Watching the movie "Lincoln" on Saturday, Rep. Joe Courtney was perplexed during the climactic scene.
Two of his predecessors from nearly 150 years ago, lawmakers representing the state of Connecticut in 1865, are seen voting against the constitutional amendment to end slavery.
Courtney asked the Congressional Research Service for the records, and sure enough, all four representatives from Connecticut voted yes on the 13th amendment.
But in the film, we see the fictional lawmakers Augustus Benjamin and Arthur Bentleigh of Connecticut each vote "Nay."
"I could not believe my own eyes and ears," Courtney said. In a letter of protest to director Steven Spielberg, he said that although he thinks overall the film is tremendous and compelling, "placing the State of Connecticut on the wrong side of the historic and divisive fight over slavery is a distortion of easily verifiable facts."
Screenwriter Tony Kushner conceded the discrepancy but defended the film.
"None of the key moments of that story -- the overarching story our film tells -- are altered," he said in a statement Thursday. He explained that the alterations were made to serve the narrative that the outcome of the vote was in doubt until the very end.
"I hope nobody is shocked to learn that I also made up dialogue and imagined encounters and invented characters," he added.
"I'm sorry if anyone in Connecticut felt insulted by these 15 seconds of the movie," Kushner said, but "this is a dramatic film and not an attack on their home state."
Still, Courtney said Friday that he hoped the movie would be changed before it is released on DVD on February 26.

Dr. Ann C. Saunders' work includes mixed media drawings, paintings and constructions – all of which are inspired by her personal study of the Qur'an. Although contemporary, her work draws upon the traditions and influences of Islamic art and the African aesthetic.

Artist Herbert Gentry (1919-2003) made vibrant expressionist paintings of figures and faces, mixing global influences and African American experience. Referring to his childhood during the Harlem Renaissance, Gentry asserted "Harlem prepared me for Paris." After completing military service in World War II, Herb Gentry returned to Paris for art school - and found himself in the heart of the expatriate American community in Montparnasse. More
Edward Clark is an abstract painter whose work has drawn accolades internationally for five decades. He is the first painter credited with working on a shaped canvas, an innovation that influenced contemporary art through the 1950s and 1960s. He is also known for his powerful brush stroke, large-scale canvases, and especially, his use of color, which makes some people call him an "Abstract Impressionist." More

14 out of 15 people found this review useful. 2 of 8
Categories Comments Campus Safety Great safety on campus, campus police is always patrolling at any time and you can walk around at any time.
Clubs and Activities There are hundreds of clubs here at UofT and you might get the feeling that they are operating behind your back as sometimes, you don't see much happening but in reality, there is a lot of hard work behind each club. It is tempting to sign up for many of these amazing clubs and end up being overwhelmed. My best advise is to stick to one or two clubs which you like the most and give in your contribution.
Great for these types of students U of T is nerd and geek paradise, academic brilliance and astonishing projects are praised and prized at the highest level. Some students are great at studying and have no particular talent and some others have amazing talents which you could not even imagine, as long as you can keep up with the work and you are passionate about what you are studying, you will benefit greatly. I must say though, that U of T is a great place for science and engineering majors but does not excel at other majors so if you intent to be in the medical, science or engineering field, its the way to go!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Make sure you attend frosh week, Winterfest, Pub Nights and Godiva week from the engineering department, they're great ways to make friends.
Bang for the buck UofT is a very expensive place, especially for international students who pay around 2.5 times the amount paid by domestic students. Aside from the fees, the bookstore and shops around campus are generally more expensive, although if you just go a little bit further outside campus in China Town, things get a lot cheaper.
What to do for fun In order to have the most fun at U of T, from my 2 years of experience here, I suggest the following: 1. Choose UofT wisely, it is not a place for everybody, it will push you to your limits and beyond and therefore, you will get the best sense of enjoyment once you've gone through the punishment. 2. Don't be shy, go talk to people, go talk to that girl or guy you've been eyeing while eating. People are generally very friendly and are equally looking for an exciting experience just like you are but chances are they are they shy ones so do approach them, it might lead to some great friendship and relationships. 3. Join into parties even though you don't know anybody, introduce yourself and you will be having a good time in no time. 4. Try to keep up with the work, do not leave anything for the last minute, this makes for the least enjoyable experiences you can have.
Food and Dining There are literally hundreds of places to eat at U of T, the campus itself feels like a small town with all its facilities and services. Because of the diversity of the country, there are so many food options to choose from on-campus itself. There are food trucks on the main streets selling fries, hot dogs, poutine, fish etc..., there are Indian snacks, pizza snacks, burger and fast food places, salad bars, Italian places and countless number of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai places on campus or very close to campus. I would say that food is in abundance and should be the least of your worries.
Dorm Life Having lived at the New College residence for the past 2 years, I can say that Dorm Life is very convenient and almost makes everything too easy; most residences at U of T come with a meal plan so food is not to worry about. My best friends in life are those I made during my first year in residence and the good times we've had are simply amazing. However, being such an academically focused university, it is very hard to find people out of their rooms looking for friendship or looking for people to interact with, most attendees are nerds and geeks and are nice people but hard to open yourself to and create meaningful relationships. To help with this, the residences adopt a community lifestyle with different Houses for which fun events are organized and also inter-house events for which house points can be earned for performance, teamwork and number of participants for each house. The quiet hours imposed however can impair party times and can be annoying sometimes but once you made some good friends during your first few weeks, the quality of residence, the facilities provided, the cafeteria and events organized makes for a very fun and memorable time. Do not get too distracted though, study hard as well.
Academic Rigor Academic Rigor is the strong point here at U of T, they want the best of the best. It is known for its unnecessarily tough undergraduate programs and while the material that you learn is mostly the same as other universities for accreditation reasons, the midterms and exams are very tough and are often accompanied by grade deflation or inflation practices through a bell-curve. Most of the professors who teach first and second year students are well established researchers and may lack some teaching talent, but upper years are more enjoyable as professors treat you differently and classes get smaller. Nevertheless, be prepared for long class hours, all-nighters, busy weekends, hectic moments, cramming and very little but intense partying.
Tips for prospective students U of T is very different from most other universities; it is definitely not a party school and the tough examinations, marking practices and predetermined averages for each course makes for harsh competition or good collaboration depending on your major. Classes are mostly very large in the first two years and gradually diminish in numbers. U of T expects more from each student compared to other universities, it might seem harsh at first but you will soon realize that it is the closest preparation to real life that you can get in Canada. The engineering and life-sciences programs are one of the toughest and most demanding in North America and professors alongside with the faculty vary the difficulty of final exams or make use of bell-curves to keep the class averages around 68% and therefore it becomes hard to stand out and easy to fall behind very quickly. However, there is great diversity on campus and lots of great food and bar options. When parties do happen, they are most enjoyable and feel very well deserved.
In three sentences More known as 'U of T', it is a very busy place with more than 50,000 students and 200 student clubs and organisations. There is lots to do and it is a very academically demanding place which demands maturity.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The age of majority being 19 makes everything easier than in the US, so enjoy going out to bars and clubs, concerts are always easily accessible and high quality.
Food and Dining Cuisine is awesome around here, tons of Chinese and Indian places, shawarma is a must. Tim Hortons are open 24 hours, and always convenient.
Dorm Life Very nice, the campus is a great space to live, while expensive.
Academic Rigor The workload is tough, and it shows through the shortage of wild parties that aren't constant. This is one of the best in the world, and it's easy to get behind.
Tips for prospective students Find all of the necessary services, laundry, food, bars, restaurants, etc. Learn a little something about as may countries as you can, it will come in handy when meeting the students from all over.
In three sentences This school will change your life by showing you just how many doors there are to be opened. You can study and become involved with anything under the sun here. Other than academics, there is always something to do socially too.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is pretty safe. However, students need to remember that it is located in down town, which is somewhat unsafe is specific areas.
Clubs and Activities There are a variety of clubs and activities. Many are interesting to join and a way for students to enjoy their life while studying.
Bang for the buck Fees are constantly rising throughout the years.
What to do for fun Enjoy Toronto life.
Food and Dining I did not buy a meal plan; however, there is much variety around Toronto. Food is generally very easily accessible although dining is not.
Dorm Life I did not live in a dorm.
Academic Rigor It takes much effort to impress most of the professors. The bell curve system also makes it difficult for students to achieve A's.
Tips for prospective students Be realistic and be prepared to tackle many obstacles. Talk to the counsellors regarding your future aspirations and ways to succeed.
In three sentences It prepares you for the future with intensive skill developing and testing techniques. Nonetheless, the grading system also discourages many students to abandon their career choices. Overall, one needs to be guided well before entering this school.

Food and Dining Food on campus can be a little repetitive but it isn't horrible.
Dorm Life I have the pleasure of being blessed with three wonderful roommates and have met many wonderful people living on residence.
Academic Rigor It was a little unsettling to get into the routine of a university student, but make sure to study not only the material given but also the applications of the knowledge to difficult questions.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared for a very competitive academic atmosphere, but at the same time, try to be more involved within the university community by joining clubs and volunteering.
In three sentences It is a beautiful campus with great opportunities in both academics and extra-curricular activities. The libraries all extremely resourceful and all the staff are welcoming and willing to help. All in all, it is a great pleasure to attend this university.

Preview: 76ers at Nuggets
Thanks to the Miami Heat, the Denver Nuggets' 13-game win streak may be the quietest in league history. The Nuggets are still behind Miami's current 24-game mark, but their franchise-record streak has them surging up the Western Conference standings. Denver is tied for fourth place in the Western Conference with the Clippers, just percentage points behind third-place Memphis. The Nuggets are looking to avenge an 84-75 loss to the Sixers on Oct. 31.The Sixers were streaking in the wrong direction last month, when they fell out of playoff contention with seven straight losses. They've played better over the past two weeks, winning three of their last five games. The Sixers continues to struggle away from home, however. Philadelphia has lost 14 straight road games since Jan. 1, including a 101-72 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday.TV: 9 p.m. ET, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, Altitude (Denver)ABOUT THE 76ERS (26-41): Philadelphia began a four-game road trip with a dismal showing against the Clippers, who held the Sixers to 36.7 percent shooting. They'll need a much better performance against the high-octane Nuggets, who rank third in the NBA in scoring (106.1). Point guard Jrue Holiday had 14 points and 11 rebounds against Denver in the first meeting, but he missed seven of his eight shots and finished with eight points against the Clippers on Wednesday.ABOUT THE NUGGETS (47-22): Denver continued its strong play against the league's elite teams with a 114-104 win at Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Swingman Wilson Chandler, a key reserve during the team's current surge, separated his left shoulder in the win and is listed as doubtful against the Sixers. Denver has always been a high-scoring team, but its improved defense has made them a title contender. The Nuggets have recorded at least 10 steals in 12 of the last 14 games.BUZZER BEATERS1. The Nuggets have outscored their opponents in the paint in 50 straight games.2. Philadelphia is 3-13 in the second game of back-to-backs this season.3. Denver PG Ty Lawson is listed as day-to-day after aggravating a heel bruise against Oklahoma City.PREDICTION: Nuggets 111, 76ers 92

ALBANY, GA -- Even after a slow start, the Albany State basketball coaches stayed patient.
"Just wait, wait until we get our top players back" was a common thread in the early months of the season. The Golden Rams were waiting on seniors and leading scorers Justin Wilcox and Jaren Harris.
To start January, the ASU duo returned to the line up. Now, it's time for the SIAC team to get back in the hunt.
The Golden Rams have won two straight conference games due in large part to the contributions of Wilcox and Harris. The seniors have led the team in scoring in five of its last nine games and the impact is translating to optimism at HPER Gym.
"We struggled a little bit coming in to conference play, but when we started gelling, like last week, everything clicked a little better. We're just working hard and staying focused," Wilcox said.
"We've been trying to find some consistency in the offense and some chemistry. I told the guys just keep working...we're doing great things...it just takes time sometimes. They continued to believe and kept working at it. Now, we're starting to see the results of it," ASU Head Coach Chris Cameron said.
Albany State's chance to extend its winning streak runs through Clark-Atlanta Thursday. With the SIAC's worst record, Clark-Atlanta travels to Albany for a 7:30 tipoff.

Many will calculate time remaining for the dive based on the divers air consumption. If the computer is a hose less model, all of the information is transmitted to a wrist unit and eliminates the high pressure hose which streamlines the diver's equipment. Hoseless or wrist dive computerHoseless or wrist dive computers can be mounted in a console, on the wrist, on a hose or even on a retractor. How a dive computer is mounted is dependent on the diver's preference and the computer's configuration. Choose a Nitrox dive computerMany dive computers are configured for Nitrox which allows the diver to use air or Enriched Air Nitrox. These dive computers offer all the same features of the air computers, but can easily be programmed for whatever mixture of Nitrox the diver is using. "All other conditions being equal, a diver on Nitrox 36 will consume about 12 percent less gas than a diver on normal air." - According to Scuba Lab. See less ▴ |
