The Nutrition and Dietetics (Didactic Program in Dietetics) track prepares students to enter dietetic internships and careers in food and nutrition. The Undergraduate Nutrition Science track prepares students for successful entry into graduate programs and professional programs such as medicine, physical therapy, dentistry, pharmacy, and optometry. The Nutrition curriculum at the University of the Incarnate Word integrates the study of biology, chemistry, behavioral sciences, and business into various areas of nutrition, including food preparation, food service, community nutrition, nutrition education, and nutrition therapy.
The Mission of the University of the Incarnate Word Nutrition Program is to prepare professionals committed to providing nutrition and dietetic services to improve the health and well-being of individuals and groups. The program emphasizes the importance of scientific and evidence-based practice, ethical decision-making, and understanding of social justice issues including regional through global ecological dimensions of food and nutrition.
Both tracks are rooted in diverse nutrition coursework that provides all nutrition students with didactic and experiential training related to food preparation, nutrient requirements, nutrition education and counseling, cultural influences on food selection and intake, global and domestic issues related to access to food, nutritional assessment, human metabolism, and medical nutrition therapy. Students will develop team-work skills working collaboratively on variety of curricular and extra-curricular activities. The Nutrition program enjoys strong connections with a variety of clinical, community and business sites for student skill development.
The Nutrition faculty is dedicated to the professional development of our students. We provide counseling and advising to help our students establish professional goals, develop and maintain a professional portfolio, investigate further education and training, and apply for potential scholarships, dietetic internships, and advanced education.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the employment of dietitians to increase between 18 to 26% through 2014, faster than the average growth for all occupations.
This is due to an increasing emphasis on disease prevention through improving dietary habits. Graduates of the University of the Incarnate Word Nutrition programs have been primarily placed in positions related to food and nutrition in San Antonio, Texas. The majority of our graduates either obtain placement in a dietetic internship or pursue graduate education after receiving their bachelor's degree.
Graduates of the University of the Incarnate Word are employed in the following areas: health care, food service management, food industry, community nutrition programs and governmental agencies, private practice, wellness, sales, research, and media communications.

how many nonmember planets
are in Federation space?
there has to be plenty, as there probably many non-warp civilizations.
also, are there any non federation territories completely enveloped by the federation?
As many as the writers deem appropriate for the story they are telling.
That's an interesting question. Pre-warp civilisations are left alone, but how many space-faring species in Federation space choose not to join the UFP? This might be an interesting theme for a new Trek series, even when it bears some resemblance to the Maquis arc in DS9.
VOY and ENT art designer Geoffrey Mandel postulated in his Star Trek: Star Charts atlas that there are over 7100 planets that are affiliated with the Federation but aren't exactly members (due to their location among the 150+ actual member planets, however, they still fall under the protection of Starfleet). Among these non-member worlds, however, are also various colonies and uninhabitable worlds that don't have actual member world status but are geographically within the Federation...
There is one thing I allways deemed strange, when it comes to Sci-Fi alike Star Trek (TV-Shows, Movies, Books, Computer Games, RPGs, etc.): Star empires are allways depicted like nation states with a cohesive astrographic space. Allways feels naive to me.
If we think about star empires, then we must envision something more alike the naval empire of the UK or colonial empires in general. Many points of interest scattered all over a star map.
For instance the whole idea of a neutral zone seperating star empires from eachother is rather funny, I think. I find it much more believable when we would see confusing chaotic star maps clustered with systems affiliated with the different empires and independent systems in between.
But then again, occasionally, Star Trek does feel alittle like this, when there are species and political powers you have never heard of before and never hear from again, who are not members or allies of the Federation: Gorns, Tholians, Sona and Baku, Orions, etc. On screen it doesnt feel as if these are far away from earth. Its just those folks who make those star maps, who feel the need to give us star empires with a cohesive territory.
It's probably not strictly naivete - just keeping it simple and clear for visual displays etc.
But it's a good question.
And what would happen if a planet 'within' Federation space reached warp flight and decided they didn't want to be associated or involved with the Federation.
Or a non-aligned planet within wanted to create it's own alliances with another non-aligned planet.
Galactic politics becomes messy very quickly!
If a non-member world wanted to trade with the Romulans, they would have to go to Romulans themselves with the knowledge that their ships would likely be intercepted by Federation customs or Starfleet on their return. Sure, those non-Federation worlds could (and probably do) balk at the idea of having their ships continually stopped and searched for contraband, but that's the price they pay for transporting goods through Federation space.
But did those planets agree to be encircled by Federation space or did the Federation decide it for them? Perhaps because at the time they were not space-faring? Or First Contact had yet to be made?
If such a planet pops up - and it doesn't decide to join, then who decides upon the borders of it's space?
In that case there should be agreed 'neutral' trade routes that do not come under any one powers' auspices and allows planets to conduct their business without the automatic nosiness of another looking into every ship that comes and goes.
If a non-member world is trading with the Romulans it's essentially none of the Federation's business without justifiable grounds it's anything of danger to them and it's simply intereference in the affairs of a sovereign planet if they do inspect all shipping.
Unless the Federation does it to make life as difficult as possible for the non-member in the hope they take the easier option and join up.
The Federation probably has a standing policy of declaring the entire star system of a pre-warp civilization as being off-limits and likely establishes territorial treaties with warp-capable civilizations who choose not to join the Federation.
But the Federation does seem to have an "open door" policy in regards to trade, except with those nations that it recognizes as being an enemy (such as the Romulans, for example). In that case, the Federation would have the right to prohibit its enemies from passing through their space.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Chris Paul is quickly returning to form and the Los Angeles Clippers are back to their winning ways.
Paul had 21 points, 11 assists and five steals in three quarters of work as the Clippers routed the Philadelphia 76ers in a wire-to-wire victory, 107-90, on Monday.
Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford both netted 20 points for Los Angeles, which has won two straight after losing its first contest since Paul returned Friday against the Miami Heat.
Paul had missed 12 of the Clippers' previous 14 games due to a bone bruise on his right knee cap. Los Angeles went 6-6 during his absence.
Los Angeles led by as many as 32 points in the blowout.
The highlight of the game came in the third when Griffin leapt and dunked over the Sixers' Spencer Hawes. Along the left baseline, Griffin went up strong with both hands and switched to his left before ferociously throwing it down.
"That was nasty," Paul said of the dunk.
Nick Young had 29 points against his former team to lead the Sixers, who have dropped two of their last three tilts.
The Clippers got off to a 10-1 start and never looked back.
They led 30-22 after a quarter of play, 56-33 at the half and 88-59 heading into the final frame.
"Their defense was tremendous," Sixers head coach Doug Collins said. "Their bigs are so active and quick ... they were impressive."
The Clippers moved to 24-6 this season when scoring 100-or-more points ...
Evan Turner, Jrue Holiday and Jeremy Pargo all poured in 10 points for
Philadelphia ... The Clippers went 4-4 on their road trip.

Try These Aging Tips To Keep A Youthful Appearance
In terms of aging, there is absolutely no perfect formula that suits everyone, but there are many practical ideas that can get you moving on making your own personal individualized plan. Be determined to live the most effective you are able to, as long as you can. Many aging issues may be remedied by good management and usage of the following.
Begin taking resveratrol as being a supplement. Caloric restriction diets have been shown to extend life and minimize abnormal insulin levels. Seen in red wine, resveratrol mimics those benefits. You can also find it within the roots of your plant referred to as Japanese Knotweed, this really is commonly used in supplements. Resveratol is also within Senna quinquangulata roots at the same time.
Challenge your brain often to hold it healthy. As we age comes wisdom, but that doesn't mean you ought to stop looking for new knowledge. Find something you love understanding and look into different possibilities for learning, for instance a college class or books.
To help age gracefully, always go about learning new things. Learning is very important in any way stages of life.
Try to get enough sleep each night. Most people need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. Conditions like depression and heart-related illnesses could be associated with too little regular sleep.
Maintain your mind active by constantly learning interesting things. Aging is not going to stop you from learning interesting things. Whether you are taking a training course on computers or do one of those particular tricky newspaper puzzles, your brain will constantly attend work and gaining knowledge.
Go one stage further while you are exercising. When the body ages, you must provide more activity and so the body can stay strong. Exercise could be simple, like going for a daily walk. Do weight training twice a week also. This really is the easiest way to keep your body in tip top shape and prolong getting older.
Go easy on powder cosmetics and foundation to safeguard your skin as you become older. Hydration only gets more valuable as your skin ages, therefore the effects acquire more severe. Consider how simple cosmetics, for example lip gloss, mascara, and eye liner can squeeze into your lifestyle.
Follow a sensible diet. Like a diet that is reduced in fats and sugars and in fruits and vegetables. Balanced and healthy diet can assist you maintain both your physical and mental health, along with give you the proper fuel you have to get using your day.
You can even examine your hypertension on a regular basis. "The silent killer" means hypertension because a lot of people do not have symptoms to alert them to this dangerous condition. Age will cause your heart to slowly deteriorate, so it's vital that you monitor these changes as you get older. By doing this, we can address any problems that could be found.
Having balanced hormones is essential for anyone while they become older. Insomnia, depression and putting on weight are common signs and symptoms of a hormonal imbalance during getting older. These problems can make further medical problems and increase the negative effects of aging. Your physician will help you look for the best methods of balancing your hormones in order to increase your state of health from the coming years.
Get regular checkups which involve testing hypertension. Hypertension, or hypertension, is referred to as a silent killer since it doesn't always cause symptoms that happen to be noticeable. The conventional aging process includes the deterioration of various parts of the body, including your heart. This makes it essential to monitor your system, including blood pressure levels checks. You will get a simple time noticing a challenge if you are monitoring your blood pressure levels, and will be able to address it quickly.
Make sure you compile a long list of medications you currently take, and maintain it together with you. This is extremely crucial if you use different pharmacies to fill your prescriptions. This is certainly for your safety, because many medicines should never be taken together.
Hold on to all of your medical paperwork. Take your records along with you when you go to a medical facility or to a different doctor.
Get back to doing a classic hobby following a child moving out or retirement to positively age. As soon as you can focus your attention all by yourself happiness, you may discover that there are many satisfying activities that you weren't capable of enjoy throughout your family years. Hobbies are an easy way to fill your way of life with happiness and joy.
As we get older in life, for a few people living alone is not really possible anymore. In case you have concerns about living alone, speak to someone you know and trust. Staying with family is fantastic for some, but there are many residences for seniors which are nicer than you could expect. If you can to have alone but prefer company around your age, then there are communities that will help accomplish this too.
With some of the tips above, if you add these people to your everyday routine, you will end up better-equipped to handle the trials of aging. This is perfectly up to you. Start using these ways to plan for aging and anticipate to meet it directly.

She asked the unfortunate ones who confronted her: What creature goes on four legs in the morning, on two at midday and on three in the evening?

about 2600 years. Later Rudolf Steiner indicated these epochs more precisely. According to this the point at which the sun rises on the vernal equinox moves backwards through the 12 constellations of the Zodiac in 12 x 2160 = 25,920 years the Platonic World Year generally speaking, re-embodiments are connected with these epochs of 2160 years (though there are exceptions). See:
Theosophy of the Rosicrucian, Rhythms in the Cosmos and in the Human Being (Typescript) 188.8.131.52.1923
The Great Masters. According to Rudolf Steiner these are beings of great significance for the evolution of mankind. These lofty beings have already left behind them the path that the rest of mankind has yet to tread. They work now as the great Teachers of Wisdom and of the Harmony of Feeling. (Letter to a member 2.1.1905.) See also lecture 13.10.1904.
Trappists. Order founded in 1140 in the Cistercian monastery of La Trappe in France. The reform in 1665 imposed strict ascetic practices and silence.

Compare lecture 7.10.1917 The Crumbling of the Earth and the Souls and Bodies of Men Anthroposophical Quarterly Volume 19 No. 1.
The Twelve Senses. See The Wisdom of man of the Soul and of the Spirit. The Twelve Senses and the Seven Life Processes (Golden Blade 1975).
Descending ... and ascending curves. Theosophy teaches that all development proceeds in cycles, first on a descending curve from spiritual to material and then back on an ascending curve from material to spiritual. In a lecture to the same audience in
Berlin 17.10.1904
Rudolf Steiner says Theosophical writings have described certain evolutionary developments as ascending and descending ... during the descent development is slowed down while during the ascent it becomes ever faster. This accelerated development does not apply to the whole physical plane but only to individual beings. In a lecture in Berlin 27.1.1908 there is a further clarification: ... so that when we are at a particular moment of our development we can always say: Yes, there are certain forces there that draw into man and pass out of him, forces that descend and forces that rise. For every such force there is always a moment when it changes from a descending to an ascending force. All forces that become ascending forces have been at first descending. They descend down to man, so to speak, and in man they achieve the strength to rise.
In this sense when the body is on the ascending curve the senses are
on the descending curve should be understood as meaning that the
physical body in general is on the rising curve because it has passed
the deepest point of its material densification, while the senses are
on the descending curve since there are two senses which still have to
develop as physical senses.
As now when man speaks ... Influence. For further clarification of this passage see lecture 12.6.1907 Occult Seals and Pillars (typescript).
The Myth of Lohengrin. The Lohengrin figure first appears in Eschenbach's Parzifal as a knight of the Grail and son of Parzifal. The saga was further developed in a poem in middle high German dating from the end of the 13th century. A simpler form is Conrad von Würzburg's Schwanenritter. See also Rudolf Steiner's lecture 29.3.1906 on Parzifal and Lohengrin (Typescript).
Christian Rosenkreutz. See:
The Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz
lecture 1912-13.
The Kundalini Light in out streaming feeling of warmth see lecture 18.10.1904 in History of the Middle Ages (Typescript)
Undifferentiated mass like a jelly or a soft crystal. In Marie Steiner's notes: formed out of an undifferentiated gelatinous mass like a mineral protoplasm.
The fish has remained half-way. Fish have a heart with two compartments consisting of atrium and ventricle.
Dionysius the Areopagite. In the Acts of the Apostles Chapter 17 v.34 he is mentioned as a pupil of St. Paul. At the end of the 5th century there appeared in Syria under his name the following writings: The Celestial Hierarchies and On the Hierarchy of the Church which in the 9th century were translated from the Greek into Latin by Scotus Erigena.
These teachings however could not find general understanding. For detailed descriptions of the spiritual hierarchies see Rudolf Steiner:
The Spiritual Hierarchies and their Reflection in the Physical World, Zodiac, Planets, Cosmos,
The Spiritual Beings in the Heavenly Bodies and in the Kingdoms of Nature.
Novalis. See The Christian Mystery, Novalis the Seer lecture 22.12.1908 in the Anthroposophical Quarterly 1967.
The Dukhobors. Knights of the Spirit or Fighters for the Spirit. They also called themselves Christians of the Spirit and believed essentially in inner revelation. The sect arose in the middle of the 18th century and was later dispatched to Trans-Caucasia. Towards the end of the 19th century many of them emigrated to Cyprus and Canada. Tolstoi, who had a strong inner link with them, wrote about them in Followers of Christ in Russia in the year 1895.
The Manichaeans. Founded by Mani (215 or 216 276 A.D) originating in Asia Minor. A powerful spiritual stream to which belonged the Albigenses, Waldenses, and Cathars of the Middle Ages. More distantly connected were the Templars and, through a remarkable interweaving of connections, the Freemasons. This is where the Freemasons actually belong although they had allied themselves with the Rosicrucians. Thus run the notes of a lecture by Rudolf Steiner on the Manichacans given in
Berlin 11.11.1904.
See also Albert Steffen: Mani.
Subba Row. His teachings appeared published as Esoteric Writings.

Rudolf Steiner is also to be found in the lecture Evolution,

Zarathustra. This refers to the actual or first Zarathustra. In the public lecture on Zarathustra 19.1.1911 Turning Points in Spiritual History, Rudolf Steiner says: Greek historians have frequently pointed out that the period ascribed to Zarathustra must be placed very far back, between 5000 to 6000 years before the Trojan War.

As things in the East are spreading like a fire. Refers probably to the outbreak of the Russian revolution of 1905 following the end of the Russo-Japanese war of 1904/05. See lecture 12.10.1905 The Present Situation of the World. War, Peace and the Science of the Spirit (Anthroposophic News Sheet Volume 1 3, Nos. 35 40).
Nutrition. Later Rudolf Steiner spoke on this subject from many different angles especially to the workmen engaged on the Goetheanum building. See Rudolf Steiner on Nutrition and Health and Illness.
Physical healing powers ... for mental illnesses. These are the words according to Mathilde Scholl. Marie Steiner's notes, on the contrary, report that the old healers call up in themselves psychic means of healing mainly for psychic illnesses.
Cain and Abel. Rudolf Steiner interpreted this allegory in different ways especially in lectures in 1904 and 1905 in connection with the Temple Legend. Die Tempel legende und die Goldene Legende. The only ones translated are Concerning the Temple Lost and Found 15, 22, 29 May, 5 June 1905, (Typescript).

The various Zarathustras. Re the original Zarathustra see note 65. The historical Zarathustra lived in the 6th century BC and according to Alexander Polyhistor and Plutarch, was the teacher of Pythagoras. On the tradition in mystery schools of transmitting the name of the teacher with the teaching, compare Rudolf Steiner on Dionysius the Areopagite in lecture 13.

Tacitus found much in the Germanic peoples that was related ... His descriptions are to be found in Germany and its Tribes.
Irmin the Mighty, divine ancestor of the Germanic tribes.
Wodha-Bodha-Buddha. Rudolf Steiner has spoken in greater detail of this connection, for instance in
Universe, Earth and Man lecture 10.
Attila. Rudolf Steiner here refers to Attila's penetration into Italy in the year 452 when Aquileia was destroyed and the Roman bishop Leo I went out with his followers against Attila and was able to force him to retreat.
The well-known traveler Peters. Traveled especially in Africa where he founded the East African German colonies and the German East African Company. Wrote among other things Das Goldene Ophir Salomos (1895) and Im Goldland des Altertums (1902).

DESPERATELY SCREENING SUSAN Set for The PIT, 2/14
Following the international success of his solo comedy Desperately Seeking the Exit, writer and performer Peter Michael Marino presents his new multimedia companion piece Desperately Screening Susan at The People's Improv Theater (The PIT) on Friday, February 14th at 8:00 PM.
Desperately Screening Susan is a 60-minute show and tell which utilizes rare West End production footage, original film clips, music, images and a bit of backstage goss to tell the story of how he adapted the beloved Madonna movie Desperately Seeking Susan into a West End Blondie musical that closed after a month.
Marino made lemonade out of his lemon and turned the tale of his epic flop into the 5-star reviewed one-man comedy Desperately Seeking the Exit. For the past two years, Marino has performed the solo show on three continents, including a month-long run at London's Leicester Square Theatre. Now audiences can engage in the multi-media experience of Desperately Screening Susan in this one night only event.
In addition to writing and performing, Marino is the creator and co-producer of SOLOCOM, an all-solo festival that packed houses at The PIT this past November and gave birth to 60 world premiere solo comedies.

Why do the socs girls sit with the greasers in chapter 2 in the book the outsiders
1 Answer | Add Yours
In Chapter 2 of "The Outsiders", Dally, Ponyboy, and Johnny go to the drive-in. Dally sits behind the two girls because he is attracted to them. While he is sitting there, he makes some derogatory and offensive comments toward them. After Dally leaves, Ponyboy, along with Johnny, sits with them, almost as their protectors and promises that he would never speak to her the way that Dally did. It seems that these girls are always around boys who do not know how to treat a young woman – we can see this through their interactions with the Soc boys later in the chapter. The feel a sense of comfort and innocence in both Ponyboy and Johnny; therefore, they are comfortable around them and ask them to stay.

Just popping in for a quick Christmas chat - I've had such a good time this year, and I'm actually back at my parents' for a whole fortnight. Obviously, there's been lots of time with friends and family, including the annual Christmas Eve drinks tradition and my Dad enjoying his Christmas Day dessert... (sorry Dad!)
I don't want to seem like one of those LOOK WHAT I GOT present braggers, but I'm really grateful for my presents and want to share that a bit here. Highlights being a Nexus 7 (on which I've played a lot of Scribblenauts), Moomin pants, Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire perfume and, of course, the One Direction annual!!
Obviously, Christmas isn't Christmas without food, drink and games, and tonight we had the classic cheeseboard, pate and bits and pieces - followed by some games of Rummikub. Somehow I won three games in a row, despite never actually having played the game before! I'm a natural, clearly ;)
I hope you've all had wonderful Christmasses! I feel really lucky to have a lovely family and amazing friends to spend time with over the holidays, I know a lot of people don't have that and I feel really, really grateful to everyone I've spent time with recently <3
I have plenty of time at home, so expect full blogging to resume shortly!

North Bennington has new school trusteesBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | March 07,2013NORTH BENNINGTON — Officials at the Village School of North Bennington released a list this week of seven locals who have joined their board of trustees.
Jeb Gorham, Don McKenna, Jeanne McWaters, David Monks, Rachel Schumacher, Peter Niles and Meg Woolmington join local residents Brian McKenna and Eva Sutton on the board. Because the board oversees an independent school, its members are not elected. Biographies of the members of the board are expected to be posted to the website, vsnb.org, shortly.
The Village School of North Bennington, which will use the building and grounds of the North Bennington Graded School, is expected to open for the 2013-14 school year. The graded school, which is a public school, is scheduled to close at the end of the current school year so the independent school can open at the same site.
The School Board in the village, the North Bennington Prudential Committee, will continue to operate although they will now be considered a "non-operating district" because they don't operate a public school.
On Tuesday, voters approved the North Bennington school budget of $2,317,535. The budget had to be voted in two parts by state law because North Bennington spent more per pupil than the state average last year and the proposed budget is more than last year's budget adjusted for inflation.
The votes on the budget were 205-147 and 196-153.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER With just days to go before the Democratic primaries, and a sitting governor and...

Helpful Hints on Deciphering Legal Citations
Compiled by Shaun Esposito, Head of Public Services, with editorial assistance of Jacquelyn Kasper, Reference and Government Documents Librarian, January 2000
Most citations to cases and journal articles follow a standard format listing the volume number, then the abbreviated name of the publication, then the page number, and finally the date. For example the citation for an Arizona case, Kotterman v. Killian, might be 197 Ariz. 273, 972 P. 2d 606 (1999). This case would be found in Volume 197 of the Arizona Reports on page 273 OR in Volume 972 of the Pacific Reporter, Second Series on page 606. These two citations are known as parallel citations and the same language is found in both publications.
Citations to statutes are generally by Section number alone (as with Arizona statutes) or by title and section number (as with the U.S. Code). For example, ARS §13-3905 refers to Section 13-3905 of the Arizona Revised Statutes Annotated. The spine of each volume shows the section numbers included in that volume. For a federal statute, a number (the title number) appears before the publication abbreviation. 42 USC § 405 means that the statute appears in section 405 of title 42 of the United States Code.
Citations to legal encyclopedias are by volume, topical subject and section number. Topics are arranged alphabetically. For example, 5 CJS Courts § 230 indicates that the relevant material will be in section 230 of CJs volume 5 under the Courts topic. Each volume generally contains more than one topical subject. See the table below for the meaning of commonly used citations and their location in the library.

While director Francis Lawrence made his name in Hollywood directing big budget flag wavers like "Constantine" and "I Am Legend," the helmer is looking to broaden his horizons and get out of the VFX and explosions game. He's got the Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz led period romance "Water For Elephants" around the corner and earlier this year, he lined up the WWII tale based on Laura Hillenbrand's bestseller "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption" over at Universal. At the time it was said that "Crazy Heart" writer/director Scott Cooper might pen the adaptation, but instead an Oscar nominated writer/director has gotten the job.
Deadline reports that Richard LaGravenese ("Conviction," "The Fisher King") will adapt the amazing story of Louis Zamperini, a former Olympian who endured unbelievable hardship while a Japanese POW during WWII. He was subjected to medical experiments, slave labor, and brutal beatings and became the target of one sadistic guard in particular, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, whose goal it was to break Zamperini. The athlete endured his harsh punishment right though until the end of the year, but the lingering effects were still felt. He routinely had terrifying nightmares, suffered alcoholism and on the verge of losing everything, he found God and forgave his captors, even traveling to Japan to forgive them in person (though Watanabe refused to meet him).
Are you smelling something? That's right, it's Oscar bait, but that's certainly one helluva tale that could make for a great watch. But no word yet on when it will lens. As you might remember, Lawrence also has "Snow And The Seven" -- yes, another revisionist fairy tale -- brewing over at Disney with Michael Arndt penning the screenplay. We'll have to see which one beats the clock for Lawrence's attention first.

Snow and the Seven has to be the gayest fucking name I've heard of for a fairy tale reboot. Red Riding Hood, Pan, next there'll be Beauty/Beast, Mermaid, Cinder. Wow, you just can't beat Snow and the Seven, though.
I hate to sound like an old asshole, but holy shit, how do you guys not off yourselves, having to report on every piece of boring news on the snowballing reboot/sequel/comicbook series tip? Much respeck!
I like Francis Lawrence - I'm still holding out hope he can make more than a mediocre feature, one day.

Apparently they're having a "soft opening" right now. According to a friend, they haven't had their grand opening yet, but while they're stocking the store and getting up to full speed, they're allowing sales.
I visited last week and they had a huge selection of craft beer (especially for the city/region) with many bombers, and large selections of refrigerated and unrefrigerated beers. They even have a free bottle chilling machine in the store, so you can get even the room-temp bottles to drinking temp before leaving.
They give you a small discount if you choose to pay cash or debit, which is pretty neat. Also, some of their products have an additional discount if you use their little frequent-customer keychain bar-code scanner thing, which you can get for free by filling out a short application.
They also carry branded beer glasses, which is great... haven't really seen too much of that in this city. Finally got my hands on a Duvel tulip.
The employees are very nice, and the manager offered to special order some beers for me and didn't rush through it or act indifferent or aloof like they do at many of the other beer stores in the area when you call them up.
Overall, probably my new favorite place to get beer in the city. (though Side Door Liquors will still be a strong second, if not tied)

New powers to stop partner abuse killers
12:00pm Friday 7th March 2014 in Southend By Paul Nizinskyj
POLICE will use new powers to prevent the death of women from domestic violence.
Essex Police, which has faced criticism for the way it has handled cases in the past, will roll out the use of Domestic Violence Protection Notices and Domestic Violence Prevention Orders by the summer.
The orders give police powers to evict those carrying out the abuse and ban them from coming a certain distance of the victim.
The scheme has been piloted in three areas across the country and is now being rolled out across England and Wales.
Det Insp Nick Burston, of the force's public protection unit, said: "These protection notices will allow us to put in place protection for the victim in the immediate aftermath of a domestic violence incident.
"They can be used where the perpetrator is cautioned and bailed without conditions, but also where no further action is otherwise taken.
"If someone breaches a notice, they will be subject to immediate arrest and can then be remanded in custody to appear before a court for a full order to be considered.
"A breach of an order can lead to a maximum fine of £5,000 or a two-month prison sentence."
Last week, the Southend Community Safety Partnership revealed numerous failings by Essex Police in the run up to the death of 47-year-old Jeanette Goodwin at the hands of her expartner Martin Bunch, 44, of Quebec Avenue, Southend, on July 24, 2011.
Bunch was found guilty of murder at Chelmsford Crown Court in August 2012 and jailed for life.
Essex Police also faced criticism over the case of Christine Chambers, 38, and her daughter Shania, two, who were shot dead in Braintree in 2011 by Ms Chambers' former partner David Oakes, 50. He was jailed in 2012 for murdering the pair, but died in prison in February 2013.
The case was referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission after it emerged Ms Chambers had made complaints about attacks and intimidation.
The commission also found the force failed to properly recognise the risks when Maria Stubbings, 50, of Pitfield, Chelmsford, was assaulted by her partner Marc Chivers, in July 2008.
Five months later Chivers, who had spent 15 years in a German prison for killing another girlfriend, murdered the mother of two by strangling her.
Chivers had been given a fourmonth jail term for the July assault, but was released almost immediately having spent time on remand.
Within this time, police officers had removed a panic alarm from Ms Stubbings's home.

Not enough is done to protect women with the police telling them, until they harm someone, nothing can be done!
My heart goes out to the families of these lovely ladies who died so needlessly!

... and three women had to die to get them to do this? I bet the families of these ladies are over the moon! Not enough is done to protect women with the police telling them, until they harm someone, nothing can be done! My heart goes out to the families of these lovely ladies who died so needlessly!
Sadly, most of these women suffer from low self esteem, they think they are no good, some actually believe they don`t deserve any better.
The problem goes WAY beyond just being with a violent partner, and often has its roots in early childhood and the way they were treated then, and THAT is the real problem that needs to be addressed, the CAUSES, NOT the SYMPTOMS.

What an embarrassment to this country! DC has made a huge mistake and just reading this I am cringing at what the rest of the world must be thinking. This is the most damaging thing any politician could ever do to our country.
The EU is a federal jurisdiction! Stop whining about sovereignty! Sovereignty gets us nowhere! It is only a feel good buzzword to raise patriotism. It is bad for almost everything else.
Why do you think the rest of the world is integrating through free-trade agreements? How do people think the USA became successful? It is not by splitting up and differing from one another! The states of the EU should be willing to GIVE UP their sovereignty entirely and abolish all borders. How else do you expect us to compete on a global scale? Do you expect London (which is the only profitable part) to compete against every other country on this planet?? This is OUTRAGEOUS.
I am hoping I wake up from this terrible nightmare and it will all have been a cruel joke of the mind. However I wont chance my bets, I think I can learn French in five years, before the idiots waving pitchforks (as seen on BBC Question Time, which selects probably the dumbest of the dumb of the UK population to appear in the audience) send this country to hell.
The objections I would have as a negotiating partner to Britain's demands for renegotiation of its membership terms are twofold:
1 We can't accept being blackmailed like this.
2 Where would it end? Our experience with Britain as a member so far is that there is a never-ending stream of demands for opt-outs coming from the British government failing which Britain would hold up agreements that the other members had already concluded and some cases the British themselves too! Who can guarantee us that a renegotiation would end is this endless litany? Given the attitude of the europhobes in the Conservative Party, we should, in fact, expect the opposite: more demands.
I'd advocate calling Cameron's bluff. In the end the EU will be better off without British intransigence.
"The EU is a federal jurisdiction! Stop whining about sovereignty! Sovereignty gets us nowhere! It is only a feel good buzzword to raise patriotism. It is bad for almost everything else."
I beg to differ. Sovereignty is about democracy. A nation state protects democracy based on a demos. There is a democratic deficit at the EU/EC level and no European demos. The only other country that has been created in this bureaucratic fashion is the USSR.
The USA is incomparable as it only became a unified country (based on a single demos) after their brutal civil war.
Also we aren't the only sceptics of the Brussels project. The Dutch are similarly clamouring for a referendum. The EU may fall apart before we ever get to vote in a referendum.
I could tell you were not British before you said anything because you made an intelligent comment about what the EU means to the UK!
Excellent post, A J Maher.
The long term view that it's inevitable that the EU will have to restructure with those outside the Euro. Denmark, Sweden an Poland will not be in the federation for a start. A Union to manage the single market and a Federation of Euro-denominated nations. Two-tier isn't a bad thing. A restructuring of the Union would draw in other spheres of interest, from Norway an Switzerland to Turkey an Russia. Cameron has played a blinder, his gone long term, France once lead now Germany, yet Germany is wrong side of the demographic, there going to have to give other nations a voice whether they like it or not.
I find it goaling the way those who have adapted the Euro expect those who havent to following into European Federalism. This isn't about British exceptionalism, do europeans really care if Britain wants to extradite an Islamic hate preacher, or are perplexed when an axe murderer laughs on public television about how he had been given tens of thousands in compensation for not been given the right to vote, all at the behest of the European Court of Human Rights? What's the issue with handing back social an employment law that's so shocking?
Well Mr. Cameron has certainly angered those invested in the European idea.
Much is made of his particular demands for Britain as though such selfishness is unheard of in the EU. Really? Has Charlemagne failed to notice how the eurozone's disastrous economic policy has been written entirely in Berlin? Has Charlemagne failed to notice that agricultural protectionism is a policy that keeps Europe out of global and bilateral free trade deals just in order to pander to the antique political patronage enjoyed by French smallholders? These are policies that are not only wholly destructive of European welfare but which are directly imposed on weaker EU members by stronger. By contrast Mr. Cameron's modest and unremarkable ambition is not to impose British policy preferences on anyone else in Europe but instead to re-establish the unfettered right of the British Parliament to pursue them in the United Kingdom. How unreasonable is that?
If Europe can have an accelerator for those who wish to integrate further then it must also have a reverse gear for those who wish to integrate less. This way we don't block each other's aspirations and the EU becomes a shifting dynamic of tighter and looser constellations. Only by such trial, error and correction are the proper distribution of powers and accountabilities between nation and centre ever going to be arrived at.
But of course the real objections to Mr. Cameron's demarche is that he has put public opinion at the centre of the discussion. Whether the re-negotiations are a credible basis for continued British participation, whether the EU is itself a legitimate and competent policy making body is not going to be decided by colleagues in a closed council chamber in Brussels - but out in the noisy public square.
That is the unforgivable heresy.
After all an elected Greek Prime minister was summarily sacked and replaced by a central bank functionary because he dared to suggest the Greek people should have the final say on whether Greece should accept or reject the counter productive economic torture imposed on them by the EU/ ECB/IMF. An Italian prime minister was sacked and replaced by an EU functionary because he refused to accept the detailed diktat and a remarkably destructive & perverse policy prescription issued by the ECB.
Charlemagne should pay more attention to these seismic developments and question whether this rolling political and economic disenfranchisement of Europe's citizenry is really an acceptable price to save the euro and extend the powers of the EU centre. It is certainly a very degenerate form of free trade advocacy to suggest that market standardisation and efficiency can only be achieved at the cost of self determination and government by consent.
He also needs to question his glib assumption (repeated here) that such standardisation is an overriding good. There is certainly a standardisation of eurozone monetary and fiscal policy. There are also 26 million unemployed and discouraged citizens in the single currency area. Debt deflation, reductions in output, reductions in living standards and no gains whatsoever in debt reduction. This is a catastrophic failure that could never have survived the usual democratic process (by which failed policy is routinely flushed away at election time) and it only maintains its vice like grip on current and future European welfare precisely because it is the policy of the anointed and the appointed – a group wholly governed by an economically subliterate groupthink.
These are serious times for Europe and blathering on as though the biggest threat confronting Europe is Mr. Cameron's old fashioned deference to British public opinion is an exercise in triviality that reduces this magazine to tabloid levels of silliness……
You cannot physically move a country and in the age of globalisation this means you cannot easily extricate yourself politically and economically from your neighbors. I understand complaints against "planet Brussels" however that said, 50% of UK exports go to the EU. It remains the largest trading economic bloc in the world and will only continue to increase as more countries join the Euro and EU (although admittedly Croatia may be the last addition for a while).
I am not British and am thus not qualified to put a premium on not "being European" or "in Europe" but it seems like a huge gamble to hope that you can get fantastic concessions from the single market but not follow the same rules. Whatever is decided Cameron and his party (as well as Milliband and the others) owe it to the citizens of the UK to explain the serious consequences of the choice they will make sometime after 2015.
I don't like the way Cameron brought the issue up but I think there is room for compromise. As a European citizen I admire what the European Union is trying to achieve. As a US resident for the last 23yrs I am amazed by the Brussels "power grab" over nation states on some issues. On some issues the states in the US have more control than nation states in the EU do.
I think the priority needs to be the common market. If you create prosperity then social unity will follow. Let's not forget, the EU is not a dictatorship and in order for the European project to work you need "buy-in" from the citizens of the individual European nation states.
A major problem for democracy as currently instituted is that "leaders" are constantly searching for quick-fix sound-bite policies when confronted by profound and difficult problems. No surprise, then, that the results are generally disastrous. Cameron is simply a manifestation of a general failure of current democratic arrangements. When the electorate is neither informed nor thoughtful, how can we expect anything more than Policy McNuggets from politicians?
It is the crisis in the South that has driven the electorate to be more sceptical than before. Mr Cameron referred to the streets of Athens and Madrid. Any open-minded person can see that for these countries to cut government spending without offsetting monetary easing and devaluation is a recipe for disaster - that is why prior to EZ crisis IMF has never or almost never prescribed packages without all three.
Irving Fisher wrote in 1933 of the 'debt-deflation trap' whereby contracting the economy made the debt:GDP ratio worse and this has now happened in the peripheral economies. In the three months July-Sept there was deterioration in this metric as follows:-
Greece 3.4 %
Portugal 3 %
There is good reason to believe that the recessions will go on until the southern governments think 'outside the box' and realise that they have to readopt a national currency.
I think it useful in conveying what is happening to refer to a Twitter post that Greek heating oil consumption has fallen by SEVENTY-EIGHT % yoy. The tree that Plato was supposed to have sat under has been cut down for firewood!
The financial markets have been lulled but commentators like Professor Buiter (CitiBank) have pointed out that the problems are unresolved.
It was thought that EU would definitely bring PROSPERITY but the Mediterranean countries face immiseration. It is very sad that all 4 governments see the Euro through an 'ideological spectrum' (Mr Stelzer's concept though on a different issue). EU = civilisation (3 of them have had dictatorships) and EU = EURO.
The thing is, there are valid criticisms to be made of the pace with which the Union makes it decisions - and in many instances, the quality of the decisions ultimately made. That should not be confused with euroscepticism in general. However, Mr Cameron makes it more difficult to maintain this distinction because he does not appear to be capable of making it himself - either for political reasons or because he genuinely doesn't get it. And the fact is, he is being allowed to get away with it, by the EU but also by the members of his own party, who have decided that they have a greater need to win elections by siphoning off votes from the UKIP and BNP than they do actually defending the best interests of their country.
"You cannot physically move a country and in the age of globalisation this means you cannot easily extricate yourself politically and economically from your neighbors".
"In the age of globalisation", geographical proximity to those with whom you trade is without importance.
"50% of UK exports go to the EU".
The figure is now 45%, the lowest since 1988, and continues to fall.
"(the EU) remains the largest trading economic bloc in the world"
Yes, I should hope so, with a popultion of 500 million. However its share of world trade is declining fast.
And BTW I wouldn't count on too many countries joining the euro any time soon.
'The French president, François Hollande, told his cabinet that he wished "the UK to remain at the heart of the European Union."'
Alas, the British anatomical location vis-a-vis the EU seems to be more in the neighborhood of the spleen these days.
If Britain cant be a constructive partner in Europe like Holland and Denmark, we should leave anyway. I dont think it comes down to economics, whether Britain is in or out will not end in disaster for either the EU or Britain, but surely there is a much bigger vision and ambition here and that is to be the single most important liberal political entity on the world stage - again, if Britain cant grasp the potential of the EU beyond the creation of wealth, we should leave. (and by liberal I dont mean it as the Americans or French tend to do so..)
In the event of joining the United States, England would not be able to keep its monarch, pursuant to Article I, Section 9, paragraph 8 of the US constiution. Sorry.
Also, Puerto Rico is likely to be the 51st State if y'all don't hurry.
Mr. Cameron wants Britain to be more like Texas?
I think you might have missed 1 out on the dictatorship count of 3, for the Mediterranian countries. I'm not sure we shouldn't include the lower half of France for a bit, but as I have to drive through it to dear old blighty perhaps I should bottle out and leave the Vichy unbroached.
However on the wider EU scene there are few more, depending how you see the Anschluss. He was, after all, only the local lad coming home. So we could include: Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and if you will a bit of France.
This is not to imply that the tendency to hand over to the strong man is on its way back, in the above countries. Rather the opposite. They are so desperate not to repeat these mistakes that they would rather emasculate their polities in the name of Europe and hand over to nobody really knows whom. We, on the other hand, having had the rule of law and varying degrees of democratic control, some say from magna carta onwards, don't have the same appetites. Hence the current fracas.
"Mr. Cameron's modest and unremarkable ambition is not to impose British policy preferences on anyone else in Europe but instead to re-establish the unfettered right of the British Parliament to pursue them in the United Kingdom."
Sure, you are free to establish a British single market. You have a right to do so. But since David Cameron is responsible to British (and not European) electorate, he has no right to demand single market across Europe.
"These are policies that are not only wholly destructive of European welfare but which are directly imposed on weaker EU members by stronger."
I am sure you can find a French farmer arguing that single market is a descructive policy imposed on France by stronger states (UK and Germany).
"disenfranchisement of Europe's citizenry"
Oh my God! Do you mean European citizens? Oh my God, you have just expressed solidarity with other Europeans!!! European identity! If you want to retain your British identity, you should seek some exorcist who will kill that European devil in you.
"needs to question his glib assumption (repeated here) that such standardisation is an overriding good."
Sure, I agree. But keep in mind that the single market is also based on standardisation. What happens if someone (the French) start to question this kind of standardisation? What if the French start to demand their "sovereign right to subsidize our industry"?? I agree with The Economist.
"This is a catastrophic failure that could never have survived the usual democratic process"
Do you suggest democratic process on the EU level?? Your prime minister has just ruled out that posibility, arguing that there is not European demos.
"the policy of the anointed and the appointed"
Sure. If you do not have a European democratic process to decide the shape of the European policy, then the policy is decided by the anointed and the appointed.
Nowhere else in the world do 5000 civil servants spend their time in creating 'harmonisation'; Mr Cameron - 'you are either quick or dead'.
Don't you think that what the southern countries are doing to their economies would repel any observer?
OK, so if the EU is not important to you, you can go ahead and create a single market with China.

SAN ALFONSO DEL MAR, CHILI (WFLX) - New pictures have appeared of the world's largest swimming pool, and they are pretty incredible.

It is larger than 20-Olympic size pools and holds a whopping 66-million gallons of water.
The pool also holds a Guinness World Record for being the world's deepest pool at 115 feet.

There was a time when most of the general public held a high regard for doctors, clergy, lawyers, and most all professionals. Back then a client wouldn't even think about disputing a lawyer's fee, although most were simple, flat fees. This was also a time when most clients took pride in paying their just debts. If the means to pay was an issue, debts would often be paid by bartering in some fashion. Not all clients today maintain that same pride in paying their way.
Today, clients are not shy about making it known if they feel they've been unfairly charged by their lawyer. They're not likely to simply pay the bill especially when they perceive little value for the service. And, clients are not as intimidated by collection efforts even if it means facing a lawsuit especially if they believe they are right. Clients have armed themselves with information about their options, which may include a disciplinary complaint or malpractice action. The fact is: unresolved fee disputes contribute to the gloomy image of the legal profession, and the lawyer's reputation. Consequently,it's an important reason why lawyers' should care.
"Betrayed", "let down", "taken advantage of", "cheated, just out for money" - these are harsh words often used by both sides - clients about lawyers and lawyers about clients when a fee disputes arises. So, how does a lawyer-client relationship deteriorate to this extent?
Some common reasons that may cause clients to dispute their lawyer's fee:
The wrong answer is to ignore the issue even if the client has paid in advance. Suing clients for unpaid balances could also be the wrong answer, depending upon the circumstances. (Risk managers advise against suing for fees because they often trigger malpractice claims or disciplinary complaints.)
In the Bar's economic survey, the majority of lawyers responded that they handle fee disputes by negotiating with the client, which often results in an adjustment of the fee. That might be one of the right answers in some situations. Slow payment or the lack of payment by a client could also signal a client's concern about the fee. When a client disputes a fee or is slow to pay, it's certainly a time to review the file thoroughly and to do some self-examination. You may conclude that you poured your heart and soul into the matter, and the fee is justified. You might conclude that the client may have at least some justification for a fee adjustment. Or, you might conclude that you're on firm ground, but you would welcome a neutral view without consuming a lot of time or expense.
You might consider referring your client to the Bar's fee dispute resolution program as an alternative to suing your client and risking a disciplinary complaint or malpractice action. Fee dispute resolution programs are offered by The Missouri, and the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association at no cost to either party. The Missouri Bar's program offers mediation and binding arbitration, while the KCMBA program offers non-binding arbitration heard by a hearing panel. For more information, contact Lucas Boling, the program administrator at The Missouri Bar, at (573) 638-2276 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The next time you hear a cruel lawyer joke or you're teased about being a lawyer at a cocktail party you might consider what you as an individual can do. One by one you can help chip away at the dismal image of the legal profession by providing the best service possible to your clients, billing fairly, and resolving fee disputes when they occur. When it comes to fee disputes, both lawyers and clients do have options. And, lawyers should care.

EL CAJON (CNS) - A 69-year-old man sustained life-threatening injuries as he walked into an El Cajon roadway from behind a parked vehicle and was struck by a pickup truck, police said.
The man walked out into the 1400 block of Sunnyland Ave., near Jamacha Road, shortly after 8 p.m. Friday and was struck by the oncoming Toyota pickup, according to El Cajon police Lt. Frank La Haye. He was taken to a hospital.
The Toyota's driver stopped immediately after the crash and was cooperating with traffic investigators, La Haye said. Neither speed nor alcohol appeared to have been factors in the crash, he said.
El Cajon police said pedestrians walking near roadways should wear bright colors, especially at night, use designated crosswalks whenever possible and look both ways when crossing the street.
Police asked anyone with additional information on the crash to call the traffic division at (619) 441-1632.

Almost all the speakers at a Wednesday hearing about new state Department of Motor Vehicles driver authorization cards said they supported the idea.
Only Bruce Cram in Carson City called the Nevada program undeserved for people who aren't legal U.S. residents.
About 24 people spoke in Carson City, Las Vegas and Elko during a final public hearing on rules for obtaining the cards after Jan. 1.
A state Legislature panel is expected to finalize the DMV regulations Oct. 22.
The program will make Nevada one of several states letting people obtain DMV-issued driving cards.
The law was approved this year by state lawmakers and signed by Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval.
Backers said it'll make Nevada roads safer because it'll let motorists take a driving test and get auto insurance.

(08/22/12) - He's a true legend of the bricks. Riley McLincha is ready to "drubble" his way through the Crim 10 mile for the 19th year.
McLincha warmed up for his Crim performance in grand fashion last week. He ran a mile while dribbling three basketballs - in just 8 minutes and 44 seconds. That time set a new world record. It's actually his second time making history.
"Back in 1978, I held for a short time the world record for memorizing pie to 7,500 places. I'm multi-talented," he said.
McLincha has something new in the works for this year's Crim. He'll be at the Expo Thursday and Friday, drumming up support for his 10 mile drubbling run, which will raise money for the Special Olympics.
"Drop into the Special Olympics booth. Make a donation, put their name on the ball, and I'll dribble the basketballs all over the city of Flint with the names on it," McLincha said.
Before he gained fame as The Drubbler, McLincha took the "easy way out" and just ran the 10 Mile. On Saturday, he'll become one of only 21 people to have participated in all 36 Crims. It's an exclusive fraternity.
"We all know each other. We've gotten pretty close and made a lot of friendships over the years. We were all strangers back in 1977," McLincha said.
And how long can he keep his drubbling?
"Next year will be 20. I hope I'm around for 20. I'll be 62. Somewhere down the line, it has to end. We need to find someone to take over for me, I think," McLincha said.

The Huntsville School Board will meet
Wednesday to discuss the future of a new Grissom High School.
School leaders want to build a bigger
building for the school with the district's biggest student body.
Two sites are being closely considered the
current campus or a site on Weatherly Road.
Questions have been raised about the
Weatherly Road site because of the possible impact on an archaeological site occupied
by Native Americans.
Wednesday night, the school board will select
an architect firm to design the new school. The board will hold its meeting at
5:30 at the Annie Merts Center.
