USPOULTRY Video Examines Poultry Packaging Labels
Raised without antibiotics, No Hormones Added, All-natural, Organic, etc...the meat case at any local grocery store displays a wide assortment of descriptive labels on the packages of refrigerated and frozen food products that are purchased for cooking. For some shoppers, the terms on the labels are confusing. While some may hardly notice or take the time to read them, for others, the labeling can raise questions. This video provides some clarity about the labeling of fresh and frozen chicken and turkey products and also reassures that American poultry products are among the safest and healthiest foods anywhere in the world. The video can be accessed by clicking here. An infographic that explains the various poultry packaging labels can be found by clicking here.
Poultry & The Hormone Myth
One of the most common...and frustrating...questions for U.S. poultry producers is why hormones are used to grow birds bigger and faster. Of course, the actual simple answer is no hormones are used. To address this continuing misinformation, U.S. Poultry & Egg Association has prepared a new video to explain the scientific, economic and legal reasons hormones are not needed or used by the U.S. poultry industry. The video can be accessed here.

Drug War Crimes
Recorded: Thursday, May 6, 2004
Each year, the U.S. government spends over $30 billion on the drug war and arrests more than 1.5 million people on drug-related charges.

Have current drug laws deterred drug abuse and reduced crime? What are the real costs of this countrys war on drugs? Is there a link between the homicide rate and the amount of resources given to drug prohibition? Please join us as Boston University economist Jeffrey Miron (author of the major new book, Drug War Crimes) and former San Jose police chief, Joseph McNamara, examine these questions and explore real alternatives to Americas War on Drugs.

Slideshow: Top Eczema Triggers to Avoid
Hot Water: Turn It Down and Lotion Up
Choose lukewarm or cool water instead of hot to keep skin calmer after handwashing and showers. When you're done washing, gently pat skin -- don't rub -- until it's just damp. Then, slather on thick lotion right away to lock in moisture. Allergic to wool? Check the ingredients label of your lotion. Lanolin will irritate your skin. For people without a wool allergy, lanolin helps.
The Sun, Sweat, and Sunscreen
You can be out in the sun, but your skin may not like getting hot and sweaty. If that's the case, stay cool and seek out shade. Always wear sunscreen. Sunburns inflame your skin and can lead to an eczema flare. If you're sensitive to sunscreens, block out burning rays with mineral versions, like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Sunscreens made for the face may also give you gentle protection.
Clothes: Scratchy, Synthetic, New, Dry Cleaned
Loose, breathable cotton clothes may be your best bet. Wool and mohair can be prickly. Synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and rayon can make you sweaty. Wash clothes before wearing them to help get rid of dye or chemicals used to keep them wrinkle-free at the store. Do you dry-clean? Take the plastic bags off and air them out for 24 hours if the chemicals bother you.
Detergents, Soaps, and Shampoos
Whether you're washing your body or your clothes, think gentle. Choose laundry detergent made for babies or sensitive skin, like fragrance-free types. Use only the amount suggested. If needed, rinse them twice. Skip fabric softeners and scented dryer sheets. For showers, pick a non-soap cleanser that is mild and fragrance-free. Shampoos are also available in clear, pH neutral, fragrance-free versions.
Flaring? Try relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or biofeedback. Anxiety and stress can make skin conditions like eczema worse. How? When you're tense, your body's stress hormones cause inflammation that irritates your skin. Even physical stress -- like when you're fighting a cold -- can take a toll. So take good care of yourself and make sure you get enough sleep on a regular basis.
If you're allergic to pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold- try to avoid them. At home, dust and vacuum regularly and wash bedding weekly in hot water. If possible, get rid of heavy drapes and carpeting. If certain chores irritate your skin, now may be your chance to ask for help or hire some! If you're still having allergy woes, talk to your doctor about other ways to get relief.
Food Sensitivities
Some studies suggest that food sensitivities might make eczema worse -- especially for babies and children. Peanuts, milk, soy, wheat, fish, and eggs are the most common culprits. Because kids need a well-rounded diet, don't stop giving them foods you think might be causing eczema flares. Talk to a pediatrician or dermatologist first. They can do tests for food allergies.
Dry Air
Does your skin get worse in the winter? The heater in your home keeps you warm, but it can suck the moisture right out of the air. When the air is dry, moisturize your skin regularly. If you live in a dry place, you may want to consider using a humidifier. If you do, clean it, as directed, at least once a week. Mold can thrive in humidifiers and make eczema worse for some people.
Exercise and Sweat
Working out is great for you and can help relieve stress. However, sweat from exercise can aggravate the skin. Don't let that keep you from moving! To keep cool, take breaks during workouts, don't over-dress, and sip water when you get hot. Try exercising indoors or during cooler parts of the day. Remember to gently dab off sweat. Swimming can also help keep you cool, but be sure to shower and moisturize afterward since chlorine may be irritating.
Skin Infections
Are you itching worse than normal? Do you have more red patches? See your dermatologist. Having a bacterial or yeast infection on your skin -- like staph or candida -- can make your eczema flare. A doctor can prescribe antibiotics to help with bacterial infections and antifungal medicines to help yeast infections. That way you can tame that flare and feel better.

"Desert Oasis, " reads the sign as you enter Moses Lake from the high, dry plains of central Washington. The well-kept parks and homes hugging the fingers of the fresh, blue lake signal the kind of place where people move to escape urban living.
But this tranquil face hides a town that was stripped of its illusions of safety. In separate incidents in 1996, two teenage boys picked up guns and acted out their inner turmoil, taking the lives of six people.
The pain of these tragedies reached critical mass at Immanuel Lutheran Church because Arnie Fritz, 14, a parishioner, was one of three killed on Feb. 2. Barry Loukaitas, 14, entered a ninth-grade math class and began shooting, killing two classmates, a beloved teacher and permanently injuring another student. Arnie was a quiet, playful, cerebral boy with a tender heart and a wry sense of humor.
Were losing him not enough, a depressed and lonely Aaron Moore, 13, another parishioner and Arnie's cousin, took a gun Dec. 6 and shot his younger sister, Mallory, and mother, Linda, before killing himself. Ron, his stepfather, was the only family member not at home. Aaron was a frequent acolyte and helper at church, who prayed thoughtful prayers at confirmation class. Arnie may have been Aaron's best friend.
Kevan Smith, Immanuel's pastor, was besieged when the press descended upon Moses Lake after the first shooting. The church, located across the street from where it had occurred, opened its doors for people to drop by and talk. Youth minister Bob Garrett stayed all night to be with grieving and confused youth.

Mountaintop-removal mine permit comments submitted
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia is standing by its permit for the state's largest mountaintop removal mine in Logan County.
The state said Thursday it has submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency earlier this week regarding the agency's proposed veto of Arch Coal's Spruce No. 1 mine.
In its ten-page comment letter, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection addresses a number of EPA's concerns including water chemistry and wildlife considerations. The state is urging the EPA to allow the permitted activity to continue.
EPA received more than 50,000 comments on its plan to veto a crucial Clean Water Act permit. EPA contends the nearly 2,300-acre mine would cause irreversible damage to the environment.
The mine was permitted in 2007 but has been delayed by lawsuits.

Slayer's Kerry King and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Discuss the "Big Four" Broadcast
The Big Four of Thrash—Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax—are four of the most influential bands in metal. And yet, in the nearly 30 years since their debut albums were released, these four giants have never shared a stage due to a mix of bad blood, growing pains, and other logistical problems. Now, finally, the Big Four are sharing one stage for a short string of European festival dates this summer. And as if this meeting of metal titans weren't earth-shaking enough, their performances at the Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria, will be broadcast live to select theaters throughout the world on Tuesday, June 22, so that headbangers from New York to Peru can witness this historic day in metal history. Find where the Big Four will be playing near you at thebigfourlive.com.

Sodom's Tom Angelripper Looks Back on "Agent Orange"
Twenty-one years ago, Sodom released a thrash-metal beast in Agent Orange. Recently reissued by SPV as a two-disc deluxe edition with bonus tracks galore, the record has become one of the genre's triumphs, becoming what's rumored to be Germany's best-selling thrash-metal album. The band wouldn't last, though. Guitarist Frank Blackfire would leave soon after to join Kreator, and drummer Chris Witchhunter, who passed away in 2008, would leave the band in 1992. Here, vocalist-bassist Tom Angelripper—the band's sole original member—looks back

Silent Civilian, the band that singer-guitarist Jonny Santos started after the disbandment of SpineShank, just released its second album, Ghost Stories (Mediaskare). Other than Santos, the band consists of all new members—and to make the genesis of the album all the more complicated, Santos re-formed SpineShank in the years since Silent Civilian's debut. Nonetheless, as proven with their lead single "Atonement," the band hasn't missed a step. Here, Santos tells how the record was made and what lies ahead of both of his bands.

"All that ass." That was Lil Wayne's astute observation of Nicki Minaj's assets after sitting in a chair onstage as she gyrated and worked her ample caboose while lapdancing on the YMCMB CEO during her sexy performance of "High School" on the 2013 Billboard Music Awards Sunday (May 19) night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
After starting off the live broadcast with a win for top rap artist, the Queen of the Barbz, dressed in ripped skin-tight black tights, gold spiked jacket and Chanel baseball cap, returned near the end of the telecast for a duet performance of the Weezy-assisted third single from her sophomore LP, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up.
Animated and writhing like a nymph with her dancers, the Pink Friday femcee served up her verse with sultry authority before Tunechi entered stage right dressed in a white muscle shirt and pants with one leg pulled up to offer up his guest lyrics. For the encore, Minaj ushered a very nervous Wayne into his own private throne, straddled him and worked her voluptuous derrière for her boss better than the strippers at Miami's King of Diamonds.
Although Wayne said he was "the luckiest guy in the world," the whole ordeal had to be nerve-racking for the Carter IV mogul, who thinks of the "American Idol" judge more as a sister than an exotic temptress.
"He refused to touch me, he's so respectful, he refused to touch me, and then I was like, 'Wayne,' I was like, 'You could do this.' But he was acting scared, like, 'Yo, Nick, this is my dream. I'm gonna be a man after this video.' He was just being crazy," Minaj told MTV News last month. "But if I didn't tell him 'Yes, you can do this' or 'touch this,' he refused to do it, like he's a southern gentlemen, which people don't realize."

Nixon budget plan includes 800 jobs cut
College, university budgets to be cut 12 percent
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
Gov. Jay Nixon's budget plan for the state's next business year cuts another 800 jobs from the state's workforce and trims college and university budgets by more than 12 percent.
But Nixon proposed a 2 percent across-the-board pay raise for all state employees, beginning next Jan. 1.
During his 53-minute State of the State address Tuesday night, Nixon told a joint session of Missouri's Legislature that his balanced budget will help "keep moving Missouri forward."
But Senate Appropriations Chairman Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, and President Pro Tem Rob Mayer, R-Dexter, questioned the governor's claim his budget proposal is balanced.
Schaefer said lawmakers would have to go through Nixon's plan, "line-by-line," to see where they can agree with Nixon and where they'll change the budget.
Schaefer also said the higher education cuts are too deep, if Missouri wants to rely on education to help the state move forward. And he wants to know more about where the state job cuts will come from before deciding if they're needed.

RISMEDIA, May 1, 2009-Buying or selling a home is always a highly personal and emotional decision. But the challenges – and opportunities – of today's real estate market have elevated the scope of those decisions to a whole new level.
"Every buyer and seller today has a very personal agenda. They want to achieve the maximum results possible, and in the end, feel good about the transaction," said Pat Riley, president, Allen Tate Company. "It's our job to be their trusted advisor, to guide them throughout the process and better help them reach their goals. The more tools we have, the more options are at our disposal."
As part of that mission to help buyers and sellers succeed, Allen Tate Company is launching two innovative new programs: Job Loss Protection and Rate Relief. While distinct in design, both programs serve similar purposes: to help sellers make their homes more attractive to potential buyers, and to provide valuable incentives to encourage buyers to move forward toward purchasing a home.
According to the company, the Job Loss Protection Program offers uncertain buyers a unique value proposition: a guarantee that their mortgage payment, up to $1,800, will be covered for up to six months in the event of an involuntary job loss during the first 24 months following closing.
The Rate Relief program is a seller-funded preferred financing program. The seller commits to pay up to 3% (interest rate buydown) of the listing price of the home toward a financing package from a qualified lender. The program helps the seller by setting his home apart from others on the market at a similar price point. Rate Relief also makes the home available to a larger pool of qualified buyers because of the lower monthly payments. The seller also benefits because the home retains greater market value when it sells.

Campaign Financing Is Legalized Bribery (Not to Mention a Violation of the Torah!)
by: Cat Zavis on October 18th, 2013 | 3 Comments »
I was reading the Torah a couple months, well actually I read it every week as part of my Sabbath practice, but a couple months ago the Torah portion focused on bribery and stirred me to thinking (the Torah has that effect on me!). Specifically, Deuteronomy 16, sentence 19, states that "You shall not judge unfairly, you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning and upset the plea of the just."
This simple little sentence has a lot to say about our current political structure, wouldn't you say? "Don't judge unfairly." What could that possibly mean? Well, I take it to mean that we should not judge others lest we understand the path they have walked. This speaks to me about being empathic.
What about "you shall show no partiality"? Well that seems obvious enough, if you are a judge or have a position of power that allows you to make decisions that impact others, don't be partial. Don't let your biases get in the way of making sound decisions grounded in the facts. But it can also be applied in more mundane situations – as a teacher, parent, friend, lawyer, etc. When I read this as applying in all circumstances (the Torah does not seem to limit its application), what I take it to mean is to find a path of compassion, look at the situation from all sides, don't assume one person is right and one wrong. That's rather powerful. Reminds me of Rumi's poem:
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense.

Tony Harris's family has lived in the Magnolia School neighborhood for about 30 years.
Tony says, "I was glad that they denied bringing that boarding school here."
Thomasville's planning and zoning commission voted against a rezoning request from two South Carolina men seeking to transform Magnolia School into a teen boarding school.
Harris says, "There's a lot of older people that stay in the neighborhood and they ain't too familiar with new surroundings. They're used to the older group that's around here."
With the fate of this campus hanging in the balance, residents had many worries about who would be moving in next door, and members of the city's planning and zoning board shared those same concerns.
Julie Anderson of the Thomasville Zoning Commission says, "Our purpose is to make sure that we protect those, and also we are concerned about community livability and we want everyone to have a safe place to live and we were concerned about the welfare of all of our citizens."
While the commission's decision is only a recommendation to the city council, residents like Tony Harris say it's a good start for their zoning battle.
The zoning proposal will now go before the Thomasville City Council at a meeting next week.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lynn Redgrave, an introspective and independent player in her family's acting dynasty who became a 1960s sensation as the freethinking title character of "Georgy Girl" and later dramatized her troubled past in one-woman stage performances, has died. She was 67.
Her publicist Rick Miramontez, speaking on behalf of her children, said Redgrave died Sunday night at her Manhattan apartment. In 2003, Redgrave had been treated for breast cancer.
Her death comes a year after her niece Natasha Richardson died from head injuries sustained in a skiing accident and just a month after the death of her older brother, Corin Redgrave.

Jack Howitzer
Jack Howitzer is a character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and San Andreas. Howitzer is an actor, who has starred in such films as Exploder, Exploder: Evacuator Part II and Special Needs Cop. Howitzer's most notable role was as Tim, a war hero from the Exploder films. By 1992 his career had slowed down, with Howitzer's latest film (Special Needs Cop), being released. Along with his career downturn, he has also become confused, believing that his movies were real. He was interviewed on West Coast Talk Radio's Entertaining America show where he accidently and fatally shot host Billy Dexter (Jack thought that his gun wasn't loaded). Jack was later put on trial for murder and faced the death penalty, although the outcome is unknown. When interviewed by WCTR later, he admits to killing the original Ho Chi from the Exploder movies, although it remains unknown whether this event took place in a film or within the storyline. He is never been seen in person throughout the GTA series.

When you hear that you have contracted ringworm, the image that comes into your mind will likely be that of a parasite, like tapeworms or roundworms. This common misconception about this equally common skin infection is owed to its name, given to the condition because of the shape of the rash that it causes.
Ringworm is not actually a worm at all; the condition is caused by a fungus known as tinea. Sometimes called tinea corporis or dermatophytid, ringworm is contagious and contracted when you come in contact with the fungus. Often, ringworm is spread from person to person, but you can also contract ringworm from a pet, from infected soil or by touching an object that someone with ringworm has already touched.
The fungus that causes ringworm can develop in people of any age. Moist and dark places are ideal for tinea, and if you are frequently in these types of locations or you live in a humid climate, you are more likely to develop ringworm. Because sweating creates moisture on the surface of your skin, those who sweat profusely due to exercise or other physical activity are also slightly more at risk as well as those with compromised immune systems that cannot fight off tinea if they come in contact with it.
The rash caused by ringworm is usually very easy to diagnose due to its unique shape. Ringworm forms a circular rash that consists of red, scaly concentric rings. Typically, the skin in the center of the ring looks normal and is not irritated or inflamed. Often, ringworm has an unpleasant itch.
For most people, ringworm can be treated with over-the-counter products; however, if the condition remains for more than four weeks or if your immune system is compromised due to diabetes, prescription medications or other causes, you should see your doctor at the first signs of ringworm.
Depending on the severity of the infection and how widespread it is, your doctor will prescribe you either a topical antifungal cream or an oral antifungal drug. In rare cases, you may be given both. Antifungal medications include butenafine, ciclopriox, terbinafine and fluconazole. These drugs work by killing the fungus and clearing up the infection. Typically, topical prescription antifungal drugs are well tolerated, but may cause redness and irritation in a small amount of users. Side effects are more common with oral drugs and can range from minor gastrointestinal distress to severe complications like abnormal liver functioning.
Garlic is a commonly recommended home treatment for ringworm due to its antifungal properties. Some clinical studies have supported the benefits of garlic for treating tinea infections, but many people find using garlic for the condition unpleasant due to the pungent aroma of the herb.
To apply garlic topically, peel 5 to 10 cloves and cut them in half. Wipe each clove across the affected area one time and then discard the clove, continuing until you have covered the entire rash. Immediately after applying the garlic, place an adhesive bandage over the area. Repeat the treatment once per day.
Tea tree oil is a commonly used topical natural treatment for ringworm. The oil comes from the leaves of a plant native to Australia and has been clinically proven to fight tinea. You can purchase tea tree essential oil from many health food stores. Simply mix 1.5 tablespoons of the oil with 1 cup of water and mix well to make a solution for application. Then, using a clean paintbrush or makeup brush, spread the solution over the ringworm rash. If the oil does not cause an unpleasant stinging sensation, you can increase the concentration of the tea tree oil for quicker results.
A variety of oral herbal natural products are advertised for treating ringworm. Because oral herbal preparations are not evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it can be difficult to know precisely what ingredients are contained in these products. In addition, they are not tested for safety or efficacy. Before using an oral herbal remedy to treat ringworm, consult your doctor for advice.
All over-the-counter medicinal treatments for ringworm contain an antifungal medication in a lesser strength than the potent antifungals found in prescription drugs. They usually pose less of a risk for side effects due to their reduced strengths, but are often as effective as their prescription counterparts for minor infections. Before applying any over-the-counter topical medicinal treatments for ringworm, wash the affected skin thoroughly with a mild soap and water and pat it dry.

Kevin Bennett '14, June 5 - I was born and raised in Brownsburg, Indiana. Brownsburg is a suburb of Indianapolis and primarily a farming community. I am used to mostly country music and certain types of rock and roll created by multi-millionaire artists out in California. The music is great, and it speaks to me in ways other forms of art cannot, but in class today I experienced something even more intimate than country music blaring through the speakers of my old Ford truck as I blaze down the vacant roads alone.
Today, a group of Afroecuadorean teenagers and adults performed several types of song and dance right before my eyes. They had guitars, drums, maracas, a marimba, and other types of shaking instrument; the music and sounds created were genuine and not enhanced by fancy studio computers or other technology. It was pure, it was mythology, and it was uncensored. The soul rhythm of these people came to life in the form of their song and dance. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The men pounded at the drums as an upbeat tempo came forth to stir the movements of the women. They wore elaborately decorated dresses and hats which reminded them of more traditional and ancient times in their culture. The colors of their instruments and clothing represented the bright, sunny, wonderful days the people spent living along the beautiful coast of Ecuador.
Then came the kicker to the whole situation, they asked us to stand and dance along with them. I was shocked. I mean, I know how to square dance, do the limbo, two-step, and a little of the Soulja boy, but I quickly assumed these dances would not help me here. My mind and pride told me no, but my body told me yes. I just could not hold it in. The beat and rhythm of the music had me moving the best I could with the proper steps right along with the dancers. I admit, it was hard and I was terrible, but it was a blast. This was the cultural immersion I had been looking for. Something so different from my times on the farm and around the corn fields of Brownsburg, and this truly did it. It was tremendous experience to lose myself in the song and dance and forget about every care in the world. I just wanted to dance! It was refreshing and invigorating at the same time. It could not have been better.
Although every morning I am reminded by the sounds of dogs, cars, sirens, and people that I am "not in Kansas anymore" this has been a great thing for me personally. This trip is a once in a lifetime opportunity given to me by Wabash College and I am truly grateful for it. I cannot wait for what the rest of the trip holds.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green: The Dadding ReviewWhit Honea
I normally try to refrain from sharing spoilers when I discuss a film, but in the case of Disney's The Odd Life of Timothy Green, it has proven difficult. For that reason I have opened the gates and let the spoilers flow, so please be aware that there are many of them in the article below.
"It looks like a tearjerker," I said.
"It is a tearjerker," answered Jennifer Garner.
And it was.
Disney's The Odd Life of Timothy Green was created and directed by Peter Hedges (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Dan in Real Life) and stars Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, and CJ Adams as the Green family.
The film starts with Cindy (Garner) and Jim Green (Edgerton) talking to an adoption agency about their qualifications as potential adoptive parents. All they have written on the application is "Timothy" and when pressed for more information their narrative, and the aforementioned odd life, begins:
It was a dark and stormy night, and the rain fell like so many spoilers (seriously, there really are spoilers ahead). Cindy and Jim Green had been trying to conceive for a long time and they were about to give up when one glass of wine turned into a bottle, and descriptions of their dream child were written down fast and furious. It was kind of like a drinking game.
When they had filled a small wooden box with their wine-soaked wishes they decided to brave the storm and bury it, dreams and all, in the garden. This is, apparently, how they get closure in small towns.
It turns out that vegetables aren't the only things that spring eternal in a well-kept garden — there is also hope, and odd bits of mystic magic.
It was there, from a box of wishes and rich, deep soil, that Timothy Green (Adams) was born, and the Greens (and all that knew them) would never be the same.
Timothy Green entered the world at 10-years-old, covered in mud and sprouting leaves where socks should be. He was everything that the Greens had hoped for in a child, and the heart of the film lies in Timothy's quest to meet each of their dreams, and in doing so he attempts to fix what is broken in those that live around them.
However, with every wish fulfilled another leaf does fall, and we are slowly alerted to the fact that Timothy's odd life will also be short and sweet, with tender bouts of sadness.
There are many levels.
Throughout the movie we are witness to the evolution of parenting as the Greens face everything with a sudden newness that aims to remind us all that we should never take any of it for granted, we should never get too comfortable. Parenting, as we all know but sometimes forget, is not the place to grow complacent.
Timothy Green, in one short, odd life, shows everyone he meets that everything is fleeting in a fantastic sort of way, and it is best to be made the most of — life is a garden full of hope, and we are all sprouting odd bits of mystic magic.
"It looks like a tearjerker," I said.
"It is a tearjerker," answered Jennifer Garner.
And it was also full of smiles.
Notes for parents: I took my two boys, ages six and nine, to see The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and while they each had moments full of fidget, they did enjoy the film immensely and talked about their favorite parts for the entire car ride home. There are a number of emotional scenes in the movie including two deaths. For more information please read my interview with Jennifer Garner.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green opens everywhere on August 15.

I attended a complimentary screening of this film for the purpose of review. All opinions are my own.

A dreadful coverwrap
So here's how The Sydney Morning Herald will look on news stands this morning.
It's hard to tell who's the winner here, as the image looks (unintenionally, I'm sure) more like the paper's been the victim of some last minute piece of dramatic censorship.
Not the editorial – which is of course the price one pays for selling a cover wrap.
I'm not sure that the brand gains very much from it either. Not til the paper is opened, at the very least.
And certainly not the newsagents – it was delivered to them about three hours late this morning – presumably because of the production process of producing the wrap.
Here's how it looks when open. The brand is Mastercard:

I guess it kind of catches your eye, as you wonder what the hell is going on.
Sure is eye catching.
But has it devalued the effect of a real censorship incident in the future, should one take place?
Maybe they're struggling to sell ads. Having to give more for less.
Fuckups are always eye catching…
hmm, tough for them to 'win'…options for creative, dynamic executions are somewhat limited in press. They certainly don't give these away, Mastercard would have paid a pretty penny for this
Not only coverwraps, they (I'm assuming the SMH, around here it's The Age) have been putting post-it notes over their own mastheads. Given that the most effective ad for a newspaper is … the newspaper, you have to wonder why they mess so clumsily with their own brands. It's the equivalent of, say, a car company renting out space in its ads for a chewing gum promotion. It also screams of management that knows nothing about marketing.
wow the horrible intrusive ads they do online are making it to their print version now. well done.
It was f#cking appalling. I have the SMH home delivered and it was all mangled anyway.
It was trying to be so avant garde it was merely painful.
Which begs the question: do Mastercard have a clue? Or do they just want to piss everyone off?
I don't think many of us have forgotten that diabolical TV ad a few years ago where they overdubbed a clearly American baseball game and tried to make it look like cricket at the SCG. Blech!
Do these people not learn? Are they stupid? I will never use a Mastercard ever!
Grumpy broadsheet readers…
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Someone's backside will get kicked for this.
"hmm, tough for them to 'win'…options for creative, dynamic executions are somewhat limited in press. "
Bollocks they are.
If you can't come up with a "creative, dynamic execution" on a full page full colour in a broadsheet you probably need to get out of advertising.
I read the herald this morning and couldn't have told you who the ad was for until I read it here. It was annoying enough to make me grumble, but not enough to actually read it. Regardless of impact on the papers brand, it seems a pretty poor ad buy for Mastercard.
Great idea Jape …. I'm calling Holden about my new concept car … the Wrigleydore!
Sack the agency – total mess up…
Hey tim,
I agree with you, but I quite liked the Prado 'tracing paper' wrap this morning – it's not going to make me buy the car, but it defintely made me notice and look at it
Erm, it's not transparent and certainly not 'clear' to make the headline work. It's rubbish .
Hi Sam,
You're in the wrong post. Try this one: http://mumbrella.com.au/transp.....late-12256
Tim – Mumbrella
The SMH might be good at convincing agencies to spend clients money but it counts for nothing if they can't deliver a paper on time. Ask newsagents. It's beyond a joke. My guy has to two do runs in the mornings now… the telegraph, then an hour or more later the SMH (when he has to shut the shop) Patience is running very thin
wow – tough crowd.

South Puntarenas
San Jose
Stretching along the Caribbean Coast, Limon is considered to be one of the most pristine and lush regions of Costa Rica. Roughly 125 miles of shoreline between Nicaragua and Panama boast picturesque white-sand beaches lined with coconut trees for an ultimate tropical paradise. As one of the country's most geographically diverse regions, Limon features everything from mangrove wetlands to towering mountains. Take in the endless scenic landscapes throughout Limon, which was first "discovered" by Christopher Columbus in 1502. Despite this, Limon remains as one of the least traveled regions in Costa Rica, allowing for exploration of untouched prehistoric rainforests and unmatched beauty compared with the rest of the country.
Puerto Limon
As the cultural hub of Limon, this capital city is a bustling port town with a unique and vibrant fabric. Mostly residents here have Afro-Caribbean ancestry, so
Limon often provides a culture-rich experience
without the touristy environment of some other major destinations in Costa Rica. The city is home to several museums and attractions for travelers to visit as well as stunning architecture that is unique to the area. One must-see attraction is Parque Vargas, a beautiful park filled with tropical palm trees, where sloths are often found slowly climbing between branches.
Tortuguero National Park
Located in the northern half of the province, Tortuguero National Park is known for its turtle nesting along the beach. Unlike many other parks in the country that best serve hikers, Tortuguero should be explored via the water channels. Travelers can hop on a boat or even go kayaking or canoeing to get the best view of wildlife in this park. While there is a plethora of mammals, aviary species and reptiles that populate the area, the most sought-after attraction is the turtles. Leatherback, Hawksbill and Green sea turtles are the most common species that nest along the beaches, and depending on the time of the year, it's possible to see these nocturnal creatures dig their nests and lay eggs. The canals are filled with unique species as well, including the West Indian manatee, monkeys, river otters, and more than 50 species of freshwater fish.
Cahuita National Park
Tucked along the southern edge of the town of Cahuita, this national park features roughly 55,000 acres of protected waters and 600 acres of living coral reef, which is one of two in the entire country. Featuring a hot, humid climate year-round, Cahuita is home for a diverse array of aquatic wildlife, including 35 species of coral and 400 species of fish. Hiking trails in the region are light and easy to navigate, but travelers should be cautious during heavy rains, which can make them muddy and treacherous. Activities available here include snorkeling, swimming, canoeing and scuba diving. Cahuita's southern tip is another important site for turtle nesting, and the park is also home to howler monkeys, sloths, iguanas, bats, coatis and snakes.
Talamanca Mountains
The southern end of Limon is bordered by the stunning Talamanca Mountains, which stretch from San Jose into Panama. Covered in tropical lowland rainforest and cloudforest, this towering mountain range is home to a wide diversity of wildlife due to its land coverage and biodiversity. The mountains also contain virgin forest in some areas as well as five different altitudes.
Small Towns
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
are great locations for travelers to visit to get a taste of the real Tico lifestyle. These exotic destinations are ideal for beach lovers who wish to have a true tropical getaway.

The device widely referred to as "truck nutz" could cost those who adore this adornment a sixty dollar fine. A senator from Eustis won a debate over the decoration in the capitol today. And no matter what some may think, lawmakers have dubbed the accessory inappropriate.
Jesse Hurd in Wakulla County said, "I think it's hilarious, but I guess it can be construed as offensive to some people you know, so maybe they might want to take them off or maybe just drive around for a short while with them on there." The prohibition of the attachment was an addition to a much larger transportation bill.

Falcom announced a new entry in the Ys series during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference, with the action-RPG destined for release on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita sometime next year. Adol Christin takes the lead in an action-RPG that will have players exploring a land hidden deep beneath the sea. Trailer and more past the break.
Ys fans in Europe may have felt a bit left out during the recent North American release of Ys: Memories of Celceta, which reimagines Ys IV on PS Vita. That envy won't last too long, though, as NIS America set the RPG's European retail release for February 21, 2014. More after the jump.
Earlier today we posted Ys: Memories of Celceta's Calilica clip, but we should've known XSEED Games would be packing more action on the Vita RPG's launch day. Have a look at even more character clips below, along with a brief description of each, after the jump.
XSEED Games is unleashing Ys: Memories of Celceta on North American RPG fans today in both a standard and Silver Anniversary Edition. The latest trailer for the reimagining of 1993's Ys IV focuses on Calilica, so have a look at one of the strongest characters after the jump.
Last month we got the first English screens and character details for Ys: Memories of Celceta, which serves as "an extensive reimagining" of 1993's Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys. Now publisher XSEED Games has narrowed the holiday launch window to a specific November 26 release date. Video and more past the jump!
This holiday season we'll get to experience "an extensive reimagining" of Ys IV with Ys: Memories of Celceta, and publisher XSEED Games has the first English screenshots and character details for the Vita localization after the jump.
Publisher XSEED Games is bringing Ys: Memories of Celceta to PS Vita this holiday season, and today a limited edition was announced. The LE celebrates over 25 years of Ys with a 3-CD collection of original and arranged music from the franchise, a cloth map of Celceta, a logo-emblazoned compass, and 'Adol's Travel Journal.' More after the jump.
Yeeeah, baby, turn down those lights. Light a candle and bust out the sensual massage oils, because XSEED is getting in the romantic mood for Valentine's Day. Uh huh, yeah, that's right, they're releasing Ys I & II Chronicles+ on February 14. Where? Oh, baby, you know where. Steam. Read on for more.
Some URL registrations started cooking up the rumor recently that XSEED Games would be publishing Suda51's Killer is Dead, and now the publisher has confirmed the action game along with plenty more. Other titles coming to the west include Rune Factory 4, Valhalla Knights 3, Ys: Memories of Celceta, and Ys I & II Chronicles. Read on for more!
Falcom's Ys RPG series is headed to PlayStation Vita in the form of Ys Celceta: Sea of Trees, and a new trailer shows plenty of in-game action, from the party battle system to touch controls and more. See the video after the jump.

6 surprising tools for blogger outreach
By Lior Levin on October 9th, 2012 | 3153710 comments on this posthttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2Fsocial-media%2F2012%2F10%2F09%2F6-under-used-tools-blogger-outreach%2F6+surprising+tools+for+blogger+outreach2012-10-09+11%3A37%3A03Guest+Bloggerhttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2F%3Fp%3D31537
Networking is a critical part of blogging as you build a stronger following on social media and solicit related blogs for guest posts. However, it can be time consuming to find all of the relevant contact information you need in the midst of managing a busy to-do list, let alone knowing how to find additional blogger contacts among your social media followers. Thankfully, there are a bunch of tools around that will help you maximize the impact of your contacts and networking efforts.
Here are six you can start using to improve your networking with fellow bloggers.
Combine social networking with e-mail. Before you send an e-mail to a new contact, it is extremely helpful to find out everything you can about that person, and a tool such as Rappaportive makes that easy to do. This plug-in to your Gmail account pulls up the social media information for each contact as you compose a message. This enables you to address real-time issues and topics where you share mutual interests. You may also find out that now is not the right time to send an e-mail because your contact is traveling or out with family. The more you can personalize and plan your e-mails, the better.
Use Canned Responses in Gmail. One of the best labs in Gmail is the Canned Response tool that allows you to compose a message that can be dropped into any e-mail. For example, if you want to send a free eBook to everyone who leaves a comment on your blog, a canned response is a quick and simple way to send a prompt, actionable message without having to either type a new message every time.
Analyze your Twitter followers. If you've ever wanted to know more about the people who follow you on Twitter and contact the ones most relevant to your location or marketing interests, Followerwonk is an excellent tool that allows you to dig into the members of your social network. You can search for followers based on particular keywords, and they'll be arranged according to their influence so that you can maximize your outreach impact.
Label your e-mails. Labels aren't a new innovation for e-mail, but they are critically important for keeping your contacts sorted into useful groups in a matter of seconds — especially if you use Gmail. Begin with labels such as "Influencer," "Press" or "Blogger" so that you can quickly find particular contacts who will help you market your products to the right people. It's rarely efficient to sort your mail into folders, but labels are a quick and easy solution that will save you a bunch of time when you need to sort your contacts into relevant groups.
Check out BuzzStream's research tool. When you need to contact a blogger about writing a guest post or swapping links, one of the hardest things to find sometimes is a reliable e-mail address. BuzzStream simplifies the "e-mail finding" process by providing a simple research tool that will scan websites for the contact information you need.
Use Boomerang to follow up on contacts. If you're contacting bloggers or editors about writing a guest post, there's a good chance that your e-mail could be lost in the mix. A tool such as Boomerang is indispensable because you can easily set up a reminder to follow up on an e-mail if the person you're contacting doesn't respond within a set period of time. You can also schedule e-mails so that they can arrive at a more advantageous time, though you'll still able to write the e-mail while it's fresh in your mind. Boomerang has received rave reviews from the likes of PCWorld, The New York Times, Lifehacker and TechCrunch.
While there are plenty of ways to increase your impact as a blogger, making your outreach strategies more efficient and organized will go a long way toward improving your networking power.

Original Moxie Leads with Carbonfree® Operations and Environmental Responsibility
At Carbonfund.org, we love it when our business partners take our motto seriously and put it into action. We've been touting "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™" for almost a dozen years, and many of our business partners have joined us in these efforts. It's easy to talk the talk, but they walk the walk as well.
Five-year Carbonfree® Business Partner Original Moxie is a great example. They create every product they offer and have a very personal stake in whether each ingredient is safe to use – for customers and for the planet. Whenever possible, Original Moxie uses organic, unrefined ingredients, so as to maximize their uniquely beneficial properties and minimize the company's carbon footprint.
Original Moxie also understands that waste tends to pile up when you make something from scratch. Whenever possible, they purchase tools and supplies that can be re-used without sacrificing hygiene and quality. From glass droppers for essential oils to cotton towels for cleaning up, Original Moxie strives to minimize the amount of disposable items used to create products. All paper, plastic and glass that cannot be re-used is responsibly recycled, and all product containers are easily-recyclable plastics. All retail customers receive their orders in USPS Priority Mail boxes, which have been awarded Cradle to Cradle Certification℠ for their ecologically-intelligent design.
For everything that can't yet be reduced, recycled, or re-used, Original Moxie offsets its remaining carbon footprint by partnering with Carbonfund.org in supporting carbon emissions reduction projects. To date, Original Moxie has neutralized 395,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, the same quantity as avoiding over 2 million pounds of waste decomposition in landfills.

EnvyDerm Cosmetics Becomes Carbonfree® Business Partner
Environmentally-responsible companies in the cosmetics industry face a challenge to ensure that their products contain healthy, safe and sustainably sourced ingredients. Southern California-based EnvyDerm Cosmetics takes this responsibility seriously, and recently took the additional step to become a Carbonfree® Business Partner, neutralizing its estimated annual operational emissions by supporting forestry projects through Carbonfund.org.
EnvyDerm Cosmetics is a high performance cosmetics company that manufactures healthy good-for-you eye and lip products using natural and organic ingredients and eco-friendly packages. EnvyDerm continues to grow with a passion to offer a complete eyelash and lip enhancement product line that is safe, scientifically proven and fits a wide array of customers' needs.
"We strive to create cosmetics products that are healthy and good for you with less impact on the environment," stresses Nadia Smith, Founder and CEO. "Partnering with Carbonfund.org is a natural step in our advocacy efforts and a step further in our effort to not just beautify our customers but further contribute to beautify Earth."
Part of EnvyDerm's mission is to keep the planet beautiful and clean for the future. The company works hard to implement sustainable and eco-friendly measures to reduce its environment impact. That's why they manufacture locally in California, source eco-friendly packaging that is made from 100% recycled material, and source organic ingredients for products as much as possible. These commitments along with their Carbonfree® operations set EnvyDerm above conventional cosmetics companies as a more environmentally responsible choice for its customers.
