The initially ill-matched partners at the center of the story are Paris-based American diplomat and low-level CIA agent James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and Charlie Wax (John Travolta), a trigger-happy visiting operative Reese has been instructed to escort and assist.
Despite his aspirations to be a real spy, Reese's previous intelligence work has been confined to activities like changing the license plates on agency autos to prevent their being traced. So at first he looks forward to this latest assignment as a chance to break into the big leagues.
But Wax proves far more of a loose cannon than the buttoned-up Reece had bargained for, and Wax's wild pursuit of drug dealers and terrorists sees the pair cutting a bloody swath through the French capital's criminal underworld.
Bewildered as the bullets—and the bodies—fly, Reese pauses briefly to wash telltale gore off his face and stare glumly into the mirror, wondering about it all. But the next moment he's off again, one step behind Wax on their renewed rampage.
Reese's prolonged absence from home leads to friction with his live-in Gallic girlfriend Caroline (Kasia Smutniak). Her somewhat surprising depth of devotion has been signaled earlier by a scene in which she proposed to Reese, presenting him with a wedding-bandlike ring that, so she explained, had once belonged to her father.
Domestic tranquility suffers a further setback when Caroline, shopping for dress material in a depressed neighborhood she wouldn't normally frequent, spots Reese and Wax getting into an elevator with a streetwalker in tow.
Though Reese ultimately has nothing to do with this shady lady the newly minted pals have picked up in their travels, Wax and she share an encounter in a bathroom raucous enough to be audible both to Reese and to the audience.
While, as directed by Pierre Morel, the dialogue in Adi Hasak's F-word-heavy script is occasionally amusing, this hardly compensates for the fact that the film—based on a story by Luc Besson—glamorizes Wax's utter disregard for the lives of those on either side of the law, unmistakably relishes the mayhem that results and presents that tawdry restroom coupling as just another of Wax's endearing madcap adventures.
The film contains constant, sometimes bloody action violence, off-screen sexual activity with a prostitute, cohabitation, drug use, a couple of profanities and pervasive rough and much crude language. The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is O—morally offensive. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R—restricted.

The Elkins Finance Committee approved the purchase of two new trucks Thursday. One will be a new salt truck for the street department and the second will be used by the water department.
Elkins Operations Manager Bob Pingley said the street department needs to replace the city's aging salt truck before winter sets in. He said the city received three bids for a 2012 Ford F-350 with a dump bed. The first was from Elkins Fordland for $34,021, but it would take eight to 12 weeks to receive the vehicle. The second quote from Stuckey Ford, a dealership in Pennsylvania, came in a bit higher at $34,400.
"Both bids beat the state bid price," Pingley said. "As long as we are under the state bid we are good."
Pingley recommended purchasing the truck from Stuckey Ford even though it is slightly more expensive because the truck is on the lot and does not need to be ordered.
"We are going to need it before long," Pingley said. "It already has the dump bed, we will just have to put the salt machine on it and it is ready to go."
The city will finance the pickup through Davis Trust Co. at 3.05 percent for three years. City Treasurer Lisa Daniels-Smith said the purchase will require a budget adjustment.
The committee approved the measure and the adjustment and the purchase will have to be approved by City Council.
The committee also approved the purchase of an additional truck for the water department. Pingley said the state bid price came in at $21,004 and a bid from Fordland came in at $23,090. He said the money for the purchase is already in the water department budget. The committee approved the purchase using money from the water department's depreciation account.

Greenpeace, Inuit agree re: seismic tests
By Lee-Anne Goodman, The Canadian Press
OTTAWA - Greenpeace and the Inuit have joined to protest Arctic seismic testing, warning Ottawa that its plans to gauge oil and gas reserves with high-intensity sound waves in Baffin Bay and the Davis Strait pose grave dangers to marine life.
Inuit activists are staging a protest Wednesday in Nunavut's Clyde River, a tiny Baffin Island hamlet just above the Arctic Circle, a week after Greenpeace took their cause to the United Nations.
An Inuit environmentalist also took aim at Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq, a Nunavut MP, accusing the Conservative government of "cultural genocide" for its efforts to open up the Arctic to oil and gas exploration.
"We depend on these waters for food and the very existence of Inuit life depend on them," said Niore Iqalukjuak in an open letter to Aglukkaq in the Nunatsiaq News.
"We fear that what the Conservative government is doing is a cultural genocide and will end the Inuit way of life as we know it. ... You are our representative. Speak up on our behalf."
Aglukkaq's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Iqalukjuak's letter or on the protest being held in Clyde River.
Greenpeace, meantime, has thrown its support behind the community.
"Proposed seismic testing activities in Baffin Bay will have severe impacts on marine life and traditional lifestyles of coastal indigenous peoples," the organization's Arctic campaigner, Farah Khan, said in a statement Tuesday.
"We stand with the community of Clyde River in their efforts to uphold their rights and preserve their traditions."
It was an apparent return of fire to Aglukkaq, who criticized Greenpeace this week by challenging the environmental group's historical opposition to the seal hunt and alleging it's merely using the Inuit to advance its own causes.
"The reality is that there are lots of environmental groups who say that they speak for and represent Inuit or aboriginal people, while at the same time they campaign against traditional ways of life like the seal hunt," she told the Inuit Circumpolar Council general assembly in the Northwest Territories.
Greenpeace and the Inuit indeed make strange bedfellows in their campaign against Arctic seismic testing, a contentious method for surveying oil and gas deposits under the ocean floor that can have extensive effects on marine life, including disrupting migration routes.
Greenpeace railed against the commercial seal hunt in the 1980s, and has since acknowledged their campaign had a detrimental impact on the Inuit.
"The consequences of that, though unintended, were far-reaching," Joanna Kerr, executive director of Greenpeace Canada, said in a recent statement.
She added that the Inuit "take only what they need, and no more. They honour the animals, the land and the ocean."
Greenpeace also recently drafted and adopted a policy, written with First Nations, in support of indigenous rights to a subsistence lifestyle.
In Tuesday's statement, the organization chided Aglukkaq for failing to protect her homeland's environment.
"If Minister Aglukkaq acted as a steward for the Arctic environment — as an environment minister and chair of the Arctic Council should — then she would be listening to the concerns of northerners and acting on them."
The National Energy Board recently announced it would undertake seismic testing in Baffin Bay and the Davis Strait despite protests from the mayor of Clyde River and other Inuit officials and elders. The testing will begin in the 2015 ice-free season.
According to the environmental group Oceans North Canada, Baffin Bay and the Davis Strait are home to an estimated 50,000 narwhals — most of the world's population. The area is also home to bowhead whales, 116 species of fish and an estimated million seabirds.
Iqalukjuak made reference to the unexpected alliance between Greenpeace and the Inuit in his letter.
"Of all organizations or parties, Greenpeace has stepped up to help fund the court battle (against seismic testing). How embarrassing is that, eh? The very people that helped to destroy our seal industry here helping Inuit on a cause that they both believe," he wrote.

Raymond Loo of Springfield, Prince Edward Island is one of three recipients of the 2011 Canadian Nuffield Farming Scholarship Trust.
Since 1996, his Springwillow Farms has been a certified organic farm growing fruit, garden vegetables, grains, forages and livestock.
In 2005, the sixth generation farmer set out to market organically produced Island products in Japan. Currently the resulting operation, Annespei Farm, markets products from 24 PEI farmers. Crops exported include black currants, non GMO and organic canola seed and oil, organic soy beans, organic buckwheat, organic rhubarb and other fruit. Visitors to Loo's farm are often surprised to see fields of dandelions – the roots of which are used by the Japanese in the production of a specific coffee.
Loo has been working very hard to develop the organic industry on PEI. He feels strongly that the Island could one day be fully organic and become a world-renowned producer of high quality products. He is the past-president of the Certified Organic Producers COOP, a founding director of the Atlantic Canada Organic Regional Network, a board member of the PEI Agrifood Alliance and Vice Chair of the PEI ADAPT Council.
With his Nuffield Scholarship, Loo hopes further develop his value chain as well as share his experience and learn from other farmers involved in similar initiatives.
The other recipients were Leona Dargis from Alberta and Kelvin Meadows from Saskatchewan.
Nuffield Canada President Barry Cudmore is pleased with the research planned by all three scholars. "Leona, Kelvin and Raymond are looking at important issues in relation to the need for competitive and long-term human resources practices, the deciphering of the regulations associated with food exports and the development of value chain initiatives. We look forward to the innovative ideas they bring forth as a result of their international travels."
Nuffield Farming Scholarships are awarded to enthusiastic individuals, between the ages of 25 and 45, wishing to explore topics of their choice in agriculture, land management, horticulture or the food chain. They provide individuals with the unique opportunity to:
· develop a global perspective on food and agriculture
· achieve personal development through study and travel
· stand back from their day-to-day occupation and study a topic of real interest to them
· access the world's best in food and farming
· deliver benefits to Canadian farmers and growers, and to the industry as a whole
The scholarships also help these leaders to expand their knowledge and network with top individuals around the world, to promote advancement and leadership in agriculture. A key part of the scholarship is the opportunity for the recipients to study a topic of great personal interest to themselves by carrying out an extensive research and global study tour.
Applications for the 2012 Scholarship are due April 30, 2011. For more information on Nuffield Canada including application forms, visit www.nuffield.ca.

Hmm.. I don't really have any revenge stories.. I don't really go for revenge. The only revenge story I have happened a couple hours ago. My sisters boyfriend was sitting next to me on the couch and I got up to go to the bathroom and he stuck his foot out to trip me, and I stumbled, but I didn't fall. Later he was coming down the stairs, and when he was walking for the door I stuck my leg out and tried to trip him... but he only stumbled too

Charlie's Christmas Stocking
by Cat Bordhi
Download the pattern (in PDF format)
My grandson Charlie needed his first Christmas stocking this year. Being an utterly in-love grandma, I wanted to design something extra special for my little guy.
Children love pockets, so I inserted two pouches in the arch expansion area, one to hold carrots for Rudolph and the other a gingerbread cookie for Santa.
My first try had three pouches and was bigger than Charlie!
Here is Charlie with his final felted stocking and an unfelted one for comparison.
The Miracle of Felt
Felting makes the stocking sturdy and blurs all stitch details—any minor mistakes vanish! And the stocking knits up rapidly on one 24 (60 cm) circular needle, except for the toe and the inner pouches, which require dpns, a second circ, or one long circ.
I describe a secret of arch expansion in my book, New Pathways for Sock Knitters, Book One: Arch increases may be organized in any way one likes. This knowledge assured me the pouches could function as a shaping (increasing) device.
The Miracle of Disproportionate Waste Yarn Openings
Look at the photo. See how the pouches actually widen the leg over the arch, stairstepping their way forward? The lower edge of each pouch is twice the length of its upper edge.
This is achieved through a technique I call disproportionate waste yarn openings. A cousin of standard waste yarn openings (which produce openings with equal numbers of stitches top and bottom), my disproportionate waste yarn opening technique lets you make one edge longer than the other.
Ive made two Youtube videos demonstrating the process. Youll find them here and here.
I hope the readers of Knitters Review will find this intriguing technique useful in their own knitting explorations. In a recent workshop I was delighted when I shared the idea and one participant began to spout design concepts like a fountain!

Mixed picture on MDG attainment
This year's report card on where the world, the regions, and the developing countries are with regard to attaining the various Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), shows quite a diverse picture. As the Global Monitoring Report 2013 points out, progress toward the MDGs has not been universal and there are many poor countries that are still very far away from the targets where we want them to be by 2015.
If we take a look at progress towards attainment of the MDGs, we can conclude that four out of 21 targets have been met by 2010, well ahead of the 2015 deadline. Note that even though there are 8 Goals, there are 21 targets and about 56 indicators through which the world tries to monitor their progress.

Story Behind San Joaquin Kit Fox photo
I was pleased to receive so many requests for the story behind this photo I posted yesterday. The San Joaquin Kit Fox (SJKF) is an endangered critter that has lost about 92% of its historic range. The city of Bakersfield is ground zero for the "urban" population of the SJKF where while it seems backwards, the SJKF is "thriving." The biologists I'm so fortunate to work with have worked with both the wild and urban population for decades and this past week, I was with Torey who is working on her masters looking at an natal dening dynamics. She monitors a number of natal dens (natal means there are pups) at night right after sunset when the height of activity with pups tends to be. That's why I was there, this being my second year to work with Torey and her project. Those who came to my Wildlife Photography class at Photoshop World saw video from last year's field work.
This den site is on the Cal State Bakersfield campus where I've been photographing kit fox since 1988. The urban kit fox specializes in eating human food, trash, and they are very good at it. In fact, a project a few years ago looking at isotopes found no difference in diet from kit fox and humans. The story behind this den is it is very special, being the natal den for two different age class of pups, pups from two different moms. It was important to me to document this and along with the data Torey is collecting, can be used to help the foxes in the future.
I shot last season with the D3s which did an OK job. It's 720p video was OK though it did not do a great job with the WB of the funky night lights. When it comes to AF, that didn't work at all for me at night so that was a challenge since we are working in the dark. The D4 on the other hand did an amazing job IMHO! I knew from past experience that is my shutter speed were to get below 1/100, I would not have sharp stills of the pups. They are simply balls of activity! I had used the Auto ISO in the video mode but hadn't tested nor trusted the Auto ISO for stills. Now I'm not a "raise the ISO" kinda of shooter, I've always worked at either ISO 100 or 200. But I needed to get the photos and this was the tool available to me. So when the female first appeared and was running over to the den, the light was already nearly gone and I set the ISO to 800 to maintain the 1/100 speed. Within a matter of moments the light dipped more so I raised the ISO to 1600. I'm shooting wide open not only because of the low light but to minimize the DOF, the brown line in the foreground is one of the den entrances.
I'm sitting out in the open in my kit fox chair, the same chair I've been using since '88 for just photographing kit fox. On my Gitzo 5561 is the 600VR w/TC-17e attached to the D4. When the vixen came to the den, it was killer to just lay down the hammer and rip the files, tracking her the entire route coming across the lawn. Having basically an endless buffer just simply rocks! That's one aspect of the D4 I thoroughly can't live without already. Once she checks all the den entrances, the signal is given and the pups emerge. She nurses for a heartbeat and then starts pacing, looking for the male's arrival. During this time the light fades to night and all the pups, five of them, emerge to play and wait for the male and dinner. Once the sun is gone, I switch to video mode, shooting 1080p30.The TC-17e is removed at this point. I'm manually focusing using the LCD to do so for most of the action. When I can, I do put the AF sensor on still fox and hit the AF-ON button which, even working in total darkness, locks right on. The D4 is now in Auto ISO since it's shooting video and is up to 12800. 12800! The first time I saw that number on the LCD I says to myself, "can this even be useable, I have nothing to loose!" But once I looked at the resulting video, I was blown away. And that's the simple story behind the photo.

Helping ADHD Children Organize Their Thoughts
"My 10-year-old daughter expresses her thoughts in a jumbled fashion when she puts them on paper. What would help her organize her ideas?"
It is common for children with ADHD to have trouble with written expression. To help with the planning/organizing of the writing process, have your daughter try the following strategies:
1. Organize her ideas graphically. She can try software, such as Kidspiration or Inspiration (inspiration.com), to make a "mind-map" of ideas before writing.
2. Write ideas on index cards or Post-it notes. She can spread out, group, and sequence her ideas before writing them down.
3. Speak her ideas into a tape recorder. As she listens to the recording, she can decide what needs to be added, clarified, or sequenced differently before trying to do so on paper.
4. Use a pre-writing checklist of questions. For example, "Have I brainstormed and written down a number of possible topics?" "Have I listed several words, ideas, or phrases related to my topic?" "What details and examples might I use to support my ideas?"
Sandra Rief, M.A., is an educational consultant, speaker, and author of a number of books for parents and teachers on how to help students with ADHD succeed in school. Some of her books include How to Reach & Teach Children with ADD/ADHD, The ADD/ADHD Checklist, and The ADHD Book of Lists. She has trained thousands of educators through her workshops/seminars nationally and internationally on effective strategies and interventions for students with learning, attention, and behavioral challenges. A former award-winning special education teacher, from San Diego, California, Sandra is an instructor of continuing education online/distance learning courses for teachers on ADHD and Learning Disabilities through California State University, East Bayand Seattle Pacific University.

The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet is a science fiction/fantasy children's novel written by Eleanor Cameron in 1954. It is set Pacific Grove, California, as well as on a tiny, habitable moon, "Basidium," in an invisible orbit 50,000 miles from Earth. The "Mushroom Planet," visited by the protagonists David Topman and Chuck Masterson, is covered in various types of mushrooms and is populated by little green people who are in a state of distress.
Plot summary[edit]
When two boys find an ad in a newspaper asking for two young boys to build a spaceship, they quickly construct one out of old tin and scrap wood, and bring it to the advertiser. This man is the mysterious Mr. Tyco Bass, an inventor and scientist. Using his marvelous stroboscopic polarizing filter he shows the boys a previously undetected satellite of the Earth, which he calls Basidium-X. He refits their spaceship, giving them some special fuel he invented to power it, and tells them to fly to the mushroom planet (after getting their parents' permission). He warns them that their trip will only be successful if they bring a mascot.
When it is time for launch, they grab David's hen, Mrs. Pennyfeather, at the last moment for a mascot, and rocket into space. They find Basidium-X to be a small, verdant world covered in soft moss and tree-size mushrooms. They quickly meet some residents of the mushroom planet, small men with large heads and slightly green skin, of the same people as the mysterious Mr. Bass. They tell the boys that their planet has had a crisis and that everyone is slowly dying of a mysterious sickness. The boys meet up with the king of the planet, the Great Ta, and end up solving the natives' problem, before returning to Earth.

Aquaculture America Book of Abstracts. Pg. 285. Technical Abstract: Improved growth and feed efficiency are key traits for genetic improvement. Recent studies at our center with individually housed rainbow trout have shown genetic variation for feed efficiency. From studies done on other animals and in fish it has been suggested that fast, efficiently growing animals have reduced protein degradation rather than increased protein synthesis relative to slow, inefficiently growing animals. For fish, ammonia generated through protein degradation can be quickly excreted through the gills, unlike other animals that cannot excrete ammonia quickly enough and must convert ammonia to a less toxic form before secretion. We reasoned that more efficient rainbow trout would degrade less protein, and therefore excrete less ammonia relative to their less efficient couterparts and designed a series of experiments to test this hypothesis. We compared ammonia excretion in a 3 week study between fed, unfed and unfed (2 weeks)/refed (1 week) groups. Water was sampled from fish tanks 20h after a meal and ammonia measured using ion chromatography. Significant differences in ammonia excretion were detected. The proteolytic pathways of calpains, cathepsins, proteosome and apoptosis were examined in tissues of these fishes at the end of the experiment. Calpastatin mRNA abundance was reduced and calpain activity increased in liver of unfed fish. Cathepsins did not respond consistently. Refeeding stimulated mRNA abundance and enzyme activity in the proteosome pathway. The mRNA abundance of apoptotic proteases caspace -3 and -9 increased in refed animals, too. The increase in proteosome and caspace activity may account for the increase in ammonia production of refed versus unfed fish. The higher rate of ammonia production in fed fish may be due to greater levels of substrate rather than greater enzyme abundance or activity.

Has anyone tried connecting the PS3mediaserver to the xbmc? (on xbox 1)
In xbmc, i select the option to find a UPnP server, xbmc find the PS3Mediaserver, and even detects all the directories with videos. (i share /Movies/ folder)
But when i add the new UPnP server, is empty. No /Movie folder.
I found someone the same problem in this forum , and "fabrice.boulant" found a solution, but i really can understand how to solve...
Comment 2 by ls...@yahoo.com, Jan 31, 2009
I'm using PMS 1.03.
Yes, XBMC can see the server, but cannot attach to the media.
Comment 3 by fabrice.boulant, Feb 28, 2009
Hi all, I think i found why we do not see any media in the server. It seem's that the
problem is that in the xml element container in DIDL-Lite section, the attribute for
the parent id must be parentID and not parentId (DLNAResource.java). After i change
that, i was able to play an avi via XBMC !!
Please, if someone can helpme, i really want to transcode videos from my new powerfull Mac, to the xbmc running on the slow for HD xbox 1... !!

History of the School
St. Matthew the Evangelist Catholic School opened in September 1990. It originally had 15 classrooms, a large library, a double-size gym with a large utility stage, and a very large front foyer, which can be partitioned off to create a multi-use room. St. Matthew School is a beautiful building, with skylights and indoor gardens in the front entrance way and hallways. A YMCA daycare was also incorporated into the building, and still is run at St. Matthew today.
The population of St. Matthew grew steadily between 1991 and 1996, to the point that spaces in the building such as the stage and the front foyer were used for classrooms. Portables were moved on-site for use as well.
Through the Years
Here are some highlights of our school story.
1994 – 1995 School production of The Wizard of Oz.
1996 – 1997 By this time, the population of St. Matthew's had grown so much that there were 10 classroom portables behind the school.
Spring 1997 Construction of a 10-room addition was begun. The addition was built around the outside of the gym, which jutted out the back of the building. The inside wall of the addition is the original outside brick of the gym.
Dec. 1997 – Jan. 1998 The addition was completed and classroom furniture and materials were moved in from the portables before the Christmas holidays. Classes began in the new addition in January.
April 2000 St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic School was officially established; its office was housed in St. Matthew the Evangelist Catholic School.
Sept. – Dec. 2000 St. Luke's opened with registered students, but because the building was not complete, students were housed at St. Matthew. There were classes everywhere, including in the gym, library, change rooms, on the stage and in the front foyer. We had two different schedules, so that our recesses and lunch hour did not overlap. Of course, all phys. ed was done outside. We had mixed emotions when the students and staff of St. Luke moved to their own building. Many of them had been St. Matthew students and staff, and we were sad to see them go, but at the same time we were relieved to be less crowded.
2001 – 2002 School production of Ezekiel Saw the… What?
Reaching out to the community
From the beginning, St. Matthew the Evangelist Catholic School has been an important part of the larger community, both at the local level and internationally. In many ways, it has reached out to help those in the area who are in need. This is most apparent at Christmastime. Since 2004, the school has been creating Christmas baskets for families in need. This initiative originally started as a Kindergarten class project and has grown to include the whole school. A number of families are helped, with each class responsible for supplying gifts and clothes for one family member or donating money for a food voucher. The families of the school are very generous and have put smiles on the faces of many other families.
St. Matthew also supports ShareLife. Twice a year, the school holds a dance for students with a $1 admission charge. The students find the dances to be a fun way to fundraise and the money goes to a good cause. Of course, ShareLife is not the only charity the school raises funds for. We also fundraise for the Terry Fox Fund and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Camp Oochigeas
In 2009, the school participated in a huge fundraising project for Camp Oochigeas, a camp for children with cancer. On June 9, the school held an assembly. To help raise money, a handful of children had their long hair cut short; the hair was donated to make wigs for people who had lost their hair because of chemotherapy treatments. In addition, the school's principal at the time, Mr. Cauley, had his head shaved bald. The children erupted into loud laughter as the nearly bald principal kissed what was left of his hair goodbye. In all, the school raised $6,500. Not only did the school raise money, but it also raised awareness in the students of the tragedy of childhood cancer.
St. Matthew and the International Community
St. Matthew has also shown an interest in and concern for people across the world. In 2007, the school's parish church, Holy Family, decided to support a village in Malawi. The church had an ambitious plan to build a medical centre in a small village. Not only was a building needed, but a source of fresh water as well. It appealed to the parish community to help. St. Matthew the Evangelist was one of a number of schools that took up this enormous challenge. The school raised over $10,000 – enough money to build a water tower and buy supplies for the medical clinic!
In April 2012, St. Matthew the Evangelist Catholic School participated in Soap for Hope, which is run by the Canadian Food for Children charity. The students of Father Leo J. Austin Catholic High School became interested in the project and asked other schools in the Board to join in. Over 5,000 bars of soap were collected to send to developing countries.
Environmental Responsibilities: Stewardship of Creation
The school recognizes that being part of a community can encompass many responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is an awareness of how the school's actions can impact the environment. The school launched a campaign to raise awareness in the students and to ensure that the school is environmentally aware. An environmental committee was formed and given the task of reducing garbage and making the school an EcoSchool. Currently the school is rated as a Silver EcoSchool and is quite certain that this year we will be Gold. In 2011–2012, the school won a recycling challenge, including $1000 to put towards making the school even more environmentally friendly.
Our Patron Saint
St. Matthew the Evangelist was one of the 12 Apostles Jesus chose. He followed Jesus and was one of the witnesses of the Resurrection and the Ascension. For 15 years, Matthew preached the Gospel in Hebrew to the Jewish community in Judea. Later in his ministry, he would travel to other nations and spread the Gospel. Matthew died as a martyr.

By making someone happy
Didn't you know
Share yourself
With someone else
The joy is in the giving
Now you know
1. The young girl in the schoolyard
Didn't you know
She is playing all alone
Didn't you know
She has moved here not long ago
She wants to find a friend
Didn't you know
2. The little boy
Watching foot hockey
Didn't you know
He dreams of playing with you
Didn't you know
So many times
He's heard you say no
He wants to be your friend
Didn't you know
St. Matthew
Song written by St. Matthew Alumni
Jesus saw Matthew
Working in the customs house
He said come follow me
Jesus is calling you, Jesus is calling me
He says come follow me
He says come follow me
1. Matthew was a publican
Collecting money
From all the people in the land
He'd count all that money
The taxes he'd collected
Then got it to the emperor's hands
2. Matthew listened to Jesus
He rose up and followed him
He left his business behind
He left it gladly to follow Jesus
No better treasure he could find
3. Matthew the evangelist
Preached the gospel
To all the people in the land
Jesus is calling us
Our whole school family
To give him a helping hand

When we have our babies, it is natural to transform into "mama bear", stopping at nothing to defend and protect. For the mama who has a child facing additional challenges, this instinct goes into overdrive. Having a child with autism has made me respond to certain comments irrationally. I can be oversensitive – even when comments are said in kindness or without any intention of harm.

WR Marquez North of Charlotte was going to take an official visit to Ohio State this weekend but the Buckeyes have come off his list, so he will make his first visit to Clemson this season for the Tigers' showdown with USC. North is down to Clemson, Tennessee and North Carolina according to his father. He's looking at making his official visit to Clemson January 12th for the Tigers' major weekend. "Clemson and North Carolina write him everyday," Ramando North said. "And he gets calls from all three. He likes the Clemson offense and they said they can move him around to showcase his talents. The offense is a little bit like his offense at Mallard Creek." North also has been to games this season at North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Tennessee and Duke. He plans to announce a decision at the Army All American Game. North had labrum surgery about a month and a half ago and missed about half of his senior season.Tweet

Editorial Overview
It's Christmastime in LA, and there's an employee party in progress on the 30th floor of the Nakatomi Corporation Building. The revelry comes to a violent end when the partygoers are taken hostage by a group of Teutonic terrorists headed by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), who plan to steal the $600 million locked in Nakatomi's high-tech safe. In truth, Gruber and his henchmen are only pretending to be politically motivated to throw the authorities off track; also in truth, Gruber has no intention of allowing anyone to get out of the building alive. Meanwhile, New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) has come to LA to visit his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), who happens to be one of the hostages. Disregarding the orders of the authorities surrounding the building, McClane, who fears nothing (except heights), takes on the villains, armed with one handgun and plenty of chutzpah. Until Die Hard came along, Bruce Willis was merely that wisecracking guy on Moonlighting. After the film's profits started rolling in, Willis found himself one of the highest-paid and most sought-after leading men in Hollywood, and his cool wise-guy persona set the tone for the new style of ultra-violent yet ultra-ironic action movie, continued in the sequels Die Hard 2 (1990) and Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995), as well as in countless imitations. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Recap: 'Fringe' - 'Os'
Season 3 of "Fringe" has featured many things: ups, downs, twists, turns, frustrations, and revelations. What it's managed to avoid up until this point is a "placeholder." But unfortunately, that's what "Os" was, an episode that set the groundwork for events to come but featured very little in the way of major narrative progression. Maybe if the episode had been called "Ring My Bell," we'd have a disco-infused title that got to the heart of what this episode was truly building towards. Instead, what transpired was a perfectly acceptable hour of television with a slam-bang cliffhanger meant to disguise the fact that almost nothing happened.
[Full recap of Friday's (March 11) "Fringe" after the break...]
Now, does every hour need to move the story forward to succeed? Of course not. What transpired was a Season 1-esque mystery that eventually tied into the uber-plot of the season, but mainly focused on establishing the emotional places of its main characters in anticipation of the final push this season. (And I say season, not series, out of optimism borne of eyes wide open at the current television landscape and with eyes wide shut, resisting the idea that we're in the final leg of this fantastic show.) There are times and places for episodes designed to catch the show's breath, but I just figured "Subject 13" did the heavy lifting in this regard.
After all, nothing truly progressed in that hour other than our increased understanding of the events that led to present day events. But it nevertheless recontextualized the modern day in a way that deepened our understanding of certain motivations. "Os" simply reaffirmed what we learned in "6B": Olivia/Peter are now a couple, and Walter wants to contact William Bell via soul magnets in order to solve the impending multiverse crisis. Insomuch as the actions of Alan Ruck's aeronautics engineer gave both Walter and Peter insights into their lingering issues, the case of the week connected with the show's overall story. But given how much more effectively the show's connected the dots in the past, this week's outing felt a bit weak.
If anything, this week's mystery seemed to be trying to do something I wasn't sure the show would try to do anymore: connect its singular freak-of-the-week plots with the overall effects of Walter rescuing Peter. Even if this week never uttered the phrase, "The Pattern," "Os" gives a hint as to what the show could have done from the outset: explain the unexplainable through the prism that the very rules of nature are fluid in light of the contact between the two universes. That has absolutely nothing to do with the science in the early Pattern episodes, but I can see plenty of people either retconning all those episodes in their mind or just rolling tonight's episode into the long-unmentioned but potentially still prevalent Pattern.
If you want to do so, great. I won't, but that doesn't mean one side is wrong. That type of analysis boils down to semantics, and a certain perspective through which to watch the show that looks at the trees, not the forest. There's a part of me that hears the phrase "soul magnets" and wants to throw up more than watching Cameron Frye pick at the bone marrow of an autopsied body. But "Fringe" nails, as it so often does, the emotional core behind the silly sci-fi concept. To me, the ludicrous nature of a "soul magnet" is mitigated by Walter's desire to reconnect with an old friend in order to solve a problem of not simply science but confidence. If the power of love (Huey Lewis or not) can potentially power a doomsday device, then you either get fully on board the show's emotional train or just get off entirely.
Plus, this storyline yielded a cliffhanger that could produce one of the more bizarre hours ever seen: Anna Torv channeling Leonard Nimoy. I know the showrunners like to claim they've known about large chunks of the story since Season 1, but I really want to ask them if they had prospective actresses for the role of Olivia Dunham read sides from old "Star Trek" episodes. Even if we only spend one hour with Dunham-as-Bell (can we call her/him Oliviam?), I'm ready to both rock AND roll with that, thankee kindly. We've seen how well Torv can do when asked to do more than she did at the outset of the show. Her wicked sense of humor as Fauxlivia was a total shock, and I can't wait to see her let loose next week.
But the excitement of future events doesn't change the fact that this week's episode left me a little cold. Well, not cold, just…bored. And that's a strange feeling for "Fringe" to produce. Even when I felt it was getting too on-the-nose with the "which Olivia Peter chooses will determine which universe survives" business, I was still engaged with the episode, even if I vehemently resisted parts of it. That any episode with Alan Ruck and Jorge Garcia (stoner-rific in the episode's early moments) could be so bland seems like a pop culture crime. Ruck in some ways paralleled Lance Reddick this week: both are actors that can do so much more than "Fringe" asks them to do that it's a wonder that either actor is necessary. Granted, I'm all for steady work for both men, but take a look at Ruck's performance in last season's "Justified" for an example of how to fully exploit the man's talents.
A few bullets about tonight's episode:
*** "Baconberry cupcake frosting" made me inner six year old drool something fierce.
*** "What could he say? It was the 70's!" You heard it here first: Walter was the walrus. Goo goo, g'joob. (And before you comment: yes, I know that song was written in the 1960s. It's just a joke.)
*** The way in which the episode used the camera to trick the audience into misunderstanding how the initial heist worked was pretty great. "Fringe" has learned how to use the camera in deceptive ways, and while a little of this goes a lot way, so far they haven't gone Tarantino on us just yet.
*** Loved every time that Nina did a mental fist pump at realizing Peter's romantic choice could be saving her life. Let's just hope she doesn't start sending tons of candles and Portishead records over to their place.
*** Anyone else look for Jason Street during the wheelchair game?
*** Walter accidentally reenacting those crazy YouTube videos featuring mints in soda bottles had me thinking that a "Fringe"-related Mentos commercial might make me the happiest boy in the world. Just imagine Walter popping through an intergenerational portal, looking back a Walter, and popping a huge smile with Mentos in one hand and a very sick Peter in the other.
All in all, there was little to loathe, but little to love. The end promises great things to come, but I think history will look at "Os" as the bland meat between two meaty pieces of episodic bread. (Can you tell why I don't cover "Top Chef" for HitFix?) Or, I'll eat crow and realize that this episode laid the groundwork for some truly great stuff down the road. It's not like that's never happened before.
What did you think of "Os"? A great follow-up to last episode's flashback, or a pale comparison? Are they characters getting lost in all this talk of soul magnets and doomsday devices? And will Oliviam be a stroke of genius or the show jumping the multidimensional shark? Sound off below!

2-year-old drowns in backyard pool in Plano
Plano Police are investigating after a 2-year-old drowned Saturday night in a backyard swimming pool.
Plano Fire-Rescue crews were called to a home on the west side of Plano at 7:15 p.m. The caller said the toddler had been found facedown in the pool. Family members were performing CPR when crews arrived. They took over care and transported the toddler to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Plano, where the child died just before 8 p.m.
Further details about the incident were not being released.
Drowning is the fifth leading cause of unintentional death in the United States, reports the Plano Fire-Rescue Department. The largest number of deaths are among children ages 1 to 4.
To improve safety, Plano offers Water Watcher Tags, which are tangible reminders to adults who are responsible for supervising children in or near the water. While wearing the Water Watcher Tag, the adult does not take their eyes off the pool and does not leave the area until handing off the tag and the job to someone else. Tags may be requested by contacting Capt. Peggy Harrell at email@example.com or calling 972-941-7421.

Cold Mountain is a good movie, based on a good book by Charles Frazier. I think most reviewers missed the most important thing about the movie – it is movingly anti-war at a time when the Bush administration has the country bogged down in brutal occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's not difficult to recognize a new temperature control unit from Caron Products & Services, Inc.-just look for the bright green door handles.
"We've been working on incorporating green technology in our newer equipment, so we're making the handles green," said Caron Chairman Steve Keiser.
"These units consume less energy and have water recirculation systems that re-use water instead of running it down the drain," he explained. "Energy conservation also results in lower operating temperatures so the equipment doesn't generate a lot of heat."
Founded in 1985, Caron is headquartered off Ohio 7 in Reno, where 25 employees produce a variety of temperature-controlled test chambers, incubators and related lab research units.
Keiser said the company's products are sold internationally and used in a wide variety of applications, including insect, plant and other biological research, as well as for pharmaceutical testing and storage.
"We serve very few local companies-our business is mostly international," he said. "It's been going very well lately, and it may seem strange, but we benefit when things are going bad."

Caron lab products include:
Environmental test chambers
Photostability chambers
Refrigerated and diurnal incubators
Stackable benchtop CO2 incubators
Reach-in CO2 incubators
Insect growth chambers
Fingerprint development chambers
Bath/circulators for precise lab device temperature control

For example, Keiser noted that last year's H1N1 flu epidemics brought business from pharmaceutical companies who ramped up vaccine production and needed test and storage chambers.
"For research, our environmental chambers cycle temperatures, and can produce cold, warm or moist environments in laboratories," he added.
Caron has also recently expanded its product line to include fingerprint development chambers and secure rapid access firearms storage for law enforcement and home security.
"The firearms units are called R.A.D. (for) Rapid Access Defense cabinets, and we proudly advertise that they're made right here in Marietta, Ohio," Keiser said.
The fingerprinting units can produce otherwise undetectable prints from a sheet of paper in less than a minute.
"The chambers are used to develop latent fingerprints, and we market them to agencies like Homeland Security, the FBI and even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police," Keiser said. "But companies like Walmart and K-Mart also use them."
He said law enforcement agencies are facing a backlog of fingerprint processing which results in continuous government contracts for Caron.
"That goes on regardless of the state of the economy," Keiser said. "I've never seen two bad years of sales in a row in this business."
The Reno location is a good one for Caron, Keiser said.
"There are a lot of people in the Mid-Ohio Valley who have worked in labs and know lab equipment, so we have employees who came to us with years of experience with that kind of equipment," he said.
Keiser said the company is already outgrowing its present facilities, so plans are in the works for a building expansion at the Reno location.

Post subject: Nervous about operation
hi ladies
just hoping for some reassurance I think from anyone else who's baby has had an op. Isaac is booked in for his cleft palate repair in 13 day's time, and although in my head I know it is a fairly routine op, and will all be fine - in my heart I just want to cry every time I think about him having to have a general anasthaetic.
I'm also really worried about the nil by mouth thing - when he wakes in the hospital on the morning of the op and I can't give him any milk (his op is at 9 and he normally wakes between 7 and 8.) its going to be horrible knowing he's hungry and upset
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:20 pm
Post subject:
He is but you wouldnt believe how tough and resilient they are even at that age and at the end of the day its the best thing for him and what he needs. Just think how much things have progressed over the years, years ago there was no 'cure' for want of a better word for a cleft pallette, now ur lil boy will have a perfectly normal life. Do try not to worry coz u dont want him picking up on it either! The very best of luck to all the family and i will be thinking of ye.Everything will be just fine xxx

Quality, exceptional service, variety, reliability and cost efficiency have gone into crafting UPS's products and services for more than a century. It's a standard that's been set by our founder, Jim Casey.
As the needs of customers have changed, so has UPS. With an unmatched portfolio to get you those new hot pink stilettos, shiny golf clubs, latest gadget, prescription medicine or grandma's cookies, UPS is committed to getting your package where it needs to be on time and with a smile.
Recently, UPS was rewarded an Image Award by the German publication VerkehrsRundshau magazine for placing first in the "Courier, Express and Parcel Services" category of its Image-Ranking survey. This is an opinion poll to gauge the image and awareness levels of the leading companies offering commercial vehicles and products and services for commercial vehicle fleets.
Frank Sportolari, district manager of UPS Germany, accepted the glass trophy from Birgit Baurer, editor-in-chief of VerkehrsRundschau, and Dr. Peter Ramsauer, federal minister of transport, building and urban development, during a gala event inMunich.
"Thanks to the consistent further development of our technology and services portfolio, we are able to support customers in realizing their financial goals and helping them to become more competitive," Sportolari said.
Of the logistics decision-makers in industrial and commercial enterprises, 98.5 percent confirmed that the reputation of a service provider plays an essential role.
In 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2008* UPS emerged victorious in the image rankings in the logistics provider category. The 2012 image ranking is the first since 2008 to have taken a look closer at the categories Courier, Express and Parcel Services.

Ankylosing means fusing together. Spondylitis indicates inflammation of the vertebrae. Anklylosing Spondylitis describes a condition when some or all of the joints and bones of the spine fuse together. Classified as a rheumatic disease, ankylosing spondylitis mainly affects the spine but it can also affect other joints, tendons and ligaments in the body. It can also spread to the lungs, bowels and heart.
Usually, inflammation occurs at the site where certain ligaments or tendons attach to bone (enthesis). Some erosion of bone at the site of the attachment (enthesopathy) follows this. As the inflammation subsides, a healing process takes place and new bone develops. Movement becomes restricted where bone replaces the elastic tissue of ligaments or tendons. Repetition of this inflammatory process leads to further bone formation causing backbones and vertebrae to fuse together. This immobile condition often leads to nerve damage and back pain.
