Union Greed in Modern America
In the United States of America, companies has lost a great deal of their competitive advantage on the world market largely due to unions demanding outrageous wages, benefices, and power.

The Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, still dogs the White House and the State Department. Four Americans, including the ambassador to Libya, were killed in the attack. Eight months later, that attack is still being investigated by the FBI and by congressional committees. Hearings by a congressional committee last week helped show how facts often get spun in a way that lessens political damage to top-ranking federal officials.
The American people deserve better than that. They deserve a full airing of the facts surrounding this disturbing incident.
The Benghazi attack and the White House response to it have frustrated members of Congress; so last week the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held another hearing on the issue. This time, previously silent witnesses came forth. They shared their frustration, shock and anger at the crudely political way the aftermath of the crisis was handled.
Perhaps most damning of all was the lengthy testimony of Gregory Hicks, the State Department foreign service officer and former deputy chief of mission in Libya when the attack happened.
Hicks, a credible witness, struggled with emotion as he testified. More than any other witness or congressional critic so far, Hicks helped shine a light on why the Benghazi issue matters. It matters because the American people were sold dubious spin, not facts, only days after the attack.
The apparent purpose of this spin was to shield the State Department � in charge of embassy protection � and the Obama administration from criticism. There also may have been some election-related spin going on.
What has long angered critics of the Obama administration�s handling of the Benghazi matter is that the administration seemed determined to blame the Benghazi attack on an anti-Islamic YouTube video that had ostensibly provoked demonstrators in Cairo, Egypt. Susan Rice, ambassador to the U.N., went on Sunday talk shows after the Sept. 11 attack and blamed the video.
Referring to Rice�s explanation, Hicks was blunt: �I was stunned. My jaw dropped. And I was embarrassed.�
In fact, the attacks were known to have been launched by an al-Qaida-affiliated group, Ansar al-Sharia, and Hicks had told State Department officials that � yet he was ignored.
What appears to have happened after the attack was a concerted effort by State Department officials to spin a story in a way that would lessen the political damage to the Obama administration and cover for officials who did nothing that night.
In an effort to prevent another such debacle, Congress will continue its probe of the administration until all relevant facts are aired. That is as it should be. Families of the dead and the American people deserve nothing less.

Hello all.
I've installed Zimbra some time ago, and it has been working properly so far.
However, last week, when I was away from my office, I tried to send an email and got an error response.
Thought it might be related to the fact that I was using the hotel wireless, tried again, now with webmail and i've got the same error.
Double checked the installation config and everything seemed to be normal.
Tried once more and the error persisted.

Trey Hillman Pregame Media Session
On Jose Guillen, who hit two home runs on Monday
Guillen says his timing is there. Hillman disagreed with him on his first game back, but believes he has his timing now. He needs to just swing at good pitches
On Soria and Waechter injury updates
There is no time table on a return for Joakim Soria or Doug Waechter. Waechter threw a bullpen session today without pain.
On Greinke, the SI cover, and media attention
Hillman noted that Zack is a special pitcher (and admitted that special is an understatement).
Zack does not get caught up in the hype of the SI cover, but Hillman believes it is great for Greinke and for Royals.
Hillman mentioned that Zack has a lot of personal strength and that his teammates and coaches love working with Zack. He noted that pitching coach Bob McClure and catcher Miguel Olivo have been vital in Zack's development.
Hillman is hopeful that the national attention of Zack on the Sports Illustrated cover will bring more people out to the game tomorrow night (Wednesday) when Greinke makes the start. He also mentioned what the attention can do for the team.
"We have the desire…we can be the team we want to be for the Kansas City community and build our fan base outside of the Kansas City area as well."

Day 25: Slither (2006)
Photo provided by AP Photo/Universal Pictures
Slither | 95 min | Rated: R
Writer/director James Gunn took the best parts of B-movie Night of the Creeps and David Cronenberg's They Came from Within, mashing the pieces into the exquisitely funny, gross and terrifying Slither.
A Troma alum with writing credits ranging from Scooby-Doo movies to the remake of Dawn of the Dead, Gunn possessed all the raw materials to pull it off. The film is equal parts silly and smart, grotesque and endearing, original and homage. More importantly, it's just plain awesome.
Cutie pie Starla (Elizabeth Banks) is having some marital problems. Her husband Grant (the great horror actor Michael Rooker) is at the epicenter of an alien invasion. Smalltown sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) tries to set things straight as a giant mucous ball, a balloonlike womb-woman, a squid monster, projectile vomit, zombies, and loads and loads of slugs keep the action really hopping.
The cast is superb, especially Gregg Henry as foul mouthed Mayor MacReady. It helps that he gets all the best lines. Like, "If this #$%'s contagious and I turn into a ^&%$@ mollusk, I'm going to sue those $#@!^!"
Gunn lifts certain scenes – the best scenes – directly from both the Cronenberg and the lesser Creeps effort, but never steals. His film brims with affectionate nods, including the great early scene where white trash Margaret sits on her couch with her toddler watching Troma's classic Toxic Avenger. Classy, mom!
Consistently funny, cleverly written, well paced, tense and scary and gross – Slither has it all. Watch it. Do it!
Day 24: Audition (1999)
Audition | 115 min | Rated: R
The prolific director Takashi Miike made more than 70 films in his first 20 or so years in film. Among the best is Audition, a phenomenally creepy May/December romance gone awry.
Audition tells the story of a widower convinced by his TV producer friend to hold mock television auditions as a way of finding a suitable new mate. He is repaid for his deception.
The story itself follows a far more linear path than what's commonly found in Japanese horror, but the usual preoccupations with hair, decorum, and bodily horror still abound. My favorite quote from the movie: "The police tried to recompose her body. Three extra fingers and an ear came up."
That's just solid detective work!
Nearly unwatchable and yet too compelling to turn away from, Audition is a remarkable piece of genre filmmaking. The slow moving picture builds anticipation, dread, then full-on horror.
Midway through, Miike punctuates the film with one of the most effective startles in modern horror, and then picks up the pace, building grisly momentum toward a perversely uncomfortable climax.
By the time Audition hits its ghastly conclusion, Miike and his exquisitely terrifying antagonist (Eihi Shina) have wrung the audience dry. She will not be the ideal stepmother.
Keep an eye on the burlap sack.
Day 23: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre | 83 min | Rated: R
Not everyone considers The Texas Chainsaw Massacre a classic. Those people are wrong.
Tobe Hooper's camera work, so home-movie like, worked with the "based on a true story" tag line like nothing before it, and the result seriously disturbed the folks of 1974. It has been ripped off and copied dozens of times since its release, but in the context of its time, it was so absolutely original it was terrifying.
Hooper sidestepped all the horror gimmicks audiences had grown accustomed to – a spooky score that let you know when to grow tense, shadowy interiors that predicted oncoming scares – and instead shot guerilla-style in broad daylight, outdoors, with no score at all. You just couldn't predict what was coming.
Hooper also cast aside any concerns for dignity or fair play, a theme best personified by wheelchair-bound Franklin. Franklin is supremely unlikeable – whiney and selfish – ending horror's long history of using personal vulnerability to make a character more sympathetic.
Films such as Wait Until Dark, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and Rear Window (all excellent movies) ratcheted up tension through the sympathy they could generate toward the helpless character. These films' anxiety and payoff both owe everything to watching the vulnerable protagonist in danger, and waiting for them to overcome the odds.
But Hooper is after an entirely different kind of tension. He dashes your expectations, making you uncomfortable, as if you have no idea what you could be in for. As if, in watching this film, you yourself are in more danger than you'd predicted.
But not more danger than Franklin is in, because Franklin is not in for a good time.
So, poor, unlikeable Franklin Hardesty, his pretty sister Sally, and a few other friends head out to Grampa Hardesty's final resting place after hearing the news of some Texas cemeteries being grave-robbed. They just want to make sure Grampy's still resting in peace – an adventure which eventually leads to most of them making a second trip to a cemetery. Well, what's left of them.
Day 22: The Conjuring (2013)
The Conjuring | 112 minutes | Rated: R
Out today on DVD, BluRay and streaming is the scariest movie of 2013: The Conjuring.
Welcome to 1971, the year the Perron family took one step inside their new home and screamed with horror, "My God, this wallpaper is hideous!"
Seriously, it often surprises me that civilization made it through the Seventies. Must every surface and ream of fabric be patterned? Still, the Perrons found survival tougher than most.
The farmhouse's previous residents may be dead, but they haven't left, and they are testy! So the Perrons have no choice but to look up paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren – the real life couple linked to many famous American hauntings, including one in Amityville, NY. The Conjuring is allegedly based on one of the couple's cases.
Yes, this is an old-fashioned ghost story, built from the ground up to push buttons of childhood terror. But don't expect a long, slow burn. Director James Wan expertly balances suspense with quick, satisfying bursts of visual terror.
Wan cut his teeth – and Cary Elwes's bones – with 2004's corporeal horror Saw. He's since turned his attention to something more spectral, and his skill with supernatural cinema only strengthens with each film.
Ghost stories are hard to pull off, though, especially in the age of instant gratification. Few modern moviegoers have the patience for atmospheric dread, so filmmakers now turn to CGI to ramp up thrills. The results range from the visceral fun of The Woman in Black to the needless disappointment of Mama.
But Wan understands the power of a flesh and blood villain in a way that other directors don't seem to. He proved this with the creepy fun of Insidious, and surpasses those scares with his newest effort.
A game cast helps. Joining five believably terrified girls in solid performances are Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and the surprisingly well-suited Ron Livingston as the helpless patriarch. The usually sublime Lili Taylor is uncharacteristically flat as the clan's loving mother, unfortunately, but there's more than enough to distract you from that.
Wan's expert timing and clear joy when wielding spectral menace help him and his impressive cast overcome the handful of weaknesses in the script by brothers Chad and Carey Hayes. Claustrophobic when it needs to be and full of fun house moments, The Conjuring will scare you while you're in the theater and stick with you after. At the very least, you'll keep your feet tucked safely under the covers.
Day 21: The Descent (2005)
The Descent | 99 min | Rated: R
A caving expedition turns ugly for a group of friends, who will quickly realize that being trapped inside the earth is not the worst thing that could happen. The Descent is the most profoundly claustrophobic film since The Vanishing (the original, not that wussy Keifer Sutherland remake).
This spelunking adventure comes with a familiar cast of characters: arrogant authority figure, maverick, emotionally scarred question mark, bickering siblings, and a sad-sack tag along. And yet, somehow, the interaction among them feels surprisingly authentic, and not just because each is cast as a woman.
These ladies are not Green Berets who, unlike the audience, are trained for extreme circumstances. These particular thrill seekers are just working stiffs on vacation. It hits a lot closer to home.
More importantly, the cast is rock solid, each bringing a naturalness to her character that makes her absolutely horrifying, merciless, stunningly brutal final moments on this earth that much more meaningful.
Writer/director Neil Marshall must be commended for sidestepping the obvious trap of exploiting the characters for their sexuality – I'm not saying he avoids this entirely, but for a horror director he is fantastically restrained. He also manages to use the characters' vulnerability without patronizing or stereotyping.
He makes even better use of the story's structure. Between that and the way film and sound editing are employed, Marshall squeezes every available ounce of anxiety from the audience.
The film begins with an emotionally jolting shock, quickly follows with some awfully unsettling cave crawling, squeezing and generally hyperventilating, then turns dizzyingly panicky before it snaps a bone right in two.
And then we find out there are monsters.
Long before the first drop of blood is drawn by the monsters – which are surprisingly well-conceived and tremendously creepy – the audience has already been wrung out emotionally.
The grislier the film gets, the more primal the tone becomes, eventually taking on a tenor as much like a war movie as a horror film. This is not surprising from the director that unleashed Dog Soldiers – a gory fun werewolf adventure. But Marshall's second attempt is far scarier.
For full-on horror, this is one heck of a monster movie.

By Nick Pearce, Telegraph Sport
It's like something out of a Hollywood B-movie. Lewis Moody is facing a "race against time" to get fit for England's must win game against France on Saturday.
Too much? Ok, well the slightly diluted version is that England team manager Martin Johnson is "sweating on the fitness" of Moody.
What I want to know is why?
England sit atop of the championship log with two wins, a truckload of points and a barely-bothered defence to their name. France, meanwhile, have tinkered with their back-row to the extent that, on paper at least, ageing back-rower Sebastian Chabal is at No 7.
Surely now is the time to let the hungry duo of Tom Wood and James Haskell continue to fill their boots against the French?
Moody has played little over a quarter of a match in the past five weeks while the other two have had lengthy stints on the paddock against Wales and Italy.
Johnson doesn't seem convinced with the idea of throwing in his captain from the start, saying on Monday that he only hoped Moody would be fit to "participate" on Saturday.
He only wants his skipper to "participate"? Therein lies the dilemma for Johnson. In the past year Moody has taken on talisman status within the England set-up.
The Bath flanker's first game as England captain was against France in the Six Nations last season, the match where the Red Rose appeared to throw off the metaphorical shackles and finally give their speedsters a sniff of possession.
Moody might be knackered beyond belief but he embodies the brave new England that we've all come to love in recent weeks.
The mind says leave him out and continue with the conditioned and settled back row currently in place. But the heart says, this is Lewis Moody. This is Mad Dog. He bleeds – on an all too regular basis – for the England cause and set this ship on its much improved course.
Ironically if he does come back into the team it's likely that Haskell – the flanker who plies his trade week in week out in the French Top 14 against these players – would be the one to miss out, with Wood's superior line-out work counting in his favour.
Spare a thought too for Hendre Fourie on the bench. He's done nothing wrong, but to many he's just not Lewis Moody.
Who'd be a selector, eh?
What do you think? Should Lewis Moody come back in to the side? Or should Martin Johnson leave it like it is?

This has gone on too long.
I have felt like a degenerate teenager with my trendy/rebellious golden-streaked locks that don't match any of my pretty Spring/Summer wardrobe for far too long.
Just as I was about to purchase a home hair-dye kit, my editor asks me, "Do you want to get your ombre locks fixed by this famous Beverly Hills colorist?"
Thank you, Lord for answering my prayers.
I set an appointment to the luxe Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, frequented by Reese Witherspoon, Laguna Beach starlets, and Hollywood housewives.
Entering the salon, I was surprised by how hip the atmosphere is. I usually associate Beverly Hills salons with stuffy, boring, pretentiousness but this was neither as the vibe was bustling and colorful and the folks were friendly and inviting.

2000 Dodge Dakota Dakarta - Truck Gone ToughWritten by on August 1, 2000 Contributors: Planet R Think The New Dakota Quad Cab Is Neat? You Ain't Seen Nothin'!
For a healthy portion of our readers, Dodge trucks are our daily drivers, our show car tow vehicles, or something to haul the boat to the lake. Fortunately, some folks have the vision and the wherewithal to see beyond the utilitarian nature of the good ol' pickup and put their talents to work at snazzing up the otherwise mundane. Sitting on the top of this heap are the boys at Performance West in Vista, California. Performance West was quick to see what could be done to enhance the already exciting 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab (see our review of the Quad Cab in the July '00 issue of Mopar Muscle). And enhance it they did!
The theme selected for the Dakota build-up was the famed Paris-Dakar-Cairo off-road adventure race, a grueling run that demands optimum performance from both man and machine. OK, so there probably won't be too many of you who plan to throw your hat into this torturous four-wheel drive blowout. Still, it's interesting to see how the right mix of aftermarket components can turn a factory 4x4 into a head-turning street cruiser and an off-highway blaster.
Billing their concept truck as the Dakarta, Performance West began the transformation by fitting the 5.9 liter Magnum V8 with a Kenne Bell-engineered blower package. A 2200 Blowzilla twin screw supercharger sits at the heart of the powertrain upgrade. Delivering six pounds of boost, the blower helps the Magnum engine produce in excess of 350hp, while at the same time improves fuel economy through more efficient combustion. Kenne Bell's Optimizer computer manages the system to deliver immediate supercharger power throughout the rpm range. This, coupled with Kenne Bell's tuned 4 Tube Pulse Divider headers and a K&N low-restriction cat-back exhaust system, gives the V8 significantly more punch than its stock counterparts. A rugged Optima absorbed-glass mat dry battery provides the juice to keep it all in motion. Backing up the engine is an automatic tranny bolstered by a B&M shift improvement kit.
To improve the Dakarta's off-highway capabilities, Performance West installed Alcoa M/T 15x8 alloy wheels fitted with hefty 33x12.5x15-inch General Grabber M/T meats. The taller rolling stock increases axle-to-ground clearance for when the rubber leaves the road. Champion Wheel bead locks allow the driver to "air down" the tires for improved off-highway traction without running the risk of compromising the tire bead.
The functional upgrades do not stop with the drivetrain and suspension. Enclosing the Dakarta is a custom-made exoskeletal roll cage/roof rack manufactured by Dee Zee. These are complimented by a Dee Zee-designed tubular rear bumper, front guard/aluminum skid plate, and side steps. The cage not only protects the chassis, it also serves to carry gear, and offers mounting points for a brace of PIAA racing lamps.
In back, good use is made of the Dakarta's cargo box. The bed is protected by Herculiner's rugged bedliner, and enclosed by a customized canvas soft top made by Can Back. The spare tire is mounted at the back of the box for quick and easy access, and in its original location Performance West mounted a fuel cell. The combination of the rearward-mounted cell and spare tire improves the vehicle's balance. Should the Dakarta get into a bit of trouble in the backcountry (or more likely need to assist another vehicle), a Superwinch is mounted beneath the spare tire, and can be installed onto a Draw-Tite receiver hitch when duty calls.
The Dakarta's racing adventure theme also carries over into a snappy and functional interior scheme. The stock front and rear seats have been replaced with lightweight Recaro full race buckets, with five-point RCI racing harnesses added to keep driver and crew in check while traversing the most rugged terrain. To allow the co-pilot to effectively monitor the operating systems, Auto Meter auxiliary gauges and exterior light switches were mounted in RaceTruck Trends' custom aluminum dash panels, which are accented by a brushed aluminum dash cap by Woodview Automotive Trim. The Grant racing wheel with a quick-release hub continues the functional, yet stylish, competition motif. A Becker global navigation system underscores the Dakarta's adventurous intent.
Naturally, a 4x4 of this caliber begs for a bit of narcissistic flash to accompany its rugged looks. To punch up the vicarious visuals, L&G Custom Paint applied the striking coat of BASF Chrome Yellow paint, made all the more eye-popping with the black-trimmed A&A Specialties custom scooped hood and Explosive Images' vinyl graphics. Johnson window film, RJS racing window nets, and custom electric sport mirrors by RaceTruck Trends round out the Dakarta's styling and functional upgrades.
All right. Maybe the Performance West Dakarta is a bit out there for your everyday work-mobile. But one thing's for sure: That daily commute to the salt mine would sure be an awesome trip!
Shutterbug Special
If you're one of the growing number of independent professionals who, with cell phone and laptop at the ready, find the office to be anything but conducive to taking care of business, then you'll love Performance West's spin on the ever-popular Dodge Ram van. Billed as the Vivitar Photo Support Van, this four-wheeled work station is just the ticket for those who prefer an office with a scenic view.
To better access the backcountry, a Fab Tech Motorsports two-inch suspension lift was added to the underpinning. Add the Alcoa Classic 16x7-inch alloy wheels and hefty 33x12.5x16-inch General Grabber M/Ts, and this Ram is ready to take you to the beach or into the mountains.
Inside, the Vivitar Photo Support van has been turned into a photographer's (or other busy professional's) dream office. RaceTruck Trends got the nod for reworking the cabin and installing the custom display racks (shown here with a selection of Vivitar's photographic equipment arsenal) and the trick work station bedecked with the requisite computer and accessories by Digital West. As with the Dakarta, Woodview Automotive Trim takes credit for the classy brushed aluminum dash cap.
On the outside, the Vivitar van has been modified for both style and function. Go Rhino! custom tubular bumpers and side steps give the vehicle a testosterone jolt, and the Surco roof rack and ladders offer a place to store extra gear and the means to get it. Add the Explosive Image vinyl graphics, Johnson Window Film tinting, and PIAA high-beam racing lamps, and you've got a van that would make any '70s van customizer just a tad envious. Not to mention those of us chained to a cubicle every day!

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Justin Verlander struck out nine over seven
stellar innings of two-hit ball, as the Detroit Tigers pounded the Houston
Astros, 9-0, to complete a four-game sweep Sunday at Minute Maid Park.
Verlander (4-2) worked around a pair of walks and carried a no-hitter into the
seventh before serving up consecutive one-out singles to Carlos Pena and
Carlos Corporan. The right-hander escaped the frame unscathed by inducing an
inning-ending, double-play groundout from Brandon Laird.
Detroit's offense provided Verlander with plenty of run support, as the Tigers
tallied four home runs, with Prince Fielder and Brayan Pena each belting two-
run shots, and Andy Dirks and Omar Infante adding a solo shot apiece.
Fielder finished with four RBI, while Dirks went 4-for-4 with two RBI and
three runs scored for the Tigers, who recorded their first four-game sweep on
the road since taking four straight from the Kansas City Royals from May
22-25, 2006 at Kauffman Stadium.
Houston starter Philip Humber (0-7) was shelled for eight runs on eight hits
and three walks over four frames for the Astros, who have lost six straight
and 10 of their last 11 games.

Comments about Educational Insights Magnetic AlphaBoard:
The Magnetic AlphaBoard playset was a complete hit with Riley! She loved trying to put the letters in alphabetic order and mimicking the sound each one of them makes. She has no idea about math yet, but using this learning tool will make it extremely easy to teach her. It's funny to watch her spell right now, for she will put about 15 letters of all kinds on the board and then come up to me and say, "Look, I just spelled Mommy!" That always makes my day!
I also love how Educational Insights offers a wide selection of additional letters and numbers to use with the AlphaBoard. For instance, I am very interested in purchasing a larger combo tub of letters and numbers or even a smaller tub of numbers, like the MathMagnets Jumbo Multicolored Magnets. The only improvements I would suggest for the Magnetic AlphaBoard is to make the nylon rope handle a little longer, for ours is extremely short and barely comes above the board and also to include a plastic tub of some kind to store the magnetic letters and numbers in. Both of these criticisms are extremely minor though, which is why Riley and I thought that the Magnetic AlphaBoard from Educational Insights TOTALLY ROCKED!

MTV has become the target of Kanye West's wrath because its annual "Hottest MCs in the Game" list.
The Chi-Town rhymer called in to Hot 97's DJ Enuff to discuss MTV's list, on which he placed at #7. Yeezy said he is upset with his placement at the lower end of the list, saying that the decision was influenced more by his personal life than his music. He also vocalized his disappointment in Sway Calloway, saying, "I gave Sway his first TV…and he ain't even remember that."
"Yeah #7 bothers me. I think that Wayne is the #1 rapper in the world…him and Jay and Em and certain people are trust the greatest rappers of all time," he said. "For me, I feel like in order for them to put me at #7, they had to bring up things that they didn't like - [like] the Cruel Summer album. And I'm like, that's a compilation, it ain't all rappers on G.O.O.D. Music…they want to diss me and be like, 'He did Cruel Summer and he can't say he ain't a part of it because he's on eight records'…[their decision is] definitely not based on a body of work."
He continued, "What happens is with these types of judges and people who review this, when you come in [the game], I had the pink polo and the backpack, then I'm checking all the boxes of that A Tribe Called Quest era and J Dilla and all that, so they want to champion it. They don't like Givenchy Kanye, they don't like Kanye in a kilt, they don't like Kanye in a relationship. I don't think it's like them going bar for bar. I said, 'He lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team.' Ain't no bar in the entire past 12 months that's hotter than that bar…I couldn't believe it. I gave Sway his first TV. He came over to my crib in Newark, New Jersey…doing beats with Jay and Beans and all them, I was getting a new TV, and I gave Sway his first TV…and he ain't even remember that."
This isn't the first time that Kanye's been caught ranting in the past month. In addition to targeting the Grammy Awards and Justin Timberlake's single "Suit and Tie," the Louis Vuitton Don recently took aim at major clothing labels, saying "name brands [are] always fighting for your soul."

REGIONALREPORT WesternHollywood plays the quiet game
Publicity is integral in making a movie a hit. But the studio behind the adaptation of a best-selling book that began filming in May in an abandoned mill village near Hildebran is forcing officials to keep quiet. Im unaware of a film called The Hunger Games being shot in the village, says an official of the N.C. Film Office, which is under a nondisclosure agreement with Santa Monica, Calif.-based Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. Do you have another name for it? (Lionsgate has given the movie the code name Artemis during filming.)
Its too early to quantify the economic impact shooting had on the area around Hildebran. Its easier to guess at the concessions the film will receive from the state. The movie has a budget of $75 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. Film productions that spend at least $250,000 in North Carolina get a 25% tax credit, capped at $20 million.
Valdese Economic Development Investment Corp., which serves the Hildebran area, hopes the film will be good advertising for the Henry River mill village, a collection of decrepit buildings in the eastern part of Burke County. What we need is a creative developer to come in and see the towns potential and maybe convert those old buildings into gift shops or something, says a VEDIC official who Lionsgate asked not to speak with the media. The villages decay probably attracted the production considering The Hunger Games is set in a dystopian future (think the opposite of utopian).
At the end of May, production moved to Shelby, taking up residence in vacant warehouses. There, economic benefits were anecdotally available. They used local retail for their props, stayed in local hotels, ate in local restaurants, says Jackie Sibley, Cleveland County director of tourism. Still, security was tight. At one point, I took my cellphone out on set to check messages, and there was panic. They were like that about anything that could take pictures.
The Hunger Games will continue shooting across the state this summer, and it was recently announced that Lionsgate will turn the series by Suzanne Collins its a trilogy into four movies. If so and its multimillion-dollar budget returns, The Hunger Games might be a secret worth keeping.
MARION Ed Hannon resigned after four years as CEO of McDowell Hospital. Board Chairman Norm Guthrie gave no reason other than to say Hannon will pursue other opportunities. Sonya Greck, a consultant with local physician practices who was interim CEO before Hannon was hired, will again take that role.
HENDERSONVILLE Sam Neill, former chairman of the UNC Board of Governors and a two-time Democratic congressional candidate, was disbarred for taking money from a trust fund that was supposed to be distributed to the Community Foundation of Henderson County and Four Seasons Hospice. The State Bureau of Investigation is probing allegations that about $900,000 is missing.
FRANKLIN Mission Health System in Asheville reached an agreement to manage Angel Medical Center. Officials say the agreement will help 59-bed Angel get competitive pricing for medical supplies and services and assist its recruiting, among other advantages. Terms werent disclosed.
OLD FORT Janesville Acoustics, which makes fiber-based heat and sound insulation for the automotive industry, plans a $1.5 million expansion of its plant here. The Southfield, Mich.-based company will add 7,200 square feet and 40 jobs at the factory during the next three years, increasing employment to more than 150.

A look at this week's biggest recalls.
'Diseased' meat forces Nestlé to recall 2 Hot Pocket flavors
Food giant Nestlé has announced a recall of some of its Hot Pocket brand frozen sandwiches because they contain meat from a California-based company that said it used "diseased and unsound" animals.
Rancho Feeding Corporation last week recalled nearly 9 million pounds of meat products after the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the facility processed "diseased and unhealthy animals" without a full federal inspection.
Nestlé said the Hot Pocket flavors being recalled are the Philly Steak and Cheese in three different pack sizes and Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese, in the two-pack box.
Consumers should not eat the product, but instead should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Nestlé Consumer Services at 1-800-392-4057.
Target recalls 191K teething toys for infants
Target is recalling nearly 200,000 infant teething toys sold exclusively at Target stores and online for about $13. The toys, made by Infantino, are a choking hazard. So far the manufacturer has received seven reports of infants choking on the small plastic Squeeze & Teethe Coco the Monkey toys.
10K Kawasaki motorcycles recalls off-road bikes
Kawasaki is recalling about 10,000 off-road motorcycles involving model years 2010, 2011 and 2012 KLX110 and KLX110L. They were sold as recently as January and retailed for about $2,350.

Study Coauthored by Dr. Bradley Aouizerat Reveals Gene Variant Associated with Reduced HIV Transmission
The lead story (basic science category) on the NIDA (National Institute of Drug Abuse) Notes website for March 2016 features a collaborative study by 16 investigators including Dr. Bradley Aouizerat, professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery and deputy director of the Bluestone Center for Clinical Research. The study, "Novel Genetic Locus Implicated for HIV-1 Acquisition with Putative Regulatory Links to HIV Replication and Infectivity: A Genome-Wide Association Study," published March 18, 2015, in PLOS One, identified a gene variant that appears to partially shield people whose behaviors entail high risk for exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from being infected. According to NIDA Notes, the finding could point a way to medications that prevent HIV that has entered the body from establishing infection. READ MORE >>>
Dr. Anna Di Gregorio and Team Uncover Molecular Switches that Turn On Gene Expression During Spine Development
A new study by basic science researchers in the Department of Basic Science and Craniofacial Biology sought to understand how gene expression is initiated in the notochord, the evolutionary and developmental precursor of the backbone. The notochord is an axial structure that provides support and patterning signals essential for development in all chordate embryos, including humans.
"A main challenge of modern biology is to understand how specific constellations of genes are switched on in different cells to give rise to distinct tissues," says lead author Dr. Anna Di Gregorio, associate professor in the Department of Basic Science and Craniofacial Biology at NYUCD.

Bluestone Center for Clinical Research and UCLA Awarded $2.4M from NIH to Study Use of Non-Psychotropic Cannabinoids for Oral Cancer Pain
Chronic pain affects more than 50 million adults in the U.S. Upwards of 9 out of 10 cancer patients suffer from pain, with oral cancer ranked consistently as one of the most painful cancers. This chronic pain management represents a major socioeconomic and clinical challenge because the side effects of existing treatments — mainly prescribing opioids — greatly limit their effectiveness, especially over time.
Dr. Brian Schmidt and Dr. Igor Spigelman will focus on the therapeutic utility of recently developed synthetic cannabinoids which work to relieve the chronic inflammation and neuropathic pain symptoms of oral cancer without "getting high." READ MORE >>>
NYU Study Links Life's Milestones to a Non-Circadian Biological Rhythm in Teeth
The circadian rhythm, or "daily biological clock," controls much of an organism's regular pace of development, and this growth paradigm has been the focus of intense molecular, cellular, pharmacological, and behavioral, research for decades. But then, why do rats mature faster than humans?
"It is impossible to explain enormous variations in age at maturity and other developmental milestones just by looking at differences in this daily rhythm," said Dr. Timothy Bromage, professor of Biomaterials and of Basic Science & Craniofacial Biology at NYU College of Dentistry. "This suggests that another biological timing mechanism is at work." READ MORE >>>

If we were naming our football team today... Clearly no one would even consider a name like Redskins because it would be offensive.
So then why do so many of us Washingtonians hold on so tightly to a name born in a time when few cared about such things?
I've said it before...its probably always a bad idea to name a sports team after living breathing ethnic group even if the intent is honorable.... and lets be real--does the name Redskins really sound like its honoring anyone?
I once had a conversation with a Native American who spoke so passionately about how hurtful that name is...that at the end of it I felt ashamed...like I needed to apologize for even being a fan.
But that was years ago...and like many of you...I put my unease aside to root for the team that I grew up with. And wasn't this past season just a glorious ride?
But that got me to thinking--is it right to have so much fun with something others find so painful?
Look I love the Redskins...and I will miss the name... Traditions die hard.
But at a time when being a Washington football fan just got to be fun again...shouldn't our favorite team have a name that everyone can feel that good about?

Is Aggie Radwanska going to spoil the Williams Wimbledon party? Maybe so.
Aggie completed the demolition of the top four seeds, the first time the in Open Era history the top four fell before the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, by defeating headcase Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4, 1-6, 7-5 in the round of 16 after being down 1-4 in the decider. This win is the Pole's second this year over Sveta in a Grand Slam, having bundled the Russian out of the Aussie Open's third round.
With her crafty + cunning ways on the tennis court and with her confidence on grass at a high after winning in Eastbourne, I'm thinking she may have a shot at taking down Serena Williams.
Am I off my rocker or what?

You're not off your rocker. The women's game needs Aggie to break through here and there's no reason she can't play spoiler. She has the skills to absorb the Williamses' power.ReplyDelete
Definitely in with a chance.... she is striking the ball great, and is riding high with confidence after her win over Kuzie.ReplyDelete
When is this girl going to get a sponsorship though?? She consistently is in the latter stages of tournies, and deserves better than to wear Nike/Adidas seperates.
not off your rocker at all! I love Aggie's poise and smarts on court. But Venus and Serena are starting to look like gals on a mission, so we'll see.ReplyDelete

I'd love to see an upset for the simple fact that all-Williams finals are always boring. I think the Williams sisters are fantastic and exciting players but boy are they dull when they play each other.ReplyDelete
very true their matches usually suck except aussie 03 finalReplyDelete

Looks like you're off your rocker afterall. 6-4 6-0ReplyDelete

Grey Goose is an official sponsor of this year's US Open and have created a sumptuous and tasty cocktail just for the occasion: the HONEY DEUCE.
Here's the recipe:
So if you can't make it out to the year's final major, at least drink like you were there. I know I already have. Enjoy!

I guess Marat substitutes all other ingredients with vodka and just simply drinks a bottle.ReplyDelete
I had this delicious signature cocktail at last year's Open...I still dream about it! :) I'll have to make them at home though this year :(ReplyDelete
