The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) – Directed by Harald Zwart – Starring Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Robert Sheehan, Kevin Zegers, Jemima West, Godfrey Gao, Lena Headey, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Aidan Turner, Kevin Durand, and Jared Harris.
I almost bought into this movie.
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES is so close to being a movie I actually like that I ended up disappointed at not being able to fully embrace it. That's actually high praise for a movie I had zero hopes for and even less interest in watching. In fact, if I didn't love Mirror Mirror so much, I would never have bothered with yet another YA "romance in dark places" movie. I watched the first Twilight film and though I was impressed by the cinematographic slickness, the story was so dumb and the romance angle so pathetic, I've never been back. I couldn't even make it to the half-hour mark of The Host. I feel like I've already seen Divergent five times and all I've done is watch the trailer. When we've got The Hunger Games and Catching Fire lapping the field in terms of quality, these films in the Suzanne Collins/Jennifer Lawrence shadow have a long road to respectability.
I remember seeing the trailer for MORTAL INSTRUMENTS in the theater and laughing at how bad it all looked, but since then I've seen Mirror Mirror and was so impressed by Lily Collins' performance that I wanted to see how she did in a film that looked like complete junk. The good news is that she's real good, and gives Clary (and the entire film) a a grounded humanity it desperately needs. Except … Collins makes Clary almost too human, too well-rounded, that I did not, for a single second, believe that this girl was going to fall in love with someone (anyone) in about five minutes after watching him murder someone, even if he did then save her from a monstrous dog that attacked her by spitting its own insides at her.
CITY OF BONES is a good reason why I love movies so much. I had zero interest, then was hooked by the film's opening sequences, then nearly fell off the couch at how bad it got, then was brought back in, then wondered if the final action sequence was ever going to end, and then was curious to see if it did well enough at the box office to get a sequel. (It didn't. But it's getting a sequel anyways, apparently. Somewhere, John Carter is weeping Martian tears.) I ended up being both thankful that the movie impressed me in places and frustrated at the things it did wrong.
In the end, I can't say that CITY OF BONES is a good movie, but I can say it's an almost good movie, and if they put out a Director's Cut where they shaved a good twenty minutes from the film and nuked the completely insipid romance angle, it might actually turn out to be a movie I did like.
But I can't embrace this movie. Not all of it. Not enough of it.
Almost just isn't good enough.
Clary Fray (Lily Collins) sees a man get murdered that she isn't supposed to see. Not because the killers didn't want any witnesses but because the killers didn't think it was possible for anyone to see them. Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower) and his pals are Shadowhunters and they are fond of marking up their skin with runes that give them powers, like being invisible to Muggles – I mean, Mundanes. Clary panics at the sight of the murder, then again when she wakes up to discover she's been drawing a particular design in her sleep, and then again when she sees Jace in a coffee shop.
Then again when she runs home to find her mother missing.
There's a lot of freaking out in the early stages of CITY OF BONES and while it's a bit annoying, it's also totally believable. Clary is clearly a smart and resourceful almost adult (as she proves when she gets attacked by a demon dog and burns him alive). She goes to watch one friend be terrible at poetry and then convinces another one to go to a club with her. Clary is self-aware enough to know she can use her looks to get into the club, but not so self-aware (maybe purposely so) that she doesn't realize her best friend, Simon (Robert Sheehan) is in love with her, even when he passes on talking up a cute blonde during poetry because he's "saving himself for someone else."
Yes, CITY OF BONES is the kind of movie where characters actually say things like, "I'm saving myself for someone else" and "You won't believe me if I told you." The biggest fault with this film is the mind-glowingly bad dialogue, especially when it's paired with the staggeringly bad romance angle.
Look, I'm not a guy that hates romance (I dug Warm Bodies and Titanic and Beauty and the Beast and WrestleMania VII) but I do hate stupid romantic plots that come off like they were written by a thirteen-year old girl after her first break-up drives her into a make-out session with a poster on her wall. When Clary and Jace finally have their big kiss moment, they say things to one another that a Hallmark card would commit seppuku over in order to save the world from having to experience them. (From Jace, after telling a story of his father killing a trained hawk: "I cried that night and I haven't cried since." Because, you know, he's dark and broody. Except he isn't. Jace is a much better character when he's Season 5 Spike and not Season 6 Spike.) And when the film rolls in a "they're really siblings!" swerve, the Hallmark could would tape itself back together just so it could off itself a second time.
It's so painful to watch two decent actors and, to that point, largely two interesting characters become unraveled as they approach the revelation of their emotions. Yeah, love can make you say stupid things (believe me, I'm not immune …) but Clary and Jace do not express love to one another as much as they express the idea of what a broken-hearted thirteen-year old thinks love should be. It's maddening. I was just realizing that I was pleasantly surprised how much I was enjoying this film when Jace gets all pouty faced at Clary hopping next to a bed-ridden Simon, and then takes her to a greenhouse inside the Shadowhunters' secret mansion so they can suck face, and then gets all mad when Simon catches them together OUTSIDE SIMON'S DOOR, and then wails about how Clary means nothing to him as stomps and pouts away to cut runes into himself.
CITY OF BONES lost me there.
When the film sticks with the supernatural, I find it to be rather watchable. Yeah, you can certainly play, "Guess the Source" of every scene, as the world of MORTAL INSTRUMENTS is certainly going to remind you of other films and books, but if that scene reminds you Underworld and this scene reminds you of Buffy, that's not the end of the world. There's too many scenes that are effectively nothing more than infodumps (Clary has the "truth" about herself and her past given to her at least four different times), but the sets look good and the fight scenes are competent.
The film puts so much of this load onto Clary's shoulders that it takes a strong actress to keep everything centered. Not even Collins can save the dopey, melodramatic dialogue in the romance scenes, but she does excellent work making Clary feel both competent and overwhelmed, depending on the situation.
One element of the film that really works for me is the humor. I wish there were more of it. The film desperately needs more moments of release from the emotional bludgeoning it delivers. Clary has to deal with the kidnapping of her mom, the revelation she's part of this secret world of monsters, falling in love with a guy who kills things for a living, shutting down her best friend's "I have always loved you," dealing with her father being this world's Big Bad, dealing with her father figure saying he's spent her whole life using her, figuring out she can do magic, and just generally dealing with two guys who demonstrate their love for her by acting like two five-year olds mad because they can't have a cookie before dinner.
That's a lot to put on anyone's shoulders and I found myself really taking to the brief moments of humor to keep the film from falling into Twilight-esque mopey suffering.
Some of these moments are genuinely funny, too, as when Clary gets a new wardrobe from the one female Shadowhunter, Isabelle (Jemima West), and complains about how tight her clothes are. (Which is kinda silly since Isabelle is bigger physically and so her clothes should fit Clary looser, not tighter, but whatevs.) To get Clary to shut up, Isabelle reminds her these clothes are needed so they can find her mom, to which Clary replies, "How is dressing like a hooker going to help me find my mom?"
When Jace and Simon fight over the authenticity of cops: Simon thinks they are, and Jace knows they're demons, so he kills them. If they weren't cops, Simon wants to know, "How did they get a police car?"
And in the funniest line in the movie, Clary gets in a truck with Luke (Aidan Turner) her mom's friend who happens to be a werewolf. Luke is the guy who said harsh words about Clary while he was being tortured to try to convince the bad guys he didn't know where the film's MacGuffin was located, but now he's convinced Clary those were lies. (There are a lot of lie in this movie.) By way of showing him things are cool and she knows what he is, Clary tells him, "Go ahead, you can stick your head out the window," to which Luke grumbles, "I'm a werewolf, not a golden retriever."
Good stuff. I wish there had been more moments like this because CITY OF BONES is a long-ass movie. I felt every one of the film's 130 minutes and but the time Valentine (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) shows up, I was definitely hitting my remote's "Display" button to see how much longer the film was going to run. I also wish there had been more moments like that because it would have been a proper use of Lily Collins' natural likability. I wish the filmmakers had been willing to adjust their script during production to take advantage of these abilities.
Collins is certainly a beautiful young woman, but in Hollywood that will be lucky to get you the part of Background Character #4 in whatever teen drama the CW is pumping out these days. (Given how dense this story is, and how many emotional ups and downs the characters are forced to go through, THE MORTAL BONES would have been much better off being adapted as a CW drama than as a movie.) Collins' appeal isn't her attractiveness, however, but her ability to make her characters feel like real people; with her characters you have to pay attention not just to what's taking place on the surface, but also just behind the obvious. She's an actress that sells quiet reveals (like with Luke in the truck) better than emotional fireworks.
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES never quite sustains a level of watchability equal to its star, and while it never equals the dramatic heights of The Hunger Games, it's a clear step above the overblown, melodramatic dreariness of Twilight.

The hot, grinding two-a-day practices are in the rear view mirror and the excitement is bubbling to the surface as UTEP opens another soccer season tonight.
The Miners, with an ample mix of veterans and youth, will take on Texas State at 7 p.m. today at University Field. There will be an alumni tailgate beginning at 5:30 p.m. and there will be free brisket sandwiches from Rudy's Country Store and BBQ while supplies last.
The Miners are coming off a 12-6-3 season a year ago, going 5-3-2 to finish third in the 16-team Conference USA race. The Miners have six starters, 18 letter winners returning from last season's adventures.
Texas State went 8-9-2 a year ago and the Bobcats have seven starters, 16 letter winners back.
"We're all super excited," said UTEP coach Kevin Cross. "This is the first UTEP athletic event of the season, we have an alumni tailgate, the American Outlaws (soccer fan club) coming, Rudy's Barbecue. And this is what we work for all year. The intensity level in practice has been good. And this current group does have a high confidence level."
While the Miners do have experience, there is youth — 16 of them are either freshmen or sophomores.
Alexa Bain, Brianna Barreiro, Aleah Davis, Sarah Dilling, Mackenzie German and Tayler O'Hayre are the returning starters but depth should be a strong suit of this team. Some freshmen should be able to step in and see immediate action.
Davis, a redshirt sophomore from Hewitt, Texas, was a preseason All-Conference USA pick.
"Everyone has been on the same page," Davis said. "Just like we were in the spring. Everyone has been working hard and the freshmen have adjusted well from high school and club teams."
Davis sustained a knee injury in her freshman season and was forced to redshirt. Now, she considers it a blessing.
"As upset as I was at the time, I'm so glad the way things worked out," she said. "I was able to watch and learn and play just a little bit and it helped me so much. There is definitely a reason for everything. And I'm very confident in this team we have right now. We all have the same mindset. We've been practicing really well and it shows in our practices, our runs, our conditioning. Everyone just came in ready."
Angela Cutaia, a junior from Burlington, Ontario in Canada, said, "I feel we've definitely improved since last year. We got good results in all our spring games and now we have momentum coming into the fall season.
"We've come together as a team really quick," Cutaia said. "On the field we are talking, getting the freshmen involved. Off the field, we are all already talking a lot, too. We are a close group."
Cross has been the UTEP head coach since 2001 and that first season was his only losing campaign. The Miners have gone 99-17-7 at University Field since 2002.
This UTEP team — two-a-days behind them, excitement flying high — is facing another opener, another new season and hoping to notch that 100th home win since 2002 tonight.

Who is South Africa's best-selling musician?
There was shock and laughter as balladeer and soap star Steve Hofmeyr's disc of nostalgic Afrikaans songs was named best-selling album of the year.
But Hofmeyr, who snapped up the prize for Toeka at the South African Music Awards (Sama) at Sun City on Saturday, is a genuine winner.
Toeka has sold 150 000 copies - an album goes gold with just 25 000 sales in South Africa - since its release in January last year.
Sama presenter David Kau was one of those surprised at the award, blurting out "you've got to be kidding" and "is this a joke?"
But Hofmeyr wasn't at all surprised.
He wasn't present to accept the award on Saturday night, which might have saved some embarrassment for Kau - and, despite the honour, for the artist himself.
"It did go gold six times - and that is a lot of sales for an artist in this country," Hofmeyr said on Monday.
"People have ignored and overlooked the power of the Afrikaans music market.
"It is huge," he said.
Someone who wasn't surprised at Hofmeyr's Sama recognition was EMI managing director Irving Schlosberg. Hofmeyr records on the EMI label.
He said: "The Afrikaans market is the most understated in our music industry.
"I think this award is a statement of pure democracy. The category is based on record sales from the beginning of January 2003 to December 31 2003."
Bowline Music spokesperson Liny Kruger, the promoter for a number of top Afrikaans artists, said: "The interest in Afrikaans music has grown in the last two years.
"This is also to do with Afrikaans music festivals around the country, which have made artists more visible.
"The Afrikaans-speaking public are very supportive of these artists. They love their local music."
Hofmeyr is not the only multi-platinum-selling Afrikaans artist.
Others include Theuns Jordaan - his two albums have sold more than 120 000 copies each, and are still selling - and Kurt Darren and Juanita du Plessis.

Protesters outside the Tote Hotel early last year. The Tote reopened just months after its high-profile closure. Photo: James Boddington
When I began working as a musician in Fremantle some 35 years ago, I earned around $600 per week. I had a regular gig and it was ongoing. Nowadays I'd think myself very lucky to make that sort of wage playing music. It's usually much less. And compared to many musicians, I'm doing very well.
Last year in Melbourne, the city's entire live music industry rallied to get the Victorian government to recognise the industry's cultural and economic contribution to the state.
This town's reputation as the best live music scene in the country was trumpeted proudly throughout the media. Much was made of a loved pub, the Tote, being forced to close as a live music venue thanks to restrictive licensing laws. It became the symbol of the struggle to maintain a vibrant music scene in a heartless environment of profiteers, bureaucrats and dollar-driven decisions.
Thanks, however, to the industry figures and musos who took part in the rally, public awareness of the importance of the industry grew and became something that government would notice. Thanks to the rally, the Tote reopened as a music venue just a few months after its high-profile closure. It was considered a victory for live music in this state.
And, one year after the Tote's historic reopening, what of the musicians who create this live music so cherished by the state? Are they able to get a guaranteed fee for playing in this victorious, symbolic pub?
Err, actually . . . no.
Why is it that after dedicating my life to playing music, I now earn less than ever?
People like to blame digital technology for the ease of obtaining music free, doing its makers out of their income. Technology will always change things - it is said that some theatre organists committed suicide with the advent of the talkies. Maybe true, sadly, but there are still organists.
I blame attitudes.
''It must be wonderful doing what you love for a living,'' people often say to me.
Or, ''Put yourself in my shoes, I've got a business to run'', which is a common refrain to working musicians from those who don't want to pay much for their services. The attitude behind this remark is taken as some kind of given and perfectly acceptable.
Well, I am in your shoes, Mr Publican. I've also got a business to run. The business of paying the sound guy, fellow musos, transport, rent. I've walked more than a mile in your shoes and I'm still not where you are.
Another thing I've heard said too many times is ''Why don't you get a real job?'' as if it's too much fun to be a real job.
Others will tell you to treat your music like a hobby and if you get paid for it, that's the icing on the cake. This is a big part of the problem; in my view there are so many people who are prepared to treat it like a hobby, that the professional musician is undermined.
Dodgy preconceptions dog other professions: nurses will work unhealthy shifts for inordinately low wages because they ''have a desire to help the sick''; teachers ''only work during school hours and they get all those holidays'' - students' reports seemingly writing themselves . . . so they don't need to be paid as much as people from the private sector; CEOs ''are all psychopaths so we have to let them have seven-figure salaries . . . '' I could go on.
What I'm driving at is that the way certain professions are treated seems to be dictated by entrenched preconceptions. It seems perfectly reasonable to many that music publishers, record labels and publicans have a business to run and should be compensated for their work.
Yesterday, the government released its report into the live music industry's annual economic contribution to the state, which was calculated at more than $500 million.
It is time attitudes changed to more fairly benefit those without whom there would be no music industry - the musicians.

|Metastatic coagulopathic subdural hematoma: A dismal prognosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22754725 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Dural metastases have been found in about 8-9% of patients who died of cancer, in most autopsy series. Dural metastases presenting with chronic subdural hematoma are rare, with only about 55 cases reported in the literature.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We discuss the case of a 72 year old gentleman with prostate cancer who presented with a chronic subdural hematoma which was drained surgically. He was found to have disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and recurrence of the subdural hematoma for which further drainage was required. After the second drainage of the chronic subdural hematoma, dural metastases were diagnosed from the pathology specimens.
CONCLUSION: On reviewing the literature, 25 cases of dural metastases with chronic subdural hematoma and coagulopathy were found. These cases were characterized by the fact that they had a very poor clinical outcome in spite of surgical drainage. This combination could be a distinct entity and its recognition is important to guide management of this rare condition.

Your neck brace has turned into quite the sexy accessory. Are you getting a lot of compliments on it?
"I do get a lot of compliments on it! And the neck brace is really special to me too, because it has that same significance that I was talking about with 'Undefeated.' It's turning something ugly into something beautiful. When I used to look in the mirror when I was wearing the medical brace, it would just bring me down more and make me feel sick. Having this new one, I can dress up and look nice -- it's working well for me."

When the plane began to taxi in, a policeman hoisted a bullhorn and announced, "If you move in while the plane is not stopped the plane will not stop and will head to the exit." That aborted a rustle in the crowd, but the thrust forward started up again upon the closer approach of the American Airlines turbojet. The policeman raised his horn and, frowning, he said, "This is not the plane you're interested in. This is only staff members of the party. This is not the plane carrying Mrs. King. We'll let you know when the plane you're interested in comes in."
As absurd as that was, most of the reporters seemed to go for it, and the rustle subsided again. Some of Martin Luther King's soul relations, however, were not deceived. A young Negro rushed forward, but retreated when a Guardsman advanced his way only to be shoved again in the direction of the Guardsman by a woman who shouted, "You better not hit him, either!" Squaring his feet, the Guardsman said, "Go on back, boy, please," and the young Negro retreated again, more slowly this time.
The crowd bucked and murmured with frustration as half an hour went by and delegations of people close to King moved on and off the plane. Even the dullest reporter began to sense that this continuing traffic was strange if Mrs. King was indeed not aboard the plane. And abruptly, someone claimed to have sighted her delicate, handsome head for a moment at one of the windows. Two girls gripped each other by the shoulders and cried. A television network man jabbed a thumb into the back of his cameraman, then pointed the thumb at the girls, thereby directing him to photograph the scene.
Spokesmen for Dr. King, for the sanitation workers' union, for the SCLC passed in such frequency between the crowd and the plane that reporters, even the local ones, were momentarily confused. "Who's that man? That, er, that Negro." "What's the fellow's name, never can remember, hey you!" And "hey, you!" a television reporter kept on saying whenever someone who looked quotable came within hailing distance.
At some point, a white Cadillac limousine rolled out partway to the strip, and Ramsay Clark, the attorney general, emerged from it. He was lost immediately in a sea of men, cameras, microphones, and cables. Soon, a federal marshal rescued Clark and escorted him back to the car. The word was passed that Clark had spoken of "substantial evidence" in solving the murder. "Yah!" a Negro said scornfully. "They'll get him. Them whitey big shots'll get him. Sure!"
Then, for perhaps the only moment that morning, cynicism was altogether muted — or rather drowned out. For two women began singing a familiar hymn and soon a full chorus of brave and strong voices were booming out of the bridge. "Deep in my heart, I do believe, we shall overcome someday." For a full fifteen minutes they sang, and while they did, another white Cadillac limousine drove onto the runway. Heads craned to see which whitey big shot this might be, but it was then that the bronze casket inside caught some of the sun's glitter, and the crowd, giving out something like a moan, surged forward. Someone began the verse "Black and white together . . ." in its proper sequence, but stronger voices substituted, "We are not afraid . . ." And the crowd, not necessarily black and white together, kept on advancing toward the hearse.
Anything might have happened, but Ralph Abernathy, the slight mustachioed vice president of the SCLC, then stepped in front of the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen," he pleaded, "I urge you to move back behind the line. After I've finished, it will be entirely proper for you to sing that anthem."
Abernathy looked somehow shrunken, insignificant, but that might have been the effect of grief. With Dr. King's death, he had acceded to the leadership of the SCLC. In his gentle way, he spoke of the past and of Dr. King's legacy, and reminded his new followers that he and "many, many others from all over the country" would be back Monday for another march. "And now, I want you to be very, very dignified as you sing," Abernathy concluded.
Dr. King had led the Montgomery bus boycotters in this hymn back in 1956, at the beginning of his career; it was, one could say, his very own. Two nights before, Dr. King had told the throng which greeted him at this very airport, "I may not make it with you, but we as a people will get to the mountaintop!" Now the hoarse chorus of "We Shall Overcome Someday" became a thunderous last tribute to him. Shortly afterward, the casket was lifted on the plane, and as the jet rose toward Atlanta, a sudden quiet fell on the airfield. A young Negro faced the distance into which the plane was vanishing and raised a fist into the sky, his knuckles pointing back toward the reporters. And that was all the story at Memphis Municipal Airport.
Back at the Lorraine Motel that afternoon, Ike Pappas of CBS stood in front of Room 306, giving his camera crew down on the parking lot instructions on how to shoot him for best effect. Two members of a National Education Television crew, one white, one Negro, had moved into place beside the CBS men. Visibly irritated, Pappas leaned down from the balcony and jabbed his finger at the NET crewmen. "Hey, I don't like that. What's going on?" The NET crew moved aside, and Pappas, after fingering his foulard tie and adjusting the sleeves of his expensive sharkskin suit, began to rehearse his prepared remarks in a pleasant, low intonation.
On the lot, not far from the cameramen, were several baleful-looking young Negroes, all of whom wore jackets bearing the words "Invaders" in large, white-felt letters. The Invaders, a sort of local Black Panther group which disdained moderation, had rampaged out of the mortified Dr. King's control during the march he led a week ago. They had caused most of the damage on Beale Street.
One of Dr. King's friends, standing down the balcony from Pappas, looked at the young men below, then at Pappas, and nervously running his fingers along the seam of his topcoat, he whispered to a reporter, "They got a saying in niggertown, 'When it's cool, we're cool.' 'Spect it's gone get hot by Monday." He would have said more, but Pappas was into his spiel, and in deference, not to him, but to the ghost of Room 306, everyone became quiet as Pappas, to demonstrate Dr. King's position when the shots were fired, bent toward the parking lot below, more or less in the direction of the Invaders, who were standing motionless in a pack, silent, very silent, more silent than anyone else on the lot.

ACC schools, including Pitt, grant TV rights to league
ACC Videos
With Pitt ready to join July 1, the ACC took a bold step Monday toward stabilizing its corner of the collegiate athletics landscape.
All 15 current and future ACC members signed a grant of media rights that will force any school wishing to leave to forfeit to the conference its TV revenue for the remaining 14 years of its contract with ESPN.
Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson said the agreement, first proposed by conference commissioner John Swofford, solidifies a league he believes already was strong.
The agreement, which includes all sports, essentially would cost a departing institution $330 million through the 2026-27 academic year, including $20 million per year in TV revenue and a $50 million exit fee.
"There has been some speculation that one school or another might consider something else," Pederson said. "But when I sat in a room with the other 14 (institutions), I never sensed any of that.
"This not only legally binds one another, but it puts some teeth into what we have been saying that we are together, and we are going to be moving forward together."
Pederson said every school's general counsel examined the agreement.
"Everybody is comfortable that we know exactly what we are signing," he said.
Swofford praised conference presidents for acting to strengthen the conference.
"The council of presidents has shown tremendous leadership in insuring the ACC is extremely well positioned with unlimited potential," he said in a statement.
Among several schools reported to be considering other options was Florida State.
FSU president Eric J. Barron tried to put that speculation to rest, and he raised the possibility of an ACC TV network that might be mirrored after the highly successful Big Ten Network.
"Florida State University's vote in this matter demonstrates FSU's commitment to the Atlantic Coast Conference and constitutes a further affirmation of the ACC brand," Barron said in a statement. "We are also very pleased that we will be moving forward on the next phase of developing an ACC network."
Along with Maryland, Florida State last year voted against raising the exit fee from $20 million. Monday's vote was unanimous.
The ACC is expanding from 12 to 15 members, with Pitt and Syracuse set to join at the end of the current school year and Notre Dame entering in all sports but football. Next year, Louisville will join, and Maryland will depart for the Big Ten.
When the ACC first negotiated its contract with ESPN, each member school was due about $17 million per year in TV revenue.
Pederson said the addition of Notre Dame "enhanced" the media rights agreement. He didn't quantify the enhancement, but ESPN has reported the deal is expected to increase to at least $20 million.
Pederson said there has been no talk of further expansion.
"We think it's a pretty good number," he said.
The ACC becomes the fourth power conference with a grant of media rights, joining the Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12.

Youre on the list.
Thats enough, in America, to justify security personnel to detain you, search you. Also to search your papers, computer, hard drive, and cell phone.
If you ask, thats what you may be told, if you are told anything, while theyre holding you in rooms reserved for Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Americas airports in the progressive era of the Obama administration. Sometimes, agents say they dont know.
The machinery of the state has decided that any rights you formerly had under the Constitution dont apply anymore. Thats because were in a war against terrorism and the enemy can be anyone. Because anyone may be the enemy, everyone is to be suspected.
Security personnel will search you because youre on a list. They will detain you because you are on a list. They need no probable cause, no warrant, no reason at all.
When Obama spoke of his great desire for transparency in government, he evidently had in mind that your life, your work, your possessions, and your own thoughts would be made transparent to the governments agents.
Secrecy is, of course, a necessity for undemocratic governments, especially if they pretend to be otherwise. Of all the ugly surprises Obama had in store for us, this is the worst and most dangerous.
Under Obama, the very rules which protect and sustain a democracy have been almost completely subverted. It cannot be accidental.
There are two applications of secrecy rules in a democracy. One is that the state, while necessarily engaging in sensitive matters, cannot generally or broadly try to deprive the people of information involving any of its operations. The other is that the public is safe from the intrusive eye of the government, which includes police agencies, and free to conduct their lives as free people and without fear.
In America, these rules are not simply fallen into negligent disuse but under relentless assault by the government.
There are lists. Initially, there was the no fly list, but there are many others. Your appearance on one of more of them may have nothing whatever to do with you or anything you have done. You are not told of this or afforded an opportunity to challenge it.
Two groups already finding their number on search lists are the lawyers for Guantanamo detainees and independent journalists. The effect is obvious: searching the notes, computers, phones, and other repositories of information compromises the ability of the lawyer or journalist to do his or her work. Clearly, thats the idea.
As Amy Goodman points out, seizing this information turns the lawyer or journalist into an agent of the state.
The governments computers are searching your e-mails, targeting keywords. They know whatever they wish to know about you. They have their address book if they want it, your web search history, your facebook friends. You have no privacy in Obamas America.
On the other hand, whatever the government is doing is secret and you are not to know about it. The Obama Justice Department is currently engaged in two major initiatives. One of these is the plan to indict, extradite, and prosecute Julian Assange. They want to stop WikiLeaks and anyone else who harbors similar notions. The second is its ongoing court fight to withhold government information from the public. Several victims of torture have had their cases dismissed when courts agreed with the Attorney General that documentation of what was done to them, and by whom, could not be disclosed without endangering national security.
We are governed now by faceless people, security personnel, a $55 billion Department of Homeland Security which didnt even exist a dozen years ago.
Do you feel more secure, or less? Is this what freedom feels like, or is it something else? Is this what you voted for? Is this what you were promised?

POSTED: 12:15 p.m. HST, Jan 4, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 2:10 p.m. HST, Jan 4, 2013
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. >> ESPN football analysts David Pollack and Desmond Howard weighed in today with thoughts on linebacker Manti Te'o as his No. 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-0) try to upset the Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1) in the Discover BCS National Championship game Monday at Sun Life Stadium.
"He's going to be pivotal," Pollack said of Te'o, a Punahou product from Laie who was second in the Heisman Trophy voting. "He's a great player (but) he's going to have his hands full."
Pollack said a potential matchup of Te'o and Alabama's All-American guard Chance Warmack could affect the outcome.
"Chance Warmack is the best offensive lineman in college football for my money," said Pollack, who was a three-time All-American defensive lineman at Georgia.
Howard, the 1991 Heisman Trophy winner as a receiver and kick returner at Michigan, said Te'o is "one of the most dominant defensive players in the game, if not the. He's fast, he's quick, he's physical, he's smart. He has pretty good hands, too. … He's the complete package."
Notre Dame's defense, led by Te'o, allowed a nation's best 10.3 points per game and just two rushing touchdowns.
Alabama is 19th nationally with 224.6 rushing yards per game.

Heitzman continues winning ways
Eudora's Paul Heitzman added to his long list of accomplishments as he won the Masters National Championship 5K race in Carlsbad, Calif. on April 1.
Heitzman, who was running the Carlsbad race for the first time, won the 70-74 division of the race with a time of 19:54.
According to Heitzman, the race is billed as the world's fastest 5K because Kenyan runner Sammy Kipketer, 19, broke a world record during the race in 2000 with a time of 13 minutes.
Kipketer made a strong effort to break his own record this year and was ahead of last year's pace, Heitzman said.
The crowd was cheering so loudly when he approached the finish line that he thought he would break the record easily and he slowed down to enjoy the moment. Consequently, Kipketer tied his last year's record.
A new record would have brought him a $10,000 bonus in addition to the $5,000 he received for winning the race.
Heitzman had the opportunity to witness the event.
"It was really exciting to watch a world record being tied," he said. "My race was over and I was able to watch and enjoy the elite race. I think I was as excited about seeing the world record tied as I was about winning my division in the master's race that took place earlier."

Seth Paul
- Filed Under
When Seth Paul left his job as an assistant coach at the University of Indianapolis to coach high school baseball, he had a thought in his mind about the kind of head coaching position he would ultimately like to find. He wanted to be at a larger high school with a big athletic department, but one with a sense of tight-knit community despite its size.
He wanted a school that was passionate about its football team, and saw that passion trickle on to its other programs, including the baseball team he would coach.
Three years later, Paul believes he has found that job. He was approved Tuesday night as the ...

Current US Special Operations Forces Spec Ops Post 9
The first Special Forces Group formed was the 10th and it was oriented toward Eastern Europe as the Cold War enveloped the world. The reason is was labeled the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) was to fool the Russians into thinking there were at least nine others like it, so even the unit designation was designed to deceive. Many of the early members were men from those countries who joined the American army as a way to gain citizenship and in the hope of one day freeing their home countries. The American Special Forces motto, De Oppresso Liber, came from these early days: to free the oppressed.
As the Cold War became hot in other places around the world through proxies, Special Forces changed its orientation to deal with this development. Among the first Americans in Vietnam were Special Forces advisers. They were there to train indigenous forces in counter-insurgency, the opposite of what they had been preparing for in the 10th Special Forces Group. It was a case of 'reverse thinking' something we will discuss later. The first official casualty of the Vietnam War was a Special Forces officer.
As Vietnam heated up, Special Forces began receiving more attention. In 1961 President Kennedy visited Fort Bragg. He inspected the famed 82nd Airborne Division and then the Special Forces. Impressed by what he saw and by what he had been hearing about Special Forces, the President sent a letter to the Army indicating his support for the previously unauthorized Green Beret, saying it was a:
". . . symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom."
John F. Kennedy
Nowadays the two terms, Green Beret and Special Forces, have become almost interchangeable. Please note there is a difference between Special Forces (SF) and Special Operations Forces (SOF). The latter is the overarching name for all the elite forces in our military, which I will diagram later.
In addition to the Green Beret, there are two other distinctive emblems of Special Forces: the Patch and the Crest.
The patch: The arrowhead shape of the patch represents the craft and stealth of Native Americans, America's first warriors. The upturned dagger represents unconventional warfare missions. The three lightning bolts represent blinding speed and the three methods of infiltration– air, land and sea (if we get transporters, we'll probably add a fourth). The gold represents constancy and inspiration and the teal blue represents all the branch assignments from which SF is drawn. The Special Forces tab on the top was introduced in the early 1980s to distinguish those soldiers who had successfully completed the Special Forces Qualification Course.
The crest: The crossed arrows again link back to the Native Americans who were the original unconventional warriors on the North American continent. The fighting knife represents the character of the special operations solider: straight and true. Along the base is the motto of Special Forces: to free the oppressed. Crossed arrows also became branch insignia for Special Forces officers in 1987– I traded in my crossed rifles of the Infantry for crossed arrows when I was at Ft. Benning at the Infantry Officer Advanced Course, which made for an interesting time. One thing to remember about being elite is that those who are conventional often do not respect or like you.
One of the greatest misperceptions about Special Forces is that they are cold blooded killers, 'snake-eaters' whose primary mission is to attack the enemy. In reality, Special Forces primary mission is to teach others. And that teaching runs the spectrum from combat operations to civil engineering, to medical training.
Before we get into the most recent history of Special Forces, it might help to have a few definitions to understand the World of Special Forces:
Current Special Operations Forces
All elite units from all the military services consisting primarily of the following:
The Army
Special Forces: Will be covered in more detail later.
- Rangers: The 75th Ranger Regiment consisting of three battalions (approximately 800 men each). The Army's elite light infantry strike force. Capable of raids and short duration, intense missions. The battalions are stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA; Hunter Army Airfield, GA; and Ft. Benning, GA.
- Task Force 160, Special Operations Aviation Brigade: Also known as the Nightstalkers. Four battalions of helicopters. They fly three types, all modified for special operations: the MH-60 Nighthawk, a modified Blackhawk helicopter; the MH-53, a larger type of helicopter primarily used for carrying troops and supplies; and the MH-6, also known as a 'little bird' that can be both a gunship and carry a small number of men. Battalions are stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY; Hunter Army Airfield, GA and Joint Base McChord-Lewis in Washington State.
- Delta Force was formed out of the Army, but now reports directly to the Department of Defense, not the Army. This is the military's elite counter-terrorist unit. It is stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC.
The Navy
- SEALs, which stands for Sea, Air, Land. They are technically responsible for operations in water and up to the high water mark (although Osama Bin Laden was way above the high water mark). There are two SEAL Naval Special Warfare Groups (NSWG), one at Coronado, CA and the other at Little Creek, VA. SEAL Team Six is the Navy's elite counter-terrorist team. There are some other elements that are considered special operations such as Swimmer Delivery Vehicle units.
The Air Force
- The 1st Special Operations Wing, SOW, which flies the following:
- MC-130 Combat Talon. A modified C-130 Hercules transport with all weather capability and Fulton Recovery system. Flies low to the ground to infiltrate enemy territory.
- HH-53 Pave Low Helicopter. A modified CH-53 Jolly Green Giant with all weather, all terrain capability. This was designed out of the failure at Desert One.
- AC-130 Spectre Gunship. A modified C-130 Hercules transport designed to be an airborne gun platform with a 105mm howitzer, 40 mm Bofors cannon, and two 20 mm cannon. All these weapons fire from the craft's left side as the plane circles
The Marines technically do not have a special operations unit as they feel the entire Corps is special. If you ask any Marine they will tell you this most emphatically. However, I just recently saw where the Marine Corps is proposing forming a special unit to handle counter-terrorism.
Inside of Army Special Forces there are five active duty Special Forces groups each consisting of three battalions with three companies in each with five A-teams in each company.
1st Group is headquartered in Ft. Lewis, Washington with one battalion forward deployed on Okinawa. It is responsible for the Far East and southeast Asia.
3rd Group is headquartered at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. It is responsible for the Caribbean and Africa.
5th Group is headquartered at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. It is responsible for the Middle East and Southwest Asia.
7th Group is headquartered at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. It is responsible for Middle and South America.
10th Group is headquartered at Ft. Carson, Colorado. It is responsible for Europe. It has one battalion forward deployed near Stuttgart, Germany.

Is it Kacey Musgraves or Joshua Stevens going home tonight? Let's find out.
Opening the show was Little Big Town.
The first contestant to perform is Meg Allison. She had a rough start, but improved by the end. I gave her a 5. Randy says she did a remarkable job, and asks everyone to have a prayer for the writer of the song she sang. "Queen" Anastasia Brown says everything was spot on, but the performance wasn't quite good enough for her. Blake says she gets better each week.
Second is David St. Romain, my favorite male singer this season on the show. Before singing, he plays a harmonica! "All Night Long" was the song, but I thought he was lackluster. I gave him a 4. Blake says David's task is to sing to the girls. Queen Anastasia says the song choice was confusing and he didn't move, but he worked it out. Randy said he started slowly, but had a good finish.
Third is Joshua Stevens, so I'm wrong in picking the loser this time, and that may be bad news for Kacey Musgraves. He was flat for a bit, but this was his best performance so far. I gave him an 8. Queen Anastasia says he did it visually, but the vocals weren't that ruthless. Blake says he nailed it. Randy thought his song choice was excellent.
Fourth is Zac Hacker. The lyrics were great, but he could have been louder. I gave him a 7.
Randy says he stayed true to his roots, and he loves what he does on the stage, but says he still needs to choose a familiar song. Blake says he looked like a star. Queen Anastasia loved it, but isn't sure if he'll win.
Fifth is Angela Hacker. She was great, but the tone of the song made me wince a bit. So, I gave it a 9. Queen Anastasia says her talent is so unique. Randy says he made him feel what she's singing. Blake says when her record comes out, he'll be the first one to buy it.
We're down to Kacey and Whitney. And as you might expect, the judges won out as Kacey Musgraves was eliminated. Final performer is Whitney Duncan. She sings "First Cut is the Deepest" by Sherly Crow. I thought this was THE WORST PERFORMANCE of this season, and possibly ever. I gave her the lowest score possible, a 1. Blake says she was pitchy. Randy notices she made no eye contact with the audience. Queen Anastasia says she did OK.
My scores after three weeks:
Angela Hacker- 29
David St. Romain- 23
Meg Allison- 22
Zac Hacker- 21
Joshua Stevens- 19
Whitney Duncan- 15
The judges will pick the songs for the contestants next week.

Corn Flakes Breakfast – Wholesome & Healthy
Breakfast, they say, is the most important meal of the day. However, in today's fast paced life when the entire house is rushing to get to work or to school early in the morning, breakfast is the one meal most conveniently missed. Multitasking and switching between early mornings chores is the need of the hour in such a situation. What is necessary here is a wholesome breakfast which is easy to cook and requires minimum time to be consumed. Breakfast cereals are your answer to a healthy, light and easy to cook diet.
Corn flakes were accidentally developed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg who was an Adventist and a supporter of sexual abstinence. He was working on obtaining a strictly vegetarian diet for his patients when he came up with the idea of corn flakes. It was believed that products like caffeine, tobacco and alcohol increased passion while bland food items like corn flakes had an anti-aphrodisiacal effect. This theory was even applied in the U.S. Army.
Corn flakes consumed with a cup of milk and some freshly cut fruits have proven to be an extremely nutritious and healthy breakfast cereal. One bowl of corn flakes taken with the same quantity of milk renders 150 calories.
Corn flakes have often come under the scanner for not being fibrous enough. However this deficiency can easily be taken care of by adding fresh fruit and nuts to your bowl of corn flakes.
Corn flakes are breakfast cereals made by combining milled corn with sugar. The dough is rolled into very thin sheets and then baked in the oven to make flakes. The major ingredients include milled corn, sugar, iron, high fructose corn syrup and vitamins (A, B, C, D, and E). Other ingredients may vary with manufacturers.
Recent study, carried out by the Purdue University, has shown that products like corn flakes made from milled corn have various health benefits. They not only help protect against cancer, they are also a very rich source of antioxidants like carotenoids. Carotenoid is a yellow pigment found in corn and vegetables like carrots, tomatoes and spinach. This pigment is known for its association with the prevention cardiovascular and macular diseases, besides cancer. Milled corn products are believed to enable easier utilization of vitamins and nutrients as compared to their non-milled counterparts.
Thus, corn flakes are a wholesome and light breakfast for the weight conscious health freaks who don't have enough time to spare in the mornings for the most important meal of the day.

At 11.38am' the rand was bid at R8.6955 to the US dollar from Thursday's close of R8.7034. It was bid at R11.0761 to the euro from its previous close of R11.0873 and at R13.8972 against sterling from R13.8956 before.

Cydney Moreau was so confident that she had the ability to help somebody's track and field program on the collegiate level that she was more than willing to walk-on in order to generate an opportunity for herself.
But after a solid showing in the state meet, Moreau doesn't have to concern herself with walking on anywhere, because she has signed a national letter of intent to continue her track and field career at Southeastern in Hammond.
"I'm really excited about being able to compete in college," Moreau said. "I didn't know if I would get a scholarship or if anyone would give me an opportunity, ...

(Jewish Journal) An unusual silence has blanketed the circumstances leading up to music icon Stevie Wonder's canceled performance at the Friends of Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) Western Region Gala on Dec. 6 at the Hyatt Regency in Century City.
The 25-time Grammy winner was set to appear for an expected 1,200 FIDF supporters, including dignitaries from the United States and Israel as well as friends in Hollywood, when he suddenly canceled on Nov. 29. A press release issued by the FIDF national office last week reported "representatives of the performer cited a recommendation from the United Nations to withdraw his participation given Wonder's involvement with the organization."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Tennessee Highway Patrol sergeant has resigned rather than be fired after an investigation revealed misconduct that included having sex while on duty.
The THP announced Wednesday that 45-year-old James Sells resigned following an internal affairs investigation that also found he misused state property and equipment and was negligent in performing his duties.
Sells worked in the criminal investigations division in Cookeville.
It's one of several recent misconduct incidents involving the THP.
A Cookeville-based trooper fired in June was later indicted on drunken driving and weapons charges, while two colleagues were disciplined for not reporting the incident.
A Bradley County trooper is charged in the accidental shooting death of his 3-year-old granddaughter.
A former Pickett County trooper pleaded guilty in July to having sex with a minor.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

once you have it all running like you want all there is to it is to activate horm:
(4) Enable hibernation
> powercfg.exe /h ON
(5) Disable false bootstat warnings
> bcdedit.exe /set {current} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
(6). Enable EWF on all partitions
> ewfmgr.exe /all /enable
(7) Restart to have the command take effect
> shutdown.exe /r /t 0
(8). Activate HORM
> ewfmgr.exe C: /activatehorm
(9). Capture the HORM state by hibernating the machine once
> shutdown.exe /h
(10) Resume the machine and start using HORM. At this point each restart should result in a resume from the state captured in the previous step
(11) If you wish to deactivate HORM
> ewfmgr.exe C: -deactivatehorm
(12) If you wish to disable ewf (disable HORM first)
> ewfmgr.exe /all /disable

Perfekt Earth is a company that has always been keenly aware of the relationship between healthy top soil and healthy produce and plants. In an effort to combat the damage to soil caused by pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and erosion, the company has released its Perfekt Earth Soil Enhancing Formula.
The product has garnered amazing results in the form of bigger, healthier, and better tasting fruits and vegetables, and healthier non-food related plants. Most importantly, it is helping to restore and honor the connection between the earth and those who inhabit it.
Perfekt Earth's mission of replenishing and restoring top soil began with Dr. M. Andrew Johnson, whose research led him to create a supplement rich in the natural minerals and nutrients plants receive from healthy soil. Healthy soil means healthier produce, which in turn leads to healthier people and animals. It is a connection that is the inspiration for every bottle of Perfekt Earth.
Perfekt Earth features the following:
"In order to live the healthiest lives possible, we must return to the soil what it has lost in order to benefit from its essential nutrients," explained Perfekt Earth's Cathy Miller. "We are proud of our product's ability to bring balance back to the earth's soil, and of the healthier and better tasting produce Perfekt Earth is helping to produce every day."
Working toward a healthier global community and helping to eradicate the problem of world hunger are the ultimate goals for those at Perfekt Earth. To that end, the company plans to expand its support and avocation for human causes moving forward. In the meantime, Perfekt Earth continues to promote healthier living at home through the use of its soil enhancing formula.
