Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli 10th July 2012 Written Episode
Part 1
The police says your mother in law had the chance to kill Sushant and she did. You are a lawyer and you should know the law. You are also mahaan and that is why you took the blame upon yourself right? The police orders another police to take Pratibha away and Karuna says you can bring Pratibha but she will not remain in the jail. The police says do what you can and you in fact asked the minister to call to bring Abha out right? So this time try doing the same because i have all the proof against her and Kanika cries saying you can't bring my mother and Pratibha is taken away. Kanika is crying to Karan and Abha saying why are you not doing anything and maa is being taken away. Kanika gets tensed and almost faints and everyone brings Kanika to her room while Karan is left thinking and the house phone rings. Ranchod says why aren't you picking my call on your handphone? I am at the outhouse and i saw mummy being taken away. Why? Karan says Ranchod, i found the broken CD of 177 and maa's cupboard key was found at Sushant's house and the police thinks that maa had done the murder. Ranchod says are they mad and think the whole family did the murder? Wait, i will bring her out and find the real culprit. Karan says the person who is doing this is very close to us and i know what to do and Ranchod says alright. A doctor says that Kanika is weak since she has had abortion before. I will give some medicines and make sure she takes care and Abha says surely. Karan enters the room and looks at Abha and Karan asks how is she? Abha says she is fine and you don't worry. We will bring maa out and Kanika would be fine. All would be fine. Karan says when will all be fine Abha? When all of us go to the jail? Veer bhaiya and everyone has left us and we are still seeing all this. Why? All because of this Swarn Bhavan. Maa is in jail and Kanika is here weak and we had earned many enemies. All is only because of this Swarn Bhavan. First the family in the house left the house, then Yasodra massi entered, now Sushant and who next only because of this Swarn Bhavan. I have decided that we would sell this Swarn Bhavan and all are shocked. Shelly comes in saying what are you saying Karan? How could you think of selling Swarn Bhavan? Abha says what are you saying Karan? Swarn Bhavan has many memories tied to it. Karan asks what is the use of the memories Abha? I don't want more troubles for my family members because of this Swarn Bhavan and Thakur enters and Abha says Pitahji, is all fine? Karan says i called him as i don't want to make such decision without asking him.
Part 2
Thakur says look here son, i know that this house has memories of heritance but for my family and their happiness, i don't want this Swarn Bhavan and if you want to sell it, i'm with you. Shelly looks at Karuna and Karuna is shocked. Karan calls a property agent and asks to put Swarn Bhavan up for sale the next day and Abha is sad. Its night and Abha boils some milk and without realizing, someone mix some pills in the milk. Abha takes the milk and Karan is seen thinking in his room and Abha sits next to Karan and leaves the milk on the table. Abha holds Karan's hands and says you have decided, so don't think too much. I know that this house has so much of memories but you have decided and that too for the family. I felt weird at first but maa is not at jail which is something i didn't wanted. We shall bring her out and live in a smaller house where at least we can be happy. All will be fine and you don't worry. Now drink this milk and Abha says i shall sleep with Kanika tonight as she might need me, so you don't think so much and leaves while Karan drinks the milk. Karan falls asleep after drinking the milk. Abha enters Kanika's room and asks how are you? Kanika says how is maa? Abha says you need to take care of yourself and your child. Maa will surely be back, you trust in your brother right? The real culprit will be revealed soon and i have full trust. The doctor has asked you to have good rest and you sleep now. Someone opens Karan's room door and the person goes nearer to Karan and takes a knife and stab and laughs seeing blood stains and its revealed to be Shelly where Shelly sees the blood and laughs like a mad person. Someone holds Shelly from the back and its Karan where Shelly gets shocked and looks back at the bed and its pillows and Shelly tries to attack Karan and Karan holds Shelly and Shelly pushes Karan and starts running while Karan manages to catch Shelly and take the knife away from her. Shelly says look, i will not leave you and everyone is shocked. Ranchod arrives and Karan says i know that someone is doing all this for Swarn Bhavan but you? That is why i pretended to sell Swarn Bhavan so that the person would do something stupid in return. You could have asked instead of doing all this. Shelly shouts u was the one who murdered Sushant and you are trying to take Swarn Bhavan away from me right? You deserve to die.
Part 3
Shelly tries to stranggle Karan again saying you are trying to sell Swarn Bhavan? Abha holds Shelly and says bhabhi! The police and Thakur enters where Shelly says no one can sell Swarn Bhavan as its my rights. Everyone here just call me like a daughter and took everything away from me. You and you wife pretended to be good to me all the time. Abha and Karan are shocked! Abha says bhabhi? I never even dream that you would do such a thing. You always thought of me as your younger sister and you always stood with me to unite the family. And you trying to murder Karan? Shelly shouts yes, i did! Why about trying? I will really kill him. Ranchod is smilling and Shelly says i will not sit quietly. Ranchod says we had seen enough and now look at the inspector. Inspector, didn't i told you there is a climax today? Now take her away and send her child to some orphanage. Shelly shouts to Ranchod and Karuna gets hold of Shelly and slaps Shelly saying what madness are you doing? Why are you taking the blame upon yourself? Because the real culprit is me. Everyone is shocked. Karuna asks why are you taking the blame? Karuna looks at Karan and says yes, i murdered Sushant. And i was the one who gave money to Sushant to murder Karan. But Sushant caught Ranchod and Karan escaped. I for the sake of Shelly and Asmi wanted to kill everyone of Swarn Bhavan. Everyone is shocked.
Precap: Abha says to Indira that i will help you and Indira says i will help you too in return. Abha says look at both the families coming together on 13 July at 8pm on Zee TV.

When Mackenzie Reese hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give the USC Aiken women a 56-55 win over arch-rival Augusta State, it seemed like the team was well on its way to winning the Peach Belt Conference East Division.
That hasn't been the case.
The Pacers (19-5, 12-5) have struggled in the five games since that Feb. 2 showdown, going 2-3 with losses to teams with a combined .444 winning percentage in PBC play. USCA only remains tied for first in the division because Augusta State (19-5, 12-5) has had its own ups and downs, faring better with a 4-2 record since the teams first met.
But past difficulty can go out the window tonight, when the teams will face each other in rematch at the Convocation Center. As is usually the case when these teams square off, a lot on the line for the game that's set to tip-off at 5:30 p.m.
It's a chance for the Jaguars to avenge the earlier heartbreak. It's an opportunity for the Pacers to reclaim their footing among the elites in the conference as well as the nation, as they dropped to No. 21 in the latest USA Today Division II top-25 Coaches' Poll. But most of all, it's a chance for both teams to take control of the division and clinch one of the top seeds for the PBC Tournament.
Should the Pacers win, they would clinch first place in the East Division, since they would've swept the season series. A Jag win would still leave the possibility of a first-place tie, but USCA would have to win at UNC Pembroke on Saturday while Augusta State must lose at Flagler.
To win either of their remaining contests, the Pacers have got to be more productive on offense. It's not surprising they've had struggles since All-American forward Kayla Harris went down with a season-ending knee injury. But USCA has been woeful in recent games, only winning when the defense is so dominant it holds opponents to 45 points or less.
In the recent five-game stretch, the Pacers have only made 35 percent (101-for-284) of their field-goal attempts, a figure that extrapolated over the entire season would leave them dead last in the PBC. It hasn't helped that their struggles have been exaggerated behind the 3-point arc. USCA's only making 29 percent (19-for-65) of it's long-distance shots.
Daniela Tarailo, the Pacers' go-to player on offense since Harris was sidelined, has also struggled recently. Against Augusta State, the senior guard had one of the best games of her career, posting 31 points, eight rebounds, four steals and two assists – including a pass to Reese on the game-winning shot. She was named PBC Player of the Week and followed that with a 22-point, 12-rebound performance in a win over Lander.
Since then, Tarailo who could be named first-team All-PBC has struggled, scoring just 25 points in four games. Tarailo's the player opposing defenses look to neutralize, making it more difficult to score, but she and her teammates have got to find a way to get her more than 6 points per game if the Pacers are going to return to form.
Tarailo's teammates must perform more consistently on offense it opponents are zeroing in on her. Porsha Martin has done the best job of stepping up, but players like Reese, point guard Brittany Hill and Mia Antoine have got to be more productive if Tarailo's double teamed or struggling.
Fortunately for USCA, Augusta State isn't an offensive powerhouse that's likely to shoot the lights out at the Convocation Center. Like the Pacers, the Jags are a team that wins games because of tough defense, limiting opponents to 52.2 points per game, the fewest allowed by any PBC team. Opponents are only hitting 34 percent of their shots against the Jags, which they need since they aren't prolific on offense.
Augusta State averages 62 points per game, close to the bottom of the PBC rankings. It only has two players scoring in double figures, an only Taylor Ayers (11.3 points, 7 rebounds per game) has played in all 24 games this season. Ayers scored 15 points in the loss to USCA, second on the team behind Tanchelle Hollingsworth's 18. The pacers must also be wary of guard Brittany White, who's fourth in the PBC with more than five assists per game. Hill is second in that category with more than six per outing.
Tonight's game has extra meaning for the Pacers since it will be Senior Night at the Convocation Center. Four Pacers are likely playing their final game on the home hardwood, and Tarailo, Antoine, Tiffani Moody as well as Hillary Spears will be recognized for their contributions to the program.
Noah Feit is the sports editor for the Aiken Standard and has been a professional journalist for more than a dozen years after graduating from Syracuse University.
Today's Game
What: USC Aiken women's basketball
Who: USCA (19-5, 12-5 PBC) vs. Augusta State (19-5, 12-5 PBC)
When: 5:30 p.m.
Where: Convocation Center
USCA: Daniela Tarailo, Sr. G. Tarailo scored a career-best 31 points in the first game against Augusta State, but has only totaled 47 in five games since.
Augusta State: Taylor Ayers, Sr. F. Ayers hasn't started a game but leads the Jags with averages of 11.3 and 7 rebounds per contest.

Wine Maker Notes
Pinot Grigio thrives in the area known as "Tre Venezie," which encompasses a vast territory in northwestern Italy, including the regions of Veneto, Fruili-Venezia Giulia, and Trentino-Alto Adige. The grapes for this wine were hand picked and soft pressed. The wine was then fermented and aged in stainless steel, followed by a minimum of two months of aging in bottle. This exquisite dry white is fragrant on the nose and fresh on the palate, with an excellent balance of acidity and minerality. Enjoy as an aperitif or serve with hors d'oeuvres and seafood dishes.

Young Jake didnt know what to think.
After 10 years in the same house, with the same neighbours, the same friends, the same teachers and the same school, his dad and mom were telling him it was time to move.
Away from the ideal little town of Nelson and to a new place called Kamloops.
Kamloops, Jake muttered to himself as he stretched out on his bed, tossing his favourite baseball the one autographed by Jason Bay, the British Columbia star who plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Even the name sounds funny!
Just then Jakes dad rapped on the door and walked into the bedroom.
How are ya doing, little buddy? his dad asked as he sat next to Jake on his messy bed, with baseball cards and Archie comic books covering his Spider Man bedspread.
Jake didnt say anything. He just kept tossing his prized baseball into the air, silently angry at his dad for taking a new job in that place called Kamloops.
Look, son, I know you love it here in Nelson. And your mom loves it here, too.
Heck, I love it in Nelson, too, sport, but this job in Kamloops is really good and we will much better off there.
Jake still didnt say anything. He only stared at the ball as it went up and came down. Up. Down. Up. Down.
Well, buddy, Jakes dad said as he stood up, patting his son on the arm, its going to be OK. Youll see. We have a nice new house and theres a ski hill nearby.
Jakes dad left the bedroom and Jake stopped tossing his ball in the air.
Sighing loudly, Jake slowly left his bed and stood up, looking around his bedroom, the only room he had known in his entire life of 10 years.
Just then, Jake noticed something someone on the lawn below his bedroom window.
He walked to the window and looked down. It was his best friend, Wally, and he was waving wildly up at Jakes window.
Jake opened his window.
What is it? he asked Wally.
Oh, man, Wally said. Come on down! Hurry up! Youre not gonna believe it!
Jake was so excited that he almost forgot that he would be moving to that place called Kamloops in one week.
He dropped his baseball, grabbed his Pirates cap and raced down the stairs.
by Sierra Gladu, Grade 6, OLPH
Jake was almost at the door when his dad appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
Hey sport, where ya going?
Just going to play with Wally, dad. Dont worry, Ill be home before supper.
OK, have fun.
Jake burst out the door and ran to meet his best friend.
Wally! Wally! Whats the great news? Jake asked.
You are not going to believe it! Wally said. You know Jason Bay, the guy who signed your baseball?
Ya, what about him? Jake asked.
Well, Wally replied, him and the rest of the Pirates are at the mall signing autographs!
Awesome, Jake said.
Lets go!
Wally and Jake ran to the Nelson mall as fast as they could.
On the way there, Jake said to Wally: I cant wait! Maybe they will sign my poster!
Just then, they burst through the mall doors and got in the line to meet their major league heroes.
Oh! I have to get my poster out, said Wally.
Ya, added Jake, I have to get mine out too . . .
Wait! Where is it? Where is my poster?
Jake checked his pockets and looked around the ground.
No Pirates poster anywhere.
Oh man! I forgot it at home! said Jake.
Well, said Wally, you cant go home and get because they are leaving in 10 minutes!
Oh man, what am I going to do? Jake said.
What am I going to do?
by Sylvie Lloyd, Grade 4, R.L. Clemetson elementary
Theres no use, said Jake, the Pirates are leaving in 10 minutes and theres no time to go home and get our posters. I guess well just have to go home.
Jake and Wally were just leaving the mall when a sign caught Jake by the corner of his eye. Jake stopped and turned slightly to his left. Jake read the sign carefully and his heart was beating faster and faster.
Whats the matter Jake? You seem a little weird. said Wally
Wally, read this sign. said Jake, his heart still pumping as fast as a rocket.
Pittsburgh Pirates coming to Kamloops in two weeks. Their appearance will be at Aberdeen Mall, murmured Wally as he read the sign.
Why are you getting so worked up about it? You dont even live in Kamloops, said Wally.
Jake gasped: Oh Wally, I cant believe I didnt tell you, but . . . Im moving to Kamloops in one week.
Oh, said Wally, well, you can get your poster signed after all.
Wally couldnt believe that the two boys who had known each other their whole lives would soon be apart.
by Amy Robinson, Grade 7, Pacific Way elementary
Lets go home, Wally sighed.
Jake and Wally started walking home.
I cant believe I didnt tell you, Jake said, considering that youre my best friend!
Will we ever see each other again? Wally asked.
Maybe someday, Jake replied.
Suddenly, it hit him he would never see Wally again.
Here we are, Wally said, disrupting Jakes thought.
Jake looked up to see his house.
Oh! Bye. I guess that Ill see you tomorrow.
Ya, Wally replied. Bye.
Jake stepped inside and turned around to watch his friend leave. He couldnt help but notice a slight smile growing on his friends face.
Oh, great! Jake whispered to himself, now my best friend is glad that Im moving to Kamloops.
Jake went inside his house. Whats for supper, mom?
Chicken! she replied. Supper, Bob!
Coming, Deb, said Jakes dad as he arrived at the door.
How was it? Jakes mom asked once supper was finished.
Great, Jake and his dad answered at the same time.
You should go to bed, Jakes mom told him. Its past eight oclock.
OK, Jake said. Good night.
Jake had just gotten comfortable when he heard knocking on his bedroom window. He opened it and saw Wally outside.
Come out, Wally hissed. Jake crept down to the door and went outside.
What, Wally?
Come on, get some clothes. Time to go.
Where are we going? Jake asked.
by Janae Pham, Grade 8, Kamloops Christian
Just get dressed and follow me, said Wally. Cmon, hurry!
Soon after, Jake was hurrying behind Wally around the side of the house.
Wallys dad was waiting in his car on the street, beckoning for them to hurry.
Jake grabbed Wallys arm and hissed, OK, just what are you up to? My parents dont know Im gone. Its past my bedtime, and "
Just listen!" Wally said. "My dad is going to Kamloops overnight for some business stuff. Hes letting me come with him and I told him you were allowed to come, too. Now we can get those Pirates' autographs we wanted!
Wally pulled on Jake's arm: Cmon, my dads waiting!
You dont think my parents will realize Im gone? Jake asked.
You can call them when we get there. Its the weekend. What harm could it do?
"Besides, Wallys face became sad. It might be the last thing we do together before you move. Lets make it fun, OK?
Jake hesitated.
Well, OK, but youre taking the blame if I get in trouble for this!
The boys ran to the car and leapt in.

Q&A with Jazz at the Labs emcee Dick Stein
Journal: What attracted you to hosting KPLU's Midday Jazz radio show?
DS: I've been a jazz fan since my early teen years. Having worked for quite a few years in commercial radio doing telephone and talk and also DJ-ing just about every kind of music but jazz, when a spot opened up at KPLU I jumped at it. I've been faking it so well since then, that after 20 years they still haven't found me out.
Journal: Do you play an instrument?
DS: I used to play bagpipes but stopped by popular demand. All in all it was for the best.
Journal: How did you get involved in the FH Jazz Labs?
DS: Through my old friends, artists Lewis and Nancy Spaulding of Friday Harbor. Their daughter Laurie is in charge of the justly famous chow at the FHL [event] and through her they know Rachael Anderson at the Labs and somehow it came up that they knew me and Rachael asked them and they asked me and so on and so on...

Every athletic director in the country has a short list of coaches he would consider if his coach leaves.
For the ADs with legends patrolling the sidelines, this is a sensitive subject. For one, you're not in a hurry to get rid of your current coach. It's also become customary to consult the outgoing legend out of respect. And the final thing to consider is that you need a coach with enough confidence in himself to replace the legend.
There are currently four coaches in the country who have earned 'legend' status and are also nearing or already at retirement age: Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, Louisville's Rick Pitino, North Carolina's Roy Williams and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski.
For the four ADs at those schools, let's consider the ideal replacement at each program.

There's a lot to be said for winning ugly.
Losing ugly brings nothing but frustration. But winning ugly is a different story.
For one thing, it's something that every team needs to be able to do if they are going to have a successful season. Bad shooting games are inevitable. Rusty legs after a long layoff are inevitable. UMass encountered both those elements Saturday when IUPUI came to Amherst.
The Jaguars may not be a household name around these parts, but they are probably remembered as the team that burst UMass' balloon last Winter following the Minutemen's 107-100 win over Syracuse. After that they went on to the NCAA Tournament.
They probably had the best season of any team with a palindrome for a name. Not to be taken lightly.
So when the Jags rolled into the Mullins Center, the game had trap written all over it.
But instead of giving way UMass showed that they can get scrappy and still come away with a W.
They showed that they can win against solid opposition on the strength of defensive intensity and effort.
They showed they can win when most of the team isn't shooting the ball well — with the notable exceptions of Ricky Harris and Matt Glass. The Minutemen spent the lion's share of the game with only one player in double figures scoring (Harris). A late Tony Gaffney basket gave Mr. Everything his sixth double-double of the season, with 11 points and 11 rebounds to go with his 5 blocks and 3 steals.
This is a UMass team that will need to know how to win ugly if they are going to compete in the Atlantic 10 this season. We know they are prone to high numbers of turnovers. We know they can suffer long bouts of cold shooting. With this game in the books in the win column, we know that they can overcome these things and still execute with confidence and determination.
After all, it's basketball, not a beauty contest.

Four words: Jon King BEAR FIGHT!!
The Hokies got of to a terribly slow and discombobulated start in a game they probably should have won by 30-40 points.
But, the Hokies pulled it out in the second half behind the senior leadership of Erick Green. Tech improved to 8-1 on the season with a 70-49 win over the winless devils.
Green led all scorers with 23 points, which gives him nine straight games this season with at least 20 points, tying Bimbo Coles' record. Sophomore Marquis Rankin added a career-high 10 points.
The story of the first half was rebounding. VT was inexplicably out rebounded 24-17. Still, Tech led at the break, 30-24.
The second half was all Hokies as they led by double figures for most of the half. Walk-ons Christian Beyer, Marcus Patrick and Will Johnston got a ton of playing time.
It's clear that Coach James Johnson is not afraid to sit his starters if they need a rest or aren't playing well. And he demonstrated considerable confidence in his walk-ons; much moreso than his predecessor.
Beyer was actually effective on the boards, pulling down a career-high five rebounds and added a pair of free throws in the waning moments of the game.
Outside of the Winchester Rifleman, though, no one else is playing consistent basketball. Cadarian Raines once again found himself in foul trouble in the first half and ended up with more fouls (5) than points (0) or rebounds (4).
Raines' troubles did have a plus side, though. It meant more time for Joey vanZegeren, who played pretty well and seems to be gaining confidence.
This wasn't a solid outing for the Hokies on the whole, but they took care if business and won by 21 points. And the walkons got some playing time and didn't hurt the team. JJ has confidence in those guys and getting them playing time in real games will help during practices.

Call it Method songwriting. R&B newcomer Akon wrote "Locked Up" – a hauntingly bleak meditation on incarceration – while he was in jail for grand theft auto. But don't think he's your typical roughneck. The singer (ne Aliaune Thiam) spent his early childhood in Senegal until his father, acclaimed percussionist Mor Thiam, moved the family to New Jersey in 1986. Maybe his background explains why "Trouble," his eclectic debut – which features everything from reggae and hip-hop to world beat and doo-wop – sounds so markedly different from most urban music. Says Akon, 25: "Music isn't separated by genre as much [in Senegal] as it is here."
The African transplant admits he had a hard time adapting to U.S. culture at first: "The food, the clothing, the music – it all made me feel so different." He laughingly admits that rap music left him cold: "I didn't understand it." Eventually, though, he came to appreciate hip-hop. Unfortunately, he also gravitated toward a gangsta lifestyle, which led him to spend a total of three years behind bars. Still, his time in prison actually pushed him to step up his efforts for a pop career: "Being a convicted felon, I couldn't really get a job, so making music was the best [option]."
Right now, Akon is planning to star in a semiautobiographical film (also called "Trouble"), and hopes that his second album will double as the soundtrack. Sounds like more than enough to keep him out of that other kind of trouble.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â When the filmmakers of âWinnie the Poohâ were tasked by the Walt Disney Co. with creating a new story about the honey-loving bear two years ago, they had no interest in computer-generating Pooh and his friends.
They also wanted no part in projecting Poohâs latest Hundred Acre Wood adventure in three dimensions or upgrading his classic bound storybook to a tablet computer.
Instead, directors Stephen Anderson and Don Hall sought to faithfully return Pooh to his hand-drawn origins for a feature film reminiscent of the 1960sâ Pooh shorts, while also appealing to kids whoâve grown up with âToy Storyâ and âCars.â
âAfter we watched the first âPoohâ films, we felt strongly those characters would still be funny,â said Hall. âThe pacing was our challenge. We knew the pacing in those old films would not work, but we couldnât crank it up to the level of todayâs films because it would break âWinnie the Pooh.â We had to find a line and walk it. That took the most work.â
âWinnie the Pooh,â debuting in the U.S. on Friday, will be the first time the Hundred Acre Wood residents of A.A. Milneâs beloved books have marched into theaters since 2005âs âPoohâs Heffalump Movie.â In recent years, Pooh and pals have strayed away from their storybook roots, appearing in direct-to-DVD movies and as puppets and computer-generated characters in Disney Channel series.
âWhen a character has been around for as many incarnations as Pooh, you sometimes donât realize when you drift away from the source material that made it resonate in the first place,â said voice actor Tom Kenny, who plays control freak Rabbit. âIn the same way that I think itâs smart to reboot 007 or Batman, thatâs basically what they did with Pooh.â
Jim Cummings, who has portrayed Pooh for more than 25 years in films, TV shows and video games, returns as the voice of Pooh and Tigger, as does Travis Oates as Piglet. New actors take on the other roles, including talk show host Craig Ferguson as know-it-all Owl and Pixar and Sesame Street animator Bud Luckey as loveably dismal donkey Eeyore. John Cleese narrates.
âWe asked ourselves if the characters were more defined by their voice or more defined by their personality, with the voice not mattering so much,â said Anderson. âIf you donât have the voices of Pooh, Tigger, Eyore and Piglet, people are going to go nuts. Those had to be imitations of the originals. That wasnât so for other characters like Owl and Rabbit.â
The new filmâs plot is loosely based on stories from Milneâs books and follows Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl and Eeyore as they search for both a missing Christopher Robin and a new tail for Eeyore. Along the way, the critters encounter a mysterious creature called a Backson, who was briefly mentioned in 1928âs âThe House at Pooh Corner.â
The illustrative journey was drawn by hand at the Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, Calif. Yet this âPoohâ isnât totally an old-school endeavor. Animatorsâ drawings were scanned into computers instead of copied, and the images, including the watercolor backdrops, were digitally painted, not filled in by actual brushes.
The other new element in this edition of âPoohâ was the use of actress-singer Zooey Deschanel as the filmâs musical narrator. Deschanel croons the classic opening theme, as well other ditties laced throughout the film. The cast and crew are hoping the old-fashioned touches appeal to young and old alike, as well as reinvigorate the 85-year-old franchise.
âThese movies last forever,â said Cummings. ââSnow Whiteâ was done in 1937, and you can go to your video store and watch it now. You want it to be good because itâs going to outlast me, you and all of us. There is definitely a pressure there to perform. I never leave the fight in the gym. I bring it every time. I shoot for a homerun with every line.â
Winnie the Pooh returns to hand drawn style

"Today" co-host Matt Lauer and his wife, Annette, are "angrily" refuting a National Enquirer cover story alleging that they've split, People reports.
The Enquirer story, which spread across the Internet Thursday, claimed Lauer had moved out of the family's apartment.
But in an interview with People, he took issue with that and several other claims in the article -- among them that he skipped Valentine's Day with his wife so he could keep partying in Vancouver after covering the Winter Olympics.
"I am living in my apartment with Annette and my children as a family and a couple," Lauer said from France, where he was co-anchoring "Today" from the Cannes Film Festival. "I have never moved out. I am not moving out. There is no truth to that."
Lauer acknowledged past difficulties in his 12-year marriage, including Annette's brief divorce filing in 2006. But he called rumors that he's cheated "ridiculous" and "offensive."
"Have we had a completely perfect, easy marriage? No. But the stories you've read over the years are not true," he said.
Annette Lauer also acknowledged past difficulties, but told People, "We have worked through it."
Her husband called the Enquirer article "a work of fiction."
"This is all made up," he said. "All they had to do was check."
'Law & Order' out?
NBC refused to confirm Internet reports Thursday that it had canceled "Law & Order."
Rumors began with a Deadline.com article that said people close to the production had been told the flagship show would not return for a record-breaking 21st season. Executive producer Dick Wolf was "furious" about the move, since NBC had already agreed to renew the series for one more year, Deadline said Thursday afternoon.
Thursday evening, the New York Times quoted sources that said NBC and Wolf "are still having conversations" about the show's future. Wolf and other show producers did not comment. So, stay tuned.
In case you missed it . . .
Or you just want to watch again, the recent "Great Performances" broadcast of "Hamlet," starring David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, is available for viewing in its entirety on the PBS website.
Weekend forecast
Box-office experts are predicting a No. 2 opening for "Robin Hood" this weekend, behind "Iron Man 2." The Russell Crowe film received a lukewarm response Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, and its mixed reviews so far "could harm the movie given that it is aimed mainly at adults, who tend to care more about what critics have to say than teenagers," according to the Los Angeles Times. The film's official cost is $155 million (after tax credits), but Times sources "familiar with the budget" said it was "at least $200 million." Universal is counting on the film opening stronger overseas than in North America.
"Robin Hood's" prospects are better than those of "Just Wright," the Queen Latifah romantic comedy also opening today. The movie "isn't expected to make much of an impression this weekend," the Times said. The Hollywood Reporter predicts the film will make $8 million to $10 million its opening weekend. That would still be a relative plus for the studio Searchlight, since the movie only cost "slightly more than $12 million to produce," THR said.
Meanwhile, the weekend's third big opening, "Letters to Juliet," could end up being a "respectable hit," the Times said. The romantic drama starring Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave cost about $30 million and could earn close to $20 million this weekend, according to the Times.
Of course, all these numbers depend on what we, the public, actually choose. Are you planning to see a movie this weekend? If so, which one? Leave your comments -- and mini-reviews, if you want -- in the space below.

New Dead or Alive glimpsed
The Dead or Alive series will be receiving a fifth installment, it won't surprise you to learn today. The long-running beat 'em up series, more recently a champion of the Xbox's graphical capabilities, will once again be heading for Microsoft's latest platform, from what we can gather. As reported by fan site Team Xbox, Tecmo developer Tomonobu Itagaki confirmed the existence of a new installment at a party celebrating the game's tenth anniversary.
"I've already started writing the basics for DOA5," he is quoted as saying, going on to add that "I cannot talk about it but the opening scene has already [been] determined in my head."
Itagaki-san most recently masterminded Dead or Alive X2, which is due out in PAL regions come September. Online rumour mongering also speaks of gameplay terms having been decided, and the removal of tag team battles from the formula. We'll keep you posted on all this as we learn more, young proteges.

Here is a look back at a Sicilian recipe I posted a few years ago that is one of my all-time favorite pasta dishes. While it might seem too hot right now for a heavy cream sauce, I crave pistachio pasta all year long. It's so simple and quick, the sauce will be finished by the time your pasta is cooked. Pair it with a crisp salad and I think it's a great way to end a long summer day.
Farfalle with Pistachio Cream Sauce Recipe
This dish is a dream! I couldn't think of any sauce I'd want to eat more. Bookmarked!10:18 am Jul 20th, 2010
Stop by my blog- you got an award! 🙂 Blessings!11:33 am Jul 20th, 2010
This looks lovely, Nicole! I have never added pistachio in pasta, mostly because growing up, it was always associated with sweet stuff. This is the second time in the past week I saw a pasta with pistachio and I think it's a sign 🙂1:32 pm Jul 20th, 2010
We made a pistachio cream sauce once before and it was amazing. Might have to give this one a try, we love a good, simple pasta!1:53 pm Jul 20th, 2010
pistachio cream sounds incredible…I have never made anything like that, I will definitely have to try it! Thanks so much for sharing!2:35 pm Jul 20th, 2010
Sounds great. I like pasta with pistachio pesto too.3:00 pm Jul 20th, 2010
I will have to give this a try. Mr. B is a massive fan of both pistachios and pesto. He would grin from ear to ear if I combined both in a pasta dish.3:25 pm Jul 20th, 2010
Wow, yum! Sounds delicious.3:49 pm Jul 20th, 2010
I am seriously drooling here!5:51 pm Jul 20th, 2010
Another delicious dish. I am looking forward to trying it. I love that the pistachios are ground. I don't care for large chunks of nuts.6:38 pm Jul 20th, 2010
Made this AGAIN tonight and it was just as amazing as the previous times…..Simple, delicious and perfect for a pregnant woman who is craving pasta 😉7:13 pm Jul 26th, 2010
Made this AGAIN tonight and it was just as amazing as the previous times…..Easy, delicious and perfect for a pregnant woman who is craving pasta 😉7:14 pm Jul 26th, 2010
I took a stab at this over the weekend. I used orrichette instead of farfalle, just because I always keep orrichette on hand, but it turned out fantastic. Next time I think I'll add a bit more pistachio, but you can be sure – there will definitely be a next time!
Pics (not nearly as nice as the ones in the recipe) etc. are here:
Great recipe – thanks for sharing!8:43 am Jul 28th, 2010
gorgeous photo. i don't think i've ever made something like this before, even though i'm a pasta addict10:49 am Jul 29th, 2010
While making our menu for the week my husband requested farfalle with pistachio…like we had during our time in Sicily! How funny that a google search pulled your site up and it appears our times there overlapped a little! Thank you for the recipe and the small trip down memory lane – I try not to think of it much, as we miss it so terribly!9:39 pm Nov 5th, 2011

OTTAWA COUNTY, MI – A Grand Haven woman was seriously injured on Tuesday, Nov. 19, when her car left the road, struck a driveway abutment and went airborne before crashing into a tree.
Jennifer Duarte, 38, was driving home after leaving her third-shift job in Holland when the 8 a.m. crash occurred on 120th Avenue north of Buchanan Street in Robinson Township.
She was driving north on 120th when her 1994 Ford Taurus drifted across the center line, then left the road, Ottawa County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Kempker said.
After the car hit the abutment, it went into the air and hit the tree, rolling over onto its side. Duarte was pinned in for some time before Robinson Township firefighters could get her out of the car.
She was flown from the scene by Aero Med helicopter to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital.

Pictures of Michigan from space never get old, do they?
Last Sunday, Oct. 13, American astronaut Karen Nyberg tweeted this excellent photograph of the Great Lakes taken on Aug. 23 from her vantage point orbiting the Earth aboard the International Space Station.
She posted the image on Twitter about 4:40 p.m., generating a cascade of re-tweets. As spectacular photos are wont to do, the image has spent the meantime making rounds on Facebook and other social media platforms.
The image shows four of the five Great Lakes. The sun's glint brightens lakes Erie and Ontario to the east, while lakes Michigan and Huron are seen in shades of deeper blue. Lake Superior and most of Michigan's Upper Peninsula are not in the frame.
The website io9, which posted about the photo under the header "space porn," noted the novelty of seeing one fifth of the world's fresh water in one photograph.
The bloggers over at National Geographic noted that the government shutdown did not stem the flow of spectacular cosmic photos from the camera-toting astronauts.
Michigan has drawn the attention of astronaut lenses before. On Oct. 7, Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano tweeted a photo of Detroit, embedded below. Earlier this year, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield tweeted nighttime and daytime photos of Grand Rapids from orbit.
Below is a sampling of the latest images from above. Enjoy!

By RON CHIMELIS
SPRINGFIELD - The principal owner of Springfield's NBA Developmental League team said nearly 800 season tickets have been sold for the team's inaugural 2009-10 season.
"Two months in, so far, so good," Michael Savit said Wednesday. "Plenty of seats are available, of course, but the good seats are going pretty quickly." The team's targeted average attendance for home games at the MassMutual Center is 3,500 to 4,000 per game.
Savit said the team expects to announce its name and unveil its logo sometime in June. A coach will be hired after the team's NBA affiliations are determined, also within the next month.
"Several NBA teams have shown interest," Savit said.
The NBA makes the final decision about affiliations, but the Springfield owners can submit recommendations. The coach's hiring is in the hands of the local owners.
Savit said that won't occur until after the affiliation is determined, to make sure the coach and his NBA parent club are a good match.
NBA Springfield conducted a name-the-team poll in late April, with the following names in contention: Armor, honoring the historic Springfield Armory; Colonials, paying tribute to Massachusetts being one of the original 13 British colonies that formed the United States; Founders, recognizing Springfield as the place where basketball was invented; and Spirit, celebrating the great history and civic pride embodied by Springfield, which was founded in 1635.
An open house will be held next Wednesday at the MassMutual Center, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. All staff members of the team will be on hand, and season ticket packages will be available for purchase.
For more information, call (413) 746-3263 or visit www.nbaspringfield.com.

KALAMAZOO – The unknowns of what the future holds for recruits signing with Western Michigan University's hockey program are beginning to diminish.
Colton Hargrove, one of two new signees in the spring signing period, explained his reason for joining the Broncos was rather simple.
"They're a growing program," the 6-foot-2, 212-pound forward said. "They have a great coaching staff with Andy Murray and (Rob) Facca and (Pat) Ferschweiler.
"I'm really excited about it. There is a lot of talent on the team and if we keep working hard, hopefully we'll make it to the NCAA tournament again and go farther."
Western Michigan, the defending Central Collegiate Hockey Association Tournament champions who made their second-consecutive NCAA tournament appearance last year, also signed Josh Pitt, a 6-3, 180-pound forward.
"He's a big kid and he can really shoot the puck," Facca said of Pitt, who will likely play center. "He can skate and he's a smart hockey player. He's another guy that will come in and fill the void from the seniors. He will help create competition for ice time, which I like."
Pitt, a Spencerville, Ontario native, played for the CCHL's Kemptville 73s and the Ottawa Junior Senators.
With Kemptville, he talled 37 points (28 goals, 9 assists) in 42 games and with the Junior Senators he recorded 22 points (8, 14) in 17 games. He played in five playoff contests with Ottawa and recorded a goal and two assists.
Pitt appears to bring a level of toughness to the table also, as he racked up 79 penalty minutes in the 2011-12 season and recorded at least 53 minutes in the box the previous two seasons with Kemptville.
Hargrove, a Rockwall, Texas native, recorded 16 goals with the USHL's Fargo Force this past season, which was the fourth-best mark on the team. The forward also dished out 22 assists and finished with a plus-1 rating.
Hargrove certainly brings an element of toughness as he led Fargo with 140 penalty minutes last season.
"He brings size and toughness," Facca said. "He has a really good shot and moves well for a big guy. He can really shoot it. He's a tough, hard-nosed player and we expect him to play like that."
Joining the two new signees in the incoming freshman class will be forward Nolan LaPorte, a 2010 signee who is currently playing for Green Bay in the USHL Clark Cup championship series, and defenseman Kenney Morrison.
Hargrove said he's very familiar with LaPorte and Morrison, a 6-2, 190-pounder who played for the USHL's Omaha Lancers, from their time facing off in juniors.
"LaPorte is a physical player and he's skilled and can score," Hargrove said of LaPorte, who has 70 points (36, 24) in 57 games this season. "Morrison is a good solid defenseman. He has a great shot. On the power play he takes a lot of one-timers. (Former WMU defenseman Matt) Tennyson did that and I think they're getting another one."
WMU has signed some taller players in recent years and now the Broncos will hope to start reaping the benefits.
Pitt joins Dane Walters (6-foot) and Will Kessel (6-2) as legitimate scoring threats over 6-feet tall.
It should help give the Broncos more of a presence in front of opposing goaltenders and help create more traffic at the net, an area WMU struggled with at times last season.
"We're definitely getting bigger," Facca acknowledged. "We want to be harder to play against. These guys are big and have skating ability and hockey sense."

Pretty staggering news from the Windsor Star's Craig Pearson: former Red Wings goalie Eddie Mio and his charitable foundation will make a staggering donation to the Sunshine Foundation, which grants wishes for "ill, challenged and abused children":
August 23, Windsor Star: Dave Batten and Eddie Mio have fulfilled dreams for almost two decades: now they will fulfil their own million-dollar wish. On Tuesday night, the dynamic duo will give one of the largest-ever private local donations when they hand the Sunshine Foundation a cheque for $1 million. It figures that the big dream of Batten and Mio, founders of Mio/Manz Charities, would be to give someone else a million-dollar ticket.
"It was Eddie's and my dream to raise $1 million for an endowment fund for kids," Batten said of the rare feat. "So this is our dream come true, that we are able to help facilitate dreams for all local kids who aren't as fortunate as my kids and Eddie's kids."
Pearson says that Mio/Manz Charities have given over $3 million to various charities over the past ten years, and before their annual charity golf tournament on Wednesday, Wayne Gretzky and several Red Wings alums will attend the cheque-signing event:
[O]n Tuesday night at the Caboto Club comes the blockbuster -- handing Sunshine Foundation the treasure -- at An Evening With the Legends. Some big names will appear, as per usual at Mio/Manz events, such as Bobby Hull, Dino Ciccarelli, Ted Lindsay, Mike Krushelnyski, Marcel Pronovost, Darren McCarty, Eddie Murray, and Steve Avery.

LONDON (AP) — Police say Sean Hoare, the whistleblower reporter who alleged widespread hacking at the News of the World, has been found dead.
Police said Hoare's death at his home in Watford, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of London, was being treated as unexplained but was not considered suspicious, according to Britain's Press Association.
Hoare was quoted by The New York Times as saying that phone-hacking was widely used and even encouraged at the News of the World tabloid under then-editor Andy Coulson.
Coulson, who most recently served as Prime Minister David Cameron's communications chief, was arrested as part of the widening investigation into phone hacking and police corruption.

Brookwood Medical Center is opposing Trinity Medical Center's application to move to the U.S. 280 corridor.
Today was the deadline to file such opposition with the State Health Planning and Development Agency.
Brookwood also has asked that Trinity's Certificate of Need application be deemed a contested case, meaning an administrative law judge would hold a hearing similar to a trial before the CON Review Board could vote on whether to allow Trinity to move the hospital to the half-completed former HealthSouth hospital.
Trinity, formerly Montclair Baptist Medical Center, won state approval to move to Irondale last year, but the new owners decided in the fall that the U.S. 280 location was better. Brookwood also opposed the move to Irondale.

Rigs targeting natural gas climbed by 5 units to 434. Rigs drilling for oil fell by 1 unit to 1,315. There were 4 rigs unclassified, unchanged from a week ago.
Rigs drilling directionally were reported at 181, up 1 unit from a week ago and 36 fewer than the comparable week last year. The number of rigs drilling horizontally held constant at 1,127. This compares with 1,185 rigs drilling horizontally in the comparable week a year ago.
Of the major oil and gas producing states, Texas was up 6 units to 819; Oklahoma, up 8 to 190; Colorado, up 4 to 55; and Louisiana, up 3 to 109.
Alaska was down by 5 to 6 rigs working while West Virginia's count dipped by 3 rigs to 24 rigs working. Meanwhile, North Dakota was down 1 rig to 178 total, and Pennsylvania was down 1 rig to 70 rigs total.
States showing no change for the week were Arkansas at 17; California, 31; New Mexico, 79; and Wyoming, 48.
Still different at the State of ND.....
Current Active Drilling Rig List
Total Rigs: 190
* MIRU - Moving In, Rigging Up.
** Next Location - Anticipated rig locations obtained from rig crews, may not be reliable, and are subject to change at any time.
I think the State numbers are correct.
Why would you think that? They're wrong on estimated recoverable amounts of oil aren't they? Or do you believe some body who's NOT affiliated with the state? Does the word "cherry pick" mean anything to you? Don't bother to answer, I already know it.
Who cares about either post. Thebottom line our country is awash in ol and nat gas. We don;t need to drill baby drill.

Fertilisation and embryology services at risk: CofE responds to Department of Health consultation
Proposals to absorb the services of two specialist health watchdogs into the Care Quality Commission to save half a million pounds per year have been criticised by the Mission and Public Affairs (MPA) Council.
In its response to a Department of Health Consultation, the MPA Council warns that "there are operational risks involved in transferring the functions" from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) and the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) as "theses functions require both considerable executive expertise and detailed non-executive scrutiny".
The response is available here.
The HFEA is the UK's independent regulator overseeing the use of gametes and embryos in fertility treatment and research; the HTA regulates organisations that remove, store and use tissue for research, medical treatment, post-mortem examination, teaching and display in public, and also gives approval for organ and bone marrow donations from living people.
The MPA Council response warns that "there are grave concerns with regard to the ability of the Care Quality Commission… to absorb the complexity and volume of the work conducted by the HFEA and HTA" and "the question then is whether savings… could really be delivered".
Recognising that the HFEA and HTA have already made 25 per cent and 27 per cent efficiency savings since 2010, the MPA Council response recommends the third of the Department of Health's three main proposed options: "The HFEA and HTA should retain their functions but deliver further savings."
It also recounts how a parliamentary review conducted between 2004 and 2008 considered a proposal to replace the HFEA and HTA with a single body, but recommended abandoning the proposal as it would lead to a significant loss of expertise, concluding that: "There has been no significant change in the roles of either the HFEA and HTA since then to suggest that a different conclusion would now be reached."
The Revd Dr Brendan McCarthy, National Adviser for Medical Ethics and Social Care Policy, said: "There is little doubt that even if the other factors did not militate against disbanding the HFEA and the HTA, the CQC is not currently equipped to take on their functions and this is not likely to change for some time to come."
A photo of the Revd Dr Brendan McCarthy is available here.

Droid X Rooted in spite of all the eFuse ballyhoo
Motorola Droid X raised some eyebrows regarding its rooting with Mobile Crunch going ahead to suggest its readers not to buy Droid X and many others believing that the eFuse protects the bootloader against any tampering by hard-fusing the phone in case of any attempt. Moments later after the rumor started taking ground, BGR clarified this as being a rumor and we provided coverage of these events, from the inception of this rumor to the release of an official statement from Motorola.
Now that the Droid X is out, hackers have been at work continuously and finally, some have claimed success in rooting the Droid X. Yes. The eFuse protected and (rumored) hack-proof Droid X is now hacked and pwned!
A post at the DroidX forum proudly announces this by saying "We has rootz!". The steps to root, which you can follow at your own risk, are given as:
Step 1: Set up ADB
Step 2: Push exploid to /sqlite_stmt_journals "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals"
Step 3: type "adb shell"
Step 4: type "cd sqlite_stmt_journals"
Step 5: type "chmod 755 exploid"
Step 6: type "./exploid" and follow directions on screen
Step 7: type "rootshell"
Step 8: type in password "secretlol"
Step 9: your in root!
Step 10: mount your sdcard to pc and put Superuser.apk and su in the sdcard
Step 11: unmount sdcard
Step 12: in adb (make sure your still in root with the # sign) type in:
– cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
– cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
– chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
However, it is highly recommended that you check out the actual thread at the DroidX forum for some important tips and information on the root.
Some users have already reported that this works and hopefully it does. For any support, join the thread and post your questions in replies.
Kudos to the guys at DroidX forum.

Justine Sacco boarded a flight to south Africa on Friday but not before letting her fingers sink her reputation internationally.
Sacco, senior director of corporate communications at InterActiveCorp, tweeted "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!"
IAC owns collegehumor.com, match.com and okcupid.com.
A tweet that ended @JustineSacco 's career :'(
#HasJustineLandedYet pic.twitter.com/FiRmlKNhaJ— Benjamin™ (@keBENJI) December 21, 2013
As you can imagine, the fallout has been enormous. Before midnight, Sacco had 3 million Twitter mentions.
Someone even purchased a website domain with her name in it and made it automatically redirect to an AIDS charity.
The trend "#HasJustineLandedYet" trended internationally on Friday night, with millions of people staring at their smart phones just like they watched television when OJ was running from the cops.
When she landed, she protected her Twitter account so that it wasn't visible, but a quick search on Twitter reveals that hundreds of people took a permanent picture of a tweet she may later regret.
IAC removed her name from their website's masthead, but it remains to be seen if she will keep her job.

The week of July Fourth seems an odd time to release a film that questions the patriotism of the president of the United States, but that is precisely what right-wing idol Dinesh D'Souza sets out to do in his new film America: Imagine the World Without Her.
The Great Debate
Sunny side up: why eggs are safer in Europe
The following is a guest post by Bonnie Azab Powell, co-founder of the food-politics blog The Ethicurean who started the Bay Area's first Community-Supported Agriculture program for meat, BAMCSA, in 2006. She now manages the CSA programs for Clark Summit and Soul Food farms. She eats two runny eggs nearly every day. The opinions expressed are her own.
America's season of rage and fear
Freedom in America will soon be a fading memory. American exceptionalism died on March 23, 2010. On that day, the United States started becoming just like any other country. Worse still, like a West European country. Socialism in the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Wyandotte Roosevelt was overpowered on offense and defense in a 31-3 loss to Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice in the Division 2 football state semifinals Saturday.
The Roosevelt offense was unsuccessful against the stifling defense of Brother Rice, with senior quarterback Kevin Matejko going 12-of-25 passing for just 110 yards and D'Aries Davis leading the running game with just 31 yards on eight carries.
Wyandotte's defense also had a tough day, allowing Brother Rice to gain 325 of total offense, with 266 of that on the ground. Brother Rice had four different players score.
"We came in here and we were prepared,'' Matejko said. "Brother Rice is a really good team and executed when they needed to. They got it done."
Wyandotte coach Ron Adams wasn't pleased with the way his team played.
"We made mistakes when you can't make them,'' he said. "More importantly, offensively it seemed like we moved the ball well at times, but we still had the same problems that we have had the last couple of weeks.
"We couldn't find a way of scoring when we had opportunities in the red zone."
The only score for Wyandotte came with 13.7 seconds left in the second quarter on junior Jacob Simpson's 39-yard field goal.
But Brother Rice came right back to make the halftime score 17-3 after Brian Walker's 63-yard kickoff return set up Jason Alessi's 36-yard field goal. It wasn't close after that.
"We came in confident. Our defense: they do what they do,'' Walker said. "There's not many things offenses can do against our defense.''
Brother Rice coach Al Fracassa is excited for what's in store for his team, which faces Muskegon in the Division 2 final at 1 p.m. Friday.
"We enjoy all the wins,'' he said. "This was a special one because we're going to Ford Field. Everybody's dream is to get there, so I think that our dream now is to see if we can win it.
"We've accomplished the dream, but now it's another thing to play against a very good team and prepare for them."
Wyandotte miss miss Matejko, the graduating quarterback.
"Kevin is a class act and a hard worker,'' Adams said. "He's a competitor and he wants to win. this kid is going to be missed.
"Quietly he led this program to 21 wins and hopefully he will be able to look back on this and say he was proud to be part of this program."
Matejko will miss Wyandotte football, too.
"Unforgettable, " he said. "This has been the most fun year of football for me. I love every one of these kids. They are like my brothers, and I'd die for them."
Next season there are high expectations for this Roosevelt team.
"This group took us to a step that we have never been to,'' Adams said. "They have laid the foundation for the future Bears and the future football program to get to the next step.''
Wyandotte Roosevelt had one of its best seasons in school history, tying the record for longest playoff run and setting the record for most victories in a season at 11-2.
"This season was filled with a lot of great memories,'' Adams said. "I'll appreciate it a lot more down the road."

Best and Worst of the 2012 MTV Movie Awards
Best: Kristen Stewart accepts the award for Best Kiss
This is hardly Kristen Stewart's first time at the MTV Movie Awards podium. In previous visits, she and "Twilight Saga" co-star and rumored (cough) boyfriend Robert Pattinson teased their fans with increasingly more intimate kisses on stage. This year, Pattinson wasn't in the house, but a confident Stewart tried to find someone, anyone to join her in a smooch. ""Rob's not here guys. I'm not sure what to do. Huntsman? Where's my Huntsman? Chris? Charlize, will you help me out? No, OK. Taylor, help an old friend? It's OK, I do pretty well by myself I think." Stewart then pretends to kiss herself. It might not have totally worked, but at least she realized the show needed some excitement.

Oak Harbor teens caught in the act of kindness
Oak Harbor Police Department Lt. John Dyer gave a talking to three North Whidbey teens last week.
The trio was singled out not for recklessness behavior or disturbing the peace, but rather for their individual contributions to the community.
A member of the Island County Children's Commission, Lt. Dyer bestowed a newly created honor on Paul Derting, Becca Moeia and Chad Merrill for making North Whidbey a better place.
The award, dubbed "Caught in the Act," recognizes the community's youngest good Samaritans.
A survey by the Children's Commission found that young people in the community crave more positive representation and adults wish for more opportunities to positively interact with teens, said Dyer.
Peggy Dyer, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County, nominated Paul Derting for his eagerness to give back to the program. For more than six years, Derting enjoyed the benefits of Big Brothers Big Sisters as a "little brother" to "big brother" Ron VanDyke until the teen grew out of the program at age 18.
"In the process of being mentored, Paul learned the value of having a role model and chose to become one," Dyer said. "He has a natural ability and willingness that can't be beat."
Paul now serves as a "big brother" to two younger boys in the community.
Anne Murphy, Oak Harbor Sno-Isle teen services librarian, nominated Merrill, a regular library visitor who started a card playing group for youth called "Every Duelist in Town," or E.D.I.T.
"Chad has shown both leadership and community building skills with the creation of E.D.I.T. I've watched the members learn to look out for each other and learn to resolve disputes in a productive manner," she said. "The club provides members an opportunity to socialize and really gives them a place to belong."
Moeia, a senior at Midway High School, was nominated by Midway High School teacher Leandra Reuble.
As part of her community service requirements for school, Moeia coordinated a food collection drive for the Ronald McDonald House. She worked with Safeway to make the arrangements, did all of the advertising for the collection and delivered more than 300 items of food to the charity.
Mayor Jim Slowik applauded the youth for their work in the community.
"Being a public servant is the best reward," he said.

HOOVER, Alabama -- Nick Saban has four national championship rings. The Alabama head football coach will pursue a fifth one this season.
But he never wears any of the jewelry.
Why is that?
"Uh, because I let the players design them," he said Thursday during a 30-minute interview with a group of beat reporters and national reporters that preceded his appearance in the main room at SEC Media Days 2013.
The reporters laughed.
"And they're about as big as ashtrays," Saban added, drawing more laughter.
"But really, you know, I guess you can do what you do for two different reasons:
"Do you do it for the attention that you get and or the accolades that you might get, and then do you show those things?
"Or do you get enough positive self-gratification from the accomplishment itself, being a part of a team that was successful."
Saban noted that Michael Jordan has said it doesn't matter how many game-winning shots someone makes.
"The only one that matters is the next one," Saban said. "There doesn't seem to be any purpose to me. I have them. They're there. They are something that we're proud of, and proud of the teams and all the people who worked hard – coaches, players, administrators in our athletic department that worked hard to help create the atmosphere to help make it happen – but it's not something that I feel I need to sort of put out there."
He was asked if he can enjoy the rings.
"Right now, I'm worried about this season coming up," said Saban, who has won three rings at Alabama and one at LSU.
A reporter noted that Saban has said he begins worrying about the next season the day after a championship game.
"Yeah," Saban acknowledged. "Probably that night."
So when does he have time to enjoy it, or will he before he retires.
"I enjoy it, and I'm happy," Saban said. "I'm just not overwhelmed and elated and let that become a part of who you are. You change what's important in the things you need to focus on to continue to maybe try to have and be successful.
"I'm happy about it. I enjoyed it, but it's kind of over and done with now. You're looking at the next challenge, and there's certainly a lot of them out there."

COLLEGE PARK, MD. -- Last weekend, I was in NYC for theater, this week I was in Pittsburgh for theater -- so much to see, you had to choose. Chris Rawson and Bob Hoover covered the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts' finales, "The God That Comes" and "Measure Back." On Thursday I went to see Bricolage's "Midnight Radio -- Episode 2: The War of the Worlds" and on Friday, Point Park Conservatory's "Oklahoma!" Had to keep a date and run down to Maryland to spend Saturday watching college football in the cold sun, but here's a look back.
Bricolage's "Midnight Radio: The War of the Worlds"
The friendly folks at Bricolage are bringing back those nasty Martians from "War of the Worlds" and setting them loose in Western Pennsylvania for the 75th anniversary of the famed Orson Welles broadcast. The Howard Koch script (from the H.G. Wells novel) gets a PA makeover but it's pretty much the same formula that scared the heck out of radio listeners in 1938, reimagined as a live stage show with sound effects, musical accompaniment and some commercials spoofs of things like pantyhose to lighten the mood.
I didn't see Midnight Radio's first go at "WOTW" in 2010, but this one was fun from threshold to finish, with Bricolage's Liberty Avenue entry way remade as an archway of robotic legs. Once inside, there was a table set up for the craftsy kid in us to create our own little robots and set them on miniature cityscapes, plus Ryder Henry spaceship sculptures hovering throughout the lobby.
The cast of Paul Guggenheimer, Randy Kovits, Jason McCune and Sean Sears, with Tami Dixon providing most of the Foley sound effects, retells the tall tale of death and destruction by high-tech Martians and their horrifyingly efficient "heat rays." Directed by Jeffrey Carpenter and with musical accompaniment by the Ortner-Roberts Trio, the first half is very much the broadcast that leaves you wondering:
Could I have fallen for this back in the day? Without the instant updates of Twitter and instant communication, if I had tuned in after the intro in 1938, would I have been sucked in? I'd like to believe I would have though, "This is really realistic," rather than, "Aaaah!" If you've watched the trailers for "Ender's Game," they begin with Harrison Ford saying, "When the aliens invaded the first time, we weren't ready …" I think back in 1938, some people weren't ready for the power of the medium of radio.
The second half is mostly Guggenheimer as a scientist working his from McConnell's Mill to Downtown Pittsburgh through a post-apocalyptic landscape, and the resolution of the invasion, and he does a fine job, including a disturbing encounter with McCune as a survivor planning how the world will look if the aliens can be vanquished.
It's a fine way to spend time an evening this Halloween season and a relief for folks like me who like my chills to be thoughtful and not the gory, in-your-face kind. If you can't make it to Bricolage's Downtown home, "WOTW" broadcasts live on WESA 90.5 FM on Oct. 30.
Point Park University Conservatory Theatre Company's "Oklahoma!"
How cool to see so many kids from local high schools and the Kelly Awards making so good in a sparkling production of "Oklahoma!" by Point Park's conservatory students. Director Patrick Cassidy has picked a uniformly fine cast, with scene-stealers Amanda Lee Hawkins as Aunt Eller, Jorie Ann Kosel as Ado Annie and Ryan Gregory Thurman as Ali Kakim backing up talented leads Stanley Graham as Curly and Kirsten Lynn Hoover as Laurey. I can't help but think of Luke Halferty as Tevye for Central Catholic High and the Kellys when I see him playing the menacing Jud Fry and wonder at the range of the Point Park junior.
The volume was pumped up to the point of distraction when I saw the show on Friday -- certainly, Graham's powerful pipes didn't need the boost -- but otherwise, oh what a beautiful production. It includes a tight, athletic dance ensemble led by Zeva Barzell and a subtly changing skycape by Jessi Sedon-Essad, with everyone lit lovingly by Scott Nelson. Richard Rodgers' classic score also was in capable hands under music director Michael McKelvey, who conducted an unseen but appreciated nine-piece orchestra.
"Oklahoma!" continues at the Pittsburgh Playhouse's Rockwell Theatre through Oct. 27.

beautifull statue but strange choice Mike Tyson playing chess... The current world champion would be a better choice dr. Vitaly Klischko .. he has a PhD in sports sience and philosophy.
i copied this from... wikipedia:
Both Vitali and his brother are avid chess players. Vitali is a friend of former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik and the two have played, with Kramnik always winning. Vitali has commented that "chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what's the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights."[69]
also european boxing champion of the past was a good chess player.. Max Euwe... :)
nice chessbase article is here with foto's .. for those who are interested :)
Mike Tyson was a strange choice.
The sculpturer wanted to use Lukashenko as a prototype. Though got a call to change his mind. Then he went with Tyson.
In a few days I will post again chess paintings on this page.
Thx Tantale this is a very good forum-topic.
iam happy to see you back tantale also on jan timman studies elsewhere :)
Yes, I echo the others ... great site and I look forward to more beautiful chess art :)
Your drawing on Karpov is great.
I put it on the chess diaporama http://www.jmrw.com/Chess/Tableau_echecs/index.htm
This the original
If you prefer the original tell me.
In 2005 I made this photo Of Anatoly Karpov:
Now Kasparov, Fischer, ...
It is a very nice drawing of Karpov, partly (for me anyway) because it de-emphasizes his "fetus" look.
(Is there a word meaning the opposite of a caricature?)
hi fburton... it's because you don't see his shoulders... when you see the relationship his head looks very big. (when he was young)
Thanks Tantale, your edit of the foto is better... more contrast.
i always liked the way Karpov looks during the 80's when i was young... i was for him during the K vs. K match.... so i don't realy like Kasparov :) and i could not find a good kasparov picture to use...
i'll try Fischer later... today i started another worldchampion...
Oh, j-pax : my immediate reaction : great !
Emanuel Lasker, so close by and yet "elusive" as that is the good term I found in the dictionary for what I mean to say, in Dutch "onbegrijpelijk" en "ongrijpbaar", not to understand how he thinks and not to virtually touch... (let somebody else translate, please)
ah RomyGer.. i am glad you can see it is Lasker.... i would expect it because he's your favorite.... maybe it's interesting to post another photo before i finish it ??
@ j-pax : you're asking me to post another picture before finishing that drawing, but please leave it, it's good and any art is never ready, isn't it ?
By the way, this topic is not only about Emanuel Lasker, it's about art in general, but nevertheless I will post two collages I've just made...
Instead of two collages, just four caricatures of Emanuel Lasker, the first two by Max Oppenheim.
Enough about chess greats, sitting on a desert island, thinking about chess, forgetting everything, reminds me of what W.S. Churchill said : It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma : but perhaps there is a key.
So, be happy, chess exists.
And this is the picture I forgot to post with the previous one...
