Only Five Days Left To Vote For Fernandez, 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team for U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Lisa Fernandez and the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team are among the final nominees for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame's Class of 2012, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) announced today. Fernandez is vying for one of six spots in the individual category while the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team is vying for the sole team spot.
The public can help select the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame inductees at http://www.teamUSA.org/
"Being considered for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame is really the pinnacle of my career as a softball player," Fernandez said. "When you think about being an Olympic athlete, you think about winning the Olympic Gold Medal, but to be recognized with a nomination for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame is special and a reflection of everything that I have been blessed to accomplish in the sport. Never in a million years did I think I would be considered for this honor. I am so fortunate to share a nomination with my 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Teammates as well. What we were able to accomplish in Athens was truly unforgettable."
Members of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team are Laura Berg (Santa Fe Springs, Calif./Fresno State), Crystl Bustos (Canyon Country, Calif./Palm Beach Community College), Fernandez (Long Beach, Calif./UCLA), Jennie Finch (La Mirada, Calif./Arizona), Amanda Freed (Cypress, Calif./UCLA), Lori Harrigan (Las Vegas, Nev./UNLV), Lovieanne Jung (Fountain Valley, Calif./Arizona), Kelly Kretschman (Indian Harbour Beach, Fla./Alabama), Jessica Mendoza (Camarillo, Calif./Stanford), Tairia Mims Flowers (Tucson, Ariz./UCLA), Stacey Nuveman (La Verne, Calif./UCLA), Leah O'Brien-Amico (Chino Hills, Calif./Arizona), Cat Osterman (Houston, Texas/Texas), Jenny Topping (Whittier, Calif./Cal State Fullerton) and Natasha Watley (Irvine, Calif./UCLA). The team was coached by Mike Candrea (Tucson, Ariz./Arizona Head Coach) with assistant coaches Ken Eriksen (Tampa, Fla./South Florida Head Coach) and John Rittman (Palo Alto, Calif./Stanford Head Coach).
Dubbed the "Real Dream Team" on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team went 9-0 in Athens, a record that included eight consecutive shutouts and four run-rule wins. In total, the Americans outscored opponents 51-1, not allowing an opponent to score until 55 2/3 innings into the tournament when Australia scored in the sixth inning of the Gold Medal Game.
"What an honor for Lisa Fernandez and this great group of athletes and their unforgettable performance during the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens," said Candrea, two-time U.S. Olympic Softball Team Head Coach. "The 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team is a group of young ladies who raised the bar in their preparation, dedication, teamwork and ultimately produced a performance on the field that will go down as one of the best in Olympic history. I am grateful and humbled to have been a part of this great team, staff and USA Softball and appreciate the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team's nomination for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame."
Members of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team set 18 Olympic records in Athens. No U.S. Olympic Team has ever given a more dominant performance with as many team and individual Olympic records broken en route to the Gold Medal. Among the teams records set were the most hits (73), highest team batting average (.343) and highest slugging percentage (.559). Fernandez set the individual record for batting average with .545 while Crystal Bustos' 10 RBIs and five home runs were also records.
The U.S. pitching staff, led by Fernandez, had the lowest combined earned run average (0.12) in Olympic history. One run is also the fewest runs allowed by a team in Olympic history. And dominant pitching was no fluke in Athens as the team also had a .22 ERA during the "Aiming for Athens" Olympic preparation tour, in which they went 53-0 in 30 cities.
While the team relished in on-the-field triumphs, the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team battled off-the-field tragedy. The team wore "SC" on their helmets to honor Sue Candrea, coach Candrea's wife, who passed away from a brain aneurysm 10 days before the team left for Greece. Sue was traveling with the team in central Wisconsin on the "Aiming for Athens" tour.
Candrea was named the 2004 USOC Coach of the Year. Other honors garnered by the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team were the 2004 USOC Team of the Year award and the 2004 ESPY for Best Female Olympic Performance. For her individual performance in Athens, Fernandez was a finalist for the 2004 USOC SportsWoman of the Year award.
"Softball is not an individual sport. Throughout my career, I have had amazing teammates, not just at the 2004 Olympic Games but at every event that I have been a part of. They've helped me achieve everything that I have done," Fernandez said. "As a pitcher, I was blessed to have a great defense behind me. I was blessed to have a great offense that could score so many runs. I know that without great teammates, what I did in the circle would not have mattered. I could have thrown no hitters and still lost if I didn't have such a strong team."
Fernandez is part of a rare class of U.S. Olympians who hold three Olympic Gold Medals from three Olympic Games. In 1996, 2000 and 2004, Fernandez led the Americans to the Gold Medal, the only pitcher to appear in three Olympic finales. Most notably, she entered the final game of the 1996 Olympic Games in the sixth inning and earned the save as Team USA defeated China 3-1 for the inaugural softball Olympic Gold Medal. Overall, she achieved 7-2 record in the circle throughout her Olympic career, allowing only 20 hits, seven walks and six runs (four earned) while striking out 93 over 74.2 innings of Olympic play.
While Fernandez is most renowned for her work in the circle, she also recorded 76 at-bats over three Games. Fernandez hit .333 (23-for-76) overall in Atlanta, Sydney and Athens with three doubles, three home runs and 15 runs batted in (RBI) and 13 runs scored.
A rare pitcher/hitter, Fernandez has the distinction of holding four individual Olympic records in addition to those she helped set as a team. In 2000, she struck out 25 Australian batters, a record. She holds the Olympic record for fewest runs allowed. In 2004, she achieved the highest batting average (.545) in Olympic play and hit three doubles, another record.
"It is bittersweet that softball has two nominees for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame when our sport is excluded from the 2012 Olympic Games in London," Fernandez said. "It's unfortunate that today's players will not have the same chance to compete that I did. The U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame is our opportunity to leave a legacy in the Olympic arena until we get softball back in the Games. It was so special to play in the Olympics. My teammates and I appreciated the opportunity to represent our country on that stage. To have a place in the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, that would be incredible. That's where you leave your mark. There is nothing more special than being an Olympian and being in the Hall of Fame would truly be an honor."
No softball athletes are currently inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.

City Council denies rezoning near Veterans Memorial Parkway
A proposed rezoning, which would have enabled commercial vehicles to be parked on a property near Veterans Memorial Parkway, was denied Monday by the Evansville City Council.
A small contracting and remodeling business, JA Properties LLC, operates at the address, 801 Prosperity Lane. Land owner Joseph Assenza, who is former owner of the business, and his attorney, Les Shively, argued that the rezoning would not impact the neighborhood's character.
But the Glenwood Neighborhood Association and individual property owners on Prosperity Drive argued against the rezoning, citing narrowness of the street and other factors.
Had the commercial use rezoning been approved, Shively said the property would have been fenced and there would have been a limit on the number of parked vehicles. The property was a machine shop years ago.
City Council President Connie Robinson represents the area in question and said all of her calls from constituents opposed the rezoning.
It was rejected, 6-1, with only Jonathan Weaver voting in favor. Dan Adams, John Friend, Al Lindsey, Dan McGinn and Missy Mosby joined Robinson in opposition. Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley and Conor O'Daniel were absent.
On its consent agenda Monday, the City Council had a first reading on a new contract with the Evansville Fire Department's union, Local 357.
The contract expires at the end of this year. It was ratified in June by a majority of firefighters.
Provisions include a random drug-testing policy and higher holiday pay. The contract covers 271 firefighters.

Wicked Jacket
I've been shopping for some time now for the perfect down jacket and this is it. The Pertex endurance fabric is light yet feels durable enough for some serious expeditions. There have been other jackets out there that are excellent like the marmot Ama Dablam but that doesn't have the Pertex endurance fabric that is nearly 100% waterproof. The fit is great but a tad bit large at the chest, then again I'm a small guy, but the small would have been to small to layer with. Its definately warm for the weight, and the price is okay for the quality your getting.
What are your measurements? I think I would need a small and don't plan on needing much for layers under this.. Thanks.
I ordered this jacket in a med and yes it was a little bigger than I would want. I am 5'9" and 140bls with 38" chest. I need a small for a closer fit, fyi. Returned it with BC super easy return policy.

New NCUA board member says he looks forward to addressing the challenges facing the credit union industry.
NCUA Board Member Fryzel responds to a recent CU Times column bemoaning Washington and rulemaking.
In 1990, there were five credit unions with more than a billion dollars in assets. In 2013, there were 207. Trends like that are ignored at their own risk.
Thirty-three year agency veteran was director of the Dodd-Frank mandated Office of Minority and Women Inclusion.
Do you remember when Burger King extolled the size of its hamburgers with the jingle, "The bigger the burger the better the burger, the burgers are bigger at Burger King?"
Before social media took over, there was this strange form of communication called face-to-face conversation. Two people would actually stand in the same room, look at one another and exchange thoughts and ideas through verbal interaction. For those of you who remember this form of communication, you may recall that...
Recently, there has been conversation about a petition put forth by an individual seeking to secure a seat on the NCUA Board. The campaign to secure a position is based on the premise that a candidate for the office should be required to take a litmus test to confirm that...
It is that time of year again, time for the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference. Thousands of credit union professionals and volunteers will come to our nation's capital to hear speakers ranging from television and sports personalities, authors, senators and congressman to federal regulators.
Blankenberger is currently the associate regional director for programs at the NCUA's Region IV office in Austin, Texas.
The recently released report on unbanked and underbanked households by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation should be yet another wake-up call for financial institutions across this country and especially credit unions.

Answer 1
It means the #4 and #6 cylinders are misfiring. It could be spark plugs, ignition coils, incorrect air-fuel ratio, control module or wiring problem, internal mechanical failure, restricted exhaust. The #4 and 6 cylinders are the middle and the last ones at the driver side. It's not a good idea to run the engine in this condition, misfire can permanently damage your catalytic converters. I think - since the noise is coming from the front, belt area - the problem could be with the harmonic balancer / vibration dampener. It's the pulley mounted to the crank shaft. This also could cause a misfire. The outer ring of the pulley could separate from the rubber and could slip on it, causing the noise. In same case it could also move backward and grind on the cam cover. Check that area well and let us know what did you find. Zee - ZeeTech
Answer 2
The P0300 is for multiple cylinders misfire, the P0304 and P0306 is for cylinder misfire on cylinders #4 and #6. The noise may be the actual sound of the misfire. If plugs are old enough then start by replacing them. Other tune related components may be in need also. Your owners manual tells you when to do this. It is always better to replace these components before you have problems and not wait till have the probs. If recently changed plugs then will need to inspect #4 and #6 plugs for probs. Could also be coils or wires or etc. - raiderron

Having launched last week and being reviewed today is AMD's Radeon R9 Fury X, the company's new flagship single-GPU video card. Featuring a fully enabled Fiji GPU, the R9 Fury X is AMD's new Fiji GPU at its finest, and a safe bet to be the grandest video card AMD releases built on TSMC's 28nm process. Fiji is clocked high, cooled with overkill, and priced to go right up against the only GM200 GeForce card from NVIDIA that anyone cares about: the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/28/12
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Detroit Pistons forward Austin Daye wasn't surprised by Will Bynum's offensive dominance against the Miami Heat on Friday night. But nearly everyone else in the building had trouble believing what Bynum and the Pistons accomplished, even if the Heat was without Dwyane Wade. Bynum had 25 points and 10 assists off the bench as the Pistons ended the Heat's six-game winning streak with a 109-99 victory at The Palace on Friday night. "It's nothing new to me. I see it every day," Daye said. "Me and him play two-on-two together in practice, and I see it all the time. It felt good to be out there with him." Charlie Villanueva supplied 18 points for the Pistons (10-22), who got 64 points from their bench while snapping a seven-game losing streak to the Heat. LeBron James' 35 points and Chris Bosh's 28 topped Miami (20-7), which couldn't overcome Wade's absence. Wade was suspended one game without pay on Thursday for flailing his leg and making contact with the...

Let's see how this goes...
I'm a laid back down to earth kind of guy. I'm a nerd at heart and have a penchant for remembering random facts and movie quotes. I live an active lifestyle(hiking, running, cycling, walks on the beach) and am usually trying out new recipes. I find cooking to be therapeutic and jump at the opportunity to grill. I try going to live concerts when a favorite artist or group is in town(Hey Jack Johnson, it's been 3 years, release a new album already!) and I'm always down to go see my Clippers live(die hard since 1990!!!). I love to hang out with my friends and try new restaurants as well as finding new outdoorsy endeavors. At times I'll be a home body where Netflix and a good dinner is the best way to end my night. I've been told that I have a mysterious side to me...I don't know about that, maybe it stems from the fact that I find myself in deep thought from time to time(I come from a line of philosophical thinkers, no joke). I'm looking for a girl who also has quirks. Whether you're also a nerd or a little weird is a plus in my opinion=) Someone who has an adventurous side and is up for a little spontaneity from time to time. I definitely want to find someone who knows what she wants in life and is either working towards her goal or is content with where she is in life. A good heart, compassion and sense of humor are all big plus's. If you want to know anything else, inquire within.

I enjoy photography and almost anything that has to do with the outdoors. I'd rather be out doing some form of exercise than staying at home watching tv. I enjoy concerts and watching the Clippers play live .

In desperation, he lets his yoga-instructor girlfriend take him on a spiritual retreat to gain a new perspective on life. However, staying at a retreat that operates on another dimension and flying around with beings from outer space are probably not the easiest ways for a guy to discover that he has a purpose on this planet.

Death penalty costs
Re: your Dec. 10 article, "Death penalty's cost to California more than $120 million a year":
The article omits the reasons for the high costs of capital punishment in California. The costs are not inherent to the penalty, but rather the result of deliberate and improper delaying by penalty opponents who see the current economic climate as an opportunity to abolish it in California once and for all.
Since passage of Proposition 8 in 1982, the California Supreme Court has been governed by the U.S. Constitution in deciding whether evidence gathered in criminal cases, including death penalty cases, was properly collected and admitted into evidence. The 9th Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, which also review these death penalty cases, are governed by the same body of law. Other federal circuit courts, like those with jurisdiction over states such as Texas and Virginia, have no trouble expeditiously deciding death penalty appeals using the exact same law.
If the death penalty system is broken it is because some key players, including federal judges, defense attorneys and legislators opposed to the death penalty, do everything in their power to hinder and obstruct implementation of the penalty in California. Their maneuvers have included failing to provide funding for appellate attorneys and delaying the filing of legal briefs to avoid approving a death penalty verdict. In addition, if California were to properly fund the death penalty appeals process, it would be shortened dramatically.
Families who've lost loved ones to murderous death row inmates, along with the public at large, deserve honest arguments from California's capital punishment opponents. Citing deliberately inflated costs isn't one of them.

1918 Johnny McDermott Signed Photograph. In 1911, Johnny McDermott became the first American-born player to win the National Golf Championship and still today McDermott is the youngest US Open Champion of all time at age 19. All previous US Open winners (1895-1910) had been born in the UK. In 1912, McDermott won again, but shortly after being rescued from a ship accident in 1914, McDermott blacked out at his host club Atlantic City and he spent the balance of his life in mental hospitals. This is an extremely rare and significant piece. This is his "official" US Open 8 X 10 portrait photo sitting with his trophy. His bold signature, inscription and date (1918) are in the lower right corner where unfortunately the contrast is weak, though technically 9+/10 in strength. This is, however, the only known 8 X 10 signed photo of Johnny McDermott to exist, and photo itself is NRMT+. LOA from Mark Emerson. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.

The Wall Street Crash and Depression
In 1928 the new Republican president Herbert Hoover confidently stated, 'We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land.' Within a year, all the confidence had ended and America was plunged into the Depression.
When the Wall Street stock market crashed in October 1929, the world economy was plunged into the Great Depression. By the winter of 1932, America was in the depths of the greatest economic depression [Economic depression: The slowing of economic activity, which usually results in high unemployment, a sharp drop in prices and a fall in production. ] in its history.
The number of unemployed people reached upwards of 13 million. Many people lived in primitive conditions close to famine. One New York family moved into a cave in Central Park. In St Louis, more than 1,000 people lived in shacks made from scrap metal and boxes. There were many similar Hoovervilles all over America. Between 1 and 2 million people travelled the country desperately looking for work. Signs saying 'No Men Wanted' were displayed all over the country.
By the time of the election in November 1932, Hoover's popularity had reached rock bottom. It was not even safe for him to go onto the streets to campaign. After his heavy defeat, Hoover told his friends,
"we are at the end of our string... there is nothing more we can do". The American economy did not fully recover until the USA entered the Second World War in December 1941.

Just took up the sport of golfing. This venue has provided a local area foe us novices to learn and practice this sport at a reasonable cost.
Thank you for your kind words. We are proud of our shorter west 9 course and driving range and practice facilities at the Eagle golf Academy at Brooklea. We have tried hard to keep our prices reasonable to enable golfers to enjoy a facility right here in Midland. It is gratifying to know that our efforts have been recognized. Thank...
You will enjoy. Especially the Sunday brunch. Great location and lots of good food.
Reasonable pricing, and easy access.
Drop by and enjoy, but make a reservation.
Thank you for your kind words. We really appreciate your review.
All the best,
Michael Scherloski and Family
This is a Sunday destination not to be missed. Brunch is the best. Lots of choices in quality prepared foods. Service is excellent. Price is very reasonable.
If possible get a window seat to overlook the beautiful golf course. I suggest reservations.
Have been a member of the club several years, usually just have lunch and drinks after a game.
But for a treat, my wife and I have the Sunday brunch.
Always a very good spread, table for 2 usually overlooks the course and the view, inside and outside, is very attractive.
And for 2011, the price was reduced. Great brunch...

If in 10 days Hendricks doesn't do the VADA, make a note of it. If he fails a test make a big deal about it... but until then there is no news story here. Even if he doesn't do the VADA he's with in his right not too. Maybe he's too busy training and chewing chaw. I don't really care. Wake me up on fight night, and if fails the test.
Edit; i owe you some rep, gotta spread some around first but in the near future you will get some.
No he hasn't in this instance, I agree. I was busting his balls for greasing during the BJ Penn fight way back when... I repeat, there is no news story here. Just two guys training to fight. If GSP wants to take extra tests that's awesome, if he wants to pay for Hendricks to take them that cool too.
No news but the gsp dick riders talk shit but when it "turns around on gsp" they cry lol.
I agree with it not being news. Just getting old with the gsp dick riding tho. The guy's fights are nothing but a snoozefest these days.

Statistical model comparison applied to common network motifs

Network motifs are small modules that show interesting functional and dynamic properties, and are believed to be the building blocks of complex cellular processes. However, the mechanistic details of such modules are often unknown: there is uncertainty about the motif architecture as well as the functional form and parameter values when converted to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This translates into a number of candidate models being compatible with the system under study. A variety of statistical methods exist for ranking models including maximum likelihood-based and Bayesian methods. Our objective is to show how such methods can be applied in a typical systems biology setting.
We focus on four commonly occurring network motif structures and show that it is possible to differentiate between them using simulated data and any of the model comparison methods tested. We expand one of the motifs, the feed forward (FF) motif, for several possible parameterizations and apply model selection on simulated data. We then use experimental data on three biosynthetic pathways in Escherichia coli to formally assess how current knowledge matches the time series available. Our analysis confirms two of them as FF motifs. Only an expanded set of FF motif parameterisations using time delays is able to fit the third pathway, indicating that the true mechanism might be more complex in this case.
Maximum likelihood as well as Bayesian model comparison methods are suitable for selecting a plausible motif model among a set of candidate models. Our work shows that it is practical to apply model comparison to test ideas about underlying mechanisms of biological pathways in a formal and quantitative way.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN NFL insider: Mike McCoy the 'leader in the clubhouse' for Cardinals job
ESPN NFL insider John Clayton does not know who the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals will be, but he told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday he believes Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy has a good shot.
"I honestly think it could be Mike McCoy," he said. "When you look at it, Mike McCoy is probably the hottest of the assistant coaches."
McCoy, who interviewed with the Cardinals last Saturday, is looked at as one of the top assistant coaches ready to make the leap to the head job.
An assistant on the Carolina Panthers' staff from 2000-2008, the Broncos hired McCoy to run their offense in 2008. He's credited for being able to get the most out of the talent he has to work with on offense, which has to be intriguing to a team like Arizona.
"He was able to work so well with Peyton Manning and he's done so well when he worked with Jake Delhomme," continued Clayton. "He's ready, and so he would be the hottest guy.
"When you start to handicap it, knowing that they have a good chance to go to the Super Bowl or at the very least they're going to be in the championship game, you have to wait for Mike McCoy."
And therein lies the rub with regards to McCoy. While a team like the Cardinals may want him and he may want the Cardinals, he cannot go anywhere until the Broncos are eliminated from the playoffs. And as the AFC's top seed, there is a good chance they'll be playing in Super Bowl XLVII.
But as Clayton said, the Cardinals might be one of the few teams that can afford to wait on someone like McCoy. After all, with defensive coordinator Ray Horton already in the fold, there wouldn't be pressure to quickly hire a capable coaching staff.
"If you have the defensive staff in place and you know what you want to try to do on offense, then I think you're in a position to get Mike McCoy," Clayton said. "I think Mike McCoy is the leader in the clubhouse if this team is willing to wait."

President Obama made a brief statement after wrapping up debt talks with Senate and House leaders held this morning. The President said "people were frank," but that both sides came to the meeting with attitudes of compromise.
"Everybody acknowledged that we have to get this done before the hard line of August 2," he said. "Everyone acknowledged there would be pain involved."
However, Obama also said nothing had been agreed to and that talks will continue through the weekend. He will meet with Senate and House leaders again on Sunday to "engage in the hard bargaining necessary to get things done."

A 2010 movie and the First film in M. Night Shyamalan's The Night Chronicles< read all 10 reviews
I am not very familiar with the works of M. Night Shyamalan, but I am looking to be. Devil is not directed by Shyamalan, but it has his name attached to it and I'm sure that turned a lot of people off this movie. It may seem kind of hip to make fun of him right now, but you look at The Last Airbender and The Happening and say he doesn't deserve it. However, Devil is one of the better works he has had his name attached to. It has laughable acting and a bad script, but it has a promising premise and it kept me interested until the very end.
Devil is one of three movies in the planned Night Chronicles trilogy, and it is about five seemingly random people who end up stuck in an elevator under seemingly random circumstances. Those people are Sara (AKA The Young Woman), Jane (AKA The Old Woman), Tony (AKA The Mechanic), Ben (AKA The Security Guard) and Vince (AKA The Salesman). The movie is narrated by a security guard named Ramirez who is telling a story that his mother told him as a child, about how the devil entraps sinners in an enclosed area, makes them recant and then kills them one by one. Things in the movie are set in motion with a suicide, a man who jumps out a glass window and lands on a truck. But things start to get weirder when they find that the elevator won't move no matter what they do and the lights keep going out. People in the elevator are also dropping like flies and on top of all that, one may be Satan in human form. Basis for a joke? No, but the basis for a fiendishly promising premise that ends up getting a few small thrills and keeps me on my toes from beginning to end, although one would think that the Devil has better things to do than torture a bunch of white-collar criminals in an elevator.
With the plot summarized, let me give credit where credit is due. Whoever came up with the premise for this movie knows what they are talking about. Not the script, the script was terrible, but the basic story. It was almost Agatha Christie-esque in its mystery and it borrowed some story elements from one of my favourite books And Then There Were None, except with half the people. The story was good, but the script was bad. The dialogue was laughable and considering that this is technically a horror film, laughing isn't exactly a good thing. Now would also probably be a good time to talk about the twist ending. Shyamalan's signature twist ending is in here too, and I must admit that it was rather clever, but I figured it out 40 or 50 minutes into the movie. I'm not going to give it away, but I kind of saw it coming, even if some won't.
Now onto the acting. I don't think the actors in this movie were terrible, and their characters weren't all that well written, but the acting is still far from good. I would have to say that the best actor in the movie was Chris Messina who played the detective in charge of solving the devil case. His character would be considered the protagonist if the movie had one, because his storyline involves the fact that he is a recovering alcoholic who started drinking after a hit-and-run that killed his wife and kid, and most of the action outside the elevator has him in it. The rest of the actors were in the same camp: decent, but not great.
The movie as a whole is pretty predictable, but I would say that it's worth checking out if you just want a decent low-budget thriller. If you're afraid the movie is too scary, it isn't. However, it it relies heavily on jump-scares so if you are easily scared by jump-scares than this probably isn't the movie for you. The acting is okay, the script is pretty bad, but the story is promising and I can't wait to see the other two Night Chronicles films. All in all, far from good, but far from bad either.

Mexican Americans: The Ambzvalent Minority. By Peter Skerry. (New York: The Free
Press, 1993. Pp. ix+463. Acknowledgments, notes, index. ISBN 0-02929-
132-1. $27.95.)
Much of the ambivalence faced by Mexican Americans today, according to Pe-
ter Skerry, centers on whether Mexican Americans are an ethnic immigrant
group or a racial minority. The first, according to Skerry, suggests "a positive
identification with an ethnic and cultural heritage" while the second implies a
self-image of a victimized racial minority (p. 15). Skerry argues that national po-
litical changes have increasingly benefitted racial minorities which has encour-
aged Mexican Americans to shift their own view of themselves from ethnic
immigrants to racial minorities.
Skerry successfully argues his point by comparing the diametrically opposed
political methods of the Mexican Americans in San Antonio and Los Angeles. In
San Antonio the old style of patronage, or patr6n politics with strong grassroots
involvement, is gradually but inevitably giving way to the big-money national po-
litical party politics of Los Angeles where there is strong elite control on the
state level but little local interest. Skerry analyzes the effectiveness of these two
forms of politics in providing political power for Mexican Americans and sug-
gests that the local patronage system of San Antonio works effectively on the lo-
cal level but does little for Mexican Americans on the state or national level. In
Los Angeles, on the other hand, the elite governing clique is able to affect both
state and local politics because of the weakness of neighborhoods and the tran-
sient nature of the Mexican American society.
Particularly revealing are the differences in the methods and successes of the
two community action groups organized by Ernesto Cortes based on Saul Alin-
sky's Chicago community organization methods. In San Antonio the Communi-
ties Organized for Public Service (COPS) retains its local roots and works most
effectively through the parish churches, while in Los Angeles the United Neigh-
borhoods Organization (UNO) remains an effective state-level political group
with little local support. National political changes, according to Skerry, have
created the growing rift between Mexican Americans and the larger society. His
analysis provides proof, controversial though it may be, that Mexican American
political leaders have led their constituents into the "not entirely appropriate, di-
visive, and counterproductive stance of a racial minority group" (p. 367). Skerry
notes ironically that "in the past when Mexicans were more likely to be treated
like a racial minority, they denied it, today when they experience dramatically
fewer racial barriers, their leaders are intent on defining them as a minority" (p.
