USA, 2012, 103 Minute Running Time
Additional Countries: United Kingdom
Genre/Subjects: Based on a Book, ComedyLanguage: English
MUST END Thursday, December 20th!
35mm presentation - Beth Raymer (Rebecca Hall) is an intense, excited, beautiful girl with a huge heart who gives up stripping in Florida to realize her dream: to become a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas. When she doesn't land a job, she lucks into meeting Dink (Bruce Willis), an idiosyncratic sports gambler who sees potential and ability under Beth's bubbly exterior. Dink offers Beth a job placing wagers and working the phones, and his bet on Beth pays off -- she shows herself to be something of a gambling prodigy, and fast becomes Dink's good-luck charm. But something else seems to be happening between them, and it's not so professional...Enter Tulip (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Dink's understandably territorial ex-showgirl wife. Faced with no other choice but to fire Beth, Dink's luck runs out when she heads to New York to work for a rival, a bookie named Rosie (Vince Vaughn). When she follows Rosie into an operation that lands her squarely on the wrong side of the law, Dink and Tulip have to rally to help Beth save herself and finally grow up. With LAY THE FAVORITE, acclaimed director Stephen Frears nimbly displays his skill at creating a wicked weave of comedy and drama, creating a thrilling tale of gambling, romance, and improbable friendship found in the unlikeliest of places. From a script by D.V. DeVincentis (High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank), based upon the memoir of Beth Raymer. The film also stars Joshua Jackson and Laura Prepon.

St. James High School Athletic Director Les Zellmann recently received a prestigious award. Les received the State Award of Merit at the Minnesota Interscholastic Conference which was held in St. Cloud last month.
Each state organization gives one award every year. As a state winner Zellmann is eligible to become the overall merit award winner, which is selected by the National Interscholastic Athletics Administrators Association.
Les said it was, "Quite an honor to receive this award." He did not want this information to leak out. This past month he's been busy promoting his tennis team and his athletes and didn't mention the fact he won this award.
This state award has been given to one athletic director every year since 1988. Paul Krueger of St. James won the award in 1991.

BROOMFIELD, Colorado - For the last 14 years, Vail Resorts' Specialty Sports Venture has raised funds for local charities over the holidays with its Adopt-A-Cause campaign. Throughout Eagle County, this year's campaign benefits Foresight Ski Guides, a local nonprofit committed to providing challenging snow sports opportunities to visually impaired and blind skiers. Kicking off at Thanksgiving, local SSV stores have raised more than $10,000, with the campaign stretching through Jan. 6. Vail Resorts Echo, the company's sustainability program, will match 50 cents for every dollar donated.
This year's Adopt-A-Cause campaign takes place in more than 165 SSV retail and rental stores from San Francisco to the Rocky Mountains, and benefits 20 organizations. SSV employees in each region selected a local charity to partner with and are rallying customers to support their cause when making purchases at the stores. Last year's Adopt-A-Cause campaign generated $213,253 with the VR Echo match for 17 organizations.
Customers can support Foresight Ski Guides and the SSV Adopt-A-Cause program at the following stores through Jan. 6:
• Beaver Creek Sports.
• Vail Sports.
• One Track Mind.
• The North Face.
• Patagonia.
• Burton.
• Marmot.
• Quicksilver.

Man shoplifts Kindle from Best Buy
Published: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 7:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 7:15 p.m.
Police believe a man in a security guard uniform took an e-reader from Best Buy Wednesday.
According to an incident report, a loss prevention officer for the store told police that a bald, heavy set white man wearing a security guard uniform was seen on video surveillance coming into the store, going to the Kindle display and taking one before going into the restroom. The man exited the store with the Kindle concealed on his person, the report states.
Police planned to obtain the surveillance footage for further investigation, according to the report.

Hi Guys,
Im running PS3 Media Server on my i7 PC and it's wired to my PS3 via a gigabit powerline (but its an old PS3 so its only 10/100)
Everything works great but I do have a couple of blu-ray rips where it struggles with certain scenes, the bitrate appears to be 80+ when I look on the PS3.
I just wondered what the max bitrate was for a 10/100 network and if I upgrade to a PS3 Slim (which has a 10/100/1000 card) then will these issues be solved?
Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
Regarding the DVD vob playback being out of sync, I kind of found a way around it. Here are the steps
1. Start PSM.
2. Go to Transcode Settings > Common Transcode Settings > Audio Settings > Uncheck "Keep AC-3 tracks (no re-encode, may cause choppy sound and A/V sync issues in MEncoder) (AviSynth no supported)" check box.
3. Change the value of "AC-3 re-encoding audio bitrate (in Kbps)" to 384.
4. Restart PSM, and maybe your PS3 too.
This seems to work me over wireless. However it's not perfect, as there is some stuttering which is noticeable during playback. This could be my computer is not powerful enough or that its because of the wireless network, not sure.
If anyone has other solutions, it would be great to hear from you.

LONDON -- The 49ers are considering deals to extend the contracts of several young players, and that includes troubled linebacker Aldon Smith, general manager Trent Baalke said Friday.
"That's the ultimate goal," Baalke said in a 21/2-hour sit-down with 49ers beat writers. "At the same time, like every player, there's a lot of things that go into a long-term decision."
Smith will miss his fifth straight game Sunday after entering treatment following an alleged drunken driving accident. How Smith responds after his rehabilitation stint will factor into his long-term future with the 49ers, Baalke noted.
"It's like anything, you're developing that trust factor again," Baalke said. "We all understand, including Aldon, that situations like this have to be in the past."
Baalke insisted that there is no timeline for Smith's return but that the 49ers expect to meet with him in the coming couple weeks.
"Our ultimate goal hasn't changed: Help Aldon get back to a place he feels very comfortable and move forward in a very positive manner," Baalke said. "We're obviously hopeful (for a return after the Nov. 3 bye). At the same time, we're prepared for either outcome."
What must Smith show the 49ers to earn his return? "Progress," answered Baalke.
Among the players Baalke mentioned for potential contracts are Smith, quarterback Colin Kaepernick, left guard Mike Iupati and cornerback Tarell Brown. Kaepernick and Smith can't get new contracts until after this season, since they're third-year veterans. Brown lost out on a $2 million workout bonus before the season, and Baalke stated: "We're doing our best to make it right."
In addition to the call on Smith, Baalke knows he's facing some tough decisions in reshaping the roster over the next two weeks. While a big-time trade seems unlikely, the addition of three players off injured lists is mostly a foregone conclusion.
Wide receiver Mario Manningham, cornerback Eric Wright and defensive tackle Tank Carradine likely will join the 53-man roster by Nov. 5, but not in time for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Baalke said.
Wright's incoming addition to the cornerbacks corps means "these guys are all fighting for positions right now," Baalke said.
Baalke didn't say so, but it would seem that Nnamdi Asomugha, a healthy scratch in recent weeks, could be most expendable among that unit.
One bench-warmer who won't be leaving by Tuesday's trade deadline is running back LaMichael James.
"We're not interested in trading LaMichael," Baalke said. "LaMichael is a key player, and there will be a time, sooner or later, to (contribute)."
In terms of trading for a wideout, such a move is unlikely because of the expected returns of Manningham and eventually Michael Crabtree.
Finding an on-field complement to No. 1 wideout Anquan Boldin has been a struggle, although Baalke took exception to the notion the 49ers haven't found a No. 2 wideout in recent years.
That said, he's hoping Manningham will make an impact on a corps that also includes Kyle Williams, Jon Baldwin, Marlon Moore and injured rookie Quinton Patton. Moore was a healthy scratch last game, perhaps indicating he'll be waived to clear room for Manningham.
Carradine, a second-round draft pick, is coming along well from November's knee injury and has trimmed down to about 285 pounds, the 49ers' ideal weight for him.
"We certainly expect him to play a key role moving forward," Baalke said of Carradine. "How soon? That's up to the player. He'll be ready this year. He's missed a lot of football, and for a rookie, that complicates things."
As for the 49ers' 5-2 start, Baalke is especially proud of how the coaches and players have overcome a torrent of adversity. He declined to single out individuals, but it was easy tell how impressed he's been by Frank Gore and the run-oriented offense.
Baalke also had high praise for Boldin: "Certainly Anquan has proven his worth. There's no better professional in the NFL than 'Quan. He's a leader, a mentor and a great family man. He's a class act."
Whitner didn't have to risk reinjuring it on a muddy practice field Friday, at least. The 49ers moved their practice site from The Grove in the Hertfordshire countryside to Allianz Park, an artificial-turf field that's home to Saracens Rugby Club.
Whitner and the 49ers (5-2) are prepared, however, for encountering a potential slippery surface at Wembley Stadium, where they'll face the Jaguars (0-7).
"We'll deal with it and use longer cleats," Whitner said.
Harbaugh hoped to descend into Winston Churchill's war rooms, stating: "That would be one of the highlights of my life."

It's the town where dreams could become a reality. I always imagined some day making my fortune in America and moving to a small town with white picket fences, quaint restaurants, adorable stores and well-maintained parks just like this one.
As I drove into South Hadley, Massachusetts last Friday the sun shone brightly overhead, making the town from the offset sparkle with hope and beauty.
For a minute I was lost in the white washed houses, oversized gardens and expensive cars parked out front. As I drove slowly up Newton Street I opened the car window and turned off the radio. The air was fresh and I could hear the birds singing overhead as I crawled up the road.
And suddenly, as I glanced to my right, a dark cloud suddenly draped over my brief notions of South Hadley.
There it was; the school that an Irish girl, just like me, but half my age, was bullied relentlessly before she took her own life on January 14.
I pulled slowly into the school car park. It was early morning and the only sign of life was coming from the football field.
South Hadley High School where Phoebe Prince spent the final hours of her life being called horrific names such as "Irish slut" and "whore" was on spring recess but activities on the football pitch brought life to the place.
As I sat there for a few minutes trying to imagine what went on through those walls that caused Phoebe to hang herself, I became almost nauseated. I was lost in my emotions, anger, upset and confusion. The sound of car doors closing and engines roaring to my right caught my attention.
A group of girls, no more than 16 or 17 had finished up what appeared to be hockey practice and were going their separate ways, in top of the range SUVs. I felt slightly intimated by their confidence, their big cars and loud personalities.
After the crowd thinned out I approached two young women. Albeit friendly, when I told them who I was and what I wanted (their opinions on what happened to Phoebe) they cut me off and said, "We've been told not to talk to any media," said a taller girl, although not divulging who told her to remain mum.
I'd hit a dead end before I started.
I crawled back out onto the main road and was in front of Phoebe's home, the home she shared with her family after moving from Ireland last September within minutes.
The house, brightly painted white with elegant purple shutters, is also on Newton Street. It's a few hundred yards from the high school.
It struck me that Phoebe hadn't far to walk home from school, yet the day she died she was taunted on that very road by some of her school peers. They even went as far as throwing an energy drink at her.
It hurt to the core as I saw in my mind the beautiful Irish teenager walk through the front door and up the stairs to her death.
After a short prayer for her and her family I continued into the main strip in South Hadley. An impressive little village adorned with stores, restaurants and offices.
I had lunch with a mother and daughter teams who have been very vocal on the responsibility the school should be taking in Phoebe's bullying and were eager to share their opinions with the Irish Voice.
Erica Laughlin, 39, and her mother, Susan Clow, are beyond angry at the way school authorities have handled themselves in dealing with Phoebe's death.
Laughlin, a parent of four children, lives in South Hadley. However, her children attend school in the next town over.
There is a chance that next year her kids will be expected to attend South Hadley High School.
"This will not happen," said Laughlin.
"If it comes to that I'm ready to home school my kids," she said.
"There is no way I'm going to send them to South Hadley High."
Clow said South Hadley has a "culture of bullying.
"It's always been like this and people have turned a blind eye. If you don't fit in or wear a certain type of clothes then you are looked down on and bullied," said Clow.
Laughlin has attended all the school committee meetings to show solidarity for the few people in the town that are standing up to the South Hadley school authorities.
"I've been at meetings where several people stood up and spoke about the bullying of their own child," said Laughlin.
"But nothing has been done- Gus Sayer (schools superintendent) had neglected to do anything. It's a disgrace."
Clow said she would like to see the "school stand up" and taking responsibility.
"It would be nice to see adults in the school, morally coming forward and standing beside the kids who are being charged."
Both mother and daughter agree that although it's imperative the six students charged in relation to Phoebe's bullying should be punished they feel the South Hadley school authorities are hanging them out to dry.
"Their life is being ruined and the school is doing nothing to take responsibility," she said.

A 56-year-old Gravois Mills man is in custody after leading police on a high speed chase through Osage Beach. The name of the suspect has not been released pending charges.
The man was arrested shortly after 3 p.m. Friday in front of Hy-Vee in Prewitt's Pointe.
Osage Beach police officers were forced to use pepper spray on the suspect after he refused to get out of the van he was driving.
The suspect was taken to Lake Regional but later transferred to the Camden County Jail. According to police, the suspect had driven from Route KK across the west end of Osage Beach with his flashers and wipers on at speeds reaching 80 mph. Police in pursuit attempted to pull the van over near the Grand Glaize Bridge. After pulling over, the suspect took off and exited on to Passover Road. Once on Passover Road, the man took several detours through the Walmart Supercenter and McDonald's parking lots before exiting on to Highway 42 where he turned in to Prewitt's Pointe.
A golf club in the suspect's custody was taken from the scene of the arrest. Police were unable to confirm the involvement of civilians during the apprehension.

It's a day of change for Augusta as 38-year-old David "Deke" Copenhaver officially becomes mayor. News 12 shows us how the new mayor spent his first day in office.
It definitely was a busy day for Mayor Copenhaver. From the beginning he ran on a campaign promising change and now that he's in office, he says it's time to keep his word.
He's guaranteed just one year in office. Mayor Deke Copenhaver says that's reason enough to begin working right away.
"I can't promise the lowest property taxes or the best schools or the cleanest streets in Georgia overnight, but I believe the people will sacrifice to put our city back on the right track," Copenhaver said.
With his wife Malisa by his side, Copenhaver took the oath of office in Superior Court with dozens of local and state elected officials in attendance.
"What you will not hear from me is the blame game, how we got here is not important, it's where we go from here that makes all the difference," Copenhaver said.
The mayor's day started early Monday morning when he launched the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast, calling on local clergy to pray for racial healing in the city.
Right after being sworn in, the new mayor headed right to work attending committee meetings.
But many say the real test will be Tuesday when he's here leading the Augusta commission.
"I hope he'll stick with the time limit prescribed in the rules for speeches and we can get off some of the sermons and get on with what the people have sent us down here to do," said Roy Reardon.
Sitting in his new office, Copenhaver says he is prepared for the challenges ahead.
"I did a lot of studying over the past several days so I'm ready for it," Copenhaver said.

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have split up after three years of marriage.
A rep for Bloom told E! News "In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation. Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family."
For once, I would love to see a PR person release a statement saying "The split isn't amicable at all. They hate each other and are planning to have one of the nastiest court battles in the history of nasty court battles. They may even throw sharp objects at each other."
The 36-year-old British actor and the 30-year-old Australian Victoria's Secret model began dating in 2007. Kerr gave birth to their son, Flynn, on Jan. 6, 2011.
She and Bloom were last photographed together by the paparazzi on Oct. 8, according to the website. Their last public appearance was at the opening of "Romeo and Juliet" on Broadway on Sept. 19, in which Bloom is starring.
"When I saw Orlando on Broadway in 'Romeo and Juliet,' I was blown away," Kerr said in the November issue of Cosmopolitan. "For someone to be able to learn all that and hold the energy to do it every day, six days a week -- I have so much respect for him. We don't run lines though. We keep that very separate. That would be like me asking him to teach me how to catwalk."

PARKERSBURG - Thanksgiving is among the busiest holidays for travel.
AAA predicts 43.6 million American will travel at least 50 miles from home over the holiday, up .7 percent from last year.
The Parkersburg Police Department has already seen an increase in traffic and with the increase, comes more accidents, said Sgt. Greg Collins, a spokesman for the Parkersburg police.
"Aggressive driving is always an issue," he said. "If people would increase their following distance it would significantly decrease their likelihood of an accident."
Other significant causes of accidents are abrupt lane changes, speeding and failure to obey stop lights, he said. Officers advise drivers and passengers to wear seat belts and properly secure children because it is "absolutely a life-saving issue," Collins said.
Extra officers will be working roving DUI patrols and targeting impaired drivers, Collins said. Dangerous driving will not be tolerated, he said.
"Putting lives in danger and property in peril by driving like a maniac because you are suffering some sort of holiday frustration cannot be tolerated," Collins said. "We also want to be a good host to all those that come to our area to do their holiday shopping."
Anytime there is a holiday and traffic increases, officers will focus more on safety, said Sgt. Michael Baylous, spokesman for the West Virginia State Police.
"It's not a result of wanting to issue more citations," he said. "It's done in an interest of highway safety, monitoring the public so they can have a better chance of arriving safely to their destination."
Common sense and courtesy are the two biggest ways to prevent accidents, Baylous said.
"If (drivers) do both of those two things, it will greatly increase highway safety within our state," he said.
With the recent Superstorm Sandy, officers have noticed recurring trends, Baylous said.
"The storm passing through was a perfect opportunity for us to see that sometimes common sense is not used," he said. "(Drivers) can be cited for driving too fast for road conditions."
State police also have had problems with violations of the new "move over" law, Baylous said. When an emergency vehicle has pulled off to the shoulder of a roadway, drivers must move over into the farthest lane from that vehicle or slow down as they pass, he said.
Other issues are U-turns and distracted driving, Baylous said.
U-turns are dangerous because the average driver is not used to estimating the speed of an on-coming vehicle, Baylous said. Distracted driving can cause a traffic hazard when drivers in the passing lane become engaged in a conversation or aren't paying attention and drive under the posted speed limit, he said.
"It's important to use common sense, courtesy, obey traffic laws and show more kindness and consideration to others," Baylous said. "A lot of people on the roadways (this holiday season) may not be familiar with the area because they are traveling and visiting family."
"During the long Thanksgiving travel weekend, many more people than usual are on the roads visiting family and friends. We want to remind everyone the single best thing they can do to save lives and protect themselves and their passengers on our roadways is to insist on the regular and proper use of their seat belts," said Toni Tiano, with the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Highway Safety Program.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seat belts saved more than 12,500 lives nationwide in 2010. Research shows the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupants is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent when seat beats are worn correctly, Tiano said. But many still don't get the message.
Fifty one percent of the 22,187 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle crashes during 2010 were not wearing seat belts at the time of their fatal crash. During the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday 337 passenger vehicle occupants were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes nationwide, and 55 percent of those were unrestrained at the time of the crash.
Officers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol remind drivers of the dangers of driving under the influence.
According to statistics, last year during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend 17 people were killed on Ohio roadways with 27 people killed from impaired driving between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve. About 30 percent of the deaths occurring on Thanksgiving weekend were related to drugs or alcohol.
"We all share the responsibility of contributing to a safe holiday on Ohio roadways by obeying all traffic laws and never driving impaired," said Col. John Born, Ohio State Highway Patrol superintendent. "As a member of the motoring public, you can save lives by reporting unsafe and aggressive drivers to law enforcement."

Prosonix cashes in £17.1m
23.05.2012 - British respiratory medicines company Prosonix Ltd. has extended its Series B financing round to £17.1m.
Oxford – The lion's share of the new capital comes from new investor Gimv, a leading European technology investor, who contributed £5.7m. The rest was contributed by the syndicate of investors that participated in the first closing of the round in June 2011. The syndicate includes Ventech, Gilde Healthcare Partners, Entrepreneurs Fund, Quest for Growth and Solon Ventures.
The Oxford-based Prosonix announced it will use the proceeds of the financing to push forward its product pipeline of inhalable mono- and combination therapies. "These new funds will enable Prosonix to accelerate its activities aimed at attaining key performance and clinical data for our pipeline of excipient-free, drug-only respiratory medicines", said David Hipkiss, Prosonix' CEO. His company works on development programs for an inhaled corticosteroid for asthma and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist for chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. Its unique Multi-component Particle (MCP™) platform enables Prosonix to combine two or more drug molecules consistently in a pre-determined ratio in each and every particle in the formulation.
Karl Nägler, Venture Capital Partner at new investor Gimv, will join the Prosonix board as a Non-executive Director. "We are confident that Prosonix can become a significant player in the area of respiratory medicines" said Nägler, stressing that Prosonix is at an important point in its development.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/prosonix-cashes-in-pound171m.html

SAN JOSE -- A lot of things that were going wrong lately went right Thursday night as the Sharks stopped their losing streak at four games with a 3-1 win over the Minnesota Wild.
Twice in that skid, San Jose failed to protect two-goal leads. This time, San Jose built its lead to three goals for a little more breathing room to help goalie Antti Niemi earn his 17th win of the season.
"Kind of like déjà vu. We go up 2-0 in the first, and I thought we responded a lot better," Logan Couture said. "We were able to get a win we really needed."
And all three of the San Jose goals -- two by Joe Pavelski sandwiched around one by Tomas Hertl -- came on a power play that was much-maligned by coach Todd McLellan after his team lost to the same Wild by the same score Sunday at the Xcel Energy Center.
"The one thing they got back was their work ethic for the most part," McLellan said of his power play unit. "You start there, and you can certainly build off it. A 'three-for' night is certainly a good night, a night that we'll take, and it obviously won us the game."
The Sharks had their 2-0 lead before the end of the first period on goals by Pavelski and Hertl, with Pavelski adding another in the middle period. A goal by Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin with 7:24 left in the game was the only one of 30 shots to get past Niemi.
Special teams clearly made the difference in this one as the Sharks ended up 3 for 7 with the man advantage after going 1 for 13 during the losing streak. But the fact San Jose had seven power play chances to three for the Wild had Minnesota coach Mike Yeo accusing the Sharks of embellishment.
"It must be nice to draw penalties like that," Yeo said. "Make sure you look at the first penalty. Because to me, that's embarrassing. I guess we've got to ask our players to embellish more."
That first penalty saw Wild forward Justin Fontaine off for high-sticking Brad Stuart, with San Jose going ahead 1-0 on Pavelski's one-timer from the top of the left faceoff circle at 5:54.
Later in the first, the Sharks had a 5-on-3 edge when Joe Thornton drew two penalties 30 seconds apart as Fontaine was called for interference and Matt Cooke was whistled for tripping.
San Jose didn't score with the two-man advantage, but with four seconds left at 5-on-4, Tommy Wingels fed Hertl and the Sharks rookie fired a quick wrist shot that beat Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom at 14:43.
Niemi's biggest save came with Minnesota on the power play later in the period, and Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon pinching in.
The lead grew to 3-0 in the second period with help of a phantom penalty call against the Wild. Jason Demers was struck by teammate Freddie Hamilton's stick, but the call went against Wild forward Zenon Konopka. Pavelski then pounced on a rebound at 3:52 for his second goal of the night.
Late in the period, it was the Sharks' penalty kill that looked strong after Hertl went to the box for the first time this season. Even with Stuart breaking his stick early on, San Jose staved off sustained pressure from the Wild. And when Hertl got out of the box, he raced to the puck before icing could be called and enabled a tired group of defenders get off the ice.
Minnesota got the lone goal of the third period when Brodin's shot from the blue line glanced off Stuart and into the net.
This was the 21st time Pavelski has scored two goals, though he is still looking for his first hat trick.
"Hopefully it comes," he said, "but I'll take 100 two-goal games."

This latest, greatest performance is part of a career she's carved out for herself at only age 14, with previous impressive roles in films including "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Super 8" and "Somewhere." (Must be in the DNA: Her older sister, Dakota Fanning, is also talented and experienced well beyond her 19 years with an eclectic mix of films ranging from "War of the Worlds" and the "Twilight" movies to "Hounddog" and "The Runaways.
So in a year in which "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star Quvenzhane Wallis became the youngest-ever best-actress nominee at the Academy Awards at only 9, here's a look at five great child actresses:
— Shirley Temple: The original. What precocious little girl hasn't watched Temple singing and dancing to "On the Good Ship Lollipop" and thought to herself: "That looks like fun—I want to do that too"? Of course, we all couldn't do it because she had that rare "thing"—that spark, that zest, that glow. She also worked her butt off perfecting her craft at a very young age—she started dancing and appearing in short films at 3 and making features at 5—but she made childlike charm and enthusiasm look effortless.
— Elizabeth Taylor: In her early, family-friendly films such as "Lassie Come Home" and especially "National Velvet," Taylor had a startling and mature beauty for someone her age. Something about her aura radiated a grace and sophistication well beyond her years.
— Jodie Foster: As she said in her rambling speech at this year's Golden Globes, she's been in the public eye since age 3. Now at 50, the two-time Oscar winner is a great example of remaining strong and vital throughout the transition from child stardom to adulthood. Foster had confidence and swagger from her earliest days—it's evident even in something silly like a guest appearance on "The Partridge Family.
— Kirsten Dunst: She started modeling and appearing in commercials when she was only a few years old, but her breakout role at age 12 was playing the adorably creepy vampire Claudia opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in "Interview With the Vampire." Great choices from there have included Sofia Coppola's "The Virgin Suicides" and "Marie Antoinette," Michel Gondry's dreamlike "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the kitschy cheerleader comedy "Bring It On.
— Abigail Breslin: She was one of the youngest-ever Oscar nominees at age 10 for her charming, vulnerable and ultimately inspiring performance as awkward pageant contestant Olive in the crowd-pleasing indie "Little Miss Sunshine." But she made an impression even earlier than that when she made her film debut at just 5 in M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs." Her varied work has ranged from the star-studded romantic comedy "Definitely, Maybe" to the heart-tugging "My Sister's Keeper" to the horror comedy "Zombieland" to the musical drama "Janie Jones," which showed off her singing and guitar-playing talents. (Like Fanning and Dunst, Breslin has a new movie in theaters this weekend, too: the thriller "The Call.") And she's only 16 now—it's all out there in front of her.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Looking to get your house or business cleaned up for the fall or holidays? Mountain Lake Cleaning is proud to offer a variety of services to make your life easier.
The company, which opened in May of this year, specializes in home (private or vacation) and commercial cleaning. Owned and operated by Dirk Foster and his wife, Dany, the pair is already seeing success with their new business endeavor.
"We decided to make a life change and move up here," Mr. Foster said.
The couple lived in Los Angeles for 20 years before moving to Incline Village. Mr. Foster worked in public relations, while Mrs. Foster worked at Fox Studios for 12 years. After visiting the area for many years, Mr. Foster moved to the basin in July 2011, and his fiance at the time (the couple just got married in August) followed soon after.
After getting cleaning services at their own home, the duo realized there was a need for improvement in the services offered.
"There was a niche to be filled," Mr. Foster said.
He added that other cleaning services failed to offer a high level of customer service, as well as environmentally friendly products. The Fosters soon set out to open their own cleaning business, which offers both.
They've had no problems transitioning from previous careers to the cleaning business.
"I'm a cleaning fanatic myself," Mr. Foster said of his past experiencing with cleaning.
Mountain Lake Cleaning is a small staff of just six, all with experience working in the cleaning field. Mr. Foster handles business development, while Mrs. Foster does the bookkeeping (as well as managing Blu Boutique).
"We've had outstanding reception," Mr. Foster said of the community's reaction to the business so far. "Business (has been) booming since day one."
The company is available for work seven days a week, including nights, for commercial properties. It offers daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly services, for deep cleaning as well as routine cleans. Mountain Lake Cleaning even takes care of windows.
One thing that sets Mountain Lake Cleaning apart from the other companies is staff use environmentally friendly products, that are safe for home, office, pets and children.
"We live in a place ... where it makes sense to offer a service that has environmentally friendly products," Mr. Foster added.
Jobs can take anywhere from two to 15 hours, Mr. Foster said. The company offers a free home walk through and estimate for those looking to get their place cleaned for the first time. Even though it's been a busy summer, the Fosters emphasized that they can always make time for new clients and jobs, and are willing to work nights and weekends to accommodate busy schedules.
"The service is designed to free up people's time," Mr. Foster said. "The service that we offer helps our clients simplify their busy lives, allowing them more time that they can devote to family, friends and fun.
"And a clean home or office always makes people feel better."

BOULDER, Colo. -- It has been almost seven weeks since coach Mike MacIntyre left the thriving San Jose State football program to take the job at Colorado.
In the world of college football, change happens quickly. MacIntyre's wife has found the family a new home, son Jay already is playing basketball for his new high school and, with the arrival of Millie, their golden retriever, the move to Colorado will be complete.
MacIntyre had orchestrated the greatest season in modern San Jose State history last fall, but he left Dec. 10 as the Spartans were gearing up for their first bowl game in six years. MacIntyre said he was not looking to leave.
"I really loved it at San Jose State," he said this weekend in an interview at his football office on the Boulder campus. "But when you have success, things happen."
What happened for MacIntyre, 47, was the opportunity to coach at a Pac-12 Conference school with a national championship on its résumé, albeit coming off its worst season ever at 1-11. He also could not ignore a contract offer: $2 million per season for five years.
"Any business person, if you get a phone call and they say they want to quadruple your salary for multiyears, anybody would say, 'You better look at it,' " said MacIntyre, who earned about $465,000 in 2012 at SJSU.
"With college football, everybody puts so much passion and emotion into it."
MacIntyre, who took the Spartans from a 1-12 record his first season in 2010 to a 10-2 regular-season mark last fall, had to put reason ahead of emotion.
Asked how he would respond to anyone suggesting he left only for the money, MacIntyre said: "They don't know me. People that truly know me know what my heart's about."
MacIntyre said athletic director Gene Bleymaier made "a decent effort" to keep him at SJSU.
He also confirmed he had discussions with Cal about the coaching job that eventually went to Western Athletic Conference rival Sonny Dykes of Louisiana Tech. The talks didn't go far.
"I was happy for Sonny. He's a good man, he's a good coach, he treats people right," said MacIntyre, noting that new Cal receivers coach Rob Likens is one of his closest friends. Colorado hosts Cal on Nov. 16 (and has a previously scheduled game vs. San Jose State in 2016).
There weren't as many inquiries from schools as rumors suggested, MacIntyre said, but Colorado -- despite its dismal 2012 season -- stood out.
The Buffs haven't had a winning season since 2005, and the move to the Pac-12 last season has exposed their need for speed. CU also is generally considered to have among the worst athletic facilities in the Pac-12.
What MacIntyre saw reminded him of SJSU -- a job he said he was universally advised against taking. He sensed a hunger to return to CU's glory days, when from 1989-2001 the Buffs won at least 10 games six times, including a national title in 1990.
"There's a lot of people here who want to be successful," he said. "I felt it was the same way when I went to San Jose State. I walked in there believing we were going to do it, and I believe everybody caught that vision."
The postscript to his three seasons was the Spartans' 29-20 win over Bowling Green at the Military Bowl on Dec. 27 in Washington, D.C. -- their 11th win of the season. MacIntyre watched the game on TV with his family from the den of their San Jose home in what he called a "surreal, gut-wrenching" day.
"When we won that game," he said, "there wasn't a dry eye in our house. It was kind of a culmination for us, but we weren't there."
CU athletic director Mike Bohn believes the man he hired will build a winner and inspire donors to fund facilities improvements. In the interview process, Bohn said he was struck by MacIntyre's clear message and unpretentious confidence.
"He has a warm, user-friendly, attractive appeal," Bohn said. "He's real."
Recruiting has been MacIntyre's focus. The Buffs got a commitment from Ryan Severson, a running back from Valley Christian-San Jose, who previously planned to attend SJSU, and Colorado is among the schools in pursuit of cornerback Chidobe Awuzie of Oak Grove-San Jose.
Although he is an obvious example of how state schools such as SJSU will be financially challenged to keep a hot coach, MacIntyre said what was accomplished the past three seasons proves the Spartans can win.
Even moving into the tougher Mountain West Conference next season, MacIntyre believes the combination of the Silicon Valley, weather and access to talent makes SJSU the best destination in the league.
"I definitely think it's sustainable because there are enough good players in the state of California," he said. "If they just keep moving forward and don't relax, I think they can be very, very good, year in and year out."

TRIBE LOSES SECOND ROUND Dixon: The Tribe has suffered what has been termed a temporary set back in it's legal suit against Poison Marina owner Jim Namen. The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an earli er Missoula District Court ruling contending that the Tribes do not have authority to regulate docks and lake bottom structure on the portion of Flathead Lake lying within the Reservation borders. The Tribe filed the lawsuit in 1974, requesting that all new and old construction of Namen's Marina facility be stopped, and all portions of land in trespass be put back into original condition. The Council will be meeting on Monday with Tribal attorney Richard Baenan to discuss what further action will be taken. They will decide whether the case will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, the only recourse left to the Tribe. Poison Councilman, E. W. Mori-geau, has stated that the decision as he understands it, may only affect the former allotment lands, and may not have any bearing on homesteads or villa site property. The Council has withheld comment on the case until meeting with Tribal legal counsel, however most feel that it will be impossible to avoid another appeal. NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND D'ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES VOLUME 6 NUMBER 3 NEW MOON OF THE CAMAS JUNE 1,1976 To Council or To Chief CREDIT MANAGER SELECTED Dixon: The Law & Order Dept. has been without a permanant Chief of Police since March 15. Councilman Sonny Morigeau was appointed Police Commissioner by the Council, and has been acting Chief since former Chief, Lloyd Jackson left the force. It has been reported to the Char-Koosta that the Council has offered Morigeau the permanant position of head of the department. However, in order to accept the Chief's job, Morigeau would have to resign his position as Dixon Councilman. Morigeau told the Char-Koosta that he would be willing to accept the job, having been Chief of Law and Order for 9 years in the past, he feels he can perform the duties required of him, however he now feels that his position on the Council is more important at this time. He stated that he will give the Council his answer at the Council meeting scheduled for this Friday. Former Tribal Credit Manager Ken Dupuis, has been reinstated to that position by the Council at their May 7th meeting. Dupuis gave up the Credit Manager's job in April to accept a position with the B.I.A. Billings Area Office. Unsatisfied with the new BIA job, Ken returned to the Reservation and reapplied for his old positio n. His application was considered along with four other applicants. The other four were Art Barber, Allen Grenier, Kerry Shourds and Leon Walsh. Mr. Barber withdrew his application before the Council had made their decision. The Council went into an Executive Session during the May 7 Council Meeting, to confer with the Credit Committee on their recommendation. It was reported to the Char-Koosta that some changes were going to be made in the way the Credit office treated Tribal Members who came in for loans. There had been many complaints from Tribal members in the past concerning the attitude of Credit employees. WE APOLOGIZE We would like to extend our apologies to Raymond Santos, Arlee Councilman candidate in the May 1 special election. The elec tion results printed in the May 15 issue of the Char-Koosta contained a typographical error showing Ray's bother Joe Santos as receiving 12 votes. We are very sorry, Ray, and hope our error did not confuse the voters as to who they had cast their vote for.

RENO/TAHOE - Two of the strongly emerging sectors of Northern Nevada's economy - data centers and Internet fulfillment centers - each took another step forward last week.Rubicon Data Centers plans to build a 20-megawatt data center housed in a 300,000-square-foot facility to be constructed at Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. The project is part of a larger master-planned campus on 44 acres to be developed by Prologis for Rubicon.Meanwhile, BizChair, an Internet retailer of office furniture, said it's opening a distribution center in a 292.500-square-foot building in Stead, primarily to serve West Coast customers.Rubicon says building a data center in northern Nevada makes sense for a number of reasons.JP Balajadia, who heads the newly formed San Francisco-based company with partner Kevin Louie, says northern Nevada's low cost of business versus major markets, its cool, dry air and proximity to California customers make it a good place to house a mid-sized data center targeted for small- to medium-sized businesses.Rubicon Data Centers hopes to break ground on the project by early 2013, but it's currently negotiating with potential customers primarily in the Bay Area about their data center requirements."We are trying to have this site marry up with some of those requirements," Balajadia says. "We have been designing and building data centers for more than 15 years. We definitely have one size that fits the biggest swath of requirements. After tilting up a concrete shell and getting infrastructure delivered, we are hoping that in six to eight months we have customers rolling in live racks of gear."Data centers are typically located in major U.S. markets such as the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, or New York and northern New Jersey, Balajadia says - areas with high costs for power, land and living. Companies housed at data centers in these locations pay more for hosting services than they would in northern Nevada, where land and power are much less expensive.Adds Louie: "Total cost of occupancy has become increasingly more important. Our data center in Reno will offer a very low total cost of occupancy, when factoring not just rent, but power, taxes, operating expenses and labor."Rubicon is targeting a wide range of companies as potential data-hosting clients, including banks, gaming customers, hospitals, social networking companies and small retailers. The company in essence functions as a high-tech property manager. Rubicon would provide a secure site with low-cost power, access to fiber optic cabling, continuous security and a 24-hour operating staff to ensure companies' back-of-house operations are constantly up and running.Targeting smaller firms makes sense, Balajadia notes, because the many major players in the data center industry are slugging it out for the business of medium- to large-sized companies."If we can establish ourselves in an area we have identified as a good alternative to the Bay Area and be first to market, we can capture the bulk of those types of requirements," Balajadia says.Projected employment includes a small property management group of two to five individuals; about 10 to 15 people to service the servers and other hardware; a security force of 10 to 15 employees; and eight to 12 engineers to ensure continued back-of-house operations. Rubicon will try to hire as many people locally as possible, Balajadia says. "The Reno area does have an educated workforce and people who know mission-critical work," he says.BizChair, headquartered in Canton, Ga., will make its first foray out of Georgia with the distribution center in the Panattoni Lear Industrial Center at 6650 Echo Ave. The company, which posted 2010 sales of $58 million, is led by Sean Belnick. He launched the company in 2001 as a 14-year-old working out of his bedroom. It's among the first online-only retailers of office furniture.The company expects to employ eight to 10 at the distribution center, although initial employment could top 20 as it hires temporary workers to stock the warehouse.Gary Glazer, president of BizChair, said the company ruled out a California location for the distribution center because of high costs and difficult employment laws.It chose Reno over Las Vegas, he said, because of the costs of bringing inbound containers from Asia are several hundred dollars less in Reno.He noted, too, warehouse lease rates are attractive in Reno, labor supplies are ample, and the company can get orders to its customers in California within one or two days.Gov. Brian Sandoval, who made a pitch to BizChair executives about the value of a Nevada location, noted that the company is experiencing significant growth in the fast-developing eRetail sector.Tom Miller of Miller Industrial Properties represented BizChair as well as the landlord in the company's lease negotiations.

Warren Miller has become the granddaddy of ski films, but just because the crew's in its 62nd year, there's nothing crotchety about it. In fact, it's taking a new spin on old footage and stories. But Miller doesn't just rely on the past. This season, "Like There's No Tomorrow" travels to five continents, from the Himalayas in Gulmarg, India to the highest peak in Portillo, Chile. Plus, there's plenty of North American footage, including Alaska, Utah, California and Colorado. Olympic gold medalist Jonny Moseley narrates the action, while Davenport, Julia Mancuso, Daron Rahlves, Colby West and Seth Wecott drop some of the biggest lines.To reach the peaks of India, it took 28 hours and four commercial flights, yet big-mountain powerhouses Lel Tone and Lynsey Dyer still think it's well worth the trip."While these ladies may stick out as assumed American sweethearts against this rugged landscape, they tackle these uncharted mountains with verve and fearlessness, leaving us to bask in their perfect first descents on some of the world's most secluded terrain," according to segment notes. "When they aren't up on Kashmir's daunting peaks, they are down in Gulmarg's pristine resort meadow, ripping turns with the locals and discovering common ground on the snow-covered mountainside."While Squaw Valley may have shown up in plenty of films, Miller takes a slightly different angle by using veteran ski-film cinematographer Tom Day, who's hung around Squaw long enough to watch generations take on the mountain, yet has never seen a winter with more than 800 inches of snow - until now.And though New Hampshire isn't necessarily known for its abundant powder, Davenport has ripped the windblown terrain since he was a kid. As he says: "If you can ski this, you can ski anywhere."Some people, namely freestyle skier Andreas Hatveit, have it made: He has a world-class terrain park in his backyard, in the Norwegian ski town of Sudndalen. Miller's film features some of the best jibbers as they host a moonlit backyard throw-down.Then there's the racers tackling big-mountain chutes in Portillo, Chile with Davenport leading the way. "In racing, you know where the finish line is," Mancuso said. "So, when you are out there on the mountain (freeskiing), the possibilities are endless."The Monashee Range in British Columbia inspired this quote from freeskier Andy Mahre: "The key to life is to live each day like it's your last day. If you're sitting on the couch, you're obviously not riding powder, so maybe you should get off the couch." Enough said."Like There's No Tomorrow" also follows "terrain transformers" as they conquer school jungle gyms, road gaps and towering staircases, while Daron Rahlves, the greatest speed skier in the U.S. Team history, invents a new form of racing that puts skier or boarder cross to shame. It's called Banzai Downhill, and the rules are simple: First down wins. Basically, you go as fast as you can down the gnarliest terrain and hope you stay on your feet."It doesn't matter what's going to happen tomorrow because you are living for the moment; people who commit themselves to this lifestyle take advantage of it - like there might not be a tomorrow," said Seth Wescott.While viewers can always count on Miller to pump them up for the season, his laid-back humor and style attracts more than just a teen and 20-something crowd. "One of the biggest things that sets (Warren Miller films) off is it's geared toward families, not just geared toward young people," said spokesperson Kelly Evans. "Our sponsors come to each event with a lot of fun activities for kids, and (our team) tries to go to new places that have never been skied or presented.""'Like There's No Tomorrow' is your annual reminder that winter is on its way and, with it, an adrenaline-fueled dance with gravity," said producer Max Bervy. "We welcome winter with everything we've got, because, while there's always a tomorrow, there are only so many dawns with fresh snow."

Hoodia Supplement Reviews
If you've been on a weight loss journey for any length of time, then you have surely heard of some type of Hoodia supplement. Hoodia, known also as Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent plant native to the South African bush of the Kalahari Desert. Hoodia is generally offered in either tablet or capsule form, and averages around $35-40 for a one month's supply.
So what are the benefits of Hoodia, either implied or by scientific fact? Well, there doesn't yet seem to be a lot of scientific data to back up the claims of this indigenous plant, but there has been plenty of media attention as well as word-of-mouth advertising. So what are users saying? Experts familiar with the supplement claim that Hoodia tricks your brain into thinking that you're full—thereby eating less.
Some claim that Hoodia does seem to have some type of appetite suppressing mechanism in some of its 'naturally occurring chemicals.' Hoodia many times is used in conjunction with other popular weight loss supplements, such as green tea extract, citrus aurantium, and chromium- so it is difficult to ascertain exactly how much power any one of these supplements have on their own to help one see actual weight loss benefits.
The actual credit for weight loss in Hoodia is given to a molecule in the Hoodia extract called P57, that seems to trigger the hypothalamus gland—which controls appetite in the brain. There are other indications, though, that Hoodia may have some adverse effects on the liver—so do your own research when considering trying products with the Hoodia Supplement in them.

Handbrake 0.9.5 Released
Handbrake is one of the very few, functionally mature open source video transcoding tools with a decent, usable user interface (of course command line options are still available).
Generally the Handbrake development team take a long time between official releases, and v0.9.5 is no exception. This latest version comes more than a full calendar year after the previous milestone release.
While Handbrake doesn't support a wide range of broadcast video formats, which would be a nice addition for me personally, this is not really their target market. Handbrake does a great job on web targeted and home use video encoding jobs. Ripping Blu-Ray DVDs, encoding for Apple TV2 and advanced finite controls for H.264 transcoding are all now supported in the latest release.
Further details about the release available here.
Discussion thread, specific to this release, available here.

The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team faces off with Cal State Fullerton for the second time in program history as part of the Ramada Worldwide Bracketbusters on Saturday, Feb. 23, in the Dugan Wellness Center. This is the final non-conference game of the year for the Islanders.
• The Islanders have one of the youngest teams in Division I, with an average age of 20 years, five months, 22 days heading into today's matchup. There are no seniors on the team.
• Johnathan Jordan is the only player in the Southland – and one of just five nationally – to average 10-plus points, 5-plus rebounds, and 5-plus assists on the year. He passed the 500-point barrier for his career last game.
• Sophomore Nate Maxey scored a career-high 15 points, posting a stellar offensive game that saw him go 7-for-10 from the floor with 14 points in the paint.
• The Islanders' bench has averaged 30.2 points over its last four games. The bench has shot 56-for-132 (.424) over the five-game span.
• The Islanders had a season-best 46 points in the paint against Northwestern State, including eight dunks.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is ineligible for the postseason because of poor results in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate. No Islander who has played under Wilson had anything to do with the subpar score.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi won the only game it has ever played with Cal State Fullerton, a season-opening 83-76 victory on Nov. 22, 2002. The contest was played in Honolulu as part of the Hawaiian Airlines Tipoff Classic. The Islanders led 65-49 with 11:25 remaining, but the Titans put together a 25-12 run that had them down just three at 77-74 with 1:41 left. But the Islanders converted their free throws down the stretch to ice the victory
Brian Evans led the way for the Islanders in that contest, scoring 24 points on 7-of-10 shooting, while Travis Bailey added 22 points of his own to go along with five assists. Corey Lamkin added 12 points and seven boards for A&M - Corpus Christi, which shot 29-for-51 (.569) in the contest and 23-for-28 (.821) from the free-throw line. Fullerton had four players in double figures, led by 17 points and nine boards from Ralphy Holmes.
Cal State Fullerton comes into this affair at 13-13 overall and with a 6-8 mark in Big West Conference play. The Titans are coming off a 77-60 win over Cal Poly on Wednesday night that snapped a string where Fullerton had lost five of its last six.
The Titans play a high-tempo style that has their offense clicking at 80.3 points per game so far this season. D.J. Seeley leads the way at 18.3 points per game, but he is far from the only scorer. Kwame Vaughn (17.8) and Sammy Yeager (15.8) both also average over 15 points per game. The Titans are shooting .480 from the field and average just under 1.5 shots per minute of action. On the boards, Fullerton averages just 30.8 as a team with no player topping five caroms per contest.
He's only a sophomore, but Houston native Johnathan Jordan has been thrust into the role of leader on the young Islanders squad. Jordan led the Southland in assists per game in 2011-12, and was also among the leaders in minutes per game.
Jordan was outstanding as a distributor a season ago, but his growth as a scorer is notable. After averaging 6.5 points last year, the point guard has contributed 12.8 points per game, largely on his ability to get to the rim and the free-throw line. Despite his 5-foot-10 frame, he leads the team with 154 points in the paint and has hit a team-best 106 free throws, including a 12-for-13 performance at the line against McNeese. His 12 free throws are tied for fourth-most in a game in Islanders history and he recently cracked the single-season top 10 in the category.
Perhaps more impressive is Jordan's all-around game. His distribution is what he is most known for, and with 5.2 assists per game this year, he sits second in the Southland. He is already in the single-season top five in assists and is on pace to break his own school record of 138, set last season. In league play, he has 82 assists to 39 turnovers.
Jordan is also strong on the glass, having topped double-digit rebounds twice this season. He snared 11 caroms against SHSU for his third double-double of the year. He is one of just five players nationally averaging at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists. He shows high on the stamina scale as well, where he is second in the Southland at 36.3 minutes per game.
The diminutive guard is one of the most athletic Islanders, as evidenced by his two slam-dunk contest championships, thanks to his 48-inch running vertical leap.
One of the primary reasons for the Islanders' improvement in offensive efficiency has been the youngest member of last year's freshman class. Hameed Ali showed flashes of being a strong player for the Islanders in 2011-12, delivering game-winning shots against Sam Houston State and Utah State.
But Ali, who turned 19 in August, has shown significant growth in his maturity, particularly as a vocal leader for the Islanders. Formerly one of the most shy members of the team, Ali has become a constant voice in practice – whether he is on the court or on the sidelines.
Ali has had his two best offensive games of the season in the last two weeks, netting 15 points against McNeese State and following that up with a career-high 18 at UCA. Against the Bears, he went 7-for-10 from the field and added six assists and three steals. He added 11 points at Oral Roberts, the second-best mark on the team. Over the three games he averaged 14.7 points and shooting 16-for-31.
The sophomore started the season among the national leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio, and now has 49 assists to 30 turnovers. He leads the team and is seventh in the league with his 1.6 steal average.
Over the last five games, the Islanders have had strong performances off their bench. The bench had 32 points against Lamar, 26 against McNeese and then 34 in the UCA contest. Then it erupted for 43 against Northwestern State, a season high. That equates to an average of 30.2 points and a 56-for-132 (.424) mark from the field over that span.
Among the Islanders, there is no personality quite like that of the appropriately-named Joy Williamson. The junior transfer's ebullient and energetic personality is matched only by his intensity and pace on the basketball court.
After missing three games due to injury, Williamson has been outstanding in his last three weeks. He led the team in scoring in both contests two weels ago, netting 12 against Lamar and matching his career high with 15 in the win over McNeese State. He was tremendously efficient as well, going 7-for-13 from the field and 3-for-6 from beyond the arc. He had 12 points vs. Northwestern State, and has pushed his average near double digits at 9.8 per game.
His career high in points against MSU would have been even higher had it not been for an uncharacteristic 5-for-10 performance at the free-throw line. Still, he is among the league leaders in free-throw shooting (.692).
His other 15-point performance came in the first game against UCA, where he went 5-for-9 from the field, knocking down a pair of threes in a losing effort. That snapped a string where he failed to reach double figures in four straight contests.
His finest game came against Houston, as the guard's offensive ability shined brightly. He went 6-for-9 from the field for 13 points, filling the stat sheet in all other aspects of his game as well. Williamson snared seven rebounds, dished out four assists to no turnovers and registered three steals.
Williamson played two seasons at Redlands Community College, where he was coached by current Islanders assistant Yaphett King. The Oklahoma City native scored 18.7 points and grabbed 8.2 rebounds at Redlands.
Over the last several games, the Islanders have seen their best offensive play when they are getting contributions from several players on the offensive end. The trend started at Sam Houston State, when, due to foul trouble, Johnathan Jordan and Will Nelson – the top two scorers on the team – were limited to 14 minutes in the first half.
The Islanders had six different players score at least six points – Jordan, Nelson, Joy Williamson, Brandon Pye, Hameed Ali and Cole Martinez. The Islanders have had at least five different players with six points in eight of their last 12 games, including seven in the UCA contest.
Against the Bears, the Islanders placed four players in double figures for the first time in conference play, as Hameed Ali (18), Will Nelson (14), Johnathan Jordan (11) and Dale Francis (10) finishing with 10 points or more. For Francis, it was a career high, and he became the eighth different player with a game in double figures this year.

BREVARD — Transylvania Regional Hospital has introduced a new brand to reflect that it is now a full member of Mission Health. The familiar Mission Health logo and colors have been incorporated into the Brevard hospital's new website and signs. TRH became a full member hospital of Mission Health in October and had been in a management agreement with Mission Health since Jan. 1, 2011.
Beyond having a shared brand, Mission Health and TRH have been working together on several projects to enhance care for patients in Transylvania County. Mission Health, with the support of the TRH Foundation, installed a telemedicine robot in the TRH Emergency Department. This robot allows doctors in Brevard to consult with stroke specialists in Asheville to more quickly diagnose and treat patients.
The hospital also is preparing to launch a state-of-the art electronic health record system that will provide more accurate records of each patient's care at TRH. The EHR system will operate on the same platform as the one used at Mission Health, allowing doctors in Brevard and Asheville to share information about a patient.
TRH is a leading provider of health care services in Transylvania County and surrounding counties. It is a member of Mission Health. Based in Brevard, it is a not-for-profit hospital founded in 1933 and is the largest employer in Transylvania County.

AMC, as expected, has renewed "The Walking Dead" for a fourth season, but the zombie drama will undergo another change at the top as showrunner Glen Mazzara announced that he will be leaving the series.
In a statement, AMC said, "the two parties have mutually decided to part ways."
"Glen guided the series creatively for seasons 2 and 3," the statement read. "AMC is grateful for his hard work. We are both proud of our shared success. Both parties acknowledge that there is a difference of opinion about where the show should go moving forward, and conclude that it is best to part ways."
AMC described the decision as "amicable" and said that Mazzara will stay on through post-production on Season 3, which resumes Feb. 10.
"The Walking Dead" is AMC's biggest hit -- and one of the biggest hits on television, becoming the first basic cable show to lead the ratings in the highly coveted adults 18-49 demo. Even so, it has had its share of behind-the-scenes drama. Frank Darabont, who adapted the series from Robert Kirkman's comic books, was abruptly forced out as showrunner midway through Season 2 for reasons that still haven't been made clear.
In a separate statement, Mazzara said, "My time as showrunner on 'The Walking Dead' has been an amazing experience, but after I finish Season 3, it's time to move on. I have told the stories I wanted to tell and connected with our fans on a level that I never imagined. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey."
Meanwhile, Kirkman issued his own extensive statement, saying, "I am in full support of both AMC and Glen Mazzara in the decision they have come to and believe the parties came to this decision in the best interest of the future of the show. I thank Glen for his hard work and appreciate his many contributions to 'The Walking Dead' and look forward to working with him as we complete post production on Season 3. I am also excited to begin work on another spectacular season of this show that I know means so much to so many people. This show has always been the result of a wide range of extremely talented men and women working tirelessly to produce their best work collectively. I believe the future is bright for 'The Walking Dead.' Thank you to the fans for your continued support."
Despite those warm-and-fuzzy declarations, you have to wonder what exactly it was about Mazzara's vision for the show that AMC objected to -- and why the network would even want to mess with such amazing success. And "amicable"? Probably not.
Either way, fans have reason to be nervous. Under Mazzara's direction, "The Walking Dead" became more tense and tough and gripping, even as it did up the gore quotient. The show landed on several end-of-the-year Top 10 lists issued by TV critics.

Chely Wright returned this week from a 10-day tour throughout Iraq and Kuwait. The tour was sponsored by Stars for Stripes - a nonprofit group committed to providing quality entertainment to deployed troops in areas not typically visited by USO tours - and she performed at military bases in remote areas. Stops included a show at The Armed Forces 57th Anniversary show in the International Zone. The tour was funded by a Department of Defense organization, Armed Forces Entertainment. Chely also recently visited Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. and the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda., MD to spend individual time with wounded troops. "It was unreal," said Chely. "I can't put into words what an experience that was." The patriotic performer met with troops who had lost arms, legs, even eyesight in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I asked one of them where he wanted to do his convalescent leave and he told me, 'Baghdad Ma'am.' That pretty much says it all doesn't it," she said.

Special Concert
Pictures / Videos
A concert of Musikfest Berlin / at the Philharmonie
|Laura Aikin
|Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin
|Donald Runnicles
"Thrilling, brilliant.. a gem of harmonious sound," was the Berlin Tagesspiegel's impression of the Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin following its first performance at the Musikfest Berlin, part of the 2013 Berliner Festspiele. And this year Donald Runnicles and his ensemble will again be guesting at the Philharmonie. The matinee programme will feature two early works by two great composers and set an unusually peppy tone. Anton von Webern's "Im Sommerwind" idyll, written in 1904 but not performed until 1962, exploits the full breadth of the large Late Romantic symphony orchestra to evoke the colours and verve of a summer's day. As a companion piece, audiences will also be treated to Johannes Brahms' rarely-heard first serenade, his initial orchestral response to the First Viennese school and a piece which melds the playfulness of Haydn's later symphonies with a realm of romantic, pastoral sensations. As a contrast to these two early works the Orchestra will perform a lieder cycle by the Berlin composer Aribert Reimann, who has been returning to the Deutsche Oper Berlin for over half a century. Written between 1980 and 1982, the three songs for soprano and orchestra are based on poems by Edgar Allen Poe.
Anton von Webern (1883 – 1945)
"Im Sommerwind"
Idyll for orchestra
based on a poem by Bruno Wille (1904)
Aribert Reimann (*1936)

I have the problem that with pmsencoder 1.5.5 (ffmpeg) played internet videos are too big for my Sony Bravia EX.
The left and the lower border is truncated. This means, the picture isn't completely visible.
I gues that the internet video has a 16/10 ar, but my TV only has 16/9.
So my question: Is it possible to influence/change the ar of pmsencoder? Perhaps by adding some custom options to ffmpeg ?
Or how can I get full screen playback on my TV?
Thanks for your answers
