Yeah, yeah, I don't care about prospects. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't! :) BoC-relevant excerpts: "With all five conferences in division 1 college hockey hosting their conference tournaments this weekend, here's an NHL team-by-team guide to where fans can catch their favorite team's prospects in action. Find the games on TV with the help of our National TV Schedule. Anaheim Kevin Lind (Notre Dame) Justin Vaive (Miami) Chris Wagner (Colgate) Radoslav Illo (Bemidji State) The Ducks have four players in action this weekend. Two of them will face each other in the semifinals of the CCHA Tournament. Kevin Lind, a freshman defenseman for Notre Dame will be going up against Justin Vaive, a senior forward at Miami. Vaive has been a nice role player for the Redhawks in his final season, playing in 36 games and posting 9 goals and 7 assists for one of the best offensive teams in the country. Also in action will be Chris Wagner of Colgate, who has scored 9 goals and 10 assists as a freshman for the Raiders and Radoslav Illo, another freshman who has chipped in with three goals this season for Bemidji State. Los Angeles Derek Forbort (North Dakota) Kings fans can check out North Dakota freshman defenseman Derek Forbort, who has played in 33 games this season and picked up 15 assists for the Sioux. San Jose William Wrenn (Denver) Drew Daniels (Northeastern) Justin Daniels (Northeastern) Cody Ferriero (Northeastern) Issac MacLeod (Boston College) Lee Moffie (Michigan) When the Northeastern Huskies look to pull the upset of Boston College in the Hockey East semifinals this Friday, they will have three Sharks prospects in their lineup as brothers Justin and Drew Daniels and freshman Cody Ferriero have all been selected by San Jose. Drew is finally getting comfortable in his new position as he made the switch from forward to defenseman this season, while Ferriero has contributed three goals in his last six games, helping the Huskies knock off Boston University in the quarterfinals." Go college.
As you may know, I am a terrible fan when it comes to tracking NHL prospects -- blame television, which focuses my attention to big-league ice only. But not so with our pal Arthur from AC -- based on my urging (well, I forwarded an e-mail) he's put together an offseason look at 20 potential future Ducks and listed them according to their NHL likeliness. As always with scouting and projecting, there's always going to some debates and nobody knows anything for sure, but I'll tell you this much -- it's a better scouting package than you'll ever get from me. Nicely done, Arthur. Go Ducks.

Tutorial covering JSP 2.2 and Servlets 3.0 with OpenSource Resin Servlet Container: Part 1
If you are new to Java and the above seems foreign to you, I suggest you read up on Java a bit Official Java tutorial. Read the first three trails (Getting Started, Learning the Java Language and Essential Java Classes), and then skip ahead to Java Beans. Skimming is ok. If you have programmed before, most things you will pick up on your own.
Reminder: The methods public String getId() and public void setId(String id) would define a property called id.
This first step in this tutorial is not going to actually talk to a database or use JDBC. For now, we are just going to use the collection API to create a Repository object (some people call this a DAO -- data access object). The Repository object encapsulates how an object gets persisted, queried and updated (CRUD operations).
We know we are going to later use JDBC/RDBMS (MySQL), JTA/RDBMS, JCache, MongoDB, etc. instead of the collection API so let's define an interface so we can swap these in quickly as we get to these tutorials. The interface will define the contract with our Repository object that we can later swap out with other implementations.
Eclipse: Right Click "Java Resources" in Project Explorer -> New -> Interface -> Package = com.bookstore -> Class Name = Book -> Click Finish. (That is the last time I will tell you how to create an interface in Eclipse.)
BookRepository interface
package com.bookstore; import java.util.List; public interface BookRepository { Book lookupBookById(String id); void addBook(String title, String description, String price, String pubDate); void updateBook(String id, String title, String description, String price, String pubDate); void removeBook(String id); List<Book> listBooks(); }

This is a good article but it could be made much, much better by providing two items
1. Code download
2. PDF version that a reader can save to read later or to refer to when needed. It is very tedious to click through 15 web pages where on each page the ads and other crap overwhelm the important content.

Thank you very much for the PDF version.
For the code you could use Eclipse - Export as archived projected which creates a zip of your project. Other Eclipse users can then import the project directly from the zip. Non-Eclipse users can unzip the project and view the files also.
Henk De Boer replied on Fri, 2012/10/26 - 12:11pm
It's thorough and explains things well, but it's a somewhat confusing setup.
The material being explained; Servlets, JSP and then Scriptlets vs JSTL feels like it comes straight from the early 2000s, but then we do see relative modern annotations on the Servlets and even the use of CDI.
Bill Digman replied on Thu, 2012/11/01 - 11:38am in response to: Henk De Boer
Bill Digman replied on Thu, 2012/11/01 - 11:39am
Stay tuned. I have a lot more to say. I think Java EE is more of a cafeteria plan than a one size fits all. You can use Servlets, CDI and JSP for model 2 apps. JAX-RS for RIA clients. Websockets, JCache, etc. Most tutorials wrt Java EE seem to really push JSF and EJB. If you tie Java EE to JSF and EJB and I think it turns a lot of folks off. Java EE is more than this.

Question: I know I'm not crazy. Back in the '70s, Larry Storch (and, I believe, his old cohort Forrest Tucker) were in a Saturday-morning kid-oriented show that had something to do with outer space. I want to say it ran opposite Bob Denver's Far Out Space Nuts. It would have been around the time of Sid and Marty Krofft's dominance of Saturday-morning programming. Please tell me I haven't completely lost my mind.
Answer: Not in this regard you haven't, David. You're thinking of The Ghost Busters, which ran on CBS for a year beginning in September 1975. On it, Storch and Tucker, best known for their F Troop days together, played a couple of ghost hunters who were teamed with a gorilla named Tracy.

Well, you certainly can't say nothing happened this week, huh? Caesar, in Egypt, has to deal with boy-king Ptolemy, Cleopatra's brother.

Of course he can, and how bad do we want to see him give that annoying little gnat a good slap, kick or series of both? But we get something better — a brilliantly done fight scene when Lucius and Pullo are sent to rescue Cleo from the assassins her little brother hired, followed by a hilarious sex scene and its aftermath when she demands Lucius sleep with her, and he sends Pullo in to do the deed. And it doesn't slow down from there. She manages to look amazing when dumped out of a piece of burlap and onto the floor. And it's clear that Caesar, and

What's Best for Your Breasts? Try Eating Less and Moving More.
Last year, 40 thousand women lost their lives to breast cancer. Two hundred thousand more were diagnosed with the dreaded disease. Despite all the best efforts of medical scientists and researchers – those numbers continue to climb.
That's the bad news. Now this. Up to a third of breast cancer cases in the U.S. could be avoided if women ate less and exercised more. I know. You've heard it all before. Those holistic, new-age, wacko health nuts have been prattling on about diet and exercise for decades. Well, guess what gals? The medical community now agrees. The "health nuts" are right!
While better treatments, early diagnosis and mammogram screenings have dramatically slowed the progression of breast cancer, experts worldwide say the focus should now shift to changing behaviors such as diet and physical activity.
According to the World Health Organization, 25 to 30 percent of breast cancer cases could be avoided if women were thinner and exercised more. At a recent international conference on breast cancer, Dr. Carlo La Vecchia, head of epidemiology at the University of Milan said, "What can be achieved with screening has been achieved. We can't do much more. It's time to get on to other things."
Those "other things" include moving more and eating less. It's that simple. No magic bullets. No miracle pills.
Eating less also means eating smart. Choose foods in their whole form as often as possible. Whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meats and fish. (Come on. You know this!) Avoid the stuff that's still edible after years in your pantry. And take it easy on the booze and junk food – special occasions only!
If you need another reason to lean down, how about this? Obsese women are up to 60 percent more likely to develop ANY cancer than normal weight women. No one's passing judgment here … just the facts.
And then ladies, it's time to move! Our high tech world, while certainly making our lives easier, is also robbing us of our need to move. These days we have to intentionally, purposefully move or we're going to die young. It's that simple.
So run, walk, ride a bike or swim. Take a Pilates, spin, stretching or strength class. Park at the far end of the lot. Take the stairs. At work, deliver that e-mail message in person! Every step counts. Every food choice makes a difference.
There's enough in life you can't control. When it comes to breast cancer, take charge … because that "magic bullet" may just be YOU!

Internet client bid baits Tampa officialsJohn Stebbins
August 18, 1995
Tampa Tribune
SOMEWHERE ON THE INTERNET - Tampa officials say they have found themselves cruising along the information superhighway not in a snazzy Ferrari or posh Rolls Royce, but something more akin to a go-cart.
And that has them looking for a vehicle more suited to carrying The Big Guava's charms to the millions of people who use computers to gather information.
The discovery was made when city planning Director Roger Wehling was exploring the World Wide Web - a popular way to access thousands of computers linked by the Internet.
For the heck of it, Wehling plugged in the name Tampa and up popped something called CityLink, which listed Tampa and a handful of other Florida cities. But when he accessed the Tampa link, he said the information that appeared was skeletal at best and the design of the electronic pages was disappointing.
You get what you pay for, said Carol Blake of Blake & Bray Inc, in Mandeville, La. She said her company put the Tampa site on the Internet free of charge about a year ago after getting information from the local convention and tourism bureau.
Wehling said he called Blake's company and told them he was not impressed. He noted that of the six things to see in Tampa, one - a Christmas House - was near Ocala, and another attraction was a television talk show. Each item had a one-sentence description.
Blake said her company put Tampa and other cities on, the World Wide Web as a "community service project" and would be glad to upgrade the present site - for a price.
She said Tampa officials can have a "really cool" home page on the Internet for about $975 a year. Each additional page is about $500.
Tampa City Administrator Sam Halter, an Internet buff himself, said the city is investigating the possibility of establishing a more elaborate web site for the city.
A search of the Internet found other companies also had established Tampa-related sites, some more elaborate than CityLink.
Bill Frezza, an Internet observer and president of Wireless Computing Associates, said the Internet has spawned thousands of entrepreneurial companies looking to turn a profit from the public's growing interest in computers.
"Casting a wide net hoping to find a chamber of commerce or city as a customer is a great idea," Frezza said. "Is it a come-on? Sure it is. That is how American business works."

Did anyone see the game between Spain and the US?
The possible #1 pick, Ricky Rubio, plays for Spain, and I was just wondering what StR's opinion was of his play? If the wheels really fall off the wagon next year (or we just get plain lucky like Chicago, we could be in a position to draft him).
I felt he played as well as anyone on his team, which is a good sign because he's only 17, but I wasn't exactly overwhelmed. On the positive side, he displayed his advanced playmaking abilities with two clever ally-oops and a couple of nice pick and roll passes, and his ballhawking abilities were apparent when he was able to come up with a few steals against the very best the NBA has to offer.
On the negative side, he doesn't look as if he will break his man down on the dribble at the next level, and his outside shot isn't bad but it isn't a strength either(and it will need to be great in order to succeed in the NBA without a lot of athleticism). Bottom line, I wouldn't be against drafting him based on what I saw, but I don't think he is going to be a difference maker (certainly not right away). If he could develop a really accurate jumper, I think down the line he could be special. Again, though, he will only be 18 in October, so I don't want to be too hard on the kid.

Books at Bedtime: Poetry Friday – The Ring of Words
A couple of weeks ago I blogged about our Library Summer Reading Challenge – well, during this week's library visit I discovered a poetry anthology edited by much loved British poet Roger McGough and illustrated by Satoshi Kitamura: The Ring of Words (Faber and Faber, 1998). It is wonderful! My children have been a fan of Roger McGough before they even realised it because he was the narrator for the beautifully produced video of animated Eric Carle stories – now we are enjoying some of his own poems set among this very eclectic collection.
The title comes from a short, thought-provoking poem by Robert Louis Stevenson:
Bright is the ring of words
When the right man rings them,
Fair the fall of songs
When the singer sings them.
Still they are carolled and said -
On wings they are carried -
After the singer is dead and the maker buried.
Set both at the beginning and the end of the anthology, this poem brings the book full circle and each time I read it I feel I am peeling off another layer of meaning – perhaps also because of the other poems in the anthology we've read together in the meantime. McGough has indeed been the right person to ring this ring of words – there are poems about everything under the sun, from echoes to ghosts to a cat spinning in a washing machine – all apparently very disparate but all in harmony with each other in creating delightful surprises with words – like Thomas Hood's "No", so readable and "modern", yet Hood lived from 1789-1845! McGough, however, doesn't give any extraneous information beyond the actual poem apart from the name of the poet – so in a sense it is the perfect introduction for enquiring minds to delve into poetry.
Kitamura's black and white illustrations shift their style subtly to the poetry – and sometimes add an extra layer of meaning – so for example, June Crebbin's shape poem "Kite" about a kite getting stuck in a tree is stuck in a tree! It is no surprise when you look deeper into the illustrations to learn that Kitamura won the UK's prestigious National Art Library Illustration Award for The Ring of Words in 1999.
And so we return to the ring of words and Naoshi Koriyama's beautiful poem "Unfolding Bud": yes, you do need to allow poetry the time to unfold -
"Revealing its rich inner self, As one reads it
And over Again."
And I can see that we will either be hogging this book from the library for a while or we'll have to go out and get our own copy…
This week's Poetry Friday is hosted by The Well Read Child – and as always there's plenty on offer…

It may cost stripes more money but it would not cause inconveniences to customers. To avoid such problems in the future I'll take my business elsewhere. I'm am going to have issues explaining to my college professors I couldn't make it to class because stripes gas pumps were down!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - He famously fired a gun in a TV ad while boasting of an endorsement from the National Rifle Association. But U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin can no longer rely on the backing of that powerful lobby. The West Virginia Democrat faced off against the NRA during last week's debate over his background check proposal. The confrontation marked his second break with a major support group since his rise from the governor's office to Capitol Hill. West Virginians for Life renounced its longtime favorite in 2011, over his Senate votes on health care issues. The anti-abortion group campaigned actively against Manchin in 2012, but he still won a full term convincingly. Manchin says he remains an NRA member and opposed to abortion. He's urging voters to read his gun proposal.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

September is Hunger Action Month. Side by side with hunger relief agencies across the country, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank is urging the public to respond to the issue of hunger in a very personal way.
As a member of Feeding America, the national network of food banks, we know that hunger affects communities across the United States. In Rhode Island, our network of emergency food programs now feeds more than 68,000 people every month. One in three is a child under the age of 18.
We need everyone's help if we are to continue distributing nearly 10 million pounds of food each year. Here are just a few ideas:
In honor of Hunger Action Month, we created "One Kid Can! Helping the Hungry: A Toolkit for Kids and Young Adults."
This 20-page booklet provides ideas, tools and information to help children of all ages make a difference in the lives of those who are having a hard time getting enough healthy food for their families.
The Food Bank regularly hears from young people who want to make a difference in the lives of Rhode Islanders who are struggling to put food on the table. We've been amazed at the creative and thoughtful ideas they've put into motion.
We've also heard from many parents and educators that they'd like to get their kids and students involved in helping others.
Download the kit as a pdf here or, if you prefer to download it as a Word file, click here for the Word file. For more information about the One Kid Can Toolkit, contact Cindy Elder at 401-230-1674 or email@example.com.
The Food Bank will also distribute free copies of the booklet at several farmers' markets during September. Look for our table at the following locations:
Thanks for doing your part to help hungry Rhode Islanders!

Orford six-year-old runs to raise money for the unit that saved his life
9:00am Thursday 10th July 2014 in News
MEET the Orford youngster defying doctors after taking on his first mini marathon despite his mum being told he would never be an athlete.
Proud parent Charlotte Sutcliffe said it was an emotional day when Taylor crossed the finish line after being born prematurely and spending the first three months of his life on the neonatal ward at Warrington Hospital.
The courageous Beamont Primary School pupil took on the 2k challenge to raise cash for the department that saved his life ahead of his sixth birthday on Saturday.
Mum Charlotte, aged 26, said: "I went into labour just under 27 weeks and doctors didn't know if he would survive.
"It was so hard as I couldn't hold him for a couple of weeks and could only look at him and he stopped breathing a number of times which was really scary.
"But after only having a 50:50 chance of surviving, he's now our little miracle.
"He should have been in the year below because he was born three months early but he's been doing so well and is so clever and cares so much for people."
Taylor said he wanted to 'raise money for the other poorly babies' initially with the fundraising target of £200 but was delighted to smash that figure and in total raise £567 so far.
The youngster had to be ventilated when he was first born leading to doctors warning it could have damaged his lungs but Charlotte, who is also mum to Bobby, who was born prematurely at 33 weeks but is now two-and-a-half, and Imogen, aged one-and-a-half, said that did not stop him during the race.
She added: "They said he wouldn't be an athlete and he would get out of breath more than others but he did the race without stopping which was brilliant to prove he could do it.
"We wanted to raise money to say thanks but it will never be enough.
"Bobby and Taylor might not have been here without the neonatal unit and I can't thank them enough for their support."

Hey there everyone.
I have a N97 mini and everything was OK until i realised something wrong with the keyboard characters. Normally i use the menu languages in Turkish and Keyboard input language in English to avoid special character problems online. The keyboard layout is in QWERTY english too. But regardless of the input language (I tried it in English too), the upper characters in the letters j k l z x c v b n m work as Turkish special characters making be unable to write ( ) % & etc. with the keyboard and i have to use the"sym" button everytime. Is there any way of fixing this ?

...or is it 'ville?...'burgh, perhaps? I digress. Anywho, as I have for the past 4 years, I purchased this year's NCAA Football for the PS3. I am wondering if, as a further measure of punishment apart from the sanctions, maybe---juuuuust maybe, they made this year's Penn State in-game team intentionally awful. I cannot count how many times I have thrown to wide open receivers only to have the ball bounce off their hands, hit them in the helmet, or have them inexplicably turn in the opposite direction only to have the ball hit them in the back. It could be very well due to my sub-par skills, but never has it been this bad...at least I could post winning records in past iterations of the game. Could it be that the overlords of the NCAA want to make sure that Penn State cannot play in a bowl game at ALL, including in videogame pixel form? Has anyone else encountered this? Anyone at all?

I haven't ranted in a while, and this isn't a rant, but more of a cautionary tale. I go to various shows where people sell their wares, they range from little local bazaars to big industry shows and there are things that some vendors do that really stick in my craw.
Now, you'd think that in the top five would be lack of crochet or supplies, but it's actually not, well unless "Crochet" is part of the show name, then it's in the #1 slot.
But here are five things that if you have a booth at a bazaar, farmers market, or a big time show that you need to think about:
1) Anti-social behavior: Chewing gum, talking or playing on a cell phone, reading a book, or talking to someone who obviously isn't buying and not acknowledging customers are all NO NO's.
This. Drives. Me. Nuts. It drives me nuts in a store, it drives me nuts in an airport, it drives me nuts in a box and with a fox…If you are selling your work you are PERFORMING. Put on a show, figure out what your show is, and get it sparkling! It's called being on your game.
2. Cluttered Displays
If you have a lot of stock, having it all hung up willy nilly (especially yarn type things) where it's easily mussed up by grabby hands, you look unprofessional. Go to a thrift store and get creative with display containers; crates, boxes, racks, coat racks, hangers, heads, feet, whatever you can find and use it. Also, make space for people in your booth, having too much stock can overwhelm customers as much as too little can turn them off. Keep your area neat.
3. Uninformed helpers
I know how hard it is to be a one person business, and it's hard to find good help. Believe me, I know. I fired my husband and son at one show. Yes, I fired them. They were not presenting the CLF the way I wanted and I fired them on the show floor quietly and told them to take a vacation. My daughter and I ran the booth from there, it was better to have one well informed staff member to trade off with so I could do important things like eat and use the bathroom, than to keep a full staff that didn't know diddly or follow the branding guidelines. (Jeff has forgiven me since.)
I have seen more sales go down the tubes because the staff didn't know anything about the product. Have a cheat sheet with prices, and a little product info if you have to, but don't lose sales because you have someone who just sits like a lump and says, "I don't know Suzy will be back soon."
4. No marketing materials right up front.
People, you at LEAST need business cards or post cards. You need a way to contact you, and find your website. If you're really with it, you should be adding to that mailing list. You can do coupons and discounts at shows you know!
5. No prices!!!!
The biggest bugbear of them all. No prices=you don't want to sell. Now that's silly isn't it, you just shelled out money on a table or booth space and then you don't have your items PRICED! You can have signs that say, "Everything on this rack X $" or 5 for $30 or some such thing if the idea of putting prices on everything overwhelms you.
People. Do. Not. Ask. How. Much. Things. Cost. Period.
These are very simple matters that are easily remedied. I've been working on several sales training webinars for micro-businesses, as well as materials to download. Very soon you will have professional and micro business resources here to help you iny our crafting business. I'm putting the same care and attention to detail into those reports as I used to when I trained the sales staffs of large corporations. Yes, that's part of CLF 3.0, bringing that kind of quality to the little guy.

From the Transportation Security Administration:
Officers with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) discovered a loaded gun at the security checkpoint Tuesday afternoon during routine screening of carry-on baggage.
The .38 caliber Smith & Wesson firearm was loaded with five rounds and detected in the carry-on bag of a male passenger ticketed for travel to Phoenix. The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority Police Department cited the passenger on a state charge.
This is the second firearm TSA has discovered this year in the carry-on bag of a passenger at RNO. Nationwide, since January 1, 2013, approximately 860 handguns have been found during routine screening of carry-ons at airports across the country.
Firearms, ammunition, firearm parts and realistic replicas of firearms are always prohibited in carry-on baggage. However, these items can be transported in checked baggage provided the traveler declares them to the airline during the ticket counter check-in process.
Firearms in checked baggage must be unloaded and stored in a locked, hard-sided container. TSA urges passengers to contact their airline for specific firearm and ammunition policies and to check local laws related to the carrying and transport of firearms.
In addition to facing local or state criminal charges, TSA reserves the right to levy a civil penalty of up to $7,500 for bringing a dangerous weapon like a firearm to the checkpoint. Each penalty is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
TSA reminds passengers to be aware of the contents of their carry-on bag prior to coming to the security checkpoint. TSA has multiple resources available to passengers to help them determine whether an item is permitted in carry-on baggage, checked baggage or not at all. For more information, visit www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items or use TSA's mobile app - myTSA.
The myTSA app allows a traveler to enter the name of an item and the app will provide information on how to transport that item on board an aircraft. You can download myTSA app on iTunes or Google Play. The same information can also be accessed via any web browser at www.tsa.gov/mobile.

Findings may lead to 'more understanding' of babies
New information on the behaviour of babies in the womb may lead to "more understanding" about how children adapt to social situations, regulate stimulation and take a bottle or breast when born.
The study, published in the journal Developmental Psychobiology, found babies in the later stages of pregnancy are capable of touching their lower face and mouth, indicating healthy brain function.
– Brian Francis, professor of social statistics at Lancaster University
This effect is likely to be evolutionally determined, preparing the child for life outside the womb.
Building on these findings, future research could lead to more understanding about how the child is prepared prenatally for life, including their ability to engage with their social environment, regulate stimulation and being ready to take a breast or bottle.

We have a sad update about Jack the Cat — the feline that went missing from an American Airlines flight in August.
Jack has died.
After the organge tabby disappeared at JFK Airport in New York, thousands of supporters took to Facebook, urging the Fort Worth-based airline to do more to find him.
Jack was found October 25, hiding out in the customs room at JFK. His wounds were so severe and his skin was in such poor condition from malnutrition that vets recommended putting him down on Sunday night.
"We thank everyone who has gone on this journey with us," Jack's owners said on the cat's Facebook page. "We want people to understand the risks that attend putting an animal in cargo, and we hope to spur change in the industry so that no one else ever has to go through this again."

CATEGORIES New Releases, Distribution, DIY/Filmmaking, Movie Marketing, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalIf you've ever wanted to be a movie producer, your big chance could be right around the corner.
THR reports that indie French production company Europacorp will allow film fans to get in on the action in producing one of their upcoming projects. Weareproducteurs.com will allow Internet citizens to participate in all the stages of producing a film -- from choosing from a group of potential directors, to voting on the script, to even kicking in some of their own money toward the financing (lucky you!). If that weren't enough, everyone involved will be "working" alongside Luc Besson.
Besson, director of classic films like The Professional and La Femme Nikita and a well known producer, says he hopes the project will be an educational one when it comes to combating Internet piracy. "Because of piracy issues, we as producers have this image of being the 'bad guys' among Internet users. It's time to revive the dialogue between us." He added, "It's our way of telling web users: Don't wage war with us. Learn how to make a movie with us, and then you'll understand what's at stake when you illegally download films."
The cynic in me thinks the piracy education goal is a sham -- and that the real purpose of this exercise is to convince people to donate money toward the production of a film by creating the illusion that they're part of the process. Anyone who really believes they're a "producer" for voting on script choices and having their name in the end credits (something offered as an incentive to the first 10,000 donors) is only tenuously connected with reality.
Besson's even hired a "panel of experts" composed of various film people who will help "guide" voters on their choices and offer feedback on where the project is headed. Or, in other words, to help ensure Besson gets the film he wants.
So, what do you think? Sound like a cool idea or an unconventional way to raise money for a project? Would you actually contribute a few dollars just to see your name in tiny print on a theater screen? Sound off below.

Kris Tapley and I get serious about what's going to happen in the next month. Avatar will gain momentum, we think, while Nine and Invictus could lose it. Which films will make it to the final top ten? We agree on the obvious front-runners. But what could sneak in? Quentin Tarantino likes Star Trek. Kris likes Crazy Heart and The Messenger. I like District 9. Could raucous comedy It's Complicated score some noms? We also slice and dice the best director category, and discuss our fave holiday films, revealing a considerable generational divide: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation vs. Meet Me in St. Louis.
Anonymous | December 19, 2009 2:27 AM
I think people will re-evaluate the best supporting actress category, making it more competitive, and Robert DeNiro might sneak into the best actor category. The "Up" films will go down (too much genre comedy, too glib) and the downer films will go up as voters get serious, like in "man." Some overly-hyped studio films might miss their flight, leaving that and other potential new positions open for films that don't play the "Jew not a Jew" game (hello Eli and Inlglorious Basterds on its pandering synegogue tour!). And the best of the war films will prevail. Glib is out. Serious is the new black. The new black is Anthony Mackie by the way, as best supporting actor. Out will go Tucci, whose husband role isn't big enough in Julie and Julia and Lovely Bones is dead on arrival also leaving Tucci at the sidelines for other more best picture worthy nominees. Avatar will live up to some, but not all of its praise, as ultimately voters won't pull the trigger for actors that have blue noses.

agree re: district 9. what i've seen is strongly character-driven, beautifully written, and transcends genre sci-fi

The Hilltop Campus Village in Davenport is an area that has been growing and evolving for the past three years, and Tuesday a special meeting and training session was held to help keep that momentum going.
People that are part of the Hilltop development group met with leaders from Main Street Iowa and others from surrounding communities. Main Street Iowa is a program that gives cities technical support to help leaders there revitalize struggling neighborhoods. The programs provides everything from architects to demographic surveys to training sessions.
The meeting focused on training volunteers so they can keep the progression in the Hilltop area going. It also helped raise awareness about everything the Hilltop Campus Village has accomplished. Currently there are new apartments and commercial spaces under construction in the area. Ascentra Credit Union also recently announced they are coming to the corner of Locust and Brady.
Reps from Eldridge, Burlington, and Central City were there to learn how a similar program could benefit their towns. Potential developers were also there. An open house was held after the meeting.

A 24-year-old Deer Park man was booked into the Spokane County Jail on a first-degree robbery charge stemming from the robbery he allegedly committed at the Deer Park Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy on Feb. 21.
Detectives interviewed Aaron Miller and he confessed to two additional robberies at the Medicine Shoppe that occurred on Dec. 5 and 30.
Miller displayed what appeared to be a weapon during the Dec. 5 robbery and demanded Oxycodone medication, according to detectives.
It was truly a team effort this time around as all nine Stags earned state medals, including two state titles, the biggest individual hardware haul in school history.
The effort also assured the Stags their fifth straight state Class 2A team title with a 154-134 decision over runner-up Centralia.
Deer Park trailed Centralia 32-23 after the first round. By the end of the first day, the Stags has closed the gap to 68-67.
"If we do our job we'll be OK," said Deer Park head coach Matt Jorgensen after the first day's results.
A preliminary April 16 court date has been set for a Deer Park man who was arrested on Feb. 6 in connection with the death of his ex-wife.
Clay Starbuck pled not guilty to the charge of aggravated first-degree murder of Chanin Starbuck in Spokane County Superior Court on Feb. 21.
Starbuck will remain in jail after Judge Annette Plese refused to lower his $1 million bond. His attorney, Derek Reid, had asked for a bail reduction based on Starbuck's family ties and no prior criminal convictions.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Feb. 22 at the Deer Park United Methodist Church, E113 Second St., for Deer Park resident Nanci J. De Nure, 73, who passed away with her family by her side on Feb. 16, 2012.
Born in Rock Island, Ill., on July 20, 1938, she and her husband, David, moved to Deer Park in 1984 and have called it home ever since.
She belonged to TOPS, Catster, and Facebook.
A celebration of life will be held in late spring for Carolyn S. Russell, 85, who passed away on Dec. 16 at her Horseshoe Lake home.
Born in Spokane to the late Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Stuart and reared in Oregon, she returned to Spokane to teach for a time and then to work as a producing artist at her home in southern Pend Oreille County. Overcoming chronic illness as a child and a lingering speech impediment, she enjoyed multiple careers and the friendship of family and friends with whom she shared artistic interests.
The Deer Park and Riverside School District officials will begin assessing what went wrong with their various levy requests last week.
Voters rejected Deer Park's three-year, $2 million annual maintenance and operations levy along with Riverside's $2.55 million educational programs and operations and $1.2 million facilities and technology capital projects levies.
Deer Park voters rejected the M&O levy 1,697-1,645. A simple majority is needed for passage.
An open house will held on Feb. 19 at the Sue Kelsch residence, W5011 Dahl Road, Deer Park, for Deer Park resident Helen I. Albrecht, 88, who passed away on Feb. 12.
Born in 1923 in Elk Grove, Calif., she graduated from Grant Union High School in Sacramento, Calif., and later served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
She is survived by her husband, Andrew B.; three children Peter (Sally), Sue and Christina (Craig); one brother, Harold Callaway; five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
Lauer Funeral Home, Deer Park, will be in charge of cremation arrangements.
A graveside funeral service was held on Feb. 13 at the Springdale Community Cemetery, with Rev. Sonny Clemmer officiating, for longtime Springdale resident Dorothy M. Hite, 79, who passed away on Feb. 8, 2012.
Born in 1932 at Streeter, N.D., to the late Jake and Edna Meyer, she grew up in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and then moved to Spokane where she met her husband, Dan, at the Busch Motorcycle Club. They were married on Aug. 29, 1959.
The Pullman Greyhounds survived a flurry of long range shooting by the Deer Park Lady Stags to win the opening round District VII tournament 51-49 on Tuesday.
The win propelled the Greyhounds (9-11) into the double-elimination portion of the tournament, while the Lady Stags ended their season at 11-10.
Trailing 49-38 with 2:14 to play, Deer Park closed the margin on 3-pointers from Danielle Beltrame, Tessa Heins and Alison Ruygrok but could not catch the Greyhounds.
Updated Feb. 16
The Deer Park School District officials received some good news following a second round of ballot counts for its $1.96 million annual replacement maintenance and operations levy
The gap between yes and no votes shrunk on Wednesday afternoon it is still is short of the 50 percent approval needed for passage.
The measure now trails 1,615-1,559.
Riverside's $3.27 million annual educational program was rejected 2,195-1,389 by voters as of Wednesday. The school district's $1.28 million capital projects levy trailed 2,431-1,186.

Never really like that people had Vaccarro slotted as the best safety in the draft because I always thought that Elam was the better of ther two I would've even taken Cyprien over him. But after seeing the ESPN Sports Science special on Kenny Vaccarro I feel comfortable with our St. Louis Rams selecting him in the 1st round. Still think Elam is better but from watching that special I believe that with the right coaching he can become a top tier Safety. He has crazy range, and his reaction ability was comparable to Patrick Petersons'.

Hundreds of eager college students attended a career fair Thursday in hopes of landing a job.
This year's Community Career Resource Fair kicked off at Moultrie Technical College's Tifton Campus.
Moultrie Tech and the Tifton office of the Georgia Department of Labor joined together to hold the event. More than 50 businesses and industries were there to speak with potential employees.
"We, as a technical school, thrive on workforce development. And we are so happy that we're able to host an event like this where our students can come in, even before they're ready to graduate," said Bridgett Adams of Moultrie Technical College.
Organizers say about 300 students attended. The event was also open to community members.

April 18, 1973
Biographical/Historical abstract:
Additional contributor:
This handwritten note, dated April 18, 1973, documents a conversation between University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Dean James Allen and attorney Michael K. Curtis, who was representing several students in a planned lawsuit over the status of the Neo-Black Society at UNCG. Curtis stated that a lawsuit would probably be filed unless the Neo-Black Society instituted an affirmative action program to recruit white students. On March 26, 1973, SGA had voted to reclassify (removed funding and recognition from) the Neo-Black Society. The SGA decision was overturned by university administration on the basis of faulty evidence and improper procedure by SGA, resulting in an eventual legal case that led to the Neo-Black Society's reinstatement as a recognized and funded organization. The note is signed "Helen"; she may have been Dean Allen's secretary.

mOLLY'S aDOPT A sAILOR-hOME pAGE
Molly's Adopt A Sailors humble beginnings started on the website,
. The group was created simply to adopt a group of deployed Military Personnel, because we weren't able to send care packages to our sailors that had left for boot camp. As we became more indoctrinated into all things Military, we learned, not all of our Troops were receiving the love and support from home that they so richly deserved. This group decided to make it their mission to change that. As we went further down the path, we discussed the idea of an official 501C3. Discuss. Pray. Act. We acted on the idea and in a record 11 days, Molly's Adopt A Sailor became a certified 501C3.
WE ShIP Love. Period.
Amazing Girl Scout Volunteers
We would also like to send a huge shout out to Bigelow Teas for helping us to support this month's group. They gladly and proudly donated their Classic American Teas. When you shop, please remember those that help us support our troops!

Nature Notes: Daisy Delight
9:24am Monday 15th October 2012 in Nature Notes By Tony Drakeford
Three cheers for the Michaelmas daisy. At a time when most flowers are fading fast, this season is blessed with an abundance of blossom that adds a further colourful dimension to the vibrant mix of autumnal tints we so enjoy.
Surprisingly perhaps, the plant, which is related to the sea aster, is not native to Britain but nevertheless a welcome alien, now naturalised, having its origins in North America and introduced centuries ago as an attractive garden plant.
The name stems from the fact that it is normally seen at its best around the feast of St.Michael on 29th September. There are several strains, all of which offer insects copious supplies of nectar and pollen needed for successful hibernation.
My garden is ablaze with clumps of Michaelmas daisies and its great to see so many honeybees (pictured) bumblebees, hoverflies and occasional butterflies taking full advantage before winter sets in.
Another wonderful autumnal source of nectar is the ivy. The rather drab, greenish globular flower heads attract flies, butterflies, wasps and hornets, all extremely scarce this year and they help the plant by pollinating it as they feed.
The holly blue butterfly lays its eggs on unopened flower buds in late summer and later on, the powdery blue-black berries are much sought after by birds.

In an often friendly article, Douglas Quenqua put forth to the readers of the Fashion & Style section of the NY Times the rising popularity of mixed martial arts among the younger generation of sports fans and participants. The article opens with a February Ring of Combat event featuring Tom DeBlass, the #3 Light Heavyweight Prospect from the 2012 Scouting Report.
Despite bumbling the fact that DeBlass is already a professional MMA fighter, Quenqua accurately depicts DeBlass's leglock method of victory and goes on to quote some of Bloody Elbow's familiar faces, while building the case that MMA is a very real sporting institution across the United States.
Quenqua gives some of his valuable column inches to Kid Nate:
Nate Wilcox, a public-affairs consultant in Austin, Tex., and writer for Bloody Elbow, one of many M.M.A. blogs, became an instant fan of the sport in 1995 when someone showed him a tape of the 1994 match between Royce Gracie and Kimo Leopoldo from Ultimate Fighting Championship III.
"I used to play in a punk band, and someone brought a tape to practice and was like, 'Nate, you are going to love this,' " he said.
No word has been forthcoming on either side whether Kid Nate's affection for hats dates to this punk period or is a more recent happening. Either way, we now reap the rewards of the dark ages tape-sharing and hopefully, most here are grateful that this nameless person sparked the desire for controlled multi-discipline pugilistic violence in Nate.
Hit the jump for more Bloody Elbow-related quotes and some discussion of Quenqua's article.
Chris Groves, one of the more prolific members of the Bloody Elbow community, managed to get a very nice summation of MMA's appeal across in the article. Unfortunately, they misspelled his name and left the correction to the web edition without actually correcting the article:
"I would say that if boxing is the sweet science, then M.M.A. is the complete science," said Chris Jones, a 19-year-old student at Pasco-Hernando Community College in, Fla. "It's all aspects of the fight. It's a full fight. It's a real fight."
Despite these well placed quotes, attending a fairly good regional MMA event and having a wealth of online and off-line resources for fact-checking, Quenqua still throws out mistakes and awful metaphors while glossing briefly over the long and complicated history of the sport in recent times. In the aggregate, the article does an average job of bopping through some of the cultural benchmarks the sport of MMA has achieved, yet either space constraints or Quenqua's own newbie status prevent any serious analysis or context from being delivered to readers of the article. Furthermore, the absurdly reductive passages like
It's like a boxing match crossbred with WrestleMania, presented in the middle of an Insane Clown Posse concert.
might actually be counter-productive to Quenqua's intent to present MMA as something that the NY Times Fashion & Style readers should pay attention to or check out on their own time. Visions of small hordes of ICP fans inciting and performing acts of skilled violence are unlikely to calm the hysteria-mongers or reassure the NY Times-reading parents of impressionable youth that MMA is not going to ruin their children.
Quenqua does quote Robert Thompson, a professor over at Syracuse University, who provides the headline hook by speaking about Fight Club and presents the best image of MMA fans in the entire article.
The fascination with the sport has even seeped into the walls of academia. Robert Thompson, a professor of popular culture at Syracuse University, said that many of his male students wanted to write papers about mixed martial arts. And they are not always the students you would expect.
"People who don't know these sports very well think their fans must be these kind of crazed, people-on-the-verge-of-a-breakdown, violent kind of thing," he said. But the students he sees who are most interested in the sport "tend to have really good grade-point averages and be really fine students," he said. "This is not something that smart young people look down their noses at."
He agreed that the impact of "Fight Club" could not be discounted; it became a manifesto for a generation of boys who felt estranged from their masculinity. "It became this kind of magnum opus, and it described a certain culture of this kind of sport," Professor Thompson said. "This was their thing, and they defined themselves accordingly."
The cult popularity of Fight Club is significant, yet the sport of MMA was present long before Chuck Palahniuk and David Fincher ever put their stories together. Our own John Nash and T.P. Grant have documented that thoroughly in their separate historical article series. Furthermore, the sport did not truly explode into the American consciousness (and financial lucrativeness) until roughly 2004 or 2005 - five or six years after the movie had come out and settled into the youth of that time. It is a good hook, despite its likely misapplication by Quenqua and could get a few new eyeballs to the sport.
Quenqua does do a decent job of getting input directly from fans in attendance and in making this article link to a photo gallery that shows the passion the fighters, families and fans all bring to MMA. Credit should be given to him for recognizing that passion and attempting to make it work as an article.
In short, this NY Times piece is not the article that the ardent MMA fan should be sending around to fence-sitters or those new to the sport in hopes of conversion. However, it is generally positive coverage in the most respected American newspaper running today and thus worth covering here on Bloody Elbow.
Big ups to the fighters, organizers, promoters, fans, Bloody Elbow readers and writers who are working towards getting this sport and its related disciplines to an accepted state in the mainstream consciousness. We are getting there.

Penn: Women are sexist
by Politico80, Tue Jan 22, 2008 at 06:11:57 PM EST
Disclaimer: This diary is focused on debating general election (GE) strategy. I hope this thread will not regress into ad hominem attacks on any of our strong liberal candidates for President.
Mark Penn on Hillary Rodham Clinton's electability:
"Republicans are not prepared for the loss of a substantial group of Republican women voters ... even in the South," he said. "I think you're going to see as much as 24% of Republican women defect and make a major difference nationwide in terms of, I think, the emotional element of potentially having the first woman nominee. And that that actually will be a major unexpected factor here that will throw the Republicans for a loop."
Let's consider this statement...

For Minority Physicians
AMA members inspire minority students to choose career in medicine
Members of the AMA Medical Student Section and Minority Affairs Section (MAS) teamed up Friday morning to inspire local minority students to consider a career in health care.
The Doctors Back to School Career and Wellness Fair at Rachel Carson Elementary School gave students from Chicago Public Schools an opportunity to learn more about the medical profession through interactions with physicians and medical students.
In the opening assembly Principle Javier Arriola-Lopez gave physicians and medical students an overview about the school and thanked them for taking time out to give back. Afterwards, physicians gathered in the classrooms to share their personal stories about what led them to the practice of medicine and answered questions about medical school, specialties, and working in a hospital setting.
"If you like science or math, think about a career in medicine," Niva Lubin-Johnson, MD, an internal medicine physician in Chicago, told the students.
Medical students at the event ran healthy lifestyles activity stations modeled after hospital departments, where Carson school students got hands-on experience. At the risky-behavior station, children learned about the dangers of smoking and were able to feel and see the damaging effects it has on the lungs through a sample brought by the medical students. At the healthy-eating station, AMA members informed the students about what should be the nutritional make up of their daily diet using MyPlate guidelines as an example.
University of Alabama medical student Julia Tan a first-time Annual Meeting attendee, said, "This event is great. You hear through the media about all the daily struggles and challenges these Chicago kids face in their neighborhoods. To be able to come here and inform them of options and careers that they can aspire to is an honor."
Endocrinologist Kevin McKinney, MD, from the University of Texas at Galveston said, "For me as an African American it's important that they see people of color like themselves in careers like this."
Highlights from AMA-MAS Annual Meeting assembly
The AMA Minority Affairs Section (MAS) held two exciting programs in conjunction with its section business meeting and reception.
The AMA-MAS, along with the AMA Medical Student Section (MSS) and the AMA Alliance, conducted a Doctors Back to School™ (DBTS) visit on Friday morning. This collaborative effort involved over 650 students in fourth through eighth grades from Carson Elementary School. The DBTS program is an effective way for physicians and medical students to introduce minority children to careers in medicine.
The AMA Minority Affairs Section held its business meeting on Friday evening. The keynote speaker was Linda Rae Murray, MD, chief medical officer for the Cook County Department of Public Health. The meeting also featured an open forum on AMA House of Delegates reports and resolutions that impact minority physicians and patients.
An awards presentation honored eight medical students who received the 2013 Minority Scholars Awards. Recipients won $10,000 scholarships from the AMA Foundation, made possible from Pfizer Inc. These scholarships recognize scholastic achievement, financial need and personal commitment to improving health care disparities among students in groups defined as historically underrepresented in the medical profession.
The newly elected officers for 2013–14 for the MAS Governing Council are Dionne Hart, MD, chair and Niva Lubin-Johnson, MD, vice-chair. Finally, Kevin McKinney, MD, received an award for his commitment to his patients and the profession.
All AMA members are encouraged to join the MAS. Visit the website to join today.

Pneumonia, The acute phase response, Cytokine regulation, Acute lung injury
Lung infections account for a tremendous burden of disease, representing the most frequent cause of infection-related deaths and a common cause of acute lung injury. The innate immune response is critical for the prevention of lower respiratory tract infections. Yet, this response must be tightly regulated, such that adequate host defenses do not result in inflammatory lung injury. Our long-term goal is to elucidate intra- and extra-pulmonary signaling events required for an immune response that is both effective and balanced. The local response to lung infections includes neutrophil recruitment, expression of soluble mediators such as cytokines, and the extravasation of plasma constituents from the vascular space into the alveolar space. The result is an inflammatory milieu and cellular composition that promotes local immune responsiveness. This physiologic transition within the lung, however, occurs in tandem with a systemic acute phase response (APR), typified by altered circulating levels of acute phase proteins (APPs). While the APR has long been recognized as a useful biomarker of disease progression during pneumonia, the collective impact of APPs on inflammation and host defense are unknown. We have recently shown that the cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6, which are critical for maximal host defense during pneumonia, are also essential for the activation of downstream transcription factors and the expression of APPs in the liver. Therefore, the hepatic APR may be a systemic conduit through which select cytokines promote the immune response to lung infection. Understanding how APPs and other extra-pulmonary factors integrate with local responses in the lung to promote immunity and tissue protection during pneumonia will help to identify novel prognostic indicators and therapeutics for this important disease.
