|The Game Story:
|Wingate, N.C.----Wingate University senior attack Greg Williams (Woodbridge, Va.) posted a career-best six goals as the Bulldogs won their third game in their last four tries, a 17-8 NCAA Division II men�s lacrosse decision over previously undefeated Pfeiffer University Wednesday afternoon at Irwin Belk Stadium and John R. Martin Field on the Wingate campus.
With the victory, Wingate improves to 3-5 overall. Pfeiffer is 6-1 overall. The Bulldogs host number four Merrimack (Mass.) College Saturday at 2 p.m. The Falcons return home Wednesday, March 25, entertaining Conference Carolinas foe St. Andrews Presbyterian College at 4 p.m.
Williams contributed four goals to a 9-0 flurry that turned a 7-4 Wingate lead late in the second quarter into a 16-4 advantage early in the fourth quarter. Fittingly, Williams scored the last two goals of the run. Williams has a team-best 20 goals this season.
The Bulldogs led 2-0 after the first quarter, thanks to back-to-back goals by redshirt junior attack Angus Derbyshire (Thurmont, Md.). Pfeiffer junior attack Shawn Cross (Cranberry Township, Pa.) got the Falcons on the board at the 10:40 mark of the second period.
Wingate answered with a 3-0 run, concluded by a Williams goal with 6:39 remaining in the second frame. Williams� first goal of the contest gave the Bulldogs a 5-1 advantage. Pfeiffer responded with goals by junior attack Chadwick Olsen (Great Mills, Md.) and senior attack Kevin Anderson (Altamonte Springs, Fla.), but the Falcons would get no closer.
The Bulldogs took advantage of every break, as the hosts converted three-of-three extra-man opportunities. The Falcons capitalized on two-of-five EMO chances. Both teams took 28 shots each; Wingate held a slight 37-34 edge in ground balls.
Eight student-athletes scored goals for the victorious Bulldogs. Derbyshire and redshirt senior midfielder Mark Hodsdon (Hilton Head, S.C.) were two of four Wingate players with two goals each. The reigning Deep South Conference Offensive Player of the Week, Hodsdon added a team-best three assists Wednesday.
Cross, Olsen and Anderson had two goals each for the Falcons. Anderson was one of four Pfeiffer players with an assist Wednesday. Anderson is the current Conference Carolinas Offensive Player of the Week. Cross and Olsen have 21 goals each this season.
Wingate freshman goalie Danny Dlugozima (Wesley Chapel, Fla.) earned his second victory in as many starts, recording 10 saves. He allowed eight goals and faced 28 shots while going the distance. Pfeiffer junior netminder Jimmy Dyches (Abingdon, Md.) took the loss. In 39-plus minutes, Dyches gave up 12 goals. He notched three saves.
NOTES: The contest was originally scheduled for Pfeiffer�s lacrosse facility, but wet field conditions necessitated the venue change. A live pay-per-view video stream will be available for the Wingate versus Merrimack game Saturday. The Wingate University Sports Network will provide the live pay-per-view video stream in cooperation with Internet Consulting Services, Inc. (ICS).

Celebrity fashion lines: Justin Timberlake
It's been a while since Justin came with a new project. The singer launched his last single at the beginning of the year, but it seems that his acting career is going much better. And the 29 years old singer is also going to launch a new fashion collection.
Well, in fact Justin is improving his own fashion line, William Rast, created in collaboration with his childhood friend, Trace Ayala, by getting a whole new view. The two are going to partnership with Target in this fashion project. Target has had some interesting partnerships with famous designers, such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Zac Posen or Proenza Schouler. These collaborations have given Target a certain prestige when it comes to fashion industry and from this point of view, Justin isn't mistaken.
The new line will be launched this year, in December, and it will be available in stores for about a month. As usual, the pieces contained in Justin's fashion collection will include denim, outerwear and sportswear for both men and women. As you can imagine, the collection includes casual clothing with numerous jeans and leather jackets.
Now, that Justin Timberlake will continue with his fashion project, he can also focus on other domains and this is exactly what the singer does. He will actually receive the main role in the thriller "I'm Mortal", movie that will be launched in 2011. Directed by Andrew Niccol, the movie producer that also worked at "The Truman Show ", the much expected thriller has a huge budget.
So, in the last months, Justin seems to be focusing a lot on his acting career. Although the "I'm Mortal" project is probably the most important role for the singer, he was also cast in "The Social Network", a movie about the creators of Facebook, the famous socializing network and also in the comedy "Bad Teacher", where he is sharing the screen with his ex-girlfriend, Cameroon Diaz. However, in "I'm Mortal", Justin will be playing his role along Amanda Seyfried, the 25 years old "Mean Girls" actress.
Justin Timberlake became first famous with the boy band 'N Sync, but since then he has come a long way. He managed to won six Grammy awards and one Emmy, which is quite impressive for a 29 years old singer. He started his solo career in 2002 when he released the album "Justified". Four years later he released his second album, "Future Sex/ Love Sounds", and all the three singles contained in it became shortly after launching number ones in the US. Everybody knows SexyBack", "My Love" and "What Goes Around… Comes Around".
When it comes to personal life, Justin most famous relationship was of course the one with Britney Spears. Everyone thought they will always be together and that they will get married. Well, Britney decided that she received all she could get from this relationship and the two broke up after many rumors about Britney's infidelity. Justin dated for a long time Cameroon Diaz, but it looks like she wasn't the one either. But, until Justin announces another romance or until one of his movies' release, what happened to the music? When will he launch another single? Justin definitely has numerous fans all over the world who are waiting for something new in his musical career also.11

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. (WZZM) -- Five people were arrested and arraigned for multiple burglaries across West Michigan.
The suspects are linked to crimes in a total of six counties including Kent, Ottawa, and Allegan counties to name a few.
Police say the five suspects stole more than $60,000 worth of tools and trailers. Some are even linked with an assault case.
John Henry Bedford of Grand Rapids, Brian Joseph McCarthy of Evart, Roberty Edward McCarthy of Reed City, and Lynnwood Allen Whitehead were all charged with felonies. One name hasn't been released yet.
The investigation started in January after an Evart auto shop had $60,000 of tools and equipment stolen. The owner contacted police a week later after noticing some suspicious behavior at a residence.
Troopers approached the men and found most of the stolen property. Several trailers were found and two suspects were also connected with an unrelated assault.
Police are still investigating and more arrests could be coming.

Hi cityy, is there any specific reason as to why you caulk surfaces that aren't visible, is there some sort of performance gain? It just seems like a hassle having to caulk every non-visible surface since texturing an object textures all surfaces by default.
Very helpful video though, thanks for taking the time.

Beta-decay of the neutron into a proton, electron, and antineutrino
is occasionally accompanied by the emission of a photon. Despite decades
of detailed experimental studies of neutron beta-decay, this rare branch
of a fundamental weak decay has never been measured, while it has been
extensively investigated in more exotic systems. An experiment to study
the radiative beta-decay of the neutron is currently being developed for
the NG6 fundamental physics beam line at the NIST Center for Neutron Research.
The experiment will make use of the existing apparatus for the NIST Penning-trap
lifetime experiment, which can provide substantial background reduction
by providing an electron-proton coincidence trigger. Tests and design of
a detector for gamma rays in the 100 keV range are under development. The
need for a large solid-angle gamma ray detector that can operate in a strong
magnetic field and at low temperature has led us to consider scintillating
crystals in conjunction with avalanche photodiodes. The apparatus has been
installed at the the NG6 beam line, and tests have begun. We hope to have
the final photon detector array installed and the entire apparatus taking
data by Spring, 2004.

Microsoft's official enterprise support blog for AD DS and more
Hi, Ned here again. I've been assigned to the Platforms beta team here for the past year. One question I've gotten a zillion times is which versions of Windows Server 2003 can be upgraded to 2008 R2. Our documentation is rather confusing – working on that – but here's a quick explanation. I know this isn't really a Directory Services issues, but I dunno – maybe it's a DC or something. :-)
From our TechNet docs:
Enterprise, Datacenter
Standard, Enterprise
Above seems to imply that you must be running Windows Server 2003 R2. This is not the case – as long as the computer is Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (whether or not the R2 product key and CD2 have been installed), you can upgrade. And as you already know, running Windows Server 2003 SP1 is unsupported anyway.
Here's my proof:
Here's my proof from the setupact.log files that are written into %systemroot%\panther during the upgrade:
Notice how the upgrade doesn't know, care, or distinguish that one is R2 and one is not. It was just '2003 SP2' to the upgrade code…
And of course, it must be a 64-bit copy of Win2003. We don't do upgrades from x86 to x64.
Update September 21, 2009: One of our PM's points out that the upgrade will be blocked from Windows Server 2003 if it's in a cluster - no worries though, there are migration steps and a tool documented on TechNet to swing things over to the new nodes.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in July, following a 0.7-percent increase in June. Small declines in the food and energy indexes offset a small increase in the index for all items less food and energy.
The food index declined 0.3 percent in July, with all six major grocery store food groups posting declines. The energy index, which rose 7.4 percent in June, fell 0.4 percent in July. Decreases in the indexes for gasoline, fuel oil, and electricity more than offset an increase in the index for natural gas.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.1 percent in July, following a 0.2-percent increase in June. The indexes for new vehicles, tobacco, medical care and apparel all continued to increase in July, and the index for airline fares turned up after a long series of declines. In contrast to these increases, the shelter index decreased in July, as the index for lodging away from home fell and the indexes for rent and owners' equivalent rent were unchanged.
Over the last 12 months the CPI-U has fallen 2.1 percent (as shown in the chart). A 28.1-percent decline in the energy index since its July 2008 peak has more than offset increases of 0.9 percent in the food index and 1.5 percent in the index for all items less food and energy.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Consumer Price Index: July 2009" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL 09-0937.

Ways Greg Can Help
Greg Walden announces 2011 Congressional Art Competition for high school students4/13/11
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) today announced that the 2011 Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery, is now open to high school students throughout Oregon's Second Congressional District, which includes central, southern and eastern Oregon. The contest is a nationwide endeavor for students to showcase their artistic abilities while competing for the chance to have their work displayed in the United States Capitol.
"This competition is a tremendous opportunity for young people interested in art, and it gives students the chance to have their work showcased for a national audience," said Walden. "I encourage all high school students with work they would like to share to send it in and be a part of this year's An Artistic Discovery."
To enter the Congressional Art Competition, students must submit no more than two photographs of their work to Walden's office by Monday, May 2, 2011. After artwork is received, one winner will be selected from Oregon's Second Congressional District. A panel of judges will determine the final winners. The overall winner will have his or her artwork sent to Washington, D.C. to be displayed as part of the national student art exhibition in the U.S. Capitol. Four runners up will be invited to have their artwork hung in Walden's Washington, D.C., Medford, Bend and La Grande offices. Artwork will hang in the Capitol and Walden's offices for one year and will be returned at the conclusion of An Artistic Discovery in 2012.
Guidelines and entry forms can be obtained from Congressman Walden's website: http://walden.house.gov/ArtCompetition.
Questions about the competition should be directed to Belinda Scalas in Walden's Medford, Oregon office at (541) 776-4646 or email@example.com. Students may e-mail photos of their artwork by May 2 to Belinda at the above address (jpeg files), or photos of artwork can be sent via U.S. mail to the following address (must be received by May 2):

Houston Ballet performs at the Wortham Center, but it rehearses, trains dancers and stores costumes at its ballet academy on West Gray. It also rents office space in the Wortham.ξ Director C.C. Connor says it's hard to maintain a professional ballet company spread out that way, and they're tired of it.
"We are bursting at the seams in this building. We need more space. We need to expand academy programs.ξ We are very limited in the number of classes we can give in the academy for children and young dancers."ξ
Connor says the building they want will go up in the block across Smith Street from the Wortham Center because the ballet already owns half that block.ξ It'll cost $53 million dollars, which Connor says will come from private donations.
"We are looking for and starting to talk to the major donors in town about funding this project and seeing if we can raise enough funds to make this project a reality."
Connor says these plans are still developing and they haven't set a timetable yet, but they've done feasibility studies that make them feel confident they can raise the money and make it happen.ξξ

The Great War: Darkening Skies
1914 Britain, as the Great War begins the Armstrongs are drawn into the conflict. Thomas (Christian Bale) is the Naval Lieutenant, already a skilled professional at 27, Gunnery officer of the battlecruiser HMS Inflexible. Phillip (Colin Farrell) is the tough as nails hell-raiser who enlists in the Army as a Lieutenant of infantry. George (Hayden Christensen), just out of University, is the bon vivant who joins the Royal Flying Corps. Anne (Claire Danes) is the nurse pledged to ease the suffering of the wars victims. And Richard (Jeremy Irons) is the one-eyed former Brigadier re-called to a position with the General Staff.
As autumn turns to winter and winter to spring it becomes apparent to all that this war will be unlike any other in both scope and carnage. While Thomas chases the elusive Graf von Spee and Germanys crack East Asia Cruiser Squadron across half the world, his father, Richard, settles into his post in London. But Richards strategies are of a different age and ill suited to this new kind of warfare. In Hampshire, Anne sees the bloody harvest of battle as hundreds wounded in the desperate battles against the Huns in France are given over to her care.
As the Allied Powers fall back before the German advance it is the heroism of Phillip and his men that helps stem the tide of German grays rushing headlong toward them, while in his Yank built Curtiss NC-4 flying boat George hunts the elusive U-boats in the Irish Sea that threaten to starve England into submission. Finally catching and destroying the German Squadron after months at sea Thomas expects a return to home waters but HMS Inflexible is diverted to provide supporting fire for the campaign at Gallipoli, where Phillip is fighting for his life against determined Turkish infantry, whose German machine guns turn the beaches, hills and cliffs of Turkey into bloody killing fields that consume men by the thousands.
The five Armstrongs are held together by the bonds of family and a tradition of service that goes back over a thousand years. But will even that sustain them through the firestorm that rages across the globe?
The Great War: The Storm Breaks
1916 Europe, as the war continues the Armstrongs find themselves once more thrust into the forefront of the conflict. After the carnage that was the Gallipoli campaign Commander Thomas Armstrong (Christian Bale) and Captain Phillip Armstrong (Colin Farrell) are hoping for some rest in England only to be thrown into two of the biggest battles of the war.
Thomas is now Inflexibles first officer as she joins the Grand Fleet in the sortie that may well decide the war at sea the Battle of Jutland. In France Phillips company is deployed to the front lines once more for the Somme, a campaign that will forever scar the English psyche.
Lieutenant George Armstrong (Hayden Christensen) is assigned to a fighter squadron but finds the novelty of aerial combat wears off quickly under German fire as he battles the Fokker Scourge in a do-or-die campaign in the skies over France, and romance finds Anne (Claire Danes) in the form of a young Belgian officer (Adrien Brody) wounded in the fighting in Flanders.
Meanwhile in London Major General Richard Armstrong (Jeremy Irons), one of the major planners of the Somme campaign, is faced with a decision that is almost certain to send one of his sons to his grave. But at first Phillip Armstrong seems invulnerable, standing unscathed as all about him German machine guns and artillery turn the ground red with English blood.
Finally after weeks of brutal carnage the advance grinds to a halt and Phillips charmed life comes to a bloody end, sending shockwaves through the Armstrongs that threaten to tear them apart.
The Great War: Final Thunder
1918 Europe, as the war reaches its climax the Armstrongs, still bleeding after the loss of Phillip, must soldier on for the freedom of England. For it is now, at the end, that those in the strongest positions will be able to decide the terms of the peace.
Determined to share the danger alongside the men he commands Richard Armstrong (Jeremy Irons), now a Lieutenant General, leads his divisions in a last ditch attempt to capture a key piece of ground in the Ardennes. In England Anne (Claire Danes) and Major Rene Peugot (Adrien Brody) are wed but as the last push begins their happiness may be short-lived. When Renes battalion is attached to her fathers command Anne cannot help but to recall Phillips death a year earlier.
In the air Captain George Armstrongs (Hayden Christensen) daring has made him a legend but as the best of the Kaisers Air Corps battles to stem the Allied assault he learns that even legends can die when he is shot down, barely surviving a crash behind the Hun lines and is thrown into a POW camp.
At sea Captain Sir Thomas Armstrongs (Christian Bale) cruiser may be all that stands between glorious victory and ignominious defeat as the German High Seas Fleet makes one final sortie and only HMS Defiant is in a position to spread the alarm. But first she must fight her way free of a squadron of fast destroyers that dog her heels. Turning on them, Thomas attacks, gambling that Defiants armor will protect her from the lighter caliber guns of the destroyers while his powerful batteries of 8-inchers sends them to the bottom. The gamble works and Defiant reaches England with mostly superficial damage, alerting the fleet in time to sortie and meet the Germans.
Meanwhile in the Ardennes, when Richards offensive bogs down in the dense woods he strips his divisions of their armor, which he forms into fast cavalry-like troops and sends around the flanks of the German resistance, freeing George from his prison camp in the process. But even as his strategy is proving its worth, his armor is dangerously over-extended and when the Germans mount a counter-attack Richard and his headquarters unit are cut off and surrounded. Richard orders George to fly a wounded Rene out in a captured Fokker D.VII while he and his armored units try to break through the German cordon and re-join his infantry divisions.
Leading from his un-armored touring car, Richards tanks thrust into the German lines forcing a breach. But when a battery of artillery opens up on the tanks with armor-piercing shells he realizes that the slow-moving Mk. Vs will never make it. In a suicide charge he sends his car hurtling across open ground to smash into the center of the Hun artillery, silencing the guns and allowing the armor to complete its breakthrough.
In the air George flies directly to Annes hospital but even as it comes within sight he is set upon by four German fighters. From the ground Anne sees the plane bearing her husband and youngest brother climb back into the clouds hotly pursued by three fighters while the fourth circles ominously below. She cries out in anguish as she realizes that she is about to watch two of the people she loves be killed before her eyes.
But though machine gun fire rips through the fabric of his plane, George Armstrong focuses as he has never done so before. He and the Fokker become welded into a single machine that climbs, dives and slashes through the clouds. Below Anne counts one, two, three DR. Is as they fall, broken, through the clouds. But as George tries once more to land, the remaining triplane jumps onto his tail, firing burst after burst from his guns. As Rene is hit, George puts the plane into a steep dive with the German following close behind. At the last second he pulls up, but the pursuing DR. Is weak 110 hp engine is unable to pull out of the dive and it slams into the French soil as the plane explodes in a ball of fire.
A month later, after laying flowers on Richard and Phillips graves, Thomas, George and Anne visit Rene at a convalescent hospital outside Paris. Suddenly, one after the other, the church bells begin to ring all around them. When Rene asks what has happened they tell him that the Armistice has been signed, the Great War is finally over.

Re: Pitch a Movie
The Last Lawman
In 2037 the world as we knew it came to an end. Society broke down as civilizations thin veneer was stripped away and brother turned against brother until the holocaust had claimed 90% of mankind. In the end those who survived started to rebuild. That was 80 years ago.
The town of Caroline has been under the thumb of the Cord family for as long as most folks can remember. They control everything and do whatever they please with it. Justice under the law was a half-forgotten legend. Until the day Jim Brannock (Will Smith) rode into town wearing a US Marshals star.
Almost from the moment he arrives the battle is joined as Old Man Cord (Gene Hackman), long accustomed to being king of the hill, tries to show Brannock that the law is what he says not some outdated code from another time. Along the way Brannock finds allies in the form of Rachel Hannagan (Halle Berry), whose father was murdered by Elijah Cord (Nicolas Cage), and the good people of Caroline who slowly come to realize that Cords Way isnt the only way anymore.
When the final showdown comes the Cords have the fight of their lives as Brannock leads the charge to take back the town, killing Elijah in the climatic gun battle in the streets and forcing Old Man Cord to cut and run.
Return of the Last Lawman
In a world where radioactive hot spots dot the landscape and virulent plagues still stalk the land, untainted water is the most valuable resource. In sun-blasted Arizona even more so. The town of Holbrook sits in the middle of the Painted Desert and its wells are the only source of pure water in nearly a hundred miles. Unfortunately those wells are under the control Reverend Quint Yancey (Christopher Lee) and his band of fanatics.
When Marshal Jim Brannock (Will Smith) rides into town he is captured by Yanceys men for interfering in their beating of a woman, Angelica Francona (Selma Hayek), trying to get more water for her sick mother. He is beaten badly and ordered into Yanceys gold mines, there to work until he dies. Angelica is ordered to Yanceys bed but she spits in his face, loudly proclaiming shed rather die than be touched by him. The defiance earns her a savage beating before Yancey sends her to the mines as well. But Brannock escapes as theyre being taken to the mines and kills the guards freeing them both. Using the guards clothing, he infiltrates the mines, liberating the miners and then arming them.
Back in town one of the mine guards who had gotten away tells Yancey what has happened. Realizing that the prisoners will come after him in Holbrook, Yancey sets up an ambush. But Brannock is not so easily fooled having first scouted out the town. Using a diversionary attack he draws Yanceys men off, while he then hits the areas that have been left undefended. As his forces drive through toward Yanceys church a second ambush is sprung on them, as snipers open up on them from the upper floor windows. Driven back to a defensive position they hang on, but Brannock knows that they cant remain there for long.
When Yancey arrives on the scene to parlay Brannock sends four Apache prisoners to sneak up on and quietly take out the snipers. While they do their lethal work, Yancey tells Brannock that the diversionary force has been wiped out. He did it with the help of a spy. And out steps Angelica who embraces her lover. Yancey had heard about Brannock from Old Man Cord and when he learned that Brannock was headed this way he set the whole thing up. He just wanted Brannock know what a fool hes been before he dies. Then he orders his men to kill Brannock, but the Apaches have had time to do their work and not a single shot is fired.
As Yancey looks about in panic, mortars whistle in, destroying Yanceys church stronghold. Then Yancey stares at Brannock and screams You, Heretic! How dare defile the House of God!
I didnt, Brannock calmly answers. You did. A long time ago.
Practically foaming at the mouth Yancey orders Angelica to kill the heretic, but she drives a dagger into his chest instead. He crumples to his knees then looks up at the two of them with shock on his face.
Guess she wasnt your bitch after all. Brannock says just before Yancey falls dead at their feet. Then turns to Angelica, Sorry you had to touch him.
It wasnt the first time, she shrugs, or even the fiftieth. You do what you have to do.
Brannock nods, gathers up his own weapons that Yancey had taken, and climbs onto his horse. Ive got business in Denver. You know how to get in touch with me. She smiles and nods. As he starts to ride off she yells out, Thanks, Marshal! He stops and waves back with a smile, then reins the horse around and rides for Denver.

For five years hes traveled across the battered remains of the United States but now Marshal Jim Brannock (Will Smith) is going home. But as he rides into San Angeles he finds that home has changed. Now under the thumb of the ruthless and ambitious Senator Hiram J. McCallum (Kevin Costner) the city reputation for law and order is just a façade that hides a soul that grows more corrupt with each passing day. McCallum hopes to gain the presidency in the 2124 election and hell do anything to make that happen, including taking help from Old Man Cord (Gene Hackman) who has re-built his position of power with a mining operation in the Sierra Nevada mountains where he struck an incredibly rich vein of gold.
As Brannock arrives his homecoming with Deputy Marshal Rita Gibbs (Uma Thurman) is cut short when he is called to answer charges of having over-stepped his authority in Caroline 3 years earlier. In short order Brannock is stripped of his badge, fined and kicked out in the street. But Cord isnt finished with him yet as he has three of his miners pick a fight with the ex-marshal that turns deadly. When two of the miners are killed Brannock is arrested and charged with murder. The trial is a farce as Brannocks plea of self-defense is ignored and McCallums tame jury finds him guilty and sentences him to hang.
Sent to the prison in Alta Loma for execution he falls under the power of the sadistic warden that the prisoners call The Machete (Val Kilmer), who is determined to make Brannocks last days a hell on earth. But at this point Jim Brannock has had just about enough. During a torture session he breaks free, kills The Machete, and shoots his way clear of the prison.
Meeting with Rita he learns that over the last few years every honest marshal has either been fired, killed or imprisoned on trumped up charges and that only the ones who are in McCallums pocket remain. She was the last and they fired her the day after Brannocks trial. Brannock gathers the honest lawmen together and after a stirring speech they fight back taking down McCallum and his corrupt cops in a series of blazing gun battles.
As Brannock and Gibbs break into the senators office where McCallum and Old Man Cord are holed up, Cord gets up and starts to walk past saying Hes all yours Marshal. When ordered to halt Cord smirks, Why? I havent done a single illegal thing. All of my actions have been completely legal according to the laws of the United States. Brannock and Gibbs realize that Cord is right; there is no solid evidence of illegal activity at all.
But McCallum, realizing that Cord intends to leave him to hang, snatches up a pistol and, in a rage, guns Cord down before jumping out the window to a waiting horse and making a dash for freedom. Brannock calmly takes McCallums prized 20th century .460 magnum Weatherby Mk V big game rifle off the wall, loads it, aims and squeezes off a single shot. In a crack of thunder the huge magnum slug, powerful enough to drop a charging rhino at 500 meters, literally tears McCallums head from his body.
As he lowers the rifle, Gibbs remarks Senator, I think youve just been impeached. Brannock slings the rifle over his shoulder before turning to her. Well dont be standing around, Deputy Gibbs. Weve a lot of work to do. As they walk out of McCallums office the camera pulls back and then cuts to black. Roll credits.

Re: Pitch a Movie
Hot Iron
Police Inspectors Larry Gannon (Brad Pitt) and Bruce Parker (Robert Downey Jr.) are not exactly considered Bostons finest. They destroy too many cruisers, shoot up too many neighborhoods and their methods of persuading witnesses to talk have landed them in hot water more than once. Their last case against underworld kingpin Alberto Storella (Al Pacino) was thrown out of court when the judge discovered their evidence was obtained illegally, and now the pair is one step away from an Internal Affairs investigation. But when a crazed lunatic that the press dubs The Pig-eater starts blowing away cops, Chief of Detectives Bernie Eidshide (Ray Liotta) gives Gannon and Parker one last chance.
Tracking their way through a case where no one seems to have seen or heard anything, the pair slowly close in on their quarry. But complicating matters is Gannons ex-wife, Lieutenant Kate Delvecchio (Uma Thurman), who would like nothing more than to see both of them off the force. One evening when Gannon is called in for questioning by Internal Affairs, Parker heads off to question a suspect alone. Following the late night interrogation by a smug Kate, Gannon is ordered suspended from the force for 60 days starting on Friday. The next morning, Parkers body is found dumped in an alley in Chinatown with two .32 slugs in his head. Again, no one has seen anything.
When Kate expresses her sorrow at Parkers murder, Gannon explodes at her If you hadnt been playing your god-damned power games last night, Bruce wouldnt have been alone! He would have had me there to back him up! Theres no way this whack-job would have got to him. Every killing has been a cop who was alone! Thats the sonovabitchs MO!
As he heads out to bring the killer in Kate tries to stop him, without breaking his stride Gannon knocks her cold and continues out the door. Parker was going to question a guy named Ritchie Iron (Billy Bob Thornton) that night, a man that the pair had connected to the murder weapon through a tiny, hole-in-the-wall gun shop that few people have even heard of.
Breaking into Irons apartment Gannon finds evidence that proves Iron is the killer. But Iron returns suddenly and starts shooting. After a brief exchange of gunfire, he bolts. Running like a jackrabbit, Iron leads Gannon through the choked city streets where he doesnt dare fire. Finally while crossing a high school football field Gannon gets a clear shot. The thundering .44 magnum slug sending the killer into a final death-slide on the damp grass.
Back at Police headquarters, Gannon drops his badge and gun on Kates desk. When she tries to talk to him, he ignores her and walks out. Outside, he stands looking at the police memorial as Bruce Parkers name is added to the list of officers who have given their lives to protect others. After a few moments Gannons shoulders slump, he sighs, then turns and walks slowly down the street.
The Law
Its six months after Inspector Larry Gannon (Brad Pitt) lost his badge in the aftermath of the Pig-eater case. Back on the force hes assigned to a special undercover job with Capt. Briggs (Andy Garcia) Organized Crime unit in an attempt to finally take down Mafia Don, Alberto Storella (Al Pacino). Storella has been battling Mickey OBrien for control of Boston for months, and has been slowly taking his rivals organization apart. In his latest actions a Storella gunman killed 5 of OBriens drug trafficers, gunned down at a party. Now Storella aims to move into the vacuum hes created by setting up a new narcotics pipeline with a Turk named Namoe and the two are about to meet for the first time to hammer out the details.
The Org Crime unit intercepts the Turk before he can get off his plane, slipping Gannon in, in his place. Heavily disguised and backed up by his new partner, Inspector Beth Hanna (Eva Mendez), Gannon infiltrates Storellas stronghold in Namoes place. But things fall apart when the digital recorder Gannons carrying malfunctions and begins playing back. Enraged Storella tears off Gannons disguise revealing the face of his most hated enemy. Now at full alert Hanna is also discovered and killed in a gun battle with Storellas men. Gannon is beaten and drugged for several days in a secret room while Briggs and the Org Crime unit search for him.
After almost a week and in a nearly catatonic state Storella sneaks Gannon and Hannas corpse out for a midnight burial at the gravel pits. But Gannon manages to grab his gun away from Storella and orders them to stop the car. While Gannon is distracted fighting Storellas men the boss makes a run for it. Gannon gives chase but is koshed on the head and tumbles to the bottom of the gravel pit. Storella turns the conveyors on and begins filling the pit, then leaves Gannon for dead and returns to the limo. But Gannon manages to claw his way out and again confronts the mobster. Storella snatches up a gun and fires wildly. Gannons .44 thunders once to deadly effect, blowing Storellas head off. Leaving the dead mobsters where they lay Gannon gets into Storellas limo and drives back toward the city.
Deadly Force
A few months after the Storella case Inspector Larry Gannon (Brad Pitt) is back in Capt. Eidshides (Ray Liotta) Homicide division when he is called to investigate a dead body in a car at the municipal dump. The body turns out to that of Narcotics detective Johnny Pappas, shot through the head at long range, on the seat next to him is a brick of heroin taken from the narcotics security vault, still bearing its police ID tag. On a rooftop with a clear view of the dump Gannon finds a spent shell casing.
Back at Police headquarters Eidshide tells Gannon that drugs have been disappearing from the vault for the past several years but Commissioner DeMarco has always ordered it swept under the rug for political reasons, right now the investigation has been put on hold until after the mayoral election. When Gannon expresses his dismay at the political situation he is told that Eidshide is going on with the investigation anyway but it has to be kept quiet. Just two officers, one detective from Homicide and one from Narcotics. Gannon will be half of the team, the other half will be his old friend Detective Sergeant Burt Lucas (Paul Walker), who had transferred from Homicide to Narcotics six months ago. All three men know that they can trust one another but all also realize that even if successful, they could still be fired for going behind DeMarcos back.
Gannon and Lucas meet up and begin the investigation by questioning a known stool pigeon named Little Ricky (Elijah Wood). Although reluctant to cough up any information, Ricky eventually gives the pair a lead on an operator named Santos (James Franco) who works for an independent on the South side.
Eidshide calls the pair in and tells them that Santos prints were found on the shell casing that Gannon discovered on the roof, but Gannon has to admit that he didnt have a search warrant when he searched the roof, thus making the shell casing in-admissible as evidence. Eidshide goes ballistic as he sees their best lead go up in smoke because Gannon didnt follow procedure. Lucas mollifies him with the news about Little Rickys lead, but Eidshide orders the pair to make sure the investigation can hold up in court.
That evening as he returns home Eidshide is severely beaten by a masked assailant who leaves a blood-spattered message to stop the investigation
Tracking Santos down to a cheap dive in the Combat Zone, Bostons notorious red-light district, Lucas questions him at gunpoint until he gives them the information that they want. The hit on Pappas was ordered by a man named Contrez (Emilio Estevez), an independent operator selling narcotics around the citys schoolyards, who also makes kiddie porn. Pappas was his narcotics supplier but when he started to get nervous and threatened to turn states evidence Contrez had Santos kill him. Contrez has already arranged a new inside man at narcotics and so didnt need Pappas anymore. Meanwhile Gannon has a vicious brawl with the masked assailant eventually killing and then unmasking the man who turns out to be Narcotics Detective Lieutenant Falcone, the new inside man.
The next morning Lucas contacts Gannon with the news that reporters have gotten a hold of the story on the killings and Commissioner DeMarcos retribution has swift. Eidshide is being forced to resign and he and Gannon have been demoted to Traffic starting Monday morning. After mulling things over the pair decide to use the time they have left to pressure Contrez into making a bad move.
They manage to invade his mansion, plant a bug, and push him into making a last big score; but they have misjudged his reaction to the confrontation badly. That evening Lucass long time girlfriend is found dead of a massive heroin overdose, and the next morning it is learned that Gannons niece has also been killed in the same way. Lucas goes completely to pieces and quits the force.
Gannon, however, is mad as hell and goes after Contrez at the final score. In a running gunfight among the sand dunes on Cape Cod the two battle it out. Gannon is seriously wounded but manages to kill Contrez in the final confrontation. The narcotics that Contrez has in his possession forces a major, public investigation that brings down the corrupt DeMarco and clears Eidshide, Gannon and Lucas of any wrong-doing.

Re: Pitch a Movie
A dimensional portal opens up and the zombified inhabitants of another earth pour out into the protagonist's earth.
The portal does not last for more than a few hours but it keeps reappearing all over the protagonist's earth thus the zombies can appear anytime and anywhere. You could have a huge mass of zombies, a few zombies or no zombies at all coming out of the portal whenever it appears.
A team of protagonists is selected by the world's governments and is tasked to enter the portal when it appears and find a way to close it permanently from the other side.
During the mission to zombified earth, they find out that, in the final living years of that doomed planet, the survivors tried to create a dimensional portal to another world for the tens of thousands of survivors to find refugee in. The experiment worked partially. They could open the portal but they could not control how long the portal could last and where it appeared. The zombies eventually attacked and overwhelmed the survivors during a portal test. The portal machine was not shut down as a result.
The protagonists come across labs and government offices where the scientists and administrators have left video diaries about the progress of their experiment. The protagonists also get suspicious that they may not be the only living humans on that earth.
The protagonists have to find the testing area where the portal machine was located and find out what happened to the scientists and engineers who worked on that machine and find a way to shut down the portal machine, knowing it could be a one way trip.

An alternative would be a scifi adventure about an FBI agent who encounters an extraterrestrial team of aliens, cyborgs, and droids who have secretly come to earth to track down all sorts of interstellar fugitives. The premise is X Files meets Men in Black, with a serious tone.

Southfield, Mich. - The use of sustainable materials in infrastructure construction will be the topic of an October workshop in Japan led by Lawrence Technological University Professor Nabil Grace.
Grace is the principal investigator of a study entitled "Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Materials for Infrastructure" that he has organized with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University and researchers from Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. He is leading an international team of 15 researchers who will meet for an Oct. 21-22 workshop at the Japanese university.
Funding for the workshop has been approved by the Office of International Science and Engineering at the National Science Foundation (NSF). Grace, who is chair of the Department of Civil Engineering and director of the Center for Innovative Materials Research (CIMR) at Lawrence Tech, has won numerous NSF grants over the past 20 years.
The purpose of the workshop is to develop methods for testing the life cycles of innovative alternative materials such as fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) that can greatly reduce maintenance and increase longevity for bridges and other infrastructure projects.
For several years, Grace has been a leading proponent of using carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) to eliminate the corrosion caused by steel in bridge construction. Preliminary research at CIMR has indicated that bridges built with CFRPs instead of steel can last up to 100 years. These advanced materials currently could add as much as 50 percent to the initial cost of a bridge, but would reduce maintenance and early replacement costs by 200 percent over the increased life span of the bridge.
Grace explained that initial workshop will be held in Japan because of that country's progress in developing sustainable infrastructure. Both the United States and Japan are making rapid technological advances in sustainable materials and both are experiencing rapid growth in infrastructure construction.
According to Grace, transportation officials are recognizing the importance of life cycle assessment (LCA) of materials when making decisions related to new bridge construction, but the assessment process needs to be improved and expanded. LCA has not included a comprehensive set of economic, social and environmental indicators. Grace believes that there is a pressing need for academic LCAs that encompass those factors.
Transportation planners know that FRPs add considerable cost to a project, but they don't have comprehensive research on the resulting savings over the long run.
"Life-cycle assessment will show taxpayers the true benefits derived from investments in bridge infrastructure," Grace said.
Lawrence Technological University, ltu.edu, offers nearly 100 undergraduate, master's and doctoral degree programs in Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Management. Founded in 1932, the 4,500-student, private university pioneered evening classes and today has a growing number of weekend and online programs. Lawrence Tech's 102-acre campus is in Southfield, and programs are also offered in Detroit, Lansing, Petoskey and Traverse City. Lawrence Tech also offers programs with partner universities in Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Midwest Living Review
The Grand Traverse Spa, which opened in 1999, is tasteful and welcoming with a sage green color palette throughout. Piped-in Native American-sounding flute music helps set a relaxing vibe. The massage and hydrotherapy rooms are located on the basement level, and they are appropriately dim, tastefully decorated, and the beds all had candles lit and waiting on them. All of the staff members we encountered were friendly and professional. We'd hope to score a foot massage and ease our aching arches, but couldn't get one because it's not on the spa menu. Our second-choice express pedicure was pricey -- $52 with an included 18 percent gratuity for what amounted to 25 minutes of soaking your feet and getting your toenails painted. But the vibrating roller-back heated chair was a welcome respite after a busy day.

An excited Brown team visited the Carrier Dome Saturday and gave the reigning National Champions a game…. for about a quarter. After jumping out to a quick 3-1 lead capped off with a goal 18 seconds into the second quarter, Brown was subject to Syracuse's heavy offensive pressure which was too much for them to 'bear'.
Syracuse struggled early on with hitting the net on their shots, but once they got comfortable they cruised to an easy win. After only a slim two-goal lead at halftime, Syracuse exploded with 9 goals in the second half. Everyone knew the game was out of reach for Brown when Syracuse scored 4 unanswered goals in the third to put it at 11-5.
Mike Powell proved again he has returned to normal form with his 6 point (3g, 3a) performance. I personally don't understand why people would begin talking after he has a couple low point games, but I guess that's the way it is.
In the first quarter Brown looked pretty sharp. They were clearing the ball fairly well and their passes were crisp, but I think their success had to do with Syracuse's early game woes. It definitely took them a while to get in gear and once they did their wasn't much Brown could do. The attack of Springer, Banks, Nee, and Powell that combined for 18 points (9g, 9a) in the game is just too potent. Against these guys you have to play perfect defensively because if you don't they are going to find a way to exploit you.
Syracuse's man down unit was definitely on top of their game as well later in the fourth when they killed a 3-minute non-releasable penalty that was served for an illegal stick. I couldn't hear the announcer on the PA system so I'm not sure which player in particular it was called against. There was a point when Brown was getting off shot after shot right in front of goalie Jay Pfiefer and was stoned on every one. The crowd really reacted to it. It is play like this that is going to give the SU defense more and more confidence later in the season.
Syracuse travels to Loyola next weekend and Brown hosts Yale on Wednesday.
Attendance at Saturday's game was 4,316.

Meet Bridgett and Make a Fab Bracelet
April 4, 2012
Helloooooooooooooo! * Seinfeld-esque pronunciation *
Hey there! I'm Bridgett. I'm the Full-time Goddess of Whimsy over at Rambling Designs! Mostly because I have nothing else to do really. Well, a little bit of stay at home mom-ing maybe… and wifery, and homeschooling two teenagers, and running a household, and volunteering twice a week at the local Food Bank,…. so in my spare time, I thought why not do some knitting and spinning and crochet and stitching and sewing, and cooking, and gardening, and reading.
It's a lot of fun really.
I do what I please, when the whim strikes me. So you can find all kinds of things in my shop. I also do custom work (which always come first, before my flights of fancy).
I have set myself a goal this year of knitting at least one item for charity each week and so far I'm right on track. (You can see the updates once a month in my "Tuesdays are for Charity" posts on my blog). My favorite things to knit are lace and socks, really.
I learned to knit from my paternal Grandmother back home in Bavaria. I was around 6 years old at the time (bit more or less….). This means I have been knitting for over… wouldn't you like to know? Tehehehe (*cough* 32/3 years *cough *)
I live in the Pacific Northwest now and loving it here! My house is so close to the shore, I can smell the salt water on days when the wind is just right.
Hmmm some fun facts about me? (asking my family for input)
- I'm very eclectic (not sure how that is fun, but there you have it)
- If I were rich I would be called eccentric, but since I'm not, I'm only called weird.
- English is my second language, so if I make some mistakes now and again, let me apologize for that right now, right here….yes, I know about spell check, but who has the time, I ask you?
- I dislike writing about myself.
- It is not unheard of, that I get up at 11 pm to make lemon curd, when I really want it. I love to cook.. I don't care what time it is!
- I love herbs. LOVE them. Can't read/learn enough about their medicinal uses.
- I have a naturally hairless dog. A Chinese Crested. I LOVE my dog! I think he is the cutest little bugger ever!
- I love rain
- I love Ravens and Crows! They are my favourite birds!
10. I love my family! I am so grateful to have them around me and have their support in everything I do. My husband and I are married for 13 years now and I still get butterflies in my stomach when he winks at me. Wherever you go, I shall follow, baby!
I want to thank Nicole to have me over today! I was really rather flattered by her asking me to guest blog!
To celebrate this I thought I make a little tutorial for the sari silk bracelets I make. Want to make one yourself? Then read on! They are super simple to crochet and look really, REALLY adorable in Nicole's awesome yarns!
I have gotten addicted to making the crochet braid, that is used in Romanian lace. One evening as I started a new braid, I got the notion, it could be used as a bracelet as well.. said and done. Off I went to make one with Nicole's wonderful sari yarn. I was right! The braid makes fantastic bracelets in this yarn! Try it for yourself!I will show the how to's in a flat cotton yarn, since I think you can see it better, but the bracelets really look their best in Sari silk!
What you need: Sari silk from Nicole (I like to use the recycled resolutions. LOVE those colours!) and a Crochet hook matching the yarn.
First off make a slip knot on your hook, leaving about a 10 inch tail for tying the bracelet.
Then chain 2.
Stick your hook through one loop of the first stitch off the hook AND through one loop of the second stitch off the hook. The loops indicated by the arrows in this picture:
You should now have three loops on your hook. Looks a little something like this:
Now yo and pull the yarn through the two first loops on the hook, like so:
Yo again and pull through the last two. See:
Turn your work. You basically flip it as the arrow shows in the next picture:
Ok now repeat this with the second side of loops of these stitches. Here is a picture indicating the two loops you need to insert your hook:
Here is a picture of my crochet hook in those two loops:
You, pull up a loop through two loops on your hook, yo and pull again through two loops on your hook.
Here is a picture of the finished second stitch and how to flip the work:
This was what you could call the "Set up row".
From here on out you will work as follows:
Turn your work. Stick your hook through the two loops that formed when you made the first part of the set up row. Right there, see? The arrows show the direction to go under and what two loops I am talking about:
Yo, pull up a loop, yo again and pull through last two loops on hook.
Flip your work and locate the next two loops to use (You can see them in the picture indicated by the two white arrows) and proceed as before. The white arrows show you the next two loops. You can see them already before you turn. DO NOT FORGET TO FLIP YOUR WORK BETWEEN EACH STITCH!
This is it. You just keep flipping your work and going through those two loops until your bracelet is the length you want/need it to be.
To finish it off: Cut yarn with about a 10 inch tail for tying
Yo and pull yarn through last loop on hook pull it tight. Presto!
You can make a loop in the end tail and use it as a button loop closure. Just find a pretty vintage button to sew to the other end of the bracelet and you are done!
OH Bridgett, YOU ARE AMAZING! What a fabulous project! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. And don't forget, these patterns are for non-commercial use only:)
Enjoy and be sure to thank Bridgett on her blog by leaving a comment there: )

The intensity continues to magnify.
In the hunt: There is no doubt that Sundays game against the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field is one of the most important games on the Steelers schedule and its not just because its the next game. Its because at this point of the season games take on a whole new meaning.
Its like a playoff, must-win atmosphere, said cornerback Ike Taylor. Both teams are in the hunt for the playoffs. Miami is putting themselves in position and so are we. This is a huge game. Its going to tell a lot. This game is like a playoff game.
The Steelers sit at 5-7, not a comfortable spot in a tight AFC race where they are the ninth seed. The Dolphins are 6-6, the seventh seed going into this weeks game.
Every game from here on out is do or die, said wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery. If you lose, you can be out of it. That is how we have to approach it. For us that is pretty much reality because we would lose tie-breakers. We are playing a team in the hunt in Miami and its going to be a playoff atmosphere.
Turning up the heat: With their playoff fate hanging in the balance Taylor said you can definitely feel the intensity pick up, something that just happens naturally this time of year. And for the younger players who havent experienced that feeling yet, its something they can just sense.
The intensity magnifies in practice, said Taylor. You are running faster, there is more attention to detail. That is what they see. Everybody is talking. Everybody is on their Ps and Qs.
When you are pushing for the playoffs, everything is magnified because its a loser goes home atmosphere. It fires you up and everyone is ready to go. When you are in that position mentally, and all 11 guys are with you, its a good situation.
The team had a bonus day of practice on Monday coming off a Thursday night game, and receiverAntonio Brown said you could already feel things picking up.
Everyone understands the position we are in and what is important, said Brown. There is a lot of emphasis on the game this week and every one after that. Everyone is on their game, buying in and in tune to what we want to accomplish.
Each guy in a helmet is giving their all. Everyone is on their assignment. That is the type of team and environment you want to be in when its December football.
Week 14 and NOW there's urgency.
