Developer KDC recently announced it has given the name CityLine to the State Farm project in Richardson. What do you think of the name and the additional plans for the project? Is there a place in your community that needs development?
Steve Schmitt, Canyon Creek in Richardson: I'm not sure how, but I guess they might have come up with a less imaginative name.
Mary Natho, Lake Highlands: The Lake Highlands area needs more retail stores. We are picking up a few more eating places, but name-brand, upscale retail stores are missing.
Tom Naylor, Crowley Park in Richardson: We live near the "CityLine" development (we could walk there). Our primary concern is the increase in traffic along Renner and Plano roads. It remains to be seen what sort of facilities are actually going in at that location. I have also heard that there would be a grocery store as well as the hotel, housing and State Farm.
In The Dallas Morning News article, it says: "CityLine will be an instant city with a true urban environment," said Walt Mountford, executive vice president of Dallas developer KDC." I don't know what Mr. Mountford means by a "true urban environment." Since this is not, in fact, a city but rather a suburban development, it makes me suspect that Mr. Mountford has no idea what a true urban environment is. I have lived in several large cities and have seen urban environments of all sorts firsthand. I think that Mr. Mountford should try to sell the development based on what will be there and what it will bring to our community rather than on some mythical urban environment. I would like to see and hear more specific details about what facilities are actually going to be located on those 36 acres.
As for any new developments, I think that we have given up enough of the little open space we have left in Richardson. I'd like to see some effort put in to redevelopment of some of the shopping centers and ugly strip malls around the city.
Jack Orr, Far North Dallas: The name "City Line" doesn't do much to describe what is there. I would think the development is more than a "line."
Now, the development sounds really good. This is a large tract of land and the ideas for development sound right in line with current thought. The location is on the Dart Rail, which has benefits, but getting somewhere on Central during rush hours is not so good. I think it is better on Bush Turnpike.
The biggest benefit to the city of Richardson will be the vast increase in the tax base. This should enable the city to do things to enhance the way of life for all the citizens. Street repair, better parks, an additional library, improved ability to pay off debt sooner and save interest.
LaRuth Morrow, The Reservation in Richardson: Developer KDC has named its envisioned, instant community CityLine. This title lends class to an already substantial project. The name emits size and significance of an urban environment alongside two other fine cities supporting population, commerce and culture Richardson and Plano.
Our effective mass transit avenues such as DART and the Bush Turnpike will be utilized more and by a different traveler. Richardson will be able to finally see the results of mass transit development.
The project has new and super amenities, but is also close to established venues such as our Eisemann Center, Methodist Richardson Medical Center, churches and schools. CityLine, a welcomed new partner.
Marna Irby, Richardson: Since Richardson is my home, I am thrilled at the prospects of this development. It does my heart good to see growth that can only benefit the community and I like the proposed name CityLine. Richardson is a great place to live and deserves the best.
Anne Healy, Richardson: The name CityLine, chosen for the new KDC development along Central Expressway and Bush Turnpike, seems a tad nondescript. The proposed land is vacant, development is progress, so that must be a good thing. But a more imaginative title might give it a "wow" factor and spark enthusiasm for the project.
Mike Lysell, Richardson: Mixed-use development along the Dart Rail line seems to be a given so the announced plans for CiyLine are not surprising and since the project is pretty much on the Plano-Richardson boundary, the name is as appropriate as any.
While I can't claim to be a huge fan of development, people keep moving into the area and all of them need places to live, work and shop. Hopefully, those who wind up living in CityLine will also work and shop there, reducing the need to drive to other destinations. Being on the Dart Rail line should also make it easier for those who work elsewhere to commute as well as for those who live elsewhere who work there. I am a big fan of those developments that are designed to keep as many cars as possible off the road.
Since retirement, I don't travel as much as I once did, but as I drive around the Richardson area, I see fewer and fewer vacant parcels of land. I'm not sure it all needs development, but it will be sooner than later.
Carl Youngberg, Waterview Preservation in Richardson: What's in a name like CityLine? Is it a destination? Or a housing development? Did you know it is even the name of an European airline owned by Lufthansa?
I found in my retail career that retail names don't always take off immediately. Like NorthPark. Now we all agree that it is a cool name and well known as a luxury brand throughout the area. But was it always a hit with the public? They say in real estate circles that after location, location, location, next is name, name, name. When I first moved to Richardson, I went over to see Richardson Square Mall. Boy was it square. Dark and dismal and the end was clearly near.
Usually what gives a center cachet is a compelling destination business or activity, like The Shops at Legacy. Since this will be a mixed-use retail, it may end up being nothing more than shorthand to a shopping location between Richardson and Plano.
But whatever the name comes to stand for, it really means lots of jobs, services and destinations for the new folks at State Farm, and I suspect they will know it well. We could even use a CityLine right on Coit Road where the Promenade stands today.
Welcome CityLine.


text: Home > Sensors & Transducers > Sensors This article was posted on 03/05/2013 Coming to a supermarket near you: Plastic sensor circuits that digitize food freshness New technology lets buyers "test" whether food is still safe to eatTons of food gets thrown away each year because the expiration date has passed. Researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, Universitá di Catania, CEA-Liten, and STMicroelectronics got together to stop this problem, proposing a solution centered on a brand new invention: a plastic analog-digital converter (ADC). A plastic analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The technology was presented at the recent International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco. While it is impressive to see a sensor circuit made of plastic, what's even more noteworthy is the fact that it costs approximately one cent to manufacture. The circuit would be provided to producers to be included in their packaging to monitor the various levels of food that dictate freshness. This information could then be read using a scanner on a mobile phone to show the freshness of the food. "In principle that's all already possible, using standard silicon ICs," says researcher Eugenio Cantatore of Eindhoven University of Technology. "The only problem is they're too expensive. They easily cost ten cents. And that cost is too much for a one euro bag of crisps. We're now developing electronic devices that are made from plastic rather than silicon. The advantage is you can easily include these plastic sensors in plastic packaging." A typical sensor circuit consists of four components: sensor, amplifier, ADC, and radio transmitter. The missing component for the purpose of what the group is proposing here, has always been the plastic ADC. "Now that we have all of the pieces, we need the integration," says Cantatore. Making the plastic ADC was no easy process: The electrical characteristics of normal transistors are highly predictable, but those of plastic transistors vary a great deal. "All plastic transistors behave differently in the low-cost production processes at low temperatures," explains Cantatore. "That makes it much more difficult to use them in devices. You need complex mathematical models to be able to predict their behavior accurately." The final model the researchers came up with includes the following features: it offers a resolution of four bits, a speed of two hertz, and includes more than 100 n- and p-type transistors. A resistance level is on the sensor's transparent plastic substrates and the carrier mobility of the printed transistors lies above the device's amorphous silicon. Looking ahead, Cantatore says that it will probably take at least five years before buyers can expect to see this technology at the supermarket. Beyond food store shelves, he foresees other potential applications for the technology in pharmaceuticals, man-machine interfaces, and in ambient intelligence systems for buildings and transportation.

The report provides sequenced maps and statistics on the area of peatlands converted for oil palm plantations in Sarawak from 2005-2010. It builds on forest cover change and plantation concession boundary mapping results from the ongoing project 'Transparent Mapping for Sustainabe Oil Palm Plantation Development'. This document briefly reports on the results of project activities providing maps and associated statistics on the impact of oil palm plantations on forest and peatland conversion in Sarawak during the period 2005-2010.
SarVision was asked to use computer-based satellite image classification approaches to map deforestation at 50m spatial resolution. A combination of Landsat and ALOS PALSAR radar satellite imagery covering entire Sarawak from 2005-2010 was proposed. Resulting agreed thematic map classes include forest, non forest, deforestation and water. The project aimed to overlay resulting deforestation maps for 2005-2007, 2007-2009 and 2009-2010 with available peat distribution data and calculate conversion statistics.
Assessment of the accuracy of deforestation detection were to be supported by very high resolution satellite imagery in Google Earth and ground truth from local partner SADIA and others.
The infromation of this study in Sarawak was presented together with the Malaysia wide 'Quick Scan on peatlands in Malaysia' (2010).

Canon 5Dii off camera flash using Metz 58 AF-2, having problems - please help!

I'm using a canon 5Dii and have a Metz 58 AF-2 digital flash. I need to use it off camera on a tripod but cannot get this to work!?
I have the 52AF-1 and use it with Phottix odins and Yongnuo RF-602 triggers. It simply mounts in the hotshoe on the receivers and the receivers have the standard screw socket in addition to a foot such as the one on your flash..
As there isn't a pop up flash with the canon 5dii, is there any other way to trigger the flash wirelessly? I have 2 pocket wizards and can connect one into my camera's hot shoe, but there is no way to attach the other wizard to the flash on the tripod as it only appears to accept a USB wire to download and update software.
Please can anyone help? I'm stumped! Is my only option to buy another Metz flash for the top of my camera to trigger the wireless? If so - will any model of Metz work?
I have a great Minolta digital flash and tried using the Metz on my camera hotshoe to trigger the Minolta flash off camera, but this didn't work either!!
Thanks in advance.

|great route before the snow is too deep
By Nick AWL
From: Boston, MA
Feb 1, 2016
|Climbed this on January 30, 2016. The approach had light snow and ice covered boulders. Just as in the description there were a few steps of ice down low. These were thin. Following that was more easy ice and snow. There was a party ahead of us that was spitting some ice and rocks down so when they went right at the split up high we went left. After several hundred feet of snow we ended up on some nasty loose rock. The short ice step up high was very thin and was more mixed moves than anything. If the ice looks thin, be careful! We were happy there weren't any parties behind us because with the thin ice and loose rock there were quite a few rocks knocking loose.

Hi Nick! That was us raining debris on you. Sorry about that. The ice was pretty punky in places and a bit harder than the posted WI2-.
The right hand fork started off on beautiful green ice but quickly became a steep bushwhack followed my some sketchy scrambling on chossy rock slabs. We topped out near a very large cairn.
We parked one car at the Willey House Station lot (Appalachian Trail) parking lot (more of a big pull-out). We then piled in the second car, drove one mile north, and parked in the big Willey House lot. We hiked east across the bridge and after about 50 yards, turned right at the Saco River Trail junction. We found a boot trail about 100 yds. from the junction that led us straight to the gully. After topping out, we hiked south on the Webster Cliff Trail (Appalachian Trail) back to the first car. 6.5 hours car-to-car, not hurrying and in relatively easy conditions.

Be at the head of your style game with a Captain's Hat:
The fun nautical and aviator inspired accessory can go with just about anything (as the beauties above display). Wear a white cap with gold details to accessorize a tank and shorts like Ciara, pop on a black hat with a solid colored dress and leopard booties a la Rihanna, or top off an all gray outfit with a Victoria Beckham approved steely version.
I'm definitely a fan:
Bonus: It's the perfect solution to a bad hair day. Double Bonus: You don't have a spend a ton! I actually bought mine at a vintage shop here in Paris called Noir Kennedy for about 10 Euro. Cheap and Chic! If you don't have vintage offerings in your neck of the woods, try these on for size:
Will you be trying this trend?

The Rukus Solar Bluetooth Sound System came into my life in the fall–the worst time on the West coast to test a solar powered anything. But I'd been looking for an amplified Bluetooth speaker for streaming music from my iPhone, and was excited when the review unit arrived.
My streaming needs are basic—Using mp3s on my mobile device, provide music for a patio or campfire or picnic blanket. Several appropriate devices are currently on the market.
However the Rukus Solar is the only one with a solar panel and the idea that I could pump tunes while simultaneously charging my cellphone using sunlight appealed to me on both a practical and a tech-nerd basis.
Fast forward a few months. I attend a weekly kickball game in the warm months—picnic blankets, coolers, enthusiastic people receptive to music—and it seemed the perfect scenario to bust out the Rukus.
Eton, who makes the Rukus, doesn't specify wattage or much detail in their spec sheet, but I was glad to discover the Rukus paired with my phone quickly and easily, and is plenty loud for a small listening environment, and it's nice and clear, pumping out undistorted audio from its two small drivers. Sound quality isn't the best I've heard from a Bluetooth speaker, but better than most devices its size or smaller.
It's convenient to carry around, easily fitting into a backpack and equipped with a lunchbox-style handle. An elastic sleeve on the underside holds your smartphone (though of course it's Bluetooth, so you can play tunes through the Rukus with your phone in your pocket). The solar panel covers most of the top of the unit.
Now about that solar panel…
It works! Eton says it fully charges in direct sunlight in about 6 hours, and that sounds about right, given my experience. It also draws sun juice while playing back (albeit more slowly) and best of all, it can charge a dying cellphone while playing music.
In the configuration which I assume is typical—Rukus playing music from phone via Bluetooth at max volume, while simultaneously charging phone plugged into its USB port, solar panel exposed to direct sunlight—the charge doesn't quite keep up with the drain. However the Rukus is always charging as long as it's in the sun. Turn the music off for a a bit, and the solar panel draws enough juice to both recharge the unit and keep your phone battery full.
If you're looking for a wireless speaker for outdoor use to pair with your tablet or smartphone there are several options out there, but the addition of the solar panel on the Rukus unit strengthens its appeal substantially and justifies its $149 price tag, given just how frequently there's a dying cellphone at hand, alongside a communal desire for untethered tuneage.

Matilda has an area 62,327 acres (252 km2) and is located on the St Lawrence River in eastern Ontario. It was first settled in 1784 by Loyalists to the British crown after the American Revolutionary War. Many of these Loyalists were of German descent and had been settled in America for two or three generations.
The Township was formally organized in 1787 and named in honour of the Princess Royal, Charlotte Augusta Matilda, who married the King of Württemberg in 1797. During the War of 1812 a fort was located at Point Iroquois.
Communities: Iroquois, Irena, Dundela, Glen Stewart, Brinston, Hulbert and Pleasant Valley.
Since 1998 this Township has been part of Municipality of South Dundas.
The county was named in 1792 to honour Henry Dundas, who was Lord Advocate for Scotland and Colonial Secretary at the time. Matilda and Williamsburgh were two of Upper Canada's original eight Royal Townships. The northern portions of Matilda and Williamsburg townships were separated in 1798 to form the new townships of Mountain and Winchester within Dundas County.
The McIntosh apple was discovered and cultivated in South Dundas near Williamsburg. John McIntosh's parents emigrated from Inverness, Scotland to the Mohawk Valley in New York, and John moved to Upper Canada in 1796. In 1811 he acquired a farm in Dundela, and while clearing the land of second growth discovered several apple seedlings. He transplanted these, and one bore the superior fruit which became famous as the McIntosh Red apple. John's son Allan established a nursery and promoted this new species extensively. It was widely acclaimed in Ontario and the northern United States, and was introduced into British Columbia about 1910. Its popularity in North America and propagation in many lands attest the initiative and industry of John McIntosh and his descendants .
Morrisburg took its name from James Morris, Canada's first postmaster general. Morris also played an important role in canal-building in the area.
James Pliny Whitney, Ontario's sixth premier, is buried here in the cemetery of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Riverside Heights, just east of Morrisburg and north of County Road 2 (formerly Highway 2). Whitney was born in Williamsburg in 1843, represented Dundas County in the Legislature from 1888 to 1914 and served as Premier from 1905 to 1914.
Morrisburg and Iroquois were partially flooded by the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1958. Unlike the Lost Villages of Cornwall and Osnabruck Townships, however, the two towns were simply relocated to higher ground in the same area. There was an international design competition in 1954 to design the new Iroquois townsite. Canadian-British architect Wells Coates was among those who submitted redevelopment concepts.
An artificial lake, Lake Saint Lawrence, now extends from a hydroelectric dam at Cornwall to the control structure at Iroquois, and replaces the formerly narrow and turbulent section of river that was impassable to large vessels. It replaces, in part, the Long Sault rapids.
Several buildings from the Lost Villages were moved to a site near Morrisburg to create Upper Canada Village, a living museum which depicts 19th century life in Upper Canada.
In 1976, stuntman Ken Carter attempted to jump a one mile portion of the Saint Lawrence River by taking a one million dollar Lincoln Continental rocket car off an eight-storey ramp. This was billed as The Super Jump. The ramp and its runway were located in a field just west of Hanes Road, South of County road 2. The ramp has since been demolished, but the concrete runway still exists as of 2012.
Charles A. Barkley, who was elected mayor of the municipality in the 2006 municipal elections, died unexpectedly on June 17, 2009. He was a municipal politician since 1981 when he joined the Township of Matilda council. He was succeeded by deputy mayor Robert Gillard.
Research Tips
The map of Dundas County circa 1951 from Ontario Archives locates the communities and physical features of the county. (Click at the bottom of the page to see the map enlarged.)
The primary source for basic documents (vital statistics, land records, wills) for people who lived in the Province of Ontario is the Archives of Ontario, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M7A 2C5.
Early Records
Civil registration did not begin in the province until 1869. Before then there may be church records of baptisms and burials. For the most part these are still held by the denomination who recorded them. Copies of marriage records made pre-1869 had to be sent by individual clergymen to the registrar of the county in which the marriage took place. These marriage records are available through Ontario Archives, on micorfilm through LDS libraries, and on paid and unpaid websites, but because they were copied at the registrars' offices, they cannot be considered a primary source.
Vital Records after 1869
Birth, marriage and death registrations are not open to the public until a specific number of years after the event occurred. Births to 1915 are now available [October 2014]; dates for marriages and deaths are later. Birth and death registration was not universally carried out in the early years after its adoption. Deaths were more apt to be reported than births for several years. The more rural the area, the less likely it would be that these happenings were reported to the authorities.
Land Records and Wills
Information on how to access land records and wills is best sought on the Archives of Ontario website. An ancestor's land holding might be found on Canadian County Atlas Digital Project if he was in occupancy circa 1878.
Association for the Preservation of Ontario Land Registry Office Documents (APOLROD). A list of Land Registry Offices for all Counties of Ontario.
The original censuses are in the hands of Library and Archives Canada, known to Canadians as "LAC". Copies of original microfilms are online at the LAC website for all censuses up to 1911. Each census database is preceded with an explanation of the geographical area covered, the amount of material retained (some census division material has been lost), the questions on the census form, and whether there is a name index. Census divisions were redrawn as the population increased and more land was inhabited. The 1921 census is only available through Ancestry.ca, but it is free-to-view.

As Tehran and world powers inch closer to a final nuclear agreement, Iran is poised to become a major emerging power. 30 Jun 2014 11:41 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Argentina, Brazil, China The West has long sought to dismiss Iran as a rogue nation, with limited human capital and underdeveloped technological and scientific capabilities, writes Heydarian [Iran]By Richard Javad Heydarian @Richeydarian Richard Javad Heydarian is a specialist in Asian geopolitical/economic affairs. Story highlightsTo almost everyone's surprise, Iran nearly managed to pull off the impossible in this year's biggest international sporting event, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. After a superb defensive game against Nigeria, the reigning African champion, the West Asian country came very close to securing another draw with Argentina, a top contender for this year's world cup. Arguably, Iran could have even won the match. Towards the end of the match, Iran launched a number of dangerous counterattacks, which could have very well handed the Persians a dreamy victory. In fact, the Iranians have vociferously criticized the game's referee, Milorad Mazic, who waved away an arguably legitimate penalty in the second half of the match. In the end, with the Iranians failing to capitalize on theirThe lightning advance of the group now calling itself the Islamic Caliphate (formerly known as Islamic State in Iraq and Levant) throughout the north and eastern portions of Iraq has rattled governments across the region and beyond. For the first time in recent memory, there is the possibility that a terrorist group could end up controlling the geographical heart of the Middle East, home to one of the world's largest hydrocarbon reserves. Quite paradoxically, such a worrying prospect has pushed Tehran and Washington closer to each other, as the two powers contemplate a modus vivendi to contain the menace and aid the flailing Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki-led government in Baghdad, which has been criticised for its lack of inclusive governance and increasingly authoritarian tendencies. Given their shared strategic concern over the rapid proliferation of violent groups such as the Islamic Caliphate, there is a growing conversation about the possibility of a tactical alliance between the West and Iran - paving the way for a fundamental reconfiguration in the regional balance of power. Above all, however, the greater issue at hand is the gradual re-emergence of Iran, currently among the world's 20 largest economies, as a serious international power, after years of geopolitical isolation and bitter ideological competition with the West. And it is the combination of pragmatism and resilience that underpins Iran's increasingly successful bid for (retaking) a pride of place among the world's leading nations. Beyond Deng and Gorbachev After his landslide victory in mid-2013, when tens of millions of Iranians unequivocally voted for greater pragmatism and moderation in the country's domestic and foreign policies, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani assembled one of the most capable governments in Iranian history. In fact, his cabinet boasts more American PhDs than the White House. Today, Rouhani oversees a highly professional, technocratic government, with an intimate understanding of not only international affairs, but also the US political system and its vagaries. A year into office, the Rouhani administration has not only addressed pressing macroeconomic issues, particularly an explosive inflation and a collapsing domestic currency, but it has also managed to sustain a series of high-stakes negotiations with world powers to resolve a decade-long crisis over Iran's nuclear programme. Obviously, critics at home and abroad have sought to derail the Rouhani administration's efforts to negotiate a permanent settlement of the Iranian nuclear crisis with Western powers, especially Washington. A year into his office, the Rouhani administration has not only addressed pressing macroeconomic issues, particularly an explosive inflation and a collapsing domestic currency, but it has also managed to sustain a series of high-stakes negotiations with the world powers to resolve a decade-long crisis over Iran's nuclear programme. There is a high possibility that the ongoing negotiations will be extended beyond the July deadline, as Iran and world powers enter the final stages of negotiating a long-term nuclear agreement, which would theoretically allow Tehran to retain a measure of domestic enrichment capability in return for an end to Western sanctions against Iran's financial and hydrocarbon sectors. Nonetheless, one can't deny that for the first time in decades, there is a real possibility of more normalised relations between Tehran and the West, potentially sparking a huge influx of Western investment and technology into the country. As the current head of the Iranian government, President Rouhani has managed to carefully navigate Iran's multi-polar domestic power structure. Emphasising regime stability and preservation, he has convinced leading conservatives to support his often contentious diplomatic overtures towards the West. Meanwhile, he managed to attract the support of leading pragmatists and reformists by constantly emphasising his advocacy for greater socio-political freedom, economic revival, and political engagement with the wider world. In many ways, Rouhani represents one of the most consequential pragmatists in the opening decades of the 21st century. Far from emulating the Soviet Union's President Mikhail Gorbachev, whose political reforms precipitated the collapse of the Soviet Union, and China's Deng Xiaoping, who constantly pushed for economic liberalisation at the expense of political freedom, Rouhani is laying the foundations of an Iran that is economically dynamic, politically vibrant, and geopolitically powerful. The lion awakens Long dismissed as one of the weakest teams in this year's World Cup, the Iranian football team, also known as Team Melli, had to overcome a pernicious combination of financial difficulties and administrative nightmares to prepare for the likes of Argentina. Due to Western sanctions, which prevented Tehran from collecting funds from international sponsors, Iran could barely organise a decent preparatory campaign ahead of the World Cup tournament. But against all odds, they eventually managed to win the respect of millions of fans across the world, cementing Team Melli's reputation as one of the most powerful Asian teams in recent history. One could argue that initial misperceptions vis-a-vis Team Melli somehow mirror the broader misunderstanding of Iran as a country, and its achievements in recent decades. The West has long sought to dismiss Iran as a rogue nation, with limited human capital and underdeveloped technological and scientific capabilities. Given Iran's dependence on hydrocarbon exports, Western powers sought to change Iran's strategic by imposing restrictions on Iran's ability to conduct international trade and finance its domestic development. Without a question, the sanctions have been devastating, severely undermining Iran's macroeconomic conditions as well as its access to basic necessities such as food and medicine. But a combination of resilience and increasing pragmatism has allowed Iran to not only emerge as a sporting powerhouse, especially in Asia, but, more importantly, as one of the most dynamic countries in the developing world. Today, Iran stands among leading countries in cutting-edge sciences such as stem cell research and nanotechnology. As the Middle East's leading scientific power, Iran has managed to attain growing self-sufficiency in terms of space and nuclear technology, while leading Iranian universities have been producing among the best engineers in the world. After decades of rural development and pro-active developmental policies, Iran is among the leading Asian countries in terms of human development index, while boasting among the largest steel and automobile manufacturing bases in the developing world. Overall, the main strength of the Rouhani administration is its profound realisation of the necessity to launch a creative diplomatic approach to remove artificial political constraints, which have prevented the full flowering of the immense potential of the Iranian people and the efficient utilisation of the country's immense hydrocarbon wealth. As we inch closer to a post-sanctions Iran, we shouldn't be surprised to hear more leading global financial institutions describing the country as one of the most promising economies of the 21st century - and perhaps the next China.

We Got Da Funk
Chris & Jesse Funk combine for 27 points in Freemen win
Chris Funk poured in 14 points, while brother Jesse added 13 to lead the Freemen to a 67-40 victory over College Universitaire de Saint-Boniface Saturday evening.
However it wasn't the offense that earned Providence a victory in their last game before the break. Freemen coach Juan Larios has been stressing the importance of defensive tenacity to his team all season long, and Saturday night his team responded in a big way as Providence came out and forced CUSB into an amazing 25 first half turnovers en route to their most impressive defensive half thus far in the season.
"Team defense was exceptional," Freemen coach Juan Larios commented after the game. "It was the key to our success."
The Freemen then used their defensive prowess to jumpstart their counterattack against a very athletic CUSB squad. Joel Coursey also established himself as a dominant force down low, and in the end the Freemen earned their third consecutive victory against CUSB with a 67-40 score.
Coach Larios left the game impressed with his team's defensive effort and with the improvement he has already seen from his squad thus far in the season. He also sees the break as an opportunity for his players to work on their shooting consistency heading into the second half of the season.
"We are really improving in all aspects," Coach Larios said. "Team defense and our ability to give teams different defensive sets is a key to our success and for the most part the team is seeing the advantage of this strategy. Our main concern over the break is focusing on offensive strategy."

TAMPA — Students will have more to come back to than classes and textbooks in the fall. Lingerie legend Victoria's Secret has purchased the right to use the University of South Florida's logo.
Though there will be no USF bra or panty, the Victoria's Secret Pink Collegiate Collection will feature sweatpants, T-shirts, tank tops, shorts and other clothing adorned with the Pink logo and Bull pride.
Starting June 22, the clothes will be available at vspink.com . Though no Victoria's Secret store will carry it locally, the USF Bookstore will carry the line starting in the fall semester.
Jeff Mack, USF assistant vice president for campus business services, said this is another opportunity for USF to expand its national outreach.
"It was sort of a win-win for the university," Mack said.
The partnership, and the Pink line itself, gives Victoria's Secret a chance to reach a newer, younger audience, said Sara Tervo, spokeswoman for Pink.
"What a great idea to combine the two iconic brands," Tervo said.
The Collegiate Collection debuted July 2008. Many factors went into bringing USF on board nearly a year later, she said.
More than 10 million people voted for their schools when Victoria's Secret took nominations for more schools. USF was in the top 30 out of the hundreds of schools nominated. Also, USF's size, its student and alumni population and its willingness to participate also contributed as deciding factors.
"We thought it would be a great addition," Tervo said.
The partnership will also give USF an opportunity to make some money. In times of decreasing state dollars, USF will collect 10 percent in royalties on merchandise sold.
This money, unlike many dollars that come to USF, isn't specifically earmarked. Though it's hard to say what type of impact this money will make, if it makes any at all, the university administrators will be able to spend it any way they want.
"The more merchandise that sells out there, that's more dollars that the university will get," Mack said.
USF stands to lose $36 million from the $305 million provided by state taxes, bringing the number down to about $269 million. This comes on the heels of a $52 million cut in state funds from the last fiscal year, said USF provost Ralph Wilcox.
USF is one of 24 new schools that will be added to the Victoria's Secret Pink Collegiate Collection. The line, geared toward college-age women, already features the University of Florida, Florida State University, Florida A & M and the University of Miami.
USF students are excited their school's brand will be carried by Victoria's Secret.
"We needed it," said Amanda Mock, a senior. She said it will help put USF on the map next to more well-known Florida schools.
Amanda Wintenburg, also a senior, said she thinks it will help the school boost its image across the state.
"I don't know about nationally," she said.

I got my first injection of Restylane 2 days ago...My doctor was very gentle with me and he gave me a dental block so I almost didn't feel anything..He injected me a complete syringe into the upper lip. I only felt a small pinch on the right side which was less frozen.
When I got home...OMG !! My lip was very swelled and I looked like a duck..Awful! Also, when I smile or when I speak, my lip is tense and I don't like that! I look stiff.
Now I just want my lip back and I have to wait for months...BIG mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Sox pitcher Manny Delcarmen loves to bowl – and later this month, he'll be helping local schools while doing so.
The Hyde Park, Mass. native will host his annual "Bowlin' Strikes for Schools" event Monday, June 28 at Jillian's Boston to raise money for Boston Public Schools.
Delcarmen, a product of the Boston Public Schools system and an avid bowler, has raised over $70,000 with this event since 2005.
"I'm excited to again be hosting a charity event that combines my passion for bowling with my desire to assist the Boston Public Schools," said Delcarmen. "There has been a lot written over the past year about the needs of the Boston Public Schools for funding for its athletic programs, and I'm pleased to be able to bring together my friends and Red Sox fans to do our part to help out."
The event kicks off at 6 p.m., featuring food, prizes and special guest appearances. Two lucky fans will have the chance to make a 7-10 split to win a $50,000 prize, with the same amount donated to the Boston Public Schools in their name.

Conn., New Hampshire students win EPA grants
STORRS, Conn.—Two universities in New England are receiving grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for projects that propose creative solutions to environmental protection and sustainable energy.
Student teams at the University of Connecticut and University of New Hampshire both received $15,000 each in the program and a chance to show their designs at a national competition next spring against 43 other collegiate teams.
Top winners will get $90,000 to improve their designs so they can launch the initiatives.
The UConn project involves using industrial byproducts such as cement kiln ash and steel slag to control erosion and stabilize roads in developing countries.
The UNH project involves harnessing energy for lights, signals and emergency warning systems from the wind generated by traffic or flowing under bridges.

THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ; In Days Before Hanging, a Push for Revenge and a Push Back From the U.S.
This article was reported by John F. Burns, James Glanz, Sabrina Tavernise and Marc Santora and written by Mr. Burns.; David E. Sanger contributed reporting from Washington, and Iraqi employees of The New York Times from Baghdad.
Published: January 7, 2007
When American soldiers woke Saddam Hussein in his cell near Baghdad airport at 3:55 a.m. last Saturday, they told him to dress for a journey to Baghdad. He had followed the routine dozens of times before, traveling by helicopter in the predawn darkness to the courtroom where he spent 14 months on trial for his life.
When his cell lights were dimmed on Friday night, Mr. Hussein may have hoped that he would live a few days longer, and perhaps cheat the hangman altogether.
According to Task Force 134, the American military unit responsible for all Iraqi detainees, Mr. Hussein ''had heard some of the rumors on the radio about potential execution dates.'' But never one to understate his own importance, he had told his lawyers for months that the Americans might spare him in the end, for negotiations to end the insurgency whose daily bombings rattled his cellblock windows.
As Mr. Hussein prepared to walk out into the chill of the desert winter, dressed in a tailored black overcoat, that last illusion was shattered. After being roused and told that he was being transferred to Iraqi custody, a task force statement e-mailed to The New York Times a week later revealed, ''he immediately indicated that he knew the execution would soon follow.''
''As he left the detention area, he thanked the guards and medics for the treatment he had received,'' said Lt. Col. Keir-Kevin Curry, spokesman for the task force. Mr. Hussein was then driven to a waiting Black Hawk helicopter for a 10-minute flight to the old Istikhbarat prison in northern Baghdad, where a party of Iraqi officials awaited him at the gallows. ''During this brief period of transfer, Saddam Hussein appeared more serious,'' the task force said.
The time as the helicopter took off was 5:05 a.m., and Mr. Hussein had 65 minutes to live. But as he flew over Baghdad's darkened suburbs, he can have known little of the last-minute battle waged between top Iraqi and American officials -- and among the Americans themselves -- over whether the execution, fraught with legal ambiguities and Islamic religious sensitivities, should go ahead.
American opposition to executing him in haste centered partly on the fact that the Id al-Adha religious holiday, marking the end of the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, began for Sunnis at sunrise on Saturday. In Baghdad, the sun was to rise at 7:06 a.m. Iraqi government officials had promised the hanging would be over before the dawn light began seeping through the palms that shade the capital's streets.
The taunts Mr. Hussein endured from Shiite guards as he stood with the noose around his neck have made headlines around the world, and stirred angry protests among his fellow Iraqi Sunnis. But the story of how American commanders and diplomats fought to halt the execution until midnight on Friday, only six hours before Mr. Hussein was hanged, is only now coming into focus, as Iraqi and American officials, in the glare of international outrage over the hanging, compete with their versions of what happened.
Tensions Boil Over
It is a story of the Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, trying to coerce second-tier American military and diplomatic officials into handing over Mr. Hussein, first on Thursday night, then again on Friday. The American push back was complicated by the absences of Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and the top American military commander, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., who were both out of Iraq on leave. The American message throughout was that rushing Mr. Hussein to the gallows could rebound disastrously, as it did.
It is a story, too, of the Americans disagreeing among themselves. After a final call to Mr. Maliki at 10:30 p.m. Friday, American and Iraqi officials said, Mr. Khalilzad concluded that there was no prospect of persuading the Iraqis to delay the execution and passed that message to Washington. The conclusion found little favor with the military, who were the ones who had to transport Mr. Hussein to the gallows.
For General Casey and Mr. Khalilzad, close partners here, the messy ending for Mr. Hussein was made worse by the confirmation this week that Mr. Bush will soon replace both men as he refashions his Iraq war policy.
There were disputes among the Iraqis as well. At least one senior judge from the tribunal that sentenced Mr. Hussein to die, and three American lawyers who worked closely with the Iraqis at his trials, fought their own rearguard battle, telling fellow Iraqis how surprised they were that he received the death sentence in the narrow case that produced it -- the ''systematic persecution'' of Dujail, a small Shiite town north of Baghdad, after an alleged assassination attempt against Mr. Hussein there in 1982.
In interviews with dozens of American and Iraqi officials involved in the hanging, a picture has emerged of a clash of cultures and political interests, reflecting the widening gulf between Americans here and the Iraqi exiles who rode to power behind American tanks. Even before a smuggled cellphone camera recording revealed the derision Mr. Hussein faced on the gallows, the hanging had become a metaphor, among Mr. Maliki's critics, for how the ''new Iraq'' is starting to resemble the repressive, vengeful place it was under Mr. Hussein, albeit in a paler shade.


text: I've recently transferred to Philadelphia University from the Art Institute of Philadelphia to finish my schooling on a high note while majoring in Animation. I was diagnosed with Crohn's just after I turned 14 and struggled with it throughout all of high school, never really entering remission until after I graduated. I still struggle with my Crohn's on a regular basis, but I definitely haven't let it hold me back from going for what I want, including following my dream to go to school, and applying as much of myself as I can into becoming an animator. I've always had my mom as support through my Crohn's, as she also has it, but I love to talk to and meet others with the same problems and learn their stories and share support. College is hard enough without the added stress of health problems, and having a strong support group behind you is so important.

William Higgins, the district attorney of Bedford County, says he committed adultery but not a crime when he had sex with a woman in his courthouse office six weeks ago.
The woman, though, now says Mr. Higgins sexually assaulted her the night of July 10. She filed a private criminal complaint against him Friday with District Judge H. Cyril Bingham Jr. of Bedford.
Because the accused is the district attorney, one of Mr. Higgins' assistants forwarded the case to state Attorney General Tom Corbett, who will decide whether to file charges.
Mr. Corbett yesterday authorized an investigation into the woman's allegations. A prosecutor and agents from the attorney general's staff were being assigned to the case, said Kevin Harley, a spokesman for Mr. Corbett.
Mr. Higgins, who is 34 and married, said the woman's allegations were "personally and politically motivated." A Republican who was re-elected to his second term as district attorney last year, he declined to elaborate on how politics figured into the allegation against him.
"I've been more than candid about this situation," he said in a telephone interview. "But I'm not going to talk about it beyond what I've said in my prepared statement."
His sexual encounter with the woman followed a committee meeting of Bedford County Republicans. Mr. Higgins was vice chairman of the county GOP at the time.
By his account, the woman drove to his office to meet him, and they had consensual sex.
The attorney general's staff said the woman alleges sexual misconduct by Mr. Higgins, but it would not release a copy of her allegations. Mr. Harley said a citizen's complaint is not a public record unless it leads to criminal charges.

I've had a Moultrie D50 for several years now. I've gotten many pictures of deer, hogs, coyotes, rabbits, bobcats owls, etc. with it. If I remember it cost me about $70.00. Very easy to program. It takes good pictures and I am well satisfied with it.
It doesn't have a rapid trigger time so in order to get good pictures you have to put bait, or something, to get the animals attention and slow it down for a moment in order to give the camera time to fire. Animals that just run past don't give it enough time to work in most cases or you just get blurry images.
I also have had 2 other expensive infrared cameras that were a PIA to program and didn't take decent pictures.
Here's a couple of shots, you can judge for yourself.

(JTA) — San Francisco residents could get a chance to vote on banning brit milah, or Jewish ritual circumcision, if a proposed measure gets on next November's ballot.
The measure would "make it a misdemeanor to circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the foreskin, testicle or penis of another person who has not attained the age of 18," according to reports that surfaced late last week.
The measure was proposed by San Francisco resident and anti-male circumcision advocate Lloyd Schofield. Schofield must collect 7,168 valid signatures by April 26, 2011.
It's not clear whether the proposed law would stand constitutional scrutiny given the clause guaranteeing free excercise of religion.

I love how Labor Day just kind of sneaks up on me every year. I try not to think about it too much and then all of a sudden, it's a welcomed surprise. I do this kind of mental psych-out with my Netflix queue, too. I'll put movies I'd like to see in my queue and I do not revisit the synopsis of the movies so that it is almost a complete surprise. Hmm..not sure what that says about me.
Friday and Sunday evening we got together with good friends and really enjoyed the food and company. Friday evening we went to a restaurant with friends that are expecting a baby in about 4 weeks! The husbands took up half our table with their fajitas and giant beers, Lynn had a pasty (the Northern Michigan favorite) and I had grilled buffalo shrimp over rice. Everything was tasty and we were able to enjoy our meals outside because of the beautiful weather. Sunday evening we took a drive to another good friends' house and had a tasty Labor Day barbecue with a pretty fruit and cheese tray to start. We also enjoyed rum and cokes and white wine on their deck and even got in a couple games of Ladder Ball. The mosquitoes also had quite the feast, compliments of everyone but Marc and we had to take the party inside. Is that weird that Marc never, ever, ever gets bug bites while I've had at least 40 bites this summer? At least.
Saturday evening we were on our own and I had a sirloin steak for 2-3 defrosting, 1/2 C. of bleu cheese left over and I had purchased baby portabella mushrooms a few days earlier that needed attention. Ree of the Pioneer Woman made the most delicious looking ribeye steaks with onion-bleu cheese sauce that I knew my husband would love. I thought it would be the perfect way to use the rest of my bleu cheese and if Ree was swooning over it, well then it must be made, right? I just had to pick up some heavy cream and I had the rest of the ingredients. LOVE that. Since my mushrooms were looking at me so sadly from the fridge, I decided to cook those up, too.
So, if you can imagine…Marc grilled a 1 1/2 lb. sirloin to medium rare perfection and then this delicious steak was sliced and perched on the silky onion-bleu cheese sauce and then I topped it with portabella mushrooms. Oh yeah, that's right. And I did steam some fresh green beans, too, as some sort of "hey, there are still greens on the plate" moment. I told Marc that this dish is easy and impressive enough that it would be perfect for entertaining a few people. Oh so yummy. I also told Marc that I can't believe I shut mushrooms out of my life for so long and that this meal made me very sad about that. Until, oh, 6 months ago, I would not let mushrooms near my plate. I'm still not a big fan of the plain white mushroom, but these baby portabellas sauteed up? Whole 'nother story.
Recipe: Grilled Sirloin with Onion-Bleu Cheese Sauce
Very slightly adapted from the incomparable Pioneer Woman
Serves 2-3
1 1/2 lb. sirloin steak
salt and pepper to taste
4 T. unsalted butter
1 very large sweet onion (or yellow), sliced
3/4 C. heavy cream (I pour it into the measuring cup and let it sit out to take the chill off)
1/2 C. bleu cheese
1. Grill steaks to medium rare. We used our charcoal grill and it was about 4 minutes per side (depends on the thickness of your meat). You can also do this on the gas grill, in a cast iron skillet or in a grill pan (like Ree). Start making the sauce while the meat is grilling and let it rest for 10 minutes when it is done.
2. Saute onions in 4 T. butter over high heat. Cook for 7-10 minutes until the onion are dark and caramelized.
3. Reduce heat to simmer and pour in the cream. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until reduced by half.
4. Stir in bleu cheese until melted and transfer any accumulated juices from your rested meat to the pan.
5. Slice steak and serve over generous portions of the sauce.
Recipe: Sauteed Baby Portabellas with Thyme
My Recipe
If you want to top your steak and onion-bleu cheese sauce with these, start cooking at the same time as you prepare the onion-bleu sauce.
16 oz. baby portabellas, washed, sliced and stems removed (I know many people say to just wipe with a damp cloth, but Jacques Pepin says that I can wash my mushrooms, so I do)
2 T. butter
1- 1 1/2 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 t. dried thyme
1. Melt 2 T. butter in 12″ cast iron skillet or other large skillet. When butter just melts, add your mushrooms to the pan.
2. When mushrooms just begin to wilt, add salt (start with 1 t. and add more, if desired), pepper and thyme (before you add thyme, rub it between your hands to release extra flavor). Stir. Check for seasoning, make sure it is to your taste.
3. Cook mushrooms until they have become brown and aromatic, about 10 minutes.
Now, you may be wondering what we had on Labor Day, itself. Well, I was in a motivated mood, so while I had Marc organizing his pile of papers in the office, I painted our large front window and a soffet that I've been itching to paint for about 2 years. Marc told me he needed to patch around the recessed lighting at least one more time, but I finally asked if I could just paint it and success! In anticipation of getting some things done around the house, I made most of our feast ahead of time, but sadly, I have no pictures. By the time we got around to dinner it was late, it was raining and we were starving. Not a good situation for photo taking. I will attach links to the recipes I used and when I make these again, I'll make sure to post the pics!
Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri (via Rox at Tasty Kitchen)
This was very tasty, but I thought that the 2 T. salt in the marinade made the steak a bit too salty and I love salt! I commented on her post to see if there was a misunderstanding, but other than that, it was very good. The steak was so tender and the chimichurri was a fun new experiment. I made a 1 1/2 lb. skirt steak and there was plenty of chimichurri left over. I'm going to try to pour the rest over pasta and see how that goes. The steak was medium rare after grilling it for 4 minutes per side and a 10 minute rest.
Jalapeno Poppers (aka Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies via Pioneer Woman)
Holy good! This was a lovely start to the meal considering we were starving. Well, we felt like we were. These are head and shoulders above any frozen jalapeno popper you've ever had and they are so easy. Not much harder than spending way to0 much for one of those party boxes. The jalapenos have a bit of heat, but they are not too spicy with the seeds removed. Instead of following PW's oven directions, we put these babies on the grill for about 10 minutes and they were perfection!
Grilled Corn Salad (via recipegirl.com)
Over-the-top yummy and so easy. When Marc grilled our sirloin, I had him throw on 6 ears of corn (I used 6 and not 5 because the cute, older man that sells me his tasty produce sells them in bunches of 6 and I didn't know what I'd do with the extra). I also subbed in sweet Vidalia onion for the red onion because I had it on hand. When the corn cooled, I assembled the salad and let it sit overnight, as suggested, and my husband was very happy with this dish. Not only do bugs not bite him, he does not like eating corn on the cob. What?!? I know. Since he cuts the corn off the cob every time I make it, I think he loved not having to do any extra work. A beautiful summer dish. Thanks Recipe Girl!

Hello everypony. This week, you get spared from my rambling for a guest pep talk (just like the real NaNo! ... okay, not really). One of the other pre-readers has decided to be totally epic and volunteered to write this one in my stead. Hopefully he's more eloquent than me. It can be found here: https://docs.google.com/
document/d/ 1FV1MrUl9LjKLElb1cRhb_ EUjAwW8HrhpiaNDd4Xwy2A/edit? hl=en_US
Got through all that? Okay, I'm not quite done here. I'm mostly wanting to say that I will be attending BroNYcon with several other ponies... 200+ of them, as a matter of fact. Given permission from the legendary and awesome Purple Tinker, I'll compile the photos I'll be taking and perhaps have a BroNYcon post (with Seth/Cereal/Phoe's permission) when I get back on Monday. Since I'll be gone, I don't want anypony slacking! This is just shy of crunch time, and you're entering the home stretch. Make me proud, folks!

According to AFP, two U.S. delegates left early, with one saying "it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer." Wow, that's a vote of confidence for the former governor, don't you think so? Of course, she probably has no clue about the slap on the cheek as a result of these two delegates' actions. "I'm going to call it like I see it and I will share with you candidly a view right from Main Street, Main Street U.S.A.," Palin told a room full of asset managers and other finance professionals, according to a media reports. "And how perhaps my view of Main Street … how that affects you and your business." People we are talking about Wasilla, Alaska. That is vastly different from Main Street New York, for that matter.
Palin spoke out against government intervention in the economy. "We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place," Palin said, according to the Wall Street Journal. "We're not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom," she added. She also praised the conservative economic policies of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, according to another attendee who declined to be named because he didn't want to be seen as speaking on behalf of his company. She claimed that if taxes were cut and the capital gains tax and estate tax eliminated, the world would "watch the U.S. economy roar back to life."
Palin argued that many average Americans are uncomfortable with health care reforms that infringe on private enterprise, Chris Palmer, an American fund manager for Gartmore Investment Ltd., told reporters. She didn't refer to President Barack Obama by name, the Wall Street Journal reported, but said she called his campaign promises "nebulous, utopian sounding… Now 10 months later, though, a lot of Americans are asking: more government? Is that the change we want?" Source: AFP
Sorry, but this speech will not help to burnish her international credentials. This Hong Kong trip was an attempt to defray some legal and other bills that she has. If she could diss the president in public, God knows what she would say in private.

I Want to Consolidate All My Debt. But How?
Posted January 23, 2014
WRAL Reader Question
Dear Steve,
I have $25,000 in school loans, also $10,000 to payback to the state, another $5,000. In credit card debt, along with child support payments. Rent and other living expenses, I would like a way to consolidate this debt so I can repay it , but don't know how to go about this.
How do I get my student loans and other debts consolidated so I can make a doable payment each month?
Click here to get my free my weekday email newsletter with the latest tips and advice on how to beat debt and do better financially. Subscribe now.
Dear Paula,
I'm not sure what has led to your accumulation of debt but it seems clear it has been building over time.
Keep in mind that debt is not the problem, it is the symptom of the true underlying issue. And that issue might be as simple as under earning or running into unexpected expenses which surprise you when you don't have a solid emergency fund.
For your school loans I'd suggest you read this guide for some good options. On the amount you owe to the State you should inquire what your payment options are and see if they offer a repayment plan you can afford. Often the state and federal interest rates charged on such plans are very reasonable and much less expensive than a consolidation loan.
The credit card debt can be simple to knock out but the issue might just be the credit card balance is the result of placing expenses you can't pay in cash on the credit card. Essentially financing a life beyond your income. One big clue is if your balance in increasing rather than being paid off.
The goal should be to get your life to fit back within your income, obligations, and factor in some amount to save each month to build or rebuild your emergency savings account. The only surefire way to do that is generally to increase your income, reduce your expenses, or both.
The credit card debt is the least problematic debt. If you disregard the student loan debt you may find 20 percent more tacked onto the balance as a penalty fee and your wages administratively garnished, the State can garnish your wages as well after suing you and may even put a lien on your assets, depending on what the debt is for. And of course not paying your child support payments can cause you to lose your drivers license or worse.
But if you want to look into a debt consolidation loan then I suggest you read this guide on what to look for and what to avoid.

Don Cheadle and Bruce Greenwood are Ready for Liftoff in 'Flight'
Robert Zemeckis' Flight is destined for greatness. Most people immediately amp up their optimism when they hear that Denzel Washington is headlining a new movie, and for good reason. But he is not the only aspect of this drama about an alcoholic pilot whose guilt and public shame regarding a near-accident drive him into a downward spiral. As we reported last week, Denzel's lead character, whose name is Whip (that is actually one of my favorite parts of this whole thing), will, in his time of darkness, befriend an equally troubled drug addict named Nicole—she will be played by the soon-to-be-a-household-name Kelly Reilly. But the good news expands with the inclusion of Bruce Greenwood (yes) and Don Cheadle (yesser).
There is no word on what characters Greenwood or Cheadle will take. The movie heavily revolves around an investigation of Whip and his responsibility for the incident on the flight, so we can assume that a political figure or legal official leading the investigation might be a major role.
In fact, the whole story is full of great potential characters for either of these two fine actors. There are copilots, flight attendants, passengers on the plane, the quick-witted doctor forced to attend to the ailing cockpit, the rowdy US Navy pilot whose bravado results in the death of his friend, the inhabitants of the mysterious island where the plane crash-lands…learn from the greats, Zemeckis. Learn from the greats.
