Post subject: Art's 2013 Mock Draft w/trades
Eric Fisher, OT,
Central Michigan
: It's been Fisher vs Joeckel for the past month. Fisher's mean streak and "high ceiling" gives him the edge. The loss of Eric Winston and the potential Branden Albert trade makes this an easy pick.
Luke Joeckel, OT,
Texas A&M
: Between Fisher and Joeckel, the Jags are going to take whoever the Chiefs don't. Although the defense finished last in total sacks, they finished bottom five in offense while Gabbert and Henne took a beating. Luke Joeckel has more value than any available pass rusher at #2.
*TRADE: The Oakland Raiders trade pick #3 to the Philadelphia Eagles for pick #4 and #136*
Explanation: Sounds silly, right? This happened last year when Cleveland traded up one spot to draft Trent Richardson. With 2 of the top 3 tackles immediately off the board, panic sets in with tackle-starved teams Philly, Detroit, and Arizona. Oakland isn't known to trade down, but hey, it's one spot and Oakland only has 3 picks in the first 5 rounds. They get an extra pick and still get their guy.
Lane Johnson, OT,
: Jason Peters is coming off two achilles tears in one year while the team would prefer to move Todd Herremans back inside. The athletic Lane Johnson is a perfect fit for Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense.
Shariff Floyd, DT,
: The Raiders finished second to last in sacks and don't have any decent DT's. Floyd has been labeled a gifted interior pass rusher by draft experts.
Dion Jordan, DE,
: Despite having outstanding play from the DT position, the Lions still finished toward the bottom of the league in sacks. Jordan is the best available pure pass-rusher in the draft.
*TRADE: The Browns trade pick #6 to the Atlanta Falcons for pick #30, #60, #127, and 2014 1st and 4th round picks*
Explanation: These two teams made a blockbuster trade in 2011. Why not do it again? Shockingly enough, the Browns don't have any real pressing needs. The Falcons on the other hand are hurting for a CB. Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff is extremely aggressive on draft day and isn't afraid to go get his guy.
Dee Milliner, CB,
: The release (and torn ACL) of Brent Grimes left a huge hole in the secondary. And despite their record, they finished bottom 10 in pass defense. Milliner is without a doubt the best CB in the draft.
DJ Fluker, OT,
: In Bruce Arians' vertical offense, Carson Palmer is going to need some time to throw the ball. Arizona's O-line, especially the tackle position, is abysmal, making a reach for Fluker warranted.
Ryan Nassib, QB,
: Another move that's going to appear as a huge reach. However, if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you feel like there's one available, you absolutely have to take him. Nassib has the physical tools to play in elements of Buffalo and is also familiar with the offense as he reunites with HC Doug Marrone.
Tavon Austin, WR,
West Virginia
: It was tough watching an offense as embarrassing as the Jets. I'm surprised to see they were only the 3rd worst in terms of offensive yards. Tavon Austin is easily the most explosive skill player in the draft. Santonio Holmes, who's a headache anyway, will be gone next year. Austin should be an upgrade.
Jonathan Cooper, OG,
: Tennessee signed guard Andy Levitre in free agency but there's massive hole on the other side. Jonathan Cooper fits Tennessee's zone blocking system more than Chance Warmack. Drafting Cooper should leave Chris Johnson with no excuses at the end of the season
Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah, DE/OLB,
: San Diego has arguably the worst O-line in the league on paper, so taking Chance Warmack would make sense. However, if they were to draft a guard after not even offering Louis Vasquez a contract, the fanbase would rage. With no good tackles on the board, they go with Ziggy at 11. The need for a pass-rusher arose after letting Shaun Phillips hit free agency.
*TRADE: The Miami Dolphins trade pick #12 to the Dallas Cowboys for pick #18 and #80.*
Explanation: Miami's made it known that they've been wanting to trade down. Dallas has some gaping holes on defense and when Jerry see's something Jerry doesn't like, Jerry isn't afraid to get a little aggressive.
Kenny Vaccaro, FS,
: Despite having top of the line corners and pass-rushers, the Cowboys still managed to finished in the bottom half in pass defense. Dallas currently does not have a competent safety on the roster. Vaccaro will stay in state and provide the Cowboys a much needed boost in centerfield.
Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB,
: You don't typically see a Rex Ryan team finish sixth to last in sacks. Mingo is strictly a pass-rusher in the 3-4 and will immediately be inserted into the starting lineup.
Star Lotulelei, DT,
: DT is arguably Carolina's biggest need. They catch a break with the "Falling Star" (heyo) dropping out of the projected top 10 and into their lap at 14.
Sheldon Richardson, DT,
: If rebuilding their awful defense wasn't hard enough, they now have to adapt to a 3-4. In this scenario, you just go with the best front-seven player available, which is Richardson.
Deandre Hopkins, WR,
: The coaching staff has been glued to Hopkins for the past few days. Understandably so, considering they lost two of their top receiving targets from an already thin WR corps (Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson).
Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB,
: A pass-rusher became an obvious need after the release of James Harrison. Jarvis Jones' physical style and high motor fits Pittsburgh Steeler football to a T.
Xavier Rhodes, CB,
Florida State
: The guy that Miami was going to pick #12 is still on the board. That's a good first day. Miami's only good CB, Sean Smith, left for a big pay day in KC. Brent Grimes was signed but he's coming off an ACL tear. In short, CB was a huge need.
Chance Warmack, OG,
: Here are the Giants, right on queue. Signing the potential top 10 player that slips to the in the middle of the round. Guard isn't there biggest need, but needs haven't stopped them from getting the player they feel is best fit for their club.
Manti Te'o, LB,
Notre Dame
: Despite the catfish fiasco, Manti is a solid player and arguably the best ILB on the board. Whether Manti is the pick or not, the Bears are in dire need of a LB with the departure of Brian Urlacher and can't afford to pass on one of the top one's here.
Jonathan Cyprien, SS,
Florida International
: Taylor Mays has been awful since he entered the league. Add to the fact that a CB was playing FS last year, drafting the best available safety is almost a no-brainer.
*TRADE: The Rams trade pick #22 to the Cleveland Browns for pick #30, #68, and #139*
Explanation: For the Rams, the value of the players at their position of need lies at the end of the 1st round / beginning of the 2nd round. New Browns management haven't exactly hid the fact they're not Brandon Weeden's biggest fan. With a few QBs falling down the board, this is a perfect opportunity to snatch one of them up.
Geno Smith, QB,
West Virginia
: Brandon Weeden didn't play awful, but he does turn 30 this year... and it's his second year in the league. It was a botched pick by previous management. Geno, thought of by most to be the top QB in the draft, has the physical tools to play in Cleveland. He'll push Weeden for the starting job.
DJ Hayden, CB,
: Hayden has been rapidly rising up the draft boards. This is good value and fills a need considering the Vikings were unable to retain Antoine Winfield.
Margus Hunt, DE/OLB,
Southern Methodist
: Dwight Freeney left, Robert Mathis is getting up there in age, Jerry Hughes remains a bust, and Indy didn't generate much of a pass rush last year. Standing at 6'8, 277lbs with 4.5 speed, the ceiling is as tall as Hunt.
Sylvester Williams, DT,
: Sylvester has been another fast riser. Minnesota didn't get much production opposite Kevin Williams. It'll be nice to have another Williams tandem going on in Minnesota.
Menelik Watson, OT,
Florida State
: Aaron Rodgers was sacked more than any other QB in the league last year. Ensuring your Super Bowl winning, franchise QB stays off his back should probably be your top priority. Watson is extremely raw but has ideal size and is extremely athletic. His potential is through the roof.
Justin Hunter, WR,
: WR is an obvious pick for Houston, who has no one to take the heat off of an aging Andre Johnson. Hunter has the size and speed to be an absolute nightmare for opposing DB's.
Tyler Eifert, TE,
Notre Dame
: Eifert was projected by many to go in the teens. The value doesn't get much better here. Despite Peyton making them look competent, Joel Dreesen and Jacob Tamme just aren't that good.
*TRADE: The New England Patriots trade pick #29 to the Detroit Lions for pick #36, #137, and #171
Explanation: New England is known for trading down. In this draft, the value between the late first round and the early second round doesn't change much at all. Meanwhile, Detroit looks to take some attention away from Calvin Johnson.
Cordarelle Patterson, WR,
: When you combine his frame, speed, and playmaking ability, he'd appear to be the best WR in the draft. However, the knock on him is that he's raw and just not that smart. Detroit is willing weigh the risk vs reward with Patterson.
Kyle Long, OG,
: With a clear need at the guard position, the Rams go with the Bloodline. Although he only played one year of football at Oregon, he's got the athleticism, measurables, and smarts you look for in a lineman.
Eric Reid, FS,
: Dashon Goldson was a huge reason why the Niners' defense was able to play at an elite level. Losing him is definitely going to sting, but Reid should help soften the blow.
Alec Ogletree, LB,
: Despite all of his off-the-field issues, Ogletree makes it into the first round. He's an amazing athlete but you never really know where he's at mentally. If John Harbaugh can keep him in line, this is a steal.

Really pray the Falcons don't do this again. I love Dee although not as much as i did Julio. But the difference is we had very little need in the julio draft. This year we have tons of needs because of that draft.
Their are also quite a few reports out in the last day or 2 that are saying the trades we are looking to make Dimitroff refuses to put our 2014 1st or 2013 2nd in. So im in comfort so far after hearing that form quite a few draft guys lately.

I can't see the FO going OG. Fans have been begging for OG's for years with no response.
I don't think we could pass on Ansah here.

Count me in the group that doesn't like Reid, but the niners seem to like him, so the pick makes sense. Unless we trade up, I agree that he is the likely pick

An OT doesn't have more value than any available pass rush at #2. RTs don't have that kind of value.

Bro, I spent 6 hours on a Wednesday night writing up this mock. I'm not pulling up draft value charts and doing math too lol
With the first trade, I just copied the compensation from the 2011 trade which was a very similar trade. With the second trade, just pretend they didn't give up that much.

This is Eugene Monroe's last year under contract and the reports are the Jags aren't going to extend him. Joeckel will be your guys' LT in 2014, at the very latest.

LOVE the trade up for CP. Jordan is okay, I prefer Ansah though.

Well Done for first, spending the time to make a Mock Draft look interesting and encouraging me to continue reading. I had the boring 'list' Mocks.
Also, for including trades, trades are an absolute certainty to happen in the real Draft, so why do people insist on no incorporating them into their Mocks?
Love the trade for New England, it's almost a certainty that we trade down with only 5 picks (2 7th's) in the draft though a lot of FFers wouldn't be happy on passing on Patterson.

NIX3ATMAHBLRGT: Lite Ride GT and INOVA X3ATMA Bike Light, 175 Max Lumens
Nite Ize
Simply slide your barrel-shaped handheld flashlight into its grooved, thermoplastic rubber base, adjust the two bendable 9" Gear Ties for a secure fit, and twist their ends tightly around any bicycle handlebar - voila! Instant bright, directed light that not only alerts others to your presence, but also illuminates the path ahead for a doubly safe ride in the dark. Constructed with strong internal wires, the Gear Ties hold their shape wherever you twist them. Their soft, durable external rubber won't scratch or mark surfaces, and they can be twisted and untwisted hundreds of times, so you can move the Lite Ride GT to other bikes, wrap it any other bars, poles, or straps to hang or create directed light where you need it. You can even shape the Gear Tie ends into feet and create a free-standing table for steady, focused light while making roadside repairs.
INOVA X3ATMA Bike Light Details:
Like all the INOVA flashlights, the X3A offers superior light projection that increases your visibility and safety. But because it's powered by 3 AAA batteries, it also does that at a much lower cost per user hour. Its dual use design allows for easy transition between bike light and hand held device. Just slide the INOVA X3A onto the included durable Lite Ride GT and wrap the attached, flexible Gear Ties around any size handlebar-no tools required. Its bright 175 lumen beam can be set to one of three modes: High power, low power, or our innovative Safe-Day™ Pulse, which creates an irregular, attention-grabbing pattern to increase visibility even during the day. When you've parked your bike, the INOVA X3A is easy to remove and can be tucked into a backpack, purse, pocket, or used as a handheld flashlight to safely illuminate your path in the dark. Remove the X3A from your handlebars and prop or hang the Gear Ties for hands free lighting to assist in roadside repairs or as a signal light.

Swithin at once hailed a carriage and started at full gallop on the road to Linz.
Swithin glanced at the Citadel and thought, 'Looks a strong place!
It was almost impossible that she could know anything of the deterrent force exercised on Swithin by his dead uncle that morning.
Swithin's eyes swelled a little with his desire to see what they were waiting for.
Swithin reddened, a resemblance to a turkey-cock coming upon his old face.
Swithin felt the white heat in those faces—it was not decent!
And yet Swithin did not turn; he felt an indescribable reluctance to see Viviette.
Swithin ceased to wonder; he ceased to wonder at anything they did.
Swithin stealthily retraced his steps, and paused a minute outside the sitting-room to regain his self-control.
Swithin looked at Rozsi—her eyes were bright, her lips tremulous.

Gateway soccer teams come up short in openers
The Gateway boys and girls varsity soccer teams hoped to start their seasons off on winning notes Saturday afternoon, but Franklin Regional's two squads, hosting the nonsection doubleheader, had other ideas.
The boys game saw the Panthers break through in overtime, 1-0, while the Gateway girls were not able to generate much offense in a 4-0 loss.
Franklin Regional, which returned numerous starters from last year's WPIAL quarterfinal team, didn't give Gateway much room to operate.
The Panthers defense limited the Gators to only four shots, a low total seldom seen from a Gateway girls soccer squad.
Franklin Regional, on the other hand, had just eight shots of its own, but it made half of them count.
Three Panthers goals were scored prior to halftime.
"We were slow and didn't make good decisions," Sanders said.
The Gators won last year's meeting at Antimarino Stadium, 3-2, in overtime.
Freshman Autumn Velasquez scored twice to lead Franklin Regional in her first varsity game.
Sanders said the Panthers' four goals were scored on some form of a breakaway.
Gateway hoped to bounce back quickly after Saturday's loss, as they were slated to host Woodland Hills on Wednesday evening at Antimarino Stadium.
The Section 3-AAA game was to be completed past the deadline for this week's edition.
"It will be fixed quick," Sanders said after Saturday's game.
"It has to be fixed quick. The kids have to be more focused for the game, and they can't shut down after mistakes. We made some mistakes in the scrimmage against Elizabeth Forward (on Aug. 22) and were able to correct them. (Saturday) we didn't. The girls know they have the talent to do well. They just have to execute."
Gateway takes on Penn Hills on Monday at 7:30 p.m. in a section game at Penn Hills' Linton Middle School.
Because of a section bye next Wednesday, the Penn Hills matchup is the only section contest for the Gators until they host Oakland Catholic at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 16.
The Gators will be in action against Central Valley at the Hampton Tournament on Sept. 14.
The Gateway and Franklin Regional boys teams know a lot about playing each other in overtime.
Last year's game at Antimarino Stadium ended in a scoreless tie.
Saturday's matchup also headed into overtime tied 0-0, but this time, the Panthers got the game winner from junior Timmy Jolayemi to take the nonsection contest between the neighboring rivals.
"It's nice to open the season against an opponent like Franklin Regional, knowing all the quality players they have," Duda said. "It prepared us for what's coming. We started the week in practice tweaking a few things and getting ready for section play."
Gateway travels to Penn Hills for a Section 3-AAA game Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
The Gators step away from section play Saturday when they host the Mars Planets at 2:30 p.m. at Antimarino Stadium.
Duda said he and the assistant coaches questioned a non-call on a 50-50 ball in the air near midfield during Saturday's overtime session.
"One of their players was basically on our player's back going for the ball and trying to get a header," Duda said.
"He wouldn't allow our player to go up. They put the ball down the sidelines and took one touch in towards the goal, and it basically was a breakaway. Those things happen, and we couldn't change the outcome."
Despite the outcome, Duda said his team played really well.
"We outshot them," he said. "Our keeper (Matt Shapiro) played phenomenally and made some big saves when we needed them. We moved the ball very well and created chances (to score).
"The play was pretty even. Neither team had an overwhelming advantage at any one point. We just couldn't get one past their keeper."

10 or so FAVORITES OF 2012Posted in JIMMY ON MOVIES: Thoughts on Films, The Folks Who Make Them, & Those Who Love Them on January 31st, 2013 by Jim Delaney
Would you prefer to have another year with a few outstanding films adrift in a sea of mediocrity, or a year where a rising tide of passion and skill lifted many filmmakers to high watermarks in their careers? Only one film truly blew me away this year; some may find that reason to complain, but I am reminded of Crash Davis' advice to Nuke LaLoosh in BULL DURHAM: "Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls – it's more democratic." 2012 was not a great year for movies, but it was a very good year.
10. Skyfall and The Dark Knight Rises
We've had 50 years of James Bond films, and numerous incarnations of Batman, but both of these films are unique in their series in that they each complete a trilogy. SKYFALL and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES arrived with heavy expectations, and were greeted with commercial and mostly critical success; both also had every lose thread tugged at by detractors during the inevitable backlash. Despite the flaws, or sometimes in complete rejection of them, I enjoyed both finales. The thing about Bond and Batman is that fans from multiple generations can claim to have grown up with them. But who may lay claim to their interpretation of each hero being the one true version? I've heard it said that SKYFALL diminishes 007 by giving him too much back story; aficionados Ian Fleming's novels know that Bond comes with enough history to be explored by no less than Kingsley Amis. As technology and gadgets became more of a staple of Bond's arsenal, the films lost sight of his three close-quarter combat skills from the novels: pistol shot, boxer, and knife thrower. I'm probably making too much of this moment, but one of my biggest smiles in the movies this year came when Daniel Craig vanquishes one key opponent with a thrown knife, a skill that I'm pretty sure we have not seen since Roger Moore in OCTOPUSSY. The Bond films starring Daniel Craig have served a purpose similar to D.C. Comics Crisis on Infinite Earths: they smoothly reconcile all those stray threads and different generational interpretations of Bond in one handshake. All that has past is prologue; Bond now belongs to the ages, as much as King Arthur or Sherlock Holmes.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is one of those films that could have been shorter, but I'm glad I wasn't the guy who had to make the decision what to cut, because so much of it resonates exactly because of its operatic grandiosity. Even moreso than in Christopher Nolan's first two Bat films, I loved the elevation of Gotham City to a battleground as epic in scale as Middle Earth, and as American as a litany of road movies. I saw Yvonne Craig (Batgirl in the 1960's BATMAN TV series) at a comicbook convention shortly after Tim Burton's BATMAN opened in 1989. She remarked that she had trouble buying Burton's Gotham as a place in America. I've lived in Los Angeles and New York, and I know my way around London, Pittsburgh, and Newark. I loved that chases through Gotham in 2012 would begin in one city, turn a corner into another, and collide in yet another. Gotham in Nolan's hands became like an expertly mixed DJ mash-up: a cohesive location comprising other cities. Nolan's singularly desperate image, right before all hell breaks lose, of two stained and frayed American flags hanging over the Gotham Stock Exchange may be the most powerful political image I've seen all year. Batman and company hail from a divided America where both sides are beaten and battered and neither is the better for it. The full immersion into this world is what makes THE DARK KNIGHT RISES a fitting conclusion to Nolan's Bat trilogy, and also makes this trilogy the 2nd most ambitious achievement in comicbook adaptation we have yet seen.
9. Excision
I dropped the ball earlier this year. In the past few years, I have written summations of two of my favorite local film festivals, but this year I allowed myself to be distracted. For me the biggest surprise of the 2012 Boston Underground Film Festival was Richard Bates Jr's EXCISION. This film is the sort of unsettling, deviant, macabre trip that makes me look forward to BUFF. AnnaLynne McCord plays a geeky high school outcast who fantasizes herself a mad doctor, and who endeavors to use her fantasy life to rescue her little sister from Cystic Fibrosis. The film pulls off a potentially ridiculous story largely because it is grounded by a strong cast, including camp veterans John Waters, Traci Lords, and Malcolm McDowell, all playing their roles completely straight. Keeping hipster irony in check, they manage to tease layers of sorrow and fear that would have been smothered had they gone more tongue in cheek. I spoke briefly with Traci Lords (you get to meet a lot of cool people at comic shows!); she is very proud of this film, and feels it is her best work yet. I have to agree. Her collaborations with Waters and Kevin Smith revealed her to be an under-rated comic actress; here she shows equal dramatic range. This film never made me jump from my seat, but it got under my skin more than any other horror film in recent memory.
8. Killing Them Softly and Django Unchained
Late 2012 gave me two very cool flashbacks to films of the 1970's, though technically they recalled genres that I did not become familiar with until the '80's. Andrew Dominik's KILLING THEM SOFTLY reminds me of badass 70's crime movies like THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE; both films were adapted from novels by Boston crime writer George V. Higgins. KILLING THEM SOFTLY also recalls Cassavetes films like THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE and GLORIA. The characters of this film often have the same flaws that doomed Eddie Coyle's crew, while Dominik invokes Cassavetes' exploration of downtime amongst the underworld to further flesh out his characters. You are told a little, but shown everything you will need to know, about how and why each of these men kills and dies. My inclusion of this film amongst my favorites of the year is something of an investment; much as I enjoyed it when I first saw it, I expect it will grow on me over the next decade.
My awareness of the films Quentin Tarantino channeled in DJANGO UNCHAINED began with the another great film born from westerns and blaxploitation films, BLAZING SADDLES. This is Tarantino's second opus wherein audiences and critics mistake it for a revision of revisionist history. As with the fantastic historical inaccuracies of Tarantino's INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, his DJANGO succeeds when you consider it a revision of cinema history. It's as if he's toying with our acceptance of cinema legend rather than genuine history, and taunting us to accept an even more slanted expression, one with no pretense of telling you "how it really was" through a veil of the studio development process. Tarantino unapologeticly and proudly makes fiction with a capital F. Mel Brooks challenged generations of American myth building with BLAZING SADDLES by shattering the fourth wall with Marx Bros style slapstick. Tarantino has taken some heat for presenting a film that seems less comedic and more dramatic than BLAZING SADDLES, though I could argue that it is only the violence quotient that makes anyone regard this film any more seriously than Mel's.
7. Lincoln
Steven Spielberg's examination of the final season of the life of Abraham Lincoln is not without its flaws. Some have gone as far as to hate it for the fact that it blows a perfect ending by continuing for another 3 or 4 scenes. To them I must respond "don't let perfect be the enemy of pretty damn close!" This is not a movie for people who want to hear Abraham Lincoln's most famous speeches read by Daniel Day-Lewis. This is a behind closed doors story of a common man, where in his closed doors happen to be the office of the President, and the bedroom of a husband and father trying to hold his family together following the recent loss of a son. This is not a biopic full of all the major moments we've all heard about since elementary school. This is a political nailbiter for anyone who sees the drama in Sunday morning news shows, for people who understand the difference between common language and the letter of the law, for policy wonks who thrill to a well reasoned and well stated argument. And yes, it is thrilling the hear Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, David Strathairn, James Spader, and Hal Holbrook whisper and thunder in these divergent halls of power.
6. Life of Pi
Your average movie fan acknowledges AVATAR as the first masterpiece of the most recent wave of 3-D films. Cinefiles gave hesitant respect to 3-D as a legitimate tool for serious filmmakers after it was used by Martin Scorsese, Werner Herzog, and Wim Wenders. For my money, Ang Lee's THE LIFE OF PI is the most significant advance in special effects since the motion capture work in THE LORD OF THE RINGS, and it is the first modern movie that absolutely had to be in 3-D. This is such an internalized story that it had to feel like you could reach out and touch it, and such a challenging tightrope of perspective that it needed to be this explosively vivid to make us believe, doubt, and believe again in all the possible interpretations. We go to the movies to see something we have never seen before, something we've never imagined and didn't even know we hungered to witness; in achieving this THE LIFE OF PI elevates 3-D to its own art form.
5. Les Miserables
I have never seen the stage musical of this story. I read the book in high school, but we had to read it too quickly for it to impact a slow reader like me. I loved this movie because it is a timeless example of what big studios with big budgets can do when they hire big talents to express big ideas and emotions. At first glance the immenseness of this production may seem to drown out any trace of subtlety. Closer inspection reveals it to be one incisive subtlety after another. Much has been written about the live singing on set with live accompaniment, and the unpolished immediacy that lent to the performances. Anne Hathaway's singing in her heartbreaking rendition of the staple "I Dreamed A Dream" is only half the reason this scene is one of the signature moments in musical history. Watch carefully: this was shot in one take. We never cut away from her face. If Hathway moved a few inches to her left or right, or made any of the grand gestures that this song might engender, she could slip out of the frame and the artifice would become obvious. In the medium of live theater musical this would have looked underplayed; in the film musical medium she is explosive. Expand this minute attention to physical detail and emotional authenticity to Tom Hooper's entire film, and you will understand why this story that had never mattered much to me before managed to blow me away this year.
4. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope
At first glance you may think "there goes the nerd, naming the Comic Con doc as one of his favorites." And that may be true, but Morgan Spurlock's film reminds me of a phenomenal and underrated graffiti doc called Next, plus some of the better hip-hop docs. Spurlock laughs more with people than at them. His are films made by a searching soul seeking to connect, which is why he examines each issue from multiple angles. Here he meets aspiring comicbook artists, costume cosplayers, collectors, vendors and fans. Any of these groups could be the subject of an entire movie, but like hip-hop docs that touch on DJing, MCing, dance, and graffiti, I think Spurlock explored the humanity of each group without going so far into the minutia as to lose those not within this culture. I literally heard an audience burst into action movie-level applause for one aspiring artist in the film when they receive a job offer from their dream employer. Don't discount how special an experience it is for a nonfiction film to capture that moment.
3. Headhunters
We get a couple of these per decade, if we're lucky. Like The Square and A Simple Plan, this is a tight as a drum thriller with delicious twists of fate punctuated by believable but shocking character moments. Like CABIN IN THE WOODS, the less you know, the better. I love how many buttons this movie pushes in its first act. Half way through the second act when you think you might know where it's heading, you'll be reminded of another wrinkle established at the opening. I'm already telling you too much! Just bring a strong stomach, and be ready to see a absorbing mystery, before it's diluted by a Hollywood remake.
2. Burn and Detropia
I've already mentioned dropping the ball earlier this year on summarizing my experience with the Boston Underground Festival. I also failed to discuss the Independent Film Festival of Boston, where I saw these two fantastic films, both focused on Detroit. BURN was produced by Denis Leary, no stranger himself to stories about firefighters. The unprecedented stylistic choice this film makes is the use of the same cameras attached to the helmets of NFL players to follow Detroit firefighters straight into infernos we can only imagine from Backdraft. Going deeper still, the film illuminates the lives of firefighters from several ladder companies, as they face city politics and community needs over the course of one year.
DETROPIA makes Detroit into a microcosm for the country, possibly the whole world, for the financial downturn of 2008 and 2009. It briefly addresses challenges faced by police and BURN's firefighters, as well as a local symphony facing the drying up of benefactor resources. As much as Spurlock's Comic-Con film could have focused diligently on one aspect as BURN did, DETROPIA benefits from a similarly wide-cast net. For all the loss of the Detroit that was, equal time is given to the stalwarts who will not be moved, though they are the last house on their block not foreclosed upon. With hesitant enthusiasm, the IFFB audience embraced the artists and bohemians (and heralds if gentrification) who migrated from New York and other art hubs where rents have out-priced the artists who create the next wave of design and perception. As much as DETROPIA gives us hope for the Detroit of tomorrow, BURN puts us in touch with those in immediate need to build that future.
1. Beasts of the Southern Wild
I can't say much more about this than I already have written. This film has become like a prayer for hope. I can barely speak the title of this film without a lump emerging on my throat. 10,000 years from now, scientists in the future will find filmed evidence of HushPuppy who lived in the Bathtub, but you can see her now, before she's gone.
Argo – This movie reminded me so much of Cold War-era thrillers like THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR and GORKY PARK that it made me feel nostalgic for something that I couldn't have possibly know about, because it was classified!
Cabin In The Woods – Way to turn that title on its head and inside out. I won't say more, because if you're among the few nerds who hasn't seen this yet, I don't want to deprive you of the pleasure!
End of Watch – beat cops wresting with a criminal conspiracy worthy of a James Ellroy novel are given unexpected intimacy by some creatively used first-person camera.
The Impossible – Nevermind the flawless performances and emotionally wrenching story; the sound design on the sequence where Naomi Watts is swept nearly drowning through a tsunami is why movies matter.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Because it reminds you what it was like to be 19, and raises your appreciation and hope for those experiencing that period right now.
The Raid: Redemption – I gotta go back to THE ROAD WARRIOR for the last time a film made on a modest budget without big studio support redefined how we film and edit action sequences.
Rust & Bone – Love comes at times we are not prepared for and in forms we do not anticipate. Not so often that movies reflect that, and never as well acted or excruciatingly written as this.
Silver Lining Playbook – David O. Russell has a knack for slipping in extra dimensions into any genre he plays with. "The Fighter" could have been just a boxing movie, instead of one of the better movies in the past generation about dysfunctional families and addiction. This could have been just another romantic comedy, instead of a smart movie about emotional and mentally damaged folks that skillfully avoids most cliches and RAIN MAN cuteness.
Whore's Glory – The final film in Michael Glawogger's trilogy on globalization focuses on the sort of underground economy examined in books like Eric Schlosser's "Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market," but too rarely in films. I love this movie for making people walk out of the screening I attended. This movie pulls no punches, and it shouldn't; it will hurt you, and it should.
Zero Dark Thirty – Truth? I expected a movie about the final weeks or months before the raid that assassinated Osama Bin Laden. I did not expect an espionage epic (such an overused word, "epic," but thematically it fits here) about the decade-long search leading up to that mission. I do not mean to diminish this film by comparing it to a Wile E. Coyote vs. Road Runner cartoon, but that is what it is at it's core. Rather than the immovable object, the unstoppable force so voraciously confronts such an ever-moving target that the film feels like you are trapped inside an atom smasher.

We investigate numerically the influence of fiber splices and fiber connectors to the statistics of mode dependent loss (MDL) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) outage capacity in mode multiplexed multi-mode fiber links. Our results indicate required splice losses much lower than currently feasible to achieve a reasonable outage capacity in long-haul transmission systems. Splice losses as low as 0.03dB may effectively lead to an outage of MIMO channels after only a few hundred kilometers transmission length. In a first approximation, the relative capacity solely depends on the accumulated splice loss and should be less than ≈ 2dB to ensure a relative capacity of 90%. We also show that discrete mode permutation (mixing) within the transmission line may effectively increase the maximum transmission distance by a factor of 5 for conventional splice losses.

thyroid nodule and hoarse voice
What is the connection between fibromyalgia syndrome & your thyroid gland? As I work with clients, I've found that nearly all of them have undiscovered thyroid gland issues. The most typical thing that i can suggest inside a discussion is perfect for someone to get a complete thyroid solar panel done by a good doctor who is aware of thyroid illness. Why? Numerous the signs of thyroid thyroid nodule and hoarse voice illness overlap with fibromyalgia signs and symptoms. It simply tends to make good sense to determine if a number of your fibromyalgia symptoms, or the signs of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), might be brought on by reduced thyroid gland. Additionally, thyroid problems might be increasing your CFS or fibromyalgia signs and symptoms, which makes them even worse than they would be in case your thyroid was working properly. If it is, then... Treating your thyroid could enhance your fibromyalgia syndrome. Right here are some of the symptoms of low thyroid gland that can imitate fibromyalgia: Exhaustion Sleeplessness Depressive disorders Brain fog Trouble focusing Sleeping a lot more than typical Muscle discomfort, particularly reduce body Muscle weakness Pain, stiffness, or swelling inside your joints Elevated sensitivity to temperature, particularly cold Other common symptoms of reduced thyroid are: Constipation Pale, dried-out skin Puffy face Hoarse tone of voice Raised levels of cholesterol Inexplicable putting on weight Trouble losing weight Heavier than normal monthly intervals Fragile finger nails and locks There are three things that make finding a thyroid condition difficult. First, the most typical the signs of thyroid nodule and hoarse voice low thyroid gland seem like fibromyalgia. One down side to this to becoming diagnosed with fibromyalgia is the fact that physicians might place all your symptoms under the Inchfibromyalgia syndromeInch proceeding and not appear further for causes. This may be what goes on together with your thyroid gland. If you grumble to your doctor that your thighs are harming a lot more than regular, but everything else feels the same, your doctor could very well say, InchYour fibromyalgia syndrome is flaring up. You must've carried out different things with individuals muscle tissue.Inch Nevertheless, in case your doctor knows the less popular symptoms of reduced thyroid, you might discover that your leg pain is a result of low thyroid gland. Second, your physician and/or laboratory might not know of the updated laboratory standards. In The fall of 2002, new recommendations had been authored by the American Association of Medical Endocrinologists (AACE) for which the standard range should be for the thyroid gland stimulating hormone (TSH). Before revision, a range of .5 to 5. was considered regular. However, the AACE found that individuals inside the plethora of 3.04 to 5. had the signs of thyroid problems. (This really is 1 test where the greater quantity signifies reduced thyroid gland perform.) Considering this, the AACE shifted the normal range to become .3 to three.04 - a much less wide variety. According to the AACE, this shift increases the number of people who are thought to have abnormal thyroid gland function. The reality is, these folks currently had abnormal thyroid gland function the exam now properly displays this, allowing these people to get medicine.
thyroid nodule and hoarse voice In case your physician continues to be thyroid nodule and hoarse voice using the old standards, I would recommend bringing this pr release from the AACE for your subsequent appointment. If your doctor remains resistant reading the pr release, it's time to locate a new doctor - at least for the thyroid gland needs. 3rd, your physician may only understand how to identify fundamental reduced thyroid. In order to correctly identify some thyroid problems, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune illness where your body thinks your thyroid is bad and attempts to destroy it, your doctor must operate a complete thyroid gland solar panel, not just a easy TSH test. Only by managing a complete thyroid panel, will a doctor who is aware of the particulars of thyroid gland illness possess the info needed to treat you. Your TSH levels can actually look regular while you are getting a problem with your thyroid gland. It was a thyroid problem antibodies that told my physician that I had Hashimoto's one of my clients does not manufacture enough T3 in the T4 in her body. They are issues you would don't know by only operating the TSH check. Most MD's is only going to operate the TSH test. Nevertheless, your thyroid gland check will include Free T3, Totally free T4, and thyroid antibodies TPO/TSI, along with the TSH level if you want to get a total diagnosis. Of course, you will also need to see a doctor that understands how to translate these test outcomes! Usually, that means visiting a naturopath. If you want help discovering a high quality one, tell me. You have lastly gotten a diagnosis of reduced thyroid gland. Now what? When taking care of your thyroid gland, there are two options: synthetic medicines or natural glandulars. Most MD's will prescribe thyroid nodule and hoarse voice synthetic medication for example Synthroid or levothyroxine to treat your hypothyroidism. These medications only contain the T4 thyroid gland hormonal. I have faith that glandulars are a far greater option. Using a organic glandular, such as Shield Thyroid gland, provides you with both T3 and T4 thyroid hormones. They are manufactured from this halloween thyroid, which is similar to human thyroid. Nevertheless, if you go with a organic glandular, select Shield Thyroid. Exactly why is Shield Thyroid gland brand thyroid nodule and hoarse voice the only way to go? I've study that many MD's prescribe synthetics simply because they think that natural glandulars aren't standardised, meaning that you might not obtain a consistent quantity of thyroid hormonal inside a natural pill. Woodland Laboratories, the maker of Shield Thyroid, assessments both the raw materials and also the actual tablets, to make certain that you are getting exactly what you are prescribed. Armour Thyroid gland is standardized. Additionally: Armour Thyroid is gluten free. The generics aren't. Organic glandulars have been proven to are more effective on depressive disorders than numerous anti-depressants! Synthetics can't get this to declare. Your thyroid gland produces both the T3 and T4 thyroid the body's hormones. Organic glandulars contain each T3 and T4 the synthetics most MD's prescribe don't. It's more often than not correct that natural products are utilized by the body more completely than synthetics. If you wish to read more about figuring out thyroid gland illness, Hashimoto's, and just how an undiscovered thyroid gland condition could be affecting you, I highly recommend studying So Why Do I Have Thyroid Signs and symptoms? by Datis Kharrazian. This is an excellent, groundbreaking guide about this topic. Motion Actions Check out the symptoms of low thyroid gland. Do any of them affect you? When they do, make a scheduled appointment to talk to your physician about managing a Complete thyroid solar panel to test your thyroid. Treating your thyroid gland can make a huge difference inside your fibromyalgia syndrome signs and symptoms. Your debt it to you to ultimately look at this as quickly as possible!

It would have burned clock.. and it would have burned a down.
We needed to score so I'm not throwing away
Running the ball with Jamaal Charles is not even remotely close to "throwing away" a down.
Fair point.. but people said it with wanting to just keep the clock going. If we score on the run play what changes? Maybe poorly worded in my quote above but I just didn't want to run the ball
just to burn clock
if you score on a run play, the outcome is more acceptable. At least you did the right thing. To lose like this is beyond stupid. We had OT GUARANTEED even if we didn't get in. Succop ain't missing no 25 yarder. We chose the option that gave the OTHER TEAM their BEST chance of winning. SD had to WANT incompletions. We gave them a great chance at that. That throw was forced and Bowe made an AMAZING catch or we're at 2nd and goal from the 5, they STILL have 2 TOs and we ran 5 seconds off the clock. There is honestly no defending choosing to call a pass in that scenario. None. You have JAMAAL FREAKING CHARLES. Give it to him 3 times use up all the time, if he doesn't get in, let's go to OT. It really was that simple.

No. It was one of his known flaws as a coach. That and his tendency towards offensive one-dimensionality, both of which have rung true thus far.
I think, personally, we need a more assertive offensive coordinator.

why in the world did we call a timeout there???
Andy wanted to see what personnel they had on the field, then he called a timeout to switch the play. I think he should've said until the play clock counted down a bit more, but whatevs.
this whatevs right here cost us the game. Absolutely no reason to give them the ball with any time left unless we ran the ball in on 1st down. We had 3 TOs, and a guaranteed FG to tie the game even if we didn't score. You have to force them to call their TOs.
Yup told my friends if we don't run in after that TO we're going to lose.
You leave Rivers 1:30 with 2 timeouts, without our 2 pass rushers. Got to be smarter than that. I mean it's not like JC was ineffective. Run the damn ball, worst you can do is force SD to call timeouts and tie it up.
We do that and we're in the drivers seat for Home Field. Which is KEY to our playoff success!
I wish he'd have let the clock run down before the time out for sure.. but that was only 16 seconds! So that little mistake doesn't for certain change the outcome. Chargers snapped their TD play at 31 seconds left.
As for running the ball just to burn time.. we were TRAILING and a score is not some guarantee. Chargers aren't for certain calling time out with us trailing/them LEADING still even if we do run the ball so trying to get them to use time outs seems pretty doubtful. It would have burned clock.. and it would have burned a down. We needed to score so I'm not throwing away
This loss is on the defense. If folks wanna include Sutton in that a bit, fine. Reid though.. for the time out... no, just no. The defense failed when they allowed a 60 yard TD with FORTY of it after the catch! The defense failed when Demps took a crap angle on his deep help for Smith and completely took himself out of the play to allow a game winning TD. Credit Rivers too.. cause even with Demps mistake Smith had solid coverage.. that was a great throw!
We've seen it on a number of deep throws this year and it needs to be addressed. Safety play over the top has been a problem all year.
That all said it was great to see the offense and Alex match Rivers in a shootout. I know some have lacked confidence (radio, here, or on AP) in Alex's ability to do that but he clearly had before (playoffs against Brees) and you could tell the offense was getting close to turning the corner (all the drops and execution mistakes) and carrying their side of the weight.
This team (with Hali and Houston back) will be a tough matchup for anyone!
With Denver losing.. we are still in control of our season. Beat Denver!
The D was terrible yesterday no doubt about it, but the way the game played out, calling a TO AND throwing the ball is stupid. We had 3 downs, 3 TOs from the 5 yards line and JC had been running better than any other game this year at that point. Throwing the ball was stupid. Throwing the ball risked an INT, and incompletion, and if we were successfull then they get both their TOs and 1:20 on the clock. The way our defense played and the fact that both of our stud pass rushers out dictates that situational awareness tells you to run the ball on first down. You get in, great, but if you don't, you run off all that clock or force them to call a TO, and if they call even 1 TO then they don't have the tone they used on the Berry sack, how much difference does that 15 seconds make then? Any way you look at it, calling a TO with 15 seconds left on the play clock, and then choosing to throw the ball both cost us the game. Yes, the D SHOULD have held, but they hadn't been doing their job all game and our 2 best players for that situation couldn't even play. This loss is 100% on Andy Reid for his handling of the clock in that situation.
Agree 100%

Clearly I'm quite alone in siding with Andy here but that's ok. Some things I disagree with mentioned in the counter arguments..
The preferring of clock killing and overtime to 4 point lead and 80ish seconds of defense at home.
The assumption that a FG was for sure
The assumption that in tight like we were (1st and goal from the 5) we score on the ground for sure after last weeks failure on 3 straight runs from the 1 yard line.
I feel like if we didn't score.. went to OT.. and lost then everyone would be saying how the hell could we settle for a FG there with a chance to win the game. Win it or lose it on 4 downs from the 5 and screw OT! Ya know what though.. I'd actually be fine with that too. The difference for me vs others here is my mindset was SCORE! I don't care what down.. I don't care the time.. and I refuse to get cute with burning time and assume we get in or we just go win it in OT!
To me that was priority numero uno! Then we'll deal with whatever time/situation is left. Just assuming a FG is a sure things is crazy IMO too! Was it for sure against Oakland in 2011 Christmas eve?? Oh that's right.. it wasn't! It was blocked.. twice! And then we LOST in OT at home and lost the division as well.
JUST SCORE!!!! That was my absolute mindset! C'mon Alex.. get them in!
Let's remember something else here.. the PREVIOUS POSSESSION for the Chargers... we forced a PUNT! We had a chance to take the lead on that drive because we had just played DEFENSE!
I just think folks are looking for ONE reason to blame the loss.. here.. here's one reason...
Phillip Rivers is really good! He made a pin point throw and exploited a coverage mistake (Demps) and fit a ball into a sweet window just beyond Sean Smith's hands.
Throw to score! Run to win!

How is giving the ball to our best player on 1st and goal from the 5, which guarantees that we either score, the clock runs 40 seconds (then we would have had 50 seconds, 2nd down and 2 TOs (time not a factor for us still) not the right thing to do? It isn't giving up, it isn't wasting a down, it's giving the ball to our best player who at that time was having his best game running the football as he's had all year. Andy has no defense in this situation. He actually said that he wanted as much time as possible to score!!! That is beyond stupid. We had 3 time outs. Time wasn't a factor in scoring for us and he acted like it was. It cost us the game, end of story.
When was the last time an NFL kicker missed inside 30 yards, arrowhead? Tynes in the playoff game is the last I can remember.
You also have to be aware that our defense isn't going to be the same without Hali and Houston, and you have to not even give Rivers a chance if at all possible.
How can you assume the way our offense played the whole 2nd half, plus the way we were running that we wouldn't get in on 3 plays? I think there's a good chance that we score running on 1st down, and had that happened I could have lived with losing because at least we did the right thing, but we didn't, and it may cost us the division. This decision wasn't trivial, let me repeat: IT MAY COST US THE DIVISION.
Arrowhead, you may have not been concerned about time, obviously Andy wasn't, but you should have, and he should have. It makes the difference between winning and losing sometimes. You can't in hindsight say that well we shouldn't have allowed so many points on D yada yada yada. The way the game played out you have to run the clock down farther in that situation. end of story, really no defending it.

But you CAN say in hindsight that we shouldn't have left so much time because they eventually scored with it? How is that fair?
Regarding your "best player argument". I'm not arguing right thing to do wrong thing to do with the play call really.
My point is truly I don't care how they scored, just SCORE!
That was job #1 above every single other consideration. We were trailing.. SCORE!
If they had handed it to Charles and he rumbles in for a TD.. great! My only point about this HINDSIGHT argument is you or others saying these things are a given. That we WILL score or we WILL just kick a FG and we WILL go to OT. Last week in Denver.. we didnt score! Two years ago against Oakland.. the field goal got blocked TWICE. These things happen. It doesn't matter how rare or often. I could argue it could and should be rare that we lose to a complete no name WR on a diving catch with 24 seconds to go after they drive nearly 80 yards.
Here... lets just say it all works out the way you've described as doing it the RIGHT way and we DO go to OT.. and then SD gets the ball first and marches and scores a TD anyway! As you already stated you'd be fine with it because at least we played it out correctly. Cause you'd be fine with the choices made. Really? You don't think you or anyone would be saying "what was that conservative crap? Alex Smith is throwing at will today and Andy doesn't at least TRY and throw the ball at all?"
Really? Maybe you wouldn't be.. but tell me there wouldn't be a whole other group on the radio, or here, or AP, or wherever.. second guessing and calling Andy too conservative now! He's damned no matter what happens by some group simply because it didn't work out! Simply because we lost.
See... my point here overall is THEY BEAT US.. the CHARGERS. They executed their final drive better than we executed on defense. Why do we need one villain in each and every loss to point our fingers at?
I'm gonna say it again cause you didn't comment on it in your last post. We are ONLY in position to go for the TD to take the LEAD because the DEFENSE you don't want to trust to even TRY and defend 80 yards at home with a lead.. had just FORCED A PUNT to get us the ball back!
Trailing and under the 2 minute warning.. well under for that matter. First and goal from the 5 yard line. They had one job before ANYTHING ELSE matters in this lone fans opinion..
Throw to score! Run to win!

Again, for the game, 38 passes to 18 runs. I'm not talking just the last drive, but our last 3 where we didn't run enough. IIRC we gave them the ball 3 times with less than 10min on the play clock. Just one extra run per drive would have probably not given them enough time to make that last score, and this was in a game where we were consistently getting 5-6 YPC.
You can almost never boil a loss down to just one play or series of plays, but rather on a broader evaluation. All things considered, the mistake was the run pass balance in the 4th quarter, magnified by the same failure on the last set of plays.
And of course 3 more run plays would not guarantee us a victory, but it would have increased our chances greatly. You know AH86, "throw to score, run to win."

Jesus, and didn't Andy just say after the Denver game that he feels like our team is best at a 50/50 run/pass split?
Though I don't think our offense was the problem it all, I think most of the problems this game were on the defensive end of the ball.
Sigbet with El Ramster; OKC wins title = I win. IND wins title = he wins.

are you seriously talking about blocked FGs on what amounts to an extra point? The blocked FGs in Oakland have no bearing on Succop making an extra point. Give me a break, man. I still love Andy, but this decision is not defendable. You can't even really say that a pass is our best play in that scenario (regardless of the fact that Bowe made an amazing catch). Jamaal Charles is by far our best player. I'd say you generally want him getting the ball on most 1st and goals from the 5.
Do you really think that giving the ball to Jamaal 3 times considering how we ran all 2nd half that he wouldn't get in?
Also, nobody is handcuffing 3 runs in, once you run on 1st, you run off 40 and you're at 40ish seconds on the clock. That is a MAJOR MAJOR difference for them, and we still have at least one TO and 2 downs to play with which you can then choose to throw on, again, IF you don't get in on the first play (which I honestly think is very likely)
I won't be responding again on this topic, not because I don't like what you have to say or because I'm exasperated or anything, but because I feel that my stance is clear and it doesn't need to be bothered repeating again. Let's go beat Denver.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/1/2013 (1637 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
"It is going to happen. There is no doubt about it, we want the amalgamations and the boundaries in place for the next election in 2014. It's not if, it's not maybe, it's absolutely."
— Local Government Minister Ron Lemieux, November 2012
A showdown is brewing between the Selinger government and a growing chorus of rural leaders who are balking at a provincial edict that small municipalities must either amalgamate on their own or be forced to do so.
Last November, many small municipalities across southern Manitoba were caught off guard after the Selinger government said in its throne speech that RMs with a population of less than 1,000 residents will be asked to amalgamate with their neighbours in order to reach the number that represents the legal threshold for a local government under provincial law.
Of Manitoba's 196 municipal governments, about 92 fail to meet the legal threshold of 1,000 persons.
The province argues that small municipal governments such as Waskada (200), or the RMs of Arthur (413) and Brenda (469) here in Westman, are too small to apply successfully for certain provincial and federal programs.
Back in 2011, the Sun reported that some municipalities had been forced to spend 50 per cent of their budgets on administration. At the same time, as much as $12 million worth of gasoline tax revenue was being left unspent because small RMs did not have the funds to pay for the required yearly financial statements.
But at that point, Lemieux was not pushing for amalgamations. Instead, he said he preferred that municipalities first look at shared services agreements such as a shared administrator, or other infrastructure services. Why the government's tone changed is not entirely clear, which is why the province's edict came as such a surprise last November.
Since that announcement, several municipalities have held public meetings in western Manitoba in an attempt to discern constituency feelings on possible amalgamations. Municipalities have until the end of the month to advise the province of their intentions.
But if the early verdict is any indication, rural Manitoba is not in any mood to take marching orders from the province.
Earlier this month, RM of Blanshard Reeve Brent Fortune issued a letter to the Sun that outlined a meeting between 10 municipal corporations and Riding Mountain Progressive Conservative MLA Leanne Rowat, which occurred on Jan. 10.
The municipalities included the RMs of Blanshard, Daly, Hamiota, Harrison, Miniota, Saskatchewan, Strathclair and Woodworth, as well as the towns of Hamiota and Rapid City.
"With much discussion on this subject, all municipalities at the meeting were unanimously opposed to forced amalgamations," Fortune wrote. "We, as municipal officials cannot see any benefits to amalgamation and our ratepayers and residents should be the people to tell elected councils on which direction they should proceed."
He also called upon all municipalities that are in opposition to the forced amalgamations to "stand united" against the province.
Then over the weekend, the Winnipeg Free Press published another article on the subject — the RM of Victoria Beach, at the same time one of the smallest and richest municipalities in the province, wants to be exempt from the government edict.
We don't blame municipal leaders for being angry. The province's push for integration was never discussed with the municipalities, nor with the Association of Manitoba Municipalities. There simply was no warning.
The NDP's political base is Winnipeg, not rural Manitoba, though much of the criticism levelled at the government comes from outside the Perimeter Highway. By forcing amalgamations, the NDP can silence a great number of their most vocal critics and further cripple the AMM all in one fell swoop — and do so with impunity.
While the NDP can expect a fight on its hands, at the end of the day, it's a fight the Selinger government expects to win.

COLUMBUS -- Ashley Pugh, an aeronautical engineering major, was recognized at the NASA Ames Research Center annual Honor Awards Ceremony as a recipient of the Group Achievement Award.
The award recognizes her work as an intern on the NASA team with the second generation Large Civil Tilt Rotor test in the Vertical Motion Simulator (LCTR2), a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
Pugh is a 2008 graduate of Newcomerstown High School and the daughter of Glenn Pugh and Kelly Watson of Newcomerstown.
She is a student at The Ohio State University.
Pugh applied online for internships with NASA before the beginning of her junior year and worked as an intern winter break 2010 through spring break 2011.
She then returned as a senior intern for the summer of 2011 to assist with the LCTR2 testing.
A total of nine test pilots from industry and military tested the LCTR2 and evaluated the performance of the aircraft.
Pugh's job was to keep the team organized and on task.
Pugh said her opportunity with NASA was an "experience of a lifetime" and the value of doing undergraduate research is "indescribable."
She said she was excited when she was notified about the award, and immediately forwarded the email to her parents and best friend.

Every programmer shall have two monitors - I disagree
Two monitors? How many USERS/CLIENTS do you know that have two monitors? I deal with a partner who uses two monitors regularly. The result? A bloody pain in the butt every time I try to support them.
I agree - it's cool, it's geeky but it's NOT THE NORMAL ENVIRONMENT THAT USERS SUFFER WITH.
Yes, I said it - SUFFER - users SUFFER with their hardware. Fast - developers need it, comfortable - absolutely - but at least deal with reality.
I remember when Calvin spoke about his notebook in fairly "obvious" terms (not a slight against Calvin, more against the norm) - 4 GB RAM, this was back at the 2002-03 Devcon. Hello? His comment, I remember, ("not that much improved" - or something similar) drew groans from the crowd.
I agree - spoil your developers - but they still need to sit in the world of user reality.

Not sure we are talking about the same thing. You taklk about clients. I talk about developers. I do believe that developers (and advanced users if you want to talk about clients), are more productive with two monitors.
The extra real estate is very helpful when you need to have several windows ipopened. I can see code at the same time I have the debugger open while a I'm running a program step-by-step. I can see the code, I can see the output on the program's interface and I can see many windows open in the IDE (properties, variables, whatever).
Works for me in VFP, and in VS2005.
It is also very helpful when I have MS-Outlook open at the same time I'm using a text editor, or -- you get the point.

I realize you were talking about developers - my point is that when developers get two monitors, they have immediately stepped out of the zone of "understanding" what their end users will work with.
I do see the benefit - but I think the danger is where one starts to think everyone has the same thing.
Now then, a larger wide-screen monitor - hmmm...
I'm all about the user experience and I find having too many bells and whistles on my own machines - can then cause possible bad assumptions as to what "regular people" work with.
Of course, I've been proven wrong before...
- September 19, 2006 at 7:32 AM
Andrew, I think having a wide screen monitor, as you seem to be lusting after in your comment to Alex, would give you more of a disconnect from the average user than the typical dual monitor setup would. Ahh, "geek lust" - some people would never understand. 8-)
Anyway, the dual monitor setup doesn't "stretch" the screen across the two monitors, it just provides more area to work on. So you still have a representation of what your average user/client is working with - on one of the monitors.
As an analogy, imagine you have the blueprints for your new house laying on your 30" x 60" desk. After you get tired of flipping back and forth between different detail pages, you set a table of the same size next to your desk. Now you can spread out your blueprints and look at them side by side. Having the extra table doesn't stretch the blueprints, it just provides more area to spread out. And you can still understand what your user/client is using to look at his blueprints.
I've been using dual monitor setup for nearly two years. Some of my users also have dual monitors, some don't. And there hasn't been any loss of understanding - just a lot of "monitor envy". 8-)

Boy, it sounds like I'm going to be eating my words and just admit it - I don't have two monitors but I've heard enough about it now to say "hmmm - maybe it's time"

Jason Bailey filed a lawsuit against the Anaheim Ducks alleging he was subjected to anti-Semitic remarks when he was a prospect playing for their farm team in Bakersfield (Calif.)
The lawsuit filed in Orange County Superior Court claims there was religious discrimination and failure to prevent harassment.
Bailey contends that coach Marty Raymond said that Jews "only care about money" and assistant coach Mark Pederson said "oh, I got a (Facebook) friend request from a dirty Jew."
Bailey's attorney Keith Fink told FanHouse that "what shocks me is the callous indifference that management and ownership showed when confronted with this situation. They knew what the coaches did was wrong, but they failed to stand up and do the right thing for Bailey and his family."
Bailey now plays in the Ottawa Senators farm system.

Gov. Jay Nixon today signed House Bill 184 and House Bill 196 which implement Missouri Works, a comprehensive strategy to support economic growth and create career opportunities for Missourians.
"From Day One, my top priorities have been creating jobs and moving our economy forward. Streamlining and strengthening our economic development tools will help employers in the Show-Me State create more jobs and ensure that our workforce has the skills they need to compete and win in a global economy," Gov. Nixon said. "I am pleased that the General Assembly answered my call to address this issue and worked in a bipartisan fashion to get this legislation to my desk. Missouri Works will help all employers, from our largest industries to the family-owned businesses along Main Street, succeed, hire and grow."
Missouri Works consolidates Missouri's four existing business development incentives into a single, business-friendly program with a uniform set of definitions and a streamlined application process to cut through red tape. The Governor called for streamlining Missouri's economic incentive programs in his 2013 State of the State Address earlier this year. Missouri Works also improves on existing programs by enabling more small businesses and businesses in rural areas to participate and providing targeted benefits to existing Missouri businesses.
Missouri Works also consolidates Missouri's workforce training programs into a single, business friendly program that is more closely aligned with the State's other economic development programs. It also targets workforce development resources more efficiently toward job placement and training for job-seekers.
"Ensuring that our workforce has the skills they need to stay competitive is critical to attracting the jobs of the future and growing our economy," Gov. Nixon said. "That's why my administration has dramatically increased our targeted investments in worker training. Missouri Works makes sure that job training remains an important component of our economic growth strategy."
Missouri Works implements recommendations of the Governor's Strategic Initiative for Economic Growth, an effort that engaged 600 business, education and labor leaders from across Missouri to develop a comprehensive strategy to transform the state's economy. The Missouri Tax Credit Review Commission also recommended improving Missouri's existing economic development incentives by consolidating them into a single, business-friendly program designed to create jobs and encourage capital investment, while maintaining a positive return on investment.
