ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington looked directly into the TV camera and delivered a sharp
message to Warren Sapp.
"Sapp," Arrington said, "I'm going to get you."
Much like the contrived trash talk engendered by broadcast
reporters before events like the Super Bowl, the Redskins linebacker
challenged the Pro Bowl defensive tackle on two fronts Wednesday as
the Redskins prepared for Sunday's game against Sapp's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
First, Arrington said he'll take issue if Sapp comes on
Washington's side of the field during pregame stretching, as Sapp
has been known to do. Such pregame altercations have led the NFL to
order officials to take the field 45 minutes before kickoff.
"I'm expecting for Warren Sapp to cause me to grab him --
because he's going to try to run through our lineup in pregame,"
Arrington said. "You never let a man run through your stretching
line. If a team crosses your 50-yard line while you're stretching,
there's a problem.
"You don't let somebody come to where your whole team is
because that's a blatant show of disrespect, that's a blatant show
of 'Why should I go around y'all?' "
Arrington was then asked what will happen if the Bucs use Sapp
on offense. Sapp caught a touchdown pass against Atlanta two weeks
"Sapp, I'm going to get you," Arrington said, looking straight
into one of the cameras from a local TV station.
"If they put you out there, I'm going to get him. That's
disrespectful in my opinion, too, to put defensive guys on offense
that are lineman. I'm gunning. You come out there, you've got some
killers on the other side of the ball -- just like you're a killer
when you're on defense."
Sapp laughed after reading Arrington's comments.
"You tell Mr. Can't Get Right, I'll be there at 10:30 a.m.
sharp, Eastern Standard Time. Tell him don't be looking for me
because I'm easily found," Sapp said, making reference to the
difficulty the Redskins had mastering the defense run by former
coordinator Marvin Lewis last season.
"Spare me. Is LaVar jealous that he can't play offense?" Sapp
added. "Is he jealous that he can't get right? Tell 'Can't Get
Right' that his plate is full. It's a little bit too much to try to
take on me."

Thinking Critically, Thinking Creatively
During the 2015-2016 academic year, the Paul C. Reinert, S.J. Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning will offer a series of programs highlighting the ways in which we think about and incorporate thinking critically and thinking creatively into our teaching. These core academic mindsets are valued in every discipline; yet, often, we identify them, discuss them, and teach them in very different ways. In order to uncover the similarities and differences among disciplinary approaches to critical and creative thinking, we will focus on a broad range of topics, including: Ignatian imagination, technologies to enhance critical and creative thinking, critical reading skills, and more.

BOSTON -- Boston captain Joe Thornton is listed as day-to-day with an apparent wrist injury and isn't expected to play in the
Bruins' final home game.
Coach Mike Sullivan said Friday that Thornton would miss
Saturday's game against New Jersey. He didn't know if the forward
would be back for Sunday's regular-season finale in New Jersey.
Thornton did not practice with the team Friday, and Sullivan
didn't explain the injury in any greater detail than he did after
Thornton was hurt in Thursday night's 3-3 tie with the Washington
Capitals. The team would only describe it as an "upper body
Thornton was slashed on the right wrist by Todd Rohloff as he
crashed the net 3:25 into the third period and fell backward,
hitting the ice hard.
Thornton left the ice with a trainer but
returned for another shift and made a cross-ice pass to Glen Murray
to set up a goal that made it 2-2 at the 5:23 mark. A few minutes
later, Thornton left the bench and didn't return.
The Bruins ended Thursday night in first place in the Northeast
Division and second place in the Eastern Conference with 102
Tampa Bay has clinched first-place in the conference.
Boston can finish anywhere from second to sixth place among the
eight conference teams that will make the playoffs.

This paper proposes a multirate processing scheme for the conversion of image resolution by using filter banks. The conversion scheme by using the filter banks is on the basis of their frequency characteristics. A resolution-converted signal is synthesized from decomposed ones by the filter banks in the proposed scheme. Simulation results are also given, in which we compare the performance of the proposed synthesis scheme with the direct resolution conversion method.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Jaguar XK Series
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.4
In a category defined by supreme levels of prestige, opulence or performance, the 2012 Jaguar XK delivers on all counts. Boasting elegant exterior styling and an interior to match, the Jag XK adds an inimitable Britannic dimension to the grand touring segment. The latest addition to the XK lineup represents the pinnacle of Jaguar performance engineering in the limited-edition XKR-S. Available in coupe or convertible form, the XK's wealth of standard equipment coupled with a reasonable starting price fare well against such well-entrenched competitors as the Mercedes Benz SL-Class, BMW 6 Series and Porsche 911. With three distinct versions to choose from, the 2012 Jaguar XK offers the comfort and grace of a grand tourer, the stirring dynamism of a high-performance sports car, and virtually everything in-between.
If a distinctive sports car with a near-perfect balance of performance and comfort sounds enticing, place the 2012 Jaguar XK at the top of your list. The most challenging component of your purchase is choosing between the open-air freedom of the convertible or the streamlined good looks and added rigidity of the coupe.
If razor-sharp handling and visceral feedback are prerequisites for your next sports car, you will find the Jaguar XK comes up short. We recommend the Porsche 911 or the considerably less expensive Chevrolet Corvette to sufficiently arouse your senses. Moreover, the XK's appealing upfront cost is offset by notoriously low residual values.
For 2012, the Jaguar XK series adds a new 550-horsepower XKR-S variant to the top of the roster. Changes to the base XK and sporty XKR include a restyled front end with revised headlights and LED running lights. Similarly, the interior receives a slight refresh, with upgraded materials and a rear backup camera as standard on every trim level.
Apart from the range-topping XKR-S, the Jaguar XK is more of a grand tourer than a pure sports car. Unlike a dedicated sports car, the XK's harmonious blend of performance...
... and luxury provides a substantial measure of adaptability. The silky and powerful V8 emits a throaty, enthusiastic rumble. It works well with the 6-speed automatic transmission, which delivers quick, smooth shifts. The stability and traction control systems tolerate a suitable amount of latitude before taking the reins, while the nicely weighted steering and adaptive suspension system deliver remarkable ride comfort as well as handling prowess. On the down side, some driver sightlines are blocked, especially in the convertible with the top up, and the navigation display can wash out in bright sunlight. All things considered, however, the Jaguar XK is a beautiful cruiser that you'll undoubtedly love to drive.
Resorting to the aftermarket for individual expression is a superfluous matter with the Jaguar XK. With 18 exterior paint finishes, seven interior trims, nearly a half dozen wheel choices and four interior color schemes, you can custom tailor your XK to suit your individual taste.
Not all premium audio systems are created equal. Dazzlingly high speaker counts and wattage outputs topping the quadruple-digit mark look impressive on paper, but the final word in sound quality is ultimately determined by the listener. Much in the way moms prefer Jiff peanut butter, choosey audiophiles choose Bowers & Wilkins.
While it may not share the same level of architectural sophistication as the XJ flagship, the Jaguar XK's interior feels particularly upscale with a pleasing mix of contrast-stitched leather overlays and polished hardwoods. The analog controls are straightforward and intuitive, though most interior functions are operated via the frustratingly lethargic touchscreen interface. Comfort, on the other hand, is top-notch. The 16-way adjustable front seats provide endless arrangements and strike a pleasing balance between plush and firm support. Cramming two adults into the rear seats might pass for cruelty, but luggage or small children will fit fine. The coupe's hatchback design affords a slightly larger cargo area than the convertible, where top-down driving further trims overall trunk space.
The XK's short rear deck and extended nose combine to produce a contemporary interpretation of Jaguar's legendary E-Type. The XKR distinguishes itself from the regular XK with exclusive wheels and quad exhaust outlets, with the XKR-S featuring gunmetal-painted wheels, a ventilated hood, unique bodywork, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Convertible variants include a power soft top that can be raised or lowered in less than 18 seconds and is operational at speeds up to 15 mph.
Functional and fashionable, the 2012 Jaguar XK comes predictably well equipped. Customers can choose from aluminum or a variety of wood trims to go with the rich leather upholstery. Aiding passenger comfort is a dual-zone climate-control system with humidity control and 16-way power front seats that are both heated and cooled. Tech features consist of bi-xenon headlights, a rather outdated DVD-based navigation system with a 7-inch touch screen and a 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system. The Convertible has self-deploying roll hoops for added protection in the event of a rollover.
With so much standard equipment, the XK offers very few options. An Advanced Technology Package comes with Active Front Lighting that points into turns and Adaptive Cruise Control that maintains a safe following distance from traffic ahead. Stand-alone options include HD Radio, a heated windshield for icy climates, 19- and 20-inch wheels and aluminum interior trim.
All 2012 Jaguar XK models are powered by a 5.0-liter all-aluminum V8. This smooth and sophisticated engine features direct fuel injection and variable camshaft timing to produce 385 horsepower in base form, while the supercharged XKR and XKR-S up the ante to 500 and 550 horsepower, respectively. The responsive 6-speed ZF automatic transmission has a sport mode that delivers quick upshifts and downshifts and can be manually shifted via a pair of steering-wheel-mounted paddles. The gearbox also incorporates a throttle-blipping feature to smooth transitions on downshifts and enhance vehicle stability.

"We own and enjoy a 08 xk luxury convertible with 20 inch wheels, fantastic looking!!! People always stop and look at it and give us complements. Many think it is an Aston Martin. This 08 xk has been the most reliable car we have ever owned. It is super fun to drive and super reliable too. You can drive it fast, slow and it is always fun and holds the road very well. It also will never rust as it has an all aluminum body!!! Formerly we owned a 2002 BMW M5 which was also fun to drive but a disaster maintaining. Not a year passed where the M5 didn't need some sort of repair. The 2008 xk is certainly a looker and low maintenance car. When driven at 78 miles an hour we get 29 miles a gallon, city driving 20 miles per gallon. Pretty good for such luxury ride."

"I'm the second owner of a 2007 executive lease car. I've owned the vehicle for 6 years and had one odd problem associated with the car starting and then dying immediately when being restarted after driving up a steep hill. You'd have to wait about 20 minutes and then the car would start and run normally. The car was under warranty, but needless to say, it took some time to sort out and I had to engage Jaguar North America to get it resolved, the dealership having attempted everything they could. It was fixed by a thorough cleaning of the injection system. The little plastic tabs that hold the door panels on are prone to break after time, creating a buzzing/rattling in the doors that can be fixed by simply pulling the bottom of the door panels out a bit so the plastic falls out. This happened with one tab on each door. The car has its own particular functional idiosyncrasies, such as having to open the door 'just right' using the keyless system -- pull the door handle slightly, pause 50 milliseconds and continue pulling; another is you need wait a couple seconds after exiting the car before locking with the keyless system or it will beep at you. Kind of typical British car stuff. A third example, well noted in the literature, is the very slow to react infotainment system after pushing a button. Nothing working incorrectly, just their operator/machine interface considerations. Other than these few things over the years, the car has truly been an exceptional drive -- smooth, reasonably powerful (300 bhp), quiet, nice handling and quite beautiful lines. Clearly I like it very much as I haven't replaced it! 2015 having been the last of the model year, I doubt I ever will."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 2,100overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fast, handling, braking, comfort and design."
Cons: "Bad press, no flaws"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Exceeds my expectations, a real head turner. When I open the car up and roar the 510 HP down the strip in sport mode the acceleration is about 0-60 in roughly 4.5 sec. The noise footprint from the rear is second to none. Braking and handling is awesome, a real treat and fun driving experience. The interior with its 16 way seats can fit most drivers to pure comfort. The less than good press about the interior must be written by those who have never taken this baby on a long ride through the countryside or the straight away."

nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
In the apartment, it is calm at night in spite of it's central location and insufficient windows' sound proofing.
Also insufficient is room lighting, shutters of the kitchen cabinet are not arranged well, there is mold in the shower cabin.
But the Fountain Trevi district is an excellent place in Rome, and if you are not very captious you will enjoy this place to stay.
Very cosy place in a beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.
Trusted patner There Are nice team Where they always try to help costumers for all what he need but for me i need help since i make booking from windu website page and i used my credit card to make the booking wimdu proof my booking by saying that

In any contact with us, please refer to your booking code please need help
A nice little house in a charming village. A few negative things to mention: Not enough kops and plates for 4 persons, nearly no toilet-paper on arrival and we never suceeded in making the TV work. Since none of us are spanish speaking it would have been nice with some written information in the house.
...but nvertheless: We enjoyed our stay on the wonderful Island, away from the main tourist spots.
The location is beautiful!, all what is stated in advertising it's true. I recommend.
Very Nice Apartment With an exelent wiev, Penthouse. No English speaking tv channels.

The new home of
Picturesque Grange over Sands looks out across Morecambe Bay and grew from a small hamlet into a promising small town with an influx of Edwardian era money. These historical roots still remain to this day, with a beautiful sea-front promenade, numerous ornamental gardens and traditional shopping arcades.
A quintessentially British seaside resort, Grange over Sands has retained the old-fashioned feel of a time gone by, with classic tea shops, cafes, family-run shops and restaurants in the town centre. In fact the whole town prides itself on the large number of family-run businesses in the area, giving a real sense of community spirit and offering visitors a very high standard of friendly, personal service wherever you go.
On the outskirts of the town are some of the finest parks and nature reserve areas in Cumbria, which attract a great deal of interest from nature enthusiasts, especially bird-watchers.
A cottage in Grange over Sands is perfect for days out along the coast and around the Cumbrian peninsula and you can be in the heart of the Lake District in no time to explore the beautiful Lakes and resorts. You''ll also find peaceful flower meadows, woodland areas that have been untouched for hundreds of years and dozens of great walking paths and trails.
Close by the village of Cartmel is a picture-postcard Lakeland village with traditional white-washed stone and wood buildings and a number of listed buildings which date back to medieval times. The charming winding narrow streets surround a small village square and the village''s Sticky Toffee Pudding is its very own speciality and can be found in the village shops. For a fine dining experience, the village is home to the Michelin-starred restaurant, L''Enclume, which is acclaimed as one of the best in the country and would require forward booking.
Each year Cartmel Races is held at the unique, charming and very compact race course that's so close to the village that it's almost part of the village itself.
Grange over Sands holiday cottages put you in the perfect place to explore the very best of Cumbria.

Product Description
Product Description
This soundtrack to the film inspired by Janis Joplin was produced by Paul Rothschild-producer of Joplin's Pearl . This 1979 LP has Bette's smash The Rose ; hit take on When a Man Loves a Woman , plus Stay with Me; Midnight in Memphis , and more!
Entre le cinéma et la chanson (son premier album a été produit par le compositeur Barry Manilow), le coeur de Bette Midler a longtemps chaviré. En réalité jusqu'en 1979, lorsque le réalisateur Mark Rydell lui a confié le rôle principal de The Rose, où elle incarnait une pop star écorchée vive qui, après avoir consumé la vie par les deux bouts, mourait d'une overdose sur scène, devant ses fans. Si le personnage ressemblait étrangement à Janis Joplin - à la fois diva du blues blanc et égérie de la contre-culture californienne -, Midler, tout en s'en inspirant, eut cette intelligence, et ce talent, de ne pas la caricaturer et d'obéir à sa propre sensibilité. La B.O. du film, de fait, est une vraie réussite. Mieux, avec la chanson-titre, "When A Man Loves A Woman" ou "Let Me Call You Sweetheart", Bette Midler réussit à convaincre, et à émouvoir, tant son interprétation sonne d'une grande sincérité. --Philippe Margotin

With "Midnight in Memphis" Midler proves she could be a pretty great blues signer and "Stay With Me" takes on almost epic proportions as the Rose self-destructs on stage before her hometown audience. The flaw of this album, if you want to call it that, is that these songs are performed in character. You have to pity the person who pickes up this soundtrack without having seen the film and does not understand why Midler's voice goes through some serious deterioration in the final set of tracks. Compare "Stay With Me" with her cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman" and you have a sense of what might have been (or the version on "Divine Madness"). Still, there is something to be said for staying faithful to the film in this regard, which is why it is a pity the concert monologue has been sanitized.Read more ›
The album's succeeds in no small part due to the able musicians backing Midler. They are more than some ad-hoc Big Brother and the Holding Company; they have the bite and energy of a real band. I'd have liked to see them showcased even more on the record. (They do get a brief instrumental number to themselves.)
And then there's the Big Hit Ballad, which seems to come from another musical universe entirely. It doesn't fit the album at all; it's as if tracks 1-11 are song by The Rose (the character from the movie) and track 12 is sung by Bette Midler (the AC superstar). But at least the version included here is the piano-only track, which I much prefer to the orchestra-backed single version.
Not Janis, but not a knock-off either, this is music to be enjoyed in its own right. You can argue that this isn't "real" rock/blues - it's an actor giving a performance. Maybe so, but at least it's a *good* performance, of good songs.
My favorites are the bawdy "Love Me With a Feeling", rocking "Who Side Are You On", "Midnight in Memphis" and of course the sad yet hopeful title song "The Rose"; but it's the raw, passionate performance on "Stay With Me" that makes this a must-have.
An antidote to all the cold, calculated, studio-manufactured garbage out there today, "The Rose" soundtrack is a perfect example of musicians throwing their heart and soul into their MUSIC, not just a product.
The CD claims to have been remastered from the original master tapes, but needs an ungrade from some enterprising company like Vivid Sounds to make it sound much better.
FIVE STARS for the songs themselves.

The sets and costumes by Carlo Tommasi are gorgeous.Read more ›
Don't worry about it. This is a great production. The music is great, the staging is great and the singers are great.
It's impossible to pick the best singer from this ensemble. Isabel Bayrakdarian has a great voice, excellent technique and her performances are always tasteful. She gets to sing "Né men combe l'endre", one of the loveliest arias in the entire opera. Anyone who's not moved by her rendition of this piece is probably already dead. Paula Rasmussen's voice has the lightest tonal shadings of the three mezzo-sopranos in the cast. Her voice is smooth, well controlled and mostly free of vibrato. Anne Hallenberg has a deeper pitch and sings with bell-like tones that resonate through the air. There's a considerable amount of vibrato in her voice but she controls it well. Patricia Bardon has a voice that's powerful and exceptionally deep. And she uses those shadings to convey emotion well. She is one of the standouts of the cast.
The two men in the cast are both bass baritones. Marcello Lippi's voice is deep and commanding but multi-faceted as well. He uses it to convey the thoughtful nature of a philosopher the warmth of a parent and the authority of a commander with equal aplomb. Matteo Peirone has a higher voice and silkier tones but plenty of range and volume. He provides most of the comic relief and he does it well.Read more ›
In this performance, the role of Serse is sung superbly by soprano Paula Rasmussen, and her "ombra mai fu" is the most affectively perfect I've ever heard. Her acting in male drag is nearly as impressive; she's as narcissistic and willful a tyrant as the role requires. Arsamene, the tyrant's brother and rival in love, is a role of comical frustration and impotence, sung and acted ripely by Ann Hallenberg. The woman both brothers love is Romilda, sung richly by Isabel Bayrakdarian, but Imilda has a 'kid' sister, Atalanta, who is set on stealing Arsamene from her sister. Sandrine Piau, as Atalanta, fails to steal a lover but steals the show, acting with coy capricious vivacity and singing at a level few sopranos have ever reached. The smaller role of Amastre, sung by Patricia Bardon, is curious; Amastre is a woman, the rejected fiancée of Serse, disguised until the final scene as a man. All of these roles were presumably sung, in the opera's opening in London in 1738, by imported 'castrati' from Italy.Read more ›

Six Cool Things With Cross-Cultural Appeal That You Can Find at Fiesta Mart
Bright lights, big city.
Camilo Smith
Fiesta Mart is an amalgam of Houston culture, offering foods for most of the ethnic people you find in the city. It's also the grocery store for those living in and around rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods, and a place designed to meet the needs of modern Houstonians, or so we'd like to think.
Call it one-stop shopping that's not putting more money into the Walton's bank accounts.
For those of you who don't know and maybe don't want to know what the inside of a Fiesta looks like, you don't know what you're missing. It's a cross-cultural experience that in some ways is unmatched on the local grocery store scene. Not that there's really a scene, but you know, how edgy is hitting up the HEB and Whole Foods, really?
To show the awesome multi-culti experience you get inside a Fiesta Mart, here's a look at six awesome things we found in our neighborhood store.
6) ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons' Guacamole Ads

A son of Houston and a great rock musician. Step into a Fiesta and you'll see his face encouraging people to load up on avocados--we saw banners swinging from above the produce section--and other ingredients so they can make his signature guacamole.
5) New Age Beverages
Expensive bottled water is everywhere, but the fact that non-cola options are called "New Age" here just says it all. Still, with choices for hydration so plentiful, who doesn't like to know exactly where to find fancy water?
4) Dickies
Not sure if all the stores carry this utilitarian brand, but the one Downtown does. If you want to prove you're no label whore, but can still look good, throw on a pair of Dickies. They're so versatile, they be part of the gangster look if you rock them too loose and crease them up, though.
3) Piñatas
These aren't too hard to find around Houston, but in a crunch you always know where they are. For some reason, right there on top of the veggies. Everyone loves piñatas. So fun.
2) Potions, perfumes and herbs
Honestly, if you had access to a botanica you could get these. Forget Viagra, get the stay-strong-lover potion. Don't be afraid of someone's voodoo, just get some spell-reversal cologne and it'll all go away. Take a bath in a special potion and make someone love you. From Haitian voodoo practitioners to Santaria priests, to those mild believers in brujeria, Fiesta has them covered.
1 )Pope Francis candles
Camilo Smith
Where else can you find something like this? The Vatican? Since the Pope's popularity crosses so many ethnic boundaries we're thinking this is a good get. And not only if you're a fan of Catholicism, but also if you need some romantic mood lighting.

Mira Nair's "The Perez Family" opens with a Fellini-esque scene of elegantly dressed people promenading by a beach. Then the music turns sad as they begin to wade into the waves, and there's a cut to a Cuban prison. For Havana's bourgeoise, the good times are over.
Cut to the early 1980s, and a boatload of prisoners released by Fidel Castro is sailing for the United States. We meet Juan Raul Perez (Alfred Molina), who still carries a flame of love in his heart for the wife he has not seen in 20 years. Also on board is Dottie Perez (Marisa Tomei), a sometime hooker, determined to get a fresh start in the new land.
These two Perezes are not related. Indeed, as Juan tells a U.S. immigration official (also named Perez), "If you want something done in this life, ask a Perez - there are so many of us!" They join thousands of other refugees in a temporary camp set up in Miami's football stadium, and when Dottie discovers that families can find American sponsors more readily than single people, she proposes to Juan that they become "married" to squeeze through an immigration loophole. To increase their chances, they even recruit a youngster to be their son, and a dotty old man to be the grandfather.
Juan goes along with the scheme, but only because he is so eager to be reunited with his wife, Carmela Perez (Anjelica Huston), who got out of Cuba 20 years ago. They have been waiting for each other ever since, but now they may stumble just as they reach the finish line. Still on the boat, Juan frets about his appearance after years in prison: "My teeth are too poor to kiss my wife." Dottie boldly kisses him. "Don't worry," she says; "you can kiss your wife." "The Perez Family" makes a romantic comedy out of these offbeat ingredients, and although we have not often seen such stories told about Cuban-Americans with political backgrounds, we have seen some of the same elements before, in screwball comedies. What happens is that just at the moment they are about to be reunited, both Juan and Carmela fall in love with others - but refuse to admit it.
The other key player in the cast is Chazz Palminteri, as Pirelli, a federal agent who is working with the Miami police and finds himself making frequent visits to Carmela's house when her alarm system keeps going off. The alarms have been installed by her jealous brother, who goes ballistic when she gets near any man. Carmela and Pirelli soon find that when the bells toll, they toll for them. It's fairly clear early in the film what will happen, more or less. The fun is in getting there.
There has been controversy over the casting of so many non-Hispanic actors in Hispanic roles in "The Perez Family" - and there was certainly no shortage of talented Latino actors for "My Family," a film released at about the same time. But maybe non-traditional casting is a two-way street; what's certain is that the actors bring real heart to their roles. Tomei in particular has undergone some sort of transformation from her performances in "My Cousin Vinny" and "Only You," and now emerges as earthier and juicier. Anjelica Huston brings some of the same conflicting passions to this role she had in "Prizzi's Honor," and Alfred Molina, a British actor, is surprisingly convincing as her husband.
The director, Mira Nair, is a New Yorker who was born in India. She has a special interest in new arrivals to America; her previous film, "Mississippi Masala" (1992) was about a family of Indians from Uganda, operating a motel in the South. Here, she shows a good eye for the details of immigration, some of them fairly bizarre, as when the Miami Dolphins practice on the field of their stadium while the stands and entrance halls are jammed with thousands of refugees.
There are other details: The fake Perez "family" is moved out of the stadium, housed in a church rectory, and makes money by selling flowers at stop signs. A U.S. immigration official, himself an immigrant from the Indian subcontinent, is as bemused by the laws as anyone, but sworn to uphold them. And Carmela, now a Miami suburbanite with a daughter (Trini Alvarado) her husband has never seen, is willing to say anything to be reunited with him. ("She may be the most beautiful liar I have ever met," Palminteri muses).
The movie relies a little too much on contrivance sometimes. It's barely possible that Dottie dreams of making love to John Wayne soon after her arrival in America, and the scene where she finds out he is already dead is a funny one. But surely even in Cuba she would have known Elvis was also dead ("Elvis, too? So many assassinations!"). The movie sometimes bends the plausible to set up a laugh, and most of the time I didn't care, because I was enjoying the company of the characters.
"It's a madhouse!"
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.
Women are nicer than men. There are exceptions. Most people of both sexes are probably fairly nice, given the nat...

Upcoming Meeting
The BCAC and FCAC have scheduled a joint meeting for July 18 - 19, 2016 at Four Points Sheraton Chicago O'Hare. See meeting notice for more information.
Meeting Documents
BCAC General WG Project List 7.18-19.16
BCAC Structural WG Project List 7.18-19.16
BCAC Position Statement on G170-15 Public Comment #2
The Building Code Action Committee (BCAC) was the proponent of Code Change G170-15, which was intended to be an editorial reorganization of portions of Chapter 6 of the International Building Code. G170-15 was recommended for disapproval at the Committee Action Hearings and two public comments were submitted for the Public Comment Hearings (PCH). During testimony at the 2015 PCH for G170-15, the BCAC supported Public Comment #2 with the understanding that this comment included no technical changes to the current code provisions. G170-15 was approved as modified by public comment #2 at the PCH. Upon further review, the BCAC discovered an unintentional technical change within this comment that would prohibit the use of fire retardant treated wood (FRTW) in load bearing exterior walls of Type III construction. Under the current code provisions (2015 IBC) FRTW is allowed for use in load bearing exterior walls of Type III construction, therefore the BCAC no longer supports Public Comment #2 to G170-15.
If you are interested in participating in the activities of the Building CAC and would like to be added to our email distribution list to be notified of meetings and postings, please contact Dave Bowman.
See Council Policy 31 "Code Action Committees" for the scope of each of the CAC's.

Embraer has just delivered the first Legacy 500 private jet to none other than Jackie Chan. The actor's relationship with the company dates back to 2012 when he got a Legacy 650 aircraft as China's launch customer, becoming a brand ambassador.
While many of the world's highest-paid athletes weren't raised in affluent households, a few of them lived well before ever hitting the big time. Oftentimes the capital comes from a family of famous sports stars, like football player Peyton Manning, but there are a few who are actually heirs to old money that goes back decades. As much as we would love to say that their bank accounts bought them their careers, you just can't purchase true talent. But that said, pure skill and a privileged upbringing didn't keep these gents from making poor decisions, acting like brats and in one case, committing homicide.
Towards the end of a recent marathon viewing session Breaking Bad, I began to seriously worry for my life after Walter White (the character that earned Bryan Cranston four Emmys). My panic was brief, as a cursory search revealed that a second Golden Age of Television is in full swing and the pipeline is brimming with compelling new programs full of talent
Enough about The Big Game matchup, we're more interested in how we can hang bar-side with NFL players and mingle over appetizers with our favorite celebs. This week, the Bay is buzzing with millions of sports fans gearing up for Sunday's event, and the city has plenty of ways to keep them entertained
There is no denying that bloggers are the latest fashion "It" girls. We follow them on Instagram, defer to their expertise on seasonal colors and double-tap our way through their feed. Being a top "influencer" in this climate can bring a socially savvy lady with a large and dedicated fanbase some serious cash. So exactly how much is your favorite blogger making every time you heart their pic?
The great thing about awards season is seeing our favorite celebrities hit the red carpet in some of the most elegant dresses we've ever seen. But that didn't happen at this weekend's SAG Awards. Instead we got something much better. What is normally a parade of safe black and white gowns transformed into a daring rainbow of color, from deep cerulean to a touch of pale lavender.
This year is huge for book adaptations, with several critically-applauded stories being released onto the big screen. From longtime favorites like The Jungle Book to medical mysteries and war memoirs, 2016 is giving us the perfect excuse to visit our favorite book stores. While the book is (almost) always better than the movie, here's to hoping these adaptations come close to their literary counterparts. The following 13 films have the best source material Hollywood could hope for:
With the Super Bowl 50 a little over a week away, Fairmont San Francisco knows how to score big points with your beau and his friends. The hotel is offering a $1 Million Fantasy Big Game 50 Package which includes a four-night stay in the penthouse suite (JFK and Prince Charles once slept there), six monogrammed welcome robes and an open bar with your favorite snacks.
With unlimited funds, designers on speed dial and an entire army of stylists on rotation, celebrities are arguably some of the most fashionable people in the world. But just because Rihanna won a CFDA Fashion Icon Award, doesn't mean that she can design a collection. Many stars we consider to be sartorial heroes can't actually design anything.
Actress Ellie Kemper, known for playing the lead in Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, stars in the new Buick campaign video for their convertible Cascada. The lovable dork is all of us when she meets a cute guy and pretends the luxury car is her own to impress him, leading her to have a series of fantasies about their future together.
Amy Schumer's recent run in with plagiarism claims only serves to remind us that original ideas can be pretty hard to come by—especially when it involves art. So far, nothing has happened to the comedian other than a lot of side-eye and finger pointing, but other artists haven't fared so well in the past.
Though Jerry Seinfeld is known to have a pretty impressive car collection, he tends to be secretive over what kind (and how many) he actually has. Fans of his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee series may think they're seeing his personal automobiles, but according to Bloomberg Business, most of the autos featured don't actually belong to him. But now, thanks to an upcoming Amelia Island Auction in March, we know that Seinfeld owns a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, a 1958 Porsche 356 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster and a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR. Each expected to fetch at least $1 million, you can soon add them to your very own collection.
Last year the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite was started by April Reign in response to the Academy's dismissal of great performances from black actors and unfortunately, it's trending again. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released the list of Oscar nominees this morning and just like last year, the list is being called incredibly whitewashed and sadly, still not surprising.
Ever since it was founded back in 1963, Annabel's in London's Mayfair neighborhood has stood as one of the world's most-exclusive, members-only clubs. Though many elite organizations have a pretty large over 60 crowd, this place actually boasts a young membership base and some serious Hollywood heavyweights. Finally, after 50 years in operation, this high society haven is ready to make a major expansion that will open opportunities for an all-day lifestyle experience.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) opened on January 20 with the global elite gathering in Davos, Switzerland, amid a backdrop of serious turmoil in world stock markets brought on by the economic downturn in China and plunging oil prices. That will surely be the big moving story this year among the business titans, political leaders and celebrities who come each January to hobnob in one of Europe's most exclusive winter wonderlands. But market anxiety aside, plenty of ideas, glamorous happenings and provocative news will be coming out of Davos this year.
