The big name films about people with big names have all flopped at the box office, yet films about Elton John, Lance Armstrong and Stephen Hawking are in the works. Can Hollywood save the biopic?
Welcome to 2013: The year of the bodgie biopic. From Diana to Jobs the films about great people's lives have all been tragedies this year, but for all the wrong reasons. Yet they won't stop coming: Physicists, musicians, sportsmen and politicians all have films of their lives in the works, but why are studios making them if they are failing? And why are they failing?
Let's be clear, there have been a few good biographical films this year. But 2013's line-up of high profile flims about high profile people have been almost exclusively duds. Steve Jobs, Diana Spencer, Alfred Hitchcock and even Julian Assange have all had their lives turned into films that have excited neither critics nor the box office.
Big name, big flop #2 ... Naomi Watts as Diana in Diana
The Fifth Estate, the Assange biopic starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the Wikileaks founder, is confounding studios and pundits with the scale in which it has tanked at the UK and US box offices — it is the worst "wide release" of the year, by some margin. Overseas audiences assumed the British tabloids were overreacting in their Diana bashing, until they saw it, or for the most part didn't. Jobs the autobiography was a bestseller. Jobs the movie was a turkey.
Studios have looked to the ever increasing obsession with celebrity and justifiably assumed it translates to, if not guaranteed success then at the very least a big head start. They have some great figures to back that up too. But the thing is, the secret no-one seems to want to admit, is simply this:
Biopic isn't a genre.
Big name, big flop #3 ... Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in Jobs.
It is a very crowded non-genre though. 2013 has been the year of bounteous biopics. Already we've had in Australian cinemas Hitchcock, The Impossible, Lincoln, The Look of Love, Behind the Candelabra, Greetings from Tim Buckley, The Bling Ring, Jobs, Lovelace, Rush, Diana and now Captain Phillips. On the horizon you can add The Butler, The Fifth Estate and The Railway Man in coming weeks.
The studios, the publicists and the industry at large would like you to believe biopic is a genre, because they know it's a weighty term. They would particularly like the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, who hand out the Oscars, to keep believing biopic is a genre.
The Academy loves a biopic. Oscar winners of the past decade include Lincoln, Argo, The King's Speech, Milk, Capote, Ray, The Iron Lady, The Blind Side, La Vie en Rose, The Queen, Walk the Line, Monster, Erin Brockovich and The Pianist. In that time, six of the best actress Oscars, and five for best actor, have gone to films that claim to be biopics, as have two of the last three best picture awards.
Will Rocketman soar? ... Tom Hardy to play Elton John.
Biopics win awards.
It's still not a genre.
Biopics — pictures based on some form of biographical fact — are in essence any film that can use the phrase "based on a true story" or even "inspired by a true story" and not blink. The Butler is an Oscar favourite, and despite the fact that its lead character doesn't even share the same name as the real life person it is notionally based upon, it is "inspired by a true story" so it is a biopic (it's really an historical epic).

After that crucial sentence appears in the opening titles however, a biopic is a film, any film — animation, action or art house — and most importantly it's a story. Lately, too many biopic-makers have forgotten that. They've just recounted the beats of the life, or segment of a life, that they have chosen and assumed that's all it takes.
The Fifth Estate is not a bad film but it suffers from an assumption that we care about Assange. Diana and Jobs did the same thing regarding their famous leads. None or little effort is made in these films to ingratiate the character to the viewer. Rather than setting reality aside and introducing us to their version of this real life personality, too many filmmakers build their films on the foundations of an assumed audience knowledge, and sympathy.
These films confuse fascination or curiosity for caring. They don't tell a story, they give evidence or background for a perception of what happened.
If anything, you need a better storyteller for biopics than for fiction. The truth is a huge handicap to storytelling: real life doesn't come in three act structures and real people complain about discrepancies between the actual events and those portrayed. Yet to produce more than a vehicle for an actor to deliver a (potentially award-winning) impression of a well-known figure, a genuine genre must be chosen and the real story must be adapted to fit into it. Shakespeare in Love was a romantic-comedy, but it is a better biopic than Diana because audiences cared about its real life characters and their imaginary events.
Biopics can work and be utterly brilliant, if they are also great thrillers (Rush, The Impossible, Captain Phillips), epics (Young Victoria), political dramas (The Queen), tragedies (Milk, The Pianist) or tales of triumph and redemption (Erin Brockovich, The Railway Man). They can't work if their makers don't choose a genuine storytelling genre that makes their mark on the reality. "Biography" is the shelf you might find the book on, but it isn't itself a narrative style.
Over the horizon, studios are scratching around for any life story they can buy the rights to. Tom Hardy is set to play Elton John in a biopic entitled Rocketman. While Stephen Frears is shooting a Lance Armstrong movie with Ben Foster as the disgraced cyclist, and Oliver Stone aims to cast Jamie Foxx in a Martin Luther King tale.
The Theory of Everything will feature Les Miserables' Eddie Redmayne as the celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking as we learn of his relationship with his now ex-wife Jane Wilde, played by Felicity Jones.
While the list of actors set to play Freddie Mercury in the biopic of the Queen frontman, which has the approval of the remaining members of the band, grows by the day. It was, but now definitely won't be Sacha Baron Cohen. So Daniel Radcliffe or Dominic Cooper or Ben Whishaw or someone else will grab the microphone and deliver this bohemian rhapsody to the camera.
Finally, Bill Condon the director of The Fifth Estate has been tasked with rewriting The Greatest Showman on Earth, starring Hugh Jackman as the legendary P.T. Barnum. Condon didn't write the Assange movie, his last scripting effort was Dreamgirls, and the good news is the Barnum film is being talked about as a "contemporary musical" — a genre — not as a biopic. Hopefully they'll make Rocketman a musical too. Perhaps The Theory of Everything could be a romantic comedy?
Some of these films will be successes. Great even. They will be the ones that take real life and like the alchemists of lore, turn lead into gold, magically convert truth into a tale that shall and will be handed down for generations to come.

Suppose that $X$ is a compound Poisson random variable of rate $\lambda$ where the size of the jumps are independent random variables with density function $f$.
ie. $X$ is a sum of $N$ i.i.d. random variables with density $f$, which are independent from $N$, and $N$ is distributed as $Pois(\lambda)$. Here we have $\phi_X (u) = e^{\lambda(\phi_f(u)-1)}$.
I would like to show that conditional on the event that there is at least one jump (to remove the spike at 0), $X$ has a density. It seems natural that convolution should smooth out the distribution and preserve the existence of a density. Intuitively, by conditioning on $N$, we'd imagine it'd have a density $g$, where
\begin{equation} g(x) = \frac{1}{P(N>0)} e^{-\lambda} \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \lambda^n f^{*^n}(x)/n! \end{equation}
where $f^{*^n}$ is the n-fold convolution of the density with itself. If, for example, $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$, we know that $\|f*f\|_\infty \le \|f\|_2^2$, so the series above converges uniformly and I think we can argue that it is indeed the true density of $X$ .
If $f$ is just an arbitrary non-negative element of $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ I'm not sure how to proceed though. We know from conditioning that
\begin{equation} \mu_{X|N>0} (X \le x) = \frac{1}{P(N>0)} e^{-\lambda} \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \lambda^n \mu_f^{*^n}(X \le x)/n! \end{equation}
so we just need to show it's differentiable. Any ideas?

Nearly two dozen people are facing criminal charges in a multimillion-dollar drug trafficking ring with a door-to-door delivery service for "good customers" that brought kilos of cocaine and heroin to Long Island every week, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said Tuesday.
Prosecutors say Elvis Castro, 28, of Amityville and Juan Smith, 25, of Valley Stream, were at the helm of the massive ring. They are accused of supplying more than five kilograms of heroin and two kilograms of cocaine to Suffolk County buyers every two weeks. "This, in my view, makes a major dent in the drug trafficking here on Long Island," Spota said of the bust.
According to authorities, the men would then sell the drugs to mid-level dealers, who would meet them at malls and gas stations along the Long Island Expressway and Sunrise Highway. The so-called mid-level dealers would then sell the drugs to street dealers to be resold across Suffolk County. "The cocaine and heroin was hand delivered to them [the alleged street dealers] at their houses because they were good customers," Spota said.
Prosecutors estimated the ring was able to distribute hundreds of thousands of bags of heroin every month. Spota said investigators had seized more than 100,000 bags of heroin during a search of a Brentwood home that was allegedly used only for processing and packaging the drugs. During that search, prosecutors seized more than $200,000 in cash, seven vehicles, 13 loaded handguns, two shotguns and an AR-15 assault rifle, the district attorney said.
Spota said investigators came upon the ring when undercover officers started buying drugs from the street-level dealers and then tracked the chain of command. He said the investigation was complex because the alleged ringleaders would continuously change cell phones. "These are pretty sophisticated individuals," he said. "They obviously have been doing this for quite some time."
John Austin, Jr., the assistant special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's operations on Long Island said the drug pipeline began in South America, works through Mexico, into the United States in the Southwest and makes its way to New York. He said that meant the price was dropping and the purity was increasing. Spota said he believes Long Island is seeing a spike in heroin use because of "affluent" communities and drug users who can afford to pay.
Prosecutors said the ring had been serving about 20 customers per day in mid-Suffolk County. Investigators are still combing through evidence and the case remains active, Spota said. He also told reporters that additional arrests were coming.
Castro and Smith, who were both arraigned in July, are being held on $5 million bail, prosecutors said. In total, 22 people have been arrested and charged in connection with the operation. They have all pleaded not guilty.

How many of you feel bad for Gerald Mcclellan?
This is not a ***** talk thread on him. It's a serious question. I was watching Benn-McClellan on youtube, and there were some mixed responses. Given what he did (dog fighting, animal abuse), how many of you feel bad, and how many of you think he deserved it or it's karma? Me, personally, I think it's horrible what he did, but at the same time, that kind of stuff is a culture in certain areas. It doesn't make it right though. It's still upsetting to see people end up the way he did.

people are god damn morons if they feel he "deserved" what he got cuz of dog fighting. people in maw****in china and various other places eat dogs for food. Some cultures fight dogs, depending on where you live. Just because you may love dogs doesn't mean everyone else should. In India cows are sacred yet us fat yanks eat cow like 8 times a week, they probably think we are disgusting creatures.

Never like to see that befall anyone, someone can make up or at least try to make up for any evil they have done, even if they don't at least there is that possibility. There is nothing for someone in his current state.

Gerald started feeling headaches since the Julian Jackson fight, probably started from there. I do feel bad for someone to be physically immobile and mentally incabaple of doing regular day things by himself. Even my worst enemy I wouldnt wish that upon them, so yes I feel bad for him.

But he is a good example because why I laugh about ppl who cry that real boxers aren't warriors - scarred or stuff like that. These ppl want to see that they let their life in the ring and after they did what then??? Nobody cares about them anymore. Nobody pays their bills from medical care etc. For what should they let their life in the ring. If a fighter chooses too ok but if a fighter quits in a fight because he takes a beating and he knows he has no chance I also have no problem if he quits. This doesn't decide if you are warrior. I mean you would never call Morales a quitter and he quit against Pacquiao III. Sometimes you need to know what is best for yourselves.
With McClellan as I heard he already had a brain injury or something like that from sparring but nobody noticed it and well, what happened is sad. But in a sport like boxing where the goal is to hit someone you can't expect that your health will be 100% after you're done

You guys have no idea what actual dog fighting is like. Gerald probably loved his pits as much as his own kids.
Besides he would not be the only boxer to be involved in dog fights/**** fights *cough* RJJ *cough*

If World of Warcraft has taught me anything, it's that teaching a crowd something is far harder than teaching individuals.
I'm not expecting that much of a difference though. I swear Blizzard just deliberately makes kids in Warcraft look really weird, deformed, or just wrong as some kind of a running joke. I understand it's hard to get certain looks they want with the unique graphics WoW uses, but then again, pandaren children are surprisingly cute.

March 20th is National Proposal Day.
Note: One's partner may decline the proposal simply because proposing on the national day for proposing could be seen as a cheesy attempt that may border on the contrived. Wisconsin, however, has some of the best cheese in the world; meaning that, a number of Milwaukeeans, more than likely, have a high tolerance for the cheesiest, lovey-dovey events of life. (Oh, how Midwesterners put things in perspective.) An offer of marriage on National Proposal Day could work in any Wisconsinite's favor, but here are some proposals that will probably delay an engagement. Steer clear.
Bad ways to/when not to propose
- After you cheated. "But baby I love you, Marry Me?" This plays as if marriage is an apology for dishonesty. Likewise, be wary of any proposals that are offered after a big booboo.
- After your partner delivers the placenta… wrong time. Just let her punch/pinch you as hard as she likes and compliment her strength and beauty.
- At somebody else's wedding; however, after the wedding, in sentimental reflection, in your own environment, a proposal has the potential to be sweet.
- With red roses. The Bachelor, of reality tv, gives out roses to keep his harem wanting more on national television.
- Jumbotron or a plane with a banner.
- Drunk.
- "Oops, we're preggers!"
- On April Fool's Day. If you were planning on proposing on April Fool's Day, please speed it up by March 20th. March 27th is also too close to April Fool's. Do not lag behind.
- Beware of the spectacular proposal. With a spectacle comes other confusing emotions & pressures, such as embarrassment & guilt. These could lead to a faulty "yes" or a thoughtless "no".
Anything out of the ordinary for you and your partner could lead to disaster & will feel manufactured and insincere. Go for compliments, care and sincerity. If your sincerity involves red roses and your newborn baby then, by all means, do what you do. Also, do not put the ring into food or drink.
Great ways to propose in Milwaukee
- Trails to walk, secret places
- At the Art Museum
- Go see a local show/band then go to At Random (click here for another article on At Random).
- Local bakery/local winery
- If you just gave birth to the baby, it is okay for you to propose. Put the ring on the baby's finger.
- If it happens to snow or you would like to wait until warmer weather, ask the question at the drive-in, at intermission (third video down the page) when the hot dog jumps into the bun (fun & sexy).
- Maybe ice skating. Make a fool of yourself, you know you can't skate. Even if you can skate, pretend you can't, because it's funnier. Fall. Complain about your bum. Pull the ring out of a safely zipped pocket, and when he or she is about to help you up, ask. If they don't offer to help you up… leave. No proposal for them.
Best wishes for your proposals and marriages, in hopes that your's will be a marriage like David and Rosalie Meier's who, after 62 years of marriage, peacefully passed away within an hour of each other.

Can you get pregant on Birth control?

Yes, all birth control methods have the possibility of pregnancy. The probability of a pregnancy depends on which birth control method you are using and how consistently you follow its rules. If you check with your ob/gyn about the method you are currently using he/she will be able to give you the effectiveness rate(how well it prevents pregnancy) and the rate(how many pregnancies occur for every 100 or 1000 users). There is a failure rate for every single form of birth control, including sterlization methods (although these are very low). If you believe you are pregnant take a home pregnancy test or check with your doctor.posted 08/20/2007 by momma_2fold
My mother is 34 yrs younger than my father and I was the 3rd born my mother had been o bc for about 4 years and my father used condoms my parents didnt plan on anymore kids, but god had a finial say and I was born. I to was on the pill for 5 yrs and my bf & I was shocked to learn that I was 6 wks when I went to er for kidney stones. So yes it can happen I'm a BC baby and going to have a bc baby (16wks). I can say that my baby is a gift from god, and everything happens for a reason or purpose whether you know it or not.posted 03/22/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I am another one of those moms who used the pill and condoms and still conceived. Our family Dr. was shocked as well as us. When talking to my OBGYN She said the best BC out there as of late is the patch. With the pill you really have to take it at the Same time EVERY day and some available drugs for colds and migraines will effect how well the pill will work. With the patch as long as you change it on the day you are ment to you will be fine. I was recommended the Evra patch.posted 01/02/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Reading all of your posts have helped me so much! I was a planned preg but my brother wasn't he was conceived while on the pill and I guess I should've learned from my mom's preg with him but I'm sooo trying that patch cuz this is the second scare my fiance and I have had since we moved in together. I have alot of probs remembering my pills so that patch sounds like my kinda bc!!posted 04/12/2011 by muzii09
Yes! My DS is living proof lol. I took it every night before bed. Well not many ppl go to bed at the same exact time every night. My doc said that is probably how I got pregnant, well she could have told me that when she wrote the prescription, I had no idea! I guess it was just meant to be, I wouldn't give up my son for anything in the world now :)posted 08/21/2010 by harmony_24
I had a friend who was on the pill and she ended up getting medication for her migraines. Well, the headache medicine ended up canceling out the pill and she ended up pregnant. She didn't know that could happen and the doctor didn't tell her. Be careful!posted 07/20/2010 by justins-baby-momma
YES. I got pregnant while on the pill. I never missed any of them, but I was sick and took some medications. This is not my first pregnancy and my doctor told me that it is possible to get pregnant on the pill....more so for women who already have had a baby.posted 05/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes, I became pregnant off of the low dose pill. I didn't forget to take it or anything like that either.posted 05/10/2010 by Miranda0721
Yes, you can without doubt..trust me im one of those women who got pregnant while on the pill. My mom also did while pregnant with me and my sister. They are all different, but i thought i was for sure protected by using condoms and birth control..so there is no lie when they say no sex is the best way. I would just talk to your ob/gyn about a decent pill that works great with you and has least numbers of women who have gotten pregnant while using that pill.posted 09/27/2007 by butterflyeffect48

I like your article. I ran into the problem described as a second one in your post (using CommSuite 5). But it's not simple to resolve as given here. Three of us jointly searched on many sites for an answer but couldn't find the missing piece how to solve this. The closest we got was this: http://lists.balius.com/pipermail/info-ims-archive/2006-May/025481.html
 Is it possible to update this article with the inclusion of some more related tips? Thank you.

Hi Folks,

Roland -xipo=2 was just one of the experiments I didn't add in, it would make an interesting datapoint though, if I can get time on the rig again I'll gather the data.

UX - yep, I understand the -fast issue, but in the context of benchmarking on a particular box I think its quite appropriate.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/fintanr/entry/stream_and_the_performance_impact#comment-1189728037000 Re: Stream and the performance impact of compiler optimization UX-admin 2007-09-14T00:00:37+00:00 2007-09-14T00:00:37+00:00
Actually using -fast isn't realistic, as it is a macro which will expand to switches which optimize for that particular CPU ISA and timing. What that means is that the binary generated cannot be run across a range of different processors.

One could cook something up with isaexec, but even then -fast wouldn't be appropriate.

Just curious: Why didn't you try -xipo=2 (interprocedural optimizer) ?
 https://blogs.oracle.com/fintanr/entry/stream_and_the_performance_impact#comment-1189679644000 Re: Stream and the performance impact of compiler optimization fintanr 2007-09-13T10:34:04+00:00 2007-09-13T10:34:04+00:00
In fairness I think -fast does solve most cases for people, the two extra optimizations noted here do give a massive boost on this workload, but probably wouldn't for a lot of applications.

On saying that though, yeah, I'd love to see a compiler that could work out the best optimization itself, but I think some human interaction is going to be needed for a bit longer.

Next step (though it is probably very hard) is a compiler that does not need people trying every possible combination of options, and can automatically use the best optimizations...

Forest Service fire managers continue suppression efforts on the two wildfires that remain active on the Chelan Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
The 25 Mile Wildfire, located eight miles west of Manson and burning in brush, grass and open timber, is estimated at 2,098 acres in size and 70 percent contained.
Fire officials transferred the management of this fire to a local Type 3 fire organization, composed primarily of US Forest Service Chelan Ranger District staff, on July 9 at 6:00 am. Fire suppression efforts, using fire crews and helicopter water drops, have been highly successful in containing the fire.
Level 1 Evacuation notices affecting the Emerson Acres, Green's Landing and Antilon Lake campground since the start of the fire have been lifted.
The Mitchell Creek Campground, accessible only by boat, remains closed, as are Forest Service Roads 8200 (Grade Creek Road) beyond Antilon Lake and the 8200-117 (Oss Peak Road).
The 25 Mile Wildfire was human-caused. Any information about suspicious activity near the fire origin, around Dutch Harbor on the Fourth of July, should be directed to Alan Lawson DNR Fire Investigator at (509) 925-8510 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
A new fire (Twin Harbor Fire, six acres) was detected Monday, across Lake Chelan from the Prince Creek campground. This lightning fire was result from the storm that passed through the Chelan area on July 7th. The fire is burning is creeping and smoldering in the lower 1/3 of the slope through brush and timber. A hotshot crew and helicopters utilizing water drops will continue work the fire today.
Residents and visitors can expect to see smoke from the two fires until the area receives significant rain as interior islands of fuel continue to burn.
The public should continue to use care and caution with fire, especially around dry grass and brush.

Ski Holidays in Cortina
Cortina is one of the most elegant winter resorts in the world and the resort itself is based around the road called the Corso Italia which is known for its' designer boutiques.
The winter Olympics were held here in 1956 - it was minus 22 and before gortex and all the materials we know and use today had been invented!
Ski area of Cortina
The ski area is made up of different areas - beginners learn on the lower slopes of the Tofana area and then move onto one of the larger areas. The main cable car from the centre of town takes you up to the Faloria ski area which overlooks the resorts. The slopes here are a mixture of mainly blues and reds with a few blacks thrown in for good measure - if you're looking for a more challenging ski then you should head over to Cristallo
On the south facing side is the Tofane ski area reached by the Freccia nel Cielo cable car near the Olympic stadium in the resort centre and further along is the Cinque Torre area which you can access using the free ski bus. This is the starting point for the longest slope in the Dolomites - the Armetarola. Altogether Cortina has 140km of slopes and is also part of the Sella Ronda which has a total of 1200km of skiing - to access this, all you need is the super dolomite lift pass
Doing More in Cortina
Every year on the frozen over lake at Misurina there is the polo as part of the Audi polo Gold Cup Circuit. In the Punta Nera Challenge - skiers go up by helicopter to the Faloria refuge and then descend the mountain performing jumps of more than 50m - a great spectator sport! On the Giau pass you will see people snowkiting - a sport which started in France but has quickly spread to other areas (see doingmore for details of the dates for this event).
There's ice driving in Fiames, snowshoeing, tobogganing - see doing more
Throughout December there are about 20 stalls along the Corso Italia which make up the Christmas market - stalls include the chocolate fair with workshops, chocolate tasting and a chocolomarket.....there are others but these certainly enhance a delicious holiday experience at Christmas time.

A successful ghost hunt often brings unexpected surprises—lights flickering on and off, unexplained noises, a phantom scent or two. The last thing you want on a serious hunt is a crew member who brings along surprises of their own. An often overlooked step in preparation for a paranormal investigation is the selection of people to bring along.
Before you step foot in a haunted place, you should have a good idea of what to expect, and this holds true for the people hunting with you. In a perfect world, this would not be an issue, but we are all human. The attitudes of your fellow ghost hunters and how well their personalities mesh can make the difference between a fruitful search and a complete bust.
For example, does everyone on your investigating team believe in ghosts? This may sound like a silly question, but it is a valid concern. Their level of belief can also be a factor. Oddly enough, I have found that the more strongly a person wants to experience something paranormal, the more his or her presence can be detrimental to the hunt. Here's why:
If you have someone along who I like to call a "True Believer," someone who is convinced not only of the existence of ghosts but who also holds a disdain for any skepticism at all, well…that person may wind up being trouble. Sometimes a sudden flash of light is just a car passing by, and sometimes that odd sound really is the house settling. The True Believer has the tendency to assign any and all activity to the paranormal—and in all honesty, that is practically never the case, even in the most haunted of locations. It can defeat your purpose if too many folks along for the ride insist that every speck of dust is an orb, every shadow an apparition.
The True Believer's polar opposite is the Proud Skeptic. This is the type of person who is convinced the paranormal is 100% bunk, and by-golly nothing short of an act of Congress is going to persuade them otherwise. Though it can be entertaining to have such a person be proven wrong during an investigation, their presence can cast a negative pall. I have been told by other investigators that having a Proud Skeptic along can even keep paranormal occurrences from happening, their brassbound attitude acting as a blocking agent. In all fairness, though, I have also heard that a strong skeptical attitude can convince the spirits to act out even more, almost as an act of rebellion against the skeptic. Your results may vary.
Simply put, you want to assemble a ghost hunting crew that strikes a sensible balance somewhere between the True Believer and the Proud Skeptic. The members of your group should be aware of perfectly normal phenomena that are often mistaken for paranormal activity. They should also be able to accept an occurrence as spirit activity after all other possibilities have been eliminated. In short, you want your fellow ghost hunters to be flexible and open-minded, and at the same time sharp enough to tell the wind apart from a banshee.
Finally, the members of your crew should get along. This affects your team as a whole; if there is tension between two or more of you, it can spread over the entire team. Additionally, some believe that personal tensions can taint the paranormal atmosphere, in much the same manner as I described when discussing the Proud Skeptic. I like to use the term "psychic poison" in such a situation when toxic vibes or auras are present. Depending on the circumstances, it can dampen or eliminate activity in a location, or potentially invite more negative or malevolent energy. Neither is a desirable outcome.
Your investigation should be an enjoyable and productive experience. Assembling a well-balanced crew of hunters will help make that happen.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Actor and beloved comedian Robin Williams died Monday at the age of 63 of an apparent suicide due to asphyxia, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office in Tiburon, CA.
Williams' spokeswoman Mara Buxbaum said that the actor/comedian had recently been "battling severe depression" and that his death is a "tragic and sudden loss".
Buxbaum asked that the family's privacy be respected as "they grieve during this very difficult time."
Williams' wife, Susan Schneider, added that she was "utterly heartbroken", but hoped that the "the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."
The Chicago-born comedian first became famous in the 70's for his role on the TV series, "Mork and Mindy", a spinoff from "Happy Days". He then parlayed his comedic genius to more serious roles on the big screen, winning an Academy Award in 1998 for best supporting actor in the film "Good Will Hunting". He also enjoyed box office success in other movies, including "Good Morning, Vietnam", "Dead Poets Society" and "The Fisher King".
Williams' most recent role was starring in the TV comedy "The Crazy Ones" on CBS.
This past July, Williams was reported to have entered into rehab at the Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center in Minnesota for an alleged "tune-up" in an effort to maintain his sobriety, which he had successfully managed to do for years after previously battling problems with substance abuse and addiction for decades.
The following statement regarding the actor's death was released by the Marin County Coroner Division:
"On August 11, 2014, at approximately 11:55 am, Marin County Communications received a 9-1-1 telephone call reporting a male adult had been located unconscious and not breathing inside his residence in unincorporated Tiburon, CA. The Sheriff's Office, as well as the Tiburon Fire Department and Southern Marin Fire Protection District were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at 12:00 pm. The male subject, pronounced deceased at 12:02 pm has been identified as Robin McLaurin Williams, a 63 year old resident of unincorporated Tiburon, CA.
An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff's Office. Preliminary information developed during the investigation indicates Mr. Williams was last seen alive at his residence, where he resides with his wife, at approximately 10:00 pm on August 10, 2014. Mr. Williams was located this morning shortly before the 9-1-1 call was placed to Marin County Communications. At this time, the Sheriff's Office Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made. A forensic examination is currently scheduled for August 12, 2014 with subsequent toxicology testing to be conducted."
Robin Williams is survived by his third wife, who he married in 2011, as well as his three children: son Zachary, 31; daughter Zelda, 25; and son Cody, 22.
In 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked suicide as the 10th leading cause of death among Americans aged 10 years and older, accounting for 36,891 deaths.

Have you ordered lots of doubles of photos you've taken, and are wondering what to do with the extras? Use them for a matching game. Depending on your child's age and interest, you can start with just a few pairs, or increase the amount. For even more matching fun, find some photos of people depicted full-length, and cut them in half so there's a torso on one half and legs on the other. Mix them up and see if your child can match the bodies back together!

College Hockey:Cup Crazy: Raiders Earn ECAC Title With Win Over SLU
HAMILTON, N.Y. — Picked to finish eighth in the ECAC by hockey pundits, Colgate proved its doubters wrong, holding the Cleary Cup high after a 3-2 win over St. Lawrence on Saturday night at Starr Rink.
The Raiders entered the weekend needing only two points to clinch first place in the league. After Clarkson upset Colgate with a 1-0 blanking on Friday night, however, the ECAC regular-season championship remained in jeopardy.
"It's unbelievable," said Colgate captain Rob Brown. "We've been working so hard throughout the year to get this far, and to finally clinch it was amazing. After last night we thought, 'Oh, geez, we'd better pick it up.' We did, and we came out on top. It's a great feeling."
Colgate (19-10-5, 14-6-2 ECAC) reversed fate on Saturday night and finished with a victory on Senior Night. The senior class has come full circle from its first year, when the Raiders finished with only 10 wins and out of the ECAC playoffs.
"I came in here and we didn't even make the playoffs," said Brown. "We've just been building up ever since then. I'm looking to put the icing on the cake in the playoffs here and take it all."
Held scoreless by the Golden Knights the night before, Colgate failed to find twine in the opening period against St. Lawrence as well. The Saints controlled play for most of the period before surrendering a few chances in the waning minutes of the opening frame. Goaltender Mike McKenna kept the Raiders off the scoreboard and his team's fading home-ice hopes alive.
"The key is to keep at it and stay on the grind," said Raider Jon Smyth. "That's what we did in the second period and we just kept working on it. We knew it was going to be a long night with a lot of battling, and we just tried to hang in there."
Eerily resembling the previous night, Colgate allowed St. Lawrence (11-19-6, 7-12-3) to score first. T.J. Trevelyan buried a rebound power-play goal to give his team a 1-0 lead three minutes into the middle period. The Raider bench flashed back 24 hours when Clarkson scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in much the same fashion.
"The mood was better than against Clarkson," said Brown. "We knew we could come back. Everyone just had to relax and play our game. We pulled together and pulled through."
"Everyone on the bench felt we had to find a way to adjust and turn the tide," head coach Stan Moore added. "Last night I think there was an air of despondency, and that really prevailed throughout the night. We were wishing and praying for goals instead of getting behind it. Tonight we got stronger earlier and forced St. Lawrence to lose their composure a bit."
Sure enough, the Raiders and ECAC leading scorer Jon Smyth tallied their first goal of the weekend to tie the game. Adam Mitchell sprang Smyth on a breakaway with a seeing-eye lead pass which the sophomore deposited between the legs of McKenna.
"It was a tremendous pass by Adam. I saw it coming, but I didn't think it would get to me because there were a lot of sticks in the way," said Smyth. "When it finally did I just tried to get my feet moving. I made a move, noticed he opened up his legs a little bit and just slid it through."
Jon Smyth, who finished the night with a pair of goals, continued his surprise season. The sophomore, who scored only two goals in his freshman year, reached 21 goals and 39 points on the evening.
"Jonny puts the puck in the net," said Brown. "He's one of our big scorers, and I don't know how he does it. He uses his wheels, he has great vision… he's got everything."
Ryan Smyth's power-play goal late in the second period gave the Raiders a 2-1 lead after two. Colgate entered the game 15-0-0 when leading after two frames, and extended its streak against the Saints. Jon Smyth's second goal of the night, again coming on a breakaway, put the game out of reach for St. Lawrence.
Stace Page's extra-attacker goal was part of a comeback attempt that came up just short for the Saints, and the Raiders earned the Cleary Cup for the first time since 1990.
"Everyone talks at the beginning of the year about winning a championship and being in first place," said interim head coach Moore, who will be considered for his second ECAC Coach of the Year honor in three years. "I believe that this year we worked really hard at getting our players to adhere to a step-by-step process.
"It's always been about the process. The process is critical to any product you produce, and our process has been maintaining a level of consistency equal to the level of play that we wanted to play at."
For St. Lawrence, the loss eliminated the chance for a first-round home playoff series. The Saints will travel to Yale next week as the ECAC second season kicks into gear.
Colgate, meanwhile, faces a week off with a bye. Like most teams at the end of a long season, the Raiders suffer from injuries and must deal with midterms and other considerations.
The players are anxious to get some rest before preparing for their quarterfinal opponent.
"The first thing is to get healthy," said Smyth. "It's been a grind for the last couple of weeks, and we're looking forward to the rest. Once we get the video going hopefully we'll be nice and relaxed and set to go."

Audio: 1 CD Set
From the beginning, God provided man with Power and Authority. Many think these two are one and the same–but they are not.
The Bible clearly distinguishes two realities of Jesus by which the people marveled: the power He displayed and the authority He carried. Many in the Church seek power. Few seek authority.
If you are a Christian who is bored with your walk with the Lord, you probably have never experienced God's kingdom power and authority in your life!
In this dynamic teaching, John Paul shares how every believer has the ability to develop a special relationship with their Heavenly Father, and obtain through submission more of His kingdom power and authority flowing in their lives. He explores how authority will ignite you to proactively take dominion over all powers that are counterproductive to God's purpose for your life.
It's time for you to live a life that displays both the power and authority of the Kingdom. Find out how, in Power and Authority!

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Artemis Racing AC72 member Andrew "Bart" Simpson has died. The Swedish Artemis Racing yacht AC72 for the America's Cup 2013 capsized today. Andrew "Bart" Simpson was found dead after the tragedy. A second member, unnamed currently, survived after suffering injuries, officials tell news.
In a news statement, America's Cup confirmed Simpson's passing today May 9, 2013 shortly before 3:30 pm PST. "It is with immense sadness that Artemis Racing confirms the tragic death of crewmember Andrew "Bart" Simpson today in San Francisco." CEO Paul Cayard said in a news statement thereafter "The entire Artemis Racing team is devastated by what happened. Our heartfelt condolences are with Andrew's wife and family"
Shortly after 1 pm PST America's Cup had told news "Artemis Racing capsize AC72 during training. Support boats on scene to assist in recovery. Updates to come." Coast Guard responded. But by 2 pm, local fire confirmed one fatality. Twelve persons were on board when the boat capsized. Reports claim that Simpson became submerged for ten minutes during the tragedy today.
Last October, Oracle Team USA's boat capsized also in San Francisco. The America's Cup is set to began in July. Today was a training session in the San Francisco Bay.

In terms of women, CBS will be the Mary Tyler less network next fall
The network of comedy legends Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Burnett will be notably lower on estrogen this fall.
That's what happens when you cancel four series fronted by female stars and replace them with a quartet of male-centric new shows plus a sitcom with both sexes in its title.
Here's what happened when CBS announced its new schedule last month.
The network parted ways with Ghost Whisperer (starring Jennifer Love Hewitt); Cold Case (in which Kathryn Morris played principal sleuth Lilly Rush); The New Adventures of Old Christine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the lead) and Accidentally On Purpose (Jenna Elfman at the top of the marquee).
Meanwhile, CBS added series topped by William Shatner ($#! My Dad Says); Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg (Blue Bloods); Jim Belulshi and Jerry O'Connell (The Defenders) and Alex O'Loughlin (a new version of Hawaii Five-O).
Its fifth new fall series, Mike & Molly, stars relative newcomers Billy Gardell and Melissa McCarthy as a working class couple who fall in love at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.
That leaves CBS with just two remaining series built on the strength of their lead female characters. Medium, starring Patricia Arquette, was imported from NBC last season. And The Good Wife will return for a second season with Julianna Margulies in the starring role.
CBS' other prime-time series have women characters in their ensembles. But they're not sold to viewers on that basis. And the network's lone announced midseason series, a Criminal Minds spinoff, will be headed by Forest Whitaker and include just one woman among its principal four FBI operatives.
Oddly enough, CBS' entertainment president is Nina Tassler, which doesn't seem to figure in the favor of her gender at the moment. On the other hand, the network with by far the most female-dominant series is ABC, whose chief programmer is Stephen McPherson.
ABC has two returning comedies, Cougar Town and The Middle, which respectively star Courteney Cox and Patricia Heaton. Its returning dramas include Grey's Anatomy (starring Ellen Pompeo); the spinoff Private Practice (Kate Walsh); Desperate Housewives (Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, etc.) and Brothers & Sisters (Sally Field, Calista Flockhart).
There's also a new ABC drama series, Body of Proof, with Dana Delany in the lead as a crime-solving medical examiner and Jeri Ryan as her top aide. And V, scheduled to return in midseason, is paced by Elizabeth Mitchell and Morena Baccarin. Supernanny will be returning at a later date, too.
NBC will have two new fall series -- Chase and Love Bites -- with women as the principal leads. So will the CW, with Nikita and Hellcats.
Fox, traditionally a more male-dominated outlet, is the only Big 5 broadcaster without a single series built principally around a dominant female star or stars. But Glee, Bones and Fringe certainly give their women characters plenty to do.
CBS stands alone, though, as the network with the most drastically altered persona. Going into the new season, it's the network of Two and a Half Men -- and then some.
One Response to "In terms of women, CBS will be the Mary Tyler less network next fall"
I've about had it with CBS anyway. I only watch Medium and The Good Wife regularly anymore. The rest have gotten old and stale. it appears that the programmers have as well.

Elated and proud Argentines massed at the Buenos Aires cathedral Wednesday to celebrate the election of the former cardinal Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis.
When the news broke from the Vatican, the roughly 200 worshippers who were attending mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral, which overlooks the historic Plaza de Mayo, gave the new pontiff a rousing standing ovation.
The crowd grew and media crews quickly rushed to the area outside the cathedral where Francis used to give mass as archbishop of Buenos Aires and primate of Argentina.
"I am very happy, and very surprised because I did not expect this," Mariano Solis, 33, told AFP outside the majestic building.
"Even when we saw the white smoke on television, we thought the Brazilian or Italian candidate would win," Solis said, referring to Sao Paulo archbishop Odilo Scherer and Milan archbishop Angelo Scola.
"I was headed to the movies with a friend, but when we found out, we headed straight for the cathedral to be with our people."
Solis was one of many who participated in a recitation of the rosary to pray for Francis. The faithful embraced each other and shed emotional tears on the square.
"I am surprised; I did not think they would elect Bergoglio. He is the first Latin American pope and that is going to be a huge plus for the region," said Gaston Hall, 37, a publicist who described himself as a practicing Catholic.
Even the official Church in Argentina was taken by surprise, according to spokesman Federico Wals.
"Bergoglio traveled peacefully" to the Vatican to participate in the conclave to elect a new pope, Wals said inside the cathedral, adding he had a return ticket booked for next week.
The church was so convinced that its own would not be named that it had already advertised Bergoglio's presence at mass on Easter Sunday, the spokesman said.
Claudio Bonani, 42, a businessman from Brazil who rushed to the church upon learning the news, predicted that Bergoglio would have a "great papacy."
Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner, who is Catholic but does not have a warm personal relationship with the pontiff, hailed his election as the first pope from Latin America, and wished him great success.
"We wish him, as he takes the reins of the Church, a fruitful pastoral mission, with such tremendous responsibility on his shoulders, seeking justice, equality, brotherhood and peace among mankind," she said in a statement.
Bergoglio, elected to lead the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, is a humble rail worker's son who became a Jesuit priest and is seen as true to his working class roots.
"He is a simple man, and he has a lot of compassion for those who are most in need," said monsignor Eduardo Garcia, the auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires.

The U.S. war against the spread of communism seemed to justify an ugly alliance with the dictatorial government of Indonesia.
" ... The chances of detection or subsequent revelation of our support in this instance are as minimal as any black bag operation can be."
Communist suspects are rounded up.
Ambassadors of Western nations courted Suharto, seeking influence with the man who would go on to kill millions of his own people.

"The Army with the help of Youth Organizations and other anti-Communist elements has continued systematic drive to destroy PKI in northern Sumatra with wholesale killings reported."
Suharto's systematic destruction of the Communist party.

"From 50 to 100 PKI members were being killed every night in East and Central Java by civilian anti-Communist troops with the blessing of the Army."
December 1, 1965
Marshall Green, U.S. Ambassador, Jakarta
State Department, Washington
"This is to confirm my earlier concurrence that we provide ... fifty million rupiahs for the activities of the Kap-Gestaup movement. ... This army inspired but civilian staffed action group is still carrying the burden of current repressive efforts targeted against PKI, particularly in central Java. ... The chances of detection or subsequent revelation of our support in this instance are as minimal as any black bag operation can be."
April 15, 1966
Marshall Green, U.S. Ambassador, Jakarta
State Department, Washington
"The problem is the impossibility of weighing the countervailing effects of exaggeration ... and the interests of people involved to cover up their crimes. The truth can never be known. Even the Indonesian government has only a vague idea of the truth. We frankly do not know whether the real figure is closer to 100,000 or 1,000,000 but we believe it wiser to err on the side of the lower estimates, especially when questioned by the press."
August 10, 1966
U.S. Embassy, Jakarta
State Department, Washington
"A sanitized version of these lists [of PKI leaders] ... has been made available to the Indonesian Government last December ... and is apparently being used by security authorities who seem to lack even the simplest overt information on PKI leadership. Lists of other officials in the PKI affiliates ... were also provided to officials at their request."
These documents show that the U.S. State Department was aware of the scope of the killings, and they reveal in detail how the U.S. Ambassador encouraged and supported the destruction of the Indonesian Communist Party with both financial backing and intelligence.
No one knows how many people were ultimately killed. Estimates range from half a million to two or even three million. The truth may never be known.
Other results are more tangible. General Suharto completely destroyed the Communist Party in Indonesia and seized control of the Indonesian government. On March 27, 1968, he was officially elected President of Indonesia, a position he would maintain with an iron fist for the next 32 years. Under Suharto's authority, Indonesia quickly made peace with Malaysia and rejoined the United Nations. And General Suharto's government received generous military support and financial assistance from the United States for the next three decades.
