'The Homesman' Review: Tommy Lee Jones On An Ill-Fated Journey
Movie Reviews By Allison Loring on November 12, 2014 | Be the First To CommentTimes were rough when America was just starting out, and Tommy Lee Jones's The Homesman (based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout) does not shy away from this fact, but despite the difficult situations The Homesman tackles, it never strips the country of its natural beauty. Bathing each frame in a warm glow of primal golds, The Homesman makes it clear from the start that home and community are what the characters are truly fighting for. Taking the director's reins for a second time, Jones delivers a film that is surprisingly beautiful and humorous, but The Homesman falters when it comes to the narrative's pacing and character development. Dealing with disease, famine and isolation, it's not so surprising when three women in a developing town in rural Nebraska start to go mad. Their community and their faith hold them together, so when the town's reverend (John Lithgow) decides that the women should be returned to their families, that is exactly what is done. But when none of the women's husbands are up to the task, Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank) steps in.
Junkfood Cinema: For Whom The Thunder Rolls
Features By Brian Salisbury on April 22, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Cargill and I call down the thunder. Specifically, we discuss one of our absolute favorite exploitation revenge films from the 1970s: Rolling Thunder. Written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) pens this incredibly subversive Vietnam War parable about a man pushed back into a life of violence when his triumphant return form a POW camp is interrupted by a thieving group of good ol' boys/murders. Cargill and I chat about the baser satisfactions of this revenge movie, as well as the legitimately brilliant performances from William Devane and Tommy Lee Jones, and the intriguing religious allegory of the film's intensely layered script. That, plus…you know, Sam Peckinpah-worthy shoot-outs. You should follow Brian (@Briguysalisbury), Cargill (@Massawyrm), and the show (@Junkfoodcinema). Download Episode #8 Directly
'The Family' Review: A Disappointing Return For Luc Besson
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on September 13, 2013 | Comments (5)Luc Besson has been missing in action when it comes to action films for over a decade now. Of course he has written and produced a number of aesthetically pleasing shoot'm ups over the past few years — Taken, Transporter, and Lockout – but his behind-the-camera work has involved three animated/live-action hybrids, a bio pic, and two fantasy-type films. And precisely zero of them ever caught fire with us stateside. With his new film, The Family, it looked like Besson was returning to his playful criminal roots. Unfortunately though, the finished product isn't that film as it lacks the pace, laughs, and coolness the defined his earlier work. This isn't attempting to be Leon as it instead takes aim towards broad comedy, but even those outlandish laughs fall apart because we just don't give a damn about the titular family.
Blu-ray Spotlight: 'Rolling Thunder' Stirs Revenge and Drama Together With a Hook
Disc Spotlight By Rob Hunter on May 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentCult movies are impossible to identify until years after their release, and even then it apparently takes Quentin Tarantino to point them out to the rest of us. (That's not entirely true, but we'll let him think it is for now.) One of the director's favorite films, possibly even *the* favorite depending who you ask, is John Flynn's 1977 revenge picture Rolling Thunder. Having finally watched it I'd actually argue that labeling it as a "revenge picture," which is how it's been spoken of for over thirty years, is incorrect and ultimately reductive. Not that there isn't some wonderfully wet and violent revenge action to be found here, but it's hardly the film's main focus or only strength. William Devane stars as a Vietnam veteran recently released from years as a POW. He returns home to a wife, son and a small town that welcomes him back as a hero, but when he attracts the attention of some mean-spirited and desperate ruffians it leads to an assault that leaves him and his family for dead. Amateurs. He survives, but his wife, son and right hand aren't as lucky. So yeah, there's some revenge coming.
2013 Oscar Prediction: Best Supporting Actor
Academy Awards By Nathan Adams on February 18, 2013 | Comments (3)The supporting actor. He's not the guy, he's the guy behind the guy. That's not always a bad thing though. The lead actor generally has to be the guy the audience is relating to, so those sort of roles can end up being kind of vanilla. The supporting roles though, that's where the memorable weirdos come from. Getting a great supporting role can afford an actor the opportunity to go completely off the wall with their performance, or at least take some calculated risks that aren't likely to sink the whole film if they don't pay off. As a result, the best supporting roles of the year can be more interesting than the best leads, and this year definitely has a colorful cast of characters. Here are the ones that the Academy liked in 2012 with my predicted winner in red:
2013 Golden Globe Predictions: Movie Categories
Features By Christopher Campbell on January 12, 2013 | Comments (1)The 70th Golden Globe Awards will be held tomorrow night, and I invite you to join myself and FSR's awards guru, Daniel Walber, for live-blog commentary during the ceremony. We'll try to keep it smart, avoid too much snark and will likely be obeying the rules of the drinking game that co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have devised. It will also hopefully be more conversational than remarks we could have just tweeted, in order that I can turn the discussion around as a more readable post-event recap of the night. In case you're too busy paying attention to your TV to also read our words simultaneously. Anyway, you can't head into a big awards telecast viewing without predictions for what you think will win. Daniel and I seem to agree on exactly half of the movie categories. So, maybe it won't be such a predicable night. Check out our choices after the break and give us your own predictions in the comments. If you do better than either of us, we commend you in advance (and maybe at the end of our GG coverage too).
10 Unforgettable Supporting Performances In Biopics
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on December 27, 2012 | Comments (3)Biopics are always praised for their lead actor or actress' realistic or unique portrayal of the subject, but what of the supporting cast? Sure, we do recognize their efforts, they might even receive an Academy Award, but rarely are they honored with something as prestigious as an online comedy list. It's time to rectify that. Here are some of the more talented, memorable, or uncanny portrayals of people who were important enough to be featured in a movie, but not important enough for that movie to be about them.
A Movie For a Purple America: How 'Lincoln' Belongs to the Future
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn 1989, two major studios released films about race relations in America that couldn't be more different. Driving Miss Daisy, Bruce Beresford's adaptation of Alfred Uhry's successful off-Broadway play, was a heartwarming tearjerker about a rich, isolated elderly Jewish woman who comes to the astounding revelation that her friendly African-American chauffeur is often subject to discrimination in the South during the 1950s. Do the Right Thing, meanwhile, enshrined Spike Lee's place on the cinematic map. Its pull-no-punches mosaic of conflicting, negotiating racialized voices in contemporary Bedford-Stuyvesant refused happy endings and clear answers, leaving critics and audiences in a gray area where they couldn't decide whether the film was a lament over the brick-wall met by post-Civil Rights discourse, a call to violent action, or something else entirely. The relative critical and economic successes of both Driving Miss Daisy and Do the Right Thing paved a crossroads for future representations of African Americans in mainstream American cinema: should they pursue the direction of affirmation and closure in the face of racism dismissed as a problem solved long ago, or strive for contemporary relevance and a refusal of easy answers to complex questions? Time and again, Hollywood has overwhelmingly preferred to continue in the direction of Driving Miss Daisy. As a retelling of history, Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, which chronicles the hard-won political gymnastics enacted in order to get the 13th Amendment passed and abolish human slavery in the US thereafter, would seem to continue Hollywood's preference to gaze backwards at race relations […]
Review: Immersive and Accessible 'Lincoln' Belongs to Daniel Day-Lewis (And America)
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on November 15, 2012 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: Lincoln gets its full theatrical release tomorrow, so please enjoy a re-run of our AFI FEST review of the film, originally published way back on November 9. It opens with a battle. Not the sort of battle we've come to expect from movies these days, not one punctuated by booms and blasts and bullets, but one that feels almost eerily and unnaturally quiet. There are hordes of soldiers attacking each other left and right, to be sure, and as they grunt and grasp in hand-to-hand (face-to-face, really) combat, Steven Spielberg's Lincoln immediately lets its audience in on what sort of film it is going to be – a personal one, a deeply felt one, and one startlingly free of what we've come to expect from big, bustling films about horrific wars and the beloved men who carry them out. No, Lincoln is not exactly what you're expecting it to be – and it's all the better for it. The plot of Lincoln can be briefly explained in few words – it centers on the last gasps of the American Civil War and President Abraham Lincoln's (Daniel Day-Lewis) attempts to end it and get the Thirteenth Amendment (the one that outlaws slavery and serves as a a much stricter take on the Emancipation Proclamation) pushed through the divided House of Representatives. Adapted from Doris Kearns Goodwin's meticulously researched (and nearly 1,000-page long) "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," screenwriter Tony Kushner and Spielberg have distilled down […]
NYFF: 'Lincoln' Builds an American Icon Through Outstanding Performances
Movie Reviews By Daniel Walber on October 9, 2012 | Comments (9)In America we have neither kings nor gods. Our brief experiments with any cult of personality ended badly, though they inspired some excellent movies along the way (All the Kings Men and Gabriel over the White House spring to mind). We have put our greatest presidents on mountains and given them monuments on the National Mall in Washington, but we've never admired them with the same spirit as the divine right of European monarchs or the fanatical devotion required of totalitarian dictatorship. Biopics of our Commanders-in-Chief are often either ambiguous critiques, like Nixon, or flippant light pieces along the lines of NYFF's Hyde Park on Hudson. This history makes Steven Spielberg's newest undertaking almost unprecedented. Lincoln is an earnest attempt to give Honest Abe a cinematic apotheosis, the kind of hero-making treatment rarely given one of our leaders on film. This is also a new path for Spielberg himself. Previous capital-I "Important" films have focused on a more collective triumph of the people, from Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List to the more directly applicable Amistad. Where those works take a wide look at the trials, tribulations and heroics of large and varied casts, Lincoln puts on its blinders and focuses on a very specific period in the life of a single icon. Spielberg and writer Tony Kushner are only concerned with a few short months in early 1865 — telling the story of the arduous passage of the 13th Amendment through the House of Representatives — and nothing more. […]
13 Famous Actors Who Debuted in Iconic Movies
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on September 6, 2012 | Comments (7)Acting is like anything in that success doesn't come quickly. It's why we can go back and watch old clips of Brad Pitt whoring for Pringles or Tina Fey talking about the interest rate at Mutual Savings Bank. You have to start somewhere, right? Same goes for motion pictures – for most actors, your first role is going to be some mediocre piece like Return To Horror High or Revenge Of The Creature – but every once in a while an actor or actress starts off at a high point. Here are such high points, awesome first films that you'd be proud to be a part of even if you never did another film ever again.
Review: Solid Performances Almost Save Marriage of Uneven Tone and Terrible Soundtrack in 'Hope Springs'
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on August 8, 2012 | Comments (2)It's quite convenient that David Frankel's Hope Springs kicked its original title – Great Hope Springs – because such a tiny edit saves the film from a rash of mocking spins on its name. Just Okay Hope Springs. Totally Adequate Hope Springs. Hey, Not So Bad Hope Springs. The film, which centers on the crumbling marriage of Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) and their apparent last ditch effort to save it by way of an intensive relationship workshop with therapist Dr. Feld (Steve Carell), is perfectly acceptable stuff, but it's by no means "great" and it's not nearly as frank, honest, and mature as it would like to be. Instead, it's a gentle enough take on the romantic comedy for the older set that struggles to find its tone and aim, before settling into something that's strangely pleasing and oddly compelling. Hope Springs is both a rare bird (how often do we see mature studio films that examine faltering marriages and place importance on the value of lovemaking?) and a strange duck (how many films about faltering marriages encourage a first act of chuckles and titters before dropping the emotional boom, and repeatedly?).
How Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher and McDonald's Took a Visionary Approach to Batman
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 17, 2012 | Comments (2)Part of the appeal of Christopher Nolan's Batman films is that the basic conceit informing their aesthetic seems so natural. Batman is one of few major superheroes that isn't actually a super-hero. Batman mythology, then, lends itself to a degree of plausibility more than, say, Superman or Spider-Man, so why not manifest a vision of Batman that embraces this particular aspect that distinguishes this character from most superhero mythologies? But realism has not been a characteristic that unifies Batman's many representations in the moving image. Through the eyes of Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher, the Batman of tentpole studio filmmaking has occupied either a world of gothic architecture and shadowy noir, or one of schizophrenic camp. From 1989 to 1997, Batman was interpreted by visionary directors with potent aesthetic approaches, but approaches that did not necessarily aim to root the character within a landscape of exhaustive Nolanesque plausibility.
16 Movie Characters We Want to Spend Our Last Days With
Cinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on June 22, 2012 | Comments (2)Just as the fears of global cataclysm at the end of the last century fueled films like Deep Impact and Armageddon, the ticking clock to December 21, 2012 has led to more end-of-the-world movies that rely on something larger than a zombie outbreak or a deadly contagion (although those have been recently popular as well). The latest entry into Hollywood's obsession with the Earth's last days is the apocalyptic rom-com Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and if the Mayans were right, that might very well be the last one made. Film School Rejects responds to your concerns about the end of the world, as evidenced by the Apocalypse Soon feature currently running on this site. While you're catching up on these films to see before the end of the world, we wondered who would be the best people to spend that time with. Steve Carell's character gets to spend the end of the world with Keira Knightley, and here are some cinematic characters with whom we'd like to spend our last days.
Review: 'Men in Black III' Is a Semi-Return to Form
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on May 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentMen in Black II is one bad sequel. Everything the first film got right the second film painfully got wrong. Will Smith played Will Smith, the funny-for-two-minutes pug from the first film sang because someone thought it was funny, a two-headed Johnny Knoxville showed up for some reason, and Rosario Dawson was just, well, kind of there. That's what the second installment was in a nutshell: "just there," a limp and lifeless blockbuster. How does this 10-years-later sequel fare in comparison? Saying it's a vast improvement is too easy, since even if this third installment is utterly banal, it'd still look favorable in comparison. For the most part, Men in Black III corrects past mistakes, even going as far to capture some of the original film's magic. The film begins with Boris, played by an unrecognizable Jemaine Clement escaping a prison (which is on the frickin' moon!). Once Boris has broken out, he plans to get revenge on the man who took his right arm: Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). The villain travels back to 1969 in attempt to kill the younger K (Josh Brolin), who also foiled his world domination scheme. To save his partner, a much older J (Will Smith) travels back in time as well, where he enters the world of a less advanced MIB and less grumpy K. And, of course, he runs into other 1960s staples: racism and Michael Stuhlbarg as a kind-hearted alien named Griffin.
Second 'Men in Black 3′ Trailer: First, We Gotta Get High
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentA funny thing happened when I watched this second trailer for Men in Black III – I realized that I couldn't remember a damn thing about the second film, which is funny, because that film deals with Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K losing his memory (get it?). I remember Men in Black with nothing but affection, but MIB2? That's a blank page in my memory book, so it's good news all-around that this trailer made me chuckle and look forward to the third film (inevitably in 3D). Men in Black III goes back (back in time) after some funny space-time stuff goes down and Will Smith's Agent J gets hit with the news that Agent K is dead – and has been for forty years. Pitching himself back to the 1960s, J attempts to uncover what happened to kill his partner, fight off an alien invasion, and convince the younger K (Josh Brolin, terrifyingly well-cast) that he comes from the future. We got a look at the film's first trailer way back in December, but I daresay, this one is a fair bit better:
Tommy Lee Jones Will Join Matthew Fox in 'Emperor'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 17, 2012 | Comments (1)Director Peter Webber (Girl With the Pearl Earring) has a new project coming up called Emperor that looks at the tension and confusion in Japan immediately after their surrender in World War II. The film will star Lost's Matthew Fox as a man named General Bonner Fellers (or "boner feeler" as he was doubtless known in his junior high), who served General Douglas MacArthur as his leading expert on all things Japanese. Basically he was the 40s military version of kids that are really into manga and video games. Being the leading expert on Japan was a pretty important role in this particular moment in history, however, as Fellers ended up being the guy who had to decide whether or not Emperor Hirohito should be tried and hanged as a war criminal. That's some pretty grave stuff, but Fox won't have to handle the dramatic load alone. THR is reporting that veteran actor Tommy Lee Jones has now signed on to the project to portray General MacArthur. Emperor producer Gary Foster says of the choice, "Tommy will bring strength, intelligence and gravitas to the portrayal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, a legendary American hero." Gravitas is a good word to use there. Jones is one of those actors that just lends a certain weight to every role he takes, no matter how ridiculous the movie around him might be. I'm sure his familiar presence will add quite a bit to this historical drama. Hell, at this point he's practically a legendary […]
Will Smith and Josh Brolin Do Their Best Tommy Lee Jones Impressions for 'Men In Black 3′ Trailer
Movie News By Scott Beggs on December 12, 2011 | Comments (1)Despite not coming with a cool rap video, the new teaser trailer for Men in Black III does everything right. It opens with the familiar faces of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith doing what they did in the previous movies, then quickly shifts to the high concept problem (and solution) of a missing K (and a trip through time that randomly involves a Hollywood-style stunt to work. Then again, jumping off buildings is all the rage these days. As a bonus, both Smith and new co-star Josh Brolin get to deliver a bright ray of sunshine known as the Tommy Lee Jones Signature Smile.

Junkfood Cinema: 'U.S. Marshals' Puts a Gun to Your Head

Comic-Con Interview: Rick Baker Discusses His First Monsters and The Way of the Business
Comic-Con By Jack Giroux on July 31, 2011 | Comments (2)This may shock some of you dear readers, but this year I decided to skip the Breaking Dawn panel and instead went with the Rick Baker retrospective panel. Getting to hear Baker talk at great length aside, it was a fun surprise getting to see his work for Men in Black III because of how exciting the glimpses were. The retro aliens that Baker designed looked fantastic. Whether the movie works or not, his contributions will be more memorable entries in his speaks-for-itself body of work. We all know the current buzz and rumors regarding MIB: III, but as Baker says below, its production is simply the way you make movies now. What's going on with that film isn't drastically different from most tent-pole releases, even the good ones. Before the retrospective panel, I got a few minutes to chat with the make-up effects guru on the matter. Here's what Rick Baker had to say about copying the greats as a kid, acting like a schoolboy with David Byrne, and the difficulty of working on modern blockbusters:

Other Pets at Cheyenne Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lilly, a Cheyenne American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Cheyenne, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Cheyenne.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cheyenne already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cheyenne breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cheyenne paves the way for another one to be saved.

The picnicker might have been ruminating about those untold fortunes as he sat looking into the rubble of the Glory Hole, perched at a vantage point just fifteen feet from an abandoned mine shaft. He probably didn't realize that active gold mines are considered much safer than inactive ones. "The ground just opened up," says a state mining official. The man and his lunch disappeared down the collapsing entrance shaft into the underground portion of the mine. It took days to recover the body.
The picnicker wasn't the first or the last visitor to be taken at the Glory Hole. The mine's founder, a Chicago dentist and entrepreneur named Dr. William Muchow, discovered as early as the 1930s that the Glory Hole could prove more profitable as a means of raising capital than as a working gold mine. Modern con men came to the same realization, including a fast-buck artist from California who ran a multimillion-dollar gold-bullion scam involving the Glory Hole and another mine in the early 1980s. Two local men were killed, their relatives believe, because they uncovered the hoax. Dropped down a 400-foot mine shaft, their bodies and their pickup truck weren't found for nine years.
Nobody knows exactly how much wealth was extracted from the Glory Hole--or how much gold may still be inside Quartz Hill. Postcards for sale in Central City say $200 million in gold was pulled from the pit before steady mining stopped in 1959. A historical sign on a road above town says $89 million in gold was produced by all the thousands of mines in Gilpin County. If historians can't sort such things out, it matters little to the miners, who tend to put more stock in hard rock than hard figures.
"There's more gold left in Gilpin County than was ever taken out," says Norman Blake, who owns 57 mines in the area. The former director of the state Division of Mines, Blake estimates that 90 percent of the gold discovered in the county is still underground. Don McCoy, a geologist hired by Glory Hole owner Colorado Chain O' Mines, Inc., values the mine's existing ore reserves at $5.3 billion. Others scoff at that figure. "All sorts of figures have been put out about that mine over a lot of years," laughs Van Cullar, a geologist and former Gilpin County commissioner who lives in Black Hawk.
But gold mining is a business where men will crush and sort through two tons of rock to get an ounce of metal--and consider themselves lucky. There has always been a tolerance for dross, whether in the mining or in the figuring. As Harvard geology professor Hugh McKinstry wrote in his 1948 tome on mining geology, "Ore reserves consist chiefly of hopes."
The hopes of three men are now tangled up in a convoluted legal battle for control of the Glory Hole and more than 100 other Chain O' Mines properties in and around Central City. Harold Caldwell, 74, claims to be trustee for the land, mines and milling equipment mothballed by Muchow when price controls and inflation made gold mining unprofitable. Robert Barnes, also 74 and a judge in Texas, wants to put the Glory Hole and other mines on the auction block to satisfy an $18.5 million judgment he won against Caldwell following what he describes as a Texas land scam pulled by Caldwell. Caught in the middle is 32-year-old Scott Hobbs, a handyman at a Fedco store in Southern California who says an auction will steal his family's inheritance--a stake in Chain O' Mines passed on to him and his relatives by his great aunt, Nettie MacDougall, one of the company's ten original investors.
"We've got judges lying, lawyers lying and other people lying," says Hobbs, who lives in Newport Beach. "You expect something like this in the Old West, but not in 1994."
Hobbs has allied himself with Caldwell in the dispute. But last year a Colorado district judge called Caldwell's purported trusteeship "a classic textbook case of fraud." Judge Kenneth Barnhill of the Jefferson and Gilpin County combined courts ruled that Caldwell is not a trustee at all but the actual owner of the properties. Because of that, Barnhill ruled, the Glory Hole and other properties must be auctioned off to pay Robert Barnes. But that sale will now have to wait until a personal bankruptcy filed by Caldwell in California this fall is resolved.
Meanwhile, Hobbs has filed a complaint with the Texas Judicial Conduct Commission against the Hidalgo County judge whose judgment against Caldwell included $10 million in punitive damages on a debt that was originally $1.25 million. The judge should have recused himself from the case, says Hobbs, because for years he has known Barnes, who, as a visiting state district judge, routinely works in the same courthouse. "It's so damn crooked," Hobbs complains of the situation.

During Oregon baseball season, our sports staff will discuss various topics surrounding an upcoming series. Today, Emerald digital sports editor Victor Flores and sports reporters Madison Guernsey and Andrew Bantly discuss Oregon's last five games and preview the weekend series against between the Ducks (34-14, 13-8 Pac-12) and Arizona State (24-20, 12-9 Pac-12).
1) How would you grade Oregon's performance in the five games since being swept by Oregon State (and learning Matt Krook would be lost for the year)?
Flores — Oregon's grade is a B since the Oregon State sweep. Going 4-1 with the one loss coming in 12 innings to the Beavers. The Ducks responded well in their first game against Arizona after starting off shaky, they had an amazing comeback in the second game and held off the Wildcats in a tight game three. The one issue with these past five games is that every contest has been close, and only one of those games came against a top-tier opponent. So Oregon gets points taken off for that, but their power surge and late-game execution have been bright spots.
Guernsey — Since the announcement was made that Krook would miss the season, Oregon's grade is a C. The Ducks swept Arizona, as expected, but dropped all four against Oregon State. The final scores have been close, but Oregon really needed to assert themselves as a legitimate top-tier team and failed to do so. Perhaps they would have with Krook, but to have won without him would have made a much louder statement.
Bantly — I'm going to give them a B+. Oregon's lone loss came to Oregon State in extra innings. Besides being at home and against their rivals, Oregon really shouldn't think much of that loss — it didn't even count as a conference game. But the bounce-back sweep of Arizona was huge. Each game, I think, woke up different aspects of Oregon's game that might have been quieted in Corvallis.
2) Did Brando Tessar seal the Sunday starter slot with his last performance or does Trent Paddon (or someone else) still have a shot?
Flores — I don't see how he couldn't be. In Tessar's 22.1-inning scoreless streak, he has struck out 20 and walked four. Each of his three starts in that span went exactly 7.0 innings. It doesn't matter how poor his competition has been; only fellow weekend starters Tommy Thorpe and Jeff Gold have shown this level of effectiveness and longevity. He should and will be the third starter in Oregon's next three series and playoffs.
Guernsey — Tessar locked it up. He's thrown 22.1 straight scoreless innings. The Ducks are 6-0 in games he's started. He further validated himself against Arizona, the first Pac-12 team he started against, when he tossed seven scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 2.13. Tessar has the experience and his confidence is growing with every strong start.
Bantly — Of course. Tessar was masterful on Sunday and dominated the Wildcats. The Ducks don't need Tessar to pitch shutouts every outing, they just need him to be good enough to win. His start on Sunday showed that, if he can throw seven shutout innings against Arizona, he can compete with the rest of the Pac-12.
3) How impressed have you been with Shaun Chase?
Flores — George Horton said he and the coaching staff don't like to call Chase by his nickname "Whammer" because it doesn't give him credit for his progression as a hitter. Horton wasn't just being nice. Chase has been unbelievable this season, with a batting average (.318) that leaves him behind just one Duck— Mitchell Tolman. His "Whammer" characteristics haven't disappeared, either, as he leads the Pac-12 in home runs (8). He's also handled the pitching staff well. Not many catchers can do everything Chase does so effectively.
Guernsey — As impressed as I would be if a mediocre catcher developed into a team leader and feared hitter. Shaun Chase's progression is unparalleled, and not just as a hitter. Horton constantly raves about his rapport with the pitching staff. But speaking of Chase's hitting, he had a career average of .194 before this season and had twice as many strikeouts as hits. This year, Chase has gotten hotter as the season has worn on and is now Oregon's most reliable hitter. His slugging percentage is an absurd .670.
Bantly — The past couple of seasons, the catching position has been up in the air. Last year Chase shared time with Josh Graham and this year Jack Kruger was added to the mix. But unlike last year, someone actually stepped up like Horton wanted. What's so impressive is the way Chase has taken control of the starting job. He doesn't have to hit .318 with 8 home runs and 20 RBIs to be the starting catcher, but he is. And now Horton can't take him out of the lineup. This kind of production from a "defensive position" is massive. Not to mention, he has been solid defensively.
4) Who will win this weekend's series between the Ducks and Arizona State?
Flores — Oregon will play another tight series and win two out of three. Arizona State is 24-20 overall and 12-10 in Pac-12 play, so they haven't acquitted themselves as an overall good team like the Ducks, who are only a game and a half up on the Sun Devils in the Pac-12 standings. Although Oregon has played tight games over the past week, almost every area has performed well. Expect that to continue this weekend.
Guernsey — Oregon wins two out of three. This is a huge series in terms of Pac-12 standings, and the Ducks will be up for the challenge after a disappointing loss at home to Oregon State. Oregon's bullpen will have had a chance to rest and starting shortstop Mark Karaviotis should be healthy. The Ducks have more talent than the Sun Devils, but ASU will steal one away this weekend.
Bantly — Arizona State isn't playing exceptionally well at Packard Stadium this season (13-10). I don't see Oregon leaving Tempe without a couple wins at least. The Ducks' pitching will lead them in this series because once they get a lead they will, likely, be able to maintain it. ASU isn't a great pitching team so runs shouldn't be difficult to come by and add to for the Ducks.

Sarah KrauseAccording to a recent Nielsen news report, women control the purse strings. Apparently, we ladies like to handle the bulk of the buying – to the tune of $5 trillion to $15 trillion a year in the U.S.
Uh, is this supposed to be new information?
Everyone knows women love to shop, yes? But the stat that stood out in the report was this: women are predicted to control two-thirds of the consumer wealth in the U.S. within the next decade.
I wondered what my Gen X Mom friends had to say about that, specifically when it came to shopping for goods at grocery stores and bulk outlets. National Editor Tom Karst posed these gender gems: How do you divide grocery shopping duties with your husband? Do you split duties or handle it all yourself? And my favorite: What is good and bad about letting your partner do the shopping?
Don't get me started on that last one.
The Nielsen report went on to say that while men don't spend quite as much as their female counterparts on said shopping trips, men are indeed shopping more.
Among my mom friends who handle the majority of meals in their households, most preferred to shop for grocery items on their own, sans hubby. This fact flips itself 360 when dad is the chef in the family. But more on that later.
My friend Mindy W. said her hubby (for the record, an adorably sweet and fully capable dad) needs plenty of instruction before venturing out to the grocery store.
"When I send him on his own…," she said, shaking her head, her voice trailing off. "He needs a map, almost, of the store, or a docent to maneuver through. Inevitably, he comes back with something wrong – like the wrong size or a wrong brand."
Been there, argued that. Sometimes I think my (equally adorably sweet) husband goofs up on purpose to get out of future shopping trips. When I ask his thoughts, he admits to being a lazy shopper and an impulse shopper, and he quickly and sweetly adds: "I like that you plan out what we need, look for coupons or deals, and then buy only what we need."
My friend Chris says she and her husband Doug do not divide duties. "He only goes (to the store) when I am too busy with other stuff, maybe once every four months," she said. "He is good at doing it if I make a very complete list."
And when he abandons the list? "He's not intuitively good at straying from the list or understanding what may be coming up (on the calendar) to see any needs before they arise."

Discussion focused on addressing education, housing, and economic development on Indian lands
Washington, D.C. – Fulfilling the United States' trust responsibilities to tribal nations, educating Indian students, and enacting legislation that builds more prosperous Indian communities were the topics of a forum attended yesterday by 18 American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian leaders from across the country at the invitation of the Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee (DSOC). U.S. Senator Mark Begich (D-AK), Chair of the DSOC and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Chairwoman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, hosted the meeting.
Today's meeting was a great opportunity to discuss ways we can strengthen economic opportunity in Indian Country," said Sen. Begich. "It was an honor to be joined by so many great Tribal Leaders, including a Native Alaskan. American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians must have a strong voice in shaping the policies that affect their communities, and I'm looking forward to highlighting some great ideas I heard here today on education, access to health in rural communities, and job-training as a member of the Indian Affairs Committee."
Senate Democrats stressed their commitment to providing more economic opportunity for Native Americans, ensuring more adequate access to health care, and highlighted the provisions of the recently reauthorized Violence Against Women Act that help protect victims of domestic violence in Indian Country.

The Continuously Ergonomic Race Vehicle (CERV) is a specially designed bicycle that can be used on just about any terrain. Although that would be enough of a selling point for some, the true genius behind this concept is that it adapts to its environment instantaneously, allowing a cyclist to travel various terrains without worry on a single ride.
Essentially, the Continuously Ergonomic Race Vehicle shapeshifts to suit different road conditions on whim. By adopting a radical bike layout, it does away with a traditional fork steering the front wheel to allow seat and handlebar movement. By doing so, it maintains the rider's posture when going uphill, downhill and more.
The Continuously Ergonomic Race Vehicle was conceived by Priority Designs in California for Cannondale and presented during the EuroBike 2012 show in Germany.

The Obama Administration has made historic investments in rural America to promote economic development and job creation. Through the White House Rural Council, chaired by Secretary Vilsack, the Obama Administration has focused on increasing access to capital, job creation, and workforce development in rural America. - Border Capital Community Initiative: Memorandum of Understanding - Colonias regulation Press: • The Monitor • Borderzine • KVEO 23 • Valley Central • Youtube • RUS Cultural Transformation Newsletter • USDA Blog: Colonias Receive Support from USDA Rural Development
On June 14, 2012 the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Rural Development in partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) announced a joint Border Capital Community Initiative (Border Initiative). The Border Initiative is a critical economic development tool of the White House Rural Council. The Border Capital Community Initiative is designed to strengthen public private partnerships and promote economic development in Colonia communities located in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas.
On July 24, 2012, USDA Rural Development issued updated rules for the Section 306C Water and Waste Disposal Loans and Grants program. The change will ensure that critical federal loans and grants programs are better targeted to residents in Colonia communities who have not yet benefited from access to water and waste services.
USDA Rural Development's Colonia regulation will further the goals and objectives set out by the White House Rural Council by modifying the priority points system within the regulation to give additional priority to colonias that are un-served and that are facing significant health risks. Rural Development has provided more than $105.7 million since 2009 in water and waste disposal infrastructure projects in colonias.
Over the past four years, USDA Rural Development has invested more than $1.2 billion dollars in the Southwest border region – financing a range of programs from clinics and hospitals to water and waste water systems, from state-of the art energy saving photo voltaic solar systems to child care centers; from local rural businesses to food banks.
Investments in the Southwent border Include:
The Obama Administration is committed to investing in Colonias. For more information please refer to: www.rurdev.usda.gov

I'm having trouble understanding this... (this is for shooting, not freethrows)... I mean, if I'm using real player fg%, does that mean I can hold onto the ball and awkwardly shoot at the last possible moment and it is just as likely to go in as with a good release? And if I'm using shot stick timing, does that mean if I release perfectly with a poor shooter, they'll become a good shooter??
Or is it that both options are a mixture of the two, with the emphasis shifted a bit? I hope this is what it is!
Thanks, any help appreciated.

So hopefully TODAY, the countertops will be installed! Yay! They were supposed to come yesterday of course, but they were running late. So I get to leave work early again. Can't complain.. Now that we're in the homestretch, I'm thinking about putting stuff back. Just wondering what you all did, whether you lined your drawers and cabinets or didn't. They look so pretty(!) without, but I don't want to ruin them over time. And I have to figure out how to post pictures so I can get mine on here! :-) |

I have the foamy stuff in my glass drawer and my plate drawer. Other drawers have the IKEA liner, which is plastic. |
Definitely use the liner! Totally know how you feel about 'covering up' the beautiful new wood, but have absolutely NO regrets about using LifeLiner clear ribbed plastic liner. Only wish I had bit the bullet (I think it is expensive), and put it into MORE cupboards. Our kitchen is about 5 years old now, and DH just noticed wood showing some damage where we store our glasses. Must be from water still on them when we take them out of DW. Will need to go buy some liner and put it in there. I have it under sink and when I lift it during occasional cleaning, wood is like brand new. So many yucky things stored under sink, eg compost pail, cleaners, etc. What's nice about the clear, is that you still see the wood. |

No, no, and never. I'll link a thread from a few months ago about lining drawers. This thread contains links to other threads as the subject comes up regularly. Personally, I don't understand the concept of putting stuff down in new, sealed drawers for protection. After 15 months, my drawer and shelf interiors look perfect. No scratches or anything else that could have been avoided if I had lined my drawers/shelves. |

I like the lined stuff, too. Especially where we keep food and spices because it is so easy to remove and clean (it isn't stuck to the bottom like our mama's contact paper). So jealous you get to start unpacking! |
I lined my cabinet shelves and drawers with vinyl floor tile. It helps lighten the interior of the cabinets, is easy to clean, and I can put the dishes when they are still slightly wet without worrying about damage to the shelves. |
Yes. My mother would turn over in her grave if I didn't. I still have the ivy pattern Contact paper in my drawers and blind (sad, I know) corners. It refuses to come off and still wipes down nicely. I got some of that ridged stuff from BB&B on my new shelves. I also line the tops of my upper cabs with paper towels, since tragically they do not go to the ceiling. It's okay, Mom, I'm still lining my shelves. |
I lined mine with cork. I bought a giant roll of cork underlayment because it looked nice and was inexpensive. I did it mainly to keep things from shifting on my dish drawers and other large drawers. I suppose it is slightly easier to clean, but I really don't think that lining is necessary or makes a huge difference. If you don't want to, then don't do it. Wait until you "ruin" the drawers and then line--you'll get the best of both worlds. |
I'm with Breezy on this one. Nothing lining my shelves or drawers. The wood interiors are beautiful and easy to clean. |
Is this "life liner" stuff only at BBB? I have never heard of it. How expensive is it? |
I bought the cheap stuff at the dollar store. I just lined the cabinet under the sink, the shelf that hold mugs and everyday glasses and the shelf where oil is stored. I double lined that one. |
Exciting for you Momand3boys! We recently made the same decision and went with liners in many places, especially all the new pullouts. We opted for the lovingly named "Plast-o-Mat." Despite the cheesy name it is made in USA and does not contain vinyl, which is something I'd like to avoid in our living spaces. It comes in many sizes and our local Ace Hardware had it in stock. It's got ribs which is nice for wet things fresh out of the dishwasher. Looking forward to your pictures! |
Here is a link that might be useful: plast o' mat at Amazon
I have used liners in old nasty cabinets so my stuff doesn't "touch" the cabinets. When we remodeled the kitchen in our last house, the cabinet interiors were beautiful cherry veneers to match the exteriors. It never occurred to me to use liners to cover up that beautiful wood. After 5 years of use, we had no damage before we moved out. Of course, I dry my dishes before I put them away. Before GW, I never knew people put liners in nice cabinets. |
- Posted by fav.auntx2 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 6, 13 at 19:11
I would only use it in spaces that obviously get a lot of potential water or chemicals, such as under the sink (cleaning supplies) and possibly if you put dishes up wet (who does that?) That little oversight got you in a heap of trouble in my childhood home! And every other home I was in for that matter friends, etc. Most of the liner I have seen eventually wears at the wood in its own wear pattern. I feel the only use for shelf liner is when you are renting an apartment and have no idea what was there before you. Made the kitchen feel cleaner to me. But in my own home? No use for that stuff. I don't put dishes up wet and cleaning supplies go in a bucket/tray/box. It's easier to lift everything up at once, one time than ten bend-overs. Nothing is scraped excessively across any shelf, because honestly, that's just lazy lol And I gotta tell you, that vinyl floor stick stuff inside the cabinet is the second reason my kitchen got a total renovation. Impossible to get out, covers the beautiful wood underneath and completely ruined the wood. Nothing, I mean nothing gets that sticky crap off. It's so terrible, the laundry room will have it there forever until I have new cabinets in there too. |
No one's mentioned Cushy Cupboards yet? It's exceptionally thick closed-cell foam. It's not cheap, and seems to be just sold by a handful of stores. I was skeptical but a member from here sent me a sample to try (which I'll do for you if you're interested; please contact me offlist) and I must say it is good. I didn't use it everywhere, but the places I did not I wish I had. There are many drawers I have no liner in at all, namely shallow drawers holding utensils or knives. Where I find the padding/protection invaluable is in the drawers that hold cast iron. Those pots are so heavy and also can be gunky too, that the protection on the floor of the cabinet is really helpful. It's helpful, even, to have a bit of a depressed template where the heavy pot is to go too! I love it there. For a glasses/dishes drawer, the most heavily-used one, I used ribbed plastic liner from costco; I thought it would be good for allowing glasses to dry. Actually, I'm finding it not terribly good at drying upside down glasses, and it's a pia because it slips around. It's a little bit clear which I thought would be good as far as not losing all that beautiful brand new cabinetry. But I was wrong. It's too cloudy to ake a difference. Covered is covered. Basically, my opinion a year out is, either nothing or the good stuff. I'm *sure* you can find an equivalent to the Cushy Cupboards for cheaper by just buying commercial closed cell, but I'm not certain of the specifications, etc. As well, the Cushy Cupboard rolls go a very long way - I bought two large ones and still have one left. There's a store in Michigan I think? a hardware store with occasional sales on the stuff. And several in Orange County, CA. My theory is it's peddled by some retiree who lives close to this little cluster of hardware stores in OC and, dunno, his bil is in Michigan or wherever that other small set of stores is? It's quite odd as a commercial enterprise... I like the stuff and it's super easy to cut. It's thick so in a shallow drawer you might not want to devote depth to this (I think it's about 1/4"). But if you really need it for protection, it's really effective. As noted by others, I have found, oddly enough, that nothing really slides about in drawers, not dishes, fine china, even knives and the like ... partitions can allow you to stack utensils several items deep, but if things are just sitting more or less single-layered, they just don't shift around. This is so surprising! But it seems to be a fairly universal experience. I wonder why we all expect so much shifting? I can't seem to figure out where that expectation of mine originated either. Maybe ... I bet it's the soft close drawers that slow down the closing at the last moment. Without that I bet contents do experience inertia or centripetal force or whatever it is, and shift when the drawer comes to a rapid stop? |

I used oil cloth in the drawers(it's cheerful) and the ribbed plastic liner(BB&B). I like that the glasses and dishes slide easily over it when you are putting them away. I didn't want turmeric/cayenne(I use a lot of turmeric)to stain the white interiors. I considered cushy cupboards but decided not to bother ordering it since it needs to be to shipped to an Ace hardware store for pick up. It would have been a hassle to get to Ace. Marti8-To clarify since another poster commented about tiles sticking to the shelves, the floor tiles are not stuck to the shelves, just placed on top, right ? |
While I did not start this thread I certainly read it and found everyone's input helpful. I have interiors to my cabinets that are painted. If they were natural or stained wood I think I might be less likely to line but white is less forgiving. That being said I purchased some comfy cupboards liner. I plan to use it in my dish/glassware cabinets and my pots and pans cabinets/ drawers. I will probably go with something like the clear plastic liner for under the sink since I often find I get rust rings and other cleaner drips/rings where I store cleaning supplies. Drawers with placemats, dish towels, junk pot holders will not be lined. Thanks for all the great ideas! |
In 2008 I painted some cabinets given to me. Glasses & plates go there. Two coats of primer (then, Kilz) and 2 coats of interior, white, latex enamel. To this day when I go to pick up an item, it's tuck. The shelf looks fine, but things ... stick. Ick. On the shelves that are laminate, either particle board or laminated plywood, the finishes are perfect. I've washed and washed and stacked and stored, and they're fine. Keeping in mind some of them could be years old and I just don't know it. In my drawers I don't use anything. Dividers, I guess, that keep things from sliding around. I have lazy Susans in my cabinets where oil, tumeric (I thought I was the only one!), cinnamon, etc., sit on those. If I used cast iron, the way rust happens, I'd line. So.. |
I lined mine with marmoleum scraps. It works really well. |

Agree that lining with marmoleum scraps on the drawers with heavy pots and the cupboard under the sink with cleaning supplies is best. We left most shelves bare figuring that we can cover them later if they look too scratched up. Did not want to add outgassing from plastic stuff to the air in our home. |

I used the Cushy Cupboards and I love it. It lays flat and doesn't bunch in drawers. I got it on sale. |
I also used the ribbed Lifeliner. I wanted something that would be easy to cut and wouldn't leave marks on my nice new wood shelves and drawers (some of the other liners I have used have done that to some other wood items I have.) Maybe I'm old fashioned, but lining the shelves/drawers is something my Mom ingrained into me. Just like lining dresser drawers...it's impossible to find paper for that anymore. |
I'm surprised no one has said this yet: I like opening my cabinets and seeing a bright splash of pretty color. In my upper cabinets, my shelf paper goes up the back so I have more color! |
Wow, I am flabbergasted at the number of people who line the cupboards. So surprising to me. I don't line mine, never considered it, never have, never will, it sounds way too much like work. There's just no risk/reward to lining cabinets, at least that I can see. My interiors are stained wood, not sure if that makes a difference. |

Taggie--it doesn't make a difference. My cabs are painted, but interiors are sealed and I feel exactly as you do. Usually there are more members that speak up for not lining than on this thread. |

P.ball2 - my DH's aunt gave me a roll of the Lifeliner, she said it costs $14.99 for a roll of 24in X 10ft. She gave me some coupons for BBB, so not so bad. So far I have decided to line the drawer of chips/bread and under the sink. I also use it for the bathroom vanity drawers and under the sink. I'm not sure I want to use it for glasses and plates yet. But unfortunately I'm the type that doesn't have the patience to make sure everything is dry first! |
Here's a liner "horror" story for the TKO crowd: For our last house, I bought a couple rolls of nice liner for our bathroom cabinets to protect the wood from any leaks or spills from all of the bottles and jars of toiletries. I planned to template the drawers and carefully cut the liner to fit each space, but I didn't get to it fast enough. My visiting MIL decided to help while I was at work one day. Unfortunately, she prefers speed to precision. I came home to drawers lined with hacked up pieces of liner with few straight cuts in sight. Given my OCD tendencies, it was difficult to look at every time I opened a drawer. I assume GW members who use liner cut it a bit more carefully, lol. |

* Gasp!! * LOL. Honestly that would drive me crazy. I would have to re-do them. |
- Posted by carsonheim (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 13 at 20:59
kaysd -- eek! Why on earth would she be meddling with your cabinets. I, too, would need to redo them! |
None of my shelves are lined except the 2 roll outs for pots and pans. The grill pan and cast iron pans are rough on the bottom and I didn't want those drawers scratched. As a temporary liner I cut perfectly fitting cardboard from the boxes the cabinets were in. I like it so much I've never changed it. Works great. |
I never thought of not lining cabinets, I bought some at BB which looks goes well with kitchen, then bought a roll from Costco for under sink, pot/pans, and a few others areas, s had so much left over put new in bathrooms, and did a my night table drawers too. |

Rep. Sherry Appleton from the 23rd district in Washington State pre-filed House Bill 1012 on Dec. 5th of last year to do away with the state's Stand Your Ground law.
The Stand Your Ground law state's that a person may justifiably use force in self-defense when there is reasonable belief of an unlawful threat, without an obligation to retreat first. This law is most notably seen when one is defending their home or property.
Opponents of Stand Your Ground believe it gives too much leeway and will lead to unnecessary violence. Supporters state that defending one's self is a birth right and laws prohibiting so only cause more damage to law abiding citizens. They also point to studies showing that guns are used in defense of crime three-to-four times more often than they're used in the commission of a crime.

[75] Quantitative Analysis of Carboxypeptidase M mRNA Expression in Lipomas and Liposarcomas
MR Erickson-Johnson, AR Seys, CW Roth, X Wang, YW Asmann, H Zhang, RV Lloyd, AL Folpe, AM Oliveira. Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Background: Well-differentiated liposarcomas/atypical lipomatous tumors (WDL/ALT) are cytogenetically characterized by ring and giant rod chromosomes. These abnormal chromosomes contain several amplified genes including MDM2, CPM, CDK4, TSPAN31, and others. As part of a large genomic study of lipomatous neoplasms, we initially found Carboxypeptidase M (CPM) to be consistently amplified in well-differentiated liposarcoma/atypical lipomatous tumors but not in lipomas (Modern Pathol 2009). In this study we evaluated and compared CPM mRNA expression levels in these groups of tumors.
Design: Relative quantification of MDM2 and CPM were performed by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) in 9 WDL/ALT, 3 dedifferentiated (DD) liposarcomas, 1 pleomorphic sarcoma, 2 lipomas, and 2 normal adipose tissues. All analyses were performed in triplicate using UPL probes and a Light Cycler® 480 System (Roche, Mannheim Germany). Based on PCR efficiencies for both CPM and MDM2, using LC 480 1.5 software, relative differences between genes were determined using a standard curve generated from samples with perfect PCR efficiency. Concentrations of each sample were calculated from Cp values, and concentration of the target genes were divided by the concentration of the reference gene (PGK), thus providing the ratio. Fold induction of transcription of MDM2 and CPM were estimated by comparing to the values of PGK. Comparative and correlative expression analyses were performed using non-parametric methods.
Results: qRT-PCR showed that CPM mRNA expression levels were higher in WDL/ALT and DD liposarcomas (CPM medians 5.55 and 6.41, respectively) than in lipomas or normal fat (CPM medians 1.26 and 2.11, respectively) (p=0.005). Similar results were found with MDM2 mRNA for WDL/ALT and DD liposarcomas (MDM2 medians 8.32 and 24.47, respectively) and lipomas or normal fat (MDM2 medians 1.23 and 1.16, respectively) (p=0.001). CPM and MDM2 mRNA expression levels in pleomorphic liposarcoma were low (1.01 and 0.11, respectively). CPM mRNA expression levels were moderately correlated with MDM2 mRNA expression (r=0.61; p=0.007).
Conclusions: Similar to MDM2, CPM is transcriptionally upregulated in WDL/ALT and DD liposarcoma but not in lipomas, normal adipose tissue, and in a single example of pleomorphic liposarcoma. These results suggest a functional role of CPM in the biology of WDL/ALT and DD liposarcoma and further validate its value as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of these tumors.

Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP, Representing Investors Who Purchased Addus HomeCare Corporation, Announces Class Action Lawsuit And Seeks To Recover Losses
Notice is hereby given that Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Addus HomeCare Corporation ("Addus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ADUS) common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement and Prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with the Company's October 27, 2009, initial public offering (the "IPO").
A copy of the Complaint is available from the court or from Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP. Please contact us by phone to discuss this action or to obtain a copy of the Complaint at (310) 201-9150 or Toll Free at (888) 773-9224, by email at email@example.com, or visit our website at http://www.glancylaw.com.
The Complaint charges Addus and certain of the Company's executive officers and/or directors, among others, with violations of federal securities laws. Addus provides a broad range of social and medical services in the home, including personal care and assistance with daily living activities, skilled nursing and rehabilitative therapies and adult day care to individuals with special needs who are at risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill and disabled. The Complaint alleges that the Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and/or omitted facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading, including the following: (1) that the Company's accounts receivable included at least $1.5 million in aging receivables that should have been reserved for; and (2) that the Company's Home Health revenues were falling short of internal forecasts due to a slowdown in admissions from the Company's Integrated Services program due to the State of Illinois' effort to develop new procedures for integrating care.
On March 18, 2010, after the market closed, the Company reported its financial results for the 2009 fiscal fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2009, and reported a net loss of $3.7 million, or a loss of $0.48 per share for the fourth quarter. The Company indicated that Addus had to increase its bad debt reserve levels by $1.5 million, and that during the fourth quarter the Company's Home Health revenues were short of internal forecasts due to a slowdown in admissions from the Company's Integrated Services program due to the State of Illinois' effort to develop new procedures for integrating care.

Should I leave it? I never heard of it before but it shows up as 1st on my Task Manager. It was trying to get in my start-up. Thanks Zep, |
LightShots by Skillbrains is a screen capture program that I have used for ... quite a while. It recently updated, so winpatrol would show it adding to start up with a version update. There also seem to be versions specific to browser make as plug ins .. in addition to the one windows does it all version. I just downloaded the standard does it all version awhile ago after hearing someone say it compromised their computer... and scanned it Malwarebytes & MSE. Uninstalled mine ./ Reinstalled it.... Then scanned my computer. Checks out safe for the regular version. Push your print screek key ?? it should give you an area drag box. |
Please see my posts regarding Skillbrains, etc. on the thread regarding saving shots from Power Point shows. I am wondering if the thread posted several days ago regarding bots from Russian websites has any relation to what happened to me. |
Thanks for the info. I tried pushing Print Screen and nothing came up. Regular Print Screen works fine, I don't notice anything different. I found it in add/remove and took it out. Thanks for the help, |
Wow, I just installed it and it works perfectly. When I press the Print Screen key a small dialog box appears beside my cursor with the words 'select area' and allows me to choose the area of the screen that you want to capture. I like it much more than Snagit. |

text: Assistant Professor Molecular BiologyMicrobiology TranslationGene Expression Regulation Office: Shelby Center Room 369LPhone: 256.824.6261Email: email@example.com Lab webpage Research Description My lab is interested in understanding how cellular products modulate the function of ribosomes, the molecular machines that carry out protein production, to influence gene expression, cellular metabolism and phenotypic plasticity in bacterial cells. Cellular protein production can be controlled by diverse mechanisms since a substantial number of factors and events are involved during this process. Despite the diversity, the regulation of protein production keeps two common and essential characteristics: 1) the nature of the synthesized protein plays an important role in the modulation of the function of the ribosome; and 2) inhibition, or delay, in the ribosome function leads to the accumulation of intermediary products of the protein production, named peptidyl-tRNAs. The objective of our research is to identify genes which expression depends in the regulation of the ribosome function by detecting peptidyl-tRNAs expressed under relevant cell growth conditions. Also, determine the molecular mechanism(s) responsible for regulation of the ribosome function by cellular products. We expect to produce a gene-expression profiling technology to analyze in vivo the accumulation of peptidyl-tRNAs.

Not what I expected - didn't deliver what most high end BB cremes should deliver (on my face anyways). The choice of shades aren't great either - it seemed Shade 01 (the one I bought) is too light and Shade 02 is too dark. I'm fair-skinned and it's the end of the winter where I live, therefore my complexion is as pale as I get and this was too light on me - it washed me right out, in fact. The next shade up was much too dark, unfortunately. It went on alright, wasn't difficult to put on, but just did not look good at all.
I tried this as Clinique and Estee Lauder are sister companies and the place I went didn't carry Estee Lauder so I thought I would give this one a try. It's a little but cheaper than Estee Lauder's BB creme...I returned this product and will be purchasing Estee Lauder's BB creme again - I learned my lesson and will stick with EL from now on for BB cremes!
this bb cream has good coverage. unfortunetly what that coverage for me is a dull greyish tinted chalkiness. I expected way more from such an expensive product. it feels nice until it dries into an uneven film on my face. its a tinted moisturizer rather than bb. would make a good moisturizer too if the chalky tint was left out.
Excellent coverage. Not too sure if it's doing anything for my skin but I do like wearing it if I want my skin to breathe.
More reviews by beautyjunkie22
I'm impressed. This BB does what it says it will - smooths the look of my skin, and it covers quite well (would use some concealer on anything stubborn...). I also can't feel it once it's on, and I don't have to wait for it to dry and set (like some other BB's I've tried).
My skin is olive/medium-toned, and I am using shade 2 (I believe there are only 3). It's perfect. It truly does not look like I'm wearing anything on my face - just looks like great skin ;)

Bondi Lions Generous Gift
Lions Clubs across Sydney have combined forces to raise vital funds for the redevelopment of the Sydney Children's Hospital Randwick Eye Clinic.
This generous contribution was acknowledged recently when Bondi Lions Club members visited the Hospital for a tour of the Eye Clinic. Bondi Lions Club raised funds to purchase a Portable Slit Lamp and Pulsair Tonometer for the clinic; equipment that helps make the examination of children's eyes a lot easier.
Dr Ian Kennedy, Paediatric Ophthalmologist at Sydney Children's Hospital said, 'support from the Lions Club has been fantastic. They are a keen group of individuals who are genuinely committed to helping the Hospital.'
Since the campaign began in October 2002, Lions Clubs in the Sydney district have donated over $350,000 in funds for opthamology equipment for the Eye Clinic. More than $2.5 million is needed to develop the new, fully equipped eye clinic.
Children from all over New South Wales come to this facility for treatment of multiple complex eye conditions caused by trauma, abuse and general disease. Hundreds of seriously ill children are treated every year, many of them only babies.
As a leader in child health, Sydney Children's Hospital Randwick has a full range of specialist services which treat children with many conditions including cancer, trauma, HIV/AIDS, congenital abnormalities, rehabilitation, heart disease and respiratory disorders.
The Lions Club of Bondi was chartered in 1956 and has four charter members still active.
Lions Clubs international is the largest service organisation in the world with 1.4 million members.
"We raise funds through various means – bucket collections, raffles, selling Lions Mints, Christmas cakes and the very successful annual children's Magic Show," said Bondi Lions Club President David Levy.
