Enough with Far Cry 4′s eagles
Far Cry 4 is a superb game. It needs to be said, because it's the truth. It takes everything that was great about the previous game and amplifies it. There is, however, one small, ever-so-tiny problem. The worst part of the last game has also been magnified. I'm referring, of course, to those Far Cry more »

Patterns and the dangers of Early Access games
Linden Lab, the creators of Second Life and Blockworld, recently had an early access game out called Patterns. I use the past tense because Patterns is now a thing of the past.

The game many have been waiting and drooling over for months is finally here.

Massive Chalice's alchemists are amazing
Double Fine's Massive Chalice is a more realistic, strategic RPG. It's undoubtedly a fantasy game, but it's more rooted in reality than most. This means, sadly, that a wizard isn't going to come along and save the day. No, the closest thing one has to that is the alchemist, a class I believe is one more »

What if I offered you the chance to extend your life by 10 years? I'm talking about extra time throughout your life, starting now. This offer affords you a whopping 25 percent more time to excel at your job, bond with the people you love, indulge in your dreams, or just chill.
Is that something that might interest you? If it's not, stop reading and go to bed. You see, sweet slumber is the dead zone from which you'll reclaim that valuable time.
I'd been adding items to my to-do list at a much faster rate than I was checking them off when I heard about the Uberman sleep cycle. This extreme form of polyphasic sleeping involves 20-minute naps every 4 hours. (A monophasic sleep pattern would be your typical 8-hour block of sleep every 24 hours.) Some converts to Uberman claim that after an adjustment period, usually lasting anywhere from a week to 3 weeks, they feel no less alert than they would have if they'd been clocking 8 hours a night. (If your sluggish workout routine is dragging you down, then check out the Better Body Blueprint, which will chisel your core and trigger your testosterone in just weeks!)
Leonardo da Vinci is said to have followed a sleep pattern akin to Uberman. Maybe that's what allowed him sufficient time to design prototypical versions of the helicopter, hang glider, parachute, and submarine, and paint the Mona Lisa and Last Supper. In fact, geniuses and military leaders throughout history have been linked with polyphasic and unconventional sleeping habits—Napoleon, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, and Winston Churchill, to name a few. Who knows how different our world would be today if these men had bunked down at sunset? I wasn't looking to invade Prussia, but I thought I could at least use some extra time to renew my driver's license and figure out my taxes.
I was encouraged in this pursuit by Claudio Stampi, M.D., Ph.D., the editor of Why We Nap: Evolution, Chronobiology, and Functions of Polyphasic and Ultrashort Sleep. In the early 1980s, Dr. Stampi began researching polyphasic sleep after he noticed his fellow long-distance sailboat-racing comrades adopting a polyphasic sleep pattern with minimal impairment. Since then, the elusive Dr. Stampi has been dodging interviewers (like me) and seeking ways to reduce sleep.
I asked W. Christopher Winter, M.D., a board-certified sleep-medicine specialist and the medical director of the Sleep Medicine Center at Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia, if he considered any of this to be a good idea.
He didn't. "All kinds of things could happen to individuals who are sleep deprived," he told me. "Changes in blood pressure, heart rate, hormones, glucose metabolism, temperature regulation, and appetite can be seen quite quickly."
And to boot, Dr. Winter says, certain theories even tack death onto that laundry list of results: "The sleepless individual is probably cold [due to increased energy expenditure], so hypothermia could be an eventual cause of death. So could catabolism—that is, an increased metabolic rate and protein breakdown—and susceptibility to disease from a weakened immune system."
I kept on calling experts until I found one who would at least offer some measure of support for this plan. Sara C. Mednick, Ph.D., the author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life, stopped far short of a rubber stamp, but she did at least find an analogy that gave comfort.
"As infants we were all vociferous proponents of polyphasic sleep," she noted, "and in late adulthood we're prone to more frequent napping. It leads me to think that the only reason we don't check out for refreshing 20-minute naps in the 60 years in between is because we've learned not to."
It was a lesson I would try to unlearn.
I'm a pretty good candidate for an unconventional sleep schedule. I live alone, I have free-form work hours, and I'm in good health. I also had a ton of TV to catch up on. So I scheduled any appointments or meetings around my naps (at 2 a.m., 6 a.m., 10 a.m., 2 p.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m.). I beefed up my Netflix subscription and bought a "learn Spanish" CD-ROM, along with sheet music to Eddie Van Halen's most blistering guitar solos. In my suddenly overflowing spare time, I would become a culture-vulture Uberman in the flesh.
The first night, I crawled into bed at my usual time and left it 20 minutes later without having slept at all. So I kicked things off with a 2:30 a.m. screening of Raging Bull. The movie's final 20 minutes were accompanied by birdsong. I took a dawn stroll around the neighborhood (a first while sober) and returned to my apartment just in time for my 6 a.m. Ubernap. I dropped off quickly, though the buzz of my alarm just 20 minutes later drove murderous urges throughout my exhausted body. But relief was only a bath, a breakfast, and two Sopranos episodes away.

DENVER (AP) — The opening months of Colorado's first-in-the-nation recreational marijuana industry have seen a rise in fiery explosions and injuries as pot users try to make the drug's intoxicating oil in crude home-based laboratories.
Hash oil explosions rise with legalized marijuana
Since Jan. 1, when sales began, the state's only certified adult burn center has treated 10 people with serious injuries they suffered while making hash oil, compared with 11 in 2013 and one in 2012.
Law enforcement and fire officials, meanwhile, are grappling with how to respond, as the questionable legality of the process has made it difficult to punish amateur chemists. Some prosecutors are charging them with felonies, while others say hash oil production is protected under a provision of the new legal pot law.
"These today are the meth labs of the '90s. We have to change our thinking and what we're looking for," said police Sgt. Pat Long in Thornton, a Denver suburb where officers were puzzled by the city's first hash oil explosion in January.
Hash oil is typically made by packing the castoff leaves and stems of pot plants into a pipe and pouring highly flammable butane through it. The concoction is heated to make the potent oil for far cheaper than it can be purchased in stores.
The golden mixture can be up to 80 percent THC, marijuana's intoxicating chemical, and devotees say one or two drops can produce a more euphoric high than an entire joint. It can also be infused into baked goods or vaporized.
Without proper ventilation, butane fumes can linger. All it takes is a spark of static electricity to ignite a room.
Firefighters in the state have raced to at least 31 butane hash oil explosions this year, compared with 11 last year, according to the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, an agency that has only recently started tallying cases.
The data represents only reported and confirmed cases, and the actual number of explosions could be higher, said Kevin Wong, an intelligence analyst for the agency. "This is just the tip of the iceberg," Wong said.
The organization has started training police and firefighters on how to spot the signs of a hash oil explosion. After the Thornton blast, officers found a charred home littered with bottles of butane. They were perplexed, which highlighted the need for more training, Long said.
In recent years, there have been dozens of explosions and injuries in other states where residents can get access to the plant through medical marijuana systems, including California, Washington state and Oregon.

Company to pay nearly $50M in Calif. wildfire
California's largest timber company has agreed to pay nearly $50 million and donate 22,500 acres of land to settle a lawsuit over a 2007 wildfire that destroyed about 65,000 acres in Northern California.
Associated Press
California's largest timber company has agreed to pay nearly $50 million and donate 22,500 acres of land to settle a lawsuit over a 2007 wildfire that destroyed about 65,000 acres in Northern California.
Sierra Pacific Industries denied liability, despite agreeing to the settlement announced Tuesday. Federal prosecutors said the Moonlight Fire was caused by two unsupervised employees who operated bulldozers on a red-flag warning day with high fire danger.
U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said company contractors working on private land failed to follow fire regulations, sparking the blaze that burned for more than two weeks and consumed more than 46,000 acres of public land in Plumas and Lassen national forests northwest of Lake Tahoe.
Wagner characterized the settlement as the largest federal recovery ever for damages caused by a forest fire.
"What was lost was priceless and will not return for over a century. The recovery in this case will help start the process of making the public whole," he said in a statement.
William Warne, a timber company attorney, said federal prosecutors would not have been able to prove at a trial that the company was responsible for the fire, but a judge's pre-trial ruling led attorneys to believe Sierra Pacific might be forced to pay damages anyway.
The case is part of a broader battle over limiting the amount of damages that government agencies can recover from private companies when fire damages public land. California law allows courts to award damages up to three times the value of the trees or estimated value of the damage to public land.
Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, was unsuccessful this year in establishing a limit as part of the latest state budget. Federal officials and environmentalists opposed the legislation, which is likely to be debated again this year in the state Legislature.
"Current law is being misused in an effort to ignore the actual value of property, highlighted here by the fact that the federal government initially demanded an amount eight times the pre-fire value of the property," Mark Pawlicki, Sierra Pacific's director of corporate affairs, said in a statement.
Wagner's office claimed employee negligence led to the growth of the fire. The person who was designated to watch for fires left the work area and drove 30 minutes to get a soda, and when he returned more than an hour later, there was a 100-foot wall of smoke, he said.
In addition, there was no access to fire suppression equipment at the site, Wagner said.
He estimated firefighting costs at $22.5 million.
The settlement includes a cash payment of $47 million from Sierra Pacific, a $7 million payment from private landowners and managers of the property where the fire started, and $1 million from the logging contractor.
Wagner estimated the value of the land at $67.5 million, but Sierra Pacific challenged that number, noting the U.S. Forest Service has not yet selected the land to be donated.

This is a wonderful whisky. I bought one a few months ago and I'm already halfway through it.
The nose is very fruity, vanilla, raspberries.
The palate is a bit oily. Spices, sweetness and very nutty. Since it's 54,2% I would definately recommend adding a splash of water. You can actually add a lot of water it won't drown easily.
The finish is quite long, with orange zest and surtain smoothness.

What happens when intelligence agencies fail to keep tabs on contractors

Federal intelligence agencies have failed to keep a watchful eye on contractors working alongside their employees, upping the risk that they could influence government operations and decision making.
That was the message from the Government Accountability Office in testimony submitted to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Thursday. Limitations in the intelligence community's inventory of contract personnel hinder its ability to determine the extent to which agencies use them, the GAO said. That lack of insight into the functions performed by contractors means that they could inappropriately influence the government's control over its own decisions.
It's worth noting that the GAO didn't directly tie such lack of insight to potential breaches in security, such as Edward Snowden's accessing and leaking classified information from the National Security Agency. But it did say that failure to keep proper tabs on contractors, particularly those who work in "inherently governmental functions," prevents agencies from prioritizing contracts that may require increased management attention and oversight.
For more than 20 years, procurement policy from the Office of Management and Budget has directed agencies to provide more scrutiny when contracting for services that closely support inherently governmental functions, such as policy and regulation making, as well as control over intelligence operations.
But the GAO has found that intelligence agencies generally don't fully consider and mitigate risks. It recommended, among other things, to develop ways to identify contracts for services that could affect the government's decision-making authority so that proper oversight can take place.
This report comes nearly a year after another one from GAO, which found that 936 full-time Army contractors and 473 full-time Air Force contractors were performing duties that by law can't be done by the private sector because of security risks or potential conflicts of interests, among other things.

STAMFORD, Conn. – Stamford police were called to Westhill High School on Wednesday morning after a paraprofessional reported seeing a substitute teacher performing "inappropriate sexual behavior," a school official said
The substitute teacher, whose name has not been released by police, had worked in the district as a substitute for a number of years without any complaints, said Sharon Beadle, a spokeswoman for the Stamford School District. The substitute teacher involved was a 70-year-old man, according to the Stamford Advocate.
"I know that the school is investigating as well as the police," said Beadle.
No students were directly involved or in danger during the situation, she said. No other people were involved in the incident, she said. The witness went directly to the school principal Camille Figluizzi, who contacted police.
Beadle confirms the man was arrested but did not say on what charges.

Tuesday Night: Jenna's "Diet"
First, a question: what was with Anya's "spinach and eggwhites" comment... was that a dig at Jenna, like it seemed to be? 'Caaause... girls commenting on other girls' bodies is so lame; I was kinda surprised to see that coming out of Anya. Maybe I misinterpreted?
Anyway, Jenna got plenty of good advice tonight from Chantay, but of course she listened to Bianca instead. Here's a sneak peek of how that goes for her:

A man is behind bars in the Boone County Jail after allegedly threatening to shoot police officers.
Columbia police were called to 21 Conley Road around 3:45 p.m. Sunday for a trespassing call.
The Columbia Police Department says 53-year-old Mark Greathouse threatened to shoot the officers between the eyes and began to reach for his right side. The officers arrested him for first-degree trespassing and assault on a law enforcement officer.

Thanksgiving week already, where did the year go? Hope you don't eat too much turkey!! Be safe if you are going to brave the crowds on Black Friday!!
Well this week I went to the movie and was so upset. Yep two seats down from me was a big talker during the movies. Yes I normally try to stay away from him but alas he sat close by. Please be kind to the people around you and not talk during the movie. You may think you are not talking loud but guess what you are! There is no need to say hey that guy is dead, yes we know he were not under a rock. But thanks for pointing that out! (sarcasm)
Now on to the second thing that bugs me. I have heard a lot of people won Mockingjay part 1 tickets but by the time they went to get their tickets all the tickets were gone. So whomever is forwarding out their winning email and letting all their friends go and taking away from people who actually won isn't playing by the rules. Come on now, how would you feel to have won, then check it out and bam all the tickets were gone. I don't think you would be happy about that, now would you? So the moral of this is let's play fair and let all the people who won get their tickets!

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
The third book of The Hunger Games series based on the trilogy by Suzanne Collins has been broken down into two movies. The screenplay written by Danny Strong and Peter Craig ends the story with the expected cliff hanger to whet the appetite of all young adult book and movie fans. For newbies to the story, it's advised to have seen the previous films (you don't have to read the books unless you want to) to get sense of the world of Panem and why Katniss Everdeen is the reluctant hero of the rebellion. Directed once more by Francis Lawrence the build up is setting Katniss on the path of fighting the evil President Snow in the Capitol. But like all stories that have no ending, it just makes the viewer more frustrated having to wait until next year to see the conclusion.
Jennifer Lawrence is back as Katniss, the tribute that escaped the Third Quarter Quell and shattered the Games forever by shooting an arrow that destroys the force field of the arena. She wakes up in District 13 which has become the spearhead of the new rebellion. District 13's President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) wants Katniss to become the Mockingjay poster child. She reluctantly agrees only if the still captured tributes in the Capitol are granted immunity. Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) is being used as spokesperson for the Capitol to manipulate Katniss into not joining the rebels. Angry and confused Katniss is distrustful of Coin and Pultarch Heavensbee (Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who finished his filming for Part 1 before his death) who want her to film these propaganda clips to inspire revolt. Her old boyfriend Gale (Liam Hemsworth) takes her to her old District 12 which was destroyed after she escaped. Later when Katniss and the film crew (led by Natalie Dormer as Cressida) visit District 8. The injured at the hospital give her the Mockingjay salute and she realizes that she may be part of that hope.
The movie crawls slowly as Katniss angsts over her role in the plan, although she knows that the government should be overturned. She is also worried sick over Peeta's messages and wants District 13 to rescue the captured tributes including Finnick's girlfriend Annie, and Johanna (Jenna Malone). Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) now forced reluctantly into District 13's overalls lightens the movie's dark tones as Katniss's stylist and manager. Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy who is now sober is back offering sound advise and a shoulder to cry one. President Snow (Donald Sutherland) who has an affinity for white roses (the reason is given towards the climax of the movie) remains the boogie man who is one step ahead of the rebels taunting and killing along the way.
Jennifer Lawrence is still the next big thing on screen. As Katniss they bring her long hair tumbling around her face to give her a more vulnerable and fragile look. Then more fierce in her designer rebel outfit created for her propaganda clips. Her best accessory are the exploding arrow heads. Sutherland eats up the screen as the smarmy President Snow and his creepy white roses. And Hutcherson who must of lost a ton of weight as the tortured Peeta who wins Katniss's heart from the stoic Gale.
This movie will make money no matter what. If you are fan of the movie and there are ton of them out there, it's a nice addition, but still seems stretched out and lacking. Lacking an ending.

Wow, how scary is it really? Are we just cattle moving in a heard and blind by our entertainment and funny videos? "Citizenfour" drags us right into the sea of Edward Snowden's serious delivery of possibly the US's most famous piece of classified information. This film is about the NSA super hack into the privacy of millions upon millions of unaware Americans as well as some countries. It follows the name read on multiple TV screens at the time of the release of this information, Edward Snowden.
Now being a citizen I used to think as probably a lot of people did that this was just another guy in big trouble with the US. I had no idea of what Mr. Snowden went through or was trying to do with what information he had. This film revealed the intimate room where the release of this humungous story took place. Edward Snowden is lying on a couch spewing out in layman's terms the software the NSA had to gather millions of records from telecom companies. He was filmed by documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras who was taking a significant risk by just being there. The events around that time take place one after the other. The White House says that they want Snowden back for a "proper hearing' and that they were going to do something about the NSA a while ago. A man who worked for the NSA for decades reveals what he was told to do while there and that he was threatened by authorities to stay silent. Meetings are held by countries and Europe to address this imminent problem. This was and still is a magnificent problem that yelled to American citizens that what they did or said was on a screen accessible within the click of a button. Privacy was thrown out the window and life was monitored by a governmental agency. The man who interviews Snowden is Glen Greenwald, a journalist living in Rio de Janeiro. The man questions the safety of all of them and what information Snowden has. There are constant looks out the window for spies from the hotel room where the camera starts rolling. If the public isbelieving in a democracy that is strong, I think this film proves an opposite point. We are told by this piece to point attention towards majorly important issues that will shape our lives in the future and now. The public citizen is told to stand up for injustice in the most hammering way possible.

Okay so last week I went to the movies and have not done so in a long time. A couple of things really bothered me. First of all they moved us, sure we have been moved before but before people were nice enough to keep their place in line. Sure I was the third person in line but when they moved us someone tried to get in my spot in line and trust me I wasn't having that at all! Now then second thing that bugged me was someone got his popcorn and drink. Sure you can do that but get back in line and don't stay at the front of the line so you can just blend in when they let start to let us in. Yes I said excuse me when you tried to get in front of me, not going to happen!
Now before all the "asking" of passes for Mockingjay Part 1, most of the sites didn't get many passes so I doubt that people would give up their passes unless something came up and couldn't go. Yes even I have entered all of the contests for this one. So good luck to us all!

Rosewater is the directorial debut of political comedian, Jon Stewart, of The Daily Show. And it is a solid, moderately impressive first effort. The film is the retelling of the arrest and imprisonment of Maziar Bahari in Iran during the political elections. Bahari is a journalist who was born and raised in Iran. In the year 2009, he returned to cover the presidential election at a time when Iran was trying to make a change and there were charges of election fraud. Protests followed the election, mostly put on by the young, educated and informed (via forbidden satellite dishes which brought in all manner of information to those hungry for it.....and for political reform. They occurred as a challenge to the results that kept President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in office. Soon after, Bahari filmed news video of rioting protesters being shot by police and released it to the world..His arrest came as a result. It did not help him that his father had been imprisoned as a communist under The Shah and his sister had also spent six years in prison before her early death.
The film was made in Jordan and stars Gael García Bernal as Newsweek journalist Bahari. Iranian actresses Golshifteh Farahani and Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog) star as Maziar's sister and mother. Soon after his mother's apartment is invaded and Bahari's room is searched for "pornography" and illegal videos, he is taken, imprisoned in solitary confinement, and tortured. One would have expected a full blown expose on the horrific conditions in an Iranian prison for "spies", but most of the torture in this film is extremely psychological. The verbal delivery of words, the removal and application of a blindfold (which he wore most of the time) and the touch of a hand on a shoulder or head are conducted in ways that make one's skin crawl with the desperation a 118 day imprisonment must have felt like. A scene where Bahari is outside, feel for and reaches with his hand the area of the wall where the sun shines is quite powerful. He cannot see it, being blind folded, and only can access it by feeling for its warmth as its light moves higher up on the prison wall.
Ironically, is was a satirical piece starring Bahari, in real life on the Daily Show that led the prison officers to feel they had "proof" that Bahari was indeed a spy. Middle Eastern Rosewater manufacturing was shown in the very beginning of the film, but what is not intially realized by the viewer is that one of the interrogators or "specialists" (played by Kim Bodnia) always smelled of Rosewater. The sensory deprived Bahari would always smell it during a "Specialist session". As time wears on, Bahari must find ways to stay optimistic and hopeful, and know that others on the outside had not forgotten him. He transforms his experience into a sort of coming out before he is released. Bahari brought a certain level of comedy into the mix, and exerted what freedoms he still had and expressed himself in ways that he still could. To see his emerging self empowerment on the screen is one aspect that helps to keep the viewer engaged and interested. That in the face of possibly losing his life, these things could sustain him in solitary is a real life testament to Bahari's fortitude. Bahari's wife ended up leading an international campaign to have her husband freed, and media outlets in the west keept the story perinent. Stewart makes use of some visual image film techniques that really add to the enjoyment of the film. Bahari eventually told his story through a New York Timesbest selling book. "Then They Came for Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival." The film Rosewater is a finely put together and powerful drama that reminds us of the power that the human mind can have over its circumstances.

Theory of Everything
Pop culture icon and scientific genius Stephen Hawking best known for his book A Brief History of Time has always been seen trapped in his ALS tortured body speaking from a computer interface. People don't necessarily think about Hawking before having active life before he became disabled. His ex-wife's memoir Travelling to Infinity:My Life with Stephen is the basis of the new movie directed by James March (Project Nim and Man on a Wire) with a screenplay by Anthony McCarten. The story covers his time at the University in Cambridge, England during the 1960's, the romance, his sickness, and his ultimate fame. Eddie Redmayne's performance as Hawking is already garnering accolades with suggestions for the awards season.
Hawking (Redmayne) was a brilliant PHD candidate, but he had not settled on the choice of his discipline until he hears a seminar from mathematician Roger Penrose who inspires his exploration of gravitational singularity theorems. While his resulting PHD theory is considered brilliant, the movie is mostly about the relationship he has with Jane (Felicity Jones), a French and Spanish Major. There's an immediate attraction between Hawking and Jane despite their disagreements on religion. After he is diagnosed and only given two more years to live he struggles with depression. But Jane steadfastly keeps him going and decides to marry him. They are romantically happy, having babies, and Hawking continues with his work which over the years brings him much acclaim.
ALS may damage his body, but his brain remains active and engaged. Jane has put off her own field of study to care for the increasing demands on her husband's care and that of her children. But she battles on, until her mother suggests joining the choir at the church. It gives her time away from the stress at home and also introduces her to the handsome choir director Jonathan Hellyer Jones (Charlie Cox). Hawking realizes that his wife needs help and they agree to have Jonathan become part of their family. Although Hawking and Jane's parents can see the writing on the wall, the introduction of the new nurse Elaine (Maxine Peake), and the demand for Hawking's lecture tours, the long suffering couple inevitably decide to part.
The passage of time is told through the changes in fashion, the costume design is really highlighted in this movie going from the 1960's until the 1990's. As well as Hawking's gradual physical deterioration from stumbling, to having to use a wheelchair, to losing the ability to communicate. Redmayne's portrayal of Hawking through these stages will draw comparison's to Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot. The slurred speech patterns and physical contortions he had to endure brings the Stephen Hawking to life. Felicity Jones, while not as showy as Remayne, gives a strong performance as the ever suffering wife who stands by her man. Wish there was more science involved, but this is basically a love story and a story of human endurance of a brilliant mind.

Beyond the Lights
Director/writer Gina Prince-Bythewood who also did The Secret Life of Bees and Love & Basketball is back with another satisfying story which premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The story about the relationship of a young singer, her manager mother and an unlikely lover, also exposes the objectification of women in the music industry. While talent will help one get to the top, it's more of how much you are willing to sell as dictated by the men in charge of the record labels who promote the artist as a product.
Noni (Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who was brilliant in Belle) plays a Brixton English young woman who once sang a Nina Simone song as a kid for a local talent contest. Her mother Macy Jean (Minnie Driver) makes her give up her 1rst place trophy that she won because it wasn't good enough. Now grown up Noni is promoting her single she did with rap star Kid Culprit (Richard Colson Baker) at the Billboard Awards show. In the music video she is dressed in barely there costumes, singing suggestible lyrics, and tasteless tramp dancing. She is being pimped to become the next big thing. Noni has a moment of crisis after the performance and when she returns to her police guarded hotel room, her mother and Kaz (Nate Parker) the guard find her sitting at the edge of the balcony in a state of distress. Using his police skills, Kaz tries to talk her from the edge, and ends up saving her life when she makes a leap. Her suicide attempt is hushed up by her record label who wants to delay her record release until the scandal has blown over. Her mother insists that everything is OK, that Noni was just a little drunk and had an accident. They try to pay off Kaz to make sure that he doesn't tell the truth. Tabloids try to buy the truth from Kaz as their exclusive.
Kaz's father Captain Nicol (Danny Glover) advises his son to keep up the charade. Kaz is being touted the hero and they want to use this moment in the spotlight to promote Kaz's introduction into politics. But Kaz is a decent thoughtful young man, and the lie is hard for him to justify. He's worried that Noni is not getting the help she needs. So he talks to her again and thus begins their attraction to each other. Is Noni being nice to him to keep his mouth shut? Is Kaz using her to boost his career goals? Macy and Captain Nicol think their budding relationship is not good for either of them. Noni's image would not sit well for and up and coming councilman.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw is beautiful and vulnerable as the singer who has lost her way by doing everything for everyone and nothing for her self. Kaz is frustrated by her celebrity lifestyle especially when he's able to see the talented and sensitive young woman underneath the weaves and makeup. The movie follows Noni's journey to discover and accept her real self. Kaz is also being manipulated by others to fit a certain image of politics. While it's a touching love story about two improbable love birds, it's also a commentary on the sexualization of women in music and the struggle to win artistic independence.

not wanting to publicly
Posted by: gnarlydog on Jan-07-13 5:16 PM (EST)
not wanting to publicly discredit Falcon sails I wanted to leave it at "allegedly".
Disclaimer: I am sponsored by Flat Earth and I have been informed how the "design development" of Falcon sails occurred.
As for Flat Earth availability: I believe there is a USA distributor.
Now, what is your involvement with Falcon sails to be so keenly defending them?
Just a happy customer?

Japan's inflation slows, highlighting difficulties in vanquishing deflation, other data mixed
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's inflation rate fell to a six-month low, highlighting the difficulty Prime Minister Shinzo Abe faces in his campaign to overcome deflation in the world's third-largest economy.
The core consumer price index, excluding fresh foods, rose 2.9 percent in October from a year earlier, according to data released Friday. Excluding the impact of a 3 percentage point sales tax hike in April, it rose 0.9 percent.
The tax hike broadsided the recovery as consumers and companies reined in spending after splashing out early in the year. Retail spending and household incomes also fell in October from a year earlier.
Other data for October were mixed. Industrial output edged up from the month before but fell 1 percent from a year earlier. The unemployment rate eased slightly.

- MannKind announces a newly formed licensing arrangement with Sanofi early Monday.
- On this note, I reiterate my bull thesis on MannKind, given that it has successfully acquired an international partner to market Afrezza.
- I anticipated a partnership would take place shortly after approval. The news release corroborates this position.
Back in June, I took a lot of heat from long investors for writing a bull article on MannKind (NASDAQ:MNKD) with a thesis stating that FDA approval of Afrezza was already priced into the stock. At the time of release, MannKind shares traded around $10.30. After approval was announced, shares only climbed 10%, followed by a sharp drop to the low $8s. Thus, the options strategies I initially constructed proved superior to the standard buy-and-hold strategy. What I proposed -- the upward cap at $15/share and a downward cap at $7/share -- was a prudent way to approach an unpredictable event, which was evidently over-hyped, as indicated by the tremendous increase in share price over the several months leading up to it. However, today is a new day: MannKind has broke the news that it has managed to license Afrezza to Sanofi (NYSE:SNY), an agreement that could send shares higher on anticipation of commercial launch in the US in Q1 2015. After all, shares are trading up 20% on the news. As a result, I reiterate my bull thesis on MannKind, given the value of the licensing deal, along with the great market opportunity that now lies ahead for both firms.
But first, here are some of the highlights of the licensing agreement between MannKind and Sanofi:
Afrezza's US launch is scheduled for Q1 2015.
MannKind receives $150 million upfront, as well as the opportunity to unlock up to $775 million in milestone payments.
Both firms agree to share profits and losses internationally, with Sanofi retaining 65 percent and MannKind retaining 35 percent.
- Sanofi will advance collaboration expenses of up to a limit of $175 million to MannKind.
So, the million-dollar question is whether or not a giant leap for MannKind is made possible through this licensing deal. With backing from Sanofi, MannKind now has the means to penetrate an ever-growing market in diabetes. As it stands, it's estimated that the global insulin market is $32 billion, leading me to believe there is no question that MannKind has a significant market opportunity. And with commercial expenses largely being fronted by Sanofi, MannKind has the much needed leeway to develop its other pipeline assets. However, being the conservative investor that I am, I think it's prudent to reiterate that FDA approval and a lucrative partnership doesn't always translate to success. Granted, shareholders could benefit enormously, since Afrezza now has a clear path to market -- with the guidance and financial backing from a proven winner in Sanofi -- but it's important, nonetheless, to be aware of the potential obstacles that lay ahead. In particular, both firms must raise awareness of Afrezza among patients and doctors, optimize sales efforts and meet sales expectations. Needless to say, proper execution is key, but with much needed support from Sanofi, I'm confident in how MannKind is situated, and thus, I reaffirm my bull thesis in anticipation of the US launch of Afrezza expected in Q1 2015.

The varsity match of 1870 will always go down as one of the classic games in English cricket
Martin Williamson
October 2, 2004
Until the first Test on English soil in 1880, the highlights of the summer were the two Gentlemen v Players games and the Varsity match. The County Championship as we would recognise it now was not instigated until 1890. When Oxford and Cambridge met at Lord's in June 1870, the level of interest was considerable.
The game itself threw up some excellent performances. William Yardley scored the first hundred in the 36th match between the two universities, rescuing Cambridge's second innings when they led by only 12 with five wickets left. Charles Francis took 5 for 59 and 7 for 102 in a losing cause, while Edward Ward ripped through Oxford's top order in their second innings, taking 6 for 29. But the name forever associated with Cambridge's remarkable victory is Frank Cobden.
On the first day Cobden, bowling at 6.45pm in poor light, took Oxford's last three wickets for next to nothing, and play ended with honours roughly even. Cambridge, bowled out for 147, conceded a lead of 28 by the close. Cobden was a brisk rather than fast roundarm bowler who was thought to be at his best while a schoolboy at Harrow, but in what Wisden said was "bad light" he was more than a match for the tailenders.
Despite this, Bernard Pauncefote, Oxford's captain, agreed that play could be extended until 7.30pm on the second day if a result was possible. His decision was reported with a mixture of criticism and amazement, and in the event proved his side's undoing as again their tail was exposed in gloomy conditions.
On the second day, rescued by Yardley's 100, Cambridge were bowled out in front of 10,000 spectators for 206. Yardley put on 116 for the sixth wicket with John Dale (67) before Dale was brilliantly caught one-handed at long leg by Cuthbert Ottaway. Dale later blotted his copybook somewhat when he dropped Edmund Tylecote at a crucial stage of Oxford's second innings. "Sorry, Walter," he said to Money, his captain, "I was watching a lady get out of a drag."
Set 179 in a little over three hours, Oxford lost a wicket without a run on the board, but thereafter made steady progress, and at 153 for 4 needed just 26 more runs with six wickets in hand.
Oxford's wobble began in earnest when Ottaway's three-hour 69 was ended by a brilliant catch at short leg by Fredrick Fryer off Ward. The ball was held so low down that Ottaway unsuccessfully appealed to the umpire that it had touched the ground. That dismissal encouraged Money to bring Cobden back into the attack at the Nursery End. One of Cobden's team-mates later recalled: "He would never have got Ottaway out if he had bowled a thousand balls at him."
Hill drove the first ball on the off side and took a single, "a decision I regretted for the rest of my life," he said later. Few doubted that Hill could have coped with Cobden, but Oxford's tail, perhaps affected by the events of 24 hours earlier, were less stubborn.
Samuel Butler drove the second ball of the over - a half-volley - hard, but was superbly caught by Alfred Bourne. Contemporary accounts, which offer various versions of the match's conclusion, have Bourne fielding anywhere from mid-on to cover point ... but what they all agree on is that it was an excellent catch.
Next up was Thomas Belcher, a fast bowler who had taken six wickets in the match. Cobden bowled him a straight full-length delivery which clattered into the stumps. Thirty years later, Belcher claimed that he was bowled off his right leg. Whatever the reality, Oxford were nine down with three needed to win.
William Stewart, Oxford's wicketkeeper and a poor batsman, was the last man in. His career average of 3.83 tells all there is to know about his skill with the bat. Francis MacKinnon, who later jokingly boasted that he had played the winning knock with his 2 in the second innings, recalled Stewart's slow trudge to the middle. "He passed close to me in the field and was as white as a ghost. His captain had given him a little brandy and told him on no account to lift his bat from the blockhole."
But Stewart did lift his bat, Cobden removed his middle stump, and Cambridge had won by two runs. The crowd poured onto the field, "waving hats, sunshades, handkerchiefs, fans, and sticks," according to Wisden and Cobden was carried round the ground on the shoulders of the jubilant spectators.
"By superior bowling and infinitely superior fielding, Oxford reached a position where they could not lose; and they lost," the History of the OUCC put it. And the book added, recalling Pauncefote's agreement to extend play, "They gave the game away by an incredibly stupid decision."
Of the players in that match, only two, MacKinnon and Edmund Tylecote, played Test cricket. MacKinnon's only England appearance was at Melbourne in 1878-79, and when he died in 1947 he was 98 years and 324 days old, and is still the longest-lived Test player.
One other, Ottaway, had a remarkable sporting career before dying aged only 27. He was the first man to captain England at football in 1872, and appeared in three FA Cup finals (1874, 1875 and 1876), winning the first one as part of the Old Etonian side in 1874. His cricket was limited, but he scored two hundreds for Middlesex in 1876, including one in his final first-class match. He also won Blues in athletics, rackets, real tennis and football.
Others went on to play county cricket, but not Cobden. He played two more summers for Cambridge, and that was the extent of his first-class career. He carried on playing club cricket, but was forever dogged by people asking about that over.

Derrek Lee turns down Yankees, will stay retired
Mar 14, 2013, 8:35 PM EST
In the wake of Mark Teixeira's right wrist injury, the Yankees contacted Derrek Lee to see if he would be interested in coming out of retirement to fill in at first base. However, they are going to have to go back to the drawing board.
Lee is just the latest retired player to turn down the Yankees, joining former Braves third baseman Chipper Jones. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman confirmed to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that he also reached out to Scott Rolen, but he got the impression that he will not play this season.
Assuming the Yankees stick to internal options, they could go with Dan Johnson, Juan Rivera or Kevin Youkilis at first base. If Youkilis plays first, Jayson Nix, Eduardo Nunez and Ronnier Mustelier are among the possibilities to fill in at third.

Dubai course may see a world record anytime
Slight changes to course from last year as organisers expect new mark
- Image Credit: Virendra Saklani/Gulf News
- Andy Ross and Ian Lee
Andy Ross and Ian Lee are two of the key backroom boys behind the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon. They have been working hard to ensure that marathon runners can race comfortably without the slightest of obstruction and focus on good timings.
Ross, the traffic management co-ordinator of the course, has worked as a consultant for nearly 70 running events in UK with Lee as his assistant.
Speaking to Gulf News, Ross said: "The Dubai marathon course is very good one. It is probably the best course we've had in the last 10 years. It is unique and extremely fast but challenging as well in terms of the turns.
"It also provides a mental challenge because runners can clearly see the distance they have to run as it is a long straight course."
Expecting a new mark from the course, Ross said: "The course has the potential to deliver a new world record. It has come close in three occasions in the past. I expect at some point in future, Dubai will hold the world marathon record."
Answering to a query from Gulf News on whether there are any changes to the course from last year, Peter Connerton, the event director said: "The course is almost the same as last year. There is a slight 48-metre difference at the start from last year. There is turning point at Dubai Ports, which has been taken back. Then there is also a slight change when you go round the corner just after the Novotel Hotel."|
Connerton is expecting the marathon to create new marks like last year. "Last year was a fantastic year for our marathon. Lots of records were broken. For the first time in the history of our marathon, men ran under 2:05 and first time three women were running under 2:19.
"For us, it is not about chasing world record but pushing the limits and try and get more and more athletes running faster times here. This is what our marathon is all about."
The official also revealed that since 2008, the Dubai Marathon stopped giving appearance money to top runners, but the turnout for the event has increased tremendously.
"We now entice athletes to come and run here for the right reason and not for the appearance money. We decided we will have no appearance money and all the money have been put into our prize money. The impact of this change, which we brought about in 2008, has resulted in the registration numbers being doubled and interest for the event increasing dramatically."

Cruise into scenes in which the small humanoid youths of the country shout about beauty and beg for money.
The "it's your globe's world" theme song is one of the most well known on earth. It's famous lyrics begin:
it's a world of diversity, a world or Sears,
its a world of hopes, its a world of rears,
