METAIRIE, La. An argument at a party led to a shooting that left a Metairie man lying on the side of the road Saturday morning, according to Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand.
Cody Yelverton, 23, and Duane Croissant, 18, have been arrested in connection with the shooting death of Robert Mercadel, Jr., 26, whose body was found near his home by a driver around 4:30 a.m. The driver called 911 to report the finding.
Detectives conducted interviews and learned that the shooting stemmed from an altercation in Kenner, LA Cody Yelverton is said to have pulled a gun out and threatened Mercadal during a party on October 29, 2010.
Later that same night, the arrested suspects and the victim were riding in a vehicle near the 100 block of Hesper Ave in Metairie when the altercation escalated. It was at that time that Yelverton, while seated in the passenger seat of the vehicle, took out a weapon and fired it at Mercadal, striking him in the upper body, according to Normand.
Deputies said Croissant, who was driving the vehicle, assisted Yelverton in removing Mercadal from the back seat and placing him in the 300 block of Metairie Lawn. Investigators were called to the scene the morning of October 30, 2010 after the body was discovered.
Normand said both Yelverton and Croissant admitted to their participation in the Homicide Investigation.
Yelverton was arrested for one count of Second Degree Murder and is presently incarcerated at the Jefferson Parish Correction Center.
Duane Croissant was located at his residence in St. Rose La. He was arrested as a fugitive from Jefferson Parish and is awaiting transfer to Jefferson Parish where he will be arrested on one count of Second Degree Murder.

Caron Le 3ème Homme (1985) Akiko Kanei Fougère
•Top Notes: Anise, Bergamot, Fruit Notes, Lavender, Rosemary •Middle Notes: Carnation, Clary Sage, Geranium, Jasmine, Rose •Base Notes: Amber, Cedar, Moss, Musk, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Vanilla
A fougère with some chypré overtones. At times I think this is understated; at others, simply well-mannered. Definitely not loud. The only thing it reeks of is elegance. The fruit is there to enrich the other notes, but it's the aromatic nature of Le 3ème Homme that dominates. Lavender, rosemary and clary sage are the main players in that aspect of it. Clary sage in particular is the soft muscatel note which gives this its distinct character. Very good for daytime and casual wear, but also very much suited to the office.

Bellamy: No Man City pressure because of Mancini arrival
Craig Bellamy has denies Manchester City players are under more pressure at Eastlands following the arrival of Roberto Mancini.
"I have heard people saying we are all on trial now that Roberto Mancini has taken over at City," the 30 year old told the Daily Mirror.
"But at a top club, you are always on trial. If you don't play well, there will be somebody there to come in and take your place.
"I play for my three kids more than anyone else. I want to try to set them an example.
"All I can do is give my best and see where that takes me."
While he is a fans' favourite at Eastlands, he also revealed that he gets spurred on when opposition supporters boo him during a game.
"When fans boo me, it gives me something extra," he added. "It gives me such a lift.
"It makes me want to embarrass a player or score a good goal or close down when I don't need to close down.
"My aim then is to try and upset the fans as much as I can.
"Bravery is getting on the ball and showing the crowd you are not afraid to make a mistake. That's what I try and live by.
"If I am having a bad time, I get on the ball as much as I can. Me being annoyed is nothing personal.
"It's what gets me motivated. I've tried to be quiet and if I'm quiet with my mouth, I'm quiet with my feet."

Whole Wheat Challah Stuffing with Dried Cranberries and Sage
You can use any leftover bread for this recipe, but I like the health bonus of using whole wheat challah and it adds a nice nutty flavor that compliments the chestnuts in this dish. Don't save this recipe for Thanksgiving, it is really fabulous any time.
- Prep Time : 10 minutes min
- Cook Time : 50 minutes min
- Ready Time : 1 hour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 (3.5-ounce) bags Gefen roasted chestnuts, halved
- 2 cups dried cranberries
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 3 teaspoons dried
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried
- 8 cups (1-inch) cubed whole wheat challah
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a 2.75-quart baking dish and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Sauté onion and celery for 8 to 10 minutes. Add chestnuts, cranberries, sage and parsley and cook 2 minutes more. Stir in challah, chicken stock, salt and pepper and remove from heat.
- Transfer stuffing to greased baking dish and cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes more or until lightly browned.

Looks like a really nice simple recipe, thank you. Just wanted to mention with the chicken stock, the designation should be meat, not pareve. Happy Thanksgiving!
Great catch! Love that you are paying such close attention
We'll fix it. Keep on reading and checking up on us. Happy Turkey Day.
Can you use the chicken stock by manishewitz. Can't wait to meet you on Monday in Bergenfield.
My husband just bought me your cookbook as a present, and I am enjoying it immensely. I wanted to make this dish, dressed up (in onions) for the Purim seudah, and I wanted to know if there is any way to make this ahead, or if the stuffing will get soggy/onions will get yucky. I'd love to put together the stuffing/cook the whole thing on Wednesday instead of having to do it on Purim itself.

appear to be directed at "jump starting" a major new capacity-building initiative in a crosscutting element. These efforts will have few short-term deliverables but significant long-term benefits.
In revising the strategic plan there are a number of ways that the CCSP could address the major inconsistencies between the activities described in Chapters 2 and 3 and the stated goals for the CCRI. One approach would be to revise the objectives of the CCRI to be more consistent with the apparent objectives mentioned above for the activities currently included in Chapters 2 and 3 of the draft plan. This revision would tend to de-emphasize the importance of decision support within the CCRI. An alternative approach would be move those activities in Chapters 2 and 3 of the draft plan that are not directly linked to near-term decision making to the relevant GCRP sections of the plan. Decision support activities would then likely become the primary focus of the CCRI. The committee believes that it is important for the program to correct these inconsistencies while maintaining a strong emphasis on near-term decision support in the CCRI.
In addition to addressing these inconsistencies, the revised strategic plan also needs to more clearly describe how the research activities included in the GCRP support the decision support needs of the CCRI. The revised plan should clearly describe how the program intends to enable the transition of research results into operations and decision making. Indeed, there should be a "rolling linkage" between the two programs, with CCRI objectives periodically redefined as a result of new scientific input from GCRP.
Recommendation: The revised strategic plan should: (1) present clear goals for the CCRI and ensure that its activities are consistent with these goals; (2) maintain CCRI's strong emphasis on support for near-term decisions as an ongoing component of the program; and (3) include an explicit mechanism to link GCRP and CCRI activities.

House Strong
|House Strong of Harrenhal
|Coat of arms
| A tripartite pale, blue, red, and green, on a white field
(Argent, a pale tierced per pale azure, gules, and vert)
|Current Lord
|the Riverlands
|House Tully
|Died out
House Strong of Harrenhal was a noble house in the Riverlands. Their seat was Harrenhal. Like the other families who have been in possession of Harrenhal, their family died out.[1] According to semi-canon sources they blazoned their arms with a tripartite pale blue, red, and green on white.[2]
- See also Harrenhal
House Strong came into possession of Harrenhal after House Towers had died out. They held possession over Harrenhal until 131 AC, when Lord Larys Strong, the last of his line, was executed. After the house became extinct, possession of Harrenhall went to House Lothston.
During the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, Ser Lucamore Strong was elevated to the Kingsguard. He was however caught breaking his vows after fathering sixteen children. He was gelded and sent to join the Night's Watch. There is a song about Lucamore.
During the Dance of the Dragons, the House's wealth was "not-inconsiderable" according to Archmaester Gyldayn. Lord Larys "Clubfoot" sat on the green council while his castellan and kinsman Ser Simon held Harrenhal against the blacks. That the House supported the green cause may mean that Rhaenyra Targaryen's sons were indeed not those of Harwin Strong, or at least that their affair ended badly.[3]
Larys was one of the conspirators behind the poisoning of Aegon II after he refused to surrender to the Riverlands army that had defeated Borros Baratheon, who led the last "green" army defending the capital from the blacks. During the Hour of the Wolf, Larys was arrested for betraying his king chose death over the Wall. Thus, he was executed by Lord Cregan Stark, Hand of the King for the newly crowned Aegon III, thus ending the main branch of House Strong.[4]

- Ser Harwin Strong, Breakbones, was the rumored paramour of Rhaenyra Targaryen and the supposed father to her three sons, Jace, Luke, and Joffrey Velaryon. Said to be the strongest man in the Seven Kingdoms in his day. Died at Harrenhal in a mysterious fire.[6][3]

Objective: We constructed a passive cigarette-smoking model with rats to investigate the molecular mechanism of intervertebral disc degeneration, and foundby gene expression analysis that passive cigarette smoking stimulated the stress-responsive signal pathway and inhibited the apoptotic pathway. In this study, to clarify that these changes were derived from either nucleus pulposus (NP) or annulus fibrosus (AF), we separately collected NP and AF and quantitatively analyzed gene expression. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from NP and AF of the lumbar intervertebral discs from rats which were kept in a smoking box for 4 and 8 weeks. Gene expression was measured by real-time PCR of cDNA synthesized from the total RNA. Results: Stress-responsive protein, heat shock protein 70, was expressed similarly in NP and AF, and wasupregulated to the same degree after 8 weeks of passive cigarette smoking. The protein tyrosine phosphatase gene was expressed more strongly in AF than in NP, and wasupregulated after 8 weeks of smoking in both tissueparts. The type II collagen and aggrecan genes were predominantly expressed in AF and NP, respectively. Conclusion: These results indicate that passive cigarette smoking stimulates both NP and AF, and induces the stress-responsible genes such as heat shock protein 70 and protein tyrosine phosphatase in both.

Aside from the fact that Invasion feels less like a Star Trek title than it does a "Colony Wars" update, it delivers the goods for a shooter: fast, furious, and addictive action.
While diehard Trekkies might be miffed, casual fans and space shooter freaks will love Invasion.
Other than slight pixelation in a few parts of the game, the graphics will leave you breathless and the sound is absolutely spectacular.

Clinical Social Worker: Job & Career Info
Read about the job duties of a clinical social worker. Explore educational and licensing requirements, in addition to salary and employment outlook, in order to make the right career decision.
Career Definition
Clinical social work involves serving people who need help with conditions and problems that are adversely affecting their lives. The National Association for Social Workers estimates that 37% of clinical social workers work in the mental health area, 13% in health and 13% in child and family services. These professionals work directly with clients and other agencies, and they are often employed by private, public and non-profit organizations.
How to Become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Required Education
A bachelor's degree is the minimum education required for a career in clinical social work. Most social workers have earned master's degrees in social work, psychology, sociology or a related field. An M.A. in Social Work generally takes two years to complete and requires up to 900 hours of supervised internship. Many social work positions require a state license which is gained through an exam process and additional supervised clinical experience.
Skills Required
The College Board describes how clinical social workers must be emotionally equipped to confront sickness, death and other difficult circumstances on a daily basis. This line of work also requires skilled oral and written communication with clients and peers from many different agencies. Successful social workers are ethical, professional and committed to serving others.
Career and Economic Outlook
Opportunities for all social workers are expected to increase strongly by 19% between 2012 and 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Jobs in under-served rural areas and positions working with the elderly or substance abusers are projected to increase the most. The BLS stated that the median salary among all social workers in 2012 was $44,200.
Alternative Career Options
While both social workers and psychologists counsel individuals with emotional and mental health issues, psychologists assess problems by using scientific methods, tests and observation techniques, and then use the data to create an effective treatment plan. They also analyze the brain to see how disorders can affect behavior. To work in this field, a doctorate degree in psychology is usually required and entrance into programs is competitive. In order to practice in a private, clinical setting, licensing is also required in all states, and professionals must pass an exam and obtain work experience in the field.
The BLS projected a 12% increase in employment of psychologists during the 2012-2022 decade. Counseling and clinical psychologists earned an average salary of $72,220, as reported by the BLS in 2012.
Social Service Manager
For those who want to assist the troubled and less fortunate in obtaining community and government services, becoming a social service manager is a possibility. These managers assess needs in the community and plan programs to help meet those needs. They hire staff, track budgets, implement services and analyze data that shows how effective a program is. A bachelor's degree in public administration, social work or a related field is generally required for employment, but many organizations prefer candidates with a master's degree and experience.
In May of 2012, the BLS estimated the average yearly salary for social services managers to be $64,460. Job opportunities for community and social service managers are predicted to grow by 21% between 2012 and 2022, according to BLS data.

Pieter Hugo
Photography by South African Pieter Hugo, from two absolutely stunning series called "The Hyenas and Other Men" and "Nollywood"... small slices of Nigerian life that I never even knew existed. A little bit about each series (via Dangerous Minds)...
"In the series "The Hyenas and Other Men," Hugo documents the Gadawan Kura' (hyena handlers/guides) who live in the shanty towns of Lagos, Nigeria and make a living by performing on the streets with hyenas that they've captured in the wild.
In the series "Nollywood", Hugo evokes aspects of Nigerian films in haunting photographs that recreate the surreality of cultures intermingling - Hollywood pop iconography (particularly horror imagery) mashed-up with Africa's long and deep traditions of myth-making."

Like so many nations that have recently gone through major restructuring over the past 10 years, Serbia is looking to its young entrepreneurial minds to shape a new nation as it marches toward economic recovery. However, while Serbia has embarked upon several structural reforms—especially in the banking sector and in employment regulations—it has yet to successfully tackle corruption, bureaucracy and a weak judicial system. These are holding back its economic potential.
It is true that governments cannot be ignored by entrepreneurs—they set the rules and incentives. But it should not be surprising that vibrant entrepreneurs typically show, at best, nonchalance toward government. Most government agencies across the globe remain inefficient and cumbersome—especially when you compare even a well-funded government program to a collection of bootstrapping startups.
I hope that like me, you have had the chance to witness the burgeoning phenomenon of entrepreneurship curriculum in American higher education. More and more, students have the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship on campus. In the process of creating entrepreneurship programs, universities have become more entrepreneurial themselves. This is great news. Colleges and universities are natural incubators of creativity and new ways of looking at things. And this new reality might mean that colleges and universities are better preparing students for success in the American economy where more professionals need to make their own jobs.
It is time to implement new methods to shake our economy out of this lingering spell of slow growth (a disappointing 2% rate) and high unemployment (hovering around 9%). And while the large federal budget deficit does not leave much room for implementing more traditional economic remedies, the Kauffman Foundation—at a press conference this morning here at the National Press Club in Washington, DC—suggested it is time for legislation. Startup legislation.
It has been a big week for entrepreneurship in Indonesia. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Bali on July 21 to take part in an ASEAN Regional Entrepreneurship Summit (RES) held by the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia and the Global Entrepreneurship Program Indonesia (GEPI). The theme of the 3-day RES was: "Emerging Entrepreneurs: The Next Big Chapter."
In 2009, the Irish economy underwent one of the deepest recessions in the EU, with its economy shrinking by as much as 10%. Late in 2010, Ireland received an €85bn financial rescue package. Clearly, the winner of Ireland´s general elections held on Sunday (according to polls so far Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny) will have a lot on his shoulders. However, if the past is any indication, Ireland has the potential to resurge economically.
In his 2011 State of the Union Address a couple of weeks ago, President Obama talked about the importance of innovation to create the jobs and industries of the future. A few days later, the White House released a new innovation strategy as part of the President's plan to "win" that future. This strategy said: "America's future economic growth and international competitiveness depend on our capacity to innovate. We can create the jobs and industries of the future by doing what America does best – investing in the creativity and imagination of our people. To win the future, we must out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world." A few days later the White House, in partnership with the Kauffman Foundation and Case Foundation, launched a Startup America initiative aimed at doing just this.
I report in today from Shanghai where preparations are underway for a major global summit on entrepreneurship at the end of March. The recent events in Egypt have put a spotlight on the role of a younger, well-educated generation of entrepreneurs peacefully channeling expressions of economic freedom. China has been miles ahead in reconciling a strong government with messy entrepreneurialism and offers some useful lessons for Arab nations as they grapple with enabling, rather than blocking, their citizens under the age of 25.

Full AVCA Preseason Top 25
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - 2013 BIG EAST Tournament runner-up Creighton is ranked No. 23 in the preseason Top 25 poll released Monday afternoon by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), while defending BIG EAST Tournament champion Marquette is among teams receiving votes.
The Bluejays finished outside the top 25 in the AVCA's final poll of 2013, while the Golden Eagles were ranked 23rd. Both teams earned invitations to last year's NCAA Tournament and won first-round matches.
Creighton, which finished 2013 with a 23-9 mark, received 184 total points for 23rd, while Marquette collected 102 points to sit fourth amongst squads just outside the top 25.
The Bluejays open their 2014 slate Friday, Aug. 29 against Lipscomb at the Kansas Invitational. The Golden Eagles wait a day and will play their opener Saturday, Aug. 30 versus UC Santa Barbara as part of the Rams Volleyball Classic hosted by Colorado State.

A football game isn't worth losing your life over, so please be careful. There has been an outbreak of fan violence this year that has been very sad to see. It is better to walk away from the situation before it escalates into something more serious, like what happened below at the Georgia Dome. BREAKING: Ross @cavitt reported someone was either cut or stabbed outside the georgia dome after a scuffle as the crowd was leaving stadium — WSB-TV (@wsbtv) January 20, 2013 BREAKING: .@cavitt said the incident started with pepper spray. Man has been placed in an ambulance. Cut/stabbed in the throat. — WSB-TV (@wsbtv) January 20, 2013 BREAKING: Witnesses tell @rachelstockman a Falcons fan & a 49ers fan got into an arguement coming out of the dome. — WSB-TV (@wsbtv) January 20, 2013 BREAKING: Witnesses told @rachelstockman Falcons fan punched the 49ers fan, 49ers fan pulled a knife and cut/stabbed the Falcons fan. — WSB-TV (@wsbtv) January 20, 2013 Hopefully the fan is ok, but never throw a punch because you never know if someone has a gun or knife and won't be afraid to use it.

People would save more money in the bank if they were rewarded with occasional big prizes for doing so, a new study suggests. Economists with the National Bureau of Economic Research found that linking savings accounts with a lottery-driven cash prize boosted people's willingness to save for a longer period, even more so than did a smaller, guaranteed financial incentive.

There's neither coyness nor self-importance in Brokeback Mountain--just close, compassionate observation, deeply committed performances, a bone-deep feeling for hardscrabble Western lives. Few films have captured so acutely the desolation of frustrated, repressed passion.
Brings history to life with an uncanny sense of realism.
Once again, the Pixar wizards have pushed the animation envelope in unexpected directions and come up with a winner. Wondrously inventive, funny and poignant, WALL*E is part sci-fi adventure, part cautionary fable, part satire and part love story, which may be the best and most improbable part of all.
As he did in "The English Patient," Minghella artfully weds movie-movie romanticism with a dark historical vision. The man knows how to cast a spell.
In Sideways, Payne has created four of the most lived-in, indelible characters in recent American movies. This deliciously bittersweet movie makes magic out of the quotidian.
This is comedy from the danger zone, and it will genuinely offend some folks who feel certain subjects are not to be laughed at. They'd best stay at home. Fans should be warned as well: Borat can make you laugh so hard it hurts.
At once elegant and sublimely silly, contemplative and gung-ho, balletic and bubble-gum, a rousing action film and an epic love story, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one bursting-at-the-seams holiday gift, beautifully wrapped by the ever-surprising Ang Lee.

The superrealist images beguile us with their bold wit, and the storytelling is so tight, urgent and inventive there doesn't seem to be a wasted moment. Which makes you wonder -- why can't scripts this clever be written for human beings?
The compositions, the editing, the lighting, the sound, the music: everything seems meticulously considered, conjuring up a hushed intimacy that instantly sucks you in.
The Movie Works. It has real passion, real emotion, real terror, and a tactile sense of evil that is missing in that other current movie dealing with wizards, wonders and wickedness.
The Departed is Scorsese's most purely enjoyable movie in years. But it's not for the faint of heart. It's rude, bleak, violent and defiantly un-PC. But if you doubt that it's also OK to laugh throughout this rat's nest of paranoia, deceit and bloodshed, keep your eyes on the final frames. Scorsese's parting shot is an uncharacteristic, but well-earned, wink.
If history is a battlefield, JFK has to be seen as a bold attempt to seize the turf for future debate. It is also "just" a movie, and one that for three hours and eight minutes of dense, almost dizzying detail, is capable of holding the audience rapt in its grip. [23 Dec 1991, p.50]

An inspired flight of fancy, an oddly poignant examination of the creative process, a rumination on adaptation (orchids to their environment, books to the screen and misfits like Charlie to life) and, in its ultimate irony, a story in which our hero learns a life-altering lesson.
Lucky for us there are no ordinary circumstances in this smart, tasty adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel and it gets quirkier, funnier and sexier as it goes.
All-embracing--funny and silly and tender, full of fun scares and endless sight gags.

It's a passionate, serious, impeccably crafted movie tackling a subject Clooney cares about deeply: the duty of journalism to speak truth to power. It also happens to be the most compelling American movie of the year so far.
A hugely entertaining thriller shot through with dark shards of agony and paranoia. It takes nothing away from the original while delivering pleasures all its own.
A piece of spectacular silliness, but that's not meant with disrespect. The key word is spectacular.
An excruciatingly entertaining portrait of the filmmaking process that no Hollywood studio would ever allow to be shown. But Gilliam, bless his impish, obsessive heart, is anything but a Hollywood type.
The second installment was better than the first, and this one is best of all. It has spectacular action scenes and imaginary creatures, and it's by far the most moving chapter. The performances have deepened.
The great Spanish director's fourth triumph in a row--following "All About My Mother," "Talk to Her" and "Bad Education"--Volver (which means "coming back") flows effortlessly between peril and poignancy, the real and the surreal, even life and death.
Far from being a period piece, this love story/murder mystery/political thriller couldn't seem more timely.
A superbly taut and well-made thriller that jumps from Geneva to Rome, from Paris to Beirut, from Athens to Brooklyn, each lethal assignment staged with a mastery Hitchcock might envy.
This powerfully contained, painfully funny performance has to rank with the greatest work Nicholson's ever done -- This road movie gives you emotional whiplash, and you'll be glad you went along for the ride.
Judd Apatow is making the freshest, most honest mainstream comedies in Hollywood.
Courtney Love's performance as stripper Althea Leasure is an amazement. Funny, unfettered and almost scarily alive in front of a camera, she's the definition of a "natural."
Schnabel, screenwriter Ronald Harwood and Spielberg's great cinematographer Janusz Kaminski have found a way to take us inside Bauby's mind--his memories, his fantasies, his loves and lusts--transforming a story of physical entrapment and spiritual renewal into exhilarating images.
It's a bravura, all-stops-out, inexhaustibly inventive performance. I don't know how much was improvised, and how much comes from White's sharp screenplay, but Black may never again get a part that displays his mad-dog comic ferocity to such brilliant effect. He, and the movie, kick ass.
A miraculous movie. It will rattle both your head and heart

Leon Gast's remarkable film -- which is intercut with terrific recent interviews with eyewitnesses Norman Mailer and George Plimpton -- is about much more than one stupendous fight.
Depp is such a soulful presence he gives you a glimpse of this maniac's pain and pathos. Bonham Carter is extraordinary. She reinvents Mrs. Lovett from the inside out.
This powerful, lyrical meditation on Arenas's life achieves a kind of hallucinatory urgency as it leaps and twists through his life.

This brilliantly disturbing movie is constructed with surgical precision. Haneke lets no one off the hook least of all the viewer.
Eastwood takes the audience to raw, profoundly moving places. If you fear strong emotions, this is not for you. But if you want to see Hollywood filmmaking at its most potent, Eastwood has delivered the real deal.
It's not to be missed in any language. In a year that has given us such marvelous animated movies as "Ratatouille" and "Paprika," this vibrant, sly and moving personal odyssey takes pride of place.
Smart, generous, as subtle as it is expansive, this is storytelling of a rare order. Six hours may seem like a big investment, but the emotional pay-back is beyond price.
Infused with the bleak romanticism of Melville's gangster movies ("Le Samouraï," "Bob le Flambeur"), and deepened by his own experiences in the Resistance, this hard-bitten tribute to freedom fighters makes most current movies look flabby and undisciplined. Don't miss it.

Howl's Moving Castle has the logic of a dream: behind every door lie multiple realities, one more astonishing than the next.
There Will Be Blood is ferocious, and it will be championed and attacked with an equal ferocity. When the dust settles, we may look back on it as some kind of obsessed classic.
Harrowingly intense odyssey.
It's unprecedented, a sorrowful and savagely beautiful elegy that can stand in the company of the greatest antiwar movies.
The movie belongs to Hudson as the proud, self-destructive Effie. When she's center stage, Dreamgirls transports you to movie musical heaven.

No two-hour film could ever capture all the riches of McEwan's masterly novel. But Wright and Hampton's Atonement comes tantalizingly close, while adding sensual delights all its own.
Amazingly, it's not all the visual splendor or killer action sequences that elevate Spider-Man 2 above its predecessor and almost every superhero movie that has come before.

By the end of this white-knuckle movie, you stand in awe at the depth of man's will to survive. Touching the Void leaves you emotionally and physically spent, and grateful it was only a movie, not a mountain, you had to endure.

Eastwood is at his effortless, slyboots best and the film is as preposterous as it is delightful.
This powerful, precision-made movie offers hope as well -- an act of kindness from a German officer that saves the pianist's life, the music that sustains his soul.
For anyone who grew up worshiping at the shrine of Julie Christie, the notion that she could be playing a white-haired woman drifting into senility is a jolt to the system. But her radiance, beauty and talent are undiminished: she's hauntingly, heartbreakingly good.
It's a deliciously outrageous premise, and director Barry Levinson and writers David Mamet and Hilary Henkin know just how to spin it, savaging Washington and Hollywood with merciless wit. It's a hoot.
Anyone who cares about ravishing filmmaking, superb acting and movies willing to dive into the mystery of unconditional love will leave this dark romance both shaken and invigorated.
Traffic doesn't quite come to a full emotional boil at the end. Soderbergh is too knowing to offer easy solutions. But what a journey it takes us on: disturbing, exciting, completely absorbing.
What sets Jerry Maguire above any other romantic comedy this year is Crowe's writing. He captures the venal, high-stakes world of pro sports with deadly wit and an ex-journalist's sense of detail.

It's hard to believe this is von Donnersmarck's first feature. His storytelling gifts have the novelistic richness of a seasoned master.

By sticking resolutely to the facts of the most amazing rescue mission of all time, the movie builds tremendous suspense, even though most people will know how it came out.
A great horror movie is like a good shrink--and a lot cheaper, too. It purges us through petrification. That horror movie, thankfully, has arrived. It's called The Orphanage," and it is seriously scary.
The beauty of this extremely clever movie, directed with fleet, robust theatricality by John Madden, is how deftly it manages to work on multiple levels.
It has the feel of a classic coming-of-age story. It's the sleeper of the summer.
Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie of the summer--so funny, in fact, that you start laughing before the film itself has begun.
Filled with funny, gritty Tarantino lowlife gab and a respectable body count, but what is most striking is the film's gallantry and sweetness. Tarantino hits some new and touching notes with Grier and Forster.
Desplechin is an inspired impurist. His Christmas Tale is untidy, overstuffed and delicious: a genuine holiday feast.
The movie puts us in Maria's shoes, taking us step by suspenseful step through her physical and spiritual ordeal.
It sounds grimmer than it plays, thanks to Jenkins's sardonic, deadpan humor and the superb cast, who invest these damaged characters with rich, flawed, hilarious humanity. This bittersweet X-ray of American family dynamics may not be a Hallmark-card notion of a holiday movie, but it's one any son or daughter can take to heart.
World Trade Center celebrates the ties that bind us, the bonds that keep us going, the goodness that stands as a rebuke to the horror of that day. Perhaps, in the future, the times will call for more challenging, or polemical, or subversive visions. Right now, it feels like the 9/11 movie we need.
Forest Whitaker, uncorking the power that he usually holds in check, gives a chilling, bravura performance as Ugandan tyrant Idi Amin, whose bloody regime slaughtered more than 300,000 people. This intelligent, sometimes gruesome thriller is based on a novel by Giles Foden.
The images of war that Folman and his chief illustrator, David Polonsky, conjure up have a feverish, infernal beauty. Dreams and reality jumble together.

Face/Off is a summer movie extraordinaire: violent, imaginative, crazily funny and, oddly moving. Hollywood has finally wised up and let Hong Kong auteur John Woo strut his stuff in all its undiluted, over-the-top glory.
This is the most personal, deeply felt film from the gifted director of "Under the Sand" and "Swimming Pool." Ozon leaches his melodrama of all sentimentality, and moves us all the more.
There hasn't been a studio movie as unapologetically adult, sophisticated, and nuanced as Up in the Air in some time.
The true allure of Titanic is its invitation to swoon at a scale of epic moviemaking that is all but obsolete.

If the film has a problem, it's a kind of excess of goodness at the expense of imaginative excitement. The real hero is the psychiatrist, played with a riffing Jewish beat by Hirsch as a counterpoint to the tight Wasp rhythms of Conrad's family. There's a feeling of therapy more than revelation, but perhaps for our multifariously sick society therapy has become revelation.

Loach hurls us into the fracas, circa 1920, and creates such a vivid sense of the nuts and bolts of guerilla war you almost forget you are watching a period piece. Unlike the epic sweep of Neil Jordan's "Billy Collins," which spoke in a syntax closer to Hollywood's, "The Wind" doesn't paint over its political arguments with a patina of nostalgia.

Eastwood tells his haunting, sorrowful saga with such a sure, steady hand, only a very hardened cynic could fail to be moved.
Zaillian's meaty movie, at once bleak and hopeful, speaks volumes about the maddening distance between justice and the justice system.

Sometimes big, shiny objects gain our attention and distract us from what's really going on.
What the Saints have done in free agency isn't one of those times.
Jairus Byrd, the big-name safety the Saints signed right out of the gate, is more like the bow on the box full of players that has been New Orleans' grab bag of goodies this year.
It's what they've done after that that has been so, well, swell.
Pro Bowler Champ Bailey and bruising fullback Eric Lorig are among those brought in from the outside and should pay immediate dividends, what with Bailey's experience and Lorig's bruising blocking style.
Rafael Bush, Zach Strief and Ramon Humber are among those sticking around with new contracts, each keeping something in-house the Saints knew they had and needed.
Pierre Thomas had a contract renegotiated to keep him around longer, keeping around one of the NFL's most underrated players.
All of these are good moves, ones that bring in players who can immediately help while keeping around those who fill an important need.
And the positions of need left open, namely receiver, can be filled in May's NFL draft.
It's too early to actually grade what they've done; what players did with a former team earlier in their career won't necessarily be duplicated at new places of employment
But it's hard to see this offseason as being anything but successful for the Saints.
When it began, they had one safety on the roster. Now they've got four, including one of the game's best at taking the ball away.
When it began, they were in need of a right tackle. Now they've re-signed one who had the best season of his career in 2013 and already knows the playbook while having the trust of quarterback Drew Brees.
When it began, there were a handful of key role players the team would have been best keeping around and it did.
Even trading Darren Sproles to an NFC contender could turn out to be the perfect play in spite of his mismatch ability in New Orleans' offense; the Saints got a fifth-round draft pick in return and now have six picks in the first five rounds.
Championships certainly aren't won in March, April and May. They can become within reach, however, and the Saints have at the very least kept themselves in the running.

RECIPE - Homestyle Squash Compote (Doce de Abóbora Caseiro)
Some squashes are quite sweet in and of themselves, of course, but combining members of the squash family with sugar, honey or coconut milk is an old culinary tradition in Brazil, and for many Brazilians, abóbora (Portuguese for squash or pumpkin) is something seen more often on the dessert table or buffet than it is as a vegetable side dish.
Throughout Brazil, one of the oldest, most traditional (and easiest) ways to turn squash or pumpkin into a dessert is to cook it down to a thick puree, spice it with cinnamon and clove, then sweeten it with sugar and a splash of coconut milk. This recipe is so basic that Brazilians simple call it Doce de Abóbora, which means Squash Dessert or Squash Sweet. It's served at weekday family meals, and it's served on fancy dessert tables. It's popular with all economic classes in Brazil, as squashes are generally very cheap in Brazil, and it doesn't require expensive ingredients.
This recipe can be made with any type of winter squash - Hubbard, Butternut, Acorn, etc. It can also be made with pumpkin. Summer squashes (e.g. zucchini, pattypan) are not suitable as they contain too much water. It can be served warm or cold (though cold is more typically Brazilian). If you wish to make it a bit richer, pour a couple of tablespoons of coconut milk over the squash once you've put it into individual serving dishes.
RECIPE - Homestyle Squash Compote (Doce de Abóbora Caseiro)
Serves 6
2 lbs (1 kg) winter squash, any type, peeled and cored, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup coconut milk
3 cups granulated white sugar (more or less, to taste)
2 small sticks cinnamon
4 cloves
Put the squash into a large heavy saucepan,. Add a very small quantity of water (less than half a cup). Add the sugar and stir to mix. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. When the sugar has dissolved, add the cinnamon and cloves, and continue to cook, mixing and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook until the cubes of squash have become very tender.
When the squash is tender, using the same wooden spoon, begin to mash the cubes against the sides of the pan while continuing to cook over low heat. When all the squash is mashed and the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom and the sides of the pan, add the coconut milk and mix it in.
Cook for an additional two or three minutes only, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool. Can be served slightly warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Divide the mixture between six dessert dishes, and pour additional coconut milk over the puree if desired.
