"Super" is the third regular-guy-decides-to-become-a-super-hero dark comedy of the last 18 months, following in the footsteps of "Defendor" and "Kick-Ass." If only the film had the same courage of its convictions as its hero, The Crimson Bolt.
Frank (Rainn Wilson) is a short order cook in a crappy diner who's enjoyed only two perfect moments in his life: his wedding to Sarah (Liv Tyler) and the time he helped a cop catch a crook. But when Sarah starts doing drugs again, ultimately leaving Frank for her dealer, Jacques (Kevin Bacon), Frank is distraught.
Inspired by a Christian TV superhero called The Holy Avenger (Nathan Fillion) and a vision from God, Frank decides to become the Crimson Bolt, a man in a red cowl and suit armed only with a pipe wrench, and sets out to rid Detroit of crime and win back his wife. Along the way he is helped by Libby (Ellen Page), a comic-book store employee who eventually insists on forging her own super-hero identity, Boltie, and be Frank's sidekick.
U.S. & World
James Gunn, the film's writer and director, made his bones working for Troma Films, the folks responsible for such classics as "The Toxic Avenger," and his pedigree comes through loud and clear. No moment can be too bloody or too violent for Gunn's taste. He's clearly going for laughs with his buckets of blood and flying chunks of flesh, but he presents it all with a wink, as if he wants you to know that he knows it's a joke—he's overly self-aware to the point of rendering much of it unfunny.
Maybe Gunn should take up video direction, because the moments of the film that work best are the music montages, especially the title sequence, an animated dance routine set to "Calling All Destroyers" by the now defunct LA power pop band Tsar (full disclosure: their old friends).
Rainn Wilson is indelibly stamped, unfairly or not, in the public consciousness, as Dwight on "The Office," and it's too bad, as he's shown in the past that he can do more. But his Frank is so drab and monotonous that it fails to draw you in. How are you supposed to root for a hero who won't root for himself? It's not until the final showdown with "Jock," when he lets the spittle fly--"YOU DON'T KEY CARS!"--that he shows some life.
The film would've benefited greatly if there's been more focus on "Jock," as Frank refers to him, and if Libby/Boltie had shown up about 20 minutes sooner, as both Bacon and Page are clearly having a blast. Bacon brings a slithery charm and a righteous indignation to his drug-dealing lover of scrambled eggs. Page meanwhile, is spazzing out most every minute she's on screen, and as she did on "Saturday Night Live," has great deal of fun tweaking speculation about her own real-life sexuality.
"Super" has its moments, but there too few and far between to make it as much fun as the team behind it had hoped.

Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including over-the-counter medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen as well as prescription products, help to decrease inflammation, joint pain and stiffness. Aspirin can help reduce pain, swelling and stiffness.
Prescription and nonprescription NSAIDs are effective for many people with psoriatic arthritis in controlling swelling, pain and morning stiffness, and in improving range of motion to joints. They can help reduce the limitations to daily activities often caused by arthritis. A partial list includes:
- Clinoril (sulindac)
- Daypro (oxaprozin)
- Feldene (piroxicam)
- Indocin (indomethacin)
- Lodine (etodolac)
- Meclomen (meclofenamate)
- Mobic (meloxicam)
- Motrin, Advil (ibuprofen)
- Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn (naproxen sodium)
- Orudis (ketoprofen)
- Relafen (nabumetone)
- Tolectin (tolmetin sodium)
- Voltaren, Arthrotec (diclofenac)
Which NSAID you use is a decision to be made between you and your doctor. Ask for a discussion of side effects. NSAIDs and aspirin generally do not significantly alter psoriasis skin lesions. NSAIDs or aspirin can be sufficient treatment for many people over time. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may be added for pain relief; however, Tylenol does not relieve inflammation. A doctor considers stronger medications when NSAIDs and aspirin fail to work and progression of the disease is evident.
COX-2 inhibitors
Some NSAIDs, when taken in high doses or over long periods of time, carry a risk of causing stomach problems, including ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. The risk depends on the strength of the NSAID and how long it is taken. Many people with psoriatic arthritis do not have problems with NSAID side effects.
NSAIDs called COX-2 inhibitors have proven to be less problematic for the stomach than other NSAIDs. The COX-2 inhibitor Celebrex has been approved for treating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
COX-2 inhibitors are not necessarily more effective at relieving pain and inflammation than regular NSAIDs. They are more expensive and have their own risks. People with psoriatic arthritis who are interested in trying a COX-2 inhibitor should talk to their doctor.
In spring 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new label requirements for both prescription and non-prescription NSAIDS, including Celebrex. In 2004, Vioxx was voluntarily removed from the market by its manufacturer, following concerns about its risk-versus-benefit profile. Bextra, another COX-2, was also voluntarily removed.

Why not get catapulted into a fun-packed weekend break with the family at the Celtic Ale Festival at Bluestone National Park Resort in Pembrokeshire, West Wales between 11th and 12th May.
For the second year running, the free to enter Celtic Ale Festival combines some great medieval fun and adventures with great Welsh ales, ciders and beverages – making a perfect weekend.
The Tournament Field will come alive with The Collegiate of the Knights Templars demonstrating interactive combat displays, falconry displays and live entertainment – as well as their very own Knight's School for those who dare.
They will be joined by Knights of Arkley, demonstrating the art of jousting.
Then there are taster sessions in trebuchet, clay shooting, long bow, catapult, cross bow and other medieval activities to challenge visitors of all ages over two days of fun.
For those who want to try something different, Bluestone will also have on hand demonstrations on blacksmithing, wood turning and pottery.
"Last year's Celtic Ale Festival was a great success and we wanted to build on that and have introduced some new aspects and arrangements that will make it an even greater two-day medieval experience," said Yvonne Buckingham, Head of Marketing at Bluestone.
"There literally is something for everyone. From the fun-packed activities to the selection of Welsh ales, ciders and beverages, including a hog roast."

text: The Velvelettes had three small chart hits for Motown in the mid-'60s, including "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'," revived with great success in Britain by Bananarama in the early '80s, and "Needle in a Haystack," which almost made the pop Top 40. Very much in the Motown girl-group mold shared by the Marvelettes, Martha & the Vandellas, and the Supremes, they never broke out as those other groups did. In part, this was because they didn't carve as identifiable a sound as any of those other acts had, and in part it was because the group's personnel changed rapidly before they disbanded around 1970. The Velvelettes were formed by Bertha Barbee at Western Michigan University in the early '60s, with Cal Gill ending up as the lead singer, although she was only 14 years old when she joined. With encouragement from one of Berry Gordy's nephews, they auditioned for Motown and released their first single on the label in 1963. Several of Motown's biggest guns wrote and produced for the group between 1963 and 1967, including Norman Whitfield, Mickey Stevenson, and Sylvia Moy, although one original member (Betty Kelly) left to join Martha & the Vandellas for several years in 1964. However, the Velvelettes only did about a half-dozen singles for Motown in the '60s, and although an album was scheduled for release, it never came out. Cal Gill brought in two new singers to keep the group going at the end of 1967, but they broke up shortly afterwards. A reformed version of the Velvelettes began playing in 1984, and a compilation of their '60s Motown material finally came out on CD in 1999. ~ Richie Unterberger

Dundee Montessori has a huge writing curriculum with many enticing exercises for children to love!
Here children sound out the label, match it to the object and then make a list of words. These children have not been to kindergarten yet and already do this beautifully.
Tiny objects are in bottles so they don't get lost and are sorted by initial sound and then drawn.
I Spy With My Little Eye game is done with a tube held to the eye and initial sounds are matched to objects.
Color object matching and a Japanese language page is added.

After my last go at glitter tips, I decided to buy some of those PVC stencil things (off ebay) and try doing it properly. This is the result! The base is funkey dunkey (two coats) with two coats of mad as a hatter and two coats of lumos, to try and smooth out the gritty tide mark where the glitter met the creme. The Alice glitters are my absolute favourites - Burlesque really didn't tickle my pickle in comparison - and I'm terrified of using them up, so I like the fact that I can wear them as tips and not waste them quite so much (since both seem to chip on me when worn as full manis, meaning I usually only get two or three days' wear).
Funkey dunkey is a great 'Cadbury' purple. I just love mad as a hatter - the glitter is so bright and cheerful. Interestingly, I see the purple most in the bottle (it lives with my purple polishes) but wearing it over purple seems to bring the silver out more. I had a hell of a time doing this mani, though. I left the base for a couple of hours before stenciling. I don't know if the base wasn't thoroughly dry, or if the stencils are just vicious, because removing them pulled huge chunks of purple off on about 50% of the nails. Fortunately it's a thick cream so I touched up the bare patches in two coats and was able to cover the join marks with top coat, but it was a total PITA. So next time I will sleep on the base coat and be careful not to stick the stencils too hard.

You'll find this dish in trattorias all over Rome during the spring. The long, slow cooking causes the vegetables to lose their bright color, but the sweet flavor of the stew makes up for its rather bland appearance.
Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 1 3/4 hr
- Yield
- Makes 4 main-course servings
- 2 cups shelled fresh fava beans (2 1/2 lb in pods) or shelled edamame (fresh soybeans)
- 2 lemons, halved
- 4 large artichokes (3/4 lb each)
- 2 oz guanciale (smoked pork jowl)* or pancetta, cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks (1/2 cup)
- 2 cups thinly sliced onion
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peas (not thawed)
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- Prepare fava beans:
- Blanch beans in a 2-quart pot of boiling water 1 minute, then drain in a sieve and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Gently peel off skins (it's not necessary to peel edamame, if using).
- Prepare artichokes:
- Fill a large bowl with 4 cups cold water and squeeze juice from 2 lemon halves into bowl.
- Cut off stem of 1 artichoke and reserve. Cut off top inch of artichoke with a serrated knife. Bend back outer leaves until they snap off close to base, then discard several more layers of leaves in same manner until you reach pale yellow leaves with pale green tips.
- Cut remaining leaves flush with top of artichoke bottom using a paring knife, then quarter bottom. Cut out fuzzy choke and purple leaves with paring knife. Trim dark green fibrous parts from base and side of artichoke, then rub cut surfaces with a remaining lemon half and put artichoke bottom in bowl of acidulated water.
- Trim 1/4 inch from end of reserved stem to expose inner core, then trim sides of stem down to pale inner core (don't worry if remaining stem is very thin). Rub cut surfaces with lemon half and put in bowl of acidulated water. Trim remaining artichokes, including stems, in same manner.
- Prepare stew:
- Drain artichokes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, including stems. Cook guanciale and onion in oil in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 6 minutes. Add sliced artichokes, fava beans, and remaining ingredients and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes.
Cooks' notes:
• Stew can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Stew will thicken slightly; add water to thin to desired consistency. • Be aware that fava beans can cause a potentially fatal food intolerance in some people of Mediterranean, African, and Pacific Rim descent. *Available at Salumeria Biellese (212-736-7376).

From Obama's State of the Union address (paraphrased):
In order to face the jobs of America's future, we must job all the jobs in order to job more jobs. In short: jobs.
And from Mitch Daniels' rebuttal:
The President's jobs are not jobly enough. We need to jobs the jobs using a combination of jobs and jobs, but especially jobs.
As you can see, last night had a theme. But for all of the emphasis on job creation, neither speaker (I'm not counting Herman Cain here, for reasons that should be self-evident) devoted a whole lot of time to talking about what kind of jobs. When you're measuring success by a generic "job" metric, 50,000 new jobs at McDonald's counts for about as much as a salaried position with benefits. If all that matters is whether the manufacturing sector added jobs, the fact that those jobs are worth less and less money is no big deal.
It goes on. Working 50-hour weeks when you're only getting paid for 40? Can't join a union? Nowhere to go and nothing to do when the boss violates your contract and abuses his authority? At least you have a job! Be grateful, and give your leaders credit for helping you out like that.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what counts as populism in modern electoral politics. Guess Occupy can pack it up and toast to a job well done.

Phenomenology of consciousness in Adi Samkara and Edmund Husserl
Surya Kanta Maharana
The philosophical investigation of consciousness has a long-standing history in both Indian and Western thought. The conceptual models and analyses that have emerged in one cultural framework may be profitably reviewed in the light of another. In this context, a study of the notion of consciousness in the transcendental phenomenology of Edmund Husserl is not only important as a focus on a remarkable achievement in the context of Western thought, but is also useful for an appreciation of the concern with this question in the Indian philosophical tradition, and especially in the tradition of Advaita Vedänta of Adi Samkara. The starting point for this paper is the belief that phenomenology has a recognizably common face for both these traditions.
This paper investigates the possibility of a parallel notion of consciousness in the transcendental phenomenology of Husserl and the Advaita Vedänta of Samkara, with particular emphasis on Husserl's 'Transcendental I' and Samkara's 'Witness Consciousness' (Sakshi Caitanya). In the process, it explores the phenomenological relevance of the concept of consciousness in Indian philosophy, with special reference to the concept of pure consciousness as one of the essential criteria for any sound theory of knowledge. It more importantly highlights the Advaitic understanding ofpure consciousness as one of the major contributions to the field of comparative philosophy that forms a vantage point for cross-cultural comparison. While pointing to significant differences in their respective approaches to understanding the nature of consciousness, the exploration finally unveils the common thesis for both Samkara and Husserl that 'pure consciousness' is essentially foundational, evidencing and absolute for any epistemic act.

JONAH Center Being Sued for False Claims on Reversing Homosexuality
JONAH Center Being Sued for False Claims on Reversing Homosexuality
JONAH, a Jewish center in New Jersey that offers therapy to reverse homosexuality, is being sued for allegedly making fraudulent claims.
Four gay men and two of their mothers filed the suit Tuesday in New Jersey Superior Court against Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality, which offers treatments that the group says can turn its clients straight. Some of the treatments include using rabbinic writings on the subject of homosexuality.
The lawsuit, which was filed through the Southern Poverty Law Center, maintains that the center uses misleading pretenses to entice clients to enroll in its program. The plaintiffs are previous clients of JONAH.
"JONAH profits off of shameful and dangerous attempts to fix something that isn't broken," said Christine Sun of the Southern Poverty Law Center. "Despite the consensus of mainstream professional organizations that conversion therapy doesn't work, this racket continues to scam vulnerable gay men and lesbians out of thousands of dollars and inflicts significant harm on them."

Our senate is so corrupt its members don't want their name connected with the sordid "tax deals" they have made in the past. It can't be because they would be embarrassed or ashamed. They are incapable of such. They are afraid that we, their voting constituents, might find out just who the corrupt SOBs are and vote them out.
Many congressmen are so intoxicated on the power that comes with the IRS and the tax code the congress doesn't govern effectively.
This couldn't happen if the FairTax Act were adopted. This proposed tax legislation has been before congress for over 10 years but never even considered. With the FairTax there are NO LOOP HOLES; absolutely no opportunity for "crooked deals" by elected congressmen. Its passage would annihilate the IRS too.
Educate yourself about the FairTax. Contact your congressman; demand its passage.
The corrupt congress is bringing our nation to ruin.

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — A Maryland School for the Deaf official says a former aide charged with molesting seven students from 2008 to 2011 raised suspicion when supervisors learned he had sent text messages to some of the girls.
The evidence surfaced in June 2011, nearly 18 months before one of the girls told a staff member she had been molested by Clarence Taylor III.
The principal of the school's Columbia campus testified Thursday at the trial in Ellicott City. She said the first texting episode prompted a written warning to Taylor not to text female students. Then another girl's mother provided evidence of him texting her daughter, she said.
Prosecutors rested their case Thursday. Taylor must decide on Friday whether to testify.

Alcatraz, the former federal island prison that once held the likes of gangster Al Capone, offers national park visitors a close-up look at a maximum-security, minimum-privilege life.
The island, once an 1850s military fort, is the site of the West Coast's first lighthouse (since replaced by the current lighthouse) and the birthplace of the Native American "Red Power" movement (sparked by an occupation of Alcatraz from 1969-1971). Gardens, tidepools, nesting birds, and stunning bay views are also among its many attractions.
Plan Your Visit
- Transportation to Alcatraz is via ferryboats departing from Pier 33. The ferry trip lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Once on the island, you may take any available ferry back to San Francisco; during the day ferries depart the island approximately every 30 minutes. Schedules are posted throughout Alcatraz.
- A round-trip visit typically takes between two and three hours. Reservations are essential, especially in the summer; tickets can be purchased in advance by phone at (415) 981-7625 and online at www.alcatrazcruises.com with a major credit card. Alcatraz is open daily except for Christmas and New Year's Day.
- In addition to the cellhouse audio tour, Alcatraz provides staff-led programs, an orientation video, and an award-winning video exhibit, We Hold the Rock, which examines the island's occupation by "Indians of All Tribes."
- Wear warm clothing and comfortable walking shoes.
- Be prepared for steep climbs and uneven walking surfaces; the roadway from the dock area to the cellhouse is a 12 percent grade. An accessibility tram is available for those unable to navigate this incline.
- Take the time to walk around the island! Alcatraz features some of the bay's best vista points, with views of mountains, bridges, ships, and skylines. The most spectacular views can be seen from the Agave Trail (open October through February, when the birds are not nesting), the parade ground, and the lighthouse plaza.
- In the barracks building just above the Alcatraz dock, visitors can browse exhibits, see a video presentation and buy maps, guides, cards, and books about Alcatraz. There is a bookstore and exhibit at the dock level, as well as a "museum store" in the former kitchen food preparation area of the cellhouse.
Alcatraz was the home of the West Coast's first lighthouse. Equipped with a simple oil lamp, the Alcatraz light began guiding ships in 1854. In 1909, when construction of the cell house threatened to block the light, the old lighthouse was replaced with the iconic 84-foot tower seen today. The tower's automated rotating light continues to be a key navigational aid.
Fortress Alcatraz
The oldest extant structure on the island, the sally port, dates to the 1850s when Alcatraz was fortified by the US Army. At the dock, look for Building 64, Fortress Alcatraz's original barracks building. Other relics of the island's military past include a parade ground, the ruins of officers' cottages, and the first floor of the original military citadel (an inaccessible maze under the cellhouse).
The Cellhouse
During Prohibition and the Great Depression, the federal government developed a new type of prison for the most incorrigible troublemakers. The maximum-security, minimum-privilege Alcatraz facility was specially designed for inmates so troublesome that other federal prisons couldn't handle them. During its 29 years of operation, more than 1,500 convicts were incarcerated here. The expense of operating and maintaining such an isolated facility brought about the prison's closure in 1963.
Learn more about the prison's history through the self-guiding audio tour, which features the voices of inmates and correctional officers (and their families) who lived and worked on Alcatraz.
Native American Occupation
While Alcatraz stood empty and the federal government debated its fate, a boatload of 89 Native Americans claimed the island as "Indian land." Frustrated by lack of support and personal tragedies, and confronted by US Marshals, the last of the occupiers left Alcatraz in 1971. While the occupation was short-lived, its ramifications were not: Native American pride surged and the US government abandoned its attempts to eliminate the Native American reservation system.
The Gardens of Alcatraz
Military and prison personnel transformed portions of Alcatraz from barren sandstone rock to gardens of lush leaves and colorful blossoms. Once the prison closed in 1963, the neglected gardens became overgrown and wild. Today, through the efforts of dedicated volunteers, the Garden Conservancy is partnering with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy to bring the gardens back to life! Visitors can now see a host of unique plant varieties no longer commercially available. For more on the gardens, visit www.alcatrazgardens.org.
A National Park
In 1972, Alcatraz was added to the newly created Golden Gate National Parks and was opened to the public in 1973.
Find your passion through the many events available at the park.

The 5th Annual Noor Iranian Film Festival (NIFF) —an international event that educates the non-Iranian community about the culture and heritage of Iranians through the medium of cinema—announces its 2012 line-up of 26 competition films. Each film features a theme about Iran and/or Iranian talent—either in front of or behind the camera. The festival kicks-off on Friday, August 3, 2012, at the Laemmle Music Hall (9036 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California) and wraps with a red carpet Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, August 8th at 7:00 p.m. at the Skirball Cultural Center's Magnin Auditorium. The 2012 event is presented by festival co-founder, director and producer Siamak Ghahremani and sponsored by KPFK-FM, Ritmo Mundo Watches and Emirates Airlines.
Ghahremani says, "This is a landmark year for us, being the festival's fifth anniversary. We were thrilled to hold our 5th Annual Noor Iranian Film Festival in Los Angeles in order to bridge the gap between Iranian and non-Iranian communities. With the success of recent movies such as "A Separation" and "Circumstance," more than ever, Iranian films and filmmakers are receiving more recognition and attention. Being the only platform of it's kind in the U.S., this festival captures that excitement."
A special screening of "A Separation," directed by Asghar Farhadi, and the first Iranian film to win the Oscar®for Best Foreign Film, will take place on Tuesday, August 7th at 8:30 p.m. as the Closing Night film.
Competition films on the 2012 slate include: "The Iran Job," "Bedrooms," "Bitter Milk" and "Love Crimes of Kabul." A full list of the films and screening times can be found online.
Iranian film has risen to the international spotlight in recent years due to emerging politics and independent Iranian films that have earned accolades—often resulting in the filmmakers going into exile to escape the governmental regime.
This year's jury includes: actor Tony Plana ("Ugly Betty," "An Officer and a Gentleman"); one of Iran's most legendary actors, Behrouz Vossoughi; Award winning Iranian-American writer & journalist Homa Sarshar,actor Navid Negahban ("Homeland," "The Stoning of Soraya M") and Emmy® Award winning actorKristoff St. John ("The Young and the Restless").
A highlight of the 4th Annual event was the 2011 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award-winning film,"Circumstance," by director Maryam Keshavarz, which won three NIFF trophies: the Audience Award, Best Director and Best Actress for newcomer Nikohl Boosheri.
Last year's festival featured Iranian-American producer Bob Yari ("Crash," "The Illusionist," "Painted Veil")as the recipient of the 2011 Noor Film Festival Achievement Award. Late renowned television director and Iranian-born Reza Badiyi ("The Incredible Hulk," "Starsky and Hutch," "Mission Impossible," "Baywatch") received the festival's first Achievement Award in 2009.
Past jury members include prominent industry VIPs: Frances Fisher,Rainn Wilson, Brooke Adams, Esai Morales, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Reza Badiyi, Bai Ling, Omid Djalili, Ever Carradine, Natasha Henstridge, Maz Jobrani, Corey Feldman, Max Martini, Kami Asgar, Harry J. Lennox, Shaun Toub,Kyle Secor, Habib Zargarpour, to name just a few.
The festival's board of advisors includes comedian and actor Maz Jobrani ("The interpreter", "Friday after Next"), actor Shaun Toub ("Iron Man," "Kite Runner," "Crash"), actor/writer/filmmaker David Diaan ("Stoning of Soraya M."), producer Roxana Rastegar, television host/producer/actress Parisa Defaie, and Community activist Alaleh Kamran.
The NIFF Jury judges for the eight categories, including Audience Favorite, Best Shorts Director, Best Story/Idea, Best Documentary Director, Best Documentary, Best Feature, Best Feature Director and Best Short Film.
About NIFF
In 2005, Iranian-born Siamak Ghahremani co-founded the Noor Iranian Film Festival (with actor Anthony Azizi), and the inaugural international event occurred in 2007. Two years of planning and orchestration were required due to this being the first competition Iranian Film Festival outside of Iran, as well as the first Iranian-American Red Carpet event. Ghahremani's mission for the festival is to educate the non-Iranian community about the culture and heritage of Iranians around the world through the medium of cinema. Not without challenges, the festival supports filmmakers whose voice cannot be heard inside of Iran. Due to the political uprising in Iran in 2010, and out of respect for the people in Iran, the festival decided to postpone its 4th festival to 2011. For five days, the NIFF hosts premieres, networking events, and panel discussions, culminating in the closing night Awards Ceremony held at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California. The 5th annual event, taking place from August 3 - 8, 2012, is also dedicated to cultivating and promoting Iranian-American talent in Hollywood. Screenings are held at the Laemmle Music Hall (9036 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California).

Two Songs of Solomon
By Marsh Chapel
Song of Solomon 2, 8, in passim
There are two Songs of Solomon. One of the heart and one of the soul.
There are two Songs of Solomon. One of the flesh and one of the spirit.
There are two Songs of Solomon. One of earth and one of heaven.
There are two Songs of Solomon. One of human love and one of love divine.
There are two Songs of Solomon. Hear the Gospel: Both are blessed!
Three things are too wonderful for me. Four I cannot understand. The way of a ship on the high sea. The way of the eagle in the sky. The way of the serpent on the rock. The way of a man and a woman.
Faneuil Hall
In December our granddaughter, our daughter, Jan and I rode the T to Haymarket Square. Our beloved's beloved baby gurgled past Boylston and Park. The Christmas lights glistened out from a soft Nevada. You could see your breath. Jan had seen advertised a free reading of love letters, from Abigail Adams to John Adams, and from John Adams to Abigail Adams, and offered in historic Faneuil Hall, and read by three couples named Patrick, Dukakis, and Kennedy.
There are kairos moments. Whether or not your earnest study of Oscar Cullman and Luke and Galatians convinces you, life will teach you. When Mrs. Duval read Abigail's letter following Bunker Hill, to a distant John in Washington, full of terror and wonder at whether she would live the week, the air went out of the room. When Governor Dukakis read later John's angry criticism of the laziness of the congress, and paused midsentence to look meaningfully at Senator Kennedy, no words were needed to bring the house to robust laughter. When Kitty Dukakis read slowly the long, love sentences, ripe and revealing, from wife to husband, from dearest friend to dearest friend, you wondered truly whether you could breathe again. When we heard the horrific sorrow of Abigail's mother's death, read out by Mrs. Kennedy, only a stone would not have cried. And I wonder about the stone. Every seat was full. As every heart. See how they loved each other!
Listen, for just a moment, Abigail to John:
That your Sex are Naturally Tyrannical is a Truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute, but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up the harsh title of Master for the more tender and endearing on of Friend (MDF, 110).
Listen for just a moment, John to Abigail:
It is a fortnight to day Since I had Letter from you but it Seems to me a month. I cannot blame you for one of yours is worth four of mine. (MDF, 370)
I say to our theology students: live in Boston. When your three years have passed, may you have spent 2 days in Boston for every 1 at Boston University, 2 hours in the Copley Square library for every 1 at the School of Theology, 2 mornings in the Public Garden for every 1 at the GSU, 2 nights with the Celtics and Red Sox for every 1 watching TV in the apartment, 2 meals in the North End for every 1 in the Back Bay, 2 winter afternoons walking on Commonwealth for every 1in the FitRec, 2 desserts on Newbury street for every 1 at home.
If I never have another such kairotic moment in Boston, this one evening will have been enough. To whomever arranged such a rhetorical explosion, I offer belated thanksgiving. There is such power, such a searing power, in public reading, in public reading of hallowed words, of public reading of hallowed words fitly spoken. You pick up and read, and read aloud, My Dearest Friend, and judge for yourself. It brings to mind a little remembered verse from a maverick book in the Bible, which itself is a testament of freedom.
Love is as strong as death.
That sentence appears in the Song of Solomon. But there are really two songs of Solomon, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Both are blessed.
One Solomon song sings of human love. And how it sings! So loud it sings and so dearly and strong that the sages in Jamnia nearly excluded it from the canon!
You will have your choicest choices. Here are two:
Arise my love, my fair one,
And come away;
For lo the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
(Song of Songs 2: 10-12)
Behold you are beautiful, my love
Behold you are beautiful!
Your eyes are doves
Behind your veil
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
Moving down the slopes of Gilead.
Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes.
Your lips are like a scarlet thread
Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate…
You are all fair my love;
There is no flaw in you.
(Song of Songs 4: 1-8)
Collected in the Canticles are love poems, erotic poems, poems of praise for human love. One of our members asked a year ago whether any sermons are ever preached on the Song. The implication was there that the verses are simply too hot to handle! Last week another member related that in childhood, advised to read the Bible, she had stumbled into these verses. I believe she said, Wow!
Saddled with other challenges for a few decades, the historic church may have lost of some of our voice about love, human love, sexuality, human sexuality, and the ardent themes of the Song of Songs, the meta-song of the Hebrew Scripture. While our own straitened conditions in the church, and our inwardly turned attention to the details of liturgy may constrain us, all about us the culture calls out for the good news of these chapters. It is still the same old story.
The stories of Alistair Macleod, Canadian celebrant of life, are ever reaching for the misty and mystic heights of the Song of Solomon. Macleod, with the exception of one passing humorous reference to an inept clergyman, in none of his published material makes any reference to God, Christ, Spirit, Religion, Church, Faith, Belief or Bible. Like the Song of Solomon, he never mentions God. Yet his work to my ear proffers some of the strongest theological reflection of our time. Island, his stories, and No Great Mischief, his novel, teem with love. He compares one Cape Breton couple to eagles, who mate for life, and soar to the heights.
The verses of this book may have arisen as wedding songs. They celebrate love leading toward marriage and love established in marriage, without a great deal of distinction between the two. They acknowledge the power of love. They drape their music in the imagery of the natural world. They shout for joy for the joyful shout of love, human love. As a pastor, father, friend, now minister to a University community, I might have wished a little more didactic material had found its way into the Canticle. A little admonition about commitment. A little recognition of selfishness. A little sober admission of imperfection. A little paternal warning about regret and regrets. Well, we shall have to find these in other pages of the Scripture, for these songs are flying to other places. They reflect the human experience of the ages. They delight in delight. They delight in delight!
Yes, I could interpret and amend these passages to make sure that we include partnership and friendship as well as covenant and marriage. Yes, we could dwell for a moment on the difference between the literature here and that in the rest of the Bible: 'there is no overt religious content corresponding to the other books of the Bible' (IBD op cit). Yes, I could remember the sectarian Jewish warning that the book should only be opened and read after age thirty. Yes, I could reflect on what emptiness of the soul does, on this weekend following the further campus tragedy at Northern Illinois. Yes, I could present to the contrary, T Wolfe's sad narrative, I Am Charlotte Simmons. For those teaching and learning in a large historically Methodist University it bears reading. We use when we should love and vice versa. Thus, though, I would miss the point. The Song of Solomon sings of blessing!
Human love is blessed.
But there are two Songs of Solomon, one of heart and one of soul, one of flesh and one of spirit, one of earth and one of heaven, one of human love and one of love divine.
Another Solomon song sings of love divine.
The allegorical, cultic, dramatic and other non-literal readings of the Song of Solomon have less influence today. In any case, they fall fairly quickly in the face of the ardent, strong sensuality of
the collection. The rabbis early allegorized the Song to refer to Yahweh and Israel. The church early followed suit, and allegorized the Song to refer to Christ and the Church, or to God and the soul. Hosea had already used the allegory, in his beautiful chapters, the 11th being perhaps the loveliest in Scripture. But he done so forthrightly, intending and intoning the allegory directly. 'When Israel was a child I loved him.' As a reading of the text, it must be said today, that the allegory superimposes something not apparent or present.
What is dethroned from Scripture, however, experience re-crowns. It is not without wisdom that this bit of wisdom literature has been taken to refer, in a Lenten fashion, to the love of the soul for God, to the love of God for the soul, to the love the church for Christ, to the love of Christ for the church. After all, how are we ever going to picture, to propose the relationship of the human being to God?
Here is today's gospel message:
What can prepare us for intimacy with the divine, if not human intimacy?
What can prepare us for covenant with the divine, if not human covenant?
What can prepare us for fellowship with the divine, if not human fellowship?
What can prepare us for love of the divine, if not human love?
Where else are we going to learn the rhythms of relationship that prepare a community and its individuals, an individual and his communities, for ultimate relationship?
No wonder Plato wrote so tenderly and toughly about friendship. No wonder John the Evangelist epitomized discipleship in the portrait of one 'beloved'. No wonder Bernard of Clairvaux wrote 86 sermons on the Song of Songs and never got past the second chapter! No wonder that John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila took Italian love poetry and formed their religious poetry on their models. No wonder that even today there is a returning interest in 'nuptial mysticism', a recognition that love, friendship, partnership, marriage shape a soulful habit of living. It is in the relationship of lover and beloved that we plumb the depths of experience.
In relationship, we are addressed, truly, from beyond ourselves. We are forced, in real relationship, daily, to face our limitations. We are, in relationship, known, personally, underneath the public masks. We are tested, interpersonally, regarding our patience, stamina, endurance, perseverance, longsuffering and grace under pressure. We are surprised by joy. Joy in love. Joy in creation. Joy in communion. Joy in devotion. Morning and evening, we are surprised by joy. Even C. S. Lewis, no non-traditionalist he, could find the epitome of his orthodoxy in an astounding marriage and friendship and love with Joy.
My friend and student Joshua Duncan, relying on our colleague Phil Wogaman, helped me research this sermon:
Bernard preached dozens of sermons and wrote volumes on the song.
There is an entire sermon just on "He kissed me with the kisses of his mouth", so it is hard to synthesize. I hope this will suffice.
Bernard used the Song to form an ethic based on love. Love, he felt, allowed people to transform from our natural, fallen and selfish state, to more holy state. This happens in stages. First, love is for self, and love of God in the first stage is for the sake of one's self. But, this is not an improper love, because it allows for movement to stage two. This happens when we realize our own limitations, and desire to transcend them. Stage two is love of God for what he gives us (namely, grace). Once we move beyond our limitations (Bernard is a mystic), we are able to enter stage three, love of God for God's own sake, even to the extent of forgetting ourselves. In stage four, we love ourselves once again, but it is an emptied out version of ourselves (did someone say mysticism?). The love of ourselves in stage four is entirely unselfish, because it is a love of ourselves purely for the sake of God.
In the mountains northwest of Madrid, you will find nestled the little old Castilian village of Segovia. I spent only a year there. I walked its cobbled streets during the evening paseo. I was befriended by its teenagers. Adios Roberto. Adios Marie Carmen. Adios Celia. Adios Eduardo. I gazed out at the mountain range that had inspired Hemingway. I ate the baked lamb and drank the red wine of that region. I admired its aqueduct. I photographed its castle. I learned the language, the humor, the humors, the history, the heart, the soul of a noble people. I walked in the dark late night rain and greeted the town crier and constable: 'Adios'. Someday I hope to return. I find that Segovia appears with more regularity in my dreams now than it has for thirty years past.
I visited there the resting place of St. John of the Cross. I read and remembered his poetry: en una noche oscura, con ansias en amores inflamadas, o dichosa ventura!, sali sin ser notada, estando ya mi casa sosegada.
Lent may not seem like the right time to read the Song of Songs. Yet it is the perfect time! Our hearts are restless, restless, until they find their rest in the divine, the second song of Solomon. Such a word of longing! Is there anything, any theme more Lenten than that of longing!?!
Set me as a seal upon your heart
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is strong as death,
Jealousy is cruel as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
A most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
All the wealth of his house
It would be utterly scorned.
Human love is blessed—by God.
There are two Songs of Solomon…
In earshot of the two Songs of Solomon, love divine and human both, let me invite you to a better life.
Let me invite you to cherish friendship, and to bathe friendship, like a lover, in the warm baths of time and attention. Let me invite you to honor partnership, and to bathe partnership, like a lover, in the warm baths of time and attention. Let me invite you to enjoy affection, and to bathe affection, like a lover, in warm baths of time and attention. Let me invite you to revere marriage, and to bathe marriage, like a lover, in the warm baths of time and attention.
For such friendship may frame your soul in communion with the divine. Such partnership may prepare your soul for commerce with the divine. Such affection may prepare your psyche for intimacy with the divine. Such marriage may open you…to God.
"Love is strong as death and hard as hell." (SOS 8:6)

Tour continues without injured Cavendish, disqualified Sagan
VITTEL, France (AP) — British rider Mark Cavendish commended the "courage" of Tour de France jurors for disqualifying world champion Peter Sagan for a horrific crash that took both of them out of the race on Tuesday.
Speaking Wednesday, before the Tour set off without him from the spa town of Vittel on Stage 5, Cavendish said his immediate concern after he hit the deck was a profusely bleeding finger on his right hand.
"There was just a puddle of blood on the floor. I thought, 'I'm going to bleed to death here.' But my teammates were around and they helped me to my feet," he said.
The winner of 30 Tour stages in his stellar career was later diagnosed with a broken right shoulder blade and withdrew from the race. Sagan, who appeared to elbow Cavendish before he fell at high speed, stayed on his bike but was disqualified for endangering Cavendish and other riders in the sprint finish at Vittel.
Cavendish said: "It takes a lot of courage ... to eliminate the world champion from the Tour de France."
Cavendish said he bore no hard feelings toward Sagan and that his actions didn't appear malicious. He stressed that they are good friends and said Sagan called him Tuesday evening while he was being examined in hospital.
Sagan's explanation for extending his right elbow into Cavendish's path — as the Briton was speeding up alongside the Slovak, shaving the barriers — was that he was just trying to stay upright.
"He said it was keeping himself balanced, so it was nice to know. He said he didn't know it was me coming up," Cavendish said. "It was the elbow which I said I was confused about. I spoke to Peter about that. Whether or not, it was intentional, it doesn't look great."
Cavendish dismissed suggestions that he was trying to squeeze into a space that was too small.
"I know what kind of gaps I can fit through," he said.
Cavendish praised Sagan for immediately coming to his team bus after the crash to apologize.
"It was an honorable thing to see Peter there at the bus, already come to apologize," he said. "It shows our relationship, shows the man he is and I really appreciate that more than anything."
However, he also commended the jurors for their decision to disqualify Sagan, calling them "among the most experienced jury that I've ever witnessed at the Tour de France."
"It's just sad that we'll both be out of the Tour de France," Cavendish said of Sagan and himself. "We've spoken, we're fine."
The Tour race director, Thierry Gouvenou, told The Associated Press that he supported the jury's disqualification of Sagan. He said Sagan "also was at fault" in a first crash that took down more than a dozen riders in the final stretch Tuesday, before the crash that wiped out Cavendish and others in the finishing sprint.
"Ultimately, there are no attenuating circumstances," Gouvenou said. "I think they made a good choice."
"We all complain about the crashes in the first week of the Tour. It gets to the point where the riders just have to respect each other."
Enrico Poitschke, head sports director for Sagan's Bora-Hansgrohe team, said there would be no appeal of the jury decision.
"In our eyes it's the wrong position," Poitschke said. "It was the wrong decision from the commissaries."

Traditional whole life insurance, also known as ordinary life or straight life, is a type of permanent (cash value) insurance that provides coverage for your entire life. This kind of policy is sometimes described as plain vanilla insurance. You pay a fixed amount, known as a level premium, each payment period (monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually), and a guaranteed death benefit goes to your beneficiary when you die. Your premium amount is guaranteed to remain level for as long as you live, even if the insurance company's costs rise. When you reach old age, your premium will not increase over the amount you paid when you started the policy.
The insurance company calculates level premiums sufficient to pay the cost of your insurance coverage (mortality costs) to the end of your life. In the policy's early years, the level premiums are higher than the mortality costs. The difference between the mortality costs and the level premiums is placed into a cash reserve account known as the cash value. In later years, as mortality costs rise due to your advancing age, your level premiums are lower than the mortality costs, and your policy draws on the cash value to help pay the insurance costs. As the cash value accumulates over the years, the amount of your actual insurance coverage is reduced by an equal amount.
For example, say you buy a $100,000 policy at age 30. Since you have no cash value in the beginning, you are paying for $100,000 of insurance coverage. If you have $10,000 of cash value by age 40, you'll then be paying for $90,000 of coverage. Your cash value will continue to rise, and the amount of insurance coverage will continue to fall.
If you continue to keep up your premium payments, your cash value will eventually grow to an amount equal to your policy's death benefit. In fact, if you happen to live to the policy's maturity date (generally age 95 or 100), the company will pay the accumulated cash value (by then equal to the death benefit) to you. But if you die at any time before you reach the maturity date, your beneficiary receives the full, guaranteed death benefit, no matter what the amount of your cash value at the time of your death.
Your cash value can be used as collateral to obtain policy loans from the insurance company at interest rates stated in the policy contract. This rate is often fixed, typically about 8 percent, or it may vary according to an index. These loans are tax free and will not affect the growth of your cash value. But remember, the cash value is designed to support your policy's death benefit. If you are unable to repay the loan, the proceeds paid to your beneficiary after your death will be reduced by the amount of the loan, plus outstanding interest. The other way to access the cash value of your traditional whole life insurance policy is through a complete or partial surrender (cancellation) of your policy. However, surrender will terminate all or part of your coverage and may have tax consequences.
For policyowners, an additional benefit contained in some life insurance policies is dividends. In order for a policy to pay dividends, it must be a participating policy. Nonparticipating policies pay no dividends. Dividends are not guaranteed, but are paid at the discretion of the insurance company's board of directors, depending on a company's expenses, the performance of its investments, and the amount of death benefit payouts made in a year. The amount you receive is determined by a formula that takes into account the policy series, the size of your policy, your age, and the number of years the policy has been in force.
Policy dividends are free from income tax because they're considered a return of premiums you have paid and can be taken in cash, used to pay some or all of the policy premium, reinvested to gain (taxable) interest, or used to buy paid-up insurance additions to the policy (for which no further premiums are required). You may surrender accumulated paid-up additions in later policy years and use the proceeds to pay the regular policy premiums.
If the time comes when you feel you are unable to continue making premium payments or you feel you have more insurance coverage than you need, but you don't want to surrender or take a loan against the policy, you have a number of alternatives. Based on the size of your cash value account, you could use your cash value to purchase what is known as reduced paid-up insurance, whereby your coverage amount is lowered and no further premiums are required. Or, you could turn the cash value into extended term insurance, which would provide the same level of death benefit you now have, but for a limited period of time.

I feel like my life is going crazy and being turned upside-down...
- I can't believe I'm filling out an application for my first job
- I'm driving into town tomorrow by myself to meet some Rebelutionary gals while trying to figure out the perplexities of knitting... *sighs*
- I'm trying to find out whether or not I'll be going to Africa in November for a month
- I'm also trying to find out if I'll be going to the local community college
- Getting ready to go to the Philippines next year (one of my books that I'm supposed to read before going came in from the library today-yay!!)
- Trying to figure out what to write for the answers on the application for the school
- And trying to trust God in the middle of it all!
Lord, help me to slow down and realize that Your love is the important.
Give me such a relentless passion for You that nothing gets in the way of doing Your will...
Not my selfishness.
Not my bad attitudes.
Not my fears.
Not my doubts.
Not my pride.
Nothing, Lord. Empty my life of me until You are all that's left. 'Till my life is no longer mine, but Yours. My transparency is Your window... Amen
Encouragement anyone??
P.S. I'm sorry I haven't posted about the trip yet. I will soon!

- Cristina Traina: Obama should strengthen child farm labor standards
- She says Labor Dept. rules allow kids to work long hours for little pay on commercial farms
- She says Obama administration scrapped Labor Dept. chief's proposal for tightening rules
- She says Labor Dept. must fix lax standards for kid labor on farmers; OSHA must enforce them
Editor's note: Cristina L.H. Traina is a Public Voices Op Ed fellow and professor at Northwestern University, where she is a scholar of social ethics.
(CNN) -- President Barack Obama should use the breathing space provided by the fiscal-cliff compromise to address some of the issues that he shelved during his last term. One of the most urgent is child farm labor. Perhaps the least protected, underpaid work force in American labor, children are often the go-to workers for farms looking to cut costs.
It's easy to see why. The Department of Labor permits farms to pay employees under 20 as little as $4.25 per hour. (By comparison, the federal minimum wage is $7.25.) And unlike their counterparts in retail and service, child farm laborers can legally work unlimited hours at any hour of day or night.
The numbers are hard to estimate, but between direct hiring, hiring through labor contractors, and off-the-books work beside parents or for cash, perhaps 400,000 children, some as young as 6, weed and harvest for commercial farms. A Human Rights Watch 2010 study shows that children laboring for hire on farms routinely work more than 10 hours per day.
As if this were not bad enough, few labor safety regulations apply. Children 14 and older can work long hours at all but the most dangerous farm jobs without their parents' consent, if they do not miss school. Children 12 and older can too, as long as their parents agree. Unlike teen retail and service workers, agricultural laborers 16 and older are permitted to operate hazardous machinery and to work even during school hours.
In addition, Human Rights Watch reports that child farm laborers are exposed to dangerous pesticides; have inadequate access to water and bathrooms; fall ill from heat stroke; suffer sexual harassment; experience repetitive-motion injuries; rarely receive protective equipment like gloves and boots; and usually earn less than the minimum wage. Sometimes they earn nothing.
Little is being done to guarantee their safety. In 2011 Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis proposed more stringent agricultural labor rules for children under 16, but Obama scrapped them just eight months later.
Adoption of the new rules would be no guarantee of enforcement, however. According to the 2010 Human Rights Watch report, the Department of Labor employees were spread so thin that, despite widespread reports of infractions they found only 36 child labor violations and two child hazardous order violations in agriculture nationwide.
This lack of oversight has dire, sometimes fatal, consequences. Last July, for instance, 15-year-old Curvin Kropf, an employee at a small family farm near Deer Grove, Illinois, died when he fell off the piece of heavy farm equipment he was operating, and it crushed him. According to the Bureau County Republican, he was the fifth child in fewer than two years to die at work on Sauk Valley farms.
If this year follows trends, Curvin will be only one of at least 100 children below the age of 18 killed on American farms, not to mention the 23,000 who will be injured badly enough to require hospital admission. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention statistics, agriculture is one of the most dangerous industries. It is the most dangerous for children, accounting for about half of child worker deaths annually.
The United States has a long tradition of training children in the craft of farming on family farms. At least 500,000 children help to work their families' farms today.
Farm parents, their children, and the American Farm Bureau objected strenuously to the proposed new rules. Although children working on their parents' farms would specifically have been exempted from them, it was partly in response to worries about government interference in families and loss of opportunities for children to learn agricultural skills that the Obama administration shelved them.
Whatever you think of family farms, however, many child agricultural workers don't work for their parents or acquaintances. Despite exposure to all the hazards, these children never learn the craft of farming, nor do most of them have the legal right to the minimum wage. And until the economy stabilizes, the savings farms realize by hiring children makes it likely that even more of them will be subject to the dangers of farm work.
We have a responsibility for their safety. As one of the first acts of his new term, Obama should reopen the child agricultural labor proposal he shelved in spring of 2012. Surely, farm labor standards for children can be strengthened without killing off 4-H or Future Farmers of America.
Second, the Department of Labor must institute age, wage, hour and safety regulations that meet the standards set by retail and service industry rules. Children in agriculture should not be exposed to more risks, longer hours, and lower wages at younger ages than children in other jobs.
Finally, the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration must allocate the funds necessary for meaningful enforcement of child labor violations. Unenforced rules won't protect the nearly million other children who work on farms.
Agriculture is a great American tradition. Let's make sure it's not one our children have to die for.

Thomas to be banned in 'non-adversarial way'
At 10 a.m. on Monday, the Bruins officially will designate Tim Thomas a suspended player. What happens after remains to be seen.
Last week, Thomas reiterated to general manager Peter Chiarelli via agent Bill Zito that he will not play this season. However, Thomas wants to play in 2013-14.
This season, the Bruins will be responsible for carrying Thomas's $5 million prorated cap number, although he will not receive his $3 million in remaining salary.
"We want to do it in a non-adversarial way,'' Chiarelli said of suspending Thomas. "I've talked to the agent. We'll agree to some type of set of facts. That will be it.''
Last summer, Chiarelli projected that a team below the cap floor might trade for Thomas. Even though Thomas wouldn't play, a team could have used his cap hit to reach the floor.
Under the collective bargaining agreement, the floor this season is $44 million. All teams are above that threshold.
"There's probably not an opportunity to move him to a team that needs to get to the floor,'' Chiarelli acknowledged. "So, it's a bit of a standstill. He's on our cap and he'll be suspended.''
Thomas's contract is set to expire after this season. The Bruins can toll the contract forward by an additional season, and Thomas would remain Boston property in 2013-14. If the Bruins decline to toll the contract forward, Thomas will become an unrestricted free agent on July 5.
Last May, the Bruins were surprised by Thomas's decision. That abrupt declaration, combined with the team's obligation to carry his cap number this season, will not make Thomas welcome in Boston. But circumstances could change.
"Too early to tell,'' Chiarelli said when asked if the team would toll Thomas's contract forward. "It's a contractual right by law that we have that we may use or not.''
Bourque is home
Thirteen years ago, Ray Bourque called TD Garden home. On Sunday, Chris Bourque finally could say the same. The son of the Hall of Fame defenseman took his first official skate as a Bruin on Garden ice.
"To be in the locker room, it's something I've dreamed of as a kid,'' Bourque said. "I used to come in here as a kid. But to come in here as a player to try and earn a spot is really a dream come true.''
Bourque will have first crack at filling the only vacancy among the forward lines. On June 23, the Bruins traded third-line left wing Benoit Pouliot to Tampa Bay. On Sunday, the 26-year-old Bourque practiced in Pouliot's former spot on the No. 3 line alongside Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley.
"He makes plays,'' coach Claude Julien said of Bourque. "He's got good hockey sense, skates well. We saw him on the power play. He does some good things. We need to give this guy an opportunity to show that he can do it with us. Right now, we know he's not a fourth-line player. He's more of a top-three-line player. Right now, there's a spot open there. We're giving him that opportunity to maybe see if there's some chemistry that can be built between those three.''
In 32 games with Providence this season, Bourque had eight goals and 20 assists. In previous call-ups with Pittsburgh and Washington, Bourque filled mostly a fourth-line role.
The Bruins have one of the league's sharpest fourth lines in Daniel Paille, Gregory Campbell, and Shawn Thornton. On the third line, the two-way play of Kelly and Peverley should help blunt any of Bourque's defensive shortcomings.
"I would never make excuses for myself. But when I did play for those two teams, I was always stuck on the fourth line,'' Bourque said of his earlier NHL stints. "Not playing with as offensive guys as I would like to. I consider myself decently offensive. It's tough when you're playing eight minutes tops and not given that great a chance to produce offensively.''
Savard to visit
Marc Savard is scheduled to be in Boston this week, at which time the Bruins will declare Savard unfit to play. Savard is still suffering post-concussion symptoms.
Savard is under contract through 2016-17 at an annual average salary of $4,007,143. The Bruins could exceed this season's $70.2 million cap by Savard's annual hit by placing the center on long-term injured reserve.
However, it's possible the Bruins won't have to use that option. Unlike 2011-12, performance bonuses will not initially be counted toward the cap. For example, only Tyler Seguin's $900,000 base salary will count toward the cap. If Seguin earns his maximum of $2.65 million in bonuses, setting the Bruins over the cap, they can include part or all of that amount in the bonus cushion. They would then be penalized that amount in 2013-14.
"We've got a lot of flexibility this year,'' said Chiarelli. "Do I suspect we'll use Savard's LTI? It depends. [Owner Jeremy] Jacobs has allowed us to pursue those types of players. He wants to win. I think if we presented a compelling case, I think he'd let us use it.''
McQuaid ready
Adam McQuaid underwent surgery in October to remove a blood clot near his right shoulder. The procedure required doctors to remove a rib and part of McQuaid's neck muscle. But McQuaid expects to play against the Rangers on Saturday. "I feel pretty close,'' McQuaid said. "I feel like every day is getting better.'' It's coming pretty quick.'' McQuaid missed last year's playoffs because of a concussion. The defenseman's last game was April 5 , when he skated only eight shifts against Ottawa. "He certainly didn't stick out in the group as far as a guy being off his game or anything else,'' Julien said. "We're looking forward to having a guy like him. We missed him last year.'' . . . The Bruins probably will open the season with one extra forward and one spare defenseman. On Sunday, four forwards practiced on an extra line: Lane MacDermid, Jay Pandolfo, Ryan Spooner, and Jamie Tardif. Three defensemen are competing for the No. 7 job: Aaron Johnson, Matt Bartkowski, and David Warsofsky . . . The Bruins will have an intrasquad scrimmage Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Garden. The scrimmage is free. Fans must claim tickets at the Garden box office or at www.bostonbruins.com . . . The Bruins will offer three complimentary food or non-alcoholic beverage items to fans during January home games. Other benefits include a 25 percent sale on merchandise in the Garden pro shop during home games; free T-shirts to all fans on Saturday; and a raffle for free travel on the team charter to an away game.

You want another reason to worry about the state budget? Well, here's one: a major credit rating agency isn't worried.
Standard & Poor's, the credit rating agency that precipitated the economic and housing crisis by giving top ratings to mortage-backed securities, declared Thursday that the budget has been stabilized.
Now things are fine, according to S&P, despite the billions of dollars in legally questionable manuevers and rosy assumptions in the budget.
U.S. & World
What a relief.
The S&P report raises the question of why anyone believes the credit rating agencies anymore.
S&P along with other agencies previously had been so hysterically negative about the state's finances that it gave California the nation's lowest credit rating, even lower that ratings given to any number of corporations that have since failed.
And predictably, S&P's positive report on the budget was followed Friday by a negative national jobs report.
With taxes tied to employment and the national economic picture, such a report would seem to raise doubts about the $4 billion in additional revenue that was assumed as part of last week's budget deal.
But not to worry. S&P isn't worried. So what could go wrong?

The colors of the Blue Morpho's wing are generated by nanometer-sized structures on the wing's scales. In this image, light reflected from the scales creates the Morpho's characteristic iridescent blue color. The Blue Morpho is common in Central and South America and known for its bright blue wings. However, these iridescent colors are created not by pigments in the wing tissues but instead by the way light interacts with nanometer-sized structures on the Morpho's wing scales. This effect is being studied as a model in the development of new fabrics, dye-free paints, and anti-counterfeit technologies for currency. • SIZE: Each scale is about 70x200 µm. • IMAGING TOOL: Optical microscope
