Every film that has ever been nominated for an Academy Award in any category. Enjoy!
1991 Directed by Ron Howard
Silently behind a door, it waits.
They say a blast of flames can take a life ... and hide a secret. But now firemen brothers Brian and Stephen McCaffrey are battling each other over past slights while trying to stop an arsonist with a diabolical agenda from torching Chicago.
Popular reviewsMore
Spectacular, never-ending fire and explosions but a flagrantly silly story (and perplexing double-casting of Kurt Russell as both a main character and that main character's father in a flashback.)
But for real, tremendous job with all that fire seriously there are a lot of flames.
My favorite part is when Jack Backdraft is in the building and he goes "Not so fast, fire!" and puts it out with water.
Fire! Explosions! Excitement!
The only adjective I can think of that adequately describes this hot (get it?!) mess is "sucky".
According to Ron Howard firefighters are uber-macho arseholes that belong to some weird circle jerk of a boys club and, if they were on fire, I wouldn't waste piss on.
The real star of this film is fire which really does seem to live and breathe; the rest of the cast can burn as far as I'm concerned.
My daughter wants to be a firefighter (one of the real ones that I truly admire) and I'm going to do my best to make sure she never watches this shitty film.
I couldn't finish this re-watch.
wait he is back as his son yay!!
oh its just a movie.... WHEW!
Part of Dastardly Difficult December: film nr.57
I've never been a fan of Ron Howard, simply because as a director he doesn't have anything to be a fan of. He directs like his alter ego from Happy Days, safe, pedestrian and reliable. As a result all his films are decent, with an occasional good one.
Backdraft falls in the decent category. Where it excels in its visuals and set pieces it completely falls short in its shallow and predictable script. The cast is great, apart from one of the 'I really can't act' Baldwins and their characters agreeable stereotypes. It has some great action sequences and the heat of the fires is almost tangible as it is all shot beautifully.
This is a solid film by Howard and for me one of his more enjoyable ones, even though it follows the rules just a bit too neatly.

What about the world, Ronald? What would you like to do to the whole world?
Burn it all.
See you next year, Ronald.
This is a superb action film, which is a thrilling tale about two brothers Stephen 'Bull' McCaffrey and Brian McCaffrey who lose their firefighting father who is killed in the line of duty.
When both brothers grow up to be firefighters (Kurt Russell) the elder brother who is the experienced veteran firefighter and (William Baldwin) as the younger brother who is a Probationary firefighter they must rebuild their strained relationship while fighting and solving who is starting Backdraft fires that are killing people.
Ron Howard's direction in this film is just mind-blowing, what helps Backdraft stand head and shoulders above it's competitors is the fire itself. The pyrotechnic effects are simply jaw-dropping. They obviously must have had an amazing team…
Those fire sequences.
"Backdraft" is one a movie that honors what firemen do and makes the people who watch the film have a better appreciation for the people who risk their own lives to save ours.
Ron Howard made an interesting choice having Kurt Russell play both the father and the older brother to the main character and the fact that you see two different characters is a testament as to how good of an actor Kurt Russell is.
Also credit has to be given to the effects team and cinematographer for the fire sequences in this movie.
Makes you wish you never get cought in a fire.
REally good movie, but it was ruined by Jenifer Jason Leigh and the Baldwin prick. Honestly, if they would have had ANY other person instead of Alec Baldwin's brother it would have been better. And the love interest had no room in the story, they should have just scrapped Jenifer's entire role. It they would had more Robert Dinero parts and more of Kurt Russell's family this movie would have been a master piece. Honestly, fuck Jenifer and Alec's brother for holding this movie back from it's true potential.
Baldwin is bad in this corny action movie and even manages to drag Jennifer Jason Leigh (who's underused) down close to his level of acting.
Kurt Russell's alright though.
7/30 (-12)

Loved the show. Best part was that we upgraded our seats from section C to section A! All the bands were great. Walk the Moon was exceptional. They are rising stars. Heard about the tix from goldstar's notification. So glad we went.

Anti-Abortion Calls Flood White House Telephone Lines
Anti-abortion advocates, responding to a radio request by James C. Dobson, president of Focus on the Family, a national ministry, have flooded White House phone lines with calls advocating a ban on partial-birth abortions. The deluge has tied up some lines.
Clinton adviser George Stephanopoulos is said to have called it a "good news, bad news" situation. "The good news," he said, "is I get no phone calls. The bad news is I get no phone calls."
Calls have been coming into his office at a rate of about 25 a minute for the past few days. Anyone calling Stephanopoulos now gets a recording from aide Laura Capps, who says, "Thank you for calling the office of George Stephanopoulos, senior adviser to the president."
Callers wishing "to pass on a message" to President Clinton on abortion are urged to call another number. Anyone trying to pass on the message through Stephanopoulos, Capps said, should "please understand that he has just two of us answering his telephone," and he'd rather people faxed or mailed a letter.
"We appreciate that and hope you understand," Capps' recording says. "If your call is unrelated to that issue, and you wish to speak with him, please leave a message."

I loved Cassie's character and enjoyed watching her grow throughout her struggle. There was just enough intrigue surrounding her situation and her husband that I wanted to know what the secrets were and I thoroughly enjoyed the banter, flirtation and relationship that developed between Cassie and Robbin. I thought it was unique in that she didn't really fight her feelings for Robbin. She threw it out there right away and although it seemed a little backwards, I thought it played out well and intrigued me. I liked every character in this novel including Robbin even though I thought was a little overbearing at times.
The environmental commentary throughout the novel was interesting and I liked seeing Cassie try and resolve them. Her character felt entirely real to me, and although I couldn't relate to her loss or adventure-some attitude (you would never catch me on lone overnight hikes in the mountains!), I could always understand her motives and she had so many sides that certain aspects I could relate to.
There were many interesting and poignant observations in this novel which I appreciated and many made me stop and think several times.Read more ›

Contemporary Romance -Oct 5th, 2010
4 Stars
Cassie Danner just wants to blend in and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. She is mending her heart after her husband's death. When she starts cooking for a Cross Wave, a Wyoming ranch, she finds herself strangely alive and finds her heart rate beating irregularly. This is mainly due to Robbin McKeag, an iconic actor who seems to be itching to get into arguments with Cassie.
It was really endearing to watch the sparks fly in the verbal wars between Cassie and Robb as they developed a deep affinity towards each other. However, pride and selfishness rear its head and ruin the bonds that tie them together. Robb's alcoholism and pride ends up tearing Cassie apart, and in the end, he must convince her that he has changed so that they can have a true relationship together.
Tin Welling is an exquisite writer and her voice really comes through in this novel as she slowly develops her characters. I love stories about 2nd chances and how the heart can heal. It's a very well written book that is touching and emotional.
Reviewed by Sophia from the Bookaholics Romance Book Club
In my opinion: The plot of this story was pretty good, and parts of it were well written. But, and for me this is a very big but, the language is awful. Obviously this is just my opinion, apparently lots of people in the world have no problem with this. But the 'f' word and *g-d* were in the book multiple times per page. PER PAGE. I realize that the author was painting a picture of this Robin McKeag as a rough, needy guy and maybe bad language is part of who he was...but it was overload. In addition, the graphic sexual scenes painted by the book were unnecessary. Now, I do realize that some women WANT graphic sexual scenes in the books they read. I am not one of those women. So, when Amazon asks to write "what would you have wanted to know before you purchased the product?" I say I would've wanted to know this. There was nothing on the outside of the book(front or back) to imply it would be that type of book. Usually, you can tell by the front covers showing a barely clothed man and woman wrapped around each other. Not this one, unfortunately. It would've helped me steer clear.
Some would say, it had a great, romantic ending. Well, I read the ending. And I am not convinced. There were romantic parts, to be sure, and very interesting subplots. But, it just wasn't worth it to me. Wouldn't recommend.
Cowboys Never Cry is a wonderful novel with an eclectic and vibrant cast of characters that are flawed yet incredibly realistic and likable. Heroine Cassie Danner is a female lead that is strong, independent and incredibly complex. She has a deep affinity for nature that helps heal her wounded soul following her husband's death and later provides common ground between her and Robbin McKeag. Cassie is contemplative and reflective with an uncanny ability to read people. Despite her growing feelings for Robbin, her strong self respect keeps her from settling for a quick fling with the handsome actor.
Robbin McKeag is definitely a troubled soul. Although he has a healthy relationship with his father and several close friends, he is a playboy who has never been in a committed relationship. He is also an alcoholic whose life has spun out of control. Taking a year off from his acting career, Robbin is redefining his life and his role in the family ranch. He is someone who works hard to achieve his goals, but once he realizes his goals, he does not know what to do with them. Will his feelings for Cassie change this self-destructive pattern?
Interwoven with both Cassie and Robbin's self discovery and romance is an interesting subplot about environmental issues that are sometimes at odds with the traditional rancher. Ms. Welling raises awareness of the various ways ranchers can preserve land and wildlife. It is informative without being preachy and provides added conflict to the novel.
Tina Welling's prose is flawless as she brings the Wyoming countryside and Robbin and Cassie's romance vividly to life. Unexpected snippets of humor relieve the more serious moments of this deeply moving and emotional novel. Cowboys Never Cry is heartwarming love story that I highly recommend.
The ranch in the shadows of the Grand Teton Range is owned by a father and son team. However, Cassie recognizes the younger McKeag, Robbin, who was a Hollywood superstar as an action cowboy. From their first meeting the day before she starts her job, Cassie and Robbin clash. Their gender battle continues over the next few weeks until each knows they are in love. However, his Hollywood past that he ran away from has come to Wyoming making it most likely the end of the relationship between the owner and the cook.
This is an entreating throwback romance filled with warmth and wit. The lead pair shares in common a need to move on and introspective musing as well as love. With a wonderful Wyoming setting, fans who appreciate a tender contemporary ranch romance will want to read Tina Welling's well written tale.

The NCAA men's lacrosse tournament continues Sunday with the final four games of the first round, so we asked ESPN/IL analyst Quint Kessenich to share his thoughts on each of the games with us. Here's his take on the Sunday slate, which runs from noon through approximately 9:30 p.m. ET, with all games on ESPNU.
Maryland at No. 7 Notre Dame
Noon ET | Alumni Field -- South Bend, Ind.
Quint's Take
The Fighting Irish have the nation's stingiest defense, allowing 6.13 goals per game. They pack it in defensively, protecting the middle of the field. Scott Rodgers fills up the net; his goals-against average is a measly 6.08 and he has stopped 66 percent of the shots fired on him. Maryland will get its 10- to 12-yard step-down shots and must rip the corners if it's going to advance.
On offense, Notre Dame operates out of a deuces set and Ryan Hoff is the target on the crease. Don't be surprised if Maryland plays a five-man scheme with a shorty faceguard locked onto Hoff.
Villanova at No. 1 Virginia
2:30 p.m. ET | Klockner Stadium -- Charlottesville, Va.
Quint's Take
The difference in Charlottesville will be UVa's team speed.
Getting Chris McDonald back for a fifth year was critical for the Wildcats' success in 2009. They have 13 seniors on their roster, which is a dangerous trait in May. Nova played like it had something to prove against Hofstra and Towson; it'll need that edge and more against the Cavaliers.
Virginia is third in the nation in scoring offense; it has five 20-goal scorers. The Cavs lead the country in assists per game, with many of those coming in transition. Danny Glading has 27 setups. Nova's Brian Karalunas will be tested by Glading. Karalunas is a checker -- a former hockey player who's great off the carpet -- and although not the fastest defender, he has a sneaky trail check.
The Cavs have been held to single digits just once, and that was in their last effort, a loss to Duke. Nova has never seen dodgers who are as fast as Shamel Bratton, Steve Giannone and Glading.
Virginia has had a week to ace final exams and restore egos. The Cavs feel as if they've had to apologize for their No. 1 seed after two late losses to Duke.
The Cavs are a surprising minus-7 in specialty situations; the extra-man offense hasn't meshed well in 2009. Opponents have clamped down on Brian Carroll in the 3-3 set, and the outside shooters have been just "fair."
Villanova's goalie, Andrew DiLoreto, gives up fewer than seven goals per game, good for fourth in Division I. The Wildcats' offense lacks a true bomber from the midfield. They want to jam the ball inside, so UVa has been practicing against a seventh offensive player in half-field sets this week.
UMass at No. 4 Princeton
5 p.m. ET | Class of 1952 Stadium -- Princeton, N.J.
Quint's Take
UMass has an excellent and underrated defense. I've seen the Minutemen on tape; they're very vanilla, physical and slow to slide upfield to dodgers. They trust Doc Schneider to make midrange saves; he's stopped 65.8 percent of the shots he's faced in his senior season. Princeton will have to dodge with confidence. Midfielders such as Rich Sgalardi and Scott Mackenzie will be encouraged to dodge hard to the rack for shots, not feeds. Sophomore attackman Jack McBride has found the net 34 times, but he'll be covered by Diogo Godoi.
The key to this game will be whether UMass can find a way to score on Princeton. Tigers defender Chris Peyser is a coach and captain on the crease. Princeton will slide early, forcing UMass to become passers. Only 40 percent of UMass goals have been assisted -- Bobby Hayes leads the team in helpers with only 14.
Jim Connolly leads UMass with 35 goals and likes to press the goal in transitional situations — 4-on-4s and 5-on-5s. He's less inclined to dodge when 6-on-6.
Siena at No. 2 Syracuse
7:30 p.m. ET | Carrier Dome -- Syracuse, N.Y.
Quint's Take
The MAAC has had dismal first-round results since being granted the automatic qualifier. Can Siena frustrate SU with its deliberate style? Can it win enough faceoffs and ground balls in the middle third of the field to possess the ball for long stretches?
The Saints will try to play keep-away. Tactically, the Orange defense must apply pressure to the ball and the two adjacent men, sloughing in off-ball to protect the middle of the field. Stall warnings will come early and often.
The Orange led the nation in scoring offense, with Kenny Nims chipping in more than four points per game. Stephen Keogh has 41 goals; he never misses. Siena will drop back in all riding situations to deny transition -- SU has to be patient itself and take what's available.
Saints goalie Brent Herbst has saved 63 percent of the shots fired on him and his defense is No. 2 in the nation in goals against at 6.24. But this is a different animal. Siena's early-season losses against Hopkins by eight, Albany in OT and Loyola by two will allow them to keep this one closer than Vegas expects. Otto the Orange can book his trip down to Hofstra for the quarterfinals.
Vice President Joe Biden will be speaking at SU graduation ceremonies this weekend; will he stay for the game?
Enjoy the games on ESPNU.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Courtney Williams scored 23 points and Karla Gilbert added 20 points with 15 rebounds to help Texas A&M to an 85-69 win over James Madison on Tuesday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
The victory sends the third-seeded Aggies to the round of 16 for the sixth time and their first since 2012. They missed reaching the third round last season after losing to Nebraska at home in this round.
The Aggies used an 8-2 run to build a 10-point lead early in the second half and answered each time James Madison cut the advantage. The Dukes got within seven points with about seven minutes remaining, but A&M used an 8-0 run to make it 81-66.
Kirby Burkholder led 11th-seeded James Madison with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Kirby Burkholder led 11th-seeded James Madison with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Gary Blair, Head Coach
Opening statement:
"The crowd was great. The media has been tremendous at following us for all four teams, and our local media has been outstanding. I think the turning point of the game was the last two minutes of the half. We scored those two baskets, and we missed the wide-open layup, but boy we ran the break perfectly. We miss a layup, but all of a sudden after we still had momentum. And we opened it up in the second half, ran two set plays and then we got the ball inside all night long. They were a little short-handed because of their size and sometimes that's what happens when you're at a mid-major. You do not have the 6-3, 6-4 post players consistently. You can win with six-footers. That's what I did at Stephen F. Kenny has done a great job of winning, but when the jumpers were not going early we said, 'Keep going inside. Keep going inside and get to the free throw line.' Twenty-seven free throws in the first half was outstanding. Walker got into foul trouble because I was running out of people. I kept looking, 'Who's gonna guard her next?' because we had three of them with two fouls. And it wasn't gonna be Williams. Jordan was next and I couldn't risk her on Burkholder. But I thought in the second half we wore them down a little, switched to a zone and played hope they miss. But the thing is they were getting one-and-outs and we were getting the rebound, ran a couple good transition baskets and then Jordan – 16 assists – could have had 20 if we'd have finished a couple more. But we're gonna take the win. Love the crowd, love James Madison's team. I mean they've got some special seniors on that team. Little No. 12 kid – she's gonna be a heck of a player for them in the future."
On foul calls:
"When you have one team that's trying to go inside 80%, there's going to be a disparity on fouls. That's what we are trying to do. We were going to go inside and make the whistle happen. There were a number of times in the second half that we went inside and Karla had to finish because she was getting fouled. They were not all called but she has to be tough enough to finish those. I think we earned every one of those fouls and that's all part of it. You go look at the tape on Karla's first foul of the game and let me know who she touched. So what I tried to do was I'd take her out after the first foul of the game to let the referee settle down, not my players. I want Karla to know how important she is to us; I can't let her get her second foul. I made a mistake and put Walker on 20 for a couple possessions and two fouls and about three minutes, that's how hard she is to guard. It cost me having her in there in the first half for about eight minutes. The fouls, hey I've been on that other end before. And right now we were the larger team, you go inside, you are either going to steal the pass or you're going to have to foul us."
On guarding Kirby Burkholder:
"We play this lineup because more-or-less they are a four guard team. 24 is a four-player who plays like a guard. She is an excellent player, she has a pull up jumper; I don't think we stopped it the whole night. She might have missed one or two but we didn't stop it. She was six out of 10. What you want to do when you play a great player, whether its Odyssey Sims or Shoni Schimmel or whoever, you want them to shoot under 33 percent. Under 33 percent, make them earn it, and that's what we did again tonight. I thought we did a good job, she was five out of 14. She got a little tired, but she has to do so much for that team, offensively, defensively, leadership-wise. She just knows how to get open. My players were guarding her too tight, early. She would just use her hands like a good veteran and push you off like she was Carmelo Anthony or somebody. She knew how to use her hands to get open, to post. I kept telling my girls, when she is away from the ball get off of her so when she makes a cut you can chuck her that way. She is a heck of a player, but she had to work for everything she got tonight"
On SEC Dominance:
"I'm happy for our conference. I think it's back. The SEC is back. I think it says a lot because of what we have done at the top; what all of the top fours did. I'm happy for LSU. You can see what hosting can mean. Hosting is huge because you get your crowd involved. I'm just happy for my league because I think it's very balanced and it's even going to be so much better next year. I better get on the recruiting trail which I will be by tomorrow night."
On Karla Gilbert:
"I don't think any of us, except probably Karla and her parents, knew how good she was. She didn't dominate in high school. I know where to put her, and I kept her down low the majority of her career. She's very effective. She's better with her left hand, yeah she's right-handed but she's better shooting with her left than she is right. I've never seen that in a right-hander before. She's got the heart of gold. Nothing rattles her. This is why she's going to be one of the best teachers, because you have to have patience to be a great teacher. If she goes into coaching, she's going to have to get a deeper voice, because she's got that little soprano voice. She's going to have to get mean every now and then. I love that kid to death, and she takes control of our team. She's the mama of our team. Nothing ever rattles her. I'm proud to say I was her coach."
On what he likes most about this team:
"I think we're pretty resilient. We don't get caught up on ourselves. You look at our leading scorer, she's probably the quietest kid on the team—Courtney Walker. You look at Courtney Williams, she probably has the most potential. Then you look at Karla Gilbert, she might be our most valuable player. But then you look at Jordan Jones, look what she's done that last month. You find me a point guard in the country that's done as much for her team as she has. She's been able to hit the big three when we needed it, particularly in the last five or six games. She's got all the confidence in the world right now. She's playing like a winner. I've got a lot supporting actresses. Tori Scott, there's another 3-for-3. Achiri Ade, the matchups in the last two games hasn't made me utilize her at the post as much as I could do with a four-guard lineup. I just like my team. They get along. One of our biggest thoughts today was one of the greatest gifts you can have is to be a great teammate. We have a lot kids who are great teammates to each other, particularly Kristen Grant, my senior. She's been a great teammate and a teacher. She's hasn't griped about her minutes or anything. She's just been happy to have her opportunities. Maybe we have one of those magical teams this year. We are ready for DePaul. Bring on the Blue Demons. There's not two better coaches in the game that love baseball more than Doug Bruno and I. He's a Cubs fan, and I'm a Rangers fan. We'll talk about that, and talk about fantasy baseball. I'm looking forward to talking to Doug."
On flowing at the right time:
"I think we are. What I've got to do is I've got to get more kids in the game early, because Jordan wants to run. Sometimes you look around and Jordan is leading the break and she's having to finish the break, because I have to get my wings and the post down the court a little bit quicker. Right now we feel good about ourselves, but so does everyone else in the Sweet 16. We are not a step ahead of ourselves. We're not looking for Connecticut. We are looking for Stanford or Baylor. We're looking for the big Blue Demons of DePaul. We've got a short turnaround. We have to leave out of here Thursday. By the way, all the local people the NCAA would not allow us announce that we are going to try to get a bus to Lincoln. So if you can put that in, and just have them call our offices or something. Hopefully, we can have some more information to get our fans. I haven't figured that out, why we could not announce that we going to try to get transportation. But, the NCAA knows what's best for all of us."
On embracing March Madness:
"Is there a better three weeks than what's going on in March Madness—maybe four weeks. I think for once you're not worried about who got drafted, that'll be in June. You're not worried about who signed with who. We're talking about basketball. It's a game a lot of us are experts at sitting in the stands or watching on computers. I love to watch basketball. The hardest thing for me was the two weeks we were off, I was watching too much basketball. I filled out a bracket, but I can't turn it in. So, we didn't win a billion dollars. But, my two in the Final Four for the men are Louisville and Michigan State. I think I have about 12 other teams still in there, so I haven't lost all of mine. I love it. I love what it's about. Spring training and baseball is getting ready to start. Golf, the Master's it coming, but right now it's March Madness. I think it's special, and this town, it's starting to create a buzz. I'm anxious to see how many people will actually get in the cars and drive to see us, or get on the bus, or get on an airplane and come to Lincoln. The road to perfection, or whatever ESPN is saying, look what Connecticut is doing. That was one of the most perfect basketball teams I saw when I watched the first half of that basketball game today. It's great for basketball, but it'll be ever better for basketball if there's a DePaul, or a Texas A&M or somebody like that that can get to the Final Four. So, we're all going to work hard together. We all going to compile our teams and see what we can come up with."
Jordan Jones, Sophomore, Guard
On being a flow team:
"We are pretty much a flow team, but with all the fouls called in the first half it made it difficult for us. We weren't executing our defensive plan. Coach Starkey told us at halftime that if we executed the way we had to and played with our feet and not our hands and box out, we were going to be able to get what we wanted. We were able to get out in transition. We started to get into the flow of our offense. This team really thrives in transition. Once we start pushing our offense and getting the looks that we wanted, it was hard for them to stop. In the first half, the fouls that were being called slowed us down a lot. It is more on ourselves than the refs because we know better, we know to play with our feet and not our hands. Coach Starkey is a great defensive coach. He really came into halftime and made some good adjustments."
Karla Gilbert, Senior, Forward
On the offensive performance today:
"Basically, we were flowing today. We got to beat them from the inside first. Our guards were awesome today. They were penetrating the basket and knocking down shots. It made it hard to play both. They were trying to sit on me, but with everyone else playing like that it made it hard for them to play both. We had great passing with the 16 assists from Jordan."
On continuing the season:
"I'm excited. I'm looking forward to everything we have coming for the future. We're not done. We're not willing to settle. We're excited. I'm ready to get back out there tomorrow. I'm ready to finish this senior season off with a great ending."
On the intensity level of teams in the NCAA Tournament:
"I think the intensity level is at its highest peak because everybody knows what is on the line. You're one and out in the tournament, after that you're getting ready for the next season. Everybody is putting their head out there on the line and they're ready to give it all they've got. Coach Starkey was talking about being relentless and that's exactly what teams have to be in this tournament."
On moving past the second round after last season:
"I'm glad we're beyond this game. That's all I could think about when I was going to sleep last night. It was hard for me to sleep. We couldn't end it by playing at Reed Arena. That's all that was going through my head. I'm just proud of my team. I know we're not done. We're hungry. We're ready to keep going."
Courtney Williams, Sophomore, Guard
On her offensive performance:
"I tried to take what the defense gave me and find the open gaps. When I did get the ball in transition, I just tried to find my teammates. I'm not a selfish player. We're a flow team, as well as play good transition defense. We create turnovers and get easy buckets. If we can continue to do that, we'll keep on playing."
On moving past the second round after last season:
"We didn't want it to end like last year. We didn't like that feeling. We wanted to come out here and give it our all. Me and my teammates, we want to go as far as we can. We gave it our all. We showed that on the court with our passion and aggression in the second half."

Tori Scott, Junior, Guard
On what Aggies did to slow Kirby Burkholder:
"We tried to really stay on the ball, stay in her face. Sometimes it worked; sometimes it didn't. She's a really good player and had counter moves. We just basically tried to put forth effort and energy to guard her."
On JMU's first-half foul trouble:
"It helped big time, because we were able to get her [Burkholder] out of the game at the most important time of the game. That was really important to us."
On the Aggies' six-point play in the first half that gave A&M momentum:
"That helped a lot because it gave us momentum. The crowd got back into the game. Even our bench was able to cheer on our teammates, that was really good."
On how good the win feels after the loss to Nebraska at home last year:
"It feels really good finally able to move on and get past where we were last year."
On quick start in second half:
"Coach Blair's speech. He's not really big on slamming his hand on the table or things like that. When he does it, it motivates us a little bit more. He did that today. The message came across."
On playing DePaul:
"We'll be ready for whoever we play. We just have to be focused and relaxed and just play basketball how we know how to play."
Courtney Walker, Sophomore, Guard
On key to her big scoring game:
"Just taking what was given to me. They were really in a pressure man. We really wanted to look inside. We were playing inside-out anyway. Other games we start to shoot more jumpers when our posts are in foul trouble or it's not working or they're doubling or something. It was just going. Karla [Gilbert] had an amazing game, and we just kept feeding it to her. There was no reason to shoot a lot of jump shots, so I think that's what kept me efficient."
On it being a tough game to play with all the fouls in the first half:
"It seemed like you would slide or as soon as you touched somebody, especially with like No. 20 [Kirby Burkholder], she has some great moves. You try to stay in front of her, but as soon as you touch them, it was almost a foul automatically. So we just tried to adjust. I think we did that in the second half, and I think they loosened up a little bit."
On JMU being in foul trouble in first half:
"We have a deeper bench than they do. I know I was in foul trouble. We had a couple of people with one who were playing kind of off. Our bench came in and did a great job. We're much deeper than they are, so I think when our bench came on, compared to theirs, we were able to play. Our bench was a lot more comfortable and confident playing."
On job they did on Kirby Burkholder:
"I was guarding 24 [Jazmon Gwathmey], because she's more like a guard. But on 20 [Burkholder] we were playing her like we do great players from other teams. That was Tori [Scott]. No catch. No help. None of that. They like to do the European three action a lot with her as well as run off a lot of double screens and back screens as you're trying to help on other screens. So it was just no help, no catch for her. Tori did a great job."
On how this feels after losing to Nebraska here last year:
"We've been going James Madison, James Madison. But when we got to the locker room today, they had the Nebraska film running on our computers. So it was a big reminder. Come in and be focused. It doesn't matter the opponent. We just have to play our game. We really got our minds focused, and we went over things we wanted to do against each player and the advantages we wanted to take against them. We were able to go out there and execute."
Kenny Brooks, Head Coach
Opening statement:
"Tonight just wasn't our night. Congratulations to Texas A&M. I thought they played a tremendous game. I thought they made shots. They took advantage of a lot of situations – getting to the free throw line, pounding the ball inside, so congratulations to them as they move on to the Sweet Sixteen. I want to also congratulate these two ladies sitting to my right (seniors Nikki Newman and Kirby Burkholder). They have taken our program to a different level and I appreciate every ounce of effort, their gratitude, their love for James Madison and this program, and I love what they have done for the future of our program because the rest of the kids on our team have had two of the greatest leaders to follow. I really appreciate their efforts, and they fought to the very end and I really appreciate it. Tonight just wasn't our night. We came up short, got in foul trouble and Texas A&M cashed in on that opportunity."
On the foul trouble:
"It handcuffed us. I felt that for the majority of the game I was managing playing time and trying to keep kids fresh. I thought that because of the foul trouble, kids had to play extensive minutes in the first half, so we really didn't have legs in the second half. We played zone way more than I anticipated or wanted to. I thought A&M really got comfortable against our zone and they hit the sweet spots. There was really nothing that we could do about it because if we had tried to play man, we would have been in foul trouble even further. We've been like that this year, where if we've been in foul trouble, it kind of dampers our enthusiasm a little bit, or our ability to get out in transition, or our ability to extend our defense. Tonight I wanted to do a little bit more, but we weren't able to because of the foul trouble."
On the team's good start:
"This is a very confident group. They feel like they can play with anyone, and I thought we were proving that in the beginning. I thought we had a really good flow. I thought Toia was really into the game. We got the basketball to her in some areas and we really needed her scoring presence down low in order for us to be successful. When she got her second foul in the first half, it handcuffed us. We just didn't have that flow. And then Nikki's play happened. To know that kid, she's very emotional. I don't think she was directing anything derogatory towards the official, she was really just trying to be emotional and get the team going. That hurt when she got the technical foul because that was her third foul. When you have Toia and Nikki on the bench in the first half, you're just not able to be yourself and I think that really hurt us."
On Courtney Williams:
"I thought she played well. I won't take anything away from what they did. I thought they exploited our defense but I thought we played zone a little too long, but it was out of necessity. She found the sweet spot. She did a really good job. Her length is bothersome. She jumped on top of our kids a few times. She had her stroke going tonight. She is a very good player. Obviously she is an All-SEC player. She stepped up tonight and she proved it. They made shots. They made shots. We were down four points in the first half and they banked a three. They had 19 free throws. She was a load but so was Karla and the rest of the girls."
On possible momentum shift after technical foul on Nikki Newman:
"I guess you are in the media and you have to try to find something, but it wasn't that play. You can look at it as a monumental play. I think there wasn't any more importance to that play than a couple of assignments. Nikki Newman has done a fantastic job for us. I had a long conversation with the official, just explaining that I thought it was emotion. Nothing was really directed. That play, it hurt because it gave her three fouls. I think we had a six point lead or something at one point. We still were in the basketball game. If that was a monumental play, it didn't lose the game for us or anything. If she could take it back, I know she would."
On the first half performance:
"I guess for you guys it was really good and for the fans it was really good, for the fans it was really good, but for our coaches who really want some defense to be played; I just kept saying: 'we've got to play better defense, we've got to stop them.' I thought our offense had things going and we played it well enough offensively to keep us in the game. Our defense was strained because we had to go to the zone for too long, and we knew it. We had conversations about it. We couldn't afford anymore foul trouble. I didn't know if I was going to have enough players to finish the game the way the first half was going-they shot 26 free throws in the first half. It was good for TV, it was good for media and it had good flow. I think it was something like 47-43 at halftime, which I don't know if we've given up 47 points in a half all year long. It was kind of choppy in the second half with the fouls and what not."
On what he told the team after the game:
"I told them I was proud of them. I thought they represented our university to the utmost all year long. It was probably the best season I've ever had as a coach. We weren't what we are now at the beginning of the season. We really came together as a team and made sacrifices. Then I addressed the seniors, and I thanked them for what they have done for this university. They're great ambassadors. I told the underclassmen that they've had great leadership and mentorship all year from those kids, and if they want to come and lead as decorated and celebrated as those two kids, they've got the formula, because Nikki and Kirby have done so much for our university. It's bittersweet for me because they got to this point, and I've known both of those kids since they were ten years old. To see what they've accomplished is amazing, but to know that it's over is a little bit bitter for me. The whole team is disappointed because we thought we had a Sweet-16 caliber basketball team. But this is a year to celebrate because we've accomplished so many things. We have to fight and scratch to get any type of respectability on the national stage, and I think that this weekend, if anything, we've proven that we're a very good basketball team, a program that should be noted as one of the better programs in the country in the country."
On A&M holding them to so few points in the second half:
"Again, no disrespect to what they did. I am just focused on us and I just felt like we couldn't get into our flow. Kirby picked up her fourth foul with about 11 minutes to go. She sat beside Toia Giggetts who already had four fouls and then we had to rely on kids who do not normally have to score for us. When you take your two top scorers and they both have four fouls with 11 minutes to go in the game, you have to find different ways to score. This is game 35. I don't think we are going to try anything new. It was just disjointed because of the fouls and you can't get into a flow. I think, the way the second half started, you would think myself and Coach Blair had never coached defense. It was just really good offense and it got going. Before we knew it, a couple plays had gotten away and we were down 10 and we were chasing them the rest of the game. I am sure Coach Blair will come up here and he will tell you what they did to us. Right now, I am just focusing on us and I will just tell you that we never really got into a flow."
Kirby Burkholder, Senior, Guard
On Gilbert's performance in the paint:
"She's big. She was able to draw a lot of fouls on us. Sometimes she would be up there, and we really didn't know how. Our post weren't as tall, so that was an advantage for them. She made a lot or she got a lot of fouls."
On frustration from shooting trouble:
"I wasn't really that frustrated shooting. I'm just out there trying to do the best that I can. I didn't shoot the best these past two games. I mean it is a little frustrating, but that's how it goes sometimes. I don't think it took my confidence down as a shooter overall. It's just how it ended up happening."
On this season as a whole:
"It's really hard to describe. It's just been very special. This…all my teammates. It's been one of the most unselfish teams I've played with. We have the true definition of a team. Even our regular season and our conference tournament, winning that and winning the first round, and even this game. We can't hang our heads. It's hard right now, but looking back, it's been a very good season with some very special girls.
Nikki Newman, R. Senior, Forward/Guard
On her technical foul:
"It was a spur of the moment type thing. My emotions got a little out of hand. I wasn't directing anything at anybody. I was upset with myself. I just got a foul for our team."
On foul trouble's effect on game time:
"It kind of affected our momentum in the game. You know it's hard playing in a game like that, but you have to adjust. I think there's times where we didn't adjust to how the game was being called and being in foul trouble. Those girls came in, and they played their hearts out as well. They kept us in the game for a very long time, but sometimes that's just how things go."
On Kirby's trouble shooting this game:
"I don't think it put a damper on her career. The amount of things that she's done for us this season, and she came out yesterday, or the game against Gonzaga. Her shot wasn't falling but she was everywhere else. She was grabbing rebounds. She was being a leader. So it doesn't put a damper on anything she's done this far."
On this season as a whole:
"What Kirby said. You can't really put into words what this season's been. Just from the support that we've gotten from JMU Nation, our fans, our administration, family, friends. It goes beyond miles from what anybody could have wished for. We fell a little short, but this team has had the most heart out of any team I've played with. It's just definitely a season to remember."
Toia Giggetts, Junior, Forward
On JMU being in foul trouble:
"We weren't able to do what we planned out to do, being in foul trouble and everything. We couldn't play as aggressive as we wanted to also."
On A&M's six-point play in the first half turning the momentum:
"It hit us kind of hard. It got their crowd a little bit louder and picked them up a little bit, and then them being at home, it really fired them up. We tried to stay together."
On A&M's inside game with their size advantage:
"It was definitely their game plan to go into us. We tried to keep it together, but foul trouble kept us from doing what we wanted to."
On JMU's season:
"We wish we could have gone further. We can't look down. We had a great season."
On A&M's quick start in second half:
"Coming into the second half, we wanted to keep them off the line, but we still kept getting into foul trouble. We just had to talk more on defense and never really got there."
Jazmon Gwathmey, Sophomore, Guard
On key to her big scoring game:
"I didn't want to stop. I didn't want to stop playing. It sucks that we lost. In my head, I was like, 'Just go all out. If we lose, then at least I went out with a bang.' That was my mindset."
On JMU's foul trouble, especially in the first half:
"It killed us. Kirby [Burkholder] had two fouls. Toia [Giggetts] had two fouls. Nikki [Newman] had three. It killed us. Those are our main players right there. That's something we've got to work on next year. These foul changes in the NCAA, I mean, it's a good thing and a bad thing. We're so aggressive on defense. We've just got to build on it, and be smarter on defense. Next season, we'll be back. This is a good thing for us."
On A&M's six-point play in the first half:
"It gave them momentum. Like we said before we even stepped on the court, they're going to go on runs. That's when we circle the wagons and stay together. That's what we did. I don't think we ever panicked. We kept trading baskets for most of the time, but then they went on their stretch. Their bigs inside were doing what they were supposed to be doing. It was just hard to stop them."
On building on this season:
"We know we can play with the big dogs. We're going to come in next season with the same mentality. Who knows? Maybe we'll be back in good ol' Bryan-College Station, Texas, again."

Business.There is a quantitative correlation between labor (costs) and production (profits). What occurred Monday at Walgreens was not simply the "elimination of overtime."It was a massive across the board pay cut.Managers are scheduled for 44 hours per week. Tasks such as revisions, resets, price changes, ordering, etc, are factored based upon a 44-hour work week. The compensation package for assistant managers was figured on a 44-hour work week, four of which hours were overtime.I know of no assistant manager, or EXA, or young store manager who was NOT assured and promised 44 hours a week upon being hired. What happened this week is that assistant managers just took between a $4800 and $5500 pay cut--and for absolutely no acceptable reason.Deerfield idiots spend the money stores make faster than the stores can make it. Stores succeed IN SPITE of Deerfield. Walgreens incessant addiction to acquisition is frightening. And the money some of these acquisitions is losing, such as Take Care and WHS isn't frightening--it's nightmarish.Last year in fiscal 2008, Jeff Rein approved the creation of $2.9 million in NEW salaried senior executive positions in Deerfield that had no predecessor, nor any clear responsibility. This does not include the additional senior exec positions created through acquisition of companies and the subsequent promotion of THEIR senior executives.Deerfield feeds itself before it feeds its help. Problem is, the stores can operate without Deerfield. Charles Walgreen set up his company for stores to run autonomously. Dose of Dave, Rein, and now Wasson have completely destroyed that--while at the same time, talking out of both sides of their mouths.Deerfield will still get bonuses--bonuses paid for via the pay cuts inflicted on assistant managers.If Walgreens store management was unionized, 95% of all Walgreens stores would be closed this week due to management picketing their stores.
"If Walgreens store management was unionized, 95% of all Walgreens stores would be closed this week due to management picketing their stores."There you go. A pure UNION ASSHOLE.Dude, when you want to talk about business, let me know.You and your union brethren only try to make it an employee vs employer scenariou. Your unions drive more companies into the ground and for what reason? To pad the pockets of the union leaders. So you can go to junkets to Aruba on their dime.Unions are a bad bad thing. They tie business' hands. They cost the company money. Unions ultimately KILL companies. Guess what happens then? The company no longer exists and THE EMPLOYEE DOES NOT HAVE A JOB. However, the Union Leaders continue to go on their junkets and bring home their fat paychecks.Wanna debate this. Lets go. I will kick your butt just like I have kick other union a-holes in the past.
Wall street ties businesses hands way more than unions!!! The company makes money because of the employee way more than because of a shareholder. The shareholder drive for short term profit makes a company, such as banks focus on the current and not the long term sustainability of the company, so when market conditions change their screwed because they focus so much on the now! The union is a saint compared to the shareholder. Walgreens or any company could survive without you, the shareholder, without the employee, the people, the faces in the stores, a company is nothing. The problem is walgreens tried to increase shareholder value by adding stores too fast to satisfy you dumb shareholders and wall streets greed. Walgreens is in this mess of too fast expansion because of you the shareholder. Instead a better look would be at more attractive business departments in the company, not 1000s stores a year. Some miss management for sure, but the worker has done nothing but do their part and increase sales, and we get pay cut. Unions can be very bad, but when a company takes advantage of job market conditions - hard to get another job, and yes sales are up, the worker is getting taken advantage of. So, why not a union? Oh, thats right its cause the fat shareholder on the computer wants to be lazy and get cash, at the expense of the hard worker. Unions are comming, it mine and ever other workers right to unionize you wags! It will teach shareholders a lesson. We have the right to be a union without punishment. Its the law, we have the right, go suck an egg!

Capcom Hiring For New Fighting Game
Written Thursday, October 24, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Capcom is hiring for a new fighting game, possibly (probably) for the next generation of consoles.
That's according to Street Fighter executive producer Yoshinori Ono, who revealed on Twitter that Capcom is looking for a game designer and programmer, specifically to create a "New Fighting Game."
"I want.... no, Capcom wants Game Designer and programer for New Fighting Game," said Ono on Twitter. "Its location at Tokyo or Osaka Studio."
The game, which Ono describes as at a very early stage - "we're making preparation for development in just now" - will probably be for the next generation of consoles, though One says "I can't speak, it's imagine that.."
So, what do we want? An entirely new thing? Another Street Fighter? Rival Schools HD? Which one, eh?

For the second year, the EDPS met with civil society organisations to discuss the state of data protection and privacy in the EU. On the agenda this year was the implementation of the GDPR and the directive on data protection rules for the police and criminal justice, the review of the ePrivacy Directive, and developments in case law in the last 12 months, notably Schrems v. Data Protection Commissioner and the proposed Privacy Shield agreement.
Follow #EDPSCivSoc2016 and stay tuned!
The programme of the meeting is available here.
Implementation of GDPR: consistency, flexibility, guidelines, presentation by Anna Fielder, Privacy International
The e-Privacy Directive: what's at stake?, presentation by Prof. Ian Brown, University of Oxford
Necessity and proportionality, presentation by Ralf Bendrath, German Working Group on Data Retention and Digitale Gesellschaft
EDRi analysis on the most dangerous flexibilities allowed by the General Data Protection Regulation
E-Privacy revision: an analysis from civil society groups
For a number of years, the DPOs in the EU institutions and bodies have met at regular intervals to share common experiences and discuss horizontal issues. These meetings which take place twice a year have been a regular fixture in the EDPS calendar since 2004 since they are a valuable opportunity to listen to DPOs sharing experiences from their respective institutions with one another and with their supervisory authority - us. These meetings are also an opportunity for the EDPS to present our policies and activities to DPOs. The upcoming DPO meeting at Eurofound in Dublin on 28 April 2016 will include discussions on the EDPS' e-communications guidelines, staff appraisal, whistleblowing and cloud computing.
For more information please consult the agenda.
The EDPS, as a premier sponsor of the CPDP conference, is delighted to once again be supporting this event, which EDPS Giovanni Buttarelli has described as the epicentre for creative ideas, sharp analysis and fierce debate on privacy and data protection.
This panel will be followed in the evening by a live transatlantic discussion on big data, organised by the EDPS, the Council of Europe and the National Cyber Security Alliance. Register here to watch the discussion live online.
The recent rulings of the European Court of Justice concerning data retention and search engines (Google Spain) illustrate the increasing relevance of the fundamental rights to privacy and to the protection of personal data in the context of new information services and data transfers in a global world.
Against the background of rapid technological developments and the growing reality of ubiquitous surveillance of personal data by private and public entities alike, the European Union is striving for new rules to effectively protect personal data also in the 21st century.
Andrea Voβhoff, the German Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, and Peter Hustinx, the European Data Protection Supervisor, have the pleasure to invite high-level representatives of all institutional and political actors involved to debate outstanding issues and necessary steps to be taken to bring the reform of EU data protection law to a timely and successful conclusion.
EU Data Protection Reform: Close to the finishing line
The first IPEN workshop will take place on 26 September 2014 in Berlin.The workshop is designed to be a practical approach to identify privacy gaps in existing technology and develop useful solutions. Further information: draft agenda and speakers list.You can also follow it live here.
ePrivacy rules should be smarter, clearer, stronger. Read the EDPS opinion and the press release.

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a recently reported variant of breast carcinoma in women. There has been only a single report describing the cytologic features of IMPC in the literature. We report on the cytohistologic features of IMPC with diffuse involvement of two quadrants of the breast and axillary lymph node metastases in a 32-yr-old female. The cytologic appearance of IMPC was characterized by high cellularity, marked cell discohesion, and epithelial cells forming aggregates, morules, and angular and papillary clusters without fibrovascular cores and showing high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, irregular nuclear contours, and finely stippled chromatin. Occasional psammoma bodies were noted. Histologic examination showed a pure IMPC composed of clusters, morules, and aggregates of malignant epithelial cells surrounded by distinctly clear spaces separated by thin fibrovascular septa. The tumor involved both inner quadrants and axillary lymph nodes. A primary tumor elsewhere, particularly in the ovaries, was excluded. The patient has been disease-free 38 mo after the initial diagnosis. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2000;23:196–198. © 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Movies and Musicals Saturday 7 September 2013
"Gypsy is nothing if not Broadway's own brassy, unlikely answer to 'King Lear" (Theatre critic Frank Rich)
The musical Gypsy is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist, and focuses on her mother, Rose, whose name has become synonymous with "the ultimate show business mother." It features several hit songs from the pen of Jule Style and Stephen Sondheim including 'Some People' and 'Everything's coming up Roses". Aedín checks out three leading ladies on three different recordings of this great musical, Ethel Merman, Patti LuPone and Imelda Staunton
Aedín includes the iconic score from The Bad and the Beautiful starring Kirk Douglas today and a song from his daughter-in law Catherine Zeta-Jones.
This week the film can returns to the set, Bill Murray and Tom Hardy casting news plus some Irish movie Mammies...

Randall County
Texas, USA
Harold James Kolz, 76, of Canyon, formerly of Montrose, Colo., died Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008.
Memorial services will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Brooks Funeral Directors Chapel with the Rev. Ron Sullivan, pastor of First Church of the Nazarene, officiating.
Harold James Kolz, formerly of Montrose, Colo., died Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008, at his home in Canyon. He was born to Henry Herman and Velma Faye Dolan Kolz on Dec. 28, 1931, in Allison, Colo. He attended school in Allison and Montrose before serving his country in the Korean War. During his service with the Army in Korea, Harold was awarded the Bronze Star for bravery and valor. After being honorably discharged from the Army, he returned to Montrose, where he met and married Reva Rae Hockett on Aug. 12, 1955, in Montrose First Church of the Nazarene. Together, they adopted and raised two children: a daughter, Nancy Louise, and a son, Warren Ray. Harold and Reva enjoyed 36 years of marriage until she preceded him in death on Oct. 12, 1990.
Harold spent most of his life working in different sawmills in the Montrose area. He also owned his own coal business in Olathe, Colo., for eight years. After selling the coal business, he returned to work at Blue Mesa Forrest Products, until he retired in 1996. Throughout his life, Harold enjoyed hunting, camping and spending time in the mountains. He and his wife were longtime members of Montrose First Church of the Nazarene.
He spent the last five years of his life in Canyon, where he could be near the joy of his life, his granddaughter, Chelsey Quiett. While in Texas, he met Lucille Smyrl, who was very dear and special to him, and they spent many hours together during the last four years.
He also was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Ruth Kolz; and two brothers, Joe Kolz and Merle Kolz.
Survivors include a daughter, Nancy Quiett and husband R.C. of Canyon; a granddaughter, Chelsey Quiett of Canyon; a son, Warren Kolz and wife Erin of Lawrence, Kan.; a grandson, Scott Quiring of Overland Park, Kan.; a sister, Berneeda Kolz of Montrose; a brother, Harvey Kolz of Montrose; and an uncle, Edgar Kolz and wife Maxine of Montrose.
The family suggests memorials be to Canyon Senior Citizens Association, 1719 Fifth Ave., Canyon, TX 79015; or Montrose First Church of the Nazarene, 705 S. 12th St., Montrose, CO 81401.
