- Abstract
- Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between attitudes to academic achievement and post university success using perceptions of attractiveness, gender, ethnic identity, personality, and social acceptance as antecedents. Design/methodology/approach: An online questionnaire was completed by male (N=116) and female (N=126) university students from various cultural backgrounds. To evaluate the proposed relationships, multiple regression analysis was used. Findings: The findings suggest that attractiveness is related to attitudes to academic achievement and success through its association with social appeal and acceptance. Ethnic identity is also related to both academic achievement and post university success. Personality is not positively related to academic achievement. Finally, social acceptance is positively related to academic achievement for males and to success for females. Research limitations/implications: Whilst the survey targeted students from various cultural backgrounds studying in Australia, it did not look at university students from other countries. A cross-cultural perspective could reveal further differences in attitudes. Originality/value: This study links attractiveness and academic achievement theories. The findings have implications for tertiary institutions and suggest academics and policy-makers to vigorously promote core personality and values such as intelligence, communication skills, and sincerity, rather than allow superficial values such as attractiveness to be placed at the centre stage of students' endeavour.

|NOLS India
|$2,400 Learn about Financial Aid
|Equipment Deposit
|Minimum Age
|14 Days
|Outdoor Educator
|Fly in/out
High School Credit
This 14-day backpacking course is primarily for Indians and those from neighboring countries in the 15-17 age group.
There's nothing quite like seeing the remote wilderness on your own two feet, carrying all your own gear on your back while gaining the tools necessary to become a great leader in the backcountry and at home.
Backpacking courses often hike three out of every four days. You'll travel in small hiking groups so you have more opportunities to lead, make decisions, and map read as you move through beautiful wilderness. Hiking days begin early when you light your stove, cook and enjoy breakfast, and then organize and pack your pack.
You're usually hiking by mid-morning. Lunch on the trail might be bread you baked the day before, or a trail mix of nuts and dried fruits. You may stop for a short class on natural history, or to learn how to cross a river, travel through boulders or snow, or move over a high pass. When you arrive at your new camp location, you'll first spend time choosing a Leave No Trace site and organizing camp, then you'll prepare a well-deserved dinner. If the day was long, a short evening meeting may wrap up the day. If the hike was short, there may be a class or discussion.
Dev Bhoomi, called "The Abode of the Gods," is a land steeped in culture, history, and mythology. It is the setting for some of NOLS' most advanced cultural adventures. You will explore the Kumaon and Garhwal regions of India–places of staggering beauty, high ranges, and ancient civilizations as you walk some of the oldest trade routes between India and Tibet alongside the birthplace of the sacred Ganga River.
Our base in the mountain town of Ranikhet in the state of Uttarakhand, a peaceful rural haven with spectacular views of the Himalayas is where you will acclimatize before heading for the high country.
All our courses have at least one Indian NOLS field instructor, who's extensive knowledge of the region and its human and natural history will be a highlight of your experience. Your introduction to the languages, myths, cultures, and wild beauty of this country will be complete.
You'll hike through subtropical forests and high alpine meadows, attaining heights you never thought possible—both in elevation and in what you are able to achieve as a NOLS student.

The overarching theme of the cognitive neuroscientists associated with the Centre is to identify how multiple perceptual streams are integrated and then translated into meaningful actions whether those actions are wish conspecifics or inanimate objects. Not only are these processes fundamental to our very being, they represent the questins that virtually all of neuroscience ultimately seeks to answer.

"The girls are playing hard every pitch, but the softball gods just aren't smiling on us at this time. There is no quit in us, and we will continue to play hard," said head coach Frank Moron.
In Friday's action, the Cougars lost the opener to the Chaparrals 7-1.CBC scored in the top of the first to take a 1-0 lead but the home team tied the contest in the home half and then scored three runs in the second to take control. Single runs in each of the next three frames put the game away for the Alvin ladies. The Cougars were held to two hits with Alyssa Smith and Samantha Cantu getting the base knocks. Smith was credited with the lone CBC RBI.
A late Cougar rally almost tied the second game of the day, but the Chaparrals hung on for a 6-4 victory.
Alvin led 6-0 heading into the top of the sixth. The Cougars scored one in the sixth and then rallied for three more runs in the seventh before Alvin could get the third and final out of the contest.
Brianna Sandoval and Cantu each had two hits for the Cougars in the loss.
On Saturday, the Cougars were in Galveston to tangle with the Whitecaps. The first game of the day was a blowout as the Whitecaps captured an easy 16-0 five-inning victory.
J.J. Hernandez (2), Danielle Doria and Smith had hits for the Cougars in that contest.
The nightcap on Saturday was not much more competitive as the home team scored a 9-1 victory over the CBC women in six innings.
Galveston plated one run in the second, but the CBC women tied the game with a run in the top of the third. The Whitecaps started to churn in the fourth with two runs crossing the plate. Three Galveston runners came home in each of the next two innings to put the game away at 9-1.
The Cougars got just one hit in the game as Cantu belted a solo home run for their third inning run.
The CBC team will have a doubleheader on Thursday at the University of Texas at Tyler. The Cougars won't be back at home until April 12 when they entertain Lamar State College in a doubleheader that begins with the first pitch in game one at 2 p.m. at the field in Veterans Memorial Park.

The gun lap
February 9, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — The winter sports season hurtles closer toward its finish and the results are becoming increasingly more dramatic. With the results of the indoor track divisional championships and the imminence of the OCIAA and Sullivan County Indoor Track Championships slated for February 10, 11 and 13, not to mention the coming Section 9 Division I and II wrestling championships at Monroe-Woodbury and Rondout Valley to be held respectively on February 11 and 12, along with the Section 9 Alpine skiing sectionals at Hunter Mountain on February 14, the coming week will evince the crowning of champions. For some elite athletes and teams, it means an invitation to continue their quest for even bigger quarry.
This coming week, a couple of basketball division titles will be on the line as Fallsburg's boys (6-1 OCIAA) will look for a February 8 redemption against Seward (7-0 OCIAA) for an early season overtime loss and a share of the Division V title. Tri-Valley's girls, the defending Class C champions who remain unbeaten, can move closer to the Division V title with wins over Seward and a hoped-for season sweep of mighty Tuxedo as they host the Lady Tornadoes on February 9. In a February 10 rematch of their raucous first meeting, the Sullivan West and Liberty boys will vie in Lake Huntington. The Indians won the first encounter, but had the result reversed by their use of an ineligible player. Liberty aspires to register a plea to Section 9 to be included in this year's sectionals.

Stages of Readiness for Change
According to James O. Prochaska, a psychologist who has done extensive research on behavior change, people go through five stages when making changes—and usually cycle through these stages three to four times before a change is firmly established. (The sixth stage, termination, is at the end of the cycles.)
It is important to recognize where you are in the cycle of change so you can set appropriate goals and action steps. Prochaska suggests that each stage requires different strategies or tools.
If you set goals that you are not ready for, you set yourself up for failure. Similarly, if you choose goals that you have already mastered, you will delay your progress. But if you match your goals to your stage of change, you will maximize your ability to change.
The descriptions of each stage listed are taken from Prochaska's book Changing for Good.
"People at this stage usually have no intention of changing their behavior, and typically deny having a problem. Although their families, friends, neighbors, doctors, or co-workers can see the problem quite clearly, the typical precontemplator can't."
Precontemplators resist change. They may change if there is enough constant external pressure, but once the pressure is removed, they quickly revert. Precontemplators are often demoralized and don't want to think about their problem because they feel that the situation is hopeless. "There is certain comfort in recognizing that demoralization is a natural feeling that accompanies this stage-and in realizing that if you take yourself systematically through all the stages of change, you can change."
"I want to stop feeling so stuck. Those simple words are typical of contemplators. In the contemplation stage, people acknowledge that they have a problem and begin to think seriously about solving it. Contemplators struggle to understand their problem, see its causes, and begin to wonder about possible solutions."
However, while people in this stage may have vague plans to make changes, they are often not ready to take action yet. Many people remain in the contemplation stage for years.
Most people in the preparation stage are planning to make changes within the next month. An important first step is to make their intention public. "But although those in the preparation stage are committed to action, and may appear ready, they have not necessarily resolved their ambivalence. They may still need to convince themselves that this is the best step."
This last-minute resolution is necessary. People who cut the preparation stage short lower their chances of success. It is important to develop a firm, detailed scheme for action to carry you through.
"The action stage is the one in which people most overtly modify their behavior and surroundings. They stop smoking, remove all desserts from the house, pour the last beer down the drain, or confront their fears. In short, they make the move for which they have been preparing.
Action is the most obviously busy period, and the one that requires the greatest commitment of time and energy. Changes made during the action stage are more visible to others than those made during other stages."
It is important to realize that, while the action stage is the one that usually receives the most amount of recognition, it is not the only stage during which you can make progress toward overcoming your problem.
In the maintenance stage, you consolidate the gains you made in the action stage and work to prevent relapses.
This stage is a long, ongoing, and critically important process. We all know someone who lost many pounds on a diet, but regained them all in a few months. Successful maintenance requires active alertness.
The termination stage is the ultimate goal. Here, your former addiction or problem will no longer present any temptation or threat. You will not need to make any further effort and will exit the cycle of change.
However, some experts believe that certain problems cannot be terminated but only kept at bay.

In those days all the Denny siblings considered twice baked potatoes to be the ultimate gourmet treat, something my mother didn't make very often for the twelve (12!) people she was cooking for.
I made this last night for my brother Mark, his wife Lisa, and two of my nephews and their wives, and it was a hit with everyone (even those who thought they didn't like cauliflower!) I did eliminate the butter and reduce the amount of bacon, to make it more South Beach Diet friendly, but your choice on that!
(Low-Carb Twice Baked Cauliflower was updated with better photos and a slightly lightened recipe, November 2011.)
Low-Carb Twice Baked Cauliflower
(Makes 6-8 servings; recipe adapted slightly from The Low Carb Gourmet.)
1 large head cauliflower
4 oz. low fat or regular cream cheese (do not use fat free)
1/2 cup low fat or regular sour cream (do not use fat free)
1/4 cup minced green onions
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (If you only have finely grated Parmesan, use a bit less)
6 slices bacon, cooked until very crisp, fat blotted with paper towel and then crumbled
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (I used Kraft 2% milk sharp cheddar, but use the cheese you prefer as long as it's sharp cheddar)
South Beach Diet / Low-Carb Suggestions:
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

November 20, 2012 —
A huge blaze broke out in the Hoos Building in Livingston Manor at about 3:30 p.m on November 20. The building housed the popular eatery The Lazy Beagle, as well as the businesses Willow and Brown, Moose be Morning and Hot Corner Collectibles.
Residents said there was a series of several explosions early on, which may have been caused by exploding propane tanks. Witnesses said the blaze spread quickly to all of the stores.
Electricity was shut off throughout the hamlet for a while, and Main Street was closed to traffic for several hours. By 7:20, the power had been restored to most areas.
At about 6:30 p.m. a firefighter said that because the building was next to a sidewalk, it would have to be taken down completely, and officials were seeking equipment to perform the task.
A post on the Lazy Beagle's Facebook page said, "We regret to inform you that the Lazy Beagle entered into mortality on Nov. 20, 2012. We are grateful no one lost their life and we are especially grateful to our amazing customers who made it worth going to work every day. We are unsure if...there were injuries, as the debris field was quite extensive and we are hoping and praying that everyone is unharmed. We'll keep you posted. For now, thank you so much for the outpouring of support. You have no idea how we appreciate it."
The restaurant was owned by Ryan Foster, and the building was owned by his father Barry Foster.

Arkansas AG seeks executions for 7 felons
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Arkansas attorney general asked Gov. Mike Beebe to set execution dates for seven death row inmates, according to letters obtained Friday by The Associated Press.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel noted in the letters sent to Beebe late Thursday that six of the seven inmates are challenging the states new lethal injection law and protocol, which calls for Arkansas to use a drug that has never before been used for lethal injections in the U.S.
However, McDaniel said there arent any court orders in place preventing executions of those seven prisoners.
The Arkansas Supreme Court said earlier this year that such orders were dissolved when the justices struck down the states lethal injection law in 2012. The court ruled that, in the old law, state legislators had ceded too much control over execution procedures to the Department of Correction.
So, legislators this year enacted a new law that says the state must use a lethal dose of a barbiturate. However, the new law leaves it up to the Department of Correction to pick the drug.
The AP reported last month that the state plans to use phenobarbital, which is used to treat seizures, in lethal injections from now on.
Arkansas hasnt put a prisoner to death since 2005, and for now, the state doesnt have any pending executions. Thats expected to change, though its not clear when.
Beebe spokesman Matt DeCample said Friday that the governor will set execution dates, despite his misgivings about the death penalty. Beebe, a Democrat, said earlier this year that he would sign legislation abolishing capital punishment if lawmakers would send him such a bill. State Sen. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, proposed just that, but the measure never made it to the governors desk.
Despite anyones personal feelings about the death penalty itself, its a very unique and different situation to be the person that has to sign that final warrant, DeCample said Friday. Thats what (Beebes) facing doing now again and he will do it, but it is not by any means a pleasant experience.
McDaniels letters request execution dates for seven of the states 37 death row inmates: Don Davis, Stacey Johnson, Jack Jones, Jason McGehee, Bruce Ward, Kenneth Williams and Marcel Williams.
Attorney Jeff Rosenzweig filed a lawsuit last week in Pulaski County Circuit Court on behalf of those inmates, except Davis. Rosenzweig filed paperwork with the court Friday asking to add Davis and two other death row inmates to the suit, which contends that the new lethal injection law is unconstitutional.
Rosenzweig also said he hopes the governor doesnt set execution dates.
But if he does, then we will go to court, Rosenzweig said.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. Full StoryTroubling as the details of the McLaren Report were, a news item out of Russia earlier this week... Full Story

The Food Distribution Program (FDP) is one of the Child Nutrition Programs administered by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). Through this program, eligible institutions are able to receive food made available by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Currently, those institutions eligible to receive this food include schools and other sponsors of the National School Lunch Program as well as some sponsors of the Summer Food Service Program for Children.
The food is distributed to eligible institutions through a network of warehouses throughout the state. There is a nominal cost per case to support the intra-state costs of storage, handling and delivery. Some recipients increase their utilization of this program by diverting raw products directly from USDA to authorized processors of final products.
Below, please find a variety of resources from both the USDA and the IDOE as well as links to two common sources of processor information.

Accusations and emotions flew at an elections commission meeting on Tuesday, to try and address the ballot shortage fiasco that turned Hawaii's general election into a nightmare.
Ultimately, the commission decided to appoint a two-member subcommittee to help the commission slog though the details before members make a decision on what to do next. That committee will convene with the elections commission in early January.
During the more than three hour testimony, Hawaii County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi said she wants the state to return control to Hawaii County to run its operations.
She once again accused Chief Elections Officer Scott Nago of poor communication and for not shouldering enough of the blame for what went wrong during the primary and the general.
She also said t-shirts printed for general election staffers, that showed a polling book with Hawaii County and her polling place checkmarked was a personal attack and she demanded an apology from Nago.
Nago did not say the move was done purposefully, but did offer an apology.
He also revealed elections supervisor Lori Tomscyk, who was overseeing ballot operations on the Big Island during the general, was relieved of her duties, because he said she was the one who came up with the calculation on how many ballots to order during the general.
At its core, that calculation was based on voter registration numbers for the primary.
The primary typically has lower turnout than the general, but he said the 2012 primary was the only election to date that reflected the current redistricted lines.
Nago said that calculation will never be used again, and they are in the process of discussing which calculation they should go by in the future.
Two commission members called for enough ballots to be printed to cover 100% of the voters registered in Hawaii, a request Nago said is not done in any other state or county.
Sen. Sam Slom and a few other testifiers demanded Nago be fired and possibly other staff replaced.
The commission reminded attendants the members are all voluntary, hold other jobs, and some live on other islands. Chair Bill Martson, who lives on Kauai, said they will work with the new subcommittee to make a decision soon after the January meeting.

March 17, 2010—The work of James Henry Breasted, an 1890 alumnus of North Central College in Naperville, is being honored with an exhibit at the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago through Aug. 31.
"Pioneers to the Past: American Archaeologists in the Middle East, 1919-1920," follows Breasted's travels through Egypt and Mesopotamia in the unstable aftermath of World War I. Breasted, a leading Egyptologist, founded the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago in 1919, and the goal of this journey was to acquire artifacts for the new institute and to select sites for later excavation.
Breasted (1865-1935) is widely believed to be the real-life inspiration for the Indiana Jones character portrayed by Harrison Ford in a series of Steven Spielberg movies.
Breasted's story is told by never-before-exhibited photos, artifacts, letters and archival documents, including his elaborate passport and the wind-torn American flag he carried on the trip. He made important purchases of antiquities during his trip. Excerpts from his letters that describe the dealers and his negotiations are juxtaposed next to these objects, most of which have not been exhibited for decades.
Breasted's inspiration as a pioneer in archeology likely came from a variety of influences. After several semesters at then North-Western College—now North Central College in Naperville—Breasted pursued the ministry at Chicago Congregational Seminary where he was introduced to the Hebrew language. He returned to North-Western to complete his degree before going to Yale University for a Ph.D. in philosophy.
By tracing his travels, you can also learn about issues still relevant today, such as the interactions between archaeology and politics and the importance of historic artifacts to natural identity.
"This exhibit gives us a fascinating glimpse of a pivotal moment in history—the birth of the modern Middle East as we know it today and at the same time, the genesis of modern archaeological research in the cradle of civilization," says Oriental Institute Director Gil Stein.
The exhibit is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by noted archaeologists and historians, as well as a reprint of the 1943 biography of Breasted written by his son, Charles.
Breasted was a widely known member of the University of Chicago faculty whose field of work captured the attention of religious-minded philanthropists—like John D. Rockefeller Jr.—who were intent upon learning more about the ancient Near East. In the years before oil irrevocably changed Western perceptions of the ancient Fertile Crescent, few adventures stimulated popular expectations more than Breasted's archaeological explorations.
North Central College Trustee Misty Gruber and her husband Lewis Gruber will host an exclusive event for alumni and friends at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 19, at the museum. This is the first event in the Sesquicentennial Legacy Series, which was created to chronicle the heritage of North Central College alumni and friends whose accomplishments continue to inspire new generations. The College was founded in 1861 and will mark its Sesquicentennial in 2011. Alumni and friends may contact the College's Office of Alumni Relations at 630-637-5200 or email@example.com by April 14 to R.S.V.P.
The Oriental Institute Museum is located at 1155 E. 58th St., Chicago. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays, and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $7/adults, $4/children; call 773-702-9514 or visit http://oi.uchicago.edu to learn more.

Zombies, wounds and horror movies;Kelly Smith makes magic out of makeup
June 21, 2012 —
Zombies recently invaded Eldred Central High School (ECS), not long after a gory car crash and its lacerated victims were treated by emergency personnel in the school parking lot. The zombies never made the news, and the prom crash won't appear in any police reports. That's because both were staged events, with ultra-realistic special effects executed by a gifted ECS high school senior who appears to have found her calling.
"My ultimate goal is to become a special effects makeup artist for movies and music videos, preferably anything with horror and gore—that's my specialty," said Kelly Smith, who is set to graduate this weekend. "I've always felt a strong connection with movies and the way they inspire people. I've also always been interested in makeup. One day, I put the two together and realized—that's what I want to do with my life."
Kelly discovered there was such a career by watching Face Off, a television show on the Syfy cable network in which prosthetic makeup artists compete to create prostheses for science fiction and horror films.
"I learned what it takes to be one of those makeup artists," said Kelly. "It's amazing how much goes into creating characters in movies. You have to be able to sculpt and have a strong imagination. I'm going to have to learn anatomy and bone structure and how an old cut would look compared to a fresh cut."
In pursuit of those skills, Kelly will attend the Douglass Education Center in Monessen, PA near Pittsburgh, which has a reputation as the Zombie Capital due to the number of zombie movies that have been shot there. "They even have zombie walks there," said Kelly. "It's where I belong."
Kelly is enrolled in the Tom Savini Special Makeup Effects Program. Savini's credits include "Friday the 13th," "Dawn of the Dead," "Day of the Dead," "Creepshow" and more. She will earn an associates degree and study with professionals in the industry. "You have to have connections; that's how you get hired," said Kelly. "That's going to be hard for me cause I'm kind of quiet. But I'm coming out of my shell now. I've found what I want to do and it's a great feeling."
Before leaving ECS, Kelly shared her skills one last time to create zombies for the senior prank. Kelly woke at 4 a.m. to do her own makeup, then got to school by 6:30 a.m. to transform other students. After turning off the school lights, the pranksters announced over the PA system that a virus had broken out and zombies had infiltrated the school. "We paraded around and scared a lot of little kids," said Kelly. "It was all in good fun."

Attention SEAL Team Six! Stop all overseas operations and return to base. Your next mission takes you to Rocky Mountain National Park, where, under cover of night, you'll be stealthily stopping an invasion … of elk.
We're joking, of course. Navy SEALs won't be helping to thin the herd in Colorado's most popular crown jewel. But the Park Service's preferred approach is only slightly less absurd, involving the hiring of specialized sharpshooters to conduct elk hunts at night, using night-vision equipment and silencers. That way, the public never has to see, or know, what's going on.
It's obviously the most expensive, convoluted and politically correct way to get the job done — which is why it's the option favored by the feds.
In what strikes us as a more common-sense approach, several members of Congress want to give recreational hunters a chance to help thin the herd, under the strict supervision of park officials and the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Many hunters would jump at the chance, and probably happily pay a hefty fee, to bag an elk in the park.
The job would get done cheaper and faster, speeding relief to the stressed ecosystem. All that's required is the suspension of a park hunting ban.
But park officials prefer an approach that combines Rube Goldberg with James Bond. "There are also 90 years of expectations that visitors can recreate here and not be displaced by hunters," park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson said in a recent news story. Apparently, being displaced by locust-like elk herds stripping the park bare is more in line with visitors' expectations.
We think most visitors would not only tolerate hunters but welcome them, once they understand the hunt is necessary to protect the park. And some of them might even join in, paying hunting fees that could save the taxpayers money and help restore damaged areas.
But park officials refuse to address the issue honestly, preferring to hide park management realities with exorbitantly expensive, high-tech night hunts.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's celluloid vision of his "The Great Gatsby" might have looked only slightly different than Baz Luhrmann's ("Moulin Rouge!") over-the-top interpretation of the celebrated novelist's 1925 novel. After all, Fitzgerald's book is full of excesses: booze, broads, and all that jazz; Luhrmann's film is a contemporary commentary on excesses, too, with subtle barbs as to how we haven't evolved that far in 88 years.
For those whose high school literature teachers didn't require "Gatsby" as reading in the eleventh grade, here's the plot. And, by the way, to Luhrmann's credit, he stays faithful to the story, time period and dialogue.
Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), who is working on Wall Street as a bond trader, rents a small house on Long Island nestled between some of its biggest mansions. Carraway, the narrator of the story and wannabe writer, marvels at those with "new" money. His cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), is married to aristocratic sportsman and polo champ Tom (Joel Edgarton), a womanizer who spends his time on the wrong side of the tracks with the local mechanic's wife, Myrtle (Isla Fisher). Turns out that Carraway's neighbor Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), whose weekend indoor pool parties are legendary, knows Daisy all too well. In fact, the two were star-crossed lovers. Now Gatsby wants her back and his new neighbor is going to help him.
Luhrmann's film opens on a snowy scene; Carraway is in a sanitarium and is recounting the story of what happened one self-discovering summer in 1922. In old-school Hollywood style, the star of the show isn't introduced until a half hour or so into the film. And it is quite a buildup. Luhrmann's lens burns straight into DiCaprio, giving him a Hollywood hero's introduction that recalls leading man intros by early 20th century directors reserved for the likes of Clark Gable. And it's just one of many crescendos that the filmmaker builds in to his story with symphonic like finesse.
The soundtrack is a dizzying cacophony itself. Much of it is punctuated with hip hop that finds its beat with Jazz Age influenced melodies; it was executive produced by Jay-Z and includes tracks by will.i.am, Lana Del Ray and Jack White. While purists seem most offended by this assault on the senses, the choice only furthers the movie's maniacal mood swings.
In shooting his film in 3-D, Luhrmann also goes one step further to force his point of view and makes the choice for his audience in how he wants his "Gatsby" interpreted. While 3-D action films immerse the viewer in the goings on, here it has the opposite effect, creating a distance between the moviegoer and the action on screen. The outcome is genius effect -- somewhat like watching a storybook unfold. Luhrmann overtly tells this audience on more than one occasion that this is exactly what he has in mind by displaying key phrases that pass and float across the screen.
Because Luhrmann is really the star of this film, the actors take a back seat to the on-screen spectacle. DiCaprio does a mash-up of a trio of the rich and powerful men he's played before, delivering a hybrid of his Howard Hughes character in "The Aviator," Herbert Hoover in "J. Edgar" and huckster Frank Abagnale in "Catch Me If You Can." His Gatsby never really leaps off the page. Maguire as the wide-eyed Midwesterner from Minnesota grabs leading man status from DiCaprio at every turn.
And while leading lady Mulligan has great chemistry with Maguire and Edgarton, her scenes with DiCaprio are as frigid as the winter waters of Long Island Sound
There's a memorable line that's oft repeated from "The Great Gatsby" -- a quote from Carraway who is describing a woman he's recently met. "I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity," he says. It's an apt summation of the emotions moviegoers may feel after spending 142 minutes with "The Great Gatsby" as seen through the eyes of one of modern cinema's most adventurous directors.

Manuel Wins #500; Phillies Sweep Rockies
The Phillies manager, Charlie Manuel, collected his 500th victory for the team today with a 4-game sweep of the Rockies. Only two other Phils managers since 1900 have more wins: Gene Mauch, 645 and Danny Ozark, 594.
The game did not start well as pitcher Joe Blanton quickly gave up 2 runs in the first innings to the anxious Rockies who were hoping to salvage one game in this series. But, despite a few walks, Blanton was sharp after the 1st and wound up going 6 innings.
The Phillies offense got them back into the game quickly, which was also a huge help. In order, Ross Gload singled, Greg Dobbs doubled and Brian Schneider tripled. All that was missing was a home run. Instead of the homer, Blanton reached first on a missed catch by Jason Giambi at first.
But then Jimmy Rollins batted and wound up fouling a ball off his foot, sending him to the ground in pain. He limped through the rest of the game and afterwards had an X-Ray. There was no break; he just has a bruise. However, it is still unknown how long he may have to rest his foot before playing again. Here is the sequence, with a nice moment of sportsmanship too:
Things got quiet for a while after that until the Phillies scored 2 more runs in the 6th. Placido Polanco and Raul Ibanez each hit RBI-singles to extend the lead. But many players contributed to the offense today, especially Schneider, with the huge triple in the 2nd and he also walked and scored in the 6th. Greg Dobbs went 2 for 4 and Polanco had 2 hits as well. Here are a few shot from the game:
There was some great defense and really amazing efforts on tough plays also:
And then came the heart-stopping 9th inning. You know when I mention heart attacks, Brad Lidge must somehow be involved, right? Well he sure was. It started with a double, but Lidge got two outs after that. With just one out to go, ahead of the batter in the count, Lidge grooved a fastball right over the plate which Seth Smith hammered for a 2-run homer, cutting the lead to 5-4. Two walks and a single later and the bases were loaded…again…just like the day before. But Lidge finally got a ground ball, which he fielded himself for the final out.
While Lidge is totally on my last nerve with these cardiac episode inducing outings, what is the alternative? Do we need a new closer? Probably. But has anyone else in the pen proved they can handle the job? No. This is the proverbial rock and a hard place. Others have tried to close and failed, like Ryan Madson, for example. So sadly, it looks like we are stuck with Lidge for now.
As for the recent trade rumors, Dan Haren went to the Angels so it looks like Roy Oswalt is the final option for the Phils to pick up a starter. But as I talked about on yesterday's Fightin' Phillies podcast, Oswalt does not seem interested in coming here and with the no-trade clause, he has final say. But do we really want a guy who is scared of the media and shies away from pressure? I know I don't. It will be interesting to see if anything happens before the trade deadline.
In the meantime, feel free to check out the Photo Album from today's game. Thanks to my friend, Audrea, I was in one of the business suites today, which are very, very nice. I put a few photos of that in the album as well.
The D-Backs come to town tomorrow. Game time is 7:05pm.

Congrats on #500 Chuck. That was good sportsmanship indeed! You don't see that too often. As far a Lidge…just have those TUMS handy.
Oswalt said he didn't want to come to the Phillies? I thought he wanted to play for a contender? Who needs him! Pfffff.
Congrats to the slimmed down Charlie M on his 500th.
It was a night of a few milestones last night, but seeing Manuelget his 500th must have been truly amazing.
Brad Lidge or is that Ledge?
I can just imagine the people comtemplating a lonmg walk off a short pier when he comes into a game nowadays.
Used to be almost a sure thing when Lisge strolled in from the outfield….Now it is just an adventure like "Pirates of the Carribean"…..
Rays Renegade
Broxton has been giving some of those heart-stopping 9th innings like Lidge lately. the last two saves in the 9th have been by Kuo and the rookie 22 year old Kenley Jansen who a day after his MLB debut had to come in the 9th to save the 1-0 game. the kid from Curacao got the save a year away from being in the minor league catching.
Bet y'all wish you still had Lee… I mean, if you're gonna go and pay Oswalt ya might as well have paid Lee. Jeesh. That has to hurt.

By Freedom New Mexico
An obvious question arises in the wake of a new National Intelligence Estimate on Iran's nuclear program. The report judges "with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program."
If the 2005 NIE assessed "with high confidence that Iran currently is determined to develop nuclear weapons" was so wrong, how can we have much confidence in this most recent assessment?
A little background: A National Intelligence Estimate represents the official consensus view of the government's 16 intelligence agencies, prepared by the National Intelligence Council under the direction of the Director of National Intelligence. Because of the necessarily incomplete and ambiguous nature of intelligence, especially about a society effectively closed to outsiders, NIEs are couched in terms like "judge," "assess," "estimate," "probably" and "likely," further modified by terms like "high," moderate" or "low" levels of confidence.
NIEs are supposed to be objective — free of bias for or against current policy — but different analysts, all of whom have personal preconceptions, often look at the same set of facts and come to different conclusions.
While taking the latest estimate with the requisite dose of salt, however, this new report is welcome on several levels. At a strictly bureaucratic level, it seems to represent a forceful pushback against the small cadre of mostly neoconservative officials, buttressed by think-tankers outside government, that have seemed eager to see some kind of military action — in the best-case scenario a series of bombing raids that forced the Iranian regime to say "uncle" or induced the Iranian people to overthrow it — against Iran before President Bush left office.
This desire was perhaps expressed most eloquently in the June issue of Commentary magazine by long-time editor and neocon "godfather" Norman Podhoretz, who famously "prayed" that President Bush would bomb Iran before he left office. But it is hardly a secret that Vice President Cheney has been sympathetic to this view, as have some in the Pentagon, some scholars at the American Enterprise Institute and some writers for the Weekly Standard, National Review and others.
The only credible justification for an unprovoked attack on Iran, however, would be solid information that the regime was poised to acquire a nuclear weapon. Thus this new NIE virtually guarantees that such an attack by the U.S. will not happen.
That is welcome news. Even an Iran with a nuclear weapon would not constitute an existential threat to the United States, though some would argue it would do so to Israel.
An attack by the U.S. on Iran would not have guaranteed that it would never acquire one, would have destabilized the Middle East even further, and opened up U.S. troops in Iraq and Americans at home to retaliation and terrorism that would surely have followed any attack that did not destroy the regime utterly.
And as we have discovered in Iraq, even destruction of a ruling tyranny does not mean that peace, contentment and all parties joining hands to work in concert together follows inevitably.
Attacking Iran, in short, would have been one of the stupidest things the United States could have done. That's probably why Admiral William Fallon, when he assumed control of the Central Command earlier this year, vowed privately that an attack on Iran would not happen on his watch.
The new NIE seems to represent determination by most high military officials, most of the CIA and most of the State Department, to make sure such an attack does not take place.
Given criticism of the inaccurate NIE on Saddam's possession of weapons of mass destruction, it's likely this estimate was prepared more meticulously than previous reports. Even if it is imperfect, however, it is welcome.

Creating Profiles Without User-Specific Connections --------------------------------------------------- In some cases, you may want to create profiles that include preconfigured persistent connections. However, if you need to supply alternate credentials when you create the template profile, this can cause problems for users later when the profile is used. Information about persistent connections is stored in the registry location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network. This key has subkeys that list the persistent drive connections by drive letter. For each of these subkeys, there is a value of UserName. If alternate credentials must be supplied to make the connection, those credentials are also stored here. Note that this includes only the domain and user account name; the password is not included. When the user receives this profile and logs on, WindowsNT attempts to reconnect the drive, but the alternate credentials are sent rather than those of the logged on user. Note that if the UserName value contains a blank string, the credentials of the logged on user are sent (which is the desired behavior in this case). To avoid inadequate credentials or wrong credentials being sent, use one of the following approaches: Avoid having to supply alternate credentials when you create the Connections to network resources in the shared profile by granting the user creating the template profile sufficient permissions in advance. Before modifying the profile to be a mandatory profile, run a REGINI script that removes the credentials from the UserName value. Do not delete the value, only the string data.

Center for Applied Research and Technology Receives $50K USDA Grant to Assist Technology-based Business Development in WV
CreatedThursday, October 11 2012

(Bluefield)—The Center for Applied Research and Technology (CART) at Bluefield State College has been awarded a $50,000 Rural Business Opportunity Grant to provide technical assistance for improving the success rate of technology-based entrepreneurial business development in West Virginia. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development funding was announced by WV State Director Bobby Lewis and U.S. Representative Nick Rahall.
"The grant will provide technical assistance that helps technology-based small businesses and entrepreneurs to turn their product and service ideas or research into an actual working prototype." CART CEO Bruce Mutter said. Rapid prototyping leads to business development, resulting in greater access to capital and increased, quality employment opportunities for West Virginia citizens, he observed.
Approximately 90% of West Virginia businesses have 20 or fewer employees, and federal statistics indicate that small business owners are essential to the state's economy. "Although West Virginia is making strides in utilizing technology in business and industry, it continues to face challenges in growing its technology industries and transitioning its economy to one that is based on innovation," Mutter explained.
"This CART project will benefit the economic development of rural southern West Virginia on several fronts that include: substantively increasing salaries for a small number of technology-based jobs, providing new employment opportunities arising from new technology-based businesses, and strengthening the diversification of several regional businesses," he summarized.

Suspect in death gets 56 months in other case
RUTLAND A suspect in the killing of a Sheffield woman more than three years ago was sentenced Monday in federal court in Rutland to 56 months in prison for his conviction in a firearms case unrelated to the abduction and death of Mary Pat OHagan.
Michael Norrie, 23, is one of three suspects tied to the 2010 killing of OHagan, but prosecutors have said they dont have enough evidence to charge anyone with her killing.
Chief U.S. District Judge Christina Reiss told Norrie she hoped the best for him.
See if you can turn this around, Reiss said, referring to Norries life. I wish you good luck in that endeavor.
OHagan, 78, disappeared from her Sheffield home in September 2010. She was missing about three weeks before her body was found in Wheelock.
Court records stated Norrie, his cousin Richard Fletcher, 27, and his brother Keith J. Baird, 32, all of Sheffield, are implicated in the OHagan killing. All three men are in state or federal custody on charges unrelated to her death.
The authorities said the men have told conflicting accounts of what happened when OHagan was killed in September 2010.
In the federal case at issue Monday, Norrie pleaded guilty in June to two federal firearms possession charges.
The Burlington Free Press reported OHagans five children were in the courtroom Monday but had been prohibited from making any statements in Norries current case.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.
