From the FanPosts...
Just after the Florida State game, I posted on here that we should remain optimistic. I wrote that I like our coaches, and that we should be pleased with their development. Well, after another long 3 hour drive home from that game last night, I'm rethinking. These are some general observations of the game from 16 rows up....
1. I saw frequent confusion on defense looking for signals from the sideline when TCU would break quickly and set quickly. BYU guys just weren't ready at the snap and they were getting pushed back 3-4 yards. I credit them with not giving up too many big plays, but this made it easy for TCU to methodically work down the field. Generally, I thought our defense played a pretty decent game. If the offense had put together any long scoring drives, the defense was good enough to keep us in the game.
2. Our offense, on the other hand, was impatient. We were RUNNING THE BALL ON THEM! Yet, we didn't keep it up. Harvey was chewing up 4-5 yards per carry, but we kept trying to force long passes. If we had stuck with the run to set up the pass, then we could have moved the ball on those guys. We did it repeatedly, but Anae and Hall kept looking for the long throws. I believe it was the 2nd drive of the game when we had moved into TCU territory and we faced 2nd and 2. Instead of running Harvey, we dropped Hall back to pass and he got sacked. Stick with what is working! It's like we're so proud of our passing game that we refuse to accept the fact that we just might have to beat a team with 3-5 yard runs mixed with some short passing. It blew my mind that Anae couldn't change his game plan to match what they were giving us. To me, our offensive woes were directly tied to coaching. Anae has to learn to adjust in-game to what is working.
3. Tying into #2, I'm worried that BYU is more dedicated to the principles of maintaining an offensive/defensive identity/philosophy than they are about finding and exploiting the other team's weaknesses. TCU obviously struggled with Manase and Harvey lining up in the I and running right at them. Use that to set up everything else! Use that to set up some play action that involves short passing or Max rolling out. I just don't get it when we refuse to change our identity for a game. Saying, "We're BYU, this is what we do, and we will out-execute you even though you know what's coming" just doesn't work all the time. We need to have the guts to change within a game.
4. I thought the players on BYU looked equally skilled as TCU's players (I felt the opposite with Florida St.). There is no reason we should be getting blown off the field by TCU or Utah or any other team. If we lose, fine. But getting blown off the field? We had the players and the effort yesterday, but the coaching was terrible. You could see delays in getting the defense set yesterday, and you could see that TCU had some weaknesses on defense (nothing major, but there were holes) that could be exploited by an adept coordinator. BYU has now been blown out by TCU twice, and Utah once in the past three games with those guys. There is no reason this should be happening given our talent and experience on the field. Our coordinators need to adjust.
5. If I hear one more player or one more coach say the players just need to execute better, I'm going to puke. Getting beat 38-7 on your home field isn't about players not executing game plans - at least not in this instance. From the stands, I saw guys working their butts off within their assignments, from one play to the next, and I felt like guys were doing what the play called for. However, I felt that the plays being sent in were not effective. To me, this game was about coaching. Gary Patterson and his staff out-coached BYU. Of course, there were a few plays that could have been better executed (Chambers dropping that long pass down the east sideline), but I didn't walk away from that game thinking I had just watched poor play and a lack of effort. It was clear to me, and the people sitting around me, that the coaching needs to step up. Again, I'm not expecting a win every game, but we have the athletes and the experience to be competitive every game, especially within conference.
Well, that's my two cents. I still like our coaching staff. But I believe the time has come to stop blaming execution and start looking at coaching. The coaches need to step up and at least get the team ready to compete each week. I think the Y is spending too much time worrying about how to approach the season or the game (having fun vs business-like; Quest for Perfection vs One Game at a Time). Football really comes down to one thing: is the game plan good, and are the players executing it? I felt like the players were executing the plan yesterday, but I don't think yesterday's plan was a good one. That's coaching.

Oil and gas professionals optimistic for the future of unconventional gas, according to World Petroleum Congress poll
• Delegates at the 20th World Petroleum Congress believe that unconventional gas is a long-term solution to the world's energy demands
• Poll reveals concern over efforts to encourage future generations to join the sector
• Oil and gas professionals show confidence in future energy supply
Doha, Qatar/Hamburg, Germany – Oil and gas industry professionals see unconventional gas as a long term solution to the world's energy demands, according to a poll conducted last week by GL Noble Denton, at the 20th World Petroleum Congress in Doha. 57% of participants said that the production of unconventional gas, which includes shale gas and coal bed methane, would help fuel the projected long term growth in global energy consumption, while 43% thought it would not.
Optimism over the future of global energy supply was also displayed in the poll. 86% of participants were confident that the industry will be able to meet estimates for increased global energy consumption, while 14% thought that it would not.
However, the GL Noble Denton Snapshot Poll also revealed the industry's concern over efforts to attract younger generations into the oil and gas industry, highlighting the sector's ongoing apprehension about an impending shortage of technical skills across the world. 57% of participants said that companies need to make greater efforts to demonstrate the benefits of a career in the oil and gas industry to young people, while 43% disagreed, believing that companies are now making a more conscious attempt to tackle the issue.
Pekka Paasivaara, Member of the GL Executive Board, said: "The energy industry's opinion on the future role of unconventional gas has been volatile this year, as the sector continues to debate the profitability and environmental impacts associated with its production.
"The result of this poll shows that these challenges haven't affected optimism in the belief that unconventional gas and other hydrocarbons will sustain world demand in the years to come, as long as we have the technical resources to deliver increased supply. But, it is also clear from our survey that the industry needs to review the measures it is taking to attract graduates equipped with the necessary skills to cope with the increasing challenges facing the sector."
The Industry Snapshot Poll was conducted by global independent technical advisor GL Noble Denton during the three days of the World Petroleum Congress in Doha, Qatar, which attracted more than 12,000 industry professionals from across the world. The poll was also completed online by senior professionals from across the industry.

South Burlington, Vermont - July 7, 2010
On a hot summer day South Burlington firefighters say you can find about a hundred teenagers and young adults jumping off the cliffs at Red Rocks Park.
"Huge adrenaline rush. I mean it's awesome," says Andrew Barden, who spent Wednesday afternoon jumping off the cliffs.
Jumpers can choose from three different heights; 20 feet, 40 feet, and 76 feet.
"I still haven't done the 76er. I haven't gotten there yet. I will someday but not yet," says Ryan Somers, another cliff jumper.
It was the 40-foot cliff firefighters say a 19-year-old jumped from Wednesday afternoon and got hurt. The young man told responders he landed in the water awkwardly and complained of chest pain. No details were available about his injury, but he was able to walk into the ambulance on his own.
Rescuers say it is frustrating for them to respond to calls for injured jumpers because it requires a lot of manpower and equipment.
"The city has invested a lot of money into the resources we need to be able to adequately respond to this type of incident," says Captain Matt Vinci, of the South Burlington Fire Department.
It is often a challenge for responders to locate an injured person and bring them to safety. Another frustration is the lack of regard the jumpers have for the dangers of what they are doing.
When asked if he ever worried about the danger Somers responded, "No. Never. I never worry about hitting the water. I mean, you're going to go in. It's not going to hurt."
Signs posted throughout the park clearly indicate jumping is not allowed because of the possibility of hitting rocks below the water. But neither they, nor minor injuries can stop the thrill-seekers. James Minor says he has no qualms about jumping again even though he cut his foot open during a landing Wednesday.
"Next time I'll just come more prepared and bring some flip-flops or shoes to jump with again," he says.
It means it is just a matter of time before firefighters get called to the cliffs again.

Movie News
Steve Carell Discusses DESPICABLE ME, ANCHORMAN 2 And Michael Scott's Departure From THE OFFICE With Mr. Beaks!
Steve Carell is coming for your children. As the voice of the "evil" Gru in DESPICABLE ME, the star of THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN and THE OFFICE has created a perfectly lovable supervillain for kids to laugh at and, ultimately, cheer. Gru dreams of striking fear into the heart of law-abiding citizens everywhere, but generally settles for mild annoyance on a sort of grand-ish scale. His proudest accomplishments: swiping the Times Square jumbotron, the Statue of Liberty (from Vegas) and the Eiffel Tower (ditto). It's all rather innocuous. But when a rival wrongdoer steals an Egyptian pyramid (and cleverly replaces it with an inflatable replica), Gru is suddenly inspired to heist something humans might actually miss: the moon. It's a fun world for Carell to immerse himself in - a colorful variation on the work of Charles Addams that's never too scary or mean-spirited for the little ones (it helps that Gru's villainous nature is consistently undercut by the shenanigans of his bumbling yellow minions). Should the film catch on with families, its success could propel Carell to that rarefied level of movie stardom occupied (at one time or another) by Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin and Mike Myers. When I chatted briefly with Carell a couple of Saturdays ago, he expressed a humble satisfaction with the direction of his career while noting that he doesn't want to cling to his "A-list" status. What's important to him is the quality of the material and his collaborators - which explains why he's eager to work with DATE NIGHT co-star Tina Fey again, and, fingers crossed, revisit his pals on the Channel 4 News Team. In the below interview, we discuss his involvement in developing the character of Gru, the necessity of ANCHORMAN 2, and his thoughts on how Michael Scott should exit THE OFFICE. It's a quick interview, but I was grateful for the time to talk with one of my favorite working comedic actors.
Mr. Beaks: When we talked to Chris Meledandri a few months ago, he said your voice for Gru was a combination of Bela Lugosi and Ricardo Montalban. How did you arrive at that duo?
Steve Carell: That's very, very kind of him. I think that's probably what he heard. It certainly wasn't what I had in the back of my head. (Laughs) You know, I just thought it had to be an accent that's a little bit threatening, a little bit sinister, but also kind of funny and silly. Because it's a kid's movie, you don't want it to get too dark. But you do want to have a little edge to it.
Beaks: The nice thing about Gru is that, while he's the bad guy, the kids are never once afraid of him.
Carell: Oh, that's good. We wanted him to be evil, but not really a bad guy. It's a weird sort of line to walk, too. You wonder how far you can go. When do you lose the audience? When do kids or parents pull back and say, "No, no. That's not appropriate. That's not good." I think they struck a good balance in the sense that he is creepy enough, so that when he makes his turn, you're cheering for him. You're glad that this other side is coming out.
Beaks: It's nice to have a villain as a protagonist in a kids' movie.
Carell: Yeah, it doesn't happen very often.
Beaks: One of the things that's always interesting to me about animated films is that they often assemble a dream team of voice actors, but the talent never really gets to perform together. When you see the film, do you ever find yourself wishing you could've batted the ball around with people like Julie Andrews or Russell Brand?
Carell: It's a little strange. You generally never see anybody until you start promoting it or go to the premiere - then everyone shakes hands and congratulates each other on the wonderful job. It's a little strange because you're doing it in a vacuum; you're standing in front of a microphone and imagining how a scene might play out, and you're giving them as many options as you can. But you just don't know. You're really at the mercy of the director and the editor and the staff that's going to create the animation. You're just one tiny aspect of the movie, one tiny piece, and you're just trying to give them as many options as possible to fit in with all of the other pieces.
Beaks: Was the design of the character impacted at all by what you were doing with the voice?
Carell: I'm not sure. The look of the character evolved a little bit. It was a slightly different look from when I first saw renderings. I think this is pretty typical in terms of animation. They'll do some basic mock-ups of the characters to see what the characters are going to look like - what their facial expressions will look like and how they're going to move. Early on, the character wasn't quite what they were hoping it would be. I think it was a little less accessible and might've been a little too dark. They changed it and tweaked it a bit before it became the Gru you see in the movie. They had those sketches, but I just started in on the voiceover, and I think the character and voice happened simultaneously.
Beaks: I don't know how much you can say about this, but Adam McKay recently talked about trying to put this ANCHORMAN sequel together at Paramount. He said he'd essentially gotten all of you guys to lower your quotes a little so they could make it for a reasonable budget, hoping that the studio would go for that. They did not. Is there any regret on your end? And are you holding out any hope that this might come back?
Carell: I hope so. I really do. I think of any movie that I've been involved in, this one lends itself to a follow-up. Selfishly, it was probably the most fun I've had doing anything. Those guys... that was one of the best experiences of my life. It was the kind of job where you laugh until you cry every day; you can be certain that when you show up to work for the day that, at some point, you will be in tears with laughter. So, selfishly, I would like to do it. We're all friends; I think it would just be fun. I hope they can work it out. The four of us are absolutely committed to doing it if they can work it out. Maybe some day it will come to pass.
Beaks: We can only hope. I always assumed the difficulty in getting you guys back together would be the fact that you've all become big stars. It's strange that it played out the other way.
Carell: Well, we'll see. Things can turn around in a moment. You never know. I hope at some point they work it out because... I really think it could be great. The movie did well when it came out, but it's really grown in popularity in the intervening years.
Beaks: It's one of the most quoted films. It's become like CADDYSHACK in that regard.
Carell: Man, it was fun. That was just a joy all the way through.
Beaks: Once your film career took off after ANCHORMAN and THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN, did you immediately start developing vehicles for yourself? And are you looking to maintain this "comic lead" persona?
Carell: Well, sure. If I can. It's not anything I want to cling to. If it continues to go this way, great. But I don't want to be too precious about it. I just finished a movie with Ryan Gosling and Julianne Moore, and that's sort of in a different vein. I hope to work with Tina Fey again; we're trying to develop a movie together that we'd like to do at some point. There are various irons in the fire. We'll just have to see what pops up next.
Beaks: And that new film is [CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE] directed by John Requa and Glen Ficarra.
Carell: Yes.
Beaks; They're terrific writers. I know they didn't write this film [Dan Fogelman did], but does it have that dark, cutting quality that made BAD SANTA so memorable?
Carell: I hope so. I think they definitely have that sensibility. With any moment that might be potentially sentimental, they always find a way to undercut it and not let it get too much so. They're really good. I thought they were great directors: very efficient, very supportive of actors, and fun. It was a really fun set to be on.
Beaks: Was it tightly scripted, or did they leave room for improv?
Carell: Oh, there was room to play. And surprisingly... you look at someone like Ryan Gosling, who you would not expect to be a great improviser and really funny, but he is! He has fantastic comedic instincts. I think he's going to be really great in this.
Beaks: So where do things stand with your exit from THE OFFICE? How are things going to play out for Michael Scott?
Carell: I don't know. I have to talk to the executive producers to see how the next season will play out. It's my hope that it's done in sort of a subtle way. I don't want a big sort of fanfare or finish. The aspect of the show that I like the best is when it examines the minutiae of office life and the mundane qualities of this environment. People leave jobs for all sorts of reasons, so I don't think it needs to be some overly-dramatic or overly-written event. I think it could be very simple, the way his tenure at the office ends. That's what I would prefer.
Beaks: Maybe a melancholy exit?
Carell: Perhaps. But without putting too fine a point on it. Because I think that's life: there's an ebb and flow, and things change. Just don't get too heavy handed with it. That's what I would prefer.
I can't imagine Dunder Mifflin without Michael Scott (or Michael Scott without Dunder Mifflin). Though there will surely be the temptation for a catastrophically humiliating departure, I hope they go with Carell's idea. While you're waiting on the final season of THE OFFICE, take the kids out to see DESPICABLE ME this weekend - and know that, if you opt for 3-D, you won't get LAST AIRBENDER-ed. Faithfully submitted, Mr. Beaks

Not seeing this movie though
by andrew coleman
The ads make me question which came first the script or the ad department ideas. The commercials are just filled with stupid over the top shit that kids will love but will make me yawn. Like the tic-tak guys what the fuck are those. And I have no concept of what the movie actually is like all I know is he shoots people with a freeze ray and a little girl yells "It's so fluffy!". I'd rather see Airbender, it might be horrible but at least it has a plot! When it comes to ending the office I think it should be something people might see coming like Michael getting promoted into the higher ranks of Saber. Instead of him being fired or leaving which has already happened in the series. It will also make a good point that idiots do rise through the ranks and become bosses and CEO's.

A pet peeve about the incorrect use of "Jumping the shark"
by StanGrossman
It isn't really possible to know when something has "jumped the shark" EXCEPT IN RETROSPECT. You can't say that The Office "jumped the shark" when Jim and Pam got married when that just happened last season. What if the show goes on to do great episodes afterwards (as Lost did after it was declared to have jumped the shark many times in Season 3). That's all. Don't mean to pick on you, Sheikybaby (and I assume that handle comes from the Iron Sheiks appearance on Howard Stern:))

The easiest exit from The Office
by SifoDyasJr.
would be for Michael to get a big promotion and move to another city (preferably with Holly). Then he could make guest appearances. Based on the last couple of episodes, I think they are setting up either Daryl or Kelly to be the head of the Scranton branch.

I'll watch anything Carell's in, he is hysterical. I love lamp. WTF with Anchorman2? This is completely baffling, it is by far the most quoted movie of this decade, it makes no sense at all, idiots. As for the Office, I love it still. I do agree it was a bit more uneven this season, but it always manages to crack me up anyway, I just love the whole cast ;) Kinda hope Dwight gets the manager job... and then completely fucks it up and gets undermined by everyone and gets demoted or something. Definitely don't want them to bring someone new in... unless, as Tenenbaum suggested, David Brent shows up, that would be fascinating!

Thank You Steve Carrell
by Dave I
I'm a big fan of the guy. He'll never read this, but I like his approach to film & The Office and think he is a good actor that has great charisma and I wish him the best.

As far as Michael Scott . . . I hope they have him leave to do something that makes the character happy. Maybe something in sales, or with kids, something that fits the character, just a natural moving on. Something maybe like how he quit to start his own paper company, but maybe just as a general disenchantment of being a manager of a paper company. Being a manager was never REALLY Michael's forte, I'd like to see the character end up somewhere that would be a great fit for his personality.

Also, while it might be cliche' and predictable, I hope him and Holly sort of ride off into the sunset. Make it subtle, they do not need to get married, but have them push off and set sail starting a relationship and let our imaginations fill in the blanks. And no David Brent. That just seems like a cop-out and really keeps this from staying its own show since that would be demanding U.K. Office comparisons which, considering it'd be coming on the heels of their best actor/character leaving, I doubt they want or need. Besides, we've already done that. I love the U.K. Office, but do not particularly need them to write the David Brent post-script for me, thank you very much.

-Cheers

Animation Voice Work
by filegumbo
I have always been confused about the voice work done in most animated films. Specifically, how do they get performances with all of the voice actors separated? Do the actors do multiple takes of their own lines which are stitched together later? What kinds of performances are missed by not having all of the voice actors in the same room reacting to each other (verbally, facially, etc.)? It would seem you could get a more organic sound that way.

StanGrossman has jumped the shark
by hawks5999
The previous use of "jumped the shark" by shiekybaby is actually correct according to the guy who coined the phrase and created the website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark "It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it 'Jumping the Shark.' From that moment on, the program will simply never be the same" Happy Days, in fact continued for 7 seasons after the Fonze literally jumped the shark in season 5. There were some good episodes but the series overall was less than mediocre. So it's totally possible for someone to identify a "Jumping the Shark" moment in a recent season. Beyond that, it's a personal opinion. Also not picking on you but wanted to alleviate a pet peeve for you so you could direct your pet peeves at something more deserving... Michael Bay, for instance.

Unfortunately Dinner for Schmucks was weak

This interview is one sided and non-informative.
by Professor_Monster
All it is is beaks saying "i heard you did your voice like Bella and Ricardo" Carrell "No. I didn't mean that" Beaks "What about Anchorman 2, be great if they did a sequel, huh" Carrell "Yep." Beaks "How will you leave the office?" Carrell "I don't know". Horrible. Just horrible. This is called Bit Journalism - you basically have sound bites and you put your questions where they fit.

Final season?
by Kremzeek
I thought the last post on AICN about Carell leaving the Office said they were going to keep it going without him (which I hope they don't). Did I miss something? Are they now ending it with Scott's departure? If so, I think that's definitely good news.

by MandrakeRoot
Not many actors like him have the balls to front a network TV show while still having a successful movie career. You know most actors who are in his position movie-wise would look down upon TV. Plus, despite one or two lame comedies (Evan Almighty) he's never really been in anything flat out awful.

HAPPY DAYS was on for 11 seasons, not twelve. So it went on for six more seasons after season five, not seven. Just saying, as long as we're clearing everything up here.
For me, the only thing that has "jumped the shark" is THE PHRASE "Jump[ed] The Shark." It's way too overused now.

David Wallace should replace Michael
by cookepuss
They haven't shown him as much as I'd like, but David Wallace would be a perfect replacement. Plus, he has steadily descended into his own little world of peculiarity over the years. He's far from that picture of professionalism that he was in earlier seasons. I think that his new found unemployment status proved this.

 Bringing on Andy Buckley's character again would make perfect sense. On the one hand, how the mighty have fallen. It would be a major step down for David. On the other hand, being back at work ... at ANY job ... might likely make him embrace DM and its bizarre employees as Michael did.

 To me, David's the most logical candidate. They already went the Jim route. Dwight would be funnier as their landlord/employee instead of their dark overlord/boss. Nobody's going to trust Ryan again. So, who's left there, if they're to promote from within? Nobody.

 Bring back David Wallace.

Some facts...
by Captain Hollywood
Sorry if my post doesn't have paragraphs, my iBook is dumb. Everyone here is saying how, "Not making Anchorman 2 is the dumbest decision" but from a look at the facts it's hard to see why Paramount isn't all for it.///// The original cost 26 Million. It made 86 domestically. Pretty damn impressive. (90 mil worldwide). Now a few years have passed and all the stars from it have hit the big leagues. The budget itself would be 50 million+ just for salaries alone. That's just a little less than what the original MADE. I think the time to make it has passed- and if it were to get made it would be like when Family Guy came back. Rejoice with a mixed feeling of "meh still ok but not as good". PREDICTION FOR THE OFFICE: Carrell will leave at episode 13 with Holly. Then return for the finale. Show should end this season, although I just know the actors on the show are just thinking, "I need this... I have nothing after this." Of course we all know the exceptions.

by Dr. Hfuhruhurr
What does that mean? Instead of 10 million they wanted 9? I don't have any sympathy for them because the studio doesn't want to spend a lot for a movie that will probably flop. They know they won't make money if the budget is 60 mill, and that's a conservative estimate. I'm sure Will wants 20 and McKay wants 20 and everyone else wants 10. That's 60-70 mill just for the cast and director!

Rudd is injured and Ron and Champ decide they have to eat him to survive, even though a 7-11 sign is seen off in the distance. Probably the funniest scene in all Anchorman-dom, as Champ holds a rock over Rudd's head whilst Burgundy approaches him slowly singing him lullabies.

Anyhoo, again, the movie was cute in pretty much all the right ways. Nice to see a light fun movie minus all the Pixar angst once in a while...

As someone mentioned...
by BizarroJerry
Though I don't really know for sure, there's gotta be a group of voice actors who are upset over the past 10 or 15 years of movie studios using well known actors to voice characters in animated movies, and helping to use them as a draw for people. It must have pushed lots of voice actors out of movie and having to focus mostly on TV work. This is something that occurred to me while watching some Futurama DVDs. The voice actors all seem to be a tight group. They all were quick to point out who was doing what voice and who great they were at it, etc. Just look at the cast of shows like the Simpsons and Futurama. When you can create distinct voices for several characters all on one show, you're damn talented.
I understand why movie execs do it, but considering the bland character voices that some regular actors give us, I'd say voice actors are getting screwed. I'd have to go back and blame Disney for casting Robin Williams as the genie in Aladdin. I suppose he wasn't the first -- some old Disney movies had recognizable singers and actors doing voices, but almost a whole cast of big stars -- and casting Williams made sense. But I think it set the precedent.

Michael should do the "Dead Poet's Society" ending I'm sure a cat like him would envision were he real. Have him promise to come back to visit "whenever I can...whenever I can." Then, at the very end of the episode, we flash forward six months. Michael's in the parking lot, he gets out of the car, looks at the building...decides "eh, f*** it" gets back in the car and drives away.

No Michael, no Office
by jwardlow
Sorry, but I can't see the show working without Michael. The supporting actors are great, but Michael is the focal point. If the show (must) survive, I'd like to see the same done with him as the SG-1 guys did with Richard Dean Anderson... bump Michael to upper management and ask Steve back on occasion. Otherwise, the other characters' stories should be wrapped-up as Michael moves into something he's even MORE unsuited for and inept at: maybe Mayor of Scranton! And yes, let him go out, either way, sailing away with Holly. Michael deserves to do SOMETHING right.

The writers have to throw in moments where Michael shows his soft side like when he showed up at Pam's art show. It makes the audience still care about the character even though he usually acts like a selfish ass most of the time. Love the show, but can't see how it works without this character.

17 Year Sentence Given to Former ICE Attorney for Taking Bribes
Constantine Kallas, former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attorney, and a prominent one at that, received an over 17 year federal prison sentence on Monday, March 21, for taking bribes from immigrants. He was also ordered by U.S. District Judge Terry Hatter in Los Angeles to pay $296,865 in restitution. Although 17 years is one of the longest sentences ever given in a federal bribery conviction, the federal prosecutors in the case originally sought for an over 29 year conviction in the case.
H. Dean Steward, Kallas's lawyer, a solo practitioner based in San Clemente, CA, plans to appeal the conviction of his client and the sentence. He says that he thinks that the "U.S. attorney's office … lost all perspective of fairness in the case literally years ago. And whenever you've got a 30-year recommendation from them in a white-collar, first-time, nonviolent offender, they should be embarrassed."
U.S Attorney André Birotte said the following about the case, "Mr. Kallas has received one of the longest sentences ever seen in a public corruption case. Mr. Kallas took hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes – money he obtained by exploiting his knowledge of the immigration system. The lengthy sentence reflects the seriousness of the crimes, which were wholesale violation of the public trust."
Last year, Kallas was convicted of 36 charges, including aggravated identity theft, bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, and making false statements to the U.S. Department of Labor.
According to prosecutors, approximately $425,854 was taken in bribes by Kallas from 2003 to 2008. An additional $300,000 was attempted for by Kallas in false claims made for workers compensation and tax credits.

Previously homeschooled Camie Ramsey is being shoved into the shark-infested waters of public high school, where even helium filled, penguin bespeckled arm floaties likely won't help keep her inexperienced, fifteen-year old head above water in that rip current of hormones and emotions.
Camie's worldly wisdom might be severely lacking (i.e., the closest she's come to being kissed was sitting too close to the TV whilst Jake Ryan leaned in to give Samantha that fateful 16th birthday kiss), but she does understand her only hope for survival is if she's thrown some kind of "social" life preserver before she sinks like a freaking rock. However, what will her fate be when she endeavors to flag down the only lifeguard on duty, the enormously popular and ridiculously beautiful Tristan Daniels? The most sought after and virtually most unattainable guy in school who not only makes Camie's heart flatline on a recurring basis, he's also the one guy who seemingly doesn't know she exists.
Feeling like an inept piece of chum that could ultimately be swallowed by Jaws, can Camie get Tristan to rescue her from floundering in the treacherous deep, or is she destined to be Shark Bait?
Author's Note:
While the tales themselves are fictional, some of the events and characters are very loosely based in reality and on my experiences—but don't worry, the names of the characters, most of their unfortunate fashion sense and/or questionable taste in music has been changed to protect the not-so innocent.
Due to language and some adult content, this book may not be suitable for readers under the age of 16.
The Bookish Brunette thought:
Camie Ramsey has just been dipped from the safe little fish tank and thrown into the ocean of teen hell… Okay, well… Not LITERALLY. But COME ON! With that title, you know you love it! But seriously, think NEMO in reverse- and insert PEOPLE. Again with the fish… I can't help it. Hehe.
I gotta just mention some of the title chapters in Shark Bait because they were of EPIC proportions- made of awesome.
- Insert Choice Expletive Here
- He Might Be A Man-whore
- Nippley New Girl
- I'll Need Some Gum
- I'd Like To Thank The Academy
OMG right? I'm all over catchy chapter titles!
I wasn't sure how much I'd like Shark Bait… I mean it's getting AMAZING reviews, from amazing people. It's got a SUPER freaking awesome premise- one that I can totally and completely- 100% relate too… The cover, while not the BEST I've ever seen – does say, "Dude, check me OUT! I've got a DUCKIE on me!" (and seriously, once you discover the ins and outs and the WHYS behind the cover- it totally makes sense!)
And it was completely obvious by page, ooooh like FOUR that I was completely enamored with Camie Ramsey, her family, her dire situation and with the author, Jenn Cooksey's writing style.
Camie and her family are moving from Arizona (which from the descriptions in the book, is very much like KANSAS… you know? Built on the face of the sun.) to beautiful California, where she and her sister Jillian will attend Public School for the first time in their entire lives. OMG right? Talk about a fish out of water dude! Hehe…
"I need a freaking alarm clock to wake me up because my first damned class is at (now get this…) 7:15 in the morning! I mean what are we? Chickens? Seriously, who in their right mind can even think straight that early, let alone do math?"
Freaking RIGHT?! LOVED Camie from page one to page 309. (page 309 was the end… In case you didn't know.)
Shark Bait kept me glued to the pages… (screen? I was on my kindle!), I was *gasping* out loud with indignation, laughing out loud at the snarky awesome humor and absolutely enthralled from beginning to end! I literally kept reading until I could barely hold my eyes open! Yes, it's one of those books!
On Camie's first day, she "meets" Tristan… *obligitory, respectful pause for swoon-worthy fictional boy appreciation* and then later Kate and Jeff… thus setting in motion a series of events that no one shall soon forget- INCLUDING the reader!
The character's are laughable, completely awesome, a tad devious and A TON of fun! Seriously, I haven't had this strong of an affinity toward fictional characters since… forever!!
And Jillian? Dude. Watch out for Jillian. She's MOST epic… But she should be feared. Don't say I didn't warn you!
One of my very favorite things about Camie was how REAL she was- honestly, she was super sweet, her outlook and personality was genuinely charming!!!
"kind of taken aback at the offer of what I'm going to think of as my first engagement present from him."
(totally not telling you what he gave her… But, how flipping CUTE is she right?)
Jenn Cooksey has written a smooth, sarcastic, hilarious, witty, REAL, relatable and absolutely addicting book! Shark Bait was so amazingly refreshing and I could NOT get enough!
(Shhhyea… I loved it THAT much!)
Did I mention the completely awesome soundtrack revealed throughout the book?? Jenn Cooksey talks a bit about it in her guestpost, along with the differences between a music whore and a music snob… Oh! And about how she wants to give some internal organs and such… There's also a giveaway – so go check it out!!!

CATEGORIES MoviesSay g'day to yet another hot Aussie actor: Luke Hemsworth, older brother of Chris and Liam, has just signed on for his first feature film role.
Luke will play a detective in "The Reckoning," about the search for missing teenagers who shot video footage of a murder, set to begin filming in Australia next month. He moved to Los Angeles in 2011, and is also due to shoot the World War I ensemble film "The 34th Battalion" later this year.
Based on those roles, it seems Luke is taking a bit of a different track than his brothers, leaning toward intense dramas rather than the action- and superhero-heavy repertoire of "Hunger Games" star Liam and "Thor" and "The Avengers" lead Chris. All of the Hemsworths are easy on the eyes, so it would make sense for Luke to also gravitate toward romantic leading man roles. After all, Liam got his start alongside Miley Cyrus in the Nicholas Sparks weepy "The Last Song," and fellow Aussie Mel Gibson (in his pre-anti-Semitic rant days, anyway) once lit up multiplexes as a rom-com-starring rogue.
If anything, Luke's Hollywood debut bodes well for an eventual buddy cop comedy starring all three Hemsworth brothers as fish-out-of-water types who must use their charm and good looks to crack a tough case. At least, that's what we hope will happen. America can dream.

The finish, depth, build quality seem top notch and I'm very happy I decided to go with this particular one. All the accessories that came with it are also very useful and appreciated. Not sure there is a better value than this out there.
Looks and quality!

Not a bad thing, but just make sure you know what you're getting. The faucet looks outstanding and the build quality just feels great.

News: Tony Yayo On 50 Cent's Forbidden Performance, "The Mayor & Fif Had A Convo" [Video]
Thursday, Aug 20, 2009 4:55PM
G-Unit's Tony Yayo has confirmed reports that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke with 50 Cent and as a result the rapper will not hit the stage for his Queens, New York-based "Family Day" event.
In addition to speaking on the conversation, the "Talk of New York" also said the event allegedly cost 50 roughly $500,000.
"[Mayor Bloomberg] was just saying he spoke to 50 and he agreed there's not gonna be a performance," Yayo said in an interview. "So him and Fif had a coversation about it, you know I can't get at the mayor. I don't even wanna say anything bad about him [laughs] I might get pulled over when you leave outta here. But I don't know man, 50's big. 50's bigger than life. This is the first time it's been done. Rumor is he spent over a half a million dollars on this, amusement park rides, I know he got about 30 buses for Great Adventures on [August] 29th, the kids are getting booked. So to me, it's a positive thing, it's giving back." (MTV)
Bloomberg released a statement earlier this week announcing 50's withdrawal from possibly performing.
"Our understanding after talking with 50 Cent is he has no plans to perform whatsoever. He might go, but he's not going to perform," Mayor Bloomberg said in an interview. (New York Post)
According to early reports, the event will be heavily guarded for the protection of Fif and the people attending.
The planned appearance has sparked concerns from local authorities, who have recruited an "army of cops" to shut down the area, fearing violence will break out if a shooter takes aim at Jackson. There will be "hundreds" of cops - including officers from special gang units - who will be present. Community Board 12 manager Yvonne Reddick says, "The concern is the [lack of] manpower. That's a lot of people. The park is surrounded by a residential community." (Contact Music)
Former Unit associate Bang Em Smurf recently said 50's event was a sign of his popularity declining.
"I'm bringing things back to South Jamaica Queens," Smurf said in a video. "Giving back to the hood, like I've been doing for years. It took 50 and them n*ggas six years to try to give back to the hood now. You know why? 'Cause they're going down. So now they trying to get back to the hood when they finished. So they wanna start taking the hood to motherf*cking Great Adventures...I been doing that for years. Now they giving back to the hood 'cause they finished. You see 50 don't got a [record] deal or the G-Unit don't got a deal in other words. These n*ggas going down. It's a universal law, what goes around comes around. I read a lot of books, that's universal law. The same people you sh*t on, on your way up, you gotta see them on your way back down. And I'm just waving at these n*ggas 'cause I'm on my way up...I just wanna shout-out 50 too because you the reason I'm in the situation I'm in right now. This sh*t is chess, not checkers. I learned that from you too. That one stupid move you made, you know what I'm talking about." (Hip Hop Beef)
"Family Day" will reportedly take place in Queens, New York on Sunday, August 29th.

The story at the center of Jack Ketchum's "The Lost" calls to mind true crime tales like "The River's Edge" and "Say, You Love Satan". At the center of these stories are charismatic and fractured Borderlines and Sociopaths who exhaust all the morally ambiguous and victimless avenues for eradicating their impotence and pain, and end up committing murder to affirm their fantastic notions of self. Where the film adaptation of 'The Lost' differs is that it takes a phenomenological approach to the tragic events and people at its core.
I'm not going to lie, I intended to have this post be all about how far Thora Birch has fallen since "American Beauty", and rest assured I was going to mention the "Terror Train" remake ("Train") that hasn't seen the light of day yet. But then I watched this trailer, and god dammit I kind of liked it. I know, I was just as shocked as you are.
Based on a book of the same name which is supposedly based on a true story, "Winter of Frozen Dreams" stars Keither Carradine and Thora Birch, the (voluminous) story goes like this:
"Shuttle" starts out simply enough. Mel and Jules, two 20-something girls fresh off of a late-night flight home from their Mexican vacation, get stranded at the airport looking for their lost luggage. While there they run in to Seth and Matt, a lady's man and a sweetheart respectively, both of whom were on the same plane. As the girls try to hail a bus home, Seth schemes and convinces Matt to forgo their own ride home in favor of following the girls.
Coming April 7th from Magnolia Home Entertainment, the thriller "Shuttle", starring "Madmen's" Peyton List. Here's the synopsis:
Joe's going to hate this.
... and other words for "boner".

Hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks, this episode of America's Next Top Model will air this Friday, September 14th, at 8/7c.
Watch a preview below:
Miles Ellison | September 11, 2012 6:51 PM
Acting and challenge are two words that should never be uttered in conjunction with anything associated with Tyler Perry.
D.C. Kirkwood | September 11, 2012 3:00 PM
I love and respect Tyra Banks hustle. When this show comes to and end she has just started that new show in Asia, I think it's Top Model Singapore. You know she has executive producing rights. She is about that business. Oprah needs to go ahead and put her on the OWN network. She could use Tyra's fan base.IMO.

The Caddo Parish Commission will hold a public hearing Friday on proposals to eliminate or alter term limits.
Commissioners now are limited to three consecutive four-year terms. One proposal would scrap term limits all together, another proposes raising the restriction to five consecutive four-year terms. Both are up for a final vote.
Term limits are credited in part with eliminating the occasional tumultuous meetings of the 1990s where commissioners were divided sharply along party and sometimes racial lines. Today commission meetings are relatively short and orderly. Adequate funding might also be deserve some credit. The commission has amassed a hefty nest egg in the tens of millions of dollars thanks to natural gas revenues from the Haynesville Shale.
Today's meeting will be at 3:30 p.m. at Government Plaza in downtown Shreveport. The regular meeting was delayed a day because of the July 4th observance.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email DOUGHERTY COUNTY, GA (WALB) – The nation's leader in Quail conservation is moving its headquarters to Albany.
Quail Unlimited's president made the announcement Thursday at Potter Community Center in front of QU Supporters.
Quail Unlimited is currently based in Edgefield South Carolina, and has more than 28-thousand members.
For the past 24-years, members have come to our area for their biggest fundraiser, the celebrity Quail Hunt.
Leaders say it's fitting for the headquarters to be in South Georgia.
"There is an eight acre section that is about 55 acres that's going to be used to build the national Quail Unlimited headquarters office; yes we're going to hire some staff here and the staff in Edgefield S.C. will still remain a part of Quail Unlimited," Bill Bowles, Quail Unlimited President.
Leaders say having the headquarters here could bring more national Quail Unlimited events to our area.
The Phoebe Foundation donated the land for the facility.

● Meals on wheels in Charlotte-Mecklenburg ●
TV report focuses on gasoline costs
Feb. 7, 2012
Above is a Fox Charlotte report about the impact of rising gasoline prices on Friendship Trays' volunteers. The text of the report:
Volunteer Delivery Drivers Impacted by Rising Gas Prices
By [Morgan Fogarty]
Story Updated: Feb 6, 2012
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Prep for tomorrow's meals is underway at Friendship Trays in south Charlotte. The non profit, part of Meals on Wheels, delivers up to 800 meals a day, Monday through Friday, to private homes as well as day care centers.
It relies exclusively on a network of volunteers to make those deliveries happen. When gas prices rise, Executive Director Lucy Bush Carter says volunteers may back off, but "They may not wanna tells us, 'it's because I can't afford it," she says.
Volunteers who make the decision to keep delivering food have ways of working around the climbing cost of gasoline, including carpooling. "Instead of everybody driving their own vehicle," says volunteer Katherine Metzo. She also says when it gets more expensive to fill her tank, planning is key. "So when you're coming to drive a route, you wanna plan other activities around that, that are in the same area," says Metzo.
Friendship Trays once served people only inside the 277 loop. Now, it covers all of Mecklenburg County with 95 different delivery routes.
Friendship Gardens Program Director Henry Owen says, "Friendship Trays does a really good job of clumping the routes together so they're mindful of not only volunteers' time, but also their mileage."
Bush Carter says some volunteers also step up financially, telling her, "I can pay for the gas, so give me a route that's farther out."
It's an important sacrifice for the Charlotte community and Friendship Tray clients, who look forward to the visit from the volunteer as much as they do the meal.
"They need that visit as much as they need the nourishment the food provides," says Bush Carter.
Friendship Trays needs at least 120 volunteers a day to make the program work. In addition to the gas, the time commitment is about an hour. If you'd like to help, go to http://www.friendshiptrays.org/

What exactly does "access" mean? Women have always been able to walk into any health care facility and pay for these services. There is nothing in this law that overturns bans on doctors/health care providers making these services available to pay who wanted to pay for them.
> "Forty-seven million women across the country, including 5
> million women in California, will now receive important
> preventive services without co-pay because of the new health
> care law. With these new provisions, women will no longer need
> to forgo preventive services to stay healthy, catch potentially

> prohibitive medical costs," she stated.
So .. the issue is "free" health care. Why should these millions of woman be expected to pay for their health care (no matter how small the actual costs are), when they have Anna Eshoo passing taxes on people who are not generally users of health care to now be obligated to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes to take care of "women" who don't seem to understand what their obligations to themselves, and the financial stability of the nation is?
Anna Eshoo is such an embarrassment. And the Weekly doesn't seem to understand the issues either, based on their lack of noting that this law passes massive taxes on people who are already paying heavy taxes.
While Eshoo has been in Washington, the National Debt has increased to about $15+T. All of this "free" health care will only drive this debt up, and up, and up.

Thank you Rep. Eshoo. Health insurance is increasingly difficult to find, even at outrageously high prices. Poor levels of health in the general population can only lead to a decline in our society at large. Thank you to Rep. Eshoo and others for pushing for meaningful healthcare reform.

I agree with There-is-no-such-thing-as-a-free-lunch. Obamacare will in no way shape or form reduce the cost of health care as promised.

A slight chance of rain still remains in the weather forecast for the NASCAR weekend at Pocono Raceway. It will remain mostly dry with sunshine and clouds, but each afternoon could feature pop-up showers and isolated storms.
An area of high pressure will be over the region for most of the day Saturday. Afternoon temperatures will be in the mid-70s, with a mix of sunshine and clouds. As a cold front arrives from the north, there could be a few pop-up showers or storms during the afternoon, but expect most of the day, especially for the ARCA race, to remain dry.
A cold front moves through Saturday night, but the only impact this system is expected to have will be a few isolated to scattered showers or storms overnight.
Sunday looks mostly dry. There is just the slightest of chance of an isolated afternoon shower or storm, but I don't anticipate any problems for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Sunday afternoon.
The forecast for Sunday is mostly sunny, and actually a little warmer. Afternoon temperatures will be near 80. There is just a slight chance for a pop shower or storm in the afternoon.

2016 Madden Cover to be a Husky
...and you'll never guess who it will be. To help you avoid that whole reading thing here is the answer below: "M -- Madden Peyton Hillis was ranked by ESPN as the second-best fullback in the 2008 draft with a 52 overall grade (out of 100). This year, UConn's Anthony Sherman is the No. 2-rated fullback with a 55 rating. So, without further ado, I'd like to announcer your Madden 2016 cover boy and future NFL superstar ... THIS GUY!"
