Portland police have charged the 18-year-old driver of a vehicle that rolled over multiple times this evening south of Oregon Health and Science University.
Cody Schacht has been charged with two counts of fourth degree assault, three counts of reckless endangerment and a count of reckless driving, according to a news release.
The rollover occurred at about 5:25 p.m. at Southwest Barbur Boulevard and Hamilton Street.
Traffic Division investigators determined that speed was possibly a factor but did not find evidence of driver impairment, the news release says.
Four people, including the driver, were taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.

The graduating seniors were awarded the annual Linowitz Citizenship Prize, which usually goes to just three students, but was granted to additional students this year because the caliber of work was so high, according to Marc Linowitz, president and chairman of the Rose and Louis H. Linowitz Foundation. Presentations were made last night at the high school.
"The judges had a really difficult time picking the winners, and in fact there was a tie for fourth place," Linowitz said.
Nordia Bennett, class president, won first place and $2,500; class vice-president Arelys Cordero took second and received $1,500; third-place winner Michael Ortiz was awarded $1,000; and Barry Johnson Jr. and Montaniz Stills tied for fourth place and received $500 each.
"I'm happy, extremely happy because I have to pay $4,000 for school and this is going to go a long way," said Ortiz, who will be attending Wesleyan University in Connecticut in the fall.
The students were nominated by a teacher, guidance couselor, administrator, coach, clergyman, or any other adult who was familiar with their citizenship work, and the students had to submit an essay about what citizenship is and why they are a good citizen.
First and second place winners Bennett and Cordero were both nominated by their AP U.S. history teacher William Pyper.
"Nordia does a lot of volunteer work with her church and is class president," he said. "Her scholarship is excellent."
Bennett will be attending Denison University in Ohio in the fall.
Cordero will be entering the honors program at Essex Community College this fall. She is currently ranked in the top five students in her graduating class.
"Her service work is outstanding," Pyper said. "They're great kids. They exemplify everything you want."
The five winners also won free admission for themselves and a guest to the Trenton Thunder "Citizenship Day" on Sunday. They will also receive Thunder hats and food vouchers.
The Linowitz Foundation was founded in 2002 and the first citizenship prize to Trenton students was awarded in 2010.
"This prize was established in honor of my parents, Rose and Louis Linowitz," said Linowitz, whose parents were residents of the city and requested a charity to improve the lives of Trenton children.
Linowitz himself is a 1967 alumnus of Trenton Central High School.
Cordero's sister, Yulieth Cordero received the first place citizenship prize its first year in 2010 and went on to study at Rider University. Pyper also had Yulieth as a student.
"For the last few years, I've had winners of this award in my class," he said. "This scholarship is really serving these kids well."

With the increase in the level of consumer credit card debt in the US, a large number of people are looking for ways in which they can close the doors on debt without having to get help from a professional agency. As there is a rise in the number of people resorting to the debt settlement advice and debt consolidation help, there's also a simultaneous rise in the number of scam companies that are deceiving the debtors. During such a time if you can make way by selling off your structured settlements and amass wealth to repay your debts, wouldn't that be a great idea? If answered yes, you have to know the exact steps in which you can sell them off. Read on to know about them.
- Contact a reputable structured settlement buyer: There are many structured settlement buyers in the market and your task is to choose the cream of the crop. Shop around and get quotes from various lenders so that you may choose the one that offers you the best price. A reputable and a trustworthy structured settlement buyer who has your best interests in mind will give you enough advice about the idea of cashing them out. They will tell you how to cash out and how much to keep aside for future usage. However, when in debt, you need to have a strong drive to make this entire process successful and live debt free.
- Determine the payout and the debt amount: A reputable settlement company will not cheat you and let you know the exact amount that you may get by selling a portion of your structured settlement. Before selling off the amount, you have to make sure that it is equivalent to the total amount of debt that you've accumulated. Without getting an idea of the exact debt amount, you can't take the decision of how much to sell and how much to keep aside. Restrict your selling so that you have enough inheritance to fall back on in future.
- Trigger your payments and pay off debt: Once the structured settlement buyer agrees to start off with a payment plan, you can also start triggering your debts. As high interest debts have a bad impact on your credit score, you should immediately take steps so that they're repaid. If you plan to get debt settlement advice, you can start making the payments to them or you may also repay your creditors yourself if you don't want to get help of professional companies.http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/
If you consult a financial consultant, they'll always ask you to take certain steps on your own so that you can save your dollars on high fees and service charges. If you have any kind of structured settlement, you can certainly plan to sell them off. Utilize the money that you earn in repaying your debt obligations and build your credit score in the long run.

Mounting Evidence and Monstrosities
There is a new Barna (preeminent poller fo religious folk) out:
Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president this year, received the lowest level of support among evangelicals of any Republican presidential candidate since Bob Dole in 1996, according to a report by Barna Group, a Christian polling organization.
Romney received the support of 81 percent of evangelicals, compared to 88 percent for John McCain in 2008, and 83 percent and 85 percent, respectively, for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. Only Dole received a lower level of evangelical support at 74 percent in Barna's polling.
Fascinating and quite different from other polls we have seen. Why the difference?
In the National Election Pool, an evangelical is simply one who self-identifies as evangelical or "born again." For Barna, an evangelical is defined by a set of theological beliefs.
That's going to make a big difference – AND it is quite informative. I have not had a chance to go into this in detail, but what it would indicate, pending such detailed examination, is that people who take their faith more seriously, that is to say serious enough to be able to enunciate some theological principles, shied away from Romney. This is in line with our comparison of Romney's vote to the conservative vote for social issues.
These data all pulled together strongly indicate a significant bias against Romney amongst voters of faith – certainly enough to have spelled the difference in an election this close.
Against a Bill Clinton, or any other more moderate Democrat, this would not be as ugly as it is, but under these circumstances, I find this horrifying. Consider this story, I ran across from the Anchoress:
Even after Marie Freyre died alone in a nursing home 250 miles from the family in North Tampa that loved her, Marie's mother had to fight to bring her home.
In March 2011, state child protection investigators took 14-year-old Marie from her mother, Doris Freyre, claiming Doris' own disabilities made it almost impossible for her to care for Marie, who suffered from seizures and severe cerebral palsy. But a Tampa judge signed an order that Marie be returned to her mother, with in-home nursing care around the clock.
Florida health care administrators refused to pay for it, although in-home care can be demonstrably cheaper than care in an institution. Child welfare workers ignored the order completely.
Two months later, Marie was strapped into an ambulance for a five-hour trip to a Miami Gardens nursing home, as her mother begged futilely to go with her.
Marie died 12 hours after she arrived.
This administration, with its enormous disregard for the rule of law and bloated view of government, has created an environment in which one agency could elect to defy a judge in such a heinous and ugly fashion. This administration! – now allowed a second term apparently by a group of people that felt theological differences matter, more than these sorts of things. What I find most shocking is the lack of faith in God – it is as if they did not think God could act through Mitt Romney even if his beliefs were different as compared to the actions of this president which are clearly out of line with reason, the rule of law, and in some cases common decency – all values upheld by faith.

WASHINGTON - A new House water resources bill contains many of the same provisions designed to accelerate Army Corps of Engineers projects in a bill passed by the Senate last May. But there are significant differences, including elimination of a major hurricane protection project for Louisiana.
The bill, released Wednesday by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, doesn't include authorization for the 98-mile-long, $10.3 billon Morganza to the Gulf hurricane levee system designed to project Houma and surrounding communities from storm surges. In May, the Corps said the project is "economically justified, environmentally acceptable and engineeringly sound" and it was included in the Senate water resources bill.
But it didn't make the House list. Louisiana has no members on the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee that drew up the bill. A committee staffer said that the high cost of the long-delayed project was a factor.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., denounced the omission and said, if she could, she would shut down the oil rigs until the project got restored.
"I'd turn the lights off in Washington and in New York and in Maine," Landrieu said in an angry Senate floor speech Wednesday. "We are tired of it. The people in our state cannot survive without levees and the country can't survive without our people living where we go to fish, to run the maritime, to run the oil and industry. And Houma, Louisiana, does not deserve this. Terrebonne Parish doesn't deserve it. And our delegation is not going to stand for it."
"We have waited 20 years for this project," said Landrieu, adding that it has been fully vetted by the Corps and local residents and businesses have agreed to provide required local funding.
Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, Landrieu's Senate opponent in 2014, said he would fight to get Morganza to the Gulf authorization restored into the WRDA bill
"The process is not yet over. I will continue to push to have it included in the final version of the bill," said Cassidy who praised some Corps of Engineers reforms included in the House water resources bill.
Aides to Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who helped draft the Senate bill that includes the Morganza to the Gulf project, expressed confidence the bill that finally emerges will include the project. Some Louisiana officials call Morganza to the Gulf the state's most important remaining flood protection project for Louisiana.
The Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2013 legislation introduced Wednesday by the bipartisan leaders of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee includes many of the same provisions of the Senate-passed bill.
It sets a three-year deadline for the Corps to complete studies, as well as a $3 million cost limit. It eliminates duplicative studies and streamlines required environmental review. It doesn't include a provision in the Senate bill that imposes financial penalties on agencies that miss deadlines. (Money would be transferred to other government entities to complete stalled studies).
The House bill, like the Senate bill, allows authorization of the Louisiana Coastal System Ecosystem Restoration Projects by the Corps of Engineers.
The big difference between the House and Senate bills is the House bill takes away authority from the White House Office of Management and Budget to review projects approved by the Corps of Engineers chief engineer, in effect, giving more authority to Congress, according to House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster, R-Pa.
"WRRDA 2013 is the most policy and reform focused legislation of its kind in the last two decades," Shuster said. "The bill contains no earmarks and makes major programmatic reforms to increase transparency, accountability, and Congressional oversight of federal water resources development activities. Most importantly, WRRDA is about jobs and improving America's competitiveness."
Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Ohio., said the bill changes the way the Corps of Engineers does business.
"We have been literally studying infrastructure projects to death," Gibbs said. "While it once took the Corps three to five years to complete a study, it has become normal for this process to take 10 to 15 years. WRRDA cuts the red tape, streamlines reviews, and accelerates the lengthy process, saving us precious time and money and allowing infrastructure improvements to move forward."
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Vitter, R-La., who together drafted the Senate water resources bill, both welcomed introduction of the House bill. Once the House bill passes the House, a conference committee would be appointed to work out differences between the two bills.
"It's certainly encouraging to see the House advance their version of this important bipartisan legislation," Vitter said. "Their efforts should lead to getting a final version, including the important provisions I passed in the Senate, done by years end."

text: Started taking the Ecotec out of the Astra today. First the wiring loom, what a nightmare getting the Ecu out. Some smart *** rivited the ecu to the black casing in the footwell up under the dash. The other problem was that the ecu multi plug is under the ecu. I couldn't get it past the ecu so i could take it through the hole in the bulk head. Disconnected all the coolent pipes, downpipe and exhaust. So tomorrow the engine will be out and the rebuilt C20 LET in. Will hopefully just have the wiring to do on Sunday then running in period.

In the middle of the building, abruptly, all that sound became a hush.
"Beautiful," said Don Case, 84, a World War II veteran from Oswego. "This is something, once you see it, you'll remember it for the rest of your life."
He was speaking of the fair's sand sculpture, usually a gentle celebration of life in New York. This year, for the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the sculpture is a monument to solemnity. It depicts the New York City skyline as it used to be, including the illuminated forms of the twin towers. Several firefighters are portrayed as they raise a flag amid the ruins of the World Trade Center. An eagle dominates the rear of the sculpture, and the emblems of many public safety agencies are chiseled into the sides.
Yet the memorable image is that of a firefighter, face invisible, head bent in grief.
"I was in the towers before they were attacked and I went to see the hole that was left after Sept. 11," said Terry Hanson, of Cicero, explaining why she stopped. "If you ever saw them, if you'd been inside them, if you remember how big they were, how tall they were, and what was done to them ..."
She let the sentence end. The sculpture made her point.
David Phillips and Angela Ayres, who brought their children to the fair, said they were stunned by the demeanor of spectactors who approached the memorial.
"Let's face it: We're from New York, and New Yorkers are known to be rude, and a lot of people at the fair can be rude," said Phillips, of Cortland County. "But look at this!" He gestured, incredulous, toward a reverent and courteous circle of men, women and children, all of whom kept making room for any stranger who wanted to take a cell phone photo of the sculpture.
The tribute was created by Patrick Harsch and Daniel Belcher, artists with Team Sandtastic of Florida. Company owner Mark Mason estimates that 180 tons of wet sand went into construction, which cost about $17,000. While the fair already has a permanent monument to the Sept. 11 attacks, administrators felt the anniversary demanded its own statement.
"As lighthearted as we want the fair to be, we also knew that we attract close to a million people in New York, and we wanted to recognize the sacrifice of all those who gave their lives or suffered on 9/11," said Troy Waffner, assistant fair director.
Harsch, reached by telephone in New York City, said the sculpture took roughly nine days to complete. "We knew what this would mean to a lot of people," he said. While there was no hiding from the pain of that September morning, Harsch vividly remembered how the attacks also galvanized the nation, at least for a while. He and Belcher tried to make a statement of cohesion in the heart of a diverse and complicated state.
The biggest challenge was creating a tribute that felt appropriate within the raucous, honky-tonk nature of the fair.
"It works," said Chris Burke of Onondaga,whose endorsement is as important as it gets. Burke viewed the sculpture Sunday with his sister, Liz Berry of Syracuse. One of their brothers — fire Capt. Billy Burke — was among 343 firefighters who died at the trade center. Indeed, Chris Burke said he feels the sculpture does a better job of confronting the sacred nature of Sept. 11 than a street-level memorial planned for the site of the towers in Manhattan.
"What's reflected here is not reflected in New York," said Burke, speaking of the grief epitomized by the hidden face of the firefighter. And Burke was especially impressed by the many parents who used the sand sculpture as a vehicle for explaining Sept. 11 to their children.
Scott Sherwood of Syracuse, for instance, picked up sand from the floor and sifted it between his fingers. He wanted to prove to his 8-year-old son, Scott II, that the sculpture was truly made from sand. "I just can't believe it!" the boy replied, while his father gently told him about the loss and heroism intertwined with the attacks.
"I wanted to show him what this means, what it represents," Sherwood said. "I'll tell you what: I was watching (on television) when the second plane hit the towers, and to see this kind of brings back mixed emotions, all the sadness and fear. But it's really important, because what it shows most of all is respect."

The following report was filed by Joe Zedalis of the Trenton Times.
The New Egypt High wrestling program faces a fine and its coach probation after appearing before the NJSIAA Controversy Committee yesterday regarding its forfeit of a state sectional wrestling match in February according to principal Thomas Farrell.
New Egypt forfeited the NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 1 championship to Bound Brook on Feb. 10 after head coach Kevin English, athletic director Richard Carroll and athletic trainer James Sawicki decided it was unsafe for its wrestlers to participate after discovering what it believed were impetigo lesions present on at least two Bound Brook wrestlers.
One of the Bound Brook wrestlers was declared ineligible to wrestle in the Group 1 championships two days later by an independent physician representing the NJSIAA.
The NJSIAA called New Egypt representatives to appear before its committee saying the school violated its sportsmanship rules by leaving a state championship match without participating. Farrell indicated the school will receive written notification of its official sanctions in seven to 10 days.
"We understand the position of the NJSIAA that we violated the spirit of the sportsmanship rule, but we stand by the decision of our staff not to wrestle, because it was in the best interest of our student-athletes and our student body," Farrell said. "The NJSIAA process was very fair and professional. New Egypt is a proud member of the NJSIAA; however, our staff put our school and our students ahead of everything else ... as they should."
Farrell said he received a telephone call from NJSIAA assistant director Larry White Tuesday afternoon, indicating a decision had been reached.
"They didn't clarify what the exact sanctions would be, but it will probably be an undetermined fine and possibly sanctions against our head coach," Farrell said.
"Fortunately, it appears that our program avoided the death penalty, barring it from team tournament competition. At this point, the district feels this matter is over, and we are ready to move forward. At this point, it is in our best interest to abide by the NJSIAA decision."
New Egypt made the 50-plus-mile trip to Bound Brook for the match. However, during weigh-ins, New Egypt officials noticed what they believed were impetigo lesions on two of the Bound Brook wrestlers. Bound Brook officials produced documents from three different doctors that cleared the wrestlers for participation. Bound Brook contends it offered to hold the two wrestlers out of the match, a point New Egypt contests.
"Our wrestlers were on the bus, and our parents had already left the building when that offer was made," Farrell said. "If those two wrestlers were held out, we would have wrestled. In hindsight, that may not have been the best decision, either."
The match went into the records as a 74-0 shutout win for Bound Brook. The Crusaders went on to win the NJSIAA Group 1 title without one of the wrestlers. New Egypt went on to win the District 25 team title.
Farrell noted one of the reasons for New Egypt's decision was that the school shut its wrestling program down for 10 days in January after an outbreak of impetigo and ringworm of its own. New Egypt was one of nine programs in Central Jersey that shutdown during the season for an outbreak of a skin infection at the advice of school physicians. Jackson Memorial was No. 1 in New Jersey when it shut down for five days."We simply did not want to bring it (impetigo) back to our building," Farrell said.
Bound Brook, however, never shut its wrestling program down despite the impetigo outbreak.
NJSIAA Executive Director Steve Timko told the Home News Tribune the NJSIAA does not require programs to shut down after contracting skin infections, leaving that decision up to individual school districts. All infected wrestlers, however, must follow NJSIAA protocol and gain medical clearance before returning to the mat.
Bound Brook athletic director Rob Nixon told the newspaper Bound Brook did not shut down, because its two infected wrestlers were isolated cases under a physician's care. Nixon said none of the other Crusaders and none of the teams or wrestlers Bound Brook went on to compete against ever contracted impetigo.
"Our district already has a protocol in place," Farrell said.
Timko said the issue of how schools should deal with not wanting to wrestle a state tournament opponent because of skin conditions will be discussed by the association's wrestling committee later this year.
"I think it's pretty clear right now, if this were to happen again, the same type of situation would result again in having another controversies hearing," Timko said.
"The circumstances of the situation made this unique," Farrell said. "We went with every intention of wrestling. We understand the position of the NJSIAA and Bound Brook. We simply acted in the best interest of our kids."

OUR FACULTY have included Pulitzer and National Book Award finalists, an editor of the Norton Anthology of English Literature, a winner of three National Magazine Awards, and the only American named a Life Trustee of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Some live right here in Sewanee; others visit us from as far away as the University of Zurich, as well as Vanderbilt, Boston University, CUNY, The University of Cincinnati, Syracuse, and other campuses, bringing with them lifetimes worth of experience as writers, scholars, and teachers. They teach classes on Faulkner, Dante, and Shakespeare; on African American Literature, Modern Poetry and the Environment, Southern Literature, and the Bible. They teach Latin American and Russian Literature in translation. To make sure our students get the most out of these classroom encounters, we keep our numbers low; around 12 people in a class or workshop, with about 80 in the program as a whole.
The makeup of faculty changes a bit each summer, with our veterans rotating in and out and some new faces appearing every June. It's our way of providing, within the scope of a small program, something of the breadth and depth of a large one. Over the course of their studies our students will get to know many distinguished teachers and hear many voices.

It had to be Kansas. Kansas. Kansas.
Roy Williams may be over the heartbreak and heartache his leaving Lawrence caused in 2003, but it's just getting worse with me. The tweets, emails and blog posts are already out there, claiming that Bill Self has built a better program at KU than ol' Roy has at UNC over the last 10 years.
Statistics don't show that (they're pretty damn even, in fact), but the fact that Tar Heels have now gone home at the hands of the Jayhawks in three of the last six NCAA Tournaments makes it seem that way to a lot of basketball fans.
Both programs have been great all the way back to the Phog Allen and Frank McGuire eras, each having blip periods that caused them to change coaches. But the last 10 years have been basically even-steven, certainly close enough to disavow any notion that one guy has out-coached the other.
Kansas and Self have won more games and have a better record (300-58 for 84%) than Carolina and Williams (282-79 for 78%), but that is largely due to several factors over that 10-year span.
One, Self took over a Kansas team that Williams left in sounder shape than the one Roy inherited from Matt Doherty. Two, the Tar Heels had one dreadful season in the last 10 years, the 20-17 debacle that followed losing four starters off the 2009 national champions. And, three, Carolina's overall pipeline to the pros has been better than Self's at Kansas, which ironically has made it worse for UNC.
Thirteen players have been drafted in the first round during the Williams era, 11 of them who left a total of 17 seasons on the Tar Heel table. Compare that to Kansas under Self, which has produced nine first-round picks, one who left after one year, two who left after two and another two who left after three seasons. If you add Mario Chalmers, the MOP of the 20008 Final Four who was drafted in the second round, the Jayhawks have lost 10 seasons of eligibility in the last 10 years.
As for the NCAA Tournament, Self and Kansas have been there all 10 years but with less results than Carolina and Williams in nine trips. KU has one national championship ('08) and reached another Final Four (2012) and could still improve on those numbers this season. The Jayhawks have gone out in three regional finals, one Sweet Sixteen (and counting), one second round ouster and two embarrassing first-round upsets (Bucknell and Bradley in 2005 and '06).
Carolina under Williams has those 2005 and '09 NCAA titles, one other Final Four and three Elite Eight game goners. Sunday's loss to KU was the third second-round ouster for UNC and Williams, who holds the record of 23 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with at least one victory. Both Self and Williams have won three national Coach of the Year honors at their current schools.
Their conference records are pretty close, with Self winning a few more regular-season and tournament titles in the Big 12 than Williams in the ACC. But, over that 10 years, the ACC has been the better league top to bottom and won three national championships to KU's one for the Big 12.
So don't give me that hoo-ha that Kansas has a better program than Carolina. They are both great. What skews the pooch are those three losses to KU in the three NCAA match-ups, and each one has a story to itself.
At the 2008 Final Four at San Antonio, the Tar Heels were a slight favorite over Kansas after winning both the ACC regular season and tournament and losing only two games all season. But this was the first time Williams faced Kansas, the still-angry KU crowd and all the storylines took away from the game itself.
The Heels played horribly, fell behind by 40-12 in the first half and made a late push that fell short in the 84-68 crusher. Williams (wearing the infamous KU sticker) stayed to watch the Jayhawks win the national championship two nights later, only after Memphis did not foul Kansas with a three-point lead and Chalmers' dramatic bomb sent the game into overtime.
When the 2012 NCAA brackets came out, Carolina was on another collision course with Kansas in the Midwest Regional, hoping to have John Henson back at full strength from the wrist he sprained in the ACC Tournament. Of course, it got worse after Kendall Marshall went down in the second-round win over Creighton. With back-up point guard Dexter Strickland already sidelined by a knee injury, the Tar Heels were left with freshman reserve Stilman White, who played admirably in the 13-point loss to the Jayhawks in St. Louis.
The committee did it again this season, when it was an even worse scenario for Carolina, which lost two sophomores, one junior and one senior from its 2012 starting lineup that when whole was the only serious threat to Kentucky's national championship. And the suits sent the Tar Heels to Kansas City (which is like playing Carolina in Greensboro).
By then, UNC had made the NCAA Tournament only due to perhaps Williams' best coaching job of his 25-year career. Reluctantly, in early February, he scrapped his two low-post offense for a small lineup of four guards and little presence in the paint. The Heels launched and made enough three-pointers to turn their season around and get another NCAA bid, but they went to the Dance living by the long bomb, which was enough to give Williams the hives.
And, yes, they died that way, shooting barely 30 percent for the game and giving in to Kansas' best half of the tournament thus far. So Carolina under Williams is 0-3 against KU and Self. And, since they will never play in the regular season by mutual consent, it will stay that way until the next time they meet in the NCAA tournament.
With at least five guys 6-9 or bigger next season, Williams will go back to the way he likes to play and, sooner or later, he'll see his old school again. The NCAA committee seems to like that kind of theater for TV.
Even though, as of this moment, we hate it.

This week, I expressed frustration about a current narrative going around town, one that poses the question, "Has Chapel Hill lost its mojo?" I countered that the question shouldn't be have we "lost our mojo," but have we lost our "mojo ambassadors?"
But it's not fair for me to wonder where our ambassadors are, without putting my money where my mouth is. So, here's the beginning of an independent study in How To Becoming Ambassadors from the County of Orange, no political fundraising or foreign language study required.
In discussing how we explore and show off how cool Chapel Hill is, I spoke with a couple of members of the Chapelboro crew about how we could talk about "what to do in Chapel Hill" with different groups. Like "what to in Chapel Hill with your in-laws," or "what to do in Chapel Hill with a precocious pre-teen." And the news director of a certain radio station offered, "you know, like what to do with people from Kansas."
Yes! People from Kansas! Turns out my dad is one of those people. Born in Emporia and schooled in Topeka and Lawrence, my dad eventually found his way to the southern part of heaven. (Former UNC provost Bernadette Gray-Little did the reverse of that journey.)
Although not a Jayhawker myself, this is my humble attempt to give a quick primer for those who have emigrated from the Sunflower State to the Old North State:
Arbor Day Every Day: Every time my grandma Vesta (yes, her name really was Vesta) came to visit, she couldn't stop talking about the TREES. I was young and thought to myself "Geez, they're just trees, Grandma. What's the big deal?" But compared to Kansas' geography, we really do have a lot of trees. So, if you want to take in the shade of a tree, here are some great options:
Carrboro: Tree City, USA, twenty-seven years running.
Coker Arboretum: Arboretum literally means a "botanical garden devoted to trees." Don't miss this on-campus gem. And if you're getting hitched, it's a great photo op.
Davie Poplar: While you're on campus, be sure to stop by this legend-laden tree.
When I was a fourth grader at Carrboro Elementary, we were given an enrichment unit on ornithology, the study of birds. Each of us had to do a special report on a bird, and I thought, Well, I'm going to do my report on the Jayhawk. Well, I'm positive that even younger kids know that a Jayhawk is not a real bird, but if you're interested in pursuing real live birds, Chapel Hill has a lot to offer.
Chapel Hill Bird Club: I had no idea, but the only bird club in the Triangle meets at my church on the fourth Monday of the month.
Mason Farm Biological Reserve: Read more about The Birds of Chapel Hill, or see them for yourself at a natural area accessible through the NC Botanical Gardens.
Wild Bird Center: Maybe you're not feeling as adventurous, and you just want the birds to come to you. Get your backyard birdseed at one of Chapel Hill's diverse and fun commercial centers.
Even before one's feet hit the red clay, most know the reputation North Carolina has for wood-smoked pork. But for anyone hailing from Kansas City (Kansas OR Missouri), he or she skips the East vs. West debate and goes straight for Kansas City-style barbecue. I'll always say you're better off just going to Allen & Son, but if you want to do it Kansas City style, here are your best bets.
Cliff's Meat Market and The Meat House: When I was little, I thought Cliff's sign for "Rabbits Inside" meant he sold baby bunnies, and most folks expect to sit down for prime rib at The Meat House. But these two local butchers are the best places to get your raw material.
Southern Season: Though you just missed their Carolina Sauce Off, this world-renowned gourmet grocery still has everything you could possibly need to baste, marinate, coat, and accompany your meat.
UNC Press: This local publisher gave us the barbecue bible, and tipped me off (via Twitter) to the entity that can help Kansans find the barbecue they crave.
So welcome, ye people from Kansas, (or people from the Midwest, or from really anywhere) – we're glad you're here at The Edge of the Triangle. Come stay a while.
And for the rest of you? Join me in becoming an ambassador. Let's show off our mojo.http://chapelboro.com/columns/what-to-do/people-from-kansas
Well folks, we're almost at the mid-point of the NFL Season and while each of us has experienced some amount of loss along the way, you can take comfort knowing that there is still plenty of time to catch up. Here are some players to keep an eye on if you are not doing so already – they just might help you bring home a "W" in coming weeks.
1. DeMarco Murray (Running Back, Dallas Cowboys)
If you haven't heard his name by now, you're playing the wrong game. Last week against the Rams, Murray set the Cowboys' single-game rushing record, as well as the new rookie record for the NFL, with 253 rushing yards. As if this Fantasy story needed any sweetening, Murray gets to make his first NFL start against the team that allows the most Fantasy points to opposing Running Backs on average than any other team in the league, the Philidelphia Eagles. Even if Andy Reid does pack his usual "post-bye week punch," it would be hard to imagine the Eagles 23rd-ranked rushing defense squashing the productivity displayed by Murray last week.
2. Demaryius Thomas (Wide Receiver, Denver Broncos)
I will keep this short, as there's already too much talk about this 2-4 team. Last week Thomas had 3 receptions for 27 yards and a score, but more importantly he led the team with 10 targets. Imagine if Tebow manages to show up before the 2-minute warning.
3. Montario Hardesty (Running Back, Cleveland Browns)
I had concerns about Peyton Hillis' production before this season began, considering his workload last year, and from the looks of it, so do the Browns. Hardesty carried the ball 33 times last week against the Seahawks for 95 yards and caught 2 for 27 yards. As Hillis creeps closer to IR, Hardesty will emerge as the featured back in Cleveland.
4. Jason Hill (Wide Receiver, Jacksonville Jaguars)
The Jaguars stunned everyone last week when signs of life appeared in their passing game and they upset the Ravens. One of the unknowns to emerge was Jason Hill who had 4 receptions for 62 yards and was targeted 8 times. The most targets seen by any other receiver on the team was 3, so Hill appears to be Blaine Gabbert's favorite receiver. Mike Sims-Walker is back in the receiving core for the Jags, but he wasn't dependable even with David Garrard; his biggest contribution will likely be diverting coverage from other eligible receivers.
5. Fred Davis (Tight End, Washington Redskins)
Last week against the Carolina Panthers, Davis had 6 receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown. Add to that the fact that he has been the Redskins' most consistent player this season (which is still not saying much). The Redskins' offense took a beating last week as both Tim Hightower and Chris Cooley have been placed on Injury Reserve for the season, plus Santana Moss is out with a broken hand for either 3 to 6 weeks or 5 to 7 weeks, depending on who you listen to (Moss or Shanahan).
6. Jackie Battle (Running Back, Kansas City Chiefs)
I know this violates the Fantasy Football Bible lesson from the Book of John about avoiding crowded backfields, but if Battle continues to produce, it will likely become less crowded in coming weeks. Battle carried the ball 16 times for 76 yards last week against Oakland, and before the bye, had a very impressive 119 yards on the ground plus 21 yards off 2 receptions versus Indy. The downside is that Le'Ron McClain is Kansas City's touchdown vulture and Battle is splitting carries with both Dexter McCluster and Thomas Jones.
7. Michael Jenkins (Wide Receiver, Minnesota Vikings)
This guy is not new to the game, but seems to have developed some chemistry with the rookie tossing the rock in Minnesota. Jenkins hooked up with Christian Ponder 3 times for 111 yards and a touchdown in Ponder's first start against the Packers last week. Percy Harvin is definitely the #1 Receiver for the Vikings, but he is dealing with some rib issues that forced him to come out early last week and miss some practice this week, which bodes well for Jenkins.
8. Delone Carter (Running Back, Indianapolis Colts)
I am not usually high on any Colts Running Back mainly because Addai has become Clinton Portis-like with his injury status over the past few seasons, stealing starts from his backups, only to inevitably leave the game early due to a physical ailment. That being said, Carter looked good last week against the Saints with 89 yards and a score on 10 carries. With all of the other things going wrong with the Colts' offense, you have to think that Carter will keep getting chances to make plays.
All of these players show some potential, but it is unlikely that they all will become Fantasy standouts. That's why the title of the article is "8 Players to Watch," not "to Add," and when I say "watch," I mean you should actually watch them play if at all possible. There are certain intangibles that you can pick up on by seeing these players and teams in motion that don't appear in the stat books. Look for relationships between players, particularly Quarterbacks and their respective targeted Receivers, and pay special attention to emerging patterns in offenses run by a new Quarterback (rookie or otherwise).
Most teams are still trying to figure out how to utilize all of their offensive weapons through various schemes, but the teams with new offensive personnel are the most likely to make drastic changes as far as workload goes. These are the teams to keep a close eye on.
If you are conservative with your waiver wire advantages, you should be able to pick up a player once they have shown that they are worth the spot – not before, not after.
Finally, I would like to share a positive thought with all of you struggling Fanagers out there: no matter how bad it gets this week, it can't be worse than the Redskins…or the Dolphins…or the Colts…or the Seahawks…or the Rams.http://chapelboro.com/columns/miss-fantasy-football/fantasy-football-scouting-update-8-players-to-watch-in-week-8

Caregiver Support
Respite Care
Respite care volunteers offer quality companionship to a person with memory impairment or a disabling condition so that the primary family caregiver (or other informal caregiver) can enjoy a few hours off to attend to their needs. This has several benefits as it gives the primary family caregiver time:
- To enjoy other activities like lunch with a friend or a walk around the lake;
- To run errands or make appointments without feeling rushed;
- To spend time with other family members.
Respite care providers typically provide respite for 2-4 hours weekly or every other week to their assigned family.
Caring for Someone with Dementia workshops are offered quarterly to support respite volunteers, family caregivers, and professionals. The workshop explores behavioral changes common in people challenged by memory impairment, whether from Alzheimer's, stroke, Parkinson's, FTD or other disorders, and reviews tips to enhance communication and accentuate the strengths still with in the person with dementia.
Matching Process
The Center for Volunteer Caregiving takes great care to match a volunteer and family. The Volunteer should feel comfortable handling the Care Receiver's level of functioning. The Care Receiver should feel comfortable and respected by his/her new Volunteer companion.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Carl Gehringer Jr.

Latanga Nash.
Vince Petro.
Georgine Riley.
John Soley.
Larry Tremaglio.
Janet Whitney.
If the experimental cancer drugs these nine individuals took while participating in early-phase clinical trials turn into breakthrough treatments, we owe them each a huge debt of gratitude.
And if it turns out that those drugs don't advance the ongoing quest to stop cancer in its tracks, we still owe these people for that knowledge.
All of them volunteered for Phase 1 cancer clinical trials at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center. These studies are the first step in determining if drugs and other therapies are safe in humans.
When their respective cancers no longer responded to standard treatment, they agreed to take drugs not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration except for use in a study.
They took a risk. There was no guarantee a trial treatment would work.
For the past 10 months, The Plain Dealer followed these patients through their journey as study participants in seven different Phase 1 trials at UH. We will tell their stories over five days, starting on Sunday.
Undaunted that he would wear the "first-ever" label for his Phase 1 clinical trial, Vince Petro, 60, of Ashtabula, made his decision quickly.
Faced with what to do following his November 2011 surgery to remove an aggressive brain tumor, oncologists hoped he would agree to try a new stem cell gene therapy first conceived at Case Western Reserve University.
UH physicians had been looking for a patient to enroll in that trial for most of 2011. For them, Petro personified the opportunity to see whether the gene therapy that had showed promise in mice and dogs -- allowing them to tolerate stronger doses of cancer-fighting drugs -- would do the same in humans.
"I'm a pioneer," Petro said 10 months after his surgery. "That makes me feel good, if I can help other people."
Not all of the patients The Plain Dealer followed are still alive. Last October, Janet Whitney of Brecksville and John Soley of Massillon died within one day of each other.
Their families talked about how the lives of others might change because of their loved ones' willingness to volunteer.
"She was always thinking about other people," said Andrea Whitney, Janet Whitney's daughter. "I think there's a part of you, when someone you love is gone, you want to know all of the impacts they've had in the world."
Soley's widow, Jeannie, said her husband's "last hurrah" was signing the consent form for his trial.
"He didn't want anyone else to suffer through this," Jeannie Soley said of the pancreatic cancer he had lived with since 2008. "That's what it was all about."
Soley died less than two months after joining the study.
We almost never get to know the names of people who take part in early-phase studies that are crucial to new drug development, studies that emerge on the heels of promising laboratory research that is years in the making.
By the time the FDA approves a drug for widespread marketing and clinical use, hundreds -- sometimes thousands -- of patients have taken it.
But the number of patients involved in Phase 1 studies is small. And they largely remain anonymous, as do many of the countless scientists working in research labs where drug development begins; the physicians who are instrumental in designing and conducting the studies; the oncologists and nurses and others who provide patient care; the people who produce the consent forms that make the studies understandable to patients; the data and lab managers who collect and interpret information from studies.
UH is the lead institution for early-phase drug development at Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, a collaboration that includes the Cleveland Clinic and is based at Case Western Reserve University.
Case Comprehensive is one of just 14 centers to receive a multiyear grant from the National Cancer Institute to support its Phase 1 program. It is also part of a relatively new drug pipeline: The NCI picked Case Comprehensive researchers to use NCI-developed drugs in early-phase trials they design and run. Case Comprehensive is one of seven centers in the country with that distinction.
Case Comprehensive is also part of a larger network of hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, private organizations and governmental agencies that pursue cutting-edge science that has the potential to be tested in Phase 1 trials and evolve into effective cancer-fighting agents.
Drug development is a long road. Because of people such as Carl Gehringer Jr., Barbara Malone, Margene Manning, Latanga Nash, Vince Petro, Georgine Riley, John Soley, Larry Tremaglio and Janet Whitney, part of that road continues to run through Cleveland.

"Stumbled across this blog which itself is quite remarkable example of p2p data sharing. Under the strapline 'Mysterious world of ancient legends' it is really a mystery who is behind this blog, who set it up etc. Postings are Russian language translations, mostly from P2P Foundation blog (Michel Bauwens entries, http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/). The speed and volume of translations suggests it is an automated bot/script doing the translation labour"

Fox has announced that it has renewed Fringe, even though it receives consistently low ratings. The network has picked the show up for a fifth and final season, giving it a 13 episode pick-up.
"'Fringe is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television's most imaginative dramas,'" [Kevin] Reilly, [Fox's president], said in a statement Thursday. 'Bringing it back for a final 13 allows us to provide the climactic conclusion that its passionate and loyal fans deserve. The amazing work the producers, writers and the incredibly talented cast and crew have delivered the last four seasons has literally been out of this world. Although the end is bittersweet, it's going to be a very exciting final chapter.'
Producers were prepared for either outcome. John Noble (Walter) recently told TVLine that the May 11 finale could serve as a season or series finale. "We've shot two [endings]," he said."
The fact that Fox has picked up Fringe again, really surprises me, since the network doesn't usually give low-rating shows so many chances (Firefly, Dollhouse, Sarah Connor Chronicles, Tru Calling, etc.). Are you a fan of Fringe, how do you feel about the news?

Hay, Neil and Roberts, David E (2007) Iterative control in automotive testing. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part I Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 221 (2). pp. 223-233. ISSN 0959 6518Full text not available from this repository.
Road simulator test rigs investigate both the durability and the squeak and rattle characteristics of vehicle structures. The test specimens are the whole vehicle or a sub-structure taken from the vehicle. In laboratory simulation tests, random time series of strain, displacement, or acceleration, which represent service conditions, are reproduced at specified locations within the structure. These responses are formulated from measurements made on the road or at a specialized proving ground. The premise is that reproducing these responses recreates service strain throughout the structure.
The test rigs are normally driven by hydraulics and form multiple channel non-linear dynamic systems. Time series drive files that reproduce the strain are generated to excite the test rig. These are determined using an iterative procedure that overcomes the deficiencies of the hydraulics, channel interaction, and non-linearity in the system. The current paper outlines a new iterative algorithm with better convergence than the commonly used iterative algorithm which does not always converge. This new iterative algorithm is demonstrated in numerical simulations that represent typical automotive engineering systems.

Kurt created the film Long Grass which was part of the Once Upon a Story events. These were part of MIF13. For more information, please visit the event page by following the link in the left hand panel.
Kurt is the artistic director of the Werktank, a production house for media art in Bierbeek that has its roots in the former artist collective the Filmfabriek. He has produced several videos and (interactive) installations, e.g. Scripted Emotions, Fossilization and S*CKMYP, which took part in international festivals and shows in Rotterdam, Tokyo, Montreal, Paris and Berlin. Kurt also works regularly as a video designer for theatre, dance and opera. His work focuses on the visualisation of the dynamic of information. Special effects play an important role in his work that can best be described as a 'pixel drama' and which can be found in the borders between painting, video clips, cinema and performance. In his work the special effect is the message. He is well known for his extreme video manipulations; manipulating images by forcing them to react to the parameters of other images. With this approach, he can only partly foresee how the image will appear. The result is a process that strongly resembles developing analogue photographs, where it is always a surprise to see the result, or even alchemy, but that is in fact entirely digital.

Backed by the tantalizing peaks of Taiwan's mighty central mountain ranges, CHIAYI (嘉義; jiāyì) is the gateway to the Alishan National Scenic Area and Yushan National Park, as well as one of the country's most famous Mazu temples at Beigang. Just north of the Tropic of Cancer, it also marks the beginning of Taiwan's tropical south and, as one of the island's earliest cities, has plenty of historic temples and lively markets tucked in between the usual neon and concrete.
Brief history
Immigrant farmers from Fujian established the first settlement in the area in 1621, though the city formally dates its creation from 1704 when the county government was moved here and the first wooden city walls were constructed. The area was originally called Chu-lô-san in Taiwanese, a transliteration of Tirosen, a Hoanya word (one of the píngpŭtribes). Following the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion of 1787–89, Emperor Qianlong renamed the town Chiayi, an honorific title meaning "praising them for their loyalty" to reward the inhabitants for resisting the rebels. During the Japanese occupation, it gained the more creative epithet "city of painting" when masters such as Wu Meiling and Chen Cheng-po spearheaded the first Nativist art movement. With a population of around 270,000 Chiayi is now the largest city and commercial centre of Chiayi county, though the county government is located in Taibao (太保; tàibǎo), 15km to the west.

Welcome to my Cast and Blast column. My goal is to make this the spot where outdoorsmen and women find out what's driving the outdoors conversation. It'll be here Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.
ALABAMA'S NEW RED SNAPPER DATA PROGRAM BEGINS SATURDAY - Alabama's Marine Resources Division's new red snapper data-collection program begins with the opening of Florida's season in its state water on Saturday.
Since red snapper caught in Florida's territorial water can legally be transported through Alabama water and landed here, MRD Director Chris Blankenship said biologists wanted to begin gathering information from those fish as soon as they became available.
Fishermen planning to take advantage of Florida's state red snapper season should remember that if their boat is found by MRD enforcement officers simply floating in Alabama state water and has red snapper on board, they could be issued a ticket, according to the MRD's enforcement chief, Maj. Scott Bannon.
The new mandatory reporting program is designed to more accurately count red snapper harvested among Alabama's anglers. The new system requires only one report per vessel trip, which can be filled out via smartphone app, online, by telephone or by paper form.
"This new red snapper data collection program is a critical element in our fight to show that the State of Alabama has the ability to properly manage this vitally important fishery," said Chris Blankenship, Director of the Alabama Marine Resources Division.
MRD data supports the fact that red snapper are an important species to many of Alabama's saltwater anglers, and make up a sizable part of Alabama's estimated $690 million recreational fishery.
At only nine days, the 2014 federal recreational red snapper season will be the shortest season on record, due in part to poor data collection methods used by federal fishery managers, Blankenship said. Ever decreasing seasons have negatively impacted Alabama's citizens and visitors as well as the state's coastal communities.
The new regulation requires the captain or owner of a charter or private vessel with red snapper on board to report all red snapper kept and discarded dead prior to landing in Alabama regardless of where fish are caught.
Additional information required to be reported includes vessel registration, type of vessel (private or charter), county of landing (when seafood is transferred from a vessel to land or to a pier, dock, bulkhead attached to land or when a vessel is hauled onto land via a trailer) and number of anglers.
Only one report is required per vessel trip, and anglers can provide details via a smartphone app available under "Outdoor Alabama" in the iTunes or Google Play app stores; online at outdooralabama.com; by telephone at 1-844-REDSNAP (1-844-733-7627), or by paper forms available at select coastal public boat launches.
For more information, contact Blankenship at 251-861-2882.
NEW BOOK PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON ALABAMA'S MAMMALS -- The University of Alabama Press and the Alabama Wildlife Federation announced publication of Mammals of Alabama, a landmark guide to the state's mammalian fauna.
The 304-page work incorporates decades of research, collecting, and writing by the late Julian L. Dusi, professor of zoology at Auburn University for 45 years, and coauthor Troy Best, professor of zoology and curator of mammals at Auburn University. In entries covering every Alabama species, both native and introduced, the authors offer identification notes, typical sizes and weights, habitat, behaviors, and other key data about each species.
A unique feature of the book is Dusi's extensive collection of carefully preserved and photographed animal skulls. With this field guide, hunters, hikers, farmers and gardeners, and other outdoor enthusiasts can easily identify animals with great precision.
"Alabama is blessed with one of the richest and most varied natural environments in our nation," says AWF executive director Tim Gothard. "Our members value high-quality information about Alabama's wildlife. That's why we were delighted to partner with the University of Alabama Press and the authors at Auburn University to produce this new book, which sets a new standard for natural field guides."
For more information, contact JD Wilson at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 205-348-1566.
WEATHER WATCH - Our string of pretty fishing weather continues with rain not expected to enter the forecast until Tuesday. Even then, there's only a 20 percent chance.
That bodes well for the 90-plus boats already registered to fish the Mobile Big Game Fishing Club's Memorial Day Tournament out of Orange Beach Marina in Orange Beach. As has been the case for the past decade, there will be a $1 million bounty paid to anyone who breaks the current Alabama state blue marlin mark that was set in July 2013 at just under 846 pounds.
These weigh-ins are always impressive. They're scheduled to take place from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Boats have to be inside the Perdido Pass rocks by 8 p.m. both days to be eligible to weigh in.
A major prime feeding time peaked at 7:49 a.m. at moon under and a minor peak occurs at moonset at 1:57 p.m. We'll see a fair incoming tide most of daylight today, but head into a slow to neap tide cycle beginning on Friday.
YOUR DAILY OUTDOORS ZEN -- "Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl."

Therefore considerable confusion is running rampant about when a Muskegon art-movie house this weekend will show what it's calling the "IFC International Film Festival."
What's the truth?
Go figure.
The snafu salvo began with an early announcement by the Harbor Theater. It said the five-movie series would be screened this Saturday, Oct. 10.
Then an Oct. 8 story in a local newspaper reported that the festival would run only this Friday, Oct. 9, beginning at 1 p.m.
Now the latest online announcement sent to Harbor Theater subscribers is stating that the five films — from France, the United Kingdom and Ireland — will encompass three days, Friday through Sunday, Oct. 8-10.
Whenever the damn thing's running, what attendees will discover is that foreign does not always equate with fine.
One of the films is so brutally honest that it's sometimes impossible to watch. Another takes a psychological twist on the prison-break genre. And at least one has no business in a theater, being better suited to late-night television.
First things first.
As much as Extra Iddings can figure out, the only IFC (meaning the Independent Film Channel, which is distributing the movies) festival offering that will screen Friday is "Summer Hours," a French flick starring Juliette Binoche.
I can't speak to its merits, having never seen "Summer Hours." The Harbor provided with me an advance copy, but the disc would not play.
The glut of the festival's films runs Saturday, with some titles repeating Sunday, and one even onto Monday.
Notable among them are:• "Hunger," in which director Steve McQueen — obviously not the late American actor of the same name — brutally dramatizes the terminal 1981 hunger strike of Irish Republican Army martyr Bobby Sands.
• "The Escapist," a compelling prison-break yarn with an ensemble cast led by Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes and a redheaded actor who should be typecast as the Devil, Damian Lewis
• "I Sell the Dead," a horror-comedy that looks like it was made for TV serialization, and can't decide what it wants to be, outside of post' "Lord of the Rings" and "Lost" employment for British actor Dominic Monaghan.
To my eye, the best of the bunch is "The Escapist," rookie British director Rupert Wyatt's compelling drama about a group of convicts plotting to bust out of the joint.
"The Escapist" stars one of the world's great older actors, Brian Cox, as Frank, an aging con who wants out to try to save his estranged daughter who's become a junkie. Frank's face wears every piece of wear and tear that life has visited upon him. He enlists a group that includes a loner (Fiennes) who spends much of his time hitting the heavy bag, and several other inmates from a place in which those trapped inside form their own society.The wild card in this deck is a King of The Cell Block (Lewis), a sinister man of few words, who has no interest in rotating back to the real world, where he is nothing. Given his appearance, Lewis does not have to say a thing to establish himself as one of the most ominous presences to be seen on screen this year.
As for Cox, his performance personifies the kind the reason they give Academy Awards, but don't. That'll make more sense after seeing "The Escapist." a movie that burrows underground, and perhaps into the mind of a man who might or might not be dead. Early candidate for line of the year: "You got one thing going for you: You're too old to die young."
No movie this year will be harder to watch than "Hunger." It graphically details the brutality and physical deterioration undergone by IRA activist Bobby Sands, who starved himself to death for his cause.
Sands is embodied by Michael Fassbender, the actor best known to American audiences for "Inglorious Basterds"; in Quentin Tarantino's WW II revenge fantasy, Fassbender plays a film critic turned counterspy who makes a major mistake while trying to overthrow the Nazi high command.
A bleak work based in fact, "Hunger" never blinks from reality. That means showing what happens to a mind and body driven beyond human endurance. This jail house does not rock.How something as lame as "I Sell the Dead" got on this IFC bill is anybody's guess, but somebody made a bad one.
Set in the 18th century, "I Sell the Dead" is about a couple grave robbers who supply corpses for medical research, body snatchers who evolve into ghouls and end up in a monster mess that pits them against vampires and God knows what else.
Ron Perlman plays a priest who's up to something and, at the end when you find out what, you couldn't care less. "I Sell the Dead" ends wide-open for a sequel, the scariest thing about it.
Early candidate for worst line of the year: "Never trust a corpse."
Or film festival reports that contradict each other.
