Three running for council in Canton
By Melissa Vander Plas
Wednesday, October 31, 2012 6:04 AM
Three Canton residents will be seeking two city council seats on Tuesday during the general election. From left are candidates Carl Ernst, George Hafner and Cindy Shanks.
Candidate questions
Candidates for election answered four questions sent to them by the News-Record. Their answers are printed after the number corresponding with the following questions.
1. What has motivated you to file for this office? If you are an incumbent, please note how many years you have served and why you wish to continue.
2. Name one characteristic you have that has enabled or would enable you to be a valuable member of this office. Please explain.
3. In these difficult economic times, how would you prioritize the needs for the city?
4. Is there an upcoming issue that you feel needs to be addressed by the city?
Voters in Canton will find three names on the ballot for two city council seats. They will find the names of two incumbents seeking reelection, Carl Ernst and Cindy Shanks, as well as George Hafner, seeking a position on the council to represent residents in the upcoming years.
Carl Ernst
Carl Ernst is a welder and is married to Virginia. They have three sons.
1. As this election nears, I will have served on the Canton City Council for eight years. I think I have done a good job serving the city and hope the people have the trust in me to serve another four years.
2. I don't feel there is just one characteristic that a person has, it is many. You have to be able to learn and listen. Whether it is bad or good, then go from there to discuss and make a good decision at that point.
3. Canton's mayor and council do their best to deal with these economic times. There will be issues that have a higher priority than others but one can't always predict what problems will pop up. We do our best at trying to stay within our city budget from year to year.
4. Every issue needs to be addressed, on any given day something important may come up. The issues are dealt with every month at our council meeting. It is important to listen to the concerns of the people.
George Hafner
George Hafner is a heavy mobile equipment repair leader. He is married to Sabine Hafner and they have two daughters, Jennifer and Stephanie.
1. I was motivated to run for city council to bring new ideas and improvements to the city.
2. Honesty. I believe to be a valuable member of the council, one must be honest.
3. I would help decide with city members what needs the most attention around our city, help balance the city budget and prioritize funding for projects and start working on them.
4. With the possibility of a state bike trail coming to Canton, I believe that the bike route entering Canton may be an issue and may have to be addressed by the city.
Cindy Shanks
Cindy Shanks works in quality assurance. She is married to Michael and they have two children with spouses and three grandchildren.
1. I have served on the city council for 15 years. I enjoy working with the city and the people of Canton.
2. I have years of experience working with the public and the city council. I have been on various committees over the years and with the support from the people being on the committees or supporting us, we all have the same goal to help improve Canton.
3. As issues arise for the city, we as a council would discuss and decide what is in the best interest for the city. With the funding being cut more each year, as a small city we don't have a lot of options available for funding so we need to look towards grants that may be available to pursue to help make up for the loss of funding.
4. Nothing at this time.

2 ways to play copper's seasonal strength
The metal typically rises in the opening months of the year, and buyers should look to a particular copper ETN and stock.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
The copper market is watched closely as a barometer of the economy's health, and copper futures been active so far this week.
The recent report that China's imports of copper in December hit record levels has also caught many analysts' attention, even though some of the increase has been attributed to arbitrage in the futures market. The recent decline in China's inflation rate is also an encouraging sign.
Also bullish was a forecast from Alcoa (AA) expecting Chinese imports of copper to rise by 12% in 2012. John Person, an expert is seasonal commodity patterns, mentioned to me last month that we were entering a typically bullish period for copper prices.
- See also: The 4 Key Seasonal Trends for 2012
My analysis of the seasonal trend for copper futures (courtesy of Trade Navigator) does suggest that now is the time to be watching copper prices as well as a popular ETN and copper stock.
Chart Analysis: The weekly chart of the high-grade copper futures shows an uptrend from the October lows, line b. A close above the early-December highs in the March contract at $3.655 per pound would be a positive sign.
- There is further resistance at $3.770, line a
- The seasonal trend analysis dating back about 20 years reveals that prices typically turn higher in late December or early January (see broken downtrend)
- The initial peak generally comes in April, followed by a secondary high in July, which precedes a decline for the rest of the year
- There is key support for the March futures contract at $3.210-$3.230
The iPath DJ-UBS Copper Total Return Sub-Index ETN (JJC) is the most liquid of the exchange traded products that follow copper prices. It has assets of approximately $123 million and an expense ratio of 0.75%.
- JJC hit a high last July at $59.06 and found support in the $39 area last October
- Wednesday's close was just barely above the short-term downtrend, line a, with further resistance at $46.80
- The 50% Fibonacci retracement resistance level is at $50.40
- The flag formation (lines a and b) is more consistent with a continuation pattern or an interruption in the downtrend
- Therefore, higher prices need to be confirmed by a surge in volume, as the daily on-balance volume (OBV) is still below resistance from last July, line c
- The OBV is well above the lows formed in October
- There is now first support for JJC at $42.80-$43.40 and the uptrend, line b
Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO) engages in copper mining, exploration, and smelting in Peru, Chile, and Mexico. The company has been plagued by strikes over the past few years, but SCCO does pay a current yield of 9.0%. The dividend has fluctuated over the past 15 years.
- The daily chart shows that SCCO completed a reverse head-and-shoulders bottom formation, closing above the neckline (line d) last week
- The breakout level was tested before this week's high prices
- On the chart, I have identified the left shoulder (LS), head, and right shoulder (RS)
- The 50% Fibonacci retracement resistance from the early-2011 highs at $50.07 is at $36.60
- In this week's Trading Lesson, I will explain how to calculate the upside target from this formation, which is at $42
- The relative performance, or RS analysis, has failed to confirm the breakout, as it is still below the resistance at line e
- The OBV is still locked in a trading range, lines f and g. It needs to break out to the upside to confirm the price action
- There is initial support now at $29.80-$30.20 with key support at $27.50
What It Means: The copper market will bear close watching over the next month or so, and if it can confirm a new uptrend corresponding to the positive seasonal bias, it will have implications for many markets.
The failure of the volume to confirm the price action has me cautious on both JJC and SCCO, but the high current yield of SCCO makes it an attractive buy at stronger support.
How to Profit: For Southern Copper (SCCO), go 50% long at $30.28 and 50% long at $29.76 with a stop at $27.38 (risk of approx. 8.8%). On a move above $33.56, raise the stop to $29.76.

No Broads Allowed – Affiliate Marketers Fitness Challenge #10
[Update, January 21st] A quick note about the title, since we had someone asking about it who seemed put off by it. At the beginning of the show we noted that it was just us three guys and that none of the ladies that often appear on the show could make it this week. We joked that it was The All Guy Show, and that (sarcastically) nothing sells better than a fitness show hosted by a bunch of guys. The "no broads" thing was very tongue-in-cheek, as you can see by listening to the first little while of the episode. I chose "broads" because I didn't want to be offensive since we love the women who do the show with us, yet I was going for that kind of "alpha male, we don't need no broads around here!" kind of joke. That's it. Just a little light humor :)
The show this week is myself, Greg Hoffman and Kevin Webster. Kevin has been a member of our private Facebook group for quite a while but is making his AMFC debut this week!
We kicked off with Kevin's backstory – where he's coming from, what his fitness and health goals are and what he hopes to get out of the group. Like several of us, he's aiming for dropping about 25-30 pounds or so.
Greg brought us up to speed on his surgery rehab, I described the cycle of depression that I went through at the end of 2011, and then we moved on to the main topic of the week: Affiliate Summit West 2012 in Las Vegas. The climate, the restaurant food, the illnesses, the walking… there's a lot to talk about!
Our recommendation? You should probably skip Serendipity 3 outside of Caesar's Palace.
We have a great discussion about alcohol in the last segment of the show. To wit, here is Greg's recipe for a new drink called the Shawn Collins (it's like a Tom Collins):
1 1/2 oz bourbon
We finished up talking about JensonUSA and their excellent selection of bikes and bicycle equipment. Go check 'em out. (Follow-up… I actually did get on the bike after recording this episode. Woot!)
Thanks for listening!

Texturing Grump's Hair Using Selection Sets in Modo
Simon Hodgkiss, Technical Director.
Hi! Simon Hodgkiss here from Rockkiss DME and I wanted to take you through some of the techniques I use when creating hair and fur in Modo. We use Luxology's Modo (www.luxology.com) as one of our 3D renderers. We use it for most of our rendering jobs whether it is a hairy Grump from our latest project 'Grump's Quest', a scary bug in 'Metamorphosis' or a smiley Lego character. Its ease of use as well as it's interactive rendering makes it the perfect tool for our pipeline. It's also a very fast ray tracer, one of the fastest out there today. One of Modo's other strengths is it's lighting system which behaves as real world lights do so lighting material in Modo is very fast, powerful and accurate without the need in most cases for lots of passes and adjustment in comp.
And so to Grump…the base model was created inside XSI one of the 3D applications we use at the studio, we also use Maya too but we find we can work faster in XSI. Once the block modeling is done in XSI and the UV's are laid out we then take the model into ZBrush where finer detail and sculpting can be done and from that model we spit out a set of displacement maps which we can use at final render time.
Now we are rendering hair for different areas such as the moustache, the beard and the head hair but also do not want to inherit any settings from the skin shading, I have used selection sets. Selection sets are handy tools for isolating areas of geometry and I created a set for each area that I wanted to isolate. These act as layers on top of any existing shaders and are created using additional groups in Modo.
With these selection sets I can then go into the render tree and create individual groups for each selection set. This enables me to have an individual material for each of these areas of hair and full control over the individual looks. Each group has a material that controls the colour, a fur material for the actual hair and a gradient which controls the transparency of the hair from the root to the tip.
Having created the actual hair which we shall go into in a future tutorial, I can then adjust the look of each area of hair as I see fit. The great thing is this is a very easy to use setup and if you keep your render tree tidy with relevant naming conventions then it is also very easy to see what is what. In fact that is golden rule - KEEP IT TIDY!
Hope this short blog has been of interest and check out the video for this tutorial plus updates on our Kickstarter of Grump's Quest at www.rockkiss.co.uk/Projects_Grumps_Quest.html
Thanks and see you next time!

Back-to-back victories in hand, Romney looks ahead while Gingrich regroups
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Now it's on to Colorado, Minnesota and Maine.
With back-to-back victories fueling him, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is looking toward the next states that hold GOP nominating contests as main rival Newt Gingrich brushes aside any talk of abandoning his White House bid -- all but ensuring the battle will stretch into the spring if not beyond.
Shortly after losing big to Romney here, the former House speaker emphatically renewed his vow to campaign into the party convention in Tampa this summer. His goal, he said, was to "find a series of victories which by the end of the Texas primary will leave us at parity" with Romney by early April.
Next up to vote are Colorado and Minnesota, which both hold caucuses Tuesday. Maine follows on Saturday during a month that promises to be as plodding as January was rapid-fire in the presidential race.
Romney will look to maintain his position of strength, if not build upon it, as his rivals continue working to derail him even as their options for doing so narrow with each victory he notches.
Analysis: Romney's big Nevada win narrows options for his rivals
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Mitt Romney's decisive victory in Nevada was never much in doubt. He won the state's caucuses four years ago, kept his organization active and he could count on support from Mormons who made up a quarter of caucus goers this year.
But the former Massachusetts governor's win here, coupled with his enormous Florida victory just days ago, proved Republicans have begun to coalesce around his candidacy in earnest. He swept nearly every voting group in Nevada including those that have been slow to come aboard, such as tea party activists and voters who describe themselves as extremely conservative.
And that spells trouble for his remaining rivals who now face a stark question: How do they stop him?
It's becoming increasingly difficult for Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum to break through. All trail Romney in money, momentum and organization in upcoming states. And with a calendar of primaries and caucuses favorable to Romney just ahead, no one else has a clear path to the nomination.
"February is really the death march for second and third tier candidates," Republican strategist Rich Galen said. "If Romney sweeps February, the arc of his effort will be so strong, for most Republicans it will be over."
Russia, China draw criticism from Arabs, Turkey; Tunisia urges cutting Syria ties
MUNICH (AP) -- The Russian and Chinese veto of a U.N. resolution aimed at ending Syria's bloodshed drew stinging criticism from Arab and Turkish officials on Sunday, and Tunisia's prime minister said that cutting ties with the Syrian regime is the "least that we can do."
Moscow and Beijing used their veto in the U.N. Security Council on Saturday, amid international outrage over a devastating bombardment of the city of Homs by President Bashar Assad's forces.
Their vote came shortly after Tunisia, the country whose uprising launched the past year's upheaval in the Arab world, decided to expel Syria's ambassador.
At a gathering of security officials in Germany, Qatar's minister for international cooperation said Arab nations had addressed Russia's fears.
"We say there will not be a military intervention, there will not be removal of the regime, and the economic embargo (is) optional to the Arab states," Khaled al-Attiyah said at the Munich Security Conference.
Car bomb explodes in middle of southern Afghan city of Kandahar, killing 7
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) -- A car bomb exploded just outside the police headquarters of a southern Afghanistan city on Sunday, killing at least seven people, officials said.
The blast went off at a parking lot outside the police building in Kandahar, said Faisal Ahmad, a spokesman for the provincial government. Five police officers and two civilians were killed, and least 21 people were wounded, he added.
The blast was large enough that it shattered windows in nearby buildings. It appeared the bomb was in a parked vehicle and was remotely detonated, said Zalmai Ayubi, another government spokesman.
NATO forces helped secure the area as Afghan police carried the wounded to ambulances and loaded the bodies of the dead into the back of a pickup truck. The street outside the building was spattered with blood. A hawker's sheet of cardboard loaded with sunglasses lay abandoned in the road surrounded by charred debris.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Venice in rebellion against cruise ship intrusions following Costa Concordia disaster
VENICE, Italy (AP) -- It's a matter of perspective. From aboard a 12-deck cruise liner, the sight of St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace and Bridge of Sighs gliding past from a cabin balcony is a breathtaking thrill.
But against the backdrop of Venice's storied canals and Byzantine architecture, these floating condominiums present a jarring sight, out of scale and sync with the surroundings.
The fatal grounding of the Costa Concordia off the Tuscan coast has sharpened the focus on the largely unchecked boom of these ever-larger luxury liners, and nowhere more so than in Venice, a fragile city already struggling against mass tourism and the steady deterioration of its underwater foundations.
There's growing clamor for an urgent rethink to the expanding cruise liner traffic through Venice's historic center. Critics point not only to a threat of accidents, but also air and water pollution, and the injection of an additional 2 million more tourists a year into a city already under constant siege.
The city wants to reroute cruise ships arriving in Venice so they stay farther from St. Mark's and other prominent monuments as a possible step toward keeping them out of the lagoon altogether. And UNESCO, the U.N. culture organization, charges that the liners cause water tides that erode building foundations and pollute waterways.
Navy officials say 8 sailors discharged for hazing aboard amphibious assault ship in San Diego
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Eight sailors have been discharged from the Navy after a hazing incident aboard a San Diego-based amphibious assault ship that was captured on video and included the choking of a fellow sailor, a Navy spokesman said Saturday.
The eight received general discharges following allegations they assaulted and choked the sailor aboard the ship, the Bonhomme Richard, as part of a rite to initiate the sailor into a new department, said Lt. Commander David McKinney.
McKinney said the assault, which took place Jan. 17 in the ship's berthing area, was videotaped, and the victim treated for injuries.
"He was choked out, evidently blacked out and had bruising," said McKinney.
The injuries were not serious, but the sailor sought treatment and reported the incident to his superiors, leading to the discharges, McKinney said.
Family of 3 mushroom pickers rescued after 6 days lost in Oregon forest
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Three mushroom pickers took refuge in a hollowed out tree after getting lost in an Oregon forest, fighting wintry chills for six days and drinking water from streams until a helicopter pilot spotted them.
Belinda and Daniel Conne, along with their 25-year-old son, Michael, managed to reach a clearing Saturday, where the searchers saw them several miles outside the community of Gold Beach, roughly 330 miles south-southwest of Portland.
"It's a miracle, really," Curry County Sheriff John Bishop said.
Until their rescue, the cold and hungry family had been unable to signal search helicopters flying low and slow overhead.
The three were airlifted to a Gold Beach hospital, where Bishop spoke with them at an emergency room. He said the Connes told him they could see search helicopters just a few hundred feet above them while they were lost but had nothing to signal them with through the thick, coastal forest vegetation.
'Tebowing' Alec Baldwin hosts NFL Honors; gets big laughs, but steers clear of politics
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Trying to do his best "Tebowing," Alec Baldwin got a bit of help on stage.
The host of "NFL Honors" on NBC was kneeling down when Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow stepped up and showed Baldwin how it's really done.
"Bless you, Tim," Baldwin responded.
That capped a nearly 10-minute monologue Saturday night on the eve of the Super Bowl as The Associated Press awards for the 2011 season were announced.
Baldwin started by walking into the glittery crowd, handing a football to Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers and asking the AP NFL Most Valuable Player to sign it.
NC Police: Stun gun used on woman who cut in line at McDonalds drive-thru, blocked customers
HOPE MILLS, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina deputies say they used a stun gun on a woman who blocked a McDonalds drive-thru for 20 minutes after employees refused to serve her because she broke in line.
Authorities say 37-year-old Evangeline Lucca bypassed the order screen and the line at the restaurant in Hope Mills, about 60 miles south of Raleigh, and pulled directly up to the pick-up window Friday afternoon.
Cumberland County deputies say employees refused to take her order and told her to go to the back of the line. She refused to move, and police were called.
Authorities say Lucca was shocked after she blocked the line for 20 minutes. Her 3-year-old daughter was taken into protective custody.
Lucca was charged with second-degree trespass. A phone listing for her couldn't be found.
Curtis Martin, Cortez Kennedy, Dermontti Dawson, Doleman, Roaf make Pro Football Hall of Fame
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Curtis Martin has gone from the mean streets of Pittsburgh to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The star running back with the Patriots and Jets for 11 seasons was one of six players elected Saturday to the shrine. Martin once disliked playing the game, but used it to escape a neighborhood where his grandmother was murdered.
"When I get awarded something like the Hall of Fame, it's almost foreign to me," said Martin, the NFL's No. 4 career rusher. "This wasn't something I planned on doing. Football is something I did so I didn't end up jailed or dead.
"If you make up your mind to just do the right thing no matter what ... and you stick to it, which I did, this is how things can turn around. I feel as if my life turned around from what it used to be, and I think anyone has a chance."
Martin and four linemen were elected to the hall, along with one senior committee choice. He is joined by Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Willie Roaf, Dermontti Dawson, and senior selection Jack Butler.

Tax prospects for 2013November 26,2012In just over a month the 2013 Legislature will convene, and a large question will as usual be where will we get the money to pay for all this?
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding has tasked the agency secretaries to submit General Fund budget requests that maintain current services, and add on any new initiatives separately. Unlike, say, rebuilding the Champlain Bridge, General Fund expenditures just keep rolling on year after year, growing with more people, depreciated dollars, new political demands, and governors thinking up new things to spend tax dollars on. Those agency requests are likely to produce a FY2014 budget gap of $50-70 million
Five years ago Senate President Peter Shumlin, already marching toward the governorship, repeatedly declared We are spending too much, and have used up our tax capacity There is no more money in the bank . We are tapped out.
Since that time Shumlin has nonetheless discovered all sorts of General Fund tax capacity, and proposed or enacted all sorts of new taxes. Heres a partial list: Higher taxes on hospitals, nursing homes, and visiting nurse services; tobacco; electric bills (Efficiency Vermont); health insurance claims; and the $21 million pilfered from the CVPS ratepayers to finance his favorite renewable energy subsidy programs, notably the Clean Energy Development Fund..
This list does not include the $27.5 million penalty tax on the Education Fund, because local voters failed to heed the Governors urging to restrain their school budgets. Nor does it include the two cent increase in both school property taxes, to raise the education money to compensate for the penalty tax.
So the tightfisted Senate leader of 2007 has since found lots more tax capacity, and numerous new ways to spend it, if he can get the bills passed by his hitherto largely compliant Legislature.
There is plenty of pressure to accelerate General Fund spending. The entire Vermont labor movement and their many allies, chanting Put People First, are vocally demanding that state government spend lots more to meet every persons need for health, housing, dignified work, education, food, social security and healthy environment.
This is clearly impossible, but Shumlin himself has committed to single payer Green Mountain Care in 2017.
Reducing state spending, aside from completed Tropical Storm Irene repairs, is not an acceptable option for a liberal majority. So where can Governor No More Tax Capacity go to find the money to fuel all the states obligations and his ambitions?
Raising income taxes on the rich is not a good bet. The Tax Foundation reported last month that Vermont in 2010 had the 13th highest state and local tax burden, a finding that the Shumlin administration concedes is pretty close to the truth. Taxing the incomes of people who make a lot of money is an obvious stimulus for them to make and spend it somewhere else. Also, Shumlin himself has boasted of reducing income tax rates in 1999 and 2009 (in both cases disproportionately benefiting high income taxpayers, although he never mentions that).
The short list of potential new taxes comes down to some form of carbon tax on fossil fuel energy (proposed by Shumlin in 2008), extending the sales and use tax to services (offered earlier this year by Speaker Shap Smith, who is now backing off), and a General Fund penalty tax of up to $276 million on the Education Fund, that translates into higher school property taxes. Green Mountain Care, if and when it happens, will almost certainly require stiff new payroll taxes, so that source cant be tapped now to meet other demands.
Of course the Shumlin administration, staring the facts in the face, could relieve a lot of people by telling them and the union red shirts that 2013 will be the year of Putting Solvency First. That thought brings to mind that popular Buddy Holly song of 1958, Thatll Be the Day .

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Many Wisconsinites have started filing their federal and state income tax returns – especially those getting refunds.
Madison tax accountant Mike Scholz says your refund should be about the same as last year, if your income didn't change much. That's because the withholding tables did not change, and the tax rates stayed the same.
The state Revenue Department said the average refund totaled $685 a year ago. And about 80 percent of individual returns were filed online – one of the highest percentages in the nation.
Besides the Internet services, officials say they're offering a free mobile app for the first time. Smartphone users can check the status of their refunds, and find a volunteer tax assistance site if they need one.
About 3 million state tax returns are expected to be filed between now and April 15th.
Scholz tells the Wisconsin State Journal that there were not many tax changes for 2012, but there are a few. Workers who don't pay health insurance with pre-tax dollars can deduct 45 percent of their payments, up from the old 25 percent. Deductions have also risen for child and dependent care expenses.
More tuition can be deducted this year, and a number of new business tax credits take effect. Also, casino gamblers who win big won't have to pay taxes on the winnings if they go on to lose a similar amount in the same session. But Scholz says they'll need to have proof of the activity.

Capital One To Expand With $2.6B HSBC Deal
August 10, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 10 (UPI) — Capital One Financial said Wednesday it had agreed to buy the U.S. credit card division from HSBC for about $2.6 billion in a cash and stock deal.
The deal is not expected to close until the second quarter of 2012, Capital One said in a statement. The firm said the acquisition was "an excellent fit," with the firm's credit card business.
"The transaction delivers compelling long-term shareholder value, as it is expected to improve Capital One's earnings and long-term capital generation trajectory," the statement said.
The deal would result in a reduction of about $350 million in operating costs, the firms said.
HSBC currently has a $30 billion U.S. credit card portfolio.
HSBC recently said it would lay off 30,000 employees as part of a restructuring process that would cut costs by $3.5 billion

Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982)
Alternate title: Fast Times
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
5 Readers' Reviews
April 23rd, 20109:32 pm
This movie is a true classic starring some of todays biggest stars. Sean Penn "Mystic River" stars as Jeff Spicolli the surfer/stoner dude and Jennifer Jason Leigh "Single White Female" plays Stacey the sweet and innocent looking girl who has a wild side. Other future stars like Judge Reinhold "Stripes" Eric Stoltz "Prophecy" and Nicholos Cage "Face/Off" are in this great classic comedy of teenagers living in California and dealing with teenage drama of High School yeah this brings back memories. A screenplay written by Cameron Crowe director of "Almost Famous" and "Jerry Maguire" is masterful. Crowe does an excellent job blending comedy with drama to get one great movie. 5 stars go to this rad high school picture.

Sadly, this movie is remembered primarily as a "Teen Sex Comedy", and is lumped into that genre with countless lesser movies. There's certainly sex and nudity in it, but it is not there merely for the titillation. It's there because the makers of Fast Times showed the world as it really was through the eyes of suburban teenagers in 1982. Working at the mall, or a fast food place, was a rite of passage. And so were embarrassing and uncomfortable early sexual experiences.
Parents are seldom around in Fast Times. Instead, most adults encountered outside of school are abusive customers or abusive managers. Teachers are sometimes caring but always out of touch.
Yet the movie is a comedy, and quite a good one. Spicoli's pizza, Brad's pirate hat, Linda's forgetting to knock. All classic stuff.
If you lived through those days, this movie will bring it all back with surprising clarity. If you're a teenager, watch this to see what your parents were up to back in the day. You may have more in common than you think.

Remembering that the movie was made in 1982 and that Cameron Crowe's dialogue was taken from what he overheard while attending school incognito, what we should be learning is that "kids" had their own little world then and they have it now too. That they are emotionally incomplete makes this movie all the more sensitive if one remembers to look at it that way. Part of what should be extracted from this flick is what to think about when parenting and how to talk to "kids." It has insight into their world, even a generation after it was made.

Insta classic. The NYT review is pretty dead on but how could Janet Maslin know how relevant it would feel to a high schooler when it came out? And what the cast has gone on to do? One of those examples of superior casting of then-unknowns. Amazing.

The team snapped a three-game losing streak as it started a five-game West Coast roadtrip.
But, more importantly, it may have given the franchise and its fans a badly needed jolt of adrenaline.
Second-year center Nik Vucevic, who had struggled recently, scored 17 points, collected 12 rebounds and blocked four shots. Rookie big man Kyle O'Quinn, a second-round draft pick, scored six points in about eight minutes.
The Magic dished out 34 assists, a season-high.
"That's the first thing I mentioned to those guys after the game," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "We played for each other, and we played with each other, and that was great from beginning to end."
One of Howard's reasons for wanting a trade was that he wanted to play in a bigger market. Los Angeles provides that. Sunday's game lured an announced crowd of 18,997, which included actor Will Ferrell, soccer star David Beckham, actor Johnny Galecki, actress Regina King and baseball Hall of Famer Frank Robinson.
Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, and Howard's manager, Kevin Samples, watched the game from seats along a baseline, just a few feet from the Magic bench.
No one on Orlando's roster complained afterward that Howard didn't shake hands after the final buzzer sounded.
"That's fine," Nelson said. "Certain guys don't shake hands after the game.
"I don't have any hard feelings to the guy. He made a decision to do what he did. He's on the team that he's on. I'm here in Orlando, where I want to be. I just wish him the best of luck. I'm not going to go up and hug him and kiss him or anything like that. I think my coach would be mad at me."
Orlando's win doesn't change the big picture for the Magic (6-10) or the Lakers (8-9).
The Magic will remain in rebuilding mode.
The Lakers will remain contenders in the Western Conference, albeit contenders who continue to be frustrated by injuries to Steve Nash and Steve Blake and by losses to teams they should beat.
"There's no magic potion," said their new coach, Mike D'Antoni. "Again, we know what the problem is. Defensively, we just weren't good tonight."
For the Magic, some of their most effective defense came when they fouled Howard as he jogged or walked upcourt following changes of possession.
"I didn't have a script coming into the game," Vaughn said. "I think the game played itself and such that we, as a coaching staff, were able to use our fouls wisely."
The Magic wound up beating Howard — and they did it in a way that embarrassed him.
One Orlando fan who sat several rows up from the court yelled, "How's it feel, Dwight?"
One Lakers fan sounded frustrated with the Hack-a-Howard tactic as he walked out of the seating bowl. "We came to see a basketball game," he grumbled.
In his postgame Q-and-A with reporters, Howard was asked whether his first matchup against his former team closed a chapter with the Magic.
"The chapter was closed when I got traded," Howard said.
If that's the case, then what happened Sunday night at least provided an uplifting epilogue for the Magic and for their email@example.com

The item first appeared before the council on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
According to the ordinance, up to six chickens can be kept in one residential parcel. Roosters are not allowed. A coop must be kept 15 feet from any property line and 10 feet from an inhabitable building. The coop must be kept behind a solid wall or a fence and have at least four square feet for each chicken cared for. The chickens will need to be kept in a sanitary and healthy condition. Chicken feed will need to be stored in a rodent proof container, according to the new measure.
According to a city staff report provided by City Planner Joel Andrews, the city currently allows dogs, cats, miniature pot-bellied pigs and any other animals continuously confined within a cage, terrarium or aquarium within a residence.
Councilman Dominic Farinha advocated for the new ordinance, saying some people are not meant to be dog or cat owners, but could own chickens.
"I'm someone that feels strongly about animal advocacy," Farinha said. "There is a growing trend toward chickens; 150 cities in California currently allow them."
Farinha said he believed that owning chickens didn't create a nuisance.
"There are not bad pets, just bad pet owners," he said.

Recommendation 4.6: Establishment of national scientific inventories of potential Ramsar sites
4th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties
Montreux, Switzerland
27 June-4 July 1990
NOTING the criteria for the identification of wetlands of international importance, formally adopted at Cagliari, revised at Regina and further revised by the present Conference;
RECOGNISING the value of establishing national scientific inventories of wetlands on the basis of these criteria for improving the general level of knowledge on the world's wetlands and for facilitating the designation of sites for the List;
ACKNOWLEDGING the progress achieved in many countries towards the development of wetland conservation policies and the increasing awareness, among national, regional and local authorities responsible for water management and land use, of the necessity to conserve wetlands;
CONVINCED that the establishment of inventories carried out on the basis of the best scientific information available at both national and international level constitutes the most effective method to achieve the designation for the List of the largest possible number of sites;
CONSIDERING that REC. 1.4, REC. 2.3 and REC. 3.1 should therefore be supplemented by the following recommendation:
RECOMMENDS that Contracting Parties establish, as far as possible in collaboration with competent national and international bodies, national scientific inventories of wetlands showing, in particular, those which are of international importance according to the criteria adopted by the Conference of the Parties; and
REQUESTS the Bureau to promote the development of these inventories by Contracting Parties and to assist those Contracting Parties that may request it in implementing this recommendation.

Mats Zuccarello arrived at Madison Square Garden roughly three hours before Sunday night's contest against the Islanders---his first for the Rangers since being recalled from the Connecticut Whale earlier in the day. And it didn't take Zuccarello long to make his mark with the Blueshirts again as the popular forward from Norway earned one assist and helped ignite the Rangers power play, which tallied three times on Sunday.
Zuccarello was credited after the game by his coach and teammates for his consistently strong effort on the Rangers top power play unit---which consisted of him, Brian Boyle, Marian Gaborik, Brad Richards, and Anton Stralman.
"I think Zucc made some subtle plays, smart spread plays," explained Rangers head coach John Tortorella. "He made plays we honestly haven't seen, and I think some guys were surprised by his passes. he certainly helped us tonight."
Brad Richards was also impressed with Zuccarello's play.
"He's a smart player, and with that much open ice (on the power play) he's a very effective players," Richards said of Zuccarello. "I think it's great they used him (on the power play) because he's a heady player, doesn't panic with (the puck)."
Overall Zuccarello logged 10 minutes 40 seconds worth of ice-time in the game---6:34 of which was on the power play. He recorded one shot on goal and assisted on Richards' second goal of the contest in the second period.
"I felt really good out there, and the power play really clicked tonight," said Zuccarello. "Every time you get out there you want to do your best, even if you play 20 minutes or ten minutes. All I can do is do my best and see how it goes. I can't do anything more than that. It felt good today, and we'll see how it goes."
