50 Best College Movies
There are rare American features, throughout the years, which do have something to say, humorous or serious, about the university experience. Here is our list of the top 50.
-Gerald Peary/Globe correspondent
Pictured: (l-r) Bruce McGill as Daniel Simpson 'D-Day' Day, Tim Matheson as Eric 'Otter' Stratton, Peter Riegert as Donald 'Boon' Schoenstein, John Belushi as John 'Bluto' Blutarsky, James Widdoes as Robert Hoover in the 1978 film "National Lampoon's Animal House." Next
50. 'College' (1927)
Buster Keaton's least successful feature still has a few superlative comic moments, as tiny frosh Buster tries his darnedest to make every muscle-bound varsity team. This comedy, interestingly, sets the stage for later campus movies equally suspicious of intellect, as bookish Buster is a turnoff to everyone, including his favorite girl, until he succeeds at sports. Next
49. 'Legally Blonde' (2000)
Reese Witherspoon (center, in pink) at Harvard Law School? Right! Is the Pope Jewish? This fluffy girl-out-of-water tale of a California sorority bubblehead who makes it big in the stuffy Ivy League is mostly Hollywood post-feminist pap. But it certainly found an audience, leading to a sequel and a Broadway musical. Next
48. 'Mr. Belvedere Goes to College' (1949)
One of a series of popular 1940s films featuring Clifton Webb as a snobby, elitist genius. Here Belvedere goes to university as a middle-aged adult, and turns up his nose at campus antics when he becomes an unlikely boarder in a giddy sorority house. Next
47. 'Here Come the Co-Eds' (1945)
Abbott and Costello flee the police and take jobs as caretakers at a repressed woman's college, where the head of the board of trustees enforces draconian rules of conduct. These are challenged by dancing and singing and a string of chaotic slapstick routines from the amusing comedy duo. Next
46. 'Harvard Man' (2001)
An autobiographical tall tale based on filmmaker James Toback's druggy, promiscuous days at a well-regarded Cambridge university. The film, locally shot, is tamer, less scandalous, than Toback might have wished, but Adrian Grenier (left, with former Celtics guard and occasional actor Ray Allen) in the lead got some training for his sexy life on TV's "Entourage." Next
45. 'Smart People' (2008)
The travails of an unhappy, uncaring college English professor (Dennis Quaid) who, perhaps too predictably, regains his humanity and his touch in the classroom. And his book gets published! Anyway, Ellen Page (right, with Thomas Haden Church) is great as his elitist, Republican daughter. Next
44. 'Heaven's Gate' (1980)
Sure it toppled a studio with its tossed-away millions in production costs, but Michael Cimino's maligned epic is actually pretty decent, and even brilliant in its virtuoso act-one preface at the 1870 Harvard graduation, where leaden speeches segue into a truly dazzling, multi-camera dance on the green.
Pictured: Isabelle Huppert and Kris Kristofferson. Next
43. 'Teacher's Pet' (1958)
Hollywood stars Doris Day and Clark Gable battle it out in the classroom. She's a devoted, outspoken journalism professor, he's a hardboiled newspaperman who has snuck into her course because he's attracted to her sauciness. They fly at each other when he, pretending to be a journalist novice, keeps correcting her lectures. This might be Gable's best role in the last years of his life, and Day proves that she's a mighty underrated screwball comedian. Next
42. 'Monster on the Campus' (1958)
Another misguided science professor. This one messes in his laboratory with a prehistoric fish from Madagascar. The plot is borrowed from the Hollywood werewolf genre. The professor gets bit by the fish, turns into a hairy beast, and dead bodies appear mysteriously on campus. This low-tech, low-budget horror movie was made by enterprising Jack Arnold, director of "The Incredible Shrinking Man." Next
41. 'National Lampoon's Van Wilder' (2002)
If you've got to have one proudly brainless college comedy, let it be this one, with the crass, coarse, but ever-amiable titular hero (a smooth Ryan Reynolds, pictured) in his seventh year of hedonistic fun at Coolidge College. The other students dig Wilder and his Falstaffian excesses, the pompous administration connives to force him out on his lazy butt. A lame story? This movie was so popular that it prompted two even stupider Van Wilder sequels. Next
40. 'Rudy' (1993)
It's corny, shameless American Dream stuff, but audiences love this unpretentious story of the stubborn little guy (Sean Astin) who, against the odds, wills himself onto the Notre Dame football team. Next
39. 'Mona Lisa Smile' (2003)
A bit stodgy, Mike Newell's feature still gets points for centering on an admirable professor. It's a miscast Julia Roberts (left) as a 1950s art historian passing on her unorthodox wisdom to impressionable Wellesley students, Kirsten Dunst and Maggie Gyllenhaal (second from left, with Kirsten Dunst) among them. Next
38. 'Real Genius' (1985)
Martha Coolidge's comedy is dated, but there still are enjoyable moments in this film about precocious science nerds at a high-powered California university who, not knowing it, are involved by the nefarious dean in a paramilitary plot involving high-tech weaponry. Val Kilmer stars as a rising-star science student who also, far more important, is a slovenly party animal. Next
37. 'Knute Rockne All-American' (1940)
A classic performance from Pat O'Brien as the legendary Notre Dame football coach. This is the one where callow Ronald Reagan (pictured) is George Gipp, an athlete dying young; and Rockne inspires his team at halftime against Army with the immortal challenge: "Win just one for the Gipper!" Next
36. 'One on One' (1977)
Directed by the talented Lamont Johnson, this tale of a small-town basketball star (Robby Benson) lost in the big business of campus sports is perhaps the best of the athlete-goes-to-college subgenre, even with the clichéd subplot of the beautiful female tutor who rescues him. Next
35. 'The Gambler' (1974)
The screenplay for director Karel Reisz comes from James Toback of "Harvard Man," a self-annointed expert on campus vice. Toback updates Dostoevsky's Russian-set novella into an American melodrama about a New York literature professor (James Caan, center) hooked on betting and gambling—when he's not astutely lecturing his class on the poetry of William Carlos Williams. Next
34. 'Sydney White' (2007)
A PG-13 film with spirit, and, within the confines of a most conventional story, a persuasive lesson for adolescents. Amanda Bynes (center) goes off to college and learns that she's just fine when she's rejected from a Stepford-like sorority . She's far better off hanging with unfashionable dorks like herself, who get off reading comic books. Next
33. 'The Revolutionary' (1970)
Here's an obscure picture with a coterie reputation, an austere, Kafkaesque tale of student protest starring, as the reluctant left-winger, a post-"Midnight Cowboy" Jon Voight, decades before he made his Tea Party turnaround. Next
32. 'The Absent-Minded Professor' (1961)
This Disney chestnut involves old pro Fred MacMurray as dizzy Professor Brainard, who literally forgets to show up at his own wedding. On the other hand, he invents an anti-gravity substance, which he calls "flubber," that let the college basketball team to leap through the air and precipitates some amazing moves at a campus dance. For more, check out the 1963 sequel, "Son of Flubber." Next
31. The Strange One' (1957)
Calder Willingham, later the estimable scriptwriter of "The Graduate" and "Little Big Man," provided here the screenplay adaptation of his own novel and play, "End as a Man." This tough, superior film takes place at a Southern military academy much like the Citadel where the uniformed student body is lorded over by an intimidating campus bully (Ben Gazzara). Next
30. 'The Accused' (1949)
A very rare campus-set "film noir," and a good and exciting one. Loretta Young plays a professor hounded by a male student, who tries to rape her. In self-defense, she murders him and then, a fatal mistake, decides to cover up the crime. Next
29. 'Orange County' (2002)
A bright Southern California high school student (Colin Hanks, right with Schuyler Fisk) is cheated out of going to Stanford, so he drives north with his girlfriend and perpetually fried brother (Jack Black, who else?) to rectify the situation. There's an uproarious evening in Palo Alto, but there's also the kindness of a writer in residence (Kevin Kline), encouraging the student in his literary ambitions. Next
28. 'The Sterile Cuckoo' (1969)
Filmmaker Alan J. Pakula's sweet, gentle campus romance is between a shy, inexperienced freshman and a kooky young girl (Liza Minnelli). Gradually, she proves too mentally unstable, and her Cub Scout of a boyfriend must move on, one of the saddest college breakups in cinema. Next
27. 'Drive, He Said' (1971)
Sex, drugs, foggy chatter, and basketball are jumbled together in this felicitous take on Jeremy Larner's novel. The first-time filmmaker is Jack Nicholson, and this film is a sublime candidate for restoration, revival, cult status. Next
26. 'The Nutty Professor' (1996)
This Eddie Murphy (pictured) remake is very amusing in its own right, just a step behind the Jerry Lewis original. Murphy is A-OK strolling about campus as the rotund Professor Klump, but the really genius scene is at home, when he singlehandedly portrays all the rowdy Klumps at the dinner table. Next
25. 'The Great Debaters' (2007)
Denzel Washington (pictured) directed this important saga of African-American history, celebrating the debate team of Wiley College in 1930s segregated Texas. Too bad that the film culminates in a fictitious debate against Harvard. In real life, there was a clash between Wiley and the University of Southern California, formidable enough. Next
24. 'Old School' (2003)
Todd Phillips's practice film for the "The Hangover" puts in motion his key mantra: that married men want to be boys, pining for the dude camaraderie and, yes, the beers and chicks of bachelorhood. His three post-30 amigos — Will Ferrell (center, in green), Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn — set up a fraternity house on the edge of campus so they can party like undergrads. Sexist, yes, but Ferrell and Vaughn sure are funny. Next
23. 'Good News' (1947)
Here it is, "College: The Musical," a colorful MGM remake of an earlier 1930 song-and-dance film about innocent, pie-eyed 1920s campus life. The librarian (June Allyson) falls hard for the football hero (Peter Lawford), and the predictable on-and-off romance—there's a vamp in the way!—is surrounded by a classic score including "The Best Things in Life Are Free." Next
22. 'The Wild Party' (1929)
The first talkie from the effervescent "It" girl, Clara Bow, takes place in a girls' college, where flapper Clara majors in Jazz Age hoofing. Her educational attitude shapes up when she becomes enamored of a new, serious teacher (Frederic March). Dorothy Arzner was the only women directing in Hollywood between 1927-1943. The tight, sensual relationship of the female students reveals Arzner's shadowy lesbian subtext. Next
21. 'Good Will Hunting' (1997)
It's improbable if not impossible that an untrained Southie janitor could do advanced algebra, but who is going to argue with the unfathomable success of Gus Van Sant's schmaltzy MIT-set tale? It put young Matt (Damon, left with Robin Williams) and Ben on the movie map, leading, respectively, to the Bourne connection and J-Lo. Next
20. 'Love Story' (1970)
Yes, it's cheesy, and disease-of-the-week, and yet there's something undeniably touching about this fated romance of a Harvard blueblood (Ryan O'Neal, left) and a working-class Radcliffe girl (Ali MacGraw, right). If you can get past the nonsense adage, "Love never means having to say you're sorry," check out the Harvard settings, from a halcyon time before film crews were banned from the campus. Next
19. 'The War at Home' (1979)
A superb documentary tracing the shifts over a decade at the University of Wisconsin at Madison from straight and square to a center of protest, both pacifist and violent, against the war in Vietnam. One of the co-directors, Barry Alexander Brown, became Spike Lee's regular editor. Next
18. 'The Male Animal' (1942)
An unusual college comedy of ideas, from a Broadway play by humorist James Thurber. An English teacher (Henry Fonda) at a football-mad Midwestern university reads to his class a death-house letter from Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Afterward, the conservative board of trustees wish to fire him as a "Communist." The teacher's line of defense, brave for Hollywood, is standing strong for freedom of speech. Next
17. 'Wonder Boys' (2000)
Curtis Hanson's classy adaptation of Michael Chabon's 1995 novel. Michael Douglas (center, with Tobey Maguire) is a floundering creative writing professor whose love life is complex and messy, and who just can't finish that essential book. Katie Holmes (background left) plays a gorgeous student and, amazingly for this genre, the indulgent Douglas resists sleeping with her. Next
16. 'Elegy' (2008)
This smart adaptation of Philip Roth's "The Dying Animal," directed by Spanish filmmaker, Isabel Coixet, is the winner among professor-beds-his-student features. A proud academic (Ben Kingsley, left) can't resist when an enticing Spaniard enters his classroom. It's Penelope Cruz (right) as his sexy, willing pupil. Next
15. 'Back to School' (1986)
Comedian Rodney Dangerfield (second from left) is a charismatic presence as a zillionaire businessman off to college for the first time. There's a tiresome Hollywood lesson that Dangerfield must learn, that "everything can't be bought," but it's balanced by super performances from Ned Beatty as a servile administrator and Sam Kinison as an insane professor. Plus, there's a cameo by Kurt Vonnegut. Next
14. 'The Paper Chase' (1973)
The most infamous professor in all of cinema is John Houseman's tweedy, imperious, insulting Harvard Law teacher. Will he win a battle of wills with a stubborn first-year student (Timothy Bottoms), who is also in a love affair with the professor's prized daughter? More important, will the student be co-opted by the patrician, establishment values of the Ivy world? Next
13. 'The Way We Were' (1973)
It's only the first section of Arthur Laurents's screenplay which takes place at college, but what a unique act one slipped into a mainstream Hollywood movie. Barbra Streisand's Katie (right) is taken seriously as a Jewish campus activist, and Robert Redford's Hubbell (left), in a classroom scene, is treated with respect when he reads aloud a literary short story. Next
12. 'The Nutty Professor' (1963)
The French adore this Jerry Lewis-directed movie, in which Jerry (pictured) plays a clumsy, introverted, bucktoothed science teacher who, after gulping down a magic formula, transforms into a coed-obsessed, vainglorious lounge singer. This movie is funny and clever, and Lewis is delicious sliding between the two parts. Does anyone care that the good professor is nutty for one of his female students? Next
11. 'The Sure Thing' (1985)
Rob Reiner's beloved road trip comedy puts quarreling students John Cusack (right) and Daphne Zuniga (left) on the highway, but their estrangement ends, to our satisfaction, with true love back at the university. The deus ex machina is provided by a capable, caring professor, played with aplomb by Viveca Lindfors. Next
10. 'Accepted' (2006)
Eccentric, intelligent kids rejected from college open their own ersatz university in a painted-over mental institution. Steve Pink's winning Hollywood satire has teeth, for the fake campus actually has a philosophy, part Rousseau, part '60s hippie, by which students teach and/or take whatever courses interest them, to heck with a formal curriculum. For example, there's a class with comedian Lewis Black delivering tirades against big business.
Pictured: Adam Herschman, Maria Thayer, and Justin Long. Next
9. 'Berkeley in the Sixties' (1990)
Mark Kitchell's excellent documentary about campus politics on the University of California campus, from the Free Speech Movement through anti-war protests and the Black Panthers, with Joan Baez and Huey Newton on the left, and then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan on the unapologetic right. Next
8. 'School Daze' (1988)
Spike Lee based this fictional film set at a black college on his own days at Atlanta's Morehouse University. In contrast to the apolitical agenda of most studio college films, Lee's feature is an audacious, insider's critique of what's politically wrong at an African-American university, starting with fraternity-sorority prejudice against darker-skinned students.
Pictured: Lawrence Fishburne Next
7. 'Revenge of the Nerds' (1984)
A savvy rebuttal to "Animal House," Jeff Kanew's pro-nerd feature seemed radical then, in a time before Comic-Con and new-media geeks. It's still a hoot to watch the outcast computer science majors, in an alliance with a dorky woman, an Asian, a gay man, and a black fraternity, foil the odious white-boy Greeks. Next
6. 'Harvard Beats Yale 29-29' (2008)
Kevin Rafferty's documentary reminiscence of a legendary 1968 football game, with the pigskin participants from both Ivy teams providing wry, savory commentary. Even non-gridiron folks will relish the company of the now-60ish players, including ex-Harvard lineman Tommy Lee Jones. Next
5. 'Higher Learning' (1995)
"Boyz in the Hood" director John Singleton masterminded this sinfully overlooked tale about race relations at a contemporary university. Singleton segues between white and African-American students, showing their glaringly different perspectives on the same issues. The beautifully choreographed interracial cast includes Omar Epps, Ice Cube, and Jennifer Connelly. Next
4. 'Horse Feathers' (1932)
A wonderfully loopy, anarchic Marx Brothers film in which Groucho (pictured) is cast as the new president of Huxley College. He's there to save the sinking school by hiring ringer footballers. The behemoth athletes morph into Chico and Harpo, and the rest is insanity, including Groucho's hilarious wooing of the campus widow. The fourth Marx Brother, Zeppo, plays Groucho's idiot son, in his 12th year as a Huxley undergrad. Next
3. 'The Freshman' (1925)
Bespectacled comedian Harold Lloyd (pictured) goes to college, desperate to be popular, in this silent masterpiece, as genuinely side-splitting as it is sweet and charming, whether Lloyd is practicing his goofy, patented handshake or running wild in an uproarious football game. Next
2. 'The Social Network' (2010)
A major filmmaker, David Fincher, and a splendid screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin, fix their sights on a gaggle of snarky, genius Harvard types vying for financial control of cyberspace. Here's where the Oscar should have landed, "The King's Speech" losing to Facebook.
Pictured: Jesse Eisenberg and Joseph Mazzello. Next
1. National Lampoon's Animal House' (1978)
If you're going to be politically noxious and flagrantly incorrect, then do it with audacious style and flair. Filmmaker John Landis charms even the most priggish into chortling along with the outrageous antics of a devilish Greek house, and the amoral frat boys are raised to the level of rakish wits in a Restoration comedy.
Pictured: John Belishi Back to the beginning

Bush Immigration Plan Borders On Treason
By Chuck Baldwin
Food For Thought From The Chuck Wagon
January 9, 2003 President George W. Bush wants to give some eight to ten million illegal aliens, most of them from Mexico, legal status. The plan would legalize these aliens as "temporary workers," which would allow them to work freely in the United States without fear of deportation. The plan is so disastrous to our country's well being and so fraught with potential risk to our country's security that the plan should be regarded as bordering treason!
Already, more than ten percent of Mexico's population is living illegally in the United States. If Bush's plan is actually implemented, that percentage would skyrocket. Our southern border is already an open sieve, as millions of Mexicans pour into our country. Bush's amnesty program (and that's exactly what it is, Bush's word games notwithstanding) would only be seen as a green light for millions more to invade our nation.
The financial drain on American taxpayers by these criminals is incalculable. Taxpayers will be paying for their food, health care, Social Security benefits, and education, plus all of the above for their dependents, from now on. Not to mention, the cost of law enforcement and loss of property due to the criminal conduct of these invaders.
Bush's amnesty plan is also a serious slap in the face to those would-be immigrants who are trying to migrate to America legally. There are thousands of decent, hard working people from around the world who are seeking entrance into the United States. Some of these are seeking political asylum. Some are fleeing persecution. Whatever their reasons, they are following the rules and obeying the laws. Now, they must wait and watch as President Bush pushes criminals to the front of the line.
Furthermore, to grant illegal aliens legal status jeopardizes the security of the United States and makes us more vulnerable to terrorism. The very fact that an illegal alien is here proves that he or she cares nothing for America's laws. It demonstrates an intrinsic callousness that dare not be ignored.
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-CO, rightly said that Bush's plan is "dangerous and unworkable." Investigative Journalist Jon Dougherty also predicts that "sustained high immigration levels from south of the border will continue to pose economic, labor, security, and criminal threats to the United States."
Giving illegal aliens and the corrupt American companies that knowingly accommodate them legitimacy is tantamount to the United States legalizing Al Capone's, or any other gangster's, "underground" enterprises. It is repulsive, disgusting, and unconscionable!
Beyond that, the reason President Bush is attempting to legalize millions of illegal Mexicans seems nothing at all but an undisguised ploy to pick up votes for his reelection. Therefore, it should be obvious to all Americans that this president is willing and eager to put America's future largely in the hands of foreign criminals. Every American should give that thought serious deliberation!

Treason??? Come on. I don't like this crazy plan either, but it does not border on treason. That's just plain nuts.
Bush to Americans: "Read my lips. No new illegals."
There was some goofy university-sponsored "study," a few months back, claiming that political conservatives were just naturally a little... slower than the rest of the population, overall.
Every time I see one of Chuck Baldwin's little heel-drumming tantrums posted on this site: I can't help but be reminded of that, for some reason.
Damn, is this true?
Mr. Baldwin brings up another good point (of many). I didn't recall President Bush mentioning how this would affect others going through the process legally.
Every time I see one of Chuck Baldwin's little heel-drumming tantrums posted on this site: I can't help but be reminded of that, for some reason.I'll say.
Keep your powder dry.
1)It's a proposal. A starting point of the debate, which we desperately need to have.
2)This proposal is not likely to pass this year, if ever.
3) If a bill dealing with immigration ever does emerge from Congress, you can bet there will be a lot of changes and it will not closely resemble this opening proposal. It may emerge better, or worse. The only way for it to get worse is for Democrats to gain control of Congress and the WH.
I am not saying Bush shouldn't be taken to task for some of what's here. But we all know that Bush is pretty adept at strategery.
Dang, all our conservative heros are traitors! /sarcasm
Some facts about immigrants.
This kind of way over-the-top vitriol and mindless stupidity is no different that what moveon.org and the DU types say and do. I have never heard Chuck Baldwin's program since (as far as I know) it isn't on in the L.A. area. Now I will make a point of NEVER tuning it in even if the opportunity presents itself.
I think I'll tune out...
Its worse than treason... anybody can get away with treason in the US these days... what it is ,,"IS".. a democrat voter registration campaign.. Bush is a very special republican to do that... a unite'er not a divider and a compassionate "conservative... -AND- the republican party may even survive it.. albeit not as it was before.. but don't quote me on that
According to the way history is playing out here, this guy could be considered a visionary.
You fell into that trap that once they obtain this "temporary work visa" they're automatically citizens. This work visa is not a drivers license, nor is it a voter card. Many states require drivers licenses to vote. The ones held to account are the businesses (large or small) who currently employ ILLEGALS. The ones who want to stay here to make a living will go out and apply for citizenship. The others who possess the card will get kicked the hell out by the business owner who hired them and the US government who granted the card, once the card expires. If the business owner doesn't kick them out, the US Government will penalize them and the illegal with the expired card.

"Online purchase. Can tell just by walking around the house they won't get much use. The beads are a little stiff, but will loosen up once worn a few times I'm sure. My real concern is the "hard plastic" pieces that poke at the tender part on the inside of each foot! I tried adjusting them to no avail. It is easy to see the simple design fix. Cute sandals, but not worth the price (and eventual cuts & blisters)!"

Very Disappointed
"Unfortunately I did the cardinal sin when I was in the store and didn't try on both sandals. I realized that the top straps were at different lengths...right side loose but comfortable enough and left side so tight that I couldn't even get my foot through. If that wasn't an issue I think they might have been rather comfortable. On a side note...the store was awesome about it!"

Not for me
"I will just say that this shoe is not for me. Although I like the bead work, the cushion is just too soft and doesn't offer the support that I would like to feel."
By: Beasknees

"Just got these yesterday and am thrilled! They are cute and the beading is kind of hippie dippie (in a great way) and really cute. I am sure they will be comfy- they are flip flops!"

Rita (Rutledge) Stone
Rita (Rutledge) Stone walked into Heaven on Dec. 26, 2013. There she will join her husband Glenn, to whom she was happily married for 53 years. Rita was born Feb. 1, 1936 to Harper and Elsie Rutledge in Cortez, Colo. and raised in Oakland, Calif.
Rita met Glenn in 1956 and they were married in Aztec, N.M. They were blessed with five daughters.
After living in several places they settled in Gallup, N.M., raised their family and ran a business for 37 years. During this time she learned to play golf, a sport that she dearly loved.
On an October evening in 1984 Rita and Glenn were involved in an auto accident that left Rita paralyzed. Due to health reasons they moved to Las Cruces, N.M. in 2004.
Rita is survived by her daughters: Diana (Chuck) Forney of Flower Mound, TX, Julie (Dennis) Woods of Las Cruces, N.M., Lori Bowers of Las Cruces, N.M., Lisa (Ron) Gordon of Albuquerque, N.M., and Melanie (Dennis) Skersick of Gallup, N.M., 13 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren, sister Loy Ann (Wayne) Kenyon of Cortez, Colo. and several nieces and nephews.
Rita was preceded in death by her parents Harper and Elsie Rutledge and her husband Glenn. Funeral services and interment will take place on Jan. 3, 2014 at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Las Cruces, N.M. at 11 a.m.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to: Mesilla Valley Hospice, 299 East Montana Las Cruces, N.M. 88005


text: Child Life Services at SurgEase No matter the child's age, arriving at the hospital for surgery can be scary—especially if he or she is unsure of what to expect. A Child Life Specialist can ease these fears by preparing children and families for what will happen before, during and after surgery. Research has shown that when children are prepared for upcoming procedures, they have less preoperative anxiety and better outcomes after surgery.

2014 NHL Draft Midseason Top 5: Who Will The Flames Land?
Christian Roatis
January 15 2014 07:18AM
pic via: TheWorldOfJuniorHockey
The saying "it's been tough sledding" has been all too true in
The cause for these struggles is obvious - the roster stinks, thanks to the rebuild, which also stinks. There's lots of losing and frustration and yelling "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST SCORE!!". The one positive afforded by a rebuild however, is that the team undergoing it is gifted with a nice and early selection in that years Entry Draft. This luxury is no different for the Flames, who are poised to make the earliest selection in franchise history this June in
The 2014 Draft has been pegged by some experts as "poor", which in my honest opinion is not true. 2014 does lack the incredible depth of exceptional talent at the top of it's prospect pool that the 2013 Draft had, however the depth of quality players is still very much there. To sprinkle in some positivity and sunshine into your Flames fan life, here's a look at who the Flames could bag come June, ranked in the order I have them on my list:
1. Aaron Ekblad, D, OHL
He is in my opinion, the only player in this draft class that has star potential and the clear cut number one. There's an argument to be had for Sam Reinhart, but I see the youngest Reinhart settling in as a good second line center, while Ekblad posses top pairing potential. Also ranked first over at Future Considerations, scouts have raved about this kid long before his draft season. He - like John Tavares before him - received exceptional status to enter the OHL draft as a 15 year old, and went 1st overall to the Barrie Colts in said draft. He impressed right away, holding his own extremely well against men nearly four years his senior and came away with 10 goals and 29 points in 63 games. His numbers have steadily and healthily improved with 34 points in 54 games last season and a remarkable 14 goals and 31 points in 31 games in 2013/14. In addition to this, he wears the "C" in
The man-sized 6-foot-4, 216 pound Ekblad has been compared to the top defenseman selected in last years draft, Seth Jones, with some scouts saying they'd prefer Ekblad over Jones. I wouldn't necessarily go that far with Ekblad, but he's a tremendous prospect nonetheless. Ekblad thrives in all zones as his tremendous size and strength in combination with elite hockey sense permit him to shut down opponents equally as well as scores on them. Along side his booming slapshot, Ekblad is a crisp passer and can quarterback a powerplay with ease. He's absent any glaring weaknesses, although some scouts suggest his skating could use a little refinement. If you're the Calgary Flames, you'd be giddy to snatch up this incredible talent.
Potential: Number One Defenseman
NHL Comparable: Victor Hedman
2. Sam Reinhart, C, WHL
Without a doubt, the best eyes and brain in the draft. No one thinks the game at higher level than Sam Reinhart and his vision is off the charts. He gave fans a glimpse of that in the World Juniors - which he also played as an underager - and does so on a regular basis with the Kootenay Ice of the WHL. In 176 career WHL games Reinhart has a remarkable 199 points, including 50 points in 33 games this year, 16 of those being goals. The issue with Reinhart remains for me however, his ability to translate this high scoring offensive to the pro ranks. He will undoubtedly score, but I don't see him being an elite scorer. A strong two-way center that contributes here and there seems a more likely outcome for the youngest of Paul Reinhart's kids.
Reinhart's ability to slow down the game is truly incredible, as he affords himself enough time to execute whatever he has in mind on nearly every rush. The 6-foot-1, 183 pound center's keen offensive instincts and quick hands allow him to weave into scoring areas with regularity and a solid shot can bury the puck more often than not. The foot speed is also excellent, as you'd expect. Safe to say he'll have no issue getting up and down the ice in the bigs. Would be a solid pick for the Flames, especially if Sean Monahan turns into the top line center he's looking to be. Having a one-two punch up the middle of Monahan and Reinhart would stymie opponents as both take care of their zone but can bury the puck if given the opportunity.
NHL Comparable: Mike Richards
3. Sam Bennett, C/LW, OHL
The 17 year old has made waves this year, in a big way. His 26 goals and 66 points in 40 games leads the Kingston Frontenacs by a 20 point margin. He was also ranked the Top North American Skater by NHL Central Scouting. I'm clearly on a different wave length than NHL CS on the Bennett ranking, but nonetheless, the ranking speaks volumes about the kid. Scouts rave about how his ability to improve his game night after night, possibly part of the reasoning behind NHL CS ranking him tops. If he keeps improving at the pace he is, he could very well overtake Ekblad and Reinhart, but at this point he's a step behind the two.
Bennett is a pure offensive talent with an excellent shot and deceptive speed. He gets his goals through hard work and determination most of the time rather than flashiness. Bennett's primary weakness was identified as being his lack of strength, but he's bulked up considerably of late, tipping the scales at 181-pounds, a respectable number for a 6-foot, 17 year old. Bennett would be another solid, skilled addition to the Flames' prospect core and would continue to solidify that left wing position that already features a wealth of blue-chip prospects including Sven Baertschi, Emile Poirier and Morgan Klimchuck.
Potential: Top 6 Forward, could be top line forward.
NHL Comparable: Chris Kunitz
4. Leon Draisaitl, C/LW, WHL
Draisaitl didn't explode out of the gates this season and lost some attention in the West to Reinhart, who did come out firing on all cylinders. The 6-foot-1, 209 pound Draisaitl however kept steady, piling up points consistently and started gaining some serious attention in the second quarter of the year. He rose to 3rd on Future Considerations' rankings by December - one behind Reinhart - and NHL Central Scouting recently ranked him ahead of both Reinhart and Ekblad, as the 2nd overall North American Skater. Like the Bennett ranking, I disagree with it but nonetheless it speaks volumes of the player. Draisaitl leads the Prince Albert Raiders in scoring by a wide margin with 18 goals and 51 points in 33 games.
His style of play mimics that of Pavel Datysuk almost to a T, although Datsyuk is obviously a much better player. Draisaitl can have the puck on a string on multiple occasions during a shift and his quick hands and shifty movements allow this lingering with the puck to occur without issue. Also like Datysuk, Draisaitl posses a tremendous ability to locate his teammates in obscure areas on the ice and feed them the puck through traffic, making him a valuable weapon on the power play. My only real concern with Draisaitl lies in his foot speed. He has a solid stride and good edge work, but doesn't seem to posses that elite gear where he can blow past a defender. He'd be a valuable addition to a Flames group screaming for skill and could do wonders for an ailing powerplay.
Potential: Top 6 Forward, could be a top line forward.
NHL Comparable: Pavel Datsyuk
5. William Nylander C/RW
One of the biggest fallers from the beginning of the season, Nylander was talked up to be a contender for the 1st overall spot to start the year and has now fallen out of most Top 5's. Plauged by inconsistency, Nylander didn't get off to a strong statistical start this year in the SHL, posting just two helpers in 11 games before being loaned to teams in the AllSVENskan, where he rediscovered his stride. Currently, he has 9 goals and 16 points in 24 Allsvenskan games with two different teams this year.
The 5-foot-10, 170 pound forward can be as dynamic player as there is in the draft when he's own, as he posses incredible skill and offensive ability. Lightning quick hands partner up with his equally quick feet to bolt on defenders and create scoring opportunities. His goal scoring savvy is undeniable but he may be even better suited as a playmaker with elite vision and puck distributing abilities. The only problem is obviously stringing it all together on a consistent basis. With guys like Ekblad and Reinhart who bring it every night, Nylander becomes more of a liability as a top pick in this draft. He is born in
Potential: Top Line Forward, although there is considerable risk.
NHL Comparable: Sven Baertschi, Jiri Hudler
Wild Card: Jake Virtanen, LW, WHL
Without a doubt the biggest Wild Card in the 2014 Draft class. Some nights, he's a man among boys, dominating opponents every which way, imposing his will, while others, you find yourself checking the roster sheet to make sure he's even playing. This inconsistency has been the driving factor behind his erratic rise and fall in draft rankings. One month he's ranked inside the top 10 and then the next he almost plummets out of the Top 30. He had a brutal stretch from the middle of November to early December, which lead to a free fall in the rankings, but has since switched into another gear and is flying full steam. NHL Central Scouting ranked him the 9th overall North American skater, and I would go as far as saying he's a Top 10 overall prospect in this draft. His scoring has also picked up significantly recently and now sits at 26 genos and 42 points in 43 games this year. Some scouts have said it, and having watched him a lot this year I've come to agree, when he's on, Jake Virtanen is the best and most dominant player in this draft. Unfortunately he's not always on and has struggled at times with attitude and work ethic issues, which can be addressed, but are problematic nonetheless.
At 6-foot-1, 209 pounds, Virtanen is one of the fastest skaters in the draft - both forwards and backwards. He proved just that at the CHL Top Prospects combine yesterday finishing as the fastest skater, both forwards and backwards. For a forward of his size, that skating ability is extremely impressive. Virtanen posses good hands and vision but when talking about his offensive tools, it's his shot that is the crown jewel of his arsenal. It seems at times his wrister travels just as fast as his slapper - and that's no knock on his slapshot. Both are rockets. He can deliver bone crushing bodychecks and won't back down from scrapping anyone. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of Jarome Iginla. If the Flames don't get a shot at either Ekblad or Reinhart, I think they'll a long look at Jake Virtanen before they make their up to the podium. He brings a ton to the table, the table just isn't very tidy yet. Sort out any commitment and attitude issues that may exist, and you've got yourself a hell of a player.
Potential: Top Line Forward, considerable risk.
NHL Comparable: Bobby Ryan
The 2014 NHL Draft may not yield as many All-Stars as its predecessor did, but there's no shortage of quality players, even outside the six I listed. Short a miraculous run, the Flames will get to select one of these players in June and will no doubt come away with someone who will impact the organization going forward.
@Christian Roatis
I wasn't very impressed with Dal Colle at all, actually. He has a crazy shot and picked off some passes, but aside from shooting he seemed to have no idea whatsoever what to do with the puck whenever he had it.
I wasn't very impressed with Dal Colle at all, actually. He has a crazy shot and picked off some passes, but aside from shooting he seemed to have no idea whatsoever what to do with the puck whenever he had it.
I agree with this.
Also, I didn't think Reinhart was shut down at all. The guy made something happen almost every shift. You noticed him every shift and he had several moments of brilliance. Plus, he needed that game to improve his draft ranking like he needs another hole in his head. He was probably playing at 80% and still domninated his peers.
@Christian Roatis
Chances, yes. I don't disagree with that. You did see I mentioned his shot, right?
Who was his center/set-up man? Oh yeah...

Women's and Gender Studies 398. Experimental Courses
Love and Marriage
This course explores representations of love and marriage in modern Italian literature and cinema. Through a diverse sample of "high" and popular culture, from 19th century romantic novels to 20th century gothic films, we will examine the cultural and gender anxiety produced by the urbanization process, social change and women's emancipation in modern Italy.
Middle Eastern Cinemas
This seminar examines narrative and documentary feature films by the most prolific and groundbreaking filmmakers of the Middle East from the past seventy years. Giving particular attention to the work of women filmmakers, our objective will be to understand how film has been used to craft cinematic representations of everyday life in Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Palestine/Israel, Syria and Lebanon. In this course we will consider how narrative, cinematography, and sound come together in a range of approaches to critique, contradict, and comment on historical events and political realities. An exploration of themes of humor, romantic love, family history, and political violence will be weaved throughout the course.
Black Feminist Theory
The class will examine critical and theoretical issues in Black feminism from the 1960s to the present, focusing on the influential contemporary Black feminist intellectual tradition that emerged in the 1970s. From this perspective, students will explore certain themes and topics, such as work, family, politics and community, through reading the writings of Black feminists. We will also study the ways in which women and men have worked together, toward the eradication of race and gender inequality, among other systems of oppression, which have historically subjugated Black women. Although emphasis will be placed on Black feminist traditions in the United States, at the end of the semester we will consider Black feminism in global perspective.

Virgin Blue & Europcar Renew Winning Partnership28/04/2005
Award winning low fare airline Virgin Blue and quality low rate car rental company Europcar have taken their existing partnership to a new level, today signing a contract to extend the relationship for another two years.
Since 2002, Virgin Blue and Europcar have worked closely together to offer Virgin Blue Guests special car rental rates on all Europcar vehicles.
The ongoing commitment from both parties is testimony to the success of the partnership with Virgin Blue. Guests have shown great enthusiasm for taking advantage of the great car hire rates to continue their travels in Europcar vehicles once they land at their destination.
Virgin Blue Chief Commercial Officer, Stefan Pichler said, "Virgin Blue is excited to be continuing this partnership for its Guests, who have benefited from attractive reduced rates on the road as well as in the air. As an airline we have spread our wings to many regional destinations but we also realise our Guests appreciate an affordable road trip option to further enhance their holiday or business trip with Virgin Blue."
Europcar has team members and vehicles at all Virgin Blue ports to streamline the process from aircraft cabin to car.
Europcar Asia Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Doug Hunt, said that renewing the preferred operator partnership with Virgin Blue continued an important at-airport customer service stream around Australia.
"We welcome the new agreement because air travel and car rental go hand-in-hand, for both business and leisure travellers," said Mr Hunt. "Both businesses have a lot in common and a great deal of energy, therefore the relationship is strong and will continue to grow."
With Europcar coming on line in New Zealand and Fiji, Europcar has also maintained its relationship with Pacific Blue Airlines to provide International travellers with the same benefits as domestic flyers", Mr Hunt said.
To celebrate the renewed partnership and to thank customers for their support, Europcar has a special promotional offer for Virgin Blue Guests of $39 per day car rental for the entire month of May (conditions apply).

Hot Harry at Beach Volleyball

What will we do when the Olympics are over? I love it so much I watch every event. Even the super-obscure ones. What will we do when there's nothing on TV anymore? What will we do when Hot Harry isn't out everyday?
Right now, as of this writing, Harry and I are watching the exact same thing: the Women's Beach Volleyball Final. Go Kerri and Misty!
Harry always said he wanted to attend this event. Of course, this event. Beach Volleyball is a total party. I just wish they would cut to him more often when the music is pumping and he's bobbing around in his seat.

Taking off weight is equivalent to applying a force equivalent to that of gravity and applying it in the opposite direction. It doesn't have to necessarily point to density.
If put that way (i.e. as a force based on an object's weight applied in the opposite direction), both momentum and kinetic energy can be cancelled. Impulse (Force applied over time) cancels momentum. That means a cancellation of velocity, which in turn causes kinetic energy to be reduced to zero.

Julia Tubman, conservator, British Museum
My last blog post recounted the excavation of bags 5 and 6 of the Beau Street hoard, which were the two smallest bags on the edge of the large hoard. In the months since, the deconstruction of the hoard has advanced considerably: as the excavation progressed I naturally became faster and more confident in removing the coins, and am pleased to announce the end of this stage of the project. The hoard was well organised, with the coins carefully sorted into bags according to denomination and level of debasement; specialists here at the British Museum now have a fascinating mystery to interpret.
In total eight bags were found in the hoard, which is two more than originally identified in the x-ray. Squeezed between the larger 'bag 2' and the centre of the hoard were two tiny bags, the coins of which are very similar to those contained within bag 2 – small radiate coins minted by Gallienus, Claudius Gothicus and Tetricus I.
Luckily, at the end of the excavation I was able to lift the large, central moneybag (known as bag '4'), whole, as I had removed all of the bags of coins surrounding it. The excellent preservation of this moneybag, which weighs nearly 11 kilograms, presents us with a very exciting opportunity. Already a laser scan of the bag has been undertaken to produce a rotating three-dimensional image, and a second scan will be taken before the end of the year which will be used to produce a facsimile to go on display in Bath. These scans provide us with a lasting document of the moneybag, which will now be de-constructed and the coins cleaned.
The block was x-rayed before the excavation of the moneybags, and so the base holding the coins had to be x-rayed after the removal of the last bag, to check that there were no 'surprise' bags beneath those already excavated. The x-ray showed only a few coins on the periphery of the base, and so we can move towards giving a final count for the number of coins in the hoard as a whole: at the moment it looks to be around half of the original estimate of 30,000.
Now the excavation is complete, I will be fully focused on getting all of the coins cleaned so that they can be identified by numismatists, who will begin to compile an 'Emperor count'.
We knew at the beginning of the project that this would be a short excavation, and the perfect opportunity to experiment with time-lapse photography. Before I began the excavation, a camera was positioned on a workbench above the hoard, and programmed to take a photograph of the stationary block every 10 minutes. This short video neatly captures the deconstruction of the hoard, and makes for a fantastic record of the excavation.
On Friday 30 November, Stephen Clews from the Roman Baths, British Museum curators Richard Abdy and Eleanor Ghey, and I will be discussing the story of the Beau Street Hoard so far in a lecture at the British Museum.

The very dangerous sink hole, about 30 feet in diameter and at least 25 feet deep that was discovered on the San Rafael in April has now been filled. It was determined to be an old mine shaft which water had gotten into and caved in creating a hazardous hole to the surface.
A group of off highway vehicle riders found the hole and notified the Bureau of Land Management, who controls most of the land in the San Rafael. The BLM fenced the area to prevent anyone from getting close and it was just recently filled.

The agreement is a response to the realization that mercury pollution is a global problem that no one country can solve alone. The convention was four years in the making, with morethan 130 nations agreeing by consensus to a final text in January 2013. It includes both compulsory and voluntary measures to control mercury emissions from various sources, to phase the element out of certain products and industrial processes, to restrict its trade, and to eliminate mining of it.
Mercury is a global pollutant of growing concern. As an elemental gas, mercury is eligible for long-range transportation meaning local sources of mercury emissions have a global impact. Upon arrival to lakes and aquatic ecosystems, bacteria are responsible for converting oxidized mercury into methylmercury, a potent neurotoxin. Methylmercury can then bioaccumulate in fish and biomagnify, posing the most risks to large predatory fish that are consumed by humans.
Even children's toys can be sources of toxic chemicals and metals. Early this year, IPEN and GRID-Arendal jointly published a shocking report, Toxic metals in children's products: an insight into the market in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia, which revealed that approximately 30% of toys tested from Eastern Europe and Central Asian countries contained at least one toxic metal where 3% exceeded the limit for mercury. Moreover, in some products, the mercury limit was exceeded by more than 170 times.
A recent report prepared by GRID-Arendal for UNEP, Mercury: Time To Act, identified global sources of mercury and assessed their impacts on human health. The publication revealed that artisanal and small-scale gold mining together with coal combustion contribute to approximately 61% of total annual anthropogenic emissions of mercury to the air. GRID-Arendal is also preparing another report for UNEP focusing on efforts aimed at reducing demand and phasing out mercury containing products in the hopes to reduce the amount of mercury reaching the environment.

Why don't we take advantage of what we have?
Why does it take an out of town guest to get me out of my routine? And why does it take so long for me to get back into it?
Basically, I live 22 blocks from the beach. I really don't understand why is it so hard for me to zip there to watch the waves crashing on the beach when I have a free hour, or two. Instead I squander my free time by checking facebook updates or reading the New York Times online.

Not as expected
"I expected the shoe to have a nearly patent-leather gloss, but the finish and print was more like bad fake leather. I'm also somewhere between 8.5 - 9 depending on the shoe, and this one was too large. So it is either true-to-size or slightly long."
