Christopher McQuarrie - Jack Reacher Q&A

2 comments:
In early 1999, I was working in Bellevue, Washington as a shuttle driver for a Volvo dealership. One morning, I was asked to drive a customer, with his dog, to the airport.
Along the 45-minute drive, I revealed during small talk that I was an amateur writer. My passenger told me he was a screenwriter. I didn't ask any details, but we proceeded to talk about the craft of writing.
He gave me lots of friendly advice, including to "find a group of writers to level the most devastating criticism they can give to samples of your writing, like they do at Sundance, because of what you'll learn from it."
He was helpful, unassuming, unpretentious, polite, and spoke to me as an equal (despite the fact that he was clearly moneyed), which was rare among our Volvo dealership's wealthy & snobbish clientele.
Among other things, he mentioned that he was working on a screenplay for "Alexander The Great" at the time. ("Oh brother, what a bad idea," I thought to myself).
He never mentioned his name except "Chris".
After I'd dropped him off, I looked up his name (which I didn't recognize) from my passenger assignment manifest:
Oh, THAT Chris McQuarrie.

@Oceana - That is really terrible what happened to your friend. I think that some people are just so shallow that they don't really understand what an amazing gesture he was making. I feel sorry for those that aren't able to grasp at the sincerity behind such a romantic gesture.
It sounds to me that the girl he liked was a bit too popular for her own good. Unfortunately this can be a lesson for those who fall for someone without really getting to know him or her first. Sometimes people seem pretty awesome on the outside, but they just don't live up to your expectations.

1032 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. Call 954-357-2606, or visit solitalasolas.com.
SoLita stands for "South of Little Italy," and the menu is full of traditional Italian favorites your grandmother might have made that were designed by chef Anthony Risoli, formerly of Café Martorano. The restaurant has taken over the former Mark's restaurant space and transformed it into three distinct parts: a romantic parlor lounge with cozy love seats and dim lighting, a wine bar filled with boisterous crowds weeknights, and, tucked behind white curtains, the dining room, where low-slung chandeliers, tufted sofas, and mirrors set a glitzy backdrop. At the top of the menu are meatballs with pomodoro sauce and fresh herbs, rigatoni with slow-braised pork and tomato sauce, and pan-seared snapper with faro and blood-orange vinaigrette.

Vivo Partenza
1450 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton. Call 561-750-2120 or visit vivobocaraton.com
Tona Bova — the man who allegedly left employees unpaid, recently filed for bankruptcy, foreclosed on his home, stiffed his landlord for more than $30,000 in unpaid rent, and partnered with Scott Rothstein — opened Vivo Partenza in June. That was less than a month after closing his last, no less. Vivo Partenza occupies the exact spot once occupied by his Bova Ristorante. All three Bova restaurants (including planned locations in the old Jackson's Steakhouse and Casa Casuarina in Miami Beach) went bye-bye after Rothstein's unraveling. The menu for Vivo is similar to the old Bova one as well, featuring classic Italian like penne al vodka and fettuccine Bolognese. Vivo Partenza also offers $10 lunch specials including a prime burger and meatball sliders. Happy hour features 50 percent off drinks and half off appetizers at the bar.
401 Northwood Road, West Palm Beach. Call 561-629-5377, or visit relishburger.com.
Relish in cozy, quaint Northwood Village is the ultimate mix-and-match burger joint. To start, diners must choose from 12 types of burgers: beef, all-white-meat turkey, tuna, mahi-mahi, crab, shrimp, black bean, mushroom, lamb, buffalo, veal, or lobster, all of which are freshly ground or made in-house each day. Next, add any number of Relish's 20-plus gourmet toppings. There are relatively normal offerings like lettuce slaw and drunken onions cooked in lager. And then there's the wacky stuff you would never have thought to put on a burger in a million years, like oven-roasted beets with fresh herbs or shaved asparagus with white wine and tarragon. The freedom of choice is mirrored on down the menu, from fries and onion rings (top them with your choice of six gourmet salts) to milk shakes (there are more than a dozen flavors) to cookies (six varieties with six dipping sauces).
Michelle Bernstein's at the Omphoy
2842 S. Ocean Blvd., Palm Beach. Call 561-540-6440, or visit omphoy.com.
Having made the trip to Palm Beach — a place awash with a different sort of sin — Miami's own Michelle Bernstein is at her most self-assured. The restaurant itself is secured on the third floor above a quiet lobby bar and terrace eatery, and everything within seems to mask dimension — backlighting, mirrors, and angles abound. The sum is a room with an amazing capacity for making you feel unseen, a place where you can drop your guard without care. Bernstein's menu has a mysterious effect too. It's divided into four sections — salads, crudos, starters, and mains — and much of what appears here is culled from her Miami restaurant, Michy's. Her creations are as whimsical as they are simple, like tuna carpaccio, consisting of three uniform slices of tuna, pink and thin as tissue paper, each dusted with foie gras "snow" and slivers of apple. Seafood is distilled to its basest components, like with salt-encrusted sea bream that glistens with the flavors of the ocean. Even comfort food, like Michy's famous fried chicken and slow-braised short ribs, are wildly impressive.
The Village at Gulfstream Park
501 S. Federal Highway, Hallandale Beach. Call 954-378-0920, or visit thevillageatgulfstreampark.com.
The Village at Gulfstream Park, a massive, billion-dollar outdoor shopping mall adjoined to the Gulfstream Race Track, has had some struggles in the summer heat. Authentic Italian eatery Tonino Lamborghini Caffe Corsa shut its doors, the mall's first closure, and several planned restaurants have pulled out. But the mall still has a dozen restaurants open, including: Cadillac Ranch, an American-style eatery with a mechanical bull; Caffe Martier, which features gourmet sandwiches and goodies; the Cheese Course, a bistro/shop with 100 varieties of cheeses; Jacob's Classic Market, a full-service specialty store and caterer; the Playwright Irish Pub, a pint purveyor exported from South Beach; III Forks, an elegant steak house; and Yard House, a chain beer and bistro pub. Lounge and tapas joint Bartini's is expected to open in October.
Wild Olives
5050 Town Center Circle, Ste. 245, Boca Raton. Call 561-544-8000, or visit wildolives.com.
A partnership with local restaurateurs Lirim Jacobi and Dixon Li, Todd English's Wild Olives in Boca Raton is one of four eateries the celebrity chef opened in the span of a year in South Florida. Although Wild Olives is not fine dining per se, the staff has seemingly been trained to act as stiff-backed as if they were waiting on King Louis at the Court of Versailles. Many of the appetizers are decidedly simple — like asparagus frites, composed of bread crumbs faintly clinging to tender stalks of the vegetable, then dressed conservatively with a coarse-ground honey mustard. A flatbread "pizza" with figs and prosciutto — one of English's trademark dishes — is an overload of flavors with Gorgonzola cheese, rosemary, and cooked ham. The bianca pizza with mild rapini and sweet caramelized onions is well-balanced, with a taut, flavorful crust to boot. The entrées come on huge white plates presented with loads of little embellishments of fried crisps and copious mounts of greenery. The pan-seared grouper comes with a load of green sauce made of sweet peas, an orange-y beurre blanc, chanterelle mushrooms, and lots of leafy greens. The bone-in, brown-sugar-cured rib eye comes underneath a mountain of wisps and curls and whorls.

Research could explain exercise-induced fatigue for people with neuromuscular conditions
A recent study published by Professor Campbell and his colleagues at the University of Iowa showed that in mouse models, a chemical substance called neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) causes, at least in part, the fatigue experienced by people with neuromuscular conditions after exercise. The findings of this research could open up a new opportunity to treat excessive fatigue associated with mild exercise in many neuromuscular conditions.
- What does this new research show?
- What does this mean for people with muscular dystrophy?
- Background information
- Further Information and links
What does this new research show?
The researchers observed that in several mouse models of muscular dystrophy, nNOS was absent from its normal location at the membrane of muscle cells. Absence or mislocalisation of nNOS at the muscle membranes prevents relaxation of blood vessels which supply the muscles with oxygen. This lack of oxygen in muscle cells, in turn, might be one of the reasons why the animals experience extreme fatigue after mild exercise.
The paper states that approximately 60 percent of people with neuromuscular conditions show severe fatigue. Consequently, the researchers analysed muscle biopsies of patients with different myopathic conditions. They found that in most biopsies the amount of nNOS present at the membrane was also reduced or completely absent, indicating that the fatigue in humans may be caused by the same biological mechanism as that in the mouse.
The results of this research suggest that targeting nNOS, and the signalling pathway that it is part of, might help to treat extreme muscle fatigue. This could be achieved by using drugs which work by preventing constriction of blood vessels, such as Sildenafil.
What does this mean for people with muscular dystrophy?
These are very promising findings that could form the basis for treating the prolonged fatigue which occurs in people with neuromuscular disorders. The results of the experiments, carried out in mice, suggest that a drug called Sildenafil, also known as Viagra, could be considered as a potential treatment. However, it is important to remember that benefits seen in animals do not always translate into human medicine.
Although research in this area is positive, it is still in its very early days and we look forward to further research that will demonstrate the impact it might have for people with neuromuscular disorders.
Background information
Prolonged muscle tiredness which occurs after mild exercise in people with various forms of neuromuscular conditions can be caused by lack of nNOS- a chemical substance at the muscle membrane. This substance when present in normal muscles triggers various forms of chemical reactions in the muscles which eventually lead to dilation of blood vessels in order to increase blood flow into exercising muscles.
Viagra increases blood flow by preventing the action of an enzyme called Phosphodiesterase (PDE) which breaks down another substance - cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Preventing the action of PDE causes relaxation of blood vessels which in turn leads to increased blood flow.

I am very worried about the number of voting people in this Country who are unable to discern cause and effect relationships between governmental policies and the quality of their lives. How much freedom do "We the People" have to lose before the majority realises who is best serving our interests? Thanks for continuing to rebut the lies and misrepresentations EVERY WEEK!

Re: Good question.
The question of political correctness is one that really needs to be addressed in this case, for two reasons.
First, not getting rid of a soldier who was off his rocker was a bad idea, in the easy realm of 20/20 hindsight. Not getting rid of him because it would look bad only makes it look worse now. Equality and political correctness aren't necessarily at odds, but in this case safety and political correctness were.
And second, it is looking more and more as if Major Hasan was subjected to very un-PC behavior by other soldiers around him. Scratching "Arab" into his car, calling him a "raghead" and other things should not have been tolerated, no matter how much it would be "politically correct" to suggest that those other soldiers should have not done that.
Was it a workplace shooting with terrorist undertones or a terrorist shooting with workplace undertones? I don't really give a damn, since the guy was clearly a bastard who deserves what justice will dole out to him. Maybe it's not a good idea to pick on someone's ethnicity and religion to the point where he snaps. If the stories about his treatment in the Army are true, this guy's story will contain some element of twisted righteousness to go along with his murderous insanity. No, that doesn't justify diddly squat. Nothing can justify what he did. But it shouldn't be ignored, either.

Why is political correctness even a consideration? Who the meep cares whether something is at odds with it?

Run that ball down the field? I'm not going to. There just isn't any real way that the victims deserved what happened, even if every single one of them was hanging Hasan in effigy, pissing in his coffee, scratching "Jesus Saves" into the hood of his car, and calling him every name in the book and doing almost everything in their power to make his life a living hell. There are better means to deal with issues than using a gun, as any and everyone knows. Still, the dude did snap. I can freely speculate on responsibility without taking anything away from Hasan's full culpability for what happened.
Hasan was, from what I've read, a nutjob sociopath, but even nutjob sociopath coworkers shouldn't be treated inhumanely. They should, however, lose their jobs if they can't do them according to workplace rules. The same goes for those who will be investigated into their conduct in the months leading up to this killing spree. Provided, of course, there was misbehavior. If it was a case where abusive behavior was continuing for a long time, there may or may not be paper trails and witnesses to that, and some people who should have fired Hasan and others will lose their positions of authority. That's just how things are, how things should be, and how things will be for as long as we give a crap about treating people equally. Supervisors should control their subordinates when they're out of line, and if they don't they don't get to keep their jobs. That's true where I work, in the military, and in most other places where workplace rules dictate that people don't treat each other like crap.

The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) has teamed up with Alabama officials to launch the state's new voluntary retail anti-smurfing campaign.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
WASHINGTON – The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) has teamed up with Alabama officials to launch the state's new voluntary retail anti-smurfing campaign.
Joining with Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange, Drug Task Force Leader Rob Savage and other leaders, CHPA said Monday that the initiative aims to educate potential "smurfers" — those who buy pseudoephedrine and sell the product to another to manufacture methamphetamine — about the consequences of making an illegal purchase.
According to CHPA, law enforcement recognizes that some criminals approach third parties to buy pseudoephedrine for them, in an attempt to circumvent the law. And even though some "meth cooks" may understand they can go to jail for their illegal behavior, people who purchase these medicines for others for payment may be unaware that their behavior can lead to prison time, the association noted.
The anti-smurfing effort is a public-private partnership that offers all Alabama pharmacies posters and tent cards to place at the retail counter. CHPA said it tested a range of anti-smurfing messages and posters, and the research affirmed that these materials successfully educate potential smurfers about the consequence of illegal purchases.
"CHPA is proud to partner with Attorney General Strange and other Alabama leaders in this important initiative," stated Scott Melville, CHPA president and chief executive officer. "CHPA is committed to helping law enforcement officials and retailers combat the illegal diversion of medicines with pseudoephedrine. While real-time, stop-sale technology helps law enforcement track smurfing behavior and make arrests, it is also important to inform potential smurfers that their unlawful actions have severe consequences."

I got my first .22 tonight.
It's a lovely Wally-World special Ruger 10/22 with a 22" stainless barrel.
I have yet to read the manual, but should I give it some lube before taking it to the range? And is there a preferred way to break it in? What has been your experience? Thanks, as always!

The expected outcome is a portion of HTML. Obviously, this works only if you really have the en_US locale, i.e., the "locale" command in the xterm doesn't print any errors. And your locale setup is indeed incorrect, as "\303\244" appear, as if the paste resulted in UTF-8 bytes instead of ISO-8859-1, and as if bash treats these characters as unprintable (this happens only in the "C" locale). -- Alexander E.

Can someone explain "Taylor's Inequality" in entirely nonmathmatical terms?
I know its kinda weird request but i am so easily confused with this stuff.
Thanks alot!
Well, i don't know the proof of the inequality itself, so i really can't explain in much detail. i can tell you however, that it is used to find the error in the taylor series approximation of a function.

Christan's Color Conundrum
When Christan wrote to us in search of a clean and current yet soft and subtle kitchen color scheme, we grabbed our paint swatches and got to work. Here's her letter:
I'm so excited that I found your website! It has been so inspirational to read and I have many, many rooms I need consultations on! The first room that needs your help is the kitchen. You'll see that there are a full set of cabinets on one side of the kitchen, and then on the other side, just past the fridge, are another row of cabinets. The cabinets are currently painted white and have become stained with coffee spills, etc from the previous owners. They are in desperate need of being repainted. What color combination would you recommend for the walls and for the cabinets? My fiancé, Dan, tends to have a very modern style and I tend to sway a little more towards French Country and warmer colors (although I love cool tones and neutrals, too). We need to find a happy medium… if that's possible… between the two styles. Please keep in mind that I cannot afford to change the flooring or the counters at this time but we are planning to get new cabinet hardware soon and new appliances sometime in the future. Oh and eventually we will sell the house so please keep resale in mind when you're developing the color palette. We look forward to hearing what you think! – Christan
Those walls are certainly bright against those white cabinets, so we're sure this is going to be one of those insanely dramatic before and after stories. Of course we have to mention that the color schemes below look a heckova lot more dynamic in person, so bear with our paltry attempt to recreate them in Photoshop. The best thing for Christan to do is to grab all of the swatches that we recommend below and hold them up in her space to see which grouping suits her fancy. We can hardly wait to see what she picks (and of course peep the after pics!). So without further ado, three different color palette ideas to spiff up her kitchen in no time:
Here's the color scheme breakdown.

You Might Want To Sit Down
We hooked you guys up with an easy breezy chair upholstery tutorial a while ago, and we're back with some more fabulous chair overhauls for your viewing pleasure.
John's frequently mentioned sister Emily recently recruited me to go fabric hunting with her in hopes of stumbling upon the perfect new fabric to cover two old chairs with serious transformation potential. First we pounded the pavement to find the perfect complement to this sleek, low slung chair (with worn orange fabric that had seen better days). Here we are testing out a few swatches before calling the upholsterer:
And here's the well dressed "after" proudly sporting a tiny black and white checkered fabric that gives off an overall gray effect with some movement (and a super fun pillow to keep things interesting):
But the upholstery party didn't end there (in fact, we cleverly negotiated a discount rate thanks to the fact that we had two chairs that needed recovering). Here's a chair that Emily and I discovered for a mere $15 at a thrift store (The Love Of Jesus, here in southside Richmond- and yes it's really called that). The bones were there but it needed some major work. Here's the granny-esque before:
And a progress shot after we spray primed and painted the wood a bright crisp white:
Then we sent her off the the upholsterer for a sexy little makeover (in ever so classic black suede) to compliment her new white paint job:
So there you have it. Two fab chair makeovers thanks to some timeless fabric selections and some much needed upholstery assistance (many thanks go out to our local upholstery guy Bruce Thorton: 437-8853). We hope you've been inspired to rescue a sad, droopy looking chair or two! If they have the right bones you'll be well on your way to sittin' pretty. And send us your chair makeover pics if ya got 'em- there's nothing like a little eye candy in the morning.

Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Xubuntu...
I know that about six billion people have compared and contrasted the differences between the Ubuntu variants. Really, the choice comes down to personal preference, and usually it comes down to the classic Gnome vs KDE war. For years, I avoided X11 altogether, because most of the work I did was in the terminal, but even old CLI guys like me can see that a GUI is really a requirement in today's tech world.
For the record, since it's been available, I've usually used straight up Ubuntu. With all the stories recently on the Linux Journal website, however, I felt the urge to try KDE, in the form of Kubuntu. While I'm sure it will offend half the people reading, I have to admit that I really don't like Kubuntu. And the cliche, "it's not you it's me" rule applies here as well. KDE is great, but it's just not great for me. I really tried to like it, I mean, I read that Linus himself is a KDE user. I think the reason it turns me off is that I don't like the mainline applications. I don't like Konqueror, Dophin, Kmail, Kaffeine, Amarok, or even Kterminal. So for my daily use, I end up doing my best to avoid all the applications that are so tightly (and well) integrated into the system. And artsd? Ick. (I guess KDE4 will help with that, but still.)
Gnome is better (again, for me -- no flame wars now...), but it seems bloated. I can't really say why, but it just feels sluggish. I can't seem to configure it the way I prefer either. The gconf stuff is just complicated, and honestly, reminds me of the Windows registry thing. I do like the Gnome apps better, but even with that, I don't use Evolution. It's too much like Outlook, which I really really don't like. :)
So what's a lazy user to do? Well, you could try NotYourBuntu -- but that only works for me (and then, only in my imagination). ;) If you're really not happy with Gnome or KDE, however, Xubuntu offers a really nice alternative wrapped around the XFCE desktop. It's fast, light, and doesn't get in the way. I don't feel as tied to specific applications, and mix & matching my favorites from the Gnome and KDE lineups seems to work very well. Since my application preferences vary widely, that's really important to me.
Xubuntu might not be for everyone, but if KDE doesn't light your fire, and Gnome seems like it uses more resources than you can spare -- I'd suggest giving XFCE a try. The Xubuntu installer works just like the other *buntu flavors, and it's everything I've ever wanted in a distro. Give it a try, you might like it.
And if you don't? Well, that's what's great about Linux. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. It's all about choice.
When it comes down to it, I love Linux any way it's sliced. Picking one distro or desktop manager over another is a lot like picking a favorite ice cream. Even the flavor you like the least is still ice cream!

xubuntu vs ubuntu
great things make it difference...
To date, I haven't had much success using any ubuntu distros. There was always some glitch that annoyed me enough to toss it. Recently I inherited (literally) a Dell Inspiron 1501 w/2G@533 and the AMD 64 x 2 @ 1.7GHz. I installed Kubuntu on it and had to verify that the 1501 wasn't actually running a PIII w/128MB and no swap. As a matter of fact, I have an old PIII w/256MB running PCLinuxOS 2007 that seems to run faster. So Kubuntu was tossed.
Then I installed xubuntu (just 'cuz I REALLY enjoy installing OSes) and now the Inspiron runs more respectably. It's still not as quick as I'd like, but it's WAY faster than kubuntu was. I think I'll keep it and tweak it for a while.
I like Xubuntu in the respect that it is light and fast, but I don't like the feel of it. Could have been that I didn't mess around with the themes. I recently just installed a fluxbox window manager, and loved it so much, I uninstalled anything that had to do with Gnome or KDE. I pretty much uninstalled everything, installed fluxbox, and selected what programs I wanted for what purpose. Runs LIGHTNING fast (as in, VMWare Player running Windows 2000 flawlessly with Age of Empires and WinAmp playing on a 1.8 GHz processor and only 512 of RAM, while running Firefox and Pidgin in the background on my linux side.) I highly recommend trying it out.
Xubuntu great on laptops
When the last Ubuntu upgrades rolled around (7.10), I moved my desktop machines and laptop to it. Although Ubuntu was fine on the desktops, it was truly awful (and, for all intents and purposes, unusable on my laptop). After many, many tweaks and installs, I tried Xubuntu and have yet to look back. My laptop runs like a rocket under Xubuntu ...

Hey "old CLI guy"!
sudo apt-get remove your shitty app
sudo apt-get install your fav app
You've got a Kubuntu-er Thinking Xubuntu
I got hooked on KDE a few years ago so Kubuntu was a natural fit for me. I did load Xubuntu on a low powered, rarely used laptop and it performed fine. I sort of forgot about Xubuntu until you mentioned it in this article. I've got just the machine to load it on time permitting. It has been running SUSE 9.3(dual boot with XP rarely occupying RAM) for a couple of years and could use a new look. That machine mostly sits running a web cam cron job so a bloated GUI isn't needed. Thanks for the Xreminder. Choices are a wonderful thing. Besides incredible reliability and ease of installation, my Linux choices haven't forced me to choose upgraded hardware just to get the latest distro. That's a wonderful thing too. Thanks for Xpressing what sounds like a good choice to me.
Mike Roberts is a bewildered Linux Journal Reader Advisory Panelist.
I started running xubuntu on my eee pc rather than the default xandros distro and am loving it. I have been running gnome ubuntu on my thinkpad for a few years and was quite content but I must say I am definitely liking xubuntu at the moment.
all about choice again
Im so sick of hearing the "Linux is all about choice" mantra - I cant begin to describe how sick. Apart from the fact that the phrase is meaningless, it is only used as a get-out-of-jail-free card whenever one of the many shortcomings of Linux is exposed. Then we get the "well if you dont like distro x (because its bug ridden like all the other ones) then you don't have to use it" followed by the Linux choice mantra.
Actually Linux is surely all about computing not choice - its an operating system / application bazaar not interior decoration.
The only reason choice is good for Linux is that you can choose not to use it, and so avoid the pain of trying to get the bloody thing to work properly.
Please, SitDown Little Mr Balmer...

Now go do your homework, so mommy will make-oo warm milk and cookies.

Agreed. It's great to read
Agreed. It's great to read about someones opinion, but this post shouldn't be on the linuxtoday.com frontpage.
Column is a regular on the front page
While I'll easily concede the points made thus far about no performance metrics reported, this column is a regular here. The editors can put whatever they want here, even if it's a story about how much better potatoes are in Idaho. Get over it.
too much opinion, no facts about xfce's footprint, main points are disliking apps like amarok. My worst read of the night without a doubt.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

NOGALES, AZ - DECEMBER 10: U.S. border officer Michael Avelar and drug-sniffing German Shepherd Ali inspect a vehicle entering the United States at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing on December 10, 2010 at Nogales, Arizona. Despite Arizona's tough immigration enforcement laws, thousands of Mexican citizens have permits to work in the U.S. and commute daily from their homes across the border in Mexico. Border crossings, known as "ports of entry," are run by the U.S. Office of Field Operations, which is part of the department of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Port personnel are the face at the border for most visitors and cargo entering the United States and are authorized to stop, question, search and examine everyone entering the country.

The Cajuns kick off their 2009 campaign Friday night
The UL baseball's drive for Ohama begins tomorrow night at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field when the Cajuns host the Nebraska Cornhuskers. UL players and coaches put on a smile today for the cameras. The team had their official team photo taken before their 2:30 practice.
There are some questions surrounding tomorrow's opener. The Cajuns' health has been a question, especially in the outfield. Also, shortstop Will Long could miss some game this weekend with a deep thigh bruise. Nebraska will provide a good opening test for Tony Robichaux's squad.
All-in-all, the Cajuns are just happy the season is here. Most of the players we talked to at practice today said they were ready to pitch to somebody else for a change.
Kick off your Mardi Gras weekend with Cajuns baseball. Don't forget, you can catch two games this weekend on our sister station, My KLAF TV. Check us out at Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader at 2 p.m. and then again bright and early Sunday morning at 11:30. See you at the park!

Anglers Inn on Lake El Salto
Mexico Bass Fishing at Anglers Inn
We like to watch the eyes of our guests the first time they see Anglers Inn Lodge at El Salto Lake. It's unlike anything you'd expect to find up there in Mexico's Sierra Madres. It sits right on the shore of the lake. You won't find anything else that even comes close to matching its location, facilities or service. Nobody "roughs it" at Anglers Inn. You can come with a fishing partner or your wife and kids. Our lodging is designed to handle the needs of everyone from corporate executives to couples. You won't be driven over curving mountain roads to get her. Its paved freeway all of the way.
Every month is a possibility for Trophy Bass. In the Fall you can catch them on crankbaits and topwater; in the late Spring you catch them on plastic. (Call 15 days prior to your arrival for update). The bass usually spawn February through March.
At Anglers Inn you will be treated like a king while fishing for Florida-strain bass. We have had more than 28 years experience taking care of our visitors. Be assured our accommodations, equipment and staff are the highest quality. Upon your arrival at your gateway city, you will be met by a bilingual Anglers Inn representative at the airport and transported to the lodge. Beer, bottled water and soft drinks will be on board for the ride. You will need a passport in order to obtain your tourist visa from the Mexican officials or your airline before entering Mexico. If traveling with a minor under 18 years of age, you must have a notarized permission letter signed by the other parent.
From November through March the mornings are cool, requiring a light jacket or sweatshirt. By midday, the temperature rises to the high 70's or low 80's. After March the midday temperature will rise to the high 80's through the mid-90s. It is still cool enough on the lake in the morning to require a light jacket. We have air-conditioned rooms and dining rooms for your comfort.
Getting to the Anglers Inn Lodge at El Salto Lake poses no problems. You get to Mazatlan and we'll take it from there. Lake El Salto is located in the state of Sinaloa about 1 ½ hours from the picturesque port of Mazatlan and about 800 miles from U.S. Border at Nogales, AZ. Mazatlan is the main gateway city for commercial flights and private planes: You'll be met at Mazatlan's International Airport by members of the Anglers Inn staff. We'll see that your luggage gets to the Anglers Inn Lodge when you do. There will be a tray full of our special Margaritas waiting there for you!

In Milton Town beach opens for swimming after 13-day closure
Thursday, August 8, 2013
MILTON — After a 13-day spell of high E. coli readings, test results that came in on Tuesday afternoon have finally allowed Milton Town Beach to be reopened for swimming and wading.
Milton selectmen, meeting on Monday evening, worked through a varied agenda, which included a discussion about the E. coli problem that led to the prolonged closure of Milton town beach for swimming and wading.
"The training will be certified," said Bridges, adding that he had been in consultation with Police Chief Richard Krauss.
"You could send the geese up to my place," suggested Johnson, kindheartedly.
The state is scheduled to carry out its next water sampling on Aug. 22. |

I agree with John on facebook and twitter. Twitter to me seems to be more PR than anything for a person nt so much for an entity like ours. I am behind on reading through bylaws etc. I have been having problems reading. April 23 I had surgery on my eyes that corrected the situation. I am still in recuperation mode but healing nicely. As for facebook, on a personal level, I dealt with some unstable people when I was working. Police and other authorities told me and others who worked with these people to either not use social media or if we wanted to do so to not use our real names. Hence I am lurking on facebook so as to keep up with my grandkids but only a few select people know who I am on facebook. Thus I am pleased that you, Christine, offered to put us on facebook as that is something I could not do. I do think that the facebook page should only show what we are doing and that it should not show any business details. It should have a link to the utube video of John at the white house in the info section. I will write more to board members later on various things Marcia On May 15, 2012 7:15 PM, "John J.

We'll have to find more money before we can travel to the national conventions. Jack loaned the company the money for the Washington trip. We can't do that again. He sent the Board a statemennt on our debts on Saturday that didn't go through. He'll send it again on Thursday. Finally, I have problems travelling. Sitting in cramped positions on airplanes last week has caused problems with my left leg. Arthritis is starting to take a toll. We'll make the change in the brochure that you suggested.

Posted By: Billie M. ShacklettDate: February-26, 1998 at 05:27:03
In Response To: Getting specific blood type info (Steve Shapiro)
I had my test done at a hospital that my doctor sent me to, does this cause a problem because I did not get Dr. D's kit. I don't even have the book yet. I was given some pages from the book until it gets delivered by the bookstore. I really have been impressed with your answers on info lines. Today was the first time I have been on here. I am aType O. I also have other problems, such as Candida in my system, a hormone imbalance( which has nothing to do with food) and I am allergic to dairy products. Have you heard about the Bio-Energetic Medicine? This was how they found out what was wrong with me.I found it on the Internet under the Search for Bio-Energetic Medicine. It can be found at http://www.healthy.net/clinic/therapy/bioenergetic/eavexplained.htmThis is a very interesting article and it also shows what the machine looks like.

Tough test against Thunder could be playoff preview for Rockets
For all the time the Rockets have spent focusing on the bottom of the list of teams in position to make the playoffs in the Western Conference, they've noticed who's at the top of the standings, too. The Rockets have a lot of work to do in the remaining 27 games to keep their position […]

Lin hopes All-Star weekend didn't break his rhythm
With Jeremy Lin enjoying by far his best 3-point touch of the season in recent weeks, the All-Star break might not have been the interruption he wanted. In his last 10 games, Lin made 48.3 percent of his 3s (14 of 29), in part by getting better shots from distance but largely just from shooting […]

Parsons on Durant: He has to guard me, too
With a matchup against the NBA's top scorer on deck, Rockets forward Chandler Parsons had some ideas about what he would do to defend Kevin Durant. For the Rockets' second-leading scorer, that included going against Durant on the other end. "He's one of the best players in the world," Parsons said. "He's tall. He's long. […]

Harden again to face 'brothers'
As he had throughout the All-Star weekend reunion with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, James Harden was clear about how he felt about his former Oklahoma City teammates. "Brothers," he said.

Former Roc-A-Fella artist Beanie Sigel has continued to taunt Jay-Z by blasting his former rap boss with a freestyle diss at a Maryland concert.
Reciting the same diss he performed at a Philadelphia concert last February, Beans and his entourage once again taunted Hov at Baltimore's Sonar nightclub this past weekend.
"Lost the Best of Both Worlds, you could of called R.

Well, that's it. 2011 has officially come to a close. While it was definitely a great year for gaming, this is hardly any time need to dwell on the past. Like the old adage says, out with the old and in with the new.
In keeping with that spirit, we thought we'd look at the games that are headed our way over the next twelve months. The release calendar is packed pretty tight, with high profile titles to suit just about everyone's tastes. Shooters, platformers, RPGs — they're all coming, and they all look amazing. And that's just the stuff we know about. With two new consoles scheduled to hit stores and the very strong possibility that more will be unveiled, this year packs the potential for some momentous shifts in gaming.
In the meantime, though, here are ten of the most anticipated games you'll be able to get your hands on in 2012.
Gearbox built something unique with the first Borderlands. Though the game took heavy cues from Diablo and other action RPGs, the shift to FPS combat and outstanding art direction made for an experience unlike anything else on the market. For as good as it was, though, there was definitely room for improvement in the storytelling department. The upcoming sequel will seek to remedy that, bringing an added coat of polish to the strong gameplay foundation.
And if you're just looking for more of the same, you won't be disappointed either. Borderlands 2 a more diverse armory, four new characters and skill trees, and a broad patch of Pandora to explore, this time without any loading screens to break up the fun. A lot will be riding on the new character classes, three of which are still unannounced. Of course, the class we do know is the Gunzerker, a human tank that can dual-wield any gun in the game, so things will probably pan out just fine.
It's a testament to developer Naughty Dog's stellar reputation that The Last of Us is the only game on this list that's not a sequel. While the Jak and Daxter games were enjoyable enough, Naughty Dog really came into their own with this generation's Uncharted series, proving that they could craft a tight, cinematic experience with some of the most breathtaking setpieces and snappiest writing gaming has ever seen.
No wonder, then, that hype is already high for their next project, The Last of Us. A survival action game set in a post-apocalyptic America infested with fungal zombies, The Last of Us follows the story of Joel and Ellie, two survivors struggling to make their way across the country. Apart from those scant details, we're pretty much in the dark, but creative lead Neil Druckmann has claimed that the title will "raise the bar" for storytelling in games. That's an ambitious sentiment, but if there's anyone in this industry that can pull it off, it's Naughty Dog.
Many fans were skeptical of Blizzard's decision to split the Starcraft 2 campaign into three separate releases, but now that we've all had some time to digest Wings of Liberty, the advantage of giving each race its own full length story is obvious. Heart of the Swarm should really drive that point home, as no character in the Starcraft canon is more deserving of an epic tale than the Queen of Blades herself, Sarah Kerrigan, especially given the cliffhanger ending of the last game.
Only in it for the multiplayer? No worries. Heart of the Swarm will bring a handful of new units for all races — three apiece for the Protoss and Terran and at least two for the Zerg — as well as some significant balance changes that should change the metagame dramatically.
Assassin's Creed III is set during the War of Independence in the United States of America, and is leagues away from the Old World. Players take on the role of a young Mohawk named Connor, who joins the Assassins not for revenge like his predecessor Ezio, but for the pursuit of justice.
Players will once again continue the story of Desmond in the present day, as he solves puzzles that unlock the secrets of his memory, and of his heritage.
Assassin's Creed III can be seen as a new starting point for the Assassin's Creed series, as it allows players to go back to the basics with the introduction of a brand new character, with a brand new legacy.
The term "WoW killer" has been bandied about so much by this point that's it's lost all meaning, but it's unquestionable that the timing is right for someone to dethrone Blizzard as the king of MMORPGs. World of Warcraft has been hemorrhaging subscribers for a while now, and while The Old Republic will likely fill the MMO void for some, those who prefer high fantasy will need another option. Enter Guild Wars 2. With one innovative (and very well received) MMO under their belt, developer ArenaNet seems poised to deliver the most revolutionary online RPG in recent memory.
What's most remarkable about Guild Wars 2 is that it essentially throws out all of the genre's established conventions. Everything from the basics of combat to leveling to PvP has its own unique flair. Even the quest system, the tried and true fallback of every MMO ever made, will be gone in Guild Wars 2, replaced with a dynamic event system and a storyline that responds to your actions. With any luck, we'll be searching for a Guild Wars 2 killer in a few years' time.
Whether you opt for male Shepard, FemShep, or something else entirely, he/she/it is one of the most memorable protagonists in gaming history, made all the better by the fact that you can decide the outcome of their story. In Mass Effect 3, that adventure will finally come to its close. That means no more cliffhangers or stalling, just an action-packed conclusion to one of the best sci-fi epics ever to grace the medium.
And if saving the galaxy from a Reaper invasion isn't enough to whet your appetite, there's also the promise of a horde-style co-op mode. With support for up to four players, persistent character leveling, and a chance to impact the outcome of the single-player campaign, multiplayer should prove an interesting addition to the franchise, at least for the laughs you'll getting sending your friends flying with your biotic powers.
Bungie may have moved onto greener (or, given the color of Master Chief's armor, less green) pastures, but that doesn't mean that we've seen the last of Halo. Developed by newly minted franchise guardians 343 Industries, Halo 4 will kick off a new story arc for the Chief, which the studio has termed "The Reclaimer Trilogy".
For the time being, 343's playing their cards pretty close to the chest, but there are a few things we can safely bet on: Master Chief will shoot aliens, they'll shoot back, and at some point the Flood will show up and they'll all shoot each other. I don't know about you, but that's good enough for me.
How in the world do you follow up on a game as revolutionary as BioShock? The answer, according to Irrational Games, is to change everything. No more Big Daddies, no more Little Sisters, no more Rapture. In fact, BioShock Infinite's story takes place before the first game and appears to be completely unrelated, centered instead upon flying city of Columbia.
While the first game's combat mechanics — a blend of gunplay and superpowered abilities — are more or less intact, they're now just the base for something much more complex. You've now got two more crucial tools at your disposal, the skyhook, which lets you grapple onto railways to move rapidly during a battle, and Elizabeth, whose mysterious powers allow her to manipulate the world around her. Thrown in some stellar writing and a radical new AI system, and you've got more than a few reasons to be excited.
For a lot of gamers, just hearing the words "new Grand Theft Auto" is enough to get us salivating, but that doesn't mean Rockstar is comfortable resting on their laurels. By the looks of GTA V's debut trailer, they've been doing the exact opposite, listening to all the critiques fans leveled at the last game and crafting an experience that satisfies just about every request.
Planes? They're back, with everything from crop dusters to jets on display in the trailer. A bigger world? Yep. Rockstar has meticulously recreated a huge swath of Southern California, including all the sprawl of Los Angeles. A less serious tone? If you watch closely, you'll catch all sorts of naughty jokes laced throughout the trailer, but the real proof is in the game's plot. GTA V satirizes current events by telling the story of a middle aged man who's driven back to a life of crime by the down economy. Juxtapose that with the excesses of the Hollywood lifestyle, and the jokes pretty much write themselves.
It's been more than a decade since Diablo II hit shelves, and after all that time, it's still the best action RPG out there. Per usual, it's up to Blizzard to one-up themselves, and Diablo III looks ready to do just that, with a host of new features, gameplay changes, and, of course, another adventure in the dark world of Sanctuary.
Additions like the new crafting and skill rune systems should expand the experience without straying too far from franchise roots, while alterations to the core gameplay should help to streamline things considerably. Rest assured that none of these changes have dumbed the game down in the slightest. Instead, they've helped eliminate the minor nuisances you had to deal with in the prior games. No more manually picking up each last pile of gold. No more tedious inventory management. This is a smarter, faster version of the Diablo we all know and love, and that's definitely something to be excited about.

DEP to review public comment on tire burner facility
WHITE DEER – Two months after a meeting proposing a tire burning facility in White Deer Township, Union County, a public comment period has ended.
According to DEP spokesman Dan Spadoni, they received 250 written comments, 62 phone calls, 177 signatures on a petition and 22 people who testified at the public hearing. Now, it is time for DEP to do the work. "Our air quality program must review all of the comments received and we must prepare a response to the relevant questions and concerns raised in the comments. It will then be issued at the time we make a final decision on the air quality plan approval application."
Spadoni says it will take time for DEP's staff to go through all of the public comments, so there is no timetable yet for a response.
The tire incinerator is planned to be the energy source for National Gypsum Corporation, which makes wallboard, via En-Tire Logistics of Milton. They are proposing to incinerate chipped tires to produce both steam and 7-megawatts of electricity. Those opposing the burner have argued that burned tires can release harmful chemicals into the air. (Sara Bartlett)

[iOS] Find something fun to do tonight with Gravy

[1]There are two big questions people ask every weekend: where are we eating, and what are we doing after? There are tons of apps out there that aim to help people find good food and fun events, but fewer that let you do both in one app. If you don't want to spend another night at home watching Netflix, Gravy provides a great listing of local events that can keep you entertained.
Main Functionality
Gravy is a helpful app that lets you find fun events near your home or office. Events are sorted by your mood, making it easy to find an event that matches your interests and your energy level!
[2]To find an event in your area, simply tap on an icon that matches your mood/inclination. These include Lively, Classy, Brainy, Playtime, and the nebulous "Whatever." After you make that selection, you can peruse your results, making adjustments to the date or desired location to filter your results further.
Want to see where all the action is? Tap the button for "Trending" and see what the most popular events are in your area, regardless of your "mood" setting." I did note that this setting had a lot of duplicate events for a particular film– not for various show times, mind you, but multiple events for the same time.
There's also a "Channels" tab that allows you sort events by categories like food, free/discounted, the arts, "get fit," sports, live music, and family-friendly events. I like that there are so many ways to filter events, particularly in a large city. You can also add custom channels related to city-specific events, events for moms, LivingSocial deals, and farmer's markets!
The latest version of Gravy is version 1.6.1. This release has a really nice improvement over past versions: you can now browse anywhere using a map. This is particularly nice if you live in the suburbs or a smaller city, and want to see what's going on outside your little corner of the world.
If you want an app that's simple to browse and packed with ton of fun events, Gravy is a really great option. With a great interface and a broad array of events and deals, you can easily find something to eat and something to do. This is a great app to use the next time Friday night rolls around and you're bored.
