no location based reminders for delegated tasks?
Asked on Aug 28, 2014 - 11:45 UTC
I just tried to add a location based reminder for a task I gave to a friend, so when she gets here the reminder pops up. But it seems that this is not possible. Why not? She uses an Android phone and it should be no problem to send her coordinates with the task.

Hello Thomas,
That's indeed not available right now, but we'll consider adding such option in future updates.

Cavendish lands first overall stage race win at Ster ZLM Toer
"Watch out for him at Olympics!" says Jens Voigt
Previous News
Next News
Team Sky's Mark Cavendish won his first stage race overall title in the Netherlands yesterday when he held on to the leader jersey in the Ster ZLM Toer. Cavendish beat second-placed Lars Boom (Rabobank) by eight seconds, but, unusually, did not win any stages on the way to the overall.
"I've been second a couple of times in the past but this is my first GC win and I'm really, really happy with it," Cavendish told TeamSky.com.
"The team rode so well yesterday, setting such a high tempo on the front that guys were going out the back all day. We were down to just 25 at the finish - it was incredible and I'm really proud of what we did.
"In today's final stage there was a dangerous guy up the road in the break at just one minute back on the GC but we managed to bring it all back together.
It all augurs well for Cavendish's two big challenges of the season, the Tour de France and the Olympics. "I'm training really well. I wanted to be in my best form and definitely am so I'm looking forward to France now and hopefully Team Sky getting the green and yellow jerseys.
"It's pretty much about relaxing now and really looking after myself these next two weeks. You've got to start the Tour de France as fresh as possible - especially so this year with the Olympics so soon after."
Team Sky sports director Steven de Jongh said: "It's a first stage-race win for Mark and he's pretty happy with it; I think there should be more in the future too.
"The guys had another good day – they controlled it throughout for the jersey. Rabobank helped out too as did Argos-Shimano later on.
"The whole team has done really well this weekend and there have been plenty of other plus points. For example, Alex Dowsett is getting better every day as he works his way back to top form after his injury so it's been a productive week."
De Jongh wasn't the only one impressed with Cavendish's ride. RadioShack rider and living legend Jens Voigt observed him up close on the third stage where he stamped his authority on the day's hardest climb.
The following morning, Voigt took to Twitter to tell the story: "We are on the famous "la redoute" climb and 2 of my teammates just attacked and went off the front. Of course some counterattacks behind... I try to keep them in check and it's pretty sticky already, and there is 5 riders just ahead of me, and then I look to side and guess what???
"I see the world champion Marc Cavendish in his yellow jersey shifting 2 gears bigger and just jumping to the counterattack, totally easy!!!
"I could see how Cav thought "I know I am supposed to be a sprinter, but i dont care!!" And he crossed the hilltop in first place. I mean the biggest names in cycling used to fight and suffer with this hard and famous climb and then Cav comes along.
"Cav totally made this climb his bi..atch, I was sooo totally impressed to eyewitness that!! He is a champ, and watch out for him at Olympics!"

pretty much all you need, I have same setup but with a squat rack and a couple other goodies, nice smile btw :)
Those people in "The Lottery" sound like the same astute crowd as in Mark Twain's "War Prayer".
I didn't even notice the smile until you mentioned it haha
anyone else dread rest days?
What's with the fancy pants jumping box?
I have a 2" dowel that I pile bumper plates on to make a ''box''. That left more money for... bumper plates!
Other than that, this is clearly a man after my own heart. (But where's the rope?)
I weighed aprox. 200lbs in April. I now weigh 181lbs. I am eating better, and crossfitting again. I have been stuck at 181 for a couple of weeks now. What can I do to overcome this weight loss stopage? Should I worry more about body fat? I am 29 and 69" I want to get to 170. Thanks for the feed back.
Awesome picture!! Very creative, props to whoever did it
Great WOD and nice to see two posts about other passions in my life, the fiddle and literature!
missed that it was a rest day, my computer is doubling up windows on me. I see Fridays post below as I write this.
"The Lottery" was a disturbing read. I guess for rest day it does make you think. Sweat the small stuff video was really good, I like his quote"every corporation needs a Chief Detail Officer".
yeah...can anyone explain the lottery?
Definitely do not understand the relevance of the lottery.

Slow down brother. Relax and enjoy :-)
good to have a rest
Much needed rest day! :)
... one way to look at Jackson's short story is to think about how we automatically and arbitrarily pick a scapegoat for any misfortune that befalls us ... anyone other than ourselves, of course.
First Wendell Berry and now Shirley Jackson! I love CF.com!
God bless the rest day. I got my tail kicked yesterday by doing bars dips instead of push ups. EGAD.
Remember "The Lottery" as a classic required high school (1960's) reading. The moral or underlying theme of the story poignantly underscores how we as groups of people within our own little societies persist in our blind allegiance to outmoded and often destructive practices all the while clinging to the belief that some how by sacrificing the random individual we are contributing to the so-called greater good.
i.e., and acceptable casualty level.
Doing the CFE 4X300 All Out Sprint
Anyone know what the wallball / pullup wod was in the Canadian regional? They didn't say the reps, was it 21-15-9 or something else? Would like to try it and compare my time.

Yo Dean. . .
What's that Bear Complex again? Was 95/75 the RX'd weight?
I am very sore from the last several days of workouts. I am very happy with the progress that I have made in the last several months. I am performing more pullups in a row...I am lighter...etc.
It seems that Coach Glassman and the Crossfit team have stumbled into an area of "Chief Detail Officer". Weights can have a good cost at the beginning. Yet, over time, the benefits of the weight training far overcome the initial cost of the equipment.
The same can be said for proper diet. Spinach (not one of my favorite snacks) costs about 50 cents a can. This stuff is incredibly balanced nutritionally...So, I think that this is one of the items that can do quite a bit of good for you.
What is in the fourth quadrant? Coaches, teachers, gurus, etc. Coaches like Mike Burgener, Louie Simmons, Coach Glassman, etc...do not really cost all that much money. Yet, the coaches, teachers, gurus, etc. all do an incredible world of good.
Thanks, Coach Glassman!
BTW - background music on the Canada Day 2??? Good stuff. I would like to look it up. Would someone please post the group and song?
"The Lottery" - some people are saying that they do not get the point.
What type of society do you want to live in? In the 70's, there was a movie called Logan's Run. The society had formed a means of population control by giving everyone in the society the same amount of time to live. No exceptions.
This society had found a similar means of population control of stoning a person to death by the use of the Lottery in the local township.
With the way that the population is going up (+6 billion people) and resources possibly becoming more scarce, several wonder what means will be used? Will soceities/countries choose to become like China with one child per household? If you have not read about the effects of that experiment, look into it.
Lauren and Coach found an interesting short story and wanted us to think about it a bit.
When I first saw it, I thought that it was the prelude to a new documentary film, called "The Lottery" coincidentally enough. It is about a school in New York City that allows students to be enrolled by a lottery system. The ACORN group and others deem it unfair. Yet, testing would also be seen as unfair.
Take it easy, verybody. I am definitely resting and in recovery!
@ #5
"anyone else dread rest days?"
I do take advantage of the rest day; but at 4:45pm, I sit at my computer and impatiently wait for tomorrow's WOD.
Thank you Coach G.
Nooo... Didn't do rest day and hurt my knee!!! Warning to all. Do not take a rest day and risk the CF gods taking their wrath out on you...
To catch up, I did both the deadlift wod and the pullup/pushup/squat wod yesterday...so today is a much needed rest day--my legs are killing me.

I read "The Lottery" in my first year of university. One of the best short stories I've ever read.
Reminds me of the Monkey Story...
The Monkey Story
The experiment involved 5 monkeys, a cage, a banana, a ladder and, crucially, a water hose.
The 5 monkeys would be locked in a cage, after which a banana was hung from the ceiling with, fortunately for the monkeys (or so it seemed…), a ladder placed right underneath it.
Of course, immediately, one of the monkeys would race towards the ladder, intending to climb it and grab the banana. However, as soon as he would start to climb, the sadist (euphemistically called "scientist") would spray the monkey with ice-cold water. In addition, however, he would also spray the other four monkeys…
When a second monkey was about to climb the ladder, the sadist would, again, spray the monkey with ice-cold water, and apply the same treatment to its four fellow inmates; likewise for the third climber and, if they were particularly persistent (or dumb), the fourth one. Then they would have learned their lesson: they were not going to climb the ladder again – banana or no banana.
In order to gain further pleasure or, I guess, prolong the experiment, the sadist outside the cage would then replace one of the monkeys with a new one. As can be expected, the new guy would spot the banana, think "why don't these idiots go get it?!" and start climbing the ladder. Then, however, it got interesting: the other four monkeys, familiar with the cold-water treatment, would run towards the new guy – and beat him up. The new guy, blissfully unaware of the cold-water history, would get the message: no climbing up the ladder in this cage – banana or no banana.
When the beast outside the cage would replace a second monkey with a new one, the events would repeat themselves – monkey runs towards the ladder; other monkeys beat him up; new monkey does not attempt to climb again – with one notable detail: the first new monkey, who had never received the cold-water treatment himself (and didn't even know anything about it), would, with equal vigour and enthusiasm, join in the beating of the new guy on the block.
When the researcher replaced a third monkey, the same thing happened; likewise for the fourth until, eventually, all the monkeys had been replaced and none of the ones in the cage had any experience or knowledge of the cold-water treatment.
Then, a new monkey was introduced into the cage. It ran toward the ladder only to get beaten up by the others. Yet, this monkey turned around and asked "why do you beat me up when I try to get the banana?" The other four monkeys stopped, looked at each other slightly puzzled and, finally, shrugged their shoulders: "Don't know. But that's the way we do things around here"…
had to act out 'The Lottery' in high school ..*shudder* that story is messed ... lol

Exercising with Arthritis
Arthritis can be crippling since even the slightest movement can cause pain. However, this should not prevent you from being physcally active, fit and healthy. Exercise can still be done even by people inflicted with arthritis. Here are some tips on exercising with arthritis.
First and foremost, consult your doctor or physical therapist before starting a exercise program. They can assess whether a certain exercise program can benefit your situation or do more harm than good. They can also recommend exercise routines for stretching and strenthening specific muscles of the body. A personalized and specialized exercise program can not only increase your mobility and range of motion but it can also help you prevent arthritis to occur on you unaffected joints.
Lossen up your muscles before every exercise session. Some prefer a warm bath or shower while others apply ice to the affected joints before exercising. Choose the option that best suits your needs.
Opt for low-impact exercises over rigorous exercise routines that strains your joints and muscles. Some low impact activities to consider include low-impact aerobics, walking, swimming and biking.
Schedule exercise half an hour after taking your medicine. This is the optimal time to do physical activity since the medicine is on full effect. Remember not to increase your intake of pain medication to counteract the pain you're going to feel. When pain strikes, it is best to stop because this is the sign that your exercise is worsening the situation.

Remember Me
The sixties hit Alabama in the seventies and left poignant memories in Grayson's brain. The weekends are what stick with him the most. "There was an array of eccentrics, channeling Cannery Row or Greenwich Village, coming in and out of my life at this time. They were writers, painters, musicians, vagrants and ne'er do wells reciting poetry, philosophizing, singing, dancing and drinking. I remember a man named Fred Stokes who used to come by with his old beat up Martin guitar, and he and a man named Bobby Long and my daddy would sit in front of a Realistic tape recorder drinking and smoking and singing, trying to get a perfect recording, in three part harmony of Glen Campbell's hit 'Break My Mind' or a number of other songs, without laughing before the end," remembers Grayson. "Fred had a beautiful baritone voice that melded with the strings of that old guitar, Bobby had a high almost pretty voice, and my daddy had a full mid-ranged voice. Then out of nowhere Bobby would stand up and recite the 'Love Song of J. Alfred Proofrock,' or something, accentuate the ending with his glass of vodka and orange juice and sit back down. The entertainment was theater, 'life is a cabaret.'"
Grayson and his family moved to Fairhope, Alabama when he was in the seventh grade. There he got involved with acting, literally, and earned a partial scholarship to Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. At Tulane he majored in theater, studying primarily acting and graduated in 1989 with a BFA. While studying in New Orleans, he started playing guitar with bass player-grad student Pete Ficht and drummer-fellow acting student Sterling Roig. They formed a band called the House Levellers, calling their music "thrash-folk." Within a year after their graduation, they got signed by Tipitina's record label in New Orleans. "We bought a 1977 Plymouth Voyager van and toured America for three years non-stop. We were on the cover of USA Today, we were in Sassy Magazine, we were opening up for Crowded House, we were becoming famous," remembers Grayson. "Most of the time we slept on people's floors or in the van, barely able to afford gas to get to the next gig. We were theater majors acting like musicians. Tensions arose from too much junk food, too much time on the road and climaxed in a huge blowout in Charleston, West Virginia, I quit. I was twenty-two going on fifty."
Later that year, Grayson's friends, John Lawrence and John Dawson, discovered a stretch of houses on the railroad tracks off Tchoupitoulas St. in New Orleans. The street was called South Front St., a Cannery Row incarnate. A man named Allen Crane was the landlord. He was a one-legged man who drove a rusted out station wagon, who went bankrupt and died soon after the trio moved in. There were two shotgun doubles next to one another that he owned. After his death no one claimed the buildings, so Grayson and company stayed there rent free for a couple of years. They played music on the streets for food and ran extension cords to Dawson's shotgun for electricity. They tapped illegally into the water main to have running water. They had illegal gas and a wood burning stove for heat in the wintertime.
Grayson and Lawrence began writing songs together, and soon started a band called, Stavin' Chain. In Stavin' Chain, Grayson was the singer-rhythm guitar player, and John Lawrence was the lead guitar player. They'd hire rhythm sections. The music was slide driven roots-rock, and the lyrics revolved around characters full of desperation, nicotine, loneliness and alcohol. As Grayson remembers: "One night after a show at the Maple Leaf Bar, two young women introduced themselves to us: Shainee Gabel and Kristin Hahn. They were filming a documentary called Anthem and wanted us to provide music for them, saying that we embodied an honest form of Americana they wanted portrayed in their film. They used five of our songs in Anthem. We went to L.A. and New York to promote the movie's debut."
Around the same time, Staivin' Chain were opening for bands like the Wallflowers, Koko Taylor, and Jeff Buckley. One evening at Tipitina's while the Rolling Stones were in town, Ron Wood sat in for a twenty minute version of "Hideaway," while Mick Jagger sat at the bar drinking water. Success was sneaking up like cigarette smoke from an ashtray. They got signed to Ruf Records out of Germany, putting out a CD distributed by Polygram Records. Their rhythm section had played on the Stones' record Bridges to Babylon and in Keith Richards' band the Ex-pensive Winos. They had international distribution and a full page ad in the Village Voice. Wall of Sound Magazine called the record "the best 1999 album you never heard of." They toured the U.S. and Europe, but just as success seemed inevitable, Polygram merged with Universal and dropped the band. Their record label bankrupt, Grayson's girlfriend pregnant, and S. Front St. far away, the world as reality check 101 was closing in like an old tube TV turning off. The band broke up.
"I remember asking Shainee what she was going to do after Anthem played itself out. She said she wanted to write and direct a film based in New Orleans," states Grayson. "I told her about a book my daddy wrote (which is based on Bobby Long and Fred Stokes) that had never been published and takes place in New Orleans, and I gave it to her." Shainee fell in love with the story and wrote a screen play based on it. As soon as the film came to fruition, she was back asking Grayson to help with the music. This was 1997-98 or so. In June 2003, Shainee calls and says the movie is being filmed in New Orleans in July and asks Grayson to be in the movie. John Travolta would be playing Bobby Long and Scarlet Johanson is playing the girl.
"A Love Song For Bobby Long" was filmed from late July through August. Grayson taught John Travolta songs he remembered Fred Stokes singing with Bobby Long and his daddy back in his youth. The film is named after a song he wrote in defense of Bobby. In fact, it features six of Grayson's songs. The set for the film was a recreation of South Front St. The movie made its debut in December 2004 with national distribution following in January 2005.
To further add to an already mythical story, an A&R rep from HYENA Records, an acclaimed New York City-based independent record label with a roster that includes Dr. John, James Blood Ulmer, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet, wandered into a local New Orleans' record shop, Louisiana Music Factory, in July 2004. He was immediately drawn to a compelling album cover. It was the recently self-released solo album by Grayson Capps selling on consignment. The record was purchased out of sheer curiosity, but the music discovered on the disc was another story altogether. Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Trina Shoemaker (who was also his girlfriend and mother of his second child) the music was one part J.J. Cale, one part Steve Earle, a little bit of Tom Waits and a whole lot of pure grease and soul. HYENA contacted Grayson sight unseen and a deal was made. The power of music works in mysterious ways. In the summer of 2005, Capps' first ever nationally available solo album, If You Knew My Mind, was released.
And then the storm came. Shortly thereafter the release of If You Knew My Mind, Capps was driven from his home in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina--where he'd lived for the past 20 years. No small tragedy to absorb and deal with, Grayson responded stoically by keeping a stiff upper lip and his eye on the road. During this period of time he toured incessantly, including an appearance at Bonnaroo and two European tours. He even found time to record his follow up album, Wail & Ride. On the recording, he addresses the Katrina experience with the poignant song, "New Orleans Waltz." Other stand-out tracks include the black water, back-country blues of "Wail & Ride," the bayou-funk, second-line rumble of "Poison," the country & western gem "Jukebox" (which could have come straight from the pen of Hank Williams) and perhaps his most exquisite piece of songwriting yet, "Daddy's Eyes." Once again produced by Trina Shoemaker and being released on HYENA Records, it's the next chapter in Grayson's story. Art is life, life is art.
Grayson Capps writes songs which have the voice of dead prophets masquerading as town drunks screaming "look at us we're pretty, too!" He's been playing guitar and singing for nearly twenty-five years now. He's played theaters, festivals, radio shows, T.V. shows, whiskey-beer crusted barrooms, living rooms, and camp fires. Some people call him a preacher, others a poet, a singer, a guitar player, a redneck, but he declares: "I am only an actor strutting and fretting across the stage. I still have to use a shovel. I still have to dig in the dirt. But, I tell you what, I have beautiful children named Sadie and Waylon, a new house in Franklin, TN and my second solo record coming out in the autumn. Bobby and Fred are dead, but my father is alive and well in Alabama about to publish his second novel. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but songs are still sung by those who continue to sing."

UFC lightweight Jim Miller (17-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) goes for his fifth straight victory, and Gleison Tibau (21-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC) goes for his fifth win in six fights when the pair meets this fall.
A source close to the event told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) at least one fighter has agreed to the bout, though the individual fighters' camps did not immediately return messages requesting comment.
Although initially reported as taking place at UFC on Versus 2 on Aug. 1, MMAjunkie.com has since learned the fight could take place later in the year, possibly in September as part of a UFC Fight Night or pay-per-view event.
While many look at champ Frankie Edgar and contenders B.J. Penn, Kenny Florian and Gray Maynard as the elite of the UFC's 155-pound class, Miller is nipping at their heels. The former IFL lightweight champion has won 12 of his past 13 fights, and during his current streak, he's topped Mac Danzig, Steve Lopez, Duane "Bang" Ludwig and Mark Bocek.
Miller's only career losses have come to Edgar (at a 2006 Reality Fighting show) and Maynard (at UFC 96).
Both losses came via decision.
Like Miller, Tibau is also closing in on a potential title shot. After back-to-back losses to Tyson Griffin and Joe Stevenson in 2008, the American Top Team fighter has won four of five fights, which includes recent back-to-back victories over Josh Neer (decision) and Caol Uno (TKO). The lone loss came to Melvin Guillard in a close split-decision loss that MMAjunkie.com scored in Tibau's favor.
Miller (wrestling) and Tibau (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) are both well-rounded fighters with strong ground games. Of their combined 38 career wins, half (19) have come via submission.
For the more on the UFC's upcoming schedule, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.
(Pictured: Jim Miller)
(UPDATED: On 5/3/10 at 5:45 p.m. ET. Although initially reported as taking place at UFC on Versus 1, the fight could take place later in the year, possibly in September, additional sources have told MMAjunkie.com.)

Right now, Kendall Square's reputation - as a center for local high-tech and bio-tech industries - lacks the sexy allure needed to entice us there for frequent after-work play dates.

Helping spark the transformation is Catalyst (300 Technology Square, Cambridge), a restaurant from chef William Kovel (formerly of Aujourd'hui and now at 28 Degrees). Slated to open this summer, Catalyst will serve French-influenced American cuisine inside a warm, modern environment boasting reclaimed wood, natural hues, a fireplace, and a trellised patio. Meanwhile, Gary Strack, the chef-owner behind Central Kitchen, will soon open Firebrand Saints (1 Broadway, Cambridge), serving up rotisserie options and sandwiches in a space featuring high-tech interior design (think light bulbs that resemble light sabers). That seems appropriate, since Saints leases from MIT, an institution that's banking on Kendall's future: it has launched a multi-million-dollar campaign that may create and renovate thousands of square feet of retail space, transforming the square into a destination for dining and shopping over the next decade. But there's still more to expect in the short term, too: this spring will see the opening of Area Four (500 Technology Square, Cambridge), which will emphasize small plates and gourmet wood-fired pizzas and also feature an adjoining coffee shop. (It's from Michael Leviton and Michael Krupp, the same team behind Persephone, the restaurant component of the sadly shuttered Achilles Project.) And Meadhall (4 Cambridge Center, Cambridge) will offer upscale fare in a former bookstore space. (RIP, Quantum.) Sounds like Kendall could start a new chapter as a dining destination.

All right, Timberwolves fans. Today is the day you've been waiting for. Yes, finally, today is the day that you can watch your favorite team on NBA TV at 3pm CST as they take on the Miami Heat (3-2). Like the Timberwolves, the Heat are coming off of a close loss on Sunday night to the Hawks. However, they're not the ones coming off of a back-to-back– that's the Timberwolves.
As for names to watch on the Heat Myck Kabongo was a draft pick in last month's draft. You may also recognize forward Jarvis Varnando from such things as garbage time. Other than that, Anthony Marshall has played well at times, too.
The Timberwolves will be hoping to see Shabazz Muhammad strike that perfect balance between attacker and facilitator. Gorgui Dieng will look to have a better game than he did yesterday and it would be nice to see Chris Johnson utilized in ways that get him more involved in the offense. Demetri McCamey played well, which was fun, but the Timberwolves will be looking to see more from Lorenzo Brown and Brandon Paul continue to make their case to hang around.
You cannot forget about Robbie Hummel, either. He's been by far the team's most steady and productive player this summer league season, and you would love to see him continue to succeed in the hopes of hanging around with the Timberwolves next season.
Well it's almost that time: time to get ready to head down to COX Pavilion to get ready for today's tilt. Be sure to follow the @howlintwolf account or my account (@DerekJamesNBA) on Twitter as I'll be live-tweeting from media row.

This was really good but I would have enjoyed it much more if there were lines showing the trajectory of the arrows (kind of like a laser sight), you may think this would make the game too easy but it can be easily balanced by increasing enemies health and damage.
that's pretty much the only issue for me, nice game!

DVD releases for Jan. 11, 2012
Buy it
Director Bennett Miller ("Capote") knocks it out of the park with the engaging "Moneyball" (Sony Pictures, $24.99/DVD, $32.99/Blu-ray SRP, PG-13), a true life tale based on Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), who teamed up with a young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Jonah Hill) to develop a sabermetric approach to assembling a competitive baseball team. While the numbers helped create a winning team, this film is anything but by-the-numbers, delivering a compelling story with fantastic acting and top-notch directing. Easily one of the best films of 2011, "Moneyball" is a must-own film that slides home with some fun special features which includes deleted scenes, bloopers, and several featurettes. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christ Pratt and Robin Wright help fill out the roster in this fascinating and fun film.
A refreshingly old-school action flick with plenty of explosions, gunfights and stunts, the take-no-prisoners "Sinners and Saints" (Anchor Bay, $23.98/DVD, $31.98/Blu-ray SRP, R) finds its strongest asset in its taut and intelligently-written screenplay from Jay Moses and director/co-writer William Kaufman (who helmed 2005's brilliant "The Prodigy" and last year's fun Cuba Gooding Jr.-starring "The Hit List"). Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, "Sinners and Saints" tells the story of Detective Sean Reilly (Johnny Strong) as he attempts to cope with the death of his young son and the abandonment of his wife. He soon uncovers a shocking military conspiracy that triggers a war between local gangs and an international team of mercenaries that threatens to destroy the city. Sounds fun, huh? Now check out this cast: Kevin Phillips, Costas Mandylor, Sean Patrick Flanery, legendary UFC Champion Bas Rutten, hip-hop superstar Clifford "Method Man" Smith, Kim Coates, Louis Mandylor, Jolene Blalock and Tom Berenger. How could you not wanna pick this one up? Lock and load, folks, because "Sinners and Saints" is the gritty, action-packed thriller you've been waiting for.
Rent it
While it's no "Sinners and Saints," there's still a lot of fun to be had with "Killer Elite" (Universal Studios, $24.99/DVD, $32.99/Blu-ray SRP, R), a globe-spanning international thriller starring Jason Statham and Robert De Niro as contract killers who must face off against the smooth-talking leader of a secret military society (the always cool and collected Clive Owen). When De Niro's grizzled veteran Hunter gets kidnapped, it's up to Statham's ex-special service Danny to rescue him while playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with international baddies all over the world. Locations in Australia, Paris, London and the Middle East are cleverly utilized by director Gary McKendry in this fast-paced but slightly underwhelming action thriller that is supposedly based on a true story. Special features include deleted and extended scenes.
A silly but worthwhile romantic comedy, "What's Your Number?" (20th Century Fox, $24.99/DVD, $32.99/Blu-ray SRP, R) stars Anna Faris as Ally Darling, a woman who begins to believe that her Mr. Right may be one of her former beau's and sets out to reconnect with the men from her past. In order to track down her many exes, she enlists the help of her neighbor, Colin (Chris Evans), a womanizing playboy who begins to fall for Ally. As predictable as it is, "What's Your Number?" is funny enough to warrant a rental as it delivers more than its share of genuine laughs. It certainly doesn't hurt that SNL's Andy Samberg practically steals the show as one of Ally's former lovers, a ventriloquist who is more wooden than his puppets. Bonus features include extended flashback dates, deleted scenes and a gag reel.
Skip it
The popular "The Mummy" series spawned the not-quite-as-popular "Scorpion King" series, which now produces the highly unnecessary sequel "The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption" (Universal Pictures, $24.99/DVD, $32.99/Blu-ray SRP, PG-13), a terribly written, horribly performed and stunningly awful film that follows former king and assassin-for-hire Mathayus (Victor Webster in the role once filled by Duane "The Rock" Johnson and, later, Michael Copon) as he defends a kingdom from an evil tyrant and his ghost warriors for the chance to regain the throne. Ron Perlman and Billy Zane, obviously appearing in this dreck for a paycheck only, are both wasted here. Where it actually fits into "The Mummy" film canon is beyond me, but I'll try to work it out: this is a sequel to a prequel ("The Scorpion King") which was a prequel itself to "The Mummy Returns," the sequel to "The Mummy" (which was a remake anyway), but was preceded by another prequel ("The Scorpion King 2") numerically numbered as a sequel to the original prequel that this film is the sequel of. Got that? No? That's ok. This is just a bad movie with hardly any redeeming value and not worth putting that much thought into.

The View From Planet Kerth: Watching my wake to see where I'm going
I suppose today you'd be considered a bad parent — maybe even a criminal — if you let your 12-year-old son hop into a leaky rowboat on a rustic lake and oar his way out of sight right at daybreak, knowing that you wouldn't see him again until suppertime.
Still, that was how I was raised whenever my family took our once-yearly trip up to Lake Nicaboyne in northern Wisconsin. And I can't imagine living a life that hasn't been anchored in such adventure and trust.
Dad always rented a boat to hang his green 5-horse Johnson motor on, and he puttered onto the lake at least once a day for some serious fishing. He usually let me come along if I wanted to, and I was glad to go along with him.
But it was hard for me to resist my solitary odysseys in my own leaky boat. And so if he wanted to sleep a little later or if the weather looked a bit too drizzly for him to venture forth, I didn't mind.
I would save up my allowance all year long to be able to rent my own boat, which I think came at the princely sum of $5 a week. The paint on the old oars was cracked and chipped so badly that the sodden wood would double its weight by the time I reached the far end of the lake.
The boat, too, would gain sloshing tonnage as I rowed. It had a slatted wooden platform at the bottom, and that would keep my feet dry as long as the water never got deeper than a couple inches, when it became necessary to pull up onto the little rocky island at the far end of the lake to bail it out with a dented Maxwell House coffee can.
Still, wet feet were no concern to a young Odysseus facing the trials that a northern Wisconsin lake might toss in his way.
I would usually troll along the shore, hoping to pick up a bass near the lily pads in front of the lodge, or maybe a northern pike along the gravel point near the far end of the lake.
But the far shore a mile away was my true destination, for it was there that I might turn off into the big, weedy bay and be truly out of sight from the cabin, just in case Mom or Dad were keeping tabs.
The bay ended in a floating peat bog, where, if I dared to get out of the boat, I might walk in a magical land that was neither earth nor water. The peat grew so densely there, small tamarack trees sprouted and grew to 20 feet or so, a sparse forest rising from the muskeg.
But under the peat was water, so the land undulated as I walked. The tamaracks swayed like metronomes with the vibrations of my footsteps, and if I wasn't careful where I stepped, my foot might break through the peat. I would sink to my hips, with my feet dangling in cool, black water that never reached bottom. I always ventured out onto the bog barefoot, ever since the first year when I took an ill-advised step and the peat swallowed one of my black Converse sneakers.
It was here that the loons nested, and they protected their young fiercely. A curious young Odysseus might find himself assailed by gabbling harpies if he strayed too close to the new chicks, too fluffy and buoyant to dive to safety.
It was here, too, that the bullfrogs, turtles and water snakes basked in the sun, and no adventure could be considered a success until at least one of each had been captured, studied and released back into the water.
Along the way, there were other less-welcome captures as well, and every day ended with a careful search behind ears and between toes for ticks and leeches that had decided to spend the day on an adventure of their own.
But that was a long time ago. It has been a half-century and more since I sat in that rowboat, oaring my way backwards across a lake, watching the familiar shoreline from which I departed shrink in the distance.
Still, sometimes I like to sit for a quiet moment and remember those days when I was 12 years old and master of my own leaky boat, striking off backwards on my solitary odyssey across a lake with my wake spreading out behind me like parentheses around my past, and adventure waiting for me at the far end of the lake.
Trusting my blind course toward an unseen future.
Watching my past recede.
Then — as now — the best way to travel is to watch your wake to judge if your ongoing course has been true.

Tom Ryan's artwork showcased the West
Ex-Stamford resident died on Saturday
Former fellow townspeople remember Tom Ryan as an artist with a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of the contemporary cowboy and for his contribution to the artistic life of Stamford.
Ryan, a Stamford resident from 1973 to 1982, died Saturday in Arizona. Funeral arrangements were pending Sunday evening at the Kinney-Underwood Funeral Home in Stamford.
During his Stamford years, Ryan was a driving force in founding the Western art show held at the same time as the annual Texas Cowboy Reunion around the Fourth of July.
"Tom Ryan was one of those who had a particularly unique way of capturing the spirit of the West, and the area that the Texas Cowboy Reunion was known for," said former U.S. Rep. Charlie Stenholm, now of Granbury and Washington, D.C.
Stenholm's observation dovetails with the observation of art historian Susan Hallsten McGarry, who in her 2001 book about Ryan describes him as "one of the nation's master painters of cowboy culture."
Ryan, the first art director of the show, said Stamford resident Ann Kinney, was very pleasant to work with.
"He was very friendly he was always very considerate," Kinney said.
The annual event draws Western artists to exhibit their paintings and to put them on sale, said Gary Mathis, longtime president of the cowboy reunion. A preview party on the eve of the reunion draws prospective bidders to look over the paintings, he said.
The cowboy reunion honored Ryan's contributions by naming him parade marshal at a reunion years after the artist left Stamford.
Ryan moved to Stamford from Lubbock in 1973, to be closer to the 6666 Ranch in King County. The famed spread, often referred to as the Four Sixes, provided the inspiration and the experiences that shaped his career as a Western artist.
He moved to Midland in 1982 to be close to an airport that made it handier for him to travel to exhibitions and other events around the country. In 2002 he moved to Scottsale, Ariz., to live closer to family members.
Born in Springfield, Ill., Ryan grew up there and attended prep school in Wisconsin, and studied art in St. Louis, Chicago and New York.
His studies were sandwiched around service with the Coast Guard in the western Pacific.
He worked as a commercial artist for several years, illustrating the covers of many paperback novels, before discovering his life work in visiting the 6666 Ranch.
"I fell in love with the 6666 Ranch," Ryan was once quoted. "I also, from that time on, dropped my historical work — the old-time trail drive, the Indian paintings, the buffalo paintings."
From his observations and photography taken on that ranch, Ryan created the Western artwork that earned him numerous honors. These include the past presidency of the Cowboy Artists of America in Kerrville: 1968 Gold Medal for his oil painting "Patching His Saddle," at the CAA Exhibition at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame; and a lifetime achievement award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Perhaps the signature work of his life was "Sharing an Apple," a painting of a cowboy standing by his saddled horse, feeding it a quarter of an apple with his right hand while holding the rest of the fruit in his left.
A classic Western landscape that includes two other cowboys in the deep background frames the picture.
Prints of "Sharing an Apple" and other Ryan works can be purchased from several online locations.
The original of the painting is on permanent display at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
Ryan's mural of a remuda graces the western facade of the museum. A remuda is a herd of horses from which ranch hands select their mounts.
Tom Ryan was one of those who had a particularly unique way of capturing the spirit of the West."

-- The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Civic Chorale
will present "Music for the Fun of It - Ditties, Dessert, and
Denim" next month at the Gulf Park campus in Long Beach.
The performance,
sprinkled with pithy lines and humorous lyrics, begins at 3 p.m.
on May 4 in the Hardy Hall Auditorium.
The Civic Chorale
will perform funny choir pieces ranging from Haydn's Admonition
to PDQ Bach's Oedipus Tex.
the chorale will entertain you with ditties, dessert, (coffee) and
denim," said Joanne Edwards, chorale director. "The high
point will be the performance of PDQ Bach's Oedipus Tex. You'll
find yourself laughing at the antics of Oedipus Tex."
The influence
of ancient Greek drama pervades this dramatic oratorio, which was
written for solo horn, four soloists and chorus.
It is purported
that the manuscript of the prototypically Western work was found
by PDQ Bach by chance during a visit to San Antonio's Alamo, according
to Edwards. Supposedly, Davy Crockett had the manuscript sewn into
his shirt to serve as a bullet-proof vest. Of course, it is left
up to the listener to believe or disbelieve this story, Edwards
The cost of
the show will be $5 per person. To go along with the coffeehouse
atmosphere and theme, attire will be blue jeans.

-- Award-winning wildlife photographer Tom Ulrich will lead
two photographic events at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory on
Wednesday, March 10.
He will present
a nature photography workshop from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and then
a talk and slide show called "Wildlife Images 2003" at
7 p.m., both at The University of Southern Mississippi GCRL.
Admission to
the evening event is free and will be held in the Caylor Auditorium
at GCRL. The veteran photographer will feature photos from his 2003
photographic safaris abroad and in North America. He will answer
questions and sign his books during the reception following his
slide show.
The registration
fee for the all-day workshop is $50 per person, payable to GCRL.
Registration includes a continental breakfast, light lunch and snacks.
Participation is limited to 20. Though the workshop is geared toward
beginners, Ulrich tailors the experience to meet needs for all degrees
of skill.
"The beginners
will definitely benefit from the workshop, but I always help the
more advanced get something out of it also," Ulrich said. "I
lead many photo trips and always find a wide range of levels."
Ulrich said
participants do not need to bring their photographic equipment unless
they need an explanation about some aspect of their equipment.
Topics include
a brief review of the principles of photography, relationships between
shutter and aperture settings, fundamental elements of composition,
use and timing of fill-in flash, digital versus film photography,
techniques of close-up photography, and a brief discussion of slide
etiquette, the photography business and marketing.
Ulrich grew
up in South Chicago, graduated with a degree in biology from Southern
Illinois University and taught for four years before launching his
career as a freelance photographer. He has supported himself with
nature photography for the past 29 years.
His library
of more than 300,000 transparencies includes birds and mammals from
all over the world. His photographs have been featured in publications
such as National Wildlife, Audubon, National Geographic, Montana
Outdoors and Life.
He has published
six nature books, including Mammals of the Rockies, Birds of the
Northern Rockies, Once Upon a Frame and his 2002 release, Photo
Pantanal. Dr. William E. Hawkins, GCRL executive director, said
Ulrich brings the scientific and artistic worlds together.

Amy Davidson wonders when it will come:
One would think that, at a certain point, there would be a real confrontation within the Republican Party about this—one that goes beyond its libertarian wing's impatience with the subject. Do you want children to grow up in a home with married parents? Do you want adults who live together to make a binding commitment, one that helps weave them into their community? Are your party's candidates and alleged intellectuals turning out books complaining about the absence of both of the above, books with titles like "It Takes a Family"? Would you like to help plan, attend, and dance at the wedding of your daughter, nephew, brother—or your own marriage?
All of these people exist; so do their children. A wedding ring is the symbol of a transformative legal act, but it is not the sort of magic ring that conjures people out of nowhere or, pulled off, makes them invisible.

If someone had entered, in some mythical headline generator, all the key ingredients to produce the perfect mashup of utter racist nonsense from recent American history, this might be it.
The police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., a year ago launched the Black Lives Matter movement. But officer-involved shootings seem only to have accelerated.
When death occurs at police hands, the easiest story line is "white cops versus black kids," but it's much more complicated. "Manifest Justice," a Los Angeles event that included Trayvon Martin's mother, looked at the issue.
Although Attorney General Eric Holder sounded a conciliatory note in making the announcement, it was his disheartening task on Tuesday to go public with the news that the Justice Department was closing the book on the highly charged Trayvon Martin case.
The second and third times I fell in love with black bodies I became a black body, in a way I'd say without shame and some humor, for mine is dark tan called white. But I am the carrier, I am the body who carried them, released on a river of blood.
It appears that pointing is now a serious offense in the state of Minnesota.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, a member of the jury that acquitted George Zimmerman says the "law couldn't prove" he was guilty, but that she believes the neighborhood watch captain "got away with murder" in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

America has become amnesiac—a country in which forms of historical, political, and moral forgetting are not only willfully practiced but celebrated.
White House/Pete Souza
Sometimes it's good to be proved wrong. Last week, I wrote a column doubting that President Obama could speak powerfully and effectively about the racial issues raised by the Trayvon Martin case. Well, the president did just that.
A look at the day's political happenings, including Massachusetts Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey speak up about "stand your ground" laws in the wake of George Zimmerman's acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin and an embattled aide to Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul resigns.

A grim tale in which a racist Southern community seeks revenge for the stabbing of a white man, written before the cherished author penned "Catch-22," is set to be published by the American literary magazine The Strand this week.
Dr. Cornel West, professor at Union Theological Seminary and African-American author and activist, Monday examined the remarks President Obama had made Friday when he compared himself to Trayvon Martin, the black teen gunned down in February.
Why, Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker wonders, do we only have our famous conversations about race and fear "when things go terribly wrong"? Why, he wants to know, was it impossible for George Zimmerman to look upon Trayvon Martin "as someone he could have a conversation with"?
AP/Dave Martin
Demonstrators in more than 100 U.S. cities from Los Angeles to New York gathered outside federal courthouses Saturday to press the Justice Department to file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman one week after a jury found him not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
AP/Wilfredo Lee
Read along as I list the abundance of "little things" that made the killing of Trayvon Martin, and that of innumerable young men like him, both possible and defensible in a court of law. They are the daily corrosions through which the micro-degradations of racism and white supremacy eat away at our lives.
We should talk honestly about unresolved racial issues, such as those exposed by the Trayvon Martin case, but President Obama is not the best person to lead the discussion. Through no fault of his own, he might be the worst.
Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other "Left, Right & Center" panelists discuss the Motor City's declaration of bankruptcy, the neighborhood watch captain's not guilty verdict and Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone.
President Obama made an unexpected appearance in the White House briefing room Friday to share his thoughts on the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin.

The Band Perry will cover the funeral expenses for Nikki Watson and her eight children who died in a house fire in Muhlenberg, Kentucky last Thursday, reports WLKY, confirmed by Calvary Baptist Church Pastor Tim Burden. A gathering was held in the Central City church Friday night to mourn the tragic loss and pray for the father, Chad, and his 11 year old daughter Kiley who survived the fire.
While candles were lit and songs were sung, a cousin of the Watson family thanked those gathered for their support. He also updated the mourners on the condition of Chad and Kylie, saying that Chad is in very critical condition while Kylie woke up briefly on Friday and asked if she and her father were the only ones that survived. The vigil lasted about 30 minutes.
The fire was caused by a baseboard heater. According to Kentucky State Police, Nikki Watson and the eight children who were killed all died of smoke inhalation. Police also said they were all found in the master bedroom, an indication they were trying to escape through a window.
Calvary Baptist Church, where the vigil was held, is the same church where Nikki and Chad Watson met, fell in love, got married and brought their family every Sunday for worship.

Tell President Obama: Stop Offshore Drilling and Demand a Clean Energy Future
The Deepwater Horizon disaster left a devastating legacy in the Gulf of Mexico. This latest explosion and fire on an offshore rig near Vermilion Bay, LA, is further evidence that offshore drilling rigs are dangerous for humans and marine ecosystems.
This underscores the need for the U.S. to maintain its moratorium on all new offshore oil and gas drilling. It's another reminder that drilling accidents happen all too frequently. We cannot afford to lose any more human lives, nor can we tolerate further damage to the gulf and its irreplaceable ocean ecosystems.
The Gulf Coast economy is suffering, and endangered sea turtles, dolphins and other marine mammals continue to turn up dead on beaches.
The only way to prevent these disasters from happening again is by ending all offshore drilling. A clean energy future is possible, but we need your help.
Offshore drilling will NEVER be safe. Sign the petition to end offshore drilling now.
With thousands of gallons a day gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, this disaster is an unfortunate but perfect example of the hazards of offshore drilling. It won't lower the price at the pump or make us energy independent but it will devastate the Gulf ecosystem and threaten the livelihoods of coastal communities.
The Gulf of Mexico is home to many endangered animals, including the world's most endangered sea turtle, Kemp's Ridley. At this very moment, the oil slick is oozing towards Kemp's Ridleys' nesting beaches, threatening dolphins, sharks, whales, and other animals along the way. Once it reaches the shoreline, the so called "black gold" doesn't stop. The Gulf area has about 5 million acres of wetlands, a stopover for 75% of all North American migrating water birds.
President Obama, please ban offshore drilling and end all planned drilling and exploration.

?Gumpop? creator Ted Lee Nathanson organized the dozen-member collective of comic artists last year. (By John Rott, The Courier-Journal)
More fanciful than fearsome, Gumpop straddles tall buildings, outwits villains and rescues kittens - all with a head covered in bubblegum.
He's a mix of archetypal comic-book action with a healthy dose of modern-art whimsy, and he's elusive, as superheroes tend to be. Elusive from his enemies and also elusive from comic readers, because Louisville doesn't have a scene for independent, locally produced comic books.

Catholic school enrollment continues to fall in US
Catholic World News - April 05, 2013
The number of students enrolled in Catholic primary and secondary schools in the United States has fallen by 1.5% in the past year to 2,001,740, according to data released by the National Catholic Education Association.
More than 5.2 million students were enrolled in Catholic schools in the early 1960s, with 2,647,301 enrolled in 2000.
148 Catholic schools have closed or consolidated in the past year, while 28 have opened. There are now 6,685 Catholic schools, down from almost 13,000 in the early 1960s and 8,146 in 2000.
The average parish school tuition is now $3,673, while the average high school tuition for a freshman is $9,622.
75% of teachers in Catholic schools are laywomen, 22% are laymen, 2% are sisters, and 1% are priests, deacons, or brothers.

"...like watching a car wreck in slow motion." So true. Pulling kids because the cost is so high - absolutely - and because the faith is less important in our daily lives. But the practical reality prevails when responsibility to ones family outweighs any individual expense. The answer is not in bringing back the "old ... orders". The answer is re-educating / Catechizing our families. But how? Accept a generation or two is lost? The practical cost still is a reality. How, how?

As a Catholic school teacher, I've seen so many parents having to pull their students because of money and I couldn't afford to send my own children to a Catholic school. Teachers, at best, only make 80% of what their public school counterparts make. Most bishops seem to only give lip-service to Catholic education when it is about the only way to ensure a laity that knows the Faith. CCD programs won't (and don't) hack it - I had to redo much of what they "taught" my kids.

We send 3 children to Catholic schools. In the last 3 years, my salary has gone up 3%, but my net hasn't changed due to increased health-care premiums. Meanwhile, tuition has gone up 5% to 6% each year. Gasoline prices have doubled in the last 10 years. The math says more people are going to opt out of the system. Combine that with minimal teaching of a "soft" Catholicism, and we have inexpensive private schools for a shrinking upper middle class. It's like watching a car wreck in slow motion.

Primary repair of anal sphincter injury with both the approximation and overlap repair techniques seem to be associated with reduced risk of fecal urgency, incontinence score and deterioration of anal continence. Further trials of appropriate size are required to assess the efficacy and safety of the two techniques when used at different level of health care.
RHL Commentary by Quijano C
This Cochrane review (1) includes three trials with a total of 279 women. There were variations in the trials in terms of primary and secondary outcome measures and follow-up periods. One trial compared two suture materials in addition to the two tissue repair techniques (2). In all studies, ultrasonography and manometry were used after anal sphincter repair to evaluate sphincter function, but the interval between repair and evaluation was different in each study.
The authors conclude that primary repair with both the approximation and overlap repair techniques seem to be associated with reduced risk of fecal urgency, incontinence score and deterioration of anal continence. They stress that the results are based on a small number of women, and the available data are not enough to recommend one method of repair over the other. Also, it is highlighted that the experience of the surgeon is a very important factor in evaluating the effectiveness of the techniques.
The reviewers used sound methods to find and select the trials, collect and analyse the data, and present the findings in text and graphics.
2.1. Magnitude of the problem
Obstetric anal sphincter injury should be corrected appropriately in the immediate postpartum period since its consequences (faecal incontinence) become more severe with the passing of time. The true incidence of such injuries in under-resourced settings is not known. In the international literature the figures vary from 0.5% to 17% (3–5). Factors related to the physician, the patient and the health-care setting sometimes contribute to the problem. For example, physicians may not inform the patients about the injuries due to fear of litigation. On the other hand, women may consider the signs and symptoms of incontinence as normal (3, 6–11), or may not come from treatment due to embarrassment.
2.2. Applicability of the results
In under-resourced settings a physician with experience in anal sphincter repair may not be readily available. Also, proper sphincter repair requires good instruments, lighting and suture material, and these may not be easily available in under-resourced settings, limiting the applicability of the results.
2.3. Implementation of the intervention
The methods analysed are feasible and desirable for use in any setting that meets the conditions mentioned in the above section. While it is important to repair anal sphincter injury promptly, it is equally important to use antibiotics and laxatives to prevent infection and treat postpartum constipation, respectively, for a minimum of 30 days.
Trials of appropriate size are required to assess the efficacy and safety of the two methods when used at different level of health care. The trials should not only compare the two techniques, but also the suitability of suture materials (polydioxanone versus polyglactin) for the concerned tissues. There should preferably be standard intervals between repair and follow up. More research is also required to identify the most appropriate quality-of-life scoring systems related to incontinence.
