(Trichoglossus rubritorquis)
A Red-collared Lorikeet measures roughly 29 centimetres in length and weighs approximately 130 grams, making it the largest of the Lorikeets. Although Red-collared Lorikeets can be easily spotted, they are often confused with their close relative, the Rainbow Lorikeet. The male Red-collared Lorikeet's colour consists of a light to medium blue head which varies in intensity, a dark bluish to black abdomen, a yellow to light green throat, a breast section varying from orange to bright yellow, and a yellow and light green undercarriage. The female's colours match the male's except for a lighter abdomen section.
The Red-collared Lorikeet can be found between northern and eastern Australia in a region known as The Kimberleys, through the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland to an area just north of the Nicholson and Gregory Rivers. The Red-collared Lorikeet can be found living in adjoin plains of Eucalypts and Melaleuca forests.
Their diet mainly consists of nectar from blossoms of Eucalyptus trees, various fruits and berries, and seed heads of grass trees. At Australia Zoo, our bird keepers feed our Red-collared Lorikeets Lory nectar, fruit blend parrot pellets and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. We also provide flowers for enrichment that produce nectar, like bottlebrush, hibiscus and honey suckle.
The breeding season of Red-collared Lorikeets depends on weather conditions and the availability of food, although most breeding takes place between August and December.

Sun doubles Open Storage high-end performance
Comes out with CPU, cache and capacity upgrades
Sun has pimped up its high-end Storage 7000 product with processor, cache and hard drive upgrades.
At Supercomputer 09, Sun announced that it was supporting 2TB drives in its Storage 7000 products, doubling capacity from 288TB to 576TB. It also added InfiniBand and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) as well as boosting processor performance.
The 7410 product has had its processor performance increased by 30 per cent with an upgrade to four 6-core Opteron processors, having previously had four 4-core Opterons per controller. Its DRAM cache has also been doubled and can now run as high as 256GB per controller, meaning 512GB in total since it is a dual controller system.
Sun says overall 7410 performance has doubled with the processor upgrade, increased memory caching, and 2TB drive support.
The 2TB drives are not immediately available. The 7110, 7210 and 7310 products are unchanged, staying with their 4-core Opteron CPUs.
Separately Reuters reports that Oracle will present its arguments in favour of its merger/acquisition of Sun to the EU at a closed hearing on December 10. The company had previously asked for an extension of the time allocated for it to present its case.
The EU believes the merger could reduce competition in the database market because Oracle will gain MySQL by acquiring Sun. US Senators have written to the EU telling it to speed up its deliberations because it is delaying the acquisition and thus damaging Sun. There is suspicion in some places that Oracle competitor SAP, headquartered in Germany, has been involved in trying to obstruct the acquisition. ®

Win A Facebook Marketing Makeover: New Facebook Contest
To celebrate the release of my newest Facebook marketing book – Facebook Marketing: An Hour A Day, Second Edition – coauthored with Chris Treadaway, I just launched a fun contest on my Facebook fan page! The grand prize is a "Facebook Marketing Makeover" worth $1,000.
Complying with Facebook's Contest Rules
As you may know, Facebook has strict rules around running contests on fan pages. The Promotions Guidelines have changed over the years and have, in fact, become more simplified. The main thing to know is that you must use a third party app when administering any type of promotion (contest, drawing, competition, or sweepstakes) on your fan page. Fortunately, there are several excellent Facebook contest apps to choose from – two of my favorites are Strutta and Wildfire. For a list of other apps plus more on the rules, see my popular guest post here on SocialMediaExaminer.com
How do you know if your promotion needs to abide by Facebook's terms? ANY time you are selecting one or more winners, your promotion falls into the category to which Facebook's rules apply. If, however, you're doing a giveaway such as a free ebook or coupon code and EVERYONE gets one, then that's just fine and you can promote that on your wall or a tab.
My first Facebook Contest – "The Great Facebook Timeline Cover Image Contest!"
I've been active on Facebook for exactly five years now. And, this is my FIRST ever contest – how exciting! Like millions of other business owners out there, I had great ideas for contests over the years but always got stopped at four things: 1) selecting the right app with the right elements, 2) creating the right look and feel and all the brand assets, 3) crafting a compelling contest with a great prize, and 4) ensuring the entry requirements are simple, and easily understood. Plus, as I'm sure you know, it's never a case of "if you build it, they will come." We need to get out there and let people know about the contest!
Facebook contest app, Strutta
I've had a great relationship with the good peeps at Strutta for several years. So, now that I finally decided to launch my first Facebook contest, I teamed up with Strutta and they have provided spectacular customer support and guidance! Each step of the way, in short order, CEO Ben Pickering and his dynamite team worked with my team to create a striking campaign. My team and I have learned a LOT along the way and I'll be publishing a follow up post with results and recommendations for running your own successful Facebook promotion.
Meantime, my first contest is underway now and entry is real simple: users upload a Timeline cover image from their personal profile, but ideally from their fan page. Anyone can vote for their favorite entry. I will be selecting the winner from the top ten entries with the most votes.
The grand prize is a free ticket to my next online training course: Facebook Money Mastery which starts on June 5th plus a personal social media critique – we're calling the combo package a Facebook Marketing Makeover and it's worth $1,000! Three runner up prizes include personalized signed copies of Facebook Marketing: An Hour A Day – Second Edition.
Go submit your entry now – and good luck!
Important notes for entrants:
I needed to add in the following points after the contest was live – it's amazing what happens when you launch something and think it's crystal clear… then things come up that need to be addressed. It's all good though, like I say, I'll be sharing a follow up post with my blog readers on all the do's and dont's on how to create a killer Facebook contest! 😉
- Your cover image *must* comply with Facebook's guidelines: No contact information, no calls to action, and no arrows pointing to Facebook features such as the Like button. If you submit an entry that does not comply with Facebook's terms, we may contact you privately and suggest that you revise your cover image and re-submit. (This one just makes sense; several of my fans brought it up on a wall post so I added this line in. Obviously, I cannot select a winning cover image that clearly breaks Facebook's cover image rules!)
- You *can* submit cover images from your profile and/or fan page. We are looking for cover images that are creative, striking, different, unusual, clever, or bold, and/or that creatively workaround Facebook's terms but still comply.
- If your cover image has been designed to incorporate the profile picture as well, you can take a screenshot of the combined cover image + profile image and then upload that combo image as your entry. (This was another point that a fan brought up. Some cover images have been cleverly designed with a seamless combo image where the cover image by itself doesn't quite make sense, e.g. Fanta's fan page.)
- When selecting an image to enter, the contest app gives you the option to choose a photo from your Facebook album. The way Facebook works is you can only choose from your personal profile photo albums. To select an image you've previously uploaded to your fan page, you'll need to submit by uploading from your computer. (I had to add this one in, because the way the Strutta photo contest is set up by default, users can select photos from their photo albums… BUT that means their personal profile photos load up from which to select images, not their fan page albums. To submit a fan page cover image, users need to upload from their computer.)
NEWSFLASH! My last Facebook marketing webinar back in January was a huge hit with over 15,000 registrants. It's time for an update with all the myriad changes on Facebook in the past four months!

The cold facts, plus the lineup
ALBUQUERQUE — Snowflakes in New Mexico? In April?
That's what the Rockies were greeted by Friday afternoon at Isotopes Park. Granted, they were few and far between, but you could see them. Not only that, the temperature was in the high 40s in the sunshine, with a low of 29 expected later tonight.
Does Jim Tracy cringe at the thought of using his pitchers in such cold weather?
"You know what? Not necessarily," said Tracy. "I think there's a part of me that says it's necessary to expose them to a little bit of this because you know what? It might be 29 on opening day too. Should we cancel the game? It won't happen."
At this point, the Rockies' 25-man roster is set except for the bullpen spot that opened when Huston Street was shut down with shoulder inflammation. The job will go to one of two left-handers, Greg Smith or Joe Beimel.
Smith has had a lights-out spring (2-0, 1.50), but he's a career starter with two relief appearances in his career, both in rookie ball. Beimel, meanwhile, is a veteran reliever who signed 10 days ago and has had two Cactus League appearances.
Tracy said recently that it wasn't feasible to consider Beimel for the opening day roster, but that thinking is ancient history after Beimel's two spotless innings of work. He has thrown 20 pitches, 16 for strikes, and his slider is much crisper than the one he brought to Denver when he was acquired at the 2009 trading deadline.
"He is, there's no question about that," said Tracy, when asked if Beimel has him rethinking things. "I think over the course of the next couple of days, we get an opportunity to see him yet another time. The thing you wrestle with is, have we given him enough (time), and has he had enough to just flow right into being a part of a major league club on opening day."
Tracy on Beimel's slider, which has been timed in the mid-70s after dipping into the high 60s last season: "His breaking ball right now is better than what we saw last year. It's tighter. The rotation of the ball and the break as it enters the hitting area is sharper and crisper than it was last year when we acquired him."
And now, tonight's lineups for the Rox-Mariners:
1. Carlos Gonzalez, RF
2. Dexter Fowler, CF
3. Melvin Mora, 1B
4. Troy Tulowitzki, SS
5. Brad Hawpe, DH
6. Chris Iannetta, C
7. Ryan Spilborghs, LF

RB Jomon Dotson decommits from Colorado Buffaloes, picks Washington
According to various recruiting-based Internet sites, Colorado football's 2014 recruiting class will be without running back Jomon Dotson of American Canyon, Calif.
Dotson (6-foot, 178 pounds) switched his commitment to Washington after having visited the Huskies this past weekend.
Dotson said the decision to flip his commitment was based on the coaching change at Washington. Dotson had been recruited by new Huskies coach Chris Petersen while Petersen was head coach at Boise State.
Dotson apparently was impressed with Petersen but decided at that time that he would rather play at Colorado than at Boise State.

OTTAWA - The battle over the plight of Canada's First Nations escalated Monday amid accusations of a cynical public relations ploy by the Harper government and new demands by a hunger-striking chief.
Chief Theresa Spence, who has been on a liquid diet since Dec. 11, said she now wants elements of the Conservatives' latest omnibus budget bill repealed as soon as MPs return to Ottawa at the end of the month.
Spence had previously been seeking only a meeting between Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Governor General and First Nations leaders to discuss outstanding treaty matters.
"We are asking that the legislation related to (native) lands encoded in Bill C-45 must be rescinded as soon as Parliament resumes," Spence said in a release.
The new demand comes as Ottawa releases a scathing audit of tens of millions of dollars in spending on Spence's Attawapiskat reserve, a troubled community on the shores of James Bay in northern Ontario.
The audit details an absence of basic accounting by the band council and ongoing indifference by federal government departments.
Spence's release called the leaked audit "no more than a distraction of the true issue ... to discredit Chief Spence who is willing to lay down her life for a larger cause."
Her spokesman, Danny Metatawabin, had earlier accused the Harper Conservatives of "trying to undermine the process here, the movement of the people."
The Deloitte audit — released publicly Monday by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development after being leaked to select media outlets on the weekend — catalogues more than $109 million in spending over almost seven years, much of it poorly documented, undocumented, or questionable.
The timing is explosive.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper agreed last Friday to meet with aboriginal leaders on Jan. 11. And while Harper was careful not to link the meeting to Spence's hunger protest, his decision was widely seen as a concession.
The damning audit was similarly interpreted as the Prime Minister's Office pushing back in the war for public opinion.
While the government was required to release the audit by the middle of the month, the way it came to light is questionable, said NDP MP Paul Dewar, who described the report's release as a political choice, not one driven by policy.
"They prefer not to deal with problems; instead, they turn it into one of their political equations," Dewar said.
"It's brass-knuckle politics."
Repeated reports from the federal auditor general have highlighted financial reporting issues for First Nations since at a least 2002.
Carolyn Bennett, the Liberal critic for aboriginal affairs, said if the department was doing its job and became dissatisfied with spending documentation, "then the government can ask for (documentation) before it sends any more money."
The Attawapiskat audit was commissioned by Ottawa in December 2011 after Spence, with winter approaching, declared a state of emergency over concerns about unsafe housing conditions in her remote community of about 1,800 residents.
The Conservatives questioned why the problem existed, given the millions provided to Attawapiskat over the years, and Ottawa briefly imposed an external manager on the band.
The Deloitte audit is the only comprehensive analysis of a band's finances that the government has posted on its website. It is unclear whether other First Nations have ever come under the same level of independent scrutiny, although three smaller reviews were undertaken last year of different bands after allegations of misspending.
Spence was first apprised of the audit's findings last Aug. 28 in a letter in which the Deloitte auditor wrote that "there is no evidence of due diligence in the use of public funds, including funds for housing."
"In our opinion, having over 80 per cent of selected transactions lacking any or proper supporting documentation is inappropriate for any recipient of public funds."
According to Aboriginal Affairs, only 46 of Attawapiskat's 316 housing units are considered adequate, while another 146 need major work and 122 are placement.
The audit is not likely to burnish Spence's credentials as a high-profile native advocate.
Last February she wrote a public letter to the Queen, complaining that the federal government "has taken the position that the First Nation mishandled its funding."
"This is simply not true," Spence asserted.
Among the sample 505 transactions a Deloitte auditor examined from April 2005 through November 2011, fewer than 20 per cent could be fully tracked and documented — and 61 per cent had no documentation at all explaining the reason for payment.
The sample of transactions includes $2.2 million spent on consultants, with two thirds of the 26 payments improperly documented.
"The independent audit ... speaks for itself, and we accept its conclusions and recommendations," said Jan O'Driscoll, a spokesperson for Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan.
Those conclusions include some questions for federal officials as well as band management.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a Crown agency, must conduct a physical inspection of housing units every five years and found "abnormal and accelerated deterioration of housing units" at Attawapiskat. CMHC also found housing management issues in a separate 2010 audit.
None of these findings were reported to Aboriginal Affairs, says the audit, because CMHC only passed along such reports "if CMHC deemed there were significant issues or concerns."
The audit dryly adds that "despite the nature of the findings noted by CMHC," no reports were kicked up the chain to the Aboriginal Affairs department.
The audit also found that only $3.6 million of Attawapiskat's $6.85 million in core capital housing funding was actually spent on house renovations and maintenance, with the rest being used for debt repayments. The practice, it found, is common among First Nations and Aboriginal Affairs is well aware of it.
The audit recommends the federal department no longer allow housing maintenance funds to be used for debt servicing.
That the audit pointed out the federal government also has a responsibility for oversight shouldn't be overlooked, Dewar said.
"At the end of the day, that means political accountability."

(Reuters) - A U.S. Army soldier was killed and seven were injured during a training exercise involving a large gun at Fort Bragg in North Carolina on Friday, officials at the base said.
The 82nd Airborne Division soldiers were participating in an early morning live-fire training exercise with a M777 light, towed howitzer gun when the incident occurred, the Army said in a statement.
It provided no further details on how exactly the mishap occurred.
The Army said two medics provided life-saving care to the wounded at the scene.
The soldiers were transported by ground to the hospital where one of them died and two were listed in serious condition, according to the Army.

Taxback.com is proud to announce our sponsorship of the first ever open water triathlon in Kilkenny on 24 July 2010.
The Taxback.com Kilkenny Triathlon will provide a positive boost for Kilkenny's local economy and sports community with an expected 500 participants for the event.
Taxback.com has an office in Kilkenny and our CEO Terry Clune said he was delighted to be able to sponsor this fantastic new event.
"Kilkenny is a great place and this type of sports event is an ideal showcase for the city," Clune said. "We hope that by creating a successful event we can bring more visitors to the region and make this triathlon a highlight in the country's annual sporting calendar."
Triathlon competitors will swim through the heart of the city along the River Nore, followed by a cycle taking in Bennettsbridge and finish with a run around the grounds of Kilkenny Castle Park. The finish line will be located on the newly refurbished Parade Plaza and the course is designed to maximise viewing opportunities for spectators.
There will be both sprint and Olympic distance events open to individuals and relay teams of all abilities.
Race organiser Lorraine Murphy said the triathlon would be a great opportunity to show off the city's historic beauty and attract thousands of visitors to the event annually.
"Having attended races around the country and abroad for a number of years we realised that Kilkenny's geography, location and historic setting made it ideally suited to an open water triathlon," Murphy said. "We've seen the enormous positive impact triathlon events in Athy and Athlone have had on those towns and we see this as an opportunity to boost the local economy and promote a positive image of the city.
Kilkenny Mayor Malcolm Noonan said the triathlon would be a wonderful event for the city: "It's a good fit with all that we are trying to promote here and it has huge potential for leisure tourism in the city and county. It promotes fitness and healthy lifestyles and I warmly welcome this event to our beautiful city."

Uncompressed 1.5G Local Loops Help Bring U.S. Open, Premier League Football and MTV VMA's to Audiences Worldwide
LOS ANGELES, October 18, 2010 –
Pacific Television Center (PacTV),
a Los Angeles-based independent global transmission and production company, recently upgraded its local loops in New York, London and Los Angeles to 1.5G uncompressed HD. These new HD circuits have already been utilized for high-profile television events including the U.S. Open, Premier League Football and the MTV Video Music Awards.
"We are thrilled to be delivering top-tier sports and music events to both domestic and international television viewers," says Nick Castaneda, New York Branch Manager, Pacific Television Center. "Having this type of connectivity to major local hubs in each of our three facilities (Los Angeles, New York and London) allows us to easily deliver HD globally and provides our clients with a simple solution for transmitting uncompressed HD content in and out of these markets."
Last month, PacTV was on the ball delivering all the exciting U.S. Open action to tennis fans as far as New Zealand. Broadcast live, from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, the PacTV New York facility utilized the upgraded local circuits to receive the tennis matches and then transmitted them via its global fiber network to Sky Television New Zealand. Sports fans in New Zealand have also been able to keep up with their favorite footballers from the Premier League this season thanks to PacTV's distribution of matches, transmitted from its London facility to Sky as well.
Finally, on Sunday, September 12, PacTV's New York and Los Angeles facilities transmitted MTV's highly-anticipated 2010 Video Music Awards. PacTV New York's uncompressed 1.5G HD circuits from The Switch New York (as well as Azzuro and Ascent Waterfront), enabled it to receive the feed in HD-SDI. Destinations for the telecast included MTV Brazil, London, Singapore and Taiwan as well as FOXTEL Australia.

The Connecticut Oilers, playing out of the SONO Ice Arena in Norwalk, are gearing up for the 2013-14 season fielding junior teams from both the Metro Junior Hockey League and Eastern Hockey League. We look forward to a very successful second season as athletes from local communities and across the country as well as Canada and Europe vie for an opportunity to play in one of the most competitive junior leagues in North America. As we begin our 2013-2014 season, we are currently accepting applications for families to host these boys during the hockey season. "Billeting" is a hockey tradition and is especially important at the junior level. This concept involves local host families providing a surrogate home to out-of-state/country players. The billet program allows these players to complete their high school education, take college level courses and/or obtain part time employment in the local community while taking their hockey careers to the next level. While hosts receive a monetary stipend to help offset some of the basic costs such as food, the true rewards are in the lasting relationships that are formed. If you are interested in becoming a host family to a CT Oiler Junior Hockey player, please contact Nancy James, our billet/housing coordinator via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Get Britain Building: A Golden OpportunityThe UK has a golden opportunity to build for the future and in doing so, create jobs, growth, a balanced economy and a greener environment. The UK must invest in new and existing housing if we are to compete in the fast growing global economy.
Solve the housing crisis within a generationSuccessful delivery of major projects, such as the Olympics and Crossrail provide evidence that the UK has the ability and ingenuity to deliver when it matters. We call upon the next Government to place the delivery of new and improved housing, non-domestic buildings and infrastructure at the heart of their long term plans and ensure that the housing crisis is solved within a generation.

All Is WellThursday, October 16th, 2008
Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted. Geuss the old saying time flies when you're having fun is true. We've been having lots of fun here. Last month I kept a diary for Farm and Ranch Living Magazine so I kind of intentionally didn't post. I don't have much of an excuse for the rest of the time though. Everything has been crazy here. We don't have any full time help with the chickens now. That's meant a lot of time in the houses for me. Most days it's been a 5am to 5pm schedule. That doesn't leave time for much when you throw in feeding the animals and doing the other farm chores. To add to the burden Cobb has decided since our flock has done so well they will keep them a couple extra weeks. Now our sell date is December 7th. Thank goodness it has slowed enough we are able to handle it. I don't know how we would make it during the peak time without some full time help. I'm still looking for the right people for the next flock and the second set of houses. I have had a few people interested, but don't know how it will turn out. Most seem to run when they find out it's a little bit of work. The rest don't want to work weekends or holidays.
Coyotes have suddenly become a problem here. A few days ago a neighbor warned me that he had seen a dog or coyote chasing the goats. A day or so later I noticed a young goat missing. Then one morning at 5:00 I saw a coyote in the field by the chickenhouse. We never had this before. I wonder if the chicken noises have lured them into this area. I don't think there is any way they could get in the chickenhouses, but I am going to have to figure out something to protect the goats and calves.
All is well with the kids. Kaylee cheered her last home football game this past week. I'm awfully proud of her. It's a real accomplishment to be cheering on the high school team at 11 years old. She is very committed. They practice 4 days a week for 2 hours each day. That's quite a load on top of her school work and helping aroud the farm. Garett has his own accomplishments too. He is on the academic team this year. It's his first year in a new school and he seems to be doing well. His grades are all A's and he loves the library at the new school. Madison is her usual cowgirl self. She loves to ride her horse "Johnny". She's doing good in school too. She says she doesn't like school as much as in previous years, but she still has all A's.
Well I'll close for now and try to get some work done. Sorry for the long break. I'll be posting more soon. Thanks for reading!

out of 100
Metascore®Mixed or average reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
Reducing an immensely disturbing, politically byzantine tale to a series of cartoonish vignettes, this celeb-studded biopic squanders a gutsy performance by Amanda Seyfried.
Read Full Review
Lovelace, ahem, blows it. The narrative rewind gives us new facts and a whole heap of crying scenes, but no added insight into Linda's mind—she's still as empty as an inflatable toy.
Lovelace is a lackluster, skin-deep biopic.
Seyfried works hard for your empathy, with the same naïveté that helped secure Boreman's rep as the ''sexy Raggedy Ann.'' And Sarsgaard is perfect for this role, oozing '70s sleaze in all its mustache-smoothing glory. But even they can't add depth to this sad story.
There aren't many bright spots in Lovelace, although one is Amanda Seyfried's intoxicating smile, and another is the retinal insult delivered by a 16mm projector flaring out at the audience during the movie's opening moments, and which feels like an accusation. It's the odd film that indicts you just for watching. But Lovelace is an eccentric piece of cinema, made by unlikely people.
Cameo appearances by everyone from James Franco (as Hugh Hefner, putting the moves on Lovelace at her own premiere) to Hank Azaria (as a film "investor") dot the grimy landscape.
Given all the ways a project like this could have gone wrong, the result is surprisingly good on several fronts, beginning with a shrewd structure that fosters an intelligent dual perspective on the public and private aspects of the Deep Throat phenomenon.
Perfectly capturing the tenor of the times and the grimy underworld of the porn industry, Lovelace is the kind of movie you'll appreciate and respect but never enjoy.
See all Lovelace reviews at Metacritic.com
Not for kids
Reverent portrait of porn star has nudity, language, more.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Lovelace is a biopic about Linda Lovelace, star of the infamous 1970s porn movie Deep Throat. There's some female toplessness and plenty of sexual innuendo and sexual suggestion, but not much sex is actually shown for a film about porn. Spousal and sexual abuse are also intense parts of the plot, but the movie manages to keep most of it off screen or suggested, rather than shown. Language isn't frequent but is very strong and includes many sexual terms. And there's plenty of drinking and drug use. The movie is very sympathetic toward its heroine and celebrates her efforts to stand up against a dark and brutal world, but it's still not meant for kids.
How is sex portrayed in the movie? Is it loving or exploitative? Parents, talk to your teens about your own values regarding sex and relationships.
In the movie, what was Linda's relationship with her parents like? Were they supportive? Caring? How well did they communicate?
Was Linda too young to be involved in this world?
Messages: The movie makes a strong case for standing up for yourself against bullies and abuse, even at the risk of safety and comfort. As part of the main character's recovery, she gets married and starts a family.
Role models: Though Linda Lovelace endures some hard times, performs in a porn movie, and is far from a saint, she eventually works hard to speak out against the porn industry and against the kind of spousal abuse that put her in that place to begin with.
Violence: Though the movie isn't constantly violent, the main character is the victim of spousal abuse. Her husband beats her and forces her to have sex with other men for money. Most of this is suggested, heard, or shown off screen, but that doesn't keep it from being disturbing and intense. In one scene, her husband throws her up against a wall. He carries a gun that he fires in anger from time to time. In a late scene, he's whipped with his belt.
Sex: Linda is shown topless for some photo shoots. There's strong innuendo and references to oral sex. The plot of the (real-life) porn movie Deep Throat is discussed. A married couple is shown in bed together, with suggested sex (both intercourse and oral), but little nudity is shown. The main character has many partners, though all of them unwilling. A man shows his bare bottom for a camera.
Language: Language isn't constant, but "f--k" is heard in many forms, as well as "t-ts," "ass," "c--k," "p---y," "bitch," "clitoris," "balls," and "cum," plus "Jesus Christ" and "God" (as exclamations).
Consumerism: Not applicable
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Drugs and drinking are prevalent in the world of 1970s porn. The main character smokes pot. Her mom and dad drink whisky at home. There's champagne at parties. Linda is seen taking pills. Linda's husband snorts huge amounts of cocaine in later scenes.

No Frank. We're 6 games back. Even if we sweep the 3 games against Minnesota, we'd be 3 games back. The division was lost when the Sox decided to punt on Jim Thome and let Minnesota grab him. Look at the Sox DH production and the Twinkies DH production. The Twinkies have a 131 split OPS+ and the Sox a 92. And if the Twinkies didn't have Jim Thome to play at DH when Morneau went down, their other DH option, Kubel, has a split OPS+ of 86.
And in today's pregame show Bill Melton said something like ' the Andruw Jones, Mark Kotsay and Dayan Viciedo combo has given the same numbers as Jim Thome.' No. Not even close. Look at the DH links above.

Today's accountability measurements go too far
To hear some folks tell it, you'd think a great movement has arisen among Texas parents to keep their kids uneducated and unemployable. If we back away from "rigorous" academic testing, their argument goes, we'll take a step backwards in our drive for educational excellence in our public schools.
What's actually happening is quite the opposite — there is indeed a movement, but it's composed of what has been described as "Mad Moms" who fear that excessive testing is ruining their children's educational experience. These Mad Moms don't fear rigor — they're simply questioning how we measure it. They've reached out to their legislators, and I and many of my colleagues think they're right. Our current testing regime is only producing improvement at one thing: taking tests.
Left by the wayside are other crucial skills, such as creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and technological proficiency.
For this reason, Rep. Diane Patrick, R-Arlington, and I authored a bill to reduce the onerous 15 end-of-course exams currently required for graduation by the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) testing system down to the most important three: Algebra I, English III, and Writing III. Our bills, SB 240/HB 640, also would allow the use of other proven testing measures such as scores on the SAT, ACT, career and technology certifications and licensure, and similar exams to affirm success.
Other legislators have filed similar bills, including Sen. Kel Seliger, chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock, chairman of the House Public Education Committee, and Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio.
I am well aware of measurement, accountability and testing as a member of the Senate's Education Committee, and also as a member of the National Assessment Governing Board, the body of elected and appointed officials that oversees the content and operation of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Also known as "The Nation's Report Card," NAEP is a continuing and nationally representative measure of achievement in various subjects over time.
I wholeheartedly approve of measurement testing for just that — measurement, a way to help our students succeed.
But the current system goes well beyond simple measurement and has instead become an arbitrary, high-stakes, and often punitive obstacle to graduation for some students and a hindrance to educators who must spend excessive time "teaching to the test" — mere coaching of test-taking skills — and not enough on development of analytical thinking, the kind of skill that ultimately will be most prized in the job market.
The NAEP is often trumpeted as proof that our excessive testing is working and necessary. Texas students have indeed improved on NAEP assessments in recent years. And it's often pointed out that U.S. students are still lagging behind some of their global counterparts on international equivalents.
But at NAGB, we've reviewed research showing the way those students achieve high scores is not repetitive drilling and testing. Finland, for example, does not employ such a testing regime. Instead, that nation spends resources on great teachers. This means the rigor comes from high standards in their curriculum and the highly regarded educators who are treated with the prestige they deserve and paid for the expertise they bring to the classroom.
If we look to China: Even though China ranks No. 1 in the world in an international testing equivalent to NAEP, they aren't celebrating. In fact, they are concerned that their students aren't truly learning to think. A New York Times article last year reported how China has the toughest university entrance exam in the world, yet the country's intelligentsia lament that their nation cannot produce its own Steve Jobs.
What has made our nation great is creativity. It's at the heart of entrepreneurship. It's at the core of a representative democracy. Texas can do much better. We can make sure that our students have real opportunities for success.

Hampton Union, Tuesday, February 17, 2009
[The following article is courtesy of the Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
HAMPTON -- Boys in suits, girls in flowery dresses. Streamers of pink and white crisscrossing their way over the room, while balloons decorated with hearts hang in the air.
Platters of desserts and trays of refreshments line the tables. This is the scene of the 5th annual Valentine's Sweetheart Tea. Held Saturday, Feb. 14, at Lane Library, it was open to all children ages 3-8.
There were a variety of activities for the children to engage in, including getting their faces painted, drinking tea out of a China set, enjoying scrumptious desserts, listening to stories that were read to them and even building a craft.
This year's craft was a Lady Lovebug bucket; a small, red metal pail that children could decorate to resemble a 'lady lovebug.'
The event was sponsored by the Friends of the Lane Memorial Library, a volunteer organization designed to bring together members of the community who have an interest in furthering the library's growth and prosperity. This year's event was organized by two Winnacunnet High School seniors.
Gigi Dawson and Kara Colarusso, both 17, organized the event to fulfill their senior seminar project.
There was a morning and afternoon session, both of which had about 20 children in attendance, all accompanied by an adult. The limited number of seats available were reserved within the first two days of sign-ups, which has become customary.
"The event always fills up on the first few days after sign-ups begin," said Susan Hughes, president of the Friends group.
When asked why she thinks the event has proven to be so popular, Hughes said that it was the opportunity for children to socialize on a different level.
"They can dress up, and it gives them a chance to be big girls and boys," said Hughes.
Wendy Corrigan, who brought her three-year-old daughter, Sienna, said the event provided a good opportunity for the children to socialize.
Corrigan said this was her first year coming to the event and she intends to come back next year.
Beth Sakelarios, who has been attending the event for the past three years with her eldest child, attended the event this year with her 3½-year-old son Cameron.
"It's a nice experience for kids these age," she said. "It's also nice because it brings together the community.
"I enjoy doing it with my kids because it's something nice to do with just mom and the boys," she said.
Dawson and Colarusso said they hope to pass the event on to future seniors in an effort to create a tradition that benefits both the children and the students.
