Unless you have a young boy at home, it's possible that Ben 10, the shape-shifting teen superhero, has flown completely under your radar. Unlike the other costumed heroes in the Cartoon Network stable — Batman, Green Lantern, Teen Titans — Ben 10 launched without an existing fan base or brand awareness, the Jeremy Lin of the superhero set.
Just seven years after the animated series first aired on Cartoon Network, "Ben 10" is now the network's top-selling franchise, setting ratings records and selling billions of dollars' worth of show-related merchandise. At a time when studios struggle to relaunch and reboot long-running comic book properties, Ben 10 is the first new superhero in recent memory to have this sort of breakout success.
On Monday, Cartoon Network kicks off "Ben 10 Week," culminating next Friday with the premiere of the new CGI movie "Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens." This is one of those rare franchises that business people like to call "marketing juggernauts," the sort that rate their own sections in your local Toys R Us. The consumer products line is a $3-billion business worldwide; if one were so inclined, a fan could spend much of his or her waking hours collecting the action figures, playing the video games, or fiddling with their Omnitrixes, the wristwatch-like devices that transform Ben into a host of superpowered aliens. In last year's list of the top 125 global licensors, Cartoon Network, at No. 24, handily beat Fox, NBCUniversal, Lego, NASCAR and a host of others, largely on the sales of Ben 10 products.
And then there's all the programming. Since the first series aired in 2006, "Ben 10" has spun off three animated TV shows and two live-action made-for-TV movies; a feature film by Joel Silver is in development. The show picked up its second Writers Guild of America nod this year — the only episode in its category from a series not created by Matt Groening.
The show's creators, the New York-L.A.-based development company Man of Action Studios, came to Cartoon Network with little more than a name, "Ben to the Tenth," along with a hazy idea of a kid who could transform himself into 10 identities. Cartoon Network executives, including Tramm Wigzell, the network's vice president of action adventure, toyed with having different versions of Ben in alternate dimensions; later, they thought he could become 10 superheroes, in the vein of the 1960s DC comic "Dial H for Hero."
"It was a long 2½ years," Wigzell says. "We had a lot of people come in and take cracks at it, trying to break the code."
One of the few constants was that Ben 10 had to be a kid, not a grown man in tights and cowl.
"By having a young hero, you create someone that kids can identify more strongly with," says Charles Solomon, an animation expert and professor at UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television. "He does cool things and has adventures, but he's still a part of their world and someone they can relate to. What fun is it to have a 45-year-old man with an Omnitrix?"
And then the idea hit: aliens. In the premiere episode of the first series, Ben Tennyson finds an extraterrestrial gadget in the middle of the woods that allows its wearer to morph into any number of fantastical creatures: a giant dog-like beast with gills on his neck, say, or a dragonfly-like bug who shoots poison out of his eyes and mouth. It's the sort of good, not-so-clean fun that would appeal to any 10-year-old.
Of course, there are limits to what a 10-year-old boy can do, which may explain why Ben 10, unlike so many of his animated peers, has been allowed to age. At the beginning of the second series in 2008, Ben had aged five years; in his latest series, "Ben 10: Omniverse," slated to premiere in the fall, Tennyson is a rambunctious 16.
"Batman is perpetually 42," Wigzell says. "Bart Simpson has been 10 for 20-something years. We just thought it would be really cool to age the character up." Now Ben can drive (a souped-up Dodge Challenger), hang out late, even date. "With a 10-year-old, you can't introduce any kind of romance or girlfriend," says Solomon. "That's just not going to fly."
Along with his greater driving and dating powers, Ben's roster of aliens has also increased. Since the show premiered, Ben has transformed into more than 50 aliens, which translates into that many more action figures lining toy store shelves.
From a marketing standpoint, it's genius: Ben flips his Omnitrix a few times and you've got five more plastic beasties for the holiday season. As exciting as that might be for toy vendors, such concerns, Wigzell says, have never driven the series.
"It's never been about pushing product," he says. "Viewers can tell when it's a toy show. It's always been about characters and concepts and ideas."
Despite the show's deceptively simple premise, producers have found creative ways to defy viewer expectations. Ben's snippy relationship with his cousin Gwen, initially the geek to Ben's brat, has evolved into one of the most endearing boy-girl relationships on TV. And that cool Omnitrix? The seeming weapon of war (instant monsters for the lucky wearer!) is revealed to be an instrument of galactic peace, a way for alien life forms to walk in the oversized shoes of myriad other species.
All this has resulted in many honors, including five Emmy nominations, two wins, and the WGA award. The show's awards are housed in a tall trophy case in the Cartoon Network studios lobby, one of the few bits of seriousness in a building jammed with toy robots and Powerpuff Girls figurines.
Working in such surroundings it's easy to forget just how huge the show is outside the Burbank office walls. For voice actor Yuri Lowenthal, who plays the show's titular hero, the aha moment came when he took a trip overseas.
"When I went to Australia and England and Ireland, it was 10 times bigger," he says. "You see kids walking down the street, and every kid of a certain age is wearing Ben 10 stuff."
And it's not just Ben 10 T-shirts. In Britain, fans can ride a Ben 10 roller coaster at the Drayton Manor theme park and compete on the live-action game show "Ben 10: Ultimate Challenge." In Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, kids can watch live multimedia extravaganzas based on popular episodes from the series (last year, the shows drew half a million attendees).
"We're in 168 countries, 312 million households," says Stuart Snyder, president of TBS' animation, young adult and kids media division. "We approach it as a global brand, but then we leave it to each of the individual territories to really connect with the audience there."
"The moment I knew it was big was when Gordon Brown, who was the prime minister of England, was quoted in one of the papers saying that he couldn't get the 'Ben 10' theme song out of his head," Wigzell says. "I was like, is this an 'Onion' article?"
As huge as "Ben 10" has become, with the toys and games and upcoming movies, not a lot has changed for Lowenthal, who has been the voice of teenage Ben since 2008. Lowenthal can stroll the halls of comic conventions unbothered — until it's time for a "Ben 10" screening or panel and he's outed as the show's star.
"You go do your panel and they know what you look like," he says, "and suddenly, we're the Beatles."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The superintendent of Indiana's public schools announced Friday she would seek more than $614,000 in damages from CTB/McGraw-Hill, the same day company President Ellen Haley apologized to lawmakers for failures in online standardized tests that caused chaos at the end of the school year.
Superintendent Glenda Ritz said the money she's seeking would cover fines laid out in the state's $95 million contract with the testing company and pay for an independent review of the test's validity and improved reporting data. Department of Education staff said the fines could easily grow to millions of dollars.
Indiana's troubles have punctuated a nationwide shift from pencil-and-paper tests to online exams. Troubles earlier this year disrupted high-stakes testing in Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota and Oklahoma. A bank of "overwhelmed" servers in New Jersey caused students in Oklahoma and Indiana to be consistently booted from the online test over two days at the end of April, McGraw-Hill executives said Friday.
"The consequences of CTB's server failures were real and significant for Indiana schools," Ritz said in a news release issued before McGraw Hill executives spoke to lawmakers.
A penitent Haley stood before legislators for more than an hour Friday afternoon, answering questions about whether the company underestimated the impact of the test shutdowns and if test results should be considered valid for any of the many high-stakes education formulas they're plugged into around the state.
"Let me begin first, by apologizing to you," she said. "I know it's unacceptable to you. Believe me; it's unacceptable to me, too."
McGraw-Hill employees ran "stress tests" on their servers and the Internet capabilities at schools across the state before signing off on complete transition from paper to online this year. Technicians could not foresee the crush of students taking the test all at once, however, and were forced to quickly add more virtual memory to the servers, she said.
Beyond the fines included in the contract, state lawmakers said many school districts dug into already-stretched budgets to cover overtime for teachers and staff to clean up the testing troubles.
"There were incredible costs overruns in these areas because of these problems," said state Rep. Kreg Battles, D-Vincennes, a high school chemistry teacher. Asked if the company should pay for local costs caused by the testing failure, Haley said she could not comment.
The scope of the testing troubles is still being determined, but many lawmakers detailed other major problems. Battles relayed stories of partial multiple choice lists showing up on students' screens without the correct answer to the question and problems with a separate McGraw-Hill test needed to graduate the third grade.
The McGraw-Hill team was contrite but narrow in their answers, declining to weigh in on the newly disclosed troubles.
Senate Education Chairman Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, said the public relations problems could end up being worse for the company than the fines.
"I think the embarrassment is a huge thing. I think that's a big penalty for them," he said. "Money counts — we for sure want money — but I appreciated them coming in and (Haley's) first phrase was 'I apologize.'"
Kruse said he's most concerned about the validity of the test results, which are used to factor everything from teacher pay to Indiana's school assessment system. McGraw-Hill is reviewing the results and Ritz hired an outside firm to conduct a separate analysis.
Indiana lawmakers plan to meet July 29 to review the results.

Data Analytics in Batch Operations
When Batch Processing Is Critical to Your Operations, Imagine the Worth of Knowing the Predicted Value of Quality Parameters
By Robert Wojewodka and Terry Blevins
The trend in process plants design is to use continuous process operations, since they can often achieve higher production rates with lower capital expenditures. However, in many industries, one or more batch operations may be used in their manufacturing processes. Batch processing often is required when small lots of material are to be produced, or when the product is produced through chemical or biological reactions that take time to complete. For example, the specialty chemical and life-sciences industries depend heavily on batch processing to produce low-volume, high-value products.
The control logic used in batch processing is often complicated by the fact that multiple products may be produced using the same equipment. The wide range of operating conditions and changes in the process that effect dynamic behavior are often a challenge from a measurement and control standpoint. Often there are added challenges in assembling, cleansing and sequencing the necessary and sufficient data to conduct a thorough data analysis. Thus historically, the application of online analytics for fault detection and prediction in real time of the end-point value of quality parameters have not been addressed adequately. Yet these remain priorities for companies that use batch processing.
By design, each input to a batch process can potentially effect some or all of the measurements used with that piece of equipment. This interactive nature of the process, combined with the slow integrating response characteristic of many batch processes, makes it difficult for an operator to identify abnormal conditions in the batch and evaluate their impact on the final product quality. The fact that quality parameters are often not available as online measurements also complicates the operator's job. Furthermore, the historical approach engineers have taken to understanding batch and continuous operations has been through simple reports, batch end-summary statistics and simple overlays of process trends. Although useful and informative, these approaches fall short of characterizing process variation and unraveling the multivariate nature of process relationships.
Over the last 10 years, significant progress has been made in the development of technology and understanding needed to apply online statistical analytics to batch processes successfully. Integrating such tools into a process control system can provide many benefits. As one moves forward in selecting tools for online analytics, it is helpful to understand many of the challenges of applying data analytics and the changes in technology that enable success.
Batch Production Challenges
Regardless of the industry, a great many plants use some combination of batch, continuous and semi-continuous processes, as illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Many plants use some combination of batch, continuous and semi-continuous processes.
The batch unit-processing may be broken into one or more operations, depending on the product being manufactured. In the initial portion of a batch operation, the unit may be charged using discrete addition and/or by continuous feed, or some combination of discrete and continuous feed throughout the operation. Some of the inputs to the batch unit may be shared resources; others are dedicated to the equipment.
Feed rates and operating targets are determined by the target product and the operation of the batch. In some cases, multiple pieces of equipment may be available for processing a batch. Even though the equipment may appear to be the same physically, experience has shown that the performance of interchangeable units used for batch processing will often vary because of physical differences; e.g., heat exchanger area, capacity, valve characteristics, measurement location.
Within each batch operation, the material charged to the unit is retained within the unit and processed by a chemical reaction and/or mechanical means, such as heating, cooling and/or agitation. Once all material associated with a batch has been processed, the final product may be discharged to another unit for further processing or to a tank for storage. Lab analysis of some input feed streams may be available and may affect the charge rate and total charge to a unit. Quality parameters associated with the product may be available at the end of the batch or after a batch operation. The operator or the control system may use this data to correct the charge or the operating conditions used in the next phase of the batch operation.
There are significant differences in operating a batch process or a semi-continuous process and a continuous process. From a statistical analysis perspective, all continuous processes have batch aspects to them, and all batch processes have continuous aspects to them. In many cases, tools designed for continuous process analysis do not have features that are needed to address batch requirements effectively. In particular, some key areas that must be addressed to apply data analytics to a batch process successfully include:
- Process holdups. Operator- and event-initiated processing halts and restarts. Sometimes these halts and restarts are part of the batch process design, such as adding a special ingredient. Other times progression of a batch may be delayed by limitations imposed by the need to wait for common equipment to become available. Regardless of the initiating cause, the time to complete a batch operation may vary, which affects the way data must be processed during analytic model development and in the online application of analytics.
- Access to lab data. Due to the nature of the product produced by batch processing, online measurement of quality parameters may not be technically feasible or economically justified. Thus, it is common practice to take a grab sample and analyze it in the lab during various points in the batch process. In many facilities today, the lab data from grab samples may only reside within the lab system. The lab results may be communicated to the operator by phone or through a lab terminal that may not be tied to the control system. To implement online analytics, it is necessary for lab results to be available to the online analytics toolset.
- Variations in feedstock. The charge to a batch may come from storage tanks that are periodically refilled by upstream processes or by truck or rail shipments from outside suppliers. Changes in the incoming raw material properties may directly affect batch operation and quality parameters. Although the supplier may provide the properties of each material shipment, this data may be available only to purchasing or to the QA lab. If it is not available for use in online analytic tools, then this lack of information can affect the accuracy of predictions provided by the analytics.
- Varying operating conditions. A batch may be broken into multiple operations. The processing conditions may vary significantly with each batch operation and with the product that is produced by the unit. Thus, the analytic model that is applied to a batch should take into account the product that is produced and the operation that is active on the processing unit.
- Concurrent batches. Typically, most companies run concurrent batches in the same process cell. As soon as a piece of equipment is available, another batch is started. Companies do this to maximize throughput. Thus, multiple batches of the same material may be found within the unit at various stages of completion. The data collection and analysis toolset must work efficiently in that environment so each batch is analyzed and may be reviewed by the operator.
- Assembly and organization of the data. One of the limits that often prevents detailed analysis of batch processes is the inability to access, correctly sequence and organize a data set of all of the necessary data. This requirement must be fulfilled to analyze the process and move the results of the analysis online.
Advances in analytic technology over the last ten years make it possible to compensate automatically for varying operating conditions and for process holdups. Also, it is possible to compensate for feedstock property information and sampled lab data of quality parameters. However, such technology is not uniformly available in commercial analytic products. In nearly all cases, the integration of lab data and supplier information on the material properties of truck or railcar shipment properties is customized to each installation and, thus, not addressed by analytic tools. One of the reasons for this is that all of the business systems, lab systems and DCS control systems available today are designed very nicely for meeting their intended use, but not to help facilitate data integration and data analysis.

Graziano da Silva meets with Lebanon's Director General of Agriculture
28 February 2014, Rome – FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva met with Lebanon's Director General of Agriculture (Ministry of Agriculture) Louis Lahoud, at FAO headquarters today.
Both principals discussed the FAO projects for rural development currently under implementation in Lebanon.
"Since you took office, we feel that cooperation has increased tremendously," Minister Lahoud told FAO Director-General.
Lebanon's Director General for Agriculture highlighted the challenges facing the country's agricultural sector.
Graziano da Silva reiterated FAO's willingness to support Lebanon in reinforcing the work already being done by the government to strengthen the sector.
The meeting also discussed the consequences of the Syrian crisis on the agricultural sector of Lebanon and reviewed the support FAO is providing in the region.
FAO's Regional Response Plan which addresses critical needs in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey resulting from the crisis in Syria prioritizes three areas of support, including prevention of spread of trans boundary animal diseases, improving food and phytosanitary control services along the border with Syria and recovering food production and income generation among host communities and other vulnerable groups in the border and peri-urban areas of neighboring countries.
Lebanon's Director General for Agriculture underscored the historical relationship between FAO and Lebanon and thanked the Director-General for the Organization's activities in his country.

I'm attending my eighth annual Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Summit up in Bellevue and on Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington. It's three days of NDA discussions with product teams, executives, and some excellent networking with with other MVPs from around the globe. I don't know how many countries are represented, but I do know when someone in a Directory Services meeting I haven't met yet opens their mouth to speak, I have no idea what kind of accent they'll have .
I can't talk yet about much of what's being said here, but there are definitely common themes I'm hearing again and again in different sessions, echoed by both Microsoft employees and attending MVPs: Cloud security, cloud confusion, the role of identity in the future, job worries, and more. Over the next few days I'll post some articles both here and in the general website to talk about a few of these.
For now, let me leave you with a quote from Jeffrey Snover this morning, when talking about improving one's internet connection for cloud services: "Bandwidth is something you can throw money at; latency is not. Latency is this thing we call 'the speed of light.'"

Following the reports and photos, which showed Ben Flajnik cheating on his fiancé from The Bachelor, many have wondered what is the status of their relationship.
While viewers will find out tonight, following the season finale and After The Final Rose special, UsWeekly is giving us details on what we can expect! If you've kept up with the cheating scandal, you know that Ben was pictured making out with multiple women last month, two of which spent the night at his apartment.
So how did Ben explain this away to his rumored fiancé Courtney Robertson? UsWeekly reports that despite his sloppy cheating, Ben still wants to give things a shot with Courtney and lied his way back into her heart during the March 3 taping of the After The Finale Rose special.
Ben reportedly swore on his father's grave that he was just kissing "old friends." Though insiders say he only met the women in February, and is still texting one of them. Yikes.
The mag states that Courtney has been totally miserable since filming wrapped. Ben actually broke off his engagement to her on February 7, three months after he filmed the proposal in November. This is consistent with lots of other rumors that have popped up about Ben and Courtney. Another report gives more details about Ben's evasion, revealing "Things did get shaky between them. Ben panicked. He put Courtney on the back burner, didn't call for a week (including on Valentine's Day). He drowned himself in his partying."
Ben's behavior towards Courtney is once again blamed on how he felt after seeing how she was acting on the show when she wasn't with him. Her on-screen antics and interviews were so heinous, a friend says "Ben cracked. He was hearing from everyone that he got played."
In the upcoming televised therapy special (please make this trend of televised therapy stop!), Courtney allegedly admitted that she felt Ben "abandoned" her and that she "had days where [she] stayed in bed and cried."
Despite the poor odds for Bachelor couples, Ben and Courtney are now rumored to be giving their relationship another shot, perhaps on directive from their ABC overlords. Ben has apparently purchased a new engagement ring for Courtney and has told her "I'm going to be there for you forever!"
And there's also been talk of the pair going on another fancy location, this time without a camera crew. "They're going someplace very remote, where no one cares about The Bachelor," Ben's friend reveals, "That way they can see where the relationship really stands without cameras rolling."

Another View -- Stephen Parente: When Obamacare takes full effect, NH will be hit hardSTEPHEN PARENTE
July 14. 2014 8:10PM
NEW HAMPSHIRE, buckle up. Over the next few months, you'll learn how much your health insurance premiums will go up for next year. The early evidence isn't good — the percentage increase could be in the double digits.
But that's nothing compared to what you'll face in 2017. In May, I released a comprehensive study showing how the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will likely play out in New Hampshire over the next few years. The diagnosis isn't good.
First, the short version. In two years, the ACA's structural problems will lead to substantial premium increases. Once that happens, people will likely leave the insurance market in droves. They'll have little choice —they won't be able to afford health insurance because federal subsidies won't keep up with the rapid price increases. Within a decade, this could swell the ranks of the state's uninsured by 133 percent percent.
This isn't baseless speculation. I reached this conclusion by using a peer-reviewed economic model published in several health journals. It was funded by both private and government sources, including the Department of Health and Human Services, and has been cited by multiple Supreme Court justices in ACA-related rulings.
But why won't this happen until 2017? Because that's the year when the Affordable Care Act goes into full effect and certain temporary provisions begin to sunset. The changes will affect all plans sold for 2017 and beyond.
Two big changes will occur that year: Insurance companies will no longer have access to ACA's "re-insurance" and "risk corridor" programs. The first item currently allows insurers to bill the government for the most expensive patients; the second one guarantees that the industry's losses will be subsidized by you. When these two programs end, the insurance industry won't have access to taxpayer money.
That leaves New Hampshire's citizens to pick up the tab. Without taxpayer money, insurers in the state will increase plan premiums to cover the sudden shortfall. They'll have no other choice — the other option is to go out of business.
You might not have a choice, either. The data predict that the average 2017 premiums for the cheapest individuals plan in New Hampshire may jump from $1,424 to $6,741 — a 373 percent increase. Undoubtedly, this will be far too expensive for many people. No insurance may be the only financially sound option.
This will cause a chain reaction in the insurance market. As people leave the exchanges, insurers will have fewer customers who can shoulder health care costs. Thus, for 2018, they'll have to raise prices again —which will only cause more people to leave. This cycle could repeat itself indefinitely.
Employer health care coverage won't stem the losses. After 2016, many businesses will stop offering health insurance because it's also getting too expensive for them. I estimate that nearly 90,000 people could lose employer coverage in New Hampshire over the next decade.
This rapid turn of events leaves more people who need health insurance from the exchanges. Those same exchanges, meanwhile, are hemorrhaging customers because they're becoming more expensive every year. Stuck in this cycle, many will find the IRS "shared responsibility fee"—the tax for not having health insurance—a far cheaper option. My analysis indicates that this could increase the number of uninsured by 133 percent to more than 130,000 people within a decade.
Think of what this means for the Affordable Care Act. Its architects promised that it would make health care cheaper while providing universal health care. Instead, it will make health care unaffordable for many while leaving more New Hampshire residents uninsured. This health care cure may be worse than the disease.

watering the bushes is a sexual act that occurs when a female has an extremely large bush of pubic hair. the male is turned off due to the immense amount of pubic hair so he then inserts his limp penis into the gross bushy hair covered hole very carefully and then begins to urinate into the womans vagina. this act of urinating inside of the female's vagina is in fact "watering" the "bushes" or in reality her pubic hair.
i was about to lay pipe in this one bitch from the laser tag course and then i felt her bush of pubes and went limp... so out of pure anger i worked my limp cock into this cunts pussy and took a piss all up in her and wound up watering the bushes like a fucking man would.

Whenever Pope Alexander VI needs something nasty handled in Showtime's "The Borgias," he turns to his son, Cesare Borgia. If Cesare doesn't choose to handle the dirty deed himself, he relies on his hit man of sorts, Micheletto.
In the series third season, the Borgias may meet their match.
"The main threat to the family in Season 3 is Caterina Sforza and her own assassin," says series star Francois Arnaud, who plays Cesare, in this preview supplied exclusively to Show Patrol. It will air Sunday night on Showtime.
The assassin hired by Caterina Sforza (Gina Mckee) is Rufio, who has the rather foreboding nickname the Dark Shadow. Danish actor Thure Lindhardt says his character is "not really afraid of anything."
"Today Rufio would be the man whispering in the president's ear," Lindhardt says in the video. "He's very passionate about getting rid of [the Borgia family]."
Micheletto (Sean Harris) better sharpen all his blades.
Created by Neil Jordan, "The Borgias" follows the ambitious and corrupt Pope Alexander VI and his family, including son Cesare and daughter Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger), as they wade through religious and political troubles that often are of their own making.
Below is a previously released teaser called "A New Pope" that focuses on Jeremy Irons Pope Alexander VI, formerly known as Rodrigo Borgia. He'd be the reason Caterina Sforza hates the Borgias.
"The Borgias" returns at 9 p.m. April 14 on Showtime.

The Sessions is admirable, and often enjoyable, yet self-limiting in concept. It's exactly about what it sets out to be about - no less but no more.
Read Full Review
A moving tale with wryly funny moments.
At once entirely frank and downright cuddly in the way it deals with the seldom-visited subject of the sex lives of people with disabilities, this well-acted and constructed film will, at the very least, turn the spotlight on this unusual topic.
The Sessions is first and foremost about Hawkes' virtuoso performance, one of those "My Left Foot"-y transformations that make audiences verklemmt and generate awards talk.
See all The Sessions reviews at Metacritic.com
not for kids
Mature but deeply powerful look at sex and the disabled.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Sessions' story about a man in an iron lung who decides to explore his sexuality with the help of a professional "sex surrogate" isn't appropriate for younger teens. But for mature older teens and adults, it's a film filled with compassion and hope that could provide a lesson about what sex and love mean and what they can bring to anyone's life when approached in a healthy manner. Expect plenty of nudity (including brief glimpses of a woman's private parts and breasts, as well as longer shots of her backside) and frank conversations about sex acts, orgasm, and more. Language is infrequent but includes "f--k" and "s--t."
Messages: The film is compassionate and sensitive to the triumphs and challenges that the disabled community faces. Without condescending, it reminds audiences that everyone has needs and desires that deserve acknowledgement and fulfillment.
Role models: Mark O'Brien, a real-life poet and journalist who survived only with the help of an iron lung, is the inspiration for this film, and he's depicted here as a graceful, thoughtful man with much to offer the world. His surrogate soothes his concerns and treats their relationship like any other that requires trust and communication. She also tries to understand what it's like for him to be tied to the iron lung. To her, he's not just a case, nor is he an outsider. She treats him with respect.
Violence: Not an issue
Sex: A woman's private parts are briefly visible, and her breasts are shown. Her backside is seen often, and there are glimpses of pubic hair. The two main characters are shown attempting to have sex, mostly from the waist up, while discussing what they're doing and how it feels. Frank sex talk throughout, including references to orgasm.
Language: One use of "f--k," plus "s--t," "d--k," "crap," "ass," "damn," "oh my God," and more.
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

Fashion tips: Look fab after 40
Long Island native Lois Joy Johnson, 63, gives wardrobe tips for women over 40 in her new book, "The Wardrobe Wakeup: Your Guide to Looking Fabulous at Any Age" (Running Press, $23).
The book has scores of tips for women on how to look good as their lives -- and bodies -- shift (and, yes, sometimes sag). Instead of models, she's got photos of 18 friends and colleagues of a certain age who've all "survived trends, fads, weight changes, husbands, jobs, grown-up kids and life's little lemons with wit and style," she declares.
Here, Lois-approved pieces for a new you.

EditorsNote: updates with quotes, fixing Richardson's age Browns trade RB Richardson to Colts
In a stunning move, the Cleveland Browns guaranteed their fans another transition season Wednesday when they traded running back Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2014 first-round draft pick.
The move gives the Colts two of the top three players selected in the 2012 NFL draft -- No. 1, quarterback Andrew Luck, and No. 3, Richardson.
It gives the Browns multiple 2014 draft choices in the first, third and fourth rounds.
More immediately, it leaves the 2013 team floundering in transition mode, as the Richardson trade followed the announcement that Bobby Hoyer is starting at quarterback Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. And the team hinted that former starter Brandon Weeden might not get the job back.
Cleveland CEO Joe Banner told the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Wednesday night that the Browns and Colts first discussed the trade Tuesday. He said the deal allows management to accomplish its goals going forward.
"This was more about the moment presented itself," Banner said. "It wasn't something where we could say, 'Wait three weeks.' ... We had to make that decision now.
He added, "The value that we were getting back ... made this a thing we wanted to do."
The trade necessitated the Browns to bring in 31-year-old running back Willis McGahee, who is expected to sign if he passes his physical. McGahee was cut by the Denver Broncos after rushing for only 731 yards in 2012, although he did run for 1,199 in 2011.
Late Wednesday, Richardson's hometown newspaper, the Pensacola News Journal, reported that the 22-year-old former Alabama star was pleased to be going to the Colts.
"Trent is very happy with the situation," a source told the News Journal. "He doesn't hold any hard feelings against Cleveland. He enjoyed his time there and wishes them success. He's happy to move to another city where he can continue his career.
"At the end of the day, Trent understands that the NFL is a business; it's not personal. He's blessed to be one of the 1,800 players who wear the shield."
According to tweets by longtime Cleveland Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot, Richardson's perspective was he "and Weeden don't like each other. ... says Weeden sucks. ... will never win here" Plus she and other sources report that Richardson "HATES" the snow.
Although it does snow in Indianapolis, the Colts play indoors, where Richardson and Luck might be expected to become one of the best offensive balancing acts in the NFL.
While the Browns are not planning on making any further deals, Wednesday's trade will allow Banner and new general manager Mike Lombardi to shape the team how they want.
"I don't want to tip our hand about what we're going to do," Banner said, "but I think it puts us in a good position. ... We are positioning ourselves to build a team that is good and sustainable."
Lombardi has definitely made moves to determine his legacy in this, his second turn with the Browns. He also previously had stints as a personnel man with the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders that did not end well. He spent the past five years in the media, most recently for NFL Network.
Wednesday's quarterback decision reflects the direction Lombardi wants to take. Lombardi has had an affinity for Hoyer dating back to his days as a television analyst in 2010. And it smacks of his known dislike of anything left over from the previous regime of Mike Holmgren.
Weeden was Holmgren's No. 22 overall pick in 2012. Now a bad thumb has opened the door for Hoyer, who leapfrogged erstwhile backup Jason Campbell to get the start Sunday.
Unless Lombardi is so high on Hoyer to believe he is the future quarterback for the Browns, and the player lives up to that expectation for the balance of this season, then it would seem Cleveland is positioning itself to acquire a franchise quarterback next year.
The Browns should have the currency to address that in free agency, where they are projected to have $24 million in cap room, and the draft.
Although their desirability and availability are unknown at this time, the highest-paid quarterbacks who will become free agents in 2014 are Jay Cutler (Chicago Bears), Michael Vick (Eagles), Josh Freeman (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Chad Henne (Jacksonville Jaguars).
According to current rankings by NFLDraftScout.com on CBS, the top five college quarterbacks, assuming they enter the draft, are:
--1. Teddy Bridgewater, 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, junior, Louisville.
--2. Brett Hundley, 6-foot-3, 227 pounds, redshirt sophomore, UCLA.
--3. Tajh Boyd, 6-foot-1, 225 pounds, redshirt senior, Clemson.
--4. Marcus Mariota, 6-foot-4, 212 pounds, redshirt sophomore, Oregon.
--5. Johnny Manziel, 5-foot-11, 210 pounds, redshirt sophomore, Texas A&M.;
All but Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, are projected as first-round picks at this early date.

Antonio Conte has admitted that Juventus were simply not good enough in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, following a one-sided 2-0 defeat.
An early goal from David Alaba, followed by a Thomas Muller strike after the break, helped the Bavarians to a comfortable home win, and Conte realises his side now face a tough task to turn things around in the second leg.
"Bayern played a great game. We just came up against a great team tonight. I have to be honest and admit that we simply faced a better side," Conte said at a press conference.
"We knew it would be a difficult game but we also know that football is unpredictable and that we'll have to do something great against such a strong team in the return leg.
"Bayern have great quality but also a great physical condition and a great fighting spirit. They are up there with Barcelona and Madrid in terms of quality yet they are also very angry after losing last season's final at home on penalties. And they proved all their grit tonight.
"Bayern played with great tempo, they won almost every challenge and did not allow us to play our game. Our project started only 16 months ago, so this can be an important lesson, especially to understand what it takes to play at this level. We can just be proud to already be here at this stage."
Juve resume Serie A action on Saturday at home against Pescara.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The waves of emotion brought tears, laughs and prayerful reflection Friday as more than 2,000 people gathered to remember five members of a New Mexico family gunned down in their home last weekend.
Following a police escort, fellow chaplains and members of the Albuquerque Fire Department lined the procession for the memorial service held at one of the city's largest churches. Bagpipes played and the urns of former pastor Greg Griego, his wife Sarah and their three young children were carried into the church.
Family members recalled Greg Griego's lumbering walk, his hearty laugh and his endless commitment to helping others to turn their lives around. His wife, known for her cooking, and their children were just as much a part of that ministry. The family was always a front-row fixture at church services.
The crowd prayed for the Griegos and for their 15-year-old son, Nehemiah, who remains in custody after being charged with the killings.
Annette Griego, one of Greg Griego's adult daughters, told those at the service that her father was a man whose heart was after God.
"My dad never gave up on me. He never gave up on any of us. He never stopped giving us Jesus and so I know he would want us to do the exact same thing for our brother, Nehemiah," she said. "So if you wonder where we stand, we stand alongside our brother."
"We stand confident that God will take this tragedy and use it for something good," she said.
News of the slayings has reverberated throughout the community, where Greg Griego — a former gang member turned pastor — was known for his work with jail inmates, his service at local rescue missions and his spiritual guidance for firefighters and members of the military.
Friends said Griego and his teenage son went on missions to Mexico and that the boy was a talented drummer who played with the church's youth band.
On Friday, family, friends and members of the Calvary Albuquerque church who watched the boy grow up continued to struggle, trying to make sense of the tragedy.
Nehemiah Griego was just a normal teen to Vince Harrison, a former police officer who had known the family for about 10 years through his security work at the church.
"He did not fit the criteria of a kid who was crazy into guns and wanted to hurt people. That's absolutely false," Harrison said.
The question of how and why such a tragedy could happen to the Griegos haunts family members and fellow churchgoers as lawmakers across the country debate whether more gun control laws would keep another shooting from happening, even though the signs of brewing tragedy are often impossible to spot.
Public defender Jeff Buckels said in a statement that it's too early for anyone to rush to judgment about the teen's mental state, motives or plans. He accused the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department of parceling out limited bits of information that have led to "sensational headlines that threaten to finish Nehemiah's case in the public mind before it has fairly begun."
Sheriff Dan Houston has said he stands by the facts as presented in the investigation.
Griego is facing murder and child abuse charges in the deaths of his parents and three younger siblings — all found shot to death inside their rural home south of Albuquerque on Jan. 19.
Detectives were at the home for two days collecting evidence. They also have been reviewing text messages and calls between Griego and his 12-year-old girlfriend and security video from Calvary, where the teen apparently spent much of the day following the early morning shootings.
After the killings, authorities allege that Griego reloaded his parents' two semi-automatic rifles and put them in the family van and planned to gun down Wal-Mart shoppers. Houston has said investigators have no information that Griego actually went to a Wal-Mart that day.
Buckels, the defense attorney, promised he will consult with mental health experts and investigate the effects of violent video games. Authorities have said Griego liked to play "Modern Warfare" and "Grand Theft Auto."

Rasheedah Watley has known Brandon Marshall since he was 12 and laughed when I asked her Wednesday if the Bears can change Marshall in ways the Broncos or Dolphins couldn't.
"It's very foolish to think that,'' said Watley, Marshall's high school sweetheart. "I don't know how many chances you can give somebody. I'm really fearful for someone's daughter or sister. The guy needs some real help.''
Watley has a pending civil suit against Marshall based on a history of alleged domestic violence. She acknowledged being anything but impartial regarding Marshall and said his actions never surprise her. Marshall's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, didn't return phone calls.
"Brandon thinks he can bash people and get away with it because he has gotten away with it so I don't see why he'd think he can't get away with it again," Watley said.
She says she spoke to the Tribune so nobody in Chicago would have any illusions about Marshall. She sought to accurately describe "The Beast'' -- Marshall's nickname -- the Bears must tame. She also represents the kind of strong backlash the Bears can expect from some fans.
This is their $9.5 million gamble, a risk born of two sides desperate for each other, banking on Marshall helping the Bears as much as they possibly can help him redeem himself.
I wonder how Virginia McCaskey viewed the trade.
Imagine how awkward it was telling the Bears matriarch that her team knowingly acquired a wide receiver who, 48 hours earlier, was accused of hitting a woman outside a New York City nightclub. Explaining the Marshall revelations that surfaced late Tuesday raised embarrassing questions the Bears hope never to have to answer -- but especially not the day after a big trade and three months after Sam Hurd's drug arrest revealed a life nobody has admitted knowing Hurd led.
Did Marshall "slug'' a woman, according to a police report cited in the New York Post? Or was he trying to get his wife out of the club after she was cut by a bottle, as his lawyer claims? Did the Bears realize how serious the allegation was against a guy with a history of similar accusations by women? What was everybody saying about new general manager Phil Emery's attention to detail?
Why do the Bears have such a knack for finding adversity?
Before anybody outside Halas Hall knew of Marshall's latest saga, I believed the trade captivated a football city more than any transaction since the Jay Cutler deal -- and represented a risk worth taking.
One quick news cycle later, the deal for a difference-maker two days after Marshall was involved in another 4 a.m. melee gave reasonable people pause long enough to re-examine the Bears' priorities -- but still represented a risk worth taking.
Even if Marshall faces an NFL suspension, Emery did the best thing for the Bears trading two third-round draft picks for a chance to reunite Marshall with Cutler and give coach Lovie Smith another reclamation project.
Saying that condones none of what Marshall did or didn't do. It doesn't trivialize violence against women. Grudgingly, I have come to accept the Bears showing a willingness to take on players such as Marshall with troubled pasts simply reflects today's NFL reality.
If the Bears hadn't traded for Marshall they would have pursued Vincent Jackson, who's one DUI arrest away from a season-long suspension. I don't like it, you don't like it, and the McCaskeys might not like it, but all 32 NFL teams routinely sacrifice scruples for a shot at success.
You can't criticize the McCaskeys for running the Bears like a corner drug store and then complain when they follow the NFL's win-at-all-cost rules and trade for a football Lohan.
The Bears say they became aware of Marshall's incident Tuesday morning, though I doubt they knew the details. They knew Marshall was bringing baggage, but I wonder how prepared they really were to start looking for extra luggage carts.
Their 30-word statement struck me as tentative, as if the team needed more information to pledge unconditional support, and surprisingly no team official spoke on Marshall's behalf. The odd silence only stretched the story another day. Cutler showed the most courage in calling WMVP-AM 1000 to vouch for the character of Marshall, who should work under a zero-tolerance policy after arriving Friday.
If Marshall really can change to make this Bears trade as good as it potentially could be, make him prove it. Chicago waits hopefully but skeptically.

AmSam targeted in Romney's quest for delegates
With the local Republican caucus set for Tuesday, Mar. 13, American Samoa was the focus of political pundits over the weekend. Signaling the national interest, an article called "Why Romney will Dominate the American Samoa Caucuses" flashed online from the BuzzFeed.com website.
BuzzFeed staff writer McKay Coppins answers his own question right off the bat, saying in the subhead, "It's got one of the densest Mormon populations in the world."
Coppins appears to be the site's Romney expert with ten of his last ten blogs about the lead Republican contender for the slot to face Pres. Barack Obama in November.
Quoting statistics that he attributes to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he writes there are more Latter-Day Saints per capita in American Samoa than almost any other country or territory in the world — a whopping 25% of the population.
While this may be a little-known piece of trivia outside the Church, the writer says it "seems clear the Romney campaign has connected the dots. At a strategy briefing earlier this week in Boston, an aide specifically cited the South Pacific as a place where they expected their candidate to perform well."
The Romney Campaign is sending the candidate's son Matt Romney to the Northern Marianas and Guam this coming week to try and sway the Republican vote there.
McKay has done his research on American Samoa, backgrounding that the Mormon Church first sent missionaries to the region in 1843, just 13 years after it was organized. He points out, the church organized the island's first Boy Scout troop in 1938 (not a statement we fact checked although the church currently sponsors a majority of troops on island).
He opines the church has benefited as well — with Brigham Young University Utah campus (where Romney attended) "famous for recruiting heavily from American Samoa and its surrounding islands." And BYU owns the Polynesian Cultural Center that includes a large Samoan section and employs Polynesian students from their BYU Hawaii campus.
He doesn't point out that American Samoa's non-voting delegate, Faleomavaega Eni who is campaigning for his twelfth consecutive term, has more than likely benefited from this 25% LDS population as a lifelong member of the church.
The American Samoa Republican Party will hold its caucus on Tuesday and it is rumored it will know by then the candidate they will vote for in the Republican convention in Florida.
Radio New Zealand quotes local party chairman, Dr. Victor Tofaeono, who says his group is not yet committed to any candidate.
Dr. Tofaeono says the local party only has nine votes, and wants to make sure American Samoa's votes count. "We don't want to vote for somebody who will not be the nominee because then our votes will be wasted. So we have to pretty well decide by Tuesday who that nominee will be so that we can back the right person," he told Radio New Zealand over the weekend.
Tuesday's territorial caucus will select six delegates, who are technically unbound, to make up the nine-person delegation. Coppins ventures that they will likely be picked for their pro-Romney leanings; the other three will be local party officials.
Samoa News has been running an advertisement inviting the public to the meeting/ caucus tomorrow, Tuesday, Mar. 13, at the Toa restaurant in Nu'uuli.

Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary, Peru
Machu Picchu – "Old Mountain" - is a pre-Columbian 15th-century Inca site. Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca World. Since the site was never known to the Spanish during their conquest, it is a relatively intact cultural site. Machu Picchu stands 2,430 m above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height: its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
Machu Picchu and its surrounding area was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Mixed Site in 1983. Mixed word heritage sites are sites that have both cultural and natural values. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.
View images of the Sanctuary
Size and Location
It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres northwest of Cusco. It covers an area of 325.92km2.
Flora and Fauna
Machu Picchu is located in a region that is part of the High Jungle. It is an area with great environmental richness that has a varied climate, and a high difference in altitude, with a change in altitiude from 1,725 m. to 6,271 m: from the low, dry mountain forest, to the level of the mountain summits. The species of fauna and flora that have been registered in the area are therefore highly diverse and represent a high proportion of those species present in Peru. Between 10 to 20% of them are endangered.
The area boasts more than 400 species of orchids, begonias, trees and bushes like the Qeuña, the Pisonay, or the Muña. In the forest, 400 registered species of birds have been seen such as the Cock of the Rock and a la pava de monte and many other rare and endangered species of birds breed that can be found near the rivers.
Other animals that abund in the area are bears with glasses, pumas, dwarfed deer, reptiles and insects.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). The Incas started building the estate around AD 1400 but abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. There is no record of the Spanish having visited the remote city and the state of the ruins is remarkably good as they were not defaced by the conquistadors as in other locations. This has ensured that Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction.
Since its discovery in 1911, a growing number of tourists visit Machu Picchu, reaching 400,000 in 2003. As Peru's most visited tourist attraction and major revenue generator, it is continually threatened by economic and commercial forces. During the 1980s a large rock from Machu Picchu's central plaza was moved out of its alignment to a different location to create a helicopter landing zone. Since the 1990s, a no-fly zone exists above the area.
In the late 1990s, the Peruvian government granted concessions to allow the construction of a cable car, a bridge and development of a luxury hotel, including a tourist complex with boutiques and restaurants. Many people protested against the plans, including members of the Peruvian public, international scientists, and academics, as they were worried that the greater numbers of visitors would pose tremendous physical burdens on the ruins.
Due to the environmental degradation of the site, the World Monuments Fund placed Machu Picchu on its 2008 Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites. UNESCO's World Heritage Convention has also discussed the possibility of including Machu Picchu on its List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. In 2009, a group of independant evaluators visited Macchu Picchu to estimate the threats to the site. The site is now being monitored and certain measures have been put in place to ensure that Macchu Picchu remains a site of extraordinary historical and natural value.

Why Are People Eating Each Other?
I'm still trying to get over that story about the Japanese guy serving his guests WAY TOO FUCKING ORGANIC sausage, and now Clarice Starling better get her good handbag and cheap rube shoes to Miami! A police officer shot and killed a naked man who had eaten another man's face off. I don't recall Dorothy and Rose including that bit in their "write a jingle about Miami" contest entry for the tourist board.
The grotesque nightmare began around 2 PM on Saturday when a Miami police officer spotted a nudie cutie dining on another guy's face on a bike path off the MacArthur Causeway. When the officer (who I fucking hope gets next week off) asked Leatherface to stop chowing on the other guy's mug, Leatherface declined and kept right on munching. Well, he got shot and killed.
The victim is said to be alive and in critical condition at Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Cops are saying that he appears to have been a homeless man, and that "cocaine psychosis" might have been the cause of the perpetrator's nudity and cannibalism.
What are they cutting the cocaine with down in Miami? The goo from Prince of Darkness? He couldn't have been that psycho if he disrobed so he wouldn't get any face bits on his clothing.
And why am I the guy who has to post about people eating each other?!? Oh, who cares. DListed is the balls. Thanks for reading, guys. If you're into naked dudes and…well, mostly naked dudes – come see me over at my day job at Manhunt Daily.

Get the Black Mirror 2 GC08 Trailer off WP (25mb)
Black Mirror 2 is going to be a classical point & click adventure, based on so-called 2.5D technologies, using a combination of highly detailed 2D backgrounds and 3D characters.
Black Mirror 2 will fascinate players with lovely detailed 2D backgrounds and a thrilling story: Black Mirror 2 takes place in the 1990's, twelve years after the first episode. Solitary Darren, hero of Black Mirror 2, meets cute Angelina while he is working at the local photo shop of Biddeford, a small town in New England. Angelina immediately understands to catch the eye of Darren´s despotic, unpopular boss. To add the mystery, there seems to be a third person interested in Angelina – Darren sees someone chasing her. He decides to investigate these incidents. His researches will soon lead him to several locations – such as the small English village of Willow Creek, that adventure game players know from part #1…
Twelve years after the events of Black Mirror: The coast village of Biddeford/Maine is gleaming in the colours of Indian Summer. Here works the main character of Black Mirror 2, Darren, as a temp in a photo studio. He, a withdrawn young lad in his 20ies, is studying physics. If photography hadn't been his only passion, he would have left his poorly paid job and his sleazy boss Fuller ages ago.
One day, a stunning English girl named Angelina steps into the shop to have her picture taken. Darren is instantly captivated by her beauty – he has never felt like this. But suddenly, Fuller is bursting in. He insists on serving the pretty customer himself while Darren is sent out to town. When he comes back, it's only by chance that he can fix an appointment with Angelina for a photo shooting.
Shortly after Angelina has left the shop, Darren notices a man following her secretly. Soon, something horrible is happening. In Darren's opinion, Fuller has to do with it and he wants him to pay for it. During the next weeks, the student is plagued by nightmares. He starts a journey leading him to Willow Creek in England. This is the village of Black Mirror Castle where the tragedy of part one took place.
dtp will publish Black Mirror 2, developed by Hanover/Germany-based Cranberry productions, formerly known as 4Head Studios, worldwide in 2009.
