Shea.. I have been watching, from the sidelines, since the beginning of this case... You submit that Leslie fell appx 10' without sustaining serious injury.. My question.. How does one become a victim of accidental drowning, in shallow pools of water, if they sustained no serious injury prior to their exposure to the water.. Surely a person who was coherent and aware of the situation they were currently in would struggle to remove themselves from the water, prior to their demise.. Secondly, if Leslie had sustained an injury that left her unconscious, wouldn't their be evidence of such an injury??
I have no idea if Fred committed a crime or not.. I am just curious how a person can claim both scenarios...
The defense submitted evidence that she had a fracture in the neck area

Smuin Ballets/SF is presenting a new,
evening-length program, Dancin with Gershwin, that demonstrates the
accomplished showmanship of choreographer Michael Smuin.
Using songs composed by George Gershwin, as well as some of his orchestral
music, Smuin has devised an entertainment that moves along briskly. The songs, that span Gershwins all-too-brief
career (he died at age 38), keep changing mood. Smuin
has used recordings old and new of the songs, with many familiar singers represented in
his selections. Willa Kims costumes are
colorful and witty. The design elements and
lighting, by Rick Goodwin and Sara Linnie Slocum, also contribute to this engaging
Who could resist the charms of
Allison Jay? She appears magically through a
sea of ostrich feather fans (shades of Sally Rand, for those who remember the famous fan
dancer) held by a corps of six men. Jay wears
a tight red velvet dress revealing an impressive cleavage adorned with
diamonds. To the voice of Marilyn Monroe singing Do It Again, she
prances, slinks and vamps through a clever dance in which the fans play an active part. This was the highlight of the evening.
The dozen members of the company
obviously relish what they are doing, and the audience has a good time with them. The program beings with a piano (painted bright
red) in the spotlight as the overture plays. Hernn
Piquin springs into action, playing the keyboard with his feet, timed to the
music, and is joined by Celia Fushille-Burke in a lively routine that sets the tone for
the evening ahead. As the overture ends, the
piano flies away and the program moves quickly into an homage to Al Jolson and
his signature song, Swanee. The
dexterous Shannon Hurlburt, dressed like Jolson, is backed by six smaller Jolsons, and the
routine they perform draws upon the well-known Jolson moves.
The first part of the program
emphasizes upbeat selections, with an occasional romantic pas de deux, and an acrobatic
solo by the lithe Hernn Piquin danced to It Aint Necessarily So from
the Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess. This
number employs shadow projections that give visual representation to the lyrics--another
witty, theatrical touch. There is also a
dance for two couples with the women seated on rolling chairs, an homage to Busby Berkley
routines, and a Andrews Sisters-inspired rendering of Of Thee I Sing.
The second part of the program
begins with a moody dance (set to the Adagio section from the Concerto in F)
for two couples. The story implied in the
dance is that the couples are mismatchedthe man of one couple yearns for the woman
of the other couple. Antony Tudors
masterpiece Lilac Garden uses the same premise and is a ballet that Smuin knows
well. In fact, throughout the evening, Smuin
borrows from other choreographers, putting their movements together in his own way. Smuin is more a synthesizer than an original
creator of movement; he makes astute choices
in what he borrows.
Two young performers (the
accomplished Roberto Cisneros and Anthony Huxley, both age 12) are featured in a tap
routine (one of several tap dances) that ends with a stab at hip hop. Smuin is always up to date in his use of
vernacular movement. Cisneros is also
featured in an homage to Fred Astaire in which he mimics the moves of Shannon Hurlburt
dancing to a recording of Fascinating Rhythm made by Fred Astaire. The program ends with the entire company dancing
to Slap That Bass, bringing the evening to a spirited close.

Piltdown Man, Paleoanthropology's April Fool's
This is the story of a missing link that never was.
In 1912, Charles Dawson, an amateur British archaeologist, told Arthur Woodward of the British Museum about a fragment of skull found in the Piltdown quarry in Sussex, England. Soon, Dawson, Woodward and a third man, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, returned to the quarry and found more skull fragments, a jaw bone and an elephant molar. By the end of the year they presented their findings to the British scientific community. These were the remains of an ancient human ancestor, they said, one that shared features with both apes and men. That is, the "missing link."
The British paleontological community was enthralled by such a find on British soil. Others weren't quite so enthusiastic, and many were skeptical. But after Dawson discovered a second skull, Piltdown II, the finds seemed more plausible.
Over the next decades, however, as more hominids were found around the world—australopithecines, Peking man, Homo erectus—Piltdown Man got less and less attention; it didn't fit into the growing collection of human ancestors, either in shape or geography.
In 1925, geologist F. H. Edmonds found that Dawson's dating of the gravels in which the fossils were found was in error. They were younger than Dawson had claimed. In 1947, a new test for fluorine content was applied to the fossils and established that they had a relatively recent origin. And then in 1953, scientists finally exposed Piltdown Man as a hoax, composed of pieces of medieval-era human skull, an orangutan jaw, and a couple of genuine fossils from the Mediterranean region.
The bones had been treated with an iron solution, and the teeth filed to fit or to show wear. A "canine" tooth included in the lot had been filled with sand and was patched with gum.
That the hoax wasn't exposed earlier is rather amazing, but the forgery was a good one and the initial analysis was pretty bad, even for its time.
The perpetrator of the hoax has never been found, though there are theories aplenty. Charles Dawson would seem to be the prime suspect, but there is little evidence he did it, and he died in 1916 without leaving a convenient deathbed confession. Other suspects over the years have included various acquaintances of Dawson, museum curators, Pieree Teilhard de Chardin, the guy they hired to do the digging, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was Dawson's neighbor. (Conan Doyle's The Lost World supposedly describes the hoax.)
What makes finding who did it even harder is that there is no obvious motive for such a forgery, particularly one that consisted of finds made over a period of years. Perhaps the forger or forgers just thought it was funny, an April Fool's joke for the ages.
(Find more details, including a timeline and references, at the Piltdown Man web site.)

Teilhard de Chardin was less involved than you seem to believe in this hoax which was recognised as such by it's author himself in a famous confession released after his death. Teilhard de Chardin was a young paleontologist, aged 30, abused by amusement by Dawson. He has been much more seriously involved, twenty years later, in China in 1931, with the discovery of the Peking man. I think that it is not very fair to mention his name in the Piltdown misadventure where he did'nt act as author but was only consulted on purpose to be abused. He never gave his caution to such a mistrustful "discovery". This has been testified by Conan Doyle, later.
[...] in Europe; Java Man (now known as Homo erectus) had been discovered in Indonesia and Piltdown Man (later exposed as a hoax) had been unearthed in England. Although these ancient beings were primitive, they clearly [...]

In my last few posts, I have been writing about techniques I use when illustrating cars in Illustrator. I am still doing funky wagons/hatchbacks. My latest is a 1978 AMC Pacer Wagon. During the creation of this car, I took a screenshot every so often. I thought this would help illustrate the technique of drawing the main overall shape and then logically cutting it into smaller and smaller pieces that I mentioned in a previous post.
I really wanted to do a 1977 Pinto Cruising Wagon but could not find a high enough resolution photo to work from so I set my sights on an AMC Pacer. I finally found a large photo of a not just a Pacer but a Pacer Wagon with wood trim on Flickr.
Step 1: Place into Illustrator
Step 2: Trace the body of the car with the pen tool shown here in magenta. I find it easier to omit the wheels from this step as I will do the separately on their own layer(s). On this car, I did not include the roof rack in this step because it helped me create a smooth line for the contour of the roof. I can add the roof rack to the roof later. I always work to make my paths have as few points as possible. Fewer points on your paths make for smoother more flowing lines. I probably should have done that on the back bumper and the front spoiler.
Here it is in Outline Mode showing the 64 of anchor points:
Step 3: Start dividing this large shape into smaller shapes. I started with the front bumper and worked my way around the rest of the car in no particular order. I made an animated .gif from my screenshots showing the method to my madness.
Step 4: Add some color. For all my cars I have tried to limit the number of colors to 5 but for this car I used 6.(I know it looks like 7 but I consider one of the colors is the color of the paper this would be printed on.)
On the Aztek, I experimented with crosshatched lines in order to add tints and tones to the colors instead of using gradients. For this car, I created a huge concentric circle pattern and used it as a radial halftone to create tints and tones. The pattern is just a series of stroked circle shapes with space in between each circle. By changing the colors of the lines of the pattern and placing them over a solid color, you can create many more color combinations. In this example, I have turned 7 colors into 49. (I did not end up using all 49 combinations in my illustration.)
I filled each shape of my illustration with one of these 7 colors. In the shapes that use the halftone pattern, i add another fill to the shape using the Appearance Palette. For example, the shadow of the car is one shape that has two fills. One fill is black and the other fill is the gray pattern. To create another fill, open the Appearances Palette, make sure Fill is selected and click the New icon at the bottom of the palette. This will give you a new fill that is the same color as the original fill. All you then have to do is select this new fill and click the radial halftone pattern in your Swatches Palette.
Speaking of Patterns, they always behaved strangely for me. Sometimes they moved with the shape and sometimes they did not. In Illustrator Preferences ->General, I found a check box called Transform Pattern Tiles.
When you fill something with a pattern, Illustrator actually fills the entire document with that pattern but uses the object's shape as a kind of clipping mask. So as you drag the filled object around the artboard, it's like moving a window around … the pattern is stationary, just different parts of it are revealed as you move the clipping mask around. When you scale an object with the Scale or Free Transform tool, the pattern doesn't scale. So if you would rather the pattern move and transform with the object, turn on Transform Pattern Tiles.
For this illustration, I made sure the pattern remained stationary so all the lines of the pattern lined up no matter what color they were. Here is detail of the center of the pattern starting just below the front tire. You can see how the lines line up through the shadow, tire, hubcap, and body of the car.
The entire pattern is revealed as a huge moon behind the car.
I created another animated .gif showing the process of me coloring the car.
This illustration was a lot of fun. I learned a lot and can't wait to get started on the next one.

6 Medical Exams You Should Never Miss
Make these doctors' visits regularly to protect your health and minimize costs in the long run.
Get the Most Out of Your Insurance
This article originally appeared on LearnVest.com.
Most people receive health insurance through their employers (though we have tips for you toward the end of this article if
you're uninsured), so not seeing the necessary doctors each year is actually leaving money on the table. We've outlined the
doctors you should visit each year, including cost estimates for each visit. Of course, doctor prices and insurance coverage
varies. Where possible, we've tried to provide you with lower-cost options for each of these check-ups.

Legal Docket
Supported class certification in a lawsuit brought on behalf of children in Philadelphia's foster care system.
Argued that Petitioner Bunch's sentence is unconstitutional pursuant to the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Graham v. Florida, which held that juvenile offenders cannot be sentenced to life without parole without a meaningful and realistic opportunity to re-enter society prior to the expiration of their sentences for non-homicide offenses.
Juvenile Law Center's brief argues that the mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole imposed on a 16-year-old is a disproportionate punishment under the U.S. and Massachusetts Constitutions.
Argued that sentences of life without parole for juveniles convicted of homicide are unconstitutional.
Argued that a court should not consider an individual's juvenile record when deciding whether to impose the death penalty on him or her as an adult.
Argued for a specific jury instruction addressing the susceptibility of a 16-year-old to duress because of his level of maturity and limited decision-making capacity.
Argued that Congress has authority under the Commerce Clause to address the failure of the market to provide affordable and appropriate health care for children who can neither purchase health insurance nor access health care on their own.
Argued that juveniles facing severe, adult-like consequences in the juvenile court system must be afforded the right to jury trials.
Argued that failure of the court to address the issue of competency – on its own or otherwise -- violates the due process clause of the United States Constitution as well as Georgia law.

Nice work, Sayburr, thank you for your dedication.
It's all right. Everything will work out fine.
It's all right. We're going to the end of the line!
No problem, I was trying to find an answer in the other thread and it took forever, so I decided if I couldn't find answers, no one else could either... so I decided this thread needed to be indexed.
As issues are resolved that are indexed, the link can be removed... also, no matter where the conversation goes, revelent information can be linked to in the index.
Should be a useful thread now.

PSN: Bront20
DLC: lots+RB1+LRB+RB2+ACDC+GDRB (+ RB3)
Why didnt the Wii get the free song(s)
HMXHenry said Free DLC, as with paid DLC, isn't something that we're able to set without 1st party consent. We submitted this HMX pack to all 3 consoles and for whatever reason only MS and Sony agreed to offer the free pack so that's why it's only going to be available on the 360 and PS3. It's obviously in our best interest to make these songs available to everyone that wants them (and there's no reason why we wouldn't want Wii owners to have a chance to play these songs) but unfortunately it's not a process that we have complete control over.
Even free songs need to be licensed. Even free songs from HMX bands need to be licensed. One of questions that has popped up a few times has been about the possibility of releasing this pack as a paid download on the Wii, and unfortunately that is unlikely to happen any time soon. As I understand it, songs licensed for free release can't be also be released as paid downloads, even on other consoles. Licensing is a complicated process, and an influx of money for a song licensed as a free release would, I am sure, complicate things further.
Pushing 50 and still rockin' like a teen, only now I can afford it and it takes longer to recover.
Why charge and export fee, is it to gouge us for more money? How about just taking a hit on the bottom line and giving it to us free?
HMXHenry said FWIW We don't make any money on export fees. That all goes towards re licensing music for the option to use your songs in future games. Licensing for music isn't a universal thing (unfortunately) which means that licensing a song for RB2 doesn't mean that we're licensed to use it in commercials, demos, podcasts or future games. It's not by choice, it's just the nature of the beast.
Beyond that, "taking the hit on our bottom line" would severely impact our ability to make future games, release future DLC, maintain good relationships with artists, etc. We're doing absolutely as much as we can to get as many songs as possible for as little as possible, but at the end of the day is an entirely optional feature that we have to clear with all the bands and labels. And we put in a lot of work to make that option possible because we believe it leads to the best overall Rock Band experience.

Can't you fix vocal overdrive deployment better than that?
HMXPope said see that some of you aren't satisfied with the way that we've addressed vocal overdrive deployment. Hopefully this provides some context.
Many of you in this thread were reporting problems deploying overdrive while singing, and many of you were super helpful in providing us detailed feedback on the problems you experienced. Turns out many of you like to play really loudly!!
That's a fun way to play, but RB3's design doesn't have the option to adjust your Mic Sensitivity, which previously helped you compensate for such loud setups. Similarly, others were affected by proximity of the microphone to speakers and the volume required to activate OD, which presented problems even when playing at lower volumes. Unfortunately, we're not able to take every home theater set up into account while developing games, so we had to find a solution that would help everyone regardless of volume or set up.
A number of you in this very thread put forward the idea of a BACK/SELECT button overdrive deploy as a good work-around, and we were able to accommodate that. The scope of integrating a Mic Sensitivity system into RB3 is not one that could be contained in a title update. The button-deploy is the best option to help you guys play vocals the way you want to within the constraints we have post-release.
Missing the mic sensitivity slider from RB2 is a reasonable comparison between RB2 and RB3. We on the Community team miss it in certain circumstances as well, as we often play in loud convention halls or at Rock Band Bar Nights! We understand what you are feeling, but we also hope you can understand and appreciate the vast amount of work that it takes to update a title after its release. We believe the title update released this week goes a tremendous way in improving the Rock Band 3 experience, and we've done our best to incorporate your feedback in ways that were feasible and helped the greatest number of users.
As always, we're here to listen to your feedback and pass it along to the design and production teams for consideration. Thanks for thinking about this issue and providing us with your feelings about the ways you play Rock Band.

Why no Double Bass (Expert +) in Rock Band 3?
HMXHenry said double bass won't be charted… We're not always able to fit every feature on our wish list into a title, and with a big release like RB3 there were a ton of new features that would have a huge impact on the vast majority of people playing the game. Comparatively, the number of songs where double bass would be helpful / appropriate would be fairly slim, and since all the songs in RB were charted so they could be played with one pedal there's not a real need for the feature.
I definitely understand that there is still a strong desire for a double bass option though, and I will continue to pass threads like these along to the Design team. With Pro Mode taking a stronger focus on teaching real world instrument skills, there's a chance we'll see more features like this in the future. Encouraging people to adapt to cymbals is a huge first step beyond the standard four pad game play for drums, and we're very excited to see how the RB community reacts.
UPDATE: Harmonix is now allowing RBN authors to release two versions of songs if desired. One charted with normal single pedal bass drum and also double bass. These songs will all be marked with (2x Bass Pedal) after the title.
I will try to keep this listing updated, but no promises.

Hey, if you can release Pro-Guitar/bass upgrades for legacy (RB, RB2 compatible songs) why cant you release harmony and even keys upgrades?
HMXHenry said on Feb 25, 2011, I don't know if there are any technical limitations that would prevent us from releasing harmonies or keys as individual updates (that is, releasing them as $0.99 updates rather than full on RB3 versions) but it's safe to say that there are work load and accessibility issues that will keep this from happening.
I don't know if releasing instrument upgrades piecemeal would be possible from a licensing standpoint, but even if it were possible it would mean twice as many submissions to first party. So rather than releasing 10 RB3 versions, it'd mean submitting 20 different upgrades and I'm guessing that would eat in to how many tracks we'd actually be able to get approved in a timely fashion. I also don't know if that would make purchasing DLC more or less confusing if it meant having upgrades available for guitar / bass, another for keys and a third for harmonies.
It may also have something to do with instrument popularity, looking at how many people play Pro Guitar in RB vs. how many people use harmonies, and releasing upgrades based on which instruments will get the most use. I'll touch bases with Audio and see if there's any more info we can share.

All, right! I heard a rumor that Metacallicas Master of Puppets is coming to Rock Band, when can we expect it?
HMXHenry said on Feb 25, 2011, This is one of the silliest RB rumors going around. Don't bother getting yourself built up every week for an album that's not even on our schedule. I'm not saying that it might not happen sometime, or that we'll never see more Metallica again, but this album's not on our schedule for the foreseeable future.

What the heck happened harmonics? You promised us content then you let the game die? I have rockband, and rockband 2 also. I think we should all protest this on our blogs and were we can. Its not right! They get us suckered in with hipe then don't live up to it? There are other band games! Maybe its time to cut our loses and try something else.. We pay lots of money for these games, these companies need to learn they cant treat their fan base this way. $200 for complete rockband 2 then another $200 for the Beatles edition, not to mention all the Beatles guitars..
Listen up harmonics you need to make this right or you will loose customers... Put more albums out like you said you would, come on!

1. Don't put words in people's mouths. In fact, talk as little as possible. A pause that's a bit longer than a pause would be comfortable in everyday conversation can work wonders in provoking further insights from a respondent. It signals that you're waiting for them to say more, and gives them time and space to think more deeply. (See? Awkward pauses aren't a reflection on your social skills. It's a research technique.)
Yes, you have to say things sometimes, but you don't have to say a lot. Often just saying "Hmm" will provoke an interviewee to expand on an idea or offer up new information. "Can you say a little more about that?", repeating an interesting word mentioned by the respondent in a questioning tone, briefly re-stating what the respondent just said to make sure you're understanding can also all be interview gold.
2. Try to avoid positive or negative feedback. Listening to lots of interviews about people's experiences with illicit drugs gave me a clearer idea of why this can be a good guiding concept. If an interviewer says "That's wonderful" in response to someone's description of a recent attempt to quit using a substance, the respondent may react by emphasizing quitting attempts and downplaying current use, for example. There's no getting around the feedback loop between an interviewer and a respondent, and that loop can be an important part of analysis, but avoiding positive or negative feedback as much as possible can often produce information that is less aligned with the interviewer's biases.
3. Expect to be surprised. But don't expect anything else. A difficult part of the notion that interviewers should avoid positive or negative feedback is that not getting much feedback can make some people shut down. Also lots of people use expressions with a positive inflection like "That's great" as conversational support.
For me the word "interesting" can be a good compromise - partly just because it's a word I say too much anyway. What's not interesting? But "interesting" can also be a way to let people know that you want to hear more without expressing a judgment about the content of what they're saying, and without imposing "common sense" expectations about what people are saying or how they're interpreting it. If I say someone's attempt to quit using a substance is "great," I might not learn that, for example, quitting made the respondent realize all the things they enjoy about the substance and that they never want to quit using it again.
4. Respondents are the experts on their own experiences. You are just there to listen and learn. It can be helpful to say something at the beginning like "I might ask some questions that seem really dumb or obvious. That's just part of the interview process. You're the expert, and I want to try to understand how you see things, in your own words." You don't necessarily have to 'lead' an interview. Sometimes what seems like a tangent in the moment ends up being the most meaningful part of an interview.
But yeah, you do have to guide people, and manage how much you need to cover in a limited amount of time. In an interview where the interviewer and respondent can see each other, body language can work really well for this. Although introverted or shy people may not always be great with body language, it can be more manageable when you understand your role as primarily listening, and the spotlight is not on you. One visual cue that I use in interviews is hunching down and making myself visually lower than the respondent. They're the expert. When I need to jump in and it's hard to find a good pause, I sit up straighter, maybe shuffle around some papers. This usually produces a pause and I can jump in without it feeling like a jarring interruption.
5. Recruiting complete strangers can totally work. When I've needed to "get out and meet people" for a recruiting effort, I have found that handing out flyers in person has worked best for me. (A) I don't have to give a spiel. (B) The people I'm encountering don't have to waste time trying to figure out whether/how to engage with the possibly crazy person's spiel, but can just read the flyer if they feel like it (assuming literacy or language differences aren't an issue) and then let me know if they're interested. If you're a smile-y sort of person, smiling can help, or just generally looking approachable. You don't necessarily have to be the life of the party who has mastered circulating and networking though. People may find it easier to approach you on their own terms.

A Palmer man's project done out of his home office for the last year is getting international attention.
David Board is a partner with Palmer-based Stage 2 Studios and hopes by the end of the year to release his video game, "Lifeless Planet," around the world to audiences in Europe, Australia, Asia and the U.S.
Board began the project by seeking startup donations throughthe website kickstarter.com. In addition to raising more than $17,000, his project caught the attention of international publishing companies and movie studios.
Board says the space adventure game will be distributed for PC, Mac and eventually tablet computers. He also hopes Microsoft will take interest and release his game for the Xbox 360.
The preview trailer for "Lifeless Planet" is online at the game's website.

mdp stands for "Mot de Passe", which means "password" in French. It wraps GnuPG for encryption and deals with all the small details of generating, managing, and fetching your passwords. It is similar to many other programs, but differentiates itself with simplicity (not button-driven simplicity, but with a Unix less-is-more style). For example, beyond the use of GnuPG for encryption, it lets you use your own editor to manage your passwords, categorize them, and delete them. In order to avoid passwords lingering on your screen, the results from the queries are displayed through a custom pager which is cleared after a customizable timeout (defaulting to ten seconds).
ENet for C# wraps the C-language ENet networking library. For games and other realtime applications, if you use TCP, old data can hold up newer data, even if it is no longer relevant (old positions, etc.). Your players will perceive any lost packet as a "lag burst". ENet supports multiple in-order streams of data, and allows you to decide on reliability on a per-packet basis. The library is useful for both client-server and peer-to-peer architectures.
Lhasa is a Free Software replacement for the Unix LHA tool, for decompressing .lzh (LHA/LHarc) and .lzs (LArc) archives. The backend for the tool is a library, so it can be reused for other purposes. Lhasa aims to be compatible with as many types of lzh/lzs archives as possible. It also aims to generate the same output as the (non-free) Unix LHA tool, so it will act as a drop-in free replacement.
minidb is a Python module that utilizes the SQLite3 database library in order to store and retrieve Python objects. It utilizes Python's __slots__ mechanism to determine the column names, and uses the class name for table names. Data is always stored as text in the database, but will be converted using the type specified in __slots__ (which therefore has to be a dict).
Werc is a minimalistic RESTful Web application framework and content management system. It follows the Unix "tool philosophy" and it is designed to be fast, simple, convenient, and easily extensible. It handles both small and big sites and has a flexible system for user and group permissions. All data is stored in plain text files that can be easily manipulated with standard tools, without using any databases or other external dependencies. Existing applications include a blogging engine with RSS/Atom feeds, a wiki system that can easily integrate pre-existing documents (can be enabled for any directory tree), and others.

Marymount was purchased in 1919 by the Sisters of St. Dominic in Tacoma, WA. It was 100 acres with a farm house. The groundbreaking was in May of 1921. On July 2, 1922 the cornerstone was laid and it opened as a boy's military school on May 30th, 1923.
When the school opened there were about 30 boys in attendance. The number fluctuated over the years. During World War II the number of students rose to 110. The students enjoyed a fine music program, and in addition to their choir, Marymount sponsored a band. Once a week the boys held a parade review, demonstrating the marches and drills that they had mastered that week. They also had a tradition of performing annually in the local Daffodil Parade. A full schedule kept the boys active from reveille at 6:40am each morning until their bedtime at 9:00pm. This rigorous life proved beneficial to many students who went on to become successful in a variety of careers.
Marymount was run as a school until 1975 when the unpopularity of the Vietnam War persuaded the church to cease its operation of the military school. For several years following this policy shift, the nuns operated a school that taught English as a second language to foreign-born students.
For the decade following, Marymount was basically a retirement home and convalescent center for the nuns. By the late 1980's, a series of catastrophic maintenance problems convinced the church to sell Marymount because it couldn't adequately care for the facility and grounds. When the nuns solicited proposals from potential buyers, Harold LeMay's proposal was not only the lone bid that would preserve the buildings and grounds, but he promised to maintain and improve them! The decisive element of the proposal was that the nuns were promised access to Marymount as long as they wished.
Harold and Nancy LeMay became quite close to the Marymount nuns, and Nancy continues that relationship today. The nuns have come to the annual LeMay Car Show, and they have delighted in meeting and reminiscing with former students and the family members of those students.
Today, several non-profit groups share space at Marymount, including two church congregations and a senior center, in addition to the LeMay Museum. It is also one of the locations for the annual car show and auction held on the last Saturday of August.
Marymount Academy is still available for tours and is under the operation of the LeMay Family Collection Foundation. For more information, visit www.lemaymarymount.org.

I'm sitting, I guess, exposing myself to the usual dose of afternoon comedy, as a watch an interview with hedge fund manager Kyle Bass on CNBC where he's warning of the big bust in Japan and explaining how he's shorting Japanese bonds right now so that he can take advantage of the coming crisis.
Bass just got introduced by CNBC Capital Markets Editor, Gary Kaminsky, who I thought was a pretty smart guy (now I'm having doubts), but I am floored when I hear Kaminsky accord him such reverence, saying that he's "honored" to be sitting in the midst of such "brain power." If that's brainpower I'd hate to see what Kaminsky considers to be stupidity.
Bass begins by saying there's going to be a huge bust in Japan because there's no way the country can avoid a bond market crisis, insolvency, default and/or, severe hyper-inflation.
Never mind that people have been making this same, misinformed, prediction for the better part of the past 20 years now and despite the fact that Japan's debt is three times that of the U.S. yields on 10yr JGB's are a paltry 0.88%. In addition, Japan's inflation rate is, like, ZERO, and the yen has been so strong that it's caused Japan's monetary authorities to have to intervene (something they are loathe to do) to try to get the damn thing down and that hasn't worked very well.
Is Bass blind? Are all these debt guys blind??? It is my humble prediction that it will only be a matter of time before he is relieved of all the money he is managing. And that would be a good thing. I mean, seriously, this is such a rookie, misinformed, ignorant, unscientific prediction that I can't believe Maria Bartiromo herself doesn't call him out on it. Even SHE knows better!
What really amazes me, though, is how guys like Bass have the ability to con investors into giving them these enormous sums of money to manage. I want some!! How do these guys do it?? Japan...a curreency issuer...defaulting?...becoming insolvent? It's mind-numbingly stupid.
By the way, Bass had one other forecast: he predicted an even worse scenario for the United States, where the debt was "approaching five times revenues" (which, is a pretty normal, comfortable, ratio for the average homeowner with a mortgage) he said. Insolvency, bankruptcy, hyperinflation...the end!
Do yourself a favor, go buy some JGB's and Treasuries. It's almost your duty. We have to make sure these guys never manage money ever again and we all deserve at least a piece of what they're about to lose. A fool and his money...

Yellow Card
A young man finds it's not always easy to navigate the rocky waters of love and sex in this teen-themed comedy-drama from Zimbabwe. Tiyane (Leroy Gopal) is a fairly typical teenager; he likes to play soccer, tries to do well in his studies, and has girls on the brain. However, Tiyane hasn't had much luck in finding a girlfriend, and his streetwise friendo), a pretty girl he has known since childhood, and the two start dating; one night Skido (Collin Dube) urges him to take a more aggressive approach. Tiyane decides to turn on the charm to Linda (Ratidzo Mambafter getting caught in a sudden rainstorm, one thing leads to another and the couple have sex for the first time. But it isn't long before Tiyane's eyes begin to wander, and he soon drops Linda for Juliet (Kasamba Mkumba), a pretty girl from a wealthy family. Linda feels awful, but soon finds it's more than just a matter of wounded pride -- she's pregnant. Tiyane is confused and angered by Linda's predicament; he thinks his problems are over when Linda is sent away by her family to have the baby, until he learns that Juliet is far less eager to give in to her impulses than Linda. Yellow Card received its American premiere at the 2000 Mill Valley Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Everyone's Child
In this Zimabwean drama, members of a rural African village struggle with traditional ways vs. Western materialism. Following the unexpected death of their parents, adolescent Tamari and her little brother Itai are forced to become parents to their many brothers and sisters. The only adult around to assist them is their uncle Ozias, but he cares only for himself and nearly robs them blind. Though Tamari loves a traveling musician, she ends up sleeping with a local shopkeeper who offers her money. Unfortunately, this brands her as a prostitute. Afterward, Itai tries his luck in the big city of Harare, but unfortunately he ends upon on the wrong end of the town's worst side. All of the film's dialogue is in English. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

In Zimbabwe's traditional culture, when a woman's husband dies, the man's brothers (if any) are supposed to take care of her and, after a year set aside for mourning, they are supposed to marry her. Mind you, in these circumstances nobody asks the widow anything about what she prefers. In this melodramatic story (with a few comic touches), Neria has just lost her husband and her brother-in-law has decided to take full advantage of the situation. The sort of man who likes to torment people just for the fun of it, he not only reduces Neria to servitude, but tries to bribe her children so that they turn against her. One day, she has altogether all she can stand, and seeks out a good lawyer. Her brother-in-law has a good lawyer too, and her freedom looks like it is very much in jeopardy, except that she is lucky in the judge for the case, who sets things right. Neria also refuses to marry any of her other brothers' in law after the year of mourning is up, scandalizing her relatives. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

John G. Avildsen, director of Rocky and The Karate Kid, adapts Bryce Courtenay's compassionate novel about the coming of age of a white anti-apartheid activist during the years of World War II in South Africa. Avildsen cumbersomely grafts Courtenay's tale of fighting apartheid onto a Hollywood-style fight-for-the-championship bout. Seven-year-old P.K. (Guy Witcher) is a white South African raised on his family's farm by his Zulu nanny. When his mother takes ill, he is sent away to an Afrikaner boarding school, where he is picked on and nearly killed by the school bully during a pep rally for Hitler. P.K. survives and is sent to live with his grandfather. He befriends Doc (Armin Mueller-Stahl), a jailed German musician, and a black inmate (Morgan Freeman), who teaches P.K. how to use his fists for some quick boxing moves. At 12, P.K. (now played by Simon Fenton), witnesses black inmates being cruelly humiliated by their racist white jailers. Taking note of P.K.'s fluidity for languages, his black mentor spreads the word that P.K. is the incarnation of the mythic Rain Maker, a messianic liberator who is destined to unite all the African tribes. By the time he's 18 years old, P.K. (now played by Stephen Dorff) is becoming the Great White Hope for the black Africans, boxing his way into their hearts and minds. He joins up with an old boxing foe (Alois Moyo), who is now a township activist, and takes up the apartheid struggle. But things get confusing when P.K. falls in love with the daughter (Fay Masterson) of an apartheid leader. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Richard Attenborough directed this dramatic story, based on actual events, about the friendship between two men struggling against apartheid in South Africa in the 1970s. Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) is a white liberal journalist in South Africa who begins to follow the activities of Stephen Biko (Denzel Washington), a courageous and outspoken black anti-apartheid activist. Woods and his wife Wendy (Penelope Wilton) get to know Biko, and they become friends, until Biko is brutally murdered at the hands of government troops in 1977 for his activities against the country's repression of the black majority population. Donald is shocked and appalled by Biko's murder and determined that the truth about Biko will become known to the world; eventually, Donald and Wendy Woods and their children must leave South Africa (and nearly everything they have) as they spread the word about Biko's life and death to ensure that he did not die in vain. Washington received an Academy Award nomination for his performance as Biko. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
