On south Texas ranchland, when a longhorn and a rattlesnake cross paths it usually results in a fight to the death. At Laredo's Student Activity Center (the SAC) Friday night, it was a fight to the gridiron death as the Laredo United Longhorns' and the Sharyland Rattlers' paths crossed in the first round of the Class 5-A Division 1 playoffs. The winner earning the right to move on to the next round of the state playoffs and the loser having their otherwise successful season come to a much too sudden end.
In what turned out to be an unusually cool evening in Bordertown Laredo, it didn't take the Longhorns long to get their vaunted offense on track once they received the opening kickoff. With 3,000 yard passer Alec Salas at quarterback, they methodically drove the ball 80 yards down the field on their very first possession. Running back Derek Esparza capped off the Longhorn drive when he scored his first touchdown of the game and quickly gave the Longhorns a 7 – 0 lead.
The Rattlers responded in kind on their second possession when Estefan Castillo took the handoff from quarterback Tres Barrera and ran the ball into the endzone tying the score at 7 with less than a minute to go in the first quarter. As the opening quarter came to an end with the score still 7 – 7, who would've guessed that before the night would be done the Longhorns and the Rattlers would combine to score over 100 points.
The Longhorns' Billy Williams broke the tie when he scored on a three yard run with 11:17 to go in the second quarter. Later in the same period, Derek Esparza gave the Longhorns their biggest lead of the game when he eluded the Rattlers' defenders to score a rushing touchdown from inside the 5 yard line.
With 8 minutes to go in the second quarter and with the score still 21 – 7 Longhorns, the Rattlers took advantage of good field position on their next possession to drive the ball 58 yards down the field and score their second touchdown of the game on a 16 yard pass from quarterback Tres Barrera to Estefan Castillo. Castillo's second touchdown of the game made the score Longhorns 21 - Rattlers 14.
Later in the second quarter, the Rattlers converted on a 4th down and 22 to set up a 6 yard touchdown run by quarterback Tres Barrera. With the score tied at 21 and with only 48 seconds to go in the first half it looked as if the Longhorns and the Rattlers would go into the intermission all knotted up. However, with a gusty wind at their backs the Longhorns scored on a 48 yard field goal as time ran out in the second quarter to make the score Longhorns 24 - Rattlers 21 at the half.
On their first possession of the second half the Rattlers took their first lead of the game when quarterback Tres Barrera and receiver Estefan Castillo connected on a 27 yard touchdown pass. This made the score Rattlers 28 - Longhorns 24.
As the second half continued, the lead changed hands five times as both teams scored touchdowns on each possession. Then with only 5:04 let in the game, and with the Longhorns leading the Rattlers by a score of 45 - 42, the Longhorns defense stiffened and forced the Rattlers into a 4th down deep in their own territory. As the Rattlers' punting team prepared to turn the ball over on downs, a high snap from center sailed over the punter's head and resulted in a Longhorns' touchdown. The Longhorns went on to score one more touchdown, as time was running out in the game, and with their final points coming on a two point conversion they defeated the Rattlers by a score of 60 – 42.
In what was a much closer and hard fought game than the final score indicated, the Sharyland Rattlers went into enemy territory and gave the Laredo United Longhorns all they could handle. As Sharyland Athletic Director Richard Thompson said, "This was an awesome game with two great teams going at it".
As the stands quickly emptied and the stadium lights were turned down, the Rattlers' players and coaches remained on the field. As they huddled together, and some fought back the tears, they knew they had given their all. Unfortunately, on the day set aside to honor our veterans, it was the Longhorns who emerged as the victors in this fight to the gridiron death.

Dear Roze:
I work for a guy who is so unaware of his weaknesses. One of the biggest is his inability to accept the fact that one of his employees may have a better idea or solution to a problem than he does. Recently, I disagreed with him on the amount of data to give one of our clients I'm responsible for. We went with what he wanted to give them, but the client complained and asked for the amount of data I thought we should have pitched to them. Like always, my boss couldn't acknowledge I was right, that I knew what was best for my client. I think he should be pleased with the fact I'm aware of and understand my client's needs. I don't need constant praise or accolades; it's just that he will always dismiss an idea if it's contrary to what he has proposed or what he thinks should be done. If this only happened once in awhile, it wouldn't be so bad, but this is a regular occurrence and has been for many years. I need to know how my colleagues and I can get him to see the flaws in his decisions and be more open-minded and supportive of us.
Disgusted with dismissive boss
Dear Disgusted with dismissive boss:
As you are well aware, this is far from being a healthy boss/employee work relationship. As much as it would be ideal for your boss to be able to recognize his foibles and the value of your and your colleagues' opinions when they do not align with his, it appears that will rarely, if ever, be the way your boss handles things.
I suggest you deal with this situation with kid gloves; you do not want to jeopardize your job. Since your boss has been like this for many years, I would continue to give him your ideas and points of view but always be sure to accompany them with supporting documentation and/or information, and, of course, always do it with utmost respect for him, his ideas, and points of view. Hopefully, there will be times when he accepts yours and your colleagues'. And if there comes a time when you can no longer handle his behavior, there is nothing wrong with looking for another job.
Wishing you the best!
Dear Roze:
I'm seriously thinking about leaving my job in Hampton Roads so I can move back to my hometown in the western part of the state. My hometown is a lot smaller than Hampton Roads, so I may have to put up with a commute to Roanoke or even D.C. for a decent job. I'm writing you because I'd like your input about my action plan. I will be going home over the holidays and plan to put my feelers out to see what if anything is available. If it looks like the move could be feasible for me, I'll update my resume after the holidays and send it out to prospective employers in the beginning of the New Year. What do you think?
Making plans for new job back home
Dear Making plans for new job back home:
I love that you are planning ahead, but update your resume NOW! When you are back home reconnecting with old friends and acquaintances; making new contacts; and looking at places for possible employment, you want to be able to give or email your resume to those who ask for it right away. Oftentimes, people think no one is thinking about work or hiring over the holidays, but that is just not the case. And even if a company or organization does not have a job opening at the time you are talking to individuals associated with them, if they are on the ball and impressed with you, there is a good possibility they will ask you for a copy of your resume.
Best of luck!

LAWRENCEVILLE - Results on Gwinnett's in-house promotional exam improved in all but one category this year.Passing scores on the Gateway test are required of more than 19,000 fourth- and seventh-graders before they can continue on to the next grade. Fourth-graders had the best passing rate, with 98.2 percent of students showing proficiency on their language arts exam. That number is up slightly from last year's results. But fourth-graders dipped below last year's math score, with 91.8 percent passing the test, compared with 93 percent last year. Among seventh-graders, 97.5 percent passed the language arts exam, up 1 percent from last year's test-takers. The math test had 86.9 percent of students pass, up from 85.8 percent a year ago. Linda Mitchell, the executive director for student accountability, assessment and advisement, said the district was pleased it had improved its scores as more and more students enter the Gwinnett County Public Schools. "Our teachers are doing just a really fantastic job getting our kids moving in up to speed," she said. "We're engaging more students we used to not require." While more than 22,000 students took the test, 9,646 fourth-graders and 9,955 seventh-graders were required to pass the math and language arts exam this year. Some students with Individualized Education Plans and those who do not speak English as a first language take the test, but are not required to pass it. Their promotion hinges on recommendations from a student support team. The test has both multiple-choice and open-ended questions, Mitchell said, and allows students to practice writing about what they have learned. "We believe since its inception, the test has made a tremendous impact on what teachers are doing in the classroom," she said. The test began in 2000. Students who have no grade below a "C" in their classes but who fail one of the Gateway sections are subject to a review to see if they should be promoted anyway. Mitchell said factors such as a move or a death in the family can affect student performance on the exam. This year, 194 students fell into that category. The system recommended that 79 of them go to summer school, which the district offers free of charge, in preparation for taking the test again. Mitchell said that number appeared slightly higher than normal. An additional 84 students had the test waived, but were recommended for summer school, while 31 students who failed a portion of the test will be promoted and do not need to go to summer school. The district's Academic Intervention Program, as it is known, will be held June 26 through July 17. Gateway retests are July 12 for language arts and July 16 for math, with a science and social studies test July 11. The Gateway exam is an internal test used by the Gwinnett County Public Schools to determine promotion to the next grade level. More than 19,000 students took this year's test.

Sherine Abdel Wahab files for divorce
After a five year marriage, Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel Wahab separated from her husband, composer Mohammad Mustafa. Apparently they ended it on good terms and Sherine says she's keen to stay friends with her ex-husband.
According to the London-based Elaph, the pair had been having marriage problems for years despite Sherine consistently denying the rumors: she told doubters that their love could withstand any obstacle.
Sherine revealed that during their marriage, she stood by Mohammad's side when he experienced health problems and he had also stood by her side and helped get through problems she faced in her career.
The details of the divorce, which was a shock to the entertainment world, have not been revealed and Sherine and Mohammad have both turned their cell phones off to avoid having to deal with the media.

If a woman with genital herpes has virus present in the birth canal during delivery, herpes simplex virus (HSV) can be spread to an infant, causing neonatal herpes, a serious and sometimes fatal condition. Neonatal herpes can cause an overwhelming infection resulting in lasting damage to the central nervous system, mental retardation, or death. Medication, if given early, may help prevent or reduce lasting damage, but even with antiviral medication, this infection has serious consequences for most infected infants.
While neonatal herpes is a serious condition, it is also very rare. Less than 0.1% of babies born in the United States each year get neonatal herpes. By contrast, some 25-30% of pregnant women have genital herpes. This means that most women with genital herpes give birth to healthy babies.
Babies are most at risk for neonatal herpes if the mother contracts genital herpes late in pregnancy. This is because a newly infected mother does not have antibodies against the virus, so there is no natural protection for the baby during birth. In addition, a new herpes infection is frequently active, so there is an increased possibility the virus will be present in the birth canal during delivery.
Women who acquire genital herpes before they become pregnant have a very low risk of transmitting the virus to their babies. This is because their immune systems make antibodies that are temporarily passed to the baby through the placenta. Even if herpes is active in the birth canal during delivery, the antibodies help protect the baby. In addition, if a mother knows she has genital herpes, her doctor or midwife can take steps to protect the baby.
Herpes can also be spread to the baby in the first weeks of life if he or she is kissed by someone with an active cold sore (oral herpes). In rare instances, herpes may be spread by touch, if someone touches an active cold sore and then immediately touches the baby. Again, simple precautions can be taken to protect an infant from this type of exposure. To protect your baby, don't kiss him or her when you have a cold sore, and ask others not to. If you have a cold sore, wash your hands before touching the baby.
If you are pregnant and you have genital herpes, you may be concerned about the risk of spreading the infection to your baby. Be reassured that the risk is extremely small—especially if you have had herpes for some time. The following steps can help make the risk even smaller:
The odds are strongly in favor of your having a healthy baby.
Many women wonder about taking antiviral medication during pregnancy to suppress outbreaks in the third trimester. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved no drug against herpes for this purpose. Nonetheless, acyclovir is used by some physicians to treat women with genital herpes at the end of pregnancy. Small studies suggest that acyclovir taken daily during the last month of pregnancy will prevent recurrences and, therefore, decrease the need for Cesarean sections, but some experts remain concerned about the safety of fetal exposure to the medication.
At the present time, acyclovir's manufacturer does not recommend its use during pregnancy. On the other hand, the company has tracked the experiences of several hundred women who took the drug during pregnancy, some of them inadvertently, and the evidence to date suggests that acyclovir does not carry increased risk of birth defects or adverse pregnancy outcome. On the strength of this data, the use of daily, suppressive treatment during the last month of pregnancy is becoming increasingly common.
The greatest risk of neonatal herpes is to babies whose mothers contract a genital infection late in pregnancy. While this is a rare occurrence, it does happen, and can cause a serious, even life-threatening, illness for the baby. The best way you can protect your baby is to know the facts about HSV and how to protect yourself. The first step may be finding out whether you already carry the virus.
You can talk to your healthcare provider about testing for genital herpes. If you test negative for genital herpes, but your partner has genital or oral herpes, you may acquire it unless you take steps to prevent transmission. The following steps can help protect you from getting an infection during pregnancy:
If you experience genital symptoms, or believe you have been exposed to genital HSV, tell your obstetrician or midwife at once. However, be aware that herpes can lie dormant for several years. What appears to be a new infection is occasionally an old one that is causing symptoms for the first time. Talk with your provider about the best way to protect your baby.
When a pregnant woman does contract a new genital HSV infection during the last trimester, many providers will prescribe antiviral medication. If lesions or prodromal symptoms are present at the time of labor, a Cesarean section is the safest course to prevent the baby from coming into contact with virus in the birth canal. If the infection is acquired late in pregnancy, many providers would recommend a Cesarean section even without lesions present.

New Fuji cameras announced, leaked Panasonics now official
Talk about perfect timing! The five leaked Panasonics have now become official, while Fuji has announced
four five new digital cameras, including the F300-EXR, an F200-EXR replacement in-name only! But it toys with phase-detection autofocus, so, as usual, it would have to be evaluated on its own merits, instead of as a Fuji F200-EXR replacement (the Canon GINO debates revisited!)...
Meet the new Panasonics [NEW!]
+ Panasonic LX5
+ Panasonic FZ100 - more advanced than FZ40, with MOS sensor, free-angle, hot-shoe
+ Panasonic FZ40 (FZ45) - FZ35/FZ38 replacement with 24X zoom and 14mp 1/2.33"
+ Panasonic FX700 - a middle-class luxury compact?
+ Panasonic TS10 (FT10) - their third elementproof camera
As speculated, the FZ40 is the US name for the FZ45 (European name). The naming confusion silliness continues :)
One of the things that were not leaked in the original Panasonic leak is that the new Panasonic FZ100 and FX700 (but not the FZ45/FZ40 and TS10/FT10) are using a new 1/2.33" MOS sensor, instead of a typical CCD. We get 14mp, but it is a 15mp sensor.
For more, check out the action at...
+ dpreview
+ Imaging Resource
+ Imaging Insider
Meet the new Fujis [NEW!]
+ Fuji F300 EXR - a surprise, phase-detection hybrid AF, 15X lens, 1/2" SuperCCDEXR sensor
+ Fuji S2800HD (aka S2900HD) - 18X PASM superzoom with 14mp 1/2.3"
+ Fuji Z800EXR (aka Z808EXR) - SuperCCD-EXR w/ new hybrid autofocus
+ Fuji Z80 (aka Z81) - another folded-optics P&S
+ Fuji JX280 - another LiIon P&S
Pre-Order Alert
+ All five new Panasonics are available for pre-order at Amazon [NEW!]
+ Four of the five new Fujis are also available for pre-order at Amazon
Comparison Previews
+ LX5 vs LX3 hands-on report at Quesabesde (no samples) + video hands-on [HOT!]
Sample pictures with the new cameras
+ Panasonic LX5 pre-production full-size samples at Photography Blog, Let's Go Digital

Hands-on with the new cameras
+ Panasonic LX5 at Photography Blog, Pocket Lint, Photo Radar, Optyczne.pl
+ Panasonic FZ100 at Photography Blog, Pocket Link, Optyczne.pl
+ Thoughts on the LX5, prior to the official announcement at Lightscrape (over 100K shots with LX3)
Early Opinion
+ Fuji commits serious-compact-camera suicide, but throws phase-detection twist...
+ 14mp 1/2.33" MOS vs CCD - we wait to see how they compare
+ more on all these later tomorrow...
PRE-ORDERS for new PANASONICS
+ Panasonic LX5 for $500

Bedford council passes on increasing its stipend
The council discussed the issue at its mini-retreat in September, but revisited the matter briefly during its Nov. 13 meeting. A motion to form a committee to craft the wording for the ballot was presented, but was quickly shot down by a 7-0 vote.
Kelleigh Domaingue also had reservations because of a committee's review of the Town Charter, and the other councilors agreed.
For their service to the town, each councilor is paid a stipend of $1,500 a year, and the chairman receives $2,000, according to the Town Charter.
"The purchasing power in 1984 to be equalized today would have to be in the amount of $3,381," he said.
In addition to attending council meetings on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, councilors are appointed to serve on the town's boards and commissions.
Bandazian, who has been serving on the council since 2008, is a liaison to the Energy Commission, BCTV Board and the school board. He also is a council alternate on the Planning Board and the Merrimack Regional Water District.
Normand Longval, a councilor since 2006, serves as liaison to the Parks and Recreation Committee and council alternate on the BCTV Board and the Historic District Commission.
Domaingue, who was elected in March, serves as the council alternate on the Zoning Board of Adjustment, Highway Safety Committee and the Water and Sewer Advisory Committee.
Under the charter, councilors only receive reimbursement for mileage and expenses for out-of-town business, which is rare. The town pays for councilors and board members to attend seminars and conferences within their areas of responsibility.
In contrast, some surrounding towns, such as Goffstown and New Boston, pay their board of selectmen a stipend more or slightly equal to Bedford.
Each Goffstown selectmen receives a stipend of $395.33 per month, which is about $4,743 per year. No extra stipend is given to the chairman. Sue Desruisseaux, town administrator, said selectmen's pay is reviewed annually during the town's budget process. Beginning in July 2014, the proposed stipend will increase to $403.24 a month. Goffstown selectmen meet every Monday during the year.
New Boston selectmen meet every other Monday. Peter Flynn, New Boston town administrator, said each selectman receives an annual stipend of $2,200, and the chairman is paid $2,500. However, he said, the town has not granted any increases since 2009. The board is paid for attending conferences.
Initiative petition
Bedford voters have the right to submit an initiative petition to increase the Town Council's pay. A petition must be signed by at least 50 registered voters and submitted to the council. The town clerk must verify the signatures, and the council has the right to accept or reject the petition, but has to hold a public hearing on the issue.

Meet the Programmers
Dec 12,2010 - 02:47 PM
ANTONIA CARVER, Arabian Programmes
How would you summarise the past 12 months in Arab cinema?
What's exciting is to see is a lot of young filmmakers coming up – we received a huge number of quite brilliant short films from students, which bodes so well for the future; the Muhr feature film competition this year includes many first and second-time filmmakers. We have strong, independent, auteur voices coming through, filmmakers that are young but confident enough to play with genres and styles, and produce really original filmmaking, both in documentaries and features. We've also noticed an increase in films coming out of Iraq – a huge diversity of films, and subjects, from Iraqi Kurdistan right down to the south.
What are the particular criteria films must achieve for you to consider them for DIFF?
The Arab films are selected by a team of three and we discuss every film in detail. We watch hundreds of films each year and aim to see the entire output from the region if we can. There are the obvious things – that the film has an Arab director or a connection to the Arab world through storyline or subject matter. Sometimes a film might be not be completely polished, but it has a great story, and we think our audience will find it compelling viewing. And then there are the more intangible elements - integrity, passion, vision, perfectionism. We try to find gems for both local audiences and the international industry guests, to maintain DIFF's position as the 'home of Arab cinema' and a place of discovery.
NASHEN MOODLEY, AsiaAfrica Programmes
How would you summarise the past 12 months in Asia-Africa cinema?
Like the industry elsewhere, the last year has been a difficult one for cinema in Asia and Africa, particularly in terms of sales. Still, the levels of production have been high, and we have seen a great number of wonderful films from both continents. It has been a particularly strong year for African cinema, and we are delighted that we have many of these wonderful excellent films at DIFF.
How do you see the results of a dedicated Muhr section for Asian and Africa cinema at DIFF?
Over the years, DIFF has built a very solid reputation across the film world. I think it is known as a festival that cares deeply about films and filmmakers, and as a result we get a great number of submissions each year. Particularly with the competition, the Festival encourages filmmaking in both regions.
What are the particular criteria films must achieve for you to consider them for DIFF?
Each year we look for innovative films that say something about the world; films that are stylistically daring; and we also try to accommodate new talents alongside established masters. Throughout the AsiaAfrica programmes we have great films that are going to delight, shock, thrill and engage audiences.
DOROTHEE WENNER, Celebration of Indian Cinema
How do festivals such as DIFF provide a distinct advantage to Indian filmmakers? How has DIFF benefited Indian cinema, in your view, over the years?
DIFF has a special status amongst international festivals, due to the Gulf being a top market for Indian films. Here, it's possible to showcase Indian films to a large local audience with a strong interest, appreciation and knowledge of Indian films. For Indian producers, the Festival's glamour and buzz is the perfect environment in which to release new films and bring stars to the region and as a meeting point for film professionals, it's the place to discuss and explore immediate and long-term strategies.
How would you summarise the past 12 months in Indian cinema?
Across production centres such as Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Kerala, budgets, topics and production practices vary hugely. But there are some extremely positive market trends. It's good to see an increase in Bengali production houses, the emergence of a group of enthusiastic Malayalam artist filmmakers uniting for better cinema and so on. Yet, there's a dark flip-side to some of these trends as well, as commercial pressure taking its toll. I have seen quite a few films in which it was obvious that screenwriters, directors and editors could have achieved much more, had budgets allowed them little more time to work on the product.
MYRNA MAAKARON, Cinema for Children
What are the challenges facing a programmer of children's films? What particular qualities do you look for in the films you select for DIFF each year?
Looking for good children's films is not an easy task. Because one often forgets to watch the film as a child would see them. Sometimes I think that a monster might scare them, when actually they ask to see monsters. Or I assume that they might like to identify with some kids who have the same troubles as them in life when they actually ask to see heroes, princesses and dragons. In general, a good children's film is one that combines a good
story, entertainment, emotions, credibility, fantasy and in some cases, lessons about life…
As a cinema professional based outside the country, how has DIFF advanced cinema for children in the Gulf region since 2004?
DIFF was the first festival in the region to include a children section and introduce workshops related to the films. Talents and guests I have met over the past years are always surprised to see how much quality DIFF offers.
What is your personal highlight of the festival?
What makes me cheerful is the happiness of the younger ones after watching a children's film, especially when they have the chance to meet the stars! For me also, it's when I have the time to watch a film, meet my colleagues and the closing ceremony. Every year, DIFF is a very special event!
SHEILA WHITAKER, Cinema of the World
How would you summarise the last 12 months in Cinema of the World?
The last twelve months have seen a resurgence of cinema after something of a drought in the previous year. This resurgence has also produced some very fine examples of filmmaking from 'The King's Speech' to smaller (but no less important) productions such as 'Tomorrow Will Be Better' and 'When We Leave'.
As a cinema professional based outside the country, how do you feel DIFF has advanced cinema in the Gulf region since 2004?
As the pioneer festival in the Gulf, Dubai took on an enormous task in advancing cinema in all its aspects of production, distribution and exhibition. And in this, it has achieved a great deal. Knowledge and expertise has increased amongst young filmmakers who are putting this to good use and distribution and exhibition has broadened in the provision of cinema.
What are the particular criteria films must achieve for you to consider them for DIFF?
One works initially in terms of seeking new films from known directors whose work one admires but aside from that, it is spending many hours viewing films and finding the gems amongst the plethora of titles. As to which films are selected that is relatively straightforward – it is a question of fine filmmaking, in which all the components of a film come together into a coherent and cogent whole.
What is your personal highlight of the Festival?
I love it all.

charge of cruelty
FAIR HAVEN A Minnesota man charged with drunken driving after a crash in a fast-food drive-thru has also been charged with cruelty to a child because a 3-year-old was in the car, police said.
Curtis C. Labande, 22, of Crosby, Minn., was arrested Halloween night after Fair Haven Police were called to the McDonalds restaurant on Washington Street.
A breath test indicated that Labandes blood-alcohol level was .144 percent, police said. The legal limit for driving in Vermont is .08 percent.
Labande was cited to appear in Rutland criminal court at a later date.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

The surging Ottawa Senators will try to gain some ground on an Atlantic Division rival as they welcome the Montreal Canadiens for tonight's clash at Canadian Tire Centre.
Catch the game live on TSN, TSN Radio 690 in Montreal and TSN Radio 1200 in Ottawa at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt..
Ottawa enters tonight tied with Detroit for fifth in the Atlantic and is seven points in back of Montreal, which currently holds the third of the division's three automatic playoff spots.
The Sens have won the first two of five scheduled meetings with the Habs this season and recently picked up a 4-3 overtime win in Montreal on Jan. 4. Clarke MacArthur notched the OT game-winner with a power-play goal, lifting Ottawa to its third win in the last four meetings against the Habs.
The Canadiens, who will start Carey Price in goal, have lost four straight games in Ottawa. Price is 14-6-4 with a 2.22 goals against average in his career against the Senators. Goaltender Craig Anderson gets the start for Ottawa and is 6-6-1 lifetime with a 2.83 GAA versus Montreal.
Robin Lehner helped Ottawa cap its recent trip with a win, as he stopped 27 shots to record his first shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over the Minnesota Wild.
Kyle Turris posted a goal and assist, while MacArthur and Erik Condra also lit the lamp. Erik Karlsson added two assists for the Senators.
Ottawa, which is 11-10-4 in Canada's capital city this season, is playing two straight on home ice before heading out on another four-game road trip and will have Chris Neil back in the lineup. Neil has not played since Dec. 30 when he collided with Washington forward Alexander Ovechkin and suffered a lower body injury.
Montreal, meanwhile, is beginning a four-game road trip tonight and hopes to get back on the right track during the swing. The Canadiens have lost two of three and five of their last eight tilts and they recently split a two-game homestand.
The Habs beat Chicago 2-1 in overtime on Saturday before dropping a 4-1 decision Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The Canadiens jumped out to a 1-0 lead against the Devils, but then watched as the visitors scored four unanswered goals.
Max Pacioretty scored his 20th goal of the season for the Canadiens, while Price surrendered three goals on just 18 shots.
"It's just that they find ways to clear pucks and find ways to block shots," Pacioretty said. "They play as a group for 60 minutes. Jersey prides itself on playing games like that."
The Canadiens played Tuesday without forward David Desharnais, who is battling illness and is a game-time decision for tonight's game.
Montreal has lost three of its last four games on the road, but is 12-8-2 as the visiting team this season.The Senators have been playing their best hockey of the season lately, registering six wins during a seven-game point streak. Ottawa recently wrapped a four-game road trip with consecutive wins to post a 3-0-1 record on the trek.

I might have been one of the few people who read about Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic in Philadelphia after it was raided by the FBI back in 2010. But the fact that I'm aware of the current prosecution is because my friends have made an award-winning short documentary about the case, 3801 Lancaster (a reference to the clinic address), and the "house of horrors" that masqueraded as a women's clinic. It was an abortion clinic, one of the most gruesome places of medical practice you can imagine: filthy, unsafe equipment; unlicensed and underage (15!) practitioners; broken and rusty equipment; murders of babies born alive; and a bizarre collection of fetal parts preserved in jars and other containers. The grand jury report is sickening to read, not only because of Gosnell's actions but also because of the complete lack of regulatory oversight.
This week, the mainstream media finally gave the Gosnell murder trial some attention. Kirsten Powers wrote about it for USA Today, chastising her fellow journalists for ignoring the story. She wrote: "Since the murder trial of Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell began March 18, there has been precious little coverage of the case that should be on every news show and front page. The revolting revelations of Gosnell's former staff, who have been testifying to what they witnessed and did during late-term abortions, should shock anyone with a heart. ... You don't have to oppose abortion rights to find late-term abortion abhorrent or to find the Gosnell trial eminently newsworthy. This is not about being 'pro-choice' or 'pro-life.' It's about basic human rights."
Then The Atlantic magazine picked up on it, noting the grand jury's report that said, "We think the reason no one acted is because the women in question were poor and of color, because the victims were infants without identities, and because the subject was the political football of abortion." Others soon joined in, from Slate (which actually had published an earlier piece in 2011) to Anderson Cooper and CNN (with David Altrogge, the director of 3801 Lancaster, as one of the guests). One media outlet that has consistently covered the story has been the Philadelphia Inquirer. Their extensive library of articles can be accessed in their Gosnell collection.
Gosnell kept no records so it's hard to know how many lives were taken at his clinic. But it's a visible reminder of one of the biggest human rights violations in our generation--from the innocent babies who were killed, to the women who were subjected to the worst kind of "back alley abortions" in an era of "safe and legal" abortions, to the flagrant violations of basic medical standards and patient safety. It's been said that a nail salon has more regulation than this clinic.
Pray that justice is done in this matter. Pray that Gosnell repents. Pray for the women who were treated there. Pray for our media that didn't think there was a story here worth covering for so long. Pray for this divisive political topic to be subject to reasonable discourse. Pray for an end to abortion.

COVINGTON — The city of Covington has hired a new finance director.
William Randall (Randy) Smith of Locust Grove will begin work Aug. 26, according to a press release issued by the city Tuesday. Smith is replacing Leigh Anne Knight, who was appointed city manager earlier this year.
"I just want to say that I am excited about this opportunity and that I'm really looking forward to working for the city of Covington and for Leigh Anne," Smith said.
Smith is currently the accounting manager for Peachtree City. He holds a bachelor of business administration degree in accounting from the University of Georgia and is a certified public accountant. He has previous work experience in banking, finance and auditing, according to the press release.
"I think Mr. Smith is very well qualified for the position. His background shows evidence of dependability and an easy to get along with attitude. He will be a good team player and we look forward to having him as part of the city of Covington," said Director of Human Resources Ronnie Cowan.
The position was advertised beginning in May and the application period closed on June 5. The city received a total of 15 applications, with seven candidates meeting the minimum job qualifications, according to Cowan. One withdrew prior to being interviewed. Of the six candidates interviewed, two had the desired government finance and accounting backgrounds, he said. The other top contender withdrew from consideration.
The salary range for the position is $66,706 — $98,675. Based on Smith's education, experience and credentials, the city offered him a salary of $93,912, Cowan said.

City Council June 10, 2013
Good evening Mayor and Council,
On May 9, just one month ago now, the DeKalb Public Library received an unexpected notice that we were awarded the entire amount for which we were eligible– .64 % of construction costs.
This amount is
Previously we had been awarded $8,544,127.49.
Let me put that amount of money into context. In this one time only capital project for library construction, there was only $50 million. DeKalb Public Library received $11,659,453.05 cents. Why so much to us? This complicated and competitive grant gave every library in the state a number on a grant index. We were rated quite high—we had had no recent construction, a high poverty rate, not meeting fire codes, etc.
However, I would like to quickly relate a few highlights of the one meeting we had with the executive management of the Illinois State Library, The executive director, four other high-level directors were there as well as Nathan Maddux, Senior Legal Counsel to the State of Illinois. This is an enormous amount of money. Everyone in the room was very familiar with the grant application, the status of our library building on the National Register of Historic Buildings and the scope and design of the proposed expansion. Everyone was completely satisfied with the grant application, the approval of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and wished us well in our local fundraising.
I think in our own hometown we do not recognize the importance of our building at the national level. Our building is an Art Deco building and as our building consultant often states, as far as he knows, there are only three—Los Angeles Public Library, the Library of Congress and us. We are an even smaller window of Art Deco, Art Moderne and perhaps we are the only library that is Art Moderne.
Certainly, the building has been lovingly and carefully maintained. We have hired architects who respect that architectural statement and are reflecting that respect in their complementary addition.
This difference of $3,085,326 will enable us to build and renovate in one phase instead of dividing the project into two phases as we discussed with you previously. The return to the original project as submitted in April of 2011 will save us escalation costs according to our construction experts of perhaps a million dollars.
The three local banks met and previously having each examined our books and structured the loan to be repaid through our current operating funds if private philanthropy does not meet our goals, all stepped forward to cover the additional amount needed. No further costs will go to the taxpayers.
With a very preliminary call for donors, we immediately raised over one million dollars in pledges and cash. Certainly, our fund raising efforts will go into high gear as soon as the contract with the State is signed.
The project has not changed at all. We simply have over $3 million more dollars to fund it.
We are grateful to the vision of Jacob Haish, Sven Parson and the Board of Trustees of 1930, to the Mayor and Council of 2012/2013, to the current Board of Trustees who have been working on bringing 21st century library services to our city since 2007, to the Secretary of State, Jesse White, who has worked tirelessly to fund public libraries, to Representative Pritchard who has always advocated for public libraries, and to the Illinois State Library and its representatives who have made this dream possible with full funding of our project.

Movie: "Hud," 1963, on DVD 2003
Director: Martin Ritt
Based on a novel by Larry McMurtry
Running time: 112 minutes
Homer Barron is the patriarch of the family, along with of his son, Hud, and Lon, the grandson. Alma, the earthy and compassionate housekeeper, takes care of the woman's work for the family.
Three men could be no more different than these. Homer lives and believes character is the measure of a man's worth. The good-timing Hud fulfills his chores on the ranch, but prefers hard drinking, affairs with married women, and driving his pink convertible Cadillac fast and hard.
Lon, on the edge of manhood with all the expected appetites for food and women intact, admires both his grandfather and his uncle. Lon has a foot in each man's character while developing his own.
Despite an attempted rape of Alma one late night, Hud usually gets what he wants. He cares for no one but himself. Hud sees his old father as a hypocrit.
Eventually all the cattle must be destroyed to prevent spread of hoof and mouth disease. By today's standards the driving of cattle into a crowded pit in the field to be shot seems heartless, but bland in black and white. Men's dreams may be slaughtered like cattle. With the death of the dream, dies the man. We know Hud will never change.
The dialogue is what makes this movie great. Sexual banter is subtle but obvious when you listen and watch. Adult entertainment.

3 generations of a texan farmers family clash with their values ,ideas and lifestyles as grandfather ,uncle and grandson .
guilt,old traditions ,loose morality ,drunken binges are the superficial vices of hud, played by Newman in his most charismatic and stylish turn in an act which is almost a textbook performance,he defines the soul of a tough,hard texan cowboy with harmony and honesty in a world hard to survive ,his aging father is clashing with his rebellious son and their quarrels are just explosive ,caught in the middle is lon as the grandson admiring his uncle for his multiple talents with both rodeos and sex bouts .
Everyone has to find their own niche and truth and Pat neal as the housekeeper is the fragile link between the 3 men,
The ranch and old men are dying of foot and mouth disease and depression and lon and hud are the 2 players who will decide where the future lies .
the dialogues and the camera are totally in control of the headstrong wild characters,this is easily newman at his peak and the cinematography is superb with the herd massacre to the night time brawls and Car drives .
Texas looks surreal and at times like a desolate kindom where newman rules the roost,
this movie shows paul is just as good if not better than brando.
The neal character is strong as hell as a woman jilted by a gambling husband ,and the sex chemistry between her and paul is defined with some great lines and double entendres .
this is just one of the most unusual and intellectually challenging puzzles hollywood has ever made and even today it shocks you with it's radical view of the texan society .The conventions,traditions and culture assume a parody in the sense that the characters are too cool to let themselves be provoked by the environment ,the sangfroid just carries on as if their insouciance will correct every wrong and if not then they do not give a damn ,i suppose that is the gist of life anywhere and this movie is the absolute truth in every detail,
it is honest to all of its inhabitants whether saints or sinners but theY all have faith in their beliefs and define the spirit of the texan culture .
provocotive and damningly powerful .

This seems to be a movie in which James Dean's Cal from East of Eden hands over the plot to Paul Newman's Hud. They both have a self-righteous and overbearing father whose goodness can be a little too hard to bear in a world of changing moral codes. In each film there are a father and two sons. And in both there seems to have been a 'good' son and a 'bad' son. Each father makes a vital and humiliating mistake when conducting business affairs - Hud's father buying diseased cattle from Mexico causing a deadly outbreak of foot and mouth disease which will bring disaster upon the family just as Cal's father experiments with icing lettuce in "East of Eden". The 'bad' son in both end up killing the good son and neither father understands his son and concludes the boy to be bad and beyond redemption. The son left alive has to live on with the knowledge of his inherently 'bad' nature at the same time recognizing the flawed character of his apparently noble father. James Dean has grown up into the cynical, desperate ,yet at times agonizingly vulnerable character of Paul Newman's Hud. He is a character to whom charm comes naturally and easily and his beauty is that of a worn and jaded Botticelli angel. But he has grown up without love, and he desires it and tries to obtain it by the means which are an anathema to his father. By the antics of an ignored child or the awkward engineerings of an adolescent. Paul Newman's character knows he is warped and ruined though, and this self-knowledge is a part of what destroys him as well as the frustrated recognition of the hypocrisy of the 'nobility' of the 'old west'. His father accuses him of living selfishly - as all parents do, eventually - and Hud says, "My mother loved me, but she died". The father character, dying on the side of the road is told by his young grandson, "You never quit on anything, your whole life" and the father looks at Hud for a moment. And at that point you know that he did give up on something, maybe just one thing, his own son. Yet even though he recognizes this, he feels no remorse for the way he has damaged his remaining son. After he has died Hud says that his father and he fought many and many a round together, "But I guess you could say I helped him about as much as he helped me" The grandson says, "How did you help him Hud, by taking the heart out of him, by making him give up and quit, is that how you helped him." The expression on Paul Newman's face at this point is almost indescribable. A piercing knowledge that this young and innocent boy has described exactly what his father did to him and has not realized it in the least. Beautiful acting, wonderful photography and a script with mythological themes. At the end, Newman, alone with a bottle and a cigarette in the vast wasteland of a dying dust bowl, waves one hand dismissively in a small and encompassing gesture of distaste for the whole world.

How interesting and rather sad that this (mostly) downer of a movie received seven academy award nominations (three wins), and was (according to one or more sources) a "box office success". The two redeeming portrayals that, perhaps, "saved" it, were, I think, those of the title character's father, depicted as a principled, honorable person (and got Melvyn Douglass a best supporting actor award, and who may be considered the "center of good" in the film, and the usually good-natured, good-hearted housekeeper (which garnered a best actress Academy Award for Patricia Neal).

Paul Newman delivers a shattering performance as a character that is both repellant and spellbinding. The supporting cast is as equally excellent. Screenplay, lighting, cinematography and direction are all top notch. One of the best films of all time.

By ANDREW TAYLOR
It's a given that President Bush will veto the big Iraq money bill that sets a timeline for withdrawing U.S. troops. The question is whether he'll veto the next version if it contains what he calls "excessive and extraneous" non-war spending.
Bush is talking tough, as are Democrats on Capitol Hill. But there are signs that both sides want to avoid a second veto.
While the president and Republicans have criticized both House and Senate Iraq bills for including such "pork" spending as $74 million to help peanut farmers store their crops and $25 million for California spinach producers, those types of easy-to-mock items make up a tiny fraction of the $20 billion or so added by Democrats.
GOP critics have been mostly silent or supportive of add-ons such as $4 billion-plus for medical care for veterans and troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, up to $6.7 billion for more hurricane relief along the Gulf Coast and $745 million to cover shortfalls in providing health care to children of the working poor.
Bush blames Democrats for adding "billions of dollars in domestic spending that is completely unrelated to the war. … These may be emergencies, they may be problems, but they can be addressed in the normal course of business. They don't need to be added on to a bill that's supporting our troops."
Democrats reply that Bush has routinely accepted non-war items on prior war funding bills, such as a $2 billion border fence to keep Mexicans and others from entering the country illegally.
And last year, powerful Gulf Coast Republicans such as Thad Cochran and Trent Lott of Mississippi successfully pressed for billions of dollars above Bush's prior requests for Hurricane Katrina relief.
Bush's veto threats regarding the Democrats' add-ons have been purposefully vague. In official policy statements, the White House doesn't specify which "excessive and extraneous" items would draw a veto, and it won't set a "top line" figure that it's willing to accept.
That's a change from dealings with GOP leaders when Republicans controlled Capitol Hill.
For example, White House statements don't even mention approximately $4 billion in farm disaster aid sought by lawmakers in both parties. Just last December, it vowed to veto a mostly identical plan.
"As we get closer to understanding how the House and Senate come out of this, we'll be in a position to be more specific," White House Budget Director Rob Portman said in an interview with The Associated Press.
On Thursday, the White House took the Democrats to task for focusing on items other than the war. "What the Democrats did for the last four weeks — instead of discussing with the president a way to make sure that funding gets to the troops — they spent the last four weeks cobbling together votes, adding $24 billion in spending for spinach and some tropical birds or fish and shrimp, things like that," said spokesman Gordon Johndroe, who was with Bush in Texas.
Portman says that most of the non-war-related money is simply a way to use the must-pass bill to get around limits set on the amount of spending otherwise at the control of Congress' powerful appropriations committees.
Items such as heating subsidies for the poor or additional money to combat wildfires "should be dealt with in the normal appropriations process," Portman said. "There's no reason they have to be in the (Iraq) supplemental."
Republican conservatives in Congress are eager for a showdown over spending. More than 150 House Republicans have pledged to sustain a veto issued over the spending add-ons.
It's plain Democrats are hoping to avoid a veto over non-war-related funding. They find themselves already on the defensive to Bush's claim that delaying in providing more money for the war is going to harm troops overseas, even though defense budget experts question that assertion.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid struck back at that idea Thursday. He said Bush, not the Congress, would be to blame if a veto delayed money for troops because the president has rejected repeated invitations to discuss a compromise.
"I know how to compromise. He doesn't. That what he's got to learn," the Nevada Democrat said in Reno. "I think it's been real hard for him to understand he can't do what he did before we had a new Congress in town."
The White House criticism is likely to continue as House and Senate Democrats struggle to piece together a compromise bill after the House returns from a two-week recess on April 16.
House Democrats have considered splitting the non-war items from the Iraq funding and sending them to Bush separately as a way to blunt GOP attacks. The idea has met resistance from the Senate and seems to be fading, however.
As Republicans learned many times in their dealings with President Clinton — starting with the politically disastrous partial government shutdowns of 1995-96 — a president with a veto pen and the "bully pulpit" is a dangerous adversary.
The outcome in this key test of wills between Bush and the new Democratic-controlled Congress defies easy prediction.
"Usually you can figure these things out and you know what the end game play is going to be," said Tim Keating, top lobbyist for Honeywell International Inc. "I have no clue yet."

One Response to "Bush, Dems rachet up war rhetoric"
How this thing turns out is entirely up to the democrats. They have set up a win or lose situation for both sides. It would be a huge mistake if they backed down from it.
Frankly, I'm surprised they did this. I would be happy they did if I had any faith that they would see it through. Bush will veto, that is a given. He knows this is the make or break point for him. If he backs down his control, his power, is gone and congress will be in charge of the government for the final two years of his presidency. His delusion of himself cannot accept that.
Since they are unable to override a veto by Bush, the question is whether the democrats will have the courage to refuse to alter the bill. They should do that. Now is the time for them to impose the will of the majority of the voters and change the course of history. The impact would go far beyond the Iraq war.
The Bush/Cheney grip on the nation could be broken with this one act if the democrats have the guts to withstand the attack and the intelligence to repudiate all the lies that will come from the republicans. I wonder if they realize what could happen to Bush if they did? He might lose it completely and do something really stupid that would give congress no alternative but to remove him. Or, he might just crawl into a shell of withdrawal and silence for the remainder of his term. Who knows? I sure would like to find out.

As of Monday, February 11, Richard Gray said his project to honor those who died in Sandy Hook on 12/14 was going full throttle.

Town officials in Newtown have not spoken directly with Mr Gray, a recent resident of Merritt Island, Fla., and former longtime resident of Gouldsboro, Maine, according to Sue Marcinek, executive assistant to First Selectman Pat Llodra.

I'm 42 now and my attitude towards sex has changed and I'm confident in my sexuality. I'm also fully aware of the 'risks', and they are risks. I don't take my being HIV-negative for granted but I also don't allow a fear of HIV to stop me doing what I want to do. After twenty years I've finally realised that a penis isn't a murder weapon.
Desperate to save their loved ones, families turned to traditional faith healers, running up huge debts paying for treatment that not only didn't work but was often painful and dangerous. HIV testing wasn't available, and for the few who did know they were infected, there was no support or treatment. People were dying and things seemed beyond hope. And so to people who say that that we shouldn't give aid to Africa because it's not helping, I'd say you're chatting rubbish. I've seen with my own eyes that you're wrong, aid does work. It's real and it's making a massive difference.
It is a very scary statistic that in the UK there are over 25,000 people infected with HIV unaware they are infected. We must prioritise diagnosing them, especially as HIV can be symptomless for many years. So regular blood testing is often not just our best, but our only tool in controlling the spread of HIV.
We've come a long way in the fight to tackle HIV in developing countries - UK aid is helping to prevent 500,000 new HIV infections by 2015 in women through a range of prevention programmes. But there's still the hurdle of reaching people who are marginalised from the services they need and most at risk of infection.
The latest Health Protection Agency (HPA) figures show there were an estimated 3,010 new diagnoses among gay men in 2011 - the highest annual figure since records began. Nearly a quarter of people with HIV (24%) remain unaware of their infection and the proportion of late diagnoses (indicating people have been infected for over five years) remains worryingly high at 47%.
If the bill is passed it's likely to lead to even more HIV infections in politically isolated populations, especially among men who have sex with men. They will be prevented from having access to essential public health information, such as how to protect themselves from HIV and how to access life saving treatment and support services that are stigma-free.

My thought, my vision, the dreams of my ambition
Life's goals... hard to earn goals.

Robert Nkemdiche's stellar football career at Grayson High School ended up on Friday night.
His recruiting journey may soon be finished as well.
Two weeks ago, the nation's undisputed No. 1 overall college football prospect de-committed from Clemson.
On Saturday night, Nkemdiche made an unofficial visit to watch Ole Miss, where his brother is a freshman linebacker. After the game, Denzel Nkemdiche was asked by reporters about what his heralded younger brother thought about the Ole Miss win over Mississippi State and the environment for the game:
"Robert told me personally, I don't know if I'm supposed to say it, but he told me he's committing in two weeks," Denzel Nkemdiche told reporters (on Saturday night). "That's just the honest truth. That's what he told me and he wouldn't lie to his brother." (Click here to read rest of blog by the Clarion-Ledger's John Talty)
Denzel did not specifically say Robert would pick Ole Miss (see video below) but we'll go out on a limb and predict that Robert may indeed pick Ole Miss – in two weeks, or whenever.
When Robert was contacted by the AJC on late Saturday night to confirm what his brother said about committing in two weeks, Robert politely responded, "No comment."
Denzel Nkemdiche is a star defensive player for Ole Miss, which upset Mississippi State on Saturday night. Robert, whose Grayson team lost in the state playoffs on Friday, attended the game between the SEC archrivals. Robert was photographed after the game as fans rushed the field in this picture by the Daily Mississippian's Matthew Sigler.
Both of Nkemdiche's parents have expressed their wishes that the brothers play on the same team in college.
If the 6-foot-5, 284-pound defensive end commits to Ole Miss, he could be joined there by his best friend and Grayson teammate, DB David Kamara, who has also de-committed from Clemson and claims a scholarship offer from the Rebels.
Nkemdiche's final game as a high school football player will be in the Under Armour all-star game on Jan. 5. That week, Nkemdiche will have the opportunity to defend his consensus No. 1 ranking against many of the nation's other elite prospects. He is the first-ever No. 1 from the state of Georgia.
