EXCLUSIVE! 8 never before seen clips from 'CHE'!
11.12.2008 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
With a month to go before its US release (December 12th and Jan 9th, 2009) we obtained 8 never before seen movie clips from 'Che' starring Academy award winning actor Benicio del Toro and a prolific Latino cast.
These clips are in Spanish without English subtitles, just the way director Steven Soderbergh intended them to be. Cameos include Julia Ormond, Franka Potente and yes… Matt Damon as a US agent having a whole conversation speaking in Spanish.
We were surprised at the various Latino dialects we heard from Colombia, Puerto Rico and even Mexican, from many actors who were trying to sound Cuban. But at the end of a 5 hour journey through the life of Guevara, it is the last of your worries.
Nevertheless, we will have a review of the film in December. We enjoyed it, if it matters to you, so enjoy these clips and we hope they help you judge whether you want to invest your time and money in the film.

SUV crashes into downtown Ypsilanti radio station

A two-car accident did extensive damage to the AM 1700 storefront at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to Lt. Mike Kouba of the Ypsilanti Fire Department.
Kouba said the crash involved a Ford Escape and a Ford Fusion.
Sgt. Brent Yuchasz of the Ypsilanti Police Department said one of the drivers was arrested for drunken driving, but was unable to specify which driver.
Robb said he arrived on the scene about 20 minutes after the collision, but saw what happened on the surveillance footage.
According to Robb, both cars may have run through stop signs at the intersection of Pearl and North Washington. The Fusion was heading south on North Washington and pushed the Escape, which was heading west on Pearl, into the station's storefront.
No estimate of the building damage was immediately available, and Kouba said no injuries were reported.
"It took a long time to board up and clean up all of the broken glass," said Robb, who leases the space.
This is the second time in the last two months that an automobile has crashed into a storefront along this block. A truck crashed into the storefront of Bona Sera Cafe in early December.
AM 1700 is a community radio station that plays music.

You can stream AM1700 on-line 24 hours a day. AM1700 is listed in most every streaming service, it is a really great station, listen to it all the time.

Can Anyone Post a decent AM station? Most of the time I am on NPR FM 91.7. Good, but they trash it with the BBC feed at Midnight. How about the Hooners on AM 160? The "host" dude is a Genuine "Little Head."

This isn't an AM station, but if you're looking for great music 'round midnight, check out "Undercurrents" on WEMU--89.1. A very eclectic mix of old and extremely new. Kind of the way FM radio was when it began, when playlists weren't interrupted with commercials every five minutes.

Kudos to the drunken knuckleheads who wrecked this nicely-decorated, historic storefront. I used to walk by this station on my way to the bus, and admired the pictures, antique turntable, and music playing outside the doorway. The drivers around Ypsi these days are just crazy stupid, and one less thing of beauty is lost for it.

I heard the cleanup of the crash this morning from my apartment, but somehow managed to sleep through the actual crash. So unfortunate that this happened to another business on the same block! I'm glad that no one was injured, especially since there's always a lot of pedestrians around that intersection.

I've gone by that station numerous times and have never actually seen anyone working there.Is that just a historic model of a Radio Station?
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 2:35 a.m.
I wonder if it is an irony that it is parked next to De Ja Vue? I have driven by there a dozen times and I agree, never knew a radio station existed there. Wow. Who knew. Guess I'll have to tune in to see who or what it does.
Wed, Feb 6, 2013 : 9:08 p.m.
From the 1700 AM website: "AM1700 is a non-commercial, community radio station located in Historic Downtown Ypsilanti, Michigan. AM1700 operates under Title 47, Part 15 (47 CFR 15) in the Code of Federal Regulations governing the Federal Comminication Commission (FCC) regarding unlicensed transmissions. "AM1700 is dedicated to filling a void in radio programming that has been created as the result of mega conglomerates owning much of the airwaves across America. The station's is committed to providing an outlet to viewpoints — whether the be musical or otherwise — not found elsewhere on the radio dial." Sounds like a low-power, community kind of station.

The Golf Rivalry Between Jerry Rice and Tim Brown

Vang-Master is stronger, lighter and more reliable than any other boom vang/lift on the market. This pneumatic boom vang is made of 6061 T6 aluminum on the outside and has Harken block and tackle on the inside. It comes with an air pump, so it is 100% adjustable. It is also very easy to maintain, because there is no need to replace springs or hydraulic fluids.
The Vang-Master is made in America and is a stock item on new Melges 24's, Melges 32's, Ultimate 20's, and Ultimate 24's. It's also seen on racing boats of all sizes, including J80's, the world over. This is the stock Vang-Master vang for a Melges 24. It has Harken blocks and tackle in it.
It's nice to see Pewaukee, Zenda, and San Pedro marine manufacturers supporting each other.

Reverse of cabinet card by E. Bosotock, Photographer of Schools, & etc.
Erasmus Bostock worked as a photographer in Derby from the mid-1870s, when he was probably apprenticed to William Pearson, one of the town's earliest practitioners, then operating from a studio in St. Peter's Street. [1] In the late 1870s and early 1880s he had a brief partnership with a photographer named Carr, during which time they worked from a studio at number 8 Macklin Street. [2] He established then established an itinerant trade as a "photographer of schools" from c.1882, not the only local to visit schools, but apparently the only one in Derby who advertised it as a speciality. [3]
Over the following decade, he appears to have concentrated on this type of work: of the dozen or so examples of his work from this period that I have hitherto come across, only one is a conventional studio portrait. Between 1891 and 1894 Bostock moved with his family to nearby Nottingham, where he probably took over a studio from Edward Carnell and continued in business until his death in 1919. [4]
Informal cabinet card portrait of unidentified group
Taken by Erasmus Bosotock of Derby, c. mid-1880s
This informal portrait of what is assumed to be a family group taken by Bostock in a suburban backyard therefore departs a little from his usual fare, and is an important clue to how photographers coped with lean times. I have written previously [5,6] of opportunistic photographers who toured residential suburbs, probably during winter months when business was quiet, looking for potential customers who wanted their photos taken in front of their houses or in their gardens. Some of these professionals worked out of established studios, but many left no mark on their card mounts or, if they did, are not traceable through trade directories.
It is interesting, then, to find such a portrait taken by a photographer who, it has already been established, travelled into the residential suburbs and, we now know, was a "door knocker" when the occasion arose. A small tidbit of information about one of Derby's minor photographers it is, but it adds to the developing picture of the common practices in Victorian Britain.

Who Moved My Buy Button?
Keeping an eye on our friends at Amazon since a little while ago.
It's an Amazon-Eat-Buy-Button World Out There
It had happened without warning. Just ask the authors in the U.K., well published by major houses, who woke up in 2008 to find their Buy Buttons had gone missing. No "pardon the inconvenience" e-note from Seattle, just a quiet severing of ties with a few million customers. It happened here in the U.S., too, more times than you know. See, the folks at Amazon have a headlock on the online book world, and they tend to get carried away. That's why we developed WhoMovedMyBuyButton.com in 2010 after Amazon removed all of the buy buttons from Macmillan titles.
The website is currently undergoing maintanence, but if buttons start going missing again — don't worry — we'll be ready for them.

Back Pocket
One of the many profound stories she relayed was that students she had worked with were comforted merely knowing they had Zentangle to fall back on, to "have in their back pocket" when things went awry.
We've heard many stories about how comforting creating a Zentangle tile can be. For these students, just knowing it was there was a comfort, too.
Very cool!

Stress reliever, you bet. Since October we've moved, had two deaths in the family and a health issue, and my husband is trying to get a new business off the ground - all major stressors. Maybe that's why I'm doing so much tangling these day! Besides the fact that I just love it.

At Supernova, A Belief That New Networks Foster Invention and Innovation
SAN FRANCISCO, December 1, 2009 - Digital Age Paul Reveres have been warning the world lately about the impending internet lock-down that they fear will result from the growth in popularity of permission-based development environments such as Apple's iPhone. Unlike the World Wide Web where everybody is free to execute their ideas without having to obtain prior permission from an infrastructure provider, Apple requires developers to submit their iPhone applications for approval before they can be offered to the public.

BAKER � Mikala Moore was money in the bank for the Holmes County girls basketball team Friday as the Blue Devils took on Baker in District 2-1A play. Moore scored a game-high 22 points hitting six 3-point baskets to lead the Blue Devils to a 60-39 win over the Gators.
BAKER � Mikala Moore was money in the bank for the Holmes County girls basketball team Friday as the Blue Devils took on Baker in District 2-1A play.
Moore scored a game-high 22 points hitting six 3-point baskets to lead the Blue Devils to a 60-39 win over the Gators.
Moore got off to a fast start hitting her first 3-pointers less than a minute into the game to give Holmes County a very early 3-2 lead.
The Gators (6-5, 1-3) responded with baskets by Cassidy Anderson and Bethany Chestnut as Baker took the lead at 4-3 at the 4:59 mark of the first quarter. But Moore was just getting warmed up as she hit her next 3-pointer to put the Blue Devils up 6-4 with 4:29 left in the first quarter.
Holmes County led the rest of the game using a full-court zone press defense and timely shooting on the offensive end of the floor to keep the Gators at a safe distance the rest of the night.
Baker coach Brian Wagner wasn�t surprised by the Blue Devil pressure defense that kept the Gators on their heels most of the night.
�We knew going in they were going to be able to bring pressure and the question was, �Would we be able to answer the call?�� he said. �And we didn�t answer the call very well.
�Another thing is we missed easy shots. When we improve that we are going to be a very, very good team. We are a pretty good team now, but we can be a very good team and play with Bonifay, Ponce de Leon, Chipley and the teams that we play, it�s going to have to take that (make easy shots) to make that happen.�
Back-to-back baskets by Cierra Davis and Courtney Syfrett extended the Blue Devil lead to 10-4 with a little less than three minutes left in the first quarter. Anderson scored again for Baker to pull the Gators to within four points of Holmes County, but that�s as close as Baker got the rest of the way.
The Blue Devils led 17-8 at the end of the first quarter and 27-17 at the half.
A 2-pointer by Chestnut with 7:03 left in the third quarter got the Gators to within seven points of the Blue Devils at 29-22, Four quick points by Holmes County pushed the lead back to double digits and the Blue Devils coasted to the win.
Anderson led Baker with 14 points. Lily Phillips added eight points, Chestnut seven points and Kathryn Quigg chipped in six points.
Wagner is confident with a few breaks here and there the Gators can compete and defend their district championship.
�You can see when we take care of the basketball and make the easy buckets we are very hard to play,� he said. �When you don�t do those things it�s tough.
�A wise coach told me one time that when you coach girls you are going to have to worry about two things. They are going to miss some easy buckets and they are going to throw the ball away. It�s your job as the coach to try and prevent that from happening and so far I haven�t done it.�

This article provides an overview of various types of geometric primitive objects that can be added to a BRL-CAD geometry file. The shape, size, location and orientation of each such object are defined by a set of parameters/properties that are specific to its type, which are discussed in the corresponding section below.
For general discussions on using MGED to create primitive objects, view their properties, and modify or move them, see:
also see:
An arbitrary convex polyhedron (arb) is a geometric volume that is completely enclosed by a set of 3-dimensional planes. Each has a set of straight-edged, flat faces outlined by the intersections of those planes. The intersection of each pair of planes is a line whose intersections with other planes defines a pair of vertices. The line segment between those two vertices is an edge of the polyhedron that is shared by two faces. Each vertex is common to an equal number (at least three) of faces and edges.
For example, a rectangular parallelepiped is enclosed by three orthagonal pairs of parallel planes. Their intersections define six faces, each with four edges and four vertices. There are a total of 12 edges (each shared by two faces) and 8 vertices (each shared by three faces and three edges).
The BRL-CAD geometry file format defines two types of records for such polyhedra:
Although any polyhedron can be defined and stored as an arbn, the arb8 record type is more commonly employed because it is simpler to work with and still accommodates most constructive solid geometry applications.
An arb8 record is specified by a set of eight {X, Y, Z} vertices designated V1 through V8, which need not all be unique. BRL-CAD uses such records to represent polyhedra having four, five or six faces:
An arbn record is specified by N sets of intersecting planes, each defined by four coefficients:
As discussed in the Creating and editing arbn primitives article, BRL-CAD uses such primitives to represent polyhedra having any number of sides, edges and vertices.

See also DSP tutorial.
extruded bit map
See also EBM tutorial.
The extruded bitmap (also referred to as EBM) is a solid based on a greyscale bitmap. The bitmap is an array of unsigned char values, see bw(5), and is extruded by some distance. The EBM solid requires the dimensions of the bitmap file (height and width in bytes), an extrusion length, and a transformation matrix to position the EBM. Each byte in the bitmap file is treated as the base of a cell that is extruded by the specified extrusion length. If the value of the byte is nonzero, then that cell is considered solid.
Height field
Elliptical torus
Conical particle
The particle solid is a lozenge-shaped object defined by a vertex, a height vector and radii at both ends. The body of the particle is either a cylinder or a truncated cone, depending on the values of the radii. Each end of the particle is a hemisphere of the specified radius.
n-Manifold geometry solid (non-manifold geometry)
Hollow and solid pipes and wires
Arbitrary rectangular solid
Solids of type 'ars' (Arbitrary Faceted Solids) are defined using "waterlines". The following figure consists of a start point, some number of intermediate polygons, and an ending point. Each of the intermediate polygons have the same number of vertices and the vertices are numbered 1 thru N. In addition to the intermediate polygons a line will be created that begins at the start point, goes through each polygon at its vertex numbered 1, and terminates at the end point. This is repeated for each polygon vertex 2 thru N. The start point, polygons, and end point are each a "waterline".
<need an image here to illustrate the concept>
the ars shape takes the following values as input:
For example, the command:
in x.1 ars 4 6 0 0 3 1 1 3 1 -1 3 -1 -1 3 -1 1 3 1 1 1 1 -1 1 -1 -1 1 -1 1 1 1 0 -1 0 -1 -1 -1 0 -1 0 1 -1 1 0 -3 0 -1 -3 -1 0 -3 0 1 -3 0 0 -3
Will produce a square bar with a tapered 1/8 turn twist in the middle. Of course, more waterlines in the twist and more points per waterline would make the twist smoother.
The parameters to the above ars command can be dissected as:
4 : number of points per waterline (i.e. intermediate polygons have 4 vertices)
6 : number of waterlines (four intermediate polygons plus the two endpoints)
0 0 3 - the center of the top end of the bar
1 1 3 1 -1 3 -1 -1 3 -1 1 3 : a 2x2 square in the xy plane at z offset 3
1 1 1 1 -1 1 -1 -1 1 -1 1 1 : a 2x2 square oriented the same as the first but at z offset 1
1 0 -1 0 -1 -1 -1 0 -1 0 1 -1 : a 2x2 square at a 45 degree rotation from the first squares at z offset -1
1 0 -3 0 -1 -3 -1 0 -3 0 1 -3 : a 2x2 square at a 45 degree rotation from the first squares at z offset -3
0 0 -3 : the center of the bottom end of the bar
surface splines
volume / voxel
The vol solid is defined by a 3-dimensional array of unsigned char values.

Name: Timothy R. Souza
Name: Timothy R. Souza
Age: 33
Title: Mortgage Originator
Company: St. Anne's Credit Union
Educational degrees: B.S. in political science
Career highlights: My career in banking spans 10 years and has some twists and turns. From college I joined HSBC as an Account Executive, advancing to the level of District Manager for New England. I earned several awards including the Presidents Council, given to the top 3% in the nation for new revenue growth. In 2010 I left the impersonal world of corporate banking for the more individual connection and locality of St. Anne's Credit Union. Hired as a mortgage originator I'm able to utilize my vast experience to benefit my members at SACU. Through networking and community involvement I am proud to be a significant contributor to the growth of SACU's mortgage business in the New Bedford area.
Community service: I believe in playing an active role in the community. One way I realize this is by holding classes locally on financial literacy for Child and Family Services and first time home ownership through City of New Bedford Housing. I'm an active member of the New Bedford Fall River Housing Partnership, New Bedford Board of Realtor Affiliates and New Bedford Chamber. I particularly enjoy taking part in the Credit for Life fairs at the high schools and making that connection with the youth.
Who is the leader you most admire and why?
I didn't need to look beyond my own family to find a leader to admire; my grandfather Arthur Souza. Born to immigrant parents he graduated from New Bedford Vocational as a machinist. He worked at Rodney Metals in New Bedford for 40 years retiring as shop foreman. He raised his family in a house he built himself. No one did anything on that house but him. In his words "If they can do it, you can do it". This philosophy, much to my wife's chagrin, I live by. He taught himself to successfully invest in the stock market allowing him to retire comfortably. My grandfather was driven to exceed all expectations and lead by example. An example I follow day in and day out.
Describe your ideal SouthCoast
My ideal SouthCoast would be one that is multifaceted, self sufficient and constantly evolving. It's a SouthCoast that offers quality education in the growing fields of technology and health care in preparation for rewarding careers in those fields right here in the SouthCoast. This SouthCoast would offer the amenities and quality of life needed to keep people here to raise families and build their lives. A SouthCoast where people investing themselves in the community is more the norm than the exception.

Great pitching was the lifeline of the Binghamton Mets record setting baseball season this summer. Wherever you looked; the starting rotation, long relief or closing, the B-Met pitching excelled. There were multiple B-Mets who could be considered the 2013 Most Valuable Pitcher. I've boiled that choice down to four promising righthanded arms — Rafael Montero, Logan Verrett, Noah Syndergaard and Jeff Walters and one lefty, Darin Gorski.
Rafael Montero was brilliant throughout his brief stay in the Binghamton rotation during the early weeks of the season. Montero started 11 games as a B-Met — good for 66.2 innings on the hill. The early season pitching ace went 7-3 with a sparkling 2.43 ERA, striking our 72 batters and walking only 10. That helped Montero to an outrageous WHIP of just 0.92. Montero's impact on the B-Mets was profound. His business like work on the mound seemed to set a tone in the early season that the 2013 B-Met season was about competitive excellence. Montero's lead was a great model to follow.
Darin Gorski had a similar impact on the B-Mets, but during the closing portion of the season. Gorski returned from an early season injury in Triple-A Las Vegas and was assigned to Binghamton. Without much hype, Gorski was arguably the most effective B-Met pitcher down the homestretch. The tall lefthander started 13 games for Binghamton winning 6 and losing only one with the best ERA among starters, a sterling 1.83. Over 78.2 innings, Gorski allowed only 46 hits, striking out 67 and walking only 22. That was good for an eye-popping 0.86 WHIP, the best on the B-Met team other than Perpetual Pedro Feliciano.
Logan Verrett was the workhorse of the B-Met starting rotation, someone who took the ball every six days working 146 innings on the hill. Verrett's 12-6 record tied him at the top of the Eastern League leader board in wins. Varrett's blazing start was a key factor in the B-Mets early emergence as the premiere EL team during the regular season. The righthanded ace has pinpoint control striking out 132 batters and walking only 31. Keeping the ball in the park was an issue as Verrett allowed 21 HR's. He had a 4.25 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP.
The arrival of Noah Syndergaard in Binghamton during the later part of the season had the city buzzing. The highly regarded Met prospect lived up to all the billing during his 11 starts. Syndergaard went 6-1 for the B-Mets throwing 54 innings, striking out 69 and walking only 12. A fastball that regularly reached mid and upper 90's and held that speed throughout an outing tabs Syndergaard as one of the promising future Met power arms. Syndergaard finished with a 3.00 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP.
Arguably one of the biggest success factors of the 2013 Binghamton Mets was the performance of the bullpen, however. Pedro Lopez had multiple left handed and right handed options in the pen. This season's Most Valuable B-Met Pitcher comes from that relief corps, Jeff Walters, the record setting Binghamton closer. Walters was a lights out ninth inning option for Lopez earning 38 saves, the highest single season and career total in Binghamton Met history and the second highest save total in the history of the Eastern League. Walters pitched 56 innings of pressure packed relief allowing only 46 hits, striking out 60 and walking just 16. That gave the B-Met closer a 1.11 WHIP to complement his 2.09 ERA. Walters fired a fastball that consistently reached 95-96 mph and used a compliment of off-speed pitches.
Walters' value on the 2013 B-Mets was about more than statistics, however. In Walters, Binghamton had that cocky, confident, care-free, end of the game option, a guy who relished having the ball in tight situations and exuded an attitude that had a residual effect on his teammates. It was those personal traits along with a toolkit filled with pitching choices that make Jeff Walters the Binghamton Mets Most Valuable Pitcher of 2013.

My foodie adventures in Playa del Carmen were… a little bit stressful, mainly because I tend to get stressed out very easily but also because I DIDN'T HAVE PROPER YELP OR CHOWHOUND. I had TripAdvisor instead. I don't know if any of you use TripAdvisor but this was my first time using it intensely for food. Here are examples of what TripAdvisor reviewers write:
- "This is the BEST TACO place in Playa del Carmen!!!!!!!!!!!!!" – person who has only been in PDC for a day
- "My hubby and I loooove this place so muchhhh. We even got to take pictures with a Mexican man in a sombrero hat after!"
- "The fish was soooo fresh and I loooved the truffles and everything was sooo cheap! So affordable!!" – person who ate at a $$$$ place
Basically, TripAdvisor food reviews are not very helpful but hey, you gotta take what you can get. I essentially spent hours looking up the "must eats" on the World Wide Web, then the "bests" on TripAdvisor, and finally had to cross reference these "bests" with what some other bloggers have written about. After meticulously putting a list together with almost all our meals planned, we ran into a few bumps in the round. There were a couple of times where the restaurants I wanted to visit simply didn't exist anymore. Other times the restaurants were just… not good (when TripAdvisor says the seafood is fresh, don't believe them). Below is a list of places I tried and my general thoughts about them. I hope this is helpful for anyone who decides to visit!

Local woman seeks yarn donations for blankets
Through the years, longtime Blackfoot resident Pauline Sweet has crocheted nearly 500 afghans for babies, veterans, senior citizens and others in need, and she's still going strong. She started making the blankets in the 1980s for babies in the small Mexican fishing village of Kino Bay, where she and her husband Dwain spent months away from the cold Idaho winters for many years.
These days, Pauline's focus is crocheting lap blankets for veterans and senior citizens in the area; however, she is running low on yarn and is hoping that anyone with yarn to spare will donate some to her.
Pauline, who has been a homemaker and alterations seamstress for local businesses over the years, said, "I never sit down that I don't crochet for awhile. People have always been generous to donate yarn to keep me busy. I prefer 4-ply yarn but I'll work with anything and I'm happy with whatever I can get."
Most recently, Pauline donated her handmade blankets to residents of the Willows Assisted Living in Blackfoot and the Idaho State Veterans Home in Pocatello. She and Dwain make a point to personally deliver the blankets so that they can "see who is getting them." She said she makes lap blankets because they are more convenient for senior citizens and disabled persons - they won't get caught up in wheelchairs or cause them to trip.
"It's very gratifying to actually meet the people that receive the blankets. They are truly grateful and can't believe we are just giving them something. We want nothing in return except a 'thank you,' " Pauline said.
Pauline, 82, didn't learn to crochet until she was an adult and newly married to Dwain, saying, "I am left-handed and it was hard to find a teacher who would work with me. So, Dwain's mother and aunt ended up teaching me. I took to it and I've never stopped."
Dwain, her husband of 62 years, is more than supportive of Pauline's passion for crocheting afghans and is affectionally referred to by Pauline as the "ball roller" guy for his willingness to roll up balls of yarn for her.
In fact, Dwain, a machinist and retired U.S. Navy veteran from Kansas, crocheted an afghan himself back in the 1960s that scored a blue ribbon in the Eastern Idaho State Fair just last year.
"A friend of mine insisted that I learn a stitch. I just kept at it until I had made a big afghan," he said. "I'd never shown [the afghan] before, so I pulled it out and entered it in the fair and it took first place."
While Dwain didn't stick to crocheting, Pauline said she has no intentions of stopping.
"I will keep at it as long as my fingers are still working and I have all of my senses," she quipped. "I will just keeping making blankets and giving them to people."
Anyone with yarn to donate to Pauline can call her at 785-4655.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Host Golden Globes
Good job, Golden Globes! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to host this year's Golden Globes ceremony, which is scheduled for January 13, 2013. The duo have previously anchored 'Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update desk together, and co-starred in the 2008 film 'Baby Mama.'
This comes from Variety, and currently the details are sketchy, but these two are a great choice for the awards show, which has had Ricky Gervais host for the last couple of years. The two have shown they're great at working together, and obviously know each other's rhythms having spent so much time together at 'SNL.'
The Globes used to be a lot more fun, as they were considered a harbinger (albeit an unreliable one) for the Oscars, but with the more recent compressed voting schedules of awards season they aren't as telling. The Globes also used to be where celebrities would get much, much drunker beforehand and so there was a great air of bemusement that came from winning awards from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization that has never fully recovered its respect after Pia Zadora won the New Star of the Year award in 1981. That scandalized the awards, not just because of Zadora's win in general, but because the award was considered bought outright. Though the Globes will often give love to the most famous people in the world (Johnny Depp was nominated for 'Alice in Wonderland'), of late there hasn't been anything as scandalous.

Donnie Darko left me breathless, literally. The credits came up, my mouth was wide open, and I was completely in awe. Southland Tales left me another kind of breathless; pissed off, mouth agape in confused wonder. So with that, I present the trailer for Richard Kelly's follow-up The Box, based on Richard Matheson's short story, "Button, Button", which later became a Twilight Zone episode. The story concerns a married couple who are offered a simple proposition: "Push the button and you'll receive a million dollars, however; somewhere, someone you don't know will die." What would you do?
This trailer is a poor example (mostly the music), but I believe we're in for something special. When I finished the script for his upcoming adaptation of I actually had to stop a moment to pause. This isn't like anything we've gotten from Richard Kelly before. It's much darker than Darko, insanely more cohesive than Tales, and more mainstream than both. It's a disturbing story, with a great hook, and an amazing ending. I don't know what draft I read, but I'm really excited for Kelly to prove everyone wrong. The film stars Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, and Frank Langella. It is being scored by Win Butler, Regine Chassagne, and Owen Pallett, of Arcade Fire and Final Fantasy fame, respectively.

The greatest failing of education reformers in the U.S. this past quarter century has been their neglect of governance and structure—widely regarded either as politically impractical to touch or as too boring to get anyone interested. Yet the very structures and governance of our K–12 system often prevent other badly needed changes from taking place, enduring, or succeeding.
Recent months, however, have seen some cracks in the governance glacier with a spate of new books, articles, and conferences on the topic—meaning this set of reform challenges is no longer taboo to discuss or to tackle.
In an earnest effort to advance this crucial conversation, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute—in partnership with the Center for American Progress and the Brookings Institution Press—is pleased to present Education Governance for the Twenty-First Century: Overcoming the Structural Barriers to School Reform, edited by Paul Manna of the College of William and Mary and Patrick McGuinn of Drew University.
This important volume should be on the desk or bedside of every serious education reformer and policymaker in the land.
Featuring chapters by education scholars, analysts, and battle-scarred practitioners, it closely examines our present structures, identifies their failings, and offers some penetrating ideas for how governance might be done differently.
All serious reform victories begin with battles over ideas. In that spirit, we urge you to spend some quality time with this book. Overhauling our dysfunctional education-governance arrangements is a key priority for us at Fordham—and will inevitably loom among the hottest and most consequential issues for all serious reformers in the years to come.

An Epic Day: Sunburst South Bend IN race recap
I am super busy packing up our lives into cardboard boxes so that we can make our move in 2 measly weeks, but I have to write a quick update on the race I ran yesterday. Sunburst South Bend IN marathon.
I left work at noon on Friday and made what was supposed to be a 4 hour drive with my friends, married couple RH & KH. RH was running the full and KH was running the half. The trip to the race must have been an omen as it took us 5.5 hours and we sat in standstill traffic twice. Once b/c Obama was in Toldeo and they closed the high way and the second time b/c people were gawking at a horrendous wreck on the opposite side of the highway. We got to South Bend at like 5:30 and headed to expo. The expo was very small, about 5 booths, but it was super easy to find out race number and get our packet. I also really liked the shirts b/c they had women specific tech shirts with a nice clean design on white. I am sick of stupid shirts that are made to fit a man, so I was pleased to get a shirt that I will like to wear. From there we rushed to our hotel, had about 20 mins of downtime and then made the 20 min walk to where we were meeting our other 3 friends who came to town for dinner. The town of South Bend is super cute and I wish I had more time to explore. Dinner was okay, we ate at an upscale Italian place called Ciao's. I am not a big Italian fan anyway and there wasn't much on the menu that looked safe for my belly. So, I had a piece of tuna steak that was really good and some rice and veggies that was way too butter soaked for my taste. My crew walked back to the hotel and we got there around 9:30. I laid all my stuff out and was in bed by 10 for my 4:45 wake up call!
On Saturday the race started at 6am! That's a little early for my taste, but thank goodness it did. This was the first marathon I traveled too that I didn't get to stay in a house, so I learned a few important tips about mary traveling. I wasn't prepared properly for breakfast. I brought oatmeal packets, but had no where to get hot water and no spoon! So, I ate my oatmeal using nasty hotel room coffee machine water and used the end of my toothbrush to shovel it into my mouth! Our sub par hotel had no continental breakfast, but they did sit out fruit and water.
We walked up the street at 5:40 and met our 3 friends who stayed at another hotel. J and B were running the full too, the other friend was just watching her boyfriend. At this race the mary and half start at different times and run different courses, so it was a relative ghost town since only about 1000 people were running the full. We got in line at the start w/o issue and used the portapotties without a line. It was very nice. The race start at 6 was an anti climatic cap gun and we were off. I was in no way shape or form in top marathon shape. So, my plan going in was to run an easy race, stay around a 10 min pace and just have fun. Our friend B was running his first marathon even and hoping for a 4:30 and honestly I just would have been happy with that. RH and I stayed together at the beginning as the course wound through nice, quaint neighborhoods and a park along the water. The first half went perfectly fine. I felt good, I could have gone a little faster, but we were trotting along and talking to everyone along way. We crossed the half at 2:12.
At the start the temperature was 69 degrees. As we ran I felt a little more humid and sweaty than I would have liked, I started to worry. I was sweating very salty. We had such a cold and wet spring that I had only really ran in the heat once or twice. At 13 my shoulders started to cramp. I ate my GUs, I walked through the water stops at 13 and 14. By the time we got to 17 I knew things were not going to get better. I started to take walk breaks. Finally I convinced RH to go on without me. I met up with a nice gal at 18 and we walked together for awhile. We started helping each other along. Talking each other into running a few mins and then taking a walk break. We ran/walked our way back to mile 20. At this the race clock had been running for about 4:10. We started to do the math and decided that we might as well just power walk the rest. Every time I started to run I would get really nauseous and light headed. when I was running it was about an 11 min pace. We were able to walk at about a 14 min pace. Everyone was walking and I mean everyone. From mile 17-20 it's an out and back in a very nice park along the river. A lot of us ran into the park, but were walking on our way out. Once you leave the park at mile 20, you go back into town and run on the asphalt. There were sporadic little groups of people walking. At the mile 20 water stop the volunteer told me they had "red flagged" the race b/c of the heat and that we could take a shuttle back. My new friend and I decided to finish it out, I wanted an official time for the 50 state club! We picked up another women as we walked in and caught up with my friends J & B who were also now walking for the most part. The next 6 miles were a blur, but my little group of ladies busied ourselves talking and pushing each other on, we all would have love to quit.
At mile 25 a guy with a walky talky told me the race was closed, the race director had black flagged it. He said that we could go on at our own discretion. The Notre Dame campus was in eye shot at this point, so of course we had come that far we were going to finish! You finish on the Notre Dame football field and get to run through the tunnel the players do and onto the field. I started running again once i hit mile 26 and ran onto the field. Only to be met by everyone packing it up. It was 5:15 at this point, I wasn't directed to the finish, but over to get water. But they did call my name as I ran onto the field. I did end up backtracking and going through the finish, but the clock was off. Turns out they turned it off at 5:08 and rolled up the mat! I don't disagree with the director's choice to close the race, it was 95 degrees out and way hotter on the asphalt, but I am very peeved that they didn't let those of us within a few minutes get a chance to officially finish. It was quite a day. There were so many sad people, one women was crying b/c she had just done her 3rd marathon in 90 days and was trying to get into the marathon maniacs club. W/o official results, she might not be able to. It was not the end to my race that I was hoping for. But I know it's not the end of the world. Another state done, another marathon and this one will hopefully be the worse race I ever run.

Content management solutions are divided between two categories: those that offer services for publishing content on a website, and those that provide infrastructure for organizing company documents. Add to this the variety of software for highly specialized workflows, such as case or contract management, and the process of selecting the right content management system (CMS) gets tricky.
This buyer's guide is intended to make the process much more bearable. Here's what we'll cover:

Reviewers' Choice Products
|HubSpot Marketing
Our Reviewers' Choice list shows the five highest user-rated software solutions for CMS when adjusted for total number of reviews and recency of reviews.
If a software solution has more reviews, and more recent reviews, we value those ratings more highly than a product with fewer, older reviews. This is because is it much harder to get 100 five-star reviews than it is to get 10.
We also know that software vendors continually tweak and update their product, so we believe that more recent reviews tend to be more accurate.
To determine which products made the final cut, we looked at how users rated each solution's:
A solution can make the Reviewers' Choice top five in all three categories, or just one or two. All software solutions in the Reviewers' Choice have at least 10 reviews from real software users. The final products are listed in alphabetical order from left to right.
For more details on how we selected our Reviewers' Choice, read the full methodology.
Content management systems are software solutions used to author, organize and store content for a business. "Content," itself, can refer to a huge range of things: from documents for systems of record (e.g., birth certificates for a government agency) to invoices for a services company to working office documents, such as Excel spreadsheets. Moreover, "content" doesn't just mean traditional, text-based documents—it can also refer to multimedia files, the written copy on a website or content generated on social media.
The CMS market broadly divides into two main product groups:
Web content management. First, there are CMS for websites, often specified as "Web-CMS (W-CMS)." As generally understood, a W-CMS helps create published and unpublished content within a website that is intended for public distribution. The W-CMS platform can facilitate a blog and an online store, among other types of Web-based content.
Document management. Second, there are document management systems, sometimes labeled "DMS" to distinguish them from W-CMS. A DMS deals, for the most part, with electronic or printed content that has not been created for public distribution. Some examples would be internal documents that help a company function (e.g., company reports), or client-facing documents that facilitate transactions, such as contracts and invoices. Companies looking to store and serve documents more securely should consider using a virtual data room.

While some products in the CMS market are "integrated suites" (meaning they house multiple CMS applications all in one place), others are sold as "best-of-breed" systems (single applications). Below is a breakdown of applications that may be available either on their own, or bundled as part of a suite.
Further, since W-CMS and DMS solutions are architected to manage different types of content, they house distinct types of applications. Here are the application categories for each:
Application Categories: W-CMS
|Facilitates online authoring and publishing, including features such as text editors, Web page creation modules, blogging modules and workflow management.
|Helps you create and maintain an online store.
|Helps create with transactional content, including forms for clients to complete when submitting data or conducting an online purchase.
|Social networking
|Allows readers to interact with published content, including commenting and social sharing features.
|A Web-CMS can be also used to create a private internal website for distributing content amongst employees.
Application Categories: Document Management Software
|Document capture & image processing
|Helps you scan print documents and images and convert them into digital form.
|Digital asset management
|Enables the upload, storage and organization of media, such as videos and photos.
|Case management
|Helps you create documents for a business process, such as a claim, proposal, request or complaint. Workflow functions automate the process by generating forms, auto-populating fields and allowing for review and approvals.
|Contract management
|Helps track and automate transactional content, such as mortgages, forms and commercial contracts, throughout the document life cycle.
|Records management
|Helps with the organization, storage, movement, archiving and retrieval of company records.
|Business process management
|Supports advanced document-tracking features targeted at high-volume, content-centric businesses. Often includes tools for workflow management and business intelligence.
|Reporting & analytics
|Identifies and presents key insights extracted from a company's unstructured content, including reports for government compliance.
Buyers searching for CMS solutions will often encounter the term "enterprise content management," and a variety of products that fall under that umbrella. ECM is a qualifying term for CMS solutions that, in general, are designed for organizations with larger-scale needs.
There are a few ways to think of what makes a content management solution an "enterprise" tool:
Larger companies. "Enterprise" is a term often used to refer to very large companies (as opposed to SMBs, or "small to mid-sized businesses"). If a company is larger, it naturally produces a higher volume of content, and thus may require a higher degree of functionality. Conversely, "enterprise" vendors are those that have experience with, and have created systems to serve, high-volume content needs. Note, however, that an ECM solution may still be an option for smaller businesses that have a content-centric business model—especially since some ECM vendors have new pricing structures that provide a gateway for SMBs.
Company-wide scale. The term "enterprise" can refer to an organization that is structured as multiple departments that work together towards a unified business strategy. "Enterprise" content management, therefore, indicates a company-wide solution, as opposed to software designed for individual units or departments. Moreover, ECM can refer to company-wide strategies or best practices for content management.
DMS affiliation. Finally, most experts we talked to agree that "enterprise content management" is a term strongly connected to document management products; thus, enterprise content management solutions are less often affiliated with W-CMS, or website management.
Document management software demonstration video from EMC's Documentum
Let's say you work for a large gym chain, where your company's content is currently distributed between individual workers' computers at local gyms, in electronic records on the company servers and in your centralized customer relationship management (CRM) system. When a customer calls to make a complaint, past interactions might be trapped in someone's email inbox, in paper notes or only in employees' memories. Thus, even if the customer has called previously, you may have to start over each time a customer calls, which will slow issue resolution.
However, if you had case management software—a type of a document management solution—you could pull up the customer's account and see every meeting, phone call or email exchange your team has ever had regarding that complaint. You might also see a record, such as a gym contract, attached to the case to help you decide how to proceed with the complaint in question.
An inbox in IBM Case Management Navigator
A case management system will walk an employee through a set process of dealing with a customer complaint, where at each step, they can task the next step to the most relevant employee. When a complaint is resolved, a manager or administrator can close the case. This type of software can benefit the entire company, providing ready access to reports that show key performance metrics and progress towards resolving open claims.
To sort through the many content management systems and products that exist and start your comparison, it helps to identify yourself with one of the buyer profiles we commonly see in this market:
Upgrading from print-document processes. Many buyers are from small businesses that are evaluating a CMS for the first time. They are currently using a desktop application such as Microsoft Word, with files stored on individual desktop computers or as printed-out copies, and are looking to digitize records and modernize how the company's documents are organized and processed. These buyers would need a starter to mid-range document management solution.
Large enterprise. Large firms tend to have multiple software systems that need to interact with the CMS, and may require extensive customizations. They may also have different departments that are already using a variety of CMS solutions, and want a global solution to replace these departmental systems. Generally, these firms are looking to ensure security, create a consistent process across the organization and conduct analyses to improve business processes. These buyers would need an enterprise content management solution.
Departmental buyers. Some buyers want to manage content only for a specific department. For instance, human resources may require a system that organizes confidential employee records and helps them onboard new employees. Meanwhile, sales teams may require applications that integrate with their customer relationship management software (e.g., Salesforce).
Highly regulated industries. Regulated industries such as banks, health care and government also have very strict guidelines for protecting sensitive documents. They also have substantial requirements around reporting. There are specialized CMS products dedicated to compliance, audit trails and reports that serve this market well.
Creating a website with greater functionality. Some buyers are looking for a Web content management system to create a website for their company for the first time, while others are searching for a system that can better leverage the Web either for online marketing or for business operations. These buyers want a user-friendly W-CMS solution that has the most up-to-date tools for engaging readers online.
Companies that adopt the right types of content management software may realize many benefits, such as:
Companies that fail to realize some of these core benefits often do so because they:
As you compare content management software, it's important to keep the following industry trends in mind:
Cloud-based CMS. The biggest trend is the movement of document management and Web content management to the cloud. While many companies may have used an on-premise company intranet for content management for some time, companies such as M-Files, Acquia and SpringCM are now offering an alternative in the form of cloud-based subscription options.
Collaboration. Today, content is often created by multiple authors—which means they need the tools to share, comment on and discuss work as they go. In the first year that Microsoft Sharepoint acquired the chat tool Yammer, for example, subscriptions for Yammer grew 55 percent, indicating that social and collaboration tools that integrate with content management solutions are becoming increasingly essential.
Compliance. The Managing Government Records Directive, signed into law in 2012 by the Obama administration, in addition to existing records regulations, may well fuel growth in the CMS market. These laws focus on banks, health and government organizations, and create strict requirements for digital recordkeeping, security and audits. Document management solutions can help highly regulated organizations in these industries comply with ever-changing government criteria and standards.
Evaluating new content management software can be a daunting task—there are many variables to consider and hundreds of products from which to choose.
We recently surveyed software buyers across multiple industries to determine which tactics are most effective for selecting software. Top methods include checking vendor references, having agreements reviewed by an attorney, assessing financial viability of vendors and preparing a request for proposal (RFP).
By sticking to selection tactics that fall in the "most effective" quadrant and avoiding tactics in the "least effective" quadrant, you can ensure your time is spent wisely in finding the right software.
Content management software pricing generally falls into one of two categories:
|Pricing Model
|Subscription-based, or "Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)"
|A monthly or annual fee based on the number of users who access the system and/or the amount of storage space used.
|M-Files, Fabasoft, Alfresco, SpringCM, Sharepoint
|Perpetual license fee
|A one-time, per-user or per-computer fee. Some products allow multiple users on a single license, while others require an additional license for each user. Updates, support and training may be a separate cost.

New SharkVac XL™ Now Cleans Both Pool Floor And Walls, Using Up To 94% Less Energy
Hayward's new robotic cleaner also has a host of other convenient features.
For more information, contact:
Gary Young
Phone: 908.351.5400 x4252
Email: email@example.com
ELIZABETH, NJ (November 06, 2012) Hayward Pool Products just went to the head of the class with SharkVAC™ XL, a smart robotic pool cleaner. The new SharkVAC XL now cleans both pool floors and walls efficiently while using up to 94 percent less energy than traditional pressure cleaners.
SharkVAC XL's sleek, low-profile design is distinctive among pool cleaners because of its easy top-access. Quick debris removal and easy clean-up is assured because it does not have to be turned over to be emptied. Additionally, SharkVAC XL features two fine porosity filter elements that pick up the finest debris and are a snap to clean. Pool owners simply remove the elements and rinse them with a garden hose. For pools with larger debris, SharkVAC XL offers a Spring Cleanup Filter accessory that is disposable.
Because SharkVAC XL runs separately from pools' pump and filter systems, the 3-hour cleaning cycle is conducted with optimal efficiency. This robotic cleaner cleans all residential pool surfaces -- gunite, vinyl or fiberglass – up to 20 x 40 feet.
SharkVAC XL comes equipped with an out-of-water sensor that prevents it from starting when it is connected to a timer and is out of the water -- protecting the cleaner. Plus, a beach-entry sensor detects when it's climbing out of water, alerting the cleaner to reverse its direction.
The new SharkVAC XL comes with a two year warranty and is available with or without a convenient caddy cart.

I cannot be the only one...who has mixed feelings about summer. Those days of carefree hours in the sun or staying up late in the warm evenings are no more. Now my summer consist of scrambling to create a schedule for my six year old that will keep him occupied, well supervised, and allow me to keep my already very part-time, part-time job. All of this combined makes it difficult to love summer as much as I used to.
The best choice for our little family of three is summer camp. While it can be costly, it seems to be a necessary cost, and in such cases it's best to try not to think about the money and think about the peace of mind summer camp offers.
Love Bull Frog
With the days of summer quickly approaching it is time for me to start stocking up on our Summer Camp Essentials, starting with these:
1. Sunscreen and/or Sunblock
The summer camp Sonny Boy attends has a mandatory sunblock applying time written right into the daily schedule. Last year I thought the spray can sunblock would be easier for my then five year old to apply, but was proved wrong when I picked him up from camp and was unable to keep a grip on his over sun protected greasy arms...this year we are going old school pasty white rub on lotion.
2. Hat...any style will do, just bring a HAT.
Outside all day is a great way to take in all that summer camps have to offer, but squinting in the sun can put a serious damper on your camper's ability to have a good time. My boy tends to go for a baseball cap, while this all fine and dandy for shading his eyes from the sun, a baseball cap is usually made of a thick twill which causes serious sweaty head issues. This year I am opting for a more weather friendly version of the good old hat with lots of mesh to help relive a little of that sweat.
3. Backpack
Not only do your kids need sunblock and a hat, they will need a multitude of things to survive the summer camp lifestyle, and a sturdy backpack will help them carry their goods to and fro....to read the rest of my summer camp essentials list, please visit me at my blog here: I Cannot be the Only One...

It's crazy how we have to plan for camps this early in the spring! Nice ideas you have for summer camp items.
