STEVE CHIOTAKIS: Word today from the government that consumer prices rose half a percent in March. But the nation's so-called core inflation level -- which doesn't include energy and food prices -- only nudged up very slightly.
Jill Schlesinger is editor at large at CBS/MoneyWatch. She's with us live from New York -- as she is every Friday. Good morning Jill.
JILL SCHLESINGER: Good morning.
CHIOTAKIS: So inflation usually indicates the economy is growing too quickly. Why are prices rising if the economy's still isn't, as we all have heard, firing at all cylinders?
SCHLESINGER: Well, you know after the debt bubble burst, and the Great Recession began we entered a period of really low prices. And the Fed's policies since then were actually aimed at lifting prices so that we didn't slide into a deflationary period when prices go down. Now those policies are combining with a lot of growth in emerging economies and putting pressure on prices. But more so on that headline number -- that top number which does exclude energy and food then the core number that strips them out.
CHIOTAKIS: Let's talk about that and how the government takes out energy and food to determine the so-called core inflation. But I still have to buy gas, and I still have to buy bread and milk at the grocery store. Why does the government take that stuff out.
SCHLESINGER: Well the government knows that we still have to pay for those things, but Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has said that core inflation is a better predictor of where overall inflation is headed. Because food and energy are really volatile, and they can distort the inflationary landscape. So the Fed relies on this core number to help it form its policy. And right now the Fed's unofficial target for core CPI is 2 percent through the 12-months ended in March, the core has increased only 1.2 percent. So Fed governors are likely to maintain their current policy.
CHIOTAKIS: CPI -- all right, consumer price index. We thank you Jill Schlesinger from CBS/Moneywatch.
SCHLESINGER: Take care.

Farmer set to make spot start Wednesday
PITTSBURGH -- The Tigers were being touted as World Series contenders for a rotation deep enough that Rick Porcello was their fifth starter. Less than two weeks later, they're looking to Robbie Ray and Buck Farmer for starts in crucial games in the thick of a playoff race.
Ray will start Tuesday's against the Pirates at PNC Park, followed by Farmer to open the Detroit portion of the home-and-home series Wednesday at Comerica Park.
For Ray, the move was expected. The return prospect in the Doug Fister trade was the next starter in line at Triple-A Toledo, and was pronounced as the fill-in for injured Anibal Sanchez when the Tigers announced Sunday morning he was headed to the disabled list.
Farmer, however, was a surprise, and not just for the name. He was a fifth-round Draft pick last year out of Georgia Tech and made 18 starts at Class A West Michigan before starting two games for Double-A Erie.
Combine the two levels, and the 23-year-old right-hander is 11-5 with a 2.65 ERA, allowing 101 hits over 115 2/3 innings with 28 walks and 127 strikeouts. But of course, he has done so against younger competition.
The success vaulted him into the eighth spot on MLB.com's list of top Tigers prospects. His ETA to the Majors, however, was listed at 2016.
His biggest advantage going into his Major League debut will be that so few teams have seen him that there'll be little from which to create a scouting report.
"He's pitched very well," Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "He's got good stuff. Ideally, you'd have more development time. I haven't seen him myself really, maybe one start. Our guys like him. Actually, that's why we moved him to Double-A, because we were concerned about if we need extra pitching down the road, at least to give him some exposure at the next level, and he's pitched very well there twice."
Farmer is not on the 40-man roster, so the Tigers will have to open a spot. They'll also have to create a spot on the 25-man roster.

This weekend, Bradley Cooper's options are Limitless, thanks to the magic of drugs. Mmm… Drugs. Drugs are bad, mmkay, but sometimes real-life drugs just aren't bad enough, forcing filmmakers to make the damned things up. From the intelligence-boosting 'smart drug' NZT in Limitless to the emotion-sapping Prozium in Equilibrium, movies are filled with fake drugs that we can't say 'No' to… because they don't exist. Here are our ten favorites.
The Fear Gas from Batman Begins (2005)
"Well, you know how it is, Mr. Fox. You're out at night, looking for kicks, someone's passing around the weaponized hallucinogens…"
Before Bruce Wayne could become a good role model he first had to take a bunch of hallucinogenic drugs. What, did Grant Morrison write this movie? Batman overcomes his own nightmares thanks to the smoke from a rare blue flower, but in the hands of Dr. Crane (Cillian Murphy), the drug becomes a 'fear gas' that sends all of Gotham into terrified anarchy. The only thing to fear is fear itself… and drugs. Don't do drugs, kids. (Unless you're Batman. Then it's perfectly all right.)
Prozium from Equilibrium (2002)
Christian Bale does even more drugs in this action-packed sci-fi spectacle from 2002. Equilibrium takes place in a dystopian future in which everyone on Earth is hooked on Prozium, a chemical that suppresses emotional responses. Emotions, you see, have become the latest scapegoat of a Totalitarian regime that has outlawed love, hate, everything in between and even works of art which could spur those emotions, from the Mona Lisa to tacky picture frames. Bale plays a 'Tetragrammaton Cleric' whose job is to kill anyone in touch with their feelings using the most awesome fake martial art in history: Gun Kata, which combines kung fu with firearms. When he goes off his meds he discovers what life is all about, and apparently it's all about killing the bastards responsible for repressing all of society. A kick-ass movie, and an enormously under-rated one.
GLeeMONEX from The Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996)
Roritor Pharmaceuticals has a problem: after the initial success of their Tums-like product 'Stummies,' they've fallen behind in the market, leading a group of research scientists to fast track the most powerful anti-depressant in the world – GLeeMONEX – without proper testing. The Kids in the Hall followed the success of their hit TV series with Brain Candy, a somewhat underwhelming film with very amusing moments (the hero invents GLeeMONEX after the hilariously clumsy suicide of his father), but the movie's recurring gag of people living out their happiest memories isn't exactly the funniest in the world. Eventually the drug takes the world by storm, but everyone who takes it eventually slips into a coma, reliving their happiest memories over and over again. Be careful what you wish for… No, we don't mean GLeeMONEX; we mean a Kids in the Hall movie.
The Heroin-Laced Human Endorphins from I Come In Peace (1991)
Dolph Lundgren is a cop who doesn't play by the rules blah-blah-blah-blah-blah in what at first seems like a clichéd action movie from director Craig R. Baxley (Action Jackson). But there's something weird going on here: Dolph keeps finding corpses full of heroin but dead from other, mysterious causes. Also, there's weird alien weaponry lying around. Also the killer is an alien who pumps his human victims full of narcotics so he can extract their endorphins to make a highly addictive drug for his own species. Dolph teams up with his by-the-book partner Brian Benben (TV's Dream On) and a good alien played by Jay Bilas to take down the extraterrestrial drug lord (Matthias Hues of No Retreat, No Surrender 2: Raging Thunder) in this better-than-you'd-expect sci-fi action treat from 1991.
Provasic from The Fugitive (1993)
We all know Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) didn't kill his wife, but the filmmakers don't really care why she's dead: it's just a MacGuffin to keep him on the run from U.S. Marshall Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones in an Oscar-winning performance). But even MacGuffins still need to be explained at some point (usually), and it turns out that Kimble was the original target for the murder because he found out that the fictional drug Provasic was actually giving its recipients chemically-induced Hepatitis. It's a great movie (nominated for Best Picture, if you'll remember), but as much as we appreciate a good evil plot this one kind of falls apart if you think about it too hard. The bad guy's plan was to release a drug that kills anyone who takes it? Not because he's a murderous bastard, but to make money off of that drug? What was his endgame after everyone started dying from his product? He can't just move to Bermuda, you know. Everyone in the world will be calling for his head. This guy makes Harry Lime look like Florence Nightingale.
Substance D from A Scanner Darkly (2006)
Richard Linklater's freaky adaptation of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly follows undercover detective Bob Arctor (Keanu Reeves) as he tries to infiltrate a futuristic drug culture and track down the suppliers of Substance D, a highly addictive drug that causes hallucinations, severe paranoia and even split personalities, literally causing the two sides of the brain to go to war with each other. Naturally, he becomes addicted to the stuff. Beautifully rotoscoped a la Waking Life, Linklater's film itself feels like a bad trip, filled with drug-induced philosophical conversations between Reeves and his addict buddies played by Woody Harrelson and Robert Downey Jr. See it sober, or at least on something other than Substance D.
Nuke from Robocop 2 (1990)
There's a new drug sweeping the streets of Detroit, and its name is Nuke. (Man, these drug dealers sure know how to market don't they? What, was 'Black Death' taken?) It's up to Robocop (Peter Weller) to save the day – again – but he's overworked due to a recent police strike, leaving Robocop 2 to clean up the streets. The problem is that this new Robocop (played by Manhunter's Tom Noonan) is more violent than the first: a former criminal himself who only does what the man tells him to because they supply him with his own steady supply of Nuke. Not nearly as good as the first Robocop (but then few movies are), Robocop 2 is still a fun sequel with a bad-ass villain and one of the better robot brawls captured on cinema (other than Robot Jox, obviously).
The Re-Agent from Re-Animator (1985)
It's important to remember that most drugs were created with the best intentions. Morphine is still used in hospitals, marijuana was just a happy-happy-puff-puff cigarette and crack was… well okay, crack is crack. But few drugs were made with purer goals in mind than Herbert West's Re-Agent in Re-Animator, Stuart Gordon's adaptation of one of H.P. Lovecraft's lesser but more entertaining works. West's drug has the ability to return the dead to life, but throughout Re-Animator and its two sequels – the pretty good Bride of Re-Animator and the less than good Beyond Re-Animator – he never quite gets the formula right. The corpses he re-animates usually go on a killing spree, except for one time where for some reason the subject regains total conscious and develops the ability to control all the other mindless zombies West re-animated. (It had something to do with a hypnosis subplot wisely excised from the finished film.) Good idea, poor execution… the Re-Agent, that is. Re-Animator is a horror classic from start to finish.
The Black Meat from Naked Lunch (1991)
William Burroughs did a lot of drugs. We're pretty sure about that. But director David Cronenberg must have been on the Black Meat when he directed Naked Lunch, the surreal adaptation of Burroughs' most famous work that combines the text of the novel with the facts of the original author's unusual life, like the time he accidentally killed his common-law wife during a drug-induced game of 'William Tell.' It's a disturbing film and a little hard to recommend without a lot of caveats, but perhaps most disturbing of all is the plant where the film's fictional drug – Black Meat – is harvested from giant centipedes. It looks like a scene from Hostel crossed with A Bug's Life, and afterwards you'll never want to suckle from an insect teat ever again.
Lot 6 from Firestarter (1984)
A lot of people experimented with drugs in college, but in Firestarter the experiment was highly scientific: Andy (David Keith from The Indian in the Cupboard) and Victoria (Heather Locklear from… Oh, you know who Heather Locklear is) took part in a clinical trial of the drug ominously named 'Lot 6,' which was supposedly a form of LSD but in fact gave them both mild psychic powers. Their daughter, on the other hand, gets wild psychic powers: she can burn things with her mind. Now Andy and his daughter (played by a young, young Drew Barrymore) are on the run from The Shop, the evil company that produced Lot 6 and also the equally evil drugs from The Lawnmower Man and Golden Years. Generally speaking, giving anybody drugs that bestow upon them the power to kill you with their minds is considered a bad idea. 'Just say no' starts at the top, people. Or rather, it starts with The Shop.

What is the conflict in the beginning of The Egypt Game?
- print Print

3 Answers
I think you are refering to the second chapter of this excellent book, because the book actually starts in media res, or in the middle of things, and then cuts to the beginning in the second chapter. This chapter introduces a very important character and her central conflict. April Hall has been sent to live with her grandmother by her mother, however April deeply resents this and feels that this is just a temporary arrangement, and that her mother will send for her very soon. Note how this second chapter introduces the scenario:
Exactly one month before the Egypt Game began in the Professor's backyard she had come, very reluctantly, to live in teh shabby splendour of an old California-Spanish apartment house called the Casa Rosada. She came because she had been sent away by Dorothea, her beautiful and glamorous mother, to live with a grandmother she hardly knew, and who wore her grey hair in a bun on the back of her head.
April's conflict thus lies in the way that she has been effectively sent away by her mother to live with a stranger. She refuses to settle down in this place, as this would signal that she recognises her mother is highly unlikely to send for her and ask her to come and live with her again.
User Comments
The conflict in the story is that everyone is scared of the Professor because he is kind of frightening and even the bravest bullies dare to tease the old man but they fail. So before April Hall arrives there was something going on at the Professors backyard. She says that her mother will never let her live with her again.

What about the community opening up a charter school and claiming Whisman Elementary. That would be great for the local community! Perhaps it could be tied into BCS from an operational point of view!

How about our local PACT reclaiming a school? Rather than stuff another facility on the same block with District Office, a Google childcare, and another complete K-5 school? Whisman buildings are the only site in the district which all are rated Class 1 structurally.

Cyclosporine is the key drug in organ transplantation. In Iran the investigators have more than 2500 new renal transplantation each year and because of this the government pay a huge amount of money for subsiding the imported cyclosporine in the form of Neoral. Recently an Iranian drug company introduced this drug in the name of Iminoral which has been approved by different authorities in Iran and abroad, (including the Ministry of Health in Iran and also European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines Certification Unit and FDA(Department of Health and Human Services,Center for Drug Evaluation and Research)). The investigators study is the first clinical trial to compare the effect of Iminoral versus Neoral in preventing acute rejection in renal transplantation and also to compare the side effects of these two drugs.

Den Bosch, Netherlands-based thrash/death quintet PERSISTENSE (a contraction of the words "to persist" and "intense") has issued the following update:"Wow!!! It looks like 2011 will be a great year for us! We already have a lot of shows confirmed and there will be more to follow. "First we'll play a show in January together with our good friends ARCHAIC AVERNO. It's been a while since we've had our last gig with them so we're looking forward to share the stage again. "In February we team up with LUNARSPHERE and NEW WORLD DEPRESSION to play three shows in Germany. Both LUNARSPHERE and NEW WORLD DEPRESSION have become good friends of ours and we're very thankful for the opportunity they give us to play in Germany. The first show of that mini-tour will be in Neuenkirchen, a village close to Emsdetten where we played last December. We had a great time over there and we hope to see all those true metal people again! The next day we move on to Hamburg to play at the Bambi Galore. The last day of the mini-tour we'll play a show on a boat on the Weser river in Bremen. "In April we'll support BITCH (US) and ANGER AS ART (US) on their tour in Holland. Three dates are already confirmed and some more will follow. We also have set one date in October. We play at the Metal Against Child Cancer festival in Belgium. "Besides all the gigs, we're still working very hard on our next album. The songs are getting shape more and more and we hope to release an album which surpasses our debut album, 'In Blood And Heart'. The album will be released by Deity Down Records again and for now it looks like the release date will be set somewhere at the end of the year." PERSISTENSE recently parted ways with guitarist Jacques Maas and replaced him with Hein Willekens.
The band's full-length debut, "In Blood And Heart", came out in September 2009 via Deity Down. A video for the song "The Reality" — taken from "In Blood And Heart" — can be viewed below. For more information, visit www.persistense.nl.

American Express expands Oman operations
American Express Middle East (AEME) recently announced an agreement with BankMuscat that facilitates the use of their point-of-sale machines, as well as the opening of their new representative office—Zubair Travel and Service Bureau—in Al-Khuwair.
The Agreement with BankMuscat will allow American Express to make use of over 300 point-of-sale machines presently in the market and the addition of another 500 terminals to be deployed by June 2002.
"Under the auspices of Zubair Travel and Service Bureau, we are looking to further invest and grow in Oman and are working on recruiting more staff as part of our efforts of strengthening and expanding our operations here," said Peter Dean, American Express Middle East and North Africa (MENA) general manager.
The representative office will offer customers financial products from the American Express range, outbound travel facilities from Zubair Travel, inbound tours with Zubair Tours, motor and general insurance from Norwich Union, car rental from Avis as well as DHL courier services. "One of the main reasons for our move was to be more visible in an area well-known for its travel services," said Dean.
American Express has had a presence in the Middle East since 1959. It was in 1982 that they signed a travel representative agreement with Zubair Travel and Service Bureau to ensure that visiting American Express customers receive the same levels of service away from home.
Last year, American Express has witnessed a growth of more than 50 percent of outlet establishments—retail, restaurants, automotive or airlines—who now accept its card in the MENA region.
American Express Middle East (AEME) is a joint venture company owned by Mawarid Investment Limited and American Express. Operating in 19 markets, AEME issues dollar currency credit and charge cards—personal (green), gold, platinum—as well as company and corporate cards. AEME now also issues Dirham currency credit cards specifically to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). — (menareport.com)

Volume II (Pages 473-877) With New Index
JOHN GEIST. Among the retired farmers of Lancaster county John Geist takes a leading position, being a man of large means and much public spirit. Mr. Geist was born in West Lampeter township Sept. 4, 1829, and he was a son of John and Eliza ( Powell) Geist, natives, respectively, of Strasburg and East Lampeter townships. By trade the elder John Geist was a wagon maker, which business he carried on in connection with his farming operations. Some time prior to his death he gave up active work. Father Geist was born July 29, 1804, and died May 21, 1866. His first wife was born March 19, 1809, and died March 9, 1844, both being buried in Mellinger's cemetery. These worthy people had been devoted members of the Reformed Mennonite Church.
The children of these parents were: Anna, who died young; Daniel, who died in Ohio and was twice married, the first time to Mary Kreider; John; Mary J., Amos, Barbara, Elizabeth, and Emma, who all died young; and Susanna R., who married Henry Rudy. The second marriage of Mr. Geist was to Susanna Burkholder, and to this union one daughter was born, Martha, who married Rev. Abraham Kurtz and died in 1898. The paternal grandparents of John Geist were Philip and Barbara Geist, natives of Baden, Germany, the former of whom came to America at the age of eighteen in order to avoid service in the German army. Philip Geist was a son of George Geist, a native of Wittenburg, Germany, who came to America in 1763, locating in Strasburg, Lancaster county. where his two brothers, Simon and Leonard, already resided.
John Geist received a good common school education and made his home with his parents until he was about twenty-five years old, although at the age of seventeen he began to learn the carpenter trade, which kept him from home a part of the time. Later he engaged in farming in East Lampeter township, moving to his present farm in Upper Leacock township, six miles east of Lancaster, in 1865, where he remained actively engaged in general farming until July 14, 1896; then he removed to his present residence on the same farm, while his son took the old home and relieved his father of the work. This is one of the fine farms in this part of Lancaster county, comprising 100 acres of well improved, finely cultivated and productive land.
John Geist was married Nov. 9, 1854, in Lancaster, to Miss Charlotte Harnish, and the children of this union were: Martin, who died at the age of fourteen years; Lizzie Ann, who married Kinder Bender, of Leacock township, and has a family of eight children; Mary J., who married O. S. Eckert, a farmer of West Earl township, and has four children; Ida A., a young lady, at home; Willis, the farmer on the old homestead, who married Laura Stoner, has two children, and is one of the school directors; Lotta, a young girl at home; Morten, Emma, and John, who died in infancy.
Mrs. Charlotte Harnish Geist was born in East Lampeter township Oct. 4,1 832, and was a daughter of Martin and Anna ( Weidler) Harnish, the former a farmer of West Lampeter township, where he died in 1840, at the age of thirty-eight years, and the latter a native of Leacock township. The mother survived until she was eighty-two years old, dying in 1876, and she was buried in the private burying grounds on the old farm. Both parents of Mrs. Geist were worthy Christian people, devout members of the Reformed Mennonite Church. There children were: Benjamin W., who operated a foundry and died in 1890; Elizabeth, who was the wife of Edwin Betzer and died in 1860; Charlotte, the wife of Mr. Geist; and Samuel, a moulder of Lancaster. The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Geist was Martin Harnish, a farmer and distiller who became a resident of Ohio, but died while visiting in Lancaster county.
Mr. Geist has been identified with a number of leading business interests of Lancaster county and for ten years has been a director in the Farmer's National Bank of Lancaster. In politics he is a Republican, and socially he is respected and esteemed by all who know him.

Don't wanna read this whole topic but is it confirmed that actual bans are being handed out (temporary) for gameplay, or is it just loss of emblem privileges?
White boards are remarkable.

I understand why people report racial things, and I also understand why you report dumb things like dolphins sodomizing random objects. But some stuff I dont understand if its edgy but funny why would you report that. I think what it boils down to is maybe that guy got the best of you in game and thats how you punish them.
Its this reason that I started reporting every dbz and pokemon emblem I see. Those douches are the ones who are offended by boobies and report them. You should NEVER report boobies.

Velvet_Llama posted...Mander1861 posted...Cecil255 posted...Velvet_Llama posted...OK, lots of people still seem to have a hard time grasping why there's really nothing wrong with 3arc ****slapping you with suspensions for offensive emblems. Yes you paid for the game, yes most of you live in countries with legal protections of free speech. Neither one of those is relevant due to the ToS, as many in this thread have pointed out.
I already came up with the t-shirt example in a post subsequent to the one you quoted. And yes, you'd get thrown out. At the very least, as you noted, you'd be given the option of changing your shirt or leaving. So maybe 3arc should give a warning first, but the subject being discussed here isn't how 3arc should punish but whether they should or should not punish.
I'd also add that the added work of having to keep track of whether or not players have changed offensive emblems to something non offensive after being warned is kind of unreasonable. A brief ban, such as the 13 day ban seems to be a nice balance because it provides a strong sanction to first time offenders without resorting to a permanent ban.
This space reserved for future witty comment.
Maybe it can be yours!!!! (Probably not).
I'm just saying, you can yell the n-word as loud as you can on constant repeat in the lobby and during the game and Activision will do nothing, yet, a swastika earns you a two-week ban.
Something's wrong there.

Last Day: 3D "Fire Sale" @ Lazarides, London
Well, shit, its the last day to see Massive Attack's 3D and his solo show Fire Sale at Lazarides Rathbone in London, but hey, better late than ever. The show represents a u"nique retrospective of painting and design that have helped define Massive Attack over the past 20 years, covering the pages of sketchbooks to 12 million record sleeves.Previously unseen pieces created for Massive Attack's latest album Heligoland (2010) will be exhibited alongside archival works painted and screen printed for the first time from 1991's Blue Lines and 1994's Protection.
Robert's ongoing collaboration with UVA with whom he designed Massive Attack's hugely influential live shows are represented in digital mirror pieces. Fire Sale will be the first and only time these pieces will be collected in one place: images have been hand-finished and are one-offs, enhanced and redacted especially for this show.

To the Editor:
To the members of the North Branch City Council:
It is the responsibility of the members of the city council to consider what is best for the city of North Branch and its residents. I am concerned with the proposal of building medium density rental units south of 400th Street.
The comprehensive plan which was approved by the city council, planning committee, and the residents of North Branch, put in writing tiered development in phases with single family housing south of 400th Street.
Placing medium density rental units next to one-acre lots does not make sense and is not good planning. If the council would like to change the comprehensive plan the issue should be brought up for discussion with the community and include an open forum for the residents of North Branch to have their voice heard.
The long term growth and economic vitality of North Branch depends on a city council that makes decisions for the well-being of the community today and its future. Good planning equals good communities, schools, and taxes.
Is there a need for housing in North Branch? From the looks of all the "For Sale" signs in the neighborhoods it appears that the community is shrinking, not growing.
Please consider what the community of North Branch, not just the developer, has to gain from the construction of more rental units in these difficult economic times. Jobs are scarce, property values are declining, and gas is expensive.
What would North Branch stand to gain?
Jackie Badger, North Branch

A resumé represents your skills, experience, and education. It's also a potential employer's first impression of you. Make your resumé accurate, easy to read, laid out clearly, and free of typos or grammar errors.
- Have all of your information ready before you begin to create your resumé, including your education and work history, references, and any special awards, honors, and memberships.

- Create a rough draft, then edit several times.

- Include some white space so your resumé is easier to read.
- Leave a "resumé gap" if you were out of work due to unemployment, illness, etc. Explain this in a cover letter.
- Include relevant volunteer experience.
- Use active, descriptive language. Rather than "worked," "ran," and "managed," use "successfully created," "efficiently completed," "responsible for," etc.
- Have a careful reader review it, and use your word processor's spelling and grammar checker.
- Keep the length under 2 pages.
- Date the electronic filename of your resumé so that you can tell it apart from older and newer versions.
- Include any of the Deadly Dozen: Height, weight, health, sex, marital status, number of children, religion, ethnic origin, age, photograph, reasons for leaving previous jobs, or salary history.
- Use the words I, me, or my.
- Use the heading "resumé" (it will be obvious that the document is a resume).
- Overdo the boldfacing, italicizing, etc.
- Use abbreviations (exceptions: GPA, Inc., states, educational degrees).
- Put the date in your resumé.
Whether you are Using WinWay Resumé or Microsoft Word, be sure to save your work when you are finished, either on a jump drive or disk (at the Library), or on your hard drive (at home). You will want to submit this résumé along with your job application.

Greatest Movie Series
| The
Greatest Film Franchises of All-Time: In general terms,
film franchises are multi-picture stories, often including some of
the same characters from film to film. Although film series have
been around for many decades (e.g., the Tarzan films, the Sherlock
Holmes films), film franchises really became a major cinematic
fact of life since the 1970s, beginning with the Planet of the
Apes series, the James Bond series-franchise and then
the Star Wars films. The corporate mentality, that began
to look on films as "products," thereby named a series
of films as "franchises."
Films that are considered franchises in this compilation meet most of these criteria:
for Rankings of the Franchises by Domestic Revenue Totals
Film Franchises: Some Additional Considerations, Qualifications, and Notes:
With the continued release of new films in many of the top franchises-series, it's difficult to say when any one franchise attains # 1 status in terms of box-office, although recent records now confirm that the Marvel franchise has overtaken the Harry Potter franchise as the most commercially-successful movie franchise of all-time, beating even Star Wars and James Bond, although the Pixar-Disney animations (if they can be counted as a franchise) top them all.
Recently, the trend in movie-making has been away from franchise sequels (with numbers in the film title) to "origin stories" or reboots of the original, such as Batman Begins (2005) or Star Trek (2009) - including some with original titles, such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) or Terminator Salvation (2009). Although it has been expected that a series of franchise films will secure box-office success, not all successful first films have generated profitable sequels (with the hopes of becoming major franchises) - i.e. Jaws: The Revenge (1987), Caddyshack II (1988), Son of the Mask (2005), and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) are but a few examples.
Almost every film franchise has been included here, even The Rambo series, The Exorcist films, the Muppets films, the Pink Panther series, the Final Destination films, the Jackass films - and many many more, which fell below $300 million in revenue (as a series). However, it was thought important to include lesser franchise films (in terms of revenue), such as the Godfather films, Romero's Dead series, Raimi's Evil Dead films, and the Tarzan series (with Weissmuller and O'Sullivan), since all of them have had either longevity and/or unique appeal. In the cases of Home Alone, Rambo and the Jaws and Exorcist franchises, each film had a major blockbuster to start (Note: Rambo's second film was the big one), but then dropped off considerably with their next few sequels.
Many of the biggest blockbuster film franchises have not received high marks for film-making quality either, with some exceptions (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the first Shrek film, the first two The Godfather films, etc.). Some of the factors that have spelled the end of franchises have included aging stars, the high-salary demands of actors, accelerating expenses, unoriginal and unsatisfactory plot-lines and an over-reliance of CGI and special effects (the Star Wars prequels, for example), and the end of source-materials (such as in the case of the filmed Harry Potter books).

Consider the split final.
Wesley Chapel will post its girls basketball coaching vacancy a third time, even if it means losing one of the most successful coaches in program history, Karim Nohra.
Wesley Chapel opened all supplemental positions last spring in search of on-campus coaches, but did not dissuade existing coaches from reapplying. Athletic director Steve Mumaw said he played "phone tag" with Nohra, leaving him a deadline to return a final call before moving on. Mumaw said the call never came.
Nohra, a two-time St. Petersburg Times' all-Suncoast coach of the year after back-to-back region final berths and a combined 28-7 record, did not return a message from the Times seeking comment.
Asked if Nohra was still a candidate, Mumaw said, "No, not at this time. …We had to get things going. He was given a time and date and we didn't receive a call back.
"…You can't question what the guy's done for the program; he's a quality coach. There's not too many people that could have taken the teams he had the last two years to the regional finals. Once again it's our philosophy to get someone on campus."
Mumaw said the school interviewed three to five candidates, but none would consider an on-campus job. Meanwhile, Mumaw said three starters, whom he would not name, have transferred to other schools.
Without a coach, the loss of key players and no summer basketball program, returning to a fourth straight region final appears as unlikely as snow falling in Florida.
"That's a concern, too," Mumaw said. "Here we have a solid program three straight years in the region finals. We don't want to destroy that program. We want to find the right fit for the position. Right now, the fit isn't Karim."
The rift appears to have started after Wesley Chapel announced its intent to open all supplements. Then in May, Wesley Chapel received transfers Shanel Sweet and Briahanna Jackson, both of whom former Wesley Chapel coach Warren Jones coached in his AAU program. With the basketball supplement opening, the table seemed set for Jones to return.
A closer look by county athletic director Phil Bell ended the Jones to Chapel talk, and Sweet and Jackson transferred to other county schools.
Since then, the program has remained dormant while others participated in summer basketball leagues.
Mumaw remains hopeful a viable candidate will emerge.
"This late into the hiring process, if we advertise one more time and there's no candidates applying for a teaching position then we'll have to open it up to people in just a supplemental position," Mumaw said.

Looking for some advice on some specific pocket autos
I'm looking for some advice on a good pocket auto. I don't have my CHL yet but am starting to get serious about it. I've got a decent handgun that could easily work as a self defense handgun but I'm thinking about a second gun that would work as a "carry at all times no excuses" weapon. Most of what I'm looking at are .380 autos since they appear to fit in a pants pocket with no problem but I'd really prefer a 9mm. The only issue I have with most of the 9mm's is that they may be better as an IWB holster and maybe just a little big for pocket carry. I also don't want to spend a mint, so I'm looking at around $400 or less.
Bersa Thunder .380 ACP -
I really like this gun aside from the caliber, but I'm afraid it might be the worst of both worlds. Is it small enough to pocket carry still? I'd much prefer the DA/SA setup with manual safety as that is what most of my experience is with. I've also been told that these are surprisingly accurate and I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't like theirs.
Ruger LC9 9mm -
My experience with Rugers is rock solid reliability and terrible triggers. I'm not sure about the size or the accuracy, but I feel confident that I could load this up with anything and it will fire. Seems a little big for what I'm looking for though. I like the manual safety.
Ruger LCP .380 ACP -
I know the LCP is the current king (queen?) of pocket autos and it's definitely on the short list. Not sure there is anything I don't like about it other than it's .380 and I've heard the slide does not lock back on the last shot.
S&W Bodyguard .380 ACP -
Really could give a crap about the laser and I've heard it's not the most reliable weapon but has no problems with the common self defense rounds so maybe it is good enough? Aesthetically it's a winner for any of the .380's but when it comes to guns looks aren't everything. On the list because I'd like to hear what other people have to say about it.
S&W M&P Shield 9mm -
By far my favorite and my local range will rent it out so I plan on shooting one soon. Almost impossible to find around here but wondering if I can find one before I get the CHL. Again, seems a little big for pocket carry and didn't try to stuff it in my pocket when I was handling one the other day because I didn't want to make the (armed) store clerk nervous. I'm not a huge fan of striker fired pistols but I think I could learn to love this one.
Taurus PT709 Slim 9mm -
Size and form factor seem about right but also seems a little larger than the Ruger LC9 which I am already concerned about. Also, Taurus quality is real hit or miss. Too big? Also, ugly, but the price is right.
Taurus PT738 TCP .380 ACP -
Dirt cheap and know a lot of owners who love them but a few who have had catastrophic failures. Actually looks smaller than the LCP or the Bodyguard so I feel positive I'd have it on me at all times but wonder if the Taurus quality control gods will send me a blessed weapon.
Would love to know any thoughts or first hand experience. Would really like any experience from anyone who has actually carried any of the above 9mm's or something similar in a front jeans pocket.
1 Attachment(s)
I like the Kahr P-380 very well! Nice Pistol.
S&W Bodyguard .380 ACP - I've got one. LOOONNNGGG trigger pull. Good gun for what it is designed for, close in self defense. You should be able to hit target at 21 feet rapid fire, with practice.
The 709 is the one you want! It's compact, super thin with 9mm power, with the best double/single trigger I've ever experienced.
I was once like you, worried about size, but the reality I came to was that as long as you go with a single stack you'll be hard pressed to find a 380 of any size easier to pull out of a pocket than a 9. The difference that matters is width, and 380 to 9mm is tiny in that department.
For reference, LCP is .82in wide, LC9 is .90in wide & 709 is .95... Don't waste your time or money on an underpowered 380. I'd rather carry a 22lr. I mean if size is truly that important you can't beat that caliber.
I've owned the LCP and LC9 carried the Pea until I found the 9 fit just as well so gave the Pea to a buddy. Then I found better triggers were key to better accuracy. So I moved to SAO, but was still worried about pocket carry with larger framed steel guns. I bought a Firestar in both 9mm and 45acp and can carry both just as easily in front pocket as I could my Elsie's but now have a gun I shoot well too. The only gun I had trouble pulling out was my Glock 30, double stack. The Firestar 45acp is a little thicker than my 9, so I prefer to carry the 9mm, but I'm confident with either that I would be able to use one for self defense of needed.
And for reference I wear Levi 505s, straight fit jeans. So no loose or baggy pockets. Take my word on this, get the 709. I'm thinking seriously about adding one to my collection!
I have a Kahr PM9. Awesome pocket gun. Great trigger. Nice groups at 10 yards. You can forget it is in your pocket. And with 7 rounds of 9mm it has plenty of power.
I like that Kahr 380 but don't think you can find one in that price range. Out of you rlist I'd lean toward the Shield simpply becuz it's the only one I don't hate yet lol...
Another vote for the Kahr PM9. I have had one for three plus years and love it. Also have the Kahr P380 but prefer the ultimate reliability of the PM
Also, the LCP has no manual safety. That's a huge downfall to me.
I'm not sure about any of the specific guns your looking at but absolutely everyone that try's the m&p shield seems to fall in love with it. Only downfall seems to be that it's hard to find.

BOMBAY, India (Jun. 15)
More than 600 Jews who fled from bombed and fire-ravaged Rangoon, Mandalay and other Burmese cities, prior to the Japanese occupation of all of Burma, are now being fed and sheltered by the Jewish communities of Bombay and Calcutta, assisted by the Indian Government, it was announced here today.
Together with Indian and European refugees, the Jews – including many aged men and women, and scores of babies – treked for months across turbulent rivers, malaria-infested swamps and over difficult mountain passes. During the entire journey they were subjected to almost constant bombing and machine-gunning from Japanese planes. They slept in fields and jungles with almost no protection, since the rigors of their march forced them to abandon their belongings and provisions. Some of the refugees today related heart-rending stories of the hardships and privations they underwent before reaching safety here. The mental and physical condition of many of them is still deplorable. Though all of them are dependent on charity, they are being made as comfortable as possible by the Jewish relief groups here.
The Jews of India, who are aiding the Burmese victims of the Japanese, are themselves unalarmed at the Japanese threat to India. They are closely cooperating with the Government and have contributed liberally to the War Effort Fund. The Jewish War Effort Committee, established two years ago, has already raised more than 25,000 rupees in Bombay alone, and large amounts have been donated by Jewish philanthropists. Jews are joining the army and navy and they have full confidence that final victory will be won, and are prepared for all eventualities.

The characteristics of gifted children are far more
complex than the measurement of an individual's output or performance score. These children are more than their
latest test score or master piece. Gifted-ness is more about a state of being; an ability to perceive, comprehend,
intuit, sense, feel, reason and take in significantly more information than the norm. When we only notice and appreciate these
children through their special accomplishments, we fail to acknowledge their essence and the complexity of the individual. The
child begins to feel they are loved only when they excel in their performance. That is why truly
understanding these children is so important. As parents and caregivers, it is critically important to acknowledge the
effort, the sensitivity, kindness, the intensity and inner beauty, as well as the accomplishments of the gifted child.

Europeanization beyond Europe
This article reviews the literature on Europeanization beyond the group of EU member, "quasi-member" and applicant states. It uses the analysis of Europeanization in applicant states as a theoretical starting point to ask if, how and under which conditions we can expect domestic effects of European integration beyond Europe. Focusing on Europeanization effects in the areas of regionalism, democracy and human rights, and the literature on the European Neighborhood Policy in particular, the article collects findings on the strategies and instruments as well as the impact and effectiveness of the EU. The general conclusion to be drawn from the theoretical and empirical literature reviewed is one of low consistency and impact.

"I like to be able to walk inside sound and touch this or that element," says Brazilian singer Cibelle from her home in London, England. "I have this song, then this world starts growing inside of my head and I start painting that song out. I embrace that poem with sounds that, let's say, helps this poem reach where it has to go," she says. Her multi-layered songs are as much a product of the many facets of her personality as they are of continuous mixing of the tracks until she arrives at a magical formula.
As you talk to Cibelle, it doesn't take long to recognize her playful and at time, almost childlike approach to both life and music. Those fanciful notions and frolicsome nature come to the forefront in "London, London," her music video shot a few years ago with Devendra Banhart. The video also provides insight into Cibelle's passion for juxtaposing images and ideas. Banhart is dressed in period clothing, including a cravat and top hat, while Cibelle appears in a Victorian age dress, petticoat and carrying a parasol. The two of them ride in a carriage through the streets of London and at one point, roll their eyes heavenward as they sing, "looking for flying saucers in the sky." At another juncture the two can be seen dancing on the roof of a skyscraper. The music for "London, London" was originally penned by Caetano Veloso a folk hero in Brazil and someone who ironically enough was exiled to London in the early seventies.
Contrasting elements once again are front and center with the rhythmic "Noite de Carnaval," which has a deep bass line, even deeper percussion beats and the ethereal vocals of Cibelle.
The cover of Tom Waits' "Green Grass" (The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves) provides the listener with romantic escapism. The unaffected vocals provide an innocence that does not contrasts subtly with the flirtatious lyrics. Green Grass has the fingerprints of Parisian sound engineer, Yann Arnaud.
To say that Cibelle's approach to songwriting is unorthodox would be stating the obvious. She would have been hard pressed to push the envelope any further than she did with the creation of The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves. It is not all that unusual anymore to see more than one producer's name appear in a CD's liner notes, however it is extraordinary to discover that more than one producer worked on the same track as was the case for the CD The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves. Cibelle pushed the envelope on the project. "I thought I needed to go back to Sao Paulo (Brazil) and do some stuff with Apollo Nove. I was recording some music in London with Mike Lindsay (already). I thought if I could merge Apollo and Mike into one person, I would. They compliment each other so well. They have the same strange quirkiness and madness," she says.
"I took the five tracks that I had started with Mike back to Apollo in Brazil. I said you have about two weeks on your own to think about doing something. I had told Mike that was going to happen," she says.
The eighteen month project was infused with some songs that originated within jam sessions during her brief stay in Brazil. When it came time to cross the ocean again and return to Lindsay in London, she had twenty tracks tucked under her arm. "I said (to Mike), 'You have two weeks to chop, rework and sample one track to the next. Just let it all hang out and do your thing.' Think about you in love and how it would feel," she says.
It was not until she arrived in Paris to work with Arnaud that the project was finally completed.
The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves represents a further progression in the music of Cibelle. Her music has significantly matured since the release of her Six Degrees Records' self-titled album in 2003. "I can clearly see the sounds changing throughout the years. I remember when I did my first album. I was very into aquatic sounds and feelings submerged with long, long delays. At the moment, I am very much in love with strings and the harp. I love contrasting things. On this album, I was very interested in the contrast between very earthy and glitzy sounds like shaker and little objects, and twinkling childish sounds on the high keys as well," she says. Cibelle confesses a fondness for the sound of a deep, upright bass.
It wasn't long after the release of her debut album that Cibelle moved to England and she draws upon the energy of London and its people. Her daily experiences and encounters infuse her new music. "London contains the eccentric British. They fascinate me and I love them. They make me feel normal. There are many, many windows like Alice in Wonderland and all these little doors that you can open. You fall into these amazing weird universes and tasty stuff as well. The combination of all of that is quite exciting."
"I just love eavesdropping. If you go to a coffee shop with me and somebody else starts having a very interesting conversation while we are talking, I may just drift off and go, "oh, ya..ooohhh," she says mimicking fascination with an imaginary conversation.
Cibelle tells me that a lot of her songwriting starts to gel in those same coffee or tea shops and other quaint environments. "People tell tales and all kinds of things or nasty plans. Lots of things happen in coffee shops, especially near where I live. The subjects that I have been hearing in there are amazing-- they just haven't made it to the papers yet," she confides in a tone almost suggesting that we have just scooped the tabloids. I guess you could safely say that Cibelle's high octane caffeine adventures produce high octane music.
Cibelle lives in one of the artsy warehouse districts of London and finds she draws upon the energy of the artists and fashion students and it infuses her music.
In a little more than three years, Cibelle has established a strong following throughout Europe. Stops this fall on her gig tour have included Sweden, France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. She also performed in Moscow in late October. Cibelle gives credit for a lot of her European popularity to a grassroots movement. Some people having heard her in concert will e-mail friends in other countries telling them about her upcoming concerts, or people have listened to some of her tracks on her Myspace website and directed others to her music.
Regardless of the venue or cultural setting, Cibelle does not compromise her music feeling it would only shortchange the fans that have come to hear the music to which they are accustomed. She says, "If you are always bending here and there you will lose your identity. We do the set that we do. I don't change unless I have less time."
Despite being embraced by the European music scene, there is another kind of embrace that has left Cibelle feeling a little at odds with her own heritage. Coming from a warm Latin culture she was used to hugging and kissing everyone, but when she arrived in London's more conservative social climate, she was met with restraint such as she had not experienced before. Not everyone was prepared to be greeted with a hug. "It's okay sometimes (to learn) to just be quiet. Saying hello by shaking hands is just fine. Nobody is going to prosecute you for that," she says.
The pretty Brazilian talks in airy, half finished sentences and drifts off into conversations that seemingly take unannounced journeys down pathways that are simultaneously filled with wonderment, simplicity and sophistication. She is both eclectic and a contrast of styles in composition and performance. It would seem that the world is looking for that type of transparency for they have been flocking to the twenty-something singer's music.

Col. Sambo Dasuki, the National Security Adviser (NSA) on Tuesday ordered that the alleged search of the official car of the House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Wazari Tambuwal should be investigated.
Aminu Tambuwal
It would be recalled that the speaker who was slated to give a speech on Monday at the International conference on security and development challenges of pastoralism in West and central Africa organized by the office of the National Security Adviser which held at Hotel 17, was stopped by soldiers who insisted they must search his car before he would be allowed into the venue.
According to The Nation, a high ranking security personnel who spoke on condition of anonymity yesterday in Kaduna, said that the NSA gave the directive in reaction to the widely reported incident that was published on various media.
The source, however, denied that the soldiers stationed at the venue of the event to ensure security never insisted on searching Tambuwal's car.

"There was never an attempt by soldiers and other security agents to search the Speaker's vehicle as all dignitaries and participants were accorded due respect" he said.
According to the source, what really transpired that very day was that: "detectives from the Department of State Security Services and other security operatives were trying to verify whether or not it was actually the Speaker's vehicle when he hurriedly disembarked and walked to the conference hall. The service chiefs parked their vehicles 300 meters away from the venue and trekked."
He, however, alleged that Tambuwal was aware of such security procedures, saying: "anytime he comes to Mambilla Barracks for Friday prayers, his vehicles are always verified. It is customary."

New Bedford man held in death of girlfriend's baby
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. —
A 23-year-old New Bedford man was ordered held without bail Tuesday on an upgraded charge of murder in the death of his girlfriend's infant daughter.
Ethen Harrison pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in New Bedford District Court. He's been held without bail since pleading not guilty to earlier assault and child endangerment charges.
Prosecutor Stephen Nadeau said 9-month-old Ariel Eluziario died from "blunt force trauma to the head," on Jan. 24, when Harrison was alone with her.
The Standard-Times reported that the baby's mother, 22-year-old Amanda Eluziario wept in court Tuesday as she sat with the baby's biological father.
Court documents say Harrison told police he was angry when Ariel became "fussy" and caused her to hit her head twice on the floor. She had a large blood clot on her brain and died at a Rhode Island hospital.
Harrison is due back in court March 25.

These two bikes came out of a roll-off that was in our community last week. The bikes are in really good shape all things considering. All the parts of the bike are there, and if someone really wanted to restore them, they would make a nice pair of nearly vintage bikes. The wheels are Weinmann, made in Belgium, they both have the little bell ringer, millage counter, Sugino peddles

Subject:Campground for the Astor Party and emigrants on the Oregon Trail.
Members of the Astor Party under the leadership of Wilson Price Hunt camped here in 1812 on their way to the mouth of the Columbia. They traded with the Indians for horses which they used for food. The river was called the Eu.o.tal.la (Umatilla) and abounded with beaver. From 1844 the wagon migrations to the Willamette Valley passed this way. This was also an important point during the Stagecoach Period. Pendleton was founded in 1868 and named for George Hunt Pendleton, U.S. Senator from Ohio.

Speed Strips/ Speed Loaders?
Hey fellers.
I'm sure some of y'all know this, who makes speed strips/ speed loaders?
Are either of these products worth while?
I will soon have (2) .357 Magnum revolvers would like to be able to reload fast as possible.
I have HKS speed loaders for all of my revolvers. Bought from Midway I think...
Same here they are about $10+/-, so there's no reason not to get 3-4/gun. They loosen up after a while if you handle them constantly, (in and out of pockets or car) but are pretty durable overall.
Practice a bit with them though. :)
I have both HKS and Safariland speedloaders (I prefer the Safariland) and I also have Bianchi Speed Strips for my .38 and Tuff Products Strips for my .38 and .45 LC.
I have Bianchi speedstrips for my .357.
Thanks for the reminder; i need to pick up a few for my new revolver. I had totally spaced on that.
I have HKS and Safariland speedloaders and Tuff speed strips. I find the speed strips the most useful (flat in the pocket, and I don't like wearing a custom speed loader holder on my belt).
I use the speedloaders for my bedside and desk drawer guns and use the speed strips in my pocket when I am out.
Thanks again Y'all.
I plan to get probably 2 speedloaders & 4 speed strips.
pmeisel thanks for the tip will put this to use.
Practice, practice, practice.
