Can anyone give an update on our TE recruit Connor Boffeli?
:) Want the stadium full? Bring a friend!
He injured his shoulder about 3 games ago. Before the injury he was playing full-time on special teams on kick returns, defensive end and tight end. After the injury his coach has played him only about 60% of the offensive plays due to the injury. No defense or special teams.
During the semi-final game against Ankeny though he played TE almost the entire game, pancaked his man nearly every time on runs. Due to Valley not stopping the run and not putting pressure on the QB they decided in the 2nd half (they lost a d-lineman the game previous due to injury) to play him on the d-line on key plays and he had two tackles and an assist on a sack and on the last play of the game he forced the QB to throw a desperation pass for an interception. He only played about 8 defensive snaps.
Also, Boffeli just turned 17 a few months ago. He is a young recruit.

Check out these bargain stocks
Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
As we've been discussing throughout the past six months, a
range-bound market means you're likely better off moving in and out
of certain stocks and sectors as they prove timely. Buy-and-hold
appears dead for now, although few have the ability to profit from
very short-term trades either.
Costco (Nasdaq: COST)
highlights the value of a "mid-term trade." In just six weeks,
investors have made about +25% from this investment. Yet
Wednesday's quarterly report from this retailer tells us it's time
to "sell on the news."
Whenever you see a stock make a solid move as Costco has, it leads
you to wonder if business is trending well ahead of expectations.
That's why it makes sense to hang on and see how quarterly results
fare. I've noticed solid upward moves in four other retail pays I
Best Buy (
Leapfrog Enterprises (
Office Depot (NYSE: ODP
) and
Casual Male (Nasdaq: CMRG)
. Is business improving for these firms, or is the recent spike in
Costco and these other companies' shares simply due to a
re-rotation back into retail?
Wednesday's dismal ADP jobs report, which is a precursor to
Friday's monthly employment report from the Labor Department,
should give pause. So the retail trade may be premature and it may
be time to book profits in recent retail gainers. That's what
investors are doing with Costco, which is pulling back -1.5% today
after running from $60 to $65 in the second half of September.
Costco's quarterly sales slightly lagged estimates (when you back
out the impact of gas price changes), although per share profits
were slightly better than analysts had expected. And judging by the
numbers, the recent rally makes this stock now look fully valued.
Thanks to the tepid
, Costco's sales are likely to only rise +6% to +7% in the
fiscal year
that began last month. Profits are likely to grow at low
double-digits. Yet shares trade for about 20 times projected fiscal
2011 profits and are really no bargain.
Action to Take -->
Whether it's the broader stock market or an individual stock, I'm
always on the lookout for a sideways chart. When a stock is rising,
buyers outnumber sellers. When a stock starts to move sideways,
that's a sign that either sellers are stepping in or buyers are
petering out. Either way, it often results in the next move being a
downward one, as sellers eventually overwhelm buyers. I'm not
predicting that for Costco specifically, but you may want to use
this as a signal to take profits if you have secured a solid run in
an investment.
As noted above, select retail stocks have had a nice run, though it
is unlikely they are reflecting improving consumer spending. On
Wednesday and Thursday, a wide range of retailers will weigh in on
how they fared in the back-to-school season. How the sector trades
in response will be telling. If Costco is any indication, investor
sentiment may be cooling and it may be wise to book any profits
you've had on "mid-term trades" like this one.

Description: From the publishers:Two hundred years ago the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars convulsed the whole of Europe. These were key events in the history of the continent, and for Britain, and they are a fascinating field for historical and family history research. More records than ever are available on the men who served in the British army during the wars, and on their families: Carole Divall's new book acts as a guide on how to locate and understand these sources, and get the most out of them. Using the full range of sources - contemporary military records, correspondence, diaries, memoirs she reconstructs in detail the stories of a representative group of individuals who took part in the wars: a soldier who saw action as a marine in the Mediterranean fleet, a Gordon Highlander who was taken prisoner, riflemen who served at Walcheren, in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, artillerymen who played a crucial role in battles and in sieges, a gentry family whose sons served as officers in the Peninsula and in India, and two remarkable women who were among the many who went to war with the men.

You can fuss with rulers and depth gauges all you want, but here are two quick and easy ways to precisely set your plunge router cutting depth.
The method shown, left photo, uses different drill bit thicknesses to exactly set a router's plunge depth. First, place the router on your bench and plunge the bit until it touches the benchtop. Then lock it in place. Loosen the depth stop-rod, and sandwich a drill bit of a diameter equal to the plunge depth between the turret stop and rod. Then tighten the rod in place. Unlock the plunge mechanism, and you're ready to plunge into your project.
The method, at right, uses spacers planed to the same thickness as the depth of your plunge cuts. Place the router on a pair of spacers, and plunge the bit until it touches the benchtop. Then lower and tighten the stop-rod.PDF of PhotoComplete Guide to Mastering Your Router

Me on my conservation road
1 My road at young age
I am a rural boy who grew up in northeastern Thailand. I had a life that was intimate with the rural nature. Most of my early-age life and activities were bonded with the nature and environment. I had to help my mom and dad with farm works just as the rural kids' way of life; gathering vegetables and mushrooms in the forest, hooking bait and fishing in the river and farm field for food, chopping firewood, and so on. These activities were all ways of life that linked us to nature. In my childhood, my mom and dad took a good care of and cultivated good consciousness in their kids until we became grown-ups. I have always realized that not only my mom and dad have had benevolence towards me beyond any comparison, but I also have given great benevolence by "nature".
Nature has given me life, food and the four necessities of life. Nature gave me the playground - one such expansive classroom for us rural kids. Nature was also one such great teacher who has taught and cultivated my being to love and requite the nature's kindness and my habitat.
2 First step at WWF Thailand
In 1995 I was fortunate to work at an environmental organization called Wildlife Fund Thailand. The work of the WWF's staffs there truly inspired me. In the initiation phrase, WWF focused on conservation of big wildlife such as tiger, elephant and rhino before beginning to develop into the integrated conservation work. To conserve wild animals sustainably, we are required to see conservation in a larger picture, meaning seeing one particular wild animal related to its ecosystem and habitat including the factors affecting the animal. In 1997 I began working at WWF as a rural development promotion officer for conservation of Loei province's forest. I worked with the communities surrounding the forests who were still forest-dependent both directly and indirectly. My work answered the WWF's notion that one of the causes of wildlife's habitat and ecosystem destruction is human. And the cause of threatening and negatively having impact on nature and wildlife by human is human's livelihood necessity. That said, doing the conservation work through the process relevant to communities or societies was so much of a challenge for me.
3 Learning the sustainable conservation road
I have discovered that "conservation" is "to protect for consuming wisely and sustainably". This reflects two aspects of conservation: protection and consumption. However, I have found that at later days the definition of conservation has been framed and limited to only finding ways to protect. A part of this perception has been disseminated through the government's policies in different forms and has been framed from the policy level that has lacked real public's participation. I have always thought that conservation requires hand joining and building cooperation process of all sectors, not only of the rural people. The conservation mission is not a duty of specific groups of people. In actual, it is a duty of every one and every level.
In the three years that I worked in Phuluang Wildlife Sanctuary in Loei province during 2004-2006 as an officer in the coordination and training department for the personnel of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, I discovered that promoting conservation activities in the area required understanding of the context of the communities and societies encircling the forest. I learned about the resource management dimension between the government's officials and the people which reveals that conservation is consist of protection and wise and sustainable consumption for which building real participation process is compulsory.
4 Wetland conservationist
From 2007 I became a natural resources officer at WWF Thailand working in Kudting and Buengkonglong which are international wetlands certified by the Ramsar Convention. This is a work to encourage participation for freshwater resource conservation invaluable to all living beings, and participation process was the major driver.
More than ten years of my direct experiences working in the fields of natural resource and wildlife conservation from the mountain height to the freshwater floor have led to the conclusion that the hearts of sustainable conservation are:
1. Real participation of all sectors.
2. Placing an importance on the way of life, culture and local wisdom for applying to conservation. Both ecosystem conservation and sustaining the local way of living must be undergone alongside.
3. The mindset on conservation and the larger vision that cover various dimensions, especially the social and environmental.
My more than decade of involving in nature and environment conservation is a "life's mission" that I am really proud of. Why? Because it is a right livelihood and most importantly this occupation of mine reciprocates my country as well as the ones who have benevolence towards me, just as the resolution I made since I was young. And most certainly, this work is to conserve nature for nature to belong to each and every one of us, the same as nature which provides all of us usefulness without discrimination.

US stocks fall Monday
Monday, December 19, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market took a late afternoon fall after European Union finance ministers failed to come up with the full amount of money pledged for a bailout fund.
Banks led the way down Monday. Morgan Stanley dropped 5.5 percent and Bank of America Corp. sank 4 percent, the biggest fall in the Dow Jones Industrial average.
The Dow lost 100.13 points, or 0.8 percent to close at 11,766.26. The average lost 55 points in the last hour of trading as reports emerged that the E.U. finance ministers couldn't drum up the full 200 billion euros ($261 billion) in new money to the International Monetary Fund. European leaders had pledged the money for a special IMF fund for struggling European countries at a summit meeting less than two weeks ago.
Cautious comments from the head of the European Central Bank also helped push stocks lower. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 14.31 points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,205.35. The Nasdaq composite index fell 32.19 points, or 1.3 percent, to 2,523.14.
In the U.S., a gauge of sentiment among builders inched up to its highest level since May 2010. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index added two points to 21 in December. Any reading below 50 still reflects a negative outlook.
The three major stock market indexes lost more than 2 percent last week amid worries that some European governments would try to drop the euro. Fitch Ratings warned Friday that it may cut the credit grades for Italy, Spain and four other countries that use the currency.
With two weeks of trading left in 2011, the S&P 500 is 4.2 percent below where it started the year. The Dow has managed to gain 1.6 percent in 2011, led by McDonald's Corp. and its 26 percent gain.
Nearly four stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading volume was very light at 3.6 billion.

November 2009
Receives New Mental Hospital
Micah George
Lucia National Mental Wellness Center, the mental
hospital built to replace Golden Hope, was on
Wednesday handed over to the Government and
People of Saint Lucia as a finished product,
hopefully ending a long running political dialogue
in the country about its completion date.
Started by the Peoples' Republic of China,
under the former Labour Party Government and
completed by the Republic of China on Taiwan,
under the incumbent United Workers Party Government
– a facility that reflects deeply the
political factions in the country, the 108 bed
psychiatric hospital is said to have put Saint
Lucia at an envious stage of health infrastructural
development within the Caribbean region.
Although it is still unclear as to exactly when
the transition will take place, meaning the
transfer of patients, staff and services at
Golden Hope to the new facility on the Millennium
Highway, the mere fact that the facility has
been handed over to the Government of Saint
Lucia seems to suggest that all is in place
for a smooth, if not immediate transition.
Prime Minister Stephenson King likened the finished
facility and the work of the Government and
People of Taiwan in Saint Lucia as "a
quiet revolution" the change which the
people of Saint Lucia voted for and received,
one that enabled them to make new friends like
"This ceremony, which brings us here today,
represents a significant milestone in the development
of mental health services in Saint Lucia. This
facility will provide new hope for clients who
will navigate through its doors and walls. Today
we are breaking new ground with our decentralized
approach to mental health care," the Prime
Minister said.
This new direction in health, the Prime Minister
noted is based on best practice standard that
includes reducing the dependence on institutionalized
custodial care and replacing it with rehabilitative
and residential facilities.
Felix St. Hill,
the Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary
(ag) explained that the new addition to the
country's health infrastructure is timely
and definitely going to result in considerable
improvement and enhanced capability in furthering
the Ministry's cause of integrated health
care delivery systems and services.
"The opportunities for this new National
Mental Wellness facility are endless. The
wide range of services and functional units,
such as diagnostic and treatment, clinical
laboratories, dental and other services, hospitality
functions, such as food and nutrition services
and housekeeping, administration and management
functions and the fundamental impatient care
and the highly complicated mechanical, electrical
and telecommunications systems, all required
specialized knowledge and expertise for which
we are all prepared," St. Hill said.
Yesterday was a good day for the government
in that the facility, which had undergone
its full share of political controversy from
the time the Chinese stopped work there in
2007 when the new government under Sir John
switched diplomatic relations from China to
Taiwan, is today a finished product, a commitment
undertaken by the Taiwanese when they established
official relations with Saint Lucia in 2007
and fulfilled by them working alongside the
Government of Saint Lucia.
Yesterday was indeed a milestone for the government
who had to show its ability to deliver a finished
product because of the raging national argument
that the facility would never be completed
under them, or not at all.
The question is whether the government would
be able to maintain the facility which has
beds not only for psychiatric patients but
also for neurological patients, geriatric
patients and general patients. Equipped with
a diagnostic center for X-ray, the finest
auditorium in the country, kitchen, laundry,
medical records and library rooms, the facility,
it has been pointed out would need an annual
maintenance fee of 20 – 25 percent of
its construction cost.

In response to prolate0spheroid's comment:
Eng, I have been saying all along that Gronk would have made a huge difference. I said that last year, too, after the Super Bowl, where his absence was, in my opinion, a huge problem.
My problem is Gronk is one guy and when he's out, the offense really suffers. We need more diversity in our receivers so losing one of them doesn't limit the offense so much.
And whatever Edelman might bring to the offense, he's another guy who works short routes more than long ones and doesn't have size. We need at least one more receiver who is a serious downfield threat with either the size or the speed (or both) to force safeties to think about what's happening in the deep middle of the field.
The divisity part I agree with the down the field threat not so much. Having a speedy guy doesn't do us much good imo. It certainly wouldn't have helped Sunday as Brady couldn't get the ball further then 15yrds without the wind affecting it. The issue I have is having a larger WR not so much a down the field threat. I want a larger WR to work all 3 tiers of the field and will fit for a ball. Frankly a down the field threat is a nice luxury but against physical CB's hitting at the line I've seen speedy guys get taken out of games easily. Given Brady isn't getting younger his deep ball is only going to get worse which means you need someone with a large catch radius to out fight for balls. If they got speed that's a plus but size is what I'd look for first and in that case then I completly agree we should have gotten some size first and foremost but if you are going to say that then at least make a suggestion who they should have gotten that would have been happy in the 3/4 WR role at the beginning of the season. But, saying they were thin is a far cry from saying they didn't have enough divisity

In a National Review profile focused on his past life as an ophthalmologist and all of the pro-bono work performed over the years, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) offered yet another peculiar view of the government's responsibility to its most impoverished citizens. When asked of his view on health care in light of the wide array of free operations he's done in his career — estimated at more than 100 — Paul offered an analogy that essentially placed food stamps on par with slavery. Though that is not especially surprising giving the GOP's penchant for playing down how slavery really works, it's frustrating all the same.
Paul explained, "As humans, yeah, we do have an obligation to give people water, to give people food, to give people health care, but it's not a right because once you conscript people and say, 'Oh, it's a right,' then really you're in charge. It's servitude. You're in charge of me and I'm supposed to do whatever you tell me to do."
By Paul's logic, if I find myself waiting for one or four checks and someone pays for my drinks at happy hour, they are my new master. I already ran this by a friend and she's since offered her services, noting that in turn she will order me to twerk on command. Think Beyoncé, not Miley Cyrus.
Seriously, though, Paul has a knack for hyperbole and comparing various government-provided services to slavery. In 2011, Paul said that when one believes in a right to health care, "It means you believe in slavery. It means that you're going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses."
So he more or less remixed this notion in the National Review story, only this time those wretched poor folks are giving farmers the blues. After all, "You don't have a right to anyone else's labor. Food's pretty important; do you have a right to the labor of the farmer?"

Great Indie RPGoddweed | Feb. 26, 2013 | Review of Driftmoon - PC
I've already poured 10 hrs into this gem. The combat mechanism is too simplistic for my taste, but dialogues and settings are crafted very cleverly. Sometimes it warms your heart, sometimes it entertain you with strange humor. But at the same time, there are some dark parts in this lovely world. If you looking for some unique fantasy RPG, then buy this. You won't regret it.

Story behind The Professor of Truth by James Robertson
- Published in Book News
I don't go looking for stories. They tend to stand up in front of me and demand to be written. My historical novel Joseph Knight is a case in point. It was based on the true story of how a slave was brought by his master from Jamaica to Scotland in the 1770s, and how he subsequently won his freedom through the law courts. I had studied 18th century Scottish history, yet had never heard of Joseph Knight. It was a chance mention of him by a friend which set me off on the long task of reconstructing his story and uncovering this hidden side of my country's past.
It was the same with The Professor of Truth. Although it's a novel, the book is based on and strongly influenced by the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over the town of Lockerbie in December 1988. That terrible event has had huge repercussions in Scotland and across the world, and these are still going on today as the 25th anniversary approaches. It took twelve years to bring the two Libyan men accused of planting the bomb to trial: one of them was acquitted; the other, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 2008 Megrahi was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and in August 2009 he was released on compassionate grounds by the Scottish government and allowed home to Libya to die. This decision caused widespread outrage, especially in the USA where so many of the victims of the bombing were from, and the sense of injustice was compounded by the fact that Megrahi survived nearly three years beyond his release, dying in May 2012 shortly after the Libyan revolution.
But, long before the political storm over his release broke, concerns were being raised that Megrahi, who always maintained his innocence, might himself be the victim of a gross injustice: in short, that he was a scapegoat and had been wrongly convicted in the biggest criminal case in Scottish legal history. Others who had far greater expertise and knowledge than I did were voicing their doubts even during the trial in 2000-01, finding the prosecution's evidence and the reasoning of the published judgment far from persuasive. Since then, more and more information has come into the public domain which leaves the case against Megrahi in shreds: some evidence was withheld or suppressed by the prosecution or by the police; new evidence has emerged which was not known at the time of the trial; and key witnesses, without whose testimony he could not have been found guilty, have been largely discredited.
I had become increasingly fascinated, disturbed and angered by this long, drawn out saga, not least because, if it was true that Megrahi was innocent, then the real murderers of 270 people remained unidentified and unpunished. Furthermore, if the trial had indeed reached the wrong conclusion, then a massive stain was disfiguring the Scottish justice system. This has important political implications because in September 2014 the Scottish people will vote in a referendum to decide if their country should become independent from the rest of the UK. A fair, open and properly functioning justice system is a prerequisite for a fair, open and properly functioning modern democracy. Whatever the outcome of the referendum, this proposition is still valid, but the prospect of opening a new chapter in our history with questions over the Lockerbie case unresolved is not a good one.
These were some of the motivations behind my writing The Professor of Truth. Why, though, use fiction to explore this complex territory? First, because it is my craft. Second, when real events resist full explanation, as I believe is the case with the Lockerbie bombing, it is sometimes possible for fiction to cast a fresh and useful light on those events. Fiction, as the English novelist Julian Barnes has written, is a way of telling the truth through telling lies. However, you won't find the names Lockerbie, Libya or Megrahi anywhere in The Professor of Truth. Obviously I have researched the real history very deeply, but the fiction I've created is not an attempt to explain what really happened in 1988 and thereafter. If I knew that I wouldn't have written a novel.
What I have tried to do is explore the issues at the heart of the case: what is truth, what is justice, and how can we recognise them? How are narratives constructed and shaped to serve the interests of those in power, and how do other narratives emerge to challenge them? One of the characteristics of fiction is that it can ask questions without necessarily supplying all the answers. And a novel is a two-way process: it is the reader as well as the writer who must grapple with such questions.
I also wanted to imagine, at a purely human, individual level, what happens to a man who has to contend not only with the loss of his wife and daughter through an act of terrorism but also with a growing belief that the truth has been denied to him. This is the situation of my main character, the story's narrator, a lecturer in English literature called Alan Tealing. Alan has been on a tortured emotional, psychological and philosophical journey – one littered with obstacles – for 21 years when the book opens. He is visited, in the depths of winter, by a retired American intelligence officer, who brings him a piece of information about a witness in the trial. This information will send Alan on a physical journey from a landscape of ice to one of fire: from snowbound Scotland to Australia in the middle of a heatwave. He goes hoping to find those elusive things, truth and justice, but – as a lawyer colleague warns him – they may not look the way he expects them to if he does find them.

Universal Studios Singapore
this wiki
thumb|300px|right|Teaser 1: Treasure
Universal Studios Singapore (USS) is the Singaporean Universal Studios theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island, Singapore. It is the second Universal Studios theme park in Asia (Universal Studios Japan being the first) and the first Universal Studios theme park within Southeast Asia. After four years of development and construction, followed by a soft opening period from March 18 to October 26 in 2010, the park officially opened on May 28, 2011.
The New York area of the park features Sesame Street characters and attractions, including three live shows. Eight (walk-around) characters – Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Grover and Abby Cadabby – appear in these shows as well as in meet-and-greet sessions. An indoor ride is in development, currently scheduled to debut in the park by the end of 2012, in the former location of the unfinished Stage 28 attraction.
Sesame Street debuted at USS on May 28, 2012. The announcement was first made on May 24 with a press conference and preview performances of the live shows. Prior to the news announcement, Resorts World Sentosa released two teaser trailers - the first one, entitled "Treasure", on May 17 and the second one, "Crumbs", on May 22. Both trailers were intended to pique people's curiosity about the park's newest addition, while at the same time, indicate some of the obvious.
The live shows, all of which are performed outside on New York street, consist of:
- When I Grow Up – A 12-minute stage show featuring Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Grover, Bert and Ernie, performed on the front steps of the Public Library. A trimmed down version of the Sesame Street Live show of the same name (both the original and the updated version).
- Dance with Bert and Ernie – A seven-minute interactive street show with Bert, Ernie, Elmo and Grover. Performed outside Rockefeller Center.
- Our Favorite Things – Bert, Oscar and Cookie Monster sing about the things they love in this six-minute street show. Performed outside Loui's Pizza and Union City News Agency.
Showtimes and performances vary on different days. See the USS park brochure for show schedules. (Note: The brochure does not specify which show will be performed.)
The indoor ride will revolve around Elmo and Super Grover dealing with a worldwide spaghetti abduction caused by mysterious green tractor beams. [1] The attraction will be a dark ride using a similar operating system to E.T. Adventure at Universal Studios Florida and formerly Universal Studios Hollywood. Andrea Teo, vice-president of Entertainment at Resorts World Sentosa, said of the upcoming attraction at the press conference: "I think it's a very unique ride. It's got the same Sesame Street kind of humour, it's a bit wacky, it's a bit way-out-there, it'll make you laugh and because it's a ride, it also gives you a bit of a thrill (and) adventure." [2]
Loui's Pizza will host a Sesame Street Character Breakfast program later this year, running on select weekends and holidays from 9:00am to 10:30am. The breakfast program will not be included in the day-pass to USS; guests will have to reserve their tickets online or purchase their tickets at the ticketing booth upon entering the park.
Sesame Street merchandise, both park-exclusive items and imports, are available in gift shops. There is also a Sesame Street School Bus retail cart that sells Sesame Street merchandise, located outside Rockefeller Center, the former location for The Yellow Cab Co. Taxi (the latter has moved to Water Street, near KT Grill). Additionally, some existing food/beverage and merchandise outlets, like The Brown Derby, have been rethemed.

Tagline: Ein! Zwei! Die!
Synopsis: Eight medical students on a ski trip to Norway discover that Hitler's horrors live on when they come face to face with a battalion of zombie Nazi soldiers intent on devouring anyone unfortunate enough to wander into the remote mountains where they were once sent to die.
Round-up: "As a director, Tommy Wirkola, who wrote the irrelevant screenplay with Stig Frode Henriksen, doesn't just hit every horror beat; he pounds it to an indistinguishable pulp," notes Manohla Dargis i... n her review for the New York Times. "An adherent of the relatively new fast-zombie trend, he makes his undead work, or at least run hard, for their supper... As is often the case with movies of this type, the real stars are the special-effects team, which does some admirably disgusting work with ribbons of intestines and a brain that plops out of a ripped-open skull with surprising delicacy." Indeed, most reviewers have noted that "Dead Snow" is at its best when it's at it's most gruesome. "For more than half of this 90-minute film, director Tommy Wirkola plays things pretty straight—a mistake, perhaps, since the first half is pretty boring," writes Chuck Wilson for the Village Voice. "But once the Nazi zombies start arriving en masse, he abruptly shifts to an 'Evil Dead'–style zaniness, including the sight of a potential victim hanging off the side of a mountain while using a zombie's entrails as rope. Let's call this the gooiest movie of the year (so far)." The "Evil Dead" comparisons are inevitable, it seems. "Nazi zombies. As ideas for pulp horror movies go, it certainly doesn't get much pulpier than that," writes Scott Tobias in the A.V. Club. "But a hook that good requires some follow-through, too, and the Norwegian splatter comedy Dead Snow takes far too much time to get the wheels in motion. Not until the film's halfway point is it even revealed that the creatures marauding in a remote mountain pass are, in fact, Nazis on an eternal quest for filthy lucre. Even then, the concept doesn't go much further than the wardrobe department—that is, until a deliriously over-the-top climax finally rouses the film from its Evil Dead-mimicking stupor." All in all it seems that while "Dead Snow" doesn't quite live up to Raimi's legendary cult classic, it should deliver for those looking for a lot of splatter.
This Nazi zombies vs. Russian zombies movie is a lot better than it sounds.Read More »

One of the ironies—and challenges—of effective education is that in order to engage individual learners you have to look at the whole environment. The evolution of special education is a case in point. For several decades, the American educational system has taken a narrow view of special education, treating it as a mini-school within the school where teachers, largely cut off from the rest of the staff, faced a group of students with an incredibly wide range of abilities and disabilities and made the best of it.
Today, that view of special education is giving way to a broader, more philosophical approach—an approach designed to weave inclusive practices into the fabric of the whole-school environment. Much of that evolution has been driven by the 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA '97), which was explicitly designed to merge special education with whole-school reform. Among other things, the amendments mandate that all students have access to the general curriculum and that schools be accountable for the educational outcomes of every student.
On a macro level, the merging of this new approach to special education with whole-school reform makes good sense. The philosophy of inclusive practices is perfectly compatible with current models of whole-school reform. Both sets of ideas embrace staff collaboration, shared decision making, a focus on student outcomes, and community outreach as central tenets.
On a micro level, however, the challenge can seem overwhelming to schools. Changing a school's environment is a huge undertaking; remaking special education in the process can seem to some administrators like one task too many.
EDC researchers and our partners are optimistic about meeting the challenge because we've seen it work in schools across the country. We've identified and developed a collection of inclusive practices that serve the cause of whole-school reform and serve the needs of all students, with and without disabilities—such as flexible curricula, adaptive technologies, early childhood interventions, and prevention strategies. Many of these practices build from the idea of universal design, as defined by the Center for Applied Special Technologies (CAST):
The basic premise of universal design for learning is that a curriculum should include alternatives to make it accessible and applicable to students, teachers, and parents with different backgrounds, learning styles, abilities, and disabilities in widely varied learning contexts. The "universal" in universal design does not imply one optimal solution for everyone, but rather it underscores the need for inherently flexible, customizable content, assignments, and activities.
Creating "inherently flexible, customizable content" demands extensive thought and hard work. In the stories that follow, we explore the philosophy and policies that help create the environment for inclusive practices to take hold. We begin with an interview with Thomas Hehir and Judith Zorfass. (Hehir, the former director of the Office of Special Education Programs in the U.S. Department of Education, is currently a consultant to EDC. Zorfass is the associate director of EDC's Center for Family, School, and Community.) From there we take a micro-level look at schools and programs where inclusive practices are helping all students succeed.

What I (I'm speaking just for me) usually feel for some conservative positions could be define as "derision". Unfortunately, some conservative positions are too harmful not to consider them seriously.

I received my Eagle Scout many moons ago and went on to be an assistant scout master for several years. No one ever was concerned about mine or any one else's orientation. I am also old enough to remember when certain religious organizations threatened to dumb the scouts if they refused to comply with their particular brands of beliefs. So you can tell me I am wrong all you want I lived it .

An organization can establish its own requirements for participation. This does not define them as bigots. I doubt anyone would argue that girls should be entitled for admission into the BSA. Likewise, British boys would not be admitted in the BSA. British Boy Scouts have their own Scouting organization. Girls have their own Scouting organization.
It is not bigotry to exclude girls, or British boys from the BSA.
Other organizations also establish their own requirements for participation and involvement and are not guilty of bigotry.
Bigotry has been defined as the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats other people with hatred, contempt, and intolerance on the basis of a person's race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, language, socioeconomic status, or other status.
Simply excluding someone for any of the above mentioned reasons does not necessarily make the organization bigoted. Rather it is the state of mind, the emotions of hatred, intolerance, contempt.
I have never seen hatred, intolerance or contempt exhibited by the BSA towards gays and have been involved for over 30 years with the BSA.
Gays could start their own Scouting organization.

@David --
Of course the Boy Scouts does not admit girls -- it is the BOY Scouts. Also, it is the BS OF AMERICA -- not the BS of Britain. And British boys are -- you guessed it -- in Britain. ;-) However, the BSA is NOT called the "Straight Christian BSA"; it is the BSA, period.
The BSA is intolerant not just for excluding gays, but also for the **reason** they do so. As stated in a 1991 BSA policy memo: "homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the requirements in the Scout Oath that a Scout be morally straight and in the Scout Law that a Scout be clean in word and deed, and that homosexuals do not provide a desirable role model". IOW, they specifically believe that homosexuality is immoral and that homosexuals are undesirable human beings. They could insist that being black is immoral with just as much justification -- IOW, none. THAT is intolerance.
Incidentally, BSA membership has dropped by almost 20 percent since the Supreme Court BSA vs. Dale decision. Multiple major corporate sponsors have pulled out specifically because of the BSA's policy of discrimination. Even the Girl Scouts and 4-H clubs don't discriminate in this way. Only the BSA.

Gays have always been welcome in both the Boy Scouts of America and in the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So are alcoholics, porn addicts,
hetero-sexuals, kleptomaniacs, etc., as long as they adhere to the standards of
both organizations, which include moral cleanliness, an acceptance of a duty to
God, and other behavior standards. I, for one, even worship a God who "was
in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15)
The difference is one's choices, not one's inclinations.

@John --
"Gays have always been welcome in both the Boy Scouts of America"
That's simply not true, John. The 1991 policy memo clearly states that "homosexuals do not provide a desirable role model"; and the current official position is to "not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals". Those statements don't say "people who practice homosexual behaviors". They simply say "homosexuals". Those "undesirable" homosexuals could just as easily be celibate. The policy doesn't acknowledge any difference between practicing and non-practicing -- it specifically condemns the attraction itself.
Obviously, the BSA has the legal power to set their own membership policies, since they are a private organization. But that doesn't mean it is morally *right* for them to discriminate in this way. Heck, even Mitt Romney disagrees with this policy. He has specifically stated: "I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation".
Fortunately, the man who is expected to be the next president of the BSA's national board (Randall Stephenson) also opposes this discrimination, so with any luck it will be ending in the near future.

Interesting how every so many years this discussion and issue becomes hot
button. Much of it comes back to what we believe the definition of morally
straight is. If the BSA changes that to include homosexuality so be it, if they
continue to hold to their '91 memo so be it.
As many people (both hetero and homo sexual) have expressed we shouldn't try to change something just because its different. The Boy Scouts are different from other organizations and we should accept and appreciate that, regardless of whether it fits into our box of personal beliefs. Diversity is what makes the world a great place to live in.
I applaud those who stand up for what they believe and don't back down from what they feel is right.

Hey, it's hot out here.
And it's a tough primary between Ritter and House Rep. Kenneth Green.
Ritter, standing outside the Hartford Seminary said: "It's a lot like sports. When you work hard and play hard, you expect to win. But sometimes the ball goes up in the air and things happen."
(Oh, sports metaphors....you're my kryptonite.)
Ritter said he's also surprised at the low turnout being reported.
"When you consider there are five state-wide primaries and all the money spent, it's surprising."
If things go well tonight, Ritter said, he'll be showered and at the Arch Street Tavern tonight.
If not, it's a quick cameo at the bar and back home.

Garth Jennings, the director behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the FSR favorite Son of Rambow has announced that his next project will be animated. Details are currently under wraps, but in an interview Jennings revealed that they will pursue animation, though they haven't decided on whether it will be CG, cell, or one of the various other types.
In what is a smart and logical move, and thus very un-Hollywood, Jennings said they're spending a lot of time nailing down the story and getting it right before they move into production or start talking about it a lot. Brilliant! The only downside to this technique is we, the audience, have absolutely no idea what is coming, but I'm sure as the project moves along he'll throw us a bone and we'll know what this is all about.
Son of Rambow hits theaters on May 2nd.

MANITOU SPRINGS —Six generations of Joanne Garrison's family have lived here, and her grand two-story home built next to Fountain Creek in 1890 weathered a 100-year flood in 1902 and, by inches, it survived Friday's flash flood and the nearly 4-foot wall of debris-choked muddy water that came with it.
But the bridge to her home, her yard and even the gas line were swept away — cutting off the residence from Manitou Avenue.
"Nothing like this has ever happened here," the 81-year-old Garrison said. She believes the relatively small storm Friday caused more property damage here than the historic flood.
There have been harder rains in town history, but the effects now are amplified because of last year's Waldo Canyon fire — the disaster that keeps on taking.
This past week, Manitou Springs experienced more of the inevitable aftereffects of an 18,000-acre burn area within a 19,000-acre perimeter affecting 22 basins, including Williams Canyon and other drainages that menace this town of about 5,000 and its environs.
So far in August, Manitou Springs has received almost 4 inches of rain, the National Weather Service reports, and storms keep rolling in. As soils become more saturated, as erosion worsens and culverts and natural drains become increasingly clogged, odds stack up against the city.
The worst could be over — or not.
"It came so fast"
Mudslide and debris flow prediction is an inexact science, said Lynn Highland, coordinator of the Golden-based U.S. Geological Survey National Landslide Information Center.
It was a given that rainfalls of a certain amount and duration would scour charred hillsides unable to absorb moisture, and that the coalescing waters, mud, rocks, timbers and other debris would become denser and deadlier — bursting like a dam and racing down slopes at 35 to 50 mph through U.S. 24 and Manitou Springs.
Yet even with flash flood warnings, most were caught off guard by the speed and force of the debris flows.
"It came so fast," Garrison said. She was walking home from a benefit supper at a church hall and was lucky, she said, not to have been on Manitou Avenue when the flood roared by, crushing or washing away homes and cars in its path
"I had a feeling I shouldn't go on Manitou," she said.
On Wednesday, a group of Fort Carson soldiers and their wives worked to dislodge and clear bridge timbers at Garrison's home, while her son, Brian Eflin, from Utah, hurried to move his mother and her possessions before the next mudslide.
A year ago, U.S. Geological Services researchers reported on the high probability of just such disasters post-wildfire.
"I think it was possible to prevent this. This is the third time it's happened (in recent months)," said well-known local artist Charles Rockey, who sat holding his cane on a bench across from his ruined Cañon Avenue studio Wednesday morning. Volunteers mucked out his basement, trying to rescue at least some wooden frames from the mess.
"It was fantastic the people who came from the high ground in town to help us down here," Rockey said. "They weren't affected at all. There must have been 300 people out here the next morning."
He said he doesn't understand why barriers weren't built to protect the town, or at least why more advance warning wasn't given.
Flash flood warnings were issued, but no one knew exactly what was coming. U.S. 24 wasn't closed until after a life was lost.
One and a half inches of rain fell in an hour on the burn scar Friday, said David Mau, USGS office chief in Pueblo. The peak flow of Fountain Creek during the rainstorm, at a gauge 2 miles east of town, was 1,500 cubic feet a second. Though well above the stream's normal flow of 10 cfs, it wouldn't have caused much, if any, destruction without its load of debris, Mau said.
The volume of stream-carried debris from these recent rain events is still being calculated, he said.
A 53-year-old man died when he and his car were trapped by muddy debris on U.S. 24. Six homes were destroyed. A few dozen more homes and businesses were damaged. The damage extended to Cañon and Park avenues, bridges, culverts and water, gas and sewer lines.
As some volunteers cleaned up Wednesday, others stood on street corners holding signs advertising free tetanus shots.
"This sludge left behind is toxic," Rockey said. "They're just leaving it in the creek bed."
In Monday's repeat flash flood, a 17-year-old girl suffered blunt-force trauma and drowned after, according to some reports, she tried to shelter herself from the storm under a bridge.
"The main thing to remember in a storm event is to get out of the way. Get to higher ground," Mau said.
When you hear the roar of debris flow or see boulders rolling, it's intuitive for many to "go up," but many people at first try to outrun flash floods, Highland said.
"You can't outrun one of them," she said.
Varied terrain
Attempting to forecast debris flows isn't an exact science, Highland said, and it's particularly difficult in Colorado, where the terrain is so varied as to gradient, soil composition and vegetation.
One year ago, U.S. Geological Survey scientists, using varying amounts of rainfall, calculated the probability of crushing debris flows from 22 drainage basins or drainages pouring onto U.S. 24 or elsewhere along the burn-area boundary. At least 10 basins appear to have the potential to affect Manitou Springs.
USGS Water Science Center researchers Kristine Verdin and Jean Dupree looked at the steepness of terrain, the soil characteristics and burn severity, which can render soil unable to absorb water, for 22 basins and, using models derived from statistical evaluations of recently burned basins throughout the intermountain West, estimated the probability of debris flows.
For a one-hour storm producing 1.14 inches, or 29 mm, the probability ranged from less than 1 percent in some basins up to 54 percent in others. For a storm that produced 1.65 inches, or 42 mm, in an hour, the probability shot as high as 74 percent for some basins.
The researchers also estimated debris-flow volumes. But those estimates ranged from a low of 1,500 cubic meters (1,961 cubic yards) to more than 100,000 cubic meters (130,800 cubic yards). A regular-size pickup truck bed holds about 3 cubic yards.
Even such broad estimates require a tremendous amount of data collection and analysis, and they're only good for about three years as conditions on the ground change — primarily as vegetation takes hold again.
The Colorado Department of Transportation on Thursday announced it will monitor and, when necessary, close U.S. 24 between Cave of the Winds and Cascade (bookending Manitou Springs) through Oct. 1. CDOT will close the highway when either the National Weather Service issues a flash flood warning or when its rain gauges detect that a quarter-inch of rain or more has fallen in the burn area, CDOT spokesman Bob Wilson said.
CDOT is also developing a monitoring system using road sensors or perhaps cameras tied to a warning system of flashing electronic road signs to alert drivers to current conditions. Information on closures is also available at cotrip.org, or by calling 511 from a cellphone.
CDOT is continuing work on a project begun earlier to construct or enlarge culverts and pipelines to improve drainage along U.S. 24, Wilson said. Officials estimate an additional $5 million is needed to expand this ongoing infrastructure project.
As for some residents' wish that someone could barricade Manitou Springs, Mau said it simply isn't feasible to put up barriers against debris flows on this scale for a host of reasons, including daunting logistics, blocking roadways, interfering with water rights and simply diverting flows and problems elsewhere — all at a high cost — when the burn scar will heal in 10 years, or perhaps longer.
Until then, the shadow of the Waldo Canyon fire will continue to loom large.

Variety: In Hitchcock movies, innocent men struggle to clear their names. In "Arbitrage," the opposite is true: Billionaire hedge fund manager Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is guilty of fraud, infidelity and murder, but he walks free of consequence in a system fueled by money. If that cold business-as-usual philosophy sounds cynical, don't tell writer-director Nicholas Jarecki, who seems oddly nonjudgmental about the iffy morality in his high-toned narrative debut. "Arbitrage" never lets Miller squirm for long, whether cooking the books or covering up the accidental death of his mistress. Such smart, adult-targeted fare should pay dividends for the right distrib.
THR: The threat of a Madoff-like collapse adds timeliness and tension to Nicholas Jarecki's Arbitrage, a screw-turner about a man whose greed may have finally caught up to him. Familiar but not stale, and greatly helped by Richard Gere's fine-tuned performance, it has strong commercial potential.

Orlando Pinero, owner of Cafe Rio Blanco in downtown Aiken, says having to close on Monday due to the weather was a financial hit, but the safety of his employees comes first. (January 11, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, January 11, 2011
AIKEN, S.C.---When a winter storm forces Walmart to close its doors, you know it's serious business. The storm hit local businesses hard.
Deborah and Orlando Pinero, owners of Cafe Rio Blanco, had to close Monday, and they lost money. Now the doors are back open.
"You do take a hit financially, but I believe safety comes first," Orlando said. "I would guess it's a 10% hit for the week."
Orlando reopened the restaurant hoping to get some customers and bring in more money. But as a dad of two, safety is his first priority.
"I prefer for my employees to be safe than to come here and open up and not have a lot of customer base," he said.
Many of the businesses in downtown Aiken were closed for a second day, so people were happy to see Cafe Rio Blanco open. Customers like the family atmosphere. Deborah and Orlando say their young employees are like family.
"I'm a mom, and I know their moms were freaking out, so we closed," Deborah said.
Other businesses were hit harder. The Equine Divine says they've lost over a thousand dollars in sales. The Aiken Quilt Shoppe opened for a little while, but then they decided to close because no one was shopping. They could be out thousands if the weather doesn't improve.
Danny Minolfo works at Lionel Smith. They reopened after a snow day Money and were happy to find a place to eat.
"For us to be open, it was more of a service to our customers, and the same thing with Rio Blanco being open...it's to service the people downtown," Danny said.
Orlando says even though it's cold outside, Rio Blanco will stay open for business all week. He's hoping their lively music and food will welcome those wanting a warm place to get a bite.
"At least we are open for the businesses that are open downtown, so they can find something to eat," he said. "Some Cuban food."
And an escape to a tropical place...at least for a little while.
Most downtown Aiken businesses are expected to be open Wednesday.

Aussie-U.S. Yield Gap May Reach December Low: Technical Analysis
The spread between yields on 10-year Australian government bonds and similar-dated U.S. Treasuries may decline to the narrowest since December, RBC Capital Markets said in a report, citing trading patterns.
The gap, which was at 195 basis points today, may fall toward 173 basis points after it declined last week to below 188, the 23.6 percent retracement of a drop last year from the 242.28 high of Oct. 17, to the Dec. 26 low of 170.96, RBC said in a research note from Toronto-based analysts Paul Borean and George Davis. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Investors may want to take on trades that benefit from a tightening in spreads as the gap rises toward 198 basis points, "with the trade looking even more compelling near 206 and 212," Borean and Davis wrote. "The medium and longer-term bases at 179 and 173 serve as target levels in this regard."
RBC also said trading patterns indicate Australian three-year and 10-year bond futures may extend recent declines, while an increase in the spread between the two probably has run its course.
Three-year futures may fall toward 95.95, and would need to rally above 96.52 for RBC to change its forecast for declines, the analysts wrote. Ten-year contracts are likely to slide toward 95.33, provided they close below 95.93, according to the note. The spread between the futures may approach 58 basis points, then drop toward 39, Borean and Davis wrote.
Three-year bond futures for June delivery were at 96.15 as of 12:10 p.m. in Sydney, from 96.20 yesterday, according to prices from the Sydney Futures Exchange. The 10-year contract was at 95.61 from 95.68, while the spread between the two was 55 basis points from 51.
A resistance level is an area on a chart where analysts anticipate orders to sell a currency will be grouped and a support level is an area where they expect buy orders to be clustered. Fibonacci analysis is based on the theory that prices rise or fall by certain percentages after reaching a high or low.
In technical analysis, investors and analysts study charts of trading patterns and prices to predict changes in a security, currency or index.

A Florida prisoner who escaped after allegedly stabbing a detective with his eyeglasses has been shot and killed by law enforcement officers near Dallas.
The Southlake, Texas, Department of Public Safety posted on Facebook Saturday morning that Alberto Morales was shot shortly before midnight following a foot chase. Police responded to an area near Lake Grapevine in north Texas after receiving information from a local resident.
Morales was on the run for days. Schools in Southlake had been on a "soft perimeter" status since Morales first escaped. Thursday, a $20,000 reward was offered for any information leading to Morales' capture.
The 42-year-old Morales was a convicted sex offender. He escaped Monday at a Walmart store parking lot in Grapevine, a community near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Police say he used a sharp piece from his eyeglasses to stab a Miami-Dade detective who was transferring him by car to Nevada.
