text: Student Profiles Dana Borowitz '08 Dana Borowitz '08 Major: History, Minor: Film Studies Hometown: Briarcliff Manor, New York Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? People rarely believe this, but Joshua Chamberlain factored into my decision to come to Bowdoin in a major way. All of my family members went to big universities, so I really knew nothing about small, liberal arts colleges when I was younger. When I learned about the Civil War in 8th grade, however, my father suggested that I might some day look into Joshua Chamberlain's alma mater. After that, I started hearing more and more about Bowdoin, including the fact that my favorite teacher during high school, William Davies, is a Bowdoin alum. I figured that Bowdoin deserved serious consideration since it had produced two people who really inspired me. I first visited Bowdoin when the lobster bake was underway, and that certainly made an impression, as well. Everyone looked happy, the food was delicious, and the weather was gorgeous; what more could I have wanted? My family also visited the Chamberlain Museum and posed with his statue, which made my father very happy. For me, though, walking around campus and seeing the beauty of the Quad really convinced me that I wanted the type of comfortable, welcoming environment that Bowdoin provides to every student. Why did you choose your major? I knew from the very moment I graduated from high school that I would become a history major. I grew up with a general knowledge of the histories of America, England, and Israel, and I always looked forward to history class in middle and high school. I even used to go to camp at Sunnyside, the home of Washington Irving, where we would play colonial-era games and learn how to make colonial-era crafts. I loved that sort of thing. Choosing history as a major also allowed me to legitimately study my favorite subject of all: popular culture. I believe that analyzing mainstream culture is the most interesting way to get a sense for distant eras, and I am definitely one of those misguided, nostalgic types who pines for a past I never knew. Let's just say I have read a ludicrous amount of studies on 1960s British Invasion pop, know a few too many lyrics to Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and spent far too much time dressing up like Laura Ingalls Wilder as an elementary school student. As a history major, I can do further research in areas that have interested me all my life, while I am also constantly exposed to new topics from eras with which I am less familiar. Also, the fact that you can use literature and other forms of entertainment as historical evidence gives the major a much broader appeal. Bowdoin history professors are, by and large, not as strict about learning names and dates as they are about seeing the bigger picture, so you can be extremely creative within the field. Practically, history majors develop strong analytical skills and graduate with a greater understanding of the precedents out of which modern society emerged. By examining context and connections in history, I think I have a more nuanced view of the world in general. Minoring in film studies definitely fits in with my major because film is so reflective of 20th-century history. I have taken courses on American, Russian and German film and all of the films we look at have larger implications for the culture at the time in which they were produced. Film studies really takes popular entertainment seriously, and I appreciate the intellectual seriousness with which we approach film at Bowdoin. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? Although I have enjoyed almost every class that I've taken here, two courses really stand out for me. The first is Film Studies 321: German Expressionism and Its Legacy, taught by Tricia Welsch. The class had the most interesting lineup of films: from those of the Weimar era in Germany to the later American films that expressionism influenced, such as Night of the Hunter from the '50s and Rumble Fish, a Coppola film from the '80s. Our class had great discussions and debates about the films we watched, because so many of them were disorienting and seemed inscrutable, yet when we looked into their themes on a deeper level it was easy for us to see the ways in which the filmmakers succeeded at expressing the most abstract but recognizable human emotions through their art. There were only about a dozen students in the seminar, and we always had very fluid conversations in which every student played an active role. My other favorite class would have to be David Hecht's History 277: Trials of the 20th Century. We started the first day of class by talking about the Harry K. Thaw trial, dubbed the "trial of the century" in 1906, and then we looked at many of the most important trials that followed in order to see what they could tell us about American life during their eras. The common theme to almost all of the trials was that they each received an enormous amount of media attention and really became the focal point for debates among Americans about cultural values and the concept of justice. Although each of the trials ultimately became a part of pop culture, my favorite case that we studied was Leopold and Loeb's trial from 1924 because they were two really fascinating characters who showed up in various pop culture incarnations after their trial. Prof. Hecht encouraged class participation and, even though there were 35 students in his course, it was great to see that everyone had strong opinions about the cases. He also assigned great primary source readings, which ensured that students would keep up with the workload. As our final assignment, we had to write an in-depth paper about one of the trials we had covered, and even though it wasn't on the syllabus, I wrote about John Lennon's assassination. This turned out to be my favorite essay of my entire college career, and I really tried to get creative with it. I wonder if anyone else in my class got to cite a microfiche of a 1980s Playboy magazine article as one of their sources! What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? There are so many, and I will try to give each their due. Tricia Welsch should be an inspiration to everyone on campus; she is the only faculty member in the Department of Film Studies and manages to care deeply about the success of each of her many students. Film studies is an incredibly popular minor on campus, and Prof. Welsch might be the reason why: she takes film incredibly seriously, knows how to convey her excitement about film to students and always assigns interesting work in her classes. On the history front, my advisor Sarah McMahon has always given me guidance whenever I needed it, and she is so enthusiastic in class that it is hard not to be moved by the material. When she talks about a particular moment in time, it is almost as though you get transported there because she weaves details and descriptive facts into the greater themes of her lectures so seamlessly. I always feel at home when I go in to discuss my major or just to chat with her. I have taken two classes with David Hecht, and in each one he has infused the course material with an intellectual curiosity that is extremely valuable to his students. Besides being a great guy to talk to in general, he has also been incredibly supportive of my interest in pop culture. In my Cold War seminar, we were assigned several papers on a single topic that we were supposed to develop throughout the semester. I started out by focusing on the Six Day War in relation to the Soviet/American power struggle, and in the eleventh hour, after successfully completing my first paper on that subject, I suddenly felt compelled to write about the UFO sighting craze as a Cold War phenomenon. Since the upsurge in sightings began in the late '40s, I knew I had a case, but it was a bit insane to start so late in the game! Still, Prof. Hecht understood my enthusiasm and helped me with every step of the process. He really does care about his students, which is obvious in class as well as in office hours. Page Herrlinger and Dallas Denery have also inspired me, as both are so knowledgeable about the material in the courses they teach and strive to convey their interests to their students in fun and interesting lectures and discussions. Plus, Prof. Herrlinger makes a mean borscht and Prof. Denery always tells funny stories at the beginning of class. In a completely unrelated area, Marilyn Reizbaum taught Introduction to Poetry last semester, and even though I did not feel confident at all about analyzing and writing poetry, she was incredibly supportive and always told me to stop stressing out and relax. She was always willing to meet about a paper, even if she thought I didn't need the help, just so that I wouldn't worry. The consideration and encouragement she gave me really helped me get through a stressful semester, and I'll always appreciate that. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? I have been involved with the Bowdoin Cable Network since December of freshman year, and ever since then it has essentially taken over my life. I started working on BCNews at the tail end of its first semester, and started producing, editing, directing and anchoring the show in the fall of sophomore year. When I say I spend about 40 hours a week doing things for the show, this is probably an understatement; between conducting interviews, answering e-mails, writing stories and producing a 30-minute program each Sunday under constant threat of technical difficulties and server meltdowns, let's just say I sometimes view homework as a leisure activity. I have really tried to improve the show from its somewhat-primitive beginnings: this year we are doing more on-location shooting and I am encouraging my writers to edit their own stories and footage, which is what beginning journalists do on the job. I really think that the show provides a great outlet for students interested in broadcast journalism and production. This year, I am also co-leading BCN with my friend Steven Bartus, who is the general manager and my ally. I am responsible for all of the programming on our closed circuit network, which means that most of my time has gone into developing new content. Previously, BCN had perhaps three or four shows in production, but so far I've heard over a dozen pitches for new shows and I hope to carry through with production on many of them. I want to get as many people involved with the organization as possible because the studio is a wonderful resource that is often overlooked. I am also a writing assistant with Bowdoin's Writing Project. I was nominated to become an assistant during my freshman year, and I have really enjoyed being able to help my fellow students improve their writing skills. I'd have to admit that editing papers makes me much less stressed than editing video! I know how hard it can be for students at Bowdoin to become confident about their writing skills, because our coursework can be extremely challenging. I tutor a student in a writing partnership through the program, as well, and I think the personal relationship we've developed and the growth I have seen in this student's writing over the years is one of the most rewarding aspects of my involvement with the Writing Project. What have you done during your summers? After my freshman year, I went traveling around Europe with my family to visit our relatives in Brussels, Amsterdam and Lugano. Going to college has made me realize how much I appreciate and love my family, so I always try to spend as much time with my parents and sister as possible when I am free to do so. That summer presented the perfect opportunity for this. The summer after sophomore year, I interned at Plum TV in New York's Bridgehampton as a producer/editor. The hours were insane: we got to the set every morning at 6:00 and sometimes didn't leave until 10:00 at night. We also only got 1.5 days off and didn't get paid...but it was a great experience. I got a bunch of my segments aired, covered several very swanky and star-studded events and I read the event calendar section of the news on-air during the Plum TV Morning Noon and Night Show broadcast. I learned so much about stage managing, filming, and editing that it almost made up for the fact that I pinched a nerve in my neck while lugging around cameras and other equipment. From that experience, which affects me to this day, I also learned that sometimes you don't need to push yourself to the limit to do a good job, and that the most important thing for many control freaks/perfectionists to learn is how to delegate tasks to those who are more capable, or in my case, strong enough to pick up heavy tripods! This past summer I interned at MTV Networks in New York City for a vice president of series development. This vice president oversaw the production of such programming as The Real World and Making the Band, and although I reported to her assistant and helped him with office work and archival organization, I learned a lot simply by looking at the types of paperwork that came through the office and the types of documents that needed to be filed. My boss was incredibly nice and supportive, and I looked forward to work. Plus, I got to watch the cuts of certain episodes of the shows we worked on months before they aired, and it was interesting to see how my boss's notes on each cut translated into the final product. After my internship ended, I traveled to China, Taiwan and Japan for a month, which helped to make up for the fact that I never went abroad. I had a fabulous time, ate a lot of good food, and learned a lot about life in the Far East. Needless to say, it was a great summer! What is your best Bowdoin memory? From freshman year, I loved the nights when I would hang out in Coleman Hall with my friends Jon Ragins and Travis Dagenais, just listening to music, talking and relaxing. In sophomore year, nothing could beat the cross country team's parties in Coles Tower 7A, my favorite of which had to be our first techno music video dance party, where we hooked up a few TVs to our beloved DJ Tim Katlic's collection of European classics. I think everyone else on campus hated those parties, because we really blasted the techno, but they were great nonetheless. Then there were the Sunday nights last year when some combination of Frank Chi, DJ, Alex Cornell du Houx, Clark Gascoigne and the Ironic T-Shirt guys would hang out editing work on their own projects in the BCN studio while I feverishly tried to put BCNews together. This always led to a weird atmosphere, because we would end up venting to each other about current events, or politics, or how devastating it is when that spinning ball pops up while you're in the middle of saving your project. There's something about the production process that makes everyone a little bit crazy, but it was comforting to have some solidarity with other crazy people, at least. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at Thorne Hall always make for classic Bowdoin memories, as does any seasonal event, really. I also love every trip I've taken to beaches in Maine. I went swimming in the Maine waters for the first time ever at the behest of my boyfriend, Mike Young, on September 3, 2005, at Popham, and I will always remember the beautiful weather and the absolute happiness that I felt there. I got to interview OK Go in 2006 when they came for Ivies, and they ended up talking to me for about 40 minutes, so that certainly made me feel special because I am a big fan of theirs! More recently, I took a trip to an Alpaca farm to get footage of "Alpaca Farm Day" for the news, and I got a huge kick out of that, to the amusement of my friends. I think when I look back on Bowdoin after I graduate, I will miss the parties and the outings, but I will also remember the low-key dinners at Brunswick restaurants with my friends and the walks around the Bowdoin Quad that I take when the weather is misty and grey and the leaves are changing colors. What are your plans for after graduation? I hope to work in production development for a television network. I would really enjoy choosing shows to produce and following the projects through to fruition. No matter what I end up doing, though, I hope to have a positive impact on pop culture in some creative capacity. Also, I'd really like to meet Pete Townshend and somehow finagle a ticket to the Led Zeppelin world tour that's supposedly going to happen. Can you tell that the thought of graduating makes me a bit nervous? Well, the first part was serious. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Leave your high school baggage behind you when you get to college. No one at Bowdoin will care how popular or unpopular you were in high school as long as you try to make friends and become active in the community. There's nothing worse than the student who sits around all day watching TV (which I probably shouldn't say, since I hope to make TV eventually), because there are so many opportunities to do something great once you get to Bowdoin. With initiative, you can become a campus leader with relative ease, and if you feel, for any reason, as though your interests aren't represented by any academic department or existing club, you can put together your own organization to solve this problem. Then again, Bowdoin has such a diverse student body that you are bound to fit in somewhere. Even within groups that interest you, though, there is always room to truly and constructively contribute to the campus environment. Consequently, you should do whatever you can to blow off stress as often as possible. The work load here is demanding, especially if you are heavily involved in extracurriculars, but it is important to remember to enjoy life and spend time with friends because you only have four years on campus! What quirky or fun thing did you wish you knew before you came to Bowdoin? I wish I had known that I'd eventually become a track team groupie, because I never would have believed it! Ever since I was forced to play field hockey in 7th grade and subsequently received three concussion-creating blows to the head by hockey sticks, I have had an irrational hatred for team sports. However, my proctor group in freshman year was populated almost entirely by members of the track team. Through them, I met their teammates, and now most of my best friends are cross country or track team athletes. It's actually a bit ridiculous, but it has worked out well because many of the people on the staff at BCN are friends of mine from the track team who have joined because of my persistent entreaties. When new classes of track kids come to school, they inevitably ask if I am a member of the team. Alas, I still fear sports, but I have come to respect my friends for their self-discipline, their commitment to good health, and their all-around skills on the course, in academics, and in leadership positions. Coming into college as an alleged alterna-chick with blue, purple and pink George Clinton-esque hair, I just never thought I'd end up the straight-edge, healthy-living square that I am now, but I am all the happier for it. Thanks, track team! Story posted on October 08, 2007 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some conservative House Republicans are making life difficult for Speaker John Boehner as he reaches for a "fiscal cliff" pact with President Barack Obama, insisting they will oppose a deal that increases taxes. Others, however, are giving him room to negotiate, hoping he produces something they can support.
With the clock ticking down on the bargaining, the "fiscal cliff" — sweeping tax increases and budget cuts that begin in January unless an accord is reached to avert them — is testing conservatives' unity and their leverage.
A year after wielding considerable clout in repeated budget clashes against the White House, two factors have weakened conservatives trying to prevent a GOP agreement with Obama that they don't like:
— Republican Election Day losses of the White House as well as seats in the House and Senate following a campaign in which Obama pressed hard for tax boosts on the wealthiest Americans.
— Polls showing that voters would largely blame Republicans should a stalemate with the president trigger the cliff's tax boosts and spending cuts.
In a significant movement toward Obama's insistence on higher tax rates, Boehner is now willing to let them rise on the 368,000 households with annual incomes above $1 million as part of package that would swell the government's revenues by $1 trillion over the next decade.
Yet even with GOP pragmatists saying it's time to agree to Obama's demands for higher tax rates for the rich, some conservatives want Boehner to reject any tax increases at all.
"If there's any blame to be placed, it's squarely on his shoulders," Rep. Jeff Landry, R-La., said recently about Boehner, referring to House-approved spending levels and deficits of the past two years.
Landry, who lost his re-election bid, is a member of the tea party-backed House GOP freshman class of 2010. Saying he would oppose any deal raising income tax rates, Landry said of the government: "I'm not giving this beast any more money to grow."
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a veteran House conservative leader, took a more measured tone but said he would vote against a compromise raising tax rates. "Tax increases are not conducive to growing economies and creating jobs," he said.
Yet still other conservatives, while opposing tax increases, are doing little to hold Boehner's feet to the fire on the issue. They acknowledge they've been weakened by the "fiscal cliff" itself since taxes for nearly all taxpayers automatically rise Jan. 1 if the two sides fail to reach an agreement.
"We don't see how we have a whole lot of leverage," said freshman Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas.
"Speaker Boehner needs room to negotiate," said Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., another freshman. "I think he knows that I and the others are not in favor of tax-rate increases. But the speaker is going to do what he believes is in the best interest of the conference," he said, meaning House Republicans, "and knowing he has to get the votes."
Earlier this month, Boehner and other House GOP leaders removed four conservatives — including three freshmen — from desirable committee assignments after they'd cast votes defying party leadership. The move was seen by conservatives as punishment for refusing to abandon their principles, yet those targeted have offered few signs that their behavior will change.
"I have more support than I've ever had back in my district," said one of them, Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich. He said if Boehner visited his southern Michigan district, "he's not going to be met with very much welcome."
Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., said she would be open to compromise if the ultimate package included significant spending cuts. She also suggested the possibility of a path some consider unthinkable but that some liberals have also supported — letting the tax increases and spending cuts take effect without a satisfactory deal, since Congress could roll them back if a pact was reached later.
Too much is being made of going over the cliff, she said, "as if it's the equivalent of the Mayan calendar on the 21st of December. It's not."
The Mayan calendar's 5,125-year cycle ends on Dec. 21, prompting some people to worry the world will end that day.
Meanwhile, conservative interest groups are trying to pressure Republicans to oppose any tax boosts.
"If they vote for tax rate increases, they're likely going to have a primary opponent and have a tough 2014," Chris Chocola, president of the conservative Club for Growth, said in an interview.
The group spent $10 million in the 2012 campaigns opposing GOP candidates it considered not conservative enough, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks election spending.
"I would presume a Republican primary would be a red flashing light in many places," said Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., another freshman disciplined by Boehner who says he will oppose tax increases.
Americans for Tax Reform, headed by anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, has sent a petition to the 150,000 people on its email list.
Most GOP lawmakers have signed Norquist's pledge promising to oppose tax increases, though some now say addressing the government's fiscal problems outweighs the pledge.
The petition urges lawmakers "to keep the promise they made to their constituents to not raise taxes." More than 38,000 people had signed it by late last week, said group spokesman John Kartch.

Butler County Extension Gives Advice on Food Safety After a Flood
Food contamination is often a problem after a flood because floodwaters can carry silt, raw sewage, oil or chemical wastes, says a University of Missouri Extension specialist.
"Filth and disease-causing bacteria can contaminate any food the water contacts and make that food unsafe to eat," said Phyllis Flanigan, MU Extension human development specialist and county program director for Butler and Ripley counties.
"You will need to discard all food and any garden produce," she said. "You will also want to disinfect your kitchen utensils and cookware, and clean and disinfect all surfaces in the kitchen just like other parts of the home."

A Winter Haven man has returned for the first time in 27 years to Chain of Lakes Park , where he was abused as a child by a Boston Red Sox clubhouse manager.
WINTER HAVEN | A Winter Haven man has returned for the first time in 27 years to Chain of Lakes Park , where he was abused as a child by a Boston Red Sox clubhouse manager.
Leeronnie Ogletree has shared his story with cable television host Lisa Ling for her show "Lisa Ling's Our America."
Ling's topic on the show airing Tuesday is children molested by coaches.
Ogletree, 49, said that as a child, he would sneak away from his Winter Haven home to watch the Red Sox at the ballpark.
"Little did I know that one of the world's most notorious pedophiles is watching me too," Ogletree said.
He said that he eventually was invited into the clubhouse with his "heroes" and was sexually abused by clubhouse manager Donald Fitzpatrick on his first day inside.
Ogletree, 10 at the time, said he kept the abuse a secret in exchange for access to players.
"When I was invited to come down and meet some of the players, it blew me away," Ogletree said. "And then by him bringing me into the clubhouse and introducing me to Hall-of-Famers, Ted Williams and everybody, and them telling me I could be one of the greatest ballplayers ever, I chose to stay with baseball versus tell my parents."
The episode, "Predator in the Clubhouse," airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. on the Oprah Winfrey Network. It also tells the stories of a California woman who was sexually abused by two of her teachers, including her female gym teacher, and Charles Crawford of Boston, who said he, too, was abused by Fitzpatrick.
The episode chronicles Olgetree's life as a young boy, his quest later in life to bring Fitzpatrick to justice, and his efforts to help young children protect themselves from other pedophiles. The episode was shot in Winter Haven in December.
Ogletree recently has founded the Leeronnie Ogletree Abused Kids Foundation and said he hopes to speak to groups of families to inform parents and their children of the risks and signs of abuse, and to not keep abuse a secret, as he did.
"If I would have brought this home to my parents, my mom would have immediately called the cops. But I chose to hide what was happening to me for the love of the game of baseball," Ogletree said.
As an adult, Ogletree worked with police to secure a secretly taped confession that led to charges against Fitzpatrick, who pleaded guilty to attempted sexual battery. In 2002, Fitzpatrick received a 10-year suspended sentence and 15 years' probation. A year later, the Red Sox reached a $3.15 million settlement with seven men who had been abused as children by Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick died at age 76 in 2005.
Ogletree said he still has trouble accepting the lenient sentence.
"It's sickening to think that here it is only 10 years ago that you can walk out of a courtroom with capital crimes," Ogletree said.
"I screamed ... I remember hollering and screaming, 'How could you do this?' They asked me if I would go along with this. I said no."
Ling said the episode is an important story for families and one of the most important she has done in her show's four seasons.
"I think this will help parents better prepare for what to look for with their own kids and their own families," Ling said. "Over 90 percent of sexual abusers are people the families know.
"It seems like only a few days go by when we aren't hearing about sex abuse involving children. Very rarely do we get an opportunity to know what life is like for these kids when they reach adulthood. For us, it was important to get a sense of what it's like for these kids down the road."
Ogletree said he has just recently gotten to a point where he can move forward, but he wants to help other people on an international level.
"Where I see myself 10 years from now is working with world leaders on child abuse," Ogletree said. "This is something that, when you have an epidemic, a crisis, all world leaders work together.
"This is something that all world leaders have got to work to come back to put a stop to it.
"I'm dedicating the rest of my life to preventing this from happening."

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — The Florida prisoner who stabbed a detective and escaped near Dallas while being transported to Nevada is "a schizophrenic" who vowed not to return to prison, according to authorities and a 911 call released Wednesday.
Alberto Morales, 42, escaped Monday after using a piece from his eyeglasses to stab Miami-Dade Detective Jaime Pardinas, one of two officers transferring the prisoner by car to Nevada. The escape happened while they were stopped in a Wal-Mart store parking lot in Grapevine, a community near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Grapevine police spokesman Robert Eberling said authorities continue to search near the airport and will do so until they believe they should look elsewhere. He said the search covers "any place anybody can hide," including yards and drainage ditches.
Eberling said inmates who knew Morales in prison have told investigators that he had vowed not to return.
"He's made it pretty clear that he's not going back to prison," Eberling said.
On a recording of a 911 call released Wednesday, Pardinas can be heard breathing heavily as he tells the operator that he's been stabbed. He described Morales' height, weight and appearance and then added, "He's a schizophrenic."
On another 911 call, a bystander told the operator: "There's a guy with a gun and somebody on the floor bleeding." The caller than clarified that "the guy with the gun is helping the guy that's bleeding."
Pardinas was accompanied by Miami-Dade Detective David Carrero during the transfer. They flew to Houston with Morales and then decided to drive the rest of the way after he became disruptive on the flight. They had stopped near the store while waiting for a third officer who was flying to the Dallas area to join them. Department policy requires three officers to be present for ground transfers of prisoners.
Pardinas, 54, remained hospitalized Wednesday after undergoing surgery for deep stab wounds to the neck, shoulder and back and a collapsed lung, said Miami-Dade police Sgt. Patricia Bimonte.
At a news conference outside the hospital in Dallas, Bimonte said Morales used a broken or sharpened piece from a pair of eyeglasses to stab Pardinas. The detective was in serious but stable condition Wednesday and it was unclear when he would be released, Bimonte said.
The sergeant warned the public that Morales has a history of crimes with a deadly weapon. "He has a horrible, horrible past," she said. "He's not going to hesitate to hurt somebody else."
Bimonte said she believed Morales was still in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and could not go far because he was wearing shackles, shorts and only one shoe.
"I can't believe that he's been able to get out of here," she said.
Eight to 10 Miami-Dade officers were expected to join Texas authorities and federal marshals in the manhunt, she said, and Morales could face charges of escape and attempted murder of a peace officer.
Bimonte said she could not address whether any security lapses might have been factors in the escape. Morales was able to escape even though he was shackled "appropriately," wearing handcuffs and a chain to prevent him from moving his arms, Eberling said.
Pardinas and Carrero were taking Morales to Nevada to serve a sentence of 30 years to life for a conviction of sexual assault with a weapon.
Police initially thought Morales might be in a vehicle stolen Tuesday morning at a motel near the airport, but Eberling said Wednesday that was not the case. He said the vehicle has been recovered in Dallas and is not believed to be connected to the incident.

Secondly, you should verify the file location. Legitimate Java software updater runs from C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01\bin\jucheck.exe. This part \jre1.6.0_01\ may vary depending on the version of the Java software installed on your computer. Malicious software usually runs from Windows temporary folder (%Temp%) or Windows system folder (%Windir%). If the jucheck.exe runs from C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp\jucheck.exe folder or from C:\Windows\jucheck.exe then you shouldn't allow it to run.
Finally, you can upload the suspicious file to VirusTotal, Jotti or VirScan to determine whether it's malicious or not. If the file is infected, you should get similar results: http://file.virscan.org/report/f1c42499897ee70aaa40cc4f1619571c.html
If you got the User Account Control (UAC) message about jucheck.exe from Unknown publisher asking you to make changes to your computer, please click No and scan your computer with legitimate anti-malware software.
Download recommended anti-malware software and run a full system scan to remove this Trojan from your computer.
NOTE: in some cases the rogue program may block anti-malware software. Before saving the selected program onto your computer, you may have to rename the installer to iexplore.exe or winlogon.exe With all of these tools, if running Windows 7 or Vista they MUST be run as administrator. Launch the program and follow the prompts. Don't forget to update the installed program before scanning.

So I had this on my computer, and I accidently clicked yes to the UAC. I removed the program from appdata/temp, I ran a couple of virus scans including MalwareBytes and avast. How do I know if I actually removed and or undid any damage?
When I clicked yes, it ran for a sec and then stopped, I am assuming that it installed some malware... But I don't know what malware.

Trying to use the VirusTotal and VirScan pages above, I cannot find my jucheck.exe file to upload to it. However, when I browse my System32 folder normally, it appears.
I have not yet accepted jucheck.exe into my computer, and it continues to ask to be approved. I wish this threat to be removed, but not quite sure how.
Neither of the Malware scans above are detecting this file. Neither are my normal anti-virus programs. What does this mean?

i was having this problem and it was a relatively easy fix. after turning on the hidden folders, i opened malwarebytes and under the more tools tab there was fileASSASSIN. i used this and went to (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp)
and selected the juscheck.exe and clicked open, which opens the file in fileASSASSIN and completely removes it from your computer. i havent had the popup ever since.

malwarebyte's fileASSASSIN worked great for me. thanks so much for the recommendation.
if you can't find the appdata folder, manually type in C:\Users\username\AppData\
then click local, then temp, then jucheck.
(make sure you are doing this in malwarebyte's fileASSASSIN and not just exploring the folder in windows)

The prompt to allow this keeps coming up no matter how many times I say not to allow it to run. How do I get rid of it???

I went through the process mentioned above and used the FileASSASSIN, and removed it from my comp. I did have to do the manual searching but I did find it and got rid of it. The problem is this was a week ago, and for some reason it's back again. When I click don't allow it just pops rite back up again, and this time I went through the process again, but i can't find it at all this time. Anyone else know what I have to do to make it stop?

To anyone who is seeing the UAC popup, but your anti-malware software is not detecting malware: Did you read the UAC popup to verify that the publisher was unknown? The "article" specifically states that if it's signed by Sun Microsystems, you're safe. Seems to me that if you're trying more than one scan and coming up with nothing, that there is nothing.
To the anonymous troll that said to switch to Linux or get a Mac: NO computer is impervious to viruses and other malware. The only reason you don't hear of Linux or Mac systems being hit is because hackers think about market-share... the vast majority of computers are Windows-based... so... write your malware to attack Windows computers. Duh.
Linux and Mac computers can be attacked by malware, as well... it's just less common. Why else would anti-malware software exist for both types of operating systems.
Get an education and stop believing hype.

Hi, as soon as a wacko troll on FB (known to be a programmer) started tormenting me, I got several email attempts to dump a virus, which I deleted. I blocked this nutcake & soon after got a notice to update Java with jucheck.exe. It "looked" OK, but the Sun Microsystems certificate expired almost a year ago -- surely Sun keeps up their digital certificates? Anyway, this is the path -- do you think it's OK?:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java\Java Update\jucheck.exe - auto"
My McAfee antivrus scan didn't detect a problem but I will keep hitting "no" on the invitation to update 'til I hear from you.
...BTW, I haven't been able to *find* the file despite many searches, & thus don't know how to delete it or upload it to the Spyware program you mentioned.
Thank you for being there for the rest of us!

ps - I finally found it on my computer! fyi, this file was "last modified" almost a year ago - does that seem reasonable for a current Java update?
And its 496 kb - is that a typical size for a valid jucheck.exe?
Thanks again!

I recently got hit by some malware similar to this one. Instead of jucheck.exe, it was named java.exe and no matter how many times I said "No", it just popped up the dialog again. When this dialog pops up, your entire desktop is frozen so you can't go to Task Manager or anything else. Your only choice is to click the "Change when these notifications appear" to get your desktop back, then run msconfig and disable the malware startup option and reboot. I had to scrub the entries in the registry for startup, the "Startup" folder under the menu structure for my account and the registry entry that says "launch this program whenever you launch cmd.exe" Tenacious little bugger! Scrubbing all of those out of my machine, I then went to delete the file. They had diddled the permissions such that I couldn't just delete it; first I had to give my user account full control in order to delete the file. I finally got it all removed, but I can see how any less technically inclined user (I'm a software developer) would just give in and click "Yes"

FastCAT Free Week Bolsters Rides, Awards Prizes
COLUMBIA - Columbia Transit offered free rides on its newest route, FastCAT Express, Jan. 22-27 and saw ridership increase by as much as 60 percent by day over the average daily ridership since the routes creation in August. The free week is one of many promotional activities the City of Columbia has implemented to increase awareness of the new route and gain more riders.
The ridership during the free week increased from the previous average daily ridership on FastCAT by 3 percent on Tuesday, 53 percent on Wednesday, 47 percent on Thursday, 60 percent on Friday, 56 percent on Saturday and 8 percent on Sunday.
"We are happy to see our efforts to market the new route are working," said John Glascock, Director of Public Works. "The more people who try out public transit and see that it can be a viable option, the better."
Along with offering free rides on FastCAT, Columbia Transit also held a contest during the free week incorporating a fact-of-the-day related to public transportation that was posted on the buses. To enter the contest, riders had to post the fact-of-the-day on Columbia Transit's Facebook page. One of the facts posted was "Riding the bus is 79 times safer than riding in your own car". The facts were gathered from reports conducted by the American Public Transportation Association.
Three lucky riders won free semester passes, giving them access to unlimited rides on FastCAT and the entire bus system through the end of May 2013.
"This (semester pass) is really great," said winner, Clayton Abner. "I can really use this."

Journo was arrested, says Qld cop
'Our bad', says stupid police media tweet
Queensland Police have told a press conference in Queensland that they did indeed arrest tech journalist Ben Grubb in their investigation of a Facebook vulnerability demonstrated at Australia's AusCERT conference on Sunday.
The arrest has outraged both the IT community and Australian media.
The police media unit had originally said that the Fairfax writer had not been arrested, but had been questioned, and his iPad had been retained. This was later corrected in a brief and insensitive Tweet in which the media unit said "Our bad @bengrubb was arrested for questioning briefly Our tweet last night was based on information provided at the time Apologies" (sic).
Speaking to the press conference, Detective Superintendent Brian Hay said the mixed message arose from the gap between the media unit and the investigation team. He also noted that recent changes to Queensland law draw a distinction between someone being arrested "for questioning" and someone who's arrested under suspicion of a crime.
He confirmed that the police are investigating the Facebook URL vulnerability demonstrated by Christian Heinrich on Sunday, in which the security researcher demonstrated gaining access to privacy-protected Facebook photographs of a rival researcher's wife.
The investigation was, Hay said, in response to a specific complaint about the presentation. "The complaint was in respect of the hacking incident that saw the private picture being obtained," he said.
He declined to comment on whether or not police have spoken to Heinrich, saying that the information was too specific to the current investigation. Heinrich has since left the conference and Queensland.
Detective superintendent Hay said Gribb's arrest "was for the purpose of the investigation – there is no charge pending," adding that "the interview had commenced with no arrest taking place."
Since the police's powers when someone is arrested for questioning include a power to "secure property" relevant to an investigation, El Reg assumes that the arrest occurred so as to invoke those powers and take possession of Grubb's iPad.
"If police feel someone's in possession of a product or a piece of evidence that's material to the investigation, we can … take possession of that," he said.
Hay also gave a backhander to what he regards as a laissez faire attitude in the security industry, saying that various "black hat" conferences still regard breaking into systems as something of a game, in which "crimes may have been committed". ®
Correction: A reader has alerted El Reg to a small correction. The Heinrich presentation was at the BSidesAU conference, which runs extra security sessions alongside AusCERT. ®

President Obama's net worth may be $7 million, but that's nothing compared to the net worth of these 10 former U.S. presidents.
1. George Washington
Continue Reading Below
> Net worth: $525 million > In office: 1789 to 1797 > 1st president
His Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, consisted of five separate farms on 8,000 acres of prime farmland, run by more than 300 slaves. His wife, Martha Washington, inherited significant property from her father. Washington made well more than subsequent presidents: his salary was 2% of the total U.S. budget in 1789.
2. Thomas Jefferson
> Net worth: $212 million > In office: 1801 to 1809 > 3rd president
Jefferson was left 3,000 acres and several dozen slaves by his father. Monticello, his home on a 5,000-acre plantation in Virginia, was one of the architectural wonders of its time. He made considerable money in various political positions before becoming president, but was mired in debt towards the end of his life.
3. Theodore Roosevelt
> Net worth: $125 million > In office: 1901 to 1909 > 26th president
Born to a prominent and wealthy family, Roosevelt received a sizable trust fund. He lost most of his money on a ranching venture in the Dakotas and had to work as an author to pay bills. Roosevelt spent most of his adult years in public service. His 235-acre estate, Sagamore Hill, now sits on some of the most valuable real estate on Long Island.
4. Andrew Jackson
> Net worth: $119 million > In office: 1829 to 1837 > 7th president
While he was considered to be in touch with the average middle-class American, Jackson quietly became one of the wealthiest presidents of the 1800s. "Old Hickory" married into wealth and made money in the military. His homestead, The Hermitage, included 1,050 acres of prime real estate. Over the course of his life, he owned as many as 300 slaves. Jackson entered considerable debt later in life.
5. James Madison
> Net worth: $101 million > In office: 1809 to 1817 > 4th president
Madison was the largest landowner in Orange County, Va. His land holding consisted of 5,000 acres and the Montpelier estate. He made significant wealth as Secretary of State and president. Madison lost money at the end of his life due to the steady financial collapse of his plantation.
6. Lyndon Baines Johnson
> Net worth: $98 million > In office: 1963 to 1969 > 36th president
Johnson's father lost all the family's money when LBJ was a boy. Over time, the 36th president accumulated 1,500 acres in Blanco County, Texas, which included his home, called the "Texas White House." He and his wife owned a radio and television station in Austin, Texas, and had a variety of other moderate holdings, including livestock and private aircraft.
7. Herbert Clark Hoover
> Net worth: $75 million > In office: 1929 to 1933 > 31st president
An orphan, Hoover was raised by his uncle, a doctor. He made a fortune as a mining company executive. He had a very large salary for 17 years and had extensive holdings in mining companies. Hoover donated his presidential salary to charity. He also owned "Hoover House" in Monterrey, Calif.
8. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
> Net worth: $60 million > In office: 1933 to 1945 > 32nd president
Roosevelt's wealth came through inheritance and marriage. He owned the 800-acre Springwood estate, as well as properties in Georgia, Maine and New York. In 1919, his mother had to bail him out of financial difficulty. He spent most of his adult life in public service. Before he was president, Roosevelt was appointed assistant secretary of the Navy by President Wilson.
9. William Jefferson Clinton
> Net worth: $55 million > In office: 1993 to 2001 > 42nd president
Unlike many presidents, Bill Clinton did not come from a wealthy family, nor did he have lucrative employment before his presidency. But since leaving office we estimate that Clinton has earned more than $125 million before taxes, with the vast majority of that coming from speaking fees. Clinton's net worth was reduced in 2008 when his wife, Hillary Clinton, wrote off more than $13 million she loaned her campaign for her own presidential bid. Her campaign debt, once over $25 million, was just retired in January.
10. John Fitzgerald Kennedy
> Net worth: $1 billion (never inherited his father's fortune) > In office: 1961 to 1963 > 35th president Born into great wealth, Kennedy's wife was an oil heiress. His father was one of the wealthiest men in America and was the first chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Almost all of JFK's income and property came from a trust shared with other family members.

Even Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien has noticed that the best serum for a slumping winger has been to play alongside center David Krejci.
Marco Sturm hadn't scored a goal for seven games before Nov. 1, when he was moved to Krejci's left side. That night. Sturm lit the lamp twice, and he scored three more over the next six games before leaving the line-up with post-concussion syndrome.
Now Michael Ryder seems to have been cured by a dose of Krejci. In Friday's win over the New York Islanders, Ryder ended a four-game goal drought with two scores.
"Well, we've got to give him a lot of credit," Julien said this morning after his team's pregame skate in preparation for a showdown with Detroit. "First of all, his creativity, his vision on the ice and everything else just seems to be so good, he makes people around him better. He makes some unbelievable plays. The more you see him, the more he builds confidence in himself and has shown that game in and game out. We like the way he's really progressed since being called back up last year."
Look for Ryder to again flank Krejci today against the Wings. And lookfor more on The Krejci Factor in the days ahead.

Checking in on… the Ivy LeaguePosted by Brian Goodman on February 14th, 2011
Howard Hochman is the RTC correspondent for the Ivy League.
Looking Back
It's hard to believe there are only three weekends remaining in the Ivy season. The past fortnight saw some amazing comebacks (Harvard down 22 at the half vs. Brown at home; Penn rallying three consecutive games from double-figure deficits); difficulty on the road (unless the home team was Dartmouth); some outstanding individual performances (Greg Mangano, Keith Wright, Sean McGonagill, Ian Hummer); and the wheat separating itself from the chaff, beginning with….
The Clash of the Titans: On February 4, Harvard strode into Jadwin Gym for the Ivy version of Kansas vs. Texas. Both the Crimson and the Tigers were undefeated in conference and just about every pre-season prediction had one or the other as probable league champs. The likelihood was that this game, as well as the season-ending return match a month later would determine who would be dancing in March. It would be an upset if either team stumbled significantly before that. Before Harvard could entertain any shining moments, they had to stop playing second banana and get the monkey off their back; the monkey in the form of a 21-game road losing streak to Princeton. Certainly the Crimson wanted to avoid any slip-ups this time. Harvard out-shot the Tigers from the field, 44% to 39%, were basically even from the FT line and outrebounded Princeton 32-26. But as all baseball fans know, box scores don't tell the story and in fact the Tigers prevailed 65-61 in round #1 of the Clash. Sixteen Harvard turnovers and frontcourt foul trouble more than likely contributed to the defeat. The Cambridge contingent already have endured their toughest trip while Princeton has yet to play their first league road game. It is up to both teams to navigate the rest of the schedule unscathed before their March 5 rematch.
Working Overtime: A four-game win streak, which included the seniors celebrating their first Big Five victory in four years and a 3-0 start out of the gate in the Ivy League, had the Penn faithful dreaming of another banner-hoisting in the Palestra. And with the opportunity to put a stamp on their credentials with back-to-back games against the Ivy elite–Harvard and Princeton–Quaker students and alums could be forgiven if they were clearing their mid-March schedule for NCAA first round travel plans. Seventy-two excruciating hours in February pretty much unpacked everyone's bags. Harvard entered the Palestra the night after a tough loss to Princeton dropping them into second place. Penn on the other hand had a bunch of well-rested starters-nobody saw more than 28 minutes of action-after a 31 point demolition of Dartmouth. However it was the more talented Crimson squad that took advantage of the shaky Quakers to open up what seemed to be an insurmountable 18 point second half lead. But Zack Rosen's two free throws with 10 seconds left completed the improbable comeback and tied the game at 64. It sent the game into overtime and the 6283 in attendance dancing with glee (minus Brittney and Quinn). Rosen wasn't finished with his heroics, as his jumper at the buzzer of OT #1 sent the game to an additional five minutes. This time however it was not to be. The Crimson rode the tide of Oliver McNally's final basket to an 83-82 victory. A rare mid-week game and a visit to travel partner Princeton was next on tap for Penn. Playing their first road game, the Quakers must have experienced déjà vu all over again as with eight minutes to go they found themselves down 13. However a 21-8 run sent the game into, you guessed it, overtime, and gave the Tiger faithful pause. Penn forged in front only to go scoreless the rest of the way, endure a Chris Webber-esque timeout-less moment, and watched the Tigers convert late from the line en route to a 62-59 defeat. It gets worse, though. A trip to Ithaca to face an unsettled Big Red squad seemed just what the doctor ordered to get Penn healthy. In a game of wild swings, Cornell led by 16, at 29-13, with 7:08 to go in the first half, before the Red and Blue countered with a run of their own to go up 52-43 with 8:41 left in the second and left the Quakers feeling their oats. But destiny being what it is, the game came down to the final seconds-make that the final second. Cornell missed on what they thought would be the last play of regulation only to see Conor Turley get fouled in the rebounding scramble with time still left on the clock. Clank. Into overtime for the third straight game. This time there were no heroics, no last second misses. The extra five minutes belonged to Cornell as they emerged with an 82-71 victory. Three losses snatched from the jaws of victory. Three games where Penn had to dig themselves out of an early hole only to stick their nose in front–two of them on the road. Five points away from being undefeated and alone atop the Ivy standings. This Valentine's Day, if you see a Penn coach or rabid fan, give them a hug. As for the players, they wont need your heart as they have plenty of that to go around.
Player of the Week: As mentioned, there are plenty of deserving candidates. Over the last four games, Greg Mangano of Yale has averaged about 21 points-including 30 in their win over Dartmouth- and eight rebounds a game; Ian Hummer, 15 and eight; Keith Wright has led Harvard in scoring each of the last four ,averaging 19 and nine. But it is our wont to spread the wealth; to recognize as many different players as possible in a league that doesn't get much national ink. So this week we head up to Providence and honor Sean McGonagill of Brown. The 6'1 freshman from Illinois, who has started since Day 1, began his run to glory with an amazing 39 point effort against Columbia; a total which tied the gym scoring record. Over the last four games, he as played 34 minutes a game, shot 53% from the field, 44% from beyond the arc, and 86% (18-21) from the stripe. In fact, his 7-7 performance from the line helped the Bears seal the deal against the Big Green.. Besides his scoring, McGonagill contributed 17 rebounds and 22 assists during Brown's 2-2 stretch. Partnered with sophomore Tucker Halperin, the Bears look to have a solid one-two punch for the next three years. And McGonagill, along with fellow frosh backcourt stars Miles Cartwright of Penn and Laurent Rivard of Harvard, represent, for the Ivy League, a changing of the…guard.
Power Rankings
1. Princeton (7-0, 19-4)–Yes they are undefeated in conference play, (five of them at home) and winners of nine in a row and 17 out of 18- very impressive. A closer look however shows that they have had four close calls, winning games by 4, 4, 3, and 2. Poor shooting has been the problem. The Tigers will need more consistency if they hope to remain perfect before their rematch with…
2. Harvard (7-1, 18-4)–At times, it appears the Crimson feel they need only show up to win. Cases in point–squandering an 18 point lead vs. Penn; sputtering to a three point win vs. Yale; and the topper–finding themselves down 21 points at home at the half vs. Brown. The amazing comeback notwithstanding, coach Tommy Amaker needs to get his squad to focus and cut down on turnovers if they hope to catch Princeton.
3. Yale (5-3, 12-10)–A bit of surprise to find the Elis above .500 but it should be none if they stay. After all they have played their three toughest road games (Penn, Princeton, Harvard) and were competitive- close losses all. And they have probably the most dangerous inside/outside combination in the league in Austin Morgan and Greg Mangano. Look for Yale to have a say in the league outcome as they get those same three teams in New Haven.
4. Penn (3-4, 9-12)–Their travails have been chronicled above and one cannot argue that with a few breaks, the Quakers could be right up there. But looking at the glass half empty there have been road losses like the one at Columbia ( 3-9 overall away from home), the rebounding issues (destroyed by the Lions 34-18) and the bit of a step backward by their star, Zack Rosen. A year away?
5. Columbia (4-4, 13-9)–The future looked bright for the Lions as they began league play 2-0 and winners of eight of nine. Coach Kyle Smith was getting some local pub and in some circles their resurgence was being compared to that of fellow city resident, St.Johns. However, after an excusable loss to Harvard and a win vs. Dartmouth, there followed two damaging losses to Brown and Yale and a 30 point home drubbing vs. Princeton. Leading scorer Norwua Agho was virtually invisible the first two defeats.
6. Cornell (2-6, 6-16)–This is the same Cornell that this column buried earlier; and no, we are not buckling under the pressure from prominent alumni. They were one of the few teams not named Harvard and Princeton to get a road win. And might have had a three game win streak if not for Kareem Maddox's jump shot with 10 seconds to play. Coach Bill Courtney continues to struggle with combinations and players will play 30 minutes one night and ten the next. But the worst of the growing pains may be over
7. Brown (2-6, 9-13)–Up and down but not without promise. They have a roster infused with youth (see McGonagill and Halperin) and coach Jesse Agel looks like he knows what he is doing by looking at the big picture. One wonders how much the meltdown vs. Harvard will affect the Bears going forward.
8. Dartmouth (1-7, 5-17)–Too easy to knock the (not-so) Big Green, so we will focus on the positives. They will not go winless. They were competitive against Harvard and in their last two home games vs. Brown and Yale. And the home attendance figures are creeping towards four figures (982 at the Yale game). So now how does Paul Cormier convince any talent to come play in Hanover?
A Look Ahead
- Princeton may face a stern test Friday at Yale before heading home to Jadwin where they are undefeated. Harvard must navigate around four road games before season ending home contests versus Penn and Princeton which could decide the Ivy title.
- It's "put up or shut up" time for Yale as they get the big boys at home.
- Could we have a new player as we march toward March? Penn must repair their collective psyches and put the brakes on their four-game skid. Reveling in the role of spoiler may be their only motivation left.
- Columbia may be back on track and it would not be out of the question to see them in a battle for third place.
- The game this Friday at home vs. Harvard will go a long way in seeing how far Cornell has come back.
- If the RTC Player of the Week award has not changed Sean McGonagill (wait -how can such a prestigious "trophy" not go to your head?), it will be interesting to see the progress he and his young teammates make at Brown. Dartmouth, unfortunately will have to wait until March 4 before attempting to break that elusive 1000-fan barrier.

BOSTON — It's one of great "what ifs" from last spring.
What if the Bruins had swept Philadelphia and were well-rested in the next round against a Montreal team that needed seven games to beat Pittsburgh?
What if the Bruins had just won one more game and could've squared off with the Canadiens in the Eastern Conference finals?
We'll, of course, we'll never know what would've happened. But the missed opportunity to stage yet another Boston-Montreal series did nothing to tamp down the rivalry even one little bit. That's why the Garden will be rocking again tonight starting well before the drop of the puck at 7 p.m.
The Habs team the Bruins will face tonight is much different than the one they would've faced last May. Instead of going Boston's route and keeping a goaltending tandem that can be deemed 1 and 1A, Montreal decided it was better to spend the money elsewhere and pick between its two netminders — Jaroslav Halak and Carey Price. The Habs opted to stick with Price and ship Halak to St. Louis, which — as we saw last Saturday — is more than happy Montreal made that decision.
But Montreal, so far, is pleased as well. After a rocky start and some back-and-forth banter between Price and the Habs fans, the 23-year-old has settled in. He is 8-5-1 with a .918 save percentage and 2.28 goals-against average. Coming off his second shutout of the season, Price has allowed more than three goals just once all season.
Price, 9-2-2 with a 2.39 GAA career against Boston, will be a tougher puzzle to solve for the David Krejci-less Bruins forward corps than Pittsburgh's Brent Johnson was last night.
Where the Bruins should be able to exploit the Habs is on special teams. Montreal is last in the league in power-play percentage, while Boston's penalty kill is on top. The lack of fear of a penalty here or there could make all the difference in Boston's defensemen trying to slow down Montreal's speedy forwards.
Often all these stats mean little when Boston and Montreal meet. This game won't have the fanfare that Game 1 of the conference finals would've had last spring, but it's still the first installment in the next chapter of one of the game's most heated rivalries. And it should live up to the hype.

Bangkok Dangerous (US - BD RA)
Gabe Powers issues an official letter of resignation on behalf of assassin films
Professional killer 'Joe' (Nicolas Cage) is looking for that one last score before retirement, and finds it in Thailand, where he's contracted for five murders. To keep his anonymity with his employers he picks up a street hustler named Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm) to run his public pickups. It isn't long, though, before Joe starts to like Kong, and the two enter a master/student relationship. On top of this, Joe falls in love with a gentle, deaf mute pharmacist, and all his rules for survival begin falling out the window.
I think it's about time to relegate hired killers to the high shelf of the movie closet, at least temporarily. We've seen them as monsters, we've seen then as saviours, we've seen them as fathers, we've seen them locked in mid-life crises. They've lost their bite and their ability to surprise. At this point we're just going through the motions. Few movies, however, have the balls to go through the motions as apathetically as the Pang Brother's remake of their own unremarkable Bangkok Dangerous.
The Pangs and their re-writer Jason Richman cram every subgenre cliché possible into to nooks and crannies of the film's mind numbing ninety-nine minutes. Witness yet another criminal running down his rules for survival, and witness the same criminal breaking those rules almost immediately, again. Then witness both a training montage and a dating montage, followed by yet another last act Tombstone shoot out. It's all so embarrassingly uninteresting even rows of dancing Thai strippers and Cage's worst ever haircut probably won't pique your interest.
When did Nicolas Cage's movies become so dull that we all focused on his bad haircuts anyway? I'm looking at his IMDb page and I'm finding nothing particularly interesting since Adaptation, and bad haircuts have been a theme since Fast Times at Ridgemont High. What was his interest in remaking Bangkok Dangerous, after all, this wasn't just another gig, and the guy was co-producer. Cage has played plenty of killers, and I'm guessing he's seen all the same contract killer movies the rest of us have seen, so what made this a must do in a slow year?
I'm left with only two solid theories, either Cage really wanted to work with the doubtlessly talented Pang Brothers, or he had a summer home in Bangkok, and didn't feel like dealing with Hollywood amidst a writer's strike. My second theory is unlikely, as the film was apparently shelved for an entire year. The Pangs bring a lot of style to the film (which loses the only interesting angle from the original, the lead being a deaf mute), but they don't bring anything new to the screen they hadn't already perfected ten years ago. This marks the Brother's second English language film, and I'm already thinking they might want to avoid the foibles of Hollywood in favour of more movies like Re-Cycle.
Shooting in Bangkok is an advantage to any production, as the city's mix of third world charm, big city neon, lush jungles, and a lot of bright and warm paint. As residents the Pangs know how to shoot the area, and with a half-decent budget they catch all the right lights and hues. If there's anything nice to say about the movie, it's that it definitely looks good. The 1080p disc doesn't skimp anywhere too obvious, revelling in deep blacks, intense whites, and vibrant colours. Daylight scenes are stylized, featuring deeper and sharper blacks than exist in real life, and some textured fine grain. Other sequences are almost entirely monochromatic, which leads to a lot of compression noise on the standard definition release. On Blu-ray the blue tinted night sequences (those taking place off the neon lit streets), and the bright red climatic shootout are sharp and relatively noiseless.
The Pang's hyper-reactive editing leads to many unmotivated and abstract sound effects, which in turn leads to a lot of over-the-top surround and stereo effects. Motorcycles and motorboats chase each other through all five channels, bullets zip from behind screen in slow motion, and the sounds of busy Bangkok streets film even the most banal dialogue sequence with texture. The volume of every central sound element is amped to larger than life volumes, ensuring that a crack of gunfire and the thud of a well placed punch will both impact on similar levels. Brian Tyler's score is even more schmaltzy than usual, but pumps quite a bit of adrenaline into the mix during action cues. The DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is probably at its most intense during the club scenes, when thumping Thai pop music seems intent on destroying your subwoofer.
'From Hong Kong to Bangkok' is a fifteen minute exploration of the Pang Brother's and Nic Cage's love of classic Hong Kong cinema. The featurette includes several brief scenes from some of the country's best pictures, along with a breakneck history of Wu Shu in the movies. Every time our historian tries to bring Bangkok Dangerous into the story the doc loses a tinge of credibility, but for those that still haven't learned the basics of Hong Kong cinema will find the information valuable, and probably clamour for more.
'The Execution of the Film' (13:30) is you basic making-of featurette, which does its best to give the audience good reason to accept Nic Cage going out of his way to make the film. Apparently I was partially correct in my assumptions, in that Cage and his producer buddies just really wanted to make an Asian movie in Asia. The mini-doc never quite leaves the realms of an electronic press kit, but is more informative and even handed than the usual elongated trailer. There's talk of the Pang's detailed storyboard approach, but it's just talk, no examples unfortunately.
The extras come to a close with an alternate ending and the original theatrical trailer. An in depth description of the alternate ending would spoil the chosen ending for those still looking forward to seeing the film, so I'll just say the difference is much larger than expected. The scene is presented in hi-def video with a DTS-HD soundtrack. The second disc is a digital copy of a film.
The only excuse to watch this version of Bangkok Dangerous is to take in the pretty visuals. The script is terribly unoriginal, and doesn't even work as a modern retelling of classic Asian themes simply because such a thing was done to death by the early '90s. The acting and direction are decent, but mostly it's just the photography that drives any positive response. The Blu-ray disc displays this above standard photography flawlessly enough, but the extras are unimpressive. I recommend avoiding the film and renting the original instead, or better yet, re-watch John Woo's The Killer or Luc Besson's Le Femme Nikita, or any other number of movies about assassins ( The Matador, Kill Bill, Munich, Pulp Fiction, Confession of a Dangerous Mind, Ghost Dog, Collateral, Leon: The Professional, Taxi Driver, or any of the Bourne movies, for example).

The word boring comes to mind when I see this film, this was almost unbearable to sit through.
Nick Cage is hit or miss with me. I can watch Bringing Out The Dead a 100 times over, but you couldn't pay me to sit through this mess again.

Good review Gabe. It confirms what I had assumed about this film and even more. I have never seen the original Bangkok Dangerous but based on what you wrote, I guess neither that nor this are very good. Stylish visuals aren't enough for me to bother even renting a movie with as bad a script as you say this has. Just a quick question: That list of movies, most of which I have seen, are what you consider the pinnacle of assassin movies, yes? Or are they just better than this movie but not necessarily the best? I guess it wouldn't take much to be better than this movie though.

Poor Gabe, my condolensces for having to sit through such a trifle. The trailer for Bangkok Dangerous looked more horrible then the worst Nicholas Cage film. I certainly wouldn't even watch it for it's cinematography and I love cinematography.

My favorite scene was when Cage goes to the local pharmacy to get medicine for a cut on his arm but he can't read the labels due to the whole being in Bangkok, a pretty employee spots his trouble and runs over to help, but she's a DEAF MUTE! What in the hell kind of help was she planning on giving him? Is she that good at charades?

Any film where your gun hand gets severed by a propeller, can't be all bad.

That's actually a good point pitdeadite, hence the 4/10 instead of a 1/10.

I luaghed and smiled when I read your review. The comments did that too. I just wonder if Nic Cage will ever do a movie about his hair.

Tesseract suggested the Pangs could cut it in English language, this suggests otherwise.
