I'm about to be a mom in a few days, that is, if my baby will cooperate and make her grand entrance on Aug 4, 2011. If not then I might have to go through some test that I assume will be painful or uncomfortable in the least. So, hopefully our little princess will be punctual unlike mommy who is always in the last 2 minutes before the start of every event.
But before I was preparing to be a mom, I have always been a daughter. A very spoiled one at that. I'm the youngest girl in the family, and was the center of my mom's world. She was everything to me. She made feel like being loved is the most natural thing that every daughter deserves to feel. Her world stopped just to make sure mine was on the right track. No sacrifice was too big, I never had to suffer anything other than the petty things that kids has to go through during childhood. I felt invincible just because she was my mom, and she loved me so and I knew that when she is around, I will always be loved by her and no other person can harm me, lest they want to see the wrath of a mom protecting her child. She was everything to me, my dad, my super mom, my confidant, my head cheer leader, my best friend and my best enemy too. We had a love/hate relationship that would be so up and down it felt like a roller coaster ride at times. But regardless of how much we fought, our love was also as fierce. I dont think i can ever love any other person the same way. Maybe I can love as passionately, but not the SAME way I have loved my mother.
I also had a younger brother, and he and our mom had a different relationship. They became playmates. They would go to the zoo together, go to parks and have picnics. They did the things even my mom and I didn't get to do. Maybe because while I growing up, our business wasn't that established yet so my mom had to spend more time in the store working. Even though we saw different versions of our mom, I love my brother very, very much. When he was growing up, I took on the role of the disciplinarian, and my mom was the spoiler. So whenever my brother was being troublesome, my mom would call me to scare the heck out of him. I was the big, bad sister not to be messed with. Period.
And then one day, my world turned upside down. My mom was caught in a very bad situation. She was robbed and she got hurt. Very severely hurt that she didn't survive. And it was the worse day of my life coz my mom is the strongest person I knew and all of a sudden she wasn't there. I was so lost I didn't want to move or feel anything. I wanted to be with her. I wanted to hurt every single person who hurt her, including myself for not being with her. I was in such excruciating pain all the time and I tormented myself even more by living every single moment I spent away from her. Every meal I missed, every night I spent out, every argument we had. The pain was so deep, I thought I would never resurface.
But whenever I would see my brother, I would pick myself up, act mature and strong to make sure he wouldn't wallow in the misery I wished to stay in forever because of my grief. So he became my rock. My reason to get up in the morning, my reason to live. The same way I was the reason my mom wanted to live after she and my dad got separated. I had to learn to live so he can live too. I had to adjust my treatment of him, instead of being the unapproachable, strict "achi" or sister, I had to be the sister who he can talk to when he needed me. I had to learn to me a mom/sister to him. And 2 months after our mom passed, he told me how much he misses our mom, and we both shared our pain and grief…
While in grief, I would pray in church, and keep on asking God to please, please give her back to me. Like a child praying hard for something really wished for, I would promise to do anything, sacrifice anything… just let me sleep and wake up from this nightmare and everything would be a very bad memory. But every time I woke up, I would still be in the same bad dream. In the world where I didn't have my mom with me to love me, and care for me. If pain, tears and heartaches could kill, I surely have already died a million deaths.
I had to make a choice for our future. To continue the family business here, or go abroad with our other siblings. I chose to stay here, and be responsible for the the stores in Divisoria my mom left. It was hard work, but I knew that I was more lucky than others who get left behind by their parents. And I'm lucky who had siblings who gave me room to grow. They let me do things the way I thought best with little interference and a lot of support.
To survive, I had to deceive myself that my mom is just on an extended vacation and I would have to be in charge while she's away and I have to make her proud. It's been 4 years… I sometimes still ask her in my prayers "Mom, I've been good, please come back now…I'm still waiting… " or I would pray to God "God, please, please I beg you, please lend her to me, even just for 1 day, or in my dreams… please…." and sometimes I would see her in my dreams just like I prayed for…
I grew up the day our mom passed. I was 25. It felt like I turned 40 the day after. And up to this day, I would always ask my mom, "Am I doing this the right way?" Whenever my brother would be winning contests in school, or getting good grades or awards, I would feel like my mom and I raised him right. But whenever he would be so stubborn or lazy or irresponsible, I would still ask my mom "Mommy, how could you have handled me, my being maldita?, coz this is so hard! What should I do?!?" Thankfully my shoti is a good kid, he listens and understands. He makes me so proud, he makes our mom proud. He's very unlike me growing up, gosh I was a handful. He's thoughtful and considerate. Of course he falls flat on his face at times, he frustrates me so much I want to pull my hair. But he's learning, and I pray to God and Mom that I'm on the right track… Coz I'm really trying to make my mom proud so that I can see my mom happy again the day God decides that I've been through enough and would lend me my mom in my dreams again.
It doesn't matter how long, I would still wait…

Give our facebook page a like or follow us on twitter for more One Mic Sessions and there will be more of The Misss in the not to distant future.
Check out The Misss 1000,fans page here
The Misss came down to play some acoustic songs for our latest One Mic Session.
Audrey and Michelle graced us with their presence and chatted plectrums positions, Jay Z and spandex pants.
How those three topics could make a coherent conversation we will never know.
We caught up with Michelle to tell us more about The Misss and talk about their album which will be out early next year.
How did The Misss come to be?
The Misss came about when we were playing in a soul band together a very long time ago.
Audrey let me hear something shed written which completely blew me away, especially because she was so young at the time and we spoke about trying to do something together.
We started by doing the usual acoustic covers I still get a fearful chill down my spine when I hear blackbird but when we wrote our first song together, it felt right.
Tell us a bit about your songwriting process?
We dont particularly have a set process for writing.
Some have been composed from scratch in a room together with input on the music and melodies from both of us, others have been brought to the table almost complete.
Audrey is what I would jokingly call an actual musician as she can play many instruments and could do this on her own but all of our songs are collaborative.
I can have a whole song idea and Audrey is the only person that understands what I mean when I try to express it.
Most of the time Audrey leaves a section for me to finish or work on together.
We know each other so well that we can write for each other when it comes to the vocals too.
I think were a good pairing in that way.
Whats the one album you couldnt live without?
If you told me I couldnt ever hear Frank by Amy Winehouse again, Id be devastated.
There are artists Ive listened to more often or that have more songs I love in their repertoire but as one complete album Thats the one for me.
What influences The Misss?
We have shared influences.
Some are quite typical of singer/songwriters some not.
Jeff Buckley, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, but also Cinematic Orchestra, Irrepressibles, Beyoncé, Bloc Party, Air.
Where we differ is that I like 60s/70s soul, big ballads, musicals, country and a lot of cheesy pop.
Audreys music taste is quite cool
What does the future hold for The Misss?
Next up we will be releasing our new album early next year.
We have the main bulk of it complete but the songs just keep coming out of us so we will keep recording until we can choose the songs that work best together.
The last year has been very exciting but also a big challenge so we want the culmination of that to be something we are proud of.
Audreys recording and producing the whole thing too so once its complete and were happy, well do a launch and a wee tour, even if its just to get Audrey some daylight

The Philadelphia Union officially announced that they have cut ties with Adu by mutual consent, allowing him to sign with Serie A club Bahia, where he had been widely reported to be signing for the last couple of weeks. Adu arrived in Brazil last week to acclimate himself with the surroundings and take a physical prior to the official completion of the deal.
The Union have taken on 33-year-old Brazil international midfielder Kleberson on loan in conjunction with the move and have signed him as a Designated Player, putting the freedom of Adu's lofty wages to quick use. Terms of the loan were not disclosed.
Adu, 23, scored seven goals and had two assists in 35 games (26 starts) for the Union across the 2011 and 2012 seasons, but he fell out of favor with the club during an offseason contract dispute, spending the last few months orchestrating a move elsewhere.
His next destination is Bahia, a top-flight side that will become his seventh team since leaving MLS for the first time in 2007. Adu transferred from Real Salt Lake to Benfica and was subsequently loaned to Monaco, Belenenses, Aris and Caykur Rizespor before returning to MLS following a resurgence in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
In return, the Union welcome Kleberson, who has been capped 32 times for Brazil and was part of the nation's 2002 World Cup-winning side, starting in the final against Germany. Prior to Bahia, Kleberson had played for Atletico Paranense, Manchester United, Besiktas and Flamengo.
"We're excited to have a player with his kind of experience join an already talented roster," Union manager John Hackworth said in a team statement. "Kléberson has had success at the world's highest level of competition – both on a club and international level – and we hope he can add another dimension to our team."

Any time you upgrade or migrate a Web site or application, you should also review the site's code, tools, and architecture. The overhaul gives you an opportunity to improve the site or application's functionality, performance, and maintenance. At my consulting company, our developers got together recently to update the entire Web site, and although we undertook the project for business reasons, the upgrade gave us a chance to make technology changes as well. The changes included installing a new interface to make the site easier to navigate, refreshing the graphics, and adding new informational pages to reflect changes in our business. We upgraded technical parts of the site by taking such steps as changing the interface on data access pages and adding new query pages. Note that when we started to redesign our site, the first thing we did was to follow good backup practices by copying the entire site to a new Web development site. Then we worked on the copy. The original site saved the day a couple of times when we inadvertently overwrote code.
First, we looked at the Web site application code to decide what we should retain and replace. We also looked at code that we could move into Include files as script functions. We used Microsoft Visual InterDev to develop the site, so vestiges of early Visual InterDev-generated code remained. For example, many pages that accessed SQL Server retained code similar to the code that Listing 1 shows. The 11 lines of ADO access code in Listing 1 work well, but they repeat on page after page. We standardized our access in a library named database.asp. However, we hadn't examined the entire site and changed all the database access code to the new format. (If it isn't broken, don't fix it—right?) So, as the developers upgraded the site, they streamlined all data access by adding the following line for the Include file library:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="../Scripts/ Database.asp"-->
Then, they replaced the 11 lines of code in Listing 1 with the line
set rsCourse = RunWithRS(curSQL)
Of course, every time we encountered the rsCourse variable, we changed it to the proper variable name for the current recordset. The curSQL variable contains the SQL statement. The RunWithRS() function from the Include file performs the ADO magic, as Web Listing 1 shows.
By making these simple code changes, we eliminated nine lines of code for every data access in the Active Server Pages (ASP) scripts. If an ASP file used more than one database access, we eliminated 10 lines of code for each additional database access. The benefits you gain by replacing code in this manner are twofold. First, when you reduce all database access to one set of routines, you can more easily update database access functionality. Second, the smaller volume of code reduces the pages' complexity and makes the pages easier to maintain. Because the database access code is hidden in functions, you don't have to be an ASP or ADO guru to work with it. Instead of replacing code, you can move the data access code to a middle-tier Visual Basic (VB) object. At my company, we don't take this approach because our Web site runs on a server at an ISP that doesn't support COM components.
After we brought our code up-to-date, we evaluated the tools available to us. Visual InterDev, which we had used almost exclusively since we set up our Web site, was our choice for all server-side scripting, database, and debugging work. To this point, we had also relied on Visual InterDev for our HTML and layout work. We decided to use Microsoft FrontPage 2000 for part of the project because of its ease of use with HTML and layout work in general, and because it works well with Visual InterDev. FrontPage 2000 performed much better with ASP script in pages than earlier FrontPage versions, which changed ASP script, thereby breaking applications. But during my testing, FrontPage 2000 didn't alter my script, as earlier versions did. For example, FrontPage 98 and earlier often changed characters such as & to special HTML character sequences. When ASP processed the page, the code wouldn't run.
Maintenance of any site or application is a costly undertaking. As part of our upgrade planning, we looked at features of ASP, Microsoft IIS, FrontPage, and Visual InterDev that would facilitate site maintenance. Let's review a couple of timesaving features we discovered in FrontPage 2000 as we redeveloped our site. FrontPage 2000 incorporates a site-management feature that lets you break up your site into several different subwebs that share common script libraries and images. (A subweb is another name for a virtual directory under the parent Web site.) You can turn the individual folders for the site's subsections into subwebs by right-clicking the folder and selecting Convert to Web. Next, click the Folders icon in the left menu bar to open the Folder list, then double-click the subweb name.
After you've divided your site into subwebs, you can implement FrontPage 2000's shared borders feature to consolidate the site's common parts. The shared borders feature lets you assign each subweb a designated border area that the subweb can share across multiple pages. For example, if you add a top shared border to a subweb, FrontPage 2000 copies the top border into each page's body section. This copy or insert process happens during design time, not runtime, so no Include file or extension problems can crop up when the site is running. To engage the shared border feature, go to the Folder List window, choose the Format Menu, then select Shared Borders. Clicking Shared Borders displays the Shared Borders dialog box that Web Figure 1 (available online) shows. Just select the borders you need, and click OK.
Using shared borders saved us many days of work on our site during our upgrade because they reduced the amount of HTML code we worked with and eliminated the use of an Include file for borders. We use Top, Left, and Bottom borders on each page of the site except the login pages. The Top border contains the standard page header and menus. The Left border contains a small spacer graphic to add white space. The Bottom border contains the copyright information for the site. A subweb stores the border files in the _borders folder. Because all the subweb borders are in the _borders folder, you need to manage only one set of borders for that subweb. You can copy shared borders between subwebs. For example, all our subwebs use the same Bottom and Left borders. When we had formatted these borders correctly, we copied them to each subweb's _borders folder. FrontPage 2000 detected the change and updated the pages.
The HTML that Listing 2 shows generates a sample shared border from our site. In the last table row, notice the ASP variable <%=spagetitle%>, which lets you display a standard title for each page. You can drive this variable from SQL Server by setting the variable before the <body> tag to a value that you retrieve from SQL Server by using ADO. When the page displays, SQL Server sets the variable.
So far, we've seen that code and tools are important elements to review when you maneuver your site through an upgrade or redesign. But don't forget the reader's browser. It's an important architectural consideration, so we researched the browsers our site visitors were using. When we learned that very few people had used Netscape to access our site in the previous year, we decided to rebuild the site for the browser that the vast majority of our visitors used, Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0. We made that decision because we planned to include Dynamic HTML (DHTML), and implementing this document format in both IE and Netscape would have required a time-consuming testing and repair process that would add 80 percent to the cost of the site. The DHTML features we wanted included the background support for our new drop-down menus.
Sweep Out the Cobwebs
Modifying the layout and structure on our site was always a planned part of the upgrade. But a technology update became a priority too. Changing each page's database so that it uses common database functions made the site much easier to maintain. Moving to shared borders also simplified maintenance. Our new structure will let us upgrade the site one piece at a time in the future and will make a total rewrite go more smoothly.

Switzer's Licorice
Switzer's Licorice disappeared in the mid-1990s but was relaunched by original family members in 2005 using the same formula as in the past.
Switzer's Licorice History
Frederick Switzer started making licorice in 1888. He would proudly push carts of his candy along the riverfront in St. Louis in an area now called Laclede's Landing. When Switzer's became the nation's leading brand of licorice, he developed his first fruit-flavored licorice which was cherry. It quickly became Switzer's best seller.
Switzer's Licorice Memories
My grandmother was from Europe but had moved to California to help raise my brother and I. She never learned to drive and would walk to the store and back to buy groceries. When she came through the door, my brother and I would run and ask if she had licorice. She was not very friendly but at these times, if she had the extra money, she would smile and pull out the Switzer?s. We would each get to pull off one of the strips and savor the wonderful chewy licorice. ~Noelle from California

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — About 40 Catholic pilgrims who traveled to Brazil for Pope Francis' recent visit never left, hoping to stay permanently with political asylum.
The U.N. High Commission for Refugees in Brasilia said Thursday that the asylum seekers who came to Rio de Janeiro for World Youth Day say they suffer from persecution in home countries including Pakistan, Congo and Sierra Leone.
At least a dozen pilgrims say they are persecuted as Christians. The rest say they face political persecution or are fleeing conflicts.
If was unclear how long Brazil's Justice Ministry will take to weigh the asylum applications. The U.N. agency says it will help the applicants.
In the meantime, the pilgrims are being cared for by the church and the families who sheltered them during World Youth Day.

"A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it". This quote by George Moore introduces the new Moleskine collection for Indigo Books & Music, the Canadian bookstore chain.
Three limited edition collections - cahiers, large notebooks and A4 notebooks - have been created for Indigo.
The cahiers, available in different sizes, feature a special color palette from warm grey to coffee. Each cahier has a different literary quote.
A vintage map of the Region below the North Pole, designed by Dutch cartographer William Blaeu in1645, is the cover pattern of a large notebooks collection. The set of three different colours provides vast space for exploration.
"Vidi, scripsi, memoravi" (Latin for "see, write, remember"): the seal of learning appears on the A4 notebooks collection, available in three different colours.
Travelling, exploring, learning. The limited editions can be found at Indigo stores, starting from late August/early September.

I have just worked through exercise 248, and I understand all of it apart from one word on line 7 - einai (with a circumflex on the first iota; please forgive the lack of greek alphabet...I don't have an appropriate font installed).
Having looked at previous posts on this forum, I've established that it means 'was also', but I don't quite follow how. Is '-ai' a suffix that can be attached to any verb to imply 'also'?
I'd appreciate any knowledge anyone has of this!

The Island Garden
Your yard may be looking a bit jaded at this time of year, as leaves begin to turn brown and plants wilt as temperatures drop. You can rejuvenate your yard until frost by adding some chrysanthemums, dead-heading dahlias and other flower heads, working over your lawn, raking the mulch over and cleaning out weeds.
Walk around your garden now and make a note of trees and shrubs that are overgrown and will need pruning. Take a look at your trees and see where the shade falls and what can be done to help plants that are shaded. Make notes now so that when winter arrives you'll be able to see where to prune and trim. In another couple of months, winter will be here, and you will be able to see the bones of the garden, making it easy to get organized for next season, but unless you note problem areas now, you'll be lost during winter.
In your flower garden
Order and plant your spring bulbs for next season. Daffodils, crocus, hyacinth and fritillaries can all be planted and mulched. If you have a problem with animals digging the bulbs, put chicken wire over the bed and cover it with mulch. Deadhead and weed as needed. But stop fertilizing right around now to give plant growth time to harden off. Label your dahlias now while you can still see the flowers to be sure that you have correctly identified tubers for next year.
Indoor plants
While your indoor plants are outdoors, knock them out of the pots to check which are root bound and in need of repotting. Check all your indoor plants and repot as necessary. Remember that when you bring your plants inside they will have a growth spurt as the indoor heat hits them. Make your first spraying of insecticide (dormant oil for organic gardeners) to get rid of unwanted pests before bringing the plants indoors. You'll need to spray them again in two to three weeks, then bring the plants inside.
Your lawn
Hit the lawn with a fall fertilizer to help grass roots to grow while the ground is still warm. The grass may not grow as fast at this time of year, but by strengthening the roots you'll have a better lawn next year. Try to rake leaves off the lawn while it is still growing to help the grass stay strong. If you have any bare patches, you can seed them during the fall. My experience is that fewer weeds grow in the fall, which gives better grass. Jamestown Hardware has a variety of grass seeds. If you pick up a pound or two you can sprinkle seeds on bare patches and rake them in at any time.
In your vegetable garden
Harvest pumpkins and squash before raccoons and other animals attack them. Make sure you have cleaned out dead corn stalks and other debris from growing beds. Harvest potatoes and onions if you haven't already done so. Anything you leave in the ground will start to grow again next year.
If you've grown onions let them dry for a few weeks before storing. Yellow onions store well, but Ailsa Craig and other giant onions should be used fairly soon after harvesting. (Hint: onion soup uses a lot of onions, as does stuffed onions and onion and olive pie.) We have about six weeks until first frost so that should be enough time to get some lettuce, spinach, and parsley if you start your seeds right now. If you leave the spinach and parsley in the ground it will grow again next spring and you can harvest it just before it goes to seed. Buy your garlic and prepare the garlic bed now. In two or three weeks you should have your garlic ready to go into the ground. In six weeks or so you should mulch the garlic with ground leaves, untreated grass or straw for the winter. Pot up chives, thyme, parsley, and other herbs to bring indoors for the winter.
Fruit trees
If you have kept up a conscientious spraying program your apples and pears should be harvestable right now. Try to pick your fruit and store before wasps and bugs get into it.
Check the bark on your fruit trees to ensure it is not being chewed by animals. You might want to buy some plastic bark protectors to stop deer from chewing the bark on trees. If they chew around the trunk, called girdling, they can kill the tree.
Soft fruit.
Not much you can do with raspberries, blackberries, black currants and red currants right now, but grapes are coming strongly, and you will need to keep an eye open to pick them at exactly the right moment.
Stop pruning privet, forsythia, and boxwood hedges around now to give the plant time to harden off new growth before frost comes. You can prune your holly now, but why not wait until just before Christmas when you can use the prunings around the home.
In the greenhouse
Heated greenhouses should be cleaned by wiping down with a solution of bleach and water. I like to set up an isolation area for new plants coming into the greenhouse, but you may not have space to do so. For smaller plants, you can use a 20-gallon aquarium tank, but put it in the shade. For unheated greenhouses, start lettuce, Chinese greens, spinach, kale, carrots, and broccoli now. The idea is to get the greens as large as possible before the weak sun halts growth.
Water gardens
Plan what you are going to do with any fish and plants you might have in your outdoor pond. Smaller fish often will not last the winter outdoors. If you set up an indoor aquarium, make sure it is large enough for your fish and plants and that the water is of the same ph as the pond water. If you have a large pond, larger fish will survive when the water freezes, but beware of smashing a hole in the ice to get air to your fish. The impact may kill your fish.

Leslie Patrick ("L. P." or "Pat") McGovern, 82, of Williamstown, West Virginia, passed away April 19, 2013 at his home. Born June 12, 1930, in Canton, Ohio, he was the son of Leo Leslie and Amy P. (Blanford) McGovern.
As a young man, Leslie attended Miami University and studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art but then enrolled at Kent State University and graduated, cum laude, with a double biology/psychology major. For several years he worked as an insurance adjuster. A lifelong learner, he earned a Master's degree in Psychology from University of Akron in 1968 and a Ph.D. from Kent State University in 1973. Teaching courses in Abnormal Psychology and Theories of Psychotherapy at State University of New York, College at Buffalo, during the years of 1972-1978, heightened his interest in clinical psychology. As a result, he pursued post-doctoral training at Pennsylvania State University and the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Cincinnati. As a licensed clinical psychologist, he held supervisory and administrative positions in Clark, Clinton, and Fairfield Counties of Ohio and retired in 1997 from a private psychotherapy practice in Newark, Ohio. He and his wife moved to Williamstown in December of 2000 after living briefly in Georgia.
A reader of wide and deep interests, he was a regular participant in the Today's Issues group of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta, and his letters-to-the-editor frequently appeared in the local newspapers. Throughout his life, he enjoyed sports and music.
Leslie is survived by his wife of 37 years, Martha (Webb) McGovern; his daughters, Deborah McGovern of Florida and Leslie McGovern of Texas and their mother Joan (Bennett) Fadely of Texas; his brother, Robert McGovern of Ohio; seven grandchildren: Connor Maxwell and Kathleen Maxwell of Florida, Michelle Randall, Kristine McCool, and Sarah McCool of Texas, Sean McGovern and Kevin McGovern of Texas; five great-grandchildren; nephew Michael McGovern, and niece Meghan (Dave) Kondik. He was preceded in death by his son, Lee Bennett McGovern.
A memorial service for family and friends will be held at The First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta on Wednesday, May 1, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. The church is located at the corner of Third Street and Putnam Street.
Donations in his memory may be made to Strecker Cancer Center (401 Matthew Street, Marietta, OH 45750) or the Williamstown Food Pantry (c/o Karen Fenton, 129 East 5th Street, Williamstown, WV 26187).

The LP3962/LP3965 series of fast ultra low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +2.5V
to +7.0V input supply. Wide range of preset output voltage options are available. These ultra low
dropout linear regulators respond very fast to step changes in load which makes them suitable for
low voltage microprocessor applications. The LP3962/LP3965 are developed on a CMOS process which
allows low quiescent current operation independent of output load current. This CMOS process also
allows the LP3962/LP3965 to operate under extremely low dropout conditions.
Dropout Voltage: Ultra low dropout voltage; typically
38mV at 150mA load current and 380mV at 1.5A load current.
Ground Pin Current: Typically 5mA at 1.5A load
Shutdown Mode: Typically 15µA quiescent current when the
shutdown pin is pulled low.
Error Flag:

Updated: Key GOP senator won't vote to repeal education tax credit
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
Updated: House votes to repeal new scholarship program
CONCORD - One of two Republican state senators to vote against repealing a controversial education tax credit said Thursday she won't join a Democratic repeal bid in the closely-divided state Senate.
The decision by state Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, tipped the balance back toward Republicans who want the education credit to remain in effect.
Lawmakers last year enacted a law that allows businesses to take a tax credit for donations to a program that provides scholarships for private schools and homeschooling.
"When this bill came through last time, I voted against it every time it came to my attention," Stiles told the committee. "I did not support this bill."
Continued opposition from Stiles,and from Sen Bob Odell, R-Lempster, who also opposed the measure last year, would have been enough for Democrats to win on repeal by a single vote.
Republicans hold 13 Senate seats to 11 for the Democrats.
"I don't think a legislative body in New Hampshire should be a body that passes legislation one year, the next year repeals it, then the next year brings some of it back," Stiles said. "That's not the type of Legislature New Hampshire should be."
Instead, Stiles pleaded for giving the law a chance to work, noting that so far, only one group has been approved to make scholarship awards.
"You should not vote to overturn those laws until we have the data that tells us we've waited a sufficient time," Stiles said. "For that reason, I am opposed (to repeal)."
Supporters of rolling back the legislation attacked what they claimed was a diversion of tax dollars away from funding public education.
The program passed last year allows a tax credit on business taxes for 85 percent of the money donated for scholarships.
Critics argued that it is essentially a voucher program, funded through the state's loss of business tax money that is diverted to private school scholarships.
Rep Mary Gile, D-Nashua, who sponsored the repeal measure, says she filed it for a couple of basic reasons.
"New Hampshire has no money," Gile said. "It is poor fiscal policy. As an educator, it is poor educational policy."
But supporters of the tax credit measure say it's the only way that struggling families can afford to make choices about public education that are routine to the more well off.
Kate Baker of Manchester, who heads the first -- and so far the only -- scholarship program established to take advantage of the program, suggested to the committee that the applicant pool is itself evidence of the need for the program.
Baker said her program already has 270 applicants for scholarships.
"Of these 270 applications I have received, the average family income is less than $45,000 and the average family is five people," Baker said. "The median household income in New Hampshire is $65,000, these families are falling $20,000 under the median."
Baker urged the panel to keep what she termed a promise to those families, which have applied for scholarships believing that it represents an opportunity to make choices about where their children go to school.
Repeal advocates argued that giving tax credits means private scholarships supported with public dollars.
"Tax credits are tax dollars taken straight out of appropriations to use the public dollars to finance private education," said Rep. Mary Gorman, D-Nashua. "Public education is not a consumer commodity."
Dianne Bzik, who described herself as a taxpayer from Bedford, said many of her fellow residents don't understand that the tax credits are being taken from public education to support religious-affiliated schools.
"There is a big sucking sound that comes out of state educational funding." she said. "There is no verification that those children are being educated properly."
A number of people with children in tow sat for long periods waiting for a chance to be heard on the bill, to press their case that the bill means low income families will get a choice of where their children go to school.
Dominique Vazquez-Vanasse of New Hampton, who brought her two young children to the capital, said her family canceled car insurance to afford their private school tuition.
"They will not be able to attend this school they love" if the scholarship program is repealed and they no longer have school choice, she said. "We have managed with great difficulty and a lot of sacrifice."

The connections between Brennan Boesch and the Angels might be a bit vague, but they run much deeper than just growing up 40 miles away in Santa Monica.
In a roundabout way, Boesch, who played at Harvard-Westlake and was recalled by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake City on Wednesday to replace the injured Kole Calhoun, has the Halos to thank for his major-league debut four years ago.
Boesch was a prospect in the Detroit's minor-league system at the time and the Tigers were in Anaheim playing the Angels when Carlos Guillen strained his hamstring rounding third base.
The injury led to Boesch's promotion to the big leagues, his debut coming the following day in Texas.
Not long after, Boesch hit his first big-league home run — against the Angels.
"Off Joel Piñeiro. A Grand Slam." Boesch said, before smiling. "I don't remember it at all."
He was joking of course.
And now he's hoping to hit home runs for the Angels, not against them.
With Calhoun likely shelved for the next month or so after suffering a nasty ankle sprain Tuesday against the A's, the Angels turned to Boesch to fill the spot. He wasn't in the starting lineup as the Angels wrapped up their three-game series with Oakland, but manager Mike Scioscia insists Boesch will get a fair chance to play.
"He'll get his at-bats," Scioscia said.
At this point, that's all Boesch wants — a fair shot.
After playing a combined 380 games for the Tigers between 2010-2012 — reaching double figures in home runs all three years and averaging 58 RBIs per year — Boesch was released by the Tigers last year in spring training then spent an injury-riddled four months with the New York Yankees before being released in July.
He signed with the Angels over the winter but was a late cut in spring training. A strong showing over the last week in Triple-A convinced the Angels he deserved the chance to replace Calhoun.
"He was certainly a guy who was in the mix in spring, and really what it came down to was the needs of the team and not something he didn't do to be put in a position to be sent down," Scioscia said. "He had a good spring for us, and in the last week he's really been swinging the bat well. We'll see where he fits in."
Depth tested
Scioscia spoke all spring of the Angels being better equipped to deal with the battle of attrition of an 162-game schedule, citing the difficult cuts he had to make to get down to the 25-man roster.
Less than a month into the season, the depth Scioscia touted is already being tested big time.
Outfielders Josh Hamilton and Calhoun have both landed on the disabled list, forcing the Angels to dip down to Triple-A for reinforcements sooner than they hoped.
The good news is there are capable players to chose from, a four-year veteran like Boesch the prime example.
"We're deeper in that area and we're deeper on the pitching side to be able to look at some adjustments," Scioscia said. "When you look at the guys that were in our camp and the guys that didn't make the team … I could go through a whole litany of guys that are capable of playing in the major leagues that didn't make our club."
Smith takes blame
Give reliever Joe Smith credit for standing at his locker and taking on all questions after his rough outing against the A's on Tuesday in which he coughed up a one-run lead in the eighth inning.
Smith not only took all the blame for giving up the lead — and ultimately the 10-9 loss to the A's in 11 innings — but he also shouldered the burden of Calhoun's injury by insisting had he done his job the game would not have gone to extra innings and thus Calhoun would not have been in position to get hurt in the 11th inning.
It was an admirable gesture by Smith, who signed with the Angels over the winter for three years and $15.5 million.
But Scioscia urged Smith to take it easy on himself.
"Joe's maybe being a little too hard on himself," Scioscia said. "It's going to happen to everybody, where you have that one outing where you (struggle) and last night was Joe's. He takes a lot of pride in what he needs to do for this club. We haven't gotten it done the last two nights but these guys in the bullpen want the ball at the end and want to go out and help us win."

However, rule utilitarianism proposes a more central role for rules that was thought to rescue the theory from some of its more devastating criticisms, particularly problems to do with justice and promise keeping. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, articles were published both for and against the new form of utilitarianism, and through this debate the theory we now call rule utilitarianism was created. In an introduction to an anthology of these articles, the editor was able to say: "The development of this theory was a dialectical process of formulation, criticism, reply and reformulation; the record of this process well illustrates the co-operative development of a philosophical theory."
Miranda 100 suede and patent sandals Jimmy Choo London lLzpCzjD
Smart [46] and McCloskey [47] initially used the terms 'extreme' and 'restricted' utilitarianism but eventually everyone settled on the terms 'act' and 'rule' utilitarianism.
The essential difference is in what determines whether or not an action is the right action. Act utilitarianism maintains that an action is right if it maximizes utility; rule utilitarianism maintains that an action is right if it conforms to a rule that maximizes utility.
In 1956, Urmson published an influential article [48] arguing that Mill justified rules on utilitarian principles. From then on, articles have debated this interpretation of Mill. In all probability, it was not a distinction that Mill was particularly trying to make and so the evidence in his writing is inevitably mixed. A collection of Mill's writing published in 1977 includes a letter in which he says: [49]
I agree with you that the right way of testing actions by their consequences, is to test them by the natural consequences of the particular action, and not by those which would follow if everyone did the same. But, for the most part, the consideration of what would happen if everyone did the same, is the only means we have of discovering the tendency of the act in the particular case.
This seems to tip the balance in favour of saying that Mill is best classified as an act utilitarian.
Some school level textbooks and at least one UK examination board [50] make a further distinction between strong and weak rule utilitarianism. However, it is not clear that this distinction is made in the academic literature.
It has been argued that rule utilitarianism collapses into act utilitarianism, because for any given rule, in the case where breaking the rule produces more utility, the rule can be refined by the addition of a sub-rule that handles cases like the exception.
Diane Von Furstenberg Woman Printed Calf Hair Pumps Animal Print Size 8 Diane Von F vD62X
This process holds for all cases of exceptions, and so the "rules" have as many "sub-rules" as there are exceptional cases, which, in the end, makes an agent seek out whatever outcome produces the maximum utility. [52]

Zero stars (out of four)
If "Juno" knocked up "Life As We Know It" and totally neglected the baby, that child could still write a better movie than "L!fe Happens." By the age of six.
As Kim, co-writer Krysten Ritter ("Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23") not only lies to a guy (Geoff Stults) by claiming that her baby actually belongs to her roommate Deena (Kate Bosworth) but complains about the exhausting challenge of maintaining the lie. Kim's not someone who believes in effort and accountability anyway; her pregnancy results from a night in which Deena snags the last condom in the house ("Friends" episode, anyone?), and throughout "L!Fe Happens" Kim treats her son Max as a giant inconvenience that hinders her dating life and slows her goal of opening a doggie mall.
"L!Fe Happens" has the gall to present Deena's obnoxious, party girl pal (Fallon Goodson) as a fan of The National and Bon Iver (rather than, uh, Katy Perry and Ke$ha), not to mention the use of "douche-nozzle," "sleaze-weasel" and "eye-gasm" in the first five minutes or so. Perhaps it shouldn't have been surprising that the movie, which not only offers no insight on relationships but seems completely unfamiliar with normal human behavior, later features Lauren Conrad as herself and a paragon of intelligence and success.
Rachel Bilson flashes dimwitted perkiness and a revolving door of revealing outfits as the girls' third roommate, a virgin who only takes jobs requiring her to wear skimpy clothing and park cars/act as a human sushi platter/etc. She's lucky to mostly avoid a scene in which Kim and Deena comment on their friend's life as if it were their own (remember that "Friends" episode?) and when Kim hires a 12-year-old neighbor to watch her kid so she can go on a date. Earlier, she only brings Max to a yoga class so she can get in shape for her date.
Everyone can understand the challenge of wanting everything out of life and struggling to keep a lot of plates spinning. With "L!Fe Happens," every principle of romance and comedy comes crashing to the ground.

Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) - The Hawaii state Senate has passed a bill that seeks to protect celebrities from overeager paparazzi.
The so-called Steven Tyler Act would create a civil violation if people take unwanted photos or videos of others in their private moments.
The rock star from Massachusetts asked Sen. Kalani English to sponsor the legislation after unwanted photos were taken of him last December in Maui.
Twenty-three of the state's 25 Senate members voted in favor of the bill, which now goes to the House for consideration.
Sen. Sam Slom, the body's only Republican, opposed the bill. He says the state already has adequate privacy laws and that the state Legislature has been the butt of jokes across the country for its support of the bill.
Sen. Les Ihara also voted against the measure.

Jemima Hodkinson looks at Jenner, vaccines and Blossom the cow
In the library of St George's, University of London, a large brown and white cowhide is proudly displayed inside a glass case. The hide belonged to Blossom – a rare-breed Gloucester cow who played an important part in the history of medicine.
Blossom's hide was donated to St George's by the family of Edward Jenner, the family doctor who developed

a s amethod of protecting people from deadly diseases.
Jenner was born in 1749 in a village in Gloucestershire, where his father worked as the local vicar. He started his medical training at the age of 14 when he became the apprentice of a local surgeon, then moved to London to complete his education at St George's. In 1772, he returned to his home town to work as a country doctor.
Throughout Jenner's life, epidemics of smallpox – nicknamed 'the speckled monster' – were common in Europe. The disease is caused by the variola

, which can spread through close contact with an infected person or object. Abouttwo weeks after the virus infects a person a high fever takes hold, followed by a rash, which appears in the mouth before spreading across the whole body over the course of a day.
Over the next few weeks, the rash develops into pus-filled sores which crust over and form scabs. When the scabs fall off, they leave deep scars behind. An infected person is contagious from the day the rash appears until the last scab falls off, which is usually about three weeks. During the 18th and 19th centuries as many as 98 per cent of children who caught the disease died from it; those who survived suffered from disfiguring scars, and up to a third became blind.
Although there was no way of treating smallpox once the infection had taken hold, 18th-century doctors did attempt to protect individuals from infection. The most common method they used was called variolation. This involved taking material from a fresh human smallpox sore and inserting it under the skin of an uninfected person. The hope was that the person would go on to develop a less serious form of smallpox disease, then once fully recovered would have lasting immunity.
However, many people treated this way developed serious, life-threatening smallpox infections that could then be easily passed on to other people. The crude method of variolation also carried a risk of transferring other blood-borne infections such as syphilis. Although many doctors were concerned about these risks, by the mid-18th century thousands of children were variolated each year – including an eight-year-old Edward Jenner. Luckily, he survived the procedure.

|Efficacy and Safety of TAK-875 Compared to Glimepiride When Used With Metformin in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes
|Official Title ICMJE
|A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TAK-875 25 mg and 50 mg Compared to Glimepiride When Used in Combination With Metformin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes
|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-875, once daily (QD), plus metformin compared to glimepiride plus metformin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-875, once daily (QD), plus metformin compared to glimepiride plus metformin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
|Detailed Description
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has increased dramatically throughout the world over the past decades despite the availability of several different treatment options. Current pharmacologic treatments include insulin, thiazolidinediones, sulfonylureas, metformin, dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) mimetics. A number of these treatments are associated with clinically important side effects such as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), weight gainflud retention, exaggeration of pre-existent heart failure, and gastrointestinal side effects. These side effects and the disadvantages associated with many of the currently available antidiabetic agents can reduce compliance and limit their long-term use.
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the body to regulate blood sugar (glucose). In individuals with T2DM, the insulin produced by the body does not effectively control the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. If not properly managed, T2DM may cause elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and ultimately result in serious health problems.
In response to this problem, Takeda is developing TAK-875 (an investigational drug) as an addition to diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in patients with T2DM. TAK-875 may affect the production of insulin and may improve how the body uses the sugar in the blood.
The aim of this study is to find out if TAK-875, when taken for approximately 2 years in combination with current diabetes medicine (called metformin), is safe and effective at helping people with T2DM control their high blood sugar when compared to glimepiride (a type of medication called a sulfonylurea). The study is being done to find out if the combination of TAK-875 plus metformin works as well as the combination of glimepiride plus metformin.
Approximately 2430 patients worldwide aged 18 or over with T2DM, will take part in this study and will be involved in the study for up to 110 or 120 weeks.
TAK-875 is being developed at Takeda Global Research and Development, Inc. as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in participants with T2DM.
This study will investigate TAK-875 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose blood sugar level is inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy.
Due to potential concerns about liver safety, on balance, the benefits of treating patients with fasiglifam (TAK-875) do not outweigh the potential risks.
For this reason, Takeda has decided voluntarily to terminate the development activities for fasiglifam.

$1 from every cup of iced coffee sold on May 22 to benefit Roswell Park Cancer Institute
Dunkin' Donuts is inviting Buffalo-area residents to get ready for summer with the return of "Iced Coffee Day." On Wednesday, May 22, $1 from every cup of iced coffee sold at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants throughout the greater Buffalo area will directly benefit Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
"Dunkin' Donuts is thrilled to celebrate the return of Iced Coffee Day to the greater Buffalo area," said Dunkin' Donuts Field Marketing Manager Alisa LaPlante. "We could not think of a better way to welcome the warmer temperatures than a cool, refreshing Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee. I encourage residents of Buffalo to join us on Iced Coffee Day to support Roswell Park Cancer Institute. I am confident our loyal guests will be excited to raise funds for an organization that is so vital to our community."
Located in downtown Buffalo, the mission of RPCI is to understand, prevent and cure cancer. RPCI was one of the first cancer centers in the country to be named a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and remains the only facility with this designation in upstate New York.
Dunkin' Donuts has been at the forefront in developing an innovative process for brewing iced coffee, which has set the standard for the industry. The unique process, called double brewing, uses twice the amount of coffee when making the beverage to achieve consistent flavor and freshness that are never compromised at the expense of serving it cold. The result is a smooth iced coffee that is never bitter or watered down.

Financial crisis will crown winner of Cyprus' presidential election
NICOSIA, Cyprus – Cypriots vote Sunday for a new president to guide them through a severe economic crisis as their country becomes the latest financially troubled European nation seeking international rescue money.
For the first time in 40 years, the crisis has eclipsed efforts to reunify the ethnically divided country as the predominant pre-election issue. A shrinking economy, nearly 15 percent unemployment and salary cuts and tax increases demanded under a preliminary bailout deal with eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund have cracked a veneer of prosperity partly built on Cyprus' outsize banking sector.
The financial woes have been compared to the economic catastrophe that befell the country in 1974, when a Turkish invasion following a coup by supporters of uniting the island with Greece split the country into a breakaway Turkish-speaking north and an internationally recognized Greek-speaking south.
Sunday's vote will take place only in the southern part of the country, which is the part needing a bailout.
The winner will succeed deeply unpopular communist-rooted Dimitris Christofias, who is honoring a pledge not to seek a second five-year term if his negotiations with breakaway Turkish Cypriots to reunify the country failed.
Opinion polls show Nicos Anastasiades, the 66-year-old head of the right-wing main opposition Democratic Rally (DISY) party, as the frontrunner.
Seen by some as a polarizing figure, Anastasiades has never enjoyed mass appeal, and his critics have made much of his support for a 2004 U.N.-backed reunification plan that Greek Cypriots rejected. But he has masterfully tapped into public discontent with the outgoing government's handling of the economy as well as events that led to a massive explosion of seized Iranian munitions in 2011 that killed 13 people and wrecked the country's main power station.
He has a reputation for a hot temper. His nickname, 'tasakias' or 'ashtray,' was born from rumors he turned one into a projectile during a row at a party meeting. He denied the incident ever took place, but the nickname stuck.
Polls show him well ahead of main opponents Stavros Malas, 45, a former health minister in Christofias' government who is backed by communist-rooted AKEL party, and independent Giorgos Lillikas, 52, a former foreign minister under the late President Tassos Papadopoulos.
If no one gets more than half of the votes, the top two candidates go to a runoff a week later, a scenario polls suggest is likely.
The victor will jump into the bailout fray immediately. Euro-area leaders are expected to decide on rescue package for Cyprus in the latter half of March and the country is fast running out of money to pay its bills. The new president will have to convince skeptical eurozone partners — especially bailout-weary Germany — that Cyprus is a credible partner that deserves help and isn't a tax haven where Russian oligarchs park their dodgy money.
"Cyprus has no option but to sign a bailout agreement," says University of Nicosia political science professor Hubert Faustmann. "Bankruptcy is not an alternative."
On the surface, a bailout appears straightforward. Cyprus, which represents a mere 0.15 percent to the eurozone economy, needs up to €17 billion ($22.84 billion) to shore up its economy and save its banks, crushed under the weight of their toxic Greek debt holdings. That's a fraction of the amount in the bailouts of Ireland, Portugal and Greece. But the sum is equivalent to the entire economy of Cyprus, raising concerns that it may not be able to repay the loans.
With Cyprus' fate in the hands of other euro area countries, campaigning has focused more on the candidates' leadership mettle rather than fleshing out complicated economic issues.
Anastasiades has close ties to European leaders on whose goodwill the country is counting, an image encapsulated in his ubiquitous slogan, "The Crisis Needs a Leader." The idea has gained traction among Cypriots, most of whom favor a bailout.
Last month, Anastasiades burnished his credentials with an endorsement from German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a meeting of European center-right parties. If he wins, he would enjoy the advantage of having the backing of parliament where DISY and its ally, center-right DIKO, hold a slim majority.
"I ask from you a strong, clear mandate in order to immediately get to work covering lost ground, restoring our homeland's credibility and safeguarding our national interests within Europe's decision-making centers," Anastasiades told a campaign rally in the capital Nicosia this week.
Malas is a relative political newcomer who has carefully avoided being cast as heir to Christofias, who recently claimed that Cyprus was being persecuted by other eurozone countries. Instead, Malas has positioned himself as a candidate unburdened by a political past, and pledged to try to soften bailout terms to protect salaried workers. Even so, his support from AKEL with its perceived legacy of poor governance is seen as his main liability.
The overarching theme of businessman Lillikas' populist-driven campaign has been his pledge to immediately sell rights to a portion of Cyprus' new-found offshore natural gas deposits to pay the country's way out of the crisis and rid the country of bailout-mandated austerity measures within a year.
Lillikas has been dogged by the accusation of being an ambitious opportunist who climbed the political ladder on the back of parties he no longer supports and of being an ideological flip-flopper, swinging from a left-wing dove to rightist hardliner. Opinion polls, however, show he would fare better against Anastasiades in a runoff than Malas would.
Some 545,000 registered voters are eligible to cast their ballots for a total of 11 candidates.

RainSoft water treatment provides safe, clean water right to your tap, but in the event of a disaster you may not have access to RainSoft treated water.Ready.gov has recommendations on how much water you should store in case of a disaster.
Store at least one gallon of water per person per day. A normally active person needs at least one gallon of water daily just for drinking however individual needs vary, depending on age, physical condition, activity, diet and climate.
To determine your water needs, take the following into account:
- One gallon of water per person per day, for drinking and sanitation.
- Children, nursing mothers and sick people may need more water.
- A medical emergency might require additional water.
- If you live in a warm weather climate more water may be necessary. In very hot temperatures, water needs can double.
- Keep at least a three-day supply of water per person.

Alcohol played a part in the death of a college student from Pearl River who fell from an apartment balcony on Saturday while attending a fraternity party, according to the Binghamton Police.
Conor Donnelly, an 18-year-old freshman at Binghamton University, was attending a house party hosted by Alpha Sigma Phi at 92 Front St., when he fell around 2 p.m. while attempting to climb to a third-floor balcony from a fourth-floor balcony, said Capt. J. D. Collins.
Donnelly was transported to Wilson Hospital and shortly afterward pronounced dead. His death has been ruled accidental. Autopsy findings support that Donnelly had been drinking and it is believed the amount of alcohol he had consumed was a contributing factor, Collins said.
The 2016 graduate of Nanuet Senior High School was in the process of pledging to the fraternity. The party was attended by numerous students and there is no evidence that Donnelly's death was the result of hazing, Collins added.
"It is always difficult to lose someone, but it is especially difficult to lose a young member of our campus community so suddenly," Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger said in the statement.
Binghamton University is providing counseling for students affected by Donnelly's death.
The incident is still being investigated and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Binghamton Police Detective Bureau at 607-772-7080.

The Millennium Falcon is changing course.
Now that "Star Wars" has a new studio home, a new movie in the works and a new director, other adjustments are in store for the franchise: Lucasfilm is postponing this fall's scheduled 3-D re-release of "Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of The Clones" and "Episode III — Revenge of the Sith."
"Given the recent development that we are moving forward with a new 'Star Wars' trilogy we will now focus 100% of our efforts on 'Star Wars: Episode VII' in order to ensure the best possible experience for our fans," Lucasfilm said in a statement. "We will post further information about our 3D release plans at a later date."
The changed plans don't come as a huge surprise — last year's 3-D re-release of "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace" grossed only $43 million, demonstrating that audiences had little appetite to see the films in the format.
PHOTOS: 'Star Wars' at the box office
And Disney, Lucasfilm's new studio, has been backing away from its own 3-D re-release strategy after its animated films "Finding Nemo" and "Beauty and the Beast" underperformed.
After years of nostalgia, the focus at "Star Wars" now seems to be squarely on the future — on Friday, Disney and Lucasfilm confirmed that J.J. Abrams will direct the next movie in the franchise.
"I've consistently been impressed with J.J. as a filmmaker and storyteller," George Lucas said in a statement. "He's an ideal choice to direct the new 'Star Wars' film and the legacy couldn't be in better hands."

Outcasts (US - BD RA)
Jonathan checks out the sci-fi BBC series starring Liam Cunningham..
After Earth is hit by catastrophe, humans become refugees on their own planet, a place now fraught with extreme danger… until a group of courageous pioneers were given a unique opportunity: the chance to create a new and better future on a distant planet called Carpathia. The city they built, Forthaven, is now the only refuge for those able to escape a doomed Earth. President Tate, his core team of Stella, Cass and Felur, and the expeditionaries Mitchell and Jack, have faced personal tragedy and conflict to develop the now thriving city. But as the last transporter from Earth approaches – with Tate's rival Julius Berger and Stella's daughter among the passengers – the fragile peace that was forged is about to be rocked to its core. With loyalties tested and secrets uncovered, Carpathia's humans struggle to cope with the planet's volatile whiteouts, mysterious life forms and the presence of a hostile exiled group. Under such tensions, can they really avoid making the mistakes of Earth and build a better world on Carpathia? (From the BBC synopsis).
Low-budget sci-fi shows have never exactly been my cup of tea. Aside from Firefly and early seasons of Battlestar Galactica, none have really grabbed my interest and kept it. Upon finishing the first episode of Outcasts, I was almost sure it would follow suit. Lucky for me, the show grows much more interesting and compelling as it goes along. This is mostly because the characters and story take the foreground. The world of Carpathia is believable thanks to the complex characters with varying motives that inhabit it. You have your leader in President Tate (played brilliantly by veteran actor Liam Cunningham), who has the colony's best interest in mind but also possesses dark secrets. There's a religious nut whose motive is anything but clear. There are officers who work as Forthaven's security, expeditionaries who explore the surrounding area, and a myserious group of rebels living outside the colony called "the AC's". These organized groups and their relationships to one another create a living, intriguing world. Cass and Felur (played by Daniel Mays and Amy Manson) are two of the show's main characters. They are immensely likable as the audience surrogates, and seem to be the only characters that aren't hiding behind dark secrets.
The show looks great. The CGI isn't very good, as one usually expects in these types of shows, but it is hardly ever used in grand situations and most of the time it's just used to enhance the sky or distant views of the Forthaven colony. The outdoor environments in the show look awesome. Often enhanced by colour filters, they have an appropriately bleak look. Grey skies wash over mountains of impossibly jagged rock formations. The photography in these scenes is one of the show's strongest features. The cold barren landscapes are haunting, and sometimes evoke the work of Andrei Tarkovsky. Interior scenes in Forthaven are less inspired and look more like your usual sci-fi show. There is some obvious borrowing of that J.J. Abrams lens flare which throws itself at you in every frame of his Star Trek film. It's an easy way to give a normal looking set a futuristic sheen, but it does grow tiresome. So does the vignette effect, where the corners of the screen are darkened to create a more picturesque effect and focus on the center of the shot. It draws attention to the edges of the framing and looks out of place in the series. The action scenes are clunky and their editing lacks finesse, but the makers of the show seem to know their strengths and avoid these sequences when they aren't necessary.
"Inconsistent" is the first word that comes to mind when I examine this 1080i/60 (MPEG-4/AVC) video transfer. The show was filmed in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio, but this release is the cropped 1.78:1 version that was broadcasted. Curiously the episode previews and recaps use the original aspect ratio. Early on in the show it's easy to see that there are some synchronization issues between the audio and the video. Occasionally words will not match up with the actor's mouths. It doesn't happen frequently, but when it does it is very distracting. This could very well be a fault of the interlaced video. Aside from audio timing problems, this is a fairly solid video transfer whose shortcomings are mostly the result of the filming techniques used. Some wide angle shots have an especially blurry look to them, and the photographers occasionally use weird, slightly fish-eyed lenses that distort the image and sacrifice some level of detail. Colours are less saturated than normal, so none of them really pop out, but this is entirely a stylistic choice. Many scenes have a blue and yellow colour palette. There's a good amount of digital noise visible in darker scenes. It gives the image a filmic quality that is never distracting on its own, but often does not merge well with the clean CGI effects used. On the plus side, there are no major compression artefacts. It's a good looking series and the transfer does well by it when the words match up with their mouths.
BBC leaves Outcasts stranded with an uninspired Dolby Digital 2.0 track. At 192kbps, this is a fairly flat audio presentation that does its job and nothing more. The lack of a proper LFE channel disappoints when ships are crashing or explosions are on screen, and I can't recall any distinct stereo effects to split up the sound. Dialogue levels are appropriate and never get too drowned out by other audio or environmental effects, but sharing the sound channels with ambient noises and the soundtrack keeps the voices from sounding as crisp and well-defined as they could be. The music in the show isn't very memorable, but the quality doesn't seem to suffer from the lower bit rate. If you are just using the stock speakers on your HDTV, I'm sure this track will sound fine, but those who have invested in a nice surround sound system may find themselves yearning for more spatial effects in the mix and a boost in overall clarity.
Reach Out to the Stars (30:01, SD) is your typical behind-the-scenes look at the series. Footage from episodes is cut with cast and filmmaker interviews. The actors talk about their characters, and the filmmakers talk about their feelings on the series. They also talk about the wide angle shots and flaring lights that I mentioned in the review. They seem quite proud of the stale effect. Fans will likely find this piece informative and likable, but if the series didn't grab you then this isn't likely to change your mind about any of it.
Forthaven Set Tour (04:57, SD): is a brief segment where a production designer escorts a cameraman around the Forthaven and talks about the buildings. I wasn't crazy about the Forthaven design in the show, so this didn't do much for me.
Outcasts grew on me tremendously after it's sluggish start, but it never quite reaches greatness. Fans of sci-fi miniseries should give it a rent, and at least make it through two episodes before deciding to finish it. The interlaced video transfer on this Blu-ray disc is flawed, and the audio track just gets by without meeting the standards of the format. Extras are scarce and generally unsatisfying, but fans may find something to like in them.
* Note: The below images are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.
