In college men's tennis, the Atlantic Coast Conference has always been packed with strong teams. This year, one of the hottest teams in the conference - as well as the nation - is Virginia Tech. Harry Cicma of NBC Sports recently got the chance to sit down with Hokie Head Coach Jim Thompson.
Questions and Answers
Harry Cicma (HC): Your Hokies are currently ranked #22 in the Campbell/ITA College Tennis Rankings, and you have been ranked in the top 15 - which is quite possibly the best start in the school's history. What has led to this success?
Jim Thompson (JT): We have worked very hard for many years to achieve this type of success, but this season we got off to such a great start with the home victory over Kentucky. We played extremely well and I feel the reason for this was we really prepared for it. We had a good fall and we played good competition. Our guys worked hard over the break and came back in shape and ready to start the season.
HC: The ACC Conference is, without a doubt, one of the most heavily-contested conferences in the country. What has it been like coaching against some of the NCAA's top talent?
JT: The ACC is certainly a very talented conference, and I have been very fortunate to coach in such a prestigious league. It is certainly the challenge that all coaches seek, and competing against the best is the only way to really improve.
HC: Your team beat 23rd-ranked Rice 7-0 during a dual match this season. Does this result prove that you are a contender for the national team title?
JT: I think putting that much value on any one result is a mistake. What it does say is that we have a very talented team that is capable of big wins. Rice has a good program and will certainly win lots of matches this spring, so we are fortunate to have played so well at home against them.
HC: Virginia is still the major force in the conference. How can you prepare your team to potentially face the Cavs in the conference tournament?
JT: Virginia does have an excellent team, and they are certainly a challenge to beat in the ACC. But I think our match in Blacksburg was closer than it looked in the end, and I feel our guys believe we can really compete against them. Remember, we will be able to play with a "nothing-to-lose attitude," while UVA might feel a little more pressure next time not to lose.
HC: The Hokies are continually in the nationally rankings, what has lead to this consistent success?
JT: Our athletic department has given us the type of support it takes to have an overall successful program. We have also tried to create an atmosphere for tennis in Blacksburg. Everyone knows VT has had great success in football, and we want people to realize we have - and can continue to have - success in other sports as well. It also has really helped that we joined the ACC.
HC: What advice would you give a recruit who's looking to play at Virginia Tech? That is, do you have advice on the best ways to train? Or how to prepare for the transition from high school tennis to a conference like the ACC?
JT: I think the best advice I can offer is to play as much as possible. Develop all aspects of your game, and try not to focus so much attention on the rankings. In order to be successful here, you have to really love the game and the challenges that go with being a part of a highly competitive team.
HC: What are your goals for the Hokies in 2010?
JT: We have always set high goals here at Virginia Tech. We want to achieve the highest national ranking possible and return to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. Once you reach that point, I feel anything is possible.
This all starts with finishing in the top of our league. All these are goals which are based on outcomes, and we know in order to achieve anything we must control those things which we can control first.
And we will have a good work ethic. We will compete hard every time out!

Today, we think of Halloween as a holiday where kids take to their neighborhoods to
trick-or-treat for candy. Scary movies are on TV, haunted houses pop-up and Jack-o-lanterns are found almost everywhere. Amid all of these fun activities, the history of Halloween is buried. In fact Halloween can be traced back to about 2,000 years ago to a Gaelic festival, "Samhain" or "summer's end" in Gaelic. Researchers believe that this festival was a way to commence the end of the harvest year and to gather resources for the winter months. It was about the changing of the seasons and the revival of nature as summer turned to winter.
The Samhain festival falling at the end of October and the "All Saint's Day" or "All Hallows Mass" falling at the beginning of November combined to create what we today call Halloween.
Halloween is believed to have come to the US through Irish and Scottish immigrants who carried versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century.
"Trick-or-Treat," the popular Halloween phrase is attributed to a literal question of to trick or to treat. "Trick" was a warning that a hoax would be played on the homeowner or their home if no treats were given. Today, the tradition is so widely popular that although the phrase "trick-or-treat" still exists, the "trick" has all but lost its malicious connotation in the US.

From the Salt Lake Weekly here's a reminiscence by D. P. Sorensen, who met Laura Lane Welch Bush at an SMU sorority party.
Their meeting was brief and the memories fuzzy, but the author admits, "I vaguely recall getting wasted with Laura Bush."
I don't care who you are, that's just funny. I think it shows that Laura Bush is a cool chick.

Breaking News
U.S Commerce Secretary John Bryson won"t face charges after allegedly crashing into two cars in L.A. last month … and fleeing the scene — because the D.A. has rejected his hit-and-run case.
As we previously reported, Bryson was found unconscious in his Lexus after allegedly smashing his Lexus into two cars — miles apart from each other.
According to the D.A."s charge evaluation sheet, doctors believe Bryson suffered his seizure following the first accident — and the disorienting experience caused accident #2.
The D.A. says Bryson"s blood tested negative for alcohol and controlled substances, but positive for a low level of Ambien — too low for a DUI charge.
Bryson had been cited for hit-and-run after he was taken to a nearby hospital following the accidents — but today, the D.A. rejected the case due to insufficient evidence … both for hit-and-run and DUI.
Translation: Bryson"s in the clear.

I have a friend whos brother was recently shot. I thought I'd share the story and discuss what the outcome will be. So his brother was driving through a neighborhood hauling some stuff so he was going slow. He has done this once before and both times there was a kid (21yo) driving a sporty Acura behind him honking his horn and revving his engine. Probably lived in the neighborhood. Well this time my friends brother pulled over. The kid pulled over behind him. The two exchanged words and my friends brother reached through the window and hit the kid. He hit him supposedly twice. The kid then took out his gun and shot him once. I'm not sure what kind of gun it was but it was a fmj .40s&w round. Luckily, the bullet went right through his stomach and out his back half an inch from his spine. My friends buddy lived, spent four days in the hospital and was just recently released.
Now I was told this story from my friend about his brother who I met only once. I am not sure if that's exactly how it happened but for the sake of debate let's say it's pretty close. As for the kid who had the gun, he now has a court date that is set.
To start with, I say the kid with the gun was in the wrong. But I bet I know what he was really thinking. The kid was thinking about the castle doctrine so he felt he had the right to protect himself against a guy who was assaulting him through his window. However, where he went wrong is he could have easily avoided the situatio but instead decided to instigate an start a fight by pullin in behind the guys car instead of just going around. The kid was 21 years old so he just got his ccw and was being stupid about it. Now for my friends brother who got shot, do I think he deserved it? Maybe not but he shouldn't have assaulted the kid. Who knows what people are carrying. What do you guys think?

running kitchen flooring into foyer?
Hi all,
I am in a quandary regarding my foyer floor. When we bought our 1916 American Four-Square 13 years ago, one of the first things we planned to do was replace the foyer tile. And here we are, still looking at that ugly tile every day. One of the sticking points has been whether it is OK to have 3 different types of flooring so close together (we think not), or whether we should have the foyer share the flooring with the kitchen/hallway or the living room. As we are looking at getting new hardwood floors for the living room, we had decided we would just extend the wood floor into the foyer and be done with it. However, we want to get a finish that is a little less orangey than what we have now, and that poses a problem with the foyer. As you can see, the stair treads are that same orangey finish as the living room (and dining room) floor. Once I realized that, I figured that if we do extend the LR floor into the foyer, it will have to match. We can't have that shade of finish on the treads, that blondish finish on the banister & trim, and a medium brown on the floor, all in the tiny foyer. So we have to stick to that bright finish all through the downstairs OR carry the kitchen/hallway flooring into the foyer. As we are also preparing to replace the kitchen floor, that is quite doable. My question is, would that look weird? I don't know anyone else who has the floor plan we have, with the small foyer leading into a narrow kitchen hallway, so I just don't know how it would look. I know of course it also depends on the actual floor tile design (still working on that), but my larger question is just whether it would be weird to have the kitchen flooring extend that way.
I wouldn't run the kitchen flooring into the hall, and here's why.
Traditionally, the foyer is the most public part of a house; the kitchen is the most private of the common areas. So the foyer should relate visually to the living room and the stair, rather than appear to be an extension of the kitchen.
And you are absolutely right that the stair treads and the floor from which they rise should match. This is particularly important in a compact plan like yours, where achieving a more expansive and calm effect relies on editing down to fewer patterns and materials.
So if I were you, I would install the flooring I want in the living room, continue it into the foyer, and then refinish your stair treads to match it. It will be a bit of a pain, but oh, so worth it once it's done.
Tying it in with the kitchen hallway will look just fine. In fact, it would make a logical separation between the utilitarian entry/hall and the formal living area. It would draw your eye forward into the hallway, which is visually logical too.
We used to have dark slate in our entry. The rooms to the right & left were orangey oak, and the kitchen straight ahead was vinyl tile. The spaces looked too cramped & chopped up. When we redid the kitchen floor, we ran the tile into the entry. Looks great, makes the house look larger instead of choppy, and was lighter & brighter to boot.
Your house looks cool -- has some very nice features! New tile will be a wonderful addition.
Where's your front door? Opposite the kitchen door?
I personally think that matching the entry to your living room floor makes more sense because (1) it flows better with the LR and the stair, and (2) tying it in with the kitchen floor would make it look like a "runway" to the kitchen, emphasizing the narrowness of that hallway. There's not that much wood visible on your staircase, so matching the stain is not immediately necessary.
Opposing viewpoints -noooooooo!!! Lol, I never know what to do with them.
A couple points: 1) yes, the front door is opposite the kitchen door. In the pics, I just realized it looks like we don't even have a front door. 2) refinishing the stair treads to match the hypothetical new floor won't work b/c that stain carries up into the upstairs hallway, and then into the bedrooms. The only place in the house where that stain is broken is in these pictures (and the upstairs bathroom). I am also not even sure if it *could* be refinished. We are replacing the floors downstairs b/c we were told the current wood is too thin to refinish. That may be the case for the stairs, upstairs hallway, and bedrooms. It's obvious in the dining room, where the nails keep rising up (ouch). 3) I rather glossed over the *type* of tile we will be putting into the kitchen, but I realize that does make a difference. I am looking at something kind of bold (eagerly waiting for the sample to come in the mail), which may not be the best approach for the foyer.
Thanks for the feedback! I would also welcome more!
What about using the wood to match the lr and just painting the whole stairway the color of the walls/trim to make it not compete?

I'm laughing too :) That's the issue with a forum like this -- the suggestions can run in opposite directions and make things more confusing!.
Tying the entry floor to the living room & stair makes very good sense. However, if for practical purposes you can't, it certainly won't be bad looking to run into the hallway, especially if you get a beautiful arts & crafts-y floor tile to blend in with your house style. As for the runway effect, if it's beautiful tile, that could look nice to have an expanse of it (a feature, not a bug!).
And tile in a foyer definitely is practical. Our foyer gets a good amount of tracked-in dirt.
So -- nice if you can match wood to the living room, not the end of the world if you can't.
Got the kitchen floor tile sample in the mail today, and I love it. No final decisions have been made, but this is a very strong contender. It's probably a bit much for the foyer, huh?
Here is a link that might be useful: floor tile
Well, think of it this way: There are no right or wrong answers, so go with whatever you like :)
Are these real tiles, both in the kitchen and the entry?
What does it look like if you remove the runner from the entry floor? Right now, it extends beyond the last step.
I would first find out if your treads are sound enough for re-finishing and staining. If so, I would do all new hardwood throughout your entire first level. Then I would re-stain your treads to match your first floor hardwood. I think it will look more cohesive to have things match on the first level than worry about matching things on the second level. After all, the stairway is more visible from the first floor than the second.
If you find that the second floor is not looking great in comparison with the re-stained treads, you can, down the road, either re-stain the upstairs hall or cover the hardwood in the hall with wall-to-wall carpet to match your stair-runner.
I like the tile in the foyer. If it was my house I would do the hallway and kitchen in wood that matches what is in the living room, which I also like. Leave the foyer tile. Paint or stain the blond wood on the stairs. I would think about possibly painting the paneled wall in the hall.
You have a very cute home! I was wondering what the front door looked like from the inside?
Thanks, all! You have given me a lot to think about. Here is my long, rambling response:
I guess I should say that I don't hate the tile (yeah it's real tile, but I don't think it's original to the house), but I hate the color combination in the foyer. It's too neutral, and changing the tile seems like a good way to liven things up. I know I *could* paint the wood trim and/or treads, but I just have a hard time with painting wood. It feels like a crime against nature or something. Maybe it's all those years growing up with parents who extolled the beauty of unpainted hardwood floors and trim when they encountered it (we had none in our house). As far as staining it goes, I just don't know. If I could snap my fingers and restain all the wood in the house, I would do it in a second, as I am not partial to the peachy blond stain we have ALL OVER THE HOUSE. But it's so expensive, and it's everywhere, and I just don't know if I like the idea of having a different stain just in the foyer. I will have to think on that. As for just doing the stairs, that won't really work b/c of the upstairs. There is no good place to stop the "new" stain, as the stairs turn into the hallway (see picture). And our upstairs isn't really that private. We don't have a 1st floor bath, so everyone has to go upstairs to use the bathroom (which we remodeled 6 years ago and I love). That means that pretty much everyone who comes over see our upstairs. Theresa, I do like your suggestion of doing the upstairs hallway in wall-to-wall carpet. I think that's the only way it would look OK to have the stairs a different color. It would provide a break. And I don't even like how the runner looks in the hall. Stuff always collects on the wood floor at the sides, and I am always having to dust it. Kinda silly, really. So that's a definite possibility. And yeah, it is something we could put off a bit.
I am also posting a picture of the front door. We had the exterior painted a few years ago, and the painter almost had a heart attack when I asked him to paint the outside of the door. The exterior of the house is a cool gray with cool red trim, and that wood stain is just too warm. But the painter talked me out of it ("it's such beautiful wood, it would cost you over a thousand just to buy a door like this nowadays," etc), suggesting that at some point we strip and stain the outside of the door a darker color. Kind of funny since I had had to talk myself INTO the idea of painting the door.
And since I'm posting all these pics, I am including a pic of the wall storage thingie my husband made last year. The foyer is tiny, so we have had to be creative with storage. We also bought a "shube," a leather-look storage cube to keep shoes in. It looks really nice, much better than the open basket we had been using. As kids grow, so do their shoes, and they were taking over!
As far as the wall paneling in the hallway goes, YES! It will be painted! I am dying to do that. It's part of this whole new-floor deal. It's actually decent quality paneling, but it's still kinda ugly and dated and it's all over the kitchen. The whole kitchen will be painted, in fact. And those are the sticky linoleum tiles on the kitchen floor. We will probably still do sticky linoleum tiles b/c we are doing it ourselves, but they make much nicer looking ones now so it will look a lot better than it does now.
Whatever we do with the foyer, we will get a much nicer rug (it's a large doormat, not part of the runner). We have always bought large, utilitarian rugs for the foyer, and they have been so ugly. I guess that's been part of the problem.
Gosh, I guess we have a lot to think about. Ordinarily I get annoyed by suggestions that are outside of what I asked, but you all have some good points and ideas. Thank you!

Dr. Reginald Clark's blog
The Expansion of Black American Misery under Barack Obama's Watch
by Dr. Reginald Clark
Black folks are not only far worse off "since 2009 under President Obama's economic and job creation policies" – Africans Americans are the only group that "has taken a definitive step backwards since then." The main reason: "lack of attention to employment in urban and rural geographic areas where Blacks reside."
Why Obama Health Care Act Should Be Named "Obamacare for the Few and ObamaDon'tCare for the Majority"
by Dr. Reginald Clark
President Obama uses the term "universal" to describe his health care plan. But "well over 100 million American citizens will NOT be covered with a health insurance Plan that makes their health care costs "affordable" when they get sick." There is only one solution: "a publically-led, single payer, Health Care system that takes the profit-motive out of providing access to quality health care."
Deadly Fallout: How Obama's Healthcare Law Provides Unaffordable Access to Health Insurance and Fosters Preventable Deaths
by Dr. Reginald Clark
Despite the hype from Democrats, "the high rate of premature deaths in California and throughout America will continue" even after the Obama health plan is fully implemented, in 2020. "A poverty-level working California citizen… will personally be charged $7,200 for an average hospital stay" – far more than she can afford.

A/N: I wrote this story when I was 15 and my writing has definitely matured so I sincerly apologize if the writing is horrible in the future! Please don't judge me on this alone! My current works are a hundred times better - like the prequel and sequel to this story. Anyways, thank you for reading this everyone! :) Help support by voting and commenting ♥
It's a word that means "the power suppose to determine the outcome of events; 'destiny' or 'death'". I'd always thought that fate meant destiny but when I found out that it could also mean death…well I was more than shocked. But then again, when you think about it, everyone is destined to die. Whether it's from old age, a terrible accident, or sickness; people still die no matter where life takes each and every one of us.
Fate sometimes likes to play tricks on us. One moment everything is completely normal and the next moment makes you stop in your tracks, and do a double take to see what is right in front of you. It all happens in a blink of an eye or in a second, causing your heartbeat to accelerate inside your chest.
That is what happened to me.
In all the years that he has been gone, I have spent countless hours imagining his return, but none could compare to the moment I was witnessing. He was sitting next to my seat in AP English Lit., and was getting settled before class began. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes for a second, asking myself if I was seeing things because surly this couldn't be real. He couldn't be here.
This isn't possible.
When I opened my eyes again, he was still there. His presence wasn't the work of my over active imagination; he was really here. My heart started beating erratically in my chest as I felt a lump in my throat. I didn't know what to feel. Should I be happy? Angry? Relieved? I didn't know. I still couldn't believe that he was here. He finally came back.
I was cautious of the steps I took as I walked towards my seat next to his. Every second that passed felt like an eternity, slowly torturing my very being. If this was a dream, I didn't want it to shatter if I took a false step. My heart felt like it was going to fall right out of my chest if I didn't get a grip on my emotions. There were just so many thoughts running through my head about him. Questions like: Why did he come back? Does he remember me? Where has he been for the past six years?
Pulling my chair out from underneath the table, I sat down as steadily and calmly as I could. That was the exact moment that he turned and looked at me…but there was no recognition in his eyes. It felt like my heart had stopped and I could no longer breathe like a fish out of water. He doesn't remember me. I was just a distant memory to him; someone forgotten over the years; while his memory was still deeply engraved in my mind. But it was him, of that I was certain. I would have recognized him from anywhere because of his eyes.
"Hey, I'm Gabriel." He said extending his hand formally towards me.
I reached my hand forward and met his without a second thought as I said, "Gwen."
What the hell was going on? I know who he is. He's Gabriel Montehue, for heaven's sake. He was my best friend since kindergarten and also the first guy I ever loved. I have pictured different scenarios in my head of his return. Ever since the day I found out he left, the day he disappeared, I have thought of what it would be like when he came back. For months, I cried myself to sleep because of what I had lost. Gabriel had never said good-bye. I cried at night, thinking that he didn't care about me because he didn't leave anything behind for me to know where on earth he had gone. He just disappeared; vanished without a trace.

"We need to live by faith, not by sight." ~Derek Rabelo
17 year-old Derek Rabelo was born blind, but that didn't stop him from pursuing his dream of surfing Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu.
"Pipeline is basically the ultimate wave in a lot of ways — just a short, intense, dangerous wave that's close to the beach," said Kelly Slater, 11-time World Champion surfer. "Many surfers with sight do not venture out even after they see that others can do it."
But he DID do it, and after years of training and inspiring the worlds top surfers Rableo's story is set to be immortalized in film by pro-surfer and film producer Bryan Jennings.
Jennings met Rabelo in May 2012, watched his YouTube video (warning-may cause goose-bumps) and in July, brought him to So-Cal as a special guest for the Walking On Water Surf camps and to start filming the Beyond Sight movie which attracted the crème de la crème of the surfing world who were willing to surf and film with Derek. These surfers included 11X world champ Kelly Slater, 3x world champ Tom Curren, Laird Hamilton, Rob Machado, Damien Hobgood, Makua Rothman, Jadson Andre, Adriano De Souza, Taj Burrow, Joel Parkinson, Lakey Peterson, and Coco Ho.
We think the video sums it up pretty well and we're hoping that in addition to spending $5-bucks on a latte, you'll consider supporting the production of this film.

Merry Christmas!
Yes, it's time. The big push begins today for The Daily News Christmas Cheer Fund.
We have less than three weeks to get this thing done, so we are ready to have some fun. (Pardon the rhyme; it was purely unintentional.)
This is our 11th year and the first 10 have been nothing short of sensational.
We go into this festive season having raised $476,877.68, every cent of which has been passed along to local charitable organizations. The Daily News covers any costs that may be associated with the fund, so we guarantee that every penny that comes in the door also goes out.
And we are well on our way again, as we already are closing in on $7,000.
On Monday, we heard again from the Kamloops chapter of the PEO Sisterhood, an organization that has been active here since March 1968. PEO stands for Philanthropic Educational Organization. According to an accompanying note, PEO is a "sisterhood of women helping women reach for the stars through educational grants, loans and scholarships." Thanks to you all, and have a Merry Christmas.
The Hanes family checked in again, as did Fran Bailey. It's always so good to hear from old friends every December. It was great to hear from the Winter family, too, especially at this time of year!
Don't forget that Larriena Lonsberry and the gang over at Rivershore Chrysler Dodge Jeep are working to pack a Patriot, with Christmas Amalgamated as the main beneficiary. I know there are a couple of brand new games sitting on a shelf at home that will be getting dropped off there over the next few days.
Rivershore also is donating $100 to the Christmas Cheer Fund for each new car sold through Dec. 14.
Walmart also is back on board with us, as is the gang at High Octane Comics and Collectibles, which is located downtown at 250 3rd Ave. Drop by and check out the nifty donation can they have sitting on their front counter.
This time around, there are five local charities - the Kamloops Food Bank, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, New Life Mission, Pregnancy Care Centre of Kamloops and YMCA-YWCA Y Women's Emergency Shelter - sharing in your generosity.
If you want to get in on the fun, feel free to clip (or rip out) one of the Christmas Cheer Fund coupons from the paper. Or, if you prefer, come on into our downtown office (393 Seymour St.) and one of the elves will brighten your day.
* * *
Fran Bailey $25.00
Anonymous $400.00
Anonymous $200.00
Remembering Joan (Love, the Winter family) $140.00
PEO Sisterhood Chapter AU $100.00
The Hanes family (in memory of Bob and Brett) $100.00

This Friday, the darkly re-imagined Snow White and the Huntsman hits theaters, offering a more violent, fantastical take of the popular Brothers Grimm fairy tale. But the Charlize Theron-driven epic isn't the only classic story getting a modern reboot. USA TODAY'S Andrea Mandell takes a look at some of the famous faces pulling Grimm's tales into the 21st century.
Theron plays the Evil Queen Ravenna, whose thirst for power is quenched only by stealing beauty and life as she grows older. "I've never been a part of anything like it," she told USA TODAY while filming. "The character, the wardrobe, the makeup, the sets. I find myself being like a 12-year-old. This is my castle! That's my crown! I've never had that before and I'm loving it."
Stewart takes a break from the Twilight tales to re-imagine the role of Snow White. "I think Snow White is a great story to tell right now," she told reporters at the film's London premiere. "Times have changed, if you're going to do the fairy tale now and make it effective you need to put her in a really dangerous world and see if she can survive. I think we do a pretty good job of doing that."
The Avengers' Hemsworth plays the Huntsman, who trains Stewart's Snow White on the art of war. The actor just had a baby girl named India, and tells USA TODAY this version of Snow White may inspire his daughter one day. "Coming from a family of three boys, my mother was very much a feminist. When we would call each other 'girls,' she would say, 'What is wrong with a girl?' Girls can be strong and you have to respect that. And we should encourage more strong female leads in films."
Collins' ladylike Snow White had classy roots. The young actress based her character (who also learns to fight her own battles) on "an older elegance that I found from people like Audrey Hepbrn and Elizabeth Taylor," she said, while "trying to make her as real as possible and not wanting to do a caricature of an animated princess."
Jolie is telling the Sleeping Beauty story from a new perspective. The live-action Disney film, which shoots this summer in London, is "not anti-princess," Jolie told Entertainment Weekly about the film. "But it's the first time they're looking at this epic woman. ... I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn't mean she can't have other (warmer) qualities."
Fanning (Dakota's sister), who last starred in We Bought a Zoo, nabbed the role of Aurora, the Sleeping Beauty cursed to permanent slumber on her 16th birthday by Jolie's evil fairy-witch. Maleficent will hit theaters in 2014.
Renner's schedule has been packed. First, he debuted new character Hawkeye (pictured) in billion-dollar winner The Avengers, and next takes over for Matt Damon in the Bourne franchise in August. But in fairy tale land, Renner will serve up lighter fare with Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, an action fantasy out in January 2013.
"It takes Hansel and Gretel, we last left them killing a witch as children after they were left in the forest to die," Renner told MTV News, setting up the plot. "It's many years later and they have a grudge against witches so they decide to become bounty hunters and they kill witches for a living."
In March 2011, Seyfried took on the title role in this chilling, dark remake (directed by Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke), which failed to wow critics or audiences.
Audiences were similarly unimpressed with Hudgens' Beauty and the Beast update. At the time, she told USA TODAY she was drawn to the remake because growing up, "I wanted to be Belle. What girl wouldn't want to be a princess and find a guy who she can call her own and who transforms into a handsome prince?"
Shrek set the bar sky high for fairy-dusted box office magic. With Diaz at its helm as Princess Fiona (and Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy leading as Shrek and his trusted companion, Donkey), Shrek's four films have pulled in almost $3 billion (that's billion with a 'b') worldwide. Premiering the last installment, 2010's Shrek Forever After, Diaz dished on her princess style. "For this film for some reason I wanted red lipstick a lot," she told USA TODAY. "That was my Fiona thing. I definitely had a red-lip moment while recording this particular Shrek."

Serotonergic (SSRI) and noradrenergic (NRI) antidepressants modulate biases in emotional processing such that perceptual bias is shifted away from negative and towards positive emotional material. However, the effects of serotonergic and noradrenergic modulation on the temporal course (occurring in milliseconds) of emotional processing, and in particular, the rapid physiological changes associated with the different stages of emotional processing, are unknown.
The current study assessed the effects of acute serotonergic (i.e. with citalopram) and noradrenergic (i.e. with reboxetine) augmentation on event-related potential (ERP) measures associated with 'structural encoding' (N170) and emotion expression decoding (N250 and late positive potential [LPP]) for positive (happy) and negative (sad) facial stimuli relative to neutral facial stimuli.
Materials and methods
This study employed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over design in which 12 healthy male participants completed a facial expression recognition task tested under three acute conditions: (a) placebo, (b) citalopram (20 mg) and (c) reboxetine (4 mg).
Both citalopram and reboxetine had no effect on the N170 ERP component associated with structural encoding, but potentiated the N250 associated with happy (relative to neutral) emotional facial expression decoding. Both drugs had no valence effects on later ERP measures of emotion expression decoding (LPP).
Citalopram and reboxetine have selective effects on the temporal course of emotional processing with evidence to suggest specific effects on emotion expression decoding of positive (happy) emotional facial stimuli as evidenced by changes in the attention-modulated N250 but not structural encoding. These findings provide physiological evidence that antidepressants may shift perceptual biases in emotional processing away from negative and towards positive stimuli.
