Curator Timothy J. Standring, the mastermind behind the Denver Art Museum's Becoming Van Gogh exhibit, visited Frisco the other day.
A snowboarder who makes regular pilgrimages to the slopes, the energetic 62-year-old is no stranger to Summit County. He's also no stranger to travel. To put together the exhibit at Denver Art Museum, Standring traveled around the world for nearly five years in order to convince owners and caretakers of rare pieces that Becoming Van Gogh was worth it.
"I had to tread lightly, especially with European curators," said Standring. "They are serious gatekeepers and will only look at serious propositions that add to serious scholarship in order to take the risk to send works to Denver, Colorado."
He traveled to some museums and lenders as many as 3-8 times and succeeded in procuring nearly 90 works from 60 lending entities and 12 countries for the exhibit.
"We had a lot of fun doing it," Standring said, while admitting to experiencing "some dark moments" while waiting for loans to come in. "We had to think strategically about obtaining levels of critical mass that would then snowball," he said.
Becoming Van Gogh pieces together a timeline of the artist's development, charting his path to "becoming" Vincent Van Gogh as we know him.
"He always drew, but he wasn't very good at the beginning; he was very crude," Standring said. "If he had done nothing past 'The Potato Eaters,' he wouldn't have been in the art history books."
Instead, the artist systematically pursued his own education, outside of art school, to develop his expertise.
"'Becoming' is the perfect title," Standring said. "We've got somebody who decided, 'I need to learn painting,' so he stopped drawing. "He said, 'I really need to know something more about color.' Then he goes back to drawing and begins to combine mark making with color in an extraordinary way. Maybe artists with less genius wouldn't have expended as much energy as he did in order to win and solve these artistic problems as he moved through his career."
The exhibit itself was an act of becoming. The idea came to Standring in 2006 after he read "A Year in the Life of Shakespeare" by James Shapiro, which inspired him to pursue an exhibit tracing a year in the life of Van Gogh. Before long, however, it became apparent that one year wouldn't do the trick - so it became two, centering on Van Gogh's years in Paris.
Many curators organize art shows by geography, but the more time Standring spent in his "scholarly cave," it also became apparent that one location - the Netherlands, for example - provided invaluable context for Van Gogh's artistic development in the next - Paris. And so Standring discovered the timeline of what he calls Van Gogh's "self-taught excellence outside of art school," after which "the curators decided to open the floodgates to allow works from his entire career."
"It's a misunderstanding to organize his career by geography; the whole thing is a pretty seamless continuum over 10 years," Standring said. Instead of "Van Gogh in Paris," the exhibition would be: Becoming Van Gogh.
The conceptual shift took place three and a half years ago, near the midway point of the exhibit's development. "That was the shift that got people on board," Standring said.
A timeline that focuses on firsts in the artist's life with respect to art-making, the exhibit traces Van Gogh's efforts from learning to draw and learning the human figure to mastering expressive color and painting techniques, Standring said. It recognizes the aesthetic potential of Japanese woodblock prints and includes a work painted two weeks before the artist was shot.
"We didn't just go for any works, we went after specific ones to take you through his artistic journey," said Ashley Pritchard, communications manager for the DAM. The exhibit features 70 works by Van Gogh, with an additional 20 works by other artists who Van Gogh responded to, Standring said.
People mistakenly ask "Why Denver?" - but Becoming Van Gogh is not a traveling exhibit. "We created the Van Gogh show," Standring said. "It is the culmination of six years of work. We didn't pay fees to borrow works of art. We don't even have a Van Gogh museum in Denver."
As to the allure of Van Gogh's work, Standring said: "There's something about the unfinished quality of his art that causes us to activate the mind, and in some odd way, he just hits our core in his ability to express emotions so keenly and directly."
"I found that he had a great deal of intuitive energy that he brought to bear on his progressing artistic decisions," Standring said. "This is the first exhibit that really examines how he went about making art with intentional decisions."

Which Rate Stats Correlate More With a Player's Role Than His Skill?
Posted by Neil Paine on July 9, 2011
Here's a quick-n-dirty study I ran this morning... The idea is this:
Some stats seem to be more correlated with a player's role than his actual skill. Take a player out of the role, plug another similar player in, the new player produces just like the old one (and the old one can't "take the stats with him" to his new destination).
How can we quantify this, though? Well, let's identify players whose circumstances changed. I took every team since 1978 and assigned its players to 10 "roles" -- primary PG, backup PG, primary SG, etc. -- based on my detailed position file and where the players ranked on the team in terms of minutes played. I then isolated every player in that sample who:
- Played at least 500 minutes in back-to-back seasons
- Was between age 24 and 34 in back-to-back seasons (to filter out potential aging effects)
- Moved to a new "role"
- Was replacing a player who played >= 500 MP in the role and was between age 24 and 34 the previous season
This leaves us with 1,866 player-seasons to look at. For each of those, I need to know which predicts the player's performance in Year Y better -- his own stats from Year Y-1, or the Year Y-1 stats of the player whose role he took?

OAKLAND -- Jon Lester may have no bigger fan in baseball than Billy Beane.
Proof was forthcoming Thursday morning when the A's general manager broke up the middle of the top-scoring lineup in baseball by sending left fielder Yoenis Cespedes to the Boston Red Sox for Lester, a starting pitcher Beane calls a "true No. 1 starter."
The A's prided themselves on having three No. 1s in Jeff Samardzija, Scott Kazmir and Sonny Gray. When Lester was added, they all took half a step back.
"It was all about Jon Lester," Beane said. "He's one of the best at his position. He's a legitimate No. 1 starter, and those guys are hard to come by at any time."
The acquisition of Lester, who was 4-1 in the postseason last year including two wins in the World Series, could be seen as setting up the A's for a deep run into the playoffs.
Beane, whose team has the best record in baseball (66-41) but only a two-game edge in the American League West over the Angels (64-43), the team with the second-best record, said that wasn't it at all.
"Respectfully, we've got a lot of work to do to win this division," he said. "It's pretty well documented he's pretty good at his position. And he's pitched in the biggest game of the year. But we've got to make it through the division.''
Beane said he wanted to do everything he could to make sure the A's win the West and not have to win a one-game wild card playoff to advance. Baseball being baseball, anything can happen in one game.
"It's really easy not to look ahead," he said. "You want to win the division. You want to avoid a one-game playoff situation. You want to get out of that one game."
Lester is a free agent at the end of the season, and probably will be too pricey for Oakland. A lifer in the Red Sox organization, he said last week he'd be open to re-signing with Boston in the offseason.
In a tweet to thank the Boston fans, Lester said, " ... excited to contribute to a very talented Athletics team.''
On the other side, Cespedes' contract is up after the 2015 season, and it's unlikely Oakland would have had the wherewithal to bring him back, That meant trading one of the club's most visible players became a real option.
The A's also got former Oakland outfielder Jonny Gomes and about $1 million back from Boston, then later in the day shipped minor league starter Tommy Milone to Minnesota for center fielder Sam Fuld, who began this season with the A's. Fuld will play center until Coco Crisp (neck) and Craig Gentry (broken right hand) return. Gomes will be in a left field platoon with Stephen Vogt.
While Vogt and Gomes together likely won't produce the same power numbers (17 homers, 67 RBIs) Cespedes did, both are near-.400 on-base percentage guys, Gomes against left-handed pitching and Vogt against right-handers. The A's would like to believe that kind of on-base presence means their overall offense won't drop off too much.
A's catcher Derek Norris said he understood the thinking of a deal that cost Cespedes, a strong-armed outfielder who was hitting .256.
"Cespy is a great player," Norris said. "Obviously, Billy wanted to shore up the back end of the rotation. And we got a couple of good clubhouse guys.''
Gomes in 2012 and Fuld this spring both were popular with their teammates in Oakland. And Lester always has been among the most popular of the Red Sox pitchers.
"Billy saw some opportunities to shift people in the outfield," Norris said. "Billy's known for setting off some fireworks. And he's solidified some holes.''
A's owner Lew Wolff said the club is better now than before the trades.
"I'm very pleased at what we've done," Wolff told this newspaper. "It's all been well thought out by Billy and his people. It will be exciting for the fans.
"It's difficult to have somebody leave. Yoenis is a terrific person. But we have traded something quite good for something quite good that we're getting back. And we're getting Sam Fuld, a player we never wanted to give up.''
Lester, Gomes and Fuld will be in Oakland uniforms on Friday. Lester will get his first start with the A's on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals.
Lester ranks second all time with a 0.43 ERA in the World Series. He was 3-0 in helping Boston to two titles (2007, 2013).
The A's had a .635 winning percentage (228-131) in games that Cespedes started over his two-plus seasons.

Irving'e karşı Lipstadt

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents

(d) Chaim Weizmann's alleged 'declaration of war' on Germany in 1939>
1. In his Pleadings to the court, Irving claims that Deborah Lipstadt in her book Denying the Holocaust presented him as a historian 'who has inexplicably misled academic historians like Ernst Nolte into quoting historically invalid points contained in his writings and who applauds the internment of the Jews in Nazi concentration camps'.33 This too relates to the argument, pursued in various places by Irving, that the Jews were in some way responsible for their own misfortunes in the 'Third Reich'. However, it has a special status because it is a specific subject of dispute between the Plaintiff and the Second Defendant in the present case. Let us first examine the comments by Deborah Lipstadt to which Irving objects.
2. In her book, Lipstadt refers to Irving and Nolte in two different instances. First, she argues that the German historian Ernst Nolte used a declaration given by the Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann at the outbreak of war in 1939, in which Weizmann pledged that the Jews would fight on the side of the democracies, to argue that Hitler had 'good reason' to be convinced that his enemies wanted to annihilate him. Lipstadt continues:
When Nolte was criticized on this point in light of prewar Nazi persecution of Jews, he said that he was only quoting David Irving, the right-wing writer of historical works. How quoting Irving justified using such a historically invalid point remains unexplained, unless one wishes to see it as a reflection of Nolte's personal predilections. As we shall see in subsequent chapters, Irving...has become a Holocaust denier.34
3. Lipstadt comes back to this point briefly at a later stage in her book where she argues: 'As we have seen above, Nolte, echoing David Irving, argues that the Nazi "internment" of Jews was justified because of Chaim Weizmann's September 1939 declaration that the Jews of the world would fight Nazism.'35
4. These statements by Lipstadt include three distinct elements: first, that Nolte claims to have drawn in his argument on the works on David Irving; second, that the interpretation by Nolte and Irving of Weizmann's letter as a declaration of war by the Jews of the world against Germany is historically invalid; third, that Nolte (and Irving) regard the declaration by Weizmann as justifying the Nazi 'internment' of the Jews. We will first turn to the interpretation of the Weizmann note by David Irving. In a passage in the English edition of Hitler's War (1977), Irving writes:
Now, in September 1939, Hitler was upon the verge of world war. And Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the president of the Jewish Agency, had written to Neville Chamberlain promising explicitly that all Jews everywhere stood by him and would fight on the side of the democracies against Nazi Germany. The Times published Weizmann's letter on September 6, and Hitler no doubt considered it an unorthodox Jewish declaration of war. He often referred to it in later years.36
5. Irving reprinted this passage almost unchanged in his 1991 edition of Hitler's War. One of the few changes is that Irving now argued that Hitler 'no doubt considered it a Jewish declaration of war' - thus Irving has cut the word 'unorthodox' when referring to the Weizmann document.37
6. Irving first referred to the Weizmann note in the German edition of Hitler's War, published in 1975, the version which was apparently later used by Nolte. Here, Irving's account is crucially different from his later versions. In his subsequent books, Irving argues that it was Hitler who saw the note as a declaration of war. But this qualification is missing in the 1975 account. Here, it is Irving who describes the note as a declaration of war. Thus, Irving writes that in September 1939
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the President of the Jewish Agency, had underlined 'most emphatically' in a letter to the British government that all Jews, wherever they might be, stood behind Chamberlain and would fight on the side of the democracies against Hitler. This open declaration of war certainly reached Hitler's cognisance when The Times published the letter on 6 September, for he based his statement in the summer of 1942 that World Jewry was Enemy Number 1 on it.38
7. These claims by Irving were later taken up Ernst Nolte, a retired professor of modern history in Berlin, specialising in the history of fascism. In recent years, Nolte has moved increasingly to the right-wing fringe of the German historical profession. For instance, in an interview with Der Spiegel, Nolte argued in 1994 that radical right-wing thought should be supported and that there had been various positive elements and tendencies within National Socialism.39 Nevertheless, in the past Nolte has distanced himself from Irving's claim that Hitler was not informed of the extermination of the Jews:
The thesis of David Irving is astonishing not least because in Fuhrer und Reichskanzler he himself reported on the basis of Himmler's interview notes that Himmler was obliged to report to Hitler on 19 November 1939 on the 'shooting of 380 Jews in Ostro'. The idea that he was not obliged to report two years later on the planned and in part already executed killing of millions is just absurd.40
8. Nolte also characterised Irving as a holocaust denier. In his 1993 book Streitpunkte, he argued that Irving, after joining the group around the Journal of Historical Review , 'then came more and more to the conviction that the whole final solution as a programme of systematic extermination was an invention of British propaganda.'41
9. However, Nolte did draw on Irving's interpretation of the Weizmann note. He first referred to it*'in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in 1980 and then in a contribution to a volume edited by the historian H.W. Koch and published in 1985. In this essay, Nolte discussed various books on Nazi Germany, including the (as he called it) 'revisionist' book Hitler's War (German edition 1975) by David Irving. Nolte argued that while Irving's general aim was 'undisguisedly a vindication of Hitler',
not all of Irving's theses and references can be set aside so easily...it can hardly be denied that Hitler had good reasons to be convinced of his enemies' determination to annihilate him much earlier than when the first information about Auschwitz came to the knowledge of the world. The 1940 pamphlet 'Germany must perish' by Theodore N. Kaufman has often been mentioned in the literature, but I do not remember seeing it in any of the more important German books I have read about Chaim Weizmann's official declaration in the first days of September 1939, according to which Jews in the world would fight on the side of England. Anyway, I have to reproach myself for not knowing this statement in 1963 and not having made use of it, although it can be found in the Archiv der Gegenwart of 1939, and it might justify the consequential thesis that Hitler was allowed to treat German Jews as prisoners of war and by this means to intern them...42
10. Here Nolte acknowledges that it was Irving who first brought his attention to the Weizmann note. He repeats this point in several of his later articles and interviews, when challenged about his interpretation of the Weizmann note. In October 1986, he tried to distance himself from David Irving's thesis that Weizmann's note 'was to be regarded as a kind of declaration of war'.403 Nolte now denied that he had accepted this thesis; he had only wanted to discuss it.44 As he explained in an interview on 17 April 1987 with the Israeli newspaper Ha-Aretz: 'Certain statements by Irving are to be regarded as wrong on logical grounds. Of other statements this can not be said, they must be discussed, they require debate.'45 Nevertheless, Nolte clearly continued to be sympathetic to Irving's interpretation, and has come back to it several times in recent years. For instance, in 1994 he argued that Chaim Weizmann's statement might indeed be interpreted as a 'declaration of war against the German Reich' by the Jews.46
11. Nolte is here taking over an element in the Holocaust denial arsenal of arguments that make the Jews responsible for their own fate under the 'Third Reich'. Let us look at the origins and background of Weizmann's note of 1939. Chaim Weizmann was the President of the World Zionist Organisation, as well as the Leader of the Jewish Agency for Palestine. He took part in the Zionist Congress, which opened on 16 August 1939 in Geneva, and wound up on 25 August under the impression of an impending war. He returned to London, and on 29 August 1939, he sent the following letter to Prime Minister Chamberlain, which was later, on 6 September, published in the Times:
In this hour of supreme crisis, the consciousness that the Jews have a contribution to make to the defence of sacred values impels me to write this letter. I wish to confirm, in the most explicit manner, the declaration which I and my colleagues have made during the last months, and especially in the last week: that the Jews "stand by Great Britain and will fight on the side of the democracies."
Our urgent desire is to give effect to these declarations. We wish to do so in a way entirely consonant with the general scheme of British action, and therefore would place ourselves, in matters big and small, under the co-ordinating direction of His Majesty's Government. The Jewish Agency is ready to enter into immediate arrangements for utilising Jewish man-power, technical ability, resources etc.
The Jewish Agency has recently had differences in the political field with the Mandatory Power. We would like these differences to give way before the greater and more pressing necessities of the time.
We ask you to accept this declaration in the spirit in which it is made.47
12. Weizmann's offer to use Jewish manpower and technical ability in the war effort, probably with the aim of forming a Jewish army, 'met with an icy response from the outset'.48 Chamberlain did not commit himself in his reply on 2 September. He stated that he noted with pleasure that 'Britain can rely upon the whole-hearted cooperation of the Jewish Agency. You will not expect me to say more at this stage than that your public-spirited assurances and welcome aid will be kept in mind.'49 He refused to go any further than this.
13. This was thus something rather less than a declaration of war. Moreover, in issuing his letter, Weizmann was not claiming to speak for 'all Jews everywhere', as Irving suggests. As is clear from the letter to Chamberlain, Weizmann in the first place spoke on behalf of the 'Jewish Agency', a representative body of the 'World Zionist Organisation' in Palestine.50 Weizmann also mentioned in the letter the support for Britain by his 'colleagues' in the World Zionist Organisation. However, this organisation in 1939 only comprised around 6% of all Jews living in the world, and only a small fraction of German Jews, very many of whom opposed the idea of Zionism.51 Just before the Nazi seizure of power, only around 20,000 of Germany's 500,000 Jews were members of the German Zionist Association (Zionistische Vereinigung für Deutschland).52 The idea that Weizmann was in any way a leader of world Jewry in 1939 belongs solely to the fantasy world of antisemitic conspiracy theory.
14. Quite apart from the fact that Weizmann could only claim to speak for a small minority of Jews, neither he, nor the World Zionist Organisation, nor the 'Jewish Agency' was in any position to declare war on Germany. The notion that Zionist pressure groups, without territory, army, government or international recognition, could somehow act as a sovereign state with the ability to declare war according to international law, has been widely dismissed by serious historians.53 One also ought to note that Weizmann wrote the letter to Chamberlain before the outbreak of the war, on 29 August 1939, and not after, as Nolte states and Irving implies, or in other words, at a time when no sovereign state had so far issued a declaration of war. Chamberlain, as has already been pointed out, also did not see the letter as a declaration of war on Germany.
15. Irving's interpretation of the Weizmann note as a 'declaration of war' was first advanced by the Nazis themselves as a justification for their murderous conduct during the war. Thus Hitler declared on 24 July 1942 thatIrving's claim that Weizmann's statement was a declaration of war, as well as his equation of Zionism with all Jews living in the world, are both taken straight from Hitler himself.
In this Second World War as a struggle for life and death it must never be forgotten that following the declaration of war of the World Zionist Congress and its leader Chaim Weizmann (in his message to England's Prime Minister Chamberlain), World Jewry is the unrelenting opponent of National Socialism, the enemy Number 1.54
16. After the Second World War, like other claims made by the Nazis, the argument was soon again taken up by right-wing propagandists, Nazi apologists and Holocaust deniers. Irving was by no means the first writer in the post-war period to claim that Weizmann's statement amounted to a declaration of war. In June 1963, a Hamburg Professor of Psychology, Peter Robert Hofstätter argued in an article for the weekly paper Die Zeit that one might be able to describe the Jews exterminated in the 'final solution' as victims who had fallen in the war declared against them by the Nazis. Hofstätter used this argument to call for some kind of amnesty for Nazi criminals, as their crimes had in reality been acts of war, ordered by the Commander of the German troops, Adolf Hitler. In the following months, a heated debate ensued in Germany about Hofstätter's claims. In a letter to the National-Zeitung on 16.8.1963, Hofstätter argued that Hitler and the NS state had 'quasi declared war on the Jews'. In an interview with the magazine Der Spiegel in September 1963, Hofstätter linked Hitler's supposed declaration of war against the Jews (in particular focusing on the Reichtstag speech of 30 January 1939) with Weizmann's letter of 1939 to Chamberlain. Hofstätter declared that he was convinced 'that there was a declaration of war on the German Reich by Chaim Weismann in August 1939.'55 Other commentators in the 1960s used Hofstätter's arguments to advance their claims that the Jews and the 'Third Reich' had been in a state of war, so the Jews were partly responsible for the Final Solution.56 Since the 1960s, the Weizmann note has become a fixed part of the literature put out by revisionists and Holocaust deniers.57
17. Nolte also argued that Weizmann's statement, as a declaration of war, could be used to justify the internment of Jews by the Nazis, a point he had first made in 1985. Thus, he commented that Weizmann's statement 'might justify the consequential thesis that Hitler was allowed to treat German Jews as prisoners of war and by this means to intern them.'58 Nolte again claimed that this interpretation was based on Irving's work. In 1987 Nolte commented on the Weizmann note that 'this statement possibly, as Irving also hints, justifies Hitler interning the German Jews as civil internees, just as it is well known that the French interned the Germans and the English the Germans on the outbreak of war.'59 Nolte repeatedly drew attention to what he described as Irving's thesis that 'Chaim Weizmann's letter to Chamberlain at the beginning of September 1939 is possibly to be regarded as a kind of declaration of war which gave Hitler the right to intern the German Jews as enemy aliens.'60 'Internment', as has been pointed out, 'is far too mild a word for the harsh, brutal, and eventually murderous discrimination meted out to Jews by the Nazis', long before Weizmann even wrote his letter.61 From 1941 onwards, Jews were not treated as 'civil internees' by the Nazis, but gassed, shot and starved to death. And in any case, extreme measures had been taken against them by the Nazis well before the outbreak of war, including the deprivation of citizenship and incarceration of large numbers of them in concentration camps in 1938.
18. Nolte provides no footnotes for his assertion that he based his argument on suggestions made by Irving. As no corresponding argument can be found in Irving's book Hitler's War, it would seem as if Nolte was wrong in attributing this argument to Irving. There is, however, no indication that Irving ever wrote to Nolte to object to this misrepresentation. On the contrary, Irving himself later endorsed Nolte's interpretation. Thus, in 1995, Irving described the Weizmann statement of 1939 as a 'crucial error because - as Professor Ernst Nolte and some other historians have argued - it somewhat justified what the Nazis then did to the Jews: the Jews declared war on Germany and Germany declared war on the Jews'.62 One should note that Irving goes much further than Nolte. Nolte had argued that Weizmann's note might justify the internment in some form of the Jews living in Nazi controlled territory. Irving, however, speaks of the note somewhat justifying 'what the Nazis then did to the Jews'.
19. By inference, this includes not only imprisonment, but also, for example, the mass murder of Soviet Jews by SS task forces from late June 1941 onwards, which Irving accepts as historical fact. Thus, Irving attaches a far wider significance to the Weizmann note than Nolte had done. Also, he presents the supposed German declaration of war against the Jews as a consequence of the Weizmann note, ignoring the years of persecution of Jews since 1933 at the hands of the Nazis and also ignoring Hitler's public threats on the Reichstag of 30 January 1939.
20. Lipstadt's claim that Nolte echoed Irving's argument that Weizmann's declaration justified the Nazi 'internment' of Jews is therefore not quite correct. She repeats Nolte's claim that he had relied on Irving's work, yet it seems that Irving had not made this particular claim about the 'internment' of the Jews at the time at which Nolte wrote his article. However, it is difficult to see the grounds on which Irving can object to Lipstadt's allegation. His claim that the Weizmann letter was an 'open declaration of war' on Germany by the Jews was indeed taken over by Nolte. He has never written to Nolte to complain about the latter's use of his work to justify the 'internment' of the Jews, or repudiated this view in public. Indeed, he has subsequently attached an even greater significance to the Weizmann note than Nolte has, implying that it justified not only the 'internment' of Jews but also their murder.

George Clooney's "The Monuments Men" is an entirely respectable film. And that's why it's a disappointment.
With all the talent involved, the charismatic filmmaker's latest should be exceptional. As it is, the star-studded "Men" is bland, a missed opportunity to be something better.
The premise is certainly unbeatable, recounting the valiant actions of a band of art appreciators and scholars who heroically ventured onto the front lines to save masterworks from the Nazis during World War II. These seven academics-turned-soldiers risked their lives in an attempt to retrieve countless influential pieces from the clutches of the Nazis and the art-loving Fuhrer, who planned to build a museum out of his stolen goods. They also worked with the Allies to try to prevent other pieces and sculptures from being destroyed in the heat of battle. What they managed to save is remarkable.
There's a thrilling cinematic experience to be had out of can't-miss material like that. But while "Monuments Men" lights a few sparks here and there, it fails to catch fire.
Clooney, who also co-wrote, directed and co-produced, plays Frank Stokes, the leader of the group. Stokes, an art historian, has the ear of FDR and convinces him to greenlight an unlikely team of nonsoldiers, including an architect (Bill Murray, a scene stealer), on an art-saving mission. After a bit of basic training, they arrive in Europe in the hopes of curbing the destruction of pieces and historical structures and rescuing art that's been looted by the Nazis.
Other top-brass actors enlisted to play members on Stokes' team include Oscar-winners Jean Dujardin and Matt Damon, along with John Goodman, Bob Balaban and Hugh Bonneville. In a small but pivotal role, Cate Blanchett, another Oscar winner, plays Claire Simone, a wary French art curator who's observed much and knows even more. As usual, Blanchett makes good use of every moment she's on screen.
But despite these good performances and a few outstanding scenes -- from a smartly done interrogation sequence to a somber one in which the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" evokes the bitter reality of a soldier's life -- "The Monuments Men" feels routine. Other times, it comes off uneven, as it inserts rote and flat comedy into drama.
Clooney says he viewed "Monuments" not as a war picture, but a heist film. And that might be part of the problem -- this just isn't the right subject matter for another "Oceans" lark.
What "Men" does possess is a commendable passion for expressing how important art is to every culture, a subject thoroughly warranting our attention and applause. Unfortunately, there are so many speeches and conversations that the topic gets restated, reframed and repurposed over and over. We get it.
That and the fluctuating tone point to problems with the screenplay, co-written by Clooney and frequent collaborator Grant Heslov. Unlike their right-on-target "Good Night, and Good Luck," this adaptation of the praised book by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter takes more of a fictional approach, creating characters with different identities and storylines than the real "Monuments Men." To be fair, the duo did this out of respect for the real characters, which is a noble gesture.
In fact, "The Monuments Men" has many good intentions. It's just unfortunate that it didn't have more spirit and a steady sense of what it should be.

BULK RATE U.S. POSTAGE PAID ST. IGNATIUS, MONTANA PERMIT NO. 1 59865 VOLUME 8 NUMBER 11 MOON OF THE HALF SUMMER-HALF AUTUMN OCTOBER 1, 1978 Sulfuric Acid Kills Fish (In Finley Creek) The derailment of a Burlington Northern freight train shortly before noon on Sept. 20th between Evaro and Arlee created a chain of hazardous and alarming events. Over a thousand fish, mostly trout, were killed in Finely Creek by 8: p.m. the same day, from sulfuric acid contamination. Thirty-two of the 78-car train bound for Spokane derailed, causing extensive damage and the demolishing of most of the wrecked cars, cargo and tracks. No one was injured. Seepage of sulfuric acid down a steep embankment entered Finley Creek and the devastating concentrate resulted in what has been declared "a total fish-kill" and extending three miles downstream from the derailment. However, the effects from the acid in Finley Creek was considered lethal to aquatic life and fish as far as Arlee. It was feared the pollution might reach both the Jocko and Flathead Rivers. It was estimated that approximately 5,000 gallons of sulfuric acid spilled from an over-turned tank. Other cargo containing cement, asphalt chips, grain and coking coal also spilled from derailed cars. No estimate of the damage and loss, nor the cause of the derailment has been determined as of this writing. Railroad officials felt that the cause of the derailment may never be known, due to badly torn up tracks and surrounding debris. ATTENTION - TRIBAL MEMBERS The fourth Quarterly Council Meeting will be held at the Arlee Community Center on October 6th. It is scheduled to start at 9:AM. Crews spent long hours replacing about 300 yards of tracks. By Thursday (21st) evening, the track was re-opened and ready for traffic. The demolished cars and debris surrounding the wreckage has not been completely cleared away. Shortly after the derailment and the sulfuric acid seepage was noticed, residents along Finley Creek were warned through radio Kerr and by officials who contacted the residents personally. Due to the deadly acid infiltrating the creek, it was declared unsafe for personal use or as a water-source for surrounding livestock, etc. School bus-drivers were requested to warn their young passengers of the danger. Residents along Finley Creek were concerned of the acid entering their wells also. It was feared by owners and operators of fish hatcheries, that their ponds would be affected and they made preparations immediately after the alarm to save their fish. Officials and personnel from Burlington Northern, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Indian Public Health, Missoula Countys' Civil Defense and numerous other officials met Thursday (Sept. 21st) to discuss the situation and determine necessary action in preventing further damage. Tribal officials expressed grave concern over the far-reaching effect the contamination could have on aquatic,, wildlife and water-fowl habitat. Council Chairman "Bearhead" Swaney said that studies will be conducted to evaluate the damage and determine the possible future pollution or consequences of the Finley Creek, Jocko and Flathead drainage. Chairman Swaney and Tribal Secretary, Doug Allard, have indicated that restitution for the present damage and any future damage will be sought from Burlington Northern.

San Ramon Valley High senior kicker Matt Anderson, the guy with the golden left foot, has picked a complicated time to become a Cal football player.
On Nov. 20, the day Anderson went to Cal to begin planning his schedule, he was upset to learn that Cal coach Jeff Tedford and special teams coach Jeff Genyk had been fired.
"I had a meeting that day with my academic adviser to try to pick out classes and stuff, and it just happened to be the day that everything came down, and so it was a very somber atmosphere," said Anderson, who will graduate early and start at Cal on about Jan. 21.
Can you even imagine?
"I had heard the news that Tedford had been let go earlier that morning while I was at my house," Anderson said. "When I got there I learned that the special teams coach had been let go, too. It kind of hit me hard at first ... Honestly, I still love Cal the school. You choose where you want to go based on the university, but I'd formed a great bond with coach Genyk the past six months. I'd talk to him every week, and so it was a little tough at first."
No matter who the next coaches are Cal, the Bears will be getting a big time talent in Anderson.
A student of his craft with thunderous power, Anderson will participate in the California State All-Star Game in Visalia on Dec. 22 and the U.S. Semper Fidelis All-American Game on Jan. 4 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, representing the West.
In the North Coast Section Division I quarterfinals, he boomed a kickoff to the back of the end zone from the Wolves' 35-yard line in a driving rainstorm against Amador Valley.
He's had multiple 75-yard kickoffs. He also booted a 43-yard field goal against Antioch in the first round of the NCS playoffs.
"He's just a phenomenal kicker, the way the ball goes off his foot," San Ramon Valley coach Mark Kessler said. "He's extremely accurate."
Anderson will join two ex-Wolves at Cal -- quarterback Zach Kline and long snapper John Sheperdson. Cal junior James Langford, a Foothill graduate and a transfer from Cal Poly, is also in the Bears' place-kicking mix.
Over the summer Anderson outkicked two of the nation's other top recruits, Auburn-bound Daniel Carlson and Boston- College-bound Michael Geiger, at Cal kicking camps to land his scholarship.
"Since the beginning of the summer I've just been really confident with all my kicking," Anderson said. Anderson also was named overall camp champion at the Chris Sailer Kicking Camp. He has been tutored by Sailer, a noted kicking guru.
Moreover, Kessler said that Anderson "really grew" this year in how he interacted with his teammates. Anderson has been spending time in the weight room lately as well.
"I'm excited get to these all-star games and to get to Cal and start kicking with the team and the new coaching staff and see where that goes," Anderson said.
FOOTHILL HITTING STRIDE: It's been seven seasons since the Foothill boys soccer team made the NCS Division I playoffs, but the Falcons are showing signs of a big turnaround. Foothill took first place in the Winter Soccer Classic Gold Division with a 4-0 win over Deer Valley on Dec. 1.
"This is a huge win," Foothill coach Jason Wescott said. "I'm very excited for the boys. They're working hard, they're excited and they're starting to buy in. We're looking forward to the season to see what we can do."
MOVING UP: Foothill girls lacrosse star Laura Klein has signed with Stanford. Monte Vista softball player Kristen Clark (UC Santa Barbara) and Athenian baseball ace Cameron Cotton of Danville (Cal Poly) have also signed. Klein earned US Lacrosse All-American, Academic All-American and All-East Bay Athletic League first-team honors. She also plays for the BearLax Lacrosse Club. Clark was an outfielder and a first-team all-EBAL pick last spring. Cotton hit .369 and was 5-3 with a 1.12 ERA last spring. He also struck out 59 and walked 16 in 50 innings.

Dog Hoodies and Sweatshirts
Hoodies for Dogs are a very popular item come Fall and Winter. They are available in many different colors, shapes, sizes, and thickness so that you can customize what you need for your dog. Dog Hoodies are great for keeping your dog warm on cooler days. They also provide extra protection to your dog's neck, head, and ears.
My dog won't wear the hood, what should I do?
Most dogs will not be used to a hood the first time you put it on and will fight to take it off. It is foreign to them to have something on their head. Start slowly, but only have it on and giving them a lot of treats and praise. Gradually increase the time your dog is wearing the hood and eventually, they will love wearing the hoodie and the warm and protection it provides.
There are two reasons that people generally purchase clothes and fashion for their dogs. The first reason is functionality – in the winter, dogs get cold just like we do. Hence, dog owners often turn to dog clothing like trousers and hoodies to keep their dogs warm as they're out in the cold. The other reason that people turn to dog fashion is of course, fashion! Fashion designers of the highest ranking and from all over the world are now getting involved with dog fashion, creating products that reflect modern human fashions. Some people refer these as sweatshirts for dog with hoods. The doggie sweatshirt will become a winter time favorite for your puppy.
One of the latest products in dog fashion, which we can offer you in abundance, is dog hoodies. Popular hooded sweaters that are worn by young and old alike are now being created specifically for dogs. A hoodie for dogs is a fantastic solution for the winter, if not, the very best solution. Hoodies for dogs keep your dog's body warm, and also allows you to keep their head dry if it begins to rain. The hood provides insulation and protection against the elements, for small dogs and large dogs alike.
What's more, we even offer puppy hoodies. A small hoodie is perhaps more useful than for older dogs. This is because your puppy will be affected more by the elements, and is more susceptible to the cold. Your puppy will be kept warm and cozy as it's out learning about the world and learning to walk on a lead. Not only that, but your puppy will be out and about wearing the latest fashion from across the globe.
We offer a wide range of different hoodies for your dogs. We believe that just because hoodies for puppies and dogs are functional, doesn't mean that they have to be boring. Our hoodies are fashioned according to latest trends and fashion concepts, and are inspired by top designers from all over the world.
Hoodies also come with a wide range of graphics and messages on them, in an equally wide range of colors that can reflect and compliment your dog's coloring.

Your friends and neighbors will smile when they see your puppies playing in their puppy hoodies. They're the perfect addition to your dog's wardrobe, and could even match your own style! So if you're a fashion person and you're looking for warm and comfortable clothes for your dogs, look no further. We have everything you need right under one virtual roof. Just take a look round and you'll be sure to find something that fits your requirements.


text: Hi, not new to slimfast but new to this thread. I was previously on weight watchers but that's not been going so well. I had my beautiful daughter over a year ago and since then my weight has just been creeping up. I really want to lose the weight and felt slim fast is what I needed to kick start myself. My plan is to do slim fast for at least 2 weeks and then move on to calorie counting. I am very active and work out 6 days a week doing kettlebell workouts, but even with this the scales haven't budged. Really hoping to see some results with slim fast. Ideally I would love to lose 20lbs before the end of may as I am going on a family holiday but in the long term I want to get down to at least 10 stone to be healthy fit my little girl and to be healthy for planning baby number 2. Sorry but of an essay. Today was a bit of a blip. Started of with my slim fast shake but then spent the day out with mother in law and she took us to Toby carvery. I decided that lunch would be my big meal, I've worked it out at 800 calories to be on the safe side, I made sure to eat very slowly and ended up putting what I didn't eat on my husband's plate. I also split my meal with my little girl. Dinner was a small 200 cal leftover meal I had made and potioned out then put in the freezer. I'm hoping tomorrow is a much better day. Ifn you haven't got bored and are still reading this thank you, I will be sure to update as regularly as I can. Sorry i posted this in another part of the slim fast forum too.

ALAMEDA -- When you've gone through what D.J. Hayden has to make it to this point, a sore hamstring isn't about to slow you down.
So it was that Raiders first-round draft pick D.J. Hayden practiced through his injury Saturday and looked none the worse as evidenced by a couple of pass breakups.
"Oh, man, it felt so great just to get back out there, put the helmet back on and just actually be on the field," said Hayden, a speedy cornerback.
Hayden had a brush with death last November when he suffered a ruptured vein that feeds blood from his lower body to his heart in a practice at the University of Houston.
Most people die from such an injury, according to medical experts. Some place the fatality rate as high as 95 percent.
Yet, on Saturday Hayden showed no lingering effects from the scary injury.
"I don't even think about it," Hayden said of the injury in which a teammate's knee drilled him in the midsection while defending a pass over the middle. "The only time I think about is when somebody asks me. But when I'm on the field, I don't think about that. I think about the play and about the coverage that I'm in. I put it past me."
On one play, Hayden broke on a pass by quarterback Tyler Wilson, reached back and deflected the pass a split second before it arrived at the intended target.
In keeping with his nature, Hayden downplayed the positive and dwelled on what he failed to accomplish.
"When I made the little play, I was happy," Hayden said. "I should have caught it but there's always room for improvement."
The Raiders selected Hayden with the 12th overall pick of the NFL draft in April. General manager Reggie McKenzie said the Raiders were so high on Hayden that they would have used the No. 3 pick on him if they hadn't traded down to 12.
Coach Dennis Allen said he has been impressed by Hayden's play the first two days of the team's three-day rookie mini camp.
"I'm pleased with where D.J.'s at," Allen said. "Again, it's going to be a learning process. It's putting one foot in front of the other. When it comes time to play games this September I think he'll be ready to roll."

A Pocono Mountain West High School student is heading to Monroe County Court on charges of trying to sexually assault a female student in a school bathroom June 10.
Alonzo McGill Jr., 19, identified by authorities as living in Jonas, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday before Pocono Pines District Judge Richard Claypool. Free after bail had been posted for him, the stoic McGill stared straight ahead, not answering reporters' questions, as he and another man walked to a car after appearing in district court.
At about 10:45 a.m. June 10, a school hall monitor checked a girls bathroom and found McGill trying to sexually assault the victim, Pocono Mountain Regional Police said. The hall monitor got the female student to safety and contacted police.
McGill was disorderly and defiant to school staff trying to investigate the incident, police said. He later tried resisting arrest, but was taken into custody, police said.
McGill is charged with attempted indecent exposure, indecent exposure, false imprisonment and open lewdness. He will appear at a future date in county court.

ALAMEDA -- William Shakespeare has been discovered living in Alameda.
He's been found along with Ebenezer Scrooge, "The Tempest's" Prospero, Nick Bottom from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and a honey bee who once was a second-grader -- and is now a distant memory in the mind of Donald Hardy.
The 54-year old actor, writer, and director moved from the East Coast to Alameda after falling in love with the Bay Area during a holiday visit in 1997.
"I woke up one morning and decided I wanted to live on a sailboat," he said.
Hardy isn't alone, but he certainly stands out in following through with his dream.
"I bought a boat in Oakland, found a slip in Alameda, sent out my resumé," he said.
The dotcom boom provided him with work opportunities. After bouncing around, he landed at CBRE, the commerical real estate services firm, where he is a project manager, relying on his architectural background to organize the movement of 10 to 1,000 people and supplies, from tables to technology, in Silicon Valley's high-tech arena.
But the work that moves Hardy -- stirring his spirit and spinning his days and nights into a whirlwind of contrasting responsibilities -- happens on far different stages.
Classic theatrical roles populate his alternative occupation; as Shakespeare at Bay Area Renaissance Faires, as a host of characters in Concord's Butterfield 8 Theater Company productions; and this season, at the Great Dickens Christmas Fair, playing Scrooge at Cow Palace.
"A friend said, 'They're auditioning for a new Scrooge, let's go. You're perfect for it!' which I thought was either an acting compliment or not a good thing," he laughed.
Too busy to prepare, Hardy did a "cold reading" at the audition. Asked to improvise in character, he relied on skills developed at Renaissance Faires.
"When I am Shakespeare, I perform as the character. I present skits to the queen, I use period-accurate tools, I answer people's questions in character," he explained.
"Once, a man asked me if I thought the pen I was using was the same kind they used for the Declaration of Independence," he said. "I had to fudge the answer -- to mask the fact I'd been dead for 400 years."
There's no faking the language of Shakespeare and Hardy is grateful for musical training that helps the words flow, although he finds the amount of words daunting.
"Sometimes I've reached the end of a (Shakespearean) speech and thought, 'How can someone say all those words?' "
Recently, Hardy decided to give up his love for the water -- but not his beloved adopted town. Alameda is a real city, he insisted, with neighborhoods, beautiful homes and a lively, small-town, a middle-America feel.
"But after 11 years of not being able to stand up straight on rainy days when I was in the hold of my boat, I was ready to move," he said. "Besides, I had so many books, I was in danger of sinking."
Coming off a successful gig directing "Pride and Prejudice" at Butterfield 8, Hardy is working on writing two books while rehearsing for his darker-than-a-bee star turn as Scrooge.
"I'm driven by the text to discover who Scrooge is," he said. "I'm finding he was a remarkably sensitive man. I'm floored. I've always gone with the idea that he didn't change until he saw he was about to die. Instead, he has regret from the moment he sees the first ghost."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, May 10, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. -- The Roaring '20s comes roaring back to the big screen with Friday's premiere of "The Great Gatsby." The movie is also putting an Aiken family and a local hotel back in the spotlight.
For Tommy Hitchcock and the Willcox Inn, the story is more about history than it is fiction. It was a time of extravagant parties, famous families and polo.
"The Great Gatsby" may be set in New York, but there's also a Southern connection. Aiken was known as "The Winter Colony" for wealthy families, who came here to party and to play.
In the Roaring '20s, The Willcox saw it all.
Aiken Historian Elliott Levy knows the story well. He's head of the Aiken County Museum.
"Aiken was called The Newport of the South," Levy said. "It was where the rich and powerful people came. Within a 20-mile radius of where we are right now, you had 90 percent of the power in the United States."
And as Geoff Ellis explains, The Willcox was at the center of it all.
"And it really turned into such a wonderful place where people could congregate, you know, sit around the piano and have those wonderful parties that F. Scott Fitzgerald talked about," Ellis said. "It all happened here, which is really incredible."
Ellis co-owns The Willcox with his wife, Shannon. The hotel itself dates back to 1898 and owes a debt to a well known local family -- the Hitchcocks.
"Tommy Hitchcock, who was one of the best polo players in the world, and his mother actually helped finance this building and helped finance The Willcox," Ellis said.
And there's another Gatsby connection you need to know about Hitchcock. He really did head to France to become the youngest Allied pilot in World War I and really was a world class polo player. Hitchcock became the inspiration for the fictional Tom Buchanan.
Ellis says there is a big difference in the two men.
"But he actually identified he character in the book as a villain. That was more F. Scott Fitzgerald putting that in the character. I really wanted to make that distinction because Tommy Hitchcock was such a great Southern gentleman."
Levy agrees that Fitzgerald took some liberties in transforming Hitchcock into Buchanan.
"And he knows how to treat his friends and he knows how to treat his business associates and his social contacts. He is not a bad, evil person," Levy said.
At one point in the film, one of the characters tries to tell Jay Gatsby that you can't repeat the past. His simple answer is this: "Why of course you can ..."
And so, with all of its connections, The Willcox is getting ready to repeat the past and throw another party.
"And we're doing a Great Gatsby theme, so we will have the 1920s jazz going, everybody will be in costume," Ellis said.
In other words, just like old times.
"The Great Gatsby" is in theaters everywhere on Friday. The party at the Willcox in Aiken is on Monday, and $5 per person goes to their favorite charity, The Children's Place.

Shifting Out of Neutral
In 2005 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) changed the Internet's designation from telecommunication services to information services, lifting non-discrimination requirements on Internet service providers (ISPs). Since then, a debate has simmered over the Internet's fundamental neutrality.
The notion of the Internet as a neutral space stems from the fact that no single transmission has priority over any other transmission and that ISPs cannot discriminate against any transmission by slowing or restricting it; traffic from all content providers (CPs) is treated equally. For example, traffic generated by a search in Google takes the same time to travel through the system and has the same priority level as traffic generated by a startup search engine running in a garage.
In the eyes of neutrality advocates, the Internet breeds entrepreneurial equalization and innovation: anyone can put up a website to promote a concept, product or service and easily place it within reach of a worldwide audience. For those who hold this view, the Internet's neutral default is its essence, and is central to its success.
On the other side of the debate is a group mainly represented by ISPs and the telecom industry. These firms invest significant resources to introduce the physical network: digging trenches, laying optic fiber and cable, and going the costly last mile, where the signal from a large main cable must be split into a number of much smaller lines that fan out to individual users. And, maintaining and upgrading the infrastructure brings commensurate costs. For ISPs in the wireless market, investments are even bigger and recurrent because they need to buy rights to use the spectrum from the government at hefty prices, and airwaves offer limited capacity compared to the wired Internet. But ISPs and telecoms have little flexibility in the contracts they can offer to CPs. In their view they should be permitted to offer a greater variety of contract terms, such as charging higher rates for faster or more secure delivery, to recoup their investment. Others view the current Internet as neutral in a limited sense, because CPs with the deepest pockets can (and do), for example, strategically deploy server farms and contract with content distribution networks to reach consumers more quickly.
Connection quality — a connection's speed and priority among all users vying to connect through an ISP or telecom platform — is at the heart of the neutrality debate. CPs prefer high-quality platforms, which transmit data faster and are less likely to drop packets containing user data, because they allow CPs to collect more ad revenue than with low-quality ones. Of course, consumers also prefer high-quality platforms because these improve their Internet experience.
While the FCC's most recent moves suggest it will uphold key principles of neutrality, so far the agency has not imposed formal regulations, and the Internet's neutral future remains unclear. A recent joint proposal from Google and Verizon, which proposes more flexibility on neutrality principles, especially in the wireless market, has amplified the debate. While lawyers consider the contractual implications of a neutral versus a non-neutral Internet and engineers study technical considerations, others, including Professor Nicolás Stier-Moses and Professor Gabriel Weintraub are beginning to examine the pros and cons from an economic perspective. Internet stakeholders such as ISPs and CPs tend to view their interactions as a zero-sum game, but the researchers' work suggests otherwise.
In the current pricing scheme, Google generates a tremendous amount of web traffic but does not pay ISPs to deliver that traffic. Put simply, Google pays an ISP to get Internet access once. Because the Internet is a complex structure of interconnected ISPs and networks, another service provider may end up delivering the information to end users; this provider does not charge fees to Google. "A central issue in the net neutrality debate is whether ISPs, on the argument that such a great proportion of traffic is generated by a relatively small number of CPs, should be allowed to charge those CPs for access to consumers," Stier says.
To find out, Stier and Weintraub used principles of game theory to create a model that mimics a two-sided market for Internet access. In their model, an ISP or telecom platform receives payment streams on both the consumer side and the content side, so that platforms compete for consumer and CP fees.
When the researchers modeled investment in quality in the neutral scenario between two platforms they found that it is optimal for the platforms to maximally differentiate and segment the costumer market — in other words, for one platform to invest in infrastructure, improving quality and attracting customers (but also incurring higher costs related to establishing and maintaining quality) and for the other platform to invest as little as possible, attracting customers who will forsake a high-quality connection for low fees. If the low-quality platform were to increase its investment in quality, it could not attract enough additional customers to offset its spending. Should a high-quality platform invest less, it would lose too many customers to remain profitable.
In the non-neutral scenario of the Stier and Weintraub model, a platform can charge all CPs, not only those who connect directly to it, granting platforms monopoly power over access to their consumer bases. The ISPs become gatekeepers; CPs must navigate through ISPs to get access to their consumers. This presents a tremendous revenue opportunity and gives low-quality platforms a much bigger incentive to invest in quality. The low-quality platforms can charge higher prices to CPs, and this extra revenue offsets the inevitable loss on the consumer side, where the increase in platform quality drives up competition for consumers and pushes prices down.
Somewhat ironically, the model suggests that CPs will end up better off in a non-neutral scenario, because overall quality increases. "A poor connection to YouTube," Stier says, "is not worth much." As the overall Internet experience improves, users will consume more content, enabling CPs to benefit from higher ad revenue.
Consumers, too, would be better off because they would pay competitive rates for higher quality service. The only player in the non-neutral model that is worse off, the researchers found, is the high-quality platform, which faces more competition because the other platforms invest more, eroding its consumer base.
No model can fully mimic the complexity of real interactions between all stakeholders, so the researchers don't offer a strict prescription based on their work. But they believe their findings can help policymakers consider a full range of approaches to debate, particularly because it highlights how the incentives of stakeholders may be more aligned than it first appears. In addition, the prediction of the model that stakeholders would improve their welfare without net neutrality sheds some light on why in today's Internet we see de facto non-neutrality, since CPs employ costly solutions to improve the quality of their users' experiences.
The Stier and Weintraub model focuses on quality investment by ISPs. "We suspect that in some sense we would see similar results if we had explicitly modeled innovation investments by CPs," Stier says. "CPs and ISPs offer services that are complements to one another, so if CPs are given incentives to innovate, it's likely that ISPs would be better off."
"Ultimately, all stakeholders may have something to gain by conceding some ground," Weintraub says, and points to the Google-Verizon proposal. "The goal of their agreement is to simultaneously encourage investment in infrastructure with openness and innovation on the content side. Google's willingness to concede on neutrality principles demonstrates that a compromise may offer gains for both sides. The goal of the FCC should be to encourage investments, innovation, and competition in the CP and ISP markets, so that these gains translate into benefits for consumers as well."

Winter storms getting you down (and giving your kids the "crazies"?) Here are some great ways to stay entertained indoors – and outdoors – when the snow starts to fall:
Embrace the Snow!
When the snow starts to fall, you may not necessarily need to stay indoors! As long as it's safe (and not TOO cold outside), bundle the kids up for some snow and ice sensory fun.
1. Create a Snow & Ice Sensory Bin. Sensory bins are a great way to help focus and calm children, and let them truly explore their senses. To create your bin, go outside and gather snow into large plastic, see-through tubs. Fill the bins halfway with fresh snow, and add some scooping, measuring and pouring tools (raid those kitchen drawers!) Then, add some of your children's favorite plastic action figures and animals and pretend you're on a frozen exhibition! Just remember to keep extra gloves around: little hands can get cold easily when playing in the snow!
For more information on how to create an ice and snow sensory bin, click here.
2. Use Summer Toys for Winter Play! Another way to embrace snow is by taking your favorite beach or pool toys out into the snow! Have a sand cupcake or ice cream set? Substitute the sand with some snow and open up a "Sweet Snow Shop"!
Other outside toys that can be used for snow play? Here are a few:
– Your sand bucket and shovel (Dig around to see what's hidden underneath the freshly fallen snow! Gather snow to create a large "mountain" to jump in!)
– Grab a pair of binoculars and check out how neat the snow looks on the trees or other homes in your neighborhood. Ask your child to describe what's different about their surroundings.
– Play "Snow Kickball"! Running in the snow can be a challenge, but lead to lots of laughs! Grab a ball and start to kick, or throw it, around the yard! Try not to giggle when everyone starts to tumble in the fresh, soft snow!
Stay Warm Indoors!
3. Pretend Snow Sensory Fun
No snow by you? Too cold to go outside? Try this texturally interesting sensory "snow" bin to stay warm while bringing the excitement of snow play inside! Simply pour mashed potato flakes or dry oatmeal onto a baking pan or cookie sheet! Now that you have "snow," add blocks as buildings (Woah – the town is blanketed in snow!), a few vehicles, and some people. To simulate snow falling pour some "snow" through a sifter!
4. Color a winter scene! Gather up your arts and crafts supplies (the more the merrier) and set-up a "creative station". Using coloring sheets like the ones below, ask your child to decorate a winter scene! For more winter-themed printables, click here.
5. Make some sweet "Hot Chocolate"
While you're warming up some real hot chocolate for the kids, have them create a sweet treat of their own using this Hot Chocolate sensory craft! All you need is this printable, Hot Chocolate Mix, some glue, cotton balls and child-safe scissors! Let you child "top" the hot chocolate using the pretend marshmallows, and prepare to gobble up some "real" ones, too!
Get instructions for the hot chocolate printable here.

In response to KOMO's reports on a range of construction issues with the first six pontoons for the new 520 Bridge, WSDOT said Friday the cracking problems in particular are fixable. From Mike Lindblom at The Seattle Times:
Despite the discovery of cracks in the first batch of pontoons produced for a new Highway 520 floating bridge, state Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond said Friday she expects all six to be made watertight.
That includes the critical east endpiece, known as Pontoon W, which left the casting basin on Grays Harbor near Aberdeen on July 30 while water seeped through an exterior wall.
"I have no reason to believe we are going to reject pontoons, even W," Hammond said….
In followup inspections this week, by engineers for contractor Kiewit and the state Department of Transportation (DOT), Hammond said it appeared seeping had stopped on W — perhaps the wall is still curing and "apparently the concrete continues to heal."
Apparently the leaks were discovered before the pontoons were floated out of the casting basin in July. WSDOT, contractor Kiewit and their insurer decided it would be best to tow the pontoons to Lake Washington to make the necessary repairs:
The decision to release the pontoons from the basin, and fix them later, was in part motivated by a desire to make room for the second batch, Hammond said
The night the pontoons floated out, Ziegler and Hammond didn't mention the W cracks. Ziegler said there would be underwater inspections and patching if needed, before their trip to Seattle.
Kiewit-General-Manson changed strategy — choosing to tow them and make followup repairs in Seattle instead of leaving them exposed to saltwater and tides. The team got permission from insurer Lloyd's [of London] after it determined the pontoons would make the trip, DOT officials said.
There was no word in the Times report about missing steel rebar at the pontoon end joints or potential $90,000/day cost overruns.

Yeah, MAV is the best recon tool in my opinion. You can land it on a roof on Karkand or a crane on other maps and you get the same coverage all the way to the ground. It's especially useful on rush as a defender. If you are spotting the entire other team as they run in they really have no chance against the defenders.
It's also great on TDM. If you have a really organized opposition that sticks together, it's a great counter to show where the main enemy concentrations are located.
*edit: I don't have a problem with the purchase packages. When I bought BFBC2 during last summer's Steam sale, it was bear to level up against all the maxxed out players. Besides that, there are weapons at the lower level that I still use and find valuable (M416 v. FAMAS). Beyond that, I think knowing the maps is probably the most important part of playing for a while. I feel pretty comfortable in most of the B2K TDM maps, but put me in Rush and I'm a lost low score waiting to happen.

Whitney Port was the star of The City, so I'm told, and while she was frolicking around in what appears to be the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida, her bathing suit top mysteriously became unfastened as a camera man snapped photos from ashore. Port deftly managed to avoid further embarrassment by quickly throwing her hands over her breasts. The Daily Mail says that Port was wearing a "cream lace bandeau bikini" which we can all agree was clearly the culprit and not some rogue wave.
