Suburban Poverty In a lot of cities, including Sacramento, San Francisco and Stockton, the number of people living in poverty is higher in the suburbsthan the inner cities. There are a lot of complicated reasons for that, not just that some of the poorer inner-city people have moved outward. Alan Berube is a senior fellow & deputy director at the Brookings Institution and he' co-authored a new book called "Confronting Suburban Poverty in America."
In the original interview, guest host Rick Kushman mistakenly identified the oganization sponsoring the event. Alan Berube spoke to the Sierra Health Foundation.

Cost of Being Unhealthy Being unhealthy isn't just bad for your body, it can be a drain on the economy. One report found cardiovascular diseases like heart disease and congestive heart failure cost California more than a $1 billion in Medicaid treatments for a single year. The answer to the problem sounds basic enough, make society healthier. But as our guests explain, being healthy in modern society takes constant vigilance and a little planning. They'll explain what's at stake, not only for yourself, but for society as a whole.

News Network As Sacramento prepares to subsidize a new sports and entertainment complex at one end of the city's famous downtown K Street, another heavily subsidized public work sits in question at the other end. A new report from watchdog group Eye on Sacramento found that the Sacramento Convention Center relies heavily on hotel taxes and has lost more than $200 million since 1999. But city officials contend the convention center is an economic driver. We'll talk about it with Raheem Hosseini of the Sacramento News & Review, who has recently written an article on the convention center's fiscal standing. We're also joined by Sacramento Press Editor Jared Goyette, who is the sole paid employee at his publication after recent downsizing. Goyette will discuss Sacramento Press' struggle with unpaid citizen journalism.

Deaf-REACH's HIV Prevention Program Speaks the Deaf Community's Language
November 25, 2013
Did you know that people who are deaf or hard of hearing are two to four times more likely to contract HIV than their hearing counterparts? That's just one of many facts that Sylvie Soulier shares in this enlightening interview about Deaf-REACH, a community-based organization in Washington, D.C. Aside from its mental health and other services for deaf communities, Deaf-REACH also has an HIV prevention component, which Soulier and her team manage.
Think about it: When visiting the doctor, do you need an interpreter? Are you viewed solely as a condition with which you were born? Are your parents or friends unable to talk to you freely and easily about sex? How do you tell the guy at 7-Eleven to get you some condoms from inside the glass case when your first language is American Sign Language? These and other issues could stand in the way of "getting to zero" in the deaf community, but Soulier and Deaf-REACH are on the front lines of making sure deaf communities get the appropriate prevention outreach they need.
Can you start off by telling us about how Deaf-REACH began, and what services you offer now?
Deaf-REACH is a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1972. We offer services such as employment, a day rehabilitation program, group homes, and the HIV program. We also do community support, offering services out in the community for the deaf. We started because deaf consumers were being sent to St. Elizabeth's, which is a hospital in D.C. for the mentally ill, and they were basically just staying there. And so Deaf-REACH was incorporated in 1972.
How long has your HIV prevention program been around?
It was established in 2001, but the funding has been a little off and on. So, it's probably been consistent since about 2005, but it was established in 2001.
Were you around for the genesis of the program?
No. I was not. I was with a similar program in Maryland that did HIV prevention for the deaf.
Were you involved in HIV services first? Or did you come to deaf activism first?
Deaf activism. I got my master's degree from Gallaudet University, which is the only liberal arts university for the deaf in the world. I then applied for a job as director for an HIV prevention program in Maryland, and got into HIV, and realized that, according to studies, deaf people are actually two to four times more likely to get HIV than their hearing counterparts. And that's when I became really involved in trying to open up the dialogue around HIV within the deaf community.
Just to get that correctly: You said that people who are deaf are two to four times more likely to get HIV than their hearing counterparts?
Yes -- and that's based on statistics collected in Maryland. Maryland is the only state in the country that asks hearing status on their HIV encounter forms.
We've asserted many times that, if other states could start collecting the data, we would be able to have a better snapshot of what HIV looks like for the deaf, in general.
How does Deaf-REACH go about doing outreach to deaf communities?
Our primary services are free HIV testing; HIV education, individual and group; outreach at local events, which involves safe sex kit distributions; counseling referrals; and we have also adapted Safe in the City, which is the CDC's intervention that is about condom negotiation. A few years ago we adapted that and hired deaf actors, and now it's totally in American Sign Language (ASL). So we show that as part of our HIV 101 intervention.
As far as outreach, we also go to Gallaudet University, which, as I mentioned earlier, is the only liberal arts university for the deaf in the world, and it happens to be in Washington, D.C., conveniently.
Basic Questions and Answers About HIV/AIDS (American Sign Language)
I started learning sign language in high school and then got my undergrad degree in ASL with a minor in interpreting; and then my master's from Gallaudet in deaf studies, with a focus in deaf history, and just went from there.
While I was at Gallaudet, I worked as a resident adviser (RA) and noticed that there were no condom services. Even the RAs weren't allowed to give out condoms. And if you imagine youth, or college-age kids, going to buy condoms in D.C.: We have the glass windows at the gas stations or 7-Elevens. It's hard enough for a hearing person to negotiate buying condoms, because the person at the store has to come out from behind the glass and then go and open up the cabinet that has the condoms in it. But for a deaf person that's manual, that's not oral at all, to also have to negotiate that is extremely difficult and complicated.
We also discuss how to negotiate purchasing condoms, and try to make condoms readily available. We have a student representative at Gallaudet that always has condoms. She calls herself the Condom Fairy. She decorates her door with them. So students can just walk by and take one down.
That's great.
At Gallaudet we also have drunk goggles that we use as kind of an intervention to just make it more light: There are the deadly vision goggles, and kids may say, "Yeah, I'm such an expert at putting on a condom; I know how to do it." We'll say, "OK, well, sometimes if you're drunk, you can be a little impaired." We'll have them put on the condoms and say, "OK, you're supposed to feel for air, check the expiration date, put it on." That gives them another perspective.
We try to think creatively about how to engage. And then we also incentivize a lot. Having shirts and making other visual materials -- since the deaf community is so visual, we try to do everything bilingual. We have a video in ASL that also has a transcribed version.

Leader Pleads Guilty in Bank Fraud Scheme
Baltimore, Maryland - Lemoyne Veney, age 44, of Clarksville, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to bank fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Robert Jasinski of the United States Secret Service – Baltimore Field Office; and Harford County Sheriff L. Jesse Bane. According to his plea agreement, from November 2007, through February 2011, Veney conspired with Theresa Smithrick, Kevin Pittman, and others in a scheme to use stolen personal identifying information (PII) to fraudulently obtain money from financial institutions. Specifically, in 2010 Veney met Smithrick, who was employed as a clerk at the Baltimore City District Court. Veney asked Smithrich to help him to gather personal identifying information, which she agreed to do. On approximately eight occasions, Veney gave Smithrick a sheet with eight to 10 names and accompanying PII, with some blank PII fields missing, such as driver's license number, date of birth, or middle name. Smithrick completed the missing fields by accessing a secure Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration database and faxed the completed sheets to another co-conspirator, as directed by Veney. The co-conspirator who received the completed sheets bartered with Veney and agreed to provide driver's licenses to Veney in exchange for the PII. In turn, Veney and other co-conspirators used the stolen PII, as well as the counterfeit driver's licenses, to perpetuate the scheme.
Veney also created false businesses and supporting business documents, which he shared with his co-conspirators, including Kevin Pittman, so that he and his co-conspirators might incorporate some of the fraudulent businesses with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation ("MDAT") and other states' departments of state. Veney and a co-conspirator would either sell the business information to others, or keep the information and attempt to establish related business checking accounts.
For example, Veney provided Pittman with fake identification, counterfeit supporting business documents, and counterfeit checks that Veney made in his home, which contained the stolen PII of unwitting victims but the pictures of Veney, Pittman and other conspirators. Pittman then used the counterfeit documents and compromised identities provided by Veney to incorporate fraudulent businesses. Veney also established matching business checking accounts for those fraudulent businesses for use in the scheme. Veney drove Pittman to various financial institutions in Frederick, Columbia and other locations in Maryland, where Pittman used the fake documents to open business and personal bank accounts. Pittman deposited the counterfeit business checks into these fraudulently opened bank accounts, then withdrew the funds before the checks could be identified as fraudulent. Pittman was paid a commission for each transaction. Veney also drove Pittman to supermarkets, where they cashed counterfeit checks, or purchased gift cards and other merchandise, with counterfeit checks drawn on real persons' accounts, using the fraudulent identification documents provided by Veney as proof of identity.
As a result of the scheme, more than 50 victims lost a total of at least $70,000.
Veney faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison for the bank fraud conspiracy and a mandatory two years in prison, consecutive to any other sentence, for aggravated identity theft. U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett scheduled sentencing for May 22, 2013 at 3:00 p.m.
Theresa Smithrick age 47, of Baltimore, and Kevin Pittman, now using the name "Breona Pittman," age 33, of Chesapeake, Virginia, both previously pleaded guilty to their roles in the scheme and are scheduled to be sentenced on April 29, 2013 and May 1, 2013, respectively.
Today's announcement is part of efforts underway by President Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices and state and local partners, it's the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions and other organizations. Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice Department has filed more than 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants including more than 2,700 mortgage fraud defendants. For more information on the task force, visit www.stopfraud.gov.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the U.S. Secret Service and Harford County Sheriff's Office for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein praised Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark W. Crooks, who is prosecuting the case.

Poetry in Motion
When I first looked at the workshop title all I saw was poetry and it sparked my interest, but when they started to explain what it was about, a whole new side of things came out. Being a child who grew up with both my parents in a safe and nurturing environment, thoughts of pain and suffering from being without them never crossed my mind. I listened to Shelly Johnson, the former CEO of Surrounded by Cedar, talk of a girl who had been in foster care since she was a baby and how she went thru 64 foster homes in 16 years, she is currently incarcerated. It is said that for every foster move there is 6 months of suffering for a child.
Jessica Stephens, of Surrounded by Cedars CFS, and her mom Kathy Robinson, also presented. Jessica talked about the spiritual side of the program, the kids finding themselves thru smudging, prayers, and dancing, with masks and skins, all of which give strength and emotional healing. She teaches the children about balance, balance with mother earth, and how she has 4 directions, seasons, nations, moon cycles, life cycles, elements and the power that the 4 has in balancing us. The program inspires courage and strength within the children because it engages them fully in the learning process, participation and inclusion of the children is a key element to success, making them feel safe and comfortable in their environment.
The Child, Family, and Community Services Act stresses the importance of preserving the child's cultural identity, as well talks about their best interest being priority meaning their safety, development, quality and maintenance of relationships, views, and cultural heritage, no where does it talk about making their education a priority. The outcome is horrific, 80% of child-in-care do not graduate, 13% graduate with a certificate and only 7% are post secondary ready, of the 9400 BC children in care only 1.4% are prepared when they leave high school. Not only does it show educational precedence but it also reflects the parenting skills.
The Life Books provide an opportunity to offer children and family a visual history of their lives, there are two different books, Creating a Path for aboriginal children and My Journey for non-aboriginal children. Encouraging people to use the books, Surrounded by Cedar hopes that they will help build a strong sense of personal history and identity for the children. Their intention is to create different educational experiences, increased sense of positive identity and belonging, and restored self-esteem and hope, while attempting to change the emotional response towards school and education within communities that will have a positive future impact leading the way to educational success for children-in-care.

At tonight's state of the county Ed Mangano announced the winner of the two proposals for the Mitchell Fields Development. He decided to by pass the proposal by the Rough Riders soccer team that offer the county a 3,000 seat outdoor arena and a 10,000 seat arena/convent center. Instead he selected:
Mangano also disclosed that Nassau Sports and Events LLC has won a bid to build a 105,000-square-foot exposition center at the Mitchel Field Athletic Complex in Uniondale . The plan calls for multipurpose fields, basketball and volleyball courts, a rock-climbing wall, a laser tag area and a fitness center.This may not be much, but by not selecting the proposal that could offer a smaller replacement for the Nassau Coliseum it seems like Magano is holding out hope that the county will keep the Islanders.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
"It only takes a little bit of imagination to link Bible stories with movie plots," Raveh said at a seminar entitled "Who Is a Hero?" at the Yad Ben Tzvi Institute in Jerusalem. For example, there is The Godfather trilogy (1972, 1974, 1990), the blockbuster Mafia epics directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Raveh says the plot is inspired by the story of King Solomon in the First Book of Kings, chapter 2. In true biblical style, when Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino) takes over as the head of the "family" following the death of his father, Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), he not only settles scores with his enemies, but even has his own brother executed for turning against him.
"When King Solomon inherited his father's kingdom," says Raveh," he not only fulfilled King David's request to kill his general, Joab [because he had murdered the generals Avner and Amasa], but he also had his own brother Adonijah executed for attempting to usurp the kingdom. In addition, Solomon had Shimei, a descendant of Saul, killed because he had cursed David; and he exiled the High Priest Eviathar [because he had sided with Adonijah]. You might even say that Al Pacino is a bit weak when it comes to mirroring the role of the biblical King Solomon." Anyone who is acquainted with Scripture will find biblical plots, references and themes in many films. The Bible is filled with exciting stories and events that provide writers and filmmakers with plenty of material and insight.

Hiking the Appalachian Trail: A Journey of Five Million Strides Begins With a Single Footstep
In a few short weeks, Matt Baer and Garrett Seibert, buddies since high school, will drive to Springer Mountain, Ga., strap on backpacks and start walking north.
With good planning, good weather and good luck they hope to scale Mount Katahdin in Maine some five months, 2,184 miles and 5 million footsteps later.
"It's something I've been dreaming about for years," Matt told me the other day, describing his goal to hike the Appalachian Trail, one of the world's most venerable and celebrated footpaths.
The 21-year-old East Lyme resident, who graduated from East Lyme High School in 2009 and last year earned a degree in recreation, adventure travel and ecotourism from Paul Smith's College in upstate New York, eventually hopes to work as a guide. Garrett, 22, originally from Salem, graduated from East Lyme High in 2008 and went on to earn a similar degree from New Hampshire's Plymouth State University. He now works as an instructor at an adventure camp in California and plans to return to his job in September after finishing the trail.
Though the pair began seriously planning the hike about a year ago, the seed was planted some seven years earlier when Matt and his family were hiking up Mount Greylock in Massachusetts.
"We met a couple of through-hikers (trekkers hoping to cover the entire AT) and I remember thinking, 'One day I'm going to do that.'"
It's a dream many hikers share but relatively few try to fulfill. Every year a couple thousand set out on the AT – most, like Matt and Garrett, taking the northbound route – and statistically, about one in four succeeds. Some "flip-flop" directions because of cold weather at either end, or "section-hike" depending on trail conditions, but Matt and Garrett hope to through-hike, averaging about 15 miles a day.
Since the trail was completed in 1937, more than 13,000 hikers have hiked the entire route.
Matt and Garrett have hiked mostly up North, including the Adirondacks of New York and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, though Garrett did one 100-mile hike in New Mexico. He also has climbed 20 of New England's 4,000-foot-plus mountains, including Katahdin, the northern terminus of the AT. Matt's longest backpacking trip was a week in Maine's Acadia National Park, but he has climbed the Presidential Range in the Whites as well as 30 of New York's 4,000-footers.
It's a big jump, going from relatively short outings to more than five months of relentless pounding over challenging terrain, but both are confident and eager to get started.
"I'm looking forward to warm sunny days on the ridges, enjoying that sense of freedom of being outside," Matt said. That, of course, can't always be guaranteed.
"My biggest fear is days and days of rain. It can get miserable," he added.
Garrett said he is excited about hiking in parts of the country he hasn't visited, and by the prospect of meeting new people on the trail.
Both plan to keep their pack weight under 30 pounds, and are preparing to mail food packages to seven or eight post offices along the way. The rest of the time they will have to resupply every few days.
They also will carry an ultra-light tent that is basically just a thin tarp supported by trekking poles, and will forgo a water filter in favor of purification tablets.
The pair expects to each go through about five pairs of lightweight hiking shoes, though the April 1 start at Springer Mountain will require the use of heavier boots because of the likelihood of snow and ice on the trail.
"I'm hoping most of it will be gone by then," Matt said.
He also will bring a Kindle on which he has downloaded the necessary guidebooks and trail maps (they will carry paper copies as a backup), and both plan to bring their cellphones.
Matt and Garrett promised to check in from time to time, and I'll keep you posted periodically on their progress.
Good luck, guys. I hope I get to see you when you make it up North this summer, either along the Connecticut section of the AT or to some of my favorite stomping grounds in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Friends I know who have completed the AT say everybody takes away something different from the experience, but they all agree their lives are forever richer. It should indeed be the trip of a lifetime.

Like a good coffee, Hipster Home offers the Hill a fresh, smooth and colorful blend of modern home furnishings and accessories. Nestled at the corner of Southampton and Germantown avenues, Hipster Home comfortably meshes with the Hill's homey stores.
There's more than an energetic vibe buzzing in Hipster Home, too. The only local distributor for large, full-surround-sound-capable Geneva Sound Systems, Hipster Home caters to music buffs and interior design enthusiasts alike, and for a reasonable tab.
The smaller Geneva products, complete with FM radio and docking station, are similar to ones found at Apple stores. The larger systems, however, are held in a piano lacquered wood that delivers pristine sound tracks.
According to co-owner Lindsay Herman, "The lacquered wood finish delivers a nice, rich sound."
Hipster Home also boasts a partnered collection of Umbra home furnishings and accessories. Recently added to the Canadian company's list of business partners, Hipster Home turns to Umbra for its home essentials.
Serving Pennsylvania as the only Umbra dealer in the state means having a collection of its most popular products at an affordable price. Hipster Home does just that. Its selection of Umbra products covers basic home essentials and interest pieces.
"I like [Umbra's] aesthetic and they have great price points," Herman added.
Despite its unique aesthetic, Umbra is adaptable to any home's theme. Rooms don't have to reflect Umbra's vibrant color palette either. Bright colored household accents spruce up any neutral scheme without clashing – a staple of Hipster Home's décor collection.
"Neutral anchor pieces are always forgiving to colorful accents that you can always change," Herman said.
Umbra, as well as Hipster Home's other products, appears to be successful in Chestnut Hill. The Hill offers Hipster Home some distance from big name companies like Target and Walmart, which would distract customers from its everyday household products. Herman said she was excited with the store's new location and how it benefits its line of everyday essentials.
"We used to have a Target down the street, so people didn't stop in looking for a trash can," Herman said. "We also encourage people to let us know if there's something they can't find, and we'll look for it in the store."
While Herman and co-owner Dave Friday continue to feel out their new clientele, some products will fit into any home – modern, Victorian, large or lofty.
Hipster Home's furniture includes products from Gus Modern, a Canadian design team that recently launched a new line called "The Loft Series," which features pieces that work in spaces that aren't forgiving to bigger furniture.
According to Herman, Gus Modern's "top sellers were scaled down without losing the aesthetic of their larger counterpart."
Hipster Home showcases GM's staple Loft Series piece, "Jane." As opposed to some sectionals that only allow the extra section to be on one side of the seating area, "Jane's" section can be placed on either side of the sofa to best fit your space.
Herman said the piece "has a low profile and can be adjusted to any space."
"Since it's been scaled down, if you have the space for a small couch, you can also have room for a sectional," she explained.
Though Hipster Home showcases the petite frame of the Loft-Jane, it also offers furniture options for larger spaces, including bar stools, chairs and larger sectionals.
Among its other products are DeckStools, a dismantled skateboard redesigned as a trendy stool.
"The decks are used as the legs of stool and are held together by the trucks," Herman said.
Pieces like the DeckStools succeed in Hipster's new home on the Hill, and it seems to stem from a more diverse and denser community.
While Phoenixville offered Hipster Home a foundation to kick-start its trendy business, the Chestnut Hill location has been just the change Herman and Friday needed.
"We wanted to turn the page," Herman said. "It was easy in Phoenixville because we had a big store, but now we have the business. We had to move to a place with more population density.
We love the corner and especially all the windows."
Herman talked about her excitement for the success of corner exposure, crediting the Hill's neighborhood friendliness with a smooth transition to the Hill.
"We get people that come in looking for Host, and some people that stop in just to welcome us to the area," she said. "It's great – just a great vibe."
Happy to be in Chestnut Hill, Herman spoke about how the community's interest in Hipster Home products offer the company more freedom when choosing what lines to feature in the store.
"We're able to test new things with business," said Herman, speaking of her interest in introducing some Alessi products to the store.
According to Herman, Alessi is "more like collector's items as opposed to every day essentials."
"It's a line I'd really like to get," she added.
As with any collector's line, Alessi comes with a refined price tag, but the dynamic of residents' needs would seem to bode well for a line like Alessi.
"Hipster" conceptions aside, Hipster Home caters to a realistic budget for locals without sacrificing an aesthetic or a unique item in the store.
That big blue chair that greets customers, for instance, isn't a child's toy. It's a solid plastic chair, handmade in Italy with a $900 price tag on it.
"We like to keep an eye on price points" said Herman, who later joked about the Italian chair, "but we have our favorite items that just can't go."
Hipster Home offers inexpensive home accessories for college students, families, and singletons alike. Ranging from clever note pad collections to artsy wall décor and a growing bath and children's section, Hipster Home completes any list for at home needs.
One thing's certain: Hipster Home's products don't alienate certain customers the way that other "modern" home furnishing stores do.
"Some people get worried when they hear modern," Herman said, "but it's nothing to worry about. We offer clean lines and color – a nice contrast to a [non-modern] Victorian home."
The store also encourages everyone to shop for home accessories.
"We make the store comfortable for all age groups – men and women," Herman said.
Customers also don't have to be young, modern enthusiasts to enjoy Hipster Home's merchandise.
"[Our name] was a take on being hip five years ago," said Herman, noting that Hipster Home doesn't reflect "hipster" anti-trends as portrayed in popular culture or a cheap alternative to expensive looks. Instead, Hipster Home continues to market a flattering and adaptable aesthetic over a multi-budget foundation.
"We're a contemporary home furnishings and accessories store," Herman said. "So, we're modern – it's just what we prefer."

Dearest friends, it is I, the Duke of DVD, once more entering into sexual congress with all that is MAD in cinema, an unholy coupling that will spawn wretched, unnameable things best put down with alacrity, lest they grow in power and finally destroy the world in a black tempest of wanton deviancy.

I've made profane trades with entities whose names I cannot commit to this page, in exchange for the best of the worst, the sort of movies that burrow under your flesh and deposit night-black eggs, which gestate unknown to you, until such time as you are devoured from within, your eyes becoming black orbs as your tongue swells, your sphincter loosens, and blackened blood pours from your gaping mouth.
I do this, my friends, so that you don't have to. So that you may sit in your mud-dobbed hovels, a sheep's-dung fire warming your wizened, twisted hands as you gulp down the few spoonfuls of watery gruel that serve as your only meal that day. Knowing that a glimpse of my written word is the only thing sustaining your will to live, I take it as a sacred duty to risk life and limb in order to procure movies to watch that no mere human is capable of. What monstrosity do I have for you today?
Journey with me, let us find out... (MORE MADNESS)
Today's brilliant masterpiece comes to us from the studio known for brilliant masterpieces: TROMA! That's right friends, the Duke is once again traipsing down that sunny, rainbow-hued hallway that is Tromaville, my face stuck in a grim rictus as clowns are sodomized and fetuses explosively abort before my unblinking eyes. I can't look away, and neither should you, oh no! Let the filth and badassery wash over you in a wave of uncontrolled ecstasy.
|Schooooool's Out For-EVAH!
There's Nothing Out There!, directed by Rolfe Kanefsky, is a pioneering movie, my friends. A full 6 years before Scream, Nothing featured a character whose knowledge of horror movies not only helps save the day, but a few of his friends as well. I'm getting ahead of myself, though. Let's start from the beginning.
The movie opens in a place none of us will ever set foot in again, unless we're visiting inner Cambodia: a VHS rental shop. A mousy girl named Sally is working the counter when a masked robber enters the store and begins chasing her. Somehow (it's not clearly shown or explained) she gets tangled up in VHS tape, which has come unspooled...somehow. She falls out the back door in an attempt to escape both the assault and the tape tangle, and we're led to believe she gets hung by the tape during the fall. All of this is for naught, though, as we cut to see it was all a dream, and Sally is merely falling asleep while driving at night on a dirt road out in the boonies!
She of course runs off the road and hits a tree. She appears to be unharmed for the moment, as both she and we watch a glowing green ball descend from the sky and land in a nearby mud puddle. Out of the puddle comes our film's alien menace, which basically consists of a giant mouth, two eyes, and two long tentacles. It moves itself along the ground by scooting. It wastes no time checking out the planet it just landed on and instead tries to kill Sally. We cut away, so more about Sally later.
|Mike demonstrates his "O" face before a horrified audience.
It's the start of summer, and a bunch of horny teens sit on the edges of their seats, watching the clock count down the final seconds until summer break. Quicker than you can say "Wake me up before you GO-GO!" the bell rings and they are out the door!
A small group of friends quickly hatch a plan to stay a few days at a cabin, owned by the parents of Nick, a goofy, slightly dorky goober who is dating Stacey, a brunette who, while slightly horsey in the face, has a nice rack and spends nearly half the movie either showing her tits or wearing a bikini. The party includes two more couples. We have Jim, the obvious jock of the group, who cares only for sex and beer, naturally. He's hooked up with the requisite blonde, named Doreen, who loves showering and generally being naked. The other couple are the nerdy and monstrously lucky David and his chick, an accented exchange student named Janet, who as we find out later has very nice breastesses. Finally, we come to Mike. Mike is the star of the show here, folks. Mike loves horror movies. He worships them. Why he agrees to go is a mystery, but we're glad he does. Mike doesn't have a girlfriend, but this turns out to be a good thing. Let's find out why!
The youths head out, driving on a dirt road through the woods, heading to Nick's family's vacation home. Along the way, they pass Sally's partially destroyed car, which the police are investigating. We find that Sally is missing. Mike starts in: "This is just like that one horror movie I saw! Guys, we're making a mistake, we shouldn't be going out here!" This is Mike. Constantly. The dude never shuts up with his Debbie-Downer-esque rant. Try and imagine what it would be like, having Mike along with your group. Every time you want to go outside to skinny-dip, Mike's there like some mad doomsayer prophet, quoting every horror movie cliche in the book, trying to warn you.
|It's not a party until the inaugural tick-check.
However, if something were to truly go wrong--say a masked psychopath attacked, or a mutant came flinging turds--you'd want someone like Mike in your corner, someone who knew how to handle fucked up situations due to his consumption of slasher movies. Finally they arrive at the spot. I was expecting some rustic cabin in the woods, but instead it's actually a nice vacation home that's beside a half-decent swimming hole. Not long after our crew arrives and settles in, a van comes barrelling down the road, filled with punks. Literally, punks. Mohawks, piercings, blaring punk music, anarchy symbolism. The whole bit. Normal movie convention calls for these people to rudely intrude on the non-punkish kids, assert their dominance, and then finally die horribly to the movie's menace. Not here, folks! Director/writer Rolfe Kanefsky is bucking tradition already! The punks stop their van all right, and strip immediately, girls getting topless while the guys dive into the pond next to the vacation home. Frolicing ensues, until one of the kids in the house notices the commotion. Nick is alerted, and he orders the punks to leave, as this is private property. Instead of becoming indigent, the punks simply apologize, put their clothing back on, and leave! The alien shows up, crawling through the weeds, but doesn't get a chance to eat any of the punks. They simply drive away, and right out of the movie for good. Amazing!
The teens waste no time in getting biz-ay, much to the increasing horror of Mike, whose doom and gloom prophesies increase in both frequency and volume. He starts to come unhinged when David and Janet go off for a walk, at night, and don't return. We see the couple, wandering through the woods, when the alien attacks by latching itself onto David's face and chomping in with a huge, cartoonish "CHOMP!" sound effect. While David is being killed, Janet runs in horror and ends up knocking herself out on a tree.
|"How in hell did I get semen on my back? Oh yeah..."
Meanwhile, Doreen takes a ludicrously long shower, before finally boning Jim. Nick and his girl Stacey hook up as well for the nasty, while Mike sits on the other side of the wall contemplating horrors unseen as they bang away behind him. The alien, meanwhile, uses one of his appendages to gain entry to the house, and manages to eat some chicken, which Stacey had cooked previously. When the couples are done constructing double-back beasts, they discover the missing chicken, and instead find some green slime on the skillet. The tension mounts, and Mike's blood-pressure is through the roof!
Mike outfits himself with a baseball catcher's face-mask, a pair of hockey gloves, and a wooden baseball bat. The alien interrupts Doreen and Jim in the midst of humping and attacks Jim, who doesn't see the alien and unfortunately thinks that Mike did it. The others come in and they all end up locking Mike in the basement (with the alien, no less) because they think he's playing a game on them. Jim and Doreen head out and go skinny-dipping, which leads to a hilarious scene in which the stalking alien steps on a rake lying in the yard, which slaps him right in the face, driving him off and sparing Jim and Doreen.
|All those years of enduring ruthless sodomy via lacrosse-team hazing rituals finally pay off.
Back in the house, the alien attacks Mike, who busts a water pipe in his flight attempt. We cut to the next morning without seeing what happened to poor Mike. The others go to let Mike out, only to find the basement partially flooded. Nick, furious, leaves to head to town to find a plumber, while the others finally realize that David and Janet never returned from their walk the previous night. Having nothing better to do, Jim and Doreen start to fuck again, and once again get interrupted by the alien, who suffocates Jim by holding him up against the wall and covering his nose and mouth with a slimy tentacle while Doreen watches in horror. She tries to run, but the alien shoots fucking green lasers out of its eyes, right into Doreen's eyes. She collapses onto the floor.
|A Face Only Your Mother Would Love
Doreen wakes up a little later, seemingly none worse for the wear, and Jim's face melts, though no one but Mike witnesses it. Now that everyone knows about the alien, steps are taken. Doors are locked, etc. The alien is driven out by some shaving cream, which Mike squirts through a door keyhole into the alien's mouth--not at all suggestively. Shaving cream is repeatedly used as a weapon from here on out, much to my eternal glee. Here comes one of the best exchanges of the movie, and one which vaulted this film from 2 Thumb Up status into the pantheon of 3 Thumbs:
Mike: "That thing out there is NOT reality!"
Stacey: "So, you're saying we're in a movie?!"
Mike glances directly at the camera at this point.
Mike: "That's a distinct possibility."
Sheer. Genius. I rewatched this segment a few times, to bask in the glory. Major, major props to Rolfe for that bit of writing, and to Craig Peck, who played Mike so well.
|"You guys do what you want, but I for one do NOT plan to die with clothes on!"
Meanwhile, the exchange student Janet wakes up from running into the tree, and heads woozily back to the house. Stacey and Mike help her back in, just as the alien attacks. Once again, it is thwarted by Mike's use of shaving cream, which leads to this fantastic line by Mike: "We don't know anything about that thing except, like everything else, it hates a mouth-full of shaving cream!" Suddenly, Doreen goes batshit, obviously controlled by the alien's influential eye-beams. She attacks everyone in site and starts helping the alien. The alien is running rampant, and attacks Janet, ripping open her shirt (underneath which she isn't wearing a bra-- VIVE LA FRANCE! or wherever Janet is supposed to be from). Doreen manages to bust Janet's head with a bat, which kills her, before being driven into the patio door, which shatters, letting loose a shard of glass that decapitates Doreen!
|Tonight on "Big in Japan": Bullfrog Bukkake
Stacey and Mike hide out in the basement, boarding up a window, and drive off the alien with shaving cream once again. Nick finally returns, shouting about the plumber being there any minute and asking where everyone is. He goes in the house and sees the destruction all over, and starts freaking out. The alien attacks him. First, Nick throws the family cat at the alien, which does no good. (Wherever the alien hails from, it is clearly not the planet Melmac.) Nick looks up, sees the fucking boom mike from the sound guy, and swings on it (there's even a little Indiana Jones music played here as he does so!) over the alien's head. He makes good his escape and finds Mike and Stacey, who fill him in on the goings on.
They all pile into Nick's car and attempt to escape, but the alien jumps onto the car's hood, and begins shooting green eye lasers at them. They are wise to this by now, and avert their eyes. Mike finds some mirror shades in the back seat, puts them on, and deflects the eye beams right back at the alien, which launches it off the car in a puff of smoke! All of this is for naught, though, because Nick stupidly drives the car off into the water. Meanwhile, the plumber shows up and promptly gets murdered by the alien. The teens head back into the house for the final confrontation.
|"Lights out? Uh-huh. Now where's my Radio of Love?"
Under the direction of Mike, they gather all of the light bulbs in the house, and crank up the gas in the stove. They also position mirrors about the kitchen. The alien shows up right on cue, ramming into mirrors because it's stoopid or somethin'. Stacey uses the light bulbs to distract it while Mike spreads shaving cream (again! I love it!) on the floor. They eventually lure the monster into the open oven, and slam shut the door, the fire builds and builds until finally the oven explodes, killing the alien! Great success!
The teens leave, heading out in the plumber's van. As they go down the road back to town, a dirty and discheveled Sally wanders out of the woods, flagging them down. They give her a ride as she tells them about being attacked by something in the woods after her car wreck. Suspicious, the others eye her, until one of the points out that she has green eyes! Not listening to her pleas for help, they force her out of the van and drive off into the night, once more leaving Sally stranded. Poor Sally! Fin.
|"HANsel? HanSEL?"
Ahh Troma, how I love thee! It's movies like this, dearest friends, that keep me coming back for more. It has everything: Cool alien effects, frickin' laser beam eyes, rampant and gratuitous nudity, excessive shower scenes, and humor galore. The obvious love for making film is prevalent through the whole affair. None of the actors (in my humble opinion) phone it in, and a lot of care was given to the writing and such. The DVD set that Troma sent out is fantastic as well, giving tons of extras, so much so that it's spread to a second disc.
Really, you just can't go wrong with There's Nothing Out There! It has everything, and more, that you could want from a Troma-esque feature. 3 Thumbs Up!

April 2017
It's sunny, it's relaxed – and it's on the up. The Gulf Coast makes a lovely holiday destination. Tampa, upmarket Naples and trendy St Pete have pretty beaches, nature parks and rollercoasters. Here's what to do once you're there.
Try Floribbean cuisine in Tampa
Yes, Floribbean: a fusion of Floridian and Caribbean food. And Tampa is said to have invented the Cuban Sandwich, too. For traditional dining, visit Ulele restaurant in a former water pump station, which pays tribute to traditional state dishes – including tasty deep-fried okra. Ybor City is the place to head in the evening, for a café con leche and a cigar, or a big Spanish meal at America's oldest Spanish restaurant, Columbia. For real ale, the local brewery, Cigar City gives you a very generous tour of its taps.
Where to stay: The Epicurean Hotel, Autograph Collection in Tampa lies in trendy South Howard district and is at the forefront of the city's gastronomic awakening. It's a food-themed hotel with live demonstrations, wine tastings and, of course, very good dinners.
The Epicurean Hotel, Autograph Collection in Tampa lies in the trendy South Howard district and is at the forefront of the city's gastronomic awakening.
Check out the culture in Tampa, Naples and St. Petersburg
Spend some time pounding the city streets and don't just end up with the usual Floridian souvenirs. Within Tampa, Ybor City is the most vibrant district for vintage shops and for cigars from the former 'cigar city' of Florida. For more of your favourite US brands, hit the high-end International Plaza. In St Pete, visit the Dalí Museum and see clocks melt, courtesy of the greatest collection of Salvador Dalí's surrealist art in the US. In downtown Naples, 5th Avenue South is well worth an evening stroll. Wander the stretch of little shops, boutiques and galleries under the palm trees and you'll be sure to find something special.
Where to stay: The Inn on Fifth is near to the downtown boutiques in Naples. It's the perfect base for exploring the city and is only a few blocks from the beach. Enjoy the view from the loungers at the rooftop pool.
Riding high
The young and young at heart will love Cobra's Curse® ride, where the Snake King reigns supreme. It's one of Busch Gardens' multiple roller coasters, alongside Kumba®, Cheetah Hunt® and many more, and it's one of the best for families.£548 ppBook flights and hotels
Go to Busch Gardens – or a nature park
Busch Gardens is an adventure park which is home to some of the world's rarest animals. It has a bit of a reputation for very fast rollercoasters. Whilst younger kids will love the jungle-themed play areas, speedy rides like Kumba® keep the older cynics quiet (or… screaming). In Fort Myers enjoy the laid-back culture and the State Parks, including relaxing nature walks at Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve. Pronounced 'sloo', the park's guided walks sometimes have guest appearances from otters, wild pigs and herons.
Where to stay: Hyatt Place Tampa Busch Gardens is conveniently situated for Busch Gardens. Use the hotel shuttle to take your family there and back and beat the car park queues.
Secret pictures
Painted in 1970, this picture from the Dalí Museum's collection has a double image – the face and torso of a famous bullfighter is hidden in the series of statues, whilst Dalí's disapproving wife frowns from the top left corner.Book hotels in St Petersburg
One of the most popular treats in Floridian fare is okra fries, sometimes known by the less appetising moniker 'ladyfingers'. Ybor City neighbourhood in Tampa is a treasure trove of traditional restaurants, including Ulele, named after a Native American princess.Visit Tampa
Technicolour trams
The colourful centre of Ybor City makes it a popular stop in any tour of Tampa.Book flights to Tampa
Explore the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Coast
The beaches on the Gulf Coast are plentiful and plenty pretty. And you never know what treasures you might find there. Stretch out at St Pete Beach or Clearwater Bay where a daily 'sunset festival' on Pier 60 makes every sundowner a party. A low-key and much-loved pastime is 'shelling' – simply wandering the tide line and looking for sand dollars and shells that have washed up from the Gulf. Try Honeymoon Island, a state park with four miles of wild beaches sprinkled with blushing shells. Sanibel and Captiva islands near Fort Myers are perhaps even better.
Where to stay: If you're able to tear yourself off its beach, where turtles frequently make an appearance, The Resort at Longboat Key Club also has a 45-hole golf course and moorings for visitors with fancy yachts.
Sarasota's shows
Sarasota is well known for its arts, culture and beaches. It was once the home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, billed as 'The Greatest Show on Earth' when it toured the USA. Though the circus announced its closure in 2017, the golf and beaches mean Sarasota still has plenty of entertainment.£548 ppBook flights and hotels
Play golf in Naples and Sarasota
Near Naples, Old Corkscrew Golf Course in Estero is a Jack Nicklaus signature course and one of the highest renowned in Florida. As its playful name suggests, it can be a tricky course for those who need a challenge, with undulating, beautiful greens and thick trees. You'll find yourself surrounded by nature – even alligators – at each tee. In Sarasota, the Ritz Carlton has a Members Golf Club which guests of the hotel can access.
Where to stay: Ritz Carlton Sarasota's golf course is sixteen miles away from the hotel. But it's worth the trip for the 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed championship course. At the hotel proper, enjoy the beach club and impeccable service.
Enjoy a spa day in Clearwater
If Florida is the sunshine state, then its spas should help you get in a sunshine state of mind. Find treatments that use hero local ingredients like citrus peel, salt scrubs and tropical fruits. Clearwater has some of Florida's best beaches and the Don CeSar hotel sits in pride of place on one of them. The hotel's Spa Oceana is 11,000 square feet and provides a myriad of treatments, from the Sea of Life Facial to the Floral Blossom Manicure.
Where to stay: The Don CeSar is known as the 'Pink Palace' for its lurid walls and historic grandeur. Ralph Fiennes starred in Forever Mine here, though the hotel's particular shade resembles another of his films, The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Re: Bella Swan Cullen

Mrs.Edward_Cullen<3 wrote:Mara Jade Cullen wrote:Bella is designed to be a character that can be sympathized with so that the reader could easily step into her shoes.
I don't get why people think that she is weak and boring. She goes against the grain of what is the usual while still being "approachable" by the reader. She is takes care of her family. She doesn't just go along with the crowd. She thinks differently than her friends and classmates. She stands up to her father. And she has a strong enough personality to hold her own against Edward--who can be a little stubborn and opinionated if you haven't noticed.
So she's weak physically. *shrugs* She's human{/i] in a supernatural setting. Of course she has to be protected. People complain because they think that she is the perpetual damsel in distress. But in Twilight she doesn't wait for Edward to come and rescue her. She goes out to protect her mom and the Cullens from James even though she knows that it means her own death and sacrifice of everything that she had with Edward. I don't see that as weak. She may have been rather gullible, but I think that she shows strength of character throughout the series.
Despite her physical weakness she goes to Italy and saves Edward.
Breaking Dawn then turns the tables. She goes from being the "weak" link in the Cullen family to being the most powerful character that saves them all.
Everyone has their own opinion, of course. But I think that those who see the story as being sexist in reference to Bella's role choose to only see what they want and aren't considering her storyline as a whole.
I very much agree with you. Bella was percepted by some people as the weak, human girl in a world of a vampires. I think you're mostly right. She may be physically weak in the beginning but she's emotionally stronger than most people. And when she ends up stronger than everyone else she does come in and save them all. Heck, she saved some people in her human life. She's not a damsel in distress. She's our heroine.
The point is that she isn't that emotionally strong if she can't function without a man in her life . . . she falls apart whenever she's left without Edward or Jake. I wouldn't call her a heroine, I'd certify her as a damsel in distress because that is what she does. She sits and waits for someone to save her.
I don't know anyone who can identify with her, all of my friends and I agree, she's unrelatable because none of us think of ourselves as that boring, that weak, we all like to think that we're a lot stronger . . .
I'm with LeahRose I would have been wanting to learn how to kick those vampire butts, yet she's just content to forever be this damsel who can never save herself . . . rather pathetic if you ask me.

Kristina M. Reber, MD
Contact Information
Kristina M. Reber, MD is the Associate Division Chief of the Neonatology Section at Nationwide Children's Hospital and an Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. The focus of Dr. Reber's research has been on the developmental regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the newborn intestinal circulation. ENOS is an isoform of nitric oxide synthase that through the conversion of Larginine to L-citrulline forms nitric oxide. Differences in the regulation of the intestinal circulation found in Dr. Reber's laboratory may partly account for the susceptibility of newborn infants to develop necrotizing enterocolitis, a disease that is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate, particularly among infants born prematurely. Dr. Reber's research has demonstrated a much lower vascular resistance in the newborn intestinal circulation when compared to the adult intestinal circulation, which is primarily due to the role of eNOS. Currently, Dr. Reber's laboratory is looking at the role of shear stress in the regulation of eNOS in the newborn swine intestinal circulation and has demonstrated an association between oxidant production, shear stress and subsequent nitric oxide production in the endothelial cell from newborn swine intestinal circulation. Her current studies with endothelial cell culture will specifically examine the role of Rac, a small GTPase, in this proposed pathway using Rac transfection.
