The Stand Is Going to Be Four Movies
After Stephen King said not to count on The Stand being only one film, writer-director Josh Boone confirms that it won't. It's going to be four. »

Tusk is a movie about a young man who is held captive and mutilated to become a monstrous human/walrus creature. Straight up, if that premise doesn't excite you, do not see this movie. But if the idea of a Kevin Smith man-rus movie sparks your morbid curiosity, then boy, have we got a winner for you. »
Kevin Smith's horror movie Tusk is about an old man who kidnaps a younger man, drugs him, and then slowly turns him into a human walrus. But this idea didn't just pop into Silent Bob's head. First it was a real-life ad for a roommate, a listing so odd it inspired a horror movie. »
Yikes. Tusk is one part Misery, one part man-to-walrus body mutilation movie. We're really not sure what to expect from Kevin Smith's latest — but he's definitely horrifying us. »
Good news for the non-color blind! Despite the picture tweeted last week of Ben Affleck as Batman in Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman Vs. Superman movie, in which it appeared that Batfleck would be another dark Dark Knight director Kevin Smith says the batsuit he saw was definitely decked out in Batman's most traditional… »
In an interview with Kevin Smith, writer and television producer Paul Dini complained about a worrying trend he sees in television animation and superhero shows in particular: executives spurning female viewers because they believe girls and women don't buy the shows' toys. »
Good news for everyone who is tired of watching Batman put on varying styles of matte black armor in all of his movies — director and pal of Ben Affleck Kevin Smith says Zack Snyder has shown him the new costume, and that it will be totally different from anything that's come before in the Bat-movies. »
Grant Morrison delivered a bit of a mindfuck on Wednesday. Strangely, he didn't do it in one of his own comics, but by revealing the secret end of Alan Moore's seminal Batman graphic novel The Killing Joke — namely, that Batman actually murders the Joker at the end. »
In director Kevin Smith's Gen-X staple Mallrats, the character Willam (Ethan Suplee) spends the majority of the film fruitlessly attempting to see a schooner hidden in a Magic Eye stereographic image. But thanks to some 21st century Photoshop manipulation, we learn that there's good reason Willam never could see that… »
The history of science fiction is full of unforgettable characters. So it's no surprise that famous writers often appear in fiction themselves — either by name, or wearing the thinnest of disguises. Here are our 10 favorite science-fiction writer cameos. »
Man, superheroes have gone through the wringer lately. First, Italian artist Giuseppe Veneziano opened a controversial show that features superheroes behaving badly. Also, Kevin Smith wrote an in-canon comic of Batman peeing his pants. Yes, you read that right. »
A long time ago, Nicolas Cage started a fan war when he was selected to play Tim Burton's Superman in the final adventure of the Man Of Steel. Now test pictures have leaked of the actor in the blue suit. »
Just announced during the DC Nation panel, Kevin Smith will be writing a three-issue Batman miniseries, Batman: Cacophony, starting in November. The miniseries will bring Onomatopoeia, the villain from Smith's Green Arrow run, into the Batman universe, as well as featuring appearances from the Joker and other more… »

Unfortunately, the Veterans Jobs Bill was based on politics and not on a real solution to helping veterans get jobs. The Democrats use of veteran in the bill indicates a focus on trying to help unemployed veterans. According to Senator Coburn, there are a total of six job programs already available to veterans. One such program, the VOW To Hire Heroes Act, was signed by President Obama in November of 2011. The Act provides businesses tax credits as an incentive to hire veterans and seeks to improve the transition from the military to the civilian workforce. Also, the Federal government already provides funding for local police and fire departments to hire personnel.The Republicans just voted No again on a Jobs bill for returning Vets, that is no surprize, I just cant figure out how they are the Party that represents the Military, they allways vote No when it envolves the soldiers, did u see the documentary about the War Contactors, WOW, if U vote Republican you are just voting for Karl Rove, he tells them all when to jump, and what to say, Im glad people are starting to b more aware, Rand Paul and the Tea Party, are just the Insurance Co, Lobby and Big Pharma. Please wake up KY!!
The Democrats bill focused on increasing the size of government and adding to the debt. Did they think that would be supported by the smaller government and fiscally conservative Republicans? Of course not. The Democrats knew that bill would not have passed the House but decided to push ahead with it in the Senate. This was done as an opportunity to label Republicans as disinterested in helping unemployed veterans.
An election season is a prime opportunity to divide and conquer any and all groups for voters. The Democrats ploy shows they are interested in politics and not with veteran unemployment. Instead of introducing additional bills, and debt, they should review the existing veteran employment programs for effectiveness. That would show that they do care about veterans and the country.

Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) wearing tailored golf trousers by Mathieson & Brooke Tailors at The Shooting Stars Benefit 2010
Taking tailoring in to the sporting environment is a natural progression for M&BT owner David Brooke.
"Evidence shows that to perform at your best you need to have every part of your preperation absolutely perfect. In business we believe that what you wear should form an integral part of this preperation process and sport is no different."
Since launching the golf collection 5 years ago, M&BT have made horse riding jackets for Olympic champions and golf trousers for European Tour competitors. Every one of these clients would endorse the fact that what you wear breads confidence and confidence drive success.
The psychology behind confidence is rarely more evident than in sport and designing a blue label garment WILL give you more confidence.
Made to measure & Bespoke golf trousers by mobile tailor Mathieson & Brooke Tailors Ltd have been designed by pros and worn by Hollywood celebrities. They opitomise M&BT's psychological appoach that if you look good you perform better and ultimately become more successful. Our winning partnership with professional golfer Matthew Cryer is testimony to this philosophy.
Made using specially selected fabrics M&BT's made-to-measure golf trousers use cutting edge styles and unique fabric engineering techniques to create a truely superb pair of golfing trousers that fit you perfectly. Every pair is unique, so you will be the only person in the world to be teeing off in your M&BT made-to-measure golf trousers.
M&BT launched their collection of made-to-measure golf trousers in 2007. Since then the range has gone from strength to strength and is now stocked in the prestigous Brocket Hall Golf Club in Hertfordshire.
There are a number of attributes that make M&BT's golf trousers so good:
1. The Pockets are double bagged which means that you can put your tees and pitch forks in them with the confidence that the fabric isn't going to tear.
2. You have a choice of pockets although we typically put frog mouth pockets on the front and 1 zip and 1 open (for the score card) on the rear.
3. You have vented cuffs which break much better on the shoe and also give you the opportunity to choose a different colour trim for that added personalisation.
4. As always you have a wide range of fabrics to choose from but we have also hand selected some particularly durable, and bright fabrics for our core collection. It is these fabrics that are available for sale on this website.

Matthew Koch, owner of Kelko Products on George Street, reported Friday morning two men had stolen 2,400 pounds of scrap steel worth $312.
An employee of the business saw the men racing away in a black Mercury Mariner with heavy damage to the front windshield. That same vehicle was seen Wednesday on Campbell Street, where two men were removing scrap metal.
Sandusky police told the men to put the items back and gave them their second warning for stealing scrap metal.
A paper belonging to one of those men was found in the area of the theft at Kelko Products.
The Register is not naming the suspects because they have not been charged.

Japan's Sharp curbs iPad screen output as Apple manages inventory: Sources
Published on Jan 19, 2013 6:29 AM
TOKYO/SEOUL (REUTERS) - Sharp Corp has nearly halted production of 9.7-inch screens for Apple Inc's iPad, two sources said, possibly as demand shifts to its smaller iPad mini.
Sharp's iPad screen production line at its Kameyama plant in central Japan has fallen to the minimal level to keep the line running this month after a gradual slowdown began at the end of 2012 as Apple manages its inventory, the industry sources with knowledge of Sharp's production plans told Reuters.
Sharp has stopped shipping iPad panels, the people with knowledge of the near total production shutdown said. The exact level of remaining screen output at Sharp was not immediately clear but it was extremely limited, they said.
Company spokesman Miyuki Nakayama said: "We don't disclose production levels".

Best Running Hat Ever!
I used this hat for the first time in a triathlon, and now I want to order more! It stays on perfectly-no creeping or pinching/binding. There are no adjustments, just a nice elastic. I usually sweat so much I have to carry a little sweat rag, but his hat kept the sweat from rolling down toward my eyes. I never knew I could be so happy about a hat!

When Alan Romick founded Headsweats® Perspiration Technology in 1998, he did so after years of being frustrated by things like migrating sunscreen, heavy-sweat blindness and odd sunburn patterns from his helmet. Romick was a shoe-industry veteran and had been a cyclist for years. He was determined to create headwear that actually worked.
Romick used feedback from the cycling community to take the best attributes of what was available and improve upon it. Little did he know that his prototype, Headsweats Classic Race Hat, would quietly become the go-to headwear option for athletes around the world.
Headsweats expanded its line to include over 17 items available in over 140 colors and styles. Soon after, the company's products were seen on athletes winning events such as the Ironman Kona and Charles Regatta. The Headsweats Go Hat, as well as Headsweats CoolMax Classic skullcaps and Headsweats Topless headbands now lead their respective industries in the sports of triathlon, rowing, and adventure-racing. The makers use innovative technology to produce washable, airlight headwear with supreme moisture-wicking capabilities.
Athletes can still purchase the Headsweats Ultralite Hat. They can also try numerous other products in the company's line — products such as the Headsweats Go Hat, the Headsweats Supervisor, the Headsweats Ultralite Hat, or the Headsweats CoolMax Shorty.

ISSUE: U.S. Supreme Court ruling on marriage
OUR VIEW: Legal change doesn't change societal rift
In a nation with sharply defined political and social opinions, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision opening the door to full recognition of same-sex marriage also potentially opens the door for more social, emotional and personal conflict.

Very nice work man! I'm going to have to try bands with my boards. Makes sense.

Yeah, I like to use the ball occasionally. It definitely makes me focus on tightening my back while I press.
Ben, I like adding the bands to boards cause it really kills any bounce / momentum off the boards and makes you truly lock out instead of heave.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI - AUGUST 06: Jay Haas plays a shot during a practice round prior to the 90th PGA Championship at Oakland Hills Country Club on August 6, 2008 in Bloomfield Township, Michigan. (Photo by Hunter Martin/Getty Images)
Only Jay Haas knows what it's like to take the biggest lead in Principal Charity Classic history into the final round. Haas handled the pressure of an equally large cushion just fine five years ago, so the odds for an unprecedented third Champions Tour title in Iowa are certainly in his favor. Haas will carry a three-shot lead into the final round at Glen Oaks Country Club after shooting a bogey-free 6-under 65 on Saturday. Haas also led by three after two rounds when he won the senior event in Iowa in 2007. He repeated as champion in 2008 by rallying from two strokes down in the final round. ''It wasn't comfortable then. It probably won't be comfortable now. But it beats being three behind I guess,'' Haas said. Larry Mize eagled the 18th hole to get within three of Haas at 8-under 134. Tom Lehman is four strokes back, followed by Andrew Magee at 6 under. Fred Funk and Kenny Perry lead four players at 5-under 137. Haas began the day two shots behind unheralded first-round lea...

The full online chat from Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Torro about THE HOBBIT is available here.
A highlight was del Toro's discussion on the use of CGI in the movie, which he will direct:
"I plan to mix CGI and PHYSICAL in such a way that your eye wonders which is which- keep you mind busy but NEVER allowing for the weaknesses of either tool to take over. Yes, I have, by trial and error, learned that both tools need to be mixed and how much they must be mixed to succeed in creating environments and living creatures. WETA is the lead house, absolutely but we will expand the creature team and beef up the prosthetics team. Imagine a physical creature with a radio controlled muscle/facial system but with partial CGI replacement on the head or mouth, etc and you'll start to get the idea," del Toro wrote.
Jackson and del Toro answered 60 questions in an hour from more than 6,000 fans and 4,000 questions.

I would have given 5 stars but there are two things that are frustrating: it's pricey and can be difficult to spray. I use sunscreen everyday because I'm skin cancer phobic. The other thing is I'm a fit young woman but I have an extremely difficult time pressing the spray nozzle down with my left finger (granted, I'm right handed). Those two things aside, it provides AMAZING protection--even after perspiring for several hours. It does have a light scent that smells nothing like traditional sunscreens. Another reviewer said it smelled like Orange Creamsicles and I couldn't describe it better myself. One other reviewer said it was bad for fabrics but I haven't experienced that.This is going to be my new sunscreen so I'll just have to deal with the price and "sticky" nozzle.
Most Liked Negative Review
great for sun, bad for fabric
This works well to prevent sunburn but it is sticky and it stains any white fabric it comes into contact with, I'm going to try another brand

Comments about Ocean Potion Suncare Water Sport Sunscreen Continuous Spray, SPF 30, 6 fl oz:
I liked this when I bought it, but I didn't use it all that summer, and the next year, the sprayer got clogged after two uses and I couldn't get any more out of the bottle; had to throw away 2/3.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Epic Fail
By Not strong enough for sunscreen
from Detroit, MI
Brought a couple of bottles of Ocean Potion SPF 30 to supplement the sunscreen we had. 1st bottle - turn on, attempt to spray... nothing. With two hand pressure and a lot of force it worked, but made the process of applying sunscreen unecessarily painful. The second bottle had the same problem.

Pesto genovese is a bright green Italian sauce that traditionally consists of garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and basil. These days you can make a pesto sauce from any number of combinations of vegetables, herbs and nuts. Some examples include arugula, spinach, and kale, just to name a few.
Pesto is great spread on sandwiches and pizza, tossed with pasta, or used as a salad dressing. While store bought pesto does the job in a pinch, make your own whenever the opportunity arises. No jar can replicate the taste of fresh chopped basil and garlic. These recipes illustrate pesto's infinite versatility in the kitchen.
Cauliflower and Potato Salad with Pesto Dressing
Recipe from Keepin it Kind
If you're burnt out on Caesar salads, Chinese chicken salads, or any other salad that's in your weekly rotation, give this cauliflower and potato salad a try. Grilled cauliflower is paired with tender potatoes and peas on a bed of spinach. Fragrant homemade basil pesto is drizzled over the top to bring this whole dish together.
Pesto Pasta Salad

Pressed Caprese Sandwich
Recipe from The Wholesome Dish
This simple 5 ingredient sandwich comes together in a flash with the help from your favorite store bought pesto.

You can either use a panini press or a heavy cast iron skillet with two cans to weigh down the sandwiches.

John Klose and Jared Coles make pipes in the same workshop, from the same materials, using the same methods.
This is not what makes J&J pipes great.
Greatness happens because every detail, crack and crevice is judged by two critical minds.
Greatness happens because of the united aesthetic. An aesthetic which embraces the old world traditions rooted in the English pipes of the early 20th century, celebrates the grace and technique of the Danes, and embraces the freedom from symmetry of the Japanese school. When you see a pipe that speaks to you, you're in good company: two people already adore it.
John and Jared live near Yosemite, CA, one of the most visually arresting places on the planet. There is something more powerful about Yosemite than its size and beauty, it does something to the soul: it causes wonder. It is this sense of wonder that led John and Jared into the world of pipemaking, seeking to create and reflect the transcendent beauty that surrounds them.
John grew up outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and moved to the foothills between Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks during grade school. He attended Sierra high school in Auberry, CA. He received his first pipe at the age of 12 as a costume prop, and when he turned 18, was primed to become a full-fledged pipe smoker. All through college and university he worked in the mountains around Yosemite at a camp, where he used his boy scout experience to become a jack-of-all-trades; climbing, spelunking, auto mechanics, beer drinking, woodworking, leather working, and of course, pipesmoking. After graduating from Fresno Pacific University with a degree in communications, he worked in video production, while pursuing his passion for pipe making along with Jared.
Jared grew up in the orange groves of the eastern San Joaquin Valley. He was homeschooled through high school, after which he attended College of the Sequoias and University of California at Irvine, graduating with a degree in economics. During his time in Orange County, he started to dabble in pipe making and he found it to be quite addictive, luckily without too much detriment to his studies. After he graduated, he got married and moved to San Diego while his wife finished school at UCSD. He contacted Jeff Gracik of J. Alan pipes and was able to witness the making of a truly high grade pipe. When he moved back to the Central Sierras of California, he took this knowledge and passion with him, and J&J Artisan Pipes began.

Flintridge Proper chef is chopped from reality TV

A local sous chef who competed on the Food Network's weekly competition, "Chopped," participated in a question-and-answer session Sunday night after patrons of his workplace, the Flintridge Proper , watched the program on a TV there. Though he placed second in the competition, Eli Irland said he gained some valuable knowledge and a fellow food expert in his kitchen, along the way. Originally hailing from Wayne, Maine, Irland learned his cooking skills initially at Paragon, an elite culinary school in Colorado Springs, Colo.
New leads found in old murder
By Daniel Siegal, firstname.lastname@example.com
February 1, 2012
A dozen years after La Cañada residents Harold "Skip" Tillman and his wife, Joni, were found buried in remote graves, investigators say they have new developments regarding the murders, but are staying tight-lipped about any details. "There are some things that we're working on, but it's not anything I can divulge right now," said Det. Ryan Ford of the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department Cold Case Homicide Division. "It's definitely a case that we have open and we're actively seeking out additional leads and information." Skip Tillman, an accountant, and Joni, a homemaker, were last seen dining at J.J. Steakhouse in Pasadena on Feb. 6, 2000.

It departs at 9:45 a.m. from La Cañada Flintridge for the Santa Monica Pier, returning to Memorial Park on Foothill Boulevard around 4:55 p.m. There are other pick-up and drop-off locations in the Crescenta Valley, including Two Strike Park, the La Crescenta Public Library and the southeast corner of Montrose Avenue and Ocean View Boulevard. The bus will be in service through Labor Day. Round trip fare is $3 for children and adults and $1.50 for seniors and disabled passengers.
Civic Leader Thomas Jeffers, Jr. Dies at 77
July 19, 2007
A Funeral Mass has been set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 21 at St. Bede the Venerable Church for Thomas Joseph Jeffers, Jr., who died July 5, 2007 of cardiac arrest. Born Dec. 8, 1929, Tom was baptized at Holy Redeemer Church in Montrose and was reared in La Cañada. Tom's grandparents, the Meyers family, came to Montrose in the very early 1900s and his mother and father settled in the area in 1923. The Meyers family as well as the Jeffers helped develop Montrose. Tom Jr. continued his interest in Montrose and with four other businessmen, Hugo Ebmeyer, Bob Cooke, Cliff Banks and Don Carpenter, Montrose grew.
July marks 10th anniversary of brutal murders

It's a decade this month since La Crescenta resident Frank Hoogenhuizen discovered the bodies of Blaine Talmo Jr., 14, of La Crescenta, and Christopher McCulloch, 13, of La Cañada Flintridge, but time has done nothing to ease the memory. Hoogenhuizen and his wife, Grace, spent July 23, 2000, inside, avoiding the sweltering summer heat. At 8 p.m. he ventured into the yard, glanced over his back wall and saw two neighborhood boys lying on the playground blacktop at Valley View Elementary School, which abuts his property.

He is 27 years old, stands fit and trim at 6'2'' and will return for a second tour of military duty in Iraq sometime this month. His name is Cpl. Michael T. Morton and he is a U.S. Marine. For me, the war in Iraq now has a face. I met Morton and members of his family last Saturday night during a surprise birthday party for his father, Marty Morton, who is director of Maintenance, Facilities and Operations for La Cañada Unified School District. The party in La Crescenta celebrated a dual purpose, as it was also a farewell send-off for Mike.
LCUSD holds on to No. 2 state ranking

The La Cañada Unified School District remains the second-highest achieving public unified school district in California, according to rankings released Thursday by the state Department of Education. LCUSD retained the No. 2 spot behind San Marino Unified despite a five-point drop in the local district's overall Academic Performance Index score, based largely on the results of state tests taken by students in the spring. LCUSD scored 947 out of a possible 1,000 - an "outstanding" number that shows continued strong performance throughout the district in every subject area, said Lindi Dreibelbis, LCUSD's chief director of assessment and research.

More than 60 years since his military service during World War II, First Lt. Frank Colella was finally given the awards he was due. In a ceremony held on Tuesday at his home in La Cañada, Colella was presented with the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Air Medals -- honors he should have been given in 1944. According to Colonel Scott Grundahl, who conducted the ceremony, the Distinguished Flying Cross is one of the highest honors an aviator can receive. The medal was authorized by the Air Corps Act in 1926 and recognizes heroism and extraordinary achievement in an aerial fight.

First, the good news: After nearly three years under a state of water emergency, heavy snowfall and rebounding reservoir levels prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to declare late last month that California's drought is officially over. But rather than turn on the sprinklers with reckless abandon, La Cañada Flintridge residents remain under continued pressure to conserve — if for no other reason than water here has gotten to be fairly expensive. La Cañadans might be surprised to learn they pay up to twice as much for water as their neighbors in Pasadena and Glendale.

A trip down memory lane

Dining With Duvall By Lynn Duvall Last month I enjoyed a meal in the Hoover High School cafeteria, catered by Acapulco. My table mates were strangers, though, like me, they were graduates of the high school. We'd gathered with nearly 100 other grads to work on plans for the upcoming 75th anniversary celebration on May 15. One gentleman talked effusively about the jazz ensemble at the school. His enthusiasm ran very high. Finally, when he stopped for a breath, I asked, "How do you know so much about them?"

Memphis freshman Jake Elliott finishing with a strong kick
In some ways, University of Memphis freshman kicker Jake Elliott still doesn't know how his 56-yard kick found its way through the uprights — after hitting the crossbar — in the team's American Athletic Conference win at South Florida two weeks ago.
But it did, casually slipping through like a VIP at a backstage door.
"I mean, I hit it well, but it was in the air forever," Elliott said. "I thought I hit it a little bit too high. I thought I had needed to drive it a little more to get the distance. Looking back at it, I definitely needed the height, though."
Looking back at his season, Elliott has had a remarkable maiden voyage. Entering Saturday's home finale at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium against Temple, Elliott has made 15-of-16 field goals. His 15th came in last weekend's 24-17 league loss at Louisville and it moved him into some elite company. Elliott's 15 field goals are one shy of the freshman record set by Ryan White in 1998. His 65 points are approaching another mark. The freshman scoring record for a Tiger kicker is 70, also established by White in 1998.
Much of U of M special teams coach James Shibest's interest in Elliott, an unheralded recruit from Western Springs, Ill., centered on his participation in an individual sport. Elliott was a highly regarded prep tennis standout for Lyons Township High and Shibest said that experience likely translated to Elliott's performance as a kicker.
Elliott, who was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist, said it made him mentally stronger.
"You can get frustrated very easily (in tennis) and that shows out on the court," Elliott said. "You can't let it affect you."
Elliott played No. 1 singles for his high school team as a junior and senior, but didn't play enough throughout the year to attain a strong regional ranking. He said he was more interested in playing other sports.
But participating in tennis did provide some memorable moments, including a victory as a preteen over Jared Hiltzik, a multiple winner of national events as a junior tennis player and currently a sophomore at Illinois. Hiltzik is the Fightin' Illini's No. 1 singles player.
"Looking back, that was probably my biggest win," Elliot said.
Now, it's solely football and an opportunity to help Memphis close out with victories over Temple and next week at Connecticut. Elliott, whose 56-yard kick is tied for the longest in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision this season, isn't concerned about topping that distance or setting a freshman record.
"I just have to take every kick one at a time and finish the season out strong," Elliott said.
Central Florida, which moved from Conference USA to the AAC this season, finds itself in an enviable position. If UCF wins Friday night at home against South Florida (2-8) and at SMU Dec. 7, the Knights will win the outright AAC title and claim the league's automatic bid to the Bowl Championship Series.
It would be an achievement for UCF, coming from a conference that didn't have a BCS automatic berth. UCF is 9-1 overall and the only unbeaten team in AAC play at 6-0.
If UCF were to lose its final two games, the winner of Dec. 5 game between Louisville and Cincinnati would determine the BCS representative.
SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who leads the conference in passing and the nation in total offense, left last weekend's game at South Florida before halftime with what was later diagnosed as a sprained MCL. He will not play in Friday's game against Houston and is questionable for the finale against league leader UCF. Gilbert's loss will make it difficult for SMU (5-5) to claim its sixth win and become bowl eligible. SMU has been to four straight bowls under coach June Jones.

"Arranged," the film itself and the story behind its conception, makes for a feel-good holiday story. Inspired by the experiences of Yuta Silverman, "Arranged" was written by Stefan Schaefer after he met with the young Orthodox Jewish woman, who had no previous connections to the New York film world, and decided the tale of her experiences finding a husband through traditional matchmaking was one worth telling. Co-directed by Schaefer and partner Diane Crespo, the final film evidences intimate knowledge of its subject, and even if it waters down that knowledge with pat nods to mainstream fare, it still maintains genuine integrity as a story o...Read More »
Right off the bat, there are two telltale signs in the Hollywood adaptation of "The Kite Runner" that portend the safe, diluted entertainment about to unfold. Perhaps nervous that a prestige drama mostly told in the Afghani language of Dari, and headlined by a cast of unknown middle-Eastern actors, might not sell to the multiplexes, the producers have inserted a fancy, interminable credit sequence, backed by Alberto Iglesias's overly insistent, lute-heavy score, and adorned with some faux-Persian, animated curlicues. Then it's straight to the English-language San Francisco prologue, flatly filmed to look like any anonymous American studio pro...Read More »
Though it's both a predictable culture-clash comedy and a gentle plea for people of different political backgrounds to "just get along," "The Band's Visit" nevertheless manages to use its central contrivances and inevitable cliches to its favor, and becomes something ethereal and winning. This debut from Israeli filmmaker Eran Kolirin, in which the soft-spoken members of an Egyptian brass band (the stodgy Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra, to be precise) find themselves stranded in a small Israeli town on the way to a gig, parlays its initial good-natured dullness into surprisingly robust drama.

Paul Schrader's fascination with life's seamier underside continues in "The Walker," whose titular character, Carter Page III is something of a latter-day incarnation of Richard Gere's American gigolo.

Like its protagonist, Jennifer Venditti's acclaimed documentary "Billy the Kid" is both pretty hard to dislike and difficult to parse. It's already scooped up awards at Edinburgh, Los Angeles, and South by Southwest film festivals, and it's easy to see why: this compelling, ingratiating portrait of some days in the life of a charming and troubled fifteen-year-old New Englander, with its canny intimacy and sharp editing, manages to be up-close-and-personal as well as safely discreet. Venditti, following around the not-quite-outcast teenager Billy verite-style, is inoffensive in her intrusion, yet also manages to make the boy a compelling scree...Read More »

When she was commissioned to make a documentary about Euripedes (a tall order, indeed), filmmaker Jessica Yu instead chose to see if she could apply the classical Greek playwright's dramatic structuring principles to present-day living. Rather than rehash what made the tragedian's works great or set them apart from those of Aeschylus or Sophocles, or probe his dramatic intentions through a flat biography format or literal stagings of his plays, Yu decided to make Euripedes somewhat tangential, a unifying force rather than the center of attention. She then spent a long time trying to find four individuals who would reveal for the camera, in so...Read More »

In the next month, every film critic with a byline or blog will recap the past year in movies and pick ten films as 2007's finest. More likely than not, these lists will serve as springboards for an endless series of harangues on the declining quality of cinema. (Do we really need to be reminded that "Killer of Sheep" -- a movie made 30 years ago -- was the best film released this year? So what? Setting that masterpiece aside, I've seen at least twelve new films in 2007 I'd classify as great.) American cinema is usually a specific punching bag -- especially for writers discerning enough to give credit to the likes of Apichatpong Weerasethakul...Read More »

The purpose of this article is to briefly describe the caching structure of Microsoft Office Performance Point Server (PPS) and to help give a better understanding the caching structure and its function. We'll discuss what information gets cached, where caching takes place and runtime considerations that effect operations.
PPS main functions are working with BI Dashboards, collecting and assembling data from various sources during creation and servicing of said Dashboards. In many real word scenarios, Dashboards are created and updated infrequently, but viewed often. This leads itself to caching being useful and an important part of PPS. Let's explore.
Here is a quick list.
In general, it's what one might expect. Basically information on the Dashboard, Dashboard objects, and the data collected that is needed to populate the Dashboard.
PPS (Performance Point Services for SharePoint) are web parts, web services, and a SharePoint service application. It is commonly a multiple-server configuration with various servers assigned to varying tasks. As such, this complicates the caching model and often times make it difficult to get a good understanding for the whole PPS caching model. Let's look at a diagram.
Here is a basic caching structure overview of a two server configuration.
(1 Application Server/1 Windows Front End (WFE))
This diagram has the caching broken down into three areas. There is nothing fundamental about this grouping but it does help us here with conversation points. Here is some more detail.
Data: In general, this is the data gathered and queried that is needed to populate a Dashboard. Data caching can take place on the raw query results themselves but can often be further processed data sets. A good example of this would be a scorecard grid data. Caching takes place on many different data sources not just Analysis Services data. Because all data collection is done on the Application Server, this is where this caching takes place. We can adjust the duration of this caching using the Cache Lifetime and Refresh Interval settings PPS data sources.
Application Objects: This caching area contains PPS objects such as, KPIs, Scorecards, Data Sources, Indicators, etc., which are stored in SharePoint Lists and Documents Libraries and which are needed to create Dashboards. Caching for these objects exist on both the Application Server and WFE but only has one setting for both. Cache settings can be adjusted through Power Shell cmdlets but is normally not needed. The Application Server and the WFE manage their own cache separately and the cache gets set during first object retrieval often referred to as lazy loaded.
Rendered Views: This cache consists of the rendered HTML, JAVA SCRIPT and graphic images generated by the PPS. This is the information that the web browser uses to create the Dashboard. One point I'd like to make here, is not to get this confused with any caching on the IIS or browser. This rendered view cache is completely within PPS and thus will be in addition to any IIS and browser static HTML caching. All of these caches affect the system as a whole, but for the purpose of the article, we'll concentrate on the PPS side of things.
For all but the rendered view cache, the cache is set on first use. The rendered view cache is different in that it is set after a certain number of times requested. The idea is that PPS doesn't want to cache every single event as this would be very space intensive, but rather cache HTML requests that are requested often. The default setting is 2 requests to set the rendered cache. This means that the HTML for the view is cached on the second request and is used on the third request.
The render view cache on either the Application Server or the WFE is always checked for validity through the Application Server. Because of this behavior, the cached values (renders) on the WFE should always have the exact same cached entry on an Application Server as well. The only exception to this is if the rendered View cache is disabled for the Application Server but this is not common.
Setting of this cache is normally not needed but can be set through Power Shell cmdlets. This includes an option for disabling the cache for the WFE, Application Server, or both. More on setting cache later.
Other notes/thoughts:
Deciding when a cache if valid or missed, is done internally through use of cache keys. They are set up to incorporate all needed data to determine the uniqueness of the cache entries for the certain request or use.
Here is a quick list of some of the information used to determining whether PPS cache is valid.
Some important points:
A very important thing to keep in mind is the user privileges and credentials affect caching a great deal. The choice of data source authentication can have the much bigger effect on PPS caching performance and then adjusting the cache settings. In general, creating PPS data sources configured to use the Unattended Service Account will allow for much more and effective caching. This is because data source authentication will always be from the same user. When data sources are configured as per-user, the credentials of the user requesting the dashboard may be used. Each user may receive different results from the data sources and thus the cache system and may not be able to share results between users, and is much less effective. More on this in a later article but it is such an important point, it needed to be made here.
As a general rule of thumb, all PPS caching parameters default to useful values and should rarely, if ever, need to be changed. As such there are only two places which cache timeouts can be set and the options are rather limited.
Note: Once again, please keep in mind the above sections statement. Cache timeout settings likely will not affect PPS performance as much as other factors including system configuration and user environment.
Data cache settings:
The data cache timeout setting is the one setting that the Dashboard author might interact with. This is configured when creating/editing a PPS Data Source in Dashboard Designer. This setting affects most areas of data caching including queried results, filter data, data source metadata, and rendered views. In practice these are separate caches but are all set from this value. This value defaults to 10 minutes and is generally considered a good value. Setting this time to 0 will have the effect of disabling data level caching but it is not the recommended setting.
As of the time of this writing, changes to values in SPList, Excel Services, and SQL tabular data sources do not invalidate the data cache. Values will only be picked up by Performance Point after the data cache expires and thus the name Refresh Interval is used. This is an important thing to remember if one using one of these data sources.
As mentioned earlier, data caching invalidates for Analysis Services data source changes. Because of this it might be more useful to set this Cache Lifetime to a greater value for Analysis Services data sources then the other data sources. The trade off to this is greater memory usage on the Application Server. This value defaults to 10 minutes, but an administrator should feel free to change this value for performance reasons. Just remember to track memory usage.
Here is a screen shot of PPS Dashboard Designer where the data caching is set.
Rendered View cache setting:
The Application Object and HTML rendered view caches are set through power shell cmdlets. The rendered view cache value takes the form of number of hits before caching begins. Currently this defaults to two which is considered a good value. Through this mechanism, the cache can also be completely disabled. A user or Administrator should rarely, if ever, change either of these settings as the effect on performance will be large. For instructions on setting, please contact Microsoft customer service for more information and guidelines.
Application Object cache setting:
The Application Object is also set through power shell cmdlets, this in the form of a timeout and defaults to 15 seconds. As with the rendered view cache this value should rarely if ever changed due to its large effect on performance and perceived system reliability. For instructions on setting, please contact Microsoft customer service for more information and guidelines.
This completes the very brief whirlwind tour of PPS caching. We have briefly talked about a few runtime considerations that affect caching. In the next article we will delve further into user security and other factors that contribute to the caching performance. We will also take a look at how we might monitor caching runtime performance and take a closer look at how rendered view cache is implemented.

Alaska Newspapers Inc. will publish its last weeklies in August then shut the doors on Bethel's Tundra Drums, the 97-year-old Cordova Times and four other rural publications, its corporate owners announced Friday.
With newspapers everywhere struggling for survival, Calista Corp., the regional Native corporation for the Bethel area and the owner of Alaska Newspapers since 1992, said the small chain wasn't making enough money to support the spread-out operation.
Calista spokesman Thom Leonard said the closure will affect 38 employees, including three part-timers. They will be offered employment counseling and other assistance, and could get preference for jobs in other Calista operations if they're qualified and there are openings.
Calista said it was "liquidating" the operation.
In addition to the Drums and the Cordova Times, the newspapers that will be shuttered are the Arctic Sounder in northern Alaska, the Bristol Bay Times, the Seward Phoenix LOG and the Dutch Harbor Fisherman. The bimonthly magazine First Alaskans will also cease publication. The company's printing business, Camai Printing, which produced the newspapers and other publications, is also targeted for sale or closure.
The shutdown will leave most of the communities served by the chain without newspapers.
"Just having newspapers in general is a challenge these days," said acting managing editor Alex DeMarban, "but when you add in the extra challenge of having to run newspapers in economically depressed areas and in far-flung areas, and in areas with all the other challenges that rural Alaska faces, including weather, it was definitely an uphill battle, probably from the very start."
In a way, said DeMarban, who began working for Alaska Newspapers in 1998, the climate for newspapers now is a lot like the weather -- there's not much anyone can do about it.
Final publication dates for the weeklies have not been determined, but the last editions will be published sometime in August, Leonard said.
The decision to shut down the papers was made Friday at a quarterly meeting of the Calista board, Leonard said. Employees learned of the decision in the afternoon, just after they attended annual Calista summer picnic catered at corporation's warehouse.
Calista had looked for a buyer for all or some of the newspapers, but could find none, Leonard said.
In a prepared statement, Calista president Andrew Guy said the board couldn't continue to subsidize newspaper operations.
"As a responsibility to our 12,000 shareholders, we had to take a hard look at the subsidiary and make a tough decision," Guy said. "ANI leaves behind an impressive legacy. We're very appreciative of the superb staff and extraordinary talent that have worked so hard to report on rural Alaska. We genuinely hope the communities affected by this will find a new media voice to tell their stories."
Though his title sounds like he's management, DeMarban said his job is a lot like that of every other journalist on the small chain, a combination of reporter and photographer for one of the newspapers. In his case, he primarily works for the Arctic Sounder, mainly covering Kotzebue and Barrow.
Over the years, the chain has tried to figure out the best balance in coverage, sometimes having staff centered in Anchorage, sometimes in the communities, DeMarban said. Currently, Alaska Newspapers journalists live and work in Bethel, Seward, Unalaska and Cordova. The outlying staffers were called about the closure after the Anchorage crew were brought together for the bad news in their offices in the Calista Building near Dimond Boulevard, DeMarban said.
"People were disappointed, but we could at least speak with pride about what we had done in terms of telling the news," DeMarban said. "There were a lot of stories that we covered that no one else covered."
Reporters would show up for events in communities that hadn't seen a journalist in months, he said. "At the same time, we covered a lot of really big stories," like the disproportionate number of suicides in the Bush, or the hunger crisis in the Lower Yukon after years of poor salmon runs.
The newspaper chain has had many business crises over the years, even when newspapers elsewhere were raking in money. In the early 1990s, shortly after its takeover by Calista, it had a round of layoffs, pay cuts and a newspaper closure attributed to "growing too fast." Its effort to create a general-interest weekly in Anchorage, the Chronicle, failed in 2005 after less than three years of publication. And another round of cutbacks at its rural weeklies in 2006 resulted in more centralized operations in Anchorage.

Using a high-quality professional tool called a caliper, a trained tester
typically measures body fat at 3 to 9 sites on the body. The tester first
pinches the skin and the fat that lies under the skin and pulls the skin and
fat away from the muscle. The tester then places the caliper
1 cm (0.4 in.) above or below
the pinch and reads the measurement from the caliper dial. Usually about two or
three measurements are taken at each site.
Body fat measurements
can vary depending on who takes the measurement. To see if your body fat level
has changed, it's best to get measured by the same person.

grew by 417 percent; academic research expenditures, by 587 percent; federally funded academic R&D, by 618 percent; and federally funded basic research, by 702 percent. At the same time, the G.I. Bill led to the vast expansion of the university enterprise in a way that reinforced the growth of research. Consequently, as Clark Kerr asserts, "At the end of World War II, perhaps six American universities could be called research universities, in the sense that research was the dominant faculty activity…. By the early 1960s, there were about 20 research universities and they received half of all federal research and development funds going to higher education. In the year 2000, there were at least 100, and many more were aspiring to this status."3
This federal-university partnership has led to the creation of a large, diverse ecosystem of public and private research universities in which each institution plays critical local, regional, and national roles. An expansive view of the ecosystem would identify perhaps as many as 200 or more institutions that either award research doctorates or have more than $35 million in annual R&D expenditures. One observer has argued that about half of these, or 125 institutions, generate most of the new knowledge from research. This more limited set of institutions include about 60 institutions that are large, comprehensive research universities and rank among the top 100 universities globally. There are another 60 or so that educate undergraduate and graduate students and conduct research, but have a more limited set of fields in which they seek to excel in either doctoral education or research.4 The ecosystem also includes our national laboratories that provide a unique capacity for large-scale, sustained research projects that would be inappropriate for universities, such as the deep space missions of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory or the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Yet it is important to note that most of these large laboratory projects involved both university faculty and graduate students as key players.
For our purposes, research universities are those that share certain values and characteristics and participate in an "ecosystem" of research universities in which institutions interact—through cooperation and competition (see Box 3-1). Many of these values and characteristics distinguish
