ATP unhappy with Monday Open final
The ATP opposes the U.S. Open's switch to a Monday final in 2013.
The U.S. Tennis Association announced last Friday that the women's final would be moved to Sunday and the men's championship match to Monday next year.
"The ATP and its players have made it clear to the U.S. Open that we do not support a Monday final," the governing body for men's tennis said in a statement. "We strongly believe the U.S. Open should keep a similar schedule to the other Grand Slams, with the men's semifinals completed by Friday and the final on Sunday."
Rain forced the USTA to postpone the men's final from its scheduled Sunday slot to Monday each of the past five years.
Some top male players complained that the U.S. Open was the sport's only major tournament that put their semifinals and final on consecutive days. The men's semifinals in New York will stay on Saturday under the new plan.
COLLEGES: Kay granted extra year
The NCAA granted Cincinnati senior quarterback Brendon Kay an extra season of eligibility, giving the Bearcats a proven passer heading into their first year under Coach Tommy Tuberville.
Kay replaced the struggling Munchie Legaux last season and helped Cincinnati win a share of the Big East title and a berth in the Belk Bowl.
The Chick-fil-A Bowl is a sellout for the 16th consecutive year.
The bowl said it sold all its tickets for the Dec. 31 game between No. 9 Louisiana State and No. 14 Clemson at the Georgia Dome.
West Virginia's record-breaking receiver Stedman Bailey is forgoing his final season to enter the NFL draft.
Bailey will end his college career owning the majority of West Virginia's receiving records after three full seasons. The junior finished the 2012 regular season with 106 receptions, 1,501 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns, and was a second-team All-American.
Duke is back in a familiar place — No. 1.
The Blue Devils advanced one spot to replace Indiana at the top of The Associated Press' men's basketball Top 25, drawing closer to UCLA's record for most No. 1 rankings.
It is the 123rd week Duke has been ranked No. 1, 11 weeks behind UCLA.
New Purdue coach Darrell Hazell will earn at least twice the salary of his predecessor.
The school announced over the weekend that its Board of Trustees had approved the hiring of Hazell at a base annual salary of $2 million including radio, television and marketing appearances, plus as much as $1 million more in bonuses. Former coach Danny Hope earned a Big Ten low of $950,000 annually.
BASEBALL: A's sign SS from Japan
The Associated Press reported the Oakland Athletics agreed to sign shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima of Japan's Seibu Lions.
Nakajima agreed to a $6.5 million, two-year contract. The deal also includes a $5.5 million option for a third season.
The Houston Astros signed veteran Carlos Pena, 34, to be their designated hitter, addressing a key need as they prepare for their first season in the American League.
The Chicago Cubs announced a one-year, $2 million contract with third baseman Ian Stewart.
Tampa Bay minor league outfielder Cory Rodgers was suspended 50 games after refusing to take an offseason drug test.
He was on the roster of Triple-A Durham, and the ban will begin at the start of next season.
BITS & PIECES: Juninho will join
New York Red Bulls
The New York Red Bulls signed Brazilian midfielder Juninho.
The Major League Soccer club said it had signed the 37-year-old who played on Brazil's World Cup team in 2006. He had been with Brazilian First Division side Vasco da Gama.
Santi Cazorla had a hat trick to help Arsenal bounce back from its recent disappointments with a 5-2 victory at last-place Reading in the Premier League.
The triumph lifts Arsenal to fifth place, two points behind Tottenham and Chelsea.
The Golf Channel will televise the NCAA Division I golf championships starting in 2014, from Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan.
Arena and USA Swimming agreed to an eight-year deal in which the swimwear company will serve as exclusive sponsor of the U.S. national team and create new uniforms.
It's the first time USA Swimming will partner with an additional swimwear brand besides Speedo, which has sponsored the national governing body in the U.S. for 30 years.

EAGLE, Colo. -- NBA superstar Kobe Bryant made his first
court appearance on a sexual-assault charge Wednesday, uttering
just two words during a seven-minute hearing that created a media
frenzy in this quiet mountain town.
Attorneys for the 24-year-old Bryant waived his right to be
formally advised of the felony assault charge, sparing the Los
Angeles Lakers guard even more time in the granite-walled courtroom
that was jammed with reporters.
Eagle County Judge Frederick Gannett set an Oct. 9 preliminary
hearing to determine whether the closely watched case will go to
trial. The hearing would be one day after a Lakers' preseason game
and about three weeks before the start of the regular season.
Bryant spoke only once during the hearing, answering "No, sir"
when the judge asked if he objected to giving up his right to have
the preliminary hearing within 30 days. He left the courthouse
immediately and was expected to return to California by private
The case has been the subject of widespread speculation about
Bryant's accuser, a 19-year-old college student who worked at the
front desk of the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera in nearby Edwards.
Bryant was in Colorado to have knee surgery in Vail.
Bryant has said he had consensual sex with the hotel clerk June
30 but is innocent of assault. If convicted, Bryant faces four
years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation, and a
fine of up to $750,000. He is free on $25,000 bond.
The judge asked the Pitkin County sheriff to investigate whether
law enforcement officials were leaking details to reporters in a
case he said was drawing "extraordinary'' media coverage.
"I am concerned with some reports that I have seen in the
press," Gannett said. "They appear to address issues that are not
generally available to the public."
Gannett has already issued a gag order in the case and is
weighing media requests to release court records.
The hearing was held amid a media circus that included hundreds
of reporters and photographers who swamped the courthouse grounds
before a hearing that was carried live on national cable networks.
Even the jury box was filled with courthouse employees eager to
catch a glimpse of the celebrity defendant.
Clad in a cream-colored suit, Bryant strode in between his two
attorneys and kept his gaze fixed on Gannett. He was in and out of
the courtroom in about eight minutes.
Outside it was a different story, with about 100 supporters
watching the arrival and departure of one of the NBA's brightest
young stars. There were cheers when he came and went, and someone
called out "Kobe is innocent!" as he arrived in a sport utility
His wife, Vanessa, who appeared by his side when he tearfully
confessed to adultery, was not present.
Bryant had tried to get out of the appearance, which meant
little legally but provided the world images of the basketball star
standing before a judge in a case that has already damaged his
Robert Pugsley, a criminal law professor at Southwestern
University in Los Angeles, predicted Bryant would testify at the
Oct. 9 hearing.
"I don't think he's going to want to miss an opportunity to
present his side of the story," Pugsley said.
Lakers spokesman John Black said it was too early to tell how
the Oct. 9 hearing date will affect Bryant's preseason.
"We'll sit down with Kobe at some point when it makes sense to
do that and discuss his plans with him at that time," Black said.
At times, preparation for Bryant's arrival looked more like
something for a head of state. A media tent was erected outside the
courthouse, authorities brought out the county's only metal
detector and sheriff's deputies were called in on overtime to keep
Along with the journalists came Bryant's fans -- people like Eric
Tison, 30, who drove three hours from Castle Rock, south of Denver.
"I hope he's innocent. I'm here to support him as a basketball
player," said Tison, wearing a Los Angeles Lakers No. 8 jersey and
hoping for an autograph. "What goes on in his personal life now is
taking away from the game."

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 710 reviews
I felt the hotel was really overpriced. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all we needed for a good night's sleep and an excellent breakfast. The view was not what I would have expected for the price. There was an excellent restaurant across the road. The front desk staff was courteous and hospitable.
Great location for our trip
The breakfast was great and the adjoining restaurant. The room needed a refrigerator and microwave
I made a last minute trip to marathon, and found this facility had open availability late night, on a holiday weekend. The clerks were friendly, swift and informative.
Nice hotel on the water. Restaurant/tiki was very nice with excellent views right on the water. Room was good sized, everything in the hotel was clean and new looking. Wifi was slow, some hallway noise, mattress was a little firm for my taste, good pillows. Good breakfast, pleasant staff.

Deciphering US labor data
There has been a great deal of discussion over the past few years around the labor market, the unemployment rate, and so on. Most of it is at best uninformative, and at worst, just plain wrong. We are often left with a lot of data and very little information. In the next few paragraphs I will explain where all this data comes from, what it means, and in the end, tell you where to find the information you need to cut through the noise.

In the field of handwritten character recognition, image zoning is a widespread technique for feature extraction since it is rightly considered to be able to cope with handwritten pattern variability. As a matter of fact, the problem of zoning design has attracted many researchers who have proposed several image-zoning topologies, according to static and dynamic strategies. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid so far to the role of feature-zone membership functions that define the way in which a feature influences different zones of the zoning method. The result is that the membership functions defined to date follow nonadaptive, global approaches that are unable to model local information on feature distributions. In this paper, a new class of zone-based membership functions with adaptive capabilities is introduced and its effectiveness is shown. The basic idea is to select, for each zone of the zoning method, the membership function best suited to exploit the characteristics of the feature distribution of that zone. In addition, a genetic algorithm is proposed to determine—in a unique process—the most favorable membership functions along with the optimal zoning topology, described by Voronoi tessellation. The experimental tests show the superiority of the new technique with respect to traditional zoning methods.

I was initially interested in this film for two reasons: 1) I am a
Buddhist, and was greatly distressed--as were many others--to hear of
the destruction of the sculptures of the Buddhas of Bamiyan in 2001 by
the Taliban, and 2) I am particularly interested in Middle Eastern
cultures and the challenges and conflicts that the people face,
especially in regard to the political exhibition being played out since
the United States' military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This documentary is evidence of the turmoil and hardship suffered by a particular 'cave dwelling' Shia family of Afghanistan refugees, seen through the eyes of an eight year old boy named Mir.
There are no happy endings in subject matter concerning war-torn countries and the innocent civilians who suffer at the hands of the 'liberators' as well as the 'invaders', and this documentary is no exception. However, the smile on the face of young Mir is a testament to the enduring shining spirit that lies within even the most downtrodden and oppressed members of humanity.
This is a must see for those willing to put aside political ideologies long enough to tap into the compassion that lay within all of us.

Steve Poltz
(98 Pounder)
US: 20 Jul 2010
UK: Import
Former Rugburn and San Diego elder statesman, Steve Poltz, is back with another collection of tuneful indie-folk ditties called Dreamhouse. It is safe to say that no new ground is broken here, no earth is shattered, and no paradigms are subverted. What we have is the strummy, smart-guy pop of the kind that keeps Brendan Benson in cigarettes and skinny t-shirts, so one can't help but wish that a Jack White-type would come out of the woodwork and provide Poltz a similar career boost. Poltz, for his part, doesn't cry about it. He keeps it real by releasing his efforts on his own 98 Pounder imprint and recording and selling each and every live show he plays, which is nothing to sneeze at, considering the man is on the road at least a third of every year. Standout tracks on Dreamhouse include "License Plate Eyes", "Wish the Wind" and an arresting and non-ironic take on Streisand's "The Way We Were".

The First Person Operated on for Gallstones.
An interesting feature at the Portland session will be the exhibition of probably the first patient operated on for gallstones, Mrs. Z. Burnsworth, McCordsville, Ind., who was operated on June 15, 1867, by Dr. John S. Bobbs. A reprint from the Indiana Medical Journal, July, which is to be distributed in the Scientific Exhibit at Portland, contains a history of this first operation and sketches of Dr. Bobbs, and is illustrated by portraits of Dr. Bobbs and the patient. There is also a photograph of the Medical College of Indiana, one of the institutions with which Dr. Bobbs was connected. Through the efforts of this college the patient is to be exhibited at Portland. The reprint bears the following dedication:"This reprint is dedicated to the American Medical Association in session at Portland, Oregon, June 11-14, 1905, in memory of Dr. John S.

Community GuidelinesLike every civil society, there are some basic rules at RantRave by which to abide:
- First things first, leave the profanity at the door. Don't waste the community's time with empty modifiers and second-rate synonyms.
- Second, pornographic material has no place here at RantRave, so please leave it out of your posts and your profile.
Failure to obey these guidelines will result in a suspension of your account. And if you see any obscenities, pornographic posts, or posts promoting intolerance toward a particular group, please flag them. Your help will only enhance the quality of the community.
While RantRave does operate as an open forum, some posts will automatically be deleted from our site:
- Rants or Raves that are obviously incorrect or misleading: this includes attempts to spread disinformation, propaganda, or to impersonate another individual or group.
- Rants or Raves that contain generalized or negative assertions about any race, religion, nation, creed, class, ethnic group, or sexual orientation.
- Rants or Raves that advocate for the elimination of a specific race, religion, nation, creed, class, ethnic group, or sexual orientation, or that link to websites that advocate the same.
- Pornographic or unnecessarily violent content.
Some Additional Guidelines:
Don't plagiarize.
Don't plagiarize. When you find an article written by someone else, copy its text, and paste it onto RantRave, you're stealing. We're interested in your original content. It's OK to quote from another source, but please cite it.
Limit yourself.
Don't flood RantRave with a lot of posts in a short period of time. When you do this, you dominate a shared resource – the "new post" list. No one likes it.
Don't drink the Haterade.
When you debate, address a Rant or Rave's content and not the writer. Challenge process and principle, not the person.
Comment instead of re-posting.
Good comment threads are the key to a thriving community. Post a comment as opposed to writing your own Rant or Rave (unless you can offer an entirely different, interesting, or unusual take on the issue).
Give us your best.
Don't write headlines in ALL CAPS. It makes you look like a crazy person. Write descriptive headlines that describe your post, rather than a vague idea, like "My Pet Peeve."
Be nice to the new guy.
Be welcoming of new writers. If you're a veteran, offer constructive feedback. Don't mock someone because they don't know RantRave's customs.
Simply put, RantRave is a place for promoting businesses and services as well as for sharing ideas and opinions. If we all play by these very sensible rules, there is no reason why RantRave can't be a helpful and beneficial tool to meet our needs, whatever they may be.
If these rules seem fair to you, then sign up and start ranting and raving!

This is What the NYPD's Failed Muslim Surveillance Program Actually Looked Like
On Tuesday, the NYPD announced it would dismantle its Demographics Unit, the controversial squad of plainclothes officers tasked with monitoring and gathering intelligence in New York's Muslim neighborhoods. The announcement was greeted with a mix of praise (for the move, considered long overdue) and skepticism (that the department would actually end the practice of mass, suspicion-less surveillance of Muslims).
The NYPD's announcement came a week after Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and his intelligence chief, John Miller, met with Muslim advocates, according to the New York Times.
The Demographics Unit, first revealed by the Associated Press in 2011, sought to root out terrorists among us. Instead it severely damaged relations between the NYPD and New York Muslims without, by the department's own admission, ever generating a single lead.
What did the failed surveillance program look like in practice? Data artist Josh Begley created a visual aid using images from NYPD documents obtained by the AP, most dated between 2004 to 2009. Begley terms the arresting web mosaic "the visual vernacular of NYPD surveillance."
Reached by email, Begley tells the Voice he started the website, profiling.is, on Sunday, two days before the NYPD made its announcement.

"The photographs come from a range of places -- restaurants, bookstores, cricket fields, mosques, internet cafes -- and most of the images are quite banal. What I find striking are the ones that contain glimpses of the photographer; a rear-view mirror capturing the bottom of an officer's face. What do these photographs say about the people taking them?"
Profiling.is bears a certain resemblance to another of Begley's projects, PrisonMap; it offers a bird's-eye view of prisons around the country. (He also runs the Twitter account @dronestream, which issues a tweet for every reported drone strike.)*
"Toni Morrison says, 'the subject of the dream is the dreamer.' In the case of the New York Police Department, I think the subject of the map is the mapper," Begley says. "But the NYPD has done more than just map Muslim communities. By using informants and spying on student groups, they've caused a generation of young people to grow up fearful of their local police force."
Linda Sarsour of the Arab American Association of New York, one of the advocates who met with Bratton and Miller last week, echoed that sentiment. Speaking to the Times on Tuesday, she called the NYPD's surveillance "psychological warfare in our community."
"Those documents, they showed where we live. That's the cafe where I eat. That's where I pray. That's where I buy my groceries. They were able to see their entire lives on those maps. And it completely messed with the psyche of the community."
Asked about his reaction to Tuesday's news, Begley pointed to a statement given by Hina Shamsi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's National Security Project.
"The Demographics Unit was only one component of a huge, discriminatory surveillance program that has sent informants and NYPD officers to spy on mosques, charities, student groups, and other mainstays of New York Muslim life," Shamsi said on Tuesday. "We look forward to an end to all aspects of the bias-based policing that has stigmatized New York's Muslim communities and done them such great harm."
*An earlier version of this story said Begley was the creator of Dronestagram, the Instagram account that posts bird's-eye views of the sites of drone strikes. That account is actually run by James Bridle. We regret the error.

An incredible 2 day tour with very knowledge guides. Highly recommend this day trip if you want to see how diverse Portugal is. Sintra is stunning and the the Palace de Pena and it's gardens is just incredible. The drive from Cascais is really beautiful with the sand dunes and visiting the Western most point of Europe is a must. I'd recommended doing Fatima, Nazare and Obidob on day one and don't dine in the restaurant the guide recommends, service is very slow, then do Sintra on day two as it's the better out of the 2 days so a highlight to finish up. Highly recommended tour and worth every cent.

Farmer's Market
The Biscuits and Jam Farmers' Market has kicked off its second season on a vacant property between Fred's and the Tallahatchie River Bridge.
Moving the Saturday morning event to the prominent downtown spot last year turned out to be very successful.
The market will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. each Saturday until sometime in August. It features locally grown produce, processed farm goods, canned fruits and vegetables, home-baked goods and local handmade crafts.
Sugaree's Bakery and High Point Coffee are the local sponsors.
Also this year, the market will be open until noon each second Saturday (June 8, July 13 and Aug. 10) for something called Folk Art on the River. Local folk artists will have their art for sale and live bluegrass music will be featured.
Consolidating and expanding the market into one spot downtown last year was a good idea. We're confident this year's expanded market will do even better.
It's all part of getting more people downtown while providing good quality local produce and other goods.

Fujifilm FinePix F440 Zoom review
May 9, 2005 • Review of Fujifilm FinePix F440 Zoom
Very impressed with this little camera, one of the smallest on the market yet more powerfull zoom. Picture quality is very good although colours are not very vivid even with the chroma mode switched on. Very easy to adjust these on the PC afterwards. Night time photography is excellent even though maximum exposure time is 2sec. Extremely easy to use. Very strong build and durable - have dropped mine onto concrete from a height of 1.5m and still works perfectly.
No real problems encountered. To my likeing it's lacking more manual settings

Product Description
In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel's brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.

In truth, the less you know about "Catfish"--the better. And perhaps that is the reason behind the mysterious trailer that may have been a tad misleading. The story is extremely contemporary. Anyone who has experienced online networking and dating know the inherent perils in believing everything you read. It's simply not prudent. "Catfish" documents a relationship between a successful New York photographer and 8 year old Abby, an artist in Michigan. Abby sends him a painting of one of his published photos and the two strike up an electronic friendship. His brother and friend start to document this blossoming camaraderie and this forms the initial basis for "Catfish." Soon, he becomes acquainted with Abby's entire family and even starts a long distance courtship with her older sister Megan. But as things become more intimate, everything might not be entirely copasetic. The film culminates with the boys traveling to Michigan to meet the family that he has been corresponding with for over eight months.
Let me just say this--nothing that they discover is particularly surprising. Modern audiences are certainly astute enough to sort out the central mysteries. What is surprising, however, is the intricacies involved in these mysteries. The film begins as a lark--funny and romantic. It evolves into a darker picture altogether until the end is infused with a sadness and melancholy which was quite unexpected. I, of course, can only speak for myself. I don't think "Catfish" is for everyone and I understand the frustration of viewers who felt the advertising was a bit of a bait and switch. But, in truth, I absolutely loved this movie. Seriously.
There is also an ongoing debate about the veracity of the film--how much was staged and how much unfolded naturally. I will admit that the casual filming style and equipment wouldn't always have lent itself to the full picture and all access pass that the film provides. But there is a real underlying integrity to what is being revealed. "Catfish" struck me as an honest examination about the truths that we need to tell ourselves to get by. I was thoroughly entertained throughout. "Catfish" made me laugh, made me uncomfortable, and made me sad. And just when I made my peace with the characters of "Catfish," the end credit epilogue slapped me back to reality one more time. I am certainly surprised by the depth of passion I have in defending this film from its nay-sayers, but it is a film that will linger in my mind for quite some time. KGHarris, 1/11.
Whilst working on a project in Colorado, the trio start to find holes in the story presented to them. Megan, who sings and plays guitar and piano, sends Nev some songs she's recorded, but he finds that they are recordings of songs from YouTube. Googling reveals no mention of Abby's artistic skills in local media. Nev becomes concerned over being scammed, and they decide to detour to Michigan on the way home to learn the truth.
Catfish is an interesting film that was released last year after proving a storm at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. It then triggered a significant wave of controversy, though we'll come to that in a moment. It's easy to see why the film has been praised: it's a zeitgeist-capturing movie about people who forge relationships online where the details presented by the parties involved may be exaggerated or indeed fabricated altogether. The final act, exposing what's really going on, subverts audience expectations about the motivations of those involved. As a piece of film-making, Catfish is entertaining, intriguing and builds tension towards the moment of revelation (though it has to be said that this is a quiet, non-flashy film; the trailer suggesting it's a 'thriller' is totally inaccurate).
The film also asks an important question of the audience, one that may or may not have been intended by the film-makers. The film is about people passing themselves and a situation off as something that is rather different to what is presented. So, it is perfectly logical for the viewer to ask, "Okay, but what about you guys? Is this really what happened? Are you manipulating us?" If the film-makers had done this deliberately and perhaps avoided answering the question in promotion, it would be a fascinating and metatextual statement on presentation, perception and motivation in a world where it's all too easy to manipulate these things online for an intended purpose or effect. Unfortunately, the film-makers have spent a fair amount of time saying that everything in the film is 100% the truth and nothing has been changed or manipulated.
This claim is immediately challenged by a scene in which Nev and his compatriots arrive at the address supplied by Megan, intending to surprise her, only to find the house abandoned and uninhabited. Nev opens the postbox (rather dubiously; interfering with the mail in the USA is a federal offence) and finds it stuffed full of the letters and packages he's sent to Megan during the course of their 'relationship'. However, this is clearly a fabricated scene: the post has 'return to sender' already stamped on it, indicating that the post was delivered, not picked up and sent back to Nev in New York. He then appears to have taken the post back to the address and set the scene up to demonstrate to the viewer the deception of Megan providing a false address.
This in turn leads to the viewer questioning the truthfulness of the entire enterprise. Many tens of thousands of words have been dedicated to questioning every aspect of the film by multiple articles, blogs and even news items on US television, so I'll avoid into delving too far into that, except to note that there seems to have been some very clever manipulation of scenes and chronology going on to present the narrative as it unfolds to us.
The film, taken at face-value, is intriguing and raises interesting questions about Internet-based relationships. However, the fact that aspects of it are clearly manipulated and possibly exploitative (one of the participants has since passed away, something that has indeed been verified, but which makes the situation even murkier) leaves a bad taste in the mouth. But at the same time, the fact that after watching the film the viewer can then go online and read up on all the controversy and draw their own conclusions itself adds another level to the experience: layers of deceit, spin, presentation and impersonation. Talking about the film and seeing how different people interpret it is arguably more interesting than the movie itself.
Catfish (score not really applicable) is a bizarre and thought-provoking film about modern media, manipulation and social networking. Whether you believe all of it, none of it or something between, it definitely raises some very interesting questions. The film is available now on DVD (UK, USA) and Blu-Ray (UK, USA).
At the start, we meet a young successful New York City photographer Nev Schulman who works with his brother Ariel and their buddy Henry. When Nev gets a painting of one of his photos sent to him by an eight year old in Michigan named Abby; Nev is flattered and starts an online friendship with Abby under her mother Angela's supervision. Ariel and Henry document the budding friendship between Abby and Nev by filming it; and it isn't long before Nev befriends Abby's entire family and starts "internet dating" and flirting using text messaging, phone conversations and online chat sessions with Abby's older half-sister Megan. Nev befriends other people on the Internet who also know Abby's family.
But things become much more complicated. While on a trip to Colorado, Nev gets some music from Megan--but they turn out to be songs posted on a website by another artist! They also can't find any evidence on the Internet that Abby is an artist. Nev feels confused, scammed or taken advantage of but to some degree the young man really doesn't know what to think. Nev, Ariel and Henry decide to get to the bottom of things: They fly to Chicago, rent a car and drive to Megan's farm and the town where Abby and her family live to find out once and for all what's going on.
What Nev, Ariel and Henry discover is shown in the rest of the film. I agree with anyone that the trailer for Catfish is misleading; it's not a thriller despite their best efforts to use music that sounds "eerie" and their encouraging each other to check out Abby's family when each of them gets almost too nervous and scared to discover what might really be happening. Nevertheless, what they discover is quite dramatic.
There has been considerable controversy over just how much of the story is true. One thing is clear: the scene in which they discover Nev's mail to Megan at a farm where Megan told them she lives was almost certainly fabricated. The camera shows that postcards from Nev to Megan were already stamped "return to sender" so they couldn't have been sitting in that mailbox; that mail must have been returned to the sender (Nev in New York)--and then brought back to the Michigan address by Nev, Ariel and Henry so the scene would look realistic. Whoops! Looks like there's at least one hole in the story; that leaves me wondering how much of the rest is true.
The DVD comes with an interview with filmmakers Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman as well as Nev Schulman.
Catfish is interesting not necessarily for honesty but more so for highlighting how people can use social media websites to portray themselves or others as they wish--and what can happen in "real life" as a result. I recommend this film for fans of documentaries and people who are interested in the effect of social media on human relationships.

Green light for second Toowoomba Range crossing
The state and federal governments have announced a new funding arrangement for the second Toowoomba Range crossing.

- Permalink
Construction of the almost 42km bypass will commence in mid 2015, according to Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney.
"We've agreed for a funding program of $1.7 billion."
The original plan was for the road to be a public/private partnership.
"We spent a long time looking at a whole range of options. It's a good option because the funding arrangement guarantees $1.7 billion. It allows the private sector to bring in their expertise," Mr Seeney said.
"The Queensland Government will then run an expression of interest process with the private sector... to get the job done in the quickest possible time."
Mayor of the Toowoomba Regional Council Paul Antonio says: "I think those of us in Toowoomba, and the area affected, aren't too worried how it's delivered, we just want the project to happen."
"We've been fighting for this for many years."
Mr Antonio says it could cost council $50 million to connect to the bypass.
"We need to make sure it connects well with us... but we have been delighted for the offer to have a seat at the table when everything is considered."
The RACQ has long advocated for the road to be built. Paul Turner from the motoring group says "we're very happy. It's great we're all lining up for once!"
Last year, Member for Groom Ian Macfarlane told ABC radio "if we want a second range crossing, it has to be a toll road."
Paul Turner from the RACQ says "it's about getting the right mix so heavy vehicle operator gets an advantage by using it, and the maintenance costs are met."
"This is a fantastic announcement today," Mr Turner says. "But there's some devil in the detail that has to be worked through. The worse-case scenario would be to build a beautiful new bypass and not have heavy vehicles using it because the toll was too high."
The Toowoomba Mayor says "there's a general acceptance it would take about three years" to deliver the project.

'They forced me to be a b****!' Kristin Cavallari blames 'manipulative' Laguna Beach producers for her on-screen persona
Put up to mischief: Kristin Cavalari, pictured yesterday in Illinois, has blamed producers of Laguna Beach for her notoriously bad behaviour
She shot to fame as the villain of reality television show Laguna Beach and its spin-off The Hills.
But reformed small screen personality Kristin Cavallari has hit out at producers, blaming them for 'forcing' her to be nasty on the shows.
Now she is a dating and has a child by Chicago Bears star Jay Cutler, it appears she would like to rebrand her tarnished image.
And in an interview with Splash magazine, she has put all the blame for her old ways on the makers of the hit MTV programmes.
Cameras caught her Laguna Beach antics in all of their glory, showing her fighting constantly with on-off boyfriend Stephen Colletti, trading barbs with Lauren Conrad and dancing on a bar during a spring break trip to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.
Explaining her actions, the 26-year-old said: 'The producers were really c***py to me. I felt like everybody was against me and manipulating me, and that forced me to be a b****.
She then tried to branch out by moving to the bright lights of Los Angeles, only to find her tarnished image made it tough to find work in the entertainment industry she was desperate to join.
The then wannabe actress said she moved so 'people could forget about the Kristin from Laguna Beach.'
But despite taking a number of bit part roles such as guest-starring on CSI: NY and Veronica Mars, she didn't have too much success.
She said: 'I was known as the bad girl, And once you have that image, it's so hard to change it.'
And what better way to get rid of it than returning to her former persona in 2009, and clashing again with her old foe Conrad on The Hills
Notorious: Kirstin's behaviour helped turn her and fellow The Hills castmates Heidi Montag and Audrina Patridge into celebrities
She said: 'l decided to have fun with it this time. I embraced it, and played a caricature of myself.'
This time the action was amped up even further by what she describes as a carefully conceptualised show where the producers invented entire plot lines.
She said, 'They did everything short of handing us a script,' and admits she never dated Justin "Bobby" Brescia, her infamous bad-boy love interest.
She said: 'I had two lives. My Hills life and my real life. People are always surprised by how nice I am in real life.'
Speaking out: The reality television personality opened up to magazine Splash about her travails
She has left her old ways behind her and is now most concerned with being a mother to her six-month-old son and spends the football season in the new family house in Winnetka.
Kristin said: 'Our world revolves around Camden. I'm a suburbanite now. I didn't know anything about football when I met Jay. But now I won't miss a home game.
In the off-season the trio relocate to Nashville, where Jay went to college, and where they have a second home.
When the quarterback, who she has dated on and off since 2010, retires, they plan to settle there permanently and she said she wants to have at least three more children.
She said: 'I've always wanted to be a mom. I've learned that it means I have to be totally selfless. But it's the most rewarding thing in the world.'
Cutting the mustard: Kristin claims she is more satisfied now she has started a family with quarterback Jay Cutler

An Armed Gang of Meat Thieves Robbed Two Salesmen of Hundreds of Steaks
All delicious, but worth armed robbery?
The haircuts at Triple D Cuts & Styles on Sunnyvale Road must be top notch. They were certainly hard to pass up for two Grillmasters salesman who decided on Friday afternoon to take a break from their meat hawking and stop in for a trim. They decided the truck full of frozen steaks could wait.
They were right on that front. They told police that both truck and steaks were still there when they were thrown out of Triple D a while later after one of them tried to pay with a counterfeit $100 bill.
Just as they were getting ready to leave, they told officers that 10 men appeared, all of them carrying guns. They made the guy who tried to pass off the fake bill lay on the asphalt next to the truck and directed his colleague to sit in the driver's seat and stay there. Then, while the salesmen were kept at gunpoint, the men jumped into the bed of the truck and began unloading steaks.
They made off with 72 boxes of steak. That's boxes, mind you, each of which contains anywhere from four to 10 individual cuts of meat according to the Grillmasters website. So we're talking somewhere between 278 to 720 stolen steaks.

Loot in hand, the gang of meat thieves sent the two salesmen on their way, then fired two rounds into the back of the truck as they left. Police found bullet holes in the tailgate and one of the rear panels.
It was a somber car ride. They had just been robbed of $1,200 worth of steaks while sneaking in hair cuts when they were supposed to be working. The guy in the passenger seat was scared and asked to be dropped off at his mom's house. The driver, scared not so much of the robbers as what he might suffer at the hands of his boss, drove aimlessly around Dallas for two hours, then called police.

Bahr el Ghazal

The Bahr el Ghazal is a region of northwestern South Sudan. Its name comes from the river Bahr el Ghazal.
The region consists of the states of Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Lakes, and Warrap. It borders the Central African Republic to the west. It is an area of swamps and ironstone plateaus inhabited mainly by the Dinka people, who make their living through subsistence farming and cattle herding plus Luwo and Fartit tribes.
It was historically subject to raids by the Fur invaders from the neighboring region of Darfur. The khedive of Egypt made Bahr al Ghazal his province in 1864. Powerful native merchants, who set themselves up as princes complete with armies, emerged in the area. The most powerful of them, al-Zubayr, fought and defeated a joint Turkish/Egyptian force sent to Bahr el Ghazal in 1873. The khedive conceded defeat and made Bahr el Ghazal a nominal province of Egypt, with al-Zubayr as its governor. It came under Mahdist control in 1884, when Karam Allāh Muḥammad Kurkusāwī was appointed governor (emir)1738
The region was visited by the anthropologist Edward Evans-Pritchard in 1929. The region was later incorporated into Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and became the ninth province after being split from Equatoria in 1948, and later a province, and then state, under the Republic of Sudan. In 1996, the region was divided into the four current districts as part of an administrative reorganisation of the country. During the condominium period of joint British-Egyptian rule, the area was administered by British district officers; because of annual flooding and difficult travelling conditions, the area became part of what was known colloquially in the British Sudan Service as "The Bog", with British District Officers known as "Bog Barons" (Wyndham, 1937).
The region has been affected by civil war for many years. It was a scene of fighting in the First Sudanese Civil War. In 1982, the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) was formed there by John Garang to fight the Northerners-dominated government in Khartoum. This was the beginning of what quickly became known as the Second Sudanese Civil War. The subsequent conflict lasted until 2003 and killed more than two million people. A substantial fraction of the population of the region is internally displaced or refugees in neighboring countries.
Under legislation approved by the government of South Sudan in 2011, Bahr el Ghazal could host a planned city at Ramciel intended to serve as the new national capital. If a new capital at Ramciel is built, it would mark a shift away from the power center in Equatoria, though Ramciel is located very close to the border between Lakes state and Central Equatoria.

(Dec. 10, 2013) -- This January, The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) College of Business will send a group of students and faculty to India as part of an Immersion Study Program for the first time. It is also the first time UTSA will offer a study abroad opportunity during the winter break. Led by Lalatendu Misra, professor and chair of the UTSA Department of Finance, "Business Success in India" is a course designed to help students learn how business is conducted in India.
"No matter what aspect of business an individual pursues, having a global perspective is critical to success," said UTSA professor Misra. "This course will introduce our students to different ways of doing business which will open their minds and hopefully expand their outlook and career opportunities."
Offered for course credit through the UTSA College of Business Office of International Business Programs, 14 business students will travel to India from January 1-14 to visit companies, meet industry experts, experience the culture and customs and ultimately develop a business idea based on what they have learned.
To prepare for the trip, the students have met several times during the fall semester to research and present reports about different elements of Indian culture, including politics, economics, weather, ecology, technology and the legal system.
This will be senior accounting student Rene Magana's first experience travelling abroad.
"Almost everything about Indian culture is in stark contrast from our own. I'm excited about seeing the subtleties in professional behavior." he said. "I am hoping this experience will help give me a clearer picture of what steps I need to take personally and professionally to become the person I'm destined to be."
Accompanied by UTSA professors Misra, Chino Rao and Dennis López, the students will first visit the southern city of Hyderabad, where they will hold classes at the University of Hyderabad and the Indian Business School and meet with IT, pharmaceutical and health care industry leaders. Next, they will travel to New Delhi, the capital of India and the center for politics and government, for company visits. Then they will travel to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. Finally, they will travel to Jaipur in northern India, where they will be introduced to many aspects of the local culture.
India is home to around 158 large global companies with annual revenues of more than $1 billion, making the country one of the most desirable locations for setting up multinational corporations. Some of the world's largest IT companies are headquartered in India, including Tata Consultancy Services and InfoSys.
The Office of International Business Programs in the UTSA College of Business supports international business degree programs, study abroad and exchange opportunities as well as specialized international events at UTSA.
