Veteran screen star Tommy Lee Jones makes his directorial debut with the fractured tale of murder and injustice on the U.S.-Mexico border scripted by Amores Perros and 21 Grams screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga. Mike Norton (Barry Pepper) is a fresh-faced Border Patrol officer in Cibolo County, TX, whose dedication to his new job leaves his lonely wife, Lou Ann (January Jones), with little to do but spend her days at the local diner, where she strikes up a friendship with waitress Rachel (Melissa Leo). Despite her own status as a married woman, Rachel is unfulfilled in her marriage and is intimately involved with both rugged rancher Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones) and local sheriff Belmont (Dwight Yoakam). Soon after Pete hires Mexican illegal Melquiades Estrada (Julio César Cedillo) as a ranch hand, the growing bond between the pair is suddenly shattered when, in a moment of panic on a routine patrol, Mike hastily guns down the innocent Melquaides. When an enraged Pete learns that Mike has unceremoniously buried the illegal immigrant in an unmarked desert grave and local authorities opt to overlook the case, he kidnaps the crooked lawman and sets out to ensure that justice is served with or without the involvement of the local police force. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A boy trying to do the right thing for his family loses his closest companion and decides to do something about it in this comedy-drama for the whole family that was shot on location in Texas. Buddy (Jacob Fisher) is a young boy being raised by his single mother Hallie (Joey Lauren Adams) on a small ranch in the Lone Star state. Buddy has been taking care of a young steer he calls Hokey Pokey, and while at first the animal is more of a pet than anything else, with hard work and encouragement Buddy is able to groom Hokey Pokey into a prize-winning steer who wins the Grand Champion award at a major rodeo livestock show. Hokey Pokey is purchased for 775,000 dollars at a livestock auction, which will allow Buddy and his sister to attend college and make life at home a lot easier for his mother. But when Buddy is told that Hokey Pokey's new owner plans to turn the steer into an especially large order of barbecue, he decides he can't let his four-hoofed buddy die, and with the help of his friends he hatches a scheme to kidnap the steer. Grand Champion features cameo appearances from country music stars George Strait, Natalie Maines (of the Dixie Chicks), and Robert Earl Keen, as well as several top rodeo riders. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The first of a number of sequels to the highly successful western mini-series Lonesome Dove featured few of the same actors as the original, nor was it based on a novel by Larry McMurtry. In this outing, onetime Texas Ranger Call (Jon Voight, replacing Tommy Lee Jones) heads a group of cowboys leading horses from Texas north to Montana. Along the way, Call again meets Clara Allen (Barbara Hershey, taking over for Anjelica Huston), the love of his late partner McCrae's life. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Add Guilty by Suspicion to top of Queue
The directorial debut of producer Irwin Winkler, Guilty by Suspicion is a sobering account of one movie executive's woes in dealing with the political fallout from the McCarthy Era Hollywood blacklist. Robert De Niro stars as David Merrill, a film director in the 1950s whose obsession with his burgeoning career has estranged him from his wife Ruth (Annette Bening) and their son. When he returns from a trip to Paris, Merrill is surprised when told by his boss, Darryl F. Zanuck (Ben Piazza) that he's been summoned to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, which is investigating Communist ties to Hollywood. Although Merrill once attended a meeting years before, he's not a Communist, and he refuses to help the committee wreck the career of his friend Bunny Baxter (George Wendt). Merrill becomes blacklisted, unable to find work even in menial positions or under assumed names as the editor of a B-movie or the director of a low-budget Western. Reconciled with his family, Merrill caves in and agrees to testify, but as he prepares to "name names," his conscience plagues him. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Devil-may-care navy pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for advanced training. Here he vies with Tom Kasansky (Val Kilmer) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. When not so occupied, Mitchell carries on a romance with civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). Shaken up by the death of a friend, Mitchell loses the Top Gun honor to Kasansky. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy planes. The story wasn't new in 1986, but Top Gun scored with audiences on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences. The film made more money than any other film in 1986 and even spawned a 1989 takeoff, Hot Shots. An Academy Award went to the Giogio Moroder-Tom Whitlock song "Take My Breath Away." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Legend of Billie Jean
With their father dead and their mother busy trying to land a steady beau, pretty teen Billy Jean Davy (Helen Slater) and her younger brother, Binx (Christian Slater), spend their time riding Binx's moped and dreaming of life in Vermont -- several climate zones away from the humid, omnipresent heat of their Texas town. One day, on their way from their trailer park home to a swimming hole, the Davy kids run afoul of rich boy Hubie Pyatt (Barry Tubb) and his cronies, who steal -- and later trash -- the scooter Binx bought with his father's paltry life insurance benefits. Demanding payment from Hubie and his merchant dad (Richard Bradford) for the damage that's been inflicted on both the bike and her brother's face, Billie Jean narrowly escapes being raped by the elder Pyatt. In the ensuing scuffle, Binx accidentally shoots Mr. Pyatt, sending himself, Billie Jean, and their friends, Ophelia (Martha Gehman) and Putter (Yeardley Smith), on the lam. When the "Billie Jean Gang" becomes a media sensation, Pyatt capitalizes on their notoriety by selling T-shirts and bric-a-brac, while policeman Ringwald (Peter Coyote), who feels guilty for having refused to help Billie Jean, tries to bring the kids in without anyone getting hurt. However, when the gang mock-kidnaps rich amateur filmmaker Lloyd (Keith Gordon), unaware that he's the district attorney's son, the situation spins out of control. Soon, Lloyd's videotape of the suddenly crop-topped, Joan of Arc-emulating, eminently telegenic Billie Jean elevates a local headline into a national sensation, and even Lloyd's attraction to Billie Jean can't protect her from the media lightning rod she's become. The Legend of Billie Jean marks the screen debut of Christian Slater, who is no relation to co-star Helen Slater. Actor Gordon, who made his debut as a screenwriter with Mark Romanek's Static the year Billie Jean came out, would go on to direct a number of critically acclaimed films. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

This is the true story of Rocky Dennis (Eric Stoltz), a personable young man suffering from "lionitis," a fatal disease which causes hideous facial disfigurement. The son of freewheeling biker Rusty Dennis (Cher), Rocky is accepted without question by his mom's boyfriends and cycle buddies, but treated with pity, condescension, and disgust by much of the outside world. The local high school principal tries to get Rocky classified as brain-damaged so he won't have to enroll the boy in his school, but Rusty fights for her son's rights with the ferocity of a mother lioness. Rocky makes friends easily both at school and at summer camp. He also falls in love with Diana (Laura Dern), a blind girl who cannot see his deformed countenance and is entranced by the boy's kindness and compassion. Now that he's got his own life in order, Rocky sets about to wean his chronically depressed mother from her drug habit. Mask is the sort of story that might have ending up wallowing in its own pathos had the acting, direction and scriptwriting (by Anna Hamilton Phelan) been anything less than very good. The film proved a much-needed financial success for director Peter Bogdanovich, though unfortunately it didn't come soon enough to stave off his declaring personal bankruptcy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Consenting Adult
Martin Sheen, who in 1972 co-starred in That Certain Summer, the precedent-setting TV movie concerning homosexuality, is cast as the father of an "out of closet" gay son in Consenting Adult. Sheen and his wife Marlo Thomas are devastated when their college-age son Barry Tubb comes forth with details of his sexual preference. Thomas is convinced that Tubb can be "cured" through psychiatry; Sheen, a prideful man suffering from several illnesses, is unable to accept his son for what he is--as much as he wants to. Only Tubb's married sister Talia Balsam can approach the situation with understanding. Consenting Adults is based on a novel by Laura Z. Hobson (of Gentleman's Agreement fame). It was first telecast on February 4, 1985. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

If you've hit the beach, chances are you've experienced an unfortunate rite of summer: The sunburn. Skin so swollen it hurts to bend.
The heat that rises from reddened shoulders. The "ow, ow, ow" from the shower after you'd thought the pain had faded.
For all the creams that promise to soothe, there aren't super treatments for a sunburn. Dermatologists say the best bet: Some of the same pills you pop for a headache — like the ibuprofen found in Motrin and Advil, or naproxen brands such as Aleve.
If that sounds too simple, well, scientists don't know exactly what causes this kind of touch-sensitive pain. But research is getting them closer to some answers.

More than any time in the history of the world, Technology (driven by knowledge) and Service Delivery (driven by employee engagement) are the keys for organizational growth, and the foundation for the evolving economy. With this environment, comes a need to place focused emphasis on attracting the best people (read: the RIGHT people) to achieve sustained organizational success.
The value of having the right people in the right seats is that it allow organizations' to work more efficiently and, to use an overused term, do more with less. The extra effort put forth to complete work that is necessary for your company's success, but falls outside the normal job description or requirements, can be defined as "discretionary effort"- that effort which goes above and beyond what is minimally required to perform the job. Discretionary Effort is the foundation of, and a measuring stick for, employee engagement. That is, the more engaged an employee is the more likely and willing they are to put in extra effort on behalf of the company's goals.
HR Leaders, therefore, can strongly impact the organizational success (revenue and profit), by ensuring that employees are motivated and engaged. The first step is discovering and defining what attributes of your workplace drives motivated employees- your employer value proposition. Once you have that in place, it's necessary to develop an effective strategy to communicate those attributes to develop an emotional connection across the talent life-cycle- candidates, new employees, employees, and exiting employees.
In my experience, and based on research from Gallup, Tower Watson, McKinsey, and others, sustainable organizational success is tied directly to the level of engagement (discretionary effort) of your employees. Companies who do this effectively, are filled with employees who take pride in the work they do, and who are exceedingly willing to actively drive the organization's overall success- the 110%ers.

Dear Friends,

You can find it each day on the "Hope and Healing For Divorced Catholics" page here at CatholicMatch under the "Daily Reflections" section.
Sincerely - Lisa Duffy
Thank you for sharing this with us. I am joining you in prayer and thank you very much for this blessing.
Healing Prayer at Bedtime
Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, go back into my memory as I sleep. Every hurt that has ever been done to me - heal that hurt. Every hurt that has ever been done to me - heal that hurt. All the relationships that have ever been damaged in my whole life that I am aware of - heal those relationships. But Lord, if there is anything that I need to do - if I need to go to a person because he is still suffering from my hand, bring to my awareness that person. I choose to forgive, and I ask to be forgiven. Remove whatever bitterness may be in my heart, Lord, and fill the empty spaces with your love. Thank you, Jesus, Amen...
Also I find it helpful to try to go to First Friday Masses.... Hope this helps. God Bless Brenda angel

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Learning is hard work but it can be fun! As a teacher with 19 years of experience in figuring out the best way people learn, I can help you find the way(s) you learn best. You can learn and be successful in ANYTHING if you go about it the right way! I am here to help!
I have had lots of success in getting children excited about reading! The more a child reads, the more successful a student they become in all content areas, a fact proven by educational research. Unfortunately, passing standardized tests in reading requires a particular set of skills that not all good readers have. My many years of experience in teaching reading and the skills necessary for proving mastery on reading tests will help your student be successful.
I hold a Texas teaching certification in English and Reading for grades 8-12. I am also certified to teach all subjects for 4th to 8th grades. In 2010 my 7th grade English students had a 100% passing rate on the TAKS Writing test and nearly that high the next year. I am a writer and participated in the Houston Area Writing Project. In my life outside of teaching, I have proofread many professional documents.
I have a Texas teaching certification in English as a Second Language (ESL.) In my 17 years of being a teacher, I have helped many students improve their English, and I have worked with students who range from beginner to advanced. We will work together on speaking, reading or writing - whatever you need.
I hold Texas Certifications in 4-12 English and Reading. I can help you!
I taught 3rd and 4th grade self contained (all subjects) classes for 10 years and know that basic numeracy concepts must be mastered early. Now that I teach 8th grade Math, I see many children who never really understood the basics. Math is fun - it is just puzzles!
I have taught for 17 years, Kindergarten-9th grade. My first 10 years of teaching I worked at an elementary school for the gifted, teaching in self contained classroom format. I taught a self contained combination 3rd and 4th grade for 8 years. In my classroom I taught all subjects except gym.I left teaching for a time and when I came back to it I taught Kindergarten for 1/2 year, then 2nd grade and 4th grade for a year each. Again, these were self-contained.This past school... Read More
I am certified in English and Reading and ESL. Learning phonics helps many of my students to better understand spelling and decoding.
In my 17 years of teaching, I have learned many study and learning strategies to help my students succeed.Students in all grades need to be taught study skills in order to be successful. In each of my years of teaching, study skills have been important to the success of my students on any classroom test and on the major high stakes testing such as TAKS. Depending on the level of student and on the student's personal learning style, I will help them with methods pulled from AVID, Quantum... Read More

I also conducted classes for incoming groups of employees (cast members) in body language, presentation and speaking skills, storytelling and dealing with guests... Read More
I hold a Special Education K-12 Texas Certificate. I also taught 3rd and 4th grade for 10 years in a private school for the gifted. A large percentage of our students had ADHD. One year I had 6 of 15 children with ADHD. I don't know if we had large numbers of ADHD kids because they were gifted and bored in regular school and thus unable to focus, or that the larger classes of public school were unable to handle them. I used many strategies to keep these students engaged and focused. In the years... Read More
I hold a Special Education K-12 Texas Teachers Certification. I also taught for my first 10 years at an elementary school for the gifted. We always had a few high functioning Aspergers students. These children were quite intelligent and had serious social challenges.

I am certified as a Generalist 4-8 and help people understand Social Studies using the interesting stories of people doing extraordinary things. I spent 10 years teaching in a self contained elementary classroom, where our curriculum included Social Studies. When I taught middle school English, I took great care to select literature that supported the Social Studies learning students were doing in their other classes.

The True Story of Washington Mutual's Implosion, from Ground Zero
On a day when JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon has announced its "London whale" trader's losses had grown to $5.8 billion–up about three times from the $1.7 billion previously disclosed, with a possibility of losses reaching $7 billion–and yet JPMorgan Chase also helps "launch a stock market rally," former WaMu shareholders might feel like screaming or crying, or both.
How does former WaMu head Kerry Killinger feel, when reading in the Los Angeles Times that because JPMorgan Chase's loss "wasn't as bad as the most dire predictions," their "stock shot up $2.07 to $36.12." What is Dimon's special sauce? This is also a question raised by The Lost Bank: The Story of Washington Mutual–The Biggest Bank Failure in American History.
It arises on page seven, in the prologue, as a WaMu shareholder sees on TV the news of WaMu's sale to JPMorgan Chase, after its seizure by the Office of Thrift Supervision. It's September 25, 2008, and somehow Jamie Dimon has arranged to buy a bank with $307 billion in assets for $1.88 billion. Yes, as the e-generation likes to say (for the next two minutes or so, give the lifespan of these things), "this is a thing that happened." The seizure and sale wiped out shocked WaMu stock and debt holders.
Kirsten Grind was working for the Puget Sound Business Journal when her coverage of WaMu (née Washington Mutual) grew into its own beat. Her dogged pursuit of the story–whose aftereffects are ongoing–nearly won her a Pulitzer. Her book, The Lost Bank, is more chronicle than analysis, which lends it a gut-wrenching immediacy as it gets down to the bank's last pages.
It's well-blurbed by seemingly everyone but Kerry Killinger. (In a recent letter to family and friends, Killinger complains that the book doesn't take into account the way he managed to lead the bank to its fate via a "smaller and declining part of the company's business," which admittedly is no mean trick.) The most frequent criticism is that Grind recounts more than she explains, which is partly a question of your taste for wonkiness.
I eventually tired of Grind's reportorial reflex to find at least two quotable sides to describe any given situation. Here she is, almost parodying the style, on John Reich of the OTS:
Reich, described as both stubborn and determined, boastful and proud, sympathetic and naive, once claimed that he would rather be right than popular. His critics disagree with that statement.
The FDIC's Sheila Bair, Reich and WaMu's nemesis, is said to have a reputation as a "thoughtful, intelligent thinker." It's like the thesaurus button is stuck.
On the other hand, Grind's eye for minutiae helps paint a frustratingly compelling picture of how the bank went bad. It's easy to dismiss the complexity of life once it's stopped flooding toward you and appears in the rearview mirror. Killinger is not incorrect when he bridles at being held up as the one idiot who didn't see the meltdown coming. So Grind's approach, to go back to the last time Washington Mutual was at death's door, paint a portrait of the beloved and sage Lou Pepper (sort of a hybrid Yoda-and-Colonel Sanders for latter-day WaMulians), and proceed from there, provides balance.
If you don't meet Kerry Killinger when he and Washington Mutual are on the way up, it would be inconceivable to imagine why he was granted so much authority when it became clear the bank was deeply troubled. And the story of any stressed institution is that, at any given moment, there are a number of contradictory stories being told about it, internally and externally.
Perhaps fatally, WaMu was a thrift. (Compare and contrast its story with the fate of Citigroup.) Thrifts are supposed to be staid and vanilla, mainly issuing rock-solid 30-year mortgages to the communities they serve. The margins are thin. When Killinger took over from Pepper, he adopted a strategy of acquisitions that may, depending on your age, bring to mind the strategy behind First Citiwide Change Bank: "All the time, our customers ask us, 'How do you make money doing this?' The answer is simple: Volume. That's what we do."
"Pepper had left Killinger a bank with 50 branches and $7 billion in assets," writes Grind. By the end of the '90s, Washington Mutual has amassed $150 billion. Then you turn the page, to a new chapter, and 2003, in which the bank reviews mortgages written by a newer acquisition, the Long Beach Mortgage company, a subprime lender. 40 percent of their sampling contains a "critical error." To keep this in perspective, they have also grown the worth of loans written to $11 billion, a 400-percent increase since their purchase by WaMu. Grind is great on the parties and excesses, and the winking at outright fraud.
As Grind tells it, WaMu was already in trouble: Its management ran a much larger bank than they had systems in place for, and the pace of acquisition had outrun their ability to do basic things like track documentation. A Fortune article appears in 2004: "What Went Wrong at WaMu." Killinger is described as a little old lady with a Rottweiler (in reference to WaMu's pushing more-profitable Option ARMs to people who could have qualified for more reasonable loans), and, in 2007, as the housing market slumped, "a small boy watching a house engulfed by flames."
The rest is post mortem but engrossing as well, as WaMu struggles to control its image, while government regulators mount a suddenly serious crusade for accountability. The FDIC's Sheila Bair, past forbearance with OTS "oversight" of WaMu, begins lobbying for WaMu to be sold before its failure can impact the FDIC's balance sheet, and this provokes interdepartmental wrangling that proceeds until the final pages. (By the end, you get the impression that Bair has gone full-on Buffy, and is determined to take this vampire out, if nothing else. It's personal.)
Comically, a 27-year-old named Brian Mueller appears. Previously employed at a bowling alley, he has somehow become the whiz kid who tells WaMu executives how much money is leaving as the bank faces runs by spooked customers. He's doing this with automated Excel spreadsheets. "It was just amazing what you can program Excel to do," Grind quotes Mueller as telling her. "People actually thought I was working Sunday mornings." Again, this is a $307-billion-in-assets company. Do not trust bankers in khaki.
WaMu becomes a casualty in the "fog of war" that developed during the subprime meltdown–victim of a liquidity crunch that may or may not have been survivable. There's much discussion about who knew what when, in the final hours when WaMu was hoping to be sold and the phones went silent, but finally, Grind merely reports that JPMorgan Chase paid its $1.88 billion, and can't tell you if Dimon had back-channel information.
It still makes you scratch your head: JPMorgan Chase estimated it might need to write down about ten percent of WaMu's book value, $30 billion. If this is so, that pencils out to…carry the two…a $275-billion profit. In that context, even a $7-billion loss here and there looks like a rounding error. Carry on, Mr. Dimon.

With Beltan there, think Yanks might try Sori at second for a year?

Thank you! I understand...it's not as bad as you think, I know the difference - more of a mental typo; I work in pro audio and I occasionally type BASS instead of base ... and MUTE instead of moot etc. ugh.
So you are saying that the Cubs aren't spending because they can't? Not because they have a plan. Is that your point?

fair point, as Cubs fans we're use to being the abused in an abusive relationship, yet we just can't stop coming back for more.
Who said we're enjoying it?
I kid, it's my only source for Cubs news, pretty much.
At the Cubs current stage it's too much but there may be a time in the future where they need to get a player like that. I don't think the Ricketts have the financial chops to do it.
We covered it. But the Cubs playing like a mid market team isn't going to cut it long term. Cano isn't the point here.
My thoughts about it are conflicted: http://www.thecubreporter.com/comment/218570#comme...
But at the end of the day I do get the sense that the Ricketts are in way over their heads and have no business trying to play this game.
Thank you.
Ha. Thanks for letting us all vent and postulate here. Thanks for turning us on to AZ PHIL. And Tim. And CUBSTER. But not for The Real Neal, or Silent Towel.
Damn right you will. And a smile wouldn't hurt, either.
Seriously, though, the work's appreciated.

Happy Ending for French Publishers and Google
A six-year battle between Google and leading publishers in France has been resolved peacefully, according to The Financial Times.
The two sides said they had agreed a "framework agreement" under which French publishers can strike their own commercial arrangements individually with Google, which will exchange information with publishers instead of scanning French books without consent.
French publishers and authors had accused the search giant of scanning works without consent. Now each publisher can decide for itself whether or not to release a work on Google.
Most importantly for both sides, the deal opens up a new potential source of revenue, particularly for rare and out of print books.
Les Capitales de Quebec
Baseball-loving Francophiles suffered a major setback in 2004 when the Montreal Expos became the Washington Nationals.
The words prise (strike), manche (inning) and circuit (home run) are now heard by fewer and fewer listeners.
Nevertheless, aficionados of both baseball and the French language need not despair. The Quebec Capitales of the CanAm League will fill in any linguistic gap left behind by Les Expos.
And what's more, they are only half a game out of first place.

Christmas Tree to be displayed at Shreveport Airport | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The Shreveport Airport Authority has joined Shreveport and Bossier City schools to create a Christmas tree display at Shreveport Regional Airport.
For the second straight year, students are asked to make airport- or aviation-themed ornaments. Each tree will feature a different classroom ornament collection. The collection will be displayed on the pedestrian cross bridge at the top of the escalators at the airport.
The 14-foot-tall official Shreveport Regional Airport Christmas tree also features ornaments made by students that are their take on the Shreveport Airport Authority globe logo.
"We at Shreveport Regional Airport enjoy involving the community in our holiday celebration, and the pinnacle is the incredible contribution we receive from local schools. The Airport's Christmas Tree Lane comes to life thanks to the decorations adorning the trees," said Bryant L. Francis, Director of Airports for the Shreveport Airport Authority.
Participating schools include Atkins Technology Elementary, Claiborne Fundamental Magnet Elementary, Forest Hill Elementary, Ridgewood Middle School, Riverside Elementary, Southern Hills Elementary and Walnut Hill Elementary/Middle School in Shreveport and Platt Elementary in Bossier City. The Christmas trees were donated to Shreveport Regional Airport by The Home Depot.
The Christmas trees and ornaments will be on display through New Year's Day.

Michigan AG's office plans to prosecute roadway shooting spree suspect in at least 1 county
Raulie Casteel charged in Livingston, Oakland counties
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says his office will prosecute a man suspected in a shooting spree that targeted motorists in four counties last month.
The AG's office announced Tuesday it had agreed to take over the cases at the request of prosecutors in Livingston, Ingham and Shiawassee counties.
Raulie Casteel currently faces charges in Livingston and Oakland counties.
Schuette's office will lead the prosecution of Casteel in the Livingston case. The Oakland County prosecutor's office will continue to handle the 60 counts Casteel faces in connection with shootings in Wixom and Commerce Township.
The attorney general's office says its criminal division will review evidence collected by a multi-jurisdictional task force and decide whether to bring charges related to shootings in Ingham and Shiawassee counties.
The shootings began Oct. 16 and stretched from Oakland County west to Ingham County. The targets mostly were cars traveling on roads near Interstate 96. Only a handful of shootings actually occurred on the interstate. In all, 24 shootings were reported to police.
Casteel has been charged and arraigned in Livingston County with six counts related to an alleged shooting incident on I-96 in Howell. The felony charges include: assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm with unlawful intent and discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle.
In Oakland County, Casteel is charged with 60 counts for incidents alleged to have occurred in that county. Casteel has not yet been charged for alleged incidents that occurred in Ingham and Shiawassee Counties. Schuette's Criminal Division will review evidence collected by the multi-jurisdictional task force and make a decision about what criminal charges should be filed, if any.

C# Generics and anonymous methods
Friday, November 14th, 2008I've never been much of a C# maven or anything, but I've really fallen in love with this construct in the language. One thing which I guess almost anyone does alot of is building a string, from a list of business objects. Let's say you have a list of GUIDs, and you either want to display them, or build an SQL string from them for use in a query.
List<Guid> gs; string s; foreach (Guid g in gs) { s += "Id='" + g.ToString() + "' OR "; } if (result.Length > 0) { s = s.Substring(0, s.Length-3); }
That's some good ole fashioned string fucking, and since I've come over from HTML/JavaScript/(Classic) ASP/PHP, that's bussiness as usual by all standards. But I've never liked several aspects of it.

On a ski trip to Switzerland in 2005, Aneta Mak and Phil Hopper found love on the slopes. When Aneta, a wedding and lifestyle photographer, returned to London and Phil stayed in Verbier (he was a ski coach at the time), they kept in touch. Five years later, Phil, now a garden designer, proposed. For their August 27, 2011, destination wedding, they headed to the French countryside and hosted an affair complete with Provencal touches (lavender sprigs, wine and cheese, macarons) and British twists (Pimm's Cup cocktails). The intimate, nontraditional wedding was filled with European style.
Mas des Comtes de Provence in Tarascon, a small town near Avignon, France, was the idyllic setting for the relaxed, outdoor nuptials. The extensive property boasts a privately owned 15th-century country house, olive and cypress trees, gazebos, and old stone buildings adorned with sage-green shutters.
Photographer Leo Patrone captured the couple during cocktail hour in their venue's courtyard.
Aneta donned a limited edition Anoushka G. gown with a detachable train. She paired it with Jimmy Choo heels and a bee necklace from Alex Monroe.
The bridesmaids wore Vicky Martin dresses and carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. Phil and his groomsmen wore gray vests and trousers from Next and ties from Tie Rack.
The ceremony guides, created by Paper + Cup Design, featured illustrations of the couple. Inventive guests also used them to shade their faces from the sun.
Aneta walked down the aisle with her mother to Jose Gonzales's "Heartbeats," played acoustically by the band Fingers in the Jam. During the service, Phil's sisters read a poem by Edward Lear -- "The Owl and the Pussycat" -- and Aneta's cousin and friend recited the lyrics to Adam Sandler's "I Wanna Grow Old with You" from "The Wedding Singer." After their "I do"s, they walked up the aisle to Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks."
Centerpieces of vuvuzela roses, lysianthus, freesia, sweet William, olive branches, and lavender were wrapped in burlap to add rustic texture. Tea light candles, housed in vintage milk bottles supplied romantic lighting.
Sprigs of lavender tied with raffia and customized postcards of the French countryside garnished each place setting. Guests were encouraged to write on them and mail them the following day.
Dinner began with a bowl of hearty French onion soup. A buffet of locally grown organic dishes followed and included ratatouille, potato gratin, thyme-and-rosemary lamb steaks, garlic-and-lemon chicken, olives, and cheeses.
The backs of Aneta and Phil's chairs were decorated with long strands of VV Rouleaux ribbons.
Mary Lee Herrington of Forever & Ever Events found small notebooks from Moleskine and customized them with grosgrain ribbon bookmarks, washi tape binding, and custom labels from Paper + Cup Design. Each journal's cover asked the guests a different question about the couple, and colored pencils were set out for guests to answer them.
Aneta and Phil met with a professional choreographer to plan their first dance. They started with the sweet song "Close To You" by the Carpenters, then cut to a guitar riff from Fallout Boy's cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" (Phil played air guitar while Aneta removed the detachable train of her dress). Ending the music mashup was a line dance to "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, during which the couple invited everyone to join them.
