For those of you who missed last night's Superbowl, let me start by saying that you missed one hell of a game. Secondly, you missed some pretty great commercials wedged uncomfortably between obviously desperate promos for NBC's Heroes. And while I would love to run you through a long Superbowl Commercial Awards like our friends over at /Film, I believe that I am still a little too "under the influence" to provide concise and insightful commentary. Instead I've chosen my favorite Superbowl promo, a commercial for my favorite online video destination Hulu, starring the man himself, Alec Baldwin. Please view the moving pictures above and enjoy.
For more cool videos, check out The Daily Diversion archive. If you'd like to send us a video, please feel free to drop it off to email@example.com. And for good measure, how about the banned PETA ad that shows sexy ladies and their love of vegetables. Seriously, check it out:

by Mark Silva
DENVER -- Under a cloudless and darkened sky on a cool night on a field a mile high, Barack Obama walks the length of a dark blue-carpeted stage with a lighted colonnade evocative of the West Wing behind it to address more than 70,000 people cheering and waving flags and placards for the Democratic Party's history-making nominee for president.
"With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States,'' says Obama, 47, the junior senator from Illinois.
"This moment - this election - is our chance to keep, in the 21st Century, the American promise alive,'' Obama says, with a speech that is a mixture of inspiration and tough criticism for the incumbent president and the Republcian who would succeed him, John McCain. " Because next week, in Minnesota, the same party that brought you two terms of George Bush and Dick Cheney will ask this country for a third.
"And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look like the last eight. On November 4th, we must stand up and say: "Eight is enough...''
The Republicans are ignoring the needs of America, he says, and his rival is continuing to ignore them, "not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it.
"For over two decades, he's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy - give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. No health care? The market will fix it. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. You're on your own.
"Well it's time for them to own their failure,'' Obama says, voicing the theme on which he has waged a historic campaign for the White House. "It's time for us to change America.''
* * * *
With a 45-minute address, Obama declares: "At defining moments like this one, the change we need doesn't come from Washington. Change comes to Washington. Change happens because the American people demand it - because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time.
"America, this is one of those moments.''
* * * *
On the football field here, Obama tackles John McCain on his own home-field advantage: National security. No one can tell him that "the party of Roosevelt'' and "the party of Kennedy'' will not keep this nation safe, Obama tells the cheering crowd.
. "If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament, and judgment, to serve as the next Commander-in-Chief, that's a debate I'm ready to have,'' Obama says -- "with news for you, John McCain..
"John McCain likes to say that he'll follow (Osama) bin Laden to the Gates of Hell - but he won't even follow him to the cave where he lives.''

DENVER -- "Barack Obama's keynote address changed politics in America,'' says Sen. Dick Durbin, the senior senator from Illinois, introducing Sen. Obama, the junior senator and Democratic nominee for president. "Tonight, Barack Obama will accept our nomination to be president of the United States of America.
"His journey from that moment to now has taken him to every corner of this nation,'' Durbin (pictured at left in photo by Ron Edmonds/AP) tells the nighttime crowd at Invesco Field, a full house for an historic nomination acceptance speech, biggest house ever. "Like another son of Illinois'' Durbin says of Obama, whose campaign started in Springfield, Ill., "he has spoken to the people about the better angels of our nature.''
"Barack Obama has the good sense to know that the future of our nation is in the hands of hard-working Americans, not in the selfish grasp of the politically powerful,'' Durbin says. Tomorrow, he says, is "the dawning of a new day... With this election, the greatness of America can return.''
"Yes, America can,'' Durbin says. "Yes, we can.''

DENVER -- "I always dreamed I'd stand in this place, but I was hoping I'd be standing next to my friend Floyd Little,'' says Joe Biden, standing on the stage of the Denver Broncos stadium here at Mile High.
"We're here for the millions of Americans who have been knocked down,'' Biden says. "We're hear for the cops and the fire fighters, the teachers and the assembly line workers.''
The Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee is talking at dusk, as camera-flashes flickering throughout the stadium light up the stands.
The stadium is nearly full now, all but the nose-bleed seats in the deck behind the stage filled. The "wave'' has gone around a few times. The place holds 76,000 for a game, and they have set up 5,000 seats on the field, so it would seem that the Democrats have corralled the 75,000 they sought.

DENVER -- Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of the president, is wearing red, but the audience at mile high is seeing blue tonight.
"I stand before you tonight not as a Republican or as a Democrat, but as an American,'' Eisenhower tells the audience as dusk nears. "Barack Obama has already articulated a powerful visiion for our nation's future and our standing in the world...''
Eisenhower is evoking the name of a Republican cited often here today.
"On Dec. 1, 1862, in his annual message to Congress, Abraham Lincoln immortalized this thought when he said: 'We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth,''' she says. "Let us respond this November to President Lincoln's challenge.''
* * * *
DENVER - "Let the sunshine in,'' rings the song from the public address system as large American flags unfold and wave in the deck of the stadium across from the stage Al Gore is taking.
"Hair?'' For Gore?
"The question facing us is, simply put, will we seize this opportunity for change?'' asks Gore, the former vice president and presidential nominee of his party in 2000.
"Eight years ago, some said there was not much difference between the nominees of the two major parties and it didn't really matter who became president,'' says Gore, who lost an electoral college vote to President George W. Bush. "Our nation was enjoying peace and prosperity. Some assumed we would continue both, no matter the outcome. But here we all are in 2008, and I doubt anyone would argue now that election didn't matter.
"Take it from me, if it had ended differently, we would not be bogged down in Iraq, we would have pursued bin Laden until we captured him,'' says Gore (pictured at the podium in photo by Tanney Maurey/EPA). "We would not be facing a self-inflicted economic crisis; we would be fighting for middle-income families. We would not be showing contempt for the Constitution; we'd be protecting the rights of every American regardless of race, religion, disability, gender or sexual orientation. And we would not be denying the climate crisis; we'd be solving it.
"Today, we face essentially the same choice we faced in 2000, though it may be even more obvious now, because John McCain, a man who has earned our respect on many levels, is now openly endorsing the policies of the Bush-Cheney White House and promising to actually continue them,'' Gore says. "The same policies all over again?
"Hey, I believe in recycling, but that's ridiculous,'' says Gore, who shared in a Nobel Prize for his work on climate change. "With John McCain's support, President Bush and Vice President Cheney have led our nation into one calamity after another because of their indifference to fact; their readiness to sacrifice the long term to the short term, subordinate the general good to the benefit of the few and short-circuit the rule of law.
"If you like the Bush-Cheney approach, John McCain's your man,'' Gore says. "If you want change, then vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.''
* * * *
Barack Obama's opponents say he is inexperienced.
So was Abraham Lincoln, Gore suggests.
"A century and a half ago, when America faced our greatest trial, the end of one era gave way to the birth of another. The candidate who emerged victorious in that election is now regarded by most historians as our greatest president. Before he entered the White House, Abraham Lincoln's experience in elective office consisted of eight years in his state legislature in Springfield, Illinois, and one term in Congress - during which he showed the courage and wisdom to oppose the invasion of another country that was popular when it started but later condemned by history.
"The experience Lincoln's supporters valued most in that race was his powerful ability to inspire hope in the future at a time of impasse. He was known chiefly as a clear thinker and a great orator, with a passion for justice and a determination to heal the deep divisions of our land. He insisted on reaching past partisan and regional divides to exalt our common humanity. In 2008, once again, we find ourselves at the end of an era with a mandate from history to launch another new beginning. And once again, we have a candidate whose experience perfectly matches an extraordinary moment of transition.
"Barack Obama had the experience and wisdom to oppose a popular war based on faulty premises. His leadership experience has given him a unique capacity to inspire hope, in the promise of the American dream of a boundless future. His experience has also given him genuine respect for different views and humility, in the face of complex realities that cannot be squeezed into the narrow compartments of ideology. His experience has taught him something that career politicians often overlook: that inconvenient truths must be acknowledged if we are to have wise governance. ''

DENVER -- "Ba-rack Obama,'' sings Stevie Wonder at the close of a song sung with a standing choir as the last light of the sun in the stadium rests on the upper-deck behind the stage. "Yes we can, yes we can...
"I gotta do this one,'' says the old boy wonder from Motown, sitting down to an electric keyboard.
"Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours,'' Wonder sings, dedicating his song to "the future president of the United States.''
"I know Barack Obama's gonna set this country on fire,'' the singer once known as Stevland Morris sings. "Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours.''

DENVER -- "John McCain may pay hundreds of dollars for his shoes, but we're the ones who will pay for his flip-flops,'' Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico tells the mile-high audience, playing into a podium theme that McCain owns so many homes he cannot count them all.
"America faces a simple choice, do we want more of the same, or is it time to change America when America needs Barack Obama,'' Richardson tells the crowd, as the stadium fills to something somewhat short of capacity this evening.
"i have a question for you: Is anybody here going to miss Dick Cheney?'' asks Richardson, suggesting that Joe Biden will make "a great vice president.''
DENVER -- "A change will do us good,'' sings Sheryl Crow, on the stage of Barack Obama's nominating party as the sun starts to set over the mile-high field -- with a slight variant of the lyrics of her song, "A Change Would do You Good.''
Seems a theme is coming here.

DENVER - "We meet at one of those defining moments - a moment when our nation is at war, our economy is in turmoil, and the American promise has been threatened once more,'' Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's nominee for president, plans to say in the center of a coliseum packed with tens of thousands of people here.
"These challenges are not all of government's making,'' Obama plans to say. "But the failure to respond is a direct result of a broken politics in Washington and the failed presidency of George W. Bush... America, we are better than these last eight years,'' Obama will say. "We are a better country than this."
Contending that Republican rival John McCain has sided with an unpopular president 95 percent of the time, the Democrat plans to play on his campaign's call for "change'' with this comment on the senator from Arizona: "I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to take a ten percent chance on change.''
Obama, the Democratic Party's 2008 nominee for president, first African-American candidate of a major party and first since John F. Kennedy to accept his party's mantle in a coliseum, will step to the top of a circular stage with a colonnade framed by Doric columns behind him to accept the nomination in a mile-high forum with an audience of 75,000.
The rival Republican Party has attempted to cast the "audacious'' setting itself as proof of the "celebrity'' that it is at the heart of Obama's extraordinary appeal to, in particular, younger generations of voters - "mile high and an inch deep.''
Jennifer Hudson, the American Idol contestant and Oscar-winning actress for her role in Dreamgirls, launched the ceremony with a soaring National Anthem early this evening as thousands started to pour into the triple-deck Invesco Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos. Stevie Wonder sings this evening.
David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, scoffed at the criticism for the venue. "I think it's time we taught them a lesson about how to organize and win elections,'' Plouffe told the audience starting to assemble on the field this afternoon.
"You've helped us respond to the sleaze coming from John McCain and his campaign,'' Plouffe told the crowd, the manager suggesting that this gathering was emblematic of the enlistment of voters which Obama plans to make the core of his campaign for the White House. "We're going to undertake a voter registration drive the likes of which American politics has never seen.''
* * * *
Al Gore, the former vice president and Democratic candidate for president in 2000 - and winner of the popular vote that year - will address the convention-plus crowd this evening.
Sen. Dick Durbin, the senior senator from Illinois, will introduce Obama, the state's junior senator.
Martin Luther King III, oldest son of the slain civil rights leader who delivered his "I Have a Dream'' speech 40 years ago on the national mall in Washington, will address the audience here. So will Rev. Bernice King, his sister.
But the speech of the night comes from the candidate who made a national name for himself with the keynote address at the podium of the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Rival John McCain airs a congratulatory TV ad today, saluting Obama for a "job well done,'' even in the midst of a bruising campaign in which the McCain campaign accuses Obama of being "dangerously unprepared'' for the presidency.
* * * *
Tonight, Obama has only himself to compete with, in the hope that the words for which he is remembered most on Nov. 4 will be issued on this one star-filled evening on a high plain.
"Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story - of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well-off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to,'' Obama plans to say, according to excerpts of his speech released.
"It is that promise that has always set this country apart - that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well.
"It is why I stand here tonight. Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors -- found the courage to keep it alive.

"We meet at one of those defining moments - a moment when our nation is at war, our economy is in turmoil, and the American promise has been threatened once more,'' the nominee plans to say.
"Tonight, more Americans are out of work and more are working harder for less. More of you have lost your homes and more are watching your home values plummet. More of you have cars you can't afford to drive, credit card bills you can't afford to pay and tuition that is beyond your reach
"These challenges are not all of government's making. But the failure to respond is a direct result of a broken politics in Washington and the failed presidency of George W. Bush.
"America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this...
"This moment - this election - is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive. Because next week, in Minnesota, the same party that brought you two terms of George Bush and Dick Cheney will ask this country for a third. And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look just like the last eight. On November 4th, we must stand up and say: 'Eight is enough...'
"Now let there be no doubt. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and respect. And next week, we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need.
"But the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush ninety percent of the time. Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush was right more than ninety percent of the time? I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to take a ten percent chance on change...
"You see, we Democrats have a very different measure of what constitutes progress in this country.
"We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage; whether you can put away a little extra money at the end of each month so that you can someday watch your child receive her diploma. We measure progress in the 23 million new jobs that were created when Bill Clinton was President - when the average American family saw its income go up $7,500 instead of down $2,000 like it has under George Bush.
"We measure the strength of our economy not by the number of billionaires we have or the profits of the Fortune 500, but by whether someone with a good idea can take a risk and start a business, or whether the waitress who lives on tips can take a day off to look after a sick kid without losing her job - an economy that honors the dignity of work.
"The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great - a promise that is the only reason I am standing here tonight...
"That's the promise we need to keep. That's the change we need right now. So let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I am President.
"Change means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it.
"Unlike John McCain, I will stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship our jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America.
"I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow.
"I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95% of all working families. Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class.
"And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as President: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East.
"Washington has been talking about our oil addiction for the last thirty years, and John McCain has been there for twenty-six of them. In that time, he's said no to higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels. And today, we import triple the amount of oil as the day that Senator McCain took office.
"Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. Not even close.
"As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. I'll help our auto companies re-tool, so that the fuel-efficient cars of the future are built right here in America. I'll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. And I'll invest $150 billion over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy - wind power and solar power and the next generation of biofuels; an investment that will lead to new industries and five million new jobs that pay well and can't ever be outsourced...
"We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe. The Bush-McCain foreign policy has squandered the legacy that generations of Americans -- Democrats and Republicans - have built, and we are to restore that legacy.
"As Commander-in-Chief, I will never hesitate to defend this nation, but I will only send our troops into harm's way with a clear mission and a sacred commitment to give them the equipment they need in battle and the care and benefits they deserve when they come home.
"I will end this war in Iraq responsibly, and finish the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. I will rebuild our military to meet future conflicts. But I will also renew the tough, direct diplomacy that can prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. I will build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century: terrorism and nuclear proliferation; poverty and genocide; climate change and disease. And I will restore our moral standing so that America is once more the last, best hope for all who are called to the cause of freedom, who long for lives of peace, and who yearn for a better future."

(Glenwood Springs-AP) -- Crews rehabilitating land damaged by a wildfire near Glenwood Springs are looking out for grave sites and other signs of the Ute Indians who once lived in the area.
Representatives of the Northern and Southern Ute tribes toured the burn area last week to get a firsthand look at the damage.
Bill Kight, heritage resource manager for the White River National Forest, said previous fires have destroyed most cultural artifacts vulnerable to fire.
He said the tribes and federal land officials are now concerned about damage to cultural sites from firefighting, efforts to control erosion and from erosion itself.

Catholic streaks past Sissonville
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When Charleston Catholic fell behind early in the second half Thursday night, coach Domenic Cipollone saw that old fire in the Fighting Irish's eyes.
Joey Trupo scored the last two goals as No. 5 Catholic handed top-ranked Sissonville its first loss of the season, a 2-1 decision. A vocal crowd of about 300 attended the Class AA-A matchup at Andrew Jordon Field at Trace Fork.
The four-time defending state champion Irish (5-0-2) also extended their unbeaten streak to 62 matches. Catholic's last loss was a 7-4 setback at Parkersburg on Oct. 12, 2010.
The Irish won the last five games of the 2010 season, including their second of four straight Class AA-A state titles, and haven't lost since. Catholic has had four ties and finished with identical 23-0-2 records the past two seasons.
"When they needed to turn it up they did,'' said Cipollone, Catholic's first-year coach. "I think they got motivated when they were down.''
Hunter White gave Sissonville a 1-0 lead Thursday less than six minutes into the second half, converting a direct kick from about 20 yards out from the top left of the penalty-box area.
The Irish roared back behind Trupo, who knotted the game at 1-all with 27:52 to go. Anthony Cipollone put a pass right on the foot of Trupo, who was streaking toward the goal down the left side. Trupo then took a few dribbles before putting away the shot into the lower right corner.
Trupo put the Irish up for good at 2-1 with 15:03 remaining. Cipollone sent a pass from the right side across the face of the goal, where Sissonville keeper J.R. Stricklen made a play on the ball a bit too late and missed. Trupo was waiting at the left post and headed the ball into the net as he laid out nearly vertical to the turf.
The fact that Catholic was missing two starters because of suspensions made the win even sweeter for the Irish, who have found themselves trailing in several games this season as they adjust to replacing three of the team's top four goal scorers from a year ago.
"It boosts our confidence and our self-esteem,'' said Trupo. "After tying St. Joe's [in last weekend's Bishop's Cup] it was just a complete letdown.
"Against Oak Hill we had the same situation [a 4-4 tie] and we couldn't convert. To come back like this is just a great, great feeling. We'll be in a good mood now, which we haven't been the whole season. We love games like this. We lost two starters and we're just facing adversity. That's what we need.''
Patrick Cline made two second-half stops for Catholic while Sissonville's Stricklen finished with six saves.
Sissonville (6-1-1) is closing the gap on longtime nemesis Catholic, which has bounced the Indians from the sectionals twice since 2008.
"We got a little complacent after we got the lead and they took advantage of it,'' said Sissonville coach Eric Minsker, who also was missing a couple of key substitutes because of injuries. "They're a good team like always.
"We felt like we had a good opportunity. They earned it. They worked for it. The next one down the road is the most important. We'll just have to improve and work on the things we made mistakes on tonight and get better. We kind of know what to expect [now from Catholic].''

Dancing With The Stars
Snooki: I Actually Gained Weight on Dancing With the Stars
If you haven't kept up with Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi since Jersey Shore ended last year, you may still think of her as the lovable meatball for whom "diet" or "exercise" would have been a four-letter word. But avid followers of Nicole know that the reality star has since become a bit of a health nut, showing off her slimmed-down figure and fitness routine on social media. So when the pint-sized guidette was cast on the latest season of Dancing With the Stars — a show where many a contestant has lost a good chunk of weight — you'd think keeping her shape would have been easy. Not so, said Snooki!
"I actually gained more weight on the show because I wasn't with my trainer," she reveals to Life & Style. "My trainer puts me on this crazy regimen. I ate more, I didn't do my weight training and I gained a little weight."
After getting over the initial disappointment of being eliminated from the ballroom dance competition, Snooki appreciated being able to get back into her normal fitness regimen. "I get to lift weights at home," she said. "I was just running around [on DWTS]."
Now that the 26-year-old mother is home, she's back to her daily routine, in which she benches, squats and runs three miles. Seriously impressive, Snooks! Though she does admit that sometimes her son Lorenzo takes precedent. "Sometimes [I] just want to be home with my [baby]. I get lazy sometimes."
Hey, everyone needs a cheat day now and then. And as for Nicole gaining weight on DWTS, we sure didn't notice anything. We were too focused on her killing it in her routines! Hopefully she'll still throw those dancing shoes back on from time to time.
Did you watch Snooki on DWTS? What did you think? Let us know in the comments.

Box Office Showdown: Iron Man vs. Harry Potter
With an impressive box office opening for "Iron Man 3," Tony Stark is showing signs of becoming a better a draw for Walt Disney than Harry Potter was for Time Warner.
With an impressive box office opening for "Iron Man 3," Tony Stark is showing signs of becoming a better a draw for Walt Disney than Harry Potter was for Time Warner.
Comic-Con comes to San Diego this July, and it's one of the hottest tickets of the year -- a Super Bowl caliber event for fans of sci-fi, fantasy and horror. And there are plenty of those fans, which is why the studios that cater to them are banking big stock gains.
Rising enthusiasm for comic books has led some to view them as an investment like rare baseball cards or stamps. There's good reason for this: History shows that hard-to-find comics can command huge sums. But should you put your money in the hands of superheroes?
AMC's "The Walking Dead" is a runaway hit,and its ratings just keep getting bigger. Clearly, America is in a post-apocalyptic mood, as hooked on zombies as we are on vampires. So if you've got the brains, you might want to invest in this undead trend. Here are four stocks to consider before the world ends.
Between Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise and the Harry Potter series, Time Warner raked in more than $9 billion in box office receipts over the past decade. After "The Dark Knight Rises" ends its run, what hero will save movie theaters from the attack of the red ink?
Comic book-based media and pop culture enjoying a string of successes like they haven't had in decades. That's good news for the fans -- and for investors looking for a chance at high-flying profits.
DVDs -- and even their more modern Blu-ray siblings -- are gradually fading to black, as VHS and LaserDisc did before them. Movie studios have seen this coming for some time. Problem is, it's part of a bigger trend they may not be able to overcome.
After months of bitter negotiations, NBA owners and players finally agreed to terms, and a pro basketball season will start on Christmas Day. So who besides players, owners and fans will benefit? Let's start with stockholders in these companies.
Eventually Netflix, had to stop doing stupid things and do a smart one -- and it did. It has made a deal to be the exclusive home of "Arrested Development" when the critically acclaimed comedy returns to TV in 2013.
The buck stops here at Redbox. Renting a DVD from one of the disc-spewing kiosks will now set you back $1.20 a night, up from the round $1 price point that Redbox parent Coinstar has promoted for years. It's the wrong move at the wrong time, and the sad clincher is that it's not even necessary.

Valdemārpils Town and Surroundings
Valdemārpils (before 1926 – Sasmaka) lies 16 km north of Talsi, on the shore of Lake Sasmaka. An ancient Couronian castle once stood on top of the near-by Dupurkalns hill, also the site of cult activity. The name of Sasmaka is found in historical sources as early as 1582, but a town started to spread out here only in the early 19th century.
Valdemārpils received its name only in 1926, when the government of the Republic of Latvia renamed the small town of Sasmaka, paying tribute to a prominent public figure of the national awakening period, Krišjānis Valdemārs, who lived here from 1835 to 1845.
Once in Valdemārpils, it is worth taking a walk through the narrow streets and to see the old one-storey timber houses, a special feature of Valdemārpils architectural style. On a hot summer's day be sure to go to the well-maintained beach on Lake Sasmaka where you can relax, enjoy a swim, or test your strength on a sports ground.
You should also climb up the ancient Couronian castle mound where the region's first song festival was held in 1936. Valdemārpils is proud of its lime (linden) trees – the largest lime tree in the Baltic states, called the Idol Lime Tree (Elku liepa), and the luxurious trees planted by Valdemārs himself that now line Valdemārs Street.

CLEVELAND -- Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty says eight of the most violent prisoners have been moved from the Juvenile Justice Center to the Cuyahoga County Jail and a ninth prisoner's transfer is pending.
This move comes after the center has had increasing incidents of violence. The center opened in late 2011 and the Quincy Avenue facility has seen an escalation in violence.
The problems increased following a new state law that requires the center to hold adults accused of committing serious crimes when they were juveniles. Prosecutor's office spokesman Joe Frolik adds that the prosecutor's office has "...now started using a provision in that state law that does allow for a hearing to determine if one of these older, violent inmates should be held at an adult facility."
Frolik said Cuyahoga County Council is being asked to provide more security for the center.
"Our office – led by Duane Deskins, the new juvenile justice chief -– has been working with the court to improve safety..." Frolik said.
In a statement released Tuesday, McGinty said:
Eight of the most violent prisoners at the Juvenile Justice Center have now completed a required judicial review and been transferred to the County Jail. A ninth case is pending.
For these individuals, who have already been bound over and will be tried as adults on felony charges by the General Division of the Common Pleas Court, the County Jail is a far more appropriate and secure setting. Moving them out of the Juvenile Justice Center will make that facility safer for both those who work there and the other children who are being detained there.
Moving forward, we will continue to pursue similar legal steps against other older, violent prisoners and those who attack other children or staff members.
In addition, we are working with Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court Administrative Judge Kristin W. Sweeney to provide additional training for staff and to monitor violence within the detention center. We also join with the court in urging County Council to add security personnel at the Juvenile Justice Center.

By: Breanna Edwards Posted: Dec. 10 2013 12:38 PM 0 Mitt Romney EMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP/Getty Images Netflix announced Monday that it will be releasing a documentary next year that looks inside Mitt Romney's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. Mitt is set to premiere Jan. 24, after an earlier showing Jan. 17 at the Sundance Film Festival, ABC News reports. "Greg Whiteley's Mitt provides viewers a surprising level of access into a fascinating world," said Lisa Nishimura, vice president of Netflix's Original Documentary and Comedy division. Whiteley, the film's director and producer, said he was surprised by the access he got to Romney. He first met the Romney family in 2006, ABC News notes. "I couldn't believe I was filming inside rooms and situations I had no business being in," Whiteley said. "I couldn't be more pleased to share this experience with audiences around the world through Netflix." Read more at ABC News. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

Bruce Coriell
College Chaplain & Lecturer
I believe the most effective teachers are themselves engaged learners. My own education includes an undergraduate degree in philosophy, classical Protestant seminary training and a graduate program in theology focusing on modern and contemporary thought. Ironically, I rarely teach within these broad academic traditions. During my years at Colorado College, I have taught theory and method, multi-disciplinary approaches to the study of religion and field study in religious communities. My current teaching interests include the intersection between religion and the natural world as well as the field of indigenous religious traditions.
I value my relationships with my colleagues in the Religion Department and I'm crazy about the adventurous spirit of our student scholars. For years, I attempted to keep my roles as college chaplain and faculty member separate until I realized that a single, integrated vocation has strengthened my contributions as both faculty and chaplain. As faculty, I have embraced the notion that my courses are opportunities for student transformation, whether as scholars of religious studies or as human beings on a path. As chaplain, I am grounded in the understanding that for our students, religious experience is discovered within and shaped by the distinct educational context here at Colorado College. I treasure the opportunity to teach at Colorado College.

By CHRIS COLLINS
The Baker School Board, in a split vote Tuesday, added one year to Superintendent Walt Wegener's contract, extending the deal to June 30, 2015.
The board lengthened Wegener's current contract, which had two years remaining, after reviewing a performance evaluation prepared by Board Chair Lynne Burroughs and director Mark Henderson, who commended Wegener for going "beyond our expectations" to accomplish the goals set for him.
Burroughs, Henderson and director Andrew Bryan voted to approve the evaluation and to add the additional year to Wegener's contract.
Salary was not discussed.
Wegener is earning $102,527 this year.
Director Kyle Knight voted against the motion to approve the evaluation and to extend the superintendent's contract.
Knight declined to speak during the executive (closed to the public) portion of Tuesday's meeting, during which the board reviewed the evaluation Burroughs and Henderson wrote.
During the subsequent public portion of the meeting, Burroughs did not allow Knight to discuss Wegener's evaluation or explain why he voted not to extend the superintendent's contract.
Director Jim Longwell abstained from voting, saying he did not have enough information about the evaluation.
"That was all done — I'd never seen it," Longwell said, referring to the report prepared by Burroughs and Henderson. "I had three or four minutes to look at it.
"I'll go home and read it and I might be able to come to an opinion on it," Longwell said.
Knight was censured by the board in April for releasing information that Burroughs, Henderson and Bryan, along with district administrators, believe should have been kept confidential. A group of community residents is seeking to recall Burroughs and Henderson as a result of that action. Bryan is not part of the recall effort.
Knight said after the meeting that he chose not to speak in the closed session because he wanted to be able to express his opinion on the issue without being bound by the Oregon Public Meetings Law requirement not to disclose information discussed in executive session.
"I've come to the conclusion that new leadership is needed and a new superintendent is needed," he said.
Knight claims the superintendent has made comments to him, that he considers "highly inappropriate."
"He needs to understand that he can't disrespect board members," Knight said.
Burroughs said after the meeting that the executive session was called to allow Knight and the other board members to review the evaluation she and Henderson had prepared and then to add their comments. The closed meeting afforded other directors an opportunity to add their opinions in a candid discussion about the superintendent.
Burroughs said she was advised by Dan Van Thiel, the district's legal counsel, to cancel Tuesday's meeting because of concern about Knight's attendance at a meeting in which confidential information would be discussed.
Burroughs said she chose to go ahead with the meeting because it had been advertised to the public.
Burroughs said she and Henderson followed the model established by prior boards that called for the board chair and one other director to compile a preliminary evaluation. From there, the process was intended to continue in the closed session before moving to an open session to take action, she said.
Burroughs said she was sorry that Longwell felt that he was not given enough time to review the paperwork before the vote was taken.
"It was a document of four pages," she said. "They were there way before (the vote was taken)."
Burroughs said it didn't appear that Knight looked at the documents before stating that he could not support it.
During the meeting, Van Thiel advised the board that if it continues to meet in executive session, directors should avoid discussing details of topics allowed in the closed session such as personnel issues, real estate transactions and labor negotiations.
He recommended instead that the directors meet individually with the administrators in "sidebar" sessions.
Van Thiel said that process would call for directors to meet one-on-one with Wegener or Doug Dalton, the district's chief financial officer, to discuss confidential issues. Dalton chose to exercise that option during Tuesday's meeting rather than discussing labor negotiations in the closed session as was announced on the agenda.
Dalton said he would follow Van Thiel's recommendation to schedule sidebar sessions with the directors to seek consensus on a proposed contract settlement with the district's classified employees, who include secretaries, bus drivers, cooks and other nonlicensed workers.
If consensus is reached among directors, the full board would take action on the contract agreement and any other items discussed in sidebar sessions during a public meeting, Van Thiel said.
Burroughs said Knight would be included in the sidebar sessions if he agrees to keep information confidential.
"Kyle can participate if it's not material he will go shrieking to Lars Larson with," she said.
"I would prefer having executive sessions and having the press there," Burroughs said. "But it's not working and we need to try something else."
Burroughs said she will not allow board members or community members to criticize district employees during open meetings. Those complaints should be taken first to district administrators, she said.
"If it's about the superintendent, they ought to talk to me," she said. "Call me on the phone. I'm in the book."
She said Tuesday's closed session was the place for Knight to express any complaints he has against Wegener.
"I'm not going to get into a public session where that goes on," she said. "I don't have to allow it and I didn't."
Knight also maintains that he would prefer executive session meetings to discuss confidential information, when necessary.
"My conclusion on that is they're going underground," he said. "Instead of having executive session, we're having secret meetings."

Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2014
ATLANTA (AP)-A new report shows fewer children are dying in traffic accidents, and officials say that's because more young kids are buckled up.
Over a decade, the number of children 12 and under who died in crashes dropped by 43 percent. Health officials say increased use of car seats and booster seats drove the decline.
Still, a third of the 650 children who died in 2011 were not buckled up. That was the case in almost half of the black and Hispanic deaths compared to a quarter of white deaths.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the report on Tuesday.

Fire danger prompts campfire ban at Grand Canyon
Camping in some areas of the Grand Canyon will mean doing so without a campfire.
Starting Friday, all wood burning and charcoal fires will be banned throughout the national park, including in residential areas. The exception is along the Colorado River.
Pressurized liquid or gas stoves that can be turned off are OK.
Park officials say the restrictions are due to increased fire danger at the Grand Canyon. The hot, dry conditions are expected to remain until the monsoon arrives.
Firefighters are managing a wildfire that's nearly 7 square miles at the canyon. They say it's 50 percent contained and will be allowed to keep burning to restore the ecosystem.
The Kaibab National Forest north of the Grand Canyon also is banning campfires starting Friday.
One Less Spark One Less Wildfire. Please do your part. Don't let a wildfire start.
- Before going hiking or camping, check for fire restrictions and closures in the area. Direct your inquiries to the agency that manages the public lands you are visiting.
- If you are a smoker, smoke only on paved surfaces or in an enclosed vehicle. Never toss cigarette butts on the ground or out the window of a vehicle. Always use an ashtray to prevent wildfires. Practice Leave No Trace principles - pack out cigarette butts and burned materials from your camping area.
- If you are using a portable stove, clear the area of grasses and other fine fuels and be careful to prevent the stove from tipping over.
- Make sure your vehicle is properly maintained, with nothing dragging on the ground. Dragging chains will throw sparks. Never substitute parts when towing. Only use appropriate safety pins & hitch ball.
- Check tire pressure. Driving on an exposed wheel rim throws sparks.
- Never let your brake pads wear too thing. Metal on metal makes sparks.
- Never park a vehicle over dead grass; the catalytic converter can ignite the vegetation.
- Carry a fire extinguisher in your vehicle and learn how to use it.
- If you see smoke or fire, call 911. Report the location, what is burning, how fast it is moving, how tall the flames are, and what is in danger. Stay on the phone. Do NOT attempt to put out a fire by yourself.

In the few months that Keuka College has boasted an expanded curriculum in its newest major, Art and Design, students have begun digging into new studio art and digital design courses. Now, they're showcasing what they've learned.
Currently on display at Lightner Gallery in Lightner Library at the College through April 11, the student art show features a collection of digital illustration, mixed media and other designs from the new classes. These pieces are in addition to the photography, paintings, drawings, ceramics and sculptures created in existing classes.
"What you see when you walk into the space is the range and breadth of what the new art and design program offers," said Melissa Newcomb, assistant professor of art.
On Thursday, March 20, from 4:30 – 6 p.m., an artists' reception with light refreshments will be held at the gallery. All members of the campus community are invited to attend the event, which is free and open to the public. The work in this show has been crafted by freshmen, sophomores, and juniors as well as seniors whose major is not in art. Graduating seniors in the current program will exhibit their cumulative art portfolios later, in the final gallery show of the academic year.
"This year's student show work is stellar," said Winsome Zinkievich '14 of her fellow artists. "Though each piece is unique and tells its own story, each piece also compliments all the other works presented."
Those distinct differences proved a bit perplexing however, when it came to handling logistics for the exhibit, Newcomb pointed out.
"The layout was a challenge because everyone has their own individual style. One piece is not like the next – so how do you create a sense of flow? But it came together with more than one set of eyes and it worked out wonderfully," she said, crediting Zinkievich, Jesse Ninos '17 and Mitch Leet '16 for help crafting the overall design of the show.
This year's show demonstrates the strength of the talent being developed at the College through the old and new programs, said Leet, who switched to the new art and design major this fall. Some of the additions to the curriculum include Foundations of Design, the prerequisite course in which students begin developing their art portfolios, Mixed Media, Visual Design, Digital Illustration and Digital Storytelling.
"I'm very excited about the future of art at Keuka and I feel very lucky to be part of such a fantastic show," Leet said.

Mortal Kombat Finishing Moves Video, Featuring a Surprise from Lui Kang
Midway has unveiled this new video showing off the last few fatalities/brutalities for Mortal Kombat Vs. DC. In all, you can see three finishing moves from Liu Kang, Batman, and Baraka. The best though probably has to come from Liu Kang, who goes into a fiery pose…before an old Mortal Kombat arcade machine drops from the sky onto his opponent. I don't know if I'd call that a "Fatality" necessarily though, since The Joker is clearly still moving afterwards. The finishing moves in this game may be tamer than past entries in the MK series, but at least Midway seems to be making up for it by including a few zanier ones.

See those little men supporting each row of books? They're little alabaster figurines. What started as random composers picked up in the odd browse through the home goods section of Marshall's or TJ Maxx has now turned into a full-blown commitment to systematically seek and obtain these curios.
To Trey's great delight, he recently discovered that you can acquire these figures, or bustes as Addison creatively redubbed the plural of bust, on eBay. And not just any figures. Greek gods and goddesses shipped from, of all places, Greece.
The price is surprisingly friendly and he made a recent acquisition of 9 or so.
They actually fit quite nicely considering the age of most of his tomes, him being an historian and all.
Rather fetching, don't you think?

I spent nearly 2 hours on it today, and my legs are freakin' tired, but I love it! Sadly, the commute to the new job I'll hopefully be starting next month is about 17km (or 10.56 miles for the metrically challenged) and will probably prove too far to bike, but I'd expect it will be my primary summer transportation for everything else.
Anyway, so Hi folks, glad to find yet another friendly forum for yet another hobby. I swear there's a forum for talking to people who share your interest in damn near anything on the Internet.

The Life of Mahomet
With Introductory Chapters on the Original Sources for the Biography of Mahomet, and on the Pre-Islamite History of Arabia, Vol. 3
by William Muir
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
At the close of the Sixth Chapter, we left Mahomet and Abu Bakr, on the second day after their escape from the cave, already beyond the reach of pursuit, and rapidly wending their way towards Medîna.
They had by this time joined the common road to Syria which runs near the shore of the Red Sea. On the morning of the third day a small caravan was observed in the distance. The apprehensions of the fugitives were soon allayed, for Abu Bakr recognized at the head of the caravan his cousin Talha, who was returning from a mercantile trip to Syria. Warm was the greeting, and loud the congratulations. Talha opened his stores, and, producing two changes of fine white Syrian raiment, bestowed them on his kinsman and the Prophet.

A newly developing ADAS market is that of Surround Vision or Top View systems. These generally consist of 6 wide field of view (FoV) cameras located around the vehicle – 1 per side of the vehicle, 1 in the vehicle grille and 1 rear mounted camera. Each camera typically has a FoV of around 180 degrees with fisheye/distortion correction and use NTSC color imagers for high quality image display in vehicle.
The typical set of functions for Surround Systems is that of low speed maneuvering assistant. In other words the systems provide a central display with a bird's eye view of the vehicle and its immediate surrounding and assist the driver with parking maneuvers.
Due to Mobileye's unique EyeQ3 processor and functional capabilities, as well as retaining the traditional Mobileye windshield mounted camera functions, OEMs are now conceiving systems using the EyeQ3 and Mobileye algorithms as the central 'hub' processor embedded in the Surround View system. The EyeQ3 is capable of performing the Mobileye forward looking windshield mounted functions set, whilst using inputs from the rear camera as described in the section 'Rear Camera', and once in low speed situations, such as parking, then performing the Surround View processing as well as reversing Pedestrian and General Object Detection. The front mounted grille camera may also be used for additional functions in development such as Stereo Assist or Cross Traffic Detection.
This unique set of capabilities will lead to the EyeQ3 being the processor of choice for Surround View implementation at the OEM from 2014 on-wards.

This is a Lowell meets Lowell story. There are very few of those. It's just that the 49ers have in camp an undrafted rookie cornerback named Lowell Rose. Be still my heart. In my whole life, I've met one, maybe two, Lowells. I've been a lonely man. I asked the 49ers public relations department if they could set up a one on one with Lowell Rose and they kindly arranged it. They were pretty clever about the whole thing. They… Read More »
