Attorney General Eric Holder, a longtime target of Republicans who have tried to force him out of office, now faces the prospect of angering liberal supporters when the Justice Department decides whether to file federal charges in the Trayvon Martin killing.
Civil rights groups are planning nationwide vigils, and more than a million people support an online petition drive calling for admitted shooter George Zimmerman to face federal charges in the February 2012 killing.
Holder confronted that political pressure Tuesday in a speech to the NAACP, which is conducting the petition drive.
He repeated his pledge for a full investigation of Martin's death in the aftermath of Zimmerman's acquittal on murder and manslaughter charges by a Florida court, saying the Justice Department "will continue to act in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law. We will not be afraid."
But he was careful to avoid any promise or hint of federal charges. Instead, Holder took aim at "stand your ground" laws like the one in Florida that have expanded the right to respond with deadly force if attacked outside the home.
Those laws "try to fix something that was never broken" and "senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods," he said.
"By allowing -- and perhaps encouraging -- violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety," Holder said in his first public comment on legislation that more than 30 states have passed in some form.
"We must stand our ground to ensure that our laws reduce violence and take a hard look at laws that contribute to more violence than they prevent," he added.
Zimmerman's lawyers didn't invoke Florida's "stand your ground" law in court, but it was included in the instructions to the jury that acquitted him. Florida Gov. Rick Scott's office reaffirmed his support for the law Tuesday afternoon, saying a task force set up by his office reviewed the statute after Martin's death.
"The task force recommended that the law should not be overturned, and Governor Scott agrees," Scott spokeswoman Melissa Sellers said in a written statement.
Chris W. Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action, similarly disagreed with Holder.
"The attorney general fails to understand that self-defense is not a concept, it's a fundamental human right," he said in a statement. "To send a message that legitimate self-defense is to blame is unconscionable, and demonstrates once again that this administration will exploit tragedies to push their political agenda."
Holder's focus Tuesday on a broader legal issue avoided the difficult decision he faces over whether to bring federal criminal charges.
Legal experts say federal charges against Zimmerman are unlikely.
Because Zimmerman is a private citizen, he can only be charged with a hate crime in terms of civil rights violations under federal law, said David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor in Florida who now is in private practice.
To successfully prosecute Zimmerman, the Justice Department would have to show that Zimmerman "caused the death of Trayvon Martin solely motivated by/because of his race or color," Weinstein told CNN in an e-mail. "This element was absent from the state trial and quite frankly doesn't exist."
CNN Legal analyst Paul Callan agreed Monday that federal prosecutors are "in sort of a tough spot."
The hate crimes statute is generally applied to cases involving police officers or other government agents, Callan said, adding that using it in a case involving a lone private citizen is "very, very rare and I think in this case, it's going to be very hard to prove."
Sources told CNN Monday that Justice Department officials were reviewing trial evidence to determine if such a case was winnable. The sources made clear that Holder's department would only file charges if officials believe they can secure a conviction.
If Holder decides not to bring a federal case against Zimmerman, he will disappoint liberal supporters who contend the Martin killing was a civil rights violation.
The nation's first African-American attorney general has been popular with the political left for his support of gay marriage and challenges to GOP efforts to change voting laws. At the same time, his policies have made him a political lightning rod for conservatives.
Holder was censured last year by the Republican-led House over complaints that he failed to fully cooperate with a congressional investigation of the botched "Fast and Furious" gun-walking operation. He called the episode a politically motivated effort to discredit him.
Last year, Holder himself raised questions about possible federal charges against Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, who killed Martin during an altercation as the unarmed teenager was walking in the community.
"For a federal hate crime, we have to prove the highest standard in the law," Holder said in April 2012, 45 days after Zimmerman shot Martin in what was depicted by civil rights groups as a racially motivated killing.
In words that now sound prescient, Holder described to reporters that day how "something that was reckless, that was negligent does not meet that standard."

Social Security Statements Now Online
So at some point we could be getting $4600/month in today's dollars which sounds great; this is way more than we need to spend to get by every month, way more. Of course this will change depending on how much our health insurance goes up in the future, but I don't think it will go from the current $330 up to $2000 in today's dollars (insert nervous grin).
Obviously benefits vary and only a smallish slice of the population gets the maximum benefit but in thinking about $4600, the question arises; how in the hell can the government afford to pay every eligible household between $1500 and $4600 per month for the rest of their lives? As a note, I don't know what the minimum benefit is, I just made that number up. Forgetting any research you've done on this for just a moment, thinking of it in this way makes it seem like an even larger problem, speaking unscientifically.
Another interesting number on the website (even if not new information) is how much has been paid in on my behalf which is $150,000. If I am lucky enough to stay at the same income level until I am 70 and the max tax stays about where it is then I will pay in another $312,000 (24 years times $13,000) which would bring the total paid in to Social Security up to $462,000. If I make it another 100 months past past age 70 (God willing) then I become a money loser for the program. Yes I realize this ignores any sort compounding that might happen somewhere along the way but it also ignores any COLA adjustments too.
If I make it to 90 (my dad will be 86 in July and is remarkably healthy and fit) then that is another 140 months at $4600 which adds up to $644,000. So we might collect more than twice what we put in which seems like a flawed strategy and of course not the duration of payout they had in mind when the program was started. Chances are you have heard the stat that notes when Social Security started the payer to payee ratio was at 25-1, has gone to three to one and is on its way to two to one.
This line of thinking leads me to the simplest conclusion about the future of the program which to repeat from many past posts is that it will be subject to very aggressive means testing that will come further down the wealth scale than most people think (yes there are logistical obstacles to this) and it will become a welfare program (if you think it already is a welfare program then it will become more so).
If I am wrong, then 100 years from now my wife will be sitting around like Granny with money to burn. As a note I have wanted to get a picture from this cartoon and use it on the blog for ages and finally did. I had to grab a still shot from You Tube.

I'm envious. Well, a little envious.
My wife and I have contributed six figures into social security but will not receive a dime in monthly benefits because we have a defined benefit public pension.
Not only that, we cannot get a refund or tax credit for the loot we paid into the system, according to the IRS.
Hope all you SS recipients enjoy spending our contribution to the cause!
- Roger Nusbaum said...
T, you've mentioned this before and it doesn't make a lick of sense to me. I understand it, but i don't get it.
- Terry Pratt said...
Social Security should be privatized. It is funded by those who pay in for decades and die before getting their "contributions" back.
- Roger Nusbaum said...
while I would personally be thrilled to have it privatized, I think 401k results for most participants provide evidence that this would be disastrous for society as a whole.
- Anonymous said...
You paint an interesting picture of what could possibly happen. Consider a darker momemt for a moment. Your wife comes down with a fatal desease. At age 59, you have a fatal heart attack. That would partly explain why someone else very similar to you could get the kind of projections that are in place. The thing is an insurance program. nothing more. Hopefully nothing bad happens to either of you. Seriously.
- Anonymous said...
7:02 here again. I left out the most important piece. The actuarial tables need to be adjusted to present day levels. They haven't been tweaked in quite some time. Once that is done, the insurance program will once again be viable. It is really that simple.
- Anonymous said...
Are you saying that your wife has no SS contributions on her own, but will still be able to collect SS on your behalf, while you are collecting on your own behalf, and while you are married? I believe in order for her to collect one of those conditions must be false - either you divorce or you file and suspend.
$330 per month for health insurance? You're kidding, right? We can't even do high-deductible castrophic for that. Does that include any hospitalization? For a reasonable family policy (New Jersey), try $1000 to $2000+ per month. $330/month might buy low-end group coverage for a single person, assuming the group is 1000 employees.

Sure we need to privatise it. Let the Morgan Stanleys, Lehmans and MF globals etc. invest it in "SAFE OPTIONS". With all the extreme regulations imposed on them the money will be safe. Obviously our lobbying will ensure that fairness will be built into this system (going against the BIG BOYS lobbying). Lets do it and laugh all the way to the bank.
- Roger Nusbaum said...
8:09, the lower earning spouse can either collect their benefit or half of the higher earning spouse's benefit; this is not new, my mother in law just started collecting and this has been my mother's payout for about 15 years.
We have a high deductible plan with an HSA and it costs $330.95 per month at age 46 and 40. - 8:16 AM
- RW said...
Government, including SS, is clearly trying to enter the 21st Century. Hope they make it.
I must say though Roger, that your unwillingness to comprehend the structure of a pay-go system generally and Social Security specifically has become pretty clear.* You do well to plan under the assumption SS will gone or severely reduced however since this is good for discipline; that said, you should also plan to be pleasantly surprised.
That aside, means testing is an extremely unlikely outcome under any circumstances and not simply because of logistics; i.e., it is expensive, intrusive, and inefficient. It is also toxic politically and this now goes double because the financial sector debacle revealed the recklessness, incompetence and/or greed of industry leadership for all to see; ditto private implementation of SS.
NB: T's comments make no sense because he is probably leaving something out; e.g., his pension is paid via state tax dollars and/or, if he indeed also paid into SS it was only on part of his salary, and/or his total income exceeds SS limits. The SS site says this:
"If your pension is from work where you paid Social Security taxes, it will not affect the amount of your Social Security benefit. However, if any part of your pension is from work where you did not pay Social Security taxes, it could affect the amount of your Social Security benefit.
A pension based on work that is not covered by Social Security (for example, Federal civil service and some State or local government agencies, such as police officers and some teachers) may cause the amount of your Social Security benefit to be reduced."
* Those weary of uninformed opinions or who really want to understand how SS actually operates may find the relatively un-wonky How Things Work article at http://tinyurl.com/6t9trr7 a useful place to start. Those who have a wonk itch to scratch and/or want to get into serious detail will find http://www.ssa.gov/history/ more fruitful. Either way be prepared to discover that most of what you have heard or read about SS was inaccurate at best (I am being charitable now). - 9:15 AM

Ha RW, I know I am not on the same page as you with most of this.
plan to be pleasantly surprised? I will work on that. A set of gold teeth maybe XD - 9:19 AM

I will ask the treasurer right away. Apologies for the lack of diligence here. - 9:34 AM
- reiredinprescott said...
I think you underestimate how rapidly your insurance premiums will rise as you get older.
My wife and I both had the highest BCBS deductible policies here in Prescott AZ to cover catastrophies. Last year our premiums hit $1000 per month. Since our policy is similar to yours, the difference is almost entirely because we are both older than you.
My wife is in her 50s; me--60s. - 9:57 AM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
I very well could be underestimating insurance costs. Are you saying you pay $1000 each or combined?
- Roger Nusbaum said...
Don, it was very light,about $300 based on the $0.50 addon to denote a blog reader.
Thank you for your donation and also to the others who also donated. - 10:20 AM

Yes private health insurance on a per capita basis, for relatively healthy younger population is far more expensive than medicare, which cares for the sickest portion of population. For private insurance, administrative overhead, ie non medical costs are 30% of your premium when medicare runs under 6%. Yes 30% for accounting costs -a goldmine if there ever was one. Drop this to 6% and voila our costs do not look that obscene compared to other western countries. "But of course private companies are the most cost effective"- makes me sick just hearing this nonsense.

Our political system does not allow for long-range planning (not that any other system is better). The SS system can be corrected but probably won't. When people have a free-will, they will not make difficult choices.
As far as SS, my brother-in-law retired, collects SS, and is what I would call "rich". He has extra income coming in from commisions but these are allocated to my sister who is younger. This is wide-spread in his industry....bilking the system. - 10:32 AM
- reiredinprescott said...
It was $1000 monthly premium for both of us with a family $10,000 deductible. Copays for most doctor visits ran $40. It was basically catastrophic coverage. - 11:07 AM
- RW said...
Think a nice set of gold teeth would suit (might look into that myself, maybe inset a diamond in a couple of them). XD, an olde farte doing the bling thing.
But seriously, seeing eye-to-eye is not my goal and is not even an issue here because the SS system you describe in your posts (and as generally described just about everywhere frankly) simply does not exist. Really, it doesn't.
Bernard Baruch once wrote (1950), "Every man has a right to his own opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts."
Your opinion is your own and might or might not be influenced by a better understanding of the facts but since you write publicly on the subject your process would better inform your audience if hearsay was not mixed into the discussion. Start with why an SS account is really nothing like a 401k or IRA account and go from there.*
*NB: While at it, do assiduously avoid the more grotesque fantasies such as Dubya's, "the special bonds in the SS account are really just IOU's" (as if all bonds weren't IOU's with the special treasuries in the SS account not only backed by the full faith and credit of the USA like all other treasuries but, just like the dollar, fully redeemable at par regardless of maturity). - 11:45 AM
- Anonymous said...
Roger -- To the point of not being able to collect SS benefits.
In 1986, Congress passed legislation that was designed to prohibit public employees from "double dipping" pensions.
Unfortunately, the law was broadly interpreted and applies to folks such as my wife and I. Our state defined benefit is over the maximum allowed to receive a SS check. Thus, nada.
We have paid into and will receive Fed health benefits at age 65, as a separate item.
But the mass of loot my wife and I had deducted from our private businesses for SS (ongoing, I might add) is lost money. This is the opinion of the IRS and a decent tax attorney who looked into this for us (and others).

Instead of another means tested program, with all the bureaucracy and paperwork, why not simply figure out what is the amount necessary to meet essential needs and then either (1) pay that to everyone or (2)pay the amounts you are expecting but create a base amount so that no one gets less than is essential for survival. (If you feel it important that the rich get higher payments, then you could also raise the FICA limit.

text: If you're still suffering a bit of a Carnival hangover, now that Mardi Gras has passed, how about a little "hair of the dog"? Now that the humans have concluded their Carnival, it's time for the canines to cavort. The Mystic Krewe of Mardi Paws presents their walking parade this Sunday at 2 o'clock on the lakefront in Mandeville. The theme of this year's parade is "Mardi Paws gets Doggone Wet". "Lots of dogs and their companions in costumes, dressed as mermaids and lifeguards...that sort of a thing," says Krewe Captain and Co-founder, Denise Gutnisky. A limited number of special beads will be unleashed. "The royal 'hairs' throw the signature golden dog droppings, and the regular krewe members have the regular brown stuff," says Gutnisky. "It takes a while to produce those golden ones," she says. "The other throws are just regular brown dog droppings. They feel good to the touch, but the color isn't the best." "The gold, glittery ones are just beautiful. That's something to put on your mantle." "We also have a huge selection of cats that we throw," Gutnisky says. "Being a dog parade, we like to throw stuffed animals and they're generally cats." The pooch parade, which annually comes at the tail end of the Carnival season, will paw its way along the Mandeville Lakefront promptly at 2:00 p.m. and wag its way west to the Gazebo on Lakeshore Drive and Lafitte Street. The celebrity Grand Marshal of the 19th annual parade is Tia Maria Torres, of the Animal Planets' reality show "Pit Bulls and Parolees.' The Reviewing Stand is near the Gazebo at the end of Lafitte Street. This is where the coronation will be officiated, and the ceremonial toast with Red Dog Beer occurs. A Post-Parade Extravaganza will take place on the Lakefront at the parade's end featuring food, fun, music and booths. You can register your dog, right up until parade time at the Mandeville Harbor and compete for a number of great prizes, including the coveted 'poop' trophy by local artist Ted Pullig of Zorro's FUNzone in Mandeville. The registration fee is $15 per dog, with a group discount of $45 for 3 or more dogs - but they must be from the same household. The event supports three of the Northshore's leading non-profits aimed toward helping children and animals alike - Scott's Wish, Have a Heart thruArt, and The St. Tammany Spay & Neuter Program. You can also register at MardiPaws.com

While not all wikis are the same, the DreamWorks movie alerts business executives to the impact and reach of the powerful technology.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On Oct 18, Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks Studios will premier its movie, The Fifth Estate, based on the real events surrounding the controversial website, Wikileaks. The website, which gave whistleblowers the opportunity to anonymously leak confidential government and corporate information, was built using wiki technology--but not all wikis are the same.
A wiki is a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in collaboration with others. Wiki technology is used as a platform to enable crowdsourcing, the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people. Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written collaboratively by the people who use it, is often mistakenly associated with Wikileaks, but the two are not affiliated.
"There is no connection between these organizations," states Alex Konanykhin, CEO of WikiExperts, a Wikipedia visibility and monitoring service. "Both use wiki technology, but neither owns it. While WikiLeaks once used the technology to allow whistleblowers to expose government and corporate secrets, Wikipedia is a much more benign site where the world can contribute to and reference a common encyclopedia, and notable corporations and individuals can establish a global presence."
With nearly 400 million unique visitors each month and 3,000 consultations per second, Wikipedia is the primary global source for consumer and business information. A study recently released by WikiExperts, revealed that 97% of Fortune 500 companies have Wikipedia profiles, and that these profiles typically show up within the first 10 Google search results for the brand. With 93% of online searches beginning with a search engine, and Google owning an estimated 70% of the search engine market share, the visibility and referencing of these profiles will only continue to increase.
When asked for his opinion regarding WikiLeaks, Konanykhin responded, "According to the Nuremberg principles, people have not just the right, but the duty to expose illegal government activities, so I find whistleblowing of unlawful activity justified. At the same time, I believe that disclosures must be limited to unlawful activities only, and that legitimate secrets, whether governmental, corporate or private, should be respected."
Konanykhin emphasizes that the work WikiExperts performs is limited to visibility on Wikipedia, where it assists notable companies, organizations, and individuals in optimizing their Wikipedia profiles, in all major languages. "We've done this work for many leading corporations, top celebrities, politicians and non-profits, and WikiExperts is an important unit of our OnlinevisibilityExperts.com agency. Wikipedia profiles have a significant impact on the reputations and public opinion of businesses, and in many cases, because of their neutral nature, wield greater consumer influence than that of corporate websites."

Does Kinect for Windows warrant a new hacker bounty?
When Microsoft's mega-hit Kinect motion controller for the Xbox was released in 2010, its closed nature inspired a hefty bounty to hack it and come up with open-source drivers.
But now that Microsoft has released an official version of Kinect for Windows, the team that offered that payout is wondering whether they might have to do it again.
Microsoft eventually realized that there was an insatiable thirst for developing open-source Kinect projects and released a software development kit of its own. But now the folks at open-source hardware purveyors Adafruit are wondering if the new Kinect for Windows platform … Read more

Texas best place to be hope for the next ten years we know the Astros.
Or the worst team in baseball these days of one of the worst but there well positioned as a business for two reasons we've been talking a lot about.
The first once management.
-- general manager -- -- -- holds a degree in engineering also as an MBA has an impressive baseball track record as well used to work for Saint Louis if given the time.
Think he's able to turn the Astros into a sustainable version of the Tampa Bay race think about that because he has with Tampa could only dream up.

LSU Signs Another Strong Class
Jim Ecker
Thursday, December 10, 2009
The LSU Tigers won the College World Series on June 24 with an 11-4 victory over Texas. Exactly one week later, on the first day college coaches could contact high school juniors under NCAA rules, LSU associate head coach David Grewe called a young man who hadn't committed to anyone to gauge his interest in possibly joining the Tigers.
Grewe was flabbergasted by the young man's negative response.
"The kid told me he had no interest in LSU baseball," Grewe told Perfect Game USA. "I was amazed. I was absolutely amazed."
It was nothing personal against the school, the coaches or the program. Apparently, the young man was intimidated by the possibility of joining a national championship team and worried about playing time.
So if you think LSU can just pick and choose anyone it wants, guess again.
"Winning the national championship, it didn't have a huge positive impact in recruiting," said Grewe, who oversees the recruiting efforts for LSU head coach Paul Mainieri. "It actually made it a little more difficult in trying to convince kids there would be an opportunity here. It made it a little more challenging, because they saw the talent we had on the field."
Don't cry for the Tigers, of course. They signed a strong 15-man class this fall that includes three Aflac All-Americans and five players who are ranked in the top-51 in the Class of 2010 by Perfect Game. The Tigers are scheduled to get another talented player in the Class of 2010 when Zach Lee, also an LSU football recruit, joins the program. Lee plans to sign a national letter-of-intent in football this February and play both sports at LSU.
Grewe thinks the Tigers have signed a very talented class.
"I'm thrilled," he said. "I believe we have a great group of kids that are huge LSU fans, passionate about being here and passionate about playing baseball at LSU."
The three Aflac All-Americans in LSU's new class are Kevin Gausman, a 6-foot-4 pitcher from Centennial, Colo.; Cameron Bedrosian, a 6-foot pitcher from Senoia, Ga.; and Jacoby Jones, a 6-foot-3 infielder from Richton, Miss. Gausman and Bedrosian are blessed with 95 mph fastballs and Jones is considered one of the top high school shortstops in the country. Bedrosian's father, Steve, won the National League Cy Young Award with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1987.
All 14 of LSU's high school recruits (including Lee) are ranked in the top-350 in the United States by Perfect Game USA. The Tigers also signed a pair of junior college transfers in Lucas LeBlanc, an outfielder from Delgado Community College, and Mitchell Hopkins, a pitcher from LSU-Eunice.
LSU also signed Garin Cecchini, a shortstop from Lake Charles, La., who is ranked 32nd in the country, and Austin Southall, an outfielder from Baton Rouge, La., who is ranked 51st. They'll be joined by Lee, a first baseman/pitcher from McKinney, Texas; Ryan Eades, a pitcher from Slidell, La.; Marcus Davis, an outfielder from Cincinnati; Joe Broussard, a pitcher from Gretna, La.; Nicholas Rumbelow, a pitcher from Bullard, Texas; Kevin Koziol, a shortstop from Orland Park, Ill.; Tyler Ross, a catcher from Naples, Fla.; Kurt McCune, a pitcher from Destrehan, La.; and Joshua Burris, an outfielder/pitcher from Baton Rouge.
"These are the type of kids and families that I want to recruit every year," said Grewe, who previously was the head coach at Michigan State. "These are the types of kids that we think can help us win a national title every year."
The Tigers undoubtedly could put a quality team on the field in 2011 with just these new recruits, but now the coaches will have to wait and see who gets drafted this June and who signs a pro contract.
"Now the real recruiting period begins," said Grewe. "A lot will happen in the next eight months."

Hello everyone, I seem to be having trouble logging into jjdramaclub.yuku.com (Yuku Jeff and Jer Drama Club) and decided to come home for a second and see if anyone else thought of coming here instead. But, it seems that I'm all lonely here.
They're still online?!?

Haven't been over here in a long time. So quiet. Peaceful almost. J & J and crew are so boring, no one even cares to make fun of them anymore.
And yes Brainsmile...what you created oh so long ago still exists on Yuku. However comma it is getting quieter every day.
Good memories here....

Tony-nominated actor Todd Graff makes his directorial debut with the musical comedy Camp, featuring an ensemble cast of newcomers. Guitarist Vlad (Daniel Letterle) attends Camp Ovation, the summer theater camp for budding actors, dancers, and musicians. Finding himself to be one of the only hetero boys around, he soon befriends nice girl Ellen (Joanna Chilcoat). Meanwhile, openly gay Michael (Robin de Jesus) develops a crush on him. This sparks dramatic confrontations among fellow campers Jenna (Tiffany Taylor), Jill (Alana Allen), and Fritzi (Anna Kendrick). The whole camp is run by Bert Hanley (Don Dixon), a washed-up Broadway songwriter who decides to enlist the help of his young campers to put together a new production.

Jeffrey Blitz's seriocomedy Rocket Science proves that many a handicap can be overcome, no matter how daunting the obstacle at hand may initially seem. Newcomer Reece Thompson plays Hal Hefner, a 15-year-old high-school student with a minor yet socially alienating (and painful) disability: he stutters uncontrollably. Determined to work through the problem, Hal opts for an extreme route -- he joins the school debating team, which sends him on a headfirst plunge into breakneck speech competitions -- and offers a much-needed boost toward correcting the problem. Blitz, like his onscreen alter ego, struggled with a stammer as a young man -- a disability he eventually surmounted -- which imparted him with a lifelong interest in speech and storytelling. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

When Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) reluctantly moved to the perpetually overcast town of Forks, WA, and set out to carve a niche for herself, she assumed it would be one similar to the low-profile social position she held back in Phoenix. First on the list of surprises was the unfamiliar attention from the male population of her new high school; second, the attention from one male in particular: Edward Cullen, Vampire (Robert Pattinson). Before long, the unlikely soul mates find themselves in a passionate relationship with a variety of significant setbacks, including Edward's special-needs diet (he doesn't eat humans, but Bella's scent inspires a nearly impossible to harness bloodlust) and the human girl's mortality. Though things proceed relatively smoothly at first (Edward even introduces Bella to his adoptive vampire family), a visiting vampire clan consisting of James (Cam Gigandet), Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), and Laurent (Edi Gathegi) catches Bella's unique scent and threatens the young couple's budding, if dangerous, happiness. James, known for his powerful tracking ability, becomes obsessed with making Bella his next victim. Fearing for Bella's safety and that of her loved ones, the Cullens must combine their collective talents in order to stop the highly predatory James before his goal is accomplished. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Jason Reitman's adaptation of the novel Up in the Air tells the story of Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), who makes his living personally handing out pink slips -- he's the top hatchet man at a company that other companies hire when they are downsizing. And since business is booming, his job keeps him on the go constantly. He flies all across the country, staying in a series of nice hotels. And although this itinerant lifestyle prevents him from having any kind of stable, regular life, this doesn't bother him in the slightest -- he's thrilled to be a boy in a traveling bubble. During one particular layover, he strikes up a conversation with Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), a fellow savvy traveler. They bond over the ins and outs of various airlines and hotels, and quickly fall into bed. By morning, they are figuring out when their schedules will allow them to meet up again, even though they both make it clear that there are no strings attached. When Ryan arrives back in the home office, he meets no-nonsense career-oriented twentysomething Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick), a fast-rising up-and-comer who wants to change the company's practices and save millions by having the staff fire people remotely via webcams. Furious at the thought of losing a lifestyle he's grown quite comfortable with, he convinces his boss (Jason Bateman) to let him take Natalie on a few trips so that she can learn what it's really like to fire someone. Melanie Lynskey, Danny McBride, and J.K. Simmons co-star in this Best Picture Academy Award nominee. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

A teenage girl sets out in search of her missing best friend, a mischief-making flirt who had been recklessly meeting men online, in this thriller featuring Twilight star Anna Kendrick. Sarah (Kendrick) is a straight-A student and popular athlete, and Jillian (Tania Raymonde) is the girl with the reputation that every parent fears most. Yet despite their differences, Sarah and Jillian have been best friends for as far back as either can recall. Both girls long to escape their small town for something more exciting, though it's Jillian who acts first. Shortly after revealing to Sarah that she is searching for a man online to take her someplace new and exciting, Jillian vanishes without a trace. The only clues that Sarah has to her old friend's whereabouts are a journal, and a cryptic video message sent by Jillian just before she disappeared.

Twenty-two-year-old Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) may not have a job, but rocking the bass for his band, Sex Bob-omb, is a tough job unto itself. When Scott locks eyes with Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), he knows she's the girl he wants to grow old with. But Ramona has some serious baggage; her supercharged exes rue the thought of her being with another man, and they'll crush any guy who gives her a second glance. Now, in order to win Ramona's heart, Scott will do battle with everyone from vegan-powered rock gods to sinister skateboarders, never losing sight of his gorgeous goal as he pummels his way to victory. Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright directs the film from a script he penned with Michael Bacall.

Five expectant couples learn that having a baby is anything but predictable in this uplifting romantic comedy based on Heidi Murkoff's ubiquitous best-seller. A household name thanks to her popular fitness show, Jules (Cameron Diaz) can't contain her excitement after learning she is about to have a baby with Evan (Matthew J. Morrison), the sure-footed star of a popular dance show. But the closer Jules gets to her due date, the more she and Evan realize the demands of parenthood and the responsibilities of a celebrity couldn't be more different. Meanwhile, outspoken infant-advice author Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) contends with surging hormones as her belly begins to swell, and her devoted husband Gary is shell-shocked to discover that his overbearing trophy wife will soon be having twins. Of course not everyone is cut out to be a father, and as professional photographer Holly (Jennifer Lopez) prepares to scour the globe for a child to adopt, her reluctant husband Alex gets his first glimpse of fatherhood in a brutally honest support group for new dads. And while some parents spend years preparing for the right moment to have a child, feuding food-truck owners Rosie (Anna Kendrick) and Marco (Chace Crawford) get the surprise of their lives when an impulsive act of passion has permanent repercussions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Writer/director Chris Butler puts his experience working on Coraline and Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride to good use in this charmingly morbid tale of an eccentric young hero facing supernatural forces that would make most grown-ups cower in fear. Eleven-year-old Norman Babcock (voice of Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a young misfit with a remarkable gift: He sees dead people. Although Norman's clairvoyance allows him the unique opportunity to enjoy the company of his beloved grandmother (Elaine Stritch) long after she has ceased to be, it also drives his frustrated father Perry (Jeff Garlin) and popularity-obsessed sister Courtney (Anna Kendrick) up the wall at home and makes him the target of dim-witted bully Alvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) at school. His only friend is portly Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), who isn't exactly a beacon of coolness. When Norman's deceased uncle Prenderghast (John Goodman), a local pariah, warns the young boy that he must save their small town of Blithe Hollow from a witch's curse that has plagued the area for centuries, the young creature-feature addict isn't entirely sure how to respond -- that is, until the sky turns red, the clouds start to swirl, and the dead rise up from their graves. Now, as a terrified mob takes to the streets with torches in hand, it's up to Norman, Courtney, Alvin, Neil, and Neil's older brother Mitch (Casey Affleck) to put things right, even if it means confronting the 300-year-old curse that has haunted Blithe Hollow ever since the notorious witch hunts of the 18th century. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Weekend Supervising News Editors Samira Jafari and Sarah Aarthun -- 404-827-1401
The recovery of a 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the neck and now breathes on a ventilator hinges on what happens this weekend.
This Florida panhandle town is the home of a mystery that has been lost to time. A small cemetery buried deep into the grounds of a now-defunct boys reform school dates back to the early 1900s. Rusting white steel crosses mark the graves of 31 unidentified former students. Former students said the deaths were at the hands of abusive administrators, but a 2009 state investigation determined there was no evidence of criminal activity connected with any of the deaths or of abusive treatment. But the investigation did not clear up the mystery over the fate of 50 other students who died at the school and whose bodies have not been accounted for. In the wake of that investigation, more former students -- who are now senior citizens -- have come forward with stories of abuse at the school, including alleged beatings, killings and the disappearance of students, during the 1940s, '50s and '60s.
Lalita and Dev fell in love, but they knew being together would never be easy. Lalita and Dev are from different castes, he from a lower one than she. Lalita knew that her parents would be furious and that they were working on finding someone for her to marry. But she told them anyway, still holding onto hope that they might understand. They didn't. Then, one afternoon, they caught a popular television talk show featuring an unlikely band of former lawyers and activists who've made it their mission to help doomed lovers. India's Love Commandos, formed in 2010, give couples food, shelter and protection if they run away from their disapproving families. The group has more than 11,000 volunteers across the country who provide legal assistance, man 24-hour help lines and, in some cases, even marry desperate couples.
Monitoring the crisis in Syria.
This week, Emory University made amends for anti-Jewish bias that plagued its dental school more than 50 years ago. Between the years of 1948 and 1961, Jewish dental students described experiencing a "reign of terror" under the dean in charge. Former students, men now in their 80s, who'd flunked out, been forced to repeat coursework or endured bullying if they stayed, came back to campus for the apology they never expected to hear. But what did this mean to them?
For Joe Stoltz, life has come down to counting every dollar. That's what happens when you can't find work and you live in the state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation. No presidential race has ever been as personal. Everything is at stake: his marriage, his family, his future
Smartphones have ushered in a golden age for photography, but disappointingly, the conversation in the blogosphere is focused on the device and the use of faux nostalgic filters. Instead, we should focus on how photographers can choose from an unprecedented range of possibilities to be creative and share their work with the world at the touch of glass, journalist Richard Koci Hernandez says.
Latest from the presidential campaign trail.
The young man locked eyes with Jerry Sandusky in a packed courtroom Tuesday and stared him down. He'd waited a long time for this moment. "You were the person in my life who was supposed to be a role model," he seethed angrily at the man convicted of sexually violating him and nine other boys. "I can't begin to express how this has screwed up my life. Because of you, I trust no one and I will not allow my own child out of my sight for fear of what might happen to him." He is known as Victim No. 4. He is 29 years old now. When he was 11 or 12, he was the coach's favorite. Sandusky told the boy many times that he loved him.
Pennsylvania-Sandusky-Letters (with art)
When all was said and done, Jerry and Dottie Sandusky did not ask the judge for mercy. They did not try to extol Jerry's virtues, list good deeds or express regret. Instead, they depicted the boys he sexually assaulted as ungrateful and called them liars. They blamed the young men -- including their own adopted son, Matt, who now claims he, too, was molested -- for their downfall.

Most local adults don't get to head back to school but they can still help kids start the school year on the right foot.
Ten Thousand Villages Langley is collecting school kit supplies for children whose lives are impacted by war, disaster, or poverty.
"In some countries children are not allowed to attend classes without school supplies and a MCC school kit makes it possible for them to go to school" said Olga Nickel, manager of the Ten Thousand Villages store in Langley. "Our efforts to buy a few extra school supplies can make such a big difference in the lives of children."
The campaign runs until the end of September.
Each kit contains four notebooks, four unsharpened pencils, a ruler, a large eraser, and a package of 12 coloured pencils. These supplies are packed in hand-sewn fabric bags and distributed by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) partner agencies in schools and orphanages in Afghanistan, Jordan, Kenya, Ukraine ,and many other countries.
More than 117,000 school kits were distributed last year.
"It is extremely rewarding to be part of a project that brings happiness, hope and encouragement to so many children and their families," said Nickel.
Ten Thousand Villages is a fair trade organization which purchases products from more than 130 artisan groups in more than 35 countries, giving fair value for the work.
"People are truly at the heart of what we do," said Nickel.
"Our desire is to help give artisans the hope, dignity, joy, and respect that come from earning a decent living."
MCC is the relief, development, and service arm of the Mennonite and Brethren in Christ Churches in Canada and the United States.
Started in 1920, MCC is a non-profit organization and currently has approximately 1,100 workers around the world.
Visit mcccanada.ca/kits/school/ for more information or call 888-622-6337. The local store can be reached at 604-534-3868.
