'Warrior' Director Gavin O'Connor Joining Up With the 'Yakuza'In Development By Kate Erbland on May 10, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
After the debut of last year's criminally underseen and severely underrated Warrior, writer and director Gavin O'Connor did manage to find one major silver lining – the adoration of scads of brand new fans who loved his film and wanted to see more of his work. Fortunately, while Warrior went without much of the notice it deserved, O'Connor has not, as the filmmaker has been steadily lining up work in the months since the film hit theaters. Next up, Universal Pictures has picked the director to helm Yakuza, "a contemporary Japan-set thriller" that focuses on "an American intelligence expert who becomes embroiled in the affairs of a notorious yakuza godfather and finds himself plunged into the violent criminal underworld and toxic landscape of post-tsunami Japan." The film's script was penned by Chap Taylor (Changing Lanes), but O'Connor will now rewrite it, along with Josh Fagin. Imagine Entertainment and Brian Grazer are producing. While that storyline sounds a bit done-before, setting it in a modern time period adds some intrigue and, paired with O'Connor's knack for getting emotional performances out of beefy brawlers, Yakuza could end up being something special.
The 2012 Oscar Nominees: Silent Films, Surprises and ScorseseAcademy Awards By Scott Beggs on January 24, 2012 | Comments (15)
It's been a year filled with silent screen stars seeking redemption, the 1920s coming alive in Paris, a young boy searching for the first great director, sex addicts in New York City, horses going to war, maids of dishonor, and skulls getting crushed in elevators. Now it's time to celebrate all of those things and more with the 84th annual Academy Awards. They've come a long way since the Hotel Roosevelt in 1929 (although sex addicts have almost always been a fixture). Get to ready to smile, ball your fists with snubbed rage, or be generally unsurprised. Here they are. The 2012 Oscar nominees:
Year In Review: 11 Fantastic Movies That Failed To Find An Audience In 20112011 Year In Review By FSR Staff on January 1, 2012 | Comments (10)
Hundreds of movies are released each year in theaters or straight to DVD, and a large percentage of them suck. A much smaller group though are fantastic slices of cinema that thrill, excite, invigorate and entertain, and while some of them are recognized at the box office many more are left to die a quick and undeserved death. And it's essentially your fault. Of course I don't mean you specifically, but instead I'm referring to the average American movie-goer who chose not to see these movies in the theater. They ignored the critical acclaim, reviews and recommendations from sites like ours and instead bought multiple tickets for the latest Twilight or Transformers movie. So while it's too late to affect their box office returns (most of them anyway), Jack Giroux and Rob Hunter have put together a list of eleven movies that deserved far better treatment in 2011.
Year In Review: 11 Movies You People Wouldn't Shut Up About In 20112011 Year In Review By FSR Staff on December 28, 2011 | Comments (4)
This started out as a list of overrated movies, but we ("we" being Rob Hunter and Kevin Carr, rabblerousers) decided fairly quickly that "overrated" is an overused and abused term. Who are we, or anyone, to tell you that you like a movie too much? It's a rude thing to say regardless of whether or not we're right. But thanks to the internet sometimes one person's exuberance can find a virtual megaphone in all the tubes and anonymous users online, and that misguided praise can become deafening. And yes, we're just as guilty as the rest of you…especially in regard to our first pick below. To be clear, most of these are not bad movies. The majority of them are actually good. But none of them deserved the near-constant accolades that seemed to echo from one corner of the web to another ad nauseum. So without further ado, pomp, or circumstance, here are 11 12 movies (in alphabetical order) you people wouldn't shut up about in 2011. (**Note, there may be a few minor spoilers below.**)
Year In Review: The Top 11 Trends, Topics, and Debates of 20112011 Year In Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)
Usually I'm quite cynical about end-of-year lists, as they demand a forced encapsulation of an arbitrary block of time that is not yet over into something simplified. I typically find end-of-year lists fun, but rarely useful. But 2011 is different. As Scott Tobias pointed out, while "quiet," this was a surprisingly strong year for interesting and risk-taking films. What's most interesting has been the variety: barely anything has emerged as a leading contender that tops either critics' lists or dominates awards buzz. Quite honestly, at the end of 2010 I struggled to find compelling topics, trends, and events to define the year in cinema. The final days of 2011 brought a quite opposite struggle, for this year's surprising glut of interesting and disparate films spoke to one another in a way that makes it difficult to isolate any of the year's significant works. Arguments in the critical community actually led to insightful points as they addressed essential questions of what it means to be a filmgoer and a cinephile. Mainstream Hollywood machine-work and limited release arthouse fare defied expectations in several directions. New stars arose. Tired Hollywood rituals and ostensibly reliable technologies both met new breaking points. "2011" hangs over this year in cinema, and the interaction between the films – and the events and conversations that surrounded them – makes this year's offerings particular to their time and subject to their context. This is what I took away from this surprising year:
Year In Review: The 11 Best Action Films of 20112011 Year In Review By Robert Fure on December 26, 2011 | Comments (24)
Some other sites or site runners may look down on lists, but those people are what are known as no-fun douche bags, because really, lists are awesome. They are short, easy to digest little morsels that you can wash down with a carbonated beverage, argue about, and take recommendations from. If you don't like lists, you are worse than Hitler. You know what's better than Hitler? Lots of stuff, like peanut butter cookies with little peanut butter cups pressed into them. That, and also these ten action movies, which are my favorite for the year. Yeah, you'll probably disagree, so comment below or get your own damn website.
This Week In DVD: December 20thFeatures By Rob Hunter on December 20, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
It's a fairly quiet week in the world of DVD releases, but that doesn't mean there aren't some quality titles hitting shelves. Two fantastic films arrive today, and while they barely made a ripple at the box office that doesn't mean they're not worth your time. Other movies out today include the wonderfully suspenseful Julia's Eyes, the ridiculously overrated Midnight In Paris, the just plain ridiculous Columbiana and more. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Warrior Two men, one a high school teacher with a family (Joel Edgerton) and the other an ex-Marine hero (Tom Hardy), find themselves on different paths to the same goal: winning a high-profile MMA tournament and the large cash prize that goes with it. The story moves back and forth between the men and their situations until they finally merge together in the ring. Sports stories in general aren't really my thing, but I do enjoy a tale well told. Director Gavin O'Connor and his two leads (as well as supporting player Nick Nolte) fill the film with heart, great character and honest suspense. Most surprising of all, both men have an equal shot at victory and viewers will be thrilled and satisfied whichever way it ends. Lots of fantastic films were missed by audiences by year, but this is one underdog that deserves a second shot at victory. Check out Robert Levin's full review.

'Warrior' Director Gavin O'Connor to Slay You With 'The Samurai'In Development By Nathan Adams on September 30, 2011 | Comments (1)
If I told you a couple years ago that a movie about two MMA-fighting, down-on-their-luck brothers who inexplicably enter into a professional fighting tournament and subsequently beat all of the best in the world to face each other in the finals was really good and you should check it out, you probably would have looked at me like I was stupid. But then Warrior came out, and it had Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton in it, so we checked it out despite the ridiculous premise, and it actually turned out to be a fine little film. It's funny how the world works. While the performances were definitely my favorite part of Warrior, I must admit that the movie had a subtle touch when dealing with potentially cheesy material, and that went a long way toward keeping me along for the ride. Credit for that, and the casting for that matter, has to be largely given to director Gavin O'Connor. So now this guy finds himself on my radar. I'm going to be following whatever he does next very closely. And according to Deadline Suffolk, the next thing he's going to be doing is a movie called The Samurai, which he co-wrote with Michael J. Wilson and has sold as a spec script to Warner Bros. for six figures and change.
Box Office: 'The Lion King's Box Office Reign Continues 17 Years LaterBox Office By Jeremy Kirk on September 18, 2011 | Comments (3)
I may have spoken a little too soon about the Circle of Life in this week's Reject Report. The Circle of Life isn't complete until a 17-year-old film, The Lion King in this case, gets re-released in 3D on over 2,300 screens and subsequently takes the box office by storm. That's right. More than 17 years after its initial run, which pulled in $825.7m worldwide, The Lion King has Hakuna Matata'ed in the #1 spot yet again. It didn't match the $34.2m opening weekend numbers it made the first weekend of July in 1994, but it came reasonably close. Close enough to let Disney as well as anyone who even had an inkling of an idea to re-release an older film in 3D know that that might be the way to go. Just five weekend ago article were being written about the possible demise of 3D. With films like Conan the Barbarian and Fright Night not living up to expectations, it seemed the novelty of seeing films that literally come at you may have been at its frayed end. Of course, you can't give 3D all the credit for The Lion King stacking up against the competition. The film is a classic, regarded by many as one of Disney's best, and the children of 1994 who fell in the love with the film are now taking their own kids to watch it. Even without the 3D element it's a formula for success, one made even more potent with the added […]
The Reject Report Straps On Its Driving GlovesBox Office By Jeremy Kirk on September 16, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
I thought about opening this Reject Report with a play on the lyrics to "Circle of the Life." A certain Disney classic is getting its re-release in 3-D this weekend, and you know how we love playing around with lyrics here at the Reject Report. But then we witnessed Ryan Gosling wearing leather driving gloves. Never mind the white bomber jacket complete with scorpion embroidered on the back. Those gloves are what we focused on. Then, after about 45 minutes of staring, we remembered we have a job to do. There's box office analyses that need to be…um…analyzed, and four new wide releases to split the box office dollars between them. Two R-rated thrillers, that Disney classic that's getting a re-release on over 2300 screens, and a rom-com starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Over/under on how many words I give that movie.
Box Office: 'Contagion' Gives No Cure For a Sick Box OfficeBox Office By Jeremy Kirk on September 12, 2011 | Comments (1)
America had a fever…and the only cure…was more fever. Not cowbell this time. Steven Soderbergh's Contagion hit audience wallets hard this weekend bringing the director his biggest opening outside of films starring Julia Roberts. Maybe there is something to that American darling. Contagion was pretty well on par with analysis, knocked The Help off of its three-week pedestal, and ended up taking the #1 spot with a feverish vengeance. Okay, enough quips about sickness. Well maybe one or two more. As far as disaster movies go, the $60m star-studded film was pretty middle of the road, fitting in as far as opening weekends go between Poseidon's $22.1m and Knowing's $24.6m. Of course, looking at that reported budget, you can tell the film will be just fine in the long run. Most of the disaster films that have much bigger openings are Summer blockbusters, most of them involving some sort of alien being blowing up national monuments. But Soderbergh proved that even with a whimper you can create an effective end-of-the-world scenario and still rake in some decent cash.
Interview: Gavin O'Connor Discusses His Underdog Drama, 'Warrior'Features By Jack Giroux on September 10, 2011 | Comments (1)
In the wrong hands, Warrior could have been a disaster. If a few beats in Gavin O'Connor's family drama missed the mark even in the slightest, the final result could have been a sports parody. Despite playing in familiar territory, the Miracle and Pride and Glory director didn't make that parody. Instead, the filmmaker strived to be as honest as possible with the material at hand. In doing so, he's made an underdog of a film that's, ironically, about underdogs. Like his previous works, O'Connor explores the meaning of brotherhood, family, and overcoming insurmountable odds. The trick for O'Connor was to make those well-known — drama, not sports — tropes believable. Here's what co-writer and director Gavin O'Connor had to say about striving for realism, telling personal stories in mass appeal films, and love stories among men:
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: September 9, 2011Features By Kevin Carr on September 9, 2011 | Comments (2)
This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr heads into the MMA ring to battle Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, after being trained by a strung-out Nick Nolte who looks like he's ready to have an aneurysm at any moment. Then he is sent into a bird flu panic when someone coughs on him at the airport. Not wanting to suffer the same fate as Gwenyth Paltrow, he takes a road trip down to the Louisiana bayou where he runs into a hillbilly redneck alligator mutant. But at least he didn't have to see Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.
Review: 'Warrior' is an Entertaining Cain and Abel Story Set in the OctagonMovie Reviews By Robert Levin on September 9, 2011 | Comments (1)
Critics love to bemoan the high concept Hollywood production, those movies with an easily comprehended hook that seems ready-made for the pitch meeting. Their disgust is often justifiable. After all, these are usually safe, creatively bankrupt cliché fests, the scourge of the corporately-run studios. At first glance, Warrior — one-part Cain and Abel, one part Rocky and one part a blatant cash-in on the Mixed Martial Arts phenomenon — appears to be just such a flick. But when it comes to a picture's most basic purpose — entertaining its audience — an easily definable premise doesn't necessarily spell doom. When the commonplace is done well, with real feeling and strong characterizations, it can still seem fresh. Director Gavin O'Connor, who achieved that effect with his 1980 Winter Olympics hockey drama Miracle, does it again here. The premise is familiar — estranged blue collar brothers (Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton) hash out their differences against the backdrop of an athletic competition (MMA tournament). The passion imbued in the storytelling and the performances, however, is not.
Exclusive: 2 Stunning Photos From Behind The Scenes of 'Warrior'Movie News By Jack Giroux on August 26, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
I'm not usually interested in writing stories about photos. Most of the time, especially when you're not dealing with a superhero film, there's not much room for speculation or any sort of interesting commentary. With these behind the scenes pics for Warrior, not much can be said about them. However, I'll take any chance I can get to discuss Gavin O'Connor's family drama, because it's just that good. To make an easy comparison, it's this year's The Fighter. They are different films, but one big fact they both have in common? They're genuine crowd-pleasers. Warrior never panders to please. It, mostly, features well-earned drama that wins you over. If you need to feel secure about yourself, make sure to checkout how flabby and out of shape Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton look here. God, I feel bad for these guys.
Want a Tom Hardy and Joel Edgergton Signed 'Warrior' Poster (And Do Some Good)?Features By Jack Giroux on August 4, 2011 | Comments (1)
No, no, this is not a free contest. It's even better: an auction for The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. So if you want a Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton signed Warrior poster, you have to bid for it and do some good. If the awesome actors duo signature and that it's for charity doesn't convince any of you bums, perhaps the fact that Warrior is excellent might. Having just seen the film last night, I'm still surprised by how effective it is. It's a great comeback for Gavin O'Connor, who directed the solid Miracle and the big, big misfire Pride and Glory – the movie where Colin Farrell held a steaming iron right next to a baby's face, then went on to call the baby beautiful after doing so. Yes, this is indeed a big step forward for O'Connor. Warrior is a true crowd-pleaser, and not the dopey kind. Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton are fantastic in it too, so even more reason to buy the poster before the auction closes. Head over to Ebay before the sale closes at about 5 p.m. (ET). Go get a cool signed poster for a lovely film and giveback, it's a win-win.
'Warrior' Trailer: In Which Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton Beat the Hell Out of Each Other MMA StyleMovie News By Neil Miller on April 8, 2011 | Comments (3)
Consider this a gift of sorts. Sometimes the stars align and guys like Tom Hardy (Bronson) and Joel Edgerton (The Square), two men of talent on the verge of major stardom, get paired up together in a film with a more than capable director (Gavin O'Connor) working in a genre he's known to be great with (sports films, a la Miracle). The result is Warrior, the subject of the following trailer. It's the first Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) film trailer I've seen that has me interested. Not for the men beating each other to a collective pulp, but for the story it appears to be telling. Two brothers, hell bent on beating each other senseless in front of millions of people. Now that's a story I can get behind. See the trailer for yourself after the jump.

Peering inside the brain with MRI scans, researchers at University College London found that self-described conservative students had a larger amygdala than liberals. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in the brain that is active during states of fear and anxiety. Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity.
The results are not that surprising as they fit in with conclusions from other studies. Just a year ago, researchers from Harvard and UCLA San Diego reported finding a "liberal" gene. This gene had a tiny effect, however, and worked only for adolescents having many friends. The results also mesh with psychological studies on conflict monitoring.

Power 2008: The Elements of Influence
Try to gauge whether one Bostonian is more powerful than another, and you inevitably wind up with a series of infuriating Zen koans, such as "Is MFA chief Malcolm Rogers more powerful than über-philanthropist Barbara Hostetter?" Power changes, it overlaps, it leeches off of other power to sustain its growth. It can be intimidating, inspiring, and, most of all, fleeting. But it's also nearly impossible to quantify.
Which is why this year, we're taking a different tack. Breaking the Hub power structure into its 13 essential elements, we profile the local potentate who epitomizes each one: from power gained from philanthropy to power gained from coercion and domination; from those establishing Boston as a cultural tastemaker to the development titans sending a resolutely squat city vertical. Taken together, these case studies give a good sense of the kinds of people who make things happen around here, and — more interestingly — how.
What these case studies are not, though, is a ranking. So to those featured: No, you can't go make up T-shirts touting your being named among the 13 most powerful people in town. For that sort of validation, you'll have to consult this roster. It's based on the one criterion you actually can use to construct a reasonably accurate power hierarchy: how well a practitioner's peers think he or she plays the game. —Joe Keohane

A123, the battery manufacturer that supplies power packs to Fisker Automotive, has admitted that some batteries installed in the Karma may malfunction due to misaligned hose clamps. The hose clamps could lead to a coolant leak, which in turn could cause an electrical shortage in the vehicle. A123 says that fewer than 50 Karmas were affected by the defect, and they've already begun fixing the issue.
The Fisker Karma was recently named Car of the Year by British TV Show Top Gear and Luxury Car of the Year by Top Gear Magazine. It's also dazzled the media due to its famous owners and sky-high mpg rating. Plus the silky lines of the high-powered plug in hybrid electric vehicle make it easy on the eyes and the power it packs under the hood — 403 horsepower — causes car enthusiasts to swoon. It seems as if A123 and Fisker are taking heavy action to ensure that their prized vehicle retains that recent media glow.
"We have determined that some of the battery packs we produce for Fisker Automotive could have a potential safety issue relating to the battery cooling system," noted A123 CEO David Vieau in a statement about the issue. "There have been no related battery performance or safety incidents with cars in the field. However, A123 and Fisker are committed to safety and are taking immediate, proactive steps to prevent any issue from occurring," Vieau added. We should hope that with a vehicle that costs about $100k, an owner would get such careful assurance of its safety.

Educators want to give Minneapolis Public Schools more autonomy on budgets, hiring and schedules.
The Florida Council of Instructional Technology Leaders has named Debbie S. Anderson, a principal in the Santa Rosa School District (Milton, Fla.), 2013 Innovative Principal of the Year. According to the person who nominated her, Anderson "works tirelessly to ensure that technology positively influences student performance, as well as student behavior."
The talk of closing schools in Richmond is back on — and there's a third school on the list.
The best American K12 schools, many of them in the New York City metro area, are fully competitive with their peers around the world, even in math and science—though experts often tell us otherwise.
More than 200 schools are working with Pearson to address the ongoing demand and desire for results-oriented online learning programs. Increasingly, students who need a flexible path to earning a degree are looking to online learning programs to access quality higher education. In response, higher education institutions around the country are investing in comprehensive educational services that develop and scale online programs that are high quality, rigorous and drive student achievement.
The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation's (RBFF) Take Me Fishing campaign and Discovery Education have named six schools and educators across the country as winners in the first annual Explore the Blue Water Challenge and Explore the Blue Educator's Sweepstakes awarding winners with trips, grants and other prizes to foster water conservation efforts in the United States.
With the launch of Common Core Assessments (CCA), Linkit! supports educators seeking ready-to-go assessments professionally crafted by one of the leading developers of educational content and curriculum in the world, Curriculum Concepts International.
Dennis M. Walcott, the New York City schools chancellor, lashed out at the Democratic candidates for mayor on Monday, saying that he did not believe any of them had a compelling vision to lead city schools and that they had been pandering to gain the support of the teachers' union.
California schools would get $1 billion more than proposed in January to enact stringent new "common core" academic standards, plus almost a quarter-billion dollars more as part of his education-funding overhaul, under a revised budget proposal Gov. Jerry Brown released Tuesday.
With Illinois close to making shooting-incident drills mandatory in all public and private schools, some parents and officials say a proposed new law would require tough decisions on how to balance a student's safety with a child's innocence.
As part of a deal with the city, Portland Public Schools plans to commit $1.5 million from its reserves to fund arts teachers should courts strike down the arts tax.
High schools in Seattle won't have to give the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests starting next fall, the latest development in the testing controversy that has drawn national attention after starting in January at Garfield High School.
K12 Inc., a provider of proprietary, technology-based curriculum, software, and education services, today announced that James Rhyu will join the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer in early June.

I have been coming here for a very long long time and no journal in this new folder...
I hope this is not going to stay like this... What happen to my Journal..
|Sun, 10-21-2012 - 4:21pm
I think it's just taking some for them to complete the change-over.
From what I understand it is a huge under-taking and a lot of information to migrate over.

Hi Wren,
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. I've moved your journal up and you should be able to see it now.

Parsnips with a Mustard and Maple Glaze
This is a good combination of flavours, and a nice alternative to plain roast parsnips.
Serves 4-6
|3 lb (1.35 kg) medium parsnips
|2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
|2 tablespoons maple syrup
|3 tablespoons groundnut or other flavourless oil
|Salt and freshly milled black pepper
|Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 9, 475F (240C).
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|You will also need a solid baking tray 14 x 10 inches (25 x 25.5 cm)
This recipe is from Delia's Christmas Easy Magazine 2003
First, top, tail and peel the parsnips, then cut them in half through the centre. Cut the top halves into 4 and the bottom halves into 2 so that you have even-sized pieces.
Cut out any woody stems from the centre, then place the parsnips in a steamer, sprinkle with salt, cover with a lid and steam over simmering water for 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the baking tray, with the oil in it, on the top shelf of the oven to pre-heat. When the parsnips are ready, use an oven glove to remove the tray carefully from the oven so as not to spill the oil, and place it over direct heat turned to low. Now add the parsnips, rounded side up, to the sizzling oil.
Then tilt the tray and use a large spoon to base the parsnips, to make sure they are evenly coated with oil. Give them a good grinding of pepper and return the tray to the oven.
Bake for 25 minutes, by which time the parsnips should be nicely browned and crispy. Mix the mustard and maple syrup together.
Then, using a brush, coat the parnsip pieces with a liberal coating of the mustard and maple syrup mixture and return them to the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Serve straightaway.

After Permit Problem, Mamushka's Midtown Is Not Closing, Despite Rumors
|Photo by Ivanna Vidal
|Casey Zap at Mamushka's grand opening party in October.
On the venue's official Facebook page, a few members of Miami's music and boozing community started eulogizing the hangout in a mix of English, Spanish, and emoticons.
"You'll be missed, Mamushka's Midtown," wrote Bianca Bartolome. "Especially by all the ladies." Meanwhile, others mourned with double-frowny faces and brief expressions of disbelief like "No jodas ... wtf!"
Even the venue's booking manager Moshe Franco announced a temporary closure via text.
"ok so bad news! we are going to have to cancel all shows for Basel and after Basel," Franco texted to a select group of the venue's associates. "Mamushka owners have closed the bar for reasons we are unaware of."
|Via Mamushka's Facebook page
But after speaking with Franco by phone this morning, it appears that his message and the ensuing rumors of the Mamushka's shutdown were premature. "We were closed at the beginning of the week," he says. "But we've reopened."
And contrary to his text, the venue's Basel week parties haven't been canceled. "We're still doing the Nightdrive and Geneva Jacuzzi show tomorrow," Franco insists. "And we'll be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday too."
So what exactly led to the temporary closure? "We had a permit issue," he explains. "But it was taken care of over the weekend."
According to Mamushka's investor Casey Zap, "Two cops showed up and informed us that we had an improperly hung permit. It had been renewed. But we haven't gotten the new copy yet. And apparently, the permit needs to be displayed in full view with a copy of the renewal receipt.
"So we fixed that problem," Zap says. "And we're back in business."

|When i found out i was pregnant for the 3rd time , I was so happy. My kids were also happy to learn they would have another sibling, one they can play with and grow up with. My other two were 4 and 3 years old at that time. I was due in Dec. I found out it would be a boy and i was very excited to bring him into this world. At this point in time i was having a lot of problems in my relationship and looked forward to my bundle of joy. Dec. 9, 2000 @ 10 am i started feeling contractions , i rushed to the hospital and at 1:30 pm delivered a healthy baby boy. He was gorgeous, green eyes, light brownish hair , he was so precious. Family and friends came to visit what was one of the most precious babies delivered that day. I was such a proud mom. The day came when i took him home, my kids were eager to feed him, change his diaper and wrap up his christmas presents for what would be his first christmas. After all the sadness i was experincing before i had him, i finally felt so happy. I took him to his first appointment and i was told he was healthy and in good shape. On New Years eve night, i noticed my baby making a strange noise, I went to check up on him and he seemed to be okay, he woke up and i fed him. We were supposed to go out and celebrate with family members but because my two other kids were getting over a cold and my baby was an infant i decided to stay home with them and celebrate with them there. Through the night my baby who was only 3 weeks old, continued making that strange noise, i decided to call the doctor , left a message and the doctor on call returned my call shortly after. I explained what was going on and mentioned my 2 other kids were getting over a cold if it was possible my baby might be catching a cold? She adviced me to give him pediacare, give him saline drops for his nose and turn on a humidifier. I did all she adviced me to do. He continued making the same noise and i again called the doctor and asked if i should call an ambulance and take him to the hospital, i had no car at that time, she said no, that he would be okay that newborn babies made funny noises. I took her word for it because she was the " doctor ". Now, i have made a lot of mistakes during my life time but the biggest one was trusting her , that mistake cost me my son's life. The next day , he woke up to drink his formula,change his diaper and played with him while he stood up, he seemed fine, he then fell asleep in his rocker and i laid by him. That was about 6-7 am. At about 10 am , he was up again, i felt him moving and when i looked he had his eyes open looking at me, i started making funny faces at him, and doing that baby talk that us mothers do for our kids, and he smiled at me, oh i would never forget that smile. I played w/ him a bit and a while after he was asleep again. He always slept alot being that he was a newborn and i thought nothing of it , just that. Finally, noon time came and i thought i get him up to feed him , bath him and get him dress since it was new years day and he had a very nice outfit to wear. Grandma was coming over ! I started calling him by his nickname " Pupy " and he would not get up, i lifted him up and his little body was limp , he wasnt responding to me, i started panicking, crying out for him to wake up, i knew something was wrong, i called 911 and they told me to pinch his leg to see if he would react to it, he didnt, i then pinched him harder and still no reaction, i heard a knock and it was the police , they quickly started giving my baby CPR and i heard them saying he had a pulse, i thought what is wrong with my lil' angel, the paramedis came and rushed right out with him. I was yelling for them to please tell me what was wrong with him but instead the police asked me a few questions and offered to drive me and my kids to the hospital, i called my mother from the officers cell phone and when i got to the hospital i saw my mother and aunt crying, i asked what was wrong and it was then a nurse came up to me and said " I'm sorry, we tried all we could to bring him back, your baby is gone. I went crazy, asking why, what went wrong ! I hit the nurse, i flipped tables over i yelled asking god why my son !? When i was able to calm down a bit, the police officers wanted to ask me some questions, they said they were following procedures, which i understood but wished they would give me some time to gather myself up. Shortly after, the nurse asked me to go see him, to hold him one last time, i couldn't believe it, my son was gone, he was laying down in a deep sleep , i took him in my arms and held him for a very long time, asking god to please make him come back to me, i waited and waited but my son wouldnt wake up he was gone. I was told he dies of SIDS, for 3 months i believed that was the cause of his death until i got a call from my lawyer and he told me he dies of bronchial pmenonia ( mispelled ). He also said my baby suffered a period of 24 hours. I was devestaded. I wanted to curl up in a ball and just cry. I wanted to die and go with him but my other 2 kids were my strenght and they pulled me through. Is been 6 years and i still cry myself to sleep knowing my baby is gone, knowing he suffered, i feel quilty because i shouldnt of believe the doctor and should of called that ambulance. yet i trusted her. Today, i suffer from depression, i have lost interested in a lot of things i enjoyed long ago. I hate feeling this way, i want this feeling to go away but is so hard to fight it. I am constantly worrying about what can happen to my kids who are now 8 & 10 yrs old , i worry when they are at school, and am constantly having bad thoughts about what if... I know he is in a better place today but i will never stop asking myself, why me, why my baby ... I loved him so, still do, always will...
I know i will find some comfort in sharing my story with others and i know that any feedback will help me through this bumpy road thats always going to follow me. Thanks for listening to my story.
God bless you all.

|I am so sorry for you loss, I can't even imagine what you are going through. Your lil' angel is watching you and encouraging you to go on, you have his siblings counting on you. I just want to hug you. God Bless.
|Please don't beat yourself up. You did the very best you could; it sounds like you are a wonderful mom. Maybe you could find a therapist or group to help you. It DOES help to be able to talk about it. Losing a child is the worst pain a person could feel. You are in my prayers; please come back often...we're here to listen.
|I'm so sorry for your loss. As a father of three, I would know of nothing that would be worse than losing a child. On a related topic, I write for some local web blogs and a while back and I ran into a band named Cloud Cult, out of Minneapolis, MN. I was so enticed by their sound and music, I decided to write about them. I mentiuon it here only because I know many folks who have gone through the gut wrenching loss of a child could relate to this writer. Below is some of my review:
The group is lead by Craig Minowa, and was more or less of a garage band that played the local Minneapolis scene. Apparently Minowa held a variety of jobs including environmental activist, organic farmer, etc. He and his wife had a two year old son who passed away from unexplained circumstances. The death of the child apparently was devastating to Minowa. In time, he drifted apart from his wife and everyone in his life, became a hermit on his small MN farm, spent close to two years doing nothing but writing songs; songs that explored life, death, and general human mortality. The end result of this writing endevor produced three albums in the following years, They Live on the Sun," Aurora Borialis," Advice from the Happy Hippopotamus," and a soon to be released CD, available on their Website, "The Meaning of 8." Their music is simply brilliant.

From 2010 to 2011, enrollment of part-time graduate students in science and engineering (S&E) fields grew at a higher rate than that of full-time S&E graduate students for the first time since 2005.
The new finding comes from a report released today by the National Science Foundation that reveals that enrollment of part-time S&E graduate students increased 1.6 percent versus 0.5 percent for full-time S&E graduate students from 2010 to 2011.
During the past decade, enrollment of full-time graduate students in S&E grew almost 25 percent, from approximately 325,000 students in 2002 to approximately 411,200 students in 2011. Enrollment of part-time students increased nearly 15 percent, from approximately 129,300 students in 2002 to approximately 149,700 students in 2011.

text: Ben Shapiro's Obama Solution: 'Prosecution Not Impeachment' Print article Send a Tip by Stephen K. Bannon 8 Jun 2014 post a comment On Thursday, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) stated that he was "not, at this point, calling for impeachment." He continued, "The president has two years left in his term. We hope they pass quickly." That hope is empty. They will pass slowly. And even should Republicans win back the Senate in 2014, President Obama promises heavy executive action--action that will surely violate the Constitutional delegation of powers. Which is why, says Breitbart senior editor-at-large Ben Shapiro, impeachment isn't the answer: prosecution is. And in his new book, The People vs. Barack Obama: The Criminal Case Against The Obama Administration, Shapiro lays out the charges. "A criminal administration can do virtually anything, without any sort of real consequences," Shapiro writes. "Impeachment is rarely used - in the entire history of the United States, there have been just 19 House impeachments, and just eight of those ended with full removal after a Senate trial. No doubt the founders intended impeachment to be utilized far more often than it has been...But in practice, impeachment has been a failure." Instead, Shapiro proposes, criminal prosecution of the Obama administration under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act should be on the table. That act was created as a response to the mafia--it was designed to undermine mob claims of plausible deniability. It was created to hold command and control structures accountable for activities taking place down the chain. Shapiro writes, "Congress expressly worried in the RICO law itself that organized crime was using its money and power to 'subvert and corrupt our democratic processes.' Clearly, those worries were understated. Now the chief threat to the democratic process comes not from the mafia but from within the government itself." RICO does not rely solely on the Attorney General to prosecute--and in Eric Holder's America, that's a good thing. Civil suits may be filed under RICO, turning citizens into "private attorneys general...undertaking litigation in the public good." Americans become the check on the executive branch--and Shapiro argues for the changes to the law that would make such action possible against what he terms the "Obamob." "The alternative," Shapiro writes, "is an unanswerable government in which corrupt bargains between corrupt officials predominate, protected by the barrier of plausible deniability. The American people are left out in the cold." The People vs. Barack Obama will premiere on Hannity on Fox News on Monday night and The Sean Hannity Radio Show on Tuesday. It hits shelves that same day. It is available for pre-order at Amazon.com now.

Homemade baby food for sale
Ok, this is absolutely insane. I realize that it is primarily being sold in L.A., and L.A. is expensive, but $2 a container!??!! Plus 2-day shipping!?
I'm also kind of put off by the ages recommended for each stage of food. Max is only 7.5 months, and he had had enough with silky smooth textures a while ago. He will only eat baby food if it's kind of lumpy and thick, or if he can serve himself using his cute little pincer grasp.
I know I bitched about having no time to make Max's food myself, but I've actually started to do it. I made him prunes (his favorite, especially when mixed with oatmeal or mixed grain cereal), Moroccan squash and spaghetti & meatballs. It's really not a big deal.
Attention readers of this blog: I will be happy to make you organic
baby food if you are willing to pay me $2 per container. I will even
have Dylan recite her yoga chants over it, thus making it yogic and
imbued with special healing powers.

Tamera Mowry-Housley's Husband Speaks Out On Attacks On Marriage
Tamera Mowry-Housley's husband Adam Housley has spoken out about the attacks they receive on their interracial marriage. Last week Tamera discussed the terrible things people say to her because she married a white man. Now Adam has told TVNewser what he thinks.
"The fact that in this day and age, we get attacked for our interracial relationship is beyond sad…it is pathetic. Yes I am white. Yes she is half black. Marrying a white man does not erase her color and marrying a woman who is half black does not mean I am blinded. The problem isn't pigmentation…the problem is backwards, bigoted thought from people who should know better."

"Our key highlight of the second quarter was the approval of our sNDA for opioid-induced constipation in adults with chronic, non-cancer pain, the third indication for AMITIZA, and receipt of a $10.0 million milestone payment from our commercial partner Takeda in the second quarter. Sales of AMITIZA continued to grow in the quarter, and launch activities for RESCULA also progressed. We also made significant progress in our pipeline, including progressing plans to launch a phase 3 pediatric program for AMITIZA in the second half of this year. We are very pleased with these successes for our commercialized products and our pipeline compounds, and we are confident that we are on track to meet our upcoming milestones over the rest of the year."
