Presidential Debate Project: Florida
Atlantic University will host debates to be nationally
televised by MSNBC
BOCA RATON, FL (September 28, 2007) – Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton has been selected to host two live debates featuring the major Republican and Democratic candidates for President. The announcement was made today by Decision 2008: Before You Vote, a partnership that includes Leadership Florida, the Florida Press Association and the Florida Public Broadcasting Service Inc., which has joined with NBC News/MSNBC to produce the debates that will air LIVE on MSNBC on Jan. 23 and 25, 2008, before a nationwide audience.
"We at FAU are thrilled by the opportunity to host debates of such compelling national significance," said FAU President Frank Brogan. "In addition to fulfilling our educational mission to inform Florida's electorate, we look forward to also educating millions of others as we roll out the red carpet and welcome these presidential candidates and the national spotlight that accompanies them to our campus."
Wendy Abberger, president of Leadership Florida, said the Decision 2008: Before You Vote debate series is expected to generate a national television audience in the millions in what is shaping up to be a key week in the presidential primary season. In addition, the partnership will produce two one-hour pre-debate specials on Florida Public Broadcasting TV and radio stations that will feature a panel of Florida journalists who will preview the contests.
Governor Charlie Crist and the Florida Legislature propelled Florida to the front of the electoral process by moving up the date of the Florida primary from early March to Jan. 29. As a result, Florida voters have a new, highly visible and critical role in the national race for president.
The first debate in the Decision 2008 project will occur on the evening of Jan. 23 in advance of Jan. 29 primaries in Florida and South Carolina. The second debate will occur two days later on the evening of Jan. 25. One week after the Florida primary, voters in 24 states will go to the polls on Feb. 5, 2008 the night that likely will determine the 2008 nominees to become the 44th president of the United States.
Letters of invitation have been sent to each of the major candidates for president and the Florida and national chairs of the Democratic and Republican parties. Organizers expect full participation, on account of Florida's pivotal importance as a swing state wielding 27 electoral votes and because of the critical timing of the state's primary election.
"Florida Atlantic University is a wonderful venue to host the nationally televised debates of Decision 2008: Before You Vote, which will provide voters here in Florida and across the United States with the opportunity to learn more about the candidates and issues in these two primary contests," said Teala Milton, chair of Leadership Florida and chief public affairs officer for JEA. "We're thrilled that all Americans will have the opportunity to tune in to these spirited and substantive debates."
Both debates will take place on FAU's campus in Boca Raton and will be broadcast LIVE on MSNBC and on Florida Public Television and Radio. Additionally, most of the NBC affiliates in Florida have expressed interest in broadcasting the debates live. The debate will also stream live at msnbc.com. Further information about the telecast of the debates, including times, moderators and format will be announced at a later date.
"NBC News is pleased to join with the Decision 2008: Before You Vote partnership to bring these debates from the key state of Florida to a national audience," said Philip Alongi, executive producer of NBC News Special Events. "We look forward to working with such experienced partners on this important debate."
Marty Petty, chair of the Florida Press Association and publisher of the St. Petersburg Times, said the partnership promises to deliver Florida voters dynamic, fair and rigorous forums for the major candidates to present themselves and their policy prescriptions to Americans.
"Florida's newspapers have a long and distinguished track record of providing our citizens the distinctive political coverage and forums necessary to ensure rich discourse and engagement in the democratic process. There has never been a more important time for the citizens of Florida or the country to participate. And the Florida Press Association is proud to help set the pace."
Indeed, Florida newspapers will devote substantial space to covering the races involved and, through the Florida Press Association, also will promote viewership of the live statewide debate series through the donation of prominent advertising space.
Jose A. Fajardo, chairman of Florida Public Broadcasting Service, and also president and general manager of WMFE in Orlando, said he was confident that the critical timing of the debates would be a magnet to draw candidates to participate and viewers to watch and listen.
"These candidates know all too well how important Florida is in selecting the next occupant of the White House," Fajardo said. "We are thrilled to be a partner in this important effort."
The partnership in the Decision 2008: Before You Vote project demonstrates its deep reach, significance, balance and non-partisanship. For 25 years, Leadership Florida has served to develop a community of leaders with diverse perspectives to address our state's challenges and work for the common goal of a better Florida. The Florida Press Association is a nonprofit corporation designed to protect the freedoms and advance the professional standards of the press in Florida, with a membership that includes most of Florida's daily and weekly newspapers. Florida Public Broadcasting is a non-profit network of 26 public television and radio stations dedicated to serving our local communities and who reach 99 percent of Florida's population.

Revised Competitive Balance Proposal Simulations
Home | Administrator's Corner | Eligibility | Sports | News
Competitive Balance Proposal Simulations
The spreadsheets are sorted by "athletic count" from largest school to smallest school and contain information as to how the three factors affect each school. The three factors are boundary, socioeconomic and tradition. For more information regarding how the "athletic count" would be determined, please see:
Revised Competitive Balance Proposal: Press Release | Guide
The divisional lines are drawn on each spreadsheet to reflect seven divisions in football, four divisions in volleyball, basketball, softball and baseball and three divisions in soccer.
How many schools are affected by each of the three factors? Just under half of all schools would see an increase in their athletic count due to the boundary factor, while almost 86 percent of schools would see a decrease in their athletic count due to the socioeconomic factor. The tradition factor affects very few schools.
CHART: Total Number of Schools (and percentages) Affected Per Factor
Note that the simulations below are based on the current enrollment numbers and factors, which would change prior to the 2013-14 school year based on updated enrollment data, updated boundary status, updated socioeconomic data and the most recent eight-year period for tradition factor purposes.

Remember the primal law "lift heavy things"! Your routine seems pretty primal to me. What I do is to "primailfy" my own intense lifting is to try to NEVER do the same split/exersices/reps two weeks in a row. I gym 3(sometimes 4) times a week and work every muscle directly once a week, and get some indirect work from the "basic" movements, presses, squats, rows.
I also use lots of supersetting: benchpress/barbell row, chin ups/incline press, curls/extensions etc.
As long as the "law" is followed you will be doing fine.

Coconut oil *****EDIT*****
Where do you buy it?
What do you use it for?
* thank you all so much for your tips and links. I got a lot of useful information and I am planning on getting some the next time I go grocery shopping*
Trader Joes. Moisturizer, hair conditioner, lip balm, and now I'm gonna make toothpaste =0)
Look at bulk food stores. Good coconut oil is solid at room temp. You can use it as conditioner, for dry skin/eczema, even cooking. For cooking, it's super healthy, cholesterol free :)
I've use it for pretty much anything that can be cooked vegetable oil -- potatoes, zucchini, etc. It is great for cooking fish.
I haven't tried baking with it, and I don't use it raw (for example, I've never used it in a salad dressing). I buy organic coconut oil at Trader Joe's.
Oh, and it can help with burns and scrapes, too!

Hyaeweol Choi, Associate Professor of Korean Studies, School of International Letters and Cultures, Arizona State University
The presentation focuses on the genealogies of the "modern" woman among Korean intellectuals and American women missionaries within the context of Korea's colonization by Japan at the turn of the twentieth century. Touching on some of the major issues of modern womanhood, such as gender equality, education, participation in the public sphere, and representations of gender in the popular media, it discusses the dynamic interplay between the Confucian-prescribed gender ideology of Korea, the nationalistic desires for nation-building among Korean intellectuals, and the Christian gender ethics of women missionaries. The analysis emphasizes both institutional and discursive endeavors of Koreans and Americans in fashioning modern womanhood in accord with their own mandates-either nationalist, Christian or secular modern. In so doing, the presentation intends to shed light on the ways in which competing narratives on modern womanhood reconfigured Confucian gender ideology for the modern era and also reveals the tensions that women experienced between their newly-found space for emancipation and other forms of social and political control over their bodies and subjectivities.

Principles of Public Health Practice
This course will introduce and analyze the ten essential services of public health. The essential services include monitoring the health status of a community, diagnosing and investigating health problems and hazards, health education, community partnerships and bridge-building, health planning and policy, health and safety regulations and laws, health services particularly for the underserved, workforce training and regulation, health services evaluation, and health research. Students will also become familiar with the eight core competencies of public health practice through application and case studies. The course will be a combination of seminar, lecture and discussion. A final project will be required as well as a written paper and oral presentation.
Social and Behavioral Sciences in Public Health
The focus of this course is to study the relationship between cultural, social and behavioral factors and its role in both individual and population health. A general overview of social and behavioral sciences relevant to public health will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the complex interactions between health at the level of individuals and groups and how they are affected by cultural and social determinants. Extensive readings and case studies will reinforce the concepts introduced in class. The course will be a mix of in-class discussion and lectures.
Environmental Health
This course is an overview of environmental factors, including physical, biological and chemical factors, and their impact on health at a population-level. Theories and concepts in environmental health will be introduced and reinforced with real-life case studies, particularly those from the state of Utah. Students will be required to participate in discussions and write and present a project paper during the course.
Principles of Epidemiology
This course is the first of two courses that will focus on quantitative methods for public health. The course will be an overview of the epidemiologic and biostatistical tools necessary to understand the complex interactions between health outcomes and human populations. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to apply these tools to public health practice, critical evaluation of health research, analysis of data, and proper application of epidemiology and biostatistics in conducting health research. Concepts will be reinforced with historical and contemporary examples and case studies. Commercially available statistical packages will be used for data analysis. The course will be a combination of lecture and discussion. Although this course is the first of two, it can be taken without the second course for a more elementary overview of quantitative methods for public health. Prerequisites:
MATH 141 or equivalent.
Healthcare Management
The focus of this course is to provide students the opportunity to understand various approaches to administration and management as they apply to administering public health programs. The text approaches healthcare management from a population-based management perspective. The class will examine the underlying elements of healthcare management, the administrative processes and issues in carrying out these elements, and then explore the strategies for managing population health across selected functional areas and organizational boundaries. Lectures will also explore leadership principles using preparedness as a theme. The class format will be lectures, quizzes, discussions, some written assignments and class presentations.

WQED sells Pittsburgh Magazine
PITTSBURGH, PA – WQED Multimedia today announced it has sold Pittsburgh Magazine to WiesnerMedia, LLC of Greenwood Village, Colo. Pittsburgh Magazine is western Pennsylvania's number one magazine, according to the 2008 Media Audit. Terms and conditions of the transaction are proprietary and confidential, but Pittsburgh Magazine will continue to operate in Pittsburgh.
Included in the sale are Pittsburgh Magazine's annual City Guide, Home and Garden Magazine and Pittsburgh Weddings.
WiesnerMedia LLC is a full-service nationally recognized and award-winning media company, which includes publications and online products covering a variety of industries, including business, transportation, travel, higher education, the performing arts and energy.
"This is the first brick in the build-out of a regional media company, and Pittsburgh is the perfect place to start," said Dan Wiesner, CEO of WiesnerMedia. "We look forward to working with Betsy Benson and her team to develop new products and services that entertain and inform our readers, advertisers and the community in general."
Pittsburgh Magazine began in 1969 as "QED Renaissance," a local WQED program guide/arts/culture guide. Throughout the decades that followed, it evolved into Pittsburgh's number one city/regional publication.
Longtime publisher Betsy Benson will continue to run the local magazine and will retain most of its staff. The magazine was attractive to the buyers because of its high quality, and they plan no sweeping changes.
"Pittsburgh Magazine will continue to set the standard for success in the magazine publishing industry locally with the highest quality audience and product," said Betsy Benson, publisher of Pittsburgh Magazine.
Readers of Pittsburgh Magazine should expect to see no changes in the magazine.
WQED will maintain a presence in every issue through its eight-page "On Air" section that focuses on WQED's television, radio, web-based programming, and related community engagement activities. The purchase of Pittsburgh Magazine will also not affect WQED members who will continue to receive a yearly subscription to Pittsburgh Magazine for their yearly $40 and above donation to WQED. WQED and Pittsburgh Magazine will continue their partnership with future projects.
Pittsburgh Magazine was one of the last magazines published by a public broadcaster in the United States. WQED continued to publish Pittsburgh Magazine for more than 19 years after some of the larger markets – including Chicago, San Francisco and New York – sold their magazines.
George L. Miles, Jr.,. President and CEO of WQED Multimedia, extended best wishes from the entire WQED family to Dan Wiesner and his team. "This is an exciting time for WQED and the entire Pittsburgh community. WiesnerMedia is one of the country's top publishing firms and an exceptional business that is community-minded and highly respected. Now, that business acumen is part of the Pittsburgh community. We welcome them to western Pennsylvania's business landscape."
Regarding the relationship of Pittsburgh Magazine and WQED, Miles added: "The purchase of Pittsburgh Magazine by this fine corporation now allows us at WQED – the country's first community-supported broadcaster, the opportunity to focus on our core businesses: non-commercial educational television, classical radio, interactive media/website, Emmy-Award winning local production and programming, community engagement, and an education department focused on early childhood.
"For 40 years, Pittsburgh Magazine and its staff of highly talented women and men have been a part of our multimedia family," Miles concluded. "Now it is time for the bar to be raised again and for Pittsburgh Magazine to reach a new prominence in the region and across the country. Dan Wiesner and his corporation are poised to do that successfully by adding Pittsburgh Magazine to its award-winning portfolio of publications."
WQED Multimedia, honored with the 2007 & 2006 Mid-Atlantic Emmy Award for Station Excellence, produces, creates and distributes quality products, programs and services to engage, inform, educate and entertain the public within its community and around the world.

But James W. Comerford Jr., commissioner of the city Department of Permit and Inspection Services, said Monday that no demolition is imminent.
Samuel J. Savarino's Savarino Companies and FFZ Holdings plan to knock down the building along the Buffalo River and build a $15 million loft apartment complex. But Comerford said Savarino had not applied for a demolition permit, adding that there would "not be any midnight demolitions."
"We're not issuing a demolition permit until they go through the process; I can tell you that right now," Comerford said to reporters outside City Hall. "So they're going to have to go through the process. They're going to have to keep the property secured and go through the process of reviewing it with the Planning Board, and then we'll make a determination after that."
Comerford said Savarino is aware of what would be required to obtain a permit, given the property's city landmark status. Preservationists say they want to ensure that the Preservation Board is properly notified of any permit issued to demolish the building and have called for the building to be sold to a buyer who would preserve it.
Tim Tielman, executive director of the Campaign for Greater Buffalo, History, Architecture and Culture, wrote a letter to Mayor Byron W. Brown questioning whether the city was preparing to issue an emergency demolition order for the freight house, without the developer requesting a permit.
Comerford acknowledged that he can issue such an order in what he considers an emergency, "but again, I'm not even certain, with the landmark status, what that would even entail."
The commissioner said he was not inclined to issue such an order for the freight house "unless the building is falling down. I want to just go on record: It's in pretty rough shape right now."
Paul McDonnell, chairman of the Preservation Board, said no one has approached the board about demolishing the building. "We do not think there is any immediate harm to the health and safety of the public, and any concern can be mitigated by properly securing the property," he said. "We see no need for an emergency demolition at all."
Savarino said Monday he did not know when he would apply for a permit. He said the excavators were on-site because unauthorized people had been found inside the building, and he wanted to be prepared in case he had to act quickly to free someone who could become trapped.
"We didn't know if the city would order us to take it down," Savarino said, noting that the complex is already partly collapsed.

MIFFLINTOWN - After years of planning and preparation, local residents in need of assistance now have immediate access to human service providers in Mifflin and Juniata counties.
Marie Mulvihill, executive director of the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata, introduced the new 2-1-1 human service calling network Tuesday at a regular public meeting of the Juniata County Commissioners.
Mulvihill thanked the commissioners for their assistance in funding the network that will act as a liaison between consumers and local human services. By dialing 2-1-1, Mulvihill said callers access a "warm transfer," meaning that a referral specialist will stay on the line with the caller until an appropriate service agency is reached.

This is especially important for callers who are already in crisis, Mulvihill said. A process that used to take up to seven calls to reach the correct agency now takes about two.
In times of natural disaster, the network also has the capability to partner with 9-1-1, accepting urgent, but not emergency, calls so that 9-1-1 may dedicate itself to first responders. If all regional call centers fail, calls will be picked up in a neighboring region, Mulvihill said.
Commissioner Teresa O'Neal thanked Mulvihill for her continued effort toward the project.
"It's a phenomenal opportunity for this community that we would not be able to do on our own," she said.
Also at the meeting, the commissioners:
Approved a board appointment request from the Juniata County Human Services Delivery Fund Advisory Board of Kathie Graham, executive director for Mifflin-Juniata Regional Services Corporation.
Approved the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Medical Assistance Transportation Program Grant Agreement.
Reviewed the Juniata County Adult and Juvenile Probation Department August 2012 monthly report.
Ratified the amended Joinder Agreements pertaining to the HMJ MH/ID Program.
Approved checks Nos. 35,926 through 35,959 in the amount of $41,696.68.

HAMMONTON, N.J. - Long touted as "the blueberry capital of the world," this Pinelands town is rapidly gaining another distinction: taco capital of South Jersey.
With no fewer than half a dozen restaurants and trucks dotting the downtown streetscape, Hammonton - just a short jaunt off the Atlantic City Expressway - has become a destination for those craving everything from a humble soul-food menudo stew to crispy tostadas de tinga or unapologetic Tex-Mex.
And in a decidedly new chapter for this traditionally Italian agricultural enclave, the civic forces have lately embraced these Mexican kitchens as a much-needed jolt of energy to revitalize the downtown, helping to market businesses like Roberto Diaz's El Mariachi Loco to a wider audience.

DUNEDIN — A city advisory group is hosting a community meeting Thursday to figure out why so many Dunedin Highland Middle School students are ending up in handcuffs and how the community can address it.
Citizen volunteers on Dunedin's Public Safety Committee called the forum in response to public comments by Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri that the number of deputies assigned to Pinellas schools has dropped sharply during the last five years because of budget cuts, while arrests in high schools and especially middle schools have spiked.
Dunedin Highland Middle School, Gualtieri told Pinellas School Board members during an Oct. 9 workshop, saw the highest increase in arrests of any county middle school at which the Sheriff's Office provides school resource officers.
"We were all kind of surprised," Dunedin Public Safety Committee chairman Michael Quill said. "We want to understand that and to come together as a community to try to troubleshoot this and come up with some solutions."
However, in an interview Tuesday, Gualtieri said he doesn't attribute the increase in arrests at Dunedin Highland to a lack of school resource officers. The school has always had one resource officer.
Instead, he and school officials attribute the jump to student tensions over the rezoning of Clearwater students to Dunedin Highland, as well as to general law enforcement problems in the surrounding south Dunedin-north Clearwater area.
"I think some of the crime we're seeing in that area is spilling over into that middle school," Gualtieri said.
Michael Bessette, the Pinellas school district's associate superintendent for operational services and a former middle school principal, said Gualtieri's analysis makes sense.
"Schools are no more than a microcosm of the community from where they come," Bessette said. "If the community is having problems, they don't stop at the school doors."
According to Gualtieri, arrests at the four middle schools the Sheriff's Office serves with school resource officers — Dunedin Highland, Osceola, Pinellas Park and Seminole — increased from 58 during the 2007-08 school year to 137 last year.
The biggest increase during that time frame was at Dunedin Highland, where arrests jumped from 11 to 58.
Dunedin Highland Principal Chris Bates said disciplinary problems began increasing about three years ago when Clearwater's Kennedy Middle School was changed to a fundamental middle school and other Kennedy students were split between Oak Grove and Dunedin Highland middle schools.
Soon, tiffs began brewing about things like who grew up on which street — a phenomenon Bates said he's seen before when working at a rezoned Pasco school. He said roughly 30 percent of Dunedin Highland's 1,100 students are from Clearwater.
It's taken three years, he said, "to bring them all together into the Highlander family. Some people think it's better this year because all of those kids have gone on to high school. All the kids who are here now all started here as Highlanders. They didn't all start at different schools and have to come together."
District figures show the majority of last year's arrests were for disruption of school. That was followed by arrests for disorderly conduct, violations of probation, marijuana and battery.
Arrests so far this year are down by 70 percent, Bates said. He said in-school suspensions are also down by 25 percent, referrals are down by 6 percent and out-of-school suspensions are down 34 percent.
Bates praised Clearwater, Dunedin, the Sheriff's Office and outside organizations for partnering with the school on after-hours tutoring and recreational programs aimed at keeping kids off the streets.
About 56 percent of Dunedin Highland students receive free or reduced price lunch — often an indicator of poverty.
"There's a high level of low-income students in this school that may need additional assistance and outlets," Dunedin City Commissioner Julie Ward Bujalski said, "and we're going to look into trying to find ways of providing it if we can."
She hopes Thursday's meeting can generate data officials can take to a larger town hall meeting on south Dunedin residents' concerns. The town hall meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Hale Activity Center, will provide a forum for citizens to sound off on crime, code enforcement, recreation, Dunedin Middle School concerns, infrastructure, drainage and other concerns.
Bujalski has met recently with Gualtieri, Clearwater City Manager Bill Horne and other Clearwater staffers to discuss the need to work together to squelch crime along the two cities' Union Street border. Gualtieri said his agency hopes to cut crime by restoring a community policing officer who had been cut.
Clearwater representatives are expected to attend the Nov. 13 southside town hall to hear residents' concerns firsthand and determine if and how Clearwater can work with Dunedin.

Picks and Pans: Movies
DVD View
Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, Billy Boyd, James D'Arcy, Max Pirkis
This seagoing drama puts a viewer so convincingly in the middle of the action on board a British warship in 1805 that you'll swear you can feel the salt spray. The rousing story of how Capt. Jack Aubrey (Crowe), commander of the HMS Surprise, and his crew determinedly pursue a larger, faster, French enemy vessel around Cape Horn is Hollywood filmmaking at its smartest and most satisfying.
Fans of nautical novelist Patrick O'Brian are likely to be enraptured by Master and Commander, given that it has been so adroitly adapted by director-cowriter Peter Weir (The Truman Show) from the 1st and 10th books of O'Brian's 20-volume series. Let me stress, though, that having devoured the books isn't a prerequisite for enjoying the film and its up-close look at what officers and sailors ate, where they slept and how ship-to-ship combat was conducted during the Napoleonic Wars.
At the heart of both the novels and M&C is the warm but occasionally contentious friendship between Captain Aubrey and Dr. Stephen Maturin (Bettany), the ship's sawbones. The captain is a man of action and Maturin a more introspective sort, but each is capable of moving beyond type to surprise the other (and us). And both do much to earn, and keep, the respect of the ship's crew.
Crowe again proves he is that rarity: a major movie star who can actually act. No firebrand, his Captain Aubrey shoulders the heavy mantle of leadership with a hard-won knowledge of its weight. Bettany, if less charismatic, is equally effective. (PG-13)
Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman
That wascally wabbit is having a caweeah cwisis: How can aging cartoon icon Bugs Bunny, whose résumé sparkles with great, trailblazing shorts, compete with fresh, feature-length wonders like Shrek and Finding Nemo? Action is not the answer: Like 1996's Space Jam, which teamed Bugs with Michael Jordan, Action scrambles live actors and animation, and dishes up something with all the appeal of a cold omelette. Bugs and Daffy Duck race from a Hollywood backlot to Vegas to Paris to the jungle in a jumble of a plot that has something to do with a studio executive (Elfman), a security guard (Fraser) and the villainous chairman of the Acme Co. (Steve Martin), which supplied Wile E. Coyote with all that TNT over the years. The animation is unexceptional—no significant advance over the 1988 classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit?—and the acting by the humans is pretty bad. Martin, in a foppish wig, hisses his lines and swivels his hips. He looks like a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy makeover gone wrong. (PG)
Tupac: Resurrection
Very strange—a vanity project from the dead. This film about slain rapper Tupac Shakur is narrated entirely by the deceased, thanks to clever use of interviews he gave before he was shot and killed in 1996 at age 25. We first hear his voice narrating as if from eternity, with images of racing clouds. (You expect Kevin Spacey to join him in a duet from his own high-floating repose in American Beauty.) This perspective works well enough as Shakur, a charming interviewee, recalls his childhood with his mother, Black Panther Afeni Shakur (who coproduced the film with MTV). But once he arrives at his brief, messy adulthood—tangled up in gangsta fame and crime—he has little to say. Which means that the movie dies before he does. (R)
Hayden Christensen
Vancouver, B.C.-born Hayden Christensen, 22, shifts from Star Wars to newsroom battles as a fraudulent journalist in Shattered Glass, which he produced with brother Tove, 30.
ON PLAYING A LIAR "Playing a con is an actor's dream, because a small part of us always feels like we're getting away with something. But it's tough to lie through your teeth with a strong sense of confidence."
ON BONDING WITH COSTAR PETER SARSGAARD "We played a lot of Ping-Pong. It sounds silly, but in theater classes you play games like tossing an imaginary ball back and forth. I beat Peter at Ping-Pong; he beat me at chess."
ON STAR WARS "I wasn't really a fan as a kid. I wasn't even born when the first one came out. [In the next film] there's a spectacular light-saber fight at the end, which will put all other swordfights to shame."
ON (NOT) BEING PUNK'D "I met Ashton Kutcher, and we were like, 'Yeah, let's hang out.' The next night I saw his show and got really paranoid. I totally blew him off."
Looking to increase your hipness quotient? Check out three ultra-cool new DVDS, released under the umbrella title of the Directors Label, that showcase the influential music videos and short films of three innovative young directors.
The Work of Director Spike Jonze (Palm Pictures, $19.99)
Jonze, who directed the quirky Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, first gained attention in the mid-'90s for making weirdly watchable music videos such as having the Beastie Boys parody '70s cop shows for "Sabotage" and Christopher Walken gliding through a hotel lobby to Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." Viewing these plus 14 others, one sees Jonze grow exponentially in the sophistication of his ideas and execution.
Extras: Short films (the deceptively breezy How They Got There is a hoot) and documentaries, mostly music-themed. (Not rated)
The Work of Director Michel Gondry (Palm Pictures, $19.99)
The French-born Gondry (Human Relations) dolefully claims he opted for quantity rather than quality here, but his Lego-licious video for the White Stripes' "Fell In Love with a Girl" and 26 others are striking in their conceptual integrity. (Not rated)
The Work of Director Chris Cunningham (Palm pictures, $19.99)
London-based Cunningham's mind-searing imagery (check out what he does to Björk in "All Is Full of Love" and Madonna in "Frozen") have deservedly earned him a shot at directing the forthcoming movie version of William Gibson's cult novel Neuromancer. (Not rated)

The game still was in the balance when the White team, coached by offensive line coach Mark Staten, came up with a sandlot play from the sidelines that involved a pitch to wide receiver Keshawn Martin, who was then supposed to wing it down field to quarterback Andrew Maxwell.
Martin threw it to Maxwell, who was open up the center of the field. Robinson, however, caught up to the play and knocked away the ball.
"I read run with Keshawn, and Keshawn in the open field is not a pretty thing, so I made my steps up and then felt Maxwell go running by me," Robinson said. "I thought, 'Oh my,' because you can't let a quarterback catch a ball down field like that. I got on my horse and went back to make a play."
The senior-to-be from Holland was 22-of-29 passing for 285 yards and three touchdowns, and tight end Dion Sims caught four passes for 63 yards and two of the touchdowns.
"Just looking at it, Cousins was very sharp," Dantonio said. "A lot of guys got involved catching the balls. From that standpoint, it was a good day. I don't think we had a turnover. Too many unforced penalties, but that's going to happen in the spring."
The Green, coached by defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, finished with a 302-187 advantage in total yardage. Linebacker TyQuan Hammock led the way for the Green defense with eight tackles.
That earned those players steak dinners served by the White team, which had to eat beans and franks.
The entire team, however, received Big Ten championship rings after the game.
The team also had a recruit from the basketball team for some fun. Draymond Green went through a Thursday practice, and suited up for the game to play two plays at wide receiver.
He will stick to basketball.
Arthur Ray, the offensive lineman who overcame bone cancer in his leg and returned from the four-year ordeal this spring, got in the game for a few inspiring plays.
Otherwise, it was Cousins' day. He hit wide receiver/cornerback Tony Lippett with a 57-yard pass to set up a 2-yard touchdown pass to Sims in the second quarter for the first score of the game.
The White scored on a 28-yard field goal, and trailed 7-3 at halftime.
Cousins hit running back Larry Caper with a 5-yard scoring pass, and hooked up with Sims on a 42-yard scoring play. Sims, who is 6-foot-5, 277 pounds, ran over safety Isaiah Lewis on the play.
"He's a big guy with the softest hands on the team," Cousins said.
Lewis, who led the White defense with eight tackles, said he messed up on the play.
"He's big and talented, but I'm going to play against big and talented guys and I have to make that play," he said. "I wasn't afraid of him. I've tackled big guys before. You have to sweep their feet out, and I didn't do it."
Maxwell finished 9-of-21 for 120 yards, but did have a highlight play when he hit Martin with a 38-yard touchdown pass.
It was the only touchdown for the White, which had the leading rusher on the day in Le'Veon Bell (eight carries, 46 yards).

We've been staying at the Abbey Lynn for a few years now (first stay in 2006, I believe). Having stayed at quite a few B&B's now, we still feel that Abbey Lynn holds the #1 spot. The owners are very kind and make you feel welcome and cared for. They take care of such small details, and it really makes a difference. Rooms are very comfortable and clean, beds are very comfortable. Even extras such as candy, cotton balls, shampoo (and even lotion!), and hair dryers are in the rooms. There are fresh-baked cookies available in the afternoons/evenings, and fresh hot coffee before and during breakfast. The breakfast is absolutely amazing. We've always been very pleased with our stay at the Abbey Lynn and would recommend them to anyone. The town has cute shops, multiple lighthouses nearby, a really great state park just miles down the road, and beautiful beaches. Go to Ludington - everyone should experience the magic. And if you go, stay at the Abbey Lynn. You won't be disappointed.

My wife Rachael and I recently stayed at the Abbey Lynn Inn B&B in Ludington, MI following a wedding we photographed. This was not our first time at the Abbey Lynn. We first encountered this enchanting B&B on our honeymoon over 7 years ago. It was the most absolute PERFECT place then, and it still is today. Bill and Judy are so friendly and enjoyable; they treated us like family. The rooms (we have stayed in 4 of the 5 so far) are luxurious, elegant, and pristine. From the jet-tube in our private bathroom to the WIFI connection, we found ourselves in need of nothing. The best part comes in the morning. Judy's homemade breakfasts are TO DIE FOR! You will NOT find a more delicious meal anywhere. If you want to completely experience excellence in a B&B, then try one night at the Abbey Lynn. You'll never stay anywhere else in Ludington, MI.

Abbey Lynn Inn was my wife's and my first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and let me say, we will have a hard time ever staying at a hotel again! It was such a neat and relaxing experience. From the elegant charm of an old-time home to the little details of fresh baked cookies, always ready hot tea, or the box of chocolates awaiting our arrival in bedroom. The morning breakfast of stuffed french toast, scrambled eggs, and fresh orange juice was absolutely delicious. My wife loved the idea that she didn't have to wake-up and make breakfast in the morning! We will make the trek back to Ludington and experience the warm hospitality that Judy shared with us that made our weekend trip enjoyable and memorable!

I say this living in a place that gets around 25" a year, but
unless you've got some severe seasonality (we usually get less than an
inch June through October, and the year we got 45" during the rainy
season was pretty wet), I'd say "living underneath a faucet" doesn't
really start 'til you get over 100" a year (ie: southeast Alaska).

Which, of course, sent me to Google, where I learned that you meant
way more than 60" a year:

 "The mean annual rainfall at Colon is 129.04 inches; at Porto Bello
 169.15 inches, and at Balboa 91.61 inches."

Director and co-writer Jorge Ali Triana aspires to make major statements about the exploitation of history, the absurdity of cinematic reenactment and the rampancy of political corruption in South America in "Bolivar Is Me" a seriocomic farce, romance and satire that bites off more than it can chew.
Director and co-writer Jorge Ali Triana aspires to make major statements about the exploitation of history, the absurdity of cinematic reenactment and the rampancy of political corruption in South America in "Bolivar Is Me" a seriocomic farce, romance and satire that bites off more than it can chew. Despite a bold leading performance from Robinson Diaz in a complex role, pic tries too hard, undercutting most of its bright ideas. While pic is not without interest, it's too unrealized to attract major fest exposure, and too intellectual an exercise to perform commercially.
Pic begins with a funny set piece in which the life of Simon Bolivar is being brought to the screen as a multi-part telenovella called "The Lovers of the Liberator," in which Bolivar spends more time in the bedroom than on the battlefield. Script also has rewritten Bolivar's death as an execution by firing squad, as opposed to tuberculosis,which just wasn't sexy enough. It's all too much for series star Santiago Miranda (Diaz), a testy prima donna already teetering on the verge of madness. During the shooting of Bolivar's "execution," Miranda finally snaps, and storms off the set.
The producers can't finish the show without their star. But figuring out how to win Miranda back soon becomes the least of their problems. For when the star leaves the set, he leaves reality behind too, remaining in character as Bolivar, to the horror of the showrunners and the delight of the local politicos, who are quick to seize upon Miranda as a way of exploiting the symbol of the revolutionary hero for their own gain. The addled star is invited to perform as Bolivar in the national Independence Day parade and to speak at an upcoming summit. That is, before anyone realizes that Miranda now believes it is his mission to fulfill Bolivar's dream of a united South America.
Some of Triana's poison-tipped darts precisely puncture their targets, particularly in pointing out how far reality has strayed from Bolivar's ideal, using his name and image on decaying hospitals and huckster travel agencies. At one point, Miranda/Bolivar laments that he is "one of history's three greatest dummies" — the other two being Jesus Christ and Don Quixote. But more often than not, Triana hits upon a promising notion and then keeps hitting, until sheer repetition has robbed it of its meaning.
While Diaz's dexterous, loose-hinged performance can be a splendor to behold, Triana lets the character veer too quickly from lampoon to cartoon, and we're left confused as to whether or not we should take any of this seriously.
Visually, pic is uncertain, too, with an overuse of claustrophobic closeups that suggests telenovellas even in non-telenovella scenes.

SPRINGFIELD – Spring Street will be temporarily closed between State and Pearl streets until about 9 a.m. Wednesday to accommodate the movement of heavy construction equipment, Springfield Police Sgt. Dennis Prior said.
"We're just asking people to avoid the area," Prior said this morning, as police officers were preparing to block off the street from just east of the federal courthouse on State Street to its intersection with Pearl Street.
Prior said the closure is required so that heavy equipment can be moved from the site of the Springfield Data Center for Information Technology. The $110 million project is rising between Elliot and Spring streets, with the latter serving as the main access point for construction workers and equipment.
Officials have said the data center is expected to produce up to 70 full-time jobs, and they anticipate it will be a boon for business in and around the Elliot Street and Quadrangle neighborhood. The project, which preserved the original facade of the old Technical High School building, ties in with ongoing improvements to the nearby State Street corridor, which includes the new federal courthouse.
THE MAP BELOW shows the portion of Spring Street that will be temporarily closed to traffic this morning. The street will be closed between Pearl and State streets, which are marked by blue balloons:

From Logos to Christos
Essays on Christology in Honour of Joanne McWilliam
Hardcover 282 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$85.00 $63.75
From Logos to Christos is a collection of essays in Christology written by friends and colleagues in memory of Joanne McWilliam. McWilliam was a pioneer woman in the academic study of theology, specializing in Patristic studies and internationally recognized for her work on Augustine. For countless students she was a teacher, a mentor, an inspiration. These fourteen essays are a fitting tribute to her memory.
Written by recognized North American scholars, the essays explore various aspects of Christology, inviting the reader to probe the meaning and significance of Jesus Christ for today. They address a broad range of issues, including the Christology of the Acts of Thomas, Hooker on divinization, and Christ figures in contemporary Canadian culture.
Teachers of theology and religious studies, pastors, and informed general readers will find the essays stimulating and instructive. They present the readers with considered, mature, and current scholarship. These are the questions that engaged Joanne McWilliam throughout her life, and she was happy to know that the critical dialogue would continue in this volume as friends and colleagues wrestled with Christological questions. For her, "In Jesus we come to know the compassion, the power, the wisdom, the love, and the faithfulness of God".
Ellen M. Leonard is a Sister of St. Joseph of Toronto. She is professor emerita at the University of St. Michael's College, Faculty of Theology, where she has taught since 1977. Her areas of research include Roman Catholic Modernism, Christology, ecclesiology, and feminist theology. Her publications include a number of chapters in collected works as well as three books, the latest being Creative Tension: The Spiritual Legacy of Friedrich von Hugel (1997). She was the 2004 recipient of the Catholic Theological Society of Americas Ann OHara Graff award for her ministries with and on behalf of women and the 2005 YWCA Woman of Distinction award for her contribution to women and education.
Kate Merriman is an Anglican priest who works in the Diocese of Toronto. She has engaged in a wide range of ministries—hostel worker at the Fred Victor Centre, parish priest in the Yukon, chaplain at Trinity College, Field Education Director at Huron College, and parish priest in the city of Toronto. In 2007 she was made a Canon of the Diocese of Toronto in recognition of her work in the areas of sexual misconduct and affordable housing. In 2008 she received the Davenport Community Builders Award for her work in affordable housing.
"This very fine volume consists of 14 specially commissioned essays in honour of the Canadian patristics scholar Joanne McWilliam.... There is a great deal to commend this volume to specialists and to more general readers interested in a range of new perspectives on Christology, or in new takes on classic themes.... [The] collection ... is a major contribution to christological studies, both historic and contemporary. Characterized by learned, lucid writing, these essays are not over-long. They tend to be intense and focussed, yet manage to avoid becoming dense. There are extensive endnotes for any who wish to pursue the references and the vast literature that stand behind these scholars' offerings. The essays reflect a staggering range of engagement, from Paul and Augustine to Lombard, Luther, Calvin, and Schleiermacher; from Tillich, Schillebeeckx, and Niebuhr to Volf and contemporary Canadian cinema, among many other dialogue partners. The credal tradition is plumbed in satisfying depth, taking Chalcedon, Nicaea, Trent, and the Second Vatican Council into account, alongside Eastern Orthodox traditions.... One of the book's strengths ... is its capacity to hold together essays that are both consonant and dissonant with McWilliam's own theological agenda. This is a lasting testament to her wide interests and her respectful and interested engagement with those who disagreed with her. For sheer breadth of discussion, quality of scholarship, and freshness of prose, this collection is highly recommended. The reader will be delighted by the depth and imagination with which the various authors have made their contributions to christological studies in honour of a beloved friend and mentor."
— Robert C. Fennell, Atlantic School of Theology, Journal of Theological Studies
"In short, this is a very fine festschrift, full of interesting and challenging essays. They are a suitable memorial to a very fine scholar and faithful teacher."
— Right Reverend Terry Brown, Anglicans Online

A trip to Augusta National Golf Club, arguably the most famous golf course in the world, wasn't in the works for South Oldham golfer Molly Bebelaar this weekend as the sophomore finished ninth in the regional final of the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship.
It is a group that seldom receives attention for its performances on Friday nights, but it was the first unit South Oldham quarterback Drew Zaubi gave credit to following a 41-7 win over North Oldham. The Dragon offensive line pushed and paved the way for an impressive offensive output against their inter-county rival.
On a night where plenty of storylines filled Dragon Stadium for the annual South Oldham and North Oldham football game, the Dragon offense stole the attention of anyone in attendance.
Three days after being ranked number one in the state, Oldham County boys' soccer had a test with a familiar foe. The Colonels pulled out a 2-1 victory over North Oldham, which moves Oldham County a game ahead of the Mustangs in the District 29 standings.
Two five-minute sudden death overtime periods weren't enough to decide an inter-county rivalry soccer match on Wednesday night, so the game was sent into high-pressure penalty kicks to resolve a 2-2 draw. Isabella Balducci sent in the winning penalty kick to give 21st-ranked Oldham County a win over 15th-ranked South Oldham.
Early on in the season, South Oldham girls soccer focused on finding the final piece of the puzzle by scoring goals. The Lady Dragons (3-5-2) have been able to put the ball in the back of the net this year, but still haven't put everything together.
The Oldham County boys soccer team had a physically draining and eventful weekend at the Purples Classic in Bowling Green. Known as one of the best regular season tournaments in the state, the Purples Classic hosted four teams ranked in the top-20 of the Maher Rankings.
With North Oldham girls' soccer leading Christian Academy of Louisville 2-0, the clock ticks below one minute in the first half.
It was a different week, but the North Oldham football team suffered through the same lingering problems that have plagued its first three games of the season. The Mustangs fell to Elizabethtown 39-3 on Friday night and dropped to 0-3 with inter-county rival South Oldham looming next week.

Last fall, more than two dozen Anadarko Petroleum Co. employees descended on the Embassy Suites in Loveland.
There was no trade show or awards banquet to hobnob with their industry peers. The representatives were on hand to explain oil and gas drilling in its basic forms from beginning to end to the 80-plus northern Colorado residents who attended the event.
The months wore on, and Anadarko held more meetings and tours to reach out to a confused and many times angered public in a communications effort unlike any other — moves that have now become textbook for community engagement to counter an increasing skepticism about oil and gas development.
"Anadarko is probably going to invest upward of $1.5 billion in capital here," said John Christiansen, director of external communications at Anadarko, of its operations in the Denver-Julesburg basin. "I think the scale of that investment shows how important that is to our company and people. Our industry has come a long way in recognizing the importance, and our company in particular has stepped up in a big way in Colorado, but also in the Marcellus in Pennsylvania. We were early on the ground in places like New Zealand and Mozambique and demystifying the industry a bit before we started drilling. There is a concerted effort among those of us in industry to make sure we're communicating openly."
Anadarko was a big player in the American Petroleum Institute's latest playbook on how to engage communities when the oil and gas industry moves in.
The API unveiled the Community Engagement Guidelines last month to reporters in a conference call, developed after three years of discussions and workshops in 15 states.
"These guidelines will provide a road map for oil and natural gas operators seeking to build lasting, successful relationships with local residents in areas of the country where energy development opportunities are open for the first time, thanks to advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing," said David Miller, API's director of standards in the July 9 call.
Community engagement has become the buzzword as an increasingly hostile environmental movement threatens the industry in Colorado. This fall, Colorado voters may face a ballot issue that could restrict oil and gas drilling to 2,000 feet setbacks — a move that many in the industry say would effectively cut off drilling, and put an end to the $29 billion a year in economic activity to the state.
A study by IHS, a global information company that researches topics for a variety of businesses, including the energy industry, found that the average U.S. household saw an increase in disposable income of $1,200 per household in 2012 due to hydraulic fracturing — that's expected to grow to $3,500 by the year 2025, Miller reported in the conference call.
"The same report found that the full unconventional value chain supported over 2 million jobs in 2012 and is projected to support nearly 4 million jobs by 2025," Miller said. "These jobs are increasingly multiplying in areas of the country where oil and natural gas exploration doesn't have the same history as Texas or Oklahoma. That's why the industry's heightened focus on community engagement is so important."
The Community Engagement Guidelines include best practices from companies such as Anadarko, which has had years of successful outreach. They're meant for oil and gas companies to use in areas that aren't traditionally familiar with the industry.
"You could almost look at (the industry) in two different components," Christiansen said of the importance companies are increasingly placing on social acceptance. "Just like the subsurface geology of a play, you have to make sure it works. The rocks, the reservoir, the area, the infrastructure, it all has to be there. The other component is the social geology of it, making sure when you are working with stakeholders, engaging communities that are near and around potential operating locations that you work very openly with them to address questions to listen to question they have so you get the social geology part just as right as the subsurface."
The guidelines detail best practices for communication in the five phases of drilling — entry, exploration, development, operations/production and exit, together encompassing ways to communicate for up to 60 years of drilling operations. With each phase, the guidelines detail how to reach out to communities. Doing so is billed as a way to ensure transparency to communities to build trust.
The guidelines includes recommendations on how to communicate with communities, everything from regular discussions with government officials, emergency responders to residents, in the form of one-on-one meetings to town halls to establishing complaint lines for residences.
Anadarko has been on the forefront of such communications, and in the last six months created a community engagement team within its ranks to meet the increasing demands of public outreach. Alex Hohmann, stakeholder engagement manager for Anadarko, directs that team.
"Here in the Rockies, we're adopting the goal of earning and maintaining our social license to operate," Hohmann said. "The base of that is trust. To earn trust we have to not only operate at a high level of excellence, we have to share and talk about what we do, and a third component of that trust triad is to listen.
"Operating, sharing and listening is our way over time to illustrate trust," Hohmann said. "You have to do what you say you're going to go, and listen to other person's perspectives."
While some could say the "listening" party could be lip-service, Christiansen and Hohmann point to a host of efforts and innovations through Anadarko that came from hearing residents' and officials' concerns. One, Hohmann said, was the development of the company's Stim Center, which allows for remote hydraulic fracturing to help the company avoid becoming a nuisance in areas where homes, for example, may lie in the path of drilling. A recent asset swap between Anadarko and Noble Energy, which consolidated each companies' operations to one portion of Weld County, was another way that listening became action, Christiansen said. Because of the swap, there are fewer trucks on the road and considerably less traffic.
The API standards are just that — guidelines on best practices, and involve no level of enforcement. API is a trade organization.
The guidelines are testaments to what has worked on the East Coast for years, said Karen Moreau, as executive director of New York State Petroleum Council, a division of API. Moreau has been working with communities in New York in regard to drilling in the Marcellus Shale.
"In counties which comprised the southern tier of New York that border Pennsylvania, they have a very strong level of support in those communities for natural gas development," Moreau said in the conference call. "The standards API is introducing today really memorialized some of the work we've been doing in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Dakota, and many states where they're seeing tremendous opportunity that comes with growth. … The standards put pen to paper to describe things we're already actively doing and to serve as a model for our companies and others that are not API members to look to as they engage with communities."
Residents in Colorado, however, are increasingly aware of oil and gas development as it encroaches on their backyards. Many residents have taken sides in the debate and cannot be swayed by community forums, or extra outreach. That doesn't deter Christiansen.
"The best we can do is focus on the items that are within our control, and that's sharing information, and ensuring we're at least a part of the conversation, and talking about the science. Colorado is a great place in terms of the regulatory environment and that provides some credibility," Christiansen said.
He and Hohmann recently put on and attended a media tour in which Anadarko doled out a day of oil and gas instruction to a group of journalists in thee different drilling sites in southern Weld County. Though intense in terms of time and money, Anadarko gladly puts on such events to foster open lines of communication.
"Whether we're sitting down and visiting, or loading up in the bus and seeing it first-hand, these are the best tools we have available, the most influential tools we have a available to our industry," Hohmann said. "They can be intensive, but they're excellent."
Anadarko is working on creating a video to differentiate the phases of oil and gas operations.
"We're always looking at new ways to tell the story, trying our best to think how that will be digested effectively," Hohmann said. "The stakeholder engagement portion will continue to be a significant investment for us going forward. Aligning the social geology component with operations, that will be something that is absolutely a part of how we do business in each asset area."
