From Mia Thermopolis to Catwoman: Anne Hathaway's Big Screen Evolution
Anne Hathaway stars as Catwoman in 'The Dark Knight Rises,' out this weekend! Let's take a look back at her humble beginnings!
-Lucia Peters
The Dark Knight Rises, the hotly-anticipated follow-up to 2008's Batman extravaganza The Dark Knight, finally—finally!—hits cinemas this Friday. And sure, we're super excited to see Christian Bale and Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard and everyone bring Christopher Nolan's stunning trilogy to a close—but you know what we're most excited about? Catwoman. Specifically, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. She's sure come a long way from her humble beginnings as a Jersey girl, hasn't she? In fact, why don't we take moment to look back at her evolution on the big screen? From Mia Thermopolis all the way up to the mysterious and badass Selina Kyle, Anne is definitely here to stay!
1. Mia Thermpolis, The Princess Diaries (2001)
In 2001, a little movie called The Princess Diaries came out starring a 19-year-old unknown as Mia Thermopolis, a high school outcast who suddenly discovers that she is, in fact, that heir to the throne of a small country called Genovia (and also that Julie Andrews is her grandmother). That 19-year-old was named Anne Hathaway. The movie could have been a little bit of fluff, but thanks to Anne (and Julie, and Heather Matarazzo, and the whole marvelous cast), it turned out to be enormously entertaining. Annnnd she's off!

2. Madeline Bray, Nicholas Nickleby (2002)
Anne got her Charles Dickens on as the ill-fated—though only at first!—Madeline Bray to Charlie Hunam's Nicholas in 2002's Nicholas Nickleby. Although the film never achieved a wide North American release, it was critically acclaimed (and with a cast featuring Christopher Plummer, Romola Garai, Jim Broadbent, Jamie Bell, Alan Cumming, and many, many others, it's easy to see why!) and earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy. Not bad, young Anne!
3. Ella, Ella Enchanted (2004)
The year The Princess Diaries 2 came out (because of course a sequel was inevitable), Anne also starred in another princess flick loosely based on a novel of the same name. Ella Enchanted is a retelling of Cinderella, though unfortunately the film didn't do terribly well. This also marks the last time Anne, now 22, starred in a children's movie. Onwards and upwards, eh?
Up next: Anne grows up, her award-winning role, and more!

"Sometimes it's better to leave things unknown than to find out the truth,because you may not like the answer you find at the end" Chloe Manson didn't listen to this advice when she was told,uncovering her parents death,would only cause he pain,trouble and heartbreak. She didn't listen when she was told digging for the answers would only put her in danger and nothing good would come out of it. And she didn't listen when the police told her never to leave the house in search of answers. But she still went and found out the answers to the million questions she had. Maybe if she listened she wouldn't be in danger and she would be living a normal teenage life with her beloved boyfriend Zayn Malik.

Museum Victoria's Julian Finn and Mark Norman have recorded the first case of tool use – sophisticated behaviour generally limited to mammals and birds – in an invertebrate.
The Veined Octopus, Amphioctopus marginatus, uses foreign objects for shelter, which is common in octopuses and is not itself considered tool use. However the Veined Octopus goes a step further and prepares, manipulates and carries coconut shells up to 20 metres to reassemble its shelter elsewhere.
Julian and Mark spent more than 500 hours diving in Indonesian waters to observe and film these animals. They watched octopuses dig out coconut shells from the ocean floor, empty shells with jets of water, stack two empty shells hollow-side up, and carry the shells in a unique gait they call 'stilt-walking'. This series of actions is among the most complex ever recorded in an octopus.
The Veined Octopus probably evolved this behaviour using clam shells as shelter. However once humans began discarding large numbers of coconut shells, they inadvertently created a steady supply of lightweight octopus tools.
Download the Coconut-carrying octopus video
Julian and Mark's paper 'Defensive tool use in a coconut-carrying octopus' was co-authored by Tom Tregenza. It was published in the journal Current Biology on 15 December.
David's point reflects one of the ongoing debates in the literature on tool use – when does a behaviour start to become tool use? He highlights a number of examples of invertebrates picking up objects in their environment and using them for building – something octopuses also do (see ref in our article). Even more impressively, some species of ants encountering sugar solutions will pick up masses of absorbent soil and use these to soak up the solution for transport back to the nest (also cited in our article). However, the reason we argue that the behaviour of this octopus is unique is that it carries the coconut shells around in such a way that they provide no benefit during transport, and then uses them when they will be beneficial. This is distinct from collecting a rock and then putting in front of a burrow or collecting a piece of soil to soak up liquid because these behaviours appear to occur only in response to a specific stimulus of the need to build a den or the presence of a liquid food source. In contrast, the octopus seems to carry shells, much as we might carry an umbrella – in anticipation of them being useful in the future. We fully accept that this distinction is a subtle one – this is an inevitable feature of these sorts of semantic debate – nature has a seamless continuum of behaviours whereas language is constructed to reflect our love of putting things in pigeon-holes.
Thanks for that interesting anecdote, Max! We'll pass it on.

Programming A New Key Fob - Very Easy - No Dealer Needed
I just purchased a 2011 CPO X3. Although the dealer knew one of the two key fobs was missing for almost four weeks before I closed on the car, they did nothing. Nevertheless, they finally sent me a new key fob (I live 250 miles from the dealer).
There was a lot of confusion about how to activate / program the new key fob. The dealership I bought the car from had no clue at all (BMW of Morristown, NJ) and offered no help - the salesman lost all apparent interest after I bought the car. I called a number of other BMW dealers and received a lot of conflicting advice ranging from make an appointment and we charge 1/2 to one hour of labor, to, you can easily do it yourself but we don't know how. After finally receiving the new key fob, I called the local BMW dealer (Burdick - Syracuse, NY) to make an appointment. Instead of just making an appointment, the service advisor put me on hold and went to some effort to find out if an appointment was really needed. This is what the she accurately told me.
Simply take the new key fob and hold it against the marked spot on the right side of the steering column and then start the car (obviously a working key fob is needed). That's all it took to activate the new fob. In fact, the Nav screen immediately popped up with a request to name the profile associated with the new key fob.
Since there was so much confusion I thought I would at least post something that is searchable in case anyone else needs to do this in the future.

Is it just me or is that too easy...so if anyone has access to my keys, they can simply buy a new fob, and place it next to key mark near the column and they have a new key....security flaw anyone?

Fair point, but if they have access to your keys and the car itself and they have less than honest intentions, creating a new fob is likely the least of the security problems.
In other words, if I understand it correctly, this procedure works only with a new un-activated key that is not readily available to anyone without positive proof of ownership (like having possession of the vehicle). Even once you have a new un-activated fob, it is necessary to have a working key also to start the car with the new one next to the steering column.
It does not appear to me this presents any practical security threat but, since I have no experience steeling cars, I might be very naïve about this.

Program Used Fob
So I read all of the instructions here and decided to purchase a fob from ebay that was salvaged from a wrecked x3 -- exact same model and year (2011 x3).
Anyway, I read and reread the directions, ordered the key and tried to program it. Now that it has completely failed, I have reread the instructions and now I notice that everyone specifically talked about it being a new "virgin" key that they have programed.
Does anyone know how to reset the used key to a new state so the car will pick it up? Is that what my issue is? If there's no way for me to do it, can I take it to my dealer and let them do it?
A few months ago I bought a third key fob for a family member. I had to show BMW my driver's license and registrtation. The key fob was sent to the dealer with the mechanical key already cut. I do not know if the electronic fob was totally virgin or if it could only be mated to my specific BMW. I think the latter but I do not know. Once I had the fob in my hand it could not be mated to my car unless an already mated fob was also there.
The BMW dealer I bought the FOB from is 35 miles away. They allowed me to email them a copy of my driver's license and registration. I guess if I was really intent on getting a fob for some elses car I could have created bogus documents. However, that still would have not have allowed me to use a credit card with a name matching the registration and BMW records as to who owns the car and this I suspect would have caused them to ask me to come in to buy it. In addition, even if I did get them to sell me a fob associated with some elses car, I would still need to have, in my hand, a working fob for that car in order to mate the new fob so it would be usable. In other words, with enough effort, ingenuity, and resources almost anything can be scammed. Nevertheless, I am not losing sleep about someoine stealing my car by buying a key fob for it, actor N Cage not withstanding.
Wanted to thank RhoXS for starting this thread.
I purchased a spare keyfob a few months after getting a 2014 X3. As I expected, ID and the registration was required for purchase, and the fob and key arrived separately. They made a big point that I needed a 1 hr service appointment to program the fob because I had the comfort access option.
I remembered RhoXS's post while researching my X3 purchase, and declined the service appointment.
The fob had no effect on the car until I followed RhoXS's original post. In my case, the I Drive system didn't do anything relating to the new fob, but it was off (and just booting up) as I started the car with the new fob in position.
To my surprise, everything worked, including the comfort access function! So I guess the secret is that they want 1 hour of service to hold the fob in position and start the car. Hummm....
I'm new here, but it sure seems like you can learn much more about BMW's here, than the dealerships.
I think there's a little more to it than obtaining a key fob with a key cut for your vehicle.
Each key has a unique code which must be recognized by your car. These codes are permanently stored in the CAS (Car Access System) along with the VIN during assembly. This is why they need your VIN and only BMW knows your vehicle's codes. This code is encrypted. The key, referred to as the ID transmitter or transponder, sends its code to the vehicle when requested. If the fob battery is very weak, holding it on the spot marked on the steering column provides enough power to the fob (induction?) to enable its transponder to respond to the CAS request for its code. The Car Access System (CAS) decrypts the code, compares it to the code stored in the CAS, and enables unlocking and starting the car. This happens every time you unlock and start the vehicle. Apparently, the CAS is always searching for a key fob it recognizes. Another one of those small but constant battery drains.
An older manual stated that the CAS could recognize up to 10 key codes, allowing for loss of 7 fobs over the life of the car? If the CAS has to be replaced, it must be replaced with a new unit programmed for the VIN and new key codes (and new key fobs). Sounds expensive.
All this is based on my interpretation of some BMW manuals; it may be out of date and I'm sure it's more complicated than what I've said here. If someone has a better understanding or contrary info, please chime in.

When I and my siblings grew up and reached the age to driver, my Dad made sure we all had keys to both cars. We never had to ask for keys when we used a car. That was certainly not a license to use the cars anytime we wanted but it was an important statement in trust. That tacit message was not lost on me or my sibs. From that perspective the $325.60 I spent on the third fob, although a lot more than just making a few metal keys, was not expensive at all.

Does anyone know if the law that passed in California years ago regarding locksmiths having complete access to proprietary key manufacturers ever came true ?
If an independent locksmith can get the BMW key, can they sell and code it ???
To recode a BMW key, one would have to have access to the key codes in the target vehicles CAS and the encryption key to decrypt them. Probably not impossible but way, way beyond the abilities of any would be thief. No security system is perfect but BMW's is pretty darn good.

For those with "inquiring minds" (okay, there are probably other descriptions as well), a bit more info on the Car Access System, purloined from a BMW manual titled Car Access Systems with a revision date of 07/2011.
The system used in the 2nd generation X3 is the Car Access System 4. This system was introduced on the F01 in 09/2008 to integrate with the Comfort Access functions. The key fob is referred to as the ID transmitter. It need only be somewhere inside the passenger compartment for the engine to be started. Its battery life is approximately 4 years. Up to 8 ID transmitters can be used for a vehicle. Four of the eight can be used for personal profiles.
When the START-STOP button is pressed, it triggers the search for an ID transmitter in the passenger compartment. When performing the passenger compartment search, the Car Access System 4 issues a request for an ID transmitter to register with the vehicle. There are two antennas provided for the passenger compartment search. One antenna covers the front of the passenger compartment and the other the rear. The Car Access System 4 sends out a signal with a frequency of 125 KHz through the antennas. [This is a very short range radio transmission, something akin to that used on a metal detector.] That signal triggers the ID transmitter to register with the vehicle. The ID transmitter responds with an encrypted radio signal. The Car Access System checks whether the ID transmitter belongs to the vehicle. Subsequent communication takes place on the ID transmitter's transmission frequency, e.g. 315 MHz. If the check is positive, the Car Access System 4 enables terminal control. This allows the engine to be started, providing all other requirements are met (like foot on brake pedal).
In unfavorable situations (defective ID transmitter, interference with radio transmission to the ID transmitter, or a discharged battery in the ID transmitter), the system may not be able to find the ID transmitter in the passenger compartment. In that case, the Car Access System initiates display of a message on the instrument cluster to notify the driver that no ID transmitter could be located inside the passenger compartment. The ID transmitter can be held in the position marked on the steering column. There is an emergency start coil under the steering column trim. Communication between the Car Access System 4 and the ID transmitter can be established via the emergency start coil so that the engine can still be started and the vehicle driven. By communicating via the coil, the Car Access System 4 is able to identify a valid ID transmitter. Thus the Car Access System 4 is able to issue the start enabling signal following successful identification.

Coder - Thanks for the effort to post that description. That information is very interesting and I am glad to know it.
Interference question: If my wife, as a front seat passenger, has key fob #2 in her purse is there going to be any conflict? If we both approach the car to get in and she happens to grab her door handle before I do does her profile take precedence? Or if I do the unlock and her fob is just present what happens? I know I can change profiles on the iDrive menu or door button but, if this does in fact happen it could be a PITA. OR, when I travel alone (have yet to take any trip with fob #2 in the car) I would take the 2nd key fob as a spare and most likely have it in my suitcase in the trunk. Will that cause a problem or conflict? If there are RF conflicts any suggestions for shielding one of the fobs? Tin foil??? My EZ Pass transponder came with a little plastic bag similar to an anti-static computer/memory chip bag to quash its signal, but I can't imagine that would suffice for a fob.

Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is named after the Swiss naturalist Charles Bonnet. In 1760 he described a condition in which vivid, complex visual hallucinations (fictive visual percepts) occur in mentally healthy people. One characteristic of these hallucinations is that they usually are "lilliput hallucinations" (hallucinations in which the characters or objects are smaller than in reality). He first documented it in his 87-year-old grandfather, who was nearly blind from cataracts in both eyes but perceived men, women, birds, carriages, buildings, tapestries, and scaffolding patterns.
Most who are affected by this are people with visual impairments due to old age, damage to the eyes or optic pathways. In particular, central vision loss due to a condition such as macular degeneration combined with peripheral vision loss from glaucoma may predispose to CBS, although most people with such deficits do not develop the syndrome.
This syndrome is well portrayed in Vilayanur S. Ramachandran's book Phantoms in the brain.

Nina Strochlic reports on the new documentary 'Mothers of Bedford.'
Later that night, Huntsman had to push his way into a house party in Bedford—where 40 guests had been expected but 250 showed up.
So sayeth Mike Tyson, the menacing and troubled warrior from the mean streets of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
At the corner of Gates and Bedford, Short Cut, who was several yards ahead of us, held up his fist.
His "nose was always in the want ads," finding it hard to land a job in Bedford, Ind., a small town of under 14,000.
Bedford House, the town residence of the Dukes of Bedford, stood until 1800.
She had no ideas on the subject of Bedford Square at command.
Lane, with his two comrades, spent three days at a barracks-hospital for soldiers in Bedford Park.
The king was afraid to go near Paris, but Bedford was afraid to stay in the town.
Bedford realized this by and by, and tried to patch up his mistake by crowning his King; but what good could that do?

In Alaska and across the country, mortgage relief scammers continue to prey on homeowners who are experiencing financial difficulties. These scammers falsely claim that, for a fee, they will negotiate with the homeowner's mortgage lender or servicer to obtain a loan modification, a short sale, or other relief from foreclosure. Many of these operations pretend to be affiliated with the government and government housing assistance programs.
Consumers should avoid any business that:
The Federal Trade Commission's Mortgage Assistance Relief Services (MARS) Rule prohibits loan modification services and foreclosure rescue services from charging advance fees. It also requires them to disclose that they are not associated with government programs and that the homeowner's lender may not agree to modify the loan. For more information about the MARS Rule, see FTC Issues Final Rule to Protect Struggling Homeowners from Mortgage Relief Scams.
For more information on what to do if you are behind on mortgage payments or fear that you might be soon, visit the following websites:

|Scholarships: More Than Just a Dollar Sign
|The School of Business awards 30 endowed scholarships to students each year.
Adjusting to college life four years ago challenged Mike Shipman.
He arrived from Williamsport, Pa., as a "timid 18-year-old," unsure of his plans. Today, he looks forward to a summer internship after graduation, then a choice about graduate school. Looking back, Shipman '11 is candid about his first year.
"Life was not easy at first," he said. "Meeting new friends and finding my place on campus was difficult." To be closer to home and his friends, he considered transferring to Penn State.
"But I hung in there. Ithaca College gave me a chance in giving me a scholarship, so I decided to give the school a chance, and I was rewarded for doing so."
Shipman received a PricewaterhouseCoopers Employee Scholarship, funded by gifts of Ithaca graduates who work at PwC, matched by the firm. He'd been offered scholarships by other colleges. A scholarship made Ithaca as affordable as his other options, he said.
At Ithaca, "I made great new friends and had experiences I would not trade for anything in the world," said Shipman, an accounting major with a minor in legal studies.
"Now, as a senior, I can say I am no longer timid. Instead of feeling nervous about walking into a professor's office on the third or fourth floor of the Business School, I feel confident. Instead of feeling timid in meeting new people, I look forward to it."
Three Ithaca accounting graduates – Tom Baker '65, Jim Dewey '66 and Larry Alleva '71, who later became partners at PwC – set up this scholarship some 25 years ago. Says Alleva, it is the largest alumni/employee scholarship endowment at Ithaca College and has benefited more than 70 accounting majors. Some recipients later joined PwC and contributed to the fund.
Shipman's summer internship will be in New York City with PwC. Then he will choose between graduate school in Pittsburgh or at Ithaca.
"Without the scholarship offer to give me this opportunity, I may not have grown, matured, and put myself in this situation to succeed," he said.
In deciding to choose Ithaca, Shipman also weighed the construction of a new building, the Dorothy D. and Roy H. Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise.
"The fact that Ithaca College was building a new location for business students alone proved to me that they were passionate about improving the program, and in my four years here, this institution has not disappointed, for it has come a long way," he said.
Opportunities for campus and community service enhanced his education. He joined Beta Alpha Psi, the national accounting honor society, and is now chapter treasurer. He also serves as a peer tutor for accounting classes. These experiences taught him about the business world and networking and helped build his resume.
He also embraced the college's emphasis on community service. Off campus, he participated in Colleges Against Cancer and the Relay for Life. "I took advantage of such opportunities to give back and become involved with my community, and have found it a beneficial experience,'' he said.
And when it came time this year to plan for his steps after graduation, his adviser – accounting professor Patricia Libby – and the school staff provided invaluable guidance. He will pursue his master's degree in accountancy next year, or an MBA in professional accountancy if he stays in Ithaca.
"They made sure to guide me and point me in the right direction as far as figuring out my future was concerned. And I must give them all a great vote of thanks," said Shipman. "Without them, I would not have a job after graduation, or a place to continue my studies in order to earn my CPA license. Personal interaction with faculty and staff is just one more opportunity Ithaca College has offered me."
Interaction with scholarship recipients also gladdens the donors.
"Annually, I am always touched by the very nice notes of thanks received from the recipients," said Alleva, who just retired as U.S. Leader - Ethics and Compliance (Assurance) after 39 years at PwC. Vice chair of the IC Board of Trustees, he's been a board member for nearly 20 years and chaired the college's Comprehensive Campaign, which raised $145 million, including the money for the Park Center.
"Throughout all of my efforts, I find most rewarding those instances when IC graduates – and at times parents of the graduates – willingly step forward to donate money to help the school they love," he said. "Clearly, it is this type of loyalty and commitment that allows Ithaca College to remain strong and affordable and, through efforts like the scholarship, enables deserving students to receive a college education."
Ithaca the city appealed to Shipman because it's the same size as his hometown, Williamsport. In his years here, he's overcome any fear of a large city.
"Ithaca College has changed my outlook on education and career aspirations by making me comfortable with stepping outside of my 'comfort zone,' " he said.
With a scholarship-funded education, he will graduate a much more self-confident person: "My education here has adequately prepared me for the rest of my life and made me realize that I can succeed in any education or career environment I enter into."

Katy Perry Throws Shade At The VMAs For Snubbing 'Roar'
Listen to Katy Perry Radio on iHeartRadio
The MTV VMAs is a pretty meaningless awards show in the grand scheme of things, but people still seem to treat it like music's answer to the Nobel Prize. It's the kind of thing that you watch for the crazy red carpet fashion and controversial performances, but the actual awards part is pretty much just secondary to everything else that the show has to offer.
One person who seems rather invested in the VMAs is Katy Perry, who took to Twitter today to throw some light-hearted shade at MTV for snubbing her sextuple-platinum hit "Roar" from the recently-announced 2014 nominations.
I'm good with my 569,000,000+ views on Roar 👋
— KATY PERRY (@katyperry) July 18, 2014
Despite "Roar" missing out, Katy wasn't totally snubbed like Lady Gaga was: "Dark Horse" picked up nods for Best Female Video and Best Collaboration.

text: I ran across this earlier today. Actually I agreed with about 95% of it until the end. ---- Fan Loyalty I grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan. I've watched their games every Sunday for as long as I can remember. The only time in my life I didn't watch them every week was when I worked in a restaurant and had to work on Sundays. That's the thing about the restaurant business--Sunday isn't a day off. Knowing I'd never get to watch football again was a big reason I didn't go into restaurant management when I had the chance. When I was a kid, though, not many people in my family watched football every week. My dad liked watching, but you never knew where he would be on any given Sunday, so he never had any real habits like that. It was me and one other person in my family who were the true die-hard fans. My Granny and I watched the Cowboys together every Sunday. She always went to church, and we always went out to lunch after church. If the Cowboys played at noon, we had a snack during the game and went to eat a late lunch when it was over. If they played at 3:00, then anyone that wanted to go to lunch with us had better be ready to go when she got out of church, because we weren't waiting. We didn't have time to lolligag, after all. We had to be back at her house by 3:00 and not a minute later. Granny taught me about fan loyalty. We loved the Cowboys when they won, and we loved them when the lost. We were happier when they won of course, but we supported them when they lost. Granny knew the players, and understood the game to a degree. I think for her it was more about having someone to be a fan of than the game itself. Speaking as someone lucky enough to know, Granny knew how to be a fan. Until Joy came along, Granny was my biggest one. I learned the lessons of fan loyalty well, and even when Tom Landry was fired, I still supported the team. I was angry, and I hated watching the 1-15 season, but I did it. I watched every minute of every game. It didn't take long to become a Jimmy Johnson fan. He's got a likeable personality, and he won. Jerry Jones was a different story, and I watched the Cowboys despite of him from the time he bought the team. He was like a kid with a toy he always wanted and finally had. He knew how to market the team and make money, but he didn't know enough about football to win. That was ok when he had a coach that did know how, who was allowed to do his job. Eventually, though, Jerry's ego got the better of him and Cowboys fans everywhere suffered for it. Jimmy Johnson had assembled arguably the best young team in NFL history. They won Superbowls, and were poised to keep winning them, and then Jerry Jones stepped in and started wrecking it. He was convinced he was the reason for the success, and that everyone but him was incidental. This first became evident in the way he treated Emmitt Smith during the off season between his 3rd and 4th years in the league. Emmitt Smith and signed a 3 year deal when he joined the team out of college, and all 3 years combined paid him just a little over $600,000. That's not a lot of money for a pro football player, but Emmitt wasn't that highly regarded out of college. He wasn't fast enough or strong enough to be successful in the NFL, according to most experts. Emmitt's second year he lead the league in rushing, and was a big part of the Cowboys' Superbowl win. A lot of people believed that Emmitt would hold out before his third year and try to renegotiate, but he didn't. He showed up at the voluntary camps. He reported when expected, and he played. When asked about it, he simply said he'd signed a contract and he intended to honor it. After his contract ended the next year, he expected to be paid at the level of the other top backs in the league, but Jerry Jones didn't want to do it. He decided they could plug any back in and still win. No one was vital to the team but Jerry Jones in his opinion. When they hadn't come to an agreement by the time the season started, Emmitt didn't play. After going 0-2 without him, Jerry Jones finally paid him what he deserved, and Emmitt joined his team. He immediately made an impact, and the Cowboys started winning again. It became obvious to everyone, with the possible exception of Jerry Jones, that Emmitt was probably the most vital part of this team. When Troy Aikman was hurt, the team suffered, but they still won. When Michael Irvin was injured or suspended, the team suffered, but they still won. The few times Emmitt was hurt, though, the team lost. That offense just didn't work without him as its main focus. For years, you could practically always tell if the team won by looking at Emmitt's stats. If he got 25 carries or gained 100 yards they won. It was as simple as that. Emmit was just the first of many players to be unappreciated by the boss. When contracts came up for renewal, people weren't signed. For example, the heart of the defense, Ken Norton Jr., went to the 49ers. Jerry Jones just didn't think anyone mattered. He went too far eventually. He told a reporter after a Superbowl victory that, in fact, he could coach the team with the same success as Jimmy Johnson. It was a ridiculous and stupid thing to say, but he said it and he stood behind it. Jerry Jones had a history of doing things through the media that should have been done privately. He'd done a lot of posturing during Emmitt's negotiation with quotes to the media. Tom Landry, one of the most respected and successful coaches of all time, was in effect, fired through the news. Before he'd notified Landry or even spoken to him after buying the team, Jerry Jones told a reporter that his old friend would be coaching the team. He'd now in effect done it again. He wanted Jimmy Johnson to move on, and this was his way of doing it. Well, it worked, and Jimmy Johnson left. With him gone, Jerry Jones took almost complete control of all aspects of the team. He followed him with Barry Switzer, who may have been a good college coach, but was so happy to be in the NFL that he agreed to let the owner/GM have complete control in the decision making process. The team was good enough when he took it over that they still won the Superbowl his first year as coach, but believe me when I say it was despite the fact that Switzer was coach and not because of it. The team got progressively worse every year he was the coach. Barry Switzer was followed by two more weak coaches who were chosen because they could be controlled by Jerry Jones, and under his strict control, the team's decline continued at a painful pace. For the first time in decades, the Cowboys weren't considered a serious contender at all. They'd always been an elite team and all of a sudden a 9-7 season was considered a positive because of how bad they were. Still I watched. I was bothered by the way things were going, but I was a Cowboys fan and I remained loyal. When they moved the offense away from the run, my loyalty was really tested. Emmitt Smith was the last thing left on that team that was any good, and through stupidity and arrogance the men in charge seemed to have forgotten that. Maybe they just didn't care. When Emmit didn't gain 1000 yards last season for the first time since he was a rookie, I'd had enough. They'd gotten so bad and made so many bad decisions that the one good thing left on the team was being tarnished. Besides, we had the Texans now, and I liked the idea of following a team as they climbed up the ladder to contention. Then, all of a sudden I thought things were going to get better. Jerry Jones had finally realized that he just wasn't any good at running a football team and went out and got a coach that wasn't going to be controlled. When Jerry Jones hired Bill Parcells, it made me happy for more than one reason. Not only was Parcells a coach with a history of winning and a reputation for not being controlled by owners, but by hiring him the owner who had run America's Team into the ground was finally conceding that he couldn't do it himself. It meant someone who understood football was going to be in charge again. I had hope for the first time in years that my football team would be a winner. Then the first thing Bill Parcells did as coach was announce that Emmitt Smith would be cut from the team. I was devastated. What was he thinking? The only proven player on the team and he was going to cut him? Emmitt's not over the hill, for crying out loud. He may not be the back he used to be, but Troy Hambrick will never be the back Emmitt Smith used to be. That was the last straw. **** the Dallas Cowboys. I hope they go 0-16. I'm a Texans fan now. **(Note: What a loser)** I cheer for a lot teams, but the Texans are my team. I like the Colts because I like their coach. I like the Bucs because I liked them when Tony Dungy was their coach, and they haven't done anything to make me quit liking them. I love watching great defenses, and there's not one better than the Bucs'. I like the Rams because that offense is just fun to watch when it's working. Marshall Faulk is probably best all-around football player in the game. I like the Titans because they used to be in Houston, and after the move, I just kept liking them. They have fun players who are likeable, and I feel like they deserve to win. I like the Cardinals for the first time ever.. Care to take a guess why? So there you have it. I have a lot of teams I want to do well for various reasons, but the Texans are my team. It's hard to say it, because I've always been a Cowboys fan even when I wanted other teams to win too. It's hard to say, but I can say it. I'm a Houston Texans fan. Posted by Rob at September 9, 2003 10:26 AM | TrackBack http://www.onenameleft.net/blog/archives/000136.html

It's late July, so it's time to reevaluate the 2014 Fantasy Football Rookies. Below is a one-player taste of our Premium 2014 Rookie Rankings with Analysis, so if you aren't a 2014 STARTERS Subscriber, get access right after you read this sample (who is #5 on our Rookie Rankings)… after you read this, there are 11 more rookie write-ups just like it waiting for you, along with a complete ranking of my top 50 rookies… here we go!
5. Jordan Matthews | PHI WR
Date: 7/24/14
This 2014 rookie receiving class is just flat-out phenomenal, as we are talking about the 4th receiver ranked, and this receiver can be a fantasy WR1 if he develops properly. Jordan Matthews is 6-3, 212 pounds, but he plays like he is 6-5, 225 pounds. He has a long reach and has phenomenal spacial awareness. View this exact play right here to see what I mean… if you watched that play, you should have noticed not only Matthews' timing pulling in the reception, but his innate ability to use his body to defend the area around the football. It's an instinct most players don't develop until their second or third NFL season, but Matthews has a natural instinct to use his body to position the defender where he wants the defender. It's masterful if you take the time to watch him in acton. Like Brandin Cooks, Matthews couldn't have landed in a more potent offense. And, in Matthews' case, the Eagles are in need of a big-time possession receiver, and it appears Chip Kelly is going to immediately lean on the rookie. Don't be surprised if Matthews makes a strong case for Rookie of the Year in 2014! It wouldn't be shocking if the guy pulled in 55-60 receptions for 900-1000 yards and 6-7 scores as a rookie. The rookie receiver position is changing, and these guys are maturing much faster than they use to.

Ohio AG investigating water price gouging in Toledo
TOLEDO, Ohio (WSPD) -- The Ohio Attorney General's office is actively monitoring possible price gouging complaints regarding bottled water as a result of Toledo's water crisis.
"We have seen the best of many Ohioans who have generously helped those needing water in the Toledo area, but we also have heard allegations of possible price gouging in the area," Attorney General Mike DeWine said. "We are actively monitoring complaints related to the Toledo water crisis. Those who think they are overpaying for water should contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office immediately and provide information about where the water was being sold and the price paid."
The Ohio Attorney General's Office is sending representatives to monitor water prices in the Toledo area.
Laws that address price gouging vary from state to state. While Ohio does not have a statute that deals directly with price gouging, state law bans unconscionable sales practices.
A practice could be considered unconscionable if the supplier knew at the time of the transaction that the price was substantially higher than the price at which similar goods or services could be readily obtained. It is also an unfair and deceptive practice to dramatically increase the price of in-stock products based solely in response to current events.
"This is not something that we take lightly. We take it very seriously. It's just dead wrong and it's also illegal for people to do it," DeWine said.
Consumers who suspect price gouging or other unfair business practices should contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office by calling 800-282-0515 or visiting www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov. Consumers should submit as much information and documentation as possible with their complaints.

LONG BEACH - The journey to the CIF Southern Section Football Press Conference Luncheon on Monday morning was more than a short trip to The Grand for championship contenders Poly High and Downey High.
For the Jackrabbits (10-3), their journey to the Pac-5 Division title game against Mater Dei was nothing short of a "roller-coaster" ride.
For the Vikings (10-3), their journey to the Southeast Division championship game against La Serna took more than 50 years.
But both programs were more than happy to make it.
"It's always nice to be here," said Poly coach Raul Lara, who is no stranger to championship week, where he and his team haven't been guests since the 2008 season. "It's always nice to finish the season up here."
Poly opened the season with a 1-3 record, including a historic 56-0 loss to Narbonne in Week 2. But the Jackrabbits regrouped, won a watered-down Moore League and went into the playoffs with more questions than answers.
In the postseason, Poly looked like the Poly of yesteryear, the one that perennially battled for CIF championships. The first victim was Bishop Amat, then undefeated Mission Viejo, and last week unbeaten (on the field) St. John Bosco.
That has led the unranked Jackrabbits to Saturday's Pac-5 Division title showdown against No. 4-seeded Mater Dei at Angel Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
"Down deep I knew we were improving," Lara said. "I knew we were better, but didn't know how much better. ... We played some pretty tough teams (during their early-season struggles). Three of them were in the semifinals and two of them (Narbonne in the L.A. City Section and Serra in the CIF-SS Western Division) finals."
Lara and his counterpart, Bruce Rollinson of Mater Dei (11-2), had a little bit of fun during the team introductions. After all, this will be the fourth time the two have met in the title game. Poly won in 1997, Mater Dei won in 1998 and the teams tied in 1999.
After the Monarchs were introduced, Rollinson ended his talk with, "Let's go, Poly!"
Lara was happy to oblige.
"This is a great matchup. I'm looking forward to it," Lara said. "The Pac-5 was supposed to be new, different this year ... but it's the same old Poly versus Mater Dei."
Maybe nobody was happier to be in attendance on Monday than the contingent from Downey. The Vikings have never made an appearance in the 37 years that the football luncheon has been held.
That's because Downey hasn't made a CIF final since the 1957 season.
But on Saturday against second-seeded La Serna (12-1), the third-seeded Vikings will finally - 55 years later - find themselves on the field in a championship game at a site to be announced today.
"It's good for the community," said Downey coach Jack Williams, a graduate of the school who finished his prep football career on a 1-9 team in 1994. "It was great to have the support we had Friday night. We had like 150 to 200 alumni there."
Williams, like any coach, envisioned getting to the final game when he was hired. He said it happened a little sooner than he expected.
"My thing was it would take five years," he said. "And this is just my third."
The Vikings, who finished in a three-way tie for the San Gabriel Valley League title, cruised past Burbank for their first playoff win since 1999, won a hard-fought game against Norwalk in the second round, and routed Santa Fe last week.
Now it's time for Downey to focus on its rematch against La Serna at , which won the Week 1 game 28-27 in overtime. The Vikings opted to go for a two-point conversion and fell a half-yard short.
"Watching the film of that game this weekend, I noticed that we are a completely different team," Williams said.

Municipal courts in each jurisdiction will have authority to prosecute violators. Local police, however, may not be authorized to issue citations for those courts until individual city councils incorporate the smoking ban into local laws and regulations. In Milwaukee, city health officers are seeking clarification for other city officials to give tickets to smokers or locations that permit smoking. In some cities, police and city councils have stated that smoking ban enforcement will receive low priority.
Since the law prohibits smoking only within an "enclosed space," some tavern owners have also interpreted the law to mean that smoking could be permissible in their establishments as long as there are sufficient windows and ventilation.

Drive's Barnes strong, but streak ends
Red Sox prospect fans eight at Class A amid promotion talk
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | April 29, 2012 3:40 PM ET
Barnes, a 2011 first-round pick and the Red Sox's No. 13 prospect, struck out eight over 5 2/3 strong innings Sunday in the Class A Drive's 7-3 loss to the Lakewood BlueClaws.
"I thought I pitched pretty well, got ahead of batters," Barnes said. "The curveball was on and off throughout the game, but I made some adjustments, threw a lot of changeups."
But not just any changeup. The former University of Connecticut standout said he has switched -- permanently, he believes -- from a four-seam grip to a two-seam circle-change grip. Why?
"It moves a little more," he said of the latter, which he refined in college and the Cape Cod League.
With our without more movement, the 21-year-old right-hander has stayed on a steady course this month. He began his career with 26 2/3 scoreless innings, a streak that ended soon after his exit on Sunday. Barnes yielded a leadoff single in the sixth to Gustavo Gonzalez, who was forced on Carlos Perdomo's one-out grounder, but Perdomo scored once Hunter Cervenka (0-3) came on in relief.
"It's more frustrating in a scenario like that when you're not in control," Barnes said. "But it's still early. [The streak] is impractical for the whole season."
Barnes' final line: one run on three hits.
Barnes' ERA through five pro starts: 0.34.
He said the conclusion of the streak was not a big deal among teammates in the clubhouse or the family members who joined him for dinner Sunday evening. Still, the numbers confound. Barnes has a 42-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio through 26 2/3 innings. He's allowed 12 hits.
Despite rumblings that he could be sent to Class A Advanced Salem by next weekend, Barnes said a promotion is not on his mind.
"I'm just going about my daily business," he added. "I'll leave that to the front office."
BlueClaws starter Ervis Manzanillo yielded three runs on five hits over five innings. Bryan Morgado (2-0) earned the win with three scoreless frames.

* Thu Feb 17 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Replace gnome-session Requires with gnome-session-core: we don't need the full GNOME session, but simply the gnome-session program. - Add gnome-power-manager-no-xfce.patch to not start gnome-power-manager in XFCE since XFCE has xfce4-power-manager. * Sun Feb 13 2011 email@example.com - Call relevant macros in %post/%postun: + %desktop_database_post/postun because the package ships at least one desktop file. + %icon_theme_cache_post/postun because the package ships themed icons. + %mime_database_post/postun because the package ships a mime type definition. - Pass %{?no_lang_C} to %find_lang so that english documentation can be packaged with the program, and not in the lang subpackage. - Change Requires of lang subpackage to Recommends, since the english documentation is not there anymore. * Wed Dec 15 2010 email@example.com - Add polkit Requires since pkexec is used. - Own /usr/share/polkit-1 and /usr/share/polkit-1/actions to fix build. We could instead add a polkit BuildRequires, but it's really an abuse in this case, especially as we won't notice if it will not be needed anymore. * Mon Sep 27 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.32.0: + Updated translations. * Fri Sep 17 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.31.92: + Only disable deprecated code for --enable-strict builds + Remove last traces of DeviceKit-power + Updated translations. - Remove sed hack to build with deprecated symbols. * Wed Sep 01 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.31.91: + brightness-applet: Add missing include + inhibit-applet: Add missing include and re-enable deprecated GDK functions + bgo#613984: Do not autoscale the percentage graph in the history tab + Do not dist org.gnome.power.policy in the tarball + bgo#627711: Don't crash on systems which don't have XBACKLIGHT + Only connect the UpClient::device-added signal after the coldplug + Re-enable deprecated GDK functions for brightness applet + Use the correct backlight step value when using the legacy fallback device + Updated translations. * Wed Aug 18 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.31.90: + Deal with the deprecation of GtkNotebookPage + Cast idle_time_in_msec to appropriate type + Updated translations. - Remove gnome-power-manager-gtknotebook-deprectaed.patch, fixed upstream. - Remove hack around po/POTFILES.in, no longer needed. - Add sed hack on configure to support building with gtk 2.21.6 building: we need some deprecated symbols. * Wed Aug 18 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gnome-power-manager-gtknotebook-deprectaed.patch to fix build with gtk 2.21.6. Patch taken from upstream git. * Fri Aug 06 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.31.6: + New Features: - Add new 6 hours period in power history stats - Use device icons from the icon name specification + Bugfix: - Adjust dim timeout when necessary - As we no longer have more than one backlight mechanism, remove a ton of abstract code - Backport support for new devices recognised in UPower - Backport various translation fixes and translator comments from git master - Do not assume the lid is open at boot. bgo#622026 - Do not show gnome-power-statistics in the menus - Do not show the prefs menu on LiveCD's and with GDM. bgo#621674 - Don't treat percentage=0 as error condition - Fix a crash when displaying the 'No GConf schema warning' - Port from DeviceKit-power to UPower - Provide a pkexec helper for systems that do not have xbacklight capability - Remove hardcoded paths from pkexec setup - Remove the use of HAL from gnome-power-manager - Change DeviceKit-power-devel BuildRequires to libupower-glib-devel. - Change DeviceKit-power Requires to upower. - Add small hack to remove non-existing file from po/POTFILES.in so that translation-update-upstream doesn't fail. - Drop gnome-power-manager-manpage_generation.patch: fixed upstream. * Fri Jun 11 2010 email@example.com - Add gnome-power-manager-manpage_generation.patch: manpages that are created contain output from the docbook2man command at random positions in the text (bnc#613336) * Wed May 26 2010 email@example.com - Remove hal-devel BuildRequires: we don't use --enable-hal for configure, so it won't get used anyway. And it should work fine without hal now. * Mon May 03 2010 email@example.com - Do not explicitly require hal. * Thu Apr 29 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.30.1: + Only dim the screen on idle when on the active console + Make EggConsoleKit a singleton + Fix up a critical warning from the GpmScreensaver code + Updated translations. * Mon Mar 29 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.30.0: + Check for libpanel only if building the applets + Check for XRR* functions using library version instead of proto version + Use pkg-config instead of autoconf macros to find X libs and protos + Declare GError in gpm_brightness_hal_init to fix build failure + Do not set a charge warning if the device is on AC + Do not use EggDbusProxy in GpmScreensaver + Don't query the capabilities of the notification daemon + Ensure we close any 'battery low' notifications when we switch to being on AC + Fix a problem where the critical action is not done in the case of a UPS + Fix a race condition where we can miss the idle reset alarm + Fix up a translation using ngettext rather than assuming the plural.

After 39 years at Chiefland High School, the man everybody in town calls Coach still carried his paddle to work. Like his paddle, Cecil Doyle McCall was strong, firm and surprisingly quick.
"No one could paddle like Coach McCall," said Rob Alexander, a Chiefland banker and one of his former students.
Paddling served as a microcosm of Coach McCall's outlook toward discipline and life in general. He had a straightforward, aggressive approach as a principal, a coach, a teacher, a friend and as a man.

I have about 17 questions in the WorldStart inbox that are all variations of "Why is Microsoft stopping support for XP?" Many go on to answer the question with "Because they are evil, greedy #%$! who are out to get me."
But I suggest looking at it another way. How long would you continue to spend millions of dollars and thousands of man hours a year supporting a 13-year-old product? If you sold something, would you be willing to extend a warranty on it beyond 13 years?
Especially when you have people actively working to sabotage your product every day. What you need to do in order to support that product changes on a daily basis. This is also a product that you stopped selling 6 years ago. So you aren't bringing in much revenue for it. XP has proven to have a lot of security vulnerabilities with a virus infection rate more than double that of Windows 7 systems, so keeping it safe is a whole lot of work.
And supporting this product won't lead to new purchases of software or hardware since the users are people who are pretty much content with what they have.
Your answer might be yes, but Microsoft's is a definite "no."
