Meridian Community College catcher Wade Wass completed one of the more impressive seasons by a catcher in recent memory at MCC. Wass was named a member of the 2012 NCAA Division I All-American Team that was announced by the NJCAA Tuesday morning. Wass was named a member of the third team and just completed a superb season at the plate for the Eagles. Wass finished the season with 23 home runs which led the NJCAA and collected 67 RBIs, to go along with a .427 batting average. Wass made only six errors behind the plate during the 2012 season and finished with a .984 fielding percentage.
Wass becomes the 18th member of the All-American Team from the Meridian Community College baseball program. Wass becomes the third catcher in school history to be named an All-American joining David Steed (1993-1994) and Braxton Whitehead (1996-1997). Wass is a native of Pensacola, FL and has already signed to continue his college baseball career with the University of Alabama. Wass was also drafted in the 12th round last week by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2012 MLB Draft.

There were 310 total members at camp. Each day was full of activities and learning opportunities, including a team building rope course.
The Taylor County Public Library and its Friends group recently hosted the fourth annual art contest and display.
The contest was open to children of all ages. There were 160 entries by children who completed an art project based upon their favorite book.
The art contest was judged by Taylor County Elementary School art teacher Jeff Walker.
Each child submitting a project received a ribbon. The library donated art books for each first- through third-place winner and honorable mention in six grade categories.
Winners were:
Three Campbellsville residents recently graduated from The Center for Rural Development's Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute.
Caleb Wigginton, Katelyn McMahan and Mollie Williams graduated in a ceremony on Friday, June 17.

MR|Review – Jed Whedon, "History of Forgotten Things"
August 16th, 2010 by mr | Category: MR|Review | Comments Off
Whedon's quirky, warm indie-pop is recommended if you like the Shins, Imogen Heap, or The Postal Service, though Jed's album is more theatrical (in a good way!) and diverse than any of those groups. (Stream 3 tunes here, including the incredible "Tricks On Me," which drew me in to the record.)
UPDATE 19-Aug: As I listen to the record at least once a day, the word that comes to me is "compelling." It's got hooks, yeah, but it's got something more that keeps pulling me back. Beautiful.
Vocal melodies and performances, and production, are "History…"'s strengths. I hang on this album's words in a way I only rarely do, and the lyrics are supported by a strongly identifiable melodic voice and instrumental sounds and arrangements that give each song its own vibe. Whedon covers a lot of territory, too, from the spacey "Ancestors" to the soft alt-country vibe of "Tricks…". Each tune has a sprinkle of wonderful little sonic details; even different sections of songs are jumping out to me after repeat listens (like the bridge in "To Be Money").
A couple songs feature drum fade-ins that highlight the GarageBand-ness of the whole project and forgo the opportunity to make higher-impact entrances, but you may well find that endearing instead of how it mildly disappoints a structure-nerd like me. For future tours and/or recordings, a live drummer (hi!) could add another dimension of rhythmic and dynamic variation to Jed's tunes. The drum programming is good overall, and there are some nice touches, so I assume Jed got what he wanted out of whatever tool he used; I just would have made some slightly different choices in that department.
"History…" bears its relationship to the rest of the Whedonverse – "Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog" and "Commentary! the Musical," "Dollhouse," Felicia Day (who shows up on violin here), Maurissa Tancharoen, and brother Joss – lightly. Previous encounters with this network of artists may add to your appreciation of the album, but are not at all prerequisite. -h
MR|Review – How To Destroy Angels' "Free Digital" EP
June 5th, 2010 by mr | Category: MR|Review | Comments Off
It's hard to imagine a passionate How To Destroy Angels fan. As favorably inclined as I am toward Trent Reznor's work, there's just not much I can recommend here; the "How To Destroy Angels" EP resembles nothing so much as "The Fragile" b-sides, albeit with a better signal-to-noise ratio.
On the other hand, the good news is that the creative partnership between Trent and Mariqueen Maandig works at a fundamental level, and has potential for the future. Concept's solid, it's the execution that fails here. There's just not enough cool ideas to work with as in NIN's better material, and what is here hasn't been used to maximum effect. The result is slightly noisy chillout music; fine, I guess, but nothing I can get excited about. -hvia email and social bookmarking
MR|Review – Ted Leo And The Pharmacists' "The Brutalist Bricks," Broken Bells' "Broken Bells"
March 13th, 2010 by mr | Category: MR|Review | Comments (1)
|MR|Review directs readers' limited attention among works via ratings, and within works via prose, focusing on works where our opinion diverges from critical or popular consensus, or we have significant insight that compliments or challenges readers' aesthetic experience.
I write this as a guy who thinks "Shake The Sheets" is a 5-star record, and got into Ted Leo's older stuff because of it and to the extent that it points toward "Sheets;" "The Brutalist Bricks" is less than the sum of its parts.
Leo & Co.'s inclusion of some fresh sounds – acoustic guitar, synthy noise – are welcome in theory, but make "Bricks" seem a bit too ProTooled. Song arrangements depart from verse/chorus/verse, which, again, seems good on paper but never gels. Wish I could say it did; my hopes were high, but this is a classic record that's for fans only. If you don't love TL+P already, "The Brutalist Bricks" won't convert you.
As impossible as it would seem to predict before hearing "Broken Bells," this superduo's debut – the Shins' James Mercer and Danger Mouse (The Grey Album, Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz' "Demon Days" – sounds about like you'd expect. And it will probably deliver at about the level you anticipate.
I imagine it went down like this:
1) James demo'd some songs
2) DM took each element, chords, vocals, lead lines, etc., and treated them as sample sources for his own re-creations
3) Voila; "Broken Bells."
I'm sure it was more collaborative than that, but that's about what we hear. And it's super-solid; no more, no less.via email and social bookmarking
MR|Review – Spoon's "Transference," Vampire Weekend's "Contra," The xx's "xx"
January 24th, 2010 by mr | Category: MR|Review | Comments Off
|MR|Review directs readers' limited attention among works via ratings, and within works via prose, focusing on works where our opinion diverges from critical or popular consensus, or we have significant insight that compliments or challenges readers' aesthetic experience.
"Transference" poignantly illustrates the difference between "catchy" and "poppy"; it's the former, only.
Songs on Spoon's latest album seem to fall into two categories: arranged and de-arranged*. The arranged tunes are new Spoon classics, the kind of hooky, simmering jams the band has been cranking out since "Girls Can Tell" ("Written in Reverse," "Trouble Comes Running," "Out Go The Lights"). They're so consistent, it would be easy to take them for granted if their consistency didn't make your next favorite band sound like fakers. The arranged stuff gels as songs, with verses and choruses, and reminds me more of older Spoon than "Ga…" or "Gimme Fiction."
The de-arrangements are stuffed full of memorable hooks that are assembled into less-recognizable sections that aren't easily classified into traditional pop structure ("Before Destruction," "Is Love Forever?" "Nobody Gets Me But You"). It's tempting to call this the experimental stuff, but it isn't for Spoon; this type of production has been part of their DNA for a long time, and they pull it off. I'm as likely to sing a catchy part from "Before Destruction" as "Who Makes Your Money?"
Of course the songs exist on a spectrum between the artificial poles of "arranged/de-arranged." The record as a whole plays as a weirdo collection of super-catchy rocking-out bits.
Describing Spoon as minimalist never quite rang true to me. They're economic; they don't waste a note.
"Nobody Gets Me But You" is a great tune, but leaves the album feeling unfinished. It's not a closer; I always think there's one more song to come. Thinking about the psychotherapeutic record title, maybe that's intentional.
Another way I describe the five-star "must-hear" rating is "revelatory." While "Transference" is outstanding, it hasn't yet shown me anything new about music, myself, or the world.
*Note; not "deranged."
Vampire Weekend's debut seemed impossible to follow up; I could not imagine what this record would sound like. Somehow, almost magically, it is perfect. I didn't let myself work up hopes that the band would both experiment and succeed wildly, but if I had they would have been fulfilled.
Beautiful earworm hooks, stellar lines like "Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten" and "My ears are blown to bits / from all the rifle hits / but still I crave that sound…," Afro-pop tones, meticulous performances – they're all here. The arrangements are lightweight and underplayed, ending up being all the more meaningful for it.
Comparing this record to "Transference," I'd give it the edge, which surprises me. I enjoyed "Vampire Weekend," but never figured I'd become as passionate about the band as I have in the past two weeks.
"Contra" and "Transference" have been almost universally lauded by critics. So has "xx" by The xx. The difference is there's nothing special about "xx." It's completely serviceable, nondescript indie music.
Some of my usual haunts – AV Club, P4k, AllMusic – raved about "xx," and it made a ton of year-end lists. If you're hearing something I'm not, I invite you to comment and set me straight.
MR|Review – U2, "No Line on the Horizon"
March 14th, 2009 by mr | Category: MR|Review | Comments Off
|MR|Review directs readers' limited attention among works via ratings, and within works via prose, focusing on works where our opinion diverges from critical or popular consensus, or we have significant insight that compliments or challenges readers' aesthetic experience.
"No Line on the Horizon" realizes a nearly-complete synthesis of "The Unforgettable Fire"'s aching, open-skied soundscapes and the amped-up, cut & pasted "…Atomic Bomb." Walking a middle line critically, I find "No Line…" to be a good album both in context of the band's discography, and the current state of rock music. It hits the right touchstones and pushes some boundaries, though individual listeners seem to be hearing more of either one or the other.
The opening title track matches an ominous "Achtung"-ish verse with a neo-classical-U2 chorus organically, sounding vastly better than it looks on paper. "Magnificent" succeeds almost in spite of demo-level lyrics and melody – a bit more revision would have gone a long way – yet this is the familiar story of much of U2's best work. Producer Brian Eno's famous preference for early takes and spontaneous performances shines through, and generally works, the fact that it's been five years since U2's last album notwithstanding.
To the record's vast credit, seven of the eleven songs have lodged in my mind for whole days in the week or so since I picked it up. Nothing galvanizes a universal moment quite like "Beautiful Day" did; nothing tries; "No Line…" generates its glimmers of infinity in the particulars. "Moment of Surrender" finds its connection standing at the ATM, "I'll Go Crazy…" in self-deprecation, and the impeccable "Breathe" in simply surviving from one second to the next.
I fully expect these songs to gel further on tour, in the tradition of "Bad," "A Sort of Homecoming," "In A Little While," and "New York." "No Line…" isn't as self-contained as the band's essential "Achtung Baby," with its de- and re-constructed edgy pop, or the eternal anthems of "The Joshua Tree." It wrestles with uncertainty. It swaggers ("Get On Your Boots") and stretches ("Unknown Caller") and asks if that's what we want from U2 in 2009.
Can we stand it?
Bono shapes insights like "The stone was semi-precious/We were barely conscious/Two souls too smart to be in the realm of certainty/Even on our wedding day," vivid images ("She said 'Time is irrelevant, it's not linear'/Then she put her tongue in my ear") then climbs up to the pulpit crying "Soul rockin' people on and on/C'mon ye people/We're made of stars… Stand up for your love" – do we need him to choose? Contradiction, imperfection; forces in a tension that, for the moment, produce magic.
I was prepared to love this record and, accordingly, bought it on vinyl. It was the right choice; songs that variously soar, burn, and pummel are predictably over-compressed on CD and digital.
"No Line on the Horizon" is a rewarding listen, becoming more substantial with time. It sits comfortably with "War," "The Unforgettable Fire," "Pop," and "All That You Can't Leave Behind" in U2's second tier of studio efforts; perhaps, rather than the gushing of fans and griping of haters, the range of critical responses is a solid indicator of U2's improbable relevance.via email and social bookmarking

~I wanted to say thank you for offering such a supportive, non-judgmental environment for me at this point in my pregnancy. I really appreciate the time you take with us prego ladies. I learned a lot and will recommend your classes to any of my friends for sure.
Amanda E. Gorham, ME
~I wanted to thank you for the great yoga breathing techniques I learned from you! I ended up being able to breathe through all my contractions so well that when I was admitted to the hospital I was fully dilated! I definitely owe a lot of that to yoga! I think I was able to handle all my contractions the way I did because of what I learned in your Pregnancy Yoga class!
Lauren H. New Gloucester, ME
~I wanted to let you know how very much I like these videos. I have been able to use them a couple times each week, and they are absolutely great. Perfect for a morning yoga session before heading off to work. Thanks so much for doing this.
Gini A. Yarmouth, ME
~I thought your videos were light and you made them easy to follow without making the audience feel inferior to you. I enjoyed the class, possibly better than I may have in a classroom setting where I may have felt more anxious and peer pressured. Through starting this class I have changed other life habits to better myself such as trying to eat healthier, drink more water and breath. Your instruction was very thorough and I appreciate that you are an instructor who was and is still willing to answer questions. Thank you for this opportunity.
Aisha H. Richmond, ME
~First and foremost, you are an excellent yoga instructor. You have the perfect voice and rhythm. I love the idea of the online yoga, and I love your style.
Joy L. Naperville, IL
~The videos have been wonderful. I am really enjoying practicing at home (in pajama's most of the time!), and finding comfort in my own space. It feels just like being at a class, since most of the time my eyes are closed anyhow. :)
Geanette T. Buxton, ME
~I just wanted you to know that I did the first Yoga video and I feel great. I thought your pace was great, and your voice was very soothing and relaxing. Thank you.
Mark A. Winterport, ME
~After all of the videos I found myself feeling awesome, totally energized and proud of my accomplishments but also very relaxed at the same time.
Melissa M. E. Waterboro, ME
~I did yoga online tonight. At first it seemed counter intuitive to be touching a laptop while striving for Zen....worlds collide! But it was awesome! It was nice to practice at any time of day and since I chose evening I was ready for bed after enjoying relaxation pose. You did a very professional job filming! Thank you for providing this special self care opportunity which allows us to practice in our own home!
Amy D. Piedmont, NH
~I can't tell you how nice it was to put both kids to bed, roll out my mat and have someone guide me through yoga.
Christine T. Buxton, ME
~I just started my morning with some yoga, thanks to the online program! Such a nice treat! THANKS, Amanda, this may be the only way I successfully fit yoga into my hectic schedule!
Sarah M. Gorham, ME
~I am so thankful for Yoga Online. I practiced yoga about 3x a week for several years, but since moving to San Diego and having to find a new studio I seemed to have lost my passion for it. It didn't help that attending large group sessions made me distracted. I started having trouble staying centered and focused and I couldn't find classes that were offered at a convenient time. So, when you sent me the email about the opportunity to participate in Yoga Online, it seemed like the perfect fit...and it has been! Even this week, when I am out of town on business and staying in a hotel, I was able to bring my mat and practice yoga without leaving my suite!
I also love being able to start my days with Yoga Online. During this week's yoga session (before tree pose) you said something about taking the time to center ourselves so that our tree is stronger. This has stuck with me and is something I carry with me during the day. I repeat that statement in my head whenever work gets too hectic or demanding because it reminds me to take a moment and breathe.
Thank you, again, for offering Yoga Online. I wish I could visit your studio, but appreciate having Holistic Pathways come to my living room over 3000 miles away!
Erika W. San Diego, CA

ok so i started on air alert IV and it help my vertical i got 2 weeks to finishe so my vertical its not at its peek yet but my problem is that i only do rimgrazers(technically a weak dunk) and i want to do more agressive dunks so i record myself so that someone could tell me some tips or advice to help my dunks and since its something important if your advice helps ill post the air alert IV exercises or email you the workout free so watch the vid and give me some advice heres the link:? http://youtu.be/YhgnKd6lc1g
Firstly I ask do you practice driving to the basket? by that I mean bouncing the ball?
Also do you practice jumping and grabbing the ring off a short 2-3 step jump?
The reason I ask is your run up seems uneasy like your concentration is focused on balancing the ball one handed and your leap is second thought reaction when coming up to the basket..
I would recommend starting closer to the basket and developing the short explosive leap and getting hand over rim, then moving the game out gradually.
Make it move and flow more natural in your technique
well gruanch i first practice just dunking with out driving to the rim because my ball has almost no grip and its difficult to palm the ball and i never practice the short 2-3 step jump but everyday i touch the rim i can grab the rim but the rim is to rusty and its really difficult to hang on the rim but thanks ill try that today
Your dunk is okay, but it isn't a realistic game-like dunk. You need to dribble the ball while you are going up to dunk, and since you are not at that point where you can do that yet, here are some suggestions to help.
1.) Stand in front of the backboard, and and do backboard taps. Jump as high as you can each time, and when you go up tap the back board with both hands. Go at a consistent rate. If you do this often, it will help with jumping.
2.) Toe Raises - I know it may sounds stupid, but this helps to build calf muscle, which helps you jump higher. Stand in your feet, and lift your self on your toes and go up and down.
3.) After doing these two things and your own workout you said you do, practice driving to the basket hard. However first i would trying just a dunk with no running start and practice that first. Once you get good at that, then practice driving hard to the basket, while dribbling the basketball.
Hope this helps, good luck!

We were staying in a cabin and I stepped on a scorpion. I don't recall the pain, I do recall hopping up and down crying.
I am not much for camping though I do love the forest.
If the last day of the school year lasted as long as this story arc, the kids could spend next September wondering which one of them dynamited the school.
Freddog and I are backpacking this week in the high sierra. Love the solitude of the wilderness at night after being terrified of it in my much younger years (I'm 66). He's not big on sleeping in a tent but I don't want him chasing bears or marmots!
I've done my time camping. These days "roughing it" involves bad cable in the hotel room. ;)
Poison ivy and leeches on the same day. After that, forget camping, period.
Never caught poison ivy while camping. I hope the bears who raided my food did.
Very helpful website:
My childhood memory of my family camping out, was of staying in a tent while it poured the whole week.
We never went camping again after that.
Oh, I am SO envious! I love being away from the city and seeing all the stars. Hiking is the best – I go crazy over all the woodsy, outdoor smells. You and Freddog have a marvelous time!
This whole "what I will do this summer" series of comics has gone on so far that my kids actually started back in school today.
August 4th???
We tried a nice hotel once. The kids were bored in less than an hour. I'll take a week camping in the great outdoors over a resort hotel any day.
I would have loved to have gone camping. But when my dad had his vacay he stayed home the entire time getting screamed at by my mother. From morning till night every day he would lie in his bed with a pillow over his face, waiting for my mother to calm down. As the time progressed she would get more nervous and would scream louder and more frequently. She just didn't want him in the house. For my dad it was a contest of wills. It was his house. He was replaying the drama of his childhood when his mother couldn't stand him. His mother had the power to kick him out, but his wife didn't.
You all need to try better places to camp. The Rocky Mountains, for instance, where biting and sucking creatures are few and far between, and poison ivy is rare. The days are sunny but not hot, with low humidity. It is a pleasure to be outdoors in the right location.
My summers were already spent camping in a way. I would walk in the woods around our house. The problem is there was no wildlife and sewers would leak into the creeks. It would have been great to experience the outdoors in a clean environment with animals to see and fish to catch.

The crisis in journalism is really a crisis in advertising. The depth of recession has had a calamitous effect on publishers' revenues and that puts pressure on the creative side of the business.
There has always been a symbiotic relationship between journalism and advertising. Good journalism creates a good place to advertise. Commercially successful publications tend to breed good journalism.
But companies shouldn't just consider advertising as a way of preserving a marketing environment. Advertising during a recession works.
This from Direct Marketing magazine 1991:
[The American Business Press (ABP) analysed] the severe 1974 to 1975 recession. Relying on questionnaires submitted by advertisers, the study tracked the sales and profits growth of 173 industrial companies between 1972 and 1977. The companies were divided into two groups: those that reduced advertising during the recession; and those that did not reduce advertising.
The study found that the companies that reduced advertising achieved minimal sales growth in 1974, suffered a sales decline in 1975 and increased sales by 70 percent during the five-year period. For companies that maintained their ad budgets, sales suffered no slowdown during the recession and grew 150 percent for the entire period. Profits showed a similar pattern. Most notably, the momentum gained by the steady advertisers during the recession helped them to grow at a faster rate in 1976 and 1977.

Welcome to the Southeast Louisiana Refuges Complex
You are invited to take a virtual tour of these eight refuges by viewing the links to the left.
The mission of these refuges and the National Wildlife Refuge System is to administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management and where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife and plant resources and their habitats within the United States for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans. These refuges are representative of the rich and varied habitat and wildlife resources of the coastal region of the state. They are part of a network of over 540 refuges throughout the country that are administered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS).
SELA Refuges Complex Headquarters Location
The Southeast Louisiana Refuges' headquarters is located on a beautiful property in Lacombe, LA on Hwy 434 two miles south of I-12 (Exit 74). Watch for the Big Branch Marsh Refuge sign. Office Hours are 7 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday. Our phone number is (985) 882-2000. The headquarters property is known as "Bayou Lacombe Centre."
Refuge Visitor Center
The refuge complex has opened its visitor center located at the complex headquarters address above. The center displays exhibits about all eight refuges managed by the Southeast Louisiana Refuges Complex. Staffed by volunteers, the visitor center is open Thursdays-Saturdays from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Volunteers are needed to help run the visitor center. Please contact the volunteer coordinator at 985-882-2024.
Wild Things will be held October 17, 2015
This annual family event is hosted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and The Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges, Inc. An action-packed day is held at the 110-acre Bayou Lacombe Centre in Lacombe, LA from 10am to 5pm. There are over 40 guest exhibitors annually. For a video of the event, click here. Check out the color flyer.
Kids line up to build birdhouses, learn how to canoe, spin-cast for prizes at the casting pond, learn to shoot a bow and arrow, and take part in dozens of hands-on learning experiences at the many booths and displays throughout the grounds. There are also live snakes, alligators, lizards, hawks, owls and other critters to see and touch. They can learn about wildland fires and shoot the fire hose, or take part in the kid's birding activity to learn keys to identify birds. There are Pontoon boat tours on the bayou, van tours to more remote refuge spots, and the "hayride shuttle" that links everything together and adds adventure to the day.
For adults, Youth Wildlife Art viewing of over 500 pieces of art from throughout the region and relaxing and enjoying live music will be some of your favorites. Every year, over 4,000 guests join us to celebrate National Wildlife Refuge Week at Wild Things. It's all here every year, and it's all free! Local food will be available for purchase to benefit the Friends of Louisiana Refuges.
Wild Things Youth Art Contest - Young Artists Wanted!
The Wild Things Youth Art Contest and Exhibition is held every year in conjunction with Wild Things. The contest is open to youth from ages 5 to 18 in the mediums of drawing and painting. Prizes and ribbons are awarded to first, second, and third place winners and honorable mention winners receive ribbons. The art is on exhibit throughout the festival event and winners are recognized at an informal awards ceremony. Download a rules and entry form!
Public Canoe Tours on Big Branch Marsh Refuge
Stop by our updated Calendar of Events page to learn more about public canoe trips. The link is at the top of this page, to the left.
Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges is a non-profit, membership organization that supports and advocates for the SELA Refuges. They sponsor several of the refuge annual events, obtain grants to support refuge projects, conduct fund-raising activities to support environmental education programs and help us operate and maintain the refuge facilities and programs by conducting weekend "work-play" days. We appreciate their support and encourage others to become members of the "Friends" organization.
Federal Junior Duck Stamp Competition
Each year, five judges selected winners from the Louisiana entries in the Federal Junior Duck Stamp art competition. The 2013 Junior Duck Stamp competition will be held by Tensas National Wildlife Refuge.
The 2011 Louisiana Best of Show is a painting of a Green-winged teal floating in the water by Alexandra Sauer of Benton, Louisiana. Alex's artwork was sent to the Federal Duck Stamp Office for the national competition. The national winning picture each year will be made into the Federal Junior Duck Stamp which sells for $5.00 and promotes wetland conservation.
The federal Junior Duck Stamp Program encourages "conservation through the arts." Entries must depict a species of North American waterfowl in its natural habitat. Winners are selected on the accuracy of anatomy, color and habitat as well as picture composition.
Each Junior Duck Stamp participant is also encouraged to write a conservation statement. One winner in each age group is selected in the conservation statement contest.

"Most personal struggles and relationship issues result from problems with the relationship with the self, rooted in relational injury experienced earlier in life. Therapy involves a dual process of understanding and healing the wounds we have experienced; and healing the relationship with the self. Identifying where we are off in our relationship with ourselves helps us to improve self-esteem; have healthy, fulfilling relationships; and take charge of the areas of our lives that feel unmanageable."

Are the studios already campaigning and pushing actors in categories they don't belong? I can't think of any other reason why Jamie Foxx would be considered as a supporting actor for "Collateral." He was certainly more of a protagonist than Cruise.
I'm not sure what to think about Streep in "Manchurian Candidate." She's an actress that the Academy loves, of course, and she's playing against type here. But do you think her against-type role would make the Academy excited that she's taking chances, or do you think it would make the Academy confused and frightened of this new Meryl Streep? This situation must have some precedent, but I can't think of any for the life of me.
- Login to post comments
Actually, both of these questions can be answered with one movie:
Training Day
Ethan Hawke = lead
campaigned as supporting
Denzel Washington = nice and Academy loved
wins for evil role
Meryl is winning great reviews for her work, and the Academy will take any excuse to nominate her. She's not a sure thing, but she's a very big contender.
I'm pretty sure that they'll be campaigning Foxx as supporting to avoid cancelling out with his role in Ray, the Ray Charles biopic. Also, two leads are hearder to pull off, and Tom Cruise is more of a sure thing.

Guys, I remember the days when underscores worked in spacing lists...I also remember when articles were automatically formatted exactly as they were written. How do I manage to put spaces between paragraphs without the underscore showing?
I miss the simple times when candy was a nickel, and millionaires threw silver dollars from zepplins. Why do teenagers dress so crazy? There are too many demycrats in office! I'm afraid to go to sleep....
- Login to post comments
Underscores should still work when the lists aren't highlighted. If you want to be sneaky, just use all the underscores you want, save, and then edit one non-underscored line, and it should look the way you want (though only the one line will show up in Recent Activity).
You can put spaces between paragraphs by typing BR in between a < and a >. It will put more than one line of space though.
It puts
that much space.

One of the longest-standing items on my "to fix" list is how screwy some things look with highlighting on (especially how it hoses underscore behavior).
- Login to post comments
Stumpy's solution to this problem is to just create such lists as articles instead. You don't need to use underscores in articles, and since it looks like you're suppressing the bullets on every line anyway, maybe that would be the way to go.

Lol, I tried to clone your list, but then realized I haven't seen many 2004 films and don't plan to before the 2004 oscar nominations arrive.
But man, looking over this list, 2004 is shaping up to be a pretty bad year! Let's hope the second half of the year is MUCH better than the first (they usually are, but this time it'll have to be WAAAAAY better).
If Fahrenheit 9/11 WINS any awards (even best documentary), it will only cement my belief that the Oscars have become just another political platform (as if the last two years weren't any indication).
And if Spider-Man 2 or Shrek 2 win any awards, I'll be pissed off (I'm fairly certain both Shark Tale and The Incredibles will be better animated films than Shrek 2).
- Login to post comments
Oh God I hope that The Incredibles is better than Shrek 2.
I haven't seen very many of these movies, most of this is based on early "buzz" behind the films. A great site to visit to see very fun and extensive Oscar predictions is www.thefilmexperience.net. I've found it invaluable.
Wait a minute, are you saying that The Fog of War and Bowling for Columbine aren't great films? Because we may have a little discussion on our hands if so.
Oh, and the first half of the year was FULL of good stuff. Eternal Sunshine, Dogville, Before Sunset, Spider-Man 2 (despite your qualms, I thought it was wonderful entertainment), Mean Girls, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Harry Potter...they've not been bad so far.
Also, I have yet to see Goodbye Lenin, Spring, Summer..., Hero, Colaterall, Garden State, and a number of other acclaimed films.
- Login to post comments
Hmmm? I never said Fog of War and Bowling for Columbine aren't great films. I said Fahrenheit 9/11 wasn't.
Eternal Sunshine is the best movie I've seen thus far. Dogville is a 2003 release, isn't it? Or is it eligible for 2004 academy awards? Haven't seen Before Sunset, Mean Girls, or Kill Bill 2, Harry Potter, but I doubt they'd compare (in my book) to Return of the King, Lost in Translation, Finding Nemo, American Splendor, Monster, In America, or Mystic River of last year.
I do intend to eventually see all those above, though (possibly not Potter).
See, I didn't find Spider-Man 2 to be a great movie OR great entertainment. I was endlessly bored and frustrated by the hours of silly soap-opera melodramatic dialogue, and the ending was a huge dissapointment. And Kirsten Dunst sucks at acting. And... well, I could go on forever.

When you said that the last two years were very political, I assumed you were referring to the past two documentary winners. Sorry!
Dogville is a 2004 American release, and therefor counts as a 2004 Academy contender. Most of my lists go by American date, so I include it.
Last year, my favorites were Return of the King, Elephant, Kill Bill: Vol 1, Lost in Translation, and Peter Pan. I thought last year was actually a pretty awful year for movies. This year has a much stronger start.
Spider-Man 2 was so completely tongue-in-cheek in so many ways, that the dialogue didn't bother me. Also, if a movie is based on a comic book, and comic books (especially Spider-Man) are essentially serialized soap operas, what's the problem with having a soapy movie?

Heh. I don't think any Spiderman comic book contained Aunt May's 20-minute speech that felt like a recitation of a college essay responding o the question, "What does it mean to be a hero?" The comic writers' hands would cramp up. :-)

For people that like soap operas, there's no problem at all. For people like me, I vastly preferred the X-Men movies. And, if you including ALL comic books (not just superhero ones), my favorites (and mostly non soap-opera type) are here.
I had a blast with last year (but Peter Pan sucked). I thought it was better than 2000 and 2002. To each his own.

I'm afraid Dogville can't be considered for a 2004 award. It was released in France first, and the USA later, in 2003.
- Login to post comments
Well, it was released in the US in 2004, and the Oscars go by American release date. The only time foreign release dates apply is when the film is considered for Foreign Language Film.

Predictions are fun and all, but you really never know... because would anybody have predicted Johnny Depp for Pirates of the Carribean before that movie opened? I wonder what surprises this year's movies will still bring?
- Login to post comments
Well, there was quite a buzz surrounding his performance building from about 2 weeks before the movie came out, once a few critics had seen the movie.
But yeah, I see your point.
- Login to post comments
There may have been buzz a few weeks before the movie's release, but earlier in the year people were predicting it would be an enormous bomb and criticizing Johnny Depp for selling out. Which is why I find it so great that it was such a success...

True, but that's sorta the fun. Out of left field nominations are the best. It would be incredibly boring if I scored 100%.
- Login to post comments
have you done this before? If so, how well did you do?
- Login to post comments
I tend to do pretty well. If you check my profile, you'll see predictions from the past two years.
Some of them were 100%, some were 20%, but I pay attention to awards and buzz, so I generally do pretty okay.

Great list! I think 'The Aviator' is definetly a hot candidate for 'Best Picture' and 'Best Director' (will Scorsese finally get his Oscar?).
I can't wait till the nominations are announced.
- Login to post comments
The Aviator "buzz" has been faltering recently. But then again, I've also changed my mind about Closer and have slightly dimmed my view on The Passion's chances after having seen it.
This list will updated pretty soon. Lots of changes...

Has Sideways been getting a lot of Oscar buzz? That makes me happy. I REALLY wanna see that movie, even now that it's gotten 1 bad review out of 106 to blemish it's formerly 100%-fresh record.
- Login to post comments
And why is three stars considered rotten anyway? It's the same rating he gave to The Incredibles.
- Login to post comments
Yeah, I agree. The Houston Chronicle review seemed favorable to me. However, now it's up to 2 bad reviews out of 112, and the review by those idiots at salon.com is definitely bad. Ah, well. There are so many incompetent movie critics in America that it's tough for even the best movies to get shut-outs.

As you know, it has gotten fantastic reviews, and Alexander Payne is a very well respected presence in Hollywood.
This may be his breakout movie, and this also maybe the "indie" slot of the year.
- Login to post comments
Yeah, I saw the great reviews the movie has been getting, but that certainly doesn't always mean Oscar buzz. And of course, Payne's About Schmidt had some buzz going in but ended up with nothing, and that had Academy favorite Jack Nicholson to boot. I dunno, but I hope you're right!
- Login to post comments
The Station Agent didn't have the distinction of being the best reviewed film of the year, nor did it have such a well-respected helmer behind it. About Schmidt ended up with two noms, but it was not getting the same kind of reviews that Sideways is. About Schmidt was seen as Jack's show, while Sideways appears to be loved across the board.
Right now, reports from California say that the screenings of the film are going well, and I can definitely see it picking up some critics awards. All of these things combined will probably give it a strong enough push to brak through at least a couple of categories. My BP prediction is a little out on a limb, however.
- Login to post comments
True, The Station Agent wasn't the best-reviewed film of 2003, but the real best-reviewed film of 2003 had even less Oscar buzz. I think that while Oscar winners tend to be well-reviewed, small distinctions about exactly how well-reviewed they are rarely matter to the Academy. In fact, if you look at Rotten Tomatoes' Best-Reviewed Films of 2003 list, you'll find the Best Animated Feature winner and the Best Documentary winner in the top 10, but you have to go down to #18 and #21 to find films with any buzz for the important awards. And after that, you have to go way down to #44. That's pretty much it for the top 50, and while there were some more Oscar contenders in the bottom 50, I think any connection between Oscar competition and reviews is tenuous at best.
Now, if you're talking about RT's weighted averages, which I believe take into account how many reviews were written (somewhat penalizing indies with more limited releases), you've got #2 and #3 being big contenders as well as #21 and #25, but even with this system that is clearly more skewed towards bigger films, Oscar contenders don't do too well.
This may seem like going to great lengths to refute a small component of your argument, but I was curious myself to see how the best-reviewed movies compared to the top Oscar contenders. That is a good point about Schmidt, too. But if the boring Oscars from last March are any indication, I wouldn't place any bets on Sideways quite yet. On the other hand, who knows? Maybe they'll surprise us like they did in March 2003.

Oh AAA, don't toy with me like that! Julie Delpy?? Really?? I mean, she was amazing in Before Sunset, but I never thought she'd get an Oscar nod! I really want to believe you, but first tell me, what caused you to make this prediction?
- Login to post comments
Well, here's the way I see it:
This year, Best Actress is a strange category. Instead of a glut of performances (such as in Best Actor), we have a dirth of likely nominees. Everyone is predicting the last slot to go to either Uma or Catalina. However, looking at past years, I think that this huge gap between the #4 contender's likelihood and the #5's will result in a major surprise.
The other reason I am predicting this way is that everyone is predicting (by everyone, I mean Oscarwatch's boarders and some print columnists) the same contenders in every single category. Anyone who looks back at past nominees will tell you that the final concensus predictions are NEVER, NEVER, NEVER 100%. So, I have to put myself out on a limb in some categories. Julie Delpy's talk has never died down, despite being ignored by every single awards group...therefore, I believe that she may still have a chance to land at #1 on a few ballots.
Really, I'm just gonna be kicking myself when Catalina gets the slot.
- Login to post comments
Well, I was about to say that it's rare for a performance with virtually no buzz at all to get nominated, but that's exactly what happened last year with Keisha, and that was for Best Actress too. The Academy is pretty fickle sometimes. Who knows, maybe they actually all loved Before Sunset and it'll get a Best Picture nom too!
Well, maybe not. But I really hope you're right in predicting that longshot.
- Login to post comments
I definitely had last year's Best Actress contenders in mind when I made this list. If you remember, it wasn't just Keisha that shocked. Somehow, Samantha Morton managed to snag a nomination, even though her performance had been soundly ignored.
So, tomorrow must hold some surprises. Let's hope they're good ones.

I know, I know...I don't want it either (though, to be fair, I haven't seen Vera Drake), but it's obvious that the movie had a lot more support than expected, and this could be the consolation prize.

SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Lincecum has tweaked his delivery, altered his workload between starts, changed his diet, and even his hair, trying just about anything in recent years to rediscover his old Cy Young form.
Maybe his first career no-hitter will do the trick at last.
"I think any time you throw that well, which he's been throwing the ball well even before that, should do a lot for his confidence," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's in a good place. His delivery and where he's at as far as confidence, I like where Timmy's at."
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner will pitch again Monday night for the Giants against the Cincinnati Reds, giving the home fans at AT&T Park a chance to cheer his July 13 no-hitter at San Diego that provided the first-half highlight for the reigning World Series champions.
Lincecum took some time to celebrate the latest special moment in what has become an up-and-down career, albeit not for long. The right-hander returned to his hometown of Seattle during the All-Star break for some relaxation and time away, relishing that remarkable 148-pitch gem.
Now, he's sticking to his mantra of not getting too high or too low about a particular outing and moving on to the next with the same, steady approach. He'll be pitching on eight days rest Monday.
"I had my time to enjoy it and celebrate it with my family and friends. That time has passed and it's time to move on and get ready for my next start," Lincecum said.

Lucasfilm Goes for Trolltech's Qt
Lucasfilm Limited, famous for its movie projects such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones, will be using Qt as the user interface for the development of digital entertainment software in future.
Steve Sullivan, Director of Research and Development, explained the move: "Our previous UI framework was already stretched to a point that could no longer meet our growing needs, and signing on with Trolltech was the smart move for us. Using Qt will not only save us time and money, but also let us focus more on innovation." Lucasfilm had already used Qt for a number of smaller projects, appreciated the user-friendly experience, and the options it opened up for cross-platform development. Besides Lucasfilm other major animation studios, such as Walt Disney Feature Animation and Sony Pictures Imageworks all rely on the Qt platform by Norwegian developers Trolltech.

The next morning I woke up to find my favorite camping food.. berries - now why I love berries is because they are succulent, delicous, mouth watering and these I wasn't sure what they were but I'm venturing a guess that they were boisen berry.. if not Jordy had a picture so when he would have to take me to the hospital they'd know..!!
We made it into Lillooet and were both happy and sad at the same time, as the forest fire was in the town. Happy that it wouldn't impact our plans, but sad at the same time for the people who live here and the fear they must go through when the fires rage so close to their front doors. We sat in awe at the Helicopters as they picked up the buckets of water and dropped them on the fire, the precision they must have. As well how does water ever make it onto the fire, as it seems so much streams out of the buckets as they head towards the fires.
After cooling down a bit with a slushie and getting gas we headed on up the road that goes to our destination - Fools Gold in Shulaps, and what an amazing beautiful drive it turned out to be. The Horseshoe Canyon amazing, we didn't want to pull the Jeep to close to the edge as we feared we might be the next ones down it!After making the stop there we continued on up until we passed the sweetest little river that looked so cool & refreshing, alas mean Mr. Turtle wouldn't allow me to play - I had to navigate him somewhere and to play would be my reward.. So I went along for the ride and we made the final turn on to the final FSR that would take us to the top. Along the way we passed Albert's house - how do we know's it's Albert - Well his Lizard told us so! One of those funny things you see, the huge lizard was just sitting in the tree guarding shrek's swamp.. lol
After the momen of humor we continued on up the switch backs, all the while getting closer and wondering when we would reach the top and what obstacles would be in our way - we made one wrong turn down a spur for a few moments but quickly turned ourselves around and headed up the correct route. We finally made it to the top and were in awe that there was nothing in the way, nothing that woud discourage one.. all that was left between us and the cache was 300 meters and a fear that someone had been here and forgot to sign the book - like last time!
We climbed to the top making sure not to look down and get veritgo and were greated with some of the most amazing sights we have seen, and reminders of the wa and reason we like to cache. It's about where it takes you, what you get to see and experience.. Not about the numbers. We took in the 360 degree view and tried to get some footage, my audio got drowned out by the wind - but I think you can get the idea!
It was then time to head back down the mountain, victorious that we got the FTF! The first of the weekend.. we headed back to Lillooet arriving in there about 7 PM, and watched the helicopters some more. Lillooet had had a farmers market running earlier and they were now setting up for a celebration of some sort. I can not think of a town that would need it more. To have the fire burning at your back door, less then 1500 meters up the hill would make even the strongest of people unsettled.
We then headed over to Cache Creek to head towards our next destination High Thynne - yet another FTF that Jordy had the fever for. On the way there we passed through Cache Creek, outskirts of Kamloops & Merrit. Never in my life have I seen such an amazing thunder storm. I tried and tried and tried to get pictures and video but it continued to ellude me no matter how hard I tried. We did manage to pass over the 5 mud slides on the road from Cache Creek to Kamloops without it stopping us.
But the lightening covered the entire area from Vancouver, up the canyon to lillooet, over to Kamloops and back down along the Coquihalla and the dancing lights had me more then a bit nerous and the thought of all that lightening and the consequences it would bring. I've always feared fire - for good cause, sometimes a bit anxiety and panic ridden but hey better safe then sorry. We arrived at the Brookemere turn off and headed up there and into the Misty Mountains in search of another Plastic Tupperware FTF! We headed on up past the FCC & Andy's lake, on up passed the turn off, on up the road, on up the turns and higher and higher until we rounded the corner and orange embers glowed in the distance.
NOOOO!!! There must be a fire, quick do we have cell service - yes we do, call 911 report forest fire says Mrs. Turtle she dials - thankful for Cell Service talks to the operator gives her the coordinates, describes the position and that they are about a mile from the Coquihall and the fire is bigger then a house - it's in 2 lines - must have been an amazing bolt of lightening that did it - and just as the operator has to go there is another call and she'll have forrestry call them back do I clue in.. although a moment too late - that it is not a fire, through the pouring rain at the top of Thynne Mountain I am seeing the lights on the road before.. DOLT!!! I am Now before I go on I am reminded that I did see the geocachers ultimate dream -Hudreds and hundreds of little green boxes!!
|From 4 FTF's!
It is now midnight and I am tired, Mr. Turtle is tired it is dark and it is raining and it is lightening and we are at a fire lookout with radio towers around us - hoping they will take the lightening strike. And Mr. Turtle looks at the GPS - 130 meters or something that direction to which is ready to give up his precious FTF at this point. I tell him no! In my cranky state if you dragged me up here this late at night I want my find - grab your man card, a sweater and let's grab the dying flash lights to find it. To which we wander off hand and hand to the cliff in the dark (or what we think is a cliff) together by the dim light hoping to have to walk back to more then the light of the GPSR. We find what.. a lined rock pathway that leads to the helicopter pad.. lol We then feel safer figuring the grizzlies would safe in their dens so quickly find it. Jordy eccstatic that he gets the FTF after all that!
We then retire to the jeep and make the trek back down a bit quicker and off to the cabin for a good solid 11 hour sleep until noon. We wake up and noon & visit with Alvin and the munks feeding them some peanuts, have coffee on the back deck and plan the days adventures - 3 more potential caches - the new one on Rabbit Mountain and the 2 at the falls. The cabins up at Rabbit Mountain were special as Jordy & I had tried to find them some time ago but had failed. Thankfully for caching we got to discover them again - thank you for that. We made the quick run up there but after finding the caches had to turn around as now there was a log in the way the other direction.
|From 4 FTF's!
We left the cabins and headed back down River road towards our final 2 stops of the day - Way to the falls and the waterfalls themselves. Great minds think alike and we had been planning on placing a cache here for the last year, just timing never seemed to avail itself. We climbed down the little hillside and found the mining equipment below. Pretty sure it belongs to our friend Will, who we think stays in the trailer above. Really cool guy - if you're on his goodside!
We hiked into the falls, reliving the same steps as we did almost 3 years to the day - when Jordy first brought me here (other then in 1974 when I lived here and don't remember.. lol)
It was an awesome weekend - the same as the one before full of memories - so thank you to our friends for sharing it with us, and thank you to our friends for placing the caches out there!
Cache on & 42!
|From 4 FTF's!

Start Date: Apr 15, 2012
End Date: Apr 14, 2017
This work will be accomplished using a new strategy pioneered by the PDs that enables rapid identification of a single or small number of candidate genes responsible for single locus traits in peach. Briefly, it involves sequencing pooled genomes from segregating populations using next generation sequencing technologies. The resulting data will be mined for polymorphisms, and allele frequencies from individual genome pools will be calculated. Finally, the frequencies are graphed by chromosome position to simultaneously reveal the physical location of the trait and the causative polymorphism. Identified candidate genes will be confirmed via molecular markers designed from the genome sequences and functional tested by transformation into plum.

Durham, N. C. - North Carolina Central University School of Business accreditation was reaffirmed by AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) on April 7th, 2013.
AACSB Accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education, and has been earned by less than five percent of the world's business programs. Today, there are 672 business schools in 50 countries and territories that maintain AACSB Accreditation. Similarly, 178 institutions maintain an additional specialized AACSB Accreditation for their accounting programs.
NCCU School of Business Dean D. Keith Pigues expressed immense gratitude for the contributions of faculty, staff, university administration and the School of Business' Board of Visitors. "This accreditation is the result of a committed effort and collaborative process for the past year and a half," said Pigues during a reception to celebrate the accreditation reaffirmation on Thursday, March 28. "It is proof that the NCCU School of Business is an elite business school."
The School of Business originally received accreditation in 2006. Under the direction of Dean Pigues, the mission, vision and direction of the School of Business has been repositioned to meet the needs of ever-changing industries and student populations.
Included in the strategic repositioning efforts was the introduction of a Dean's Global Series which featured some of industry's leading experts in topics ranging from marketing to public relations to healthcare. Bringing application to the School of Business adage, "Real Learning for the Real World"--workshops, seminars and discussion groups were developed to establish real world opportunities for complete student exposure. A directed approach that focuses on a 50/50 learning model, incorporating state of the art academic preparation and experiential learning was initiated along with a student success model that includes focuses on technology, leadership, globalization, integrated management, and entrepreneurship. The School of Business has also been recognized for its community outreach, which has been extended to high school students through the Summer Youth Business and Entrepreneurship Academy. Participants attend lectures taught by host NCCU professors and local business leaders, attend corporate visits to gain exposure to the application of business principles in the real world and facilitate business plan development and team competitions with participants to derive a business plan for a new idea. Lastly, The Venture Challenge was designed and introduced to School of Business students last year to encourage entrepreneurial and consultative enterprises. Students develop both the plan and implementation of strategic insights for new business ventures from submissions made by their peers.
"It takes a great deal of commitment and determination to earn and maintain AACSB Accreditation," said Robert D. Reid, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. "Business schools must not only meet specific standards of excellence, but their deans, faculty, and professional staff must make a commitment to ongoing continuous improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver the highest quality of education to students."
Dr. Bernice Johnson, associate provost, relayed congratulatory remarks to the entire School of Business staff and faculty, particularly the recently appointed Dean D. Keith Pigues for his leadership and active participation in all phases of the process in accomplishing the goal of AACSB accreditation.

Statement from the School of Business
July 1, 2014
Durham, N.C.
Effective, July 1, 2014, the North Carolina Central University (NCCU) School of Business voluntarily withdrew from membership in the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). This decision was made with the full approval and support of the Interim Dean, Dr. Wanda F. Lester, the business school faculty and staff, the Chancellor, the Provost, and the Director of University Accreditation.
For the past seven years, the NCCU School of Business has maintained two specialized accreditations:
AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
ACBSP – Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs
The recognitions, benefits and opportunities afforded by membership in two specialized accrediting agencies have been numerous and fruitful, however after many discussions and careful consideration of several key factors, it was determined that the long-term interests of the School of Business would be best served by focusing all resources on one specialized accreditation.
North Carolina Central University's long affiliation with ACBSP has provided many beneficial opportunities and resources for our faculty, students, staff and all key stakeholders since 1994. We are extremely grateful for their continued support over the years.
The university, including the School of Business, is also accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), "the regional body for the accreditation of degree-granting higher education institutions in the Southern states."
The School of Business affirms its commitment to student success. The quality of program and services will in no way be affected by the decision to depart from this accrediting body.
The AACSB International accreditation is the seal of excellence for the School of Business and this continued association will guarantee students the ability to remain progressive, competitive and successful.

Curly Hair Application for African American Women! More Coming!
2 thoughts on "Coily"
Good job, and keep it up! Hubby is a programmer/field tech/"THE computer guy", so I know this isn't an easy field. Fun, certainly! Needed, especially now!! So good luck, and love what you do what you love.
I saw your piece on MSNBC-TV @ 7:50am today,Monday, 09/01/2014. I'm a nearly 70-yr-old retired black woman who came up in the MS/DOS era. The grand kids insisted I get at least an apple 4S iPhone, so here I am today, struggling to try to keep current. Can I get your app now with a 4S iPhone & iPad? Your philosophy and product are impressive. I love what you Christian kids are doing. I live on my social security, retirement pension, and some savings. Still, I'd like to donate whatever I can to help you youngsters. I'm so proud of your achievement.
