Reese Witherspoon News Articles
When a film's protagonist is in conflict with himself, it's hard for the audience to choose a side.But such is the dramatic high-wire act being performed in several of the season's more prominent movies, in which the key characters are conflicted, confounded, confused and/or contradictory — searching for their identities and their souls. And they're not necessarily likable.How an anti-hero is positioned has much to do with his screen persona. In " Wild ," for instance, Jean-Marc Vallee's adaptation of the Cheryl Strayed memoir, Reese Witherspoon 's character is, first of all, played by Reese Witherspoon ."Who's not going to care about Reese Witherspoon ?" Vallee asks. "Particularly her face, she's so vulnerable. And out of her comfort zone: For the first 10 minutes, audiences are going to say 'you're going to try something? I'm going to follow you.' "Add to this Vallee

Kevin Pietersen out, Compton & Root in for England's India tour
Kevin Pietersen has been left out of England's squad for their tour of India this winter, despite talks between management and player.
The batsman, 32, was dropped last month after admitting sending "provocative" texts to South African players.
Yorkshire's Joe Root, 21, is included after a fine year, as is Nick Compton, who hit 1,191 runs for Somerset and is the grandson of England great Denis.
"I think England have told Pietersen to go away and think about things, that they need to see actions speaking louder than words. If he wants to fully commit himself to England, he needs to show that through his actions this winter."
Left-arm spinners Monty Panesar and Samit Patel are both included.
They join first-choice spinner Graeme Swann in the 16-man touring party, while batsman Eoin Morgan returns after being dropped following England's disappointing series against Pakistan in the spring.
Ravi Bopara is omitted after a troubled summer, while there is no place for fellow batsman James Taylor, who played the last two Tests against South Africa. With no reserve wicketkeeper named, batsman Jonny Bairstow will act as back-up to Matt Prior.
The first Test of four begins in Ahmedabad on 15 November, with Alastair Cook leading the side for the first time as permanent Test captain following Andrew Strauss's retirement.
Pietersen, who said he was "naturally disappointed" by his omission, was dropped for the third Test against South Africa after allegedly criticising team-mates, including then captain Strauss, in messages to opposition players.
The Surrey right-hander was not picked for the ICC World Twenty20, which begins in Sri Lanka on Tuesday, and was not given an England central contract for 2012-13.

Two weeks of talks, brokered by the Professional Cricketers' Association, are understood to have been fruitful but were not enough to win Pietersen back his England place at this stage.
"These discussions remain private and confidential," said England managing director Hugh Morris. "As there are issues still to be resolved, Kevin has not been considered for selection for the India tour."
England batsman Ian Bell, who may miss the second Test in Mumbai as his wife is expecting their first child at that time, said the team would miss Pietersen's skills.
"He is a match winner and there are times when he plays a knock that not a lot of people in the world can play," Bell told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Then again, the likes of Jonny Bairstow and whoever takes his place in the squad have got to take their opportunity."
"Andy Flower and Alastair Cook were central to this because they feel it is still too raw. There are some players in the England dressing room who don't have much time for Kevin Pietersen at all. It has been left to linger on for too long in my opinion. I believe he will play for England again in New Zealand in February but he will want the work flow sorting out as he has realised he has overstretched himself and some of the players can't stand him at the moment."
On Monday, Root, who has played four first-class games for the second-string England Lions side, was named the Cricket Writers' Club young cricketer of the year.
The Sheffield-born youngster, who scored almost 1,000 runs in his first season as a county cricketer in 2011, played a large part in Yorkshire's promotion from Division Two of the County Championship, in which he scored 738 runs at an average of 43.41.
Compton, 29, was the only England-qualified batsman to score 1,000 Championship runs this season, finishing with 1,191 at 99.25, with four hundreds and seven fifties.
Bell agrees Compton has had a great season. "He's been a very consistent player and has made big strides," said Bell. "He's a bit like Jonathan Trott. Once he gets in, he tends to go on and make big runs."
Compton was born in South Africa before moving to England in his teens. Grandfather Denis, who also played football for Arsenal, played 78 Tests for England between 1937 and 1957, scoring 17 hundreds at an average of 50.06.
"I'm absolutely delighted," Compton told BBC Radio 5 live. "I believed my chance would come, it was just important to keep scoring.
"The conditions in India will be tough, but I've experienced different conditionsand it's enjoyable to test yourself."
National selector Geoff Miller said: "Nick Compton has performed well consistently for Somerset this season, made big hundreds, and shown that he has the temperament and the technique to play at a higher level.
India v England Test series
- 15-19 November: 1st Test, Ahmedabad (Motera)
- 23-27 November: 2nd Test, Mumbai (Wankhede Stadium)
- 5-9 December: 3rd Test, Kolkata
- 13-17 December: 4th Test, Nagpur
"Joe Root is a player who has been successful at every level from county cricket through to the England Performance Programme and England Lions. He deserves this opportunity to step up to the next level and press his case for a place in the Test side."
Bopara pulled out of the Tests against South Africa mid-series for personal reasons, but struggled with the bat in the one-day series on his return to England action, and Miller confirmed that there were still some personal issues precluding his selection.
Although Taylor has not made the full squad, he is included in a 17-man England Performance Programme line-up, who will tour India for a month from mid-November and act as back-up for the main party.
Also among that squad are seven players who have represented England in limited-overs internationals - Craig Kieswetter, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Stuart Meaker, Danny Briggs, Scott Borthwick and Ben Stokes.
England Test squad for India: Alastair Cook (Essex, capt), James Anderson (Lancashire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Nick Compton (Somerset), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Graham Onions (Durham), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Monty Panesar (Sussex), Samit Patel (Nottinghamshire), Matt Prior (Sussex, wk), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire).

"We are committed to protecting the children in our community, and we appreciate the close working relationship that we have with our partners in the federal law enforcement system in bringing those who abuse children to justice."Michael Serapis FreemanAccording to the criminal complaint in U.S. District Court in Oregon, the couple is accused of producing child pornography videos featuring them engaging in sexual conduct with their two daughters, 9 and 6.Michael Freeman traded some of the photos with a person online for other child pornography images, according to the complaint.Michael Freeman told an investigator that he was in a "bad place," according to the complaint. He said he was the first to take the images and that "somehow" his wife became involved.Michelle Freeman refused to speak with investigators about the images, the complaint says.Homeland Security Investigations first discovered the images in June 2011 during a separate child pornography search.

Unfortunately, I am unable to get any images to load successfully.
I'm willing to bet a few bucks that it's entirely my fault and I'm misunderstanding something obvious.
If you can help me, please feel free to throw back your head and laugh at me simultaneously.
This is a screencap of my test post.

This is a screencap of the result thereof.
I get one grey/black bullet-style box for every image and that's about it.
Again, I'm probably doing something stupid, but I greatly appreciate any and all help towards getting this working properly. I know it will be perfect once it gets going.

Fernando Alonso made amends for a mid-session spin at Turn Two by setting the fastest time in Saturday morning's final practice session at Sakhir for the 2013 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix. His best lap of 1m 33.247s was 0.101s ahead of Sebastian Vettel, as one second covered the fastest 13 cars.
The pressure on all of the drivers was evident when Vettel also ran off the road trying to better 1m 33.348s. Red Bull team mate Mark Webber was right behind him on 1m 33.380s, ahead of Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus on 1m 33.446s and Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes on 1m 33.455s.
Hamilton crept into the pits right at the end of the session with a delaminated left-rear tyre.
Romain Grosjean's switch to a new Lotus chassis appears to have brought him a return to form as he took sixth with 1m 33.464s, while Force India's optimism for this race was again borne out by fast times from Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta; the German lapped in 1m 33.596s, the Scot 1m 33.700s. Right behind them was Nico Rosberg, who wheeled his Mercedes to 1m 33.764s, while Nico Hulkenberg managed 1m 33.922s in his Sauber despite complaining about brake issues.
Felipe Massa was the final runner below 1m 34s with 1m 33.949s, as Jenson Button and Sergio Perez recorded 1m 34.117s and 1m 34.282s respectively in their McLarens.
Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne sandwiched Valtteri Bottas' Williams in their Toro Rossos; the Australian lapped in 1m 34.577s, the Finn in 1m 34.611s and the Frenchman 1m 34.678s. Pastor Maldonado chased them in the other Williams with 1m 34.833s.
Caterham's dramatic improvement was again evident as Charles Pic headed Marussia's Jules Bianchi, with 1m 35.816s to 1m 36.731s, while Giedo van der Garde was 20th on 1m 36.939s as mechanical problems restricted Max Chilton to 1m 37.630s.
At the back, Esteban Gutierrez recorded eight more laps than anyone else, but none faster than 1m 39.592s.

This is one of my favorite games of all time it is fun, funny, and it has great music. It also let's me play dance dance revolution with my fingers
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Awesome in every way.
It's not often you find a game that is addicting beyond belief and keeps you laughing from beginning to end. This game really came through in both those categories. The animation was unique and thought the music was great too. I liked hearing The Twist and Canned Heat, plus the song on level three sounded really cool. Great job on this you two, it was so much fun.
Just a note, sometimes on a few levels the music would start playing, then stop, then start playing again. That was the only glitch I encountered. I loved the titles you get after completing a level too. The special shopping cart level was probably my favorite. Overall, this game was very creative and hilarious. Keep up the excellent work!

Senate votes to delay tax break
Published: Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 12:19 p.m.
BATON ROUGE The Senate giveth and the Senate taketh away. Then it giveth again.
At least thats one way to describe how most senators voted Wednesday on a legislative package that reverses a reduction lawmakers approved for taxpayers a few years ago. It redirects the money into higher educations faltering budget.
Senate Bill 335 by Sen. Lydia Jackson, D-Shreveport, would yield about $381 million over the next three years, with $118 million available almost immediately.
The legislation passed by a vote of 29-9 and had the support of the Terrebonne-Lafourche delegation.
Its a complicated and tactical switch thats opposed by the Republican administration of Gov. Bobby Jindal, who has said hes opposed to any measures that delay or increase taxes. Key members of the Senate, however, say the governor has yet to present a viable plan that would save higher education from more than $219 million in cuts ordered by his office.
That figure, though, may have been overplayed during the bills hearing, Commissioner of Administration Angele Davis said.
Following the debate, she clarified that, due to changes made to the states operating budget in the House, higher education is now facing about $109 million in spending cuts.
It is very important to make clear that where higher-education stands in the budget today, Angelle said. Their proposed reduction is down to 3.8 percent a reduction from the originally proposed 7.7 percent. Additionally, it is important to note that higher education also has $1.63 billion in restricted funding available.
The state faces a $1.3 billion shortfall in the fiscal year that begins July 1. Cuts to college and university budgets are just one byproduct.
Proponents argue that more can be done to make education a priority in Louisiana.
Senate President Joel Chaisson, D-Destrehan, who represents portions of Lafourche Parish, was instrumental in getting SB 335 out of the committee process and onto the floor.
There are ways we can manage this crisis without crippling higher education, said Chaisson, who voted in favor of the legislation.
Sens. Reggie Dupre, D-Bourg, and Butch Gautreaux, D-Morgan City, also supported the tax delay.
Gautreaux lobbied the Senate floor to secure backing for the bill and delivered an impromptu speech to his colleagues.
He told them he had been approached by people back in his district who view the legislation differently, and he worked hard to tell his side of the story.
When I explain the losses to Nicholls State University and L.E. Fletcher (Technical Community College), its enough to gain their support, Gautreaux said.
Several business groups banded together in the Houma-Thibodaux area to erect billboards supporting the measure, he added, and similar movements have been afoot in other major regions around the state.
While the legislation made it past the Senate, passage in the House will be much more difficult, lawmakers say, and adoption by Jindal is downright impossible.
Nonethelss, local lawmakers in the lower chamber are eager to vote on the bill.
For Rep. Damon Baldone, D-Houma, who recently announced his candidacy for Senate District 20, which is being vacated by Dupre, the tax bill is a campaign issue.
Matt Parker, executive director of the Louisiana Republican Party, issued a new release last week alleging Baldones stance doesnt sync with the feelings of voters in the district.
In these challenging economic times, Damon Baldone has demonstrated a clear commitment to increasing the tax burden of Louisiana businesses and families, Parker said. Thats not lifting them up. Thats pulling them down.
Baldone said it would be politically expedient to ignore a needed tax, but it isnt the right thing to do as local universities face drastic cuts.
Im for higher education. Plain and simple, Baldone said. Ive barely heard anyone from my district opposing this.
Rep. Dee Richard of Thibodaux, who has no party affiliation, also said his mind is made up. Hell vote against the measure if it survives the Houses committee process.
Its a tax increase, Richard said. I still want to fund higher education. Thats important to me. But we can find it somewhere else. This is money thats due to taxpayers.
Specifically, Jacksons bill would freeze at its present level for three years the amount of federal excess itemized deductions individual filers can deduct.
Thanks to a bill passed by the Legislature a few years ago, taxpayers will soon be able to claim 100 percent of their deductions items like charity donations, mortgage interest and medical bills. If Jacksons bill passes, taxpayers would be limited to 65 percent.
SB 335 now heads to the House for further consideration.

A maze-riddled mix of minigolf and pinball set in deep space.
Guide your bomb through 24 levels, improve your ship with upgrades, battle against epic bosses and save the galaxy!
*a new version has been uploaded*
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Not a bad game...I like the mix of maze elements and mini golf it keeps it fresh. However...there is one that that REALLY frosts me and that is the upgrades system. When I see "Upgrades" I think ok I need Gold, Cash, Resources, or in this case, Galaxy Coins, to get them...no biggie...that is until I realize I need to do EVERY LEVEL PERFECTALLY to get a gold medal and a coin...that is virtually impossible!!!
If you have an upgrade system make it accessable. DO NOT make it that you have to be perfect in every level to get a coin to upgrade. Allow coins to be collected in other ways, put them in the mazes or something so that you can actually buy and use the upgrades in the game.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
an excellent game. the only real issue i had was the shots that required speed. they were a little harder than they needed to be due to the screen moving so much throwing off timing and aim.
that's the only reason i cant give it a 5. the visuals, level design, and challenge level (except where noted above) were practically perfect, as was the music.
on a side note: the final boss feels, and kinda looks, like mother brain from metroid. nice little easter egg
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Overall a good game. Sharp graphics, plays mostly well on my computer, which is quite old. Occassionally my ball goes into the walls. I can't get past level 1-6 (even with top speed upgrade) or level 3-1. Got gold medal on all others except level 2-5. I enjoyed the boss on 2-8...wish I could see the others. It seemed like the other two kinds of upgrades didn't have much of a point.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
The interface is very cluttered, large amounts of uneeded fillers block your view and distract from gameplay, if you make a sequel, consider removing the obstructive UI entirely and going for a more minimalist feel.
Hurts my eyes to look at this one, far too cluttered.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
really loving the game so far but the problems I have are
1.) it lost my progress so that irritated me
2.) whoever came up with the boss for level 2-8 is a sadistic S.O.B

TCU Horned Frogs (10-6)
@Colorado St. Rams (12-4)
Saturday, January 14
Moby Arena
Attendance: 2,577
Colorado St.
Fort Collins, CO (Sports Network) - Will Bell led all scorers with 23 points as the Colorado State Rams survived the TCU Horned Frogs in double overtime, 95-89, in Mountain West Conference action at Moby Arena.
For the Rams (12-4, 1-0 MWC), Wes Eikmeier added 21 points, Dorian Green finished with 19, Jesse Carr scored 12 points and Pierce Hornung chipped in 11.
Hank Thorns led the Horned Frogs (10-6, 0-1) with 21 points, while Amric Fields scored 20 points and Garlon Green posted a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
CSU was able to take a 37-33 lead into halftime by connecting on a scorching 72.7 percent of their shots and holding TCU to a still-impressive 52 percent, including 6-of-12 three-pointers.
After the break both teams cooled off, with the Rams hitting 43.8 percent, including 2-of-8 three-pointers, and the Horned Frogs at just 37.5 percent, but 5-of-13 from three-point range. TCU opened the half on a 21-11 run and still led by 10 with just under three minutes to play. However, the Rams scored the final 10 points of regulation, including a pair of free throws by Fields with only three seconds left in regulation that tied the game at 76-76. An Eikmeier three-point attempt at the buzzer missed and the teams headed to overtime.
In the first extra session, CSU scored the first four points, but the Frogs responded with five straight of their own to take a slim lead at 81-80. After a layup by Green and a free-throw by Eikmeier put the Rams back ahead by two, Fields dropped in a layup with one second left to send the game to double overtime.
The teams traded leads early in the second overtime, but after TCU went ahead 89-87 midway through the period, CSU finished the game with a 8-0 run and secured its first conference win of the season.
CSU outscored TCU in the paint, 52-28, and outrebounded them 42-32.

similar incident recently in Minnesota. State declined to press charges as there was an additional threat at some point that justified the shooting. Have to wait and see. Could go either way. Wisconsin's new law specifically states you DO HAVE the right to pursue and protect your property. It does not give the right to use lethal force except if your at some point in fear of your personal safety (death or serious injury). sort of cloudy so probably will require a couple of court challenges before it becomes better defined.

I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.
When you choose to be a crook and rob people, you also should understand that one day you may lose your life in the process.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. Because it's in English, thank a vet
Even if criminal charges aren't brought against the clerk, you can bet there will be a fat lawsuit filed against the clerk, the station, and Shell Oil (even though they didn't own the station). The bad guy's family is already upset that he was shot outside the station. Apparently, they aren't upset that he was out pulling armed robberies in the wee hours of the morning. But, they are upset that he got shot in the process.
Our entitlement society has now grown to the point that people feel that if they want something they are entitled to take it from you by force. However, if you respond with force, to keep them from taking it; their family gets upset.

When in doubt remember the 3s rule, it applies to the situation.
" The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." Thomas Jefferson
Now you see what I do. You see, this happened in a town of less than 7000 people. And the last name of the boy that was shot is very, very common in the county. It's one of those situations where you describe the car and 11 people say oh, that's, xxx's, car. Futhermore I am pretty sure there is video of the event. Most every C-Store I do work in seems to have cameras these days. Even of there are no charges filed by the Police, I fee confident the matter will go before the Grand Jury.

Oh, you can bet on it. I'm sure the family already has an attorney preparing his lawsuit naming the deep pockets oil company as one of the defendents. Even though they didn't own the station, their name was on the sign outside. My handgun permit instructor told us a story about a fellow who shot a man who had threatened to kill him previously and who he caught climbing through his bathroom window armed with a pistol. The bad guy's family had already filed a lawsuit before they held their dear departed's funeral.
"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come." ~ Confucius
I'm gonna sound like an old guy, but here it is anyway: I remember a day when the family would have hung their heads in shame and apologized for the dead BG's actions - and I'm not all THAT old.
What happened - nowadays they just lawyer up as if someone done them wrong.
I guess the family is just as hot after the easy money as the BG was... they're no better.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

good catch I fixed that. My mother who was an English teacher would be very unhappy LOL
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.
Actually my father used "leather force" once on me and it kept me on the straight and narrow.
To dad "leather force" was a wide thick leather belt applied with the force of his arm swinging it onto my butt.

I'm assuming that this crime being a felony or not is contingent upon the amount taken. If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can use lethal force in KY so as to stop a felony. To play it on the safe side, if I were the store manager, I wouldn't have chased the thug outside. My life is worth more than a few bucks and some cigarettes. Also, I wouldn't want someone to come back and say that my life was no longer in danger since the threat had left, I merely wanted to play vigilante. Too many unknown risks are involved with chasing the thug down and putting an end to his life. The problems that this clerk could have may follow him for years to come. I say all of this with the risk of being accused of being an armed chair quarterback because I feel that others may benefit from this line of reasoning if he/she ever finds him/herself in a similar situation.
Also, I'm wondering if money stolen from small stores are insured in a similar fashion the same as it is when banks are robbed. Do stores have insurance that protect them from robbery? I don't know, I'm asking.
If I were to be on the jury, the clerk would walk. That said, in KY. if a shoot is ruled justified then no civil case can follow.
Don't tread on me or mine.
I am comfortable laying on a rock in the sun; bothering no one. If you choose to ignore the above statement, you will wish all you had to do, is deal with a snake.
