The 1950s-set world of Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven is all about rules: rules of appropriate deportment and behavior; rules about emotional expression and its limits; rules governing what racial and sexual lines can and cannot be crossed. Taking his inspiration from the era's Hollywood melodramas, particularly those directed by Douglas Sirk, Haynes set himself guidelines that were no less strict. "The melodrama of the 50s was a specific cinematic world with a language unto itself," says the writer-director. "I think for creative people, working within limitations and rules can be very inspiring — this is your language, now you apply it to your story."
The rules control every aspect of the film, "from the writing to the design to the actors," Haynes continues. "It was as if there were only available to us a certain range of gestures, of phrases, of colors, of angles, of ways of framing an actor that we would use. Then we would try to find the meaning behind them. It's about restraint, and about how small things can be big."
One thing it's not about is parodying the 1950s "woman's" picture. "I've always loved these films, and I've thought about them on other films I've made," says the director, whose previous, highly regarded independent features include Superstar (starring a Barbie doll as Karen Carpenter), Poison, Safe, and Velvet Goldmine. He elaborates that unlike movies with amazing, heroic women played by Katharine Hepburn or Bette Davis, Sirk dramas like All that Heaven Allows or Imitation of Life "are about very ordinary women. They don't look ordinary — they're dressed to the nines. But they don't save the day; they basically cave in. I find that very poignant."
The story of Far from Heaven starts out as vintage Sirk, then ventures into areas that could be, at most, implied during the 50s. Cathy Whitaker (Julianne Moore) is a model housewife and mother in suburban Hartford, CT. Her husband Frank (Dennis Quaid) is a successful executive with the Magnatech TV sales company; he's also beginning to act on desires for other men. Feeling isolated and inadequate, Cathy finds comfort in the friendship of Raymond Deagan (Dennis Haysbert), her black gardener. Tongues wag, and most of the characters' longings are suppressed.
Particularly echoing All that Heaven Allows, in which well-to-do widow Jane Wyman falls for much-younger gardener Rock Hudson, Far from Heaven also nods to the racial issues raised by Imitation of Life, and mixes in some elements from Written on the Wind. While Haynes was well acquainted with the Sirk oeuvre, some of his key collaborators had to get up to speed. "I didn't grow up on Sirk, so it was a big education for me," says production designer Mark Friedberg, who worked seamlessly with director of photography Edward Lachman and costume designer Sandy Powell to create Far from Heaven's hermetic, intensely hued universe. "This is an aesthetic that is foreign to me in every way: The architecture, the furniture, are things I've never paid attention to except to avoid them. But once I spoke the language of the world Cathy lives in, her environment started flowing out of me naturally."
Friedberg, whose previous credits include The Ice Storm and Pollock, found the experience of working with Haynes, who majored in art and semiotics at Brown University, to be stimulatingly unique. "What you usually do is chip away at the block of granite that is the director, and try to expose what the forms are," says the designer. "But Todd had a very clear sense of things. Maybe because he started as a painter, the way the film looks was written into the script. You clearly saw the places where it was happening, and what the characters were wearing."
Where Far from Heaven is happening is not really Hartford in the 50s, says Haynes, "but backlot, soundstage Hollywood, and its interpretation of Hartford in the 50s. We looked at what would be real about Hartford, but always adapted it to what Hollywood of the 50s' vision would be."
The film was shot in neither Hollywood nor Hartford, but in New Jersey: interiors on a military base in Bayonne, exteriors in the prosperous community of Ho-Ho-Kus. The Whitakers' two-story house, with its open views from front to back and its staircase and wraparound balcony, was the most important interior set, and since Haynes had so clearly imagined the scenes to be staged there, the matching exterior had to meet a number of requirements. "I started out thinking the house should be a New England colonial," says Haynes. "But doing location scouts, we very quickly found that the interiors of more traditional homes were little boxes of rooms, with no views that went through the whole house. Mark helped me to adjust those initial ideas, and expand it to a combination of colonial and modern ranch": more like an L.A. house of the period.
The exterior eventually settled on met the set's needs perfectly: The house had the big picture window in front providing a frame for looking in and outside, and it was on a block the production designer describes as "preplanned, pristine, looking like a set."
According to Friedberg, a guiding principle behind the movie's design was, "We wanted to make the locations feel more like sets, and the sets feel more like … not locations, but a constructed reality, a perception of reality seen through artifice." Such is the unity of the look that one assumes the vivid autumn leaves in the film's opening shot, and which figure throughout, were created by the art department. In truth, the shoot was carefully scheduled (over two months in 2001, not long after 9/11, which effectively cut two weeks off the preproduction period) to take advantage of the fall foliage. "People think the trees are fake, and they think [the interior of] the house is real," says Haynes.
In addition to the aesthetic parameters he was stringently following, the director also found the film's budgetary restrictions — it cost $14 million, a pittance for a period movie — to be beneficial in ways. "We wanted the locations to be as controlled as possible, and we wanted a sense of claustrophobia that didn't exist just in the house but also out in the world," he says. "The economic limitation actually contributed to that — we couldn't see past storefront number 3, because we couldn't dress beyond storefront number 3." Adds Friedberg, "Almost all of the work we did is in the movie, which is unusual, and which makes it seem more expensive. We dressed to the edge, and we shot up to that edge."
Interior decoration was more challenging. The designer says, "In this highly controlled world, everything has to feel it's of a time. On top of that, we're dealing with a relatively high economic level, so the stuff has to be good. That's fine, except that we had very little money or time." Avoiding the pricey vintage shops in New York City, set decorator Ellen Christiansen went "deep into New Jersey" to troll the thrift stores and antique malls. "We bought old furniture that had the right shape, and refinished it or recovered it, so that it looked new, and we could control the palette and the kind of fabric we wanted," says Friedberg. "It was almost building it from scratch, to the point where we couldn't use our normal vendors, because of what they charged. We actually used a local Bayonne upholsterer."
Even the techniques of set dressing conformed to the 50s Hollywood model. "The set dressers would do what they usually did," says Haynes. "The characters have just gotten out of bed, so they'd have the sheets crumpled, a cigarette in the ashtray, a glass on the edge of the table. I'd go, 'Wait a minute, this is all about Hollywood: It has to be neat and tidy. The bedcovers need to be fake open.' What's great is, you don't learn only about this particular type of filmmaking; you learn about what you always do. Naturalistic filmmaking is a set of rules unto itself."
Uncomfortable Comfort
From set decoration to costume design, everyone kept in mind that "Cathy is the person that made her world look the way it looked," says Friedberg. "She chose the colors, bought the furniture. We decided to never put down her world, that it has to feel great to her." But Cathy is a woman both comfortable in her environment, and uncomfortable because of what she's not allowed to do and say. Powell's costumes for the character reflect the dichotomy: Moore looks both beautiful in and confined by the form-fitting bodices and full skirts. The latter had one side benefit — they helped hide the actress' progressing pregnancy during shooting.
Palette was a crucial part of the universe being created by the filmmakers, as it was in the Sirk melodramas. "One thing we did in preproduction was, Todd and Ed and Sandy and I translated the script into color," says Friedberg. "Where it says, 'Cathy walks down the hall and opens the door,' we said, 'Cathy walks down the amber hall wearing a navy blue skirt and lit by a warm light.'" Powell dressed Moore primarily in light tones (a lilac scarf is her talisman), then dramatically contrasted it with a burgundy lace and taffeta number she wears while hosting a party. Complementary colors and an interplay of warm and cool color temperatures are used as consistently as in All that Heaven Allows. "One reason we lit and painted the living room warm," says the production designer, "was the predominance of night" — a deep, periwinkle blue night — "outside the window."
Far from Heaven's extremes of color, like the florid tones of Elmer Bernstein's music, work in stylistic counterpoint to the film's emotional restraint, and perhaps express the feelings the characters can't. DP Lachman gelled his lights to a much stronger degree than is seen in most contemporary movies, and contrasted them with shadows of a near-noir hardness. The lighting is particularly striking in two settings that serve related functions: the gay bar visited by Frank, and a black restaurant where Raymond takes Cathy. "The lighting for both scenes used a green and purple kind of contrast," says Haynes, "yet they have opposite effects. The gay bar uses a vibrant magenta and a kind of acidic green, while the black bar has warm green and deep purple. One is scary, the other romantic." Friedberg observes, however, that both environments are "places where emotional restraint is not present": where the rules break down.
Haynes says that smart viewers can bring a lot of preconceptions to his film. "People ask me, 'How did you make it turn from the funny part at the beginning to when it gets serious?'" he says. "But it's you who's doing that. The only camp moment I can think of experiencing was during the Christmas sequence — just seeing that Christmas dress Sandy made, and the fire going and the snow falling and the eggnog, made me laugh." Otherwise, he says, "The fact that it's moving has everything to do with the fact that we had tremendous respect for the characters and their world, even if it wasn't to our taste."

The celebrated Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometric effect
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Determine the expectation values of the product of the number operators
Explain your result.
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
I've got the expectation value as zero, and i've been told that is correct but i can't explain how. The N_a and N_b refer to the two photons or modes after the beam splitter (i think)(mode zero would be before the beam splitter) so i don't know why they seem to disappear after the beam splitter and why the expectation value (is this the average value of the intensity at one of the detectors?) is zero. I would have expected it to be either:
1 - because of the HOM effect the two input photons will merge into one photon with double intensity and since there are two detectors, and the odds of being detected at either is 50-50, the average value at either is half of 2 = 1.
2 - This is if the expectation value only takes into account one of the detectors when the doubled intensity photon is detected..maybe?

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, known as Freddie Mac, announced Friday that it will provide mortgage servicers the power to grant unemployed homeowners who have Freddie Mac-backed mortgages a one-year break on their mortgage payments, the Chicago Tribune reports. The change takes effect February 1 and allows mortgage servicers to provide six months of relief without Freddie Mac approval and six months more with approval — a six-month increase over the current policy. Fannie Mae, the other mortgage provider, is expected to announce a similar policy later. Seriously delinquent mortgages rose sharply in September, and home foreclosures jumped 21 percent in the third quarter of 2011.

Titles and Abstracts
Ziony Zevit (American Jewish University)
"Jesus, God of the Hebrew Bible"
The Hebrew Bible presents God in many dichotomous ways: present-absent, visible-invisible, caring about an individual/Israel-not caring, imminent-transcendent, responsive to prayer/sacrifice-not responsive, dependable-not dependable. Not all of these fit neatly into theological categories such as omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, or kind, merciful, forgiving, welcoming. By the Persian Period, God was considered more absent than present, more transcendent than immanent, less caring and involved than their opposites. During the Greco-Roman periods many factors fomented crises in emergent Judaism. Israelite exposure to Hellenistic pessimism and skepticism raised issues bearing on theodicy and death, e.g. Ecclesiastes; questions about the appropriateness of the Jerusalem priesthood raised issues of the efficacy of Temple sacrifice after the rise of the Hasmonean dynasty; the persisting diasporas raised issues of broken promises to ancient prophets; social turmoil raised issues of religious authority; Jewish teachings about the primal sin of Adam and Eve since the second century BCE raised issues of blighted souls; Greco-Roman authority raised issues of whether or not a New Age had dawned. Depending on their intellectual predispositions and predilections, and their religiosity, different individuals found some issues more significant than others. This determined their religious politics and associates. This paper argues that the claims of Jesus as God would not have seemed unreasonable to those whose religious politics were determined by a particular view of God in the Hebrew Bible and by a unique understanding of the New Age.
James F. Moore (Valparaiso University)
"The Amazing Mr. Jesus: Recovering the Jewish Jesus in Christian Scriptures"
The Christian scriptures have a picture of Jesus that clearly has been influenced by a post-Easter perspective already present in the texts of the Christian Gospels. We can call this a Christian theology and this shapes both the material used and the framework in which it appears. Of course, the history of Christian thought also has constructed various frames which shape how Christians (and the churches) read even these narratives. Much of that history saw attempts to view Jesus as an abstracted, transcendent figure shaped mainly by the dogmatic statements of the fourth and fifth century councils. Naturally, this history ignored and sometimes intentionally denied the actual Jewishness of Jesus. This has led scholars even very recently to despair that any authentic recovery of the "historical" Jesus is next to impossible. Any sense that the texts can give us how Jesus fit (or fits) in Judaism (particular the Judaism of his time) seems hopeless given all of this. However, we have texts that give us a narrative about this Jesus and these texts do give clues that Jesus, the teacher, was thoroughly in tune with various components of Judaism of his time. Thus, we might make an effort to recover this Jesus by following a path I have identified as a midrashic approach which re-inserts the teaching into the context of the Torah texts. If we do this, we might also be able to assess just what shape such a picture of Jesus takes as a Jewish teacher and whether such a recovery can be of use to contemporary Judaism and, especially, to the churches. This paper aims toward this kind of recovery and makes an attempt at answering these questions.

"Avon Gilyon or Euagelon?"
My expertise in New Testament lies in the Synoptic Gospels, the Epistles of Paul and the Epistle of James and the Epistle to the Hebrews. With the exception of James, all the others in my list are without doubt out and out attempts to show that the Mosaic Covenant with the Jews has expired and that the risen Messiah, the Christ, will save all those who have accepted him. The Jews (i.e. their Torah) have been superseded by the Gentiles (i.e. their Hope) as the chosen people of God and He redeems the latter from sin and eternal death. The question I pose is why the documents are so heavily laden with authentic Jewish idioms and concepts if their audience is so predominantly gentile? Put another way-- do the documents at all reflect anything that Jesus did or said, and if so, how much?
Eugene Fisher
"Typical Jewish Misunderstandings of Christ,Christianity and Jewish-Christian Relations over the Centuries"
Many Jews tend to think of Jesus of Nazareth as a good Jew who never said much of anything that would push the envelope of his Jewish heritage and tradition, a healer and challenger, like the prophets, of his people. The bad guy who changed all of this and created Christianity whole cloth was Paul of Tarsus, who turned the good Jew, Jesus, into the Christ, pseudo-Messiah and (gasp!) incarnate Son of God, an idea which was more Greek than Jewish and led quickly to the quirky Christian notion that the One God is really three Gods, who are really One God, etc. Pauline-inspired Christianity, many Jews believe, quickly turned against their parent religion and by the fourth century began persecuting Jews, singling them out for torment. My paper will challenge these notions about Jesus the Christ and Jewish-Christian history.
Steve Bowman (University of Cincinnati)
"Jesus in Byzantium Apologetics and Polemics in the 10th and 11th Century"
Byzantine Jews lived in Greece since Hellenistic times and were among the first to experience Paul's missionary propaganda. While the Christian mission continued to the end of the empire in the 15th century, the question is how and why the tactics changed in the Christian argument before and after the Byzantine Crusades of the 10th century and what were the Jewish responses to the changing patterns of the discussions over Jesus in the face of the evolving international conditions. How did the overt and covert allusions to Jesus in Sefer Yosippon and contemporary Byzantine midrashim reflect a Jewish response to Christian tracts of the same period? Also David Flusser's treatment of Jesus will be discussed within the context of his seminal work on Sefer Yosippon.
Richard L. Rubenstein (University of Bridgeport)
"Jesus, Paul, and Christology"
In much of thoughtful Jewish New Testament scholarship, there has long been a tendency to regard Paul of Tarsus as the ultimate apostate. Martin Buber referred to Jesus as his "brother." He could never have so referred to Paul.
When I wrote by book on Paul, I deliberately gave it the title My Brother Paul to indicate my dissent from Buber and because I saw a profound fraternal relation between the disciples of Paul and rabbinic Israel. I hasten to add that fraternal relations have all too often had tragic outcomes, of which Cain and Abel and the relationship of Church and Synagogue, which Paul himself characterized as a relation of siblings, are paradigmatic examples (Rom. 9:6-9; Gal. 4:21-31). I believe there is a far deeper connection between Judaism and Christianity than between Judaism and Islam to which Judaism arguably bears a stronger, albeit superficial, resemblance. Moreover, I believe that Christology rather than a comparison of Jesus' teachings with those of the rabbis can tell us more about this relationship. I further believe that the fundamental relation between Church and Synagogue was understood by those Fathers of the Church who argued that which is latent in Judaism (latet) became manifest in Christianity (patet). This can be seen in the Church Fathers' view of Isaac's Akedah as an aborted Golgotha and the identification of Jesus as "the Lamb of God" (John 1:29) and as "our paschal lamb" (1 Cor. 5:7) in which the crucial animal sacrifice in Judaism, itself a surrogate for a human sacrifice, becomes once again a divine-human sacrifice. In terms of depth psychology, sublimation through substitution (e.g. pidyon ha-ben) is the Jewish approach to the sacrificial impulse. In Christianity, the sacrificial impulse is openly expressed, albeit in a strictly-controlled, sacred precinct. The Christian hermeneutic can and all too often has led to a supersessionism with tragic consequences for Jews. Undoubtedly, the very (dialectical) closeness of the two faiths and their complex interrelations have led to the conflicts between them. I intend to explore these issues in my essay.
Henry F. Knight (Keene State College)
"Before Whom Do We Stand? A Post-Shoah Question for Synagogue and Church"
Before whom do we stand? After the Holocaust that question, echoing the instructions of Rabbi Eliezer to his disciples, that they know the One before whom they stand, calls Jews and Christians into new space with new understandings about how they might share that space. Yitz Greenberg's criterion of the burning children articulates a critical quality of that reality. Those who stand there, stand before missing children - 1.5 million who were killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust. To be sure, Jews and Christians face those children from different vantage points, but they face them nonetheless; and their presence changes the way Jews and Christians now face each other and themselves, not to mention the Jew, Jesus, before whom Christians stand in new ways as well.
This changed context, viewed through the lingering power of Rabbi Eliezer's instruction, offers an intriguing way to examine the post-Holocaust dimensions of Jewish-Christian relationships - especially the character of interreligious community generally and Church-Synagogue relationships more specifically. Mediated by asking, Before whom do we stand as post-Holocaust Jews and Christians,? this paper will explore the implications of observations like the following: Christians, who take J.B. Metz's admonition that they do their theology after Auschwitz with Jews, accept their place confronting "new" knowledge about themselves and their relationships with Jews now and in the past. They do their theology with Jews attending to distinctive claims about their covenantal responsibilities in and for all God's creatures/children. Christians who stand self-consciously in the shadows of the Shoah to do their theology facing a Jewish Jesus with whom they must reacquaint themselves in critical fashion and with help from their Jewish colleagues. Christians who stand before their Jewish other face a confessional challenge regarding how to relate to otherness with respect and understanding while honoring that same confessional identity as a source of Christian identity and guidance for Church mission. Christians and Jews who wrestle with these matters do so always in the shadows of the missing children before whom they stand, even as they stand before God
In full and faithful study or prayer. Before whom do we stand? After Auschwitz, that question opens important doors for understanding what's at stake in the relationships between Jews and Christians, Synagogue and Church

"Can We Talk? The Jewish Jesus in a Dialogue Between Jews and Christians"
That Jesus was a Jew during the troubled Roman oppression in Palestine is a fact. That his 'messiahship' remains a fundamental stumbling block between Jews and Christians and has been so for 2,000 years is fact. Can Jews somehow import him into Jewish thinking and open doors to conversations with Christians? Can Christians somehow revisit their thinking about him in ways that will open doors to conversations with Jews? Is there truly anything we can say to each other in this 21st century about Jesus the Jew? Is there anyone truly left to say or has it all been said before? Is there any hope of any present and future dialogue whatsoever without this conversation? This paper is a 'preliminary' attempt to explore these and other questions in a dialogical context

Ohiti Estate lies in an inland heat trap on the bed of the old Ngaruroro River. Made using traditional Bordeaux pump over methods for cap management. Malolactic fermentation occurred after pressing, prior to going into oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting Note:
Typically dark in colour for a Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2012 'Ohiti Estate' Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits ripe cassis and blackberry on a back ground of French and American oak. This wine very much reflects the vineyard from which it is grown. This red wine is bottled sunshine, and 'Ohiti Estate' is a very hot vineyard, thus capturing more than its fare share of the Hawke's Bay sun!

Hi Jessica,
I see your post about bell's palsy is a year old, but I was wondering how you are doing now? I had bell's palsy about 7 months ago and my paralysis is gone but I have some other persisting symptoms. I can't seem to find much on the internet about how people are doing once they are "healed." I still get dizzy all the time and have hypersensitive hearing. If you get this my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you!

July 31: Kevin Haplea is no longer listed on Penn State's roster. He is transferring to Florida State.
July 27: The gig is up: several Penn State sites got word that Haplea, profiled yesterday with others (below), is currently visiting Florida State. I'm pretty sure most 'Nole media outlets knew this, but when good sources ask you to hold something, you hold it. Now that the Penn State media outlets found out and published, it is fair game.
July 27: The massive NCAA sanctions resulting from the Jerry Sandusky child rape scandal and subsequent cover-up at Penn State has created the rare situation of college free agency.
Any Penn State player may now transfer at any time during his collegiate career and be immediately eligible. The last part is very important because under normal circumstances, the player would have to sit out a season absent some other hardship.
Many FSU fans have asked in the comments and via email about who Florida State should pursue from Penn State's roster.
The obvious answer is that FSU should pursue any player that could improve the team.
Jimbo Fisher said Monday that it was too early to think about that, but this staff rarely leaves a stone unturned. Fisher also indicated that the Seminoles are at 84 scholarships, meaning they have one open and would not have to forfeit one in the future in a trade for taking a PSU player and going over the limit.
But realistically, it's going to be hard to pull a player without being able to offer him an immediate starting job. That is, unless the player has an existing relationship with the 'Noles.
FSU offered a few players who eventually signed with the Nittany Lions.
That list includes offensive lineman Miles Dieffenbach, Khairi Fortt (though his Rivals' profile says otherwise), tight end Kevin Haplea, defensive lineman/jumbo tight end Kyle Baublitz and offensive lineman Luke Graham.
Florida State's roster is loaded, and of those, I don't think any would have a guaranteed starting job if they came to Florida State. Yes, even the offensive linemen.
Is offering a player during his recruitment a sufficient enough connection to convince the kid to pack up and leave his friends and everything he knows? I'm not sure.
Maybe taking a visit would be.
And there's one player on the list who definitely did take a visit to Florida State and expressed interest in the Seminoles: tight end Kevin Haplea. Others may have, but I do not specifically remember them doing so.
Haplea is a New Jersey kid, which means he was recruited by ace recruiter and tight ends coach James Coley back in the 2010 class. He's now a junior and 6'4 and 248 pounds. Here is his bio from Penn State's media guide:
Kevin Haplea enters the season as the Nittany Lions' most experienced tight end. He worked hard in off-season conditioning and during spring practice to prepare for what could be a season of great opportunity for himself and all the tight ends. The former North Hunterdon High School standout has the size, skills and strength to emerge as a primary target in an offense that will frequently employ multiple tight ends expected to catch, and possibly carry, the pigskin. Haplea finished spring drills No. 2 on the depth chart at the "F" tight end position, which Coach Bill O'Brien has described as "a move guy; a little bit better pass receiver than he is a blocker, with good hands." O'Brien, though, also has stated that many of the tight ends will be interchangeable between the "F" and "Y" positions. With continued progress, Haplea should have some great opportunities to be a significant contributor as a receiver and blocker. Haplea enrolled at Penn State in January 2010 and has a twin sister, who also is a Penn State student. He is among seven Nittany Lion returnees from New Jersey.
Haplea seems to be a balanced tight end. FSU couldn't guarantee him the starting job, but the 'Noles certainly could offer a lot of playing time, particularly because Florida State is looking to run more two-tight end sets going forward.
Currently at tight end is H-Back type Nick O'Leary, and large tight end Dan Hicks, who is playing his first year at the position after transitioning from defensive end. Hicks is athletic, but raw.
Having battled some injuries during his career, Haplea is not necessarily the starter in Happy Valley. That's important, because a player is probably not leaving a guaranteed starting spot for a contributor role in another town.
Haplea would definitely see significant snaps for Florida State. And who knows, if FSU reaches out to him, he likes Florida State and decides to leave his friends and twin sister, perhaps he'll bring along one of his offensive line buddies as well. 'Nole fans can only hope.
Update: Haplea's high school coach spoke with him:
Another player who could be in the market for a new school is North Hunterdon High School graduate Kevin Haplea, who is the most experienced tight end on Penn State's roster after playing in every game during his first two years on campus.
"The difficult part is that it is a shame what happened and you feel bad for the victims, but you also feel bad for the young men on the team who didn't see any of this coming," said North Hunterdon coach John Mattes said.
Mattes said he spoke to Haplea, whose twin sister also attends Penn State this past weekend and the Annandale native's intentions were to wait until after the sanctions were announced and Monday morning's team meeting was held before making any decisions on his future.
"You have to realize where you are academically and how far you are along in your major," Mattes said. "When you are a freshman or a sophomore it's different. You can start over. The fortunate thing for Kevin (football-wise) is he has a redshirt year still, which is important if you decide to go somewhere else. I think it's a family decision and I'm sure his mom and dad will help him. They're both good people."
Haplea has not made a public statement or commented on the sanctions.

LLM in Medical Law
The LLM in Medical Law programme engages with a new and expanding field which offers considerable scope for interdisciplinary study and collaboration. The responsibilities of those providing health care and the expectations of those receiving it are legally defined, and as a consequence the law is increasingly involved in dispute resolution.

Anika Rolfs, Germany
LLM in Medical Law 2013-14
Following my law studies at Humboldt-University Berlin, I completed my legal clerkship at the legal department of Europe's biggest university clinic as well as a law firm specialising in medical negligence. Meanwhile, I came to appreciate medical law as a relatively young and aspiring field of law, holding an exceptional amount of dynamic.
Having chosen medical law as a career aspiration, I was seeking to combine it with my further interest in comparative studies. After considerable research, I was convinced that Queen Mary was the only institution being able to offer me the distinctive specialisation I was looking for.
Now studying at Queen Mary, I highly benefit from the resources and exceptional learning environment it has to offer.
From broader modules like Medical Jurisprudence to those more-in-depth like Advanced Medical Negligence, the excellent teaching staff continuously extend my knowledge regarding the responsibilities of those providing and receiving health care from an academic as well as practical point of view.
I am convinced that my studies will leave me with an advanced and thorough understanding of the key issues and current trends in medical law, which will subsequently help me to achieve my goal of supporting the development of health law while working in an international environment.
Nina Chohan, Canada
LLM in Medical Law 2012-13
Prior to embarking in my career in law I had completed a Bachelors of Science in Canada and was working as a Registered Nurse. Nursing was an extremely rewarding profession, however, I always felt as though there was more that I could do to give back to society and make a positive contribution.
Thus, I decided to pursue my LLB (Hons.) from the University of Birmingham. Upon completing my LLB my thirst for knowledge in the area of medical law had only grown. My desire to gain a more comprehensive and in depth understanding of medical law and the issues arising in healthcare prompted me to further my education and knowledge base by enrolling in Queen Mary's LLM Medical Law programme.
The experience at Queen Mary has been more rewarding than what I could have imagined. The options of modules available for students to choose from are vast and taught by experienced lecturers. The teaching staff are unbelievably supportive and readily available to assist students when and wherever they can. My classmates all had various educational backgrounds, making class discussions engaging and stimulating.
After enjoying such a rewarding LLM experience at Queen Mary I now plan on staying with the university to pursue a PhD in Medical Law.
I am grateful beyond words for my experience at Queen Mary and would wholeheartedly recommend the LLM Medical Law programme to aspiring medical law students.
Yeo Sam Jay, Singapore
LLM in Medical Law 2011-12
Prior to studying law, I worked as an English Language teacher in Singapore and other parts of Asia. Upon completing the LLB course with the University of London International Programmes, I decided against practice and continued in academia, lecturing primarily in subjects such as Family Law and Common Law Reasoning and Institutions. A desire for deeper knowledge and passion for my job led me to embark on the LLM (Medical Law) course at Queen Mary; whose reputation and holistic excellence require no further elaboration.
The entire experience may be described as one that is both inspirational and liberating. There was so much to explore, so much to discover, making it a truly exhilarating journey for me. The teaching faculty exceeded expectations, in particular Professor Richard Ashcroft who may be described as a 'star' in the department. It was a rare opportunity for students to have come under the tutorage of an educator of his time, one who was both creative and meticulous in his lesson delivery.
I have no doubt that this course has benefitted me in more ways than one. The skills I have acquired will go towards inspiring my own students back in Singapore or at the Hongkong Polytechnic University, where I am also a visiting lecturer. Queen Mary School of Law has fuelled my insatiable quest for legal knowledge and allowed me to immerse in vast literature. The accessibility and vibrancy of London makes it a fascinating and conducive place for study. I recommend this experience wholeheartedly to other aspiring legal minds!
Diana Carolina Rivera Drago, Colombia
LLM Medical Law 2009-2010
"I graduated from the Law School of the Externado University of Colombia in Bogota in 2006. Between 2006 and 2007 I worked as a lawyer in Colombia in both the private and public sector.
In 2008 I came to London to work and improve my English and in 2009 I received an Externado University's scholarship to study an LLM at Queen Mary, University of London. I am doing my LLM in Medical Law.
One of the classes I am attending is 'Consent in Contemporary Medicine' taught at Queen Mary. It is an absolutely interesting and innovative course with excellent material and great interactive lectures and debate. During the course we have seen very controversial subjects (as the right to decide about our own body, the right of autonomous decision making in reproduction, etc.), which are fundamental aspects in every individual's life.
It is important to mention that all the other lectures are fascinating, the professors are very supportive and stimulating and that it is fantastic to have doctors, nurses and even philosophers as classmates. I am having a wonderful academic experience which I absolutely recommend."
Linda Strazdina, Latvia
LLM in Medical Law 2008-2009
"I completed my legal education (LLM and LLB) in 2008 in Latvia. However, before I started my professional career I decided to study something different.
During my basic law studies my interest in medical law was growing as I have written a couple of course papers relating to patient's rights. While working in a non-governmental organisation – the Latvian Patients' Rights Office - as a volunteer lawyer-consultant, I realized that my knowledge in this field of law was just basic. Health law is new field of law and covers a lot of interesting and still unresolved issues. Therefore, I decided to broaden my knowledge in medical law in the UK.
As I was awarded the LLM scholarship, this gave me a wonderful opportunity to specifically study medical law.
I do not regret any hour spending time in the School of Law and going in depth into different aspects of consent, medical aspects of intellectual property and medical negligence. Being in London and in this University, I expanded my vision of law and it gave me a possibility to look to medico-legal issues from different angles. I was impressed by Professor Rachael Mulheron in Advanced Medical Negligence. She is so brilliant and a guru in her field; that inspires me to conduct further research into medical negligence. The University offers an excellent environment and library resources for its Master students. In addition, all the academics are professional in their field. That ensures a first class education. Therefore, I would recommend the School of Law to everybody who wants to continue their studies in law."
Chris Moller, UK
LLM in Medical Law 2008-2009
"My background is in criminal, mental health and human rights law. As a barrister I represent people detained in psychiatric institutions at Mental Health Tribunals. Issues of consent and autonomy are fundamental.
The LLM in Medical Law provides an opportunity to consider medical ethics in a wider context. Studying at Queen Mary, University of London is an inspiration. Seminars are well-structured, interactive and always fascinating. Written materials are excellent. All the lecturers are first rate.
Professional and cultural diversity contribute to the freshness of discussions with other students.
Currently my time is split between representing clients at hearings and reading for my degree. Juggling various deadlines is usually not a problem as the timetable is fixed early. t has been good to use knowledge gained on the LLM in my paid work.
After completing the LLM in Medical Law my intention is to develop a practice in medical and regulatory law. Everything I'm learning will be of use in my future career: facts, ideas and research skills. QMUL is an exciting place to study with great facilities and people."

9 Habits of "Bone-Healthy" People
Rock stars, movie stars, sports stars… they're always hounded by the press with endless questions. And for a good reason. Everyone wants to know what they're doing right, how they've achieved their success, so that they can to do the same.
Today, let's explore the 9 habits of "bone health stars". These habits seem to be prevailing traits among Save Our Bones community members. Go through the list and see how many of the habits you demonstrate.
#1 – They don't dwell on the details.
It's never "all or nothing." They know that each small change counts, and they take action right away. Instead of waiting to find out everything they should do for their bone health, they get started without procrastinating.
#2 – They're aware of their own decision-making power.
They never consider themselves victims of an osteoporosis diagnosis. Instead, they realize that with the right knowledge they have the power to take control of their bone health.
#3 – They learn from like-minded peers.
They find like minded individuals and learn from them. And that's what the Save Our Bones community is all about. To inform and support those who wish to take immediate action on their bone health. And to let truth seekers like you know that you are not alone.
#4 – They believe their actions will yield results.
Thanks to their unwavering belief rooted in knowledge, they know that their actions will yield the desired results. So it's a domino effect. Their strong belief, causes them to take action. And their correct actions lead to their desired results. Many in the Save Our Bones community have adopted this belief/action/result way of thinking, and have had outstanding results. Click here to read the Real Life Results.
#5 – They formulate a clear path and stick to it.
Rather than trying many different things, they are determined to get started and follow their chosen path, and most importantly, to stick to it. They know that the right bone health plan is all they need. I call this the 'Fox and Cat Principle' and you can read more about it here.
#6 – They're secure in their decisions and don't mind criticism.
Because they know that their decisions are based on sound and true science, they feel secure about the path they've chosen. They are not vulnerable to criticism and don't let it get to them. Read more about this concept in my article titled 'A Tale of Two Ladies'.
#7 – They adapt well to their surroundings and circumstances.
While others get stressed about how to apply bone healthy solutions when out of their comfort zone, they are relaxed and create ways to fit their natural bone health plan into any real life situation. For an example, click here.
#8 – They question everything and ask the right questions.
They are inquisitive, analytical, and question everything. More importantly, they ask the right questions. For example, they don't ask which osteoporosis drug is better. Instead, they ponder if taking osteoporosis drugs is a good idea to begin with. And they often arrive at the right answers because they trust themselves. For more on this read 'Who Should You Trust?'.
#9 – They're happy to share their knowledge.
They are constantly seeking out new knowledge, and what they learn doesn't stop with them. They want to share the information with friends and family, always giving more than what they've received.
And remember, as Robert Collier has said,
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."
To your bone health success!

A 35-year-old Caledonia man is accused of breaking into an area house clad in his underwear, then running upstairs and smashing the homeowner's items.
Jeffery A. Kocourek was charged in Racine County Circuit Court Monday with one count of disorderly conduct, one count of criminal trespassing, one count of criminal damage to property and one count of bail jumping. If convicted, he faces up to 30 months in prison and $31,000 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint:
At 2:25 a.m., Thursday, Mount Pleasant police officers were called to help the Caledonia Police Department after someone reported a man running down the road in his underwear on Highway 31. While officers were looking into the incident, they were called to a home in the 4200 block of Highway 31, where a caller said someone had just busted into the home, ran upstairs and began to smash items.
The caller's daughter-in-law went upstairs to confron Kocourek, who talked with a police dispatcher on the phone and said there was no need for police at the home. Officers came anyway and went to the bottom of the stairs and yelled for him to come down.
Kocourek said men with guns and flashlights were chasing him, but he came down and sat on a couch. The people inside the home said they didn't know Kocourek. However, he busted in through the back door, and ran upstairs, tossed a chair down the stairs. He also knocked over a television, smashed some items and broke an upstairs window after he tried to jump out of it.
Kocourek said he had been in his home in the 4600 block of Cobblestone when men had broke in and chased him with guns. Officers checked out the home and found nothing wrong.
Given the hallucinogenic remarks made by Kocourek, he was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center, where staff found he had a heart rate of 195 beats per minute at the time. Kocourek then told the officer he did two lines of cocaine at his home prior to the incident taking place.

The 2011-2012 high school and college basketball post season was an exciting one for me. Several of our local high school teams did very well at the state tournament. Then, I was presented the opportunity to follow the WVU women's basketball team to the NCAA tournament. The word "yes" left my mouth before I could even think about it.
The first leg of the trip was the drive. It wasn't exactly easy. From Clarksburg I sent through Elkins on 250 and stayed on that road all the way to Charlottesville, Va. What was it like? Mountains. Mountains. Mountains. I'm from Elkins. I'm used to mountains. Still, that was a lot of mountains. From there on it's pretty much all interstate which makes it a relatively easy drive. I didn't hit traffic so I arrived in Norfolk at a descent hour and was very pleased to see that the venue was right beside the media hotel.
Truth be told, the NCAA made the trip easy for me. When it comes to the tournament, everything, and I mean everything, is scheduled. If a press conference is set to start at 2:00p.m., it starts at 2:00p.m. If the student-athletes are only scheduled to be in the press conference for seven minute, they are gone at the seven minute mark. There was also a good bit of other media in Norfolk so there were always a variety of questions asked at press conferences.
I knew that if the Mountaineers won the first game I would be allowed to stay through the second game. Needless to say, I had my fingers crossed for a win against Texas from the moment I got in the car in Clarksburg. Having followed college sports my whole life it was pretty cool to see the famous Texas orange just steps away from me on the court. The WVU women's basketball team is young, but talented and it was relatively easy for the Mountaineers to beat the Longhorns.
Yes! I got to stay through the next round.
The days leading up to the Stanford game were definitely different from the ones before the Texas game. It was apparent that WVU knew they had a very good chance of beating Texas, even though that game was a No. 8 vs No. 9 seed matchup. That was not the feeling before the game against the Cardinals. Stanford women's basketball has a rich tradition of winning. The WVU women knew that. Still, the Mountaineers put up a good fight.
Stanford got the lead early, but it never really got out of hand and WVU kept the Cardinals to within about a five point spread for most of the game. It was very telling of what a storied program looks like but also a good glimpse into the Mountaineer's future. The WVU women's basketball team graduates just one senior. Stanford Head Coach Tara Vanderveer also complimented WVU Head Coach Mike Carey on what he's been able to do with the program.
Covering the WVU women's basketball team at the NCAA tournament was a great experience. It's a whole different ball game from covering games at the Coliseum and definitely valuable learning experience for a young sports reporter like me.

Spotify vs Zune Pass on WP7
I'm really surprised that no one has done a comparison of the two because they cost the same and provide a similar service. I understand that Spotify has a few million more songs, which could be a plus in their category. I also understand that Spotify's audio files are 160kpbs ogg Vorbis, vs Zune's 192kbps WMA. This means that Spotify will probably stream faster over 3g (with less skips or stalls) due to the smaller file size. However, I have been told that the audio quality is fairly equal, even though the bitrate is lower, due to the different file formats.
Anyone use both and have any impressions?

- EnjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/29/2014The tomato flatbread was excellent. The salmon was very tasty and was not overcooked. We had attentive,friendly service that overall was a very enjoyable meal/evening.Special Features:
- Good place for a casual dinejrodDined on 8/26/2014I loved the overall attitude of the staff. I felt very welcome by hostesses. I had a drink at the bar while waiting on my friend and the bar tender offered samples of the various local draft beers. The server was very attentive at first, but afterwards, he forgot about us. He did not come to check on us after the food came in and totally forgot to bring a second drink that friend order. I had the filet mignon and it was tender and cooked right to order. The hummus is also delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Food and ServiceRonShookVIPDined on 8/24/2014A wonderful place to have brunch after church with friends. Our waiter Greg was always ready to help and carried a wonderful smile. The food cooked just perfect and of course I will go back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding BrunchBHE4diningDined on 8/24/2014Del Frisco's was wonderful. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. We were there for Brunch and the 3 of us loved our food. Everything was well prepared, beautifully presented and very very delicious. We definitely plan to return. Everything was perfect. Really started our Sunday morning off well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to dineMrMacDined on 8/23/2014Great atmosphere, good food! The service is excellent.Special Features:
- Fantastic wine list!!!QuinnVIPDined on 8/23/2014Great steak. Simple but delicious. Ask for Buddy, he's the wine guru who'll pick the perfect bottle.Special Features:
- Overpriced for what you getOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/23/2014I enjoyed the dinner at Del Frisco's. Our service was good, and the food was just fine. But everything we had seemed (looked, tasted) like it was pre-prepared, mass produced. Better than Chili's yes, but not without some similarities. That's fine if I get that sort of experience, but I just expected more quality for the price. I am not saying I won't go back ever, but the quality of food (and certainly not for the price) is definitely not what would bring me there.
- Not badEatupDined on 8/22/2014We made reservations, but still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. After that, everything was pretty good. Food was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AvoidWilliamVIPDined on 8/22/2014Nothing good here, bad food and service. Worst food ever in ATL.
- Loved my 1st visit for lunch.CarotoppDined on 8/22/2014Warm welcome. Waite staff was attentive. Great menu. Steak salad was delicious, could have been bigger. Loved the Pinot Grigio. Recommend eating downstairs in the bar area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerFireflyDined on 8/20/2014The food was fantastic however the service was very disappointing and the restaurant was not even full. The waiter took long periods of time in between checking in on our party of 5. Getting our drinks and appetizers took a long time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good spot for business dinnerFoodieDined on 8/19/2014We had a good dining experience - food was good and service was good. It was a group of business colleagues and we all enjoyed it. The only negatives is drinks were a little slow and food order - "app, salad, entree" was a little less than desireable, but overall nothing that would cause me not to chose this restaurant again.Special Features:
- Hard to put into wordsBDMAtlantaLandAreaVIPDined on 8/18/2014I have had the pleasure of eating at this establishment several times and have really enjoyed myself each time - more and more. The hostess at the front has seen me so much that she now calls me by name. That is not something you see often in today's restaurant experiences unless you belong to a private club or something. The food is outstanding - my business guests and I had the Steak Salad and the Chicken Cesar salad as well as some cheese fritters and the deviled eggs. Each dish was spectacular and the serving staff - while a bit aloof at times - is for the most part very good. I would recommend this place again and again.Special Features:

- Great brunch!BargirlVIPDined on 8/10/2014I finally made it here with this place being such a hot spot and everything was spectacular! First, make sure you order the Build your own Bloody Mary because it comes with all the fixin's you should ever want for this cocktail. Next, being a southern woman I LOVE deviled eggs and they do a truffle version that are the best I've ever had next to my own. Lastly, save room for the Nutella bread pudding and the word I need to use to describe just how good it is I can't write on here but my ladies will understand LOL. My next venture will be to get here for dinner because brunch definitely set the bar high!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic BrunchKeys24Dined on 8/10/2014We were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome upon entering the restaurant. We asked to be seated on the outside patio since we had a baby. The waitress was great and the food was to die for. The Red Velvet Belgian waffles were heavenly. We also tried the flash fried grits with buffalo sauce and blue cheese, these are a must! Lastly, we tried the Croquet Madame and it was made to perfection. Everything was outstanding and this birthday brunch couldn't have been any better. Thank you so much for making the day special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NOT AS EXPECTED!!!!DisappointedDined on 8/9/2014This was our first visit to Del Frisco's Grille! We entered and saw various people in "t-shirts", some of which looked dirty/unclean. So much for business casual! A server plopped down an appetizer and walked away. (it wasn't ours as we had not ordered yet) The prime was tough. The grilled asparagus was not tender! The food prep seemed rushed by the nearly raw "grilled" Brussels sprouts. I tried cutting into 3 before I got one that could barely be chewed. Our waitress comp'd them explaining they weren't grilled long enough. We wanted dessert; but, after our dining experience, we decided against it. Grille or Double Eagle, there's NO excuse for the poor quality of our dinner and dining experience at Del Frisco's.
- Bland...LoGhansOpinionDined on 8/7/2014This was a spot I was looking forward to eating at... The menu looked fun and different however, the food was bland. They offered a burger, fries, and ADULT milkshake special, which was actually pretty good as I ate from my cousin's plate and an appetizer of in house made potato chips with a ranch dressing which was about the best they offered... We had a party of four with healthy appetites, so we tried several dishes which all gave the same consistent reading, bland. I probably would not go back to Del's but if I did it would be for the potato chips, hamburger, and ADULT milkshake... oh and I almost forgot, they only offered one crappiee Merlot brand by the glass... Not good... Go back and regroup...Special Features:

- Good to FairFoodie4SureDined on 8/1/2014I went to Del Frisco's last week for lunch and despite having past good experiences, this one was fair at most. The restaurant was not that busy, however we had a little wait because I think they didn't have enough servers to accommodate guests. When greeted at the table by our server, he was very lackluster and not friendly at all. I asked if I could sub the asparagus that came with my salmon and he flat out said "no" with no alternatives. I asked if I could have a salad instead...out comes my salmon with chopped 3 day old, brown iceberg. Poor communication from the server and poor execution from the kitchen. I was able to speak with 2 managers who turned it around, which is the only reason I may return. I hope they improve.Special Features:

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A Massachusetts inmate has been charged with the stabbing death of a New Hampshire woman 21 years ago, and a defense lawyer believes his client - already serving time for two murders - implicated himself.
New Hampshire authorities say 46-year-old Craig Conkey is charged with first-degree murder and an alternate charge of reckless second-degree murder in the 1991 death of Theresa Reed, a 30-year-old associate registrar at Plymouth State University.
According to online corrections records, there is only one Massachusetts inmate named Craig Conkey. Attorney Bernard Grossberg, said he has a client by that name who is serving two life sentences for killing women in Lexington, Mass., in 1992 and 1994, and that his client contacted New Hampshire authorities last year about his involvement in a New Hampshire homicide.

New Victory to Present U.S. Premieres of SALTBUSH & THE BALLAD OF PONDLIFE MCGURK in 2013-14 Season
The New Victory Theater, New York City's premier performing arts venue for kids and families, adds two shows to their 2013-14 season. Making U.S. premieres at The New Victory Theater, Saltbush, from Compagnia T.P.O. and Insite Arts, will run from May 30-June 8, 2014, and The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk, from Catherine Wheels Theater Company, will run from June 13-22, 2014. For both shows, audiences are seated on stage with the performers for a truly interactive theater experience.
"We are thrilled to invite audiences onto the New Victory stage where they can see the performances up close and even interact with the artists," says Mary Rose Lloyd, Director of Artistic Programming. She continues, "With every show we present, we aim to create a unique experience and a lasting memory for the kids and families that experience them, and these two pieces will do just that."
In Saltbush, kids are invited on a trek across the Australian outback to discover the language, lore and music of its indigenous culture, as they kick off their shoes and join the performers on a digitally interactive surface that responds in real-time to their every movement. From the creators of Butterfly Garden (New Vic 2010), Saltbush is directed by Davide Venturini and Jason Cross, and features dancers Rosealee Pearson and Sani Townson performing choreography by Deon Hastie with narration and additional performance by Jada Alberts. Saltbush has a running time of 50 minutes with no intermission and is recommended for everyone ages 5 and up.
In The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk, meet Martin and the quiet and quirky Simon McGurk, who spend every day together until Martin's gift for soccer coupled with a disastrous class field trip complicate their once simple friendship. From the school's most popular girl to the class bully, the wildly imaginative and captivating Andy Manley (White, Drama Desk nominee for Unique Theatrical Experience, New Vic 2011) plays every character in this heartwarming and humorous coming of age story by Manley, Rob Evans and Gill Robertson. The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk has a running time of 50 minutes with no intermission and is recommended for everyone ages 8 and up.
In addition to these added shows, remaining productions in the New Victory 2013-2014 Season include the World Premiere of Fiasco Theater's Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare from February 28 - March 16; the U.S. premieres of Still Awake Still!, a cabaret for kids (January 18 - January 20); Knee Deep by Brisbane's hottest new circus company Casus (March 21 - March 30); Hyperish, a fusion of dance styles from the Dutch street scene and club circuit taking the stage (May 9 - May 18); and the New York premieres of Bob Marley's Three Little Birds, a new musical based on a story by Cedella Marley featuring the music and lyrics of legendary reggae artist Bob Marley (February 7 - February 23), and the off-the-wall Fluff by Australian performance artist Christine Johnston (April 26 - May 4). Back by popular demand, Bello Nock returns with Bello Mania (April 4 - April 20), and young audiences will be captivated by This [Baby] Life for ages 4-18 months (February 12 - February 23) and Baby Rave for ages four months to four years (May 7 - May 18).
Tickets for Saltbush and/or The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk at The New Victory Theater (209 West 42nd Street) are $18 for Members and $25 at full price.
Theater-goers who buy tickets for three or more New Victory shows qualify for free Membership, with benefits including 35-percent savings on tickets all season long and unlimited free ticket exchanges. Purchase tickets online or by phone at 646-223-3010. The New Victory Theater box office (209 West 42nd Street) is open Sunday and Monday from 11am-5pm and Tuesday through Saturday from 12pm-7pm.

P-Bruins news release...
Providence's Leading Scorer Will Replace Bourque
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League today announced that Providence Bruins forward Jamie Tardif has been added to the Eastern Conference roster for the 2013 Dunkin' Donuts AHL All-Star Classic, to be held this Sunday and Monday, January 27 and 28, in Providence, RI. Additionally, forward Chris Bourque will miss the All-Star Classic because he is currently with the Boston Bruins of the NHL.
Tardif, a 6'0", 205-pound forward from Welland, Ontario, is in his second season with the Providence Bruins. The right wing has skated in 35 games for Providence this season, compiling 18 goals and seven assists for 25 points, along with 27 penalty minutes. Tardif currently leads all P-Bruins skaters in goals and is tied for sixth in the AHL.
He is ranked first in points on the Providence roster. In 2011-12, Tardif posted 15-15=30 totals with the P-Bruins. Prior to joining Providence, the AHL veteran spent five years in the Detroit Red Wings' system from 2006-11 with the Grand Rapids Griffins. For his AHL career, Tardif has recorded 109-98=207 totals in 411 games.
Drafted by Calgary in the fourth round (112th overall) of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Tardif was signed by Boston as an unrestricted free agent to a two-year contract on July 5, 2011.
The Providence Bruins, established in 1992, are the top affiliate of the 2011 Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins.
The Providence Bruins have enjoyed much success over their history. The team won the American Hockey League's Calder Cup championship in 1999 and boasts 10 former players on the 2011 Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins. In addition to accomplishments on the ice, the Providence Bruins were fourth-best in attendance in the AHL in 2011-12 and are the best-attended minor-league hockey team in New England.
The Providence Bruins are also the host of the 2013 Dunkin' Donuts AHL All-Star Classic, which returns to Providence for the first time since 1995. This premier event, hosted at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, is produced in conjunction with Providence Sports + Entertainment, the Rhode Island Convention Center Authority and the Providence Tourism Council.

There is a right way and a wrong way for large breed dogs to lose weight. Merely cutting down on portions can mean loss of both nutrition and muscle tone. To lose weight correctly, a large breed dog must stimulate the use of its fat reserves. A high protein, reduced fat diet allows for mobilization of energy reserves without reducing muscle tone. Royal Canin Maxi Weight Care 27 Large Breed Dry Dog Food is made with a specially tailored lower density kibble, with natural flavors and aromas, helping to ensure that your pet will enjoy meal time and feel fuller, longer. This provides more of an opportunity to achieve optimal body weight. Joints of a large breed dog receive a lot of pressure. Glucosamine and chondroitin help to protect the joints; omega 3 essential fatty acids from anchovy oil help limit inflammation there. A well-balanced, low energy food, Royal Canin Maxi Weight Care 27 Large Breed Dry Dog Food contains all the nutrients a dog needs, such as essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, despite restricted calories. It is for large breed dogs (56 to 100 pounds,) from 15 months to five years of age, who are prone to obesity.

Comments about Royal Canin Maxi Weight Care 27 Large Breed Dry Dog Food:
Our shepherd/chow loves Royal Canin Large Breed dog food. We alternate between diet and regular depending on his activity level. We tried switching him to cheaper chow (it's a little expensive in my opinion) and regretted it immediately. He was a bit overweight when we adopted him and our vet is very happy with his condition now.

My six dogs are fed Royal Canin because it has proved to be the best food for them. We have 2 medium size mixed breeds and 4 Great Danes. This product satisfies all of their needs. For a short time, I tried BLUE, but soon returned to Royal Canin, which prompted my vet to volunteer that he thought I had made the best choice with Royal Canin.

The ethos of the Royal Canin brand is based on its unique vision of the dog and the cat: The conviction that dogs and cats are not human beings but animals, and as a result true respect obliges us to treat them as such. True respect implies certain obligations, one of which is the pursuit of knowledge. To truly know the animal and understand its specific physiological and nutritional requirements, and--in consequence--guarantee it a "tailor made" food in line with its real nutritional needs. Royal Canin's philosophy is therefore deliberately non-anthropomorphic. In the field of canine and feline nutrition, some manufacturers put the owners first and use them as the basis of all innovation. At Royal Canin, we put the dog and the cat at the heart of our research process; this is a radically different approach.

Local Girl Scouts are teaming up with the DEA and the American Cancer Society to spread an important message. That message is that smoking is addictive and dangerous. Thursday the Michiana Chapter of the Girl Scouts sponsored an assembly at Darden Primary School. The even is part of "Red Ribbon Week." It's an effort to take a visible stand against substance abuse. Girl Scout Leader Becky Phelan said, "every kid knows someone who smokes. So we can help them to prevent them from smoking and maybe help someone in their family to stop from smoking."
Students wore Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs.
