Creative Cleveland: Inspiring and Training America's Future Engineers and Entrepreneurs
The President frequently highlights the importance of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education to our Nation and economy. Here's an interesting statistic he cited at the first-ever White House Science Fair:
"The most common educational background of CEOs in the S&P 500 companies … the nation's most successful, most powerful corporations … is not business, it's not finance, it's not economics—it's actually engineering."
STEM education is not only vital to producing America's next great scientists and researchers; it also plays a crucial part in developing business leaders, technicians, and entrepreneurs. The degree to which our Nation prospers in the 21st century will depend upon our abilities to develop scientific and technical talent in our youth, to provide lifelong learning to a well-educated workforce able to embrace the rapid pace of technological change, and to raise the level of public scientific and technological literacy.
That's why on Friday, November 18th, as part of National Entrepreneurship Month, President Obama's science and technology advisor, John P. Holdren, traveled to Cleveland to participate in the announcement of a new commitment in line with the President's Startup America initiative, dubbed the LaunchPad Program, which is designed to train the next generation of entrepreneurs in Northeast Ohio.
Senator Sherrod Brown joined Dr. Holdren and Blackstone Charitable Foundation leaders at Case Western Reserve University to announce a $3.2 million, three-year partnership with the Ohio-based Burton D. Morgan Foundation. This new collaboration, as Dr. Holdren said, will "leverage America's centers of higher education to support entrepreneurship and create new engines of innovation and economic growth."
Training future entrepreneurs goes hand-in-hand with STEM education. That's why Dr. Holdren and Senator Brown dropped in on Cleveland's MC2 STEM High School in the Great Lakes Science Center to meet with students and Ohio STEM education leaders. Dr. Holdren highlighted the Administration's efforts—including Educate to Innovate and Change the Equation—designed to move American students from the middle to the top of the pack in STEM subjects.
Following the LaunchPad event, Dr. Holdren paid a visit to NASA's Glenn Research Center where scientists and engineers work on, among other things, novel space-technology research to further America's capabilities in space. These Federal research efforts also have the potential to translate into new commercial products and industries, enabling new businesses and innovations.
The President understands the need for—and the Administration has worked to create—a balanced portfolio of programs and Federal investments designed to ensure that the United States maintains leadership across the frontiers of science and applied sciences that lead to fundamental discoveries, technological innovation, economic growth, and job creation.

Demi Lovato has confirmed that suspicions that she's leaving her Disney show Sonny With A Chance, telling People, "I don't think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery…Being in front of a camera would make me nervous." Her exit was rumored after the show's changed its name to So Random last month, removing Demi's titular character Sonny from the title. Lovato says she plans to focus on her music, but is "really excited to see where everything goes," with the network voicing their support of her decision.
While Lovato doesn't want to return to acting yet, she faced the cameras this week to record an interview with 20/20 about her rehab stay and the emotional problems that led to her dramatic meltdown. The 18-year-old star told Robin Roberts that she was "compulsively overeating" at 8 and cutting herself by 11 ("I was matching the inside to the outside. And there were some times where my emotions were just so built up, I didn't know what to do. The only way that I could get instant gratification was through an immediate release on myself"). Admitting to punching dancer Alex Welch ("I feel horrible, [she] was my friend"), Lovato said "The real reason why I'm sitting down with you is to open up the eyes of so many young girls, that it doesn't have to be this way." The interview is set to air on GMA and 20/20 Friday.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dragonborn Review
Played on:
After being as disappointed as I was with the last big Skyrim DLC, Dawnguard, I was pretty skeptical about the next one, whatever it was going to be. But Bethesda Game Studios surprised me with Dragonborn, an add-on that takes you to an entirely separate landmass - the island of Solstheim - and adds a little bit of everything that made the original game so fun in the first place.
Dragonborn begins shortly after you've begun the main game's central quest about becoming, well, Dragonborn. Once you've met the Greybeards, there's a chance you'll get attacked by some crazy cultists if you hang around in towns. From there you'll be able to book passage to the island of Solstheim, which sits just next to the island of Vvardenfell (the setting of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind). Solstheim itself was also the setting of Bloodmoon, one of the expansion packs for Morrowind, but you'll see that after 200 years, things are pretty different. The battle at Red Mountain at the end of Morrowind caused the volcano to erupt, and it's been spewing ash all over the place for centuries. The southern half of Solstheim has been covered in blankets of ash, and you'll find a few pockets of green in the middle section of the island as well as the kind of snowy, rocky terrain up north that is more familiar to Skyrim players.
Now, I'm not sure exactly what teeny-tiny parts from Bloodmoon survived through to be seen here in Dragonborn as I haven't played that original expansion since it first came out more than a decade ago, but I can say two of the main pockets of civilization on the island, the Skaal clan of Nords and the Raven Rock mine (and now a town that's sprung up around it) are back. Your whole point to come to Solstheim is laid out very early, before you even arrive on the island, so I feel comfortable "spoiling" it: the spirit of an old Dragonborn has returned, and he is amassing power, searching out for supposed pretenders like you, and trying to eliminate them early. Your job is to stop him. Beyond that, I won't say much, but I do feel like the story delivered here is a little more respectful of the developers' own past games, and while I'm no true Elder Scrolls lore expert, the new books and spoken history tell an interesting tale that catches up with what's happened in the region since the Nerevarine killed Dagoth Ur in Morrowind.
But there's lots of new stuff, too! Bethesda delivered us a new, fairly sizable island to explore complete with properly-working world map (rather than trying to tack on new areas to the existing Skyrim like Dawnguard did, and failing to let players see this part of the world on the big map). There are several new enemies to fight, many dungeons and ruins to fight in, along with plenty of additional armor and weapon types - including one entirely new kind of mineral that will make use of your crafting skills for a full range of armor and weapons. There are some really cool Words of Power to learn, more spells, and some really interesting perks that players will gain by completing the main storyline and finding the more potent sources of power on the island.
Speaking of the main storyline, you can probably get through it in rather long evening if you're not trying to speedrun it, but there's at least that much content on top of that in mysteries on the island, side quests, and miscellaneous objectives. All of this adds up to the kind of add-on that actually feels like it's worth the princely sum of $20 to charge, if only barely. Seriously, though, it was only a few years ago when RPG developers like Obsidian Entertainment (with Fallout New Vegas) were setting the standard for DLC value by giving you 6 to 10 hours of gameplay for ten bucks. But then I guess stuff like $15 Call of Duty map packs came along and some of these publishers decided it was time to start doubling the fee. If the price is an issue for you, the best I can suggest at this point is to wait for these DLCs to go on sale - if you enjoyed Skyrim, then I think Dragonborn will certainly be worth your time, but you have to decide whether it's worth what the publisher is charging.
Bethesda smartly tried to pull on the strings of nostalgia that are woven into some of our gaming memories, and so they've carefully slipped in music, architecture, weapons, ambient sounds and even a couple of returning storylines from the Morrowind era here. Some of it, you'll never hear me complain about; I find that Jeremy Soule is making the best RPG soundtracks in the business, and the tracks they chose to dig up from Morrowind still serve as some of the best music he's ever made. But if you're looking for a full-on nostalgia overload, you might be disappointed. Sure, you might be delighted to get called Outlander for the first time in a decade, but it's not in that original super-gravelly voice the dark elves had in Morrowind, and the few tidbits of the old world you remember that are present here aren't enough to really bring you back fully. Sure, you'll find the Skaal village, a Telvanni tower, some of the Morag Tong, that iconic Dunmer bone armor and architecture, and even an old, decrepit Silt Strider, but don't expect to get the best of both worlds at once here. The feeling's nice for a little while, but it doesn't last long. (Admittedly, I think that nearly all modern-day attempts by developers to relive these kinds of gaming memories end in disappointment, so it's hard to blame Bethesda for not being in that 1% or whatever - but hey, that's just my opinion on all of this. Your mileage may vary.) The voice acting in this add-on is really pretty good and I thought it sounded generally better than what I usually expect from Bethesda, but it's not exactly Voice Acting of the Year material, either.
I couldn't help but be disappointed by a few things as well. I found that crafting with the new mineral that can be found on Solstheim to be a real letdown, as it made items that were worse than what I'd crafted 100 hours earlier in my playthrough, and it doesn't really look amazing, either. There's also a curious new shout that allows you to take control of a dragon and ride it, but it's very limited and only really works as a novelty at best. You can only stay in one relatively small area at a time, you can't really control the movement of the dragon directly, and the interface for targeting enemies from afar and ordering the dragon to attack them is awkward at best.
So yeah, that does not mean Dragonborn now allows you to use a flying mount with the freedom you had in World of Warcraft or something, especially with how the dragon can't just fly around freely - the best you can do is bring up the world map and then instantly fast-travel, while still on the dragon, to a new location. Simply put, there are some serious technical limitations on consoles and low-spec PCs that would make free-roaming from a dragon's back impossible in the engine Skyrim's using, and if developers are going to make games across multiple platforms like this, they need that feature parity that allows them to sell their game on all platforms, especially when they're spending the tens of millions required to make a game like Skyrim. (But maybe a modder can somehow add this functionality for the PC users whose systems can handle it? It's certainly possible!) Sure, you can take this new dragon-riding shout and use it back on the Skyrim mainland, but it has the same limitations, and your imagined epic dragon-on-dragon sky battles will often instead turn into something much more awkward, robotic, and sometimes just downright broken. But this is just one half-working feature out of many that are offered, and I don't really feel like much is missing even if you just ignore it completely. On the upside, Bethesda did just release an updated 4GB+ version of their high-res texture pack for PC that covers both Dragonborn and Dawnguard. I played through half of Dragonborn without it and the other half with it, and these new textures do make a substantial difference; I can say without a doubt that PC gamers are still getting a vastly better-looking and smoother-running game as long as there's a solid PC running it.
Skyrim was such a wonderful game, and it was disappointing to see something as half-baked as Dawnguard serve as the only example of what Bethesda could offer for post-release support for this game. Dragonborn, however, is truly worthy of the Elder Scrolls name - even if it doesn't have characters casually pulling actual Elder Scrolls out of their back pockets and buying or selling them for a few thousand gold - as it adds the kind of large, epic feel you should be experiencing when playing an open-world RPG. That's fully in effect here, and the new activities, quests, loot, enemies, and abilities that are available to the player make this one certainly worth your time. Is it worth the twenty dollar bill you have to plunk down to play it? If you're a Skyrim fan, then yeah, I think so, and if you're not, how did you get this far into this review in the first place?

Seaside town becomes a mecca for rising names and new hopefuls
Posted: January 18, 2013|
Hotly tipped electronic pop duo Public Service Broadcasting are among the headliners booked for the Mojo Rising festival, taking place in Falmouth and Penryn from February 28 to March 2.
Also taking top billing are Tall Ships, a folky indie trio of former Falmouth students who have toured the UK and Europe supporting Los Campesinos! and Dry the River, as well as headlining the BBC Introducing stage at Reading and Leeds festival last year.
Mojo Rising is essentially a celebration of burgeoning UK-wide and Westcountry musical artists who are destined to make an impression on the listening public in the next 12 months. The action will feature more than 30 live performances at various venues in the town, as well as a series of events supported by industry professionals who are geared up to advise and inspire young hopefuls.
The main Friday line-up boasts Tall Ships and London instrumental noise-rock band Three Trapped Tigers, with Emperor Yes and Little Leagues in support, playing in a converted turn-of-the-century warehouse.
Saturday night features emerging UK live acts The Other Tribe and hotly tipped Seasfire playing at the same venue. Public Service Broadcasting, who use samples from old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material to underpin their sound, bring their unique live show to The Poly on the Saturday night. Other acts confirmed for the festival include The Hit Ups, Were No Heroes, Black Tambourines, Fire Island Pines, Kezia, Night Motor, Shade of Red, Vagabonds and a Box, White Bicycles, Harbour Party, Monarchs, Duke and the Hazards Hydroshima, and Lily and Meg.
A and R panels and a "speed dating" style event where bands can spend 15 minutes with experts from all sectors of the music industry will dominate the daytime schedules. Names include Bob Brimson (Universal) Pete Ward Edwards (Genepool Records) Julian Able (Jam X Management) Jane Montague (head of large scale events at Eden Project) Rick Rogers (DLR management) Nigel Barker (MPAD PR), Jack Jago (Sony A and R scout) and Nigel Adams (Full Time Hobby).
Anyone interested in staging a gig as part of the festival is invited to contact the organisers via their website www.mojorisingfestival.com, where show details and booking information can also be found.

Take Two and More Terrific Pockets
Welcome Back!
I've got a bunch more pocket ideas brewing in my head, so many in fact that it's hard to remain focused. To kick today off with a bang I've changed up my color scheme (shocking isn't it?). I want to show you how to make cards where the pockets are the card. Think of these as modified library pockets.
This set of cards uses regular Hero Arts notecards. I've cut away the top portion (about 2 1/2″) and sealed up the sides and bottom. These are so easy and perfect for birthday party invitations, Valentines, baby announcements or any occasion. Very FUN!
Here's how the card looks after cutting away the top portion. I've also used a punch to round the top corners.
With a little stamping, some gorgeous paper and pearl accents the pocket card is transformed.
- Pool Notecards
- Blossom Notecards
- French Country
- ClearDesign Scallop Borders
- Light Green Accent Pearls

San Marino (country, Europe)
San Marino (sän märē´nō), officially Republic of San Marino, republic (2005 est. pop. 28,900), 24 sq mi (62 sq km), in the Apennines near the Adriatic Sea, SW of Rimini, N central Italy. It is the world's smallest republic and claims to be Europe's oldest existing state. The capital is San Marino (1988 est. pop. 4,140); Serravalle is the only other town.
People, Economy, and Government
Virtually all of the republic's inhabitants speak Italian and are Roman Catholic. About half of San Marino citizens live abroad, mainly in Italy, the United States, and France. Of note in San Marino are the Basilica of Santo Marino; towers (14th–16th cent.) built on each of the three peaks of Mt. Titano; the Gothic government house; and several museums of art.
San Marino's industries include banking and the manufacture of apparel, electronics, and ceramics. Tourism, however, is the country's economic mainstay. The sale of postage stamps and duty-free consumer goods are also sources of income. Wheat, grapes, corn, and olives are grown and cattle, pigs, and horses are raised. Wine and cheeses are the most important agricultural products. Building stone, lime, wood, chestnuts, wheat, wine, baked goods, hides, and ceramics are exported. The country imports many manufactured goods and much of its food, mostly from Italy. The republic receives an annual subsidy from Italy in return for having renounced certain rights, such as establishing a broadcasting station and growing tobacco. Although San Marino mints its own coins, Italian and Vatican City currencies are in general use.
San Marino is governed under the constitution of 1600 and the electoral law of 1926. Two regents (Capitani Reggenti), who are heads of state, are selected by the legislature from among its members for a period of six months. The secretary of state for foreign and political affairs, who is the head of government, is elected by the legislature for a five-year term, as is the cabinet. Legislative power in San Marino is vested in the popularly elected Grand Council (Consiglio Grande e Generale), which is made up of 60 members elected to five-year terms. Administratively, the country is divided into nine municipalities.
According to tradition, Marino, a Christian stonecutter from Dalmatia, took refuge (early 4th cent.) on Mt. Titano (2,300 ft/701 m), the chief geographical feature of present-day San Marino. By the mid-5th cent., a community was formed; because of its relatively inaccessible location and its poverty, it has succeeded, with a few brief interruptions, in maintaining its independence. In 1631 its independence was recognized by the papacy. In 1849, San Marino gave refuge to Garibaldi, the Italian patriot and soldier. Italy and San Marino signed a treaty of friendship and economic cooperation in 1862 (renewed and expanded several times). Volunteers from San Marino served with the Italians in World Wars I and II; Allied aircraft bombed the republic in 1944.
Following a period of Communist rule (1947–57), a coalition of Christian Democrats and Social Democrats came to power. In 1973, the Social Democrats left the coalition and were replaced by the Socialists and the tiny Movement for Statutory Liberties. In 1960 women were given the right to vote, and in 1973 they were granted the right to hold public office. A left-wing coalition led by the Communists ruled from 1978 to 1986, at which time the Communists joined with the Christian Democrats to form a new government. The coalition was reelected in 1988. The Communist party changed its name in 1990 to the Democratic Progressive party and continued in coalition with the Christian Democrats. In 1992, the Christian Democrats formed a new coalition with the Socialists; they remained in power following the 1993 and 1998. Governmental instability after the 2001 elections led to broad-based national unity government in 2003. In 2006 the Socialists and Democrats, a merger of the Socialists, former Communists, and others, won a plurality and formed a coalition government. Coalitions led by the Christian Democrats won the 2008 and 2012 elections. San Marino became a member of the United Nations in 1992.

I'd have to imagine the Reds are the worst in baseball with runners at 3rd and less than 2 outs.
Lol LaRussa...seriously I find that hilarious. He feels betrayed? hahaha
Other than Votto, the only guy that I feel good about getting a guy in from 3rd with 1 out is Phillips...and he hits into a lotta dps.
I am always impressed by the way professionals can throw so accurately on the run.
A watched plot never thickens.
I could get used to the good Latos.
As is....Heisey has sucked one AB and knocked in the only RBI with the other.
A lot of little things these Reds don't do well.

no kidding !
i love BootMii
If you have a semi brick and no bootmii as boot2 but can still get in to the HBC (e.g. preloader) you can still restore your nand (provided you backed it up)
You do need BootMii as an IOS. And then the magic can happen.
*Note1 BootMii as an IOS does require that you have a Gamecube Controller
*Note2 When it tells you to press A+B+X+Y you need to press them at the same time.

You are pretty cool "WTF was i thinking?" very appropriate... will you try one with ios36 modified? i wonder why they say it is very dangerous...
BTW i just tried to play boogie super star... whoever is not gay, pls don't bother playing it... i thought there was a guy in there lik the friend of spongebob, patrick that danced... but suddently all the girley menus and gay characters came up... i need a really manly game right now

From the bootmii readme:
NAND restore is technically possible, but not safe because you cannot boot to BootMii/IOS in case the contents of your NAND flash are corrupted.
What I get from this is you have a one time shot to restore your nand from BootMii/IOS. Pretty much if your nand is corrupt and you restore it using the IOS version bootmii, how the hell are you going to get back to the HBC?
i think they mean it is a hit or miss situation, where if you miss you get sys files corrupted, then nothing, that's why they say it...but for you this does not apply. cos you also have boot2... we need to investigate under which circumstances ios restoration may fail (when i say we, i mean, of course, you)... i was having a conversation with a guy that also did it (don't remember exactly) and all went well, so i made an assumption, that because bootmii only restores what wasnt there in the firstplace and does nothing to unchanged ioses, then you are safe as long as you don't have a corrupted ios36 which has to be overwritten during being used at the process.. but this is a speculation, more info should be needed
Everyone does... except for the Strawhats! where did you find bootmii 0.4 and HBC 1.04?
edit: found it... bugfix version... lol

I needed to restore my nand the othe day and the savemii feature in boot mii stated that my nand was for another system which was bullshit. So i went on the wiibrew forums to see what they said and there was a work around. Then 2 days later bushing linked to the file in my sig. It is Bootmii .04test which also has HBC 1.0.4 (dont know what they changed in it)
Yes using 1.0.4 and the new boot2 here, haven't needed to restore NAND though.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.

Culture, Community, Sports, Family
The Vietnamese Student Association was established at the University of Texas on October 12, 1972. Today, we are one of the largest student-run organizations on campus. We welcome everyone of any background to join VSA and to see what we're all about. As a social and cultural student organization, VSA is a great way to meet new people and to make lifelong friends. Being a student-run organization, VSA puts great emphasis on the community, the Vietnamese culture, sports, and the UT VSA family.
Promoting the Vietnamese culture is a top priority in VSA. Many different events are held throughout the year in order to achieve this goal. Culture workshops, where members learn more about the Vietnamese culture through arts and crafts, games, and learning basic Vietnamese, are held twice a semester. VSA's biggest cultural event, Culture Showcase, is a show that allows members of VSA to put on cultural performances. With members coming from all backgrounds, they are exposed to the lifestyles and traditions of Vietnam. With these events going on in VSA, we are also trying to bring the Vietnamese curriculum to the University of Texas!
Without support and sponsorships throughout the city of Austin, VSA would not be what it is today. In order to give back to the community, numerous events are held throughout the school year, allowing VSA members to show their support through service. VSA's annual Date Auction and Benefit Dinner are events that raise money for local charities. VSA members also volunteer at Summitt Elementary School's Mid-Autumn Festival, weekly tutoring at the school, the Lunar New Year Festival, and the city of Austin's "The Project."
Every spring, a VSA of a University in Texas hosts an annual cultural and sporting event called Dai Hoi The Thao, or Asian Olympics. Students from all across the Southern region gather to compete in many different sports. Here at the University of Texas, however, intramural sports are a vital part of almost every college student's life. In VSA, members are able to compete in a variety of sports including football, basketball, volleyball, softball, and more! Numerous teams are created for every sport we compete in, so everyone of every skill level can play on VSA's intramural teams!
At the beginning of every school year, the members of VSA are divided into families. Because VSA is a large organization, we divide into families so that everyone has the opportunity to meet someone new. Each family, led by two officers, will have occasional family events, compete against other families, and will develop a strong sense of pride. All of this culminates to our EPIC Family Field Day, a competition-filled camping trip! In VSA, every member will feel a strong connection with not only their VSA families but with other members because in VSA, everyone is family!

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
OBERAMMERGAU, Germany, Feb. 19, 1998 They said he was mad, but since his death more than 110 years ago, 1.5 million people have come to southern Germany to see the fruits of Bavarian King Ludwig II's madness.
Tourists flock to Neuschwanstein Castle, one of three palaces Ludwig II built in the mid-to-late 1800s in the Bavarian Alps south of Munich. Linderhof Palace and Herrenchiemsee Palace draw their share of tourists, but Neuschwanstein is the main attraction, especially for Americans.
For countless moviegoers, Neuschwanstein will always be the place where "fairy tales come true." The Walt Disney Co. used the castle as the basis for fairy-tale replicas at theme parks in California, Florida, France and Japan.
Disney also featured Neuschwanstein's likeness in his classic children's films. As the young at heart know: Cinderella lost her glass slipper at midnight on the castle steps; Prince Charming braved the enchanted castle to find a Sleeping Beauty; and Snow White escaped the castle, fleeing a wickedly jealous stepmother.
Disney's characters traditionally lived happily ever after. This was not the case for King Ludwig. After spending a fortune building elaborate palaces, he was found dead at the age of 40. His death remains a mystery; it may have been the result of a plot to end his costly, palace-building frenzy.
King Ludwig's story is centered around his penchant for fantasy and his admiration for a musical genius, composer Richard Wagner. Born in 1845, Ludwig became Bavaria's king at age 18. At that time, Germany was a collection of separate states. Although considered unprepared for the royal role, the young king took his duties seriously, according to Julius Delig in his booklet "King Ludwig II His Life - His End."
Early in his reign, Ludwig was drawn to the arts and culture. He built schools and colleges and set up a foundation to support Bavarian arts and crafts. His passion for music was made evident when he became Wagner's patron.
After first meeting Ludwig at his court in Munich, the composer wrote about the young king: "He is unfortunately so noble and brilliant, so magnificent and soulful, that I fear his life must vanish like a fleeting stream in this coarse world. ... My luck is so great that I am crushed by it; if he can only live; he is such an unheard of wonder!"
The Bavarian aristocracy and clergy did not share Ludwig's admiration of Wagner, however. They saw the composer as a revolutionary intent on isolating and exploiting the young king. Eighteen months after Ludwig first welcomed Wagner to Munich, the king was forced to ban the composer from Bavaria. As a result, a long-lasting rift developed between the king and the Bavarian authorities.
Guidebooks describe Ludwig II as a dreamer prone to fantasies from historical German epics and to exotic lifestyles. Dismayed by the exile of his friend Wagner, and disillusioned because he was not an absolute monarch, Ludwig withdrew more and more from public life. Less than two years after assuming the throne, he wrote to Wagner: "Oh, how futile is this world! How miserable, how cruel so many men! Their lives are centered in the close circle of shallow triviality. Oh, if only this world lay behind me!"
In 1867, Ludwig terminated a brief marital engagement, never again to consider marriage. Throughout the land, he became known as the lonely "fairy tale" king. Returning to his mountain homeland in the Alps near Oberammergau, he shifted his focus from being a monarch to becoming a master builder.
In 1869, Ludwig began construction of a palace close to his parents' castle in the town of Hohenschwangau. Writing to Wagner, Ludwig called the mountain site "that paradise on earth that is alive with my ideals and makes me happy."
The king built the castle in Wagner's honor and named it Neuschwanstein. He decorated its walls and ceilings throughout with murals depicting scenes from the myths and legends upon which Wagner based his operas. Ludwig wrote: "The location is one of the most beautiful to be found: holy and unapproachable, a worthy temple for our worthy friend, who has bestowed upon mankind unique salvation and true blessing."
For the next 17 years, 200 craftsmen and 100 laborers toiled among the rugged cliffs and mountain peaks to build an 82-room medieval castle. Their efforts would make Neuschwanstein a monument to the artists and craftsmen of the 19th century.
For four years, 14 woodcarvers worked solely on the king's oak-bedecked bed chamber. Unnamed art students from Munich painted elaborate wall and ceiling murals. Stonemasons laid more than a million colored stones in the mosaic floor of the throne room, where a 1,000-pound brass chandelier hangs from a star-studded royal blue ceiling highlighted with golden sun rays.
As the artists plied their trade, saints and apostles, knights and ladies, kings and queens, adorned the castle walls and ceilings. Paint, plaster and mesh turned one room into a grotto, complete with stalactites, stalagmites and a bubbling spring. Arched windows on each of the castle's five floors framed far-reaching views of the valley and lakes hundreds of feet below as well as the peaks towering above.
While work was under way on Neuschwanstein, Ludwig began construction on two smaller palaces and planned building several more. In 1874, he began building the royal villa he named Linderhof, fashioned after the French palace of Versailles. It is about four miles west of Oberammergau. Four years later, he began building the Versailles-inspired Herrenchiemsee Palace at Lake Chiemsee, about 60 miles southeast of Munich.
Ludwig elaborately furnished both with intricate, gilded woodcarvings, exquisite porcelains, massive mirrors, rich tapestries and furniture. Although he primarily used his own family fortune to build his palaces, Ludwig became indebted to the Bavarian government to the tune of about 13 million deutsche marks. Family members and government officials feared the king would exhaust in one generation the family fortune accumulated over 800 years. They conspired to depose the king on grounds of insanity.
Aware of the animosity he caused, Ludwig wrote: "I must bear being laughed at, scorned at, and slandered. I am called a fool. Will God call me a fool when I am summoned before him?"
Ludwig lived to see Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee finished, but not Neuschwanstein. The king lived in the 15 finished rooms of the mountaintop aerie only 172 days. In 1886, a government commission declared Ludwig II incurably mentally deranged.
Officials seized the king and took him to Munich. Five days later, authorities found the bodies of two men floating in a lake. One was the 40-year-old monarch and the other was the state doctor who, without ever having examined Ludwig, had declared the king insane.
Immediately after Ludwig's death, government officials halted work on Neuschwanstein and turned it into a museum to recoup its cost. After 1.5 million visitors, the castle has more than paid for itself, a resident tour guide noted.
Today, visitors pay 11 deutsche marks, about $9, each to visit Neuschwanstein. Children under 12 are free. Approaching from Oberammergau to the southeast, visitors pass through immaculate Bavarian villages and well-tended farmlands. Weathered hay barns dot the valley's gentle slopes beneath snow-capped peaks. Lacelike woodwork and colorful murals decorate homes and businesses.
When first seen in the distance, Neuschwanstein seems an improbable apparition, a white fairy tale vision against the mountainside's dark forest green.
Final ascent to the castle is made on foot, by horse-drawn carriage or bus. Carriages haul those unwilling or unable to make the half-mile climb up the winding, wooded drive to the castle gate. Buses carry visitors to a spot near a bridge across the grotto overlooking Neuschwanstein. A fairly steep descent from there leads to a ticket booth and souvenir stands.
Approaching the massive wooden gates, looking up at its limestone walls and so-familiar towers, there's no doubt this is the place where Cinderella met her fella and a poison apple sent a beautiful maiden into an enchanted sleep. The combination of gothic and romanesque architecture exudes romance and fantasy. An hour-long tour takes visitors into the realm of German knights questing for the holy grail, tales of chivalry and odes of heroism.
The gold-embroidered velvet draperies, ornately carved chairs and even the iron door handles bear a swan motif. Circular stone stairways and vaulted corridors with marble floors lead to rooms where time has stood still since Ludwig's death more than 100 years ago. The tour ends in the castle kitchen which fed the hundreds of laborers and craftsmen who brought Ludwig's dreams to life for generations to come.

text: West Bromwich Albion supporters have dubbed Steve Clarke "The Special One of Smethwick" and, once again, his side did not disappoint as a fourth successive win lifted them into third place. While West Brom are enjoying their best start to a season since 1953 Sunderland are stuttering. Ominously for Martin O'Neill their two League wins this season have come against teams reduced to ten men and Tuesday night's meeting with Harry Redknapp's QPR has now assumed a previous unexpected significance.

Is there ever really a perfect time to start a family? If you're in the planning stage or wanting to grow your family you might want to rule out the month of May for conception.
Many obese men and women are turning to surgery to help them lose the extra weight. But for women who are planning a pregnancy, is it a good idea?
A new study suggests that for obese women who choose weight-loss surgery to bring their weight under control, having the procedure may also benefit their future children.
A Canadian study found that children born after their mother had lost considerable weight from gastric bypass surgery were slimmer than their pre-surgery siblings and had fewer risk factors for diabetes or heart disease later in life.
The findings showed that numerous genes linked to obesity-related health problems worked differently in the younger siblings than in their older brothers and sisters.
The researchers looked at the genes of 50 children who were born to 20 mothers before or after they had gastric bypass surgery. The children were on average about 15 years old.
The moms were between the ages of 35 to 51 and were all classified as obese before they had the procedures. They all lost almost 100 pounds after the surgery.
The type of gastric bypass surgery performed on the mothers who participated in the study is called a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch procedure. It is not used as often as the more common Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. In the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch procedure, a larger part of the stomach is left intact while bypassing most of the intestine.
In the children born after their mothers surgery and weight loss, researchers found 5,698 genes were expressed differently than their older siblings. What that means is that the mothers didnt pass on different genes to their children, but how those genes operated in the childrens bodies were different in the pre and post surgery children. The reason may be that factors inside the womb seem to affect the dimmer switches that develop on a fetus' genes " chemical changes that make genes sp
If you're planning on adding another child to your family-or thinking about starting a family-you might want to consider getting the whooping cough vaccine before you get pregnant.
Why would you do that? According to a new study from Australia, babies who are born to women that are vaccinated with the whooping cough (also known as Pertussis) vaccine before they become pregnant have a 50% lower risk of developing the disease.
Whooping cough is an infection of the respiratory system. It mainly affects infants younger than 6 months old before they are immunized, and kids 11 to 18 years old whose immunity has started to decrease. Pertussis is characterized by severe coughing spells that may produce a whooping sound when the child breathes in.
It is highly contagious and before the Pertussis vaccine was available it killed 5,000 to 10,000 people in the U.S. each year. Now that there is a vaccine, the annual number of deaths is less than 30. But in recent years, the number of cases has started to rise. By 2004, the number of whooping cough cases spiked past 25,000, the highest level it's been since the 1950s.
The researchers looked at 217 babies ages 4 months and younger who had whooping cough. They compared them with 585 healthy infants born at the same time in the same area.
They discovered that a similar percentage of mothers - in both groups - received the whooping cough vaccine. However, 41 percent of the moms of healthy babies had been vaccinated at least four weeks before their infant became sick. However, of the mothers whose babies had whooping cough, only 27 percent of mothers had been vaccinated at least four weeks earlier.
Also in the healthy baby group, 26 percent of the mothers said they had been vaccinated before their baby was born, while only 14 percent of mothers whose babies had whooping cough said they had been vaccinated before delivery.
In this program, "there was no vaccination durin
Celebrity moms seem to be popping up everywhere showing no hint that theyve just delivered a baby. Many of them are incredibly in-shape within a few months after childbirth, donning bikinis, short shorts and tank tops. How do they do it? Theyve got an army of people helping them and they spend hours doing extreme workouts every day. However, most post-pregnancy moms dont have access to that kind of potent combination.
So how long should it take to lose your pregnancy weight gain? It depends on what shape you were in before you gained the weight and how much you gained over nine-months.
If you started at a normal weight, and gained between 25 and 35 pounds, it should take about 2 to 4 months to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight. Remember that your body has changed over that nine months, so although you may lose the extra pounds, your shape may be different.
If you were overweight before you were pregnant you most likely added more weight than doctors typically recommend (25-35 lbs.). It may take up to a year or more to lose your extra weight and the weight you dont lose may stick with you for a very long time.
Looking at pictures of models and actresses that seem to drop the pounds almost magically after giving birth can be depressing to new moms who dont have the same resources. But its really unrealistic to compare yourself with others. Everyone is different and you have to objectively look at where youre starting from and what a realistic goal is for you.
Should you diet?
Dieting usually isnt the answer. As strange as that may sound, trying to stick to a diet while adjusting to having a new baby in the family is probably asking too much of yourself. A better approach is to eat a well-balanced variety of foods. Actually eating more often throughout the day and creating smaller portions can help boost your metabolism. It will also keep you from getting too hungry from going too long between me
Just about every pregnant woman experiences morning sickness, but this part of pregnancy can be more than just unpleasant. When morning sickness becomes a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), it can cause seizures and premature birth. The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has been hospitalized with HG and is undergoing treatment.
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a potentially dangerous type of morning sickness that is characterized by severe nausea, vomiting, weight-loss and electrolyte disturbance.
"It's not unusual for pregnant women to get morning sickness, but when it gets to the point where you're dehydrated, losing weight or vomiting so much you begin to build up (toxic) products in your blood, that's a concern," said Dr. Kecia Gaither, director of maternal fetal medicine at Brookdale University and Medical Center in New York.
About one in fifty pregnant women are affected by this condition. It tends to be more common in younger women who are pregnant for the first time or those expecting more than one baby.
Physicians are not sure what causes HG but suspect it could be linked to hormonal changes or nutritional problems. Spikes in the hormones estrogen, progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) may be contributors to HG. Low weight and sluggish digestion may also be factors.
While not all pregnant women with HG require hospitalization, some do. Treatment may include IV fluids to treat dehydration, anti-nausea medication, nutritional supplements plus bed rest.
If HG is caught early and treated, physicians say that there are no long-term effects for either the mother or the child. If left untreated, there is a risk of the mother developing neurological problems, including seizures, or delivering the baby pre-term. The condition usually ends by the second trimester.
"The rest of the pregnancy could be entirely uneventful," Gaither said, adding that pregnant women treated for the conditio
Jessica Simpson has been getting a lot of press and TV time related to the amount of weight she gained during her recent pregnancy and the difficulty she is having shedding the pounds. I just thought I needed to WEIGH IN on this subject as I don't think the real issue is being discussed.
As a pediatrician, I am not as concerned about when or how she loses the excessive weight that she packed on during her pregnancy. I am more worried about the message that she is sending to other pregnant women. Excessive weight gain during pregnancy may cause complications that could jeopardize an unborn baby's health. It is not safe to gain all of that weight during a pregnancy.
Jessica Simpson is quoted saying that she is a southern girl and enjoys fried foods, macaroni and cheese and cream gravy. Most obstetricians recommend that a woman of average weight gain between 25-35 lbs during a pregnancy. If a woman is overweight prior to becoming pregnant she may only need to gain 15-20 lbs during the 9 months. Being pregnant does not mean that you can forget all about nutrition, eat excessively and gain 100 lbs. (educated guess on my part).
A woman who gains excessive weight during a pregnancy may have complications and is more likely to develop high blood pressure as well as gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is typically controlled with dietary changes alone, but in some cases a pregnant woman may even require insulin. Gestational diabetes puts the baby at risk for having blood sugar problems at birth. At the same time, blood pressure problems may be dangerous for the mother and put the baby at risk for premature birth and all of the problems that are related to prematurity.
At the same time, excessive weight gain during pregnancy typically causes the newborn to be what is termed, large for gestational age. These big babies are often delivered by C-section either electively or e
Another study suggests higher levels of vitamin D during pregnancy may play an important role in a baby's future health. In the latest study, Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to poorer mental and motor skills in babies.
Researchers in Spain measured the level of vitamin D in the blood of almost 2,000 women in their first or second trimester of pregnancy and evaluated the mental and motor abilities of their babies at about 14 months of age. The investigators found that children of vitamin D deficient mothers scored lower than those whose mothers had adequate levels of the vitamin.
"These differences in the mental and psychomotor development scores do not likely make any difference at the individual level, but might have an important impact at the population level," said study lead author Dr. Eva Morales, a medical epidemiologist in the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona.
One concern is that lower scores in motor and mental tests could lead to lower IQs.
Previous studies have linked a deficiency in vitamin D during pregnancy to babies born with a greater risk for developing language problems, higher body fat, bone weakness, lung infections and schizophrenia.
Vitamin D deficiency in moms-to-be has also been associated with a higher risk for developing preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is when a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein in the urine after the 20th week of pregnancy. It is rarely fatal, but can lead to premature births.
How much vitamin D should a pregnant woman be getting? There's not a clear-cut answer.
The Institute of Medicine, an independent U.S. group that advises the public, recommends pregnant women get 600 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D and no more than 4,000 IU/day. However, the Endocrine Society says that 600 units does not prevent deficiency and that at least 1,500 to 2,000 units a day may be required.
More evidence that the flu vaccine is safe for pregnant women has been released. A new study shows that there is no link between the flu vaccine and the risk of serious birth defects. That's the number one concern that mothers-to-be have when considering getting a flu shot.
The study noted that of nearly 9,000 pregnant women who got the flu shot, about 2 percent had a baby with a major birth defect, such as a malformation in the heart or a cleft lip. That was the same as 77,000 pregnant women who did not get the shot.
Researchers also found that women who got vaccinated were less likely to suffer a stillbirth. Point 3 % did not experience a stillbirth versus point 6 % of un-vaccinated women. Their newborns also had a lower death rate: point two percent died soon after birth, compared with point four percent of babies born to unvaccinated moms.
It's not certain that the flu shot had anything to do with the lower stillbirth, but there may be a link says Dr. Jeanne S. Sheffield, the lead researcher on the work. The flu shot may have prevented a more serious case of the flu. Plus, these findings suggest that the flu shot is at least safe, and possibly has a benefit against stillbirth.
Despite recommendations to get the flu shot, most pregnant women do not. In the U.S., only between 10 percent and one-quarter of women have been vaccinated each flu season over the last couple decades, Sheffield's team notes.
Sheffield noted that "it's amazing" how many women are unaware that the flu itself is considered a risk during pregnancy.
"The flu is a problem in pregnancy," she said. "But we have a vaccine to prevent it. And it's considered safe and effective in any trimester."
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study published last year found "no unusual patterns" of pregnancy complications or newborn health problems among U.S. women who received the flu shot between 1990 and 2009.

Jordyn Luffman paces the Bruins both in the scoring column (15.0 ppg) and on the boards (8.0 rpg). Six other Belmont players average between 5.3 ppg-8.6 ppg.
Quoting Coach Landers
On what the focus was during the break from competition...
"We've been able to refocus on our efforts to get better and not just on winning basketball games. We've been able to sort through some of the things that we've been doing and put them in a better perspective as to when, where and why we should be doing those things. As much as anything, mentally we've been able to refresh. Really, we'd gotten to a point where we were just playing games all the time."
On Coaching against Cameron Newbauer and Jon Bollier...
"It will be great to see Cam and Jon, but it will be bittersweet. It's great to see them but I'm not looking forward to playing against them and the reality of someone winning and someone losing. Those two guys did a lot for Georgia Basketball and they will always be special to our program."
On his team's development and performance to date...
"I've been pleased with our attitude and our effort. I've been pleased with the consistency, both individually and as a team. We come in every day with a willingness to do what we need to do and because of that we have improved. Overall, I've been pleased with our guard play. I think we can still get much better in the backcourt. I'm extremely happy that we have everyone back and reasonably healthy. That's probably something that gets lost a bit because we're 8-0. Since we're winning, no one is talking about that. If we would have lost, everyone would be talking about the people we were missing. I've been reasonably pleased with our front line players. I think they know and we all knew before the start of the season that the development of our frontcourt would be a process. Processes can be painful. They haven't performed like they would like to all the time - although I do think Krista Donald has been consistent. They know we're not where we want to be or where we're going to get to, but I have been pleased that they come in every day and fought the fight to get better."
Athens, Ga.
No. 10 Lady Bulldogs Steam Past Bruins
Jasmine Hassell put up season-high numbers of 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead No. 10 Georgia to victory over Belmont, 70-38, on Sunday afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum.
Series history with the Bruins
The Lady Bulldogs are 2-0 all-time against Belmont, including a 70-38 victory just over a year ago in Athens.
Jasmine Hassell's double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds led No. 10 Georgia to victory last Nov. 18 at Stegeman Coliseum.
After Belmont scored the first points of the game, Georgia cruised to 19-0 run that lasted nine minutes and never looked back.
In the only other meeting between Georgia and Belmont, the Lady Bulldogs earned a 53-36 victory over the Bruins in a 2007 NCAA Tournament first-round contest played in Minneapolis, Minn.
Georgia opened that contest with an 11-0 run over the initial 2:33 and held a relatively comfortable lead most of the rest of the afternoon.
Christy Marshall scored 11 points to lead Georgia, while Ashley Houts chipped in 10 points, four rebounds, six assists and three steals for the Lady Bulldogs. Georgia went on to top Iowa State, 76-56, in the second round before falling to Purdue in the "Sweet 16" in Dallas.
Last Time out...
Georgia used a 12-0 second-half run to seize control en route to a 70-58 victory over Georgia State in the championship game of GSU's Thanksgiving Invitational on Dec. 1.
Erika Ford and Tiaria Griffin led the Lady Bulldogs with 14 points apiece. Krista Donald chipped in 12 points and Shacobia Barbee added a double-double of 12 points and 14 rebounds, as well as game-high tallies of seven steals and six assists.
"We did what need to do to win on a day when we didn't play our best basketball," Andy Landers said. "You have to credit Georgia State with some of that. They had a good game plan and executed it well. Most of all, at the beginning of the game they hit shots that put us on our heels. We hung in there and then made enough plays to win a tough, tough game."
Georgia State led 51-44 with 12:11 remaining after a Kendra Long 3-pointer. The Lady Bulldogs tied the score 2:21 later on a pair of Donald free throws. Barbee assisted a Griffin bucket that gave Georgia the lead for good 53-51.
After the lead reached five, the Panthers pulled within three twice, lastly on a layup by Ashanti Groover with 5:35 on the clock. A Griffin 3-pointer from the right corner put the Lady Bulldogs up by six and Georgia closed out the contest on a 12-3 run thereafter.
A homecoming for Barbee
Sophomore Shacobia Barbee is a proud native of Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Barbee starred at Riverdale High from 2008-12, helping the Lady Warriors to Tennessee Class AAA state tiles in 2010 and 2012 and a runner-up showing in 2011.
Riverdale also finished ranked No. 5 nationally during Barbee's senior year and No. 27 during her junior season.
Barbee was tabbed Tennessee's Miss Basketball for Class AAA as both a junior and a senior and was named The Tennessean's Midstate Player of the Year as a sophomore, junior and senior. In 2012, she was named the all-sports Female Athlete of the Year by the Nashville Sports Council.
Familiar faces on the Belmont bench
Two members of the Belmont coaching staff are very familiar with Georgia Basketball.
Head coach Cameron Newbauer was an assistant coach for the Lady Bulldogs for five seasons from 2007-12.
Newbauer originally came to Athens as a graduate assistant manager with the Georgia men's basketball program for the 2003-04 season. He left to be a men's assistant coach at Siena for one season (2004-05) before returning to UGA to be the Georgia men's director of basketball operations from 2005-07. Newbauer joined Andy Landers' staff in 2007.
In addition, Bruins assistant coach Jon Bollier was the Lady Bulldogs' operations coordinator from 2010-13 and also served as a student manager during the 2009-10.
This is the third time this season that the Lady Bulldogs have faced a team with branches of Landers' coaching tree on the bench.
From a head coaching perspective, Mercer's Susie Gardner and Georgia State's Sharon Baldwin-Tener both played for and then coached the Lady Bulldogs. Georgia State assistant coach Adrienne Shuler also played for Georgia, while Jocelyn Wyatt, a second Panthers assistant coach, was a graduate assistant manager for the program from 2006-08.
Another association with the Bruins
The name Gail Corder, mother of former Lady Bulldog Jasmine Hassell, is prominent throughout the Belmont record book.
Corder played for the Bruins from 1981-84 and was Belmont's all-time scoring leader at the end of her career with 1,814 points. She still ranks No. 4 in career scoring, rebounding (942) and FGs made, as well as No. 5 in FG attempts and FT attempts; No. 8 in FG percentage and FTs made; and No. 9 in blocks.
Griffin, Barbee earn tourney honors
Tiaria Griffin was tabbed the MVP of the Georgia State Thanksgiving Invitational, while Shacobia Barbee made the all-tourney team.
Griffin scored team-high tallies of 19 and 14 points in victories over George Washington and Georgia State, respectively.
Against Georgia State, Barbee scored 12 points and registered game-high efforts of 14 rebounds, seven steals and six assists.
Lady Bulldogs hit "Magic Number"
Georgia scored a season-high 80 points against George Washington and improved perhaps the greatest statistical indicator other than wins and losses in the process.
The Lady Bulldogs are now 426-6 when scoring 80 or more points during Andy Landers' 35 seasons in Athens. That equates to a winning percentage of 98.611111111.
Miller tops millennium, moves up more
Khaalidah Miller became Lady Bulldog Basketball's 35th 1,000-point scorer during the Nov. 19 victory over Furman. She has since moved up to No. 33 among Georgia's career scoring leaders.
The Atlanta native used a 20-point performance against Georgia Tech to pass former teammate Anne Marie Armstrong into No. 34.
Miller supplanted Saudia Roundtree at No. 33 during the George Washington game.
Miller now has 1048 points for the Lady Bulldogs and enters the Belmont contest 16 points away from No. 32 Megan Darrah.
Freshman Starter sorority grows
Andy Landers has continued his long-standing penchant of starting freshmen.
Sydnei McCaskill got the nod against Presbyterian in the season opener to become the 73rd freshman to start for the Lady Bulldogs during Landers' 35 seasons in Athens and the 23rd to do so in her collegiate debut.
McCaskill not only started but played all 40 minutes. She and Coco Miller are the only two freshmen in Lady Bulldog history to start their debut and play all 40 minutes.
Halle Washington became No. 74 on the freshman starter ledger against S.C. State.
Now eight current Lady Bulldogs - senior Khaalidah Miller; juniors Erika Ford and Krista Donald; sophomores Shacobia Barbee, Tiaria Griffin and Merritt Hempe; and McCaskill and Washington - all started as freshmen. Barbee is one of the 23 to start an opener.
Now up to 505 weeks ranked
Since 1981-82, the Lady Bulldogs have been included in 505 of 581 polls, or 86.9 percent of those released. Georgia also has made 268 top-10 appearances, 46.1 percent of polls during that span.

Kutcher takes on tech idol Steve Jobs in `jOBS'
AP Entertainment Writer
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) - Ashton Kutcher says playing Steve Jobs on screen "was honestly one of the most terrifying things I've ever tried to do in my life."
The 34-year-old actor helped premiere the biopic "jOBS" Friday, which was the closing-night film at the Sundance Film Festival.
Kutcher plays the Apple Inc. founder from the company's humble origins in the 1970s until the launch of the first iPod in 2001. A digital entrepreneur himself, Kutcher said he considers Jobs a personal hero.
"He's a guy who failed and got back on the horse," Kutcher said. "I think we can all sort of relate to that at some point in life."
Kutcher even embodied the Jobs character as he pursued his own high-tech interests off-screen.
"What was nice was when I was preparing for the character, I could still work on product development for technology companies, and I would sort of stay in character, in the mode of the character," he said. "But I didn't feel like I was compromising the work on the film by working on technology stuff because it was pretty much in the same field."
But playing the real-life tech icon who died in 2011 still felt risky, he said, because "he's fresh in our minds."
"It was kind of like throwing myself into this gauntlet of, I know, massive amounts of criticism because somebody's going to go `well, it wasn't exactly...,'" Kutcher said.
While the filmmakers say they tried to be as historically accurate as possible, there was also a disclaimer at the very end of the credits that said portions of the film might not be completely accurate.
Still, realism was always the focus for Kutcher, who watched "hundreds of hours of footage," listened to Jobs' past speeches and interviewed several of his friends to prepare for the role.
The actor even adopted the entrepreneur's "fruitarian diet," which he said "can lead to some serious issues."
"I ended up in the hospital two days before we started shooting the movie," he said. "I was like doubled over in pain, and my pancreas levels were completely out of whack, which was completely terrifying, considering everything."
Jobs died of complications from pancreatic cancer.
Still, Kutcher was up to the challenge of playing Jobs, in part because of his admiration for the man who created the Macintosh computer and the iPod.
"I admire this man so much and what he's done. I admire the way he built things," Kutcher said. "This guy created a tool that we use every day in our life, and he believed in it when nobody else did."
The film also shows Jobs' less appealing side, withholding stock options from some of the company's original employees and denying child support to the mother of his eldest child.
Kutcher still found the man inspiring. Jobs had a singular focus, Kutcher said, and felt like anyone could change the world.
"I don't know if there's ever been an entrepreneur who's had more compassion and care for his consumer than Steve Jobs," Kutcher said. "He wanted to put something in your hand that you could use and you could use it easily... and he really cared about that."

Skelley scores two goals, including game-winner
|Kaitlyn Skelley
DURHAM, N.C. -- Kaitlyn Skelley (Wolfeboro, N.H.) scored the first two goals of her career, one of which was the game-winner with 1:57 remaining in regulation, to lead the University of New Hampshire field hockey team to Monday afternoon's 3-2 non-conference victory against Towson University at Duke University's Williams Field.
UNH improved to 1-2 overall with the victory while Towson dropped to 0-4.
Skelley gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead with an unassisted tally at 16:50 and Katie White (Glens Falls, N.Y.), who was among the national leaders in goals and points in 2003, increased the advantage to 2-0 at 23:59 with the assistance of Emily Colton (Milton, Mass.).
Towson trimmed the deficit to 2-1 on a penalty-corner goal by Ashley Bacon with 1:23 remaining in the first half. The Tigers pulled even in the second half when Erika Harris scored at 56:59.
Skelley, who entered the game with one career point on an assist, tallied another unassisted goal at 68:03 to break the tie and lift New Hampshire to its first victory of the season.
Christine Buckley (Walpole, Mass.) was credited with five saves, including four in the second half, while TU counterpart Christina Armer stopped nine shots.
New Hampshire returns to action Sept. 9 at home vs. Harvard. Game time at Memorial Field is 3:30 p.m.

Ohio golfers advance to state tournament
The Herald-Dispatch
HUNTINGTON – High school golf season is not over for Chesapeake's Drew Oxley and Coal Grove's Brent Morgan.
Oxley and Morgan advanced to the Ohio High School State Tournament this week with strong showings in district tournaments.
Oxley shot a 73 in the Division II qualifier at Pickaway Country Club in Circleville.
