Quality Christmas & Holiday Wreaths and Trees in Massachusetts
Martin's Wreath Company has been in business for over 35 years starting way back when as a small wreath and Christmas tree stand. Over the years, we have gradually expanded our business to become one of Massachusetts' largest wholesale wreath and greenery distributors.
All of our quality wreaths, garland, kissing balls, etc. are made by our neighboring Canadian family. These items are handmade by skilled craftspeople in a town that derives much of its business solely on providing greenery for the holiday season.
Each year, dozens of tractor trailers full of wreaths and greens are unloaded at our Massachusetts holding lot to be distributed to our valued customers.
We sell out quickly so order soon!

There are 2 USB ports on the back of the Wii what do you think they will make to plug in there, webcam, additional storage, add-on units?

well, definitely not for the DS (they confirmed that would use wireless), camera: very possible, hot cakes *crosses fingers* would be nice. I would wonder though, if it would be licensed for Nintendo only, then why would they use such a common port and not something only they produce?
... but what do I know?...
Not currently accepting friend adds.
maybe it will be for a keyboard. they could have you use one of those instead of a mic for online play like for the GC.

If the PS3 can grill up some burgers I think the wii should be able to make hotcakes

This means you're: Not a fanboy
considering that the ps3 hasn't really shown anything to support the price tag or hype if it dooes have a grill I bet only the top or bottom actually grill unless you get the ultra edition for $2,000. But sony says its worth it you idiots, this is the latest grilling technology we put stuff in here noone will ever use because it's too damn hard to even unlock/discover the secrets of how it works. I mean come on we made betamax the superior videotape player(for those who don't know VHS won that battle with lower technical poweress, like the ps3/Wii battle huh).Originally Posted by Supermariomp3

Research Brief: VILIP-1 a Potential CSF Marker for AD?

Continued setbacks in Alzheimer's disease clinical trials have fueled a sense that candidate drugs have been tested in patients whose disease has already progressed too far. For a better shot at their goal, experts say, sponsors should give experimental compounds to barely impaired people on the verge of further decline. Cerebrospinal fluid levels of the two hallmark AD proteins—amyloid-β and tau—can help identify such individuals, and new work published in the March 6 Neurology suggests a third CSF marker may be coming up the ranks. Researchers led by David Holtzman at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, report that CSF levels of visinin-like protein-1 (VILIP-1)—alone or with Aβ42—can predict rates of cognitive decline in people with mild dementia as well as or better than CSF tau and tau/Aβ42.
VILIP-1 is a calcium-binding protein that gets released into cerebrospinal fluid from injured neurons (Laterza et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2008). It came up as a top hit in a high-throughput proteomic screen the WashU group conducted to identify potential CSF biomarkers (see ARF conference story). In a prior study, the researchers showed that high CSF concentration of VILIP-1 could distinguish AD patients from cognitively normal seniors and from people with other neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, both VILIP-1 and the VILIP-1/Aβ42 ratio predicted conversion to dementia (i.e., going from a Clinical Dementia Rating of 0 to 0.5) in the cognitively normal group over a two- to three-year follow-up (Tarawneh et al., 2011). However, beyond the binary outcomes of who did or did not develop cognitive impairment, "what you really want to know, as a clinician, is how fast somebody is getting worse, and if you can block that," Holtzman told ARF.
The 2011 paper did not follow up on those who became mildly impaired to see if VILIP-1 tracked with rates of further decline. This was the focus of the current paper. First author Rawan Tarawneh and colleagues analyzed 60 seniors who began the study with mild or very mild AD, that is, respective baseline CDR scores of 1 or 0.5, and looked at whether VILIP-1 or VILIP-1/Aβ42 could predict how quickly they worsened over the next two or three years.
For each biomarker, the participants fell into three groups determined by 33rd and 66th percentile values. In the CDR 0.5 and CDR 1 cohorts, as well as the combined group, those with CSF VILIP-1 or CSF VILIP-1/Aβ42 in the upper third declined more quickly on global cognitive measures than did participants in the lower two-thirds for each CSF marker. Moreover, high CSF VILIP-1 and VILIP-1/Aβ42 predicted rate of progression comparably, or somewhat better than, high tau or tau/Aβ42 ratios. "It's at least as good as tau as a marker of neurodegeneration," Holtzman said of VILIP-1. Holtzman and colleagues had reported earlier that high CSF tau/Aβ42 ratios, high tau levels, or low Aβ42 correlated with faster decline in people with mild dementia (CDR 0.5) (Snider et al., 2009).
VILIP-1 is not found in neurofibrillary tangles, though it does appear in dystrophic neurites near plaques and tangles. "Why would something be elevated that's not related to tangles?" Holtzman asked. "We know there is degeneration of synapses and neurons in AD. Maybe that's what CSF VILIP-1 is detecting."
The research on CSF VILIP-1 to date suggests that "if you are going to enroll people in trials, you would want to use this type of marker to segregate those most likely to decline quickly," Holtzman said.
He and his colleagues want to confirm the findings in larger cohorts with mild cognitive impairment or very mild dementia—perhaps in Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) samples and/or people with dominantly inherited AD. Ultimately, the scientists would like to collaborate with a company to see if CSF VILIP-1 goes down in response to an experimental AD treatment, Holtzman told ARF.—Esther Landhuis
Comments on News and Primary Papers
This is a thorough paper showing that CSF levels of VILIP-1 carry similar information as total tau. High CSF levels of the protein indicate intense neurodegeneration, which translates into rapid disease progression and cognitive decline. Whereas the information may be similar, it is important to have alternative biomarkers in the AD field. Much effort has lately been directed to biomarker standardization, and from that perspective, total tau assays may be difficult to standardize, given the many isoforms and modifications of the protein. With some luck VILIP-1 might be easier.View all comments by Henrik Zetterberg

Investing in your own individual retirement account should be started as early in life as possible in order to give compound interest the most time possible to work in your favor. You will need to choose which type of IRA you want to open, as well as the trustee who will handle your money. Once you determine how much you wish to invest, it is just a matter of completing the paperwork and getting started.
Decide if you want to open a Roth or traditional IRA. A traditional IRA allows you to take a tax deduction for eligible contributions, giving you an immediate tax break. You pay the taxes on the funds in a traditional IRA when you withdraw them, in addition to a 10 percent penalty if you are younger than age 59 1/2. A Roth IRA gives no immediate tax benefit, but withdrawals at retirement age are tax free.Step 2
Determine the trustee you wish to use for your IRA account. Most mutual fund companies offer IRA trustee services and will handle your IRA account. You can also choose a brokerage firm with a local office to open your account and avoid the need to conduct business through the mail or online.Step 3
Contact the institution of your choice and let it know that you wish to set up an IRA account. It will handle the paperwork to get the account started and collect your initial investment. If the account requires periodic automatic contributions, provide the trustee with the account information needed for the transfers. Choose the mutual funds where you wish to invest your funds.
Items you will need
- Funds to invest in an IRA
- Start an IRA account at a bank using a savings account until the balance grows sufficiently to let you invest in a mutual fund or other investment with a higher minimum. You can do a trustee-to-trustee transfer when you wish to move the investment. You may be able to start with no minimum investment as long as you commit to regular investments each month.
- Compare the expenses of different IRA accounts carefully. Some mutual funds historically have higher fees. Mutual fund fees are usually shown as a percentage of the investment, and the average is listed in the fund prospectus. Index funds tend to have lower expenses.

Question: What should I be drinking?
Answer: Water is the beverage of choice and apart from the last 50 years or so, that's all we drank! Alcohol is a toxin and goes straight to the fat stores, tea and coffee are both drugs which dehydrate and make you hungry, fruit juices are outrageously high in sugar as are soft drinks. A popular cola drink contains all the above and is not a healthy choice. Sports drinks are designed only for professional athletes such as marathon runners.

Did your ancestor sail on the Charles W. Morgan?
About the Crewlists of the Charles W. Morgan
The Charles W. Morgan completed 37 whaling voyages during which time over 1600 men lived and sailed aboard her. The following names of crew and officers have been compiled from customs documents kept by the National Archives; Records of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation. These documents include outgoing Crewlists, discharge certificates, crewlist certifications, and consular documents. Copies of these reside at the G. W. Blunt White Library. Unfortuantely not all the records of these voyages have been preserved. Voyages 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 37 for the years 1901-1906 and 1920 and 1921 are missing. Crew information for the 'missing' voyages was supplied from John Leavitt's book, "The Charles W. Morgan".
Transcription notes:
The process of transcribing historical documents has often been refered to an art as much as a science. Documents were kept by hand and handwriting then, as now, is often hard to read. In addition, spelling is not consistant. Often individuals had no idea how their own names were spelled and document keepers guessed. In addition the spelling of names has changed over time and what appears incorrect now would have been correct at the time the documents were official. Foreign names added additional complexities.
All possible attempts were made in the process of transcribing these crewlists to record the correct name. Guesses, however have been made. When available, additional documents were consulted including the crew lists transcribed by the New Bedford Public Library and those recorded in John Leavitt's book, "The Charles W. Morgan".

• Four teenagers with severe aplastic anemia, initially diagnosed and evaluated over a seven-year period at The Johns Hopkins Bone Marrow Transplant Unit, Baltimore, were residents of the same small town in South Carolina. Estimated annual incidence for that age group in the town, based on the four cases, was 100 times the expected rate. All four of the teenagers had attended one of two junior high schools. An exploratory survey of all high-school students, comparing risk factors of those who had attended the "affected" junior high school with those who had attended the "unaffected" junior high school, showed no associations with exposure to glue, paint or varnishes, pesticides, history of hepatitis or infectious mononucleosis, or use of chloramphenicol or other suspected drugs. Weak associations were found between the affected junior high school and employment in the textile industry and in agriculture (specifically peach orchards).

Sarah Palien?
Following Sarah Palin's emergence on the national stage, the blogosphere lit up with reports that Governor Palin does not actually hail from Wasilla, Alaska but from a planet known as Wazeela.
The tiny planet, which is located some 37,000 miles due east from the Sun, is known to be rich with fossil fuels that lie beneath snow-capped peaks.
Internet reports also cited the particularly short 5-month gestation period of Wazeela females as proof that Palin was, in fact, a Palien.

Michael Viegas got on a roll midway through the second quarter and he took his Monsignor Farrell teammates along for the ride.
The sophomore running back scored three touchdowns during an eight-minute span of the second quarter and later added an 87-yard touchdown run late in the game as Farrell improved to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in CHSFL play with a dominant 26-0 victory over visiting Xaverian Saturday night in Oakwood.
Neither squad could move the ball in the first quarter, and Viegas lost six yards on his first two carries of the second stanza.
Then the fireworks began.
Viegas hauled in a 6-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jake Barbaccia to break the scoreless tie, and two minutes later he took the handoff from his QB, stopped at the line of scrimmage, made a sharp left and shot down the left sideline for a 74-yard touchdown run that made it 13-0 Lions.
On the ensuing kickoff the Clippers watched the ball roll along the turf until Farrell's Kevin Cormican fell on the ball.
Viegas took the ball 2 yards up the gut, and on the next handoff he shot through the hole and went 24 yards into the end zone and just like that the Lions had turned a defensive battle into a 20-0 game into halftime.
Then the Farrell defense really took command.
The Lions held Xaverian to 12 total yards in the third quarter and the defense stopped the Clippers early in the fourth on a second-and-1 situation inside the 5-yard line led by lineman Joe Colucci.
Viegas put the contest away with five minutes remaining when he topped off his four-touchdown, 252-yard night with an 87-yard touchdown run.
Viegas finished with 298 total yards and the Lions defense surrendered just 137 yards to the Clippers who entered the game with a 2-0 league record.
NOTES: Colucci finished with three sacks on the night and was the player mainly responsible for containing Xaverian quarterback Greg Rando.

Source says mayweather standing firm on demand for more money
"It's not just the blood testing now. Floyd has done double the buys as Pacquiao, even against the same opponents, so Floyd is saying to himself, 'Why should I do 50/50?' The fans are going to turn on Floyd," remarked a reliable source with behind-the-scenes knowledge of contract negotiations. Of course, it should come as no surprise that Mayweather is looking at the numbers and having second thoughts about the 50/50 purse split that was originally agreed upon prior to negotiations falling through over the blood testing issues. After all, prior to his bout with Shane Mosley, Mayweather made it clear that if the fight did big pay-per-view numbers, the original financial terms would have to be reassessed. Mayweather's May 1 bout with Mosley did roughly 1.4 million pay-per-view buys, nearly double the number of buys that Pacquiao's bout with Joshua Clottey did in March.
Now, the latest rumors regarding negotiations are that Mayweather is indeed standing firm on his demands for more money. Although his actions fall in line with what he said prior to his showdown with Mosley, the timing of the revelation certainly looks bad in the eyes of many fans, especially considering that Pacquiao has now agreed to a 14-day cutoff for blood testing. Combine that with the fact that USADA blood testing procedures stopped 18 days prior to Mayweather vs. Mosley and it certainly looks like Mayweather is giving fans a reason to turn on him. So I want to know from any Mayweather fans out there, have you turned on Floyd due to his new demands for more money? Pacquiao fans need not reply as I'm pretty sure of where you stand on the subject, but what say you Mayweather fans? Is the bigger issue the blood or the money?
now its quite clear that floyd needs money...not the cleaner sport...or another excuses maybe>?...what a joke

If your a bigger draw you deserve more money. It doesn't look bad if you understand the business.

Floyd fans won't turn on him for that...........Pac fans want to tell everyone that Pac is a bigger draw than Mayweather..........based on what?????? Out of 3 tries with the same opponents he hasn't outdrawn Mayweather once........Mayweather outdrew Pac vs Cotto with SSM as B side....Cotto is a far bigger draw than Shane......otherwise why would his last PPV have been with Cotto......??? Cotto vs Marg = PPV, SSM vs Marg = no PPV.....and you would have to go back years before the Cotto fight to the previous SSM PPV.........he was on ESPN for years before Cotto fight...........these are just facts.....they cannot be refuted.......
He has the numbers to back up his claim for a bigger share of the pie.....i would view camp Pacquaio insistence on a 50/50 split as hard headed..........and ultimately if they don't budge from a 50% share i would view it as them not wanting the fight..........they are well aware that they are no longer negotiationg from a position of power...........this is why they keep running their mouths in the media and also why Pac is willing to come to 14 days.........the same 14 days his fans claimed was too close to the fight and unacceptable........well Pac has done a backflip and all his fans have followed.........14 days is now miraculously ok........
The bottom line is this...........Pac turned down a 50/50 split, a 14 day cut-off, a 10 million dollar penalty, 8oz gloves and a standard ring to fight Floyd in March......and now he is willing to take that same deal????? That right there should tell you who has the upper hand in negotiations........they got outflanked and will now have to accept less money and possibly a shorter or no cut-off for OST..........

Floyd is obviously the bigger draw
Nobody can argue that Pacquiao is a bigger draw than Floyd

Hmm, your message dated 3 September just arrived here.
Anyway, you'd have to keep the secret key in a key ring similar to the
secret key ring used for public key crypto. That's another file that
you have to be sure to not lose. Philip Zimmermann once designed a
scheme like that for PGP, but it was never implemented because it
wasn't important enough. The issue back then was that computers were
slow enough that public key decryption took a long time (over a minute
on the original 4.77 MHz PC/XT). So the idea was that you'd send
someone a public-key encrypted message and use it to establish a
persistent secret key for future traffic. When computers got faster,
it became more convenient to just use public-key all the time.
The usual use of symmetric (passphrase-based) crypto in PGP and GnuPG
is to be able to encrypt a file so that you can decrypt it later
without needing any additional info like keyring files. For example,
you can encrypt a file with a passphrase and send or store it
somewhere, without having to store a keyring along with it.

There is some sense to the notion that symmetric crypto is less
vulnerable to unforeseen future theoretical breakthroughs than public
key. Of course, "less vulnerable" doesn't mean "invulnerable".
Nobody can predict unforeseen future breakthroughs. That's why
they're called unforeseen.
The speed difference really isn't an issue. Remember that GPG's
public key implementation, as is normal, just uses a public key to
encrypt a temporary secret key, then uses the secret key to encrypt
the file. So using public key adds the overhead of just one public
key operation, a small fraction of a second on today's PC's.

I was upset when I received the package because 3 of the 4 bottles were open and some of the sweetener had came out in the zipper bag they were in. One bottle that was not in the plastic bag was fine it wasn't open. The product itself was fine.

The most conspicuous defect in the present accepted methods for the management of peptic ulcer is the lack of any dependable means of establishing that the lesion is healed. The interval between the onset of symptomatic relief, which is usually effected within a few days after the institution of medical treatment, and the complete healing of the ulcer undoubtedly varies greatly, and the time at which the latter takes place in individual cases cannot be established by any known procedure. Besides enabling one to answer the patient's persistent question "Is my ulcer healed," such a procedure, if it could be brought to light, would result in other advantages. By its employment in a sufficiently large number of controlled cases, information might be gathered as to the relative effectiveness of the widely varying methods of treatment now in vogue, thus ending many an argument. The patient would be benefited more directly

Quick! Name one thing you know about the Crimean War! Nothing? Florence Nightingale maybe?
Brief history lesson: The Crimean War was fought between Russia and an alliance of France and England over the declining Ottoman Empire in what is now part of the Ukraine. This war pre-dates World War I, and is often considered as the first modern war. It is also famous for Florence Nightingale who drastically improved nursing practices while caring for wounded British soldiers.
Sounds exciting, right? Ok, maybe not the most promising backdrop for a YA book, but In the Shadow of the Lamp has enough to keep you turning pages. Molly has been framed for theft and fired from her job as a parlor maid at a fancy London home. She decides to sneak her way onto a ship headed east when she hears that Miss Nightingale is looking for nurses. Even though she doesn't have any training, Molly is headstrong and is willing to work hard. She is found out by Miss Nightingale, but her hard work and natural inclinations at nursing and caring for people proves her worthy. In fact, Molly's abilities are even a bit magical. The magical elements aren't played up too much and Molly is a likeable character as she struggles with defining her future, both professionally and personally. Whether during the Crimean War or now, trying to figure your way in the world is a timeless endeavor.
Join us on Sunday at Books Plus to discuss Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed at 2:00 p.m.
This memoir/adventure book recalls Cheryl's odyssey on the longest and most difficult of North America's long-distance hiking trails. With no experience and little planning, she encounters immense heat, rattlers, bears, cliffs, and raging snowstorms. But her journey is internal as well as external. Shortly before leaving her mother died and her marriage broke apart. This book describes what she learned about hiking, nature, and particularly herself during this journey.

I read a lot of narrative non-fiction - historical, microhistory, natural sciences, travel, and environmental. I read these to be better informed, but also for pleasure so my ultimate test for a narrative non-fiction book is whether it would have made a better magazine article. I hate finishing something that I think was interesting, but could have been boiled down into a 20 page magazine article with the same impact. I've recently read two non-fiction books passed the magazine article test and then some.
The Big Thirst: The Marvels, Mysteries & Madness Shaping the New Era of Water by Charles Fishman isn't about how to make changes in your lifestyle with regards to water conservation. It isn't a how-to book for urban or rural planners. It is a book that will challenge what you think you know about water from the big picture including where it comes from and what do we really mean by "clean". This book will also identify our emotional connection with water and will put those assumptions to the test. Near the end of the book, an economist presents a model for future water use that makes sense for both dry places like Las Vegas and Australia should also be considered for wetter places like Atlanta and even Bloomington. There are pages and pages of research, calculations and notes at the end, but the book was captivating, accessible and provides much food for thought.
The Edgar Awards were announced last week and because I am not normally a mystery reader, I usually only give a cursory glance at the winners. But this year, not only are there several winners and nominees that are pretty high on my to-read list, but I've even read one of the winners.
The Mystery Writers of America present the Edgar Award to the best mystery books every year in a few different categories. This year there looks like many good choices. Who knows, maybe I'll be a mystery reader yet! Check out the entire list of winners and nominees at the Edgar Award website.
Best Novel: Live by Night by Dennis Lehane
Best First Novel: The Expats by Chris Pavone
Best Paperback Original: The Last Policeman: A Novel by Ben H. Winters
Best Fact Crime: Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China by Paul French
Best Juvenile: The Quick Fix by Jack D. Ferraiolo
Best Young Adult: Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
Warning: this book contains Serious Issues. You've also been warned that there aren't any angels, zombies, vampires, demons, or changelings. No one has supernatural superhero powers. It isn't set in the future and there has not been an apocalypse. Still interested? Yes! I loved this. Shine by Lauren Myracle is a realistic, gritty and powerful coming of age story that is raw and emotional but also completely worthwhile.
After Cat's friend Patrick is brutally assaulted, marked with a gay slur, and left for dead at a gas station in their hometown of Black Creek, NC she decides to figure out who could have done something so horrible. The sheriff is investigating, but seems sure that it was outsiders - just someone passing through. At face value, this book is a mystery. Cat sets out to interview people who were with Patrick the night of the attack to establish a timeline and she tries to determine motive. Patrick was friends with many people in town who were also uncomfortable to some degree with his homosexuality.
But really the heart of this book isn't so much figuring out who did it, but how the characters come to terms with the resolution. Cat also has to face her own demons in this process. I liked that she wasn't a superhero, but a girl who got kind of messed up and is really trying to do the right thing.
Despite being short, Etienne St. Clair not only has amazing hair and slightly crooked-cute bottom teeth, but also is a perfect combination of French maturity and American goofiness - with a British accent! Does it get any better? Anna doesn't think so. But it could get worse. St. Clair (as everyone calls him) is taken.
Anna and the French Kiss, a recent Rosie Award nominee, begins with Anna's move for her senior year in high school from Atlanta to Paris. Anna's dad thinks it would be a good experience for her to attend the School for Americans in Paris and pulls some strings to get her into this exclusive school. It is tricky at first, because the school is small and Anna is the only new student (aaaand doesn't speak any French). Despite feeling homesick for her best friend, a new romance from her old job at the movie theater, and her little brother all back in Atlanta, Anna makes friends with her neighbor in the dormitory and starts hanging out with her and St. Clair's circle of friends.
The Oxford English Dictionary is the premier dictionary of the English language. It is famous for its easy-to-understand definitions and word etymology, which strives to record the earliest known usage. The seemingly simple verbs set, make and put vie with each other for the longest entries - over 60,000 words each to describe all of the uses and senses!
The current editor of the OED, as it is commonly known, is set to retire later this year. John Simpson was briefly interviewed on Morning Edition on NPR yesterday. What makes his position newsworthy is that he is only the seventh editor of the dictionary since the project's beginning in 1879 and has been working in this high profile position of the world's most famous dictionary for more than 35 years.
In addition to some specialized copies of the Oxford dictionaries for foreign languages and picture dictionaries, MCPL owns a compact version of the Oxford English Dictionary. The print is so tiny, you need a zoom text reading machine (which MCPL also owns!) to really read any parts of this mammoth book.
Today is Shakespeare's birthday and to celebrate a Goodreads contributer created a great infographic to help you select your next read. A comedy? A tragedy? MCPL has works by Shakespeare, books to help you get through the plays and of course biographies. One of the best biographies is Stephen Greenblatt's Will in the World. Shakespeare expert and Harvard historian, Greenblatt does an excellent job of integrating a basic biography with the sights, sounds and feel of Elizabethan England. This book is dense with detail, but also entirely readable is a great choice for both self professed Shakespeare know-it-alls and newcomers alike.
Seeing as it is a classics sort of day, I thought I would also link to the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. This fictional video blog chronicles the modern day Lizzie Bennet, her sisters Lydia and Jane, and her best friend Charlotte Wu as they navigate between the pressure of their parents and potential boyfriends including the new-to-the-neighborhood Bing Lee.
The Pulitzer Prize is an annual awards given to excellence in newspaper and online journalism, literature, and musical composition and are administered by Columbia University in New York City. The 2013 awards were announced yesterday. For books, the following awards were given.
Fiction - The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson
Ambitious and inventive, this novel is set in an orphanage in North Korea. Protagonist Pak Jun Do is forced to become a fighting tunnel expert and a kidnapper before he takes his fate into his own hands. Johnson is able to tell the tale of touching humanity set within the backdrop of a brutal regime.
Roger Ebert, film critic extraordinaire and Pulitzer Prize winner, died last week after a battle with cancer. Immediately following his death, there were lots of quotes circulating online from Ebert which reminded me what a great writer he was. In writing about movies, Ebert was able often able to put his finger on the pulse of real life human behavior and articulate the human condition - both the happy and the sad. I forgot how funny he was, and his reviews are a joy to read even if you disagree on the rating.
Those interested in starting with the basics, check out his Movie Yearbooks - complete with movie reviews, essays, tributes, journal entries, and new additions to his popular Movie Glossary. If you are looking for critiques that might lead you to viewing of really good movies, try The Great Movie series. However, some of Ebert's best writing was in critiquing bad movies. If you aren't looking for movie suggestions, but just some hilarious examples of his writing check out Your Movie Sucks.

Increasing globalization has led to new and emerging transnational threats to U.S. and international security. Accordingly, U.S. foreign policy approaches increasingly rely on informed decision-making. Recognizing the interplay across policymakers, government officials, defense actors, and international organizations is instrumental to understanding of how transnational threats are addressed by way of security strategies and foreign policy tactics. Our scholarly expertise covers a vast range of research that includes congressional relations and national security strategy development, negotiations and peace processes on the frontlines of conflict, and civil-military relationships in defense policy development.

Twenty-two trees on the Williams Boulevard median in Kenner that were in the way of a road construction project were cut down this week. City officials investigated ways to move the trees but decided it would be too costly and might not be successful.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is adding turning lanes at 34th and 36th Streets on Williams Boulevard, according to Bambi Hall, DOTD spokeswoman.
Work started Monday and will be finished by the end of October, weather permitting, Hall said. Intermittent lane closures and delays can be expected through the project. Barriere Construction Co. has the $467,672 contract to do the work.
The oaks, palms and crepe myrtles were cut down on Monday and Tuesday because they were in the path of the project, Hall said.
Kenner Chief Administrative Officer Mike Quigley said city officials were very concerned about the trees.
The city's landscape architect and the Tree Board, a group of seven Kenner residents, researched trying to transplant the trees elsewhere, Quigley said. They decided the cost was prohibitive because the move might not be successful.
"The cost to salvage and relocate these trees was very costly," Quigley said, "with no guarantee that the trees would survive the transplant."

Kellar, we are part of the problem, because we like to hire cheap labor such as gardeners, nannies to look after our children, cooks, house-cleaning ladies and low-skilled factory jobs.
I am a proud American citizen, and I can tell you for a fact it has nothing to do with being a proud racist. You and your supporters belong to an era long gone.

There are plenty of things we know that the Oregon Ducks and Auburn Tigers have in common; they both have explosive offenses that make a habit of hanging 50 on their opponents. They both have dynamic second-year head coaches (Chip Kelly for the Ducks and Gene Chizik for the Tigers), and they both have underrated defenses aching to steal the show in Glendale.
They both also are on a mission to prove that they will be the power-that-is in their respective conferences for the foreseeable future.
However, there are other, less visible similarities between these two schools. While Auburn and Oregon have never met on the football field (to my knowledge, and if I'm wrong, please correct me), they share quite a few things in common. Five, in particular, stand out to me.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm sure it wasn't deliberate but you must admit that the heading to Richard Clatworthy's letter on page 4 of the Guardian did not reflect his views!
The issue of the setts is clearly contentious. If one looks at it objectively one hopes that the cabinet of 10 have consulted widely and taken into account a range of views and presumably their decision is therefore well informed.
It would be helpful if their justification was thoroughly explained and not obscured by references to overall strategy. There is bound to be some unease re the consultation process and the extent of objections to the setts.
Yours sincerely
John Stoney
