Only a New York City bohemian mom would take her 10-year-old to an opera about Charles Manson. And perhaps only Julia Stiles would have used the opportunity to apply for a job. "She wrote us a letter in crayon that said, 'If you have any parts for kids, let me know,' " recalls Bob McGrath, director of Manhattan's avant-garde Ridge Theater company, where Stiles soon became a regular onstage. "She was more mature than we were," says McGrath, 45. "We would forget we were dealing with a kid."
Stiles, now 19, is still wowing her elders–and winning plenty of admirers her own age. Save the Last Dance, starring Stiles as a sheltered ballerina who falls for a black hip-hop dancer, topped the box office during its first two weeks. And in State and Main she plays a ruthless teen who seduces a movie star (Alec Baldwin). Stiles's appeal? "She radiates intelligence," says Dance producer David Madden. Adds Baldwin: "All the smart girls out there want a girl they can call their own."
Coworkers describe her attitude as "mature" and "serious"–—but Stiles begs to differ. "I'm a lot goofier than it would seem onscreen," she insisted in a PEOPLE.com interview. As a freshman at Columbia University in New York City, though, she has taken on some added responsibility. "I've made a lot of good friends, and living in the dorm is really cool," says Stiles, who is considering majoring in English or Latin American history. But juggling classes with her Hollywood duties, she admits, is "really, really hard." While she filmed her current movies during a year off, after graduating from Manhattan's Professional Children's School in 1999, she now often has to race from classes to interviews and events like this month's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Still, "in our family, we always thought of school as the most important thing you can do," says her mother, Judith, 49. "Julia really wanted to go."
Stiles's upbringing was decidedly unconventional. Judith, a ceramist, designs lamps, tiles and vases in the family's downtown Manhattan loft; father John, 54, oversees the pottery business but took a sabbatical this year to teach second grade in Harlem. They encourage Julia and siblings Jane, 10, and Johnny, 8, in academic, artistic and activist pursuits. At 6, says her mother, Julia "wrote a letter to Mayor Koch on how to solve the garbage problem in New York."
Stiles's theater work earned her an agent, and at 15 she landed a movie role as Harrison Ford's daughter in 1997's The Devil's Own. Meanwhile she and Ridge Theater director McGrath co-wrote a screenplay about a girl whose grandfather suffers from Alzheimer's that won admission to a prestigious Sundance workshop. "We got a lot of great feedback, but I haven't been able to go back to it," Stiles says. "I definitely want to continue writing."
Roles in the 1997 TV movie Before Women Had Wings and the '99 miniseries The '60s helped make her a hot Hollywood property–and leading lady of a spate of modernized Shakespeare movies, including '99's 10 Things I Hate About You (a retelling of The Taming of the Shrew), last year's hipster Hamlet and O, a prep-school version of Othello due this spring.
Stiles, who had a yearlong romance with 10 Things costar Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 19, lets off steam playing soccer in a league in The Bronx and has recently been dating her brother's soccer coach. The weekend footwork has paid off: A stand-in performed some of the ballet stunts in Dance, but "when [Stiles] saw the hip-hop double," says producer Madden, "she said, 'I am going to do it myself.'" She did–and the experience shows. "Look, it's Julia Stiles!" a fan shrieked at a Sundance party last week, spotting Stiles boogying to a Brand Nubian cut. "She really can dance!"

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS -- The school district's Lay Facilities Committee will not take a stand on artificial turf for the high school football field.
Sam Bell, chair of the Sustainability sub-committee, spoke out against the proposed artificial turf during the March 20 meeting at Oxford Elementary School. He objected to the turf for several reasons, including the timing of the project.
"It would be very stupid to do it now, before we start construction there. There is no guarantee we will not have to park a large crane on the new football field," Bell said.
He also objected to the new turf because of the pesticides that would be used to clean it. Use of pesticides on a field used by children is illegal in Cleveland Heights, he said.
Improvements to the athletic facilities are part of the proposed $180 million-$200 million master plan the committee has been charged with developing. The first part of the plan includes improvements to Cleveland Heights High School and the remaining middle schools. Money for the project would come from a bond issue to be placed on the November ballot.
However, several members of the facilities committee said they did not have enough information about the artificial turf to vote on such a stance.
Patrick Mullen, chair of the LFC, said the artificial turf will not be a guaranteed part of the project, but was included because it is the most expensive option.
"There is no money to put down turf now," he said.
The district sent out a press release in March to announce fundraising would begin for the project. Mullen explained that was to begin application for an NFL grant, but no funding would be available for at least a year.
He did agree the committee should make a statement about "embracing sustainability" as an important aspect of the project.
"Maybe the message we can give the board is there are people who are watching, and there should be caution before undertaking the project," Mullen said.
Communications Director Angee Shaker confirmed there is no funding available now for any improvements to the field, whether grass or artificial.
"More importantly, we agree with the committee that it would make no sense to move forward on such a project independent of the overarching facilities plan for the high school campus, and the district as a whole," she said. "There are currently no intentions to make decisions on the future of the high school field."
Shaker said the current field is extremely expensive to maintain but can only be used six times a year, for home football games only.
"Lowering costs and increasing access to the field should drive those future conversations," she said.
The next meeting of the facilities committee is scheduled for April 10 at Wiley Middle School, when Regency Construction is expected to discuss specific cost estimates for scenario 2B, which would keep open Monticello and Roxboro middle schools, and Boulevard, Canterbury, Oxford, Roxboro, and either Wiley or Gearity as elementary schools. Four elementary schools would be closed.
The committee also asked Regency to prepare estimates on the cost of keeping all the elementary schools open, as a comparison.

FAU's Frontiers in Science Fall Lecture Series Presents 'The Future of Spacetime: The Uncertain Role of Einstein's Deepest Insight in 21 st Century Physics'
BOCA RATON , FL (November 14, 2008) – Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science will conclude its 2008 Fall Frontiers in Science public lecture series with a presentation by Dr. Christopher Beetle, assistant professor of physics in the College's department of physics. Beetle will discuss "The Future of Spacetime: The Uncertain Role of Einstein's Deepest Insight in 21 st Century Physics." The lecture will take place on Friday, November 21 at 3:30 p.m. in FAU's General Classroom North building, Room 101, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus.
In his presentation, Beetle will focus on the question about concerns of the proper role of time in fundamental theories of physics. He will try to clarify why there is a deep-rooted tension between quantum theory and general relativity and why it matters in the different roles of time in the two theories.
This lecture is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and supported by FAU's Lifelong Learning Society Endowed Professorship.
The reception that follows the program is made possible by the Warren Lloyd Holtzman Seed Grant, a component of the Community Foundation of the New River Valley.

on November 7, 2012 - 6:16 AM
In the Village of Medina's re-energized business district, just west of the second widest point on the Erie Canal, there are few vacancies among the 19th and early 20th century Medina sandstone and brick buildings that occupy several blocks of Main Street.
Renovation projects of a long-shuttered, Civil War-era opera house and a 1930s movie theater are also in the works.
Medina is capitalizing on its historic downtown architecture under the leadership of a mayor who preaches the benefits of preservation and leads by example.
"Medina stands apart as a community that really has had a lot of success with revitalization of the business district, and I think it's evident driving or walking through," said Mayor Andrew Meier.
"It's something you don't see a whole lot of around Western New York, and New York State at large. There has been a long ethic of commitment to preservation here, and in the last five years the village really seems to have taken off."
Meier, a 33-year-old Medina native, is playing a big role in tapping into the village's history by taking on a $1.5 million, 15,000-square-feet redevelopment project.
The Shirt Factory Cafe he operates is in a building that began as a hotel in 1876 and was converted into a shirt factory in 1918 for high-end customers. Meier bought the tax-foreclosed building for $20,000 in 2005, a year after the factory relocated and not long after he graduated from Syracuse University Law School.
The cafe, with its tall ceilings and comfortable setting, has become a popular gathering spot. Maier's law office is on the second floor, with stunning Douglas fir wainscoting. Two lofts are being completed this week, with nine boutique hotel rooms in the works.
Outside, the exposed brick and big steel beams that once enclosed the building's boiler have been incorporated into an outdoor lounge and theater in the round.
"All the patina was here, all the imperfections on the walls," Meier said. "People grind their fingers down to the bone to get finished looks like this."
Meier is one of a number of modern-day trailblazers in Medina.
Avanti Pizza & Grill, which purchased a corner building several years ago to rehab into a pizza shop and Italian restaurant, was among the first.
"That was one of the tipping-point projects for the downtown business district," Meier said. "It was a huge infusion of capital, and a signal for the business district that this is a place worth investing in."
Medina has a cluster of manufacturers that employ from 50 to 700 people, which helped the village overcome the losses of its two biggest employers – first, H.J. Heinz Co., which departed in the 1960s, and then Fisher-Price, which left in the 1990s.
Downtown's rebirth can be seen in Laura Gardner's open and airy A Lilly & a Sparrow clothing and accessories store, outfitted with new fixtures, fans and a refinished wooden floor in what was previously an unadorned real estate office.
"I have a very successful business, and I am so happy at how Medina is doing," said Gardner, who grew up there.
Cindy Robinson discovered a beautiful tin ceiling under a dropped ceiling when remodeling the space that now houses the English Rose Tea Shoppe.
Several years earlier, she rehabbed a storefront with tiled and wooden floors now operating under different ownership as Reigle's Market on Main.
"I think it's important to bring the buildings back to how they used to look, because, honestly, that's what people are looking for," said Robinson, who also is chairwoman of the Medina Business Association. Her husband, Jim, practices veterinary medicine in an 1860s farmhouse.
The variety of newer businesses and community fixtures – which include Della's Chocolates, Case-Nic Cookies, the Book Shoppe, Rosenkrans Gift Shop & Pharmacy, Curvin's News & Smoke Shop and Rock Paper Salon – give Medina its vibrant mix of retail destinations.
One of the newest is Paper Boys, an office supply store now housed in a 1908 red sandstone building. Fred Thurston, an architect from South Dakota, whose wife, Sherry, is from Medina, was introduced to the building while attending a field session in the village during the National Preservation Conference in October 2011.
Jason Wilson, director of operations at Preservation Buffalo Niagara, the host organization for the conference, praised Medina for its accomplishments.
"Medina is an excellent example of a small community reusing their historic assets and having that contribute to the revitalization of their downtown core," Wilson said.
Meier said downtown's impact also is changing people's attitudes and perceptions about the community beyond the business district.
Mike Zambito, 30, is representative of young people who grew up in Medina, left for several years and returned to sink their roots.
After graduating the Culinary Institute of America, Zambito opened Zambristo, a fine-dining establishment that filled a downtown void. The French-trained chef with an Italian family background said he was surprised by how well the restaurant was received.
"We have a busy restaurant. We're full most nights and days," Zambito said.
A long-term project is Bent's Opera House, which was named on Preservation League of New York State's Seven to Save list earlier this year for threatened historic resources.
The 1864 Medina sandstone building – which may not have actually been an opera house – was last used in the 1950s by a men's fraternal organization. Community members envision a $4 million restoration, in stages, to turn the three-story building into a community hall for special events.
There also are plans to create a multi-use venue in the former New Diana Theatre, which was opened by Warner Brothers in 1938 and later owned by Dipson Theatres before being repurposed as a restaurant and nightclub.
In recent years, a new roof, plumbing, sound system and lounge area in the former lobby have been installed.
A grand opening is planned for December, said Joseph Cardone, the Orleans County district attorney, whose father, Vincent Cardone, owns the building.
The theater, which once had 600 seats, is now set up for tables and chairs, but screening second-run films is part of the planned entertainment mix. The Diana Lounge, an upscale cocktail bar, is expected to be open on a daily basis.
There's a real tangible momentum in Medina right now, and all signs are that it's continuing," Meier said. "There's always new interest by people inside the community, and outside, who see what's happening and want to be a part of it."

The 10 Best Gay Beaches in The World—Have You Been?
Pride season came and went; the 4th of July fireworks show is but a haze; and Labor Day is just a couple of weeks away. Can summer 2011 really be coming to a close? Say it ain't so!
Farmer's tan be damned—there's plenty of time to head to the nearest body of water, strip down to your skimpy swimsuit and soak up the sun. (and let's not forget catching some glimpses of topless hotties.)
GayCities has compiled a list of the 10 best beaches for gays and lesbians to mingle and soak up some rays. (Whatever else you do there is your business.)
Have we omitted your favorite sandy oasis? Let us know in the comments.
UP FIRST: Pines Beach in Fire Island
Small Correction: There is no "Farme de Amoedo beach" in Rio de Janeiro. Rua Farme de Amoedo is a STREET that is the "gay street" in the Ipanema neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. At the end of this street (where it meets the beach) is Ipanema beach. This particular area of the beach is between Posto 8 and 9 and is the "gay area" of Ipanema beach – and is also identified with numerous gay flags. Again Farme de Amoedo is the street name… and Ipanema is the beach name.
Nearby and around the corner, is Copacabana beach, another very long beach. This is essentially where the gay pride parade takes place each year. In front of the Copacabana Palace hotel in Copacabana is the "gay area" of Copacabana beach. Copacabana beach is also where you go to watch the amazing fireworks at New Years. Imagine a million or more people on the beach, most of them wearing white.
I wish you would put a list on the front page. It's so fucking tedious to click a dozen or more links just to know what the results are.
Until I got to the 6th picture, I was starting to wonder if there was an anti-trunks rule in these beaches. Oh, and the sand sculpture in the 2nd pic is cool, not sure about the guy who's on all fours and sticking out his ass though.
I've been to 5. After a while, they all look the same. Puerto Vallarta is my favorite though, but there are too many people selling junk on the beach. Every 10 seconds someone wants you to buy some jewelry, food, hats and other ticky tacky junk.
Hey, what about the gay beach in Santa Moncia at Will Rodger States Park?
(Or as we commonly refer to it "Ginger Rodgers State Park")
It was on that beach back in the day where Chris met Don.
#6. If the beach in Tel Aviv is filled with hotties like that, I'm going.
This makes me wish summer lasted longer.
@Ian: I've been to this beach, and yes, the men are gorgeous. The Israeli men are particularly handsome. It's kinds tough to tell who's gay though since Middle Easterners and also European people tend to stare and keep your gaze longer than Americans. It doesn't mean they're gay. Usually when they're on their knees in front of me, then I can assume they're gay :)
I didn't realize there were gay beaches. Are they different from straight beaches? Is there a dividing line in the sand? Is there a dating service for gay beaches?
Enquiring minds wish to know.
@jason: If you weren't such a closet case you would know the answers.
Woo! Delaware! <3
I went to Sebastian beach and didnt see any gays! Maybe it was an off day lol
It's times like this I feel so lucky to be gay!!
I live in Rehoboth!!! yay
as stated above… Vallarta is overload & you really can't even enjoy the water. It does seem baffling to me that P-town didn't make the list, especially since the list is titled for "gay & lesbians" & the cove is one of the few where you'll ever see any galz.
And since I'm in SFO, I'll mention that on Baker Beach, right here in the city, we have gorgeous views of the GG Bridge, are allowed to go nekkid, & have the option of parking in the lot, or cliff-diving down to the cruisy part (seemingly a prerequisite for any 'real' gay beach!) Just don't try & swim in the water.
This beach is actually part of the Nat'l Parks, which makes it extra fun, "winkin' yer brown-eye" at Washington, DC who we can bet has NO IDEA the gays are up to no-good right on Gov't property! :)
Not a single West Coast beach (and no, Mexican beaches don't count.) I knew some writers still on Queerty's staff were from the old-school days of East Coast preference – otherwise known as: "What's a West Coast" or "LOLZ that "Other/Left Coast!"" – but I thought they' be encouraged to be a little less self-interested.
In any event, as noted: Santa Monica and Will(/Ginger) Rogers State Beach (LA) are good choices, but Baker Beach (SF) is an even better pick. I'll also throw in the isolated bays of Laguna Beach (OC) as a very cruisy, (illegally) clothing-optional beach.
Both Baker and portions of Laguna are known as "the gay beaches" among locals, further ensuring their reputation and visitor base remains consistent.
Yet not a single West Coast beach gets mentioned, but the crappy sun, sand and (no) surf of Rehoboth and Fire Island get top billing?
I prefer Lands End for the wind swept junipers and surf boom and spray in the stacks, and the naked beach on Hwy 1 south of SF, and Russian River for the Redwoods, and P-Town for the quaintitude. Fire Island is overly hierarchical for my taste. Of course, obsessing on looks and muscles over kindness and character is par for the gay course, but Fire Island is over the top.
Yet "wind swept" is a cliche clause that is for your taste. Which, if you were to consult some, would speak to its absence. And nude beaches? There aren't enough bullets, wilberfarce. Not enough.
Today is August 20, 2011. Does anyone know if the Bummer has officially evolved yet? Just askin.
the list should extend beyond 10 because i can name a few more beaches which should be named ie: sitges(spain), baker beach although the water sucks the view is priceless(san francisco), haulover state beach (sunny isles,florida) , queens beach (honolulu), san gregorio beach (san francisco), blacks beach (san diego), san onofre beach ,socal. little makena nude beach on maui. cmon guys add to the list!
Thanks for saying I have no taste. Does that mean the guys who go to these places also have none? And I don't appreciate the bullets remark. Please don't talk to me. I have zero interest in your ideas.
Hmm, well Oregon may have better beaches then all mentioned for some. There are two gay/str8 nude beaches where all is bared and woods for those who choose to dare….have sex that is. And they do, lots of it. And the guys are med to hot. Not ocean beaches but great sandy beaches nonetheless called Sauvies Island and Rooster Rock on the awesome Columbia River. If you ever get up to see the backwoods Portland boys of the Great Pacific NW, (forget Seattle, not pretty) you won't be disappointed.
Shaddup, damaged goods. The only people who go to nude beaches are fugly. FUGLY! You'll never meet a hot nudist.
Haulover beach in Miami Beach is very popular, and is legally clothing optional. The northern end of the beach is mostly gay. It is frequented by all age groups.
But I can understand why it Haulover is not included in this list — pictures would be NSFW.
So, you just decided to skip Europe altogether?
I simply don't know what a gay beach is. Is there a sign which says "gays only"? Is there a barrier that you must cross on the basis of how gay you look? You know, I'm desperately interested to find out. Do you need to have a poodle with you? Honestly, I'm crying out for an answer.
Where on earth are these "gay beaches"?
@Ganondorf: So lets see if I understand you correctly. All the plastic narcissistic gym bunny self-centered look down your nose people go to the textile beaches, while real people who are comfortable with their selves and others around them go to nude beaches. The people who wouldn't give you the time of day and wouldn't acknowledge your existance because you don't meet their standards of beauty all hang out at the clothing beaches and the friendly helpful folks who are HUSBAND material are at the nude beach. Thank you very much but I prefer to hang out with the "fugly" on the OUTSIDE people than the ones who are pretty to look at and are disgusting on the inside. You stick with your superficial looks, I'll stay with the high quality nudists. Paul(obvious nudist)F.
You forgot Condado Beach in Puerto Rico.
I know we're American and geography is not our thing, but it's actually and officially called Rehoboth Beach, DE.
I know we're American and geography is not our thing, but it's actually and officially called Rehoboth Beach, DE. Like, there's no place called "Rehoboth, DE."
I questioned the exclusion of some beaches I've been to like Blacks Beach, Gunnison in Sandy Hook NJ, Haulover in Miami or Super Paradise Beach in Mykonos but all of those are mixed beaches not exclusively gay.
@Ian: If you like the daddies, AKA silver foxes, get there immediately. You'll be like a kid in a candy store.
@TommyOC: Finally someone opened that can of worms. Stupid and venal queens that nobody can stand if they're not on their knees go to beaches with no surf. They are bored and mean of course, because they can't go into the water for any fun. Besides, if they do they'll get muscle toned and fit, forcing them to look older and more butch than a fourteen year old girl. I love how they self select though, if you go there the cocktail mixers are the same way. Eat Coast beach clones are like '92 forever, and yes, it was boring then too. Just let's not remind them too often, OK? They'll forget anything was said in 3, 2, 1…
Oh yes, and the hot speed boats water skiing and luxury craft make it even funner. Clothing opt butt most are nekkid. Oh sweet summer.
What about Mallorca, I'm thinking increasing the list to 25 would more inclusive.
In California, there are several beachs, their popularity has changed but they are still, very Gay, but maybe not as young. San Gregorio, has stories wonderful Gay beach stories.

What about that Greek island everyone goes to? Mykonos right?
@Adman: I can dig the salt-n-peppa thing. :)
I dont see how 12th Street Beach in Miami Beach is not on this list.
What about Es Cavallet in Ibiza??
@Ian: Heh, yeah think handsome and sultry and smart. Yep, everywhere. Hmmm, wish I could've made time to go this fall, but I'm taken. Can't think of a reason to get him to go without him seeing through my BS.
No beaches that do not allow alcohol should be allowed. Spain and Portugal are the best
Hey guys, I have just come back from holiday in Sitges and Barcelona in Spain. Both have fab gay beaches, clothed and nudist, with hot guys as well as blokes next door types on them!
My favourite has to be Balmains, the gay nudist beach in Sitges. It is set in this lovely bay with clean, warm shallow water going out really far. As said there was a great mix of types on the beach, hotties on the outside, hotties on the inside and both and neither!
Highlight of the week was spotting a couple of horse hung porn stars from the Michael Lucas stable-just as good in the (ample) flesh!
The gay beach in Laguna is called West St Beach. I practically spent my entire teenage summers at this beach and back then it was fun and boisterous. It even had it own micro mini pirate radio station called Kweer FM – this was in the 80's so it played basically the Gogo's! And it was so small that its frequency range was about 500 yards.
"?est gay beaches in the world". Totally pretentious title. Where are the famous cruising spots of Spain, Greece, France or Italy? Perhaps you meant "Gay beaches in the Americas".
Try Elia in Mykonos, Eressos in Lesbos, Banana in Skiathos or Kallithea in Rhodes and you will forget everything else.
You can find the 3 most beautiful beaches here at http://www.top3best.com/top-3-most-beautiful-beaches
I agree with JBLS! Where's the listing for Benidorm Spain or Maspalomas in the Canaries??? I thought we were the minority with the most passports? Am I the only one who travels?

One hasn't watched an 'angry' film on the Hindi screen in a very long time. Gone are the days when filmmakers took a hard look at contemporary socio-political events and projected their concerns and consciousness through compelling cinema. Between frivolous global romances and paeans to the underworld, we have compromised the art of reflection and introspection on the immediate. Perhaps the last such film to rattle our collective conscience was Sudhir Mishra's Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi. Finally, Dibakar Banerjee's fourth film, Shanghai, makes another distinctive statement about the discontent and chaos of modern India.
Obviously the filmmaker doesn't have answers to the cauldron of repressed rage that's being systematically quashed in the name of progress. But at least he cares enough to put it out there, and doesn't alienate himself by taking an intellectual or moral high ground. Shanghai is not a new story. An unnamed town is caught in the throes of unrest when politicians and foreign investors flock to transform it into an urban paradise by creating special economic zones and start vacating colonies indiscriminately to speed up the process. Goons masquerading as protestors run amok in broad daylight while the police and the establishment look away. Sounds familiar?
At the centre of the crisis is a neighbourhood called 'Bharat Nagar', a microcosm for the nation in flux, where a small band of social activists fight a losing battle to save the colony from falling into the hands of big business. A respected and savvy leftist leader Dr. Ahmedi (Prosenjit Chatterjee) arrives in town to unify the residents against the acquisition, but is quickly and callously eliminated. His student and lover (Kalki Koechlin) is horrified by this staged 'accident' and determined to seek justice. A porn videographer (Emraan Hashmi in a career-defining role) who has watched the incident from the sidelines gets drawn into the action for different reasons, while the IAS officer who is appointed as a one-man commission to investigate the episode (Abhay Deol) finds himself trapped in a no-win game, but ends up unearthing more than his bosses would have liked.
Through this political drama we see the minutiae of a complex network of deceit and depravation from which nobody can come out unscathed. Banerjee and his co-writer Urmi Juvekar have adapted a novel called Z by Vassilis Vassilikos which was first brought to the screen by Costa Gavras in 1969 into a blistering thriller. It's a slow-burning screenplay built piece-by-piece to the final implosion, where everything collapses on itself. There is no room for catharsis in this bleak world.
The triumph lies in Banerjee's vision marked by small details of character -- the truck-driver responsible for the accident (Anant Jog in a gut-wrenching act) is perhaps the most poignant face in the crowd. He is a disenfranchised, clueless pawn who will be crushed one way or another. Principal secretary Kaul (Farooque Sheikh, such a delight to have him back!) on the other hand, is a slimy smooth-talker to the core, while Supriya Pathak's Chief Minister sends a chill down your spine in a single scene that encapsulates the machinations of political bigwigs.
Employing a minimalist style in dialogue (the only person who makes declamatory speeches is heard babbling in the background -- his words are pointless in any case) and exposition, the director allows Nikos Andritsakis' stunning impressionistic cinematography (characterised by close-ups and harsh back-lighting) and an unsettling, clamorous sound design to convey the message. So that when the videographer and another local goon (Pitobash Tripathy) break into a frenzied dance number called "Bharat Mata ki jai", the irony is a body blow to the world's largest democracy.

It Takes A Village
There is a modern day adage in the restaurant business that says that all it takes to be a restaurant critic is a laptop and an opinion. While that was the source of laughs a few years back, it's serious stuff today and indeed no laughing matter. Witness a recent article in the NY Times (dated 11/5 by Donald McNeil, Jr.) entitled "Eat and Tell".
Living in today's technological age is stimulating and powerful. Anyone not living under a rock who followed the recent election coverage had to be blown away by the role that tech played – from Tom Cruise -like "Minority Report†screens that moved with the touch of a hand on CNN to ongoing day -of invitations from NPR to post your videos of election day issues and opinions to their website. Who would'a thunk that a mere four years ago?
Well, the restaurant and hospitality business is now also privy to the role of the community at large, and people who have passion and opinions about food and love to share them with likeminded foodies. According to this NY Times article, Yelp's ranks have been steadily swelling to 15 million visits a month to check out online reviews (four million written) of dining establishments. That's powerful stuff and has taken the world of letting the diner make the call, shepherded in initially by Zagat, to a new level while making it accessible, rich and 3D (if you consider the addendums of video, jpegs and the like) and adding texture to the otherwise mildly-dull-on-its-own written word.
Of course there are polarized opinions as to the validity of these reviews ranging from the "what makes these folks qualified yada, yada, yada…†to those who take reviews and reviewing very seriously – as a form of word of mouth marketing over an additional channel. Personally, if I am going somewhere I am unfamiliar with vis-à -vis the restaurant world, I generally cross reference yelp and chowhound reviews against the more 'traditional' sources. I utilize John Mariani's online newsletter, Food and Wine and Saveur magazines and, of course, I ask my friends.
Though bulletin boards and chat rooms exist for wines at this point, they are dwarfed in volume, reach and scope by those for food and restaurants. After all, if the modern definition of a critic is that "laptop and an opinionâ€, with wine only the former is a given (with my conscious tip of the hat to people's on going insecurity about saying what they think about wine when compared to asking for opinions about food).
What's your hit on the role of the yelps and chowhounds of the world?

Coming into Saturday's game against Salisbury, Lycoming was on pace to win its fourth consecutive title at the school's 15th annual Tip-Off Tournament. It probably would have succeeded in doing so if Salisbury's senior guard Travon Vann hadn't got in their way.
Vann scored a game-high 30 points and pulled in a game-high 18 rebounds as Salisbury beat Lycoming in the Tip-Off Tournament championship game 85-82 Saturday at Lamade Gymnasium.
Vann helped Salisbury jump out to an early 5-0 lead by recording a rebound, a free throw and a blocked shot in the game's opening 1 minute, 10 seconds. However, the Warriors were able to fight their way back into the game, as sophomore Patrick Dougher went on a first half flurry, scoring 14 points while going 4-for-5 from 3-point range.
After nine lead changes, Lycoming entered its locker room at halftime with a 41-38 lead. When they returned to the floor, the Warriors seemed poised to take control of the game, as they maintained the lead throughout most of the second half.
As the second half progressed, Salisbury's field goal percentage saw major improvements, going from 45.2 percent in the first-half to 73.9 percent in the second. Salisbury was 17 of 23 from the field in the second half. The?Sea Gulls also saw vast gains from 3-point range, shooting 5-for-7 in the second half despite missing all 10 of their attempts in the first half.
Ultimately, Lycoming's inability to stop Travone Vann in the paint is what led to their downfall. Vann took over in the second half, scoring 14 points on layups. He also pulled down six rebounds in the second half.
"He's a good player. Once he got that mindset that he could take it to the rack everytime, we just couldn't stop him," Lycoming sophomore guard Chris Foreman said of Vann. "They were a real big and strong team, but that's our fault, we just need to play better."
Three times during the second half Salisbury cut its defecit to just one point. It was finally able to recapture the lead when Craig Ryan plucked the ball from Lycoming's Ishaan Davis with 45 seconds left Vann, who threw down an emphatic dunk which put Salisbury up for good, 83-82.
In the final seconds of the game Vann, wh owas named the tournament's MVP, continued his reign of terror on Lycoming by blocking a Jerald Williams layup attempt, rebounding the ball after the block, and hitting two free throws after being fouled, which sealed Salisbury's three-point win.
"They are a very good rebounding team. They are physical and they execute, and they were able to do that throughout the game. You try to control hemorrhaging when it takes place in stretches, but Salisbury did a really nice job," Lycoming fifth-year head coach Guy Rancort said. "We just need to make sure that we are learning from situations like this and get better."
Travon Vann 12-16 6-7 30; Tim Harwood 3-8 8-8 16; Trent Epps 7-9 1-5 15; Craig Ryan 3-4 0-0 8; Elijah Gore 3-5 1-2 8; Chris Viqueira 3-7 0-0 6; Kyle Savercool 0-2 2-2 2; Luke Ruland 0-0 0-0 0; Dylan Robeson 0-0 0-0 0; Derrick Miller 0-1 0-0 0; Troy King 0-2 0-0 0. Totals 31-54 18-24 85.
Chris Foreman 5-13 2-3 16; Patrick Dougher 5-9 1-3 15; Kevin Anthony 4-6 3-4 11; William Wingate 4-8 2-3 10; Ihsaan Davis 4-11 0-0 10; Michael Rudy 3-4 0-0 8; Anthony Martin 1-4 2-2 4; John Monkam 1-3 1-2 3; Jerald Williams 1-5 1-3 3; Justin Miller 1-1 0-0 2; John Ryan Wolff 0-1 0-0 0.

Halftime - Lycoming 41, Salisbury 38. 3-point goals--Salisbury 5-17 (Craig Ryan 2-3; Tim Harwood 2-6; Elijah Gore 1-3; Kyle Savercool 0-1; Troy King 0-1; Chris Viqueira 0-2; Travon Vann 0-1), Lycoming 12-23 (Patrick Dougher 4-6; Chris Foreman 4-8; Michael Rudy 2-2; Ihsaan Davis 2-5; William Wingate 0-2). Fouled out-- None. Rebounds--Salisbury 42 (Travon Vann 18), Lycoming 26 (Kevin Anthony 6). Assists--Salisbury 18 (Travon Vann 6), Lycoming 22 (Jerald Williams 10). Total fouls--Salisbury 20, Lycoming 17. Technical fouls--None. A-456.

text: I'm sure there are people who will recommend YAYOG, but I've had great success with Convict Conditioning- In a little more than a year I've drastically improved my pushups, and I'm almost doing one-armed. I'm doing pistol squats with both legs, and my pullup numbers are improving. Some of the exercises are slow going, but it is a well-laid out progression for the exercises. By keeping the numbers small, and working through the progressions, I was able to go into each workout knowing what I needed to do, which is huge for me- too many exercises gets confusing for me, I max out at 5-6 per workout, and the less they change the easier it is to monitor progress and stay on it.

Lobbying: Buying and Utilizing Access
Wolfgang Mayer
University of Cincinnati - McMicken College of Arts and Sciences - Department of Economics
Sudesh Mujumdar
University of Southern Indiana
Economics Discussion Paper No. 2012-15
This paper introduces an alternative to the lobbying literature's standard assumption that money buys policies. Our model - in which influence-seeking requires both money to buy access and managerial time to utilize access - offers three significant benefits. First, it counters criticism that the money-buys-policies assumption is at odds with reality. Second, its much stronger lobbying incentives weaken the free-rider problem and raise incentives for lobby formation. Third, the model yields testable hypotheses on: the determinants of lobbying incentives; the number of lobbying firms in an industry; and the impact on industry lobbying by the size distribution of firms, contribution limits on firms, world price changes, and the ability to adjust labor employment.

Deputies got a call to the residence in the 19000 block of Weller Road on a report of a meth lab. Officers made contact with Scottie Lamar Swann, 32, who was found to have warrants in Jefferson County and placed under arrest.
The deputies then located the drug paraphernalia. West Alabama Narcotics Task Force agents assisted.
Swann was charged with first-degree unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance. He is currently in the Tuscaloosa County Jail with a bond of $50,000 for this charge and a hold placed for Jefferson County on the outstanding charges.

text: MM/DD/YY Dayofweek ---- item11,item12... ... item n1, item n2...However it quickly becomes laborious and you end up having multiple duplicates in various days of items that could not be done. Also it is difficult to keep track of ones done - one method is to "tick" them off using \ (started) \/ (complete) X (cancelled) but difficult to find time to manage this consistently. Having both on laptop/desktop and pda is a problem as if you change both trying to "sync" by cut and paste is error-prone and more than likely something will get overwritten when copying. I've always thought the ideal Task program would be a pocket version of MS Project or similar but down to the minute for daily tasks would be great as many tasks have inter-dependencies and recur and the gannt diagram makes it easy to see the overall picture (assuming it could scroll and zoom easily on a small screen). StandardTime? is a great program for tracking billable time but think this should be part of whatever Task program you use. It should also use something like SyncMl? to keep desktop, favourite server, mobile phone as well as PDA automatically sync'ed (wirelessly) for Tasks together with Contacts. Current task managers only prioritize high, medium and low which is useless for me as all that happens is you end up with 3 large unsorted partitions in the task program. When you promote to appointment the link is also broken. Checking status "complete" in appointments does not tick it as complete in tasks. Hate paper lists and binders but unfortunately have to agree with the author above text files are the best way to use a PDA right now.

I wanted a new cat! I only had our 2 old grumps Kaylee and (Tigger "R.I.P.") My cousin's wife told me at Christmas that her step mother had a fluffy white cat that we could have. My mom agreed and 2 days after New Year's we went and got him. I named him Edward because my cousin's wife's dog's name was Bella (you know twilight) and since she was the reason I had him. (surprisingly it fits him perfectly, HE IS A VAMPIRE, loves to bite!) He actually got attacked by a coyote this past winter and survived. But, unfortunately he has lost the use of one of his back legs. The vet said once the fur started to rub off we would have to remove it. it has started to now so soon he will be a 3 legged kitty. But he is back to his normal self (except he is sticking closer to home) UPDATE: Edward now is a 3 legged cat. He finally got his bad leg removed and is doing very very well. :)

Victory State Bank Points to Ways to Avoid Fraud; Part 1 of a 2-part series: What to Do to Avoid a Scam
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Victory State Bank knows your money is important to you and we would like to offer advice to help keep it safe. Scam artists can be very convincing, and very good at what they do. The Federal Trade Commission suggests the following steps you can do to stop a scam:
What to Do
Know who you're dealing with. Try to find a seller's physical address (not a P.O. Box) and phone number. With internet phone services and other web-based technologies, it's tough to tell where someone is calling from. Do an online search for the company name and website, and look for reviews. If people report negative experiences, you'll have to decide if the offer is worth the risk. After all, a deal is good only if you get a product that actually works as promised.
Know that wiring money is like sending cash. Con artists often insist that people wire money, especially overseas, because it's nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money. Don't wire money to strangers, to sellers who insist on wire transfers for payment, or to anyone who claims to be a relative or friend in an emergency and wants to keep the request a secret.
Read your monthly statements. Scammers steal account information and then run up charges or commit crimes in your name. Dishonest merchants bill you for monthly "membership fees" and other goods or services without your authorization. If you see charges you don't recognize or didn't okay, contact your bank, card issuer, or other creditor immediately.
After a disaster, give only to established charities. In the aftermath of a disaster, give to an established charity, rather than one that has sprung up overnight. Pop-up charities probably don't have the infrastructure to get help to the affected areas or people, and they could be collecting the money to finance illegal activity.
Talk to your doctor before you buy health products or treatments. Ask about research that supports a product's claims — and possible risks or side effects. In addition, buy prescription drugs only from licensed U.S. pharmacies. Otherwise, you could end up with products that are fake, expired, or mislabeled — in short, products that could be dangerous to your health.

Understanding General and Specific Intent: Eight Things I Know for Sure
Eric Alan Johnson
University of Illinois College of Law
March 30, 2012
Forthcoming in Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law, Vol. 13
The distinction between general and specific intent is a notorious source of confusion. Still, the federal courts and the state courts continue to make use of this distinction in interpreting criminal statutes with respect to mens rea. So attorneys (and law professors) have little choice but to muddle through as best they can. In this paper, I try to dispel some of the confusion surrounding this distinction. I don't offer a complete, unitary theory of general and specific intent, because any complete, unitary account of general and specific intent is bound to be misleading. Instead, I confine myself to saying a few things I know (or think I know) about this topic.

You may feel empathetic today, with a heightened sensitivity to the feelings of others. This empathy could urge you to serve others in meaningful ways such as volunteering at a charitable organization or devoting more time to friends and loved ones who are in need of assistance. While you likely have the resources and desire to help others, you may also wish to devote some quality time to yourself so that you don't become too enmeshed in the struggles of others. You can take time to engage in self-care activities such as meditation or journaling, or you might consider enjoying activities that inspire you, such as creative pursuits or entertainment options in your area. This will help lift your spirits and provide a feeling of joy that you can then spread to others in your life today.
We can better serve others in love and joy if we take time to engage in enjoyable activities to lift our spirits and energize our bodies. Though a strong sense of empathy can often help us understand others better, it can also result in feelings of fatigue as we devote most of our attention to them. By taking time to honor our own needs for self-care and recreation, we contribute positive energy to our own welfare, which helps us feel more energetic and inspired. This gives us greater motivation and stamina to then help others in meaningful ways. You can best help the people around you today by choosing to engage in activities that fulfill and inspire you.

I S THE POLICE Advisory Commission on the road to becoming a permanent city agency? City Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. told the Daily News yesterday that he plans to finally introduce legislation Thursday calling for a change to the Home Rule Charter to establish a permanent, independent PAC.
The commission, which looks into citizen complaints about police conduct, was created under a mayoral executive order 18 years ago and thus could be abolished at any time.
Jones' announcement comes a day after a Daily News article examined the commission's struggles, including a backlog of 129 cases and a lack of authority.

Airline broadband turns three – with new services and pricing
January 19, 2006 Though the internet seems to have been with us for an eternity, the world's first broadband internet service on a commercial airliner had just its third birthday this week. It was on January 15, 2003 that passengers flying aboard a Lufthansa 747-400 first sampled Boeing's Connexion high-speed internet service. The new service enabled what we'd long dreamed of (or dreaded, depending on your point of view) – seamless, real-time communications, with the speed and quality characteristic of a modern office environment, including Internet access, audio, video, e-mail, VOIP and intranet access. Connexion ushered in the New Year by announcing new pricing and service enhancements for its real-time high-speed Internet and entertainment services to airline passengers in flight. The service enhancements include an expanded delivery of four channels of live global television to airlines that offer the Connexion by Boeing service, and implementation of Yahoo! as the exclusive search engine on the service's portal used by passengers on flights to access the Internet and email. The bargain of the new pricing is a 24-hour price of US$26.95 including connecting flights within 24 hours of sign-in.
Pricing for the service will be simplified, giving passengers more flexibility with four choices based on the amount of time they want to be connected: one hour costs US$9.95, two hours costs US$14.95, three hours costs US$17.95 and the full unlimted 24 hour price of US$26.95 including connecting flights. The new pricing, effective January 31, is based on extensive customer research conducted individually, and in conjunction with, leading airlines in Europe, Asia and the U.S. Beginning Monday, January 23, all airlines equipped with the Connexion by Boeing service may begin offering their passengers four channels of live global TV from their laptops. Live global TV programming is part of the Internet and data access service and is provided at no additional cost to passengers purchasing the Connexion by Boeing service.
The Yahoo! Search Engine feature began on the day of the birthday - January 15.
The television programming, which will be distributed across the Connexion by Boeing global network, consists of BBC World, EuroNews, Eurosportnews, CNBC and MSNBC.

He will use the unique 3D perspective that SRTM will provide to measure
the lay of the land for several oceanic islands that are often cloud-covered,
and whose landscapes are under attack by various processes, including
the actions of humans. SRTM digital elevation data will provide a framework
against which to measure landscape changes on these islands, and with
which to drape various other datasets for assessing spatial changes. He
and his team expect to measure the state of small ice caps on some islands
to gain insight into how global climate change has impacted them. Some
of the team's reference islands have NEVER been imaged from Space before
SRTM, either because of their remoteness, or because of continuous cloud
cover. Many of the island test sites are volcanic, and some have been
modified to such an extent by humans that their topographies are no longer
natural. SRTM will be of extreme value in assessing the state of erosion,
hazards due to severe storms, and other factors for such islands.

Study: Deep breathing can't stop hot flashes
September 17, 2012 at 12:00 am in Healthy Living by VN Editors
Slow, deep breathing techniques may not be the answer women who want to stop hot flashes have been hoping for. A new study shows that the technique doesn't affect hot flashes, as previously believed.
Just breathe
Having hot flashes causes many women to seek relief. It's the most common symptom of menopause and one of the most troublesome, because there is a cure. Hormone Replacement Therapy, HRT, can give your body back the estrogen that it's lost through menopause. This greatly relieves hot flashes, hormonal night sweats and many other symptoms associated with menopause. However, many medical experts have advised against using HRT because it increases cancer risk in women.
Other experts have advised that breathing techniques can help stop hot flashes naturally. According to one new study, it's not true. The study has been recently published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. A clinical trial of menopausal women showed that breathing techniques didn't affect hot flashes.
Through paced respiration, 6 to 8 breaths are taken every minute. It's a technique used to promote relaxation, and some physicians encourage menopausal women to practice it twice a day for 15 minutes at a time. Women are also encouraged to practice it when a hot flash begins. The North American Menopause Society is one of the advocates of the paced respiration technique.
The new study, conducted in a blind and controlled method, involved 218 women. Of these, 88 were asked to use the slow breathing method when experiencing a hot flash. Another 86 women were told to do exactly the opposite. They were instructed to take quick, shallow breaths when experiencing hot flashes instead. The other 44 were told to breathe and behave normally and do nothing new at all when their flashes came.
Some women in all three groups noted a change in their hot flashes, but there were no significant results in any category. The findings indicate that breathing methods make little difference, and can't stop hot flashes after all.
Janet Carpenter, the lead author of the study, says she would encourage women not to try breathing techniques. "I would actually rule this out," she explained to Reuters Health. "I think we need to not tell women to use things that are not helpful, because it delays them finding treatments that are helpful."
Different treatments have different effects on menopausal women, however, and many experts agree that stress-relief can be a very effective treatment. Certain vitamin supplements and medicinal treatments that don't involve hormone therapy have also worked well for many menopausal women.

Technically speaking, both Gnome and KDE are highly configurable desktop systems with object-oriented internal design, and even for non-technical users, these desktops (if configured appropriately) are very easy to use.

Santa Clarita Christian has already knocked out the No. 2, Windward and No. 3-ranked team, Avalon, in the CIF-Southern Section Division I 8-man football playoffs.
Now the team has its sights set on taking out Heritage League mate and No. 1-ranked perennial powerhouse Faith Baptist in the finals.
SCCS will take on the Contenders tonight at Harry Welch Stadium at 7 p.m.
The Cardinals lost 46-32 to the Contenders on Nov. 1.
After the loss, SCCS (10-2) has rebounded going on to win five straight.
But this rivalry has been one-sided for the past five seasons in favor of Faith Baptist (12-0), which has not lost to the Cardinals since 2003.
"We're excited to play them again," said SCCS head coach Garrick Moss. "This time we'll give a better game. We get a chance to play at home and the guys get excited about playing at home."
But this matchup will have a lot more at stake — the division title. A win for SCCS will clinch the program's first ever-division title.
"They've won several," said SCCS head coach Garrick Moss of Faith Baptist. "We're hungry for our first CIF title and this team is working hard and playing good football."
Faith Baptist won back-to-back titles in 2004 and 2005 under head coach John Rasmussen — six titles overall for the program the first coming in 1984, followed by titles in 1991, 1994 and 2001.
Last season, Faith Baptist fell 36-32 to Joshua Springs in the finals.
Rasmussen attributes much of the Contenders' success in the past two seasons to the arrival of co-head coach Rob Davidson, who joined the program in 2006.
Faith Baptist has gone 34-2 since Davidson arrived and Rasmussen said he brings more than just a knowledge of the game to the field — he's an inspiration.
"I knew he was great with kids and a really good coach when I brought him on," Rasmussen said. "The kids love him. He's just really helped keep the Faith Baptist family tradition."
And part of that family tradition is Rasmussen's son Matt, who is a quarterback for the Contenders.
Matt, a sophomore, shares the duty with junior Nick Wallin.
Wallin has been a factor for the Contenders this season. The 5-foot-8-inch signal-caller caught the game-winning reception for Faith Baptist in last Friday's 18-14 semifinal win over Thatcher of Ojai.
"He's done everything for us," Rasmussen said of Wallin.
Running back Jason Leight and wide receiver Paul Llorens round out the Contenders' offensive playmakers.
"We've prepared real hard," Moss said. "We know about the run and we know their different playmakers. We have to shut down their run game and beat them on the pass."
The Cardinals will stick to what has worked for them all season — getting the ball in the hands of running back Collin Keoshian and receiver Steven Borden.
"They are great athletes and we know we can't stop them, nobody has stopped them all year, but we hope to slow them down," Rasmussen said.
Both Rasmussen and Moss agree that the most thrilling part of meeting in the finals is the opportunity to represent the Heritage League.
"It's a great thing for the league having two teams in the CIF championship game," Moss said.
"This is rare," Rasmussen added. "We're excited to be apart of the same league and it's great because it shows how strong the league is."

A puppy worth $900 that was stolen in a purse has been returned.
Police said two women stole a Maltese/poodle mix from a Hales Corners pet store on Tuesday night.
Officers said the women put the dog in the bag and walked out of the store.
The dog was returned Wednesday evening.
Police said a parent of one of the suspects recognized his daughter in a photo put out by police and contacted the detective in charge of the case.
The detective then contacted the 17-year-old girl and arranged for the return of the dog. Both suspects are 17-year-old girls. Both were arrested and turned over to the reporting parent, police said.
