Lexington and UK officials said that while the majority of students and UK fans acted appropriately Saturday night, criminal behavior by some will not be tolerated Monday night, and those caught breaking the law will be subject to criminal and possibly university disciplinary action.
At a news conference Monday, police Chief Ronnie Bastin said photos and videos taken Saturday will be used in the coming week to identify and charge those who threw beer bottles at police and others, lit a car on fire and otherwise endangered others or damaged property.
"This behavior cannot and will not be tolerated," Bastin said.
He said Lexington police will have more officers out Monday, but he would not give specific numbers.
He said some of the people in a video of a car being lit on fire on State Street Saturday will be charged with acts of arson and/or wanton endangerment once identified. Those identified as having thrown bottles at officers could be charged with wanton endangerment or assault. More than 30 arrests were made Saturday.
He said no arrests from photos or videos have been made so far, but those charged afterward could expect knocks on their doors days later, even if they are not arrested in the act of committing a crime.

Officials showed a presentation featuring screenshots from video of those who poured lighter fluid on an overturned car and lit the car on fire with an article of clothing. They said those people could face arson charges once identified. Others, who were seen shooting fireworks on the corner of Woodland and Euclid avenues, could be charged with wanton endangerment.

UK police Chief Joe Monroe said UK police will be in full force on campus Monday night and will assist Lexington police at certain off-campus areas. He said the behavior of some people on State Street "does not reflect the proud history of this university."
UK Dean of Students Victor Hazard said students breaking the law could be subject to disciplinary action from the university, in addition to any legal action from police. He said this action could include a letter of warning, period of probation, suspension or expulsion, based on the facts specific to each case.
"We encourage you to be safe, be responsible and make good decisions as we anticipate a celebration," Hazard said.

Bastin said police are focusing their attention on public safety, the safety of others and property damage, rather than celebratory behavior, such as drinking, that doesn't get out of hand.
He said police expected a large-scale celebration Saturday night, but locations of the biggest crowds were"different than history has shown us." Following 1996 and 1998 championship games, the largest crowds gathered at the corner of Woodland and Euclid avenues, rather than State Street, the site of thousands celebrating after UK beat Louisville in the Final Four.
"As long as folks are celebrating and celebrating responsibly, we don't mind having the observer role," Bastin said. "We don't want to hamper a healthy environment where a celebration is occurring."
"We would prefer to have the role of the observer," Bastin said.

Hello! I wanted to pop in to share a little about where I've been and what I've been up to. As predicted, this summer has been super busy. This long leave of absence was unintended. I had plans for this blog, to keep content flowing through the summer. But then our new house became available for us to start working on nearly a month earlier than expected; so ever since the beginning of July, we've been knee-deep in renovations. My daily routine looks something like this: Wake up at 6, go to work, work on the house, finally eat dinner around 10:30, go to bed. Rinse. Repeat.
We've run into a few snags along the way, but we're (mostly) having a lot of fun turning the house into our home. So far I've mastered wallpaper peeling, popcorn-ceiling removing, window-casing sanding (worst job ever) and drywall mudding (best job ever; there is something about floating the mud over the walls that feels strangely artistic to me and I've discovered that I LOVE it).
Between now and the end of September we will be seeing things go back into the house. Things like floors, cabinets, and a kitchen sink. I'm super excited and so grateful. I daydream constantly about the memories we will make and the friendships we'll foster there.
When we closed on the house earlier this month, we thought, "What better way to celebrate than with closing-day cheesecake from Café Gratitude?" Once there and feeling famished, however, we decided to order a whole spread. It was a welcome (and nourishing) change of pace after a month of sandwiches.
We started with the I am Present, bruschetta (if you aren't familiar with Café Gratitude and its naming conventions, you can read more here). The toasted ciabatta topped with tomatoes, cashew mozzarella, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil is our go-to appetizer at Café Gratitude. It was almost too pretty to eat!
Erik ordered the I am Sensational, spaghetti squash, spinach and mushrooms in an alfredo sauce and topped with Brazil nut parm and fresh herbs. Ah-mazing. It's warm and comforting without being heavy. After taking a bite, I wished that I had ordered the same — it is sure to be my new usual.
But that's not to say that I didn't enjoy my dish, the I am Fabulous. This raw lasagne, filled with veggies, olive tapenade, pesto and drizzled with sun-dried marinara and cashew ricotta, is supposedly the reason Café Gratitude came to Kansas City. It's a light and flavorsome dish, perfect for a humid August night.
We finished the meal with our closing-day cheesecake, the I am Blissful. This dessert! This was our second time having the silky chocolate hazelnut cheesecake, and it did not disappoint.
We left feeling satisfied and nourished, and with plenty to be grateful for.
Before leaving, we checked out the daily question (they have a chalkboard featuring a daily question, and patrons can add their answers). The question that day couldn't have been more appropriate: "What change are you celebrating?"
I plan to be back sometime in September, as soon as the renovation is complete and we have had a chance to move and settle into our new home. In the meantime, I'd love to hear from you. What change are you celebrating?

Boy, 9, killed while visiting friendComment on this story
Durban - Nine-year-old Luyanda Kiki Dladla of northern KwaZulu-Natal died in a hail of bullets after going to fetch his friend to play a video game.
Phakamani Ndlovu and Nhlanhla Khumalo, both 29, of VQ Section in Wembezi, were also shot on Sunday afternoon at a neighbour's shack.
The gunmen had allegedly been targeting Ndlovu.
Luyanda's grieving father, Ntokozo Dladla, said his son, who was in Grade 6, had gone to visit a neighbour when he was shot.
The two boys were with Ndlovu and Khumalo when an unknown man arrived and started shooting.
"The shooter was shooting at the shack while they were all inside and when they ran out of the shack he (Luyanda) got shot," Dladla told the Daily News yesterday.
"The attackers then ran to their getaway vehicle that had been parked not far away," he said.
Dladla said Khumalo was shot inside the shack and Ndlovu outside while trying to escape.
He claimed Ndlovu had been accused of stealing a car in the area. "He had a feud with other people in the community. It is said (the assailants) had been looking for him."
Wembezi is a volatile area where there have been several politically related murders. However, local ward councillor Sam Dladla – no relation to Luyanda – said this was not a politically related murder.
Police spokesman Captain Thulani Zwane confirmed three males had been shot. "They were taken to hospital where they died on arrival."
Wembezi police were investigating three counts of murder but there were no arrests yet, Zwane said.

This post is based on an old presentation I gave several years back. A video of the presentation used to be available here, but today I couldn't get it to work, so I am attempting to make available most of the information from the presentation within this post. Keep in mind that the demo associated with this presentation is also available here. And some of these concepts may have been covered in more detail elsewhere on my blog:
Basic SQL Server Security concepts - logins, users, and principalsBasic SQL Server Security concepts - permissions and special principals: sa, dbo, guestSQL Server 2005: procedure signing demoSQL Server 2005: An example for how to use counter signatures
So, here it goes - brace yourselves because this is going to be a long post.
The execution context is the basis for authorization checks and is determined through the login and user tokens.
These tokens contain various information, but at a high level each token contains:
At server scope we get the login token, whose content can be examined via sys.login_token. When a database is accessed, a database scoped token is created based on the content of the login token - this is the user token, whose content can be examined via sys.user_token.
Impersonation allows us to change the current execution context, by setting a new active login token and user token.
Application roles provide a database scoped context, but the impersonation features introduced in SQL Server 2005 give us alternatives to using application roles. One of the most obvious benefits of the new impersonation methods is the elimination of the need to manage an application role password.
SETUSER, introduced in SQL Server 2000 should be avoided going forward. It requires high privileges (sysadmin) and impersonations are not stackable.
The EXECUTE AS commands are making SETUSER obsolete and provide access to the new impersonation model introduced in SQL Server 2005. EXECUTE AS commands allow impersonation at two levels: server level (also known as login impersonation) and database level (aka user impersonation).
At server level, there is no difference between a token obtained through authentication and one obtained through impersonation. Note however that Windows login impersonation is bounded to SQL Server level.
At database level, impersonation is a bit more complex: Inside the database where the impersonation took place we get a full user token; at server level, however, we get a stripped down login token; finally, outside the database where the impersonation took place, we get no access (we call this "sandboxing"), but this default behavior can be changed and the mechanisms that allow us to leave the sandbox will be covered further down this post.
There are two ways of performing impersonation: explicit and implicit.
Explicit impersonation is also known as standalone impersonation. Permissions for performing such impersonation are checked against the caller's context, at run time. The EXECUTE AS LOGIN command allows us to perform server level impersonation and it requires the IMPERSONATE ON LOGIN permission on the impersonated login. The EXECUTE AS USER command allows us to perform database level impersonation and it requires the IMPERSONATE ON USER permission on the impersonated user.
Explicit impersonations are stackable, which means we can get back to the previous context by calling the REVERT command. In stack terms, EXECUTE AS pushes a new execution context frame on the execution context stack, while REVERT pops the top execution context frame; the current execution context is always being determined by the execution context frame at the top of the stack. The REVERT command must be called in the same database where the context was originally set (so it can leave us in a situation where the previous execution context is meaningful). It is not allowed to revert a context that was set outside the current module, but we will see later that it is possible to push the caller's context within a module. REVERT does not require any permission for executing it. Finally, when a module ends execution, the context is always automatically reverted to the context set before the module call.
There are also a number of options that allow us to replace application roles. The WITH NO REVERT option allows a context to be set that cannot be reverted - REVERT will simply do nothing if it is invoked. The WITH COOKIE INTO option allows us to get back a cookie value which can be passed back to REVERT - this option allows only the setter of the context to have the knowledge needed (the cookie value) to be able to revert the context. It is also possible to create users without an associated login, via CREATE USER ... WITHOUT LOGIN command option.
At any point, it is possible to find out the original server level context via the ORIGINAL_LOGIN() builtin function. This value is also always shown in traces, to allow an administrator to more easily track the original context.
Implicit impersonation is also referred to as module level impersonation. This is specified at the time the module is created and takes effect later when the module is executed. The impersonation level is implied by the respective module type. For example, impersonation is performed at server level for server triggers, but at database level for stored procedures, functions, database triggers, queues, etc.
In terms of permissions, the IMPERSONATE permission is tested against the principal that is modifying the module. For the principal that calls a module, only the EXECUTE permission on that module is being checked. Of course, context is always reverted once a module completes its execution.
The default option (when none is specified) is to perform EXECUTE AS CALLER - this is the same behavior that was available in older versions of SQL Server (the only behavior). We can of course explicitly specify the context that the module should execute as, which requires IMPERSONATE permission on that principal. And then we have two special options - EXECUTE AS SELF and EXECUTE AS OWNER which behave as their names suggest (EXECUTE AS SELF is useful for automation, not for the unlikely case that a user has forgot his context). EXECUTE AS OWNER will require IMPERSONATE permission on the module's owner - if there is no explicit owner marked for the module, the schema owner is the owner of that module - this means that later, if the schema of the module is changed, the action can only be accomplished by someone that has IMPERSONATE permission on the new schema's owner.
There is a special form of explicit impersonation that can be used within a module that does implicit impersonation to execute a portion of that module under the caller's context - EXECUTE AS CALLER. This will change the context to the caller's context and the important keyword here is change - this does not revert the implicitly impersonated context. To get back to the previous context, REVERT can be called. It is very important to note that EXECUTE AS CALLER does not require any permission check.
Earlier, we mentioned that database impersonation is sandboxed, but there are mechanisms that allow us to leave the sandbox. Now is the time to look closer at these mechanisms.
To allow a user token to be valid outside the database where it was set, an authenticator can be added to the token. The authenticator will vouch for the content of the token, and if that authenticator is trusted in another database, then the token will be honored there; otherwise it will be rejected. Authenticating capability is managed via the AUTHENTICATE and AUTHENTICATE SERVER permissions.
There are two ways of setting authenticators. The first one is simpler, but less flexible - it is based on turning on the TRUSTWORTHY option of a database, which in turn allows its DBO to act as an authenticator. The second method requires more steps to set up, but it allows for much greater flexibility and control granularity - it is based on using certificates as authenticators.
This is a per-database setting which indicates that contexts set in the database will have the DBO as authenticator. Only a sysadmin can change the TRUSTWORTHY setting on a database and by default, this setting is OFF. If a database would be attached to a server, this setting would also be set to OFF at attach time. The command for changing this setting is ALTER DATABASE <database_name> SET TRUSTWORTHY = {ON | OFF}.
Setting the DBO as authenticator is the first step. The second step is for the target database to express trust into that DBO's role as an authenticator. This can be accomplished in one of two ways. The first way (more granular) is by granting the AUTHENTICATE permission in the target database to the user mapped to the login that maps to DBO in the source database. The second way is to grant AUTHENTICATE SERVER permission to the login mapped to DBO in the source database - this is a more powerful setting that is equivalent to granting AUTHENTICATE in each database of the server. AUTHENTICATE SERVER is a very powerful permission, so only members of sysadmin are allowed to grant it.
So, this method consists of two steps to enable cross-database access from a source database to a target database:
This method allows us to set certificates (or asymmetric keys) as authenticators by signing modules that perform implicit impersonation. The certificate must exist in the source database and either in the target database (when trust is established using AUTHENTICATE) or in the master database (if using the more powerful AUTHENTICATE SERVER permission). With this method, the TRUSTWORTHY setting is not needed - we use the certificates as authenticators, so we don't need the dbo to be marked as an authenticator as well.
The way we grant AUTHENTICATE permission to certificates is by mapping them to users or logins and then granting those principals the desired permissions. The users and logins mapped to certificates do not provide an access point to the server and are only used for associating permissions with certificates.
So, this method relies only on signing modules which adds the certificate as an authenticator and then in establishing trust into that specific certificate as an authenticator, by mapping it to a user in the target database and granting it AUTHENTICATE permission. Again, the alternative of mapping the certificate to a login in the master database and granting that login AUTHENTICATE SERVER should be avoided unless there are good reasons to use it.
Either certificates or asymmetric keys can be used to sign modules. Signing attaches a cryptographic signature to the module. This impacts execution context in two ways:
A signature affects the execution context only if it is valid - changing a signed module requires re-signing it to keep the signature functional.
Also, by default, a signature only affects the execution context within the scope of the signed module. To sign, CONTROL permission on the respective certificate is required.
Signature validation is performed automatically by SQL Server. Mapping principals to certificates or asymmetric keys is the method through which we can associate permissions to those certificates and asymmetric keys.
Signatures are effective only as long as the private keys are well protected. To achieve this, keep the following in mind:
Earlier, I mentioned that a signature affects the execution context only within the scope of the signed module. So if a signed module calls into another, the signature is lost during the call to the second module. To change this default behavior and allow a signature to last during calls to other modules, we can countersign the other modules. A countersignature does not change execution context - it is just a mechanism that allows signatures to persist outside their original scope. A countersignature will only carry over a signature made with the same certificate as the countersignature.
With this additional information, we can flesh out more the earlier description of the contents of a token. A token can thus contain:

The Minnesota Vikings have waived quarterback Sean Glennon, offensive lineman Bobby Lepori and tight end Nick Walker .
All three were signed as rookie free agents after not being drafted in April. Glennon played at Virginia Tech, Lepori at Fresno State and Walker at Alabama.
The cuts trimmed the Vikings roster to 82 players. The roster limit is 80 players, but drafted rookies do not count against the cap until they are signed.

Google launches Knowledge Graph today, wants to understand real things (video)
Americans and Brits might chuckle at their respective understandings of words like chips, pants and biscuits — a search engine, however, can't be quite so discerning. As it turns out, Google actually thinks it can, and has been working on its Knowledge Graph project to prove it. Beginning today, English searches from Google.com might start seeing a new box appearing alongside (unless you happened to see it via the live-trial). If there is more than one potential meaning to your search term, Google will ask you to specify (trousers, not underwear, for example). Likewise, when it's more confident it knows what you mean, you'll get a summary box instead. (A celebrities place of birth, favorite cheese etc..)
Google's Shashidhar Thakur, tech lead for search, told us "We think of this as our pragmatic approach to semantic search." And by pragmatic, he means that for the last two years, Google has been working to map the "Universe of things," not just webpages. Over 500 million things, in fact, creating a total of 3.5 billion attributes and connections so far. The hope is, that as this technology evolves, you'll be able to ask more complex questions, like "Which US airports have a Cinnabon stall." Or, you know, other such deep and meaningful queries. If you see some info, and happen to know better, there's a feedback system, so you can let Google know, hopefully making Knowledge Graph continually evolve in accuracy. While it's only rolling out for English searches, it's not just desktop, with mobile and tablet search getting the goods too. There are plans to spread this out to other languages, but no specific dates for this just now.

The search for a black bear will continue to shut down parts of the Red River Gorge.
Searchers want to find that bear before it attacks again.
Good Question...Kellye in Paris: How will wildlife officials know they've caught the bear?
There have been several sightings.
"We suspect this is a male bear simply because of its size from the reports," says Steven Dobey, a bear expert.
Picture after picture has been snapped of a black bear roaming the woods of the Red River Gorge.
"It was by itself acting along, that rules out any female with cubs or smaller bears or much larger bears."
The question now, are the sightings that have happened since the attack that of the same bear that mauled a man while hiking.
"There's no confirmation that its the same individual, but repeated sightings give us hope it is that bear bear."
Wildlife officials have intensified their search efforts.
They know according to the victim that the bear was tagged, but if found how will they know its the same bear.
"So the sighting reports or photographs can really help us narrow down the bear we are looking for."
As day three in the search closes, wildlife officials say its sort of like piecing together a puzzle and connecting the dots.
Right now sightings like the ones they are receiving are the best info to go on.
If found there is still no word on what wildlife officials plan to do with the bear.

DNA downtime to let lawyers do prep work
Getting back DNA test results in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints child custody case will take 30 days, and attorneys likely will spend that time meeting with their clients and gathering more information before the next round of hearings.
Guy Choate, a local attorney and the state bar director for the district that includes San Angelo and nearby communities, said attorneys probably will have several activities this week to arrange with clients.
After a two-day hearing, 51st District Judge Barbara Walther ruled late Friday that the state will keep temporary custody for the time being. She also ordered DNA testing for the 416 children, and asked sect parents to participate as well, to determine lineage. "DNA will remove all doubt," Choate said.
Officials reported trouble determining many children's parents.
Walther ruled that the next round of hearings must be done by June 5 and will not be done en masse. That puts the window of time for the follow-up hearings at roughly two weeks.
No details have yet been offered on how the court will divvy up the hearings, although it is possible that children will be grouped with their siblings to consolidate the number from 416 down to a more manageable volume.
Child Protective Services removed 416 children from the FLDS ranch near Eldorado in a raid beginning April 3 on allegations that the children's parents have allowed a "pervasive pattern and practice" of underage marriage and sexual abuse there.
Choate said the sect men have a number of reasons men to possibly refuse DNA testing, but doing so would put their parental rights in jeopardy. He said he is not sure whether a law exists pertaining to women refusing to participate in DNA testing, but this case likely will address that issue.
While the DNA results may change some proceedings for attorneys, he said, most cases will not hinge on them.
Choate said he is not sure whether DNA collected for a civil case can be used in criminal investigations.
The state Attorney General's Office is arranging DNA testing, said Shari Pulliam, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The testing, which involves swabbing inside the cheek, begins today and will take a few days.
Once it is finished, CPS will move children from the San Angelo Coliseum and begin placing them in temporary foster care. All adult mothers will be separated from their children at that point.
Pulliam said Walther will clarify today whether all children will be placed in the 51st Judicial District: Coke, Irion, Schleicher, Sterling and Tom Green counties.

Holiday booking agent granted bailComment on this story
KwaZulu-Natal - The North Coast woman who is accused of fleecing holiday-makers out of thousands of rand has been released on bail.
Tammy Cook was granted bail in the Stanger Magistrate's Court on Tuesday after she was arrested in Morningside last week, having allegedly fled Salt Rock when charges of fraud and theft were laid against her.
She was arrested after a friend of hers saw a report about the case against her in The Mercury's sister newspaper, The Independent on Saturday.
According to the police, Cook had acted as a letting agent for two holiday homes on the North Coast last month, but she had double-booked the properties.
The complainants, most of whom were from Gauteng, arrived at the cottages to find they were already occupied.
Some of them had paid between R18 000 and R40 000 as deposits.
Police Captain Thulani Zwane said at least three cases had been opened at the Umhlali police station.
"The amount involved at this stage is approximately R82 000," he said.
National Prosecuting Authority spokeswoman Natasha Ramkisson said the State had not opposed bail for Cook because she had a fixed address and was not deemed to be a flight risk.
Cook was granted bail of R5 000 and was warned to appear in court next month.
The disgruntled holidaymakers, who claim they were scammed, vented their anger on the website hellopeter.com.
One message said cases had been opened against Cook.
"We booked accommodation that we found on the North Coast Holidays website. The accommodation was paid in full. When we arrived on December 27 there was a family already booked into the house… Not fun to drive all the way from Joburg to find out that you have been ripped off!" - The Mercury

May Star of the Month
Meet Ceon Palmore, an outstanding sixth grade student at Sousa Middle School! Throughout this school year, Ceon has shown tremendous growth becoming a leader in both the classroom and the garden. This month, Ceon was instrumental in Sousa's VeggieTime gardens, taking the lead in building two additional garden beds at the school. She handled power tools, gave helpful directions to her peers, and she even helped her instructor on the proper way to put the frame together!
Additionally, Ceon was elected the Kid Power President this month during an activity in which the students simulated the process of how a bill becomes a law. The responsibilities of the presidency initially intimidated Ceon, but by the end she was eagerly asking when the activity could be repeated to address other important issues. We expect big things from this amazing young woman!
Ceon (left) is pictured with two classmates who are displaying the work they did during a lawmaking activity.
April Star of the Month
Jonathan Lopez-Ventura is an awesome 3rd grader at H.D. Cooke Elementary School. His favorite subject is science and he loves experimenting to learn new things. Johnathan is a huge fan of the Marvel super heroes and, like them, always takes on leadership roles in the classroom. Johnathan implemented the daily tradition of playing charades with his classmates in Kid Power and After Care while they wait to be picked up at the end of program. He's also used his creative talent to invent his own games to play with friends. We expect big things from this all-star!
February Star of the Month
Miner Student of the Month
January Star of the Month
Chavez Star Student of the Month
Quincy Diggs Jr is an outstanding 7th grader at Caesar Chavez Prep Middle School. Quincy brings enthusiasm, cooperation, and eagerness to program each day, and is a classroom leader in enrichment activities.
Quincy expressed great application for the various field trips that Chavez students participated in. His favorite was a trip to the Spy Museum in October, but also enjoys the weekly trips to Georgetown Day School and Sidwell Friends for the respective music and Robotics programing.
Quincy also showed leadership in winterizing the school garden. His favorite veggie is corn and his favorite fruits are grapes and watermelon. Math is his favorite subject.
Quincy brings a great dynamic to the kids here at Chavez and we are very glad to have him as our Star of the Month!
November Stars of the Month
Tubman Elementary School
Kiona Daniel is a 4th grader at Tubman Elementary School who values inclusion, respect, and harmony. A leader in the classroom, Kiona enforces peaceful conflict resolution by mediating for her friends when they have an argument. She also strives to ensure all students feel welcome and included at program; she befriended a fellow student who was having a hard time making friends, as well as reaching out to all students during routine activities like VeggieTime, POWER Vote, and bus rides to Sidwell Friends School to make sure no one is excluded.
Jefferson Middle School
Jaida Murry is a leader at Jefferson Middle School. Her positive attitude, enthusiasm, and kindness always lights up the classroom. She has nearly perfect attendance and works hard every day. When new programs or initiatives are introduced, Jaida is always excited and willing to try. She volunteers her time and encourages others to do the same. She also helps fellow students with homework.
Kid Power's Newest Site: Sousa Middle School
In 1950, eleven African American students were denied admittance into a newly built middle school in Southeast DC. This denial eventually led to the historic Supreme Court case Bolling v. Sharpe, which made segregated schools illegal in the District and defeated the idea of "separate but equal."
Sixty years later, Kid Power is proud to launch our program at the historic Sousa Middle School under the leadership of Cheyenne Gartin! My name is Katie Kirchner and I am a junior at American University studying public communication and education. This is my third year working with Kid Power and this year I've been lucky enough to work with Cheyenne at Sousa two afternoons a week. Located by Fort Dupont in Ward 7, Sousa encourages learning by providing a broad and comprehensive curriculum that is backed by a strong emphasis on the humanities and the sciences.
Kid Power programming started in September of this year and currently enrolls forty-seven sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. Every afternoon students spend an hour working on academics, an hour working on either Veggie Time or the Citizenship Project curriculum, and a half hour being physically active. This semester, students have participated in a "penny war" between classrooms to raise money for the homeless, baked and handed out carrot muffins at Delta Towers, spent hours in the school garden, carved pumpkins to learn about plant anatomy, and completed over 90 hours of academic work.
Armani, Kid Power's Star Student of the Month from Sousa said that her favorite part of Kid Power is working in the garden and being able to get her hands dirty. My personal favorite part of working at Sousa is being able to watch the students think of innovate and meaningful ways they can help create change in their lives and their community. One of the first days I was there the students listed out issues they saw impacting their community and ways they could address each one. I also serve as the Veggie Time Specialist for the site and seeing the students learn through fun, hands-on activities is also extremely rewarding. In the picture to the right, our students and staff are playing a relay-race game that taught pollination.
Stay tuned for more stories of success from Sousa as the year continues because our students are amazing!
October 2013 Star of the Month
Amari is a sixth grader at Kid Power's new site, Sousa Middle School in Ward 7. She is a leading example of POWER: not only does she have perfect attendance, but she also arrives at program organized and more than willing to help her friends. She marches to her own beat and stands firm as an individual. She has remarkable insights about how to improve her community and is quiet but strong leader. Her fellow students describe her as "nice," and someone who stays on track and as someone who always stays on task, and as someone that "keeps others on task." Her favorite part of Kid Power is VeggieTime! She especially enjoys getting her hands dirty in the garden and helps encourage her peers to do the same.
May Star of the Month
May was the last full month of programming at our sites before summer. Testing had finished, the weather was improving and it could be an easy time to "take it easy." Not so much for Kid Power students, especially 5th grader at Prospect LC Myangelo - our Star of the Month of May.

April Star of the Month
Daro is a 5th grade student at HD Cooke Elementary School in the Adams Morgan Neighborhood. She is the student of the month for April because of her dedication to Kid Power and her helpful spirit. She is respectful, kind, hard working, and joyful.
This past month HD Cooke learned about the needs of adults and kids around DC that are homeless, which lead us to have a canned food drive to help. We asked all of HD Cooke to help us collect cans for a week and the most generous giver was Daro. Although she may not have a lot, she gave a tremendous amount. On the last day there was a full box filled with food all from Daro and her family. When asked where all of the cans came from, Daro replied that her family was given the food but she felt that there were other youth and families that had a greater need.
On a regular basis if help is needed Daro is willing to lend a hand. She does a great job watering the garden, helping to set up and break down Kid Power activities, and washing dishes after we cook. Not only does she volunteer to help but she does it with a smile. Daro has grown in her time at Kid Power and in April she shined bright with her leadership skills and helpful heart!
March Student of the Month
At the beginning of March, Kevin Garcia was able to attend the first ever International Young Environmentalists Youth Summit in Buford, GA. This was a very long trip and Kevin showed a lot of patience and maturity during the 12 hour drive each way. He was with a group of students he had never before met but his charm and sense of humor quickly won him friends. Even though he had never before traveled with strangers, Kevin was able to have a lot of fun and learn a lot.
During the summit Kevin took part in discussions regarding current environmental issues and was always willing to share his thoughts and ideas. He was full of ideas about alternative energy as well as how we use plastics. There were a lot of opportunities for students to have fun while at the summit as well. During one of the sessions students were given plastic bottles to use in making recycled art projects, Kevin's became a little octopus. There was a dance break at another point and Kevin eagerly joined in.
On the last day the students went to a park where they noticed a lot of trash laying around. Kevin, and the other students, began an impromptu park cleanup. They loaded their arms with bottle caps, pieces of string, discarded wrappers, and bits of paper. This was not an organized activity but a service project that the students took upon themselves to complete. During the trip Kevin exemplified what it means to be a Kid Power student. He was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and ready to learn! All of these qualities that Kevin possesses were on display in March making him Kid Power's Student of the Month!

72-year-old who killed husband, son gets 5 years
By Blake Belden, Staff Writer
Feb 3, 2014, 12:18
CHESTERFIELD — A Chesterfield woman who killed her husband and mentally disabled son was sentenced to five years of active imprisonment in Chesterfield Circuit Court.
Estelle Jones, 72, pleaded guilty in November 2012 to the second degree murder of her husband, Joseph Edward Jones, and the first degree murder of her son, Perry Edward Jones, 51.
Judge T.J. Hader sentenced Estelle on January 16 to a total of 50 years for both charges, with 24 years suspended and a stay of execution on 21 years of her active sentence, according to court records.
On the evening of the incident in April 2012, Estelle said she shot Joseph, her husband of more than 50 years, several times after he began verbally abusing her, according to court records.
After concluding that her incarceration would leave Perry without anyone to properly care for him, Estelle said she covered his face with a towel and choked him to death with a belt, before she kissed him goodbye and promptly called the police confessing to what she had done, according to court documents.
A psychiatric evaluation of Estelle reported that Perry was diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder which rendered his mental age to be around three years.
Estelle was the sole caregiver to Perry, her first born son of three, who could not speak and could only communicate his needs to his mother, according to court records.
Estelle, born in Chesterfield, described decades of domestic abuse from her husband of more than 50 years, Joseph Edward Jones, during which he would exhibit violent rages spurred by alcohol, many times putting a pistol to her head. Joseph previously faced three assault charges, and one of Estelle's other sons said that Joseph had been incarcerated for domestic assault multiple times, according to court documents.
Estelle said that if Joseph had control of the gun on the night of the murder, he would have done the same to her, and that before she killed him, he said "I could have done better marrying someone else," according to court records.
A psychiatric evaluation found that Estelle was "significantly depressed" and demonstrated signs of paranoia and delusional behavior, according to court records.
Estelle had no criminal history prior to these charges, according to court documents.

Hiya hashi, this is off-blogtopic but, I was musing to myself today and I have to say that you really have an eye for budding talent. You started giving praise to Hanazawa Kana and now she's getting major roles for like, everything. Too bad seiyuu industry isn't like the stock market though; I couldn't take your predictions and invest in a seiyuu as a company...

@Anonymous -- Like the stock market, I think I'm one hit for ten misses, lol. But certainly, right now the voice that keeps striking me is Yuuki Aoi -- although other people saw her first, in Kure-nai, where I was not as enthusiastic as they were.
In her show Yumeiro Patissiere, there is also an 11-12 year old seiyuu called Iino Mayu who is doing an excellent job with a character called Caramel. Maybe she'll be the next big thing -- in a few years.

Fried Seafood Recipes
Frying is one of the most convenient cooking methods applied for pretty much any type of ingredient or dish. It involves cooking food with varying amounts of edible oil. Asian cooking predominantly uses coconut, palm or peanut oil; European cuisine is known for using significant quantities of olive oil while the United States and Canada use canola and corn oil for everyday cooking.
Examples of popular deep fat fried seafood dishes served across the world include fish and chips, originally a take away item served in newspapers in the United Kingdom and Japanese tempura usually made with prawns but can also feature vegetables, crabstick and fish. While some restaurants' specialty meat dish is a mixed grill with beef, pork, lamb and chicken the marine equivalent to this is a seafood platter, usually grilled or battered and fried. Fish fillets, oysters, shrimp and mussels are usually the components of such platters with fancier versions also containing cut up lobster tail and scallops.
In Catholic countries, it is a Lenten observance to abstain from eating meat on Fridays leading up to Easter Sunday. Fast food joints and even fine dining restaurants capitalize on this by serving options such as shrimp and fish sandwiches and a wider selection of seafood menu items.
Worldwide consumption of seafood has risen among many individuals for various reasons. Health benefits of fish consumption, specifically those caught from deep seas, have been attributed to lower incidence of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, high blood pressure and strokes. This is due to the high amount of omega-3 fatty acids that suppress the activity of harmful substances in the body that can induce blood clots and joint inflammation.
Pescetarianism has been coined for those who refrain from consuming red meat but take fish and seafood products. For those who want their meals to be on the healthier side, keep frying (especially deep fat frying) to a minimum and instead opt for grilling, boiling and baking. When frying, use a good quality cooking oil and drain as much excess fat as possible before serving. Note that olive oil doesn't work well for deep frying as it has a lower smoke point.
An occasional fried dish is alright and can even be healthy as eating fat in moderation helps in the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K not to mention other nutrients and phytochemicals. Everything in moderation as they say.

What exactly is a rummynose?
Is it is a rasbora or a tetra? I've seen it classified as both.
It's commonly referred to as a tetra but these are only common names that mean very little. If you want to see what fish are closely related go by it's scientific name,Hemmigramus rhodostomus,and look for other fish of the Hemmigrammus genus
Way back when, I saw them listed as both. That prompted me to Google it. The first 2 entries were Tetra & Rasbora. If I remember correctly. Hemigramus is the genus name for tetras. What makes a rasbora a rasbora?
Hemmigrammus is only one genus of fish that is commonly referred to as a tetra. Neons are in a different genus for example but are still called tetras.Black tetras are in a third genus and it goes on and on. There really aren't any rules for common names which can often lead to confusion.
Classifications are made by certain characteristics which sometimes fall on the borderline of 2 or more species.... it doesnt necessarily reflect behavior of the fish... in other words, not all tetras are alike even though they share common characteristics.
What exactly is a rummynose?
Fin structure is one of the primary means of identifying the family to which a fish belongs.
For example, tetras have an adipose fin between the dorsal and caudal fins, while cypranids do not. So whether it is a tetra or a rasbora is determined by the adipose fin, or lack thereof.
It's a tetra.
Rasboras aren't cypranids ,they are characins.
That is incorrect.
I'm only wrong about five times a day so I'm going to double check
Just double checked .They are characins

Scottdale Gazebo concert series continues with High Ryder Band
The Scottdale Gazebo Concert Series continues Sunday with the High Ryder Band.
The concert is scheduled from 7-9 p.m. at the gazebo downtown.
The High Ryder Band is based in Dawson and according to its website feels there are a few things that sets it apart from most.
These include more than 200 years of musical experience and a simple approach, which doesn't include "fancy stage shows," pyrotechnics or laser shows. Other features of the band include three-part harmony and a vast song list that guarantees those attending a High Ryder Show will not hear the same show twice.
"We're a classic country, southern rock band," said band member Roy Hess, who founded the High Ryder Band in 1994.
Hess said the band does perform covers of songs everyone knows and to which they like to sing along.
"We don't try to copy the artist, we like to put our spin on it," he said. "We have our own particular edge on most songs we do, and we like to use it."
The band has undergone some changes this season, not the least of which was the death of bass player Jimmy Howell. He has been replaced by Andy Hresko, recently voted one of Pennsylvania's top musicians according to a poll on musicmates.com. Andy's son, Andrew, replaces Bobby Acklin on drums. Acklin retired in November after 14 years with the band.
Rounding out the group is lead guitarist Vernon "Bup" Eberhart.
"We're really happy with the band right now," Hess said. "We have four guys who play for the love of playing. It will still be classic country, but a little edgier. We can now get into blues and a little bit of jazz. Once we get rolling, we're liable to do anything. That's when you really enjoy playing."
One of the places the High Ryder Band likes to play is Scottdale at the gazebo concert series, something Hess believes the band has done for about 10 years.
"That's kind of our homecoming," Hess said. "At one time, most of the band was from the Dawson, Scottdale area. We've always had a good turnout there."
The concert series began Sunday with the traditional season-opening performance by the Scottdale Community Band.
The remainder of the summer schedule is as follows:
July 21 — Traveling Road Show
July 28 — Sugar Mountain
Aug. 4 — Michael Christopher
Aug. 11 — Remnant
Aug. 18 — Scottdale Community Band at Loucks Park.

I am not particularly bullish these days — 50/50 stocks versus cash/bonds — and while we certainly could see a bounce up towards the 1250 level on the SPX, I am not sanguine about the next 2Qs of market performance.
That said, the chart below may be a very short term, bullish indicator. As we have seen in the past, TBP traffic spikes are often accompany a substantial increase in nervousness. That can set the table for a decent bounce, but as the dates below confirm, it is typically short term in nature. More solid bottoms (i.e., 2 years versus 2 months) were more likely to be accompanied by complacency, not interest.

The Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) is Webb's primary imager that will cover the infrared wavelength range 0.6 to 5 microns.
All four flight science instruments were integrated into the ISIM structure by March 2014.
Learn More About NIRCam:
NIRCam will detect light from: the earliest stars and galaxies in the process of formation; the population of stars in nearby galaxies; as well as young stars in the Milky Way and Kuiper Belt objects. NIRCam is equipped with coronagraphs, instruments that allow astronomers to take pictures of very faint objects around a central bright object, like stellar systems. NIRCam's coronagraphs work by blocking a brighter object's light, making it possible to view the dimmer object nearby - just like shielding the sun from your eyes with an upraised hand can allow you to focus on the view in front of you. With the coronagraphs, astronomers hope to determine the characteristics of planets orbiting nearby stars.
NIRCam is being built by the University of Arizona and Lockheed Martin.
Watch the Video Snap Shot of the NIRCam engineering test unit arriving at NASA Goddard:
The NIRCam has ten mercury-cadmium-telluride (HgCdTe) detector arrays. These are analogous to CCDs found in ordinary digital cameras.
The NIRCam is a science instrument but also an Optical Telescope Element wavefront sensor, which provides something similar to instant
LASIK vision correction.

Steve 'Woz' Wozniak on the Future of Computing: It's Human
Steve Wozniak" />
When Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak drops by the office for a visit, it's guaranteed to generate at least one video-worthy moment, like the one below.

Good thinking Chris......I completely second you that computers can be smart only when they can solve their own problems!!
Its so true we need to focus on making people smarter!!
Computers are so smart they can actually figure out how to prevent the flea market ads like the ones posted here and on every other FC article from getting through. Bik ini?
Computers are far from smart. That's like saying an encyclopedia is smart. The more computers store, the smarter we say they are.
Well, I will believe computers are smart when they can solve their own problems. "Windows has encountered an error and needs to shutdown". "Error, a driver may be missing or a file corrupted" The damn thing can't discern what's wrong with its own processes and we expect it to be smart?
My coffee machine makes coffee when I add the ingredients. It does not know how, it just does it. I think we need to focus on making our people smarter.

Things certainly seem to be getting pretty serious between Jennifer Lopez and her boyfriend, Casper Smart.
After all, whether it's heating up Miami or tweeting about their romance, these two are definitely not shy about making their feelings for each other known.
And you know what they say: First comes love, then comes marriage.
So will the American Idol judge eventually take the plunge again?

"I don't know," Lopez told Matt Lauer during an appearance on Today this morning. "We'll see. I don't know. It's not time to think about that yet. It's still fresh."
Of course, the word fresh not only applies to her new relationship with the 24-year-old Smart, but her recent split from Marc Anthony as well.
Yet, despite calling it quits, Lopez and her ex have been able to keep things civil—both personally and professionally.
"Marc and I were friends before we got married. We were friends for years and we always loved each other and we always worked together," said Lopez regarding the former couple's new TV competition series, Q'Viva: The Chosen. "So it wasn't an unnatural thing for us to continue working together and, obviously, we have children together, so it's not like he's not going to be in my life. He's always going to be in my life."
And while she added that sometimes there are those "difficult moments" when they are together, Lopez insisted "there is real love there and there is a family there and that comes first."

Joe Donnelly visited The Roost in Fishers, Ind., on Nov. 6, 2012, the day after he was elected U.S. senator from Indiana.
What has happened to middle-of-the road Joe Donnelly? He voted with his partisan handler Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in support of the destruction of long-established Senate rules by invoking the so-called nuclear option. During the Bush years both Reid and then Sen. Barack Obama inveighed such rules were critical to the Senate and protection of the minority party. Today, when given the opportunity to be a true Hoosier, Donnelly has his chain pulled by Reid and Donnelly heals to Reid's command.
A pat from Reid to Donnelly's head is in order. Will Donnelly wag his tail his tail in submissive gratitude?

The Rupp Report: Home Textiles - Cornerstone Of The Industry
Every January, Frankfurt am Main is the global center for home textiles. The next Heimtextil, the
world's largest international trade fair for home and contract textiles will take place January
14-17, 2009. "Connecting World is the motto of this leading international event. With around 2,800
exhibitors from all parts of the world and 85,000 trade visitors from 124 countries attending in
2008, Heimtextil reflects the entire home and contract textiles market.
Global Audience
Fifty-seven percent of exhibitors at Heimtextil in Frankfurt come from Europe. The top exhibiting countries include Germany, India, China, Turkey and Pakistan. Sixty-four percent of visitors come from outside Germany and are led by Italy, Great Britain, Spain, Greece, China, the United States, Turkey and France.
By experience, one can say that show organizer Messe Frankfurt GmbH is always putting a lot of emphasis on copying. An information and legal service during Heimtextil will assist exhibitors in protecting the product copyrights and trademarks. Heimtextil offers a free initial legal consultation, an information stand staffed by experts from its partner organizations and a strict ban on photography and enforcement by security staff.
Marrakesh — Partner City 2009
Marrakesh, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is partner city for 2009. Morocco's second-largest city is one of the fastest growing places in the Arab world. The color spectrum of the city plays with four traditional colors: the blue of the sky, the white of snow-capped mountain peaks, the green of palm trees and the earthy red of its medieval fortifications.
Changing Times
According to information given at a recent press conference, the event reflects a textile industry that has entered into a period of tremendous and rapid change:
• migration of the primary production facilities from Central Europe and America to Eastern and Southeastern Europe and Asia;
• globalization of the production and goods flows and their logistics;
• automation of production techniques;
• internationalization of marketing;
• emergence and growth of new consumer markets including China and India; and
• new fields of activity such as contract furnishing - new challenges to meet the demands of sustainability in ecology, economy and social responsibility.
Diversified Markets
Regions such as Turkey, China, India and Pakistan produce a complete range of ready-made household textiles and roll goods at all quality levels and in a broad range of patterns and designs. Emerging production markets include Vietnam and Thailand. China and India are said to be growing in importance as sales markets with untapped consumer potential for both mass-produced goods and premium brands.
Heimtextil Trends For 2009-10
With a total of six new trend predictions, the Heimtextil Trends illustrate the direction to be taken by colors and materials over the next 18 months and, according to the experts, the motto is "Expect the Unexpected." The Heimtextil Trend 2009-10 book, "Expect the Unexpected," will appear for the first time in magazine format. Collages, illustrations and photographs of furnishing sets, designs and fabrics visualize and explain the trend forecast with design-related themes highlighted for the first time.
Sustainability And Eco-Textile Labeling
The concept of a company's sustainability in terms of the environment, the economy and social compliance has moved from its earlier theoretical and political advocacy stages into actual business practice. Heimtextil will address this issue by providing information: Lectures will feature speakers representing industry, research and trade. The recently published Eco-Textile Labeling Guide, an up-to-date directory of certificates of environmental awareness and sustainability in the textiles industry, provides comprehensive information and assessments of approximately 30 environmental certificates from various international regions and textile industry sectors.
Growing Contract Business
Approximately 16 percent of buyers at Heimtextil are shopping for contract business products. The contract business has proved to be a future-oriented and rapidly expanding market for the textile industry. Heimtextil has taken account of this development in recent years with the Contract Creations section. Contract Creations logos will be used increasingly at exhibitors' stands to promote the presence of textile manufacturers serving hotel, hospital, office and conference markets. To facilitate making contacts and scheduling appointments at Heimtextil 2009, a record 350 contract textiles suppliers have registered to be listed in the printed Contract Guide and online at www.contact-contract.com.

What do you mean by "ferret"?
Dude seriously, what's the big deal? If it was such a game changer, why didn't they just give him a rag to clean up the spit? Is the world that boring that people have to flip **** because Tiger had some extra saliva?
What the ****ing hell is wrong with Tiger Woods? He is going to burn in hell for all eternity. They should throw him in a jail for 3 life sentences with no parole. Gosh, how could he even do something like this?
It's because he's losing. People pretty much forgive anything athletes do if they just win.

Hello again, Heisman? Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk said back in December he was going to bring the Heisman to back to Waco in 2013. He certainly has the offense around him to do it. Baylor averaged 572.2 yards per game last year, second in the country, only behind Lousiana Tech. Only a handful of starters return but Seastrunk is still at running back, potential first-round NFL draft pick Cyril Richardson is still on the the offensive line and head coach Art Briles is still at the helm.
The question for the Bears will be whether it's defense can improve. If it can, the Bears — like just about every other team in the conference — could make a run for the Big 12 championship.

text: The bulk of production in the new packaging began appearing on store shelves in April. While the switch required some modification to the packaging line including a nitrogen-flushing tunnel and a new seamer it saves money on a per-can basis according to Beer Nuts marketing communications manager Jim Tipton. The 18-month freshness dating is the same though Tipton says freshness dating may well be extended to reflect the longer shelf life that this package provides. That's because the nitrogen flushing system removes more oxygen from the can than the previous vacuum packaging system bringing residual levels down to about two percent versus five previously. Another benefit is that the new package's peelable foil membrane is safer than the previous aluminum ring-pull closure with its sharp edges. Sonoco supplies the canisters with the membrane and plastic overlid already applied; Beer Nuts fills them and seams on a metal bottom. Recyclability was a concern says Tipton though the composite canister contains 50% recycled content 35% of which is post-consumer material.

Goodbye Alsop, hello Careyjones in Salford
[First look] Careyjones chapmantolcher has submitted this plans for a 1,091 student bedroom development in Salford once earmarked for a 26-storey tower by Will Alsop
Four years ago (AJ 27.02.07) Alsop won approval for a £40 million mixed-use development on the Adelphi Street site at the 'gateway' to the New Chapel Street regeneration area for Vermont Developments. The outfit went into administration in August 2008 and the scheme shelved.
Last week student homes specialists Manor Property Group submitted a new planning application for a large-riverside development on the plot - now known as Manor Wharf- which includes office units, a gym, café, car parking and landscaping.
Manor Property Group spokesman Bill Addy said: 'Manor will be regenerating an area of Salford which has seen many years of decline and we are looking forward to working with the planners to enable start on site later this summer in order to meet growing demand for occupancy from September 2013.'
It is understood the tallest element of the new scheme will be 18-storeys.
Watch a fly-though of the concept plans for the development here.
Manor is currently working on student accommodation at 11 sites across northern university towns, including Hull, Manchester, Salford, Bradford, Durham, Birmingham, Sheffield and Leeds. The Salford site will be operated by Manor Student Homes.
Readers' comments (3)
Oh Dear!
The Alsop scheme was just daft.
This one looks like a 1st year student has done it.
Alosp's looks mad and meaningless but may look quite stunning when it's sunny.
Careyjones' is meaningless dull but seems to suit devceloper's pocket.
If Alsop's can be done by a 1st year student then Careyjones' can be done by everyone dare to design.
I think the first comment refers to the Carey Jones scheme being designed by a 1st year student not the Alsop one.
But that said - all Alsop designs look like fist year projects.

Kelly Slopestyle '92 board - questions on value
4 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone,
I have what I believe is a 1992 Kelly Slopestyle board in great shape. I was hoping someone may know if it has any value, and where it could best be sold. I added some pictures so you can check it out.
I will be actively checking this thread if you have any questions.
It's actually at least 93. Maybe a 94. Burton was still using their 5-hole pattern in 92.
As far as value - you're looking at under $100 on eBay.
Damn thats an old board. Ebay is most likely your best bet because if theres anyone looking for something like this they'll most likely start there.
i'll buy it
i'll buy it for $40 and just hang it on my wall.

There are several groups on this website if you search "step family" you will be given a list of options. I'm a step mom myself and i've found its something not to many people can understand or relate to. You start to feel like you are all alone on your own private island. I have been reading The Smart Stepmother. So far its one of the best books ive read on the subject. The best advice i have ever gotten in general on how to survive being a step mom is to have girlfriends...lots and lots of girlfriends.

Friday December 11, 1998
The title of Scott B. Smith's page-turning novel "A Simple Plan," and the smartly condensed script he adapted for director Sam Raimi, describes the solution that a winter hiker comes up with after he and two others happen onto the carcass of a downed single-engine plane, and decide to keep a duffel bag found inside containing more than $4 million in cash.
The plan's architect is Hank Mitchell (Bill Paxton), a married, underpaid accountant for a small mill in a depressed Midwestern town. The others are his good-hearted, but slow-witted, unemployed brother Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jacob's boozy redneck pal Lou (Brent Briscoe).
Hank's immediate reaction is to want to call the authorities. Lou's is to take the money and run. And Jacob, who has the swing vote, is gridlocked by his divided loyalties to his brother and his overbearing best friend.
Finally, Hank comes up with a compromise. They'll hide the money until the plane is found by others, and then decide, based on the likelihood of being caught, whether to keep it. It's a simple plan set down on a slippery slope, the beginning of a chain reaction of greed, panic, paranoia, betrayal and murder.
The novel's and the movie's underlying assumptions are that the temptation in these stories of found money are universal, that we'd all at least consider the options before making a decision. And for those who would cross the line, there may be no turning back and a total surrender of their conscience.
Hank is a fundamentally decent person, with a pregnant wife, a mortgage and a future that he neither fantasizes nor fears. It's only when the money is in his possession, when he and his briefly appalled wife, Sarah (Bridget Fonda), allow their imaginations to embrace the possibilities, that the larceny in all men's hearts is activated in his.
Paxton, Central Casting's answer to a call for Everyman, is the perfect choice for the role. He's been playing variations on this theme of the ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances throughout his career, most notably as the small-town sheriff in "One False Move" and astronaut Fred Haise in "Apollo 13." Here, he's playing a man who is transformed from upstanding citizen to ruthless killer, without seeming to change at all.
It's a perfectly transparent performance, at once shocking and believable, and for those who prefer their dramatic arcs on a gentle curve, it's one of the year's more memorable efforts.
But most of the attention will be focused on another mesmerizing portrait of a rural simpleton by Thornton, who won an Oscar nomination and stardom as the paroled killer Karl Childers in "Sling Blade." It is Jacob, not his brother, who carries the film's moral compass, and, working with a prosthetic overbite, a rumpled winter wardrobe and a ratty mop of hair, Thornton makes him the most interesting character, as well.
Where Lou would impetuously blow his share of the loot at the soonest opportunity, and Hank would tuck it away like a pension fund to be parceled out in installments, Jacob wants to use his cut to buy and revive the farm where he and Hank grew up. He wants to reclaim his past, when he was loved and cared for, when life itself was a simple plan.
The role of Jacob is greatly expanded from the book, and the unsatisfying way that Smith and Raimi resolve the brothers' relationship in the movie is the only major change--major compromise--made in transporting the novel to the screen.
Raimi, best known for a series of visually stylish gore-fests ("Dark Man," "The Evil Dead") and one wildly quirky western ("The Quick and the Dead"), restrains his appetite for excess in order to focus on the moral deterioration of Hank. The result is a chilling blend of heartland thriller and Scandinavian gothic.
"A Simple Plan," bearing strong physical similarity to the Coen Brothers' "Fargo," is a black and white world accented in green (money) and red (blood). Virtually everything before Alar Kivilo's camera is staged against a backdrop of knee-deep snow, under an ominous sky, creating for the audience--as it seems to for the characters--a mood of constant and ever-warranted dread.
Let it be a lesson to us all.
