The Academy and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema present PHASE IV (new print!) feat. long-lost ending!
|Saul Bass
|Nigel Davenport, Michael Murphy and Lynne Frederick
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Ants. Harmless creatures, right? If you said or thought "yes" in response, then you obviously haven't seen Saul Bass' sole feature directorial effort, the haunting and delirious PHASE IV. When desert ants spontaneously form a collective "hive mind" intelligence and begin to terrorize their fellow desert inhabitants, what does it mean for society as we know it? In short: a new future for life on earth, a new phase of evolution altogether... one without human beings.
A box office disappointment in its initial release, PHASE IV is one of those underappreciated sci-fi gems that is only now being reappraised by modern audiences. In partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Academy Film Archive, we at the Drafthouse are proud to present a brand-new 35mm print of PHASE IV created specifically for this event!
This once-in-a-lifetime presentation will also include a rare screening of a new high-definition digital transfer of film's original psychedelic end sequence, long rumored not to exist at all! This sequence was recently unearthed by an Academy archivist and may well be considered the cinematic discovery of the decade! It is with great pleasure that we partner with the Academy to showcase this incredible film, complete with its original ending! Ellen Harrington, Director of Exhibitions and Special Events for the Academy, will appear in person to introduce and share with you the unbelievable story behind this archival find! (Sam Prime)

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Over the past few years I have been finding it progressively harder and harder to find the Christmas spirit within myself.
I'm not sure why. I have a wonderful life; unlike the movie of the same name I have no bank examiners chasing me and I have a great family, plenty to eat and a semi-warm house to live in.
I should be thankful for all I have, but sometimes it is hard to see out of the forest for the brambles that we ourselves have grown up around us.
So that's the way it's been, each year searching for the spirit, but only finding, instead, expensive gifts under the tree and the bills that follow the season.
However, on Friday, I did find the Christmas spirit, and it was hiding on a street near the Rio Grande train station in Salt Lake. What Christmas means to each of us varies. For me Christmas, before my days of blue ones, always had to do with the people that were around me; seeing those you hadn't seen for awhile, having a drink or two with old friends and some travel to enjoy the company of family. Personally if they took the gifting out of Christmas, I would never have lost much after I was 15. It has always been the celebration of life that I liked the best, not the stuff. But somehow in the last few years, I had forgotten even that. On Friday I had lunch in the old train station with a friend I hadn't seen in almost 30 years. It was a good homecoming, despite the fact that I had been closer to his sister than I had to him. After she passed away in 1975, he and I had never even conversed until about two weeks ago and it is then that we decided to get together. When the two of us walked out of the restaurant, I felt happy and renewed; we had talked about our lives, the directions they had taken and of course about a woman we had both cared about a great deal. He then went his way and I went mine, with a big smile on my face.
As I pulled out onto the street and headed north I realized I was right in the middle of the block where the homeless in Salt Lake get meals and look for help. Here the street is lined with people that have scruffy beards, torn and dirty clothes, while they haul around rag bags carrying all that they own within them. Ironically, at the end of the block where one can view this spectacle of human misery, stands the south entrance to the Gateway shopping plaza. It, by contrast, could be seen full of holiday shoppers carrying big bags of presents while they sniffed air scented by expensive restaurants cooking all kinds of feeding fare. As I maneuvered my car along this street it was as if I was in a third world country, bordered by a very rich nation. I pulled up to the stop sign to wait for traffic so I could head downtown to pick up my wife who was shopping while I met my friend for lunch. I had my window down because it was such a nice day. Two, obviously homeless men, were crossing at the intersection coming directly toward my car. My first inclination was that they would be asking for money and that I should roll up my window as quickly as possible.
"Merry Christmas, sir," said one, a long haired blonde man that I judged to be about 35 as he walked near the car. I was so shocked that I was sure this was some kind of ploy.
"It's a beautiful day, isn't it," said the other, a sixtyish man with a torn coat, as he looked into the sky. "You have a great holiday."
I would like to have been them just to see the look on my face as they passed through the crosswalk in front of my car. I then drove away with my jaw locked in the open position, trying to figure out what had just happened.
As it turned out it was a good day and a surprising day; one in which I found the spirit for the whole season in a most unlikely place.

Back to the Good Old Populist Days of Kicking Court Butt
Brian Tamanaha
What stands out most in John Yoo's WSJ Op-Ed on the Military Commissions Act is not his legal analysis, but the triumphalist populist posture he strikes against the court. "The new law is, after all, a stinging rebuke to the Supreme Court." "This time," Yoo editorializes, "Congress and the president did not take the court's power grab lying down." Yee hah, that'll show the uppity SCOTUS.
There will always be a tension between necessary judicial independence to make unpopular, though legally grounded, decisions and judicial accountability for abusing the office by acting extralegally from the bench.
Generally, judicial oversight bodies are next to useless in this regard. In one way they are the same as legislative ethics committees, which are at loathe to take on of their own to task.
I would suggest that the best means of accountability would be to use the constitutional check of impeachment. This avenue has been all but closed in the past because it was generally limited to criminal conduct by the judge, not abuse of power. However, impeachment would provide accountability from outside the judiciary, but permit more deliberation than some grand jury.
Its also a retroactive amendment, and applies not only to judges, but to "juries, school boards, city councils, county commissions, or in similar capacities, and prosecutors".
Jail4judges headed by Ronald Branson got it on the ballot in South Dakota. There's also info at http://www.no-on-e.com/
Amendment E, incredibly enough, seems to be supported by a large majority, nearly 70% of likely voters in South Dakota, with a somewhat greater percentage of Democrats in favor than Republicans. Also, lower income voters are much more likely to support it than those with higher incomes. (All of this is from a Zogby poll.) So what are we to make of this shining example of democracy in action?

It appears like that what Bar Associations defend as "judicial independence" appears to a vast majority of folks in North Dakota to be unaccountable arrogance. Rather than calling a bipartisan super majority of 70% of North Dakota stupid, maybe we in the legal profession ought to take a hard look at what is causing this kind of a backlash.
Out here in Colorado, the Bar is fighting an initiative requiring a retroactive 10 year term limit for judges and taking away the right to choose judges from a bar committee and giving it to the Governor on the ground that it is also "an attack on judicial independence.. However, I imagine that it too will pass in a landslide.
I can't imagine that South Dakota judges, or their decisions, are too off the wall (though I may be wrong; I don't read the SD Reporter).
In any case, I detect of bit of Puritanism here, and the wish (or entitlement) to a paradise on Earth. These South Dakotans may be as Garrison Keilor portrays them, lost in the illusion that they are "all above average" and deserving of something better than the ordinary servings of humanity.
They can't accept that human justice is an imperfect imitation of divine justice. Mistakes are made, calendars languish, judges are irritable, witnesses lie and prevaricate, juries become inflamed, feelings are hurt.
So, blame the judges, and bring down some divine justice on the impostors.
>>maybe we in the legal profession ought to take a hard look at what is causing this kind of a backlash.
Hysterical right-wing attacks on the courts? Christianist fundamentalists who don't like court decisions? Yeah, we should take a hard look at that.
I wouldn't call the South Dakota voters stupid, but I certainly think Amendment E is a bad idea. I was really thinking about the recent debate here about the wisdom of tinkering with the US Constitution for the purpose of removing impediments to majority rule.
I just looked into the Colorado ballot initiative that would retroactively impose judicial term limits. I would not bet on its passage because of the way support for such initiatives has historically waned as the election has approached. I agree, however, that it enjoys a healthy amount of support in Colorado, and that the same populist impulse is at work in both states.
Here is an example of the kind of high handed politics on the Colorado courts which is fueling a petition to term limit judges and amend the state constitution to protect petitions from judicial vetoes.
Illegal immigration and its associated costs is a very hot political issue here in Colorado. A very hard core petition to punish businesses who hire illegals and to force the state government to identify and deny all non mandatory benefits to illegals garnered twice the usual amount of signatures and would very likely have passed if allowed to a vote.
However, the state supreme court barred the illegal immigrant petition, claiming that it violated the single subject rule. This specious and obviously political ruling came under fire from both sides of the political divide because it was such a blatant effort to derail a petition which the justices found to be personally objectionable. Indeed, the outcry was so large that the Governor had to call the Legislature into special session to address the illegal immigrant issue.
We risk legitimate judicial independence when the courts engage in this sort of outlaw policy making from the bench to thwart the popular will.
I am sure some similar incidents in North Dakota set off that sage brush rebellion against the courts. People do not invest the time and money into things like this unless something has mightily ticked them off.
i'm not a colorado resident, and i have not read the background on either the illegal immigration initiative you describe, nor the ballot initiative to limit the terms of judges in colorado. i don't have the time to look deeply into it, but based upon your description, i have a couple of observations:
first off, the idea of limiting the terms of judges is certainly better than the star chamber being proposed in south dakota. if i were practicing there, this would certainly have an extremely chilling effect on any decision i may make in the future regarding attempting to become a judge. i can imagine the future quality of the judiciary in south dakota if that ever passes. who on earth would ever want to be a public servant in that situation?
as for your colorado initiatives, your own description of the illegal immigrant petition shows judges doing their work properly, and exactly as conservatives say they want judges to act. i assume the single subject rule is on the books in colorado. i also assume it is there for a reason. your description of the illegal immigration initiative on its own shows the violation of the single subject rule, assuming that the initiative is as you describe it... subject one... punishing businesses that hire illegals... subject two... forcing the state government to deny all non-mandatory benefits to illegals. the first subject seeks to regulate private businesses. the second subject seeks to regulate the conduct of government. these are two clearly different topics simply bound by the fact that they both deal with the topic of illegal immigration, but in very different ways directed to very different targets.
it seems to me, admittedly without reading the court's opinion, but based simply upon your description of it that the court simply read the law as it stands and made a straight forward ruling based upon colorado law. i thought that is what conservatives scream for judges to stick to... or is it more of the same nonsense that when you rule in my favor you are strictly interpreting the law, but when you rule against me you are playing politics and being "activist".
finally, it would seem to me that if the ruling in the case were that the initiative violated the single subject rule, what was wrong with simply going back and presenting two intiatives on the ballot, one directed to punishing businesses who hire illegals, and the other to force state governments to deny non-mandatory benefits to illegals? the fact that the reaction is to place an initiative on the ballot to limit the terms of judges, retroactively at that, rather than address the objections of the judicial panel and conform the initiative to state law says to me that the proponents of both the illegal immigration initiative and the term limitations initiative are not serious about either issue, but simply want to make some noise and try to intimidate people.
Getting back to Yoo's op-ed, what is remarkable (if unsurprising) about it is that he actually refers to a "power grab," but ascribes it to the wrong branch. It is not, of course, the judiciary, but the executive, aided and abetted by a compliant, no longer coordinate, legislative.
Apart from that, of course, it's the usual unitary executive tripe.
I'm of two minds about this: on the one hand, the only thing that scares me more than near elderly, hopelessly out of touch judges making decisions for the rest of us is the ignorant, TV-news-watching public doing it. At least judges have been trained in actual law, with books and everything, most of the public knows only the parts of the law they see on TV (Court TV and the Law and Order shows).
On the other hand, judges should be accountable, not that they're not already. But it does seem that judges practically have to kill somebody right there in court to get kicked out.
Still, my default position is usually that anything politicians are in favor of is something I should be opposed to. If Republicans think judges are doing the wrong thing, the judges are probably doing OK, because the Republicans don't appear to be the best judges of character. They can't keep their hands off the teenaged pages, but the judges are making bad decisions?
I guess South Dakota is determined to make being a judge so unpleasant that nobody wants to do it and so they'll be drawing from the same lovely pool of applicants who now run the Congress, the various state legislatures, etc. Way to go, South Dakota. You'll be sorry.
Actually, I agree that the Colorado Supreme Court decision on the single subject rule is pretty much indefensible. But, you know, judicial review is not always intellectually satisfactory, and I don't think that angry populist attacks on judges and courts are likely to improve the quality of the judiciary. As I understand it, the same governor who called the special session of the legislature in response to the state supreme court decision now opposes this term-limit initiative.
Democracy and the republican form of government always seem like the worst form of government-- until you look at the alternatives. Well, South Dakota is about to provide an alternative to an democracy: judicial chaos. Expect a dictator to emerge.
Just curious: can the regime that is about to be instituted in South Dakota plausibly be argued to be inconsistent with the Constitutional guarantee of a "Republican form of government?"
One imagines that the lack of stability and certainty of judicial outcomes that will inevitably ensue if that abomination passes will quickly drive all of the biggest private employers out of the state. Most of the back-office jobs in South Dakota can be done just as easily, and for lower cost, in Ireland, India, Singapore, or any number of other places. The only reason those jobs continue to be in South Dakota is inertia.
I'd say this one has a sell-by date of November 2008.
Oh, and Bart: what exactly is "specious" about the Colorado Supreme Court's application of the single-subject rule? Be specific, and give examples. There are tons of California precedents on the application of its similar rule, and it may be useful to look there in developing whatever principled arguments you may wish to make.
Ultimately, initiatives that have true poplular support get re-written and come back in a year or two.
Here is the text of the Colorado illegal immigration initiative. (I think it's complete.) I would not support such an initiative on the merits, but it does look like a single subject to me. I would say that (1) is the substance of the single subject and (2) and (3) are procedural. I believe the majority on the state supreme court concluded that the initiative would have a multiplicity of effects.
(1) Except as mandated by federal law, the provision of
non-emergency services by the state of Colorado, or any county,
city, or other political subdivision thereof, is restricted to
citizens of and aliens lawfully present in the United States of
(2) Any person lawfully residing in the state of Colorado shall
have standing to sue the state of Colorado, or any county, city, or
other political subdivision of the state of Colorado, to enforce
this section.
(a) Courts of record of the state of Colorado shall have
jurisdiction to hear cases brought to enforce this section.
(b) The general assembly may provide reasonable and appropriate
limits on the time and manner of suits brought under this section.
(3) The general assembly shall have the authority to implement this
section by definitions and other appropriate legislation.
I see that the proponents of the South Dakota amendment, trying to live up to stereotypes, have misspelled "amendment" in their title graphic.
If the people have no respect for the rule of law the rule of law will fail. If law doesn't reflect the will of the people as principle, then they won't respect the law.
It is not a matter for experts to discuss among themselves when expertise as such is the subject of discussion.
Bart: You have no credibility because;
1) You write about NORTH Dakota in your 2 posts. It's SOUTH Dakota ,dude.
2)Certain people DO spend their time tilting at windmills( imaginary/nonexistent problems)for self agrandizement, or for profit.I think we call them crackpots.
Your entire thesis is a 'where there's smoke ,there's fire' nonsense. Why not show SPECIFIC examples of rampant , gross, judicial misconduct in SD?
Yeah,..try using actual facts. Now there's a fresh idea!
BDP writes: "We risk legitimate judicial independence when the courts engage in this sort of outlaw policy making from the bench to thwart the popular will.
I am sure some similar incidents in North Dakota set off that sage brush rebellion against the courts. People do not invest the time and money into things like this unless something has mightily ticked them off."
North/south mixup notwithstanding (and understandable, actually), Jail4Judges is where the entire impetus for the SD amendment "E" issue, and has nothing at all to do with what is facetiously refered to as "outlaw policy making from the bench". J4J, based in California, provided the lion's share of resources (money, materials, and people) for SD amendment E.
The strength of support for such a self destructive amendment is more a sign of resources pured into the state by J4J than 'outlaw judges'.
A nation of laws? Sounds like the South Dakotan's want a nation of Judge Roy Beans! Shoot first, ask questions later justice that may satisfy the libido of the law, if not the letter.
"Bart" DePalma says:
I would suggest that the best means of accountability would be to use the constitutional check of impeachment. This avenue has been all but closed in the past because it was generally limited to criminal conduct by the judge, not abuse of power.
That's soooooo "pre-1998". Lewinsky changed everything. In a New World threatened by by the horrors of preznitdential hummers, we have to relax the old rules, and impeach people just because we don't like 'em.
For those that protest that the Republicans really did care about "crimes" (and ignore the fourth article of impeachment that was pushed by the rabid Republicans), I'd point out that Starr studiously avoided any mention of materiality (and U.S. v. Gaudin) in his Starr Repornt, and the Republicans looked the other way and kept saying "but ... but ... but ... he lied under oath!!!"

Bad Faith (Mauvaise foi)
Roschdy Zem and Cecile de France star as a Muslim Arab and a Jewish woman who find their four-year love affair put to the ultimate test in director/co-writer Zem's 21st Century take on Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Ishmael (Zem) is a music instructor at a Paris conservatory. His widowed mother still lives in the housing project in which her son was raised, and his Jewish best friend is the proprietor of a popular independent record store. Clara (France) is a physical therapist who specializes in helping motor-impaired children and whose retired parents live with her single sister in the family's comfortable suburban home. Secular thirty-somethings who never put much credence in adhering to their respective faiths, Ishmael and Clara have remained together for four fun-filled years without incidence. When Clara discovers that she has become pregnant with Ishmael's child, however, the couple's carefree romance threatens to grow complicated as their ethnic backgrounds bleed into the forefront of their consciences and they struggle with how to reveal the development to their traditional-minded parents.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

AKWESASNE - An overheated lamp cord caused a minor fire at approximately 10:10 p.m. Thursday at the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort.
Casino officials, in a press release issued Friday, said two casino associates were treated for minor ailments.
They said fire department officials had ruled that a pinched wire in a floor lamp located in an unoccupied seventh floor hotel room had ignited, causing minor damage. The fire was quickly extinguished using a hand-held fire extinguisher, according to casino officials.
For safety reasons, hotel occupants were evacuated and the Hogansburg-Akwesasne Volunteer Fire Department and the Saint Regis Mohawk Police responded with aid from local area fire departments, they said. Hotel occupants were allowed to return to their rooms without incident.

Book flights to the United Kingdom and discover why this country is so proud of its heritage. From ancient Stonehenge, to countless castles, historic homes and cathedrals, to museums packed with artifacts from the region's imperial days, there's a wealth of history to be uncovered in virtually every inch of this fascinating country.
Top Things to Do in the United Kingdom
- Step back in time at England's largest castle, Windsor Castle, which has been home to the royal family for hundreds of years
- Visit towering Edinburgh Castle, which dates back to 1000 A.D., and has been the setting of some of Scotland's most important historic events
- Get up close to the treasures in the British Museum, home to an enormous collection of art and antiquities, and considered to be among the world's greatest museums
Discover the United Kingdom
Compared to well-known Scotland and England, Wales is the United Kingdom's underappreciated hidden gem. Hike to beautiful Llyn y Fan Fach, the inspiration behind numerous Welsh legends. Travel to peaceful Llansteffan, a pretty seaside village with a hilltop castle.
The United Kingdom's Pleasures
Book tickets to the United Kingdom in the winter and catch some of the country's best festivals. Try over 200 different beers at Manchester's Winter Ales Festival, or check out Shetland's Up Helly Aa, during which thousands of participants dressed as Vikings carry torches throughout the city. You'll have no trouble finding cheap hotels in the United Kingdom during the colder months.
Plan Your United Kingdom Holiday
This country's unpredictable weather makes it difficult to forecast the best time to look for flight deals to the United Kingdom; however, April, early June, September and October generally offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Let airberlin provide a smooth start to your adventure.

The environmental effects wreaked on the ecosystem are still unknown after a somewhat pale Tanning Mom aka Patricia Krentcil attempted to bronze her luscious droopy topless flesh, balloon knot belly button and tatted up vadge in an unfortunate silver bikini on a quarantined New Jersey beach yesterday.
Since getting off the hook for allegedly bringing her 5-year-old into a tanning booth, Patty -- who says she's 45 years old -- is now choosing to shrivel up like a raisin with the help of the natural sun.
To avoid damage, protective eyewear should be worn at all times.

It's easier said than done to look, well, undone. But Paris-based blogger Jeanne Damas knows exactly how to achieve that style in outfits that are chic and polished without trying too hard. Even if you don't understand the language of love--Damas' blog is written entirely in her native French--you'll find that her imagery alone provides an endless stream of inspiration. She's also a model by day, so you'll not only find outfit photos, but also peeks at recent ad campaigns she's appeared in and other snapshots of her fashionably full life!While Damas isn't one to follow fleeting trends, her look is indisputably modern. Her sensibilities lean toward the cool and casual; after all, a number of her ensembles incorporate some kind of denim piece. But she adds a little flair to each outfit, whether through a brightly colored scarf, a pair of glamorous yellow heels, or a standout shaggy coat. Topped off with her signature beauty look--slightly messy, bed-head hair and fresh-faced makeup--Damas pulls off a totally original style.
Read on to learn how to get Damas' look, and make sure to check out our exclusive Q&A with the stunning model-slash-blogger today!--Tiffany Tse

Q&A with Jeanne Damas
Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
I would say my style is sensual effortless.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
As I'm living in Paris, the city of fashion, in every district you come across women styled with a natural elegance that only belongs to French ladies. It's an amazing source of fashion inspiration, better than any magazine.
List some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them/how you are wearing them.
Isabel Marant is my day-to-day style because she understood since she started how women like to be in their clothes everyday. It's cool without doing too much. Acne is my favorite brand for jeans and jackets. Always the right cut. Surface to Air for the cool winter shoes.
Who are some of your style icons and why?
Jane Birkin and her daughters, Charlotte and Lou. They have an amazing sense of fashion; though they are family, each one has her own style. My style is a mix of theirs: rock for Lou, simple for Charlotte, and sexy '60s for Jane.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
I will never grow tired of my pair of Isabel Marant boots that I have in several colors and that I can wear no matter the season.
What are some of your favorite places to shop?
Merci, a concept store near my home, always has a very good selection. For a shopping day with friends, I would choose Le Marais district because all my favorite brands have a shop there (Acne, Vanessa Bruno, Surface to Air, A.P.C., Isabel Marant).
What are some of your fashion sites/blogs?

The ABB Group in New Berlin has started manufacturing a product, the Terra 51, that can fully recharge electric cars in as little as 15 minutes.
The Zurich-based power and automation technology company has a large global presence, with about 140,000 employees worldwide, 500 of them in Wisconsin. ABB's New Berlin branch also makes motor drives used for pumping and fan applications.
The Terra 51 is a DC fast charger the company has had success with in Europe. The company's 100,000-square-foot New Berlin facility will lead U.S. sales and manufacturing for the product.
"The impact of the electric vehicle program is bringing on about 20 additional employees at this time," said Jeff Theys, North American operations manager for electric vehicle charging.
There are three levels of charging for electric vehicles, Theys said. The lowest level, 120 volts, comes with the vehicle and is meant for overnight charging at home. Level two takes about six hours, and is for the office. The top level is DC fast charging, which takes 15 to 30 minutes with ABB's stations.
"You pull in your car and it's almost comparable to a filling station," Theys said. The average person spends 12 minutes at a gas station, he said.
Competitors for electric vehicle charging stations include Seimens, Eaton and GE.
The quicker charge requires a lot of energy and special installation, so it is only being targeted to commercial filling stations at the moment, said Ken Graber, marketing and communications manager for ABB.
The company is taking preliminary orders for the Terra 51 and plans to start production July 1.

A capacity crowd attendes the SEUEPA annual banquet in the Fairgrounds Event Center.
The Southeastern Utah Energy Producers Association conferred lifetime achievement awards Thursday on David Zaccaria of Tram Electric and on Harmond Electric, founded by the late George Harmond Sr.
The plaques were presented at the association's eighth annual banquet in the Fairgrounds Event Center.
Zaccaria, who started a small after-market remanufacturing shop in 1981, was honored not only for service to the energy industry but for his humanitarian and philanthropic contributions to the community. Tram Electric's growth in clients and product lines over the decades led to several relocations to accommodate more machines and employees. The company now occupies a 44,650 square-foot building on almost six acres on Airport Road in Price.
In accepting the award, thanked his family and employees for the success - and he also paid tribute to "Harmond University," where he had worked before starting out on his own.
There were others in the audience who shared the experience of working for Harmond Electric early in their careers. The company was launched as a part-time venture in the late 1950s by George Harmond and Dominic Bruno. Harmond quit work at the old Kaiser Steel coal mine in 1961 to pursue full time work at his own shop.
The company grew from a handful of employees working in a backyard shed into an interstate mine electrical equipment service and sales organization. The business has since been sold, becoming Electrical Contractors and Baker Mine Service.
Judge George Harmond Jr. and his sister Linda accepted the award.
Entertainment for the evening was provided by country-western singer Michael Martin Murphey.

Mucositis is inflammation inside the mouth and throat that can lead to painful ulcers and mouth sores. It occurs in up to 40% of people receiving chemotherapy. In addition to chemotherapy, radiation therapy to the head and neck area may cause mucositis. In people who have received a bone marrow/stem cell transplant, mucositis is a possible sign of bone marrow/stem cell transplant graft-versus-host disease, which occurs when the donated blood cells recognize the patient's body as foreign and attack it.
Relieving side effects, also called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care, is an important part of cancer care and treatment. Talk with your health care team about any mucositis symptoms you may experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
Managing mucositis
The best way to manage mucositis is to prevent it before it starts or to treat it early. Sucking on ice chips immediately before and during each chemotherapy treatment may prevent mucositis caused by certain types of chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil (5-FU, Adrucil) injections. If mucositis occurs, your doctor may recommend a local anesthetic, such as a mouthwash solution that contains lidocaine (sometimes called magic mud, magic mouthwash, or triple mix) or analgesics (drugs, such as acetaminophen [Tylenol], or prescription pain medication). Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, it is important to avoid taking aspirin during cancer treatment. Other drugs to prevent and treat mucositis are currently under investigation.
It is also wise to take special care of your mouth during cancer treatment. The following suggestions may help:
- Brush your teeth gently with fluoride toothpaste several times a day. Sometimes if the mucositis is severe, a toothette can be used instead of a toothbrush. A toothette is essentially a sponge on a stick.
- Floss gently.
- Rinse or gargle with a solution of saltwater and baking soda (1/2 teaspoon of salt plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water), and avoid mouth rinses that have alcohol in them.
- Minimize the time that you wear your dentures. Avoid wearing them at night, and consider removing them between meals to help minimize irritation.
- Choose foods that require little or no chewing.
- Avoid acidic, spicy, salty, coarse, and dry foods.
People receiving radiation therapy to the head and neck should see an oncologic dentist (a dentist with experience treating people with head and neck cancer) before beginning treatment. Because radiation therapy can cause tooth decay, damaged teeth may need to be removed. Often, tooth decay can be prevented with proper treatment from a dentist before beginning radiation therapy. Learn more about dental and oral health during cancer treatment.

Roasted Blueberry Ice Cream and Corn Cookie Sandwiches
You'll have to excuse me for keeping it short today, but I am in Seattle visiting my family and there are babies to snuggle and blackberries to pick and let's not forget about the chickens that need to be chased around the yard. So, I am going to leave you this week with a real whiz bang recipe for glorious ice cream sandwiches packed full of summer flavors.
They are the sweet and salty marriage of cookies that taste intensely of warm buttered corn and tangy ice cream full of pure blueberry flavor. I know cookies that taste like corn might sound a little strange, but they are crazy delicious and they stay soft enough to bite through even when frozen, making them perfect for ice cream sandwiches.
If you'd like to follow my adventures in Seattle this week I'll be posting away on instagram @apt2bbakingco. I'd love to see you over there!
Roasted Blueberry Ice Cream and Corn Cookie Sandwiches
I won't lie, both of these recipes are a bit labor intensive and they both have a lot of ingredients, but they are equally good on their own as they are together so if you don't feel like going all the way just make the cookies or the ice cream and enjoy them on their own.
Corn Cookies
adapted from Momofuku Milk Bar
yield 13-15 large cookies, 24-30 small cookies
I don't like to play favorites in the kitchen, but these cookies are a huge hit every time I make them, so I make them a lot :) Freeze dried corn can be found at most natural markets, look for the brand called "Just Corn". If you live in NYC you can buy the freeze dried corn powder at Momofuku Milk Bar.
225 grams/ 16 tablespoons softened butter
300 grams/ 1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
225 grams/ 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
45 grams/ 1/4 cup corn flour (not cornstarch)
65 grams/ 2/3c freeze dried corn powder
3 grams/ 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 grams or 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 grams kosher salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons
1. Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream on medium-high for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg and beat for 7-8 minutes. The mixture will be very light in color and very light and fluffy.
2. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour, corn flour, corn powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined.
3. For large cookies, use a 2 3/4 ounce scoop (about 1/3 cup) to measure portions of dough and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. For ice cream sandwich sized cookies (2-3'') like the ones pictured, I use a small scoop of dough (about 2 tablespoons). Pat the tops of the cookies flat and wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap. Chill at least one hour before baking (I like to let them sit overnight). Do not bake the cookies from room temperature.
4. To bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350º.
5. Arrange the chilled dough on baking sheets a minimum of 4 inches apart (for large cookies) or 2 inches (for small cookies). Slide into the oven and bake for 18 minutes (for large cookies) or 13-15 minutes (for small cookies). The cookies should be very light brown around the edges and still bright yellow in the centers when done. Cool completely on the baking sheet and transfer to an airtight container for storage. These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days and in the freezer for 1 month.
Roasted Blueberry Buttermilk Ice Cream
adapted from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
I've made quite a few of Jeni's ice creams and they have all been killer. The recipe is a bit complicated and you will have to dirty quite a few dishes to put it together, but don't let that hold you back. You will be rewarded with smooth, creamy ice cream packed full of blueberry flavor.
For the Roasted Blueberries
1 pint blueberries
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 375º
Combine the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in an 8'' baking pan. Roast for 8-10 minutes or until the blueberries are just softened and releasing their juices. Let the berries cool for a few minutes, then puree them in a blender or food processor. Measure 1/2 cup of puree that will be used in the ice cream and reserve the rest for another use.
For the Ice Cream Base
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons corn starch or tapioca starch
2 ounces softened cream cheese
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1. Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth slurry. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream cheese and salt until smooth.
2. Combine the remaining milk, cream, sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan (at least 4 quarts). Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium high heat and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture.
3. Bring the mixture back to a boil and cook, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
4. Gradually whisk the hot mixture into the cream cheese and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in the reserved blueberry puree and buttermilk. Chill the mixture over an ice bath (or in the refrigerator for a few hours) until completely cold.
5. Pour the base into the canister and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Spoon the mixture into a storage container and dollop a few tablespoons of the reserved roasted blueberry puree on top. Gently swirl it into the base, cover the container with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
To Assemble the Sandwiches
yield 12 sandwiches
24 Small Corn Cookies
Roasted Blueberry Ice Cream, slightly softened
Arrange 12 corn cookies, flat sides up on a baking sheet. Top each cookie with a scoop of ice cream and top with another corn cookie, flat side down and push down gently. Cover the baking sheet with plastic and freeze until firm, 30-60 minutes.

We add blueberries to our batter for corn muffins and cornbread all the time! Fold them in frozen and at the very last minute, to keep the color from spreading.Delete
The cookie sandwiches look delicious and your visit sounds absolutely dreamy. Gah, what I would do to go blueberry picking now! Enjoy enjoy enjoy! xoReplyDelete
These sound amazing, but dang, where am I going to find dehydrated corn powder?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Diane, try looking at natural markets like Whole Foods for a product called "Just Corn" you can also find it easily online. Happy Baking!Delete
I'm on the hunt for this product too, and I found they also should have it at some outdoor stores like REI. My While Foods was out, so the search continues! There are some brands on Amazon also, which I've found a good place to get stuff like this.Delete
Oh I love the flavor combo! I've been craving an ice cream sandwich these last few days of summer. Have fun with the family!ReplyDelete
Hi Yossy,ReplyDelete

It's free to submit, free to join, and a lot of members can enjoy your creation!
Love! These look incredible. Last week I was trying to do the reverse - corn ice cream with some kind of blueberry cookie/cobbler/tart, but it just wasn't working. Your way is much better. ;)ReplyDelete
Yossy, these are stunning.ReplyDelete
Beautiful beautiful sandwiches! And absolutely worth the effort - homemade ice cream and lovely soft, freezable cookies are the best.ReplyDelete
Hey! I am really very interested in one thing, could you please tell us where you grew up?ReplyDelete
My main dude just found me some freeze-dried corn at Target, of all places. Archer Farms brand, in the soup section (in Philadelphia anyway). It comes in 2.5-ounce affordable bags, which is only very slightly more than needed for this recipe, so a good purchase for those who don't want to buy large quantities online! SO excited to finally try this recipe.ReplyDelete

By C.J. MCMANUSSports reporter
Carbon Dino wrestling coach Dave Smith is very proud of his team this year.
And he has a right to be.
The Carbon Dino wrestlers took home the gold at last weekends Carbon Duels, a meet in which they have often not been the top team.
"This is our most dominating performance ever at this tournament," said Carbon wrestling coach Dave Smith. "Our kids performed far better than I had any right to expect this early in the season. I am proud to be their coach."
The only team that even really challenged the home team was 2-A standout Duchesne who fell to Carbon in the championship match 47 to 24.
According to Smith the Dino's owe there stand out victory to the conditioning obtained by two-a-day practices.
"We lost very few close matches all tournament long and that is a testament to the shape these kids are in," stated Smith.
First place Carbon wrestlers included Neco Velasquez, Tyson Herrick, Tanner Herrick, Michael Tryon, Davy Cox, Patrick Strey, Jay Workman and Brandon Branch.
Second Place grapplers included Kenny Davis, Preston Lodeserto, Wes Hunsaker and James McKendrick. Third placers were Alex Collins and Marcus Rowley. In Fourth place from Carbon was Colton Martinez, Branden Watkins, Steven Scow, Justin Procarione, Matt Salas and Lance Deeter.
Most outstanding wrestler for the tournament came down to a tie between Tyson and Tanner Herrick of Carbon and Aaron Butler of Monticello.
Carbon traveled to Emery Wednesday night to battle for the "an ax." According to Smith the winner of the Carbon-Emery wrestling duel will receive an ax to place in their trophy case for the year.
The ax is meant to give to life to the Carbon-Emery rivalry.

A St. Lawrence County man was convicted in federal court this week on two felony counts of falsifying records while working as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer agent at the Alexandria Bay Port of Entry.
Todd Tyo, 48, of Heuvelton, was indicted and arrested in October 2011 on accusations that he embezzled more than $1,000 from March to August of that year while inspecting commercial trucks coming into the United States from Canada.
Following a six-day trial at U.S. District Court in Utica, Mr. Tyo was found guilty of making false entries in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection cash register computer. He was acquitted of other charges alleging that he stole money collected as payments by truck drivers, and of obstruction of justice in connection with investigation into the alleged thefts.
The jury did find that on April 13, 2011 and July 14, 2011, Mr. Tyo created false no sale entries in the register system to conceal payments received from truck drivers.
Contacted Friday, a U.S. Attorneys Office spokesman in Syracuse said he did not have information about how much cash was involved in those two transactions. A 15-year veteran, Mr. Tyo was placed on administrative leave in August 2011. He remains on indefinite unpaid suspension pending sentencing and administrative review, Customs and Border Protection public affairs liaison Thomas Rusert confirmed Friday.
Mr. Tyo faces up to five years imprisonment, a fine of up to $250,000, a three year period of supervised release and a special assessment of $100 on each count of conviction, the U.S. Attorneys Office said.
Sentencing is set for May 10.
