Major League Baseball announced Friday that it will honor the victims of the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., at its season-opening games at each ballpark this season.
Also, Robbie Parker, the father of 6-year-old Emilie Parker who was killed on Dec. 14, 2012, will throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Texas Rangers' home opener April 5 against the Los Angeles Angels. Parker grew up in North Texas and is a Rangers fan, and he used to take his daughter to games.
The Rangers are one of 30 teams that will honor the 20 children and six adults who were killed. Every player, manager, coach, umpire and on-field personnel will wear a symbolic ribbon patch through April 2. The patch features the official seal of Newtown, along with a black memorial ribbon and 26 stars. There will also be a moment of silence at each ballpark.
MORE: MLB to sue South Florida clinic
"The unimaginable tragedy that befell Newtown, Conn.,'' MLB Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement, "will never be forgotten. Major League Baseball, all 30 clubs and baseball fans around the country and Canada offer our deepest sympathies and our unbridled support as the community continues to heal from this heartbreaking day.''
The clubs will also auction jerseys signed by its players and coaches with proceeds going to the Sandy Hook School Support fund, providing services to the families and Newtown community.

Providing Legal Services for Low-Income Persons residing in Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties
MSU College of Law. Established in 1891, making it the oldest continuously operating independent law school in the nation, the Law College is a privately controlled, nonprofit, co-educational institution devoted exclusively to professional education in law. The Law College was fully accredited by the American Bar Association in 1941 and has been a member of the American Association of Law Schools since 1946. In August 1995, the Law College (a private law school) affiliated with Michigan State University (a public university) for the benefit of both institutions. As part of this arrangement, the College relocated to the East Lansing campus of MSU. The Law College's curriculum focuses as much on practical application of the law as on academic mastery. With emphasis on service orientation and public interest, MSU College of Law has strong working relationships among academic disciplines at MSU, government agencies, other community-service organizations, and local Bar members.
Clients in our service area—Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties—may telephone or visit our offices, Monday through Friday during general business hours. We are centrally located in downtown East Lansing at 610 Abbot Road. This makes it easy for clients to find us by car, on foot, or by bus. No appointment is necessary. Our offices are handicap-accessible. The Clinics' legal advocacy program is limited to low-income persons; educational information is made available regardless of income. We charge a nominal fee for our services.

LISBON - Lisbon high school students participating in a program that allows them to earn college credits by taking college classes say it does more than save money.
The four students attending this week's school board meeting to talk about the program said they also enjoyed the intellectual challenge of taking classes at the Salem or East Liverpool campuses of Kent State University under KSU's Seniors to Sophomores program.
Senior Katy Crismon, who has been attending college classes since last year, said she enjoyed the challenge, adding the experience will have left her more prepared for college after she graduates from high school.
This sentiment was echoed by classmate Pam Pierce, who said during her time in the program she has written term papers 10 to 13 pages in length, something she has never done in high school. She also likes it that in college you are surrounded by students who are there because they want to learn, which is not always the case in high school.
Junior Ana Sanor said she liked the responsibility and freedom and confidence boost that comes with taking college classes, while Calen Otto found the classes more interesting, although she has been a bit overwhelmed by how much more reading is required.
Participants earn college credits, and junior/high school Principal Joe Siefke pointed out that Crismon will have earned 42 credits by the time she graduates from Lisbon, which is equivalent to more than one year of college.
Under the program, KSU offers reduced tuition costs, which are picked up by the participating school district. Siefke noted the cost of attending KSU as a full-time student staying on campus is about $20,000 a year.
"Again, you can do the math and see what they're saving their parents," Siefke said.
In other action at this week's meeting, the board:
- Renewed membership in the Ohio School Board Association for 2013 at a cost of $3,920.
- Contracted with Schoolpoint/Index Blue for web hosting services for three years, at an annual cost of $5,203. The district is reimbursed up to 80 percent under E-Rate, a federal program that provides schools affordable access to the Internet and related services.
- Contracted with the Ohio Mid-Eastern Regional Education Service Agency to manage the district's wireless network for four years for $83,255. The district is hoping the expense will qualify for the E-Rate discount.
- Accepted a donation $100 from the First National Community Bank for the National Honor Society program.
- Hired Lauren Glenn as a home instructor for $18 an hour.
- Named Kathy Randolph as head girls and boys track coach, Megan Deichler as assistant girls track coach, and David Rutecki as assistant baseball coach.
- Adopted the school calendar for the 2013-14 year, with school starting on Aug. 26 and ending May 30.
- Hired East Liverpool City Hospital to provide athletic training services for the spring sports season.
- Contracted with Cintas to provide rugs, mops and rags for the cleaning staff for the next three years at a cost of about $5,000 per year. This is the same rate as the previous contract.
Board President Jim Smith also asked for a moment of silence in memory of former Lisbon educator and school board member Jim Patsey, who died recently.
The board's next meeting is 5 p.m. March 12.

If it were not for the decision by a young missionary, there might not be such a thing as Tebowing.
Pam Tebow of Florida will tell central Pennsylvanians later this month why she did not abort her unborn child 25 years ago - a child who would grow up and become an NFL quarterback.
She will speak at the Precious Life banquet to be held at 7 p.m. March 22 at the Jaffa Shrine Center. Tickets are $20.
She also will speak at a Precious Life breakfast to be held at 9 a.m. March 23 at the Holiday Inn in Johnstown. Tickets are $10. Pastor Scott Manganella, director of Precious Life, said Pam Tebow was advised to abort her unborn son and fifth child while she and her husband, Bob, were serving as missionaries in the Philippines.
Her decision was first made public in 2007 when ESPN interviewed her after Tim Tebow received the Heisman Trophy during his sophomore year at the University of Florida, according to the Ambassador Speakers Bureau website.
Now, she rarely gives interviews.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Precious Life Banquet
When: 7 p.m. March 22
Where: Jaffa Shrine Center
Speaker: Pam Tebow
Cost: $20
Tickets: Call 944-2669
Breakfast: Pam Tebow also will speak at a breakfast at 9 a.m. March 23 at the Holiday Inn in Johnstown. For tickets, ($10) call the above number.
She did, however, speak on the phone to Manganella about Precious Life, a crisis pregnancy organization that assists young women through their pregnancies as well as the adjustment period during the first few years of the child's life if necessary.
"She is very gracious," Manganella said.
"She was very surprised about our work in Romania," he said. "Most crisis pregnancy centers don't do that."
Manganella was referring to Precious Life's ministry to the European country. Volunteers travel to Romania once or twice a year to care for babies abandoned in hospitals and work with people in a gypsy village.
Through My Brothers Keeper, a nonprofit organization in Roxbury, Pa., Precious Life also supports three workers who give purity presentations at Romanian high schools and other outlets where youth gather. One of the presenters, Alina Livanu, will speak about her work at the banquet.
In addition to the work in Romania, Manganella said Pam Tebow was impressed that Precious Life has a maternity house and long-term transitional housing for new moms.
Manganella said even crisis pregnancy centers in major American cities don't offer all the services that Precious Life does.
Organized in 1985, Precious Life has helped thousands of young women through pregnancy or with needs after the baby is born.
He said Precious Life started 28 years ago with basically a 24-hour hotline in a borrowed office at the Knickerbocker.
Today, it has centers in Johnstown and Bedford with the Altoona office alone helping more than 500 women and teens a year. He said about 60 percent of those women and teens are pregnant.
Through the years, the needs have changed.
"We are not seeing as many teen pregnancies as much as we are college-age women, ages 18 to 24," he said. "They are the largest group we see."
Not all of them are college students, but they fall in that age group.
And while the need for housing is not as necessary as it was 20 years ago, women still use the maternity house that is currently occupied. The two apartment home includes house parents on the first floor.
In today's world, women are more in need of support services after the birth.
Manganella said Precious Life gives them with baby clothes, playards, such as Pack 'n Plays, and car seats.
The women can earn "baby dollars" to buy these baby items and others, such as diapers, through the organization's Earn While You Learn program. Mothers earn "baby dollars" by watching videos on subjects such as parenting, receiving counseling, learning first aid or taking a class in nutrition.
If an expectant mother is not sure what her plans are after the birth, Precious Life offers counseling on the options: adoption, abortion and keeping the child.
"Most choose to keep the baby," Manganella said.
For those who need help getting back on their feet, Precious Life provides apartments in Johnstown and Altoona through its long-term transitional housing program.
"Some still get abortions," Manganella said. He said about a dozen young women each year consider it with about 50 percent going through the procedure.
Some of them return to Precious Life with questions and for post abortion counseling.
They ask Manganella: "What can I do? I can't sleep. I have nightmares."
Another way the pregnancy care minister helps the young mothers is through its warehouse of home improvement items, provided by Home Depot.
Manganella said Precious Life may replace a bathroom sink or take on another necessary household repair.
And because it is a 501c3 organization, Precious Life can send items to Romania.
Manganella said the poverty there is the reason mothers leave the hospital without their offspring.
He said they may be married and already have four or five children at home and not be able to care for another one.
On their trips to the Eastern European country, volunteers from Precious Life bath, fed and cuddle the babies.
Working to prevent such scenarios are the Romanians who give purity presentations.
They talk to about 2,000 teens in four cities every month in Romania.
Manganella said after a presentation, Romanian girls have been known to say, "It never occurred to me that I can say no."
He said since its humble beginnings, Precious Life has become "quite an expansive ministry."
"We are here to help, give hope and provide an secure environment," he said. "We try to meet needs the best we can.

Okay, Benn shouldn't have done that....but really? 5+ a game and now he has a hearing? I watched homer get nailed that hard repeatedly and then get goals waived off night in and night out. He would take it, not say anything, and went right back to his spot the next shift. I thought this was a hockey league.

The Container Store is opening six stores including Arlington
The Container Store is opening six new stores this year beginning with a March 3 opening in Arlington.
The 23,056-square-foot store will be in Arlington Highlands shopping center at the northeast corner of Matlock and Interstate 20.
Six stores in one year marks the biggest expansion for the Coppell-based organization products chain. That will bring its year-end store count to 59.
The other stores will open in Las Vegas, El Segundo, Calif., Peabody, MA., and Westbury, NY, with a sixth location still in the works.
CEO Kip Tindell said fiscal 2011 ends this month and is shaping up to be the privately-held company's most profitable year in its history.
New stores in 2012 "will help sustain the incredible growth our brand and company is experiencing," Tindell said. "We've emerged from the recession as an even stronger company."

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Stetson men's basketball team was unable to produce offensively in falling on the road to USC Upstate by a score of 66-48 on Monday night at the Hodge Center. Senior Willie Green led the Hatters with 11 points, scoring in double figures for the 10th straight game.
"Tonight we played a good first half," Stetson head coach Corey Williams said. "We were right in the game. In the second half they came out and were more physical than we were, they were the tougher team, and we didn't match their intensity."
Stetson (7-19, 5-9) held the Spartans to 27 points on just 34.5 percent shooting from the floor in the first half, but the Hatters were only able to score 24 for the first 20 minutes of action.
Ricardo Glenn was responsible for most of the damage in the first frame, scoring 11 points and grabbing six rebounds – four of which were offensive. The Spartans (16-12, 9-6) totaled nine offensive rebounds, which they turned into 10 second chance points in the first half.
"I thought we were fantastic defensively in the first half," Williams said. "They only scored 66 points in the game. If you dissect it, and you look at how many times our lack of block outs ended in points for them, you realize the game could have been much closer."
Upstate extended its three-point halftime lead to 12, at 40-28, just over five minutes into the second frame. Preseason Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year Torrey Craig ignited the Spartan run, scoring seven points during the stretch.
While Upstate improved on its first half offensive output, Stetson continued to struggle from the floor. The Hatters shot just 33.3 percent from the floor and were 0-for-8 from beyond the arc, scoring another 24 points in the second half.
"The other thing is that we weren't making shots," said Williams. "If we're not making shots then it's difficult for us to win basketball games, and we saw that tonight. Their confidence grew because of that."
The Spartans cruised during the final seven minutes, extending their lead to as many as 20 points before settling on the 66-48 victory. With the win Upstate moved into a tie for third place in the league with ETSU.
Glenn finished with 18 points and eight rebounds, while Craig led all players with 20 points in the victory. ShunQuez Stephens grabbed a game high 10 rebounds and Fred Miller dealt out a game best seven assists.
Green's 11 points led the Hatters. Junior Kentwan Smith grabbed nine rebounds.
Stetson will next return home for the final regular season weekend in DeLand. The Hatters host Kennesaw State Friday at 7:00 p.m., and then welcome Mercer to the Edmunds Center on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

6 Famous Television Gags We'll Never See Again
Just like plumbers, or programmers, or surgeons, being a television writer is, at heart, just a job, and just like plumbers, or programmers, or surgeons, television writers do sometimes take shortcuts.
Jochen Sand/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Duct tape, please, nurse."
And just as a plumber's shortcut can result in hot shit spraying over your floor, or a surgeon's shortcut can result in hot shit spraying over your floor, a television writer's shortcut can result in hot shit spraying over your floor, via your television. Writing shortcuts typically take the form of ancient jokes, first thought up when the world was young and used so many times that they crumble to ash as soon as they're uttered. Many of them no longer even make sense, as they're based on observational humor of things that can no longer be observed. Here, then, are six ancient gags the world has left behind.
#6. Peering Through a Keyhole
The setup for this one is straightforward. A character, believing something of interest to be going on on the other side of a door, whether it's a lady changing clothes or a group of criminals changing clothes, decides he absolutely must know what's going on. But instead of relying on the power of his imagination, he instead bends down and peers through the door's keyhole. The camera angle changes, presenting the viewer with this:
AbleStock.com/Getty Images
The problem with this should be clear to anyone who's tried this around their home or workplace. Keyholes don't look like that anymore, and haven't since, I think, the days of ancient Greece.
AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Nowadays, if you try this, you're not going to see much more than this ...
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
... which means any attempts to view ladies changing is going to have to involve a little more planning, or, like, an Internet connection.
#5. Milkman Jokes
The basic biological nature of childbirth presents certain advantages in determining maternal parentage. If it came out of you, it's yours, and aside from a few exceptions (surrogate pregnancy, and also if everyone's giving birth in this one big darkened room), it's a pretty easy rule to work with. But the same doesn't hold true for fathers, who, until the invention of Maury, could never be 100 percent sure of their paternity.
And it's this foundation on which the Milkman Joke was laid. (Boom, word play.) You see, back when people didn't have refrigerators, dairy had to be delivered fresh by door-to-door milkmen. And as this was the same time when men were expected to be out of the house and women expected to be very much in it, there was an awful lot of unsupervised contact going on between married women and strange, milk-scented men.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Cream, madam?"
Almost every sitcom set in the suburbs has done this. I Love Lucy did it. Monty Python did it. And here's Married With Children doing it, in this case with the milkman's best friend, the mailman:
We don't see this joke much anymore, and it's not merely because we've banished milkmen from our civilization.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
No, the main reason is because women aren't trapped in their homes all day. The idea of their wife meeting men without their supervision is something that husbands just have to get used to now. It's a part of modern life; grown women should be free to adulter with any profession of their choice.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Cream, madam?"
#4. Hilarious Hijackers
Back in the good old days of air travel, when anyone could walk into the cockpit and offer the pilots a relaxing back rub, hijacking was terrifyingly common. Like dozens of times a year common; one month in 1969 saw eight planes hijacked and redirected to Cuba.
Goodshoot/Getty Images
"Leave the meter running, though; I'm just getting some smokes."
And that right there contains a big hint about how this became a running gag -- because hijacking used to involve the plane actually landing somewhere, either "freedom" (well, communism) or someplace where the hijackers would at least attempt to negotiate with authorities, passengers walked away from hijackings all the time. Fatalities happened, but they were far from a guarantee, and that was enough of a survival rate for comedians around the world to start joking about it. Here's a Monty Python sketch featuring a hijacker:
And here's the same gag during an episode of Seinfeld:
To put it mildly, the September 11 attacks changed things. We don't joke about hijacking anymore. That it took a generation-defining moment of horror to make writers give up a tired joke is a bad sign; we've got a lot more tired gags to go, and only so much appetite for generation-defining moments of horror.

How many have to die to finally rid us of "That's what she said"?

Hitting up El Arco Iris restaurant for some Mexican food and fun, the former Twilight star was joined by a group of male and female friends, and they ordered a big bowl of chicken soup, a pitcher of the strawberry margarita and a pitcher of the house special margarita.
"Kristen and her friends did a tequila shot," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "The staff said that Kristen was super sweet and was very thankful and even took photos with them."
Dressed casually in jeans and a white T-shirt, the actress wore her hair wavy and down and flashed a peace sign in a photo that was taken at the eatery.

Ohmygosh it's cold here and so windy. Coats are out and hoods are up and my eyelids droop from crummy sleep last night. Our house almost blew away, I'm sure of it.
Ivy is off to Grandma's, my home is empty. I kissed her goodbye and let her go... as they pulled away I closed the door and regret set in. I should have watched and waved from the window but then they were gone, and it was raining. So I closed the door.
Last night I watched her fall down the last four steps, neck forward and I was too far behind to stop it. I don't know how (well yes I know How) but she just has a little rugburn on her sweet skin and wouldn't sit still for me to properly hold her and let my heart find its beat. She had to go chase her brothers and finish whatever it was that she was racing down the stairs for in the first place.
What am I doing? Please someone tell me that this -- when you are in between young and old and you have the meat of life on your plate -- say I'll get to pause and savor. That I won't always be so far behind to stop in time. They grow and it just goes faster.

MACON, Ga. – Stetson University freshman first baseman Patrick Mazeika had multiple hits in all three games over the weekend as the Hatters took two of three from East Tennessee State to earn Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week honors.
Mazeika is the first Stetson baseball player to earn the weekly honor from the A-Sun this year.
A native of Wilbraham, Mass., Mazeika entered play last week with the nation's longest active hitting streak at 21 games. That streak ended in a loss to South Florida on Tuesday, but Mazeika came back with a strong performance over the weekend.
Mazeika had two hits in each of the three games against the Bucs to raise his season batting average to .405, which is .024 points higher than the second best hitter in the A-Sun this year. Mazeika also leads the league in on-base percentage (.505) and is ninth in slugging (.506). He is second in the league in hits (64) and seventh in total bases (80).
In Saturday's 7-3 victory over ETSU Mazeika had a double among his two hits, scored twice and drove in two runs. In Sunday's 2-0 victory he had an RBI triple in the first inning and scored the second run.
Mazeika has hit safely in all 15 A-Sun games for the Hatters this year and has a .483 batting average against league competition. He has had multiple hits in 10 of the last 12 games for the Hatters.
Stetson will return to action in league play this weekend when the Hatters travel to Nashville to face Lipscomb in a three-game series. The first game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start on Friday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Stetson men's soccer team (2-6-2, 1-2-1) played to a 1-1 tie with Lipscomb on the road Friday night. Senior Caleb Matthews scored the lone goal for the Hatters, tying the game in the 57th minute.
Unlike last weekend, when neither team was able to get on the board until the second half, the Bisons scored early to take a 1-0 advantage in the 12th minute of play. Matt Shanklin gathered a loose ball in the box, and found a way to loft it over junior goalkeeper Andreas Schnabl and into the back of the net unassisted.
After the halftime break, it was Stetson's turn to get on the scoreboard. The Hatters tied the game in the 57th minute on the foot of Matthews' first score of the season. Senior Jonathan Mendoza carried the ball all the way to the end line, before crossing it towards the far post, which is where Matthews ran onto the ball and one-touched it into the back of the net.
The assist marked Mendoza's second of the season and the 21st in his career. It moved the senior into sole possession of second place in the Stetson record books for career assists. He passed former Hatter Gonzalo de Mujica, who totaled 20 from 2008 to 2011.
When regulation ended, the two squads were still tied at 1-1, so they went to overtime in Nashville. Neither team was able to gain the advantage, although the Bisons recorded two shots in the second 10 minutes, and the Hatters had a chance with a corner kick with less than two minutes remaining in the match.
One hundred and ten minutes after the first whistle, Stetson and Lipscomb were still tied 1-1, each receiving one point in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings. The Bisons outshot Stetson 9-7 in the game and tallied seven corners to the Hatters' five. Schnabl finished with three saves, while John Schnurbusch totaled two for Lipscomb.
"We fought hard for a full 110 minutes, and with a man down it made this match that much more important for us to play for each other," Head Coach T. Logan Fleck said. "That's exactly what we need to do at this time of the year."
Stetson will next travel to Northern Kentucky for a Sunday Atlantic Sun Conference match. The Hatters and the Norse are scheduled to kickoff at 1:00 pm in Highland Heights, Ky.

In the Women in Business course at CDL, students use a shared document to compile data related to their research on female CEOs from around the world. Each student is asked to provide authentic biographical data for a female CEO in business today, and to add it to a shared form in Google Docs in preparation for a class discussion and later in the course, a research paper.
The data each student enters on the Google Doc serves as an abbreviated research paper thesis, and because other students can view the entries of their peers, they not only learn a bit about other CEOs they may not have chosen themselves, but they also learn to recognize a growing number of influential businesswomen in today's market.
The Google doc provides a real-time save/edit feature that provides students with the most current, up-to-date information recently added to the form by their peers or the instructor. It is important to note that students do not need gmail accounts to participate; the document is set up to allow anyone with the link to view and add data.
Because the Google Suite (Apps, Docs, Mail) doesn't yet communicate with certain screen reader technology, students with visual impairments have the option to contact the instructor and receive a downloaded version of the document that they can add their data to and resubmit.

, updated March 3, 2013 at 12:55 PM
Delusion takes many forms in Amity Gaige's unusual new novel, "Schroder," a book about identity and the vagaries of love.
Or, as its protagonist – the eponymous Schroder – puts it: "There is one thing that really deranges us, and that is the disappearance of love."
Yes, love deserts Schroder here – but, because he deserves it and because Gaige can be quite funny, we smile while regretting Schroder's choices, and grow quite fond of the complex, immature and duplicitous young man that is Schroder.
As literary creations go, he is something of a gift – a guilty pleasure as we watch him, at the age of 14, apply for summer camp in the name of Eric Kennedy rather than his real name, Erik Schroder. (The year was 1984. "There were no technologies for omniscience," he explains.)
But Gaige does not treat his deceit lightly. Instead, she treads the dual paths within all of us, favoring Schroder's devious side – first when it comes to his boyish desperation to fit in, and for two decades more as he maintains the ruse through high school, college and several years of marriage.
His story, a whopper, is simply that he was raised "in a (completely fictional) town on Cape Cod he called Twelve Hills, "a stone's throw from Hyannis Port," a treasured only child, endowed with a last name that could "only be uttered in rapture."
In truth, Schroder is an immigrant, a boy born Erik Schroder in East Germany and brought to America by his father, Otto, who cared for his son but was not involved enough in his life to learn of his fabrications.
Like every lie hung on to, Schroder's only grows. By the time we meet him, he is in his 30s and composing an Apologia pro Vita Sua to his wife, the beautiful Laura, mother to their child, the enchanting Meadow.
"Oh Laura," he writes. "If I had lived my life as one man, one consolidated man, would I have been able to see what was coming? Would I have guessed that it was all bound to fail, and that, within five years, we would separate? Would I have been able to prevent it – I mean that night when … you asked me to get out? You'd had it with me. You'd felt for years … like you were living in a house with tilted floors. We'd gone wrong."
Gaige is fascinating here, posing such questions as, can something genuine thrive in a garden of deceit? And, if nature or nurture makes us who we are, what about artifice? But she goes further, giving us fine vignettes, first of Schroder's father Otto (many of his wonderful German sayings included), then of a woman named April (an aging flower child grown somewhat wise). She also rewards us with splendid descriptions of East and West Germany, Boston, Albany and parts of Vermont while introducing us to Schroder's obsession with silence, something he is studying and writing about when he isn't committing crimes.
For crimes he does commit here, quite beyond the guise of a Kennedy: Frustrated by his separation from Laura, and subsequent short visits with their daughter Meadow, he kidnaps Meadow, taking the 6-year-old out of state, an odyssey of love that doesn't augur well. Not at all.
But it is the time-honored father-daughter bond that sustains Gaige's multifaceted narrative here. Schroder and Meadow share unforgettable "vacation" moments, eating and sleeping what and when they please while taking back roads, Meadow oblivious to the fact that their romp away from home is, among multiple other things, almost certain to put her father behind bars.
Meadow (at least to one who has daughters not to mention granddaughters) doesn't quite ring true here. Laura, because we never meet her in person, doesn't either. But Laura has one of the best lines in the book, according to Schroder who includes it in his Apologia: "I miss who I thought you were."
These are words apparently uttered before Laura had an inkling that her husband was not who he said he was. They are an example of how Gaige brings every facet of the book to bear on her central themes – identity and love, particularly the pull of love between a father and daughter.
Her plot may seem improbable but, as she explains in an interview included in the book, it was "inspired" by the true tale of the German con man who passed himself off as Clark Rockefeller, and after a separation from his wife, kidnapped their daughter.
"This con man was by many accounts a loving father," Gaige says in the interview, "and he called the days with his daughter 'the best days' of his life. The story echoed what I was already wondering about parenthood: can a deeply flawed person be a good (or good enough) parent? What does it take? How would we define that?"
Gaige defines that well here – and, if Schroder's further preoccupation, the study of silence, seems tacked on, it is nonetheless interesting, appearing mainly in footnotes:
"… We've heard that talk is silver, but silence is golden. As someone who is widely considered talkative – too talkative – the suggestion is provocative to me: Do I say less than a silent person? Is silence truth, in itself? That is, is silence the sole expression of the incommensurability of the truth with our rudimentary powers to speak it?"
At one point, Schroder dwells on "a connection between dramatic pauses and marital pauses," concluding amusingly with the thought that "anyone interested in Pinterian pauses could save the cost of a (theater) ticket and spend an evening witnessing someone's disintegrating marriage."
Later, he accepts the "essential dilettantism" of his study of silence, returning to terra firma and the reality of a life first set off kilter on the day, as a 14-year-old, he signed his name "Eric Kennedy" on a camp application.
In all, we are glad to be along for the ride. And when someone asks Schroder, near the novel's end, "Do you miss it? I mean, your made-up life?" – we can assume that, in large part, he does.
We can also confess, now we know Schroder so well, that we do too.

Track & Fields Weekend Meet At Purdue Cancelled
Muncie, Ind. - - For the second straight season, the Mike Poehlein Invitational hosted by Purdue has been cancelled due to inclement weather. The meet will not be rescheduled.
Saturday's forecast calls for temperatures of 33 degrees and snow, with wind chills in the low 20s at the meet's planned start time. Heavy rains also soaked the track late Thursday night and into Friday morning.
Last year's Mike Poehlein Invite was also cancelled after a winter storm rolled through the West Lafayette area and blanketed the campus with nine inches of snow just days before the meet was scheduled.
The Ball State outdoor track & field team returns to action next Friday (April 4), when it opens competition in the two-day Miami Invitational in Oxford, Ohio.

Anointment Natural Herbal Powder ... a soft, drying powder that's talc-free.
An all-natural, talc-free solution to your typical baby powders! Talc is a potential lung irritant and carcinogen when inhaled - and when you 'pouf' baby powder around, chances are baby (and parent!) will inhale it. Anointment's natural baby powder is free of irritants, carcinogens and harmful perfumes. Instead you'll find wonderful herbs like marshmallow root, and pure essential oils such as lavender oil, in our natural baby power to help soothe irritations, absorb moisture and prevent rash.
Anointment Natural Baby Power is a talc-free herbal powder that is made with white clay, arrowroot and a special blend of gentle herbs. Perfect to help keep baby's bottom dry, this herbal powder can also be used for big kid (and adults!) shoes or gym bags to keep them smelling fresh, and to prevent chafing on hot and humid days.
A favourite use in the Parenting By Nature household is for our own natural deodorant to soak up excess moisture when needed. Simply make a past of powder and organic coconut oil and apply with clean, damp hands. Allow to dry, and you've got a natural deodorant without chemicals, fragrances and aluminum.
To Use: Use at each diaper change to keep moisture out of folds of skin. Can also be used as a dry shampoo for an infant. For big kids and grown ups, sprinkle this herbal powder in shoes, gym bags or use as a dry deodorant under the arms when needed.

No matter how many times a dog's master commands their pooch to speak, the outcome is usually met with the expected "woof!" If they're looking for a different reply, maybe some alphabet soup is in order.
At least that's the clever plot behind the children's book series, "Martha Speaks," by Susan Meddaugh, which was turned into a musical that is making its way to the local stage as part of the Family Theatre at the Mishler series Tuesday.
The 60-minute musical is about a family dog named Martha who gains the ability to speak after eating alphabet soup, according to a press release from the show's production company, Theatreworks USA.

Carolyn Dole plays Martha the talking dog in a scene with Gwen Hollander in the original cast of "Martha Speaks." The role of Martha will be played by Shayna Gabrielle during an upcoming performance at the Mishler Theatre.
In the production, Martha gets into some shenanigans such as using the telephone. She ends up winning a free family vacation on a radio call-in show, but when Martha and her family get to the hotel, a sign reads: "No dogs allowed!"
The musical is recommended for children ages 4 and up.
Joel Sparks, 22, plays the dad and Mr. Terrington in the show. In a phone interview while on break from touring Thursday, Sparks said this was his first production with the company.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "Martha Speaks"
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Mishler Theatre, Altoona
Tickets: $8.50, adults; $7.50, seniors; $5.50, children, plus a $3 box office handling fee. Tickets are available at the box office, 1208 12th Ave., 944-9434, or www.mishlertheatre.org. The box office is open 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"'Martha Speaks' is a series of books, and our show covers the first two in the series starting from when Martha first becomes able to talk and then through her trips with the family to the Come On Inn. And I play the father figure in the family, trying to balance the real world and the world of a talking dog and the reality of all those things that that entails," he said.
Blair County Arts Foundation Executive Director Kate Shaffer said kids are familiar with the story from the books and a PBS television cartoon based on them.
"What we try to do when we're balancing the season is try to offer some literary adaptations,"?she said.
"We did actually three of them this year - 'If you Give a Mouse a Cookie,' 'Junie B. Jones' and 'Martha Speaks' - because children are familiar with the books, and they're familiar with the story so it's much more engaging for them if they're familiar with the subject material."
The show will also be performed for school audiences.
A lesson on standing up for oneself is part of the story.
"Martha is a dog who finds her voice by eating a bowl of [alphabet] soup. And by finding her voice, she learns to stand up for herself and what she believes in," Theatreworks USA Marketing Associate Christina Hoffman said in an email. "The show very much speaks to a bullying theme. Not only do we want to project the lesson that children should be confident to stand up for what they believe in but also to stand up for themselves."
Sparks echoed those sentiments.
"The message of the show is that if you see something that's wrong, speak up and speak up for what you believe in and stand up for what you think is right, and that message really radiates throughout the show and really hits home towards the end," Sparks said. "The whole show is about how there are no dogs allowed, no dogs allowed and finally Martha who's a dog and can speak for all the other dogs says, 'Wait a second, this is ridiculous. Dogs should be allowed.' And so that's the moral that jumps out through the story."
But that's not all the show has to offer.
"The other thing that's cool about this show is that it really is an introduction to theater for a lot of these young kids; for a lot of them, it's one of the first shows that they have seen," he said, "and so that's Theatreworks main mission is to bring theater to young audiences that would not normally get to see good quality theater."
Being a part of that is cool, Sparks said.
"Even on the hardest days of tour, when it's early... in the morning and you don't have your coffee quite yet and you're moaning and groaning, I think back to when I was that age and going to the theater shows and those field trip shows and having that be the highlight of the year, and to remember it to this day means that it made an impact on me, so I know that I can do that for other kids every day, so that's a very cool gift that I could give."
Creating a stage production from a book "poses some very real challenges," Theatreworks USA Artistic Director Barbara Pasternack said in the email.
"A book like 'Martha Speaks' is beloved by children," she said. "They come to the theater with certain expectations, and we want to fulfill those expectations. We try to respect and preserve the essence of the book's original characters, and the author's intentions.
"However, because this is a staged musical, there must be character development, conflict (which is the definition of drama) and a good story arc. And, of course, the songwriters have to figure out how to make it sing. If the musical is based on a picture book, the designers have to create sets and costumes that reflect the tone of the illustrations. In the end, the original author often has to give his or her stamp of approval to the show before it begins touring."
The creative team plays an important role.
"Selecting the right creative team for a project - book writer, composer and lyricist, a director and choreographer and designers - is an essential part of the process," Pasternack said. "It's like matchmaking... if the material and creators are a good match, the show is successful."
The Blair County Arts Foundation does several productions a year with Theatreworks USA "because they're such a tremendous production company," Shaffer said.

Track & Field Set For Thursdays Hillsdale Classic
MUNCIE, Ind. - - In its final tune-up before the 2014 Mid-American Conference Outdoor Championships, the Ball state track & field team returns to action Thursday at the Hillsdale Classic hosted by Hillsdale College.
Field events are slated to start at noon with the hammer throw, while running events begin at 4 p.m. with the 100m hurdles. This will be the final chance for Ball State's student-athletes to qualify for the league meet, which caps each event at 20 participants or all automatic qualifiers if there are more than 20. If 20 student-athletes did not post automatic marks in an event, entrants are selected going down the conference performance list. Only three student-athletes from the same school can be entered in an event.
So far, three Cardinals have posted automatic qualifying marks into the MAC Outdoor Championships. The most recent came last week, when junior Hannah Ciasto-Poor (Bloomington, Ind. /Bloomington South) posted a school record mark of 3.72m in the pole vault at last weekend's Dave Rankin Invitational. The effort stands as the 11th-best in the conference this season.
Junior Christina Crawford (Belleville, Mich./Romulus) enters the week as one of the favorites in the MAC in the long jump, with an automatic qualifying mark of 6.04m set at the RedHawk Invitational (May 2). Crawford also enters the week ranked 12th in the league in the 100m dash at 12.01 also set at the RedHawk Invitational.
Ball State's final automatic qualifier is junior Haley Austin (Avon, Ind./Avon) who ranks fifth in the MAC in the high jump after posting a career-best mark of 1.70m at the Cardinal Invitational.
Overall, a total of 15 Ball State student-athletes are ranked in the top 20 in their respective events on the MAC performance list entering the Hillsdale Classic.
In the 3000m steeplechase, Ball State's junior twin sister duo of Courtney Edon (New Palestine, Ind./New Palestine) and Caitlynn Edon (New Palestine, Ind./New Palestine) are ranked 14th (11:16.02) and 16th (11:24.53), respectively, in the MAC.
In throws, senior Erin Walker (Laurell Hill, Fla./Paxton/Troy) ranks 14th in the MAC in the hammer throw (50.54m) and 15th in the discus (45.59m), while sophomore Michaela Hull (Bloomington, Ind./South) is poised to qualify for the league meet in three events, ranking 13th in the javelin (35.92m), 18th in the discus (44.36m) and 23rd in the shot put (12.20m).

The 5 Ways Sci-Fi Universes Treat Black Characters
#2. Independence Day
Independence Day features Will Smith at his most likable in the role of Captain Steven Hiller. He's a brave, badass Marine Corps pilot who helps save the world from a hostile alien invasion. He punches out aliens, he successfully flies alien spaceships into the belly of the beast and, perhaps bravest of all, he marries a stripper. Hell, he's even a super good dad to her son. Also, he cleans up nice, and he's done more to cement black/Jewish relations than Sammy Davis Jr. Just look at the lovely team he and Jeff Goldblum made. And in a film directed by a German, no less. Just think, only 60 years earlier, Germans were writing stories about the Jews bringing blacks out of Africa for the sole purposes of bastardizing the master race, and now they're working hand in hand to save the world.
How was this not adapted into a TV show starring Ron Silver and Bill Bellamy?
So why is Independence Day second on the list of how black characters are portrayed? It's only because I can argue that our number one universe is just that much more awesome.
#1. Star Trek
First place goes to Star Trek, for a one, two, three punch of incredibly admirable black characters. Unless Spike Lee produces a series entitled MLK and the Freedom Fighters in Outer Space before this goes to print, I defy you to find another sci-fi universe where black characters are portrayed more favorably. (Quick note: Although later series generally cast black actors in the roles of Klingons, they don't count because, y'know, they're Klingons.)
It all started with the lovely and talented Nichelle Nichols, who was the epitome of cocksure military professionalism as Lieutenant Uhura on the original Star Trek. Playing a black woman in a short skirt and knee boots in the mid-'60s was ripe with challenges, but no one could question her professionalism -- she was always more serious and efficient on the bridge than anyone besides Spock. But then off-duty, she could kick back and sing songs in the cafeteria (or do a naked feather dance on another planet, as in Star Trek V).
At the Edmonton Expo, I asked Nichols to do the feather dance. According to the security guards who beat me unconscious,
she thought it was a pretty good joke.
Then came The Next Generation and Geordi La Forge. I can't talk about him too long, because Internet law requires one Reading Rainbow joke for every 50 words about LeVar Burton, and I think we'd all like to avoid that. But it's fair to say that Geordi had all of Uhura's grace, morality and professionalism, and he did it all while wearing a banana clip over his eyes.
And finally, securing Star Trek as the universe that most favorably portrayed black characters, there's Deep Space Nine's Benjamin Sisko. About the worst thing you can say about Sisko was that he was really stiff and dull, but that was before the shaved head and goatee. Then he was a badass captain with edge. Sure, he hated Picard for leading an attack that killed Sisko's wife (when Picard was part Borg), but that's understandable, right? It's hard to find any fault with Sisko: a sexy, Creole-loving outer space badass from New Orleans.
"I will physically murder you with my mere stare while cooking the tastiest jambalaya ever."
Uhura plus La Forge plus Sisko make a tower of black awesomeness even more impressive than the 2001 monolith. Unbeatable.

Lovely Molly

Critic Reviews
- Critic score

- By date
The film's inconsistent, largely bankrupt style is second to how hard and tackily it leans on the horror of child abuse to goose audiences.
Common sense and basic logic are left at the door; there's a brief creature effect that is laughably, outlandishly awful.
It can't sustain interest in the endless unraveling of Molly's psyche, which, as handled by Sánchez, has all the interest of watching an inexplicably untreated wound fester.

Sep 20, 2012I had no idea that "Lovely Molly" was directed by Eduardo Sánchez or I probably wouldn't have watched it. I've never had anything goodI had no idea that "Lovely Molly" was directed by Eduardo Sánchez or I probably wouldn't have watched it. I've never had anything good to say about "The Blair Witch Project" (1999), and "Altered" (2006) wasn't very memorable. Maybe I shouldn't be prejudiced against certain directors (since most of them are only hired for their ability to boss everyone around on set), but, in the case of Eduardo Sánchez, he's always tried to be something of an auteur. The problem is, of course, that if you set yourself up as such, trying to be all groundbreaking, innovative and original, your movie is either going to be a huge success or completely suck.
However, "Lovely Molly" really surprised me in a good way especially as it was yet another low-budget entry into the horror genre. I wouldn't call the estimated $1,000,000 budget all that low, but, in movie terms, it was the minimum amount which would allow all the bells and whistles for acceptable production values or to hire decent talent both in front of and behind the camera.
I'd hazard a guess that most of the budget was spent on the cast as my one major gripe with "Lovely Molly" was that it seemed to lack a lighting crew. Maybe the intention was to add atmosphere to the already neglected-looking setting, but the gloominess came across as annoying and a product of some very amateur camerawork particularly in daylight when the sun was behind the actors.
That nitpicking aside, the acting was phenomenal. Gretchen Lodge, in particular, was not only very beautiful and realistically so, but she was outstanding in her role as Molly. Although, physically, she occasionally reminded me of Cécile De France from "High Tension" (2003), she really brought her character to life, and her personality change as the story progressed wouldn't have been out of place in an Academy Award nominated movie. According to the IMDb, this was her first movie, and that makes her performance even more incredible. If only every horror actress was this good, we wouldn't have all those embarrassing wannabes in the "Women of Horror" clique who I'm sure you've all encountered over the years.
I didn't really bother to look up the credentials of the other actors and actresses involved as there were no bad performances from any of them. Obviously, Alexandra Holden as Hannah, Molly's sister, had another superb yet far too brief role, and Johnny Lewis as Tim, Molly's truck-driving husband, really came through with a sympathetic performance which made me feel quite sorry for his otherwise spineless character.
"Lovely Molly" was a very character driven story so it might seem slow to a lot of people. When it started with a wedding, I feared another "[REC]³ Génesis" about to happen, but, fortunately, it was completely different. There were some superficial similarities as, once again, a video camera played an important part, but this was not a found footage movie or a parody of the genre. "Lovely Molly" was a serious, ballsy, taboo-laden amalgam of admittedly derivative themes set in a very real and low-income environment.
Because this is a fairly recently released movie which you probably haven't seen yet, I'm avoiding the spoilers (and details) as much as I can. Suffice it to say that there was a lot of nudity, some extreme sexiness which I really didn't expect, and all sorts of horrific nastiness, violence, bloodshed, and murder along the way. You can find out a lot more by visiting the official website which I suggest that you do anyway before you watch "Lovely Molly" as there are some "Blair Witch"-style features on there which add a lot of details to the backstory.
I will just add that one of my favourite scenes was between Molly and Pastor Bobby (played by Field Blauvelt), but I'm not going to give away any more than that.
Now that I've had time for it all to sink in, "Lovely Molly" was absolutely the best and most original horror movie that I've seen so far this year. It was a little bit slow to begin with, very confusing near the end, and slightly overambitious, but the acting was worthy of a horror Oscar if such a thing existed.… Full Review »
Mar 11, 2014I love horror movies. I've been watching them since the 80's. It's really hard to find the next big thrill amongst all the rubbish that isI love horror movies. I've been watching them since the 80's. It's really hard to find the next big thrill amongst all the rubbish that is produced these days. I was advised by a friend, that this is a creepy and disturbing well acted horror and well worth my time. But the truth is... its absolutely terrible.
Me and my wife were literally laughing in hysterics at how badly acted the film was. The lead actress is an unlikeable, spoilt, self centred little Emo who just needs to be told to grow up, and get rid of that annoying hair cut. The film has no continuity, no pacing and has no idea what sub genre of horror it wants to be. A demon movie, a psychological thriller, a found footage movie, a gore movie, a paranormal movie, a movie about addiction and grief, or a cheating husband, or child killers, or horse head racoon bendy arm beast movie.
It really is an absolute mess. Not one scene avoided cliché, and not one scene made me jump. By 60 minutes in of nothing happening I very nearly turned it off.
Please avoid this at all costs, you will waste an evening where a decent film could have been watched. Unless you want a good laugh drinking with a few mates and mocking the poor level of film making... AVOID!!!… Full Review »
Jan 31, 2013Newlyweds Tim and Molly move in to Molly's childhood home after the death of her parents, but the demons from the past return to haunt her asNewlyweds Tim and Molly move in to Molly's childhood home after the death of her parents, but the demons from the past return to haunt her as she spirals back in to drugs and paranoia. LOVELY MOLLY is an exercise in claustrophobic tension and psychological terror from THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT director Eduardo Sánchez. Like Lars von Trier's ANTICHRIST, LOVELY MOLLY is deeply embedded with occult symbolism and paranoid delusion as Sánchez draws a dizzying veil of madness around his characters. The lines of reality are often blurred and left open to interpretation throughout the film as a result, which can sometimes have a disorienting effect on the viewer. On top of its suffocating mood, LOVELY MOLLY succeeds in creating a number of subtle scares through its spine-tingling sound design, putting the audience on edge without saturating the screen in blood or gore. Gretchen Lodge is as much an asset as she is a liability as Molly. At times, her blatant overacting destroys the illusion, but for every misstep, she counters with an equally-haunting moment of dread. If one thing can be said for certain, however, it is that Lodge has fully committed herself to this role, and she truly believes in the character she is portraying on screen. Atmosphere wins out above all else in this chilling little mood piece.… Full Review »
