Friday Film Reviews: The Adjustment Bureau & Of Gods and Men
The two films I saw last weekend could not have been more unlike in intention, budget and artistic result: The Adjustment Bureau & Of Gods and Men.
The Adjustment Bureau
This lame brain science fiction disaster is a total mess from start to finish, and the 2nd bomb that Matt Damon has made this year. After the Clint Eastwood Hereafter debacle in which Damon looked bored and dejected, I was hoping his newest film would be an improvement.
Well, in a sense it is as Damon looks sexy and fit again, but this film's premise is so silly that even within its loopy sci fi genre it is terrible. Basically there are other worldly beings that can program humans and you can tell who they are because they wear hats. You heard me— hats. Fedoras rule as these hats give such power (except when it is raining) that people's behavior and events can be regulated. And these powers want... wait for it... Matt Damon and Emily Blunt separated.
Written and directed by George Nolfi based on a Philip K. Dick short story, the film progresses from one dumb scene to another. The main pluses in this film are the supporting cast of Anthony Mackie as one of the good villains and Mad Men's John Slattery and Terence Stamp as the bad guy villains.
As for Blunt and Damon, the only reason I would like to see these two actors separated is their total lack of chemistry. Blunt was terrific as the bitch assistant in The Devil Wears Prada and she was equally fine in The Young Victoria. But as a romantic leading lady she just doesn't cut it. She and Damon meet in a men's room (not near as fun as it sounds) and then are separated for three years by the evil bad guys. Unfortunately, it wasn't longer, because though Damon is a fine actor, even he cannot stoke any fires with the dreary Blunt.
This isn't to say that Damon is brilliant. Even he has problems in this fiasco, especially in the first scenes where he is being interrogated. His ludicrous "What is happening?" reactions are pretty bad. Plus the one sex scene is so weak it is rushed through in about 20 seconds. A few tosses and turns and then it is morning.
Ugh. If only the whole movie had moved this fast.
Of Gods and Men
On the opposite end of the entertainment world is the French film based on the last days of the Algerian monks who were killed by Islamic extremists in 1996. (This is not a spoiler as you pretty much know what is going to happen.)
Although it won the Cannes Film Festival and French Cesar Award for Best Film, this film was not even among the five finalists for the Academy Award foreign film. It is slowly paced and hard to call entertainment, but if you adjust your feelings of what movies should deliver, you will find Of Gods and Men to be amazingly touching and worthwhile.
The monks are warned of the danger and asked to leave by both the ruling Algerian government and the hard core Islamists as well. But they choose to stay. They have played a large part in the community through medical and social interaction, so they just will not leave. Showing that kind of faith on the screen is pretty hard to do (unless you're Ingrid Bergman in The Bells of St. Mary's or Jennifer Jones in The Song of Bernadette), but this film really spells it out.
Veteran 80-year-old character actor Michael Lonsdale, who has worked for master directors Chabrol, Zinnemann, Truffaut, Bunuel, Resnais and Orson Welles, turns in an exceptional performance that won him the Best Supporting French Cesar award. The film only has one really violent segment and the ending is not really shown. There is also a great emotional scene near the end of the film when one of the monks puts on a tape of the music from Swan Lake and they wordlessly express what is going to come. It is a hard scene to pull off but in a film that has very few emotional outbursts, the last supper effect is stunning.
Don't go to see Of Gods and Men if you are looking for a fun time. But if you want to see a beautifully directed and acted film about the consequences of faith, see it. The movie was probably made for the food budget expense of The Adjustment Bureau. But it is an excellent film and far superior to most of the Hollywood tripe out there.

In regard to Ana Veciana-Suarez's June 17 column, "The big fat lie? McDonald's isn't junk food":
I wonder why no one ever takes a poke at Burger King, Wendy's or any of the other hundreds of restaurants that serve burgers when quoting statistics on heart health and cholesterol levels.
Are McDonald's burgers more unhealthy? Are they any larger? If you've ever had a picky eater in your family, you know from experience that sometimes burgers are the only thing they'll eat.
It's not like you can't choose something else. Last time I checked, McD's offers at least three different salads. You can put all the healthy options on a menu that you want, but if people don't order it, sooner or later they will disappear.
Come on folks, how many of us eat McD's three times a day, every day?

Mexicans pour into streets to protest presidential polls results
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Mexican capital against President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto, accusing him of buying votes. Demonstrators marched through Mexico City on Saturday, shouting slogans against Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). The protesters -- among them students, leftists, anarchists and union members -- responded to a call by leftist activists who had called for a "mega march" after the official count announced Pena Nieto winner of the July 1 election by almost 7 percentage points. The protesters shouted slogans against the country's electoral authority and Pena Nieto, accusing the former state governor of paying off TV networks for support. Pena Nieto's victory returned presidential power to the PRI after 12 years. The party once ruled Mexico for seven decades, a period marked by vote rigging and consequent crackdown scandals. Pena Nieto is scheduled to take office in December, replacing Felipe Calderon of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) who is barred by the constitution from running for a second term. Meanwhile, Calderon's failed campaign against drug-related crimes and the country's sluggish economic growth under his government discouraged voters from choosing the PAN candidate, Josefina Vazquez Mota, who finished third. Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador ended up in second place but has refused to admit defeat, accusing Pena Nieto of stealing the presidency. Pena Nieto denies allegations of electoral fraud and PRI officials have threatened to sue Lopez Obrador over the accusations. Lopez Obrador, who led major protests after the 2006 presidential polls, has so far avoided calling for protests directly. He has, however, said he is collecting evidence of fraud to give to officials and called on the PAN to join forces with him to take legal action. Mexico's electoral tribunal is to evaluate any complaints by September and officially name the country's new president. MRS/MF/MA

Canadian Solar Inc.
), a low cost, vertically-integrated solar module producer with
predominantly China-based manufacturing assets, is scheduled to
report its third-quarter 2012 financial results on Monday,
November 19, 2012. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third
quarter of 2012 is a loss of 63 cents per share (year-over-year
improvement of 49.19%) on revenues of $377 million
(year-over-year decrease of 24.60%).
Read our full coverage on this earnings report:
Canadian Solar Posts Higher Losses
Third Quarter 2012 Consensus
Analysts surveyed by Zacks expect Canadian Solar to post
third-quarter 2012 loss of 63 cents a share. The current Zacks
Consensus Estimate represents a year-over-year improvement of
49.19%. Analyst estimates for the quarter range from a loss of 92
cents to break-even.
The current Zacks Consensus Estimate has remained flat over the
last 30 days; as none of the 4 analysts covering the stock
revised their estimates, with the consensus trending towards the
status quo.
Earnings Surprise History
With respect to earnings surprises, Canadian Solar has reported
below the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three out of the last four
quarters with an average of negative 120.59%. This suggests that
Canadian Solar has underperformed average analyst expectations
during this period.
Canadian Solar in Neutral Lane
Canadian Solar is a vertically-integrated manufacturer of silicon
ingots, wafers, cells, solar modules and custom-designed solar
power applications. The company sells its products to customers
worldwide, spread across Germany, Spain, the U.S., France, the
Czech Republic, Italy, South Korea, Canada and China.
Canadian Solar offers one of the broadest crystalline silicon
solar module product lines in the industry, ranging from modules
made of medium power, low-cost upgraded metallurgical-grade
silicon, to high efficiency, high power output mono-crystalline
modules, along with a range of specialty products.
Canadian Solar's standard solar modules are sold to distributors
and system integrators, and specialty solar modules and products
to various manufacturers, who integrate these solar modules into
their own products or sell and market them as part of their own
product portfolio.
Canadian Solar's China-based manufacturing assets have a distinct
cost advantage over its peers. The company also pursues a
balanced and diversified supply channel mix by entering into
long-term supply contracts and toll manufacturing arrangements.
In addition to in-house solar cell, wafer and ingot
manufacturing, it is also ramping up its internal solar cell
capacity to cut back its reliance on third party solar cells for
the manufacture of solar modules.
The prospects for Canadian Solar look favorable based on a
geographically-diverse customer base and improving operating
efficiencies through its vertically-integrated manufacturing
However, in the near term, fortunes will be impacted by the
industry-wide oversupply, leading to sharply falling Average
Selling Prices, tepid module demand in Europe and rising
competition in the market. Given the industry-wide high inventory
level, we do not foresee any short-term improvement in the
margins of the company.
Like its peers
SunPower Corporation
) and
LDK Solar Company Ltd.
), the company presently retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank
(Hold) that corresponds with our long-term Neutral recommendation
on the stock.

Ash Wednesday services remain popular
Church bells tolled again last week to mark the beginning of Lent. On Ash Wednesday, which is not a day of obligation to attend Mass, a record number of parishioners streamed by as I watched one priest and three lay people mark the sign of the cross on foreheads with ashes as they recited the old stanza, "Remember man that thou art dust and to dust you shall return."
A few years ago there was an effort to lighten up this sobering message, but now we are back to the old faithful words we have heard since we were children.
I am always amazed at the number of people who show up on Ash Wednesday. Holy days throughout the year, which are "holy days of obligation" for Catholics -- meaning that Mass attendance is obligatory -- are often passed over by many and the churches are half full for services. One wonders what compels people to attend this solemn service with its accompanying somber theme that life is transitory and in the end nothing that we consider so important in this life remains -- not even our bones. Lent offers us a time to contemplate just what we are about each day, to challenge ourselves to look at the dark side of our nature and to bring it into the light for healing at Easter.
Some profound philosopher said, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
Lent offers us time and space to do just that.
While listening to National Public Radio on Ash Wednesday, I heard an incredulous story -- one of those that arises every now and then in the press. It seems that on Ash Wednesday in some other state, a lunchroom helper was clearing plates in a school cafeteria and claims to have seen the image of the Blessed Mother appear on one of the pizza trays.
Even more incredulous is the story from the documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus." Put together by some enterprising filmmakers, the film claims an unearthed sarcophagus may hold the bones of Christ. Because of the names Mary and Jude also appearing on the sarcophagus, these filmmakers are also surmising they may have found the bones not only of Jesus but also those of his wife, Mary Magdalene, and their child Jude.
Of course, this is sure to inflame Christians everywhere to say nothing of what Time Magazine characterizes as the "showbizzy" appeal that is brought to such a venture. All of which leads me to believe that the "Da Vinci Code" certainly opened a Pandora's Box of everyone "Looking for God in all the Wrong Places" to paraphrase an old song title.
Speaking of light illuminating the darkness, what a game Kansas University played against the University of Texas this past weekend, or maybe I should say what a game Texas played against KU. Notwithstanding KU's win, which gave them the Big 12 title, most of the talk after the game was about the incredible Texas freshman, Kevin Durant. Even Brandon Rush, one of KU's star players had nothing but praise for Durant at the end of the game, with such statements as "It was frustrating." "When's he gonna miss?" "Is he ever gonna miss?" "Is he Michael Jordan?"
With 32 points overall, Durant, after re-injuring an ankle during the game, "even received a standing ovation in Allen Fieldhouse," according to an article in the Lawrence Journal-World, which also stated, "KU fans weren't standing and cheering. College basketball fans were." An incredible commentary on such a rare talent as Durant. Now, we only hope we don't have to play him again in the upcoming tournament. That's something to pray for during Lent.
A short note of thanks to all of those in Eudora who supported Daffodil Days, a fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society. By the time this column is read, my daughter Julie Stewart and I will have delivered daffodils to many of those who were kind enough to contribute to this worthy cause. Once again Eudora was very supportive, and $2,835 was raised to support the work of the American Cancer Society. The majority of the funds raised supports the research needed to ease the suffering of those now in treatment as well as to aid in the prevention of this disease which strikes so many of our loved ones. Thank you, Eudora.

Gaming mogul and founder of Wynn Resorts, Steve Wynn, has tipped $15 million into Pie Face's U.S. subsidiary, as part of a private placement.
The purchased shares represent approximately 43% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pie Face USA on a fully-diluted basis, the company said in a statement.
"Having met the Pie Face USA management team recently and having visited their first store in New York, I came to the conclusion that they were bright people with a bright concept. I look forward to backing them as they expand throughout Manhattan and across the United States," Mr. Wynn said.
An explosive boardroom battle between American casino magnate Steve Wynn and Japanese pachinko king Kazuo Okada has left investors with many questions about the future of gambling behemoth Wynn Resorts Ltd. It's left foodies with another: what will become of the decadent Okada restaurants in Mr. Wynn's casinos named after his partner?
One could look for clues in the way Mr. Wynn handled his last passionate breakup–his January 2010 divorce, for the second time, from the same woman, Elaine Wynn. The popular "Elaine Wynn salad" at the lively Cafe Esplanada in Mr. Wynn's Macau casino was renamed the "Wynn Mediterranean salad" about six months ago, according to people familiar with the matter. That's shortly after Mr. Wynn married British beauty Andrea Hissom in a blowout ceremony in Las Vegas in May last year.

June 16, 2005--Almost 70% of small business travelers don't belong to a business travel club, according to a survey released yesterday by the American Small Business Travelers Alliance (ASBTA).
The results of the survey, which polled the organization's 200 members, left ASBTA executives shocked at the number of small businesses that don't take advantage of travel club benefits. Jim Van Orden, executive vice president of integrated communications for ASBTA, attributed the findings to small businesses' lack of awareness of a changing travel industry.
Large travel companies are now gearing more advertising to small business travelers, Van Orden said, though this wasn't the case one or two years ago when most ad dollars were spent on corporate travelers. ASBTA believes small business owners perceive travel clubs as caterers to corporate travel only.
"The amount of time small business employees are traveling by plane is increasing because small businesses are growing and succeeding in America," he says. "They're taking 10 or more trips each year, but not really looking at benefits they could accrue in being in a travel club."
Business travel clubs exist at companies ranging from National Car to American Airlines to Expedia.com. Members are offered discounted rates on airfares or hotels and can earn reward points, such as frequent flyer miles, that can even be offered to customers or clients. Some clubs also offer to book entire trips or send flight updates. The amount of savings usually depends on how much the company travels.
Marc Osborn, a spokesperson for Orbitz for Business, isn't surprised that most small businesses don't use travel club services. "It's easier for a small company to simply do what they can on the fly, to try to find the lowest deal as it is," he said. Even though Orbitz for Business's main market is mid-size to larger companies, Osborn admits he sees potential in small business travel. He believes more small companies will begin to adopt online travel clubs like Orbitz for Business because of their convenience and the consolidation of airline, hotel, and car rental.
Stephen Stroud, owner of Dallas-based Park Cities Event Planning Inc., said he belongs to a travel club for many reasons.
"Travel clubs make it a whole lot easier in terms of type of places, the amenities, how I like to travel, and the seating I prefer," Stroud says. "I don't have to deal with it."

Geoff Chutter, BCom '76
WhiteWater West
When you speak with Geoff Chutter, you know you are speaking with a man who has found his passion. The president and CEO of WhiteWater West is all about his company – and he has much to be excited about. Canadian-based WhiteWater is the world's largest manufacturer of waterpark installations, with annual revenues of over $100 million a year, 525 employees, and 20 offices around the globe. The company's main operations are based in Richmond, BC, but WhiteWater's exports can be found in waterparks as far-flung as Dubai, Tokyo, Guangzhou, and Sun City, South Africa.
Though it may seem a strange path, Chutter came to the waterpark business serendipitously through his job as an accountant. After graduating from UofT, Chutter landed a plum position with KPMG, where he worked for six years – four in the Toronto office, and two in Vancouver. It was on an audit of the BC powerhouse, the Pattison Group, that he encountered his first waterslide park in Kelowna. By 1981, Chutter had jumped into the waterslide park business with two feet – building and opening the WhiteWater waterslide park in Penticton. Not surprisingly, his colleagues were dubious – "I was branded a lunatic," he says with a quiet chuckle. But the way he saw it, with a solid accounting background, he had a great career to fall back on. "Frankly," he says, "my basic figuring was that – at the time I was 28, 29 – if everything went upside down, I still have a great profession and do well at it, so I just viewed the risk as pretty minimal. Even with failure there was a fallback position."
Chutter never had to resort to his contingency plan. While the Penticton park is long gone – it was sold in 1985 so Geoff could focus on the development side of the business – WhiteWater has grown steadily over the last thirty years to dominate the market in waterpark manufacturing and development. Their creations can be seen around the world – from branded theme parks to cruise ships with slides that whirl their riders out over the ocean in transparent tubes. Indeed, WhiteWater likely has much to do with the fostering the international appeal it now profits from. When the company received commissions to develop waterparks in South Africa, Japan, and the Middle East, skeptics asserted that the ventures would fail because, for various reasons, the cultures of those countries weren't compatible with waterpark amusement (e,g., Africans don't swim, Japanese women don't like to be out in the sun, Middle Eastern women can't bare their skin when men are present). Chutter and his team were unfazed, adapting the culture of their waterpark developments to the culture of the people (providing lifejackets, creating shade for the park installations, ensuring female-only hours). This flexible mindset has allowed WhiteWater to become a leader in international development of waterparks where other companies have failed – a fact that Chutter attributes in part to being Canadian. "Canada's reputation internationally is pretty stellar; we tend to have a different approach than our cousins in the south," he says, citing a typical Canadian willingness to put in the time to build relationships that respect local cultures.
Another part of WhiteWater's success might be its founder's sense of play, which he used to his advantage when an undergraduate student at UofT. As a commuter student living in Thornhill, he found it difficult to plug into the university life, and, in his words, "was pretty close to bailing." That all changed when he moved onto campus in his second year and became involved with New College. Because he was in commerce, he was asked by a fellow student to produce a year-end show, which became known as New Faces. Not unlike Geoff's later colleagues who questioned the sanity of his waterslide park venture, the college's dean was not optimistic about the show's chances for success, promising to eat his hat if the show didn't flop. The inaugural event was a sell-out success unifying the student body and generating a wealth of community spirit, as was the one Geoff produced the following year. "Well," Chutter recalls wryly, "I clearly had to go out and buy a hat and give it to the dean."
While the part Geoff's years at UofT played in his career may be debatable, one thing is clear: the formula of community + fun = success that he brought to New Faces – which continues today as the New Faces Drama Society – works. About the projects he does with WhiteWater, he says "I love the communal aspect. It communicates a bigger picture that it's a little round globe we live on and there's lots of things we can do out there where we can have a meeting of the minds and have a tremendous amount of fun and have all the exact same values – focus on kids, focus on families, etc., etc. That's what it's all about. It's fun."

|All-New Malibu Boats WWA Pro CardInnovative new system elevates wakeboarding to a completely new level.
Lake Alfred, FL – There are two things that are certain in wakeboarding: evolution and that the World Wakeboard Association will be driving it. Raising the bar it set over 20 years ago with the sport's first competitive rules, the WWA announces the Malibu Boats WWA Pro Card. Designed to clearly define the sport's professional riders from their amateur counterparts, the innovative program includes qualifying and ranking criteria to establish a higher level of competition.
Before the development of the WWA Pro Card concept, professional qualifying guidelines were vague, at best; it was up to the individual rider to choose "pro" or "amateur" status in any competition. While this was clearly a benefit to the Amateur to compete in a Pro event, it also allowed riders with less advanced skills to compete against the world elite in the same contest, diluting the talent pool; there simply was no clear distinction. The all-new WWA Pro Card, renewed annually based on WWA World Rankings… Click here to read more about the Malibu Boats Pro Card and the WWA World Rankings!!!

J.W. Anderson Makes Camera Bags Look Sexy, Seriously
Before you jump to associate "camera bag" with the five-pocket twenty-zipper bubble version your father undoubtedly owns, take solace: Anderson says his leather version is "really just like a J.W. Anderson bag which holds a camera," and that just makes it a two-for in our book. The bag is inspired by Anderson's grandfather's leather cases and camera bag, suggesting a '40s influence. As Anderson says, "It articulates that meeting in the middle, about mens and womens, unisex."
Don't worry, Anderson, we're not exactly a hard sell on menswear.(Vogue)

I am researching tummy tuck surgery. A local doctor is advertising the Mercator Abdominoplasty. The surgeon states; Rather than being an "Artistic Expression" (like many plastic surgeons would like to say about their work), the Mercator Abdominoplasty design uses rigorous lines of reference and measurement techniques to construct a surgical plan that conforms to the abdomen under scrutiny. This shortens the surgical time while improving results. Can you help explain this better?
What is the Mercator Tummy Tuck? Better Than Other Surgery Techniques
Doctor Answers 1
What is the Mercator Tummy Tuck?
There is NO specific technique by that name. Here is another example of someone trying to brand an long-standing operation done over a thousand times a day to make himself appeal to unsuspecting readers.
As any casual research on Plastic Surgery will amply demonstrate, today's path to knowledge is strewn with pile after pile of BS, puffery and unfounded claims by some doctors making it hard to separate fact from fiction. But, as a rule, the fancier the term attached to an operation, with a few exceptions, open your eyes and be careful what you are stepping into.
Gerard de Kremer who later became known as Gerardus Mercator was a famous 16th century map maker (cartographer) who originated the term ATLAS (the name of his first published map collection) and a pioneer globe maker.
Mercator had NOTHING to do with Medicine and especially Plastic Surgery. His name is being used gratuitously. Most successful Plastic surgeons do not cut without measuring and planning. They TAILOR and customize each Tummy Tuck to their patients individual needs.
I would suggest you not fall for such marketing.

Hugh Kelly is a Yankee whose grandfather was stationed at Keesler
Air Force Base in the 1930s - an area Kelly's grandmother called
full of "liquor, hookers and trouble." Needless to say,
she wasn't thrilled about her grandson and his wife moving to the
Mississippi Coast 60 years later.
be OK, Grandma," Kelly assured her at the time. "I'm sure
things have changed by now." But she still wasn't convinced.
Now, more than a decade after their move, Kelly can confidently
say that moving to Biloxi was the best decision they could have
It all came
about when his wife was first recruited right out of nursing school.
She called Kelly, saying she had completed an interview with the
Veteran's Administration, accepted a position and had even found
an apartment for them.
our new mailing address?" Kelly asked her, thinking it would
be in Clearwater, Fla., a location they had discussed. She rattled
off the address, which ended with the words "Biloxi, Mississippi,"
Kelly remembers.
"I just
burst out: 'Mississippi?' And when I later told my co-workers,
they all said, 'Are you crazy? Mississippi?' But I can now
honestly say that we love it here."
That was 13
years ago. It was tough at first for this couple from upstate New
York to adapt to the coastal city they now call home. A couple of
years, they said they'd stay; now they can't imagine leaving.
Well, except
for one 16-month time period where one of them did leave: Hugh Kelly,
an Army National Guard member, was called up - not to go home to
grandma, but to a foreign country full of poverty, danger and cloudy,
dark water.
A soldier
and a student
In January
2002, Kelly was working on his master's in social work at The University
of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast when he got a "warning"
letter that the military might need him. Within the month, he was
on a plane to Ft. Stewart, Ga., then to Kuwait's Camp Virginia,
and then to Camp Anaconda in Balad, Iraq. From there, he went to
Camp Ridgeway in Habbariyiah, where he served six months with the
82nd Airborne Division.
Kelly's first
impression going into the war-torn area was of the extreme poverty.
"It doesn't even register until you are actually there to see
it. There is no social economic level and they were hungry, so we
threw our rations to them," he said, noting that military authorities
had told them not to throw food out for safety reasons.
"We then
worked on a steady effort to try to help the Iraqi people gain stability
in their country and help them understand a healthier lifestyle."
Kelly, who
has been in the guard for the last 14 years, said overall the security
level was good during his visit, but violence escalated when they
headed to Fallujah. "We lost some soldiers," he said.
"There were roadside bombs and our camps were being attacked
on a daily basis. There's a threat there, sure, but you put forth
your best foot to help the Iraqi people gain their freedom, which
is hard for them to understand; they lived under oppression for
so long."
Kelly, 33,
said he felt they'd accomplished their mission. "I started
one of the first weeks going into crowds and yelling 'Who speaks
English?' to find interpreters," he said. "That's the
best way I knew to find them. We'd employ people this way and work
hard to teach them about eight hours of work, about integrity and
about responsibility."
Kelly also
said that the group built schools to help Iraqis gain a good sense
of community, exist in a life without fear and appreciate the gift
of freedom. "We wanted to show them a different way to live,"
he said. "As engineers, that's our job - to make their lives
Many things
Americans take for granted are exciting to Iraqis. For example,
Kelly was drinking a glass of water that had been filtered due to
American military efforts. He noticed a group of watching Iraqis
giggling. Kelly's interpreter said the group was laughing at his
the big deal?" Kelly asked. The interpreter calmly informed
him that they'd never seen clear, "blue" water.
Kelly's group
saw continued growth during their visit, building schools and organizing
donations while dealing with the threat that comes with being in
the Sunni Triangle, a source of opposition to the coalition.
A husband
and a father
Kelly's job
in the Army National Guard is as Recon NCO with the 890th Engineering
Battalion, Combat Heavy. On the Gulf Coast, it's as a trainee employee
assistance program specialist with the Department of Labor, Gulfport
Job Corps (Desi). Kelly's job at home in Biloxi is husband to Tara,
33, and father to Taylor, 6.
Though e-mail
was sometimes available for updates on family events back home,
the worst thing about Kelly's tour was being away from Tara and
Taylor. "That was the hardest part," he said. "I
was missing my family, missing my child. Staying alive day to day
was my job, and people say we soldiers are the heroes, but it's
harder on the families, our being away.
every great soldier is a great (spouse). I personally came home
to a financially secure and intact family situation, all thanks
to my wife, who is simply the best at holding it all together."
For Taylor,
a self-described "daddy's girl," the story of a bad man
who stole teddy bears helped her understand why her father was away
all that time. "I wrote e-mails to my wife and to Taylor,"
Kelly said. "But before I left, I had told Taylor that Saddam
was like a very bad man who stole a little girl's teddy bear and
we had to go over there and get that teddy bear back, and make sure
he never did it again. She looked at me with these wide eyes and
said 'Yeah, Daddy! You get that teddy bear back!'"
Kelly laughed
at the memory. "Taylor doesn't like me being away, but she
accepts it. We are honest with her and she understands as much as
she possibly can. She grasps the idea of having to share daddy with
other people, but she still doesn't like it." She's still not
happy every time daddy puts on his uniform for drill, Kelly said,
even though he's just gone for mere hours.
Kelly has been
home about three months now, and he's back in school. He plans to
finish his master's degree in social work, and then work toward
a doctorate to work with government policy. His experience in Iraq
will come in handy. "We went into a hostile community with
different language skills, and started projects to help people help
themselves," he said. "I'll be able to draw from that
experience. It certainly gave me a base to go on - all those hurdles
we had to jump."
and faculty alike are glad Kelly's back safe and sound. "I'm
delighted to welcome Hugh Kelly back to the master of social work
program on the Gulf Coast," said Dr. Michael Forster, director
of the School of Social Work. "Hugh is just the kind of dedicated
social service professional that our extended program is designed
to accommodate."
Kelly learned
another valuable lesson while overseas: The Yank left this area
thinking it was hot in Mississippi. That's until he visited Iraq.
"It was
150 degrees," he said. "No, not heat index - 150 excruciating
degrees. Let me put it this way: Take a handful of sand,
throw it in your face, and point your hair dryer toward your face.
Now turn it on.
to Iraq!"

Rutgers' Brandon Coleman (left) hauls in a pass for a touchdown during a game against Army last season. Coleman is just two touchdowns shy of tying Tim Brown's Rutgers' career record (20) with almost two full seasons of eligibility remaining. / MARK R. SULLIVAN/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Follow Rutgers football coverage on the web on our Scarlet Scuttlebutt blog at MyCentralJersey.com.
PISCATAWAY — It was the second-lowest yards-per-catch game of Brandon Coleman�s soon-to-be record-setting career, and yet it was probably one of his most encouraging performances.
Two months after Coleman, who was still hobbling around on a balky knee at the time, revealed that his intentions for his redshirt junior season were to become a more a complete wide receiver and to judge himself against the best in the country at his position instead of just against the history of Rutgers football, he showed an ability to be a chains-mover on third down and a target around the goal line.
Of all the positive things said about him over the past two seasons � big-play threat, speedster, gamebreaker, potential NFL first-round draft pick � those two labels were not high on the list.
�I was out for most of the summer but I�ve just been working hard,� Coleman said. �It�s not going to stop here. I really want to be able to convert on third downs. I want to convert the big plays. I want to convert that two-point conversion. Everything my team needs I want to be that guy and not leave the game with three catches for 200 yards. That�s like video-game stats. I want to be realistic.�
Consider some of these stat lines from Coleman�s first two seasons of action: One catch for 44 yards. One catch for 38 yards. Six catches for 223 yards. One catch for 86 yards. Two catches for 100 yards.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound wideout scored a touchdown in all those games � one of the reasons he is just two touchdowns shy of tying Tim Brown�s Rutgers� career record (20) with almost two full seasons of eligibility remaining.
�I don�t know if my reputation is known for a lot of catches in tough situations,� Coleman said back in June. �Looking back at previous years� film that�s something I also need to work on � making that tough catch across the middle or covered by two or three people.�
Coleman converted a 3rd-and-15 and was back in the end zone twice during the season-opening 52-51 loss to Fresno State, with both scores coming from inside the 5-yard line, including one in overtime, but look at the rest of his numbers: Nine catches for 94 yards. His previous career high was six catches.
�I think he is becoming more of an all-around receiver and not just running those Go (routes) and deep throws,� said quarterback Gary Nova, who targeted Coleman 14 times on 48 dropbacks. �He is capable of doing it. He is willing to do it. That just adds another dimension to the offense.�
Coleman�s night was far from flawless, however. He dropped a pass in space with 17 seconds left in the fourth quarter that could have allowed for better field goal position on a drive that ultimately ended in a missed kick and he had the game-ending failed two-point conversion pass bounce off his fingertips in traffic.
�I was sick because we do that play all the time,� he said, �and we didn�t come up with it when we needed to. Next time we will convert.�
Of course, next time Coleman might not be shaking off rust. He missed all of spring camp and was held out of contact drills for most of training camp after undergoing knee surgery following last season.
�I really felt good,� he said. �My confidence was high. I was just out there letting it go. I didn�t think about my knee at all. I got a little bit winded but that was to be expected. I think I managed the situation pretty well.�
First-year offensive coordinator Ron Prince, who was introduced to Coleman�s talents while studying film for the NFL draft the past two seasons, plans to make full use of his most explosive target, meaning the days of a low number of catches are likely over but the big plays are not.
�It�s very obvious that Brandon has that kind of physical skill that will lead you to draw comparisons to a lot of different (NFL) players,� Prince said. �Many of the other players at his position are younger players whereas in the past he�s been in a receiver corps with other established people. I�m very excited to see what can happen when he can put his signature on a season.�
Leonte Carroo, who caught three touchdowns against Fresno State, was not at full speed in Tuesday�s practice though coach Kyle Flood that should change today. ... Flood said true freshman cornerback Nadir Barnwell �held up well� in his first action and �will gain opportunities because of it.� ... With Jamil Merrell listed as a game-time decision for Saturday, Rutgers could be down five or six defensive linemen.

Police are searching for an apparently suicidal man who was discharged from a Los Angeles hospital soon after officers found him hanging by his neck in a holding cell and brought him in for evaluation.
Police had not found the 21-year-old by early Sunday, and were
fearing for his safety.
The man was brought to a south Los Angeles station on Friday for
questioning in an ongoing investigation.
That evening, officers found him hanging from a noose in his holding cell and brought him to California Hospital Medical Center.
Police say hospital officials discharged him less than two hours later without seeking additional medical help for him.
County Mental Health Department law enforcement director Linda Boyd says she's disturbed by the hospital's actions.
Hospital spokeswoman Katreena Salgado was unable to comment
Sunday because she was not aware of the incident.

Re "Prices for gas kiss $4 a gallon; Egypt unrest, summer driving fuel recent rise," Wednesday article:
The above article about gas prices needed to go a little deeper for the following reasons:
1. I have seen articles about state laws banning credit card surcharges and New York was listed as one. Most stations charge more (surcharge) for credit card purchases. I have emailed my state elected officials and received no response.
2. Why is that when we have a surplus of gasoline, prices only decrease in pennies, if at all?
3. Rumors and possibilities of turmoil (Egypt) cause prices to rise, yet good news, such as the discovery of vast amounts of oil in Australia, does nothing.
4. You are right on about zoning prices. The price of gas in Port Chester is 10 to 15 cents higher than Mamaroneck. I have emailed my state and county elected officials with no response.
The public needs to demand answers and action by state and federal elected officials.

Stock Android powered Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition coming to Google I/O?
Google Edition will be available next month and will support T-Mobile's bands. We do not know at this point if the phone will be sold in the Google Play Store and what the pricing will be. Previous speculation had a newer version of the Google Nexus 4 being unveiled at Google I/O with 32GB of native storage and 4G LTE connectivity. That phone still might be unwrapped on Wednesday.
What makes a Google Edition of the Samsung Galaxy S4 so interesting is that for the last year, there has been some talk that Google was getting wary of Samsung's domination of the Android platform with the outstanding success of both the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Samsung GALAXY Note II. Speculation had started that the Tizen OS was eventually going to replace Android as the operating system found on most high-end Samsung smartphones. Instead, this alleged cooperation between the Korean manufacturer and Google seems to be making a statement, especially since it would take place on a fairly big stage like Google I/O.

36. joey_sfb (Posts: 4746; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Actually having 10 difference versions of Galaxy S4 is good for the consumer as long as their software get upgraded. Samsung recent track record on software upgrade is very encouraging. My 1 year old Galaxy tab 7.7 been upgraded from honycomb to ice cream sandwich to Jelly bean.
No complain from me on Samsung! Will keep buying their products.

Somehow, this edition feels like Nexus 4.1.

it doesnt matter....Nexus was mean just to show how it should have been done...Nexuses make no profit
3. docj8404 (Posts: 73; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
This is an interesting rumor to say the least.. I can just see the confusion on your average customers face when you have your carrier rep explaining the "difference between this S4 & S4", assuming there's truth to all of this.
I'm also curious as to what would become of a lot of the features available on TouchWiz that was highly publicized now that we're using stock Android? With the developer community already hard at work, I can't imagine current S4 owners dropping their S4 in favor of this, especially considering how easy it is to get that stock Android experience (or damn near) on your device.
So many questions...7 or 8 hours should hopefully bring all the answers :)
4. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5691; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
eh, i don't buy it.
6. BadAssAbe (Posts: 445; Member since: 22 Apr 2011)
So a nexus SGS4?
With a SD slot
Sounds good, very good
35. boosook (Posts: 1358; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
It remains to be seen if the updates will be handled by Google or Samsung... stock android does not mean it's a Nexus, so we don't know yet if it will be updated every time like the nexus phones and tablets or if updates will be prepared by samsung (albeit on stock android) and so samsung will decide when (and until when) the phone will be updated to the latest android version.
Anyway, I think this is very good news, perhaps OEMs are starting to understand that many users prefer a sleek and always up to date OS to an OS heavily customized by the OEM, full of unneeded features that take up lots of space on the internal memory, given the fact that stock android can be customized by the user with its preferred apps and launchers.
7. SonyFindOneDroidple (Posts: 750; Member since: 11 May 2013)
Well, samsung already sold 6million galaxy s4 units in just 1 week according to the news.
I wonder how will the other versions of galaxy s4 perform..
People who dont want touchwiz will be diving here..
8. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)

I would like to see a stock htc one
10. maccess (Posts: 734; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
even though i love their galaxy s line phone.. i always end up using nova launcher as my main launcher ( using it on my gs2 , note , gs3 and even htc one x ) i have no problem with touchwiz honestly but i just prefer the pure looks of stock android that the nova or apex launcher offered.. i will definetily buy this s4 google edition if its real..
12. wendygarett (unregistered)
I prefer touchwiz, it has svoice, smart stay, smart scroll and tons of air view stuff... There's no way I would go stock
14. maccess (Posts: 734; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
that's why the reasons i always buy the galaxy s line because of the feature and never buy stock android phone.. i just prefer the looks of the stock with all the touchwiz features.. and nova/apex launchers solves my needs.. but now i wonder if this google edition still has those touchwiz stuffs.. i dont think so.. but i still wanna give it a try...

This version of the s4 should be the less Laggy one...
48. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4237; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
You shouldn't get thumbs down for this. It's true, Touchwiz is a thick and bloated layer on top of what was a perfectly smooth experience. Even HTC managed to put their skin on without adding any lag, and they've been notorious for their laggy and intrusive skins.
44. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
I'd rather have an HTC One running 5.0/4.3/whatever stock
45. madpiyal (Posts: 108; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)
I don't think it's legit. Why would a company sell their flagship device ditching all their hard work in software side. And Sammy is expending a lot in promoting their home grown software, this stock Android attempt just puts all their hard work and money in vein.
50. k1ng617 (Posts: 264; Member since: 13 Oct 2009)
If true, I hope parts of this can be ported to other recent Sammys. I think parts such as camera and mhl give custom Rom developers trouble. Maybe there can finally be mhl for cyanogenmod roms!
51. tll84 (Posts: 13; Member since: 28 Jul 2012)
two questions -
1. is there a 32 gb internal memory model?
2. how much does it improve internal memory left after software is loaded?
i was about ready to cave and get the 16gb from Verizon (the only good option for cell service in my area) but this gives me reason to keep holding out.
52. ryan5609 (Posts: 106; Member since: 01 Nov 2011)
True or not, as soon as a stable vanilla 4.2.2 ROM is available for the S4, I will certainly be saying goodbye to touchwiz. But I really do hope this rumor is true, it will just make it that much easier to get a good quality ROM up and running, hopefully the dev community makes it easy to turn on and off most of the new features of the S4. I am really looking forward to seeing how the S4 breezes through pure android.

As a teenager at Eton College, Bear found his identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts. These passions led him into the foothills of the mighty Himalayas and to a karate grandmaster's remote training camp in Japan, an experience that soon helped him earn a second-degree black belt. Returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously grueling selection course for the British Special Forces to join the elite Special Air Service unit 21 SAS—a journey that would push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance.
Then, disaster. Bear broke his back in three places in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa. It was touch and go whether he would walk again, according to doctors. However, only eighteen months later, a twenty-three-year-old Bear became one of the youngest climbers to scale Mount Everest, the world's highest summit. But this was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures. . . .
Known and admired by millions as the star of Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his action-packed life. Gripping, moving, and wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat, and Tears is a must-read for adrenaline junkies and armchair explorers alike.

SCOTT COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - He says he had nothing to do with it. On Tuesday, a man on trial for a second time in the murder of his parents took the stand in his own defense.
James Anthony Gray's murder trial has been going on since last week in Scott County.
Police say he shot his parents, James and Vivian Gray, in their home in 2007.
Gray, 43, told the court that investigators bullied him into confessing to the murders.
"I'm getting real upset because he's saying I killed my mom and dad and I didn't," says Gray. "I knew I didn't do it and he kept saying I did."
Gray says investigators faked evidence and convinced him he must have blacked out and killed his parents, causing him to admit to the crime.
He took back that story and stands firm that he has no idea what happened.
Gray is expected to be on the stand for much of Tuesday night. Cross examination from prosecutors began after three in the afternoon.
Following a break for the jury just before five, the judge told jurors to tell their families that it would be a long evening.
His first trial took place last year. It ended in a hung jury.
