John Williams, PhD
Associate Professor
Dana Hall 239
PhD Indiana University | BS Rose-Hulman Institution
My academic career started in Complex Variables, in particular Univalent Function Theory. I was interested in the geometry of the omitted set of certain extreme univalent functions defined on the exterior of the unit disk. The equivalent problem on the interior of the unit disk, the Bieberbach conjecture was solved just when I graduated from Indiana University but the problem on the exterior remains unsolved. Not only unsolved but without a good conjecture. I remain interested in the problem and keep up with the new results in this area. My current interests is in the use of technology in pedagogy. That includes both student centered technology such as graphing calculators, CAS and online homework systems to presentation technology such as clickers and chalkless lectures. I see that most students learn in a way that is different than my peers did thirty years ago and I feel an obligation to adapt my teaching to their learning styles. The ability to illuminate complex mathematical ideas with technology is a game changer. The idea that all our students carry a full computer algebra system in their hand changes the focus of education. When students graduate, they will access to even more technology and our job in academia is to prepare them for a life of learning.

Ford City woman overcomes serious injuries to earn college degree
Bethany Frerotte is proof that dreams and goals do not have to be abandoned when life deals you a terrible blow. It is possible to survive, to succeed, and, like Frerotte, to excel.
Frerotte received her bachelor of arts degree on Saturday from Carlow University in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh.
This accomplishment is more than a total of grades earned over the past three years. It is more than the distinction of earning high honors in her studies. It is a victory over an injury that could have kept her out of school entirely.
"I want to help other brain injury survivors realize that they, too, can achieve," Bethany says. "They just have to find their own way."
The daughter of Bruce and Deborah Frerotte of Greenville and formerly of Ford City, Bethany was living and working in San Francisco when her life took a treacherous turn.
While in Utah, visiting family, Frerotte was in a serious motor vehicle accident. She was hospitalized with numerous injuries, including a broken neck and collapsed lung.
The head trauma Frerotte sustained would send her into a coma for seven weeks.
Although she spent four months in the acute care hospital, Frerotte has no recollection of her experiences there.
She was then transferred to a second facility, primarily for long-term care.
"This is where I kept falling out of bed," she says, "so, they took the bed away and put the mattress on the floor."
This furniture rearrangement achieved its goal of safe sleeping and is still practiced at times, depending on the environment.
Frerotte headed east after a third round of treatment in a rehab hospital and then she came back to Pennsylvania.
Many more months would be spent in rehabilitation — physical, occupational and speech therapies, but it was found that travel from Greenville to her medical providers in Pittsburgh was not realistic.
"Gram's", the Ford City home of maternal grandmother, Beuhlah Mitchell, became Bethany's base of operations.
"She's come a long, long way," says Gram. "I'm just so proud of her."
As Frerotte's stamina and overall function improved, she adjusted her goals, finding new challenges.
She ultimately returned to the classroom, taking a few courses at IUP Northpointe, and succeeding.
"I went part time for a year," she says. "I got A's in those classes and decided that maybe I could complete my undergraduate degree."
She could and she did.
Living on campus for three years as a full-time student, Frerotte channeled her energies into her studies.
"I was able to have my own room in the dorm, which was convenient," Frerotte explains. "Some of my classes were just several doors away."
Campus life agreed with this non-traditional student, but was not without its non-traditional challenges.
Although she has many friends, meeting people and developing those friendships were difficult at times. "I wouldn't remember faces," she says.
Accepting the fruits of her labors, especially in art, also is difficult.
"I'm not the artist I used to be. I would spend three times as long on an art project and it would end up looking like a child's." Frerotte goes on, "I'm more comfortable in my art making skills now."
Other issues such as high-maintenance hair and shaky gait were more easily remedied with simple solutions ' a short haircut, quality shoes and a cane as needed when on unfamiliar turf. Otherwise, Frerotte now navigates the Carlow campus without devices.
Frerotte plans to take some time post-graduation to relax, then, it's off and running on more unfamiliar turf, which will include, she thinks, another college campus for graduate work in art therapy.
No further speculation is needed, as Bethany's Gram says: "If she wants it, she's going to do it. She's an amazing girl."

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
It sounds like you have done a lot to help your daughter and the fact that you are there for her means a lot. I have to agree, helping her financially, unless she is trying to help herself already, is not going to do anything but make her situation worse. She will come to depend on you for help and if you want her to act independently, this will only prevent her from doing so.
It is natural instinct for parents to want the best for their children and to see them do well in life. You desire to help your daughter is wonderful and you have done a lot to be there for her. However, she may just need to be let on her own so she can decide how to handle her own problems. She knows you are there for her, so she most likely would never let things get very bad. But at her age, she may just be slow to get her life in order or she may just be trying to figure things out. If she is lacking gratitude, society will soon let her know that she can't get what she needs or wants if she acts certain ways.
If you suspect Bipolar disorder, you can speak with her about it and encourage her to see her doctor. If she has no insurance, she can go to the local community mental health center for an evaluation and treatment. They will see her regardless of her financial ability to pay. They will also help her apply for assistance and even possibly provide job assistance through a referral. Here is a link to a list of symptoms of Bi polar disorder. You can look them over to see if you feel your daughter has some of the symptoms.
Try to keep in contact with your daughter on a regular basis. Don't necessarily bring up her situation every time you speak with her. That will only encourage her to keep her problems to herself and become defensive. Talk with her about life in general, what is new with you and her father, any siblings she has and other life events. Let her talk with you about anything she wants to and reserve any judgment. The goal is for her to learn to open up more and talk with you.
You may want to encourage her to come home for special events and holidays. Buy her the tickets if you can. That way, you at least get some face to face contact and a chance to be sure she is ok. She gets to be home and taken care of for a bit.
Hopefully, these suggestions will help her get on the road to helping herself.
I hope this has helped,
I understand what you are saying. It does sound like you have tried everything you could try. Encouraging her to seek out therapy without taking the medication might be an option. But she needs to believe herself that she has a problem so she is motivated to attend sessions and help herself. If she will do so, that will help considerably.
Although there is really no correct things you can say to make someone see they need help, you can continue, as you have done, being supportive and offering to help her. Let her know what you told me, that you are seeing her lack of self worth and other symptoms and you want to help. Suggest therapy without the medication, just someone to talk to. Offer to go with her if you feel she would be ok with that.
The law is such that you cannot force someone to get help unless they say they want to hurt themselves or someone else. So unless your daughter is at that point, you are doing exactly what you need to be doing to help her.

Sunday celebration after end credits roll
Paying tribute

Rice, Laurie Oakes, Jim Waley and Peter Meakin yesterday.

A WHO'S who of television journalism gathered at the Union Hotel in North Sydney to pay tribute to Channel Nine's axed Sunday program yesterday, among them Ray Martin, who called the decision "dopey".
The former Channel Nine luminary said it indicated the network was not serious about news and current affairs. The final program went to air yesterday.
Among those at the gathering were Sunday presenters Ellen Fanning and Laurie Oakes, former 60 Minutes reporters Charles Wooley and Jennifer Byrne, and Nine's news and current affairs director, John Westacott, who announced last month that the decision to close both Sunday and Nightline was a financial one.
But Martin said that walking away from the 27-year-old program indicated the people who ran the station did not know television.
"[It says] we're not serious about news and current affairs. If you want your serious stuff go to the ABC," he said.
Martin said it was a branding issue, and that when people thought of Channel Nine, they thought of news and current affairs. "Sunday is part of the Nine brand so you can't just look at the bottom line.
"Of course you have to make money, but how do you put a price on quality? I think, from a business point of view, it's dopey, really dopey," he said.
"The perception is that we're not serious about news and current affairs. Maybe that doesn't fit the business strategy, that's fine, but don't whinge when we don't get the ratings we want. Don't whinge when the station's not worth the kind of money it should be worth. They're killing the golden goose."
Jim Waley, who presented the program for two decades, said he thought that Australia would regret that it was no longer on air. "How do you replace Sunday?" he said. "I'm not sure you can."
While he stressed that management was caught between a rock and a hard place, Waley said he did not believe axing Sunday would solve Nine's problems, and hoped there would be room for a similar program in future.

The Australian Turf Club is selling 12 hectares of land at Warwick Farm in Sydney's south west.
Industry sources estimate the vacant freehold land will fetch between $25 million and $30 million.
"This is a prime piece of real estate in the heart of Sydney's south-west growth corridor," Australian Turf Club chief executive Darren Pearce said. "We feel that it's time for the club to realise the value of this land for the benefit of Sydney racing."
The ATC plans to put the sale proceeds towards its $150 million redevelopment of Sydney's Royal Randwick Racecourse. Construction at Randwick is due for completion in April 2013.
It is also spending $24 million on a masterplan redevelopment of Rosehill Gardens and Warwick Farm.
The site at Coopers Paddock, Warwick Farm, fronts Governor Macquarie Drive and is close to the Hume Highway, M5 and M7 motorways. It was rezoned for general industrial use in August.
The property is being marketed by Knight Frank and Savills through an expressions of interest campaign closing on November 15.
Savills director, industrial NSW, Darren Curry, said there was a limited supply of development land in Warwick Farm.
As part of the rezoning process, a small portion of the site was designated for public recreation with the land to be dedicated to the local council. The site is subject to a voluntary planning agreement with work estimated at about $3.7 million. The developer must manage the dedicated land for three years under the VPA.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Hotel quest made a reservation one and a half years ago, but says he did not make it and that he was not there. He wants $528 money back. We have 45 days any type of claim policy. Without him making this reservation, we would not have the info. of his credit card and expiration date. Am I obligated to give him money back? Why he is making a claim now and not sooner? We still have his reservation in our system, but we do not have any longer copy of his receipt. How should I handle the situation?
LOL Ignore him, he should have reversed the charges on the credit card. Let him sue you, if that is what he is going to do. I think it is all bs.
My offices does represent people from Avvo if they contact me but only in the Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside County in Southern California. The answers I give here are not meant to create an attorney client relationship. When accepting clients I conduct interviews face to face and they often take 30 minutes or more. I approach trials and issues from a legal and common sense approach, This is how the majority of judges I have appeared before in 40 years also make decisions. I do not intend by my advice to enter an attorney client relationship and in most cases advise to obtain legal representation. Sometimes if you can not afford it a consultation or limited scope representation is available. As an experienced attorney I can tell you, judges can be impatient, hate emotional arguments and over exagerations or lies. A brief outline of the problems and desired solutions is often best and I d0 limited scope representations advise clients on how to proceed at time of hearing or trial and my fees are considerably less when I do not appear in court as it takes much less of my time.Ask a similar question

Dontrelle Willis, on handing out eight walks while allowing six runs in 3.2 innings Sunday:
Honestly, today was just unacceptable. I can't put my team in that type of hole. Can't beat anybody pitching like that. It's very tough to pitch when you're in a jam every inning. I'm going to have to finally do something, or somebody else is going to have to go out there to help this ball club win. Because I just can't go out there and do that. You can't defend a walk.
I appreciate Skip giving me the leeway to go out there every time. Every time he gives me leeway, I go one step forward and two steps back. It's just unacceptable, and I'm disappointed in myself the way I played today. Just throwing the ball and making them hit it. I don't care what corner it is. Just go out there and establish that I can throw the ball over the plate.
Struggling to throw strikes is nothing new for Willis, but he initially showed some signs of potentially getting over the problem after rejoining the Tigers' rotation last month. However, over his last three starts Willis has walked 18 batters in 11 innings and is sadly looking like as big a mess as ever.
Jeremy Bonderman was quickly sent back to the disabled list last week after struggling in his season debut, but as Willis notes in the above quote manager Jim Leyland has been very patient with him. So far, at least. While the Tigers are up three games in what is a weak AL Central, they can't afford to keep trotting Willis out there to implode every fifth day and he might be one more rough outing from being replaced by Zach Miner.
Rick Ankiel blazed a trail for young left-handed pitchers who suddenly can't throw strikes by becoming a full-time outfielder and some people are calling for the Tigers to make the same switch with Willis. Of course, while Willis' career .233/.279/.358 line is really good for a pitcher it's also really bad for an outfielder.
Plus, even if Willis were to follow in Ankiel's footsteps by significantly boosting his offense after becoming a full-time hitter the Ankiel path also included multiple seasons between pitching in the majors and hitting in the majors. Ankiel had his Willis-like struggles in 2001 with another brief stint as a pitcher in 2004 and became a starting outfielder in 2007. Willis is already 27 years old, so he doesn't really have that kind of time.

Climate Change Is A Serious Issue Of Human Rights': Mary Robinson
By Sophie Yeo
23 September 2013
Responding to Climate Change
Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland, speaks to RTCC about climate justice, the UN, and why climate skeptics make her angry
Pic: Flickr / Open Government Partnership
Climate justice is a phrase which eludes a neat definition.
Morally laden and politically controversial, it is used interchangeably to discuss the law, politics and ethics of climate change. Even the most seasoned negotiators may find themselves promoting one of its many meanings over another.
For Mary Robinson, these various meanings are not disconnected concepts, but a jigsaw of related ideas that together create a comprehensive picture of how best to tackle one of the world's greatest problems: When we're talking about climate change, the issue of justice starts with injustice, she says.
A barrister, a politician, and a top official in the UN, Robinson, now 69, remains best known as the first female president of Ireland a largely ceremonial role she occupied between 1990 and 1997 through which she strove to influence through the moral authority it bestowed on her.
She admits that moral leadership continues to fascinate her, and is something she continues to exercise since became a member of the Elders in 2007, a group of global leaders, brought together by Nelson Mandela, who work together to provide guidance on peace making and human rights.
She was led to the climate debate, she says, not as a scientist or even as an environmentalist, but through her campaign work on human rights.
I was very struck by the fact that the impacts of climate change are undermining a whole range of human rights: rights to food, safe water and health and education, she says.
But it is also displacing people, which is very likely to cause not just human distress but potentially conflict. So for me it's a very, very serious issue of human rights.
Throughout her career, Robinson has taken many approaches to the fight against injustice. Not satisfied to rely on the influence she wields through the UN, she has also sought to encourage leadership at a grassroots level, and established the Mary Robinson Foundation Climate Justice, through which she promotes action on a more direct scale than is possible through her other roles.
There's good grassroots leadership if only we'd listen to it, she says. They are the resilient experts on how to cope with the increasing negative impacts of climate change.
I'm very struck by the resilience of local communities and the local knowledge that is used, but they don't have insurance, and the unpredictability is really hurting.
As a lawyer, trained in her teens and early twenties at Trinity College Dublin and Harvard Law School , she is now advocating for a strong legal framework through which climate policy can be enforced.
The Mary Robinson Foundation has joined forces with the World Resources Institute to put together a declaration on climate change to be published during the week of the United National General Assembly, highlighting issues that need to be addressed to bring about climate justice.
One aspect of the declaration that she says she is particularly pleased about is that it highlights the importance of rule of law.
There is a need for a strong legal framework to ensure transparency, credibility and effective enforcement of climate and related policy. We firmly believe that legal systems need to protect the most vulnerable, she says.
As former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Robinson has learnt from experience how to work the system at an international level, and is hopeful that this declaration, put together by former heads of state, climate experts and also representatives of social communities and academia, will prevent the issue of climate justice being drowned out by other concerns.
She is passionate about the overtly political issue of equity, which is becoming ever more prominent at high level negotiations.
Discussions of equity, or the issue of who should foot the bill for climate change, are particularly prone to slipping into emotive debate, with the wrangling over how the developed countries can best make amends for their historical responsibility for climate change having held up concrete action for years.
But enshrining principles of justice into mutually satisfying financial arrangements is always going to be a troublesome task, and it doesn't help that the dryly worded UNFCCC definition common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities is frustratingly vague, leaving open for interpretation some of the most controversial decisions about what justice' actually means.
The difficulties embedded in this definition makes talking about the equity issue problematic, says Robinson.
Developed countries, for instance, who are looking to avoid donating vast sums to other countries, can promote the capability' aspect of equity over their own responsibility', suggesting that any country with the ability to do so should take the flak for reducing their own emissions regardless of their historical responsibility for the problem.
Developing economies such as China , on the other hand, will focus on their right to use fossil fuels to develop in the present as the UK and the US have done in the past, and that it is therefore up to these countries to enable them to do so.
Meanwhile, in places such as Gambia , where emissions remain low but climate impacts are already severe, the endless quarrelling over equity can seem little more than a frustrating failure to act.
A practical approach
Despite her concern for the damage already being done to the most vulnerable countries, Robinson is unwilling to let the emotional nature of the problem interfere with her pursuit of the most effective solution. Indeed, she says that her response to climate change in general stems more from emotional intelligence than emotion itself.
In the clipped tones of a veteran politician, she says: Now the emerging countries are responsible for a greater part of the emissions, and developing countries generally emit more than the developed world, so we've got a new kind of responsibility, and that's why I think you can get locked in to the historic responsibility in an unrealistic way.
But, she adds: There has to be an acknowledgement of the historic responsibility before people fully appreciate it.
It has to be acknowledged, and it has to be addressed in particular by greater commitments by those countries that benefited in their economic development from fossil fuels that's the reality.
Therefore they have to commit to more serious reductions of emissions because they're in a position to move more rapidly towards renewable energy.
The only time when her pragmatic breed of stoicism slips is when the subject of climate deniers arises. It is hard to be patient with skeptics, she says, because of the corrupt way in which much of it is funded by fossil fuel lobbies.
That makes me angry because they're playing with the future of people in the world, and it's an injustice that it's hurting the poorest already and will hurt them most, she says.
So I do feel quite angry not just frustrated, quite angry at lobbying against the reality. Climate justice keeps faith with science and is based on acknowledging the importance of the true science on this.
Human rights
She left the UN as High Commissioner for Human Rights in 2002, but has since taken up the role of Special Envoy to the Great Lakes region of Africa, which encompasses the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda countries where conflict and climate stresses are putting human rights on the top of the agenda on the particular request of Ban Ki-moon.
In every country in the Great Lakes , she says, climate shocks are undermining food security, while the population just keeps on rising. But, she adds, the thought processes surrounding the two issues are still not as connected as they could be.
Governments have agreed in the context of the Human Rights Council that climate change is eroding and undermining the protection of human rights, but this has not been joined up to thinking in the context of the environmental and energy ministers who go to the climate conference, she says.
I believe we have to join that up more. That's where climate justice is helpful, because it's a link between climate change, development and human rights. We will be working strongly with the Human Rights Council over the coming year to make sure that voice is heard and that we have joined up thinking at government level.
United Nations
Is it possible to spend so many years in the UN and not be disillusioned by the system, which has so far failed to put a satisfying proposal on the table on how to cut global carbon emissions?
It's always frustrating, she says, and yet the UN has the value that all countries are involved in it, so I have to be patient with a very bureaucratic and sometimes unwieldy system and try to get results.
Plus, she adds, despite her emphasis on the virtues of grassroots leadership, she still firmly believes that the UN is key to getting the world back on track.
We can come together under the UN system if we are intelligent about what we want to do, that we want a fair robust climate agreement, she says, because we must have an agreement which commits countries to bring us below the 2C warming, which will mean a safe world for generations to come.
That's a huge responsibility and we cannot avoid it. We do need the climate agreement to reach that.
And the 21st Conference of Parties in Paris in 2015 an event which many look towards as the final deadline for putting a framework in place to reduce global carbon emissions is an unparalleled opportunity to should this responsibility, she says.
It's very rare to have a year like 2015, where the world faces two huge complementary agendas, she says, referring to the paradigm-shifting replacement of the Millennium Development Goals with a set of Sustainable Development Goals, along with the global commitment to come up with a legally binding agreement that will keep the world below 2C of warming, the temperature considered safe' by scientists.
I borrow the words of Desmond Tutu: I'm not an optimist, I'm a prisoner of hope, she says.
I'm a grandmother. I think a lot about my four grandchildren. They'll be in their forties by 2050 and they'll share the world with nine billion others. I want it to be a safer world than we're predicting at the moment. I want it to be a world where they can say at least when they got round to it in 2015 they took their responsibilities.
I don't want them to say how could they have been so selfish and so stupid that they didn't see the impacts on us and our children and grandchildren in the future? That's a preoccupation of mine.
If by the end of 2015 we have really accepted and understood our responsibilities then I think our grandchildren and their grandchildren will acknowledge that we helped them.

His name was William FitzErnest according to Wallop Family. The

An AR-15 giveaway was recently shut down by the folks at Facebook.
Pittsburgh Tactical Firearms owner Erik Lowry started the contest back in February. Months after the giveaway began, the social networking site has removed the fan page Lowry created for his business. The secondary page he put together was later removed as well.
The owner said the page was removed without any official notice from Facebook. Although he has attempted to contact the site regarding the removal, he told The Blaze that he still isn't sure why the AR-15 giveaway was shut down.
Lowry believes the trouble may have started with an article published on Vocativ. The website contacted Facebook about the giveaway, which reportedly violated the terms of service. A company spokesperson said Facebook was unaware of the situation.
The spokesperson explained:
"Our Ad Guidelines prohibit promotion of the sale of weapons and the Ad Guidelines apply to Pages with commercial content on them. Ads may not promote the sale or use of weapons, ammunition, or explosives. Most of these should be removed per our terms."
The AR-15 giveaway was later shut down as a result. Lowry explained that his business has decreased by roughly 40 percent because of Facebook's actions. At the time the page was removed, it had roughly 27,000 likes.
Although Facebook removed the second page the business owner created, he said he intends to keep making additional pages until the problem is resolved. Lowry added that Facebook has yet to respond to his appeal.
"I don't get it. No one has contacted us. It's just unbelievable. What's the point of an appeal?" he explained in an email to the Examiner. "We're not going to stop. Take away our page and we'll make another one. I want justice for everyone."
The Pittsburgh Tactical Firearms contest previously sparked controversy when it published the name of its winner on Facebook. Shortly after the announcement, the company received an email from the winner stating that constant harassment had forced him to close his account.
What do you think about the AR-15 giveaway being shut down by Facebook?

Study: Women Who Weigh Less Make More
Well, here's some depressing news; a study out of the Journal of Applied Psychology found that women who are very thin earn more than women who are average — by around $22,000. And women who are of average weight earn more than women who are "heavy" or "very heavy." Women who are "very heavy" make around $19,000 less than average-sized women, and "heavy" women make $9,000 less. So, that means thin women make an average of $40,000 more than "very heavy" women. Sigh … there's both a gender wage gap and a weight wage gap to contend with, I guess. [Time]

Westmoreland groups help schools fill funding gaps
When Latrobe-area residents wanted tech-savvy interactive whiteboards for their school district, the community-led Greater Latrobe Partners in Education Foundation leapt to the task, raising $226,000 to outfit every junior high classroom with 21st century technology.
The foundation is one of seven in Westmoreland County and about three dozen in the region that take a fundraising approach to help plug gaps as school districts struggle to balance budgets.
The trend is growing in Pennsylvania, but it's slower to catch on in the Pittsburgh region, said Bob New, president of the Pennsylvania Consortium of Education Foundations.
Of the state's 500 school districts, 240 have education foundations. They take an approach colleges have relied on for decades: Tap into the alumni base.
"We believe that public K-12 education should follow the college model," New said. "The sad part is, they have to find new revenue streams more than asking the government and taxpayers to support them. ... There's a financial crisis in public education."
School boards deal with daunting pension, health care and technology costs, he said, along with limits on how much they can hike taxes.
"Right now, school districts don't have this little bit of extra money," he said. "(Foundations are) providing programs and projects that the school district can no longer fund."
Foundations target businesses, parents, district staff and alumni to donate. Corporations can channel funds through the state's Earned Income Tax Credit Program.
New lauded work undertaken by the nonprofit benefiting Greater Latrobe School District.
The 2-year-old foundation awards two endowed scholarships, funds for summer enrichment programs and teacher grants, in addition to its capital campaign for larger projects, such as the whiteboard upgrades. Teacher grants have funded gym equipment, field trips and supplies for parent tutoring programs, director of development Jessica Golden said.
"Things that are above and beyond the operating budget — things like field trips," she said. "Those things have become a real challenge to maintain in today's environment."
The notion of convincing alumni to donate to their alma mater is so unprecedented that the district doesn't maintain records showing contact information for potential donors.
"It is a cultural shift to think about giving to your alma mater as you would a college or university," she said.
In its infancy, the Greensburg Salem Education Foundation began last year to provide "enriching opportunities for students" and "additional options" for teachers, said Anita Rometo, administrative liaison and board member to the association.
Teachers can apply for grants from the nonprofit, and the foundation plans to provide scholarships in the future. The first round of grants, which amounted to $3,500, funded programs throughout the district's grade levels.
A guidance counselor debuted a mentor program between high school students and fourth- and fifth-grade girls. An elementary classroom benefits from headphones, which allow readers to hear words read aloud as they follow along by sight. The high school mock trial team records members' speeches on an iPad to critique and improve their skills.
Private donors, including alumni, have donated to the projects. Foundation leaders are considering a singing competition to raise money.
"The items funded are things that would have had to fit into a budget or would have been done without. Some of (these) would be things that would typically be out of the normal realm for funding," Rometo said. "It's because of how tight the budgets are now. At one time there was discretionary money. There's less and less of that."
Norwin and Penn-Trafford school districts began foundations in the past few years.
The Norwin School District Community Foundation has given students more than $100,000 in scholarships and $7,800 in grants to teachers, foundation Executive Director Jonathan Szish said.
"It supports innovative programming that might not be funded otherwise through the school budget," Szish said. "Its overall mission is very noble: to support innovative educational programs and kind of be a bulwark in terms of ups and downs of funding."
At the Penn-Trafford Community Education Foundation, donations from local businesses, teacher and community members have increased during the past five years. Next, fundraisers will target alumni.
"We wanted to help offset the costs and help the district above and beyond. The district only spends so much money," said Penn-Trafford Superintendent Matt Harris, a foundation board member. "It's really benefited us financially."
New's state consortium helps foundations across Pennsylvania. Not all foundations are successful, and fledgling groups shouldn't expect immediate profits, he cautions.
"It's not a PTA, and it's not a booster club," he said. "It's a business. They have to treat it that way."

33.2. Hello World
Learn how to create and access nodes and relationships. For information on project setup, see Section 33.1, "Include Neo4j in your project".
Remember, from Section 2.1, "The Neo4j Graph Database", that a Neo4j graph consists of:
- Nodes that are connected by
- Relationships, with
- Properties on both nodes and relationships.
All relationships have a type.
For example, if the graph represents a social network, a relationship type could be
If a relationship of the type
KNOWS connects two nodes, that probably represents two people that know each other.
A lot of the semantics (that is the meaning) of a graph is encoded in the relationship types of the application.
And although relationships are directed they are equally well traversed regardless of which direction they are traversed.
The source code of this example is found here: EmbeddedNeo4j.java
Prepare the database
Relationship types can be created by using an
In this example we only need a single relationship type. This is how to
define it:
private static enum RelTypes implements RelationshipType { KNOWS }
We also prepare some variables to use:
GraphDatabaseService graphDb; Node firstNode; Node secondNode; Relationship relationship;
The next step is to start the database server. Note that if the directory given for the database doesn't already exist, it will be created.
graphDb = new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase( DB_PATH ); registerShutdownHook( graphDb );
Note that starting a database server is an expensive operation, so don't start up a new instance every time you need to interact with the database! The instance can be shared by multiple threads. Transactions are thread confined.
As seen, we register a shutdown hook that will make sure the database shuts down when the JVM exits. Now it's time to interact with the database.
Wrap operations in a transaction
All operations have to be performed in a transaction. This is a conscious design decision, since we believe transaction demarcation to be an important part of working with a real enterprise database. Now, transaction handling in Neo4j is very easy:
try ( Transaction tx = graphDb.beginTx() ) { // Database operations go here tx.success(); }
For more information on transactions, see Chapter 18, Transaction Management and Java API for Transaction.
For brevity, we do not spell out wrapping of operations in a transaction throughout the manual.
Create a small graph
Now, let's create a few nodes. The API is very intuitive. Feel free to have a look at the Neo4j Javadocs. They're included in the distribution, as well. Here's how to create a small graph consisting of two nodes, connected with one relationship and some properties:
firstNode = graphDb.createNode(); firstNode.setProperty( "message", "Hello, " ); secondNode = graphDb.createNode(); secondNode.setProperty( "message", "World!" ); relationship = firstNode.createRelationshipTo( secondNode, RelTypes.KNOWS ); relationship.setProperty( "message", "brave Neo4j " );
We now have a graph that looks like this:
Print the result
After we've created our graph, let's read from it and print the result.
System.out.print( firstNode.getProperty( "message" ) ); System.out.print( relationship.getProperty( "message" ) ); System.out.print( secondNode.getProperty( "message" ) );
Which will output:
Hello, brave Neo4j World!
Remove the data
In this case we'll remove the data before committing:
// let's remove the data firstNode.getSingleRelationship( RelTypes.KNOWS, Direction.OUTGOING ).delete(); firstNode.delete(); secondNode.delete();
Note that deleting a node which still has relationships when the transaction commits will fail. This is to make sure relationships always have a start node and an end node.
Shut down the database server
Finally, shut down the database server when the application finishes:

Hey guys,
To promote my website, I'm doing something where if you guys can get 1,000 visitors to my website for the month of June, I'll make a giant sample pack with 100 different samples of your request for free download exclusive to freesound users. If 20 people all go to my website, tell 10 of their friends to go on, and they all tell 5 of THEIR friends, that's 1,000 right there!
Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.
NOTE: I do not intend to be SPAMing, if this post violates forum rules or is considered...whatever it might be considered, please let me know I will remove it.
As far as I know, Freesound has no taken no stance on the area of commercial and non-commercial promotion. This place is rare in that I never see overt self-promotion by users. It's going to need addressing eventually. I'm not speaking of you, who I see as a considerate Freesounder, and it's perfectly reasonable to link to one's own website. It just brought up the idea of certain scenarios we can all easily imagine: pro sample producers putting up limited "sample" samples as promotion to commercial interests on other sites being linked to. In other words, using Freesound as an ad and traffic source.
My back isn't itchy. Good luck with your site.
It totally okay to put your sounds in here as a professional.
It is logical that you will put your URL in your profile.
If you're good and people want a specific sound that they can't find,
they will find their way to you or anyone else that can make or sell that sound.
Most professionals in here, simply post their leftovers, which are still quite good and interesting, without asking for anything or promoting their businesses. I personally find that more charming.
Good luck with your site!
My back isn't itchy and if it is I'll scratch it by myself as a professional
This is advertising and has no place in the requests forums.

Too right! I really don't want to know about GarageBand right now. If I did, I'd have a mac. So would the other 80+% of us.
I don't personally have an issue against your post or you, for that matter.
The fact that Freesound does not have a policy on self-promotion, as others pointed out, allows you to do this, so it is 'ok'.
As self-promotion goes, I think you have actually been politte and unnobtrusive. People may not like it, but you certainly have not been spamming.
Now, to be honest, you are more likely to get the traffic you want by posring some good samples and having a link to your site on your profile.
This will happen overtime, not overnight...
Good luck.

 Repository tools often need special control over how files in the workspace
 are managed. The workspace API includes special hooks that allow
 repository tools to reimplement certain methods, validate and veto
 file changes, and store synchronization state on resources. These
 facilities are generally well described in the Platform Plug-in Developer’s
 Guide, but here is a quick tour of special repository integration support
 in the workspace:

 * <tt>IFileModificationValidator</tt>. This hook is called when a
 file is about to be edited and immediately prior to a file being saved.
 This gives repository providers a chance to check out
 the file being changed or to veto the modification. A repository provider
 can supply a validator by overriding <tt>getFileModificationValidator</tt>
 on <tt>RepositoryProvider</tt>.

 * <tt>IMoveDeleteHook</tt>. This hook allows repository providers
 to reimplement the resource <tt>move</tt> and <tt>delete</tt>
 methods. This is used both for validation prior to move and deletion
 and for transferring version history when a resource is moved. This
 hook is supplied by overriding <tt>getMoveDeleteHook</tt> on
 <tt>RepositoryProvider</tt>.

 * <tt>TeamHook</tt>. The workspace API developers realized that the
 existing hook methods could not be extended without breaking API compatibility.
 To avoid an explosion of specialized hook methods, the developers decided to consolidate
 future team-integration hooks in a single place. This hook is currently
 used only for validating linked resource creation, but any future hooks that are
 added for team plug-ins will appear here.

 * <tt>ISynchronizer</tt>. This API associates synchronization information,
 such as file timestamps, with a resource. The synchronization information
 is represented as arbitrary bytes, so you can store whatever information
 you want, using the synchronizer. The workspace will take care of storing
 and persisting this information across sessions and will broadcast resource
 change notifications when this information changes.

 Note that although these facilities were designed for use by repository tools,
 sneaky plug-ins have been known to use them for other purposes. If you
 have very specialized needs in your plug-in, it may be justifiable to use
 some of these hooks yourself. For example, the plug-in development tools
 use these hooks for binary plug-in projects to prevent users from deleting
 content that is linked back into your install directory.
 Keep in mind that
 in the case of the hook methods, a project can have only one hook implementation.
 Using these hooks for your plug-in will prevent other repositories
 from being able to connect to those projects.

The head of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPACS) at the University of Sydney, Associate Professor Jake Lynch, has received a number of high-profile condemnations over his recent decision to refuse to work with Hebrew University of Jerusalem academic Dan Avnon.
This decision, made in accordance with the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel - of which Lynch is a strong supporter - was in spite of Avnon's work, which involves creating a civics program for Jewish and Arab students in Israel in order to work towards reconciliation between the two groups.
On the face of it, Avnon's work is exactly what Lynch purports to encourage, with the Centre's mission being to "focus on the resolution of conflict with a view to attaining just societies" and to "facilitate dialogue between individuals, groups or communities who are concerned with conditions of positive peace".
For Lynch, however, the institutional ties to an Israeli university were so unthinkable that he could not make an exception for an academic who is working to accomplish the centre's supposed aims.

Australia's business representatives at this year's Group of 20 meetings have thrown their weight behind the growing concern in the financial services sector over the impact of the new global regulatory agenda.
The stepped up focus by the B20 Australia group chaired by Wesfarmers chief executive
The B20 Australia's top official
"We re starting to see signs of a credit squeeze ," he said citing how he was surprised how much Indonesian bankers were concerne d about the issue during a recent meeting in Jakarta.
As result the B20 has commissioned field research focused on small and medium sized enterprises across the G20 countries to see how they are faring in raising working and trade credit amid the new capital adequacy rules which flowed from the global financial crisis.
A series of submissions to Australia's financial services inquiry this week have raised different concerns about the impact of newly agreed capital adequacy rules on lending capacity.
This is a particular concern in some developing countries which need strong credit growth to fuel economic growth but feel they are being impeded by the post-GFC crackdown on risk being driven by US and European regulators.
In what could be an attempt to address concern about bank special pleading on this issue, the B20 has commissioned research on how small and medium enterprises are faring rising working capital and trade finance.
Mr Milliner said this meant G20 leaders would be presented with real cases studies on this issue rather than just arguments by financial services companies. "We must show specific examples," he said.
Mr Milliner said the B20 did not want to roll back the Basel III new capital rules but wanted to make sure they did not work in a way that curtailed the recent G20 finance ministers' plan to boost commitment to boost growth by two percentage points over five years.The B20 holds its second leadership group meeting on Friday ahead of the main gathering of global business leaders in Sydney in July which will finalise recommendations to the leaders.
But in line with the holistic approach being used by Australia's G20 organisers the B20 team has been discussing possible recommendations with the leaders' advisers and has been doing more global liaison with non-member countries and with a panel of global business leaders.
Mr Goyder played down the impact of the western tensions with Russia on the Brisbane summit in November saying it was normal for the leaders to focus on the key global issue of the moment.
He said that with the benefit of a year in the top B20 job he was now confident that work on a range of important business issues was proceeding smoothly through the year. This meant the issues would be addressed by the leaders even if they spent time on a crisis like the Ukraine standoff.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn's Semen Found On The Maid's Clothes, French Newspaper Reports
Dominique Strauss-Kahn's semen was found on the clothing of the New York City hotel housekeeper he allegedly sexually assaulted, according to the French newspaper, Atlantico. The NYPD reportedly examined her clothes for DNA evidence, and removed a portion of the hotel suite carpet. (This is why it's very, very, very important that you do not take a shower, brush your teeth or wash your clothes after any type of sexual assault!) However, Strauss-Kahn's defense team is said to be arguing that the sexual contact between the former International Monetary Fund chief and the unnamed maid was consensual. If you read the new details about the assault that I included in Today's Lady News yesterday, you'll likely agree with me that argument could be a stretch. According to The Atlantic Wire, after the assault, the housekeeper allegedly hid in a hallway until Strauss-Kahn left, where she was found by a supervisor who happened to walk down the hallway. She was nauseous and trembling and when her supervisor and other support staff walked back with her into Strauss-Kahn's suite, she allegedly began spitting on the walls and floor. At one point while describing her ordeal to security staff, she allegedly went into the bathroom to vomit.

Alex Boone is taking at least a little credit for Carlos Hyde's breakout game on the NFL's big stage.
"Somebody owes me a steak. Seriously," cracked Boone, the left guard who helped clear the way.
With franchise rushing leader Frank Gore long gone to the Colts, Hyde quickly showed the San Francisco 49ers still have a reliable power runner. He scored touchdowns on runs of 17 and 10 yards and finished with 168 yards rushing on 26 carries to lead the Niners to a 20-3 victory against the Minnesota Vikings in Jim Tomsula's debut as head coach minus the interim status he had for the final game of 2010.
Hyde wanted to outplay the better-known No. 28 on the field,...

We were excited to learn that this is a thing that exists in the world: An online dating site called "The Atlasphere," which is dedicated to "connecting admirers of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged." Admirers, because a great thinker does not have mere "fans." So of course, we registered and got ourselves a clever username ("Galt Trip") and went looking for the wackiest, most completely out-there profiles we could find, and boy, were we ever surprised to find out that…Objectivists trying to attract a romantic partner are INCREDIBLY BORING.
Seriously, you would expect it would be a laff riot up in there, with all sorts of incredibly selfish me-me-me stuff in the dating profiles, but actually, we have seen far more outrageously assholish profiles in general-purpose dating sites like OKCupid.

Spencer's The Faerie Queene
Book III Canto III
Merlin bewrayes to Britomart,
Most sacred fire, that burnest mightily
Well did Antiquitie a God thee deeme,
But thy dread darts in none doe triumph more,
Begin then, ô my dearest sacred Dame,
Full many wayes within her troubled mind,
At last she her auisd, that he, which made
Forthwith themselues disguising both in straunge
And if thou euer happen that same way
But standing high aloft, low lay thine eare,
The cause some say is this: A litle while
In the meane time through that false Ladies traine,
For he by words could call out of the sky
And sooth, men say that he was not the sonne
They here ariuing, staid a while without,
He nought was moued at their entrance bold:
He bad tell on; and then she thus began.
Therewith th'Enchaunter softly gan to smyle
And to him said, If any leaches skill,
The wisard could no lenger beare her bord,
The doubtfull Mayd, seeing her selfe descryde,
And sayd, Sith then thou knowest all our griefe,
For so must all things excellent begin,
Renowmed kings, and sacred Emperours,
It was not, Britomart, thy wandring eye,
But read (said Glauce) thou Magitian
The man whom heauens haue ordaynd to bee
But sooth he is the sonne of Gorlois,
Great aid thereto his mighty puissaunce,
Where thee yet shall he leaue for memory
Like as a Lyon, that in drowsie caue
His sonne, hight Vortipore, shall him succeede
Behold the man, and tell me Britomart,
All which his sonne Careticus awhile
He in his furie all shall ouerrunne,
Whiles thus thy Britons do in languour pine,
But after him, Cadwallin mightily
Ne shall he yet his wrath so mitigate,
Him shall he make his fatall Instrument,
Where at Cadwallin wroth, shall forth issew,
Then shall Cadwallin dye, and then the raine
Yet after all these sorrowes, and huge hills
Then woe, and woe, and euerlasting woe,
The Damzell was full deepe empassioned,
Nay but the terme (said he) is limited,
For Rhodoricke, whose surname shalbe Great,
Ne shall the Saxons selues all peaceably
Yet shall a third both these, and thine subdew;
Tho when the terme is full accomplishid,
Thenceforth eternall vnion shall be made
But yet the end is not. There Merlin stayd,
Then, when them selues they well instructed had
At last the Nourse in her foolhardy wit
That therefore nought our passage may empeach,
And sooth, it ought your courage much inflame,
And that, which more then all the rest may sway,
Ah read, (quoth Britomart) how is she hight?
Her harty words so deepe into the mynd
Th'old woman nought, that needed, did omit;
The same, with all the other ornaments,
Beside those armes there stood a mighty speare,
Thus when she had the virgin all arayd,
Ne rested they, till that to Faery lond

Australian Nathan Green suffered an expensive late meltdown as Camilo Villegas claimed a comfortable victory in the US PGA Tour's Honda Classic.
The Colombian fired a closing two-under par 68 on Sunday to finish at 13-under 267 and win by a record-tying five strokes from American Anthony Kim (67).
Green started the final day tied for second place but ended tied 12th after a 77 which included a double bogey at the 15th and triple bogey at the par three 17th.
Villegas birdied three holes in a row to seize a six-stroke lead with eight holes remaining, then made bogeys on three of the next five before sinking a 15-foot birdie at the 18th to match the event's record victory margin set by 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus in 1977.
"It's never as easy as you think," Villegas said.
"I played great on the front nine, made a couple of hiccups then got it going at the finish."
Villegas had not won a tour event since back-to-back 2008 triumphs at the BMW Championship and season-ending Tour Championship.
Kim charged late settled for second at 272, one stroke ahead of England's Justin Rose with England's Paul Casey and Fiji's Vijay Singh sharing fourth on 274.
Villegas' victory came in the same week that he flew to his homeland to launch a US developmental tour event in his homeland. It has been a long week but man has it been a good one," Villegas said.
"I loved going back home, then coming out here and taking care of business."

Stephanie Packer was 29 when she found out she had a terminal lung disease.
That's the same age as Brittany Maynard, who last year was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Last fall, Maynard, of Northern California, opted to end her life with the help of a doctor in Oregon, where physician-assisted suicide is legal.

A group of more than 60 organizations has filed a complaint with the federal government claiming Harvard holds higher expectations for its Asian applicants than other minorities.
The coalition is made up of nonprofit organizations, including Chinese, Pakistani and Indian groups, and it claims Harvard uses racial quotas to control the number of Asian-Americans on campus.
"Asian-American applicants shouldn't be racially profiled in college admissions," says Swann Lee, a Chinese-American writer from Brookline, Mass. "Asian-Americans should have the playing field leveled."

Clip from Park Chan-Wook's Stoker, starring Nicole Kidman:
Sasha Stone has been around the Oscar scene since 1999. Almost everything on this website is her fault.
Looks great. Nicole looks in fine form. Can't wait for this!
I love Nicole, but why doesn't she get offered, or accept, parts that are more, how should I say, classy?
Easily my most anticipated film of the year. From what I've seen from the clips and trailers that have been released, the three leads all look in top form. KIDMAN FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS 2013/2014!
Just can´t wait to see Nic e Mia together.
Nicole Kidman an early frontrunner for Best Supporting Actress? :)))
Looks amazing
Two great Aussie actors- cant wait.
absolute worst timing for any serious awards consideration. will be forgotten by next awards season
Nicole looks to have knocked this one out of the park!
This also stars jacki weaver I saw
Guess its jumped to my most anticipated
Pretty fascinating that STOKER was written by none other than WENTWORTH MILLER… Looks like he is taking his career in another direction after Prison Break and somewhat ironic given that he acted in The Human Stain with Nicole back in 2003…
I'll watch it for Nicole Kidman.
I also checked another clip, an alternate official trailer; I know trailers are supposed to leave one wanting for more but, having been familiar with Park Chan-Wook's directing style, while some thrilling shots/scenes look inviting and ring true the modern-day East Asian thriller/horror filmmaking vein, his signature rawness, unlike in his Korea-based pieces, relatively looks forced — more calculated — to me. But I have to see the entire feature to judge for myself…. Just saying.
back in the 90's,-early 00's, Nicole was my favourite working actress. "To Die For" (I need to talk to my shrink about this film. it basically msde me turn from a child to a sexual being), "Portrait of a Lady" (uneven film, great performance), "The Others" (should've won, IMO), "Moulin Rouge" (lotsa talent, just not my cuppa tea), "The Hours" (brilliant, but supporting), "BIRTH" (MIGHT BE MY FAVOURITE FEMALE PERFORMANCE IN WHAT IS DEFINETLY AMONG MY TOP… 6? OF THE AUGHTS) – and then…?? I liked her a bit in rabbit hole, but I felt someone else might've taken it further. haven't seen the paperboy, so can't opine. I WILL say this: those close-ups show that she is not only ready for business, she is ready to take the whole bloody house down. eagerly awaiting this. Park Chan-Wook, along with fellow countryman Boon Jong-Ho ALWAYS get AMAZING work from their actors. having their hollywood debuts with such amazing actors (save for Chris Evans… he'll probably be shirtless at some point, so all will be right with the world) makes me VERY excited for this oncoming year
I forgot to sign my last comment. it's me, Andre. I have nothing to hide, so, here I am. =)
Wow… Hope this is half of a possible Kidman/Winslet Oscar face-off! Kidman for Stoker, of course, and Kate Winslet for either Labor Day or the new Alan Rickman-directed period drama A Little Chaos. Nicole vs. Kate????? Could be…
Kidman did the weird trout pout thing to her face ages ago and I haven't been able to take her seriously since. Plastic surgery is the worst!
Nicole Kidman is such a great actress. I can't believe she only has three Oscar nominations after so many great performances (To Die For, Moulin Rouge, The Others, The Hours, Birth, Dogville, Margot at the Wedding, Rabbit Hole, The Paperboy). Her latest snub for The Paperboy is especially shocking. I saw Silver Linings Playbook last week and I can't believe Jackie Weaver was nominated for this. She does absolutely nothing in this film!
One way or another she will get her due. I mean, how many actors and actresses give career best performances about 4 or 5 times in one decade and yet have just 3 paltry Oscar nominations?
Again, this year, a Kidman performance will be a talking point because it will get under people's skins until critics realise they don't want her to be nominated and start nomming and giving their precursor awards to their own favourite actors/actresses to boost their chances of a nom even if 2 years later nobody remembers the performance they give.
What a talent.
Lay off the Botox!!! I can tell she's trying to emote but no evidence on that face!
She should have won the oscar for The Others or at least been nominated for that instead of Moulin Rouge
Nicole Kidman
Best Supporting Actress, Stoker
Best Lead Actress, Railway Man
Best Lead Actress, Grace of Monaco
Bitch just took that shit DOWN!
Geez. Is there no longer a movie-making middle ground between talky, pretentious, smug art house fare and superhero tent pole movies?
That looked hammy and the dialogue was cliched.
But it stars NK, whose taste for edginess and opacity in films, guarantees that her work will be considered brilliant even if she keeps giving the same performance over and over.
@LillyB45 – So you think Kidman's performances in Rabbit Hole and The Paperboy are the same? What about To Die For and The Hours? Moulin Rouge and Birth?
I think you really should watch those movies, it's obvious you haven't.
And have you seen Stoker? If not, how can you say that it's "talky", "pretentious", "smug arthouse fare"? Is it just because you dislike Nicole Kidman (obviously)?
Seems hammy. Horror films in February don't normally lead to Oscar noms.
After breathtaking turn in "Paperboy" – now this. I'm speechless.
Nicole is taking interesting career choices, as of late!
looks like Hamlet for girls. Surly girls. Woof!
@Zach–who's to say that she isn't getting offered "classy" roles? Maybe she's just turning them down because they're not as interesting. She's done plenty of classy already–Austraila, Moulin Rouge, The Hours, The Portrait of a Lady
@Jason–this seems more suspenseful, like early Hitchcock, than horrific. Besides, actors in good horror/suspense movies get nominated all the time: Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster, Janet Leigh, Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Max von Sydow, Haley Joel Osment, Toni Collette, Patty McCormack, Nancy Kelly, Eileen Heckart, Bette Davis, Victor Buono, Agnes Moorhead, Frederic March, Angela Lansbury, Ruth Gordon, Sigourney Weaver, Willem Dafoe, Johnny Depp (it's a musical, but still horrific). I also think that if Antichrist hadn't been so sexual and gruesome that Charlotte Gainsbourg probably would have received a nod. And Robert Shaw definitely should have gotten one for Jaws.
@Andrew–Three great Australian actors–Nicole, Mia, and Jacky
This seems to harken back to her performance in To Die For, though the wickedness is much more immediately apparent in here than in that Gus van Sant classic.
I think this is one of those rare occasions when her plastic surgery actually helps–
Wow… that reminds me of her role in Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut. She just takes over with a painfully honest monologue that slowly creeps up, and eventually leaves you completely horrified.
Whether it is suspense or horror, it's hard to stay in people's memory for an Oscar nomination come Fall when your film came out in March. Nicole Kidman would have to give an extraordinary performance to be recognized for this. Despite her claims that she is a repertory actress now, this seems boilerplate mean mother. Please don't encourage her regarding the plastic surgery! I will believe that she is interested in being an honest actress when she lets herself age.
Three reviews and all were stellar….. Nicole is on a roll for sure.
And have you seen Stoker? If not, how can you say that it's "talky", "pretentious", "smug arthouse fare"?
Of course I haven't seen it. I base my impressions on the trailer, as do those people who say it looks great. My opinion is no less legitimate than those who are excited to see the film. They're ALL just opinions.
Is it just because you dislike Nicole Kidman (obviously)?
I think that as an actress, she has more artistic ambition than talent. I sometimes see depth but not much breadth of emotion in her "serious" work. Making lots of artsy boutique movies doesn't mean that they are good or that you're good in them.
I'm also annoyed by some of her fans who go into states of Twighlight like defensiveness when anyone dares criticize her work.
Will reap Nicole Kidman Oscars this year it returned again

I see that on the 4501, but only when netbooting. The bootloader runs it
at 100, but the kernel runs it at 10. Booting the exact same kernel
binary from CF doesn't have the problem. I've suspected that it somehow
relates to the state of the NIC at the time the kernel initializes it, but
if you're seeing it without netbooting it may be something else
(e.g. dependence on uninitialzed RAM).

Gerard Butler on His Womanizing 'Playing for Keeps' Character: 'I Probably Have a Lot in Common With George' (VIDEO)
In Keeps, Butler plays George, a handsome, 40-something womanizer who is forced to grow up a lot sooner than he expected. While the movie offers plenty of eye candy for the ladies, it also provides them with an unlikely coming-of-age story, one that hit a little too close to home for the 300 star.
"[George] reminds me a little bit too much of me," Butler told Celebuzz. How much? Read on…
Butler has played everything from a Spartan king to a burgeoning Tomb Raider. But it's roles like George that prove to be the most difficult for him as an actor.
"It's more challenging playing 'me', or a slightly different version of me."
Playing For Keeps, starring Butler and Uma Thurman, opens Friday, December 7. Watch Celebuzz' exclusive interview with Butler above, and check out a clip from the film below!
