I think it takes more effort for me to open my notebook and study than it takes to actually read the material. The two papers, one pre-lim, and one lab practical that I had mentioned in the previous post are still hanging over my head. I finished one paper (on the photograph in Life Magazine by Robert Capa of the dying Spanish soldier from the Spanish Civil war back in 1936), wrote the outline for my philosophy paper, and just wrapped up studying for the night on my Politics of Violence course. By the time I exert the oomph to open my book and review the material, I'm exhausted and can't concentrate/ read a couple pages and call an intermission. My brain is so out of shape, gees. This state of mind brings back fond memories of senior year in high school. I guess I should cherish it now because it will never happen again…oh my mom is going to be so mad at me.
On another note, I found a $5 bill blowing in the wind on my walk up to my Ethics and Healthcare course. I figured I'd be ethical and put the money in the poor box when I go to church. Maybe that'll give me the karma necessary to get a good grade on the test. Kant and his deontological argument would say that's not very ethical whatsoever. Kant didn't understand the concept of a senior slide.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Jamie Langenbrunner Announces His Retirement
by Paul on 01/15/14 at 02:36 PM ET
Comments (1)
via NHLPA release...
TORONTO (January 15, 2014) – Jamie Langenbrunner announced his retirement today from the National Hockey League (NHL), bringing an end to a decorated career that spanned 16 NHL seasons.
Langenbrunner, 38, a native of Cloquet, Minnesota walks away from the game as a two-time Stanley Cup champion (1999, 2003) and a two-time Olympian with the United States (1998, 2010). The versatile and dependable forward appeared in a total of 1,109 games in his NHL career with three teams: Dallas Stars, New Jersey Devils and St. Louis Blues. Over the course of his career, Langenbrunner scored 243 goals and 420 assists for 663 points, and also recorded a plus-minus rating of +62 to go along with 837 penalty minutes.
He was known as a key contributor throughout his career, supported by the 58 game-winning goals he scored in the regular season, as well as the 34 goals and 87 playoff points he recorded in 146 postseason games.
"It was a dream come true to have the opportunity to play in the NHL for 16 seasons. The friendships I developed with my teammates, and also the people in the communities where I played, will always be cherished by my family and I," said Langenbrunner. "I would like to thank Bob Gainey, Lou Lamoriello and Doug Armstrong for giving me the opportunity to play against the top players in hockey, in the best league in the world. I'd also like to thank my coaches and teammates for helping a kid from Minnesota enjoy a long, fulfilling hockey career. Finally I'd like to thank my truly amazing family for all their sacrifices they made so I could live my dream."
Langenbrunner was drafted 35th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. After starring in his hometown of Cloquet, MN as a high-school player, including his final season where he scored 27 goals in 27 games, Langenbrunner made the move to Peterborough, ON to continue his junior development with the Petes franchise of the Ontario Hockey League. The sturdy right-winger enjoyed immense personal success in his two seasons in Peterborough, playing in 62 games in back-to-back seasons and notching over 90 points in both campaigns.
After playing the first two NHL games of his career late in the 1994-95 season with Dallas, he would make the full-time jump to the professional ranks in 1995-96. Langenbrunner had a strong season with the Michigan K-Wings of the International Hockey League, scoring 65 points in 59 games, earning him the honours as team's most valuable player and rookie of the year. His strong play also earned him a promotion to the Stars lineup where he saw action in 12 NHL games, which included his first career NHL goal that he scored on October 26, 1995.
Langenbrunner would solidify himself as a full-time NHL player during the 1996-97 season with the Stars, playing 76 regular season games, while notching 39 points to place sixth among all rookies. The versatile forward would continue his strong play in the subsequent season, scoring 23 goals for the Stars in 81 games played in 1997-98. During the 1999 playoffs, Langenbrunner's play would cement his reputation as a clutch-performer, when he registered 10 goals and 17 points in 23 playoff games, helping lead the Stars to the franchise's first Stanley Cup.
After spending parts of eight seasons with the Stars organization, Langenbrunner was traded to the New Jersey Devils on March 19, 2002 in a blockbuster deal that would re-shape both franchises. Langenbrunner and Joe Nieuwendyk were sent to the Devils in exchange for Jason Arnott, Randy McKay and a first-round draft choice in the 2002 Draft. With the Devils in 2002-03, Langenbrunner captured his second Stanley Cup title. He followed-up his strong regular season, which included totals of 22 goals and 33 assists for 55 points in 78 games, with an outstanding playoff performance that saw him contribute 11 goals and seven assists for 18 points – tying teammate Scott Niedermayer for the most among all playoff scorers – to help the Devils hoist the Cup.
Langenbrunner would spend parts of nine seasons with the Devils franchise, a time that would see him become the eighth team captain (2007) in franchise history and where he would put up the strongest statistical season of his career, when he recorded career-highs in goals (29), points (69) and plus-minus (+25) in 2008-09.
After starting the 2010-11 season with the Devils, Langenbrunner was dealt back to the Dallas Stars in January of 2011, where he accumulated 18 points (5 goals, 13 assists) in 39 games with the club that drafted him.
In the summer of 2011, Langenbrunner signed as a free-agent with the St. Louis Blues, playing the 2011-12 season with the Western Conference club, compiling 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) in 70 games played. He played in four games in 2012-13, but an injury forced him to miss the majority of the season.
Aside from his success in the NHL, Langenbrunner also had the opportunity to represent the United States on the international stage during his career. He is a two-time Olympian (1998, 2010), finishing fourth at the 1998 Games in Nagano and bringing home a silver-medal with the 2010 American side in Vancouver, a team that he captained. He also wore the American sweater in the 2004 World Cup and was twice a member of the USA Hockey entry in the IIHF World Junior Championships (1994, 1995).
Throughout his career, Langenbrunner was also an active and involved member of the Players' Association, working off the ice on behalf of his fellow NHLPA members. He served as an NHLPA Player Representative while with the Stars and Devils; he was a member of the NHLPA Search Committee (2009-2010) that would ultimately recommend Don Fehr as NHLPA Executive Director; and he was a was a member of the NHLPA Negotiating Committee during CBA negotiations (2012-2013).
Jamie, his wife Elizabeth and their three children will continue to reside in Minnesota.

Jamie has always been one of my favorites.
Watched him play in IHL Kalamazoo and remember thinking "Wow, this guy is good. But man is he always in a sour mood" because there wasn't anyone in the IHL he wouldn't take a swing at. And he wasn't a very big guy either. Probably my favorite K-Wing all-time behind Kevin Evans. After almost every whistle when he was on the ice, he was involved with a scrum or scuffle with someone.
It's pretty amazing that he's still been around and lasted this long. Good for him. He has nothing in his career to really be ashamed of.

It is not every day that you stumble onto something that will take two completely unrelated subjects and somehow fluidly bring them together. Case in point, Mark Sable and Paul Azaceta's 'Graveyard of Empires;' a new comic being published through Image Comics. The series will take the Afghanistan war and throws zombies into the mix in a truly awesome way- the best part is that in this totally crazy way it sort of works. Check out the full interview with writer Mark Sable and some gorgeous interior pages from Paula Azaceta, below!
Comic Vine: What can you tell us about the 'Graveyard of Empires' story (characters, setting, premise)?
MARK SABLE: GRAVEYARD OF EMPIRES is a war/horror story about Marines and Taliban teaming up to fight zombies in Afghanistan. We've been saying it's "The Hurt Locker" meets "The Walking Dead", but it's more than just another zombie story or a genre mash-up, though.
Despite the fact we're in (at least) two wars, there are very few war comics out there right now, which is strange given that mainstream American comics have been ahead of other mediums in terms of dealing honestly with war since WWII. While our ultimate goal is to scare/entertain the reader, we also think it's the most realistic comic about the war in Afghanistan.
Our story starts when a young Lieutenant arrives at the remote Combat Outpost Alamo in Afghanistan to replace the recently killed C.O. of an undermanned Marine squad. Fresh of a "successful" tour in Iraq, he thinks he can apply the lessons of the surge – making strong, public shows of force to increase security while winning over hearts and minds - to a far more hostile environment.
He finds the winning over the locals an almost impossible task. Afghans are at best indifferent to the Marines, and at worst secretly aiding the Taliban - some by choice, some out of necessity, some because of coercion. The Taliban force them to grow opium, while American policy is to burn their fields for doing so. The Taliban take their boys as child soldiers, and their girls as child brides. The Afghan National Police rape anyone they can find. When the Taliban aren't busy extorting the locals for their cut of the opium crop, they are constantly shelling the outnumbered Marines and setting up ambushes and IEDs. The Marines the Lt. finds are worn down and wary about leaving the wire. The only Marine who does want to engage with the local populace is an overly aggressive Sniper who is constantly challenging his authority. These are just some of the threats the Lt, and his Marines face, and that's BEFORE the dead start walking the earth.
The Lt. is one of the main characters, but with any survival horror story it helps to have an ensemble cast so you never know who is going to survive. Besides the Lt. and his rebellious Sniper, we also follow a drug-addicted Explosive Ordinance Disposal (E.O.D.) team member who needs heroin to deal with the stress of dismantling IEDs, and a Female Engagement Officer who's there to bring hope to women suffering years of oppression. Add a double-dealing Afghan police officer and a doctor forced by the Taliban to surgically implant explosives in suicide bombers and I think you've got the most original cast in comics.
CV: What was it like working on this project with Paul Azaceta and how did you two team up for the book?
MARK: Paul illustrated and co-created my first comic, GROUNDED, which launched both our careers. Since then, we've been dying to work together, and it feels like my career is coming full circle with our reunion. As a writer I can work on multiple projects, and I've had the luxury of doing both Marvel and DC work as well as creator-owned books. Asking Paul to take months off successful runs on Hellboy: BPRD 1946 for Mike Mignola and Amazing Spider-Man with Mark Waid was not easy. The fact he did so for GRAVEYARD is a testament to how committed he is to this book, his first creator-owned project in years. This has, without a doubt, been the most collaborative project I've ever worked on. Paul didn't just bring my vision to life, he did a ton of research and helped shaped the story. This is a real passion project for me, but there's no one I trust more to challenge me to do my best work.
CV: Your projects tend to be relatively politically charged; this one in particular. Why is that?
MARK: I like getting stopped by the TSA. They pat me down in all the right places. Seriously, I don't go looking for politically charged material, and I don't do it for attention. I do it if it happens to fit the story I'm telling. I don't know if you can tell a story about Afghanistan without being political in some sense. One of the great things about comics is that there's relatively little money compared to other mediums. With that said, I hope that what comes across isn't my political point of view. I like to ask questions and let the readers, who are invariably smarter than me, come to their own conclusion.
CV: Where did you draw inspiration to create a story that combines the current political state of Afghanistan and zombies?
MARK: It came from something called "insurgent math". That's this idea that for every insurgent you kill, you create ten more - because you've pissed off ten of his family and friends. Zombies seemed like a great metaphor for that...you kill someone, he comes back and bites ten more people, and now you've got a zombie horde. The more research I did about the Taliban, the more [I realized the] parallels there were with zombies. The Taliban's motives are often mysterious, they seem to fight without the need for eating or sleeping, and no matter how many you kill they just keep coming in endless waves.
CV: If you could describe the story to the reader in three words what would they be?
MARK: Taliban frickin' zombies.
CV: Release date?
MARK: JUNE 15th, 2011 for the 1st issue (of 3) issues for Volume One. We plan on doing the series Hellboy/Criminal style, where we do self contained volumes that continue the saga).
It's available for pre-order now, with Diamond Code: APR11 0400, along with three of my TPBs being re-solicted GROUNDED (APR11 0401), HAZED (APR11 0402), and the previously sold-out RIFT RAIDERS (APR11 1079), which is being sold at a 1/3 off cover price.

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA (January 30, 2017) – Three people were killed and two were injured when a Robinson 44 helicopter crashed into a house on Shearwater Place in Newport Beach on Tuesday, according to a local news source. (map)
The helicopter, which had been subleased to Revolution Aviation, was carrying four people when it crashed into a home on Shearwater Place around 2:00 pm. The crash also involved at least one pedestrian on the ground. Three of the five people involved were killed, and two more were rushed to hospitals in unknown condition.
The helicopter belonged to Eric Spitzer of Spitzer Helicopter Leasing, who had leased the Robinson R44 to Revolution Aviation, a flight school and touring company. Revolution Aviation is based out of John Wayne Airport and has operated with a 100% safety record until this incident. The resident of the home that the helicopter crashed into was inside the house at the time of the crash, but was miraculously uninjured.
Robinson 44s are among the most popular civilian helicopters in the world, due to their relatively low price and lightweight construction. They are especially popular for flight schools, sightseeing companies, and police departments. This is the third serious crash in Southern California during the last year involving a Robinson R44. In May of 2017 a helicopter crashed into a golf course in Santa Barbara, injuring three, and in July an R44 crashed into a street in Sherman Oaks, injuring four.
It is unknown at this time whether the helicopter was on a sightseeing expedition or a flight training one, and it is also unknown if those killed were all inside the helicopter. Initial reports by the Flight Safety Foundation indicate that two of the deaths may have been inside the helicopter, and the remaining victim may have been on the ground, but these reports have not been substantiated yet. The helicopter was relatively new and had been manufactured in 2003, and was leased to Revolution in 2016.
Initial reports also seem to indicate that the helicopter had just taken off when the accident happened. Witnesses on the ground say they heard the helicopter blades slowing down as it approached, as if it was experiencing engine trouble. It also appeared to those on the ground that the helicopter was trying to land in the street, but clipped the roof of a house across the street before it spun into the home on Shearwater Place.
The investigation is ongoing into this tragic accident, and the FAA and the NTSB are both on scene to investigate the accident. These investigations can sometimes take years, but initial findings should be available before then. Lexton Law will continue to update this article as more information becomes available.
"The prayers of everyone at Lexton Law Firm are with the families and friends of those killed and injured in this horrible accident. We hope those injured in the accident make a full recovery, and we hope the families of those killed able to find some answers," said the attorneys from Lexton Law Firm.

What types of clothing looks best on taller girls?
Perhaps you know where to find clothing when you're tall, but how about what to wear? It actually isn't that hard to pull together great outfits as there are so many fashionable clothes for tall women out there! Models are tall for a reason–taller girls look really good in clothing. And contrary to the modeling industry, you do not have to be a size 00 to pull off looking fabulous. The secret is in how you dress!
However, there are certain pieces and styles you can definitely use to your advantage as a taller girl. I've compiled a list of the best clothing for tall girls. While appropriate styles will vary by body type, the same general tips can apply to most tall women.
Here's my list of 8 staple items that every tall girl should own, and rock!
Jeans look amazing on long legs, every tall girl should own at least one pair of jeans that fit well and look great. Actually, this holds true for girls of any height. Look for skinny, slim or boot cut styles as they will best flatter your legs! Skinny jeans look especially great on slender long legs, boot cut styles are really good for girls with thicker legs.
Scoop neck, v-neck or button up style tops
Look for shirts with v-neck and scoop neck styles or button up tops–any kind of shirt that will take the attention off the shoulders and in towards the center of the body is good. Shirts that are tight around the collar will only emphasis broad shoulders. Wearing open neck styles will help balance you out.
Trench coats
Trench coats are very figure flattering on taller women. The cinched waist and long style of the coat balance out your height and make you appear shorter.
Pencil skirts
Pencil skirts are a most excellent piece to flatter your tall physique. They're timeless, simple and classic and show off your sexy long legs. You can wear them with a tucked in shirt to help emphasis your waist.
Long tanks and tunics
Perfect for long torsos. Use these styles to your advantage as you can find them in regular stores and they will actually be long enough for you!
Great for pairing with tunics, sweater dresses or any longer style shirt. While they do look great when paired with the right top, they aren't pants. Make sure your butt is covered when choosing to wear them in your outfit!
Yoga Pants
Every girl needs great lounge wear, and yoga pants are comfy and look especially flattering on long legs. Just make sure you buy them long enough!
Flats work great for taller women because they don't need the added definition of heels. Plus they work great to downplay height.

Man asked for 50c before fatal stabbing, court hears
"ALL of this for 50 cents" is what one witness heard Mark Hemmings say as he was being attacked with a pole minutes before he was allegedly stabbed to death, a jury has been told.
Mr Hemmings, 49, was stabbed to death while walking home from Caboolture bar Trader Dukes with his partner in December 2012.
It is alleged the man who killed him, Jamie Lloyd Murray, asked him for 50 cents before they started arguing and Mr Hemmings was attacked with a bike seat attached to a pole and later stabbed.
On the first day of his murder trial at Brisbane Supreme Court the jury was told Mr Murray had pleaded guilty to manslaughter but not guilty to murder.
Prosecutor David Meredith said this meant Mr Murray had admitted to unlawfully killing to Mr Hemmings and that it would be up to the jury to decide whether he intended to kill the man.
In his opening Mr Meredith said Mr Hemmings and his partner were walking home after at about 8.40pm on December 17 2012 when Mr Murray, who was riding his bike, allegedly approached them.
The men argued and Mr Hemmings was allegedly hit with the bike pole. Mr Murray then allegedly went to his house nearby, grabbed a knife and confronted the couple again near Bluebell Park, the jury heard.
It is alleged Mr Murray hit Mr Hemmings again with the bike pole before stabbing him in the chest.
Mr Meredith said the weapon was never found and that when questioned by police later, Mr Murray admitted he didn't mean to stab Mr Hemmings in the chest.
Mr Murray also said at the time he had been racially abused, the court heard.
Mr Murray's defence barrister Stephen Courtney said his client had accepted criminal responsibility and he asked the jury to consider evidence carefully, especially Mr Murray's demeanour in a recorded police interview which will be played during the trial.
The trial is expected to continue for about nine more days.

Hosted by
The Getty Research Institute
Organized by
The International Consortium on Art History and the Chaire de Recherche du Canada en histoire de l'art de l'Université de Montréal
Call for Applications
From Art History Doctoral Students
Studying in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
Art history is rapidly being reconceptualized to meet new social, political, and aesthetic demands. Essential contributions to this efflorescence will come from junior scholars in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, whose research questions, methods, and objects of study may be informed by the intellectual, linguistic, and political context of their practice. This first Summer Research Academy seeks 8 doctoral students from those regions to research and dialogue with 8 junior and 8 senior scholars from the International Consortium on Art History.
The theme for the 2012 Summer Research Academy is Encounters. We seek submissions that address artistic and art historical encounters, such as the staging of encounters, the work of art as a product of encounters, and the reception of artworks resulting from encounters. The topic will be explored using library resources and special collections at the Getty Research Institute, as well as collections at the Getty Museum.

Sometimes, all it takes is the first few minutes of the movie to know if you're to witness a masterpiece unfold or not. Take for instance The Godfather that opens with Brando's Corleone in his tastefully lit cabin didactically talking about the virtue of friendship to a man who's come to him for justice , overseeing his daughter's wedding celebrations happening beneath. These first few minutes flesh out Vito Corleone from the pages of the boundscript-making it a bible for aficionados for time to come -giving us thus a memorable protagonist- from who's shoulder we continue to watch the story.
Nagraj Manjule's Sairat achieves exactly this, as the opening credits roll out to the running commentary of a local cricket tournament in the backdrop. We start sensing the spirit of the village even before the screen comes alive-as to how it sounds- with rustic jibes and roars from percussions inundating the palpable tension of the local team's run chase; which seems to be an uphill cause with its captain(hero) gone amiss.
Cut to the chase, we're shown the captain scurrying surreptitiously through the fields behind a speeding vehicle, that gets into a palatial house, islanded by the fields. From the vehicle gets down the "object of his desire"(devotion rather), whose face is not visible to him and us yet. He ekes out his tenure in his greed to see "her" face from the peripheries of her house, as his teammate comes to remind him of the match.
He's in no hurry to save his team or play the sport, the whole village seems to be musing on with frenzied excitement. He's blinded in his preoccupation- his own stardust laden sport.
He eventually does come to the ground and tramples over the bowling team. But he sleepwalks through his innings with his mind racing elsewhere. Afterall, this was not trophy he had set his eye on.
Bhitargaon is an parochial place with naive residents, who are not so naive about the caste system that regulates them. The lower caste constitutes a distant demography that the upper caste would solicitously provide for; without letting to partake.
Archana is the village top gun's daughter, well endowed and from the upper caste. She's even got a sprawling bungalow named after her. While Parshya is a fisherman's son, with a hut to reside in and very modest fortunes;nurturing a not so modest dream.
He's this moth attracted to the light- his love and destination-entirely oblivious to the detrimental effect the unison beholds. Sairat chronicles the lightmoth's wild journey towards light and the light's pursuit towards the lightmoth.
Love story of a rich girl and a poor boy set in the backdrop of a caste ridden village- not the most refreshing of plots one might think; for this is one lake that everyone has drunk from since the conjuring of celluloid romance in Indian context.But Sairat despite being constituted out of the same raw materials is a creature of its own.
Take for instance the sequence that Parshya ambushes the common well that Archie and her friends seem to having a gala time in. His jump into the well is the culmination point of the invigorating "Yad Lagla" song. In a state of trance, he walks through the village; circumventing in his head around her like a ardent devotee around his idol.
Wet he comes out, drenched in fulfillment. As he passes by her; she feels the first butterfly flap in her belly; their first unspoken conversation.The palpable tension and the resultant glance they exchange for the first time as he leaves the well is stuff that poetry is made of.
The film breaks ground in terms of the gender stereotype. The girl is the man in the relation. She serenades around the village in her enfield, when she isn't intimidating the hoi polloi from the driver seat of her tractor. But its not just at a surface level, that she happens to be the male ego to the relation. She's forthcoming to compensate for his lack of chivalry. She chides him when he makes fun of his friend's disability. She takes the big decisions for the two of them, when he's caught between being indecisive and incapable. She even saves his ass a couple of times.
All these little traits go on to lend a beautiful dimension to her character-that of dignity-which we don't often come across in movies these days, without even going near the feminist bugle once.
The guy is more than content being the working bee. He quickly adjusts to a given ecosystem and domesticates to it like second nature.He mops the floor without an iota of contemplation. He sets up the kitchen and lightens up at the sight of grocery. He's the possessive end of the relation-saddled in his own fear and insecurities- its in him that we get the disputes between the two.
The movie makes its field notes from the other end of the "happily ever after" part of love stories. So what happens when the goddess descends from her abode and chooses the modest life of her seeker to be hers, to only make him feel less disparate. Would he treat her with the reverence that made her come to him or would he mortify her to slay his inner demons?
Given the slum settings and the lurking sex offenders, any lesser movie would've been tempted to resort to "pain porn" to shock and shake, like having a sub-plot involving a graphic rape sequence or a blood spattering murder shown in painful detail, but what we get here are consequential conflicts, inner mostly.
The movie's latter half is a fly on the wall account of this and more. The they both go through extended periods of taciturn. The wildness in their love has fizzled out, teaching them to hate each other as much. Hatred brings about indifference and indifference breeds in it insecurity.She's tempted to regret and he's left with fears that look bigger than the last time.
It's through this phase that the movie sets itself apart in a league of its own. Their travel through this patch resiliently and the sweet redemption that ensues told through bullish montages, got me smiling widely; even if only for a short while.
The movie does end sadistically like every other cult movie before it, with irony wielding its serrated edges, literally and figuratively. Its almost like there's an unwritten blueprint for love stories to turn cults. First establish external conflicts; followed by internal conflicts and appoint fate to have the last laugh. Its a bad habit to paint a canvas this beautiful with an endearing tale of romance, to only tear it apart in the end.Ek Dujhe Ke liye started this and Sairat toes this path like a faithful disciple.
I let out a sigh of relief as the movie began to play with subtitles, for it was a marathi movie and I barely knew the language. On my way back home I realised as an afterthought that-after an hour into the movie- the bottom of the screen playing the subtitles had gone off my viewing perimeter subconsciously. It was not like I understood the language any better,just the fact that the movie spoke to in a language I knew-that of cinema; to which I doff my hat.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Science fiction superfan Forrest Ackerman, founder of the influential U.S. magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland, has died at 92, a friend says.
Ackerman influenced a generation of monster movie and fantasy fiction fans, helping to popularize the genre and turn it into a full-fledged cultural phenomenon in the 1960s, the Los Angeles Times reported.
John Sasser, a friend who is making a documentary on Ackerman, told the newspaper he died Thursday of heart failure at his Los Angeles home.
Ackerman was a writer, editor and literary agent credited with coining the term "sci-fi" in the 1950s, the newspaper said. Famous Monsters of Filmland, launched in 1958, was a photo-laden magazine that glorified past and present horror movies.
"It was the first movie-monster magazine," Tony Timpone, editor of another horror-movie magazine, Fangoria, told the Times in 2002. Timpone said he began reading Famous Monsters as a young boy in the early 1970s and remembered it as "a black-and-white magazine with cheap paper but great painted (color) covers. It really turned people on to the magic of horror movies."

CUPERTINO, Calif. - Apple shares plunged 11 per cent shortly after the opening bell after the company predicted its sales would grow just seven per cent in the current quarter.
The projection is a let-down for a company that has regularly posted growth rates of more than 50 per cent.
Apple stock was down $57.27 to $456.73 on the Nasdaq in early trading today.
The Nasdaq fell 20 points to 3,133 — Apple is the biggest component of the technology-heavy index.
Apple's blockbuster revenue growth is slowing drastically, as iPhone sales plateau and the company finds itself lacking revolutionary new products.
The company's warning was issued Wednesday as part of its financial results for the holiday quarter.
Analysts said the warning suggested Apple can no longer sustain its growth without some completely new products.
Its last revolutionary creation, the iPad, was launched in 2010. Co-founder Steve Jobs, who was the engine behind the creation of the iPod, iPhone and iPad, died in 2011.
Apple said it expects sales of between $41 billion and $43 billion in the current quarter, which ends in March.
That would usually be little cause for concern, even though analysts were expecting $45.6 billion, because Apple usually lowballs its forecasts. But Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said the company is changing its practices and providing a reasonable range rather than a single, easily achievable number.
That means Apple is looking at sales growth of about seven per cent from last year's January to March quarter, a striking number for a company that's posted double-digit increases in every quarter except one since 2008.
Apple's enviable profit growth also hit a wall in the October to December quarter. It said net income in the fiscal first quarter was $13.1 billion, or $13.81 per share, flat with a year ago. That still beat expectations, as analysts polled by FactSet had forecast earnings of $13.48 per share.
Revenue was $54.5 billion, up 18 per cent from a year ago. Analysts were expecting $55 billion. Sales were held back by the fact that the latest quarter had 13 weeks, one less than the corresponding 2011 quarter.
Apple shipped 47.8 million iPhones in the quarter, about 1 million less than analysts were expecting, and 22.9 million iPads, also about 1 million short.
Most surprisingly, Mac sales were also 1 million short, at 4.1 million. That's a 22 per cent drop from shipments a year ago. Oppenheimer said this was because Apple couldn't get the new iMac desktops out before December.
Most technology companies would be ecstatic if they posted 18 per cent sales growth and $13 billion in profit for a single quarter, but Apple is held to a high standard, set by the shocking, iPhone-propelled success of the last few years.
Investors have already been concerned that Apple's strategy of keeping the price of the iPhone high means it's losing out on sales, particularly overseas. Consumers are instead opting to buy cheaper smartphones running Google Inc.'s Android software, which has propelled South Korea's Samsung Electronics to the world's largest maker of smartphones.
There's speculation that the company will produce a cheaper iPhone, but that would cut into its profit margin, which are the whole reason it's become the world's most valuable company.
Apple had warned that the holiday quarter's profits would be lower than Wall Street was initially expecting, because it had so many new products coming out, including the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini. New production lines are more expensive to run and yield more defective products that need to be redone or thrown out rather than sold.

Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. (Cookie sheets need to be heavy to prevent bottoms of cookies from scorching. Use one sheet on top of another, if necessary.)
Onto sheet of waxed paper, sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt.
Place melted butter in large bowl. Over butter, sift Vanilla-Scented Confectioners Sugar; mix in with wooden spoon. The mixture will have small lumps of confectioners sugar. Blend in vanilla extract and walnuts. Stir in half of sifted flour mixture and all the chocolate chips. Stir in half of the remaining flour mixture, then the rest. Dough will be malleable.
For each cookie, roll scant 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Place balls about 2 inches apart on lined cookie sheets, 12 to 16 balls per sheet.
Bake in 350°F oven for 13 to 15 minutes or until set; tops will crack slightly here and there. Let cookies stand on sheets 1 minute. Using offset metal spatula, carefully remove cookies to cooling racks. Let cool 5 to 8 minutes.
Sift together confectioners sugar and cocoa into large bowl. While cookies are still warm, dredge them, a few at a time, in sugar-cocoa mixture to coat; transfer to waxed paper to cool. Dredge them lightly again, if you wish. Store airtight at room temperature up to 5 days.
Split open sides of vanilla beans. Pour 1 pound of the confectioners' sugar in large storage container; drop in one split bean. Fill with half the remaining sugar; drop in remaining bean. Add rest of sugar. Cover tightly. Stir after 2 days. Let sit another 2 days before using.

An Architect Built This Stunning, 196-Square-Foot 'Tiny Home' In Idaho• Business Insider
The home she constructed is an impressive example of the burgeoning "tiny house" trend.
Miller spent around $11,500 on the home, which she constructed on the back of a flatbed trailer.
She completely owns her home, which she shares with her partner and dog, and only pays to rent the land it sits on. The most expensive part was the $2,000 compost toilet that uses little to no water.

Ocean acidification can be expected to drive substantial changes in ocean ecosystems during this century, according to a study that assesses the sensitivities of diverse marine animal groups to carbon dioxide concentrations. These findings, published online this week in Nature Climate Change, provide cause for concern about ocean ecosystems and the people dependent upon them.
Ocean acidification is known to affect some marine organisms, but the severity of the threat to ecosystems remains poorly understood. To address this issue, Astrid Wittmann and Hans-O. Portner evaluate the sensitivities of five animal taxa – corals, echinoderms, molluscs, crustaceans and fishes – to a wide range of carbon dioxide concentrations.
The authors found that all of the groups studied were negatively impacted by moderate ocean acidification, albeit in different ways and to different extents. Among the invertebrates, corals, echinoderms and molluscs suffer the most, whereas crustaceans were relatively resistant. Responses of fishes were less clear.The authors conclude that the diversity of responses could lead to profoundly altered ecosystems in the future.

Danger of stoning in Mumbai – Maharashtra bandh
Demonstrators from India's lowest caste blocked roads and railways across Mumbai on Wednesday in protest against violence involving Hindu nationalist groups at an event commemorating a 200-year-old battle.
Members of the Dalit community obstructed roads, damaged buses and marched down railway tracks, delaying train services which are the lifeline of India's bustling financial capital.
Some schools and business opted to close as a precaution while the city's famous lunchbox delivery men, called "Dabbawalas", also cancelled their services.
The protests came in response to violence which broke out at a ceremony in a village near Pune in Maharashtra state on Monday, leaving one man dead.
Dalits had gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the Bhima-Koregaon battle in 1818, in which they helped British colonial forces defeat the high-caste Peshwas.
Dailt leaders accused right-wing Hindus of inciting Monday's clashes, which spread to other areas of Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital.
The state government has ordered a judicial inquiry into the clashes.
Mumbai police said more than 100 demonstrators had been arrested and nine cases of unlawful activity had been registered.
On Wednesday politicians called for a peaceful end to the violence.
"There is an attempt to create a social divide which we have to foil unitedly," said Neelam Gorhe, a leader of the right-wing Hindu party Shiv Sena.

The business plan of any organisation, either small or large needs to consider an effective strategic plan or in other words a very careful and considered long term planning if they want to exist in the long term; however, this is not an easy task and many new entrepreneurs don't even know where to start or the different element to factor in the corporate planning document.
Characteristic of strategic plan
1. An strategic plan should be focus in the long term survival of your business; not only in the short term; ideally you should be structuring your business plan and considering the strategies for the next three years for a newly created business or five years and beyond for an already established organisation.
2. Every single area or the business should be considered; although business development with marketing strategies is probably the most overlooked area; this is not only the one that efforts should be placed on; logistics, finance, and the most important part: a motivated staff is part of a successful business.
3. The main point of corporate or strategic plan is to provide a vision of where the company wants to be; it gives clear indications and a direction to the whole organisation; integrating and complimenting each one of the activities in order to create a more effective business.
4. Marketing and innovation, the importance of money for long-term survival, profitability and considering all the needs from the different stakeholders (owners, staff, local community, customers) is an important and key aspect of a corporate plan.
5. Considering how other business in the same sector perform, the different strategies they are taken and evaluation the current environment will give you a competitive advantage over your closer competition but without forgetting about the newcomers which probably are ambitious, business savvy and hungry for business success.
6. Your forecast and the analysis of actual vs. budget should probably (if available) consider the relative growth of your business in comparison to similar business; this will give you a clear indication of failing strategies taken for your company or simply, changes in the current environment – new technology, different customer's patterns; they should be considered and actions taken if proven to be ineffective; or in the contrary; if the business is growing too fast, this might be an indication of overtrading.
7. Training of staff should be part of your strategic plan; as well as looking for ways to keep them motivated; many corporations have closed their doors thanks to a sudden departure of key staff; it is important to note that although money is probably the main and most important consideration to retain your staff; this is not the only factor why a person decides to leave or stay; other non-monetary reasons are more important such as flexible working; a nice and friendly environment; a manager open-door policy to discuss issues affecting their performance or simply to discuss ideas that will help the business.
8. Establishing good network connections should not be overlooked; especially for smaller companies: word of mouth marketing has been proven successful for the development of many small businesses.

1 New signings
It is rare for a group of signings to slip seamlessly into a club but Rafael Benítez achieved as much last summer. Peter Crouch, Mohamed Sissoko, Boudewijn Zenden and José Reina have all suffered minor blips in personal form but their impact on the side has been beneficial: Crouch's presence has unsettled opponents, Sissoko's energy has liberated Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard, Reina has conceded in only five Premiership matches and Zenden, now injured, provided industry and experience.
"They all gave us something extra, particularly away from home," said Benítez. "They have either experience or are suited to life in the Premiership." Add to that the recent rebirth of Harry Kewell and the invention of Alonso and Luis García and Benítez has worked wonders. Should Fernando Morientes live up to his reputation the jigsaw might be complete.
2 Tactics
At Valencia Benítez created a side capable of ripping opponents to shreds on the break, their system based on wingers in Rufete and Vicente who tormented, a rugged centre-forward in John Carew, creativity in Pablo Aimar and a miserly defence marshalled by the goalkeeper Santiago Cañizares and the centre-half Roberto Ayala. That set-up is mirrored at Anfield, though Benítez's Liverpool are also capable of offering a more "British-style" aggression.
Sissoko's energy opens space in which Alonso orchestrates, with any combination of Kewell, John Arne Riise, García and Gerrard providing width. Gerrard would prefer to operate inside but has revelled on the right. Defenders who struggled to cope with the manager's zonal marking system - not least at Old Trafford, where Mikaël Silvestre scored twice from set plays - have learnt to adapt. "I would have changed that system if it hadn't worked," said Benítez.
The Spaniard received a letter from Sir Alex Ferguson after the Champions League final complimenting him on his tactics. "He had an idea of how he wanted us to play and where he wanted us positioned, but it just took a long time for us to learn it," said Stephen Warnock.
3 Learning from his mistakes
Liverpool were humbled 11 times on their Premiership travels last season but mistakes made a year ago have been eradicated. Only Fulham, with a 2-0 win in October, have improved upon their corresponding result from last season; six sides whom Liverpool failed to beat last season have been overcome this time around to leave the Anfield club 20 points better off to date.
Benítez rarely brings up specific failings from last year's performances but he scrutinises those ineffective displays, together with videos of his opponents, around the clock. "He tries to locate weaknesses in their play," said Warnock. "He knows them inside out, every position, so we know what we're going at every time we go out there. Every team has a weakness. A lot of the improvement has been down to the manager learning more about our opponents in the Premiership than he did last year."
4 Dressing room
Every club has its cliques but there is a feel-good factor about Liverpool these days which appears to have eased any tension within the set-up. The manager's English is improving, as is that of his signings from Spain. Antonio Núñez and Josemi, who were struggling to adapt, have since been sold back to La Liga, with the resolution of Gerrard's future and, arguably, Jamie Carragher's contractual reward last summer adding to the sense of harmony.
"We've got the best blend of youth, experience and quality the club's seen in a while," said Gerrard. "We have a gang of very hungry players. Everyone wants medals. When you've got that desire in a dressing room, and when the punters in the stands and the people in the boardroom match it, then you've got a winning mixture. I look around the dressing room pre-kick-off now and you can see the will to win in people's eyes."

video games and social-emotional learning
social-emotional learning (SEL) skills
the intersection of teacher education, learning technologies and game-based learning. He thinks educators shouldn't ignore video games if they want students to be media-literate, because they are the "storytelling medium of the 21st century."
gaming can help build other SEL skills, such as empathy.
Video games are good for teaching kids problem-solving and ethical decision-making
Some experts have expressed concern about how video games affect children. According to the Washington Post, the World Health Organization has recognized "gaming disorder"—characterized as a lasting addiction to video games—as a condition. Yet, not all experts agree that "game addiction" should be pathologized.

Many people find the beep of an alarm clock to be a very unpleasant way to wake up. One alternative is to use lights to wake you up. For instance, a "sunrise alarm clock" gradually increases the brightness of a light near your bed at the set time. This helps some people to wake up more gently.
In this project, I am going to show you how to make a simple light alarm circuit from an outlet timer and a handful of basic electrical components. So get out your soldering iron and let's get started.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)
Here in the Gospel of John, Jesus is speaking to His disciples on the night before He was to be crucified. He uses the analogy of a vine and its branches to describe the relationship between He and His followers. A vine is isn't there for decoration. The purpose of a vine is to bear fruit. The same is true for us. We're created to grow, to bear fruit, to become the unique masterpiece God created us to be and to accomplish everything He has for us.
Unfortunately many believers are trying to seek life-giving resources from vines that cannot fulfill. Jesus is the one true vine and we are the branches. The only way we can bear fruit is to abide or remain in Him. When we seek sustenance and support from financial gains, success, relationships, power, or popularity we are selling ourselves short – and Jesus said they will yield us nothing.
We are all works in progress. We aren't who we once were but we aren't who we are to become. We aren't where we used to be but we haven't yet arrived. Yet in the process of development and growth, Jesus promises that when we are abiding in Him we will bear much fruit.
Prayer: Jesus, You are the vine and I find my sustenance and hope in You. Help me to lay down those vines in my life that are temporary and not able to sustain and show me how to abide solely in You. Amen.

This means that I need to start planning and getting ready for open house. As I was beginning to plan for open house I had an idea. It is beyond hot in AZ and I want my parents to get comfortable as they walk in. I thought about having treats and some water for the parents and children to enjoy while they watch the BTS presentation, check out our classroom, and speak with me. I then thought how perfect it would be to welcome the families with special water! Take a look at my idea below:
Once I got started with these I got on a roll and thought of some other labels that would be great for the classroom! I'm already picturing the "smart water bottles" on student desks during testing days!
I put all my designs together in this resource:
All of these labels are editable so that you can choose your wordings. They also come in color and black and white so that you can print them on some nice Astrobrights! I will be adding to these so if you purchase, make sure to check for updates. You will get all the new labels that have been added for free even if the price goes up!
Want to try one for Meet the Teacher Night or Open House? You can use this editable freebie below:
I hope these make your Meet the Teacher Night a little extra special for your little ones :-)
