COLLEGE STATION, Texas From a marathon to a bowl game, weekend activities brought a boost to the local economy.
News 3 took a look at how the Scott & White BCS Marathon and Brazos Valley Bowl Game brought dollars to our area during a usually slow time.
More than 3,000 runners were up at the crack of dawn for this week's 3rd annual Scott & White BCS Marathon.
And while the weather was around 34 degrees it was ideal for long distance running.
"It was a great day, great weather, beautiful weather," said Chris Field, who is the founder of the marathon.
The event benefits the charity Mercy Project and Field says the race gives a big boost to the local economy.
"When you have people coming in from 38 states and four countries, they are going to stay multiple days in hotels. They are going to eat in restaurants. They're gonna shop. People tell me that they do their Christmas shopping some while they're here. And that's thousands, tens and thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars," said Field.
Saturday night the status of the race was in question after multiple wrecks and icy road conditions in the Brazos Valley that kept hundreds of people from running this year.
"We went to bed pretty late wondering a couple hours later what we were going to wake up to," said Field.
Another big event this weekend was the Brazos Valley Bowl game between The Hinds Eagles and Navarro Bulldogs at Bryan's Merrill Green Stadium.
Brazos Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau President Shannon Overby says the weather likely put a damper on this year's game.
Only a few hundred spectators showed.
"We were out there and the weather was pretty bad and some of the schools were closed like the Kilgore Rangerettes couldn't make it down because the school was closed. But the teams made it and they brought some fans with them," said Overby.
Navarro would go on to beat Hinds 34 to 27.
"But it certainly is a good boost for our economy during a time that's typically slower paced," she added.
A boost for the economy as well as more things to do here at home.
This year the Scott & White BCS Marathon also grew by about ten percent to a new all time high.
While registration was up 25 percent with about 3,900 registrants.

Douglasville, Ga. --- (WXIA) A Douglasville, Georgia family is in shock after a motorist turned a vehicle into a weapon and ran over a grandmother right in front of them.
According to her daughter, 53-year-old Janice Pitts moved from Los Angeles to Douglasville two years ago for a better and safer life for her family.
"She survived breast cancer, twice, stage three the last go-round, and she fought it; for her life to be taken from her this way, she didn't deserve to die like that," daughter Iesha Davis said.
Pitts was driving Davis to work and her 4-year-old grandson was in the back seat of their Lincoln Navigator SUV. As they were waiting at the light to make a left turn, they were suddenly hit from behind by a large Chevrolet pick-up truck several times.
Police say 23-year-old Dewey Calhoun Green rammed his pickup truck into the back of a car driven by 53-year-old Janice Pitts Wednesday morning while she was at a stop light. When Pitts got out of the car to check the damage, witnesses say Green drove into Pitts, pinning her between both vehicles. Police say he ran over her again while trying to get away.

..."within that first session, I was amazed that such a profound change could take place in such a short amount of time..."
Dr. Davi Pakter, M.D.
Cleansing is the process of eliminating the buildup of waste and toxins from your cells, organs and blood. It is like an oil change for your body. A cleanse is done by reducing foods that leave behind a toxic residue, taking supplements that move the toxins out and adding specific foods that have health inducing effects.
A cleansing program can help with the following symptoms:
Acne, Acid Reflux, Allergies, Bloating, Brain Fog, Chronic Fatigue, Constipation, Dandruff, Diarrhea, Dry Skin, Eczema, Fibromyalgia, Food Addictions, Gas, Heartburn, Hemorrhoids, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Low Energy, Psoriasis, Rosacea, Sugar Cravings, Weight Gain.
Cellular cleansing is the key to returning your digestive and immune systems back to optimum functioning. It is the fastest route back to health that I know of.
I offer three types of cleanses:
- Juice fasting
- Food-based cleansing
- Juice fasting followed by food-based cleansing
Juice Fasting
I can support you in doing a 5 to 10 day juice fast. Most of my clients fast for 7 days.
A typical day of juice fasting includes:
- Water
- Lots of green juice - celery, kale, cucumber, apple, lemon
- Various mixed vegetable juices
- Coconut water - full of electrolytes!
- Vegetable broth - savory, warm and full of nutrients
- Green powder drink - saves time juicing and adds more vitamins and minerals
- Herbal tea
(I have extra juicers to loan to you and I will teach you how to make all of the juice and broth in person.)
Most clients feel a little "spacey" the first day of juice fasting, but that feeling usually starts to shift from day 2 onward. I have had clients who do manual labor work a full day on the juice fast and I myself have been able to see a full load bodywork clients even on day 10 of a juice fast. Most people are surprised to find that they have plenty of energy and they feel light and clear.
Food-Based Cleansing
While juice fasting can be a powerful method of cleansing, it is not the only way. On a food-based cleanse, we eliminate certain foods that are health compromising and add foods that are health inducing to your diet.
The Diet
There is no one-size-fits-all diet that works for everyone. However, on a cleanse, most people should remove all sugar, gluten, dairy, caffeine and alcohol. Also, because animal proteins are more complex to digest than plant proteins, most, but not all clients will also avoid meat. If you've never tried this before, I suggest that you give it try. I have had clients who thought this would be impossible because of their high level of activity and they were surprised to have more energy on this diet than their previous diet that included animal proteins.
For most people, sugar is the hardest thing to eliminate from their diet, but it is also the most rewarding. Getting off of the cycle of sugar highs and subsequent crashes is incredibly empowering.
The diet is based on fruit, vegetables and whole grains such as quinoa, millet, amaranth and brown rice. You will eat delicious soups, salads, warm grain bowls and much more. You will get plenty of protein from foods such as tempeh, quinoa, spirulina, beans, nuts, seeds and superfood supplements.
The Food-Based Cleanse includes:
- A visit to a grocery store to restock your refrigerator and pantry with tasty, high quality foods
- Health and nutrition basics - learn about acid/alkaline, food combining, sugar addiction
- Hands on food preparation - we will prepare about three meals and talk about how to prepare others
- One 75 minute Rolfing® or The Barefoot Method session each day we spend together
- Phone and email support for the remainder of the 28 day program
Combination Juice & Food-Based Cleanse
The combination of both of these approaches is powerful. The first 7 days of the cleanse, you will drink only liquids. For the rest of the 21 days, you will eat a clean, organic, vegan diet.
The first 7 days of juice fasting allows your digestive system to rest and it thoroughly cleans out your colon. Then, once you are eating solid food again, it is much easier to make the switch to the cleansing food diet without going through as many craving and withdrawal symptoms.
My Assumptions
There is a direct connection between the foods that you eat and your body's current state of health.
Our bodies are self-regenerating. Just as our hair and nails regenerate themselves, so do the cells of our skin, internal organs, muscles and bones. Our cellular regeneration requires fuel in the form of the foods that we consume. Thus, the quality of our food intake affects the quality of our cells.
We are all unique and have unique dietary needs. Not everyone should be a vegetarian, vegan, raw foodist or meat-eater. In the long run, each of us must eat what works best for our own body. However, in order to cleanse, certain foods that are more difficult to digest need to be temporarily removed from our diet.
Will I lose weight?
If you do a juice fast, you will probably lose 5-7lbs depending on the length of your fast. The subsequent weeks of food-based cleansing will help keep that weight off. If you are already at your ideal weight, you will probably stay near there. You will get the right amount of calories for your body each day. Weight loss that happens because of eating too few calories or by over exercising doesn't work because those strategies don't last. Losing weight and keeping it off happens when you change habits. Changing habits takes time.
Losing weight through this cleanse is one of the best ways to lose weight and keep it off because you will lose it gradually. Also, you will learn valuable knowledge and practical skills during this cleanse that you will be able to incorporate into your diet after the cleanse is over.
I have worked with my own weight issues for many years and I believe that there is much more to losing weight than just choosing better foods. There are almost always emotional reasons for our binging or overeating and we must work with our emotional triggers in order to heal.
At the end of the cleanse you will have:
- more energy
- clearer skin
- less sweet cravings
- more will power
- improved posture and flexibility
- stronger digestion
- regular elimination
- a healthier immune system
- cutting edge knowledge on health
Can't I just do it myself?
You can. And I sincerely hope that you do. But for many of us, it is too difficult, time consuming or overwhelming to do all of the research, planning and execution that a good cleanse requires without support.
Trying to cleanse on your own can be very challenging. But with proper support and guidance, a cleanse can be simple and empowering. You will have cravings initially, but they will fade and I will support you every step of the way. At the end of the 28 day program, you will feel better than you have ever felt. Not only that, but you will have the tools to support your own health for the rest of your life.
Do you travel?
Since I work in my client's homes, most of my cleansing and detox work is in the San Francisco Bay Area. However, I am willing to travel almost anywhere in the U.S. to work with clients.
The Cost
Juice Fast only - $500 - this is a 4 to 5 hour day and includes making all of the juices together and a bodywork session. I will loan you a Greenstar juicer and show you how to use it.
Food Prep only - $750 - this is an 8 hour day and it includes shopping for food, preparation of 3 meals, customized cleanse protocol and 1 bodywork session.
"The Whole Enchilada"- $1200 - we'll do the juice fast day together and then 7 or 8 days later, we'll do the full food prep day.
Free Consultation - If you are thinking about doing a cleanse, I am happy to discuss my programs with you and answer any questions that you have. I will make myself available for phone consultations or in-person meetings, depending on your needs.
Note: the cost of food and supplements is not included in the cost of the program. Supplements usually cost between $100-150. If you do the juice fast only, supplements cost about $75.
The Value
My program is one of the most comprehensive cleanse, nutrition and holistic weight loss program in the San Francisco Bay Area.
This cleansing program will give you the support, knowledge and skills that you need to take care of yourself and your family for the rest of your lives. You won't have to re-learn anything. You will have the most up to date knowledge on nutrition, health and longevity in your hands. Immersion is the key to changing habits.
Doing a cleansing program is the best health insurance you can buy because it is proactive and preventative.
What do I do next?
If you are considering doing the cleanse, please contact me at 415-225-9666 or send me an email

Developing Architecture-Centric Engineering Within TSPArchitecture , Architecture Documentation , Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) , Quality Attribute Workshop , Team Software Process (TSP) No Comments »
By Felix Bachmann,
Senior Member of the Technical Staff,
Research, Technology, and System Solutions
Bursatec, the technology arm of Groupo Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV, the Mexican Stock Exchange), recently embarked on a project to replace three existing trading engines with one system developed in house. Given the competitiveness of global financial markets and recent interest in Latin American economies, Bursatec needed a reliable and fast new system that could work ceaselessly throughout the day and handle sharp fluctuations in trading volume. To meet these demands, the SEI suggested combining elements of its Architecture Centric Engineering (ACE) method, which requires effective use of software architecture to guide system development, with its Team Software Process (TSP), which teaches software developers the skills they need to make and track plans and produce high-quality products. This posting—the first in a two-part series—describes the challenges Bursatec faced and outlines how working with the SEI and combining ACE with TSP helped them address those challenges.

Executive Director, Common Cause New York
The Ground Zero Mosque: It's Not A Classic Good Government Issue – Or Is It?
First, it's not a mosque. Second, it's not at ground zero. You wouldn't think that a group like Common Cause/NY, the citizens' lobby, which stands up for responsive government, clean elections and ethical standards for our elected officials, would care what it is or where it is. But we do, passionately. The very fact that […] [Read More]
My prediction: The sky isn't falling because of the new machines this primary election day.
A lot is being written about the challenge voters face in using the new voting machines and there have been some dire predictions of older, minority and non-English speaking voters being discouraged, not voting properly, and even being scared to come out to the polls. Voters need to know about the new machines and the […] [Read More]
Ethics Reform Bill: Enough or Not Enough?
The right forces are in place now to demand independent ethics oversight over both the executive and the Legislature. The climate for ethics reform will not get any better. Political forces are demanding that the Governor and the Legislature show that they are responsive to the public's concerns by passing significant reform. They've still got a chance to do so. But it won't happen if we settle for the minimum the Legislature is willing to give. [Read More]
Passing the Hot Potato: Good Ad Hoc Ethics Oversight in the NY Senate is Still Ad Hoc
The misdemeanor conviction of State Senator Hiram Monserrate for physically abusing his girlfriend is seen as placing the State Senate Democrats in a difficult position. If the court had found Monserrate guilty of a felony, he would automatically have been removed from office. While calls mount for Monserrate's resignation, (a position supported by Common Cause/NY), he himself seems willing to try and foolishly ride out the storm. This is precisely the sort of situation which having an effective, independent ethics oversight body is designed to prevent. [Read More]
Send A Message to the State Senate: Get Back to Work and Stick With It
We at Common Cause/NY are fed up with gridlock in the New York State Senate. The antics of our state senators have stalled important bills on campaign finance reform, ethics, stimulus oversight, and election reform – to name only some of the areas where important bills were left to hang – and blocked renewal of […] [Read More]
Senators, Reach Out and Touch Another Senator
There is only one solution to the state senate meltdown: the personal touch. Each senator should pick one senator of the opposing party from a different part of the state from his or her own district and quietly and personally reach out to that senator. Make a phone call, send an email, have a mutual […] [Read More]
We must take back our state
Illinois is a national joke. California, a disaster. New York is now Italy. This state is essentially controlled by two billionaires who, like Sylvio Berlusconi, act in the manner of feudal lords.

The 20-year-old, who can play out wide or up front, has emerged as one of the brightest young talents at United, and was handed his debut by then interim boss Ryan Giggs at the end of last season having impressed during earlier loan stints at Yeovil and Carlisle.
His previous deal expired this summer, and United had been locked in talks to try and keep him at the club as Sky Sports understands more than a dozen clubs from the Premier League and Championship were interested in acquiring his services.
Welsh clubs Swansea and Cardiff tried to sign Lawrence back in January and their interest is known to remain, while the likes of Southampton, Newcastle, Sunderland, Leicester, Burnley, Stoke, Blackburn and Norwich have also showed an interest.
But Lawrence looks to have pledged his future to the Red Devils, with the hope of making the breakthrough under Louis van Gaal in the coming season.
Lawrence was also handed a call-up by Wales over the summer, but while his club future is set to be resolved, his international one is far from decided.
Sky Sports understands that, despite his call-up, England youth supremo Gareth Southgate is looking very closely at Lawrence, who would qualify through his English father, with a view to persuading him to make the switch.

"Opening the Blinds: Talking Race, Sex and Class at UT-Austin"
Tue, October 30, 2012 • 10:00 AM • BUR 214
Marleen Villanueva, Spanish Senior, member of La Colectiva Femenil
Marianna Anaya, Mexican American Studies and Radio, Television and Film Junior, member of La Colectiva Femenil
Juan Portillo, PhD Student in Sociology
Ganiva Reyes, PhD Student in Cultural Studies in Education
Rocio Villalobos, UT Alum and Program Coordinator for the Multicultural Engagement Center
While college is often sold as the ticket to a better life, being a UT student can also be a rough and violent experience. Recent bleach bombings against students of color, offensive sorority and fraternity race-themed parties, and the current attack on affirmative action can affect students' sense of security, their sense of belonging in our imagined community, and their emotional well-being. At the same time, UT's and Austin's claim to a liberal mentality can serve to obscure or diminish the impact of these events, as well as the sense of alienation that students can and often feel. As a response to the current campus climate, the Sociology department invites you to a panel presentation and discussion to frame these and other issues in a way that allows us to unravel the many social forces that affect students, including race, gender, sexuality, and social class.
In this panel, the presenters will open up a conversation to explain how race, sexuality, gender, and social class are experienced by students. First, Marleen Villanueva and Marianna Anaya will provide a narrative of their educational trajectory at UT-Austin, shedding light on their experiences as first generation college students, women of color, and student leaders. Next, using an intersectional, feminist, sociological lens, Juan Portillo will explain how UT can learn from students' experiences in order to understand how racism, sexism and classism are at work at UT in the form of "micro-aggressions." Ganiva Reyes will then talk about her experiences teaching the only required course in the College of Education that addresses race, gender, sexuality, and other factors in teacher training. Finally, Rocio Villalobos will provide her perspective as a UT alum and as someone who now works for UT in a center that seeks to address issues such as racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia.
The panel will be moderated by Dr Christine Williams, Chair of the Sociology Department. We hope that after the presentation the panelists and the audience can have a conversation that enriches our understanding of racism, sexism and classism, and what steps can be taken to address these problems.
The event is free and open to the public.

Council responds regarding Roundup
"Council uses a range of ways to control weeds across the Shire," said Johan Louw, Director of Environment and Infrastructure, Mount Alexander Shire Council.
"In parks and reserves areas in townships, these include extensive mulching, the use of weed matting and hand-weeding in some circumstances. A small amount of the less concentrated Biactive formula Roundup is used where needed. This lower concentrated product is not toxic to fish and a wetting agent is used to minimise the use and improve effectiveness.
"As part of our fire and flood prevention activities we also use Round-up Biactive twice a year (in May and August) to reduce weeds in some drains across the Shire and twice a year (in August and September) to control weeds on road shoulders in some areas."

Cathleen and Eric Jensen live on Chicago's Northwest side, in Logan Square. The Jensens have worked to create a useful and pretty garden, cultivating their small backyard (20' x 35') and their front yard (15' x 25') with native and local plants, and growing herbs, instead of grass, on the front lawn.
The couple—Cathleen is an occupational therapist and Eric is a securities investor—designed and implemented their garden themselves. With thoughtful planning, they spend relatively little time maintaining it: "We put in 5 to 15 hours a week. Aside from the initial planting, we pretty much just putter a little each night in the summer. We have soaker hoses that we use when we need to, but for the last couple summers, the garden required very little watering. As you can see, we just have a tiny amount of grass, so it only takes about 10 minutes with a push mower to cut it once a week."

You may want to put down your breakfast – a high school student in Arizona claims McDonald's served him a "McWorm" sandwich.
Derrick Holt posted a picture on Facebook and Twitter, of what he says is a half-eaten worm next to his Sausage McMuffin.
He said at first, he thought it was just a piece of fat, but when he pulled it out, he discovered it wasn't.
Derrick said he went straight to the manager – and that's when he says things got even more strange:
"I was like, I think it's a worm, and he goes, oh, no no, looks at it, picks it up, he's like that's just a bone. He says that happens all the time in our patties, in our hamburgers, in our chicken nuggets especially."
Derrick said the manager took the sandwich and gave him a refund.
McDonald's did respond to Derrick's complaint, saying they are looking into the matter. They also gave him coupons for free meals.

When a Jailbreak is released it is a very hectic time for developers, especially when a Jailbreak drops as unexpectedly as Evasi0n7 because usually most tweaks require a complete rewrite when new generations of Apple's mobile OS is released — especially considering how much of an overhaul iOS 7 was.
Two tweaks we still haven't seen updated for iOS 7 are Springtomize and CleverPin from Italian developer Filippo Bigarella. Recently, however, he has taken to his blog to provide an update on some of his tweaks. He mentioned in that blog post that he would submit an update for CleverPin as soon as he returned from vacation (today), featuring iOS 7 and ARM64 support, among other general improvements.
CleverPin allows you to make your iOS Device ask for a passcode intelligently: you can choose to automatically disable it while you're connected to your home network (more than one network supported), listening music or charging the battery.
He also wrote about the progress of bringing Springtomize to compatibility with iOS 7. Luckily Bigarella started working on the update before the iOS 7 Jailbreak was even released and has finished about 50% of the work.
So just why is Springtomize 3 taking Bigarella so long?
This is mainly because of the fact that it's not an update, at all; it's a complete rewrite, based on a completely new structure designed to solve many of the technical challenges that a big project like Springtomize brings to the game (and if you've ever developed an iOS tweak, you may be able to guess some of them).
Springtomize, of course, is a tweak that allows you to customize nearly every aspect of your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, from the homescreen to the lock screen and the dock and icons.
Who's excited for the release of Springtomize 3 and CleverPin?

Concordia Holds on to Defeat Bearcats, 86-83
Willamette Leads at Halftime; Brown Finishes with 18 Points
SALEM, ORE. -- Concordia University (Ore.) rallied from a 45-39 halftime deficit and held a seven-point lead with 1:29 remaining in the game, before holding on for an 86-83 victory over Willamette University on Monday, December 30 at Cone Field House.
The Cavaliers, who compete in the Cascade Collegiate Conference and the NAIA, upped their record to 10-4 on the season. Willamette, which plays in the Northwest Conference and NCAA Division III, fell to 2-7 overall.
Alex Brown (Jr., F, Happy Valley, OR/Clackamas HS) scored 18 points to top Willamette's scoring chart. He was 8 of 11 from the field Avery Manu (Sr., Wing, Pocatello, ID/Highland HS) added 16 points.
Brandon Luedtke (So., F, Meridian, ID/Mountain View HS) contributed a double-double for WU with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Alex Hansen (Sr., Wing, Reno, NV/Galena HS) added nine points on a trio of 3-point shots.
Concordia placed four players in double figures, led by Willy Ligon, who scored a game-high 25 points. Tyler Velasquez chipped in 17 points, while Kory Kirwan earned 15 points and grabbed seven boards. Esvan Middleton tallied 11 points to go with 11 rebounds.
The Bearcats moved out to a 6-2 advantage, but the game was tied five times in a bit more than the first eight minutes of play.
Willamette broke an 18-18 tie with a pair of free throws by Luedtke and went on to lead 27-23 following a 3-pointer by Hansen at the 8:36 mark. The Cavaliers forced the sixth tie of the game at 27-27 on a jumper by Ligon.
A layup by Brown with 7:17 on the clock moved WU in front 29-27. The Bearcats held the lead for the rest of the first half.
WU owned a 50-43 lead following a 3-point shot from Hansen early in the second half and remained in front until Concordia tied the score 59-59 with 10:54 remaining. Each team added three more points before Concordia surged in front, 68-62, with a 6-0 run.
Willamette trailed by seven points on four occasions the rest of the way, ending with an 80-73 score after Kirwan hit 1 of 2 free throws for the Cavaliers with 1:29 to go.
Manu scored on a layup with 1:13 left, as the Bearcats cut the lead to five points. After Anthony Holton of CU sank one free and missed the second with 1:04 on the clock, Manu added another layup with 49 seconds remaining to cut the margin to 81-77.
Ligon put in two free throws for Concordia five seconds later. Talanoa Smith (Jr., G, Pago Pago, American Samoa/Tafuna HS) drove to the hoop for Willamette and scored on a layup with 33 seconds left.
Kirwan made 1 of 2 free throws with 26 seconds remaining for CU, and Brown hit 1 of 2 free throws for Willamette at the 24-second mark, leaving the Cavaliers in front, 84-80.
Marquis Matthews grabbed the rebound of Brown's second shot and sent a quick pass to Velasquez at midcourt. Velasquez drove toward the basket, but Jared Baumgartner (Fr., Wing, Albany, OR/Crescent Valley HS) raced to get back on defense, and fouled him near the free throw line.
Velasquez missed both free throws and Luedtke rebounded the ball for Willamette. Hayden Russell (Fr., G, Woodland CA/Da Vinci HS) swished a 3-pointer for the Bearcats with 10 seconds to go, cutting CU's lead to a single point, 84-83.
Ligon added two free throws for the Cavaliers with four second left. Willamette was unable to set up a final shot.
Willamette shot 56.6% (30 of 53) during the game and hit 6 of 17 three-pointers (35.3%). Concordia connected on 50.9% of its shots (29 of 57), but made just 4 of 16 three-point attempts. The Cavaliers gained an edge in points at the free throw line, where they sank 24 of 37 shots (64.9%), while WU finished 17 for 25 (68.0%).
Concordia forced Willamette into 19 turnovers, as the Cavaliers earned nine steals. WU caused Concordia to lose the ball 14 times, with the Bearcats recording six steals.
The start of Northwest Conference play is next for Willamette. The Bearcats will play at home against Whitman College on Friday, Jan. 3 at 8 p.m. (PST), before hosting Whitworth University on Saturday, Jan. 4 at 6 p.m. (PST).

I've become a martyr to chainmail itch.
I'm something of an action girl, for Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) in 2000, I did intensive kick-boxing and I'm sure I could recall the moves if I found the need to defend myself in a dark alley. More recently I've become fairly proficient as a swordfighter thanks to my role as Morgause in Merlin. The only downside to being in Merlin is the costume, which becomes unbearable after ten minutes on set. I sympathise with medieval knights. Not only did they have to battle malaria and dysentery but they had to wear multiple layers of chainmail and armour. Whenever they got an itch, it was impossible to scratch unless they went at it with their swords.
The most important thing in the world is to have good manners.
Unfortunately they seem to be dying out. We live in a frenzied world and people have become more and more aggressive. Hardly anyone seems to have the time for good manners any more. I long for a return to the days when men would doff their trilbies to ladies in the street. Today you'd be hard pushed to find a trilby in the whole of London. But I'm a sucker for an old-fashioned gentleman. If a man opens the door for me it makes me day.
The hardest acting challenge is playing a drunk.
In my next movie, Harmony, I play a woman whose life descends into alcoholism. I've never been a big drinker, mainly because I don't like the feeling of being drunk. To get into character, I decided I needed to know what it's like to be completely plastered. So I bought a bottle of Jack Daniel's, something I've never tried before, and drank two-thirds of it as fast as I could. All that happened was that I sat on the sofa and cried my eyes out for the entire night. I also studied actors playing drunks on screen. Steve McFadden, who plays Phil Mitchell in EastEnders, is a master at it. What he taught me was that you have to resist the temptation to fall all over the place. When most people get drunk they become very focused and try hard to look as if they're sober. I hope I've pulled it off.

The Batman Arkham Series. Where do I even need to begin on how epic Rocksteady has currently made the Dark Knight? The amazing story, the practically flawless combat system, the atmosphere and solid voice acting of Mark Hamill, Kevin Conroy and company. This is the definitive Batman experience, you actually feel like the Caped Crusader himself. Arkham Asylum was released in August of 2009. During Spike TV's Video Game Awards at the end of the year, we got one of the most epic teasers for the upcoming sequel. Joker was unwell, clearly feeling the effects of the Titan formula ripping him apart from the inside out. Fans had two years of hype built up for Arkham City, and it was clear that Rocksteady was doing everything in its arsenal to make this game the best of its kind. Arkham City was released in October of 2011, and it's been dubbed by many to be the greatest Batman game ever made. There were even a few cliffhangers, with a mysterious figure telling Batman that basically the end is near, and the Hush subplot where he uses plastic surgery on himself to become Bruce Wayne. We all wondered if those subplots would be wrapped up in the sequel.
But, alas, we were sorely disappointed. The gaming community got a teaser of a new Batman game 6 months before its official release. However, this wasn't a sequel to AC, it was a prequel, meaning none of the previous games prior subplots would be resolved, and worse, Rocksteady wouldn't be developing it. It was given to WB Montreal, basically the "B" studio. Another odd decision was having Roger Craig Smith being the voice behind Batman, and not Kevin Conroy. It was mostly done to have Batman sound younger because he was just starting out protecting Gotham. Although Smith is a solid VA, I can't help but see just Chris Redfield in a Batsuit. The Joker also got a new voice, Troy Baker, who fills in admirably for Mark Hamill. When Arkham Origins was finally released, people saw immediately it was just a quick cut-and-paste of Arkham City's exact design and many immediately deduced that this was just made for a quick cash in for the franchise. Unfortunately, I have to agree. This series had no desire for a prequel. Although the story in the game was quite good, it was still completely unnecessary. Finally, when prequels are done, you have to get them done 100% correctly, otherwise the game will look inferior to its predecessors. This game was marred with technical hiccups when it was released for the 360, PS3, and Wii U. It was known to freeze on players both in game and when it autosaved, meaning there was potential that a person's save file could be corrupted after restarting the game afterwards. That is inexcusable. This is why game developers employ game testers, to iron out all of the flaws before a game's release. Yes, I understand that developers frequently release patches now to fix these problems. But it shouldn't be like this to begin with. We spent $60 on a game and the least the developers can do is make sure it can function properly.
In the end, this game shouldn't have existed to begin with. If Rocksteady continues to pursue creating games for the Batman franchise, it needs to be done at Rocksteady studios, and not WB Montreal. We've seen firsthand that WB Montreal can't create a successor to Arkham City. Magikmike39 out.

May 21, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia men's golf team will begin its quest for the program's third national title this week in the NCAA Championships at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas.
The national tournament is slated for Friday through Wednesday with an adjusted format in place.
Team stroke play will take place Friday through Sunday, with the top eight squads after 54 holes qualifying for match play. On Monday, the top 40 individuals plus ties will complete the 72-hole tournament to determine national medalist honors. The match play quarterfinals and semifinals are slated for Tuesday and the championship match is scheduled for Wednesday.
"I think we can expect an exciting tournament," Coach Chris Haack said. "All the teams have talent and the ones at the top are especially deep. The player who claims medalist honors and the team that survives stroke play and match play definitely will have earned it. We've got a shot to be successful, but we know we have to be at our best in every round."
The Bulldogs, who are seeded sixth and are ranked No. 3 by Golfweek and No. 6 by Golfstat and Golf World, will tee off on Friday in 10-minute increments between 1:40 and 2:20 p.m. and on Saturday between 8:20 and 9:00 a.m. Georgia will be paired with fourth-seeded Georgia Tech and fifth-seeded California in the first two rounds. Sunday's pairings will be determined by the 36-hole results.
The Bulldogs will use a lineup of seniors Michael Cromie, Joey Garber and Keith Mitchell, sophomore Lee McCoy, and freshman Greyson Sigg. Garber leads the Bulldogs with a 70.66 scoring average, followed by McCoy at 71.34, Cromie at 71.97, Sigg at 72.96 and Mitchell at 73.00. Garber, McCoy and Cromie all have individual victories this season.
The Golf Channel To Televise NCAAs
The Golf Channel will air live coverage from Monday's medalist finale as well as the semifinal match play pairings on Tuesday and the championship final Wednesday. In addition, the Golf Channel will be onsite beginning on Sunday to provide coverage on Golf Central, Morning Drive and GolfChannel.com.
Live scoring and tee times for the NCAAs also can be found at Golfstat.com and NCAA.com.
Bulldogs Dominate At San Antonio Regional
The Bulldogs qualified for the NCAAs by winning the San Antonio Regional at Briggs Ranch Golf Club. Georgia wound up at 11-under 853 to post a 13-shot decision over Georgia State. Lee McCoy paced the Bulldogs with a second-place individual finish.
Georgia advanced to the NCAAs for the 19th time in 25 years since the regionals format was adopted. Under Coach Chris Haack, the Bulldogs have made it to the NCAAs 16 of 18 seasons. Overall, this is Georgia's 45th berth in the NCAAs.
Georgia Claimed NCAA Titles In 1999 And 2005
The Bulldogs boast two NCAA team titles in their history. The squad of Ryuji Imada, Nick Cassini, Michael Morrison, Jeremy Parrott and Mark Northey claimed the 1999 national championship at Hazeltine Golf Club. The 2005 team of Kevin Kisner, Richard Scott, Brendon Todd, Chris Kirk and David Denham snared the national championship at Caves Valley Golf Club. The 2007 and 2011 Georgia teams each came in second. In 1946, George Hamer claimed medalist honors at the NCAAs - the only Bulldog to accomplish that feat. Imada and Kirk were NCAA runnersup.
Conference Calls For Bulldogs
Seniors Michael Cromie and Joey Garber were named First-Team All-Southeastern Conference in voting by the league's coaches. Sophomore Lee McCoy earned Second-Team All-SEC honors, while freshman Greyson Sigg was chosen for the SEC All-Freshman Team and senior Keith Mitchell was placed on the SEC Community Service Team.
Georgia Has Notched Four Wins This Season
With their victory in the San Antonio Regional, the Bulldogs now have four wins this season. The Bulldogs previously won the Dick's Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge Cup in September, the Linger Longer Invitational in March and the Met Intercollegiate in April. The 2001 and 2006 squads share the school record of six wins, while the 1978, 1982 and 2007 teams rolled up five each.
Haack Now Boasts 53 Wins As UGA's Coach
Georgia's win in the Dick's Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge Cup was the 50th in Coach Chris Haack's career. The three since then pushed his total to 53 and extended his own school record for the most among golf coaches.
"I am extremely humbled to reach a milestone like this," Haack said. "It means a lot to bring this recognition to Georgia. I can't help but think about all the fantastic players we've had through the years who helped get us to this point. I've also been blessed to have great assistants in Jim Douglas, Ryan Hybl and Jason Payne, who did such a tremendous job with recruiting and coaching. I know my name gets written down with this, but this is truly a team effort. It's something that I share with all of them."
PGA Tour? How About UGA Tour?
The Bulldogs have been dominant on the PGA Tour this season, led by five different winners -- Bubba Watson at The Masters and the Northern Trust Open, Chris Kirk in The McGladrey Classic, Harris English at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, Russell Henley in The Honda Classic and Brendon Todd in the Byron Nelson Championship. (And for good measure, Harris English teamed up with Matt Kuchar to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout and Kevin Kisner won the Pebble Beach Invitational -- each of which featured an all-star format.)
Watson now has six PGA Tour wins, the highest total among all the former Bulldogs.
Following Todd's win in the Nelson Championship, Watson ranked second in the FedExCup Standings, while English was seventh, Kirk was eighth, Todd was 11th and Henley was 30th.
Georgia's golfers have earned $16.1 million this season. That's twice as much as second-place Georgia Tech's $8 million, according to Rivals Cup. Watson leads the Bulldogs with $4.5 million, followed by English with $2.5 million, Kirk with $2.4 million, Todd with $2 million, Henley with $1.6 million and Brian Harman with $1.1 million.
The Bulldogs on Tour to a man credit Haack's system of having the players qualify each week to make the Georgia lineup for events.
"Pretty much every day while they were here, we had them in a pressure cooker and had them in situations where they were always having to perform," Haack said. "They really never had a free ride into playing. They were always very used to the competition, and at some point they learned how to handle it. In some form or fashion, they embraced that, and it's helped them be more successful."
Bulldogs Excel In The Classroom, Too
The Bulldogs have been successful off the course as well. Georgia earned a perfect score of 1,000 in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) to rank first in the SEC. The Academic Progress Rate, now in its ninth year, measures the eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team. It also serves as a predictor of graduation success. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13 academic years.

"Almost certain failure": How Monolith saved Mordor
I'm playing this now having borrowed a ps4 for few weeks, it a great game with lots of interesting ideas and good use of a licence. It may testament to the variety of systems that not everybody liked it, I am under half way so haven't experienced the overpowered phenomenon yet. But there is certainly one antagonist "Argath the Wise" who hangs around the spawn and has killed me so many times. He is a nemesis of my own making, I love to hate him and choosing my upgrades to best combat his talent with a poisonous spear. It's a truly novel situation and after 20 years of play new ideas are hard cur racy for me. Reply +2

Doctor Who: The Adventure Games released on Steam
My opinion (copied from previous game articles) is that if you playing as the Doctor in a Dr Who game then the licence has already been squandered.

Multiplayer still not working fro me. At the risk of repeating myself. I acquired this at lunch for PC, having minimum specs it work OK but I could see some RAM and a new graphics card will make big improvements, stretched my finances and brought an AMD 7850 as a Xmas present to myself on the promise of mantle, multi-player game has rarely (5% of attempts) worked for me since then. Exhausted all channels of support, and hoped the Mantel API would help (but they haven't rolled it out to the lower spec cards yet). By the looks of thing they have bigger fish to fry.

My God No. BF4 was clearly rushed to get onto the new generation, I can see the logic but proper updates should be 3 years.
If you must milk the cash cow then there are ways to do it. BC2 Vietnam & 1943 were delightful additions to the franchise that allowed experimentation but would keep a fanbase (and hopefully stock holders happy) until the next big overhaul. Reply 0

Battlefield 3: Armored Kill Review
So there are those that complain but if you've played BF3 at all you would know what your getting with these large maps on console. Conquest a little sparse but good for less frantic play. Alternatively it shouldn't matter how big a map is on Rush and clearly from most reviews it is the better mode for the lower count.
For those insisting on three reviews for a DLC you may have to look elsewhere but you'll have to wait as PS3 is the only format that gets it early, if you have the luxury of choosing which format to buy then as always on BF3 PC is the lead platform.
The only complaint that really stands up is that Dice could have compressed the conquest mode on console more but I would have to play it too find out if that's true.
Another vote for "Supply Lines Conquest" mode, didn't know it had an official name but it's clear this would be great on console and I we have 2 more DLC to go, so maybe we will see. Reply 0

Battlefield 3: How Fan-Run Servers Are Ruining DICE's Game
Are there many other examples of fan run servers on consoles? I think it's good idea in principle but will need some extra work before its escapes some of the highlighted problems.
Search "eurogamer" and you will get two well run servers that I have never had a problem with. I may try a few other mentioned here and fav them if they are good. This is not too much effort for the benefits. Reply 0
Nintendo: Wii U could become "preferred" Call of Duty platform
Not going to happen Nintendo, sorry. Find a new IP for your multi-player FPS, or facelift and old one specific to your hardware. Time splitters would work (always wanted a good multi-era FPS and DICE aren't taking my calls)

EA: Frostbite 2 built for the next generation
Yup BF:BC3 is the one I'm looking forward to, hinted at in the new map pack. Hopefully with next Gen Console as lead platform (tongue and cheek SP, no jets & universal gun attachments). Next gen better up the player count in multi player games otherwise I can't see the point of making the jump, PC had 64 player servers 10 years ago. Reply +3
Eurogamer Investigates The Mighty Simulator
I think its Jim Rossignol and Tim Stone of RPS that champion this genre, wouldn't like to play them but makes good reading. Nice to see there something for everyone.
Surly they coudld combine some of the ideas, Street cleaning, milk floats, Dust Carts & Ice cream could all be Van Simulator, another group of trades (Chimney sweep, loo-maintnenance) could be a man simulator.
Scrap that just have "Man in a Van" Simulator and you've dominated the market with an endless amount of sequels. Reply +5

@metalangle. While I agree that the disarm gamble was exciting, you could sometimes tell by the frequency of beeps that it wasn't worth entering the M-com building.
With the new rules it will always be worth denfenders rushing in to disarm at any stage of the countdown, the excitment will be if they can clear the room and get to the m-com in time.
We will now be treated the classic hollywood scene of people rushing into a building only to have it instantly expolde. Reply +1

Neems & Arcam have got it.
I your not enjoying the game because a)you haven't got all the unlocks or b) your team is losing then you not playing it with the right attitude.
I have no objection to people paying for content access but to get it all at once means you don't get time to learn it all very easy. The only time I wasn't having fun in BC2 is during spawn raping (attack or defence) or unbalanced teams by qty as long as DICE have reduced this I will be happier. Reply +1

TESV: Skyrim level cap explained
I quickly found out the most effective way to play Oblivion was to have very tight control over you major skills so you didn't level too quickly a get run into a Minotaur as soon as you left a town (lord knows how the locals manage). Fast travel becomes a crutch when you can barely survive walking on the highway from one town to another.
2nd time round I had a paper tally chart of stats and skills so I could track it between levels, i'e thats enough sword fighting for today better get out my mace or better stop this quest and go home to mix up 30 health potions.
It was incredibly geeky and I had to hide the chart from my wife. Reply +15

Low Country Rice Pilau with Ham, Bacon and Peas
Pilau is a classic in Charleston, the surrounding Lowcountry and other Southern locales, a dish of many variations, spellings, and even origins. "We found it traced to Turkey, India, Iran, Iraq, Spain, Minorca, Greece, Poland, and the Orient," writes John Edgerton in "Southern Food: At Home, On the Road, In History." As adaptable (and debated) as Louisiana's jambalaya or Spain's paella, it's the kind of dish that lets a cook express herself.
This dressed-up version makes a lot of pilau, enough for a crowd of twenty at a potluck or as a side dish for a family reunion. As a main course it will feed ten hungry diners.
You can use canned chopped tomatoes instead of fresh ones; if so, use the juice from the cans to replace some of the chicken stock.

HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Texans continued to bolster their linebacker corps Saturday in the fourth round of the NFL draft.
After selecting LSU outside linebacker Sam Montgomery in the third round with the 95th overall pick Friday, Houston selected Connecticut outside linebacker Trevardo Williams with the 124th overall pick of the draft.
Williams had 42 tackles, including 13.5 for loss and 11.5 sacks in his senior season for Connecticut, following his junior season when he had 12.5 sacks, which was good for fifth in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Houston Texans linebackers coach Reggie Herring said Williams adds speed to the Texans' special teams and defense.

Once Upon a Time Season 1, Episode 5: 'That Still Small Voice' Recap: Listen to the Crickets
Hello, Jiminy Cricket! Or, as he is known in Storybrooke, Dr. Archie Hopper (Raphael Sparge). In last night's Once Upon a Time Season 1, Episode 5: "That Still Small Voice," we saw Emma's (Jennifer Morrison) power rise, Regina's (Lana Parrilla) power fall, and watched the town of Storybrooke find its conscience.
In the Fairy-Tale World...
We begin with a puppet show: a princess type wishing for someone to slay an evil dragon, a prince in armor appears. Throughout the performance, a young red-headed boy is stealthily stealing pocket change from the townspeople. Away from the town, we see his parents sorting through his treasures. Has Helena Bonham Carter ever looked better? Well, it's her doppelganger all right — right down to the John Lennon spectacles.
A cricket appears among the ragtag family's goods, and the young boy speaks about his admiration of the tiny creatures. "Crickets hop from place to place. They're free." And then we realize: We're meeting the young Jiminy Cricket, whom we've met in Storybrooke already. He is Dr. Hopper, Henry's (Jared Gilmore) optimistic (though sheepish) therapist.
Back in Storybrooke...
Henry is in Dr. Hopper's office, and we gather this isn't the first time Henry has tried convincing him that he is really Jiminy Cricket. Dr. Hopper asks him, "How do you know?" and Henry tells him that his conscience helps people see right from wrong. (We wish our therapist did that!) There are, apparently, no crickets in Storybrooke, which implies that the town has no moral core, no way for the residents to see the truth. Hmm…
Meanwhile, Emma is with the incredibly hot Sheriff Graham (Jamie Dornan, formerly Keira Knightley's boyfriend and British model) at the station, being sworn in as the new deputy in town. But she's not a fan of the "man's" uniform, choosing instead to just wear the almighty badge on at her side. As soon as she places the shiny metal on her hip, Storybrooke is struck with a strong earthquake. All the phones start ringing. We soon learn that the quake caused a crater in the land out by an empty piece of road. An underground tunnel has emerged. Mayor Regina Mills explains that the area is "honeycombed with old mining tunnels." Her plan? Bulldoze it, fill it in, pave it.
Henry, as usual, disagrees with Madame Mayor. He thinks there's something down there that Regina is hiding. She picks up a piece of thick glass that gives her pause.
Henry tells Emma that something made this happen. Something she did today caused this particular piece of land to break free. Again, we close in on the badge. We've already seen the curse weakening since Emma got to town. Does her acquisition of power also signify her ability to overtake the mayor? Her rise seems directly related to the mayor's fall. More importantly, how is the owner of Storybrooke, Mr. Gold a.k.a. Rumpelstiltskin's (Robert Carlyle) power managed? We saw him weaken in the face of Emma's negotiation, but somehow we suspect the "favor" he'll ask of her may be a bigger deal than say, asking for a tissue.
Back to the episode!
Regina tells Dr. Hopper that he needs to be more stern with Henry and his "delusions." She'll ruin his life (take away his job, make him homeless) if he doesn't acquiesce. So good old Archie does his best, telling Henry that he's showing signs of psychosis, and he might wind up in a loony bin if he doesn't squash his fairy-tale imagination. Henry, with tears in his eyes, runs away to the scene of the explosion with his trusty flashlight, determined to find what the Mayor is hiding down there.
Back in Fairy-Tale World...
We discover that Jiminy can't escape his poaching parents. They use him to swindle everyone they meet, and they use their age to guilt-trip him into staying. Yet another precocious young boy offers Jiminy his parasol. An act of kindness, amidst the sound of crickets. We get the idea that hearing crickets is like hearing your conscience.
Back in Storybrooke...
Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin, who we like to call MM for short) is playing Hangman with "David Nolan," who we, of course, know is Prince Charming (Josh Dallas). She's trying to figure out the puzzle, only to realize it is "Mary Margaret." "I almost hanged on my own name," she says. "I would have never let you hang." Flashbacks to when Snow White was wanted, and Prince Charming told her he would always find her, always protect her. Meanwhile, in present day, he says that maybe he'll like these memories (with MM) better. "Mrs. Kathryn Nolan" (Anastasia Griffith) shows up, bringing pictures of their old dog, Ajax. Yeah, he says, he does remember. But maybe he's faking.
MM and Emma are talking about boys, and we get more insight into Emma's past: She was once involved with a married man, and it didn't end well. Also interesting because Snow White became involved with the Prince when he was clearly intended for that Regal Blonde (also Anastasia Griffith, and Kathryn's counterpart) we met two episodes ago.
Regina calls because Henry is missing. Jiminy knows where Henry went: to the crater!
Back in Fairy-Tale World...
Rumpelstiltskin is spooling thread. (Anyone else feel a pang for Jacob spooling thread on the Island? We did.) Jiminy brings him some of the treasure he and his family have been stealing, along with a list of names of the people we assume they were stolen from (Sigh. A list of names. Oh, Lost.) He knows Jiminy wants something else, with magic. Jiminy explains how he wants to be free from the wagon, but something is holding him back. "It's my parents." Rumpel turns a spool of golden thread into a black cylinder with a potion inside.
"After the potion does its work, leave them where they are. It will be my fee." Rumple says they'll be in safe hands and then Jiminy will be free.
We next see the Cricket family planning their next con on a perfectly lovely and sweet young couple. Helena and Mr. Cricket convince the Lovelies that there is a plague approaching the town and the only way to become immune is to douse themselves in "elf tonic." What do they want in exchange? Oh, just all their money and some household goods as well!
Jiminy just can't stand it anymore, especially seeing as how lovely the Lovelies were, so he pops his own magic tonic out and sprays it on his parents. Oops! His parents had conned him too, switching the black cylinders, meaning the Lovelies had just poured Rumpel's poison on themselves. In a truly tense and frightening scene, Jiminy enters their home to see exactly what Rumple's tonic was intended to do. We see two little wooden puppets holding hands on the bed, with shocked expressions.
To really twist the knife, that parasol-toting boy comes in looking for his parents. Jiminy and his conscience really light up with pain.
Back in Storybrooke...
Dr. Hopper (cute, right?), Emma, and the mayor are gathered at the site, arguing over who gets to go in and save him. Archie wins, but as soon as he goes in, another explosion/avalanche traps him inside. Meanwhile, we see Henry searching for something, coming across another piece of that darn glass. Archie and Henry find each other, and after Henry convinces Archie that he needs to become the man he wants to be, to remember his purpose, they begin looking for a way out.
After a series of exaggerated avalanches and drilling plans and more explosions, and Emma lowering herself down an air shaft, the pair is saved. After what looked like a truce, the mayor immediately returns to shooing Emma away and enclosing Henry in her grasp.
Mary Margaret is heading home from Storybrooke Hospital, and the Prince, er, David, starts talking to her. He needs to start walking 30 minutes a day outside with an escort. Maybe she'll be willing to help? Off they go. "It's like I woke up in some strange land," he says. "What about when you're with her?" He admits he lied about remembering the dog. "She's just so loving. I didn't want to disappoint her. Who would name a dog Ajax? None of it feels real."
Finally, David says, "Actually one thing does feel real: you. You're the only thing in this whole place that feels right." Wouldn't you know, Kathryn, the mayor-influenced supposed wifey, shows up again! She made some cranberry muffins, saying they "used to be your favorite."
Back in Fairy-Tale World:
Poor Jiminy. He indirectly caused the death of two good people, and rendered an innocent kid an orphan. Sulking with his very guilty conscience, he speaks a silent wish. The Blue Fairy (Keegan Connor Tracy) shows up! In case we hadn't noticed, the Blue Fairy rounds out the main characters of the classic Pinocchio fairy tale.
She explains that she can't bring back the boy's parents, but he can help. He wishes once more, and poof. He's a very dapper little cricket dressed in a tux, who can now hop around from place to place, protecting the boy for the rest of his life. Who was that boy? Oh, you know, just Gepetto. Who, of course, is Dr. Hopper's best friend in Storybrooke.
Summing Things Up...
The story didn't progress much at all. We were given another character's back story and we met Tinkerbell, who oddly favors huge cleavage and pounds of makeup. Mary Margaret and David grew a little closer, but MM's conscience told her to stop getting too close to a married man.
Emma was put into a position of power in Storybrooke, immediately causing the curse to weaken.
While the story didn't move forward much, here's what we did learn...
Interesting Thought No. 1: We learned a lot about Regina this episode. For one thing, we actually buy the fact that she has no idea why she would be hiding anything in an old mine. When she picked up that piece of glass, no thought bubbles or sudden memories flashed across her face. She just felt a connection.
Also, when Henry was in danger, those were genuine tears she was crying. She really does want to keep him safe. She cares about him just like a mother would. It's just that she has the opposite of what Jiminy Cricket has: an evil conscience. And bad manners, too.
Interesting Thought No. 2: Dr. Hopper threatens the mayor with the idea that, someday, she will be involved in a custody battle. He will be the "expert" called upon to provide insight, so she better stop messing with him. We learn that, unsurprisingly, Henry is the mayor's one weakness; and more importantly, that the mayor will be combating either Emma or Mary Margaret (or both) for custody!
Interesting Thought No. 3: The glass pieces are shown to be part of a large, fallen tree trunk located underneath the town. It seems to be made of glass and wood. But with those pieces reattached, we suspect that, the more the curse is weakened, the more the Enchanted Forest will begin to overtake Storybrooke — from the roots up! Just listen to those crickets chirping now.
Interesting Thought No. 4: If Archie is Jiminy Cricket, his pal is Gepetto (which I'll get to...), and we've met the Blue Fairy... is it possible that Henry is Pinocchio?

Scottish and northern English: from Middle English belle 'bell', in various applications; most probably a metonymic occupational name for a bell ringer or bell maker, or a topographic name for someone living 'at the bell' (as attested by 14th-century forms such as John atte Belle). This indicates either residence by an actual bell (e.g. a town's bell in a bell tower, centrally placed to summon meetings, sound the alarm, etc.) or 'at the sign of the bell', i.e. a house or inn sign (although surnames derived from house and inn signs are rare in Scots and English).

Our research addresses the molecular basis of normal and neoplastic growth in the developing nervous system. We hope that by understanding the normal processes that govern formation of the brain we will uncover new approaches for the treatment of rare but very devastating pediatric brain tumors, Research in the laboratory combines basic approaches with genomics and translational science in a broad-based effort. Our experimental strategies include disease models, cell culture, genomics, human tumor samples, imaging and a range of molecular techniques.
Previously, we identified the reelin gene (Reln) whose protein product is a large extracellular protein that controls cell migration and is secreted by several early populations of neurons in the developing brain. We are now examining the molecular events downstream of Reln that mediate its function.
We are taking genomic approaches to identify molecular changes and potential drug targets for several brain tumors including medulloblastoma, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors and choroid plexus carcinomas. We developed a model system with a 100 percent incidence of spontaneous medulloblastoma for use in translational studies. Recently, we found that a small molecule inhibitor of the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway eliminated even large tumor masses in vivo. We are continuing to analyze the mechanism of action of several anticancer drugs in tumor cells and cancer models.
