Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Avril Lavigne, Jewel, Michelle Branch, Tim McGraw, Beyonce, Michael Jackson and more top artists are all sharing one set. Each has a distinct style. How do you accommodate them all? You create a virtual set.
LD Allen Branton and production designer John Calkins did just that. They envisioned using High End Systems' new Catalyst® Version 3 media servers and DL1™ digital light fixture as tools to create a virtual set when designing the production for the Radio Music Awards. Airing Oct. 27 on NBC-TV live from Las Vegas, the show celebrated hot music on the nation's airwaves. Digital media gave them the flexibility they needed to change the look of the set from one artist to another.

Christian Choi, lighting director and Catalyst visual effects producer, was pleased to use the new Catalyst Version 3 software in the show. "It gets me excited just talking about it," he says. "It's is a quantum leap over Version 1.2. It's incredible what you can do with this software. Functionality has exponentially increased and all of the effects channels were so brilliantly conceived that it really marries technology to art. This was a living, breathing Catalyst set."

A main difference in the new Catalyst Version 3 software is the ability to use four layers and cross-fade between them all. "This feature is an invaluable tool," Choi says. "In the video world, everybody wants dissolves, and Catalyst Version 3 gives you that ability," he explains. "It enables you to do play with multiple layers at once and masking out different parts of that layer and using up to four videos at once, playing behind each other. That's really a cool thing to do, because it allows you to recycle old art into new art."
Choi says the software was completely "bullet proof--very reliable. I put it through some paces, and pushed the limits on it and it held up great during the show."
Following suggestions from Branton and Calkins, Choi shot most of the show's video content, focusing on closeups of movie props, metal pieces, odd industrial structures, control panels, speakers, more. He then edited it and applied some effects on it, using dissolves, making it different colors or using the 3D effects. Christian Sariol handled the graphic content, which ran on its own or layered with video for some great effects.
The set featured three screens, with projectors rear-projecting behind each--all provided by American High Def. Behind each screen were the Catalyst Media Servers. Six DL1s, also outfitted with Version 3 software, added effects on the front truss behind the presenters.
VLPS provided lighting, including 26 HES Studio Color® 575s in the assorted moving light package. They also supplied the Wholehog® II console, Catalyst Media Servers, VLPS Content Library and production services. HES supplied DL1s.
"This was a landmark event, a real joint venture," Choi notes. "It was a great display of teamwork amongst all parties."

Well, what to say? I think the Angst has been articulated pretty well. I don't think there is much room for more, although the case could be made that the entire team (including coaches and GM) should run wind sprints until they puke. What should Pioli do with this team? I'm for pulling the pin. A major shake up right now, today, is the only chance this team has to make significant change. It most likely won't happen but if it did and it failed, what have we lost? We are headed for disaster at worst and missing the playoffs at least, on the current course anyway.
I've heard many fans still clinging to their slim (and probably misguided) hope that this team can turn it around. All the comments about how it's only 2 games, there are still 14 to go and look how this team turned it around last year after Romeo took over, are of course constantly (and correctly) refuted with the "teams that start out 0-2 only make the playoffs 12% of the time" argument. Really folks, what have you seen from this team that makes you believe that these two games are just some aberration? That somehow, magic kicks in this week and it turns around and we still win 10 or more games this season? Conversely, what have you seen from this team that reminds one of the Cleveland Browns from 2005-2008?
All we have is what we've seen on the field and what we've been told from the coaching staff and some players, ad infinitum, about how they've got to 'figure' it out and how they've 'got' to get better. Frankly, that song has been played so frequently it's becoming the Chiefs anthem. I'm tired of hearing it, and I think many of you are too.
Once again, the Chiefs find themselves facing an uphill battle after only 2 games of the season that literally puts redemption farther away than it was when they started. Once again this year, we head into game one without being at full strength because of injury and suspension.
That's Ok, the proletariat Chief's fan base said, we just have to bow up and kick some ass anyway. It didn't happen. Matt Cassel and the lunch bucket brigade started out as if they actually had a plan. To a certain extent, they did. They had changed up 2011's Keystone Kops, which three and out technique do we use this week offense, to a more passing friendly, Brian Daboll, can we please throw the ball out of the shotgun offense. This was something that I and other Chiefs fans had mentioned as something we'd like to see.
Right out of the gate, it looked like it might work. Cassel and the offense moved the ball down the field and actually scored some points! Wonder of wonders! Could it be that the Chiefs anemic offensive production could finally be on the mend? Would we finally get to see some high scoring Chiefs football?
We got to see some high scoring all right--from the other team. The Chiefs defense played as if there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference between it and last years rendition. So, what did we learn? I don't know about you, but I learned that a defense can suck with or without an off season to prepare, a player lockout by the owners and sparkling camp reports about how well the team is doing.
What did that offense do after such a promising start? They folded up the tents and began playing like rank amateurs when Succop missed a FG. There was no more innovation, no spark and nothing but dejected faces coming off the field time after uneventful time. What did we learn from that? I learned that my concerns about Daboll were well founded. Any OC can put together a passing attack. Only a select few are true game managers capable of changing plans on the fly to adjust to what they see on the field. Right now, I have nothing to make me think that Daboll is one of the latter and not the former. Week 2 merely added fuel to that fire.
In Week 2 we returned to full strength, adding back in those players (primarily Flowers and Hali) that oh so many of us thought would change the outcome. We were playing a team that was struggling in it's own right and had put up a similar showing to ours in week one. Injuries were finally hurting the opposition and not us. It was gonna be a great week to get well. Not so fast said coach Galey. You gotta beat us first.
It didn't happen. In fact, in week 2, I would say that most fans would be hard pressed to say that the team improved on the field at all. Some might even be inclined to say that they played worse. Given the score in the game, it's hard to argue against that. Kalo just released his analysis of our defense last week and low and behold, based on what his eyes saw, the defense didn't adjust to the play on the field. Contrary to popular belief, running the same package over and over and expecting a different result is not called adjusting. Actually, it comes close to the definition of insanity.
Doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result has been referred to as the definition of insanity. I'd at least call it inept and disappointing. Call it whatever you want, it isn't getting us any wins. Those are the facts of the case and they are not in dispute.
So now what? It's week three and looking back once again at Romeo's record, he's never won a week three game as HC. Ever. Can he beat the trend? Will it make any difference? Going into NOLA and trying to win versus Drew Brees and the Saints is a tall order under the best of circumstances. Actually, going in and playing them this season, given the troubles they have had should be in our favor. If our coaching staff had shown any ability to motivate players and scheme the offense and defense, we might just be in position to win this game. Now? Now there is nothing to hold onto except Romeo and Daboll's increasingly declining win/loss percentages. That ain't gonna feed the Bull Dog.
If this team looks similar this week to what they looked like in week 1&2, this season is a bust. The odds are very long already for this team to make the playoffs and another loss this week is just about the final nail in the coffin. Have you looked at the Injury Report this week? It looks like Dr. Frankenstein's shopping list. Gotta love a coach that coddles those players with hang nails and broken eyelashes.
With upcoming games against San Diego, Baltimore and Tampa Bay the road doesn't level out, it gets steeper. A loss tomorrow may just be insurmountable for this teams 2012 season. If they hit the bye at 0-6, who'll be betting that they have a winning record, much less make a playoff game?
I know you all are tired of hearing me discuss the actual performance of this team in relationship to my concerns since the end of last season. That's cool. The reality of this team's abysmal performance this season has turned out even more disappointing than I had thought. K-man has already cut and run from AP based on what he's seen in the first two games. I wonder how many others have already tuned out? Babb and Mellinger have laid the blame squarely at Pioli's feet. Unless you believe we have stellar coaching and idiotically incompetent players, you have to admit that's where it does belong.
I'm still nursing the smallest of hopes that somehow magic does indeed return this week. The Saints are as weak as I've seen them in the last 2-3 seasons. The possibility of getting lucky does still exist. The problem is, it's Drew freak'in Brees for crying out loud. I'll wait to see what happens tomorrow before I write it all off, but I gotta tell ya, the fact that hunting season is just around the corner is becoming more and more important to my Sunday afternoons.
Good luck tomorrow Chiefs. I hope you are not willing to accept mediocrity. I know I'm not. Loosing an arrow on this
Is a whole lot less mediocre than watching another three score loss on the football field.
Genesis 9:2
The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered.

About halfway throughnthe below 28-minute video interview with Thandie Newton, on The Ayo Show, uploaded to YouTube about a week ago, Newton is asked whether she'd like to be on the other side of the camera, as a director.
And here's what she said in response:
"I'm writing now... I'm adapting a book that I love... set in Oakland and Brooklyn in the 1960s USA... so it's the Black Panthers, Civil Rights..."
Of course my antennae shut up... always looking for a scoop!
Unfortunately, she doesn't give anymore than that (I kept hoping she'd reveal the book title, but she doesn't); so, of course, I had to run through the library in my mind, trying to figure out what book this might be. And, well, the clues she's given are far too broad to come up with a short list - set in 1960s USA (Oakland & Brooklyn specifically), and centered around the Black Panthers and movement towards Civil Rights.
How many books fit that description?
I suppose we could assume that she may be adapting the book for herself to star in, and if so, then we can further narrow down the list to books (fiction and non-fiction) set in that time period as the story's backdrop, with a black woman at the center of the narrative. Assuming of course...
Still... even though I certainly haven't read every book, I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that the list is long.
I'll let you guys come up with your own guesses.
You can watch the full interview below; she talks about her background, acting, personal non-film related projects, and more. The part where the above quote was lifted starts around the 13-minute mark.
Sepia830 | June 11, 2012 10:28 PM
Thandie always gives a great interview. Love her. Not so crazy about the interviewer though. She really should learn to ask a question and then let the subject speak without constant interruption. Very annoying.
Xi | June 2, 2012 8:31 AM
This was great! I'm an even bigger fan after seeing this.
LeonRaymond | June 1, 2012 7:54 PM
Here Tambay, I truly want to know your thoughts on this cause I do so agree!!!!
BluTopaz | June 1, 2012 7:29 PM
I would say Elaine Brown's a Taste of Power, but I don't recall any of the locations being in Brooklyn. Plus I hope it's not; I'm NOT a Thandie fan and this is one of my fave autobiographies.
Kia | June 1, 2012 3:10 PM
Love Thandie. She's very straight forward in interviews. Appreciated that she acknowledged her own cast typing as not what she wants to do because I was beginning to wonder what was up with her current choices. Thanks for sharing.
peaceseeker | June 1, 2012 1:21 PM
This interview is so inspiring. I've listened to it twice already -- her poinant messages for people who've been hurt in terrible ways have really hit home for me. Its wonderful she's continuing her work with Human Rights -- an organization that's quite flawed and could definitely learn from her vocal presence and strong compassion.

On ESPN it says that Md offered a scholarship to big man Amile Jefferson, graded 97 (5 stars). Does anyone know any details -- if he's visiting campus, where he's leaning, etc?
I'm also glad to see that Md seems to have withdrawn offers to anyone in the 2012 class who doesn't play forward. Still though, it looks like we have some offers out there for Cinmeon Bowers and Shakir Brown, at around 6'5" each. Which seems like BS. We should only make offers to dudes 6'8" or bigger.

Great harness! My first real harness. Just took it out for trial run and it couldn't have been better. Very comfortable. I'm about 200lbs and a 36 waist and the large was a perfect fit. Looks durable enough. I feel like I'm going to be enjoying this harness for a long time to come.Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Overall a great harness
January 04, 2011
Coming from using an older Metolius harness, the Sama is much lighter, more breathable (the padding on the Metolius used to get soaked in the NC summers), easier to put on and take off, and has better positioned gear loops. There don't seem to be any issues hanging in it as I sit upright and is more comfortable than my existing harness. The only down side is that I wish it had a full strength haul loop. I'm 6', 165, with a 32" waist, the medium fits just fine.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value, Cons: haul loop
Light and Comfortable
May 22, 2008
I use this as my sport climbing harness. Its nice and light yet still comfortable enough for serious hang dogging sessions. The elastic on the leg loops help keep them in place but would not fit over multiple layers that would be used if you were Ice Climbing or Mountaineering. If youre looking for a lightweight harness for clipping bolts, without compromising comfort, the Sama from Petzl is just the ticket.
Awesome Harness!
November 21, 2010
I previously had a Black Diamond harness it was very uncomfortable, the harness did not distribute the weight evenly so there was always "spots" where over time it becomes very annoying. Based on that I wanted to choose my next harness carefully so after much research and talking to people who've had Petzl harnesses I chose this one. I absolutely am a fan of the Sama it does not feel like anything is there at all! I feel that the harness distributes my weight evenly across the loops and its no longer uncomfortable descending plus its light weight and the mesh loops and weist are completely breathable!.
Good, but not great.
December 28, 2011
This harness is better than most. Don't get me wrong. But if you want to get picky - and I do - it's a little bulky and does not breathe well. So, while it is definitely comfortable to sit in - it takes up a lot of room in your bag, and perspiration builds up under the swami and leg loops. I know. Most harnesses are bulky and this is in the middle of the pack for bulkiness. And most harnesses don't breathe well. So, this is probably in the middle of the pack there too. In all other ways, this harness excels. The problem is that I'm comparing this to two older alpine harnesses that were not comfortable as well as one old, and one new arcteryx harness - both of which are comfortable to sit in - especially the new one that fits since I've lost weight.Pros: comfortable, Build quality, design, Cons: does not breathe, a little bulky

And while we were doing that, some old and not so old fears came out in our conversation.
The day of the RCTV closure(about a week and a day ago) we met with a few other friends at a demonstration the opposition planned to protest against the measure. I raised my eyes to look and noticed a few people making signs to us from a bridge just over the demonstration – "Something's not right" – I thought and from one minute to another, the protesters around me started running in different directions, in a way that the crowd almost could ran over you. My friends and I just walked a little, then one of them gave us all a little bit of toothpaste to put inside the eyes and the nose; just in case it was a tear gas bomb, this will calm the effects of the gas. But we don't sense the smell – "It was probably just water, dropped from the police truck" – He said. Then we heard two or three shots and we recognized the smell immediately: it must had been tear gas bombs.
For me its time to run, but my best friend would not agree: "If the others are staying, why we shouldn't stay as well?"- I tell her that my leg hurts a little and in case of a major danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to run so much, so we better run and hide now. But she wants to look for some other friends here and there and I find myself in a desperate situation. My best friend is insisting to just stay in the middle of street while tear gas bombs are being dropped and I can't convince her otherwise. A minute later we see a police line that we didn't know where it came from, moving against us with their shields. It's kind of weird, since we are not at the end of the demonstration which was the government's communication office: CONATEL but near by some mall at the beginning of that street. "So why are the policeman attacking on that side too?" – I asked to my friends. But we don't have time to discuss it now, and another friend and me take my best friend's arm and force her to run with us and get inside a hotel lobby (first place we luckily found to hide), and prohibited her to go out to the demonstration.
She calls her family and tries to find the way to come back home. We are even afraid to let her and her sister come back to her place just like that. She lives in an area considered as a "Chavista" one (Chavez supporters place). Although I'm not sure that it's actually a "Chavista" place anymore, it's certainly dangerous especially counting the fact that the night of the RCTV closure is just starting and there's policeman, soldiers, and probably Chavez supporters armed hanging around with their motorcycles everywhere. She insists, we argued a little and then she just turns the corner and leaves. I looked at another friend, we were visible frustrated. She came back home safe, as the matter of fact, our other common friend and I came back home much later than when she did and we probably exposed ourselves to a bigger risk; even counting that we live in an safer area than hers.
A few hours later everyone is at home, with tears in our eyes, as the last minutes of the first TV channel are approaching and what's even more important: our freedom of speech is officially dying. The signal stops at 12:00 am after the National Anthem has been sung by the crew of RCTV. The logo of TVES, the new TV government's sponsored channel turns around the scream. My mom turns off the TV and hugs my dad and the alarms, used as a new way of protest, just sound everywhere. The news or the rumors we can hear talks about riots everywhere. I cannot stop thinking that in a free country I would be still with my best friends protesting at the street until the RCTV signal stops instead of crying at home. Actually, in a free country, I could still turn on the TV and watch the RCTV journalist criticize the government anytime I want to. But, "get down off that cloud, girl": this is not a free country anymore.
Next morning, it is Monday again: May, 28th of 2007. But not just another Monday: the students are not attending to class as they used to. Instead, they are filling the biggest auditorium of the university in order to attend to an unusual and brand new "Asamblea de Estudiantes" ("Students assembly"). Soon, they will be ready to attend to several street peaceful demonstrations and they will repeat the same equation all week long.
On the road, they will change their goals from just protesting against RCTV closure to ask for freedom, pure and general. They are soon going to realize that they are not part of any political party and they have a different agenda from the one the current opposition haves. They are a political movement but above all they are a civil rights movement. In the road they will meet with an even stronger police repression: illegal detentions, tear gas bombs and cartridge pellets that will force them to paint their hands with white painting as a request for peace. Soon, they will be called "el movimiento de las manos blancas" (the "white hands movement") and the movement will spread from universities in Caracas to universities all over the country: private and public, poor and rich, bad called "Chavistas" and "non-Chavistas" institutions and even high schools.
My best friend gets quickly involved with the movement and religiously attends to every single assembly and every single demonstration. But life has other plans for me: my sister has a terrible pain and she cannot wait any longer: my nephew is born the same day that freedom of speech dies. And while I see all my friends protesting, running, and giving speeches on TV, I stay in the hospital part envious, part scared, part excited and divided between my family and my desperate need to join the movement. You cannot be on two places at the same time and I feel that my family needs me more at the moment. My best friend is running of the tear gas while I'm holding in my arms a new member of my family.

6Gwyneth Paltrow Claims She Cries "All the Time"
From Radar Online via InStyle:
"You can call my shrink on that one," she candidly responds to a question about why she works so hard. "The positive thing that drives me is a curiosity and momentum. The negative is a need to validate myself or feel special. Like a childhood need to differentiate myself or…"
Gwyneth, who also talks about her postpartum depression in the interview conducted by her fashion designer pal Diane von Furstenberg, continues her sob story. "I cry all the time," she admits. "I cried half an hour ago. I'm a crybaby!"
When asked if she cried out of happiness or frustration, she candidly responds on the darker side.
"Maybe out of sadness or uncertainty. Do you feel bad for me now?"
Ooh. Girl. Yeah, I do. I feel really, really bad for you. See, it's like your life is just the way you portrayed it in Country Strong, minus the hot young Garrett Hedlund. And that's enough to make anyone cry all, all the time.
Think maybe Gwyneth should see someone about these mini-meltdowns?

6 Responses to "Gwyneth Paltrow Claims She Cries "All the Time""
Obvs she cries. She doesn't sweat, so I guess all that extra water needs to come out somehow.
She is one of those celebs I have a love/hate relationship with. On one hand she is sweet and delicate, and is capable of acting well, and on the other she tends to be super uptight and snobbish. I don't know.
Although I am not a violent person by any stretch of the imagination, every time I see Gwyneth Paltrow, I'm seized by an overwhelming urge to punch her in the face. I find her extremely irritating.
That's awesome.

Mmmm, nothing like slow cooked bbq. Is this our biggest test of the season and maybe another turning point in the program? I would answer yes to both. Arkansas is the best team we will play unless, until, we make the title game. If we can win another on the road, especially against a high quality opponent like Arkansas, then it will be another mountain this program will have climbed and go a long way to garnering the respect deserved for USC football. Thank you Spurrier! Now how do we do this? I look forward to Gamecock Man's analysis to parse what we have to do beat this team. As much talent as there is at the skill positions on both teams, I think the game will be won in the trenches. If we can get pressure with four man fronts and the oline can give Shaw time to throw we have a definite chance to win this game. We need to score at least 24 points to win and that means we will have to throw it around effectively.
Look forward to Saturday. Go Cocks!!!

I'm also interested in what the weather is like in the area in early-mid September. We are new Roadtrek owners and are planning to head out west in September 2013. Thanks!
Posted 02 July 2013 - 08:03 PM
We were in Rapid City in early August 2012. It was 100+ every day, and usually a late afternoon thunderstorm. I suggest you look up the typical weather the time of year you plan on visiting, but the summers are a lot hotter than you would think.
Posted 03 July 2013 - 06:56 AM
Steer clear of the Black Hills in August. That is when they hold the Motor Cycle Rally in Sturgis and there can be as may as 600,000 motor cyles in the area during the Rally time. Late September is not a bad time to visit.
Mt Rushmore is a wonderful place to visit. After you see it in tha daylight please go back at night. It is awesome at night.
Have a great trip.

Abstract. Several thousands ozone vertical profiles collected in the course of the MOZAIC program (Measurements of Ozone, Water Vapour, Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Oxides by In-Service Airbus Aircraft) from August 1994 to February 2002 are investigated to bring out climatological and interannual variability aspects. The study is centred on the most frequently visited MOZAIC airports, i.e. Frankfurt (Germany), Paris (France), New York (USA) and the cluster of Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka (Japan). The analysis focuses on the vertical integration of ozone from the ground to the dynamical tropopause and the vertical integration of stratospheric-origin ozone throughout the troposphere. The characteristics of the MOZAIC profiles, frequency of flights, accuracy, precision, and depth of the troposphere observed, are presented. The climatological analysis shows that the Tropospheric Ozone Column (TOC) seasonal cycle ranges from a minimum wintertime at all four stations to a spring-summer maximum in Frankfurt, Paris, and New York. Over Japan, the maximum occurs in spring because of the earlier springtime sun. The invasion of monsoon air masses in the boundary layer and in the mid-troposphere then steeply diminishes the summertime value. Boundary layer contributions to the TOC are 10% higher in New York compare to Frankfurt and Paris during spring and summer, and are 10% higher in Japan compare to New York, Frankfurt and Paris during autumn and early spring. Local and remote anthropogenic emissions as well as biomass burning over upstream regions of Asia may be responsible of larger low- and mid-tropospheric contributions to the tropospheric ozone column over Japan throughout the year except during the summer-monsoon season. A simple Lagrangian analysis has shown that a minimum range of 10% of the TOC is of stratospheric-origin throughout the year. The investigation on the short-term trends of the TOC over the period 1995–2001 shows a linear increase of 0.7%/year in Frankfurt, 0.8%/year in Japan, 0.9%/year in Paris, and 1.1%/year in New York. Essential ingredients to these positive short-term trends are the continuous increase of wintertime tropospheric ozone columns from 1996 to 1999 and the positive contributions of the mid-troposphere whatever the season.

11 Badass Conspiracy Theory Movies27
By B.Z.
11 Badass Conspiracy Theory Movies
Even with Bush out of the oval office, and 9/11 many years in our rear view mirror, America is still fascinated by conspiracy theories. Why? Well, who doesn't love tapped phones, untraceable weapons, and secret government agents in Ray Bans?
Perhaps you're one of the many who believe that the government or corporate America is recording everything we do and say. And if you're anything like Daniel McCarthy from the new KoldCast series, "Tyranny", maybe you're even on a quest to do something about it. But conspiracy theorist or not, you have to admit it's fun to ponder the possibilities, and even moreso to watch the little guy kick some serious Big Brother ass. To get you in the mood for the first few bad-ass episodes of "Tyranny", here's a compilation of badass films that dabble in conspiracies both eerily realistic and hyper-realistic. If we left any of your favorites off, please let us know in the comment section!
In perhaps the most famous example of the genre, Oliver Stone blends fact and fiction to present the elaborate counter-theories behind the John F. Kennedy assassination. Complete with magic bullets, hidden shooters, government cover-ups, homosexual escapades, and Cuban freedom fighters, the film's conspiracy elements are as frantic and jarring as its chaotic editing. Though JFK was attacked for factual inaccuracies that attracted a heap of controversy, the film fomented public curiosity that led to the passage of The President John F. Kennedy Assassinatino Records Collection Act of 1992 and the formation of the U.S. Assassination Records Review Board.
2. The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
Based on Richard Condon's 1959 novel of the same name, this classic film tells the story of a communist plot to assasinate American political figures by brainwashing the son of a prominent political family. Released during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the film captured the political turmoil of its decade, revived the hysteria of 50′s McCarthyism, and fortuitously presaged the conspiracies following Kennedy's imminent assassination.
3. All the President's Men (1976)
This retelling of the Watergate scandal proves that, sometimes, truth is more entertaining than fiction. The film recounts the investigative efforts of Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to uncover the truth behind the infamous Watergate break-in and the Nixon Administration's campaign to sabotage its rivals. Some of the film's most memorable and heavily referenced scenes include the reporters' encounters with Deepthroat, the anonymous informant often seen emerging from the shadows of empty parking garages.
4. The Conversation (1974)
Inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup and paving the way for landmark films like Blow Out and blockbusters like Enemy of the State, Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation revealed the frightening world of government surveillance through the eyes of an increasingly paranoid audio technician. Gene Hackman delivers a career-defining performance as surveillance expert Harry Caul, who loses his grip on reality after closely investigating the contents of an audio recording. Though the film is somewhat ambiguous about the sources of Caul's paranoia, it introduced audiences to the possibilities of government audio surveillance, an all-too-real phobia in the age of the Patriot Act.
5. Chinatown (1974)
Set in 1930s Los Angeles, Roman Polanski's neo-noir classic Chinatown exemplifies the gritty, deeply entrenched corruption of a hardboiled detective novel. Even though it regularly tops best films lists for its outstanding performances, complex character development, and stylish film-noir direction, we cannot forget the film's inherent elements of conspiracy. Sex scandals, real estate fraud, and corrupt city officials abound in this dark tale, which weaves the seedy history of L.A.'s origins into a richly imaginative detective story.
6. Parallax View (1974)
With Parallax View, director Alan J. Pakula (All the President's Men) delivers yet another film that encapsulates the paranoia and political distrust of the 60s and 70s. A reporter suspects the Parallax Corporation of organizing a recent slew of high-profile assassinations. The startling truth is an amalgam of conspiracy theory staples, complete with corporate corruption, governmental cover-up, and, fresh from The Manchurian Candidate, assassins under mind control.
7. Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
The final installment in the successful Bourne trilogy, The Bourne Ultimatum ties up most of the series' loose ends, revealing the truth behind the secret CIA assassination program responsible for Bourne's past. Renowned for the gritty action sequences, taut camera work, and fast pacing, the whole franchise seamlessly integrates pure spectacle into the psychological depth of good conspiracy. But it is Bourne's development that makes the franchise. Matt Damon's character remains compelling because of his human vulnerability. His mental acumen and physical dexterity are ultimately superseded by the frustrations accompanying his amnesia, solitude, and vagrancy, obstacles that make the film's revelations all the more satisfying.
8. North by Northwest (1959)
Hitchcock's unique blend of heart-pounding action sequences and gripping suspense make North by Northwest a formative film in both the conspiracy and action genres. The film is a story of mistaken identity in which an innocent man is chased across the U.S. by an unnamed organization trying to smuggle government secrets out of the country. The sought-after secrets function as a classic MacGuffin, merely inciting the action and suspense that drive the film, and Hitchcock's themes of identity, deception, and moral relativism directly informed the conspiracy genre.
9. Capricorn One (1978)
Though most conspiracy films focus on governmental corruption, intricately networked societies, and secret assassins, Capricorn One tackles the subject of space-race conspiracies. Inspired by the infamous claims that the first Apollo Moon landing was a hoax, the film tells the story of scientists who stage the first manned mission to Mars and ultimately stop at nothing to preserve the lie. While this B-movie garnered mostly mediocre reviews, it pioneers long-awaited territory in conspiracy films.
10. The Game (1997)
In this David Fincher classic, Michael Douglas plays Nicholas Van Orton, a work-obsessed businessman who receives a mysterious, life-changing gift from his brother: a role-playing game that merges with his real life. When the truth of the purported game unravels and layers of complexity are revealed, the "game" seems to be a deadly conspiracy to usurp Nicholas's power and property. After narrowly escaping death, surviving a premature burial, and finding himself lost in Mexico, Nicholas attempts suicide, only to be saved by those conspiring against him. It was all just an elaborate game designed to get him out of a rut. The moral of the story? Don't trust your brother.
11. The Pelican Brief (1993)
As Julia Roberts also proved later on in her career with her Oscar-winning performance in Erin Brokovitch, she knows how to make a solid conspiracy theory movie. In this John Grisham adaptation, Roberts plays a law student who stumbles upon the real reason two Supreme Court Justices were assasinated: greed. Specifically, Roberts writes a brief (can you guess the name of the brief?) which pins the murders on an oil tycoon who took issue with the judges' environmental policies. Fortunately for Roberts, Denzel Washington was there to help her save the day.

Expectations exceeded - Central enters playoffs with a high level of confidence
The boss was worried.
San Angelo Independent School District Athletic Director Rex Scofield knew he was going out on a limb when he promoted assistant Tony Vu to be the head coach of the Central High School Boys program last summer.
Vu was 28 years old.
He'd never been a head coach before.
He was inheriting a team — the defending district champion Bobcats — that came into this season with 13 seniors and high expectations of repeating as District 3-5A champs.
"Yes, I was worried, but I also had faith in him," said Scofield, who was left scrambling to fill the position after Joey Rodriguez left last summer to coach at Justin Northwest. "My reservations were more about him being so young and having never been a head coach before.
"He had a great soccer background, but being a head coach involves so much more than the game."
Fast forward nine months, and the boss isn't worried anymore.
"I called Tony into my office the other day, and told him he'd exceeded all my expectations," Scofield said.
Vu has led the team to a 15-2-1 record as it repeated as District 3-5A champions as they head into today's playoff opener at North Crowley (12-8-1).
Not a bad debut for a guy who is almost sure to be named the district's Coach of the Year when those awards are released later this season.
"Only two regular season losses, along with winning a district title, is a great way to start my career off," Vu said.
Unlike Scofield, however, Vu hasn't exceeded his own expectations.
"We've made the playoffs, but if we don't do anything past this point, it will be a disappointment, and I think all the guys will agree," Vu said.
"We're definitely going in (to the playoffs) confident. We want to make a run toward the state tournament."
Those are lofty goals for a coach that had so much working against him before the season, but Vu has turned all those negatives into positives.
Too young?
That just means Vu can get out on the field with his players and show them how to do things instead of just telling them.
Less than 10 years ago, Vu was leading Central boys soccer teams on playoff runs of his own.
"He's got a pretty good left foot," Central senior Chance Vick said. "When he warms the keepers up, we kinda all just stand back and watch. He can rip that ball like no other.
"Sometimes he'll come up and mix it up with us on the field, and that's always fun. He's a really good defender."
Too inexperienced?
That just means Vu doesn't have the ego of a longtime coach.
"He doesn't yell a lot," Vick said. "He has faith in our team. We know that, and that's a big thing. It really means a lot when your coach has faith in you."
Depending on the player, the answers vary about why Vu doesn't yell much, however.
"We don't ever do stuff to make him yell," Central's Ben Bale said.
The soft-spoken Vu said the perception that he is too quiet on the sideline has taken on a life of its own.
"The parents are always joking that I don't yell at all during the games," Vu said. "I think I'm pretty loud."
In his interview for the head coaching vacancy last year, Vu didn't say much either.
"I remember he came in and was very quiet, but he knew what he was doing," Scofield said. "All of his answers were exactly what we were looking for."
All his results have been too.
The first year
Here are some of the ups and down of Tony Vu's first year as Central boys soccer head coach — in his own words.
Favorite moment? — "The first home game against Midland High. We were down 2-1 and to come back and win. That game will always stick out in my mind. It was the first time our guys had beat Midland High in a while and it came against Warren (Cottle), my coach growing up, so that will stay with me."
Most disappointing moment? — "Losing those two district games. I thought we were capable of running the table in district. Other than that I couldn't ask for anything more."
Any part of the job harder than expected? — "The hardest part is all the paperwork you have to take care of outside of the game. I definitely had to stay organized. Keeping the practices organized is hard to do."
Ever doubt yourself? — "The first game of the year was a little scary, not wanting to start off with a loss. I knew these guys' ability, and I didn't want to lose and start doubting my ability as a coach."

By SAMANTHA MANNING 6 News Reporter
RUTLEDGE (WATE) - A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper was suspended without pay after an internal investigation found he filed incorrect information in a police report.
Trooper Michael Toby Cameron was suspended for making the inaccurate police report with the Rutledge Police Department in December of 2012.
According to the internal investigation, Cameron gave a false account of a stalking incident during that time.
Cameron said that a man pulled up around ten feet away from his patrol car in a Rutledge parking lot, blocking his way out.
Cameron also said the man angrily stared at him, making him fear for his safety.
But the internal investigation showed that surveillance video in the parking lot disproves Cameron's original statements.
Another trooper on duty that night also said Cameron's story was incorrect.
When confronted with the video, Cameron admitted that his story didn't match the tape but told investigators that he was just mistaken and didn't intentionally give false information.
The disciplinary report finds that whether it was intentional or accident, Cameron's accidents may have violated state law.
Cameron was suspended from Feb 3 to Feb 9.

I met so many people it was certainly a blast. I've decided to be more open to the characters I create. I want to focus on more Afrofuturistic stories. The Afrofuturist is definitely getting printed and is almost done. I have a few freebie comics i'm printing. Inkblot Choice Cuts and Morning Glory. See below;
My family issues continue as they have continued since I've turned 18 and am now 34. I've been called a liar to a loser to immature to no good to a piece of shit to gonna end up poor in the streets. That shit doesn't really get to me as much as it hurts. I can't blame how my family deals. My grandmother was sweet but very bi polar and wasn't the nicest of people at times. It is what it is. I feel God, the spirits above, have a plan for me and I'm going forth. I also am planning to use more LGBT characters in my work beacuse people have told me they would like to see characters like that, and i believe they have a voice too. Fuck what other people think. That's all i have for now. keep rocking, keep moving along.

Walmart: Let's Put One in YOUR Neighborhood!
Original post made by Justicia on Aug 11, 2013
Now, Walmart's effect on the jobs economy is no secret. Walmart drives down wages at other retailers and pays such low wages that its workers are forced to rely on government assistance to get by. But, Walmart's supporters say, at least it creates jobs, and crappy jobs are better than no jobs. Except that Walmart doesn't create jobs, it kills them. Numerous studies show this.
The largest, most rigorous study conducted on the subject is a peer-reviewed article from 2008, authored by David Neumark, an economist who is no wild-eyed liberal. (See, for example, his anti-minimum wage op-ed he wrote for the Wall Street Journal).
Using data from over 3,000 counties, the study's results show that when a Walmart store opens, it kills an average 150 retail jobs at the county level, with each Walmart worker replacing about 1.4 retail workers. These results are robust under a variety of models and tests.
Other strong studies found similar results. For example, a 2008 peer-reviewed study that looked at Maryland concluded that Walmart's presence significantly decreased retail employment by 414 jobs.
So Walmart is causing pain across the board -- lower wages, job loss, more need for government assistance for working people.
Nevertheless, there are still those who claim that Walmart's heirs show great personal responsibility in that each has his or her piggy bank with approximately $160 billion. One zealous Walmart advocate states: "There is nothing wrong with people like the Waltons attempting to improve themselves, even if it comes at the expense of others. Because what are 400 lost jobs in a neighborhood when the Waltons are merely acting on their own personal responsibility to accumulate all the wealth in the world?"
Walmart's supporters are also dead set against workers being able to organize. "If we let them organize," stated one supporter, "next thing we know they'll expect to be earning more in 2017 than they earned in 2008! What kind of a world would THAT be? We won't be able to hear ourselves on account of the ROAR of these workers."

It seems to me that many residents of Pleasanton don't care if American employees make little to no money. The reason is that if you have little education, few marketable skills, you deserve nothing more than a few bucks a month. If you can't live on that, tough luck!
All you have to do is read the arguments re: the current Union/BART conflict.
tee hee hee...BUSTED!

The Sounders need more than just stars to align to advance to the next round of playoffs tomorrow night at the XBox Pitch. They need breaks, plural.
Still, it can be done. Stranger things have happened. You can be doubtful all you want. I'm doubtful. We'll probably lose. But if you happened to watch either last January's Seahawks-Saints playoff game, the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the NBA Finals in June, or any baseball at all in October, you know that as sidereal wrote yesterday, it's Mission Improbable, not Mission Impossible.
So, if our boys in rave green are going to win tomorrow evening, it's going to have to go down like this, maybe exactly like this:
Center back Nat Borchers sits out with a bum knee, while Jamison Olave, bad quad and all, starts in his usual position, meaning to anchor the defense. Seattle capitalizes swiftly. At the 14' mark, Olave gets beat by Fucito at the edge of the box and tackles the Sounder from behind, cleats up, right as Mike was arming his wide-open shot.
Justice is served, and Olave is sent off. Fredy Montero curls the resulting free kick just inside the post, and Seattle leads 1-0.
Down a man, RSL settles into an even more defensive posture, and manages an even more physical brand of soccer than last Saturday at Rio Tinto. The game reaches new heights (lows) in sloppiness. Every Seattle foul sends the opponent into writhing agony, burning valuable seconds off the clock. The slightest contact, or no contact at all, sends players to the turf, limbs splayed. Every Seattle cross into the box is met with seven or more RSL defenders. Hasty clearances abound.
The Sounders control possession for 35 of the first 45 minutes, earning ten corners during that time, and approximately seven billion throw-ins. RSL's formation resembles a 6-2-1. But even that might be generous in terms of midfielders.
Borchers is visibily less than 100 percent -- he's frustrated by his discomfort, plus the yellow he earned for delay of game at 25', and Fredy's antics (Montero is booked for diving in the 40th minute) are really getting on his nerves. After a bad clearance from teammate Rauwshan McKenzie, the RSL center back makes a mental mistake and trips Neagle inside the box during first-half stoppage time.
Ozzie converts to make it 2-0 at the break.
Energized by hope and a raucous crowd that senses history in the making, the Sounders attack without abandon to begin the second half. (There is no tomorrow, after all.) Fucito sends a bullet off the crossbar at the 52' mark; Brad Evans heads one just wide in the 53rd.
Predictably, RSL gets its best opportunity on a counter.
Caught one-on-one against Seattle nemesis Alvario Saborio, Keller makes the save of the season, using his left toe to flick away the striker's shot, at the very last fraction of a second, and this after Saborio had already faked left, then driven right, seemingly around the keeper and toward an open net. Sixty-five minutes have been played. That would be RSL's best chance in regulation.
Pulling out all the stops, Sigi inserts Mauro Rosales for Erik Friberg in the 72nd minute. It takes all of eight minutes for the Argentine to make his impact felt. After executing a brilliant give-and-go with Montero on the right wing, Rosales races down the sideline, fakes McKenzie to the turf, dribbles into the box, draws keeper Nick Rimando away from his line, and that's exactly when Mauro lifts a perfect cross to an unmarked Lamar Neagle at the far post, who casually heads it in for the equalizer. Bedlam.
A couple of unthreatening corner kicks and muffed chances later, we head to overtime.
Not two minutes have passed in the extra period when Saborio breaks free again. El Presidente has no choice but to pull him down from behind. Hurtado probably saves a goal, but the sides are now even at 10 apiece. Nothing comes from the free kick.
With the season reduced to fewer than thirty minutes, caution sets in. Chances make themselves more rare.
112'. Ochoa, who'd replaced Fucito to begin overtime, is whistled offside on a breakaway. Not hearing the whistle, he plays on, scores a goal that does not count, and is accosted by RSL defender Robbie Russell. The two had exchanged less-than-friendly elbows only a minute earlier. Ochoa bumps Russell with his shoulder on his way back to midfield, and Russell pushes back, only his forearm catches Sammy's chin, bloodying his mouth.
Trainers come on; Russell is booked. Ochoa heads to the sideline to stop the bleeding. He points at Russell on his way over there. The assistant referee deems this unsportsmanlike, and Ochoa gets served a yellow too, for good measure. Sensing an opportunity, the wily veteran Rosales jaws with RSL defenders while the head ref puts the ball back in play, and the Sounders restart quickly. A distracted defense lets Montero slide in behind them, and this time, there is no flag from the sideline as Fredy easily beats Rimando.
With 37,000 semi-hoarse fans cheering them on, the Sounders hold on for the final ten minutes, which feel like a week.
Seattle Sounders 4, Real Salt Lake 0.
If breaks align.

Family Safety Tip: When Kids get a Fever at Midnight
January 10, 2011 by WGTS 91.9
Filed under Family Safety Tip, Morning Show
It never fails. You have an early meeting in the morning, and at 2am the night before your child spikes a fever of 101. You're delirious…they are screaming…what do you do? Experts say it's a good idea to develop a Midnight Plan for when kids get sick so when it happens (because it will) you know what to do even though you may not be thinking clearly because of exhaustion.
Midnight Survival Plan
Why fevers are worse at night: Body temperature rises naturally in the evening, so a fever that was slight during the day can easily spike during sleep.
What to do: First, take your child's temperature (do it rectally if she's less than 6 months old — and, ideally, for as long as she'll allow this method). Any fever above 100.4 F in an infant under 3 months warrants an immediate call to the doctor. Same goes for an elevated temp in any child that's accompanied by lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, stiff neck or an unusual rash.
Otherwise, try a dose of acetaminophen, wait a half hour and check the temperature again, says Leeds. "If it hasn't begun to come down and she's older than a year, give your child some ibuprofen, too," she adds. "You can use these medications together, separated by half an hour. Just remember that acetaminophen can be given every four hours, and ibuprofen can be given every six to eight hours." (Write down the time of each dose to help you keep track.) In the meantime — and if you're not too delirious — you can give your child a room-temperature bath to help cool her down.
And definitely help her stay hydrated by offering some water (or formula or breast milk if she's a baby) before she goes back to sleep. Call the doctor in the morning to check in; she may want you to bring your child in.

SAN DIEGO—Work began Wednesday on a $1 billion expansion of San Diego International Airport's Terminal 2.
The project, dubbed "The Green Build'' for its environmentally sustainable building practices, will include 10 more gates, a dual-level arrival and departure roadway and new dining and shopping areas.
San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
It will not include a controversial parking garage that had been previously proposed, according to Shipley.
Work is expected to be completed in late 2012, she said.
According to Shipley, the project will be financed through revenue generated at the airport and grants from the Federal Aviation Administration, not local taxpayer dollars.
Mayor Jerry Sanders joined officials from the Airport Authority at the construction site west of Terminal 2 this morning to mark the start of construction with a ceremonial groundbreaking.

FOOTBALL: Didcot defender breaks leg
11:00am Thursday 15th November 2012 in Sport
Didcot Town defender Lee Henderson's season looks to be over after a double leg fracture in the 2-1 defeat at home to Swindon Supermarine.
The centre back suffered the break just above his right ankle an hour into their Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West game after a challenge with Swindon's Sam Morris.
He was taken to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital, but did not require an operation.
The injured limb was put in plaster before he was allowed home.
Didcot press officer Steve Clare said: "It happened right in front of me.
"They both went in for the ball in a challenge. Lee tried to play on, but he was hobbling around. "It's a real shame because his partnership with Gareth Thomas at centre back has been instrumental in our success in the cup competitions this season."

Today's weather forecast: A Brief Respite
Just one month before the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the California's same-sex marriage ban, President Obama is expected to formally express support for marriage equality. Today is the deadline to file a "friend of the court" brief against Proposition 8, the 2008 initiative that defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. News outlets are reporting that the Obama administration will file a brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn the proposition.
When Californians narrowly voted in favor of the initiative four years ago, the public was evenly divided on the issue; the proposition passed with 52.2 percent of the vote and 51 percent of Americans supported gay marriage. Today, that figure is 61 percent, according to a February Field poll. This wouldn't be the first time Obama voiced support for same-sex marriage. In his inaugural address, the President referenced the LBGT community's fight for rights equality. "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law," he said, "for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."Earlier this month, the Obama administration also filed a brief against the Defense of Marriage act, declaring it unconstitutional. The Supreme Court will hear the Prop. 8 case beginning March 26.

In other news, UTEP Center Derrick Caracter has declared himself elidgible for the NBA Draft. It is truely sad what kind of advice this kid is getting from sources. Or he might just be that plain stupid and thinks someone will actually draft him(which is possible). Ill give it to him, he had a decent year for UTEP, but Im sorry the competition they play is nowhere near what he will see in the NBA.
So I ask you all this, Do you think Derrick Caracter will be drafted this year?

I have been a Blazers fan my entire 26 years and can't remember the last time I missed a game. I'm from the Portland area but I live and work in Mexico currently. Thanks to NBA League Pass Broadband International I never have to miss a game, even those that are blacked out in the U.S. as those restrictions don't apply here (even though some of them do air here as well on national TV).
Apparently I'm part of the minority contingent who was able to watch tonight's game in its entirety. The League Pass feed was that of the Lakers local broadcast. It both confounds and frustrates me to think that if I'd actually been in PORTLAND I wouldn't have been able to watch the game on TV from the opening tip.
Is it just me or is the system seriously flawed when a guy in Monterrey, Mexico (and anywhere outside the U.S. for that matter) can watch a Blazer game from beginning to end on a perfectly legal NBA-sanctioned stream when people in Portland have to wait until the 3rd quarter to see it on TV???

Outside of the United States, going to another country for medical care can lead to survival and recovery for patients otherwise facing certain death or long waits for treatment at home. Nigeria has no oncological care to speak of, so cancer-stricken citizens are increasingly going abroad for modern care. Battle-wounded Syrians are getting life-saving surgeries in Turkish hospitals. Canadians come to the U.S. to avoid average wait times of four months for non-emergency procedures.
If the double whammy of Obamacare, which will be fully up and running in 2014, and a rapidly aging population creates pronounced health-care shortages, more and more Americans may soon start looking abroad for fast, affordable, and effective treatments for all sorts of medical problems.
The global health-care industry is booming, which is creating new opportunities for medical travelers to purchase everything from discount dental work to state-of-the-art heart surgery. The international accreditation agency known as Joint Commission International evaluates the quality of hospitals around the world. It has given its stamp of approval to 546 hospitals worldwide and the list is growing faster than ever.
Foreign governments and hospitals are staking big dollars on promotion and infrastructure in an effort to burnish their reputations as medical destinations. That enthusiasm was on display last October at a medical tourism industry conference in Miami, which drew participants from 90 countries. Turkey, which paid close to $100,000 in exchange for prominent branding at the conference, drew 500,000 foreign patients in 2011. Medical tourists brought the country $3.5 billion in revenue in 2011, according to the head of the Turkish Healthcare Travel Council, Emin Çakmak.

Enough with all the tweets from the men's team and predictions of doom after the Marquette loss. Today let's focus on a feel-good story from the Hilltop, your LADY HOYAS:
[The Hoyas] now have vaulted into the national rankings for the first time since the end of the 1992-93 season. The Hoyas (12-2, 1-0 Big East) are ranked No. 25 in this week's USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll and have been receiving votes in the Associated Press poll the past four weeks.
It gets better. They're on an 11-game winning streak, lead Division I in steals and, oh this is the kicker, rank second in turnover margin. Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy come give the men's team a clinic!
Your Lady Hoyas next play Saturday at 7pm at South Florida; tipoff pretty much the exact moment CasualHoya slips into an alcohol induced coma following losses by the Man Hoyas and the J-E-T-S.

With Record Snowfall And Tech Approval, Whistler Blackcomb And VANOC Are Games Ready (28-Jan-10)
Whistler, Canada, January 28, 2009 - With the backdrop of a record snowfall
With the backdrop of a record snowfall and the blessing of international ski officials, the finishing touches are being applied over the next 16 days to the Olympic alpine ski racing venue. Whistler Blackcomb, host venue for the men's and women's alpine skiing competitions, and consistently rated as one of the top ski and snowboard resorts in the world, is Games-ready -- with an unprecedented 9.9 metres (32 feet) of snow. The first alpine athletes start their training on designated training runs on February 5 and on the Olympic courses on February 10. The first alpine competition is the Men's Downhill on February 13, the first day of Games competition.
"International Olympic Committee delegates recently skied the course and were very pleased with the results," says Tim Gayda, Vice President of Sport, VANOC. "From the beginning of the season, VANOC and Whistler Blackcomb crews have worked hard together to prepare the courses to create a very dense base of snow that involved a massive snowmaking effort. Add to that the incredible amount of natural snow that has fallen in Whistler this season, and we're now ready to deliver an Olympic-class alpine skiing venue that will live up to the reputation that the renowned Dave Murray Downhill course holds the world over. We look forward to debuting the spectacular new woman's course on Franz's Run. VANOC has now taken over the Men's and Women's courses entirely from Whistler Blackcomb ski operations and we're in to the home stretch on our final preparations."
Deep snow at Whistler Blackcomb is not unusual, but reaching the average annual snowfall (10.13 metres/ 33 feet) this early is truly unique. Since snow reporting began in the 1979/80 season, this is the first time that Whistler Blackcomb has received this much snow by the end of January. The prior record was set in 2006/07 when 945 centimetres or 31 feet of snow fell by January 31.
"There is a huge sense of anticipation and excitement throughout the resort right now as we prepare with VANOC to open our doors to the world," says Dave Brownlie, President and Chief Operating Officer of Whistler Blackcomb. "Whistler Blackcomb is looking its best and the snow conditions on the mountains are outstanding. The FIS course inspectors provided great feedback last week, and the men's and women's courses, primed to host Olympic champions, are now fully in the hands of VANOC."
Whistler Blackcomb remains 90 per cent open throughout the Games with base access via the Whistler Village Gondola, Fitzsimmons Express, Excalibur Gondola and Wizard Express. Although the Creekside Gondola will be closed February 1 to March 1, a ski-out will remain available via Peak to Creek. For those who don't have tickets to Creekside Olympic alpine events, mountain guests can watch some of the Olympic skiing action via course-side viewing pods, free with a lift ticket. Full information is available online at www.whistlerblackcomb.com/Olympics.

Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, the commander in chief of the first Gulf War in 1991, has died from pneumonia.
The general's sister, Ruth Barenbaum, lives in East Middlebury. She was the focus of a WCAX News Super Senior segment in September. Barenbaum said it was a blessing because he has been ill for awhile.
She said the Gulf War was the first time a war was seen live on TV and Schwarzkopf was a comfort for the entire nation.
Schwarzkopf lived in Tampa, Fla. He was 78.
