The owner of a Fairfield pizza shop filed a suit in federal court last month, alleging local police and municipal officials have conspired to harass him and his customers, interfere with his business and violate his civil rights.
Robert J. Gach Jr., owner of Ventura's Restaurant & Pizzeria in Fairfield, filed a civil suit Aug. 9 in the U.S. Middle District Court of Pennsylvania against Carroll Valley and Fairfield boroughs, their respective mayors Ron Harris and Robert Stanley, and against Carroll Valley Police Chief Richard Hileman II.
Gach alleges three counts, which include violation of civil rights, conspiracy, and neglect to prevent conspiracy.
According to the suit, Gach said the Carroll Valley Police Department, which covers Fairfield as part of its jurisdiction, has repeatedly harassed him, and infringed on his ability to do business. One incident he pointed to occurred in June 2011, when Gach was going to host a concert in the backyard of his neighbor, Jim Harbaugh, as part of the Bike Week celebration.
Gach alleges Chief Hileman told Harbaugh he would be arrested if the concert were held, though a similar concert during another festival the same year was permitted at another establishment. This caused Gach a loss of revenue, according to the suit.
Over the past year, Gach said the police have ticketed delivery vehicles whether they were parked legally or not. They also conducted DUI stops outside of the restaurant, pulling over customers without cause in an attempt to hassle them, and interfere with Gach's ability to conduct business, according to the suit.
Additionally, after having an attorney send a letter about the alleged harassment to both municipalities, Gach claims that Chief Hileman told him "to watch his back."
Gach also owns several apartments, and said he risks losing tenants there because of harassment from the police.
Gach said "the excessive and unreasonable police and official conduct" violated his civil rights, causing a loss of profit and a stigma attached to his business. He is seeking an injunction from the court against the defendants, and is also seeking both compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorney's fees.
The amount of damages was not clear in the suit, and Gach's attorney, Joseph Korsak, could not be reached for comment.
Mayor Harris said he could not comment on the pending litigation. Mayor Stanley and Chief Hileman could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III is presiding over the case.

Two years of hard work and determination have paid off for a local teen. Christopher Strongeagle is the perfect example of what great talent comes out of small towns.
From White Bear, Christopher has only been playing football for two years.
"I actually play a lot of other sports, like volleyball and basketball," he explained. "I just wanted to try something new for fun. I never thought it would go this far."
And far doesn't even begin to explain the accomplishment this 17 –year-old has made. It was recently announced that he would be playing for the Regina Rams next year, and was invited to play at this year's Senior Bowl without even having to go through the training camp selection process.
The Senior Bowl showcases the best high school football players from across the province. Each year at the end of March selection camp is held in Regina and Saskatoon where over 150 athletes attend and display their abilities. The one-day camps consist of a morning session filled with tests to determine their abilities, including a 40 yard time, 20 yard time, vertical jump, shuttle run, standing broad jump and bench press. The afternoons consist of position specific skill tests and drills.
Forty-five players are selected for the game from the south, 45 from the north.
The 28th annual game will be held May 21 In Saskatoon.
As for his University career, Christopher will have to keep his grades up in order to remain on the team, and he will have to be ok with sitting out a lot of the games, treating the first year as a learning experience.
The Rams had been in contact with him since his first year playing football for the bantam team in Estevan.
Christopher attends school in White Bear, but played his seasons with the Estevan Comprehensive Elecs, and the Estevan Bantam Steelers.
"He tried hard. When he chose football as another sport to play, his mother and I had to look into It.," said his father Rory StrongEagle.
"The closest team was in Estevan, and included one of us driving him back and forth up to six times a week before he got his license."
Only 10 recruits from the whole province make the team right out of high school and most of them have been playing football their whole lives.
He will joining former Elecs team mate Zach Rensby who will be playing his 2nd year with the Rams next year.
He was accepted to the First Nations University of Canada's Faculty of Arts for the Fall.
"Going into Fine Arts first year, then I want to find out about Kinesiology," explained the modest young man.
As for dealing with the stress and expectations his new coach and team will bring, Chris wasn't too worried.
"I try not to think about it too much, I just go and play. I like to have fun," he concluded.

The Only Way Is Essex star Jessica Wright has caused a stir on Twitter by saying that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, who died this weekend at the age of 69, should "rest in peace".
The reality TV star made the gaffe after expressing surprise that an appearance on Sky's Sunrise breakfast show had been scrapped to make room for coverage of the communist leader's passing.
"Interview on sky sunrise cancelled because Kim Jong died," she wrote. "Anyway back home for me and James 'Arg' Argent then got a shoot later on!"
When a follower informed her that her condolences may be considered inappropriate, Wright admitted: "Sorry I wasn't sure who [he was]."
However, her revelation failed to prevent a more fiery backlash, with one user calling her "disrespectful" for prioritising her cancelled interview over the world-changing event, and another declaring: "You dont even know who he is you idiot!! More like burn in hell!! Google him bimbo. (sic)"
After asking why people had begun to retweet her message when she "obviously didn't know who he was", Wright attempted to conclude the incident by writing: "God sorry guys I got it wrong ! Mistake!"
Kim Jong-il died of heart failure while riding on a train on Saturday (December 17). He has ruled North Korea since the death of his father in 1994.
I hope the funeral is EVENT TELEVISION.
I love the fact that most of our generation know him as a PUPPET .
Oh and I'd love to mock the people of North Korea for their PUBLIC MOURNING. But then they look positively SANE when compared to the street of London one week in late summer 1997...
Whoever did the "i told you i was il" tag, my hat goes off to you
Top up, Sue?
That joke has been ALL OVER my facebook today.
I also like, "guess that's his Korea over" and the fact that the "Kim-Jong-Il looking at things" tumblr has already moved on to Kim-Jong-Un.

"Very quiet and breezy place"
We really liked to be in a tranquil resort,but still very close to all beaches and hotels(by car 5 minutes)Ventana der mar restaurant serves good food and is very nice and relaxing to seat outside.We want to go back there in January to Anabui 4 apartment.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Luxurious golf resort away from the crowds"
We booked a two-week family (incl. a 12 and 16 year old) vacation at the resort. This was our first time to Aruba. Typically, we choose small condominium resorts that are out of the way of the big crowds, with a broad suite of amenities, including having access to, but not being on the beach. The Tierra del Sol resort exceeded all our expectations. […] Situated near the California light house, the resort is perched in the rolling hills, about one km from the beach and, and away from the Palm beach high/low rise hotel area. Largely composed of condo's and villas, with its own golf course, the resort offers sports facilities, massage, yoga, a beautiful swimming pool, restaurant, gorgeous grounds and stunning views in all directions, including the coastal areas. The condo's are well laid out, with fully equipped kitchens and multiple patios. Aside from the organized activities like safaris and snorkeling, our typical days included workouts, runs or golf, a half day at the pool and a few hours at Eagle beach (a 5 min drive). This gave us the option to be among the beach-going crowds when we wanted to, and relax in tranquility at the resort. Perfect! I would highly recommend that you rent a car when you decide to stay here. They do have pickup from the airport, and one can get taxi's for shopping, etc..., but we like flexibility. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, with immediate help when we needed it. This resort is about personal attention and service. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Ready to go back."
I have been to Aruba many times using my Time Share. This year my husband and I took my daughters and grand kids (7 total) . We rented a 3 bedroom with pool. This was a wonderful experience. There was plenty of space so we did not feel cramped. My grandkids loved having "their own pool". Everyone from the front check-in to the daily house keeping staff […] were great. The villa experience was truly a new treat worth doing again. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Very beautiful and clean place"
The staff was very wonderful. Its a very quiet and peaceful. Very venture out during the day and night, and came home to peace and quiet. Every time someone asked where we were staying and we mentioned Tierra Del sol, everyone was so amazed that we were staying there.. I must say, anytime I go to Aruba, I am not staying any place else.. Tierra Del Sol […] for life..lol 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Best stay ever!!!!!"
I don't even know where to begin. First off, when this hotel came up on Expedia and I saw they had private villas with private pools I was intrigued. Call me a snob but I didn't want to be in a crowded hotel so I checked reviews for this place and all were great so I went ahead and booked a two bedroom villa with a pool. Check in said 4pm on the site […] but we arrived around 1:30 and were greeted by the friendliest staff ever. Within two minutes of stepping into the lobby they not only welcomed us but also brought out fresh glasses of punch to stay cool. And to further surprise us, within 5 minutes we found out that we did not have to wait until 4 and were given our keys and escorted to our villa. The staff member who showed us to our place than gave us a tour of the villa and made sure we knew where everything was and told us to call them any time with any questions or issues. Our pool was great and the grounds were amazing. During the week stay we found the maid service either had us well timed or was just lucky and always seemed to arrive while we were out and about. We ended up coming back to our villa each day to find it very clean. This was definitely our home away from home for the week. Relaxing peaceful and 10 minutes from the high rise hotels if you want to venture there for casinos and dinner. I can not say enough good things here. Book here and you will have a great stay. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"The Best in Aruba"
Beautiful Place, secluded from the main strip so all you can hear are the birds chirping and the nice cool breeze ruffling the palm trees. I vacationed there with my family of 4 and stayed in a 3 bedroom villa- it was amazing. Definitely beats staying in a conventional hotel room, if it's in your budget Tierra del Sol is the place to be in Aruba!!Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great choice for a family."
For the family that wants a self-contained living space (complete with pool in our case) and is willing to rent a car and travel a short distance to the beach, these villas are outstanding. Aruba is a very navigable, safe island - and the convenience of having a rental car makes this place a great family destination.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
Great, one of the bedrooms has a window without curtain and the sun is comming in thru that window early in the morning. But overall a great place to stay if you cab affort it.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Tierra del Sol Resort- a relaxing treat"
I just returned from Aruba and stayed at the Tierra del Sol Resort, Spa & Country Club with two of my girlfriends. The resort was very nice and surronded by a very relaxing environment. We rented a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath that was very spacious and gave us room to spread out. Giovanni is a concerciege at the resort and he was the ABSOLUTE BEST to work […] with. He was very friendly, helpful and ensured that we had good service during our stay. The resort is very spread out, so most ppl rent cars to get around and to get to the main hotel area, which is about 10 minutes away. We decided to cab. It was very easy to get a cab to and from. I would definitely recommend the resort if you are looking for more space than a traditional hotel room. It was a relaxing oasis that was a home away from home. It was also very easy to get to the shopping, dining and nightlife on the island from this resort. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
Excelente apartamento, bien equipado, camas y almohadas bien, televisores pequeños, el WIFI estaba malo y lo arreglaron el último día. Precioso entorno, lástima que queda lejos de la playa. Lo recomendaría siempre que se alquile carro para facilidad de traslado a Palm Beach, tiendas, supermarket, restaurantes y playas.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Stilig og rolig"
Tierra del Sol ligger ikke langt fra Palm Beach, men utgjør en helt annen verden enn det støyende og folkerike mylderet ved de store hotellene langs stranden. Vi våknet til fuglekvitter og hadde utsikt mot golfbanen. Beplantningen er utsøkt med overdådig blomsterprakt. Det felles svømmebassenget er arkitektonisk vakkert og svært godt vedlikeholdt. Behagelige […] liggestoler, effektiv barservice og en tilhørende restaurant med god mat kompletterer pakken for dem som ønsker seg fred og ro. Vi brukte ikke golfbanen, men kan anbefale de to tennisbanene, gratis for gjester og noenlunde skjermet fra den alltid tilstedeværende østavinden. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

Belkin, a private company based in Playa Vista, Calif., with operations and sales in more than 100 countries, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Cisco's Home Networking Business Unit, including its proven products, technology, well-known Linksys brand and talented employees. With global operations, Linksys' main office is located in Irvine, Calif. "We're very excited about this announcement," said Chet Pipkin, CEO of Belkin. "Our two organizations share many core beliefs - we have similar beginnings and share a passion for meeting the real needs of our customers through the strengths of an entrepreneurial culture. Belkin's ultimate goal is to be the global leader in the connected home and wireless networking space and this acquisition is an important step to realizing that vision." Belkin intends to maintain the Linksys brand and will offer support for Linksys products as part of this transaction. All valid warranties will be honored by Belkin for current and future Linksys products. After the transaction closes, Belkin will account for approximately 30 percent of the U.S. retail home and small business networking market. "Linksys pioneered wireless connectivity capability around the globe, and has a strong brand renowned for its premium market position, the strength of its installed base and its proven dependability. Linksys users benefit from peace of mind in their home networking environment. At Belkin we have developed great insight into consumer needs, and the experiences, solutions and products we bring to the market, including our WeMo home automation platform, will help us to grow Linksys' market presence," Pipkin said. "Linksys is one of the leading home networking providers and has created a market-leading suite of products and services to meet customer needs," said Hilton Romanski, VP Corporate Business Development, Cisco. "While part of Cisco, Linksys has continuously innovated, while strengthening the brand and expanding its market leadership. As part of Cisco's commitment to service providers, we are pleased about this strategic relationship with Belkin to build on Linksys' position of strength." "With complementary innovation and engineering strategies in the combined organization, Belkin will be able to create new opportunities for consumers, distribution partners and resellers, and will have the strongest retail presence in the U.S. networking marketplace. Belkin also will have access to a large installed base that will be able to upgrade their networking environment to take advantage of new technologies in the smartphone, tablet, notebook and home automation arenas," Pipkin said. "Additionally, Linksys will enhance Belkin's capabilities to meet the needs of the service provider space and small business users." Belkin and Cisco intend to develop a strategic relationship on a variety of initiatives including retail distribution, strategic marketing and products for the service provider market. Having access to Cisco's specialized software solutions across all of Belkin's product lines will bring a more seamless user experience for customers. Merging the innovation capabilities of Linksys and Belkin provides a powerful platform from which to develop the next generation of home networking technology. "At Belkin, we're committed to enabling great experiences for users of today's mobile and connected home technologies," Pipkin said. "The acquisition of Linksys and the combination of Belkin's and Linksys' expertise and innovation will position us to meet the demands of today's rapidly evolving advances in technology. We look forward to honoring the heritage of the Linksys brand and investing in the continuing evolution of its product portfolio. Together, we will provide a powerful, simple to use, and reliable wireless and networking platform for the markets we serve." Specific financial terms of the transaction are undisclosed. The transaction is subject to various standard closing conditions and is expected to close in March 2013.
Their stuff really that bad ? .. Shame, only had cables of them and that was some time ago and they were top notch then.
Well, in my country Belkin products are from low to mediocre,no premium(in terms of quality), so like cdawall say, it will ruin ...
I don't see how it is going to be possible. Linksys products were terrible at best and service is one the worst I have encountered so far. I hope this takeover improves the quality of service for Linksys products.
I swear by my WRT54GL with Tomato firmware. It would be better if Asus acquired them, because in my only experience with an Asus router (the one that can run Tomato) it was so terrible/broken it had to be returned to the store and replaced with a proper WRT54GL. As for Belkin, in my book, it has the image of a overpriced producer of cheap cables and peripherals. p.s. I know that the WRT54GL was the last router produce by the original Linksys company before the Cisco acquisition, but is was hopping of a revamp in Cisco's custody or someone that at least has some tangency with the router business.
I have no experience with them as of late, but most people say Cisco did that already. Here's hoping Belkin wants to improve their image and makes something good from it.
Linksys hardware wasn't that bad, it was the firmware that was absolute shit(and most of that can be blamed on Cisco dumbing the firmware down so as not to compete with their low-end corporate products). Every linksys product I've run with a custom 3rd party firmware has been fantastic(My E3000 running tomato is the best router I've ever used). Every one I've run with the stock firmware has been a headache. The best thing Belkin could possible do is acquire the hardware, keep producing that, but put DD-WRT on every router they ship instead of the shit firmware Cisco uses.
Linksys was very good pre-Cisco. OTOH, Belkin had the worst routers I ever had the displeasure of using. Linksys may already have been ruined by the Cisco acquisition, but trust me Belkin can still make things a LOT worse.
Agreed. Belkin's devices are fundamentally flawed for a number of reasons, number one being unable to maintain a live connection after your PC generates only a few thousands of UDP packets (think DHT from torrents). If a router cannot sustain something even as mundane as this, it's not worthy to be released onto the market. Belkin is the WORST company to be paired up with. Linksys has been going down the drain lately, and this take-over will put the last nail in their coffin.
Yea i agree with others Belkin are crap over here in AUS also, modem, routers, whatever it is (besides there cables) i found are crap, over priced and just terrible to work with (long range my ass) Cisco here has had a good name for its self so yes this is not a good thing for Cisco. Personally i use Billion modem routers and or TP-Link/netgear havent had any issues with these brands. Also not a fan of D-Link
I completely agree with this 100%. It was always amazing that certain versions of older Linksys firmware worked WAY better than the newer versions. Some of them were rock solid. I ran 1.44.2 on a BEFSR41 (Version 1) for years (7?) until my roommate's dog killed it by pissing on it, but that's another story.
Had WRT54GL and it was an epic router with Tomato firmware. Today, i have the E4200 and it's yet again amazing with TomatoRAF firmware. Never really liked Belkin. They make good power surge protections but i have very little confidence in their routers...
Right now I use an 8-port ethernet router (Linksys) with a Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 ethernet Cable Modem. What is out there that will allow me to add on a wireless router capabilitiy in addition to my system, that works good? So far with what I have, I have no complaints, it works great. I just want to add wireless too. At any given time I have 3 pcs running and sometimes a Sony Playstation 3. However when family drops by I'd like them to be able to use their laptops via wireless here. I was looking at a Linksys EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC Router with Gigabit and 2x USB to add to the system. Would this work? I dunno...I am reading some piss poor reviews on that router? Any input? Or would I be better off just dumping my 8-port ethernet router and going straight to wireless with something like a ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router, DD-WRT Open Source support, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab?
I've had 3 Linksys routers, one after Cisco got ahold of it and I've been happy with all of them and they've all lasted a long life and have supported DD-WRT except for one which got many years of use out of it before it went kaput (I got it second hand anyways). My E4200 has been working great, I haven't had to give it a second thought since I bought it. The only thing that doesn't work right is router config through HTTPS which I don't need anyways because it's not like I'm opening it to external traffic, so thats a non-issue for me. So what Cisco/Linksys routers have you owned and what have your problems been because that hasn't been my experience. The stock firmware doesn't bother me too much. It is dumbed down a bit but not enough to prevent me from doing anything I need to do with it. If 5ghz wasn't a little finicky on DD-WRT I would be more apt to consider it but I don't need it per say. That's my experience, but we must wrong since everyone else who doesn't seem to claim to have a Linksys/Cisco router says they're bad. It's really pretty sad this is the kind of reception Linksys gets now because the E4200 is the best router I've used thus far. Heck, I got a new Linksys/Cisco router for my parents for Christmas to replace their aging WRT54G and their downstream increased by 10Mbit just by swapping out the routers. They haven't had a single issue with it and neither of us have have had to intervene since it was first plugged in. I don't call that bad service.
People need to know the difference between junk software and junk hardware. Stock firmware on nearly all routers is GARBAGE. Some are definitely much worse than others (like the old linksys and any 2wire crap - both great for crashing). The hardware is solid on the cisco/linksys stuff as others have stated. I run the shit out of mine. Hell, I buy TP-link, etc, for cheap dd-wrt/tomato routers. I pretty much exclusively use these two brands for myself and others with no issue.

Who generally killed me, because they had comparable stats and better gear. Other chars did better, for various reasons.
So, I really enjoy the end of the trailer- I wonder if the music is going to be more operatic (or at least more vocal) this time around? Checking out the Oblivion Trailer, I also note that their trailers have gotten a lot better in 4 years. The Morrowind Trailer, while I love the theme music, isn't that good either.
And at least those trailers showed gameplay
I can't wait till February!

Accelerated B.A./Master's Degree Program: Application Process
Students participating in the program begin taking graduate level courses during their senior year. These graduate courses provide academic credit toward completion of the bachelor's degree and fulfill some of the course requirements of the graduate degree. Eligible students are admitted into the graduate program of their choice upon receipt of the B.A. degree, and typically, in a fifth year of study complete the course requirements for the master's degree.
Application Forms
Download the application for the program you are interested in.
First or Second Year Undergraduate:
First year: Discuss this with the undergraduate faculty advisor and read through the website. Sophomore Year: Contact the Accelerated B.A./Master's Degree Program advisor.
Junior Year:
Students must complete the Application to the Accelerated B.A./Master's Degree: Part 1 and return it to ACADEMIC ADVISING, Dana Commons, first floor by April 1 of the junior year (November 1 for those who are out of sequence). The application form is available on-line at www.clarku.edu/graduate.
This application is necessary to retain eligibility for tuition scholarship, but does not commit a student to completing the master's program.
While a student can submit the form while studying abroad, he/she must receive advising from the graduate program he/she plans to apply to and have the form signed by the program advisor in order to have the application accepted by the Academic Advising Office.
Senior Year
Students must formally apply to the graduate program indicated on the Application to the Accelerated B.A./Master's Degree Program: Part 1. This includes the Application to the Accelerated B.A./Master's Degree Program: Part 2, letters of recommendation, and an unofficial transcript from Clark. See www.clarku.edu/graduate for application materials and deadline. NOTE: The deadline to apply formally to the MBA and MSF programs is April 15 of the junior year; most other programs have a deadline of October 15 of the senior year.
When do I hear about my application?
The Academic Advising Center determines eligibility for the Accelerated B.A./Master's Degree Program and will inform you by letter at the end of your junior year, and again at the end of your senior year, whether you have retained eligibility for the tuition scholarship. Acceptance into the graduate program is provisional until the end of the senior year and is determined by the Dean of Graduate Studies based on the recommendation of the master's program.
Students studying abroad are encouraged to complete their coursework requirements including submission of final paper to their Clark faculty sponsor as early as possible to avoid delays in receiving information about eligibility.

Lucy Liu Movies
Best known to television audiences as Ling Woo, the raging force of political incorrectness on
Ally McBeal
Lucy Alexis Liu
has managed to cross over to the big screen in such features as
Play It to the Bone
Born to Chinese parents in Jackson Heights, NY, on December 2, 1968,
grew up speaking both English and Mandarin. After graduating from Manhattan's Stuyvesant High School, she earned a degree in Asian languages and cultures from the University of Michigan, where she also studied acting, dance, and voice.
's first professional job was playing a waitress on
Beverly Hills 90210
, something that led to more substantial work on various TV shows, including a regular part on the TV series Pearl.
's biggest breakthrough came in 1998, when she was cast as Ling Woo on
Ally McBeal
. She had originally auditioned for the role of Nelle Porter, which ultimately went to Australian actress
Portia DeRossi
David E. Kelley
, the show's producer, was so impressed with
's audition, however, that he created the role of Ling Woo specifically for her. The character was initially supposed to be included on only a few episodes but proved so popular with the show's audience that
was made into a regular cast member.
Unsurprisingly, the actress' increased exposure led to greater opportunities on the screen and after playing supporting roles in such films as
(both 1999), she moved on to more substantial work in
Play It to the Bone
and the
Jackie Chan
martial-arts period comedy
Shanghai Noon
, which cast her as a princess who has been kidnapped from her emperor father. In 2000, she also was cast in perhaps her most high-profile role to date, when she was chosen alongside
Drew Barrymore
Cameron Diaz
as one of the titular crime fighters in
Charlie's Angels: The Movie
With the exception of a small role as an inmate in the Oscar-winning film
, 2002 brought little recognition for
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
, and
Party Monster
with former
Home Alone
Macaulay Culkin
went virtually unseen by the general public. 2003's
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
firmly back inside the spotlight, though she was somewhat overshadowed by the toothy blonde glint that is
Cameron Diaz
. Luckily for
, she was given the chance to shine quite independently when
Quentin Tarantino
cast her as the deadly O-Ren Ishii, AKA Cottonmouth, in
Kill Bill Vol. 1
(2003). Unfortunately roles in subsequent action films like Domino and Lucky Number Slevin failed to capitolize on that momentary career momentum, though a voice role as Viper in Kung Fu Panda (as well as the sequel and subsequent television series) found her continuing to kick butt in virtual form. Meanwhile, on the small screen, Liu donned a badge for a recurring role on the TNT cop series Southland. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Add Detachment to Queue
An educator and the school where he works are both on the verge of collapse in this hard-hitting drama from director Tony Kaye. Henry Barthes (Adrien Brody) is a gifted teacher whose psyche has been taking a beating -- he still bears emotional scars from his mother's drunken tirades while he was a child, and he's been forced to look after his grandfather (Louis Zorich) as he dies a slow, painful death. Henry has become a substitute teacher rather than fully commit himself to his students, but his latest assignment takes him to a high school where the building is in sad shape and the staff are faring no better. The principal, Carol Dearden (Marcia Gay Harden), is dealing with an unsupportive school board and a hostile husband (Bryan Cranston), Mr. Wiatt (Tim Blake Nelson) is being driven to the edge of a nervous breakdown, Mr. Seaboldt (James Caan) is too cynical to care about his work anymore, and guidance counselor Dr. Parker (Lucy Liu) spends more time insulting the students than helping them. As Barthes struggles to find a reason to continue, two troubled kids break through his wall of ennui -- Meredith (Betty Kaye), an overweight student who is a target for bullies among the students and staff, and Erica (Sami Gayle), a 15-year-old who has sex for money and is used as a punching bag by those around her. Detachment received its world premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A clumsy panda bear becomes an unlikely kung fu hero when a treacherous enemy spreads chaos throughout the countryside in this animated martial arts adventure featuring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and Jackie Chan. On the surface, Po (voice of Black) may look like just another portly panda bear, but beneath his fur he bears the mark of the chosen one. By day, Po works faithfully in his family's noodle shop, but by night he dreams of becoming a true master of the martial arts. Now an ancient prophecy has come to pass, and Po realizes that he is the only one who can save his people from certain destruction. With time running short and malevolent snow leopard Tai Lung (Ian McShane ) closing in, Furious Five legends Tigress (Jolie), Crane (David Cross ), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), Monkey (Chan), and their wise sensei, Master Shifu (Hoffman), all draw on their vast knowledge of fighting skills in order to transform a lumbering panda bear into a lethal fighting machine. Now, if the noble Po can master the martial arts and somehow transform his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths, he will fulfill his destiny as the hero who saved his people during their darkest hour. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Each fairy is gifted with a unique magical talent to contribute, but Tinker Bell (voiced by Mae Whitman) can't help but feel her talent ("tinkering") isn't as good as those of her fairy companions, and tries her best to change it. It takes a disaster and a lot of help from her friends to realize the magic of being true to oneself. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

The super bad samurai who avenged his father and found a life of peace is pulled back into the game by a deadly beauty from his past as the cycle of vengeance continues in Afro Samurai: Resurrection. There was a time when Afro Samurai (voice of Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson) was quick to duel, but these days he prefers serenity to swordplay. Still, there are those who will never allow the retired master to live down his violent past, and when the hatred in Sio (Lucy Liu) grows too powerful to contain, she vows to teach Afro Samurai a painful lesson in humility. Mark Hamill and RZA lend their voices to director Fuminori Kizaki's bloody animated sequel. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Originally slated to premiere on November 27, 2007, then held back until December 4, the hour-long dramedy Cashmere Mafia finally made its ABC debut on January 6, 2008. The series focused on a quartet of highly successful female executives, friends since their days in business college, who continued to meet, compare notes, and advise and console one another in various expensive Manhattan restaurants and watering holes. Miranda Otto played the "anchor" of the group, Juliet Draper, the powerful COO of the Stanton Hall hotel chain, who wryly observed the passing scene, dispensed sage wisdom, and merrily dissed most of the males who crossed her path--with the occasional exception of her husband Davis (Peter Hermann). Lucy Liu costarred as Mia Mason, high-powered functionary at Barnstead Media, a publishing firm run by a Murdoch clone; Mia was so ambitious that she was even willing to sacrifice her love life for her career, maneuvering her own fiancee out of the job she finally grabbed for herself. Frances O'Connor played Zoe Burden, senior marketing VP for Lily Parish cosmetics, who after several dead-end heterosexual romances suddenly found herself attracted to another woman, Alicia Lawson (Lourdes Benedicto). And Bonnie Somerville appeared as Zoe Burden, managing director of mergers and acquisitions at the investment firm of Gorham Sutter, who encountered considerable difficulty juggling her career and her private life with her stay-at-home husband Eric (Julian Ovenden) and twin children Luke (Nicholas Reese Art) and Sasha (Peyton List). Also in the cast was Addison Timlin as Juliet and Davis' mildly rebellious 14-year-old daughter Emily. If Cashmere Mafia seemed to be an upscale variation of HBO's Sex and the City, it may have been because it was executive-produced by former Sex and the City producer Darren Star. The ABC series also bore a marked resemblance to Lipstick Jungle, a novel written by Starr's onetime Sex and the City partner Candace Bushnell; ironically, the TV-series version of Lipstick Jungle made its NBC bow some four weeks after Cashmere Mafia's inaugural episode. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1956 was a turbulent year in Hungary; an Eastern Bloc nation which came under the political control of the Soviet Union after suffering under Nazi domination during World War II, Hungary rose up against the U.S.S.R. in a revolutionary bid for independence that was shut down in less than two weeks when Soviet troops rolled into the country to crush the democratic uprising. Later that same year, with the memory of the violent reprisals of the Russian invasion clear in everyone's minds, the Soviets and the Hungarians met on another field of battle -- the water polo semifinals at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games. Determined not to buckle under to the Russians, the Hungarian team played an aggressive match that was described by many as the most violent water polo contest in Olympic history. Filmmaker Colin Keith Gray looks back at the events of this crucial year in Hungarian history with the documentary Freedom's Fury, which tells the stories of both the Hungarian revolution and the nation's water polo team in their bid to turn the tables on the Soviet Union, if only in Olympic competition. Olympic swimming legend Mark Spitz narrates the film; Lucy Liu and Quentin Tarantino served as executive producers on the project. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A film freak has his life turned upside down when he starts dating a real-life femme fatale in this comedy. Neil (Cillian Murphy) is a dyed-in-the-wool movie fan who runs a video store, "Gumshoe Video," specializing in classic film noir and offbeat cult items. Neil spends nearly every evening on the couch, soaking up classic movies from the blue glow of his television; Neil's lack of a social life has not been good for his relationships with women, and his latest girlfriend walked out on him after he declared he wanted her to be more like Katharine Ross in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. But then Neil meets Violet (Lucy Liu), a sexy and adventurous woman who is immediately taken with him. However, Neil soon decides Violet may be a bit
adventurous -- while he's content to get his excitement from watching movies, she would rather throw herself into thrilling situations rather than observe them from a distance, and her appetite for danger proves to be far more than he bargained for. Watching the Detectives was the first directorial effort from Paul Soter, who as a member of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe helped write the films Super Troopers and Beerfest. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Three stories, which offer differing perspectives on the AIDS pandemic, are featured in this anthology-drama. Sister Clara (Chloë Sevigny) is a young nun who is working with two, more experienced, missionaries (Olympia Dukakis and Sandra Oh) in a village along the African coast. Sister Clara finds herself struggling against ignorance and misinformation among the natives, but discovers she can only accomplish so much through traditional means and is forced to make a great personal sacrifice for the greater good. Denny (Shawn Ashmore) lives in Montreal and makes his living acting in pornographic movies -- a career he's kept hidden from his mother (Stockard Channing), who depends on Denny for financial support. Like most of his colleagues, Denny must present current HIV tests to producers in order to keep working. But unlike most of his fellow porn actors, Denny is actually carrying the AIDS virus, and presents fraudulent test paperwork in order to keep working. And Jin Ping (Lucy Liu) collects blood donations from villagers in mainland China, but while she claims that the blood will be used in government hospitals, Jin Ping is actually in cahoots with illegal private doctors, and she fails to use proper methods for safe blood collection. When Tong Sam (Tanabadee Chokpikultong) loses nearly all of his friends, family, and villagers to AIDS, he takes it upon himself to do something about Jin Ping and her reckless actions. Three Needles received its North American premier at the Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Payback: Straight Up
Seven years after seeing his original vision butchered under studio interference as well as his star's, director Brian Helgeland finally was given the chance to piece together his director's cut under the name Payback: Straight Up. Along with reinstating the original third act, this version represents a return to the gritty world of '70s filmmaking that was the groundwork of the production up until Paramount got cold feet and ordered extensive reshoots. The story centers on Porter (Mel Gibson), a thief that is pulled into a heist by his old friend, Val (Brian De Palma regular Gregg Henry), who plans a double cross with Porter's wife, Lynn (Deborah Kara Unger) after showing her a photo of her husband in the arms of another girl (Maria Bello). As they're stealing $130,000 in laundered drug money from Chinese Triads, Lynn shoots Porter in the back and speeds away with Val and money in tow. What they didn't know is that Porter would come back looking for his cut, which has been used to pay off Val's mob debts so he could return to "The Syndicate." Helgeland, the screenwriter for L.A. Confidential and Mystic River, made his directing debut with this adaptation of the novel The Hunter by Donald E. Westlake writing under the pseudonym, Richard Stark. The same novel served as the basis for John Boorman's Point Blank starring Lee Marvin. This version excises Kris Kristofferson's performance entirely and features a new score by Scott Stambler. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

An innocent man visiting a friend in New York City becomes embroiled in a dangerous series of events after being mistaken for the very man he has come to the city to see in director Paul McGuigan's labyrinthine murder mystery. Upon arriving at the empty apartment of his old friend Nick, the unassuming Slevin (Josh Hartnett) is troubled to hear the voice of his missing friend's next door neighbor Lindsay (Lucy Liu) expressing concern as to Nick's safety and whereabouts. When Slevin ventures into Lindsay's apartment only to be greeted by the uninviting fist of a thuggish mob henchman, he quickly realizes that Nick is indeed in grave danger. Soon summoned by the big boss and accused of being the deeply indebted Nick, Slevin's attempts to prove his identity are foiled by the fact that his wallet had been stolen upon arrival in the city. With time running out and a complex plot to assassinate one of the city's most powerful crime bosses slowly coming into focus, the arrival of a notorious hit-man named Mr. Goodkat (Bruce Willis) forces Slevin to step up his desperate search and reclaim his identity before he's forced to pay a debt that could cost him his life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The (mostly) true story of a Hollywood princess turned bounty hunter is told in this witty action-drama from director Tony Scott. Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) was the daughter of famed actor Laurence Harvey (played by Jesse Pate) who passed on when Domino was only eight years old. Domino's mother, former fashion model Paulene Stone (played by Jacqueline Bisset and renamed (%Sophie Wynn) in the film), strove to give her daughter a comfortable life, but Domino was naturally rebellious, and after a contentious stint in boarding school, a brief career as a runway model, and a fling with the fashion business, Domino was looking for something more exciting. She found it when he met Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke), an ex-con who had gone on to a successful career as a "bail recovery agent" -- in short, a bounty hunter. Ed also taught others how to join his profession, and Domino took his course and joined his team, along with Choco (Edgar Ramirez), a headstrong bail agent who took an immediate fancy to Domino. Domino, Ed, and Choco became a successful team -- successful enough that television producer Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) asked them to become the subject of a television reality series. However, it was after the cameras were turned on Domino that her life got truly crazy. Bail bondsman Claremont Williams III (Delroy Lindo) had hired Domino and her friends for a risky case, and soon Domino, Ed, and Choco were chasing missing men and money while landing in hot water with both the FBI and the Mafia. Domino was loosely based on Domino Harvey's real life story; sadly her personal life was as reckless as her career, and Domino died as a result of drug abuse on June 27, 2005, after this film was completed. The film also features Lucy Liu, Mena Suvari, Macy Gray, and Dabney Coleman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

UPN's first prime-time CGI-animated comedy series, Game Over dealt with the Smashenberns, a family of computerized video game characters. Mom Raquel Smashenbern (voiced by Lucy Liu) was a dead ringer for Lara Croft, dad Rip Smashenbern (voiced by Patrick Warburton) would not be out of place as a Grand Prix racer, and 13-year-old Billy and 14-year old Alice spent most of their time figuring out just what game they'd be best suited for (you know those teenagers; they never feel like they quite belong). Also in the cast was the family's 300-pound pet, Turbo, one of those amorphous, unrecognizable blobs that tended show up in real video games if the player forgot to defrag. The Smashenburns' nutty neighbors were the Changs, a clan of battling Shaolin Monks. Living in the alternate "afterworld" of Game Over, the main characters struggled to fulfill their strenuous video game duties while trying to maintain a semblance of normality in their private lives. In several instances, genuine video game characters showed up in guest roles. Debuting March 10, 2004, Game Over, produced by the same people responsible for 3rd Rock From the Sun and That '70s Show, lasted a scant six half-hour episodes, only five of which were seen before it was canceled by UPN. The network also briefly maintained an online PC game to be played in conjunction with the program. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A presentation of the daily PBS Kids programming block, Maya & Miguel was a Latino-flavored educational cartoon series geared for children aged 5 through 11. Maya Santos was a lively 10-year-old Hispanic girl who was insatiably curious about the world around her, and who also came up with a million and one ideas to help those around her--in short, a well-meaning busybody, who invariably learned an important Life Lesson, or a new aspect of Latino culture and history, the end of each half-hour episode. Maya was accompanied in her exploits by her twin brother Miguel, her 7-year-old Mexican cousion Tito, and her ethnically diverse friends, among them Chrissy, Maggie, Theo and Andy. The adult characters included Maya and Miguel's incredibly supportive parents Miguel and Rosa, the kids' warm-hearted grandmother Abuela Elena, and friendly neighborhood mailman Senor Felipe. The Hispanic characters all spoke bilingually, switching from English to Spanish and back again with exhilarating abandon. Produced by Scholastic Productions and funded in part by a cooperative agreement between PBS, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the US Department of Education, Maya & Miguel debuted October 1, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Perhaps the most highly anticipated film of 2003, Kill Bill Vol. 1 marked the return of renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino after a six-year hiatus. Re-teaming the director with Uma Thurman for the first time since 1994's Pulp Fiction, the film was originally the first half of what was to be a three-hour-plus movie before being split into two films. Thurman stars as The Bride, one-fifth of a team of assassins called DiVAS. When The Bride opts to leave the outfit for a life of marital bliss, it doesn't sit well with her boss, Bill (David Carradine), so he has her former cohorts, played by Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, and Michael Madsen, show up at the nuptials, leaving behind a blood bath. Miraculously, The Bride survives a bullet to the head and, four years later, she sets out for revenge against her four assassins and their employer. The story is concluded in Kill Bill Vol. 2, released six months later. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

After profiling Monica Lewinsky, Billy Haynes, and Tammy Faye Bakker, documentarians Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato make their feature debut with this true-life tale of the rapid climb and lurid demise of a flamboyant young club promoter in late-'80s/early-'90s Manhattan. Based on James St. James' nonfiction account Disco Bloodbath as well as on the writer/directors' own 1998 documentary, Party Monster features former child star Macaulay Culkin as Michael Alig, a Midwestern teen determined to forget his past amidst the bright lights and throbbing house music of New York City's nightlife. Introduced to the club scene by St. James (Seth Green), Alig quickly becomes an event promoter himself, dreaming up bizarrely themed dance parties in such unlikely venues as fast-food restaurants and subway cars. But this archetypical "club kid" orchestrates his own downfall when, stoned on designer drugs, he and accomplice Freez (Justin Hagan) brutally murder their small-time dealer friend Angel Menendez (Wilson Cruz). Party Monster had its world premiere in the Dramatic Competition at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The three most glamorous and butt-kicking private detectives in the business are back and ready to take on bad guys in this sequel to the 2000 blockbuster screen adaptation of the once-popular television series. Dylan (Drew Barrymore), Natalie (Cameron Diaz), and Alex (Lucy Liu) are once again summoned to the office of their boss Charlie (voice of John Forsythe), where they're introduced to his new right-hand man Jimmy Bosley (Bernie Mac) and given their latest assignment. It seems a pair of rings have gone missing and need to be recovered, but this was no ordinary jewel heist -- the rings have been coded with special information that can be used to access a list of every person in the FBI's Witness Protection Program, and when a handful of protected informants are murdered, the Angels are brought in to help crack the case. As the women search for the culprits, they encounter Madison Lee (Demi Moore), one of Charlie's former agents who decided that the wrong side of the law pays better, and Seamus (Justin Theroux), who once dated Dylan and wants revenge for her decision to turn him over to the police. Luke Wilson and Matt LeBlanc return as (respectively) Natalie and Alex's love interests, as does Crispin Glover as the Thin Man; John Cleese, Robert Forster, and Eric Bogosian also appear in supporting roles. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
