Sen. Hillary Clinton attends an EMILY's List luncheon honoring Speaker Nancy Pelosi, where she plans to unveil a huge women's networking drive. "The campaign intends to use social networking tools and other Web technology to develop a thousands-strong Women's Leadership Network, which would promote Mrs. Clinton's candidacy nationwide and, by this fall, hold campaign events and take part in fund-raising."
Clinton continued her pro-ethanol tour in Johnston, IA yesterday, touring the Pioneer Hi-Bred International Facility Research Greenhouses, meeting with employees, and over-enthusiastically learning about the bio-engineered plants and advancements in the field. Per NBC's Lauren Appelbaum, Clinton exclaimed "wow" and "this is amazing" throughout the explanations. Although she voted against ethanol bills early in her Senate career, she's now calling it one of many "miracles of science." Asked about some short-term fixes to America's energy challenges, Clinton recounted a story about her late father, who always turned off every light before leaving a room. She challenged the audience to "turn off that light because we don't want to send any more money to Chavez in Venezuela," which garnered a large applause.
The New York Times looks at how Clinton's first few campaign trips have been about re-shaping her image. "She is, in this latest unveiling, the Nurturing Warrior. She displays a cozy acquaintance ('Let's chat') and leaderly confidence ('I'm in it to win it'). She is a tea-sipping girlfriend who vows to 'deck' anyone who attacks her; a giggly mom who invokes old Girl Scout songs and refuses to apologize for voting for the Iraq War Resolution in 2002. Her aim, of course, is to show that she is tough enough to lead Americans in wartime but tender enough to understand their burdens."
After a long weekend, Sen. Barack Obama spent most of yesterday out of the spotlight attending fundraisers in Boston and New York. A list of "heavy hitters" attended the Boston event and, "Some who attended said they were reminded of President Kennedy."
The New York Times reports that Obama disinvited the senior pastor at the Church of Christ in Chicago from giving the public invocation at his presidential announcement last month. "Some black leaders are questioning Mr. Obama's decision to distance his campaign from Mr. Wright because of the campaign's apparent fear of criticism over Mr. Wright's teachings, which some say are overly Afrocentric to the point of excluding whites."
The New York Daily News says Clinton and Obama are now going head-to-head for Jewish voters. They "plan dueling receptions Monday when an influential pro-Israeli lobby group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, holds its major Washington policy conference. The competing receptions are one more sign of the intensifying scrum between Clinton and Obama over key Democratic interest groups."
Reporting on the DVD sent by former Sen. John Edwards to over 70,000 Iowa Democratic caucus-goers detailing his plan for universal health care, the Des Moines Register says, "Aides said the DVD will not be a substitute for personal appearances by Edwards in Iowa. Underlining that point, the campaign released a schedule for Edwards' next visit to Iowa at the end of this week."
In an interview Beliefnet.com, Edwards "said Jesus would be most upset with the selfishness of Americans and the country's willingness to go to war 'when it's not necessary,'" reports the AP.
Sen. Chris Dodd's campaign let us know that Dodd, over the weekend, won a straw poll among York County, SC Democrats with 28%, followed by Obama at 24%, and Clinton at 18%. Per the Hartford Courant, "Jim Watkins, York County chairman, had a simple explanation for Dodd's success: 'He visited here,' Watkins said."

The Criminal Courts
The structure of the criminal court system in Ireland is hierarchical, with the District Court dealing with minor offences (generally those that carry a maximum sentence of 1 year or a maximum fine). It sits without a jury and cases are usually brought before it by means of a document called a summons. Certain offences, although they are normally to be tried on indictment with a jury in the Circuit Court, may be heard in the District Court if certain conditions are fulfilled. The District Court also deals with minor offences alleged to have been committed by children (children are defined as persons under 16 for this purpose). When dealing with these cases it is known as the Childrens Court. An important part of the District Courts criminal work is that all criminal matters start there. It is effectively a clearing house for major criminal cases. The District Judge conducts a preliminary examination of such charges and then sends those cases forward either to the Circuit Court, the Central Criminal Court or the Special Criminal Court to be tried by that court.
The Circuit Court deals with more serious offences, known as indictable offences, and in such cases a judge sits with a jury, while the Central Criminal Court (which is the High Court dealing with criminal cases) deals with more serious crimes that, by law, only it can deal with, such as rape and murder, and sits with a jury.
Just as in civil cases, an appeal lies from the District Court to the Circuit Court. This involves a full rehearing of the case. However, unlike in civil cases, only the defendant can in general bring an appeal in the Circuit Court. Generally, if the defendant is acquitted in the District Court, the prosecutor has no right of appeal to the Circuit Court. The decision of the Circuit Court on appeal is final and cannot be further appealed.
As in civil cases, an application may be made to the High Court by way of consultative case stated on a point of law prior to a final decision of the court or such a case may be stated by way of appeal to determine whether a final decision is correct in law. Such an application can be made by the prosecutor or the defendant. There is an appeal from this decision of the High Court to the Supreme Court.
The Special Criminal Court was specially established by Act of Oireachtas to deal with terrorism and offences against the State. It can also be used where the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) certifies that the ordinary courts are inadequate. It lies outside the normal hierarchical structure outlined above and a panel of three judges sits on it, normally one High Court judge, one Circuit Court judge and one District Court judge. There is a right of appeal against its decisions to the Court of Criminal Appeal.
A person who wishes to appeal after a trial on indictment, appeals to the Court of Criminal Appeal where the appeal is conducted on a transcript of the evidence at trial. The Court of Criminal Appeal hears appeals from the:
- Circuit Criminal Court;
- Central Criminal Court, and;
- Special Criminal Court.
It consists of one Supreme Court and two High Court judges. A defendant may appeal against conviction and/or sentence. In such circumstances, the Court of Criminal Appeal may either dismiss the appeal, quash the conviction and order a retrial or quash the conviction and release the defendant. Appeals against sentence only may be taken by the DPP. On any appeal against sentence such sentence may be reduced or increased.. A further appeal lies from the Court of Criminal Appeal to the Supreme Court, but only if the DPP or Attorney General or the Court of Criminal Appeal itself certify that a point of law of exceptional public importance arises.
The Supreme Court is the court of final appeal for both civil and criminal cases.
Criminal Appeals to the Supreme Court
An appeal to the Supreme Court can be taken from the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal, but only where the Court of Criminal Appeal, the Director of Public Prosecutions or the Attorney General certify that a point of law of exceptional public importance arises. On a further appeal to the Supreme Court from the Court of Criminal Appeal, it has three options: dismiss the appeal, quash the conviction and release the defendant or quash the conviction and order a re-trial. It can, of course, also deal with sentence on the same basis as the Court of Criminal Appeal.

Duncanville Deputies righthander Bryan Price (Rice) threw his way into the Texas Collegiate League record book last week by fanning 18 Coppell Copperheads over 7 2/3 innings. Price left the game with two outs in the eighth after giving up one earned run and scattering three hits. Price's gem wasn't good enough to earn a win, as the Deputies stranded 10 runners on base during the 2-1 loss. Price struck out the first nine Coppell hitters before Matt Curry (Howard) homered in the fourth, which was followed by an unearned Cooperheads run.
Price's record of 18 strikeouts broke the previous mark of 15 set by Coppell's Jess Todd (Arkansas) in 2006. The Rice product surpassed the previous mark in the sixth inning when he got Curry to swing and miss for his 16th strikeout. This was the second time this season that a TCL pitcher flirted with the previous record. Brazos Valley's Casey Whitmer (Florida State) struck out 14 Coppell batters on June 26.
For the summer, Price is 0-2, 3.32 with 35 strikeouts in 22 innings.

It states that at 2 ohm the power will be 175 watts x 2 RMS and at 4 ohm it will be 110 watts x 2 RMS for the amplifier. The surf speakers are 125 to 250 watts rated power handling. Do y'all feel this kicker amp will be sufficient to push these speakers well without causing any damage?

I herewith submit to all of my readers a very noteworthy message. I did not write these three short paragraphs, but totally appreciate them. Bob Pappas
Memorial Day Invocation
Princeton, Iowa
May 29th, 2000
Almighty God, Creator of the Universe, and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, thank you this Memorial Day, for those in whose memory we have assembled. Thank you that we live in this great land--our native land; Thank you for these great United States that has been a refuge for generations of immigrants; Thank you for those who gave birth to and have preserved liberty by their service in our Armed Forces; and, We especially thank You, and honor those who have given their lives that others such as we, might breathe free.
Thank you Heavenly Father for the strength that comes from cultural and ethnic diversity, but now Lord we pray for unity to serve Your eternal purpose. Thank you for a magnificent heritage of honor and patriotism, and that despite the storms of moral decadence that sweep the nation we can assemble to remember and honor those who have shielded us, and preserved the liberty that we enjoy in such abundance today.
Heavenly Father, we pray that you will constantly remind us from whence our strength comes, for it comes from You. Give our nation the integrity to do what is right and just in Your sight; the courage and strength to prevail against all enemies, whether foreign or domestic; and, we implore You to impart wisdom to seek and follow Your Divine will FOREVER. Amen

With the start of the 110th Congress, NCRA resumes our participation in the Small-Business Health Plans Coalition in pursuit of legislation to create more affordable health insurance options. Our efforts last year were derailed when a promising bill before the Senate was stalled by parliamentary rules. Hundreds of NCRA members responded last spring when we asked for help in contacting key Senators. We expect another opportunity for you to make your wishes known on this issue later in the year.

Ware, MA (November 10, 2011) - The oncology suite at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital has purchased a new infusion chair thanks to a generous donation made from the Ride for Randi Foundation.
The Ride for Randi, a 65 mile motorcycle ride is held annually in memory of Randi Swistak-Stelmokas who passed away in 2005 after being thrown from her horse, and also Randi's Dad, Mike Swistak, who lost his battle to cancer in 2010.
We find great comfort in knowing that the proceeds from the ride will help others get through difficult times in their lives as well," said Mary Ann Swistak as she and her daughter Blair reflected on the $3000 donation made to the hospital. "Receiving care close to home at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital was important to Mike," said Swistak. "He was able to be near to our family, our friends and close to work. Dr. Higby and his team of nurses who specialized in cancer care offered him access to the most current cancer care, including evaluation, diagnostics, therapeutic intervention and chemotherapy all close to home."
"Thanks to the generosity of the Ride for Randi supporters, we were able to purchase a new infusion chair for our Oncology Suite," said Lori Tuttle, RN. "This chair is a tremendous benefit to our patients who spend from one to eight hours at a time in our department while they receive their chemotherapy treatment and/or a blood transfusion. We're very grateful all that participated in the Ride for Randi which made this donation possible.
The Baystate Regional Cancer Program at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital treats cancer patients from the many communities served by the hospital and across the eastern region. For more information visit www.baystatehealth.org/bmlh

Are you really my friend??
Produced with Zach Nugent
With Facebook, making friends is as easy as a click of the mouse. This simplicity can make for an interesting and sometimes complicated group of people. Some you know, some you've never met in your life, and some people you used to know, but aren't talking to. These "friends" prompted Tanja Hollander, a fine art photographer based out of Portland, Maine, to create a project called "Are You Really My Friend?" Tanja decided to visit all her Facebook friends around the world at their homes, and photograph them, whether they were on talking terms or not.
Now she is going global:

If there's a key portion of the internal-combustion technology that gives your vehicle the facility it needs to do what it needs to do, it's the Toyota Crown fuel pump-a part that shouldn't be taken lightly. While your Toyota Crown is actually a stable machine on its own, with a damaged fuel pump, it might not manage to function as it ought to.
The initial things you'll be treated to, in case you are running on a damaged Toyota Crown fuel pump, are stalling and misfires-basic signs of trouble. Your Toyota Crown may have trouble during startup; your automobile probably won't even run at all if your pump fails while you're on the go. With a impaired fuel pump, you can only hope for a dirtier, more ineffective engine-a guarantee of decreased fuel useage, in addition to even deeper holes in your wallet.
If you've troubles with your Toyota Crown fuel pump, you've come to the right website: Parts Train, we sell a range of pumps from trusted providers like OES Genuine, Carter, and Denso; while these items are certainly of top quality, a quick glance at our catalogs can tell you that they're also very, very affordable.

I don't recommend microwaving the ribs because it made them very dry. The sauce, however, is amazing! I'm going to try it on marinated pork chops next.

I pre-cooke in microwave as suggested and used boneless ribs, and they were delicious! Just the recipe I've been looking for.

I par-boiled the ribs in beer and water until tender. For the sauce, I ommitted the honey...and the ribs were still hot and sweet!

Caribbean caught up inTaiwan vs China political tug-of-war
GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Monday July 9, 2012 – Grenada's protracted dispute with Taiwan over a US$30 million debt is a lesson for small island nations caught in the middle of a tug-of-war by developed nations to win hearts and minds in the region and access minerals and other natural resources.
So says Wazir Mohamed, a Caribbean-born assistant professor of sociology at the University of Indiana, East, in a recent interview with Inter Press Service (IPS).
"There are a lot of implications for small states being caught in a new type of cold War in the world today," he told IPS. "Nothing has changed in the way capital is being used by the West and nations like China. It is a new form of colonialism, but the only thing different to the past is that this new form is now being implemented and effected much more rapidly than in the past using capital that is very, very mobile.
"Caribbean nations have to be careful about being caught in the middle of these geopolitical fights involving other nations," said Mohamed.
For other nations like St Lucia, the issue is of prime importance and one to monitor very closely as it could also face similar problems. The last government in 2007 had ironically kicked out China and replaced it with Taiwan, upending the decision of another administration in the late 1990s.
China has so far not retaliated by demanding back its money, notably funding for a new sports stadium, hospital and buildings in St. Lucia's industrial zone, but has condemned local officials outright for its diplomatic expulsion.
"We have been very careful about making this decision, and now that we have taken it, we do not expect the Chinese will love us any more for it," said then Foreign Minister Rufus George Bousquet. "But we expect that they will conduct themselves in a manner that is acceptable to our government."
Bousquet's government has since lost power. The new administration of Prime Minister Kenny Anthony has already spoken to both sides, but for now is playing it safe and has remained loyal to Taiwan even though it had chosen China in a previous period in office. Bousquet had also said the policy back then was to deal with which donor was willing to give more.
Once Taiwan departed Grenada, China moved in to win hearts, funding a national sports stadium and donating generously to reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan, which devastated the island in September 2004.
Other Caribbean trade bloc nations that recognise Taiwan over China include Haiti, St. Kitts, St. Vincent, Belize and now St. Lucia, even though the official policy of the bloc is for a "one China Policy".
For now it appears that mainland China is winning. Last September, many regional leaders travelled to Trinidad for the China-Caricom forum where the delegation from Beijing offered up to US$1 billion dollars in soft loans to fund projects throughout the region.
Some states, like Caribbean Community headquarters Guyana, signed on quickly by proposing various projects for funding, but Taiwan does not have that luxury as its diplomatic and aid outreach is confined only to those with which it has formal diplomatic relations.

Roger Sterling is Going to Get to Direct Philip Seymour Hoffman In 'God's Pocket'
In Development By Nathan Adams on May 15, 2013 | Be the First To CommentSeeing as he's one of the senior partners at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce ad agency, John Slattery's Mad Men character, Roger Sterling, is very used to being in charge of a crew of people. And now that Slattery himself has directed four episodes of the acclaimed show on which he acts, he too is starting to get a feel for being in charge. It makes sense, then, that he would eventually want to put his leadership skills to the test and make the step up to directing a feature film, and Deadline is reporting that he's all set to do just that. The film is called God's Pocket, and it's an adaptation of a Pete Dexter novel about a blue collar neighborhood that Slattery co-adapted alongside Alex Metcalf. More than even its director or the content of its story though, God's Pocket is notable because of the outstanding cast that it's already assembled.
Audit Yourself with 'The Master' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on February 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentNominated for three Oscars, The Master was a passion project for director P.T. Anderson. It pulled the veil back on a fictionalized account of Scientology as well as proving that Joaquin Phoenix can secure award nominations for any role in which he beats up plumbing. Thought not entirely mainstream, it was a darling of art-house film fans, and The Master also prominently features homemade booze as a subplot and symbol. This is enough of an excuse to knock back a few drinks while watching the film's crisp transfer on Blu-ray or DVD.
2013 Oscar Prediction: Best Supporting Actor
Academy Awards By Nathan Adams on February 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe supporting actor. He's not the guy, he's the guy behind the guy. That's not always a bad thing though. The lead actor generally has to be the guy the audience is relating to, so those sort of roles can end up being kind of vanilla. The supporting roles though, that's where the memorable weirdos come from. Getting a great supporting role can afford an actor the opportunity to go completely off the wall with their performance, or at least take some calculated risks that aren't likely to sink the whole film if they don't pay off. As a result, the best supporting roles of the year can be more interesting than the best leads, and this year definitely has a colorful cast of characters. Here are the ones that the Academy liked in 2012 with my predicted winner in red:
How 'Moneyball' Failed By Not Being the Baseball Movie 'Major League' Is
Features By Nathan Adams on November 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhile inspirational sports stories usually prove to be box office draws, when you make them you still run the risk of alienating the portion of the film-going audience who just don't like sports. If someone doesn't like basketball or football, how do you get them to sit through a story where people play basketball or football for two hours? Brad Pitt's 2011 starring vehicle, Moneyball, was hyped by its fans as being a baseball story that anybody could get into. Its focus was more on statistics and science stuff than it was gameplay. It was more about bucking the system than it was winning the big game. And at its heart was a story about a failed man reclaiming his life and growing as an individual. There's no need to be into baseball to enjoy all of that stuff, right? Major League, conversely, is a 1989 comedy that was aimed squarely at baseball fans. If you didn't know about the Cleveland Indians' pathetic standing in the league, if you didn't have a long-standing relationship with hearing Bob Uecker's voice talk about the game, and if you didn't know the ins-and-outs of each position and exactly what it takes to be bad at playing them, then a lot of the movie's charms were likely going to be lost on you. And if you could care less about whether or not the Indians beat the Yankees in the championship game, would you even be able to get anything out of watching this
A week or so ago, our Christopher Campbell wrote a piece posing the burning question: What is the Meaning of The Master? The fact is, he isn't the only one asking. Some have harshly compared writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson to the film's "titular" cult leader, believing Anderson also has no clue what he's trying to say. Campbell theorized, "Maybe the reality is that there is nothing there. And yet maybe that lack of meaning is in fact its meaning," but then went on to discount that interpretation of the film's point, along with others. What is Anderson trying to say about religion? Is he saying, as Campbell speculates, that it's all meaningless? In simple reality, to the obvious disappoint of many, is that Anderson is attempting to do no such thing. Even as it attempts ephemeral whatdoesitallmean-ness, The Master can be broken down to one simple sentence: a beautiful, tragic friendship between someone who has no interest in answers and a man who knows he has none of them. It's solely a story of two distinct men, Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) and Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Some could argue that's too simplistic of a story for Paul Thomas Anderson, but Anderson has never been a "message" filmmaker. He's always been a "relationship" filmmaker. The Master strives to be nothing more than another character study from Anderson told on a big, bold, beautiful canvas, not a hard-hitting critique of religion.
What is the Meaning of 'The Master'?
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on September 23, 2012 | Comments (6)Now that Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master is in slightly wider release than it was in its opening weekend, perhaps it is time to discuss this period drama, which is perplexing both critics and regular moviegoers alike. More than the fact that a lot of people are now able to finally see the film, the interesting thing is that many have now watched it two or three times (at least) in an attempt to get more out of the thing. Countless reviews have pointed out that The Master is difficult to fully understand on a single viewing, and audiences of all levels of intellect are coming out declaring that they need to see it again. Plenty are doing so, but are they any closer to finding answers? No film requires or should require multiple viewings, and pretty much any film watched more than once can deliver previously unseen pieces and welcome new considerations. But The Master, whether constructed out of certain meaning or, as might be hinted through a significant line from the film, Anderson just made it all up as he went along without too much thought, is the sort of glorious cinema that we look at as a fun puzzle. We can imagine that one day a documentary similar to Room 237 will present obsessive PTA fans over-analyzing everything from the commanding performances to the film's subtler nooks and crannies.
Philip Seymour Hoffman Wants to Creep You Out With 'Ezekiel Moss'
In Development By Nathan Adams on September 17, 2012 | Be the First To CommentHollywood mainstay Philip Seymour Hoffman (My Boyfriend's Back) is one of the best loved actors working today. Not only has he established himself as a strong character actor over the course of his prolific career, but over the past decade or so he has also proven that he has what it takes to be a leading man. And his latest starring vehicle, The Master, just opened this past weekend and broke some per screen average records at the box office. It's safe to say that his legacy has been solidified as far as being a thespian goes (barring a De Niro-esque slide into late-career self-parody). As a director though, the man's career is fledgling. So far he's stepped behind the camera just once, for 2010's Jack Goes Boating, a film that didn't exactly tear it up either critically or commercially. It looks like he's getting another chance to prove that he's just as vital a presence behind the scenes as he is at the center of the scenes, however, as Variety is reporting that he's just signed on to direct a 2011 Black List script called Ezekiel Moss (written by Keith Bunin).
37 Things We Learned From the 'Boogie Nights' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on September 13, 2012 | Comments (2)All right, all you great big, bright, shining stars out there. It's time to hear what Paul Thomas Anderson has to say. With recent movies like There Will Be Blood and his latest, The Master, the director is smack in the middle of a stretch in his career in which he's defining a new genre called Discomfort. Boogie Nights looks downright cheerful by comparison, so it's nice to go back and listen to the writer/director discuss his great, early achievement. And here we have it, all 37 things we learned listening to PT Anderson talk about Boogie Nights. You got the touch…!
'A Late Quartet' Trailer Shows Off a Fantastic Cast Making Difficult Music Together
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir and Wallace Shawn were in a movie together, would you go see it? Director Yaron Zilberman (Watermarks) is even throwing in Imogen Poots for free. This excellent ensemble formed for A Late Quartet, the story of four world-class string players who struggle to stay together. The official synopsis uses the phrase "insuppresible lust." Hopefully it's between Walken and Hoffman. Or hopefully it's the kind that causes a massive rift between two or three people. That might be the case, as this absolutely gorgeous trailer shows. It's intense and makes a powerful impact with a striking metaphor. Having Beethoven in its corner doesn't hurt either. This, right here, looks like must-see filmmaking from a new director and a veteran cast.
TIFF 2012 Review: 'The Master' is a Failure Disguised as Masterpiece
Movie Review By Louis Plamondon on September 10, 2012 | Comments (32)In his vitriolic review of Film Socialisme (Jean-Luc Godard's self-indulgent mess that screened at Cannes in 2010), renowned critic Mark Kermode said: "the movie is incredibly boring and incomprehensible, but so boring and incomprehensible that critics concluded it must be quite profound." With that quote in mind, I carefully read every single glowing review I could find of Paul Thomas Anderson's new film The Master (including one already on this site) after watching it at the Toronto Film Festival. Before the love fest, I walked out of the theater feeling confident that everyone else in attendance hated it as much as I did. Instead, it seems as if everyone has found a safe place for their beloved director's latest to hide by looking for praise anywhere they could. The film follows the life and tribulations of former sailor Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) whose rather random but instant bond with Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman) turns into a lasting friendship that puzzles everyone around them. Quell is a deeply damaged soul who appears to be guided by his basic human needs of sex and violence but also hides greater emotional devotion to a long lost love – one he tries to retrieve years too late. Lancaster Dodd is an equally insane but significantly more eloquent oddball thanks to his natural ability to influence others around him. While his ego knows no bounds and his methods reveal no logic whatsoever, he displays such a sense of self-assurance and persuasion that he can
'A Most Wanted Man' Adds Support for Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on September 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentBack in February it was reported that there was a new adaptation of a John le Carré novel being developed, and that it was looking to put Philip Seymour Hoffman in a leading role. It all sounded very exciting, but Hoffman's involvement wasn't official. Well, some time has passed since then, details on the project are starting to solidify, and the crew has even started to put together a cast of familiar faces to join Hoffman in supporting roles. But first, let's recap exactly what this project is. A Most Wanted Man is a story about a half-Russian, half-Czech immigrant who comes to Germany—scarred and starved—looking for his father's lost fortune. His past is mysterious, his motives are suspect, and eventually his pursuits get the attentions of a British banker and a young female lawyer, who both try to help them in their own way, and who end up forming a strange love triangle in the process. There's no time for romance, however, as the man's arrival also gets the attention of a group of spies from three different nations, and soon all of the players converge in ways that are likely steeped in intrigue and double crossings.
Review: 'The Master' is Beauty That Sticks In Your Brain
Movie Review By Victor Escobar on August 7, 2012 | Comments (3)Editor's Note: On Friday night in Santa Monica's Aero Theater, a group of movie fans gathered to enjoy a 70mm print of The Shining were treated to the first screening ever of Paul Thomas Anderson's forthcoming The Master. We've asked film geek Victor Escobar, who was lucky enough to be there, to offer his thoughts on the film. It hits theaters September 21st. I thought that I was lucky just because I had won tickets to see The Shining on Friday, but before it began, we were told that a special 70 mm print was being shown right afterward and that we were welcome to stay for the screening. During the movie, I kept thinking of films that were shot in 70 mm which would make a great follow-up to Kubrick's hotel-set horror. The first and most logical film that came to mind was 2001: A Space Odyssey. So the film ends, the lights go up and we're told that we will be the first people to see Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film, The Master. The announcement was greeted by a unanimous roar from the audience. The Master is about Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix), a man without any self control or a sense of direction life, who is taken under the wing of Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Both men find inspiration within each other but as Dodd's religion grows, Freddie finds himself going against not just Dodd's teachings, but Dodd himself.
'The Master' Trailer: Philip Seymour Hoffman Is Making It Up As He Goes Along (And It Looks Fantastic)
Movie News By Kate Erbland on July 19, 2012 | Comments (2)So far, we've been treated to two very different (yet equally as engaging and wonderful) teaser trailers for Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film, The Master, but today gifts us with the film's first full trailer. And it was worth the wait. Drawing from the film's second teaser, this look at the Philip Seymour Hoffman- and Joaquin Phoenix-starring film dives deeper into the world of Hoffman's mysterious, eponymous "master" and the outsider who at first embraces him, and then threatens the very fabric of his work and existence. The auteur's apparent take on L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology is set in the 1950s and it centers on Hoffman's character, "a charismatic intellectual known as 'the Master' whose faith-based organization begins to catch on in America" and Phoenix's character, "a young drifter who becomes his right-hand man." Check out the film's first full trailer, complete with lots of looks at the inevitable rift between the leads, after the break.
May the Odds Be Ever in His Favor: Philip Seymour Hoffman Officially Set for 'Catching Fire' Role
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on July 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentYou know what The Hunger Games: Catching Fire really needs? Some gravitas. Though the first film was an unmitigated success, and it certainly benefited from its young and vibrant cast, most the of "elder statesman" work fell on the shoulders of Donald Sutherland as evil President Snow. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone around that we can trust? If you're unfamiliar with the second book in Suzanne Collins' smash hit book series, a brief character description of the brand new Head Gamemaker for The Hunger Games, Plutarch Heavensbee, might not make you feel the warm and fuzzies. After all, Wes Bentley's cold and calculating Head Gamemaker, Seneca Crane, seemed bent on rivaling snow for the film's evil points, and how could anyone in his same position be anything less than a foe? Well, perhaps when he's played by Philip Seymour Hoffman.
'The Master' Trailer Can't Handle the Truth
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIsn't it nice to know that no matter the chaos of the universe, Paul Thomas Anderson is out there making movies? Amidst a an ebbing sea of hype and disappointment, he's out there, takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. The second trailer for his forthcoming film, The Master, is an incredible example of cinematography and contemplative acting from Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. Plus, Amy Adams round out the mix. The movie focuses on Hoffman's religious icon known as "The Master" as he builds a relationship with Phoenix's character Freddie – a drifter who becomes his assistant. Check out the trailer for yourself:
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' May Upgrade From Wes Bentley to Philip Seymour Hoffman
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 12, 2012 | Comments (1)Fans of Suzanne Collins' whimsical child murder novel, "The Hunger Games," will tell you that one of the big differences between her book and its eventual film adaptation was that the role of the deadly games' designer, Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley), was dramatically increased for the screen. In the book we see the events of the games from solely the protagonist's perspective, so the deadly obstacles that are put in her path always come as a surprise. But in the film, we see Bentley's character setting everything up and reacting to the ways the players handle his tricks and traps. It made the position of the Gamemaker seem far more important than it ever had before. Seeing as Bentley's character had fallen out of favor with the powers that be by the end of The Hunger Games, its sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, is going to have to find a new puppet master. And given the newfound importance of the role in the story's movie universe, as well as the fact that the second Gamemaker is a more important character than the first in the source material, Catching Fire's director, Francis Lawrence, will seemingly have to find a big name actor to step into the role. There isn't need to worry though, reports are he's already made an important move toward doing just that.
'The Master' Teaser is Footage From a New Paul Thomas Anderson Movie, Holy Crap
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 21, 2012 | Comments (1)Though everything we've heard about Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming project, The Master, paints it as being a Philip Seymour Hoffman-starring story about the head of a new religion, its new teaser trailer doesn't give us any indication that this is the case. There's no mention of religion, no scenes of cult-like indoctrination, and not even a glimpse of Philip Seymour Hoffman. What it does give us is a conversation between military personnel and Joaquin Phoenix, who's playing a 50s-era serviceman who seems to be having some mental problems. Phoenix has a glint in his eye, a glow to his smile, and a hole in his memory – and it all adds up to a scene that manages to build a ton of tension and mounds of menace without ever actually showing us anything dangerous or getting spooky with the music. It's a good example of how thoroughly a great filmmaker and a talented actor can manipulate your emotions, even while being completely subtle.
Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' Set for October: Celebrate Now
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 28, 2012 | Comments (2)Yesterday, I ragged all over the hiring of Kenneth Brangah to helm the long-gestating Jack Ryan prequel, mainly because I don't believe that the film will ever happen and I'm not necessarily sure that I care if it does – but not every long-talked-about project is a bust, not every heavily touted production is destined to never come to fruition. Some do. And some of them are more than worth the wait. Paul Thomas Anderson's maybe it is/maybe it isn't Scientology feature, The Master, has been buzzed about for awhile now – and it's hit some hurdles on it way to the screen. But that doesn't mean that this Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, and Amy Adams-starring feature isn't going to be great – in fact, I'll be shocked if it's not. With a resume like Anderson's (including no less than Boogie Nights, Punch-Drunk Love, Magnolia, and There Will Be Blood ), a talented cast, and a compelling plot, it's looking like a can't-miss (which is why it landed on our most anticipated list for the year). But, when, oh when can we expect to see it?
Philip Seymour Hoffman Negotiating for Latest John le Carré Adaptation, 'A Most Wanted Man'
In Development By Nathan Adams on February 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNow that John le Carré's spy novel "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" has been adapted into a highly acclaimed film of the same name that made a bunch of money on a worldwide level, we can probably expect to see a flood of his other works suddenly making their way to the big screen. And at the head of that pack is director Anton Corbijn, who plans to make an adaptation of Le Carré's "A Most Wanted Man" the followup to his 2010 film The American. The screenplay has been adapted by Edge of Darkness writer Drew Bovell, and tells the story of a mysterious Russian immigrant in Germany. Or, as the book's Amazon description puts it: "A half-starved young Russian man in a long black overcoat is smuggled into Hamburg at dead of night. He has an improbable amount of cash secreted in a purse round his neck. He is a devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa. Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer, determines to save Issa from deportation. Soon her client's survival becomes more important to her than her own career. In pursuit of Issa's mysterious past, she confronts the incongruous Tommy Brue, the sixty-year-old scion of Brue Freres, a failing British bank based in Hamburg. A triangle of impossible loves is born. Meanwhile, scenting a sure kill in the so-called War on Terror, the spies of three nations converge upon the innocents." The big news about this film is that the
Paul Thomas Anderson Shooting 'The Master' in IMAX is BIG News
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 12, 2012 | Comments (6)I didn't think it was possible for me to be any more excited about P.T. Anderson's upcoming religious drama that was at one point called The Master. First off, Anderson is one of my very favorite directors, so anything he does is going to excite me. Secondly, Philip Seymour Hoffman is starring as the L. Ron Hubbard stand-in who serves as the main character, and he's about the best actor on the planet. And third, much like Anderson's last film, There Will Be Blood, this one is going to feature a score by Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood. Last time around that equaled aural awesomeness. But now there's a new rumor swirling around the project that is almost too cool to believe, and coming from these sources, I'd say it's pretty dang reliable. Cinema Blend was peeping in on a Twitter conversation between two directors from the Pixar stable, Brad Bird and Andrew Stanton, about movies being shot in 65mm, and they uncovered the tidbit that Anderson is going to be the next director to utilize the format. Somewhere in the thread of the conversation Bird said to Stanton, " … Nolan shot a lot of Dark Knight Rises in IMAX. I think PT Anderson's next is 65 too." To which Stanton replied, "The Master is indeed in 65. They nearly lost a camera shooting in the Bay."

Jami Williams, Marion economic development director, resigned her position at the Dec. 31 City Council meeting.The council voted 4-1 to decline her resignation, but Williams will proceed with her plan to step down from her position.
Councilor Bill Holdeman cast the vote to accept her resignation, but said later he "had nothing against her."
Holdeman said he understood the basis for the resignation was that Williams didn't receive the highest 2.6 percent pay increase based on evaluation for city employees.
Holdeman said he was against salaried employees getting a pay raise based on something he felt was intended for hourly employees.
"They shouldn't get the same percentage raise," he said.
Holdeman said he also felt...
Schmidt encourages commissioners to move on county-wide rece
Written by Jerry Engler Wednesday, 09 January 2008 19:53
Rollin Schmidt, transfer station director, asked the Marion County Commission Dec. 31, at an end-of-month payday meeting, to proceed with some type of county-wide program for recycling solid waste.Schmidt said the county could haul recycled plastic, glass, metals and paper to Harvey County, and receive payment of $5 a ton for the materials. He has repeatedly called recycling the most effective way for the county to receive immediate relief on trash disposal costs.
Schmidt said Harvey County would take the materials with the help of Stutzman Refuse Disposal Inc. for selling them.
"We can start now under our own rules, or we can wait until KDHE (Kansas Department of Health and Environment) steps in to tell us how we will do it,"...

Nickel said that for the first time, replacement of county ambulances is included in the event they are totaled.
The agents counted 16 claims by the county in the last year.

Thursday, November 10, 2005, 07:44 PM - General, French
Well, well.
How much does it annoy me to be put on the spot to translate something from French into English?
If you happened to be a fly on the wall in my house at the moment, you would hear a very common conversation (usually one-sided), where I beat myself up for not being able to retain words, but, being able to understand most conversations, or able to sit through French movies and come out understanding (mostly) : but! Not actually having the ability to construct the words / phrases together all the time.
I seem to be able to ask the student what they think the word is, they say it, I say yes or no. I look in the dictionary, and kick myself for not remembering the word that I knew what it was when I saw it.
So today: I had a student present me with a document to describe fashion trends, for the next season, using almost like a brain-storming style of set-up (words that don't always link up, strange combinations of words, French sayings etc...) She wanted me to help her translate it. It is a particular vocaulary, like most of the students I teach, so I am probably being unjustly hard on myself.
Bref, (as the French say):
I was driving to my most unfavourite job this morning (only because I drive a three hour round trip to teach people for four hours; starting from 6:30am), it was beautiful this morning. Most of the trees have lost their leaves now, and as the sun was coming up, the bare trees were sillouetted against the reddening sky.

I have been listening to Radio National's All in the Mind almost straight for the last few days, (catching up on the podcasts), I have found out some really interesting things. It is a really well produced program.
It is colder today.
Your breathe makes mist and there was a thin film of frost on the windscreen this morning when I ran the wiper blades over it.
Not looking forward to the cold again. I am told it might be worse than last year... I thought that was bad enough. I don't make a good Northern France inhabitant.

I am having some problems understanding why the American press brings up the fact that the rioters in Paris (and elsewhere) are Muslims. I haven't heard this term labelling the rioters until now. Yes, sure, they are, mostly, but... I am not saying the French are perfect or anything, because I do agree that they like to think that they treat everyone equally (when they don't). No one is perfect I guess. I just didn't like the mention of insinuating that they were extremists, instead of just rioting because they were trying to prove their point.| permalink

« A TYPICAL WEEKEND - Racing In The Boonies - Race # 47 | A TYPICAL WEEKEND - Thunder on the Hill - Grandview Style - Race # 45 » |
It is the day before the Fourth of July and I had already been told our office was closing at 1:30. Unfortunately Bruce had to work until 3:00 so I would stay at work until 2:15 and then head out to pick him up and we would be off for the long racing weekend. Every year we travel into Central Pennsylvania to attend the Pennsylvania Sprint Week and there is usually a modification along the way. Tonight the Port Royal Speedway was the sight for the sprints and they were also returning to the Port for a Saturday show. We did not see the necessity of going to the Port twice so we decided earlier we would head to Susquehanna Speedway to catch a night of the 600cc Micro Sprint Speed Week. It seems every year the forecast is the same, chance of afternoon and evening showers and tonight it did not look good.
Bruce books a lot of our hotel rooms on Priceline and tonight we were staying at the Yorktowne Hotel in York, a short 15 minute ride from the track. The hotel is an 11 story Renaissance Revival-style hotel with 20 foot ceiling and ornate chandeliers. It in right in the middle of historic York and looks nothing like the Days Inn. It is beautiful and Bruce was able to book it through Priceline for $60 plus tax. If you go to the hotel website to book this room the rates start at $125 per night. We checked into the hotel prior to going to the track and for a minute I did not care if it rained, but I digress.
We pulled onto the parking lot at 7:00 and the cars were completing their final warm-ups. The skies were blacker then I had seen them in a long time. There were several fans waiting outside the gate trying to make a decision if they should pay and go in or wait. I am not a gambler but if it did not pour rain on us it would be a miracle. They starting pushing off the first ARDC Midget heat so we plunked down our money and in we went certain it was only a matter of time. The first of three midget heats took the green at 7:15.
Now comes my personal beef with ARDC. On the final lap of the first heat Mike Miller spun in turn one. The leaders were already heading into turn three and would be getting the checkered as they came out of four, but the caution was thrown enabling Miller to restart at the rear and get a quailfying spot on the last lap. One heat race later going into turn one on the final lap Michelle Miller, Mike's daughter, got into the back of the final qualifying car of Doug Dodson spinning him and she continued on in the final qualifying position. My question is why no caution as in the previous heat. I sure hope this is not the return to catering to the Miller family. Because I never understood the reason for it in the past. ARDC has come a long way in the past few years. Don't mess it up.
The micro sprints wer 60 strong in the pits and they ran 7 qualifying heats and a C and B main. There were also the Keystone legend cars on hand and their count was 34. In all there were over 125 cars in the pits.
Back to the weather, there was a slight drizzle at the start of the second midget heat and a fierce wind picked up. It swirled dirt in the pit area and blew down a few standing signs but then it stopped, for now. The clouds overhead were almost frightening but the racing went on. Soon a friend came over and told us the races at Port Royal were cancelled due to heavy storms. We made the correct decision to come to Susquehanna.
Every now and then a few drops would fall but then stop. Our good friend ,Stephanie Stevens, who drives an ARDC Midget and received a bad concussion two weeks back in North Carolina, came up and we were talking when all of a sudden we saw two extreme stocks on the track. They were running a 10 lap feature for WOW (women on wheels). There were only two cars with the leader lapping the second place car and all the time rain drops continued to fall. Now they had to interview the two drivers in victory lane. Bruce's question was what do you ask the second place driver who got lapped in a 10 lap event. The crowd was getting a bit restless at this point as it seemed we might not get to see what we all came for and with the exception of family and friend of the two being interviewed it was not WOW.
The 20 lap micro sprint feature was first and it was spun off without much to do. My favorite, Mike Dicely, was in the first caution and out for the event. One notable in the event was USAC Sprint & Midget driver Brady Bacon from Indiana. He came in for the entire Micro Sprint Week but did not have too much to show for it. I am not sure exactly were he finished tonight but I think it was around 8th. A light rain fell during the entire event and we were getting worried. Ben Murphy picked up the win followed by Dwayne Gutshall and Brian Guyett.
The ARDC 20 lap feature started in the rain and we were all hoping no one would get upside down or they would lose the track. The midgets did what they had to do and ran off the event non-stop. Steve Buckwalter put on a show has he came from his 10th starting position and took the lead from polesitter Randy Monroe coming down for the white flag. It was a enjoyable event with Scott Zipp following Buckwalter and Monroe accross the line. They made a good decision and decided to skip victory lane interviews and bring out the legend cars immediately as the rain continued to fall. The also put on a good show with a photo finish. Geremey Sheaffer passed Tom Mayberry for the lead with two laps to go but Mayberry battled back and they were side by side at the finiah line. Sheaffer won by less then a foot. It was 11:20 when all was complete and the rain stopped. It surely was a miracle that all the events got in and as we drove back down the Interstate to our hotel in York it poured on us.
The weather looks very iffy in central Pennsylvania for the rest of the weekend but hopefully the next blog will be tomoorow morning from Williams Grove.

MADRID (AP) — Riot police fired rubber bullets Wednesday at Spanish coal miners protesting in the streets of Madrid over subsidy cuts they fear will jeopardize their meager livelihood.
The miners' march into the capital was the culmination for some of a nearly three-week trek from the regions where they eke out a living. Miners who walked 18 days from northern and eastern mining regions were received as heroes on Tuesday night as they entered the Puerta del Sol, one of the city's main plazas.
Their protest has inspired sympathizers who see the miner's struggle as symbolic of Spain's wider troubles and the unfair burden they believe politicians have put on Spain's middle and working classes.
At least one volley of rubber bullets was fired directly at miners, relatives and sympathizers Wednesday as they gathered outside Spain's Industry Ministry after marching up Madrid's main north-south avenue, detonating powerful firecrackers along the way.
The clashes with police and the rubber bullets sent people scurrying for safety.
Olvidio Gonzalez, 67, a retired miner from the northern Asturias region, was hit in leg by a rubber bullet and fell to ground. Rescue workers took him away on a stretcher. A huge, round, bloody welt marked the spot where bullet hit.
"We were walking peacefully to get to where the union leaders were speaking, and they started to fire indiscriminately. There was no warning," Mr. Gonzalez said.
Protester Santiago Oviedo, 24, a physics master's candidate, said he saw protesters hurling fireworks, bottles and cans at police behind a cordon outside the ministry.
People panicked and ran, Mr. Oviedo said, adding that he saw at least 10 hit by rubber bullets.
Spain, which is struggling with a severe financial crisis that has sent unemployment and government costs soaring, imposed further austerity measures on the country Wednesday as it unveiled sales tax increases and spending cuts aimed at shaving 65 billion euros ($79.85 billion) off the state budget during the next 2½ years.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy warned parliament that Spain's future was at stake as it grapples with recession, a bloated deficit and investor wariness of its sovereign debt.
The miners, wearing hard hats and carrying walking sticks, snaked along the avenue under a hot sun to protest a 63 percent cut in subsidies to mining companies imposed by the government as it battles a deep recession, a bloated deficit and nearly 25 percent unemployment.
David Menendez, 30, from the Asturias region came down by bus with relatives and fellow miners.
He has worked in the pits for 10 years and fears losing his job in an economy with few prospects for anything else. He wore a miner's hard hat and a black T-shirt with the words "Proud to be a miner" on the front and "The miners' struggle" on the back.
"I'm here to defend my work," Mr. Menendez said. He added that he was outraged by new tax increases and austerity measures announced by Mr. Rajoy's government just hours before the protest.

The large billfish in West Hawaii waters gravitated toward Marlin Magic on Wednesday, making for Old South Marlin Club Team 4's banner day and a quick rise to the top of the leaderboard.
The North Carolina fishing team boated a 638-pound blue marlin, then tagged and released three others to vault into first place at the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament.
Old South Marlin Club has 2,850 points — well ahead of Japan's Kona Game Fishing Club-Taiyo (1,568) and New Zealand's Bay of Islands Swordfish Club-Striker (1,428).
The five-day fishing tournament continues through Friday in West Hawaii waters.
Ken Onion highlighted Old South Marlin Club's big day, hooking his 638-pounder on 80-pound test line with just 5 minutes left in his deck rotation on the fighting chair.
"This is my largest fish ever," said Onion, who fished with Capt. Jason Holtz. "It's unbelievable."
Longtime Kona angler Sue Vermillion followed Onion's catch by tagging and releasing an estimated 150-pound blue. Then Steve Gunther reeled in two more marlin — a 120-pounder and a 150-pounder — in a half-hour time frame.
Bay of Islands Swordfish Club-Strike also made a charge up the leaderboard, with Viki Smith hauling in a 584-pound marlin on 50-pound test aboard Lightspeed, giving the team valuable bonus points.
Alii Brothers Marlin Hui's Dan Holt also had a notable catch on 50-pound test, nabbing a 250-pound blue aboard Bwana for his Hawaii/California team.

Your logic is flawed, because
weak field = few world ranking points.
Westwood for example has to finish Top 3 at least to not loose any points so his average won't drop. Its a tough task but he looks to be on course.
Its not to accumulate ranking points, otherwise they would avoid these events and only play in the strong ones where a weak finish would still give them points.Rory is obviously playing to sort his swing out.Lee is playing in Sweden for appearance fees.
As we've seen on PGA and other tours, it's not just the top ranked players that are capable of winning.
Besides, we can be critical of many tournament fields, even the ones Tiger plays in. I'm sure the sponsors and the local fans are proud of their tournament and thrilled to get any big names.

DDA working on comprehensive parking policy
DDA has informed that a comprehensive parking policy based on travel demand management principles as recommended in master Plan for Delhi-2021 (MPD -2021) is presently under preparation to tackle the parking problem, minister of state in the UD Ministry Deepa Dasmunshi said.
In response to a question in Lok Sabha, she said the policy will be finalised by the Special Task Force headed by Chief Secretary, Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi which was appointed by the High Court.
In response to another question, Dasmunshi said DDA had started online booking of its grounds with effect from November 7, 2012.
In response to yet another question, she said there were 14,920 cases pertaining to DDA which were pending in various courts.
Giving more details, she said over Rs 2 crore had been spent as expenditure on court cases during the current financial year.
