After Dark Horrorfest: The Final
Description: In the remote country of Rocky Branch, Tex., the Workley ranch house would become the infamous scene known internationally on the internet as "The Final." Dane, an awkward student with a deadly vendetta and suicidal tendencies, leads a group of outcasts who plot to avenge the years of humiliation they faced by the popular students at Hohn High School. Employing ideas inspired both from their classes as well as from horror films they watched, the outcasts turn the tables on the popular students who made sport of them. After receiving a lake-house granted to him in his uncle's will, Dane and his friends, Jack, Ravi, Andy and Emily prepare for a single night that will leave their tormentors scarred for life -- physically and emotionally.

Yo fellow HH'ers
I need a fantasy league to join and I wanted to know if any of you out there got some open spots for me. This will be only my second year doing it so I am still not sure what "type" of league I want to join. Im pretty open to whatever, though.
I reach out to HH for advice or direction towards a possible league or two to join. The number count of my close friends who are diehard baseball fans equals ONE. And he claims to be too busy to join one. I could join a league full of random people but I thought it would be cooler if a few HH readers were involved.
Also, I dont want to pay to get in. I got other fantasies to blow cash on...(wait, what?)
So whatcha think?

Authors offer story-writing techniques
A Eugene-based journalist and a Linfield alumnus shared insights into their recent books during individual author readings at the Nicholson Library.
The James Wallace Chair in Journalism at the University of Oregon, Peter Laufer, discussed concepts in investigative journalism and introduced his non-fiction trilogy during an event March 17.
Laufer's trilogy explores the concepts of animal use and abuse through stories about butterflies, exotic pets their owners, and cock- fighting.
He answered questions and discussed information gathering techniques about "The Dangerous World of Butterflies," the first book in his trilogy.
"It's a book about butterfly collecting — from true crime and poaching to heated debates between butterfly conservationists and butterfly farmers," Laufer said.
Laufer said that the subject matter of his trilogy, which uncovers uncomfortable material, such as animal abuse, made it difficult to reach sources who weren't willing to be candid and exposed in an interview setting.
"Part of the art of journalism is to get information," Laufer said. "It's almost a process of seduction to get an unwilling source to share information."
Laufer shared information gathering techniques, such as building trustworthy reputations with sources and asking them questions about themselves.
"I never lie to sources about who I am or how I'll use the information they give me, but I don't always reveal it unless I'm asked," he said.
Laufer also gave the audience insight into his writing process and how he builds a story from an initial idea.
He said that he began writing "The Dangerous World of Butterflies" after being invited to a butterfly reserve in Nicaragua.
"After going to the butterfly reserve and hearing them talk about the poaching that goes on in the butterfly world, I started to realize there was a story," Laufer said. "So I found problems and then talked to people who were creating and solving those problems."
Laufer stressed the importance of being curious about the world and constantly asking questions.
"Be careful, because once you're a journalist, you'll never stop being a journalist," he said.
Michael Huntsberger, assistant professor of mass communication, said that he enjoyed hearing about Laufer's story-building process.
"It's always a different experience for each journalist," Huntsberger said. "I like to hear people talk about how they find elements in a story and the research that goes into specific stories. It's gratifying to hear someone articulate what they do."
Junior Michael Sanchez said that he was encouraged by Laufer's work and the exhortation to constantly question things in life.
"[Laufer] reminded us that we should always be curious," Sanchez said. "It's part of our job when we want to be a voice for others."
Laurel Adams, class of '59, read excerpts from his debut novel "Two Boys" on March 15.
Adams' novel blends his own life experiences, history and a web of his daydreams into a coming-of-age story about two Oregonian boys during the Great Depression.
During the event, Adams read selected excerpts of the novel, ranging from the characters' exploration of each other's religious and cultural backgrounds to sports and hunting segments, to letters back and forth from home to the military front during World War II.
Adams said that McMinnville was the inspiration for the setting and the characters were products of his own life experiences and his imagination.
"I've always spent a lot of time dreaming," Adams said. "Whenever I'm mowing the lawn or raking leaves or loading the dishwasher, my mind is always creating stories."

Today's game was defeintly a heartbreaker but thanks to a couple other heartbreakers (OAK beating DEN) around the league we are still in decent position with regards to this whole playoff mess. I know talking playoffs isn't what many of you want to hear, Houston should be our number one consern but I think its always good to know what else is going on around the league so we know our possiblities
I'm not one to talk about where we could be as that will come during the offseason but more of where we can be and what it will take to make it happen. If we can beat the Houston in a week from today we will have a great shot at making it. This will be a really tough game. PERIOD but I believe at home with a good crowd this team can do it.
First things first we are going to need some help but looking at the games where the help is needed it actually looks really good in our favor. Each team we are cheering against might be the underdog going into the game BAL and DEN when they lineup next week. So below is the breakdown of the games still to come.
Please note I am making the assumption that we can beat both the Steelers and Texans. These are going to be very close and tough games. As I'm sure we all know one loss and we are done but if we win we would still give ourselves a chance.
This next week will be the toughest on the schedule for each team ahead of us in the current standings:
JAC v. NE - This game can go either way really and we will still have a shot. If NE wins it will give the Dolphins the upper hand in the Wild Card and if JAC wins it will leave open the possiblity of winning the division. I'm not sure who to root for in this scenario as the WildCard might be the best option we have although I would always prefer another home game and a AFC East Division Championship.
BAL v. PIT - this game is probably the most important game for the Dolphins chances of securing a WC spot. I like this game for the Dolphins simply because the Steelers are at home and just had a great win today over GB, they will be pissed and are still hoping for a shot at making the playoffs as well. Having BAL lose would give the Dolphins a shot in the arm they need as they will most likely have the tiebreaker over BAL when it is all said and done (tiebreaker would be strenght of victory).
DEN v. PHI - this game has a lot riding on it for each team so it will be intersting to see how it all plays out. This game is also a home game for our rooting team and to top it off PHI is still in a battle for the division so I doubt they will be shutting it down despite the fact they already locked up a playoff spot today. If DEN loses this game it will open the chance for the Dolphins to beat them out for a WC spot. The tiebreaker would go to stregth of victory and at this time it is still very close with DEN holding a slight edge over the Dolphins.
TEN v. SD - the truth is we need a TEN win in this game. Both DEN and BAL have beaten the Chargers this year and if our tiebreaker goes down to stength of victory we will need all the help we can get. The truth is TEN cannot catch us in the standings if we win out as there is no way there will only be 2 teams at 9-7 .. so in this scenario we would have the tiebreaker on Conferance record. GO TITIANS !!!
Other games that matter for strength of scedule in Week 16- CAR v. NYG
Week 17 games to watch that will help determine SOS - JAC v. CLE and CIN v. NYJ
So to break it down all we need is a loss by the Broncos or Ravens next week to really make things matter.
I can't wait til Sunday ... we are going to need a huge crowd to make it happen for the Dolphins next Sunday against the Texans.

Reggae goes skateboarding
IN its bid to break into the trendy skateboard market, all-reggae label VP Records has teamed with the Vans shoe company to produce an exclusive footwear endorsed by top reggae, hip-hop and American artistes.
Made from hemp, the red, green and gold Dub Rockers shoe is a promotional item for the 10-song Dub Rockers Volume 1 album, which was released by VP in August.
The set, which has songs such as Complicated Girl (Etana), No Cocaine (Capleton and Inner Circle) and Change (Alborosie and Busy Signal), is available through iTunes until February 11.
Michael McGraw, head of digital marketing for VP, described the partnership with Vans as "a very important step for us".
He added: "Reggae music is ingrained into the skateboard and surfing culture, so this is a natural fit."
Approximately 120 pairs of the shoe were produced by Vans, a leading player in the skateboard industry.
In December, hip-hop star Redman and Angelo Moore of punk/reggae band Fishbone were presented with a pair at a Dub Rockers event at Le Poisson Rouge in New York.
The skateboard/surf market is a lucrative one, especially on the United States west coast and in Hawaii, where there is a vibrant reggae market.

Soldiers of North Dakota's 818th Engineer Company are expected to land on US soil tonight. The guard will confirm their arrival as soon as the plane touches down.
A National Guard spokesman says General David Sprynczynatyk is on his way to Texas to meet the soldiers, where they will go through demobilization.
This homecoming will be bittersweet. 100 Soldiers were deployed... but only 97 come home. Two soldiers died in December.
Sgt. First Class Darren Linde of Devils Lake and Spc. Tyler J. Orgaard of Bismarck were killed December 3rd when an improvised explosive device struck their vehicle.
A third soldier, Spc. Ian Placek of Bismarck, was wounded in the attack.
The Sappers, as the Williston and Hazen-based unit is known, left last April for a year-long mission to Afghanistan to clear mines, build roads and perform of maintenance.
We'll have an update tonight at 10 with more details on the arrival of the unit.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A hearing is set for Tuesday as state election officials look into irregularities in Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett's campaign finance records.
Questions about his finances were raised after checks written by Burchett's now ex-wife Allison surfaced. The checks showed she had written the checks to herself from Mayor Burchett's campaign fund.
In an affidavit filed last week with the Bureau of Ethics and Campaign Finance, the mayor claims his ex-wife used the money to pay personal bills and credit cards.
He denies knowing about those payments, saying Allison Beaver handled their personal and campaign finances.
His affidavit also states that the mayor's ex-wife demanded more money in the divorce and when he refused, she made allegations of campaign finance violations.
Beaver has said publicly in the past that she acted at Burchett's direction.
Burchett's attorney will meet with members of the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance on Tuesday to answer questions about the campaign reports.
Penalties of up to $10,000 per offense can be assessed to candidates who have filed false campaign reports.

Healthy recipes
Fresh broad bean soup
By: WCRF UK
Preparation and cooking time:
Per serving:
Calories: 242kcals
Fat: 6.5g
Salt: 0.1g
Recipe by Rose Gray of The River Café
(serves 4)
- 2 kg/4lb 6oz very young broad beans, podded
1 kg/2lb 3oz very young peas, podded
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 spring onions, peeled and finely chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 cm cubes
A handful fresh mint, leaves removed from the stalks (retain the stalks)
2 litres/3½ pints of water or low salt chicken stock (it's best not
to use vegetable stock as this can detract from the flavour of the soup)
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- Heat the olive oil in a thick-bottomed pan. Gently fry the onion until soft and clear. Add the peas and potatoes, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add a handful of mint leaves. Pour in enough stock or water to cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add half the broad beans after 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan blanch the remaining beans and mint stalks in water and cook covered, for 2-3 minutes. Drain then discard the mint stalks.
- Put one ladle of the soup mixture in the food processor with one ladle of blanched broad beans and blend or pulse chop for a few seconds. Keep this to one side. Blend the remainder of the soup with the rest of the mint leaves. Return to the pan. Add the remaining whole broad beans and the puréed broad beans, and season the soup with pepper.
- Reheat gently and serve with the chopped fresh mint. The soup should be very thick with a combination of whole young broad beans and rough purée.
Top Tip
This soup is best when the first of the season's broad beans and peas are in the shops and are still small in the pod and bright green.

(Statewide) Sept. 23, 2005 - Governor Mark Sanford is urging drivers to remain patient and conserve fuel as Hurricane Rita creates the possibility of gas supply disruptions in South Carolina.
"A few weeks ago, South Carolinians pulled together to see us through a gas shortage following Katrina. At this point, we don't know exactly what kind of effect Rita is going to have on prices and supply."
"In the meantime, people once again need to ride to the Friday night football game with a neighbor, ride to lunch with a co-worker or ride to the grocery store with a friend from down the street.
"Also, we have to remember our neighbor at the gas pump and not attempt to fill up every five-gallon tank we've got in the back of the garage. That same kind of common-sense conservation helped get us though the previous storm, and will go a long way toward helping us weather this one."
Sanford is also urging South Carolinians to watch for price gouging and to use www.scgovernor.com to report gas prices.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSControversy Over Plants' Domestic Violence Allegations Starting To Affect Kanawha Court Cases
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Apr. 17, 2014 12:05 PM EDT
Updated: Apr. 17, 2014 6:10 PM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Bob Aaron) -- The effort by a lawyer disciplinary board to remove Kanawha County Prosecutor Mark Plants and his office from handling domestic violence cases involving parents and minor children is starting to affect the courtroom.
The prosecutor's office has filed a notice of potential conflict in some cases, which simply alerts the court to the conflict and in at least one case there has been a complete disqualification. The Office of Disciplinary Council wants Plants out of the picture and his office removed from domestic violence cases until he is.
The state Supreme Court has not acted on the disciplinary panel's request. That could happen next week. Plants is facing domestic battery allegations for spanking his son with a belt. He has argued there is no law in West Virginia baring corporal punishment. The Supreme Court meets next Tuesday through Thursday, but the broad prohibition in the disciplinary panels order is starting to get in the way. Lawyers are hoping for a Supreme Court ruling before too many cases get mired.

The surprisingly competent New York Jets get a shot to improve their standing in the AFC East as they travel to take on their unsurprisingly incompetent divisional rival, the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.
We're over halfway through the 2013 NFL season and the Jets are above .500. In one of the biggest shockers of the season, a team expected to implode under Rex Ryan has started 5-4 and sits only two games behind the first-place Patriots.
The Bills, meanwhile, are in the division's cellar at 3-7 and are coming off three consecutive losses, including last week's 23-10 defeat to Pittsburgh.
Meet the Bills
Rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel returned from a month-long injury absence last week against the Steelers and, well, looked like a rookie. He completed just 56 percent of his passes for 155 yards, a touchdown and an interception. His task of moving the ball against a tough Jets defense will be made more arduous by a banged up receiving corps -- favorite target and fellow rookie Robert Woods has been ruled out and Stevie Johnson is questionable with a groin injury. The Bills will lean on a running game that averages over 140 yards per game, but will need a better performance from running back C.J. Spiller, who rushed for just 23 yards on eight carries against the Steelers.
The Buffalo defense has not been impressive in terms of yardage and points -- categories they rank in the bottom half of the league in -- but do lead the league in interceptions. Much of the credit for those picks goes to the team's ferocious pass rush, which has racked up 33 sacks (second in the NFL). Defensive end Mario Williams leads the charge with 11, and Jerry Hughes, Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams have all gotten to the quarterback at least five times.
Meet the Jets
Rookie quarterback Geno Smith was labeled a poor cold-weather quarterback coming out of the draft, thanks largely in part to a loss in a snowy Yankee Stadium for the Pinstripe Bowl to close his college career. The numbers, however, indicate the West Virginia product will be just fine in the cold: he went 4-1 in games where the temperature dipped under 41 degrees and completed 71 percent of his passes for 1,215 yards, 10 touchdowns and no picks. Nevertheless, with his own receiving corps maimed by injuries and the hard-running duo of Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell to rely on, look for Rex Ryan to lean heavily on the run this week.
The Jets are limiting opponents to a league-best 73.8 yards per game and have dominated the line of scrimmage so far in 2013. While the defensive front gave up 120 rushing yards during a 27-20 win over the Bills in Week 3, 40 of those were to a quarterback. They dominated Spiller, who rushed 10 times for an average of 0.9 yards per carry.
Local Takes: Bills
Brian Galliford at Buffalo Rumblings used some pretty awesome slides to break down how the Jets were able to slow Spiller in Week 3, and concludes that formation monotony and poor execution by the Bills were the major contributing factors:
The first thing worth noting: a lot of Spiller's runs were packaged play, read-option calls out of very similar alignments, and New York was very clearly ready for those plays. E.J. Manuel made some poor reads in the read-option, Buffalo had plenty of blocking breakdowns against the Jets' stout front seven, and Spiller wasn't particularly effective setting up blocks or reading holes, either.
Local Takes: Jets
While Smith hasn't really wowed during his rookie season, John B. at Gang Green Nation writes that he's been a major improvement over Mark Sanchez:
Even though the passing game is below average by NFL standards, it is less inefficient than it was last year. The Jets are getting more when they throw it. One could argue that Mark Sanchez's play left the Jets with minimal chance to win over half of their games last year. While Geno Smith has had numerous ugly moments, they have at least been a little less frequent.
The biggest change has probably been the big plays the offense has produced. Geno Smith already has 29 completions of 20 yards or more and 6 completions of 40 yards or more. That puts him in the top ten in both categories. For reference, Sanchez had 34 completions of at least 20 yards and 8 of at least 40 yards in all of 2012.

I'd be surprised if Jets went after Ed Reed. I think they're pretty happy with Landry, Allen and Jarrett at safety. #nyj— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) November 12, 2013
Example: From the Week 8 picks:
The Vikings have won their last five home games. Opponents have scored 15 points or less in three of the four wins Minnesota has this season under the Metrodome's iffy roof. Much of Minnesota's success this season has to do with Adrian Peterson, who is currently on pace for his best season since 2008. Add in a stable quarterback, Percy Harvin getting his wish to be a No. 1 receiver and a stifling defense, and the Vikings aren't such a surprise after all. Tampa Bay is also a surprise, a huge disappointment. The Bucs had 500 yards of offense last week and still lost to the Saints.
The pick: 23-13, Vikings
The Bills opened as 1½-point favorites at home, though the line has since moved to even in many of the major sportsbooks, according to Oddsshark.com.
Next Week
The Jets head to Baltimore next Sunday to take on the Ravens, while the Bills rest up during a Week 12 bye.

Davidoff Moving U.S. Office to Florida
Gregory Mottola
Posted: February 2, 2010
Davidoff of Geneva (CT) Inc. is moving its U.S. headquarters and distribution center from Stamford, Connecticut, to Pinellas Park, Florida, a municipality outside of Tampa.
The move will bring Davidoff closer to all of its cigar-making operations, which are located in Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Davidoff's brands, such as Davidoff, Zino, and Avo, are made in the Dominican Republic. The brands made by its recently acquired subsidiaries Cusano and Camacho are produced in the Dominican and Honduras, respectively.
Davidoff plans on expanding a vacated building in order to accommodate its needs, which will require humidified storage rooms, business offices, and basic IT and telecommunications infrastructure.
To learn more details about the relocation, see the next Cigar Insider.

Some are calling it an epidemic.
"41 percent of high school seniors will say that they had a drink in the last 30 days," said community prevention specialist for Sheridan County Thom Gabrukiewicz.
"In 2011 there were 110 citations for Minor in Possession in the City of Sheridan and 2012 that number went up to 194," said Neal Madson with the Sheridan County Justice Office.
Wyoming's First Lady, Carol Mead, is also saying the state has an underage drinking epidemic, and recently lent her voice to a public service announcement depicting young children drinking in a bar while looking depressed. The PSA aims to encourage parents to talk honestly about alcohol use.
"What we're trying to do now in prevention is to have this message of responsibility," said Gabrukiewicz.
After watching the PSA 17-year-old Brooke Link and 15-year-old Bryel Link say using kid actors in helps drive home the point.
"It puts more effect on the commercial itself, that it's not just kids my age, of a teenager, but those kids on the commercial seemed like they were like 12," said Brooke.
"I mean like seriously, like, you're a little kid," added Bryel.
Terrill Matteson is a counselor at the Wyoming Girls School, a juvenile detention center, and has seen that early use can greatly hinder a teenager's cognitive development.
"They may hit 25, if they've been using heavily and still have the cognitive processing of a 16 year old," said Matteson.
To prevent that the media campaign advises parents to talk to their kids, and Brooke and Bryel agree that the ad is targeted at both parents and kids.
"I think kids who have parents that are alcoholics end up being an alcoholic because maybe the parent will see the kid drinking but won't thing anything about it," said Brooke.

Clinical Programs
Pediatric ICU
In the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) we deliver care for children whose condition or illness requires critical treatments, constant observation and monitoring to meet their health care needs. Our goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care using the latest technology and evidence-based medicine. The PICU admits >1,600 critically ill children each year with all kinds of medical, surgical and traumatic conditions. The PICU is staffed 24 hours a day by board-certified pediatric intensivists who specialize in the care of critically ill children. Collectively, these physicians have >120 years of experience in pediatric critical care. Because of the serious medical condition of PICU patients, these physicians are present in the unit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, together with sub-specialty support as needed.
Critical Care Team
The Critical Care Team members include:
- Pediatric Critical Care Physicians
- Pediatric Critical Care Fellows (PL-4 or higher)
- Pediatric Residents (PL-2 or PL-3)
- Pediatric Critical Care Nurses
- Pediatric Clinical Pharmacists
- Respiratory Therapists
- Clinical Nutritionists
- Occupational and Physical Therapists
- Child Life Specialists
- Medical Social Workers
We also have 24-hour spiritual care, patient advocacy, translation services and many other services for our patients and families. Occasionally, senior medical students or other subspecialty fellows may be part of the PICU team.
The newly-constructed PICU is located on the 5th Floor and contains 20 private patient rooms. Each room is spacious enough to meet the clinical needs of critically ill children and also provides space in for parents and caregivers to spend comfortable, quality time during their child's stay. Family-centered care is an integral part of our PICU, therefore each room can accommodate both parents or two caregivers at the bedside 24 hours a day. It is very comforting for children to know that their family is close by when they are recovering from surgery, trauma, or critical illness. Family members are invited to participate in daily rounds with the PICU team and contribute to their child's care plan.
To provide more room for large groups of family and friends, there is a spacious family area located just outside the clinical area on the same floor. This room provides a place where families can talk, share a meal, or just relax with others in a large group setting.
The PICU serves as a regional and national referral center for children who require the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic services. These include advanced respiratory care technologies (such as: High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation, Nitric Oxide and Heliox), Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (or peritoneal and hemodialysis), multi-modal Neuromonitoring, and others. Le Bonheur is the only hospital in the region recognized as an ECMO Center of Excellence by the International Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO). Very few hospitals have achieved this advanced level of cardiopulmonary care.
Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU)
Still considered a part of critical care, the 6th Floor Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU) delivers care to two distinct patient populations. One group includes patients whose condition requires a longer hospital stay due their dependence on medical technology to support, respiratory, nutritional, or other needs. The other group includes "step-down patients" who still require the skills of critical care nurses or physicians, but do not require the intense level of support or monitoring provided by the PICU. The IMCU is staffed by Pediatric Critical Care physicians and nurse practitioners, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, together with surgeons, pulmonary and other specialists. The IMCU nurses are specially trained in the technologic needs and psychosocial needs of children requiring prolonged or step-down intensive care and their families. Other health care team members participating in the IMCU include respiratory therapists, occupational and physical therapists, speech pathologists, pharmacists, child life specialists, medical social workers, chaplain services, patient advocate representatives, and many others.
The IMCU contains a total of 21 private patient rooms. Families are encouraged to spend as much time as possible at the bedside of their child and, if possible, participate in the daily care of their child. It is also a teaching environment where we provide technical and safety training for the parents of our technology-dependent patients before discharge from the hospital. Each room in the IMCU provides ample space so that parents and caregivers can spend comfortable, quality time during their child's stay. Each room can accommodate up to 2 parents or caregivers at the bedside 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with furniture that converts easily from sitting, to resting or sleeping. The principles of developmental care are incorporated into the routine of all patients in the IMCU.
To provide more room for large groups of family and friends, there is a spacious family area located just outside the clinical area on the same floor. This room provides a place where families can talk, share a meal, or just relax with others in a larger group setting.
Due to the long length of stay many of our technology-dependent patients, parents are encouraged to bring their child's brothers and sisters, regardless of age, to spend time with their sibling. A Child Life Specialist can help prepare brothers and sisters for visitation. This helps them feel as comfortable as possible before coming to the IMCU. Once a child's condition is improved, they will move from the IMCU to another patient care area, or possibly back to their home environment. Over the past 20 years, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital as pioneered the transition of technology-dependent children from the hospital to home.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
A heartbreaking reminder of all the devastation WWII brought: how it destroyed whole communities and families, and how an apathetic French family can continue to hide their eyes from the truth and shelter in their hearts a terrible secret.
I read this book during a trip to Paris in 2011. As i walked those cobbled streets I thought of all the conquering, fighting, manipulating, and travesty those beautiful streets had (and do) witnessed--and the legacy that we Westerners are left with in the 21st century. The question I am left with, is forgetting the only way to move on? How much of an omission of guilt on behalf of our elders, our past, are we, the present, to live with? Can we possibly move on, or atone, for another generations' terrible acts? And of the sacrifices made--who benefits, and who utterly looses?
This is a brilliantly and compelling portrait of occupied France during WW11. The plot follows the Starzinski family after the French police raided their apartment on July 16, 1942 and arrested ten year old Sarah and her parents during the Vel'd'Hiv Roundup. In a parallel plot Julia Jarmond, an American journalist is tasked to write an article to honour the 60th anniversary of this terrible day and the subsequent events that took place.
The story surrounds two time periods and alternates point of views throughout the book. The main story and action takes place in Paris and as the story progresses not only do we discover factual information but we also are on an emotional coaster ride.
Sarah's story is told from the time of her arrest and intertwines with Julia's quest to learn about the people that had been corralled at Vel' d'Hiv during "Operation Spring Breeze"as it was known. Despite being 60 years apart they author excelled in drawing the two eras smoothly together. The roundup and deportation of some 11,000 French Jews to death camps is obviously a touchy subject and the author elegantly shines light by carefully detailing the facts about the true events.
Although a fiction, this is a worthwhile novel that approaches the Holocaust in a different way. In whole Sara's story is a fast-read with tight and brisk chapters. The prose is fluid and strong and her story is engaging, informative and very emotional. She is a strong and adorable character. On the other hand those of Julia are light more chick-lit style and distract from the importance of the main story. I love Sarah's part but Julia ruined my experience from the get-go. Her personal story was annoying, very predictable and quite cheesy. Her character is inconsistent and superficial IMO.
Having said this I nevertheless like this novel for its message and its frank look at a nation and people who for so long would not come to grip with its complicity in sending its own citizens to die in Nazi concentration camps.
I will definitely read more books by this author
I had the same problem with this book as I had with "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet." It's an important story to tell, but I wish it had been told better.
I am so very tired of the narrative device of flipping back and forth between two time periods. Here, there's something of a mystery about the connection between the little Jewish girl rounded up in Paris in 1942 and the 40-year-old woman redecorating her grandmother-in-law's apartment in Paris in 2002. But it's a mystery easily figured out. In fact, nearly everything that happens to the 2002 woman is pretty predictable.
The first half of the book flips between the two narratives too quickly, with very short chapters that compel you to read on. The story is completely engaging anyway. I found it to be a real page-turner and I was very eager to find out what was going to happen to Sarah.
Sarah, by the way, is the name of the little girl in 1942, which for some inexplicable reason the author waits to tell us for an awfully long time. It's the name of the book; we know she has a key; we know her name is Sarah.
There's something sort of forced about the description of the detention center. I didn't really feel like I was seeing it through Sarah's eyes, but rather the eyes of someone who had researched it and was now regurgitating the facts as reported.
The second half of the book is entirely through the eyes of the 2002 woman, Julia, as she finds out what happened to Sarah. The chapters are still artificially short, though. I don't really understand why the chapters end where they do, because the next chapter picks up exactly where it left off.
I'm happy to have learned about the Vel' d'Hiv roundup, but I wouldn't really recommend the book.
Eh. Plot was an A, writing about a B-. It got better as the book went on (or maybe I was just better distracted by the plot?), but I generally found de Rosnay's writing style mildly irritating. There was one section of the book, in particular, in which the portions written in Julia's voice were so filled with sentences of exactly the same, short, choppy length that I thought I'd go insane. But it wasn't consistent enough to appear to be Julia's "voice." It was just distracting and odd. de Rosnay's also a fan of my least favorite literary device, the subjectless sentence. I don't mind it once in a while, but when every other period ought to be a comma, we have a problem.
Also, the convention of leaving "the girl" and her family nameless until nearly halfway through the book got in its own way after a point. Additionally, it ended at a strange spot. I understood why it might have made sense to leave her unnamed throughout the description of the vel' d'Hiv, so that she might have been any child, and her story might have been that of any of the nearly 10,000 who went through that horrific experience. But if that was the reasoning (and I can't imagine any other function), it would have made far more sense to be done with it and reveal her name once she and Rachel left, and Sarah's story became very much her own. Waiting until later than that was just overkill.
Overall not a bad book at all.
Some editing issues (names changed spelling, dates didn't make sense in one place), but nothing dire, though it bespeaks of a level of sloppiness.
My main complaint is that although I enjoyed reading the book I never felt very connected to the characters, at best it was an intermittent and light connection. For a topic like the Holocaust I found this somewhat jarring.
The flow was uneven as well. In parts it felt rushed and choppy, particularly near the end, where it felt like the author was simply hurrying to meet a deadline, skipping over quite a bit
"Tatiana de Rosnay offers a brilliantly subtle, compelling portrait of France under occupation and reveals the taboos and silence that surround the painful episode in that country's history. De Rosnay's U.S. debut fictionalizes the 1942 Paris roundups and deportations, in which thousands of Jewish families were arrested, held at the Velodrome d'Hiver outside the city, then transported to Auschwitz. Forty-five-year-old Julia Jarmond, American by birth, moved to Paris when she was 20 and is married to the arrogant, unfaithful Bertrand Tezac, with whom she has an 11-year-old daughter. Julia writes for an American magazine and her editor assigns her to cover the 60th anniversary of the Vel' d'Hiv' roundups. Julia soon learns that the apartment she and Bertrand plan to move into was acquired by Bertrand's family when its Jewish occupants were dispossessed and deported 60 years before. She resolves to find out what happened to the former occupants: Wladyslaw and Rywka Starzynski, parents of 10-year-old Sarah and four-year-old Michel. The more Julia discovers — especially about Sarah, the only member of the Starzynski family to survive — the more she uncovers about Bertrand's family, about France and, finally, herself. Already translated into 15 languages, the novel is De Rosnay's 10th (but her first written in English, her first language). It beautifully conveys Julia's conflicting loyalties, and makes Sarah's trials so riveting, her innocence so absorbing, that the book is hard to put down." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
This is without a doubt the best book I've ever read. I was actually reading it during finals today, and I reached the saddest part in the book and began to cry. This book touched me and made me think like no other book ever has.

Was listening to 610AM this afternoon and they said that CB Tyron Brackenridge was having surgery on his jaw today after getting into an altercation at a nightclub called "Envy".
Reportedly he was with several other Kansas City Chiefs players when they began being harrassed by another group. Brackenridge was punched in the face, causing unknown injuries to his jaw. The story so far is that the Chiefs players were essentially jumped by the other group and were doing nothing wrong.
No arrests have been made and the police have said they have no intention of arresting any Chiefs players at this time. Will post more as I find it.

There weren't many treats given out with the Powerball drawing on Halloween night. No one matched all the numbers drawn in the multi-state lottery game Wednesday, and the jackpot increased from an estimated $110 million to $124 million.
The winning numbers in Wednesday night's drawing were: 01 - 27 - 31 - 45 and 48, and the Power Ball number was 05.
The closest anyone in Illinois came to the jackpot was the one person who matched four of five numbers and the Powerball, for a $10,000 prize, according to the Illinois Lottery. Another 23 Illinois Powerball players matched four of five numbers and 58 players matched three of five numbers and the Powerball. Those 81 players will each receive $100.
The next Powerball drawing will be held on Saturday night.

One of the biggest rookie mistakes in racing is going out too fast in the beginning of the race. Most runners have at least one story about a race when they felt so great during the first few miles that they ran ahead of pace, only to crash and burn during the final miles. The problem is that if you go out too fast, you'll burn through your stored energy too quickly and your muscles will fatigue faster, leaving you feeling tired and depleted toward the end of your race.
The racing solution: Here are some ways that you can avoid going out too fast:
- Deliberately run your first mile slower than you plan to run the final one. It's tough to do, since you'll most likely feel really strong in the beginning. But keep in mind that for every second you go out too fast in the first half of your race, you could lose as much as double that amount of time in the second half of your race.
- Try to make sure you're in the correct starting position. Don't start yourself with faster runners because you'll most likely try to keep up with them.
- Start your race at a comfortable pace and make sure you check your watch at the first mile marker. If you're ahead of your anticipated pace, slow down. It's not too late to make pace corrections after just one mile.
- Keep telling yourself that lots of other runners are going to pass you in the first mile. But you'll be passing a lot more later in the race.
- Practice starting out slow during training runs. When you do your long run each week, try to hold back during the first few miles, so you get used to the discipline of not going out too fast.
How to Finish Races Stronger and Faster

Plaistow mother, boyfriend face witness-tampering charges in abuse case
Jessica Linscott, 23, now faces the prospect of state prison time after first being charged with six misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Her boyfriend, Roland Dow, 27, is headed to trial next month on charges of first- and second-degree assault for allegedly striking 3-year-old James Nicholson in the head and burning the boy's wrists and fingers.
The couple's latest troubles came to light during a bail hearing for Linscott Wednesday morning. Linscott and Dow remained on the run for two weeks beginning in late November until they were apprehended by U.S. Marshals at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.
Judge Marguerite Wageling denied a request by Linscott on Wednesday to have phone and in-person contact with her son.
Wageling decided that Linscott will be able to write letters to her son, but they first must be sent to county prosecutors before being passed on to the boy's therapist. Prosecutors say they obtained a computer video file that recorded Dow and Linscott talking to the boy on Oct. 23 just prior to a well-being check by a worker from the Department of Children, Youth and Families.
"Roland Dow and Jessica Linscott are speaking at different times," said Michael J. Zaino, assistant Rockingham County attorney. "The conversation ranges over lots of topics, but (includes) very specifically what he is allowed to say, what he is not allowed to say. He is not allowed to say he knew she was coming. It ranges from whether he gets bloody noses, whether he gets spanked, this takes up a span of 20 minutes."
Part of Wednesday's hearing was determined to be non-public by Wageling. Instead of holding the hearing in chambers, she called lawyers, Linscott and a witness to the bench. Wageling spent several minutes talking to the witness called by the defense, and then had lawyers make their arguments in open court. State law allows for matters concerning the Division of Children, Youth and Families to be shielded from the public.
Linscott and Dow are expected to each face two counts of witness tampering for the computer video recovered by investigators. Zaino said the file was recovered while executing a search warrant for a computer.

Giving toys to children with special needs presents parents with a unique set of challenges. Here are some things to consider:
- Buy the best. The best toys for children with special needs usually are the ones that have been deemed so by the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, an independent guide to children's media. Each of these toys receives special distinction as a Special Needs Adaptable Product, or SNAP.
- Read the label. Research the manufacturer of your toy or what materials were used to manufacturer it; especially when buying plastic toys. Toy manufacturers report recalls everyday based on cheaply made items that may contain lead or other harmful elements. Any plastic toy that is dishwasher safe, PVC, Latex and Phthalates free will be best.

|SREL Reprint #0908
of Activity and Movement in the Yellow-bellied Slider Turtle (Pseudemys scripta)
J. Morreale, J. Whitfield Gibbons, and Justin D. Congdon
Activity levels throughout the year and movement
patterns of individually marked slider turtles (Pseudemys scripta)
were studied in three aquatic systems on the Savannah River Plant in South
Carolina. An hypothesis was
proposed to explain the differential movements and activity levels of the sexes,
based on the assumption that reproductive strategies modify movements and
activity. Males were more active
than females in early spring and late autumn.
Significantly more males exhibited both terrestrial movements and aquatic
movements >1 km. In addition,
the longest movements were made exclusively by males.
These data support the hypothesis that patterns of activity in this
species are associated with differential reproductive strategies of the sexes.

For the third time this week police are investigating an incident involving a possible serial fondler in Fairfax County.
Police say that the latest incident happened on Thursday, December 13 at around 5:45 p.m. in the 6000 block of Hibbling Avenue. A 43-year-old woman was walking when police say a man grabbed her from behind and touched her.
The woman turned and yelled at the man and he fled the area.
Investigators say the suspect wore a black jacket, black pants and was between 20 and 30 years old.
Earlier on Thursday, an incident involving a 23-year-old woman on Floyd Avenue near Erving Street was reported. That woman reported a man ran up behind her and fondled her before fleeing.
The first reported incidents occurred in early September of this year.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477, e-mail at http://www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org/ or text "TIP187" plus your message to CRIMES/274637 or call Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

Great Link from Gang Green Nation with video: http://www.ganggreennation.com/2010/3/29/1395873/scouting-the-draft-danthony-smith
Took some time off from this section just to refresh, it actually does become hard work researching some of these prospects. However they should be back, and on a regular schedule again now, so I though a perfect place to start was with a guy who is probably a little better than people give him credit for. That being D'Anthony Smith, a 6-2, 304lb defensive tackle out of Louisiana Tech.
As far as I can see there are no character concerns with Smith, however there was one big red flag for me which makes me think twice about even looking at the guy. I read numerous times, they he doesn't play with much 'intensity', may lack 'motivation', and doesn't play with any 'aggression'. There are numerous ways to look at this, but after Vernon, those three key words would be enough to make me pass. However he possesses a lot of talent, and he is a guy that is worthy of a good look.
Career Stats
2006- 13 games played, 38 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, 0.5 sacks
2007- 11 games played, 43 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks
2008- 13 games played, 65 tackles, 8.0 tackles for a loss, 5.0 sacks
2009- 12 games played, 51 tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks
Named first team all WAC in 2008 and 2009.
So what does Anthony Smith do well?
Smith is a very athletic player who uses his hands well in all departments, including getting his hands in the air to swat balls. Has a nice initial burst off the snap, and does have several pass rushing moves, although he tended to rely on his bull rush a lot in college. However I attribute that to it being so effective. Has quick feet and good lateral agility, has good speed for his size to track some plays down. Good against the run and plays with good pad level, very stout and has a strong lower body. Extremely durable and doesn't wear down much. A good tackler who won't miss too many and for people saying he lacks some violence to his game, he sure does plant some backs onto the floor once he gets hold of them, and gets good penetration into the backfield.
What are the concerns with Smith?
He doesn't seem to love the game on the outside, not a 'beat your chest' type player, and his motivation and intensity has been questioned, and for me those are big red flags straight away. Remains to be seen whether he will adapt his other pass rush moves when his bull rush is not as effective at the next level. Doesn't always have the best awareness, and he is inconsistent.
Final Word
What I hear about Smith and what I see from him don't really arrive at the same destination. Coming in I thought he was quite an intense player, and his tackling has been more than violent in the past, he is also quite violent in trying to shed blocks. He is definitely a work in progress, but he has definite upside, and with the right coaches he could be a very good player. He has good athletic ability, he has good lateral movement, and looks like he may have good flexibility as well, he played as a 3-4 NT and 4-3 DT in college, and I think he has the tools to also move outside to play a 3-4 DE. So that is some serious versatility there, and for a team that likes to give different looks he could offer some value. I have read that he is projected to go in the 3rd or 4th round, potentially slipping to the 5th at the very lowest, and some mockers say he has 2nd round talent. It depends where we go with our first picks, but he is an interesting prospect if he is sitting there in the 4th and especially in the 5th. Not saying I want him, but not against the idea either, undecided on Smith.
Bleacher Report: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/383537-2010-nfl-draft-dt-danthony-smith-fits-jacksonville-jaguars-history
With the 74th pick in this year's draft, the Jaguars kept that trend alive. After their surprising decision to nab defensive tackle Tyson Alualu in the first round, the team chose Louisiana Tech's D'Anthony Smith to further fortify that spot on the depth chart.
"Smith doesn't have the rare size or athleticism to warrant a first round grade,"according to NFLDraftScout.com , "but he ranks among the more intriguing second tier defensive tackle prospects of the 2010 draft."
At 6'2" and 305 pounds, Smith impressed scouts from several NFL teams with a 35" vertical leap and 9'5" broad jump at Louisiana Tech's pro day in March-both numbers suggestive of unusual explosiveness for his frame.
Coupled with Smith's 30 bench presses of 225 pounds, Jacksonville's newest addition can't be considered unathletic.
FFToolbox: http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=2178
Despite starting the last 44 games of his collegiate career, D'Anthony Smith has largely gone under the radar. Louisiana Tech was not exactly a powerhouse in the Western Athletic Conference during Smith's tenure, but the defense was pretty good at times and Smith played a big part in that. Even as a true freshman Smith earned eight starts. After that he was a staple in the starting lineup. He was a two time first-team all-conference award winner and ended his career with 12.5 sacks and 23.5 tackles-for-loss; which is not bad at all for a tackle. Smith does not lack in strength and agility. He has great lateral quickness and simply makes plays. His experience in a 4-3 defense and a 3-4 defense even gives him some versatility, although he will not exactly fit in most 3-4 schemes in the NFL. Yet, he did play some nose tackle with the Bulldogs when they were in the nickel package. What is keeping Smith down most draft boards are his intangibles. He does not always play with a nastiness that NFL teams would like to see. He has the talent and experience to be in the regular rotation of defensive tackles at the next level right away, but his lack of intensity could cause big problems sooner than later. However, if he can prove that he is ready and willing to be a tough, hard nosed defensive tackle, he could be a steal in the third or fourth round.
Interesting Fan Draft Scouting Report: http://www.falcfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=12682
D'Anthony Smith
6-2/304 Louisiana Tech Senior
PROS: Flashes a nice first step with good upfield quickness. Closes on the quarterback when he gets penetration. Shows a nice swim move as well as potential as a bull rusher. Has a nice motor and can make plays laterally. Shows good athleticism and range potential there. Has ability to get leverage vs. the run and can make the stop at the point of attack.
CONS: Struggles when facing double teams and tends to get pushed off the ball in those situations. Has trouble disengaging from blocker. Doesn't have great quickness and it shows when he moves outside to defensive end.
OVERVIEW: Flashes potential, but not always a consistent disruptive presence. A four-year starter that finished college career with 12.5 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss. Best year was as a junior where he had 5 and 8, respectively.
NFL FORECAST: Smith can be a bit of a tease. You will like his athleticism and he'll show potential, but I don't see the consistency and the dominating presence. He fits best as a 3-technique in a 4-3, as I'm not sure he possesses the ability to adapt well to other spots or schemes. Has experience playing end, but doesn't show ability to thrive there. Smith is one of those players that because of his upside, I could see him coming into his own several years down the road. But it also wouldn't surprise me that he gets off to a slow start in the NFL, and is a much better player for his second or third team than the one that drafts him. He needs development, and if he goes to a team with solid coaching and plays beside some other talent up front, I think his chances of earlier success are higher. But I'd be surprised if he's anything more than a rotational guy his first two or three seasons. He's a guy that you develop long-term. I'm not sure he'll be an impact pass rusher, but has the potential to be a guy that can be a 5-8 sack guy.

Fog and ice snarled traffic across the South Plains overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning.
Emergency crews responded to a 7-car pileup on I-27 south of New Deal early Thursday. Law enforcement shut down southbound lanes and diverted traffic. Minor injuries were reported.
Sergeant Bryan Witt with Department of Public Safety said they responded to a total of 8 accidents overnight and Thursday morning. Several cars crashed on West Loop 289 and the Marsha Sharp Freeway. Police alerted drivers about multiple accidents on West Loop 289 from Frankford through 34th and near 19th street. Accidents were also reported on northbound Loop 289 near the Marsha Sharp Freeway, on the MSF overpass, and at the intersection of the MSF and I-27.
Officer King with LPD said since midnight they have responded to 20-25 accidents. Minor and moderate injuries were reported with UMC reporting 1 person in critical condition.
Both Officer King and Sgt. Witt said the majority of the accidents occurred on overpasses as overpasses and bridges have a higher tendency to freeze over first. Sgt. Witt advised drivers to be careful, check weather conditions before heading out, follow the speed limit and buckle up.

You all know I occasionally post missing kid reports particularly if it's local to me. This girl goes to school in the community where my three restaurants are and a lot of people are worried. Since she's probably a runaway no Levi's Call will be issued.
Brittany Collins was last seen on 12/18/2011 in Villa Rica. She was wearing blue pajama pants, blue shirt, and a pink Aeropostale jacket. Brittany is 5'6, 150 lbs, with black hair and hazel eyes. She is 15 year old. If seen please contact Detective Seagraves 678-840-1321 or Villa Rica Police Department at 770-459-5149.
By: Villa Rica Police Department
Updated 12/21/11 – The local newspaper here, the Time-Georgian, finally has an article up about Brittany Collins. According to the newspaper it definitely seems to be a runaway case and that when she was discovered missing she had left a note behind for her family.
Updated 12/24/11 – Brittany was found safe at a local home earlier this week. She is being charged as an Unruly Juvenile and a Runaway after the Villa Rica PD spent 37 man-hours on the case searching for her.

The 30th Annual Labor Day Festival in Olive Branch, Illinois kicked off Monday.
A man struck in the face while a patient at the Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute last week has been ruled a homicide, according to police.
Police said Billy Joe Newman, 67, of Clarksville, was forcefully struck in the face and knocked off his feet while a MTMHI patient on Aug. 4.
Newman was transported by ambulance to Summit Medical Center after the incident. On Monday he was transferred to a Montgomery County nursing home where he died on Tuesday.
The medical examiner has determined that Newman's cause of death was from complications caused by the Aug. 4 assault.
Police have determined that Kevin Beasley, 23, a man known for violent crimes in East Nashville, was unprovoked when he intentionally and forcefully hit Newman in the face with his elbow in a facility area adjacent to a nurse's station. Newman fell backwards, hit the floor and was knocked unconscious.
The state, which operates MTMHI, would not comment on the death.
"We are unable to comment at this time regarding an ongoing investigation, except to say that our thoughts go out to the victim's family," said Michael Rabkin, director of communications for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance AbuseServices.
Police reviewed the case with the district attorney's office on Thursday and issued an arrest warrant charging Beasley with criminal homicide.
Beasley is at MTMHI after being acquitted by reason of insanity of a July 2011 attempted murder.
In that case, police said Beasley had stolen an ATV from a construction site, drove into East Park and deliberately ran over a man sitting on the lawn. He then stopped, backed up, and ran over the victim a second time. The victim, Arvid Todd, who had no prior interaction with Beasley, was critically injured.
Beasley was later identified as the suspect in the unprovoked June 2011 stabbing of a 60-year-old woman as she pushed her granddaughter in a stroller on Fatherland Street. The assailant inexplicably stabbed the victim once in the neck with a steak knife and fled. Beasley was charged with attempted murder in that case. A judge recently suppressed Beasley's statement to police in regard to the stabbing. The district attorney's office is appealing the suppression.
Beasley will be transported from MTMHI to the Metropolitan Justice Center in the near future to be booked on today's criminal homicide warrant.
