A worker releases a copper ingot from a mould at the Attero Recycling Pvt facility in the Raipur Industrial area of Bhagwanpur in Roorkee, Uttarkhand, India, on Monday, Oct. 7, 2013. Roughly 90 percent of electronic waste recycling in India is handled by the so-called unorganized sector, which is highly inefficient, puts workers' health and safety at risk, and is highly polluting.

An interesting layout of the process of critical thinking. Its only disadvantage is that it is likely useless for those who are fixated on a single idea and/or who cannot or will not be skeptical or think outside the box about said idea.
Sound familiar?

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
Fayetteville police Chief Harold Medlock didn't let anyone forget that Thursday is the day set aside each year to honor the 35 Cumberland County law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty since 1907.
"This one day, every year, we publicly recognize and remember those officers who have given their lives for their communities," said Medlock, who was the featured speaker for the annual Cumberland County Peace Officer Memorial Service.
Medlock, who took the helm of the city police department in February, spoke of sacrifices, not just of those who died doing their jobs, but also of the families left behind.
"We commit to you, we will never forget," said Medlock, looking at family members who sat in front of the Cumberland County Courthouse.
Each day, Medlock said, officers get up, put badges on their shirts or belts and come to work, never knowing whether they'll go home afterward.
"And yet they come," Medlock said of the officers. "Some call us crazy because we run to danger instead of running away."
That is part of the commitment to serving the community and protecting life and property that is a police officer's calling, he said.
"This one day, throughout this gathering, are those who remember those days, that one bad day, we remember where we were or what we were doing," Medlock said.
The ceremony included a 21-gun salute by Cumberland County Sheriff's Office deputies. Then, the heads of the law enforcement agencies represented, along with District Attorney Billy West, placed a wreath at a monument to honor fallen officers that stands in front of the Sheriff's Office.
Dixie Lowry Davis is the widow of Highway Patrol Sgt. Ed Lowry, who was shot to death in 1997.
Each year for 15 years, she has attended fallen memorial observances by the Highway Patrol and Cumberland County.
"It's like attending two funerals every year for the rest of my life," Davis said.
Although the services dredge up painful memories, Davis said, they help to remind people of the families left behind and the sacrifices that were made.
"We should never take for granted the risks taken by these law enforcement officers," said Jimmy Keefe, chairman of the Cumberland County commissioners, before reading a proclamation recognizing the service.
"Thank you for putting on your uniform every single day."
Cumberland Sheriff Moose Butler, Spring Lake Police Chief Troy McDuffie, Hope Mills Police Chief Joel Acciardo, Fayetteville Mayor Tony Chavonne and Col. Chad B. McRee, commander of the 16th Military Bridgade at Fort Bragg, also attended.
Other agencies represented included the state Alcohol Law Enforcement Agency and the Highway Patrol.

Monoceros' Official
One x One
About Me
Hi there. I've been on and off of this site for only a little while now, though I have been roleplaying for over 6 years. Sadly I have not been able to focus entirely on writing for the past year due to multiple reasons and have had to disappear more than once, taking ill-timed breaks that I know have left my partners peeved at me.
But right now my slate is rather clean and I want to try and show more discipline when it comes to roleplaying. Lately my hectic scheduling has kept my inspiration dry, but I'd like to give it another go.
So to the people who are patiently awaiting my return, I will have a message out to you within the day.
- Please be literate, use correct grammar, capitalization, and punctuation.
- I require that you post around three to four paragraphs per reply. I can write over a thousand words for a post, but I tend to give what I am given, and I like to have something to work with.
- Please be 18 or older. Sex is something that is required during my roleplays, though it is always tasteful to the plot and for the sake of the characters development.
- Romance is an absolute must, though it is never the slice of life kind and is never the driving force for a plot, so don't worry.
For me romance needs to be there in order for me to invest.- Roleplaying is something that I do in my free time, so I might not always reply every day. Give me at least two days before you give me a little nudge, and sometimes a little nudge is all I need to get me inspired again. If I'm feeling icky and don't think I can get something to you after those couple days, I will always let you know. All I ask is for a little bit of patience from you and the same in return, a little heads up will do.
- Don't make me do all of the work! Collaborating is one of my favorite parts of roleplaying, I enjoy getting to know my partner as we mold and create the world together. If we've done that, surprise me sometimes with a plot twist, don't make me steer the whole story by myself.
- I don't have very many limits and I tend to indulge the darker aspects of life. So don't be too faint of heart, I don't sugar coat anything, I like to keep things raw. Let me know your hard limits, I will keep them in mind or I will let you know that we wont work out.
I'm perfectly okay with; Domineering/dominant male figures (I prefer this type of male over any), gore, explicit language, drugs, alcohol, rape, violence, abusive relationships, etc etc- Lastly, label your message with a song title or lyric so that I know you've read the rules.
Pairings*Keep in mind that I only play female main characters (though I do bring in male side characters) the latter part of the pairing is my preferred role.* I have plot ideas | ❤ craving | ✘ I have a plot going and am not interested in another | ✓ I have a plot going and might want one more
brothers x the girl they share ✘
older man x young woman (large age gap ♥ )
soldier x civilian/prisoner ♥
mercenary/hired protection x human cargo/smuggled girl ✘
knight x princess/servant
married high ranking soldier x servant
spartan (Halo) x AI/human
assassin x thief/target/protege
Preferred Settings
Medieval (light fantasy, like Game of Thrones)
Dark ages
Post-Apocalyptic (infected, nuclear)
Modern (it's hard to convince me but I don't always mind for the more modern pairings)
Light sci-fi - futuristic (something along the lines of Halo/Firefly)
Private message me!

Friendly Fire - would you like it?

Mechwarriors traditionally, and I'm sure this one, too, have pretty informative targetting; I hit E, and a big red box appears around the nearest enemy. F, big blue or green box around nearest friendly. My missiles will only lock on an enemy. My targetting reticle turns green with a big X through it if I target a friendly. The mechs most certainly are NOT freerunning all over my crossfire, so that's out, too.
All that in mind, it is really hard to inadvertently hit a friendly. Therefore, nearly the only way you're going to do it is on purpose to troll. I don't feel like getting troll-shot when I'm fighting for territory. So, I'm against Friendly Fire in Mechwarrior Online.

Prosperity Park, on 04 June 2012 - 04:11 PM, said:
If they do implement friendly fire, they'll definitely have to punish trolls, no denying that.. but to punish them, someone has to report them, and you have to have proof, so that person has to have some video of it taking place and that detracts from the person playing the game, and punishment from on-high will almost certainly NOT be carried out within that round, or even likely that same day, leaving the person to d-bag away, and even if they are somehow blocked from enterance, it's a free-to-play game so they make a new account or what-have-you. Mechwarrior isn't quite like most FPS' where you've got ninja-footed people running around your map, popping around building corners and spooking you, so friendly fire from poor target acquisition can reasonably be expected to be a small-probability issue. Also, aiming systems in the mechs identify what's under your reticule, so that's working against accidental firing as well.
The ability to identify your target isn't so much a question of skill, given the conditions that have traditionally existed in Mechwarrior games, so much as it is a question of "do you have moderately functional mental faculties?" or "are you color blind?"
Punishing with cash and XP penalties aren't particularly important, either, since this is again a Free-to-play game and a person could make a dummy account and troll away, never leveling the character and thus never accruing losses. They've got nothing to lose!
Easier to just skip the whole mess, disable friendly fire at least for the first few months, and not bother the game's staff with complaints when they could be further developing their brand-spanking-new game and addressing bugs (inevitable at release).
Posted 05 June 2012 - 05:08 AM
Gzzz shoot thru 200 of your own guys to get 1 enemy....heck with that....let there be some realism in the game. LOL for a scifi game, LOL.

Is that more disruptive to the than firing your lasers through a hill, or being able to shift into third-person view and seeing what's on the other side of a ridge or building?
Don't get me wrong: I prefer friendly fire. But "computer won't let you harm FF-identified allies" is less of a stretch for me than "can see/shoot through hills".
Posted 05 June 2012 - 05:52 AM
Cannot shoot through hills
Can shoot through glass buildings
Cannot shoot through solid buildings
Griefers are going to grief, whether it's shooting a teammate, standing in front of friendlies so they can't shoot. Ramming them so they can't move and get destroyed etc etc.
Neutering the game for some abstract fear isn't going to help anyone. If you're going to turn friendly fire off, may as well turn off heat and ammo so everyone can just run around holding the fire button down and not worry about hurting their teammates.

Who remembers BF2 where you could be setting up AT mines at a critical location and some jerk speeds by in a jeep then punishes you for teamkill destroys your AT barrier then minutes later the enemy armour has driven through the gap and captured a VP.
At least if there was no way for them to punish me I can console myself with their idiotic self destruction however with punishment I am doubly injured for good team play.
I am dreading seeing morons in heavy or assault class mechs stomping right up to each other form both sides to point blank range punishing team mates for all the missiles landing on their backs which were launched prior to their change of location and proceeding to smash each other down rather than laying down the suppressing long range arcs of fire I would use my assaults to provide were I in command.
When you are a front line soldier death can come from any direction and once dead you can't really complain. It's a command control thing which is why I quit the Battlefield franchise when they ceased evolving command structure.

a) It shouldn't really hurt lore as a per-match enforced setting, since it's basically a loadout requirement.
When it's not enforced, it adds another strategic layer. Each option sacrifices a split-second of damage in favor of team safety, so it's basically the mech equivalent of a defensive stance.
c) It's easily self-correcting for griefers who try to AoE their way around it. Just make certain actions "recognized by the IFF" as hostile, allowing us to unload on the griefer while he's trying to line up unguided LRMs on us.
d) It opens up some really, really fun avenues for ECM later on.

Without it, we'll see an influx of people who don't manage their ammo and completely disregard what their team mates are doing. With it, fast mechs will have to pay attention to the heavier boys firing paths, and at the same time bigger guns will have to be aware of team members to prevent accidental lobotomies. It will allow fast mechs to encourage desperate enemies to friendly-fire, and will help to prevent slower mechs from emptying gauss rounds into teammates.

A chance to celebrate fellowship and a legacy
Archbishop José Gomez, Cardinal Roger Mahony and Santa Barbara Region Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Curry will be among a group of pilgrims from Los Angeles participating in the archdiocese's official pilgrimage to Ireland for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress next June.
Under the direction of Irish-born Father David Loftus, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes in Northridge, the June 13-22 pilgrimage begins in Dublin, the site of the Eucharistic Congress and All Hallows College Seminary, where Archbishop Gomez will preside at a June 16 Mass celebrating the contributions of Irish missionary clergy to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
"I don't think one parish in Los Angeles hasn't been touched by an Irish priest or sister," said Father Loftus.
The veteran pilgrimage leader says the itinerary gives pilgrims a chance to join in the Eucharistic Congress, celebrate the legacy of Irish missionaries who contributed to the growth of the vibrant faith of the Church in Los Angeles today, and view some of Ireland's most inspiring sites, including the internationally-recognized Marian Shrine of Our Lady of Knock.
"It's an historic and great opportunity to look at church in a different part of the world and join with people all over the globe gathering for one single event, the Eucharistic Congress," said Father Loftus.
Pilgrims will attend Congress events June 15-17, including a special Mass and Anointing of the Sick June 15 and the Closing Mass with pilgrims from all over the world at Dublin's Croke Park Stadium June 17.
In his written invitation to prospective pilgrims in the itinerary brochure, Archbishop Gomez said: "As Archbishop of Los Angeles, I look forward to making the pilgrimage to the Eucharistic Congress, and also to take the opportunity to honor and celebrate the magnificent contribution of Irish clergy and consecrated religious to the archdiocese."
Father Loftus notes that the pilgrimage also allows participants to tap into Ireland's ancient Christian experience of spirituality, with visits to monastic sites at Glendalough and Clonmacnoise as well as St. Brigit's small oratory at Kildare. Pilgrims will also gather to pray at Ballintubber Abbey, built next to the site of an earlier church founded by St. Patrick in the 5th century.
On June 19, pilgrims will visit Knock, where Our Lady, St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist appeared to 15 people at the south gable of Knock Parish Church on Aug. 21, 1879. Currently, more than 1.5 million pilgrims visit the Marian Shrine at Knock every year. "A lot of people experience an amazing sense of peace at Knock," said Father Loftus, who will celebrate Mass for the group at the gable wall.
Other highlights of the pilgrimage include visits to Ireland's west coast, with tours of Galway, the intriguing "Burren" limestone landscape and the famous Cliffs of Moher. The last full day of the pilgrimage, June 21, participants will travel to the Rock of Cashel, once the seat of the Kings of Munster, which St. Patrick visited in 450.

Bountiful's Lamplight Gallery will be celebrating the life and art of recently departed local artist Colleen Parker on Aug. 3 from 6-9 p.m. at the gallery. The event will include an exhibit of Parker's work, as well as a memorial from the artists who knew and worked with her.
"She was one of the finest women I've known," said Nora Del Murdock, a fellow artist and president of Lamplight. "I'll miss her."
Parker worked in a variety of mediums during the course of her career, though in recent years her focus had been on experimental art. She would alter monotypes with pen or ink, or cut them apart for collages. Monotoypes are a form of printmaking done on a smooth, non-absorbent surface.
The artist memorial is a large portrait of Parker created by the other artists at Lamplight. A photo of Parker was divided into several smaller sections, then photocopied and handed out to the artists.
The artists then painted, drew, sculpted or used photo elements to re-create the section of portrait in their own style.. At the event, the different sections will be re-assembled into one large composite portrait.
"It's a little offbeat," said Louise Shaw, a writer at the Clipper who has displayed her photographs at the gallery for the last several years. "But it's exactly the kind of thing Colleen would have loved."

TARP, Baby!
Explaining Paulson's plan better than Paulson.
Obama throws Scarlett Johansson under the bus!
"[S]peaking to reporters aboard his campaign plane, Obama said the actress doesn't have his personal email address. "She sent one email to Reggie, who forwarded it to me," Obama said, referring to his 26-year-old personal assistant, Reggie Love. "I write saying, 'thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship"
This seems inexplicably clumsy. Johansson's a supporter who helped make Obama a highly effective video. She probably thought she was helping Obama again when she told the press how impressed she was that he returned her "personal emails." ("I feel like I'm supporting someone, and having a personal dialogue with them, and it's amazing.") Surely there's a way to get across the point that she's just an occasional emailer without making her look like a fantasist. ... 8:50 A.M. link
Comprehensivist Down! In 2006, the primary victory of GOP Rep. Chris Cannon was offered by many pundits as comforting evidence that the immigration issue didn't have legs. After all, Cannon had supported "comprehensive" immigration reform--including legalization (i.e. semi-amnesty)--yet he survived in a conservative Utah district. Here's Michael Barone two years ago:
If Cannon had lost, House Republicans surely would have panicked and stonewalled any approach but border-security-only. But his victory -- and the fact that he ran ads with endorsements from George W. Bush, who supports a comprehensive bill -- indicates that his positions are not political death, even in a district that went 77 percent to 20 percent Republican in the 2004 presidential election
Well, yesterday Cannon lost-- to a fellow Republican who had no paid staff or polling but did attack Cannon's support of "amnesty." And Cannon lost by a large margin (60-40) primarily because he "failed to generate the kind of [Republican primary] turnout typically enjoyed by House incumbents." ...
Hmm. As if by eerie coincidence, John McCain has been having trouble generating the kind of popularity among Republicans typically enjoyed by Republican presidential candidates! And he's also been pushing "comprehensive" reform of late, potentially winning Latino support but further jeopardizing his GOP support. Kausfiles notes that there are more Republicans than Latinos. If McCain win's an extra 10% of Latino voters but loses an extra 10% of Republican voters, he loses, right? Maybe on his forthcoming trip to Mexico he will do the math. ... [Thx. to alert reader M.]
Update: The impulse in the respectable Washington MSM will be to downplay the impact of the immigration issue. But here's what the Daily Herald in Cannon's district thinks:
The most important issue may have been illegal immigration. For years, a segment of the GOP electorate has longed to punish Cannon over his past moderate stands. Cannon this year has pointed to numerous votes to improve border security. But that didn't seem to be enough to placate much of the electorate. One might theorize that voters' anxiety about immigration is so great that Cannon's more recent votes to fight illegal immigration only reminded voters of his original stands. The inescapable conclusion is that immigration is a more potent and durable issue than many political experts realize. [E.A.]

Andrew Dice Clay
, in 1990's forgettable

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a former Marine gunnery sergeant, whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), an ex-homicide detective who may come off as the world's oldest frat boy, but whose instincts in the field are unparalleled; forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), a talented scientist whose dark wit matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes, NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), a former Moussad agent who shares a bond with Gibbs over the death of his arch nemesis, Ari, the terrorist who killed former NCIS Special Agent Kate Todd. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), who knows it all because he's seen it all, and he's not afraid to let you know. Rounding out the team is NCIS director Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly) who has a romantic history with Gibbs. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties. The 19 episodes of Season 5 aired from 2007-8 on CBS.

Still not completely recovered from the serious injuries incurred during the near-apocalyptic Season Three finale of NCIS, Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) has at the outset of Season Four retired from his position as head of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service comprised of Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), Tim McGee (Sean Murray) and Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum). Now the team is under the command of hotheaded DiNozzo--but not for long. Emerging from his self-imposed exile when his coworker Ziva is placed in jeopardy in the season opener "Shalom", Gibbs has assumed command of the team by the next episode "Escape", and within a few weeks he's working at full throttle. However, despite the tantalizing revelations throughout Season Three, the intensely private Gibbs still remains something of an enigma to the other NCI-ers--a fact that proves most frustrating to the unit's director Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly, who also happens to be Gibbs' former lover. (Among the "clues" to Gibbs' former life this time around is the unexpected appearance of his sister Sarah, played by Troian Bellisario, daughter of series producer Donald P. Bellisario). Newcomers to the recurring-character roster this year included Scottie Thompson as Tony's girlfriend Jeanne Benoit, a DC-based doctor; and Susanna Thompson as Lt. Col. Hollis Mann, Gibbs' counterpart in the Army CID, with whom Gibbs implicitly begins a romance as the season winds down. Season Four concludes with the cliffhanging "Angel of Death", in which all the team members are ordered to take a Homeland Security polygraph tests. Can it be that the many secrets long withheld by Gibbs and his cohorts are at last to be exposed for the world to see? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

An elderly community handyman and notorious curmudgeon effectively isolates himself from his friends and neighbors by suing his lifelong best friend over a minor transgression in director Neal Miller's character-driven comedy drama. Flagg Purdy (Alan Arkin) is a cantankerous old coot who prides himself on principle. Despite Flagg's gruff exterior, his longtime wife, Ada (Barbara Dana), still cherishes her husband, and knows that his heart has always been in the right place. The pair's six grown children know too that their father has always meant well, even in times when his questionable parenting skills may have fallen a little on the heavy-handed side. One day, while playing his weekly game of checkers with friend and neighbor Gus Falk (Austin Pendleton), Flagg angrily accuses his nonplussed opponent of cheating. Though Gus is initially able to laugh off the accusation, the conflict soon escalates when Flagg storms into Gus' general store complaining that his friend's sheep have been relieving themselves a little too close to the well that supplies the Purdys' drinking water. When Gus retorts by pointing out that it is his well, and that the sheep are also his, the enraged Flagg responds by suing his neighbor. Though a surprise witness nets Flagg an unexpected win in the courtroom, the resulting effect that his litigious actions have on the family's already tenuous community relations soon leave his family in the lurch. Subsequently retiring to his "deathbed" and requesting the presence of his children before he bids the cruel and uncaring world a final farewell, Flagg is forced to consider that he may be more like his stubborn father than he would care to admit as, one by one, his offspring fail to bring their father back from the "brink." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Season Three of NCIs opens on a melancholy note, as the Naval Criminal Investigate Service team headed by the iconoclastic Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) mourns the death of team member Caitlin "Kate" Todd (Shana Alexander) at the hands of ruthless terrorist Ari (Rudolf Martin) (though actress Alexander had left the series, she would return in "ghostly" form once or twice). Gibbs' response to the loss is encapsulated in the title of the two-part season opener, "Kill Ari", which introduces Cote de Pablo as new NCI member Ziva David, a former Mossad officer who also has a score to settle with Ari. Another new regular is introduced in the episode "Silver War": Lauren Holly as NCIs director Jenny Shepard, who replaces former director Tom Morrow (Alan Dale) when the latter joins the Homeland Security department. Jenny's arrival adds a whole new dimension to the series, inasmuch as she had previously been the partner--and lover--of Leroy Gibbs. In addition to these newcomers, together with longtime series stalwarts Michael Weatherly (Tony DiNozzo), Pauley Perrette (Abigail Sciuto), Sean Murray (Tim McGee) and David McCallum (Donald "Ducky" Mallard), the third season also marks the debut appearances of recurring characters Stephanie Mello as Cynthia Summer and Muse Watson as Michael Franks. Throughout the season, the viewer is offered seconds-lasting flashbacks to the jealously guarded past of NCI team head Gibbs, culminating in the revelation that the first of his three wives was murdered, along with his daughter. This information comes to surface during the two-part finale "Hiatus", wherein Tony DiNozzo is put in charge of the team while Gibbs is recovering from a serious injury which may rob him of his memory--a tragedy that could not happen at a worse time, inasmuch as Gibbs is the only person who knows the modus operandi of a vicious terrorist group which threatens the lives of everyone whom the viewer cares about! Incidentally, there's a bit of benevolent nepotism afoot during NCI's third season. Appearing in key roles as Michael Bellisario and Troian Bellisario--the real-life offspring of series producer/creator Donald P. Bellisario. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Down and Derby
A handful of men begin behaving like children when their kids enter a Boy Scout competition in this family-friendly comedy. Ever since he was in fifth grade, Phil Davis (Greg Germann) has been coming in second place to Ace Montana (Marc Raymond) whenever they've been in some sort of competition together, and now that Phil and Ace are both middle-aged fathers, history seems to repeat itself when Brady (Adam Hicks), Phil's son, loses the city junior basketball championship to a team featuring Ace's boy. When Phil learns that Brady will be going up against Ace's son again in his Boy Scout troop's annual Pinewood Derby race, Phil decides it time to end the Davis family's losing ways once and for all, and with help from his childhood friends Blaine (Ross Brockley) and Jimmy (Perry Anzilotti), Phil sets out to build the perfect Pinewood derby car -- whether or not that's what Brady has in mind. Produced with the cooperation of the Boy Scouts of America, Down and Derby also stars Lauren Holly, Pat Morita, and Hunter Tylo. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The death of a troubled teen throws a suburban neighborhood into chaos in this darkly satirical comedy. Dean (Jamie Bell) is a disaffected teenager living in a California suburb that's beautiful on the surface but populated by families who live emotionally vacant lives, with the parents often too wrapped up in their own problems to pay attention to their children. One day, Dean discovers his best (and only) friend, Troy (Josh Janowicz), has killed himself. While Troy's mother (Glenn Close) hasn't figured out her son is dead just yet, Dean opts not to tell her, and besides, his own parents (William Fichtner and Allison Janney) don't appear very concerned. Dean, however, does have reason to worry -- Billy (Justin Chatwin), Lee (Lou Taylor Pucci), and Crystal (Camilla Belle) are three bullies who used to buy drugs from Troy, and they want Dean find Troy's remaining stash and give it to them. When Dean refuses to cooperate, the bullies decide to get tough and kidnap Dean's little brother; however, they end up taking the wrong child and Dean grudging finds himself trying to rescue a child he doesn't know. Meanwhile, as the adults in the neighborhood begin to emotionally implode, "the Chumscrubber" becomes a common presence in town -- a comic book and video game character represented by a decapitated post-apocalyptic teenager who has become an unavoidable pop-culture icon. The Chumscrubber also features Ralph Fiennes, Carrie-Anne Moss, John Heard, and Rita Wilson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A longtime comedian who has repeatedly failed to break big finds his one last shot at stardom thwarted by his toughest crowd yet in director Pete Schwaba's tale of love and failure on the standup circuit. Despite being singled out for stardom early on in his comedy career, L.A. comic Joe Keegan (Schwaba) never really managed to find his footage in the ultra-tough world of show business. Informed by his best friend, Kenny (Lance Barber), that Tonight Show talent scout Harvey Skoric will be attending the upcoming "Rocktober" festival in Pine Lake, WI, Joe reluctantly decides to take a break from the West Coast and pull out all the stops for one final all-or-nothing audition. Initially dejected when his set is sabotaged by local emcee Dug (Thomas Lennon), Joe finds inspiration in the form of his former high-school English teacher Molly Mahoney (Lauren Holly), herself attempting to overcome the recent pains of a failed marriage. Concerned that he may have been wasting his life but convinced by Molly that he has simply been living his dream, Joe takes the stage once again to face a formidable crowd filled with hunters, Packers fans, and former high-school football star-turned-drug dealer Big Jake Norquist (Tony Goldwyn) -- the so-called "Godfather of Green Bay," who also has eyes for the lovely Molly. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Lauren Holly, Lacey Chabert, Billy Zane, Angus Macfadyen, and Meatloaf all star in Cube 2 director Adrzej Sekula's darkly comic tale of interconnecting lives. The setting is the City of Angels, the players: a deranged kidnapper, a ruthless lesbian assassin, a sociopath call-girl, and a demented cult leader. Daphne (Holly) is an empathetic caregiver who has been tending to the needs of sever head-trauma patient Tom (Angelo Spizzirri). Tom's father is the head of a highly-profitable cult-like church. Though the shady religious sect proves highly profitable, it turns out that the greedy guru has been keeping most of the profits to himself while paying Daphne such a meager wage that she isn't even able to afford Tom's medicine. Frustrated after being refused a raise by the mysterious religious fanatic, Daphne eventually resorts to kidnapping Tom's mentally deficient sister (Steffany Huckaby) as a means of raising the funds needed to care for her helpless patient. Meanwhile, after a neurotic college professor (MacFadyen) is abandoned by his wife for another woman, he sets out on the road with a sexy student (Chabert) who's willing to do whatever it takes to maintain her GPA. When cold-blooded killer Marcy (Jill Bennett) is hired to take out Daphne and put an end to the well-intended kidnapping plot, all three stories come crashing together through a series of shocking coincidences. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Caught in the Act
Southern housewife Jodie Colter (Lauren Holly) suspects that her loutish hubby Buck (Max Martini) is cheating on her, and hires a seedy private detective to gather evidence.

Set in Tennessee, but filmed in Belgium (!), the made-for-cable Caught in the Act premiered over the Lifetime network on May 10, 2004, presumably as a pilot for a proposed series starring the estimable Lauren Holly. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A woman endures the painful birth of her child. Two doctors argue about the ethics of saving the horribly malformed child's life. Years later, a nurse is found brutally tortured and murdered, hundreds of syringes plunged into her, and Buckley Clarke (Lauren Holly), a tough homicide cop, is assigned the case. The victim's brother, Sam Brown (Robert Patrick), is a reclusive wilderness tracker living in Alaska. He gets word of the crime and goes to San Francisco to undertake his own investigation. At first, Clarke is dismissive of Brown, but she's soon forced to acknowledge his skill at finding clues and tracking his prey; seeing that she can't get rid of him anyway, she allows him to participate in the investigation. Soon, other victims turn up in similar conditions, and the FBI becomes involved, convinced that there's a serial killer on the loose. But Clarke eventually realizes that the victims are not being chosen at random. They all share a terrifying connection. Despite their disparate backgrounds, Clarke and Brown grow increasingly attracted to one another as they combine their talents to determine the killer's identity. But the killer soon learns that the intrepid pair is closing in, and the hunters become the prey. Pavement was directed by Darrell James Roodt (Cry, the Beloved Country) from a script by Charles Hansen. The film was shot in Cape Town, South Africa. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear is transplanted to 19th century Texas in this made-for-cable drama. Patrick Stewart stars as John Lear, the wealthiest and most powerful rancher in the territory. Failing in body and mind, Lear decides to divide his vast property among his three daughters -- Suzannah (Marcia Gay Harden), Rebecca (Lauren Holly), and Claudia (Julie Cox) -- giving the most land to the girl who most persuasively professes her love and loyalty. While her mercenary sisters fawn all over John, the headstrong Claudia refuses to feed false compliments to her father, and as a result, she is banished from his ranch. But when Lear's spread is threatened by usurpers and landgrabbers, the enfeebled patriarch realizes that Claudia is the only one of his offspring truly worthy of his affection. All of the Shakespearean highlights are intact, albeit retranslated within the genre expectations of the Western. For example, Lear's blinding is done with a branding iron. An uneasy mixture of British theatricality and John Ford-like cinematic spectacle, King of Texas (filmed in Mexico despite its title) originally aired June 2, 2002, on the TNT cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A shared affliction -- namely, breast cancer -- forges an unlikely friendship between two Southern women, ebullient young Amber Collins (Lauren Holly) and crabby, reclusive oldster Betty Miller (Faye Dunaway). As they join forces to battle and cope with their disease, Amber and Betty also end up helping one another with their respective romantic entanglements. Tom Skerritt is cast as Betty's faithless former flame, Johnny Pinkley (now the self-styled Lothario of a nursing home), while Ian Somerhalder plays Amber's troubled -- and much younger -- amour Jason Kelly. Daniel Wright adapted the script of this independently produced movie from his own award-winning play Colored Eggs (the film's working title), retaining the original's sizeable supporting cast of lovable eccentrics. Decked out with musical highlights by Rita Coolidge, Earl and Randy Scruggs, Jan Howard, and Jeannie Seely, Changing Hearts was given scattered theatrical release in 2002 before it was picked up for TV play by the Lifetime cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Master animation director Hayao Miyazaki follows up on his record-breaking 1997 opus Princess Mononoke with this surreal Alice in Wonderland-like tale about a lost little girl. The film opens with ten-year-old Chihiro riding along during a family outing as her father races through remote country roads. When they come upon a blocked tunnel, her parents decide to have a look around -- even though Chihiro finds the place very creepy. When they pass through the tunnel, they discover an abandoned amusement park. As Chihiro's bad vibes continue, her parents discover an empty eatery that smells of fresh food. After her mother and father help themselves to some tasty purloined morsels, they turn into giant pigs. Chihiro understandably freaks out and flees. She learns that this very weird place, where all sorts of bizarre gods and monsters reside, is a holiday resort for the supernatural after their exhausting tour of duty in the human world. Soon after befriending a boy named Haku, Chihiro learns the rules of the land: one, she must work , as laziness of any kind is not tolerated; and two, she must take on the new moniker of Sen. If she forgets her real name, Haku tells her, then she will never be permitted to leave. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

In response to the public's insatiable fascination with the Kennedy family, the NBC network brought forth this two-part miniseries, based on a book by Randy Taraborelli. Described by the author as "Knot's Landing goes to Capitol Hill," Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot covers a time span of 25 years, from the marriage of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier to the 1980 presidential bid of JFK's brother Teddy. To many observers, the film seemed to consist primarily of TV news bulletins announcing various and sundry Kennedy tragedies, punctuated by long, long discussions between the wives of JFK, Bobby, and Teddy regarding their husbands' various infidelities. Some of the intrigues are based on fact, notably the uneasy relationship between Jackie and Bobby's wife Ethel, and the drinking problems shared by Teddy and his wife Joan. Other segments, however, fall back on rumor and hearsay, notably the scenes involving Marilyn Monroe. At the very least, the three actresses chosen to play the title roles -- Jill Hennessy (Jackie), Lauren Holly (Ethel), and Leslie Stefanson -- looked, sounded, and behaved exactly like their real-life counterparts. Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot originally aired on March 4 and March 5, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Last Producer stars Burt Reynolds (who also directed) as burned-out Hollywood movie mogul Sonny Wexler. Once the fair-haired boy of Tinseltown, Wexler finds himself
persona non grata
in a city now run by younger, leaner, hungrier, and more ruthless studio CEOs. In a last-ditch comeback effort, Sonny tries to purchase a script from a novice scrivener that bids fair to be the hottest property in years. Unfortunately, the hero may be beaten to the punch by a nasty upstart executive who will stop at nothing -- not even murder -- to get his hands on the script. Most of the film is devoted to Sonny's frantic efforts to raise the necessary 50,000 dollars from his alleged friends, his estranged family members, and a handful of raffish-looking types with mob connections. And believe it or not, this is a comedy. Evidently intended for theatrical release, The Last Producer made its first appearance via the home-video market in Europe in 2000. The film was not widely shown in America until its USA Network cable-TV debut on February 6, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Technical Committees
Performance of Generating Plant (PGP)
This well-established and internationally recognised Committee works on improving power plant performance worldwide. Market structures, technologies, environmental standards, and other factors are changing the way the electricity sector operates and are posing new challenges for power plant operators around the world. New strategies, greater collaboration within the industry, and new tools are required to make it possible to collect, analyse, and leverage plant performance initiatives.
The Committee's main objective is to promote international data exchange and best practices for generating plant performance and to achieve the most effective use of generation assets and energy resources worldwide. The new generating plant performance indicators database is at the centre of the process.
Energy Efficiency Policies and Indicators (EEI) in partnership with ADEME
The recent developments in the global energy sector, including the rising prices and the mounting concerns about security of supply and the environment, are leading to the growing interest in improving efficiency of energy use throughout the entire value chain.
The main objective of the Committee work is to promote and support development, introduction and implementation of energy efficiency policies around the world taking into account the international experience, including the evaluation of the impact of energy efficiency policies and measures on the actual energy efficiency performance of national economies, industries and other economic activities and various consumer groups.
Cleaner Fossil Fuel Systems (CFFS) : in partnership with US DOE
Given the growing concerns about the environmental performance of fossil fuels, it is imperative to find ways for deployment of cleaner and more efficient fossil fuels combustion technologies. Cleaner systems mitigate the adverse consequences of the use of fossil fuels and permit their positive qualities to be more fully harnessed for economic and social development.
The Committee promotes the understanding and knowledge worldwide of the strategic role of fossil fuels in meeting the growing energy demand and securing energy supplies, focusing in particular on the existing and emerging technologies for cleaner use of fossil fuels.
