Ortiz waved goodbye to the reporting side of her job Wednesday night, but will continue to co-anchor weekends with Jaie Avila through July 13.
"It was her decision," Blaise Labbe, director of news for WOAI/KABB, said. "She wanted to spend more time with her family. Before she signed her last contract, she had said her husband wanted her to be home more with her kids — a son, 6, and daughter, 9 — but she decided to stay on the job."
However, when the contract came up this go-round, she opted to focus on parenthood.
Ortiz, 42, said her goal to be a TV journalist was kindled at age 13. "I'll miss the story-telling and the advocacy — being the voice of so many people," Jackie said in a phone chat. It also will be difficult to leave behind "my teammates," she said: Jaie, weathercaster Siobhain Anders, sportscasters David Chancellor and Don Harris.
Labbe said WOAI certainly will miss her. "I've always thought Jackie was a really good reporter. She relates to people really well. When I worked at KENS, I thought she was one of the strengths over here.
"But it comes to a point when, because of he demands of your job, you miss a lot in your kids' lives," Labbe added.
Until the local NBC affiliate hires a permanent replacement, Grace White, weekend co-anchor at sister station KABB, will fill in next to Avila on WOAI weekends, leaving Ted Garcia to anchor solo Saturdays/Sundays on the Fox affiliate.

The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) chapter of the
National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) was
busy during the month of May promoting better hearing and speech.
Several graduate students participated in hearing screenings at
the UNO Child Care Center. This collaborative project is in its
second year; the children enjoy visiting with the students while
the members of NSSLHA have an opportunity to put their skills
into practice. Chapter officers delivered specially designed BHSM
candy to the offices of each college dean and various other
campus offices, along with material promoting hearing health. In
addition, two class projects were specifically designed to
promote knowledge of the profession among students. Undergraduate
students in the language development course created projects to
describe the words language or communication. Each year, this is
a favorite among students and faculty. These creative projects
are displayed throughout campus. Students also had the
opportunity to develop timelines highlighting the major
developments in speech-language pathology.
To wrap up BHSM, a few of UNO's NSSLHA members traveled
around the Omaha area to lower income child care facilities and
provided them with free informational resources, focusing on
language development. All of the child care centers were
appreciative of this gesture and informed us that many parents
and caregivers are in need of this information. They were
especially grateful that the flyers were in a bilingual

David Moss, RW CGY (58GP-17g-13a-30pts, with a +9 and 7 pp points)
Last week we featured Mikael Backlund in this report, thinking he was going to get a crack at top line duties for the Flames in the wake of Brendan Morrison's knee injury. While Backlund has had a pretty solid week with a goal and an assist in three games, he's still logging around ten minutes a game on a very effective fourth line for the Flames. Instead, it's David Moss who gets the call to play with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay on the Flames' top unit, and he's looked respectable, with a goal and a +3 rating in a tough week of matchups. He might not have a firm lock on top center duties, but keep an eye on this situation. Anyone centering a line with Iginla is worth starting at this point.
Andrej Sekera, D, BUF (64GP-3g-20a-23pts, with a +1 and 5 pp points)
Finding help on the blueline can be extremely difficult at this point of the season but there's one guy in Buffalo that's quietly enjoying the best stretch of his career. Sekara, who was actually drafted in 2004 for his strong offensive upside, has had a fairly unimpressive career with the Sabres through his first few years, but his play of late should put him on your radar. Sekara has 11 points (2g-9a) through his last eight games, including a stretch of five straight multiple point games. This is so far and beyond anything Sekara has shown us before, so it could be a total fluke or it could just be the sign of a guy who's finally found his confidence. Either way, he's probably performing better than anyone else you're going to find on the wire at this point.
Braden Holtby, G, WAS (11GP-8-2-2, with a 1.96 GAA and .931 SV%)
The carousel of young goaltending talent continues in Washington with the recent emergence of Braden Holtby. Holtby has been spectacular for the Capitals since entering the game against Tampa last Monday after Michael Neuvirth took a shot to the face. Since then Holtby has won four straight for the Caps letting in just four goals. Expect Bruce Boudreau to ride the hot hand as he usually does.
Vinny Prospal, LW/C, NYR (17GP-4g-9a-13pts, with a 0 ranking and 8 pp points)
Prospal won't be high on most ranking sheets, since he has missed most of the season because of a knee injury. However, he has been scoring at a pace recently that should make him worthy of a pickup. In his last nine games, Prospal has ten points (2g-8a). The only concern may be his icetime (average 14 minutes per game this season), but that should increase now that the Rangers will be playing must-win games for the rest of the season.

During an exclusive interview in Bor, Malet said that only just about one per cent of women in Jonglei had an idea about the forthcoming election. "These are just the educated ones," she said. Malet added: "This comes from the fact that they are able to access and read newspapers and tune on to radio programmes, something that most uneducated women in the villages and some in the towns are not able to do."
Malet felt that this ignorance would pose a challenge to the women, as they have no idea about how people vote for leaders in elections.
"Ninety-nine per cent of women in Jonglei, including some in offices don't know completely how to vote in an election. They need capacity building on election procedures," she advised.
According to the honourable MP, even women in Jonglei State who are aware of the coming elections still have no idea of how to participate in it.
Malet believes that women in Jonglei will lose the 25 per cent of the quota allocated to them by the SPLM during the Signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005 if they are not well prepared for the forthcoming national elections.
Malet also raised alarm that the 25 per cent women share that women are supposed to have in the State is not well observed. In the ministerial positions, there is only one female minister who is Rachael Nyadak. "This is not equivalent to the 25 per cent quota. There are supposed to be two women holding ministerial positions and one among the three governor's advisors," Malet said.
The fact that there is no single female advisor to the governor of Jonglei does not augur well for the good image of the 25 per cent share for women. "This is cheating," she reiterated.
Malet said they have not been able to do much about the lack of proper quota because they were appointed and the governor has a powerful hand to form his government making it hard for them to get what they want.
To reduce male dominance in government, Malet urged all women in Jonglei to register immediately voter registration starts so that they can vote wisely for best future leaders.
"Getting registered to participate in the election will show men what women can do," she said.
A quick check with women in the streets proved the honourable MP right, as the common women on the street of Bor town had no idea about the forthcoming polls. One of the women we met on the streets of Bor, Akon Atem denied having any knowledge of the coming elections.
"I completely know nothing about elections nor do I have any information. This is my first time to hear about it," said Akon Atem who has been staying in Bor town for years.
Other women said they were not speaking to the press. However, a group of women working in a restaurant said they were registered some time back by some two ladies who told them about the elections. They were asked to pay 5 SP for the registration. Asked on their stand behind the 25 per cent women share, they were surprised to learn that women have a role to play in politics.
"No, we don't know that women have got a 25 per cent share in the government. How can women contest for government position? Do they have their separate government?" Aluong Leek asked surprisingly.

Short and sweet. Chapter one will come soon. Enjoy. :3
"And everything came crashing down in front of my eyes."
When I first saw her at the social, there was something in the way she moved that caught my attention. She was gorgeous. The way wisps of her hair sometimes strayed in front of her face; I wanted to brush them out of her eyes. The way the left corner of her mouth would pull up into a smirk; I immediately was grinning like a fool. The way her eyes sparkled when they reflected the strobe lights; I wanted to look into her soul forever. She was absolutely perfect. I wanted to tell her, needed to tell her. I bit back my words, afraid of coming on too strong.
But right now, I wish I could tell her that a million times over, let her know how I feel about her. And I did. But nothing could make the situation right. There was nothing I could do to comfort the girl I loved. I felt helpless. I was useless.

After taking a four-year acting hiatus, Will Smith is finding some tough competition in Hollywood — particularly from his son, Jaden Smith.
"Jaden is probably the one of my kids who looks at me like I'm meat," the actor, 43, told Celebuzz at a Men In Black III press preview. "He's like, 'I'm coming for you. You have no idea!' He's looking across the dinner table at me."

Blackhawks take 3-1 series lead with 3-2 Game 4 win
With the Blackhawks out of Duncan Keith's services for the evening on Thursday night, other players were going to have to step up in a big way.
Unfortunately for Sheldon Brookbank, he wasn't the solution, going -2 and logging just 6:50 of ice time. In comparison, the only forward even close to him in minutes was Viktor Stalberg at 8:47.
However, Johnny Oduya, Michal Rozsival, and Niklas Hjalmarsson were very noticeable in a good way for the game, making up for the missing Keith. Between them, they were +4 with 3 assists, 4 hits and 4 blocked shots.
Once again, the Kings were first on the board, with a goal by Slava Voynov just 3:28 into the game. Bryan Bickell would even things up ten minutes later.
Los Angeles took the lead back early in the second with a Dustin Penner goal to make it 2-1. Corey Crawford had a slow clear, perhaps anticipating one of his own defensemen to be there, but Penner was on the doorstep, stole the puck, and snagged the goal.
After an uneven start in the first, the Blackhawks found their game i the second, increasing pressure on the Kings and starting crash the net. A solid blast from Niklas Hjalmarsson was tipped by Bryan Bickell and Patrick Kane made sure Quick couldn't stop it to make it 2-2 with 1:39 left in the second.
Marian Hossa would salt the game away just 1:10 into the third, with a beautiful play jump-started with a pass by Johnny Oduya, and a second pass from Michael Handzus to Hossa making it 3-2.
Los Angeles showed fatigue in the third, making bad turnovers and allowing Chicago more time in their zone than they've seen in most of two games. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks seemed to just be waking up, smothering the Kings' chances, limiting them to just 2 SOG.
The Blackhawks had 28 SOG plus 17 attempted shots to the Kings' 21 (11). The Kings outhit them 31-17 and beat them 56% on the dot, but they also had a lot of giveaways. The toll that two 7-game rounds took on the team is finally starting to show. Aside from Jonathan Quick, their top noticeable players right now are Jeff Carter, Dustin Penner, and rookie Tyler Toffoli.
Chicago was able to do what nobody else had done since March 21, 2013: beat the Kings on their home ice. Now Los Angeles will hope to do the same at the United Center.
While the Kings are battered, their heads are as yet unbowed. The defending champs will be certain to bring a desperate, leave-it-all-on-the-ice effort on Saturday night in Chicago. The Blackhawks need to stay focused on game 5, and not look ahead to the possibility of making the Final quite yet.
Three stars of the game: 1) Patrick Kane - CHI; 2) Marian Hossa - CHI; 3) Dustin Penner - LAK
Injury report: Duncan Keith will be back in Chicago's lineup after missing tonight with a suspension; the Kings may have Mike Richards back after he missed two games with a concussion.
The series returns to the United Center in Chicago on Saturday June 8th, at 7:00 p.m. CDT.

Coding for Rules in Drupal 8
In this training, Wolfgang Ziegler (fago) & Josef Dabernig (dasjo) will work with you together to get started with Rules 8.x development.
Disclaimer: Rules 8.x is still in its early phase. We won't be able to use all of the functionality that you know from Rules in Drupal 7, but this training is really focused on ground work for those willing to learn coding for Drupal 8 and work with the #d8rules initiative.
We already have solid foundation with a fundamental architecture and automated tests in place. Most conditions and actions are already ported, but there is still much to do to get all the rich functionality from Rules ported to Drupal 8. We'd be happy to train you to become one of the contributors to Rules 8.x.
You will learn how to
- Apply new architectural patterns in Drupal 8
- Understand the Core Plug-in & Context systems
- Use CMI: Configuration entities and YAML files
- Get a feel for Rules API Changes
- Typed data & Entity API changes
- Use Rules Action, Condition & Event APIs
You should bring a working Drupal 8 installation with the latest dev of the Rules module from https://github.com/fago/rules
For setting up your development environment, please refer to our documentation available at http://thefubhy.gitbooks.io/rules/content/contributing/environment.html

Concept Art for Darren Aronofsky's Cancelled BATMAN Movie
Here's a tweet from Darren Aronofsky concerning the art:
btw none of that year one batman art circling the web originated from mine or frank's work. so can't take credit or blame for it.— darren aronofsky (@DarrenAronofsky) May 7, 2013
Before Warner Bros. decided to move forward with Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, Darren Aronofsky was trying to sell them on his vision of the comic book franchise. It looks and sounds a lot like a Batman Rockabilly style story. It completely reinvents the origin story of Batman, and that's probably why the studio decided to pass on it. The movie was supposed to be an adaptation of Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, but that's not how the Aronofsky and Miller script turned out.
Bruce Wayne isn't a billionaire playboy in this version of the story, instead after the death of his parents Bruce was homeless, living on the streets of Gotham. He ends up living in a car garage owned by Big Al, and his son Little Al. After Big Al dies Little Al eventually becomes Bruce's mentor (Alfred). Batman drives around in a souped up Lincoln Continental as the first Batmobile, and the first Batman costume is just a hockey mask and a cape. While going around fighting crime, he wears his father's ring with an intertwined "T" and "W" engraved on it for Thomas Wayne. He smashed the ring into his victims faces leaving what looked like a bat shaped symbol, which he dubbed "The Bat-Man". There's a more detailed synopsis for the story that you can read here at Archive.org if you're interested.
A lot of people didn't like the idea, but I'd actually like to see this thing brought to life. I think it might have potential to be cool. I like that it's different from everything else. There's also a little bit of Catwoman art that was included as well. Check out the concept art and let us know what you think of it!

For anyone, almost anywhere on earth, the easiest way to do anything is to do it online. From buying to communicating, reading, researching or entertaining pretty much everything that has ever been conceived of is online, and will be delivered to your eyeballs or your doorstep without you having to even put on underwear.
And so, journalists, no more interested in putting on their underwear than the rest of us, appear to have looked to the internet to find the pulse of world culture. Rather than interview face-to-face and reach out into the real world, they have dragged in the cultural equivalent of roadkill for examination. That is, of course, internet comments.
And so, the internet journalists find racists, rapists and psychotic murderers so common as to be everywhere something isn't, and feel as though they have discovered a furiously growing trend. If 50 percent of internet comments below an article on any given black person are spectacularly racist, someone who doesn't instinctively understand the scope of the internet might feel that 50 percent of the population is spectacularly racist.
The trouble with this conclusion is that there are 13 year-old boys. Having been a 13 year-old boy at one time, I know that they love to torque up sanctimonious "authorities" and attract attention to themselves. I remember, specifically, many instances in which my friends and I would, under cover of internet anonymity, try to outdo one another with the most offensive things we could conceive of for the express purpose of winning that competition. This sport has a name. Trolling.
Trolling is so common that every successful internet forum has a moderator whose specific task is to boot out the trolls, and every seasoned internet user knows the adage, "don't feed the trolls" meaning that they shouldn't respond in outrage, to the delight of the trolls.
Unfortunately, it appears that the cultural analysts of our day don't understand 13 year-old boys and the enormous quantity of free time that they almost always have. In their innocence, or perhaps because the idea of a millions-strong army of flaming racists make for a compelling article, the worst possible statements from the most twisted imaginations on the planet are mistaken for mainstream opinion.
From the glowing screen of a journalists laptop, it might appear that a majority of the planet belongs to a viciously raping, murdering sect of the Aryan nations, and that the Dark Ages are back with a vengeance. Fortunately for humanity, this doomsday cult is actually a relatively small number of voice-cracking prepubescent boys in the suburbs giggling around their smartphones.
While Slate or Jezebel.com might have us believe that the Ku Klux Klan version of Genghis Khan's army is upon us, the reality is closer to a little league team that is too shy to talk to the girls in their grade.

Townsville fears upsurge in dengue cases
The dengue fever outbreak in the Townsville suburb of Heatley, in north Queensland, continues to cause concern for authorities, with the latest check on homes finding one in seven has mosquito breeding sites.
The council says the threat of a 1992-style dengue outbreak is looming.
In 1992 and 1993 there were more than 900 confirmed cases of dengue in Townsville and Charters Towers.
The council's Gavin Hammond says residents still do not seem to understand the importance of checking their own yards.
There have been eight confirmed cases of the disease in Heatley in recent months and authorities are currently testing more people with suspected cases.
Mr Hammond says if the disease is not brought under control by October, it will be hard to stop.
"That is more right on the end of my nose at the moment, just looking forward and seeing if we're having a problem in the winter, what's the problem in the warmer months going to be like?" he said.
"Dengue in a more humid environment will transmit far quicker and that then creates more of a drama for us to get in front of the virus to slow it down."
He says simple things like tipping out containers of water around the house makes all the difference.
"Many hands make light work and I suppose that's what we're trying to do is to get everyone out there to do their small bit which in turn will make a greater bit for the community and probably less work for us to be involved in," he said.

It seems like a bad idea; even if it works now it's the kind of thing that will blow up mysteriously four years down the road. So I'd avoid it if reasonably possible.

We each have our own story and reaction to last night's election night outcome. But for me – honestly – the thing that I was most excited to share with my girls this morning – and to watch unfold in January – was the victory for women last night.
I am in awe of the results from election day for women. No matter which party you voted for, SIX women picked up Senate seats last night.
This morning we can tell our children that 1 in every 5 Senators is a woman. Just yesterday I was explaining to my almost seven-year-old why she should always vote when given the chance and in a somewhat feeble attempt to give her perspective, I explained to her that women in our country have only had the right to vote since 1920 when the 19th Amendment passed.
Okay, I left out the part about the 19th Amendment but I did try to make a big stink about cherishing the right to vote and the women who came before her who didn't have that ability. This was how I tried to explain to her what freedom means.
So now we wake up today to learn of this record-breaking moment for women in the Senate, though according to this Bloomberg piece (notably the only one I could find thoroughly covering the advances of women in the Senate), a few races were still being tallied as they published the piece around 3AM.
I think this is so significant and important not just for our daughters to know but also for our sons – for them all to know that this is a defining moment in history when women are striving for elected office and reaching elected office in record numbers. Again – on both sides of the aisle. And how about the state of New Hampshire? In case you didn't hear this through all the other election night coverage, here's this amazing fact from the Bloomberg piece:
"In neighboring New Hampshire, female incumbent senators Kelly Ayotte, a Republican, and Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, will be part of another first. New Hampshire in January becomes the only state to have women in the governor's mansion, in both Senate seats, and in all House seats."
I look forward to watching these new female elected leaders take office, to seeing what new issues they bring forward and to continuing the conversation about who our political leaders our with my girls – and how meaningful it is that more of our leaders are women.
How did you explain what freedom is to your little ones? I definitely struggled with that one.
For more fun and frolic – though admittedly because I know just how diverse my readers are and they don't come to me for political commentary – I generally try to avoid political pieces – be sure to "Like" the Wired Momma Facebook page. For the next two months, I will have less time to blog but I will definitely check in more with everyone on the WM FB page – so don't miss out!

There are many general titles on landscape photography, but few that really tackle the issue of composition in great depth. The Art of Landscape Photography assumes a good working knowledge of the technical basics – such as correct exposure, filtration, and sharpness – and concentrates on the 'heart and soul' of landscape photography: the principles of composition and aesthetic design to convey meaning and emotion.
While technique will not be ignored, the emphasis will be on how it impacts on the aesthetics of the image – for example, using filtration to enhance the mood of a scene rather than simply to balance the extremes of contrast.
Because of the nature of the subject matter, this is very much a picture-led book, with numerous example pictures to illustrate the compositional points being discussed. At the back of the book there will be thumbnails of all the pictures used, with a summary of the technical details – camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, filtration – to ensure that those who crave technical information are not disappointed.

The size and cost of the Defense Department's portfolio of major weapons acquisition programs have fallen to their lowest levels in five years, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office
DoD's major weapons portfolio decreased by 10 programs in 2012 — to 86 programs — while the total cost of DoD's big-ticket procurements fell by $152 billion to $1.6 trillion.
Much of that reduction comes from the fact that 14 costly programs, accounting for about $168 billion, left the portfolio. Programs typically exit the portfolio when they are 90 percent completed or if the Pentagon terminates them.
Among those that exited the portfolio in 2012 were the F-22 Raptor ($81 billion) and the mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles ($40 billion), said Mike Sullivan, director of acquisition and sourcing management at GAO, in an interview on In Depth with Francis Rose.

However, DoD also found savings in the programs that remained in the portfolio, according to GAO.
For example, eight of the 10 most expensive programs in DoD's portfolio reported cost reductions over the past year, totaling as much as $5 billion, according to GAO's review.
Sullivan said there was also an increased percentage of programs meeting cost-performance metrics.
Many of the programs performed should-cost analyses that helped drive down cost estimates, to the tune of about $45 billion, Sullivan said. "So, that's not necessarily a lot of money, but it's a trend that we have not seen in the past," Sullivan said.
In addition, DoD's Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation Office seemed to be more consistent about enforcing should-cost guidelines and affordability targets, Sullivan said.
"I think the department is taking an interest in enforcing them a little bit more," he said. "And programs are beginning to use them and are being able to identify some cost savings … they're looking out in the future and seeing where they might save money out there."
Twelve of the 17 new programs that were recently added to the portfolio established these affordability requirements, Sullivan said. Overall, 35 of the 40 programs currently in the development phase have completed a should-cost analysis and 29 of those 35 have realized savings. "I believe the environment has changed," Sullivan said.
Knowledge-based acquisition on the rise?
Along with the total cost of DoD's portfolio of major acquisitions, GAO also examined a few other key factors. Among them was "knowledge attained" at key points during the acquisition process.
The more acquisition and program officials know about a program and its needs, the less risk there is in terms of technology, design and productions.
"A knowledge deficit early in a program can cascade through design and production leaving decision makers with less knowledge to support decisions about when and how best to move into subsequent acquisition phases that commit more budgetary resources," the report stated.
GAO specifically examined 40 programs that had started development but were not yet in the production phase. Overall, newer acquisition programs demonstrated higher levels of knowledge at key points in the acquisition process, such as the beginning of the design phase and the beginning of production, Sullivan said.
Sullivan credited the 2009 Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act with driving a more knowledge-based approach to acquisition.
In addition, "the department's budget is facing an awful lot of turbulence now," Sullivan said, "so I think there's more seriousness brought to these things."

Retinal Development, Genetics and Therapy Section
Section Chief: Anand Swaroop, Ph.D. The primary goal of our research is to develop novel therapies for retinal and macular degeneration by delineating cellular pathways and regulatory networks underlying photoreceptor development, aging, and disease. In addition to gene therapy, we are developing stem cell- based approaches for drug discovery and photoreceptor replacement. We seek to understand how photoreceptors originate from stem cells and form synaptic circuits to initiate complex visual process, and how their function is compromised during aging and in disease. We collaborate with scientists all over the world to identify genetic variants/mutations that cause or modify clinical phenotypes in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, cone dystrophies, Leber congenital amaurosis, or age-related macular degeneration.

When you put earned income into a tax-deferred account like an IRA or a 401(k), Uncle Sam eventually wants to collect those taxes. So starting in the year you turn 70 ½, the IRS requires that you take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). It's important to know when and how much to take to avoid hefty penalties. Here are the Top 5 mistakes people make with RMDs and how you can avoid them:
1. Knowing when to take the first distribution
One of the most confusing RMD requirements and the question most people ask is, "When do I have to start taking my required minimum distributions?" The clock starts the year that you turn 70 ½, but you can delay taking that first distribution until April 1 of the year following the year that you turned 70 ½.
Let's say you turn 70 ½ on November 5, 2014. For this first distribution, you can elect to either take the RMD by December 31 of 2014, or wait and take it by April 1 of 2015. Keep in mind that if you delay your first RMD distribution to 2015, you'll have to take two RMDs in that year, one for the delayed initial year, in this case due by April 1, 2015 and one for the prior year, due by December 31, 2015.
2. Missing a required distribution
The most common mistake people make is to forget to take a required minimum distribution each year. As I mentioned above, with the exception of the first year, RMDs must be taken by December 31 each year. If you fail to take the full required distribution by December 31, the IRS will impose a 50% penalty for the amount not taken on time.
3. Not calculating your RMD correctly
Many people forget to include all their retirement accounts when calculating their RMDs. These accounts include:
Your RMD calculation is based on the December 31 balance in those accounts so you'll need to have your December account statements handy.

Injury Worries For Hoddle
Hoddle is worried that the club might be forced into the transfer market to look for loans in order to get some cover for Wolves crippling injury list. He is hoping that the excellent training complex and medical set up will cut the injury list quickly and feels the club are running out of excuses for not gaining promotion to the Premiership.
He said: 'The new training ground is a major, major benefit. We obviously won't be able to avoid injuries because you can't legislate for that, but we will hopefully be able to get the players back quicker than before. I'm not saying it's a reason why we are certain to get into the Premiership, but the new training ground means we have taken another positive step on the way there.'
He also says the club might have to plunge into the transfer market if injuries to key players don't clear up soon. The manager has George Ndah, Paul Ince, Rohan Ricketts, Carl Cort, Kenny Miller, Michael Oakes, Matt Murray, Mark Clyde and Mark Davies all on the treatment table rather than on the pitch.
He said 'If we were going into the Christmas period carrying the number of injured players we have at the moment then I'd be worried. Everyone knows the Christmas and New Year period is crucial because there's 12 points to play for in eight days. We're hoping we'll have players back by that time, but if not then we'll have to look at the loan market.' Adding 'You need a 22 man strong squad over the Christmas period because there will be times when you need to swap things around'.
Hoddle says there is a chance that most of the injury list will return to fitness by then and it is crucial that they have fresh legs because 'Having 12 points to play for in eight days is a ridiculous number. And if we have a bad winter - like it's being forecast - it could cause a real problem if you haven't got a strong squad.'

It's Donald. He prefers Don. "I don't like my middle name either," Don informed me over our carryout baked mostaccioli from Roscoe, Ill.'s Anna Maria's.
He wouldn't leave his shop, Don's Coins and Collectibles, long enough to talk with me over lunch.
"What's your middle name," I goaded.
"Denton." After his grandfather's middle name.
I had lots of questions about his trend-sensitive business, especially since I have quite a collection of Beanies myself.
Don reflected on how his late wife, Regina, had inspired his love for collectibles.
"She worked with the newborns at Rockford Hospital, and was known as the Beanie lady. She'd sit in a chair, rock the babies and the girls, the nurses, couldn't get downstairs to the gift shop where the Beanies were. So she'd go get the Beanies for them.
"Pretty soon," Don remembered, "we'd end up driving around, picking up Beanies from different Ty wholesalers."
"Did you anticipate their future value, or were you just helping your wife?" I asked.
"Just helping," he said, matter-of-factly
"Then your entrepreneurial wheels started turning?"
"Yeah–there's money to be made in this," he recalled, punctuating the memory jog with his distinctive belly laugh.
"I would buy the meal to get the Teeny Beanie, then threw the food out," I confessed.
"Yep. I did that too," he told me.
"Are Teenie's still valuable?" I asked.
"No. You can't get even 50 cents for them. They gave millions of them things out. I couldn't drink that much coffee, so I'd go throw that in the dumpster."
Don recalled seeing lines around the block to stores in Beanie's heydays.
"The people running these stores were selling out in about two hours; they wouldn't have to sell another Beanie for the rest of the month. They paid the rent, the lights, the gas bills."
That was before he opened his own store. At first they sold the collectibles from their own home's front yard.
"We'd put up a tent, Saturday and Sunday. We'd make anywhere from $2000 to maybe $4000 on a weekend, at about a 60 percent profit. Back then we were paying $5 and selling them for $15. A dealer pays $2.50. Some sold for $50, $60, $70. Now they're selling for less than $5.
"But you were always into collectibles," I said.
"I was working for my dad's grocery store in Rockford. My dad told me I had goofed up enough at 11, so I became a butcher."
"Aren't there child labor laws?" I half-kidded.
"Not when you're working for your dad," he explained. But it was at the store that Don began to appreciate collectible coins. There was nothing better than exchanging coins out of the cash register, a penny for a penny, a nickel for a nickel, to fill all those books up," he said, pointing to the coin books in his shop.
"I had those too," I told him.
"This bis good mostaccioli" I remarked.
"It sure is," he agreed. "Lots of mozzarella on the top," he added.
"When I was 16, I found out my brother was taking me." he told me.
"He collected Indian pennies that came through the store. Problem was, I would put a penny in the cash register, take it home to him, he'd give me a penny for it, and he'd run to the coin shop and get a quarter apiece for 'em."
"How much older was he than you?" "He was younger," Don said.
"Let me get this straight, your younger brother was taking you for a ride?"
"Yep. Probably looked through one of my books that I never bothered to look at, the red book with the prices inside."
"The price of ignorance," I echoed.
"Yep, he didn't get no more pennies."
"Did you end up in the grocery business?"
"I loved it. There was only one little problem. I went to college. I was going to be another (big name) grocer."
"You wanted a chain?"
"Umm-hmm. I was going to move that store into a big store, then a bigger store, and then more stores.
Then after one semester away, my father sold the damn store.
"Right under your feet! Did he tell you?"
"No. He also decided to clean out the basement while I was gone. He got rid of all the 5- and 10-cent comic books, which are expensive now. I had boxes of those."
"That would make you a little bitter," I said.
"Yep." Don's stereotypic John Wayne style said much in a few words. …to be continued

Great review here of the new Audi A4. Make sure to check it out!
An A4 just like the original, but more so: bigger, quicker, more luxurious, and equipped in no-excuses fashion with all the latest comforts and conveniences.
In a nutshell, that's what Audi has delivered. The 2009 A4 is simply more of everything, whether we're talking about rear seat room, horsepower, or iPod integration. It casts a shadow nearly the size of the original Audi 5000 and offers more than twice its power. The new interior has already received rave reviews in the A5 coupe, while the styling conveys grace, dignity, and the unique restraint which has characterized Audi for the last four decades. Still, none of this is particularly shocking. So-called "small" German sedans have been steadily growing larger for quite some time now. The latest Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 Series are quite sizable cars, and even if the A4 is now longer than either of them – which it is, by nearly half a foot – the simple, almost expected, fact that Audi's "small sedan" is bigger than it used to be doesn't do much to raise anyone's eyebrows.
The shocker, if you will, comes from the claim that the 2009 A4 is no heavier than the car it replaces, while being significantly more interesting to drive thanks to a revamped drivetrain and a rather fascinating new electronic system which offers individual control of steering response, throttle programming, and suspension settings. It seems hard to believe – but if Audi's not fibbing, it would make for a rather fascinating turn of events in the entry-level luxury market. For more than a decade, every new entrant into the segment has been a little sleepier and porkier than its predecessor. Does Audi have the antidote?

text: What are your thoughts and tactics around fishing "used" steelhead water. With our rivers as crowded as they are, after fishing a spot at first light, I am often left with negotiating decisions of where to fish next. If you are lucky, you may be able to get to another run that has not been fished yet, but otherwise I am left to decide which piece of used water to fish and how to fish it. I fish a floating line and waking fly almost 100 percent of the time from late spring through fall. I always seem to hear that fishing surface methods on used water is a waste of time, but I do seem to recall times when I have gotten steelhead on top in water that was just fished over. Just wondering your thoughts and expereinces on this subject. Grace and Peace, Todd

Jim Carrey stars as Count Olaf, the distant relation to the three orphaned Baudelaire children. As their guardian, the cunning Count hopes to snatch the vast fortune inherited by the children. At 14 Violet is the bravest and oldest Baudelaire; Klaus, 12, is intelligent and obsessed with words; and the toddler Sunny speaks in a language only her siblings can understand and has a knack for biting. Based on Daniel Handler's popular "Lemony Snicket" books. Also with Meryl Streep, Emily Browning, Kara Hoffman, Billy Connolly, Cedric the Entertainer, Jude Law and Liam Aiken. Directed by Brad Silberling. [1:53]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A man forces a 14-year-old girl to marry him by threatening to harm her young sister; the man is much older and a distant relative. A man flirts with a woman. A woman's dress is low-cut and reveals cleavage.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A woman is left in a boat that is attacked by vicious leeches (we hear her scream) and we see a
banana peel pop to the surface (she had eaten a banana earlier). A house on a cliff is teetering over a dark sea, and it begins to break apart due to strong winds: three children are still inside and struggle to get to land, a stove bursts into flames, a doorknob shatters, a refrigerator tips over and slides out of the house, and they are trapped on a platform that remains; they break a beam that causes the platform to tip and allows them to jump back onto the cliff. A swarm of leeches swims toward a small boat with three children and a woman inside, the leeches pound against the sides breaking holes through and causing the boat to begin to fill with water (we see the leeches in a frenzy and the water churning around the boat). Three children are locked in a car that is left on railroad tracks, a train speeds toward them, and the track is switched just before the train crushes the car. A man with a metal hook on his hand attacks a boy. A man shoves a boy's head into water pretending that the boy is drowning and the man is saving him. A man forces a 14-year-old girl to marry him by threatening to harm her young sister (the toddler is hung in a cage, high over the ground). Three children find a dead man (we see his lifeless hand). An enormous snake lunges toward a boy (we see its long fangs): he is uninjured but the toddler he is holding is frightened and cries. A man is chained to the front of a speeding train (we hear him screaming). A man threatens to kill three children, and a man with a knife threatens three children. A man hits a boy in the face causing him to fall back onto the floor. We are told that a woman has committed suicide; we see a large hole in a window and presume that she has jumped into the sea below. A crowd of people surrounds a man. A man falls back off a platform into the sea, a man is trapped in a car on railroad tracks and a train approaches, and a man is attacked by leeches. A boy shoves a man to the ground (the man has a wooden leg). A woman describes a man having died by being eaten by leeches (she describes their having very sharp teeth and attacking in groups). A man yells at a man. A man tells a girl that she will rub his bunions after they are married. Three children sail a small boat into a dark cave. A man with a sword beheads a mannequin. A toddler bites a man's leg, and a toddler bites the head off a toy elf. A man tells three children that their parents have died in a mysterious house fire, and we see smoldering rubble as they walk through the remains of the house. We hear several other reports of people dying in mysterious fires. Something in a cage lunges toward a man. A piece of paper burst into flames. A man reaches toward a door, and an eye-shaped hole opens startling him. Three children walk toward a very dark and decrepit house. Three children go into a house that teeters on a cliff over a dark sea. A snake wraps itself around a man's shoulders (he does not appear in danger). A rat crawls through a kitchen cabinet and squeals when the door is opened, and large and creepy-looking insects skitter inside cabinets. A man's house is filled with lizards and snakes of various types (e.g. a two-headed snake, and a three-eyed toad). There are many skeletons of reptiles and birds throughout a house. A boy touches a spyglass that is hot, he recoils and we hear a sizzle. A man pretends to be jolted in an electric chair, and a man pretends to be a dinosaur and contorts his face and body. We hear eerie music and see a man walking through fog. We see children being forced to do many menial tasks: washing large piles of dishes, scrubbing floors, etc. A woman talks about fearing doorknobs (if they should break and a shard should fly into her eye), refrigerators (they could crush you if they tip over), ovens (they could explode), realtors (she screams when one comes to her door), etc. A toddler dangles from her teeth while biting a table. A toddler follows, and then plays with a large snake. A boy throws a stick and a toddler catches it in her teeth.
PROFANITY 1 - 3 mild obscenities, 1 religious exclamation, insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Family, death of family members, grief, parenting, generosity, orphans, inventions, paranoia, risk taking, love, home, adventures, being unique, suicide, sanctuary, relatives, mysteries, greed.

'Vagina: A New Biography'
By Naomi Wolf.
HarperCollins, 400 pp., $27.99.
Reviewed by Susan Pelle
Feminist author and political commentator Naomi Wolf, known for her best-selling classic "The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women" (1991), has spent decades researching and writing about what it means to be a woman. In her latest effort, "Vagina: A New Biography," Wolf unfortunately fails to entertain or cover new ground as she considers the vagina's connection to the brain, creativity and female identity.
In "Vagina," Wolf rightly claims that any attempt to control a woman's sexuality is an attempt to control her knowledge and autonomy. Prompted by her own medical crisis, Wolf conducts historical and cultural research to illustrate how the vagina has shifted from a sacred object to a shamed, regulated and violated body part. She then attempts to detail how the vagina can be reclaimed as a source of pride, femininity, self-esteem, self-knowledge, euphoria, success and wholeness.
To illustrate that the vagina is not only connected to the brain, but is also a "part of the female soul," Wolf cites evolutionary biology, neurobiology, Tantric texts and workshops, sociology, history and women's literature. She concludes that if the "vagina-brain" connection is nurtured, women will ultimately have a deeper and more poignant understanding of who they really are. Certainly, Wolf has done her research, but she fails to recognize the implications of her analysis.
Wolf writes to an exclusively heterosexual audience and believes that if a woman is to achieve a new state of consciousness, an intimate, caring and attentive relationship with a man is absolutely necessary. When all is perfect — the environment is safe, the right words are exchanged, the atmosphere is set and foreplay is taken seriously — the release of dopamine, oxytocin and opiods will foster a woman's confidence, attachment and bliss.
Unfortunately for women, according to Wolf, this altered state of consciousness cannot be achieved on one's own. Wolf insists that a "vibrator and a pint of Häagen-Dazs are not enough," and instead compiles a patronizing "how to" list for men: treat your woman with love and respect, bring her flowers, "tidy the bedroom," gaze into her eyes, talk and listen to her, find her "sacred spot," and keep sexual play "safe." Advocating vanilla sex as key to women's creativity and liberation, Wolf denounces pornography, any sense of sexual danger and "excessive masturbation," going so far as to warn that "a nation of masturbating people … is a subjugated, not a liberated, population." I find myself both disturbed and bored by Wolf's erroneous proclamations. Where are the playful possibilities?
Wolf is adamant that if the vagina is "neglected" by women and their men, a life of depression will follow. Just get to know your vagina on a more intimate level and you will live a happy life, she suggests. Unfortunately, Wolf ignores the cultural and political circumstances that might affect a woman's quality of life and instead tells the tale of a white, straight, middle-class and able-bodied woman's vagina. This woman hasn't had to struggle with the disparaging and hyper-sexualized images that women of color negotiate, nor has this woman had to struggle with the de-sexualized images of the disabled female body. Further, Wolf utterly neglects transsexual and transgender individuals. If the vagina is the key to a woman's wholeness, creativity and liberation, where do these women stand?
One of the most troubling aspects of "Vagina" is Wolf's analysis of the traumatized vagina. To illustrate that there is a "vagina-brain" connection, she places self-actualized vaginas in direct opposition to the brutal and systematic rape of girls and women in war-torn Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo; she also points to "female genital mutilation" (FGM), a ritual that occurs in specific African countries Wolf leaves unnamed. She concludes that because these women have been ravaged and mutilated they experience "injuries" to the brain and have absolutely no possibility of reconnecting with their vaginas. Wolf is lucky (and privileged) enough to have surpassed the shame and pain surrounding her vagina. Yet, the implication of her research is if women cannot overcome such traumas, then they are doomed to live an incomplete life.
I was anticipating something more teasing and less clinical from "Vagina," but Wolf views a funny or tender approach to the vagina as not "profound enough." In the end, Wolf has composed a mythical narrative of the vagina as the sole source of female creativity, self-awareness and liberation. I am not suggesting that women ignore the vagina. Of course an explosive orgasm can release feel-good chemicals in the brain. Of course mind-blowing sex can momentarily transport one into a state of ecstasy. But a vibrator and a pint of Häagen-Dazs can also do the trick. Unfortunately, Wolf tells the story of one vagina, not all vaginas.

Story from J.T
If you think you are beaten you are
If you think you dare not
you don't
If you like to win but think
you can't
It's almost sure you won't
If you think that you'll lose you've lost
For out in the world you'll find Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.J.T started the speech that she gave recently with the above piece. She went on to tell how in Year 12 she had been told to drop every "superfluous" activity and focus completely on study. She gave up public speaking, trips to the gym, singing - all the things she really enjoyed doing. Her life took a nose dive - she started neglecting her body by overeating, not exercising, not meditating, the time she sat in her room to study she was not studying at all .... It got to the stage where I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had done Sandy's CALM Seminar so I did have some information for self-help in my head and I also had a great deal of pressure surrounding me that I gave in to because I did not have complete control over where I was going. What I needed to know was how to maximise the use of meditation. It was at this low point that I contacted Sandy, asking him if he could throw some light on the situation ... I desperately needed help if I was to survive the HSC. Sandy helped me to regain some balance in my life and I resumed some of the things I loved to do. The important factors in allowing me to survive the exams and assessment periods during my HSC were the methods I have been taught at Sandy's seminars. Also reading "Student's Steps to Success" pointed out a few elements of study and taking care of yourself in simple enough language I believe nearly any HSC student could benefit from it. Knowing what most students go through during year 12, I believe that reading this book is a big plus. I also used the methods set out in Sandy's tape "Achieving in Exams" to prepare myself before, after and during the exam.

Running isn't for everyone, but it's one of the best exercises you can do for your heart, your body and to burn extra calories. It's also one of the more accessible activities - all you really need is a good pair of shoes and a place to run...no fancy equipment, special skills. But, even though it's accessible, it isn't always easy starting a running program. It takes time to build up the endurance to run for even a short period of time, even if you've been walking, cycling or doing other activities. Don't give up! There's a way to become a runner without killing yourself if you're patient and follow these easy steps. Before you get started, visit your doctor and get the okay to start a running program.

Step One: Get Geared Up

The Shoes

The most important piece of equipment you'll need is a quality pair of running shoes. Your best bet is to visit a specialty running store (like Fleet Feet). If you have an old pair of running or walking shoes, take them with you. The sales folks in running stores are experts and can often look at the wear pattern on your old shoes to help them pick the right shoe for you. Wear or bring the socks you plan on wearing while you run and test the shoes out by running or walking around the store. Plan on spending anywhere from $70 to $100 for a good pair of shoes.

The Clothes

What you wear when running comes down to comfort. A simple pair of shorts and a tee shirt will work fine. Most runners opt for running shorts, which generally have a split leg, built-in underwear, and a nifty key pocket. It's a good idea to buy clothes that wick sweat away from the body such as CoolMax or Lycra.

Step Two: Set Your Goals

First, figure out where you'll run. If you're going outside, try to find roads made of dirt or asphalt rather than concrete, which is hard on the body. Remember to wear reflective clothing when running at night and to run towards traffic so you don't get nailed by a car. If you go to a gym, the treadmill offers a cushy surface to run on while protecting you from the elements.

Second, realize you'll spend more time walking than running your first time out.

Start with a brisk 10-minute walk to warm up

Move into an easy jog for as long as you can, shooting for about 30-60 seconds.

Slow down to a walk for about 2-5 minutes to let your body recover.

Repeat that, alternating jogging and walking for 10-20 minutes, depending on your fitness level and how you feel.

Each week, increase the amount you run by about 10%, while also decreasing the amount of time you run.

Gradually work your way up to 30 minutes of continuous running about 3 times a week.

Focus on a pace that allows you to hold a conversation. If you can't breathe, slow down or take more walk breaks. Don't be a slave to your stopwatch.

! If you're following your program consistently (i.e., at least three days a week), you should be running continuously for 20 to 30 minutes by the fourth week. When you start out, you should be focused on time, not intensity. Once you can run continuously for 30 minutes or so, you can start going faster.

Step Three: Dealing With...

Side stitches are fairly common when you start running. No one knows why they occur, but there are some things you can do to minimize them.

Wait 2 to 4 hours after a large meal before running, since running too soon can cause stomach cramps and side stitches.

Strengthen your abs and back. Side stitches can also be caused by weak stomach muscles and your abs do a lot of work to keep your body in position while you're running.Doing consistent ab and lower back exercises will help strengthen your torso and reduce those stitches.

Stop and walk. It may help to hold your hands up in the air as you take deep breaths. Sometimes pressing into the cramp and massaging it can help, too.

Shin splints are another distressing side effect of running, particularly if you're a newbie or if you've increased your mileage or intensity. To avoid them:

Ease into your running workouts: The walk/run plan is one of the best ways to condition your legs to get used to running without overdoing it

Cross-train: Using your body in a different way can trigger your muscles in a different way so you're not putting the same stress on your body day after day.

Check your shoes: You should probably replace your shoes every 300 or 400 miles. When you buy a new pair, mark it on your calendar and set a reminder for when to buy a new pair.

If you do get shin splints, follow the RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) method of treatment immediately after your run and reduce your mileage and/or change your running surface if it's a chronic problem.

Running is a great way to get in shape, burn lots of calories, make your heart healthy and increase bone density. Be consistent and you'll be training for your first race in no time!

The Greek myth of Prometheus wants us to understand a lesson: For every technological advancement (such as the fire Prometheus brought to mere mortals), there runs the risk of severe consequences. The consequences can be both foreseeable, or unavoidable, but they are surely there. Knowing that such consequences exist, why is it that we continue on our eternal quest?
Perhaps being the mortal recipients of technology wasn't enough – perhaps we want to be the god that brings the fire.
PROMETHEUS centres around scientists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall Green). They are archeologists who believe there are untold secrets in mankind's origins, and believe so due to star maps discovered amongst the artifacts of several completely unrelated ancient civilizations. Convinced they have correlated those maps to their point of origin in the universe, the archeologists persuade the founder of The Weyland Corporation t stake a mission to the deepest reaches of space, so they can find out what awaits them.
The team assembled to make the journey on the vessel Prometheus, consists of Janek (Idris Elba) a blue collar captain, Vickers (Charlize Theron) a supervising Weyland liaison, scientists Milburn and Fifield (Rafe Spall and Sean harris), and an android named David (Michael Fassbender). Not all of them believe in the mission's merit, but they are all prepared to take Weyland's money.
Prometheus lands on the distant moon LV-223, choosing to investigate a curious straight line of hills. The hills prove to be unnatural – seemingly "man-made" as they include features like doors. As the team enters into the first hollowed-out hill, they soon discover the first answer this hidden moon is holding.
As they follow a long series of hidden caves, they eventually come upon alien corpses – one of which has been decapitated by a nearby blast door. When David manages to open the door, the crew stands in awe of a temple-like room…filled with oblong canisters…and a giant statue of a face.
The first answer has only led to more questions.
PROMETHEUS has no interest in playing things straight, so if you are looking for a flat-out prequel to Ridley Scott's ALIEN, you'd best move along. This film doesn't want to fill in every detail of what Dallas, Kane, and Lambert found in that chamber after disembarking The Nostromo. Instead, what PROMETHEUS wants to do is expound the original horror story, and turn it into a conversation that is far more vast…one about spirituality, existentialism, science, and faith.
The myth of Prometheus is about the desire to advance ourselves as a species, and the consequences that such desire can bring…or to paraphrase a twenty year-old blockbuster, the fact that we as a species spend so much time trying to figure out if we could, that we barely pay much attention to whether or not we should. Humanity can become obsessed with what we don't know, and with each passing age we come closer and closer to getting the answers to the biggest questions: who we are and where we come from. However, time and again we forget that in bringing that fire of knowledge to the world, we risk a torturous punishment.
The core of PROMETHEUS comes down to Elizabeth and David.
Elizabeth is something of a paradox herself: a scientist who believes in God. She is a woman dedicating her life's work to unearthing the very building blocks of our universe, and doing it all while quietly acknowledging a supreme deity that put those building blocks in place. At one point, the role of God is boiled down to the ability to create life, and Charlie suggests a theory that anyone who can create life must be a god. In this moment, we discover that Elizabeth herself cannot have children, leading her to ask what that makes her. If the inability to create life excludes her from being a god, is her existence something less than those of us who can? Perhaps this quiet frustration is what leads Elizabeth to make the dangerous decisions she makes. Further, perhaps this frustration is what has driven her on this entire ambitious quest.
With that in mind, it could be said that what Elizabeth represents is how the most ambitious scientific advancements are driven by the desire to close the gap between God and humanity.
David, on the other hand has no use for gods: he's trying to be more human. We see this when his character is introduced, and he joyfully plays basketball. A robot is designed to work, so if he is going to be something more, he must learn to take value from individual enjoyment to compliment his technological proficiency. We also see him trying to be human by aping what he sees. Just like a young boy practicing his best pickup lines, he rehearses his demeanour in front of a mirror after watching LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. For David, mankind is God: we are his creator and what he is striving to be.
So what we have is story, where a human tries to be more like God, with a robot right beside her trying to be more like a human. What's interesting, is the robot is trying what we all try as children – he is trying to please his parents. Elizabeth on the other hand, has quietly stopped trying to please hers. Thus, the film poses another question: Is it better to equal our creators, or please them?
That all of this philosophy and theology is interwoven into an epic spectacle is something truly special. It must have been so tempting for the filmmakers just to want to fill in the blanks of what we already know…to present PROMETHEUS as a typical prequel that's really just a gussied-up rehash. Instead, Ridley Scott has both amazed us as moviegoers and challenged us. He knows that we know the lethal danger contained on this world, and still finds ways to leave us gnashing our teeth with a heightened sense of dread. But while we cower at the thought of a parasite escaping its host (or invading its host in this case), he uses the down moments to have a bigger conversation – one with no clear answers.
There's the rub: If what you want from PROMETHEUS is pure entertainment, you will likely be let down, just as so many are when they ultimately get the answer to a lingering question. If, on the other hand, you value a Hollywood film that can wax philosophical about the unending quest for knowledge, then this film has a lot to offer you.
In general, science fiction has a hard time aging well. Inevitably, we eclipse both the technology and the age, and what once seemed to be something beyond our imagination dwindles down to something quaint. What allows the best science fiction to endure is the way it uses the medium to have a conversation about timeless and universal ideas. By building PROMETHEUS on a foundation of truth-seeking and existentialism, Ridley Scott has done something daring…something that will divide audiences…but something that will ultimately do what only the very best science fiction can do:
PROMETHEUS will endure.

Graphic Bear Hunting Pictures: To View or Not to Viewfrom:
Many sites have graphic bear hunting pictures. These pictures are bloody and depict actual kills with the hunters that felled them.
Graphic bear hunting pictures can also show the size of the bear quite easily. Some pictures online show how large grizzlies really are by using their pelt and the number of people standing side by side in the pictures. In one picture, there is a hunter holding one paw of the bear. He is holding it in two hands, and could easily fit another one between. The paw is larger than the size of his face.
There are graphic bear hunting pictures that show the hunters used rifles to harvest bears. With the number of graphic bear hunting pictures online, hunters have a fair idea of how big these bears can get.
One site shows a picture of a polar bear, still bleeding but dead. This picture also comes with a story of how the bear was shot after it attacked a sleeping hunter in his tent. The man is, according to reports, lucky to be alive after being the victim of a bear attack.
You can even purchase graphic bear hunting pictures on DVDs. These DVDs have videos and pictures of bears as they are being hunted and after they have been harvested. They will show the size of the bear, how to properly cape and blood the bear. These videos are quite inexpensive, and because they are targeted to a specific market, available online only.
Graphic bear hunting pictures are not for everyone to view. If you are not a hunter or are against hunting, then you should not view these videos. These videos and pictures are very graphic, with a lot of blood and internal body parts. These pictures are obviously not for the feint of heart.
Good graphic bear hunting pictures show the hunters only what is necessary – the kill, the size of the kill in comparison to the hunter, and the pelt, after it has been cleaned properly. They may seem boring, but that is all that is necessary to show. Showing other all the other things is, from a non-hunter's point of view, disgusting and unimportant.
As a hunter, you know doubt know that graphic bear hunting pictures are all over the internet. However, your fellow hunters would probably have some interesting pictures that they would be happy to share with you. Your photos can be used as educational tools when it comes to educating those who do not understand the thrill of hunting. Share your bear hunting pictures with your fellow hunters and show others that hunting is not the horrible, disgusting thing that animal rights activists think.

Kiwis triumph as Australia falls short
Josh Blackie fends off an England player as New Zealand wins the gold 29-21 in the sevens at Telstra Dome last night.
Photo: Jason South
Australia's Scott Fava fell hard and didn't get up. He started convulsing and kept convulsing. Almost 50,000 spectators at Telstra Dome fell into a complete and eerie silence. One of Fava's loved ones was granted access to the field in distress. The Australian forward was held down as he was taken away away on a stretcher because the spasms wouldn't stop.
Australia finished the sevens without a medal, dented pride, busted ribs, knee and shoulder injuries and serious concerns over Fava's welfare as he was rushed to hospital shortly after 10pm. The dastardly New Zealand won gold, the even more dastardly England took silver and the heavenly Fiji won bronze after beating Australia 24-17 in a playoff.
Fava's incident was frightening. An innocuous shove from a Fijian player made him thump his head into the turf. The giant screen was blanked out as more than a dozen medicos rushed to his side. You could hear a pin drop. The fits stopped before Fava got to hospital but he remained in a poor state.
"He's ga-ga," Australian coach Glen Ella said. "He doesn't know where he is. He was having some sort of fit out there. I've been coming to these tournaments for a long time and haven't seen anyone carted off like that. He got palmed off and hit his head backwards so there was nothing malicious from the Fijians. It's a sad end for us."
An hour after fulltime, Ella added: "The doctors have said he's stabilised but we still don't know any more."
Queensland fullback Chris Latham is out of the Super 14s for up to six weeks after suffering rib cartilage damage on Thursday night against England. He attempted to take on South Africa yesterday morning but failed to finish the first half. X-rays revealed he had been playing with two broken ribs for most of the season. Matt Giteau has a troublesome knee and Nick Reilly was nursing a bad shoulder. Who said sevens was glorified touch footy?
Australia's decision to fly Wallaby superstars Lote Tuqiri, Latham and Giteau into Melbourne for the tournament was highly controversial, prompting accusations from rival nations about trying to buy the gold medal. Ella suggested they could tell their story walking, but it's a moot point now anyway. The Kiwis barrelled past Australia 21-19 and downed England 29-21 in the final for their third straight gold.
Tuqiri's efforts were studded with brilliance. In the semis, he got the ball with three New Zealand defenders in his way. Three New Zealand defenders were promptly tossed aside in the manner of rag dolls. Tuqiri ran 20-odd metres to score and Australia was in the hunt. The rabid supporters rose from their seats. Alas, that was as good as it got.
Australia trailed New Zealand 7-5 after the Jonah Lomu-like charge from Tuqiri. He didn't run around his markers, but straight over the top of them. Missing Latham's attacking spark, Australia couldn't get over the line again until it was too late at 21-5 down. They got within two points of Fiji in the match for bronze. Close, but no cigar.

Federal Prison Sentences Handed Down for Austin Area Heroin Dealers
APR 15 --United States Attorney Johnny Sutton announced that 34-year-old Arnold Lopez and 21-year-old Richard Federmann were sentenced to 35 years and 47 years in federal prison, respectively, for their roles in the death of 17-year-old Tracey Leigh Crossett.
By his guilty plea, Federmann admitted that he began providing heroin on a regular basis to Ms. Crossett in June 2003. In December 2003, Ms. Crossett completed a 32-day in-patient substance abuse rehabilitation program and subsequently attended support group meetings along with her parents. On April 7, 2004, Ms. Crossett and Federmann attended the same support group meeting. Three days later, Federmann purchased heroin from Arnold Lopez, something that Federmann had purportedly done almost on a daily basis from January 2004 through June 2, 2004. Federmann gave a portion of the heroin he purchased from Lopez to Ms. Crossett. On April 11, 2004, Ms. Crossett's father found her lying unresponsive on the bathroom floor. An autopsy determined that Ms. Crossett
died as a result of a heroin overdose. Both defendants pled guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin.
"Today's message is simple: selling illegal drugs will land you in federal prison. If someone dies from the drugs you sold them, you will be going away for a long, long time," stated U.S. Attorney Sutton.
In addition to the prison terms, United States District Judge Lee Yeakel ordered that Lopez and Federmann each pay a $10,000 fine and be placed under supervised release for a period of 12 years after completing their prison terms.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Austin Police Department and the Lakeway Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Sharon Pierce prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
