"9 to 5" (1980)
"9 to 5" is one of the gold standards of the workplace comedy; one that all others are undoubtedly measured up against (with most found wanting by comparison). The movie, which still seems cutting edge today, concerns three women (Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton) who conspire to get back at their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" of a boss, played memorably by Dabney Coleman at his oily best. Coleman is a character who walks through the office and people literally shudder and clutch themselves in terror. But the movie quite obviously belongs to the women, each of them fierce and terrifically funny (when Parton threatens Coleman with turning him from "a rooster into a hen," you can't help but giggle maniacally), even if the filmmakers' attempt to make Jane Fonda "mousy" fails miserably (she's still a total fox). Workplace comedies only, er, work if you can identify with your protagonists and if the professional place that the film attempts to conjure is one that you can totally believe yourself inhabiting. In the case of "9 to 5," both are totally true. Coleman is a boss everyone has had (maybe more so before sexual harassment laws were regularly enforced) and the go-go-go eighties office is perfectly actualized. (It serves as a wonderful time capsule.) The legacy of "9 to 5" is greater than most workplace comedies, too, having inspired a television series and a well-reviewed Broadway musical (thanks largely to its immortal theme song by Parton, which we'll be singing all day now, thankyouverymuch).
Fatih Akin, the filmmaker behind international arthouse hits like "Head-On" and "The Edge Of The Universe," has always marched to the beat of his own drum, pursuing whatever cinematic alleyway stokes his interest at the moment. Still, few were prepared for the filmmaker to make what is essentially a madcap mainstream comedy with "Soul Kitchen." There's not much in the way of bruising drama to be found in this tale of Zinos, a well-meaning but flaky and underachieving owner/chef of a barely surviving restaurant. But keeping the business afloat isn't his only worry: his girlfriend is getting tired of watching him spin his wheels and has taken a job overseas; his brother has been recently paroled and can only stay out by (reluctantly) taking a job at the restaurant; a new chef hired for the restaurant pushes his impenetrably fancy food and this is all while a sleazy (and cartoonish) businessman eyes buying the property outright. So yeah, this is wacky in every sense of the word, but for at least the first hour of so, it's endearing and engaging. As a workplace movie, we'd wager Akin's depiction of the food industry is purely imaginative, and this is all heightened in the way that most movies/reality shows are about being chefs. And while the movie overplays its hand in the final act, it's heart is in the right place more often than not, and this comedic diversion is dish worth tasting.
While certainly not anyone's idea of a classic, "Career Opportunities" has got major nostalgia points as well as that magical "I wonder what it would be like to be stuck in a department store all night" glimmer that still manages to capture your imagination in a very real and vibrant way. John Hughes wrote and produced "Career Opportunities," which opened a year after his smash "Home Alone" but without a similar reception. Frank Whaley, with a doo-wop swoop of black hair, plays a Ferris Bueller-ish wise acre who is forced to get a job as a nighttime janitor at a local Target. He's locked in overnight, however, which turns out not be such a bad thing when he stumbles upon Jennifer Connelly, who plays a comely runaway. Of course, as tends to happen in John Hughes scripts (especially from that time period), a pair of bumbling burglars (played by real-life brothers Dermot and Kieran Mulroney) break into the store and hold the two hostage. While not the best workplace comedy ever, it still manages to retain certain threads of authenticity and Connelly is at her most magnetically movie-star-ish here (something that never materialized but really should have). More importantly, it captures that moment in young adulthood when you've got to start doing something, anything really, and stop fucking around. A tough lesson, but one that goes down smooth when Hughes is delivering it.
If someone tried to mount an adaptation of Nick Hornby's beloved novel today, they would probably have to make it a period movie, since record shops like the one it's centered around are such a rarified scarcity these days. Thankfully that wasn't quite the case when Stephen Frears made his adaptation, swapping out the book's London location for Chicago and changing the name of the lead character to a less British moniker. The record store is called Championship Vinyl and John Cusack owns and manages it. His employees are a team of mismatched super-geeks played by Jack Black (in a breakthrough performance) and Todd Louiso. "I knew when I was auditioning that it was going to be a very specific and special film for our generation," Louiso recently told us. And you know what? He was right. Everything about Championship Vinyl is warmly identifiable – either you recognize yourself in the customers or the employees (or maybe the video store equivalent of the store). Championship Vinyl could be anywhere, but it's mostly in our hearts.
The Weitz Brothers oeuvre is all over the map: Together they both directed "American Pie," and "About A Boy" and when they went solo, Chris directed things like "The Golden Compass" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." Paul Weitz, however, has mostly stayed within the humanistic drama field ("Little Fockers" notwithstanding) and his best film is 2004's "In Good Company" starring Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, and Scarlett Johansson. A work place dramedy set in the world of advertising, Quaid plays an aging ad exec whose life is upended when his company is bought and he's faced with the prospect of a cocky, hot shot boss who is half his age (Grace). Friction is already deep in the air from the young and old dichotomy, but complications exacerbate when Grace starts dating Quaid's younger daughter played by Johansson. It's a bit predictable and sounds largely hackneyed and bland, but "In Good Company" is surprisingly soulful, rich and satisfying (no really, Andrew Sarris named it the Best American picture of 2004, which is admittedly, a huge exaggeration, but it does point to the fact that this movie is much more than it appears; Roger Ebert was also a fan). Like "The Internship," (and other workplace comedies on this list), it takes pleasure in pitting the old and potentially antiquated against the up-and-coming. And yes, there are cliches to be found. The old dog proves that not only can he learn new tricks, but he show the younger guys a thing or two, and perhaps that's severely on the nose, but this movie about the evils of corporate culture is surprisingly charming, funny and contains a lot of heart. Another thing that doesn't hurt the movie's tender tone (and arguably helps a lot), and a strong soundtrack that includes David Byrne, Iron & Wine, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, Steely Dan and more.

Why is 'Waiting' not on this list?? At first glance, it looks like a dumb, easy comedy, but when you watch it, it's actually kind of genius. The whole thing takes place in just one day-- at a typical chain restaurant one finds usually on the fringe of a mall or shopping center. Anyone who has ever waited tables or at least worked in such a place can relate to it. It follows multiple haphazard plot lines, just as one often does find multiple themes recurring among certain people throughout a typical work day. There are laugh-out-loud moments, but there are also ones that really make you think about what it means to work in the same low-pay job for long periods of time, and whether or not it's really worth it to go finish that college education.

Please get your hands on this Indian film called Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year. Can easily fit in the list.

What about Adventureland? Sure it doesn't take place in a traditional office but it is still a workplace dark comedy.

Clerks is terrible. Huducker Proxy is overrated (though I love the Coen Bros). Glad to see His Girl Friday and Swimming with Sharks.

Oh and how can u not include a film that's title is "Horrible Bosses"? I know u all didn't like that movie either but I have to admit I just love Justin Bateman.
cirkusfolk | June 6, 2013 3:56 PM
I clicked on the article to see two things: 1) To see if The Promotion was mentioned. It was (barely). And 2) To say Extract is actually better than Office Space because I knew the article was going to compare the two.

Washington - Cheryl Cole has admitted that she finds the whole rigmarole of red carpet 'terrifying'.
The 28-year-old admits that although the red carpet might look glamorous, in truth it's far from it.
"For the record, it's terrifying. We once had this nightmare where my dress ripped here, somebody was sewing here, my nail had just chipped so somebody was painting them,†Contactmusic quoted her as telling Stylist magazine.
''Then I walked out, tripped in the middle of the corridor, grabbed the security guy and tore all my nail polish off. I had burgundy nail polish all down my white dress. So I said, 'Wait until I figure out how I am going to manoeuvre this handbag so that my nails are covered'.
''So, that's how I walked down the carpet. It was absolute pandemonium. Anyone who says that they love red carpets is lying. Getting dressed up is the best part. And champagne after the event - that's even better,†she added.

All the other products I used made my hair lifeless and greasy. Last night I used this product for the first time. It made my hair soft & silky without the grease. I have so much body and bounce today. It's a keeper!
I love this product! I spray it on my extensions a couple times a day to keep them hydrated silky and smooth. Aswell as my regular hair! A must have for chi lovers!
I messed up my hair really bad awhile ago, this helped my hair so much. It is smooth and silky. Its a great product.
I bought this on a whim after being disappointed with every other leave-in conditioner I'd come across. After dying my hair and using the conditioner from the dye pack, my hair STILL felt like it was fried. I sprayed the CHI on and my hair felt and looked better than it did before I'd dyed it! I also love that the stuff doesn't make your hair feel greasy/oily or hairsprayed. I'd definitely recommend!!!
My hairstylist used it on my hair before cutting and styling it. I've been using it ever since.

Yonhap has an interesting interview posted with North Korean military expert Joseph Bermudez
Such is the Korean Peninsula's global profile that there are overseas experts on all aspects of Korea, from politics to literature, from martial arts to cuisine.
In the mountains of the U.S. state of Colorado, one man has carved a particularly arcane niche: Joseph Bermudez, 56, is possibly the world's top non-Korean expert on the North Korean People's Army, or KPA, which ranks as the world's fifth largest with 1.1 million soldiers.
An analyst for prestigious defense publisher Janes, founder of the KPA Journal and author of books on North Korean special forces and ballistic missiles, Bermudez is a consultant for government agencies in the United States and worldwide on Kim Jong-il's military machine.
So how did a native of middle America become a specialist on the KPA?
"I always had an interest in military history and became friends with a group of people who were military history enthusiasts,"Bermudez said in a telephone interview. "One day, one of those friends who was in government called up and said, 'A major who is being sent to Korea needs some help with a project.'"
As a defense analyst, Bermudez's early specialization was the Middle East and ballistic missiles; the suggested project was an overview of the KPA. However, he was able to assist the major, and he has never looked back.
"Anyone who does anything for more than 25 years gets quite good at it, I assume," he said, adding that he now has a wealth of sources on tap.
"I read everything publicly available and have amassed a large collection of declassified intelligence documents," he said. "I have had an even greater opportunity to meet with officials from around the world concerning the subject and have spoken to North Korean defectors."
There seems to be two broad strands of opinion among pundits: One is that the KPA is ill-fed, ill-equipped and, barring a few elite units, a hollow shell. The other is that it is a credible, motivated and formidable force. Bermudez tends to lean toward the latter opinion.
"Compared to any Western army, the KPA is essentially an obsolescing military, but its troops are amazingly well disciplined," he said. "There are cases where fathers and sons have served in the same units, and those units have trained for the same mission for decades." [Yonhap]
You can read the rest at the link, but it is easy to keep military discipline when ones entire family would be subject to being imprisoned in a North Korean gulag. The threat of the gulag in the back of a Soldier's mind and the need for food along with the constant brainwashing ideology are why North Korea is able to maintain a relatively well trained force in my opinion. However, I am willing to bet that the capabilities of the North Korean military are widely divergent depending on where they are stationed. For example I would expect front line units along the DMZ to maintain a high level of readiness, but with all the reports of corrupt military personnel along the Sino-North Korean border I suspect that those units' discipline and training are severely lacking. Some of the more expensive to train units like their helicopter and fixed wing pilots I would also expect are not well trained either.

Mount Carmel guard Christian Searles said he's still finding his way on the court after missing time with the state championship football team.
The junior can call off his search.
Searles poured in a career-high 28 points as the Caravan used a crisp offense to rack-up assists in an 80-59 Chicago Catholic League victory over St. Francis de Sales on Friday.
"(Searles) did some incredible stuff," St. Francis de Sales coach Kevin Wolfe said. "We knew he was a good ball handler, but we didn't know he could get his shot off in space that quickly."
Searles buried five three-pointers including one from NBA-range. The three from deep was the first of consecutive treys coming on passes from Nick Johnson to balloon the Caravan lead 54-33.
"Once I shot in the one from deep, everything was downhill form there," Searles said. "I practice those kinds of shots and coach (Mike Flaherty) allows me to shoot it because he knows I put in the work."
Johnson tossed in 10 points and pulled down nine boards and junior Gabriel Grant scored 14 with a feathery jump shot on display.
St. Francis de Sales (2-10, 1-3) played without leading scorer Tyler Streeter due to illness. Raashod Fenner led the Pioneers with 21 points and nine rebounds and Derrick Dawson chipped in 13 and five assists.
Mount Carmel (4-5, 2-2) converted 31 field goals off 18 assists, and eight of its players dished out passes for buckets.
"When we drive and kick and share the ball, that's when we play well," Searles added. "Sometimes we do too much 1-on-1 and that's when we put ourselves in a hole."
"Christian played very well," Flaherty said. "Once he and our football guys really get their legs under them, I think we'll be a pretty good team."

Martin Scorsese presents Surviving Progress, a doom-and-gloom-fueled compilation film inspired by the book A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright. Tackling a bunch of issues and signs that point to humanity's likely downfall — or even extinction — co-directors Mathieu Roy and Harold Crooks (one of the writers of The Corporation) address the financial crisis, overpopulation, increasing industrialization, the destruction of the Amazon rain forest, and greater existential questions regarding the nature of progress, good and bad.
Tonally it's a very dark doc, but aesthetically it's a great looking film, and one I warmed up to more in a second viewing. It might leave you with more cynicism than outrage, more depressed than hopeful, but it should provoke some response. Features interviews with Stephen Hawking, Margaret Atwood, Jane Goodall, Ronald Wright and more.
Also see my in-depth interview with Mathieu Roy here.

1st Scenario:
Im on a Mission to build the Best/Perfect Mock Draft For the Bengals
Round 1.17-David DeCastro OG Stanford
- There's a big chance of DeCastro falling to us at 17, I think so as well to, look what teams out there need a Pure OG, Chiefs??Cardinals??Cowboys?? They all have bigger needs than O-line, Look the Chiefs need a WR opposite of Bowe, and also they need some more help on defense with their front 7 I think they will go Kuechly. For the Cardinals, they have other needs, they need a LT and they need another OLB/DE rusher, they also need to get a lot younger on defense as well too. Cowboys, just need a lot of help, there's a chance they may get DeCastro, but when they overspent(aka to Cowboys fans, a great spending on Livings) they seem set, just need a OLB/DE opposite of DeMarcus Ware, also they want a CB as well, I hear they want Jenkins out.
- Analysis: Bengals getting DeCastro will be a huge uplifting moment, DeCastro will improve the O-line Big time which will allow the RBBC and give Dalton more time, but to win you must protect your QB and control the line of Scrimmage.
Round 1.21-Stephon Gilmore CB South Carolina
- I debated over and over again with myself to either go Gilmore or Kirkpatrick. After doing a lot of film study and looking at tapes over and over again, I think the way to go is Gilmore, but the real question for me every time i look at how Gilmore plays, he doesnt have the top end speed we need for a #1 CB, I know people want Leon Hall to be our #1 CB, but i dont want to rush the guy onto the field that quickly. For Kirkpatrick, he plays with a lot of speed, but his techniques is a work in progress at the moment, he plays aggressively and he is a huge hitter, sometimes forgetting to wrap the ball carrier. but I have chosen Gilmore over Kirkpatrick.
- Analysis: The Bengals get a high rising prospect who is climbing on a lot of people's draft boards. Gilmore has the size and the body type to either play man or zone, which will help him in Zimmer's System. Hopefully he can stick 4.3 WR's like Wallace and Brown or maybe just tell Mays and Nelson to lay the lumber on them
Round 2.53- Isaiah Pead RB Cincinnati
- Say whatever you want about Pead, I think Pead is a special player, I wanted to go with James, but he has injury history and also the off-field issue and maybe is a bit too small in the AFC North, if he had more meat and a bigger build and keeping his speed at a 4.3 or 4.4 no doubt he will be taken here. But on Pead, I think he will be very effective in the WCO look at it, can catch, run and line-up as a WR to creat mis-matches across the boards.
- Analysis: Pead is a game changer and can carry the load, but with Pead coming into our RBBC system he will get his touches and make opposing Defense worry all game long, because with is quick cuts and his style of play, he can change the game in an instant from breaking a long run and sealing the deal.
Round 3.83- Marvin Jones WR California
- I was hoping for Sanu, but I dont think he will be here at #53, so i decided to go with Jones a WR who i watched a lot because Im on the west coast and i see a lot of Cal games, I think he was great this season when he was the #2 WR his teammate took all the highlights Keenan Allen, Remember that name he is going to be a beast. But on to my point, Jones is like a Chad Johnson, without all the talking. I think he will come-in and compete with Armon Binns from day one and whoever wins will get the #2WR spot.
- Analysis: Jones is a great player, reminds me a lot of Chad Johnson, the Johnson who at one point and time tore up the NFL causing Teams to double and triple team him, but Jones is still a work in progress, I think the Bengals will be pleased with Jones and Green on the field, Jones may not have the speed to stretch the defense, but he will be effective YAC which is needed in the WCO, so teams better be ready for this Offense soon.
Round 4.116-Philip Blake C Baylor
- Bengals never really address the issue of a true-backup Center, they been going with G's and trying them out at Center which often dont workout that way, I think Blake will help the O-line Bigtime he can probably sit a year and learn behind Kyle Cook as well as try out at OT, everyone knows he can play Guard already so its going to be great
- Analysis: Blake will be a great pick here, the Bengals never have a True-back-up Center to Cook and Blake knows how to play Guard as well which makes it more better a true Center who can play G as well too which is a great benefit to the team in general.
Round 5.156- Janzen Jackson FS McNeese State
- Jackson will be a beast, look at how Eric Berry plays, I think he will be as great a Eric Berry when given the chance, and I think he will be able to come in and fight for a roster spot at Safety or either CB
- Analysis: was once a top recruit coming into college, and has all the tools and ability to play and be as great as Eric Berry, I think he will be somewhat similar to Berry with his play style and being all over the field, 1st start will be on ST and maybe in some package of CB/S Hybrid player
Round 5.166-Dale Moss WR North Dakota State
- A two way athlete who can light it up, he's a great player and is tall and has the length to make an impact. Played Basketball as well as Football which makes him even more Scary, look at all those players who play basketball and played in the NFL, Gonzalez, Gates, Graham. Those guys are lighting it up, Moss may also do the same.
- Analysis: At his pro day he ran a 4.3 40 and he had a 41 inch vertical if i can remember. But think guy will come in can make it more interesting at the WR position.
Doug Martin Debate
- First things first, Im not a huge fan of getting a RB in the 1st unless its Richardson. I dont think that Martin will be a great fit into our system. BJGE is doing the role of carry the load type back who can block and do mostly everything.
- Not hating on Martin or anyone out there, just pointing it out
I think that Martin wont be a huge star if he come here, the Bengals are running a RBBC which is just missing one piece to it, like a true speedster like James, Pead or Rainey. All those guys are what the Bengals need, some may say why settle for less when you can get another complete package RB, Look, I'll have to say if he get Martin where does that leave BJGE. So what we just abandon him and run him during crunch time when we need to run out the clock?? Or do we just simply bench him and have him limited in RBBC?? I think it wont be a great fit.
Look at the smaller RB's in the league
- Ray Rice
Both guys are the MAIN WEAPONS on their team, which makes them so effective and top players, if you but them with a top notch QB like Brady or Manning or Brees or Rodgers, Etc.. they wont have the same numbers because they arent going to be the 1st option on the team.
So the best thing is to bring in a RB with top end speed look for James, Pead or Rainey
Let me hear it Fellow Cincyjungle Fans
and Feedbacks on the draft as well

Hatsu Hioki training alongside Georges St. Pierre HT: Nightmare Of Battle
Shooto 143-pound champion Hatsu Hioki (21-4-2) will return to Sengoku against Ultimate Fighter alum Jeff Lawson (14-3) at SRC 14 on August 22nd, according to Shiroobi of Skill MMA. Photo by Dan Herbertson for Sherdog.
Cage Force Featherweight Champion Yuji Hoshino (16-7-7) will make his Sengoku debut on November 7th against Featherweight King of Pancrase Marlon Sandro (14-1). Hoshino holds a record of 8-0-3 since 2004; however, he hasn't fought since his unanimous decision win over "Wicky" Akiyo Nishiura last December. Sandro is coming off the first loss of his career to Michihiro Omigawa in the Sengoku FWGP semifinals, a match which most felt Sandro won.
Sweet new Sengoku 1st Anniversary t-shirts, Hatsu Hioki posters and Josh Barnett mobile charms. They'll be on sale at the Satoru Kitaoka autograph signing this Friday before Sengoku VII - whoever's going, pick me up a size large? :)

Well, in nearly 15 years of marriage, we have only bought 2 pieces of furniture. Our waterbed, and our sectional, which is now over 13 years old.
This past month, since half our kitchen chairs had broken, and our hand-me-down couches were literally falling apart, we decided it was time to buy some furniture.
And this is what we purchased. A 60" square table that seats 8. We cut the legs off and purchased the dining height chairs, because most square tables only come in counter height, which we didn't want.
And some couches for the living room. Bonded Leather on the armrests and cover, with corduroy micro-fiber cushions and pillows. We also bought a shock collar for the dog. (So he won't sit on them)

I've been on crutches twice in my life. In High School I partially tore my achilles, and spent about 5 weeks hobbling around. No surgery was required.
About a year ago I came down on someone's foot playing basketball, heard a "pop" and had to hop off the court. My ankle swelled up like a grapefruit, but luckily it was just a sprain. In a couple of days I could manage getting around in a boot.
My sophmore year in High School I broke my collar bone playing basketball, too. It was painful, and it was probably 6 weeks before I could tie my shoes, put on a shirt, or wipe without pain and discomfort.
When it's all said and done, my experience with injuries is very, very limited. But even with this limited experience I know one thing for sure: being hurt sucks. There's the physical aspect, the pain, struggling with basic tasks like getting in and out of a car, going up stairs, or taking a shower. There's also the emotional aspect. I missed most of my sophmore season with that broken collar bone, and it wasn't easy going to games and practices, not being able to participate.
Greg Oden hasn't sacrificed himself on the court in the way Walton or Roy did, but he has given just as much in his effort and desire to be a Trail Blazer. Surgery after surgery, learning to walk again time and time again. He has put in the time and effort, and we owe him some love and respect. These haven't been elective surgeries. He's not sitting out games because of a toothache either. By all indications he has worked hard each time to come back. He's just a kid, really, but his body may never be right again. That's not an easy thing to cope with.
I went to the Denver game a few weeks ago, and was pretty disappointed in my fellow Blazer fans who booed when Greg's picture was shown on the big screen. Seriously? If we're going to demand class and character from our players, we owe them the same in return. You don't have to love the way his career has turned out (I'm sure he's far from thrilled himself), but he deserves much better from us as fans.

Law school team wins regional ABA Client Counseling Competition
Feb. 12, 2014 - School of Law students Emily Kaas and Chris Satti, both members of the school's Society for Dispute Resolution (SDR), won the American Bar Association's regional Client Counseling competition held Feb. 9 at Touro Law Center in Central Islip, N.Y.
Two Quinnipiac teams took part in the regional ABA Client Counseling Competition held Feb. 9 in New York. Both teams advanced to the semifinals and the Quinnipiac team of Emily Kaas and Christopher Satti won in the final round, beating 15 other teams. (From left): Quinnipiac law students Katrina Cessna, who served as a coach; Satti; Lindsay Keeler, who served as a coach; 2L Chelsea Ruzzo; Kaas; and 1L Cate Blair
Fifteen teams from law schools in the Northeast competed. The win allows Kaas and Satti to advance to the national competition, which will be held March 21-22 at the University of Oklahoma College of Law in Norman, Okla. Twelve teams from around the country will compete at nationals.
Quinnipiac sent two teams to the regional competition and both advanced to the semifinal round. Kaas and Satti, both first-year law students, emerged with the top scores after five rounds of competition.
During the competition, students are presented with a fact pattern and are asked to counsel a client on the issue. Students must quickly develop a rapport with clients and educate them on the laws related to their case. Teams are given a score by a panel of judges after each round.
Students spend weeks preparing for the competition, reviewing possible scenarios related to this year's competition topic, First Amendment law. The Quinnipiac team was assisted by a coach, Katrina Cessna, a fellow law student and president of the SDR; Lindsay Keeler, a third-year law student who coached Quinnipiac's other team in the competition; the two Quinnipiac law students who also competed, Chelsea Ruzzo and Cate Blair; and Carolyn Kaas, associate professor of law and co-director of the school's Center on Dispute Resolution.
"For me, this competition was so important because it gauges how well you can connect with a client right off the bat, and how comfortable, respected, and heard you make them feel," said Emily Kaas. "If you can do that, then you'll have their trust and their respect moving forward."
Satti says the competition was an invaluable experience, both for his future law career and on a personal level. "Experiencing any interpersonal relationship and being able to relate to another is a fundamental element of society. Being able to associate and empathize with another human being is truly a powerful experience. It was just a plus that I can use this experience toward my legal career."
The team's victory marks the start of another successful year for the student organization. In 2013, students from the SDR were named regional champions in the ABA Negotiation Competition and advanced to the national semifinals. A Quinnipiac team also placed second in the regionals of the ABA Mediation Competition.
"Client counseling is a fundamental professional skill," says Jennifer Brown, dean of the School of Law. "This is something that lawyers of all varieties do every day. We are thrilled that the Society for Dispute Resolution gives our students such wonderful opportunities to build this essential skill."

Smart students raise more than £1,000 for Syria's children
Updated 1:02pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News By Kate Wilson, Reporter
SMART pupils from King's Stanley Primary School have raised more than £1,000 for children in Syria.
The students on the school council gave every child a tube of Smarties which they were asked to fill with coins and then donate the money to the charity Save The Children.
All the loose change from the tubes, plus one grandad's carrier bag of change, added up to a total of £655.05 which the Government has pledged to match bringing it up to £1310.10.

A federal judge may dismiss a lawsuit filed by Michigan and other Great Lakes states, over Asian Carp.
The judge dismissed the claims, by Michigan and four other states, but did say they can amend the lawsuit.
The states will have until January 1st to file amended claims against the Army Corps of Engineers.
The lawsuit is seeking an order, requiring the Corps to create a physical barrier in waterways that connect Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River.
This would help prevent Asian Carp from getting into the Great Lakes.
The judge says the action demanded by States is outside the Corps' authority.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Two Lubbock men admit to drug charges in separate cases. Ricky Reyes admits to possession and distribution of cocaine. Court records say a confidential source, under the direction of federal agents, purchased cocaine from someone who in turn got the drugs from Reyes at his residence southeast of Lubbock city limits in June 2008. Reyes will be sentenced at a later date to no more than 20 years in prison.
In a completely separate case, Carlos Puente admits he sold cocaine to a confidential source who was working under the direction of federal agents. This was at his home in the 3100 block of Jarvis in December 2007. Puente will be sentenced at a later date to no more than 20 years in prison.

Report: 'Fast Food CEOs Rake In Taxpayer-Subsidized Pay'
Posted on Dec 5, 2013
While fast food workers stage a one-day strike, a report from the Global Economy Project shows how the industry's CEOs have subsidized their own multimillion dollar salaries with taxpayer funds in addition to saving money by paying employees low wages. Report author Sarah Anderson explains.
Anderson, who is director of the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies, told "Democracy Now!" on Thursday of the finding, "this is a perverse loophole in our tax code that essentially means that the more corporations pay their CEO, the less they pay in taxes. And that's because there is this loophole that allows companies to deduct unlimited amounts from their corporate income taxes for the expense of executive pay, as long as it's so-called performance pay—so, stock options and other bonuses that are configured in a way to qualify for this tax loophole. And what it means essentially is that ordinary taxpayers are subsidizing excessive CEO pay."

I am already trolling the mock drafts for 2011. One draft site (drafttek) lets you prioritize what you think your team needs and then projects the draft. In putting a priority on a stud DE and a franchise QB this site had the Bills picking the following:
1st round - 1st overall - Robert Quinn - DE - North Carolina
2nd round - Jake Locker - QB - Washington
3rd round - Olrando Franklin - OT - Miami
4th round - Joseph Barksdale - OT - LSU
4th round - Lynch trade - Lance Kendricks - TE - Wisconson
5th round - Chris Galippo - ILB - USC
6th round - Titus Young - WR - Boise State
7th round - Ryan Van Bergen - DE - Michigan
In my opinion the first four picks are what we need bad. If we are able to pick up some talent through free agency on the defensive side of the ball we would be a better team. Your thoughts.

Those who never had the opportunity to venture into Panto Land with City Theatre's "Snow White: A British Panto" will get their chance when the sequel, "Peter Pan: A British Panto," comes to City Theater. The sequel falls into the Hollywood sequel trap, lacking the same freshness, originality and luster as its predecessor.
A panto is a type of theatre comedy genre where gender roles are mixed and the action follows no logical sequence.
"Peter Pan" is still comical and farcical but with vocals being extra pitchy and off-key, they could shatter windows and the chasing sequences are way too long drawn. They would run and run and run in circles throughout most of the first act. There's even a line from one of songs a pirate sings amidst the tediously lengthy chases and screams.
"I don't know what I've been told but chasing Peter Pan is getting kind of old," sings Sarah Rowland, as the character of Assistant Captain Crunch, toward the end of the first act.
And what happened to the title character? The play is titled "Peter Pan" but he was practically missing from the whole production. When Amelia Van Brunt, who portrays Peter Pan, does appear…» Read More

Bias? What Bias?
The bias of most of the main stream media is well known, but a current example by CBS is beyond parody:
Over the years, pro-life activists have come to accept that the media isn't interested in their annual March for Life in Washington D.C. protesting abortion, even though it routinely attracts hundreds of thousands of people. But this year's photo slideshow hosted on a local Washington CBS website has activists scratching their heads in disbelief.
Currently the March for Life slideshow of seven photos features protesters who actually support abortion; none of the photos actually feature pro-life marchers.
Go here to read the rest of the story. After they were deluged by complaints CBS did include some pics of a few of the 400,000 pro-lifers who marched in the March for Life. The pro-abort bias of old media stalwarts like CBS is an old, old story. What is new is the ability of pro-lifers through new media to hold such examples of bias up to scorn and ridicule. Have at it!

What is this "CBS" of which you speak?
For the hollow sound of a little empty laughter.
C ensorship B y S atan.
Wow, PM!!! You sure have got it right CBS is the Voice of Satan. But, hey, nothing to worry about. The Truth is never killed……it always triumphs in the end. They can censor and distort the desire of Americans to do away with Infanticide and respect the sanctity of Life from Conception to Natural Death, but eventually we shall win because we are fighting for God.

It's been a long time coming that Amelia Arsenic, the triple threat behind DestroyX & Miss X Aesthetic Laboratories was featured on here. From a make-up line & accompanying make-up tutorials (Miss X Cosmetics) to a jewelry line (Miss X Jewelry Division) to performing and touring with Angelspit, she really does it all. Have I mentioned she also does graphic design AND is crafty fashionista (often sewing & designing parts of her wardrobe)?
Phew. I get exhausted just listing the creative output of this lady, let alone thinking about how she does it all.
I was instantly struck by Amelia's make-up line when she launched it several months ago. Vibrant mineral make-up with musically inclined titles like Tonight Tonight and Doll Parts; faux eyelashes showcasing her flare for the theatrical, avant garde, and dramatic; make-up brushes featuring her signature brand & aesthetic. Her cosmetic line doesn't just fall in to the trap of being cosmetics, but rather, promotes a lifestyle– "For those who like their lashes long/ Their colors loud/ And their make up fierce/ Make up for the avant garde" — Sounds like my kind of life!
It wasn't too long ago that Amelia announced the new jewelry division of her line. When the line came out, I went head over heels for her "piece de resistance"– the black crest necklace. My heart nearly shattered when I thought it was sold out with no chance of re-release… so when I saw that it was back in stock, I snatched one up as quickly as possible!
The Miss X jewelry collection is bold and playful, in Amelia's signature colors of black, red, and white…. and while some of the pieces may not fit my aesthetic, I can certainly appreciate those who can wear them. I loved seeing how Amelia incorporated them in to her outfits while traveling and performing around the US recently! They looked great against daily wear of t-shirts and scarves, too…
I had the chance to ask Amelia some questions about her Miss X lines, and here's what she had to say.
Someone who is not afraid to wear colour and make a statement with their appearance. Most makeup brands are obsessed with natural beauty and predictable glamour, but the Miss X wearer like their makeup fierce and bold.
What are the inspirations for your Miss X lines?
For the current lines I've been inspired by popular culture, Andy Warhol, street art and my obsession with pop medical imagery. Since I am also a graphic designer, a lot of my influences are from the world of design. So many typefaces make me giddy with excitement and form the basis for many of my designs.
If you could put any piece from your collection on the body of any person, which piece on who, and why?
I would love to put my crest necklace on Daphne Guiness. She's a strong woman with an amazing sense of style in many ways similar to my own. She's not afraid to experiment, go against what everyone else is wearing and wears clothing that defies expectation.
If you could create a collection, without cost, supplies, and inspiration holding you back, what elements would we see in it?
I'd probably create a collection that would be more akin to wearable art, with body armour being a key concept. I'd be interested in working with others who know more about materials and fabrication than I do, as I come from a graphic design background, so I don't have as much knowledge as an industrial designer might.
I'd definitely like to dabble with precious metals and stones and create pieces that would have more longevity. That's one of the things I struggle with, having to make compromises and not being able to use the finest materials available due to cost restraints of the market. I'm never at a loss for inspiration, normally dreaming big is my downfall as I spend all of my money making my crazy visions come to life, only to realise that I need to make some kind of profit somehow!
I'm currently designing a new jewellery range as we speak which is going to be released in May. It's inspired by the concept of decay, rogue taxidermy, victorian momento mori and animal anatomy. I'm very excited about exploring new imagery for the new line, as it's moving away from my signature medical style which I am known for.
The new beauty line which I'm working on concurrently is going to feature brand new packaging, pressed eyeshadow, makeup palettes, new improved formulas and several new colours. We will also be releasing several updated eyelash designs with better included glue and packaging. I'm hoping to up the ante with better production, wider retail distribution and want to create more a community around the brand through tutorials and Miss X events.
Thank you so much, Amelia!

Embarkation was fast, easy and trouble free. We were on board by 11:30 am and having lunch in the Buffet from around the world. Many selections for many regions/nationalities. Something for everyone. AND very good!!!!
Rooms were available as promised. Concierge class, deck 10. Champagne and fruit in the room and very clean and ready for us to spend the next 7 days.
We walked the ship to remind us where everything was. We chose late seating(as we always do) and were not disappointed. Our waiter Felix was terrific and had a great personality as well. Our somallier, Wendy went out of her way to make sure we had our favorite wine with dinner each night. Very friendly, outgoing and happy to be of service.Even when we saw her out of the dining room, she provided great service.
The ship was ALWAYS clean or being cleaned. Hand santiizer at every restaurant door. Friendly staff.
We ate at the Tuscan Grille again and was it was absolutley terrific. TRY the filet mignon if you get a chance on any Celebrity that has the Grille. You will not be disappointed.Cuts with a butter knife.
Never eating in a french restaurant, we tried the Murano. OMG!!!! The food was outstanding, cooked at your table and tasted a bit like heaven. Try the lobster, or the fancy filet mignon wrapped in pastry dough. YUMMMMMM!!!
On this ship, there is not the constant voice over telling you about the "activities". You are left to read all about it in the daily newsletter and we can honestly say, that is the way it should be. We were there to relax and relax we did. There were kids on board but we never saw them and if we did they were well-behaved. Thanks to all the Moms and Dads who kept their kids under control.
Got to tour the galley and if you have never been behind the scense, try it. What a great learning experience about the inner workings of a cruise ship.
The cirque de soliel show was good even though we had a "rocky" night with high winds. The rest of the bands/signers were good and you just had to sing along.
You need to see at least one of the Corning glass blowing shows. Out of this world!!
If you like cappuccino, then go to the Cafe el Bacio. Our favorite server was Lisa Marie. She was on the ship the last time we were on it and she is just so smiley all the time.
Ship stores are okay. Nothing to write home about. Trying to sell whatever they can.
Debarkation: Not that good but not totally Celebrity's fault. Government at work - or should I say....late for work. Customs was not open and caused everything to bottleneck. We chose early express but actually ended getting off with some of the other groups. Celebrity needed to control that situation a bit more. But all in all, we were out of the port by 8:40 and on the road home.
If you want a more mature sailing, this is your ship!!!not really geared for kids. But we can recommend going with the parent company, Royal Caribbean as they have many kid activities.
Final note: We love the Solstice class and will continue to make this our cruise line of choice.
