CATEGORIES Fandom, Home Entertainment, Trailers and Clips, Features, Trailers and Clips, CinematicalThere are few celebs that even come close to my love for Kevin Kline. I've followed him for years, growing up on his swashbuckler, seeing him on the stage and in the theater crowd, and following his cinematic features that placed him face to face with his mortality, London robbery, Charlie Chaplin, ice storms, Shakespeare, and one hell of an anniversary party ... just to name a few. These days, it's a little harder to find a great feature, but at least this week, the Kevin Kline news world is perking up.
First, Universal confirmed to Moises Chiullan over at Hollywood Elsewhere that the cinematic version of Kline's Pirates of Penzance is going to hit DVD shelves on September 14 with a 2.0 stereo audio (as recorded) and anamorphic widescreen transfer. (The Joseph Papp play that the film is based on is already available on disc.) The Johnny Depp swagger is great and all, but this is the real Pirate King. (Though, as much as I prefer Kline, imagine if he jumped on-board the new Pirates film?! I'd love to watch the two battle for pirate supremacy, wouldn't you?)
After the jump, the wonder of an Extra Man.
Second, remember that poster for the new Kevin Kline film The Extra Man that we shared last week? Well, the film's trailer has hit the net, over at Apple, and it's so well worth your time. It seems like a lifetime ago that Kline was allowed to go delightfully mad and command the stage. This role was just made for him -- strange, theatrical, and very endearing even as a lecherous, misogynist. And if you loved him dancing in In & Out, just wait 'til you get to the scene that has him in blue, elastic-waist sweatpants. This must-see hits theaters on July 30th.
In the meantime, what's your favorite Kline role?

Longtime Air Charter Service Sues City
May 28--Rocky Mountain FBO, a longtime private air charter service, has filed a lawsuit in Pueblo District Court to force the city of Pueblo to let it take over the 20-year lease previously held by Flower Aviation at Pueblo Memorial Airport.
The dispute centers on Flower Aviation and its financial problems earlier this year. According to the suit filed on May 20, Flower had fallen behind in lease payments to the city for its building and airport rights.
The city ultimately terminated the lease in May, indicating it would put out a notice for bids on the
former Flower building and operations.
The suit claims that Flower had the authority to assign the lease to other parties and chose Rocky Mountain FBO before the lease was terminated.
Rocky Mountain attempted to pay $70,000 to the city to take over the lease, but City Manager Sam Azad and Aviation Director Mark Lovin indicated the bid process was going ahead.
The lawsuit is an attempt to block that bid process and make the city accept Rocky Mountain as the lease holder.
The suit says the city failed to follow the formal process for terminating the lease that was described in the original 2005 agreement.

My large work group arrived right before sunset. The views here are amazing. The sun was setting and reflecting off of the harbor right out front of our window seats. Since we were such a large group they gave us the entire harbor room. Food was good, but not great. Service was actually pretty good for the size of our table, but a bit slow. The beer list is lengthy and extensive, but there isn't anything rare or special. I tried some of the house beers that are brewed by Firestone Walker. They also were adequate, but nothing special. Go for the atmosphere and views.

The location of this place is unbeatable - looking right over the harbor to the lighthouse and to downtown Long Beach. A great place to have a brew or 3 and watch the sunset. I did just that, having their House Amber Tripel, Golden Monkey, and a Shipyard XXXX. A lot of their offerings I had seen before but there were some pleasant surprises on the menu. I'm not sure how often they rotate. The place seems popular with the craft beer crowd and non-beer drinkers alike, as there were a lot of people having wine or mixed drinks out there. The server was knowledgeable and offered me some notes on a few beers. The food was pretty good, but admittedly I didn't have all that much - onion rings and the clam chowder, but from what I saw from other people's plates, I might come back here to eat sometime. Overall a place that I'd revisit if I was in town again. Not really a destination, but a solid place overall. My only complaint - they don't put any head on the pours. Not that big a deal, but would have been nice.

|Man arrested after Task Force search
|Thursday, December 19, 2013 9:32 PM
Information submitted
LIMA — On Monday, the West Central Ohio Crime Task Force, along with the assistance of the Lima Police Department SWAT Team, executed a search warrant at 760 S. Metcalf St., Lima.
This warrant was obtained after a short-term investigation by the West Central Ohio Crime Task Force into the illegal sale of crack/cocaine.
The search resulted in finding marijuana, drug paraphernalia and an undisclosed amount of cash.
Verlando Lamingo Clark, Lima, was also taken into custody and is being held at the Allen County Jail pending formal charges of drug trafficking. Additional charges may be considered by the Allen County Grand Jury.

Predictions in the National Football League can be kind, alright, or downright nasty. It's a tricky thing, but heck you might as well just in case you go picture perfect, then you can brag to your friends. That's what I'm attempting here folks, here's how it lays down.
AFC East Winner: New York Jets (12-4)
As much as I do hate the Jets, I love Rex Ryan and I think he's got this team where they need to be. Mark Sanchez is goingto have to step it up, and I think under a consistent offense and behind a blistering defense he will do so. The key is whether or not the media attention will get to the Jets' head. It hasn't the two past seasons, but if something blows up the team may as well.
AFC South Winner: Indiannapolis Colts (12-4)
If I've learned anything in life, it's to never doubt Peyton and Colts. Although I do believe Manning will sit out the season opener, he'll play 15 games and he will play them to perfection. Deep threats in Reggie Wayne and Blair White will mobilize the pass game, and Austin Collie is one of the smartest receivers in the league. And Indy finally has some options on the run, including Delone Carter. If their defense can keep it up, this will be a Super Bowl-contending team looking to play in the big game on their home turf.
AFC West Winner: San Diego Chargers (9-7)
This is a tough division to predict, but I think Phillip Rivers is going to have a break-out year and now that Vincent Jackson is healthy and Maurice Floyd under pen and paper, Rivers should excel. What the Chargers need to fix is their mental mistakes, which cost them the decision last season. But coupled with the fact that Chiefs' schedule is harder than the one they had last season, and the fact that neither Oakland nor Denver will contend for the playoffs, it's Diego's to lose.
AFC North Winner: Baltimore Ravens (12-4)
YAY!! No, this isn't a homer pick (questionable), but I think it's time for Harbaugh to rally his troops and grab the division this go around. Joe Flacco now can throw that ball down with Lee Evans and is becoming comfortable with his No.1 option Anquan Boldin. With a tantalizing defense and a great 1-2 punch on the run, put that together with a huge addition of Vonta Leach, this team is ready to take that next step. The only thing I'm worried about is if Flacco does go down (please no, do not let this happen), I'm not sure Taylor can step in to the big-time, and we don't even know if Taylor will be ready for the season. But either way, go team!
AFC Wild-Cards: New England Patriots (11-5), Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6)
These are the obvious picks. New England is going to lose the division by a thread, but are still going to be one heck of a football team. A solid defense and some game-changing wide receivers to throw there, especially since I think Chad Ochocinco is going to excel in Foxboro, they're gonna challenge. Pittsburgh, I hate 'em, but they're good. Scary good. Baltimore needs to get this specific hump, and this is the year I think they do it. I'm not sure Pitts' offensive line can keep up, but they'll gladly take the No. 6 spot.
NFC East Winner: Philadelphia Eagles (13-3)
There's no question it's Super Bowl or bust for the Iggles. I think they will be the best team in the NFL during the regular season, bar none. A lethal secondary and a solid pass rush is the formula to a great defense, and Mike Vick's mobility in the pocket is going to make this team hard to catch. But the question is whether that same Vick can stay healthy. If he can, this team is going to be great to watch.
NFC North Winner: Green Bay Packers (11-5)
They've got all the tools from their Super Bowl-winning season, and all the tools to repeat. Aaron Rodgers is a lethal QB, with lethal options to throw to. Ryan Grant (if healthy) and James Starks should make a formidable 1-2 punch on the run, and their defense against the pass is top-notch. I don't think they'll face a challenge at all this season in their division, although Detroit will offer one in the coming years.
NFC South Winner: Atlanta Falcons (12-4)
This a tough division, with the 09 Super Bowl winners Saints in it and an up-start team in the Bucaneers. However, I like the changes Atlanta made on their defense, and with Matty Ice in my eyes establishing himself as an elite QB in this league, this is a team that will seriously contend. Throw in Julio Jones, who's going to get fans off their seats and couches, we're gonna watch a possible winner here.
NFC West Winner: Arizona Cardinals (8-8)
Meh. That's all I need to say here. Seriously, I could see any team here win the division, but if it is with a record of more than 8-8, I'll be shocked. I kind of chose the Cards out a hat, just because I think Kevin Kolb has something to prove, especially throwing to one of the best WR's in the league in Larry Fitzgerald. And also because I like Ken Whisenhunt as a coach. I would like to see Sam Bradford and the Rams win this division, but their brutal start to the schedule will prevent that.
NFC Wild-Cards: Dallas Cowboys (11-5), New Orleans Saints (10-6)
Yeah, I think the 'Boys will have a bounce-back season. Tony Romo is starting to become a natural leader of that team, and the players seem to genuinely like Jason Garrett as their HC. They have a good defense and will be challenging to play against during the playoffs. The Saints will have a good season, unfortunately will be in a tough division but once again like the Steelers will have no problem to be the No.6 seed, unless it's against the Seahawks.
AFC Playoffs:
(3) Baltimore Ravens def. (6) Pittsburgh Steelers
(5) New England Patriots def. (4) San Diego Chargers
(1) New York Jets def. (5) New England Patriots
(3) Baltimore Ravens def. (2) Indiannapolis Colts
(1) New York Jets def. (3) Baltimore Ravens
NFC Playoffs:
(3) Green Bay Packers def. (6) New Orleans Saints
(5) Dallas Cowboys def. (4) Arizona Cardinals
(5) Dallas Cowboys def. (1) Philadelphia Eagles
(2) Atlanta Falcons def. (3) Green Bay Packers
(2) Atlanta Falcons def. (5) Dallas Cowboys
Super Bowl:
(2 NFC) Atlanta Falcons def. (1 AFC) New York Jets
So here's how my playoffs work out. I think the two teams that will dominate throughout the post-season are Rex's Jets and the Falcons, who play in a Super Bowl gutted out by the Falcons on a last-minute field goal. There's some surprises sprinkled throughout, including Baltimore finally getting past the two teams they can never beat in the playoffs, the Steelers and the Colts. I have Dallas upsetting Philly in the Divisional Playoffs, a gut feeling and the fact that I like Jason Garrett as a coach and the chemistry on the team. I don't get what the buzz on the Chargers is, it's a team that will make the playoffs, but as easily could not like last year. They're not going to contend for a Super Bowl, despite Phil Rivers' MVP season. In the end, the Falcons are deep on both sides of the ball. Matt Ryan is designed for the playoffs, and just like Aaron Rodgers last season, he will lead his team all the way.
There they are! Agree or disagree with 'em, hope you enjoyed 'em!

Bartlesville Public Schools $36 million election to restructure high school, renovate middle school
BARTLESVILLE -- Bartlesville school officials have set a Sept. 10 bond election. The district is asking voters to approve a $36.72 million bond issue, which will go to renovating Central Middle School and restructuring Bartlesville High School and Mid-High.
According to Chris Tanea, Community Relations Coordinator for Bartlesville Public Schools, the bond primarily focuses on the district's middle schools.
Should the bond issue be approved, Central Middle School, a 100-year-old facility, would undergo a large-scale renovation.
"It's going to essentially be getting a facelift on the inside, and we will be preserving the outside so it continues to have the history and appeal that people have always enjoyed," Tanea said.
Madison Middle School will be demolished and those students would be transferred to the Mid-High, allowing the high school to be restructured for students in ninth through 12th grade and making way for a new Freshman Academy.
"This improvement would increase academics available to all our high school students and afford them access to some of our best resources."
About $1.5 million will go to security features, including increased video surveillance, Lobby Guard kiosks and establishing a secure entrance for those campuses that do not direct visitors immediately to the school office.
About a year ago, Bartlesville Public Schools attempted to secure funds for the same project. A February bond election failed. In August 2012, Bartlesville voters approved a bond issue for technology updates. A June 27 decision by the BPS Board of Education approved the district to once again take the measure to the voters.
"We've done a lot at our high school and our elementary schools, but we haven't done much to our middle schools. Those buildings are aging and we want to bring them to the standards that our students need."
Tanea also said going from four secondary building to three would reduce costs around the district.
This $36.72 million bond issue, if approved by voters, would be tax-neutral, Tanea said. Bond issues need at least 60 percent approval to pass.
The bond election is set for Tuesday Sept. 10.

SHERMAN, TX -- A man who served time on a murder conviction out of Grayson County has again been arrested for murder.
Police say Gregory Powell, 57, of Memphis, knocked out his girlfriend on Friday, and then doused her with gasoline and set her on fire, station WMC-TV reported.
Powell was released two years ago after serving more than 22 years in the murder of Louis Taylor and attempted murder of Mary Powell in Grayson County back in 1988.
His parole ended on September 24. According to WMC-TV, Powell is being held without bond and his next court date is next Monday.

Seth Allen tweeted a few days ago that he and the MD freshmen were going to take over the Kenner League. After a little bit of research, I've gathered that the Kenner League is a DC summer basketball league that often features recruits from local colleges as well as some interesting randoms. The league is officially named the Nike Pro-City League, but everyone still refers to it as the Kenner League.
Anyone have any more info on this? I'd like to know which teams MD players are on as well as any tips for going to the games.
Here's a link to the league schedule (which I've heard is somewhat unreliable):
And here's a link to a story about US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan playing in a recent Kenner League game:
Update: I went to watch the Kenner League games last Friday. Here are a few thoughts:
-The schedule I linked to above is indeed unreliable. I was expecting to see Emery Heights Elite, the team that's supposed to have some Terps players on it, in the first game, but there were two other teams playing instead.
-Berend Weijs and Logan Aronholt were playing for On Point on Friday. Weijs actually looked pretty decent on defense with some nice blocks. Aronholt made a couple of nice passes, but only shot a couple of threes, which he missed.
-The place was pretty dead for the first game, but filled up for the game featuring The Tombs. The Tombs features a bunch of Georgetown players, including Otto Porter, so their always the big draw in the Kenner League. Speaking of Porter, that guy looked like the real deal on Friday night.

Israel releases terrorists in anticipation of talks with Palestinians.
At this point I can't say I really understand any part of it. These periodic releases—and periodic talks—keep happening, and there's no reason to expect that anything good will come of it, and plenty of reason to expect bad. I am puzzled as to what such talks would gain for Israelis:
Netanyahu said somewhat elliptically that being involved in a diplomatic process will make it much easier for Israel to act – and stop actions – in the area.
Israel, he said, had three interests in re-engaging now with the Palestinians: To try to find a solution to the conflict; to prevent negative trends against Israel in the international arena from gaining steam; and to allow Israel to better prepare to deal with the "challenges and opportunities" in the region.
Everything clear now?
This justificaton is particularly laughable, in a bitter-laugh sort of way: "to prevent negative trends against Israel in the international arena from gaining steam." These "trends" have gained so much steam in the last forty years or so despite Israel's cooperation in a gazillion negotiations and prisoner releases that they are capable of driving a dynamo that could power the entire country.
As for "finding a solution to the conflict" through talking—does anyone realistically think that has any chance of happening? The Palestinians have given no indication of wanting to find solutions except 100% on their terms. They are winning the propaganda war, they get aid and comfort from all over the world, and if they ever "solved" the conflict they'd have to face the extreme economic and political dysfunction of their own country (I assume it would have become a country at that point). Why would they want to ever do that?
Maybe the key to this move is something in internal Israeli politics? I'm not conversant enough with that arena to say. Perhaps some readers can shed a bid of light.
And by the way, in the past whenever I've written about Israel, the posts have almost immediately drawn trolls. We'll see what happens with this one.
[NOTE: One odd fact from the article:
They [the Israeli negotiating team] were expected to hold a preliminary meeting Monday at US Secretary of State John Kerry's home with Palestinian negotiators Saeb Erekat and Mohammad Shtayyeh, and then begin the negotiations in earnest on Tuesday.
John Kerry's home? Doesn't that seem rather odd? Kerry lives in Louisburg Square in Boston's Beacon Hill, by the way, one of the ritziest old-money spots in the city:
The Greek Revival houses around the square reflect the rarefied privilege enjoyed by the 19th century upper class in Beacon Hill. The Atlantic Monthly editor William Dean Howells, teacher A. Bronson Alcott and his daughter, author Louisa May Alcott, are among the famous people who lived there in the 19th Century. One of the last private residences built on Louisburg Square was 2 Louisburg Square, built in 1847 for wealthy merchant and philanthropist Thomas Handasyd Perkins Jr., known as 'short-arm Tom,' who lived at 1 Joy Street.
Currently it is one of the most expensive residential neighborhoods in the country, and an oft-included landmark in walking tours and guidebooks. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry owns a townhouse on Louisburg Square. The average cost of a townhouse on the street exceeds $6 million and reaches as high as $20 million.
Of course, Kerry has many other homes, too. Perhaps it's one of the others we're talking about? But technically, only the Louisburg Square home could rightly be called "his"; the others are in wife Teresa's name.
A lot of people think Kerry is rich because he married Teresa, who was rich because she inherited the money from her late husband John Heinz. That's indeed how Teresa got her enormous wealth, and it's also true that Kerry's wealth increased tremendously on marrying her (at least, his access to the perks of her wealth did). But he was a fairly wealthy man through his own inheritance before he ever married her.
It's interesting to note that Kerry's wealth was no issue for the Democrats in the 2004 election, although it was unearned by him or his wife, whereas Romney's almost entirely earned wealth was considered an awful thing by Democrats in 2012. One can only conclude that earned wealth is more philosophically objectionable to liberals than inherited wealth—at least, when it's earned by a Republican.
Oh, and of course, Bain Capital BAD. It seems like only yesterday that Bain was the bane of so many people's existence. But it was only a year ago.]

Teen dream no more
Just noticed that "High School Musical" and "Hairspray" star Zac Efron turns 20 today. Wonder what Vanessa Hudgens got him for his birthday? After all, he's not a teenager anymore. (Smirk.)
There are some teens with Tiger Beat potential ready to take over Zac's mantle, of course. My vote is for Tyler Posey, who turns 16 today. He played Jennifer Lopez's son in "Maid in Manhattan," has been in some indies no one has ever heard of and has appeared on TV as Sarah's stepson Gabe on "Brothers & Sisters" and as Raul on "Doc." And he's super cute (or at least it seems that way through my bifocals).
Since I'm a bit past the Tiger Beat years myself, I'm interested in the younger stars purely for their talent, ahem. So in the spirit of supporting those with more life experience, here are some of my favorite celebs celebrating birthdays today:
Actor Arliss Howard, 53; TV producer-writer Chuck Lorre, 55; "Mork & Mindy's" better half, Pam Dawber, 56; "All My Children" alum (he played Mark Dalton!) Mark La Mura, 59; early John Sayles regular Joe Morton, 60; and "Gilligan's Island's" Mary Ann, Dawn Wells, 69. Happy birthday, you whippersnappers!

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
I tried to sample the dog, but got a full serving of it instead. What I did on this climb didn't even resemble climbing! (unless you count yarding on draws). The holds are very small. Well, OK, very small, uneven, sharp and sloping. Except where they are slick and sloping. Owch!
This is on the way west end of the North Face of The Box, just as you come around the corner from the South face on the West end. This is the right-most bolted route on the wall.
4 bolts to a pin at a mantle, to a 2-bolt anchor. The 4th bolt does not have a spinner on it, which makes that one unique on this climb. I swear, I hung out at the first clip for 40 seconds finger-tightening that nut.

New iPad + T-Mobile's $30 Walmart Plan?
My better half has a 64GB Verizon iPad (3rd generation). He blows through 2GB of data pretty quickly, but it's my understanding that all current iPads are dual-mode CDMA/GSM and are unlocked and can therefore run on a GSM network, provided the frequencies are compatible. I would like to get him setup with the $30 T-Mobile/Wal-Mart service plan, which is "unlimited" data, and unlimited texting and 100 minutes (which won't be needed obviously).
So here's my question: According to Wikipedia, T-Mobile's UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ network runs on 1700mhz and 2100mhz, with 1900mhz joining the party later in the year. Also according to Wikipedia, the 3rd generation iPad supports 850, 900, 1900, and 2100mhz for UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/etc. So are both 1700mhz and 2100mhz frequencies required for 3G/faux-G connectivity, leaving him on EDGE until their 1900mhz rollout? Or will the 2100mhz compatibility be enough for him to get 3G speeds?
I guess I should also use this space to confirm that both 3rd generation iPad models are indeed unlocked and able to be used on GSM networks, despite being sold as a "Verizon" product, right?
We've both had very negative experiences with AT&T in the past, but I suppose if there was a comparable data-only plan running on AT&T's network he'd probably be willing to give it another shot, on the basis that the T-Mobile plan wouldn't work or would leave him on EDGE-only speeds.

Mandy Moore stars as Hilary Faye, a character Moore calls a cheerleader for the Lord. Pretty and popular, Hilary leads the Christian youth movement at American Eagle Christian High School. Though the part of Hilary had originally gone to another actress (no one will name who it was that first signed on to the role, but Heather Matarazzo claims she was not a good actor), when conflicts arose, the producers turned to Mandy Moore to step in. Busy with her film and singing careers, the filmmakers were surprised when Moore accepted the part. Mandy is a golden girl at the moment; shes being offered many, many projects. But we sent her the script, and seven days later she committed to the movie. I have never had an actor come onto a project so easily and joyously as Mandy. It was incredible.
INTERVIEW WITH MANDY MOORE (Hilary Faye):
Is it true you signed on to this project late in the process?
I was like one of the last people maybe the last to sign on to this. They had somebody else set in the role and then she kind of dropped out for something. I was more than happy to step in.
Id heard about the script from Heather [Matarazzo], actually, for two years. For some reason I always thought Saved! was a drama. She never told me what it was about. I dont know why, but I always just thought Saved! sounded like some thriller or something. But then I read the script and I was like, Oh my God. Where has a movie like this been hiding? This is so something I want to be a part of.
Was it to subvert the image youve cultivated in other movies? Was that part of the reason to do a role like this?
Its so crazy an image that youve been cultivating. Ive been lucky enough to do stuff that I feel very comfortable with, and it just seems the right thing to do. But with a movie like this, how can you pass up the opportunity? Well, the script is so great but to work with like Macaulay [Culkin] and Jena [Malone] and Patrick [Fugit] and Eva [Amurri], just all these really young, talented people who I have so much respect for. Jena, Ive wanted to work with forever. I think shes one of the best young actresses out there. I couldnt pass up the opportunity and Im glad I didnt. Not just for the film itself but for the experience. This was my first independent film experience. It was great. It was like being in high school or college, that whole sort of thing.
Your character reaches a point where she just wants to rebel. Have you ever reached that point where you just want to do something crazy?
No, I havent. I almost wish like I had a little bit more of that in me. Not to be cheesy or anything, my life is good and Im very happy with it, but I lead kind of a boring life outside of doing all of this, honestly. I was just quiet, shy Mandy.
Why do you feel like you need to take chances? Some of your contemporaries are sticking with safe projects and this movie could easily be perceived as controversial.
Oh yeah. I dont think the film is controversial and I feel like Ive done some safe projects in the past. Its really just about scratching that itch for me. Im just itching to do something a little bit different, just to challenge myself. I know everybody says that but you do kind of reach that point where youre like, Alright. Like for me, Ive done enough movies where Im the girl who gets the guy at the end. Im chasing the guy the whole time and then we finally end up together. Thats fine and dandy, but I kind of feel like Im done with that. Im getting older and not that I want to do anything crazy or risqué or anything, I just want to challenge myself a little bit more in different ways. And I dont even know what that is right now but when those certain projects come to you and you read that script, youre like, Thats it. And I just finished this crazy, weird, musical, comedy, drama-thing that John Turturro wrote and directed in New York, and its just the weirdest movie. All of us involved were like, We dont really know what this is and how its going to turn out. But that was the most amazing part of it. It can either be spectacular or people will see it and go, What the hell is that?
What do you play in Turturros movie?
I play the daughter of James Gandolfini and Susan Sarandon. But it was just like this crazy movie. Its an amazing cast.

Some Serena on the side: Starbucks clients picked up a special treat on Valentine's Day when the chain chose Serena Ryder's What I Wouldn't Do as its song of the week.
Ms Ryder started her musical career in Peterborough while attending PCVS and has just released her third CD to rave reviews. She is performing at Showplace on March 10 as a fundraiser for Little Lake Musicfest, where she performed last summer.
Lance is fine: Peterborough This Week reporter/photographer Lance Anderson inspired a gasp from the crowd at the Petes game on Saturday night when he slipped and landed on the ice on his elbow during the game's opening ceremonies.
Thank you for all the queries about how he is recovering. Lance wasn't badly hurt, only a little embarrassed about falling in front of the Hockey Day in Canada full house.
Our wing man: Reporter Todd Vandonk placed second for the second year in a row in the wing-eating contest to promote the Five Counties Children's Centre fundraiser on Monday. Todd packed in 11 wings while police officer Brent Mason and TV weather guy Mike Judson tied for first with 12 wings apiece.
Remember, if you go to the Petes games on Monday, mention Five Counties and part of your ticket price goes towards helping children get the physical therapies they need.

Mr. Moore is also looking for donations of clothes and toiletries of any kind to take on the trip. To find out more, go to www.HHART.info to see the wish list. He hopes to gather everything together by March 18 in order to pack it for the voyage.

The Milky Way contains, at the very minimum, at least 100 billion planets, and many of them are likely to be capable of supporting conditions favorable to life, a new study from Caltech has concluded. That alone sounds like an enormous number, but when you consider that the Milky Way is just one of countless galaxies, the number of planets in the Universe must be unfathomable.
Contrary to previous belief, the latest research by astronomers suggests star systems with planets are actually the norm across the cosmos. And the analysis only includes planets in close orbits around certain kinds of stars, meaning the massive estimate they have offered could yet be doubled.
The Caltech team made this conclusion based on analyzing the planets orbiting the Kepler-32 star, which contains five planets and which the scientists say is representative of the vast majority of stars in our galaxy. Kepler-32 is classified as an M dwarf, and scientists say three out of every four stars in the galaxy are M dwarfs, also known as red dwarfs, notes The Voice of America.
Based on their study of Kepler-32, the astronomers have calculated that there is, on average, one planet for every one of the approximately 100 billion stars in the Milky Way. Scientists say their estimate of 100 billion stars is conservative because it doesn't take into account planets which may be orbiting further away from M dwarfs or planets orbiting other types of stars.

A field not quite of her own. Single women's access to land in communal areas of Zimbabwe
Dominant arguments about women's land access stress the vulnerability of single women's land rights in customary tenure areas. The vulnerability is based on long-held assumptions about customary tenure land governance, land use and gender relations. The paper seeks to contribute to the debate on customary tenure area land access, landlessness and understanding customary tenure evolution. Although single women have increasingly insecure tenure on customary tenure lands, in those systems spaces exist for single women to negotiate access to land. These spaces remain hidden in customary tenure analysis that focuses on the primary-secondary rights dichotomy and the use of land as an agricultural asset.
Drawing on case studies of 22 women in a customary tenure area in Zimbabwe, the paper shows that although resource governance systems in customary tenure areas are male-biased, more diverse opportunities of access exist than previously thought and single women have more room to manoeuvre. The paper (i) explores the logic for the existence of vacant land in an area of land shortage; (ii) identifies opportunities this presents for those without primary access to communal tenure especially single women; and (iii) evaluates the sustainability of these new opportunities of land access to provide a basis for more informed analysis of customary land tenure systems and the implications for marginalised groups.
You can download this publication below or from the website of the International Land Coalition.
This work was carried out as part of a 3-year collaborative project entitled "Securing Women's Access to Land: Linking Research and Action", coordinated by the International Land Coalition (ILC), the Makerere Institute for Social Studies (MISR) of Makerere University in Uganda, and the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) of the University of Western Cape in South Africa. This report is part of a wider initiative on Women's Land Rights.

Black Diamond Zodiac Gear Sling

Great sling for trad climbing. I really like having…
Price Paid: NADA , zippo.......lucky me !!!
Great sling for trad climbing. I really like having two loops so you can balance out your gear.
The large back strap/pad distributes weight well, but can get a little warm on a hot day. It pretty comfortably carries 15 to 20 pounds of gear, above that the loops would need to be stiffer to keep gear from cramming into the bottoms of the loops.
Overall I'm very pleased with it. Much more comfortable than single padded shoulder slings as it does not dig into your neck the way they do. It fits much like a vest with weights in the pockets would.

seriously, the nra makes ads featuring obama's children and heckles the parents of newtown victims? the nra are utterly despicable.—
moby (@thelittleidiot) January 29, 2013
The truth about the "heckling" incident that wasn't is gradually making its way around social media, but not everyone has caught up yet. Piers Morgan is still pushing the idea that Neil Heslin was "shouted down" by a pro-gun mob, and Lawrence O'Donnell has pinned the "heckling" on "gun nuts."
Moby? He's blaming the NRA for doing the heckling after reading about the incident at Politics USA. Politics USA, in turn, got its version of events from MSNBC's Martin Bashir. Bashir? He was interviewing Democrat strategist Julian Epstein, who assumed the "hecklers" were planted by the NRA. "This shows just, I think, how extreme and outrageous the NRA — and I assume the hecklers were NRA moles — how they've become," Epstein told Bashir.

At the Big Horn Olive Oil Company in Mayberry Landing, you taste olive oil like you would wine at a winery. You swirl it, smell it and then you sip and sip and sip. And you realize, true extra virgin olive oil is delicious, it varies in flavor depending on the fruit type and country of origin and here at Big Horn, you can see exactly when the olives were crushed. And according to owner, Mercedes Burkavage, anything older than a year is rancid oil. "We really need stricter rules to live by because Americans are getting old oils that are passed off as light, pure and those words really mean nothing nothing other than they've been processed to look pretty and there's no health benefits in there."
Dr. Kosta Arger is a local cardiologist at Northern Nevada Medical Center. He grew up in a Greek family that only used olive oil. He says the best olive oil to get is extra virgin which is the first time the olives are pressed. He says olive oils are monounsaturated which helps prevent buildup of plaque in arteries. And are far superior when compared to other oils. "They tend to have more antioxidant properties. They tend to have less fattening properties if you will although they are still an oil but generally they are a healthier oil for you because they aren't absorbed in the same way."
And he adds, price can guide you when picking a true extra virgin olive oil. He says the range is around $10 to $20 per liter. Which is what you'll find at Big Horn.
Big Horn Olive Oil Company is located at 3888 Mayberry Landing, next to Whispering Vine. For more information, call the store at 870-1500. Or online at www.bighornoliveoil.com

Wikipedia Meaning and Definition on 'Handbill'
A flyer (also spelled flier1 or called a circular, handbill or leaflet) is a single page leaflet advertising a nightclub, event, service, or other activity. Flyers are typically used by individuals or businesses to promote their products or services. They are a form of mass marketing or small scale, community communication. The verb "flyering" or "fliering" has evolved as a colloquial expression meaning "to put up flyers".
Flyers, along with postcards, pamphlets and small posters, are forms of communication for people who want to engage the public but do not have the money or desire to advertise over the internet, in telephone directories, or classified or display advertising in newspapers or other periodicals. As marketing became more direct in the late 1980s and 1990s, flyers evolved and currently there are many formats to be found.

Good Question: How does salt melt a garden slug?
by Robert Lamb | January 29, 2013
Like it or not, young children can be real jerks to other organisms. It's just part of their feeling-out-process with the surrounding world. And that's a world that includes garden slugs, so the resulting holocaust of salt shakers and slugmelt is inevitable.
So why does salt cause such a disgusting, shriveling, liquifying death in slugs? Here's the step-by-step simple explanation…
- Salt crystals come into contact with slug slime and/or environmental moisture
- Salt crystals dissolve in the liquid to form a salt solution.
I realize I am late to this party, but Netflix sent us the "Salt" DVD this weekend, so Leigh and I watched it. The very first question I had to answer after seeing the movie is: Could Evelyn Salt really make an exploding missile as depicted in this scene: The large jug is obviously ammonia, […]

How twitching frog legs and salt work

Middle School Yearbook Places Bush, Cheney in 'Top 5 Worst People of All Time'
Here's an odd story that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting.
It remains to be seen if the broadcast or cable networks touch on the story:
An Arkansas middle school is in hot water after its yearbook listed former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney among the "Top 5 worst people of all time."
Parents of students at Russellville Middle School were outraged when the yearbook said Bush and Cheney ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, after Nazi leader Adolph Hitler (1), terrorist Osama Bin Laden (2) and mass killer Charles Manson (3).
School Superintendent Randall Williams said the list, which he called "an oversight", was taken from a website and that students had not voted on it. After it was discovered, the publisher hid the list with black tape.
"I'm furious as a parent and as a board member and as a tax payer and as a resident of Russellville," Chris Cloud told, WEWS television station. "It's wrong."
The superintendent said the yearbook editing process is under review.

There's are appropriate venues for free speech . . .
Submitted by Galvanic on Fri, 06/03/2011 - 8:56am.
. . . and a school yearbook is not one of them, unless the school wants to publish numerous and various editions of the book -- one for each political expression that appears.
This is because the yearbook is a momento for students that they purchase with their own money, one that they will keep for years. One could argue that if they dislike the political message in a yearbook, they need not buy it. But then the student doesn't have a yearbook. That's why yearbooks must be free of adversity.
If one or more students want to publish their political thoughts, let them do it on their own dime.

I would ask the student(s) involved if they believed the list ot be accurate. If the answer is Yes, I would then ask Superintendent how poor is his education system that the students would learn this.
Then, I would identify the teacher, and have him/her stand before the school board and parents and explain why that list was permitted to remain in the book, and publicly apologize.
Next, the teacher would be Then suspended for a year without pay. (Of course, the union will never let that happen).

Ohio Secretary of State Releases Report on Voter Fraud
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted released a report today on voter fraud in Ohio during the 2012 general election. In a press release, Husted stated that while voter fraud does exist in Ohio, "it is not an epidemic." According to the report, 135 voter fraud cases have been referred to law enforcement for possible prosecution. Twenty of these cases involved voters attempting to vote in Ohio and another state. The report shows that 115 cases were referred to local Ohio county prosecutors. According to Husted as quoted in the Columbus Dispatch, most of these cases involved voters attempting to vote twice within the state, and in a "majority" of instances, only one vote was counted.

From Texas Tech University:
The National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech University will host an old-fashioned Harvest Festival from 4 to 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 26, during the 6th annual Heritage Halloween event. Visitors of all ages can take part free of charge.
Trick-or-Treaters can fill their bags with period-correct treats as they visit several of the historic structures at the NRHC. Also offered are $1 hayrides through the park, a cakewalk at the McLaughlin Arbor, fall crafts in the 6666 Barn and more.
"Heritage Halloween is an opportunity for children to enjoy the holiday in a safe and educational way," said event coordinator and Manager of Education Emily Wilkinson Arellano. "As children in costumes visit the historic buildings, their treats will be period-correct for each house. For example, at the 1909 Barton House, volunteers will be handing out Hershey's Kisses, which were developed in 1906. At the 1886 Las Escarbadas division of the XIT Ranch, Trick or Treaters will receive Tootsie Rolls, which were developed in 1896."
Cogdells Store will be open with Halloween decorations, gifts and fall merchandise.
Heritage Halloween is free to the public, but donations are welcome at the door.

It's official – the Riverside County Registrar of Voters has certified the results from the June 5 primary.
There don't appear to be any changes in the outcomes of races. Kevin Jeffries widened his lead over Mike Soubirous to 672 votes to finish second behind incumbent Bob Buster in the race for First District seat on the Riverside County Board of Supervisors.
Because Buster failed to get 50 percent plus one of the total vote, it sets up a Nov. 6 runoff between Buster and Jeffries, a term-limited assemblyman from Lake Elsinore. The outcome is a setback for the county's labor unions, who heavily backed Soubirous.
In other races of note, Ed Atkinson will face Rusty Bailey to succeed Ron Loveridge as Riverside Mayor. And four Riverside County Superior Court judges kept their seats.

Does tenant also rig
By Sweety10 at 22:34, Wed March 6 2013, in Tenant Rights - 3 responses
Hi, I am seeking advice. I am renting a house in balbriggan. When I moved to this house, this house was not cleaned or kept ready for us to move in by landlord. House was so messy, bath room, toilet was so dirty, bed was dirty with big stains, dirty under pants were under the bed, grass was up tp knee in back and front garden, almost all things where faulty(landlord was not bothered about all these, before she give house for rent). Totally nothing was right. But now, time came us to move out, my lease is finishing this month and when I want to move out, house agent asking me to clean the house for next tenant to move in, she is asking me to cut the grass, clean the windows and repair the bath room leaks or some other repairs which I informed them, which they did not bother to repair. We were deprived with having party at home due to ripped off furniture. And now house agent says she is going to deduct money from my advance, if I don't do what they expect. Does only landlords have right to ask for what they want? What about my rights as a tenant? Where I paid rent every month without fail, without complaining too much and paid rent for every faulty stuffs. Can I go legally about this matter? Please advice.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students, faculty and staff can't pass the freezing footbridge without bundling up and braving the cold this winter season. Molly Bissen, a junior at UW-Eau Claire, said, "It's frigid. It's very cold. I can handle it because I'm bundled up. But if I wasn't wearing all these layers, it'd be terrible."
Another campus student agrees. Mekuria Zemede, a sophomore majoring in Biology, said, "During the winter time, I try to avoid it. (laugh) It's a little bit windy."
Even Wis. natives find it hard to face the blistering temps. Olivia Sitter crossed the footbridge to get to the other side of campus for work. "It's freezing! It's kind of like the wind is a razor blade, just going right through your clothes."
Add some wind over the Chippewa River, and you're bound to be cold to the bone. Rachel Otte collaborated with Geography Professor, Joseph Hupy, during her undergraduate career on the footbridge to see what causes the subzero temperatures. She said "Basically what we found was that the bridge creates sort of a wind tunnel. So because of the way it's structured, it's sitting right above water, there's no obstruction stopping the wind."
UW-Eau Claire was just named the fifth coldest campus in the nation according to the College Prowlers' website. Joseph Hupy, an associate professor at UW-Eau Claire, said, "You just have all this cold air evaporating water and that's just going to drop temperatures significantly, ten, twenty degrees colder than what it usually would be."
While bundling up in layers may not make a fashion statement, at least it will keep you warm. Bissen said, "I have on, a long sleeve shirt, a sweatshirt, a coat and then obviously gloves and a hat."
Other students agreed. "I have a sweater on, and then my R. A. (residential assistant) jacket, and then my north face. And then I have two pants on, and two socks...And I lost my glove so I've been keeping my hand in my pocket," Zemede said. Sitter said, "I'm wearing long underwear, and a bagillion of layers, and (shivers) just whatever else I can to cover any bits of skin."
The middle of the bridge is the coldest, but what causes it to be such a famous cold spot? Hupy explained north and northwest winds amp the frigid temperatures. "It's kind of like a stew of the perfect ingredients for this. Because you have wind going down a confined valley with no friction and it gets constricted by those valley walls and so the wind velocity will pick up."

Lured here with 2 girlfriends on the promise of a trip "through the fridge door" (if you go, all may become clear, but who am I to blow the secret?). In fact we didn't make it there as we decided to eat first and then the 15-30mins estimated wait to get in plus likely time spent in the fridge times by the inevitable cocktail consumption seemed bound to equal midweek work disaster so we passed and I will have to come back for that particular experience another time. Fortunately that won't be a hardship…
I really liked the casual atmosphere in The Breakfast Club with the mix of high stools, old rail carriage seating and occasional retro 80s paraphenalia (which they've managed not to overdo in some nauseating over-vintage-ified way). The menu covers a fair spectrum of US grub (jacket potatos, salads, waffles, wraps, burgers, buffalo wings etc) and looks unsurprisingly at its forte at breakfast time. The food, like much typical American fare, isn't going to win any prizes as the focus is on filling you up with hearty nosh at reasonable prices. Whilst I managed to finish my cheeseburger, my friend would have needed a second stomach to polish off the nachos with chilli-con-carne. Service was a little haphazard but friendly enough (they ran out of wine glasses but brought me a tumbler, fine for the bog standard red wine I was drinking). Still, at £20 for a big belly of grub and a few vinos, you can't really complain. An interesting little place tucked away in a quiet alley in the City, it fills the hole between the rambunctious nearby pubs and posey gaffes in Shoreditch.

I have fought many great fighters, even beating a few along the way. In all those fights, I have never felt as frustrated as I felt tonight. Ben Askren is truly a great wrestler/grappler and I look forward to seeing him develop in the sport. I have been a fan of Ben's since I knew him in high school and am appreciative that Bellator provided me an opportunity for my last fight to be against a fighter for whom I have such tremendous respect.
I love this sport and all that it has given to me and it is with a mix of joy and sadness that I realize that I am no longer willing to pay the price necessary to compete at the level I expect from myself – the level of guys like Ben, Weedman and Heiron. I have reached a point where it is more important to me to spend time at home with my daughter and wife, who have been great about me competing, and focus on developing my law career at O'Flaherty Heim Egan & Birnbaum LTD, which has also been great about me competing. I am grateful for the many wonderful people who supported me and those I met in mixed martial arts, fans and fighters, and am hopeful that I can give something back to the sport I love by coaching and/or representing the next crop of mixed martial arts superstars.
Thank you!

Sandy Run Middle School Principal Denise Falconi sent a letter to parents today explaining what steps the school district will take to accelerate students' choices for world languages for the next school year.
Falconi said the students' and parents' choices are needed earlier "due to the budget challenges the district is experiencing." The letter continues to say that the language choices will determine staffing needs for the future.
From the letter:
In order to make certain that your child has exposure to all four of the language choices by the time the decision in made, the world language department and I have put some extra measures in place.
1. All students in grade 6th will experience a mini-rotation of the languages they have not yet been exposed to in the next month.
2. A special Open House for world language for parents will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Annex. Further details to follow shortly.
3. All sixth grade students will be treated to team assemblies on the various languages hosted by our world language teachers during the advisory period the last week of January.
Please be assured that we are doing everything possible to ensure that your child (and you) make the best possible choice for the language selection for the next school year. Should you have additional questions, please contact me via email or at extension 7201.
