A psyker is a person who posses a certain paranormal power either from FEV like the Master's experiments and Melchior, Radiation like the Beastlords, natural selection like Hakunin or 200 years of seclusion in a glass jar like Professor Calvert.
After being dipped in FEV vats, absorbing some other people and being connected to the LA Vault computer, the Master gained some psychic powers the extent of which is unknown. He was able to attack humans mentally, although his attacks could be repelled with proper training. The Master was able to somehow bring forth psychic abilities in certain humans after they were injected with FEV (usually the pineal gland, but also the Amygdalae or Medulla), but most of the experiments were failures (resulting in insanity) or used to line the Corridor of Revulsion. There were four psykers in the Master's lair:
- Wiggum was electrokinetic-dominant[1]
- Lucy was telekinetic-dominant and a minor photokinetic[2]
- Moore was pyrokinetic-dominant[3]
- Gideon was a receiving-telepathic-dominant (without the ability to control his telepathy, requiring the psychic nullifier to block incoming thoughts) with minor photokinetic abilities.[4]
All four of them died when the Cathedral was vaporized in nuclear fire.
Additionally, Chuck in Adytum appears to have some psychic powers.
Player abilities
The ability to resist the Master's psychic attacks is represented in the SPECIAL system by the Mental Block perk.
Fallout 2
- Hakunin, the Arroyo shaman, apparently also possessed some telepathic abilities, as he was able to speak to the Chosen One in his dreams (the Chosen One was able to receive it and record it to his PIP-Boy).
- Melchior, miner from Redding, was able to summon dangerous animals (deathclaws, fire geckos, mole rats), when he became mutated by FEV in Mariposa Military Base.
- Keeng Ra'at - a big, red-eyed albino mole rat, seems to be able to control an army of smaller mutant rodents.
Fallout 3
- Professor Calvert - one of the residents of Point Lookout, he achieved psionic powers after an experimental procedure. When his brain was extracted from his body (in the same fashion as for robobrain models) and put into a jar, he gained an ability to communicate with people all around the region by entering their minds. To a person, it appeared like a mysterious voice in their head.
- Bloomseer Poplar - is one of the members of the Treeminders and can predict one's future. She describes the settings of some of the major quests that can be done like The Superhuman Gambit; "I see a battle between insects and industry, and the men who control them..."
- The AntAgonizer - appears to have some sort of psychic control over giant ants. It started when she was a child and her parents were killed by ants but she was spared. Later she gained control over them and used them to harass the townspeople.
- Harold - FEV-mutant with a strange connection to Bob the tree growing from his head.
Fallout Tactics
|The following is based on Fallout Tactics and some details might contradict canon.
A group of tribals known as the Beastlords had a kind of psychic control over animals. This power was caused by decades of exposure to an unknown special form of radiation present within Mardin's underground caves.
Fallout: New Vegas
- The Forecaster is a child who can see into the future, but can't control his powers. He needs his "medicine" to keep him from over-thinking, thus helping control his headaches. For 100 caps, though, he will forgo his medication and look into the future for the Courier.
- Nightkin inside Black Rock cave seem to have some paranormal knowledge of events and characters, if having completed the quest Crazy, Crazy, Crazy by repairing Rhonda they will tell the "voices" said things that will happen in the main storyline, as well as special comments about the companions, e.g. upon bringing Craig Boone as a companion, they will comment "silent man knows more about the spiked crowns than what he says" referring that Boone knows more about the Great Khans than what he says (the Bitter Springs Incident).
Fallout 4
Mama Murphy in the Museum of Freedom in Concord forsees the Sole Survivor being attacked by a deathclaw outside the building during When Freedom Calls. It ends up coming true soon after. She was also the one who told Preston Garvey and the settlers to go to Sanctuary.
Fallout Online
|The following is based on pre-release information for the canceled online game codenamed Project V13 and is not considered canon.
"Sykers" were confirmed within the Bethesda Softworks LLC v. Interplay Entertainment Corporation court case to be present within the design wiki for Fallout Online[5]. It is not known if the difference in spelling is attributable to a stenographer's error.
Some kind of psychic powers appears in every Fallout game, although Chris Avellone believes it creates narrative difficulties for the Fallout writers, as stated in Fallout Bible 3. Avellone says:
- For Fallout fan-fiction purposes, you are welcome to make use of the psykers and their potential from Fallout, but I'd be careful - the psykers in Fallout show some pretty over-the-top mutations that could take the world to Childhood's End faster than you can say "uh, his eyes are glowing?"
Behind the scenes
The term "psyker" is often attributed to the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop games that likely coined it; differing in Warhammer 40k is that Psykers don't have psychic powers as such, but rather a connection to the raw potential that makes up an alternative dimension, called the Warp, which they can manipulate through spells and mental commands.

The findings are presented in Maria Jonstrup's thesis. The research is so far only research, and has therefore only been tested in the laboratory, but Maria Jonstrup is optimistic about its future potential.
"In the long term it should be possible for textile factories in India, China and Bangladesh to use the technique. If it works on a laboratory scale it is quite likely that it will also work in a real-life situation," she says.
While working on her thesis, she has conducted experiments with both fungal enzymes and bacteria from the drains at textile industry and municipal wastewater treatment plants. However, it was only when she combined two different types of purification process, one biological and one chemical, that the breakthrough came.
"First, microorganisms break down the dyes in a reactor. This biological step is the most important. However, to be certain that the water is completely purified, I also use some chemicals. Small amounts of iron and hydrogen peroxide in combination with UV light break down even the most difficult structures," she explains.
A combination of both biological and chemical purification is already used in some places, but these methods are rarely effective, which means that large quantities of hazardous chemicals are released.
Soon, two Master's students will be taking over the baton. They will spend a year testing the technique in larger volumes of water, which more closely reflect the conditions in real textile factories. Their challenge will be to study how the UV light in the chemical stage could be replaced with normal sunlight. Maria Jonstrup will be their supervisor. After that it is hoped that the technique will be tested 'live', in a real factory.
"Through contacts with the Swedish clothing company Indiska Magasinet and their suppliers, we have already taken samples and performed tests at a factory in India. Because clothing manufacture has received quite a bad reputation over recent years, it can otherwise be quite difficult to gain access to the factories," she explains.
One obstacle on the path to implementation is legislation. The law only stipulates that the water is to be clean. This has made it legally permissible to filter out large amounts of environmentally hazardous mud and dump it on agricultural land and elsewhere -- since the water itself is clean!
"But sometimes factories don't bother to clean the water at all and only do it when the inspectors come round," she says.

The saddest thing about the Bush Administration's surge of public relations in favor of the war in Iraq this week is how predictable it has become for them to make their case for war around the anniversary of 9/11.
Five years ago today -- September 12, 2002 -- President Bush made his case for war at the United Nations. He was wrong. The people who attacked us on 9/11 were in Afghanistan, not Iraq, and his case was built on exaggerated fears and empty evidence.
But conventional thinking in Washington lined up for war. Too many politicians feared looking weak and failed to ask hard questions. Too many took the President at his word instead of reading the intelligence for themselves. Congress gave the President the authority to go to war, and our only opportunity to stop the war was lost.
I made a different judgment. I opposed this war from the beginning. I opposed the war in 2002. I opposed it in 2003. I opposed it in 2004. I opposed it in 2005. I opposed it in 2006. And I introduced a plan this January to remove all of our combat brigades by March 2008.
The time to end this war is now. My plan for turning the page in Iraq is clear:
[] remove our combat troops from Iraq's civil war by the end of 2008
[] take a new approach to press for reconciliation within Iraq
[] escalate our diplomacy with all of Iraq's neighbors and the United Nations
[] confront the human costs of this war directly with increased humanitarian aid
Our troops have performed brilliantly, but let me be clear: there is no military solution in Iraq, and there never was. The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq's leaders to resolve their civil war is to begin to remove our combat troops immediately.
Not in six months or a year -- now.
We must get out strategically and carefully, but our drawdown should proceed at a steady pace of one or two brigades each month. If we start now, all of our combat brigades should be out of Iraq by the end of next year.
While we change the dynamic within Iraq, we must surge our diplomacy in the region. We need to launch the most aggressive diplomatic effort in recent history to reach a new compact in the region. This compact must secure Iraq's borders, keep neighbors from meddling, isolate al Qaeda, and support Iraq's unity.
Conventional thinking in Washington says Presidents cannot lead this diplomacy. But I think the American people know better. Not talking doesn't make us look tough -- it makes us look arrogant. And it doesn't get results.
Strong Presidents tell their adversaries where they stand, and that's what I would do. Now is the time for tough and sustained diplomacy backed by real pressure. It's time to rally the region and the world to our side.
The final part of my plan is a major international initiative to address Iraq's humanitarian crisis.
There's no military solution that can reunite a family or resettle an orphaned child. It's time to form an international working group with the countries in the region, our European and Asian friends, and the United Nations.
We should increase our support for displaced Iraqis and expand access to social services for refugees in neighboring countries. It's also time to go to our friends and allies -- and all the members of our original coalition in Iraq -- to find homes for the many Iraqis who are in desperate need of asylum.
As Americans, we must keep faith with Iraqis who kept faith with us and take responsibility for our own actions: I welcome all of the folks who have changed their position on the war over these last months and years. We need more of those votes to change if we're going to change the direction of this war. But if we've learned one thing from Iraq, it's that the judgment that matters most is the judgment that's made first.
I opposed this war from the beginning, and I want to bring this country together to end this war now. The American people have the right instincts on Iraq. It's time to heed their judgment.
We have the power to do this -- not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans. We don't have to wait until George Bush is gone from office -- we can begin to end this war today, right now.
It's time reclaim our foreign policy. It's time to reclaim our politics. It's time to lead this country -- and this world -- to a new dawn of peace and unity.

Do you have a Savvy Drinker in your life? Here are some fun gift ideas that are a little off the beaten path:
1. Hario Mizudashi Cold Brewer (ritualroasters.com), $25. This slow, cold brewer takes about 18-25 hours per batch, but for those who don't mind the wait, it delivers a rich, low acidity cup of chilled joe that is perfect for cocktails–or when summer comes back–iced coffee!
2. DIY Cocktail Bitters Kit (uncommongifts.com), $30. A perfect gift for the mixologist that likes to start from scratch, seriously. Geeky enough for the aficionado but easy enough for the novice, this kit as everything you need to make your own artisanal bitters.
3. Tea Infuser Travel Mug (momastore.org), $20. It's high time that the tea drinker was also considered for needing beverages-on-the-go. Simply add your tea into the the double-walled diffuser, and hit the road while your tea steeps. This elegant cup was featured in MoMa's 2010 exhibit "Counter Space", which focused on items that revolutionized the kitchen. BPA free, microwave OK, dishwasher safe, all good things.
4. Wrought Iron Handbag Wine Cork Art Cage (homewetbar.com), $26. Are homeless corks taking over your life?? Here is an artful home for them, though admittedly more for the ladies. But don't worry guys, you can also get one in the shape of a boot, bottle or … slot machine?
5. A Rare Tea: Phoenix Ginger Flower, 2 oz (inpursuitoftea.com), $29. This exquisite Chinese tea is from Wu Dong Mountain in the Guangdong Province. This hand-twisted tea is noted for its "heady, honey-sweet aromas" and "deep flavors of ripe melon and citrus." (Side note: 2 oz of tea will deliver about 25 8-oz cups.)
6. Dave Wondrich's "Imbibe! From Absinthe Cocktail to Whiskey Smash, A Salute in Stories and Drinks to "Professor" Jerry Thomas, Pioneer of the American Bar", (amazon.com), $20. Honestly, I think the title says it all… It is a truly great read from one of the leading voices in the mixology scene.
7. Rabbit Wine Stoppers (containerstore.com and elsewhere), $5 each. These colorful wine stoppers preserve what you can't finish in that bottle (if that ever happens!). May not be exciting in their own right, but paired with a bottle of that favorite something, it makes a deliciously practical gift.
8. Letherbee Malört (slopecellars.com), $38/Liter … but also available in 200ml flask size for under $30. Swedish for wormwood, this obscure liqueur from that beloved Chicago trio has been getting a lot of attention for its range of flavors, and not always pleasant ones! So give that hardcore mixologist in your life the "Malört face", the perfect gift for those who savor the more unusual things in their glass …
9. Whiskey Stones (thinkgeek.com), $20-30. Want the chill of ice in that drink without the dilution? These soapstone (mined in Vermont) cubes manage just that and travel well in the carrying bag, included. Your choice of package of 9 or 18.
10. And finally, the World Atlas of Wine (iTunes.apple.com), $25. This comprehensive tome from wine superstars Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson now comes in an interactive version for the iPad. For me, the best parts are the maps of all wine regions, which include not only topographical detail of all appellations but also locations of key producers. And so much easier to carry around than the physical book!
Please share any other ideas for the holidays … and good luck with the shopping!

My philosophy is: Fail early, so you can eventually succeed.
The Center for Learning Through Action
Who We Are
The Center for Learning Through Action facilitates experiential opportunities to deepen student learning, support faculty initiatives, and cultivate engagement with our broader community.
NMH has had a long and proud history of providing a distinctive and holistic education to a diverse student body. The Center for Learning Through Action (CLA) continues our school's tradition and long-standing reputation as an innovative, forward-thinking educational leader.
In support of the school's mission to "engage the intellect, compassion and talents of our students, empowering them to act with humanity and purpose," the CLA coordinates the efforts of NMH's experiential programs and initiatives, which include the Global Engagement Office, the Work program, the Farm Program, Service Learning, Outdoor Outreach, the Social Entrepreneurship program, and Sustainability Education.
With programs centering around themes of global and community engagement, service, social entrepreneurship, environmental stewardship and sustainability, and the value of hands-on hard work, the CLA serves as NMH's hub for the provision and development of an innovative hybrid of place-based, experiential, global, and service learning initiatives.
The CLA works to engage faculty, staff and students in collaborative initiatives to create innovative, engaged, and transformative learning and teaching experiences. It is our goal to design opportunities that promote a more well-rounded and coherent educational experience for our students and inspire them to think in terms of systems rather than subjects.
Programs Overview
Farm Program
The NMH farm is a small, diversified operation that has been a part of school life since 1879. It is where many of our most cherished values — curiosity, hard work, creativity, and stewardship — come together. Our educational farm serves as a science lab, a work-project site, and even a place to practice a bit of entrepreneurship. The farm is also the source of some of the delicious fresh food served in our dining hall.
- Jake Morrow, Farm Program Director
- Jeff Mott, Farm Assistant
- Chaldea Deyman, Farm Assistant
Global Engagement Office (GEO)
The Global Engagement Office (GEO) supports a comprehensive global education and services program consisting of domestic and international study-away programs, international student support and services, and globally themed programming. GEO strives to inspire a globally informed and compassionate community, and to be attentive to the needs and interests of our diverse, multinational, and multicultural student body.
- Angela Yang-Handy, Dean of Global, Experiential, and Community Engagement
- Jensi Rovang, administrator, Study Abroad and Experiential Programs
- Tami Brunelle, International Student Program Coordinator
- Jennifer Keator, coordinator, Global Ambassador Program
Outdoor Outreach, Outdoor Program
The Outdoor Program has two main areas of focus: Outdoor Team and Outdoor Outreach. The Outdoor Team involves girls and boys from novice to expert in activities such as mountain biking, canoeing, off-road triathlons, road biking, and stand-up-paddle boarding. The team meets in the fall and spring terms, and participants receive an athletic credit. Outdoor Outreach supports important school activities such as freshman and sophomore orientations, Mountain Day, the Source To Sea Connecticut River Cleanup, community ice skating, the Student Activities Program, and academic year and summer programming for NMH special-interest groups.
- Steve Allison, Director of the Outdoor Program
Service-Learning Program
The Service-Learning Program facilitates meaningful service experiences that encourage students and the NMH community at large to make a positive impact in their local and global communities. Service-learning opportunities at NMH are organized around three core programs: community engagement, student-led global initiatives, and service travel. Through these experiences, our students begin to understand the complex challenges of communities near and far, and how they can be agents of change.
- Kensey Batchelder, Director of Work and Service Learning
Social Entrepreneurship Program
The Social Entrepreneurship Program at NMH includes academic courses, workshops, outside speakers, and conferences. The cornerstone of the program is our selective, year-long Rhodes Fellowship Course, in which juniors develop the skills necessary to launch their own enterprises. Social entrepreneurship is in line with our mission and our school's greater vision of "education in action." Students actively engaged in social entrepreneurship are also inherently focused on "resilience, sustainability, and citizenship."
- Grant Gonzalez, Director of the Social Entrepreneurship Program
Sustainability Education, Office of Sustainability
The NMH Office of Sustainability guides students as they learn how to be effective and engaged stewards of environmental, social, and economic resources. Educational sustainability programs such as the Collaborative Curriculum Project, Farmers' Market Teach-In, Green Cup Challenge, and Ecoleaders make our campus a vibrant living laboratory. The school's curriculum, operations, policy, and culture all hold sustainability as a central tenet, helping our community to protect the integrity of future generations' quality of life.
- Becca Malloy, Director of Sustainability
Work Program
The Work Program is a cornerstone feature of an NMH education. At NMH, all students, as stated in our mission, "participate equally in the daily work of the school so that they may cultivate a respect for the dignity of labor and service to the community both within and beyond the school." Students and adults work together daily to provide essential work to the school community. Participation in this work by all students on campus has been an integral component of the curriculum since the founding of the school, and remains a graduation requirement.
- Kensey Batchelder, Director of Work and Service Learning
At this annual event, students participate in, learn about, and reflect on a range of hands-on activities. This event underscores the many ways the seven CLA programs support NMH's mission to empower students to act with humanity and purpose — on campus, in the local community, and as they travel around the globe.

There's no arrr-guing that pirates are in.
As of last weekend, Disney had plundered $1 billion worldwide with "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," and International Talk Like a Pirate Day -- that's Sept. 19, for you landlubbers -- has gone from an inside joke between two friends to a mock holiday celebrated in more than 40 countries.
Yet tales of Jewish piracy, which stretch back thousands of years, aren't in the public's consciousness, and Hollywood even has been known to remove a pirate's Jewish background. As a result, we're stuck with portrayals of pirates as wayward English seamen on a murderous rampage.
But now a forthcoming book hopes to change that image by focusing on Ladino-speaking Jews whose piracy grew out of the Inquisition. "The Jewish pirates were Sephardic. Once they were kicked out of Spain [in 1492], the more adventurous Jews went to the New World," said Ed Kritzler, whose yet-untitled book on Jewish pirates will be published by Doubleday in spring 2007.
Jewish piracy has been around since well before the Barbary pirates first preyed on ships during the Crusades. In the time of the Second Temple, Jewish historian Flavius Josephus records that Hyrcanus accussed Aristobulus of "acts of piracy at sea."
Kritzler has studied pirates for 40 years, and said that the public is fascinated with them because they're "rugged individuals in a world of conformity. They carved their own identity, independent of the rules and strictures of society."
But determining the exact number of Jewish pirates is difficult, Kritzler said, because many of them traveled as Conversos, or converts to Christianity, and practiced their Judaism in secret.
While some Jews, like Samuel Pallache, took up piracy in part to help make a better life for expelled Spanish Jews, Kritzler said others were motivated by revenge for the Inquisition.
One such pirate was Moses Cohen Henriques, who helped plan one of history's largest heists against Spain. In 1628, Henriques set sail with Dutch West India Co. Admiral Piet Hein, whose own hatred of Spain was fueled by four years spent as a galley slave aboard a Spanish ship. Henriques and Hein boarded Spanish ships off Cuba and seized shipments of New World gold and silver worth in today's dollars about the same as Disney's total box office for "Dead Man's Chest."
Henriques set up his own pirate island off the coast of Brazil afterward, and even though his role in the raid was disclosed during the Spanish Inquisition, he was never caught, Kritzler told The Journal.
Another Sephardic pirate played a pivotal role in American history. In the book "Jews on the Frontier" (Rachelle Simon, 1991), Rabbi I. Harold Sharfman recounts the tale of Sephardic Jewish pirate Jean Lafitte, whose Conversos grandmother and mother fled Spain for France in 1765, after his maternal grandfather was put to death by the Inquisition for "Judaizing."
Referred to as The Corsair, Lafitte went on to establish a pirate kingdom in the swamps of New Orleans, and led more than 1,000 men during the War of 1812. After being run out of New Orleans in 1817, Lafitte re-established his kingdom on the island of Galveston, Texas, which was known as Campeche. During Mexico's fight for independence, revolutionaries encouraged Lafitte to attack Spanish ships and keep the booty.
But in the 1958 film "The Buccaneer," starring Yul Brynner as Lafitte, any mention of the pirate's Jewish heritage was stripped away.

A Proper Place

Music by Curtis Rhodes and lyrics by Leslie Becker
Additional lyrics by Curtis Rhodes
"It is 1902. Mayfair, England. When an upper class British family is shipwrecked on an island with only their butler to help them survive, traditional class systems are questioned and unexpected love blossoms. Based on J. M. Barrie's play The Admirable Crichton, this musical fantasy with a sumptuous score, dubbed a 'cross between Downton Abbey and Gilligan's Island,' is a classic tale of equality, survival and forbidden love."
Festival Cabaret
10 PM, Gelston House
Jan. 19
Theory of Relativity
1 PM, Goodspeed Opera House
Music and lyrics by Neil Bartram
Book by Brian Hill
"This unconventional new musical from the writers of The Story of My Life is a joyous and moving look at our surprisingly interconnected lives. Through a collection of songs, scenes and monologues, The Theory of Relativity introduces a compelling array of characters experiencing the joys and heartbreaks, the liaisons and losses, the inevitability and the wonder of human connection."
Meet the Writers Reception

Gain insight into the inspirations and processes of the writers. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres and cash bar.

This is a photo and video account of my day with Wildlife Alliance in Cambodia… I was able to visit 2 of Wildlife Alliance's projects: preventing illegal poaching through ranger patrol and re-foresting destroyed land while empowering and educating local citizens on the importance of protecting and living off of the environment. It was an exciting visit facilitated by knowledgable, committed, and passionate staff.
The Wildlife Alliance bus for youth program to environmental awareness and animal protection activities such as the animal rescue rehabilitation center.
I received a formal full-military salute and welcome to the Ranger facilities. Currently the patrol stations are strategically placed along the water transport and road transport areas, but with increased control, those who are willing to break the law are trying to find creative ways to avoid the authority of Wildlife Alliance.
Confiscated motorbikes from poachers – for example when they are caught taking out a protected wood that is worth a LOT on the market … risking class 1 misdemeanor and thrown into jail immediately.
Confiscated trappings
The Rangers and Me – I asked one of the rangers what brought him to Wildlife Alliance, and he said his "love of forest, animals, and conservation." I responded if he was not with WA where would he be – and he said he was previously with the Cambodian Royal Embassy Military.
Patrolling the jungle and "Viper Valley" for poachers and illegal activity, ambushing culprits, and releasing trapped endangered animals back to their homes – all in a normal day with Wildlife Alliance's Rangers.
Coming across a fishing boat – checking for illegally stored animals/plants
One of the newer rangers manning the boat and Eddie
Past the ecotourism village and the windy roads lined by houses now growing sustainable farming (not slash-and-burn farming) thanks to Wildlife Alliance, deep into the forest and over a small river – we arrived at the re-forestation nursery and staff house. There we were welcomed by the 2 live in staff overseeing the re-forestation – Annette and Ariel. They were warm and welcoming sharing stories and experiences, along with challenges and hopes for the project and living so far separated from the city.
Next morning arrival of the nursery workers from the local town – this is a typical mode of transportation for workers here in Cambodia
Preparing the locally sourced (scavenged, tested, and researched from the local forest) seeds for planting
Misting the babies/seedlings
Once the seedlings have graduated, they are moved to larger plant holdings under the shade-nets
With Wildlife Alliance Staff at the Nursery
At the time there were 22 workers but I was told that during planting season there could be as many as 80 – all from local villages. It was wonderful to learn that the villagers felt invested in the land that they previously used to burn and take from, now working to create and plant back into. This program was changing the mentality for local villagers because they now could identify with not only the hard work that went into re-creating the forest but also taking care of it and sustaining… with a reward of all the fruits and vegetables it could provide. And what's more- once these were planted… the land became officially protected even by government from development and destruction. So far this project has plotted over 37,000 trees and almost 500 hectares to date.

White Sox left-hander John Danks turned down a multiyear contract two years ago, and that move could pay off soon.
Danks could be assured close to $6 million for 2011, as the Sox and Danks' representatives will exchange salary arbitration numbers Tuesday if an agreement isn't reached.
Danks, 25, is expected to receive a healthy raise from his $3.45 million salary in 2010 on the basis of his career highs in wins (15) and innings pitched (213), as well as limiting opponents to a .237 batting average. …

Remember the good ol' days when Billy Bob Thornton's name was accompanied by the title "writer-director" instead of "Angelina's ex?" They're back.
"I just finished directing again for the first time in eleven years," says Thornton, who most recently voiced a character in this weekend's box office champ "Puss 'N Boots." "It's a movie called 'Jayne Mansfield's Car.' It takes place in the 1960s and we're hoping that it will come out sometimes late spring or in the fall of next year. We literally just finished it, so we're still working in postproduction on it. It's a movie that stars myself and Robert Duvall, John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Ray Stevenson and Frances O'Connor. It's a very nice bunch of folks, and a great experience."
"Tonally it's 'Sling Blade'-like," he explains, harkening back to his first feature behind the camera, for which he won an Oscar for original screenplay. "I think there's probably more humor in it than 'Sling Blade' but, once again, very dark humor – as usual. And just so you know, Jayne Mansfield is more of a metaphor for the movie. It's not about Jayne Mansfield's death or anything like that. It's mentioned, but that's not what it's about. It's really about how war affects different generations, and done in sort of a darkly humorous way. And about the examination of life and death and the fear and fascination with both."
U.S. & World
"There aren't many movies right now that are my style of movies," he explains of what motivated to self-generate a new project. "The old days are kind of whimpering a little. And I said, 'Well, instead of complaining, I used to write my own stuff – Do it again.' And I'm right now in my career just looking at it like I'm starting all over. Like I'm a young filmmaker."
Thornton tells PopcornBiz getting back behind the camera wasn't exactly like getting back on a bicycle. "It's so hard," he says. "There's so much preparation that goes into it. We're shooting Georgia in a hundred degree weather all the time. You don't really have time to get nervous much, to tell you the truth. You get nervous when you're done and they're going to throw it out there to the public. That's when I get nervous. But I've got to say we're very proud of this movie. So if it falls on its ass, I know we did it – you know what I mean?"

DOVER — The Dover Youth Football League is working to resolve the issue of playing time on its traveling teams.
League president Dean Parmer said parents have approached him with concerns about the amount of playing time each player receives during games. The issue came to a head during a meeting with parents last month and at a DYFL board meeting on Tuesday.
"We're still trying to work through it," Parmer said.
Parmer said there are approximately 72 players divided between DYFL's "A" and "B" teams, with the "A" team consisting mostly of sixth graders and most of the fifth-grade players on the "B" team.
The teams play in the Seacoast Junior Football League, which consists of teams from Dover, Portsmouth, Durham and communities as far away as Tewksbury, Mass. Each team in the league plays seven regular-season games followed by playoffs. Parmer said the league is about halfway through its season.
Parmer said the challenge the league faces is to form a team that is not so small that it can withstand inevitable injuries and players leaving the team for whatever reason, and not so big that every player can expect a reasonable amount of playing time.
Parmer said the sixth-grade team's roster consists of 40 players, making it a challenge to ensure that each member gets adequate playing time in each contest.
"It's too many kids on one team," Parmer said. "The idea is to get all these kids into the game and get them playing time, which hasn't worked out like it should."
Parmer said interest in the program was higher this year than in past years.
"Maybe 70 (among the two teams) was too much," he continued. "Maybe we should have said that when we get to 60, we have to cut off registration. We didn't. We don't want to turn anyone away. I hate cutting off registration."
The unintended consequence of choosing not to cut off registration, however, was a glut of players on one roster. Parmer said in years past, there would be more than one "A" or "B" team.
Although the league does not have an official minimum-play rule, similar to ones used in other youth sports, Parmer said the board is working with the coaches to ensure that each player gets the proper amount of playing time.
"Our philosophy is to get the kids the experience in games and in practices," Parmer said. "We've challenged these coaches to get a good rotation. We have to get this thing to work. It's not going to be perfect. Not everyone will get the same number of plays, but we don't want anyone to get in fewer than eight or 10 plays per game."
Parmer said the goal will be to make a good faith effort to get every player in for at least 10 plays a game. But, he noted, that isn't always easy.
"Somebody comes out if they're hurt, or the ref sees there's no mouthpiece in there, so he has to sit out three plays," Parmer said. "Your whole rotation with 40 or so kids can get messed up. If a player is injured and not feeling well you might only want to get them in a few plays. But our coaches are aware of that."
Parmer said at the end of the season, any parent who is upset about his child's playing time can request a refund. The fee to play for DYFL is $115, which includes use of equipment and uniform.
"There are some people who are upset, and rightfully so," Parmer said. "We don't want people to have a bad taste in their mouths."

'Horror,' UN Sec. Council says at S Sudan massacre
NAIROBI, Kenya -- The U.N. Security Council on Thursday expressed "horror" at the recent massacre of several hundred civilians in South Sudan, while the U.S. ambassador to the world body said she fears a deepening human catastrophe.
The strongly worded Security Council statement deplored the killings last week in Bentiu, the capital of oil-producing Unity state, as well as the use of radio broadcasts to "foment hate and sexual violence." It said council members may be willing to impose sanctions if attacks on civilians continue.
"The world's newest state is clearly on a precipice," said U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power, who demanded that the nation's leaders end the violence. "Failure to take bold action now very well could push South Sudan into a cycle of retaliatory ethnic killing, a deepening civil war, and an even more devastating humanitarian catastrophe."
The condemnations come about 10 days after rebel fighters from the Nuer ethnic group took control of Bentiu and slaughtered non-Nuer civilians in the town mosque, the hospital and on streets, leaving "piles and piles" of bodies, according to the U.N.'s top aid official in the country.
Melker Mabeck, the outgoing head of the International Committee of the Red Cross delegation in South Sudan, called the conflict's ethnic component worrying.
"Because it can reach a point where the political efforts that we hope make progress might be overrun by these kinds of dynamics, so that even if a political solution is found the rifts between the different ethnic groups is too wide to bridge," he said.
President Salva Kiir fired the country's top military officer, Chief of Staff Gen. James Hoth Mai, further isolating the Nuer group politically. Mai is Nuer and his command position, which he held since 2009, was frequently cited as an example of the ethnic diversity of the government led by Kiir, an ethnic Dinka.
Mai's removal further freezes a powerful minority out of top government positions, said Casie Copeland, a South Sudan analyst for the International Crisis Group.
"The move will make many Nuer who remain with the government nervous," she said.
Kiir also relieved his director of military intelligence, a Nuer, following his testimony at a recent treason trial that appeared to politicize the army, said Copeland. The newly named replacements are Dinka, like the president, she said.
Col. Philip Aguer, South Sudan's military spokesman, noted that chiefs of staff are posts not for life, and that the military implements the president's decisions. It is only the second change in the top military position since 2005, Aguer said.
A spokesman for the rebels, Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, said the firing of Mai and the director of military intelligence "marks the beginning of an imminent bloodbath, escalation and regionalization of the conflict."
"Kiir has finally unplugged the last safety valve and glue that had partially kept together his faltering regime in the last four months," Koang said.
Aguer reported battles in Jonglei state on Wednesday around the town of Renk, which he said is in the military's control. The rebels say they now control Renk. It was impossible to immediately reconcile the accounts.
The situation in Bentiu remains calm but the city is in rebel control, he said.
Violence has been raging in South Sudan since mid-December, when Kiir accused Machar of leading a coup. About 1 million people have fled their homes and an unknown number have been killed. Most estimates are in the thousands.
"Who knows how many are killed? Nobody knows," Mabeck said in an Associated Press interview Thursday in Geneva, where he was briefing Red Cross officials. "I think it's likely to get worse before it gets any better," he said.
South Sudan became the world's newest country in 2011 when it cleaved off from larger Sudan after a referendum. Enmities between ethnic groups have been longstanding.
Associated Press reporter John Heilprin in Geneva contributed to this report.

Just as production was about to roll on Disney's action adventure, Order of the Seven, the studio put an indefinite hold on the project. Debut director Michael Gracey had plans to start shooting in London as early as this summer, but it looks like those plans have been put on ice. Order of the Seven, originally envisioned as a martial arts retelling of the story of Snow White, had set its star, Saoirse Ronan and was in the midst of assembling its international cast. Apparently, all work related to the project has ground to a halt. Even though the film had been in pre-production with cameras ready to roll this year, the project was never officially greenlit and no release date had been established by the studio. Hit the jump for more information behind the indefinite hold put on Order of the Seven.
Heat Vision reports that Disney is putting Order of the Seven on hold in order to further scrutinize the budgets. While no amounts have been disclosed, Order of the Seven presumably had a high enough price tag to warrant the stoppage in production, especially considering Disney's big loss from John Carter earlier this year. Add into the mix the fact that previous studio head, Rich Ross, who stepped down after the John Carter debacle, was overseeing Order of the Seven and has yet to be replaced, along with the fact that the project has a debut director…it's no wonder they decided to take a few breaths.
However, the studio recently hired Iron Man scribes, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby to do a polish on the script, so all may not yet be lost. The story, which has seen a number of iterations over the decade-long development period, centers on a young woman (Ronan) in 19th century Hong Kong who escapes her wicked stepmother to take up sanctuary with a band of seven warriors tasked with defeating dragons and demons.

View to the Alps from the Seebuck, Balck Forest, Germany.
You also see the Feldberg Tower and to the north, some 200 hundred meters from here, the Mountain Station of the Feldberg Funicular (Chairlift in Winter and Gondola Ropeway in Summer) and the Bismarck Monument behind it. At the Monument is the Summit of the Seebuck, 1448 meters altitude.
The Feldberg Tower is therefore not located at the Feldberg but at the Seebuck and not really at the summit of the Seebuck !
In the distance to the West you can see the Summit of the Feldberg. 1493 Meter Altitude.
The Alps can be seen always at good weather conditons, sometimes it seems you can touch them. At high visibility even the Mont Blanc can be seen at the far western end of the Range of the Alps.
Baden-Wuerttemberg is the most south west land of Germany

Argentina to wear Albiceleste v. All Black Germany
It remains to be seen whether we will also be wearing white shorts and white socks (a la v. Brazil in 1990 when CANIGGIA scored in Italy 1990 at the round of 16).
Germany will wear their 'away' black kit.
Why is this important for those who believe in external factors? Because we wore the Albiceleste when we won the 1986 World Cup against Germany (dressed in green back then) and we wore our blue away kit when we lost the final in 1990 and when they knocked us out four years ago in the quarter-finals.
Thank goodness I didn't pay much attention to one of FOX Sports' 'experts' when two days ago he announced that it was going to be Argentina which had to use the away shirt according to FIFA rules. I don't know where he got that information from, but boy he was wrong and it was a good thing that I didn't post a thing about that back then.
As for more important team news, MARADONA confirmed that Martín DEMICHELIS will start. He still needs to decide who's going to be his partner in central defence. It's going to be one of BURDISSO (he's got the upper hand because of his better fitness) and SAMUEL.
He also said MESSI is fine and will be ready to play.

I am proud of how Diego and the rest of the team are concentrating on football and not a war of words. The time will come soon enough for no more talk. I believe we will win and our players are pissed off privately, even Messi who was compared to Ozil. Germans will eat a lot of words when they lose. My guess is 3-1 or 3-2.

Argentina will win 2-0. Golazo from Messi and a tap in from Pipita. Book it ladies!
- 6:37 pm
Seba you should post the video of the German DT picking his nose and eating his buggers. It is something else!
- 6:38 pm
Let me ask who would you prefer Samuel in his curren form or Burdisso?
- 6:49 pm
I am so glad we playing in our traditional colours. I love our lads in light blue and white. The dark blue shirt does nothing for me, Italy and France are blue and even Brazil has a dark blue away shirt.
I think it will be a tough game and very competitive. But we will prevail and Messi will score.

Hmm, Anon number 1, you just have not been reading the news. Diego dove right into the war of words. He did not take long diving in.
- 7:30 pm
I wonder how it is decided who will wear what?
Also, is it necessary that one team wears away colors always, or only when there is a clash.
For example, in Uruguay-South Korea, why did Korea wear all whites, when their home colors of red would not clash with Uruguay's blue?
- 7:33 pm
the famous blue and white will dine on octapus soon :)
im going for 2-0 to argentina.

To the last anonymous comment. There isn't a rule that tells you one of the teams should wear the away kit.
I've checked on FIFA.com and it seems like the team listed on the left (go to MATCHES) gets to pick which shirt they'll wear. I don't know if that's the rule or if that's how it's decided, but all the other examples -from the group stage and the round of 16-, seem to indicate that 'theory' is correct.
We've seen many matches in which both teams used their respective home shirt (ARG-Nigeria and ARG-South Korea are two clear examples).
I don't find an explanation for Korea wearing white v. Uruguay, though. But managers are entitled to choose their colours as long as there isn't a clash with the opposition.
For Friday, Holland will wear orange and Brazil will wear blue.
- 8:02 pm
Wow...that's good news!
- 9:09 pm
Regarding kit selection I think FIFA bases it on standings. We, Argentina, finished with 9 points but Germany finished on 6 points in the group stage so technically, we finished at a higher standing. Therefore, we are assigned as the home team and get to pick our kit. However, that doesn't explain why we were wearing blue shorts and socks against Mexico, which I thought was a terrible choice (if it was a choice, or FIFA made us wear it that way).
I think the same thing happened in 2006. We finished on 7 points in the group stages but Germany finished on 9 so they were assigned as the home nation and got to pick their colours. Yes, Germany hosted so that probably played a big factor too but if we go by standings then it makes sense as well.
I hope we are back to wearing the light blue and white shirt with black shorts and white socks. There's nothing better than that. I think it'll be like the friendly in March in Munich wear we wore our home kit and Germany wore the away kit with white shorts (to off-set the black shorts we wore) and black socks (again, to off-set the white socks we wore).
- 9:34 pm
Ha..ha..ha..German try to provoke by accusing us 'provocator'. Demichelis is sure to plays, now between Burdisso and Samuel must be determined. I don't know how bad Samuel injury. Without him, our defense not too convincing. And, it seems the squad is similar to Mexico match. Maradona insist he'll never change the system.
- 1:07 am
Ok, good thing in my opinion. I really can't wait for this game. This website is the first website and the last i surf every day during this world cuup especially. Hehehe. Let's all hope and pray we can whack the german and send them back to berlin, bonn or munich. I hope messi will display a masterclass. maybe it's a good thing demi is playing, he knows klose and muller well. i just hope we have someone to help messi out this time, unlike the game versus mexico. good news is tevez is on fire! when the anthem is sung, he closes his eyes and concentrates fully. the camera never fails to catch this moment, focusing on carlitos for a long time. i noticed this during games versus korea and mexico. the one against nigeria i don't know because i was too nervious and had to go to the toilet!
and to john, hi!! i thought everybody in this country supported engallnd or brazil. yeay!

Gabrihell, I've been a fan since 1986. Yes! We are the minority in this country but a very STRONG minority.

Two things on my mind:
1)We were kinda tested against Greece since we had to play for so long before we managed to get the 1-0 goal, and we were tested against Mexico since they were clearly the better team up until the ref handed us that first goal. BUT what happens if we concede a goal first? If we are down 1-0…….How will this team respond to that?Will they handle the pressure? It's all been going smooth, maybe to smooth, up until now when it comes to getting results and getting the first goal. This is a very big question in my head. What happens if we're one goal down, we would have to attack like mad and the other team can counter attack us???
2)A more positive question mark. In my opinion this team haven't been playing really great in any of our games so far in this world cup. It's been better than we feared, but not really great. We see potensial, we see some nice attacks, we see some positive things that make us dream about what can happen if suddenly everything clicks for this team. What happens if we for once get to see our team playing really well, as a team, as a unit, for one entire game? What happenes if Messi and Tevez just suddenly links up really well like we all know they can, not trying to dribble before looking up and trying to find a team mate in a better position? I guess we all know the answer to these questions. That is what comforts me right now. We still haven't seen a really good game from this team(unlike the team in 2006 with the game against Serbia in the group stage). If we get a game where everything clicks and all our star players have a great game, Germany would be dead and burried, they wouldn't stand a chance. I just pray that we for once can get all of this just when it matters most. No more under performing as a team but with great potensial blah blah blah. Come on guys, deliver us the goods right now when it matters most.

Interesting link! It's the analysis of the Argentina and Germany PK takers.
Argentina stats:
1. Carlos Tevez takes all 7 of his PK for Manchester City without any miss.
--notes: he missed a crucial one against Ecuador or something in WCQ, though.
2. Lionel Messi makes 9 out of 10. Just one miss for Barcelona.
3. Diego Milito also has the same record: 9 out of 10 for Genoa and Inter.
4. Veron is another reliable PK shooter.
5. That link says that Higuain might be a good PK taker, but I disagree.... I think Maxi is a better one. In the game against German
y, if it's a draw in late minutes, I would replace Higuain with Milito.
Notes: that's why it's good that the likes of Veron is on the bench because first of all, he can't play 90-120 minutes. Second of all, he's a good PK taker. If Veron started, then for sure, we would sub him in the second half because he wouldn't last 90 minutes. That way, we waster a good potential PK taker.
In Germany:
1. Podolski makes 5 out of 7 this season.
2. Schweinsteiger makes 3 out of 3.
3. Trochowski makes 6 out of 6
4. Klose and Ozil are good PK takers as well.
5. Their goalie, Nauer is a special one in PK as he stopped 4 PK out of 10 attempts
The complete stats:
1. Tevez 7 out of 7
2. Messi 9 out of 10
3. Milito 9 out of 10
4. Higuain 3 out of 4
5. Maxi 1 out of 2
6. Jonas 1 out of 2
7. Veron ???
8. Romero 1 out of 1 (just one opportunity and the opponent scored)
1. Trochowski 6 out of 6
2. Schweinsteiger 3 out of 3
3. Podolski 5 out of 7
4. Jansen 1 out of 1
5. Gomez 1 out of 1
6. Marin 1 out of 2
7. Ozil 1 out of 2
8. Klose 2 out of 3.
9. Kiessling 2 ouf of 2
10. Nauer 4 out of 10 (Saving 4 times)
11. Wiese 7 out of 10 (saving 7 times)

Today, children have little input into many choices that affect their lives. At the same time, parents and caregivers encounter confusing, contradictory, and incorrect information and pressures about birth and parenting in consumer magazines, by word of mouth, and from misinformed medical professionals.
Research and clinical experience implicate many commonly accepted attitudes, social practices, and medical interventions in our high rates of birth-related injuries and deaths, children and parents who feel alienated from each other, depression and other mental health challenges, domestic abuse, violence, and suicide. At the same time, less well-known practices that may be socially discouraged in the U.S. have been linked to reducing SIDS (Sudden Infant Death) rates, improving birth outcomes, strengthening parent-child bonding, and improving long-term physical and mental health for children, parents, and society at large.
We will succeed at developing a warm, nonviolent society to the extent that we are aware and intentional in our choices. Raising our society's children and supporting our society's parents in a safe and supportive environment is a fundamental way to address and solve many social problems.
To promote a more nurturing start to life, greater physical and emotional health of children and parents, and a less violent society, NotJustSkin:
We invite you to learn, spread the word, and partner with us to create a wonderful, warm world for children, parents, and all of us.
With appreciation,
Ryan McAllister
Director, NotJustSkin.org
