[WARNING: Potential Spoilers Ahead!]
Although Zack Snyder's Man of Steel will likely turn out to be one of the most heavily-marketed blockbusters this summer, for now the studio is playing plenty close to its chest. With claims that the theatrical trailers show just the "tip of the iceberg" where action and plot are concerned, a few nagging questions stand out above the others.
For starters, just how much of a hurry Snyder is in to bring Superman's most infamous nemesis, Lex Luthor, to the big screen. All signs have pointed to General Zod (Michael Shannon) handling villain duties for this chapter (even if he's, you know, not a villain), but the newest rumors surrounding Luthor claim audiences could be in for a surprise.
To this point it's been assumed that even if Lex Luthor wouldn't be appearing in Man of Steel in the flesh - and David S. Goyer has pointed out that nobody has guaranteed he won't be - characters may make mention of LexCorp either off-hand, or hinting at a larger role in the future. The same strategy was employed with the Joker tease at the closing of Batman Begins, and even most recently with Norman Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man.
The logic to that structure being a potential set-up for Luthor's antagonist in the Man of Steel sequel (which may or may not already be in development). However, the newest rumor doesn't just claim that Luthor has been cast, but that his role in the Man of Steel proceedings will be more than just a name drop (or limited to looming in the background or a shadowy office).
The newest update comes courtesy of AICN, and due to the fact that the information is the result of piecing separate reports together, we'd recommend taking this with an even bigger grain of salt than usual. The first insider source - using an alias, but trusted - claims that Luthor will be featured in Man of Steel, and unsurprisingly, will be based on the more scheming and brilliant version of the billionaire seen in modern comics.
That take on the character from Goyer, Nolan and Snyder is expected should he ever be included; aside from fitting with the more grounded and realistic tone, it's hard to see a Luthor like Kevin Spacey's in Superman Returns (2006) fitting with the less 'fantastic' slant. But more than just a confirmation that Luthor will be on screen in Man of Steel, the source also provided the name of the actor who will be playing him.
The name given was Mackenzie Gray, that of the Canadian actor who portrayed an aged Lex Luthor clone in the final season of Smallville. For what it's worth, a video interview has Gray confirming that he is going to be appearing in Man of Steel, but can't comment on his character. The cynical movie fans out there might assume that given Warner Bros. and Nolan's habit of secrecy, even allowing Gray to confirm he's appearing means reprising his role as Luthor is even less likely - the connection is too easy to draw based on that alone.
However stranger things have happened, and the performance Gray gave of Luthor in Smallville was well-received. His age (55) won't please comic fans who feel that Luthor should offer some form of physical threat to match his intelligence, but those expectations aren't generally the kind Nolan and Snyder saddle themselves with.
More surprising would be Gray's less staggeringly-impressive resume compared to the rest of Man of Steel's cast, but there's no reason to think an unknown may not be the proper course for such an iconic villain.
Gray as 'Lex Luthor (LX-13)' in Smallville S10E01, "Lazarus"
Contrary to the assumption that Luthor would be held as a third-act reveal or tease, the same source promised that the role would be "substantial." Casting Luthor would be substantial for several reasons on its own, regardless of how he is used in Man of Steel, but unfortunately the source did not elaborate on whether the billionaire genius will be playing a "substantial" role in the entire first movie, the climax, the sequel, or simply by being included.
Conspiracy theorists will certainly like to know that Gray just got himself a Twitter account, and although it is still unverified, the accompanying photo will definitely add fuel to the fire of speculation:
If the smoke does indeed mean fire, and Gray is reprising his role as Luthor, it would leave the doors wide open for more past actors in the sizable realm of Superman TV and movie projects. But who knows, perhaps Gray will appear as Lex's father, playing a role in Man of Steel that doesn't set himself up as the sequel's antagonist, but provides his son with a crusade against the Big Blue Boy Scout. It would certainly be in keeping with the overarching themes of fatherhood and family duty.
At this point we're not convinced that we know enough about the movie's plot to make educated guesses beyond those already made by any fan of Superman, or superhero movies in general. Superman (Henry Cavill) already has several enemies to fight come this summer, possibly competing suitors for Lois Lane (Amy Adams), and more focus on Krypton than will likely leave room for Luthor without seeming rushed or shoehorned in.
We'd love to be proven wrong, but for now this news can be filed under 'rumor' without hesitation. It will be incredibly interesting if true though, so we'll keep you updated as more reports or further evidence arrives.
Man of Steel will be in theaters on June 14th, 2013.

You can see here a basic map of Kingdom of Denmark from OpenStreetMap, but you can switch easily to other types of the map: Just choose the second option above the map and you can see Bing Maps, which offer other types of detailed maps of Kingdom of Denmark, related countries, geographical places etc. You can also switch to aerial and birds eye maps of Kingdom of Denmark there.
You may remember we offered other types of maps here also in the past, for example Google Maps, Nokia Maps and MapQuest Maps, and many kinds of their infomaps, like the traffic map, bike trails, weather map, map with photos and map of public transport from these sources. But some of these services cancelled their operations or changed the conditions under which their maps may be displayed. We sincerely hope you appreciate these new kinds of maps here, as you can see, for example, the difference between the OpenStreetMap vector map tiles from Mapzen shown by Leaflet here and the bitmap tiles from Bing Maps. We are considering adding more maps of Kingdom of Denmark in the near future again.
You may not only switch among different types of maps using the switches above the map, but you can also change settings of the map using controls on the map. See more details of Kingdom of Denmark using the zoom control on the left side or see street or terrain map of Kingdom of Denmark using the controls on the top of the map (Bing Maps). In the past you could also place the yellow figure (Google Maps) to see a street view of any interesting place, but this feature is not available here anymore. But you can see the Birds eye view on the Bing Maps here. Notice: Not all features are available everywhere. Some maps offer more details then the others.

Until the Quiet Comes: Chicago Live Music in October
Posted by: Peter Lillis on: October 18, 2012
- In: Band Profiles | Concerts | Music
- 2 Comments
Something clicked in October, and I found myself at eight shows in just 15 days, likely due to a mix of early onset Seasonal Affective Disorder and rise in tours before the end of the year. It's a lot of music to consume, and while I'm still digesting it all, I'm already planning for more. Below are the eight shows I saw in the last two weeks. Below that are the nine shows I plan to see before the end of the month. Care to join?
10/2 – She Keeps Bees @ Empty Bottle
In no way is this meant to be sexist: chicks rock 2012. Jessica Larrabee—lead singer and songwriter of She Keeps Bees—has got a voice as huge as it is real, not unlike Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond and Hazards of Love. Larrabee makes up for her shortcomings in songwriting by adding texture and warmth through her voice and guitar, which is further expanded by her excellent drummer Andy LaPlant. In a world where Florence Welch and Adele Adkins can become international superstars, it's nice to be able to rock with an similarly as strong voice in a much more intimate setting.
10/4 – Woods @ Subt
Woods' growing popularity is further proof of the return of big guitar-based rock. Backed by warm tube amps and pea soup thick reverb, this Brooklyn foursome is the closest indie rock has come to Crazy Horse. With dueling 12-string guitars, there were as many as 28 strings vibrating at any given moment. Their newest Bend Beyond (out on Woodsist, their own label) doesnt reach these huge rock highs, but still worth a few spins.
10/6 – Dark Dark Dark @ Schubas
I first heard of Dark Dark Dark from Publisher Leo Lopez in his 2010 profile of the band in our short-lived "Local Frontier" series, despite not actually being a local Brooklyn band. Based in Minneapolis, this sometimes eight-piece group fronted by Nona Marie Invie make "adult contemporary" baroque pop for all the lost Rain Dogs out there. The packed, silent venue stood enraptured by their dramatic set, comprised mostly of tracks of their very recent and excellent Who Needs Who. Their performance reached its most haunting point during the mini-set of "How It Went Down" and "Without You", two deconstructions of a destructive event.
10/9 – Saint Anyway @ Horseshoe
Here's more old-timey Minnesota music, this time from Duluth and with a more masculine twang. Saint Anyway–a bluegrass trio–craft downhome jams in a similar vein to Punch Brothers or Mumford and Sons, but don't read that as a slight. Despite an awfully weak audience, a grungy establishment and an late night/early morning set time, Saint Anywhere performed like professionals, playing originals alongside classic covers such as Johnny Cash's "Big River" and Dylan's "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry". As personable and more than competent musicians, it's likely you'll hear more from these guys as folky sounds continue to gain popularity worldwide. We live in a post-Nickel Creek world, after all.
10/11 – A$AP Rocky/Schoolboy Q/Danny Brown @ Congress Theater
The absolute worst. Just as Jordan Mainzer challenged the excellence of The Master, I must challenge the quality of these artists, Danny Brown excluded. Having attended several supremely lazy and uninspired performances by these guys this year, I am forced to question the popularity of Q and Rocky. Last Thursday's all ages pep rally further proved that live hip hop performed without care makes for a wholly uncomfortable and unsatisfying experience. Mix that with the awful acoustics and over-zealous security guards at the Congress, you've got one wasted Thursday night. Lesson learned: these 'artists' or this venue won't sucker me in again.
10/13 – Rebecca Rego @ Schubas
Full disclosure: Rebecca Rego is a friend of mine. While some bias may exist, her warm brand of new folk/alt-country is both fresh and familiar, and entirely enjoyable. At a solo seated show at Lakeview's Schubas, Rego gave the crowd a taste of the new music she's been writing on her first national tour, which is currently in progress. The opportunity to watch an artist grow with their craft is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a music fanatic, and it's even better when you talk about that growth over a few beers after the show.
10/15 – Calexico @ Lincoln Hall
A band of true performers and professionals. Spending most of their career on Chicago's Quarterstick Records (an affiliate of Touch and Go), Calexico have built an impressive following in the Midwest, especially evidenced by the sold out crowd at Lincoln Hall. Their intoxicating blend of Ennio Morricone, Uncle Tupelo, Buena Vista Social Club and Tortoise is best enjoyed live, where you can feel the full presence of the seven to nine piece band, complete with mariachi section, steel string guitars and bilingual backing singers. Playing most of Algiers—their most recent and excellent release—as well as plenty of old favorites, Calexico further cemented themselves as one of the most talented and interesting bands of their generation.
10/16 – Flying Lotus @ Metro
The absolute best. No electronic performer has bridged the gap between high-concept art and the straight up party atmosphere of EDM (ugh) as brilliantly as Flying Lotus. While progressive composers such as Burial and Balam Acab invoke a sense of head down, navel gazing, FlyLo encourages the audience to open their mind and let the weirdness take over. His masterful Until The Quiet Comes is one of the best electronic releases in years, with a narrative arc that's just as engaging as the beats themselves. Live, Steven Ellison (great nephew of John Coltrane) intersperses his own music with remixes from artists as diverse as Radiohead or Waka Flocka Flame. See. This. Show. Buy. The. Record.
10/18 – Sic Alps @ Empty Bottle
10/21 – John Spencer Blues Explosion @ Bottom Lounge
10/22 – Witch Mountain @ Empty Bottle
10/24 – Swans @ Metro
10/25 – Del tha Funkee Homosapien @ Reggie's
10/28 – White Denim/Maps and Atlases @ Lincoln Hall
10/29 – Daughn Gibson @ Empty Bottle
10/31 – Thundercat @ Abbey Pub
Peter Lillis is Managing Editor of Frontier Psychiatrist. Some might say he needs to get a life. He'd say he's found one.

I believe you, that on any given night ASAP and Q could blow it (especially Q). I saw them on the first night of the tour in a venue with pretty lax security, so they probably brought it extra hard.

Del has some serious competition on 10/25 with Divine Fits playing at Logan Auditorium.

Trooper charged with stealing $3,700 from dying man was captured on dash camera
BRIDGEPORT -- A veteran state trooper denied stealing $3,700 from the mangled body of an Orange man on the Merritt Parkway, even after his superiors learned it was captured on the dashboard video camera of the trooper's car.
Trooper Aaron "AJ" Huntsman argued that he was asking about the "crash" -- not for the "cash" -- from 49-year-old John Scalesse, who was lying unconscious in the back of an ambulance, according to the arrest warrant affidavit released Tuesday.
Huntsman, 43, is charged with two counts of third-degree larceny, interfering with police and tampering with evidence. He is scheduled to be arraigned in state Superior Court in Bridgeport on Dec. 10.
Scalesse was killed Sept. 22 after his motorcycle crashed into a construction truck in the northbound section of exit 44 on the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield.
"The more we think about it, the more upset we get," said Scalesse's father, John Scalesse Sr. "It's just shocking that a police officer with 18 years would so something like this."
The affidavit states that Huntsman, who was the first trooper at the crash scene, walked to where Scalesse lay on the ground, and bent down and picked up Scalesse's gold chain from a pool of blood. Later, Huntsman told Scalesse's grieving father that he didn't see any money on the victim.
Police said a second trooper who was on the crash scene, Mark DiCocco, initially claimed he didn't see Huntsman take the money and was evasive when questioned about the incident.
"He didn't want to say anything against an 18-and-a-half-year veteran who may be having some issues," the affidavit states.
DiCocco later admitted he called Huntsman to warn him of the investigation, the affidavit states. DiCocco was not charged in the incident.
State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance has conceded Huntsman's arrest is a black eye for the department. But, Vance said, after the Scalesse family complained, state police immediately notified State's Attorney John Smriga.
According to the warrant affidavit, EMTs had just loaded Scalesse into the ambulance when one of them found a large wad of cash in Scalesse's pocket; DiCocco refused to take the money because he said Scalesse was still alive, but Huntsman took it, saying, "I'll take it, I'll take it as evidence."
State police later found the cash secured with a rubber band and under the front seat of Huntsman's cruiser.
As the ambulance drove off, Fairfield Assistant Fire Chief Scott Bisson told Huntsman he thought Scalesse's injuries looked grave, the affidavit states.
But Bisson said Huntsman replied they didn't look so bad and that he had seen worse.
The next morning, Huntsman was working the front desk at Troop G when he received a call from Scalesse's father asking about the gold chain and cash from the accident scene.
"He stated that he advised the father that he was not aware of these items and that most likely they would have gone with his son to the hospital," the affidavit states.
Huntsman did not report the call to his supervisors. He later claimed he didn't report the call because he didn't know if the father was telling the truth.

Julia Child's Cheese Tarts – a simple, elegant appetizer.
Easy and Elegant are two words which define Julia Child's cooking.
I love Julia Child. I often pause in my kitchen and repeat the phrase that Christians coined: WWJD? – but when I'm in my kitchen "WWJD" means "What Would Julia Do?" Whenever I feel discouraged about my cooking prowess, I snuggle on my couch late at night and watch an episode of The French Chef. (Co-blogger Anne gave me a DVD set!) I laugh out loud every single time, and am instantly strengthened and renewed. When truly serious discouragement hits me, I bring out the big guns: Saturday Night Live's French Chef Skit: "You'll need a knife . . . a very, very, very sharp knife. . ." I dare any cook who watched Julia to watch this and not laugh out loud! It was during one of those late-night couch sessions that I saw her make cheese tartlets. I took copious notes, and I'm glad I did, because I have not been able to find this recipe written down anywhere. It's not in any of her cookbooks! You'll just have to trust my note taking on this one.
These are a masterpiece. Truly. I dare you to make appetizers that are as simple and yet sophisticated as these. It is impossible. They are the perfect blend of rich, satisfying flavors and melt-in-your-mouth comfort. If you have a favorite pie crust recipe, use that, or check out my miracle Never-Fail Pat-in-the-Pan Pie Crust.
Bonus: they take only minutes to throw together. Another bonus: they are very forgiving, and can be served warm or at room temperature. Add these mini-tarts to your Hostess Bag of Tricks. I promise you won't be sorry.

More stringent controls were enforced throughout the 16th century, partially due to the brand-new sex-related principles that came with the Protestant Improvement and also the Counter-Reformation.

What are the public health implications of global ageing?
Q: What are the public health implications of global ageing?
A: From 2000 until 2050, the world's population aged 60 and over will more than triple from 600 million to 2 billion. Most of this increase is occurring in less developed countries - where the number of older people will rise from 400 million in 2000 to 1.7 billion by 2050.
This demographic change has several implications for public health. Good health is key if older people are to remain independent and to play a part in family and community life. Life-long health promotion and disease prevention activities can prevent or delay the onset of noncommunicable and chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke and cancer.
But these diseases also need to be detected and treated early to minimize their consequences, and those who have an advanced disease will need decent long term care and support. These services are best delivered through comprehensive primary care.
Public health action can also draw on the capacities of older people. For example, the world's growing population of older people plays a critical role through volunteering, transmitting experience and knowledge, helping their families with caring responsibilities and increasing their participation in the paid labour force.

Liberty Counsel president Mat Staver baselessly asserted Florida mayor was hostile to Christianity because he was Jewish
On FOX News Live December 16, Liberty Counsel president and general counsel Mathew D. Staver claimed that a former Florida mayor was hostile to Christianity because he was "apparently Jewish." Staver's claim followed a December 15 court decision granting an "emergency injunction" requiring the town of Bay Harbor Islands to include a nativity scene in its holiday display until the court rules on the constitutionality of the town's holiday displays. In fact, former mayor Isaac Salver and the town council maintained that including the nativity scene violates the U.S. Constitution's establishment clause, instead deciding to use symbols not deemed religious -- examples included a Christmas tree and a Chanukah menorah -- in their holiday display.
From the December 16 edition of FOX News Live:
MAT STAVER: This case, really, talks about the essence of Christmas. Christmas is still constitutional. What happened in this case, it appears, is that the mayor had absolute hostility toward the religious, specifically the Christian, viewpoint of the nativity scene. In this case, the mayor was persistent over several months. The city council cancelled meetings, walked out when this issue came up, in fact, the mayor--
BRIGITTE QUINN (anchor): Mat, why was he hostile?
STAVER: Well, the mayor is apparently Jewish. Unfortunately, this looks like the mayor's particular vendetta against the nativity scene.
As the Miami Herald reported on December 16, the injunction requiring the town to include a nativity scene in its holiday display is in place until the constitutionality of the display is determined: "[U.S. District Court Judge Cecilia] Altonaga granted an emergency injunction allowing [plaintiff Sandra] Snowden to display a nativity scene for now until a decision is rendered on Snowden's larger suit, which seeks to find [the omission of a nativity scene in] the town's decorations unconstitutional. The town will file a stay to postpone the judge's order."
The Liberty Counsel describes itself as a "nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and the traditional family." In a December 2004 column for the National Liberty Journal, Staver claimed that the 2004 election was a "mandate on marriage," and that "[t]he most important issue for voters nationwide was marriage and morality. By morality, I mean abortion and embryonic stem cell research, which destroys a developing human life." In fact, according to a post-election Gallup survey (conducted November 3-December 12), voters ranked moral values only fourth among important issues; as Media Matters for America has noted, other polling data also contradicts Staver's claim. Reverend Jerry Falwell has said of Staver: "I can think of no greater work being done right now in America for the sake of our religious freedom and Christian heritage than that being done by Liberty Counsel and its founder and president Mathew Staver."

Watch UCLA - NUS EMBA Class of 2008 Commencement
Webcast: August, 23, 2008 at 18:00 PST (6 pm PST)
LOS ANGELES -- Eighty-seven students from 25 countries (see list below) are currently participating in a two-week set of intensive courses at UCLA Anderson as part of the UCLA - NUS Global Executive MBA Program, a 15-month dual-degree program where graduates receive two MBAs - one from UCLA Anderson and one from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School. For the 42 students of the 2008 graduating class, this is the final of six, two-week residential segments, following similar segments in Singapore, Shanghai and Bangalore. Graduates will celebrate their accomplishments at a commencement ceremony on Saturday, August 23, 2008.
"The one-of-a-kind format gives our students a rich international experience and the flexibility to balance work and a rigorous academic program," says Chris Erickson, professor and academic director of the UCLA-NUS Global Executive MBA program. "It is a relevant blend of global faculty, participants and location."
The two-week residential at UCLA Anderson represents the second segment for 45 first-year UCLA-NUS students. "The two-week immersion format and the global perspective as the core of the program was the very reason I chose to enroll," said Todd Hames, deal architect for BT Global Services and first year UCLA-NUS participant. "This program is going to give me the hard and soft skills necessary to round out my career progression. My goal is to run my own company one day and this program is going to help me get there."

Up to 10 percent of the ballots cast at a polling station in Pennsylvania reverted to a default, which gave Barack Obama a vote no matter who the voter had selected, according to a poll watcher who was a witness to the proceedings.
The incident took place in the state where officials claimed Obama got a total of 19,605 votes in 59 voting divisions to zero for Mitt Romney and not far from the 100 precincts in Ohio where Obama got 99 percent of the vote, a feat not even achieved by Third-World dictators, according to Market Daily News.
With evidence mounting that the vote tabulation did not reflect the true choices of voters, talk-radio icon Rush Limbaugh echoed the Daily News, saying Monday: "Third-world, tin-horn dictators don't get [these percentages]. I mean, the last guy that got this percentage of the vote was Saddam Hussein, and the people that didn't vote for him got shot. This just doesn't happen. Even Hugo Chavez [of Venezuela] doesn't get 100 percent or 99 percent of the vote."

It was in Upper Macungie Township, near Allentown, Pa., where an auditor, Robert Ashcroft, was dispatched by Republicans to monitor the vote on Election Day. He said the software he observed would "change the selection back to default – to Obama."
He said that happened in about 5 percent to 10 percent of the votes.
WND's newest forum is your opportunity to report voter fraud
He said the changes appeared to have been made by a software program.

Ashcroft said the format for computer programming has a default status, and in this case it appeared to be designating a vote for Obama each time it went to default.
He found it suspicious that Romney and Obama were in a virtual tie in most polls, but Obama then suddenly surged ahead by a number of points on election night.
"How the heck does that happen?" he wondered.
He said as a poll watcher, he was not allowed to communicate with officials there, so his concerns were submitted later to the state GOP.
Stand up to fight against voter fraud right now!

Officials with the Republican Committee in Harrisburg did not respond to a WND request for comment.
Ashcroft explained he had been assigned to monitor who voted, and as the evening went on and the local election computer system went up and down, he discovered that some people who had marked as having voted already also suddenly were reversed.
WND previously reported Obama's success was nominal in states where authorities required voter identification, while he was very successful in states that did not require it.
WND also reported prior to Election Day that officials in Virginia were asked to investigate after a video caught the field director for Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Moran's campaign in an apparent conspiracy to commit election fraud.

The video sting by James O'Keefe's Project Veritas, first reported by WND, prompted the resignation of Patrick Moran, who is also Jim Moran's son, and a criminal investigation by the Arlington County Police Department in Northern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.
In a commentary today, WND Founder and CEO Joseph Farah said "without a doubt" the presidential election was stolen through voter fraud and manipulation.
He said the evidence so far has been anecdotal.
Advertisement - story continues below
"I am convinced that at least 5 percent of the Democratic vote can be attributed to fraud – illegal voters, illegal campaign contributions, rigged balloting, intimidation at the polls, you name it."
Here's the blueprint Obama used to steal the 2012 election.
He noted WND's "own investigation in which it demonstrated conclusively that the Obama campaign welcomed foreign contributions by intentionally leaving vulnerabilities in its web donation page that allowed even those using bogus names, disposable credit cards and foreign IP addresses to donate cash."
In situations that appeared to be similar to that described by Ashcroft, Fox News reported that voters in Nevada, North Carolina, Texas and Ohio also said they had pushed a button on a touch-screen voting machine for Romney, but the machines recorded their vote for Obama.

"The voters in question realized the error and were able to cast ballots for their actual choice," the report said.
Joan Stevens said it took her three tries before the machine accepted her choice to vote for Romney, according to Fox.
"This is the first time in all the years that we voted that this has ever happened to me," she said.
Elections officials said there was nothing wrong with the machine.

At the White House website, a report in the Examiner explains, there was posted a petition seeking a recount of the race.
"In one county alone in Ohio, which was a battleground state, President Obama received 106,258 votes … but there were only 98,213 eligible voters. It's not humanly possible to get 108 percent of the vote," the petition claims.
Just a few of the reports, excluding those that are on blog postings, were:
Fox News reported that two election judges were replaced after illegally allowing unregistered voters to cast ballots.
Advertisement - story continues below
The Columbus Dispatch estimated that more than 20 percent of registered Ohio voters aren't eligible.
"In two counties, the number of registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age population," the report said. And, it said, in 31 other counties, registrations are above 90 percent of the population, "a rate regarded as unrealistic by most voting experts."
Fox News also documented how Senate candidate Wendy Long, an attorney who was a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, recounted her voting experience. "A poll worker who was at the scanner studied my private ballot and proceeded to tell me that it was rejected because I did not 'fill in every space.' She then proceeded to indicate that I should mark the Democratic line all the way down."
The Market Daily News reported on those 100 precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, that on election day gave Romney zero votes, and Obama got 99 percent. "In more than 50 different precincts, Romney received two votes or less," the report said. "One would think that such improbable results would get the attention of somebody out there."
According to Philly.com, 59 voting divisions in Philadelphia produced a "head-spinning figure," not one vote for Romney. "The unanimous support for Obama in these Philadelphia neighborhoods – clustered in almost exclusively black sections of West and North Philadelphia – fertilizes fears of fraud, despite little hard evidence," the newspaper said.
On YouTube was the testimony of a computer programmer, telling the Ohio Legislature that he was able to write a program that would rig elections by flipping the total vote from the real winner to a pre-selected candidate.
The Washington Times reported that officials in Florida banned observers from seeing the absentee ballots being opened and "there was no way to know whether the absentee ballots that were produced were the same ones that were opened, or if all the ballots were produced."
Human Events claimed Ohio voters who are native to Somalia were being given a slate card saying, "Vote Brown all the way down" – an apparent reference to the Democratic senator.
The Washington Times reported its suspicions of voter fraud in Pennsylvania, including that "in Philadelphia, the [New] Black Panthers are currently standing outside polling booths, intimidating voters just like they did in 2008." It said, too, that 70 Republican polling inspectors were blocked from access.
Among the blog postings in support of the concerns, cited by columnist Andrea Shea King, were:
"In Florida: Obama Got Over 99% in Broward County Precincts"
"What Luck! Obama Won Dozens of Cleveland Districts with 100% of the Vote"
"Good News: Obama Won County in Ohio with 108% Voter Registration"
"BREAKING: St. Lucie County, Florida Had 141.1% Turnout; Obama Won County"
"Fraud in PA: Obama Got Over 99% of Vote at Polls Where GOP Inspectors Were Removed; Turnout Somehow '30%' Above Gov't Numbers"
"Out of 175,554 registered voters, 247,713 vote cards were cast in St. Lucie County, Florida, on Tuesday"

African lily not a lily at all
Gardens all throughout our area are struttin' their stuff with spring in full swing. One of the most outstanding shows is the agapanthus in bloom. Oh yes, the agapanthus will stop you in your tracks with their stately beauty and wonderful fragrance.
The agapanthus (ag-uh-PANTH-us) originated in Africa. The Cape of Good Hope blooms with massive groups in its outdoor spaces, gathering admirers with agapanthus' height and huge blooms. Count on your agapanthus reaching 2-3 feet tall.
The name is derived from the Greek words "agape" (love) and "antho" (flower). It was introduced into Europe at the close of the 17th century. A publication from 1679 was found to have noted the gorgeous plant, calling it African hyacinth.
In Southeast Texas, the agapanthus usually proves hardy enough to make it through the winter. The leaves are long and glossy and stay green all year, so they are a great border plant even when they are not blooming. There are various ways that these beauties can be grown, which makes them versatile enough for lots of spaces in your garden. Use them as a border, a mass planting or in pots and tubs. Gardeners' input is that when the agapanthus is in a container, it blooms better when slightly root bound.
The agapanthus plant can be found in more than a half dozen varieties. There are pure white or pink, dwarf, variegated or not. The most popular variety by far is the yummy blue. Although not a lily, the common names for agapanthus are blue lily, African lily, and lily of the Nile.
Butterflies and birds and bees love them almost as much as we do. You can make the Lily of the Nile happiest by giving them at least full morning sun. They would appreciate fertile, aerated soil that does not get waterlogged. Water well during spring and summer. When the top three inches of soil feel dry, you need to water for sure. Fertilize weekly in the spring when the flowers are being formed. Every couple of years divide the plant to keep it vigorous.
So the man with the yard down the street has the same plants as you and his are blooming and yours are not? That can be frustrating. If you are having problems with your agapanthus blooming, you may need to fertilize each week and use a fertilizer heavy in phosphorus. These plants need lots of phosphorous to bloom. Another culprit of no blooms is too much water, which causes the soil to be waterlogged. In that case, begin to lighten the soil by adding mulch or loam with rotted leaves. In addition, several local gardeners agree that unless divided rather ruthlessly every few years, the blooming will all but stop.
Soil and sun determine the health of most of our plants. As with many flowers, they need their correct amount of sun to bloom. Plants that bloomed for years but stopped blooming might be located in an area where the surrounding vegetation has grown taller or lusher, blocking the sun needed for blooming. So you should be able to enjoy those fabulous, tall blooming agapanthus if you find them a sunny place in the yard that they like, feed them occasionally and give them an occasional haircut.

PASADENA – A dozen people were arrested and 15 hospitalized for public intoxication at the Eminem-Rihanna concert at the Rose Bowl Friday night, police said.
One person was arrested for suspicion of assaulting a security officer and obstructing police officers, Pasadena Police Department Cmdr. John E. Perez said.
There were no arrests for ticket scalping, Perez said. This followed the booking for five people for that offense on Thursday night, the opening night of the two-night concert stand.
"Maybe they got the word not to come out here and do it," Perez said.
The attendance was a near-capacity 55,000, Perez said.

The Economic Impact of School Violence: A Report for Plan International
Language: English
Download: English (PDF, 1.2 MB)
Based on research commissioned by Plan, the report found that the total cost of school violence in terms of social benefits lost in just 13 countries where information is available ran to almost US$60 billion.
Long-term damage
The report, taken from research carried out by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), looked at corporal punishment, bullying and sexual violence.
It found that children who experience violence at school are likely to earn less, be in greater need of healthcare and other services, and long-term, contribute less to their countrys economy.
The problem is a significant barrier to achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals - as it leads to truancy, under-performance and high drop-out rates.
The report concludes that violence affects both developing and developed countries and is costing children their futures and keeping them poor.
Blight of violence
Plan Chief Executive Officer Nigel Chapman said: Most societies rightly place a high value on education. It is a route out of poverty for children and their families and is crucial to economic development.
Yet its returns are being vastly diminished by the blight of violence in schools a major cause of non-attendance and, as this research has found, a considerable drain on the public purse. No state can afford to ignore these findings.
Vital investment
Eradicating school violence takes commitment and resources - but failing to invest in it costs considerably more.
Plans work on its global Learn Without Fear campaign to end violence in schools has found many examples of cost-effective measures which have made schools safer, reduced violence and brought immediate financial savings.
Plan is calling on governments to:
introduce or enforce legislation banning all forms of violence
invest funds in proven interventions to prevent school violence
invest in teacher training and promote positive discipline methods
establish school and teacher codes of conduct and reporting mechanisms.

Cardinal Health Inc.'s CAH, -2.22% fiscal second-quarter earnings rose 16% as the drug wholesaler reported improved margins that helped to offset weaker revenue at its pharmaceutical division, which was caused partly by generic-drug introductions.
For the year, the second-biggest drug distributor in the U.S. by sales raised the lower end of its forecast for per-share earnings from continuing operations and now expects $3.42 to $3.50, compared with its prior estimate for $3.35 to $3.50.
A wave of introductions of major generic drugs has been a mixed benefit for the industry, including Cardinal and competitor McKesson Corp. MCK, -1.97%. Generic drugs carry higher margins than branded drugs but can hurt sales as they command lower prices. McKesson has seen generic conversions weigh on sales in recent quarters.
Cardinal also previously had disclosed the loss of its contract with pharmacy-benefits manager Express Scripts Holding Co. ESRX to rival AmerisourceBergen Corp. ABC, -2.35%.
Two of Cardinal's huge drug-distribution customers, Walgreen Co. WAG, +0.00% and CVS Caremark Corp. CVS, -2.92%, have contracts set to end this summer. Combined, the drugstore chains accounted for a major chunk of Cardinal's revenue in the past fiscal year. Such big wholesale contracts also draw lots of attention when they come up for renewal.
However, Cardinal Chief Executive George Barrett has played down such big contracts, saying they tend to be high volume but worth less on the bottom line.
For the quarter ended Dec. 31, Cardinal Health reported a profit of $303 million, or 88 cents a share, up from $262 million, or 75 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring- and acquisition-related charges and other items, adjusted earnings from continuing operations rose to 93 cents a share from 81 cents. Revenue decreased 6.8% to $25.2 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently projected earnings of 86 cents a share on revenue of $24.61 billion.
Gross margin rose to 4.9% from 4.1%.
The company said revenue at its pharmaceutical business, its largest by revenue, declined 8% to $22.7 billion, driven primarily by brand-to-generic conversions and the loss of the Express Scripts business. However, segment profit grew 12% to $441 million on stronger performance from its generics business and the addition of new customers.
The medical business, which provides medical and surgical products and services to hospitals, doctors' offices and other health-care providers, is the smaller of Cardinal Health's core businesses. The segment reported revenue increased 3% to $2.5 billion with a boost from last year's acquisition of FutureMed and an additional sales day. Segment earnings rose 11% to $94 million.
Shares closed Monday at $43.66 and were inactive premarket.

Academic Calendar
Class meetings may not be extended beyond the last day of classes, as specified in the Academic Calendar. All instructors must adhere to the dates set in the calendar. Rosters for all courses are available on eBear and New CourseWorks@Barnard. At some times of year, there are discrepancies among the online rosters.
Administering Coursework for Students with Disabilities
In accordance with federal law, it is the College's policy to provide reasonable accommodations to meet the needs of students with documented disabilities. Examples of accommodations which have customarily been requested and permitted may include exam accommodations such as extended time or modified formats, assistive technology, readers, notetakers, and the use of tape recorders. Students who anticipate needing disability-related test or classroom accommodations are required to register with the Office of Disability Services (ODS), then self-identify and meet with their instructors to discuss their needs at the beginning of each semester. All students with disabilities who are registered with ODS are provided a copy of the College's policy in this matter. Faculty members who wish to receive a copy, or who have any questions, should visit the ODS website.
A Barnard student or alumna may audit a Barnard course with permission from the instructor. Instructors are under no obligation to grant permission, although it is a privilege regularly extended to Barnard alumnae. No credit is given for a course taken on an audit basis and no acknowledgment is made on a transcript. Auditors are silent participants in class and may join in discussion only at the discretion of the instructor.
Columbia University's School of Continuing Education and Special Programs may also refer auditors to lecture courses through its Auditing Programs. No more than three auditors are permitted in courses with enrollments less than 30. No more than five are permitted in classes with enrollments greater than 30. Auditors are not permitted to attend seminars, limited enrollment courses, or courses above the 4000 level. If you have questions about auditors referred to your course by Columbia, or do not wish to admit these auditors to your class, contact the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, Continuing Education and Special Programs, Columbia University at 854-3771.
Books for Courses
Instructors are expected to order the books that students purchase from bookstores near the campus, among them:
Columbia University Bookstore (854-4265) Lerner Hall, Broadway at 115th Street
Book Culture, (865-1588) 536 W. 112th Street
Orders should be submitted at least one month before the beginning of the semester. Desk copies are available, subject to the policies of the individual bookstore.
Textbook Requirement
New federal guidelines require that instructors enter their textbook information by the beginning of program planning. The College, in cooperation with Columbia University, has included a tool on your New CourseWorks@Barnard pages to enable you to post information about required or recommended books. Once you have your UNI log-in to New CourseWorks@ Barnard:
- Click on the course to which you would like to add textbooks;
- On the top, next to "edit intro," click on "edit textbooks";
- Enter the 10-digit or 13-digit ISBN into the box (or answer the prompts if the books for the course do not have ISBNs);
- Click "Get Book Info";
- Select whether the course is required or recommended to save the textbook information.
Cancelation of Under-Registered Courses
A course may be canceled if it enrolls fewer than five students. Instructors with fewer than seven students at the first meeting of a scheduled course should promptly inform their Department Chairs, who will notify the Provost.
Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend classes regularly, and if the quality of a student's work is affected by frequent or prolonged absence, the instructor may deny a student the privilege of making up work or taking the final examination. Maintaining a record of absences and lateness is recommended. Please notify the appropriate Class Dean about a delinquent student in a timely way so that s/he and the student's adviser have an opportunity to discuss options with her and determine whether there are larger issues affecting her performance.
Letters of Recommendations
Faculty who know the work of students sufficiently well to write appropriate letters of recommendation are expected to perform this service. Completed letters of recommendation for academic and employment purposes should be sent to the Dean of Studies Office, where a copy will be kept in the student's file. To avoid undermining a student's application, faculty members are asked to complete recommendations by the deadlines specified as long as the student has provided sufficient advance notice. While faculty members are not obligated to write a letter for every student who asks, agreeing to do so incurs the obligation to write and return the letter in a timely fashion.
Additionally, faculty are reminded that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (the "Buckley Amendment") requires that students be permitted access to their official educational records, including letters of recommendation and interdepartmental memoranda, unless they waive their right to access. Personal notes of faculty or administrative members are exempt from disclosure, as are medical records and the financial statements of students' parents.
The Act also prohibits the release of personally identifiable information without the written consent of the student. Records of all persons outside the College who examine or receive such information must be available to the student. Parents of College students may not receive information about their children without written consent unless they supply stipulated proof to the College of the legal financial dependency of their children.
Because students may forbid the release of their names to persons outside the College, the Registrar should be consulted before any such action is taken.
Office Hours
All Officers of Instruction are expected to schedule at least two hours per week as regular office hours and to observe them consistently. Office hours are normally specified during program planning periods. Faculty members should also be available to students at other times, by appointment if necessary.
Posting Grades
Please note that you should not post grades with social security numbers. If instructors do post grades, either on paper or online, they should use some other identifier. Both Barnard and Columbia students have computer system I.D. numbers (this is the number included on Barnard rosters and grade sheets), which do not pose the same legal problem. However, it is best not to post grades where students can see other students' grades, even without names. If using Courseworks, for example, the instructor should choose the option, "Students only see their individual grades."
Preservation of Course Records
Instructors should retain final exams for one year. (After that, they may be thrown out, but they should be shredded, not simply put in the trash.) Students have the right to review their final exams, but not to take them away. That is, a student may look at her/his final exam, but only in the presence of the instructor, in the instructor's office. Exams should not be kept in a public or semi-public place, and a student should not be allowed to look at her/his exam unsupervised.
Students in Academic Difficulty
All faculty members at Barnard and Columbia are asked to submit online reports to the appropriate deans' offices regarding students in academic difficulty. Instructors should describe deficiencies frankly so that students and their advisers and Class Deans have an understanding of the magnitude of these problems and are thus able to make informed decisions about options. The report form is uploaded every semester and can be found online: for Barnard students, see the Early Academic Report (EAR); for Columbia students, see the Academic Difficulty Report (ADR). As an alternative to the form, phone calls from instructors to the appropriate deans are also appreciated. The Barnard Dean of Studies Office extension is 4-2024.
Teaching Assignments and Class Meeting Times
Officers of Instruction are assigned to courses, laboratory or studio offerings, and meeting times are assigned by the Department Chair or Program Director. Room assignments are made by the Registrar.
Use of Student Laptops in Classrooms
Instructors have the right to allow or to limit the use of electronic devices in their classrooms as they see fit, as long as the practice is in accord with College policy on accommodations for disabled students. It is recommended that instructors include a statement of policy on laptops in their course syllabi.

Oil falls with consumer confidence, budget impass
NEW YORK The price of crude fell Thursday following a reported drop in consumer confidence and also growing pessimism that political leaders in Washington can reach a budget deal.
By late morning, U.S. benchmark crude fell 35 cents to $90.63 barrel in New York.
Jobless aid applications drop to 5-year low
New home sales jump to highest in 2 1/2 years
Consumer confidence falls on "fiscal cliff" fears
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the nation appears headed for automatic tax hikes and spending cuts on Jan. 1 because of a lack of progress in budget negotiations between President Barack Obama and Congress. With time running out to avoid a "fiscal cliff," traders fear that the U.S. could slip into another recession, which would cut demand for energy.
The budget negotiations have begun to drag on consumer confidence, and that too can affect energy prices.
The consumer confidence index fell this month to 65.1, down from 71.5 in November, according to the Conference Board on Thursday. It was the second straight monthly decline and the lowest level recorded since August.
Investors will be monitoring fresh information on U.S. stockpiles of crude and refined products over the next day.
Prices at the pump rose Thursday. The national average for gasoline reached $3.261 a gallon, up 1.4 cents from the day before. The price is now 3 cents above a year ago.
In London, Brent crude, used to price various kinds of foreign oil, was down 82 cents to $110.25 per barrel.
In other energy futures trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
-Heating oil was unchanged at $3.03 a gallon.
-Wholesale gasoline fell 1 cent to $2.78 a gallon.
-Natural gas lost 4 cents to $3.35 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Once more unto the breach
So the day has arrived, the game's afoot and kick off just hours away. The vuvuzela shofers will sound, the home team will cheer the players bought from overseas by cheque book scribblers and not a few brown-bags if not brown-nosed bungs. The fans will wrap themselves in the team colours of black and white, many own goals will be scored, the captain is guaranteed to be ruled offside and if I'm not careful I'll shortly be running out of metaphors.
But what do they hope to achieve and how do we measure their success? If a sell-out crowd is what they're after they have secured it by shrinking the stadium and summoning the kids which are never in short supply round here. We do have them for a reason, after all. If logging off or filters is their aim it may cause a temporary upward blip and then life will settle back to its normal course just as it did in the USA. The organisers will want to see how widely the event is covered on websites which their filters would otherwise block so some leeway will always be needed.
Whatever this rally's lasting legacy is it will not be to halt the onward march of technology or turn the tide of the internet, social media and global communications. It is only with the aid of the internet that they could arrange this event, hire the venue, bring speakers from around the globe, leaflet the place day after day and then gloat for ever after on their delusions of might and power.
For badly deluded they are. To arrange this event they have practically sold out the North West segment of the community. If I were a Golders Green resident I would be asking myself why must I associate with this lot if they care so little about me. North West London had a meeting discussing the internet only about 2 months ago. Without fanfare and in a modest school hall about 2000 people listened to an array of speakers who discussed practical solutions to a modern-day problem. The speeches were in English which is the vernacular of Golders Green and at least one of the speakers was a technology expert.
So why is this meeting called for again and why do they pretend to represent klal yisroel? If the UOHC represents all its constituent shuls why were virtually all notices and posters in Yiddish? Is it not that they are simply embarrassed to repeat all this nonsense in English where it will be judged by more level-headed people and laughed off the pitch with a mass exit from the stands?
If I were not carrying in the eiruv every Shabbos because the UOHC banned it, if my wife and kids were stuck in at home, elderly people and the disabled housebound due to the obduracy and intractability of the UOHC rabbis I would be asking what is in it for me. To ensure the attendance of the various chasidim, Padwa went grovelling to their rebbes, signing his name and his mother's name like a pleading supplicant. To placate the Belzers, Reb Leibish was kept even from the substitutes' benches, and in order not to upset the Satmarers speeches are all in Yiddish besides one at the end by which time the holy ones can make their exit for their ministering angel will not attend an ESOL course. Yet to its long suffering members in Golders Green the UOHC and its rabbis have shown nothing but an oversized middle finger.
What they will be saying loud and clear tonight is: Klal Yisroel includes you not. Your meetings do not count, your support is unnecessary, your attendance not called for and your yiddishkeit in grave doubt. We are happy to take your moolah for our pounds of kosher flesh but as for you in person your smell is rather too pleasant for us less sensitive noses.
In New York they at least made a pretence of achdus but no such trivialities concern us here where scornful disregard is the name of the game. Obscure Lubavitch rabbis from Edgware are kosher but Rabbis Ehrentrau, Lichtenstein, Gelley, Abrahams and many others count for nothing. They summon Mount Sinai to their cause as if Judaism is dependent on 4000 loonies but they are nothing more than the club whose home ground they will occupy: a 3rd tier league devoid of star players.
And that is as far as they go. To the rest of us they will appear like wolves howling at the moon. Having sold out to the most extreme elements they will warn, threaten, cajole and plead supposedly for the future of Judaism and the souls of our children. Here in our community is a school established by communal figures, funded by communal coffers when not directly by us the taxpayers yet it excludes children at a whim term after term and year after year. And when the brothers who act as goalkeepers, players, captains, referees, managers, chairmen and shareholders all in one are summoned by Padwa he is laughed at to his face.
They will talk about sanctity yet here in Stamford Hill, in Craven Walk, is a mikveh which has been a building site for close to a decade grossly insulting if not endangering the women who use it. But they care for women only in their state of dress not undress. It was a similar situation with other mikvehs until someone stepped in. Funds are available for this extravaganza but as far as true kedusha is concerned let them dunk themselves in drains and keep the fancy mikves for the men. It is no exaggeration that we have some of the worst mikves in the entire chareidi world. But then others push their buggies on Shabbos while our womenfolk are better off stuck in at home.
And then there are the masses of our youth which see through all this hypocrisy, double dealing and sanctimony. They will not be saved by your howling of Shema. Your voice will not reach their ears just like when many of them are sexually and physically abused their cries do not reach yours. Your bans and prohibitions will ring hollow when all you seek to cover up are your own misdeeds. Many of these youths, our very future, are gone forever not thanks to the Internet but to you sitting there blinded by the glare of the floodlights and booming out your own voices to drown out all others.
Howl, howl, howl, howl! Oh, you are men of stones.
Had I your tongues and eyes, I'd use them so
That heaven's vault should crack. She's gone forever.
(King Lear, Act V, Scene III)
Mutiny in the terraces
Another day another poster. The anti-internet rally organisers have been pasting our walls for the last fortnight with the palette of colours technology places at their disposal while the opposition uses nothing more than an old fashioned word processor and so must do with black and white.
The message however is clear: Leave the kids at home - this is not where they belong. If you want the kids to see their gedoilim take them to a shul not a stadium.
The organisers have spent a fortune to shrink the stadium so that banks of empty seats are not flashed round the world by tweeters at the anti-tweeting rally. All they need the kids for is as a stop gap and so at worst they might have to readjust slightly the partition. Moving the goalposts is what they call it at Leyton Orient.

Rav Schlesinger opposes rally
Hurrah for common sense! Finally someone is prepared to say what many are thinking and saying in shuls and mikves up and down the square mile that the event is an ego trip of our dear Rov and Rosh Hakohol and the expense, the invitees, the leaflets and the venue are simply to show that we can do everything that NY can. Except of course that NY has an eiruv.
It may be for the wrong reasons but how refreshing to see a contrarian view in these mad times. Reb Elyokum may also be concerned only with children, teens and koilel yungeleit rather than the event as a whole but then one must be mad to want to bring kids along in the first place. Incidentally, the Schlesingers are also the ones who won't hold their events in YHS which suggests they know a lot more than we do.
Reb Elyokum: we're all Briskers for a day!
Open letter to Internet-banning rabbis (Yiddish)
Open letter to rabbis banning the internet (Yiddish)
I would love to translate this letter which has been doing the rounds on the internet and if only I found the time. (Any takers?) It was written in response to the New York anti-internet rally in May and a recent incident which scandalised the Satmar enclave in upstate New York when a father of several kids was kicked out of the family home after confessing his atheism to his wife.
Basically the letter blames the ills of the internet's influence on our society on our rotten education system. If the rabbis are really interested in doing something about the problem, the letter says, they should stop navel gazing, banning and controlling. Instead they should institute some sorely needed reforms, teach children the beauties of a Judaism that isn't about excluding, banning, beatings, petty disputes and power struggles and our children might not be dazzled and fall for the world outside their ghetto on their first point of encounter.

The final box office figures are in for this past weekend and they show that Platinum Dune's A Nightmare On Elm Street remake grossed $32.9 million in its first three days of release - that's just about enough to cover production costs on the new Freddy Krueger flick.
Needless to say, Warner Bros. is already looking to develop a sequel that would see Jackie Earle Haley back as the metal-clawed Krueger - and yes, there's a good chance his next killing spree will be in 3D.
You might recall that Nightmare On Elm Street producer Brad Fuller was hesitant last week to start talking up a sequel - especially given the recent death of his Friday the 13th: Part 2 3D project. Now that his new horror remake is a hit, however, it'd probably be a safe bet to assume that Fuller will be onboard for another venture down Elm Street.
Warner Bros. distribution president Dan Fellman certainly is, having already announced that - although there is neither a story nor the beginning of a script for A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 - "[the Nightmare On Elm Street opening weekend] is the largest horror opening in the April-May corridor, and it just proves there's a lot left in the franchise."
For now, Nightmare On Elm Street scribes Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer - who will also pen the upcoming Final Destination 5 - seem all but set to pen the sequel as well. Director Samuel Bayer - who made his feature-length directorial debut with the remake - has in the past claimed that would not be back for another outing with Freddy Krueger. Of course, as he admitted to Dread Central last week, "Don't rule me out just yet if there is a sequel. You never know how things work out. I'd love to do it again."
So at last we come to the million dollar question - will A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 be in 3D?
Well, producer Brad Fuller has already spoken on this matter and has insisted that he believes "3D movies have to be designed and written as such... I don't want to shoehorn the story just so we can use 3D technology. I do really think [a Nightmare On Elm Street] movie and the visual style would work well within a 3D environment, though, so you never know."
Of course there is one other question - do fans want to see A Nightmare On Elm Street 2?
The Nightmare On Elm Street reviews seems to be mixed at best - you can read our review HERE - as the flick has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of only 16% and an IMDB average around 6.1, currently. The biggest issue that a lot of moviegoers seem to have with the film is that it's simply unoriginal, unimaginative, and lacks the charm of previous Freddy Krueger films.
But what do you think? Are you psyched for the Nightmare On Elm Street sequel? Do you think the 3D factor could solve some of the problems that the remake suffered from?
We'll keep you posted on the progress of A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 as more information comes in.
