Admission Requirements:
Combined program students must apply and be accepted at each school independently. Union Graduate College applications are usually submitted by spring of the first year at Albany Law School. Second-year Albany Law School students may apply for the joint degree program.
The joint J.D./M.B.A. with Union Graduate College combines a strong foundation in business theory with experience in practical business applications. The program draws extensively on the experience and potential of Capital Region businesses and reflects the needs of today's business community. The M.B.A. program culminates with a capstone course where students serve as consultants to companies and address real-world challenges by delivering a business plan with executionable solutions. Students also complete a graduate internship which enhances their business experience. In combination with the Albany Law School Juris Doctor, the M.B.A. provides excellent preparation for those who plan on careers as in-house corporate counsel, with law firms that represent business clientele, or other career paths that require complementary knowledge of law and business.
Albany Law School and Union Graduate College belong to a federation of private, independent institutions called Union University. Union University consists of Union Graduate College, Union College, Albany Law School, Albany Medical College, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and the Dudley Observatory. Each institution has its own governing board and is responsible for its own programs, however, the institutions share a number of joint programs.
The joint program allows students to "double count" courses—reducing the total time it takes to complete the two degrees—so both degrees are earned typically in four years. As a result, the cost of earning the two degrees is significantly less than the cost of earning the degrees separately. Union Graduate College accepts up to four Albany Law School courses toward the M.B.A. degree. In addition, Albany Law School will transfer in one term's worth of free electives from the M.B.A. courses taken at Union Graduate College, which allows the student to eliminate the last term at Albany Law School. Courses taken as an undergraduate may also be considered for M.B.A. course waiver. In total, Union Graduate College can waive up to eight courses toward the M.B.A.; four taken at Albany Law School and up to four based on undergraduate course work.
Combined-program students typically complete the first year full-time at Albany Law School. The second year is spent as a full-time student at Union Graduate College. Some students complete the M.B.A. requirements in the second year. If necessary, students can complete the remaining courses by taking one evening M.B.A. course per term in the third and fourth years. Albany Law School follows a semester academic calendar while Union follows a trimester calendar.
The Union Graduate College M.B.A. program is accredited by AACSB International.
Union Graduate College Tuition: $2,740 per course (2011-12)

A new method for the calculation of resonance integrals for both homogeneous and heterogeneous assemblies has been developed and programmed for the IBM-7090. It consists in a direct numerical solution of the integral equation for the average flux in the absorber, and obviates the necessity of choosing between the narrow and wide resonance approximations. Cross sections are calculated, inclusive of Doppler broadening, interference scattering, and the E−1/2 factor in the absorption cross section. The unresolved resonances are calculated in the narrow resonance approximation under consideration of the Porter-Thomas distribution of neutron widths. Available options include (1) choice of geometry—spherical, cylindrical, slab, and homogeneous; (2) Dancoff correction for absorbers of arbitrary transparency; and (3) integral treatment of admixed scatterers. The only input data required are the resonance parameters and specifications of temperature, composition, and geometry. Everything else is handled automatically. The program calculates directly the cases of interest without requiring any additional data handling. Resonance integrals have been computed for uranium and thorium metal and UO2 and ThO2 rods of various diameters and different temperatures. Quantitative agreement with the best available measurements is reached for U238, with respect to the absolute values of the resonance integrals, as well as with respect to their temperature dependence. An interesting new result is that the intergral treatment of the oxygen in UO2 gives a noticeable correction to the resonance integral for thick absorber rods. For Th232, the agreement is not quite as perfect. The differences can, however, be traced to inconsistencies in the available cross section data.

Before ball pools were used for supplying kids with endless amounts of fun, they were originally training arenas for water polo-playing ducks. Dive in and don't look quack with today's Groupon: £8.50 for family swim pass for two adults and two children plus a play tower session at Dimensions Leisure Centre.
Putting family fun first, Dimensions Leisure Centre is a hub of entertainment and sport, playing host to a fully equipped modern gym, an aquatic water world, and outdoor football pitches for friendly five a sides. The tropical water paradise is home to Dino the 65 metre dragon slide, rapids, fountains, and whirlpools, as well as a watery learning ground for aquatot classes, swimming lessons, and aqua fitness classes for grownups. Onsite, the newly refurbished licensed cafe is on hand to serve up Italian coffee plus a range of nibbles and healthy snacks.
Human ducks and their ducklings can take to the water for a fun family swim in the aqua leisure pool. After a few laps of front crawl and some well-deserved splashing around, two little ones can then take a trip around the fun play area in the children's magical play tower while adults dry off and rest up.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to The Grand National
The Grand National is a time when hats made from pineapples and coat hangers are acceptable fashion statements, and nobody bats an eyelid at a horse called Electric Banana. Here are some top tips for enjoying the big race:
Pay attention
If your horse is running at 25 to 1, double-check the race doesn't start at 12.30.
Do your homework at the paddock
Look for the little things the average punter won't notice, like horse trainers. Everyone runs faster in trainers.
Know the sport
Chances are you're in the wrong place if the horses start barking.
If you miss it, don't miss out
Organise your very own staple chase at work or home. All you need is a stapler, some staples and a keen eye for misplaced furniture.

Early notes from Breeders' Cup Saturday
Questing was pulled up by jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr., on the far turn. Track officials said veterinarians could find nothing wrong with the 3-year-old filly trained by Kiaran P. McLaughlin. Santa Anita stewards ordered a blood test.
Trainer Richard Mandella said Beholder, winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, also was "in terrific shape" a day after her big win. The 2-year-old daughter of Henny Hughes scored a one-length victory over trainer Bob Baffert's Executiveprivilege, the race favorite. Unlike Del Mar, where Executiveprivilege scored a photo-finish win (by a nose) over Beholder, this time Beholder held on as Executiveprivilege lugged out in the stretch. She got away with that at Del Mar, but not here.
Mandella said Beholder will return and run in the Santa Anita winter meeting.
"She's earned some time off," Mandella said. "We can think about a possible Eclipse Award for her now and start dreaming about possibly winning the Kentucky Oaks. It sure is nice when you've got one like her in the barn."
Over in the Calidoscopio barn, the connections there said the winner of the Breeders' Cup Marathon was doing "awesome." Calidoscopio is the first horse to have last raced in South America and then win a Breeders' Cup race. He is expected to return to Hollywood Park, where his connections will decide on his next move. Calidoscopio spent six weeks there prior to winning the Marathon.
Martin Schwartz, owner of Zagora, said his 5-year-old mare who won the BC Filly and Mare Turf, also came out of the race well. "For her to be my first Grade I winner last year (in the Diana) and to win a race of this magnitude, she'll always have a special place in our barn," Schwartz said. "My entire staff just loves the filly and we're proud of her."

Riyadi's Arena sits empty at 5:45 p.m. When Game 5 was supposed to take place.
BEIRUT: The future of the Lebanese Basketball Federation was hanging in the balance Thursday after one of the messiest days Lebanese basketball has suffered in 15 years.
Sports Minister Faisal Karami will meet Friday with the president and vice president of Riyadi – Hisham Jaroudi and Jawdat Chaker, respectively – to decide whether to dissolve the Lebanese Basketball Federation over allegations of corruption in Riyadi's Final Four series with Anibal Zahle.
A source told The Daily Star that Mouttahed Tripoli president Mohammad Safadi and five FLBB board members who resigned over the incident will also be in attendance. Mouttahed Tripoli are believed to want to attend because the club felt that the FLBB intentionally ensured that it wouldn't qualify for the Final Four.
Chaker said Thursday that "the Federation no longer exists in the eyes of Riyadi" and that the team would forfeit their role in the league. Riyadi also vowed to not release any of their players to the national team and said neither the men's nor women's teams would take part in the Lebanese Basketball League.
Thursday saw fans demonstrate for hours at Riyadi's arena in Manara after the Lebanese Basketball Federation banned supporters from seeing Game 5 – which was originally scheduled for Thursday – and prohibited star power forward Ismael Ahmad from playing, suspending him for arguing with a federation official in Wednesday's Game 4.
Thanks to the two decisions, Riyadi initially chose to forfeit the game and hand the victory to Anibal Zahle, but officials and politicians intervened, with Sports Minister Faisal Karami threatening to freeze the federation unless they lift the two bans.
Initially news came that the federation had been frozen, meaning there would be no championship and no 2012 winner – although Riyadi would have been given the title as current holders. Then, the federation met at 7 p.m. Thursday and decided to move Game 5 to Friday with both Ahmad and the fans still banned.
Five federation members – Chaker, Nehder Bassma, Hadi Ghemraoui, Yasser al-Hajj and Nizar Rawass – resigned over the controversy.
Should the championship be canceled, it would be the first time the tournament was derailed since 1997.
Riyadi plan to boycott Friday's game as they intend to stand by Ahmad, whose remarks to an official were made after Anibal Zahle fans pelted him with bottles.
Anibal Zahle were fined LL5 million for the behavior of their fans.
Why Riyadi's fans were banned from seeing the potential game is not yet known.
The club have been crying foul all year, saying that the Federation were unfairly trying to affect their performance by loading their schedule, banning their supporters and manipulating referees' decisions.
Riyadi assistant coach Mazen Tabbara insisted that any manipulation from the federation was due to their want for another title winner after the Manara side had won the last seven league titles.
"The federation is trying to decide the championship not on the floor, instead they [want another team to win by] using tricks, bad tricks.
"They don't need to do this; they are destroying the championship. The whole season they have been doing everything to harm Riyadi by giving us a heavy schedule when we were in Asia, then they took action against our fans without any logic.
"They are just trying to protect two teams just so they can get two teams in the final. They are pushing us to withdraw," said Tabbara. "This is it [they are doing it because we have won seven straight titles].
"Until last year's championships we didn't have any issues, no referee issues or anything and the best was winning on the court, they don't want this decision to be taken on the floor.
"We have lost, we don't mind losing when it is a fair situation but obviously they don't want us to win in a fair way, or lose in a fair way. Sport is about winning and losing, but in a fair way."
Whether the federation have purposely tried to affect the result – the biggest crime a federation can commit – can only be speculated on, even though it is highly likely given the organization's track record. Assuming the FLBB have purposely tampered with results, there are a number of possible reasons for doing it, according to Riyadi member Faissal Kalaawi.
One of the most vocal reasons is that Anibal Zahle's main donator, Wadil Absi, is planning to go into politics and wants to manufacture a league victory for Anibal to help raise political capital. Another is simply that the federation wants any team apart from Riyadi to win the title. And the final reason is believed to be that the federation is biased against Riyadi on religious grounds.
Nobody from the federation or Anibal Zahle were available for comment.

Happy Holidays!
Step 1: Ingredients
You will need:
- one 600g bag of frozen cranberries (about 4 cups)
- two large oranges
- 1/2 c. sugar
Step 2: Combine
*a little note on zesting: Zesting an orange is effectively removing the flavorful skin without the white pith, either in large strips or in a finer grate-like size. The best tool for the job, if you can get your hands on one, is a microplane, which is available in most kitchen-supply stores. It's also great for hard cheeses like parmesan, or dark chocolate, and believe me, once you have used it, you'll wonder how ever got along without a microplane!
Step 3: Cooking
Here's how I make it: (I'm guessing at the measurements. I never measure.)
1 bag of fresh cranberries
1 large orange quartered and deseeded
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup sweetened coconut
1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
* Chop cranberries in a food processor to the size of capers/pinenuts/tictacs.
* Mix that in a bowl with the sugar and put in the refrigerator. Overnight is best.
* Chop the orange quarters peel and all in a food processor to a finer size than the cranberries.
* Mix all the ingredients.
* Blow people's minds.
We wanted cranberry sauce this summer, and couldn't find fresh cranberries anywhere! So if you're a cranberry lover, buy extra when they're available and store them in the freezer until you use them. Don't thaw them all the way before you cook them ... they go mushy if you do that.
5 stars! It really is just that simple!

*Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. St. Paul, Letter to Christians at Philippi 4:8.
Had he attended university today, the biblical Saul of Tarsus who became St. Paul, would certainly have been a high-achieving, motivated Honors student! He was a well-educated Roman citizen, intellectually gifted, a prolific writer, and a God-fearing man of action.
Today one enemy to academic and personal character lies in an often-used dodge word: "Whatever…." Concordia University believes its Honor students can rise past a lame "Whatever…" response to life's diverse, noisy voices.
Concordia University offers a general education and electives Honors Program for students who, via test scores and high school GPA, qualify and want to reach deeper, farther, higher.
Initial Invitation to Honors for freshmen is based on standardized test scores and high school GPA, but other qualifying students may petition. Contact the Honors Director or your Academic Advisor for specifics.
To remain an Honors student in good standing, a student must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA and show commitment to wise, honorable, and cultivated pursuits.
Honors graduates receive commencement recognition, a special stole, and designation on their transcripts. Honors Associates successfully complete four to six (4-6) honors courses and/or activities, and Honors Scholars successfully complete seven or more (7+).
*The language St. Paul wrote was Ancient Greek, but his thoughts transcend time and place: Τὸ λοιπόν, ἀδελφοί, ὅσα ἐστὶν ἀληθῆ, ὅσα σεμνά, ὅσα δίκαια, ὅσα ἁγνά, ὅσα προσφιλῆ, ὅσα εὔφημα, εἴ τις ἀρετὴ καὶ εἴ τις ἔπαινος, ταῦτα λογίζεσθε•
In the English of today we welcome future Honors program participants into the pursuit of ἀρετή--arete: the excellences and character values intended for your life.

The T68 Brute is pure business, from the devastating grenade launcher under the Recon Rifled Barrel to the LETS Red Dot Scope and the multi-position collapsible gas-through stock. This T68 is built on the latest Gen7 receiver, a purely mechanical powerhouse that comes set up for magazine-fed action...to give you the benefit of twenty-round interchangeable magazines.
Players around the world are clamoring for mag-fed markers, demanding the reliability of their design (each magazine acts like a force-feed hopper to keep paint securely in your chamber at all times), the ease of reloads, and the heightened authenticity that only comes with magazine-fed markers. We designed this T68 to make full use of that magazine-fed system, and then equipped it with the accessories you need to dominate your opponents.
The 14 inch long Recon Rifled Barrel stabilizes your paint unlike any other barrel, and testing proves that the 14 inch length gives the best balance between gas efficiency and accuracy. To get each of your magazines twenty rounds on target, we outfit the T68 Brute with a LETS Red Dot Scope that features an enormous field of view...so even as you focus on your opponent, you can monitor the field for additional threats.
To help you track moving players and make even the longest shots hit right on target, we include a multi-position M4-style collapsible stock...that even features our own air-through system. Hook a remote line up to the air-through collapsible stock, and your marker will be free of that heavy, ugly tank...meaning that your T68 Brute will look, handle, and feel, just like duty issue gear.
Most impressively, each T68 Brute comes equipped with an M203 Military Grenade Launcher (Thunder Grenades and Thunder Grenade Charger sold separately). Mounted under the barrel, this grenade launcher perfectly replicates the look and feel of the military-issue grenade launcher, but is designed to work exclusively with paintball-approved compressed air grenades. These grenades, available in your choice of configurations, propel single or multiple paintballs downrange to represent a high-explosive round capable of taking out tanks, bunkers, and heavy machinery. Use a restricted color of grenade paint, and there will be no doubt when youve blown up the objective. Load the grenades with regular paint, and use the shotgun-like effect to eliminate groups of charging opponents.
With the T68 Brute, you have the tactical flexibility of an industry-leading marker equipped with a devastating grenade launcher. After you upgrade to the T68 Brute, all youll need is more opponents.
Key Features:
- Magazine-fed for reliability
- Collapsible air-through stock
- LETS Red Dot Scope
- Metal receiver for durability
- Grenade launcher for tactical versatility

Trying to give something back to the Community...
If you're planning on taking any Microsoft Certification Exam but not overly sure if you'll pass (I'm sure you will), then at the time you book your exam you have the option of paying the regular exam price +15%. By paying the extra you'll be able to have another try at the exam if you fail it first time round (so it's not free like it was before but still a good deal).

Chris Bradley, CEO and cofounder, Mana Health
The UpTake: People's inefficient use of their own medical data drove Chris Bradley crazy. So he started Mana Health to bring that data together in one place so it can be used.
Bradley said he wouldn't steer clear from selling directly to hospitals or insurance companies looking for a new patient portal, but the the HIEs offer, by far, the most bang for the buck. Literally and figuratively.
"At the end of the day, the interoperability the HIEs promise and the sharing of data are going to be crucial for health care to fix the lack of transparency, the inefficiencies and the high costs," Bradley said. "For me, that's where the puck is going, so it's more about how do we skate there now?"
To start the company, Bradley connected with Raj Amin, the founding CEO of HealthiNation. And late last year, Oracle senior vice president of product development Reggie Bradford invested in Mana and joined the company's board. He is still the leading investor, though Bradley has declined to say how much he's raised. On April 30, they added Nita Stella, a former senior vice president for product development at Aetna Inc. subsidiary ActiveHealth Management, as head of product strategy.
Bradley said they're all eager to connect their work with patients's real-world medical needs.
"That's what motivates the team, we're creating things that we know will have an impact on peoples' lives," Bradley said. "Now if someone's willing to also pay for it, great, that's even better."

NRC chief promises tough probe at Cal nuke plant
DANA POINT, Calif. Following a tour of the troubled San Onofre nuclear plant, the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission says the plant will remain offline indefinitely until the cause of unusual tube wear in the plant's steam generators is determined.
Gregory Jaczko promised a thorough probe of suspect tubing Friday and said there will have to be a "clear understanding" of the cause of the problem before either of the twin reactors is restarted.
The reactors at the plant located between San Diego and Los Angeles have been shut down for more than two months.
Jaczko says there is no timetable to restart the plants but left open the possibility that Unit 2 could be restarted more quickly.
He made his comments after a tour of the plant with Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The twin reactors at the San Onofre nuclear plant have been sidelined, more than 300 tubes that carry radioactive water will be scrapped because of excessive wear, and investigators are trying to figure out why tubing is rattling inside the lungs of the plant - its massive steam generators.
How sickly is San Onofre?
The chief of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will get a firsthand look Friday, at a time when some officials in nearby communities have been calling for the plant to shut down permanently because of safety concerns.
NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko, joined by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., will meet with plant managers and discuss the issues of the steam generators, where hundreds of tubes have shown unexpected wear, agency spokesman Victor Dricks said.
The visit to the seaside plant, located between San Diego and Los Angeles, comes 10 days after the NRC announced that San Onofre will remain dark until operator Southern California Edison fixes the widespread problem with tubing that carries radioactive water.
The high-profile trip also underscores the concern inside the federal agency tasked with ensuring the safe operation of the nation's commercial nuclear industry.
SCE has assured its customers that the reactors will not be restarted until it is safe to do so, and no date has been set.
State energy officials have warned of rotating blackouts in the power-hungry region if a heat wave hits while the plants are offline - San Onofre can power 1.4 million homes.
The troubles began to unfold in late January, when the Unit 3 reactor was shut down as a precaution after a tube break in one of the generators. Traces of radiation escaped, but officials said there was no danger to workers or neighbors.
Unit 2 was taken offline earlier that month for routine maintenance and refueling. But investigators later found unusual wear on tubing in both units. The company has said 321 tubes that were heavily damaged will be plugged and taken out of service at the two reactors, well within the margin to allow them to keep operating.

v. C.A. NO.
1. On November 20, 2003, the United States filed its complaint in this action alleging that the Defendant violated Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000a et seq., by discriminating against African-Americans.
2. Defendant Black Wolf, Inc., owns and operates a restaurant known as "The Mounty" on Route 30 in Chester, West Virginia. The chief executive officer of Black Wolf, Inc., is George W. Hoyt. In the Complaint, the United States alleges that the Defendant has engaged in a pattern and practice of denying to African-American persons, on the basis of race, the full use and enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of The Mounty on the same basis as such are provided to white members of the general public. For the purposes of establishing jurisdiction, the parties stipulate that at all times relevant to the allegations of the United States, The Mounty is a "place of public accommodation" within the meaning of 42 U.S. C. § 2000a (b) (3), and that its operations "affect commerce" within their meaning of 42 U.S. C. § 2000a (c).
3. At this time, the United States and the Defendant have agreed that, in order to avoid protracted and costly litigation, their controversy should be resolved without further litigation, through the terms of this Consent Decree. Therefore, without a trial or adjudication on the merits, the United States and the Defendant have consented to the entry of this Decree.
4. The Defendant, Black Wolf Inc., managed by George Hoyt, operates the business establishment known as The Mounty, located on Route 30, Chester, West Virginia.
5. The Mounty is a restaurant where persons are served food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
6. The Defendant has, acting through its employees and agents, allegedly implemented a policy and practice of denying to African-American persons, on account of race and/or color, the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, and privileges of The Mounty on the same basis as it makes such available to non-African-American persons. This policy and practice allegedly has been implemented, among other ways, by requiring that African-Americans display "membership cards" before agreeing to serve African-American persons, while not demanding membership cards from non-African-American persons.
7. Specifically, if this case went to trial, the United States would present testimony proving that, on at least two separate occasions, African American patrons were denied service at The Mounty. The United States would also present evidence proving that, on two separate occasions, African American testers were denied service at The Mounty. (1)
8. Part I of this Order prohibits future conduct in violation of Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000a et seq., with respect to the operation of The Mounty. Part II of this Order describes a compliance plan designed to ensure future compliance with federal law and to notify prospective customers of The Mounty that the owners and operators make the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations offered at The Mounty available to all persons without regard to their race or color. Part III provides terms for administration of this Order.
A. It is hereby, ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the Defendant, its agents, employees, successors, and all other persons in active concert or participation with it in the ownership and operation of The Mounty, located on Route 30, Chester, West Virginia, are enjoined from denying to any person, because of race or color, the full and equal enjoyment of all of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of such establishment. Such conduct includes: (1) failing or refusing on account of race or color, to admit any person to the premises of such establishment; (2) discriminating on the basis of race or color in the terms, conditions, or privileges of admission to such establishment, or, because of race or color, providing different information about the terms, conditions, or privileges of admission; and (3) denying or deterring admission to such establishment to any person because of race or color, by adopting any practices or procedures in the management of such establishment designed to discourage persons on the basis of race or color from patronizing such establishment.
B. It is further ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that all of defendant's officers and employees, including employees who may be hired in the future, are required to receive personal notice of the requirements of this Order pursuant to the requirements of paragraph II.C. of this Order.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that:
A. Within 15 days of the date of entry of this Order, Defendant shall erect and maintain at each public entrance to The Mounty a printed sign stating that the establishment is open to all members of the public without regard to race or color. Such sign shall be printed in dark letters on a contrasting background and shall be located and maintained in a place that is clearly visible to all patrons as they enter the premises. Such sign shall include a statement that any person who feels he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race or color may write or call the Housing and Civil Enforcement Section of the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20530, telephone number (800) 896-7743. The text for such sign is specified in Attachment A, and the lettering for such sign shall be no smaller or less visible than that in Attachment A.
B. Within sixty (60) days of the date of entry of this Order or such date that the parties agree is mutually satisfactory in light of the availability of the training resources anticipated by this paragraph, the Defendant and its employees or agents with responsibility for the management and provision of services at The Mounty shall attend a program of educational training concerning the substantive provisions of Title II and their responsibilities under the law. This training, which shall be no less than 2 hours in duration, shall be conducted by an organization with experience in providing training on civil rights issues which is proposed by the Defendant and approved by the Court. The costs of this program shall be borne by the Defendant. All persons attending such a program shall have their attendance certified in writing by the person conducting the educational program.
C. The Defendant shall, no later than ten days after entry of this Order, apprise each of its employees, agents, partners, or any other person who provides services in any capacity with regard to The Mounty of the contents of this Order, their obligations under Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the possibility of contempt sanctions. The Defendant shall furnish each such employee, agent, partner, or other person covered by this paragraph, with a copy of this Order.

New employees shall be apprised of the contents of this Order and their obligations under Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when their employment commences, shall be provided a copy of this Order; and shall execute a statement, as prescribed herein no later than five days following their first day of employment.
D. In order to ensure that all persons are made aware that The Mounty will admit persons of all races and to overcome any legacy stemming from the Defendant's prior discriminatory practices, the Defendant shall, when it places advertisements during the pendency of this Consent Decree in any advertising media (e.g., television, radio, telephone book, internet), include information in the advertisements indicating that The Mounty is open to all members of the public on an equal basis, without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin.
E. The Defendant shall, no later than 60 days after the date of entry of this Order, serve a report evidencing its compliance with this Order upon Allen W. Levy, Esq., United States Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Housing and Civil Enforcement Section, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20530. This report shall include the following:
F. One year after the date of entry of this Order, and every year thereafter for three years from the date of entry of this Order, the Defendant shall serve upon the Housing and Civil Enforcement Section a written report evidencing continuing compliance with this order. This report shall contain the following information:
G. All provisions of this Decree shall apply to the Defendant, its employees and agents, and to Defendant's successors, to the extent that their cooperation is required in implementing Sections I - II of this Decree, and to anyone acting in whole or in part under the direction of Defendant in connection with the treatment of and /or service to The Mounty's patrons.
H. At any time during the term of this Consent Decree, the United States may conduct testing at The Mounty or at any other place of public accommodation owned and/or managed by the Defendant for the purpose of determining whether Defendant is violating the provisions of Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. If the United States establishes that Defendant has violated any provision of this Order with evidence obtained through testing or other evidence, the United States may seek a ruling holding Defendant and any such agents or employees in contempt of court and the award of a monetary penalty and any other appropriate relief designed to ensure Defendant's compliance with the requirements of Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
I. The United States' right to enforce any of the provisions of this Consent Decree shall not be prejudiced by any delay in taking such enforcement action.
This Court shall retain jurisdiction of this case for purposes of enforcing this Consent Decree, which shall be effective for a period of three years following the date of entry by the Court.

This year I wanted to try something a little different then my usual mash-up costumes. I decided to go big or go home and what better way to make something big then to inflate it. So this year I am going to convert a 8'.5" foot tall 7' wide Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Inflatable Lawn Decoration into a portable / wearable costume.
The first step I would need to do is check to see if the fan motor will work on a portable DC power source. I was a little bit saddened when I read the sticker on the power supply. It read output voltage 12vac. If it was a synchronous motor the whole project would be canned but it turns out that when I hooked up a 12vdc power source the fan turned on and worked as it normally would. So I am guessing that either the label was printed incorrectly or the LED's inside some how were part of an H-bridge to convert AC to DC.

30 Minutes to Fitness: BootcampKelly Coffey-Meyer
Year Released: 2008
Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)
Video Fitness reviews may not be copied, quoted, or posted elsewhere without the permission of the reviewer
Show oldest reviews first
This dvd has two <30 minute bootcamp (cardio and strength) workouts and a bonus <20 minute stretch workout. The dvd is chaptered very well and you can choose from warmup, workout 1, workout 2, stretch, or premixes. Under premixes you have a 55 min w/o that includes the w/u, both bootcamp w/o's and a c/d; a 30 strength only premix; a 30 minute cardio only premix; and a 22 minute stretch that includes the w/u and bonus stretch. You will need a variety of dumbbells. Kelly works out w/ 2 background exercisers in a smallish set with some posters in the background.
The warm up gets right to the point-which I like. You will do some jacks, jogging, marches and plyos to get you ready for the workout. Both workouts come in under 30 minutes and utilize mostly medium weights. You do a lot of multi muscle moves so you cant really heavy up. But by the end of the w/o my muscles were plenty worked from repetitions. For example, you do a dip w/ a lateral raise. So I used 10s w/ Kelly-while my LB wasnt feeling it my shoulders sure were! The format is 2 minutes of strength and then 2 minutes of cardio.
The cardio is all athletic type moves put together into little routines. They arent hard to follow but not as simple as the Firm choreo. Im sure you all will do just fine w/ it. Lots of plyos interspersed w/ lower impact moves so your HR gets way up there but you also get a little "break" (if you want to call it that) while your HR stays up. I was drenched in sweat by the end! She includes jacks, plyo lunges, mock jump rope, flying heel tap jacks, a baseball drill, a basketball drill, knee pulls, marching, and other fun but tough moves.
The strength is multi muscle and includes a few kettlebell inspired moves like a side lunge w/ a knee up and a swing type move w/ the dumbbell. Weighted plyo squats, push ups, walking planks, knee pull planks, squats with clean and press, curtsey dips, etc.
I didnt do the bonus stretch w/o but Kelly works out alone on the same set.
I would rate this a high intermediate workout that could easily be modified up or down. One b/g exerciser shows beginner modifications. I like Kelly though feel her cueing could be a tiny bit better. Too many of the moves are quite similar but combined in different ways, so for the choreo challenged like me-better cueing could have saved me (the tiny) bit of confusion I had. She has a good personality and energy and I am interested in trying more from me. I am a huge fan of "bootcamp" w/o's and this one DID NOT dissapoint! Great w/o with tons of premix options.
This is another new workout from fitness instructor Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness series. Like the other DVDs in this series, 30 Minutes to Fitness Bootcamp offers two separate workouts; when combined with the warm-up, each of these workouts is around 30 minutes long, perfect if you are short on time. However, Kelly also offers plenty of additional options, including a Bonus Stretch segment and various Premixes which allow you to create a longer or shorter workout. Kelly works out with two background exercises, one of whom shows modifications for the higher impact moves. The Main Menu of the DVD lists the Warm-Up, Workout 1, Workout 2, Bonus Stretch, and Premixes. The Premixes include Double Session (both workouts), 55 minutes; Strength Session (strength segments only), 30 minutes; Cardio Session (cardio segments only), 30 minutes; and Stretch Session (warm-up & bonus stretch), 22 minutes.
Kelly beigns the 3 1/2 minute warm-up with marches, jogs, shuffles, and hamstring curls. She then moves into a sequence of squats, jacks, and lunges, ending the warm-up with some push-up/plank work. Then it's on to the workouts. Without the warm-up, Workout #1 is 27 minutes long, and #2 is 26 1/2 minutes long. Both follow the format of repeating an exercise for 2 minutes and then moving on (although sometimes Kelly changes it up and does a short drill-like sequence at the end). In general, Kelly alternates weight work with cardio bursts, although some of the later use a single light dumbbell. Kelly does a great job of always telling you the amount of weight she is using while encouraging you to use the weight that is most appropriate for you.
In both workouts, the time really flies, as Kelly keeps you constantly moving. The cardio portions contain quite a bit of impact, but as mentioned above, modifications are always shown. Also, as is traditional with bootcamp workouts, both workouts have a plank portion about mid-workout. Workout #1 contains some unique weight work which Kelly likens to kettlebell swings. There are also several moves with a sports feel to them, including a basketball jump (cardio) and a shotput (weights). In Workout #2, there seemed to be quite a bit of impact in the first half, whereas the second half contained a lot of fun exercises, again derived from sports: eg, a hitter, lacrosse, catcher cardio sequence, and my favorite, an en guarde strength move. Both workouts conclude with a very brief (<2 minutes) stretch.
For those wanting a more thorough stretch, Kelly has included a longer stretch segment that's about 19 minutes long. This section includes a mix of ballistic (bouncing) and static stretching. Kelly begins standing for some standard stretching moves, but these did not feel like they were held long enough to me. However, she then moves to the floor, where she slows down and does some longer holds; she also incorporates a towel (or strap) for some of the moves. Unfortunately, she finishes the floorwork with several moves (known as plow and shoulderstand in yoga) which I think many might find too advanced for a basic stretching program.
As with the other workouts in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series, Kelly did a great job with this DVD, which provides users with plenty of workout options. Although I definitely would recommend this DVD, I would caution that it is not for beginners (I would suggest intermediate and above), that it contains quite a bit of impact, and finally, that the workouts themselves provide very little cool-down/stretching. I admit that bootcamp workouts aren't really my thing, but most people who like Kelly will love this workout.
Instructor Comments:
I like Kelly and thought she did a great job overall here. I don't particularly like the "bootcamp" style, though: too much impact for me, and I don't like doing push-ups/plank work during the warm-up as well as mid-workout.

Why yes, Jason Arnott is still available. (Jim McIsaac/Getty Images) Yesterday we discussed how the Rangers forward depth is clearing becoming an issue for the club. Before the season started, we had also discussed how the Rangers could definitely use a forward to help make that fourth line stronger. Keep in mind that the Rangers need bottom six help, but it doesn't necessarily have to be fourth line help. The Rangers could look to add a third or even second liner –especially if the struggles of Carl Hagelin and Chris Kreider continue– to push some of the current players down a slot. Another signing might be crucial to give the Rangers that edge they need on the bottom six. A quality signing would also help the Rangers if and when injuries rear their ugly head. There are still quite a few free agents that are available, and the Rangers have some cap room to give for a one-year deal. But of those available, only a few really pique my interest: Petr Sykora Sykora played with the Devil...

UT Tyler GATE
Upcoming Trips: Italy 2015
The boot-shaped peninsula of Italy is located in Southern Europe. Italy has many historical layers: classical, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and modern. It is precisely this richness of history that provides the perfect study abroad opportunity for GATE students. In Italy, students have the ability to study the Italian government, the media and film, literature, fashion, art history, political science and history. Most importantly, students will have the opportunity to examine some of the most important art and architectural monuments in the world.
Sicily, in particular, offers students the experience of seeing a crossroads of cultural translation between Africa and Europe. It also offers the opportunity to debunk stereotypes and turn a critical lens to our perception of what Italy is. By studying and living among these monuments within a rigorous academic course, students will become familiar with the historical, political, social, intellectual and religious climate of Italy. Not only will the students gain knowledge, but the experience of being in Italy—walking, eating, shopping and observing Italian life—will provide an unforgettable opportunity for the participants.
Here are just a few of the sites we plan to explore while in Italy:
- The Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel
- St. Peter's
- The Colosseum
- Michelangelo's David
- San Francesco in Assisi
- Uffizi
GATE students beginning coursework in the fall 2013 will travel to Italy for an extraordinary five-week study abroad experience the summer after their sophomore year (2015). GATE students will complete two core curriculum courses (six hours) taught by UT Tyler faculty at a university in Italy, and will also explore the culture and beauty that Italy has to offer. Housing and travel will be arranged, and UT Tyler administrators will be onsite to coordinate events, activities and travel around Italy for the GATE students.

Peter met Bryan Landman in the 1990's and within a few years Grasmere progressed into a fully fledged ostrich business. The farm covers close to 900ha of land allowing the birds freedom of movement.
Grasmere Ostriches is a close knit, dedicated farming concern endeavouring to provide our customers with excellent hands-on service while delivering products of the highest standard at the best prices possible. As we are situated in the Eastern Cape, the farm operates independently from the large conglomerate of ostrich farmers in the Oudtshoorn area of the Western Cape.
Today Bryan Landman resides on Grasmere whilst Peter and his wife Elisabeth live on a neighbouring farm, Soutvlei.
The two farms operate together, providing plenty of roaming space for our, on average, 3000 ostriches. The birds are reared along strict European Union guidelines and are free range. If you visit the farm at the right time of year you may be lucky enough to spot a nesting ostrich pair, or a female ostrich fiercely protecting her brood of newly hatched chicks.
Inoculations are only done when absolutely necessary and all ostriches roam free, with the exception of a few days before slaughter, when they are camped off in special areas. This isolation is required by the European Union to ensure all birds are tick and disease free.
Ostrich biltong may be available at the farm boutique from time to time. This dried, spiced meat is a South African speciality and is delicious as well as nutritious, due to the fact that ostrich is a very lean meat, in fact the healthiest of all red meats available.
Grasmere also farms beef cattle and sheep which pose no danger to the ostriches.
Bryan sees to the daily activities on the farm as well as the buying and selling of hides while Bryan runs the on- site Ostrich Boutique. The beautiful indigenous garden and boutique decor is the fruits of Elisabeth's labour.
Our farm employees all reside on the farm, with father and son often working side by side. Ostrich farming is a specialised industry, and most of our employees have been with us for many years, while learning the ropes, and ultimately becoming specialists in their field.
Adult ostriches are plucked at regular intervals in a special "plucking box". These beautiful black and white feathers are then sold to the local and overseas markets for decorations, carnival costumes and so forth.
Take your time browsing our site, discover interesting facts about ostriches, learn about our farm, and purchase an ostrich leather item or two. You won't be disappointed.
Please contact Bryan for more information on our products.

Cinedigm Acquires Worldwide Distribution Rights to ABSENCE

|Film Society of Lincoln Center Announces Lineup for 2015 Film Comment Selects
December 22, 2014
|Related: ABSENCE, Cinedigm
Cinedigm (CIDM), has acquired worldwide distribution rights to ABSENCE, Jimmy Loweree's debut feature film. Cinedigm's theatrical distribution of ABSENCE will commence in late 2013, with subsequent roll out across on-demand, digital, DVD and broadcast.
Independently produced and directed in the "found footage" horror style, in ABSENCE (formerly Writewood), doctors are baffled when a young expectant mother, Liz (Erin Way, Alphas), wakes to find her nearly-to-term pregnancy apparently disappear overnight. The police are investigating the situation as a missing child and only her husband, Rick (Eric Matheny, J.Edgar), and brother, Evan (Ryan Smale) trust her version of events.
Co-written by Loweree and Jake Moreno, ABSENCE was produced by Parker Johal/Radcliffe Pictures, Michael Covino, Brent Emery/Coup d'Etat Films, and Loweree. Loweree also directed the film. The filmmakers were represented in the negotiation by Ben Weiss, Paradigm Agency, and by Kristin Harris for Cinedigm.
"I'm really happy and excited to be working with Cinedigm on the upcoming release of ABSENCE. The Cinedigm team has been so supportive and could not have responded better to our flick, not to mention they completely get the genre market and how to reach our audience," said Loweree. "I'm stoked!"
"ABSENCE is an example of DIY filmmaking at its finest. The guys know their subject matter, the genre and - most importantly - their audience extremely well, and have crafted a film that delivers on many levels," said Vincent Scordino, Vice President of Acquisitions, Theatrical, for Cinedigm. "We were simply blown away by their talent and look forward to working with them on the release."
On February 12 Cinedigm debuted Belarus-born Makinov's Toronto Film Festival premiere, "Come Out and Play," on digital and VOD, ahead of theatrical release on March 22. Late last year the company released "Citadel," Ciaran Foy's Irish agoraphobia horror film that won the 2012 SXSW Midnighter Award.

This racquet gives power and control,also super light weight. I'm a 4.0 player. I also bought one for my 12 yr. old and my 14 yr. old. Love it!
I played with my new racquet for the first time today and I loved it. I am vacationing in Florida and did not want to travel back and forth with my racquet so I ordered this as a spare, but I think I will get another one to play with up north. I am a 70 year old recreational player and this racquet gives me quite a bit more power. I bought this racquet after conferring with your pro online and I'm so happy with his choice.
I keep trying new racquets and keep going back to this one.
Have been using since 2011-12. Light and excellent for swings, particularly if you are looking for good back strokes with a light weight racquet. a real 5 star!!.
This racquet is an excellent choice for a wide range of players. It is very affordable for a racquet that has a good balance of power and feel. I love it for every phase of my game, and it is very lightweight. It performs well for serves, volleys, topspin shots and sliced shots. It helped me start playing again after a long break from tennis. Thanks for an excellent product.
I bought this because I was getting back into the game after years of not playing (I'm 25 and played as a kid) and it had very high reviews for a beginner racquet. Pros: Feather-light! Tacky and comfortable grip. Quality strings. Cons: Despite it having a large frame, the sweet spot was smaller than I expected. I quickly outgrew it (only about 6 weeks). It's truly designed for a beginner or someone who has a gentle/slower swing. After I got into the groove of a good swing and started hitting with some force, the ball soars past the baseline and is a little hard to to control (it doesn't have a great feel). My instructor suggested I upgrade to a "player's" racquet after only six weeks and after I did, things went a lot better. But, like I said if you are truly a beginner and don't plan on hitting balls with much force, its really great.
I have more control and accuracy over the other I got on a trade. Great feel since I have large hands and very strong wrists could not ask for anything better, many thanks .
Love this racquet! Have been using this frame for 5+ years. I am a solid 4.0 male doubles player. This racquet is super light and manuverable but still packs a punch on volleys and overheads. Lets hope Head keeps producing this solid frame for many years.
I also own a S12, but I love the S6 as well. S6 is slightly heavier and the flare design string pattern different from the S12. Regardless, I love them both.
I bought this same racquet perhaps 10 years ago and have been using it ever since. I figured it was time for a new one. The new version of it is a real bargain and has the same beautiful design and feather-light body. I've been playing tennis for over 40 years and have purchased some absurdly expensive racquets. This is my go-to racquet. It's a great value.
I love this racket ! Very few miss hits ( my fault , not the racket ).. It's lite, but very little vibration, has a good sweet spot. Pretty good power when nesc. I let a buddy borrow the racket & he played so well with it, he wanted it.. So I did give it to him & bought another for myself !!
The Ti S6 has proven out to be a very nice racquet. The cost is realitivly low and the performance quite high. It's head heavy for more power and the weight is good for me.
I really love my new purchase of the Head Titanium TiS6 tennis racket. It has a grip size of 4 1/8 because I have small hands. Glad that Midwest Sports had them in stock.

Falcons Suffer 25-12 Loss To South Dakota State
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - With just two individual wins, the Air Force wrestling team was unable to defeat South Dakota State, suffering a 25-12 dual meet loss Saturday evening. With the loss, the Falcons fall to 2-4 on the season, while the Jackrabbits improve to 6-7 on the year.
The meet began at 157 pounds, where junior Zach Lord (Missoula, Mont.) faced off against Andy Everson. Everson went ahead 2-1 in the first round with an early takedown, and extended his advantage to 6-1 with another takedown and two-point near fall in the second round. After another escape by Lord, Everson scored another takedown to go up 8-2 at the beginning of the final round. His lead grew to eight points with a reversal, but Lord came back with an escape, a takedown and three back points by the conclusion of the bout. However, it was not enough, and with an extra point for riding time, Everson captured the 11-8 decision to give South Dakota State a 3-0 lead.
In the 165 pound bout, Air Force sophomore Greg Ford (Kansas City, Mo.) went scoreless with Justin Retallic in the first round, but took a 1-0 lead with an escape in the second round. Retallic tied the score in the third round with an escape of his own and took the lead after a violation by Ford. Although Ford scored a takedown with just 16 seconds to tie the score once more, the match was still tied at the end of regulation, bringing about a sudden victory session. Retallic scored the winning takedown to take the 5-3 decision, putting the Jackrabbits ahead 6-0.
The Falcons got on board at the conclusion of the 174-pound bout, where Stephen Crozier (Fr., Monona, Iowa) faced
Travis Gottschalk. The first round between the pair and Crozier was first to score with a reversal in the second round. His lead went up to 3-0 with a point for a violation by Gottschalk in the third round, and despite an escape by Gottschalk to bring the score to 3-1, Crozier was awarded an extra point for riding time as he cruised to the 4-1 decision.
The 184-pound bout featured Air Force senior Zane Hershey (Hugoton, Kan.) against Levi Krehmeyer. Krehmeyer scored a pair of takedowns in the first round to take a 4-1 lead. However, Hershey took the advantage in the second round with a reversal and two-point near fall. With both wrestlers starting out in the neutral position in the final round, Hershey scored the winning takedown and added a point for riding time to take the 8-4 decision to tie the match for Air Force.
Air Force senior Brenden McLean (Merlin, Ore.) was next up for the Falcons, wrestling Cody Nehl in the 197-pound bout. Nehl took the 4-1 lead in the first period with a pair of takedowns, and with McLean beginning the second round in the down position, continued to extend his advantage. Nehl scored yet another takedown in the third period, and despite another escape by McLean, was able to add a point for riding time to take the 7-2 decision, putting the Jackrabbits back on top, 9-6.
Frank McGrath (Fr., Hammonton, N.J.) trailed 2-1 early in the heavyweight match, with a takedown by opponent Jason Stripling. McGrath then started out the second period in the down position and could not score the escape, giving Stripling an extra point for riding time at the end of the bout, for the 4-2 decision.
South Dakota State's lead grew to 18-6 with an Air Force forfeit at 125 pounds, but the Falcons picked up six points with a forfeit by the Jackrabbits at 133 pounds. Trailing just six points, Air Force still had two more weight classes to try to pick up the difference.
First freshman Shane Manuel (Anchorage, Alaska) would see action at 141 pounds against Derek Pirner. However, Manuel trailed 5-0 in the first round, giving up a takedown and a three-point near fall. Though neither was able to score in the second round, Pirner added another takedown in the third round and added a point for riding time to take the 8-0 major decision.
With the meet already decided, Bridger Lord (Jr., Missoula, Mont.) and Brad Gregory met in the 149-pound bout. Gregory went up 4-0 with a takedown and two-point near fall, but Lord responded with a reversal before the end of the first period to trail 4-2. Gregory scored an escape in the second round to go up 5-2, and neither was able to score again as Gregory secured the three-point decision to give the Jackrabbits the 25-12 team victory.
The Falcons return to action next weekend, Feb. 4, when they travel to Kings Point, N.Y., to take part in the All-Academy Championships, hosted this year by the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

Movie Review: Star Trek8 Comments Published May 8th, 2009 in Movies, Science Fiction, TV
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.
If you've already read my History of Star Trek article, this is the future of the franchise, by returning to its past.
Let me get to the bottom line first: this is the best Star Trek movie ever. Indeed, it's the best movie I've seen this year. Why?
This is the movie I've been waiting for 40 years, the first original episode of Star Trek: The Original Series since the show went off the air in 1969. As I mentioned in my earlier article, usually even-numbered movies are better than odd-numbered ones: but not with this eleventh movie — unless you want to call it what it really is, Star Trek 0.
Without giving away any plot details, this movie has action, drama, romance, humor, adventure, fisticuffs, and terrific space battles. $30 million were spent on special effects alone, of course by Industrial Light and Magic. The movie starts with a bang, with a truly emotional event, and keeps up the excitement right up to the end. The writing is both smart and lovingly detailed at times, and there are genuinely touching scenes of realization and revelation. And the ending, well, it brought a tear to my eye.
Yes, this is the prequel, as it were, of the original show — how the original crew met up at Starfleet Academy. This is essentially an origins story. It is also a reboot of the franchise, in the same way as Batman and James Bond have gotten a fresh start, decades after the original movie series began. But this movie is accessible to non-fans as well.
Many Trekkies, Trekkers and Trek junkies may bemoan the fact that this movie does not stick strictly to "Star Trek canon" — for example, this Spock raises his left eyebrow, not the canonical right one — but there is a reasonable explanation given for this. You'll just have to go see the movie to find out.
Director J.J. Abrams had a difficult task of appealing to the long time fans, while attracting a new younger audience. He walked this tightrope well, mixing loving respect for the original while adding fresh and fun improvisations on the iconic characters for a post-modern age. Nostalgia and newness.
The music of Alexander Courage is peppered throughout the movie. He did the original score of the TV show and I had the privilege of seeing him in the Bay Area at a space music concert. The familiar 4-note introduction appears four times and makes chills run up one's spine. But that's not all, even the familiar bridge sounds are there for the old fans to relish.
Pay attention to catch a couple of prominent product placements in the movie.
Among many tributes paid to the original series — even a "red shirt" if you know what I mean — there were also lots of inside jokes and references made to other movie lines and famous TV sayings. Also, we see the use of Vasquez Rocks near Los Angeles. It was used as a popular exterior in several of the original TV show, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Voyager, Enterprise, and the movie Star Trek IV. It was featured in this film for the planet Vulcan. It's been a filming location in many other TV shows like Bonanza, F-Troop, Have Gun Will Travel, The Big Valley, Maverick, Gunsmoke, Kung Fu, and The Wild, Wild, West.
Chris Pine, who you've seen in Smokin' Aces and the delightful Bottle Shock plays James T. Kirk, cocky, brash, arrogant, confident, even fool hardy, but usually right in his hunches. He gives a remarkable performance, having some critics saying "a star is born." He does make it happen and is believable in the role. Like me, and George Takei (the original Sulu), and John Cho (the new Sulu), Pine went to school at the University of California, Berkeley — where we were all bitten by the acting bug.
Zachary Quinto, best known as the villain Syler in the popular TV series Heroes plays the part of the human-Vulcan Spock. His resemblance to the young Leonard Nimoy is uncanny. Quinto is a half-breed himself, half-Italian, half-Irish. And like Leonard Nimoy, his father used to cut hair. Having the opportunity to meet with and work with Leonard Nimoy, who approved his casting, he learned his mannerisms, like holding his hands behind his back, his erect and still posture, and his measured and stoic composure. Of all the cast, he most resembles the original character in appearance and carriage.
The New Zealand actor Karl Urban puts on a bit of a southern gentleman accent, like the original "just a country doctor" role DeForest Kelley did. I heard De Kelley at a Star Trek convention once challenge the audience with "You all think you know Star Trek so well, give me the name of any episode and I'll quote a line from it." As people shouted out episode names, he confidently replied, "He's dead, Jim." Urban gets to play this role with humor, something we don't usually see from the man of action who played Eomer in The Lord of the Rings trilogy or Vaako in Chronicles of Riddick. While Urban does not quote that line in this movie, he does quote another of his iconic lines. And here, you learn (one possible) origin of the name "Bones."
Simon Pegg, the irrepressible English actor plays engineering genius Montgomery Scott. He effected a Glasgow accent for the role, believing that Scotty was originally from Linlithgow — a short train ride from Edinburgh — and the old castle there is the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. This is curious, as we all know from the episode "Wolf in the Fold" that Scotty was "an old Aberdeen pub crawler." In any event, since Pegg is an English actor — unlike the original James Doohan who is Canadian (and admitted to me that he loves to do accents) — at least he's closer geographically. You've seen Pegg before in Shaun of the Dead, and many other movies he's produced, directed, and starred in. He brings his unique sense of humor to the role, and what he says about the Enterprise's nacelles, well, you just have to see it.
Anton Yelchin who plays Pavel Andreievich Checkov was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, though he's since lived in the United States since the year he was born. He brings remarkable energy an enthusiasm to the role. As the 17-year old Ensign, he lays on the Russian accent a bit thicker than Walter Koenig did in ST:TOS. Several years ago I had the opportunity to meet the actor Walter Koenig and in the course of conversation asked him how he developed his Russian accent.
"I have a good ear for accents."
When I looked at him quizzically, he added.
"Both of my parents are Russian."
The new USS Enterprise is a thing of beauty to behold. It looks like the BMW engineering team got a hold of the original and "pimped the ride." While not straying as far as the redesign in the first movie Star Trek: The Motion Picture this retains most of the original elements with a slightly more curved engineering section and more elegant warp nacelles. The use of weapon systems, including photon torpedoes and phasers is more developed in this design, as are greater uses of blue over the original red, but it works for me. I saw the original 11-foot filming model back in the mid-'70s before it was put on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum. Even before it was restored, it was a stunning piece of engineering.
The bridge looks like a white iPhone: shiny, new, clean, and not black. Rather than the old TV-sized monitors, we've got widescreen. Rather than the gooseneck lights on the helm and navigation consoles, we've got swing arm extensions. But, what's with all the lens flare on the bridge?
The transporter room looks very much like the original show, with a two-person console and a display on the wall. And next to "Scotty" appears Christopher Doohan, the son of the original Engineer Scott, as an extra, as he had on Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Bruce Greenwood assumes the role of Captain Christopher Pike created in the very first pilot "The Cage" — rejected originally by NBC — filmed in 1965. He handles the role with maturity and grace.
Eric Bana plays a very different Romulan, unlike any we've seen before, an Aussie Captain Nero with an American accent and poor hygiene habits. It is ironic that he received an acting award for his lead in the 2007 Australian movie Romulus, My Father. You've seen him before in Munich, Troy, Black Hawk Down and the earlier version of Hulk.
John Cho had a unique challenge as he reprises the role created by George Takei, who is still an active actor, appearing in the recent TV series Heroes. In the same way Sulu fenced in the original episode "The Naked Time" so here John Cho fences — but with a samurai sword rather than the original foil. In the same way that the Chinese-American actor Garrett Wang plays the Korean Harry Kim, here Korean-American actor John Cho plays the Japanese Lt. Sulu. You've seen Cho before in the Harold and Kumar movies.
Zoe Saldana plays the role of the lovely Uhura, whose name means "Freedom" in Swahili. Given a larger role in this movie than in previous Star Trek movies, there is a bit of irony here. In the movie "The Terminal" she plays a Trekkie. But you've also seen her as Anamaria in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."
Ben Cross, who played the character Harold Abrams in the 5-Academy Award winning movie "Chariots of Fire" appears here as Spock's father Sarek of Vulcan. He's excellent in the role, and gets a chance to deliver amazing lines, some unexpected.
Winona Ryder is Amanda Grayson, the human Earthling mother of Spock, and wife of Sarek of Vulcan. Ironically, her name means "worthy of being loved."
Jennifer Morrison, from the TV show "House" has a brief role as James Kirk's mother, and explains (another possible) reason for Kirk's middle name.
Grade: A. Swing, hit, a home run.
You'll like it if: action, humor, vitality and space are your final frontier
You won't like it if: you've been on another planet for the last 40 years.
Trivia Question: There is one performer who has been in the original show, ST: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, the animated series, and many of the movies — including this film as well. And is in this film's dedication at the end. Who is it?
Yes, this is a deeply gratifying movie. I've already got tickets to see it again tomorrow!

Great review, Doc. I thought about you throughout the entire film – wondering if you were enjoying this as much as I was. Thanks for turning me on to Star Trek all those years ago.
May 9th, 2009 at 7:22 am
I agree with all of your points about the movie. Absolutely stunning – especially in IMAX format!
There were quite a few nods to the original series and the movies that I loved, including the creature from Ceti Alpha (ST:II), the Orion girl, Captain Pike, the Phase Cannons (loose tie to Enterprise), Sulu's swordfighting…
I was hoping there would be a little tie-in with the Star Trek: Enterprise show (perhaps having Archer or Trip mentioned), especially since it was a prequel too. Perhaps the explanation of the altered timeline negates that whole series… I REALLY liked the use of Captain Pike in this film, so I'm OK with this approach.
My only complaint is the Uhura relationship. It just didn't feel right to me. Also, since they got a Russian for Chekov, I was hoping they'd also get an actual Scot for Scotty. The englishman they got was OK, but had a pretty minor role.
Bones almost stole the show. He was hilarious and absolutely in character. Spock and Kirk were also very well played.
In all, a very welcome re-start to the franchise. One I hope will continue to boldly go…

the new Star Trek cast did an awesome job emulating the originals as did the script writers — fun and enjoyment were had by all in my group
May 12th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Bill – as usual, dead on. Love this and love the movie!
May 12th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Scott Hudson, there was mention of Archer. Scotty mentions the fact that he was stationed there in the middle of no where is b/c of (SPOILER) what he does to Admiral Archer's Beagle (END SPOILER). CHeck it out.

Enjoyed the movie; enjoyed the review.

To add, I especially appreciated the way the "violence" scenes were handled. Far too often these days, it seems to me, that Hollywood always seems to be *searching* for opportunities to put highly graphical violence scenes into its movies, just for the sake of having such scenes. Remember the "propeller guy" from the movie, Titanic?
Violence scenes in Star Trek were not gratutitous, in my opinion, nor nearly as graphical as they could have been, and not nearly as disturbing as I had come to expect from Hollywood. I very much appreicated that.

Gear Review
Corbin Jensen
A little disappointed
I was really excited for this board but after 3 months of riding her I have been sorely disappointed. Most of the boards I have ridden will hold a wax for at least 2 - 3 months. I have to wax this sucker just about every week. I have tried many different techniques but this board will just not hold a wax. The other disappoint I have had is with the craftsmanship of the board. Just not a well made board.
Hey Corbin, I was thinking about picking this board up for cheap. what don't you like about the construction? I thought YES had great boards being made by Nidecker. Is the topsheet chipping off on the edges? Also, are you hot waxing your board properly? I find I need a wax after 10 or so hours of riding.
