J. Michael
Wiltbank, a photography student at Brigham Young University
in Provo, Utah, never fancied himself a budding Robert
Mapplethorpe. But in December, just a few days into
"Sixteen," a two-week-long departmental
exhibition at the school's fine arts center, he
received a call from a fellow student informing him
that his work had been censored and removed from the
contribution wasn't exactly Mapplethope's
shocking Self-portrait With Whip. Instead it
consisted of eight pairs of benign portraits, each
depicting an LGBT-identified BYU student alongside a
supportive friend, without identifying which person is
While the Mormon
Church-owned university honor code forbids gay behavior
or advocacy, Wiltbank's project didn't violate
that code. Simply identifying as gay or owning up to
gay feelings is permitted.
"I knew
exactly what BYU's stance was," he says,
"and I brought it up during the conceptual
stage. My professor even had the project approved
before I was able to begin photographing."
After confirming
with the school's administration that his portraits
had been removed, Wiltbank vented about the affair on
his blog. His story made its way to a number of gay
blogs and some news sites, and a few days later
university administrators came calling.
They offered to
reinstate the portraits, attributing their removal to a
"miscommunication" within between the dean of
the college and the fine arts department.
When asked
whether the censorship -- and reversal -- had anything to do
with the anti-Mormon backlash that followed the passage of
Prop. 8, the California anti-gay-marriage measure
supported by many members of the church, BYU media
relations manager Michael Smart said, "That is a fair
question. The reason it was resolved quickly is that it
shouldn't have come down in the first
Smart would not
specify who made the initial decision to remove the
On December 9,
Wiltbank's work went back up -- though it
didn't remain untouched.
"There was
a part in my artist's statement about how I see a bit
of myself in each of the portraits," Wiltbank
says, "and we had to reprint it because someone
wrote, 'He's gay too' on it."

Detecting Information Pooling: Evidence from Earnings Forecasts after Brokerage Mergers
Forecast improvements can be expected if the two partners involved in a brokerage merger pool information and expertise. We examine four large mergers of brokerage firms in the last decade to study the incidence of and explanations for forecast improvements after the mergers. At the brokerage-level, we find that for two of the four mergers, forecast improvements appear more pronounced in subsamples of stocks for which both of the pre-merger analysts were retained in the merged brokerage. At the analyst-level, we find only weak evidence of forecast improvements after the merger. However, we find evidence that after a merger, a stock is more likely to be assigned to an analyst with overall better forecasting performance before the merger. This suggests that analyst selection can be a mechanism generating the post-merger forecasting improvements.

Walking Away from Faith is a book I have been intending to review and bring to your attention since reading it. Ruth Tucker is another author I enjoy reading. She is the assistant professor of missiology at Calvin College. Her famous and award winning book, From Jerusalem to Irian Jara, was a delight to read.
Walking Away from Faith is a challenging and sobering book. It deals with situations that will cause you to think, pray, examine the word, and discuss it with other believers. While we have emphasized the biblical doctrine "perseverance of the saints," most people translate that to mean "once saved always saved." Tucker writes about those who "lost their faith." She writes about those who have struggled with faith but she does not avoid the hard questions.
She states that "All of us in our faith fall somewhere on the vast, subjective spectrum that ranges from absolute certainty to unrestrained skepticism. Some profess a confident belief in God that is never questioned; others cling to a belief riddled with doubts, only a millimeter shy of unbelief." How do we explain, she asks, the one who ministers faithfully in the church for many years only to finally walk away from the faith? She calls this a paradox that we usually try to avoid rather than confront. She also states that while the matter of one's salvation is in the hands of the sovereign God, we need to listen to their stories, give them an honest hearing, dialogue with them, and reach in love to them.
She states that the most common "walk-away" is the one brought up in a Christian home, who makes a profession of faith as a young person, but drifts away during adolescence or young adulthood. She continues to state that they display more apathy than anger and rarely make any profession of atheism or agnosticism.
In the beginning of the book, she tells of relating the death of her mother in 1969 to her struggle with faith to a college class. She said, "when I finished sharing my story; the students began to open up more that ever." It seemed that God either had no answers to the questions regarding doubt and losing one's faith or he simply chose to be silent. You sense this attitude in many of the Psalms.
The book is filled with stories of people who once professed to be Christians but who later abandoned the faith. I'll use one story from the book regarding Chuck Templeton. The chapter is entitled "A Tale of Two Evangelists"-Templeton and his close friend Billy Graham. Templeton finally identified himself as an agnostic, not an atheist, not a theist, not a skeptic, and certainly not indifferent. He was a pastor and evangelist from Toronto who started out with Billy Graham in the 1940s in the Youth for Christ movement. At the first rally, Billy leaned over to Templeton and said, "Pray for me Chuck, I'm scared to death."
Templeton's life began to become riddled with doubt and he eventually left the faith. He continued to admire Graham, though he could no longer walk with him in the faith. He wrote a book in 1996 entitled Farewell to God. He died three years later of Alzheimer's disease. Billy Graham said of Templeton, "I love Chuck to this very day. He's one of the few men I have ever loved in my life. He and I had been so close. But then all of a sudden, our paths were parting. He began to be a little cool to me then. I think…that Chuck felt sorry for me."
In an interview with Lee Strobel before his death, Strobel asked whether he would like to believe, and Chuck responded, "of course! If I could, I would. I'm eighty-three years old. I've got Alzheimer's. I'm dying, for goodness sake." Though he maintained his fondness of Graham and said in the end, "I miss him," but he could not return to the faith.
If you have never struggled with doubt and uncertainty you will probably not appreciate this book. However, if you have struggled with doubt or attempted to minister to someone who has, you will find encouragement, hope, and insights on how to live within that "paradox," as Tucker calls it. In the conclusion she quotes the famous verse, "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief." She says, "Without the Lord's help, my belief is utterly insufficient." She acknowledges that our belief does not rest on our ability to believe. And with a stunning call to faith, she closes with the words of the Apostles' Creed.

St. Andrew's Church, Grinton
The core of the church and its tower are 12th century and the church was expanded and altered in the 14th,15th and 16th centuries. By the 1890s it was in poor condition so it was rebuilt and expanded to its present width. It was reopened in 1896. There are some interesting interior fittings such as the pulpit with its overhead sounding board to increase audibility, and the royal coat of arms.
Parking: There is a dedicated Festival parking field over the bridge from the church. Please follow our signs and please do not park in the village itself. The parking field is a short walk from the church. Disabled passengers may be dropped off outside the church gate.
Toilets: There are public toilets across the road, next to the Bridge Inn car park. There is one toilet inside the church tower which is strictly for use by the performers and disabled people who cannot make it to the public toilets over the road.
Refreshments: Tea, coffee and biscuits are available inside the church during the interval. Our sponsor The Bridge Inn (across the road from the church) serves pre-concert meals and it is also possible to pop over for an interval drink if you're quick!

License to Thrill is a romantic adventure in the spirit of super-cool, super-sexy Agent 007!
He wasn't the man she wanted to trust... but when the stakes turn deadly, it's nice to have a hard body between her and trouble!
She wasn't the woman he expected to fall for... and he has a bad feeling a bulletproof vest isn't going to protect his heart this time!
©1997 Stephanie Bond, Inc. (P)2013 Stephanie Bond, Inc.
"Light mystery, light romance"
The publisher calls License to Thrill a romantic adventure, but there is very little action. This is a typical bad-guys-after-innocent-girl story, whom the good guy works to protect. It's shallow, with little intrigue but is okay because it is a book that doesn't take itself too seriously - typical Stephanie Bond.
The publisher also refers to the main male character as a "super-cool, super-sexy Agent 007!" but this doesn't come through without reading 'in between the lines' quite a bit. The female protagonist is the one aspect that is not typical - she isn't amazingly beautiful, thin, or rich. She even wears glasses. The two make the most unlikely couple, but somehow they fit.
Overall, don't have high expectations if you spend a credit on this one.
"Narrator spoiled this for me"
I'm so glad I read this book before listening to the audio version. I love Stephanie Bond's books and loved this story when I first read it. I thought it was funny and sexy and couldn't wait to try the audiobook. But the narrator's horrid attempt at a male British accent made the hero sound more like a stuffy old English butler with absolutely no sex appeal rather than a former James Bond-type agent. I'm going to go back and read the book again just to get that image/sound out of my head! Other than ruining James Donovan for me, I thought Erin Mallon did okay and I would listen to other books read by her, as long as the hero isn't British!
this book is another great one that Stephanie Bond has written. catching, funny, and mesmerizing. I recommend this book to anyone that wants a light funny but catching read...
"Nice Romantic Suspense"
License to Thrill was an okay story. It was not the best audio book I listened to and it was not the worst. It was a nice audible to listen to on a Saturday afternoon when I had to clean the house. Something that kept my interest with a light romance.
I think Erin Mallon did a nice job with this book. I have listened to other books by Erin Mallon and have become a fan. Narration is a large part of an audio book experience. The only issue I had is that Erin Mallon has always done a nice job with male voices, but with the voice of James Donovan, he sounded like a British vampire at times.
This was a nice romance mixed with light suspense. Characters are likable. James Donavan came to San Francisco to do a job as a favor for a friend and finds himself interested in Kat McKray. Kat is a museum curator and is accused of stealing a letter from the museum and James Donovan being a retired ex-British agent takes it upon to help her and find out what Kat McCray is hiding and who took the letter.
"Irritating reader"
I loved the book but the reader ruined it
Her imitation of English accents was horrible and distracting.
Loved the story line which was ruined by the reader

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has arrived in Libya, the BBC has reported, as part of a two-day visit that has drawn criticism by a human rights group.
Bashir is wanted by the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of genocide in Sudan's western Darfur region. He was met at Tripoli airport on Saturday by Mustafa Abdul Jalil, chairman of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC), Reuters reported.
In a statement, Richard Dicker, international justice director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), said "welcoming Bashir… raises questions about the NTC's stated commitment to human rights and the rule of law".
Sudanese-Libyan relations soured under the dictatorship of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, toppled last year by rebels openly supported by al-Bashir who provided them with guns and money.
More from GlobalPost: The fall of Muammar Gadaffi
Abdul Jalil visited Khartoum in November. Al-Bashir's government there accused Gaddafi of supporting Sudanese rebels in Darfur and in South Sudan, which secured independence last July under a 2005 peace deal, according to the Associated Press.
According to Reuters, the loss of oil production in the south of the country has hit al-Bashir hard, with revenue losses and climbing inflation increasing pressure on the president at home.

Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida
Physical Therpist dislocated shoulder after rotator cuff surgery
My husband had rotator cuff surgery 9 1/2 weeks ago, due to a fall in our shower. On 2/12/08 he had he had to have surgery again to have adhesions broken lose. Per Doctor's orders I took him to Physical Therapy on 2/13, while stretching same arm therapist dislocated his shoulder. Everyone there kept saying there was his way his shoulder could be dislocated but he was screaming in pain and begging them to please do something for him. They finally took an X-Ray and confirmed that the shoulder was dislocated. One of the Associate Doctors tried to relocate shoulder but due to intense pain/muscle spasms could not. I was told to take him to ER; they were able to relocate his shoulder. His arm and hand is still numb and tingling. He has 2 fingers that are totally numb. His regular surgeon is out of town until 2/20. We have been instructed to do nothing until then. Physicians said'' the shoulder is possibly blown and may need to be completely replaced''
What should we do next?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Physical Therpist dislocated shoulder after rotator cuff surgery
You will need to speak forst with your doctor to see what damage was done. Often a dislocated shoulder will, essentially, heal just fine. If the shuolder was damaged or another surgery is required, you will need to then speak with a medical malpractice lawyer. Please feel free to contact me at your comvenience. Medical malpractice cases can be expensive and quite difficult. The legislature has passed laws that favor health care providers, not the injured. You can reach me through our web site or you may call directly.
Re: Physical Therpist dislocated shoulder after rotator cuff surgery
The most important thing you can do is make sure that the shoulder is propely taken care of. You should follow the doctors advice. If your husband's doctor is out of town you should be able to talk to someone who is covering his patients and do what is needed medically.
You should also document what has happened. Keep a journal with dates, times, witnesses etc. If the shoulder heals and there is no need for additional surgery then, most likely, you will not want to pursue any type of action against the Therapist or his Company.
Medical Malpractice actions are expensive. Many attorneys will take the case on a contingency basis so you will not have to pay a lot of money up front. That means the attorney fee comes out of any recovery that the attorney gets for you. There has to be significant damage in order to justify spending thousands of dollars to prepare for trial.
Do not be put off by my mention of the cost. If your husband ends up needing a shoulder replacement, the damages may very well be more than sufficient to support and action. You should not hesitate to call and talk to a malpractice attorney in more detail. I have been handling these types of cases for over 30 years and will be happy to talk to you and help you decide if you have a case. There is no charge and no obligation for the call. It may give you some peace of mind even if you decide that there is no case.
Good Luck!

KUALA LUMPUR: PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali says he will address allegations over a sex video featuring a man purportedly resembling him, at a ceramah in Rusila, Marang next Friday.
"I will refrain from commenting on the issue now as I will be speaking about it at the ceramah," Mustafa said at a press conference here Saturday.
"If you want to, you can come and listen to me talk about it," he told reporters.
Asked if he was lodging a police report on the matter, he said had left the matter to his lawyer.
He also said he would defend himself in the lawsuit filed against him by Umno on April 23, on his claim that the party was the mastermind behind the video clip.

Determinants of Food Insecurity among Households in Addis Ababa City, Ethiopia
Even though there is long-held belief that urban populations are better off, or even favoured than rural populations, the recent food and financial crises have highlighted the problem of urban food insecurity in developing countries. Hence, the overall objective of this study was to examine the determinants of food insecurity among urban households in Addis Ababa city. To do so, both descriptive statistics and econometric analysis were employed. Descriptive statistics used Foster, Greer and Thorbeck distributional measure of food insecurity while econometric analysis used binary logistic regression model to analyze the data of a set of socio-economic variables as explanatory variables and food insecurity as independent variable. The head count index shows that 58,16 % of the total households are below the food insecurity line. The food insecurity gap and severity were 20 % and 9,4 %, respectively. The result of the logistic regression model estimate indicates that out of the 10 factors included, 6 were found to have a significant influence on the probability of being food insecure at less than 10 % significance level. The variables considered were household size, age of household head, household head education, and access to credit, household asset possession, and access to employment. Efforts should be made to improve income earning capacity of households, their education level with particular focus on vocational training, reduce household size with a view to reducing their dependency ratio and access of credit to the needy and trained people needs to be provided with proper targeting criterion.

(KYTX) - A warning to underage students going on Spring Break vacation... The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is cracking down on minors trying to buy alcohol ahead of their big trips.
TABC is conducting at least 600 sting operations around Spring Break at liquor stores and convenience stores.
"TABC- they're out and about, and we're going to make sure that we're not selling to any minors."
D&N grocery store manager Ebaristo Torres says Spring Break or not, his clerks are all TABC certified and on the lookout for minors trying to buy alcohol.
"First, they're going to be carded. And, what we do usually is we pay attention to the beer area. We have someone working here all the time. And, if anyone looking under 30 is trying to get beer, we always pay special attention to them."
Torres says his clerks are already expecting a sting because Tyler just went wet.
"We're pretty much on high alert now because it's kind of time for one to happen. So, we're trying to take the precautions."
And TABC Sergeant Mark Stokke says it's coming soon.
"We expect them, at this point, right now, to be compliant and know what they're doing. And, hopefully when we do a sting in Tyler, we won't get any of them. That's always our goal."
In the meantime, Stokke says TABC's minor sting operations will be concentrated along major highways that lead to Texas beaches like Galveston and South Padre for Spring Break.
Here's how it works... TABC sends someone underage into a store to buy alcohol with a valid drivers license.
"And, they'll just go and buy a six-pack of beer or whatever it is that they buy." says Sgt. Stokke. "If asked their age, they'll be honest. They'll say I'm 17 or I'm 18."
If the clerk still gives them the alcohol, they'll have to deal with the TABC officer waiting outside. And, Stokke says the store can expect major penalties.
"We are out there looking. We have some programs where we go into the stores and pose as clerks."
28-year-old Albert Anderson says the consequences just aren't worth it for minors who get caught trying to buy alcohol this Spring Break.
"Two beers will get your life taken or get anything that you've worked for in your lifetime taken in five seconds. It's really not worth it."
"That's going to stay on their record, you know, for the rest of their lives." says Sgt. Stokke.
Not to mention ruin their Spring Break.
Students can get ticketed for possession of alcohol by a minor, but just the attempt to purchase alcohol is also against the law, and it's "attempt to purchase by a minor."
As for the store, they'll get hit with an eight-day suspension or $2,400 fine for the first offense. If TABC catches the same store doing it again, the penalties double. The third time, TABC can cancel the store's permit to sell alcohol.

Speed and Distance Unit Quiz
Lesson 9 of 9
Big Idea: Students complete a quick five question quiz on speed, distance, and variables that affect each.
I wanted to create a really quick quiz to ensure that the students have an understanding of the vocabulary and concepts that we have learned thus far. This unit is comprised of different vocabulary and it is important for the students to be able to distinguish the difference in the definitions of the words; for example it is extremely important for the students to know the difference between speed and distance. This five question quiz, reviews the main concepts of the unit. It reviews the definitions of speed and distance, while also incorporating a multiple choice question about variables and written response questions. I wanted to give the students different opportunities to share their thinking; which is why the questions are formulated in different ways. I have attached the assessment which can be found in the resource section.

It's time to choose a Dish of the Month for Los Angeles for May 2013.
The April 2013 Dish of the Month (Burritos) was a great walk down memory lane for some of our great comfort food memories, and dug up some great, long-standing hidden gems. So lets see where are stomachs take us for May.
The idea is this: choose a 'Dish of the Month' for the LA area and then collectively try as many versions of this dish as possible during the month of May, reporting back with details and photos. It's great to talk about places you've been in the past, but the idea is to explore new places and make new discoveries.
The dish that gets chosen might be something very specific (Boston Creme Pie) but might also be more of a dish category (Cupcakes). It's up to everyone here, but it probably makes sense to choose something that locals are excited about trying and finding the best and most interesting versions!
Some ideas off the top of my head to perhaps get the juices flowing:
Anyway, this is the nomination thread for May 2013…you can nominate as many dishes as you want, but once we do the voting thread (which will start on April 27), it will be one vote per user.
To nominate a dish, please (please!) post it in ALL CAPS in the responses below. This thread will be open until midnight PDT on April 26th.

"Wrong Narrator"
This was, for the most part a nice little kid's story; though much of the middle portion of the narrative was pretty tedious. However the middle aged male narrating this tale from the perspective of a thirteen year old just didn't work. Indeed it was just so jarring, that at times it completely distracted from the story. I know that it's probably impossible to find a thirteen year old male capable of reading an audiobook but I find it hard to believe that a better reader couldn't have been located.
"An excellent ride"
This was a good book. Alex (10) and Molly (7) really enjoyed the plot and made the long road trip go faster.
"This is was a interesting audio book I ever read
I love it audible is the best site ever it is better than reading it.
"Very good short story"
Enjoyed listening to this, it is only a short story lasting just over 2 hours but great for listening too in the car
"Reader too old to narrate this story!!"
I recommend the book, but not this particular audiobook. It was very disconcerting to hear a grown man read the voice of the 13 year old narrator. It's a great story, though. Perfect for readers ages 9-12.
"This was a great read!"
I wouldn't rent this particular book again, since it was for my daughter to read for her book club. She really enjoyed the experience and loved being able to relax and lay on her couch, while listening. Great time, great book.

By Romain Bonilla, Portland State University SSDP
The congressmen behind the federal marijuana bills, Earl Blumenauer and Jared Polis, co-authored "The Path Forward: Rethinking Federal Marijuana Policy," a report in which they discuss their views on marijuana and its relationship to the federal government. This is a great account of a policy-maker's perspective on the issue, and I can only hope more politicians follow suit.
The 19-page report covers several aspects of marijuana – from the costs of prohibition to the shifts in public opinion – and its content references a generous amount of reliable sources. More importantly, The Path Forward highlights the current challenges pertaining to the conflict between federal and state laws. Polis and Blumenauer broke it down to five challenges:
- Enforcement: "The federal government must choose the degree to which it will enforce federal law in states that have legalized marijuana under state law. Strict enforcement will become increasingly difficult and costly as more states legalize marijuana." (p. 11)
- Federal Tax Challenges: "Many state tax systems link to provisions in the federal tax code. In these situations, even where medical marijuana is legal, business expenses cannot be deducted from state taxes." (p. 12)
- Banking and Business Challenges: "Banks will not risk federal prosecution. Therefore, many medical marijuana businesses have difficulty accessing capital and are forced to operate on a cash-only basis, which raises the risks for money laundering, tax evasion, robbery, and other crimes." (p. 12)
- Medical Marijuana Research: "Permission to obtain marijuana for medical research has been quite difficult. Thus while opponents of medical marijuana research often point to the absence of peer-reviewed studies that establish the medical benefits of marijuana, the absence of such studies is more directly a result of the extreme legal and funding difficulties surrounding conducting such a scientific study." (p. 12)
- Hemp: "Despite its proven industrial use in products such as paper, fabrics, insulation and more, current federal marijuana laws make it illegal to grow industrial hemp in the United States. Given the negligible levels of THC in the product, the fear of industrial hemp is not only misplaced, it harms the economy by forcing companies to import raw hemp." (p. 13)
While these are certainly not the only challenges in marijuana policy, the points chosen by Polis and Blumenauer create a new way to frame the issue. Since state laws implementing alternatives to marijuana prohibition are at odds with federal legislation, many Americans are concerned about federal interference. But there is more to this conflict than merely the enforcement of the law. By discussing the practical, financial, and fiscal implications of banning marijuana at the federal level, Earl Blumenauer and Jared Polis provide the public with additional levels of critique of the federal approach towards marijuana.

The Batch C final three qualifiers for the Contest of Champions have emerged. They are Olanrewaju Alawoki, Fejiro Ejogbamu and Sunday Gyang.
21 year old Olanrewaju Alawoki won the final task. The task entailed all six contenders going over a hurdle three times and smashing pots dangling from ropes, with batons, and then returning to the starting point. During each of the trips, they would have to recover a key hidden in the pots. The keys, three in all, would unlock three boxes, one for each of the contenders. Inside the boxes were parts of puzzles which they were required to solve. The first three persons to complete the task automatically qualified for the Contest of Champions, while the last two lost out.
Fejiro, who was the last to find his key, finished second after Olanrewaju. It became a straight battle between Sunday Gyang, Kessiena Egone and Efe Oniovosa for the last slot. Sunday managed to solve the puzzle in his second attempt, fending off the challenge of the two others. For his effort, Olanrewaju was awarded the leopard sash of the great King Aska, in addition to qualifying for the next round.
Now, the nine automatic spots for the Contest of Champions have been filled. Olanrewaju, Fejiro and Sunday will join Kelvin Durst, Promise Ojiegbe and Anastasia Azike from Batch A, as well as Tony Igwe, Tony Horsfall and Christopher Okagbue from Batch B in the Contest of Champions.
The 10th spot will be determined after the audience votes back in one of the evicted contenders from Batch C. The contender will then square off against Geraldine Obi and Theodora Egbo who were both voted back in from Batches A and B respectively. The winner of this last contest will join nine already qualified contestants in the Contest of Champions.

I tried this tisane after seeing it in all the supermarkets in Paris, and I wanted a change from chamomile. I really love the taste and drink it most winter evenings. I steep it four minutes, but it's not at all fussy (like real tea). The taste is of tilleul (linden), orangier (orange blossom), and chamomile, but since those first two flavors are foreign to most people, you'll just have to take my word that it's mellow and soothing! They make another version with verveine (verbena) that I like even better.

General Question
[Probably NSFW] Ancient Greek and Roman statuary, depictions of men?
Asked by elbanditoroso (22416) December 12th, 2013
Most Roman statues of men tended to have the men wearing togas or capes or armor. There are some Roman male nude statues, of course.
Greek statuary generally depicted more nude (i.e. unrobed) males as a percentage, although of course there are quite a number of statues showing robed men as well.
As far as I can find, both Roman and Greek statues of men showed flaccidity, not tumescence.
Art history majors: is there any evidence of statues showing erections, or was that simply "not done" by ancient sculptors? Or were such statues made, but then destroyed by various censorious religions groups over the millenia?

No, sorry, but this is bollocks not worthy of the screen inches.
Samsung 'Galaxy 4S' spied in benchmark results
Samsung may be doing an Apple. Since it isn't releasing the Galaxy S III at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) show later this month, how about a tweaked version of its current flagship instead? Enter - maybe - a reference to the Galaxy S II Plus, seemingly keyed into the An3DBenchXL benchmark app by Samsung itself. All we can …
Well, my Samsung Galaxy S2 has android 2.3.5 installed (Samsung not Cyanogen). I doubt an updated handset will be at an older android revision that it's predecessor.
Strange kind of "+"
Still 800x480 on 4.3", still no Android 4.0...
I would say this is just another angle from which to spray subtly different models all over the market. Samsung has always been very good at that.
They could do it but
Apple would sue them due to that being their preferred business model.
The current CPU already happily overclocks to 1.5Ghz.
never mind that
They've already released several SII variants with *stock* clocks of 1.5GHz. And larger screens (4.5" and 4.7").
This whole article reads like it was written by someone who isn't aware there are already about seven bajillion 'Galaxy S II' phones, some very different from others. (My husband's 'Galaxy S II' has more in common, hardware-wise, with my MyTouch 4G Slide than most other 'GSII' variants). Which I suppose is understandable if you're in Europe, where you mostly just get the actual original model. But if you're in NA, it's a rather different story. See:
for all the gory details.
The test allows you to modify the default model when submitting results.
Non story.
the story...
you didn't read very carefully: the story claims this result was submitted by Samsung itself.
My Galaxy S2 already beats/matches most of those specs stock. The US T-Mobile version came with a 4.52" screen, 1.5ghz dual core processor and I'm currently on android 2.3.6 and has HSPA+ so I average 14-19mb/s download and 2-4mb/s upload. Although I didn't make a note of what the article said the bench was, my quadrant score averages 3350 or higher. The other two US carriers have a slower smaller version that closer matches the European/world version. But the Samsung 1.2ghz exynos processor is just as fast as the 1.5ghz snapdragon, so other than screen size they are all the same. I have a feeling the graphic here was falsely created just to make a story unless they are putting an LTE radio in it which would only slow it down and shorten battery life.
there's already...
...an LTE model. The SGH-I727, branded 'Skyrocket' on AT&T and "Galaxy S II LTE" on Rogers in Canada. The Rogers variant is the 'SGH-I727R' but I don't think there's actually any difference beyond the carrier name stamped on the case.

PV tops Cavs to qualify for districts
The Pleasant Valley girls' basketball team knew what was on the line when it took the floor against East Stroudsburg South Tuesday night.
A win would have given the Lady Bears six victories in the Mountain Valley Conference, thus qualifying them for the District 11 playoffs. Knowing that, they went out and got the job done.
Behind a strong effort from senior Kelecia Harris, and perhaps its best shooting night of the season, Pleasant Valley topped East Stroudsburg South 54-50 in MVC play. The Bears move to 10-6 (6-2) and can now focus on getting things right before heading into the post-season.
"I think our defense was a little bit more aggressive in the first half," said Pleasant Valley head coach Nadia Gauronsky. "We were able to get some steals and rebounds and get out on a break. On top of that we made some high percentage shots.
"In the second half, (South) did a good job of containing us and we couldn't really bust down the floor. Fortunately, we hit some free throws - which we haven't been able to do all year - so it's a good thing that we are finally making them now."
Pleasant Valley used its quickness to open a 21-14 lead at the end of one. Amber Chieffo knocked down two triples, while Harris added seven of her game-high 21 points. All five starters scored for the Bears as the Cavs were forced to keep up.
South clawed back in the second behind forward Hannah Swinton. Swinton went for eight in the frame and brought the Cavs to within three (31-28) at the break. At the same time, the Bears' offensive push slowed slightly. Harris was the only local to score more than two points (four) in the quarter.
The Cavs continued to fight in the third. This time it was guard Emma Menio dropping seven to help South tie the game at 42.
Then, Pleasant Valley's adjustments finally paid off in the fourth as it held the Cavs to just one field goal for the entire quarter. Meanwhile, the Bears went 8-of-14 from the free throw line. Arden Cisluycis sank 3-of-4 in the final 30 seconds to seal the win.
Harris was the biggest factor in Pleasant Valley winning the game. While the Bears' center led the team with 21 points, she also grabbed 18 rebounds and made a handful of steals on the defensive end.
"Kelly is not one to speak and not very vocal, but she shows her leadership on the floor," said Gauronsky. "If there is a young kid out there who wants to see how to play every minute aggressively then they should probably come and watch her. She really gives everything she has every single second of the game."
Gauronsky noted that the game will go a long way for her team's confidence since they were able to reverse their fortunes from their first meeting with East Stroudsburg South. According to the third-year head coach, her Bears were just a bunch of young kids a month or so ago. Now, they are a winning basketball team.
"I think we are getting a little more confident," said Gauronsky. "At the beginning of the year we were a bunch of sophomores who really didn't have a lot of experience. Last time we were up at South, we were ahead by a couple at halftime and ending up losing.
"This time we were able to hold on to the lead. That says something about the girls and how hard they are working together as a group."
Lippold 1-1-2-3, L. Steakin 4-4-5-14, T. Steakin 3-0-0-8, Menio 4-2-4-10, Eck 1-0-2-2, Swinton 6-1-2-13. TOTALS: 19-8-15-50.
Chieffo 2-0-1-6, Harris 8-5-9-21, Cusluycis 0-5-8-5, Dekmar 3-0-0-6, Dorney 4-2-4-10, Craig 0-2-4-2, Meckes 1-0-0-2, Miller 1-0-0-2. TOTALS: 19-14-26-54.

Revel Horwood's Maestro 'slap'
Craig Revel Horwood says competing on Maestro At The Opera is like having his wrists slapped publicly for his acerbic comments on Strictly.
The TV judge, 47, is appearing with the likes of actress Josie Lawrence and DJ Trevor Nelson in the BBC Two conducting show.
"I'm having my wrists slapped and learning my lesson publicly, which is going to be a delight for some of the Strictly audience," he said.
Craig said of having the shoe on the other foot: "I don't really like that bit of it because I feel like a sweaty 12-year-old boy being told off.
"I've got too nervous a disposition for this show, I've discovered, but as I've signed a contract I have to go through with it."
:: Maestro At The Opera begins on BBC Two tonight (April 27).

Xavier Dolan's stylishly appealing and aesthetically well-informed portrait of the infatuation/obsession of youth and the problems that arise from an immature and self-centered M.O. is a thoroughly refreshing take on a classic theme. We're all no doubt familiar with stories of young people who experience deeply felt romantic fantasies and then form odd and — from a distant enough perspective — foolish, quite often pointless love triangles. While novels, poems, and plays concerning the folly of youth and the desire (compulsion?) to possess some fantastically beautiful 'other' are rich with cultural import, I feel that film above all other media is most capable of capturing the palpable, visceral, and emotional nature of young lust and obsession (cf. Truffaut, Godard, Hughes, et al.). With Heartbeats, Mr. Dolan has carved out a spot for himself among such well-respected company.
Maybe in part because he's still quite a young man himself, Dolan has rendered an intimate, consummately detailed expression of the genuine longing and self-doubt that, to be quite honest, are really the only aspects that make his characters worth paying attention to. Dolan knows this, and so Heartbeats' chief concern is the shared affection of two friends for a perfectly beautiful young blond-haired man. At the outset, we're introduced to the three of them at a hip Montreal dinner party — you know, the kind where everyone's showing off at least a little. Franics (Dolan) and Maria (Monia Chokri) dismiss Nicolas (Niels Schneider) as good looking but ultimately unrefined and not worth their time, them being the hip young elites of civilized Canada and all. The ensuing war over Nicolas that takes place between the the old friends is as excruciatingly polite as it is pregnant with emotion. With neither willing to admit to the other that they actually have feelings for this oblivious Adonis, a painful comedy of errors plays out that touches on some of the more universal feelings associated with a super-big crush.
There's an interesting syncopation taking place between quasi-Kubrickian detached amusement and overtly heartfelt nostalgic sentimentality in this film, the director moving from one to another as he sees fit. The attention he pays to the minutiae of his characters, establishing very central truths about them through seemingly very little effort, is the true mark of his genius. Dolan proves himself to be quite adept and thoughtful through the choices he makes with this film. Whereas a character's nervous tick might be played for its quirk-factor by many directors, Dolan seamlessly weaves the body language of his characters into their dialogue, which, although at some times a bit too stylized for my tastes, never devolves into babble. A stylistic device that appears several times throughout the film is Dalida's Italian cover of Sonny Bono's classic "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)." This leitmotif imbues Heartbeats with a distinctly ambivalent mood, which, like the cover itself, tends toward the melodramatic a little too much and just a little too often.
In his first film, I Killed My Mother, Dolan established himself as a unique talent, a new voice that, though a bit forced and derivative, still had something interesting to contribute to the world of film. With Heartbeats, his second, he has assuaged any fears that he was a mere enfant terrible flash-in-the-pan one-off with too much of his parents' money. Dolan is a true auteur, and with his third film, the forthcoming Laurence Anyways, he's attempting to craft another subtle and complex narrative about human relationships, this time about the effect upon the union between a man and a woman after the man decides to change his sex. I'm on the edge of my seat.


text: Hey all - I have an Arp Solus that behaves as if the low D key is constantly being pressed even though it's not. I can get sounds from the keys below the low D (the Arp Solus gives priority to lower notes), but pressing the keys to the right of the low D gets no results. So I assume something under the key is stuck in the "activated" or "pressed" position. I've never opened an analog synth before, so I'm afraid of screwing something up. Has anyone ever worked on an Arp before? Any ideas on what steps I need to take?


text: The US Virtual Console is getting a beat 'em up game for the New Year, and while Riot Zone is no Final Fight, it's still a hoot to get to beat up random henchmen. The game will be available on January for 800 Wii Points. Riot Zone first appeared for the PC in 1993, and is also known as Crest of Wolf in Japan. You can choose between two characters: Tony, the stronger character, or Hawk, the quicker of the two. Basically your run of the mill choices. The game's already been rated for Australia's Virtual console.

This week, Tennessee welcomes tens of thousands of music fans for two very successful and very different music festivals. The 2012 CMA festival kicked off in Nashville on Thursday night, featuring performances from some of country music's biggest stars, including acts like Dierks Bentley, Alan Jackson, Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and David Nail. Meanwhile, an hour south of Nashville, the city of Manchester, TN is hosting its own four-day music festival with Bonnaroo. Bonnaroo is a much different musical landscape than the CMA fest, with artists like Radiohead, Ludacris, Foster the People, The Civil Wars and Phish entertaining thousands of concertgoers on over 10 different stages.
The fact that two large music festivals can be held simultaneously in middle Tennessee shows the musical diversity that Nashville continues to embrace and share with music fans from every genre and throughout the United States. There is no better representation of this than ASCAP artist/songwriter Jaren Johnston. Jaren is a celebrated songwriter on the streets of music row for penning songs for country artists like Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney and Sara Evans. He's also the front man for the southern rock trio, The Cadillac Black, which played the ASCAP showcase at the 2012 SXSW Festival.
I want to celebrate this kind of musical diversity by outlining what Jaren does as a songwriter and as an artist.
Kenny Chesney is set to release a new record with one of Jaren's songs called "Sing 'Em Good My Friend." I heard Jaren play this song at a writers round at 3rd & Linsley in Nashville a few months back. It was one of those rare and special moments when a song captures every ounce of your attention. I found myself hanging on every line of the song, about a young man buying a guitar from an elderly man who is selling off everything he owns to care for his ailing wife. I promise I haven't wrecked the plot or any song twist. I tell you this as an ode to my favorite line from the song: "Honestly honesty never goes out of style so sing the pain my friend." No surprise that Jaren recently received a nomination as one of finalists for 2012 Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year by Music Row Magazine.
One of the unique events we hold in Nashville is the #1 party for songwriters who have achieved the milestone of penning a #1 song. Jaren recently celebrated his first #1 with "You Gonna Fly," recorded by Capitol artist Keith Urban. It was one of the funniest #1 parties I've ever witnessed. Stories were shared about the song's creation, the process of it getting recorded, and the writers' reactions to receiving a congratulatory call from Keith Urban himself. Thankfully, we have some of the party recorded...enjoy!
The Cadillac Black, or TCB as they are often referred to, comprises three native Nashvillians. Jaren is the lead singer/guitarist, with Kelby Ray on lap steel and Neil Mason on drums. The three guys self-produced the band's self-titled debut album, released on 4-20-12. In a strong twist of irony, the band released the album digitally on Nobody Buys Records.
The Cadillac Black just wrapped the last leg of the Cold Cans Tour opening for the Eli Young Band and Dierks Bentley. On stops in between, they opened for the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Charlie Daniels Band. The hot new trio was also tapped as an opener for Eric Church's Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour and for music legends ZZ Top.
The band has gained legions of fans for its loud & rocking live shows as well as turning the heads of music supervisors in the film & TV world. TCB has had songs on hit TV shows House, The Vampire Diaries, Greek, Hart of Dixie and numerous shows on MTV.
Jaren's talent, love and passion for authentic music transcend genres and proves why Nashville has earned its moniker: "Music City USA."

Oil prices fell to near $84 a barrel Tuesday in Asia as traders looked to the latest U.S. crude supply reports for clues about the strength of consumer demand for fuel.
Benchmark oil for December delivery was down 60 cents to $84.26 a barrel at late afternoon Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 2 cents to settle at $84.86 on Monday.
Crude inventories likely rose 1.2 million barrels last week, according to analysts surveyed by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos. The American Petroleum Institute plans to announce its inventory numbers later Tuesday while the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration reports its weekly supply data Wednesday.
A plunge in Asian stock markets Tuesday hurt crude trader optimism. China's benchmark index in Shanghai fell 4.0 percent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was down 1.4 percent.
Some analysts warn that if oil prices jump above $100 - crude rose to $147 in July 2008 - inflation in Asia would quicken, undermining economic expansion in the world's fastest growing region.
"Asia's economic engine is now so tightly wound that a spike in energy prices may well send inflation rocketing," HSBC said in a report. "All of Asia is vulnerable to a rise of crude prices."
In other Nymex trading in December contracts, heating oil fell 1.5 cents to $2.36 a gallon and gasoline slipped 0.4 cent to $2.19 a gallon. Natural gas held at $3.855 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude lost 42 cents to $86.34 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Deongelo Holmes Arrested: DUI Child Endangerment Among 7 Charges
Deongelo Holmes, aka D-Roc, of the Ying Yang Twins has been arrested June 1 for an astonishing seven separate offences. Holmes was stopped by Gwinnett County police and charged on various accounts, including driving while under the influence.
Holmes is likely to be punished strongly for his offenses, as when he was pulled over and found to be DUI he had two of his young children in the car with him. His kids are just 2 months and 3 years old.
According to reports Holmes was pulled over by officers when they saw his SUV weaving back and forth in the road numerous times. Officer Jake Smith allegedly came to Holmes' window expecting to smell alcohol on his breath, but was surprised to smell both alcohol and marijuana coming from the car.
The officer then proceeded to check the vehicle and found marijuana, Xanex, and the two young children in the rear – they were at least strapped in their car seats at the time.
According to Gwinnett County Detention Center the charges he is faced with are: Two counts of DUI child endangerment, one count each of DUI, possession of drug-related objects, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, and improper/erratic lane change.
Deongelo Holmes and Kaine Jackson form the Ying Yang Twins, who came to prominence with their hit party single "Salt Shaker."
Holmes was reportedly set bond of $13,500 and released later that day.

We brought our 1 year old daughter. She was more impressed with the Tampa Aquarium I think, mostly interested in the enclosures' gates and fences then the animals themselves. I think I'll wait until she's about 3 or 4 to visit again. Had fun though. A little pricey for the amount of interest my kid got out of it, but, it was a good day overall.

Extremely nice! One of the best I've gone to. The weather also was great, although very sunny, there are a lot of shady areas. The manatee section was awesome since they are in and out, not kept as prisoners. As they come, get better and healthy, they are released. The only bad comment I have is about the bears, I feel like they have been captive for too long that now they are losing their minds. I just feel bad, since they are waiting until they get better which I think letting them go is the only medicine for them since they are meant to be in the wild, not in a zoo. Overall, one of the best and highly recommended! 🙂
Kerry Wilkie
This zoo has such an amazing variety of animals. They have animals that most zoos do not. My children really enjoyed this zoo. There favorite was the orangutans!
Krista Torsell
Went on a Tuesday, we home school. It was surprisingly busy for a Florida Resident weekday trip. We paid $10 ea to get in and over 30$ for 2 slices of pizza, two – 3 pc. chix finger w/FFs, a bag of doritos, a med. soda and one beer. Employees were all very nice and professional. There were several closures – rides, exhibits and restaurants. We were a little taken aback by the closures and how "tired" the zoo looked. It needs some serious up keep. On a scale of 1 -10, we both agreed, we'd rate it a 5, but considering the Florida resident discount and the fact that the rides are included in the price, we couldn't complain. And we both agreed as far as over all look, updates, animals, atmosphere, etc., Jacksonville zoo is a far more favorable zoo with regards to three Florida zoos we have visited, living in the Central Florida area.
Anthony soto
Good animals, fun time, shows were cool and I had a great time visiting the zoo. Definitely coming back and recommend

Early and Recent History and Genealogical Records
of Many of the Representative Citizens
HIRAM H. WESTMORELAND. The lamented subject of this sketch, now sleeping the sleep in God's quiet acre, as the old Saxons referred to their burying grounds, was in life one of the best known agriculturists in North Campbell township, Greene county, he having been one of that worthy class of men who have fought their way to success through unfavorable environment; and a study of Mr. Westmoreland's life record reveals the intrinsic worth of a character which not only can bravely endure so rough a test but gain new strength through the discipline. He was not favored by inherited wealth or the assistance of influential friends, but in spite of this, by perseverance, industry and wise economy, he attained a comfortable position in life and left behind him what should be and is prized by his descendants--a good name.
Hiram H. Westmoreland was born on July 16, 1848, in Tennessee. He was a son of Henry Westmoreland and wife, who were born, reared and educated in the South and there resided until they removed with their two children from Tennessee to Greene county, Missouri, when the subject of this sketch was seven years of age. The father devoted his life to general farming and buying and handling live stock. He lived in Oklahoma for twenty years. His death occurred in 1909.
Hiram H. Westmoreland grew to manhood on his father's farm, where he assisted with the general work when a boy and he received his education in the common schools and in Boonville College; however, his higher education was interrupted by illness which compelled him to return home. After his recovery he resumed work on the homestead and for some time engaged in buying and selling cattle. He was still a young man when he took rank among the well-known stockmen of his community, and prior to the breaking out of the Civil war he frequently drove mules overland to Illinois and sold them. Finally he purchased a farm of his own in Campbell township, Greene county, on which he raised much stock, including brooded horses. About thirty years ago, Hiram H. Westmoreland, with several other Springfield men, went to Kentucky and purchased a thoroughbred horse known as General Duke. This horse proved a wonderful sire and from him sprang some of the best horse stock known in this part of the state. While there he also purchased Denmark King. This horse was a grand breeder and noted show horse. Most of our readers residing here remember a coal black saddle stallion, greatly admired by every one. He also purchased on the same trip a highly bred trotting stallion (Star Wilkes). That was the sire of some of the best road horses ever raised in Greene county, Missouri. Another stallion brought to this county by the subject was Diamond Denmark, who was high bred and had many admirers among our stockmen. These are names of but a few of noted horses Mr. Westmoreland owned and at that time his reputation as a breeder of fine horses was well established over all this part of the state. In later life he removed to Mountain Home, Arkansas, where he operated a stage line between that town and West Plains, Missouri, maintaining a station at Bakersfield where his drivers met and teams were changed. The stage line covered a little over fifty miles. Our subject also owned and operated a two hundred acre farm in Arkansas. Mrs. Westmoreland owns a fine farm, which now comprises three hundred and eighteen acres of productive and well improved land, the place being known as the "Model Dairy Farm," an extensive dairy business being carried on, for which the place is well equipped and adapted. This department is kept very sanitary and a high grade of cows are kept. A very ready market is found for the products in Springfield. A general farming business is carried on by our subject's widow, who is a woman of rare business ability. The old residence here was burned in September, 1896, but was immediately rebuilt, and a fine, modernly appointed and attractive home is now to be seen on the old site, about four miles northeast of Springfield. The dwelling is surrounded by a spacious and well shaded lawn and a generally attractive environment.
Mr. Westmoreland was married on November 13, 1873, to Susie E. Morton. She was born in Greene county, August 8, 1851, and is a daughter of the late Hon. John and Margaret (Logan) Morton, a well known and highly respected old family of this locality, Mr. Morton being now deceased, but his widow resides at the home of H. B. McDaniel in Springfield.
Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Westmoreland, named as follows: Joseph H born November 1, 1876, resides on a part of the old home place in Campbell township, engaged in general farming, raising and feeding live stock; he married Eva Litton and they have four children, Austin, Belle, Pauline and Robert: Lucinda W., born February 21, 1879, married Lee Hopper, a farmer in Campbell township, and they have five children, Fay, Donnie, Rolland, Louise and Ralph; Susie, born November 14, 1884, married Edward Baker, deceased, formerly of Mountain Home, Arkansas, and she makes her home with her mother; Ida, born November 24, 1889, married Blond Gurley, a well known dairyman of Campbell township; Hiram H., born September 19, 1894, is single and is living at home, assisting his mother operate the farm.
Mrs. Westmoreland is a woman of hospitality, kind and neighborly, well, read and she is an active worker in the Methodist Episcopal church, South, of which her late husband was also a member, in fact, the entire family are loyal in their support of this church. Fraternally, our subject was a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, also the Knights Templar. Politically, he was a Democrat and active in public affairs. He was a school director for some time, both in Arkansas and Greene county. He was a man of fine character and was honored by all who knew him. He was called to his eternal rest on March 1, 1903, his loss being deeply deplored by the entire community in which he was so well and favorably known.

I bought the app LCD Density modder pro, it comes with a modifed play store that reports your LCD Density at 240dpi to the market.
This fixes the "App not compatible errors"
I've been flashing a lot of ICS roms lately and I was sick of booting ICS, running LCD modded, installing the modded files, rebooting... etc.. etc.. so I made myself a CWM zip file that I just flash right after I flash a rom.
Even tho it's a personal file, I gave LCD Density modded all the credit. Although I know of other sources the show you how to do the mods yourself. I don't know if I'm allow to post the CWM zip file here for you guys to download, or even if you do in fact want to download it.
So, if it's ok for me to post the file, can a mod let me know? Please and thanks. I will post it in the main form for others and let you guys know where it's too.
whole lotta derpin goin on...
First: ask an intelligible question if you want a sufficient answer. I for one have no idea wtf the OP is asking exactly since he gave virtually no details.
Second: don't ask in development when you know you shouldn't! See first response....
Third: getting "pissed off" when no one answers is extremely lame and immature. Either no one knew the answer, or no one knew wtf you were talking about and didn't feel like playing 20 questions. See first response....

7 things that went down at the Golden Globes today
Did you miss the Golden Globes today?! Here is everything you need to know.

Meryl Streep tells it like it is
Meryl Streep became the Queen of the Golden Globes today after she criticised US President-elect Donald Trump in her speech. The three-time Oscar-winning actress said his actions legitimised bullying.
"This instinct to humiliate when it's modelled by someone in the public platform by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence."

"As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once: Take your broken heart, make it into art."
Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield kiss
While Ryan Gosling walked up on the stage to accept his Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy there was a sneak little kiss in the background.

Dev Patel, star of Lion, brought his little co-star Sunny Pawar out on stage and everyone's hearts melted. Check out the adorable moment…
Emma Stone's super awkward hug attempt
It's okay Emma. We've all been there. Just before La La Land's Damien Chazelle hit the stage to accept his award for Best Screenplay, Emma Stone hit him with an extremely awkward hug.
Ryan Gosling's emotional speech
Ryan Gosling has thanked his sweetheart Eva Mendes during his Golden Globes acceptance speech. Ryan Gosling won for Best Actor in a motion picture for his role in La La Land. During his speech he thanked his partner, Eva Mendes, for looking after his two daughters while he worked.
The actor also dedicated his award to Eva's late brother, who tragically lost his battle with cancer.
Brad Pitt gets his groove back
Brad Pitt receives a huge cheer of support from his Hollywood pals as he takes the stage at the Golden Globe awards. The actor made a surprise appearance at the awards where he introduced a clip from the film Moonlight.
This one of Brad's first appearance since he and Angelina Jolie announced their divorce.
"I shouldn't have been on stage"
Plus, she'll be coming back to Australia
Haters going to hate.
