ISLAMABAD – It is a painful irony of climate change that those least responsible for the problem are often the most exposed to its ravages. And if any country can claim to be the victim of this climate injustice, it is Pakistan. As world leaders prepare to meet at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, the country is reeling from the aftereffects of devastating floods that damaged buildings, destroyed crops, swept away bridges, and killed 238 people.

BERLIN – The diplomatic effort to forge an international agreement to mitigate climate change is undergoing a fundamental shift. The top-down approach that has guided the effort since 1992 is slowly being replaced by a bottom-up model.

BRUSSELS – Many Europeans feel like their countries are under assault, as huge numbers of migrants flow across their borders. Whether they are being exposed to refugees firsthand, or just seeing images of them splashed across newspaper pages, Europeans are well aware of the vast numbers of desperate people trying to enter European Union territory by any means possible. But this awareness has yet to translate into a unified response.

LONDON – To solve the problem of antimicrobial resistance, the world needs not only new drugs, but also new behavior – by all seven billion of us. Because of the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, common infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis are becoming increasingly resistant to existing treatments; in some cases, they have become completely immune.

STONY BROOK – Whenever I hear about Islamic State militants bulldozing archaeological treasures and smashing sculptures and statues, I think about the assault on the scientific process being carried out by US politicians. Our scientific infrastructure – the principal means by which we understand the world, identify and ward off threats, and pursue a better future – is coming under attack by lawmakers who regard science as an obstacle to achieving their goals, and thus as a target that must be eliminated.

POSH PRESENTS: There's a leak among the elf colony: WWD was tipped off on at least one thing David Beckham has bought for his wife, Victoria, for Christmas. David put in a call this week to Harrods to order two pairs of silk pajamas by Olivia von Halle.
Newcastle, England-born von Halle was working in China as a trend forecaster when she was inspired by the lounging pajamas worn by Coco Chanel in the Twenties to create something luxurious and glamorous that she — and her friends — would want to relax in at home. She returned to London in 2010 with a bulging order book and launched her line, which is now stocked retailers including Bra Smyth, Faire Frou Frou and Nancy Meyer in the U.S.; at Harrods and Fenwick in the U.K., and at Brown Thomas in Ireland. Prices start at 260 pounds, or $422 at current exchange.

Ryanair staff are not always charming! However, the flights are regular, efficient and on time (most of the time.)
Sometimes the lack of common sense applied by Ryanair is grating. If my small bag fits inside the large bag, it is lots of faff to take things in and out, however, I do see that the rules need to be followed!

As an outsider, let me just say that this is one weird state. There is not
another venue, city, or state where such a public forum would take place.
Literally ONLY in Utah.
And Tory, the only real grumps I have met here are non-LDS and former LDS who seem to resent anything (be it news or sports or education or George Osmond's obituary, etc.) Mormon and make every issue into a religious debate.
Grow up people. You are amazingly funny. Only in Utah indeed would someone grumble about a public prayer. You really might like it better in Tehran where you would have something real to grinch about.

These comments are always good for a laugh. There are the nice uplifting, positive comments and then there are the negative, depressing comments. Why do the losers that try to tear down those that believe in the LDS faith always come to these comment boards? It's like they are searching for a way to bash the LDS. Just go play by yourselves! We have heard all your ridiculous reasons why you hate what the LDS are about. Your reasons are so lame!

I am just amazed that people actually take the time to complain about something thathas not ever hurt anyone, is not a big deal, and has been done in the world since Adam and Eve. Actually probably before that. Praying, Wow,! I cannot believe that there were any comments let alone twenty something. Wow a Mormon praying in public, especially in Utah!, that is shocking don't you think. A big deal should be made after something like that, don't you think, a prayer to God. Uhm I am just amazed

Hello everyone! I happen to have lived in Utah, Southern New York, and Arizona, and guess what! All of those places have public religious expression. the reason the LDS prayers are ended in the name of Christ is becuase that is who they worship, and that is who answers the prayer. I don't think it would be appropriate to close it some other way, huh?! I think we ought to call attention to the fact that yes, he was invited. With how busy he is, I doubt he offered. It's ok for people to have different religious beliefs. Just try to find the common ground and work with that. In general, we all believe in allowing people to choose what they want to believe, and we all believe in being good and decent to other people. That's a good place to start...build some understanding, and you can still hold on to your beliefs without being unfriendly.

To finish...since there were too many words to fit in that last comment
I suppose someone could find something wrong with my comments, in their minds, but that's ok, I understand things can be misunderstood.
President Monson is a wonderful person. He just wants to bless and help others lives as he is able to. I think that is the best intention you can have in what you do, even if others have trouble with it.
I will say that God will support the righteous causes that happen in the world, no matter who it comes from, so the LDS memnbers and anyone else who is doung something good, he will support. Personally , I would prefer to always be in his side. I hope everyone can appreciate another person trying to do good, regardless of who it is from or to.

Thanks for the insights. It invariably takes an outsider to help Utahns (of
all persuasions) to see how small-minded and cliquesh and provincial we really
As George's son noted earlier-only in Utah could something as petty as a public prayer become part of a debate fueled by the hatred of a relative minority (albeit loud) of those opposed to the dominant religion.
Really hard to understand the mentality of those tortured souls who seem to dispise anything and everything to do with Mormons. It would be a most interesting psychological study.

I was at the dedication of the library. A leader of another(not LDS) faith
offered an opening prayer. We had religious and state leaders there of different
faiths. The bottom line for me is that so many people who have busy lives
themselves took time out of their day to come down to Orem, Utah to recognize
this moment in history. That day was amazing for me and many others in
attendance. So, the ultimate bottom line for me is not who offered the
dedicatory prayer or even that a prayer was offered, it is that we are now a
university and people of all faiths and denominations can come here and receive
a high quality education with a beautiful state of the art building that stands
as a symbol of what is to come for Utah Valley university. As a student
attending this institution I cannot see any harm in asking a higher being for a
little extra help in keeping me and those I attend school with safe. It didn't
bring harm to anyone in attendance that day to have him give the prayer; for me,
it enhanced the importance of the building and of the day.

To those so easily offended and so quick to complain. Get a life. Your complaint is that somebody in America (yes Utah is part of America) has done something by invitation that has been happening since the beginning of America. And somehow with your small minds and lack of tolerance we should agree with your bitter behavior. No thanks. There are better things in life than political correctness (which is rarely correct) as your guide.

AUSTRALIA: Australians warned to focus on niche for US breakthrough
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 20 July 2001
New Australian entrants to the US wine market must focus on niche market sales, the Australian wine industry has been told.
Mr John Grant, executive president of Kendall-Jackson Winery and former marketing director with Southcorp, told the ANZ Australian Wine Marketing Conference that new entrants should seek opportunities with regional and niche suppliers rather than trying to develop relationships with distributors whose books were full.
He said the US market was becoming more profitable as people were "trading up". Small and medium wineries should build Australia's regional awareness, focus on signature wines, such as Shiraz, aim at the higher end categories, target the restaurant market and utilise small regional distributors, he said.
Jonathan Scott, the executive manager of the Australian Wine Export Council, said a clear message from the conference was that over the next three years marketers were going to face a tougher environment in which to convert opportunities into sales and brand outcomes.
The industry was told its challenges would come from a synchronised global economic slowdown and more aggressive wine marketing programs from its competitors such as France.
"Capitalising on the strength of the Australian personality, promoting wine as part of everyday life, not a formal occasion beverage, being aware that female wine consumption is increasing and that there is a predicted move towards lower-alcohol, food-friendly wines were good take-home messages for the industry from the conference," said Mr Scott.
In terms of the industry's performance since the launch of its marketing strategy The Marketing Decade in 2000, Mr Scott said the first year's sales targets had been exceeded and that a review of the demand outlook confirms that opportunities were still there for Australian wine.
With regard to supply, Mr Scott said despite sales meeting the demand targets, grape supply pressure was building. "Forward estimates of supply indicated that these now would be greater than previously assumed due to the higher than expected rate of new vineyard plantings," he said.
"In this more challenging business environment, in order to prosper grapegrowers and winemakers will have to ensure they are in tune with marketplace demands, price requirements and have effective distribution and marketing strategies in place."

Bogut still out after surgery
Chicago - Bucks center Andrew Bogut did not make the bus trip with the team for tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls, after undergoing surgery to repair a nasal fracture on Friday.
Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak said Michael Ruffin would start at center for the second straight night. The Bucks rotated three centers - Ruffin, Jake Voskuhl and Dan Gadzuric - but had little success in defending Orlando's all-star center, Dwight Howard, in a 103-86 loss to the Magic on Friday.
"He's still nauseous and really fatigued from the anesthesia," Krystkowiak said of Bogut, who was injured in the Bucks' loss in Atlanta on Wednesday night.
Krystkowiak admitted the absence of Bogut leaves the Bucks with a major dent in both their offense and defense. The 7-foot center is averaging 13.9 points and 9.5 rebounds.
"I think it's a pretty serious impact for us," Krystkowiak said. "He's a guy that gets a couple blocked shots a game, and he's always in the right spot defensively to help on rotations. With him not in there, it's a challenge defensively.
"Offensively, a lot of the stuff we run goes through Andrew. So it forces you to look at things a little differently. I think it hurts our spacing, not having him out there with his passing ability. Hopefully, it will be just one more game."
The Bucks are playing the Bulls for the third time this season and the first since Chicago made its trade deadline deal, acquiring forward Drew Gooden and guard Larry Hughes from division rival Cleveland. Both ex-Cavaliers are now in the Bulls starting lineup, along with rookie center Joakim Noah. In a late change announced about 20 minutes before tip-off, Gooden was scratched due to a lower abdominal strain and replaced in the Chicago lineup by Tyrus Thomas.
Chicago, expected to contend for the Central Division title, has slipped badly to a 28-44 record and is dealing with some of the same issues the Bucks have faced in recent weeks. The Bulls still have a slim playoff chance, trailing Atlanta for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot by four games with 10 games remaining.
The Bulls suffered a critical 106-103 loss at Atlanta on Friday, and afterwards point guard Kirk Hinrich said, "We weren't really ready to play."
The Bucks' efffort has been up and down in recent games, with a spirited showing against Cleveland last weekend giving way to dismal performances against Miami and Orlando.
"It's on us all individually," Krystkowiak said. "The buzzword is to be professional. We're trying to simplify some things right now. At this point of the season, we're trying to play harder and we're trying to move the ball a little bit more, two things that have been our biggest weaknesses this year.
"At this point, we shouldn't be thinking so much about our offense. We need to bring some focus and energy to the defensive end. Then if it happens to be a night where the offense is coming easier, you've got a chance."

As soon as you walk through the door it feels so Homey and Comfortable. Oh and one of the cleanest Rentals we have ever stayed in. We walked to the Beach often and our favorite place to eat was Papa's Tacos. They got to know us very well over there. After a few times of going there, i would just call ahead and my husband would walk down to pick it up. So conveinent..... Their Nachos and Chimichangas were our favorites.

My husband and I stayed at Holly's cottage for our anniversary. The first thing we noticed when we walked through the door was how clean and well decorated the cottage is. We did have to contact Holly on the second day we were there for a small maintenance issue. She was very quick to respond and made sure our plans were not impacted in any way. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend her cottage to anyone!
Great beach house in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Just a 5 min walk to two great beaches (Table Rock and Thousand Steps). No AC, and we were there in a heat wave, so needed lots of fans :)
Holly is a very responsive host, easy to communicate with and very accommodating.
Highly recommended!
We came here with some friends and loved the home.... Everything you need to be in a home away from home was here! Very impressed with furnishing down to quality linens, towels, and even soaps!! same products we use!The area was super quiet and parking was easy right in front of the home! Make the walk to Table Rock Beach in the mornings with a cup of coffee and you will forget where you are!
I can't say enough about this adorable beach house! Upon arrival everything was as Holly promised. I had brought my own supplies (ie: paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex, kitchen towels, just to name a few), but wouldn't have needed any of it. She has got this cottage so very well stocked. She forgot nothing, it's all right here. This place is so beautifully decorated and very well laid out for its size. Holly is an absolute dream to work with, you will not be disappointed on any level. Can't wait to book again, I'd love to live here!!!

Finding His Voice: Dilbert Cartoonist Scott Adams
Silenced by a Rare Vocal Disorder, He Leaned on Wife Shelly-and Tried a Little-Known Surgery
Adams tells the story, in his home in Pleasanton, Calif., in a gravelly, high-pitched voice-higher and rougher than the one he had but one he's grateful for after undergoing a little-known operation at UCLA in 2008. The procedure, says his surgeon Dr. Gerald Berke, is producing dramatic results for some of the roughly 40,000 Americans with spasmodic dysphonia-in which the vocal cords go into spasms, resulting in strangled, garbled speech: "It's not a cure, but it can make it so much better."
Adams' nightmare started five years ago, when he woke up with a cough. "I thought it was laryngitis," says Adams, whose doctors groped for a diagnosis while certain consonants became unpronounceable for him. "I'd order a Diet Coke: It would come out 'iet-oke.' I sounded like a damaged robot."
After undergoing medical tests for everything from vocal polyps to a brain tumor, Adams discovered the answer himself after finding the condition on the Internet. Communicating with his editors by e-mail, he kept producing the satirical strip that appears in some 2,000 newspapers in 70 countries. "I was lucky," says Adams. "I had a job where I could be silent." He came to dread everyday activities such as ordering at a restaurant or going to a party.
His lifeline: Shelly, 41, a divorced mom of two whom Adams, never married, met at a sports club in 2002. "Shelly became his translator," says Nalini Frush, a family friend, describing how, familiar with her husband's speech hiccups, Shelly would convert them into sentences the world could understand. "He would say, 'I'm sorry this is so hard on you,' " Shelly recalls. "But it was never a burden."
Two years after their July 2006 wedding, Adams-who had been getting Botox shots in the larynx, a treatment that works for many patients but had uneven results for him-sought out Dr. Berke. The surgery he had severs the nerve pathway between the brain and vocal cord and grafts a new nerve from the neck-essentially rewiring the larynx. At first just a whisper, Adams' voice got stronger every day.
Today he's back to firing off one-liners at parties and enjoying long conversations with Shelly. And though the stuff of office life fills his comic strip, he chose not to incorporate his struggle into Dilbert's world. "It would have been impossible to explain in three frames," Adams says. "And it wouldn't be funny."

"SIMPLY SINATRA," Utah Symphony and guest artist Steve Lippia, Abravanel Hall, Friday
Nothing gets you in a swingin' jazz mood quite like Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing."
As the instrumentalists warmed up in Abravanel Hall on Friday night, the audience waited patiently and quietly, just as they would before any symphony performance. But this concert was a little different. After the orchestra burst into the big-band delight of "Sing," the audience seemed to hesitate. "Do we clap in the middle of the song? Do we hold our applause?"
After all, it was Abravanel Hall, not a jazz club. But that fact was quickly forgotten.
The audience broke out into applause when singer Steve Lippia came onto the stage, as if they were just ecstactic over how much he sounded like Sinatra himself.
Lippia is more than aware of that fact. He offered a joke, saying that many people approach him to tell him that when they close their eyes, he sounds just like ... Lady Gaga.
Regardless of how similar the sound, Lippia has a style all his own and has a smooth and easy voice rivaling that of greats from Sinatra to Martin and Crosby.
One would think that with a long program focused on largely the same style, it'd get old fast. This was not the case with "Simply Sinatra." There were plenty of fun classics such as "I've Got the World on a String," "Come Fly With Me" and "That's Life."
But Lippia added a Tony Bennett hit, "The Good Life," for a little variety, and songs like "Send in the Clowns" made for a nice change of pace.
Lippia proved himself a bit of a comedian, too, adding jokes and commentary, along with some interesting historical context and heartfelt verbal tributes to composers, arrangers and family, between songs.
The Utah Symphony, under conductor Jerry Steichen's baton, rose to the occasion. Adding an exuberant saxophone section helped the brass section really shine on the big-band standards, and the swelling strings were reminiscent of sweet tunes you listen to on a crackling turntable. Steichen has performed with Lippia before, and it showed.
Las Vegas drummer Bob Chmel, a drummer for Frank Sinatra Jr., worked the drum kit effortlessly. Thanks to him, the audience was not only treated to memories of great singers, but they were also reminded of drumming greats such as Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. The perfect mix of precision and fun, Chmel was a joy to watch and exciting to listen to.
To round off a perfectly jazzy evening, Lippia gave an encore performance with Sinatra's "New York, New York," to which the audience happily clapped along. Lippia exited the stage with a standing ovation.
"Simply Sinatra" made for a foot-stompin', finger-snapping kind of evening that leaves you dancing in your dreams. It was simply fantastic.
Here's hoping the Utah Symphony teams up with Lippia again very soon.

They have been mentioned before on the internet someplace and scientists have no idea why they come from a source inside our solar system. Just reporting if anyone is interested. Energy always comes into me suddenly. It's obvious.
as to my comments above, while ACE and thus NICT was down, there was something coming in, it's obvious here on the magnetometer and electron flux. Protons coming in confuse the instruments for the electron flux, depressing it. I have no idea why ace wasn't recording for 4 hours but there was action.
I am keeping this thread since I started to make my own notes in. for a record or whatever. You all are welcome to comment or ask questions.

It is no one elses business if an individual goes on a mission or not. Going on
a mission is not a requirement to go to heaven, attend church, hold meaningful
church callings, attend BYU, have a temple recomend or participate in anything
the church has to offer.
Frankly Big Hapa probably means well but it is simply none of his business.

Everyone's in love with Cahoon and he is totally unproven as a receiver's coach.
There is a big transition from doing it well yourself to teaching and leading
others to do it. Anae failed in part because of his lack of experience. Everyone
remember how excited we were to have him? Ty or Steve Young would be no
different. Seems we lose our heads over some 'star' getting a position leading
the team.
Here's a new idea: let's look at which programs have what we like in terms of coaching style, culture, outcomes and hire from those programs. Businesses do it, other teams do it to BYU; let's think like a real top tier program!!!
And while we're at it, if Bronco really wants to coach the D so bad, let's make him the D coordinator and go find a real HEAD COACH!!!

Thailand Army Announces Military Coup On Live TV, Country's 12th Since 1932
Update 2: Thailand's military suspends the 2007 constitution and dismisses the caretaker government.
Update: The Thai army has announced a nationwide curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. after declaring a military takeover of the government to restore order.
* * *
Two days ago, when reporting on the Thailand "non-coupy" martial law imposed by the army, which wasn't in charge, but really was or something, we summarized the situation as follows: THAI MILITARY CHANNEL 5 SAYS MARTIAL LAW `NOT A COUP'. "Ah, gotta love the New Normal: full of non-coupy martial laws." Moments ago, the New Normal regressed back to its Old Normal ways, when in a live statement on TV, the Thai army chief made the non-coupy coup coupy, and announced a military takeover of the government Thursday, saying the coup was necessary to restore stability and order after six months of political deadlock and turmoil.
AP reports that Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha announced in a statement broadcast on national television that the commission which imposed martial law Tuesday would now take control of the country's administration. We wonder why the army did not announce this two days ago when it imposed martial law over which the government had no say, but at this point all that matters is that news of the coup sends stocks to new all time highs.
"It is necessary for the Peace and Order Maintaining Command — which includes army, navy, armed forces and police — to take control of governing the country," Prayuth said.
The development followed two days of army-mediated meetings between the country's rival political leaders that failed to break the impasse. The meetings were held at an army facility in Bangkok.
Shortly before the announcement was made, armed soldiers in military vehicles surrounded the building, apparently to block those inside from leaving.
Thailand has been gripped by bouts of political instability for more than seven years.
The latest round of unrest started in November, when demonstrators took to the streets to try to force Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to step down. They accused her of being a proxy for her popular billionaire brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 military coup and now lives in self-imposed exile to avoid a jail sentence on a corruption conviction.
That said, it is not like the locals have never seen this before: the coup was the 12th since the country's absolute monarchy ended in 1932.
As for what to call the government now, just call it the National Peace Keeping Committee:

A coup in Thailand....... will wonders never cease......
Heck, we have been couped big time here, too.
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.
Coup Coup c'choo mr. washington....
wicked winds and all, all over...the summer of discontent.....
An Indian summer?
Global heat map?
It's not a militairy coup untill it is.
America should realize that this is how fast everything can happen. 1 week. From sign to fact.
S&P futures are up... nothing to see here.
And I think the US is being conditioned for this.
Today: NPKC - National Peace Keeping Cmte....
Tomorrow: it'll be the National Deposit Keeping Cmte....
Do they have nice uniforms on with a bunch of medals...if they do then its a military coup.....
Would a military coup in the US not be an improvement? Regarding leadership it doesn't seem that things can get much worse.
Is the militairy supporting the king or against him?
everybody supports the King, in Thailand. it ain't Belgium
it's not just customs and culture, it's law, too. see Lèse_majesté_in_Thailand
A king is the silliest motherfucking thing in modern society. They should treat sicknesses with leeches and watch that they don't fall off the end of the earth.
Say that in Thailand and you will find yourself in the monkey house for a long, long time... If not worse...
in my experience you should not try your speech in polite conversation with Thai people
the very best outcome would be an answer in the lines of "your comment is based on your assumption that your society, your political system and your views are the best and should be followed up all over the globe"
....because democracy is working out well
The U.S. Democracy is quite honest. The man with the most banker support wins. The people vote for who they are told to vote for by the bankers and the process repeats every 4 years. Simple!
You are saying it makes sense to follow a man that says he is the leader because "god" said it was so. Just call yourself a dictator and be honest. What a bunch of bullshit!
I said no such thing. perhaps you'll understand it better if I explain it differently. you know the Pope? well, the Thai King is something similar - but squared - for the Thai People
@Ghordius: Trying to explain the obvious to him is a waste of time.
I'm Ok with the Thai people supporting this man, especially if it saves them jail time. But I am blown away by the support of monarchies in general. How in your right mind do you support the concept of a monarchy?
Many monarchies are simply figureheads with little power, eg Queen of England, all decisions are made by the elected sociopaths.
Advice can be requested/given by someone very experienced without thinking about an election, their popularity.
Positives for this is that it saves having even more corrupt politicians and the monarch can spend all their time putting on a show for the tourists or entertaining the visiting sociopaths.
Saves on the cost of elections every four or so years, costs much less than Obama royal family trips....
Big interest when a new member joins the family, more bread anyone?
Sudden Debt didn't support the king and was chucked out a movie cinema for it...true story.
This blog has imho good articles about Thailand: http://landdestroyer.blogspot.nl/
There's some BS tripe right out of Moscow.
Sitting here in downtown Bangkok, I don't really see much difference from yesterday or last week.......... I don't think I could say the same if this was the US......
Yeah, we'd already have the FEMA camps open on the outskirts of town to put the "undsirables" into.
in the name of keeping the peace and saving you from those terrorists.
...... Breaking on Al Jaz
Rival political parties involved in negotiations meeting have been "detained" just prior to announcement of coup ..... fwiw
in other news dateline Seoul - the Koreas trade artillery shells NK- 2 shells; SK 5 shells ....... all fun and games until someone loses an eye
Hey, what are the attitudes at Bumrungrad right now, nurses etc? Bumrungrad has an updated notice on their news page about it. Also when you click on 'plan your trip" it goes to the news page about what is happening. I very much respect them for that.
So far everything seems normal, although at this stage I only see them when they come in for a vitals check every three or so hours but so far I haven't detected any change in thier mood, they still smile sweetly and greet me as normal ....... Sawadee Kaa .... could listen to that all day
TV stations are getting taken down every few minutes only al jazeera and RT still up all movie channels and international news channels down already . No great loss to me but I'm thinking the internet and cell networks might be on the list too............ that'll suck ..... they even took down the cartoon netwerk geez man gimme somethin' here......
Oh noes! What would fonestar do if the 'net went down?
Stay safe Rak...
My Nurse just came in and chatted for a few minutes, says she cannot go home tonight because of curfew, but she was still quite bubbly in typical Thai fashion, yeah I don't see us being able to show such attitudes in similar circumstance........ few more sirens outside now too, maybe turn out the lights early tonight....
Whats Michelle''s opinion on this? The US is diplomatically paralyzed until she can come up with a hashtag!
#Wanna rub my belly.......
#take my girls
#gimme dem bois'
#rawwwwggggrr. mggggggg
We will have to wait until her gaggle of stylists get done making up her fur before we are treated to a wookie selfie.

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (1)
It seems no accident that Almayer's torpor, once a heartache, spreads like tendrils throughout the film.
There's little if any comfort to be found in death, just the sense that our quibbles -- few of which are so enticing as quests for buried riches -- amount to rather little.
After a powerful opening scene and reasonably strong first act, the pic slowly leaks air.
Akerman's control of the expressive elements, particularly the performances, which are at once subdued and theatrical, and the choreography of the long takes, in which actors move through the encroaching jungle, are exceptional.
Audience Reviews for Almayer's Folly
A very liberal adaptation of the same named book by early 20th Century novelist Joseph Conrad, this is a movie that seemingly addresses the tragic sensibilities of cultural identity and colonial uprooting that plagued the imminent crumbling of the vast colonial empires of the Europeans. Unfortunately, this film while promising with the early stabbing of a suave and handsome crooner lipsyncing to a classic and very American Dean Martin song followed by an entranced beautiful local girl who breaks out in a sudden aria in foreboding acapella, this film lost it's groove with the lack of direction or discipline. The constant aimless wandering, repetition of monotone dialogue, i..e. "Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina...." along with the excruciating details of daily minutia literally drowned this vessel and lulled me to very deep sleep. I simply didn't care nor could I relate to the displaced colonial Frenchman and his half breed daughter. As outdated as the concept is, when in the hands of a more competent film maker, this could have been rather poignant and touching. Ah,Comme Ci, Comme �a.

- Description:
Before I was a professional triathlete, I was... a student at OU Medical Center. I received my Medical Degree in May of 2006.
Describe your introduction to triathlon. I grew up in a family of swimmers and in the summers we would dabble in Ironkids races for fun. I remember going to the National Championships at SeaWorld, it was the coolest thing ever! After I turned 14, I was too 'old' for Ironkids, so that was the end of triathlon...until I started medical school. Some triathletes up at the gym saw me swimming and told me I should do a triathlon. I was very resistant to the idea but finally gave in and did a super sprint race (300yd pool swim, 10mi bike, 2mi run) in Bixby, OK and loved it. I was hooked!
Who has influenced your triathlon career the most/and how? My first triathlon coach was Mike Pigg. He had a huge influence on steering me in the right direction and gave me so much great advice. He always said I could learn from all his mistakes, so I wouldn't have to make the same ones. I have definitely made my own mistakes along the way, but he certainly made sure I bypassed a few. He also shared with me his passion for the sport.
Which event do you most look forward to each year and why? The Brookhaven 10K in Oklahoma...it's where I met my husband. Each year we do a race together to celebrate!

Eddie George and Pat Forde sat down with Yahoo Sports to talk about some of the controversy surrounding the 2012 Heisman race. As you may know, there is no real front runner and a lot of questions in this years race. Will voters vote for a freshman in Johnny Manziel? Will they vote for a defensive player, Manti Teo? What about a guy from Kansas State?
All of those questions and more need answers however Eddie George brought up an interesting point in the talk. Could we be overlooking Baylor's Terrance Williams as a legitimate candidate? He is already on his way to 2,000 yards just for this year.

I do wish the cover was the original poster
There is plenty of test footage from the film on youtube, slap that on here. And it should include a download code for the soundtrack like the last movie did.

Jim Henson only directed the second film, The Great Muppet Caper. James Frawley directed The first one, Frank Oz directed the third (Muppets Take Manhattan) and Brian Henson directed the excellent Muppet Christmas Carol which was the first one made after Jim Henson's death

Pope sees the Devil Behind Timing of Sex Abuse Crisis ... Exactly!
2010-06-13 0:00
Convenient that the pope
helped get housing for a clergyman suspected of child sex abuse
Pope "obstructed" sex abuse inquiry
The Devil In The Vatican
Since the Catholic sexual abuse crisis erupted a decade ago, there have been numerous attempts to explain its causes, from a lack of fidelity to an over-emphasis on celibacy and clerical privilege. This morning in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI pointed to a deeper unseen force lurking behind the crisis, especially its timing: the Devil.
Its no accident, the pope implied, that precisely as the Catholic church was celebrating a Year for Priests in 2009-2010, the sexual abuse crisis once again took on massive global proportions.
It was to be expected that this new radiance of the priesthood would not be pleasing to the enemy, Benedict XVI said. He would have rather preferred to see it disappear, so that God would ultimately be driven out of the world.
The term "the enemy" is a traditional Catholic way of referring to the Devil.
The line drew applause from the crowd gathered in St. Peters Square for a Mass bringing the "Year for Priests" to a close. The Vatican said that some 15,000 priests from more than 90 countries were on hand for the event.
Benedict said that the sexual abuse of minors amounts to a direct contradiction of the meaning of the Catholic priesthood.
So it happened in this very year of joy for the sacrament of the priesthood, the sins of priests came to light particularly the abuse of the little ones, in which the priesthood, whose task is to manifest Gods concern for our good, turns into its very opposite, the pope said.
Those comments came as part of Benedicts homily for the closing Mass of the Year for Priests," which also marked the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Benedict XVI did not allude to recent criticism of his own role, or that of the Vatican, in responding to the crisis.
In the run-up to this morning's Mass, some had speculated that Benedict might use the occasion to unveil dramatic new policy measures on the sexual abuse crisis. In fact, the pope did not announce any new initiatives, but instead referred to the crisis in a more spiritual key as a summons to purification.
As he has on numerous occasions in the past, the pope apologized both to God and to the victims of abuse, and pledged to prevent such abuse in the future.
We insistently beg forgiveness from God and from the persons involved, while promising to do everything possible to ensure that such abuse will never occur again, the pope said.
In admitting men to priestly ministry and in their formation, we will do everything we can to weigh the authenticity of their vocation and make every effort to accompany priests along their journey, so that the Lord will protect them and watch over them in troubled situations and amid lifes dangers, he said.
Had the Year for Priests been merely a celebration of the human performance of priests, Benedict said, it would have been ruined by the revelations of the sexual abuse crisis. Instead, he said, the crisis should make the church embrace its faith in God with new courage and humility.
Later, Benedict XVI invoked the image of the shepherds rod, saying that using the rod to correct those who go astray can be a service of love.
The use of the rod, the pope said, clearly applies to taking a firmer hand on the sexual abuse crisis.
Today we can see that it has nothing to do with love when conduct unworthy of the priestly life is tolerated, he said.
On other matters, Benedict XVI rejected a functionalist understanding of the priesthood, treating it as comparable to other jobs or professional roles. Instead, the pope insisted, the priesthood is not an office but a sacrament.
Ultimately, he said, the priesthood expresses the audacity of God, who considers flawed men capable of acting and being present in his stead.
The pope argued that a priest must make present a God who is actively involved in the affairs of the world and in individual human lives, as opposed to the unknown deities of the ancient world or the watchmaker God of the Enlightenment, who creates the world and then withdraws from it.
God actively looks after the world, the pope insisted, including laying down clear moral laws not to control human beings, but to see them flourish.
Wherever Gods loving concern is perceived as getting in the way, human beings go awry, he said.
We understand that these rules from God are not chains, but the way which he is pointing out to us, the pope said. As priests, we need to communicate to others our own joy at the fact that we have been shown the right way.
In addition to being firm on sexual abuse, the pope also called for greater vigilance about deviations from the faith.
It has nothing to do with love, Benedict XVI said, if heresy is allowed to spread and the faith twisted and chipped away, as if it were something that we ourselves had invented.
That remark likewise drew applause, the only other time the crowd this morning interrupted the pope's homily to affirm a particular line.
