Burnaby drivers should take note that the RCMP will have a targeted distracted driving enforcement campaign this month.
According to an RCMP press release, in 2012, 30 per cent of motor vehicle fatalities involved distracted driving and 37 per cent of serious motor vehicle injuries involved distracted driving.
Since the implementation of legislation banning the use of handheld devices in January 2010, police in British Columbia have issued 105,972 violation tickets for use of handheld electronic devices.
"In the month of February, police across B.C. will be targeting drivers who operate vehicles while using a handheld device," said Cpl. Robert McDonald of B.C. RCMP Traffic Services. "Holding a cell phone in your hand on speaker phone is an offence ... and could result in a fine of $167. This also applies to leaving the cellphone on your console and typing while stopped in traffic."
Graduated License Program drivers (L and N drivers) are not permitted any use of electronic devices, including hands-free devices.
McDonald said drivers who are observed to contravene other rules of the road while using a handheld device can also be charged with driving without due care and attention, which carries a fine of $368. Offences that put others at risk, including speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too close, and failure to obey traffic control device will trigger the increased penalty.

For Second Debate, Its Ladies Night
13 points -- Barack Obamas margin of victory among female voters in the 2008 election according to exit polls.
The Obama campaign is pooh-poohing the new USA Today/Gallup poll that shows a tie among female voters between President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Team Obama calls the poll an extreme outlier and suggests that the president still enjoys an advantage with women voters. But even if the Blue Team were still rocking the 8-point advantage with women that Obamas pollsters suggest, it would still mean an Obama loss. Obama doesnt just need to win with women, he needs a blowout. Maybe not the 13 points of 2008, but pretty close. Heres why. Obama won with male voters by a single point in 2008. Hes not going to come close this time. In fact, he is looking at a massive loss with men. The most recent FOX News poll shows Obama down 10 points with likely male voters. The good news for Democrats is that they traditionally enjoy an advantage with female voters and female voters traditionally outnumber male voters. Women made up 53 percent of the electorate in 2008 exit polls and 52 percent in 2010. Most of the presidents outreach to women so far has centered on warning that Romney and the Republicans are radical on abortion and birth control. If the president tries that again tonight, it could be curtains for his re-election hopes. - But in 2010, women swung 8 points from Democrat to Republican, giving the GOP a rare 1-point advantage among female voters. The male swung 6 points, returning to a more typical Republican advantage in the dude vote. The midterms were a Democratic wipeout of historic proportions, but even if Obama doubles John Kerrys 2004 advantage of 3 points among women, he would have big trouble on his hands. Men look likely to vote for Romney at a higher level than George W. Bushs 9-point advantage eight years ago, more than enough to offset the higher voting frequency of women. The past two weeks have been a thoroughgoing disaster for Obama with women. First, Romney showed himself as a moderate problem solver in the first presidential debate. He talked about the federal debt a key concern for conscientious moms and he demonstrated presidential-style composure. Second, Vice President Joe Biden turned in a cringe-inducing performance in his showdown with Rep. Paul Ryan. While the Democratic base may have thrilled to see the vice president in bully bulldozer mode, polls show that a lot of women found his aggressive behavior off-putting. Women have been shown to value compromise civil discourse and respectful campaigning more than men, and Biden showed neither. Now, as Obama heads into tonights high-stakes town-hall debate, his campaign is promising that the president will be aggressive and take the fight to Romney to block and reverse Romneys surge. The promise from team Obama is that the president will act as a prosecutor tonight, attacking Romneys record and character. What a mistake that would be. Obama has yet to fully make the case for his own re-election. He has not made a full defense of his biggest policy achievements: more than $1 trillion in stimulus measures and his 2010 health law. Neither has the president articulated a vision for his next four years that goes beyond a plea to stay the course and allow his policies to work. Bill Clinton showed how it should be done in his convention speech, but Obama has so far failed to make his own case, trying instead to make the race a referendum on Romneys character. Moreover, Obama is at his worst when he is being contentious or argumentative. While his sullen performance two weeks ago was unattractive to voters, Obama the aggressive would be a disaster, especially given the format of tonights debate. With women moving Romneys way, Obama has to find a way to replicate some of his 2008 town-hall debate performance. Read more: For Second Debate | |

Synopsis: The debate still rages as to whether Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much is superior to his own original 1934 version. This two-hour remake (45 minutes longer than the first film) features more stars, a lusher budget, and the plaintive music of Bernard Herrmann (who appears on-camera, typecast as a symphony conductor).

This week, we're expecting to see Oprah push the limits with Skype even further. Watch Josh Silverman, President of Skype, make an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Thursday, May 21st as part of the "Where the Skype are You?" episode. It's going to be a fascinating Skype adventure not to be missed as Oprah takes viewers to some surprising places over Skype video.

I recently dowloaded version 4.0 of Skype. My operation system is Windows Vista premium edition. With Skype installed in the machine Microsoft Office Outlook will not work I had to uninstall Skype. Do you have a solution to this problem?

andretamm said 5 years ago
Based on the given information it seems that this issue might be caused by the feature that enables you to view MS Outlook contacts in Skype.
First, please try to disable option "Show Outlook Contacts" in Skype under "Contacts" menu.In order to investigate and properly address this issue I kindly ask you to contact Skype Customer Support directly.

The Rev. Otis Moss Jr. believes the nation will witness an epic moment in history when President Barack Obama publicly takes his oath of office on the day set aside to commemorate the life of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in a year that marks the 50th anniversary of a pivotal time in the civil rights movement.
"It will set forth a memory that no one will ever be able to erase. It's indelible," said Moss, a civil rights and social justice advocate. "When people talk about the second inauguration of Barack Obama 100 years from now, they will reference it on Martin Luther King Day."
Moss' career has included working with King, co-pastoring Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church with the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., serving more than three decades as pastor of one of Cleveland's most influential churches, Olivet Institutional Baptist, and chairing the national clergy advisory committee of the 2008 Obama campaign.
He is not alone in his belief about today's importance.
Surinder Bhardwaj, a Hindu priest and professor emeritus in Kent State University's geography department, considers the event to be miraculous. He said he believes Obama's re-election is an important step in progress toward fulfilling King's vision of a time when people are judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
"It's totally awesome that a man of African-American descent has been elected to a second term as president. We are watching miracles right now," said Bhardwaj, 78, of Kent. "When I look at President Obama, I am filled with the hope that maybe America has matured to a place where anybody who is good can be accepted."
Bhardwaj, a native of India, said he was appalled when he came to the United States in 1962 as a graduate student in the Minneapolis area and saw startling images on black-and-white television of police confronting civil rights protesters. He said he will never forget the images of demonstrators being beaten with nightsticks and facing down fire hoses.
"I was baffled by the whole thing. In India, we had been taught that freedom reigned in America. But when I saw huge German shepherd police dogs being let loose on peaceful marchers, I realized that the caste system didn't only exist in India," Bhardwaj said. "I couldn't understand the oppression in a country that was supposed to have equality for everyone."
Segregation battle
The following spring, the civil rights movement experienced a pivotal moment when King took on segregation in Birmingham, Ala. — a city that had earned the nickname "Bombingham" because of the number of explosions that had claimed lives (including four school girls) and destroyed homes and churches.
The website www.nobodyturnmearound.com — named for Charles Eucher's book, Nobody Turn Me Around: A People's History of the 1963 March on Washington — documents a march through downtown Birmingham on Good Friday that resulted in the arrest of 750 people, including King, and drew international attention to the movement.
In the weeks after Birmingham, nearly 15,000 protesters were arrested around the country.
In August, more than 200,000 people gathered in the nation's capital to rally for jobs and freedom. Moss, a Georgia native, was among those arrested during the demonstrations and those in the crowd at the historic march at the Lincoln Memorial, where King delivered his I Have a Dream speech.
"I happen to be one of those who is a believer in the scripture that says 'all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose' [Romans 8:28, KJV]," said Moss, who was named by Obama to serve in 2009 on a newly established White House Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
"Just like it took a coalition of people — religious and nonreligious, young and old, black and white, male and female — to win the struggle for the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act, it took a coalition ... to elect Barack Obama to a second term," Moss said. "Every generation has an obligation to fight for the rights that their forebearers have won in the past. Once you assume that the protection of a right is no longer necessary, that's when you lose it. We can never afford to be complacent."
Poverty continues
Moss used poverty as an example, saying that the thrust of the civil rights movement in 1968 was to eliminate poverty.
"The Poor People's Campaign was a bold and necessary action, and it is in no way over. The rise in the poverty index is startling."
Rabbi Gerald Zelizer, a native of Columbus who now leads Congregation Neve Shalom in Metuchen, N.J., agrees the struggle is not over.
As a young rabbi, he heard King speak during a national rabbinical convention in New York in 1968, just 10 days before he was assassinated. King's talk that day included his hope for racial equality and the end of the Vietnam War, his goal for ending poverty for 40 million Americans and his challenge to the religious community to lead the fight against social injustices.
"His words still resonate: 'All too often I have seen religious leaders stand amid the social injustices that pervade our society, mouthing pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities. All too often the religious community has been a taillight instead of a headlight,' " he said.
Zelizer, 74, said he believes Obama's re-election is the fulfillment of what King hoped for in the political arena. He warned, however, that the accomplishment should not deter people, particularly those in the faith community, to fight social injustices.
"Some of the social issues that [King] addressed were submerged by the achievement of racial equality in the political sphere. That should not deter us from unresolved issues like poverty and work issues," Zelizer said. "His moral and religious fervor began with his own people, but it didn't stop there. It expanded to incorporate the unifying themes of all faiths, and those with no faith, and an assortment of societal ills, of which racial equality was only one. He defined the common humanity of all people."

Obama and Democrats want to eliminate tax breaks and loopholes worth about $600 billion over 10 years as part of a broader $1.2 trillion deficit-reduction package that would include entitlement reforms.
Some Republicans have indicated support for ending such tax breaks as part of a broad deal. However, the fiscal-cliff agreement in January that resulted in higher tax rates on top income earners galvanized opposition by GOP leaders to further increases in tax revenue.
Meanwhile, Republicans say Obama and Democrats must deliver on significant entitlement reforms.
One change Obama has proposed would tighten the adjustment for inflation of benefits such as Social Security, meaning annual increases for future recipients would grow at a slower pace.
Opponents of the reform, known as "chained CPI" in reference to the Consumer Price Index it involves, argue it hurts senior citizens and others who most need their benefits.
If achieved, a grand bargain would give Obama a major political victory and a boost in cementing his desired presidential legacy after the controversial health care and Wall Street reforms of his first term.
Republicans also would get credit from moderates and independents for a willingness to compromise, but conservatives could punish them with primary challenges in 2014 and beyond.
Another possible outcome is a limited agreement that would include some elements under discussion.
For example, a smaller agreement might end some tax breaks and loopholes while cutting Medicare costs paid to providers, not beneficiaries, to achieve $500 billion or so in deficit reduction over 10 years.
Such a result, coupled with previous spending cuts and the January fiscal-cliff deal, would fail to reach the total $4 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade that economists and political leaders have targeted as the minimum amount needed.
It also would allow both parties to simultaneously claim credit for making some progress while continuing to blame the other for preventing more.
A status quo outcome -- no major deficit reduction steps -- would mean continued brinksmanship over each pending fiscal deadline, as well as further economic uncertainty that already has lowered the U.S. credit rating and slowed growth.

What is Central S.T.A.F.?
S.T.A.F. stands for Students Today, Alumni Forever and it is the OFFICIAL UCO Student Alumni Association.
What is it for?
S.T.A.F. exists to help current students connect the UCO Alumni Association by offering them discounts that shadow the regular Alumni Association benefits. New this year, we're also looking for students leaders to foster a Central S.T.A.F. Council.
What do I get?
With your initial membership, you should have received a welcome letter, a T-Shirt and membership card. Then, throughout the year, we'll be working hard to bring other free stuff, like concert tickets, candy bars (for wearing your S.T.A.F. Shirt), Scantrons and more.
How much does it cost?
Just like the UCO Alumni Association, members are required to pay a small fee yearly. The membership fee of $15 can be paid through the bursar, cash, credit or check. We also have a 4-year membership available to Freshman for $50.
How can I sign up?
You can join online, or by mail, or you can stop by the Alumni House and fill out an application. We hope to see you soon!

The skies above the castle on the cliff had gone from shooting warming rays of sunlight to pelting me with bursting hail and stinging rain and back again. But despite the elements, and even if it never saw a day of sun again, Edinburgh would have been impossible to dislike. It's a lofty, laid-back and quirky city. And depending on the results of a referendum in 2014, it could well become the capital of an independent Scotland for the first time in almost 300 years.
But I hadn't come for the politics. Being of ambiguous Scottish stock, I simply wanted to get a glimpse of my ancestral land and to pay my respects to my favorite whiskies on the peat-covered Isle of Islay. As a companion, I'd brought along a copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's early travel book Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes, which I'd recently found buried in the recesses of my local library. I thought I'd compare the present-day city to his 133-year-old observations.
From the castle, I ambled down the famous Royal Mile — now stuffed with souvenir shops, overpriced whisky and tourists' pubs — past the skyscrapers of old and along what was once considered the most densely packed street in the world. As Stevenson lovingly described it: "Houses sprang up storey after storey, neighbour mounting upon neighbour's shoulders, as in some Black Hole of Calcutta, until the population slept fourteen or fifteen deep in a vertical direction."
But for all the filth and smoke that marred this congested thoroughfare in ages past, many still considered it one of the loveliest roads in Europe. Among the small alleys (called closes) and lanes (called wynds) that jet off toward private courtyards and the historic Grassmarket stands the 14th century High Kirk of Edinburgh, the so-called mother church of Presbyterianism, more commonly known as St. Giles' Cathedral. It's not far from the old house of the two-faced Deacon Brodie, a respected cabinetmaker during the day and notorious thief at night who would rob the houses of his friends and customers and later became the inspiration for Stevenson's book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
I turned on Old Fishmarket Close and descended to the subterranean street called the Cowgate, which is home to the BrewDog bar, one of Scotland's most flavor-forward new breweries. Over a couple of hardy Tokyo Stouts, weighing in at an impressive 18.2 percent alcohol by volume, I got involved with a handful of regulars in a conversation about past English transgressions, the economics of going it alone and how strongly divided the country is on the issue — and, of course, about beer. As Scotland draws its proud descendants, scattered across the globe, BrewDog beckons to global beer geeks like me. Hours later, when the rain picked up again and my head started to clear, I walked off my cheerful, possibly naive thoughts of an independent Scotland on a stroll to the Greyfriars Kirk and surrounding cemetery. Here, in the 1820s, William Burke and William Hare, when not out murdering the city's disadvantaged, stole recently buried bodies that weren't guarded by friends or relatives to sell to the surgeon Robert Knox for his lectures on anatomy. Along with shocking the city at the time, these events would later influence Stevenson's popular short story The Body Snatcher.

-- -- -- -- Take a look at what is behind me 60000.
Pages of Paper that's the size of the US tax code.
If he added up all the loopholes and all those crazy tax regulations.
No wonder why everybody says it's way too complex but our next guest says he can simplify it in four.
Easy steps Stephen Moore Carl buddy as a senior economics writer for the Wall Street Journal joins us live from these mornings -- -- -- Okay so we've got keep -- -- a lot of these papers are still in the in the reams of Paper.
And we're gonna be putting them back into the copy machine throughout the balance the -- they're quick but you say it.
This would not only.
Impact everybody you would actually reduce the amount of tax we pay right.
There's no question about it I mean first of all Steve got pile of Paper you have behind you that doesn't even include.
The tens of thousands of tax regulations that -- a lot about people have to read through to figure out their -- I've -- got my tax expert I've been studying the tax code.
For twenty years I have to confess to you even I had they have a professional taxpayer.
How prepared do my taxes 'cause I couldn't figure it out -- -- say it is a complicated.
Migraine headache and we there's so many ways we can do this batter.
Okay now you've got four steps to simplify everything -- first -- -- go to a flat tax with a postcard tax return that's got that's Rick Perry's idea.
Bob -- -- system logical Steve I mean why can't we go to remember the old Steve Forbes Dick -- idea -- up.
Of a postcard tax return -- With only eight or nine or ten lines I just think that it's so simple so logical.
In -- out of yourself why Washington hasn't got -- you know we spend more hours per year.
Doing our tax returns that are spent building every car band track and that they're playing in America so we can get where it's so much of the waste if we had a flat tax and then also you or you could eliminate the income tax and replace with a national sales tax just forget about that every time -- -- you -- some.
You you know what you let alone made all those shot 60000 pages you have behind you Steve.
Let's just move to our national sales tax where you just pay the tax at the cash registry and other.
Nine states that have no income tax that just collect there they're -- -- -- sales tax that would be so much more logical so much simpler what about reduce the tax rate.
But Tim reduce those rates get the system you know there's an old saying that's what you want is low tax rates.
Get rid of all the loopholes you know Steve and the reason you've got all those pages behind you is special interest groups have inserted all of these loopholes all of these carve -- that do not benefit the American people they just benefit.
Very narrow special interest and they may get so complicated.
All right great advice hey listen do you have time to come up here help me put this all back and copy machine and are -- inside -- they have not you know what Albert Einstein said the most -- the most complicated.
I think in the entire universe is that federal income tax system.
I think you'd be right all right that's even more from the Wall Street Journal thank you very much take care.
I just -- about.

The Long Island Power Authority is reporting at 9:20 p.m. Friday that hundreds of customers in eastern Southampton Town are without power, as a powerful blizzard takes out trees, utility poles and power lines.
Lipower.org states that 86 are without power in Noyac, 19 in North Haven, 17 in Shinnecock Hills and Tuckahoe, and 355 in North Sea. There are scattered outages, affecting just a handful of customers each, throughout the eastern half of town.
National Grid, which took over storm communications from LIPA, stated Friday that the utility expects due to the blizzard; however, National Grid President John Bruckner said power will be restored to customers within 24 hours.
Outages may be called into LIPA at 800-490-0075.
Southampton Town Office of Emergency Management advises that LIPA customers can report outages and receive restoration text message.
"LIPA requires customers pre-register your cellphones in order to report outages and receive restoration updates via text," Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Randy Hintze said. "To register, customers should text REG to 695472 (myLIPA). After registration, to report an outage, the customer would text OUT to 695472 (myLIPA)."
Bruckner said the company has 700 high-voltage lineman and 250 tree-trimmers ready to act after the storm. In addition National Grid is upping the number of call-center personnel to provide better communication during and after the storm, Bruckner said.
Southampton Town and Southampton Village have declared states of emergency. Residents are advised not to leave their homes, and to stay off the roads unless except for emergency travel.

That is one possible title for me. It focuses on what I do rather than on the "senior/junior" status of the pastors. I love being one of a team of elders here at Bethlehem. This camaraderie is sweet and overflowing with blessing for the church. Yes, I carry a unique responsibility for leadership and vision and unity and proclamation. But all of this is in the context of a consensus-loving team.
Unquantifiable Fruit
The fruit of our labors is not finally quantifiable. Who of us can measure the numbers whose faith survived the hard tests of life because of Bethlehem, or how many said no to hundreds of destructive temptations, or how many resolved to undertake a hard act of love, or how many were sustained in a path of justice and mercy and integrity, or how many saints walked in righteousness because of ten thousand prayers, or how many miseries were averted at home and on the mission field because of daily exhortation and prayer, or how many social and political effects flowed from sacrificial action and prayer, or how many seeds of gospel truth were sown that will bear fruit in decades to come in ways we could never dream. But in the reports of this booklet you will read numbers. Lots of them. One in particular I pray will be far larger in 2003 than in 2002 - 64 baptisms. Pray with me that we would be filled with the Holy Spirit and that we might speak the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:31).
Move to Two Sites
The biggest outward development at BBC in 2002 is the move to simultaneous Sunday morning worship services on two sites: Roseville and Downtown. Some of the reasons we ventured into this were:
- More effectively spreading a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ - with all the implications of that mission.
- Flexible possibilities of growth.
- Freedom from the constraints of having to build larger sanctuaries.
- Freedom from having to multiply staff-exhausting worship services in one location.
- Simpler access for hundreds of our "north" people who can now more naturally invite neighbors to go with them to (the nearby!) church gathering.
- Raising up and equipping more lay leaders for ministry.
- Working for racial harmony in more than one place.
- More time between services for prayer and conversation.
- Broadening the base of missionary sending.
- Taking a risk for Christ's sake and trusting the mercy and power of God.
The Sunday morning worship service attendance that led to this venture and that came from it are as follows.
1998 - 1,314 (average)
1999 - 1,665
2000 - 2,037
2001 - 2,212
2002 - 2,433
In the eleven Sundays at two sites the average attendance Downtown was 1,618 and at Roseville, 1,144, with the combined average on two sites (in the last 11 Sundays) at 2,762. The number of Sundays over 3,000 in 2001 was 2 and in 2002 was six. The elders have agreed to wait six months under this new strategy before committing ourselves to any more new broadcast sites. We want to be sure that this is God's way forward before we make any other commitments.
Old Sanctuary Gone
Another visible change this year was the demolition of the "old sanctuary." As I write this, the walls of the basement are being completed with incredibly warm January weather (which will surely not last). I pray that when I write this report next year we will be in the new building devoted to Education for Exultation.
New Pastoral Staff
Less visible but more significant are the changes on the pastoral staff with the addition of Erik Hyatt as Minister for Missions and Sherard Burns as Associate for Evangelism, Assimilation, and Adult Ministries. I am thrilled with God's goodness to us in bringing these strong leaders to us.
Racial Diversity and Harmony
Quietly, and without flare, we make headway in "the mighty long journey" of racial diversity and harmony. Every ethnic group matters. We cannot invest the same energy in every ethnic relationship. Most of the effort has gone toward the historically troubled white-black divide. One strategy of advance in this journey is to bless the church first with African-American leadership (pastor-elders), then over time, with that empowered help, increase the multi-ethnic, heaven-like appearance of Sunday morning and everyday life and ministry. I will say no more. Talking always gets one in trouble on this issue. Better just keep acting instead of talking.
Romans . . . Still
Of the 45 sermons that I preached at Bethlehem this year, 29 carried us through Romans 8 into Romans 9. These are the high places of the New Testament - if one can distinguish peaks in the mountains of God. I thank you all for your prayer. I have felt helped week after week. Don't stop. It is my joy to lean on God with you under his word.
Ministry Beyond Bethlehem
Besides speaking at Bethlehem there were other engagements including:
- Perspectives, in Eden Prairie, MN (January 15, 2002)
- FIEC, in Pwllheil, UK (April 2-3, 2002)
- Biola University, in La Mirada, CA (April 22-24, 2002)
- Wheaton Commencement, in Wheaton, IL (May 11-12, 2002)
- EBM Midwest Missions Forum, in Indianapolis, IN (May 20-21, 2002)
- Wycliffe International Conference, in Waxhaw, NC (June 4-6, 2002)
- SBC Conference Annual Luncheon, in St. Louis, MO (June 10, 2002)
- Alive Festival, in Canal Fulton, OH (June 20)

- Talitha is a happy and fast-reading first-grader. On December 16 during family devotions I pointed to our map on the wall and said that Jesus wants us to take the good news of his dying for our sins to all the world. I said to Talitha, maybe you will do that someday. Maybe you will be a missionary. Talitha said, "I want to. I want to do that some day." So we prayed that God would make it come true.
- Abraham's email of October 4, which began with the words, "I am saved," was the sweetest music I heard all year - maybe in my life. All our children need prayer - just like we do. Please don't let up for any of us.
- Barnabas is a sophomore at Wheaton and loving it. He helps lead worship at his church there and plans to stay through the summer to work as a youth intern at Grace Church of DuPage. He is a Bible major and prays toward some kind of ministry.
- Benjamin and Melissa bought a house in Phillips Neighborhood and are entering [don't think it's official yet] the Nurture Program for missionary candidates at BBC. They plan on being here for some years, and then going out as career missionaries from the church. Ben started Piper Construction Company in the meantime for building and remodeling.

I love being at Bethlehem at 22.5 years. I cannot imagine not finishing here, but God plans these things finally, not me. May God keep us on fire for his supremacy in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ.

A long-term Scorsese collaborator conceded the collapse of film was "impossible to fight".
I'm sure there was a day when people were having this discussion on which filmmakers were least likely to shoot in color... or with sound. Not to say this is totally analogous.
Five years ago, 90% of Hollywood probably wasn't too interested in 4k+ digital acquisition. The times are changin'...
Spielberg. The day he shoots live-action digital will pretty much be the real end of film as we know it.

Take it straight from the world's fastest omelet maker: Use water with the eggs, a large-enough pan, correct heat and good egg-cooking technique.
That's the advice from Howard Helmer, senior representative for the American Egg Board, based in Park Ridge, Illinois. He holds the Guinness World Record for fastest omelet maker (427 two-egg omelets in 30 minutes). Here's what Howard recommends:
Prep eggs For each omelet, whisk together 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons water and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional). In a preheated, 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 teaspoon butter or cooking oil until it sizzles, tipping pan to coat. Pour egg mixture into pan.Cook quickly When egg edges bubble and set, use a spatula to pull cooked egg from the outside of the pan to the center while tilting pan so the uncooked egg reaches exposed pan surface. Keep entire bottom of pan covered with egg until there is no more runny egg. The egg should still be moist on top. Cooking takes 20-30 seconds.Fill and fold Add your choice of chopped or shredded filling to half of the omelet. Then slide spatula under unfilled side of omelet and fold it over filled side. Holding pan in right hand and serving plate in left, flip omelet onto the serving plate.
For more egg ideas, see our slide show on Beautiful Fresh Egg Recipes.

York City's Scott Kerr predicts 'hiding'
12:00pm Friday 19th October 2012 in Sport By Dave Flett, Sports reporter
YORK City midfielder Scott Kerr is predicting a "hiding" for an opposition team at Bootham Crescent, ahead of tomorrow's home clash with eighth-bottom Dagenham & Redbridge.
The Minstermen have equalled a club record by failing to net in each of the last four matches on their own soil but Kerr reckons an emphatic home win might lie just around the corner.
City have only won one of their seven home fixtures this term, beating Oxford 3-1 when Michael Coulson opened the scoring after just 16 seconds and Kerr believes making an early breakthrough might just provide the key to a goal avalanche for the hosts.
While also taking encouragement from Saturday's 1-1 draw at his former club Bradford, Kerr said: "No disrespect to Dagenham but they're not a Bradford City, so we need to come out of the traps straight away against them and I think there's a hiding coming for a team if we can get that early goal.
"If we'd done that against Coventry last week, I think we would have gone on and won the game instead of losing because, if we get an early goal, I think we can go on to get three or four. You saw what can happen with England against San Marino when that first goal went in.
"They had struggled for 34 minutes but they got the goal and, suddenly, the game opens up. Dagenham will be the same.
"They will try and stop us but we've just got to keep playing like we did at Bradford and we'll get the win."
Kerr completed his first full match at Valley Parade after seven months sidelined following his cruciate knee ligament injury at Luton.
He had previously lasted 74 minutes in the 4-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Coventry, having made his comeback as a second-half substitute during the goalless draw with Rotherham on the back of just one reserve outing.
On his improving fitness levels, the Leeds-born 30-year-old said: "After 70 minutes at Bradford, I felt a bit tired but then I felt strong again and got a second wind. I've been out for seven months and then played three games in a week so it will be hard to get my fitness back but it will come.
"I felt good towards the end on Saturday and the more 90 minutes I get the better I will feel."

DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY about the Rewilding Europe movement. For most of the past several millennia, Flevoland, a province which sits more or less at the center of the Netherlands, lay at the bottom of an inlet of the North Sea. A massive drainage project in the nineteen-fifties allowed Flevoland to emerge out of the muck of the former seafloor. Now, Flevoland is home to the Oostvaardersplassen, a wilderness that was also constructed, Genesis-like, from the mud. The reserve occupies fifteen thousand almost perfectly flat acres, and biologists have stocked it with the sorts of animals that would have inhabited the region in prehistoric times, had it not at that point been underwater. In many cases, the animals had been exterminated, so they had to settle for the next best thing; for example, in place of the aurochs, a large and now extinct bovine, they brought in Heck cattle, a variety specially bred by Nazi scientists. The cattle grazed and multiplied, along with red deer, horses, foxes, geese, egrets, and other animals. With a certain amount of squinting, the herds of large mammals could be said to resemble the great migratory herds of Africa. Visitors now pay up to forty-five dollars each to take safari-like tours of the park. Such is the success of the Dutch experiment that it has inspired a new movement. Dubbed Rewilding Europe, the movement takes the old notion of wilderness and turns it inside out. Perhaps it's true that genuine wilderness can only be destroyed, but new "wilderness," what the Dutch call "new nature," can be created. Every year, tens of thousands of acres of economically marginal farmland in Europe are taken out of production. Why not use this land to produce "new nature" to replace what's been lost? Writer visits the Oostvaardersplassen to learn more about rewilding, and tours the preserve with Frans Vera, one of the biologists who argued for its creation. Mentions some of the surprising ways in which the animals have behaved since settling there, and discusses the concerns raised by animal-welfare activists, who have objected to the widespread starvation that has occurs in the preserve, and which provides gruesome images for Dutch TV. (Often the dying animals are shown huddled up against the fences of the Oostvaardersplassen, a scene that inevitably leads to comparisons with the Holocaust.) Describes the efforts to "back-breed" today's cows, creating a new animal that approximates, in its physical characteristics, the now-extinct aurochs. Describes the origins of the idea of rewilding in a paper written by Michael Soulé and Reed Noss, two American professors, and the ways in which Europeans have adopted and changed the meaning of the term. (Among other things, the idea of rewilding has become more gastronomically appealing: it is expected that visitors to the continent's rewilded regions will be able to enjoy not just the safari-like tours but also the local cuisine.) Writer visits a rewilded preserve in Spain, the Campanarios de Azaba, where she encounters vultures.

Gray signs White (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

Gray signs White
9:00am Saturday 31st August 2013 in Sport By Craig Stoddart, Deputy Sports Editor
Darlington have brought Alan White back to the club for his third spell with Quakers.
He has joined from Harrogate Town, for whom he was a regular last season but has not started a match this season having sustained an ankle injury in pre-season.
With Darlington short of centre-backs due to Gary Brown's injury, manager Martin Gray has moved to sign the 37-year-old who has agreed dual-terms, enabling him to play for both Quakers and Harrogate.
He had two years with his hometown club after signing in 2007 and returned on loan during 2009-10 in Steve Staunton's ill-fated reign.
Gray said: "I've needed to strengthen the defence, especially as Gary Brown is going to be out still for a few weeks.
"Alan has got loads of experience from several levels of the game. We've been crying out for an old hand like him to keep things steady at the back and talk to the other players.
"He's also a Darlo lad, he jumped at the chance to come back and play for us."
White played last night as Darlington defeated Northern League side Consett 4-0 in a friendly played at Durham City.
Andy Johnson (2) and Amar Purewal (2) scored for Quakers, whose next league game is on September 7 at Clitheroe.

Back around 1991, a friend and I decided this song was about a drug-dealing pornographer from a parallel universe, which also has a Leatherhead. We were fueled on Philip K Dick, Williams S. Burroughs, Hellblazer comic books, David Lynch, and living in a backwards, creepy Southern Gothic town in which our Clean Steve would be a natural inhabitant.
Whatever Hitchcock was actually going on about will forever be irrelevant to the character we thought he was sketching back then.

"Ibee was one of the most talented players to come through the U.S. Under-17 and 20 teams," said Thomas Rongen, the current youth academy director at Toronto, who was coach of the Under -20 U.S. national team at the time.
"But [he] was not able to make the step to the highest level. [Ibee] signed as one of the youngest players in the history of MLS, only Freddy Adu was younger. Technically very sound ... but [he] was not able to adapt to the professional game at the highest level."
The next big thing?
What went wrong?
"I'll be honest, I didn't have any injury when I was at Toronto and I'm not someone to blame other people for things in the past," explained Ibee.
"I was doing good but as time goes, growing up with so many coaches -- Toronto FC has had eight coaches in five years -- it effected my playing time.
"When a new coach came in I'd get a rhythm, they'd get fired and then a new one came in. All of a sudden you have to rebuild trust. It kind of kept happening."
After Toronto Ibee tried to get his big break in Europe, but that did not work out either.
"I was here and there in Austria and Denmark. I didn't find a place where I really fitted in. It didn't go the way I wanted. But this is life. You have to live with it and learn."
Then came the call from Ethiopia.
"The weather was very difficult especially coming from the cold and suddenly I'm in high altitude," he said of his arrival in Adidis Ababa, whichat 2,355 meters above sea level is the fifth highest capital city in the world.
"It was tough in the first week. But I've got used to it. It was time to play for my country, the country I was born in."
Young Americans
Ibee is not the only American soccer player that has made the move to a different national team.
During qualification for the 2014 World Cup, national teams from Haiti, Palestine and Afghanistan, among others, have scoured U.S. soccer's talent network looking for second and third generation immigrants to bolster their teams.
"There are a growing number of Americans playing for other national teams but it's almost a second choice," said Brian Sciaretta, a New York Times blogger, who runs Yanks Abroad, a website detailing the foreign adventures of American soccer players.
He has seen a huge number of players coming through the U.S. system before turning up in the most unlikely of places from Ethiopia to Tajikistan. As many as 400 play in Europe alone.
"There's so many different ethnically diverse people in the States. Soccer is new but we've always been athletic people. We have state-of-the-art fitness and dieting. It's quite attractive to foreign coaches," he said.
"If soccer can make it work in this country it could have revolutionary effect on global football."
Now Ibee has the chance to put his career back on track. Currently a free agent, a good Africa Cup of Nations could secure him a contract back in the U.S. or even in Europe.
First there is the task of negotiating a tough group containing reigning champions Zambia, former champions Nigeria and Burkina Faso.
"Technically they are very, very talented," Ibee said of his teammates.
Although he cannot speak Amharic, he communicates with Bisaw in English. "They have a different style of playing. They can shock anybody. No one thought Zambia would win the Africa Cup of Nations last year but they shocked everybody."

True life did not quite work out as expected for Fuad Ibrahim. But sometimes that is not necessarily a bad thing.

The Maryville Spoofhounds hosted Cameron for the homecoming football game on Friday, and fans were not disappointed.
In just over a minute, the Hounds scored on a 52-yard run by Payden Dawson.
Roughly four minutes later, Brody McMahon added another to make the score 16-0 halfway through the first quarter.
Maryville then gave up the first touchdown for Cameron, but answered right back just over two minutes later on a rushing score by Trent Dredge that put the Hounds ahead 30-6 just before the half ended.
McMahon got his second touchdown on a 28-yard run, putting Maryville up 36-6 early in the third quarter.
Cameron ate up quite a bit of the clock before scoring again to make the score 36-12.
Dakota Beemer put up the final touchdown of the game on a 36-yard run, and following the two-point conversion, the Hounds were up 44-12.
Maryville scored those 44 points while having the ball for just 11 minutes of the game.
They put up 492 yards of total offense, and 438 of those came on the ground.
McMahon was the leading rusher with 149, followed by Dawson with 119, Dredge with 60, Trent Nally with 53 and Beemer with 44.
Nally only threw seven passes in the game, completing three of them for 38 yards.
The Hounds did rack up 12 penalties for 90 yards, but only allowed Cameron to convert 20 percent of their third-down attempts.
Defensively, the Hounds were solid as usual.
Tyler Coleman led the team with seven tackles (four solo). Chris Dougan, Dawson, John Schenkel, Dane Hull, Chip Dunlap, Adam Thompson, Jonathan Snook, Dalton Pistole, Brendan Weybrew, Beemer, Jacob Cacek, Jackson Morrison, Nate Colwell, Isaac Bledsoe, Elijah Green and Kade Allenbrand all added to the defensive effort.
The Hounds will head to St. Joseph this weekend to face Benton.
