Anna and the King
The king impresses. Anna does not. That in itself is remarkable because it is two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster who fails to reach beyond a pinched, repressed persona and make viewers believe that she is a match for any man. Whereas Chow Yun-Fat, enjoying the gorgeous silk designs of costumer Jenny Beavan, delivers a far more probing and revealing performance. Despite his efforts, this new version of British governess Anna Leonowens' adventures upon being hired by the King of Siam to educate his family eventually falls flat. True, the budget is on the screen it is a pretty movie but the mixture of familiar conflict from the 1956 musical "The King and I" and new drama involving a potential uprising is not a comfortable one. Director Andy Tennant never even accents the hypocrisy of Leonowens keeping Indian servants while trying to teach the king Western ways so that her fellow countrymen won't find him barbaric. Viewers never become involved, but the exotic locales and exquisite palace design, not to mention all those elephants, still make this grand eye candy.
PG-13 for some intense violent sequences. Tinseltown USA 17.
Any Given Sunday
Propelled by a rousing rap score, amplified deliverance of painful hits and an array of quick editing cuts that emphasize flash over substance, director Oliver Stone's cinematic indictment of professional football has no trouble generating adrenalin. Time and again, however, he overstates his case how many clips of "Ben Hur" must we endure as pro players are called modern gladiators? and the end result is a lengthy effort fueled by the cliches that football fans expect. There's the injured, aging quarterback (Dennis Quaid) who attempts to explain the importance of team play to the hotshot new star (Jamie Foxx). There's the aging coach (Al Pacino) resurrecting a time when honor was more important than money, his words falling on the deaf ears of young and ruthless team owner Cameron Diaz. There are wives compelling husbands to play hurt Stone still has trouble delivering female heroes and, of course, a finale centering on the big game that comes down to the last play in the closing seconds. Which is not to say that "Any Given Sunday" is not entertaining, but rather only that it has nothing whatsoever new to say.

Bicentennial Man
Science fiction author Isaac Asimov's influence does not stretch further than the revelation of a robot's three laws, and even this is played for laughs by Robin Williams and director Chris Columbus in a comedy that rarely works but never stops trying. Indeed, Columbus drags this soporific material out to an astonishing length, assuring boredom. Then again, Williams again takes an easy route, avoiding challenges by waddling about as a robot who appreciates humanity far more than do the humans around him. When he's not dropping one-liners that long ago traveled the international e-mail circuit or stopping to emphasize a sight gag, his character lectures about the importance of enjoying life, love and sex. The film consistently attempts to manipulate and fails at even that. How can tears be shed when the so-called comedy explores mortality and death without first charming or touching viewers emotionally? It is saccharine sci-fi played out at an excruciatingly slow pace, delivering very few laughs in the process.
PG for language and some sexual content. Tinseltown USA 17.
Blue Streak
Martin Lawrence attempts to carry the entire film himself, and the shell of a script and lackadaisical pacing allow him to turn too many scenes into standup comedy routines. The movie would have been funnier and more entertaining had Lawrence played an already cliched role, that of a crook masquerading as a decorated detective, straight. Funnyman Dave Chappelle's skills also are wasted here as a criminal who stumbles onto his buddy's disguise. Lawrence is a huge talent, but he was better costarring with Eddie Murphy earlier this year in "Life."
PG-13 for action violence, continuous language and some crude humor. Showplace 6.
The Bone Collector
This thriller opens like gangbusters, with a quadriplegic forensic expert putting suicide plans on hold so he can help police find a serial killer who taunts them with clues left at murder sites. Tension gradually dissipates, however. And when the chatty, unlikely killer finally is revealed, one feels like asking the filmmakers, "Is this the best you can do?" Why see the film then? Because Denzel Washington delivers another terrific performance, barely hiding fears and trying to maintain control without use of his arms and legs. Angelina Jolie also impresses as a policewoman whose street smarts find her reluctantly drawn into the world of forensics and homicides.

Deuce Bigelo: Male Gigalo (?)
NBC "Saturday Night Live" veteran yes, yet another Rob Schneider stars in this new comedy as a down-on-his-luck fellow who cleans fish tanks for a living. While fish-sitting a sick fish for a debonair, world-class male escort, he mistakenly answers the business phone and becomes Deuce Bigelow: male gigolo. The film's executive producer, by the way, is Adam Sandler.
R for sexually related material, language and crude humor. Tinseltown USA 17.
Double Jeopardy
The chemistry shared by stars Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones turns what is actually a rather mediocre movie into, at the very least, a watchable one. Mind you, potential plot surprises were given away in previews/advertising and a novice moviegoer could predict the ending. Just as bothersome are brain blips suffered by major characters who wind up overlooking clues, or making stupid decisions, for no good reason. Judd portrays a woman who, after being wrongly convicted of murdering her husband, is informed by a jailhouse lawyer that she can't be tried for the same crime and thus can legally kill her husband when she gets out. (Ladies, check with a real attorney before trying this at home. This IS a movie.) It's fun to watch Jones growl through the movie as a parole officer, but then, he's again chasing an innocent person wanted by the law. The "Fugitive" theme is getting old.

Down to You (?)
Several Oscar contenders have yet to arrive, and this movie opens on two screens? Freddie Prinze Jr. stars in this romantic comedy as a college student who strays upon meeting Selma Blair, who is cast as (I'm not making this up) an MIT graduate student turned porn star. Julia Stiles plays Prinze's girlfriend.

End of Days
Why worry about potential Armageddon when a flawed human can regain faith in God by holding off Satan (taking the human form of talented Gabriel Byrne) with automatic weapons and grenade launchers? Arnold Schwarzenegger portrays ex-cop Jericho Cane note the subtle initials who winds up having to protect the virginal Christine (another six-letter reference) from being seduced by the devil and giving birth to the Antichrist. You see, Christine has, unknowingly, been raised by devil worshipers intent on keeping her pure until Satan can do the nasty at the stroke of midnight on the New Year's Eve introducing a new millennium. "Is that Eastern Standard Time?" Cane asks for all of us wondering, receiving a dopey reply. Speaking of dopey, Rod Steiger hams it up as a priest explaining that the demonic symbol 666 actually is an upside down warning of the demon's arrival in 1999. (Don't ask about that 1.) Director Peter Hyams attempts to blind audiences to the silly writing with an array of explosions, gun battles, fireballs, gore, unsightly deaths and crucifixions and even a runaway subway, with an unnecessary sexual episode tossed in just in case Schwarzenegger is able to out-debate, out-duel and out-think Hades' hunk in heat.
R for intense violence and gore, a strong sex scene and language. Showplace 6.
The End of the Affair
Told very much in the style of 1940s romantic drama, with admittedly a bit more nudity, this second film translation of Graham Greene's 1951 novel is as much about fate as love. The early '40s, we're told, found a novelist played by Ralph Fiennes falling victim to the charms of a married woman (Julianne Moore). Not even bombs dropping from German planes onto the streets of London can deter the two lovers, at peace holding hands or intertwined. Yet in 1944, moments after both have declared love for one another and Moore her intention to divorce her husband, the mistress dumps Fiennes flat. He is tormented for years and, following a chance meeting with Moore's husband two years later, he is driven by jealousy to utilize circumstances in an effort to find out at long last why she decided to end their love affair. Director Neil Jordan uses a near-constant rain to create both atmosphere and foreshadowing, and costar Stephen Rea lends at least a semblance of dignity to his role of the cuckold. Moore's brilliant work is but her third Oscar-worthy performance in 1999, arriving on the heels of "An Ideal Husband" and "Magnolia."
R for scenes of strong sexuality. Cinemark's Movies 16.
Galaxy Quest
Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver go slumming the former in purposely bad reptilian makeup and the latter now a dyed blonde emphasizing cleavage in a science fiction spoof inspiring more smiles than laughs. Occasionally funny, occasionally sweet and often tedious, "Galaxy Quest" quite obviously is a takeoff on "Star Trek" and, more specifically, cast members whose questionable acting talent never discouraged fans from paying to see them in 20-year-old costumes at conventions. Tim Allen stars in the Shatner/Kirk-like role of the starship captain who is on a bender when he finally realizes that those asking him for help are aliens who have monitored the television program, mistaking it for historical footage. Soon, Allen and his crew are in outer space, fighting real villains with the fate of a species in their hands. It's a silly premise, funny for a while, but there aren't enough laughs to fuel a full feature film. Give screenwriters Robert Gordon and David Howard credit for cleverly assimilating the geeks/fans into the action.
PG for some action violence, mild language and sensuality. Tinseltown USA 17 and Cinemark's Movies 16.
Girl Interrupted
An unabashedly pretentious and predictable melodrama that boasts all the depth and emotional conflict of a mediocre TV Movie of the Week. Supporting actress Angelina Jolie delivers a strong, albeit certainly not Oscar-caliber performance, but even her work is swallowed up and overshadowed by a meandering screenplay and direction that drags out the inevitable to a boring length. Set in the '60s, the film centers on sad and confused Winona Ryder, who is convinced to admit herself into a New England psychiatric hospital. She is diagnosed there with Borderline Personality Disorder, an affliction with symptoms so ambiguous that any adolescent girl might qualify, yet even Ryder proves unable to find drama within confusion and cowardice. So instead, director James Mangold attempts to wring tears from the desperation of fellow patients who truly are mentally unstable, as well as tragedies that are telegraphed well in advance. Also treading water in this cinematic quagmire are Vanessa Redgrave as the hospital's head psychiatrist and Whoopi Goldberg as the caring, no-nonsense ward nurse.
R for strong language and content relating to drugs, sexuality and suicide. Tinseltown USA 17 and Cinemark's Movies 16.
The Green Mile
Film director Frank Darabont has taken themes inherent in Stephen King's 1996 serialized novel "The Green Mile" namely that evil possesses a crushing weight, that
magic can live in the most unlikely places and made the simple complex. That this 182-minute film possesses a magic of its own is apparent when more than one killer spending his final days on Death Row becomes a sympathetic character, when an often ugly adult film in which cameras never stray from an execution-gone-wrong still finds viewers dabbing at their eyes, feeling uplifted if not redeemed. When the bottom line is that Darabont's "The Green Mile" is an entertaining journey that manages to work despite encountering potholes in logic and taking a couple of unnecessary detours along the way. Prison guard Tom Hanks is again solid, never more effective, however, than near the end when he questions whether his own actions will make him face the "real dangers of hell." Doug Hutchison stands out as the bully with power, and Michael Clarke Duncan impresses as inexplicable prisoner John Coffey. Even taking every flaw into account, "The Green Mile" does touch the heart. Hardly what one expects from an adult prison film with gruesome deaths, and gifts both heartbreaking and miraculous.
Rated R for violence, language and sexually related material. Tinseltown USA 17 and Cinemark's Movies 16.
House on Haunted Hill
A B-movie with a few frightening jolts, a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, a few nifty performances and a number of obvious boo-boos how can five checks reappear when only four were written? this is solid enough to at least fit the bill for a Saturday matinee. Granted, the first half of the film is better than all that follows, but the opening is a dandy, with Geoffrey Rush shining as a designer of thrill rides love the roller coaster! who agrees to set up a Halloween party for his wife in a haunted house. Each hopes the other won't make it through the night. "House on Haunted Hill" is a remake of the 1958 horror film directed by William Castle and starring Vincent Price. The story: Five strangers are offered a fortune if they can spend one night in a house that was once an insane asylum run by a deranged doctor. What they don't know is the house is even more dangerous now. Oh, and Marilyn Manson's version of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is a perfect fit here.
R for horror violence, some sexual images and language. Showplace 6.
The Hurricane
SUBHEAD:Those shying away from "The Hurricane" with the assumption that it's just another boxing movie are missing the big picture and also one of the past year's most valuable and sparkling cinematic diamonds. The film biography of prizefighter Rubin "Hurricane" Carter is just as much a mystery, a detective story, a reflection of a nation's prejudice and an accounting of an imperfect man who, unjustly accused, transforms hate into nurturing bread and water until his walls crumble when touched by the words of a child. The story is a near-mythic battle for righteousness and truth, powerful material that, in the hands of director Norman Jewison, lures audiences into dark cells and dark times, allowing them to share hope and despair, reducing all to tears more than once via emotional conflict rather than manipulation. Fueling the film is Denzel Washington, delivering his finest performance to date in the title role. The actor, reflecting Carter's evaporating hope behind prison walls after being convicted of three murders he did not commit, embraces humanity more than his character's celebrity. Also impressing is Vicellous Reon Shannon as the Brooklyn-born teen-ager who unconsciously unleashes the gentility within a man surviving on hate.

A magnificent ensemble cast helps director Paul Thomas Anderson's highly experimental film "Magnolia" blossom into an epic that shakes the foundation of supposed coincidence and create a virtual family tree of lost souls striving for redemption. Tom Cruise lends marquee appeal, but he is but one piece of Anderson's fascinating jigsaw puzzle, a film that connects so many unlikely stories in plausible fashion that, by the time the truly outlandish literally falls from the sky, viewers are primed to believe that anything is possible. If anything, "Magnolia" succeeds in making grief, regret and doubt shared emotions. Human drama is played out in all quarters, and all Anderson tries to do here is connect the players. He explores a number of issues, some Biblical in tone, with reckless abandon. And while the language is profane, it stems from the filmmaker's view that so is any life where the lonely can realize, "I have so much love to give. I just don't know where to put it." The ensemble cast also includes Henry Gibson, April Grace, Luis Guzman, Philip Baker Hall, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Felicity Huffman, Ricky Jay, William H. Macy, Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly and Jason Robards.

Man on the Moon
Andy Kaufman probably would be this movie's biggest fan; he wanted to be indefinable, a comic who couldn't be trusted. And while Jim Carrey gives an eerily superior performance as the late Kaufman, neither he nor director Milos Forman comes close to defining what really made Kaufman tick. Mind you, Carrey re-enacts the highlights and low points from Kaufman's life, from his costarring role on television's "Taxi" to his antagonizing of the South as a whole and professional wrestling fans in particular. He nails the performance, whether asked to be sweet or mean. Audiences, however, keeps waiting for more. Also featured are Danny DeVito as Kaufman's manager and Courtney Love as a documentary filmmaker who falls in love with the comic. The real Kaufman died of lung cancer at age 33 in 1984. At least that's what the media reported; the movie prefers to play with the facts and the mind.

Next Friday (?)
This film opens right where the original 1995 comedy "Friday" ended with Craig (played by Ice Cube) returning to match wits with his nemesis Debo (Tommy "Tiny" Lister), a neighborhood bully bent on revenge. This time the action moves from the inner city to the suburbs with Craig moving in with his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) and his uncle Elroy (Don "DC" Curry). Once again, Craig must face forces beyond his control that will test his survival skills and commitment to family. Ice Cube wrote the screenplay. Direction is by Steve Carr.

Ron Shelton who wrote and directed "Bull Durham" (baseball), "White Men Can't Jump" (basketball) and "Tin Cup" (golf) renews his fascination with sports films. This time he has cast Woody Harrelson and Antonio Banderas as best friends and professional boxing rivals who have not worked in years. Then, out of the blue, they're given the chance of a lifetime: an undercard fight in Las Vegas. the job promises big money and a possible title shot, but the catch is that these broke boxers have to make their way to Vegas immediately and have to fight each other. Lolita Davidovich is the friend who has been a lover to both men.

Pokemon: The First Movie
A cinematic canine. Woof. Animation is at the same level seen in video arcades, on rare occasions rising to the level of a Saturday morning cartoon. Much of the film is devoted to a series of battles between original Pokemon and cloned super-Pokemon. Had the story included live action, or even serious animation, the violent theme might have been questioned. As it is, these fights just lengthen the lame footage and provide a lead-in to a final hypocritical anti-violence message. "Pokemon: The First Movie" is drawn in ugly, hurried fashion. Villains' sidekicks in other animated films evoke more emotion than do heroic children and any Pokemon in this movie. There is not an ounce of screenwriting wit and even the dubbing is preposterously bad. Calling "Pokemon: The First Movie" boring is being far too kind. Definitely 1999's worst movie. Oh, and be forewarned: The 89-minute Pokemon movie is preceded by a 22-minute Pokemon short subject.
G. Showplace 6.
Snow Falling on Cedars
Gorgeously photographed in the wintertime Northwest, where children find refuge and their hearts inside a hollowed out cedar tree while a gentle blanket of snow covers the entire forest, the film illustrates director Scott Hicks' appreciation for David Guterson's novel. The complex romantic drama finds Hicks, who last directed "Shine," relying on flashbacks and rapid cross cutting to illustrate the subtext of a murder trial. As youths, Ethan Hawke and Youki Koudo pledged to one another their love; ethnic differences, already a barrier, took precedence after Pearl Harbor was attacked and Japanese Americans were incarcerated in concentration camps in this country. Later, Koudo marries fisherman Rick Yune, who subsequently is accused of murder. Only newspaperman Hawke, still in love with Koudo, possesses information that could free her husband. In Hicks' hands, though, the reminder that a democratic country unjustly uprooted its own is as important as the courtroom drama still fueled by prejudice.
PG-13 for disturbing images, sensuality and brief strong language. Tinseltown USA 17.
Stuart Little
Cute, charming and charismatic, the title character can be credited to special effects wizard John Dykstra and actor Michael J. Fox, the latter providing the mouse's voice. Mind you, those who loved the book should be aware that the film takes a radically different, obviously more commercial approach. But while director Rob Minkoff's original take on a mouse adopted by a human family is geared specifically for younger viewers, there also are terrific supporting (mouse) characters and a dandy toy sailboat race in Central Park. Actors Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie and even Jonathan (the "Jerry Maguire" kid) Lipnicki all have thankless roles, overshadowed by the often amazing visuals. And the Bad Guys, all of them cats, provide most of the laughs. In fact, someone should have used "Stray Cats Strut" as background music whenever Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane), Monty (Steve Zahn) and the dangerous alley cat Smokey (Chaz Palminteri) get together.
PG for brief language.

Helmed by veteran action director Walter Hill who had his name removed from the credits, never a good sign this film chronicles the search and rescue patrol of a medical ship in deep space in the 22nd century. When their vessel answers an emergency distress signal, crew members soon find themselves in danger from the mysterious young man rescued, the alien artifact that he smuggles aboard and the gravitational pull of a giant star about to go supernova, described as the most massive explosion in the universe. The cast includes James Spader, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster and Lou Diamond Phillips.

Yet another example of a "Saturday Night Live" skit expected to hold one's attention throughout a feature length film. It just doesn't happen. Add to that the fact that the camera is not at all kind to Molly Shannon, capturing every age line as she attempts to portray Mary Katherine Gallagher, a student at a Catholic high school longing for popularity and a memorable kiss and hoping to find both by becoming a superstar at the school's talent contest.

The Talented Mr. Ripley
Call this a metaphor for the new millennium, a time when men and women hide behind screen names in e-mails and chat rooms, a time when so many of our best hope to find happiness and popularity by winning a million bucks on a TV game show. Indeed, author Patricia Highsmith definitely was ahead of her time when she wrote "The Talented Mr. Ripley." Matt Damon is a superb choice to play the lower class American who gets by on wit and forgeries; he is nothing less than creepy when imitating voices and, in a move more blatant than any in Highsmith's book, also shyly reveals his sexual nature. Damon portrays Ripley as a man seeking survival in another man's skin, quite willing to live the good life and hurt no one if only the police and his victims' friends would just stop hounding him. Jude Law is wonderful as an errant American playboy sowing his oats in Italy, the man to whom Damon becomes attached; Law one minute is carefree and the next viciously honest. Philip Seymour Hoffman makes the most of his screen time as a caustic member of the idle rich. Director Anthony Minghella, who propelled "The English Patient" to Oscar heaven, cleverly accents the lack of a "Ripley rainy day" by offering no closure. His movie is as chilling as the European sets are ravishingly beautiful.
R for violence, language and brief nudity. Tinseltown USA 17.
Toy Story 2
One of 1999's most precisely crafted works of art, "Toy Story 2" ranks with the decade's best animated family films and is that rare sequel that remains true to established characters and yet extends emotional boundaries. The film also is downright hilarious and it's a safe bet that, no matter what their age, every viewer will leave the theater feeling pretty darn good. On the surface, the story involves a rescue attempt. Woody is kidnapped by a toy collector, but Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the toys in Andy's room witness the crime and are determined to venture outside the neighborhood, find Woody and bring him home. This is fun stuff and director John Lasseter and the six others who helped with story and screenplay could have taken the easy route and left it at that. Happily, the sequel works on varied levels. The writing is brilliant, and the movement of the toys is astonishing. Lasseter's computer animation team does not let us forget wood, plastic and cloth; yet characters interact in smooth, believable fashion. Once again, Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are just right as the voices of Woody and Buzz, respectively. Joan Cusack also makes a strong impression as cowgirl Jessie. At heart, "Toy Story 2" is an exciting, funny, heartwarming, wonderfully detailed adventure. Subtext is an unexpected bonus.

International Falls girls basketball players suspended after locker room photos posted on Facebook
A photograph of three high school basketball players from International Falls posing in team gear with a stuffed giraffe named Chad resulted in a one-game suspension for the players in mid-January.
The offense: The picture was taken inside the girls' locker room and posted to Facebook.
The three girls were among about 20 with ties to the high school's sports teams who were given suspensions for using a camera inside the Falls High School locker room, according to some of the students' parents.
Some of the female student athletes were asked to fill out a questionnaire about whether they were involved with photographs taken within the locker room.
Those who had were given a one-game suspension. If the students said they weren't involved and administrators later found out that they had lied, the students were threatened with suspension of up to nine weeks.
"They started a witch hunt and targeted these female athletes," said Tami Renollet, whose daughter, Reva Renollet, had to sit out a varsity basketball game. "No males or anyone who is not an athlete. It seems ridiculous to me. It could have been handled in a positive way. They could have had an assembly to talk about the dangers of pictures."
Renollet said the administration's photo sweep came after a student posted a locker room photograph on Facebook that included a half-dressed student in the background. The parents of that student complained to the school's administration.
Calls to Superintendent Jeff Peura and Kevin Grover, the dean of students, were not returned. Athletic director Don Rolando said he couldn't comment.
Tami Renollet said there have been signs posted that say you cannot bring phones or cameras inside of the locker room, but that hadn't been enforced until now. And there is nothing in the student handbook or on the Minnesota State High School League's website suggesting a punishment for this particular infraction.
Kelly Gordon's daughter Sydney, a senior hockey player, was suspended one game for a photograph of her with some friends making a silly face -- inside the locker room. She wasn't upset her daughter got in trouble, but she questioned the enforcement of the sign outside the locker room door.
"They didn't know they were doing anything wrong," she said.
Gordon compared it to MSHSL rules for athletes caught drinking, where the punishment is established.
"If you get caught partying, you know you're going to get two games," she said.
Jenny Dougherty, whose daughter, Sophie Fredrickson, was in the photo with Chad the giraffe, said administrators and teachers knew there were cell phones in the locker rooms and that the girls were used as an example when they decided to enforce the rule.
"I think sometimes life isn't fair," Dougherty said. "It's maybe a good lesson. For my daughter, I said 'Take your one day suspension and move on. You're not going to get out of your one-day suspension.' The administration probably could have handled it better."

How the feminist claims about the New Mad Max film are not right, yet not altogether wrong
Three days before this year's Mother's Day, George Miller presented the world premiere of Mad Max Fury Road, the eye-opening 'reimagining' of his hero, Mad Max in L.A. This was no accident, as one of the strongest motifs in the film is, surprisingly, motherhood. Underneath the spectacular smorgasbord of blood, sweat, dirt and explosions, a current of maternal importance shimmers through. This maternal theme also lies under the veneer that self-important and insecure critics (not film critics, mind you) have tagged as "feminist" and "emasculating." These days, however, there is a thin line between machismo and homo-eroticism and it takes a humble and honest eye to tell the difference. The purpose of this is not to tread down that path but instead to recognize the legitimacy of, yet move beyond, the movie's feminist agenda. Fury Road is not a feminist film. It is a film praising femininity in its strongest form.
Certainly, there is an obvious effort in the film to improve the image of female heroes in the slog of summer popcorn action films. Prior to the film's release, the web was abuzz about the lack of respect for Black Widow, the Avengers' lone female teammate. Sitting in our seats, us men feel distantly sorry for Black Widow that she has to deal with "women problems." Us men can sort of understand that women, too, should use superpowers against inhuman villains to deal with emotional issues. Us men are indifferently satisfied with the resolution given her. And as we leave the theater, she does not seize the esteem or honor that should be due to such a killer character. As we view Fury Road and meet Imperator Furiosa and listen to her story, there is something different. There is no disassociated sympathy from the male audience. She has her agenda and we follow her set her own course, as opposed to Black Widow, who seems to follow along with what her male compatriots do. Furiosa does not command our attention by her vulnerability nor her bullishness, but rather by her leadership, her grit. There is no melodrama. Ending the second act, the film breathes for a few passing minutes as we simultaneously learn her backstory and discover how the journey will have to end (to go back the way they came?!). It moves the story along without playing at our heartstrings. So in a time where admirable female super heroes are too few and far between, Furiosa is admirable to both men and women audience. Yet, there is another reason for her transcendent quality.
Those criticizing Fury Road for its feminist agenda do not go far enough. This is not the feminism of liberal political talking heads or women's lib movements of the 90's. There is a specific type of woman being praised and highlighted in the movie. It isn't the gun-toating, oil-stained, lone wolf characterization that it is proclaimed to be. It is the graceful but tough female we all need and love. The film celebrates mothers. And it does so in a covert way. Although there are many mothers in the film, there is not one single frame of mother-child interaction. We have the mother of Max's son, the 'milk mothers,' the two pregnant slaves of Immortal Joe, the wife of Immortal Joe (who we can assume gave birth to his warrior son, Rictus Erectus), and finally, the Vuvalini Mothers that help Max and the gang. They all have their moments of strength. Interestingly, Max's wife's strength comes from her absence. She does not haunt Max like their son does because she does not need his redemption as much as their little one. The sickening sight of the milking machines applied to the grieving women reinforces the extent by which Immortal Joe's inhumanity can stretch. However, it also shows the length by which mothers can nurture the rest of humanity.
Coming to the collection of slaves that we know to be pregnant, they are tasked with the job of survival. They are the object of justice that the audience wishes to see. Miller most poignantly points this out in what is the seemingly obligatory shot of scantily-clad women hosing off in the hot sun. However, the teenage boys' gaze hits a wall with the shot of a full-term belly. At this moment we no longer view them as Megan Fox stand-ins for our viewing pleasure, but as victims that we, too, compassionately want to see arrive to safety. This victim motif now becomes inverted when (spoilers) one of them is taken back to Joe ("oh no!") and is killed, as is the baby ("oh… ok"). The future is impossible without maternal care and presence. It is as bleak and tumultuous as fury storms and the desert landscape on which they wreak havoc. Admittedly, there is little that can be revealed from the scene with Joe and his wife. I can only think about the stories found in One Thousand and One Nights, featuring a clever wife trying to withhold the destructive force of her husband's destructive power by lying to him. Again, this points towards the maternal instinct to protect - even if not literally her own daughters.
Finally, there are the Vuvalini Women. The remaining sisterhood of a tribe long wiped out. While the ability for survival is an obvious trait that these women possess, a stronger feature would be that of wisdom. They teach the younger women the importance of hope, they train them how to fight, and they guide them in the heat of the battle. They are not some anti-male, Amazon Warrior Brigade. They are the sole survivors of a familial genocide; grandmothers of a memory. Which brings us back to Furiosa. In one sense, she plays a mother to the slave women - carrying them to new life in the "belly" of her rig. But in a stronger sense, she is the least maternal of all the female characters. With her cyborg arm continually in full view, she may be the least human of any of the characters in the whole film. How can a such a hand caress? Along with Max, she serves as the outsider; the guide for the audience to experience various forms of mother affection.
In 2006's Children of Men, a miraculously pregnant woman is covertly escorted to a mysterious unseen land. Salvation was a land far away, not something that a good mother would recommend - to run from the problem. Salvation in Fury Road is to be strong, face your fears, and be confident. It is the baby that is held as an object of celebration.
There are other interesting notes that can be gleaned from my initial viewing. First, this theme of maternal nurtire can be observed in the relationship between Capable one of the slave girls and Nux, the aspiring War Boy. He fails embarrassingly in front of Joe and the rest of the army. He hides, ashamed, and is found by Capable. If this were another standard action film, the two would have become lovers. However, the story recognized that Nux does not need a girlfriend. He needs a mother. She comforts him, reassures him, and unconditionally cares for him. Some may see this slip into Freudian territory, but I choose to see the initial relationship solely as a maternal one that develops into a romantic one, not vice versa. The backstory to Doof (the guitar/flamethrower-wielding maniac) found in various pieces of literature tells that he is wearing an adult-sized crimson baby onesie, complete with an open butt-flap and all. Oh and BTW, he is wearing his mother's face as a mask! Although grotesque and morbid, it continues to show the underlying need in a world without motherly love. A need for peace, quiet, sufficiency, and tenderness. And what else can be said about Max washing his face in the mothers' milk? There was water on the other side of the tank, buddy. In a day where we find public breastfeeding increasingly offensive, this facial baptism reminds the viewer that it is natural - nay - necessary.
Mad Max: Fury Road had its wide release just five days after Mother's Day to celebrate moms. Scott Wamper of birth.movies.death found it reasonable to not only show his mother-in-law the film, but to post her review of it on the website. It resonates with us. This is not so much a film about masculinity vs. femininity as it is about paternal vs. maternal provision. Mothers give us hope, security, rest. The film extols not feminism, but femininity in its most powerful form: motherhood. Because motherhood, it shows, does not only compete with the testosterone-driven insanity of post-apocalyptic landscape, but it overpowers it, securing victory for the Cidadel people and providing life and sustainability for all. Moms empower each one of us; Miller wanted to return the favor. Whether we recognize it or not, motherhood (and its absence) girds the whole of Fury Road. Consider thanking your mom this week (it's never too late) by taking her to a movie she might just appreciate.

The ascent - I wouldn't call it climb - to Pizzo Catarinecci and the Contrada Trentamazze summit plateau is an easy affair when undertaken from Geraci Siculo to the east of the mountain. A short part runs across a road but most of the ascent is more or less trail-less. While not difficult the slope traverse from a Picnic Area at Pietra Giordano to the crest between Pizzo Argentiera and Cozzo di Raimondo is steep with many orchids and Affodils lining the way.
Once on the crest I would recommend the crest traverse, not only because of the views but mostly because it is rocky and thus noo bushes and brambles bar the way. The regular path crosses a plain, Piano di Raimonda, but ends between small bushes with lots of bugs to taste your blood. We went both ways and the crest traverse - while sometimes a bit exposed - was much preferrable.
Also the tour around the Contrada Trentamazze can be recommended. There are no trails - you need none - just scramble from summit to summit until you come back to Pizzo Catarinecci. Re-climb it to return via the crest - and not the bushes.
Getting ThereThe approach has been described on the main page. From the trailhead near the castle of Geraco Siculo follow a road for about 800m. In a right turn of the road you'll find a narrow valley through which the asent starts. Alternatively you can follow the road to its end. There a dirt lane heads right on and finally leads to the Pietra Giordano picnic area.
Route Description
- Start altitude: 1011m
- Summit altitude: 1660m
- Prevailing exposure: E
- Type: 10min on a road, 2 1/2h along trail-less terrain
- Protection: unprotected
From the trailhead start to ascend the left slope of the valley. What path there is soon cuts through the valley and steeply climbs the other side, zigzagging more than once. Once up on the slope you will come across some tire tracks which lead from right to left. Follow these to the left. They will come to an end in front of a small slope where there is a sign leading to the picnic area which is only a couple of hundred meters away.
Through a bizarre area, strewn with sandstone blocks the route heads westwards and soon starts climbing again, up a slope towards a break between Cozzo di Raimonda and Pizzo Argentiera on the crest. Take in the Madonie panorama as you head out on the crest.
Now follow this crest. It heads up Cozzo di Raimonda, a long stretched summit, then descends only to head up the Pizzo Catarinecci northern slopes. Try to aim a little west of the summit to avoid the menacing bushes and brambles.
For the tour around Contrada Trentamazze better head down the summit on its western side, follow the creek that springs in the middle of the contrada, then turn east for the next summit. From there just scramble from top to top until you reach Pizzo di Corvo. There turn back towards Pizzo Catarinecci, which you re-climb for the crest traverse back home.

The NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini Huygens mission to Saturn, which has already delivered stunning images and data of the ringed planet following insertion into the Saturnian system on 1st July this year, is poised to enter a crucial stage in its voyage of scientific discovery. In the early hours of Christmas morning [25th December], the Huygens probe will separate from the orbiter - its' home for the last seven years - to parachute down through the nitrogen-rich atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, where it will come to rest, though the exact nature of its final resting place remains a mystery. Scientists speculate that Huygens may find lakes or even oceans of a mixture of liquid ethane, methane and nitrogen.
Prof. John Zarnecki of the Open University, principal scientist for the Science Surface Package, the first instruments to make contact with Titan's terra firma is open minded. "It's a distinct possibility that I could be the very first scientist to carry out oceanography on an outer planet of the solar system. But equally the probe could land with a thud on hard ground or squelch into a morass of extraterrestrial slime - no one knows for sure. In any event, the instruments onboard have been designed to handle a range of possibilities. Let's just say that, after a seven year voyage and twenty years of planning, design and build, I will be extremely pleased to land, whatever the surface."
Following separation from the mothership, Huygens will coast unguided and unpowered for 20 days towards Titan, where it will arrive on the 14th January [2005] to begin its entry and descent to the moon's surface. Travelling at Mach 2 [1522 mph], the probe will enter Titan's atmosphere at an altitude of 1270km [789 miles] and decelerate to an impact speed of 5 meters per second - the equivalent to jumping from a chair onto the ground.
Commenting on the mission Professor Ian Halliday, Chief Executive of the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council [PPARC] that funds UK involvement in the joint NASA/ESA/ASI project said, "Superlatives can come easy when talking about space missions but this particular voyage of scientific discovery is truly awesome. Huygens will be the furthest man-made object to land on a remote celestial body and, whilst the science returns from Titan are eagerly awaited, we shouldn't forget that the European Huygens probe is totally controlled by UK developed systems and hardware. At a distance of almost 1.3 billion km [789 million miles] that's quite a feat."
Professor Halliday added, "Titan is a mysterious place and raises many scientific questions. Its thick atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, but there are also methane and many other organic compounds. Some of them would be signs of life if they were on our planet. Organic compounds form when sunlight destroys methane. If sunlight is continuously destroying methane on Titan, how is methane getting into the atmosphere?"

Auto-Settlement May Be Left Out in the Cold
As discussion of the impacts of NCUA's recent memo outlining termination dates for various services offered by U.S. Central Bridge grows in the industry, one deadline has generated heated discussion–and worries–on the part of some credit union leaders. That is auto settlement, a comparatively obscure wholesale settlement service where U.S. Central Bridge acts as a kind of middleman between large vendors (ATM networks for instance) and corporate credit unions and, in turn, their members. Nothing comparable exists in the traditional banking world, said sources, and finding replacements by the May 31 termination date set by NCUA is proving to be a challenge.
"While Dec. 31, 2012 may be enough time for the ACH conversions, the May sunset date for auto settlement will be a challenge unless the entire platform can be sold to a third-party," said Thomas Bonds, CEO of Corporate America.
At Catalyst, Vice President Amy Fuller said, "This will be a challenging transition as it does not exist elsewhere in the market."
Alloya, for its part, issued this statement to its members, "Alloya stands ready to work with national originators if they desire to create a direct relationship with Alloya. If a direct relationship is not feasible, then Alloya will help facilitate the transition of the payment activity between the vendor and Alloya's member credit unions to ACH settlement and/or template wires."
At Lending Tools, the Wichita, Kan.-based provider of various payments solutions, CEO Eric Goering said, "This shutdown will be stressful for some corporates. It will be a big deal."
He optimistically added, "It will get figured out."
What is also known is that different corporates will fare differently depending upon exactly how much use they made of U.S. Central's auto settlement services.
The chief financial officer of one corporate–who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the topic–indicated he believed that, for many credit unions, the only real impact will be that "they need to fill out a lot more paperwork and it may cost them more, but settlement will get done."
The NCUA, when asked about complaints regarding the May shutdown of auto-settlement, indicated it had no comment. The NCUA did indicate, however, that it had no plan to sell auto settlement to a third party.

Coming out of nowhere, U55ndash; END OF THE LINE not only has reached over 1,200 backers on Kickstarter, gathering more than 58.000 USD but also receiving a huge reaction from horror fans and gamers alike.nbsp;The game managed to draw massive media attention from all over the world, being featured on gaming's largest international websites like Kotaku, IGN, Gamona and Gamer's Hell, with them quickly responding to U55's unique vision of a modern-day survival horror set in the Berlin subway accompanied with binaural beats.
The true success ofnbsp; U55ndash; END OF THE LINE sound gaming concept was proven one more time, when the title received an approval for Steam Greenlight after a scrutiny time of only 18 days.
ldquo;We are very thankful for everything our fans did for us, we never thought that we could receive so much attention and so much positive feedback in so little timeldquo; says Malte M. Boettcher, U55's creative director.ldquo;Most games on Steam Greenlight receive an average mark of 50% and get lost in the shuffle. In our first week, we have reached an incredible score of over 80%. The quick approval on Greenlight is a sign that we have hit the bullseye of what dedicated core gamers want to see. For a project like ours, this is an overpowering success.ldquo;
About Effective Evolutions
Effective Evolutionrsquo;s team is made up of industry legends, with credits for games such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2, CommandConquer: Tiberium Alliances, Syndicate and Bulletstorm.nbsp;nbsp; U55-END OF THE LINE has been voted on Steam Greenlight as the most successful video game project of the week.ldquo;We are completely amazed at how well people from all over the globe react to our project of a Lovecraftian horror game. With the immense amount of support we have received so far, we have the chance of becoming the most successful game ever presented at Steam Greenlightldquo; states Patrik Muuml;ller, Effective Evolutions' executive director.

I press the A button on the NINTENDO GAMECUBE WIRELESS CONTROLLER and it goes back to the main menu which SHOWS that it IS detecting the controller. Also, the channels are set correctly to mach with the receiver and the controller and the light flashes on the receiver connected to the Wii whenever a button is pressed (which is normal) and my batteries are 100% brand new.

I had been searching around for an SFTP client that could be used for automated file transfers. I came accross WinSCP, gave the site a good read-through, and downloaded. After spending a fair amount of time installing, learning, configuring WinSCP, then writing scripts and created scheduled tasks, I discovered it couldn't run non-interactively i.e could not be used for automated file transfers.
Only after I'd spent some time going through this support forum, did I confirm this was by design.
May I recommend that you update the section on product documentation on using command-line parameters ; though not explicitly saying, it does give one the impression that automated transfer is possible.
Just trying to help out the next guy, so he doesn't end up wasting as much time on this as I did!
But thanks for putting such a great product out there, I'm looking forward to using it some more.

Someone I know did it, and doesn't think it was worth it because he "doesn't see the wear it's preventing." When you see a bag starting to show signs of wear and abrasion on the bottom after a few months, then you plasti-dip it, and don't see the material showing through the plasti-dip for well over a year, you'll appreciate it then.
Good point! I will watch for wear, then Plasti-dip to protect my costly investment!

7x57 vs 7mm-08
Is this what the phrase 'new and improved' means? I've been trying to get some info on the differences, similarities, of these calibers and find both are versatile, accurate, and effective. Performance doesn't seem too different. So, which would you pick and why?

The advantage of the 7-08 is it fits into modern short systems, giving it a theoretical accuracy advantage. The 7x57 has been chambered in millions of rifles, so you will still find ammo when people ask 7mm oh what?
I personally am a 7x57 guy, but that's because it was my first real rifle.
I used to love being able to hit hard at 1000 yards. As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.

Rifle choices would be the reason to pick the 7mm-08Rem.
The only 7x57 in current production I can think of is the Ruger No.1.

Basically it's like comparing the .30-06 to the .308.
The 7x57 has a bit more case capacity so it can be loaded a tad hotter.
Long action vs short. Not a big deal imho.

7mm fan
I like the ballistic coefficient of 7mm bullets (read-they fly really good)
I have two Spanish mausers in 7x57(mauser) dated 1931 & 1932, they still
shoot pretty decent for eighty year old guns (2"-3" @ 100 yds).
As for the 7mm-08, it is loaded to higher pressures and is extremely accurate,
it is also available in at least a dozen lightweight rifles, and recoil is very tolerable even for those small in stature.
The 7mm-08 will take deer, bear, and elk as well as many other game animals
in the hands of an accomplished shooter. However if you need(or want) more
power, the .280 Remington or 7mm Remington mag are also great rounds in
the 7mm stable. In my opinion you would definitely not be undergunned with
the 7x57 mauser or the 7mm-08. Good luck!

Same same, either way you go. I am a 7X57mm guy, I like the cartridge a lot, have had several rifles in that chambering (just bought a Rem 700 Classic so chambered last year) and undoubtedly will have many more. 7x57mm is 120 years old now, it was one of the first truly modern cartridges ever (you ought to read the history of the development, it was quite scientific). 7mm-08 was introduced about 25 years ago to replicate the performance of the 7X57 in modern action proportions, and it is a fine cartridge as well. Biggest difference is the 1/4" of case length.
If I were to pick, a 7-08 would be appropriate in a Rem 700, a 7X57 would go well in an Oberndorf Mauser Model B. OK, OK, a Winchester Model 70. There! Happy?

They are simply two different roads to the same destination. It's all in the route that suits your tastes.
May a person who is relocating out-of-State move firearms with other household goods? Yes.

IMO,as has been said,they both are fine choices and do the same job.
If you are building on a Mauser,the 7x57 is quite at home.They were made fore each other.
If you are building on an action designed around the 308 case,go 7-08.

In a strong, modern rifle, the 7x57 has a slight edge over the 7mm08 but it's slim until bullets weigh over 150 grains. Similar to the ballistics comparison of the 6mm Rem and 243 Win(same cases, diff caliber).
I have rifles in both cartridges and they are basically the same with medium game type bullets. I second the idea of using the 7x57 in Mausers since their mag and feed lips are designed for this cartridge size/shape.

A lot like the .243/6mm Remington. I have both. .243 in a 99 Savage and 6mm Rem on an Arisaka action. I agree with the others, it is about the rifle the cartridge is capable of feeding. I have a 7x57 on an Arisaka action and if I had a 7mm 99 Savage it would be (Not counting my 7-30 Waters) a 7mm-08. A lot of bolt actions will not feed the longer cases either. Like some of the others I prefer the longer cases, but it is just that. There is really not much difference.

7 X 57 in old military actions
such as M93, M95, M96, are limited by the weakness of those actions (some of which is due to weak metallurgical qualities of the steel used), so that your max velocity suffers. This leaves you about 200 fps lower MV than the 7-08, comparing factory ammo for both rounds.
But, in a modern, strong action, the 7X57 can be hand loaded to the same pressures as 7-08 SAMMI specs, with the result being about 100 fps more MV than the 7-08.
So, if you don't want to bother with hand loading, or the slight velocity gain isn't worth it to you, the 7-08 is your choice.
But, then again, if 2,660 fps MV is good enough for you (in a 139/140 grain bullet weight), then the 7X57 has such a soft recoil you can hardly feel it.
Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be but a vulgar brawl.

The 7X57 was the first successful modern cartridge developed in 1893. When US troops came up against Spanish troops carrying 7X57 rifles they knew we were way behind with our military weapons. Rather than adopting the German design, they simply took the 7X57 case and enlarged it to .30 and stretched it slightly longer to make the 30-03, which was very slightly modified 3 years later to become the 30-06.
Years later the 30-06 was basically shortened to make the 308. The 308 case has been necked up and down to make the 243, 260, 338 Federal and the 7-08.
When the 308 was necked down to 7mm the round had come full circle. After 100 years, the 1st successful smokless powder round had been re-invented. The 7-08 can be loaded in a true short action, but there have been a few 7X57's over the years loaded in some short action guns although most are in long actions. A 30-06 requires a long action.
A 7X57's case length is exactly 1/2 way between a 30-06 and the 7-08, but ballistically the 7X57 and 7-08 are equal. Actually if you stay within book loads the 7-08 is a little faster with equal bullet weights, but not enough to matter. That is why I said it is like comparing a 30-06 to a 30-06.
Picking one over the other is personal preference. Factory loaded 7X57 ammo is probably loaded on the light side, but with handloads it's about a tie. I see more of a selection of facory loads in 7-08 in stores if that is important. A 7-08 wil be in a short action, while most 7X57 guns will be in a long action.
If you handload, and are willing to push the envelope and load rounds above book loads, the greater case capacity of the 7X57 will get you more performance.

I can't imagine anyone has not heard of the venerable 7x57(7mm Mauser), it's only been around for something like 114 years.

My M 95 Chilean Mauser is chambered in 7mm Mauser (7X57) and it's 117 years old. I had it at the range last week and was hitting a softball sized reactive target (some kind of self healing polymer ball) at 100 yards even with the tiny rear notch and my aging eyes. Older rifles like this are why factory ammo is not loaded too hot. In fact, this rifle is old enough that it's classified as "Antique non-firearm" by the BATFE. It still shoots pretty darn good for a "non-firearm" if you ask me.
My Mausers, 7mm Chilean top, 6.5mm Swedish bottom. The M 96 Swede was made in 1905.
The "Manufactura Loewe Berlin" dates this one to 1895.

PHILADELPHIA — Cubs reliever Kerry Wood has been in some pressure situations before, winning two games in the 2003 NL division series.
But manager Dale Sveum said Wood may not immediately return to the setup role when he returns from the disabled list in a few days.
"Just to take a little stress off the whole situation, when he first comes back, we'll possibly just move him into the seventh-inning role and see what happens," Sveum said.

Three Women to be Enshrined in Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum Hall of Excellence
Nancy dosReis
Cathy Gerring
Krissy Wendell
In fact, three women will be honored with enshrinement in the Little League Hall of Excellence at the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum before the Little League Baseball World Series championship game on Aug. 29. The enshrinement is part of Little League's celebration of the 30th anniversary of its decision to admit girls into the program.
The enshrinees are Krissy Wendell of Brooklyn Park, Minn., Cathy
Gerring of Fort Wayne, Ind., and Nancy dosReis of Smithfield, R.I.
"As with all enshrinees in the Hall of Excellence, these three individuals have become role models not only for girls, but for all children," said Stephen D. Keener, president and chief executive officer of Little League Baseball and Softball. "They embody the three words in the Little League motto: character, courage, and loyalty."
Ms. Wendell, the first girl to start at catcher in a Little League Baseball World Series game, played in Williamsport in 1994 for Brooklyn Park (Minn.) American Little League, and went on to become one of the best women's ice hockey players in U.S. history. She led the U.S. Olympic Women's Hockey Team to a silver medal in the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, and in 2004 she won the most outstanding player award in the NCAA Division I Women's Hockey Tournament as a member of the national champion University of Minnesota team.
Ms. Gerring played baseball in the Times Corners Little League of Fort Wayne. After earning All-America honors in golf at Ohio State University, she became a professional golfer in 1983, winning three events on the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour, and she climbed to No. 4 in tour winnings in 1990. Severe burns from a 1992 accident and a serious head injury in a 2002 fall dealt setbacks to her career, but she has battled back each time to play golf professionally again.
Ms. dosReis, a detective in the Providence (R.I.) Police Department, played softball for six years in the North Providence West Little League, and was a member of her league's world championship team in the 1979 Little League Softball World Series, played in Waco, Texas. Detective dosReis, who earned a master's degree from Roger Williams University, made national headlines in 1996 when she and her K-9 partner were credited with the arrest of a convicted murderer who had escaped from a maximum-security prison.
The enshrinement is the culmination of Little League's celebration of the fact that more than 5 million girls have received the benefits of playing Little League in the past 30 years. The 2004 Little League Baseball World Series begins on Friday when Maria Pepe of Hoboken, N.J., throws out the ceremonial first pitch in pre-tournament ceremonies scheduled for 11 a.m. at Little League Volunteer Stadium.
Since 1951, Little League rules had prohibited girls from playing. But
in 1972, Maria tried out for and was placed on a team in the Hoboken
(N.J.) Little League. She played in three games, then was compelled to
leave the Young Democrats team.
Little League eventually admitted girls to the program in 1974 when local Little Leagues in New Jersey were told they must allow girls to try out. Little League not only allowed girls to play in its baseball programs, but created a softball program for girls only. Today, nearly 500,000 girls play Little League Baseball and Softball.
Established in 1988, enshrinement in the Little League Hall of Excellence is conducted annually for a Little League graduate (or graduates) who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in their chosen profession and exemplify the values learned as children in Little League Baseball. Hall of Excellence enshrinees are selected through a defined voting system by the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum Advisory Board.
Mr. McGovern saw the need for a physical structure to tell the story
of Little League. To that end, he spearheaded the development of the
Little League Museum. Opened during the 1982 Little League World
Series, the museum is located on the Little League International
complex. It was renamed in Mr. McGovern's honor upon his retirement in
Little League Baseball and Softball is the world's largest organized youth sports program, with nearly 2.7 million players and 1 million adult volunteers in every U.S. state and scores of other countries.

all there!please help me!
all there!please help me!
I'm sorry, you seem to be misinterpreting the purpose behind these discussion boards. Don't double post on separate boards. There are plenty of us who go over all of the boards looking at threads. When someone who understands how to answer the question in a post finds it, they will answer, have some patience. By double posting all you will do is annoy the regulars who are most likely to find your question, understand it, and respond to it. Also, these boards are here to help people who have questions about what they are doing or general technical questions. The way you are posting is giving off the attitude that you expect to post the code along with what you want, and have someone else completely do it for you. That's the wrong attitude to have here. I hope I have helped clear any confusion you may have had.
well i was recommended to post here instead cus it might have more success as it would be more realted in here than the gaming zone....and rather than copy/pate the same thread here again i saw it easier to post the link for others to direct themselves to it......
i dont mean to be rude in any way...i dont have the knowlege to make a new one that could work so like many have accounts for their money i am asking u alot as we cant all do everything........

History was made last night as the Louvre played host to a fashion show for the first time in its history. While other designers have shown their collections outside in the courtyard, Salvatore Ferragamos resort show was staged inside the museum. The Florentine fashion house are currently sponsoring an exhibition of Leonardo da Vincis La Sainte Anne, which granted them access to the coveted show space.
Pictured: A model walking in the Salvatore Ferragamo resort 2012 show
Among the esteemed guests was Bazaars editor Jenny Dickinson, who gave us the inside scoop on the exclusive events. Guests were treated to a private view of Leonardos Sainte Anne before the show, she explained, which meant that we could appreciate the way in which creative director Massimiliano Giometti had designed a collection in sympathy with the natural stone hues of the museum.
Indeed, the resort collection borrowed heavily from its surroundings, featuring craftwork techniques including leather latticework, crochet and lace-up detailing.
For once, the weather proved a stimulant rather than a hindrance, too: With the rain descending relentlessly yards away from our seats (Ferragamo had thoughtfully left scarves for every guest on the benches) the feeling of being immersed in nature affected all the senses.
It wasnt all plain sailing however, with the 120-metre runway under the Denon arcade causing a few hazards: Some of the ultra-slim fitting skirts caused a slight model-jam on the lengthy runway, but seasoned professionals such as Karolina Kurkova were completely unphased.
All-in-all a heart-warming spectacle, this was a resort show with a difference, especially in terms of the guests.
Very much still a family business, it was lovely to see a number of wide-eyed children stood behind the editors, drinking in the spectacle. Their expectations have been set high.

OK, I had something else scheduled to write about today, but then I saw the following video from MSNBC's show with Melissa Harris-Perry. Hers is the profound mind that thought wearing tampons as earrings in order to support late-term abortion was a great idea. She is also the one who declared that children don't belong to their parents, but to the broader community.
But even she has sunk to a new low. Here she mocks Mitt Romney's black grandson. It is so patently racist and hateful that I can hardly believe it, except that it spews from the mouths of liberals, which is exactly what we've all come to expect from the far left.
Have a look and let me know what you think:
Update: Melissa Harris-Perry actually apologized on Twitter with the following:
I apologize to all families built on loving transracial adoptions who feel I degraded their lives or choices. As black child born into large white Mormon family I feel familiarity w/ Romney family pic & never meant to suggest otherwise. Therefore, while I meant no offense, I want to immediately apologize to the Romney family for hurting them.Will she apologize on air?

Quantum confinement ups optical-film efficiency
Post a comment
In the new design, a polarized organic molecule's donor and acceptor ends are connected by an organic bridge consisting of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur atoms that form interspersed ring structures to confine the electrons passing through them. With the electrons thus confined, interference from electron wave reflections is minimized, thereby enhancing efficiency.
The current design has just one quantum confinement cell within the chromophore molecule, but Kuzyk claims his group's theoretical models predict that more quantum confinement areas would result in even greater efficiency. Consequently, next the researchers plan to cascade quantum-confinement cells back-to-back.
The ability to hyperpolarize the new material, according to Kuzyk, enables its molecules to deform as they mediate the merger of two photons into one, opening the door to all-optical switches. Thus the researchers are working to embed the chromophore material into an optically clear polymer that could be formed into a thin film for making and testing optical-chip designs.

Google Moon won't give you driving directions or the nearest restaurants, the types of information available with Google Maps and Google Earth. But the lunar tool lets you zoom and move around - to the extent NASA has provided images for those areas.
The feature at http://moon.google.com also shows the locations of all six Apollo moon landings. Click on one to get the date and astronauts involved.
Google jokes that by July 20, 2069 - the 100th anniversary - the company will integrate its local search product with Google Moon, so users can find out about lunar businesses and other moon-related information. It also says it is opening a lunar research center by 2007, though applicants must be "capable of surviving with limited access to such modern conveniences as soy low-fat lattes, The Sopranos and a steady supply of oxygen."
And if you still don't think engineers have a sense of humor, try zooming in all the way. You'll discover that the moon, indeed, is made of cheese.

Boil the water and cook the macaroni for about 7 minutes. It will still have a pretty firm bite as it will continue to cook as you finish the recipe.
Drain the pasta and run some cool water over it to stop the cooking and to help keep it from sticking together. Return the pot to the stove and add the butter. Add the flour when the butter has melted
Cook the roux for a few minutes over medium heat being careful not to darken the roux.
Add the milk while whisking and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for about 5 minutes to cook out the flour.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the potato chips and mix well. If all the cheese has not melted yet it will during the baking process. Fold in the pasta.
Top with potato chips and bake at 375 til bubbly. About 20 minutes.

Record labels have been cleaning out their vaults for a decade trying to cash in on the CD market, and still there's no end in sight. The summer has brought another windfall of reissues, some of which call attention to bands that never quite got their due, while others try to milk big names with dubious repackagings. The more notable releases include:
P.I.L., "Plastic Box" (Virgin): John Lydon's post-Sex Pistols project sounds even more potent today, the band's experiments with found-sound, dub-style production and noise on its first three records eclipsing the efforts of contemporaries who aspired to a similar "edginess." The opening volley, "Public Image," rides Keith Levene's tidal-wave guitar, a sound later appropriated to great commercial effect by U2 guitarist The Edge. But on the second half of this overly generous four-disc package, Lydon's bite is reduced to a snarl as he indulges in imitation metal and transparent attempts at writing a hit single ("This Is Not a Love Song").

The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) plans to assist municipalities in providing waste receptacles for recycling to households as part of its National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS).
The NWMS advocates for separation at source and aims to promote waste reduction, reusing, recycling and recovery of waste. It also intends that all metropolitan municipalities, secondary cities and large towns should establish separation at source by 2016.
The DEA has issued an expression of interest for companies to supply a three-bin recycling system, which would be distributed to households. The bins should be separate or separable to allow for individual units to move independently and have different colours to distinguish between wastes, or have the same colour with different lid colours.
Further, the DEA specified that each bin should have a 50 ℓ capacity and must be robust and sturdy to withstand knocks and rough treatment. The bins must also be stable and unlikely to topple over, while it must be lightweight and easy to move on wheels.
DEA spokesperson Albi Modise told Engineering News Online that local procurement for the materials would play a role, as all procurement processes undertaken by government follow the Public Finance Management Act and the procurement process of the Department would be followed.
"We are also looking at locally based companies that can supply the required bins as the specifications stated," he noted.
Modise concluded that the DEA was looking for funding streams for the supply of these bins, from local and international investors.
