As first lady Michelle Obama, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Gov. Pat Quinn and hundreds of teary-eyed mourners attended the funeral of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton Saturday, the men police say were responsible for her murder were gearing up to head to a strip club.
Police say they arrested Michael Ward, 18, and Kenneth Williams, 20, both reputed gang members, as they headed to a strip club Saturday in Harvey to celebrate a friend's birthday.
"I don't even know what to say about that," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said. "They were going out to celebrate at a strip club."
Ward did not hold up under questioning and confessed to pulling the trigger and firing into a group of King College Prep students at a North Kenwood neighborhood park that he mistook for rival gang members, police said. The pair were allegedly seeking retaliation after Williams was shot in the arm in July.
Williams declined to help prosecute the man police arrested for the shooting, instead choosing to seek street justice, police said.
"The offenders had it all wrong," McCarthy said Monday evening after announcing murder charges against both men. "They thought the group they shot into included members of a rival gang, instead, it was a group of upstanding determined kids, who, like Hadiya, were repulsed by the gang life style."
Hadiya's mother, Cleopatra Pendleton, was thrilled by the news.
"I'm ecstatic. The whole family is ecstatic. I just pray they are penalized to the full extent of the law," said Pendleton, who was in the nation's capital to attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
"There's no closure," she said of the arrests. "She was robbed of a lot of different experiences, but it helps."
Ward, of the 300 block of West 59th Street, and Williams, of the 3900 block of South Lake Park Avenue, were charged with first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm. Both men are expected in Bond Court Tuesday morning.
Since her death, Hadiya has become a national symbol of senseless violence.
The charges come two days after Mrs. Obama flew in to attend Hadiya's South Side funeral. Hadiya, a baton-twirling majorette at King College Prep, had performed with the school band at festivities surrounding the president's inauguration in the nation's capital a week before she was gunned down less than a mile from the Obama family's Kenwood home.
The Nissan Sentra allegedly used in the getaway was pulled over in a traffic stop two days before Hadiya was shot. Information recorded in that stop first led detectives to zero in on the pair about a week after the murder, McCarthy said.
Ward offered no resistance when he was arrested. Williams attempted to flee but was caught, police said.
Shortly after the arrests at 67th and Martin Luther King Drive, detectives began summoning witnesses to see if they could identify the men in lineups, a process that continued Monday evening as the 48-hour window in which the two must be charged or released from custody was closing.
For Danetria Hutson, 15, a school pal who'd gathered with Hadiya when she was shot, the charges will help bring closure. "I've been having nightmares and been paranoid these men were going to come get me," said Hutson, whose boot was grazed by a bullet during the shooting. "I'm really happy," she said.
After praising his men, McCarthy, lauded the Pendleton family.
"They have a strength that makes us strong ," McCarthy said.
Hours after the two were taken into custody, Emanuel called Hadiya's mother to let her know about the development.
On the afternoon of Jan. 29, a gunman jumped a fence and fired into a group of King College Prep students who had gathered under a canopy at Vivian Gordon Harsh Park in the 4400 block of South Oakenwald to get out the rain after finishing exams at their nearby school.
"This incident did not have to occur," said McCarthy who argued for stricter mandatory minimum sentencing laws for gun offenses. McCarthy said Ward was arrested in 2011 for unlawful use of a fiream and pleaded guilty, for which he was sentenced to two years of probation. Ward was on probation when he allegedly shot Hadiya.
President Obama, who sent the Pendleton family a handwritten condolence note, is expected in Chicago Friday to discuss gun violence and other issues.
Hadiya dreamed of being an attorney and was planning a summer trip to France.

So I tried to use the random system and planet generator to set a scene for the upcoming game session. I have a system surrounded by Warp Turbulence with a Vigorous white star and a packed Inner Cauldron (IC) - four planets and a gravity riptide. This is what the IC looks like:
1) Planet/Small/Low Gravity/No Orbital Features/No Atmosphere/Burning World/One Landmass/No Resources
2) Gravity Riptide
3) Planet/Large and Dense/High Gravity/Lesser Moon and Large Asteroid/Moderate Toxic Atmosphere/Burning World/One Landmass/Major Industrial Metal (86), Sustainable Exotic Material (50), Major Ornamental (95)
4) Planet/Small and Dense/Normal Gravity/Lesser Moon/Moderate Toxic Atmosphere/Burning World/Two Landmasses/Significant Industrial Metal (83), Minimal Ornamental (12), Significant Industrial Metal (71), Major Radioactive (88), Sustainable Eldar Ruins (49)
5) Planet/Small/Low Gravity/No Orbital Features/Thin and Pure Atmosphere/Hot World/Limited Ecosystem/One Landmass/Wasteland (Desolate/Ruined)/Significant Radioactive (66)
Then we have the Primary Biosphere which was dissapointing with only a single Asteroid Belt. The Outer Reaches consisted of a Gas Giant and another Asteroid Belt. The Gas Giant is of typical size (for a Gas Giant) and has Titanic Gravity resulting in fifteen orbital features! Of these there are 5 Planetary Rings (Dust) - so a really big dust ring, 4 Lesser Moons, and six Moons. The lesser moons provide the following Resources: Limited Industrial Metal (30), Limited Exotic Material (38), Limited Radioactive (31).
Moons get generated like Planets (but lack Orbital Features of their own)…
1) Moon/Large/Normal Gravity/Moderate Tainted Atmosphere/Cold World/Liquid Water/Five Landmasses/Limited Radioactive (19), Limited Ornamental (27), Sustainable Industrial Metal (41), Major Ornamental (87), Significant Industrial Metal (67), Sustainable Radioactive (48)
2) Moon/Large/Normal Gravity/Heavy Toxic Atmosphere/Ice World/Five Landmasses/Minimal Ornamental (13), Limited Ornamental (34), Limited Industrial Metal (31), Sustainable Ornamental (57), Limited Radiactive (32)
3) Moon/Small/Low Gravity/Moderate Deadly Atmosphere/Cold World/One Landmass/Significant Radiactive (72), Sustainable Ornamental (43)
4) Moon/Small/Low Gravity/Thin Pure Atmosphere/Cold World/Trapped Water/One Landmass/Sustainable Xenos Ruin of Undiscovered Species (45)
5) Moon/Small/Normal Gravity/Moderate Pure Atmosphere/Cold World/Limited Ecosystem/Two Landmasses/Wasteland (Expansive), Plains(Extreme Temperature, Fertile), Mountains (Boundary)/No Resources
6) Moon/Small/Low Gravity/Thin Tainted Atmosphere/Ice World/Inhospitable/One Landmass/Sustainable Industrial Metal (61)
And that's it aside from Landmarks (which I just can't bring myself to care about right now). We have two different xenos ruins in the system, and one nice set of plains (that offer no resources to speak of). Nothing of note living here beyond simple lifeforms - maybe up to insects at best on two worlds.
This took about 2.5 hours of my time, and I doubt I'll ever do it again. If this can be put into a random system generator, I'd be very happy to use that (click a button, get a system - yes please), but otherwise it's just too much work for what you get out of it.

DIRECTV for Android App v2.2.3 Issues & Discussion

BUT.....there was one big change I noticed!
Streaming video on my EVO 4G LTE in the app WORKED!!! No more error message when trying to play video!
The only thing I noticed is that even over my home WiFi which is over 20Mb down connection, the start of every video is very very blocky and that lasts for a few seconds before clearing up...

What are you doing when its sluggish?....app for me shows no sluggishness tbh...just the issue with the initial buffering of the videos is only thing I show this far...
When playback of a video fails, that is when things slow down. Scrolling becomes very slow at that point and longer "loading" screens. If I don't try and play a video, the app is fine.

wonder if this is a screen size related thing or if its an android version related since your on JB there...Anyone got a Note to test this on?....
Good to see it working on other devices it wasn't before like the Droid4, along side my EVOLTE!! baby steps, but were getting there! Ton of devices to support for here, but progress is at least being made!

Works fine on my Razr M with ICS, doesn't show content (other than trailers) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with ICS.

Regardless, as of 10/10/12, video from the DirecTV app does NOT work on a DROID 4 w/ICS.
It's now working on my DROID 4 (running ICS) as well. When I got ICS on Monday, I tried the DirecTV app to see if it would work, but it didn't. I don't know if this update will work for DROID 4 owners who haven't gotten ICS yet or not. If not, unless there is a problem with the ICS Soak Test which is taking place right now, you should be getting it within a week or two.

I'm not a developer in any way so I could be very wrong but I think that it may have to do with the DPI of the screen.

This works great however with the IPAD app on my IPAD 2.

Now I'm getting a dialog telling me that there's a problem with media player.
AT least we're seeing some progress....I went from having 6 channels I couldn't watch to now having 30 channels I can't watch....

John Patrick Henretta is now 70 years old.
He was convicted in April 2002, by a Bradley County Criminal Court jury in the death of Frances Rose Crabtree, a Salvation Army Thrift Store worker.
The case went cold in the November 1988 murder which happened across the street from the Cleveland Police Department.
Henretta and Michael Goodhart traveled into Cleveland on Nov. 30, 1988, and committed one of the city's most heinous crimes, sexually assaulting and stabbing Crabtree in the neck three times.
They had been down the street at Five Points drinking beer in a bar, waiting for the Salvation Army Thrift Store to close.
The pair entered through the rear as Crabtree was closing for the day, and attacked her, robbing and eventually taking her life.
Goodhart died in a Balstrop, Texas, prison, but not before revealing that he and Henretta had traveled through Cleveland and killed Crabtree.
Henretta was in federal custody at Leavenworth, Kan.
Lt. Danny Chastain of the Cleveland Police Department traveled to Kansas in January 1994, and interviewed Henretta about the murder.
TBI's Brook Wilkens also went to Kansas for the interview.
The Goodhart and Henretta had begun their criminal journey through the south after leaving Pennsylvania.
Multiple homicides, assaults, robberies, thefts and arsons were reportedly committed by the two men along their murderous journey, according to officials.
Former Bradley County Sheriff Dan Gilley said after the trial and conviction, "Henretta is one of the most dangerous serial murderers to have ever been housed in the Bradley County Justice Center. Henretta had two prior convictions for murder along with a very extensive criminal background."
In late 2005, requests for a retrial beganb but were eventually denied by the court.
He was set to die on Oct. 4, 2011.
In 2010, state Supreme Court Justice Sharon Lee upheld the death penalty, citing, "In summary, upon our consideration of the entire record in this case, we conclude the issues raised in this appeal do not warrant relief and accordingly, Mr. Henretta's conviction and sentences are affirmed.
"The sentence of death shall be carried out as provided by law on the 4th day of Oct., 2011, unless otherwise ordered by this Court or other proper authority. It appearing that defendant John Patrick Henretta is indigent, the costs of this appeal are taxed to the State of Tennessee,"
A stay of execution has delayed the process.
Joe Vaughn of Franklin is the prosecution attorney in the appeals process. The Tennessee Office of the Post-Conviction Defender is providing indigent defense for the capital murder appeals.
"The TOPCD's job is to make sure everybody gets a fair trial. They are generally concerned with doing away with capital punishment in the state of Tennessee," Vaughn said.
"The agency's mission is to ensure, through high quality representation, that Tennessee's death penalty is imposed in accordance with the United States and Tennessee Constitutions and to provide the other services to the courts and members of the defense bar that are enumerated in Tenn. Code Annotated, 40-30-206," according to the office's website.
"Our office is the presumptive counsel appointed by the State to represent death row inmates in post-conviction proceedings. We investigate the case and present the court with evidence of potential constitutional violations. Following an evidentiary hearing and briefing of such claims, the trial court determines whether the petitioner's constitutional rights were, in fact, violated during either the guilt/innocence or the sentencing phase of trial. If the court finds such violations, it will grant a new trial or a new sentencing hearing, depending on the type of the error committed. This is exactly the process through which we are going in Mr. Henretta's case," according to Justyna Scalpone, of TOPCD.
According to Vaughn, elements of the evidentiary trial and conviction phase are both in play during the current appeal.
"What this case is about is consideration about childhood trauma Mr. Henretta was supposed to have experienced and other things such as his being 'mentally disabled," Vaughn said.
Vaughn said the TOPCD presented evidence of childhood trauma had been "inappropriately put to the jury" in the 2002 criminal case. Henretta's mental status also came into question.
"In the state of Tennessee, you can't put to death someone who is 'mentally disabled,'" Vaughn said.
"What we (the prosecution) are doing now is working to prove Mr. Henretta had a fair trial and he really deserved the death penalty," Vaughn said.
On Aug. 5, special judge John Kerry Blackwood, Vaughn and the TOPCD team will present elements of the case regarding chain of DNA custody and other evidentiary items from the 2002 trial and conviction.

The RG equation for the generating function of the derivative part of the action is derived. Infinitely many non-trivial fixed points of the RG transformations are found. The corresponding effective actions are unbounded from below and do probably not exhibit any particle content. Therefore they do not provide physically sensible theories.
- Pion and thermal photon spectra as a possible signal for a phase transition (2005)
- We calculate thermal photon and neutral pion spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in the framework of three-fluid hydrodynamics. Both spectra are quite sensitive to the equation of state used. In particular, within our model, recent data for S + Au at 200 AGeV can only be understood if a scenario with a phase transition (possibly to a quark-gluon plasma) is assumed. Results for Au+Au at 11 AGeV and Pb + Pb at 160 AGeV are also presented.
- Effect of isovector-scalar meson on neutron star matter in strong magnetic fields (2005)
- We study the effects of isovector-scalar meson delta on the equation of state (EOS) of neutron star matter in strong magnetic fields. The EOS of neutron-star matter and nucleon effective masses are calculated in the framework of Lagrangian field theory, which is solved within the mean-field approximation. From the numerical results one can find that the delta-field leads to a remarkable splitting of proton and neutron effective masses. The strength of delta-field decreases with the increasing of the magnetic field and is little at ultrastrong field. The proton effective mass is highly influenced by magnetic fields, while the effect of magnetic fields on the neutron effective mass is negligible. The EOS turns out to be stiffer at B < 10^15G but becomes softer at stronger magnetic field after including the delta-field. The AMM terms can affect the system merely at ultrastrong magnetic field(B > 10^19G). In the range of 10^15 G - 10^18 G the properties of neutron-star matter are found to be similar with those without magnetic fields.
- Potential energy surfaces for cluster emitting nuclei (2005)
- Potential energy surfaces are calculated by using the most advanced asymmetric two-center shell model allowing to obtain shell and pairing corrections which are added to the Yukawa-plus-exponential model deformation energy. Shell effects are of crucial importance for experimental observation of spontaneous disintegration by heavy ion emission. Results for 222Ra, 232U, 236Pu and 242Cm illustrate the main ideas and show for the first time for a cluster emitter a potential barrier obtained by using the macroscopic-microscopic method.
- Critical line of the deconfinement phase transition (2005)
- Phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is discussed within the exactly solvable statistical model of the quark-gluon bags. The model predicts two phases of matter: the hadron gas at a low temperature T and baryonic chemical potential muB, and the quark-gluon gas at a high T and/or muB. The nature of the phase transition depends on a form of the bag mass-volume spectrum (its pre-exponential factor), which is expected to change with the muB/T ratio. It is therefore likely that the line of the 1st} order transition at a high muB/T ratio is followed by the line of the 2nd order phase transition at an intermediate muB/T, and then by the lines of "higher order transitions" at a low muB/T.
- Antibaryons bound in nuclei (2004)
- We study the possibility of producing a new kind of nuclear systems which in addition to ordinary nucleons contain a few antibaryons (B = p, , etc.). The properties of such systems are described within the relativistic mean field model by employing G parity transformed interactions for antibaryons. Calculations are first done for infinite systems and then for finite nuclei from 4He to 208Pb. It is demonstrated that the presence of a real antibaryon leads to a strong rearrangement of a target nucleus resulting in a significant increase of its binding energy and local compression. Noticeable e ects remain even after the antibaryon coupling constants are reduced by factor 3 4 compared to G parity motivated values. We have performed detailed calculations of the antibaryon annihilation rates in the nuclear environment by applying a kinetic approach. It is shown that due to significant reduction of the reaction Q values, the in medium annihilation rates should be strongly suppressed leading to relatively long lived antibaryon nucleus systems. Multi nucleon annihilation channels are analyzed too. We have also estimated formation probabilities of bound B + A systems in pA reactions and have found that their observation will be feasible at the future GSI antiproton facility. Several observable signatures are proposed. The possibility of producing multi quark antiquark clusters is discussed. PACS numbers: 25.43.+t, 21.10.-k, 21.30.Fe, 21.80.+a
- Analytical relationship for the cranking inertia (2004)
- The wave function of a spheroidal harmonic oscillator without spin-orbit interaction is expressed in terms of associated Laguerre and Hermite polynomials. The pairing gap and Fermi energy are found by solving the BCS system of two equations. Analytical relationships for the matrix elements of inertia are obtained function of the main quantum numbers and potential derivative. They may be used to test complex computer codes one should develop in a realistic approach of the fission dynamics. The results given for the 240 Pu nucleus are compared with a hydrodynamical model. The importance of taking into account the correction term due to the variation of the occupation number is stressed.
- Complex fission phenomena (2004)
- Complex fission phenomena are studied in a unified way. Very general reflection asymmetrical equilibrium (saddle point) nuclear shapes are obtained by solving an integro-differential equation without being necessary to specify a certain parametrization. The mass asymmetry in binary cold fission of Th and U isotopes is explained as the result of adding a phenomenological shell correction to the liquid drop model deformation energy. Applications to binary, ternary, and quaternary fission are outlined.
- Deformation energy minima at finite mass asymmetry (2004)
- A very general saddle point nuclear shape may be found as a solution of an integro-differential equation without giving apriori any shape parametrization. By introducing phenomenological shell corrections one obtains minima of deformation energy for binary fission of parent nuclei at a finite (non-zero) mass asymmetry. Results are presented for reflection asymmetric saddle point shapes of thorium and uranium even-mass isotopes with A=226-238 and A=230-238 respectively.
- GEANT4 : a simulation toolkit (2003)
- Abstract Geant4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter. It includes a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits. The physics processes offered cover a comprehensive range, including electromagnetic, hadronic and optical processes, a large set of long-lived particles, materials and elements, over a wide energy range starting, in some cases, from 250 eV and extending in others to the TeV energy range. It has been designed and constructed to expose the physics models utilised, to handle complex geometries, and to enable its easy adaptation for optimal use in different sets of applications. The toolkit is the result of a worldwide collaboration of physicists and software engineers. It has been created exploiting software engineering and object-oriented technology and implemented in the C++ programming language. It has been used in applications in particle physics, nuclear physics, accelerator design, space engineering and medical physics. PACS: 07.05.Tp; 13; 23

Margie Plus: The Skater Skirt
Oh, how I love myself a skater skirt! They're a closet staple of mine right now—namely because they're comfortable, have the perfect amount of stretch, come in awesome colors and are super-flattering. These babies won't break the bank and are showing up in all of my favorite plus size stores. Like most trends I write about, skater skirts can be dressed up or down. For a casual look, pair yours with a classic pair of Converse or printed ballet flats and a scruffy rocker tee. For a night on the town, wear your favorite skater skirt with a metallic or lace blouse and booties. Tip: To make your look a little more funky, pair a skater skirt with a colored pair of tights, like I did here.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (2/7/14) – When Chad Watson first entered the Vanderbilt Hospital Burn Unit, doctors were highly concerned with permanent damage to his lungs.
Watson, who lost his wife, and eight of the couple's nine children, suffered severe burns to his hands and lungs during his attempts to save his family.
Adam Brown, Watson's cousin, told SurfKY News today, which is Chad Watson's 37th birthday, that Watson, shocked and surprised his family and Vanderbilt doctors yesterday.
"Chad likes to do things on his terms," Brown said. "He is pretty stubborn. He decided yesterday that it was time for his ventilator to come out. The doctors went ahead and took it out. They were quite concerned that it was way too soon. But everything went fine. He was up all day, talking to everyone. But then, of course, grief would hit him in huge waves," Brown said.
Even by the doctors' estimates, Watson exceeded their expectations.
"His face is healing very well. His hands are still in bad shape and are going to need skin grafting. But overall he is doing very well."
Brown said that Kylie, Watson's one surviving child from the fire, is also doing better than doctors had earlier expected.
"Kylie is also still doing well without her ventilator. Of course, for both of them, their emotions are all over the place. She misses her mother, and her brothers and sisters. She was very happy that her father is now awake and doing better. Both are content to know that the other is doing well," Brown said.
Brown, who is the pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Central City, said he was also moved by one thing that Chad did yesterday.
"There is another family with a burn victim in critical condition on the same floor Chad is on," Brown said. "We have spent a great deal of time with them in the waiting room over the past week. Yesterday, Chad was introduced to a member of the family and was told about the severe condition of the family member. Chad asked if he could pray with them for their relative, and so they did. Chad led them in prayer. That is so like Chad. But then 10 minutes later he was weeping from the scenes still fresh in his own mind from last week," Brown said.
Brown and other Watson family members must now try to prepare emotionally for the funeral of the nine victims of last week's fire.
"We just want to be there to honor the lives of Chad's wife, LaRae, and those eight beautiful children who have gone together to be with God," said Brown.
Burial will be in Oak Grove Cemetery in Depoy.

Post subject: Favorite Movie Musicals
I would like to know what everyone's favorite movie musicals are. I've taken the liberty of writing out a whole review of mine, but you don't need to if you aren't so inclined. My pick is:
The Apple
Star Rock
Now, a bit of a preface is required. I go to Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public High School. We have a Film Critique class there, and at the end of the semester, students are invited to write an essay on the film they believe the class should watch, for extra credit.
I'd been planning on writing about a movie that was "deep" and "introspective" and "well-acted". But then... THEN... I saw a film I knew I had to share with as many people as possible. A film so remarkable, so engrossing, so ridiculously, hilariously, and engagingly bad that it became an instant favorite.
That movie was
The Apple
. It's full of hilarious screwups, nonsensical plot elements, and everything necessary to make a bad - no, HORRIBLE movie. But it is just way too much fun for me to give a hoot.
But what, pray tell, could this be about? Simple. A duo of Canadian folksingers caught in the tangled web of the Devil, in the guise of businessman Mr. Boogalow, who is taking over the world with bad pop music.
As for the film's history, it was made in the late 70s by an Iranian director and largely British cast filming in Germany, but it's set in America in 1994, and yes, the main characters are Canadian.
It was released in 1978 in West Germany as
Star Rock
. It was then released in the US in 1980, retitled
The Apple
Now that's 5 countries and 3 decades - so things, as you'd assume, are quite jumbled.
At its US premiere, the audience was given free souvenir soundtracks - most of which were thrown at the screen, causing costly damage. Subsequent preview screenings saw the soundtracks handed out at the exit - and immediately thrown into the nearest trash cans.
But lately, it has received a sort of cult status - midnight screenings are occasionally held,
Rocky Horror
style, and often sell out. Performance troupes in LA cover the songs. And apparently, the movie is one of Eli Roth's personal favorites, as he wrote an introduction to a sing-along screening (although he was unable to read it to the audience in person due to prior engagements).
It's full of spandex, glittery makeup, not-so-subtle Biblical analogies (including an entire hallucinated musical number set in Hell), terrible special effects, weird accents from British people trying to sound American, awful (but catchy) songs, and embarrassing editing issues.
And it all leaps off the screen with such clear devotion, such blind enthusiasm that I'm constantly pulled into a state of awe. This movie LIVES, I swear - the pure, manic, uninhibited energy this movie puts off is almost startling.
It's clear that EVERYONE INVOLVED put time, effort, and (in the case of the producers, at least) a considerable amount of money into making this movie. They were ambitious, they were determined, and they were NOT going to let anyone tell them no.
It's also clear that said people had next to no talent in the areas of screenwriting, songwriting, directing, acting, costume designing, or, really, anything you need to make a good movie except ENERGY!!!! It seems possible the movie was made only because the entire cast and crew was being force-fed ridiculous amounts of Mountain Dew.
Man: "
The Apple
? So it's a subtle analogy for the temptation and ultimate ruin of shallow fame?"
Director: *Drinks five cases of Mountain Dew* "NO WAY MAN! We're throwing subtle out - like, out the window of a high-rise apartment building. Maybe on a jet ski wearing spandex, that'd be SUPER AWESOME! The metaphor is when they're in Hell! And they meet the antichrist, and Napoleon, and some jaguar-headed dudes, and a vampire, and they all dance with this, like, giant plastic apple prop! DUDE!"
Yes, the dance described above is an actual scene in the movie. Which leads me to believe maybe it was something a bit stronger than Mountain Dew, actually.
Some of the choreography is actually fairly well done, Grace Kennedy has a wonderful singing voice, and the cinematography makes good use of the scope aspect ratio. That's about all that can be said for this film in terms of "actual" redeeming qualities.
As a note for something that did irk me, the movie doesn't QUITE jump right into the really entertaining stuff. The opening number is pointlessly, almost laboriously long, and it's not until song number three that the movie really kicks into high gear. Once it gets there, though, you can bet it doesn't stop. Its ultimate redeeming feature is just that the movie, in the right mindset, is as ridiculously fun to watch as it must have been to make.
Back to the story at hand - I wrote my essay on
The Apple
instead of a movie that was actually good, and then submitted it.
It turns out it was the only essay anyone in my class that semester bothered to write.
So, lucky us, my entire class (and teacher, who didn't bother watching it before the screening) got to see
The Apple
. Predictably, some of my classmates hated it. But some of them were swept up in it as I was, and so was the teacher - he danced to the reprise of the title song over the end credits. I've since been told by another classmate that he bought the DVD for himself soon after the school screening.
For the sake of going out on a cheesy overused line - take a bite of
The Apple
, and see if you like it as much as I did.
As a special note: the DVD contains both the anamorphic widescreen and cropped fullscreen versions of the movie. Be SURE to choose the widescreen option - the fullscreen transfer isn't even pan & scan, it simply takes the center of the image and displays it at all times, leading to many shots of arms (apparently attached to bodies offscreen) talking to each other.
Just because I like scary things doesn't mean I'M- okay, it kinda does sometimes.

Hairspray (the recent version) was good, and had some very catchy songs in it.
But in general, I prefer to see them on the stage.

The old ones, like Oklahoma! and My Fair Lady, Gigi, The Music Man, West Side Story, An American in Paris, Sound of Music... of recent films, my favorites are Phantom of the Opera and Newsies. Although Newsies isn't so recent anymore, is it? Hmm. Well, those are they.
Yeah... I just like musicals. ^____^

O Brother Where Art Thou and Moulin Rouge are my favourite movie musicals (Hairspray is very good though).
I love to watch O Brother Where Art Thou and inform my non-classicist friends of every reference to the Odyssey.
And Wicked is my favourite stage musical.

My Fair Lady, Phantom of the Opera (I guess it's a musical), The Producers, Brigadoon, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Lagaan (yay Bollywood!), O Brother Where Art Thou.
Several of these originated on the stage, but I've never seen the original and/or still love the movie version.

Large pointy pencils TheBritishInvasion, you got there before me. My favorite musicales are also O Brother Where Art Thou and Moulin Rouge, (now I look like I copied you, *sulks*) I am never sure which one is better though, my favorite is usually the one I watched most recently

Tin: As awesome as Into the Woods is, UF was asking about movie musicals, not broadway
Not that Squee doesn't wish there were a good movie version of it...
Squee's a big fan of some of the classics, especially My Fair Lady which is on Squee's top 10 movies list, but of the more modern ones, Moulin Rouge takes the cake

Across the Universe is okay. Coincidentally the only one I've see which makes it one of my favourites by default anyway. The licensing fees for all the music they used must have been awful.

Well, there's a very nice
filmed version of Into the Woods
. It's not technically a movie, since it's a filmed stage production rather than specifically made as a movie. But it's a very elaborate production, and also it's the only way I've ever seen Into the Woods at all. So I have a hard time thinking of it as a stage production, really.

I really love The Phantom of the Opera (although I enjoy it on stage more). Do Disney movies count as musicals? Kidding.
I really would love to see a Les Miserables movie done as the musical rather than the book, and I would DIE to see Wicked as a movie.

I don't see why not. They're movies which tell a story using a mixture of songs and normal dialogue. Seems pretty much to fit the definition of 'movie' to me

Rocky Horror Picture Show tops my list; I've seen it on stage as well and love it dearly in both formats.
This is followed up by The Producers, The Sound of Music and (if it counts, since I saw it as a stage production first) The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I don't have much taste for musicals. A lot of my friends in drama do, however, so I've picked up a lot of songs. My favorites are O Brother Where Art Thou and the Sweeny Todd with Depp and the lady that also played Bellatrix LaStrange in Harry Potter.

My all-time favorite musical is absolutely
Singing in the Rain.
And frankly, I'm surprised and hurt it hasn't been mentioned yet. lol "Moses Supposes" is one of my favorite songs... I've been dying to play Lina Lamont since the first time I've seen it.
My Fair Lady would probably come in second, with Fiddler on the Roof a close third. 5 years ago I would have added the Sound of Music, but I've seen it one to many times.
Wherever you go, there you are.
I now posses a Bachelor of Science in secondary education. I am excited.

The Thoreau that history nearly lost
We know him as the man who went to the woods, but Thoreau also journeyed to a more distant place where he could "stand and put all America behind him." The land was Cape Cod, the experience was the sea, and he recounts his trip to infinity in that engaging Waldenesque way. Thoreau knew Champlain had been one of the first to map the Cape, and he had annotated copies of two Champlain maps from the 1600s. Until recently, they were lost to history. Thanks to the Library of Congress, we have reproduced them here with Thoreau's own notes and an account of their discovery. They create a new window into the early days of America and a brand new way to read Thoreau. For lovers of the sea and of the Cape, of maps and of America's history, this is a gift they'll treasure.
Only from Levenger.

Thoreau on Cape Cod His Journeys and the Lo
A Gem!
My daughter Elizabeth, born, raised and educated in Portland, Oregon, now lives with her family on Cape Cod. Since they are a Coast Guard family, they won't call Cape Cod home much longer. New duty stations await. When the "Late Summer" Levenger catalog arrived in my mailbox a few weeks ago, you can well imagine the great excitement I felt when I saw that the Levenger Press edition of "On Cape Cod:His Journeys and the Lost Maps" by Henry David Thoreau was being offered for purchase. "What a perfect gift," I thought, "to help my daughter and her family call their years on the Cape to mind." I ordered it immediately. I now have the book and I will humbly offer my review of it. I will not attempt to review the content of the book, however. Many other scholars, far more learned than I, have already done that. Nor will I be so presumptuous to think that I can add something new to their work. Instead, I will give the interested reader my thoughts about the book itself. First of all, it should be noted that the book is a "gently abridged" edition of what was posthumously published in 1865 as "Cape Cod." The book does not suffer from this abridgement. Secondly, I must add that periodically throughout the book, one encounters illustrations artfully executed by Mary Bowmar Richmond. They add greatly to the book's beauty. Like Thoreau himself, Levenger Press was earth-friendly in preparing the book for printing. They chose "paper from a renewable and sustainable source" and the inks used were "soy-blended." The book was printed in the USA. Ensuring that the book will retain its quality and good appearance after years of use, the book is durably hard-bound. Throughout the book, Thoreau speaks lovingly, respectfully and endearingly about the natural beauty that surrounds him. He does not lament the hardships and misfortunes caused by natural forces, nor does he lose his good humor. The book is a gem. Don't miss it. Jim Dunn Bend, Oregon AC0075513465

Exquisite! Capturing the "Spirit" of Thoreau
This is an exquisite book in all respects: quality of paper, binding, and printing; layout of artistic illustrations throughout the text and quality reproductions of maps. Although I have not read much of Thoreau, this book has certainly inspired me to read all his works and to find out more about this extraordinary human being's perspectives on living, society and life itself.

Loved this book
Lovely quality, I especiallly enjoyed the feel of the pages, and the Cape Cod blue cover. Excellent quality and content not usually found these days.
March 21, 2011
Quality and Class
When I turn these pages, I feel soothed—the ancient maps, the drawings, the beautiful paper it's printed on. This book has a quality befitting the subject matter. It's true class. I'm amazed at how high the quality is when the price is so reasonable. What a treasure from the sea. Thank you, Levenger!

Thoreau on Cape Cod
This was a truly beautiful book. Living on Cape Cod during the summer and visiting for weeks in winter, I feel that this book resonated with me. I have wanted to order it for years. The problem for me was the price of the book. In retrospect, I still feel it was overpriced, but I was given a cash gift for the holidays and decided to splurge. I would recommend this as a gift book to anyone
February 13, 2011
Behold, the printed book!
Finally, a gift to be cherished...amazing to hold in my hands these incredible old, old maps that were once in Thoreau's hands. I am a true techno-addict and love my e-reader but Levenger Press produces such beautiful collector's pieces...substance, quality and art. Couture books but without the high price. Anticipating your next book products.

Rediscovering Cape Cod
As a Thoreau scholar I first have to admit that I am always skeptical about abridged editions, but the "gentle" abridgements have been done respectfully, and I would hope that readers will be encouraged to read more Thoreau. The book is beautiful! The map reproductions are such a wonderful addition that I feel like Thoreau is wth me as a guide. Living in a world where book production values have declined, it is reassuring to hold in my hand a book from a publisher that knows how a book should feel in your hand, how the words should sit on the page, how the illustrations should work with the words. It makes me feel that the fate of the printed book may not be as dire as we imagine. I encourage any book lover to add this to their shelves. It will not disappoint. And Cape Cod is an amazing book. Don't be fooled by its calm representation as a travelogue. Any book in which the narrator begins with a shipwreck and death, travels toward the light, and ends with the narrator standing with his back to everything he knows, transcends the genre.

Miller Park Drunk welcomes Rick Peterson
Baseball October 20th, 2009
I've been a fan of Drew Rick Peterson for a long time. His approach to a pitching staff is a pretty simple one of throw strikes, don't walk people and don't give up homeruns. Oh, and don't get injured. I've argued in the past that it is injuries to pitchers, above all else, that cost the Brewers their 2009 season and sometimes I almost believe it. Rick Peterson, it seems, believes it too.
They won 80 games with a (rotation) ranked last in the league. If you can just get it to the middle of the pack, you're probably looking at 90 wins.
So we agree then? Awesome. Today, I read an old interview he did with Baseball Prospectus (which you should totally read) and found something that even Manny Parra can get excited about.
BP: Does this mean you need to be incredibly smart to pitch for the A's?
RP: No, not at all.
Clearly this is a great, great hire for the Brewers and I really couldn't be more excited about it. He wants to integrate an organizational philosophy on pitching, a philosophy that Doug Melvin also wants and I think he's the perfect man to do the job. His philosophy worked great in Oakland and then not so great in New York, but I always felt that was more to do with the Mets not being open to his ideas than anything he did. Give the "Big 3" all the credit you want to for his success, but the Brewers are putting his chances of success in Milwaukee in his own hands and I don't think he's going to let us down.
Peterson told the press that he couldn't wait to get started and would begin studying the current staff immediately. I imagine he's going to be watching a lot of video and then doing a report card of sorts. We here at Miller Park Drunk always want to do our best to help and have compiled a guide to the pitching performances that can help guide Peterson in his studies. What can I say? We're the giving sort. Read the rest of this entry »

Norwood, MA (07/27/2010) - Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI) collaborated with industry leading programmable-logic vendor Xilinx Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) to introduce a radio architecture development platform that helps multi-carrier cellular base station manufacturers reduce engineering resources and improve time to market. ADI's MS-DPD (mixed-signal, digital pre-distortion) development platform simplifies the wireless infrastructure design process by allowing OEMs to quickly assess and reprogram the radio to remove non-linearities from the transmit paths and enhance radio power efficiency.
ADI's MS-DPD platform incorporates a high-performance RF and mixed-signal transmit and observation receiver chain supporting 2G, 3G and emerging 4G wireless protocols. Xilinx's Virtex-6 FPGA ML605 (field-programmable gate array) Evaluation Kit connects to the MS-DPD board through an industry-standard VITA-57 FMC connector. Using this system, the FPGA can be used to implement required radio algorithms leveraging the ADI signal chain available on the MS-DPD.
"In collaboration with Xilinx, customers now have everything needed to demonstrate the transmit section of a base station radio," said Martin Cotter, segment director, Communications Infrastructure, Analog Devices. "ADI has combined high performance transceiver components into a single development platform for speeding the evaluation of critical DPD algorithms running on Xilinx's Virtex-6 ML605 Evaluation Kit. The MS-DPD platform allows our customers to focus on differentiating their DPD algorithm from their competitors' solutions."
With the highest dynamic performance in its class, the multi-carrier MS-DPD development platform simplifies component selection and board layout to make it easier for designers of multi-carrier GSM and multi-standard SDR (software-defined radio) base stations to develop FPGA-based DPD algorithms. FPGAs also provide the flexibility to optimize the solution that competing fixed-function ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) cannot, while providing a highly integrated, low cost, low power and high reliability solution to present day base station needs.
"In collaborating with Analog Devices, we have been able to create a more modular approach to radio development, leveraging the new industry-standard FMC connectors," said Manuel Uhm, director, Wireless Communications Business, Xilinx. "Customers are able to rapidly evaluate Xilinx's crest factor reduction (CFR) and DPD algorithms in conjunction with ADI's high-performance transmitter solutions, saving considerable engineering time. Furthermore, customers can leverage the Virtex-6 ML605 FPGA Evaluation Kit and MS-DPD to develop and evaluate their own IP."
ADI's MS-DPD development board includes more than 12 Analog Devices RF and mixed-signal components, including the recently announced AD9122 1.2-GSPS DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and ADL5375 quadrature modulator, in addition to amplifiers, mixers, clock ICs, power management ICs, and PLL (phase-locked-loop) circuits. The observation path includes the AD9230 12-bit, 250-MSPS ADC (analog-to-digital converter) to maximize the bandwidth available for DPD.
MS-DPD development boards are available today to qualified customers from ADI for $3,995 each. The Virtex-6 FPGA ML605 Evaluation Kit is available today from Xilinx and is priced at $1,995.

Innovation, performance, and excellence are the cultural pillars on which Analog Devices has built one of the longest standing, highest growth companies within the technology sector. Acknowledged industry-wide as the world leader in data conversion and signal conditioning technology, Analog Devices serves over 100,000 customers, representing virtually all types of electronic equipment. Analog Devices is headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, with design and manufacturing facilities throughout the world. Analog Devices is included in the S&P 500 Index. http://www.analog.com

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
This article, published by Red Herring, reports the venture capital industry is increasingly becoming global in nature while the traditional U.S. presence in global VC deals declines.
Don't get Randal Charlton wrong. The executive director at the TechTown business incubator in Detroit is thankful for a recent announcement of $5 million coming his way to help graduates of his FastTrac business training program launch their companies. But, he says, look at it this way: The money, granted by the New Economy Initiative, a Detroit-area philanthropic partnership, is not being thrown at comfortable entrepreneurs. This is, essentially, aid to the unemployed. And, as such, $5 million barely scratches the surface.
Many of the entrepreneurs to be helped by the First Step Fund, the entity created by NEI's $5 million investment, are not launching startups because it seems like a promising thing to do. They have nowhere else to go, Charlton says. Their former jobs in the auto industry are gone, never to return. Their choices are to leave the state or try to create their own jobs in Michigan.
One of George Bush's most memorable lines was his complaint that the French had no word for "entrepreneur". Well, if Senator Dodd's new financial reform bill becomes law, we may well have the word, but no longer any need for it.
President Obama bet his legacy and the nation on the creativity, energy and drive of the American people. His entire persona is that of a man bent on creating a better future, placing the long and short bets that will insure the US remains the most vital and creative nation in the history of the world. His faith in American ingenuity and the abilities of the people to innovate and create fill every speech he makes. In particular four areas are the focus of his belief that Americans can lead the world into a brighter tomorrow; clean energy, communications, medicinal technology and space development.
Be it encouraging the development of a US clean energy industry, supporting our amazing internet and communications entrepreneurs, developing new ways to save lives and make Americans healthier at lower cost, or catalyzing a vital new commercial space industry to follow in NASA's footsteps and open the frontier to the people, in each of these areas the president is pursuing initiatives that are transformative.
Question: I've read a few articles and blog posts over the past couple of days regarding Senator Dodd's financial reform bill, and some of them suggest that it's going to be more difficult for startups to raise money if the bill is signed into law. Why is that? I thought the bill was supposed to address the problems on Wall Street that led to our financial crisis.
Ohio voters to decide if $700M bond issue expands investment in high-tech economy.
Self-healing metal that pops back into shape after it's damaged. Machines that give surgeons full-color, 3D images of a patient's insides. Sensors that warn police or soldiers of explosives miles away. This is the promise of a proposed $700 million statewide investment program that aims to turn sci-fi dreams into Ohio's business future. But does the promise hold up?
Numerous factors affect how angels value a company. Primary are the strength of the management team and the size of the opportunity, or a company's potential to scale. Accompanying this article is a valuation worksheet that entrepreneurs can use to better understand what investors look for and to identify factors that can justify higher pre-money valuations. Investors will find it useful to compare companies and determine whether valuation should be higher or lower.
This exceptional article offers insightful explanation and key details of how angel investors determine valuations, why entrepreneurs and investors often have different perspectives for angel returns, and what steps angels and entrepreneurs can take to quickly find common ground on this critical topic.
Investing in seed and startup companies is extremely risky: Angel investors typically realize about 85 percent of their total portfolio returns from 15 percent of their portfolio companies. Consequently, angels look only for companies that can grow rapidly. Entrepreneurs who pursue less aggressive growth are unlikely to attract angel investors.
An important voice in the angel investing world, Luis Villalobos has contributed a practical new term--"valuation divergence"--that focuses on a little understood fact of angel investing: Returns on investments in a company do not increase in direct proportion to the company's market valuation. Entrepreneurs and investors alike will benefit from a better understanding of this concept.

Created by YONEX in 1980, the ISOMETRIC head shape is a unique and evolutionary breakthrough technology in racquet design. In conventional racquets, the sweet spot is located where main strings and cross strings meet. The YONEX ISOMETRIC head shape allows us to increase the number of main and cross strings that meet in the centre of the racquet to produce a sweet spot which gives a 7% more effective hitting area for you to make match winning shots.
YONEX I.P.S. (Integrated Power Weight System) technology places weight at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions of the frame to give the face a greater moment of inertia.
The deeper grooves in the 3D Vector Shaft improve racquet stiffness and reduce twisting of the frame for 20% more face stability than a conventional racquet* - delivering precise control at impact and greater bite for the most efficient transfer of power.
VCORE shaft cross section: Less twist with a deeper groove. |
Conventional shaft cross section: Susceptible to twisting due to square shape. |
VCORE: Point of impact 1) Reduces impact force for greater face stability. 2) Achieves precise control with greater speed. |
Conventional racquet: Point of impact 1) Impact causes shaft twisting. 2) Less face stability with less accurate control. |
* Tested by YONEX.
YONEX O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft) manufacturing technology builds the ideal amount of shaft flex at impact into the racquet, extending dwell time for enhanced ball spin and directional control.
