Senate clears way for passage of big defense bill
Wednesday - 11/30/2011, 7:04pm EST
By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats and Republicans are pushing for harsher sanctions against Iran's Central Bank as fears of Tehran developing a nuclear weapon outweigh concerns that any step would drive up oil prices and hit Americans at the gas pump.
The Senate on Wednesday weighed whether to add the sanctions measure to a massive, $662 billion defense bill that moved closer to passage. A vote on the sanctions was likely Thursday.
On Wednesday, lawmakers voted 88-12 to limit debate on the legislation, and looked to wrap up the bill by week's end.
The legislation would authorize funds for military personnel, weapons systems, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and national security programs in the Energy Department. The bill is $27 billion less than what President Barack Obama requested for the budget year beginning Oct. 1 and $43 billion less than what Congress provided to the Pentagon this year.
Tougher sanctions against Iran have widespread support in Congress, reflecting concerns not only for U.S. national security but ally Israel's as well. Last week, the Obama administration announced a new set of penalties against Iran, including identifying for the first time Iran's entire banking sector as a "primary money laundering concern." This requires increased monitoring by U.S. banks to ensure that they and their foreign affiliates avoid dealing with Iranian financial institutions.
But lawmakers pressed ahead with even tougher penalties despite reservations by the administration.
Sens. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) offered an amendment to the defense bill that would target foreign financial institutions that do business with the Central Bank of Iran, barring them from opening or maintaining correspondent operations in the United States. It would apply to foreign central banks only for transactions that involve the sale or purchase of petroleum or petroleum products.
The sanctions on petroleum would only apply if the president determines there is a sufficient alternative supply and if the country with jurisdiction over the financial institution has not significantly reduced its purchases of Iranian oil.
Lawmakers cited the recent International Atomic Energy Agency report that Iran is suspected of clandestine work that is "specific to nuclear weapons," its alleged role in the plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in the United States and the attack on the British Embassy in Tehran.
"One of the greatest threats to our nation and our ally Israel is Iran," Menendez said, insisting that the United States must take steps to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
"We cannot, we must not and we will not let that happen," Menendez said, "but the clock is ticking."
Kirk said the amendment was clear: "If you do business with the Central Bank of Iran, you cannot do business with the United States."
The administration harbors concerns about the enforcement of the measure, which has more than 80 backers in the Senate. Denis McDonough, White House deputy national security adviser, held a closed-door Capitol Hill meeting with several senators on Tuesday, including Kirk and Menendez.
After the session, Kirk sought to allay concerns about rising gasoline prices.
"I've had detailed conversations with Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, who described a great willingness by Saudi Arabia to increase (oil) production," Kirk told reporters.
A vote on the amendment was expected on Thursday.
The Senate approved dozens of amendments by voice vote on Wednesday. Among them:
Linking funds for the Pakistan Counterinsurgency Fund to a requirement that the Obama administration certify to Congress that Pakistan is trying to counter improvised explosive devices.
Calling on the president to devise a plan, with input from the military and NATO, for accelerating the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
Seeking an urgent intelligence assessment of Libya's stockpile of about 20,000 portable anti-aircraft missiles and the threat they pose to the United States and its allies.

Light & Landscape: The Vermont Experience
"Meyers Road" – Vermont Landscape In Quiet Solitude
Painting is 7 1/2″ x 11″, matted and mounted to 11″ x 14″ for easy, low-cost framing. Shipping is $6.95 to any US address.
$225.00 Add to cart
The "Perfect" Plein Air Landscape Scene
And some scenes are just waiting to be painted.
Some are especially great for watercolor.
It pays to be in the right spot at the right time. In the many times I've driven along this road searching for something to paint, this is the first time I noticed it looking like this.
The sunlight was bright but filtered through the dense forest. The pattern of light and shade falling on the road was too much to pass up! The dappled and filtered sunlight on the deep snow created a subtle but still visually stunning variety in both the tone and color temperature in the light and shade. Watercolor is the perfect medium to easily capture this effect.
This scene appeared on a sunny morning while driving along Meyers Road in Shaftsbury, Vermont. This area that includes parts of Shaftsbury and North Bennington, Vermont is a favorite place to paint. Many of the paintings done in last years's Winter Hundred and in the Light & Landscape series were done in this area.
Simple Scene Becomes A Pleasing Painting
At first glance, you could get the impression that this is a complex scene. There are a number of trees – tree trunks really – that appear in the scene. Other than those, this is a painting that is very much made from a few very large and well integrated shapes, painted with a very limited "winter palette". Basically there are three shapes – the large shape of snow covered road, snowbank and forest floor, the shape that includes the woods and trees and spans the picture from side to side, and a small piece of sky. Of course there are details in each area that break up the shape into recognizable elements. Designing and painting the large shapes first is a way to ensure a well integrated painting.

Welcome to the Wellspring Church of God entrance page.
Our main page is located below, click on the link below to continue.
www.wellspringchurchofgod.com or www.278COG.com
Both pages belong to and are serviced by Wellspring COG.
The information on the HEALING SCHOOL is located through this link or the link at the top right.
Our regular services are:
Sunday School 10:00 AM
Sunday Day Worship 11:00 AM
Sunday Evening Worship 6:00 PM
Monday Evening Men's Bible Study 6:00 PM
Wednesday Bible Study 6:30 PM
(There is a meal at 5:30 PM before class)
We provide a nursery for regular services and bible study.
A nursery is not provided for the healing class.
Wellspring Church of God offers to the public a class on laying of hands and healing twice a month.
1st and 3rd Saturdays, at 1:00 PM
For more information on the class contact Scott @, (256) 393-1910
The class is completely free. We do not ask for donations or offerings.
There is a lot of information that is put out, you can attend as many times as you like.
In fact, many have attended several times to become familiar with all the information.
After you leave the class you will have already have experience and will have put your knowledge to the test in live settings with real people. When you leave, will will have confidence in what you have learned and know that you are able to do those things you have been taught in class and by a biblical standard.
The best classes have 4 - 10 participants, the class will be taught even if it is only one person.
If you bring others with you it allows you to work in pairs in the practical laying of hands.
You will be able to watch, listen and learn from others doing it as well.
Children as young as seven have been taught how to lay hands and they have witnessed incredible results!
The class is taught in four parts, all are during the same session.
1. Laying the basics from the word that we are to lay hands, it is not a request. It is a command.
2. The practical, this is where the participants will pair up with each other and put to use what they have learned. Those in attendance do the ministering, the class teacher will guide and advise the participants.
3. Many times in order to receive a healing it is required to be done in two parts. Deliverance from demonic beings, then a physical healing. The third part deals with casting out devils/spiritual warfare/operations and methods of demonic spirits/doorways they use to gain entrances.
It gets down and dirty! And yes, there have been devils cast out during the class!
4. Many people ask during class, "Why does my church not teach or practice this?"
We cover why many churches teach/preach against the practice, even though it solidly a part of Old and New Testament doctrine. Again, it is commanded that we would do this, it is a hallmark of being a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth.
In fact, it is a "Doctrine of Christ" himself that we would.
Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of
eternal judgment.
For those that are unable to attend, because of distance or circumstances. We want you to receive this knowledge!! It is vital for the church to have this information in the last days of Grace.
ALL the teachings and information that is given in class can be found HERE.
The class is around 5 - 6 hours long, depending number of participants and ministering that takes place in class.
This >LINK< is for a zipped file that can be placed on your desktop, thumb drive or burned to CD.
It will allow you to learn at home, at your own pace. It will go into greater depth than can be taught in a single class. We would like to have you in class to teach you hands on, but if you can't we want you to have the knowledge!
You can look at the information in the file as basic through advanced teachings all in one source.
You will need this file to unzip it. It is free and work on TONS of zipped file formats. It will allow to to create zipped files as well.
This is not just talk and reading!
It is the meat and bones of how you can be used by God to fulfill his commandment, you WILL get to see and experience miracles first hand!
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
The purpose of the classes is not to "steal" members from other churches.
We want to serve the body of Christ. We want to share those things we have learned with men, women, youth and children for them to carry it to their own congregations.
We hope to see this grow, and to be used by other churches as well as our own to mature the body, and bring in those that are lost.
The harvest is truly ready, we want to help equip the laborers that want to work for the kingdom.
Laying of hands for the sick is a regular part of our Sunday and Wed. night services.
It is open to anyone that wants to attend, visit or take advantage of this.

continued Magguilli said the town is still looking into whether the 2007 approval of the final site plans have expired. The building permit on this project has since expired but Magguilli said the final site approval did not set any limitations for when the project had to be finished. The provision itself, though, says the Town Board must decide whether or not substantial or continuous steps have been taken by the developer to move the project forward.
Even with all of the opposition to the project, Magguilli said to the crowd that the must at least give the developer due process.
"The developer should be able to be heard and describe what steps have been taken," he said. "It's up to the board to decide whether or not it has been substantial. Tonight, that is not before us."
Mahan said a discussion between the developer and the public needs to happen soon. LaCivita tried to propose a meeting at the Public Operations Center on Thursday, Oct. 13, but many residents felt there wasn't enough time for proper notification in the newspapers. The date for that meeting has yet to be determined.
"We need some answers and we need them as soon as possible," Mahan said. "The election has nothing to do with this issue. It's been a long-standing issue for a lot of years."

Manufacturers give quite a lot of leeway in expiry dates...which are just the date to which they guarantee the results if the film is stored in accordance with their instructions.
I stock up with new and fresh film (B&W or color) from time-to-time, keep it in the fridge or freezer, and not worry at all if I use it up within 2-3 year after expiry. But I'd be much more cautious in buying out-of-date film unless I really knew the storage history (perhaps being a little skeptical when an Ebay seller says it's been frozen since the day it was made...no offence meant to the many honest Ebayers, of course!). Not worth the risk to try to save a few $, when the real cost is spending time, money and effort in getting to photogenic locations.
Having said that, I have occasionally used really ancient film with some degrees of success, but only by way of interest and experimentation, never for important pictures.

Alternative Spring Break Trips
Costa Rica
By Monica Cason 14
For most college students, spring break is thought to be the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy a fruity drink on an exotic beach.
While participants of the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE)'s alternative spring break program did enjoy a tropical location during their week off, the main focus was not on personal rejuvenation. On March 10th, 2012, a group of nine CMC students joined Staff Leaders Amy Bibbens (Director of CCE) and Nicole Sheldon-Desjardins (Assistant Director of Off-Campus Study) as well as Student Leaders Monica Cason '14 and Andrew Bergman '14 for a week of volunteer service with Tropical Adventures in Education in the rural community of Villa Mastatal, Costa Rica. read more…
Panama City
by Michael Lapadot '12
During Spring Break 2012 at the Claremont Colleges, seventeen students from the Rotaract of the Claremont Colleges traveled to Panama City, Panama to engage in meaningful community service in the Casco Viejo barrio. The goals of the trip were ambitious. We wanted to provide generous donations to the local NGOs we would be working with, make a lasting impact in the community through manual labor, and establish strong relationships between Casco Viejo and the Claremont Colleges and Claremont community. Long before we departed LAX in the early hours of March 9, we set about accomplishing these goals, and in the end, the results were extraordinary. read more…
Central Appalachia
by Kevin Amirdjanian '14
Spring break is often a time for students to acquaint themselves some much needed rest and relaxation.
A group of students at CMC decided to do something unique with their spring vacation and take part in a community service trip sponsored by the Center for Civic Engagement. Twelve students and two staff members boarded a plane late at night on March 10th, 2012 and flew over to Johnson City, Tennessee to spend a week working with the Appalachia Service Project.
The Appalachia Service Project, or ASP, is a Christian volunteer organization that operates in Central Appalachia. ASP dedicates itself to providing home repair for low-income families whose living conditions are considered sub-standard. Additionally, ASP provides the opportunity for groups of people from across the country to develop leadership and communications skills while participating in home-repair projects. read more…

We have seen countless WWII-type games and unfortunately nothing exciting makes this game stand out from any others.
First Battalion is an action-heavy World War II tank game with fairly simple gameplay mechanics and not much depth.
First Battalion is pretty fun for the first couple of hours but the repetition starts to get to you after a while. The similarity in levels, tanks, missions and objectives eventually becomes boring.

The neocons have lost ground within the Executive Branch, but continue to wield great influence in Congress and Washington opinion circles. That sway is revealed in the framing of debates on President George W. Bush's power to torture and President Obama's use of lethal drones, notes ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley.
Tag Archive for neoconservatives
Eyes Wide Shut on the Iraq War
Exclusive: As the tenth anniversary of the Iraq War approaches, it's worth recalling one moment when the curtain was prematurely lifted on the lies justifying the invasion – and how quickly government officials and the complicit mainstream press pulled it back down, as ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern explains.
Forgetting the Success of Deterrence
A decade ago, President George W. Bush and his neocon aides were convinced that hi-tech American weapons in a "uni-polar world" meant the U.S. could remake the Middle East through violence. It was a moment of hubris that ignored the lessons of history and the Cold War, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
How Neocons Messed Up the Mideast
Special Report: Newly available documents reveal how Ronald Reagan's neocon aides cleared the way for Israeli arms sales to Iran in 1981, shortly after Iran freed 52 U.S. hostages whose captivity doomed Jimmy Carter's reelection. The move also planted the seeds of the Iran-Contra scandal, reports Robert Parry.
Weighing a Possible War on Iran
As neocons mount a last-ditch offensive to stop Chuck Hagel as Defense Secretary – partly because he isn't hawkish enough on Iran – the war drums are beating again across Official Washington, drowning out any thoughtful cost-benefit analysis, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
Rand Paul's Tepid Critique of Neocons
Sen. Rand Paul, a Tea Party favorite who will give one of two Republican responses to President Obama's State of the Union, is deviating slightly from the GOP's neocon orthodoxy and drawing criticism from the likes of neocon Robert Kagan. But any rethinking of tough-guy-ism is welcome, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Smearing US Dissidents on Iran
A key residual power of Washington's neocons is their access to think-tank journals and influential op-ed pages to "controversialize" American analysts and writers who deviate from foreign policy orthodoxy. At such moments, history and honesty are cast aside for ideology and expediency, Nima Shirazi notes.
Colin Powell: Conned or Con-Man?
Exclusive: A decade ago, President George W. Bush was hurtling toward an aggressive war against a country not threatening the United States. Only a few people had a chance to stop the rush to war with Iraq, but one – Colin Powell – instead joined the stampede, recalls ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
The Iraq War 'Surge' Myth Returns
Exclusive: To win Senate approval as Defense Secretary, former Sen. Chuck Hagel likely will be forced to bow before Official Washington's cherished myth of the Iraq War's "successful surge." To tell the more nuanced truth would open Hagel to another round of neocon attacks, writes Robert Parry.
America's War for Reality
Exclusive: The United States has been on a three-decade binge of unreality, imbibing delusions that began with Ronald Reagan and have continued through the Tea Party. The challenge now is for rational Americans to show they have the toughness and tenacity to fight for the real world — and to save it, writes Robert Parry.

Garces and Bakersfield Christian are small, private schools that pride themselves on athletics but don't play the same level of schedule as Bakersfield's big public high schools.
That sometimes causes statistics that the big schools scoff at -- but you don't hear many of those comments when it comes to BCHS senior A.J. Ramirez and Garces junior Jake Sweaney.
They are the 2012 Californian Baseball Co-Players of the Year, and statistics, value to their teams and the eyeball test all confirm that.
Ramirez batted .505 with 30 extra-base hits for the Eagles, all while playing the demanding position of shortstop. What's more, he hit 23-for-41 with five doubles, two triples and four home runs in games against teams from higher playoff divisions.
He also excelled in a wooden-bat league on a team sponsored by the St. Louis Cardinals last summer, a performance that helped earn him a scholarship offer from USC.
"I've seen a lot of players go through," said Tom McCormack, a former area scout and the recently retired BCHS coach. "He's the real deal. That's what got USC interested. The improvement from summer ball to fall ball to the high school season, and then to be named Co-Player of the Year, that's really an accomplishment."
Sweaney just completed his junior season, but he also has committed to a Pac-12 Conference team, Oregon. A catcher, Sweaney is like Ramirez in that he can do a bit of anything: He hit .496 with a 32-game hitting streak to end the year. He stole 24 bases and threw out plenty of opposing runners. He hit 11 home runs, second in the Central Section — 10 of his homers came during an incredible first month in which he led MaxPreps' national lists in homers.
"I couldn't believe it, either," Sweaney said. "I just got on a roll, and it just didn't stop. It was a lot of fun. I just swung as hard as I can, and didn't expect them all to go out, but they did."
Sweaney even pitched the final five innings in the Rams' Division III championship victory over Fresno.
"In all honesty, as a varsity player, I don't think I could ask for more," Garces coach Guy Dees said. "Once he gets to a college level, there are things coaches can improve with him, but for a varsity high school player? He's wonderful."
Sweaney has played every position on the field for Dees in three years, but he said he's been a catcher since age 8.
"I just feel like you're always in the game," Sweaney said. "I like that if there's a runner on base, I want him to be afraid I'm going to throw him out."
That makes his speed and power even more valuable to teams at the next level. So does his mental approach to the game. After Sweaney's power binge to start the season, teams started feeding him a steady diet of breaking balls and generally forcing an aggressive hitter to be patient.
Sweaney said that's still an area he can improve, but it says something that he kept up that hitting streak through the season anyway.
"It all worked out," Sweaney said. "I feel like I slowed down a little, but I still did pretty dang good."
Same for Ramirez, the son of Roberto Ramirez, who played parts of eight seasons in the minor leagues with the San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's, Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles organizations and reaching as high as Class AAA. That made A.J. a baseball kid, traveling with his dad during the summer from clubhouse to clubhouse — and in the offseason in the Dominican Republic, his dad's homeland.
"Some of my favorite memories are from the Dominican Winter League," A.J. Ramirez said. "David Ortiz, Miguel Tejada, Pedro Martinez — all those guys would go, and I'd be able to meet them."
Strangely enough for a son born to a Dominican baseball player, though, Ramirez's other love was hockey. He nearly entered a semi-pro hockey league in Canada during his sophomore year at BCHS, but he decided to stay and pursue a college scholarship in baseball instead.
"I don't regret (giving up hockey) as much as I thought I would," he said. "Now I know I have a passion for baseball."
And that showed — for Ramirez and Sweaney — during a stellar 2012.
"People are always like, 'Oh, Bakersfield Christian, you guys are small,'" Ramirez said. "But those are the games I look forward to the most. It's a chance to prove we're a good baseball club, and it makes me better."

The tony summer benefits held in that rarified enclave for the truly wealthy (and those who are just pretending) known as the Hamptons are now in full swing. This weekend's big fete? A benefit for Art for Life, which was founded by brothers Russell, Danny and Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons in 1995 to provide urban youth with access to the arts. So we asked the bold-faced names in attendance (which included Edward Norton, Melissa George, Gayle King, Mary J. Blige, Taraji P. Henson and Soledad O'Brien): How did you express yourself creatively when you were a kid?
Ed Norton:
I got turned on to theater very early. When I was very young, I had a theater teacher who was hugely inspirational to me — actually I still talk and get notes from them. I was 5 or 6 years old when I was first on stage. I didn't know [that I wanted to be an actor] for a long, long time, but I was always a fan.
Taraji P. Henson:
I would entertain my family and they would egg me on. They would sit on the sofa and say, "Go TJ!" And I could do anything: Cheer, a poem, recite lines from a movie that we had just seen. They were my audience.
Melissa George:
I was an artistic roller-skating champion. Wide skates. Four wheels. Costumes. I competed around the world. That was my passion. When I was four, I got a pair of skates for Christmas. I loved the fact that I had all these wheels under my feet and I could do all these tricks. I had routines. I was doing axels, salchows and double jumps. I was very proud of all the routines.
Russell Simmons:
I think music. Dance. I produced records when I was a kid. Before that, I liked to paint a lot.
Soledad O'Brien:
It is a little-known fact, but I was quite a accomplished flautist. I played flute and piccolo in the marching band from fourth grade until I graduated from high school. I was inspired to play the flute because I have a lot of brothers and sisters, and they all played the piano. I didn't want to play the piano. I can still play "Bolero."

with incomes greater than 130 percent of poverty. Low-income people also are at increased risk for high levels of both morbidity and mortality associated with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and cancer (HHS, 2000).
A previous Institute of Medicine report recommended that failure to meet Dietary Guidelines be used as a criterion to establish dietary risk in WIC (IOM, 1996). Since a criterion consists of an indicator and a cut-off point, this means that the committee had to examine the Dietary Guidelines (USDA/HHS, 2000) for potential indicators and cut-off points. Recognizing that there are 10 guidelines, the committee addressed whether any of the 10 should be excluded from consideration—either because they are covered by other WIC nutritional risk criteria or because the guideline does not include a basis for setting a discrete, measurable cut-off point.
The WIC Policy Memorandum 98-9, Nutrition Risk Criteria (FNB, 1998; see Appendix A), which presents the nutrition risk criteria currently allowed in WIC, those not allowed, and those in need of further review, was examined. Although criterion number 401, failure to meet Dietary Guidelines, is an allowed criterion, it has not been standardized across WIC state agencies. Instead, a state WIC agency may base the criterion used on the definitions currently in use by that agency. (This situation relates to the need for the study by this committee.)
Table 3-1 lists each of the 10 guidelines in abbreviated form, the committee's decision regarding its relevance to the committee's work, and the reason, in brief, for that decision. Further details are provided in the text that follows.
The principal advantage of the Dietary Guidelines as a basis for dietary risk criteria is that the guidelines were developed for Americans from all backgrounds as a means to promote health. There are several obstacles to developing criteria for failure to meet Dietary Guidelines:
The Dietary Guidelines are not intended for use for children under age 2 years; this restriction eliminates the use of the Dietary Guidelines for approximately 44 percent of the WIC population (USDA/HHS, 2000).

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Maleficent' Casts Spell at the Movies
We're knee-deep in the summer movie season and the hits just keep on coming. Despite mixed buzz, 'Maleficent' opened very strong, not coming close to the massive numbers of the past few weekends, but certainly holding its own. However, the success of Disney's latest live action effort meant that the weekend's other big release, Seth MacFarlane's 'A Million Ways to Die in the West,' fared less well.

The latest incident involves a bachelor party in Charleston, South Carolina, which Murray crashed to deliver a truly incredible speech.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Rules
The Memorial Day weekend brought with it the third Marvel superhero movie of 2014 and like 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' opened to over $90 million at the box office. Sure, people online keep on wondering if audiences are getting tired of comic book films, but the box office keeps on saying otherwise.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Godzilla' is King
Everyone expected 'Godzilla' to take the number one spot at the box office this weekend, but few people saw it doing business that rivals 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.'
'Godzilla' didn't just win the box office this weekend, it conquered it, proving that after all of these years, the king of the monsters is still a massive draw.
'Blade Runner 2′ Seeking Harrison Ford's Return

Like Sitting in the Middle of the Movie Theater? That's Gonna Cost You Extra Now
Movie theaters tickets have gotten steadily more expensive over the years, but this takes the proverbial cake: a Canadian theater chain has announced a new program where moviegoers will have to pay a surcharge to sit in the middle seats of each row. You'll soon have to pay an additional $2-$3 to sit in the "prime" seats, ensuring that you'll have the (supposed) best view of the screen and that you'll be isolated from all of the riffraff in the cheap seats.
'Harry Potter' Spinoff 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' Arriving November 2016

We already knew that original Potter Author J.K. Rowling would be making her screenwriting debut with upcoming spinoff film 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' but now we know when we'll be able to see the movie!
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Neighbors' Moves in, Takes Over the Neighborhood
It turns out that 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' didn't need the Sinister Six to bring it down.
All that was required was Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and a very funny marketing campaign. 'Neighbors' not only opened at No. 1 at the box office, but it derailed its super-powered competition so dramatically that it may be difficult for it to fully recover.
'SNL' Invites You to a 'Bikini Beach Party'
'SNL' is frequently at its best when it decides to go full gonzo and last night's episode featured a sketch that represents the show at its weirdest. Presented as a screening of an old '60s surfer movie called 'Bikini Beach Party,' the sketch features Taran Killam and guest host Charlize Theron as young lovers in a campy musical who decide to share a romantic moment on the beach ... next to the methane-filled corpse of a dead whale.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Swings Into First Place
As expected, 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' opened the summer movie season in style, overcoming mixed reviews to dominate the top 10 and cause every other film's weekend gross to tumble.
Coming weeks will see if it can do the business of the other films in the franchise, but this is a strong start to what looks to be a jam-packed summer.
Everything You Need to Know About the New 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Cast
It's happened: they've officially announced the cast of 'Star Wars: Episode 7.' We knew that original trilogy stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher would be returning to the roles that made their careers, but it's the new cast members that have us really excited. It's going to be nice to see Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa reunited on the big screen, but it's going to be truly exciting to see what characters director J.J. Abrams will create from scratch.
The new cast members are a fantastic combo of established character actors, on-the-rise stars, living legends and complete unknowns. But, just in case you aren't familiar with them we've assembled a basic primer. Here's what you need to know about each of the new additions to the 'Star Wars' universe!

On Another Subject...
I've been having issues loading the Spirit 23 on the trailer at the boat ramp. I just recently found out why...
With the engine & battery on the starboard side of the boat, & me at the same side with the engine controls. The boat was leaning over. Hardly noticeable but due to the shoal keel being under water 2 ft while loading it was way over to the port side & not lining up with the trailer keel slot. A couple of times I pulled the boat up & it leaned over due to the keel being outside the slot on the trailer entirely! Recently I've just installed a 4 stroke Mercury 9.9 that is wayyy heavier than the 9.9 2 stroke that was on there, the problem would be much worse but... Here's the solution!
The engine weighs 125 Lbs. I mounted it a little bit closer to the center of the boat than the 2 stroke was. But here is the main thing. I had an Optima blue top deep cycle battery on the same starboard side, these suckers are 60 lbs ea! So my plan is to buy another one & mount them both on the port side. Since I moved the battery to the other side there is a difference of 120 lbs, and with another one added that brings it to 180 lbs difference from what it is now. I also turned the cockpit fuel compartment into an ice box that drains into the cockpit drains, & moved the 12 gal tank (now integral) to below the cockpit floor both for better C of G. and a larger easier to fill tank. Which should help as well.

Katy Perry is hit or miss with me. I saw her live early in her career and loved her, but the costumes and sets got to be a little too much for me. Her performance on the Italian X-Factor, however, is amazing. It reminds me of classic Katy. Her dress is still quirky, but it's not overdone. And her voice is fantastic!

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Another statement game. Another statement win.
Jordan Parker scored the 1,000-point of her career, Jenna Burdette became the school's all-time leading scorer and the Eastern girls basketball team rolled to a 70-38 victory over Olentangy Liberty at the Pickerington Central Prep Shoot Out held Saturday night on the PHSC campus in Fairfield County.
The Lady Eagles (12-0) never trailed in the contest, as the guests stormed out to an 8-0 lead two minutes into regulation before securing a 14-5 edge after one quarter of play.
The Lady Patriots (9-5) — who went over six minutes without a field goal to start the game — pulled to within five points on three separate occasions in the second canto, thanks in large part to hitting four trifectas and a 6-of-7 shooting performance during that span.
EHS, however, opened up its 26-21 lead with a 12-4 surge over the final three minutes of the first half — allowing the Green and Gold to secure a 38-25 cushion at the break. OLHS was never closer the rest of the way.
The two individual milestones came during the final minute of second quarter. Burdette drilled a trifecta from the left wing with 42 seconds left, allowing the Dayton signee to surpass Dennis Eichenger as the school's most prolific scorer. Eichenger's record of 1,486 career points has also stood for close to 40 years.
The second accomplishment came just before the buzzer, as Parker hauled in a long pass on a fast break and gained control of herself before releasing a five-footer from the left block. Parker's field goal allowed her to become the eighth girl in program history to reach quadruple digits for a career.
Parker — an Alderson Broaddus signee — spoke about what it meant to join the likes of Burdette, Jessica Karr, Jessica Brannon, Valerie Karr, Morgan Weber, Erin Weber and Kasey Turley on such a distinguished list.
"First off, I couldn't have done this without my teammates. They've been here with me this whole time, and this is as much about them as it is me. It's also kind of nice to know that it's done," Parker said. "It's humbling to join those other great players on the wall, but it's even better that this happened in a win."
Parker entered the game needing six points to reach the 1K milestone, while Burdette needed 15 points to tie Eichenger on the all-time scoring list. Parker had knowledge of what she needed coming in, but the daughter of EHS coach John Burdette did not.
"I had no idea because dad told me during a timeout. He said 'congratulations, you just became the school's all-time leading scorer on that last basket.' That was it," Jenna said. "I know it's a big deal and it is pretty cool, but honestly, I'm just glad we won."
Eastern made 14-of-29 shot attempts in the first half, which included a 5-of-8 effort from behind the arc. The guests also outrebounded Olentangy Liberty by a 13-10 margin, including a 4-0 edge on the offensive glass.
OLHS made 7-of-13 shots in the opening 16 minutes, including a 5-of-8 performance from three-point range. The Lady Patriots also committed 10 turnovers by halftime, compared to four by EHS.
The Lady Eagles forced seven turnovers while going on a 19-6 charge in the third for a 57-31 advantage, then closed regulation with 13-7 spurt from its bench to wrap up the 32-point triumph — Eastern's largest lead of the night.
The Green and Gold finished the night 26-of-59 from the field for 44 percent, including an 8-of-19 effort from three-point range for 42 percent. EHS claimed a 31-20 advantage on the boards — including a 10-2 edge on the offensive end — and committed 13 turnovers overall.
Burdette — who sat out all of the fourth quarter — led the Lady Eagles with a game-high 23 points, followed by Parker with 13 markers. Katie Keller and Maddie Rigsby were next with nine points apiece, while Laura Pullins chipped in a team-high seven markers off the bench.
Erin Swatzel was next with five points, while Hannah Bailey and Hannah Barringer rounded out the scoring with two markers apiece. Eastern went 10-of-12 at the free throw line for 83 percent.
Olentangy Liberty — a Division I program with nearly eight times as many students as EHS — finished the evening 12-of-35 overall from the field for 34 percent, including a 5-of-13 effort from behind the arc for 38 percent. The hosts committed 22 turnovers and made 9-of-18 charity tosses for 50 percent.
Kristen Levering and Madison King each paced the Lady Patriots with 10 points, followed by Alera Fisher with five points and Lauren Hafer with four markers.
Following the game, sixth-year EHS coach John Burdette spoke about the win and all the events that led up to the end result.
"We had a good team effort tonight. We had eight players score and we were pretty good on the defensive end of the floor," Burdette said. "It was good to play against someone that was bigger than us, to be honest. We were able to get some good experience from this one and the younger girls continued to show improvement. It was just a good night for us overall.
"It's very rare to see two kids from one class both reach 1,000 points for a career. Those two — like my other three seniors — have always been good ball players, and I'm really proud of them for what they've been able to accomplish."
Eastern — which ended the weekend with a school-best ranking of No. 3 in the Division IV AP poll — is off to its best start in four years with this senior class.

McCain Finds the Right Wingman
And she's a woman.
Sep 15, 2008, Vol. 14, No. 01 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
The statement said more about the Obama campaign's inability to respond to Palin than it did about Palin.
Jim VandeHei and John Harris, top editors at Politico, which does as much to shape conventional wisdom these days as the New York Times, had initially called McCain's pick of Palin "desperate." After the speech, they wrote that while the pick was "risky . . . in the space of one 36-minute speech by Palin, McCain proved that his choice was not a lapse into temporary (or even permanent) insanity."
A longtime McCain adviser points to the Palin selection as one of two "pivot points" in McCain's run for the presidency. The first came when he rejected his campaign team's advice to move away from his support of the war in Iraq in the summer of 2007.
With the nomination in hand, McCain decided that he wanted his vice-presidential selection to be bold and leaned toward picking Joe Lieberman. But after an extensive look at the practical realities of selecting Lieberman and listening to the arguments for and against taking that dramatic step, McCain realized it wouldn't work. He turned his sights to three other candidates: Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, and Sarah Palin. Romney was always a default candidate, but never a likely pick. Pawlenty had several backers among McCain's top advisers and, though McCain likes Pawlenty, he saw the pick as too conventional. There was a bold if risky choice remaining: Sarah Palin.
McCain had been impressed by Palin during a 15-minute conversation back in February and spoke to her again on August 24. She did not have a strong advocate among McCain's top advisers, and more than one cautioned him about the risks of picking someone with such limited experience. And as he had on Iraq, McCain listened to that advice, considered the politically safe choice, and then rejected it in favor of something bolder and riskier.
The early results have been promising, and McCain's team is confident that she will be a major asset over the next two months.
"You do not get to 80 percent approval by not being a good politician," said a senior McCain adviser. "I don't care how red your state is or how blue it is--if it's Alaska or California--you don't get to 80 percent without being good."
Palin will spend much of her time over the next eight weeks in small towns in battleground states. McCain advisers believe that the overwhelming media coverage over her first week has made her quite a draw and that average Americans will flock to someone who represents their sensibilities and their views.

Facebook page reveals British spymaster's Holocaust-denier tie
The things we've learned from Facebook now include, according to a report in London's Mail tabloid, lots of personal details about the new head of MI6, Britain's once-very-very-secret foreign-intelligence service. As recounted by The New York Times, it seems Lady Shelley Sawers, the wife of diplomat and spy Sir John Sawers, maintained a publicly accessible Facebook page that featured pictures of Sir John in a Speedo at the beach, the address of the couple's London flat, and information about their children. (That's not nothing: There's a Cold War thriller by Frederick Forsyth, if we recall correctly, in which the Commies kidnap the U.S. president's son and use him as blackmail.) Left unmentioned in the Times piece is an even more interesting detail: It seems Lady Sawers' brother, Hugo Haig-Thomas, a former diplomat, these days works as a researcher—for prominent Holocaust denier David Irving. "I am interested in history, particularly German history, and I was engaged to carry out research for Irving," Haig-Thomas told the Mail. "I have also attended several of his talks, but I do not necessarily share his views." So if Haig-Thomas doesn't necessarily share Irving's views, what does he do research on? The Mail's answer: "A recent post by Mr Haig-Thomas on Irving's website includes a translation of the testimony of a German officer who claimed to have built fake gas chambers at Sachsenhausen concentration camp on Soviet orders."

Duncan Lamont Clinch
Duncan Lamont Clinch (April 6, 1787 – October 28, 1849) was an American army officer and served as a commander during the First and Second Seminole Wars. He also served in the United States House of Representatives, representing Georgia.
Born in North Carolina, Clinch was a career soldier serving primarily on frontier posts when the First Seminole War broke out in 1816. While commanding forces in southern Georgia, Colonel Clinch was ordered by General Andrew Jackson to attack Seminole positions at Negro Fort, an abandoned British fort along the Apalachicola River which had become a safe haven for escaped slaves, and recover runaway slaves in hiding at the fort.
Supported by gunboats, Clinch's attack on the outpost caused a major incident when an explosion, resulting from naval artillery hitting the fort's powder magazine, resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Seminoles and slaves, contributing to the beginning of the First Seminole War.
"I had been taught when living at St. Augustine to regard General Clinch as a strict unfeeling disciplinarian but I learned how good men are often maligned. To me he was the reverse, for his bearing was most fatherly, always available to others and beaming with kindness. Picture the image of an old gray-haired man of 5 ft. 10 inches, of muscular build, weighing over 250 pounds, sitting upon the dirt floor, giving counsel and comfort to a poor dying private soldier. That was the true General Duncan L. Clinch, called by his contemporary officers The Spartan General. His ways were plain and simple, living in a tent like all the other soldiers, excepting he had a bed and mattress to sleep upon. His food was plain and many times I saw him dining with his staff on pork and beans, occasionally getting a beef day like the rest of us. Now and then he would have an extra dish of Indian Corn. He only drank water and many times I fetched a pitcher for him from the large round pond or spring outside the Camp. When we lived at the Driver's house, I lived with him, my medicine chest being close to his door. I was the first he saw on rising in the morning and the last at night and when we were in the field, my Hospital tent was immediately in front of the General's. So plain were his habits that he was no burden to the Army for even when on the move his only requisition was a campstool. Other Generals such as Scott required a band of music, with a company of professional cooks and servants in attendance." Steward John Bemrose Second Seminole War 1865.
Clinch would also see service during the Second Seminole War serving with Major Francis L. Dade before his death in 1849 in Macon, Georgia.
He died 4 Dec 1849 at Milledgeville, GA, after a long struggle with erysipelas.[1]
Clinch County, Georgia was named for Clinch.[2]
Fort Clinch (and Fort Clinch State Park) on Amelia Island, Florida is named for Clinch. The Fort is at 2601 Atlantic Avenue, Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034.
Duncan Lamont Clinch married three times, first to Elizabeth Houstoun,[3] then to Eliza Bayard McIntosh,[4] finally to Sophia Hume Clinch,[5] to whom he was married at the time of his death.[6]
His son, Colonel Duncan Lamont Clinch Jr., commanded the 4th Georgia Cavalry CSA during the American Civil War. This unit fought at the Battle of Olustee in Florida, and also in the Atlanta campaign later in 1864.
He was also the father-in-law of Robert Anderson (Civil War), commander of Fort Sumter.
Another son, Captain Nicholas Bayard Clinch (1832 - 1888), was commander of "Clinch's Light Battery", or as "Clinch's Artillery Company", a division of older brother Duncan's 4th Georgia Volunteer Cavalry CSA and an inventor.[7][8]

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
I would have been happier with just KH & KH II HD Collection...
instead of the original, Final Mix etc
I feel the core of the series is comprised of KH & KH II, so I felt if they were going to do a remake, stick with the games that were on the PS2 that majority of fans recognize, but hey that's just me.
I wanted both KH and KH II, HD cuz now it's just going to be awkward lol, how/when are they going to release KH II. from what I understand it still not confirmed if we're getting a copy here in NA, so maybe some things to ponder..
Why wouldn't you want Final Mix? As long as they translated it, it would just be an enhanced version of the original, as it was meant to be as opposed to how they initially released it...
Gum-Gum Gummi Ship: Blueprint Active!
"The show where everything's made up and the points don't matter! Let's have some fun!"
FWIW, I wouldn't want the Final Mix releases supplanting the originals either, because they're hacks made after the fact. Not that KH's original story was Pulitzer material, never that, but they wedged in excuses for the latest coder's favorite notion or an unrelated boss fight, and the story attached is justification, not illumination.
I can live with E.T.'s police force bearing walkie-talkies rather than assault rifles, but Guido did not shoot first, if ya know what I mean. ;j
More important, to myself at least, the Final Mix (like the subsequent series releases) doesn't respect the thoughtful design evidenced in KH. If a player doesn't check behind a door, then maybe it should cost them and leave the red trinity count incomplete in Journal.
They wanna include both the original and the hacks, well, that's another matter, of course. :j (I'm one of those who waited for those dual-DVD Star Wars releases, BTW.)
To the TC, it's a good point, though I'd like to see them stick to a straight PS2-to-PS3 HD release at this stage, but worldwide and including ReCOM for everyone. Less cost and faster, with very little to redesign for a full console or to rewrite. (Which they will; they can't seem to stop themselves. You're welcome to prove me wrong, SE.)
Including KH-Days breaks the "release order" the games rely upon. And only makes more questions for us.

^ I don't understand. It's not like they are adding anything significant to the story, and its not like they are unprofessional mods, its an enhanced version of the game. The only thing they did was add to it. There are more bosses is you want them, more synthesis if you want it, more sidequests if you want them, and even extra equipment if you want that. The only thing that's mandatory is the Roxas battle in KH2FM, and people complained that it wasn't there in the first place. Both Final Mixes are all around better games. They literally have everything KH1 and KH2 did, and more.
The red trinity was moved...why? Considering those motivations might help with your understanding.
Mostly, approving the FM changes, however innocuous you may gauge them, also gives carte blanche approval to any changes they feel like making.
The tidbits surfacing show they are making signficant changes, along with strong hints SE may even be building for the exact same release schedule -- a quick JP release; a "finished" NA release, trickled out to the world; then a Final ReMix release. I would not be surprised if SE even went against tradition and specifically region-coded the Final ReMix for Japan only.
Thanks, but no thanks to the regional falderall. Remaster the originals, allow for high-quality scaling, but leave well enough alone.

On September 3, 2014, Halliburton settled its liability for $1.1 billion. On September 4, 2014, U.S. District Court Judge Carl Barbier in a one hundred fifty three page opinion ruled that the trial evidence demonstrated "gross negligence" and "reckless conduct" by BP in causing the Deepwater Horizon disaster. He found BP 67% at fault. He also ruled that Transocean and Halliburton were each guilty of negligence which contributed to the disaster. The penalty phase of the litigation will be tried in January, 2015. Mr. Cunningham continues active involvement in the MDL as a member of the PSC and as Class Counsel.

Investigators push ahead in Boston bombing probe
Sunday - 4/28/2013, 5:04pm EDT
Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) -- With the Boston marathon bombing suspect in a prison hospital, investigators are pushing forward in the U.S. and abroad to piece together the myriad details of a plot that killed three people and injured more than 260.
FBI agents have wrapped up a two-day search at a landfill near the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where 19-year-old suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was a sophomore. FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wouldn't say what investigators were looking for or whether they recovered anything from the landfill before the search ended Friday.
A federal law enforcement official not authorized to speak on the record about the investigation told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Friday that the FBI was gathering evidence regarding "everything imaginable."
Meanwhile, U.S. officials said the bombing suspects' mother had been added to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the April 15 attack -- a disclosure that deepens the mystery around the Tsarnaev family and marks the first time American authorities have acknowledged that Zubeidat Tsarnaeva was under investigation before the tragedy.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with joining with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, now dead, in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents.
Investigators have said it appears the brothers were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Two government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, said the CIA had Zubeidat Tsarnaeva's name added to the terror database along with that of her son Tamerlan after Russia contacted the agency in 2011 with concerns that the two were religious militants.
About six months earlier, the FBI investigated mother and son, also at Russia's request, one of the officials said. The FBI found no ties to terrorism. Previously U.S. officials had said only that the FBI investigated Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
In an interview from Russia, Tsarnaeva said Friday that she has never been linked to terrorism.
"It's all lies and hypocrisy," she said from Dagestan. "I'm sick and tired of all this nonsense that they make up about me and my children. People know me as a regular person, and I've never been mixed up in any criminal intentions, especially any linked to terrorism."
Tsarnaeva faces shoplifting charges in the U.S. over the theft of more than $1,624 worth of women's clothing from a Lord & Taylor department store in Natick in 2012.
Earlier this week, she said she has been assured by lawyers that she would not be arrested if she traveled to the U.S., but she said she was still deciding whether to go. The suspects' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, said that he would leave Russia soon for the United States to visit one son and lay the other to rest.
A team of investigators from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow questioned both parents in Russia this week.
Late this week, Dzhohkar Tsarnaev was taken from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was recovering from a throat wound and other injuries suffered during an attempt to elude police, and was transferred to the Federal Medical Center Devens, about 40 miles from Boston, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The facility, at a former Army base, treats federal prisoners.
"It's where he should be; he doesn't need to be here anymore," said Beth Israel patient Linda Zamansky, who thought his absence could reduce stress on bombing victims who have been recovering at the hospital under tight security.
Two college buddies of his -- Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev -- have been interviewed at length, twice, by FBI agents and have cooperated fully, said Kadyrbayev's lawyer, Robert Stahl, a former federal prosecutor.
They were detained April 20 after being questioned in connection with the attacks, but are not suspects, Stahl said. They are being detained at a county jail in Boston for violating their student visas by not regularly attending classes, he said.
The two, both students from Kazakhstan, had nothing to do with the attack and had seen no hints that their friend harbored any violent or terrorist sympathies, Stahl said.
Meanwhile, New York's police commissioner said the FBI was too slow to inform the city that the Boston Marathon suspects had been planning to bomb Times Square days after the attack at the race.
Federal investigators learned about the short-lived scheme from a hospitalized Dzhokhar Tsarnaev during a bedside interrogation that began Sunday night and extended into Monday morning, officials said. The information didn't reach the New York Police Department until Wednesday night.
"We did express our concerns over the lag," said police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
The FBI had no comment Friday.
Sullivan reported from Washington. Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Rodrique Ngowi in Boston, Colleen Long in New York and Ted Bridis, Pete Yost and Julie Pace in Washington.
