OXFORD, MISS. -- It is hard to imagine the events of Sept. 30, 1962, happening on American soil.
Spurred by Mississippi's flamboyant segregationist Gov. Ross Barnett, an estimated 2,000 students and outsiders, many of them armed, stormed the University of Mississippi to block James Meredith, the first African American student admitted to Ole Miss., from attending class.
President John F. Kennedy sent some 300 federal marshals and 30,000 troops to restore peace to the university and the town of Oxford, and uphold a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing Meredith to be admitted. Two people died, including a French journalist, and at least 300 were injured.
Monday, Oct. 1, marked the 50th anniversary of Meredith's first day as a student at Ole Miss, and the culmination of "50 Years of Integration: Opening the Closed Society", a year-long celebration of the university's integration.
A speech by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, a candlelit prayer walk, tributes to the U.S. Marshals, the U.S. Army, and to Meredith himself, who graduated the next year, marked the historical passing, as did a speech by entertainer and activist Harry Belafonte.
"I am thankful beyond words for the U.S. Marshal Service keeping my father alive so that I could have these last 50 years with him, and his grandchildren could know and love him as more than just words in a history book," said John Meredith, 52 , his voice wavering for a moment, as the gray-haired men looked on.
Today, Ole Miss is a mix of fresh-faced students rushing back and forth to classes seemingly oblivious to the past. Its student body president is an African-American woman and a member of Phi Mu, a white sorority. The school just elected its first African-American homecoming queen.
Long gone are its Confederate flag and Colonel Rebel mascot, replaced with the Ole Miss Black Bear. Today stands the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, named after the former governor who was honored with a Profile in Courage Award from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Foundation.
"I think that was a lesson we may not have been able to learn, but for the violence at Ole Miss," said Winter, 89, an Ole Miss alumnus, talking of "responsible" white Southerners.
Whatever might be said of Ole Miss, arguably no academic institution has had so far to travel.
As one who experienced the hatred as a student from 1980-1984, and participated in peaceful protests and sit-ins decrying the Confederate flag as the university symbol, I can tell you the process was painful and gut wrenching. Threats against the school's first black cheerleader, a curfew, visits to Oxford by the Ku Klux Klan in support of the flag, were all mileposts on the journey prompting the university to choose a new direction.
A peace and freedom, which many believed impossible, exists today. How this happened is a lesson in the leadership and moral courage of students, faculty and university leaders, black and white, who ultimately transformed an institution.
At Ole Miss the past and the present are intertwined like few places in America, from the statue of the Confederate soldier in the center of the campus, to the statue of Meredith behind the Lyceum, the administration building that took fire during those riots 50 years ago.
The Winter Institute is housed in Vardaman Hall, named after James K. Vardaman, elected Mississippi's governor in 1903, and later a U.S. senator. Vardaman was crystal clear on the subject of race: "If it is necessary, every Negro in the state will be lynched; it will be done to maintain white supremacy."

These dishes chip extremely easily. I have been using my set a few months, and most have at least a small chip on them. Even with care, they chip way too easily. Don't waste your money.

we had this set for 2 weeks and 7 of the dishes chipped. Don't waste your money on pfaltzgraff unless it is stoneware dishes. you have less than 30 days to return the complete set. If this was a stoneware set it would have been perfect. very disapointed

Rated 1 out of 5 by lejohnson I wish the quality were as good as the look.
I have a set of Pfaltzgraff Christmas dishes that are more than 20 years old without chips or broken pieces. They are used daily for about 6 weeks a year. I have three children the youngest is 12. When I decided to replace my everyday dishes I looked for several years before I chose this pattern. I like my dishes full of color and variety - not easy to find. I think the pattern is unique and beautiful so I am very sad that the dishes chip and crack easily. I wanted to have these dishes for years, but I think I will be lucky to have 5 of my 16 place settings in 5 years. Please do not waste your money on this beautiful, but worthless pattern. I am on year three right now.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Katie144 Chips
I have the same experience as everyone else. Within the first couple of months owning a service for 8 in this pattern, I had 3 bowls and 1 plate chip. The bowls are chipped on the rim on the outside, and the plates are chipped on the top at the edge. But I have now owned these plates for 3 years and only one more plate has chipped.
Customer service was great when I had 2 bowls delivered broken. They replaced them right away with minimal hassle.
Overall, don't buy unless you don't mind chipped dishes.

Do not purchase this dinner ware. It chips along the rim when it is put into the dishwasher. All the pieces chip very easily with everyday use. The pattern is nice but this set is not worth the money if it doesn't hold up to everyday use.

will beat in vain against our coats of mail if we but judge aright. But whatever we do let us preserve untarnished that Constitution we have so solemnly promised to obey and support. Fanaticism may for a time raise a clamor about our ears, but it will howl in vain. The people of Indiana, or a large majority at least, are not bigots. Let us stand as brave men with strong arms and stout hearts and breast the storm that would shiver our Constitution. Let us never forget its teachings nor its lessons. Let us be true and mindful of everything it contains, and follow its directions in all things upon which it speaks. Let us but do our duty and trust to God for the consequences.
Mr. Speaker, I have expressed my views upon this great question, great in its inception, great in its growth and great at its maturity. It is a question which arouses passion, incites envy, beget jealousies and rivalries, distracts neighborhoods and communities. It is a Pandora's box of evils, and even were it a thousand fold worse than it is, and the requirements of the Constitution had been followed, I should have page: 113[View Page 113] hesitated before voting against a proper submission of it at a general election. As it is I do not consider any question before us on any amendment, said to be "referred" to this General Assembly by the last one, and so shall cast my vote I am now, as I always have been, opposed to prohibition, because I believe the principle wrong and unjust.
Mr. HUSTON said: We have had this matter discussed from a legal standpoint, but I propose to discuss it from the standpoint of a citizen of Indiana. It is not for lawyers alone to decide whether or not this question is properly entered, but the people of the State will take this matter in their own hands and decide. Why was this amendment introduced? It was because 46,000 voters of the State requested it that it was introduced. It seems to me, Mr. Chairman, that this matter has been fully discussed. The press throughout the State, for the last three or four weeks, has been teeming with the considerition of these resolutions. I do not suppose that any argument could change one vote. I think that every member has decided how he will vote. I say, however, that this is not a party question, and that it was not introduced as a party question.
On motion, the Committee rose, reported progress and asked leave to sit again.
The report was concurred in by the House and then the House adjourned.

I'm running a heavily modded Lyen EB318 controller (details here http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33847 and )
I also added a piece of 12 gauge copper wire in parallel with the shunt which dropped it down to around 0.5xx mOhm. The controller expects to see a 1.5 mOhm shunt from what I can tell. Directly from Lyen it comes with 3 shunts and I calculated my shunt at 1.2xx mOhms so I needed to set my battery/phase amps a little lower than desired when programming.
I've read that after modding the shunt you get a stronger regen, but that's not the case for me. I'm still only getting about 15A of regen after doing the shunt mod for other troubleshooting purposes. On the EB2XX controllers this worked so these new EB3xx controllers must be using a different measurement method. I have tested this on both a 9C 2806 and a Croatian Hubzilla motor.
I know when I was playing around with the EB2XX boards there seemed to be a connection between the battery amps and phase amps but I'm not as familiar with them on here as others. It appears to me modding the shunt and changing the battery current setting on the EB3xx boards has no bearing on the phase amp setting and they are completely independent of one another.
My current setup is running 60A battery and 100A phase which means I'm programmed for 20A battery 100A phase 1:5 ratio and now my take offs are much smoother and have scary torque. I haven't tried higher battery amps settings yet to see how this is effected but will post back when I do. I do know that at 100A battery 80A phase it pulls really hard but has a little stutter on take off until about 10mph if I'm not gentle on the throttle. I'm going to try upping the battery current to 100A (programmed for 33A) while keeping the phase current at 100A (programmed for 100A) and see if this changes.
Anyone care to speculate?

CNN Chief National Correspondent John King told CNN's "New Day" that Ryan, the Republican chairman of the House Budget Committee, "said something to the effect of, 'Look, we know you don't like our position, we know you probably don't respect our position, but we're the Republican majority.' "
Those comments changed the tone of the meeting, King said. Obama reiterated his opposition to negotiations before the government reopens, then urged GOP leaders to go ask their colleagues what they want done to make that happen.
Republican Rep. Steve Southerland of Florida said the interaction between the two men -- who squared off in the 2012 election, when Ryan ran as his party's vice presidential nominee -- "was an important part of the conversation."
"Paul and the president certainly have a past through the last election, and I think there's a great respect between them. And you can't make that up," Southerland said.
The new atmosphere was reflected in both sides' comments after the meeting. The White House called it good and said the parties discussed "potential paths forward." GOP Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky said they were talking "in good faith" about both the debt and reopening the government.
"We're all working together now," said Rep. Pete Sessions, a Texas Republican.
In a video message to a right-wing political summit on Friday, Ryan noted conservatives can't get everything they want with Democrats holding the White House and a majority of the Senate.
"This president won't agree to everything we need to do," said the message from Ryan, according to excerpts provided by one of his aides. "A budget agreement with this president and this Senate won't solve our problems. But I hope it's a start."

Book Review of "Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's Tenth-century Baghdadi Cookbook" by Nawal Nasrallah
Kaouthar Chatioui[1] and Cem Nizamoglu[2]
Review of Annals of the Caliphs' Kitchens: Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's Tenth-century Baghdadi Cookbook. English Translation with Introduction and Glossary by Nawal Nasrallah. Leiden: BRILL, (Islamic History and Civilization) (Hardcover), 2007. ISBN-10: 9004158677 - | ISBN-13: 978-9004158672. Edition: Bilingual, 867 pages.
Fig. 1: Front cover of Annals of the Caliphs' Kitchens (Brill, 2007).
Written nearly a thousand years ago, the cookbook Kitab al-tabikh of Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq is the most comprehensive work of its kind. Including more than 600 recipes from the luxurious cuisine of medieval Islam, the book is also a rare guide to the contemporary culinary culture. Its numerous anecdotes and poems unfold the role of food in the politics of Islam's golden era.
The book was recently edited and translated into English, with introduction, notes and glossary by Nawal nasrallah under the entertaining title Annals of the Caliphs' Kitchens: Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's Tenth-century Baghdadi Cookbook (Brill, 2007). This publication introduces to the interested reader a thorough survey of the period and its food culture. An extensive glossary, in Arabic and English, of medieval ingredients and dishes, and an appendix of historical figures provide the necessary reference tools for this work. Making this key resource available in English for the first time to scholars and the general reader fills a gap in the cultural history of the Medieval Islam.
Massive, impressive and marvellous are some of the adjectives that come to mind when attempting to describe this book. For the first time we can hold in our hands an English translation of the complete text of the Kitab al-Tabikh (Book of Dishes or Book of Cookery) a cookery book by Ibn Sayya'r al-Warraq. This means that 600 plus recipes dating from the tenth century are now available. This edition is drawn from and cross-checked through the three surviving manuscripts which are located in England, Helsinki, and Istanbul.
Fig 2: Two pages from the ms of Kitab al-tabikh in the National Library of Finland (Source).
In translation, the work begins on page 65 of this volume and extends through page 519. This results in 455 pages of recipes for dishes ranging from stews, cold and hot poultry dishes, dips and sauces, boiled dishes, porridges, vegetables, fried dishes, roasted kid and other meats, puddings, pastries, confections, and beverages. The text also includes discussions of the utensils needed, the spices, food for the elderly and very young, the humours, numerous food poems, manners and decorum. Footnotes abound to guide the reader and point out differences between the texts.
The editor and translator Nawal Nasrallah includes a comprehensive introduction, glossary of Arabic to English and English to Arabic terms, an appendix of important people and places mentioned in the text, and works cited. A full range of five sub-divided indexes, including an ingredients index and a separate index for prepared foods and drinks, compliments the text. The medical terms, recipes, and advice are in yet another index.
In sum, this is a volume to treasure and honour with a place on the shelves of anyone seriously interested in food and culinary history. In her Preface, the editor writes that she was most concerned with accuracy and readability. She seems to have accomplished her aims in this fascinating volume.
Fig 3: Two editions of Kitab al-Tabikh [The Book of Cookery] by Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-Karim al-Katib al-Baghdadi (d. 1240): (a). Edited by Dawud al-Jalabi. Al-Musil: Matba'at Umm al-Rabi'ayn, 1934. The author, a native of Baghdad, Iraq and an ardent food lover, wrote his book towards the end of the Abbasid Caliphate. In the recipes he mentions, he describes the different foods and dishes used to be prepared by the residents of Baghdad during the era of its opulence. The manuscript of this book is an autograph which the author finished on 20 Dhu al-Hijjah, 623 Hijri (12 December, 1226); b) Kitab al-Tabikh [The Book of Cookery] by Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Katib al-Baghdadi (d. 1240), reprint of Dawud al-Jalabi edition (published in 1934 by Matba'at Umm al-Rabi'ayn in Mosul, by Fakhri al-Barudi. Beirut : Dar al-Kitab al-Jadid, 1964 (Source).
Abu Muhammad al-Muzaffar ibn Nasr ibn Sayyar al-Warraq of Baghdad was the compiler of a tenth-century cookbook, Kitab al-?abi? (The Book of Dishes). This is the earliest cookbook to be known in Arabic.

She gave a number of lectures, presentations, and demonstrations on the ancient Mesopotamian and medieval Baghdadi cuisine, as well as modern Iraqi cooking in Bloomington, Indiana, and Boston, Massachusetts.
Nasrallah produced a television program entitled "Baking with the Ancient Mesopotamians and Much More" on the ancient Sumerian flat tannur bread that is still being cooked to this day. She won second-place prize for "Milk on the Menu" cooking contest arranged by Gourmet Magazine, February 1997, and won first prize of the 1998 annual Holiday Cookie Bake-off in Bloomington, Indiana, and nationally under the aegis of Gourmet Magazine.

Blackboard has changed its Mobile Learn App. Previously, the app was only available on iOS devices and Sprint phones, but with now all iOS and Android devices will be able to use the app. HOWEVER, it will now cost $1.99/year or $5.99/life. The actual app download is free, but once you start using the app it will prompt you to pay. To use the app is completely voluntary, and Blackboard can still be accessed through your device's browser. Another note is that if you use multiple devices of the same operating system (such as iPhone and iPad) you will not have to pay extra, but if you use a combination (iOS and Android), you will have to pay twice. Also note that no other operating systems are supported as of yet. For more information, see Blackboard's Mobile Website.

Okay, maybe this job isn't so bad after all. When a beautiful Italian girl walks into your office with a wine from Sicily and is made from Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it sparks my interest.in the wine. We're funny that way. Sicily used to be the low end on the ladder of Italian wines; cheap, high alcohol, rough and red. Little by little the estates figured out that unless they improved their wines, they would never be able to sell their wines for more than their production costs. It has only taken ten years to turn centuries of ridicule into the most exciting wine area in Italy. Sicily is one of Europe's oldest viticultural regions, yet still offers many pleasant surprises. Its oenological history is an ancient one, dating from the time when the island was part of Magna Graecia. One usually associates fine wines with western Sicily or the areas near Mount Etna, but many new wineries have sprung up across the island. Sicilian wine culture is not just varietals; their vintage wines are a magical creation. Many of the island's traditional wines and spirits are famous far beyond its shores; several boast denomination of origin (appellation). Sicily has its own table and dessert wines and quite a few regional liqueurs. The magic is in the fertile soil and Sicily's long, cloudless summers with virtually no rain until harvest in late August. In fact, these are the two factors which make Sicilian vintages remarkably consistent from year to year. A number of small wineries have emerged in recent years, but in many cases they have been producing wine for decades. These wineries now produce some of Sicily's best wines. This wine is a revelation. If you had tasted this wine 10 years ago and told us it came from Sicily, we would have had you committed. Now our commitment is to get as much as possible. We suggest you think about doing the same. This selection has intensely bright fruit covered with hints of leather, cocoa and rich soil that would blast through a prime aged rib eye like a Shun blade. May Limited Series Newsletter (.pdf)

The English Patient

Anthony Minghella wrote and directed this award-winning adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's novel about a doomed and tragic romance set against the backdrop of World War II. In a field hospital in Italy, Hana (Juliette Binoche), a nurse from Canada, is caring for a pilot who was horribly burned in a plane wreck; he has no identification and cannot remember his name, so he's known simply as "the English Patient," thanks to his accent. When the hospital is forced to evacuate, Hana determines en route that the patient shouldn't be moved far due to his fragile condition, so the two are left in a monastery to be picked up later. In time, Hana begins to piece together the patient's story from the shards of his memories; he's actually Count Laszlo Almasy (Ralph Fiennes), of Hungarian nobility and an explorer working with a group mapping uncharted territory in North Africa. An Englishman, Geoffrey Clifton (Colin Firth), soon joins Almasy's team; travelling with him is his lovely and spirited wife, Katherine (Kristin Scott Thomas). Katherine and Laszlo soon fall in love, which leads Laszlo to betray his friend, his country and all that is dear to him. Meanwhile, Hana and the Patient are joined by Kip (Naveen Andrews), a Sikh with a gift for defusing mines, and Caravaggio (Willem Dafoe), an intelligence agent who knows some of Laszlo's most shameful secrets. The English Patient won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress (Juliette Binoche). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Noted French filmmaker Demy's wife Agnes Varda helmed this intensely personal tribute to her late husband. It is her third such tribute and is the only one to look deeply into Demy's vision as a director and his filmmaking techniques. To do so, she uses perfectly preserved film clips from each of the director's works and interviews with those who knew and loved him. Those interviewed include actress Catherine Deneuve, actress Anouk Aimee, actor Michel Piccoli, composer Michel Legrand, his own children and others, including female fans whose lives where influenced by his work. Also included are intimate home movies of him during a visit by Francois Truffaut and the late Jim Morrison. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Yeung Fan writes and directs this melodrama about Rose (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), a beautiful orphaned teenager who has boys pursuing her by the boatload. When she decides to study in France, her overly protective brother Charles (Chow Yun-fat) begs her to return to Hong Kong. Instead, she marries one of her fellow students and eventually has a daughter. Later, Charles dies of a long painful illness. Grief-stricken, Rose gets a divorce and returns to her family home. One day, she meets Ga-ming, who is the spitting image of Charles (and who is also played by Chow). A passionate, if creepy, relationship ensues only to be complicated by the return of an old flame from her school days. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Un Delitto
When a wealthy, elderly woman and an unknown stranger are murdered in the same small village on the same night, the judge who is charged with investigating the deaths begins to suspect that a new arrival in the village is connected to the crime. The only serious obstacle to chasing down that possibility is that this new arrival is a Catholic priest. This three-hour crime drama was intended as a television miniseries, and so when watched from beginning to end without interruption, tedium takes over. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Proof of the success of French filmmaker Edouard Molinaro is the fact that several of his home-grown hits have been remade as American films. The most recent example of this is 1996's The Birdcage, a highly profitable reworking of Molinaro's La Cage aux Folles (1978). The director's 1973 comedy A Pain in the A... also went the Cage aux Folles route of enjoying worldwide popularity, then undergoing an Americanization process. In the Molinaro original, Lino Ventura plays a friendless hit man who holes up in an Italian hotel room, awaiting the opportunity to knock off his target, a mob witness. No sooner has Ventura drawn a bead on his would-be victim than he is interrupted by the comically suicidal Jacques Brel, who wants to jump from the open window in the assassin's room. The banter and byplay between Ventura and Brel is priceless, especially when veering towards the "sick" humor that Molinaro handles so well. Based on a play by Francis Veber, Pain in the A... was remade by Billy Wilder as Buddy Buddy (1978), with Walter Matthau as the hit man and Jack Lemmon as his unexpected guest. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Psychout for Murder
Sexual situations abound throughout this Italian/English language film, which uses many quickly shown images (montage) to further the mood and the story. Nino Castelnuovo is Mario, the boyfriend from hell, who consigns his girlfriend Licia (Adrienne La Russa) to a whorehouse for an evening in order to get the photographic goods with which to blackmail her father (Rossano Brazzi). To get her out of the way, Licia is then consigned to a mental hospital by her father. When she goes genuinely insane, she is released. Revenge for all this mistreatment is the order of the day. No one escapes Licia's tricks as she uses sex, psychological torture and murder to get even. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Un Esercito di Cinque Uomini
Five Man Army can best be described as a marked-down Magnificent Seven. Peter Graves, James Daly, Bud Spencer, Testuro Tamba and Nino Castelnuovo play the quintet of the title. Caught in the middle of the 1914 Mexican Revolution, the five men pool their individual skills in hopes of incapacitating the enemy. With Mission: Impossible star Graves in the lead, it's only natural that the plan involves the "impossible" task of relieving a nasty general of a large gold shipment. Set in Mexico but filmed in Italy, this spaghetti western was bankrolled by MGM, the same folks who brought you the popular The Dirty Dozen and who were undoubtedly hoping that lightning would strike twice. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This obscure film is directed by five well-known cinematographers. "Apathy" is directed by Carlo Lizzani and concerns a New York rape victim whose cries for help fall on deaf ears. Bernardo Bertolucci directs "Agony." Members of the Living Theater mime death scenes. In "The Paper Flower Sequence," directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, a man carries a paper flower through Rome. Part four is directed by Jean-Luc Godard, a tedious segment where two people watch some actors give a boring performance. The last story is directed by Marcello Bellochio. Students at a Roman university engage in dialogue with members of the Establishment. While the stories averages 20 minutes each, this gang-directed effort quickly fell into cinematic oblivion. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

The literal translation of this title is Certain, Very Certain, As a Matter of Fact...Probable. This indeed was the title by which this trivial Italian comedy was known during its limited American release. The star is international glamour plate Claudia Cardinale, improbably cast as a telephone switchboard operator. It is believable that Cardinale is using her job as a means to trap a man for herself. When she is stood up by her first conquest, Cardinale teams with Catherine Spaak to romance and fleece eligible rich bachelors (and a few wealthy husbands) up and down the European continent. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Les Creatures
French New Wave filmmaker Agnes Varda writes and directs the intellectual drama Les Creatures. Michel Piccoli plays a novelist who gets in a severe car accident. He is injured and his wife (Catherine Deneuve) is rendered mute. They move to a small village on an island in order to recuperate, and for the husband to write his novel. He uses characters based on the townsfolk on the island. He meets a young man (Jacques Charrier) who is building a machine. They play chess and engage in a violent fight. The wife gives birth and regains her speech, and it is apparent that the young man only existed in the husband's imagination. The conclusion involves a futher distortion of fantasy and reality as the writer finishes his novel. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

La Cintura di Castita
This romantic and sometimes ribald historical farce finds nobleman Guerrando (Tony Curtis) knighted in the days before the Crusades. He inherits a castle, tax-collecting rights, first choice of all the fair young maidens of the region, and a draft notice from the King. Boccadoro (Monica Vitti) is the liberal-minded forest woman who catches the eye of the young nobleman. Courtship, love and marriage follows, but the wedding night is interrupted by a call to arms. Guerrando and Boccadoro are unable to consummate the marriage, and a chastity belt is used to insure her virginal status. The young bride follows her husband's troop at a distance hoping to get her hand on the coveted key to the lock. Comedy ensues as the key changes hands several times before Guerrando ultimately regains possession and is able to unlock the passions of his love-starved wife. This overlong film can best described as a punchline in search of a joke. One gets the feeling that the producers had wanted to title the film A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Crusades. As it stood, On My Way to the Crusades, I Met a Girl Who... was too unwieldy for most theater marquees, necessitating the film's title-change to The Chastity Belt. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Made in Italy
Made in Italy is a multistoried film, set...in Italy, of course. An all-star cast appears in brief seriocomic vignettes about rich and poor, tourist and native. Director Nanni Loy exhibits the realistic and somewhat earthy technique he'd used on his earlier documentaries, with heavy emphasis on ironic punch lines. Filmed in 1965 by a Franco/Italian production team, Made in Italy received the best possible exposure upon its 1967 American release when clips were showcased on Johnny Carson's

Tempi di Massacro

Although primarily known for gruesome 1980s horror films like L'Aldila and Lo Squartatore di New York, it took cult Italian director Lucio Fulci until this bloody spaghetti Western -- his 17th film -- before he began exploring the dark recesses of insanity and Sadean bloodshed which marked his later work. Bolstered by a commanding star turn from 24-year old Franco Nero, fresh from another Western success in the same year's Django, this dark, violent story -- which many fans consider the first "true" Lucio Fulci film -- begins with a man's murder at the hands of the insane Jason "Junior" Scott (Nino Castelnuovo) and the credits appearing over his victim's blood washing downriver. The rest of the film deals with the efforts of young prospector Tom Corbett (Nero) to avenge the death of his father...or the person whom he believes to be his father, for the familial relations in this film are as twisted as Fulci's violent imagery. At times, the film presages the hallucinatory atmosphere of L'Aldila, with Corbett returning to his family farm only to find it destroyed, and wandering the barren, windswept wreckage amidst a group of foraging pigs. George Hilton turns in a fine performance as Corbett's orphan half-brother, Jeff, an alcoholic whose years of dissolution have curbed neither his gunslinging talents nor his thirst for revenge, and the supporting cast does well by Fernando di Leo's somber script. Giuseppe Addobbati co-stars with Tom Felleghy, Salvatore Borgese, and Lynn Shayne. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Director Serge Bourguignon coadapted the screenplay for The Reward from a novel by Michael Barrett. Efrem Zimbalist Jr., usually cast on the right side of the law, is here a fugitive from American justice hiding from a murder rap in Mexico. Zimbalist and his girlfriend Yvette Mimieux try to avoid those who'd like to collect the $50,000 dead-or-alive price on his head. Police chief Gilbert Roland captures Zimbalist alive, promising to divvy up the reward with his men. But the police officers greedily turn on each other, leaving the audience to sort out for themselves just who's the real "bad guy" hereabouts. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jacques Demy's 1964 masterpiece is a pop-art opera, or, to borrow the director's own description, a film in song. This simple romantic tragedy begins in 1957. Guy Foucher (Nino Castelnuovo), a 20-year-old French auto mechanic, has fallen in love with 17-year-old Geneviève Emery (a luminous Catherine Deneuve), an employee in her widowed mother's chic but financially embattled umbrella shop. On the evening before Guy is to leave for a two-year tour of combat in Algeria, he and Geneviève make love. She becomes pregnant and must choose between waiting for Guy's return or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant (Marc Michel, reprising his role from Demy's masterful debut, Lola). A completely sung movie, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is closest in form to a cinematic opera. Composer Michel Legrand composed the score, modeling it around the patterns of everyday conversation. Umbrellas was re-released in 1997. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Giorno per Giorno Disperatamente
In this effective though still slightly uneven drama about mental illness, the worsening condition of a highly disturbed son wreaks havoc on the rest of the family. Dario (Thomas Milian) has episodes when he becomes violently insane yet his mother (Madeleine Robinson) refuses to put him in an institution where he can be professionally helped. Her desperate clinging to the belief that Dario will get better starts to wear away the equilibrium of the two other members of the family, the father (Tino Carraro) and Dario's brother, Gabriele (Nino Castelnuovo). In the end, the continued presence of Dario and his mother's near-fanatical insistence that he will recover create tragic consequences for everyone. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

As usual it will take a few years before we can issue final judgement on the 2013 version of the NFL draft, but that doesn't mean it hasn't already stood out for several reasons.
With three of the top four overall picks going on offensive tackles (Central Michigan's Eric Fisher to the Chiefs No. 1; Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel to the Jaguars No. 2; and Oklahoma's Lane Johnson to the Eagles No. 4), the 2013 draft will be remembered for its depth on the offensive line, not to mention a distinct lack of it at some notable positions.
Take quarterback for instance, a position has gone first overall in 11 of the previous 14 years, including a year ago, when three of them were taken in the first eight picks, all solid NFL starters in 2012.

General terms of use
Terms of Use
1 | Subject of the terms of use; scope |
1.1. | The following terms regulate the use of the online-games provided by Gameforge on the Gameforge internet pages and their additional range of services. When a user registers or logs on to the Gameforge portal, a user contract for client-based online games (i.e. games that require the download of a client) is always established with Gameforge 4D GmbH. Gameforge Productions GmbH in these cases is merely a vicarious agent of Gameforge 4D GmbH in regard to registration and login. |
1.2. | These terms of use completely replace older versions of Gameforge terms of use. |
1.3. | Gameforge offers online games and other services within the framework of its technical and operational capabilities with an average annual availability of 98.0%. This does not include periods of time during which the use of online games and other service offerings are interrupted or affected due to compelling technical reasons or because of required maintenance work without Gameforge having to provide compensation in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. |
1.4. | The online games and additional range of services are continually developed, updated and adjusted further. The user has only the opportunity to take part in the respective online game and additional offers in their respective version provided at a time. |
1.5. | Online games and other services offered by Gameforge are intended solely for the purpose of entertainment. The use for business or commercial purposes is prohibited. |
1.6. | The user him/herself is responsible for the timeliness and appropriateness of its software and hardware. |
1.7. | In addition to these terms of use, existing rules for individual online game apply, if any. In case of inconsistency between these terms of use and the rules of the game, the provisions of these terms of use prevail. For individual online games, specific versions and/or components of online games and individual service offerings on the Gameforge Internet pages also specific terms of use apply. The user is informed prior to use of the respective offering in an appropriate manner. |
1.8. | At various online games and other services, the user has the opportunity to use services of contractors of Gameforge. In this case, a separate contract between the user and the respective contractor of Gameforge applies. The user is informed appropriately prior to conclusion of the contract. |
1.9. | Other provisions or terms and conditions of the user only apply if Gameforge agrees to their validity by prior written consent. |
2 | Conclusion of Contract |
2.1. | Registration of the user is a prerequisite for the use of online games and other services offered by Gameforge. |
2.2. | Only individuals are permitted to register, and only individual persons (not groups, families, live-in partners, etc.) are admitted as users. Minors require the permission of their parents in order to register for the game. Registration is only permitted to those who are a minimum of 13 years old. Parents can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. |
2.3. | At registration, the user has to provide a player name and a registered e-mail address. The user is not entitled to receive a particular player name. The player name may not infringe rights of third parties and may also not offend common decency. Moreover, no e-mail or Web address may be chosen as the player name. The user shall ensure that the information provided to Gameforge at registration is true and complete. |
2.4. | The registration is carried out personally. Registration through third parties, especially a third party that registers individual people at several teleservice providers (registration services and/or entry services) is not permitted. |
2.5. | The acceptance of a registration request on the Gameforge portal and the online game pages registration are confirmed via e-mail. In this e-mail the user receives an activation link. In this case Gameforge activates the user and the respective game account through the clicking on such activation link. When the account has been accepted or activated a user contract for an indefinite term between Gameforge and the user is being established. In some cases the registration process may deviate from this procedure, in which case the user will be advised in an appropriate manner. |
2.6. | With the successful registration, the user opens an account ("user account") which the user manages independently. The user may open a user account on both the Gameforge portal page as well as on the online game site. The user account created on the Gameforge portal may be used by the user for all online games linked by Gameforge to the Gameforge portal. Conversely, a user account created on an online gaming site is not available for other online games. |
2.7. | Without the explicit consent of Gameforge, the user account is not transferable. |
2.8. | A right to claim registration or activation does not exist. Per game round (e.g. world, universe, etc.) in a browser game the user is only allowed to register once. If a user has already registered once, the user may not register again for the same game round for the duration of the current registration, for example, under entry of, changed personal data. |
3. | Cancellation Policy |
Right of cancellation | |
You can revoke your contract within 14 days without declaration of a reason in text form (for example letter, fax, e-mail).

To ensure the meeting of the cancellation term a timely posting of such declaration is sufficient. The cancellation declaration has to be addressed to: Gameforge Productions GmbH, Albert-Nestler Straße 8, 76131 Karlsruhe | |
Consequences | |

Obligations to refund payments should be met within 30 days. The period begins for you with the submission of your cancellation, for us with its receipt. | |

Man arrested after allegedly trying to poison dogs
CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (WHDH) -- A landscaper was arrested Friday in connection to the dog poisonings in Charlestown.
Kenneth Hyland, 53, turned himself into police. He is charged in connection with the poisonings.
Neighbors in Charlestown said their dogs ate hot dogs soaked in anti-freeze.
"He should be punished. There's something that should be done to him for doing that -- for having the intent to hurt a dog," said Kim Ladue, a dog owner.
Neighbors said Hyland was angry that some pet owners were not picking up after their dogs and decided to retaliate.
"I understand there are some people who let their dogs poop on the lawn and not pick it up, and that's a problem with the owners but not with the dogs," said Ladue.
On Sunday, neighbors witnessed Hyland marinating the hot dogs then scattering the pieces on the lawn. They picked up the tainted pieces before any dogs could get sick. But six months ago, Ryan O'Connell's dog, Terry, got a hold of a piece of a hot dog and became violently ill.
Dog owners were relieved to hear of Hyland's arrest.
"You don't want to have to worry about something that a dog might look at on the ground," said Ladue.
The man faces felony charges.
