Although Screen Burn Arcade officially opened its doors today, Saturday is when attendance is expected to blow up. As one exhibitor said, "Today is for setting up and testing everything for tomorrow."
The event, which is housed at the Austin Convention Center on 500 E. Cesar Chavez, is open from the public from Noon - Six both Saturday and Sunday and is definitely worth checking out if you're interested in learning about local development studios along with experiencing some of the more interesting aspects of digital media design (read: The Art Department exhibit on the Massive Black stage).
I stopped by earlier this afternoon to meet some of the exhibitors and get my hands on the various technologies on display at the Screen Burn Arcade. Here's a list of the must see exhibits.
Axelo Bat controller - This is probably going to be a fan favorite and get the most attention out of the local exhibitors. The Bat is the world's leading motion sensing controller for PC gaming and is capable of being used in place of a keyboard and mouse when paired with the proper program. David Murray of Axelo Inc. was kind enough to give me a display of their hardware on the big screen and I'll admit, turning an actual game controller (not a Wiimote) brought a smile to my face. Axelo is running a special SXSW promo through the weekend on their webpage. By entering the code X43B9 you can get two Bats for the price of one (retails for $99.99) or buy one controller for $69.99 if you pick it up at the Arcade exhibit.
Platinum Life: Web Edition - Local developer Heatwave Interactive is showcasing their new facebook game Platinum Life and giving out goodies including a mixtape of featured artists and exclusive SXSW in game content if you create a character in person.
Iverse Comics - Created locally, this app is taking comic books and placing them into your iPhone and other portable devices. The system works very similar to iTunes making it very easy to navigate owned comics and works surprisingly nicely on the iPhone. Iverse Media has working demos on both the iPhone and PSP at the Arcade.
3D Squared - Local educator Spencer Zuzolo has an informational booth set up to showcase information of his summer Game Camp! events (for profit) along with Digital Worforce Intensive and Capstone Conference (not for profit). The gist of this is simple, use video games to teach people how to make their own games and about the creative process surrounding other media outlets. As Spencer said, if you can make a game you can make a webpage or a movie. If you have any interest in game develop this is a booth you definitely want to spend some time at.
Game Salad - The local team from Gendai Games is set up giving demonstrations on how anyone can use Game Salad to create their own games. Make sure to ask them about success stories, it might just be the motivation needed to spark some new one-man studios here in Austin.
Rock Band Network - Harmonix, the company who created Guitar Hero and Rock Band, is showcasing their newest console endeavor The Rock Band Network which allows musicians and bands to upload their songs for anyone to play on Rock Band. This will probably be the most frequented exhibit as patrons can take the stage and rock out to all the songs they love and those they've never heard of.

Over A Thousand Terraced Green Roofs Grace JDS's Olympic Port Proposal for Rio
Start Slideshow
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSOne of the most remarkable submissions to Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Port competition, this terraced proposal by JDS Architects and NE Arquitetura caught our attention with its amazing array of nearly one thousand green roofs. Seeking to redefine how neighborhoods are conceived and taking inspiration from natural terraced cliffs, JDS and NE Arquitetura developed a cluster of residential towers surrounded by public parks and outfitted with thousands of green roofs. Surrounded and immersed in lush green spaces, their proposal is a stunning hybrid of the urban and natural world.1
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSThousands of green roofs and large public parks could dramatically alter downtown Rio.2
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSA lush green landscape is designed to encourage a new social life in Rio.3
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSThe proposed site for the Olympic Port occupies a number of large downtown blocks near the harbor of Rio de Janeiro.4
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSThe project team sought with their proposal to create a new identity for the downtown area.5
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSRotating the towers on their site allows for greater views.6
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSThe development would consist of a number of residential towers, office towers, a convention and expo center and hotels.7
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSThe buildings are extruded in grids up from the ground level to create terraces.8
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSParks would completely surround each building.9
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSRather than focussing all the aesthetics and design on the interior, this project looks to the exterior as well by incorporating terraced green roofs on the towers.10
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSAlthough the interior layouts of the apartments is certainly important, the project is defined by a thousand parks, balconies, and plateau's of life and vitality.11
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSThe public parks and private terraces are used to encourage a social life in the city. At the same time the terraced effect of the residential towers steps back the building and helps them feel less massive, although they are still quite dense.12
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSInspiration for the design came from towns like Santorini, where the cliff sides feature natural terraces and integrate shops, cafes and housing all in the vertical space.13
- Rio Olympic Port-JDSJDS and NE Arquitetura hoped that their proposal would be able to bridge the gap between more natural spaces and the urban environment.14

Flames Seek Season Sweep of Valparaiso Monday
Feb. 9, 2014
VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Green Bay 81, UIC 54 (Feb. 8)
The fifth-place UIC women's basketball team (17-6, 6-4 HL) seeks a season sweep of Valparaiso (3-18, 1-7 HL) Monday night (Feb. 10). Tip-off with the Crusaders is set for 7:05 p.m. CT inside the ARC. UIC's 17-6 overall record is the program's best mark through 23 games in program history.
UIC dropped a Horizon League contest at home Saturday (Feb. 8) with an 81-54 loss to Green Bay (14-7, 7-2 HL). Green Bay was 11-of-18 from beyond the arc and held the Flames to 29 percent shooting (17-of-58). The Phoenix used a 28-4 run early in the second half to pull away from the Flames.
UIC was out-rebounded (40-32) for only the fourth time this season. Green Bay racked up 20 second-chance points and received 35 points from its bench. Nine different players scored for Green Bay, who shot 55 percent from the field (26-of-47).
Valparaiso rounded out the preseason poll in ninth place. The Crusaders top the Horizon League with a .784 free throw percentage, which ranks fourth in the nation. Valpo is led by senior guard Charae Richardson, who averages 10.8 points and 3.4 assists per contest. Junior forward Sharon Karungi contributes 9.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
UIC defeated Valparaiso at home last month (Jan. 21) by a final score of 69-51. The Flames out-scored the Crusaders 35-15 in the second half and finished the contest on a 19-1 run. Katie Hannemann scored a game-high 18 points to lead three Flames in double-figures. Ruvanna Campbell (15) and Terri Bender (12) also scored in double-figures for the Flames.
Through 23 games, UIC has collected eight more wins (17-6) than the entire 2012-13 campaign (9-21). Based on overall wins, UIC's turnaround is the second largest in the nation. St. Bonaventure, Oregon and Jacksonville State have improved by nine wins from last season.
Per the Feb. 6 NCAA report, UIC ranks in the top 100 nationally in many statistical categories. The Flames are 23rd in rebounding margin (+7.4), 35th in win-lost percentage (.739), 70th in steals per game (9.3 spg), 72nd in scoring offense (72.2 ppg), 81st in field-goal percentage (.418) and 84th in scoring margin (+5.4).
Individually, Ruvanna Campbell ranks 13th in double-doubles (15), 14th in rebounding (11.4 rpg) and 53rd in field-goal percentage (.526). Terri Bender ranks 16th in steals (2.9 spg) and Rachel Story is 65th in scoring (18.1 ppg).
UIC's 11-game win streak (Nov. 15-Jan. 3) helped the Flames to their highest RPI ranking of the season (64). UIC currently sits No. 120 in the rankings behind Wright State (90) and Green Bay (109) amongst Horizon League programs.
The Flames collected a victory over a top 100 program in Wisconsin, who ranks No. 83. UIC also picked up a win over a top 150 program in Butler (121).
Past the halfway mark of conference play, UIC is second amongst all Division I Illinois programs with 17 victories. DePaul is first with 18 wins while Northwestern is third with 14 victories. Western Illinois picked up its 12th win Thursday.
The rest of the state programs include Eastern Illinois (10), Illinois (9), Loyola Chicago (9), Northern Illinois (8), SIUE (7), Illinois State (6), Bradley (5), Southern Illinois (4) and Chicago State (3).
The strong play of Ruvanna Campbell and Katie Hannemann has allowed UIC to dominate opponents inside the paint. UIC ranks first in the Horizon League in rebounding margin (+7.4) and offensive rebounds (16.7 per game). The Flames are 17-2 when out-rebounding their opponent.
The Flames also rank second in scoring defense (66.7 ppg) and third in blocked shots (3.0 bpg). UIC's strong inside play has helped the Flames score an average of 72.2 points per contest, good for third in the Horizon League. Last season, the Flames averaged 62.9 points through 23 games (7-16 record).
One of UIC's biggest improvements since last season has been taking advantage of the free throw line. UIC leads the Horizon League by making an average of 17.4 free throws on 26.2 attempts per game. Through 23 games of the 2012-13 campaign, the Flames made an average of 10.9 free throws on 16.7 attempts per contest.
UIC has made 20-plus free throws seven times this season while the 2012-13 squad had two 20-plus efforts overall. UIC is 13-2 when attempting more free throws than its opponent.
Over the last nine games, UIC has won the turnover battle six times and posted a stellar +3.7 turnover margin. The Flames are forcing opponents to commit 17.9 turnovers over that span and are averaging a League-high 11.1 steals per game.
UIC is 10-3 when winning the turnover battle. The Flames rank second in the Horizon League in steals (9.3 spg) and are one of five conference programs with a positive turnover margin (+1.3).
Redshirt sophomore Ruvanna Campbell is one of only six players nationally averaging at least 16 points, 11 rebounds and shooting over 50 percent from the field. Add in at least one steal and one block per game and the group is narrowed down to three players. The players in that elite group are Campbell, Stanford's consensus All-American Chiney Ogwumike and Wake Forest's Dearica Hamby.
Ruvanna Campbell picked up her fifth straight double-double and 20-point performance against Green Bay with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Over the last five contests, Campbell is averaging 22.8 points, 14.2 rebounds and shooting 58.0 percent from the floor (47-of-81).
Campbell owns nine 20-point performances and five 15-plus rebound efforts. She has been in double-figures in all but one contest (8 points at Wisconsin). Campbell's career high of 21 rebounds at Oakland (Jan. 18) are the sixth highest nationally in a single game this season and the fourth best in program history.
Campbell leads the Horizon League in double-doubles (15), rebounds (11.4 rpg) and offensive rebounds (4.6 per game). Campbell also ranks second in field-goal percentage (.526), third in blocks (1.3 bpg), eighth in scoring (16.5 ppg), eighth in steals (1.8 spg) and eighth in minutes played (33.3 per game). She was named the Horizon League's "Player of the Week" on Jan. 6.
The last UIC player to average over 11 rebounds a contest was Tracy Manuel (11.3 rpg) in 1983-84. There have been six seasons in program history in which a player has averaged a double-double. The last UIC player to average a double-double was Dejeanette Flournoy in 2003-04 (11.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg).
Senior Rachel Story picked up her 19th double-figure performance of the season against Oakland (Feb. 4) with 15 points. Story owns nine 20-point performances this season. Her career high of 34 points against Cleveland State (Jan. 25) is the fifth highest in program history and third highest in the Horizon League.
Story is averaging 18.1 points and shooting 33.0 percent from downtown (36-of-109). She ranks fourth in the Horizon League in scoring, second in minutes played (36.7 per game), ninth in free-throw percentage (.772) and tenth in three-pointers made (1.7 per game). Story also contributes 1.6 steals per contest.
Story has been named the Horizon League's "Player of the Week" twice this season (Nov. 25 and Dec. 23). Story (849 career points) entered the program's Top 20 scorers against Green Bay. She is on pace to finish her career with over 950 points.
Redshirt senior Katie Hannemann has helped UIC lead the conference in rebounding as she ranks sixth in the Horizon League with 7.7 caroms per contest. Additionally, she ranks fourth in the conference in offensive rebounds (3.2 per game).
Hannemann scored 16 points against Oakland (Feb. 4) for her 17th double-digit effort. She has posted five double-doubles, including 15 points and 14 rebounds at Oakland (Jan. 18).
Hannemann scores 12.7 points per contest and ranks fifth in the Horizon League in field-goal percentage (.484). Over the last six games, Hannemann has converted 54.5 percent of her field-goal attempts (30-of-55).
Hannemann passed Jo Ellen Swanson (1982-87) into 19th place in program history with 879 career points. She is on pace to finish her career with over 950 points.
Sophomore Terri Bender is playing the best defense of her career. She collected four more steals against Green Bay and has averaged 3.3 steals over the last nine contests.
Overall, Bender leads the Horizon League with 2.9 steals per game. Offensively, Bender picked up her first career double-double (20 points, 11 assists) at Detroit (Jan. 16) and tied her career-high with 22 points at Milwaukee (Jan. 29).
Bender is scoring 9.0 points per contest after 6.3 per game last season. Her 3.9 assists per game rank seventh in the Horizon League. Bender is also pulling down 4.4 rebounds per game after averaging 2.5 caroms during her freshman season.
Senior Emily Kobel finished 3-of-8 from three-point land against Green Bay and is tied with Sara Petersen (1994-98) for sixth place in program history with 128 career made three-pointers. Kobel is on pace to finish her career in sixth place with over 135 made three-pointers.
Kobel was a perfect 5-of-5 from three-point land at Detroit (Jan. 16) and tied her career high of 17 points. The performance is the Horizon League's most efficient from beyond the arc.
Kobel is knocking down 31.7 percent of her three-point attempts (39-of-123) and 79.2 percent of her free throws (19-of-24). She ranks 12th in the conference in made three-pointers (1.7 per contest).
Kobel has also pulled down a career-high 4.7 rebounds per game. Kobel had averaged 2.1 rebounds per contest in her career entering this season.
UIC had its 11-game win streak snapped in a 66-50 loss at Green Bay on Jan. 8. The streak tied the longest win streak in program history, which occurred from Jan. 11-Feb. 24, 2007. The win streak also ranked as the sixth longest in the nation.
Seven of the 11 wins were at road or neutral sites. Additionally, four of the 11 victories were over 2012-13 WNIT participants (Idaho State, Miami Ohio, Texas Southern and Butler).
The win streak was Regina Miller's longest as a head coach. Miller had two 10-game win streaks at UNLV (2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons). The 2001-02 Lady Rebels (23-8) earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament while the 2003-04 squad (26-8) advanced to the WNIT Championship game.
After weeks of being in the "Others Receiving Votes" section, UIC cracked the Top 25 of the Jan. 7 edition of CollegeInsider.com's Mid-Major Poll. The Flames debuted at No. 22 after receiving 119 votes in the ninth edition of this season's poll. UIC spent four weeks in the poll before dropping out this past week (Feb. 4).
Wright State (No. 13) and Green Bay (No. 21) currently represent the Horizon League in the poll. The most renowned mid-major head coaches in the country make up the voting panel for the poll, which is in its fourth year of existence. Gonzaga (20-3) is ranked No. 1 in the poll and No. 20 in the AP Top 25.
The 58-56 victory at Wisconsin on Dec. 21 was the sixth win over the Badgers in program history and the first in 34 seasons (1979-80 season). It snapped a 13-game win streak by the Badgers in the series.
UIC has collected 25 Big Ten victories in program history and nine since the Flames became a Division I program in 1980-81. The win is UIC's third Big Ten road victory in the Division I era. The Flames have also defeated Northwestern twice away from the UIC Pavilion (2002-03 and 2004-05).
UIC's 62-57 victory at Butler on Dec. 7 marked the program's third road win over a Big East opponent and first in 31 years. The last time the Flames defeated a Big East opponent away from the UIC Pavilion was on Nov. 23, 1982, when UIC pulled out a 76-61 decision at Marquette. UIC's first Big East road victory came at Marquette (66-63) on Feb. 12, 1981.
The win at Butler was also the first victory over a Big East opponent in 12 seasons. UIC's most recent Big East victory came at home against St. John's (65-52) on Nov. 18, 2001. UIC has collected 13 Big East victories in program history and six of those wins came prior to the Division I era.
Katie Hannemann and Rachel Story were voted Preseason First Team All-Horizon League. Additionally, UIC received three first-place votes in the poll and was picked to finish fourth in the Horizon League's preseason poll by the League's head coaches, SIDs and media members.
Both Hannemann and Story had stellar years in 2012-13. Hannemann was voted Second Team All-League while Story was selected to the All-Newcomer squad. The duo combined to average nearly 30 points per game and led the Flames in scoring in 24 of their 29 regular season contests.
UIC head coach Regina Miller added two new assistant coaches to the program over the summer. Eric Simpson, who served as the head coach at Loyola the past four seasons, and Tiffany Sardin, a Chicago native and three-year captain for the University of Virginia, joined the coaching staff in July 2013.
Simpson guided Loyola to their first-ever Horizon League Championship game this past March. The Chicago native and graduate of Northwestern (1994) spent the last seven years at Loyola, including the final four seasons as head coach, where he compiled a record of 57-66 (.463).
Sardin spent last season on the Mt. Olive College coaching staff. As an assistant coach at Mt. Olive, Sardin helped the Trojans compile an 18-12 record and an appearance in the NCAA Division II Championship, marking their second-ever postseason berth.

This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"Jesus spoke to men a message of peace, and taught us to live as brothers. His message took form in the vision of our fathers as they fashioned a nation where men might live as one. This message lives on in our midst as a task for men today and a promise for tomorrow. We thank you, Father, for your blessings in the past, and for all that with your help we must yet achieve" (Preface, Liturgy for Independence Day)
Reflection: The pro-life work we do advances the purpose of today's celebration: liberty and justice for all.
Prayer: Lord, grant the blessings of liberty to our unborn brothers and sisters. Amen.

Once your baby is born you may think the hard part is over. But the truth is that the hard part is just beginning. While a typical labor and birth can last 18 (or more) hours, parenting lasts 18 (or more) years! Unfortunately, nothing can prepare you fully for the days and weeks to come. While reading books on baby care can be helpful, there is no substitute for on-the-job training.
Many parents are surprised to find that the excitement and anticipation they felt during pregnancy are quickly replaced by fear and (sometimes) frustration. Even the most confident parents may begin to doubt their ability to care for their baby. The fact is, babies require a lot of work. While parenting is the most important job you will ever hold, it is most often the job for which you will have the least training. You will be required to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year—including weekends, nights, and holidays. There will be no benefits package—no pension plan, no paid vacation, no sick leave. There won't even be a salary! The only compensation you will receive will be a smile, a laugh, a hug, a first word, a first step, a first tooth. And looking back in years to come, without reservation or hesitation, you would do it all again.
Cherish every moment!

Welcome to baby gooroo!
As a Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and parent educator, my career spans more than 40 years. (How is that possible?!) After earning a bachelor's degree in nursing from The Ohio State University, I began my career as a staff nurse in labor and delivery. While pursuing my master's degree in maternal and infant health at the University of Florida, I worked in an OB/GYN clinic, educating expectant and new parents about pregnancy, birth, and parenting. After relocating to Atlanta, Georgia in 1977, I served as perinatal education coordinator for an OB/GYN clinic for nearly 17 years. Currently, I am a member of the adjunct faculty at Emory University School of Nursing, where I have the privilege of working with future gooroos.
I have authored numerous articles published in medical journals, served as President of the International Lactation Consultant Association and Chair of the United States Breastfeeding Committee, where I helped draft important women's health legislation. I have also worked as a consultant with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in advocating for breastfeeding awareness and education throughout the general population. I have been a commentator for breastfeeding education and public policy on various news programs, including 20/20, Good Morning America, and ABC News Now. My most important role to date, however, has been as "Mom" to my two (now grown) sons and "Grandma" to my one and only grandson.
I am truly honored to be a gooroo. As President and CEO of baby gooroo, I have the distinct privilege of working with the entire gooroo team. I am confident that I have learned more from them than they have learned from me. We love what we do, and we do it, because parents, babies, and families are worth it!

However, it never shined as brightly as it did on Saturday, February 6 as Huskie defensive end Jake Coffman, the Marine Corps veteran turned walk-on, turned team leader, turned inspiration, was honored by the Touchdown Club of Columbus as its 2009 Male Athlete of the Year at their annual banquet.
The evening was a who's who of college football. Universities like Ohio State, Boise State, TCU and Houston were represented, and some of college football's top players past and present, such as Stanford's Toby Gerhart, Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor and two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin, were in attendance. Former Heavyweight Champion Buster Douglas was honored on the 20th anniversary of his historic fight with Mike Tyson.
Coffman described it as a "surreal moment" to be in the company of those he had watched on television. Any uneasiness he was feeling went away when one man walked into the room; NIU head coach Jerry Kill.
"Having Coach there was great," Coffman said. "When I first saw him walk in, I felt relieved because it was nice to have a familiar face there. He also introduced me to a few people."
Coffman and Kill share a special relationship. Since his arrival, Coffman has been impressed with the way Kill cares about his players, not just on the field, but off it as well.
"He's one of the coaches I got to know off the field," he said. "Like I said in my speech, he cares about the growing and molding of the man and not just the player. He cares about you succeeding in life beyond the football field."
Kills' feelings for Coffman are very strong for his former defensive lineman.
"Jake stands for all the things you'd want in a human being," Kill said. "He served our country, spending two tours in Iraq, played college football as a walk-on and excelled. If I had a son, I would want him to act like Jake. Those are the best accolades I can give anybody."
When told he was going to receive the national award from the Touchdown Club of Columbus, one part of the weekend Coffman did not look forward to was giving an acceptance speech. One sleepless night, he put pen to paper and crafted his words. As he wrote his speech, any apprehension he had was slowly replaced by excitement.
"It just came to me," he said. "I wrote it all out in one sitting. It just came out smooth. Once I put it down on paper, I felt it would be fine. I was nervous to have to write a speech, but I was kind of excited because nobody knew who I was and nobody knew my story.
"I don't like to talk about myself, but if I have a goal, it's better. My goal, going into the speech, was to thank my family, Coach Kill, my teammates and service members. If I got that across, then that was fine."
As Coffman was introduced and began walking to the podium, he was caught off guard as he received a standing ovation from the crowd. He stepped to the microphone and delivered an emotional address.
"I never saw Jake stand up and deliver his story and his message," Kill said. "He did an outstanding job. I think he did as good a job as anyone else at the banquet, and you're talking about speakers like Archie Griffin, who I respect tremendously. He just did a great job representing himself and the university."
After he finished, Coffman received yet another standing ovation as he returned to his seat. When the banquet ended, several people approached him and thanked him for his service to our country. He was impressed to see the troops were still on people's minds.
"What I got from the people there was a sense of gratitude," Coffman said. "I met a handful of veterans [from the Vietnam era] that just came up to me, expressing how much they knew exactly what I was going through because they played too.
"A lot of other people came up to me and told me about their family members and friends serving over in the Middle East right now. That was what was really special about me being there too, is that people are still thinking about our troops over there."
If the banquet wasn't special enough, it was only half of the story for Jake and his family. The night before was equally meaningful. When the Coffmans arrived in Columbus, they were picked up by a representative of the Touchdown Club of Columbus and treated like royalty. When they arrived at the hotel, Jake and his parents, Tim and Vicky, headed down to the hospitality room where they met some of the other players and their families.
The Coffmans struck up a friendship with one family in particular, the Gerharts. The two families spent two and a half hours talking about life and became fast friends. They found out Toby's father, who played football at Cal-State Fullerton, was a member of the 1983 team the Huskies defeated in the California Bowl.
When Coffman heard the Heisman Trophy runner up was coming to the event, he made a point to meet him. The German Valley, Ill. native and the Stanford running back from Norco, Calif. developed a friendship during the two days in Columbus and on the podium, Coffman even made a joke about Gerhart as they showed the clip of Jake's 79-yard interception return and touchdown against Western Michigan.
"The weekend was as much fun for my parents as it was for me," Coffman said.
"We really enjoyed getting to know so many of the parents of the other honorees," Vicky Coffman said. "We now have friends in California, Florida, Texas and Ohio."
The proud mom continued; "Jacob gave a very moving speech with humility and eloquence. Overall, it was one of the best experiences of our lives."
"It was a once in a lifetime trip and it was great to end my career on that note," Coffman said.

It is a big weekend with a couple of very anticipated movies hitting theaters. One is a big swords and sandals epic. The other is a strange action, sci-fi story. The third features one of the final performances of one of the greatest actors of the generation. In short, the movies are all over the map!
Here are the movies new to theaters July 25, 2014:
Hercules - Dwayne Johnson, Aksel Hennie, Ian McShane. We take a look at the life of the legendary demigod after he has completed his fabled 12 labors. Now Hercules just wants to settle down and start a family, but the world is just not going to let him do that. This movie is action-packed and based on a comic book series. Surprisingly it is also getting generally favorable reviews. Look, if you see the previews and see men in skirts and sandals fighting each other and mythical beasts and you want to see that, then that is exactly what you'll get. Rated PG-13.
Lucy - Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Min-Sik Choi. Lucy is a simple woman who gets rooked into carrying a new drug sewn up inside her stomach. When that drug starts to leak into her system she discovers that one of the side effects is that the drug makes you use more and more of your brain. As Lucy begins to use 30, 40, 50, 75 percent of her brain, she develops vast superhuman powers and takes revenge against the people who sewed that drug up into her in the first place. Directed by Luc Besson, this one is guaranteed to be action-packed and weird and reviews are very mixed. Rated R.
A Most Wanted Man - Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Willen Dafoe. One of the last performances captures on film from the great Hoffman before he passed away earlier this year. It is a spy thriller set in modern day Hamburg, Germany. When a half-dead man who is also half-Russian and half-Chechen shows up in an Islamic area looking for help, there are those who suspect he is not telling the truth about who he is and what he wants. Lots of intrigue and twists and turns in this one and it is getting great reviews. If you love a thinking and a political pot-boilers, this is the movie to see. Rated R.

Bottles and Cans: Iowa Container Deposit System
Iowas container deposit law has played a key role in reducing litter and fostering recycling for the past 30 years. The container deposit law has benefited Iowas economy, greatly reduced litter, and has cultivated a commitment to recycling among Iowans that has made many other programs successful.

Pro-abortion politicians will often say to us, "I respect your views, but I have to represent all the people." Our response? That's what we're trying to say to you. If you neglect the unborn, you are not representing all the people. Roe vs. Wade excludes them from protection; we demand that they be included.
A public servant cannot legitimately ignore an entire segment of the public that is being destroyed.
Yes, an elected official has to represent all the people. That means that we cannot draw artificial lines that say that some people aren't really people after all. But that's what the pro-choice mentality does.
Elected officials should represent all the people. That starts with protecting all the people, whether they are convenient or inconvenient, healthy or sick, born or unborn.

I know, I know – WEDNESDAYS are Gear Review Opportunity days. But – I am making an exception. (And, with Rebecca galavanting around in some remote, tropical isle, chasing saltwater whitefish, she can't tell me "NO!")
This morning we were contacted by the folks at Pure Fishing about their new baits. They launched 4 new soft plastic Bass Baits under the Berkley Havoc label at the Bassmaster Classic this year in February. These new baits are all designed by Pro's sponsored by Pure Fishing – Bobby Lane, Skeet Reese,Gary Klein, and Mike Iaconelli. Since they were just introduced last month, they are not found everywhere yet – a GREAT opportunity for our Bass Fishing Bloggers to get their hands on these new baits.
The 4 baits are outlined below. Pure Fishing has offered to send out 6 packages of baits to lucky bloggers chosen by the RNG. Each winner will receive 2 bags of each bait (2 different colors, specified in the details of the bait) for a total of 8 bags. At $3.50 per bag, you get $28 worth of new baits to try!
Details on these new baits are found below. Good Luck, and THANKS to Pure Fishing for the offer.
First up is the Craw Fatty.
Bobby Lane designed, The Craw Fatty™ has bigger ribs and a wider body for increased action and maximum disturbance in the water. The thinner design in the plastic body results in flawless hook-ups. It's a great multipurpose bait, you can flip it, pitch it, punch it, Texas & Carolina rig it, or use it as a jig trailer. This is a 4″ bait and the colors you will receive are Green Pumpkin and Black Blue Fleck
Next up is The Deuce. Gary Klein designed, the Deuce™ has an innovative tail design that creates movement even at the slowest speeds. The longer body allows you to use a larger hook for better hook-ups. It's a very versatile bait, which can be used for all techniques. This is a 3″ long bait. The colors you will receive are Smoke Spakle and Green Pumpkin.
Next up is the Pit Boss. Skeet Reese designed, The Pit Boss™ has the best possible action to get bites in all conditions. It's the perfect size to match the most common forage like bait fish and crawfish. The Pit Boss will be the ultimate flipping bait. This is a 4″ bait. Your colors will be Vampire Orange and California.
The final offering in this set is the Devil Spear.
Mike Iaconelli designed, The Devil Spear™ has a segmented tail that results in wild flapping or whipping action on the fall and retrieve. Since it doesn't have any appendages it can be fished easily even in extremely heavy cover. It's a great bait for flipping, pitching and punching with Texas & Carolina rigs. This is a 4″ bait and your colors will be June Bug and green Pumpkin.
OK fishermen – you know the drill by now. If this is something you'll be able to use in the next 4-6 weeks and you want to give it a try – throw your name into the ring. The RNG will work its magic on Sunday evening, and we will post the winners on Monday. One quick word of advice – lure reviews can sometimes be difficult to do. There are times that, no matter what you throw, the fish simply will not bite. With lure reviews, pay close attention to the action of the bait, the feel, the durability. Of course, if you are catching fish, EVERYONE attributes that to the lure or bait! Bottom line – take them out, give 'em a workout, and let us know what you think.

No pet owner deliberately sets out to harm their pet, especially by exposing them to any potential poison. Many people, however, don't realize how hazardous some common items around the house are to pets. The ASPCA lists the top five common household items that can be lethal.
1. Prescription Human Medications
The ASPCA handled over 24,000 cases regarding pets ingesting human prescription medications in 2013. Human meds have been the top offender for six years in a row. The top three types of medications that animals were exposed to are heart medications, antidepressants, and pain medications. Many instances of exposure occurred when pet parents dropped their medication and the pet quickly swallowed it.
2. Insecticides
Insecticides are used in the yard, home and on our animals, and 16% of calls to the ASPCA's poison hotline in 2013 were related to insecticides. Pet parents need to read and follow all label directions carefully. Some insecticides remain dangerous to pets for many days, others only for a few hours. Doggy Day care may be a good idea if insecticides are needed. Store any leftovers locked away from pet access.
3. Over-the-Counter Human Medications
Over-the-counter human products, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen and herbal supplements, accounted for nearly 15% of calls to APCC in 2013. Many of these products are tasty to pets, and some can be life threatening if ingested. Keep all medications locked away from pet access and places pets frequent. Take meds in the bathroom with the door closed and Fido out.
4. People Food
Human foods are appealing to pets, especially dogs. Dogs can get themselves into serious trouble by ingesting onions/garlic, grapes/raisins and xylitol, a sugar substitute which can be life-threatening for animals. Chocolate is still the number one people food that pets ingest (ASPCA received an average of 26 calls a day last year). Too much chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, high heart rate and seizures. Pet death is also a possibility.
5. Plants
Houseplants beautify homes and bring nature indoors. Pets and some greenery just don't mix. More than 9,000 calls in 2013 were pet parents worried about their animals eating plants. This is one category that cats lead dogs in the number of exposures. Lilies can cause kidney failure and death in cats. Click to see a list of toxic/non-toxic plants for more information.

Today, The Blaze broke the story of 70 Republican House members who have signed a petition to uphold the Hastert Rule in regard to a vote on an immigration bill. The Hastert Rule deems that if a Republican House majority in a Republican controlled House is against a particular piece of legislation, the Speaker will disallow that bill from reaching the floor for a vote. However, Republican Tea Party members believe that the immigration bill is merely back-door amnesty. The amnesty bill along with the Benghazi incident and cover-up leads Augusta Political Buzz (APB) to believe that Boehner is working toward something bigger.
Although the 70 members fall short of a majority of Republicans, the immigration bill is so unpopular with Tea Party members that a confrontation with Speaker Boehner is expected.
Shortly after The Blaze broke the story, Boehner spoke to reporters and insisted that he wouldn't move a bill that draws so much animosity among Republicans. Nevertheless, APB believes that Boehner will in fact raise the amnesty specter despite an immanent split among his Republican colleagues all in the hope of gaining support from the Hispanic community for his bid in 2016.
Speaking of Benghazi, Boehner has blocked the formation of a panel to investigate the terrorist attack on an American Consulate and Annex there. If it wasn't for Rep. Frank Wolf's (R-Va.) resolution on having a select committee render an unbiased conclusion about Benghazi, the whole issue would be left up to House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) to investigate.
Yet, Boehner may not bring Wolf's resolution up for a vote despite its overwhelming Republican co-sponsorship. Instead Boehner may opt for Issa to continue his lethargic attempt of uncovering truth with five separate committees. Death by attrition will be the "regular order" that Boehner's approach justifies.
As a matter of fact, House Speaker John Boehner is noticeably mum about his aspirations for the Republican nomination in 2016. His office staffers are conspicuously vague and his email correspondence with APB is riddled with ambiguous cipher. Boehner gives a definitive no on one hand while he asserts that any decision for seeking the presidency will be made with much forethought at the appropriate time. Apparently, the appropriate time is after he passes the amnesty bill and the Benghazi scandal evaporates. Is Boehner trying to gain favor with uninformed voters too? By showing his reluctance to pursue this vital scandal with any vigor makes him complicit in the cover-up and dangerously ambitious.
At his best, Boehner talks tough about amnesty and the Obama Administration's follies. However, he is a glass facade with many cracks. He is dangerous to the country.

According to the National Hockey League website on Sunday, Canadian Olympic gold medalist Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins won the National Hockey League scoring race for most points in the regular season. Crosby finished with 104 points (36 goals and 68 assists) to beat fellow Canadian Olympic gold medalist Ryan Getzlaf by 17 points.
By leading the NHL in points, Crosby wins his second Art Ross Trophy of his career. He first won the Art Ross Trophy in 2007 when he had 120 points and beat Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks that year by six points.
Crosby will officially receive the award on June 24 at a ceremony in Las Vegas. According to Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal, Crosby will be a serious contender to win the Hart Trophy as well.
Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals meanwhile will win the Rocket Richard Trophy for leading the NHL with 51 goals, and Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings will win the William M. Jennings Trophy for helping the Los Angeles Kings surrender the NHL least 174 goals. All of the other awards will be voted on by various hockey experts and be presented in over two months time.
Crosby will now be focused on helping lead the Pittsburgh Penguins toward a deep playoff run. The Penguins finished second in the Eastern Conference and first in the Atlantic Division with 109 points. Their first round opponent will be the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have qualified for the postseason in their first year in the Eastern Conference.
It has been an outstanding year for Crosby. In February, he scored a key insurance goal for Canada in the gold medal game of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. Crosby, who scored on the breakaway in the second period, put Canada up 2-0 at the time en route to a 3-0 victory over Sweden. Crosby also scored one of the biggest goals in hockey history. At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Crosby scored the overtime winner as Canada beat the United States 3-2 in the gold medal game.

An upstanding British civil servant's life is upended during the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels, Belgium.
There is an extraordinary amount of complexity and homage present in this rip-roaringly funny satire by Coe (The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim, 2011, etc.), so much so that even readers with the most observant eyes for detail may miss a few marks. No matter, because in placing an obscure character in the circus that was Expo 58, the author manages to pull off the fascinating trick of portraying high comedy while being absolutely faithful to its extraordinary setting. Coe's Everyman protagonist is Thomas Foley, who first appeared as a tangential character in the earlier novel The Rain Before It Falls (2008). Here, Foley is an upstanding civil servant and dedicated if somewhat distractible family man. His superiors at the Ministry of Information are in a tizzy over the impending World's Fair, debating furiously whether a history of the British water closet is appropriate fodder. Foley is tasked to repair to Brussels for six months to oversee the Brittania, a modern-ish pub meant to be the jewel of England's pavilion. Drawing its tone from the broad comedy of the 1950s and its heart from Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 comic thriller The Lady Vanishes, the novel captures with lighthearted glee that extraordinary moment when Great Britain is caught between the stiff upper lip of postwar survivors and the swinging '60s that still lie ahead. Coe lays trap after trap in front of Foley, among them a beautiful Flemish hostess and a very funny pair of bickering British spooks who fall in the tradition of Thomson and Thomson from Herge's The Adventures of Tintin. For all the book's inherent humor (e.g. the American and Russian pavilions are parked back to back for Europe's amusement), Coe is extraordinarily faithful to the time and place of his elegant farce, describing the Atomium with an almost poetic sense of wonder and idealism.
A decidedly British comic adventure that lovingly captures a long-lost age.
