Amy Seimetz's "Sun Don't Shine," which is currently in limited release after debuting at SXSW last year, is a startling, visceral freshman film from the "Upstream Color" star. In addition to receiving plenty of support in the form of rave reviews (you can read ours here), the film also serves as an announcement of the arrival of some serious talent. Both its director and two stars, venerable indie character actors Kate Lyn Sheil and Kentucker Audley, are about to be unavoidable in the indie film world.

Both are certainly no strangers to the industry. Sheil has appeared in films by Joe Swanberg, Sophia Takal and Alex Ross Perry, as well as last year's controversial "The Comedy," and Audley is himself a filmmaker, having directed four features and a number of shorts while finding the time to curate a website that highlights unknown and micro-budget filmmakers. Currently, however, they're having something of a moment.
You'll soon see Audley in David Lowery's Sundance sensation "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" alongside Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck, and in horror auteur Ti West's "The Sacrament," alongside Sheil. Also cropping up in Sheil's breathtakingly prolific filmography is Adam Wingard's buzzy horror film "You're Next" and an HBO pilot from "The Color Wheel" director Alex Ross Perry. We sat down for an incredibly candid conversation with the two, who star in "Sun Don't Shine" as a hapless couple on a tense, sweltering road trip across Florida to dispose of the body in their trunk, about breaking away from the naturalistic "mumblecore" movies in which they made their name, their upcoming projects, and the dangers of filming in the Florida swamps (alligators).
Obviously this move is pretty intense, and I feel like the conditions under which it was shot only kind of heighten that; the claustrophobic car, the heat, etc. Did that inform your performance at all, being stuck in this small car in the Florida heat?
Kate Lyn Sheil: Sure.
Kentucker Audley: Yeah. I don't have a lot of access to immediate anger as an actor, so that was very helpful. You just try to use those things. You get in the car and feel like you have nowhere to move and it creates the condition where you feel like you have to punch out.
KS: The heat was stifling, and Amy wanted that in the movie. So it was good that we didn't have to act like we were extremely exhausted and hot.
And intensely sunburned.
KA: Any time we don't have to act.
KS: That's a plus. Those are the roles we're going after.
How structured was the shoot? Was it a very specific, rigid schedule every day, or looser?
KS: It was pretty scheduled. WIthin that there was a lot of room to move around. If something didn't work we would just move somewhere else. The crew and cast were able to move as a small, cohesive unit so you were able to shift it around very easily. But it wasn't like a loosey-goosey "I don't know... show up sometime tomorrow and we'll figure it out." It was like a real movie.
Because watching the movie from the point of view of this low budget indie, you guys do a lot of crazy stuff liability wise. You go in that river, for instance, that I immediately thought had to have alligators in it somewhere.
KA: She didn't tell us until after.
So you never saw any?
KA: We saw some, but never while we were shooting. Amy was very clear that there were no alligators in that area.
KS: Until after we shot. The producer asked first, "are there alligators in this water? Should we be careful?" And Amy said, "You should always be careful, but no, there are no alligators in this water." But there were.
The three of you have all worked together before, and have known each other. Was the creative process more collaborative from the beginning? Did the two of you have a hand in writing the film at all and creating the characters?
KS: A little bit, but it was mostly, in my experience, Amy. She would send us large blocks of prose writing, and that was about it. She would ask for feedback, but I would mostly just say, "that sounds good."
KA: It was based on her recurring nightmare, and what I was trying to do was just pull out the facts about what she had in her brain so my input was generally more about the narrative that she already had. We had been trying to make a movie together and we didn't know what to make it about and she told me about this nightmare and I wanted to get in on that. So I was just trying to get her to tell me that full story. Once she knew that it was all upstairs for her it was very little back and forth until we got on set and started rehearsing and playing with it.
KS: I mostly stuck to the script. By the time we got on set there was an actual shooting script. But Kentucker and I would talk about things and figure out how we were going to do things, and obviously Amy was a part of that conversation. For me I always felt like I was delivering Amy's dialogue.
Was there a rehearsal process? Both characters are so unique and specific that I'm curious about kind of the origins of both of your performances.
KA: We didn't have time to rehearse.
KS: I think we talked to each other in the phone one time and agreed that we were both very scared.
KA: I think we agreed that they were both... what's a less harsh version of "trashy?" The people, they're poor people. You always have reference points to how poor people are, anywhere you are. So I'm fascinated by disparity, and how people who are brought up in small towns without money interact with their environment and how unsocialized they are in some cases. So a lot of the character for me was making him not adept and not adjusted to societal norms.
KS: I think I tried to... I don't know how to act any other way than find personal reference points for everything in the script. So I just tried to figure out the nearest approximation of how I would respond to that situation. And lots of stuff in the movie is familiar to me; being in a relationship with someone and being in a bad situation. And then extrapolate all of that to this extreme situation. I think the costumes helped a lot.
KA: It sounds frivolous to say that, but yeah, in my experience costumes help an incredibly great deal. It's almost worth a week of discussions just to see how they dress you and how they put your hair.
KS: I felt really unattractive in the costume so that helps. This character is trying to hang onto her boyfriend. In her Skechers.
KA: We always say our attire is exactly how kids dress. Lots of oversized tee shirts. Long jeans.
Kate, what's really interesting about your character is a lot of the time it seems like she's in sort of a trance, like she's been hypnotized, which I thought was a really interesting direction to take. It almost helps you relate to her in a way because she never seems "crazy," more just that there's something else going on, that she's not herself and there's something else driving her.
KS: Yeah, I never wanted her to be crazy. I don't think Amy did either. I relate to the character a lot more than people assume. I think when you're dealing with a really horrible situation you either try to address it, which Crystal is in a very roundabout way, but Kentucker's character is very much trying to solve a problem which is essentially not really solvable. And another way to approach the situation would be to check out completely and distract yourself. Crystal is putting all of her problem solving capabilities to the much more specific problem of fixing her relationship with her boyfriend.
KA: That's interesting, I never really thought about the difference between being in a trance and being crazy. I also think being in a trance is less explored as a cinematic device so it seems richer.
KS: I do that regularly. Even if it's a problem, like, I don't know how to write this email, every time it comes up in my brain I'm like, nope, not gonna think about that, that doesn't exist.
Obviously you guys are in an enormous amount of projects coming out soon and in production. The interesting thing about the sort of New York based collective of independent filmmakers that you guys are grouped with is that you're all making these lower budget movies with your friends, but they all work in so many different genres. I was wondering when you're in a movie like "You're Next," or Ti West's new movie, do you do it because you're drawn to that genre or are you using it as an opportunity to work with your friends and people you're comfortable with?
KA: Both. I'm attracted in moving away from naturalism, which is something that as an actor and director I've been focused on almost entirely. I'm always interested in working with people who want to involve plot and genre in their work. That's what I wanted to do with Amy, is make a genre movie. So the body in the trunk was a strong kickoff for that. As for the horror thing, I don't know, I never really watched a lot of horror movies. But it seems like a lot of new, young, creative type of energy is going towards horror and I'm starting to become excited about it and I'm starting to become more interested in it.
KS: I've always liked horror movies. It's exciting for me to act in them. But I completely agree with Kentucker. I'm interested in... I had an acting teacher in college who, when we were freshman we we thought we were really great because we could say something and sound like a person. And he said naturalism, just being natural, is, like, step zero. Not even step one. Like, OK, you've gotten this far. Now you can start to actually act and make choices and do interesting things.
KA: Shit. I'm at step zero.
KS: No, no! I'm at step zero too. I don't know how to do anything.
Wait, I mean both of the performances in this film are pretty across the board--
KS: Thank you.
KA: You thanked him before he said amazing.
I could've said anything.
KS: I was just thanking you for talking to me... But yeah, genre stuff is exciting to me.
Are you in a place where you want to just keep working with people that you know or do you want to branch out?
KA: I'm interested in branching out but...
KS: Branching out isn't interested in me.
KA: Yeah, I just moved to New York and started to, for the first time, pursue acting outside of my friend's films. And it's incredibly daunting and soul-sucking. Already. Week one.
KS: Try week fifty-two.
There are a couple of upcoming projects I want to talk to you about. First of all, Kentucker, I want to give credit to NoBudge, because I think it's a really incredible resource for microbudget filmmakers.
KA: Thanks for being aware of it. That's my main thing. I'm not making any money off of it, but it's the project I'm most passionate about all the time. It's another important part of the process, curating other people's movies and just seeing how other people make movies. And the bottom line is there are just so many movies that are great, quality films and are just lost. And I hope to put some of those back on the scope a little bit.
I want to talk about Ti West's "The Sacrament," which you're both in, a little bit, because it sounds pretty crazy, or certainly a step forward in terms of budget with building giant sets in Georgia and all of this stuff. Anything you can say about that movie?
KS: Kentucker has a much larger role in the film than I do. The set looks incredible.
KA: Yeah, the set. It's this completely built village in the middle of a field. I don't know... They told us we're not allowed to talk about it.
KS: They didn't say anything to me! It was an amazing experience. I was on it for about a week, but I had a wonderful time.
KA: It was a millions of dollars movie, with trailers. As an actor, you're pampered...
KS: It was very different.
KA: You had people drive you to set.
KS: And then you feel really silly because you've done all the other jobs on a film set and you're like, I don't need to eat before those people!
KA: They would drive you there and then they're like, now you go sit in your trailer, now you go eat at this amazing buffet.
KS: The food was so good.
KA: I guess we're not really saying anything.
Yeah, nothing really about the movie. But that's the interesting thing about it too, though, that it's this huge scaling up for you guys. It's like the graduating class of the group of filmmakers that you guys work with, but on a multi-million dollar set. It's a bigger budget genre movie, but with you guys, and Amy, and Joe Swanberg.
KA: Yeah, it's a really weird thing to happen. And I'm just so eager to see how it will turn out. If it works, Jesus Christ, I'm going to be so happy. I've worked in a couple of horror movies now, but it was a really big struggle for me to find my way into that world. I worked with Adam Wingard on "V/H/S," but that was just as a hooligan, breaking things, but here I had to sculpt some performance out of it and I was unfamiliar with the genre. I was hoping that that would be a selling point rather than a detractor, that I was bringing something fresh to the table, but that was definitely a struggle.
Did he show you guys any horror movies to get you into the mindset?
KS: We were there on Halloween and we watched "Halloween 3." That was about it.
KA: I actually hadn't seen any of Ti's movies before we shot that. I saw "House of the Devil" right after we filmed and was like, shit! Maybe I should've tried harder. That was an amazing movie.
Also, Kate, as a huge fan of "The Color Wheel" I want to ask you about "The Traditions," Alex Ross Perry's HBO pilot that you're in.
KS: Yeah... I think they were actually kind of mad at Alex for breaking the story.
That doesn't surprise me.
KS: Yeah, HBO's very tight-lipped. But he's editing it now and we shot it in January. I was really proud of what we did. I think Alex is becoming very clear as an actor and a director. But I don't think I'm supposed to say too much... (she pauses and pulls out her phone) Should I call Alex?
KA: You're not going to write this unless we give you a big scoop, right? We gotta have a big scoop! Fuck!
Well, you have so many projects coming out, is there anything that you're really excited about that you can talk about?
KA: We're acting in a new movie together for Alison Bagnall, who wrote "Buffalo '66."
KS: "Funny Bunny."
Right, that she did the Kickstarter for.
KA: Yeah, we got the money.
KS: We got the money.
KA: We could give a scoop on that. But it's all on the Kickstarter page...
Kate, do you have any interest in writing and directing?
KS: Sort of, I co-wrote a movie that I'm in the process of making.
KA: "Sort of... Yeah, I made one."
KS: Yeah. I wrote it with my boyfriend and we're shooting it in Kentucky. It's a Civil War movie. We shot like forty percent of it.
KA: That's gonna be really good. It's got all the good people in it. All the greats.
Who's directing it?
KS: My boyfriend, Zachary Treitz. He made a short called "We're Leaving" that played at festivals in 2011.

[Ed.: Bumped]
On November 27th, 2010, the Wisconsin Badgers obliterated the Northwestern Wildcats by a final score of 70-23.
In the process, the Badgers won their seventh consecutive conference game after a 34-24 loss to MSU earlier this season. They may also have punched their ticket to Pasadena.
The key stats from that game, after the jump...Northwestern turned the ball over an eye-popping SEVEN times. Wisconsin turned almost all of those turnovers into touchdowns. And that, right there, decided the game. Northwestern's inability to hold onto the ball was a killer in a road venue as crazy as Camp Randall was.
Wisconsin averaged 7.7 yards per offensive play. Northwestern did make stops, but they didn't make enough of them considering how badly their offense played.
Scott Tolzien, just one week after slicing up Michigan's defense for 14 of 15 passing, finished his career at Camp Randall with a great performance. He completed 15 passes on 19 attempts for 230 yards and 4 TD passes. Tolzien led the nation in completion percentage in the regular season, completing 74.3% of his passes (which is better than Kellen Moore's 71.1% AND Dan Persa's 73.5%, the No. 2 and 3 players in that category, respectively).
Montee Ball ran all over Northwestern's defense, which was often put in extremely awkward positions given how often the Wildcat offense turned the ball over. Ball had 178 yards rushing on 20 carries (8.9 YPC) to pace Wisconsin's offense. His 4 touchdown runs were a substantial help to Scott Tolzien. James White ran for 134 yards on 20 carries of his own (about 6.7 YPC), and ran for over 1,000 yards on the regular season.
Wisconsin's OL got past the Northwestern DL into the secondary. A LOT. Bill Nagy seemed to be running stride for stride with some of Wisconsin's RBs at times. Nagy, John Moffitt and Gabe Carimi wrapped up their final home game at Camp Randall with excellent pass and run blocking; Scott Tolzien was not sacked once and the Badger RB duo of Ball and White once again sprinted for 300+ rushing yards.
Wisconsin's offense grabbed 29 first downs, relying mainly on the proficient rushing attack, but also getting no small amount of help from Scott Tolzien's extremely efficient passing. TE Lance Kendricks hauled in 4 passes for 80 yards, but his lone touchdown grab of the day silenced the Camp Randall crowd. Kendricks appeared to have the ball hit his throat as he made the catch. After spitting up blood, Kendricks made it back to the Wisconsin sideline with assistance from the training staff. David Gilreath's only receiving touchdown of the season came with 9:15 remaining in the 2nd quarter, on a 18 yard strike from Scott Tolzien. He caught four passes overall for 76 yards, with a long 40 yard reception that gave Wisconsin excellent field position (yes, they scored there, too).
Evan Watkins had a rough, rough day. He completed 13 passes on 22 attempts, but threw three interceptions (one of which was a receiver's fault, the other of which came as he tried to avoid a sack and the other a badly thrown deep ball that Fenelus made an easy read and grab on). His lone TD of the game was a good pass to Drake Dunsmore, a 20 yard strike that pulled Northwestern to 63-23... However, the ensuing PAT was blocked.
Adonis Smith was Northwestern's most efficient rusher. That's not saying much; he had just 4 carries on the game for 29 yards. However, because of the ineptitude of the passing game (in other words, Watkins throwing all over the place), Northwestern HAD to run, and they found some success. Once they found success, though, J.J. Watt stripped away their hopes (AND the football), ripping the ball out of Watkins's hands after the slippery QB found room for 21 yards.
Wisconsin's defense put the hammer down on Northwestern. The Wildcats gained 287 yards of total offense, but were held to 4.7 yards per play and turned the ball over 7 times (compared to the 17 first downs the Wildcats somehow managed).
Wisconsin's secondary forced Northwestern to run the ball; Evan Watkins threw an interception on Northwestern's very first offensive series (which was tipped and grabbed by Jay Valai). On Northwestern's next offensive series, they lost a fumble, and on the series after THAT, Antonio Fenelus snagged a pass deep into Wisconsin territory. The Wildcats found themselves in an ever-deepening hole they could not escape from.
J.J. Watt blocked another PAT, setting off chants of "J.J. WATT!" from the student section during the game. He stripped Evan Watkins twice (once after the QB galloped for 20-some yards, the other on a sack), resulting in pair of turnovers. Northwestern didn't know what happened on one of them, as evidenced by Taylor Dippel grabbing about 8 yards while the NU OL stood about waiting to see what the officials ruled...
Jay Valai, Antonio Fenelus, Mike Taylor, and Aaron Henry each grabbed interceptions. Fenelus's 4 picks led the Badgers in the regular season. The Badger defense did an excellent job of getting off the field when they needed to. Force a punt? They did that. Pick the ball off? Did that as well. Grab a fumble? Done.
Late in the 2nd quarter, Northwestern KR Venric Mark ran back a kick for a 94 yard touchdown, punctuated by four missed tackles by the Badger special teams. Mark averaged 30.3 yards per return on 9 returns, for a total of 271 kick return yards. Northwestern gained more kick return yards than total offensive yards. Stefan Demos had a PAT blocked, made his only field goal of the day, and hit his two other PATs in a losing effort.
Freshman WR Jared Abbrederis had the best runback of the day for the Badgers, with a 52 yard kick return. And while David Gilreath's 93 kick return yards weren't incredible, they helped the offense.
Philip Welch didn't attempt a field goal, but that was just fine considering his 10 successful PATs. However, kick coverage was lacking again, and Northwestern ran wild.
Punt coverage, however, was outstanding. Northwestern had a muffed punt that gave the Badgers excellent field position (the PR botched a fair catch), and Brad Nortman did an excellent job whenever the Badgers called on him, pinning Northwestern inside their own 20-yard line four times.
After all that was over, the Camp Randall crowd stormed the field for the second time this season (and the second time I can remember, actually). Fireworks went off, and the Badgers clinched their 11th victory of the season and their 7th straight Big Ten win overall.
Over their seven game winning streak, Wisconsin has committed just 5 turnovers. The Badger running backs haven't lost a fumble since James White's fumble through the endzone for a touchback against San Jose State (which seems like an insanely long time ago).
Scott Tolzien leading the nation in completion percentage is amazing. A 2-star recruit out of high school, Tolzien went from likely career backup in 2008 to starting QB in 2009, and from starting QB in 2009 to murderously efficient QB in 2010. His 16 touchdown passes, compared to 6 interceptions, are outstanding. In addition, Tolzien was sacked eleven times this year, compared to 21 times last year.
The game ball should definitely go to Wisconsin's offensive line. They did an excellent job keeping the pass rush away from Tolzien, getting down field and giving the running backs room to work with, and basically dominating Northwestern's front 7 all game long. Bill Nagy, John Moffitt, and Gabe Carimi all had fantastic games in their final home start at Camp Randall.
It's been a season to remember at Wisconsin. This was the year Bielema and the players HAD to produce, and the Badgers did exactly that, winning seven consecutive conference games on their way to their first BCS appearance since 1999. Oddly enough, that year the Badgers also started out 0-1 in the Big Ten before winning their final seven games to go to the Rose Bowl (where they would beat Stanford 17-9).

PAC Puts $45K Into Independent Expenditure Against Black
U.S. Rep. Diane Black appears to be targeted by an independent expenditure campaign from a group called Congressional Elections PAC, reports Chas Sisk.
The group has purchased 30-second spots that have been airing during news broadcasts on Nashville TV stations. The unflattering images of Black make it pretty clear that it's not from one of her supporters.
A Federal Election Commission filing on Thursday put the cost of the ad buy at $45,000. Congressional Elections PAC purchased the ads through Lewis Advertising, a Wetumpka, Ala., firm.
Black is facing former Rutherford County Republican Party Chair Lou Ann Zelenik in a rematch of sorts of the 2010 GOP primary in the 6th Congressional District. Early voting is under way; the election is Aug. 2.

Abstract—The widespread use of GUIs for interacting with software is leading to the construction of more and more complex GUIs. With the growing complexity come challenges in testing the correctness of a GUI and its underlying software. We present a new technique to automatically generate test cases for GUIs that exploits planning, a well-developed and used technique in artificial intelligence. Given a set of operators, an initial state, and a goal state, a planner produces a sequence of the operators that will transform the initial state to the goal state. Our test case generation technique enables efficient application of planning by first creating a hierarchical model of a GUI based on its structure. The GUI model consists of hierarchical planning operators representing the possible events in the GUI. The test designer defines the preconditions and effects of the hierarchical operators, which are input into a plan-generation system. The test designer also creates scenarios that represent typical initial and goal states for a GUI user. The planner then generates plans representing sequences of GUI interactions that a user might employ to reach the goal state from the initial state. We implemented our test case generation system, called Planning Assisted Tester for grapHical user interface Systems (PATHS) and experimentally evaluated its practicality and effectiveness. We describe a prototype implementation of PATHS and report on the results of controlled experiments to generate test cases for Microsoft's WordPad.

I had to buy this item because the Sears store does not stock the spool with the trimmer line already on for my trimmer. The trimmer is a Craftsman 40 volt cordless (7199026). The trimmer was purchased two months ago and I have not been able to purchase a second pre-wound trimmer line spool for this trimmer. The trimmer is a new Craftsman product. I just hope I do not need or want any other part for this product. Not smart of Sears to sell something without supplying necessary parts.

sales rep was helpful and explained how easy it was to re-spool. this was helpful as these replacement spools are not always available at the store.

I love my craftsman trimmer but the new trimmer line I purchased last week well lets just say I am sorry I bought it because it really dosent last long at all. It just kept breaking and breaking and all I was doing was trimming along the edges of my house , garage, deck, and sidewalk and I had to use the whole package of the trimmer line because like I said it just kept breaking off! So will I by that same line again this weekend, no I will not I am going to find another brand or a larger size because it costs $8.00 bucks and that is alot of money to spend every weekend just to trim my lawn dont you think. Like I said I truly love my new trimmer but the trimmer line well it stinks (sorry)
Cypress, TX
via sears.com
I picked this up after I was having issues with some older line. The old stuff wasn't feeding properly. This line feeds just fine, it does not get hung up on itself. The pkg makes it easy to load into the trimmer without getting the line all tangled up. It isn't noticeably any noisier than the advertised "quiet" line so I would just stick with this stuff.

I admit I haven't eaten at many restaurants in Victory Park. I love to shop down there, and I love to go to the AAC and House of Blues to see shows, but so far the food hasn't wowed me (I did enjoy a meal at Kenichi, and I've been wanting to try Medina, but anyway). I met an old college friend of mine last night for a drink and to talk about his two new restaurants, La Condesa and Pacific and Central, both located in Victory Park. La Condesa (named after the Condesa neighborhood in Mexico City) is opening February 7, and it's located just to the right of the AAC if you're facing the main doors. Just look how cute it is. Jump for the design and menu.
(full version here) He and his partners went down to Mexico City to do a lot of R & D, and the design of the space is influenced by several things they saw there. The graphics were designed by the same company who did Balthazar and Pastis in New York, and I think the logo and the menu look pretty cool. As for the food, Donald says his favorite things are the avocado enchiladas, people really like the ribs, and the hamburger is going to be pretty amazing too. I think the scallop tacos and chorizo and potato quesadillas sound good too. I like that they have put so much emphasis on the design, and obviously the fact that it's a locally owned restaurant is important.

After straining left shoulder, hurler likely to miss next start
TORONTO -- After being examined before Friday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Phillies hurler Antonio Bastardo is now scheduled to fly back to Philadelphia sometime during the weekend to have his strained left shoulder examined by Dr. Mike Ciccotti on Monday, according to a team spokesman.
Bastardo is likely to miss his next start, which is scheduled for Wednesday in Atlanta.
The 23-year-old Bastardo exited Thursday's game in the fourth inning with the injury.
Bastardo is 2-3 with a 6.75 ERA in five starts for the Phillies this year.
Philadelphia could pitch without a fifth starter until July 4 against the Mets at Citizens Bank Park. If the Phillies want to keep five starters through the All-Star break, they have options.
Right-hander Kyle Kendrick (4-4, 3.97 ERA) pitched Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, which means he could pitch for the club on normal rest. He allowed five hits and four runs in six innings against Indianapolis. It's also worth noting that right-hander Kyle Drabek (4-0, 2.43 ERA) pitched Thursday for Double-A Reading, giving up six hits and three runs in 7 1/3 innings against New Hampshire.
Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel was not available for comment following Friday's loss. After a closed-door team meeting that lasted about 20 minutes, his office door was shut and he did not speak to reporters.

Syracuse bloggers found a great way to fill up the Texas bowl
Like us, Syracuse is headed to Texas for their bowl. Unlike us (this year), their team is 6-6, so they're having an even harder time filling seats with orange-clad fans. So, they're working on sending a thousand underprivileged Texas kids to stand in, complete with hot dogs and orange T-shirts. Want to kick in some Bruins Nation assistance?

BY Lindsay Owens Times HErald
The Washington Times-Herald
---- — Daviess County running enthusiasts will have a chance to run for a good cause on Aug. 24 as Generations, a program geared toward helping older adults and persons with disabilities of all ages foster their independence and dignity, will be sponsoring its third annual run. The Trailblazer 5K- Blazing the Trail in Healthy Aging will begin at the Vincennes University outdoor track and field facility located at the corner of Chestnut Street and Red Skelton Boulevard.
Participants registering for the event prior to Aug. 10 are guaranteed a moisture management T-shirt. Early registration will cost $25. Registration after Aug. 10 will be $30 and there is no guarantee of a T-shirt. Registration will be begin at 7 a.m. and the run and walk will begin at 8 a.m.
Trophies will be awarded to the top male and female runners and the top three runners in each of the age divisions will receive medals.
"The 5K is one way Generations is promoting healthy aging in our community," said Alma Kramer, program coordinator for healthy aging.
"Studies have shown that older adults can gain a lot by staying physically active. That's why we encourage the walkers as well as the runners to participate in this event."
Kramer said the route, which is both safe and scenic, will run through the VU campus. This event will also feature a free half-mile fun run following the 5K. Participants in the fun run will receive participation ribbons.
"Funds raised through the 5K will help Generations continue to serve the needs of older adults in our six-county service area," said Kramer. "We are best known for our Meals on Wheels program but we offer a wide range of services that help people remain active and independent in their own homes."
Kramer said last year's event had over 130 participants including Ken Phillips of Vincennes who has ran in the event since it started. Phillips, who began running after having quadruple bypass surgery, also takes part in several other 5K and half marathon events.
He said he is astonished at the number of older people taking part in events such as this one and that are trying to help themselves by putting in time to enrich their lives.
"Since I started jogging, I'm not as tired as I used to be and mentally I feel a lot more inspired to do things," said Phillips in an interview with Generations.
This year for those that would like to support Generations but cannot participate in the run, there will also be a phantom run.
Individual phantom runner donations are $30. Phantom runners making their donations before Aug. 9 will receive a goodie bag and T-shirt. Phantom Family Runner donation packages are also available for $50 or more before Aug. 9. The family package will also include goodie bags and T-shirts with the family's name on the back of the running shirt. For every $50 donation, the family will get a goodie bag and personalized T-shirt.
Generations serves over 3,300 residents in Daviess, Dubois, Greene, Knox, Martin and Pike counties.
Those wishing to register for the 5K or phantom run can do so by going to www.trailblazer5k.com, or by contacting Alma Kramer at 812-888-4527.

Whether the Jaguars trade down will obviously be a major topic in the coming days. With all the focus on the 1st round and what the Jaguars are going to do with their pick number seven, little attention has been paid to their second round pick. In the past weeks the Jaguars have made it very clear that they desire to trade out of the 7th spot in the first round (Article) . Now this could very well be a smokescreen or some sort of pre-draft maneuvering but I think most everyone would agree there is probably a lot of truth to these reports. The problem for the Jaguars however is that the more I look at mock drafts and how the first round might play out, I can honestly see the Jaguars getting stuck at the number seven spot due to lack of trading partners. Instead I actually think that the more likely spot the Jaguars will trade down from is the number 38th pick (6th in the second round). Let me elaborate on both ideas.
The Jaguars find themselves in an extremely tough position at number seven for a host of reasons. Before I begin, obviously depending on changes to the Top 6 picks will effect how events play out. This line of reasoning is mostly based on what I think might happen, feel free to differ.
There is a general consensus that there are only six top tier players (Luck, RGIII, Kalil, Richardson, Claiborne, and Blackmon). Now obviously in recent days we have heard a host of players from Fletcher Cox to Stephen Gilmore as possible Top 6 or 7 picks, but let's assume that most teams believe these Top 6 players will be gone by the Jaguars selection. If one of these late risers does cause a Top 6 player to fall it seems that Claiborne or Blackmon would be the most likely to fall based on the needs of teams ahead and the list of risers (Cox or Tannehill). If this is the case, the Jaguars would not be trading out of the number seven spot in either scenario. If Claiborne is available, I believe the Jaguars will select him as he is the top CB and it would be a miracle if he drops to seven. Blackmon on the other hand would be an interesting situation. Based on reports , many GMs have soured on Blackmon recently and don't see a true #1 receiver in him. I really think that there would not be a market for Blackmon in terms of teams trading up. The Jaguars would either select Blackmon or pass.
Now if these Top 6 players all get drafted in some order in the top six picks, then what does that leave for available players. The biggest names associated with the Jaguars and trading down have been Fletcher Cox, Melvin Ingram, and Ryan Tannehill. Each of these players seems to have a very wide draft ranking based on who you talk too. No one will really know how much other teams would be willing to give up in order to get these players but under the new CBA, trading into the Top 10 became a slightly trickier deal. In the new CBA players selected in the Top 10 are signed to four year contracts and have a fifth year option where teams must pay the player the average of the ten highest paid players at their position. In contrast players selected in the rest of the 1st round only have to be paid the average salary of 3rd to 25th highest paid players at their position (Full Article ). As mentioned in the article, the current gap between the two average salaries is not extremely large right now (Only 3 million for a QB) but this could change in the future. This difference in contracts for Top 10 players and the rest of the first round is not a deal breaker at all for teams that want to trade up, but it is certainly something that will be factored in. Teams that are trading in the Top 10 for premium position players (QB, DE, or WR) need to have an extremely high amount of interest and faith in the player they are trading up for as players at these position could command a large 5th year salary.
The Chiefs and Seahwawks moving up for Tannehill seems like the most likely scenario if any were to happen. The problem is that the Jaguars would have to basically trade the #7th spot for very little. Both the Chiefs and Seahawks are not desperate for QB talent as they have players in place already, Cassel in KC and Flynn/Jackson in Seattle. Now obviously both teams could use an upgrade at QB don't get me wrong, I just don't think either team likes Tannehill that much to trade a 2nd or 3rd round pick in order to leap frog the Dolphins. Our friends at Arrowhead Pride seem to even think the Chiefs would trade out if Tannehill falls to them and the generally it seems the idea of the Seahawks trading up has cooled as well. The Seahawks like Tannehill but they have already signed Matt Flynn and trading away a much needed second or third round pick for him just doesn't make sense for them. If he falls into their laps at 12 then Tannehill is a real possibility but I think trading up and losing needed picks is not going to happen.
The other most talked about options are the Eagles or Jets trading up for Fletcher Cox or Melvin Ingram. I don't think either of those trades will happen due to the fact that neither team will value those players that much to trade up eight/nine picks for them. The Eagles may like Fletcher Cox but the don't seem to be willing to trade up for him as Michael Brockers also seems to be a possible option. According to Mike Mayock the Eagles are only willing to trade up for Mark Barron . Barron has been getting a lot of hype in the 10 - 15 range but I have yet to see many people think he will go Top 10 so its doubtful the Eagles would trade all the way to seven for him. The Jets trading for Ingram seems to be a better chance but even then the Jets have already traded a 4th and 6th round pick for Tim Tebow. Trading more picks away for Mark Ingram would really skrink their draft. They would really have to love Ingram to give up more picks. If the Jets were going to trade up for Ingram I believe that they would trade with Arizona if he was still available. It would mean less picks given up and they would be able to leap frog the Cowboys and Eagles who very well might be interested in him. Overall I really think the Jaguars might get stuck at the #7 spot. There are a lot of factors coming into play from player stocks falling, lack of interest and small contract issues that will slow interest. When all is said and done, I think unless the Jaguars are willing to trade out for little value they might be stuck. According to Peter King the Jaguars haven't had much interest from other teams recently which only increases the chance the Jaguars will be stuck.
Here's Todd McShay saying this exact thing:
NFL Draft Trade Hot Spots (via ESPN )
This leads me to the 38th or 6th pick in the second round. I think the Jaguars second round pick will be the pick that might be more likely to moved. The most obvious reason is that the cost of trading in the top of the second round is a lot less then the first. Teams looking to move up might only have part with a 3rd rounder or a couple later round picks to move up a few spots. This draft is very deep at a lot of positions especially in the 2nd to 3rd round range. There is a lot of value to be had there and I think the Jaguars would be willing to move back in the second if it mean't gaining an extra third rounder or if lucky second rounder.
It all starts with the players available. As we all know every draft there are a few players pegged for the first round that might fall into the start of the second. Trying to predict these fallers is extrememly difficult but if we were to take a look at some possibles. The race on WR's might find itself starting at the start of the second round as players like Wright, Jeffery and Hill seem to have lost a little steam in terms of first round momentum probably due to the huge depth of the WR class. While ESPN's blogger mock draft is not the most accurate of mocks it does give a scenario where some of these receivers can fall back into the second. Other then the WR's, there are a lot of defensive players that might fall such as Devon Still, Jared Crick, or Zach Brown as well. Offensive players such as Mike Adams or Coby Fleener might also fall out. The most interesting of these prospects is a player that was projected for the 2nd round but seems to be getting so attention of late, QB Brandon Weeden. His age seems to be the drawback from drafting him in the first but he is almost surely going to go in the 2nd as many see him as the most ready of the second tier QBs (Tannehill, Fowles, Cousins). Needless to say if only a few of these players drop into the second the start of the round might see a lot of trades.
That brings me to the next big reason why the start of the second might see more trades, teams have more ammunition. In the first round in order to move up teams would either need to trade multiple firsts or second round picks. The teams that would have these picks to spare are the Browns, Bengals and Patriots but the Browns seem content with keeping their picks and the Patriots rarely trade up. The Bengals are the most likely to trade up but like the Eagles and Jets, trading all the way to 7 would be a large price considering they are a young, growing team. Instead look at teams that have multiple second or third round picks: Rams (33,39,65), Dolphins (42,72,73), Patriots (48,62,93), Eagles (46,51,88). These teams have a lot of ammo to move around the 2nd and 3rd rounds at a relatively cheap price.
There are endless scenarios for trades the Jaguars could make and it will ultimately come down to who is available and which players teams are willing to trade for, but for now lets look at a couple situations I could see happening. I could honestly see a team that missed out on Tannehill trying to make a trade up for Brandon Weeden or a team who really likes on of the falling WR's to trade up a couple spots. After the first round teams seem to be more willing to trade as it costs less such as last year where there were five trades in the first round and nine in the second. In general teams and draftnicks seem to think there is a lot more value in the second day (Check out these articles, on Sporting News and this amazing article by Pat Kirwan ). These article explain how teams are really going to get max value for their picks on Day 2. Where as on the first day teams might find themselves reaching as value won't meet the pick location in a lot of spots. This is one of the prime reasons I think the Jaguars will not get a trade partner at #7, there are no players who really would be a good value at #7. Obviously in the second round with a lot of great value picks, teams would be more likely to move up or down. I could easily see the Jaguars taking advantage of a falling player to fall back in the second and gain a few extra picks.
Now obviously most this article is pure speculation. I am not a draft expert and even the few articles I cited by experts don't really know the true story. The entire pre-draft process is filled with lies and smokescreens. The draft is also extremely unpredictable and one change can have a domino effect on the rest of the draft. This article is just my honest opinion with some ideas and theories thrown in. So if you think I'm wrong, go right ahead tell me I'm wrong and why you think otherwise. No matter what happens the draft day on Thursday will be exciting and great to watch.

TASWELL, IN (WAVE) – An extremely disturbing case of child abuse is unfolding in Crawford County. A couple is arrested and accused of 44 felonies against four children.
WAVE 3 News has learned these four children were in the foster care system. We've learned the four victims at one time were foster children of Bernie and Melissa Harmon until they legally adopted them.
In a house on Brown Cemetery Road, investigators believe a nightmare unfolded. Indiana State Police started investigating the Harmon's in March after getting a tip about possible neglect and abuse. Police arrested the husband and wife at their home last week.
Bernie and Melissa Harmon remain locked up at the Crawford County Jail. Bernie is charged with 32 felonies. Melissa with 12 felonies.
The 46-year-old father is accused of child molestation, sexual misconduct with a minor, vicarious sexual gratification and battery. His wife, a contracted Crawford County school bus driver, is charged with 12 counts of neglect.
Friday was the first day of classes for Crawford County Community Schools. Superintendent Mark Eastridge says Melissa will no longer be driving for the district.
WAVE 3 News has also learned at one time, Bernie was also a bus driver.
The Harmon's adult son did not want to speak about the serious allegations against his parents.
At this time it's not clear how long the alleged abuse was going on.
Bernie Harmon is being held on $50,000 full cash bond. Melissa Harmon is being held on $20,000 full cash. The children are now in the custody of the state.

Olympic men's hockey has another slate of interesting matches on Sunday. NBC continues to pull out all the stops on their hockey coverage, showing all four matches live on their family of networks. As always, you can watch them online at NBCOlympics.com.
The first match starts at 3 a.m. ET, when Austria and Norway face off. With both teams 0-2, a win will be a crucial stepping stone for either team to reach the next round. That's just the opening act for the next block, when the United States attempts an encore act after a huge victory over Russia. Team USA will be facing Slovenia at 7:30 a.m. on NBCSN, hoping to stay in first place in their group. The Slovenians got their first win over Slovakia on Saturday.
Speaking of Slovakia, they're still winless and now take on Russia, who are looking to recover from a heartbreaking loss on their home turf.. A win could be a tall order for the Slovaks here. The final game of the day starts at 12 p.m., when Canada faces Finland. Both teams are undefeated and a win would give either one complete control over their group.
Here's the complete TV schedule (all times ET):
3 a.m. - Austria vs. Norway, USA Network
7:30 a.m. - USA vs. Slovenia, NBCSN
7:30 a.m. - Russia vs. Slovakia, USA Network
