Intents Lost in Ghostly Music, Imagery of 'You And The Night'
Directed by: Yann Gonzales; Runtime: 98 minutes
Grade: C-
Surreal cinema and sexual psychology have frequently gone hand and hand over the years, challenging the way people perceive other's desires and composure within an intentionally conceptual setting. From Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses to Pedro Almodovar's Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! and Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, filmmakers have lyrically explored those carnal themes while spurring the senses with inventive usage of photography or music, guiding their demeanor. Learning that synthpop band M83 provided their musical energy to a piece of explicit, abstract cinema about an anonymous orgy-party might bolster some expectations for You And The Night (Les Rencontres d'apres minuit), the feature-length debut from short-film director (and brother to the band's lead singer) Yann Gonzales. Alas, ethereal music and dazzlingly orchestrated cinematography are among the rare lucid and cohesive attributes of Gonzales' film, which ends up as a peculiar and superficial stream of vague monologues about life and sex from a huddle of inadequately fleshed-out oddballs.
Ali (Kate Moran) and Matthias (Niels Schneider), along with their gender-bending "maid", Udo (Nicolas Maury ), are hosting a midnight soiree. Not just any kind of soiree, though: anonymous individuals taking on descriptive titles -- The Slut (Fabienne Babe), The Stud (Eric Cantona), The Teen (Alain Fabien Delon), The Star (Fabienne Babe) -- are scheduled to arrive at their ultra-modern home for an evening of lascivious, fetish-friendly antics with few, if any, boundaries. The gathering seems to be a philosophical exercise for Ali and Matthias too, though, where anonymity allots each of them the freedom to vocalize who they are, what they're like, and what they want. Sometimes individually, sometimes in pairs, the guests gradually arrive and introduce themselves, until the seven of them start to interact with one another as a group. Instead of diving right into a night of sex an debauchery, the participants offer bits about their history, sometimes with erotic activity going on in the background and sometimes in stunned, emotional silence. The film's mystery becomes how, and if, these distinctive people will find chemistry with one another.
You And The Night focuses too directly on the drawn-out proclamations of who these people are, though, forming into spotlighted moments on themselves that are both momentous and void of much clarity. Instead of a pool of authentic characters and their developing attraction, these speeches clash into a series of abstractions and archetypes that neglect to associate with one another. Individualism, a sense of self-focus above a search for human interaction, speaks louder and louder with each person that trumpets their arrival to the orgy; granted, that might be a facet of their role-playing, but the points Yann Gonzales might make about personal boundary-breaking are muddled by egotism and elusiveness from the truth. Thus, the film keeps observations at a distance from appreciating each character's gradient of idiosyncrasies, with the exception of the man whose artistic side was overcome by his enthrallment with the size of his genitals, an intriguing quasi-Freudian exploration of manhood and creativity. Bizarre as it sounds, it's possibly the film's most cogent element.
What's frustrating about You And The Night lies in the purpose and design of the gathering itself, which would undeniably prefer to highlight a purpose beyond hedonistic satisfaction. Writer/director Gonzales is hell-bent on keeping most of Ali and Matthias' agendas a highbrow secret, offering little in the way of transparency about how any why these specific guests were selected, relying on auteurist interpretation in the vein of Luis Bunuel or Louis Malle to resolve those questions. It could be as simple as the desire for variety in partners, or as whimsically complex as selecting what's perceived to be a new eternal companion. Any figurative intentions are obscured by the film's deliberate ambiguity and encouraged dishonesty, though. Gonzales concocts these personas that invite deeper inspection and introspection, yet hinders one's ability to reach further into them by planting the seed of doubt that any of it is authentic, and it's quite frustrating.
Why? Because You And The Night displays this incredibly alluring imagery and sonic attitude that'll still make someone want to lose themselves in Gonzales' rich artistic tangle of flesh ... and really wish that the substance were better articulated. On the expectations created by their work on the Tom Cruise blockbuster Oblivion, M83's score is predictably breathtaking, strengthening the otherworldly nature of the numerous flashbacks and visions while forcefully elevating the party's intermittently pompous mood. Vivid surreal imagery traipses through motorcycle rides, psycho-sexual prisons, and graveyards, creating an uncanny dreamscape outside the walls of the brooding party through Simon Beaufils' cinematography. There's a flow to the provocative aesthetic beauty in You And The Night, yet it's squandered between and within haphazard surrealist kinks and a flimsy perspective on what the party's hosts wish to accomplish with their lusty guests, ending on a mismatched note in more ways than one.

Hoffman a Weathered Stunner in Corbijn's 'Most Wanted Man'
Directed by: Aonton Corbijn; Runtime: 123 minutes
Grade: B-
Critiquing the final original project of a successful actor, especially one as well-regarded and prolific as the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, presents its challenges: the urge might be there to elevate the entire film in response to his performance, or to simply give it a pass in order to relish the remaining fresh content of their career. While the remaining Hunger Games films will feature him in his recurring role for two more bouts in the arena, A Most Wanted Man ends up being his last substantial, outside-the-box appearance, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better showcase for his talent than the methodical atmosphere created by Anton Corbijn. Through a morally-ambiguous deconstruction of suspecting individuals of terrorist ties and activities in metropolitan Germany, Corbijn allows a stream of subtle and pertinent tension to surface amid sleuthing, dot-connecting, and surveillance, driven by a weathered intelligence director who's become entirely proficient at navigating the gray shadows of espionage.
Adapted from John Le Carre's novel by Edge of Darkness scribe Andrew Blovell, A Most Wanted Man slips into the cluttered maze of Hamburg, just as a covert intelligence group spots a suspicious face in CCTV footage. With confirmed ties to known terrorist activity, the half-Russian immigrant -- a victim of aggressive torture -- becomes the subject of Gunther Bachmann's small crew of investigators and plants, following him through the city as he seeks asylum and a means of collecting his family's extensive fortune. Bachmann struggles to cooperate with several domestic and international branches of government who've taken an active interest in his target, Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin), as well as the refugee's newly-recruited immigration lawyer, Annabel Richter (Rachel McAdams). As Karpov inches closer to claiming his birthright, tension mounts over his intention with the funds, as well as whether Bachmann's sleuthing will give the suspect so much rope in baiting potential allies that it might end up being too late.
Those who've seen Anton Corbijn's The American should have an idea of how meticulous, low-impact tension drives the espionage in A Most Wanted Man, though he taps into more verve and momentum as this one maneuvers through the streets of Hamburg. The mystery tends to take hasty jumps through the investigation and the strained political relationships surrounding Gunther, though, relying on willfully vague plotting around Karpov that both expands the story's intrigue and keeps those watching at arm's length. Corbijn hopes to counterbalance the abstraction with hefty, absorbing gray-area themes involving money switching hands, the flawed science of suspicion and intel, and empathizing with those who easily appear capable of monumental charges. Labored plotting and conversations that string everything together prevent it from being entirely successful, rendering stale moments of chatty exposition and an ineffectual romantic angle involving the suspect, but the timely thematic weight that expands within each scene speaks louder.
The potency of A Most Wanted Man relies on capturing the authentic responses of those caught in Hamburg's terrorism web -- Gunther's task force, their targets, and the government branches wanting to both help and regulate their affairs -- and showcasing the impact of so many formidable components brushing against one another. At the center stands Gunther Bachmann, and Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a different form of game-maker in his orchestration of the real-world spy/surveillance tactics in gathering intel on Karpov. Hoffman's scruffy, weathered aura plays incredibly well into Bachmann's worn-down disposition after years of thankless work, thrusting a gravelly yet nuanced accent through his heavy-breathed dedication to fighting terrorism by any means necessary. He displays a great rapport with his comrades, allowing the character's subtle charms to emerge around his closest assistant, Erna Frey (Nina Hoss), and his effective intimidation to persuade local high-profile banker Tommy Brue (a capably European-acting Willem Dafoe) to cooperate with his cause. Robin Wright delivers a subdued spin on Claire Underwood as an American security diplomat, generating disparate energy against Bachmann's ardent agenda.
A Most Wanted Man settles into its rhythm quite similar to the way Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, another adaptation of one of John Le Carre's novels, does: a reserved flow of suspense moves between elegantly-photographed boardrooms and unglamorous points of scheming and surveillance in Hamburg, mostly free of bombastic chases or shootouts. Director Corbijn adds subtle devices that elevate the electricity in the atmosphere, such as the stressed echo of Bachmann's inhales and exhales while observing a mark, as well as sending Bachmann through mundane locations with visual interest -- angular office floors with pale lighting and bank offices with intricate wood grain walls -- that keep the eyes engaged. The plot itself, however, struggles to hold interest as a dramatic thriller, meandering whenever the focus falls on Issa Karpov's character and his evolving relationship with Annabel, as Rachel McAdams feels out of her depth as an illegal immigrant lawyer. At two hours, even with more opportunities for momentum, the pacing slumps.
The final rush of scenes in A Most Wanted Man rewards having patience in Corbijn's deliberate style, opening the door wide for Philip Seymour Hoffman's robustness to shine. Rarely will one find more intensity captured on the big-screen that hinged on the mere signing of a document , a collision of the themes and concerns introduced by Issa Karpov's arrival in Hamburg that funnels into a bleak resolution to the buzz he creates. More than that, the sequences push Hoffman's character into an explosive dramatic situation that proves to be both a challenging zenith for Gunther Bachmann's efforts and a brilliant exercise for the actor. A Most Wanted Man is all about moving pieces that continue to move despite the victories and failures that get individuals' hands dirty in the pursuit of safety, culminating into a potent, significant environment for Hoffman's indelible presence to be submerged in. While not as transformative as Capote or as persistently commanding as Dodd in The Master, the blend of gratification, fear, and disappointment surrounding Gunther Bachmann in the end is a strong cap-off to a phenomenal career.

Jolie Spellbinding in Otherwise Flashy Letdown 'Maleficent'
Directed by: Robert Stromberg; Runtime: 97 minutes
Would the movie-going public even be enthusiastic about a live-action rendition of Sleeping Beauty without the perfectly-cast Angelina Jolie donning the horns, the slinky black dress, and the pearly-white grin of Maleficent? Perhaps, but given the lukewarm climate created by the reimagined tales of Snow White and Huntsman and Jack and the Giant Slayer, as well as Disney's track record with other live-action takes on their animated classics, it's hard to picture yet another flip on a familiar fable getting the same kind of attention without such a fitting, magnetic selection for the villainous lead. Alas, the objective driving Maleficent, the directorial debut from Robert Stromberg, aims to alter that perception on the iconic "Mistress of All Evil", offering a glimpse into her origin story and motivation for her wickedness. Unfortunately, without Jolie and moments of visual whimsy, the rest of this fractured fairy tale has been spun on the same wheel as others cut from a willfully dissimilar, lackluster cloth.
The skeleton of what makes up Disney's take on the Sleeping Beauty legend (even less Perrault and Grimm) has largely been preserved, but Maleficent starts out many years before those events, depicting a young and powerful fairy in her youth. Drawing a picture of a kingdom in conflict between human control and the autonomy of nature, the story fleshes out a whimsical corner of the land, the moors, for the winged girl to grow up and soar, never interacting with the outside realm until a young boy trespasses into the area. Years pass, friendships rise and fall, and the corruptible and controlling hearts of man encroach on Maleficent's domain, to which she's now their primary guardian. After intense conflict and scheming, the adult Maleficent (Jolie) -- stripped of some of her gifts, both physical and emotional -- lashes out against the kingdom, flowing into the events that most associate with the story through the scorned fairy's reprisal, directed at the newborn child of the king: Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning).
Both in conceptual art and visual effect supervision, director Stromberg has a trove of enchanting work to his name, so there's little surprise that he's able to assemble a breathtaking and convincing fantastical atmosphere to the unexplored areas of Sleeping Beauty. The moors Maleficent inhabits in her youth and guards throughout her adulthood are populated with all manner of unique creatures both intimidating and peaceful -- including the three fairy godmothers: Knotgrass (Imelda Staunton); Flittle (Leslie Manville); and Thistlewitt (Juno Temple) -- against a candy-coated, craggy and knotted natural landscape that offers delights for the eyes ... and evolves with their protector's temperament. A significant part of Maleficent comes in presenting the land outside of the kingdom's grasp as able to thrive on its own, serene and misunderstood by the untrusting structuralism of the distant castle, commendably doing so through both familiar and unique fanciful visuals atop the occasionally provocative camerawork of Dances with Wolves and Apocalypto cinematographer Deam Semler.
The elaborations to the Sleeping Beauty fable end up being a double-edged sword for Maleficent, though, deepening its expressive potential while loosening its grip on levelheaded storytelling. Creating the kingdom's panic over the mysterious moors adds a substance-driven, timeless conflict to the fable -- not only do humans fear what they don't understand, but they seek to control and/or destroy it -- while Maleficent's ability to soar through the sky on the power of her wings and freely cast her magic shapes the character into a sympathetic entity, justifying her wickedness. Regrettably, the script from Alice in Wonderland writer Linda Woolverton makes some sacrifices to get those points across, introducing some head-scratcher issues involving the extents (and limitations) of Maleficent's magical powers and the degree of trust allotted to the moors' inhabitants. It's never really wise to pull at the strings of a fantasy environment like that; however, those shifts downgrade the oft-told story more than they enrich it, even putting a different slant on the motif of "true love's first kiss".
Thankfully, Angelina Jolie's there to mask some of those issues with a spectacular turn as Maleficent. The iconic, anticipated moments of her villainy come later in the story, of course: her first order of business is to convince the audience of who "Maleficent" was before she recoils into herself and transforms into the "Mistress of All Evil", to which she presents a fine mix of upbeat etherealness and absorbing melancholy as she's pushed beyond her limits. Her changeover, and the moments when her old self peeks out from her ominous disposition, are what truly elevate Jolie's performance and the entirety of Maleficent -- the fiendish, toothy cackle emerging from her skeletal facial structure and piercing eyes, justifying many of the story's twists through the dramatic and iniquitous displays they afford her. Maleficent's rapport with her right-hand raven, renamed Diaval (Sam Riley) and quite a bit different than what you might expect, offers unique splashes of devious humor and compassion to her character, too, one of the more successful workarounds from the Disney's outlook on the story.
Jolie's livewire turn as the villain isn't enough to carry Maleficent through its messy, embellished outlook on the fruition of Sleeping Beauty's renowned plot-points, even though it comes close. Some of that frustration rests on the shoulders of unpersuasive performances in key roles, where Elle Fanning's typically amiable cheerfulness as Princess Aurora and Sharlto Copley's mad fury as King Stefan are cloyingly projected to the rafters with little nuance. Through a whirlwind of fire and iron that drowns out those performances anyway, Maleficent certainly ends in crowd-pleasing fashion, one that attempts to have its cake and eat it, too, by sneakily preserving some of the hallmarks -- the curse, the kiss, the grand final battle with a dragon -- while bending them into alternate outcomes more befitting this new focus. On the surface, it works well enough as a fantastical diversion; as anything more, especially to those with attachments to the story, it results in little more than yet another clunky fairy-tale redux that barely glides alongside its contemporaries thanks to sensory splendor and a bewitching lead.

OMFG! Best cut scene I have seen in a looong time!
I really wish they would make a console FF game with a bad/sad ending like this. That you still "beat" the last boss but that is still not enough so instead of the happy ending like always it would instead mean the end of the world.
I myself think that would be an EPIC ending for a console game. What other game have done that? I think it would be seen as something new and VERY good/refreshing.

I just hope they learned their lesson and lesson well. They can make an MMORPG that's fine but they are designing the game with a party in mind. What Square-Enix should do is make you have a party too. Similar of their games like FFXIII and such they should make you have a party like much. 1-5 extra characters is fine however in an dungeon or raid a party of one is fine.

Three local AT&T employees were charged Friday with offering thousands of dollars in discounted transactions, making fake transactions or stealing money from the business, with one employee accused of racking up more than $13,000 worth of losses in just five days.
The probable cause affidavits for all three employees do not say they were acting together, but the allegations are the same for each.
The investigation began after an employee told a store manager that she thought former employee Adam P. Kraft was doing suspicious transactions.
Throughout the investigation, police found that Kraft, 30, of the 6300 block of Goodfellow Drive, either logged fictitious transactions or trade-ins, offered discounts to people who were not eligible or took merchandise or cash from the business while he was employed, according to the probable cause affidavit.
From June 24 to 29, Kraft's actions resulted in $13,157 in losses for AT&T, the affidavit said.
The other two employees charged, 26-year-old Cassandra R. DeHaven of the 2200 block of Butler Road and 28-year-old Bryan S. Rietdorf of New Haven, are accused of similar actions, but their actions resulted in smaller losses, according to the affidavits.
The documents said Rietdorf's actions resulted in $1,091 in losses for AT&T, and DeHaven was accused of causing losses totaling $2,640.
The three are charged with one count of theft each and were released Friday evening on their own recognizance from Allen County Lockup.
Warrant issued in credit card theft
A Fort Wayne man hired by a partly blind woman to do maintenance at her house now stands accused of stealing her credit cards and piling up more than $10,000 in charges.
The woman told police she hired Cameron E. Brooks, 38, of the 5300 block of Billjo Drive, in November to do maintenance at her home and noticed a few months later that her credit cards were missing, according to the probable cause affidavit filed Friday.
Because of her visual impairment, the woman told police she did not realize the cards were missing.
She listed for police numerous credit card transactions she said she didn't make and that totaled $13,342, the report said.
Police said security videos at Wal-Mart showed Brooks buying about $1,100 in merchandise with the woman's cards.
The affidavit also said he told police he had used the cards before those videos were recorded.
He was not in custody Friday night, but a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Move Over LastCall: Barneys Is Launching a Discount Outlet Site
Last year's Barney's launched a discount site for the notorious warehouse sale. Today WWD reports that the brand will be launching BarneysWarehouse.com, an outlet site featuring deeply discounted designer clothes, on Monday, February 4.
Similar to Net-a-Porter's offshoot The Outnet, the site will be used for liquidation of past-season sale items at discounts of up to 75% percent off of women's wear, men's wear, children's wear and, the home line Chelsea Passage. A Barney's rep explains: "The warehouse sale is [a factory] outlet in the same way that Barneys.com is a flagship and should reflect the Madison Avenue location. "
Last week, Barneys announced that the Warehouse Sale would be returning to the internet in February, but did not reveal an official date. And like last year, they gave customers the chance to sign up to receive email alerts for when the online sale started. The sign-up form is still active on BarneysWarehouse.com, along with the following copy: "Want a heads up for the next Barneys Warehouse Sale? Sign up here and we'll send you an alert."

Bill wraps up the season and the final episode with a look back at his goals for the season, and one final opportunity in the field.
Opening day doesn't mean much to me as a bowhunter, but to our family it means much more. The kids are busy, thus they don't have the time to dedicate to mastering the bow and arrow right now. Drew has vowed that he will kill another deer with a bow someday (he shot one back in 2009 when he was 9) but in the meantime, both he and Jordan (our daughter) love to hunt with a gun.
If you are relying on natural movement at this time, you need to know what you are up against. In most parts of North America north of the Mason-Dixon line, the peak of the breeding phase of the rut has come and gone. If you think of a graph of the number of estrous does this time of year as a bell-shaped curve, you will see we are on the downward slide on the back end of the curve. There are still a few does in estrous but each day that number declines fast. By roughly Nov. 26, in my experience, it is mostly over. Sure there could be the odd doe still in season after that date, but a hot doe in late November is a rare find.
I shot a great buck on Sunday evening. We have a fast-paced version of the hunt on the Whitetail Season episode this week so I won't go into the details of the moment, but you can tell when he steps out that I had a good dose of adrenaline surging at that moment! He is a great buck that I had some history with. I was actually hunting him when he showed up.
Whiteail Season: Targeting Giants
Whitetail Season: Stand Placement
Whitetail Season week 8 - TBD
Shooting at running game with a rifle requires a technique that's closer to shotgun shooting and it is more an art than a science.
For hunters, some of the truest tests of character come after the shot is fired.
The whitetail is found across America except for the drier regions of the West—including much of Nevada, California and Utah—and Alaska and Hawaii.

Went for lunch the last time we were in Seaside. Food was good but waitstaff was a bit inattentive. We will try it again at dinner time the next time we are in town.
It has a great atmosphere to hang out with friends and grab a drink from its great selection of all kinds of drinks.
We went to dinner with friends in Seaside Oregon. The food was excellent and we received good service.
I reviewed McKeown's three or four years ago and gave the place a very positive review. Since that review they've made serious changes in the menu and in the way the place is managed and staffed. The first change was more a simplification than a remodel. Unfortunately it dropped off a couple of the best things on it. However, the...
Food was great, service during our second visit was over and above what anyone could expect. The server Jennifer was very attentive and The night manager Maria was excellent. We had a bad first experience here and when the owner Nancy found out about it she did everything she could to make sure we gave it another try and glad...
the crab cakes were very good and the cottage pie was delicious. this is a great, friendly, place, we would definitely o back
The service here is really, really good. Staff was friendly and helpful with the menu suggestions. My fish was cooked just right. We were there on a week night so it wasn't crowded.
I would definitely eat there again.
Steaks, Cottage Pie, and Fish & Chips were had at our table. All of which was outstanding. We also devoured the appetizer onion rings. Those were incredible! We were concerned about our service after reading a couple poor reviews, but our service was wonderful. Definitely a place we will come back to. $10 corking fee.
Ron, the manager, made sure our large group was accommodated and serve efficiently. The crab stuffed salmon was excellent the accompanying side dishes added great flavor to the salmon.
Last year I had a terrible experience here and vowed to never go back. But . . . friends chose this restaurant and I was stuck.
I had the fried oysters and they were wonderful. The breading was very crispy and the oysters were really flavorful.
In fact, our meals were so good, we went back two days later; and...

Baja California
South of the border, where the rugged windswept desert meets an emerald sea, James Kay shows us some of the hidden splendors that await an adventurous photographer
Labels: Locations
For our most recent trip to Baja, we chose to paddle the 100-mile stretch of mountainous coastline south of Loreto where the 4,000-foot summits of the Sierra de la Giganta Range rise from the water's edge. In several locations, this rugged escarpment resembles the cliffs of the Grand Canyon. In others, red rock reminiscent of the Navajo sandstone of Utah's national parks lines the shore. It's easy to understand why much of this wild coastline is currently being proposed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Locals hope this status will help protect Baja's last undeveloped section of coast from road building and the rampant resort development that has so heavily impacted the southern tip of the peninsula at Cabo San Lucas.

A fine rich impression of this rare, complex cubist/expressionist composition.
Klee was relatively isolated as a primarily graphic artist until the Blue Rider exhibit of 1911-12 introduced him to leading figures in contemporary art; shortly thereafter he visited Paris where he was moved by the Cubist work he saw there. In 1914 he visited Tunis with fellow expressionist August Macke, and one might speculate that this visit to North Africa is related to the imagery of Spiegelndes Fenster made shortly thereafter, e.g., the pyramidal shapes toward the center, the needle upper right, tentlike patterns throughout, etc.

With the ongoing season I have re-rated some of the Rangers prospects. Although the "top 22″ rankings are from the beginning of the season, changes have been made in the positional analysis. This lists consists of NON-CURRENT NHLer's and for the most part players under 26. Basic comments have been made. Players selected, signed no earlier than 1997.
NOTE: With the acquisition of Rich Pilon via the waiver wire, prospect Dale Purinton and P.J. Stock return to the minor league Affiliate in Hartford of the American Hockey League and to our positional analysis. Jason Doig, Mike York, Kim Johnsson and Jan Hlavac have been dropped as they are in New York with the Rangers. This list as of 12-3-1999.

Nurse with policy background named to health boardBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | August 16,2013MONTPELIER The newest member of the Green Mountain Care Board is no stranger to health care reform.
More than 20 years ago, Betty Rambur worked as chairwoman of the North Dakota Health Task Force, which set out to change the way residents of that state paid for health care and providers delivered it.
On Thursday, Gov. Peter Shumlin appointed Rambur to an open seat on the five-person board that has undertaken an almost identical mission in Vermont.
While efforts to curb the rising costs of health care by upending the status quo have struggled to gain steam in the past, Rambur said the landscape today is far more hospitable to the kinds of potentially disruptive innovations needed to rein in runaway costs.
In that era, as a nation we knew that the system wasnt going to be sustainable, Rambur said Thursday. But whats different now is we have federal legislation, and things are happening federally, and I think theres also a growing awareness on the part of the public that so many elements of the system dont work.
Rambur, a registered nurse and professor of nursing and health policy at the University of Vermont, takes over the seat previously held by Al Gobeille, who was named earlier this month to succeed the outgoing Anya Rader Wallack as chairman of the GMCB.
Rader Wallack, who said she left the post to spend more time at her home in Rhode Island, is now working as a consultant to the state on implementing a $45 million federal health care innovation grant.
Betty brings two critical skills to the board. As a nurse she has the hands-on health care experience of those who deliver care in our hospitals, clinics and doctors offices, Shumlin said in a statement. But she is also an expert in health policy, understanding the complex financing of care, as well as the special challenges of delivering health care in rural areas.
Rambur said Vermonts small size positions it well to succeed in its latest reform initiative.
We are a nation with a paradox of overtreatment and undertreatment, Rambur said. And as a small state and a vibrant state, we really do have an opportunity to get it just right.
The Green Mountain Care Board, a quasi-judicial body created by the Legislature in 2010, has the power to set hospital budgets, fix provider rates, and approve or deny premium increases sought by health insurance companies. The board will ultimately oversee the states transition to a publicly financed health care system, something Shumlin has said will happen in 2017.
According to a news release from the Shumlin administration, Rambur has served as a family nurse practitioner, physician assistant, health services researcher and nurse educator. She also served as founding dean of UVMs College of Nursing and Health Sciences from 2002-2009, according to the release.

San Antonio, Texas-based Taco Cabana will celebrate the opening of a new restaurant location in its hometown. The location continues the brand's year-long initiative to remodel all San Antonio restaurants and is the first to open in the market since 2008.
The new unit features a cleaner design with splashes of bold color, decorative estrella lights, 'papel picado' (iconic flags symbolizing a Mexican celebration) and photography to reflect a contemporary, authentic Mexican culture.
The Ralph Fair Road location marks the chain's 42nd in San Antonio.
"This is our hometown and we want to continue to grow with the city," said Todd Coerver, chief marketing officer at Taco Cabana. "Our roots began here and we'll continue to look at ways to reinvest in and reinforce our commitment to the community that has been so supportive of us over the years. This new restaurant is an example of the changes guests will see across San Antonio as we remodel and elevate our service offering."
Additionally, Taco Cabana has announced plans to begin remodeling all of its San Antonio and Houston locations with completion slated for this time next year. The changes will be reflected in unit design as well as elevated service.
Restaurant interiors are being updated with bold colors, fresh new salsa bars, contemporary wood furniture, flat screen televisions and free Wi-Fi. The TC patio also is getting a makeover with new seating, updated patio covers and new sun screens featuring 'papel picado' flags fashioned from laser-cut metal.
The guest experience enhancements include:
"The changes we are making to our restaurants are designed to contemporize and enhance the guest experience while continuing to provide great handmade Mexican food at an affordable price," Coerver said. "Every strong heritage brand must be willing to periodically reinvigorate itself to continue to meet the evolving needs of today's consumer. With these efforts and the response we've been getting, we are certainly excited about the future at Taco Cabana."

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Nail-biter turns into a rout for Jones
KINGSTON, ONT. — Manitoba's Jennifer Jones drew for a four-ender in the seventh end and then stole three more in the eighth end to turn a 4-4 nail-biter with Nova Scotia into an 11-4 rout here at the Canadian women's curling championship Monday afternoon.
Manitoba actually trailed 3-1 heading into the fifth end as Jones, who has been at the very top of her game this week, uncharacteristically struggled with her draw weight and broom placement early on, shooting just 73 per cent through the first five ends.
But this game ultimately turned on the seventh end. With the game tied and Manitoba already lying three, Nova Scotia skip Mary-Anne Arsenault sailed a freeze attempt through the house with her final stone of the end. Jones attempted a split on a Manitoba stone just out front of the rings for a possible five-ender, but had to settle for four when the split failed.
"We had a really close game and then we popped a four," said Jones, noting that's been Nova Scotia's undoing here this week as a team of women who won five Canadian titles together are now winless in their first four games. "I think a lot of their games have been close and they've given up one bad end."
That's been the problem alright, said Nova Scotia second Colleen Jones. "In the Maritimes, if you have one miss in an end, you don't pay for it with a three or four," said Jones. "You can always get out of it."
With the victory, Manitoba improves to 4-0 and remains in a tie for first place with Ontario's Rachel Homan, Saskatchewan's Jill Shumay and Canada's Heather Nedohin. Nedohin beat Quebec's Allison Ross 12-2 Monday afternoon; Homan needed an extra end to dispatch B.C.'s Kelly Scott 9-8; and Shumay drew to backing with her final stone of the 10th end to beat Alberta 7-6.
Jones returns to the ice Monday evening, when she plays NWT's Kerry Galusha (1-3).
