of worship in Lee County.
The 403 Revolution is the idea of seven young people who want to make a difference in their community.

Ratings are in for last night's prime time TBS presentation of Fighting and Entertainment Group's DREAM.9, and although the show ended with some controversy, it seems to have been a modest success with viewers nonetheless.
DREAM event producer Keiichi Sasahara (right) told Kamipro that the show pulled an average 16.2% rating with a high of 19.1% during the Joe Warren-"Kid" Yamamoto bout. These numbers alone are nothing jaw-dropping, but are certainly marked improvements over the numbers for the last prime time-televised DREAM event - September 2008's DREAM.6 - which pulled a 9% average rating with a high quarter-hour of 13.4% during Yoshihiro Akiyama's match. Before DREAM.9, Sasahara stated that the promotion's goal was a 15% average.
Sasahara cited the Hokkaido and Fukushima prefectures as particularly strong markets, topping out at 22% and 20+% respectively.
The lead-in to DREAM and the first part of TBS' "Martial Arts Festival" saw Japanese boxing champion Daisuke Naito defend his WBC flyweight strap against China's Xiong Zhao Zhong. According to Sasahara, the bout drew a 20.4% rating - the second poorest prime time ratings draw of Naito's career, yet still enough to help buoy DREAM's numbers. For reference, Naito's strongest performance was a 40.9% average for his 2007 bout against Daiki Kameda.
