10 predictions for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival
PARK CITY - The 2013 Sundance Film Festival is only hours away from kicking off with four premieres tonight: the documentary mystery "Who is Dayani Cristal?", U.S. dramatic competition entry "May in the Summer," "Crystal Fairy" with Michael Cera and the music doc "Twenty Feet from Stardom" (oh yeah, and "Shorts Program 1"). The early buzz is all about James Franco and his two sex movies ("Interior.Leather.Bar." and "Kink"), but by Saturday night the conversation will likely have shifted to the "big surprise" and hot acquisition targets. With that in mind, here are 10 predictions for the next week of festival going in Park City.
The "excuse me, I need a moment before I can stand up" festival
There are going to be some hot and bothered audiences in Park City this weekend. From "Interior.Leather.Bar" to "Kink" to a rumored sex scene with Daniel Radcliffe in "Kill Your Darlings" to Amanda Seyfried as Linda "Lovelance," Sundance is ready for quite an erotic ride.
The return of the Oscar mojo
After a very down showing in 2012 (at least among narrative films), Sundance roared back in the Academy's good graces with best picture, best director and best actress nods (among others) for festival favorite "Beasts of the Southern Wild" last week. This year buzz is already swirling around "Ain't Them Bodies Saints," "Before Midnight" and "The Spectacular Now," just to name a few. And, as it has been since the late '90s, the documentary competition will continue to rack up the Oscar pedigree of the festival.
Flu panic
Get ready twitter and Facebook. Anyone you know near Park City, Utah will soon be tweeting for their life over the fear of germs and catching the nasty flu that's going around. The city has already told attendees to use hand sanitizer as much as possible over concerns those East Coast visitors will bring the epidemic their way. Of course, a nasty Sundance flu bug is a right of passage every other year or so, but 2013 appears to be causing higher anxiety than usual.
The year the party died
This is my ninth Sundance in a row. I began at the height of the celebrity gifting suites and ambush marketing and have seen the festival slowly push all the party crashers out of town. This year there is less buzz for the party scene than I can ever remember. The big weekend performers are just DJ's such as Avicii and Afrojack. The days of Beyonce performing at ESPN parties and Beastie Boys giving mini-concerts seem long, long gone.
New buyers make a mark at the table and some old ones are quiet
Familiar faces return with Bob and Jeanne Berney behind a newly invigorated "Picturehouse" and A24 has already made noise with "Ginger and Rosa" and the upcoming "Spring Breakers." Expect both to be major players in the acquisition market this year. Don't expect Summit Entertainment (too big a slate in 2013) or The Weinstein Company (if Harvey can control himself) to jump headfirst into the acquisition game, however.
Strong premieres past the first weekend
Like it's cousin in the Great White North, TIFF, Sundance has a reputation of debuting much weaker films past the first weekend and Monday night. This year should see a marked improvement with potential acquisition targets "A.C.O.D." starring Adam Scott and Amy Poehler premiering on Wednesday, "Very Good Girls" with Dakota Fanning and Elisabeth Olsen on Tuesday and - fingers crossed - "Lovelace" with Seyfried, things could be looking up midweek. (And yes, closing night film "Jobs" was purposely not included. We'll believe Ashton Kutcher can pull of playing the Apple genius when we see it.)
It will feel like old home week at times
Impressively, this year's festival features the return of previous narrative alums Drake Doremus, Zal Batmanglij, Richard Linkletter, Sarah Polley, Michael Winterbottom, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, David Gordon Green, Jane Campion, Lynn Shelton and Shane Carruth. What's even more exciting is that both Carruth and Shelton's films, "Upstream Color" and "Touchy Feely" respectively, will be competing in the U.S. dramatic competition. It's rare that any previous filmmaker make the competition cut, but two? That's superb. The more former filmmakers who screen in this category the more prestigious it will end up being.
Controversy will heat up the documentary categories...again
Anita Hill, Dick Cheney, third trimester abortion doctors, S&M, the Wisconsin recall election, covert U.S. military operations, hate crimes and the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Yep, just another year of button-pushing Sundance docs. Wouldn't have it any others way.
Second year in a row with no secret screening
The HitFix team has scoured the schedule, but we cannot find any hint of where a "secret screening" could take place this year. If that is the case, it would mark the second year in a row without one. That's pretty surprising considering the fact Steven Soderbergh's "The Girlfriend Experience," "Exit Through the Gift Shop" and "Red State" (yeah, that wasn't much of a secret, but still…) all created quite a ruckus over the previous three years. Are filmmakers less interested in the publicity burst? Has the festival just found itself too booked with confirmed films? We're hoping we're wrong on this one.
What are you expecting out of this year's 2013 Sundance Film Festival? Share your thoughts below.

The idea for the map came actually from another map (first one below) I did for a map challenge at www.alternatehistory.com.
This map was some kind of successor. The civilization collapsed and thousand and more years later it is again on a medieval/renaissance level. This was possibly only after the orbital combat satellites ran low on fuel in their reactors - they had beamed down any sign of technology for hundreds of years.
But there are still areas with ancient technology, where robots and old drones roam the landscape. Many areas are forbidden, they have been no-go zones because of radioactivity. Even if they are more or less clean now, mutant animals, plants and people live there and you better don't go there without an army as support.
The main political power is the Empire of Texarado. It has some vassals and allies. Most states follow the Church of Redemptive Unity.
Sometimes there is contact with Yurop or Asha by merchant ships, even Stralia is visited now more frequently.
I made also another map, the Duchy of Lando (second one). Use the links to see the large version.

AFSC is proud to have arranged the display of the Hibakusha art of Junko Kayashige at Harvard University this October.
When the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima City on August 6, 1945, Junko Kayashige had just entered elementary school. A Hiroshima City native, she was in a home one mile from where the A-bomb hit. Kayashige survived, badly injured, but lost several close members of her family.
Throughout and beyond a 38-year career as a public junior high school art teacher in Hiroshima City, Kayashige has created haunting paintings of her experience and memories as a Hibakusha - an A-bomb survivor. She writes, "I wanted to depict the foolishmess of humans who attempt to solve problems with war and destruction. It is hard for me to revisit and recount my experience, but nuclear weapons are still threatening our lives."
With support from the American Friends Service Committee, Junko Kayashige has shipped her paintings from Japan for display at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The artist will share her story at the gallery talk.

Thursday, June 5, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A Richmond County deputy has been cleared of all wrongdoing after he tased a man who died soon after.
A grand jury decided there wasn't enough evidence to move forward with formal charges against Deputy Matthew Sanderson for the tasing incident last June that led to George Harvey's death.
Harvey's family says this isn't the end of the line for them. They plan to fight until their family gets justice. Since the state will not be filing charges against the officer who tased their brother, they plan to sue.
"[I'm feeling] A little bit of shock and surprise. We had prepared for this, but I'm the person who always thought the justice system was supposed to work for everybody," Harvey's sister, Alvera, said.
She thought the state would charge the deputy since they have cell phone video from the scene. Harvey says, "The officer was there and didn't offer any medical assistance."
The Sheriff's Office says deputies tased Harvey after he became unruly, but the family argues tasing in this circumstance was excessive force. Witnesses say the deputy continued to tase Harvey once he was cuffed.
The Harvey family's attorney shared documents with us from their attorney.
They advise the city of Augusta that the Harvey family will be suing for damages including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other damages allowed.

Article 4, Section 4
Bust out your magnifying glass. We're taking an up-close look at Article 4, Section 4 of the US Constitution.
Quote #1
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
The federal government ensures that each state must maintain a representative form of government; no state is allowed to become a dictatorship. The federal government also promises to protect all the states from foreign military attack, and to come to the aid of the states if they are threatened by uprisings or insurrections.

Prosecutors Target Censorship Critic
For much of the Lee Myung-bak administration, Korea University law professor Park Kyung-shin has been an outspoken critic of the sometimes heavy-handed way that the government has fought its critics.
Mr. Park, from his perch as a commissioner on the Korea Communications Standards Commission and as writer of widely-followed blog on censorship, has even criticized prosecutors who took bloggers and news reporters to court.
Now, the prosecutors are coming after him. The charge: violation of obscenity laws.
Prosecutors last month indicted Mr. Park for including a picture of a naked man on a blog post that discussed South Korea's obscenity rules. The picture, which was not sexual in nature, was of a kind that might be found in medical or sex-education materials. But Mr. Park noted that it was the type of picture that was being ordered removed in from Korean web sites in an uneven application of obscenity laws.
Mr. Park's argued in the blog post that such pictures should be subject to content ratings standards in the way that, for instance, movies are – not simply forcibly removed by legal order.
"For four years, I've been arguing the government should not bring swords into peoples' dialogue," Mr. Park said in an interview. "People are having a conversation. And prosecutors come in brandishing this sword threatening court cases and jail terms. They have a serious chilling effect."
The irony that he is now having the sword turned on him is not lost on Mr. Park.
"I'm very sad that now I'm being prosecuted under formal indictment," which holds the prospect of a jail term, he said. "That shows my criticism has been ineffective for the last four years."
Prosecutors during the Lee administration have taken several prominent government critics to court, including blogger Park Dae-sung, who, writing under the pseudonym Minerva, criticized the nation's currency policy around the time of the Lehman collapse in late 2008. They've also prosecuted reporters at MBC over their reporting on the country's deal to import American beef and a group of people who organized a vocal boycott of conservative newspapers.
In each case, the defendants won. But the effect of the prosecutions, Park Kyung-shin said was to "make people think we can go to jail for saying things, or for starting a dialogue or for asking a question."
Several prominent lawyers have formed a defense team for Mr. Park. He noted some of the lawyers became involved not just because of their interest in free speech but because the case may create precedents that settle some of the ambiguities of South Korea's obscenity laws.
"This is the first time where a serious legal discussion is being criminally prosecuted for including and incorporating such pictures as an illustration," he said.

Yes, I have a very Scottish accent. Quite sexy I'm told.(Original post by DontJudge)
But then that makes it difficult for you lot to be able to work in different countries, because they've changed the system...and are you backing your homeland or dissing-can't quite tell. And i think i'm just doing advanced level 3 kinda thing, is that the same as advanced higher? Btw does this mean you have a scottish accent
I'm neither backing nor dissing it, I was trying to be very neutral about it. But I like the system we have atm, I can't say anything about this new system coming in because no one's experience it yet! But I'd prefer our system to using the English one, not because I think the English system is bad, I just think ours is better
Sorry, I've never heard of an Advanced Level 3 qualification, so no, it's not the same as an Advanced Higher.
Emm, I don't think it'd make it more difficult for Scots to work abroad at all. There are Frameworks in place that allow employers to compare qualifications from other governments to their local ones, plus most people who go to work abroad have a Uni degree, and those are pretty much the same everywhere!

oh so they ARE changing it to the english way, well thats better for the long term. Ofcourse you appreciate your old way, doesn't everyone. Something we need to grasps of is CHANGE. Because it's something that'll always happen. And what dya mean you never heard of level 3-its normal a level!
Well i know two kind of scottish accents that exist. A quite one, girly one that sounds similar to scouse and a really rough, aggressive one-like that scottish comedian that dissed katie price's son. Now be truthfull tell me which one you got!
Normal A Level is Advanced Level 2, I thought?
I think the comedian you're talking about is Frankie Boyle. Yes, I have an accent like his, but my voice is deeper.
Is this the right comedian?
Mind there are waaaaay more accents in Scotland than that, though!

Back when England had O Levels and A Levels, Scotland had them too. But when GCSEs were introduced, Scotland thought they could do better and introduced the new system.

Not quite, before the new system Scotland had O Grades, Highers and Certificate of Sixth Year Studies - basically standard grades (without the different levels), highers and advanced highers.
I just made the assumption from that

(Original post by aspirinpharmacist)
No it doesn't. If Advanced Higher teaches you the same sort of thing you learn in A-level, perhaps with a little bit extra knowledge, depending on who you talk to, then why would that disadvantage us? Sure, it makes entry requirements from English uni's a complete and utter nightmare, but if you want it enough you'll go for the 3 A's. (Looking more and more difficult by the day). A-level and Advanced Higher are basically the same thing. It might make things a tidbit more difficult, going to somewhere with a different education system, but it could be worse.

Do A-levels have the ever-annoying and unpredictable investigations to do?
(Original post by aspirinpharmacist)
If they were asking for A*'s I might be a little more sympathetic.
(Original post by TheUnbeliever)
So far, around 9% of the cohort has received an A* - it's around double (or more) this for an A at Advanced Higher. Equating As with A*s would certainly be unjust.

Why is it that no dentists in this area take Medicaid. Many in this area cannot afford to buy private insurance. However if you need dental work, that's just too bad. You can't find anyone around here who will take it. Why?
We had this issue a few months ago. Dr. William Dillon accepts Medicaid and is taking new patients. Call his office at 471-4335.
I agree wholeheartedly with the SpeakOut caller who speaks of the enemies among us, those who lie, cheat and steal. I have to disagree, however, with the criticism of those who put down our President. If Bush doesn't want criticism, then he shouldn't lie and spread untruths to the American people. We all prefer the truth from our leaders, no matter how much it works. You would think Bush would have learned that from the previous administration. The big difference this time is that the lies coming out of the White House now are costing the lives of our children. We should, as Americans, speak up loudly against Bush, his lies and his failed policies.
Thank you, Mike, for your editorial on the offensive language. My 4-year-old great-grandson uttered the "F-word" one day. His brother, who is 6, said, "He said the really, really bad 'F-word.'" If this word is used openly, how confused will children be? Hey, people, use your good common sense. Think before you speak.
What criteria does the editorial department use to determine what is printed? Last week you had a SpeakOut article from a person who berated President Bush as being close to Osama bin Laden. In fact, said Osama bin Laden was better than President Bush. The person said Bush had "lied, lied, lied" and that he stole money and was basically evil incarnate. Not one article came out opposed to that viewpoint. I sent an e-mail to you and was wondering why it wasn't published. I realize your name is "Standard Democrat," but I thought journalists were supposed to be neutral in all matters and were just supposed to report the facts. I didn't realize your motto was "All the news that fits us."

Lovers of luxury flock here for walks through medieval towns and fairytale forests, for a sumptuous getaway of wine and truffles.
Croatia is fast becoming Europe's darling haven and it's no wonder why. The café culture and galleries of Zagreb seem almost endless, and the churches, forts and old towns of the countryside are in no short supply. To pick out Diocletian's Palace in Split or the Roman fort of Zadar would be unfair, and to highlight the beauty of the Dalmatian islands would be leaving so much out. Plitvice Lakes National Park is yet another draw card to the place, with its collection of blue-green lakes strung together like pearls.
What people say
This is such a well-paced tour; it includes all the highlights of Slovenia and northern Croatia with not too many early starts and plenty of time to see all the places I want to put on my "must return" list! We loved it.
What people say
This trip has an excellent variety of activities, visiting interesting places and includes appropriate activities relevant to the style of trip.
What people say
Well worth making this trip. The Dalmatian Coast is spectacular and the islands beautiful havens. Dubrovnik far more impressive than I had ever imagined.
Croatia travel highlights
Get active on Mljet Island
Along with the island of Hvar, a favourite among the Croatian coastal regions, Mljet is 17% forest. Go cycling, canoeing or simply walking to enjoy the spectacular sights.
Go back to Roman times in Split
It was here that the emperor Diocletian built his Palace, now these remains form part of the city's centre, along with Peristil Square and the famous St Domnius belltower.
Be charmed at Slunj
Yet another of this country's charming villages. The 300-year-old houses here have been restored, sitting among a backdrop of old-worldly waterfalls and cornmills.

So what if Danielle Staub was really fired from The Real Housewives of New Jersey? That's not going to stop the world from hearing the song that's in her heart. Who cares about a reality show when you've got a dance remix? You may have thought things were getting weird when we watched Danielle perform her debut single "Real Close" with "lesbian superstar Lori Michaels" on Watch What Happens: Live, but that was before the hair pull, the lawsuit, Kim G., "square tit," "proverbial," "woman," and "clown." After being called garbage (again) on last night's finale, today, Danielle just wants to dance. Lucky for us, the Morning Show Gods gave her some airtime. Watch Danielle, Lori, and dancers perform "Real Close (Dance Remix)" below:
<embed src="http://widgets.vodpod.com/w/video_embed/Video.4300601" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" AllowScriptAccess="sameDomain" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" flashvars=" width="425" height="350" />
At least she's committed (though not in the way you might have hoped). And yes, they're wearing "Danielle's Mafia" tank tops, but wouldn't it be better if Danny and He Who Doesn't Speak were the backup dancers? (They are a part of Big D's mafia). Will this remix be blasting through speakers at clubs around New York in a month's time? How long until Bravo announces the premiere date for Danielle Attempting a Singing Career?

There are many people, especially women, all over the world who have long been plagued with stretch mark problems. Stretch marks occur whenever the skin stretches out way beyond the normal capacity, causing collagen and elastin fibers to be ruptured. What this leads to is several streaks of thin, reddish skin on the arms, thighs, hips and even around the stomach. Over time, these ruptures will heal, turning into a more silvery set of lines along the skin. Based on clinical studies, stretch marks don't lead to health complications. Based on everyone else's opinions, they are just plain ugly to look at.
In a society that's dominated by the concept of superficial beauty, a woman who suffers from stretch marks may be ripe for criticism and ridicule, especially if she heads out to the beach wearing a skimpy bikini, or even taking a stroll in the park with short sleeved tops and truly short shorts. This can become an issue to her self confidence levels. With that being said, women everywhere no longer have to suffer from such an ordeal. While stretch marks may prove difficult to get rid of, one can simply utilize a number of products that are known to provide the skin with proper nourishment. This would lead to the stretch marks becoming less apparent. Below are just some of those ingredients essential to acquiring healthier and more blemish-free skin.
- Aloe vera is an ingredient that has long been praised by the community for its skin enhancement properties. It is a plant which produces a gel-like extract that people can apply on their skin. However, there are also products such as creams or even pills containing this ingredient which can speed up the healing process of stretch marks. It has also been proven to be a highly potent antioxidant, which means that the body is receiving the proper protection from toxins and free radicals that may slow down healing.
- Cocoa Butter is also something which many people can find in the list of ingredients among beauty and skin care products. In fact, the market is filled with tons of them, providing society with creams and lotions which take advantage of cocoa butter's moisturizing and healing capabilities. This is what makes this ingredient a natural option for people, apart from the fact that it softens the skin and gives it that healthy, flawless look.
- Grape Seed Oil is essentially oil that is extract from pressed grape seeds. It is highly popular and can often be found in many products from a variety of skincare companies. It offers a ton of benefits such as skin toning, providing moisture and also providing antiseptic results. Grape seed oil contains an essential fatty acid called linoleic acid, which proves important if a person wants to maintain the health of his or her skin.
These are three major ingredients that people should be on the lookout for if they're thinking about purchasing stretch mark creams and lotions. All are quite effective in lessening the appearance of stretch marks, thus helping an individual gain more confidence in the quality of their skin.

One year ago, before the proper release of his biggest album yet Delilah, Anderson East played the Bowery Ballroom solo opening for Sturgill Simpson. One year and one day later, many of those passed by on the road including at least three other shows in New York City, East returned to the Bowery stage as the headliner with his full band in tow. The Nashville based artist has seen his star continue to rise and this show was sold out well in advance. And after seeing him several times before, East proved himself to be a capable and versatile headliner. Another Nashville based artist, Andrew Combs opened for East and his set was well-received by the Americana and country loving audience. Combs performed tracks off his two albums, Worried Man and All These Dreams, with the title track from the latter being a particular highlight of his set. Combs then went down to sign autographs for his newly minted fans.

"To outliving your enemies," shouted Priests frontwoman, Katie Alice Greer, to a crowded Music Hall of Williamsburg. Whoever had 'em, or at least those who were comfortable, raised their beers to the death of Antonin Scalia, which had been announced just hours prior. Celebrating anyone's death isn't really anyone's idea of civilized, but if there's ever a place to suspend social pleasantries, it'd be a Priests show. And after all, she did preface it somewhat fairly: "I'm not normally one to celebrate someone's death, but anyone will do a better job than he did on the Supreme Court."
They then whipped into another riot punk number, air-tight rhythm section grooving along while she posed, chanted, rumbled through her ironic lyrics. Priests are a band with conviction, making use of a noisy, Sonic Youth template as a platform for their unruly politics. Their closer, which they introduced as a new one, played big with melody and groove—perhaps their touring companions are rubbing off. Bodes well for a vibrant follow-up to their "Bodies and Control and Money and Power", which itself topped Impose's Best Albums of 2014.
Violinist Dr. L Subramaniam presented his Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival, in collaboration with the World Music Institute, in New York at the 92Y on 5 February 2016. It was a rare US performance, his first here since 2006, for the classically and traditionally trained virtuoso. The crowd at the Y was markedly different from that at a typical event—a sea of brown faces, including mine, turned up (and I believe security seemed heavier than normal inside and with at least one police officer positioned outside the venue).
L. Subramaniam was accompanied by a small group for a mesmerizing Carnatic performance that went over ninety minutes. Seated on the Dr.'s left was his son, Ambi Subramaniam, an acclaimed violinist in his own right. To the side of the father and son were Mahesh Krishnamurthy on mridangam and Ravi Balasubramaniam slapping the ghatam (essentially a clay pot). The elder Subramaniam introduced each of his pieces, the ragas, explaining the time signatures and the key changes. The first raga was Varnam and it began with him solo, then transitioned into a violin call and response with his son before the percussion joined in. Time flew by during the performance as the rich sonics resonated in the auditorium.
As one of PopMatters' "Musical Hopes to Break Out in 2016", Julien Baker is unsurprisingly a very talented artist. What might be surprising to some is that her music is regularly somber and occasionally devastating emotionally. Her sparse debut album Sprained Ankle, released in October 2015, has tough songs that deal with loneliness and depression. This winter, Baker has been generating a lot of buzz on the back of her emotional solo performances.
It was a Wednesday night in the City of Angels and the local freak power congregation was out in force to hear Chris Robinson and company testify. The former Black Crowes vocalist has achieved a rare feat with the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, striking sonic gold with a second band after the dissolution of the one that made him a rock star. But that's what "farm to table rock 'n roll" is all about as the band calls it, a down to earth organic formula of devotion to the rock gods and muses.

After completing a 19-11-1 campaign in 2006 and finishing second to Farmington in the Class 4, District 1 Tournament, the Lady Bulldogs return a talented core of athletes that have varsity-level experience.
"I'm excited about this season and the possibilities it could bring," said Sikeston head coach Steve Beydler, who last season guided the Lady Bulldogs to their best record since the 2000 campaign (23-7).
Seniors Rachel Beydler and Martika Davis are back after being named to the Class 4, District 1 All-Tournament team. At setter, Beydler led Sikeston with 486 assists and service aces with 47. She was second on the Lady Bulldogs' list in digs (182), kill percentage (.269) and serving percentage (93.0).
Although she platooned between outside hitter and middle blocker, Davis had team-highs in kills (209) and kill percentage (.299). Her total of solo blocks (37) was Sikeston's second highest amount last season.
Davis agreed with teammate Beydler that the Lady Bulldogs are ready to begin the 2007 season.
"A few of us played club volleyball and all of us played in summer league in Cape Girardeau," Davis said. "I think it helped learn even more about each other and come together as players on the court."
Sikeston is searching for a replacement for outside hitter Quinn Kaiser, who graduated in 2006 after topping the Lady Bulldogs with 241 digs and a 93.4 percent average in serving. She added 142 kills to place second for Sikeston and was also selected to the Class 4, District 1 All-Tournament team.
Emily Taylor, an outside hitter and back-row defender, and Kiarra Morris, a back-row defender and server, are also gone due to graduation.
Senior Caitlyn Underwood (middle blocker) returns after being a second team All-Southeast Missouri Conference in 2006. At the varsity level, she has 147 kills, 81 blocks and .207 kill percentage during her tenure. Coach Beydler said he has enjoyed watching the progress Underwood has made each year she has been in the prep program.
Senior Jennifer Millington (outside hitter), who played volleyball for the first time in 2006, made 130 digs last season and returns for the 2007 campaign.
Senior Destinee Walker, who has been coached by Beydler since her days in junior high, has been penciled in as an outside hitter. Coach Beydler described her as a powerful hitter who must learn to control the accuracy and the consistency of her hits.
Senior Ali Harper, primarily used a defensive specialist, has sharp serve and, according to coach Beydler, add some front-row capabilities. "She's really consistent with keeping the ball in play," he said.
Juniors Mandy Moore (setter), Andrea Coleman (defensive specialist) are also vying for time in Sikeston's lineup.
"Coming into the season, I was wondering: 'Who is going to step up, who is going fill these roles for us,'" Steve Beydler said. "I am looking for players who will give us consistency in hitting, consistency in passing and consistency in everything. And the girls know that."
Coach Beydler has a lineup that he has put down in pencil, but the consistency of players will ultimately determine the Sikeston rotation.
"When I have to make tough decisions because I have so many girls who could fill different roles, it's a good thing, but a tough situation to be in," said coach Beydler as he described the versatility of his players.
Perennial-power Farmington and Sikeston, with its class of six seniors, are two teams who could be headed for a late rematch at the district tournament level.

Aquascutum, Worn by Churchill, Seeks Asia Lifeline
One of Britain's most iconic brands is falling on hard times. Like another classic British brand, it's looking to Asia's love for checks and trench coats for a lifeline.
Aquascutum, founded in 1851 and manufacturer of trench coats worn by Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill and Greta Garbo, said Tuesday it had entered administration after suffering "significant losses" last year.
But help could be at hand. Hong Kong-listed YGM Trading, which bought the license for Aquascutum in 2009 for markets across Asia, said Wednesday in a statement that it is mulling an opportunity to "further expand its ownership" of Aquascutum worldwide. It said it is in its "initial stage of discussion" to the possible acquisition of the brand's rights outside of Asia.
By contrast, Aquascutum's rival Burberry has successfully reinvented itself over the years by firmly shifting its gaze overseas. On Tuesday, the company reported a 37% increase in sales in Asia-Pacific in the second half of last year, though that had slowed from 70% the year before. The company said China now accounts for 10% of its retail and wholesale market. In the U.K. itself, Burberry makes a high proportion of its sales to tourists. Burberry has singled out Taiwan and Hong Kong as particularly important markets in the past. Deal Journal has more.

Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French and Old Northern French, of Germanic origin; related to gage1 and wed.
engage from Late Middle English:
Gage is an old word that means 'a valued object deposited as a guarantee of good faith' and, as a verb, 'to give as a pledge'. An Old French word related to wage (Middle English) and wedding ( see marry), it is the root of engage. Engage originally meant 'give as a pledge' and 'pawn or mortgage', later coming to express the ideas 'to pledge or guarantee' and 'to enter into a contract'. People have been getting engaged to be married since the beginning of the 18th century: the first recorded example is by Henry Fielding (1707–54), author of Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones.

A trunk is a line or link designed to handle many signals simultaneously, and that connects major switching centers or nodes in a communications system. The transmitted data can be voice (as in the conventional telephone system) data, computer programs, images, video or control signals.
Download Our Guide to Unified Network Management
What does it really take to unify network management? In this guide, we examine today's unified network management tools, which vendors are doing what in the market, and what this means for you, the modern network manager.

Trunks are used to interconnect switches to form networks, and to interconnect local area networks (LANs) to form wide area networks (WANs) or virtual LANs (VLANs). A trunk often consists of multiple wires, cables, or fiber optic strands to maximize the available bandwidth and the number of channels that can be accommodated. A trunk can also be a broadband wireless link. The use and management of trunks in a communications system is known as trunking. It minimizes the number of physical signal paths, and thus the total amount of cable hardware, required to serve a given number of subscribers in a network.
In Cisco networks, trunking is a special function that can be assigned to a port, making that port capable of carrying traffic for any or all of the VLANs accessible by a particular switch. Such a port is called a trunk port, in contrast to an access port, which carries traffic only to and from the specific VLAN assigned to it. A trunk port marks frames with special identifying tags (either ISL tags or 802.1Q tags) as they pass between switches, so each frame can be routed to its intended VLAN. An access port does not provide such tags, because the VLAN for it is pre-assigned, and identifying markers are therefore unnecessary.
