By CHIP SAYE
For the AJC
The road was particularly harsh for the lower-seeded teams in the first round of the playoffs last weekend. Fourth-seeded teams won only three of 40 games, down from eight in 2008 and the average of six over the previous five seasons. No. 3 seeds fared slightly better, winning 10 of 40, giving home teams a 67-13 record for the week.
Now we look to Round 2, where the competition gets tougher, and the picks get more difficult. Here are some of the stories worth watching in tonight's games:
Region 1-AA is 4-0: Fitzgerald, Thomasville, Brooks County and Cook swept their Region 4-AA opponents last week, making 1-AA the only region in the state to go 4-0 in the first round. Things aren't likely to go as well tonight. Fitzgerald should take care of Swainsboro to advance to the quarterfinals, but Thomasville (vs. Jefferson County), Brooks County (vs. Charlton County) and Cook (vs. Appling County) all have their work cut out for them. I expect all three to lose, but Thomasville and Brooks County could make things interesting.
Intriguing matchup for Round 3: Victories by Lassiter and Colquitt County would set up a third-round Class AAAAA game between Lassiter coach Chip Lindsey and his former boss, Colquitt County's Rush Propst. Before coming to Lassiter, Lindsey was the offensive coordinator at Alabama's Hoover High School, where Propst was the head coach. Lassiter should survive South Gwinnett in a game that could be reminiscent of their last playoff meeting in 1999, when David Greene led South Gwinnett to a 45-42 victory in the first round. But I don't expect Colquitt to get past Stephenson, which is aiming for its sixth appearance in the quarterfinals this decade.
Toughest pick of the week: I've gone back and forth all week on the Commerce-Darlington game. Both teams enter the game 7-4. Both teams have won six of their past seven after 1-3 starts. Both have gone 3-4 against playoff teams, including lopsided losses to Wesleyan. Darlington has struggled a bit in its past couple of games after wrapping up the Region 6-A championship, losing to Trion in the regular-season finale and then beating Warren County 16-14 in the first round. So I'll go with No. 2-seed Commerce, which is the hotter team at the moment.
Easiest pick of the week: Most times, the closest thing to a lock you can find is Buford. Not this week. The Wolves are playing an 11-0 Jefferson team coached by T. McFerrin, who has a lot of experience beating teams from Gwinnett County from his days as the South Gwinnett coach. I do think Buford will win, but there are safer picks out there. The one I keep coming back to is Dunwoody at Gainesville. Dunwoody acquitted itself well in the Region 5-AAA championship game against St. Pius and had a surprisingly easy victory against Elbert County in the first round. But I don't see how the Wildcats can slow Gainesville, which has the state's second-highest scoring average (46.8 points) as well as the top defense (6.3 points) in Class AAA.
No. 4 seeds: Can the three No. 4 seeds that won last weekend make it two upsets in a row? Yes, no and maybe. Yes for Flowery Branch, the runner-up in Class AAA last year. The Falcons are better than your typical No. 4 seed, and they should move into the quarterfinals by beating Grady. The no is Cook, whose road should end tonight at Appling County. That leaves Brookwood as the maybe. The Broncos upset McEachern in the first round, which I didn't think would happen, and now travel to Peachtree Ridge, the Class AAAAA runner-up in 2008. I'm picking Peachtree Ridge, but I won't be shocked if Brookwood wins again.
No. 3 seeds: Ten No. 3 seeds escaped the first round, but I see only two making it to the quarterfinals — Liberty County and Westminster. But don't count out Rockdale County against Hiram (another difficult pick) or defending Class AAAA champion Tucker, which plays at Sandy Creek.
And don't forget: I can't fail to mention the biggest battle of heavyweights on tonight's schedule, Lowndes at Camden County. Last year, Camden County used its second-round victory against the No. 2 seed from Region 1-AAAAA (Northside-Warner Robins) as its springboard to the state championship. The Wildcats are facing the same situation this year, but this time it's Lowndes advancing to the quarterfinals, and perhaps a lot further.

I wouldn't count Jackson out this weekend. Sure Liberty County had a signature win last weekend, but I am not convinced that they can pull out two in a row. Jackson is a team with a load of talent, and an experienced coaching staff. Don't be surprised if they keep pulling out those close wins.

Union Grove should be a good preparation game for Northside for the quarterfinals. They have a good team. Welcome to Eagle Country!! Go Blue!

Not so fast, my friend & RedDevilsALLTHEWAY,
Glad you all on the blog. So you all believe that Jackson will beat Liberty County tomorrow? Tell me, what does Jackson have that Liberty county doesn't have? How bad are you all going to beat Liberty County that they will being going back to liberty County all teary eyed? had it been LaGrange that you all would be playing, how bad you all would have beaten them?

Every year u dumb sports writers doubt my camden county wildcats and every year we make u look stupid when you pick against us. Coach Herrond has a score to settle with Lowndes and u can bet that he is preparing his guys to do battle on friday. Give those boys so credit
November 19th, 2009

Jackson will beat Liberty County 24-10.
Jackson and Lagrange would have been a better and closer game. It could have went either way in that situation although I think it would have been Jackson-14 Lagrange-10

Go Camden. Thats one pick you got wrong.

Nothing on TCC in your playoff review, huh? Nothing unusual here….the AJC has been ignoring TCC all season long….Until we beat Westside-Macon, that is. Oh, well….all we can continue to do is win games.

Sportsfan, I am simply urging some of the prognosticators to give that team down in Jackson another look. They have a team that has been in this situation before. They have a ton of playmakers, many of whom are seniors who have been playing together since middle school, and a talented and experienced coaching staff. They will be prepared for the game, and they seem to match up well against Liberty. A lot of people tend to scoff at last week's close victory, but in that game, Jackson proved that they could outlast against a team with a very stout defense and a team that was large enough to control the line of scrimmage. It seems to me that Jackson came out of that game with a new found confidence that will carry over through this week.

Ok Im a Griffin Backer. We need 4 more victories to capture the title. After we take care of Ware Co. We will be waiting on you Marist. Since they supposedly manhandled us during a preseason that ended in a tie. LOL! So region 6AAAA first we beat Marist then we beat SWD like we did last year************Consider yourselves warned**********
November 19th, 2009
4:39 pm
Not so fast, my friend,
I agree with you, and I am taking anything away from Jackson. Remember they are No 6 in the state. they didn't get there by lolly gagging. They have a Division 1 prospect who has already committed to the Florida Gators, and it will be very foolish to take this lightly. However; Liberty County too have proven themselves to be a great team. they come out of region 3-AAA which is the toughest Region in the State in Class AAA. They have beaten some great football teams on the road in which two of them were ranked in the State including LaGrange who is a Perennial Power by themself. Liberty County too have a great Coaching Staff, who knows how to relate and get these group of great young men to respond to them and out their calls into action without fail. Liberty County not only have confidence, but they have a lot of heart. To win games against great teams on the road speaks volumes about Liberty County. This will be a good close game between the two.

Just to clarify, Lagrange was ranked 10 a few weeks back but then fell out of the rankings. The fact is, is that Lagrange simply wasn't the Lagrange everyone is used to this year.

Lowndes – 38 Camden – 17 lowndes just has to much team this year even with one of it's stars ( Tyler Hunter) not being able to play. Also the defense is just to fast & too strong , & plays with a grudge
November 19th, 2009
7:31 pm
Bob Spire's Pups send Woodstock crying back to Snoopy and take them to the woodshed. North Gwinnett wins 21-7.
November 19th, 2009
8:16 pm
Camden County has a chance with the talent they have to be in and win any game they play. However, after watching Coach Herron coach for the past 4 years, the biggest hurdle our boys will have to overcome is tomorrow night is for Coach Herron is to play to win and not be afraid to lose.. I can give you a thousand example's especially when they played Lowndes 2 years ago in the dome. When your own coach gives an interview 3 weeks prior to the playoffs that he is intimidated by another team in 5A sends the wrong message to his team, period. Good Luck Boys .. Take it to them!
November 19th, 2009
8:29 pm
Well since no one will talk about the game at all on AJC I will just predict that Wesleyan-Bowdon will be a close game and Wesleyan will win 42-21
November 19th, 2009

TitleTown- you say Woodstock will have to "play their hearts out"…are you insinuating North Gwinnett won't??
Bulldogs walk away with the win this Friday and prepare for Lowndes/Camden winner.

Lowndes has won on the road (not at a neutral site) in the playoffs one time this decade….Does this matter? Camden and Lowndes have excellent teams this however does not decide the state Championship…….this is the second round not the Finals>>>
November 19th, 2009
8:53 pm
after seeing what happened last year at grayson after lowndes was so dominant during regular season i am not going to say lowndes rolls over camden. this will be a low scoring hard fought game that good special teams play and turnovers are going to play an important part in determining who wins. i say lowndes 20-17. Go VIKINGS!!!!

Highschool Football Fan – we (Lowndes) tend to play defense too in big games, worry sometimes too much about playing field position, etc. Take for instance the last time we played Camden we only won 10-0. We should have won by 35 but were too tight and too concerned with just playing field position. That sounds like the way you are describing Coach Herron. But I guarantee he and Randy McPherson knows more about football than any of us on this blog. But I do think both of'em should loosen up some in the really big games, let the kids be not so uptight, and take some offensive chances. But hey , with the records those two coaches have, who are we to question them? Right?
November 19th, 2009
9:04 pm
When was the last time Stephenson didn't have great athletes, speed, and D-1 talent on their roster? I can't remember any time in the near past that they didn't possess these traits as a team. The burning question that I have is this……Can Gartrell (DeKalb Co. 2009 Coach of the Year) and company out coach Propst and company?
I'm tired of hearing all this stuff about Stephenson has this and that, seems to me they keep this and that, but can the coaching staff implement a sound/efficient game plan, make the necessary adjustments, and keep their team mentally focus throughout what should be a tight ball game?
I'll be @ the game if Gods willing and hopefully I'll get my questions answered. Good luck to both teams. I'm pulling for Stephenson but history is telling me to pick Colquitt Co.
November 19th, 2009
9:05 pm
i will say this. i am from lowndes county and a big viking fan. i dont miss a game. i graduated in o4 from lowndes. i am a lil concerned about having to play camden county at camden. the were beating hoover by two touchdowns. we all know the powerhouse that hoover is in alabama. they had players suspended when they lost 10-7 to grayson. they lost 2 games yeah, but to two great teams by a combined 6 points. if lowndes does not bring there "A" game, then lowndes fans will drive home sad again. Lowndes has to go out and make statement and play like they are capable of. if our vikings show up and play like the vikings we all know then they beat camden

An exhibit of artwork by Maureen Fenton-Hansen - whose career as an artist and teacher spanned three decades in Monterey County- will be presented at the Hartnell College Gallery from April 7 through May. 3.
The exhibition features examples of her painting, printmaking, calligraphy and mixed media drawings.
Born in New York in 1945, Fenton-Hansen studied at the University of California at Santa Barbara where she earned a Master of Fines Arts degree in 1976. The earliest works in the exhibition are from a series based on colorful and often humorous shirt designs and patterns. They are graphically striking and show her interest in transforming the traditional rectangular format of paper into cut and assembled forms, said Gary Smith, gallery director and Hartnell art instructor.
Such recognizable imagery and conventional lithography technique was radically transformed by her move to Monterey County in 1977. Fenton-Hansen developed a strong new direction in her painting and drawing, first through her encounter with the vast scale and intricate patterns of the fields of the Salinas Valley, and then with ideas of Japanese design during her first visit to Japan in 1986. Fenton-Hansen used these new-found influences to create images based on geometric patterns and forms, especially repeated lines, in several series of paintings and drawings over the next two decades.
In 1977 Fenton-Hansen began her 30-year teaching career at Hartnell College in Salinas. Her classes included instruction in printmaking, calligraphy and jewelry making. While primarily known for her two-dimensional works in which she continued to explore new ideas and materials, Fenton-Hansen made periodic and significant experiments in sculpture, concentrating those efforts on small-scale metalwork and jewelry. She continued to travel extensively, gathering new influences and ideas as well as collecting materials to incorporate into her work from Asia, Europe, Australia and South America. From the mid-1980s until the end of her life in 2007, she worked on more formal pieces that evoke three-dimensional shapes and space. These works often incorporated fragments of her earlier prints and calligraphy. Maureen Fenton-Hansen will be remembered for the vigor of her art and her life, and for her commitment to her students.
The Fenton-Hansen exhibition is supported by the Hartnell College Foundation through the Burrel Leonard Bequest and the generosity of Ms. Joan Lam.
Gallery hours are Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Mondays through Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public. A closing reception for the exhibition will be held in the Gallery on May 3 from 3-5 p.m.
For more information please contact Gary Smith, Hartnell College Gallery director at 831-755-6791.

"What I aspire to do, and what I try the hardest to do is write stuff that's very personal in its way," Brown told Playbill.com at the April 30 Tony Award nominees press junket. "I figure I can only say things the way I say them, so I'm trying to do something that is kind of anti-generic. In that respect, to be able to put something of my own out there — with a very personal stamp — it's a little scary, and it also doesn't always feel entirely endemic to this particular environment, so when the community responds and says, 'We love this work. We understand what you're doing. We appreciate it,' I love that part. Obviously, it's very gratifying."
Despite Brown's Tony nomination for Best Original Score — as well as three others for Best Actress (Kelli O'Hara), Best Lighting Design (Donald Holder) and Best Orchestrations (Brown) — it was announced May 1 that the new musical, based on the romantic novel by Robert James Waller, would close May 18.
Since then, Brown has taken to the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre to conduct the orchestra and played his final performance May 14, where an abundance of fans and friends were in attendance. They greeted O'Hara and Steven Pasquale with rapturous applause, stopped the show numerous times in its second act (following "One Second and a Million Miles," arguably the most powerful love duet of the Broadway season, O'Hara's "Almost Real" and Pasquale's "It All Fades Away"), and stood for Brown and the cast at curtain call. Brown was spotted wiping what looked like tears from his face throughout the evening.
"It is scary to write — period — for me, but once you get past the idea that it's scary to write, I still can only be who I am," Brown admitted. "As a writer, my job, to me, is to expose myself — to really sort of dig in and find out who I am and then put it on the page. That's the case if it's The Bridges of Madison County or if it's 13 or Honeymoon in Vegas or if it's Parade. The point is to bring myself through these characters and really try to understand them by understanding myself."

OFFICE OF RECORD: Human Resources Office
ISSUED BY: Director of Human Resources
APPROVED BY: J. A. Tunheim 02-80-00
EFFECTIVE DATE: 1/8/96 (Reviewed 3/18/13)
Dakota State University pledges itself to continue its commitment to the achievement of equal opportunity. DSU prohibits discrimination based on the arbitrary consideration of such characteristics as race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability, except to the extent allowed by law. Discrimination will not be tolerated in any aspect of the access to admission, or treatment of students in its programs and activities, or in the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment (including but not limited to recruitment, hiring, assignment, training, promotion, tenure, transfer, compensation or termination). Furthermore, University policy includes prohibitions of harassment of students and employees, including racial harassment, sexual harassment, and retaliation for filing complaints of discrimination.
The Board of Regents affirms its commitment to the objectives of equal opportunity and non-discrimination in accordance with state and federal law. Redress for alleged violations of those laws may be pursued at law or through the procedures established by the provisions of BOR Policy 1:19.
Dakota State University is further committed to taking affirmative action to achieve equality of opportunity with regard to the disabled, minorities, women, and Vietnam-era veterans. The Director of Human Resources holds primary responsibility for maintaining the Affirmative Action Plan, monitoring related university policies, and assisting individuals who have questions or problems related to discrimination.
The following policies and procedures are important elements in equal opportunity. The sources are also listed.
Sexual Harassment Policy: DSU Policy 02-81-00, BOR Policy 1:17
Human Rights Complaint Procedures: BOR Policy 1:18

Americans With Disabilities Policy: DSU Policy 01-02-00, DSU Faculty/Staff Handbook
Accountability: All members of the University community (faculty, staff, administrators and students) are responsible for maintaining a working and learning environment free from discrimination and harassment. This same responsibility extends to employees of third parties doing business with the University or on University premises and to campus visitors. It is the responsibility of each employee and student to become fully informed of the provisions of this policy and ensure individual compliance. Any supervisor, advisor, or other university member to whom discrimination is reported or who becomes aware of harassment by co-worker, subordinate, peer, or student is responsible for taking immediate steps to end the discriminatory practice and/or for reporting the harassment to administrators with authority to take action. All persons are charged with ensuring that they do not retaliate in any way against a person who files a discrimination complaint. Employees and students may be subject to disciplinary action for violation of any of the obligations set forth in this policy statement.
Complaints: Any person who feels that he or she has been subject to discrimination should report the incident immediately to the Director of Human Resources. Inquiries and allegations may also be lodged with any university administrator or, in the case of students, with any faculty member. That person is responsible for forwarding the inquiry or allegation to the Director of Human Resources for response and/or investigation according to BOR policy 1:18. If warranted, disciplinary action will be initiated under existing faculty, staff, or student disciplinary procedures. Confidentiality consistent with due process will be maintained.

I had a Bundy flute when I played in high school and it lasted all four years through marching in the rain, being dropped, and even stepped on once! It was a very durable flute that was easy to play but more importantly, stood up to everything a high schooler puts it through.
my bundy flute is 40 years old.after I got it, it needed refurbished and cleaned but after I got it back it was as good as new and also played well too love this flute. very easy too play for a beginner flutist.
My daughter plays in the high school band, and she previously played on a secondhand flute we found at a garage sale. It was old and kept falling apart, and we decided to upgrade her to something new while she decides if she'll play in college. I have visited Woodwind & Brasswind's retail store before, and thought to look them up online. There were many flutes to choose from, but as everyone knows, money is especially tight right now and we really couldn't justify more than $200. We found the Bundy 300 series flute and ordered it, figuring we could always ship it back if her teacher decided it was junk. The flute arrived in a timely manner and we took it to her teacher for inspection right away. He was very pleasantly surprised! He played it and said it had a good tone for such a beginner-level instrument, and that it seemed sound, and now she won't have to worry about marching with an expensive instrument. We have had it for 4 months now and have not had a single problem with it. No adjustments were needed - though the teacher says it plays a bit sharp so she keeps the head pulled out. But my daughter is very happy and now we can save money at our leisure for a professional flute down the road. Thank you, Woodwind & Brasswind!

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office needs the public's help finding a man who robbed a bank in Lambertville, MI Thursday morning. They say he robbed a teller at gunpoint wearing a Halloween skeleton-style ski mask. Officials say it happened shortly after 9 a.m. at the Fifth Third Bank located at 3559 Sterns Road.
Deputies say a male suspect entered through the front doors, then approached a bank teller, revealing a hand gun and demanding money. The teller complied and the suspect fled with an undetermined amount of money.Witnesses told police the suspect ran into the woods located just west of the bank. The suspect is described by witnesses as a male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a thin build, wearing a Halloween-style ski mask, long-sleeved light-colored shirt and tan khaki pants.Although there were several customers in the bank at the time of the robbery, no one was injured.
The incident remains under investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. Anyone with more information is urged to call the Monroe County Sheriff's Detective Bureau at 734-240-7530.

A special session of the Navajo Nation Council focuses on one of the tribe's most abundant natural resources -- coal.
Lawmakers are scheduled to vote on two energy-related bills Wednesday. One would invest money in a company the tribe formed to purchase a coal mine in northwestern New Mexico. The other updates the tribe's energy policy that includes support for clean coal technology.
Coal and the power plants it feeds make up a significant portion of the tribe's general fund.
Navajo President Ben Shelly has said that lawmakers' approval of the energy policy is a prerequisite for him supporting the purchase of the Navajo Mine from BHP Billiton.
The special session takes places in Window Rock and will be streamed live online.

The Guardian has obtained a top-secret ruling by a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court ordering Verizon to turn over call records for millions of Americans to the FBI and the National Security Agency for a three-month period ending in mid-July. This revelation, which has sparked outrage and garnered major mainstream media attention, not only adds weight to alarms long raised by legislators and civil liberties advocates, but has also raised ire even in the most stalwart defenders of the Patriot Act—the 2001 law that enables this kind of covert court ruling and mass surveillance.
Shahid Buttar, executive director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, founded 12 years ago to fight the Patriot Act, expressed dismay that the surveillance of millions of Americans had been OK'ed. He told In These Times by phone, "The rule of law requires transparency. And a secret court [such as a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court] is not a court at all. Its decision-making is not judicial or 'jurisprudencial' in any meaningful sense of the word. It is ultimately political."

This entry in the "hot young opposites attract over the course of one long night" genre takes place at Scotland's muddy summer counterpart to Coachella, T in the Park. Adam (Luke Treadaway), the skinny-jeans'd frontman of a famous Brooklyn electro duo, gets in a squabble with Morello (Natalia Tena), a British sprite who plays keyboards in an upstart girl band. Out of nowhere, a mysterious black man shows up and handcuffs Adam and Morello together and then disappears with the key, forcing the pair to spend the entire festival together. That Adam is attending the fest with a supermodel superbitch girlfriend and Morello with a moneybags doormat boyfriend merely delays the inevitable. Still, the ease with which Adam and Morello let vacation attraction trump their established relationships calls their basic character composition — as believable fictional entities and as ostensibly sympathetic human beings — into question, which is not something Tonight You're Mine cares to explore. Shooting at the actual T in the Park in July 2010, director David Mackenzie and his crew pull off the feat of staging a drama against the backdrop of an unfolding event: The richly saturated, largely low-light cinematography looks gorgeous and successfully captures the texture of an all-night, life-changing party. But the authenticity baked into the production doesn't redeem the absurdly improbable premise, the attractive actors don't do anything to make the caricatures they're playing feel real, and the aggressive hipness of the film is queasily dated — the cinematic equivalent of the clearance corner at Urban Outfitters.

Feeling French on Friday.
Actually just looking French. I wanted to wear something comfortable, because Friday night I had this complicated high-maintenance outfit with high heels planned. So I thought of this dress, with the red flats, and the red, white and blue made me think of the USA, which made me think of this photo I'd just seen of the Ralph Lauren Olympic outfits, and I liked the berets. But when you put the beret with horizontal stripes, it looks French. Which is OK with me. (That's pretty good branding the French have.)

Ok, so most of you have seen this trailer on TV and you're like, "Ooooh, yeah. Another vampire movie, this time with kids. I am not paying to see that piece of shit."
Yeah, you guys are sadly mistaken. If this movie ends up being half as good as the original version called Let the Right One In, which is done in Swedish with English subtitles, then it's going to be well worth the cost of a movie ticket and then some.

Building distributed applications with BOINC
Grid computing lets little PCs work on big problems. You can use the grid system of the famous SETI@home project to build your own grid computing solutions.
With the advent of the information society, office PCs spawned at mind boggling rates in most companies. These computers share most of their time with a common task: the idle task. Activities such as browsing the Internet or working on an office document aren't very challenging for contemporary CPUs. If you are sitting next to your PC, and you are not currently encoding audio or videos, invoke the uptime command. The average load will surely be far below 1.0. This low level of usage indicates a poor workload on your PC, which means that your boss paid too much for it. A basic idea behind grid computing is to harness these idle CPU cycles for something useful. For instance, you could use an idle desktop computer to process biomedical signals or simulate an environmental model.

So far in the awards season there has been a clear winner in the battle the two based-on-real events movies involving the CIA versus Islamic extremism. It's Argo all the way. Now, that neither proves that Argo is a better film than Zero Dark Thirty nor guarantees it a win at the Oscars. Its edge over Kathryn Bigelow's hunt for Bin Laden movie is almost certainly due in part to factors unrelated to the quality of the work.
ZDT may have been hampered by Bigelow's comparatively recent Oscars triumph with The Hurt Locker, while Argo seems to have benefitted from the Ben Affleck Redemption Narrative, something he hasn't shied away from. Argo also has a splendid double act from old troupers Alan Arkin and John Goodman, which will probably go down well with the large senior contingent of the Academy (and it's a partially a Hollywood on Hollywood movie, which always goes down well in the industry). ZDT, on the other hand, has an attention-grabbing star in Jessica Chastain, a little bit of Tony Soprano in a wig and the now obligatory rag-bag of Aussies and Brits.
ZDT has definitely been hurt, to some degree unfairly, by the torture controversy.It's also been damaged by the film-makers' early claims of accuracy and authenticity. As the awards season has gone on, the ZDT team have talked more about the small number of characters standing for the many CIA agents, informants, prisoners and so on that involved in the real messy nine-year quest. But that all came too late, and clashes with the texture of the film, designed to give you the sense that you are really there in Pakistan or Afghanistan. It's not aiming for Lawrence Of Arabia mythic or Three Kings satirical, more ripped from the headlines, and that makes you vulnerable when you stray (as the film often does) from the established facts*.
Then there is the Barack Obama dimension. The release of Zero Dark Thirty was reportedly delayed until after the election in case this account of the president's highest-profile foreign affairs achievement gave him an unfair advantage. Ironically, when the film actually did emerge, it turned out that Obama's by almost-all-accounts very hands-on involvement in the final stages of the search for Bin Laden is nowhere in sight. While you can see why Bigelow and writer Mark Boal may have wanted to avoid accusations of being party political, by choosing to deal with such recent events they put themselves in a difficult position. In the end, they have dodged bias only by leaving a massive hole in the climax of the story.
Argo has been attacked for its inaccuracies as well. The film libels the foreign services of New Zealand and the United Kingdom, although it does so in one line that I would be surprised if one in a hundred audience actually noticed. But although they are both stem broadly from things that really occurred, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty invite different standards by which they will be judged. Argo's story seems so delightfully improbable that even if only a quarter of it happened that way, that would be insanely great. ZDT demands to be taken seriously, so that those scenes that jar (and there are a number), really jar and undermine the whole exercise.
The final one of the external factors is that Argo takes what was the lowest point in America's self-esteem - the Tehran embassy hostage crisis - and finds something positive that happened during it. ZDT gives you the pay-off of having UBL dispatched by the US special forces, but only after reminding you that the search for him was a seemingly never-ending shambles. Indeed, like a lot of recent films, Zero Dark Thirty is long and feels longer. The charitable explanation is this is deliberate, that Bigelow wants you to identify with the characters' frustrations, that this maybe is the trace of the potentially more interesting film that Zero Dark Thirty was meant to have been, before the CIA unexpectedly stumbled across their long-lost target in Pakistan.
But none of that matters as much as the fact that Argo is a much better film, or if that sounds too subjective, at the very least one that completely succeeds on its own terms. It manages to be both efficient and charming, a masterful piece of economical storytelling and very funny. It's not a short movie, clocking it at two hours flat, but it has a good use for almost every one of those minutes (the Affleck-kid scenes excepted), and that's a horribly rare thing in mainstream American movies these days. As many critics have pointed out, Ben Affleck pulls off something technically impressive here, getting the balance right between the Hollywood satire and the hostage drama, the laughs and the tension. So many films try it, so many get it horribly, horribly wrong.
Part of my problem with Zero Dark Thirty is that ultimately I'm not convinced that in the end Bigelow and Boal were that interested in the search for Osama Bin Laden. As the poster above suggests, what they, and producer Megan Ellison, have done is to make a major historical event matter less than a bratty young woman getting her way. Bigelow and her collaborators seem transfixed by their own creation, allowing her to repeatedly pop at the centre of the story in ways that veer from the improbable to the impossible, not to mention committing at least five sackable offences. Rather than the 17,000-staffed CIA versus one man, this is the story of one tiny woman taking on her employers** and only as an afterthought Al-Qaeda. Sometimes it reminded me of Buffy The Vampire Slayer drained of humour, crossed with Zelig. Is she worth it, Jessica Chastain's Maya? Is she a character needing over two and a half hours of your time, one of cinema's greats? She is not. She is a solipsistic crashing bore. That's probably true to life of course, truer than Claire Danes' equally obsessive but fascinating CIA analyst in Homeland. But if you're going to have the joyless truth, then you need the full joyless truth. You have to show the dozens, if not hundreds, of equally obsessed male and female Mayas there were, the Tora Bora clique and the 'he's dead already' brigade just as driven and bright and full of theories as the ones finally proved right, all with coffee-stained teeth and terrible personal hygiene.
But Bigelow lacked the inclination, the chops or, most likely, the resources to tell a big story on the scale it deserved. The better option might have been to bite off a smaller chunk of it - for instance, there is surely a whole movie to be had in the raid (and it's build-up) alone. Which brings us back to Argo, which focuses in on a tiny sub plot of a larger story (the main hostage crisis) that itself is brief moment in the history of the US and Iran… Affleck is aware the bigger picture, and the prologue montage even mentions that the CIA organised coup in 1953 that robbed Iran of any chance of secular democracy, but sticks to telling its characters' story. The result is a rare thing, a totally satisfying modern movie. I am sure it cheats all over the place, but nothing about it made me want or need to turn fact-checker. It's simply too entertaining.
*For instance, the film clashes with every account I have read by suggesting that rushed by Pakistan jets (which didn't actually get airborne till later), the Navy SEALS were forced to leave potential evidence behind. In fact the took their time collecting everything they could see - the results provided a pragmatic as well as revenge-driven rationale for the operation, apparently showing that Bin Laden still had an active role in terrorism. Of course, the film has no need of documentary proof, because Maya knows it in her gut.
**The way things are going, I think what we need urgently in 2013 are pro-bureaucracy movies. But if you do want a bureaucrat-versus-their-own organisation film, go for the great Ikiru, which made me weep buckets.blog comments powered by Disqus

Staffer Reviews "Hunger Games"
April 9, 2012
"Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor." These familiar words covered posters and trailers, as the debut of the movie for the book trilogy "The Hunger Games". Written by "New York Times" bestselling author and Indiana University graduate, Suzanne Collins, this trilogy has found a home on the shelves of teenagers all over the country. The pandemonium surrounding the books may have seemed of colossal proportions by itself, but that was until the announcement of a new movie, starring Jennifer Lawrence was set to come out in March 2012.
Characters Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Haymitch and Effie all appeared on the big screen for the first time at 12:01 in the morning on Friday, March 23 and the fandom that surrounded this premiere was astonishing. Mockingjay shirts and pins filled the never-ending lines of "Hunger Games" fanatics trying to get a good seat to watch the movie.
"It was fun. I really like midnight premieres because it is a lot of people that are obsessed with the movie or book. It was like a mini-Hunger Games party in line," sophomore and "Hunger Games" fan Kelly White said.
This was only waiting for the movie to begin, however. Once in the theater, before and even during the movie, the atmosphere became even more electrifying.
"Midnight premieres as a whole have very vocal audiences. Emotions are running high so when something funny happens, everyone laughs and when something frightening happens, there are collective gasps," sophomore Kaylis Dyer said.
For fans who have read the Hunger Games series almost religiously since it was first published, this movie should not be a disappointment. Having Collins as co-producer as well as screen-writer was an idea that definitely paid off. This idea will be a lesson to other directors trying to make a movie from a book. Collins understands her series inside and out and knew how to keep the feeling of the book alive in film as any author would.
"When I heard Suzanne Collins was going to be helping produce and write it, I felt that the director and actors felt obliged to let her guide it because without her story, the movie would be nothing. She really helped the story come to life," sophomore Natali Cavanagh said.
Many people are already thinking about the next book, "Catching Fire", and how it will be portrayed in the form of a movie. Fans across the country are all counting down until next year when they can go to another exciting midnight-premiere.

Only a day away from American Idol auditions in Joplin and singers are already preparing for auditions. Many Four State residents think they have what it takes to be the next American Idol and we spoke with a local musician and vocal coach for tips to have a good audition.
Twenty year old, Miami, Oklahoma country-pop musician James Redden says that persistence and passion are key for auditioning for shows like American Idol.
"The hard part is that you wait and wait to find out if you've made it and if you haven't, you just have to hold your breath and try out for the next one," says Redden.
On his first American Idol audition the answer was no.
"It was devastating, to say the least," says Redden.
Redden has also been in front of judges for X-Factor and The Voice. His advice for Idol hopefuls is not to push their voices.
"I make sure I sing every day, no matter what, even if it's just a small audition, big audition - biggest day of my life thing I would still sing, but I wouldn't over do it to where you're hoarse the next day to where you can't sing at all," Redden says.
Larry Stotsbery coaches singers at Missouri Southern State University and knows the importance of not over doing it.
"Overdoing your singing and singing too much can cause a real raspy hoarse quality to your voice, it can also lead eventually to some sort of vocal problems," Stotsbery says.
Redden's other tips:
Stotsbery also says drink lots of water.
"It is very important that they keep lots of water," says Stotsbery. "Keep water and moisture running down their throat at all times."
"Right now they just want to hear your money notes," says Redden. "They want to hear you belt your face off."
Try outs begin Wednesday at 9 a.m. at Landreth Park and will end at 4 p.m.
To audition you must be between the ages of 15 and 28. If you're under 18 you need a parent or guardian with you.
The Joplin Convention and Visitor's Bureau is preparing for tomorrow's audition and say there will be time for everyone to audition.
"They will not allow you to line up until eight o'clock in the morning," says Patrick Tuttle of the Joplin Convention and Visitor's Bureau. "They're going to get everybody in.

America's most popular light bulbs are about to become much harder to find. Incandescent light bulbs start phasing out Wednesday. American companies will no longer be able to manufacture or import the glass bulbs which use heated wires to generate light. The phaseout of the traditional 40- and 60-watt light bulbs is part of a 2007 energy efficiency law signed by then-president George W. Bush.
Instead of incandescents, consumers will find more efficient LED, halogen, or flourescent bulbs. You can still buy incandescent bulbs that are already on store shelve, but once they're gone, they're gone for good.

The firm's associations with civic and charitable organizations, however, represent only a snapshot of our community involvement. Jones Walker's attorneys participate in pro bono work and bar association service on a regular basis.
Jones Walker is committed to helping rebuild our communities in the Gulf South region, and we are proud to be a part of new growth and revitalization efforts. Our communities are truly something we take to heart.
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
On May 17, 2008, Jones Walker participated in the Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising Walk to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Attorneys, staff, and family members raised more than $2,600 in support of this great cause. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a nonprofit, donor supported organization, is to assure the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease. Jones Walker also supports this cause in the memory of our former partner Mike Herbert, whose son has cystic fibrosis.
United Way
Jones Walker is a longtime sponsor of several chapters of the United Way, including Capital Area United Way and United Way for the Greater New Orleans Area. Over the past several years, Jones Walker has participated in United Way fundraising campaigns on a firmwide basis. Past fundraising methods and activities have included silent auctions, individual donations, fundraising competitions among attorneys and staff, and raffles. Unique events to spur donations included a Blue Jean Dress Down Day, where Jones Walker personnel donated five dollars to the United Way and were allowed to wear jeans to the office. Additionally, many Jones Walker attorneys are deeply committed to the United Way, having served in leadership and fundraising positions.
Junior Achievement
Jones Walker has been a longtime supporter of Junior Achievement New Orleans. Most recently, in November 2009, 19 volunteers from Jones Walker, including partners, associates, secretaries, paralegals, and other staff, volunteered their time with Junior Achievement New Orleans. Partner Allen E. Frederic, III helped organize volunteers and coordinate the firm's involvement with Junior Achievement.
Volunteers worked with students at Lafayette Academy and were provided training and teaching packets from Junior Achievement to prepare lesson plans. Jones Walker's volunteers educated on several subjects, including different jobs in the community, how an assembly line works, how money circulates around a community, and how taxes help pay for government services. Each class was taught lessons from a grade-specific curriculum, and volunteers worked with students ranging from first grade to fifth grade. At the end of the program, Jones Walker distributed certificates of achievement and provided cookie cake and apple juice for a graduation celebration.
American Red Cross
Jones Walker has a long history of supporting the Louisiana Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. Currently, partner Kimberly L. Robinson and Chief Information Officer Ruark W. Chick serve on the chapter's Board of Directors, and partner Robert C. Tucker served as Chairman of the Board of Directors from 2007–2008.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Squirt Sizing not accurate. Definitely needed 1/2 size larger for 623v2 over the original 623. Doesn't make sense to me that they wouldn't fit the same, but still like the shoe. September 4, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by Prissy 1179 Still good after all these years! I have been wearing this shoe for years...my only negative would be that several years they changed the sizing and the fit has never been the same...had to go up 1/2 size and it just isn't the same. But, still like the shoe enough to keep purchasing it! July 30, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by scrapper wide comfort Enjoy walking for long stretches with the new balance shoe which comes in wide. I felt from the first day they were already broken in. The hardest part of new shoes. Love the all white. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Diana106 This product is great for support of feet. The only problem is the difference in the pricing between on line and in the store. The store price was 54.99 but they did not have correct size in stock. The on line price was 64.99. Being the store did not have correct size I should not have to pay the extra 10.00. July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jan The product is excellent for me. The shoes I purchased are wonderful. I just replaced the old one same brand. I like New Balance they provide shoes in a wide width and have a narrow heal. That is just what I needed. Thanks so much Janis July 11, 2014

The Overweight Man in the Park with Mad Skills
A group of young lads in Great Britain came across an overweight man in a park performing a one-man show with a soccer ball. The man effortlessly juggled the ball with all of his body parts. However, the out of shape man quickly grew tired, dumping the ball to the side as a ring of sweat took over his chest.
He had excellent control of the ball with his head much like Maradona. The great touch on his heel is similar to the likes of Ronaldinho.
The man hit the ball with his heel repeatedly and placed it over his chest where he would rest the ball. Then, after a couple of jukes here and there, he would blast the ball against the wall to continue his tremendous display.

The Alumni Challenge
The 2014 Annual Fund Alumni Challenge Inspires New Alumni Gifts
Alumni: here is your chance to help Landmark like never before thanks to an Annual Fund challenge match by Alumnus Brett Himsworth '90 and his parents. Brett, also a Landmark trustee, believes that "it's up to alumni to invest in the college that changed so many of our lives."
Here's how it works: Every gift, no matter how much you give, could be worth an extra $100 for Landmark:
- If this is your first gift Landmark will receive an extra $100 when you make a gift by June 30, 2014.
- If you've given before Landmark will receive an extra $50 when you make a gift by June 30, 2014 and if you increase your gift, the increase will be matched dollar for dollar up to an additional $50.
Not sure whether you've given before or how much? No problem! When we process your donation we will figure it out for you. Or, you can call us at Alumni Relations 802.378.6464 and we will let you know.
Thank you for supporting Landmark College. Your gift makes a big difference in the lives of current and future Landmark students.
Meet Brett Himsworth, '90
While Brett Himsworth '90 only spent a short time at Landmark–just a year–the College's impact on his life has been significant. Now a member of the Landmark College Board of Trustees, and a prior member of the Alumni Advisory Board, Brett feels passionately that it's up to alumni to give back to Landmark. Brett received his B.A. from Old Dominion University in 1995 and is currently Director of E-Rate Central and Textbook Central. Brett lives in New York.
It took me a decade before I truly began to appreciate what I had learned at Landmark and how well that served me in the ensuing years. My parents, who encouraged me to attend Landmark, also realized how valuable the experience was. I've put a lot of that learning into practice in the educational consulting business my father and I have built over the past seventeen years.
Why do I think alumni giving is so important? I believe that alumni – who have benefited the most from Landmark – should be the first to give back. It's up to us to ensure that other students who learn differently have the same opportunity we did for a Landmark education. I also believe the very act of giving allows alumni to reflect upon what Landmark has given to them.
Last year's alumni challenge increased alumni giving an impressive 100%. We need to do that again, not only to increase alumni participation, but to make sure that existing alumni donors continue, and consider increasing, their support. To help make this happen, my parents and I will make a gift for every alumnus that gives this year. We want to encourage continued, increased, and new alumni contributions to Landmark. Together, we can make this an exciting year for Landmark alumni.
Brett Himsworth, '90

"Recommended with caveats"
I can recommend this book to anyone who is interested in psychology-themed discussions. I found the academic style and presentation reassuring that the information was as reliable and vetted as well as possible at the time of writing. In contrast to some other reviewers, I did not personally find the academic nature of the discussion to be boring or dry. Some of the descriptions of hoarders is gave me an almost voyeuristic thrill and made my messy desk seem completely normal in contrast. I am not sure this was the intent of the author, but I would suspect that other non-hoarders might well have this response. The final segment of the book contained a discussion of modern American culture, and I found this part of the book to be preachy, irrelevant to the overall content, and speculative in a non-academic way. Other than that one weakness, I can recommend this book as an interesting read. The narration is fine but not spectacular. If you are not interested in the content, the narration will not carry this book for you.
Second in the series, do not read out of order.
It occurred to me that these books are re-do's of Lord Peter Wimsey books, at least in terms of overall theme. I was left with the VERY strong impression that some kind of computer program either wrote this book or aided in the writing. It's okay. I love Davina Porter and will listen to her narrate just about anything. Without her, this is not worth the credit. If you love her, it is.
"Very undisciplined book"
This book is not well edited and reads like a late draft rather than a completed manuscript. All the same, if you like Agatha Raisin, you'll like this one as well. I will say that M.C. Beaton must hate to end a story because this has ending after ending after ending to get through. I don't mind much because it stretches the stories out. It's a shame that Beaton did not take more time to develop characters along the way, though, as the story could have been fleshed out in a much more satisfying way. Unlike "As the Pig Turns" (the next in the series), this does "feel" like it was written by M.C. Beaton.
"Did M.C. Beaton Write This Book?"
I cannot believe that M.C. Beaton wrote this book because there are way too many errors. Years have gone by since Toni Gilmour started working at the detective agency, yet she's still 18 in this story, for an example. There are a number of little things like this throughout the book, and it's frustrating. If they are going to get someone in to keep the series going under the name M.C. Beaton (a pseudonym already), fine, but at least have the ghost writer read the earlier books!
As for the plot, well, if you like Agatha Raisin then far-fetched plots don't bother you. It's impossible to believe that the body of a man could be mistaken for the body of a pig, but who cares if you are along for the ride. But if you are looking for a development of the metanarrative, then forget it. The details get muddled too much for there to be much book-to-book development.
"Narrator has an odd voice"
This is straight genre writing. It's a satisfying story and a good mystery.
Yes and no. I want to listen to the other titles in this series, but I would rather this narrator were not doing them. I would never seek out this narrator. Her voice is very flat and has an odd inflection. Words like "death" sound like "dath," and I find that distracting.
It's interesting to learn a bit about wicken culture.
"Not worth the money unless it's close to free"
No, but I would certainly never look for this author or this narrator again.
Some people seem to like Scott Brick, but I find his voice to be whiney and his narration to be filled with inexplicable "profound moments." His narrative style for women and for Blacks is insultingly cliched.
There are a number of unnecessary characters in this book.
Meh. I bought this book cheap and it held just enough interest for me not to "put it down" until the end, but nothing more. There are numerous stupid little errors (like for example, a character says he is going to grill "burgers, fries, and dogs," but really, who grills fries?) It's the kind of thing that makes the writer and the editor look sloppy. The plot of the book is unbelievable to the bitter end (spoiler: the main character is never called to testify? Now, come on...) The characters seem false, especially the main male character who seems to exist without any normal human motivations.
"Not for a Lay Reader"
No. I expected this to be a book for a well-educated lay reader. But a lay reader could not hope to understand the content, especially in an audio format.
This was ill-suited for an audiobook. There is much too much math here to listen to.
The performance was workmanlike. Not much good or bad to say about it.
Frustration. It's very tedious to listen to long equations being read out loud. And there are a lot of long equations in this book.
The narrative was stripped of the stories that make it fascinating and we were left with the math. A person who can understand this level of math likely already knows it. For the rest of us, there will be few who can hold these new quantitative concepts in their heads as the equations are read out loud. If you think you can and somehow you've managed to get this far in life without already knowing the book's content, then go for it. For the rest, there are many books that are much better with theory and anecdote out there. I cannot recommend this book in the audio format.
"Not as Good as it Should Be"
I have read many of M.C. Beaton's books. I am not sure if I would read another Hamish book, though.
This needed a more plausible story line, more deeply developed characters, and less hopelessness.
The performance is fine but not as good as some of the narrators of earlier books. The accents would often slip and the narrator didn't seem to understand the characters.
It may be time for M.C. Beaton to quit writing Hamish books, and this book has all the hallmarks of a lead-up to a sendoff. I would anticipate that the next Hamish book has him fading into the sunset in some way, and that would probably be good. The author seems to have stopped liking Hamish and the Highlands. Her stories used to make me want to fly to Inverness immediately and hire a car to drive all around northern Scotland. Now she makes it sound simply drug-ridden, depressed, and dumpy. I don't know if the author is deeply bitter or if she's just lost interest, but if you are a Hamish fan, you might leave off with Death of a Chimney Sweep.
"Must not miss"
I agree with other reviewers who don't typically like Christie's short stories, but these are ones you should not miss. Rather than short stories, each is a mini-novel with fully-developed characters and well conceived mysteries. I put off getting this book to the very end, but there was no reason to do so. Hugh Fraser's narration is as good as ever, and the novella nature of each "chapter" allows me to listen to a story a night with ease. I really liked this book!
"Hard to care about an unlikable character"
I am an M.C. Beaton (Marion Chesney) fan, but this book did not live up to the expectations I have for her. It was competently written and had a plot that was a mild throwback to the comedy of errors genre, but the main male character was very hard to like or care about. As he developed, I grew to oppose the "romance" that was slowly evolving between the two main characters. He's a guy I would not want my sister to end up with, and I can't imagine why the female lead would want him. The mystery was fine, and I did finish the book, but this book is not in the class of Hamish Macbeth or even Agatha Raisin. Only okay.
"So many endings"
If you are a Hamish MacBeth fan, you already know that the author hates to say goodbye. Frequently, these books have a good 30 minutes or more after the murder is solved, and I often find the complete endings charming and satisfying. In Death of a Maid, however, there are just too many endings. This book is a fun read with an interesting plot, but the last hour has a "horror movie" quality in that the main story can't seem to die out so we can get the pleasing wrap up that we usually get. If you are listening to this whole series, you will be happy with this installment. If you are looking at this series for the first time, I'd suggest you not start here (Wikipedia has a good list of the Hamish MacBeth stories under the article on M.C. Beaton; take them in order). Either way, prepare yourself to have to say goodbye to this story at least three separate times!

2012: Monty, a Welsh Corgi belonging to Queen Elizabeth and the star of a recent Olympics-related James Bond short, has died at the age of thirteen. Descended from, a Corgi given to the Queen by her father on her eighteen birthday, Monty was regularly seen traveling with the Royal family, along with the Queen's two other Corgis and her three Dorgis, a Dachshund-Corgi mix. Corgis have become synonymous with the British royal family in recent years. The Daily Beast takes a look at the significance of Monty's death:
The palace declined to say whether or not Monty would be receiving a headstone, but, as 13-year old Monty was one of the Queen's oldest and most beloved dogs, it seems likely he will.
The death of Monty is particularly significant as he was previously owned by the Queen Mother before her death, and the Queen is known to take the deaths of her pets hard: Lady Pamela Hicks, the mother of India Hicks once wrote a note when one of the Queen's corgis died and received a six-page letter back.
"A dog isn't important, so she can express the really deep feelings she can't get out otherwise," said Lady Pamela.
1851: Dogs have been used to humanize royal women for centuries. In A Child's History of England, Charles Dickens recounted the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, ill-fated cousin of the first Queen Elizabeth. Mary's execution was a grim affair softened only by the presence of her most faithful companion:
Finally, one of her women fastened a cloth over her face, and she laid her neck upon the block, and repeated more than once in Latin, 'Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit!' Some say her head was struck off in two blows, some say in three. However that be, when it was held up, streaming with blood, the real hair beneath the false hair she had long worn was seen to be as grey as that of a woman of seventy, though she was at that time only in her forty-sixth year. All her beauty was gone.
But she was beautiful enough to her little dog, who cowered under her dress, frightened, when she went upon the scaffold, and who lay down beside her headless body when all her earthly sorrows were over.

Rockies' Tulowitzki headed to DL with broken rib
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - The Colorado Rockies' 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Thursday was literally painful.
Outfielders Carlos Gonzalez (foot) and Dexter Fowler (hand) and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (rib) suffered injuries during the game.
