When it comes to highways, Oregon has been in a maintenance mode for close to a decade. Without any increases in the state gas tax, the Oregon Department of Transportation has had to make maintenance its top priority and dole out money sparingly for highway enhancements.
The result has been a decline statewide in our highway system. The roads havent kept pace with the traffic in some areas of the state. Several areas are in need of bypasses and road improvements in order to meet increases in traffic, but needed projects are placed on priority lists. The money to accomplish all that is needed isnt available.
Oregonians have a hard time understanding why their roads are not like they once were the best in the country. They blame ODOT. Few citizens stop to consider what it costs just to maintain roads, much less enhance existing roads and build new ones.
The real blame belongs with the legislatures of the 1990s, which refused to address Oregons highway needs and the impact more traffic was having on the roads. The 1999 session knew it had some catching up to do. But rather than tackle the issue head on, it proposed a gas tax increase along with elimination of the weight-mile tax on trucks. The shift in the burden of funding highway improvements didnt sit well with voters, and when combined with spiraling gas prices, the measure was trounced at the polls as it should have been.
No one expected the 2001 Legislature to do much about highway funding. An increase in the gas tax and restructuring of the tax on trucks would be off limits due to the 1999 debacle. But Rep. Bruce Starr, R-Hillsboro, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, pushed through a plan that resulted in bipartisan support and both Oregon AAA and the trucking industry voicing approval. HB 2142 will provide $400 million in bonding authority for road and bridge improvements. A reasonable increase in vehicle registration fees will provide the financial backing for the plan.
Oregonians will pay more $13 for registering a car and $80 for a truck. But the increase about the equivalent to a 2-cent rise in the gas tax is reasonable. Oregon long has had one of the least expensive vehicle registration fees in the country. Its not unfair to ask people who drive to help pay a little more so that the roads they drive on can be improved. And instead of paying every time they pull up to the pump, well pay once every two years when we register our vehicles.
The plan isnt going to solve Oregons highway woes. Needs far outweigh available resources for example, the new Bend parkway alone cost more than $100 million. But the bill, if it makes it through the Senate and gets the governors signature, provides some new money new dollars that highways havent seen for a decade.
Oregon has ignored its highways long enough. Catching up to where we should be will take a lot more than the $400 million a year HB 2142 will provide. But the modest increase each of us will pay is a start to putting us on the right road.

John Merrow and Lorraine Monroe: New TC Trustees
Published in Inside - Volume VI, No. 6
Two well-respected leaders in education joined the Teachers College Board of Trustees. They are John Merrow, Executive Producer and President of Learning Matters Inc. and Executive Editor of "The Merrow Report"; and Lorraine Monroe, Executive Director of the School Leadership Academy at the Center for Educational Innovation.
As a Trustee, Merrow said, he hopes "to be of help in getting the best schools of education, like TC, to take the lead in educating teachers."
As President of Learning Matters Inc., which he established in 1995, he works on television and radio programs that focus on education and directs the effort to train youth to celebrate their own public service messages.
Learning Matters, Inc. is the not-for-profit corporation that produces "The Merrow Report," a nationally broadcast PBS documentary series that he created in 1992, which looks at issues that shape the way people live and work "through the prism of education."
His latest series for PBS, "School Sleuth" had him "playing detective." In the show, he defined the characteristics of excellent schools and each segment focused on these characteristics. Even in its entertaining detective guise, the series had a serious point. Merrow said, "The show helped to find the difference between good enough and excellent qualities of schools." His book, Choosing Excellence, which will be published in April, will focus on the issues that were brought up in the series. As a former high school teacher, Merrow began his career in public broadcasting at National Public Radio (NPR) with an hour-long show about school finance. He created and hosted the weekly series, "Options in Education."
In 1982, Merrow "ventured into television" with a seven-part series about America's Youth, "Your Children, Our Children." He then covered youth and education for five years on "The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour" and two years at The Learning Channel.
Merrow is currently on the
Board of Directors at the Hechinger Institute at Teachers College. He
received his M.A. from Indiana University and his Ed.D. from Harvard
University Graduate School of Education.
Nationally recognized teacher and principal, TC alumna, and the Executive Director of the School Leadership Academy (SLA) at the Center for Educational Innovation in New York City, Lorraine Monroe also recently joined the TC Board of Trustees to share some of her vast experience in education.
Monroe heads SLA, a program to teach strategies for innovation and excellence to principals and school administrators in the Center for Educational Innovation that began as an operating unit of the Manhattan Institute in 1989. The Center's mission is "to transform public education in America by shifting accountability from centralized bureaucracies to local schools and by creating systems of school choice for communities."
Monroe has been an administrator at several high schools in New York City and was Chief Executive for Instruction for the New York City Board of Education. She has taught at Bank Street College and is the founder of its Center for Minority Achievement.
In 1991, she opened the Frederick Douglass Academy, an experimental public high school in Harlem designed to help poor urban children graduate and go to college. The test scores at the academy quickly shot to among the top in all of New York City.
Monroe left the academy in 1997 to found the School Leadership Academy, a business-sponsored non-profit organization that aims to foster creative school leadership. Her first book, Nothing's Impossible: Leadership Lessons from Inside and Outside the Classroom, builds upon her 30 years experience as an educator.
She preaches what she calls the "Monroe Doctrine" which she describes as a hands-on approach in educating inner-city youth by holding students to high standards and helping them achieve these standards.
"Nothing is impossible. Children can learn anything that teachers put before them," said Monroe. "We helped kids who had been 'discounted' do incredible stuff."
As a member of former Gov. Mario Cuomo's Commission for the Study of Youth Crime and Violence and Reform of the Juvenile Justice System, she helped develop New York State's K-12 curriculum guide titled, "Creating a More Human and Violence-Free Society Through Schooling: Understanding and Valuing Cultural Differences."
Monroe received her Ed.D. from Teachers College in 1985 in Educational Administration. She received her M.S. from Bank Street College and her B.A. from Hunter College. She also received honorary degrees from several institutions.previous page

Planning panel criteria spark Board of Supervisors clash
The question of where one of Placer County Planning Commission's two at-large members should live has been settled – but not before county supervisors supporting opening the post to city residents faced criticism over the change.
Until a week ago Tuesday, the at-large commissioner for the county west of the Sierra crest was required to live in the unincorporated area of Placer County and not in the cities of Lincoln, Colfax, Rocklin, Roseville and Auburn, or the town of Loomis.
On a 4-1 vote, Placer County supervisors decided to change the requirement, allowing all Placer County residents west of the crest to apply.
Wayne Nader, an Auburn resident who has served on the county's charter-review commission, spoke against the move at the Feb. 5 board meeting.
Nader told the board that he had initially applied for the post but then removed his name after learning of the attempt to change ordinance language establishing criteria for the at-large selection.
"I haven't heard a compelling reason why this amendment should be made so that those in cities can make decisions in unincorporated areas," Nader said.
But supervisors Jennifer Montgomery, Kirk Uhler, Jack Duran and Robert Weygandt dug in on an ordinance amendment they had already initially OK'd at a meeting in Tahoe last month.
"I really don't understand what the self-interest is," Roseville-area Supervisor Jack Duran said. "If anything, this shows how progressive we are in our thought processes. As supervisors, we vote on issues throughout the county and I value input, no matter where it comes from."
The county's Planning Commission, which makes decisions on developments and planning issues, is composed of seven members. Supervisors nominate one planning commissioner from each of their five districts. At-large positions are chosen by the board as a whole from the eastern and western slopes of the Sierra in Placer County.
About 65 percent of the county's population lives within city or town boundaries.
Nader said that a selection from a city would have bias toward those jurisdictions.
The change had more to do with "political interests than looking out for constituents," Nader said.
"You have the trust of the voters when you do things like this and it erodes that trust," Nader said.
Supervisor Jim Holmes, whose district takes in parts of cities such as Rocklin but also a swath of unincorporated areas in the mid-county region, was the lone vote against the amendment.
Holmes said that nine candidates from unincorporated areas had already stepped up to be selected for the planning post and the list included several well-qualified "outstanding" residents, including a banker, architect and former school superintendent.
Candidates as of Feb. 6 were Roy West, David Karleskint, Alan Shuttleworth, Richard Lewis, Monique Margaux, Noe Fierros, Gerald Brentnall, Don Belden and Christine Turner.
"Are none of these qualified?" Holmes asked.
Montgomery rejoindered with," Is that a rhetorical question?"
Montgomery said that the debate Feb. 5 wasn't about whether the candidates are qualified.
"It's 'What is the pool and whether broadening it is a bad choice?'" Montgomery said.
Nader's comments were bolstered by Penryn's Muriel Davis, who said she objected to having the issue initially brought up as a consent item on a Tahoe meeting's agenda rather than at Auburn.
Davis asked supervisors to have more discussions at the municipal advisory commission level before bringing it up before the board in Auburn.

Zany Wooden Toys that Whiz, Spin, Pop and Fly: 28 Projects You Can Build from the Toy Inventor's Workshop
By Bob Gilsdorf
Fox Chapel Publishing
1970 Broad Street
East Petersburg, PA 17520
Do you have a child who's interested in woodworking? If you're a parent who has tools, time, and some basic woodworking knowledge, then you and your child may enjoy completing the 28 projects found in
Zany Wooden Toys that Whiz, Spin, Pop and Fly
by Bob Gilsdorf.
In our current society where we are constantly bombarded with technology that provides instant gratification, the thought of actually making a toy sounds appealing. I think woodworking could provide an opportunity to teach kids about hard work and patience. Imagine, too, the pride they would feel when playing with a toy made by their very own hands.
The toy projects are divided into categories: Shooters, Launchers, Games, Toys, and Gumball Machines. Each project begins with a basic layout of the project followed by wood patterns, a list of materials and tools, and step-by-step instructions complete with photos or drawings. The material in this guide seems organized and easy to follow, but I do admit this is coming from someone with zero woodworking skills.
For those of you who are like me and not too familiar with woodworking, the appendix will come in very handy. It contains woodworking basics, such as selecting and cutting wood, drilling holes, how to nail, and decorating and finishing your wooden toy projects. The appendix also has time-saving tips as well as a list of toy-making supplies that should be kept on hand. Safety and working with small children are also discussed.
Zany Wooden Toys, that Whiz, Spin, Pop and Fly
is the perfect book for those who love hands-on projects and aren't afraid to use a saw. For just $19.95, you and your child will not only be building toys but memories as well!

It's been seven years since Fulton State Hospital partnered with the National Center for Trauma-Informed Care to improve the way it helps clients living with traumatic experience. Now, with an estimated one in four people whose daily decisions are impacted by trauma they've experienced, the hospital hopes to share some of that new knowledge with the Fulton community.
Fulton State Hospital is hosting a Trauma Informed Care training session presented by the National Center for Trauma-Informed Care, 8:30 a.m. to noon July 29 in the Missouri School for the Deaf Auditorium.
The event is free and open to the public.
Fulton State Hospital Chief Operating Officer Marty Martin-Forman said the consultants and speakers would tour the hospital, but she felt the public could gain benefit from a discussion on trauma and how it affects us.
"One in four people have been so traumatized in their life that it affects the way they make decisions, and that's everybody," Martin-Forman said. "That's the entire population. It's not just individuals who are mentally ill, it's all of us who live a life that trauma can affect us."

I followed the Guilford High School girls basketball team through their 2003-2004 season for a story for Northeast, the Courant's former Sunday magazine. Northeast was a great outlet for the Courant photographers to produce in-depth picture stories. I spent many hours at practices and games photographing the team throughout the season. One of my favorite photos was of a group of dads cheering on their daughters at a home game sucking on Tootsie pops - a ritual many Guilford fans adopted as a show of solidarity with coach Jim Rooney who was famous for constantly having one in his mouth during games as a substitute for smoking. In the photo, Paul Bruton, John Connolly, and Matt Hoey, (l-r) applaud as their team battles rival Hillhouse High (Bruton had just finished his Tootsie pop when I took this photo.) Its the quirky little details that you sometimes find while working on stories that add so much.
So, I had an delightful sense of deja vu while shooting the UConn women demolishing Lehigh Saturday night when veteran AP photographer Bob Child elbowed me as I sat down next to him on the baseline at the start of the second half. He was pointing out Kathy Auriemma, wife of head coach Geno Auriemma, with friend Lauren McCarrick and Marcia Auriemma, Geno's mom, applauding the team while sucking on - you guessed it - Tootsie Pops. I couldn't believe it - such a funny replay of a favorite moment captured years ago! (Thanks for the heads up, Bob!)
PRO TIP: You never know what you may find while on assignment or out just hunting for interesting photos. Be prepared for anything.
EQUIPMENT: Top photo - Nikon D300 with a 28mm lens. Bottom photo - D300S with an 80-200mm zoom lens.

Essentials of Skin Laceration Repair - Article
ABSTRACT: Skin laceration repair is an important skill in family medicine. Sutures, tissue adhesives, staples, and skin-closure tapes are options in the outpatient setting. Physicians should be familiar with various suturing techniques, including simple, running, and half-buried mattress (corner) sutures. Although suturing is the preferred method for laceration repair, tissue adhesives are similar in patient satisfaction, infection rates, and scarring risk in low skin-tension areas and may be more cost-effective. The tissue adhesive hair apposition technique also is effective in repairing scalp lacerations. The sting of local anesthesia injections can be lessened by using smaller gauge needles, administering the injection slowly, and warming or buffering the solution. Studies have shown that tap water is safe to use for irrigation, that white petrolatum ointment is as effective as antibiotic ointment in postprocedure care, and that wetting the wound as early as 12 hours after repair does not increase the risk of infection. Patient education and appropriate procedural coding are important after the repair.

|Remember: May 16th is "National Motorcycle Riders Day" - Gottlieb Daimler (who later formed the Daimler-Benz Corporation) built the first motorcycle in 1885. It had one wheel in the front, one in the back plus spring-loaded outrigger wheels on each side. It was made mostly of wood with iron-banded, wooden-spoked wheels. It was powered by a single-cylinder engine, and probably had a spray-type carburetor. Rumor has it that the bike provided a "bone crusher" ride. Motorcycle Museum Online
|Blessing: 1 PM on Sunday May 16th at Municipal
Airport in Baldwin Michigan.
Baldwin Airport in Baldwin, Michigan USA
Concert: 7PM Saturday May 15th South of the Airport at M37
The blessing is organized by the Para-Dice Motorcycle Club of Grand Rapids. This event raises money with proceeds from the Blessing going to the St. Ann's Senior Nutrition Program, which the gate proceeds go. The "Blessing" which started in 1972, had 4 bikes and 8 riders who gathered at St. Ann Catholic Church in Baldwin, MI and received a blessing for a safe and happy riding season. Now, thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts gather in Lake County. Organizers said the 2003 crowd tripled from 2002, who gathered under sunny skies while 2002 saw light snow. Less than half an hour before the Blessing was to begin, Sheriff Bob Hilts received a report from his deputies that, "there are still bikes lined up all the way to the county line," five miles south of the Baldwin Municipal Airport. Opening both the south and north gates to the airport, two abreast, the bikes stream in for a blessing.
Oldest rider at the 2003 event was Chet Wiage, his 82-year old wife, Helen, rode as his passenger. Wiage has attended nearly every Blessing.
Though "The General" has won a lot of the Blessing's, "Oldest Mototcycle" awards and is a fixture at the event, 2003 saw a new winner: the "Oldest Motorcycle" award went to a beautifully restored, 1934 Indian Scout.
There is no award for "Strangest Motorcycle", but if there was, Idlewild's Joe Lindsey, with his maize and blue Thai taxicab would be alikely candidate. :-)
Music from biker/musicians hailing from Scottville, Greenville, and Six Lakes have rocked the crowd for nearly four hours, playing a variety of rock standards for an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd.
This wholesome family oriented happening is held every year on the third Sunday in May.
Thank you to all who attend and make this event one to remember! :-)

Pearson: This is the Friday, January 10, 2014 version of the Market Plus segment. Joining us now is Tomm Pfitzenmaier. Tomm, welcome back.
Pfitzenmaier: Thanks, Mike.
Pearson: One of the topics we didn't get a chance to discuss during the show was cotton. We saw a little bit of a sell off this week in cotton. Where do you think that market is headed?
Pfitzenmaier: I don't think it's going anywhere. Cotton is locked in a trading range here from roughly 84 or 85 to 87, 88 maybe. We've got a problem with, number one, having too much cotton and number two, it looks to us like China is going to be backing off on their cotton purchases. They're drawing from their own reserves and I just think the upside potential for domestic cotton prices is really limited.
Pearson: Alright. Now do you think a lot of those cotton acres are going to be planted to something else? Or are producers going to go ahead and --
Pfitzenmaier: Here's another issue. If you look at this crop report, last crop report and look at the yields -- Arkansas out yielded Iowa last year in corn yields. So those guys, Tennessee, all down in through there, they had phenomenal corn yields and I think if you have good corn yields and you make pretty good money growing corn there's probably a good chance you're going to take another shot at that. You talk to the people at John Deere, their cotton picker sales are off quite a bit I think for that very reason. So there's some pretty good evidence that you're going to see some of that shifting, maybe not more shifting but I think they're going to hold those acres.
Pearson: Okay. Alright. Now, as we talk about acre shifting, we've got a lot of questions this week on the bean outlook for the new crop. Rodney in Edgar, Wisconsin is asking a couple of questions here, two-part. If corn goes to $2.75 for 2014-2015 new crop, where do you see new crop beans next fall? Do you think corn is going to $2.75?
Pfitzenmaier: I guess I'd be surprised if it went quite that low. I certainly think you could go to $3.25 to $3.50, which if he's talking cash may translate to cash prices that low. But I also think you're going to see beans at $9.50, under his scenario if things are that good maybe even $9.00 on new crop beans. So, like I alluded on the show, if you're in a camp that thinks you're going to plant beans and just assuming the price is going to be good I'm not sure you should make that assumption. I think if you're going to plant the beans you better sell some beans.
Pearson: Okay. And that comes back to Tim in Crookston, Minnesota has a question, 90 million ton South American bean crop and it's getting bigger as we talked about on the show. The U.S. has hit the USDA's expectations for soybeans exports already. We've got 13, excuse me, 7 months left in the marketing year. Is global demand going to offset this large South American crop?
Pfitzenmaier: No, I think you're going to see the Chinese cancellations come along. And everybody says, well why hasn't it happened? Last year at this time we -- if you remember they had trouble getting those boats loaded out down in South America last spring and there were a bunch of them floating around waiting to get loaded, they're paying demurrage charges on them and I think they're trying to avoid that. That's why I don't think you're going to see any of those cancellations start until mid to late January this year so that has all been pushed back. But I can't see why it isn't going to come. Their prices are substantially under ours. They've got, like I said, 90 up to a 95 million metric ton just in Brazil crop. You've got Argentina doing some negotiating with their farmers to try and compensate them for the currency losses that they might incur, trying to encourage movement of their products. So I think there's trouble on the horizon there. And if you look at the futures setup, each successive month is lower. So if you hold beans thinking things are going to get better not only are you seeing the futures lower but you're probably at some point going to see the basis fall apart on you. So holding -- and you've seen that farmers have been much better sellers of beans and they have corn and that is one of the reasons why.
Pearson: No carry and it has prompted a lot of sales.
Pfitzenmaier: Exactly.
Pearson: Now, Phil in Canada, who is in Ontario, Canada, actually has kind of a tie this all together question, with the USDA in the rear view mirror what should farmers be planting in 2014? What crop offers the most hope in your opinion?
Pfitzenmaier: In my opinion it sure looks to me like if you compare November 11 - soybean prices at $11.00 versus Corn, December of '14 corn around $2.60, I mean $4.60, to me corn makes a lot more sense than planting beans do. Now, maybe you're wanting to get back in a rotation or maybe you've got some disease thing or maybe your tight on cash and you have to plant beans because you don't have the money to plant a corn crop, but overall it looks to me like corn is going to be more profitable. And the other thing about corn that I think you cannot avoid thinking about is that I think there's more upside potential in corn. When farmers go out to plant a crop they're planning, expecting that whatever they put out there is going to yield well. You don't go out there saying it's going to be a terrible crop or you wouldn't do it. By definition it's an act of optimism. So if that's the case, it looks to me like there's a lot more upside potential on a good year for corn than beans. Maybe your beans can go from 50 to 60 but your corn can go from 180 to 250 under the right circumstances and I think people think about that. So to me corn still wins.
Pearson: Okay.
Pfitzenmaier: I guess that was a long answer to a short question.
Pearson: Now, we've talked corn and beans, we've got a couple of wheat questions. Mark in Enterprise, Kansas is asking, with this horrible spate of cold weather, the polar vortex that has come on, do you think we're going to see a lot of winter wheat kill?
Pfitzenmaier: I would never comment about winter kill on wheat in January. I think you have to get into March, April to see that. I guess you'd have to ask somebody in Kansas. They know more about that than I would -- we hear that talked about every winter and sometimes it happens but most of the time it doesn't. So I guess I wouldn't be counting on that a lot.
Pearson: Okay. And the trade isn't pricing any winter kill in as we've seen as these markets continue to slide.
Pfitzenmaier: Right, and there's a lot of wheat around, a lot of wheat in the world so maybe if there's some winter wheat, winter kill it may not matter all that much.
Pearson: Yeah. Now, Gus in North Dakota was curious, as we look at the Minneapolis and the Kansas City contracts, typically we see a premium for the Minneapolis this time of year but this year they're trading roughly identical. What has happened?
Pfitzenmaier: To be honest with you I don't follow that market that closely so I guess I'm not sure.
Pearson: Alright. Well, Tomm, we appreciate you having us with us. We're going to see if farmers take your advice and we see some projected bean acres go back to corn.
Pfitzenmaier: Yeah, we'll see.
Pearson: Thanks for being with us. Have a great week. And thanks to you for sending in your questions via Facebook and Twitter. Please continue to do so and we will have expert analysis for you every single week. Thanks for watching.

Making a movie about a character whose name you never reveal sounds backwards and bizarre. How are we supposed to identify with the protagonist if we don't even know what to call him? But many films go that route, including this week's movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, which doesn't name the man or the boy who occupy almost every frame of it. That's in keeping with McCarthy's novel, which is spare and bleak and doesn't use much punctuation, either. (The apocalypse wiped out most of the world's apostrophes.) Here are seven other movies whose central characters' names are kept hidden from us.
Fight Club. Currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, this modern classic follows novelist Chuck Palahniuk's lead by not naming the narrator, played by Edward Norton and identified simply as "The Narrator" in the credits. (Some viewers have thought the character is named Jack due to the Narrator's use of expressions like "I am Jack's cold sweat" and "I am Jack's raging bile duct," but he'd previously established that these are metaphors adapted from an old educational pamphlet he read where "Jack" was the generic name given.) The Narrator is intended to represent 20th-century men in general: repressed, emasculated, and timid. Of course, if you've seen the movie, you know we might actually wind up learning his name after all....
Bad Lieutenant. Abel Ferrara's excruciatingly sordid tale of an amoral cop seeking redemption is famous for Harvey Keitel's intense lead performance. He's only ever called "Lieutenant" by the other characters, though; his actual name is not revealed. This mean what happens to him could happen to any of us, making it a cautionary tale? Is it a reminder that drug abuse and related depravity strip a person of his identity? Whatever the case, Werner Herzog's remake/sequel/whatever it is, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, doesn't grant its main character any such anonymity. He's called Terence McDonaugh.
The Man with No Name trilogy. Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly all star Clint Eastwood as a mysterious gunslinger -- presumably the same character in each film, though that's not expressly conveyed -- who travels the American West in the mid-1800s. One person calls him "Joe," once, in A Fistful of Dollars; after that he's just given nicknames like Manco and Blondie. The character is meant to be cryptic and inscrutable, an outsider and a drifter with no roots. What better way to convey that someone isn't part of normal society than to strip him of the one thing everyone in society has?
Zombieland. Unlike the other films on this list, the subject of names actually comes up in Zombieland, when Woody Harrelson declares he doesn't want to know anybody's lest he get emotionally attached. Consequently, he and the others are called by the cities they're from or trying to get to: Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, Little Rock. (A college girl that Columbus likes is identified only by her apartment number: 406.) In the end, one of the characters reveals her real name, an indication that it's OK for them all to be friends now. Aww.
Blindness. Just as in Jose Saramago's novel, the movie version of Blindness doesn't bother with names. Instead, as a sudden epidemic of blindness cripples a city and forces its victims into quarantined camps, the people are known by descriptions: the doctor, the doctor's wife, etc. One interpretation is that people you can't see might as well be anonymous; another is that in a time of crisis such as this, when makeshift families and alliances must be formed, traditional surnames are irrelevant.
Yes. Written and directed by Sally Potter, this 2004 drama is an odd film anyway. Almost all of the dialogue is in rhyming iambic pentameter; the fact that the two main characters and the maid who serves as narrator don't have names is almost unremarkable in comparison. The film is not intended to be strictly realistic -- real people, apart from Jesse Jackson, don't speak in rhyme -- but rather allegorical, so calling the central characters He and She seems appropriate.
Antichrist. Lars von Trier's latest batch of artistic weirdness and intentional provocation stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg as a couple grieving the death of their child. As in Yes, they are just called He and She. Allegories are at play here, too. Besides, if you see Antichrist, you'll probably come away thinking that the failure to name the film's only two characters is the least odd thing about it. Chaos reigns.

Sorry Jack, Chucky's Back! Well, in a way. Brad Dourif, acclaimed film and TV actor as well as voice of the aforementioned iconic killer doll, has signed up to appear on an upcoming episode of the popular CBS crime procedural Criminal Minds.
The exact nature of Dourif's role has yet to be revealed, but the network does refer to it as a "pivotal role", so we know it will be something meaty at least. Given Dourif's long history of playing psychotic villains, the natural assumption would be that he'll be portraying the episode's serial killer (or "unsub" in Criminal Minds lingo). That said, the episode is being directed by series star Matthew Gray Gubler, whose previous efforts behind the camera have been met with much praise. A creative guy like Gubler might be planning to cast outside Dourif's usual box, and place him in a more heroic role.
Personally, I hope they choose the first option. Few actors play crazy better than Dourif, and I don't just mean Chucky. Other terrifically nutty Dourif roles include the demon-possessed Gemini Killer in the criminally underrated sequel The Exorcist III, and my personal favorite, possibly psychic serial killer Luther Lee Boggs on The X-Files. Beyond The Sea is still one of my favorite all-time X-Files episodes, and if you haven't seen it, I implore you to check it out, and experience Dourif's tour-de-force performance for yourself. Dourif also portrayed the not-crazy but still evil Grima Wormtongue in the Lord Of The Rings films, one of Frank Booth's thugs in Blue Velvet, and of course the tragic Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
Anyway, enough gushing over Dourif. The Gubler directed episode in question is titled "The Lesson", and will most likely air in December or January. Let's hope Dourif brings his usual magic to the show.
Are you excited to see Brad Dourif invade Criminal Minds? Will he be a hero or a villain?


text: September 09, 2013 - Pope Francis on Sunday urged all to continue praying for peace in the Middle East and the world, saying the search for peace is a long one that requires patience and perseverance. Speaking during the weekly midday "Angelus" prayer in Rome's St. Peter's Square, the Pope also condemned the proliferation of wars and conflicts and questioned whether they were wars about real problems or commercial wars to sell arms on the black market. His remarks came just hours after an estimated 100 thousand people joined him for 5 hours of prayer and adoration of the Holy Sacrament in the same square Saturday evening as part of the events for a special day of prayer and fasting for peace in Syria and the world called by him. Hundreds of thousands across the globe adhered to his call in different ways. "The war against evil means saying no a fratricidal hatred and the lies which feed it, saying no to violence in all its forms, saying no to the proliferation of arms and the illegal trade in arms," the Pope said, insisting there should be no other interests than those of peace and the common good. "The violence and devastation in Syria should stop immediately and we should work with renewed commitment for a just solution to this fratricidal conflict," Pope Francis urged, calling for peace in Egypt, Iraq and Lebanon as well. The appeals for peace come as the United States and France consider military action to punish Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad over a chemical weapons attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of people. Western countries blame Assad for the attack although the Syrian government denies responsibility. Below is a translation of Pope Francis' 'Angelus' address:Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!In the Gospel for today, Jesus reiterates the conditions for being his disciples: not putting anything before your love for Him, carrying your cross, and following Him. Many people came up to Jesus, wanted to be one of His followers; and this would happen especially in the wake of some prodigious dream, that indicated Him as the Messiah, the King of Israel. But Jesus doesn't want to create illusions for anyone. He knows full well what awaits Him in Jerusalem, the road that the Father is asking Him to take: it's the road of the cross, of sacrificing Himself for the redemption of our sins. Following Jesus doesn't mean taking part in a triumphal parade! It means sharing in His merciful love, becoming part of His great mission of mercy towards each and every man. The mission of Jesus is precisely a mission of mercy, of forgiveness, of love! Jesus is so merciful! And this universal forgiveness, this mercy, comes through the cross.Jesus doesn't want to carry out this mission alone: He wants to involve us too, in the mission that the Father entrusted to Him. After the resurrection, He will say to His disciples. "As the Father sent me, so am I sending you… If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven" (John 20, 21.22). A disciple of Jesus gives up all his or her goods, because he or she has found in Him the greatest Good, within which every other good receives its true worth and meaning: family relations, other relationships, work, cultural and economic wealth, and so forth… A Christian detaches from everything, and then finds everything in the logic of the Gospel, the logic of love and service.To explain this requirement, Jesus uses two parables: the one of the tower to be built, and the one of the king who goes to war. The second parable goes like this: "What king, marching to war against another king, would not first sit down and consider whether with ten thousand men he could stand up to the other, who was advancing against him with twenty thousand? If not, then while the other king was still a long way off, he would send envoys to sue for peace" (Luke 14, 31-32). Here Jesus doesn't want to discuss war, it's only a parable. But at this moment in time, when we're strongly praying for peace, this Word of the Lord affects us closely, and fundamentally it says: there's a deeper war we must fight, all of us! It's the strong and brave decision to renounce evil and its seductions, and to choose good, fully prepared to pay personally: that's following Christ, that's taking up our cross! This deep war against evil!What's the point of fighting wars, many wars, if you're not capable of fighting this deep war against evil? There's no point! It's no good… This means, among other things, this war against evil means saying no to fratricidal hatred, and to the lies that it uses; saying no to violence in all its forms; saying no to the proliferation of arms and their sale on the black market. There are so many of them! There are so many of them! And the doubt always remains: this war over there, this other war over there – because there are wars everywhere – is it really a war over problems, or is it a commercial war, to sell these arms on the black market? These are the enemies we must fight, united and coherent, following no other interests but those of peace and of the common good.Dear brothers, today we also remember the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, a celebration particularly beloved by the Oriental Churches. And all of us, now, can send our warm greetings to all the brothers, sisters, bishops, monks, nuns of the Oriental Churches, Orthodox and Catholic: our warm greetings! Jesus is the sun, Mary is the first light that announces its dawning. Yesterday evening we kept vigil, calling on Her intercession in our prayer for peace in the world, especially in Syria and in the whole of the Middle East. We invoke Her now as Queen of Peace. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Queen of Peace, pray for us!Below is a translation of Pope Francis' appeal after the 'Angelus' prayer:I would like to thank everyone who, in various ways, joined in the Vigil of Prayer and Fasting yesterday evening. I thank the many people who united the offering of their sufferings. I express my gratitude to the civil authorities, as well as to the members of other Christian communities and of other religions, and to men and women of good will who have undertaken, on this occasion, periods of prayer, fasting and reflection.But the task remains: we move forward with prayer and works of peace. I invite you to continue to pray so that the violence and devastation in Syria may cease immediately and that a renewed effort be undertaken to achieve a just solution to this fratricidal conflict. Let us pray also for other countries in the Middle East, in particular for Lebanon, that it may find its hoped-for stability and continue to be a model of peaceful co-existence; for Iraq, that sectarian violence may give way to reconciliation; and that the peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians may proceed with determination and courage. Finally, let us pray for Egypt, that all Egyptians, Muslims and Christians, may commit themselves to build up together a society dedicated to the good of the whole population.The search for peace is long and demands patience and perseverance! Let us keep praying for this!

Your Opinion: Cartoonist cools it on climate change
Monday, August 8, 2011
Dear Editor:
For the last month or so I've been wondering when Jim Dyke will treat us to one of his delightful editorial cartoons ridiculing science's understanding of global climate change.
Oh, well, I guess we'll have to wait for the next big snow or a couple of nights of sub-zero mornings. That must make it easier for him to take a cheap shot.

Mass Effect 3 Ending: Change Could Have Empowered Game Writing
So now we know: BioWare is releasing free DLC this summer that will "expand on" and "add clarity to" the ending of Mass Effect 3. The ending as it stands will not change, despite fan outcry asking for the contrary for weeks now, but in some ways, perhaps this is the only move BioWare could have reasonably made.
In Ray Muzyka's comments given in BioWare's press release, he says the company hopes to find a middle ground between giving fans what they want (or at least, what BioWare thinks they want — we did a whole analysis on this possibility) and "preserving the team's artistic vision."
We've already discussed the idea of "artistic integrity" in this case, and why it is in no way harmed by completing a new ending. Many fans (and a few of us here at Game Front) believe the ending of Mass Effect 3 qualitatively isn't good enough, so that colors the artistic merit debate greatly.
Almost as widespread as the argument for the artistic integrity of the work as written is the discussion by many writers in games journalism (a great deal of them without having played the game, for some reason) about whether BioWare capitulating to fans' demands will be the death of good stories in games. If fans can band together and crowd-source the story points of their games, forcing their own vision down the throats of developers, game writing is doomed! That's the argument, anyway, and while it's fundamentally flawed — it makes several false assumptions in just that one statement — it starts on a false premise: that letting fans ask for a new ending in this one case will forever tarnish game writing as a possible mode of artistic expression.
That's horses–t. Changing the ending to Mass Effect 3 could have been great for video game writing. Here's why:
Some developers think game story doesn't matter. Ask David Jaffe or John Carmack about how important "story" is in a video game. They'd probably give you Carmack's porn analogy — it's a necessary component but it's not why you walked into the theater or fired up the Pay-Per-View. These are two very prominent game developers who think game story is subservient to game design so much, they only include it because otherwise nothing would make sense.
Meanwhile, a giant fan movement just exploded in BioWare's face because of a story element. Sure, there are precedents for fans being upset about a story and for developers to change them, but this level of outcry is unheard of. There are a lot of messages this could be telegraphing to the gaming industry, but here's perhaps the biggest one: Stories matter. Don't phone them in.
Electronic Arts and BioWare should be learning that not only are gamers concerned with story, they're so concerned that when a story they're invested in is made badly, they'll react to it. You can't slap a weak ending (for whatever reason you may have done so, be it an artistic choice, running out of time or having no idea for years how you were actually going to end the series) on a game players have purchased for the story, hoping that ending will be ignored or forgiven.
Perhaps not in all cases, but certainly in many, story is just as important a feature as anything else. That's a great lesson for the gaming industry to learn.

By D.L. Chandler
Detroit's golden boy would like to bid you "Hello Good Morning," courtesy of Diddy-Dirty Money.
In 2010, Eminem's seventh studio album, Recovery, was second in most sales worldwide behind Lady Gaga and Lady Antebellum, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Never one to rest on his laurels, the prolific MC recorded an additional verse to Diddy-Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" track, replacing T.I.'s appearance on the original version. Slim Shady's humorous verses sound right at home over producer Danja's club-ready banger.
"Hello and good morning, baby I didn't mean to the turn the bad/ I know you're feeling angry, just a tad 'cause I took you to the drive-thru, and made you pay the tab," Em rhymes. "Girl, I'm so cheap, I can turn your happy meal sad, You're loco, don't go mistaking me for a mogul/ I'm more like Boogle, McLovin', McDonald's, McMuffin/ Breakfast burritos, Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos, Tostitos/ That'll be the only thing I feed hoes."
Since the leak of the reported reference track "Syllables" which is rumored to be from Dr. Dre's upcoming Detox LP, news of Eminem's moving tribute track "Difficult," dedicated to his fallen friend and former collaborator Proof, also surfaced. The potty-mouthed Marshall Mathers is also slated to perform in London's famed O2 Arena at the Brit Awards 2011 in February.
Diddy-Dirty Money's Last Train To Paris LP hit shelves in December and the album, boasting features from Drake, Usher, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa, has sold 161, 266 copies to-date.

News 12 This Morning: February 16, 2009
Forget cash, checks, credit cards, and debit cards. In this economy, it seems people are willing to return to their elementary school lunchroom roots.
"I'll trade you."
Yes, bartering is back and in a big way.
Craigslist is essentially the internet's version of the classified ads.
Mostly, you see things like cars and furniture for cash, but now, you can barter.
Here are some deals I found in our area.
One guy needs a septic tank installed, and he wants to give you his 1995 GMC truck as payment. Another person says they have 22 inch chrome rims in excellent condition. They would trade for a small dog, specifically a female teacup Yorkie or a Chiuaua. I found another ad for a housekeeper. The poster is willing to trade baby items. An artist will do some custom work for you in exchange for a bedroom set, and someone else has a brand new vacuum -and would like to switch it out for your kayak. One man really doesn't want his boat anymore; he'd rather have a Glock 21.
This is very random, I know, but these are just a few of the postings I found. There are more, and it looks like these folks are willing to negotiate.
So, take a look around your house, and see what you're willing to part with.
Who knows what it could get you.

We stayed for a week at the Grand Hotel Riviera, half board, booked through Thomsons .We paid extra for a sea view and were not disappointed: the view was stunning. The room was modern , comfortable and spotless and the hotel public areas were beautiful.
The swimming pool was on the small side, but there was also a lovely large bathing platform with access to the sea.
Breakfast had a choice of both hot and cold dishes. The evening meal had several choices and the food was good. Wine prices were reasonable.
It was a 10-15 minute level walk into the centre of Sorrento where there were good restaurants and bars: we especially liked Caruso for a sumptuous evening meal, also the Foreigner's Club for lunch where there were superb views over the bay. The shops in the back streets of the old town were very touristy but the main street, Corso Italia, was stylish.
The concierge at the hotel was very helpful and booked us on the Sorrento open top bus tour and arranged for it to stop right outside the hotel to pick us up. We also visited Herculaneum and Pompeii by taking the local train ,the Circumvesuvio, which was cheap and convenient although very busy .We also booked a private people carrier ,which was cost effective as there were four of us, for the Amalfi Drive.
Altogether an excellent holiday.
A wonderful place and quite Acontrast,busy town area,excellent veiws,lots to see and trips to islands and Pompeii.Hotel Rivera was a plus and sorry to come away! Its on the list to revisit.
Very friendly and helpful hotel staff. The hotel was spotlessly clean, room was good but would have thought in a four star hotel, the room could have been a little larger. Food good, varied menus. Drinks prices were expensive, we found that most of the bars in the area were noticeably cheaper, the result was an empty hotel bar with no atmosphere. Can't help thinking that if drinks prices had been more competitive, more people would have used the hotel bar.
The area both in Sorrento and the surrounding area is very scenic.
Very friendly hotel with fantastic views. lovely room (we had a junior suite) Evening meals were of a good standard although we had to ask for time between the courses as it was otherwise straight after each other, they were happy to do this. We went on 2 trips, Pompei half day, EXCELLENT, this is not to be missed.
Also we did the exclusive boat trip around Capri, (for 12 eople) this was a full day trip including lunch and was a lovely day out, you also got time on the Island.
Did the quick tour with the Rep was quite informative and did book a meal at a restaurant called O PARRUCCHIANO. The setting was lovely, it is full of plants, however the food was a dissapointment!!
The centre is very nice for a stroll with little alleyways of shops, it is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. We did find a nice little bar about a minute from the hotel which was very reasonably priced and very friendly.
I feel the hotel and the resort are more geared towards adults and not really suitable for children due to the pool size and lack of beach/ clubs etc.

home built spherometer

this is my home built spherometer. thanks youtube uploaders; to 'carluchoparis' for the construction, and gordon waite for the mathmatics. building was a snap. calibrating and getting the math done...took careful time to ensure it was right, but done. so far, it seems to work great. i can use gordon's formula after grinds to calculate the fl and roc. i was surprised at how much 0.001 of an inch could change the roc. in the pic, it's up on some items. at this point, i just glued on the ball feet and needed it elevated so that the gauge pin didnt bottom out, to be safe.

GWF Hegel has long been considered one of the most influential and controversial thinkers of the nineteenth century, and his work continues to provoke debate in contemporary philosophy. This new book provides readers with an accessible introduction to Hegel's thought, offering a lucid and highly readable account of his Phenomenology of Spirit, Science of Logic, Philosophy of Nature, Philosophy of History, and Philosophy of Right. In a comprehensive discussion of the major works, J.M Fritzman considers crucial questions of authorial intent raised by the Phenomenology of Spirit, and discusses Hegel's conceptions of necessity and of philosophical method. In his presentation of Hegel's Logic, Fritzman evaluates the claim that logic has no presuppositions and examines whether this endorses a foundationalist or coherentist epistemology. Fritzman goes on to scrutinize Hegel's claims that history represents the progressive realization of human freedom, and details how Hegel believes that this is also expressed in art and religion.
