For area girls basketball fans, a top matchup is set for this weekend as Hathaway Brown hosts Solon at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Blazers are 9-3 and are coming off a loss to North Gwinnett, Ga., in the final of the Naples Daily News Shootout in Florida. The Blazers performed well in a national tournament featuring many powerhouses.
"It was a great trip," said HB coach Paul Barlow. "It was a great bonding experience for the girls to get to play in a national level tournament with great competition. A lot of teams were defending state champions. It was fun to get out of Ohio and do something else. I thought we played well."
Solon is 8-2 and is coming off a victory over Stow.
"We played better than we did against Hudson and Huron," said Solon coach Trish Kruse. "We played better."
Solon lost to Hudson in Northeast Ohio Conference play.
"Obviously, we know it's going to be a very tough game," Kruse said. "The girls will be ready to play. They understand it's going to be tough. We're playing a tougher schedule this year so the kids should be ready."
Kruse said the Comets continue to improve.
"We had some bumps in the road," Kruse said. "We're trying to figure out our rotation and how to play with each other."
Solon lost three top seniors from last year's team in Jaime Gluesing, Kristen Low and Amanda Bevington.
"That's been part of the challenge, leadership," Kruse said. "We lost three really good seniors. We're still trying to find the leadership role."
Barlow is pleased with the play of the Blazers.
"I think, at 9-3, with the strength of our schedule, night in and night out playing top level teams, 9-3 is very respectable," Barlow said. "I thought we've played well."
Both coaches talked about the keys to the game.
"They are very driven by Martha Thompson and Kristen Confroy," Barlow said. "Certainly we need to contain those two. I think we have to contain them out on the perimeter and we have to utilize our size.
"They are playing well. They are one of the better Division I teams around."
And Kruse is well aware of the Blazers' size.
"Obviously they have a size advantage," Kruse said. "Our first priority is to control their bigs and get low post position."
HB won't be as big against Solon and not for several weeks as senior post Stephanie Poland broke her right hand in the loss to North Gwinnett. Poland, a 6-foot-4 post committed to Colgate, will miss about six weeks after having surgery. That should mean Vanessa Smith (6-1) and Nia Marshall (6-0) will play inside even more then normal.

Gina Bauman's teenage years were marked by "alcohol and promiscuity," she said. The 40-year-old Winona resident said drinking enabled her to behave in whatever manner attracted attention — particularly from boys.
"When a guy would sleep with me, I felt like he loved me. When a guy wasn't interested in sleeping with me anymore, I felt like he'd stopped loving me. I went looking for another guy who would 'love' me."
Bauman's teenage dependence on physical relationships was the outgrowth of the emotional bonds she lacked at home, she said. Her father was unaffectionate. He saw his main role to be material provider. His interactions with his children were sometimes abusive.
"He would say that I looked fat or I looked like a cow. He was only joking, but he didn't realize how bad it made me feel," said Bauman, adding that as an adult, she's been able to make peace with her father who apologized for his behavior.
Bauman witnessed in her teenage peers the same pattern of behavior that defined her youth. Bauman has also observed such adolecent struggles during her time as a public-school employee.
"Many young women are falling into immorality because they don't have a strong father figure. They seek their worth in boyfriend-girlfriend relationships instead of knowing they have worth apart from guys," said Bauman, who estimated 75 percent of girls struggle with low self-esteem at Gladewater High School, where she worked for two years as a teacher's aide. Such was Barbara Bobo's story also. The Tyler resident said her relationship with her father was distant, a problem exacerbated by her being the middle of seven children. She sought attention from boys in high school and eventually started dating "Eddie."
"I made this young man my god because he gave me the attention I craved," Bobo said.
Bobo and Eddie began a sexual relationship, leading to her pregnancy at age 16. Even after a traumatic abortion experience — which nearly led to her death — Bobo became pregnant again a year later by Eddie. She planned to abort again, but a physician told her she wasn't a good candidate for the procedure.
Bobo said she and Eddie planned to get married, but her plans changed after a rare display of concern from her father.
"A turning point was when my dad said 'Don't marry this man. He won't be good for you,'" Bobo recalled. Bobo listened to her father's advice. She gave birth to her son, Michael in 1970 and raised him as a single mother until she married Keith Bobo.
Danielle Vuke, 27, credits the relationship she had with her father with helping her avoid some of the pitfalls common to teenagers.
"I was always able to pour out some of the most intimate details of my life to my dad. There was never any condemnation or judgment," Vuke said. "He helped me through a lot of tough times that could have scarred me for life."
Vuke said her parents trained her to focus on matters of eternal significance, rather than the temporary satisfaction of dating.
"My dad said that if I pursue God, I will be able to find contentment in God and bypass a lot of the heartache that a lot of girls experience," she said.
Vuke, who interned for two years with Teen Mania Ministries in Garden Valley, Texas, said that her time working with young adult women opened her eyes to how rare it is for girls to have affirming relationships with their fathers.
"I think of my relationship with God as similar to my relationship with my father," Vuke said, noting the high level of openness and honesty of both relationships. "As I'm getting older, I'm seeing more and more how fortunate I was to have such an encouraging family life."

ATHENS, Greece - At SOS Children's Villages, social worker Stergios Sifnios hopes their stockpile of food and clothing will help convince a growing number of desperate young mothers that they don't have to abandon their children.
Sifnios said their caseload of needy families has doubled from last year.
"There's no government social services around to support these people," he explained.
Paraskevi Thoma is a mother of three and unemployed. She has to have assistance.
"When you have three children and you have no job, you're forced to seek aid from somewhere," Thoma said.
Economic Free Fall
Some mothers are simply dropping off their children at orphanages because they cannot afford to feed them anymore.
Greece is on the edge of a free fall. The national debt is now larger than the economy, which has shrunk by 20 percent, and will shrink another 7 percent this year.
At least 67,000 businesses will go bankrupt in 2012 alone. The unemployment rate has reached 24 percent.
Hunger and shortages are spreading. Some are asking if Greece is already a "failed state."
As one Greek journalist put it, the Greek people are "disillusioned, miserable, exasperated and very frightened."
Greeks on the street told CBN News almost universally they think their government is useless.
"Greece is finished…hospitals don't work, nothing works…everything is going bankrupt," Erasmus, an Athens taxi driver, said. "Greece will have to be rebuilt from the ground up."
A Homeless Generation
The crisis is sucking more and more of the middle class into bankruptcy and homelessness.
Leo once enjoyed a successful working career in Athens before the economic crisis killed his business. He lost everything last year.
"I found myself by the end of September in 2011 on the streets, unable to pay rents, unable to pay the rent of the studio, and not having any cash left," he said.
Leo slept on park benches for 45 days before coming to the Klimaka Homeless Center for help.
"We talk about the new homeless generation: people that up until recently, they had a good standard of living," Anta Alamanou, who runs the shelter, said.
Human Desperation
At the Medecins du Monde free medical clinic in Athens, doctors said they're treating more and more members of the middle class who are now unable to get medical care and lifesaving medicine from Greek hospitals.
"We have many people that have come here who have been off their medications for months because they didn't have the means to buy them," Dr. Aspasia Mihalaki told CBN News.
Greece's medical system is breaking down. As hospitals run out of money, they're unable to pay for needed medicine.
Greece reportedly owes pharmaceutical companies one and half billion euros.
Mihalki calls it a humanitarian crisis. She said many of her patients have thought about killing themselves.
"We see a lot of depression and anxiety disorders. Many of them even saying they want to commit suicide," she said.
A Failed State?
While European Union leaders regularly unveil bigger and better bailout plans, there is a growing consensus within the EU that Greece is a "hopeless case" and will have to leave the eurozone.
Most agree that returning to the old currency, the drachma, will turn a bad situation into a catastrophic one.
Economist Panos Tsakloglou said if Greece leaves the euro, he expects chaos.
"The first thing is a bank run, a collapse of the economy, and at least in the first month we will have complete chaos, not only economically but politically, as well," he explained.
Inflation will soar, according to economists, making basic food items scarce and unaffordable. Greek officials have said they fear civil war.
"It is a real possibility that you're going to be walking to a grocery store, and all you're going to find on the shelves in vinegar and salt," former government economic advisor Elena Panaritis said.
"We're not dealing with a failed economy; we're dealing with a failed state," she added. "A governing structure with rules and regulations that is unable to control itself. That's what we're dealing with."
The fear is that Greece's problems are so deep, nothing will be able to stop an eventual economic and social meltdown.

To the Editor:—
The controversy, concerning the treatment of basal cell carcinoma, between surgeons and radiotherapists is not new, but is timely and should be resolved. It is unfortunate that the treatment of such a common lesion should be so controversial and the cause of invective among those responsible for the care of patients. It is no less unfortunate that patients should be exposed to such apparent uncertainty; nor should the patient be placed in the position of having to decide which type of treatment to accept. Most individuals—offered a choice between surgery usually entailing hospitalization and loss of time, and radiotherapy—will prefer the simpler alternative of a few visits to the radiotherapist.Basal cell carcinoma is a common lesion of the face and other exposed parts of the body. It is more common in elderly individuals and is considered to be associated with exposure to the elements—particularly, the sun

Nickolas Galiatsatos, a pizza shop guy in Upper Darby, had a simple plan, according to police.
He allegedly tried to infest competing pizzerias with mice.
The plan, however, quickly unraveled when Galiatsatos, 47, owner of Nina's Bella Pizzeria, tried to slip a bag of mice past two uniformed police officers eating lunch at Verona Pizza around 3 p.m. Monday, authorities said.
"He asked to used the bathroom," said Fanis Facas, 24, co-owner of Verona at 8917 West Chester Pike, adding he had not known that Galiatsatos owned another pizza joint at 8445 West Chester Pike.

The Bolts had just completed a successful season, qualifying for the NJSIAA playoffs and Mike Trout was on the verge of being named our News baseball Athlete of the Season.
Hallenbeck saw potential for more.
I recall a conversation I had with Millville High School baseball coach Roy Hallenbeck back in June of 2007. The words the coach -- who was kind enough to take an interview while out for dinner with his family -- spoke stuck with me.
The Bolts had just completed a successful season, qualifying for the NJSIAA playoffs and Mike Trout was on the verge of being named our News baseball Athlete of the Season.
Hallenbeck saw potential for more.
He spoke of at-bats where Trout just got under a ball or just missed a pitch. Hallenbeck felt that with a little more seasoning Trout could really emerge into a special player.
It seemed like Hallenbeck was asking a bit much considering all Trout had done that season was bat .457, score 35 runs, collect 37 hits, 18 RBIs and swipe 19 bags -- all as a sophomore.
Yet Hallenbeck's words were exactly right.
Over his final two seasons Trout would accomplish things no one at Millville --and in some cases in the state -- has done.
He hit a state record 18 home runs in his senior season and finished with 31 in his career. He finished with a .461 batting despite being continually pitched around. He also collected 87 career walks.
Who could forget last season's playoff game between the Bolts and Cherry Hill West, where the opposing coach had his pitcher intentionally walk Trout three times, including once with the bases loaded, and another occasion that put the tying run in scoring position.
I found the move ridiculous and to some extent cowardly, at the time. Now, I have to consider it smart.
What Trout has been able to accomplish in his high school career is nothing short of remarkable. He became a must-see attraction this spring and turned every game into a pressure situation for both himself and his teammates. Trout never flinched.
He continuously said the pressure made him stronger and the results concur. What it never made him do was think he was above the game. He kept a level head on his shoulders and played the game with a type of appreciation that caught the awe of others.
At the end of his junior season, assistant coach Ken Williams made a comment on Trout that still rings true today.
"He has had tremendous pressure on his shoulders since the day he picked up a bat and ball," said Williams. "He's the same kid now as when I met him. He eats, drinks and sleeps baseball. I know it's a cliche, but he really loves playing the game."
Then there are the words of Hall of Famer, and former Millville baseball coach Tony Surace.
"Beyond his unbelievable athletic ability is the fact he is as grounded as any young man I have ever met," said Surace. "It's a tribute to his mom and dad. He could have strutted around like he was God's gift, but he was always a team guy."
Now Trout is the property of a Major League franchise. The pressure will only get bigger the farther he goes. He will have the weight of being a first round pick and fulfilling the expectations that come with that.
The journey that Trout has taken from Cumberland County does not end with his departure to Los Angeles. In a sense, it's only beginning. The city of Millville should be quite proud. Days like Tuesday don't come along to often.
Then again, neither do players like Trout.

|Peanut Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) - Initial Pilot Study in Adults
|Brief Summary
The goal of this proposal is to produce a new treatment that would benefit subjects who have peanut allergy by lowering the risk of anaphylactic reactions (desensitization), and changing the peanut-specific immune response in subjects who have peanut allergy (tolerance). This is a research study to test stimulation of the immune system to improve peanut allergy. The approach the investigators will use for peanut allergy is called desensitization. A person becomes desensitized to a food by taking small, increasing amounts of the food to help the body become used to the food so that it no longer causes a severe allergic reaction.
The study also looks at the safety and immune system effects of the investigational study product, peanut protein. The word "investigational" means the study product is still being tested in research studies and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This project is designed to study if peanut oral immunotherapy (POIT) will desensitize subjects with peanut hypersensitivity by regulating their oral and systemic immune reactivity and cause long-term tolerance.

Active peanut allergy will be confirmed in all subjects with Double Blind Placebo Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) 2 gm peanut protein oral food challenge prior to entry into the study. Oral desensitization begins with the modified rush. The first dose is 0.1 mg of peanut protein, the dose is doubled every 30 minutes until a maximum of 6 mg of peanut protein. The daily dose will be given at home until the scheduled escalation visit. Subjects return for escalation visits in the Food Allergy Study Center (FACS) every two weeks. The maintenance phase begins once the subject reaches 2300mg. This dose is taken daily. The maintenance phase begins once the subject reaches 2300mg which they take daily at home. All subjects will have a Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) at the end of 18 months of POIT to assess for desensitization.

Who should adopt or be allowed to adopt? Who is legally a parent? What rights do adopted children have? How do we balance the rights of everyone in the triad of adopted child, adoptive parent and birth parent?
Let's start with a story from New York that encompasses all sorts of difficult questions. The New York Times reports how Jonathan Sporn's heart-wrenching case shows the immense gap between modern life and the case law that governs it.
Some states are trying to address the issues raised by the Sporn case. The Salt Lake City Tribune reports a Utah lawmaker is pushing a bill for the sixth year running to allow unmarried and same-sex partners to adopt a partner's child.
Utah also is looking at the idea of making open adoption agreements court-enforceable contracts, the Deseret News reports.
In Nebraska, the Journal Star reports that the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of a birth father who was intentionally misled about the birth of his child.
In Montana, the Billings Gazette notes a court rules that a ranch housing troubled adoptees is not a tax-exempt church ministry.
One of my favorite bloggers, Kristen Howerton at Rage Against the Minivan, posts a USC infographic about adoption in the U.S. Although the stats are from 2007, there is still some interesting information to be seen.
A 14-year-old Ethiopian girl adopted by a family in the Netherlands has worked to get the adoption revoked in Ethiopia, Voice of America reports.
There's a rumor that Russia might cancel its ban on American parents adopting there next month. Russia Today takes a look.
Meanwhile, Russia's commissioner for human rights, Konstantin Dolgov, sent a tweet saying: "British and French parliaments have legalized gay marriage. This reduces the possibility for the citizens of those countries to adopt Russian children." Pravda looks at whether that's the official position.
Two U.S. families caught up in Russia's ban on Americans told Reuters about their joy at finally completing their adoptions.
And The Wall Street Journal notes that the ban led to a notable hour-long look on Russian TV at the touchy issue of children separated from living parents and sent to orphanages for better care.
Huffington Post notes that two U.S. adoption agencies say they are closing down because of increasing difficulties with intercountry adoptions.
In a related note, New York magazine looks at "the foreign-adoption squeeze."

Buckner Children and Family Services, through a program called Bear the Burden, is collecting new stuffed toys for children who have been abused and neglected.
Bear the Burden is designed to draw attention to the plight of abused and neglected children and to provide much-needed new stuffed toys to give children when they are removed from their homes because of suspected abuse.
In April, the toys collected will be presented to agencies that serve these children.
Statistics from state officials indicate that 50,000 cases of abuse and neglect are confirmed annually and another 200,000 are reported but go unconfirmed, said Penny Lemons, administrator of Buckner Children and Family Services of Amarillo.
"Part of our goal at Buckner is to provide a safe haven for abused and neglected children through foster care," Lemons said.
"But our mission is to build strong families and stop the abuse and neglect before it happens."
Lemons said Buckner needs help from churches, civic organizations, schools and anyone interested in promoting Bear the Burden.
The toys given to the children must be new, because of safety concerns.
Buckner officials hope to distribute the stuffed toys to children in the same communities from which they are collected.
For further details, call Buckner or check out its Web site, www.beartheburden.org. Buckner speakers are available for special programs.

Salehoo Review
Do You Want Know Where To Find The Most Profitable Products For Your Ebay Market?....
Basically Salehoo is a wholesale community created by Jimmy Huber to help online sellers or internet marketers alike to find legitimate suppliers who sell products at wholesale price. It has over 5,000 wholesaler and dropshipper companies in its database.
The business model is known as dropshipping, where you can source for products at lowest price and sell them for profits. You then list the products as auctions in eBay or on your own website. The model is more or less like affiliate marketing. Though in the dropshipping business, the products are mainly physical products such as Xbox, PlayStation, iPod, DVD, shoes, clothes, etc
Purchasing goods at wholesale prices on the Internet has always been a dream. Now Salehoo claims to have found the perfect answers to this idea. Salehoo is a website directory of wholesale suppliers and distributors. The categories listed on Salehoo have a retail price as well as the member price listed on it. The idea is as a Salehoo member you can purchase these products at very good wholesale discounts and resell them online on ebay or similar online auction sites or retail stores and pocket the difference.
Now let us see how Salehoo works and does it make sense to become a member. The principle is solid and grounded on the fact that if you know where to source your product at the lowest price then 90% of your work is done. Salehoo has an extensive database of wholesale suppliers who offer ridiculous prices just to generate more business. Once you buy from these "secret' sources then if you can sell them you stand to gain the maximum profit possible.
The concept of Salehoo therefore is easy – get the best deals for yourself and sell them at a good price so everybody benefits by this value for money proposition. The products listed on the website are quite impressive – the latest consumer electronics, designer jeans, jewelry, fashion handbags, computers, laptops, digital cameras LCD & Plasma TVs, DVDs and fashion accessories – the list is almost infinite. More impressive perhaps is the special price mentioned that is ridiculously cheap. They also offer a direct shipping to the customers door.
We all know that overseas products are available at cheap prices. But what we don't know is how to do business with them and how to handle money transactions etc. Salehoo steps in with a guarantee that will identify two cheap sources from China who sell at rock bottom price just because they want to do business with the Western world. The Chinese suppliers listed in their 'secret source' offer secure methods of payment thus putting to rest any worries you may have about financial transactions.
Salehoo also offers worldwide supplier sourcing through their daily updated distributor database. Their live support helps you in finding the right product at the cheapest wholesale price. By sourcing from Salehoo's database of discount wholesale suppliers you can either enjoy the great price yourself and enjoy greater profits by reselling them on online auction sites or to retailers.
As mentioned earlier the concept of Salehoo is based on a solid business principle. It is not rocket science but just shrewd business sense. The cheaper you are able to source your product the more profit you'll be able to make. Testimonials on the webpage vouch for the fact that these products are a real steal at that price.
I have always been a great fan of eBay and other auction sites and I have sold things on there on and off for years. I have made money and I have lost money but since I have become a member at Salehoo I have done nothing but make money. Of course you have to be willing to set the right prices etc, I mean, Salehoo isn't going to do it all for you, but if you have the basic sense then you are going to make plenty of money.

Planning to buy a Blu-ray player? Hold on. It's already battling public indifference, technical problems, laughable features and downloadable movies. Is it any wonder Blu-ray is doomed to fail? Here are five reasons why it's heading for the grave...
1. HD movie downloads
OK so the picture quality's not quite there yet, but Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and others have already seen the future of movie viewing at home – and it doesn't come on shiny 12cm discs.
Instead services like iTunes, Xbox Live and Vudu already offer HD movies over the internet, enabling you to see the movies you want without having to hack down to the video store in the pouring rain.
With fibre-to-home broadband slowly being rolled out in the UK, who knows what the next few years will bring.
Have you seen the demos? BD-Live is a joke. It's a second-rate attempt to offer interactive features that HD DVD did first and much, much better.
It won't work on old Blu-ray players (they don't have the persistent storage) and may not work on new ones: it's not mandatory for Blu-ray player makers to include it in the hardware they sell.
Result? Large doses of confusion and frustration for anyone (un)lucky enough to buy a Blu-ray disc with BD-Live features on it.
3. Samsung thinks Blu-ray is finished
You know, the world's number one consumer electronics maker, Blu-ray stalwart.
Andy Griffiths, director of consumer electronics at Samsung UK, told Pocket Lint that Blu-ray would be dead in five years, and that it certainly wouldn't last 10.
He believes the format will be replaced by either a new kind of physical media – most likely flash memory cards if Toshiba's IFA 2008 keynote is anything to go by – or downloads. Go figure.
4. Sony thinks Blu-ray will be the last optical disc format
Blu-ray is not only finished in terms of spec, but it's also finished as a format. Optical disc technology has gone as far as it can go.
Or so says Take Miyama, Sony product manager for home video marketing in Europe. He told Electric Pig that "in the future, if [our emphasis] we have a physical media format, it will change physically. It won't look like an optical disc."
Talk of a 500GB Blu-ray prototype will only prolong the agony.
Sony has already hinted at its future direction with the launch of Bravia TVs in the US that can directly receive movies streamed over the internet. Blu-ray player not required.
5. DVD is good enough
Despite the fact that Blu-ray movies are expected to hit 12 million sales in Europe this year, they still account for just two per cent of video sales in countries like the UK.
Even by 2012 DVD will still have the edge – and that's according to the Blu-ray Disc Association's own over-enthusiastic predictions [PDF link].
The plain fact is that few of us are ever likely to swap extensive DVD collections for their Blu-ray equivalents, especially when prices for Blu-ray movies and players are still so high.
Given that many cheap DVD players now have some kind of upscaling capability, DVD will prove 'good enough' in terms of picture quality for many years to come.

Who Got The Props?
Back again with another Complex Top 25, this time for the Boot Camp catalog. I was a little hesitant to take this assignment because, unlike with the VH1 Southern Producers lists, my knowledge of the BCC catalog leans superficial. Which is to say I owned Enta Da Stage, Dah Shinin in high school and know a handful of the bigger singles from the same era, but not much beyond that. But one of the nice things about my job is that I sometimes still get paid to learn and learn I did. It turns out that BCC didn't really fall off after 1997, they just turned inconsistent.
But in retrospect I'm not entirely sure if their catalog necessarily demands the 2500 words of intellectualizing/contextualizing that I gave it over there. There wasn't a grand narrative to Boot Camp Clik, with few exceptions ("Therapy") they didn't/don't make idea driven or conceptual music, Da Beatminerz perfected their sound early on and didn't do much to expand or evolve it. They lack the built in folklore of Wu-Tang or the eccentricity of the Native Tongues. Their records aren't unfairly slept on, their members haven't suffered from dramatic personal crisis or made miraculous comebacks. In putting this list together there points where I felt like the entire song could be concisely summed up by just two words: MADD BLUNTED. Or maybe three: MADD BLUNTED, SON. Their music did exactly what it was supposed to and nothing more. This isn't a knock at all, quite the opposite. These are classic and very important underground hip hop records and maybe they aren't as frequently brought into the discussion precisely because they didn't come with those conversation points attached. Which is shame. But you don't need to read or write or argue about them. You just roll up a blunt, nod your head and stfu.
After the jump are a few more Boot Camp youtubes, just random joints that were either cut from the list for space or that I just stumbled upon in the process of compiling it:
Boot Camp Clik – "Niggaz Ain't Ready" (Original)
Smif-N-Wessun – "Gun Rap"
Heltah Skeltah f/ Method Man – "Gunz N Onez"
Smif-N-Wessun – "Sound Bwoy Buriell (Remix)"
Sean Price – "Onion Head"
Flipmode Squad f/ Buckshot – "We Got U Open Pt. 2"

I have some feedback concerning the information provided in the help section regarding the Tie scoring methods for Live Chess Tournaments. While it does in fact state some relative material for the Online Correspondence Chess Tournaments as well as link to a store of information pertaining to the various methods that do exist in general, there does appear to be a common consistency amongst chess.com players, as well as the few staff volunteers that I have spoken with pertaining to this topic, as to the precise formulas used to determined the Tie score in the Live Tournaments.
It may be that many would really love to know the methods and details used as well as have access to a Tie scoring graph or calculator perhaps that might help us determine by what means this score is processed.
Thank you very kindly for you time. - Haesthlin
Is live tie break different than on-line tie break?
I believe that they are different 'wbilfc'. Although the chess.com help files do not mention any methods other than the Neustadtl for the scoring of Tie-breaks across the site (be it Online or Live), it seems in my experience with online tournaments I have been mathematically able to sum up the same numeric score as the site has input in the Tie column. However when it comes to the live tournaments I just cannot make sense of how the score is being calculated! Perhaps a staff member or a creator of this glorious site could assist us in helping to understand this factor of play?
Thank you = ) - Haesthlin
Thank you Haesthlin to ask for that. Also for me it's in the dark side !
I can't understand why they have two!
In other sports like tennis, Tie break appens when equality. First tour for one and second for the other. Then a decisive game ( tie break ) is needed to design a winner ! My interrogation comes from the Holly Heisman tournament : i wan the first tour against an other player and lost the revenge, i was expecting a third game as ( tie break ) but nothing comes. It's an open question with no response at the time ...
Chess.com tie break is quite different, it is a method of apportioning a tie break score when u beat the stronger players in ur group. For on-line ur tie break score is simply the sum total of the points of the opponents u beat plus half the score of the opponents u draw.
Thank you wbilfc to respond to me. And many thanks to Haesthlin to open that question. But what appens of the age of the captain ??? Tie break is still on the dark side ...
Hello wbilfc . In french, when a question is unswared, we ask of the age of the captain. It's a joke ! It's lke to ask for the sex of the angels.
Ok. Got it? :0)
I got it but i don't agree for it. I follow the rules even i think it's stupid !
Why stupid? Seems logical to me.
You guys have totally taken this off topic!! lol

Chuck Hagel Should Stand by Iraq Opposition
When former Senator Chuck Hagel appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday, he will likely be asked his views on the Iraq war. While Hagel voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq, he did so with stated reservations, cautioning his Senate colleagues, "How many of us really know and understand much about Iraq, the country, the history, the people, the role in the Arab world? I approach the issue of post-Saddam Iraq and the future of democracy and stability in the Middle East with more caution, realism, and a bit more humility."

We got selection wrong - Strauss
Watch session-by-session highlights of every T20 and ODI on ecb.co.uk/video
Captain Andrew Strauss admitted England were a seamer short after they slipped to a second successive one-day defeat to Australia in Hobart.
Shaun Marsh hit a fine 110 to help Australia from 142 for eight to a total of 230 on a tricky surface, while number 10 Doug Bollinger contributed a run-a-ball 30 to a crucial ninth-wicket stand worth 88.
England fell some way short in reply, undermined by the loss of regular wickets as they were bowled out for 184 with five overs unused.
Bollinger removed Strauss and Kevin Pietersen with successive balls en route to figures of 4-28 as Australia wrapped up a comfortable 46-run which gave them a 2-0 lead in the seven-match series heading into Sunday's encounter in Sydney.
England selected spinners Michael Yardy and James Tredwell with a view to giving them match practice ahead of the World Cup in the sub-continent, but Strauss accepted that it had been an error.
Yardy's nine overs of slow left-arm cost 61 - albeit including two wickets - while off-spinner Tredwell returned figures of 0-44 off eight overs.
By contrast, opening bowlers Ajmal Shahzad and Chris Tremlett shared six wickets, while fellow seamer Tim Bresnan claimed two.
"You always look back at things when you have lost," Strauss said. "In hindsight, we should probably have got the fourth seamer in our side - that was a mistake.
"The World Cup is in the back of our minds, there's no doubt about it, but we've got to pick the right team for the conditions and we probably didn't do that today.
"We have to look at what we did wrong today. We might not have set the field so far back for Marsh at the start of the powerplay.
"The (biggest regret) is that Doug Bollinger got 30 and put on all those runs with Marsh.
"Ultimately we put ourselves in a good position with the ball and we should have been better with the bat as well."
Marsh, who came to the crease with Australia 32 for four, took the match award for an innings which spanned 114 balls and contained eight fours and two sixes.
Seven England players made 16 or more, but Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell ended a disappointing chase as the joint top-scorers with 32 apiece.
"Shaun Marsh played exceptionally well," said Strauss. "The seam bowlers did a fantastic job and we were in a great position with them eight down, but that partnership between Marsh and Bollinger gave them some very important momentum heading into their bowling stint and it was a poor performance with the bat.
"We still could have chased 230 but we didn't go about it very well. When you are chasing 230 you need one guy to get 80-odd and none of us did that. There we lots of 20s and 30s and ultimately it wasn't good.
"We lost early wickets and none of our batsmen played that anchor role that Marsh did for Australia. The run-rate was creeping up as well, so we weren't as busy as we could have been and that created pressure later on. It was a very poor day."
Trott and Bell seemed to quell the initial threat with a 47-run stand for the fourth wicket, but both fell to loose shots in the space of four overs, Trott pulling a Steven Smith long-hop to midwicket and Bell steering Brett Lee to backward point,
"A lot of us made poor decisions today. There were quite a few soft dismissals," added Strauss, who nonetheless refused to chastise his top order.
"The one thing I'd say is that we aren't in the business of handing out huge recriminations to our batsmen. We want to see them play positively - that's the most important thing for us.
"It's worked well for us in the past and the last thing we want to see is batsmen going into their shells. In that sense it won't be all doom and gloom. We just have to play smart cricket and we didn't do enough of that today."
Strauss denied suggestions that England are struggling to lift themselves for the one-day series on the back of their historic Ashes success.
"I don't think so," he said. "It was just one of those poor days on a slow wicket which forces you to either play aggressively or you are going to build up a lot of dot balls.
"We are going to have to sit down and chat through it and make sure we don't make those mistakes again. We will have to regroup pretty quickly for Sydney."
Meanwhile, Tim Bresnan, who batted with a runner, is due to have his tight calf assessed shortly.

You have low FT4 and low FT3. These could be the cause of your symptoms. I'm just learning about this myself, but I've been directed to a really good website where I suggest you ask the forum there about your results too:

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - The second day of testimony in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse trial featured graphic and sometimes wrenching testimony from the teenager whose accusations launched the investigation and the man who has since become the case's star witness.
Through sobs, an 18-year-old Clinton County man - identified in court documents as Victim 1 - told jurors that the former Pennsylvania State University coach repeatedly performed oral sex on him over a period of years and occasionally demanded his sexual attention in return, telling him at one point, "It's your turn."
And by afternoon, Michael McQueary, a former Penn State football graduate assistant and later an assistant coach, recounted from the stand a tale that has come to epitomize the Sandusky scandal for many.

Ear Infection Health Center
Fever and a Possible Ear Infection
It is not uncommon for a viral upper respiratory infection, such as a cold, to be present with a fever that lasts for 24 to 48 hours. Fever that occurs on day 3 or 4 of an upper respiratory infection may be caused by an ear infection. This is especially true if your child has other symptoms, such as fussiness, sleeplessness, or decreased appetite.
Fever may be a sign of an ear infection when:
- Other symptoms, such as ear discomfort, ear rubbing, or pulling at the ears, are severe or do not go away.
- Cold symptoms cleared up but other symptoms, such as fever and ear pain, are still present.

So I get up in the morning like most people do
I look in the mirror and I think of you
So I smash it to pieces and go downstairs
I walk down the road and meet someone I knew
It could've been god but I think it was you
So I forget all about it I don't really care
I remember the face, the place, the time
I wrote you a song but it didn't rhyme
But I don't wanna remember
I Just wanna forget
An advert on telly for plastic goo
The dummy's so real it could almost be you
But it smiles all the time and it doesn't exist
Crashed out in the gutter covered in spew
Last thing I remember is a picture of you
But I smashed it last week when I was pissed

The Truth About Performance Pay for Teachers
If someone offered you $15,000 if for dramatically boosting your job performance, would you do it?
For teachers, the answer appears to be no, at least according to a recent, and widely reported, study out of Vanderbilt University. But the real answer for teachers might actually be yes, if the bonuses are accompanied by thoughtful training and dedicated support.

Almost no one leaving AT&T for iPhone on other U.S. carriers
0. phoneArena 16 Nov 2011, 12:40 posted on
Just a year ago the internet was agog with complaints about the iPhone's exclusivity to AT&T. Yet in the months sense AT&T has not seen an uptick in their churn rate...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I was waiting for it and there it is ^^. I was thinking that it might, just might, be possible to get through a single thread without an Android/iPhone battle, but nope. Someone had to go and piss all over the walls when noone was looking.

cupcake.. are you a VZW sales rep.. in FL? :)
39. dasanman69 (Posts: 14; Member since: 11 Sep 2009)
Its very simple, most are still in contract with ATT, and won't switch because VZW now has tiered data plans.
44. warlockz (Posts: 156; Member since: 10 Oct 2011)
Of course they not leaving they are stuck with their contracts lol
47. christianqwerty (Posts: 467; Member since: 05 May 2011)
i am grandfathered in the unlimited data for At&t ( i use about 6 GB a month) and my phone isnt even 4g(HSDPA+) or $G LTE. Its about 1-2 mpbs , cant complain, and the coverage is pretty good, at&t is improving, and i like it.
55. hepresearch (unregistered)
Ah, yes... my unlocked Nokia E75 on AT&T in Southern Pennsylvania, with HSDPA 3.6 at full bars everywhere I went in all of York County... even in my basement. That was my best year... ah, the mobile phone nostalgia!
57. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
I never left AT&T and never own a Iphone just waited for the perfect time to get a good Android phone
65. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
They have a few great choices now.
63. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I guess it is the unlimited data plans quite a few of these people might have, I burned through 37gb last month w/ Verizon, it is addictive.
64. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Well, the wife left AT&T for Verizon - iphone 3GS to iphone 4S - she had a business discount account and AT&T did not allow an upgrade to 4S - she cancels both lines and calls AT&T to advise that the user of the other line is deceased and the rep waives both ETFs. Her ETF was not the 325.00 advanced device variety, but still that was nice of the rep. Looks like I get a nice 4G LTE phone by Feb.
BTW, AT&T has been doing an outstanding job. In my home now, I get at least 3 bars of service. My buddy bought that PORN phone, the HTC VIVID, and on speedtest.net he netted 13.5 mbps download....that is smoking! I hope I get that when I make the switch from my captivate.
67. belovedson (Posts: 988; Member since: 30 Nov 2010)
this article is came out too quickly we have to wait until the etf's is over for the 4 owners before we can come to the conclusion that att has retained its customers.
anyone with any pocket sense will pick the cheapest to performance option. if sprint can maintain unlimited data and find a way to expedite lte expansion and 3g expansion in the form of building penetration provided by the 800ghz spectrum before the etf.
i am confident we will have an influx of new subscribers. i would like sprint to rollout the data usage by avg data phone users compared to verizon and att. I am sure it will be shocking to find out how much data we sprint users are actually using.
i avg around 6-7gb a month and no i don't abuse the data. how much do you use?
70. Jobes (Posts: 364; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
I'll stick with and enjoy my 33mbps dl and 13 mbps up :) booyakasha! Burn through the gigs like my life depended on it.
72. Boom89 (Posts: 2; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
I will still agree that AT&T is the worst carrier to use an iPhone on, ask the Manager at the Portland, OR Apple store in the mall. He seems to agree!

North Adams Man Arrested in Rash of Dumpster Fires
|Scott Baker
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Police say they have caught an a man believed responsible for nearly a dozen trash container and other fires over the past month.
Scott Baker was arrested on Sunday and charged with eight counts of burning a personal property (a Dumpster) and two counts of burning leaves.
The investigation began Sept. 25 when a trash container behind the North Adams Juvenile Court on Center Street was set on fire — continued to be set on fire on a weekly basis.
There were also two additional incidents on Friday, Halloween, during which piles of leaves were set on fire behind the North Adams Public Library and the old Notre Dame Church on East Main Street. The trash container behind North Adams Juvenile Court was also set on fire the same night.
Baker was apprehended based on video surveillance of the trash container behind the North Adams Juvenile Court. He was noticed walking on Ashland Street by officers shortly after the fire was extinguished. Baker was wearing the same clothes upon apprehension as he was when he set the trash container on fire, said police.
Baker is being held on $1,040 cash bail and will be arraigned in Northern Berkshire District Court on Monday.

North Adams Apartment Fire Forces Families Out
|A fire in a back unit of a Loftus Street apartment building forces five families from their homes.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Five families were forced from their homes on Sunday afternoon after the rearmost unit in a River Street apartment building caught fire.
Crystal Fitzpatrick, who had lived in the back unit with her three daughters since March, said she was at the market when her teenage daughter, Karizme, called to tell her their home was on fire.
"I had to ask someone for a ride," she said. "I got there and it was full of smoke. I dropped everything and started throwing water at the wall."
Fitzpatrick and Karizme were able to get out of the apartment with their rabbit. The two younger girls, Serenity and Destiny, were at a friend's house. Two hamsters on the first floor were rescued unharmed but much of their belongings were likely lost, including a cache of Christmas presents, according to the girl's grandmother, Eddine Fitzpatrick.
Fire Director Stephen Meranti said firefighters responded to the smoke alarm activation, which came in at about 3:13 p.m., and were informed en route that there was confirmed smokes and flames coming from the building at the corner of Loftus and River streets. All off-duty firefighters were called in.
Firefighters found a blaze on the first floor had moved up the wall into the attic area in the back unit of the two-story structure. The older balloon construction with no fire stops and little insulation helped the fire spread through the back exterior wall.
"It was a quick response and an aggressive attack," Meranti said, that contained the blaze before it could spread to adjoining apartments and close by buildings. "These guys did a great job."
Firefighters brought in hoses through the first floor and used the ladder truck to ventilate the ceiling, leaving a large hole in the roof. The adjacent apartment was also entered but was determined to be safe.
The unit received extensive water and smoke damage, although firefighters did what they could to cover the items in side.
River Street was closed between Veazie and Brown streets for several hours; North Adams Ambulance Service, the Wire & Alarm Division and health inspector were also on scene. A fire watch is in place at the building.
Crystal Fitzpatrick believed the fire may have been electrical because it was in the wall; she said she had been having problems with some of the outlets. Meranti said the cause had not yet been determined and that it was under investigation. The building is owned by Michael Deep, who also was at the scene.
Tenants gathered outside the building in the chilly temperatures, several without overcoats or proper footwear because of how quickly they had fled the building. Karizme Fitzpatrick was wrapped up on the ground in a sleeping bag with her bunny, Foo-foo, to keep warm.
"The whole thing was smoking," said Eddine Fitzpatrick, as she comforted Karizme and her mother. "She's afraid everything's gone."
Fitzpatrick said she had had the two bedrooms for the girls redone and expected that all their clothing, if not burnt, was now severely damaged. The Christmas presents stashed in the attic by the chimney were likely gone, too, she said.
Power was cut to all the apartments and tenants were expected to be helped tonight by the Red Cross. Mingling around in the chill wind, they hugged each other in commiseration and wondered what was next.
"Why do these things happen to us when we're working so hard to get ahead?" wondered one woman.

Two Students Arrested at Different Schools with Loaded Weapons
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A high school student and a college student were found with loaded weapons this week after each created a disturbance at their respective campuses.
On Tuesday night, a Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts student was arrested at the North Adams campus after becoming belligerent during an evening class. Chris LaFrance, 25, was allegedly intoxicated when campus police pepper sprayed him; upon arresting him, police said they found a loaded handgun on his person. While reportedly licensed to carry a firearm, LaFrance is facing a number of charges related to the incident and the public school where he had been training was apprised of his arrest and terminated his participation.
Pittsfield school officials say a Taconic High School student was arrested Thursday morning for creating a disturbance and a loaded gun was found on his person.
At no point was the weapon made visible to any student or staff member at Taconic, according to officials.
The Taconic administration said it is working with the Pittsfield Police Department to further investigate the matter.
"Principal Vosburgh and his staff followed Pittsfield Public School safety protocol to the letter. School administration and Pittsfield Police effectively took all appropriate measures to efficiently address the situation and safeguard the school community," said Mayor Daniel Bianchi in a statement. "I am confident in Dr. McCandless' leadership and the professionalism of school staff as we continue to collaborate with community partners."
McCandless, Pittsfield Public Schools superintendent, said safety protocols are in place at all schools and are practiced regularly. The school community and parents will be kept informed, he said.
"The safety and concern of our students is the highest priority. All schools in the district have safety response protocols and procedures in place. Families are encouraged to partner with the school administration regarding any information that could be of assistance to help continue to maintain a safe and secure environment," according to a press release from City Hall.

Williamstown Investigating Rash of Business Break-ins
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Police Department is investigating a series of break-ins at businesses on Water Street and Main Street that occurred late Friday or early Saturday morning.
Town Manager Peter Fohlin was asked about the crime spree at Monday's meeting of the Board of Selectmen.
"I didn't mention it [in the Town Manager's Report] because I don't usually comment on cases under investigation," Fohlin said in response to a question from Selectman Hugh Daley. "But what you said is true. Chief [Kyle] Johnson tells me they have a person of interest."
According to reports received by iBerkshires.com, businesses affected by the break-ins include U:A Fine Hair Studio, the American Legion, Redstone Properties and Hot Tomatoes on Water Street and Olympic Pizza on Main Street.
The perpetrators apparently broke windows or jimmied doors to get into several buildings. One of the building owners believed the target had been cash since electronics and other items had reportedly been left behind.

Inaugural Jinkerson Scholarship Scramble to honor Dr. JinkersonPosted April 05, 2013
On Friday, April 19, the Jinkerson Scholarship Scramble event will honor the memory of Dr. Darryl Jinkerson, former associate professor of management at ACU, by combining his passions for study abroad programs and golf. Jinkerson had served on the faculty in ACU's College of Business Administration for 10 years when he died suddenly Oct. 12, 2012.
The scramble will begin at 8:30 a.m. It includes a day of golf and dining at the Abilene Country Club. Proceeds will benefit the Darryl and Cindy Jinkerson Study Abroad Scholarship Endowment, created to honor Jinkerson and his wife as part of ACU's Partnering in the Journey scholarship campaign.
Jinkerson was committed to engaging students globally through study abroad programs in a variety of countries. He was named ACU's Director of Global Initiatives in the summer of 2012 and was actively engaged in refining existing programs and creating new opportunities for students. Jinkerson led groups of students on study abroad trips to Honduras; China; Oxford, England; and Australia.
The tournament fee includes breakfast, lunch, green fee, range balls and golf cart rental. Registrants may sign up individually or as a foursome. Fees will be collected via check or by credit card or debit card (a 2.75% convenience fee may apply) during check-in on the morning of the tournament. The student tournament fee is $75 and the non-student fee is $100.

Rational Pastry Cream
I've been using some of Michael Ruhlmans' rational (as "in the form of ratios" but meant as a double entendre) recipes to prepare a few of the basic (as in foundational) things that I've been cooking. Last night I made Pastry Cream or as they call it in Hati, Montreal and even in France, "Crème pâtissière."
While some folks might be inclined to shove their faces into the pot and siphon this sweet densely textured, highly aromatic of super premium conflict-free Indonesian artisan-grown vanilla bean (I'm kidding, I've no idea where the beans came from.), I plan to use it to fill profiteroles once it has been loosened up with whipped cream.
Here is Ruhlman's recipe. It is essentially the same recipe for pastry cream that appears in Ratio except that I included the weight of the cornstarch (he gave volume measure : 6TBS) and the technique used to combine it with the other ingredients (He suggests making a slurry, I beat it into the egg and sugar mixture dry).
All ingredients are weighed except the vanilla bean.
milk 8 z
heavy cream 8z
vanilla bean, split* 1 each
Sugar 4z
Egg yolk 4z
Cornstarch 1.75 z
Butter 2z
1) combine milk, cream and vanilla bean in sauce pan and heat to approx. 190 degrees F
2) beat/ whisk sugar, then cornstarch into egg yolk
3) beat/whisk approx 6 fl oz hot milk into yolk mixture
4) combine remaining milk with egg, return to pot, put on low-medium fire and stir with wooden spoon/paddle until thick
5) whisk in butter
6) store in container with plastic film or parchment applied directly to surface to prevent skin from forming
*split along the long axis/lengthwise so the seeds will spill into the mixture

Having been trained in classical pastry, I bemoan the fact that the use of pure Crème Pâtissière has gone out of fashion. Most pastry chefs now lighten the load, just as you are doing, with a little whipped cream, the combination of which is known as Crème Chiboust.

I make creme chiboust regularly. I have a regular craving for st. honoré cake and it is indeed warm italian meringue mixed with creme patisserie. Usually you whip italian meringue intil it cools but not while making chiboust cream.

A second mosquito has tested positive in Dauphin County for the West Nile Virus.
West Nile Virus: What you need to know
It was found in Middle Paxton Township. The other positive was found in Lower Paxton Township last month.
West Nile experts say the best thing you can do to prevent the spread of the virus is to get rid of standing water at your home, where mosquitoes can breed.

Woman killed in hit-and-run crash in Brevard County on A1A
Body found by passerby
Troopers are investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash in Brevard County after a 34-year-old Cocoa Beach woman was found dead.
The woman's body was found on the northbound side of A1A near 33rd Street.
The body was found by a passerby about 7:20 a.m., according to Florida Highway Patrol.
Investigators said it was clear the woman was hit by a 2011 Dodge Caravan because of a part found at the scene. Officers said they believe the driver had to know he or she ran into a person.
Investigators said they have a tip that may lead them to a driver. They hope to make an arrest soon.
Officials said they know the woman's identity but are having a hard time finding information about her and have yet to notify her family.

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced that Santana received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for Formestane, a performance-enhancing substance, in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The suspension of Santana, who is currently on the roster of Class A Hickory of the South Atlantic League, is effective immediately.
Fromestance is an "estrogen control agent" that reduces excess estrogen in the body by blocking the production of it. Typical results include lean muscle and strength gains, fat loss and increased libido.
Santana signed with Texas as an undrafted free agent, debuting with the organization's Rookie-level affiliates in 2007. He's spent each of the past three seasons at Class A, earning South Atlantic League Player of the Week honored last Aug. 24 with Hickory.
The 21-year-old Loma De Cabrela, Dominican Republic native was batting .260 with 11 homers and 46 RBIs in 75 games with the Crawdads this year.
Santana's suspension comes a day after MLB announced it had disciplined three players, retired journeyman outfielder Jon Weber, free-agent pitcher Guido Gomez and Dodgers' Dominican Summer League pitcher Wilmer Colmenarez. Weber, who retired last weekend, was banned for 100 games after testing positive for a third time.

Making education relevant in the 21st century
Monday, June 23, 2014
There was a time in the not-so-distant past that a strong back, able hands and a good work ethic ensured a worker could enjoy a middle class life in America. Not so, anymore: What technology hasn't consumed in jobs, cheap overseas labor has. That leaves today's student facing a very different world from their pr…

There's a trippy quality to the new animated feature, "Rango."
We open with a talking chameleon (Johnny Depp), who's trapped in a square terrarium and interacting with inanimate objects. (Cubicle life, anyone?)
After an accident, his glass enclosure is knocked out of a car and broken on a desert highway. The chameleon finds himself alone, except for Roadkill (Alfred Molina), who advises our hero to follow his story into the desert.
He comes to a small town "peopled" with creatures who dress like they're straight out of a "Spaghetti Western." The chameleon sees the chance to re-invent himself, so he takes the name Rango and bluffs his way into a sheriff's job.
The town of Dirt is in the middle of a water shortage. Good folks are losing their land. The only critter with access to H2O is the Mayor (Ned Beatty), and he doesn't seem interested in sharing.
Before long, Rango is asked to back up his bluff and bluster with actual deeds.
To add another trippy twist, our hero is followed by a Hispanic Greek chorus that musically predicts Rango's doom throughout the movie. The Hispanic Greek chorus gets a bit more confused with each adventure our hero manages to survive.
Written by John Logan, the dialogue has a fast and loose quality, even during a couple of early exchanges that might send some – your reviewer included – to a dictionary. The movie doesn't talk down to kids, and I think most will understand the context of those scenes.
"Rango" has moles riding bats, a rattlesnake with a machine gun for a rattle and the official golf cart of the Old West. It's a complete hodgepodge of creativity that somehow works.
Director Gore Verbinski deserves a tip of the 10-gallon hat for this loopy movie about a hero who learns the real world is far bigger and better than he ever suspected.
I give "Rango" an A.
It's showing at Malcos in Tupelo, Oxford, Corinth and Columbus, as well as Hollywood Premier Cinemas in Starkville and Movie Reel 4 in New Albany.
Look for movie reviews in Scene on Thursdays, and listen each Tuesday morning on Wizard 106.7 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.
Wizard review
Roadkill Bill with Wizard 106.7 gives "Rango" a C.
"Visually, it was nice to see. It had its moments, but I'm not going to rush out and buy it on Blu-ray when it comes out.
