text: I saw this article and once again it reinforced the AZ bias (or should I say failure to acknowledge the existence of) from ESPN. To not pick Barry Enright is an opinion and I guess even stupid people are entitled to theirs, but to not even mention him in the article is ridiculous. To put up the numbers he has, against the teams he has and the pitchers he's faced, deserves some love. 'Nuff said.

Poor, poor Justin Bieber. Sure, he's a superstar, the new King of Pop, even, but he's still an 18-year-old boy. We may know him as the best boyfriend ever, but he still has urges, and he still has needs that even his beloved Selena Gomez can't satisfy.
Yes, we're about to talk about Justin Bieber's sex life. Strap yourselves in, friends. It's about to get ugly.
From Us Weekly via Celebitchy:
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are struggling to hold on to each other. Bieber, 18, has spent the last year and a half wooing Gomez – renting LA's Staples Center for a private screening of Titanic, lavishing her with gifts, treating her to a helicopter tour of Toronto – but sources say the pair have been on the brink of a breakup for months.
"They fight and then make up all the time," says a friend. At issue? Schedules that mean spending too much time apart – and plenty of girls willing to ease Justin's loneliness.
"Justin loves Selena, but he's starting to feel antsy," reveals a source close to Justin. "He's in his prime and can get any girl he wants. He has definitely thought about being free."
At Justin's March birthday bash, Selena and Justin stayed close and "Selena kept telling everyone she wanted to have Justin's babies." But just days later, Gomez left for Florida to shoot Spring Breakers and Justin stayed behind in LA.
"Selena's schedule is crazy and has become a source of contention. She has broken big plans – like a trip to Mexico – with Justin six times, and he complains."
By mid-May, Bieber was losing patience.
"He feels he should be tapping all the girls who come around," says the Bieber source. "It's hard."
Justin tried to initiate a split, but Gomez wasn't having it. "She freaked out," says the source. "So he apologized and got back together with her."
Then, at the MuchMusic Awards in June, Justin was acting "weird" says a source, and then he had a mini-breakdown. As his trademark hair was styled, "Justin was not in a good way. He was upset and crying, saying the relationship was over."
But – surprise! – it wasn't. Come July, the two were cuddling in LA. The source says, "They are kids! Of course they fight. They can both be dramatic."
In the end, "Justin is still crazy about her and knows how lucky he is to have her," says the Bieber insider. "Everything is not always perfect, but for now they are happy."
I really can't decide what makes me feel ickier, the idea that Justin Bieber believes that "he should be tapping all the girls who come around," or the fact that I laughed out loud after reading the bit where he was crying while getting his hair done. Stars, they're just like us when we're getting ready for the eighth grade prom!
But really, I hope these two kids work it out. I mean, I don't really want Selena to get her wish of having Justin's babies, but I kind of want Selena to get her wish of having Justin's babies. The gossip, you guys. The gossip it would bring. The pictures, and the statements. The onesies that Justin would start selling that would say things like "swaggy baby" and "swag" and "swagger." "Made by swagger." "I'm two months old and I'm a swaggy infant.". Oh, and the songs that Justin would write about the situation. It would be really glorious until Justin started ruining the baby's life.

I'm more worried about the "He's in his prime and can get any girl he wants." part. That's just eugh. And, tapping his fans? His fans are 15 and under for crying out loud. That's illegal.
As hard as it is to believe, he definitely has fans over 18. Plus many others who may not care for his music or for him, but would sleep with him anyway.
Funny she wants his babies .. I doubt that they will last forever even about the marriage part lol they're never together. That explains it all and they leave eachother so much then make up ahahaha wow if they say they're serious with eachother and wouldn't breakp then they wouldn't do that to eachother and ya kids do fight but not that much like the do . They sound like too marriage couples gettin a devorice and then make up at the end .. Im Laughlin my ass off about Selena wants to have his babies who wants to have babies right away and think about that
And his gonna willing to tap every girl his with behind selena back that's my opioinion . His gonna cheat on her again and again like he did before in 2011 with his ex for example .. Funny I hope they break up and Justin does what he wants and have fun and selena starts to cry all over him lol
if he has got selena he can have any girl
hehehehe "It's hard." That's what she said.
"Stars, they're just like us when we're getting ready for the eighth grade prom!" Emily, you are a wonderful, magical being.
Also, were he dating anyone other than Selena Gomez (or Nina Dobrev or Leighton Meester, which is about the extent of my mental hot-celebrity-ladies before I just blatantly out myself by dropping names like Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Pfeiffer), I would agree that he's kind of wasting his teen years and what are (hopefully) his peak years of fame by being in a relationship. Attractive teens who are emotionally mature enough to handle it are welcome to slut it up with each other. While Justin doesn't seem to be the pinnacle of maturity (or, let's face it, dignity), it makes sense for him to use his fame for sex. That's kind of the benefit of being famous.
Am I the odd one out, here? Like, if you're famous, you make lots of money and slut it up forever for a few years. Then things calm down and you can retire and live comfortably with your fortune and overeat and play video games. In that life, the fame-and-sex part actually sounds like the less pleasant early stage.
I feel ya, Simon.
If they break up I give it 2 weeks before the STD rumors come out. And in today's world it would be true.
i can not belive that they got together
What penis?
"the new King of Pop" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Fuck you Justin
Stop talking about my friend and his girlfriend! Biches dvvb
leave him alone(justin bieber)
leave him alone(justin bieber)

Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security ordered border agents to start verifying that every international student who arrives in the U.S. has a valid student visa. The new procedure is the government's first security change directly related to the Boston bombings.
This all comes one day after the Obama administration acknowledged that a student from Kazakhstan was allowed to return to the U.S. in January without a valid student visa.
That same student was accused of hiding evidence for one of the Boston bombing suspects.
One local international student tells me he agrees with the changes.
Leaving all he ever knew in Peru at 20, Javier Montoya came to study business at FGCU.
"I've been in this country for two years. I just finished with my fourth semester," Montoya said.
Inspired by his cousin to get an education in the United States, the business major landed a scholarship for Latin American and Caribbean students.
"It's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. And I'm really, really satisfied with that," Montoya said.
To be a student at FGCU, he has a student visa. It lasts from 2011 to 2016.
"Every time I go back to my country, or I go to any other country, when I come back here, they check the date," Montoya said.
Now under new procedures directly related to the Boston bombings, U.S. customs and border agents will verify a student's visa status before they arrive in the U.S. Agents will use information in the flight manifest, which is a list of passengers onboard. They can also check visa status through the National Targeting Data Center.
This new protocol will not only impact Montoya, but 772 other international FGCU students.
"I agree. I think it's something that they must do. I understand. I understand the government. I understand that the Office of Homeland Security, the Department of Homeland Security, all these departments, because they're just trying to make the country safer," Montoya said.
Montoya plans to go home this summer and come back before the fall semester. And because his education is important to him, he always keeps his paperwork up to date.
"I've been really responsible with everything, so I don't think it will be a problem," Montoya said.
Montoya says some students may not be aware of the changes yet, since the spring semester has ended. We also reached out to Edison State College for their international student numbers, but we were unable to get them today.

(circa 1853)
Jackson, MS 39202
(601) 353-9339
Open: Tuesday to Saturday: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Closed: Sundays, Mondays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day and 4th of July.
Directions: From I-55 North, take Exit 96C at Fortification Street or Exit 96B at High St. and drive west approximately 3/4 mile to Jefferson St. The Oaks is about halfway between High and Fortification Streets on the west side of Jefferson, behind a picket fence.
The Oaks, a Greek Revival-style cottage, was built about 1853 on four acres of land located near the center of Mississippi's fledgling capital city. The house is one of few extant structures that survived the burning of Jackson in the Civil War.
Also known as the Boyd House, it was the home of James Hervey Boyd, Eliza Ellis Boyd, their six children, and numerous grandchildren. Mr. Boyd served his community four times as mayor and was an alderman for at least six terms, including the year 1863 when Jackson was occupied and burned by Union forces.
The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in The State of Mississippi purchased the property in 1960 for use as a house museum and headquarters. The Oaks is administered by The Oaks House Museum Corporation.

The claws are out and the competition is fierce. "When she was born you could tell by that little round head and little nose that she was a show cat," said Shelby Hollabaugh, a breeder competing in the Fancy Felines cat show.
Holly made the trip from Virginia with her owner Shelby Hollabaugh. This long-haired persian is one of more than 150 cats competing at The Vermont Fancy Felines annual cat show this weekend. "I love it," explains Hollabaugh, "I love the competition. These cats are my babies. It's almost like seeing your kid play soccer. That's how it is. When you see them win, it's amazing."
Like beauty pageants, these cats are judged in different categories, and based on a point system, they can make regional or even a national title. Points earned here in Vermont will count toward Holly's quest for a national title. She's within paw's length of the top 25.
Each breed, of which more than 50 are competing, has its own written standards. And let's just say, these kitties need pampering to win. "Right before the cat show at 6:00 in the morning, you get up, wash them, and sit there to dry them with a dryer. You have to trim their face, trim their ears, and fluff their cheeks," said Hollabaugh.
"You know all of these people at the show, all of us have professional lives outside of Cat Fancy but on the weekends it's all about the cats. Everything else doesn't matter," said Marilyn Conde.
Marilyn Conde is the Vice President for Club Feline Alouette. That makes her an organizer and competitive breeder. She says all those who enter, professional or amateur, share a common passion. "This is a common denominator we love cats, we come from all different walks of life, but put us in a room with our cats and we're all on equal footing," said Conde.
"We came to see the cat show, we've never actually seen one. I really like cats a lot," said Annie and John Bingel, two young spectators at the cat show. Organizers hope successful shows will breed even more interest in the future.

Should be much higher than 4.0: Things that are not even close to a "4" right now: Jessica Biel; the basketball position of Muggsy Bogues and the job status of the BC football coach. Whatever the hottest number for the hot-seat ranking gauge goes up to, that's where Spaziani's at entering the 2012 season. The Eagles had won at least eight games for eight years in a row till Spaziani was handed the job and they'd won 30 the previous three seasons. Since then, they've won eight, then seven and then four last year. He's also had significant staff chemistry problems. Among them, his confrontation with then-OC Kevin Rogers in a situation, where BC sources told me, the head man clearly crossed the line. None of that bodes well for a program not used to being at the bottom of its conference. Spaziani needs to win a lot more games this fall or else he'll be out of there by winter.Top 10 list: About those Hot Seat Rankings . . (CBS Sports Bruce Feldman)
However, whether it was sustainable or not, there is no doubt that the program continues to take steps in the wrong direction under Spaziani. The team has gone from eight wins in his first year to seven wins in 2010 to just a 4-8 mark last season, and maybe worst of all, have lost their identity. For a team that has produced elite quarterbacks like Matt Ryan and the Hasselbeck brothers over the years, Boston College finished 100th in passing offense last year, and 112th nationally in scoring at just 18.2 points per game. Understand that it's one thing to be bad. It's quite another to be boring. And right now, Boston College is both.It's Hot Seat Week here at Crystal Ball Run (Crystal Ball Run)

This entry was promoted to the front page by Luke Thomas. Four More middleweight matches were announced for the Middleweight Grand Prix.....
JapanMMA is reporting that four more matches have been announced for the Middleweight GP that begins April 29th.
Annouced today (all tournament fights):
Ikuhisa Minowa 39-27-8 vs. 2-2-0 Taiei Kin
Magomed Sultanakhmadov 4-1-0 vs. 7-3-0 Zelg "Benkei" Galesic
Yoon Dong Sik 3-4-0 vs. 7-10-0 Shungo Oyama
Ronaldo Jacare vs. 16-6-0 Frank Trigg
Previously announced:
Tournament fights
Kazushi Sakuraba 23-10-1 vs. Andrews Nakahara
Kiyoshi Tamura 28-14-0 vs. 38-12-1 Masakatsu Funaki
Denis Kang 29-9-1 vs. 20-2-1 Gegard Mousasi
Frank Trigg and Zelg Galesic are the main surprises here, as there hadn't been much mention of them in the chatter leading up to the announcement. Trigg, a Top 10 middleweight by some folks estimation, most recently fought with HDNet Fights. Trigg is paired with BJJ phenom Jacare Souza and will look to use his wrestling to counter his opponent's sub skills.
Zelg Galesic was also listed for the tourney. Zelg is Croat striker who has history in K-1 Heroes. Galesic tends to have problems once the fight hits the ground, as evidenced by his losses in K-1 to Yoon Dong Sik and Takimoto.
There should be one other fight announced for the GP as there are only 14 participants as of now. If no other fights are announced, they may give someone a bye through to the second round, as was done with Caol Uno in the Lightweight Grand Prix. Noticeable by his omission so far is Middleweight Superstar Yoshihiro Akiyama. With Dream 1 drawing mediocre television ratings, one would think that they are looking to make a match-up for Akiyama, a controversial figure in Japanese MMA who will draw eyeballs. Possible opponents are Chute Boxe fighter Daniel Acacio and Chechen fighter Mamed Khalidov, both of whom have been mentioned as possible GP entrants.

While the need for science teachers is high and the majority of Clarion education graduates find employment within the Commonwealth, the high standards required to earn a PA teaching certification make it highly portable to other states.
The skills and knowledge integrated into the Secondary Education Biology program also prepare graduates to move into fields which combine science knowledge, leadership, interpersonal and organizational skills. For example, science education alumni have successfully entered the workforce as corporate trainers, museum educators, science center directors, pharmaceutical sales, and outdoor education coordinators. They are also well prepared for graduate study in biology or science education.

I made my first Etsy sell. I was and am very excited. I've had a tiny little shop called MerleyBird for awhile now where I have a couple of my felted creations for sale. Having an Etsy shop allows me to continue to create while not having to worry about what I'm going to do with a surplus of felted giraffes. Of course this "creation" only occurs on those rare occasions when I get enough uninterrupted downtime…aka T is asleep and there aren't any glaring housework situations to be taken care of.
Curious? What is felting?
I do traditional dry needle felting. I take raw wool roving (which looks like big fluffy clouds of wool cotton balls) and manipulate the fibers with a single barbed needle until they "catch" on each other and can be formed into shapes. The best way to really see what I mean is to check out a couple of youTube videos. My curiosity was what got me started. I bought the most adorable little elephant off of Etsy for T's nursery. I love that thing. I wanted a mobile for his room also but the cute ones on Etsy run well over $100 for what I had my eye on. So! I learned to make my own.
Why Felting?
I've had interest in MANY types of artsy craftsy kind of stuff over my lifespan. I like felting mainly because I am only limited by my skill and imagination when it comes to creating pieces. Plus, felting doesn't require a lot of room and can easily be stuffed back into my plastic Sterilite storage container for another day (unlike say the spread that is necessary when doing a quilt).

Next Generation Transit
New York City MTA
On The Go Interactive Wayfinding Kiosks
The New York City MTA has partnered with Control Group to create new digital touch-points that will deliver a better experience for daily commuters and visitors, as well as help the MTA develop innovative ad revenue models. The new On The Go interactive HD displays provide real-time information, including simple visual station directions with transfers and line alerts, countdown to train arrival, relevant service updates, and a digital content loop. Up to 90 new installations will be placed at top New York City subway stations that service more than 5 million riders each day.
You look at the map, you tap your intended destination, and the map will draw your route, including any transfers along the way. It's an interface that puts Google Maps to shame.
Fast Company, NYC Subways Deploy A Touch-Screen Network, Complete With Apps
And with Qualcomm's Gimbal technology, we're set to revolutionize the transit experience by turning our network of wayfinding kiosks into underground proximity beacons that can broadcast real time, contextually-relevant information to riders' phones, even in the absence of cellular and GPS signals. For commuters who opt-in, this will provide ground-breaking new interactions between riders, the MTA, and advertisers.

Thanks to the generosity of the publisher, Viking/Penguin, I have one copy of Jessica Maria Tuccelli's novel, Glow, to offer on She Is Too Fond of Books.
We shared a bit about the novel in Tuccelli's Spotlight on Bookstores post about Three Lives & Company, a charming bookshop in Greenwich Village. Here's the full publisher's description:
In the autumn of 1941, Amelia J. McGee, a young woman of Cherokee and Scotch-Irish descent, and an outspoken pamphleteer for the NAACP, hastily sends her daughter, Ella, alone on a bus home to Georgia in the middle of the night—a desperate measure that proves calamitous when the child encounters two drifters and is left for dead on the side of the road.
Ella awakens in the homestead of Willie Mae Cotton, a wise root doctor and former slave, and her partner, Mary-Mary Freeborn, tucked deep in the Takatoka Forest. As Ella heals, the secrets of her lineage are revealed.
Shot through with Cherokee lore and hoodoo conjuring, Glow transports us from Washington, D.C., on the brink of World War II to the Blue Ridge frontier of 1836, from the parlors of antebellum manses to the plantation kitchens where girls are raised by women who stand in as mothers. As the land with all its promise and turmoil passes from one generation to the next, Ella's ancestral home turns from safe haven to mayhem and back again.
Jessica Maria Tuccelli reveals deep insight into individual acts that can transform a community, and the ties that bind people together across immeasurable hardships and distances. Illuminating the tragedy of human frailty, the vitality of friendship and hope, and the fiercest of all bonds—mother love—the voices of Glow transcend their history with grace and splendor.
Ladies Home Journal says: "Fans of The Help, this one's for you: A tale of ghosts, slavery, racism and redemption wrapped up in an epic testament to the power of maternal love." I'm ready to sit down with a pitcher of iced tea and dig into Glow!
To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment below. This post will be open for entries until midnight ET on Thursday, April 12, with the winner selected by random drawing and announced here on April 13. Giveaway is limited to US/Canada addresses only.

This is a very good recipe! I did make a few changes:
1. Used 3/4 c. chicken broth, 1/2 c. water instead of all water
2. Simmer the liquid down to almost the rice line BEFORE you put the lid on
3. Let it sit with the lid on and the burner turned off 10 minutes BEFORE fluffing the rice.
4. I kept the skin on the meat.
Just wonderful, loved it!

WASHINTON, D.C., (KNOE 8 News) - Mayors Against Illegal Guns released a map today showing that 98.6 percent of Louisianans live within ten miles of a gun store, disproving the gun lobby's claim that background checks would be a burden for private gun sellers and bolstering the case for checks on all gun sales. There are 1,141 federally licensed gun dealers in Louisiana – 2.3 times the number of post offices – making it fast and easy for private sellers to meet buyers at local gun dealers to run a background check before completing a sale. Ninety percent of background checks take just minutes to complete, further illustrating the ease and convenience of a required check. The Louisiana map, as well as a national map showing federally licensed gun dealers across the country, can be viewed here: www.DemandAction.org/dealers
"The gun lobby has long argued that requiring background checks would be burdensome for sellers – these maps definitively refute that idea," said Mayors Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. "It's clear that, no matter where you live in America, getting a background check will be quick and convenient – who wouldn't drive ten miles to save a life? Americans overwhelmingly support background checks for all gun sales. It's time for Congress to make it a reality."
"The NRA's argument that background checks are 'inconvenient' for gun sellers and buyers is ridiculous, especially since almost every American lives within ten miles of a licensed gun dealer," Mayors Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said. "These checks are quick, easy measures that will help make our neighborhoods safer. That's why Americans almost unanimously agree that we need background checks for every gun sale – and that's why it's time for our leaders in Washington to act."
Under current law, federally licensed gun dealers are required to conduct criminal background checks on all gun buyers, however, around 40 percent of U.S. gun transfers are conducted by unlicensed "private sellers" who are not required to conduct a federal check,[1] and who often do business at gun shows and on the Internet. This indicates that about 6.6 million guns were transferred in the U.S. in 2012 with no background check for the buyer.[2] This loophole allows dangerous people who are prohibited from buying guns – including felons, domestic abusers and the seriously mentally ill – to avoid a background check by simply avoiding licensed dealers.
The Protecting Responsible Gun Owners Act (S.374), sponsored by New York Senator Charles E. Schumer, would require background checks for all gun sales and would close the private sale loophole. The bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday.
Evidence demonstrates that background checks save lives. For example, in the fourteen states that already require background checks for all handgun sales:
Gun trafficking is 48 percent lower than in states that fail to require background checks for all handgun sales.[3]
In 2010, the rate of women murdered by an intimate partner with a gun was 38 percent lower than in other states, while the rate murdered by other means was nearly identical.[4]
The firearm suicide rate was 49 percent lower than in other states, even though people committed suicide in other ways at almost precisely the same rate.[5]
Recent polls by Mayors Against Illegal Guns showed likely voters in a wide range of states and congressional districts overwhelmingly support background checks for all gun sales. The average support for background checks for all gun sales among 41 congressional district polls was 89 percent; the average among 21 statewide polls was 86 percent. In Louisiana, 85 percent support background checks.
These findings are in line with recent independent polls that have found more than 90 percent of Americans support background checks for all buyers. Previous polling by Republican Frank Luntz for Mayors Against Illegal Guns also found that 82 percent of gun owners – including 74 percent of National Rifle Association members – support requiring criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns recently released an ad highlighting the NRA's flip-flop on background checks. NRA President Wayne LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Washington gun lobby no longer supports background checks for all gun sales. The coalition's ad highlighted previous LaPierre testimony before Congress from 1999 in which he said that the NRA supported closing background check loopholes, "No loopholes anywhere. For anyone."

Police released a sketch of the man Strickland described, but after further investigation, authorities said they believe she made it all up. Strickland has been charged with making a false report.

Winslow Corbett '98 has made a name for herself in theater
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Tue, 03/09/2010 - 3:54pm
posted in
From the Winter 2010 Caller
Gretchen Corbett 63's daughter Winslow Corbett '98 has made a name for herself in theater. She's acted in New York and throughout the country and appeared in a Lifetime TV movie. Gretchen reminisces about Winslow's first professional acting job, at age 15 in "Arcadia" at ACT in Seattle: "Some people remember seeing their child go into 1st grade. But for me it was walking down the street and stopping a block from the theater, watching Winslow walk down the block alone." She says that Winslow is quite different from her mother: "She's good at playing roles I could never touch. She has femininity, humor, and a lightness of spirit. We're good friends."

The Hobbit officially kicked off the holiday movie season this weekend, but what about everything else opening over the next few weeks that doesn't include wizards and dwarves? Here's five other films just as epic in their own right as the bloated monster Peter Jackson has unleashed that you might want to make a note of seeing.
This is 40 (December 21) – Judd Apatow's unofficial sequel to his 2007 hit dramedy Knocked Up, This is 40 revolves around the characters of Debbie and Pete (Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd) as they cope with getting old, trying to raise their kids properly, money issues, and a slew of other problems anyone over the age of 30 has. At over 2-hours long, this is Apatow's most consistently funny film and is filled with lots of memorable scenes that will leave you in tears from laughing so hard (especially the cameo from Melissa McCarthy).
Django Unchained (Christmas Day) – A Quentin Tarantino revenge film starring Jamie Foxx as a slave on the hunt for his wife who has been taken by an evil Mississippi plantation owner is not your typical Christmas Day film. Yet, this brutal tale, which also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Johnson, and Don Johnson, has major Oscar buzz and could get QT another gold statue for his collection. I've been anticipating this film since it was first mentioned and no turkey dinner will keep me away from seeing it opening day.
Les Misérables (Christmas Day) – It wouldn't be the holidays without a big budget movie musical. And this adaptation of the Broadway play, directed by Tom 'The King's Speech' Hooper, promises to be something special with the likes of Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, and Hugh Jackman singing their hearts out (Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Helena Bonham Carter also star and sing). Word is that all the early screenings have left audiences in tears so you might want to pack some tissues before venturing out to see it. It's also 157 minutes long so don't try to see it back-to-back with The Hobbit (which is a numbing 169 minutes).
The Guilt Trip (December 21) – Barbra Streisand as Seth Rogen's mother in a movie where the two of them go on a road trip together? Directed by the woman who made The Proposal and 27 Dresses? This could be surprisingly funny or extremely painful and incredibly annoying. Watching Rogen and Streisand during their press interviews it's very evident they have great comedic chemistry so I'm hoping for the best with the outcome of this one.
Jack Reacher (December 21) - When the trailer for Jack Reacher (below) played before a film I saw recently the entire audience laughed very loudly at it. Here's the thing — Jack Reacher is not a comedy! No, it's a Tom Cruise action-thriller where he plays a homicide detective searching for a military sniper. Why did everyone laugh at it then? Because it looks absolutely ridiculous and could be a bigger dud than Cruise's other film this year, Rock of Ages. Maybe it's time for Cruise to call it a day. Or only make Mission: Impossible films from now on.
Also opening over the next few weeks are Monsters, Inc. 3D, Parental Guidance, Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away, and The Impossible.

Sandy packing a $470 milion wallop to N.J. revenue
EAST RUTHERFORD - Because of the devastation wrought by superstorm Sandy, New Jersey is anticipating a $470 million drop in state revenue, a Christie administration official said Tuesday.
Louis Goetting, deputy chief of staff for Governor Chris Christie, was asked about the impact of the deadly storm on the state during a panel on the economic outlook for commercial real estate in a Post-Sandy Jersey. The discussion was held at the annual meeting of the state's chapter of NAIOP, a commercial real estate group.
State officials have given the White House an estimate of $470 million, Goetting said in response to the question. On Wednesday, Christie spokesman Mike Drewniak elaborated on Goetting's answer, saying the figure represented Sandy's financial impact on overall state revenue.
"The $470 million estimate would cover roughly a two-year period and would include municipal revenues including taxes, parking, beach fees, along with state revenues including sales tax, income tax and corporate taxes," Drewniak said in an email.
Goetting and other officials, including Matt Erskine, deputy assistant secretary for economic development for the U.S. Economic Development Administration, addressed about 260 attendees at the Sheraton Meadowlands. In part, the panelists saw an upside in the aftermath of Sandy: An outpouring of federal aid and insurance money that will eventually flow to New Jersey as a result of the storm, jumpstarting the state's economy.
"One of the things we have to recognize about Sandy is that there's going to be a tremendous amount of money coming in, whether it's relief from the federal government, whether it's insurance people brought from FEMA or private insurance, or investments people like me are making because I'm installing a generator in my house," said panelist Gil Medina, executive managing director for Cushman & Wakefield of New Jersey. "So when you look at all this combined, you're looking at about $45 billion that is going to be coming to New Jersey to help with the rebuilding."
That money is equivalent to about 10 percent of the state's gross domestic product, he said.
"That's a tremendous amount of stimulus that New Jersey's economy's going to be getting," Medina said. "It's going to play out in the real estate industry because we're so impacted by the growth or contraction of the economy of the state."
Erskine also positioned the rebuilding after Sandy as a change for the public and private sectors to work together, and for companies to profit.
"The disaster, despite its loss, also brings opportunity for reinvestment and innovation," Erskine said, also pledging continued support from President Barack Obama.
Panelist Jim Gerace, president of Verizon Communications Inc.'s New York/New Jersey region, said the telecom company sustained $1 billion in damage during the storm.
"And we really can't recoup any of that because it is just the realities of competition," he said. "Building smarter is definitely where we want to be."
In line with that, Verizon is speeding up deployment of fiber-optic lines and production of a new device, Voice Link, which it plans to launch in Jersey Shore areas whose home phone lines were downed by Sandy, Gerace said.
The device, which has an antenna and is a little bit larger than a cigarette pack, is the brainchild of Tom Maguire, Verizon's senior vice president of national operations support. It can quickly put a customer's home phone service back online, Maguire said. An installer puts a Voice Link box in a phone jack in a home, and it powers all the jacks in the residence, as well as picking up phone service through wireless technology, via the antenna, Maguire said in an interview Wednesday.
"This obviously cannot be damaged by falling trees," Gerace said during the panel.
He added that in making repairs of Verizon's damaged equipment in Lower Manhattan, "we took out enough copper cable to make a whole new Statue of Liberty."

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) -
Authorities in Corpus Christi are working to avoid a usual spike in car
burglaries between Thanksgiving and Christmas by targeting repeat
The Corpus Christi Caller Times reported (http://bit.ly/QAdaBb ) Sunday that investigators usually see auto burglaries increase during the holidays.
A hard-hit area is the
South Padre Island Drive corridor, heavy with malls, shops and
restaurants whose parking lots fill with vehicles.
Police officials said that
in the criminal world, a few people typically commit a majority of
crimes. So investigators expedited cases against the worst repeat
offenders, obtaining warrants for their arrest ahead of Thanksgiving.
They also worked with judges and prosecutors to get high bonds set in hopes offenders wouldn't be able to make bail quickly.
No auto burglaries were reported Thanksgiving week along South Padre Island Drive.

Three UCLA alums will suit up for the U.S. against Japan tonight in the championship game of the World Cup of Softball (6 p.m. PT, ESPN2).
Natasha Watley, Tairia Flowers and Andrea Duran all contributed to team USA's success -- the U.S. went 5-0 in pool play.
The Bruins' stats so far:
Watley (SS) 8-15 5 3 1
Flowers (1B) 5-11 3 11 2
Duran (3B) 2-10 1 1 0
Yes, that's 3/4 of team USA's infield.
This is the third year the World Cup has been played. Japan won the first one against the U.S., the U.S. won last year against Japan. Link to USA Softball release
And obviously, all three of these players had amazing success at UCLA, all playing on at least one NCAA championship team.

Movie theaters will soon have to choose to go digital, or go dark.
A theater fundraiser is underway in Rogers City to keep movies playing at the Rogers Theater.
The owner says new movies will start to come in a digital format next year.
That means all their equipment, made for film, will be outdated.
Upgrades will cost around $100,000.
The owner of the theater is asking for community support to help cover costs.
9&10's Christina Vecchioni has more details.

text: It is thought that RLS and Parkinson's disease may be caused by a similar problem, namely disruptions in the neurotransmitter dopamine. This is not fully understood, however. Regardless, RLS may be present in individuals who have Parkinson's disease, with a prevalence ranging from 0 to 20.8 percent, varying based on the study. Parkinson's disease often involves a sense of restlessness (called akathisia) that overlap with RLS, which may make it difficult to differntiate between the disorders. When both conditions are present, RLS usually occurs after Parkinson's disease has become apparent.

Andriy Mykolayovych Shevchenko, Fernando José Torres Sanz,Claudio Pizzaro not many of us have many fond memories of them in Chelsea's blue shirt.Embodiments of the Chelsea striker curse.
Presently Fernando Torres is our number 1striker or should I say number 9.I have a lot of affection for Torres and I would love to see him succeed at Chelsea but lets face it the chances for that happening at are very slim to say the least.I cannot count how many times I have heard 'Fernando Torres is back' but it has been found not to be the case.Torres started well this season scoring twice in four games,then he hit a barren patch until yesterday's where although he scored he should have had one or two more.
In the QPR, Juventus and Stoke game,we all saw the misfiring Fernando Torres we have come to get used to see for almost two years.I think its time to accept that 50 million quid was not that wisely invested and in order to move on from arguably the worst Chelsea signing in history,is to cash-in at the end of the season.We all have the hope that Torres will regain that Liverpool form that saw him rise to be the most feared striker in Europe,but to be frank deep-down most of us if not all know that this will never happen at Chelsea.I know that he will fetch a fraction of the 50 million pounds we paid for him but its better than nothing.
That said,in my opinion I would like Chelsea invest in a young talented striker as per the present transfer policy.That man to me is not Radamel Falcao,although I will certainly not complain if we do sign him I would not want us to.Why?First the price we will eventually pay for him in the transfer fees and the wages is too steep for my liking,especially in these times of FFP. Second the risk of signing a striker at his peak is not the best as we have seen at Chelsea.The striker in question has grown accustomed to the system around him,a system which has made him as big as he could ever be, moving to a new club with a different system and philosophy isn't such a good idea,the rigors of adapting maybe too much to handle, especially in the English Premier League where the media put big money strikers under the spotlight so much combine that with the big price tag and you got a hell lot of pressure to perform.In the end if the striker doesnt bring in results immediately we maybe left with another flop.Therefore Falcao/Cavani or any of that sort of stiker is a no no for me.
This is where Leandro Damiao (if I had to pick who to replace Torres) comes in.This is a young guy,whose talent cannot be questioned.I have seen enough of him to believe he will be a success.Look at Drogba we signed him just at the right time.Mourinho was building a physical team who could bully opposition teams and force a win,a team with great wingers and a great three man midfield who could pick out a target man easily and the guy on the focal point was our Didier who quite frankly was the best man for the job.My point is that we were building a new philosophy when Didier came in,he grew into the system and in the end of his career at Chelsea he is regarded as one of the best strikers to ever play in Europe.
Leandro or any other young talented striker won't come in and start banging 30+ goals per season,but that is not a problem because we have players who can bear the goal scoring burden in Hazard,Lamps,Mata,Ramires and even 1 or 2 goals our centre halfs score from time to time.By the time the striker in question fully adapts to the system,it will just be pure bliss, reminiscent of Drogba at his peak.
This is my first fan post and I know its far from perfect so be easy on me guys.

341ml Bottle - From Broue haha for around 2.50$
Appearance – Fairly clear yellow colour with an average size fizzy white coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation showing and there is some decent lacing. The head lasted for a couple of minutes.
Smell - Grains, bread, hay/straw, floral, hops, must
Taste & Mouth - The beer has an average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts mixed with grains and corn. There is also a musty hays/straw flavour that seemed to go away as i progressed through my glass. As well there was some floral hops. It ends with a grainy slightly bitter aftertaste.
Overall – There was a musty grainy taste to the beer that I didn't really care for. It somewhat reminded me of the beau's lugtread lager which I am also not a big fan of. Not a waste of money, but not something I'll buy again.

Taste is also dominated by sweet cereal notes with limited floral notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing to write home about but no brewing flaws either.

I had to vote for myself as I'm clearly the sexiest member on the poll (that awful picture notwithstanding), but I really have to protest the utter lack of BassBehemoth on the poll. I mean, I
fuck myself... technically I do three or four (or 12) times a week. If I could clone myself, I'd hit that to.
But if I were trapped in a room with my clone and BassBehemoth both trapped in a stockade with their pants down and only enough lube to violently rape one of them, I'd rocket my jizz bomb deep into BBs intestines every single time.
Trust in god, he'll give you shoes!

I need to install 5 telephones in our new offices, however, we have very limited bandwidth so I don't think a VOIP provider will be a realistic option. I have had two standard land lines installed for the time being.
Is it possible set up an internal VOIP system that can run 5 phones (and 5 simultaneous calls) over the two standard phone lines, using a IP PBX or something?
I'm a VOIP noob so please be gentile!


text: The last few weeks my writing partner Bob and I have had some brainstorming sessions. Those have definitely got my creative juices flowing again. It really makes me feel alive, like I have purpose. I started writing today and I love the feeling. I don't fully know where this book will end up as the last one started with me thinking that I would beat whatever I was dealing with and be walking again. I don't plan on this book taking nearly as long as the last one, as I have a better handle on writing a book. In a creative glow!

English as a Second Language programs have historically focused on Spanish-speaking students, but the ESL map is undergoing a dramatic transformation that is challenging K12 schools to cope with a burgeoning number of different native languages—more than 100 in some locations—as new immigrants arrive in districts across the country.
Foreign language studies could be de-emphasized statewide by a bill that would drop it as a high school graduation requirement.

Testing radiation effects emitted by cellphones was difficult to determine for Betty Aita Rukh-Kamaa, a seventh-grader at Robert Goddard French Immersion School of Prince George's County (Md.) Public Schools, but she said assembling her science fair project was much easier.

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- Many local restaurants in the Tri-Cites welcomed veterans this weekend for a free meal on the house.
The Texas Roadhouse in Kennewick is offering free food to veterans and the response has been huge. Over the weekend they served nearly a thousand vets. They're continuing the free meals through tomorrow and expect to serve another 700.
"We are, as part of the community, so thankful for all that they've done for us. Like I say, it sounds like a big gift but it's a very, very, very small gift in comparison to what they've given us," said Steve Dunn, Texas Roadhouse managing partner.
Texas Roadhouse was just one of many generous restaurants to serve veterans free meals Sunday.
Wingstop, Applebee's and Wild Horse Resort and Casino also offered meals to former military members.

I just downloaded it last night and I have already played at least 2 hours worth of it.
The above link is a collection of videos I took with my camera.
Things I noticed
Errors- They happen more often. I hit a shot to Ryan Howard and he missed it and Feliz dropped it trying to bare hand it.
Shadows- This is amazing. The shadows move during the game as time goes by. It is crazy how it works.
Players- They look at lot better this year. Their faces are mostly spot on it is getting crazy.
Stances- A lot of the stances seem to be very well done. I did not see any I had a problem with.
Pitchers- Get a jacket on base...really cool.
This game is a reason to buy a PS3....it is crazy to say that but it is 100% true.
If you want anymore footage just ask and I can take some more (example batting stances of the lineup)
