Editor's note: This review originally ran during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. "Beyond the Hills" opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday with a national roll-out to follow. It is also available on video-on-demand platforms starting March 14.
Romanian director Cristian Mungiu seemingly came out of nowhere in 2007 to snatch the Palme d'Or for his last feature, the tightly constructed abortion drama "4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days," a distinctly powerful work. With so much pressure on the filmmaker from this early stage, Mungiu faced an impossible task, as his less appealing follow-up clearly demonstrates. While technically impressive and occasionally quite provocative, Mungiu's latest feature-length effort, "Beyond the Hills," is at once more ambitious and flawed -- in other words, only 50 percent post-Palme slump.
Another story of close friends hiding secrets from various forms of authority, "Beyond the Hills" takes inspiration from Tatiana Niculescu Bran's novels as it follows former childhood pals Voichita (Cosmina Stratan) and Alina (Cristina Flutur) under punishingly dour circumstances. Like "4 Months," the new movie presents a scenario involving close friends drawn into a perilous situation with forces beyond their control.
At its start, 25-year-old Alina returns to the countryside after becoming alienated in Germany, paying a visit to the devout Voichita, now committed to a remote nunnery led by its grave-faced priest (Valeriu Andriuta). Once there, Alina alternately rebels against the setting and tries to adapt to it, driving Voichita into a situation where she must choose between allegiances to her friend and the spiritual pressures of her superiors.
Alina's aggression becomes the driving force of this two-and-a-half hour excursion, which finds her challenging the priest's authority, giving into it and lashing out again several times over until a final explosion of violence changes the terms of the showdown. Mungiu's patient long takes capture the proceedings with disquieting unease and occasional flashes of unexpected humor, allowing tension to naturally arise from the priest's increasingly exasperated attempts to suppress Alina's behavior.
Prone to exorcist-like freakout sessions, Alina relentlessly pushes the priest and his small band of nuns to complete exasperation. Their conversations follow loopy pathways weighted with subtext and foreshadowing, establishing the close bond between the woman and hinting at the hidden motives they both possibly harbor. "Without God," Voichita says, "whoever you're with, you're alone." But when the rest of her religious housemates turn against Alina, it's clear she has started to doubt her own words.
However, while sharply written to accentuate its core relationship, "Beyond the Hills" stumbles into a cycle of redundancy over the course of its prolonged running time. There's a full hour of exposition before Alina truly begins to challenge the church, and then the story essentially repeats itself several times before its disquieting climax. Mungiu's method creates the feeling of being submerged in a maze of confrontations and chatter, but the build-up gets so tiring that the concluding scenes come as a relief instead of a payoff.
From a technical standpoint, this may as well be Mungiu's version of "The Tree of Life," a movie that has undergone so many versions that the final one may not even exist. Hack away at "Beyond the Hills" and there's a far more satisfying movie. Individual moments testify to the qualities that make contemporary Romanian cinema so distinctly involving -- the use of a slow-burn, real-time approach that draws you into the small details of a story and then pulls out to absorb the big picture. As with Cristi Puiu's similarly paced "Aurora," the lengthy cycle of events culminates with a prolonged explanation that changes the terms of the drama. But where "Aurora" is fluid, "Beyond the Hills" meanders, losing focus and draining a lot of the emotion out of a story that could use it. Only the last shot makes the journey worthwhile.
Nevertheless, there's much to examine about Mungiu's provocative contrast of religious and secular perspectives. The church's disciplinary measures against Alina is a continually divisive affair, playing in one context as physical abuses and the other as redemption -- an entirely contained duality worthy of many a post-screening debate. And yet for a movie that potentially indicts religious dogma, it suffers from blind faith in the ability to push rigid formalism past its breaking point.
Criticwire grade: B
HOW WILL IT PLAY? Picked up by IFC Films ahead of its premiere in Cannes competition, "Beyond the Hills" has generated more of a mixed reaction than Mungiu's previous film, but its conversation-worthy concept and the legacy from the director's previous film should help it have a leg up in its first weekend.

"I want you to tell the camera that you are mine mom porn wicked and that when I want you you will be there. I also want you to say that you will not tell your husband and that at every opportunity you will go and find sex. You have become a slut and all you want is sex. Is that clear?â€
Feeling no shame at what she had done this morning in brother sister free porn videos fact she was exhilarated by it Ashkey took a bold step forward and looked deep into the lens of the camera
"My name is Ashkey and I have enjoyed the best fathers of confederation fucking of my life this morning. For years I have only experienced orgasm through masturbation and yet in the arms of this young man I have cumm four times.â€
"There will mother sex pictures be times when I want to be in control of the situation and there will be other times when I want to be submissive to the situation.â€
"Here in front of the camera I say daddy fucks daughter from behind no sexual experience is beyond me and I am willing to do anything.â€
"I also mom sex son promise that at no time will I divulge anything to my husband.†black father incest father fucks son

"I think mother son unclothed incest pictures you may find I am able to cuckold my husband but that will take time. In the meantime please use me and thrill me.†daughter and mother

"This goes with real incest storys me but tomorrow you will receive a copy along with your phone. You are free to do with it what you wish.†scoccer mom porn mother son poems
With that he slapped her naked arse then sex with her brother turned and left
Ashkey stood alone in her bedroom looking around her. The toon incest tgp video camera was still in place and the bedroom reeked of sexual passion. The bedclothes were ruffled mommy fucking son incest mature mom son
She walked towards the mirror and surveyed jetson incest cartoon herself. The woman that she had looked at that morning was not the woman who gazed back at her
What she saw now was a naked cumm slut young daughter father incest stories of a woman with a smile on her face that seemed to come from within. Her cheeks were flushed and her nipples were perky and standing out from her breasts. Her legs were caked with spunk and her pussy was flowered open dad porn muscle father damien sandford dole pineapple
She turned and looked at the clock and knew that lindsey lohan daughter to father she still had a few hours until her children were due home from school. She decided that she would tidy herself and the house up and then check her e-mails
First she dismantled the video camera and free incest dad rape although she knew she had enjoyed the experience she also knew that she would not be bringing this out again for a while steamy erotic incest stories tony dungy son
Next she incest 3d stripped the bed and made sure that there were no tell-tale signs of sexual activity or fluid on the mattress. She gathered the bedding up and placed it in a pile outside the bathroom door
Her next movement was to go to the free rape incest stories toilet. She put the seat down and sat and passed urine. As the fluid came away from her she caught the aroma of urine mixed with cumm and pussy juice and she had to admit it was making her horny again
She had to push these girl dad sex erotic thoughts aside. She wiped herself and then stood and turned on the shower. When it was warm enough she stepped in and let the hot water cascade over her body. All this did was set those nerve endings off again
What had become of her? Everything she comix incest pics seemed to do at the moment was a sexual conclusion
For fully ten minutes she father and sons penis stood under the warm jets of the shower and then she reached for the soap and began to wash herself. She paid particular attention to her pussy making sure that it was clean so that her husband would have no idea of what she had been up to today
She was prepared to let her husband find home incest video that she had a wet and horny pussy but she did not want him to find the residue of a fuck session and spunk
When she mother son porno was convinced she was clean she reached for a warm towel and wrapped herself around it. She allowed it to dry her and then she dropped it with the rest of the washing
Ashkey went to put her clothes father daughter relationships overprotective on but then she remembered that she had left them in a discarded pile by the computer whilst she had got lost and masturbated to Tony's story
Well nothing for it, she poem mother to son by langston hughes was not going to put clean clothes on. She could wrap herself back in the towel and the old Ashkey would have done but this was the new Ashkey so gathering up the pile of washing she went downstairs as naked as she had gone up them earlier.
She entered the sex stories dad son kitchen and began to load the washing machine. She then put the kettle on and prepared herself a cup of coffee. She knew that she was naked but for the first time in a long while, she realized that she was also comfortable with her naked body and she was not going to cover it up again until it was completely necessary
Today big brother sweeden sex was a day to be free
Walking back to the front room she did realize xxx incest portal that she could not allow another incident like the one that had occurred with Anton to happen again today
She walked to the amature family incest photos from around the world window about to close the curtains when she stood for a daring moment and let whoever may want to have a good look at her naked form. When she had finished this she closed the curtains and then getting her coffee from the kitchen she sat her naked body at the computer and switched it on
She quickly flicked through until she came to her e-mails. She famous mothers daughters re-opened the one from Tony and read the story again. This time although it still made her wet she was able to control herself
Her mind mom and son sex galleries was elsewhere as she thought about what she was going to send back to him
Ashkey sat at the brother sister pussy incest computer and re-read the words that Tony had written. This was her third time and she knew that despite her newfound sexuality she was not quite sure what to put down in the written words
In her mind she envisioned several sexual scenarios and she knew fathers and thier sons that each of them she would actually enjoy participating in and in fact in her mind when she was having that mundane sex with her husband she had gone through some of these scenarios and then had used them to bring herself afterwards
However this was mum son incest different. Ashkey was a woman with ideas that she could visualize but was not very competent when it came to the written word
Suddenly her mind cleared father and sons hobby gary joe story itself of all the writing worries and she began to type. She set her alarm clock to alert her to when there was half an hour to go before she was due to pick up her children
Naked as she was she soon forgot daughter forced sex her nudity and began to type. The time flew and before she knew it she was being aroused from her thoughts by the ringing of the alarm. Her timing could not have been better because she was completing her tale and when she sat and read what she had just written she was shocked
Her mind had started taboo family sex as a blank canvas and yet in front of her on the screen was the whole tale of what had happened to her that day. She had not missed a detail and had changed no names
She was daughters and moms nudeogp surprised that she could recount so vividly and with such passion the events of the morning and she knew that Tony would be left in no doubt that what he was reading was an actual account of her sexual experiences
She was thrilled that she had found the release daddy day care for her sexual emotions and knew that from this day forth whatever happened to her she would recount it in the written word and would send it to Tony
Smiling broader than she could analysis of langston hughes poem mother to son remember she pressed send and then turned off the computer before she had a chance to regret her actions but she knew she wouldn't regret them anyway
She gathered her i had sex with my girlfriend sister clothes from the floor and quickly dressed. She brushed her hair and applied the minimal amount of make-up. She grabbed her coat and took a look in the hallway mirror. She was back to that young mother of two children and the obedient wife
Her life from mother teaching son about masturbation this moment would be divided into two halves. There would be the nice respectable pillar of the community always willing to lend a hand to anyone and then there would be the slut who was going out and exploring and behind closed doors would be sexually excited

UPDATE: Oklahoma City police say 7-year-old boy's death was homicide
A 7-year-old boy who was home alone late Sunday at his southwest Oklahoma City home died in a fire that police think was caused by burglars.
Adrian Roberto Avalos was the only person found in the house at 2535 SW 51 when firefighters were called about 11:50 p.m. He was taken to a hospital where he died. Police are investigating the death as a homicide.
Police Master Sgt. Gary Knight said investigators discovered someone broke into the house and took several items before the fire gutted the house. He could not say whether burglars set the fire intentionally or by accident or whether they knew someone was home.
Knight said the medical examiner would determine the cause of Adrian's death, but investigators think he died as a result of the fire. Police have made no arrests in the case and have not identified any suspects.
Fire officials said they are investigating what caused the blaze.
Police also are looking into why the boy was home alone, Knight said.
Adrian lived at the home with his mother and her boyfriend, who were at a bar until 2 a.m., neighbors said. Beer cans littered the yard Monday alongside a makeshift memorial with teddy bears, flowers and a religious candle.
Neighbor Kristin Fitzgerald said she didn't know the adults well, but her 4-year-old son was friends with Adrian and always said "hi" to him when he got home from school.
"I had to explain to him today that his friend was in heaven," Fitzgerald said. "He doesn't understand. It's ridiculous that it happened and that the parents weren't there."
Fitzgerald has a security camera on her front porch that was aimed at Adrian's home, but it does not work.
"I wish it did," she said. "It might have picked up something. Anything. It could have been me. It could have been anyone."
Adrian was in the first grade at Coolidge Elementary, said Kathleen Kennedy, a spokeswoman for Oklahoma City Public Schools.
The news was heartbreaking for students, teachers and administrators throughout the district. Counselors were on campus Monday to help students and staff, she said.
Knight said an air-conditioner was stolen from the home within the past year, but there have been no other recent police calls to that address. A neighbor said Adrian's family was new to the neighborhood.

There are countless qualities that great lawyers have in common. The one that is loudly touted, but incredibly hard to achieve, is objectivity. Putting aside whether true objectivity is possible (or desirable, for that matter), I have found that staying focused and above the fray is easier said than done.
To understand where I'm coming from, you should know a little about me. I am a true competitor. I enjoy difficult tasks and underdog odds. I know my voice and use it—often. And I love—and I mean love—that moment when you know you've out maneuvered your opponent and victory is in your grasp. These qualities are what make me a great advocate. The problem with all us competitors—and you know you're one, too—is that we are susceptible of losing sight of our role to be objective.
As competitors, we easily transform our cases into battles that end in complete victory (or loss). Unfortunately, the hallowed halls of justice rarely allow for such satisfying absolutes. Even when you have both the facts and the law on your side, the path to victory is peppered with obstacles and defeats—whether inflicted by opposing counsel or the court. When you've lost sight of the boundary between you and your client or a legal position and your value as an advocate, those setbacks can be demoralizing.

Four days into my Olympic experience and not a drop of rain. You should see how the sun and blue skies have disoriented Londoners. Some were seen disrobing in public and tanning in grassy parks.
The city is stunning in scope and stature. During the industrial age, raw sewage flowed freely into the Thames River, leading to a cholera outbreak. The stench from the river was so bad that they actually abandoned the House of Commons.
Now the river flows majestically under the Olympic rings, which hang underneath the Tower Bridge. It's a sight to behold, and without an umbrella, London looks and feels absolutely sensational. If the weather holds, local organizers might do the unthinkable, besting China's effort four years ago.
After all, Beijing was big, bold and buttoned down. But there was no party to be found, and little sense of festival. That won't be a problem here.

Been using PHP/MySQL for a little while now, and I'm wondering if there are any specific advantages (performance or otherwise) to using
mysql_fetch_object() vs
mysql_fetch_assoc() /
Performance-wise it doesn't matter what you use. The difference is that mysql_fetch_object returns object:
mysql_fetch_assoc() returns associative array:
and mysql_fetch_array() returns array:
While many OOP fans (and I am an OOP fan) like the idea of turning everything into an object, I feel that the associative array is a better model of a row from a database than an object, as in my mind an object is a set of properties with methods to act upon them, whereas the row is just data and should be treated as such without further complication.
Something to keep in mind: arrays can easily be added to a memory cache (eaccelerator, XCache, ..), while objects cannot (they need to get serialized when storing and unserialized on every retrieval!).
You may switch to using arrays instead of objects when you want to add memory cache support - but by that time you may have to change a lot of code already, which uses the previously used object type return values.
Fetching an array with
Not sure if that even matters much, just thought I'd mention it.
...is how I've always done it. I prefer to use objects for collections of data instead of arrays, since it organizes the data a little better, and I know I'm a lot less likely to try to add arbitrary properties to an object than I am to try to add an index to an array (for the first few years I used PHP, I thought you couldn't just assign arbitrary properties to an object, so it's ingrained to not do that).
Additionally, if you eventually want to apply Memcaching to your MySQL results, you may want to opt for arrays. It seems it's safer to store array types, rather than object type results.
I think the difference between all these functions is insignificant, especially when compared to code readability.
If you're concerned about this kind of optimization, use
Also, with
I vote against
Because you get back both numerically indexed columns and column names, this creates an array that is twice as large. It's fine if you don't need to debug your code and view it's contents. But for the rest of us, it becomes harder to debug since you have to wade through twice as much data in an odd looking format.
I sometimes run into a project that uses this function then when I debug, I think that something has gone terribly wrong since I have numeric columns mixed in with my data.
So in the name of sanity, please don't use this function, it makes code maintenance more difficult

Executive producers Errol Morris ("The Fog of War") and Werner Herzog ("Encounters at the End of the World") came onto the film after viewing a rough cut. The film is "one of the greatest and most powerful documentaries ever made," said Morris. "A profound comment on the human condition." Herzog calls it "profound, visionary, and stunning." The film is also executive produced by ndré Singer ("Little Dieter Needs to Fly") and produced by Oppenheimer's partner Signe Byrge Sørensen.
"When I watched The Act of Killing, I thought I might not ever see another documentary quite as powerful," said Alamo Drafthouse and Drafthouse Films founder Tim League. "Joshua Oppenheimer's stunning new film, 'The Look of Silence,' is resounding proof that I was wrong."
"The Look of Silence is a haunting story about a people who were written out of the history books," said Diane Weyermann, EVP, Documentary Films at Participant Media.
Through Joshua Oppenheimer's work filming perpetrators of the Indonesian genocide, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered - and the identity of the men who killed him. The perpetrators live just down the road, and have been in power ever since the massacres. The family's youngest son, an optometrist, seeks to bring the past into focus, asking how he can raise his children in a society where survivors are terrorized into silence, and everybody is intimidated into celebrating the murderers as heroes. In search of answers, he decides to confront each of his brother's killers. The killers still hold power, so each encounter is dangerous. The former executioners respond with fear, anger, and naked threats but he manages these encounters with dignity; asking unflinching questions about how the killers see what they did, how they live side-by-side with their victims, and how they think their victims see them. Through these confrontations, audiences get a sense of what it is like to live for decades encircled by powerful neighbors who are also murderers of their children. The Look of Silence does something virtually without precedent in cinema or in the aftermath of genocide: it documents survivors confronting their relatives' murderers in the absence of any truth and reconciliation process, while the murderers remain steadfastly in power.

Maybe try to take another test first thing in the morning when your urine is really concentrated. I had period like cramps when I was first pregnant, more so on my left side as well. Or maybe go to the doctor and get a blood test..? Good luck!posted 10/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Even a very faint positive means you are pregnant, congratulations!! And you are right in thinking the digital tests are less sensitive.posted 10/15/2012 by Czerenity

Community Outraged by Surprise Logging Launch
Conflict is building between the U.S. Forest Service and residents of a small community along the McKenzie River over a logging plan. Jerry Gilmour, a part-time resident of the McKenzie Bridge community, located in the Willamette National Forest, was astonished to learn in early February that 2134 acres there were about to be commercially logged and 588 acres "non-commercially thinned" by the Forest Service (USFS). Research into the matter left Gilmour angrier as he learned how the Goose Project, as the USFS calls it, came about.
"It has been, and continues to be, a disgusting and shameful proposition. The Forest Service methodically excluded the residents from the process," he told Salem Weekly.
The objections of Gilmour and his neighbors quickly resulted in several news articles and a MoveOn online petition. Two environmental groups, Oregon Wild and Cascades Wildlands, are already involved and are considering a lawsuit against the USFS.
According to critics, the main problems are as follows:
1 – The only warning for the large project was a small legal notice among many others in a Eugene newspaper –more than 50 miles from McKenzie Bridge – in 2010.
2 – The 45-day public comment period passed in 2010.
3 – The USFS chose to log mature forests in riparian reserves where logging is prohibited, and also to log mature trees which provide habitat for the spotted owl, a threatened species.
4 – Despite the fact that the project is located within a major watershed, involves critical habitat and the destruction of old growth trees, the USFS did not prepare an Environmental Impact Statement, but only an abbreviated document called an Environmental Assessment (EA).
5 – In a 2011 notice informing residents of a boundary line survey last year, the USFS did not mention a word about the logging project.
In its initial documents on the matter, the USDA Forest Service said the top reason for the Goose Project was to manage tree stands to improve stand conditions, diversity, density, and structure. It also hoped to reduce hazardous fuel levels in the McKenzie Bridge Wildland-Urban Interface and provide a sustainable supply of timber products within the area.
Gilmour says that when he first contacted Geunther Castillion, Goose Project Manager, Castillion told him the cutting was just for thinning and fire management. But Gilmour says he quickly learned the project was "massive," including road-building and spraying of herbicides. It means the cutting of enough timber to fill 9,000 logging trucks in an area rich with elk deer, grey fox, black bear, bobcats and cougars.
Doug Heiken of Oregon Wild also objects to calling the project primarily fire protection. Heiken told Salem Weekly, "900 acres of the sale have nothing to do with fire risk reduction because they are older forests that have most of their fuel suspended high above the ground." Heiken says logging will actually increase hazard on these 900 acres of mature forest.
The USFS held a public meeting on March 12 in response to the publicity Gilmour generated, but Gilmour calls the meeting "a patronizing circus show." He started a petition of protest and at the time of this writing has 3750 signatures. He says the petition is growing by 10% every day.
Katie Isacksen, Public Affairs Officer for the US Forest Service, tells Salem Weekly "The Goose Project is a good project, it's definitely something we need to do to reduce fuel loading and the threat of a major fire." She maintains that the ES was "adequate, and addressed all environmental concerns."
She agrees with Terry Baker, McKenzie Bridge District Ranger, who says, "I fully believe all of the environmental impact questions that have been raised were addressed in the Goose analysis. Our analysis, which is available online, carefully considered the effects of thinning on threatened and endangered species, water quality, soil stability, fish habitat, aesthetics and recreation."
Gilmour remains undaunted. "We are hoping that the USFS will do the right thing… put the brakes on and redesign this project with the good of the community, the wildlife and the forest in mind rather than the timber company's bottom line." He is "absolutely" in favor of the possible lawsuit against the USFS.
"Litigation may be the only real way to bring this madness to a screeching halt."
One Comment
The Forest Service is pitching a fallacy. They call this a good project that just needs doing. The only premise they state in favor of the project is fire prevention. If you look at the picture above, you will note that there is not a great deal of underbrush and the canopy is very high. If you have ever hiked the Frissel trail, you know that this forest is consistently that way. (if you haven't hiked it, I highly recommend it before it's gone). This is not a recipe for high fire danger. It is a healthy forest which is highly fire resistant. The Forest service insists that they will only cut younger or possibly middle aged trees. By their definition, these trees pictured, despite being 5 feet in girth are not old growth and are to be cut so that the remaining trees can get bigger. Does anyone see a flaw in this logic (besides me)? The forest is healthy, the trees are large and beautiful and the ONLY reason to cut them is the bottom line profits of the timber companies.
When Oregon Wild and Cascadia Wildlands appealed the FS assessment of this project, the FS sat as judge and jury over the appeal of their own document. Not surprisingly, they ruled against the appeal, in favor of themselves. Important issues were raised in that appeal which were summarily dismissed with minimal comment and little or no consideration. Those documents are posted on our website at http://www.savemckenziebridge.com
Take a look for yourself and if you agree with us, please sign our petition, call the officials listed on the website and help us put a stop to this monster.

text: If you're really in-depth with keeping up with Android, you're probably aware that when Android was first being designed, it wasn't nearly as polished and appealing as it is today. The original HTC Dream (which later came to be known as the G1), seen above, still tried to keep many features of phones before it. Physical keyboard, dedicated buttons for receiving and ending calls, etc. It's a far cry from the pure touchscreen devices Google offers today. That's not even accounting for the other device Google was developing alongside the G1, which featured no touch screen at all and a Blackberry-esque form factor that was internally referred to as the "Sooner." Obviously, that non-touchscreen device never actually hit the market, which some people believe is because Apple unveiled their iPhone, which would have made the original Android device look extremely antiquated by the time it was released.

James P. Cooney III Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, Charlotte
My favorite place would be on my bike or taking a swim or on a run and preferably doing all three in the early morning sun at a beautiful location. I spend most of my free time training for triathlons. It allows me to sort through and reorganize my life, to train my emotions and to clear my mind. There is no problem that is not more manageable after a long training session or race.
Vita: Born Oct. 26, 1957, in San Francisco; bachelors from Duke University and law degree from University of Virginia; wife and three daughters. Why he chose this field: I always thought that lawyers were supposed to be in the courtroom. Criminal law in particular is one of the highest challenges a courtroom lawyer can have. Memorable cases: I will never forget the expressions on the faces of Allen Gaines jury when they chose to unanimously give him life after convicting him of the murder of a police officer, a crime that many in the community wanted him to die for. And I cannot forget watching John Noland, my client and friend for 14 years, be executed by the state. What hed be if not a lawyer: A high-school social-studies teacher. Hero: I grew up wanting to be Atticus Finch. I have been lucky enough to meet real Atticus Finches. The most impressive is David Bruck, the attorney for Susan Smith and the 4th Circuit capital counsel. He handles the worst of cases with a grace, dignity and wisdom that I hope to achieve someday. Dont ask him to: Fix anything. I am a mechanical idiot.

BOSTON In a tense, somber and crowded federal courtroom in Boston, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty Wednesday to 30 federal charges related to the marathon bombings in what was his first public appearance since his capture in April.
The 19-year-old Tsarnaev appeared somewhat indifferent and healthy despite his swollen face and what appeared to be a cast on his arm. As U.S. marshals led him into the courtroom in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs, a woman believed to be a member of Tsarnaev's family started to weep. During the hearing, Tsarnaev glanced at her and appeared to give her a lopsided smile.
Boston Marathon Bombings: Significant Developments
- April 15: Marathon Bombing Kills 3
- April 18: FBI releases photos of 2 suspects
- April 18-19: MIT officer killed; shootout in Watertown; one suspect is dead
- April 19: Surviving suspect captured after lockdown, day-long manhunt
- April 22: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged
- July 10: Tsarnaev pleads not guilty
- Sept. 23: Defense Wants More Time To Make Case Against Death Penalty
Some of the almost 30 victims present were also weeping at the sight of the man blamed for the life-altering injuries either they or their loved ones suffered in the April 15 attack.
Among them was 44-year-old Mildred Valverde, of Somerville, who was at the marathon finish line to watch her son's former teacher finish the race. She now walks with a cane after suffering torn ligaments and muscle and nerve damage. For her, Tsarnaev's courtroom appearance was upsetting.
"He looked really rough, the orange jumpsuit, his hair wasn't done," Valverde said. "He turned and looked at his supporters with a smirk on his face, which was kind of upsetting."
Valverde said she doesn't support the death penalty and would prefer Tsarnaev spend the rest of his life in jail. Seventeen of the 30 charges in the federal indictment — including using a weapon of mass destruction — carry the possibility of the death penalty, which is something the federal Justice Department will decide whether to pursue.
Also in the courtroom Wednesday were several law enforcement officers including some from Watertown, where Tsarnaev was arrested after he was discovered hiding in a tarp-wrapped boat following a 16-hour shelter-in-place order in much of Greater Boston.
Watertown Police Chief Ed Deveau said he was glad to be in court.
"We're really happy to see the judicial process moving forward," Deveau said. "I was honored and humbled to be sitting with the victims in the courtroom today."
Among those there to show support for Tsarnaev were about a half dozen members of the wrestling team at Tsarnaev's high school, Cambridge Rindge and Latin, and some people who came because they said they're not convinced that Tsarnaev is responsible.
Prosecutors told the judge they expect to call between 80 and 100 witnesses and the trial could last as long as four months.
Judge Marianne Bowler warned that while many of the legal documents in the marathon bombing case are now impounded, the court is reluctant to continue to withhold information from the public.
When Tsarnaev's lawyer tried to enter pleas to the charges on Tsarnaev's behalf, Judge Bowler asked that Tsarnaev answer the charges himself. In accented English, he pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. He's scheduled to be back in court in September.

Never burn your bridges - the industry relatively small and everyone is connected in some way. Leave your ego at the door. Nobody enjoys working with an arrogant person, no matter how good you think you are. Never stop learning. Aim high.
Please give us a brief bio of yourself.
I'm Leigh from Manchester, England and I'm a freelance Creative Director/Art Director/Designer. I recently spent two years living in New York working as an Art Director and Associate Creative Director for Firstborn and I've now gone solo.
What do you do for inspiration?
It depends on the project I'm working on but I tend to get inspiration from unconventional places, like music and TV shows. I've recently started a Tumblr blog to collect visual and audio inspiration, which has been great. I'm a bit late to the game with Tumblr but it's really good for finding inspirational graphic design and photography. I follow lots of switched on people on Twitter too, so that's become a great way to keep up to date with the work other people/agencies are doing.
What do you regard as being your biggest achievement?
Being made Associate Creative Director at Firstborn. I'd always loved Firstborn and getting the opportunity to work there was honestly like a dream come true. I started as an Art Director but being promoted to ACD was special.
How do you relax or unwind?
I play guitar (yes, I am a designer cliché). I also try to do personal projects too which I find relaxing. You can spend months working on projects in your professional career, so doing a typography or illustration piece that can be done in a few days is something I enjoy a lot.
If you weren't working on the internet what would you be doing?
Maybe a chef. Not in a professional kitchen though, I don't think I could hack the pressure. I'd open a sandwich shop or something.
What's your favourite part of your job? What's the hardest part of your job? What do you do when you get stuck?
My favourite part is when a new project begins to take shape. Whether you come up with the seed of a good idea, or a design starts to feel right.
The hardest part is when things just don't seem to come together. I think design and creativity is very much a confidence game. When things are good you feel like you can do anything. No matter how long you've been in the industry, when things don't go well your confidence can take a hit.
When I get stuck I ask for help from the people around me. I always try to get opinions even if things are going well. Taking a bit of time away from the project can help too, although you don't usually get much chance to do that. Just putting it out of your mind when you leave work until you come back in the morning can be helpful.
What's the longest you've ever stayed up working on a project?
Maybe around 4am or something. It's hard being creative when you're over tired so I try to stick as close to more reasonable hours as I can. When I was working at an agency in Manchester I really wanted to get some experience working with an agency in the US and to add some strong projects to my portfolio. I contacted an agency and worked on two projects for them, all for free. One of them I did after my normal working day and the other I spent my entire Christmas holiday working on. It was worth it though.
If there are any pivotal experiences/decisions you could point to that helped shape your career, what would they be?
Moving to New York. It was a life changing experience professionally and personally.
What software could you not live without?
Photoshop and Illustrator. After Effects is great for demonstrating interactions and animations. I'm also trying to get into photography more so I've been using Lightroom too.
Who do you rate as being the top 3 design companies?
Firstborn, B-Reel, FI, North Kingdom, Stink Digital, Odopod, Kokokaka. I know that's not three but I could go on and on...
Has winning FWA awards helped you in any way?
Yes definitely. I was lucky enough to be part of teams that have won three FWAs. It's certainly given me more confidence in what I do.
When dealing with major clients, how difficult is it to meet the needs of such wide target audiences?
Finding the right balance between the brand and quality content can be tough. Users don't want products and brand messaging rammed down their throats, but the client wants to be prominent enough to make it worth their while.
What did your very first site look like? Is it still online?
My first site was a personal portfolio. I made it in Flash and it was pretty awful thinking back. It was crammed full with every timeline animation I could think of and had a Chemical Brothers sample looping soundtrack. Thankfully, it is not still online.
Have you written any books, if not do you plan to?
Possibly one day. I've been thinking about writing a blog to help people getting started in their careers. I'd really like to get my friends and colleagues involved in it too, but it's just a question of time right now.
Of all the websites you/your company have produced, which one are you most proud of?
Cadillac ATS vs The World, SoBe.com, Mustang Customizer (our version is no longer online).
What was the toughest thing you ever did with Flash? How long did you spend on it? Is it still online?
I used to do Actionscript a long time ago. I wasn't good at it, but I tried to learn as much as I could. As soon as AS3 came into play I gave up and concentrated on design. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
What are your views on design/graphic school. Do you think someone can get into the field without educational experience in a school environment?
I studied Graphic Design many years ago and I think it gave me a solid grounding in design principles which I carried through to digital. Something I've noticed over the last few years is students learning to use Photoshop, but having no understanding of the basics like typography and layout. I would much rather hire someone who knew the fundamentals of design but wasn't quite as polished in Photoshop.
I do think people can get into the industry without going to college or university. Again, if they learn and understand the basics of design though. It is a tough industry to break into, but hard work and genuine passion does pay off.
If you were a student entering this industry or an aspiring FWA award submitter, what advice would you give them?
Pour as much love into your projects as you can. Surround yourself with people you can learn from. Keep working on your portfolio. Be ambitious but patient. Work hard and enjoy it.
Lastly, concentrate on doing good work rather than self promotion. The plaudits and career opportunities will come if you do great work, not because you have thousands of followers on Twitter.
How difficult do you find employing the right people in a world where everyone calls themselves a web designer?
I've been part of the interview process at every place I've worked at and yes, finding the right people is very difficult. Without meaning to sound like a broken record, you want people who understand the principals of design. You see portfolios from designers who can create beautiful things in Photoshop, but you need to know they can see the bigger picture rather than just details.
How do you keep your finger on the pulse of the latest web trends?
I try to keep up with what's going on but for me, design trends don't really matter. You can't force-fit a trend into a project if it doesn't fit the brand. Trends in development are more interesting to me. Knowing what is possible as technology moves forward opens new doors in what you can do.
What does the future hold for your company, or you as a person?
I've always thought about one day starting a small agency. For the time being though I just want to work on great projects and continue to learn and improve. After more than 13 years in the industry I still love being hands on with design. When I no longer feel like I can cut it, or I don't enjoy it anymore I may choose to concentrate purely on Creative Direction. Or do something completely different...
Any parting shots or pearls of wisdom?
Never burn your bridges - the industry relatively small and everyone is connected in some way. Leave your ego at the door. Nobody enjoys working with an arrogant person, no matter how good you think you are. Never stop learning. Aim high.
It has been a privilege, thanks very much
Thank you. Thank you very much.

Hey there
This is my first post here - awesome site btw.
This is a handdrawn and watercolored map that I´ve been working on for about 3 years
along with 4 of my friends. We published it last spring as a foldable map. The map can
also be seen in much more detail at : www.reykjavikcentermap.com

That looks really nice, great job :-)

Imaginary maps (My facbook page devoted to mapping)
Thanks guys
We´re a group of architects acutally. We weren´t expecting any job offers after graduation in 2010, so I presented an
idea to a few of my classmates about making a detailed illustration of our city. We started out by making a bunch of
3d models based on official house plans. We then made pencil drawing which were then watercolored.
To your question: Each building block on the map is actually an a3 watercoloring, which makes the size of the total
map uhhhh.......ridiculous, since there are a total of 183 a3 sheets. We got permit this summer to hang up a 5 meter
wide version, printed on canvas. It was situated in downtown Reykjavik, at a very busy pedestrian corner.
Snorri Þór
that totally makes we want to go visit and wander the city for a few weeks.
[i tried running that idea past the wife. It's been awhile since she glared at me like that..*wither* ]
[edit - i just checked out the fullsize one. and then realized i could zoom in. HOLY CARP THATS AWESOME]
[double edit - that cartouch is awesome. i love the whales.. question though, what's that thing on the right, looks like a well with a beam of light shooting out of it? and why is the one boat sinking? ]
[triple edit - i think i get it, it's a progression of time left to right.. representing the whaling industry coming to an end?]

My Flash Website! - Welcome to Argontath
Thanks for your comments.
To answer a few questions:
The map is a collage of 180 a3 watercolor painted pencil drawings. It took
over 2 years and 3000 hours to make. I made it with 4 friends of mine,
3 architects and a graphic designer.
The cartouche is our version of our city´s history. Being founded by vikings,
hunting whales and sailing proudly, but now the ships of hope (banks) have
sunk and left us in the dirt. The "beam" is Yoko Ono´s:
which is a huge beam of light, situated out at an island just outside Reykjavík.
We thought a lot about the style of the map while making it and made several changes
along the process. Most important buildings are based on around 400 cg 3d models
that we made, based on architectural drawings of the individual houses.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Siah Barnett was born 1829-32 in Creek Nation, Alabama, the son of Thomas Barnett and his Negro(mixed?) cook Hannah. Thomas Barnett was a descendant of the Creek Nation trader, Timothy Barnard (White), and his Euchee Indian wife. Siah had a son named Trump Barnett by Celia, a Creek slave. Siah had a son named Jackson Barnett by "Thlesothle", Creek Indian. Siah married Mary Beams in the mid 1850s in Creek Nation, Oklahoma and they had at least 5 children. Mary Beams previously had a daughter named Katie by Ben Broadnax, a White man. Siah died in 1897 and was buried Barnett cemetery, SW Okmulgee county, Oklahoma. [More info]
Descendants of Siah Barnett and "Thlesothle":
Jackson's mother "Thlesothle" was likely born in the early-mid 1830s. There are claims that she is connected to the Conner family but there is no documentation to support this. Testimonial evidence and records support she was a sister of John Leecher or "Leacher" who operated a ferry near Muskogee. Thlesothle died sometime after 1859. She may have been buried in the Choctaw Givens cemetery west of Eufaula.

The A DAY for West Georgia campaign culminates on A DAY, Thursday, Oct. 16, with more than two months of community support and service. An A DAY breakfast and an A DAY Victory Celebration is scheduled for donors and supporters of the longest running scholarship campaign at UWG.
The A DAY breakfast is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. in the Food Services Building (Z-6) for volunteer teams who will collect donations from businesses and residents throughout the day.
A Victory Celebration is planned on the Alumni House front lawn at 6:30 p.m. where volunteers and supporters of the campaign will dine together and learn the final tally of the fundraising drive.
Begun in 1983 and traditionally held on the third Thursday in October, A DAY is an integral component of the university's Annual Fund. This year's theme, "Fulfilling the Vision," proudly commemorates the 26th anniversary of the University of West Georgia's community campaign that has given thousands of students the means to excel in higher education.
Both A DAY Chair Jay Gill, president of the River City Bank, and co-chair Leonard Woolsey, publisher of the Times Georgian, have long supported the university with substantial financial and volunteer contributions.
Woolsey said that this campaign has helped the community and university students in countless ways.
"UWG gives to our community in ways not easily measured simply with a financial tabulation," said Woolsey. "It is my desire to be there to help West Georgia continue the great work it does in making our community such a special place to call home."
Woolsey said his first priority is to continue building upon the previous successes of the campaign.
"This important effort experiences widespread support by the community and serves as a testament to the inherent impact the University of West Georgia plays in our lives," said Woolsey.
Contributions support student scholarships, faculty and staff development programs and undergraduate research. New contributions are welcome throughout the year.
For more information on A DAY, contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at 678-839-6582.

Diversity sought at W-B Area
WILKES-BARRE - An hour-long public forum featuring five Wilkes-Barre Area School Board candidates Saturday included discussions of school security and the district's cyber-school program.
But diversity in the hiring process of teachers was the subject discussed at length.
"Now we're at the point where we have to hire (inner-city experienced) people because these kids need someone there for their everyday life," candidate Kathy Grinaway said.
The Wilkes-Barre National Association for the Advancement of Colored People orchestrated the Saturday afternoon meet-and-greet at Mount Zion Baptist Church. The candidates on the panel were Grinaway, Joe Caffrey, Ned Evans, Denise Thomas and Christine Katsock.
Several candidates, including Thomas, made the statement that since the schools have an increased inner-city population, more relatable role-model figures need to be hired.
Katsock, the lone incumbent board member in attendance, echoed the assertion that the school district is severely lacking minority educators.
"The (current) policy isn't worth the paper it's printed on," said Katsock, who added that the district is continuing to work on finding a better way to hire teachers.
Evans, former principal of Dan Flood Elementary School, was perhaps misunderstood when Wilkes-Barre NAACP president Ron Felton, who moderated the discussion, disagreed with Evans' stance on the hiring of teachers.
"The color of someone's skin doesn't matter," Evans said.
Evans said he believes hiring should be based on merits and qualifications - not on someone's skin color, political party or neighborhood they live in.
Evans' stance coincided with Grinaway's statement that "sometimes the most qualified teacher could be black" and those are the people that need to be hired.
However, Felton apparently took Evans' words the wrong way, cutting Evans off to tell candidates that Wilkes-Barre Area has an urgent need for more black teachers, much like the overall school system needs more male teachers.
Caffrey used the diversity talk to tell of his former role at Meyers High School, where he was in charge of creating ethnicity reports.
Aside from diversity, school security was a hot topic.
"I strongly believe our schools are not as safe as they should be," said Evans, who added that he wants metal detectors in school.
Thomas took it one step further, saying the first act she would propose if elected would be supplying all schools with metal detectors at $3,500 per unit.

A Civil investigation is essential when someone suffers a loss due to another party's negligence. Civil suits involve a non-criminal legal dispute between two or more parties. They can range from a small claim dispute to a large multi-firm battle. The larger claims are often fought over a long period time since they go through a complicated legal process, and can be full of unpleasant surprises and frustrating delays. We understand this process and the various phases. During each phase our experienced investigators will work directly with your legal team. Civil investigators gather the evidence essential to march towards trial.
Several areas of civil suits include: personal injury, wrongful death, discrimination, false arrest, wrongful conviction, injuries while incarcerated (even if guilty of the crime), and police brutality and misconduct.
Our seasoned Civil Investigation team, comprised of experienced Investigators and Analysts, will work as part of the legal team to seek the highest awards for the damages you have suffered.
After you have evoked your rights to remain silent and requested an attorney, the next step is to tell your attorney to call us. Once you have been accused of a crime, a thorough investigation is critical to your defense.
Whether you are intensely pressured to accept a plea deal or feel you can win at trial, once you are targeted the prosecutors and their investigators will work hard to incarcerate you for the maximum number of years possible.
In cases when there is less than actual innocence we will help uncover mitigating circumstances as part of your legal team for your best possible outcome. If you are innocent, our criminal defense investigators know what is needed to clear your name. Either way, do not let precious years be taken from you.
Criminal Defense Investigators are independent professionals who gather information and evidence for the defense in a criminal case. While the prosecution has many investigators (e.g. police officers, detectives, and prosecution detectives) on staff, most defendants gamble without hiring even one investigator.
A good investigator isn't simply a good locator of information, but someone who excels at creating a rapport with others and getting them to open up. We become a highly valued part of the legal team, who will assist your attorney with case strategy. By doing so, we eliminate the risk that your attorney does not become a potential witness against you.
The United States makes up only 5% of the world's population, yet we incarcerate 25% of the world's prison population. Does this mean that every person is in fact guilty?
The National Registry of Exonerations updated their findings in March 2015, https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/learnmore.aspx. The total number of 1555 Exonerees collectively served 14,429 years. More than 46% were due to government misconduct, and was highest in homicide cases (60%) and child sex abuse cases (44%).
How does this happen?
For every person who is found guilty by a judge or jury trial, 9 people will take a plea agreement to avoid a harsher sentence. No one knows how many are in fact innocent of the crime for which they will spend precious years of their lives in prison. A recent study conducted by the University of Michigan Law School estimates around 4.1% of death row inmates are innocent.
"The great majority of innocent people who are sentenced to death are never identified and freed," said Samuel Gross, lead author of the study and a University of Michigan Law School professor, in a statement. "The purpose of our study is to account for the innocent defendants who are not exonerated."
If we were to project the study out to the total 2.3 million prison population, more than 90,000 people could be in fact innocent.
2014 was a record year for releasing the wrongfully convicted according to the Exoneration Report from the University of Michigan with 125 exonerations, one of which was our client, Jonathan Fleming, on April 8, 2014 in Brooklyn, NY.
A wrongful conviction case starts with a post-conviction investigation whether or not there DNA evidence is available. In fact 75% of exonerations occur without reliable DNA evidence. What remains consistent when examining the successful cases is they are the direct result of the determined investigators and attorneys who will fight for their freedom.
Management Resources is responding to a record number of inquiries from those who are wrongfully incarcerated and reviewing several cases to assess if there is evidence to investigate further.

During investigations we are not advocates, we are independent and confidential fact-finders. Our goal is to uncover the truth for our clients which doesn't necessarily guarantee a favorable outcome.
To be able to effect change within the system there needs to be dialogue, but the opportunity to speak out doesn't occur until the case is resolved. After the resolution, as advocates for our clients, we are able to reveal issues such as misconduct, false confession, eye witness misidentification, or witness tampering.
Management Resources takes pride in our ability to communicate and educate audiences about the impact of our cases, our client, their family and friends, and, in some instances, the victim who has been denied complete justice. We've had the privilege of speaking to organizations, university students, as well as participate in a documentary about the ramifications of being wrongfully convicted along with our client, Jonathan Fleming who was exonerated on April 8, 2014.
If you've never hired a private investigator you will have questions about what to expect. Our goal is to listen, answer your questions and offer suggestions on how we can help you and your case.
Our initial telephone consultation is FREE. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in choosing Management Resources to conduct a thorough, complete and professional investigation.

The present King Fahad National Library is set in the Library Garden in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Since Riyadh is a city with few green spaces, the extension is so designed that its park footprint is minimal.
Hence, the new library is extended as a striking floating structure above the existing library complex. And inspired by the vernacular kasbah principle, it is composed of a swathe of small units which together make up an urban fabric of streets and squares. Viewed from the outside, the building presents a skin perforated by light which offer deep vistas into the quiet courts and reading rooms. The blank façade yields a homogeneous surface – and protects the interior from the glare of the sun.
The new complex ensures the King Fahad National Library a commanding architectural position at the centre of the city, surrounded by the park as a unifying urban space.

What's the situation with this? I'd like to have my files exported to the temp directory as I used to in 8.1. Is this feature something that might be re-implemented soon in an update, or is this something that will take a while? Or is there a workaround of some kind right now without having it crap files all around the working directory?

Death Cross Bearish Technical Indicator
Posted By Jim On 08/29/2012 @ 7:15 am In Investing | 2 Comments
As you all probably know, I think technical indicators are often self-fulfilling prophecies. If a lot of traders, especially high frequency traders, think that an indicator works, then they'll make trades when they see the indicator. If enough of them do it, as is the case when it's all computers, then the indicators work more often than they don't. If all signs point to buy and lots of people buy, then the stock goes up and we can look back and say that the indicator worked.
Bearish indicators will lead them to sell. Bullish indicators will lead them to buy. When they look back at how their trades performed against the indicator, they'll be validated as long enough other traders join them. These traders do a lot of trading, so just a few ticks upward means a profit to them and they just need to be right more often than they're wrong.
Most technical indicators have boring names, like cup and handle [3], but I discovered one that actually has an interesting name – it's called the DEATH CROSS. (it's made more ominous because I put it in all caps and I bolded it!)
A death cross is when a shorter moving average crosses a longer one. Here's the S&P 500 [4] during the last six months (click to enlarge):
The green line is a 50 day simple moving average and the red line is a 100 day simple moving average. You see how they crossed in early June? The idea is that the short term prospects of the index are weak, hence the dipping 50 day SMA, and so it drags down the longer moving average. The end result is that the moving averages act as a higher bound on the index, or stock, and it all drifts lower.
I purposely chose one where the technical indicator was wrong (or late to the party anyway, the dip from that last peak in early May to the lower trough in early June was over 100 points) just to illustrate that these things are hardly perfect. In fact, I'd imagine technical indicators give you just a slight edge if you have the ability to identify them accurately and enough capital to seize those opportunities frequently enough.
I still like the name though.
