The 1993 Atlantic hurricane season was a below active Atlantic hurricane season that produced ten tropical cyclones and tropical storms, four hurricanes, and one major hurricane. It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean. The first tropical cyclone, Tropical Depression One, developed on May 31, while the final storm, Tropical Depression Ten, dissipated on September 30, well before the average dissipation date of a season's last tropical cyclone, the first occurrence since the 1930 season. The most intense hurricane, Emily, was a Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale that paralleled close to the North Carolina coastline causing minor damage and a few deaths before moving out to sea.
The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Gert, a tropical cyclone that devastated several countries in Central America and Mexico. Throughout the impact areas, damage totaled to $170 million (1993 USD)[nb 1] and 102 fatalities were reported. The remnants of Gert reached the Pacific Ocean and was classified as Tropical Depression Fourteen-E. Another significant system was Tropical Storm Bret, which resulted in 184 deaths and $25 million in losses as it tracked generally westward across Trinidad, Venezuela, Colombia, and Nicaragua. In the Pacific Ocean, the remnants of Bret were attributed to the development of Hurricane Greg. Three other tropical cyclones brought minor to moderate effects on land; they were Tropical Depression One and Tropical Storms Arlene and Cindy. The storms of the 1993 Atlantic hurricane season collectively caused 339 fatalities and $297.7 million in losses.

|Actual activity
Forecasts of hurricane activity are issued before each hurricane season by Dr. William M. Gray and his associates at Colorado State University (CSU) and the Weather Research Center (WRC). A normal season as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has 12.1 named storms, of which 6.4 reach hurricane strength, and 2.7 become major hurricanes.[nb 2][5] In December 1992, Gray anticipated a near average season with 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes.[1] Another predication on April 16, 1993 was unchanged from the previous forecast.[2] In June, Gray revised the number of hurricanes to 7, though the forecast of named storms and major hurricanes remained the same.[1] By August, the number hurricanes predicted was lowered back to 6, matching the December 1992 and April forecasts.[1][2] The sole prediction made by the WRC called for 7 named storms and 5 hurricanes, though no forecast was made on the numbers of major hurricanes.[3]
Season activity[edit]
The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, those activity began a day early with the development of Tropical Depression One on May 31.[6] It was a below average season in which 10 tropical depressions formed. Eight of the depressions attained tropical storm status, and four of these attained hurricane status. In addition, one tropical cyclone eventually attained major hurricane status, which is below the 1981–2010 average of 2.7 per season.[5] The low amount of activity is attributed to abnormally strong wind shear across the Atlantic basin.[7] Only one hurricanes and three tropical storm made landfall during the season; Tropical Depression One and Hurricane Emily also caused land impacts. However, the storm collectively caused 339 deaths and $302.7 million in damage.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The last storm of the season, Tropical Depression Ten, became extratropical on September 30, two months before the official end of the season on November 30.[6][21]
Tropical cyclogenesis in the 1993 Atlantic hurricane season began with the development of Tropical Depression One on May 31.[6] However, in the following two months, minimal activity occurred, with only one named storm, Arlene, in June. August was the most active month, with four tropical cyclones developing, including Tropical Storms Bret, Cindy, and Dennis, as well as Hurricane Emily.[7] Although September is the climatological peak of hurricane season,[22] only two system formed that month, which were Hurricane Floyd and Gert. Thereafter, activity briefly halted until Hurricane Harvey developed in October.[7] The final tropical cyclone, Tropical Depression Ten, became extratropical on September 30, two months before the official end of the season on November 30.[6][21]
Overall, the season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 39.[23] ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 34 knots (39 mph, 63 km/h) or tropical storm strength. Subtropical cyclones are excluded from the total.[24]
Tropical Depression One[edit]
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|May 31 – June 2
|Peak intensity
|35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min) 999 mbar (hPa)
A westward-moving tropical wave developed into Tropical Depression One near the Isle of Youth on May 31. Due to strong wind shear and its proximity to land, the depression was unable to strengthen and struck western Cuba later that day. It emerged into the Straits of Florida early on June 1 and began to organize and intensify slightly further, but nonetheless remained below tropical storm intensity. Around that time, an approaching shortwave trough accelerated the depression northeastward across the western Bahamas. Thereafter, the wind field of the depression began expanding and lost all tropical characteristics while located northeast of The Bahamas on June 2.[25]
Heavy rainfall in Cuba caused flooding in the central and eastern portions of the country,[25] forcing the evacuation of 40,000 people, destroying 1,860 homes and damaging an additional 16,500. Additionally, crops suffered severe impact from the flooding, just two months after significant agricultural damage in Cuba from the Storm of the Century in March.[26] Overall, the depression left 7 fatalities and another 5 people were listed as missing.[8] In Haiti, flooding from the outerbands of the storm killed thousands of livestock and resulted in 13 deaths.[9] Heavy precipitation in Florida peaked at nearly 10 inches (250 mm), though it caused little impact other than bringing drought relief.[27] Impact, if any in The Bahamas, is unknown.[25]
Tropical Storm Arlene[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|June 18 – June 21
|Peak intensity
|40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 1000 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave was tracked in the Caribbean Sea beginning on June 9 and subsequently moved across Central America. Eventually, the system entered the Gulf of Mexico, though further development was interrupted by unfavorable wind shear. After conditions became somewhat more favorable, the wave developed into Tropical Depression Two on June 18. The depression slowly strengthened as it tracked west-northwestward and eventually north-northwestward across the western Gulf of Mexico.[28] By June 19, the depression became Tropical Storm Arlene. At 0900 UTC on the following day, Arlene made landfall on Padre Island, Texas with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h). The storm quickly weakened inland and degenerated into a remnant low pressure area on June 21.[29]
In El Salvador, rainfall from the precursor tropical wave caused mudslides throughout the country, which in turn resulted in 20 fatalities. Immense amounts of precipitation in Mexico caused flooding in the states of Veracruz, Campeche, Yucatán, San Luis Potosí, Quintana Roo, Nuevo León, and Jalisco. 5 deaths and $33 million in damage was reported in Mexico.[16][30] Arlene also dropped torrential rainfall in Texas, peaking at 15.26 inches (388 mm) Angleton,[31] while precipitation amounts elsewhere was mainly between 9 and 11 inches (230 and 280 mm). Throughout the state, numerous roads were inundated and more than 650 houses, including 25 mobile homes, suffered water damage.[32] Agriculture losses in eastern Texas include 20% of cantaloupe, 10% of watermelon, and 18% of tomatoes.[33] 1 fatality occurred and damage in Texas reached $22 million. Overall, Tropical Storm Arlene caused 26 deaths and $55 million in losses.[16]
Tropical Storm Bret[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|August 4 – August 11
|Peak intensity
|60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min) 1002 mbar (hPa)
A westward-moving tropical wave developed into Tropical Depression Three while located about 1,150 miles (1,850 km) west of Cape Verde on August 4. The depression strengthened and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Bret on the following day. It strengthened slightly and reached winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and maintained that intensity until crossing Trinidad on August 7. Later that day, Bret made landfall near Macuro, Venezuela, before briefly re-emerging into the Caribbean Sea. Bret made another landfall in Venezuela on August 8 and crossed northern Colombia.[34] It weakened over the mountainous terrain and fell to tropical depression intensity over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Bret re-strengthened to a 45 mph (75 km/h) tropical storm before making landfall in southern Nicaragua on August 10. It crossed into the Pacific Ocean and dissipated, although it later regenerated into Hurricane Greg.[35]
In Trinidad, winds left 35,000 people without electricity,[36] while rainfall caused minor damage to crops and roads, with losses totaling to about $909,000.[37] Rainfall in Venezuela reached 13.3 inches (340 mm) in some areas. As a result, widespread mudslides were reported, which in turn destroyed 10,000 houses and caused 173 deaths. 1 fatality was reported in neighboring Columbia.[7] In Nicaragua, the storm destroyed 850 houses and damaged an additional 1,500.[38] Overall, 35,000 people were left homeless in that country.[7] In addition, the destruction of 25 medical centers, 10 schools, and 10 churches occurred. Road infrastructure damage was also reported, with 12 bridges collapsing during the passage of Bret.[38] There were 10 fatalities in Nicaragua, 9 of which were drowning victims after a Spanish vessel sank. Overall, Tropical Storm Bret caused 184 deaths and about $25 million in damage.[7]
Tropical Storm Cindy[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|August 14 – August 17
|Peak intensity
|45 mph (75 km/h) (1-min) 1007 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave entered the Atlantic Ocean from northwest Africa on August 8. It traversed the Atlantic and organized into Tropical Depression Four on August 14, while located within 100 miles (160 km) to the north of Barbados. After six hours, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Cindy, while crossing the island of Martinique. Due to a poor upper-level structure, Cindy barely intensified as it tracked west-northwestward across the eastern Caribbean Sea. Nonetheless, the storm peaked with winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) on August 16. However, interaction with the terrain of Hispaniola caused Cindy to weaken. Late on August 16, the storm had been reduced to a tropical depression, around the time of landfall near Barahona, Dominican Republic. Cindy rapidly weakened inland and dissipated by early on August 17.[39][40]
The storm dropped torrential rainfall in Martinique, peaking at 15.55 inches (395 mm) in Saint-Joseph, which fell in only two hours. Further, 2.75 inches (70 mm) fell in just six minutes.[41] Several rivers overflowed as a result,[42] which in turn caused widespread flooding and mudslides.[18][43] Several roads were washed out, numerous cars were swept away, and at least 150 houses were destroyed,[17][18] leaving about 3,000 people homeless.[17][44] Overall, the storm caused 2 fatalities, 11 injuries, and ₣15 million ($2.7 million) in damage.[17][18][40] On other Lesser Antilles, the storm caused minimally impact, limited to mostly small amounts of precipitation, light winds, and minor beach erosion, especially on Puerto Rico.[45] In Dominican Republic, street and minor river flooding was reported, which effected hundreds of residents. In addition, Cindy left 2 deaths in the Dominican Republic.[40][46]
Tropical Storm Dennis[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|August 23 – August 28
|Peak intensity
|50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1000 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave and its associated low pressure area emerged into the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa on August 21. By the following day, two METEOSAT satellites indicated that the system had a distinct cyclonic rotation and increasing deep convection. At 1200 UTC on August 23, Tropical Depression Five developed while located about 415 miles (668 km) west-southwest of Brava, Cape Verde. Initially, a weak deep-layer mean flow caused the depression to track west-northwest. It is estimated that by 1200 UTC on August 24, the depression became Tropical Storm Dennis, based on satellite imagery.[47]
Early on August 25, Dennis attained its peak intensity with winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,000 mbar (30 inHg). After peak intensity, a relatively strong mid- to upper-level trough caused Dennis to turn north-northwestward on August 26. Thereafter, an increase in vertical wind shear and a decrease in sea surface temperatures (SST's) caused the storm to begin weakening. Eventually, the low-level circulation became nearly void of deep convection. On August 27, Dennis was downgraded to a tropical depression. The storm later curved west-southwestward, while located about midway between Bermuda and the southernmost islands of Cape Verde.[47]
Hurricane Emily[edit]
|Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
|August 22 – September 6
|Peak intensity
|115 mph (185 km/h) (1-min) 960 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave passed through Cape Verde on August 17. The system moved northwestward and slowly acquired a low-level center of circulation. At 1800 UTC on August 22, Tropical Depression Six developed while located several hundred miles east-northeast of the Lesser Antilles on August 22. Initially, it headed northwestward while minimal intensification, though by August 25, the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Emily. The storm then became nearly stationary while southeast of Bermuda and steadily strengthened during that time. Late on August 26, Emily briefly became a hurricane, though it weakened back to a tropical storm early on the following day. However, by late on August 27, Emily was a hurricane once again. The storm then moved northwestward and maintained Category 1 intensity until becoming a Category 2 hurricane on August 31. By 1800 UTC, Emily became a Category 3 hurricane, while just offshore Cape Hatteras.[48]
However, the storm veered out to sea later on August 29 and weakened, falling to tropical storm intensity while located northeast of Bermuda on September 3. After curving southward and then back to the northeast, Emily weakened to a tropical depression on September 4. The storm lost all tropical characteristics on September 6, while located several hundred miles southeast of Newfoundland.[49] The outerbands of Emily lashed the Outer Banks of North Carolina with heavy rainfall, high tides, and strong winds.[49] The combination of those effects damaged 553 homes beyond repair.[7] Sinkholes formed along North Carolina Highway 12 and strong winds uprooted trees, downed power lines, and tore off roofs.[50] Further north, two fishermen near Nags Head drowned, while a 15-year old boy also drowned. Light rainfall was also reported in Maryland and Delaware.[19][50] Losses reached $45 million, with all damage in North Carolina.[19][20]
Hurricane Floyd[edit]
|Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
|September 7 – September 10
|Peak intensity
|75 mph (120 km/h) (1-min) 990 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave crossed the west coast of Africa on August 28. Although had it a well-defined low-level circulation, the system was not classified as a tropical cyclone. While tracking west, deep convection diminished and was nearly non-existent by August 31, though the cloud pattern began re-developing on September 3. Eventually, the system curved northwestward and remained well away from the Lesser Antilles. Because a reconnaissance flight into the system indicated a low-level circulation with persistent deep convection, it is estimated that the system became Tropical Depression Seven at 1200 UTC on September 7, while located about 440 miles (710 km) north-northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Only six hours after becoming a tropical cyclone, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Floyd. Initially, strong southwesterly wind shear prevented further significant intensification.[51]
The storm accelerated north-northwestward after becoming embedded within fast air currents, which was as Floyd moved between a strong trough and a subtropical high pressure area. Later on September 8, the storm passed about 230 miles (370 km) west of Bermuda.[51] By early on September 9, convection developed along the once exposed low-level circulation. After a buoy reported a two-minute sustained wind speed of 69 mph (111 km/h) and an eye appeared on satellite imagery, Floyd was upgraded to a hurricane at 1800 UTC on September 9. While accelerating at nearly 52 mph (84 km/h), the storm began losing tropical characteristics as a result of colder sea surface temperatures and became extratropical at 1800 UTC on September 10. The remnants of Floyd continued rapidly eastward and struck Brittany, France, at an intensity equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane.[52] While passing southeast of Newfoundland, the storm produced light rainfall, peaking at about 0.86 inches (22 mm).[53]
Hurricane Gert[edit]
|Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
|September 14 – September 21
|Peak intensity
|100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min) 970 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave emerged into the Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of Africa on September 5. The system slowly organize while tracking across the Atlantic Ocean and much of the Caribbean Sea; it developed into Tropical Depression Eight while located north of Panama on September 14. On the following day, the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Gert before moving ashore in Nicaragua. After weakening back to a tropical depression, it proceeded into Honduras[54] and reorganized into a tropical storm over the Gulf of Honduras on September 17. Gert made landfall in Belize on the following day and again weakened back to a depression while inland. After crossing the Yucatán Peninsula, Gert emerged over warm water in the Bay of Campeche, and strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane on September 20. The hurricane then made a final landfall on the Gulf Coast of Mexico near Tuxpan, Veracruz, with winds of 100 mph (165 km/h). Rugged terrain quickly disrupted its structure and Gert entered the Pacific Ocean as a tropical depression near the state of Nayarit on September 21. Five days later, the depression dissipated near Baja California.[55]
Because Gert had a broad wind circulation, it produced widespread and heavy rainfall across Central America, which, combined with saturated soil from Tropical Storm Bret a month earlier, caused significant flooding of property and crops. Although hurricane force winds occurred upon landfall in Mexico, the worst effects in the country were due to flooding and mudslides induced by torrential rain.[56] Following the overflow of several rivers,[57][58][59] deep flood waters submerged extensive parts of Veracruz and Tamaulipas and forced hundreds of thousands to evacuate, including 200,000 in the Tampico area alone.[15] The heaviest rainfall occurred further inland over the mountainous region of San Luis Potosí, where as much as 31.41 inches (798 mm) of precipitation were measured.[60] In the wake of the disaster, the road networks across the affected countries were severely disrupted and thousands of people became homeless.[15] Extensive, but less severe flooding occurred in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Throughout the effected areas, flooding damaged or destroyed more than 40,000 buildings.[13][15][56][61][62] The storm caused at least 102 fatalities and more than $170 million (1993 USD) in damage.[10][11][12][13][14][15][63]
Hurricane Harvey[edit]
|Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
|September 18 – September 21
|Peak intensity
|75 mph (120 km/h) (1-min) 990 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave passed south of Cape Verde on September 12. By the following day, satellite imagery indicated a cloud system center. The system tracked northwestward across the Atlantic Ocean with slow further development. Due to interaction with an upper-level low on September 18, the system began to significantly organize. After a ship known as ELFS reported winds of 43 mph (69 km/h), it is estimated that Tropical Depression Nine developed at 1800 UTC on September 18, while located about 400 miles (640 km) south-southeast of Bermuda. The depression initially moved north-northwest, though an approaching short-wave trough eventually caused it to northeastward.[64]
Convection remained disorganized and the low-level circulation was exposed on September 19. However, by the following day, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Harvey. Thereafter, the storm began to rapidly intensify and developed an eye appeared on satellite imagery. While accelerating northeastward, Harvey was upgraded to a hurricane at 1800 UTC on September 20. However, decreasing sea surface temperatures caused Harvey to immediately weaken back to a tropical storm, while also losing tropical characteristics. At 1800 UTC on September 20, Harvey transitioned into an extratropical cyclone while located well east of Newfoundland. Six hours later, the extratropical remnants of Harvey were absorbed into a frontal band.[64]
Tropical Depression Ten[edit]
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|September 29 – September 30
|Peak intensity
|35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min) 1008 mbar (hPa)
Tropical Depression Ten developed about 185 miles (298 km) southeast of Bermuda at 1800 UTC on September 29.[21] Initially, convection associated with the depression was confined to north and east of the center.[65] The depression was difficult to track, though wind observations in Bermuda suggested that it passed just north of the island between 0300 and 0700 UTC on September 30. Although no intensification was predicted, the National Hurricane Center noted that interaction with the approaching cold front could result in baroclinic strengthening.[66] The depression did not organize further and merged with the cold front at 0000 UTC on October 1.[21]
Storm names[edit]
Below is a list of names used for systems that reached at least tropical storm intensity in north Atlantic Ocean during the 1993 Atlantic hurricane season.[67] This was the same list used for the 1987 season.[68] Following the season, the World Meteorological Organization did not retire any names,[69] resulting in the entire list being re-used in the 1999 season.[70] Names that were not assigned during the 1993 Atlantic hurricane season are marked in gray.

Amazing Italian
If there's one thing Guy could eat all day, it's Italian food. And on DDD, he's tasted all kinds of authentic varieties derived from all over the boot. From scratch-made tortellini and house-cured bresaola at the Italian Corner to the native Italian chef at Cafe Citti dishin' out polenta with porcini sauce to the decadent pork sandwiches at Marie's Italian Specialties. And who could forget the legendary lobster ravioli at Rino's Place, or the out of bounds beef cheek manicotti they're serving up at Torinos' at Home? These joints are cranking out homemade Italian dishes that'll rival Nonna's home cooking. (Episode: DVSP15H)

'Casino Jack': An American Dream on Meth
Kat Murphy, Special to MSN Movies
Onetime super lobbyist Jack Abramoff famously warned director Alex Gibney ("Casino Jack and the United States of Money") that no one bought tickets to documentaries; he advised him instead to "make an action movie." (Trust the guy who once produced Dolph Lundgren's "Red Scorpion" to sniff out where his own lifestory might breed the biggest bucks!) Clearly, George Hickenlooper took that advice to heart. In "Casino Jack," trying to gin up adrenalized action in what's fundamentally a movie about political palm-greasing, he throws in Greek mafiosi, New Jersey hitmen and, scariest of all, vengeful bimbos. The movie conjures a darkside American Dream, crassified to the max and running on a meth high.
Related: More on Jack Abramoff | More on Kevin Spacey
Turbo-charging the narrative -- aping the style but not the art of "Goodfellas" -- Hickenlooper gleefully exposes the comic/lethal symbiosis between venal lobbyists and legislators in our nation's capital. But genuine funny isn't often forthcoming in this socio-political immorality play, mostly because the political caricature doesn't come near the bite and snap of a top-notch "Doonesbury" strip.
Let's recap for a moment, since amnesia doesn't just afflict Congress and the media these days. As a K Street wheeler-dealer a decade or so ago, Jack Abramoff traded favors, influence, anything that facilitated hookups between whorish legislators and folks who buy their services, like sweatshop operators in the Mariana Islands or Native American casino owners hot to tomahawk the competition. Able to work the system like nobody's business -- "he could charm a dog off a meat wagon"--Abramoff owned legislators, hung out with Tom DeLay ("the guy we all want to be when we grow up"), dropped into the Oval Office, wined and dined prospective million-dollar clients, and lived very, very large. Still, when his house of cards collapsed, it seemed no one knew or had ever met Jack Abramoff.
In their prime, Abramoff (played here by Kevin Spacey) and sleazeball sidekick Mike Scanlon (Barry Pepper in full crazed-weasel mode) scam and spend in fast-action, slowing down just long enough to gloat like kids who've buried their hot little hands in the candy jar. (Improbably toe-to-toe on a deserted airport tarmac, the two literally go gaga over a lucrative coup, high-fiving and shrieking "Show me the money!") If being trapped in the dark with a pair of hopped-up con-artists -- used car salesmen, say, or televangelists -- for an hour or so is your idea of fun times, then "Casino Jack" might be the perfect unreality show for you.
Hickenlooper thought D.C.'s high-rolling bottom-feeder was "hilarious," a perfect anti-hero ripe for sharp-toothed satire -- the kind that Moliere or Altman (see "Tanner '88") would have aced. Abramoff's life is so over the top, it reads like a bad screenplay. Watching "Fiddler on the Roof" inspired him to become an Orthodox Jew -- "If I were a rich man..." probably clinched the deal. Charmed by his own image in a bathroom mirror, Spacey's spieler extraordinaire rants about escaping from the mediocrity where most everybody lives, climaxing with the loony mantra, "I'm Jack Abramoff, and I work out!" It's nutjob narcissism, a persona reminiscent of Tom Cruise's macho self-help guru in "Magnolia."
Deploying an arsenal of mannerisms drawn from showy roles in "The Usual Suspects," "Glengarry Glen Ross," and "Swimming with Sharks," Spacey projects an ebullient, snake-eyed sociopath, who sermonizes -- in a synagogue, yet -- on God's desire that we all be liquid, financially speaking. Michael Douglas inhabited Gordon "greed is good" Gekko so wholeheartedly, he turned his Wall Street wheeler-dealer into a perfect monster for his time. In contrast, Spacey always seems to be standing a few steps behind his character, smiling knowingly, smug in his liberal superiority. The actor (with Hickenlooper's complicity?) makes Abramoff an empty suit, so that this K Street monster looks like a one-off freak, rather than jus the latest in a proliferating species.
Ultimately, it's hard to dredge up any semblance of shock or indignation when a Ohio pol speechifies to grease the way for Abramoff to buy casino cruse ships in Florida, or John McCain pretends to be outraged by the lobbyist's bad behavior when he's really chortling at the chance to nail the player who helped smear him during his 2000 presidential run. We're elbowed into outrage as Scanlon raps about the ways in which he will destroy an obstructive "Tonto," jumping up and down like a homicidal cheerleader before a wall full of sepia-toned portraits of noble, long-dead Native Americans. Get that irony, folks?
Truth be told, Washington's conclave of dunces, sell-outs and double-dealers has become so familiar it's hard to get a rise or a laugh out of business as usual. Who doesn't know politics is a flea market, where every threadbare principal can be bought for a price? "Casino Jack" plops this old, distinctly unfunny news on our doorstep as though it was fresh meat.
Kat Murphy once had the pleasure of writing a book-length comparison of Howard Hawks and Ernest Hemingway, friends and fellow travelers in fiction (Quentin Tarantino reckoned it "cool.") She's reviewed movies in newspapers and magazines (Movietone News, Film Comment, Village Voice, Film West, Steadycam) and on websites (Reel.com, Cinemania.com, Amazon.com). Her writing has been included in book anthologies ("Women and Cinema," "The Myth of the West," "Best American Movie Writing 1998"). During her checkered career, Kathleen's done everything from writing speeches for Bill Clinton, Jack Lemmon, Harrison Ford, et al., to researching torture-porn movies for a law firm. She adores Bigelow, Breillat and Denis -- and arguing about movies in any and all arenas.

This is what happens when…
…I do so many interviews in one week that I start trying to entertain myself through the answers.
"RCB: Just to give our readers a feel for who you are, could you tell us about the first comic you ever read, what made you decide to work in comics, and what the first comic you ever worked on was?
PAT SHAND: I'm the seventh son of a seventh son, born under a blood-red moon on a night when cats sang and birds meowed. Or, I'm a bearded ginger who writes funnybooks."
The interview really does give a LOT of information about the upcoming Robyn Hood sequel I'm writing, ROBYN HOOD: WANTED. Check out the whole thing right hurr.

They also realise that in a sea of competition, establishing stronger customer relationships via consistent messages and improved customer experience is an absolute must.
But how do they go about achieving these objectives?

The Incentive for Working Hard: Explaining Hours Worked Differences in the U.S. and Germany
AbstractThis paper seeks to explain the greater hours worked by Americans compared to Germans in terms of forward-looking labor supply responses to differences in earnings inequality between the countries. We argue that workers choose current hours of work to gain promotions and advance in the distribution of earnings. Since US earnings are more unequally distributed than German earnings, the same extra work pays off more in the US, generating more hours worked. Supporting this inequality-hours hypothesis, we show that in both countries hours worked is positively related to earnings inequality in cross section occupational contrasts and that hours worked raises future wages and promotion prospects in longitudinal data.

Demonic Dolphin is Watching You
Awwww, he wants to eat you.
You know what I like best about this picture? How gender plays absolutely no role.
Phillip Parker, a 14-year-old from Tennessee, took his own life on Friday after relentless bullying because he was gay. His family had reported incidents of bullying to the school, but nothing happened.
Added grandfather Paul Harris: "Because he was gay, he got mistreated physically, mentally by several people out there at the school, and I am very resentful as a result of it. After he did what he did, we found out a lot that we didn't know and there is a lot of bullying that goes on at the school."
Tennessee, by the way, has taken some of the most controversial actions in terms of LGBT issues recently. Most famously, the "Don't Say Gay" bill banning discussions of homosexuality in school is gaining momentum, and lawmakers are trying to change an anti-bullying law to exempt "condemnations of homosexuality based on religion."
My heart is broken. These tragic stories are piling up again and we need the world to notice. Tell your friends about this. Make them understand why we need to take action against bullying. Get angry. Get emotional. Contact Tennessee lawmakers. Do something. If we don't speak up, no one will.
Most importantly, if you need help, please call the Trevor Project lifeline at 1-866-488-7386, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You are important. You can get through this. We are here to help you.
Rest peacefully, Phillip. I'm so sorry we couldn't help you in time.

A major new play developed by award-winning film professor Christopher Morris has been commissioned by National Theatre Wales as one of the key cultural events to mark the centenary of the First World War.
Mametz will be a large scale, site-specific production performed in an ancient woodland near Usk, Monmouthshire, and will give audiences a vivid glimpse into life – and death – in the trenches and battlefields of the Somme.
Written by Owen Sheers, it will draw on written material from poets who fought in one of the War's bloodiest conflicts, the Battle of Mametz Wood, which killed or wounded 4,000 of the 38th (Welsh) Division of the Army. Among the soldiers who fought were several key Welsh and English war poets, including Robert Graves, David Jones, Siegfried Sasson and Wyn Griffith.
Professor Morris has been instrumental in developing the idea for the play with writer Owen Sheers and winning the commission. The play will be the opening event of 14-18 Now, a four-year season of events funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to commemorate the War.
The play has been a long journey for Professor Morris, who first came across the story of the battle in 1997, when he found a book called Up to Mametz by Wyn Griffiths in a bargain bin for £3.40. Further research revealed that many writers and poets had witnessed and written about the same battle. At the time, Professor Morris was a series producer for BBC Wales and commissioned the then presenter Owen Sheers to visit Mametz Wood and make a short film about the 'poets' battle'.
Owen Sheers also returned from that first visit with a poem, called Mametz Wood, which is now studied by children across the UK as part of their GCSE English curriculum. For the past decade, Professor Morris has gathered research and read widely on the subject, and since 2012 has been working with Owen on developing a substantial Mametz project, which was taken on by National Theatre Wales.
Professor Morris Chris, who teaches documentary practice on the Newport-based Film course at the University of South Wales, is now the Creative Associate on the production of Mametz, working closely with both Owen Sheers and theatre director Matthew Dunster.
Visit the National Theatre Wales website where you can watch a film made by Professor Morris and Owen Sheers last summer, when they returned to Mametz Wood for research.
Mametz opens on Tuesday 24th June and will run until Saturday 5th July (except Sundays) at Great Llancayo Upper Wood, near Usk, NP15 1HS. Tickets cost £20 / £15 and will be available from 4th April at the Wales Millennium Centre box office on 029 2063 6464.

Mama is a terrifying success.
Full Review | Original Score: 8.8/10
Screen International
Mama is a serviceable scary movie that never quite coheres into something special.
National Post
Devotees of this genre should make a point of seeing the film, if only because it's a great example of how to be creepy without resorting to clich�. But don't expect any true horror to emerge, at least in the traditional sense.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Austin Chronicle
Haunting and extremely atmospheric, Mama is a horror film imbued with an unsettling and affecting power.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Globe and Mail
The problem is that [the] movie barely meets the minimum generic requirements, and thus comes off as pretentious for presuming to hover so airily above them.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
[The movie] has more integrity than its creepshow peers. The story basically comes down to a dead-looking woman who doesn't want to be a mother fighting for parental custody against a long-dead woman who does. (Grad students, start your theses.)
Full Review | Original Score: C+
SFX Magazine
Mama plays its hand curiously early and suffers for it.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Film Threat
There's a lot of imagination in the film's scare tactics that remind me of the disturbing charm of Val Lewton movies of old.

Film Freak Central
I can't hate a film operating at this level cinematically. But I can try.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Seven Days
Maternal-instinct-versus-the-monster is such a horror clich� that it feels almost subversive to watch a movie where the protagonist is a reluctant 'mom.'
Full Review | Original Score: 7/10
Movie Chambers
The story-telling may be a bit confused at times. But, you've got to love the genuine scares and images that "Mama" brings to the table.
Full Review | Original Score: B
Cinema Crazed
A creepy and often heartbreaking look at family and how it can empower good. And pure evil.
Badass Digest
MAMA's a little silly and a little flawed, but it's a blast, it's original and, most importantly, it carries genuine emotional weight.
Fan The Fire
In the end the clich�s and overly repetitive plot structure can't derail what is a well-played, well-shot horror flick.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Just how scary is Mama? Put it this way; if you're suffering from constipation, this'll cure you.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
There are lots of shocks but no real surprises in Andres Muschietti's Mama, a grimy, unpleasant Canadian-Spanish co-production from the stable of Guillermo del Toro.
[Andy Muschietti, Neil Cross, Barbara Muschietti and Guillermo del Toro] have an intuitive understanding of internalized chaos... and, best of all, the pleasures of a really cool, skinny-limbed death-entity living in the closet.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
Urban Cinefile
Haunting with its tragically melancholy story, Mama doesn't treat audiences as na�ve fools. I am most impressed
Urban Cinefile
Mama delivers good old fashioned scares without cheap gross-out and even moves us by its surprising and effectively executed lengthy climactic sequence

All Critics (41) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (38) | Rotten (3)
It's an interesting way to tell a story and a devastating journey, particularly since it's based on a real-life incident.
This is a taut psychological study, based on a true story, of the complexities of personal power relationships that begins with the kind of shattering revelation that would be the conclusion of most films.
There is no whodunit here -- the horror is plain in the opening shots -- and the how is presented with great restraint, but the why remains veiled and mysterious long after the film has ended.
Our Children was inspired by a real-life Belgian tragedy, but director Joachim LaFosse has built that news item into his own micro-portrait of coercion dipped in kindness.
In terms of both plot and style (a string of one-face-then-another handheld shots), Our Children stakes everything on performance.
When the inevitable happens, Lafosse's restraint provokes dread - he's given us a real psychological understanding of the unthinkable.
Challengingly takes the anti-CNN approach to a horrific crime, as upsetting . . . in trying to make the unfathomable credible. . .the film is nuanced and thoughtful.
The audience is held in a vise of claustrophobia, and every room seems full of tiny, screaming children.
The title can refer to the children whose tragic death the film is based on but more subtly on the dependency of Mounir, a North African, on his adoptive father and that of the wife on Mounir.
Lafosse's of the material has the feel of a psychological crime scene investigation.
The film trades in a blank grimness that isn't emotionally involving as much as it is like watching some terrible accident you're helpless to prevent.
Our Children needs more heightened moments; its emphasis on quotidian frustration, while admirable (and probably accurate), just doesn't get across what ultimately made this woman snap.
Aware that a story of such grave human weight and consequence demands to be told exactingly if it is to be told at all, Lafosse's film succeeds most profoundly by refusing to phrase the inevitable question -- how could she? -- as a rhetorical one.
Expertly avoiding sensationalism, this potently acted drama reminds us of Jean Renoir's celebrated dictum, that everyone has their reasons.
Our Children isn't simply a story of a mother with post-natal depression. It's much more oblique, and, like any family, complicated than that.
A quietly violent film that will both assault and deeply move its audience.

Testicular cancer
What is testicular cancer?
Cancer that develops in a testicle is called testicular cancer or cancer of the testis.
Most testicular cancers start in the cells that develop into sperm, which are called germ cells. Usually only one testicle is affected, but in some cases, both testicles are affected.
Read more about testicular cancer.
Testicular cancer symptoms
In some men, testicular cancer does not cause any symptoms. Other men may notice one or more of the following symptoms:
- swelling or a lump in the testicle (usually painless)
- a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
- change in the size or shape of the testicle (e.g. hardness or swelling)
- a feeling of unevenness.
Read more about the symptoms of testicular cancer.
Testicular cancer statistics
- Testicular cancer is a rare cancer. About 690 men are diagnosed with the disease each year. This accounts for about 1% of all cancers in Australian men.
- Testicular cancer occurs most often in men aged 20-40 years.
- The average age at diagnosis is 35.
The aim of this information is to help you understand about testicularcancer. We cannot advise you about the best treatment for you. You need to discuss this with your doctors. However, we hope this information will answer some of your questions and help you think about the questions you would like to ask your doctors or other health carers.

Now the 37-square-mile nature preserve is threatened by a proposed plan to build power lines and transmission towers, ironically, to deliver "green" energy Los Angeles from geothermal, solar, and nuclear sources in southeastern California, near the Salton Sea, and Arizona The 85-mile-long "Green Path" energy corridor, being pushed by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to bring nonpolluting power to Los Angeles, would cut through two desert wildlife preserves, a national forest, and Pioneertown, a set used in the filming of countless westerns. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) and the mayor have been condemned by more than a dozen preservation and community groups for the project that threatens to destroy wildlife corridors, natural areas, and vistas.

The logo for the North Norfolk News' Claws Off campaign, which aims to save Cromer Crab Company from closure.
By Steve downes
Thursday, October 13, 2011
The Claws Off campaign has received a huge early boost after food giant Young's made a surprise pledge to keep crab and lobster processing in Cromer.
Just a week after the 90-day consultation began on the future of Cromer Crab Company, the firm's chief operating officer Pete Ward said: "We are committed to keeping that element in Cromer."
The shaft of light came as a host of celebrities, including Stephen Fry, Alan Titchmarsh and Delia Smith, got behind the bid to save the Holt Road factory and the 230 people who work there.
And a Keep it Cromer petition, organised by North Norfolk Labour Party, reached more than 4,000 signatures in barely a week of campaigning.
On Monday, North Norfolk Radio, which is supporting the Claws Off campaign, aired an hour-long special to highlight the fight.
During the show, North Norfolk Liberal Democrat MP Norman Lamb, Cromer's Labour mayor Greg Hayman and Tory cabinet member at North Norfolk District Council, Trevor Ivory agreed to get together in Cromer on Saturday to rally support.
They will be joined by North Norfolk News deputy editor Steve Downes and North Norfolk Radio programme manager Graham Lewis.
And on Wednesday, the district council will debate a motion from deputy leader and crab fisherman John Lee and Tom Fitzpatrick, cabinet member for economic development.
It says the council "notes with dismay" the risk to the future of the factory, and adds: "This council's first priority is to seek to retain the business within Cromer and to safeguard the jobs of the 230 staff employed there.
"To this end, we are working closely with the owners of the business, the staff and other stakeholders to secure this objective and fully support the campaign being run by the North Norfolk News."
Speaking on the North Norfolk Radio show, Mr Hayman said: "It's very clear that Young's are aware and have been taken by surprise at the level of support that there is for the company. I hope they are listening and thinking very carefully."
Mr Lamb said: "I think there's a fighting chance for Cromer Crab Company."
Mr Downes said: "I am delighted to join the get-together in Cromer on Saturday. There is a real head of steam building up on this issue, and this event demonstrates the appetite among people of all and no political persuasions to save Cromer Crab Company."
Despite the pledge by Young's to look to keep crab and lobster processing in Cromer being a step forward, campaigners said it would only secure a small proportion of the 230 jobs.
While morale among workers at the factory is said to be low, a change in the tone of Mr Ward's comments has added impetus to the Claws Off campaign.
Mr Ward said: "We are consulting on what we can do to improve the financial situation of the Cromer factory and turn it into a business with a long-term, sustainable base."
He added: "I think the reaction from the public highlights the iconic nature of the Cromer crab and the passion and pride in its heritage. We are looking at ways to retain the processing of Cromer crab and lobster in Cromer."
● The rally to save Cromer Crab Company will begin at 10am outside Lloyds-TSB on Church Street in Cromer on Saturday. Everybody is welcome.

Watch out for the corporate trick - we've looked at this again to make you feel better but are going to close down anyhow.

An interesting conflict of interest. Does he support Young's or does he go with his 'local produce' ethics we saw in the Sainsbury's adverts? Keep signing at www.keepitcromer.co.uk by the way.

I have just seen that Youngs are producing a Jamie Oliver range of frozen foods. Maybe JO will get onboard the campaign if he gets to hear about - his franchise is about to open a restaurant in Norwich.
