Mission Statement
The Alamo Colleges Police Department
supports the 77th Texas Legislature's mandate prohibiting racial profiling in
Texas. Our police officers work under a departmental policy that is consistent
with all state and federal laws. The policy includes provisions for citizens to
contact us if they have a conflict with an Alamo Colleges Police Officer.
The Alamo Colleges Police Department
realizes that there will be disagreements, from time to time, with individuals
that come in contact with our officers. We realize that confusion, different
perceptions or possibly the timeliness of information could result in
information that may produce different accounts of the same incident. These
disagreements between citizens and officers need to be addressed. We trust that
in the vast majority of contacts between citizens and officers are conducted in
a positive, professional manner. The relationship between the community and our
officers is based on confidence and trust. We cannot be effective without both
the community and our officers working together to achieve this goal.
Citizens feeling that they have a
legitimate concern may make a formal complaint to the Alamo Colleges Police
Department at any time by contacting any member of this department for
information on the complaint process. In addition, information about this
process may be obtained by calling us at (210) 485-0088 and a computer complaint
form can be obtained online.
The Alamo Colleges Police Department
would like to know about positive police contacts. Please write the Chief of
Police a letter or note to let him know about a positive contact with our
police officers, dispatchers or support staff. Chief Adams will let the officer
or other department members know about your letter and a copy will be placed in
their personnel folder.
We are very proud of the
relationship the Alamo Colleges Police Department shares with the community.
Our longstanding goal is to provide our employees and students with a safe
community where all may work and learn without fear or crime.

Franklin mayor will seek fourth termBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
February 21. 2013 8:25PM
FRANKLIN - As mayor of the city, Ken Merrifield sees himself wearing many hats - city council head, community leader and manager among them.
But perhaps most important, he is an ambassador for the city and a salesman for all that Franklin has to offer new businesses looking for a place to invest.
"I think being mayor is a very good role for me," said Merrifield, who announced this week that he is running for a fourth term.
"Franklin needs an advocate, and I enjoy filling that role very much."
Merrifield, who holds a full-time job as a financial analyst at the state Department of Health and Human Services, was first elected in 2007. In 2011, he ran unopposed.
He said he is proud of the city's accomplishments during his terms, but he hopes for better times ahead.
"The entire time I've been mayor, it's obviously been a very difficult financial time for everyone," he said.
With help of the council and city officials, Merrifield has promoted the benefits for businesses to move to his city. To that end, the council is now looking at tax incentives that could attract potential investors, he said.
Merrifield and other city leaders have been lobbying for the Northern Pass project, which would build a converter station in Franklin that would give a $4.2 million boost to the city's tax base yearly.
"That's been one of my top priorities," he said. "If Northern Pass comes to be, it would be the largest economic event in the history of Franklin."
He is especially proud of the Franklin Mayor's Drug Task Force, an effort he initiated in 2010 with the help of a five-year, $625,000 government grant. Working with law enforcement, school administrators and parents, the task force has made a difference in fighting drug abuse.
Franklin was the first city in the state to outlaw the sale of the dangerous drugs K2 and Spice, which had been sold in some convenience stores. The city also supports legislative efforts to establish a prescription drug monitoring program in the state, he said.
"The task force has been tackling the long-standing problem of drug abuse, the same problem that most communities are facing," he said.
City elections will be held in October.

ROME (AP) — Telecom Italia shares rose 6 percent after the former monopoly confirmed that an Egyptian tycoon has expressed interest in investing in the Italian company.
The company said Monday that management was reviewing the offer by Naguib Sawiris, formerly the chairman and controlling stakeholder of Wind Telecom SpA, to buy Telecom Italia shares, and did not comment on the merits. It said in a statement requested by the stock market watchdog Consob that the investment could help the company grow.
The Corriere della Sera daily reported that the offer is for as much as €5 billion (6.3 billion), or 30 percent of the company. Telecom Italia is considering a spinoff of its fixed-line network and is discussing possible investments with the state lender.
Sawiris, an Egyptian tycoon, sold Wind last year.

This could have been a fun game if it had not been for the technical flaws, but it is hard to recommend a game that at times is verging on the unplayable.
Super Gamer Dude
Xbox 360
This game is set in a fictional Tri-City Bay area, in a world that consists of over 80 miles of highways and roads, and you, as a policeman, who loves fast cars, are sent on an undercover mission to track an illegal street racing gang. Your aim is to infiltrate the operation and, by such tactics as stopping the sale of stolen vehicles, bring down the gang and its leaders.
Maggie Q who is a Hollywood actress plays the part of your handler Chase. She will be appearing in a number of live actions throughout the story. There is a problem with the poor frame rate which means that the game does not run smoothly and most of the time plods along at an unacceptably slow speed. This takes away from the gameplay and as the visuals are not very good the high speed racing is quite tricky. At time it is so bad that the game literally stops for some seconds and then continues still at the same low speed. These technical problems are so distracting that they cannot be ignored.
The fact that the visuals are fairly bad is a real shame and you wonder why this was ever released in this poor state. Some of the driving stunts are creative despite the not so good visual presentation, and have a stylish look about them, and you will need to take part in the police chase and the damage runs so as to prove that you can be trusted to do the job.
When you finish the race you are shown the next event and you are able to access it with a press on the d-pad. When you get tired of driving from one point to another to take part in these other events, you will appreciate the EA approach that has been streamlined. This is seen as holding but you will find yourself pushed along moving from one event to the other with little down time throughout the story. When you complete the events you earn representation which goes towards your overall ranking. Being set in Tri-City, where there are citizens going about their normal business, you will be racing on closed off roads close to pedestrian areas when not racing on set circuit laps, so care is needed.
Besides the single-payer modes there is a multiplayer mode which can be played by up to eight players. This could have been a fun game if it had not been for the technical flaws, but it is hard to recommend a game that at times is verging on the unplayable. If ever the problems are solved I would be happy to give it another try, but until then its going back on the shelf.

ABET Programs Outcomes and Assessment. ECE 445 addresses the following:
a) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering knowledge.
This is an important attribute of successful project engineering in ECE445. Mathematics is used in analysis activities and in calculations of circuit parameter values.
b) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. The whole of ECE445 is to design and implement a successful electrical engineering project with an emphasis on hardware and hands on experience. Test results and interpretation of test results are elements of the demonstration, presentation, and final report. Test tools are provided in the laboratory.
c) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
The major focus of ECE445 is to exercise this activity. Students design a system that is functionally tested and demonstrated as part of the course grade.
d) An ability to function on a multi-disciplinary teams.
Students work in pairs (with few exceptions). The students divide work elements among the team and exercise teamwork. Students peer-review others design teams and critique their work. Teamwork is a graded element.
e) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
Students formulate their own problems and solve them as engineering design projects. The project identification and formulation is supported by a staff of advising faculty as well as the Teaching Assistants assigned to the class.
f) An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
Team work and professionalism is emphasized throughout the class. Professionalism in presentation of material and is reinforced in the reviews including the design review, weekly team meetings, project demonstration, presentation, as well as the final report. Ethics are emphasized in the laboratory and reporting activities. The students are required to read the IEEE Code of Ethics and discuss how it relates to the project in the Design Review, the Project Presentation, and the Report.
g) An ability to communicate effectively.
Both informal and formal communication skills are exercised and graded. Informal meetings including the design review require shared presentations by all participants on the team. Weekly design meetings by the TA and e-mail are all encouraged and used in the class. A discussion board is a new method which has proven effective for student discussions leading and formulating projects. Individual written reports are required, and graded with feedback for revisions. Formal presentations are required by all students in the final review of the projects, with formal attire and PowerPoint computer presentation of material.
h) The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.
The student projects convey a wide range of interests on the part of the students regarding these issues. Projects include those which address technologies aimed at medical and helping handicapped people are an example of their awareness and interest in societal issues. They are required to discuss societal impact in the Design Review, Project Presentation, and Report.
i) A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
The students are well aware of the need to keep up with the technology of their field which is ever changing. Many learn this directly as they design circuits which, through research, recent technologies have already solved.
j) A knowledge of contemporary issues.
The projects are derived from real world, current technological problems requiring a solution. The technologies applied are current, with the latest references available.
k) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
ECE445 exercises this in all aspects of the design project and provides the laboratory environment and tools necessary for senior projects.
l) Knowledge of probability and statistics, including applications to electrical /computer engineering practice.
Many of the projects involve sensors with the necessity to distinguish signal from noise, and eliminating noise. Other projects involve probability problems. As such, many of the projects offer the opportunity to apply knowledge of probability and statistics from prior learning.
m) Knowledge of mathematics, and basic and engineering sciences, necessary to carry out analysis and design appropriate to electrical/computer engineering.
Most all projects require simulation of circuitry wherein the knowledge of mathematics and basic and engineering sciences are applied in solving the simulation problems. Plots and graphs of spectra are especially important.
n) Knowledge of advanced mathematics (EE) / discrete mathematics (CompE).
Advanced mathematical skills (EE) are employed by a few projects each semester in complex simulations and control projects.

Modern Literary Theory
A literary movement that started in the late 1920s and 1930s and originated in reaction to traditional criticism that new critics saw as largely concerned with matters extraneous to the text with the biography or psychology of the author or thworks relationshop to literarry history
New criticism proposed tat a work of literary art should be regarded as autonomous and so beyond itself
A poem consists less of a series of referential and verifiable statements about the real world beyond it than of the presentations and sophisticated organizations of a set of complex experiences .
Definition of The New Criticism
The New Criticism is a type of formalist literary criticism that reached its height during 1940s and 1950s and that received its name form John Crawe Ransom 's book The New Criticism.
New critics treat a work f literature as if it were a self contained , self referential object.
Rather than basing their interpretations of a text on the readers response the authors stated intentions or parallels between the text and historical contexts such as authors life.
New Critics perform a close reading concentrating on the relationships within the text that give it its own distinctive character or form. New critics emphasize that the structure of a work should not be divorced from meaning, viewing the two as constituting a quasi organic unity.
Special attention is paid to repetition, particularly of images or symbols but also of sound effects and rhytms in poetry.
New Critics especially appreciate the use of literary devices such as irony to achieve a balance or reconciliation between dissimilar even conflicting, elements in a text.

Perfectly suited by nature to teaching, when affable Cliff Cummings steps up to conduct his Verilog course, the class is in for a treat. From the get-go, Cliff establishes a tone of respect, humor, and openness to questions of any kind. He encourages students to interrupt when they don't understand, to stand up, sit down, resort to coffee and/or carbs, and in all ways to relax and enjoy the learning experience.
There's something additional, however, that Cliff brings to his inspired task of teaching and that's his decades of involvement with the Verilog language, its evolution, standards, and implementation. What Cliff Cummings doesn't know about Verilog and SystemVerilog, isn't worth knowing. Period.
This week, Cliff is teaching Verilog-2001 Design & Best Coding Practices in Silicon Valley – specifically, in the offices of EDA Direct – and I've been lucky enough to attend. Not being a Verilog expert, I approached the class with some trepidation, but found to my delight that I was not the only one among the 8 engineers in the room "new" to the language. We're all engineers, but we're not all Verilog designers and hence it's a class perfectly suited to our skills, interests, and goals.

The dollar (NYBOT:DXZ13) fell against most of its major peers as Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. will explore a Russian proposal for Syria to turn over its chemical weapons while seeking approval for military strikes.
Japan's currency declined versus a majority of its 16 major counterparts for a second day as minutes of the Bank of Japan's August meeting showed policy makers agreed monetary easing was taking effect. Australia's dollar advanced to the strongest in six weeks as Chinese reports added to signs of recovery in the South Pacific nation's largest trading partner. Norway's krone jumped after inflation accelerated.
"It's kind of a risk-back-on situation, aided and abetted by what's going on in Syria," Andrew Wilkinson, the chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. in New York, said in a telephone interview. "The fundamental picture is now a little bit more muddied with regard to tapering. The dollar is a bit softer on those grounds," he said, referring to the Federal Reserve's debate on reducing stimulus.
The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against 10 major peers, traded at 1,028.05 at 2:46 p.m. in New York after touching 1,026.53, the lowest since Aug. 28.
The yen dropped 0.9% to 133.11 per euro after sliding to the weakest since May 22. Japan's currency fell 0.8% to 100.34 per dollar after depreciating to the least since July 25. The euro was little changed at $1.3267.
Rand Weakens
South Africa's rand weakened for the first time in five days, retreating from a four-week high, after the nation's current-account gap widened more than forecast. The currency dropped 0.4% to 9.9931 per dollar.
Indonesia's rupiah tumbled on speculation Bank Indonesia relaxed efforts to prop up the exchange rate. The currency fell as much as 3.2% to 11,515 per dollar in the biggest slide since November 2008 before paring losses to trade 0.7% weaker at 11,235 per dollar.

There's a section of our closet that serves as a graveyard for all the clothing items we've loved, and lost to pesky stains. Instead of letting that splash of red wine or sweat marks (the horror!) get the best of us, we're taking a stand. This non-toxic, biodegradable, and allergen-free solution gets rid of stains once and for all.
I love this stuff! I bought a travel size bottle of this and have had it for several years now. If you put it on a stain and let it set for a bit, then hand wash the spot, I have yet to have a stain it couldn't get out. I am still working on some spots that got run through the wash but I also didn't follow my own advice and hand wash the spot. I was also pleasantly surprised at the size of the bottle I received. If my travel size lasted years, I can't imagine how long this will last. A great purchase!5
I bought this with my points well over a year ago. It was just something to fill my cart at the time. I just used it today on a stain. I wore a white shirt to a party and my little one for red walmart cake frosting all over it. I never thought it would come out. I put a little of this on it, let it sit overnight and washed... I cant even tell where the frosting was. Im so glad I bought this!5
I foolishly bought a $195 Eileen Fisher sweater jacket in cream.
I had it in the car and didn't notice that I spilled coffee on it, which gave stains about 3 days to set.
This product removed every spot except 1, and that spot is so faint it doesn't even bother me.
I thought I had ruined my jacket, and kept yelling at myself the whole time I waited for it to dry: "This is why we can't have nice things!" berating.
Well, I guess I CAN have nice things! Thanks laundress stain remover. I purchased this as a white elephant gift but felt silly and didn't give it away, thinking that it would be a shame for someone to get it who wouldn't appreciate it. Boy was I glad I had it on hand.
I purchased this based on the good reviews on this site and others, and so far I have not been impressed with it. I had a fresh red wine stain on a white napkin that I treated with this and it did not remove the stain after the first wash. I will try it again, but for now I may stick with Wine-Away.2
I love their products. Safe on clothes and is great for people who are sensitive to harsh detergents and chemicals.
I decided to purchase this product to get rid of any existing deodorant stains/build up on my sweaters. I've tried different methods but using this product has been the easiest way.
The soap works well and just using a small drop helps. I highly recommend this product.
I already had some other "Laundress" products, but saw thi s and knew I had to try it. WOW, it DOES work!! I use my showerhead that has a water filter to fill a basin with water and I also use the laundress bleach alternative and I have AMAZING results!! Thank you Birchbox because your web-site introduced me to this product!! So far, so happy!!5
I ordered this product as the ingredients (or lack thereof of toxic, strange chemicals) appealed to me. I have to admit however, that I was a bit skeptical re. how effective it would be on my clothes. I just tried it last week on a white t-shirt that I splashed red pasta sauce on while cooking. I didn't realize that the sauce was on my shirt, so it dried and sat there for a few days until I did a load of laundry. I was so pleased and surprised to discover that the stains came out completely! I will be ordering this product again, and recommending it to others.5

W just turned 4 months. The dr told us we could start solids if we wanted to but not to feel it was a necessity till closer to 6 months. They suggested an Iron fortified rice cereal, we have not decided what we are going to start with yet.
The cereal is a personal choice if it is working for you then ok, but starting it this early may have an effect on your supply. But I would also try spoon feeding it again. Just 1 spoon full mixed with BM till about a ketchup consistency is a good place to start. It will take her a few tries before she figures out how to actually get it to the back of her throat and swallow rather than just spitting it out. Solids are for learning and for fun before 1 year so don't stress to much about it, the main source of her nutrition for the 1st year should come from your milk.
To eliminate the night pumping I would pump right before bed. For me that is 10-1030ish. I am lucky and work where I can pump 3-4 times at work but still pump before bed to make sure that we have enough. W nurses much more often that your LO and adding a nursing session may also help your supply and pumping output. Here is what W day's are like.
His schedule is something like this.
630 wake and nurse till about 7 (some days he will wake as early as 545 those days we nurse twice in the morning)
730 get dropped at daycare
Most days he eats 3 4oz bottles (some days 2 and some days 4)
500 picked up
530 home and nurse
630 nurse
700 bedtime routine starts
730 nurse
800 bed
He wakes 1-2 times a night and nurses.
Good Luck hope you find something that works for you both.

ECU researchers receive cancer grants
By Doug Boyd
ECU News Services
Dr. Ted Bertrand
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 31, 2013) — Researchers at East Carolina University are studying better ways to detect and treat prostate cancer with help from grants from Triad Golfers Against Cancer.
Dr. Ted Bertrand, a scientist and assistant professor in the Department of Oncology at the Brody School of Medicine at ECU, received $40,000 for use in better identifying molecular pathways that are present in all cell types and active in many cancers. This research is designed to improve the detection of prostate cancers and treat them for therapeutic benefit.
Dr. Qun Lu, a professor of anatomy and cell biology at the Brody School of Medicine, is collaborating with Drs. Michael Woods, Hong Jin Kim and Carol Otey at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in a study aimed at improving ways of detecting prostate cancer. The project, funded by a $50,000 grant, is designed to develop a urine-base test with likely application in other cancer types. The new test would be an alternative to "the punch," or the insertion of a probe into the prostate that is the current standard of care but can lead to a high number of cases of infection and other complications.
Triad Golfers Against Cancer announced the grants last week as part of $250,000 in cancer research grants year to four medical facilities in North Carolina. The grants will be used for further research into causes and searches toward cures for cancers related primarily to breast, ovarian and prostate issues, but can also be beneficial in early detection of other forms of cancer.
Seven individual grants ranging from $15,000 to $50,000 each were awarded to the cancer research centers at ECU, UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University and Duke University. Grant recipients were chosen by a GAC research committee following interviews with medical school representatives and were based on viability and scope of institutional research and the ability to procure matching grants to add to the GAC awards.
GAC was founded in 2005 as a local unit of a national charitable organization started in Houston eight years earlier by golfers who were committed to raising money for cancer research across the nation. Since its formation, GAC has raised and donated almost $2 million for cancer research at North Carolina cancer centers. That total has been expanded to more than $8 million in additional funding from other sources benefiting North Carolina medical research facilities.
Nationally, more than $20 million has been raised by golfer groups since 1997.

As leader of the world's oldest and largest professional organization dedicated to advancing cancer research, Dr. Baselga will expand his role in accelerating cancer prevention and discovery.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Physician-in-Chief José Baselga has been elected President of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the world's oldest and largest professional organization dedicated to advancing cancer research. Dr. Baselga will officially become president-elect during the AACR's Annual Meeting 2014, to be held in San Diego, California, from April 5 through 9, and will serve for one year as President beginning in 2015.
Dr. Baselga will assume the post in 2015, just a year after physician-scientist Charles Sawyers, Chair of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program, completes his term as AACR President in April.
Bringing visionary leadership to cancer research
In his new role, Dr. Baselga will work with the AACR Board of Directors and membership, which includes more than 34,000 members in more than 90 countries, to further the association's mission to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, and collaboration.
"We are proud and delighted that José Baselga has been elected President of the AACR," says Memorial Sloan Kettering President and CEO Craig B. Thompson. "Dr. Baselga is a committed clinician, a distinguished researcher, as well as a visionary and enthusiastic leader and collaborator with his colleagues throughout our institution. I know he will bring these same qualities to bear on his leadership of the AACR as he works to advance progress in the prevention, biology, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer."Back to top
An innovative laboratory and clinical researcher
Dr. Baselga is an internationally recognized physician-scientist with a special interest in translational and early clinical research as well as on the identification of novel mechanisms of resistance to current cancer therapies. His laboratory research includes the development of novel molecularly targeted cancer therapies, with a special focus on breast cancer and therapeutic approaches to targeting the PI3K pathway. His work in the preclinical and early clinical development of therapies has helped introduce a number of new targeted agents including trastuzumab and lapatinib.
More recently, he led the early clinical development and pivotal clinical studies that resulted in approval by the US Food and Drug Administration of two drugs for the treatment of breast cancer — pertuzumab for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic disease, and everolimus for the treatment of advanced hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
Dr. Baselga joined Memorial Sloan Kettering in 2013 from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) where he was Chief of the Division of Hematology/Oncology and Associate Director of the MGH Cancer Center. He did his medical oncology fellowship at Memorial Hospital and was a faculty member on the Breast/Gynecology Service from 1994 through 1996, after which he returned to his native Spain.
He is past president of the European Society for Medical Oncology, and has served on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the AACR. He is also a founding editor-in-chief (with Lewis C. Cantley) of the AACR's journal, Cancer Discovery.
Dr. Baselga has also been the recipient of many awards of honors, among them ASCO's Young Investigator and Career Development Award and the AACR-Rosenthal Family Foundation Award.Back to top

Congratulations, Dr. Baselga. I read of your appointment as reviewed in La Vanguardia. The position could not go to anyone more qualified than yourself. Dedication is your asset -- I appreciated the attention paid to me as well as your expertise when you treated me at the Quiron Clinique in 1998. I was in good hands.

Winter has packed its bags and made way for Spring. Flowers have started to bloom as an early announcement of the coming season. If you think it's time for the decor to change, we are right there with you. We have listed down a few easy DIY decor ideas your whole family can enjoy making.
Wooden Spring Sign for Dad
When it comes to creating challenging crafts that involve power tools, it's best to let dad handle it. Give the man of the house the job of making this lovely wooden spring sign that you can display in your front porch or backyard. You can purchase a wooden board and some pre-cut wooden letters that spell out "spring", or dad may want to show off his carpentry skills with wood and power tools by cutting out the letters from wooden boards. Liz from Hoosier Homemade posted this lovely DIY spring wooden craft along with instructions on how to make one.

For NASCAR rationalists, the thought of Chad Knaus and Jimmie Johnson winning another Cup championship is blasphemy.
May as well spit on the grave of Dale Earnhardt or rip up Richard Petty's cowboy hat.
Knaus and Johnson are an acquired taste in some NASCAR circles, much like arsenic.
Knaus, Johnson's crew chief, has a reputation — and the suspensions documenting it — that he is either a very smart man who pushes things to the limits or a cheating rascal who should be bounced from the sport for his multiple indiscretions.

Via Facebook Tobias Sammet posted: "Thank you - Greatest fans in the world! I can't tell you how happy and proud I am! I have experienced a lot but so far I had never entered the charts in 17 countries on 3 continents simultaneously! WOW! Thank You!

At most Hollywood premieres, the star of the movie doesn't have to convince the audience to sit through their film.
But that was the case at the unveiling of Terrence Malick's "To the Wonder" Tuesday night, as Ben Affleck implored a theater full of people to stick with a movie that didn't follow a linear structure.
"I have probably said more up here than I do in the entire film," he joked to a crowd at West Hollywood's Pacific Design Center. Indeed, as a man torn between a French beauty (Olga Kurylenko) and his hometown love (Rachel McAdams), Affleck barely utters more than a few sentences throughout the entire movie.
As for Malick, the famously press-shy director of the film, he stayed far away from the red carpet. The producers of "To the Wonder" said the filmmaker was at home in Texas editing his next picture, but Malick is almost never spotted at the premieres of his movies -- something his actors said they understand.
"I don't think it's the easiest thing to talk about," McAdams said on the red carpet. "He comes from a time when directors didn't necessarily have to pimp out their films."
Though he wasn't in attendance Tuesday evening, Malick was by all accounts a forceful presence on set. He gave Affleck copies of Walker Percy's "The Moviegoer" and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov" to help him get into character. And over the course of the shoot, he urged his actors to be prepared to act even during off-hours.
"He basically said, 'Hey, is it OK if we walk into your room and start filming you first thing in the morning?'" Kurylenko recalled with a smile. "He never did it, but that was the metaphor of the way he shoots -- you have to wake up as the character."
It's a lot of work to put in for an actor -- especially ones who aren't sure their performance will make the final cut. Rachel Weisz, Michael Sheen, Amanda Peet and Barry Pepper were all part of the original cast, though none appear in the movie's final version.
McAdams insisted that even if that had been her fate with "To the Wonder," she would have treasured the chance to work with "a master."
"I think I would have enjoyed it even if I had been cut out of the film because I would have gained a lot of experience from working with him," the actress said. "It taught me to be organic and in my body and let go of a lot of expectations."

Robert Bappe, 81 - June 17, 2009
Robert E. Bappe, 81, of Lexington died Sunday, June 14, 2009, at Gothenburg Memorial Hospital Long Term Care Unit.
A visitation will be held Thursday, June 18, from 5-7 p.m. at the Reynolds-Love Funeral Home at Lexington.
Services will be held on Friday, June 19, at 10:30 a.m. at the Evangelical Free Church of Lexington with the Rev. Duane Russell officiating. Burial with military honors will take place at the Greenwood Cemetery at Lexington.
Bappe was born March 26, 1928, at Mallard, IA, to Charles Everett and Mildred Marie (Peterson) Bappe. He grew up in the Ames, IA, area where he graduated in 1946 from Ames High School, where he played on the state championship football team.
Following graduation, he served his country in the United States Army from May 31, 1946, to May 31, 1949, serving overseas in the Aleutian Islands.
Upon his discharge, he returned to the United States where he went to work for the Union Pacific Railroad and moved to Lexington. He made Lexington his home because of his love for the beautiful Platte River and meeting his future bride, according to family members.
Bappe was united in marriage to Norma Jean Henderson on Sept. 29, 1953, at the United Methodist Church in Lexington. To this union, two sons were born.
He continued his work for the railroad as a telegrapher clerk, and for the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier. He also worked several second jobs at different times including Mead Lumber, Texaco Bulk plant, the REA Express, and helped several area farmers until retiring in March of 1990. Even though retiring, he still helped farm when he was needed.
?Bappe enjoyed teaching his sons to hunt and fish, and he loved the outdoors, said family members. He had many talents including mechanic and carpentry skills. He also enjoyed gathering wood, reading, playing cards, having coffee with friends and his four-mile walk, according to family members.
He was a member of the Evangelical Free Church, Duck's Unlimited, AARP, NRA, Pony Express Ramrodders, the American Legion, VFW and Heartland Military Museum.
Bappe was preceded in death by: his parents, Charles and Mildred; a brother-in-law, Bob Danielson.
Survivors include: his wife, Norma Bappe of Lexington; his two sons—Michael (Sandy) Bappe of Cozad, and Mark (Becky) Bappe of Pavillion, WY; two brothers—Dale (Nina) Bappe of Marion, IA, and Don (Bonnie) Bappe of Ames; a sister, Joan Danielsen of Rock Island, IL; four grandchildren—Shane (Ruby) Bappe of Lincoln, Amy (Blaine) Lauby of Kearney, and Bethany and Luke Bappe of Pavillion; two great-grandsons—Damian and Ethan of Lincoln; many nieces, nephews and other relatives; his companion and pet, Skippy.
Memorials are suggested to the Evangelical Free Church and the American Cancer Society.

These look so fun---to use as stencils, etc., but I want to try them will some 3 dimentional paste. I had previously ordered the 12x12 size,but think that the smaller size might be even more useful.
Perfect size for all kinds of mixed media! Very detailed!
I must admit I use and abuse my stencils! I use paints, inks, modeling paste, wood icing, glass beads, and all kinds of other "mediums" with my stencils, but with these I was a bit hesitant. They are very thin and delicate. If you are very careful, you are not restricted to thier use.

BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) — A medical examiner says the wife of the suspected gunman was among three women killed in a shooting rampage at a suburban Milwaukee spa.
The Waukesha County medical examiner's office said Monday that 42-year-old Zina Haughton, of Brown Deer, was killed Sunday at the Azana Day Spa.
The other victims are 35-year-old Cary L. Robuck of Racine and 38-year-old Maelyn M. Lind of Oconomowoc (oh-KAHN'-oh-moh-wahk).
Four more women were injured and remain hospitalized. One is in critical condition and the other three are in satisfactory condition. Their names haven't been released.
Police say the suspect, 45-year-old Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the spa.
A court awarded Zina Haughton a four-year restraining order against her husband last week after she said he threatened her.

$400,000 bond set for teen in Detroit mob attack
Apr. 12, 2014
DETROIT (AP) — A 16-year-old Detroit boy charged with assault and ethnic intimidation was ordered Saturday to be held on a $400,000 bond in the brutal beating of a suburban motorist.
The serious nature of the mob attack on 54-year-old Steve Utash and the severity of his injuries necessitated a high bond, Circuit Court Referee Raeigen Woods told the teen and his parents during the hearing at a Wayne County juvenile detention center.
Utash was punched and kicked by several people as he stopped April 2 to check on 10-year-old David Harris, who was struck when he stepped in front of Utash's pickup truck.
Utash remains in critical condition with severe head injuries. Harris was treated for leg and other injuries.
Before Woods announced the teen's bond, assistant prosecutor Matthew Penney argued it should be as high as the $500,000 bonds given to each of four men also charged in the case.
"What actually occurred was the savage beating of an innocent man," Penney added. "By his own admission, he was one of the first to throw punches."
The teen turns 17 next month and could have been charged as an adult if he were already that age, Penney said.
Detroit police were investigating whether the attack was racially motivated — Utash is white. His attackers are black.
Evidence in the case only linked the teen to an ethnic intimidation charge, according to prosecutors.
Defense attorney Sterling Coleman asked the court for a substantially lower bond, saying the teen "is not charged with a capital case and should not be given the same as those charged in a capital manner."
"He is not a flight risk," Coleman said. "Both parents are in his life. They presented him to the police."
The Associated Press is not releasing the teen's name because of his age. His parents declined to speak with reporters.
Utash's daughter, Mandi Emerick, told The Associated Press on Friday that her father recently was taken off a ventilator and is able to speak on his own. Utash is a tree trimmer from Macomb County's Clinton Township.
The teen is due back in court on Thursday.
Bruce Wimbush Jr., 17; Latrez Cummings, 19; Wonzey Saffold, 30; and James Davis, 24, have been arraigned on assault with intent to murder and assault with intent to commit great bodily harm charges. They face April 21 preliminary examinations.

As soon as he ripped up the middle of the field for a 52-yard gain against the first team defense Saturday in Virginia Tech's first full scrimmage of the preseason, J.C. Coleman was able to breathe a giant sigh of relief.
He shrugged off a fractured right hand, the product of something (he's not sure what – maybe a blow absorbed from a helmet or a shoulder pad) that took place in Thursday's practice, and became the highlight of the scrimmage on an afternoon that featured a more fast-paced offensive approach.
"I was definitely waiting for that (big run)," said Coleman, a true freshman who graduated from Oscar Smith High in Chesapeake. "It was like a big monkey off my back."
Coleman finished the day with four carries for 54 yards. He conceded a blocking miscue when he let a defensive end get past him for a sack, but he didn't show any negative effects from the hand, which had a light wrap around it.
"I feel like a hand shouldn't slow anyone down," said Coleman, who added the hand wasn't hurting him immediately after the scrimmage, and he doesn't favor the hand when he carries the ball, takes a handoff or tries to catch a pass.
Coleman was the biggest spark in Tech's running game, which produced 222 yards on 38 carries, while quarterbacks Logan Thomas, Mark Leal and Trey Gresh all had decent days throwing the ball. Thomas completed 8 of 15 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. Leal's accuracy – 6 of 16 – left something to be desired, but he still racked up 111 yards and a touchdown. Gresh completed all eight of his pass attempts for 94 yards and a touchdown.
Though Coleman is technically third on the running back depth chart, behind Michael Holmes (three carries for 21 yards in the scrimmage) and Martin Scales (two carries for 11 yards), Coleman is a true freshman who is certain to see playing time this season.
Tech coach Frank Beamer, who said he thought Coleman and Holmes both "ran with a burst" in the scrimmage, will meet Sunday with his coaching staff to further discuss which true freshmen could factor into the team's plans this fall. The idea is identify those freshmen so they can get more reps in practice leading up to the season.
Some of the true freshmen, other than Coleman, with a good chance to play this season include punter/placekicker Brooks Abbott, wide receiver Joel Caleb, running back Trey Edmunds, free safety Desmond Frye, cornerback Donaldven Manning, cornerback Donovan Riley, wide receiver Joshua Stanford, cornerback Davion Tookes and punter Hunter Windmuller. All of those guys are either already in the two-deep depth chart, or challenging for spots in the two-deep.
Hughes may have turned some heads with his punting. Beamer said he liked what he saw from both Hughes and Windmuller, but Hughes was impressive with three punts for an average of 53.7 yards per attempt (though his longest punt of 62 yards got the benefit of a roll of more than 20 yards). All three of Hughes' punts, which had decent hang time, came to rest inside the 20-yard line.
While the freshmen punters excelled, the young backup defensive backs weren't nearly as impressive. Riley, who was working with the No. 2 defense, was burned twice on touchdown passes – a 40-yard completion from Leal, the No. 2 quarterback, to receiver Kevin Asante, and a 37-yard completion from Thomas to receiver Corey Fuller.
"We're going to have some freshmen...in that 2nd group of secondary guys," Beamer said. "That's just going to be a fact."
Sophomore walk-on cornerback Carl Jackson, who has spent time this preseason playing with the No. 2 defense, surrendered a 37-yard touchdown pass from Gresh, the No. 3 quarterback, to receiver E.L. Smiling.
Tech's increased speed getting out of the huddle and to the line of scrimmage, plus an abundance of shotgun formations, demonstrated more of what offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring has been talking about this preseason – the Hokies' desire to spread the field a little more. The pace could also keep defenses on their heels.
"It gives us more plays, and it puts the defense in a bind sometimes-keeps them off-balance," said Thomas, who added after the scrimmage in an off-topic discussion that he was "shocked" when he saw ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper had him fourth on his "big board" of prospects for next year's draft.
The backup receivers seemed to take to the pace, as Asante (four catches for 79 yards and a touchdown), Fuller (three catches for 68 and a touchdown) and Smiling (two catches for 46 yards and a touchdown) led the way for the pass-catchers. Of course, they benefited from getting more time on the field with backup receivers D.J. Coles (knee) and Demitri Knowles (neck sprain) both on the sideline.
"I think we need to...kind of dictate the tempo," Beamer said. "The key there is for us to know exactly what we're doing and maybe create some doubt in the defense."
While defensive end James Gayle (injuries to both ankles) was among other players that missed the scrimmage, which seriously hampered the kinds of looks Tech's offensive line got from a defense that was trying out some blitz and stunt packages, left guard David Wang (sprained ankle) was able to fully participate with the first team.
With Tech now 10 practices deep into its slated 23 practices before the season-opener, it's time to get serious about preparation for the Sept. 1 game against Georgia Tech. Beamer said the coaching staff will begin game-planning for Georgia Tech early this coming week, and the attention in practice will turn to Georgia Tech near the end of the week.
