Other Fun Card Games
The card game known as Spoons also goes by a variety of other names as well, but the fundamental rules are the same – be fast and be sneaky!
How to Play Spoons
To begin a game of spoons requires a traditional deck of 52 cards and the same number of spoons as players, minus one. For example, if there are five players, then there must be only four spoons.
The dealer fans out the spoons in the center of the table so that they can be easily reached by all of the players. Next the dealer gives four cards to each of the players and places the remainder of the deck within reach of all players. The top card is flipped over in a face up position, and is now the discard pile.
The game begins with dealer pulling the top card from the pile, deciding if he/she wants it and then either passing this card, or one from their own hand to the player on their right. This continues around the table until the player at the left of the dealer decides which card to keep or discard, and then places this in the discard pile. Should the players go through the deck before the game ends, the discard pile is turned over and used instead.
Object of Playing Card Game Spoons
The object of playing Spoons is to get four of a kind. The trick to winning the game of spoons is to wait for a moment when all other players are distracted before reaching into the table to grab a spoon. Only a player with four of a kind can do so, and then everyone else must make a mad dash to claim a spoon of their own. Remember that there is one less spoon than the number of players, which means the person without a spoon, loses.
Tips for Playing Spoons
One fun technique that many players of Spoons use is to make sure the spoons are neatly aligned in a circle with the handles pointing out and the points touching in the center. The player with four of a kind can take their spoon and then use it to hit the center of the rest of them. This can send them flying off in all directions, chased by everyone left in the game.
Usually, the game requires a player to lose three times before they are out permanently. As the players get eliminated it comes down to one spoon and two players. This is the reason that several good techniques have developed to allow a player to act fast. For example many players do not wait for the player next to them to take their discard, but instead lay them on the table next to them.
Other Variations of Spoons
There are literally dozens of variations of spoons that aim to make the game a bit more complicated. For example there are five and three card variations that require different number of ranking cards. There are also versions that require touching of noses instead of grabbing for spoons, and some games use different items such as corks instead of spoons.

UN Observes "Earth Hour"
31 March 2012: The UN observed "Earth Hour" on 31 March by turning off the lights at its New York Headquarters and other facilities around the world, for one hour. Earth Hour was launched in 2007 by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and calls for people, organizations and cities to turn off non-essential lights for an hour.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the UN was turning off its lights in solidarity with the men, women and children "who live with no access to electricity," and also as "a symbol of our commitment to sustainable energy for all." According to the UN, in 2011 over 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries observed Earth Hour to show support for action on climate change.

If you want to know something about Columbiana County politics a good place to start is by learning the Halleck Rule.
The Halleck Rule is simple. If you want to know the truth about something then believe the opposite of whatever Mike Halleck says.
Last week was a perfect example. An employee of the coroner's office has repeatedly tried to discuss an ethical issue regarding her employer. Mike Halleck did not want to discuss the issue. He wants to see it swept under the rug. Translation, the issue with the coroner is one that we need to know more about.
Mr. Halleck claims that his self-righteous rant in a recent commissioners' meeting was not political. He is always quick to attack a Democrat, but will not even listen to something about the Republican coroner. The translation, Mr. Halleck's rant was purely political.
The Halleck Rule works every time.

Selling Your Book Online
Your plan is to generate buzz for your business with your new book. Here's how to sell it on the Web
I've written a book that could generate interest in my business. I'd like to sell it on the Internet, but I don't know how.
—E.H., Los Angeles
Since a publisher would have made your book available for sale immediately through online booksellers, we'll assume that you have not yet published the book.
If you think your book has a shot at being published by a traditional publishing company, submit it to some book agents who work with business authors. A 2006 survey on the business impact of writing a book showed that getting a well-known publisher resulted in more sales and greater credibility for the author's firm (BusinessWeek.com, 4/12/06]. Publishers Marketplace, a resource book and Web site, can help you identify agents and clue you in on what to submit to them: Some want complete manuscripts, but more often agents want query letters, book outlines, and perhaps a sample chapter. If a book agent takes on your project, he or she will market it to publishers that specialize in books like yours and represent you in the financial negotiations. Most agents work on commission.
Getting a book accepted by a traditional publisher isn't an easy task, however. If you've already tried and failed, or want to bypass the traditional publishing route entirely, you can do what many authors are doing these days: Self-publish your manuscript through an online print-on-demand firm (BusinessWeek.com, 1/9/08). Research several of these operations thoroughly and compare price quotes and references before you sign a contract. Be wary of firms that market themselves as "vanity" publishers. Some of them are scammers who may do little or no editing of your manuscript, yet charge you an exorbitant fee to turn out a shoddy, unsellable book.
The ABCs of Self-Publishing
In order for your book to be accepted and sold by an online retailer, your book must first be assigned an International Standard Book Number (ISBN), says Peter Honsberger, president of Cold Tree Press of Brentwood, Tenn. "ISBNs are necessary for tracking inventory and sales information. You can acquire an ISBN here, or you can go to Bowker Publisher Services, which is the official ISBN agency for the U.S. "Bowker is responsible for the assignment of ISBNs to publishers with a residence or office in the U.S.," Honsberger says.
If you self-publish, obtain an ISBN for your book and do a small print run so you have some inventory. At that point, you'd want to enter into an agreement with a reputable wholesale book distributor. Honsberger recommends both Baker & Taylor and Ingram Book Group. "Be sure to establish yourself as a publisher, even if you only have one book, and register to have access to Bowker's Books In Print. This database is the one most online retailers draw from when placing titles on their sites," Honsberger says.
A third option, which falls between self-publishing and selling your manuscript to a traditional publisher, is to publish with a "transitional publisher," such as Honsberger's, which arranges for your ISBN and places your book into online book retailers' systems and databases, as well as handling order fulfillment. Such a firm will also arrange for a scannable bar code for your book through a company such as Fine Line Technologies, Honsberger says.
Promoting Your Book
Once your book is ready to be sold, create and maintain a Web site where you can take orders or link interested buyers to the sites that are carrying your book. Of course, just putting up a Web site won't guarantee book sales. You'll need to promote your book heavily through your friends, family, employees, and colleagues. "If they enjoyed reading it, encourage them to post honest reviews on the sites that are carrying your title," Honsberger recommends. Other promotional opportunities include starting a blog for your book, hosting a MySpace page (BusinessWeek.com, 3/8/07) linking up with other authors to cross-promote, and participating in online literary forums, using your book title as your signature. If you are an informative, polite participant in such groups, your book will generate attention and interest potential customers without your having to do any hard selling.
You'll also want to contact bookstores and libraries to arrange book readings and signings, donate copies of your book to your local library, and pitch media outlets on reviewing your book or writing about your experience as a first-time author. "Hit broadcast media, magazines, and newspapers that serve your area, and if you have problems getting coverage in large cities, go after your local community newspapers," Honsberger suggests.
Good luck!

The social committee would like to see as many bowlers as possible attend Sunday's Christmas dinner. Please reserve your table with Di Templeton or Linda Brown. The cost is $25 per person, starting with nibbles at 6
The mixed triples tournament is now open for entries. The flyer is on the noticeboard. Please enter your team with Derrick Boyd.
We are proud to have a new sponsor — Perfect Patches — for this tournament.
The twilight tournament will be held on January 4, and entries are now being taken; the flyer is on the notice board.
On Sunday the State Singles was played. The ladies played at Broadford, and the Round Two winners were Denise Hogan (Seymour) who defeated Sylvia Love (Seymour) 26-12, Marika Armstrong (Eildon) who defeated Lyn Gleeson (Broadford) 25-18, Alison Hall (Seymour) who defeated Margaret Legge (Alexandra) 26-12, and Judy Shelley (Alexandra) who defeated Ann Borham (Seymour) 25-24.
In the men's State Singles the Round Two winners were Barry Lingham (Wallan) who defeated Trevor Young (Kilmore), Maurie Houghton (Seymour) who defeated Linton Gleeson (Broadford), Matt McMaster (Kilmore) who defeated Peter Wood (Kilmore), and Mark Simmonds (Alexandra) who defeated Justin Branch (Yea).
Congratulations go to all winners, and good luck next week; venue to be advised.
GV Division One: What a great day it was for this team, which travelled to Mooroopna to play last year's premier which was widely tipped to win and set about their task in emphatic fashion to once again come home on the bus celebrating victory.
It was a great team effort with all players contributing to the positive result; there was a super performance from the players in Greg Whiteman's rink, with Max Hammond earning the player of the week for an outstanding game.
Disappointingly, two of our players (Cummo and Peter Tennant) had to withdraw due to injuries this week. We hope you both get well soon.
This week is Euroa at home before the Christmas break.
CBD Division One: Unfortunately this team couldn't match it with Wallan at Wallan. While clearly being competitive, we just can't manage to have our noses in front at the end. It was a pretty good effort given it is a green that favours the home side.
CBD Division Two: Had a wonderful win against its opposition despite being without regular skipper Peter Lawrence. His replacement Stuart Crockett filled his shoes admirably and won his first game as skip. Well done, Stuart.
GV Division Five: There was another outstanding performance from this team, which is now sitting at the top of the ladder. The team succeeded despite being without Clive Royals, who unfortunately severely injured his hip and will be out of action for some time. We wish you a full and speedy recovery, Clive.
There was a big plus for our teams after analysing the cards — we are winning a good number of ends and keeping the average shot loss per losing end of the opposition to a minimum. This is an indication that all players are contributing well. Great work.
— Toucha
Seymour VRI
There were disappointing results for the club as all teams went down narrowly after conceding the lead late in their respective games.
Division One travelled to Alexandra and played on the grass green; holding an 11-shot lead, two rinks were unable to score over the last five ends on each rink, and the team conceded the lead to go down by three shots overall — falling out of the top four.
Division Two Blue at the VRI Number Two green also had a close finish, with all rinks unable to score sufficient shots as they finished their games to go down by nine shots overall.
Division Two Navy at the Broadford green was sweating on the last rink to finish as the opposition scored eight shots over the last four ends, and took the lead with a four-shot overall win.
Division One had a heartbreaking two-shot loss last week, and the pain continued as the Alexandra team's score kept ticking over for a three-shot loss to Seymour VRI this week.
Division Two Blue faced up to a strong Alexandra Maroon team at the Number Two green, and held it to account until late in the game; but none of the VRI rinks were able to finish strongly and the team ended with a nine-shot deficit overall.
Division Two Navy travelled to Broadford and tasted its first defeat for the season, but held on to the top position on the ladder in another close-finishing game.
Saturday will be the last round of pennant prior to the Christmas break, and Division One travels to Kilmore to play the top team on the ladder in a must-win game for a chance to return to the top four after three losses.
Division Two Navy will need to return to the winning list against Seymour at the VRI Number Two green, and the Division Two Blue team will go to Kilmore against the Kilmore White team which appears to be struggling — but we must not become complacent.
All club games are to be played on the Number Two green until further advised.
Have you booked for the Seymour VRI Bowling Club Christmas break-up to be held at the club after pennant on Saturday, commencing at 7
The Christmas raffle will be drawn on Saturday night at the Christmas break-up.
— Two Hats
Nagambie recorded an excellent but nail-biting win against Kyabram, gaining the points by just one shot.
The locals won on three rinks, and the only team to go down was that of Glen Weathrell. Although trailing all day, it was Glen and John who saved the day; down by one shot overall with one end to go, John drew the shot and on the last bowl of the day Glen drew second shot, giving Nagambie an exciting one-shot win.
The Fives did a good job, going down by only five shots. Well down on numbers owing to the un-availablity of some players, once again they had to call on the ladies to fill in; thanks goes to Dot Cameron and Lyn Sinden.
Next week the Twos will play Hill Top at home and the Fives will travel to Shepparton RSL.
The Christmas break-up will be held after the pennant games.
The final of the A-Grade championship will be a repeat of last year, with Greg Brack playing Des Fothergill. Greg was successful on that day but Des is hoping for a reversal of that result.
Wednesday bowls are still going well, winners were Geoff Higgins (skip) Kayla Shepherd and Keenan Shepherd.

History in the Making
SOURCE: AP/Alex Brandon
The House of Representatives this evening made history. Progressive and moderate members of Congress passed the most significant domestic legislative package in over 40 years—legislation that fulfills the promise of progressive leadership by finally addressing the long-simmering health care crisis in our country. The new law puts us on a path to provide health care coverage for all Americans, empowers consumers over insurance companies, and ensures we are moving to reduce health care costs over the long term.
The new law accomplishes the long-sought goal of expanding affordable health care coverage to the tens of millions of Americans who are uninsured today, ensuring that 95 percent of Americans will soon have health insurance. And it ends abusive health insurance company practices by guaranteeing no American will ever again be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition or see their coverage canceled when they get sick.
Importantly, the new law also lowers costs for small businesses and individuals who buy coverage on their own through the creation of health insurance exchanges. It caps health care spending for millions of families who struggle with health costs today. And it brings a new focus to prevention, helping all families manage their health. Moreover, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill reduces the federal budget deficit by $143 billion through 2019, and it will yield even greater savings in the decades to come.
Yet the hard work of health reform isn't finished—first the Senate must pass the final bill and send it to the President's desk.
But today we should celebrate this historic achievement. I congratulate Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC), and all of the members of the House of Representatives who worked tirelessly to ensure the passage of this legislation. Their leadership—and the leadership of President Obama—delivered on the longstanding progressive goal of fundamentally reforming our nation's health care system.
John D. Podesta is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Center for American Progress.
What health reform promises the nation
- How health reform's modernizations will reduce health care spending by $2 trillion
- Better health care at lower costs
- Health reform will create up to 4 million jobs in the next decade
- Health reform and the federal deficit
- Controlling health care costs—the critical element

While not the newest and biggest ship, the Sun had most of the amenities you'd except from the larger ships.
Many dining options with no lines at any of them. The Teppanyaki availability was hard to come by, so make your reservations early. The food ranged from pretty good in the main dining rooms to fantastic in the premium restaurants.
Service was attentive and friendly. The crew did a great job at every level.
The stateroom was adequate in size, but could have used more storage. The soap and shampoo are below par, so bring your own. The room was in clean, in good condition and up-to-date in decor.
The ports-of-call were very good with Cartegna, Curacao, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Aruba. I must say the Curacao was a good surprise. Shore excursions were generally uninteresting to our party. Nothing stood out as a must-do.

Mike Richards is the sole reason Jeff Carter was not traded two seasons ago when the Flyers organization was fed up with his softness and constant Walt Disney On Ice show.
Richards fought tooth and nail and whined like the little bitch everyone here on covers constantly accuses him of being to keep them from trading his buddy. This time around the organization would not give in as they should not have. If they had kept Richards after trading Carter he just would have moped and whined like the spoiled rotten little kid that he is and had an even worse season this year then he did last, mind you I don't know if that's possible as he was non existent for most of this past season both on the scoreboard and as the leader he was supposed to be.

MARTINSBURG - Telamon Corporation helps Eastern Panhandle residents build their future by introducing a new home repair program to their popular Self-Help Housing program.
A nonprofit organization, Telamon Corporation provides opportunity to low- and very low-income community members by helping provide better housing options through their Self-Help Housing program and new Purchase Repair program.
"We've completed 75 homes to date under the Self-Help Housing program in Berkeley and Jefferson county. It is a mutual self-help housing where all participants work together to construct their house and work with their neighbor to construct their neighbors' houses," said Telamon Corporation Data Specialist Kara Hesen.
Article Photos
Program participants supply 65 percent of the labor needed to complete all of the houses. Participants do not pay a down payment, and mortgage payments are based on ability to pay while loans are available through the USDA Rural Development. All houses are typically constructed in 15 months.
Telamon Corporation is expanding its Self-Help Housing program to include a Purchase Repair program, where instead of building a new house, participants search for a house currently on the market but in need of repair.
"The Purchase Repair program is basically a program where a potential homebuyer could purchase a home that needs repairs and be able to include the repair amount in the (USDA Rural Development) loan," Hesen said.

Monday through Friday
"With this particular program we will be able to assist them with going in and purchasing the house as well as doing the repairs to the house that need to be done," she said.
Houses chosen for the Purchase Repair program should need repair costs between $10,000 to $20,000, the house should be built prior to Jan. 1, 1978 and participants must be willing to work a minimum of 120 to 150 hours.
"We want them to be in this house, repairs done, within three months," Hesen said.

Requirements for both housing programs include applying and meeting the pre-qualification factors, which consist of meeting the income guidelines, having a stable job and acceptable credit history and be willing to work the required number of hours per week during the construction period.
Telamon Corporation is hosting an information session on the Self-Help Housing programs for interested residents at 6 p.m. on April 17 at the Telamon Corporation headquarters in Martinsburg.

We analyze two monetary economies - a cash-credit good model and a limited participation model. In our models, monetary policy is made by a benevolent policymaker who cannot commit to future policies. We define and analyze Markov equilibrium in these economies. We show that there is no time inconsistency problem for a wide range of parameter values.

This edition of a well-known German textbook of histology retains the familiar format of the previous edition. Principal changes from the earlier volume are in those areas in which electron microscopy has contributed much to current knowledge of cell and tissue morphology and function; as a consequence of this aspect of present-day biological research, those sections have been revised extensively. Many new illustrations, chiefly electron micrographs and diagrams derived from electron microscope studies, have been added. The text has been revised to include discussion and comment on these pertinent findings. Examples of the newer material include illustrations of the ultrastructure of peripheral myelinated nerve fibers, nonmyelinated nerve fibers, nodes of Ranvier, synapses, thrombocytes, lung capillaries, sperm cells, skin, mammary gland, retinal rod cells, and crista ampullaris.
As do previous editions, this volume stresses the significance of morphology not in the static descriptive sense but in its relation to function as

" It would be impossible to replicate my first impressions of the Pioneer Superior Club Sound in-ear headphone series. As such, if you'd like my initial reaction, check out myPioneer SE-CX9 review.

A few months ago, me and my buddy Graham P. were asked to present a couple of pitches to a network executive. Sadly, our main bet didn't go forward. But it's all good. After all, we got some great industry tips in the process AND got to keep our pitches under the belt to shop around in the future.
So, here's a one-sheet for one of the projects. The idea was born a couple of years ago, back when I was still in Vancouver. It's a sort of nonsensical zombie comedy for kids. Set in a post-apocalyptic suburban town. Inside a dome. Yeah, yeah... it sounds high-concept and all, but it's really about the characters and the gags.
Hopefully one day it'll go forward. We'll keep polishing it until then.

Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos to a 26-16 win over the New England Patriots Sunday to win the AFC Championship.
The win sends the Broncos into the Super Bowl against Seattle or San Francisco on Feb. 2 at NetLife Stadium. It will be the first outdoor, cold weather Super Bowl.
Here is a look at how the game looked through the lenses of Denver fans attending the game.

User reports that their My Site storage limit has been reached ('_layouts/storman.aspx') even though they have used less space than their actual quota.
The first thing to look at here is whether they have items in their recycle bin since this counts against their total quota:
However from this view you will only be able to see documents you have deleted yourself; instead go to,
Once you or the user has deleted these items they will be moved to the site collection (i.e. secondary) recycle bin.
This has it's own quota that can be set from central admin at the web application level (go to 'Application Management' -> 'Web Application General Settings').
We had an issue like this passed on to us (2nd/3rd line support) with the user claiming they had emptied their recycle bin but that their My Site was still full.
It turns out the client had a mapping between their users' My Sites and a folder on their desktops; to clear space the user had deleted some documents from this folder (using Windows Explorer) and when asked to empty her recycle bin had done so on her own computer rather than in SharePoint!

NEW YORK - If you're a little surprised to discover that alt-country star k.d. lang is coming to Broadway, so is lang.
"It is outside my comfort zone. It is something that I never thought I'd be doing," the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter says. "I just try to follow my heart and my muse and the opportunities that arise for me and what's inspiring me."
Lang has taken over from Fantasia Barrino as the second star vocalist in "After Midnight," a musical celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club nightclub in Harlem. Lang, blessed with androgynous looks and a sensuous voice, will end her run March 9.
"After Midnight" is a sort of candy sampler of some two dozen musical numbers that showcase dance, jazz or singing. Lang will be called on to sing "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Stormy Weather," "On the Sunny Side of the Street" and "Zaz Zuh Zaz."
"I imagine it's going to be quite a different place than Fantasia," she says, laughing. "I want to approach things from a naive point of view, from a reactionary, emotional point of view."
Lang, 52, has won four Grammys and is perhaps best known for her cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying," her interpretation of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and her hit song "Constant Craving." She also caused a stir in the 1980s when she posed on the cover of Vanity Fair in a barber's chair being shaved by supermodel Cindy Crawford.
Although musical theater was never one of her interests growing up, this self-styled "musical nomad" will now be working with Wynton Marsalis on Broadway with a 17-peice band. She even agreed to do the show before seeing it.
The Associated Press sat down with lang and asked her about this odd left turn and why she almost didn't take it.
Q: How did you get lured to Broadway?
A: My No. 1 attraction was the music and the original Duke Ellington arrangements. I mean, that's a no-brainer. I look at my life as a lifelong learning process of being a vocalist, and that's like going to one of the greatest schools. And working with a big band onstage? That's a wonderful, wonderful opportunity.
Q: Is it true you initially passed on this?
A: I tried. I did the first time they asked. I said, "No" because I'm kind of stuck in my ways. I do what I do. But then they came back to me and I had thought about it a lot and came to the conclusion that you can't turn it down.
Q: What worried you?
A: I was concerned that I had to act or that I had to perform in a way. To me, the most important thing is diving into the emotional narrative of the song. To me, that's everything. When they assured me that I could perform the songs the way I felt them and I didn't have to change to fit the show, that made a lot of sense to me.
Q: What did you think after seeing it?
A: I was like: "Oh, man. I do not fit in. I do not belong here. What ... did I get myself into?'
Q: Do you have a back story for your character showing up at the Cotton Club?
A: I kind of figured that I'm a misfit in society. I work up there. I don't have a lot of money. Maybe I know somebody in the band or maybe I have some ties to the people who are the patrons. But somehow I get onstage. I'm broke. I go after work and I get to sing with the band a few songs. But I really don't fit in.
Q: Do you think this might open a new door for you?
A: It may even shut a door (laughs). I may even retire after this. I don't know. I honestly have no idea.

The cynical half of the movie reviewer's brain: Would you look at that? They've gone and remade "Dangerous Minds," that Michelle Pfeiffer inner-city-high-school movie from 1995. With all the cliches intact, no less.
The earnest half of the movie reviewer's brain: Oh, stop it. "Freedom Writers" isn't a retread.
Cynical half: Of course, it is -- there's nothing here that wasn't in "The Blackboard Jungle" and "To Sir with Love" and "Stand and Deliver" and "Finding Forrester."
Earnest half: How can it be a retread when it's based on a real teacher, Erin Gruwell of Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, Calif., and her real students, and their real accomplishments?
Cynical half: Because Hollywood knows how to turn an inspirational story into boilerplate. The troubled, unreachable kids who come around in the last reel, the hidebound school bureaucracy, the doubts, the breakthroughs. The Top 40 soundtrack.
Earnest half: Feh. You forget that the young audience "Freedom Writers" is made for hasn't seen any of those other movies. More to the point, almost all films work from shopworn premises. It's the job of the cast and crew to pump them up with new life and meaning -- to make them matter all over again. And writer-director Richard LaGravenese and his actors do just that. The movie works.
Cynical half: All right, I'll agree the dialogue is unusually well-written, and that the young cast gets under the skin of their roles -- especially April Lee Hernandez, Mario, and Jason Finn as three worst-case gangbangers who pick up journals and start writing their way into the wider world.
Earnest half: Exactly. And the world they're starting from -- the post-Rodney King LA of the mid-'90s -- is believably depicted as a soul-killing war zone.
Cynical half: But what about Hilary Swank as Gruwell? She's just so . . . so . . .
Earnest half: White?
Cynical half: Yes.
Earnest half: And bouncy and idealistic and upper middle class and completely clueless about her students' lives. Refreshingly, "Freedom Writers" doesn't sugarcoat the teacher's own learning curve or its effect on her marriage to a handsome guy (Patrick Dempsey) who isn't as strong as she is. Gruwell's whiteness, her otherness, becomes irrelevant as soon as the students see she's not lying to them. They never quite let her off the hook, though, and in a weird, comical way that becomes a sign of respect. Swank starts as a Barbie doll and ends as a mother bear.
Cynical half: Imelda Staunton can't do much with her role: The mean old teacher who resists the rule-breaking newcomer.
Earnest half: She does seem like a vague version of Judi Dench in "Notes on a Scandal," doesn't she? All the adult roles are underwritten. It doesn't matter. "Freedom Writers" is about the abiding love affair between a gifted teacher and her students. Gruwell's job is to show how their struggles have precedent in other people's lives and in history. She gives them context and teaches them to express themselves within it.
Cynical half: Thus the Holocaust history lessons.
Earnest half: You've got it. Reading "The Diary of Anne Frank" and meeting death-camp survivors (who play themselves) gives the kids a perspective they've never had and an impetus to do something with it. Although I agree it's a little odd seeing Pat Carroll cast as Frank's protectress , Miep Gies, who did visit the school at the students' invitation.
Cynical half: And I agree the kids' individual triumphs seem satisfyingly hard-won. That scene where the one boy who hasn't spoken all year finally reads his journal is a killer.
Earnest half: You were crying. I saw it.
Cynical half: Problem with my contact lens.
Earnest half: You wear glasses. Just tell people to go see the movie already.
Cynical half: Go see the movie already.

Texas CrimeCast: Lawyers on opposite sides of death penalty case talk trials, juries, behind the scenes
Welcome to the Texas CrimeCast, a weekly podcast by the reporters of The Dallas Morning News. Listen to our new episode here or click the arrow above.
This week, host Jen Emily is joined by attorneys Juan Sanchez and Toby Shook to talk about their work on death penalty cases. How do you ask a jury to execute someone for a crime? How do you convince them not to?
Shook has sought the death penalty 21 times as a prosecutor, and Sanchez has represented defendants in five cases.
Sanchez and Shook talk about past cases: Remember the Texas 7, the prison escapees who killed Irving police officer Aubrey Hawkins? What about the former Kaufman County justice of the peace who killed the district attorney there, as well as his wife and another top prosecutor?
These are among the many death penalty cases Sanchez and Shook have worked on. Only once have they faced each other in court on a death penalty case.
Hear stories about what happens behind the scenes during trials and find out the answers to these questions:
Would you go witness an execution of someone you prosecuted or defended?
What do you tell your kids about your job?
How do prosecutors decide when to seek the death penalty?
And more.
Also, editorial writer Mike Hashimoto ends the show in our usual way with his latest "Hashing It Out" about Dallas County District Attorney Susan Hawk and whether the community should be asking for her to step down. Hawk is seeking inpatient mental health treatment for a third time since taking office 18 months ago.

The devastating market correction of 2008/2009 and the accompanying global economic recession have left many investors feeling skittish about stocks.
While some have stood by with a 'buy and hold' approach, many abandoned equities and flocked to fixed income investments, such as money market instruments and bonds.
According to a report by Barron's, in the United States, since the start of 2010, more than US$274 billion has flowed into bond funds, while net $35 billion has been redeemed from equity funds.
It's a natural human tendency to react to short term market fluctuations. But could investors be taking on new risks they are unaware of?

Joan Allen is getting older. It's not that her face - which, since Pleasantville, has been inseperable for me from the mental image of Reese Witherspoon-all-grown-up - has changed, so much that age is using the actress like a chalkboard. Joan Allen today looks like Joan Allen of ten years ago, with wrinkles scribbled on.
It's striking to see an actress in such an obviously advancing state of ... um ... maturity, take on back-to-back roles that deal with sexuality, as Allen has done with The Upside of Anger and, now, Sally Potter's Yes. Allen's presence as an erotic subject in Potter's film is a brave and powerful one; it's too bad the film neglects that presence for a linguistic gamble that, somewhat sadly, the actors don't really pull off.
Yes is a frustrating film; its cache of good ideas are nearly fully obscured by Potter's decision to compose the script in iambic pentameter (Shakespearean rhyming scheme), and, perhaps even more troubling, her apparent indicision over the way this prose is performed. Some of the actors acquit themselves better than others. I'll generously suggest that the romantic leads have been simply miscast.
It's ostensibly the story of a torrid love affair between a Lebanese doctor-turned-cook (Simon Abkarian), and the Belfast-born wife (Allen) of a politician (Sam Neill). She (Potter refuses to assign her leads first names, annoyingly) knows her husband is chronically unfaithful; she's not hurt so much as pissed off. She's lonely, she's depressed, and she wants revenge. So when the help approaches her at a party with the oldest poaching-a-married-lady line in the book, there are a lot of reasons for her to hand over her business card.
Potter presents this scene, and others, as a surveilance-cam waltz, as if to underscore (in not the most subtle of ways) the dance she's playing between form and content. Abkarian and Allen are surely erotic oil and water; their best scenes together are wordless, and they both excel at conveying the body language of lovers who are a little repulsed by one another's difference, and simultaneously more drawn to one another by that repulsion.
But the party's over as soon as either actor opens their mouth. Allen can't resist the sing-song possibilities of the prose; each time she concludes a couplet, she does so with exclamatory triumph. Abkarian fights against the rhyme, making it all the more cringeworthy when they do pop up. And these rhymes are often very bad rhymes. Examples: "Am I too real? Perhaps with me, you have to feel!" Shudder. Or, this one, meant as a cutting rejoinder but performed super earnestly: "So many lies. I guess that's what happens when love dies." Uggghhh.
The core of the film, involving an exchange of information between Allen's husband and goddaughter (the devastatingly good Samantha Leonidas), makes the two leads look especially bad. Neill and Leonidas give stunning, deeply felt, carefully interrogated interpretations of the prose; in comparison Allen and Abkarian come off like amateurs rehearsing for a community theater production of As You Like It. The lead actors never once feel like real people, and it's impossible to take them or their various predicaments seriously behind the distraction of the language.
That said, I don't think words exist to describe how good Sam Neill is in this picture. Every moment he is on screen elevates Yes to a state of compulsive watchability, to the point where it suddenly, temporarily transcends its formal holding pen to become a real movie. Leonidas, playing a sixteen-year-old budding tramp, is almost as good.
I can't even begin to conceive of why (or how) Potter concluded that the polar-opposite peformance styles of Neill/Leonidas and Allen/Abkarian belonged in the same picture. Neill's performance suggests that the iambic pentameter could have been much more than just a Brechtian gimmick, that it could have worked extremely well and Yes could have been a terrifically engaging film, if only the leads had either been better directed or simply been better cast. As it stands, it's a quizzical object, worth seeing as a curiosity for Potter fans (or Sam Neill superfans), but probably ultimately maddening for most audiences.

There are now more than 14,000 sex offenders living in North Carolina. That number is a tally of just those who are on the books with the state's sex offender registery.
Nationally, there are 570,000 registered offenders.
Even more troubling is that a U.S. Department of Justice funded research has revealed 16% of the offenders nationwide are beating the system by stealing identities to avoid being tracked. Some of the abusers are hiding from the law in plain sight. They are out working jobs their criminal records disqualifies them from. However, few people, including law enforcement agencies, know because they aren't aware of the tactic.
One month on the job, and Corporal Brian Henderson with the Guilford County Sex Offender Registry has met more sex offenders than he ever wanted to know.
"We do sweeps, we bring in 40-50 officers, we give them all about 10 files and say, 'go out and knock on these doors,' and in one morning we'll touch 700 sex offenders," said Corporal Henderson, commenting on the 700 sex offenders registered in Gulford County.
Regular compliance checks have kept a majority of the 14,000 North Carolina sex offenders on the books.
"There are victims for every one of these folks that I come out here for," said Corporal Henderson. "That's what I'm doing this for. To make sure there's not another victim."
A new study, paid for by the Department of Justice, reveals a startling statistic. One in six sex offenders is re-inventing himself.
What does that mean? Some sex offenders are using fake birthdates, stealing social security numbers and making up addresses to avoid being tracked.
Researchers estimate there are 92,000 sex offenders among us, changing their identity.
News 2's Faith Abubey called investigators and deputies in the Triad, and most said they'd never heard of "identity stealing sex offenders." The researchers say that's not surprising, considering how new this trend is. What's more problematic? They don't have the resources to stay on top of it.
The Department of Justice is now working with the researchers to find out if there's something they can do to stay a step ahead of sex offenders who change their identities.
Until then - they suggest we all get familiar with the online sex offender registry.
The researchers are working on breaking down the numbers state-by-state. When News 2 gets the North Carolina numbers, we'll let you know.

Author Bio
I grew up on a farm, and have lived in DC for the past ten years. I have allowed my creativity to atrophy in the years since I got my literature degree (just a BA), and up until recently I was living the life of quiet desperation that we all dread . . . up until I saw Neil Gaiman speak at George Mason U to accept an award, and he inspired me to stop sucking at my life, and instead maybe write something.
Strange to always think of yourself of a writer, and rarely write anything anymore. I must do something. So with a deep breath, and more than a little desperation, into the breach we go! I have an idea, so now? for the plodding and wonderful process of writing.

Re: WWF 2001 - The Monopolized Era
Straight off, Paul Heyman on commentary was captured perfectly. IMO, the very best colour analyst in WWF/WWE history. Ultra talented, and this was a perfect role for him.
Anyway, onto the stuff that really matters.
Most certainly knocked the opening promo out of the ballpark. Felt you kicked right into gear, coming hot off the heels of the big WrestleMania. It was always going to be tricky to measure what point Vince should address first; WCW or his new alliance with Austin. Even now, I'm on the fence as to what Vince should've remarked on first, but you measured it well, and segued nicely from the WCW talk and into the Austin alliance topic. Seems pretty clear that Vince and Austin wont be friends, but have aligned simply for their own personal gains. Now that dynamic jumps out as being interesting, and most certainly could allow plenty of tension between the boss and the champion.
This one certainly threw me. Triple H being the one to question Vince DOES make sense, perfect sense, I just didn't expect it. Sets up instantly the mouth watering prospect of a bad-ass (in his prime to boot) Triple H face turn, and a turnaround in the dated Austin - Triple H storied rivalry, with the face / heel balance switched. It would look likely that The Game is heading into the direction of a face turn, but where exactly will that leave a vengeful Rock in this equation??
A terrific promo to kick off a promising thread, with an immediate tease of a MAJOR face turn along with a major potential angle. Many places to go with it too, as Stephanie could find herself torn between family and husband in the long run, along with what could be an epic face Game vs. heel Austin feud, and it looks like it's going to be handled the correct way too, and not just forced upon us. Great opening (albeit a little too heavy on the use of 'bullshit'), although giving away Triple H vs. Undertaker for free the night after they had a memorable match at WrestleMania is questionable. That rematch is money.
Everytime I seen Regal utter 'Mista' I kept thinking Booker T, or the like. I get that you're trying to portray the accent, but I personally don't believe it works for Regal to pronounce it 'Mista'.
Big things in the pipeline for Rhyno IMO. The guy was an absolute beast upon his debut, and with Heyman shilling him to hell, week in, week out, he's bound to be going upward and onwards. Hoping he can make a huge impact, and build off this win.
Return match for Test on Smackdown sounds fun. Getting the match on Smackdown gives it a chance of getting near 10 minutes to do it's job, but I fully expect Guerrero to retain, and prosper with a long, fruitful title reign.
Makes sense too for Test to beat Eddie in the pre-cursor six man tag. Their match at that Mania was a fun undercard match, and it could well be a decent mid card feud for the next number of weeks if you decide to go in that direction. Hopefully Test continues his upward spiral too, as I fondly remember thinking he'd be the King of the Ring in 2001 and go on to big things. Think he lost in the first round to Edge
. Enough of the nostalgia though
Delighted that Angle/Benoit will be continuing on. Decent promo from Angle, playing off his typical annoying heel persona, and completely no selling Benoits crossface. Great, classic Angle, and the booking of the Submission match is cool too. Not as awesome as the Ultimate Submission match, but I do applaud you for not just copying the WWE playbook, whilst still staying true to the root of the angle, when it started out like this, as a battle of the two submissions. A truly mouth watering prospect for Backlash already.
Jericho and X-Pac had some decent matches (I think, if I remember right) around Autumn 2000, so it's pleasing to see a good match to carry the in ring portion of the show. The defence for Jericho was to be expected, but there was a lot of random, out of the blue title matches back in the day, coming out of nowhere like this. Glad you're sticking to that system, and not instantly turning to the more recent way of handling title matches. I cant see the X-Factor group going too far tbh, but I could be wrong of course.
Assuming Too Cool are on the outs?? Getting jobbed out big time to a less than 100% E&C came as a bit of a surprise. I'm not sure how much steam is left in the E&C / Dudley / Hardy triangle feud, as it does feel like WM 17 was closure. Those three teams though are by far and away the most bankable teams available, but something needs shaken up in the tag division to keep the three teams fresh if they are all remaining together. E&C vs. The Dudleys isn't appealing to me right now, but hopefully you can add some more spark to the rivalry.
Plenty of hype for Smackdown it seems, albeit with lesser matches being announced; but build up none the less. The role of Trish Stratus in the coming weeks and months will be interesting to keep an eye on, as she fell off the radar after WM 17 initially, doing very little for the coming months.
Please don't job out Raven. Raven = RATINGS
. He's a valuable asset, and hopefully you catch his potential, even if it is limited to the Hardcore division. Big crossroads for Big Show too, as he just seemed to aimlessly drift for months, nay, years at this time. A big potential talent, but where does he go??
Foreshadowing what's to come?? Triple H and Austin head to head just adds to the simmering tension brewing.
Rather disappointing that there has been so little mention of The Rock on the show. After the biggest main event in WrestleMania history, his name has barely been mentioned. I'm expecting a late appearance, but I'd expected to hear more from the commentary about him.
Surprised Triple H picked up the clean win, grabbing his heat back from the previous night. It's only step one though in the build for an epic rivalry between Triple H and the Austin / Vince alliance.
Vince referring to Austin as the 'new face' in professional wrestling. Wasn't that 1998?? Anyway, after you kicked the show off with a great promo, you've delivered again with a dynamite conclusion to a good show. Austin remained 100% bad-ass, but in a whole new light. As good as you wrote Austin, I was thrown a little by his attitude to Vince. Why would Vince suddenly allow himself to be talked to like that by Austin, after years of putting Austin through hell for that same attitude??
We definitely need more closure on what exactly made this arrangement happen between Vince and Austin, as it seems like Austin still despises the boss. For now though, I'm taking it that Austin has aligned with Vince to save himself more hassle, whilst Vince has aligned with Austin for??
Anyway, moving on for now, if Austin was dynamite, The Rock was ON FIRE. Super, super, super promo from The Rock, unfortunately cut short, but at the same time, cut short by an alarming WCW promo, that really took me by surprise. Didn't expect a WCW tease this early, but it looks like you're going all out for it. Big question that I'm sure many will ask, or be thinking … did The Rock know anything about it?? It certainly played to his advantage, as it served a chance to distract Vince and Austin, and then allowed him to gain a measure of revenge.
Simple, but effective Rock Bottom sends the message, loud and clear, and we have ourselves a sure fire Backlash main event set, with Rock and Austin looking to settle the score. Gimmick match please.
Excellent show to kick off with, setting the foundations for a promising thread, although we definitely need a clear, firm explanation for why exactly Vince and Austin are together.

Wyden voted against the Wall Street bailout and said he favors the federal government ending tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas. He also supports limiting taxes on Internet-based companies.
Huffman argued that these proposals are too small when the country faces double-digit unemployment and a terribly slow recovery. He said Wyden's great mistake was voting for the stimulus bill because those funds will never be returned to taxpayers.
At one point, Wyden was shown a television ad he supported that claimed Huffman defended the Wall Street bailout and believes in privatizing Social Security. When asked to comment on the negative ad, Wyden said it was the exception and not the rule of his campaign to run such an ad.
Huffman said the ad was full of lies and half-truths.

Former Russian prodigy tries to overcome injuries, psychological issues
For Elizaveta Tuktamisheva, this past season could be considered a turning point in her career. Indeed, the 17-year-old, who in 2011 achieved unexpected victories at both of her Grand Prix events and initiated a Russian "avalanche" in ladies figure skating, failed to qualify for the Olympic team.
The 2013 European bronze medalist and 2013 national champion had to face the challenges of a transition period, involving a variety of ailments and psychological issues, which greatly impacted her results. She began last season by winning a bronze at the 2013 Finlandia Trophy, and then finished fourth at both of her Grand Prix assignments and 10th at the Russian championships.
She sustained an ankle injury in March at the Russian Cup Final. The resulting tests showed she had torn a ligament. After a difficult recovery period, the skater resumed training.
