Impact Wrestling Results – 11/15/2012
From Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida
Report by: Alex Barie of WrestlingNewsWorld.com
This week's Impact Wrestling kicks off with a video package from Turning Point this past Sunday. It starts with the Triple Threat Match where James Storm will get a World Title shot while AJ Styles won't for at least one year. It switches to Aces and 8s as Bully Ray saved the day against Mr. Parks while Kurt Angle beat Devon. Finally it shows Jeff Hardy retaining the TNA World Title.
The camera shows the Impact Zone as fireworks explode above the ring and on the entrance stage. We are welcomed. James Storm's music hits and he comes out. He has a huge smile on his face while sunglasses cover his eyes. He gets in the ring and grabs a mic. He starts off by saying that it has been a long road the past year but he did it. He doesn't think this is an acceptance speech, but he wants to say thank you to a few people. He first thanks the fans from the Impact Zone to the fans watching on TV. He thanks his family and then thanks the people who said James Storm couldn't do it. Those are the people who kept this crazy guy going. Now he is #1 contender for the TNA World Title. His moment doesn't last long as Bobby Roode's music plays. James turns and sees The It Factor come down the ramp. He has two beers in his hand. He gets in the ring and grabs a mic. He isn't here to fight or ruin the party. He is here to join it. He brought two beers….one for Roode and one for James. Since James is toasting people, Roode wants to toast too. He toast James who is now #1 contender. James defeated AJ Styles on Sunday and not Roode. James keeps on achieving because of Roode's hard work. He toasts to the James Storm fans around the world because they will have to watch James lose. He also toasts James' wife and little girl because they will have to help him through the depression that he will go through when he loses again. Roode clings the beer bottles and drinks his. James asks if Roode is done and then gives him a hard right hand. James continues the punches. Roode falls down and rolls out of the ring. Roode runs up the ramp. James asks if he really wants to fight. Roode says he is done with him. There isn't anything good to get out of it….unless James Storm puts his #1 contender's spot on the line. James worked too hard to put it up. Roode tells Storm to tell his little girl to call Roode when she turns 18. James slides out of the ring and runs halfway up the ramp. Roode starts to run away. James tells him he doesn't need to run because he accepts the match. They will fight tonight.
We see a trio commentator desk with Taz, Todd and Mike. They talk about AJ Styles losing the match this past Sunday. The show switches to Hulk Hogan who is in his office. He is commentating on the AJ Styles loss. He says it's hard for AJ as he has been in the same spot as he has been for awhile. He won't be able to get a title shot till at least Bound for Glory next year. He hopes AJ can pull out of it.
Video plays showing the horrible attack on Sting from Aces and 8s last week as they put him through a table and then hit him multiple times with a hammer.
Aces and 8s are in their clubhouse. They are sitting around the table. The leader asks if Doc proved himself. He did what he said he was going to do and that was to beat Sting. He did that. The leader isn't too satisfied. He asks for the leather jacket of Doc. Doc hesitates but then takes it off. He slowly hands it to the masked leader. The leader than takes it. Devon turns and tells the leader that they have business to take care of. Devon gets up, grabs a dart and throws it at the board. He says that guy deserves it. Aces and 8s laugh.

He explains how, if you lose, you do not get a title match till at least Bound for Glory 2013. AJ lost. This is the kind of year he had. He was accused of banging Dixie Carter. He was accused of having a baby with a crack head. The worst part is that people didn't think he could do it. AJ was so close in the Bound for Glory tournament. He could have gone to be champion then. There is something to be thankful for though. The holidays are coming up. He has nothing to be thankful for this year. Music hits and here comes Daniels and Kazarian. They come into the ring with their wacky yet catchy theme song. Kaz grabs a mic. In the words of Elvis, AJ is nothing but a hound dog…..crying all of the time. Daniels gets the mic now. He tells AJ that he is right. AJ has not seen the light at the end of the tunnel. He goes and complains, but he needs to look to see. He needs to look in the mirror. It's AJ's fault. He made the decisions he did. He is a broken flawed person. AJ and whine to all of the crazy fans, but he is a failure. Daniels told him that all year. AJ asks if he is really a failure. If you look in the record books, AJ beat Daniels more than Daniels beat AJ. Maybe Daniels needs a reminder. Maybe they have to do this one more time to determine who the better man is. Kaz grabs the mic. He says Daniels has nothing to prove. The problem is, AJ is stale. AJ doesn't know what AJ is about. Kaz and Daniels know what they are about. They are on the top and they are champions. Daniels grabs a mic. He doesn't want to disagree, but he thinks it's right to have AJ Styles vs. Daniels one last time. We will see who the real failure is. "Let's do it," says AJ. Styles' music hits. They are face to face. Kaz pulls Daniels away.
There is a split screen as Roode is walking backstage on the right and James is walking backstage on the left.
Austin Aries is backstage by the room of where the massage takes place. Austin says his favorite thing in school was non-verbal communication. He mentions that Open Fight Night is next week. He knows exactly who to call out. You do not want to miss it.

Alex's Assumptions:
A taped version of Impact Wrestling really doesn't appeal to me anymore. I am not sure about anyone else, but I could definitely tell the difference between the live and taped version just through the opening of the Impact Zone. I certainly hope the two week tapings will not hurt the ratings too much. Anyway, the beginning with James Storm and Bobby Roode was solid. I thoroughly enjoyed it. After seeing that, I thought TNA will roll right off that for a great show. I actually think that was the best segment of the night though. The show wasn't bad at all, but wasn't the best one either. The great thing about TNA is that we don't need to see Jeff Hardy, the champion, in a lot of segments or see Austin Aries wrestle during the show. TNA has so much talent that they don't even need the two main eveners from the PPV. Speaking of talent, I thought about Mr. Anderson and quickly asked where he was. I know he got attacked, but it looks like he can't have any luck with booking in his favor. Tara and Jesse really did not connect with me this week while I was surprised Eric Young was there. He and ODB will always connect though. One thing that I honestly did not like was the Mickie James booking. She returns and already becomes #1 contender. I know she had surgery as I reported here on WNW, but least give it to ODB or someone who has been fighting recently. Let's face it, the Knockout Tag Titles aren't doing anything. On the bright side, the AJ Styles vs. Daniels match is something I am for. There were quite a few people on Twitter that were against it. It's Daniels vs. AJ though. They fought in the past, but their matches are top notch. Saying no to them is saying no to wrestling. I do not mind them fighting at all. Plus, they are involved in a true long story that goes back, honestly, for years. You don't see that much. The last thing I want to bring up is Roode vs. Storm. This was the match of the night, but I honestly did not expect Roode to win. It's quite astonishing. Storm can't get the upper hand. I wouldn't mind Storm vs. Hardy or Roode vs. Hardy but I would much rather see the first. Maybe Triple Threat. We shall see. Thanks for reading and if you want to hear more from me, follow me on Twitter (link below in my bio). I love to interact and to hear your thoughts.

'India's Contribution to the Great War' published by authority of the Government of India in 1923, contains page after page of statistics setting out the human, financial and material cost of the First World War For example - India contributed equipment and stores worth over £80 million to the Allied war effort. That figure was the amount they contributed then hard to calculate its relative value today but here is another statistic: In the context of Britain: £100 in 1917 would be worth £34,000 today. This is estimated using the share of GDP as an indicator. GDP, the economy's total output of goods and services in money terms, is the best measure of relative value for large-scale projects or expenditures, such as government expenditure on defence. There are detailed records listing exactly what these supplies were: In terms of direct monetary contribution India gave: £146.2 million from its revenues up until 1920 An initial offer of a lump sum of £100 million was made in 1917. Three quarters of this was raised by war loans or bonds and the rest by the Government of India. A government may issue war bonds for the purpose of financing military operations. The yield is generally very small - so, for example, if a bond matures in 10 years someone may only expect as little as 2% return. To buy a war bond was seen as an act of patriotism. This letter and postcard from 1918 bear stamps, in Urdu on the postcard, entreating people to buy war loans. Back to top ^

Humbling moments often come when you least expect them. In the case of Bill Cawley, one such experience happened a few months back. He was showing some office space to a Dallas tenant rep and, as introductions were being made, the youngish broker paused to think. "Cawley Partners," he said. "Yeah … I think I've heard of you guys."
It wasn't the kind of reception Cawley was used to. At one time, the 58-year-old was big man on campus in Dallas real estate, with a thriving brokerage operation and millions of square feet of office developments.
The broker's comments made Cawley realize just how low-profile he had become. His decision in the mid-2000s to "check out" of the business for a while had worked … a little too well. Today—sensing big opportunities in the market, and with his competitive nature reignited—he's jumping back into the game. But in commercial real estate, it's not just about who you know, but who knows you.
The good news is, it shouldn't take long for people to get acquainted, or reacquainted, with the Cawley brand. The real estate exec is aggressively lining up office acquisitions, aiming to add 2 million square feet to the 1 million he already owns. Perhaps even more significant, Cawley has relaunched his leasing and management business.
"It just feels right to get going again," he says. "The economy is taking off, and I have never felt more confident in my ability to gauge risk and see opportunity."
Growing up in a small town south of Chicago, Cawley always knew he wanted to work in real estate someday, just like his dad. At 15, he lied about his age to get his first job. After college, he went to work at his father's firm. He had married at 19 and already had two young children. Neither the job nor the marriage lasted very long, though, and in 1982, Cawley moved to the real estate mecca of Dallas, seeking a fresh start.
Unable to interest one of the big brokerage firms—they were all recruiting Harvard MBAs and IBM professionals at the time—he took a job selling condominiums. Cawley quickly became the company's top producer, even selling a condo to a "mystery shopper" who had been hired by the firm to help evaluate its sales force.
He went on to work for the Bass family in Fort Worth, then in 1993 launched his own commercial real estate firm, Cawley Associates. Within a year, business was booming. Cawley began to expand, opening offices in California and other markets. And in 1995 he bought Wilcox Cos. from Ray Hunt—a move that allowed him to get into development. Cawley once called it "a case of the minnow eating the whale."
Not long after, the commercial real estate market in Dallas began to tank. But Cawley would soon confront an even bigger challenge: a horrific accident that nearly cost him his life.
It was July 5, 1997. Cawley was on a guys' trip to Colorado, trying out a new motorcycle. He became separated from his riding buddies and tried to pass a car on a two-lane road near Aspen. A dangerous game of chicken ensued. Slamming on the brakes to avoid an oncoming car, Cawley was flung over a 30-foot cliff. The impact crushed his right leg and both of his arms. No one stopped to help.
Determined to survive, but unsure that he would, Cawley used his one good leg to slowly thrash his way back up to the road. He was discovered by his friends and flown to a hospital where he went into surgery—for 19 hours.The recovery was slow and difficult, a yearlong process that involved nine more surgeries. Always fiercely independent, Cawley had to learn to depend on others for help, at home and at work. Once a very top-down company, Cawley-Wilcox became much more flat, with other executives stepping up to oversee various parts of the business.
By the early 2000s, things were really taking off. Cawley had a number of new development projects under way, including the 1.1 million-square-foot JPMorgan International Plaza along the Dallas North Tollway. Former CBRE exec Ran Holman joined the company as president, to run the brokerage group.
"In my 25 years in commercial real estate, I have not seen a better salesman," says Holman, who now oversees North Texas operations for Hines. "Bill and I had a lot of success together. Some of the best times were on the road, making three or four pitches a day. It got to where we could finish each other's sentences. Occasionally, I would throw in some big words, and he would counter by changing his storytelling to throw me off my cadence.
"We won more than our fair share, and I think a lot of that was because of chemistry and Bill's innate closing ability," Holman says. "He's a guy who doesn't take his eyes off the ball. If you believe this business is art and science, Bill hangs out on the art side."
Learning to Let Go
As time went on, however, Cawley became less enamored with work, especially on the brokerage side. The accident had changed him. He was no longer consumed with business. He "way over-married" in 1999, and wanted to spend more time at his Willow Bend home with Keely and their twins, Hunter and Kailee, who were born in 2003.
There were other conflicts.
"Bill is a natural leader, but not a natural manager, which is not atypical for a salesman," Holman says. "The challenges that he faced as his company grew stemmed from him being a player and a coach. I believe it was hard for him to let go of either role, as he was always his own top producer."
When Holman left the company in 2007, Cawley says it was a wake-up call.
"I had watched others stay with their companies too long and become a little bitter," he says. "My business stopped growing because I wasn't focused on it. When Ran left, I realized it was time to sell the business. If I didn't, it was going to die."
He sold his brokerage company in 2008 to two of his top execs, John Conger and Tom Sutherland, who now operate their company as CASE Commercial Real Estate Partners. Cawley focused on his personal life and investments, most of which were in other markets.
Today he's targeting opportunistic buys in Dallas and throughout Texas. First up is One Hanover, a 200,000-square-foot office building off the tollway—and, ironically, Cawley's first development project. The deal should close in September; three or four other acquisitions are in the works.
==="In my 25 years in commercial real estate, I have not seen a better salesman," says Holman.!==
Cawley is exclusively targeting office assets of about 150,000 square feet and 50 percent leased. "I got somewhat sidetracked in the last cycle, where I invested in several other asset classes," he says. "But when there was a problem, I didn't have the answer. I decided I was never going to put myself in that position again. With an office building, I know what to do and how to do it. So today, I am buying office buildings—and that's it."
He's also looking for a development site in Fort Worth—he still owns Wilcox Development—and is ramping up Cawley Partners, his brokerage concern. The group now leases and manages Cawley's holdings—assets that were previously handled by CASE—and will take third-party work on, too.
"CASE was doing a great job, but I wanted to be more involved with the tenants, and I felt the only way to do that was to get back into the management and leasing business," Cawley says. "I also think we're pretty good at it."
He had to wait until his non-compete with CASE expired, and says he gave Conger and company a year's notice. "It hurts them," Cawley acknowledges, "but I think John understands why I'm doing it. Not everything has been smooth, but everything has been rational. We've worked to maintain our relationship; we really care about each other. He didn't like it, but he understood it."
Cawley says he intends to keep his revived organization "lean and flat." He has about a dozen employees—including Brian Neitzel, who serves as president, and longtime Cawley colleague Todd Ashbrook, chief operating officer. He's also working on visibility.
"Getting out there and letting people know what we're doing and what we're about will help attract talent," Cawley says. "The main thing for me is, I'm just grateful. Dallas has a great business climate. I'm grateful to be healthy and excited about where we're headed. It's fun again."

Ever since the conception of the two enigmatic characters, Groot in 1960 and Rocket in 1976, fans of the comic "Guardians of the Galaxy" have always fantasized in their minds just how these two sounded. On Monday, May 19 Marvel has released a second trailer to this upcoming summer's "Guardians of the Galaxy" live-action film which included snip bits of dialogue from Bradley Cooper's Rocket and Vin Diesel's Groot.
This second trailer keeps the same tone as the first one, demonstrating the film's potential to be a wacky action comedy with a ridiculous ensemble of unlikely heroes. We saw hints of a romance between Starlord (Chris Pratt) and Gamora (Zoe Saldana), and were teased that Starlord's helmet can disintegrate at will. But the biggest takeaway from this second trailer was hearing the more obscure heroes, Drax the destroyer (Dave Bautista), Groot and Rocket deliver lines of dialogue.
Directed by James Gunn, "Guardians of the Galaxy" will be landing in theaters August 1, 2014 in the United States.

Today's Torah Devotional from Leviticus 4:27 - 5:26
The Third Book of the Torah, "Vayikra," "And HE Called."
This weeks reading is, "Vayikra," "And HE Called"
These scriptures today follow along the same instructions GOD has given Moses/Moshe concerning the inadvertent sins committed and their acceptable sacrifice for atonement.
The first scripture makes a way for the commoner, or the stranger who may not know of the instructions of GOD, yet. Key word being, yet.
Once they are aware of their transgression, there is a way for them to make atonement.
GOD is very specific with the manner and type of sacrifice(s) HE deems appropriate for these sins, even for the "commoner."
Just like HIS instructions for these sins among HIS own people, HE has made concessions for everyone from the wealthiest to the poorest in order that all be allowed atonement regardless of their financial-economic or social status.
Another side of GOD we see in these scriptures is HIS Grace and HIS Mercy. HE is making a way for HIS people through sacrifice to be forgiven their sins.
HIS Grace and Mercy obviously also extends to those who do not yet know HIS instructions.
This is the All Sufficient GOD of Israel, who welcomes anyone into atonement and forgiveness through HIS instruction.
These instructions, while very detailed and exact, are meant to give us the hope of accomplishing HIS instructions while creating the means for forgiveness if we should fall short.
We also read instructions of restitution should we conduct ourselves in a manner unbefitting one of HIS people.
If we are bound by an oath to give evidence in court, we are to do so honestly and completely, witnessing everything we saw or knew.
If we touch anything unclean and commit a violation by forgetting we are unclean, we must make restitution unto GOD.
Verbal oaths, no matter what is expressed, should we forget or misrepresent ourselves or not carry through on that oath, we must confess that sin and bring a guilt offering before GOD for atonement.
Again, GOD makes an offering available to everyone regardless of social-economic status.
These instructions HE is giving make it clear HE is concerned with our best behavior and well being.
HE desires HIS people follow a different standard, a higher standard. We are HIS people, representing our GOD at all times, not just on our Holy Days in our Holy Places.
Making these sacrifices today is literally impossible since we have no levitical lineage in service to the Temple where these instructions could be carried out as GOD commanded.
Does that give us permission to no longer sacrifice unto GOD?
Does that give us an "out" that we no longer uphold these commandments?
Do we believe we are no longer obligated to uphold these standards simply because there is now no retribution?
How do we profess to serve the GOD of Israel without believing we have a different standard to maintain?
How can we be a light unto the darkness of this World, if we act, walk, talk and speak just like the World?
Aren't we then just as dark as they?
There is an old adage, "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck."
Do we look like GOD's people or are we quacking like the rest of the World?
What are your thoughts regarding these scriptures?

Glacial Ridge Hospital, Tyler Healthcare Center/Avera, and Valley Community Health Center share their experience with meeting privacy and security requirements for meaningful use
Glacial Ridge Hospital staff take a break to celebrate their continual progress toward meaningful use.
Most of the privacy and security requirements for meaningful use are common sense from an IS perspective—systems need to be as secure as possible and information access is limited to only what people need.
"Nothing about HIPAA is a surprise, nothing about privacy and security is a surprise," said Sharon Ericson, Valley Community Health Center (VCHC) CEO, a federally qualified health center (FQHC) in Northwood, North Dakota. "Having an electronic health record makes you think about how effective you are at it all. If privacy and security didn't work well before, meaningful use helps you ramp up. It's a wake-up call to all of us on what we should be doing."
Through telephone meetings with its REACH HIT field consultant over the course of three weeks, VCHC reviewed the REACH privacy and security checklist. "We have anywhere from 15 to 25 policies for HIPAA privacy and another 15 to 25 for HIPAA security. It takes time to weed through it all. Now we have our laundry list and we know what to do," said Stacey Jacobson, VCHC clinical coordinator. "The new steps are not difficult. We just need to make the time to do them."
VCHC needed to change the wording on some of its documents and add a few new policies. It is improving some procedures, such as checking security logs, checking backup tapes, and checking on why some data are not backed up.
Glacial Ridge Hospital used the Privacy and Security eBox learning tool from REACH to develop comprehensive HIPAA security and privacy policies. "From what we have seen, most sites only have three policies written on this topic, so it was a
lot of work to get where we needed to be," said Heidi Engle, CIO, Glacial Ridge. To help with this, the hospital incorporated weekly calls with its REACH HIT consultant and peers.
With direction from its REACH HIT consultant, Tyler Healthcare Center/Avera, Tyler, Minnesota, established a privacy and security committee that is working to complete a security risk analysis by gathering current policies and reviewing them to see what needs to be revised or added. The REACH privacy and security checklist helped them prioritize. "There's so much information. You can get overwhelmed and not know what to focus on," said Rhonda Newton, information technology director at Tyler Healthcare Center.
The HITECH Act has a lot of policies geared toward natural disasters and how to get back up and running. Tyler Healthcare Center started its 90-day attestation period on July 1 - the same day a tornado came through town. "Although it caused
no major damage, it could have been a huge problem. It really reinforced that we need to get everything in place," said Newton.
Valley Community Health Center invited its REACH HIT field consultant out to talk to the entire staff on meaningful use. "We used that as an opportunity to launch our privacy and security changes, refocusing everything on what we need to be doing and why we need to worry about privacy and security," said Ericson. "The real challenge is getting people to do it."
Some physicians raise concerns that an EHR system creates an environment where people can access information inappropriately. EHRs may increase ease of access, but HIPAA isn't new. Unlike with paper files, where there's no knowing who accessed information, an EHR logs who accesses a record. And some hospital employees are finding out that health care providers take patient privacy and security very seriously. In May, Allina Hospitals & Clinics, Minneapolis, terminated 28 employees for inappropriately accessing patient information, and in February, a hospital in Iowa City terminated three employees.
The work of privacy and security is never complete; it just continues to evolve. "No matter how secure we think our systems are, there are things we can do better, and we need to keep up with the pace of technology," said Newton.
- Use the REACH privacy and security checklist. Start early—it can take a long time to go through.
- Establish
a privacy and security committee to review current policies.
- Participate in REACH user group calls to touch base with other people who use the same EHR software to ask questions and discuss issues.
- Use sample policies and procedures provided by REACH.
- Educate staff on the reasons behind the privacy and security policies and procedures.
Glacial Ridge Health System consists of a 19-bed Critical Access, trauma hospital in Glenwood, Minnesota within Pope County, with clinics in Brooten and Glenwood.
Tyler Healthcare Center consists of a critical access hospital, clinic, long term care facility, home care and ambulatory services, with two physicians and one PA. Tyler is affiliated with the Avera Health System, receiving various mobile services, but is on a separate EHR system. Tyler is currently focused on its hospital EHR and will be implementing the clinic EHR at the end of the calendar year.
Valley Community Health Center has the equivalent of 3.6 full-time providers - part-time physicians, nurse practitioners and a certified nurse midwife - who serve about 3,900 patients at two locations. Last year, VCHC went live with its practice management system and this April, it went live with its first EHR.

Kenneth Branagh, best known for bringing some of the Bard's greatest classics to the big screen, makes his foray into the espionage thriller genre with "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit."
The 52-year-old filmmaker first came onboard as the director of the action-packed spy movie, which centers on a young financial genius and military hero who is recruited by the CIA to protect America's interests. The character is based on Tom Clancy's long-running fictional spy hero, which has been the basis for three other movies over the past three decades.
"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" isn't based on a specific Clancy novel, but draws from many of his yarns to tell an origins story.
Chris Pine, of "Star Trek" fame, already was on board with the project to play the cerebral spy when Branagh was tapped to direct. A few months after coming on board as director, the filmmaker also agreed to play the film's villain, Viktor Cherevin, a powerful Russian banker on a mission to bring down the American financial system. It's up to Jack Ryan and his handler William Harper (Kevin Costner) to stop him.
Branagh recently spoke at a press conference about directing his first spy thriller spectacle, complete with car chases and explosions, playing an evil Russian and taking over a prestigious film franchise.
Q: What were the pleasures and challenges of bringing Jack Ryan into 2014? What intrinsic parts of a character make doing that a pleasure and worth doing at the same time?
Branagh: I loved the previous pictures and the books. I like the Cold War era and the big sort of elemental standoff between, in this case, Russia and America, east and west, old empires and new empires. One of the exciting things about trying to reimagine (Jack Ryan) was finding a world (in which to tell the story). So the interconnectivity of the financial markets was one that was both interesting and a bit of a brainteaser for me. Chris (Pine) was very good at understanding it, thank God. To be able to put Jack Ryan there at a time when it was a different kind of elemental face off between Russia and America, and where one tiny event in one part of the world can so dramatically and catastrophically influence a larger event elsewhere with that same sort of good principled moral conscious man in a very much dirtier world was pretty interesting. It was a huge pleasure to work with these (Pine and Kevin Costner). Watching them think and deal with it in a layered way the human dimension of the story as portrayed by (them) was a huge pleasure for me in trying to make the movie.
Q: Can you talk a little bit about speaking with a Russian accent in this?
Branagh: A long time in advance I started to listen to Russian television, Russian radio. I had a dialect coach who just introduced me to the just the sound of the language. I wasn't really familiar with all its varieties, its tone is a bit different, with a little less range, and then I learned it phonetically while walking the dog. The dog in the next Jack Ryan film, if there is one, will be my dog, which can now speak Russian. So I'm looking forward to seeing her in that.
Q: You're an English actor playing a Russian banker matching wits against an American spy. What did you pay attention to most to make this film?
Branagh: I remember seeing "The Hunt for Red October," when I did my second movie (1991's "Dead Again"), which was a thriller for Paramount, and which ("Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit's") Mace (Neufeld) was behind, as he was all of them. When this came along, it was a combination of things. I knew that Chris (Pine) was involved and I very much wanted to work with him. I very much admired him as well as (producers) Mace and Lorenzo (di Bonaventura), their track record, and the chance to make a film like this—where a man passes information to another man in a cinema, and where two men meet on a bench at night in Moscow and talk about the fate of the world, while a dog is distracting people from thinking that they're doing anything nefarious, and making an action-thriller while with working with great actors.
Q: Kevin's character serves as a mentor to Chris' Jack Ryan. Is it important to have mentors in movies like this?
Branagh: If there's openness of communication, then the timing doesn't really matter, and sometimes the mentoring doesn't really happen directly, it just happens intuitively. I certainly found that out working with Kevin on this. I was so grateful to have a master director on the set. There was just lots of moments where we just shared communication about things. We had a conversation about how a moment in a scene might go or how things might be approached that came out of an honest collaboration. If that honesty of communication exists, whether it's 1984 or 2014, I think it's quite marvelous, and watching these (Pine and Costner) was great as well. When people trust each other and when they're very good at what they do, and when their egos are at the service of the better idea, and what is right for the scene, and when you see that kind of generosity at work, it really is a thrilling thing to be part of. That cuts across age. It doesn't need to be older/younger, because I learn a lot from people much younger than me as well as people much older than me. I think it's about honesty and generosity. We were lucky to be in an atmosphere on this project where that was at work.
Q: Who was your mentor?
Branagh: Hugh Cruttwell, who was the principal of (the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts). For the first six or seven pictures I made, he was on the set as the acting coach, and I'll give you a quick example of what he did for me. He was a very eccentric English guy. When we were making "Hamlet," I was doing the "To be or not to be" soliloquy, and I was very nervous. I said to him, "Look, this is the acting Olympics, Hugh. I'm doing the most famous speech in Western dramatic literature. If you have any notes for me, I'd like them very early on, please." I did take one, and asked him, "How was that?" He said, "I don't have anything to say." I did take two and then take three. He still didn't have anything to say. I said, "Look, I think I'm getting there. Now I'm going to call this a print very shortly." He said, "I think you should do another one." So we get to take six and I said, "Hugh, I think we might have it. Do you have anything to say?" And he said, "Well, the rhythm of it absolutely, absolutely extraordinary. The understanding of the language—fantastic. The pacing of it—marvelous. The timing of it—really extraordinary." So I said, "What's the problem?" He said, "I simply don't believe a word you say. You have absolutely no sense of the man. It's phony. It's fake. It's acting. It's showing off. You really have to do another one." That honesty was helpful, so Hugh Cruttwell was my greatest mentor.

African Union, AU leaders recently voted to grant immunity to sitting colleagues from prosecution for crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, by the proposed African Court of Justice and Human Rights, ACJHR, in a decision that has only come to light, news agencies reported on July 2, 2014.
Rising from the 23rd Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea on June 27, 2014, they decided that the court, which was formally created by the African Union six years ago, will have no power to hear cases against sitting leaders and senior officials. The leaders also expanded ACJHR's scope from a civil tribunal for hearing human rights complaints to a full-fledged criminal court with authority to deal with serious matters such as genocide, crimes against humanity and piracy.
Article 46A bis of the Protocol on Amendments to the Protocol on the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights provides as follows: "No charges shall be commenced or continued before the Court against any serving African Union Head of State or Government, or anybody acting or entitled to act in such capacity, or other senior State officials based on their functions, during their tenure of office."
Observers suggest that the decision to broaden the court's authority is linked to complaints by several African leaders that the International Criminal Court, ICC in The Hague, The Netherlands, which deals with similar crimes, was singling out Africans as targets for prosecution. Currently, two sitting Presidents face prosecution at the ICC for crimes against humanity and other crimes. Kenya's President, Uhuru Kenyatta - alongside his deputy, William Rutu - is accused of involvement in the 2007 post-election violence in his country; while Sudanese leader, Omar al-Bashir, is accused of crimes against humanity in the Darfur region.
Proponents of the immunity provision argue that "guaranteed immunity for Presidents and senior officials might actually encourage African States to engage more enthusiastically with the new court and to abide by its rulings." On the other hand, its opponents say immunity will insulate those most responsible for international crimes as well as those in the best position to prevent them.

Recently a quote from Mahatma Gandhi came up into my Facebook feed: "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear." That most aptly describes the problem in Yoruba Richen's documentary "The New Black." Airing on PBS Independent Lens on 15 June 2014 and currently available for instant streaming, the movie, "The New Black," isn't to be confused with the Netflix original series, "Orange Is the New Black" although it does touch on issues of gay rights.
"The New Black" is about the black community grappling with the issue of the gay marriage movement while continuing its fight over civil rights. If you think that this is simply a black issue, it is not. Similar problems can be seen in other communities. It's as if minority groups believe that only one issue can define them and take their attention at a time.
Asian Americans saw similar problems when men and women pushing feminist issues were deemed as traitors to the cause or possibly even selling out their race and becoming too white. Instead of being united by a common enemy (racial prejudice), Asian Americans were divided by fear--men afraid of losing their elevated status to women and fear of change.
In "The New Black" the fear is at once familiar--homophobia--and unfamiliar, the issue of African American self-image but not in New York City or South Central Los Angeles. The documentary follows the fight for marriage equality in Maryland. The characters aren't familiar faces. We don't see Jessie Jackson or some famous rapper. Instead we have people like the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition Sharon Lettman-Hicks.
The voice of New York isn't totally ignored; the documentary includes a field organizer for the Equality Maryland and The Human Rights Campaign, Karess Taylor-Hughes from Long Island, New York.
There's a voice from the West Coast as well in San Diego, CA-born gospel singer Anthony Charles Williams II.
Yet this is really about Maryland and so we hear from Reverend Delman Coates, the pastor at the Mount Ennon Baptist Church in Clinton, Maryland as well as the Pastor Derek McCoy who serves as the president of the Maryland Family Alliance and Maryland Family Council. McCoy is based in Beltsville, Maryland as the associate pastor of Hope Christian Church.
Then there's Samantha Master, a 25-year-old student at Morgan State University in Baltimore. She volunteered for Equality Maryland and believes that marriage equality is the first step for Black LGBT.
Why has marriage, at a time when so many people just co-habit instead making it legal, has become such as issue is hard for me to understand, but perhaps that's because I've never seen marriage as a political tool or institution. One forgets that in amongst the upper classes it always was a political consideration.
"The New Black" doesn't compare the marriage equality civil rights movement to the previous marriage and yet does leave the non-Christian Black community out in the cold yet the director didn't originally intend to film in Maryland at all. The focus is Christian black and LGBT black in Maryland because Maryland is 30 percent black and the main opposition to the marriage equality movement in Maryland was a Black minister.
"The New Black" isn't about just any community; it is specific to Maryland, but there are many universals. You'd think ministers would be rejoicing that in this day of sexual freedom, casual hookups and casual serial cohabitation, they'd rejoice that someone wants to marry and is willing to fight for the right. It should make heterosexual couples better appreciate their right to marry and heterosexual and gay couples may find that the new black is actually the traditional wedding white.
"The New Black" broadcast on PBS earlier in June 2014, but is currently available VoD on the PBS website.

Kansas, Missouri gas prices falling, still higher than a year ago
Gas prices for both Kansas and Missouri have fallen in the past week, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have fallen 4.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.50 per gallon on Sunday. For Missouri, average retail gasoline prices have fallen about 7.1 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.44 per gallon.
RELATED: Check gas prices around the Kansas CIty metro
The prices compare with the national average that has fallen 2.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.65 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Kansas during the past week, prices on Sunday were 15 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 2.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. For Missouri, prices are almost 22 cents per gallon higher than a year ago and 3.6 cents higher than a month ago.
The national average has decreased 0.7 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 17.5 cents per gallon higher than one year ago.
"The national average has started a nice downward trend, even as motorists were hitting the road for July 4," said GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan.
"Yes, gas prices were some of the highest July 4 prices we've seen since 2008, they drifted downward in many communities as the holiday approached. Over the last week, the national average has fallen almost 4 cents per gallon - a trend that could continue with an absence of hurricanes or disruptions from Iraq. Gas prices over the next few weeks could fall more than 10 cents per gallon should the aforementioned situations remain quiet, which is most welcome as the peak of the summer driving season comes into focus," DeHaan said.

The Finger Lakes Chorale, a choral group based at Finger Lakes Community College, will mark its 40th anniversary with a performance of Handel's oratorio "Solomon" on April 30 and May 1.
The Chorale, directed by Dennis Maxfield, also an adjunct faculty member at FLCC, will be accompanied by orchestra, organ and harpsichord.
Performances are 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 30, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 1, at St. John's Episcopal Church, 183 N. Main St. in Canandaigua. The performances are free and open to the public. Donations will be accepted for the Dr. A. John Walker Music Award for Finger Lakes Community College music students.
The Finger Lakes Chorale was founded in a Canandaigua storefront in 1971 by David Honness. The following year, Dr. A. John Walker, professor emeritus, became the director and led the Chorale for nearly 30 years.
Under his leadership, the Chorale traveled twice to Europe to perform. The ensemble also sang with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and provided backup vocals for Barry Manilow. In 1982, Renee Fleming, who would later become a world-renowned opera star, sang Brahms' "German Requiem" with the Chorale. At the time, she was attending the Eastman School of Music for her graduate work.
Nels Carr of Canandaigua has sung with the Finger Lakes Chorale for 31 years. He says that being with the group has been a great and enriching experience. "It's an outlet for my musical longings. I sang in high school, but then I started a family and was working so I wasn't actively involved in singing. One day I saw an ad in the paper for a singing group, so I joined. Singing with the Chorale has exposed me to music I wouldn't have otherwise been, especially the classics."
In celebration of 40 years of performing, the Chorale will sing Handel's "Solomon," one of his two oratorios written for two choruses and an orchestra. Handel wrote the classic in 1748 using some dramatic license in telling three biblical stories based on Solomon's life.
Along with the Chorale, the Finger Lakes Camerata will sing to the sounds a 22-piece orchestra comprised of musicians from Rochester and the Finger Lakes area.
Dennis Maxfield took over direction of the Chorale in 2004. Carr describes Maxfield as easy to work with and says that, with Maxfield's musical expertise, the Chorale has blossomed. "When he works with us, he gets the most out of us and we have fun at the same time," Carr says.
Carr recalls memories of the Chorale and Camerata, a separate, smaller vocal group comprised of semi-professional singers from the area. "In the early years, the audience started out small. During a concert, someone in the group would count how many people were in the audience. There would be maybe 20 people. Today more than 400 attend our holiday concerts. It's standing room only."
The ensembles have performed at various area venues: Constellation Brands Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center, Granger Homestead, Geneva-on-the-Lake and the Sodus Point Lighthouse, just to name a few.
"One year we sang music from the '60s and '70s at the shell (CMAC) and the East Bloomfield Congregational Church," remembers Carr. "The people were dancing in the aisle. It was a fantastic experience to look out and see it."
In the past 40 years, more than 1,500 people have been members of the Chorale. The Chorale size has ranged from 50 to 130 members, depending on the time of year. Singers have come from up to five counties and numerous cities, towns and villages in the area.
"Several people met their spouses while singing in the Camerata," chuckles Carr. "The camaraderie is great. I've met lots of nice people and gotten to know some of their families. I have friendships that will stay with me forever."
For more information, contact Dennis Maxfield at (585) 396-0027 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Facebook users can search for the Chorale under "FLCC Chorale."

Oct 7th is Bike or Walk to School Day
Submitted by 303admin on
Mark your calendar and tell your kids that Oct 7th is International Walk & Bike to School Day. Start now! Make a plan and ride with your child to school and for the more ambitious parent, organize a "bike train". A bike train is when you select route where you ride to school and slowly pick up other kids who might not have a parent who can ride with them and by the time you have reached the school you might have as many as 20 kids riding in this train with you. Today at Heatherwood Elementary I saw 1 train that was at least 15 kids long with a few parents in it. And if your excuse is that it's too dangerous to ride with your child to school then maybe it's time you contacted your school district on getting a Safe Routes to Schools grant going.

Jason Craft might not have been blindsided by his Tuesday release from the New Orleans Saints. That might put him in the minority, though.
The assumption here was that if any cornerback was released because of his performance this season, it would be Jason David, the 2007 free agent signee who seems to have fallen off the depth chart. In the first two games this season David barely had played a defensive snap for New Orleans, having been beaten out at left cornerback by rookie Tracy Porter as a starter.
When Randall Gay couldn't start at right cornerback against Washington on Sunday, Saints defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs turned to Aaron Glenn. Craft and Usama Young, returning from a hamstring injury, were the options when the Saints used multiple corners; David didn't touch the field on defense, or barely did, until Glenn's injury in the second half necessitated David's inclusion.
And yet, with Glenn hobbled by an injured ankle and Coach Sean Payton still not knowing whether Mike McKenzie, who has been inactive the first two games, can hold up for a quarter, half or game, Craft was sent packing.
Now, the Saints do have the option of resigning Craft, who also plays special teams. He even could rejoin the team before it plays Denver on Sunday. And we're never privy to everything that happens behind the scenes with a team; Payton, if inclined or unless prevented by NFL rules, will offer more details on the move later today.
But it just seems odd that Craft was let go, however briefly if the move turns out not to be permanent, rather than a player who was behind him on the depth chart.
Craft might have been expecting it. I definitely wasn't.
Houston, we have a small problem compared to New Orleans
With all the dust settled and almost all of the destruction identified as a result of Hurricane Ike, chances are the Houston Texans have had a chance to sit back and realize how fortunate they are. If not, they should call the Saints.
The Texans, because of damage caused to Reliant Stadium by Ike, might have to play a home game or two away from their home facility. The retractable roof was damaged by high winds, as were many homes and businesses in Houston and in Texas, and the Texans are considering playing their next home game at Rice Stadium, which obviously wasn't pounded to the point it couldn't be used.
But so far there hasn't been talk of moving all of Houston's games away from the city or even out of Reliant Stadium for the remainder of the season. And however uncomfortable it might be for the Texans to go to Rice on Oct. 5 - or somewhere else in Houston for their games, if another facility can accommodate their needs - it's still a blessing when all the possibilities are considered.
Hurricane Katrina sliced off parts of the Superdome roof (and New Orleanians who used the building as a refuge of last resort did a number on the inside) and blew the Saints to San Antonio for the 2005 season. The combination of what happened on the field (where the Saints finished 3-13) and off it might qualify it as the worst in franchise history.
The Texans, from all accounts, aren't going to have to withstand a trial nearly as taxing.
That doesn't make it peaches and cream in Houston and Texas. Lives and homes were lost and from a city and metro area that has become too familiar with devastating loss, we certainly don't overlook the human element and the things that really are important at a time like this.
But comparatively speaking, the storm wasn't as destructive. Ike didn't as viciously tear apart the city and for the Texans, it didn't similarly tear apart their facility.
Hopefully, the franchise realizes how fortunate it is. If not, all it needs to do is place a phone call.

The central ceremonies, in the evening and the following morning, are held at Yad Vashem and are broadcast on the television. Marking the start of the day - in the presence of the President of the State of Israel and the Prime Minister, dignitaries, survivors, children of survivors and their families, gather together with the general public to take part in the memorial ceremony at Yad Vashem in which six torches, representing the six million murdered Jews, are lit.
The following morning, the ceremony at Yad Vashem begins with the sounding of a siren for two minutes throughout the entire country. For the duration of the sounding, work is halted, people walking in the streets stop, cars pull off to the side of the road and everybody stands at silent attention in reverence to the victims of the Holocaust. Afterward, the focus of the ceremony at Yad Vashem is the laying of wreaths at the foot of the six torches, by dignitaries and the representatives of survivor groups and institutions. Other sites of remembrance in Israel, such as the Ghetto Fighters' Kibbutz and Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, also host memorial ceremonies, as do schools, military bases, municipalities and places of work.
Central theme for this year: Defiance and Rebellion during the Holocaust: 70 Years Since the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising began on the first night of Passover, 19 April 1943. By that time, 50,000 Jews were left in the ghetto following mass death by disease and starvation and the deportation of 265,000 men, women and children to Treblinka. Alongside the members of two underground networks (the Jewish Combat Organization and the Jewish Military Union), all of the surviving Jews in the ghetto resisted the enemy in order to defy their murderers, although they knew they had little chance of survival. They fought with utmost courage and resolve, with little means and no outside support, fighting the Nazis for almost a month, until they were brutally suppressed.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising became a universal symbol of the heroic struggle by a handful of people in impossible conditions against genocidal oppression.
Yisrael Gutman was born in Warsaw in 1923. His parents and older sister perished in the ghetto, and his younger sister was a member of Janusz Korczak's orphanage. As a member of the Jewish Underground in the Warsaw ghetto, Yisrael Gutman was wounded in the uprising. After the war he helped in the rehabilitation of survivors, was active in the Bericha movement, and immigrated to Palestine in 1946. A world-renowned scholar of Holocaust studies, Prof. Gutman has dedicated his life to studying the Holocaust and perpetuating its lessons for the next generations.
"Unto Every Person There is a Name"
Six million Jews, among them 1.5 million children, were murdered in the Shoah while the world remained silent. The worldwide Holocaust memorial project "Unto Every Person There is a Name" is a unique project designed to perpetuate their memory as individuals and restore their identity and dignity, through the public recitation of their names on Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day. By personalizing the individual tragedies of the Jewish victims of Nazi Germany and its collaborators, this project counters persistent efforts by enemies of the State of Israel and the Jewish people to deny the reality of the Holocaust and cast it as history's seminal hoax.
"Everyone has a name" - Poem by Zelda[translated from Hebrew]
"Unto Every Person There is a Name" is conducted around the world in hundreds of Jewish communities through the efforts of four major Jewish organizations: B'nai B'rith International, Nativ, the World Jewish Congress and the World Zionist Organization. The project is coordinated by Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority, in consultation with the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and enjoys the official auspices of the President of the State of Israel Shimon Peres. In Israel, "Unto Every Person There is a Name" has become an integral part of the official Yom Hashoah commemoration ceremonies, with the central events held at the Knesset and at Yad Vashem with the participation of elected officials, as well as events throughout the country.

I believe that the Murder of the Abortion Doctor George Miller was just plain awful.
While I believe that Abortion is murder; I believe that using violence to achieve ones political agenda and those who partake in such morally depraved activities are no better than the abortionists themselves.
Further more, I find the reaction in the Blogsphere; both on the right and left to be absolutely disgusting. Placing blame on a particular group does nothing to bring this man's life back. Further more; praising the actions of a cold blooded killer, who fired those shots of pure terrorism; does nothing, at all to further the cause of the Pro-Life movement. Shame on you all.
National Right to Life extends its sympathies to Dr. Tiller's family over this loss of life.
Further, the National Right to Life Committee unequivocally condemns any such acts of violence regardless of motivation. The pro-life movement works to protect the right to life and increase respect for human life. The unlawful use of violence is directly contrary to that goal. – Via National Right to Life's Website
From the Family Research Council:
We are stunned at today's news. As Christians we pray and look toward the end of all violence and for the saving of souls, not the taking of human life. George Tiller was a man who we publicly sought to stop through legal and peaceful means. We strongly condemn the actions taken today by this vigilante killer and we pray for the Tiller family and for the nation that we might once again be a nation that values all human, both born and unborn.
Let me say that, I, Paleo Pat, the owner of this blog, agree wholeheartedly with the above statements. Also, out of respect for the family of murdered victim, and because I know that there will be idiots chomping at the bit to make asinine comments here, I am closing the comments on this entry.
Update: I'm with Malkin, It's going be a long week. Others on the right are covering this and at this point, I'm not pairing Neo-Cons from the Paleo-Cons, because at this point, we're all in this together…

Top news coming in to a warm San Francisco today is about the 12-year-old boy now being held after he shot two of his classmates yesterday in New Mexico, at his middle school in Roswell.
"When will people learn that violence is not the answer?" says San Francisco resident, Katie Adler.
Newser.com is reporting that some students may have been warned about the shooting before it actually happened.
The news site reports:
"We have preliminary information that possibly some of the students were warned by the individual prior to the shooting not to go to school," the state police chief said last night, as per CNN.
The boy entered the gym at the Berrendo Middle School yesterday in the morning, as 500 students were standing around, trying to avoid being out in the cold before their classes began. He then proceeded to start shooting with a sawn-off .20-gauge shotgun.
Reports are being issued that say teacher John Masterson walked up to the suspect and told him to put the gun down. The 7th-grader was pointing the gun at the teacher as he was talking.
