By Nigel M Smith | Indiewire September 11, 2013 at 9:26AM
After doing Canada proud by earning a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nomination for his 2010 thriller "Incendies," Quebequois filmmaker Denis Villeneuve returns to the Toronto International Film Festival with not one but two new features, both starring his new muse and bud, Jake Gyllenhaal.
In the higher profile of the pair, "Prisoners" (getting a wide release via Warner Bros. on September 20th), Gyllenhaal plays a detective trying his damnedest to find two missing girls (Hugh Jackman, Mario Bello, Viola Davis and Terrence Howard play the parents). The hard-hitting film, lensed by the legendary Roger Deakins, drew raves at Telluride before screening in Toronto (go here for Indiewire's glowing review), proving Villeneuve can make a studio thriller like the best of them.
"Enemy," a Canadian production shot prior to "Prisoners," is a smaller scale effort, but no less provocative and dark. Based on José Saramago's "The Double," "Enemy" features Gyllenhaal doing double duty as a paranoid teacher who discovers he has a doppelganger. Almost defiantly strange and boasting a surprise ending sure to divide audiences, "Enemy" plays like Villeneuve's nod to the David Cronenberg's films of yore.
Indiewire sat down with a visibly tired Villeneuve (can you blame him?) to discuss his two films, watching "Enemies" for the first time at the festival, and getting Hugh Jackman to go berserk.
This marks quite the Canadian homecoming for you. What's it like having two films at the festival?
I'm used to coming here to do press and to see good films. Now I'm just doing press, press, press and press. It's an endless tunnel of interviews. I didn't prepare myself. 10 days ago I was still with Roger Deakins supervising the last prints of "Prisoners." I might have finished maybe two weeks ago. So I was just running. I am not complaining at all. It's like a positive sign.
According to what you said at the premiere of "Enemy," last night marked the first time you saw the finished film. That ain't common.
The truth is it's the first time in my life that it happened, because I was doing two movies as the same time which means I had to supervise both. I did the final mix, so I supervised all of the sound and then I supervised all the visuals in total, but I've never see them both together. They gave me a screener. They said you could watch it on Blu-ray, but I said nope. It's going to be a fantastic experience to see it finished for the first time. "Enemy" is just such an experimental film that I thought it just fit the idea too -- this movie was based on taking a risk.
Was last night nerve-racking?
I won't do that again, of course [laughs]. Yesterday I felt naked, I felt too nervous.
Well, thanks to "Enemy," you can't be accused of selling out with your first Hollywood effort, "Prisoners."
Both movies were greenlit at the same time. Going from "Incendies" to "Prisoners" was too much of a big step and I needed to do something in English. I needed to explore acting before doing "Prisoners" in a more playful way. I needed to spend time with actors. "Prisoners" is my biggest movie so far, and in the same time I should say "Prisoners" is much closer to my previous work than "Enemy."
The performances you elicit in "Prisoners" are extraordinary. I've never seen Hugh Jackman so vulnerable on screen.
I never went to school for directing. I studied theater with a director. I followed plays to see how a director would talk to the actors. I tried to make my own school. But I felt after "Incendies" that I was always running and running with actors, going to different locations, not having time to spend with the actor to explore -- you know, build a relationship. I have a relationship with the cinematographer, the production designer, but with actors they are just like guest stars coming in and getting out.
I spent a month with Jake Gyllenhaal; drinking, eating, all that time together having fun talking about life, women, cinema, art, politics, and about about acting, acting and acting. It was just very inspiring for me, and what I learned on "Enemy" applied to "Prisoners." It's just a matter of relationships. Hugh Jackman is one of the nicest human beings on earth and he trusted me. It was so easy to direct him. He's such a great actor, so easy to work with, so precise.
Watching "Prisoners," I was not just fearful for the characters, but for the actors as well. The one-take scene where Hugh Jackman threatens Paul Dano's character with a hammer was especially tough to watch. How do you go about creating a safe environment for the actors on set?
It was a scene that was not in the screenplay. It is a scene that I asked Aaron Guzikowski [the screenwriter] to add. Our work on torture with Hugh was a lot about showing different modes of his vulnerability and his inner moral conflict. He goes berserk, but he's still a human being and he's still struggling. He's not a sadistic man. He just wants to find his daughter, and that's what I love about this scene. You feel just how helpless he is, he just wants to find her, but there is a limit that he can't cross.
To answer your question -- first off, the sink was fake. It was designed to be broken without being dangerous. Secondly, Hugh is a very precise actor. The thing about safety is you need to work with someone who is in total control of their gestures. He's a dancer, he's someone who is in total control of his body. Paul trusted him and everyone trusted Hugh. I know the first two takes were not what I wanted. I think if we had 15 sinks, Hugh would have made 14 not good takes. Not that they were bad, they were just not what I was looking for. I was looking for him to lose control. I will remember all my life when he came to me and said "Did you get it?" I said, "Yeah it was great, but it's not what I want." Then when he did another take there was a massive silence on set. One of the producers shouted "Touchdown!"
Are you yourself a father?
Were you therefore initially wary of taking "Prisoners" on?
Yes, I was deeply scared of the material at first. When I read it, as Maria Bello said a few days ago, when you make such a film you don't necessarily think about your own kids because you will go away from it so violently.
But I was just out of "Incendies" when I read the script and I said "No, it is too much." I felt that it was too much darkness, too much violence, and I was looking for something different. But it was coming back, coming back, coming back -- sometimes you are doomed.
The thing is about filmmaking is that you follow your inspiration. You don't do what you want. You do what you can do.
I was very afraid of going through the process of shooting. I was very anxious about a lot of scenes and there were a lot of scenes I was afraid of. I kept saying to myself all of the time, "We cannot fall into that cliche." We were walking a fine line and I was so lucky to work with Roger because he helped me so much staying on the edge of the cliff. We were just walking on the edge all the time.

Assembly Bill 109, also known as California's public safety realignment, allows nonviolent, non-serious and non-sexual offenders to serve their sentences in county jails and not in state prisons. AB 109, which took effect in October 2011, is a misguided remedy by Gov. Jerry Brown to address the federal court mandate to ease California state prison overcrowding.
After more than a year, after AB 109 has realigned the correctional penal system in California, crime has increased significantly in local Inland Valley communities.
Criminal offenders are being released prematurely without their treatment needs being adequately addressed in the county jail system. The suspension of the traditional parole revocation hearings and close parole supervision that California criminal offenders are required to go through, has contributed to a community environment in local cities in which public safety has become seriously and gravely jeopardized. The current state of public safety in our local communities is seriously at risk and the future looks even bleaker.
Before realignment, criminal offenders' adjudication procedures did not minimize an offender's entire criminal history. A dangerous gang member with a history of violence could be arrested for a small amount of marijuana. During the new court adjudication process under AB109, the gang member's entire criminal record, even if it includes his proven propensity towards violence and property offenses, will not be considered but will be exclusively based on the marijuana possession. Seventy percent of criminal recidivists in the penal system are substance abusers who have committed violent offenses and serious property offenses to support their drug addictions. Many of the early inmate releases who are being kicked out of county jails because of lack of county jail bed space fit this pattern.
State parole revocation hearings, now conducted by California judges under AB 109, have also jeopardized public safety. The process of revoking a parolee's parole under the strict and accountable guidelines set forth in state Parole Board hearings, and returning the parolee to state prison would result in reducing the criminal and violent propensities of inmates before they are released back to the community. State Parole Board hearings and parole revocation hearings are a prerequisite to safeguard public safety, but the process has been seriously compromised under AB 109.
Additionally, the county post-release community supervision, which has shifted parole supervision from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to California counties, has proven to be totally ineffective. Released parolees from county jails are taking advantage of this penal bankruptcy by committing more crimes because they are not being held accountable to the stricter state parole supervision, which includes strict drug testing, enrollment in alcohol and drug recovery programs, and actively looking for a job or enrollment in an educational institution or vocational trade program.
Of most significance, AB 109 has created a new correctional penal system in which the dignity and worth of the human being who is incarcerated in California county jails is being violated because of lack of effective treatment (drug recovery such as 12-step programs), educational, employment skills development, and mental health services that are not being provided at county jails. Religious programs (Protestant, Catholic, Native American, Muslim and Jewish) only exist at minimal or non-existent levels in the county jails. The two greatest factors in reducing the proclivity of a released prisoner to commit a new crime are educational and spiritual.
As a community, we have to support a parolee or gang member's chances of getting a job once released from incarceration by providing him/her the opportunity to participate in educational and vocational programs while being locked up. The spiritual conversion of a human being to turn his back to sin can only be offered through the effective religious and spiritual programs that are provided state prisons, and not the county jails.
The Inland Valley council of Peacemakers, a group of retired correctional peace officers who have served at-risk and in-risk youth, and parolees transitioning back to the community from correctional institutions, strongly recommends that AB 109 be re-examined by state legislators and that the community members participate and form strong collaborative relationships with local police to reduce crime in the Inland Valley.
Alfonso Villanueva is chairman of the Inland Valley Council of Peacemakers. He lives in Claremont. firstname.lastname@example.com

Matthews Preposterously Claims Obama Added 'Only 13 People' to Federal Workforce [UPDATED: Matthews Re-Records Audio]
On Thursday's Hardball, Chris Matthews preposterously insisted that Barack Obama added "only 13 people" to the federal workforce in 2009 and that the total number of individuals working for the U.S. government (as of 2010) was 4,443.
[UPDATE, 8:55 PM EST: Two hours later, in the otherwise identical 7 PM EST re-play, MSNBC inserted a new graphic and a new audio overlay in which Matthews corrected his incompetence without noting any change from his first broadcast: Video below features both versions. In the 5 PM EST hour, Matthews claimed "the federal workforce totaled forty-four hundred and thirty people in 2009 when Obama took office. In 2010, a year later, the number increased to forty-four forty-three people – a difference of only thirteen people." In the re-do, Matthews realized "the federal workforce totaled four million, four hundred and thirty thousand in 2009..."]
According to the Office of Personnel Management (the source Matthews cited), there were 4,430,000 federal employees by 2010 and the President increased the numbers by 13,000, not 13.
It's bizarre that Matthews would credulously repeat such obviously wrong information. After making his grossly incorrect statement, the liberal anchor lectured, "I know it's always great rhetoric to say the government is ballooning, exploding with people. The government is getting bigger and bigger to this leviathan. And it's not." Except, it is.
Audio, MP3 clip which matches the above video with excerpts from the 5 and 7 PM EST editions of Hardball.
It's unclear whether the OPM's numbers come from the start of 2009 or the end, after stimulus. A fairer comparison would be from 2008, the end of Bush's term. Between 2008 and 2010, the federal workforce (total, including military) expanded by 237,000.
To suggest that the government isn't "ballooning" or "getting bigger" is absurd. Fiscal spending in 2008 was just under $3 trillion. It was $3.7 trillion by 2010. That's an increase of more than 23 percent.
Shouldn't have Matthews (or one of his producers) realized what he was saying? Will MSNBC correct?
Matthews during the 5 PM EST live program:
"Well, here's the numbers, by the way, about the size of government. According to the U.S. Office of Personnel, the federal workforce totaled forty-four hundred and thirty people in 2009 when Obama took office. In 2010, a year later, the number increased to forty-four forty-three people – a difference of only thirteen people."
Matthews, in a new audio track for the otherwise unchanged 7 PM EST feed:
"By the way, here are the numbers. According to the U.S. Office of Personnel, the federal workforce totaled four million, four hundred and thirty thousand in 2009 when Obama took office. And in 2010 that number essentially stayed the same: just over four million, four hundred and forty thousand."
At 5 PM, the on-screen graphic listed 2009 federal employees at "4,430" and 2010 at "4,443." Two hours later, the on-screen graphic was updated to "4.43 MILLION" and "4.44 MILLION."
A transcript of the January 12 5 PM EST segment can be found below:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: But here he [Romney] is directing his guns at Washington.
MITT ROMNEY: This president puts his faith in government. We put our faith in the American people. This President is making the federal government bigger, burdensome and bloated. I will make the federal government simpler, smaller, and smarter. He raised- He raised the national debt. I will cut cap and balance the federal budget. This President- This President has enacted job-killing regulations. I will eliminate them.
MATTHEWS: Well, here's the numbers, by the way, about the size of government. According to the U.S. Office of Personnel, the federal workforce totaled 4,430 people in 2009 when Obama took office. In 2010, a year later, the number increased to 4,443, a difference of only 13 people. And local government during that time has gotten smaller dramatically. In 2009, it was 14.9 million people were working for state and local governments.
But, the number dropped to 14.7 in 2010, according to the Census Bureau. So, you know, John Heilemann, I know it's always great rhetoric to say the government is ballooning, exploding with people. The government is getting bigger and bigger to this leviathan. And it's not. And if anything, there's been the reality of the economic reports to come out every first Friday of every month, which are government jobs have been depleted.
They are shrinking. Everybody who lives in places like Scranton knows the pressure on mayors. And Philadelphia, a place I'm familiar with, you're always letting people go. What is- How can they keep selling the idea we have this gigantic growth of government when we also hear daily reports of lost jobs in government?
JOHN HEILEMANN (New York Magazine): Well, Chris, what I think Mitt Romney and others who believe that the federal's deficit's growth is a huge problem for the American economy and long-term prosperity, they will focus on the growth of government in the sense of the monetary, the fiscal growth of government. The size of the deficit. The size of debt. That's what he's going to hit on rather than the specific numbers. I think where he also-
MATTHEWS: But that's a result of the aging population and unemployment. You know that. It's not because they create new ideas to spend money. It's more people turn 65 every day than the day before. More people are getting sicker and using health care because they've understood what they can get from doctor's and hospital care- are using it more than ever. Those and more people are unemployed than ever before and that's why unemployment benefits and all kinds of benefits are going up.

This is worth remembering as this amateur continues to provide us with insight into election politcs throughout 2012.
How is it that a self-proclaimed veteran political analyst who doesn't catch such a ridiculous error on that employment table -- compounded when he did the math and declared the Federal increase was only 13 people -- can find hidden meanings in conservative quotes and agenda?
The short answer is (of course): He can't.
This pairs up well with his 'thrill up my leg" statement.

I can understand how a talking common tater, (better known as a spud), can misread something on a teleprompter as the text goes by. But to do a whole segment based on how the federal government only has 4,443 employees is absolutely amazing.
I would hate to be the producer who put together this story. On second thought, getting fired from MBSNBC and Chris Matthew's show may just be the luckiest thing to ever happen to this guy. Could turn his life around.

Chrissy who mercilessly and with personal vicious attacks pounced on Palin and others for misspeaking on issues makes a memorable one here and he doesn't have the guts or the class to admit a mistake when it's made. A thorough hypocrite who also is proving to be one dumb______er. Chris get the most out of that tingle because it's going away in November.

This tells you that for all the bitching we do about the stupidity of the Republicans, the Democrats' talking points are still archaic. They actually think people:
1) Believe this stuff still.
2) Are even listening when a HUGE majority are sitting at their kitchen tables broke, unemployed, or with family members/friends on the battlefield.

Roughly speaking
Submitted by DontFeedTheTrolls on Fri, 01/13/2012 - 7:36am.
Just a guess here: 4,443,000 Federal employees + 14,770,000 State employees = 19,213,000 total, average salary and benefits package $100,000 each.
At an average $75,000 per year salary, each private sector worker pays about $6,000 in taxes to support those government workers.
So how many private sector jobs does it take to pay all those government workers?
I come up with over 325,000,000 private sector jobs needed to support all those government workers.
Just a rough guess, as I said.

The level of general intelligence and professionalism (or lack there of) at MSNBC.
Government statistics released by almost any agency are almost always "in thousands" according to the column headings. Any moron knows that. Plus as others have noted, no person with even a modicum of common sense whould have thought that the Federal Government employed only 4,430 people!
This is what happens when ideology trumps everything in what you do. Why didn't any of the many people who were involved in that segment being broadcast accross the nation just simply pay attention to what was being claimed, and say "hold on there, this isn't right"? Because it met their ideological need to support Obama and attack his critics no matter what.
And then there is Chris himself who reads whatever rolls across that teleprompter regardles. Apparently they don't even reherse the shows anymore or proof read the copy. They just stick him out there and he starts reading.
Unless of course the 5pm EST show is realy just a dress rehersal for the 7pm EST show...

...to use a bit of liberal logic. His original number of 4430 was likely right, or possibly even inflated a bit, if looked at their way. Let's look at it a bit, shall we? The number quoted did not include military. The President is in charge of the executive branch. POTUS is also commander and chief of the military. Ergo, the executive branch is military! So, nobody to count there. Then there is the legislative branch...congress. Hmm, only congress can officially declare war. Ergo, congress is part of the military! So, nobody there to count. Who is left...the courts. Well, they get to decide if the other two branches are being legal and constitutional. And since the other two are military, and everyone knows only military courts have jurisdiction over the military, the courts must me military too!
So, just where do these 4400 people work in the government that is not military?

I'm so excited to see my new stash!
I ordered this Berroco Link which is this gianormous chain yarn
calling for something like size 50 needles!
Wonder if I will even knit this?
I might just put it in a bowl!
You know how much I love kid mohair... and this was on sale...
I got enough to make the Wrapigan!
What do you think?
The Wrapigan in kid mohair?! YES!
I can't believe it's taken me this long to try that!
...and because it was on sale,
and this color would be AMAZING in my new family room...
Yes, enough for a small throw for the chaise is on it's way!
...and last, but certainly not least...
Berroco's new Boboli
It reminds me of Noro, which I can't get enough of.
I knew I'd have to have some when Debbie @ The Fibre Studio
teased me with it last time I was there.
Again, no idea what I will do with it, but it too
would look amazing in my family room as a throw
on my robin's egg blue sofa!
I know, I've got some stitchin' to do!
I think the next bachelor season project will have to be a throw.

Gina Carano GQ Photo Shoot Video And Pics.
More Carano pics a GQ mag here.
not bothered she has sold out…. i would eat her out without hesitation
i think the sports world would do well to note that carano competed against WOMEN, and that her last loss was against cyborg, whom everyone must have known has been horribly abusing PEDs for many years. any casual bodybuilder or bodybuilding fan can clearly see the physical changes cyborgs body had taken that clearly marked her as a habitual steroid user.
I've done better.
Maybe I'm getting old, but these pics/clips do nothing for me. She just seems so out of her element. Her body is not slender like a model's, it's kind of straight and stocky like a guy's.
She has a pretty face, but that's about it.
I had the pleasure of meeting Gina while reporting at a local MMA event, we tried to interview her but she respectfully declined saying she wanted all the focus to be on her teamate who was the in the main event. She is super cool and WOW is more likely to eat a shlong than Gina.
This "sell out" crap is garbage. Gina kicked ass for years. She then trained her ass off and did incredibly well against a beast that was on steroids. She lost a fight that she likely would have won if all things were equal. It made her question herself as a fighter. You never want that or you become Brock Lesnar.
She was smart to take a break and make some big money in movies. I have a feeling that she may return with the news of Cyborg taking steroids and more. She was un-defeated until she was cheated.
Rousey and Carano would be an awesome fight.
She deserves respect for her achievements.
Also… Cyborg stands to pee.
yummeeeee mama!!!
yeah she is definitley not bothered…..especially when the proof is out…she got beat by a roid monkey…and she always knew it..but how can a woman compete against a chemically made man???? if i was her i would have walked away too…the only way she could compete is to juice herself….where is the sport in that….Im just glad cyborg got busted..no woman in history has ever been that musculine though genetics..heck even the hermaphodite sprinter frm africa looks more feminine than cyroid.
lost all respect for that chick.
Gina will always be my celebrity. Her attitude is what makes her extra ** hot **
I meant to say "celebrity crush"
I predict she will become a big Hollywood name in just a few years.
@wow Sold out how? cuz she wants to make millions instead of fight? Don't be ridiculous.
She should stick with acting,she's too good looking to be fighting,dont do it Gina.
i wonder if she puts dudes in triangles during sex?
She will always be my celebrity crush.
cool beat
I got a bag she can play with while i give her a lot of ground and pound.
@Death Grip
Your comment is bang on correct
Best female fighter in my book…and she's hot too
Rousey, Tate and Carano orgy is what i wanna see!
Not my type. But still hot as F***.
I thought her movie "Haywire" was going to suck as they kept on delaying its release.
(And, judging from the trailer, it seems they had a voice actor redub some of Carano's dialogue, and they show her speaking as little as possible).
But early reviews from rottentomatoes are %100 fresh, and I'm looking forward to watching an MMA star in an "A" list Hollywood movie.
Sadly, I don't think Gina will fight again. I still youtube her Kaitlin Young fight for its entertainment value.
@socktime.oops i mean shock..
she sold out cause she wont let me lick her trout..
added to the fact shes a marketing machine i dont blame her for not getting that pretty faced punched into next week again against mongloid-borg.
look i was resusitating my penis while watching this, dont hold me accountable for my words..
They painted abs on her gunt to make her look toned lol
cyborg is a better fighter. and probably a better lay. gina is a weiner cleaner.
I like the fact she looks a little akward! It proves she's a real person. She looks pretty f***** hot to me! I would totally wear her like a feedbag!!!
I like it BECAUSE she's not a stick like a model, she looks great, haters gonna hate.
She could bare me many fine strong sons….and I would love to put them in her.
she has not sold out… she has givin wood.

Insider: Cardinals interested in interviewing Jay Gruden
Sunday morning, CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora tweeted this:
Add the Cardinals to Jay Gruden's dance card. The Eagles also plan to interview the Bengals offensive coordinator this week— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 6, 2013
Gruden, the younger brother of former NFL coach Jon Gruden, has served as Marvin Lewis' offensive coordinator in Cincinnati the last two seasons. In both seasons, the Bengals made the playoffs despite having an inexperienced quarterback (2011 second-round selection Andy Dalton) behind center.
Before coming to Cincinnati, Gruden worked in the Arena Football league for 14 years. On two separate occasions (1998-2001 and 2004-2008), he served as the head coach of the Orlando Predators. In addition, Gruden was the head coach of the Florida Tuskers out of the United Football League in 2010.
Gruden knows a thing or two about the quarterback position, as well, having won four Arena Bowl titles as the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Storm.
Sunday night, the Cardinals VP of Media Relations Mark Dalton confirmed the team's interest in Gruden with this tweet:
.@azcardinals Sunday PM update: Met w Broncos OC Mike McCoy yesterday in DEN. Expected to speak this wk w Bengals OC Jay Gruden— MarkDalton (@CardsMarkD) January 7, 2013

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- AT and T has completed a 450-foot tall communications tower just outside the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
AT and T spokesman Alex Carey says the tower will be operational this summer. It replaces a shorter tower and increases the availability and reliability of mobile phone service in the BWCA near Ely. Visitors within range will be able to report accidents and summon medical help.
The Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness had argued the tall tower's flashing lights would harm scenic views in a federally designated wilderness. A trial court agreed, but the Minnesota Court of Appeals overturned that decision last summer, and the Minnesota Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
The group's executive director, Paul Danicic, says AT and T could have reached almost the same area with a shorter tower.

KWS continues to grow corn business
Annual Shareholders' Meeting 2005
Dividend unchanged at 11 euros – Executive and Supervisory Boards discharged almost unanimously – Criticism of the government's Genetic Engineering Act
(Einbeck, January 18, 2005/gf) – Today's Annual Shareholders' Meeting of KWS SAAT AG has decided to pay a dividend of 11 euros a share. The reason for this attractive dividend is the company's strong sales and earnings performance in fiscal 2003/2004, which ended on June 30, 2004. The KWS Group increased sales by 4.6% to €443.7 million compared with the previous year's €424.3 million. This growth would even have amounted to 8.1% had it not been for the depreciation of the U.S. dollar. Despite intensified sales and breeding activities, net income was €28.3 million, almost on a par with last year's figure of €28.9 million. Of the parent company KWS SAAT AG's net income (€14.8 million), half was distributed as a dividend and half transferred to the surplus reserves. The meeting, which was attended by over 500 shareholders representing 80% of the leading seed breeder's share capital, discharged the Supervisory and Executive Boards with only four votes opposing the resolution.
In the past fiscal year, KWS strongly expanded its corn segment in particular. Sales last year grew by a double-digit rate of 11.1% and accounted for 43% of business volume (previous year: 40.5%). The seed breeding company intends to continue expanding this segment. At the end of December, KWS' subsidiary AgReliant bolstered its market position by purchasing a U.S. company. "We are now the fourth-strongest corn breeding company in the U.S., and we will stay on our growth path," said Dr. Andreas J. Büchting at the Shareholders Meeting. "We also want the share of foreign sales to continue to grow." At present, the Einbeck-based company generates 71% of its revenue outside Germany.
The company hopes to spur growth above all from new varieties and thus intends to invest around 15% of sales in research and development in the future. Apart from products for traditional and ecological cultivation, KWS is also counting on genetically enhanced varieties. At the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, Büchting criticized the Genetic Engineering Act that has been passed. "Germany will miss the boat in genetic research, and professional jobs in research cannot now be created here."
The free float of KWS shares increased in December 2004 from 8% to just over 33%. As part of a re-placement of shares, there was good demand for the KWS shares held by Südzucker AG and Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, primarily from institutional investors in Germany, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Switzerland and Austria. The placement was oversubscribed 1.9 times at a price of €610 a share.
The Executive Board was optimistic about prospects for the current fiscal year 2004/2005 and expects to see sales grow again.

you crawled into your shell
with their demons
destiny wanted it
words ache at my tongue
when my day is done
in a different way
something I can't understand
from a distance
boy in a box
sent from my iPhone
of my ludicrous imagination
love's forgiveness eases
things I can never
it hte R Lv ?
spills out in radiant red
but hiding from you
never really there, but then
I like you, most days
the bee's knees
emotion of euthanizing
new power into my veins
my worst nightmare
silently continue
your sadness
sung the song of mystery
what I love about you
the outside world was
if I let you in again
because on the inside
how to reach you
wrapped our arms and legs
pulling me up to you
real sweet shit
in equal parts
poetic words have failed
a fountain singing to
a succession of images
I don't need words
you had your reasons
inside of the truck
the angelic creature
I hardly get to see
even after so much trying
despite not actually knowing
never happiness
what lies ahead
your burned friend
talking and texting
unspoken between us
and nights like tonight
you love machinery
helped me out
to bless me with
These words ache at my tongue every time we end a phone call. I feel like a balloon that could pop in any moment. These words just hang over the edge of tongue; dancing behind my lips. I keep them locked away because if I were to say them to you, I would mean them.
I know what you have been through with your previous relationship. And I don't want you to think that I am asking you to rush into building one with me. I just want you to know how these words play over and over again in my head; the same way my favorite songs like to do. I want you to know how I feel these words.
I know that perhaps these words are too much too soon. But the truth is, that these words have always been here within me....playing this sort of waiting game. I feel like all the choices I have made and all the roads I have taken....have led me here, to this very point.
I think that some things do happen for a reason. These words are not easy ones to utter. These words are not easy ones. These words give me goose bumps. These words can actually be quite terrifying for the person longing to say them.
Our past is a unique one. When at times I wished we were more back then, I am actually kind of thankful that it never escalated; until now. But what is now for you?

Randy Couture's ex-wife, Kim Couture, fought again this past Friday and the finish was a gruesome thing to watch. She fought Sheila Bird on AX Combat 1, and "Sugar Free" got choked unconscious by leg scissors in less than 2 minutes.
Kim has now lost two in a row, and has dropped her overall professional record to 3-5. What's most notable on this bout though, was the incompetency of the referee. Kim was clearly out moments after the leg scissors was locked in, but the referee still let the fight go on. By the time it was stopped, Couture had been stuck unconscious on the choke for at least 10 seconds, and it took about a minute before Couture regained her consciousness.
Things have to change, as it is incompetent officiating like this that severely risks a fighter's health, and could lead to permanent damage or even death.
Check out the video below to see for yourself.

Just in the last two days, I've heard about two new people... get a cancer diagnoses.
these are friends of friends.... but it seems that more people are being touched by the disease.
Thank you again for supporting the Conquer Cancer Run, the American Cancer Society's relay for life events, and to local organizations which raise money for cancer research.
Here's a thank you to all those involved in research to find a cure for cancer. I pray you stay inspired to find that cure. That one day I'll be able to announce on the news that there is a cure.
There are more drugs available today in the fight against cancer, there are more success stories... And there's more hope than ever before that we can beat this killer.

And i was, for the lack of a better word, shiet! Listening to myself utter rubbish was definitely a new low on my attempt to break into the male-dominated industry of football punditry/sports journalism. Who am I kidding? I'm not technical in my football knowledge and it does not help that I was ill-prepared. But rather than wallow in self-pity, I just have to pick myself up and work harder.
Hubby mentioned that I would need to take up a public speaking course because I stumble a lot on my sentences, and I took so long to find the right word sometimes. What can I say…I was initimidated. Neil Humphreys, Mayur Bhanji and Jason Dasey were season pros when it comes to footie talk. Chris reckoned I'd need a few drinks to loosen. He did give me a neat idea to have an all-girls podcast.
"So what do you think of mohawks everyone is sporting" "Who's hotter: Torres or AVB?"
I wish I could impress Jason Dasey more but the nerves and mental exhaustion (read: lack of sleep) got the better of me.
In the meantime, feel free to have a listen. Let the bashing and facepalms begin: http://footballfeverpodcast.com/podcast/FootballFeverPodcast06_171011_BackbeatStudios.mp3

Cell Phones are Killing Love
After having a long conversation with a friend about relationships, I began to think about why I constantly find myself getting sick of a girlfriend after hitting that six-month mark. I think of my parents and wonder in amazement about how they have managed to put up with each other for so long, but then it dawned on me – the problem with relationships in our generation is the cell phone.
Social networks like Facebook and Myspace play a role in this as well, but the cell phone is number one culprit when it comes to the quick demise of what started as a great relationship. Think about it. Our parents grew up in a world without cell phones. Typically, the man held down an eight hour, 9-5, job with lets say a combined commute of an hour each day. Even if we factor in a 15 minute phone call from a lunch break and then maybe another at the end of the day, this adds up to over 40 hours a week of non-conversation between a couple.
If I were physically unable to converse with a girlfriend for 40 hours per week, I'd bet that I would be twice as excited to spend time with her. She would represent everything other than the stress of work, and both she and I would have eight hours a day to develop and store topics and ideas, which would lead to hours of exciting conversation in the evening. Today, there is no barrier of personal space between couples.
Yes, initially, cell phones and text messaging offered a way to send cute messages to your significant other throughout the day. But now they've morphed into what seems to be a constantly open line of communication, a day-long running conversation if you will, which we are expected to be constantly keeping up. After hours and hours of meaningless, forced messages and conversations, how could we not get sick of each other? I used to think my dad was ridiculous for refusing to get a cell phone. Now I'm certain he's one of the smartest men I know.

A few weeks ago I read an article online that listed some of the best names to ever grace the lineup of a baseball game. Most of these were nicknames, a shame for those not included on the merits of their birth names alone. So I have compiled a list of what I feel are the men who rank among the best birth names in the history of MLB in Cleveland. There are many who didn't make the cut and several more who are included on an additional list I am compiling of fantastic nicknames, which I hope to also post in the near future.
Men like Eric Plunk, Rich Hand, Ed Fitz Gerald and Jack Brohamer didn't make this list, but deserve a mention for having peculiar names. Now, on to the list!
12. Scott Scudder - William Scott Scudder
RHP for the Tribe from 1992-93. This is a throw in as someone who has a semi-fun sounding name and the distinction of being my earliest memory of the Indians.
via static.bbref.com
11. Phil Bedgood - Phillip Burlette Bedgood
Mr. Bedgood was a Cleveland lifer in a career that lasted from, 1922-23. A RHP who appeared in 10 games, with a record of 1-2 and an ERA near 5, he clearly peaked in his only performance his rookie year when he pitched a complete game, striking out 5 and allowing 4 earned runs on 7 hits. He also managed to hit 3 batters and walk another 5 in that game. Four years after the end of his MLB career, he died of burst appendix while being treated for a strained side muscle.
10. Milton Bradley – Milton Obelle Bradley, Jr.
As if to set himself apart from the other Milton Bradleys of of the world, this one has the market cornered on erratic behavior in the MLB. Still chugging along after debuting in 2000, Milton was in the employ of the Tribe from 2001-03, a tenure that LGT won't soon forget. Those were interesting times to say the least.
9. Horace Speed – Horace Arthur Speed
Listed as an OF and Pinch Runner, he debuted in 1975 with the SF Giants and didn't resurface again until 1978 with the Indians. Absolutely useless at the plate, it is easy to see why, combined with his name, he was relegated to pinch running duties.
via static.bbref.com
8. Early Wynn – Gus
A RHP who needs no introduction. Had his career year in 1959, winning the Cy Young Award, finishing 3rd in MVP voting and winning Sporting News' Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year. He was an Indian from 1949-57, the bulk of his career. He won Indians Man of the Year in 1952, sporting that slick name the entire time. Much like Al Kaline, the uniqueness of his name seems often overshadowed by his talents.
via static.bbref.com
7. Dick Braggins – Richard Realf Braggins
Pitched in 1901 for Cleveland, appearing in 4 games, starting 3, finishing 2 and winning 1. His only notable stat in either direction, over a total of 32 innings pitched, is his 0.3K/9 and .07K/BB. The legend of Dick Braggins.
via static.bbref.com
6. Roger Peckinpaugh – Roger Thorpe Peckinpaugh
A SS from Wooster, OH, he made his debut in 1920 with Cleveland and pitched with them again in 1912-1913, subsequently being traded to the Yankees for Bill Stumpf and Jack Lelivelt. Despite a meager stat line of .259/.336/.335 and an awful Fielding% of .949, he remained in the bigs until 1927, winning the League Award in 1925. After retiring from playing, Roger went on to manage the Indians and eventually became the GM/President for a period of time.
5. Rivington Bisland – Rivington Martin Bisland
A man who could never live up to the epic proportions of his name, Rivington Bisland's career spanned from 1912-1914. As a SS, he made a stop in Cleveland for 18 of his career 33 games, in 1914. He OPSed and paltry .317 but managed some skill with the glove. One thing he did succeed in doing was living into 80's, dying in 1973 at the age of 82 in Salzburg, Austria.
via static.bbref.com
4. Ossee Schreckengost – born Ossee Freeman Schrecongost, also played as Ossee Schreck
A C/1B who was in Cleveland from 1898-99 and for 18 games in 1902. In 1899 he was swapped from Cleveland to St. Louis and back again for no compensation. In the 1901-02 offseason, he was traded back to Cleveland for Candy LaChance, another top flight name, before his subsequent release. He was an average hitter and a below average defender who must have had some positional value as 751 of his 855 games came behind the plate and enjoyed an 11 year career. Later, as a member of the White Sox, he was the last out of Addie Joss' perfect game in 1908. This was also Ossee's final game.
via static.bbref.com
3. Grover Cleveland Lowdermilk – "Slim"
1916 – 1909-1920 – RHP - While not the only Grover Cleveland (Insert Surname) to play in the majors and not even the only one to play for Cleveland, this one has the best name of them all. Was also a member of the 1919 Black Sox but was not part of the scandal. Grover apparently had a fearsome fastball with an even more fearsome lack of control.
via static.bbref.com
2. Denton True Young - Cy
Most of you know him as Cy, the namesake behind the prestigious MLB pitching award, yet others know him as the all time leader of innings pitched. What most don't know is his real name, Denton True Young. Prestigious, slick and honorable, all things a good name should be. Made his debut with the Spiders in 1890 and stuck around until after the 1898 season when he was assigned to the St. Louis Perfectos for no compensation. He made a farewell tour with the Naps in 1911, before being shipped to Boston and subsequently retiring. Denton True Young.
And the winner...
via static.bbref.com
1. Bristol Robotham Lord – "The Human Eyeball"
Funky, seemingly unexplainable nickname aside, Bris Lord should be famous to all Indians fans. In 1910 he was traded to Connie Mack's A's for Morrie Rath, who OPSed .538 that year and was gone the next, and a young man with a curious nickname himself, Shoeless Joe Jackson.
I have no idea how one attains the nickname "The Human Eyeball," but I can imagine. And that is good enough for me.

It's only a matter of time. "OMG WHITE peeps R INSANE." "This is SO me." "OBAMA HATES WHITE PEOPLE." All your high school friends who you haven't seen in five years, the Jasons and Judis of the world, will soon be spamming your Facebook with "White People Crazy," an ode to those kooky Caucasians, from rapper Rawcus.
He's a mysterious guy. He's even wisely remaining anonymous because "it's a safer decision that no one knows who I am or what I look like. I'm just being careful. The mystery of who I am just adds more and more to the draw and talk about me." We do know one thing, though: he thinks Linsday Lohan is crazy. Even white people know that.

" There is no antidote, he writes, against the opium of time. The winter sun shows how soon the light fades from the ash, how soon night enfolds us. Hour upon hour is added to the sum. Time itself grows old. Pyramids, arches and obelisks are melting pillars of snow. Not even those who have found a place amidst the heavenly constellations have perpetuated their names: Nimrod is lost in Orion, and Osiris in the Dog Star. Indeed, old families last not three oaks. To set one's name to a work gives no one a title to be remembered, for who knows how many of the best of men have gone without a trace? The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when wretchedness falls upon us one summer's day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten."
- The Rings Of Saturn by W.G. Sebald

Robert the Bruce - Early Life:
Robert the Bruce was born July 11, 1274, to Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale and Marjorie, Countess of Carrick. Raised in a mix of Anglo-French and Gaelic cultures, Robert became Earl of Carrick upon his mother's death in 1292. The same year, he witnessed English King Edward I award the Scottish crown to John Balliol over his grandfather Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale. Displeased with the decision, Robert viewed John as a usurper and refused to swear fealty to the new king. After traveling to Ireland in 1294, he married Isabella of Mar (d. 1296) the following year.
Robert the Bruce - The Wars of Independence Begin:
With the outbreak of war between John and Edward in 1296, Robert initially backed the English king and swore fealty in August 1296. This proved short-lived and the following year, he switched his allegiance and joined the Scots. Continuing to vacillate, Robert and several other nobles returned to Edward's camp on July 7 through the Capitulation of Irvine. In the wake of the Scottish victory at Stirling Bridge in September, he again defected and attacked English forces in Annandale and Ayr. The defeat led Edward to bring a large army north the next year which defeated Sir William Wallace and the Scots at Falkirk.
As Edward worked to consolidate his position after the victory, he saw Robert as a one the rebelling nobles who could be won back to his cause. As a result, Annandale and Carrick were among the few lands not reassigned to his followers. Despite this, Robert continued to oppose Edward and was made joint Guardian of Scotland with John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch in 1298. A key supporter of John Balliol and also possessing a claim to the throne, Comyn was Robert's foremost enemy in Scotland. As the two men proved unable to work together, William Lamberton, Bishop of St. Andrews, was also made a guardian in 1299.
This arrangement continued to prove untenable and by 1301 all three had resigned in favor of Sir John de Soules. Though Edward campaigned in Scotland, he proved unable to subjugate the country. After agreeing to a nine-month truce in early 1302, he wooed many of the nobles, including Robert, back into his fold. Marrying Elizabeth de Burgh that year, Robert was compelled to watch as Edward effectively took control of Scotland over the next two years. Becoming Lord of Annandale in 1304 after his father's death, Robert possessed significant land and wealth in Scotland.
Robert the Bruce - Death in Dumfries & King of Scots:
Due to his history of switching sides, Robert was viewed with some skepticism by both the English and Scots. While Edward had concerns about the Scottish noble plotting against him, Robert's ambitions north of the border were blocked by Comyn. Despite this animosity, some sources indicate that in 1305, Robert agreed to forfeit his lands to Comyn in exchange for the latter's support for his claim to the Scottish throne. In early 1306, Robert, then at the English court, was warned by Ralph de Monthermer that Edward intended to have him arrested. Fleeing that night, Robert rode north.
Meeting with Comyn at Greyfriars Church in Dumfries on February 10, Robert accused him of treachery. The two men soon came to blows and Robert stabbed Comyn. Falling, he was finished by two of Robert's friends. Traveling to Glasgow, Robert immediately confessed and sought absolution from his friend Bishop Robert Wishart. This was granted and Wishart began rallying the clergy to the Bruce cause. Having set events motion by eliminating his rival, Robert asserted his claim to the throne and was crowned King of Scots at Scone on March 25. This was attended by the leading nobles and clergy of the realm.
Robert the Bruce - From Hiding to Victory:
Believing the murder of Comyn to have been planned, Edward wrote to the Pope seeking Robert's excommunication and began directing forces against him. As Robert raised his troops, he was also confronted by those loyal to the Comyns. In June, Robert was defeated at the Battle of Methven by the Earl of Pembroke. Following this defeat, he ordered his wife and family north, while he was nearly taken at Strathfillan. While Robert and his party were forced to flee to the island of Rathlin, his wife, daughter, and sisters were captured at Tain late in the year.
Returning to Scotland in February 1307, Robert arrived at Turnberry Castle and began a guerilla war against the English. Commencing his campaign, he beat Pembroke at Glen Trool and Loudoun Hill in March and May respectively. Though Edward had come north in 1307 to deal with Robert, he died on July 7 cutting the campaign short. With the English threat gone, Robert moved north to pacify the Highlands. After taking Inverlochy and Urquhart Castles, he burned those at Inverness and Nairn before being turned away at Elgin. Consolidating his hold, he planned a campaign against the Comyns for 1308.
Advancing, Robert defeated John Comyn, Earl of Buchan at the Battle of Inverurie in May 1308. Breaking the Comyn's power, the victory allowed him to commence the "Harrying of Buchan" which saw Robert's followers systematically eliminate Comyn's supporters. Moving west, Robert inflicted a similar fate upon Clan MacDougal which had aided the Comyns in the past. Having asserted royal power over the lands north of the River Tay, Robert called his first Parliament in 1309. Fully recognized as king, he also officially received the support of the church.
Over the next three years, Robert's forces pushed south taking Linlithgow, Dumbarton, and Perth. Scottish forces also raided the Isle of Man to prevent its use by the English. In 1314, Scottish troops laid siege to Stirling Castle while the Earl of Moray completed the daring capture of Edinburgh Castle. Spurred to action by the siege of Stirling Castle, the new English king, Edward II, marched north to its relief. As the English approached on June 23, Sir Henry de Bohun, nephew of the Earl of Hereford, spotted Robert riding in front of his troops and charged. The Scottish king, unarmored and armed with only a battle axe, turned and met Bohun's charge. Evading the knight's lance, Bruce cleaved Bohun's head in two with his axe. The next day, Robert led his army to a decisive victory over Edward at the Battle of Bannockburn. With the English fleeing south, Robert had effectively secured Scottish independence.
Robert the Bruce - Later Reign
With Scotland largely secured, Robert sought to create a greater Gaelic state by invading Ireland. While supported by the population of Ulster, this enterprise ultimately failed and resulted in the death of his brother, Edward Bruce, in 1318. Despite the defeat in Ireland, that year saw Robert capture the key border town of Berwick. With Scottish prestige on the rise, the country's nobles issued the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320. Directed to Pope John XXII, it sought recognition for the nation as a kingdom and sought to overturn Robert's excommunication. In 1323, Robert was recognized as king by the Vatican and a truce was signed with England. Further recognition from abroad came in 1326, when France renewed its alliance with Scotland through the Treaty of Corbeil.
Having worked to reform Scottish laws, Robert achieved his ultimate goal in 1328 with the signing of the Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton. Concluded with new King Edward III, it recognized Scottish independence, Robert the Bruce and his heirs as rightful rulers, and set the borders. Robert the Bruce died on July 7, 1329, barely a year after the treaty's signing. While his body was buried at Melrose Abbey, he directed that his heart be removed and taken on crusade. This request was later honored by Sir James Douglas. Robert's son by Elizabeth de Burgh took his place on the throne as David II.

Alleged Craigslist thieves face felony charges
The suspects, Adam Quinney, 22, of Weare, Daniel Chesley, 23, of Conway, and Allen Downs, 27, of Weare were arrested in November following a police investigation and surveillance at a storage facility on Route 25/Whittier Highway in Moultonborough.
According to the indictments, Quinney, Chesley and Downs are charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of theft by unauthorized taking, and one count of attempted theft by unauthorized taking, all felony level offenses.
The trio allegedly created an ad they posted on Craigslist, advertising a tractor and truck bed free for the taking at a location on Whittier Highway. They then arrived at the location and loaded the tractor onto a trailer. They also allegedly stole tools, Co2 tanks, copper and brass pipes, and electric motors with a total value of more than $1,500.
In a prior interview, Moultonborough Police Department Sgt. Peter Beebe said the arrests resulted from investigations into two separate thefts from the same storage area in late October, early November. He said they first posted the ad for the tractor on Craigslist then came and took the tractor. The ad was posted ostensibly to create an alibi, said Beebe.
When the men allegedly returned to the storage area on Friday, police had set up surveillance on the property and caught the men stealing a truck bed and other items. The tractor was recovered at a Tamworth salvage yard where it had been sold for scrap.
Arraignments on these and other new felony indictment cases will be held on March 13 at Carroll County Superior Court in Ossipee. The morning docket begins at 8:45 a.m.

ROTOWORLD.com is reporting that the EAGLES called about Schef but McD says he's isn't going anywhere. The reported asking price is a 1st rounder but its suspected a 2nd or 3rd would get the deal done.
From Rotoworld:
The Eagles phoned the Broncos about Tony Scheffler's availability recently.Philadelphia lost out to Atlanta for Tony Gonzalez, but could add more speed and youth with Scheffler, who has experience in a West Coast style offense like Andy Reid's. The Denver Post says the Broncos won't trade Scheffler unless they're offered a first-round pick. We're confident he can be had for at a second- or third-rounder, though. Josh McDaniels' offense uses TEs little, Scheffler's in a contract year, and he's been on the trade block for months. Apr. 25 - 2:59 am et
